Chapter 161 – Mesgaki and Remnants of the Past
A bright morning came and I greeted the morning while drinking a cup of coffee.
I don’t know when it came up, but the sun shining brightly in the distance was so beautiful and made me feel alive.
“Furp… Ha.”
“Jaejoon, what are you doing?”
“Did you just fall into a bit of a hyeonta?”
“Then just one more game with me…”
“No!”
The attitude towards me changed in an instant, probably because I mixed up last night. Is it a feeling of being a little more sticky and losing the sense of distance?
It’s not bad to stick together like this, but I was also afraid that the sense of distance might have disappeared.
“Ah… But I’m satisfied. If I am.”
“Go home today and take birth control pills unconditionally. These days, it seems like they sell morning-after pills too, you know? Otherwise, I’ll never do anything like this in the future.”
“Huh.”
The words he just said were sincere words without the slightest lie. I wasn’t even prepared, but if I ever got pregnant, I wouldn’t have the confidence to love my child.
I would do pregnancy or marriage if I could love my family and take some responsibility.
It’s not that I hate other women, but I’m still not quite sure if I love them enough to give my all.
I know I can’t maintain a relationship like this, so I have to try.
“Oh, my back hurts… Did I move too much yesterday?”
“So I don’t like it? It was my first experience too, right?”
“…Huh.”
Jaehee’s face gets red every time I keep saying “It’s the first time”, But whenever I see this, it’s something funny. Wouldn’t it be bad to play around like this and slowly approach?
In the last week, it seemed like the distance with other girls was getting too close. It seems that the trauma has almost disappeared, but isn’t it because you treat your body too harshly?
It’s not a bad thing to repay what you’ve been thankful for in the past, but in the future, I might have to cherish my body just in case.
“Should I order a bowl of rice soup?”
“I’m fine. But where is Nero?”
Strangely, it was strange that the guy who had been visible until yesterday evening had not been seen since this morning. She looked around, worried that she might have sneaked out…
“Aww!”
“Nero, how did you get in there again?”
“Wow… Is it really made of water?”
In the gap between the refrigerator that I couldn’t even get into, I stared at me vaguely with bright eyes with only my head sticking out.
But why can’t I move?
“Take me out… Nyan.”
“Is it Nero?”
“It hurts!!!”
“Jaejun, isn’t he wearing this?”
I wondered if he was really wearing it, so when I got closer, I saw that Nero, who had a slim body, had gained weight, and was stuck in the gap and couldn’t move.
As I put my hand in the gap and tried to pull it out slowly, Nero’s body grew longer and began to come out of the gap.
Just pull a little more like this!
“Aooooong!!!”
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Wait a minute, I’m going to pick up the refrigerator…”
Oops!
When I applied force, Nero jumped out of the gap and flew backwards due to the action of the force. Fortunately, I was not seriously injured as I bumped into his buttock before flying backwards.
“He’s really… He’s covered in dust all over his body.”
Maybe it was because of his black hair, but the white dust stood out so much that he brushed it off with his hand and stroked his hair.
Yes, such a cute cat might get stuck in the refrigerator. If the original cat doesn’t cause trouble, they say that cat is a weirdo, right?
While holding Nero in her arms and shaking her, Jaehee noona was looking at her cell phone, frowning on her.
“Why is your expression rotten? Did a military warrant come again?”
“Uh~ Let’s not say such silly things. It’s not a military warrant, but the soup restaurant is busy today so it can’t deliver?”
“Then go out and come back.”
“Okay?”
Well, I wondered if it would be okay to go out for a while to go jogging at the chime.
Isn’t it better to go out and buy some groceries? I went into the room, put on some street clothes, and stood in front of Jaehee.
“Let’s go! Out!”
“I’ll have to buy some batteries on the way out too. I have to charge them outside and open the door.”
That was the moment when Jaehee Choi and I had a soup party.
***
So we arrived at a soup restaurant and ate. I’m pork soup and my sister is sundae.
“Do you know that the rice soup here is amazing?”
“It’s my first time here, so I don’t know.”
