Chapter 337 – 337. Destiny (2)
Late at night.
I didn’t feel like doing much today, and Ha-eun must have read my expression, so instead of seducing me like she usually did, she lay on my thighs all day.
As for the reason why I don’t feel that way, the first thing is, of course, money.
I didn’t really notice it because I was living a profligate life for a while, but there were more places to spend money and fewer places to come in than I thought.
Of course, if Ha-eun used all the profits, event expenses, etc., She would have paid off her debt a long time ago…, The moment I did that, I wouldn’t be Ha-eun’s master, but Ha-eun would become my master, so honestly, I didn’t want to do that.
The same goes for Hinami.
It’s never a good thing for a person who takes responsibility to open his hands to the person who is responsible.
To put it cheaply, it’s a Gao problem, and to put it a bit crudely, it’s a prestige problem.
If I didn’t have that kind of relationship with my landlord, I would have asked for a reduction in monthly rent a long time ago.
“Haam…, Sleepy. “I’ll go in first and sleep.”
“Okay.”
But I couldn’t show myself to be weak in front of someone who trusted and relied on me, even to the point of lying on my lap and yawning.
I don’t know how he brings out what he has been hiding so tightly, but revealing it first is a bit weird.
It’s a bit close now, but things are going well enough that there aren’t any problems, but I realized a long time ago when my shoulder was broken that things in the world don’t always go the way I want.
Even if an infectious disease suddenly breaks out and the world is ruined, it’s quite possible that a newer gym opens nearby, or that Su-ah gets so nervous like today and quits her part-time job that sales are ruined.
In fact, sales dropped a bit when Ha-eun stopped looking at the desk at all.
Tired in many ways-
-Are you sleeping?
… Just the moment when I was trying to sigh out my fatigue.
I received a call from my sister-in-law, who makes me both tired and happy.
I checked the contact, thinking it was definitely Hinami, but honestly, I was surprised.
-No
Even though she wasn’t like Seoji, she contacted me at exactly the right time. As soon as she confirmed that I was awake, she sent her location in her message.
The location is a hotel in Seoul.
It was very obvious what that meant, but I just couldn’t keep quiet and not ask.
-At this time?
-Until midnight
I was momentarily confused whether they were saying we could only meet until midnight or if they were asking us to come by midnight, but since it was already well past 11 o’clock at night, that meant they were asking us to come by midnight.
As soon as I checked the time, I reflexively tried to put on my outerwear, but in fact, there was something I needed to take care of first before leaving.
“… Sleep?”
First, I had to go back to her room and notify Ha-eun, who was sleeping, or get her permission.
It was obvious why my sister-in-law was calling me at this time, and she honestly had decided what to do when we met.
Common sense tells us that he wouldn’t ask for a late-night date.
“Yes.”
“You’re not sleeping.”
“… I’m going to sleep.”
Ha-eun, who had been bright-eyed not long after entering, let out a sigh as soon as she saw me holding her coat in her hand, covered herself with her blanket, and turned her back to me.
… Last time I went to a motel with Su-ah, I understood, but I didn’t welcome it, so I don’t have anything to say even if I pout.
How should I persuade him?
I think it would be quicker to convince Jia, but…,
When I thought that she might be carrying my child, I couldn’t easily refuse her.
“Ha-eun.”
“… You got a call from Hinamina Yeeun. “If it had been Su-ah, she would have rejected it.”
“…”
“If I tell you not to go, I’ll just be trash. … It’s really okay, so do whatever you want.”
Ha-eun clearly understood my feelings and continued her words in a sullen voice.
Saying that you can do whatever you want because it’s okay means that whatever happens, it’s all your responsibility.
In fact, those words were accurate without any errors.
If I left Ha-eun here and went to see her Jia, it was purely out of my own will and because of what I had done.
“… Don’t hesitate and go quickly. Because he’ll be more disturbed than me.”
“…”
In the end, after I owed Ha-eun another debt, she was able to get out of her house.
… Even if it takes a lifetime, will I be able to repay this?
I don’t know.
In the first place, maybe the owner has to pay something back to the pet.
I really think of her as her pet.
The only thing that was certain was that she thought of me as her master.
I don’t think I can erase that much in my life,
Her shoulders were very heavy.
**
Sitting alone in the hotel, I pick up dark clothes and a mask and put them on.
Her purple hair is tied up and covered with a hoodie hat, and since it would look too suspicious to wear sunglasses, she wears plain glasses instead.
After leaving the hotel, which was too flashy and luxurious to say that everyone was asleep, I walked to the parking lot and looked at the car carefully, looking for a car that wasn’t particularly spacious or nice.
Among all the cars with their engines turned off, there was only one car with the interior lights on.
