Chapter 133 – 133. Fear (3)
As I was sitting quietly in her sister’s room drinking coffee, I got a call from her director.
“Hello, Director.”
-Uh, Jia. Are you alone now?
“… “My sister’s house.”
-Okay, good job. Don’t even think about wandering around. That bastard isn’t home right now.
Contents is… , It’s more serious than I thought.
The manager was not at his house her her her her.
Maybe he ran away because he was afraid of getting caught.
Maybe he escaped to get revenge on me.
-Sorry. I should have just reported it right then.
“No. I also agreed…”
-First of all, you have a history of receiving counseling, and there is also a can of sleeping pills. Because there are many witnesses. If you report it now, you will be able to prove your crime.
“… Will I end up in prison?”
-You have to trust the legal team about that. I think… Maybe it will work. This is enough.
However, I knew that I could no longer cover up this incident as if it never happened.
Now it’s a matter of personal safety.
Since the manager had already reached the level of insanity, there was no answer other than using the law to stop him.
… Perhaps many things will become public in the process.
I can’t help it.
-Anyway, never go outside. Stay still. I’ll take care of things like Sue and such.
“… Yes.”
After carefully listening to what the director said, I hung up the phone.
… Even if the manager comes here by chance, it’s okay as long as I stay at home.
It’s the same even if it’s not here but in my room upstairs.
I never told anyone the door lock password, and I changed it once more after that incident.
Rather, what I was worried about was Hinami.
He’s a naive kid by nature, so maybe he tried to threaten me…
“… “I have to call.”
When I thought about it, I tried to call right away.
But she kept calling several times, but there was no answer at all.
No way.
Already.
That can’t be possible.
As I shed the cold sweat I just wiped away, I checked to see if my manager had posted anything on Twitter.
After confirming that she hadn’t posted anything, she also checked Hinami’s Instagram, but there were no updates at all.
So she stamped her feet and came out to the living room.
“Uh, uh. I’ll see you tomorrow. Because Ha-eun wasn’t there today…”
Beyond the visit.
I heard Kang Joo-hyuk’s voice talking to someone who was not his sister.
If you infer from the conversation, it’s probably Hinami.
She relaxed slightly at the fact that nothing was wrong and flopped down on the sofa. Just then, she saw the phone ringing and answered the phone again.
The sender is… , Of course, Hinami just hung up the phone.
-What is it, Jiaya
“Hinami, where are you now?”
-Inside the house?
“… “The manager said he’s gone missing from his house, so don’t go outside and don’t open the door if anyone comes.”
-… Suddenly?
“Ask the director for more details. … “I’ll hang up.”
-Oh, wait, Jia…
I hung up immediately after conveying my business.
… There is no particular reason.
I just felt so relaxed that I didn’t have enough energy to properly explain the incident.
Maybe it was because she was sweating so much that she felt dizzy.
I fall down on the sofa holding my forehead and close my eyes.
… Ha.
I’m glad she came down at least.
Even if the worst happens.
That guy acts as an alarm bell…
I’m not going to do it…
**
“Hot…”
For a moment, I felt an eerie feeling and suddenly woke up.
It was already dark outside.
The fact that it is this dark in the middle of summer means that it is already around 7 or 8 pm.
Even though I slept in the afternoon, I was asleep for quite some time.
To wet my dry lips while I was sleeping, I throw off the blanket, get out of bed, and open the door.
“… ?”
… Bed.
Why am I sleeping in bed?
I definitely fell asleep on the sofa…
“Did you sleep well?”
“… “What is it?”
When I opened the door and came out, I saw a bored-looking Kang Joo-hyuk lying on the sofa, staring blankly at the TV.
The clothes are similar to the clothes worn during the day, only the color has changed.
Even the hair that looked a little messy was roughly tidied up.
This man gives off an unpleasant scent.
“… “Why did you move to that bed without saying anything?”
“… Then, all three sofas are occupied and they are lying down, so why not clean them up? “I have to watch TV too.”
It was a bit unpleasant to see them shamelessly picking up people and moving them around, but it wasn’t so annoying that I wanted to get angry.
Anyway, I was the one who slept lying down on the sofa.
Without saying a word, I keep my mouth shut and head towards the kitchen to wet my dry lips with water.
“Just eat something.” Because I ordered it.”
“…”
I also half-ignored him as he blurted out things that were so blunt that they were insensitive.
When I see the salmon poke on the table, I take a spoon and sit down without saying a word.
Boom, boom. Shuung, click, the sound of the resonating TV is used as background music.
I take out my cell phone that was left in my pocket and check the manager’s tweets first.
-I want to die
… It was terminal.
If you upload a photo of a sunset and see it doing that. I didn’t know exactly what the disease was, but I was certain that something was wrong with my head.
I feel sick again when I think that maybe that thing is near my house.
If this continues, no one will actually get stabbed.
Not necessarily me, but someone innocent.
“…”
Whether he knew how I felt or not, Kang Joo-hyuk was silent, alternating between looking at the TV and looking at his cell phone.