“If you mix radish radish soup here@$#@!…”
I don’t know what to say, but I didn’t want to know more about her thesis on rice soup. Well, rice soup tastes best when you eat it your own way.
With her chirping in front of her, she took a sip of water and looked around her.
It’s an old-looking restaurant, but seeing as there are a lot of aunts and uncles, it seemed like a restaurant recognized by the neighborhood.
‘Originally, the more commoners there are, the more restaurants like this.’
Food for the common people is cost-effective and delicious, so the fact that there are many people in a restaurant like this means that it is cheap and delicious.
Afterwards, I looked at the people eating deliciously for a while, and then I looked around and saw a woman staring at me, unable to take her eyes off her.
Something felt familiar yet disgusting.
‘Are you the woman who molested me in the past? Why can’t you take your eyes off me?’
I wanted to run right away and look at something and say something, but I waited quietly because I was with Jaehee noona.
It’s familiar yet disgusting, so it makes me sick to my stomach. Why? Who is that woman that makes her feel so bad?
“Okay, soup is served.”
“Sniff, oh… Looks delicious.”
“Of course. How many years have I lived in this neighborhood?”
It was hilarious to see her proudly puffing out her chest and raising her nose. Looking at it like this, she unexpectedly makes a lot of jokes and is funny.
In the past, I just thought of it as a pervert looking at my legs or body, but these days it seems to look a little different.
“Then shall we eat?”
“Huh.”
Even while I was eating a delicious meal, the lady was watching me and Jaehee until the end. Even with a sticky yet fucking eye smile.
Even though it was so awkward, I ate her delicious breakfast, and she hurriedly left her restaurant and walked down the street with her.
They look at me strangely, but should I explain?
Jae-hee, who seemed to think my behavior was strange, stood out as he walked with an awkward step. Yeah, it might be better to insure something than not knowing anything.
“Jaejun, did something happen at the soup restaurant earlier?”
“It’s just… Some lady was staring at us.”
“Auntie? No way… For now, let’s forget about this and go to the mart.”
“Huh.”
Yes, what do I care about a relationship that will pass anyway. Just forget about it neatly and live as usual.
I quickly walked forward and held Jaehee’s hand. I didn’t catch it because I was scared, I just… I caught it because my hands were shaking.
“Well, which battery should I use for the door lock?”
“Why don’t you take it slow? I’ll be buying groceries first.”
“Uh, uh, I’ll choose quickly, so don’t go too far. Then you meet a bad person?”
“Yes, yes, Mom.”
“Is mom okay too? Call me Maman…”
Before I could say anything strange, I slowly pulled the cart out and left. No, even if people change from the morning, isn’t it too different?
I wish I could act a little more self-respecting and less emotional. Well, it’s not bad for something familiar.
It was better to be friendly like this rather than awkward, so I started shopping in a good mood.
After buying the meat to eat at home, the meat, and the expensive vegetables, I grabbed a few fruits that were good to eat and put them in the cart.
‘Shopping with money given by viewers! It’s all for my body, so don’t worry~.’
The cart was filled by spending money mixed with viewers’ blood, sweat and tears.
Took.
I accidentally bumped into another person while looking at the shelf without looking ahead.
Feeling apologetic, I bowed my head first and apologized.
“I’m sorry. I was blind and bumped into you..”
“Oh, that’s okay. Humans can make mistakes.”
Sounds like a familiar voice? It’s the first time I’ve heard it, so why am I used to it?
I slowly raised my head and looked at me and the woman in the accident. There are wrinkles on her face for some age, and her eyes are only looking down at me.
‘It’s the lady I saw at the soup restaurant earlier. Is that person also here to buy groceries?’
Do you think it’s destiny when coincidences happen in a row? If this is my fate, I want to kick it.
I quietly passed her as I slowly lowered her head. The familiar scent made me feel sick for a moment, but it passed quietly.
“Jaejun…”
“Huh?”
I turned around at the voice calling me, but there was no one behind me. Did I hear wrong? I could definitely hear a voice calling me.
“Jaejun!!! I bought all the batteries!”
“I’ll be leaving soon, so wait!”
Whatever it is, everything is fine, so I just want to live like this.
Because it won’t get any worse than this.
