Chapter 131 – Episode 131. Ep.47 (Side Story) at the Gosiwon, Alone (1)
“So… “Can you stay with Eunjeong for a week?”
Those were my mother’s words.
The house had a water leak.
It is said that there was no problem at Juhee’s house, but the house below was in chaos.
A person came from the electrical room of the apartment to check, but since there was nothing visible to the naked eye, they said they would have to call a contractor to do the work.
He said that if you find out where the water is leaking quickly, the work will be completed quickly, but if you are unlucky, it could take more than a week.
Because the kitchen floor had to be exposed, it became difficult to stay at home until work was finished.
My parents said they would stay at a nearby motel and come and go back and forth.
Since he couldn’t let Joo-hee stay at the motel, he told him to ask his best friend, Eun-jeong.
One week. I now have time to spend somewhere other than home.
She did her trick.
I wanted to do whatever I wanted.
She recalled a time recently when she was in the alley next to the gosiwon on the street at night.
What would it be like to live there…
From that day on, I had several delusions of living in a gosiwon where only men lived.
It was a good opportunity to put it into action.
So I immediately searched for goshiwons not far away.
‘It says there are separate floors for men and women, but when I went there and asked, I was told that the second floor was for men and the third floor was for men and women. Women, it’s a waste of time, so look elsewhere.’
There was a comment like that.
Coincidentally, it was the gosiwon that Juhee saw the other day.
She decided to live there for a week while she was away.
If you ask Eun-jeong, she will somehow match your words.
***
Starting today, this is my room.
Joohee came to the goshiwon with only one suitcase.
She told her parents that she would be staying at Eun-jeong’s house, and Eun-jeong complied with her words.
Eun-jeong knew that Joo-hee was trying to stay at the gosiwon with impure intentions, but she wasn’t too worried.
Since it was shared by both men and women, they probably thought that other women lived on the same floor.
Only Juhee knew the true nature of this gosiwon.
In the past, the 2nd floor was a men’s floor and the 3rd floor was a women’s floor, but since all the women left, the 3rd floor was also said to be unisex, but only men lived.
The kind owner, an old man, explained the situation and asked several times if it was really okay since there were only men.
She succeeded in getting a room for herself, saying that if she couldn’t find a room here, she might have to live on the streets.
It was a bit of a waste to pay a month’s rent and only live there for a week, but it seemed like there would be a lot of fun and thrilling events.
There is no toilet or shower…
She looked around the room, seeing it with her own eyes for the first time.
It felt narrower than it looked in the picture.
The room she chose was one of the cheapest rooms with no private bathroom or shower.
If you wanted to wash, you had to go to the public shower room at the end of the hallway.
It was originally a women’s floor, and now it is only for men, so of course there was only one public shower room.
If you didn’t want to be a beggar, you had to shower with the men.
Just thinking about it made her heart pound.
Let’s unpack first…
***
Joohee unpacked the luggage in her suitcase.
Even though it was mostly clothes and cosmetics, it took a long time and was difficult.
I want to wash…
After finishing packing up and feeling sweaty, she decided to use the public shower room.
I took the laundry basket, put on indoor slippers, and headed out the door.
“Uh… ?”
“Ah… Hello.”
As soon as I left the room, I ran into a man passing by in the hallway.
It was a young man who appeared to be in his late twenties.
Since we were neighbors on the same floor, we smiled and said hello, albeit awkwardly.
He looked Juhi up and down with a puzzled expression.
White short-sleeved T-shirt and short dolphin pants.
Even though it wasn’t a particularly bold outfit, I was glad to see it.
“Do you live here?”
The man asked, even though it seemed obvious since he was holding a washing basket.
“Yes. “I moved in today.”
“…”
After hearing the answer, the man tilted his head, bowed slightly, and walked past Joo-hee.
She smiled and greeted me warmly, but the response was sour that she felt sad inside.
However, I thought it might be because I was surprised that a woman suddenly appeared in a place where only men lived.
She also moved on her feet again and headed to her shower room.
Let’s go to the bathroom first.
Across from the shower room was the bathroom.
I passed the public washing machine and entered the bathroom.
I checked to see if anyone was there before coming in.
It was awkward to see men’s urinals in the bathroom.
The 3rd floor was originally supposed to be a women’s floor, but now that men live there, maybe a urinal was installed?
I liked that the bathroom was cleaner than I expected.
The friendly owner, the old man, seemed to have a neat personality.
I’m going to take a shower now…
You never know when the men will come in.
After coming out of the bathroom, she finally faced the shower room.
There was a shelf next to the entrance where you could take off your clothes.
Even when I went to the bathroom, I could see all the clothes I had taken off.
Since it was just men, they didn’t seem to care about that.
Inside, there were several sinks lined up in a row.
Further inside, an opaque glass wall was erected and a shower curtain was hanging down.
It seemed like the inside was a shower space.
Someone was using the washroom, and if you wanted to take a shower, you had to take off your clothes and go into the shower room naked.
Just thinking about it made me dizzy.
My cheeks are already red.
You have to take off your clothes first…
It started with taking off my clothes.
The shelf for clothes was located in the hallway outside the shower room.
It’s curved at the end of the hallway, so you can’t see it when you’re just passing through the hallway, but if someone goes to the bathroom, you can’t help but see it.
She quickly took off her clothes and became naked.
Her hair was tied up behind her because she wasn’t going to wash it.
