Chapter 69 – GAL-174 (2)
For this title, both time and place were free.
It was probably a sign of trust from the planning department that they would completely entrust it to me.
Or, it could be an arrangement in case the build-up becomes longer, like it did with Su-a.
In fact, whatever the reason, it was a condition that was not bad at all for me.
Another week passes like that.
When I started to worry about filming.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the hallway of my room.
Some angry woman was irritably reprimanding someone.
─No! Sir! I told you to place the sofa carefully! What are you going to do with this?
─Oh my. What should I do with this? The threshold has been stamped. Shall I compensate you?
─Ha. That’s Okay. Please finish the work quickly. Really annoying.
I slowly opened the door and looked outside, and the hallway was full of furniture and moving items.
And in the middle of it all, a blonde woman stands with her arms crossed.
That arrogant woman was none other than Iljinnyeo Park Chae-rin.
What kind of coincidence was it that she really moved into the house next door to her?
“… Crazy. It’s not a situational comedy, you’ve actually moved in?”
They said there would be full support from the Planning Department, and I guess that was true.
I smiled at her, looking at her smooth skin.
“Hey. I guess I can just throw away all the Onaholes in the house? A rag Onahole is moving in right next door.”
She was leading the moving scene, nagging her about everything.
Then she picks up a bag and starts putting the trash in it.
It seemed like he was going to the villa’s garbage dump.
After seeing this, I quickly collected the trash at home and put it in a bag.
Then, he followed Park Chae-rin to the garbage dump.
It wasn’t long before I was able to meet her who was ahead of me.
She was wearing short light blue shorts with a white off-the-shoulder frill.
The combination of a cheesy look and cute fashion created a strangely ugly atmosphere.
I gave her a brief greeting.
“Hello? I haven’t seen you before. I guess you’re new here?”
When she said hello, Park Chae-rin nodded with a nervous expression.
It was such an old memory that she didn’t seem to recognize me either.
“… Oh, yes. I came today.”
“I see. My name is Kang Min-hyuk and I live in room 208. What about you?”
“… Room 207.”
“Ah! You were the person next door? Then, we are neighbors. Let’s get along well from now on. The villa here is a little shabby, but it’s okay to live there.”
“… Yes.”
She responded dryly, as if she wasn’t particularly interested in me.
Still, she seemed to have lost a lot of character while living in society, so she didn’t even get on her nerves with her neighbors.
I decided to deliberately bother her a little more.
Because I suddenly wondered how much she could endure.
“By the way, haven’t we seen you somewhere before? You look familiar somehow?”
Park Chae-rin frowned slightly at my question.
It seemed like they thought they had an annoying bastard from the first day they moved in.
She drew her line in a cold voice.
“No. This is my first time seeing it.”
But I hung on to Park Chae-rin persistently.
“Oh, isn’t it? I’m sure I saw it somewhere? Didn’t Song Mancho come out?”
When Park Chae-rin asks that question, she flinches and becomes embarrassed.
She must have been embarrassed as she had done a lot of dirty things during her school days.
“… No, I don’t know where Songmancho is.”
She ends up telling her lies.
I laughed and questioned Park Chae-rin.
“Pfft. You’re not good at lying. You went to Jinju Girls’ Middle School when you were Songman Elementary School. Isn’t that right?”
“…”
“Well, no matter what the past is, we are neighbors now, let’s get along well. Chae Rin Lee, sister.”
Then, after throwing away her trash, she walks away.
She hurriedly blocked my path.
The tone of voice from just a moment ago had suddenly disappeared.
“… Fuck. Who are you?”
A bitter coldness flows through the eyes.
She said she couldn’t get over her old habits, but she was still the girl with her mouth.
I smiled while looking at Park Chae-rin.
“Who is it? My sister’s neighbor. Doesn’t the world seem so small if you just look at it? I never would have thought that my sister would move in next door to me.”
But no matter how much she thought about it, her eyes were constantly shaking, as if it was difficult for her to remember me.
“… Don’t talk nonsense. How do you know me?”
“Haha. Isn’t it funny that I don’t know anything? I’ve been working on a dance team lately. My sister often appears on YouTube.”
“… That’s not what you said. How did you know me?”
Of course, I didn’t mean to tell you that already.
Only if I keep feeling uncomfortable will I be conscious of myself and pay attention.
All he did was throw ominous rice cakes and turn her outfit inside out.
“Original perpetrators don’t remember. If you’re curious, you can look it up yourself. Or you can show your own sincerity.”
Then, when she turns around, she urgently tries to grab me.
However, he easily shook it off and continued walking.
I went straight back to my room and opened the tablet.
And as always, I tried to peer into her inner thoughts through mind chat.
=================
[… Ha. Minhyuk Kang? Who on earth is this? I think I heard it somewhere.
[Could it be that this bastard is also the one I bullied?
