Chapter 99 – Mesgaki and Stalker
I was quietly held in her arms as she hugged me without saying a word. It seemed that her body was digging in to find a warmer place according to her instincts from the warmth she felt after a long time.
Normally… No, if it was like usual, I would have pushed him away first, but now, for some reason, I wanted to feel this warmth.
‘It’s warm and cozy.’
I don’t feel like I hate it.
About 5 minutes after being hugged by Park Jae-yeon, she seemed to wake up before the police.
“!@%*(*@ Why !@$ Is like this!
Why? Are you saying I’m ugly…?”
He started muttering something in a muffled voice, as if it had just happened. At first, it sounded like noise, but as it calmed down little by little, I started to hear what they were saying.
She resented something, but uglyly put it off as not her fault, but just that her appearance was ugly.
You’ve been harassing me until now, and you’re saying I’m just looking at my appearance?
It felt disgusting and at the same time scary to try to reach the end.
“Hey, are you stupid? The problem is that you stalked me in the first place.”
Jae-yeon, who was listening next to her, seemed to be getting impatient, and interrupted the woman and told her her opinion.
Are they people who started out as fans but met different results?
Jaeyeon noona, a friendship built on the overlap of kindness and a huge amount of support. The viewer who insisted that she didn’t listen to her strange request from the beginning and that she didn’t listen to her request.
Everyone seemed to have a reason for different results.
“But I… I don’t think…!”
“No, as already shown in the broadcast from stalking, threatening itself is a felony.”
“Ah… That, that’s not…”
She seemed to be finally beginning to understand what she had done.
Seeing this, Park Jae-yeon got up first and slowly approached the woman.
After getting closer, I bent his arms behind him to stop him from doing nonsense and squeezed his back. The woman who couldn’t even run away tried to move while shaking her body, but she was in a state where she couldn’t do anything because there was a difference in strength.
“A bitch like you should go to the police station. Do you know that Korean women are cursed because of someone like you?”
“Why is that…! Can’t I just like guys?! Why can’t I!!!”
Seeing the woman screaming until the end made her feel sick to the stomach and didn’t feel very good. I just wish this situation would pass quickly.
I quietly closed my eyes and covered my ears with both hands. Jaeyeon noona is blocking it well, so it will be safe to stay like this.
Just like this… Keep going like this… I just wish the world would end.
Afterwards, as I waited with my eyes closed, I suddenly heard a screaming sound and a prick in my ear.
Wanting something, I opened my eyes and looked ahead. Two policewomen in police uniforms were handcuffing a criminal and saying something similar to what you would see in a drama.
“You have the right to remain silent, and anything you say can be used against you in court. You can appoint an attorney and have your attorney speak for you when questioned.”
“No!!! Listen up! I didn’t do it… That bastard seduced me!”
“…”
As soon as I opened my eyes again, I heard a disgusting sound. Should I cover my ears again?
“What makes people laugh is different from a male prostitute?! You bastard bastard!”
Germinating to the end is like a pig screaming at a slaughterhouse, so I tried to cover my ears. As I was quietly covering my ears with both hands, someone came next to me and covered my ears.
He had bigger hands than me, but his skin was fairer and smoother.
“Don’t listen. Don’t listen to the dirty… I’ll stop you.”
Even after that, the woman said something, but thanks to Jaeyeon noona’s hand, no sound was heard.
I just waited patiently for the police to take the woman away. He seemed to be struggling and moving around, but two sturdy police officers caught him by his side, so he was unable to do anything and was thrown into a police car.
After that, a female policewoman approached us and seemed to want to talk.
“…”
“…”
I don’t know what it was because I was still deaf, but the policewoman and Jaeyeon noona talked to each other and sent the police.
Originally, shouldn’t I go to the police station and make a statement?
When I looked at her curiously, Jaeyeon noona just smiled silently and hugged her ear.
After that, the police car carrying the stalker disappeared and only me and Jaehyun noona were left in the alleyway.
Maybe she knew she was safe now, she removed her hand from my ear and looked at me as if she was okay now.
“Are you okay?”
“…Maybe.”
To be honest, something feels very strange. I was devastated by what happened today… I wonder if the world is just scary.
