Chapter 26 – 026. Debt Assumption (1)
Morning.
In addition to the muscle pain all over my body, a hangover is tormenting my head.
Ugh, I open my eyes with difficulty with a groaning sound.
Dressed naked and wearing only panties.
The nightmare-like memories of yesterday come back again.
“…”
Fortunately or unfortunately, there is no Kang Joo-hyuk next to me.
But his body odor and warmth clearly remain on the bed.
I got caught messing with his cell phone and got into a lot of foul language,
I also remember washing together in the bathtub.
… And when did you fall asleep?
I think I dozed off in the water because I was so tired…
“Ah, first of all, that bastard…”
I wish it was all a dream, but the hangover and pain are all I can tell that it can’t be.
Fortunately, I slept with my panties on, so I don’t think I did anything strange after that.
The chest… I can’t help it.
First, I pick up a bra and a t-shirt from the closet and put on some pants.
I tried to wear dolphin pants like usual, but since that bastard would definitely be in the living room, I changed to long pants.
In the bathroom, I just remove the mucus from my eyes, tie my hair long, and leave the room.
“Ah, Ha-eun. Are you awake?”
“Hi…”
As soon as I open the door, Kang Joo-hyuk comes out and my heart starts pounding.
He is seen without a T-shirt and wearing only the panties he bought yesterday.
After saying good morning to the exhibitionist pervert, my mood sinks to the floor.
“Why are you so surprised? Come out and eat.
“… Rice? Something to eat at home…”
“I ordered it. “It’s lunch already.”
Surprised when he said it was already lunch, I searched my pockets, but of course there was no cell phone in the clothes I had just changed into.
I go back to the bedroom and try to find it, but I can’t resist the smell of coffee and bread tickling my nose, so I follow him without thinking.
When I walked to the kitchen, the mozzarella tomato panini I often ate was on the table along with the coffee I ordered.
“… How did you do this…?”
“Don’t women usually like things like this? “You’re crazy about cheese and bread.”
I answered without hesitation as if it was obvious, but I didn’t believe it at all because it came from Kang Joo-hyuk’s tongue his.
… I eat this most often after Subway.
No matter how I knew it was a store, the way they even put together a menu is strange no matter how I look at it.
“Did you, by any chance, look through the trash can… ?”
“Why are you looking through that? “I want to use it somewhere.”
“…”
I sit on a chair at the dining table with unresolved doubts in my heart.
If it weren’t for what that man told me to do, I wouldn’t have thought much about it, so why am I so anxious?
Kang Joo-hyuk knows me too well to say that I got it just because I was lucky.
… As if I had seen it somewhere.
“Hey, wait a minute. Wash your hands…”
“Yes.”
I can’t shake off this anxious feeling, so I pretend to go to the bathroom and leave.
Go out of the living room and into the hallway.
From the hallway to the bedroom.
Without even having to rummage through the bed in the bedroom, I looked at the light next to his bed and saw that there was a cell phone lying there.
“Ha…”
… Thanks goodness.
At that moment, I felt like I was dying of anxiety, wondering if that man had done the same thing as me.
Because a woman’s cell phone is full of private information that can never be shown to others.
Of course, it’s not at the level of the voice file recorded by that man.
“… ?”
The moment I touched her chest and was about to turn on her cell phone, I suddenly had a doubt.
… Did I originally leave this here?
I think I put it in my pocket before going to bed, but I don’t remember much after that.
Before stealing Kang Joo-hyuk’s cell phone, I took it out for a moment to check the time, and I think I put it somewhere…
“Ah…”
… That anxious feeling became reality as soon as I turned on my phone.
It was the same home screen as usual,
Because the background picture was me and Kang Joo-hyuk lying in bed covered with a blanket.
And naked.
Although I can’t see my breasts,
Even the collarbone is naked.
“That bastard… !”
I recall the anger I almost forgot for a moment and run to the kitchen.
This has crossed the line without any excuse!
How shameless is this while others sleep… !
“Kang Joo-hyuk!”
“Oh, did you see it, Ha-eun?”
I couldn’t calm down, so I screamed and approached Kang Joo-hyuk, but he ignored my words as he ate his brunch with a calm and shameless face.
“You’re really going to report it… !”
“Why? I was just following you. Then, am I reporting you too?”
“I just erased it! But you, what is this… !”
“How can I believe that?”
And then he suddenly lowered his voice,
He stood up and looked down at me with scary eyes.
… Feeling intimidated by his body without a single cloth on,
I tried to take a step back, but my hips were grabbed and I couldn’t run away.
“How can I believe that you just deleted the recording? “I may have been looking into other people’s private lives and trying to find their weaknesses.”
“You… !”
