Yes, It’s Me. The Obsessive Side Top

#041

“Did my darlings have a good time? You must be hungry. I’ll make you some food.”

Grandmother came in with a face full of smiles, looking like she had fun. I quickly ran over and helped Grandmother set the table for dinner. She fried some zucchini pancakes from the zucchini in a corner next to the pepper field, and when I ate the hot ones she fried right next to me, she gently tapped my cheeks, calling me cute.

Sun Woo saw that and clicked his tongue faintly.  

“Ha Jin. You’ll eat up all the side dishes at this rate.”

“Darling, don’t be like that and come here to eat one while it’s warm.”

Grandmother picked up a zucchini pancake from the plate next to her and offered it to him. I took it instead and held it in front of Sun Woo’s mouth, but he unnecessarily opened his mouth wide and put my fingers inside too. I felt his lips brush my fingers, then his tongue tickled my fingertips before pulling away. 

He’s doing this on purpose, isn’t he…?

When I bit my lower lip and glared at him, he smiled leisurely and went outside with the side dishes.

‘Damn guy. He was making such a pitiful face until just now.’

After eating dinner full of Grandmother’s touch, I told Sun Woo to clean up and went for a short village walk with Grandmother again. As soon as we returned, Grandmother said she was tired and would go to bed early. Sun Woo and I didn’t talk much and stayed on the wooden bench until the sun set, then went into the room.

When I came in after washing up, Sun Woo had spread out the blanket and was lying on his side. He was lying down, twisting his body towards the spot that seemed to be left for me. Seeing his actions, I felt a small sigh escape, thinking I would inevitably have to fall asleep trapped in Sun Woo’s arms again tonight. I turned off the light and went back to my spot.

After lying down, I took out my cell phone and checked it. There were a bunch of calls and texts accumulated on my phone that I hadn’t checked all day. Three from an unknown number and Kim Shin… Still, it’s less than usual today. I thought he sure calls persistently even though I never answer. And there were also calls from Mi-eun and Beom-jun.

Opening my text messages, there was a message from Mi-eun.

[Why aren’t you answering the phone ㅠ Let’s go camping if you have time!]

And from Beom-jun too.

[Min-ha says to go camping. Let’s go together, Ha Jin. Min-ha says she has all the equipment, so just bring yourself.]

“The kids are going camping.”

“Huh?”

What, were you looking at the screen together? Well, I guess you can see it even if you just slightly turn your eyes since we’re this close.

As soon as I put my phone down, Sun Woo wrapped his arm around my waist.

“I got a message too. Asking to go camping.”

“So what did you say?”

“I said I couldn’t go. And I told them you couldn’t go either.”

Then I guess I don’t have to reply separately… Wait, but what happens if Sun Woo says I can’t go? What’s going to happen? They’ll probably just think Sun Woo and I are together…

There were also a few messages from Kim Shin, but I didn’t look at my phone anymore since they would clearly just be full of nonsense.

I twisted my body to the side as much as possible to avoid Sun Woo. Then Sun Woo snuggled up close behind me. Lying on my side made me even more pressed against his body. His hand holding my waist, his chest felt on my back, and his lower body touching my butt.

Too close.

“Sun Woo. Can you move away a bit?”

It’s tiring to say it every time, but Sun Woo is really something for ignoring my request every time.

“This position is comfortable for me.”

“It’s uncomfortable for me though?”

“Bear with it. It’s my room.”

I was momentarily at a loss for words at the tyranny of the room’s owner.

I closed my eyes to cut off unnecessary thoughts. Perhaps because I had done physical labor during the day, my body soon lost strength and my breathing slowed. Just as I was about to fall asleep like that, I felt Sun Woo’s touch.

His hand that had been tickling my back was now groping my waist. I tried to ignore it, but as his touch gradually became bolder, I couldn’t stand it and opened my eyes. I slightly ground my teeth, looking at the wall in front of me.

“You’re not going to sleep?”

“Ha Jin.”

At Sun Woo’s voice suddenly calling out weakly, I stopped moving and focused, feeling his slow breathing behind my back. It felt as if his emotions were being conveyed through my back. They were very heavy, sad, and also desperate.

“Honestly, I’m scared.”

Knowing his feelings, I overlapped my hand on the back of his. And I gently patted it.

“It’s okay. Nothing will happen.”

“…”

Sun Woo buried his face in my back. Feeling sorry for him, I held his hand and pulled it up. And I lightly kissed his palm before pulling away.

“Don’t worry and sleep.”

