Chapter 164 – Side Story 4 – The Person I Want to Introduce to My Mother
A charnel house came into view in the distance.
Is it because Kim Joo-won comes right after work?
Or is it because the vibration of the car I’m driving is somehow comfortable to me?
“Hey, Kim Joo-won.”
“…”
“Wake up, Kim Joo-won!”
I deliberately called out the sleeping guy’s name loudly and woke him up.
“Uh, um…”
“Did you sleep well?”
“Did you? I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
As I parked my car in the parking lot of the memorial, I immediately saw a scene that did not have the eerie feel typical of a cemetery.
The memorial park, built in a sunny place without even a single tree, is more like a cemetery than a cemetery.
The atmosphere was created so that the living could comfortably see the dead.
“But isn’t this a den designated by the association?”
“That’s right. At the time my mother died, the association had just formed and started to function properly, so I wouldn’t have had the power to designate something like this.”
However, in this place, there was nothing properly established in the beginning.
The problem was that it was not a place with an example befitting a hero who protected the world.
“Mom, I’m here.”
As we followed Kim Joo-won, a tombstone with the name Park Ji-hee engraved on it announced that this was where his mother was buried.
He simply prepared a table on the tombstone with his mother’s favorite snacks and meat stew from an envelope, and an apple cut right here.
He took out a bottle of soju, carefully poured it over his mother, and bowed before her grave.
“Today isn’t the day you’re coming, so why did you come?”
Seeing the side of Kim Joo-won that I had not seen and had not written about as a writer, many thoughts began to come to mind.
A solemn heart.
So, while she was visiting her mother, I thought my job was to just quietly stay by her side.
“There is someone I want to introduce to my mother.”
Is that really me?
At Kim Joo-won’s words, she turned her gaze away and heard a man’s voice calling me, “Seo Haya.”
“This is my mother. Would you like to say hello?”
“Huh, how?”
“You just have to pick me up. Then I’ll throw it next to the soju in the glass, and then I’ll give you another glass.”
Combining the entire world and the current world, it was a bit of an embarrassing statement to me, who had no connection to the deceased.
It was because I had no idea how to show respect to the dead since I had never had anything to do with the dead.
There is also a thief…
‘How do women bow?’
The biggest bows I’ve posted so far may have been more so since I’ve only posted them as a man.
“Hello, my name is Seoha Lee.”
But luckily, I remember seeing it one day during a holiday.
Even though it may be awkward, bow as naturally as possible using the image in your memory.
So that the person watching my mother next to me won’t be offended.
“I’ll raise you a glass.”
No.
So that the dead person doesn’t feel uncomfortable with me before the guy watching from the side.
Do your best to be polite and polite.
“Ha, something…”
I’m so excited.
I didn’t say it because I didn’t think it was something to say in front of a dead person.
“Mother, I’m calling you Seoha.”
As I sat down next to Kim Joo-won, he carefully began to introduce me to my mother.
“I am a person who has made many mistakes, but he still likes me.”
His hand carefully held my hair.
As the wind blows gently, the hair held in his hand is carefully touched.
Kim Joo-won’s voice was heard once again.
“You’re really nice, aren’t you?”
The dead have no words.
But even though he couldn’t hear the answer, he felt as if his mother was right in front of him.
The conversation continued slowly.
“Ah. It’s not because she’s a Western woman that her eyes are blue, but because she’s an awakened person like me and my mom.”
And as I watched him like that, I felt like I could feel someone’s gaze on me.
The only people in this memorial hall were me and him, so I didn’t see anyone else’s eyes.
Maybe me too.
Like Kim Joo-won, I may have felt that his mother was watching me right in front of me.
“Hmm. I didn’t want to say this because I thought I’d get scolded, but actually, we were speeding. That’s right. I’m not married yet, but I have a daughter.”
I guess that’s why he talks about trivial things because of this feeling.
“But you know what, that’s not actually a speeding violation.”
“Hey.”
But no matter how trivial the story, there are some things you shouldn’t say.
What Kim Joo-won is trying to do.
I urgently call him for a story that should never be brought up.
“I was such a piece of trash, but my good Seo-ha. I forced him to do that. You’re going to scold me when you see me later, right?”
“Why are you talking like that again…”
“Actually, we fought a lot at first. There was no point in fighting because I treated him like trash.”
But even that voice that stops him, even his mouth is silenced by that guy’s voice.
Even if I forgave him, he might not have been able to forgive himself.
“But it just so happens that we are here because we have a grudge against each other. Of course, I don’t have a grudge, but I am here to atone even if it means sacrificing my life.”
