Chapter 132 – 132. Fear (2)
Wearing short sleeves and long pants as if he just woke up.
The man looking down at me with a tired, annoyed expression.
No matter how much he looked beyond the front door, there was no sign of his older sister or Hinami.
“Why do you come in as you please every weekend?”
“Where did my sister go?”
“Friend’s birthday.”
“… About that one.”
“I can’t tag along to her friend’s birthday party. “I’m just taking a break because it’s Sunday.”
“…”
Should I say that I was unlucky because it was only Kang Joo-hyuk?
Or should I say I’m glad that at least this person stayed.
I don’t know anymore.
Suddenly, I lost all my strength and ended up collapsing on the front door.
“Hey, what is it?”
“…”
He was uncharacteristically embarrassed, but I wasn’t relaxed enough to care about that.
After he let out his breath and calmed his heart, he was finally able to get rid of his fear.
It’s true that the manager is a crazy stalker, but like the director said earlier, this place has strong security.
I couldn’t make a sound decision because the photo of the cheerleader uniform was still flashing on my retina.
… I just wish I was stuck at home.
There was no need for him to come down here.
“Are you okay?”
“… Are you okay. “I’m sorry.”
Wiping away the cold sweat running down my forehead with my arm, I stood up, dusted myself off, and was ready to go back.
No matter how scared I was, there was no need to be alone with this man.
Just as I was about to nod and turn to walk away.
“Well, what is it?”
“Why are you leaving without any explanation?”
… Kang Joo-hyuk grabbed my wrist.
Never let them escape from here.
“She came down for a moment because she thought it was her sister. Let go.”
“What does that have to do with leaving the door unlocked and entering someone else’s house without knocking?”
“…”
I was very upset with the man who told the landlord not to break into other people’s houses because he lived alone, but I couldn’t refute him.
If the situation were reversed, I would never have sent it back.
While thinking about where to start and how far to convince you, I swallowed my saliva once.
I dig into my pocket, take out my cell phone, and hand it to him.
“What is it?”
“… Because of this.”
A tweet from a person presumed to be the manager.
When he saw that a lot of my photos were up, his already scary face became even scarier.
He soon let go of my wrist and returned the phone to me.
“Are you a stalker?”
“… Yes. … “That manager from last time.”
“Come in first.”
“Oh, that’s…”
“Don’t say anything strange and come in.”
I tried to take advantage of that opportunity and go back to my house.
He looked at me with a serious expression, then walked behind me, pushed me with his back, and closed the front door.
… I didn’t want this.
“Did you report it?”
“… Oh, contact the director…”
“Do it, quickly.”
I stood restlessly at the front door, embarrassed.
When he reminded me of something I had forgotten out of fear, I hurriedly sent the manager’s Twitter account to the director, and only relaxed a little when I received a reply saying that he had figured it out.
… Maybe I should report it this time.
It’s too dangerous to cover up.
There will definitely be articles and strange rumors going around, but for now, I have no choice but to trust my agency.
If… Even if Hinami goes up and down in the media.
I have to somehow cover up by using her sister as an excuse.
He wouldn’t want it to escalate.
“There are all kinds of idiots.”
“…”
It didn’t really suit this man to say something like that, but for now, he nodded.
Because it was definitely not wrong.
“For now, stay here for a while. “It’s better than being alone.”
“…”
But I couldn’t just nod my head to these words.
As dangerous and scary as the manager is.
Because he was scary and scary as well.
If you think about it, this man was more dangerous.
The manager and I are similar in height and physically weak, so I should be able to shake him off somehow and run away.
It was obvious that no matter what I did, I wouldn’t be able to escape from this man.
“Don’t break out in a cold sweat like that. Come in and wash first.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Are your clothes all wet now? Please check.”
As soon as I heard the words that doubled his suspicions, I looked embarrassed, so he pointed at his back and pointed at me, trying to clear up the misunderstanding.
I hurriedly turned my arm and touched it, and when I realized that the back of my pajamas was damp with sweat, I pursed my lips in shame.
… It shouldn’t have been this scary.
It was just a bit creepy and bizarre.
“Go to Ha-eun’s room and borrow some clothes. “I’ll be in my room.”
In fact.
It was okay to shake my head and go back.
Go back to my house, wash, and change clothes.
If I was really anxious, it didn’t matter if I came back then.
… But.
“… Yes.”
To Kang Joo-hyuk, who is blocking the front door.
The moment you say something like that.
… I feel like his dirty and shady nature, his will come out.
I couldn’t get it out of my mouth.
The only person who can help me here is.
Because there is no one.
**
While drying my wet hair, I go into my sister’s room.
Of course, I had already changed my clothes in the bathroom and came out.