“Ha Jin.”

Sun Woo’s slow breathing returned to normal, as if my comfort had worked. There was already strength in his voice calling my name. Not long after, his hand reached out towards me again and carefully touched my lips.

“?”

This bastard?

I roughly turned my body back towards Sun Woo, who started doing weird things again after I comforted him. His face, faintly visible, had a playful smile. I was about to furrow my brows and get angry, but I shut my mouth tight when I noticed the moisture in the corners of his eyes.

“Touching you calms me down a bit. Can I?”

At Sun Woo’s words, I softly replied “crazy bastard” and sighed as if telling him to do as he pleased. Sun Woo smiled and fiddled with my lips again. His eyes were moist but he didn’t shed tears in the end. I think Sun Woo would look prettier crying than me.

Even though I knew I shouldn’t accept his touch, I couldn’t refuse.

Although I became wary since his behavior had become very strange since the day we reunited in the countryside, somehow it wasn’t easy to push him away. He’s too pretty to push away.

The next day, Grandmother gathered the things to sell at the market and went to the medicinal herb market with Sun Woo and me in the car. Many elderly people had already set up their stalls in one area of the medicinal herb market. As if everyone had their own spot, Grandmother walked with familiar steps towards an empty spot.

“You kids look around somewhere else for a bit. Grandma will be here selling these.”

“We’ll help you. Let’s sell together.”

“Goodness, it’s cramped. It’s barely enough for me to sit alone. Other people will complain.”

“Still, you’ll be lonely by yourself.”

“What? What’s lonely? These are all my friends here.”

Grandmother brightly smiled and waved her hand wildly. As if telling us to go quickly.

As I hesitated, Sun Woo pulled me towards him.

“Darling, show Jin-i around a bit.”

“Okay. Call me if you need anything. I’ll come right away.”

“Alright, alright. Go on now. Grandma will enjoy her hobby here.”

Grandmother arranged the things to sell with an energetic expression.

As I was being dragged away by Sun Woo, I kept looking back, and Grandmother stopped arranging and lifted her head to wave at me, looking worried.

“This is something Grandmother enjoys. Meeting people and having conversations is what she likes.”

“If she likes dealing with people, should we open a store for Grandmother?”

At my words, Sun Woo let out a small laugh. His expression brightened, as if forgetting about Grandmother’s illness for a moment.

“Grandmother must be happy to have a rich grandson.”

“Money is all I have left.”

Right. Ha Jin is a chaebol heir, so he can’t do that one thing for her? Seeing how he bought this and that for Sun Woo in the webtoon, it seemed like his family didn’t care much about his spending.

The place Sun Woo drove to, saying he would show me around, was a park. The park, not far from the medicinal herb market, was a large forest. At the entrance, there was a large space with several small ponds. Those ponds were full of various lotus flowers. There were well-paved paths to walk around, and quite a few people were walking around since it seemed to be a famous tourist spot.

As I walked looking at the lotus flowers, I felt the gazes of people passing by and got self-conscious for no reason.

“Was the impact of the article that big? I think people recognize me?”

With an uneasy heart, I put on the sunglasses I was holding. I tried to hide my face somehow, but it didn’t seem to have much effect as people still widened their eyes looking at me.

“Not everyone in the world knows your face.”

“Ah, is that so?”

Well, I’m not a celebrity. They might recognize me at the school I attend, but not in a place like this. Still, just in case, I didn’t take off the sunglasses I was wearing.

After looking at the lotus flowers, we walked further in to see the forest. A little past the entrance, there was an old swing in a wide lawn. The kind of swing Chunhyang rode with Hyangdan.

Seeing that reminded me of Jung Woo, who wanted me to serve him. That day, I really thought I had become Chunhyang.

The video I had uploaded as a countermeasure after the firearms violence incident was slowly surfacing from the depths. Of course, it would take more time for it to fully surface.

Passing that place, a lush forest appeared. The forest path was just right for two people to walk side by side. There weren’t many people on the forest path, as everyone seemed to be looking at the lotus flowers. The forest path was cool to the point where the hot summer day wasn’t felt. The scent of grass and soil refreshed my nose. The dirt path on the ground was soft. Even though it was a clear day, not a single ray of sunlight came in thanks to the densely grown leaves, and the moist air felt nice on my skin.

I thought this is what healing is, but then Sun Woo held my hand. It was peaceful. Damn it.

When I looked at him as if asking what he was doing, he gave a pleasant smile.

“For my sense of stability.”
