Chapter 22 – #08_Unexpected Discovery (2)
One.
Yu-chan’s cooking skills were amazing even to Naye’s eyes.
Skillfully trim the meat and sear the meat on a gas stove that has been modified with strong firepower.
Stir-fry the mushrooms you just bought with onions and grind them, then make the filling.
They surround the tenderloin and wrap it in bacon.
“Something like magic.”
Naye, who was trimming potatoes for the soup, watched Yuchan’s flamboyant hand movements with curious eyes.
Seeing vegetables and chunks of meat, which had been nothing more than simple ingredients until now, become part of a wonderful dish, there was nothing more appropriate than the word magic.
“Once you’ve peeled the skins, could you put the potatoes in the boiling water over there? Cook it thoroughly and then mash it with a spoon.”
“Yes. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“Yeah, I’m resting now. It will be over soon.”
Beef Wellington wrapped in pastry should be aged in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking.
It would have been nice to have a little more time, but I couldn’t help it because it was ambiguous to wait longer.
I’m hungry right now.
Wrapping the meat in cooking wrap, Yoo-chan put the meat in the refrigerator and quietly stood next to Naye.
“It’s very neatly trimmed.”
“Go..Thank you.”
According to Dr. Edward Hall, distance has a significant impact on human relationships.
The distance he defined as an intimate distance is between 15 cm and 45 cm.
The distance where you can feel the breath of the other person,
It is a distance where you feel uncomfortable just by the presence of other people unless you have a great deal of intimacy.
Pretending not to know from earlier, whenever I crossed that street, I was aware that Naye’s reaction was unusual.
Unbeknownst to him, the accumulated sexual desire in his body was about to come out by various triggers set up by Yoo-chan.
Of course, Naye, who doesn’t know anything about his circumstances, seems to be struggling to hide herself, but now, just getting close to her like this makes her legs weaker.
If you push it lightly, it’ll probably fall right over like a newborn deer.
Breathing a little rough
The fresh scent of her that she has been smelling every night sticks to her chest.
Naye managed to lick her lips.
“Hey, sir… It’s too close…”
There was no sense of danger in her voice.
It was because he believed that Yoo-chan was not going to do anything to him right now, although he was embarrassed by his body, which was in heat for no reason.
Rather, I was ashamed to think that I was thinking lewd thoughts in front of a teacher who had no intentions.
Even so, it is difficult to approach further.
Aren’t I thumping alone with my heart rate soaring out of control right now?
“Oh, sorry. Then tell me when you’re finished.”
Yuchan stroked Naye’s hair and finished preparing the rest of the dish.
2.
Naye, who sat across from her table, exclaimed her admiration as she saw the dishes prepared by Yu-chan.
I have never seen food that looks this delicious in any restaurant.
The taste of food is not limited to the sense of taste and smell, but also changes to how fancy the plating is, that is, to visual stimulation.
It is not for nothing that it is said that good-looking rice cakes are also good to eat.
Do not place dishes in the center of the plate.
Garnishes should always be placed in odd numbers.
Make sure the plate isn’t messy.
Based on Yoo-chan’s own philosophy, the sophisticatedly decorated plate seemed like a work of art.
“Awesome. I get delicious food every day from the teacher. Can I take a picture?”
“Then, I helped too.”
“I haven’t done much.”
Naye clapped softly, took out her cell phone without fail, and took pictures at various angles.
Well, it would be natural to want to leave a picture of the dish that I put so much effort into.
With pride of her own, Yoo-chan waited until she finished taking her picture before opening her mouth.
“So, there is a feeling that it seems to have gone around quite a bit. What do you want to say to the teacher? And that too, in close quarters where no one is around.”
“Something seems odd when you say that.”
Yu-chan, who poured her wine into the glass of her smiling Naye, lightly toasted her.
Compared to before, her expression was more relaxed, but she still wasn’t sure if it was okay to bring her up.
Her face darkened slightly after hesitating once.
“It was when my ex-boyfriend dragged me into an abandoned building.”
Yu-chan was silent.
“Then he warned me to be careful.”
“What was the situation?”
“When I… Drive myself into the wall and try to… Knead my chest… Like a whisper. Be careful, he said.”
Naye, who made her feel uncomfortable just by thinking about her, finished her words that she should have been scolding.
If she had suspected that Teacher Yu-chan was a dangerous person, she wouldn’t have followed her like this.
But this time, Naye intuitively sensed that there was something she didn’t know about, and that Yuchan was involved in it.
You probably wouldn’t have imagined that it was murder.
“I want you to know that this is not your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
“I know, this was all done by her brother. That part has been sorted out. I was wondering if the teacher could point out what those words meant at the time.”
“I have no idea whatsoever. I don’t even know what the situation was.”
Yu-chan clicked her tongue inside her.
She obediently thought she had done as instructed, but I never thought she would have done such a trivial trick.
If he had spoken a little more, he would have gotten into trouble without even noticing.
“There is something I want to ask you, sir. Is it okay if I ask you the rest?”
“Okay. Do whatever you want.”
Naye began to bring out the things she had been thinking about one by one.
The questions she hadn’t been able to tie up within her, the questions she should have kept inside.
She says, “When she said the teacher would solve my problem in the very first place. She said that among her relatives she has a lawyer, right?”
What had happened then replayed in Naye’s mind.
‘…Lawyer? What are you talking about.’
Kim Hyeon-woo, who heard Na-ye’s words, had an expression that said it was the first time she had ever heard it.
