Chapter 269 – 269. Obsession (4)
Boom.
As soon as the sound of the front door closing disappeared from my ears, an eerily quiet living room greeted me.
All the lights are off, and the door to the room where she is probably staying is closed tightly.
On my way home from work, I contacted them to ask for the SD card back, but they didn’t confirm, so I came here. Why was the atmosphere at home so gloomy?
Hinami said she’s taking a break because something happened to her agency. Is it related to this?
However, no matter how much Hina Mira had told me if there was something wrong with Seo Ji-ah, she would have said that if I rested for a few more days, I don’t think she would have said that she would secretly go out to play.
I cross the slightly nervous, dreary living room, grab the handle of the tightly closed door, and turn it.
“… Ah.”
Put earphones in your ears.
Seo Ji-ah, holding her bangs and looking intently at her monitor, caught her eye.
… Fortunately, the video on the screen was nothing strange at all, it was just a vlog filmed in Japan.
Of course, my sister-in-law was so shocked that she turned off the video.
“Why don’t you answer when I call?”
“Liaison… ?”
“Have you moved the video separately yet? “I came to get my SD card back.”
“Ah…”
It was strangely cute to see her acting like she had forgotten how to talk, but she didn’t have enough time to hang out with her.
I thought there must be something going on, but I was about to make a rough guess and move on.
“What is it?”
“… “Wait a minute.”
“Wait a minute, what?”
“Wait for a sec… Please wait.”
She held my wrist like last time.
She let out a long breath and stopped me with a trembling voice.
With an expression like a puppy anxious about being abandoned by its owner.
“What is it? “I have to go down and have dinner.”
“But wait a minute…”
“It’s because I need something.”
“…”
It was very uncharacteristic of Seo Ji-ah to see her not say anything about what she wanted and just try to ask her to wait.
Frankly speaking, to her dismay, I got to eye level with her and grabbed her mouse and dragged all of her video files in her folder onto the desktop.
“… I’ll wait while I move this. If you have anything to say, tell me.”
“…”
The images were quickly moved one by one, and Seo Ji-ah, who was staring at them, licked her lips and hesitated.
I didn’t know what the problem was that he was doing this to me, but the relationship was already too deep for me to just ignore it.
Let’s kindly ask my sister-in-law why she is so obsessed with the brother-in-law she hates.
“Same group sister… Go. Drug… No. That older sister and her boyfriend did drugs… I guess I got caught doing it.”
“That’s me and…, Hmm. So.”
She told a really strange story and chose her words carefully.
“If I get investigated, maybe. That sister’s name will also appear in the article. … “I’m scared because I think I could end up in a similar situation.”
“… “Then shouldn’t I leave right away?”
“…”
I was biting my lip after hearing my answer that was so absurd.
I put down my wrist that was holding me and lowered my head.
… I got up from the chair and ran away under the blanket.
“… “What is it?”
“…”
I was very annoyed that she didn’t reveal her true feelings, as if she was frustrated.
All videos had already been moved to the desktop.
I removed the SD card and put it in my pocket.
I looked down for a moment at Seo Ji-ah buried under the blanket.
I just left the room.
… For now.
Because eating dinner with Haeun was my priority.
**
… He came as I had hoped.
I put her cell phone on silent mode, so I didn’t even notice the call.
Anyway, he came.
I couldn’t say anything.
Because even I don’t know what I want.
I didn’t want to ask for a hug even when I woke up.
I didn’t even want to be hugged.
Just what I wanted.
“… Ha.”
… I wanted to empathize.
Even if that person is the one who made things difficult for me.
I wanted to hear empty words that nothing bad would happen.
But I couldn’t ask you to say that.
That’s because he’s a man who rejoices the more I fall apart.
When I saw a woman who was afraid of falling down the cliff.
This is a man who gets very excited and pushes a woman, grabbing her wrist and giggling whenever she loses her balance.
I didn’t even expect to hear kind words from him.
In fact.
It’s not that I wanted to hear kind words.
After being buried in the blanket for a while and exhaling, he opens his face and the cool air tickles his cheeks.
What I wanted was exactly this kind of air.
