Chapter 151 – 151. Taming (4)
“… Then follow me.”
He walks somewhere, holding my wrist as I nod.
After putting the hat back on that he had taken off, he walked with a clear destination in mind, unlike before when he just walked straight ahead.
After trudging and moving endlessly, what I see in front of me is.
… His gym is already closed.
“Wait a moment. “I’ll get you something to eat.”
“Suddenly what… ” .”
“To commemorate our friendship, let’s have a late-night snack together. … Well, if you want to go somewhere better, I can take you there. “If you don’t like that, would you like to come to the convenience store?”
He pointed towards the downtown area and cut off my options again.
Stopping at the convenience store was also not an option for me.
“I think my sister-in-law has never been able to eat late-night snacks in her life because she is an idol. … “I’m trying to take care of you once, but you don’t like it?”
“… “It’s disgusting, really.”
“Then I’ll buy it.”
In the end, I had no choice but to shake off my disgust and get into the elevator alone.
Standing in front of the closed gym, waiting endlessly for him to come back,
He grabs his abs that are growling without notice, and bites his innocent lip for no reason.
“… Ha.”
I didn’t believe it from the beginning when I was told that I only went for walks.
But now I have no intention of running away.
Even if I go back to his house anyway, he will follow me.
Even if I run away to my house, they can attack me at any time.
In the end, the night will not end until he is satisfied.
I felt more comfortable in a place where I didn’t have to worry about being caught.
No matter what happens here, no one will notice.
… Except for the CCTV that is staring at me.
“Hey, I’m here. Wake up.”
“… Yes.”
It didn’t take long for him to return, holding a heavy plastic bag in one hand,
I follow him as he opens the door and steps into the dark, empty gym.
Perhaps because it hasn’t been that long since business closed, the inside is cooler than expected.
As he took off his shoes and stood still inside the dark building, he took out a long can from a plastic bag and thrust it at me.
“Would you like a drink too?”
“… “I don’t need it.”
If it were obvious, it would be natural.
Even though it was dark, I could easily tell that it was ‘alcohol’.
I straight up refuse his invitation, which is smiling unpleasantly and harboring sinister intentions.
… If I got drunk here, it wouldn’t be strange at all no matter what happened.
Instead, I take a hot bar out of the bag and hold it to his mouth. I wiggle my empty hands awkwardly because he stole the half-opened hot bar.
“What is it?”
“You have to heat it up and eat it. There is a stove in the break room. Follow me.”
“… Yes.”
He headed towards the lounge, holding a cup of ramen in both hands like a hot bar. After turning on the light, he turned on the stove, took hot water from the water purifier, and boiled two cups of each.
A smell that seemed a lot more delicious than expected wafted through the building, and he poured the cup ramen water into the bathroom, placed it on the table in the break room, and mixed in the seasoning.
As I turned my attention to the smell of ramen, which seemed a little overly spicy, he held it out to me with chopsticks and placed a black beer can next to it.
“If you get sick while eating, wash your mouth.”
“I don’t drink. Clean it up.”
“I have mine.”
I hit a wall when he offers me alcohol in a really obvious way, but instead I reach for the innocent cup ramen first.
I took off everything that was covering my face on the table and put a chopstick into my mouth with cup ramen, which I had never eaten since I debuted as an idol. An indescribable taste filled my tongue.
Spicy and slightly sweet.
The taste of instant food that chemically envelops your tongue.
As soon as the brain releases dopamine at its own pleasure from that stimulating taste,
The pain in the tongue increases instantly.
“Ha, wait…”
“What, you can’t eat spicy food?”
“You eat well, right? Originally…”
It was definitely not tasteless.
There was no way I, who had been controlling my diet for several years, would not miss this stimulating taste.
However, perhaps because I had only eaten tender chicken breast for all those years, just one cup of ramen was spicy enough to make me short of breath.
But I couldn’t spit it out in front of that man.
… I don’t want to hear people mocking me for not being able to eat spicy food.
I force myself to chew the seasoned noodles, and then take a bite of the soft-looking hot bar.
I hoped that would calm me down a bit, but the fact that he heated it up made my tongue twice as painful instead of calming down.
In the end, when my lips swelled to twice their size, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I opened the beer next to me and took a gulp.
… As the strangely bitter taste of coffee and alcohol scent envelopes my mouth,
Strangely enough, all the pain I felt before is converted to dopamine.
“Ha… , Ha…”
“No, why is it so spicy with buldak?”
“… Doesn’t it taste spicy on that side?”
“I’m used to Haeun cooking something for me when she’s bored. Aren’t women usually crazy about spicy food?”
“I don’t know. Something like that.”
I took the beer out of my mouth and got annoyed at him, who, unlike me, was happily eating cup ramen without breaking a sweat.
… I just felt bad that they were forcing me to eat these lumps of calories.
Because the intention to somehow put alcohol in my mouth was so insidious.
“If you don’t like it, you can throw it away. Do you know the store that is open even in the early morning? There are a lot of people there and the food is delicious. “I’ll take you there.”
