Chapter 150 – 150. Taming (3)
Saturday night.
Ah, now it’s past midnight, so it’s Sunday morning.
He didn’t sleep with anyone until today.
Since I have a day off tomorrow, the superficial reason is probably to hold out for a day…
The real reason is that it’s difficult to wake up while you’re sleeping.
He was in his room her his her, and my sister and Hinami were in her sister’s room her her her.
Lastly, I should have been sleeping in a soundproof booth…
I thought I would feel bad if I was woken up by that man for no reason.
It was just up.
Mask and sunglasses.
I sat on the sofa wrapped in a hat, short sleeves, a cardigan, and long pants.
Dressed in a dark night so you wouldn’t recognize me.
“I’m ready.”
“… Since they kept their promise, all I can do is keep it.”
As I waited quietly, he came out of the room and spoke very softly.
Unlike back then when I was half-raped, I’ve gotten used to it a bit.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ve developed a crush or become more comfortable.
… It just became a little less scary.
That’s all.
“Follow me. … “I’ve been like this all week, but I’m not going to do anything weird.”
“… Just know that if he breaks his promise, he breaks it too.”
“Know. “I’ll just walk for about an hour and come back.”
He doesn’t touch me, but he just stands still with his shoes on and waits for me to get up.
Even though my fear was reduced, I didn’t want to get closer, so I hesitated for a while,
After seeing him standing still without saying anything, I eventually stand up from the sofa.
He quietly and quietly approaches the front door, puts on his shoes, and stands behind me, eliminating the option of going back.
When he stands in front of the door after completing all preparations to leave, he opens the door lock, which has been set to silent as if he had never used it before, and steps into the midsummer night air, which is definitely hotter than inside the house.
“… “What is the purpose of this?”
“I thought it would be frustrating to be locked in my room all the time because of my manager.”
“Under. … “You’re kidding, right?”
“About half. … Well, whatever the reason. “I’m literally just going to take a walk.”
As I went down the elevator and kept my distance from him, Kang Joo-hyuk did not come closer than a certain distance to me.
To be honest, he was biting his lip and trying to resist being hugged by the waist, but it was unexpected.
A walk as far as you can go.
The ostensible reason for this is that she felt sorry for a woman who had a busy day and traveled around the country and even abroad, but was stuck in her room for a while and couldn’t go out, so she asked to get some fresh air for the first time in a long time.
… I really can’t believe a single word.
“…”
He continued to look sideways at me and laugh unpleasantly, as if he thought that ridiculous bragging was really amazing.
It was a smile that gave me goosebumps the more I looked at it, but the closer I got to the ground, the thicker the night air calmed my chicken skin.
Eventually, the elevator stopped, and as I stepped out of the building, the heavy night air became even more muggy.
It was definitely a very cool weather compared to the daytime.
It felt quite hot to me, who had been locked in the room all day,
… Just as he says.
Still, because it was outside, even the hot air felt refreshing.
It would have been a bit cooler if it hadn’t come through the mask.
“Follow me. “Let’s walk straight this way.”
I put on a hat, sunglasses, and a mask to cover my face.
Because that wasn’t enough, I hid myself as much as possible in his body.
I can barely see in front of me, and I just walk down the street looking at Kang Joo-hyuk’s back his.
… Except for that day, no matter how famous I am, I have never walked around outside shaking with this much anxiety.
The fear that was engraved in my heart that day was still creeping into my heart, making me afraid to walk outside like him.
He said he knew very well that even if he hugged me like this, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.
My heart mocks myself, saying that no matter what I do, as long as I don’t rape, it will be covered up.
“Ouch. “Don’t step on shoes.”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Come to the side. Don’t keep hiding behind.”
I got so angry at the ridicule that I shook my head and accidentally stepped on his heel.
Kang Joo-hyuk, frowning slightly, grabs my wrist and pulls me to his side.
There was clearly an intention to shake off his grabbed wrist,
For some reason, it doesn’t reach his hands.
“What. Even though it’s summer, it’s still not that hot. “I guess it’s because it’s early morning.”
“… That’s right.”
“You’re drenched in sweat.”
“…”
Instead, I shed a drop or two of cold sweat.
I stupidly reveal that I still have fear of him.
That makes me feel irritated and resentful, so I straighten my shriveled body and confidently walk with long strides.
So that we can get ahead of that.
