Chapter 14 – 3. Living Alone (3)
14
What can I do by hiding it?
It was my first time at Daiso.
It was a world where everything could be solved simply by ordering from home using a computer or mobile phone.
“The building here is elongated from top to bottom, right?”
“It’s just a spacious place… But it’s smaller than a large supermarket.”
Lee Ha-yoon, who was walking ahead, lifted up something that looked like a basket and said.
I don’t know if I visit this place often, but it looks quite believable.
“So, what do you need?”
“Hmm. I think I might need some dishes. I wonder if it would be nice to have some cooking utensils as well.”
“How come it’s just kitchen utensils?”
“Since I started living alone, I’ve only been ordering delivered food. I thought it would be a good idea to try cooking a little bit.”
The process of creating a believable lie is easier and simpler than you think.
This is because the work is completed by mixing a little truth between lies that are not even in the heart.
When I first seduced Lee Ha-yoon, I also lied when I said I needed daily necessities.
It’s a lie to say that there are many things I need since it hasn’t been long since I started living on my own.
It’s a lie to say that I can’t cook when I’ve been living alone for over 10 years.
Among them, the only truth was that I had only ordered delivered food so far.
From yesterday to today.
Because I only eat one meal at home.
“Is there any seasoning?”
“I think there was probably some salt.”
“Then at least soy sauce, soybean paste, sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper powder…”
Lee Ha-yoon mumbled and wrote a note on her phone before starting to climb the stairs to the upper floor.
Even though he got injured several times while training just now, his liveliness does not disappear.
A pitch-black ponytail swaying gently. I followed her, looking at the edge of the hoodie that lightly covered her buttocks.
“First of all, buy seasonings at convenience stores and supermarkets. Let’s look at other things first.”
“I guess they don’t dig it here?”
“Yes. So, I’m going to choose a frying pan first. That’s the most cost-effective. Do you have a gas stove at home?”
“Yes. Gas.”
What’s different about induction?
I can cook, but I’m not really good at it, so I’m not sure, but for now, I nod.
Then Lee Ha-yoon looked around with her dark green eyes shining and took out a frying pan.
After comparing the small print on the frying pan and the price, he put a frying pan in the shopping cart without telling me why.
Well, I didn’t think Lee Ha-yoon would understand if I had to explain it anyway, so I passed it on without answering.
“What about a flipper? How much soy sauce? What about Lock&Lock? What about spoons? Would it be okay if the bowl was this big?”
“…”
… By the way.
I was planning to just stick around and make fun of Lee Ha-yoon and have fun shopping, but I’m more tired than I thought, perhaps because Lee Ha-yoon is running around Daiso all over the place.
If this happens, it’s a little different from the plan.
As I looked around, I saw customers passing here and there.
It’s not that much, but it’s not too small either. About five people, including me and Lee Ha-yoon, on one floor.
It seems like everyone came to buy things they needed on their way home from work.
Me wearing only a stiff gray jacket that slightly covers my waist and a black T-shirt.
Lee Ha-yoon is diligently choosing items while wearing a boxy loose-fit hoodie over her academy uniform.
After thinking for a moment about what other people might think when they see us.
“What, why is this bowl already toothless… ?”
Carefully.
I hugged Lee Ha-yoon’s waist.
… No. Rather than hugging, I think it would be more appropriate to say that I touched.
I just stood next to Lee Ha-yoon and wrapped my forearms around her waist.
“… Um… Uh…”
“…”
Then Lee Ha-yoon suddenly becomes quiet.
As if that wasn’t enough, he started spouting out a voice without words, as if he was broken.
Plus, there was one bowl I was holding. One look at my face. He looked at the bowl again, put it back in its place, and even blinked and closed his eyes.
The reaction is cuter than expected.
Last night, we shared a lot of saliva and even kissed.
“Why?”
“…”
Lee Ha-yoon’s sparkling dark green eyes turn towards me.