Still, he’s someone I’ve been seeing for quite some time.
At that time, Kim Hyun-woo sincerely did not understand what he meant.
And the words that followed.
‘That… Yes! Lawyers and what! Do you know what I’m afraid of…? It’s enough for me to go to a black room for a few years!’
At this time, Kim Hyeon-woo turned violent like a beast driven into a corner.
I didn’t notice it at the time when I was terrified, but as a result of recalling that memory several times, I was able to gain one realization.
At that time, Hyunwoo Kim lied.
Even though he had never heard of the lawyer from Yu-chan, he agreed as if it was a fact he knew.
“Yeah, so I thought it wouldn’t be a problem anymore. At that time, I said I was really sorry and deleted your video from my phone. I thought there was a minimum legal consciousness. It’s my negligence.”
After licking his lips as if he had no face, Yu-chan carefully sliced the medium-rare beef Wellington with a knife.
The gravy decorates the plate with the blood.
And now the teacher is lying to himself.
Why?
Naye felt a chill run down her back.
I reassured myself that I was simply amplifying my anxiety and negative thoughts because I was mentally exhausted from overthinking.
Even so, he sneakily throws the bait.
It was the bait he threw, hoping that Yoo-chan would not bite.
“That’s fortunate. Originally, I’m not the kind of person who would go over so easily. Is it very violent?”
“Okay? I spoke politely, and he accepted it quite well.”
Yu-chan agreed with her words without thinking.
“Maybe it was because I hurt my leg. Even so, the teacher had a good physique and would not have fought with a broken leg.”
“I’m not saying she would have jumped on me originally. Phew, you could have been in big trouble.”
Pretending to wipe off the sweat, Yu-chan smiled.
It seemed so normal that she felt out of place.
Was she the kind of person a teacher could be so unconcerned with lying like that?
After being threatened by Kim Hyun-woo, Naye made a separate revision and spied on his SNS.
She is a person who frets about not getting attention.
Whether it was a motorcycle accident or a fight, if she had broken her leg, she would have posted it on the Internet right away.
However, his Instagram activity, which had been uploading her daily life almost every day, stopped abruptly after the date she met Yuchan.
And until the very day he met Yoo-chan, Kim Hyun-woo’s legs were fine.
It was Yu-chan who injured Kim Hyun-woo’s leg.
It was the moment when the woman’s intuition was sharpened.
When Kim Hyeon-woo met Yoo-chan again.
He was afraid of her Yuchan.
No matter how hard I tried to hide it, Naye saw it.
He is a person who is not good at hiding his feelings in the first place.
He subdued Kim Hyun-woo with violence and keeps it a secret from himself.
‘You… Be careful…’
Kim Hyun-woo’s warning is interpreted in a different way and stuck in my heart.
Hyunwoo Kim knew.
There’s no way he didn’t know because he was the one who suffered everything.
To warn you that Yoo-chan, whom you know as your new boyfriend, is actually a dangerous person…
– Knocked up!
Feeling a burning thirst at the thought of biting her tail, Naye spilled her glass while trying to drink wine.
Redness spreads over the white tablecloth.
“I’m… Sorry.”
Naye’s shoulders trembled.
The agitation spreads over her slender shoulders.
If Hyunwoo Kim knew everything, why would he come to see him?
Why did he even threaten and call out?
Then, why did he say it as a hint rather than a clear warning?
Kim Hyeon-woo, who will give an answer to Naye’s dizzy head, committed suicide by going up to the roof of the abandoned building where he met Naye for the last time.
No.
Did he really commit suicide?
“I will wipe it.”
Naye hurriedly tried to get up from her seat.
However, Yu-chan, who quietly cut the meat without looking at the messy table, stopped.
Carefully raise your head and look straight ahead.
There was Yu-chan with an expression he had never seen before.
His mouth, which always had a relaxed smile, was expressionless as if he had taken off a mask.
His unfocused eyes seemed to be looking right through him.
I didn’t know
What is he looking at now?
I pretend to be calm and think about getting out of here.
And as she looked at her like that, what reflected in his eyes were vivid orange and yellow.
The orange color of the black box also means vitality, satisfaction, and joy, but when mixed with yellow, the meaning becomes quite simple.
Warning.
Boundary.
Danger.
“Seo… Sir? Why don’t you say anything…”
With a rattle, Yu-chan put down the tableware.
Antique silverware gently overlaps on the plate.
The sudden silence gave fear.
Naye could sense that his silence wasn’t just because he had soiled the tablecloth.
Yuchan’s expressionless face, like a wax figure, slowly changed.
Very upset and regretful feelings come out through the cracks.
Among all the emotional expressions I’ve seen from him so far.
I thought that was the only real thing.
For some reason, Naye felt eerie.
Dark emotions seem to flow like ooze through cracks in the worn-out and cracked wax.
“I’m sorry.”
“…Yes?”
Yu-chan sighed deeply, and his voice was much lower than usual and dry.
“Surely, I’m sorry.”
Yu-chan, who was tapping the table with his fingertips, jumps over the table and attacks Na-ye like a beast hunting its prey.
“Ouch!”
In one breath, I tucked Naye’s tiny head between her armpits and squeezed her airway with my lower arm while compressing her carotid artery with my biceps.
It is a guillotine choke that is placed on an opponent attempting a takedown in the UFC.
His neck was as thin as his head was small, so I wondered if the carotid artery was compressed properly.
Naye quickly stretched her body like a marionette whose strings fell off.
