Chapter 17 – Mom, It’s Me ②
^-^
Although it became overfit, I thought it wouldn’t matter because I had to prove the person ‘Lee Seo-hyun’ to my family.
“This is enough for the clothes… Well, the rest should do as usual.”
Behavior, tone of voice, gestures, etc. Since he was originally a man, it was clear that the habits that he had even when he was a man would not be easily corrected.
Fluff.
He changed into his usual clothes and threw himself onto the mattress he always lay on.
“Ahhhhh. It’s good.”
The soft bed at Seol-ah’s house was nice, but there was definitely a sense of security from the mattress I had been using for a long time.
I lay on the mattress for a while and quietly closed my eyes.
“I’d just like to sleep like this, but… There’s no problem if I go now.”
Stretching out on the mattress, I opened my closed eyes and stood up.
My hometown and my room were in the same Seoul, so it wasn’t that far, so there was no problem even if I left right away.
I felt like I would rather fall in love with my grandfather’s birthday this time.
Having to show off my new self in front of my relatives whom I haven’t seen in a long time… It was clear that there would be an uproar just thinking about it.
By the way, now that I think about it, wouldn’t it be the same that not only my relatives, but also someone passing by on the street would be upset if they found out that I had become a woman?
Because it doesn’t make biological sense for a man to become a woman.
“If the doctor wrongly catches you, you may be subjected to a living experiment…”
I thought of the horrible things I hated to imagine being taken and experimented on as to how I had become a woman.
“Oh, what are you thinking?”
I shook my head from side to side, shaking my head from the horrible imagination.
“Ssssscha. Now we have to leave, to the battlefield…”
There was no problem going to the place where the family gathered, but the fact that I had to see Lee Seo-yeon again, whom I really really didn’t want to see, was a battlefield that I never wanted to go to.
What can I do though, she said as if her mother would kill her if she didn’t come because it was her grandfather’s birthday, but she had no choice but to go…
I’m afraid that if I don’t go, they’ll threaten to take out the room I live in right away.
Tiriririk!
Clap.
After opening the front door and stepping out of my room, I moved towards my home with neither fast nor slow steps.
It’s almost 9:00 p.M. Now, a little late, preparing things in my own room.
Of course, this happened because I was lying comfortably and passing the time.
Outside, the hot midsummer air seemed to have cooled down a bit at night, but it wasn’t that hot.
I took a leisurely look around and breathed in the night air, which was different from the daytime.
The night air was drawn into the lungs through the nose, and the air that came in was blown out again through the mouth.
“I like nights because of this feeling.”
At night, when everyone who was busy doing their own thing is taking a break, I liked this time.
It was good to walk leisurely down the street and look around the surroundings, which felt different from daytime, and it was also good to look around the night view of Seoul.
I have to say that looking at it makes me feel at ease and is healing.
However, the taste of such healing was short-lived, and the leisurely pace came to a halt before I knew it because of a man blocking my way.
“…?”
He sent a gaze containing unspoken pressure, asking why he was blocking the front of a person who was going well.
The man who received that gaze kept hesitantly in front of me, and then began to speak earnestly.
“… Will it work?”
“…?”
His voice was so low that I couldn’t hear his voice.
“What did you say?”
I couldn’t hear what he said so I asked him to say it again, but suddenly he made a face as if he was plucking up his courage and opened his mouth to speak.
“Ah. That, that… Burr, give me your number…!”
“Yes? Number…? Why?”
But suddenly he asked me for my number, and I couldn’t take good care of someone who suddenly appeared and blocked my way and asked me to give my number.
So I answered with a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of I was able to hear a really unexpected answer from him.
“That… He’s my ideal type… I tried talking to him once with the feeling that I shouldn’t miss him like this…”
I couldn’t hear the second half of his voice as he slowly crawled to the floor, but I heard the first part straight.
The word ideal.
“Your ideal type…? Me…?”
“Yes, yes! I like it so much…”
“So you blocked the front…?”
“Ah, sorry if you felt offended…”
Aha.
Now everything made sense.
About what stood in my way from the beginning and whether or not he said it was his ideal type.
