Chapter 154 – After the First Experience
The more you dry wet clothes with a hair dryer, the more you imagine something strange.
‘Men’s underwear…Are they a bit loose in the middle?’
Almost for the first time in my life, men’s panties looked completely different from their own panties, which were made to cling completely to the crotch.
Seeing the blood on his white tee and pants, he thought he would have to wash them once, but he had no clothes to give him today, so he had to dry them roughly.
“Hey, hey? I’m all washed. Could you give me some clothes?”
“Yeah!”
After observing the panties carefully, I was surprised and gave a strange answer. He was uncharacteristically nervous.
‘First time a man came to my house, first time a man in my shower…!’
It was the first time for everything, so it seemed to drive me crazy. I was brought here as a kind favor, but should I say that the situation is bizarre?
I realized that just the fact that a man was washing at his house could be so erotic.
I sat still and waited, and soon after, a man came out slowly, brushing his hair with a towel after taking a shower.
“Thank you. Is it okay if I use a hair dryer?”
“Sure.”
Naturally, he sat down on my makeup stand, looked around, found a white hair dryer, and immediately dried his hair.
I brushed off my short hair first, so I focused on using my hands differently from women.
Women with long hair like you dry your hair gently so it doesn’t get tangled, then let it go faster, but men don’t seem to have that.
Gently brush off the water and dry it quickly with your fingers. And when it’s dry to some extent, use a comb to straighten your hair forward.
“Well written.”
It was as if an angel had come down to see me smiling and greeting me. Even though it is the same shampoo with a dry appearance, it has a body odor that I don’t normally feel.
After drying his body, he quietly leaned against the wall and sat with his head down.
Worried that his posture might be uncomfortable, I approached him and handed him his pillow.
“Thank you…”
He hugged the pillow I gave him and rubbed his face as if he was comfortable.
‘Wait a minute, isn’t that the pillow I sleep on?’
It felt strange to think of the pillow that I always hugged like a doll before going to bed.
Still, he came to his senses again and said. What the hell happened, and if you’ll excuse me, what’s your name?
“Eh, what’s your name?”
“Yeah, I was wondering if I could ask?”
When you first meet someone, the first thing you introduce is your name. Because the name is also a noun that refers to that person, and just knowing the name increases the interest in each other.
So I looked at him with hard eyes.
“Shin Jae-joon… I don’t know what that means, so please call me Jae-joon.”
“Yeah, Jaejoon. Just call me Jaehee or Jaehee noona.”
As if he understood, he nodded his head and closed his eyes tightly.
It seemed that he was greedy for his cute appearance and proportionate behavior. Wouldn’t the help now become snowballing later and the relationship could deepen?
At least I know the face, so wouldn’t an opportunity come later? Thoughts like this occurred frequently and seemed to give instructions to get closer to me.
Unbeknownst to him, he slowly moved aside.
“Has anything happened?”
“Uh, that’s…”
“Is it something you can’t talk about? Then you don’t have to tell me. But it’s because I can’t help you if you don’t tell me.”
The first rule of negotiation is to think about what the other person could gain before offering something to the other person.
I learned that negotiation is a negotiation that cannot be concluded if one side unconditionally benefits. That’s why I learned that negotiation is when you clearly understand what the other party wants, listen to it, and take care of your own interests.
Of course, seeing her shivering in the rain earlier made me feel sorry for her.
“Actually…”
‘As expected.’
The appearance of running away without shoes and the traces of abuse engraved on the body.
Looking at these two things, I made several hypotheses, and one of the imaginations I thought of was the correct answer. Violence in the home.
It was child abuse and domestic violence.
When I heard the story, after the kind mother disappeared because it was her father, she suddenly changed and she tried to attack herself who looked like that man or hated it, so she was trash that even committed violence.
She, the same woman, seemed like she would be sick of the disgusting act even if she heard it, but she didn’t say anything and she just hugged him tightly.
“Thank you.”
It was the moment when she felt ashamed of herself.