And then back to the stall.
Lee Ha-yoon took a new bowl in her hand without answering.
When I looked closely, I saw that it was the dish that had been returned to the stand just moments ago.
“Like my sister said earlier, the tooth is missing, so leave it alone. I think I like this better.”
“…Yeah, really? Then let’s do it…”
“Shouldn’t I check? I don’t know much.”
“Well, well, it’s a bowl, but what… I can’t even see…”
As if the sensation of touching her waist she was unfamiliar, Lee Ha-yoon kept fiddling with my right arm her her her, which was accidentally touching her waist her and stomach her her.
Judging by the fact that he keeps touching it, it seems like he is asking me to stop taking it off.
What should I do? I want to see you more embarrassed.
“Then let’s use this for the dishes. What was next? Did you say it would be a good idea to buy some batteries?”
“…Yeah… Well, things like door locks still use batteries.”
“Hmm. I guess I’ll have to go down here because it’s kitchen supplies. I’ll buy some towels on the way…”
“…”
When I gave strength to the arm that was wrapped around his waist her her her, Lee Ha-yoon followed obediently, even though his shoulders her her she were shaking.
Her eyes kept turning to the people around her, but she pretended not to notice and went down the stairs with Lee Ha-yoon, who had become quiet.
*****
Near the end of shopping.
Only then did I remove Lee Ha-yoon’s forearm from her waist and get out of Daiso carrying a load that was heavier than I expected.
I’m not sure about the price, but it didn’t matter since I paid anyway. How expensive are the items here?
First of all, it was a shopping trip aimed at luring Ha-yoon Lee, but since these were really necessary items, I think I should start organizing them when I get back home.
Looking at the amount, it would probably take a full 30 minutes.
“I think you can just buy the seasoning at a convenience store… Thank you for taking the time today, sister. I’ll buy you dinner next time.”
“…”
“Sister?”
“…”
Could it be that I couldn’t hear it because of the cars speeding next to me? There is no answer even though I am right next to you.
So I called Lee Ha-yoon one more time, but the result was the same.
When she looked down at Lee Ha-yoon, adjusting her clothes in the winter wind, she was walking with a lost expression on her face.
Umm. The only thing she has done to Lee Ha-yoon so far is to lightly hug her waist.
If left alone, someone who talks to themselves for a few minutes can break down like that.
After thinking for a moment while holding the Daiso Buntu, I turned around and blocked Lee Ha-yoon, who was walking blankly.
Only then does Lee Ha-yoon open her eyes wide and stop in place.
Since there was a slight difference in their heights, Lee Ha-yoon’s nose was right in front of my chest.
“Sister.”
“… Uh, huh?”
“Thank you. For helping me today. You must have been tight on time.”
“Oh… It’s no big deal. I don’t even have a part-time job today.”
“It’s surprising. I thought you only worked part-time all week.”
“Are you going to do it? All week? … I texted the convenience store owner when I was going to the health room to pick you up earlier. I said I couldn’t do it today because I was tired.”
“…”
“So, they said they would continue until evening today.”
Lee Ha-yoon answered with both hands in the pockets of her hood, gulped, and swallowed her saliva.
“Well, I mean, I can help you a little more.”
“Really?”
“Well, of course, it won’t be enough compared to the cost of the free treatment you gave me… “
To fill that, the hourly wage is 3 million… 4 million…
Lee Ha-yoon muttered with his head down, perhaps because the wind was chilly.
She said, glancing up at my face.
“…Staying alone. Where are you?”
“…”
“I’m just going to help with organizing.”
*****
Beep,
Beep,
Beep.
“…”
“…”
“It’s 21520 won. Do you need an envelope?”
After getting the last remaining seasonings, I put them in a Daiso bag and headed to my room.
Just because you can make a lot of money doesn’t mean you spend extravagantly to find a nice house, so it’s not like it’s a much better place than the neighborhood where Lee Ha-yoon lives.