When I looked closely, I saw that there were wireless earphones plugged into only one ear.
Surprised at the fact that, at least for now, I feel safer with that man than without him, I sigh slightly and lift my spoon to put dinner in my mouth.
… Should I stay here for just one day?
Although she says she doesn’t have a sister… , I don’t think he’s going to touch me at all.
At this point, if you ask who is more dangerous between the manager and Kang Joo-hyuk, it goes without saying that it is definitely the manager.
However, the current atmosphere is definitely not comfortable.
“… Ah, Mr. After you eat, clean up after yourself. I’m going in.”
“…”
As if to prove my thoughts, he was lying down with a dull expression on his face, scratching his head and going back to his room without even looking at me.
To be honest, the atmosphere was so stuffy that it was almost embarrassing, so I felt like it was a consideration for him to disappear from sight.
… If that man hadn’t touched Hinami, he wouldn’t have thought anything of it.
Of course, when I first saw it, I tried to kick it out… , At that time, it seemed very suspicious that someone with seemingly irregular income was meeting with my sister.
If he were just an ordinary gym owner, he wouldn’t have cared at all whether he was dating my sister or not.
“… Ha.”
I still don’t know why someone who likes her older sister so much would even put her hand on Hinami.
Of course, no matter how much I think about a man, I can’t know it.
The same goes for managers.
Even if he stalked me in such a dark way, if I hated him, he would hate me even more. There was no way he would like me.
Why on earth are you doing this to me?
Did you seriously think you had a chance?
The obsession of a man I don’t like is just disgusting.
It’s not necessarily something you only tell the manager.
For example, if Kang Joo-hyuk shows such obsession with me…
“…”
… I almost threw up the salmon I was eating.
That imagination was several times more horrifying than the manager.
The manager just needs to be thrown in jail.
I felt like Kang Joo-hyuk was somehow going to gaslight me and make me like his older sister.
He is brainwashed by him and acts cute like his older sister his, and it seriously makes me sick to imagine the day when he is filmed like Hinami and his whole body his his his is shaking.
I searched the refrigerator and took a sip of the Coke Zero that happened to be in my stomach.
After slowly chewing the remaining rice, he finished cleaning up and sat down on the sofa he had been lying on until a moment ago.
… A needlessly warm sofa with an unpleasant warmth remaining.
He sat with his butt as close to the corner as possible, and only then did the leather cool down and he was able to sit comfortably.
I take a sip of the remaining cola and watch the TV he turned on.
I didn’t know it because I heard it earlier, but the channel that was on was a baseball channel.
Before we knew it, there were 2 outs in the top of the 9th inning.
As for the batter… , My dad’s team.
The game ended with the last batter swinging and missing without a hitch.
Defeated 11 to 8.
Looking at the final scoreboard, I finally understood why he was displeased.
We gave up 4 runs in the 8th inning and lost.
“…”
… I thought he hated my dad’s team.
Still, I still feel love and hate because I have been playing for a few years.
Or is it because you have colleagues you know and are cheering you on?
Maybe he looks miserable because he can’t be there…
Maybe that’s not it.
If I were the Kang Joo-hyuk that I have experienced so far, I would like this life much more than my life as a baseball player.
After the baseball game ends, I turn off the TV, darken the bright living room, and go into the bathroom.
I was naturally trying to brush my teeth in a place that looked just like my house.
It wasn’t until I saw three toothbrushes stuck in the toothbrush rack that I realized this wasn’t my house.
After searching everywhere, including the towel box, I couldn’t find it, so I left the bathroom and headed to his room.
“What.”
“Toothbrush, where is it?”
“…”
He responded immediately to two knocks, opened the door, walked out without a word, and searched through the drawers.
Then he took out a purple toothbrush from inside, opened the package, handed it to me, and went back to his room.
“… “What is it?”
… He looks so indifferent towards me that it’s slightly unpleasant.
The person who has shown so much malice towards me.
To be honest, it feels a bit awkward to show off that it’s so annoying just for today.
Of course, that kind of attitude is better than usual, but…
I don’t know why it does that.
… Is she a little upset because her sister stays out?
He’s a strange person, indeed.
I wouldn’t have gone anyway if I told her not to.
“…”
I brush my teeth with the toothbrush I got from him, wash my face lightly, then go back to my room and borrow my sister’s cosmetics.
Anyway, when we were on good terms, I gave her a lot of cosmetics as gifts, so I won’t say anything if I borrow a little of her.
With such a clean face, I lay back on the bed and dozed off.
I never fell asleep, but I was becoming drowsy.
“Give it a go…” ” ” .”
Tiririring.
The sound of the door lock being unlocked was heard, and the owner of the room stepped into the entrance.
I’m glad I don’t have to spend the night alone with Kang Joo-hyuk…
At the same time as thinking.
Today I realized that I haven’t contacted my sister at all.
… I got a little scared.
Even the man who seemed bothered by everything today.
I don’t think I should have mentioned this.