Even though I clearly expected it roughly, why did I have such a dog-like thought? And he couldn’t say anything because it was more serious than the scenario he had thought of.
There were few things I could do to help with domestic violence or abuse.
Just follow him to the police station or become a temporary guardian and take care of him for a while.
Reporting, of course, was not something I could do, so this child had to endure alone. She reports her mother, who raised her, to the police.
It seems like a very difficult but pitiful choice.
“By any chance… If you have nowhere else to go, how about living in a spare room until you become an adult?”
“Yes?”
“My father is the owner of this villa, but I take care of most of it and get paid for it? Among the remaining houses, there is a room that is a bit shabby and the rent is low, and you won’t pay rent there until you grow up.”
If you have problems with your biological parents, it will be difficult for you to go to your relative’s house. As the father disappeared, of course, the mother’s side would have lost contact, and the parent’s side might try to bury it in connection with the mother.
It must be a moment of dilemma with literally no place to go.
A body that, of course, cannot make a formal contract unless you are an adult. If she’s a motherfucking bitch, she might still be looking for it.
“Uh, why are you doing me this kind of favor? It’s the first time I’ve seen you today… And again to a guy like me like this.”
Honestly, even if I were in his shoes, I think I would have had a lot of questions. Suddenly, the first person you meet doesn’t help, or gives up the benefits you will get and pays the rent to yourself.
It was a situation where I could stop being surprised and suspicious at the appearance like a tiger.
Like a sweet girl, she put a cigarette in her mouth and said.
“It just reminded me of the old days. I had a hard time too.”
My parents, Mrs. Ahn Yeon-hee, and her father, Mr. Park Ji-hoon, are still a couple of lovebirds who are very good at drinking.
“Is it old?”
“I had a lot of hard times too.”
The memories I made in my second year of middle school still haunted me.
Even if I think about it, I might end up falling in love with his charismatic appearance.
Jaejoon, who was listening to my words, slowly began to cover his eyes with his hands as tears gradually filled his eyes.
“Don’t cry~ Huh? Why are you crying, everything will be fine now.”
“Oh, no, that’s not it… I’m so grateful.”
Maybe it was because my emotions were running high, but in a trembling voice, the words that I shed tears because I was grateful seemed to tighten my heart.
“Then you can pay it back later when you become an adult.”
After that, Jaejun, who had only shed her tears, held her in her arms and accepted her tears.
***
“Hey, I want to smoke.”
I heard that a woman’s sigh is a cigarette… Wait a minute, I’m sure you said this a few years ago?
Seeing Jaejoon just enter her room, she kept coming back to her memories of her old days, and it felt like something in her heart was tightening.
It seems like just yesterday that she gave me that room and kept it until she became an adult, but now she is living her life while broadcasting alone, and I like it because she looks so cool.
‘Didn’t I just confess first?’
Lately, seeing the relationship between him and the women around her, she felt that she was in danger if she didn’t push herself.
She was the one who helped Jaejun the most, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t be seen as a woman because I’d seen her for so long.
There is no chance of winning if it goes on like this. She somehow got her way so she had to get his attention.
“If there was such a thing, I would have moved first.”
In the first place, I, who was satisfied with just watching him from the side, couldn’t think of what to do if I suddenly dashed forward.
I think it was better when I just didn’t broadcast and depended on me.
“Jaehee sister!”
“Hmm?”
As I sighed and sat forlornly, I heard a familiar yet favorite voice from the other side.
“I think the light went out today. Can you fix it?”
“Yeah! Don’t touch that, just share it, I’ll go and fix it right away!”
It was so cute that he asked me for help, and a smile bloomed on his face. Don’t be impatient and go slowly.
Because I don’t want to hurt myself by going too fast.
And I have to tell you about the cctv installation in the past… Of course I installed it for him, but I think it’s time to tell it again because I seem to have forgotten it now.
I threw the lighter in my pocket onto the bed in the house, quickly grabbed a light and gloves, and headed to his house.
Love you.