As I take a few big steps forward, he widens his strides and moves forward just enough to pass me and take half a step ahead.
Then he turns his body and walks sideways, looks at me and opens his mouth with a smile.
“What are you doing next week?”
“… I have a schedule starting next week. The manager thing has been roughly sorted out, so I have to go to work and practice. I also have to film the content I create during my break. … And since the manager doesn’t seem to be doing any more nonsense, I’m going to go upstairs and sleep.”
Not everything I said was a lie.
It is also true that you have to go to work.
It is true that we need to practice while preparing for the new album.
It is also true that we need to create content for fans.
… It is also true that the manager has become calmer on the outside.
What I didn’t say, however, is that you can rest if I say I want to rest.
Due to the director’s consideration, I haven’t stopped by the company yet, but from what I heard, I was able to fully understand what kind of atmosphere was flowing in the company.
Even if I just take a year off, no one will blame me.
That everyone feels sorry for me.
However, I didn’t want to reveal this to Kang Joo-hyuk.
Even if I sympathized with him, it would be meaningless.
Even if it wasn’t him, I didn’t want to be pitied.
“Well, did they find a new manager?”
“No. Yet. … I’ll probably get it before I start a new activity. Before then, there’s no need to go around anyway, so it’s okay to borrow it from another team.”
All I want is to maintain the status quo.
I really just hope it passes as if nothing happened.
The crime my manager committed against me,
The disgust I had towards my sister and Hinami,
The evil things he did to me,
Burying everything on the ground, passing by as if time jumped.
“If you need it, use me.” My identity is also clear. I have a close relationship with your director. Isn’t it okay?”
“… “You’re kidding, right?”
“It’s not a joke. It’s not like I’m going around the local schedule, I can take you to your company.”
“…”
But he never seemed to have any intention of leaving me like that.
I hope that I will forever be tied to that accident,
The fear I had for him bound me so that it would never go away.
“Well, if you don’t like it, that’s fine. … “Let’s go for a walk in the early morning like this.”
“Why don’t you be honest? “I want to flirt with Hinami while driving her to and from work.”
“No. “I don’t want people to know that I’m close with Hinami.”
“Not even lies…”
“Instead, I want to show off that I am close with you. … Even if we get along well, there are no problems.”
Put your hand gently on her shoulder. Shortening the distance in an instant.
On a deserted street at night, he put his mouth to my ear and spoke in a completely different voice than before.
“… From now on, your sister is going to be active in her face. “I’m going to an event next week.”
“What… , Event?”
“Popular gaming event. All you have to do is go and wear game character clothes and take a quick picture. … Well, that’s not what’s important.”
For a moment, I thought about whether this was a gaming event I was hosting.
Only when I feel his blunt hand his gently removing my hat he do I look back at him in shock.
But I couldn’t escape from his embrace that held me,
I am once again sucked in by his tongue his teasing my ear hers.
“The important thing is that she is your sister. … If an idol’s older sister worked as a cosplayer, it would be a bit of an issue, right? “It’s not that wholesome.”
“… So.”
“Even if it doesn’t make it into the news, people will eventually notice. Other cosplayer Sophia who pretends to be a YouTuber is actually Seo Ji-ah’s older sister, Seo Ha-eun. It turns out that she, Seo Ha-eun, is living with Kang Joo-hyuk, a former baseball player and current gym owner. … Even the fact that you live right upstairs.”
… My sister.
Crawling out into the sun with a not-so-honorable business card.
He was secretly enjoying it.
“… In the end, the fact that you and I have a connection is bound to be discovered. It wouldn’t have mattered if Ha-eun had been in the shadows, hiding her face the whole time.”
“… “What do you want to say?”
“Let’s be friends.” … It’s good, right? I often post pictures of the three of us on Instagram. Let’s go out and play together. “Aren’t there a few men who are as close to you as your prospective ‘brother-in-law’ and yet are rarely suspected?”
“…”
“If you don’t want to do that, you can go for a walk like today and continue to risk getting caught and a scandal breaking out right away. … Well, I also don’t want to be labeled as a cheating bastard on the front page of the newspaper.”
As my eardrums were raped by his tongue,
I am caught up in this cold yet hot air outside.
“What do you want to do? … Rather than going for a walk early in the morning like today, wouldn’t it be better to just ‘pretend to be friendly’ on a regular basis?”
“…”
Biting my lip.
… I nod my head quietly.