[Fuck. They asked me a few thousand dollars as settlement money for the year I visited before.
[Show sincerity. You cocky bastard. Is there any evidence?
=================
She was deep in thought while standing on the side of the dumpster.
It seemed like she was nervous as she was picking at her fingernails.
=================
[Ha fuck. There will be airwaves filming starting next month.
[You’re not trying to expose this bastard, are you?
[Ugh it’s frustrating. I’m suddenly so fucking worried.
=================
She pressed her forehead and called somewhere.
On the cell phone screen, it was written that Da-eun was my older sister.
I quickly searched her name and found that she was Song Da-eun, the leader of the dance team Mirage.
─Hello?
─… Ah, sister. Are you busy right now?
─No. Nothing much happened, why?
─… Ah. Because something unpleasant happened again.
─Uncomfortable? Is it really the settlement money again?
─… No. It’s not there yet. The kid next door said something a little strange.
─The kid next door? Are you talking about the house you moved to?
─… Yes. This time it’s a man. The perpetrator doesn’t remember. To show sincerity. When I see you say such bullshit, I feel like you know me somehow.
─Ha. Chaerin, don’t you remember that bastard?
─… Yes. Not at all.
─Then, first, try to have a good conversation. If there is a conflict, try to reach an agreement as much as possible, even if it means begging.
─… You want me to pray for you?
─Then what? Should I go to court?
─…
─Hey. Park Chae-rin. Are you really going to lose your mind? Are you doing this because you don’t know there’s a filming next month? If a scandal breaks out now, you’ll be really screwed. Do you think your boss will take care of you? Since it is an over-the-air broadcast, the media will be all over it. Do you think that will be care?
─…
─If you don’t want to live in obscurity again, behave properly. In the last case, if you hadn’t taken care of me, you would have been expelled right away. Don’t waste your life trying to show respect, just do as your sister tells you. Do you understand?
─… Yes.
─Fuck. Upset? Don’t you answer straight?
─… Yes. Sister.
─If a problem arises, I immediately contact my sister. If I don’t receive it, contact Jina. No matter what happens, come to an agreement. Because I don’t want Chae-rin to kick you out.
As soon as the phone call went off, Chae-rin Park nervously messed with her hair.
Then she roughly smashed the garbage bag and glared at room 208, where I lived, with her murderous eyes.
=================
[… Fuck. Nothing really works.
[Ha. I’m stressed. Just like you said, if a scandal breaks out now, you’ll be really screwed.
[What do we do? Should I just pretend not to know? I asked for a settlement before, so I don’t have any money.
[No. Let’s at least have a conversation. Since he’s a guy, he might get off on it surprisingly easily.
=================
She went to a nearby shopping mall and purchased tteokbokki for two.
Then I returned with a very dissatisfied expression and pressed the intercom in my room.
─Ding dong!
At that moment, a funny idea occurred to me and I quickly played a pornographic video on my PC.
Faint sound that can barely be heard in the living room.
─Ding dong!
After a while, the intercom rings again.
I hurriedly ran to the front door, making the sound of footsteps.
I deliberately took a deep breath and picked up the intercom.
“Ha. Ha. Who are you?”
─… It’s next door. I met you earlier.
“Ha. Ha. But? Why did you come?”
─… But I moved here anyway. The rice cake must be returned. Well, I have various things to say.
“Whew. Really? Then come inside.”
When the front door is opened, Park Chae-rin hesitates and looks inside her room.
Then she suddenly held out the tteokbokki she had bought.
“… This. Tteokbokki.”
“It’s for two people? Would you like to eat it together?”
“…”
She didn’t answer, but that’s fine with me.
I roughly placed the tteokbokki on the table and said as I went into the bathroom.
“Ah. I’ll be showering and coming out soon, so please eat first. I sweated a little while exercising. You wouldn’t be rude, would you?”
Of course, it was her who was disappointing now, so she shook her head obediently.
“Okay. Then I’ll wash up and come out. It’ll take about 10 minutes.”
As I took the tablet and went into the bathroom, there was silence in the living room.
And a subtle noise coming from somewhere.
It was the moaning sound of a pornographic video that was intentionally turned on in the room.
I opened the tablet pretending to take a shower.
She too was busy looking around, frowning as if she had heard that strange voice.
=================
[… What is this sound? It’s a woman’s voice? Where does it come from?
[Oh crazy. Isn’t this moaning? Could it be that he was jerking off instead of exercising?
[That’s right, fuck. For some reason, I was so fucking out of breath. A crazy pervert bastard.
=================
Park Chae-rin crossed her legs and deliberately turned up her music loudly.
But she can’t control her curiosity and her eyes keep turning to the door.
Eventually, Park Chae-rin quietly wakes up from her seat.
After all, humans were animals that could not overcome their curiosity.