White t-shirt, shorts, panties.
She folded it neatly and placed it on her shelf.
I put my slippers on the lowest shelf and changed to bathroom slippers.
It was a bit uncomfortable to have a shelf shared by several people, but I was going to wash the clothes I took off anyway, and I had already decided to compromise on that while staying at the gosiwon.
After enjoying the feeling of being naked in her hallway for a while, I went inside with her toiletry basket.
As she walked through the washroom and thought that men had used this place countless times and would continue to do so, her whole body trembled with strange tension.
Then she pulled back the shower curtain and came into the shower.
I’m going to wash here for a week…
The shower room was narrower than I thought.
And there were only a few showers hanging along the wall.
The public bathhouse was empty, without even a glass partition between the showers.
The only advantage was that it was still very clean.
From now on, she has to wash here with the men.
Whoa…
When I saw her in front of me, it seemed like she had done something truly incredible.
As such, she would feel incredibly happy.
Shoot.
She took a seat in front of the shower and turned on the water.
There was no place to put the washing basket, so it had to be left on the floor.
I feel good.
She was bathing in warm water and washing off the body shampoo.
However, there was a buzz outside.
Who came…
Footsteps rang out slowly.
Because there was a shower curtain, it was hard to see the washroom outside the shower room.
If she just came to use the sink, she wouldn’t come in here and would leave right away, but if, like her, she came to take a shower during the day…
“When cleaning now… What!”
“Kyaaa-“
The shower curtain swung open, and a man appeared.
Juhee reflexively covered herself.
The man wearing glasses quickly closed the shower curtain and stepped away.
She felt momentarily ecstatic at showing her naked body, even if just for a moment.
Then I went to the shower curtain and stuck my head out.
I saw a man standing in the washroom with a puzzled face.
“What is it?”
“I’m sorry for surprising you…”
Then, looking at the surprised man, he offered an apology.
He was dressed, as if he hadn’t come in to wash.
But then why did you open the shower stall?
“Do you live here?”
“Yes… “I moved in today.”
Joo-hee covered herself with a shower curtain, exposed only her face, and said with a smile.
“That’s strange. “I didn’t hear anything.”
The man showed a similar reaction to the one he encountered in the hallway earlier.
It seemed like it was incomprehensible for a woman to come and live here.
“But you didn’t come to wash…” … ?”
Joo-hee trailed off as she asked the man.
Not only was the man dressed properly, but he was also holding a cleaning tool.
No matter how you look at it, it definitely didn’t look like he came to wash.
“I am the general manager on the 3rd floor, and today is the day I clean the shower room.”
Come to think of it, I think I heard from the owner’s grandfather that the shower room would be cleaned during the day on Monday.
Time was also there somewhere, but I had completely forgotten about it.
“Sorry. I came here for the first time today and didn’t know much…”
“Well, that could be true. Does it take long? There aren’t many people during the day anyway, so it’s okay to stay for a while.”
“Oh, no! You have to work, but I’m sorry for disturbing you. “I’ll be out soon.”
“Are you okay. You can take it slowly.”
“No. If the people who were originally there were uncomfortable because of me, I would be even more uncomfortable… Since I’ve done everything, I’ll finish it quickly and leave.”
I said this because I didn’t want to cause trouble, but it was also true.
Joohee went back into the shower room.
I picked up the shower head, which was still running water, and rinsed myself one last time.
Then, I quickly wiped the moisture with the towel I had left in the bathroom sink.
I have to go out like this. Naked…
You’ll be waiting outside, right?
Should I at least pretend to cover it up just in case?
Since I saw a woman washing inside, it seemed like the man named General Manager was waiting outside the shower room.
But I thought it would be better to at least pretend to be embarrassed and cover my body, just in case.
She may have already seemed like a bit of an unusual woman, but she would look even stranger if she didn’t feel embarrassed when she bumped into a man in the shower.
She covered her breasts with her hand holding her towel and covered her nether regions with her hand holding the washing basket.
With that, she pulled back the shower curtain with her arm and came out.
The man was waiting at the shelf in front of the shower room entrance.
Out of consideration for her naked body, he turned his back and looked towards her hallway.
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Joo-hee apologized to the man’s back and then went to the front where her clothes were placed.
“Did you know that this place is literally unisex, but only men are there?”
The man still turned around and spoke to Joohee.
“Yes, yes. I heard everything from the boss. But I have nowhere else to go but here. They originally said it wouldn’t work, but due to circumstances, I finally got in…”
Joohee also added a shy laugh at the end of her words.
She played the role of a poor and poor girl, just like her grandfather.
“Because I am the general secretary… There’s nothing special about being a general manager, I just do some cleaning. If you still need anything, please let me know. “This is room number 1.”
“Thank you so much. It was a nuisance from day one…”
“No. “There’s no one here right now, so get dressed and go in.”
I wondered what kind of people would live in the goshiwon, but this man, the general manager, seemed like a very nice person.
Now that I see it, the position where she was turned was enough to cover her if someone tried to go to the bathroom.
Of course, that was unnecessary consideration for Joohee, who is addicted to exposure.
Now I have to get dressed quickly…
Huh?!
Her heart sank as she looked at the shelf where she kept her clothes.
White t-shirt, shorts, panties.
The same clothes I wore earlier.
Only then did she realize that she hadn’t packed a change of clothes.
