Chapter 97 – Thirst
Time passed again, and about three months had passed since Woojin abandoned Dahye and ran away.
In the end, Si-hyeon, who was weak-hearted, could not abandon Da-hye, who was pleading with him. He took care of her with as much sincerity as possible after further detailed examination revealed that she had AIDS. Also, because Da-hye quit her job immediately after contracting a sexually transmitted disease, Si-hyeon lived a busy life for the past three months, moving back and forth between home and work, working on a webtoon, and doing housework in his spare spare. Spare her. Time to make up for the lack of money.
However, apart from Si-hyeon’s busy life her her, Da-hye makes various excuses and rarely does housework, so the number of full trash bags and poorly organized food scraps gradually increases in the house.
Si-hyeon, who noticed this, tried his best on his own, but since he lived a busy life every day, of course there was no way he could clean the house perfectly. In the end, Sihyeon decided to express her dissatisfaction with the garbage bags that filled the kitchen and a corner of the living room.
Early evening as the sunset fades. As usual, after returning from work, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke carefully to Da-hye, who was sitting silently on the sofa in the dark living room because the LED light was not turned on. A meaningless home shopping advertisement was playing on the only TV that illuminated the living room.
“Honey… ? Didn’t I ask you to throw away at least one trash bag? “Honey, I know it’s hard.”
Square Square Square Square.
Several cockroaches were crawling around the overflowing food scraps in the overstuffed pay-as-you-go garbage bag placed near the kitchen. These unpleasant and dirty bugs leave black marks that cannot be easily erased wherever they pass.
“Wow… “
As Si-hyeon looked at the cockroach, he could barely hold back the nausea that threatened to burst out.
“… “
On the other hand, Da-hye, who simply remained silent in response to Si-hyeon’s question, casually picked up a piece of pizza placed next to her on the sofa with her chubby fingers and brought it to his mouth her her her. Well Well. Tsk tsk tsk tsk… As she swallowed her food, her her neck, with its several layers of fleshy folds, trembled and swayed.
Da-hye, who was suffering from AIDS and was unable to have sex, had to satisfy her overflowing desires by eating, which ultimately caused her recent weight to hit 100 kg. Her swollen fingers her protruding bigger than when she was pregnant, and her swollen arms and legs that might be disgusting depending on the viewer, made her feel low in self-esteem.
“Honey… ?”
Crunch crunch. Whoop whoop. Gulp.
After that, after slowly eating a few more slices of pizza, Da-hye raised her head and looked up at her Si-hyeon watching her. She then opened her mouth awkwardly, her chubby face showing no trace of her prettiness.
“Ah. I’m sorry baby. Mutter… I really felt like shit after going to work this morning. “I was going to throw it away, but I forgot.”
She slowly chewed and swallowed the remaining food in her mouth while muttering apologetically at her vision. Tuk. Then, the food residue that she could not swallow flew out of her mouth and stuck to her Sihyeon’s arm.
“… “
Without saying a word, Sihyeon removed the piece of pizza from his arm with his hand. Then, Dahye’s long, sticky saliva hung down from the end of the pizza residue.
Looking at his dirty arms her, he muttered quietly.
“… “I need to wash it.”
The moment Si-hyeon carefully passed between the bags full of garbage and headed toward the shower room inside the bedroom, Da-hye reacted and raised her voice loudly and shouted angrily.
“What?! What did you say just now? Do I need to wash it?! Are you saying I’m that dirty?”
“… Honey? “What do you mean?”
“You just said it! My spit is disgusting. So you’re saying you’re going to wash now?! How can you say something like that to me out loud? If you’re going to wash, just go to the bathroom alone without saying anything!”
Stride, stride. Thump thump thump. Clap. Cheolpuk.
She quickly approached Si-hyeon’s side in the bedroom, stepping on her garbage bag with her fat body approaching 100 kg. Then she glared at her husband with her red face as if she were angry.
“… “
Si-hyeon, who was dumbfounded by Da-hye’s attitude, just looked at her with a dumbfounded expression. However, fat Dahye was panting and urgently spit out what she wanted to say.
“Sigh. Sigh. How amazing you are! Under. I think you’re trying to disrespect me, your wife, just because you have a pretty face. Well, you don’t even have any peppers. You’re just a stupid, crippled child who can’t even have sex or even feel sexual pleasure! Phew… Whoa… I don’t need you either. I don’t need you either! I don’t need anything like you without chili peppers, so go quickly and make a meat dish. “I just need meat dishes!”
Da-hye speaks quickly, befitting her size. Her mouth was filled with remaining food and saliva. These debris stuck to the bedroom floor, the nightlight, and the clothes that Sihyeon had taken off on the bed, and the contents included not only the pizza he had eaten earlier, but also other food that he did not know when he had eaten.