“Then it wouldn’t be fair, so I just looked into your personal life. “I didn’t pretend like I didn’t know like you, and I was kind enough to leave a photo to prove that I saw it. What’s the complaint?”
“…”
I couldn’t look into his eyes as he told me a story that didn’t make any sense and said that he truly did something for granted.
So confident and powerful.
A look in his eyes filled with confidence that he could crush me with just one move of his hand.
… The expression that boasts that he has taken control of all my weaknesses.
“… Anyway, don’t lose your temper in the morning, sit down and eat first. “I drink coffee because I paid for it.”
“…”
“You like to order food. “I don’t have much money.”
His voice, as he pinpointed my weak points and gently healed me, felt like the whispers of the devil.
If you’re so angry that I don’t have money to live in such a luxurious house, how far have you searched?
Instagram?
Passbook?
… Maybe even KakaoTalk?
“Don’t be so stiff. I need to eat and digest quickly, then go to the gym later. “It’s already late, Ha-eun.”
“… “What, what?”
“Aren’t you going to the gym? Ah, the child became lazy after having sex once. If you’re not feeling well, would you like to take a day off? “I know how to massage.”
“Hey, Kang Joo-hyuk, what are you talking about… ?”
“What are you talking about? … “They say they will pay poor Ha-eun back some money.”
“…”
To my dismay, my ominous premonition came true once again.
… This man clearly stole all of my private life.
Even though he took advantage of me while I was sleeping and looked through my bank account, he has no way of finding out what I owe.
“Hey, but you’ve been working at the club for a few years. “Are you living in debt to your younger brother?”
Because I owe it to my younger brother.
“… “If I ask you for 500,000 a month to buy this house, won’t you come in?”
“I can buy it even if you give me 200. … “How much is the deposit?”
“… “Why are you asking if you know?”
… 12 million won.
Realistic money, neither too little nor too much.
A debt that must be repaid someday.
I don’t know when that will be.
“Shouldn’t you have saved 20 million like that? What did you do, borrow money from the landlord and move in…”
“Oh, shut up!”
At first, I wondered why her younger brother was worried about her older sister.
I had a huge fight with my dad, and when they told me they were offering a room for me with a deposit of 2,000 and monthly rent of 50, I thought I was crazy.
I didn’t understand why they bought a house, one on each floor, and then gave me a room.
“Aren’t you the one who needs to shut up? I saw that my younger brother was scratching you so much. “Do something.”
“I don’t care with you, it’s a dog. !”
For the first time, I felt grateful to my younger brother, and when I moved into this house, I only had 5 million won in debt.
Rather than borrowing it, the money was reduced by her younger brother because the deposit wasn’t enough.
I would somehow earn about 50 a month, so I had no worries at that time.
Moreover, they even gave me a card to use if I didn’t have enough money for living expenses.
However, no matter how sparingly she spent her money, her debt continued to increase as she had no money coming in.
It was a big mistake to install a soundproof room because my younger brother was increasingly treating me poorly.
… Adding that to the guitar made it extremely expensive.
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter. It’s just like that. “I thought you lived very well, but I didn’t know you lived poorer than me.”
“…”
I couldn’t say anything back to Kang Joo-hyuk, who was laughing at me like that.
… That’s why I couldn’t refuse outright even though this man had been pestering me so much.
Out of all the men I knew, he was the most conversant.
I have no intention of denying that I had a snobbish wish that I might be able to get a meal once in a while.
I’ve never lived like that in my life, but how can people become like that because they’re tight on money?
Besides, you said you have a girlfriend.
Surprisingly, it looked fine.
It seemed much safer than that trainer who ignored me even when I got annoyed because he wanted to sleep with me.
Even though I was blind.
“Oh, and you said you don’t even use Instagram. Did you do well?”
“Hey, you crazy… !”
“I looked around and couldn’t find it, so I did something, but I only hung out with my friends. … He’s also good at talking behind his back. Hey, how could I let my younger brother rent a house like this for half free…”
“That’s because you haven’t experienced him before…” ” !”
I was such an idiot for trying to get a meal from a man who was searching through my private parts.
… I resent myself in the past when a man who said things like that without even knowing him seemed fine.
A few years ago,
He is a man who only causes harm to my life.
Why did I get deceived by a man like this…
“I want to experience it, can you help me?”
“… “What?”
“I don’t have a job, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have 1200.”
“…”
Am I going to trick you again?
… I know that if I nod to the devil’s whispers, my soul will be stolen.
That man doesn’t give me favors without compensation.
Why.
“I told you earlier that this house would be worth buying even if you paid 200. … Do you want to take it?”
“…”
“I’m not saying you should leave. … As I promised, I will never touch you first, how about that?”
If I don’t nod, does it feel like something more terrible than my soul will be taken away?
… If that man,
If it’s Kang Joo-hyuk.
It certainly remains like that.