However, no matter how much pressure you feel in his voice, you cannot just watch it.
When I suddenly covered my mouth, I continued speaking while trying to ignore Kim Joo-won, who was cursing me with his eyes, asking me what I was doing.
“Mother, it’s okay. I’ve forgiven him, and no matter what he says, I’ll take good care of him, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Hey, here…”
When the guy who released my hand said something, I covered his mouth again, this time with a kiss.
Continuing from before, this time, my lips touched my lips with repeated strokes, and Kim Joo-won finally became quiet.
“See? We’re okay with things like this now, so it’s okay.”
“Ha, you really are…”
After a brief kiss, their lips parted, and he let out a small sigh as if he had finally given up.
“Actually, at first, I really hated this guy next to me, but there was a reason for that, so you’re not going to say anything, right?”
“You. If my mother were alive, I would have already heard her say something like what is this kid?”
“What can you say? They made it like this.”
Then, the guy picked up the paper cup placed on his tombstone, sprinkled the soju inside on his grave, and poured another glass into his mouth.
I wondered if they were going to drink here too, but maybe that was just politeness on my part.
Kim Joo-won, who drank just one drink, began to tidy up the gravestone.
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
“Why on earth did the guy who was planning on driving you drink soju?”
“Weren’t you planning on driving anyway?”
“… Yes, but anyway.”
Before cleaning up, he put a sliced apple in his mouth and then helped the guy finish arranging the tombstone.
And before leaving, I bowed along with Kim Joo-won, who bowed once again.
When he said, “Then I’ll come back later,” I greeted him with a nod.
“Let’s go, Seoha.”
I don’t know why, but even though he saw his mother, he didn’t feel comfortable leaving.
Seeing the guy who seemed to be forcing himself to take steps that he didn’t want to fall on, I also felt like my steps had become heavier.
“Joowon.”
“Huh?”
“Do you want to touch my breasts?”
“What, suddenly?”
“You really like this lump of fat.”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
Then, I saw Kim Joo-won smiling.
We touch it all the time at home anyway.
It was a light joke, but it seemed like it was successful in making him feel better.
Instead, as soon as I got into the car, I had to feel his hand gently resting on my chest.
“Joowon.”
“Yes.”
“I have to leave.”
“Why, I asked if you were going to touch me.”
I let out a small sigh at what he said.
Well, we haven’t set off yet.
Since you’ve already touched, sucked, and pinched anyway, let’s touch it as much as we can before we leave.
The guy’s hand came through the gap at the nape of the deep-cut dress.
Just as I was leaning in with my arm resting on his armrest, I was leaning in to make it easier for him to touch me.
“… Don’t touch the faucet.”
My body flinched momentarily as my finger touched the tip.
I don’t think I liked nipples this much.
Why does this guy like his breasts so much?
“What, don’t touch me anymore?”
“I have to go home.”
But even that was only for a moment.
When I asked the guy who immediately took his hand out of his clothes, Kim Joo-won fastened his belt and answered my question as if it was nothing.
… Actually, I wish I would have touched it a little more, but maybe it’s because I feel bad.
“I won’t leave you alone when you get home.”
“What? Hey, didn’t you say you were going to see your mother today and leave the baby to my father?”
“Huh?”
Was it really true?
It wasn’t a date or anything, it was just to introduce me to her dead mother.
“Hmm…”
“That’s it. Okay, go home.”
For the first time in a long time, I was excited to be able to move around freely without my child.
I didn’t know you really thought about that.
“Seoha, why?”
“… I don’t know. You betrayed my expectations.”
However, Kim Joo-won seemed to know why I was doing that, and with a smile, she stretched out her hand and began to modify the navigation destination as she pleased.
Did I suddenly think of somewhere to go?
“Let’s go here.”
“Where am I?”
“You’ll find out when you go.”
When I looked at the destination, a destination called some kind of tower was entered into the navigation.
But after saying that, he won’t answer even if I ask him more questions.
“If I don’t go, can I touch your breasts more?”
“No. You won’t let me touch it?”
“Really?”
“Uh. I’m completely mad at you right now, so I won’t let you touch me.”
I pulled out of the parking lot and started driving to the destination he entered.
“Hey, Kim Joo-won.”
“Huh?”
“But how much did you borrow this?”
“Uh…”
Then the guy smiled awkwardly.
I wonder if he’s hesitant to answer because he’s afraid he’ll get scolded by me if he says this.
“Twelve hours?”
So, you originally rented it with the intention of dragging me around all day?
“Why?”
“No, that’s enough.”
My upset heart seemed to melt a little.