“… Seup, there is no need. “I’m going to eat it all.”
“Hey, eat slowly.”
… I probably should have been annoyed at him for doing that even though he knew there was no way I was going to a crowded place,
The fishy smell of alcohol left in my mouth was also messing with my head, so I didn’t even have time to do that.
Thinking that I had to eat it as quickly as possible, I stuffed the noodles into my mouth again and quickly shoved the spicy food into my mouth.
Although I felt like it was crazy ‘painful’, the sense of ‘delicious’ was mixed together and my brain was confused.
Every time the smell of alcohol left my mouth, the pain sensation became much stronger, so I had no choice but to drink alcohol again.
While eating half of the broth-less noodles with alcohol.
Even though I tried to eat as quickly as possible, it still took a while for him to finish eating.
In the end, I was able to finish one cup ramen after emptying two cans of beer.
… To be honest, I was planning to drink water in the middle.
When I tried to get up, that bastard pressed my shoulder with a smiling face so I couldn’t do it.
“Seup… , Ha. S… Ha…”
“Wake up. Let’s go home. Now.”
He threw the cup ramen container I had barely emptied into the trash can, grabbed me as I swallowed, and pulled me up.
… I wipe away the sweaty nape and forehead with the back of my hand.
Rubbing it on my chest.
“I don’t have to go to the bathroom, right? “I’m going home soon anyway.”
“… Yes.”
He put on the hat he had left off for a moment.
He even gave me sunglasses and a mask, then grabbed my slightly shaking body and dragged me out of the gym.
As soon as I went outside, the beads of sweat I had wiped off became damp again in the slightly damp summer night air,
I twisted around with my arms around him and pulled down his mask, resting it on his chin.
“Hey, can I not cover my face?”
“… It doesn’t matter.”
… It definitely wasn’t because I was drunk.
Because I was wearing a mask, the hot alcohol scent kept coming out of my mouth.
It was so stuffy that I couldn’t cover my mouth.
“Hey, how can you get drunk just because you drank two cans of beer? “Although the dark beer is a bit strong.”
“I’m not drunk.”
I tried to hit the guy who was having a hard time because he was talking nonsense about being drunk, but I couldn’t do it because his arm was being held.
Breathing through my mouth as much as possible to calm my tongue, I continue to walk somewhere, led by this irritating man.
It was definitely a different road than the way we came, but it was definitely the direction back home.
Still, I was worried that something might leak out the other way, so when I looked up at his face as he was dragging me, Kang Joo-hyuk also lowered his head and looked down at me.
“Why?”
“… Strange road, don’t leak.”
“Not really.”
I couldn’t really trust him, but anyway, I continued to walk endlessly, guided by the man who only walked the path he knew.
I walked for 2 minutes, 5 minutes, I’m not sure, but it was more than 10 minutes, and before I knew it, I was at a convenience store near the park.
… But isn’t this place closer to the gym than home?
As soon as I questioned it, he sat me down on a cheap plastic chair, took off my hat and sunglasses, and pushed my face into his ear.
“Are you in a hurry to go to the bathroom?”
“… “What?”
“Aren’t you in a hurry? … “I was wondering if I was okay after drinking two cans of beer.”
“At all… Uh… ?”
I didn’t really care, but when he pressed down on my lower abdomen, I involuntarily took a breath.
At that primitive reaction, Kang Joo-hyuk exhales with a blunt expression, grabs my wrist, and pulls me up.
“… “Aren’t you in a hurry?”
“Well, I don’t know… But… Swimming…”
Then he came back behind my back and put his hand inside my clothes.
Squeezing the abs that were bloated with alcohol,
By crushing it.
… It forcibly stimulates the urge to urinate that I didn’t even notice.
“… If you’re in a hurry, go into the convenience store over there and ask the part-timer. “Is there a bathroom?”
“Sleep… Hey, hat…”
“If you go in at night wearing a hat and sunglasses, you’ll be treated like a thief. … Just wear a mask and go in and ask. “Isn’t it strange?”
“That is…” Swimming…”
While I was being harassed by him who kept squeezing my belly fat that I couldn’t control,
I turn my head with mischievous eyes and look inside the convenience store.
… Then, there was Alba, who was fiddling with her cell phone with an annoyed expression on her face.
Our eyes meet by chance.
“Oh, wait. Stop… , That person…”
“Why?”
“I saw… Uh, yo. Mask…”
After coming to my senses for a moment, I quickly put on the mask I had placed on my chin and lowered my head.
… However, the more he tormented my abs, the more the urge to urinate did not go away.
I had to walk a few more minutes from here to get home.
Even if you can’t do it, you have to walk 5 more minutes.
It’s not that I can’t endure that much, but if I keep being harassed like this…
“… If you can bear it, you can walk home slowly.”
“…”
… Holding on is not the problem.
He.
There was no way they would let me go home calmly.
That creepy, cold voice.
… That was the proof.