I wanted to hear him sarcastically say that it doesn’t matter how the public views me, in the cynical and selfish tone he always speaks of.
There is no law that says an idol can’t have sex, and there’s no reason a sister-in-law can’t overlap her body with her brother-in-law.
I wanted to hear something that undermined my common sense while spewing out nonsensical sophistry.
That’s right, when a completely crazy person was next to me, I felt relatively sane.
Throwing all my faults and mistakes at him or her other woman.
Because I could have remained a pitiful child.
But in a room left alone like this.
I had to bear all the mistakes I had made all by myself.
I haven’t even been caught yet.
It’s not me who might get caught, it’s just my fellow members.
Why do I have to struggle so much?
Was falling off a cliff this scary?
Clearly,
When he pushed me off the cliff again and again, I wasn’t this scared.
“…”
As he breathed in the cool air, he remembered that he hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast this morning.
It may not be as good as downstairs, but I drag myself out of bed and search the refrigerator to make my own dinner.
All food is healthy and good for the body.
At least a can of beer stuck in the corner of the refrigerator was showing off its defects.
Anyway, if the eldest member of the group was caught for drugs, I wouldn’t be able to do anything, including activities.
At the moment I was thinking about just ordering delivery and quitting management.
Tiriri.
“…”
“Have you eaten dinner yet?”
… Did I just brush my teeth?
He, with a fresh mint scent, came through the front door and walked next to me.
In the same clothes.
With just a suitcase in hand.
“Why… “It came.”
“I forgot one when I handed over the video.”
He left the suitcase he brought with him at the entrance, passed by the living room, and handed the SD card back into my hand.
He grabs my shoulder, leans down and puts his lips to my ear.
“… “Don’t hand this over to the company.”
“…”
Whispering softly.
He hinted at the contents of the small chip.
“And, I talked to your friend too. They said don’t worry too much. They say your company is strong, so it doesn’t get much press if you say it. “I don’t know if we really took drugs together, but it wouldn’t be a problem if we were lovers, right?”
“… “I know.”
“When I think about it that way, the place where there was a scandal last time is really amazing. “How dare you do that without any evidence?”
“I guess so.”
“Anyway, don’t be too depressed. … Oh, that’s right.”
He suddenly changed his mood and started chatting in a gruff tone that matched his appearance.
I trudged over again, brought the suitcase that I had left at the entrance, and put it down in the living room.
Click, click, unlock it.
“When I came back from Japan, your luggage got mixed up with ours. … Take it. Because this is yours.”
“…”
He opened the suitcase and showed me the clothes it was filled with.
After rummaging through it, I held something pure white in my hand.
“This too. … “I gave it to you as a gift last time, so it would be a shame to throw it away.”
“…”
He put it around my neck.
Tick, tick, pull a few times.
After touching the collarbone and smiling with satisfaction.
“Anyway, I’m going to go down and rest too. Have a nice dinner. Don’t be too scared just because a fellow member has a problem. … That person is the proof right now, right? “As long as I don’t use drugs, I won’t get caught.”
“… I see.”
“Then see you tomorrow. “I’ll come back to get the SD card back.”
“…”
Once again.
After leaving me with the leash hanging.
After throwing away the suitcase full of all kinds of sexy clothes.
I was heading to where her sister was.
“… “Why?”
“… “Wait a minute.”
Once again.
I held on to his wrist.
“What else? … “Is it because you have a lot to say to me?”
“… “Don’t go.”
“I have to watch TV with Ha-eun.”
“Don’t go… Very nice.”
Ugly.
Pathetic.
Clinging to him.
“… Ha-eun said that last time. “Don’t use me without any thought or emotion.”
“Because it’s not like that…”
“Then what is it?”
I waved my hand at him as if he was annoyed and tried to run away.
Whisk.
… Kneel down.
Putting my forehead on the ground.
“… “I’m scared, so please stay next to me.”
“… “What?”
“Brother… Except, everything…”
The day I already fell off the cliff.
To the only man who can hold me.
Politely.
I begged him to hold my leash.
At least when he rattles my leash.
I’m Seo Ji-Ai, an idol who doesn’t have to be afraid of anyone,
… Because she was just a woman.