“Right… Broadcast.”
I didn’t turn off the broadcast earlier and put it in my pocket, so I had to check what happened to the broadcast.
[The broadcast has ended.]
[Yang Eun-je: I was self-indulgent with the ID I gave you the other day… Please contact me if it’s okay.]
“How are you? Have you ever eaten a stop?”
“Eunjee… Ended it.”
The other day, while appointing Yang Eun-je as an editor, I lent her an account so that I could easily take clips or video sources.
I must have been self-indulgent using the ID and password I gave at that time.
Fortunately, it seemed that the broadcast would not be damaged thanks to Eun-je’s quick response.
Because it wasn’t a situation where I could show off with profanity.
“Are you okay? Can I go home?”
“Of course go…”
[Why is that…! Can’t I just like guys?! Why can’t I!!!]
He felt his legs tremble as he recalled that loathsome memory earlier. He sat down on the sidewalk and closed his eyes for a moment.
[A bastard like you is an ungrateful bastard… Not to resemble her father since he ran away.]
[How is selling laughter any different from male prostitutes!]
It feels like strange memories and auditory hallucinations are ringing in my ears. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too many bad things lately.
If a human being sees only the bad things, in the end, his mind will be shattered little by little.
It’s probably a situation where it’s almost turning into powder now because it can’t be shaved.
“Jaejoon, are you okay? Can you go home?”
Suffering from loneliness and pain, Jae-yeon noona, who kindly asked me next to me, kept stepping into my sight.
“…”
“If it’s okay with you… Would you like to go over to my house for a bit today…? You have an incident like that… And a strange person might come home after you go home.”
I’m sure I should decline… Strangely, I didn’t want to decline that offer. It’s like a bug with a bug-catching grass in front of it.
I don’t know why, but I nodded her head up and down as I reenacted her words.
There’s something scary about going home. No, it seemed that memories like earlier would keep coming back to me when I was alone.
“Then I will call a taxi. Wait a munite.”
“Huh.”
“It’s going to be cold, so I’m wearing this too.”
Park Jae-yeon seemed to call a taxi on her cell phone as she wrapped her outerwear around me.
It was large for my body, but it seemed warm and smelled good. Originally, I think I should push it away, asking what this is… I don’t know why it feels so good.
While waiting for a taxi, the most important thing came to mind.
“Nero…”
I was worried about Nero, who was alone at home. I’ll probably go home tomorrow. What about the food?
[Shin Jae-jun: Jae-hee noona… I don’t think I can go home today. Can you take care of me?]
[Choi Jae-hee: ㅇㅇ.]
As soon as I sent a text message, Choi Jae-hee immediately received it and replied.
***
Shoot it
I fell in thought for a while as I was bathed in warm water. Why am I doing this?
This isn’t my home after all.
Following her Park Jae-yeon, she came into her officetel where she lived. Obviously, I think I should keep some distance, but did they follow me all the way home?
Strange for me to say, but I guess I was a bit misogynistic. It was probably because of frequent sexual harassment and a sense of distance toward women who act like men.
The fortunate thing was that during the broadcast, it was only a little less for viewers and close friends like Eun-je, but like today’s stalker, I basically approached with a bad prejudice.
That I followed Jae-yeon to her house?
This is kinda weird No, did I inadvertently accept it because I was in such a big deal?
And why am I showering here?
After roughly showering, I wiped myself with a towel and tried to put on the clothes I had been wearing earlier.
“Where did the clothes go? Ah…”
Instead of the clothes I had been wearing, there was a loose boxy tee and men’s panties, presumably Park Jae-yeon’s clothes.
I don’t know why there are men’s panties in a house where a woman lives alone, but I wore them as they were given.
‘The pants are too big.’
I tried pulling the ends as far as I could and tying them together, but they were still loose and I had to hold them with my hands.
“Did you take a shower?”
“Ah…”
As soon as I came out of the shower, the sight I saw was something nostalgic.
Park Jae-yeon, wearing an apron, was casually preparing her meal, and the sound of the TV was playing in the living room.
The delicious-looking aroma of food stung my nose.
It was like experiencing the moment when my mom was cooking and her dad was watching TV in the living room.