‘So… Is this a situation where that man gets a number from me…?’
When a man meets a girl he likes, he is the first to talk to her and ask for her number.
However.
I already had a pretty girlfriend named Seol-ah, and we were not in a situation where we could break up easily as we had already coveted each other’s bodies and acted like that.
No, in the first place, Seol-ah and I didn’t have the option of breaking up.
Therefore, the man who was taking my number in front of me had no choice but to somehow make an excuse and send it back.
“That… I’m sorry…”
“···!!”
He only said he was sorry, but in an instant his expression began to darken.
I’m sorry, but it was unavoidable.
“Because I have a girlfriend…”
“Woman… Friend?”
“Oh, no boyfriend.”
I almost made a mistake by saying that I had a girlfriend.
He hurriedly made an excuse that he had a boyfriend and flirted with the fact that he couldn’t give his number.
“By the way, I have to go soon because that ‘boyfriend’ is waiting, right?”
“······”
“See you later if you can!”
“Gee, really? Really?”
After I said that, I quickly got away from him and started running away without looking back.
At the end, I asked to see him again later, but would I have to meet him again in this vast Seoul?
That’s why my last words were a very, very twisted way to say never to see her for the rest of my life.
“But you seem young. How old are you? I should have asked that.”
She couldn’t ask him again because it was clear that her relationship with him, who seemed young somewhere, had ended here.
But, well, the face is on the handsome side…
A better man than me… Ah, no, I hope to meet a woman.
Huh. Don’t meet me again
“Whoa…”
I was out of breath as I quickly walked away from him, whose face brightened, asking if it was true. I caught my breath and recalled the situation just before.
“I never thought the day would come when I could pick a number in my life.”
Even when I was blocked for the first time, I wondered if we were going to fight.
Well, life is something to live and see.
Even though it’s about becoming a woman and getting a number…
“But really, why did I turn into a woman?”
Now that I’ve come to think of it, it was really nonsense.
When I woke up, suddenly there was nothing below and something that wasn’t above, and I really didn’t know how surprised I was.
Then, as Seol-ah suddenly came to her room, she wanted to end her life like this, but in fact, it became the beginning of a new life.
Wearing clothes as a woman, putting on makeup as a woman, and sharing love with Seol-ah as a woman.
“Oh, are you all here?”
As I walked, thinking for a while, I found a familiar building somewhere, but the identity of the building was none other than the family’s home.
It was only after I arrived at my home that I realized how much I had been lost in thought, that I had unconsciously walked all the way here.
Anyway, after arriving at my parents’ house, I naturally tried to go inside…
I raise my hand to press the password of the door lock, but when I try to press the password, my hand shakes and I can’t press it properly.
“Why, why are you so nervous…?”
It’s a house I’ve lived in for 20 years… Even when I left the house and lived in my own room, it must have been the house I came to every day whenever there was an important day… I don’t know why I’m so nervous.
When I put my ear to the front door, I thought I could hear something from inside, probably because I had the TV on.
Because it was late, it seems that my father, who had left the company, came in, and it seemed that the whole family was gathered.
Anyway, it was clear that someday there would be a situation where I had to say something or a situation where I would be exposed, so I decided that it would be better for me to inform my family first.
But please, I wish I could sleep as much as Lee Seo-yeon.
Please.
“Writing…, Whoa…”
I took a deep breath in front of the front door, raised my still trembling hand, and slowly began to dial the password on the door lock.
Belt. Belt. Belt.
Before I knew it, I pressed the third password, and now only the last password remained.
“Let’s go···.”
I pressed the last password that was left with a word of promise.
Belt.
Tiririk!
The sound of the door lock being unlocked resonated cheerfully, and I lowered the doorknob, opened the door, and went inside.
The front door that was open is closed, and you can enter the house immediately by simply opening the middle door.
However, it did not come off easily.
I thought about just opening the door again and leaving, but…
“Is Seohyun here? You’re not coming in quickly, so what…, Nu, who are you…?”
She opened the front door, but she couldn’t go outside again because her mother came to greet me, who still hadn’t come in.