“… “
Si-hyeon, who was sitting in front of her shower stall and trying to wash, looked at Da-hye without saying anything for a moment. He was angry at Da-hye, who only thought about his position until the end, but he was unable to express it due to the circumstances of her.
“I’m sorry honey. I apologize… But, can’t we at least throw away some trash? ? Although I am the one who said I would continue to live with my wife, I still wish I could help her to some extent. Honestly, I’m having a hard time.”
He could barely control his anger and spoke soothingly to the angry Da-hye. However, Si-hyeon’s attitude actually incited Da-hye’s anger.
“Ah. Okay? Under. Does that mean it comes out like that? Whoa… Okay. That’s right. You were right and I was wrong. I did everything wrong by acting dirty and saying rude things. That’s because I’m a person with no common sense who doesn’t throw away a single piece of trash while my husband has a hard time working!”
Da-hye’s self-esteem hit rock bottom after she lost confidence in her fat and ugly appearance. Even though she did not hear any criticism from Si-hyeon, she became angry.
“Honey. That’s not what I meant… “
“No, no! Because I know that since I became ugly, you started hating me a long time ago! Don’t think you’ll be fooled! You! You’re wishing I would die! “I’m an AIDS patient, my body is broken, and I’m the type of person who doesn’t throw away a single piece of trash!”
“… “
As she continued to speak and act violently, hot tears suddenly formed in the corners of her eyes. Ugh. Hmm… In the end, Da-hye began to sob, shedding tears.
Dahye’s appearance collapsed and ruined. Only then did Sihyeon hear her honest thoughts.
“No! No! I still love you honey. Really. And although honey may not be confident in her appearance, I still think she is the prettiest in the world. That’s the one and only precious companion in my life! “
Si-hyeon, who was embarrassed by Da-hye’s tears, quickly got up and hugged her to comfort her. Her her her her body her her her, thicker than her her vision her her her, would not fit in her arms her her her no matter how hard she tried to hug it. Da-hye is probably very distressed because she looks like this.
“Hyung. Really?”
Dahye, with her face buried in her vision her ‘arms her, carefully asked a question. However, her greasy, fat face covered in tears could not be called pretty even with empty words.
“Haha. Of course. No matter what anyone says, I only have an older sister.”
“Ugh. Hmm… Hehe. Hehe. I’m sorry. Really… Sorry. Actually, I know that I am wrong. Hi.”
“No. Sister. Do not say that. There was nothing wrong with my sister. Hi-Hi. I think it’ll probably be okay if you just throw away some trash. “Can you understand my feelings?”
“Huh. Hi! Sorry… Even though I know that you are living hard for me. I just… Ugh.”
“Kkkk. “I’m okay?”
Da-hye, overcome by her tears and self-loathing her, barely calmed down until after Si-hyeon patted her and comforted her for a long time. The body temperature of the two reconciled people was warmer than the cold evening wind blowing outside the window.
However, contrary to Sihyeon’s wishes, the problem was not easily resolved. The next day, and the next day after that, Dahye stayed inside her house and ate the delivered food and did not throw away any of her trash.
Not only that, she started to criticize her vision again, as if she had made up with her.
“… “
Sihyeon, who had been working tirelessly every day, both at work and at home, eventually became exhausted and a slightly harsh voice escaped from the corner of his her barely opened mouth her her her her.
“… “Honey.”
“What. Whatever. Hurry up and get something to eat. Because I’m hungry.”
Da-hye, who may or may not know what Si-hyeon’s feelings she was, answered silently while watching at her TV her her her. Leftover delivery food was piled up around the sofa where she sat.
“… “
Si-hyeon felt a thirst for something that felt like his throat her her was burning, and he even forgot about the thought of caring for Da-hye and spit out a short, meaningless answer.
“Cleaning. “They said I was throwing away trash.”
“Ah. Cleaning? Sigh. “I’ll do it later.”
“What on earth have you been doing all day today? It seems like the number of chicken pizza boxes piled up in the living room has only increased.”
“Ah! Whatever! I’ll just watch this and do it! Umm. This program is more fun than I thought. Excuse me. Sihyeon. “You too, sit here and watch this.”
Despite Sihyeon’s anger, Dahye still kept her eyes on the TV screen. Grumble. Grumble. Rather, she pushed the pizza boxes piled up on the sofa to a corner and invited Sihyeon to sit there.
“… “
Naturally, Si-hyeon ignored Da-hye’s suggestion and went to the bathroom without saying a word, grabbing her mop. Then he returned to the living room with it and started wiping the dirty floor.
Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.
As I was mopping every day, I felt like Sihyeon’s hands smelled like mops.