… There were a lot of strange clothes, but I wore them as loosely as possible.
Black long-sleeved tee, gray long pants.
Clothes that don’t even show the collarbone.
The underwear is also ordinary gray underwear.
However, the bra is a little big for me… , First, I put on a sports bra.
“… Ha.”
… Do I have to stay here until I get a reply from the director?
In fact, if I tell him I want to go back, he might just let me go.
Unlike the manager, he is someone who doesn’t need to be obsessed with me.
If you touch me by mistake, you and Hinami will both be lost.
With such rational thoughts, I gained confidence and left the room as soon as I finished drying my hair.
A living room that is still morbidly clean.
Likewise, a clean kitchen.
I searched the kitchen to get some instant coffee, but strangely enough, I was wandering around because I could only find green tea and black tea bags.
“Why. “What should I eat?”
“No, coffee…”
“There are coffee beans.”
Kang Joo-hyuk came out of his room and found me. He pointed to a white bag and told me that there were coffee beans in it.
… Doesn’t suit me, why do I brew my own coffee? This person.
As I stood there blankly with an expression of surprise on my face, he came to the kitchen, opened the bag containing the coffee beans, brought out a grinder, and started grinding the coffee.
“Have you never tried brewing coffee?”
“… There is. I’ve tried it with a hand drip and an espresso machine. I also worked part-time at a cafe.”
“I tried working part-time at a cafe.”
“Because of the broadcast.”
“Ah, of course. It’s worth it.”
He was grinding quite brightly colored coffee beans, yawning widely, putting the ground coffee beans into the moka pot and starting to boil water.
“Oh, it’s annoying. “I guess I should buy a machine too.”
“…”
Is he talking to himself or is he talking to me?
I stand across from him who is naturally talking and quietly listen to the sound of water boiling.
On the other hand, I was relieved because it seemed like he wasn’t interested in me at all.
On the other hand, I felt it was too showy, so I was a little uncomfortable.
“… Hey, but where did you get those clothes?”
“Yes?”
“I’ve never seen Ha-eun wearing that outfit.”
“… “It was just in the closet.”
“Really?”
Are you trying to forcefully erase even that unpleasant feeling?
He pointed to the clothes I was wearing and showed a genuine reaction as if he was seeing me for the first time.
… Probably not a lie.
Sometimes when I run into my sister, I always feel very exposed.
So, this is why I said I wore long clothes…
… Ah, I hate it.
I already had a headache, but I didn’t want to make a fuss with this man because I was shaking my head at every word.
“… “When will you come back?”
“I don’t know. “I heard you’re staying overnight?”
“Yes?”
So, to somehow end the conversation, I brought up the story of her sister.
He gave me an unexpected answer.
“No, why are you so surprised? “How old is he?”
“… You gave permission for that? “You?”
“Is there anything I can’t allow?”
“…”
… I couldn’t understand it.
I know how obsessed this man is with his sister.
I didn’t trust him at all when he spoke calmly as if staying out overnight was no big deal.
“Would she go out and meet a man or what? At best, I’ll just go out and have a drink with my friends. “Do you think there isn’t that much trust between me and him?”
“Shouldn’t you be worried about your sister?”
I don’t understand why my sister believes in Kang Joo-hyuk, but it’s possible.
Kang Joo-hyuk could have done that if he thought that believing in her older sister she was also confident.
However.
I don’t think Kang Joo-hyuk would trust people who approach her sister.
… Maybe it’s a lie.
Actually, my sister went out to do some grocery shopping.
Maybe she saw that I came in and contacted me to tell me not to come back.
“That… “It’s because I didn’t see what Ha-eun said when she left.”
But contrary to my suspicions.
He looked a little embarrassed, grabbed the back of his neck, looked away, and said,
“What did you say?”
“If you hear that, you will lose respect for her sister.”
“… There is no such thing, from the beginning.”
“Do you really want to hear about your sister’s shameful her private life her her her from someone else’s her mouth her her her?”
“…”
… Something that can be imagined to some extent even without being said.
My sister’s charming voice that I don’t necessarily want to hear.
It resonated in my imagination at will.
“Drink some coffee.” “I didn’t let you in because I liked you.”
“… Then what is it?”
“I’m the owner of the house, and Ha-eun is my younger sister, so it’s just…” ” ” . Under. Done. … Think with common sense. “What would I think of you?”
“…”
Unlike that older sister.
It seems like it’s really annoying to me.
Rather, he seems annoyed.
Watching him suppress and endure his malice
I have bitter coffee… I thought it was, but I took a sip of coffee that was strangely sour.
I didn’t bother to run away from him as he trudged back to his room.
At least for now.
More than hating me.
Because I seemed to like my sister more.