It’s an ordinary neighborhood.
A neighborhood where there are mainly two-room apartments rather than one-room apartments.
However, unlike Lee Ha-yoon’s neighborhood, all social promises, such as pay-as-you-go envelopes, are kept.
There are no stray cats eating trash.
“This is the second floor.”
“… The first floor is the parking lot, right above?”
“No. If you think about it that way, the third floor?”
“Aha…”
#6050
Press the call button to open the first floor door and go up to the second floor with Lee Ha-yoon.
… I’m a little nervous.
I just thought to myself that I wanted to be a hero, but this was my first time actually doing it.
Let’s calm down.
Don’t get too excited and ruin it from the start.
You’ve already practiced a lot.
How far can a woman endure the first time?
If something goes wrong, a woman will lose her taste.
At what speed do I have to advance to the next level before I can catch myself?
Because we practiced several times with villains whose faces and bodies were worth looking at.
After making up her mind, she knocked on the door lock.
Lee Ha-yoon was glaring at her from the side of her, as if she was curious, but she had no intention of hiding it.
What if the genders were reversed? If Lee Ha-yoon opens the door and comes in, it means she wants to be eaten by me.
“It’s shabby, but please come in.”
“I don’t think a studio like this would be shabby…”
A studio filled with the scent of a male.
Lee Ha-yoon’s refreshing scent slowly began to blend in there.
It’s a shame. If she had known this would happen, she would have worked harder at cleaning.
Since I wasn’t a tidy person to begin with, basic cleanliness was everything.
The blanket was roughly bundled up on the bed, and on the table in the center of the studio, there was still a box of pizza she had eaten before, that is, before she regressed.
Plus, they bought bottled water and lined it up on the floor. I’m embarrassed to show it to others.
I should put it away.
“… Good. Home.”
“Does it look good?”
“Aren’t regular studio apartments smaller than this… ?”
“Because it’s 10 pyeong. It’s not small, but it’s not that big either. There are also 11 pyeong and 12 pyeong.”
“Then I guess it’s because I only saw small, square-footed houses.”
Knock, knock, Lee Ha-yoon took off her shoes and entered, immediately looking around my room.
It feels like going to a new place and seeing an excited country dog.
If it had a tail, it wouldn’t be shaking right now right before my eyes.
“There’s a computer too.”
“What house is without a computer?”
“No, it just reminds me of Jiyoon. She likes games. “Shooting guns.”
“Uhm… I don’t really.”
I was playing games when I went there yesterday, so I guess my hobby is games.
After roughly remembering, he put the pizza box aside on the table and began to unpack.
Starting with frying pans, various items purchased at Daiso are lined up on the floor.
“Can you give me the vinegar I bought earlier? I need to wash it once I buy a new frying pan.”
“Oh, I can do it.”
“It’s okay. I’ll do it. Because I’m your sister…”
“Then I’ll ask you a favor.”
After saying that, Ha-yoon Lee walks to the kitchen without even paying a glance at the large bed, as if she really only came to help with the tidying up.
Hmm, as I was watching, I put the spoon in the bowl I had just bought and approached Lee Ha-yoon.
I didn’t think we’d be able to have sex right away, but it’s a shame that it happened.
… It’s okay. Because there is a lot of time anyway.
If you spend time with Lee Ha-yoon, opportunities will come.
When I got close to Lee Ha-yoon like that.
“Sister.”
“Uh, huh?”
Lee Ha-yoon’s shoulders, who were quietly pouring water into a frying pan, shook greatly.
I guess I was just dazed for a while.
“Why are you freaking out? Here, I brought you some dishes. I think I need to wash those too.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll do it. I just… He suddenly came next to me…”
Lee Ha-yoon said that and sprayed dish detergent on the frying pan that had been rinsed with water.
“…”
“…”
With his ears dyed bright red.
Pretending not to know.
Pretending not to be interested in dirty things.
All the way, all the way.