“…”
The man in there, like me, was wearing glasses and using his cell phone.
As soon as he made eye contact with me, he gestured with a complex expression.
To be honest, it wasn’t pleasant because it felt like I was called out when I was a rookie, but he wasn’t the PD, he was my-
“What are you doing? I’m not riding.”
“… Yes.”
… Really, that person always breaks the mood only at times like this.
Isn’t he the best in the world at setting the mood when it’s not needed and breaking the pain when it’s needed?
I wanted to be angry, but I couldn’t see my expression because I was wearing a mask, so I had no choice but to slam open the door and get into the passenger seat.
“Hey, open it gently.”
“… “If it breaks, I’ll buy you a new one.”
“It’s not that kind of problem, just don’t make a loud noise to attract attention.”
As soon as I got on, he took off his glasses, glanced at me from the corner of his eye, and then stepped on the accelerator and pulled out of the parking lot.
… Since the event is tomorrow, I won’t be able to go far.
In moderation, any place without people is fine.
I wanted to go to a place where I didn’t have to worry about attention.
“… “Where are you going?”
“Han River.”
“Wedding hall.”
“… Yes?”
… But this man.
I didn’t even know what I was thinking when I said something that made no sense, and I stepped on the accelerator even harder and sped down the road.
Wedding hall?
… At this time?
At this timing?
“…”
The more I look at my brother-in-law’s face as he says nonsensical words and drives calmly, the more my mouth gets dry.
It was rare for him to say something normal, but I was always able to hit back.
I don’t know what to tackle this time.
… I’m still not sure… It’s not even a miracle.
Wedding hall… ?
Do you want to try dressing me in a wedding dress?
Why bother telling me that-
“There’s an alley on the way to the wedding hall over there. “I heard there are only companies over there, so no one passes by at night.”
“… Ha.”
… Well then.
There was no way this person could have felt that kind of desire towards me, not my sister or Hinami.
I also don’t want to wear a wedding dress in front of him, even if I wake up.
“Why are you sighing all of a sudden? Are you dissatisfied?”
“No, just.”
“Why not? … “If you’ve reached this point, be honest.”
I sighed, feeling frustrated after all the complicated thoughts, and the man laughed and continued talking as if he was teasing me.
… This is what you said from the beginning.
It’s evil.
Why did I get captured by someone whose hobby is messing with people’s hearts?
Why…,
Did he go out of his way to call me because he wanted to meet me late at night?
“Here. “There’s really no one, right?”
“I guess so.”
“So get down. “Let’s get some air.”
“… Yes?”
… At best, he just bowed his head and told me to do what I wanted.
He is a horrible person who forces me to go outside.
“Get down. It’s cooler outside these days.”
“Oh…”
Because it is a city, the stars are clearly visible in the night sky.
What’s so romantic about raising your head while pointing to the sky?
… Even if you did something like that.
It’s not refreshing at all.
“… “What is your intention?”
“Well. … “It seems like you’re really scared.”
“Not really, now I’m telling my brother-in-law-“
“Not me. “Other people’s eyes.”
In the time I already had, I tried to shake him off from doing useless things.
My brother-in-law smiled faintly and gently hugged me from behind, then lifted my head and showed me the wide open night sky.
… To be honest, it wasn’t shiny,
In the night street where the air is as refreshing as the air.
“Why are you so anxious that you are calling me out at this time of night? … Do you know how sorry I am for what I did to your sister?”
“You can do whatever you want. “You are the owner anyway.”
“Even real pet owners feel very sorry when their dog gets upset. … “I’m worse than that.”
“… If that’s going to happen, you shouldn’t have cheated in the first place.”
“I know. “Maybe it should have been like that from the beginning.”
Instead of comforting my heart, he poured out his worries in my ear.
“How did this happen? You and me. Hinamina. Ha-eun or Everyone.”
“… “It was your fault from beginning to end.”
“Yes. That’s what I did. “I have to take responsibility.”
It’s funny to see people wandering around because of the karma they’ve committed, so let’s respond in a slightly sharp tone.
He took a deep breath as if he was exhausted, hugged me tightly, and whispered softly.
“… Even if you end up in the abyss, I will take responsibility.”
“…”
“Hinami, Haeun, and you too. I will take responsibility for everything. … “I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it.”
“… You can say anything with words.”
“Therefore, … You too, take responsibility and stay by my side.”
“…”
“… “Honestly, you have a share in why my life has turned out this way.”
… As much as he takes responsibility for me.
Please take responsibility for yourself too.
Hugging me with his tattered and scarred shoulders.
He takes it slow.
In this dark alley with no one around.
I carefully took off my top.
… I am,
Following his gesture,
I calmly held up both of his hands.
