Chapter 222 – Side Story) Yang Hye-Mi, Who Likes Pranks
“That’s right, did you guys hear that? That Dahye is pregnant?”
“Huh? Da-hye doesn’t even have a boyfriend, what happens?”
“He said he slept one night with a boy who worked with him part-time.”
“…”
I’m busy with work, so my ears prick up at the stories of friends who meet up after a long time.
What kind of expression should I make when I hear the news that my friend from college is pregnant after a long time?
It’s a happy day. Should I smile and congratulate you? Should I just smile and agree?
As I awkwardly lifted the coffee cup to my lips with trembling hands, someone asked.
“Now that I think about it, Hyemi lives in the same neighborhood as Dahye. Haven’t you heard anything about it?”
“Ugh, croak! Uh, huh?”
“So, you and Dahye are very close, right? Do you still keep in touch these days?”
“Huh, no? We haven’t seen each other often since we graduated? Haha…”
Wiping away the coffee that spilled out of my mouth, I shook my head vigorously like a wet puppy.
Even breaking out in a cold sweat, like a thief with numb feet.
“Well, by the way, what should we do now, Dahye? That guy didn’t run away, right?”
“Luckily, that’s not the case. As soon as Da-hye found out she was pregnant, she said that the boy was responsible.
And you all know that Dahye’s family is rich. Dahye also said she wants to have a baby, and she is getting married at the end of this year.
“Wow, awesome…”
I cover up the lie that would have been revealed at any moment with Da-hye’s current situation, and let out a small sigh of relief.
Sorry, Dahye…
Huh? But why are you lying like a guilty person?
Of course, that’s because Dahye and that boy met exactly two months ago.
That’s because I personally saw those two coming in drunk at my mom’s motel.
And the biggest reason Dahye got pregnant was because she was at our motel.
I’m really sorry, Dahye. I sincerely hope you will be happy…
“But do you know what? A sister I know got married recently for speeding.”
“Uh, are you talking about Jisoo? She goes to Hyemi’s neighborhood often too, right?”
“Pugh!”
A slightly different but similar story is heard again, and brown water spray comes out of the mouth again.
The story, which would have been nice to end once, continued one after another.
* *
“Hey, mom!”
“Yes, daughter. Why did you come in screaming like that?”
As soon as we parted ways with her friends, we went into the motel and shouted at the counter,
A languid voice mixed with giggling laughter returns like a boomerang.
“Mommy, did you use that pink medicine you got from Yoon Sol again? Stop using that!”
She slammed her bag down on the counter and turned off the TV her mom was watching.
The mother then stands up, scratching her head, and takes out her small perfume bottle from underneath.
A small glass bottle containing a bright pink perfume.
That’s the thing that turned Dahye and the other guests into married women.
“This? How good does this smell? It’s great to use as a body scent.
Even if there is a cigarette smell in the room, just spray this once and the smell will disappear.
Oh, I have a date with Yoon Sol and Woo Joo soon. Should I get some more then?”
“Did you just ignore my daughter’s words to stop writing?”
Smiling loosely, she takes the perfume bottle from her mother’s hand, resting her chin on the counter.
“Oh, why are you doing this? Can you tell me the reason? Is it because of the estrous effect in that scent?
Hey, most of the male and female guests who come to the motel are there to have sex. In other words, he is in heat even before he comes in.”
“Well, isn’t that just my mom generalizing?”
“Anyway~ I’m writing this to encourage young couples who come to have sex anyway.
As Yoon Sol said, I dilute it properly and do not use it for customers who come with two men.”
“If I share a room with two male guests, I will tell everything to the universe.”
“So does that mean it can be used in the rooms of male and female guests?”
“Mother?”
She responds with a cold smile to her mother’s teasing smile, raising the corner of her mouth.
Only then did her mother stretch her legs and stop laughing, as if she had enjoyed it all.
“Phew, so why? What happened to this perfume today?”
“Ha… That’s…”
I told Da-hye’s story to her mother today, which I heard from her friends.
My friend and her close sister got pregnant after stopping by this motel.
In addition to that, I’ve been hearing a lot of pregnancy news from my acquaintances recently.
Her mother’s expression, who was quietly listening to her story with her arms crossed, slowly changed.
An awkward smile, just like my expression when I was sitting at a café with her friends a few hours ago.
Her mother looks at her perfume bottle on the counter, sweating like a thief who has been caught by the police.
“Uh, so… Almost all the guests at our motel are pregnant?
Are you sure? “They all slept at our motel and got pregnant?”
“Yes, only 5 people I know. Mom, since when did you start using that perfume?”
“Um, about 3 months? No, about 4 months ago…?”
3 to 4 months, similar to the pregnancy period of acquaintances I heard about from friends.
“…”
“…”
We looked at each other without saying a word for a while, smiling brightly.
Mom kept her smile and muttered softly, her face turning pale.
“We are now dead to the universe.”
“Us? Why did I die too? Only my mother died.”
“Don’t do that, my daughter. How can only a mother abandon her like that?”
“You’re in big trouble, my mom. If you make the universe angry, they say no sex for a week.”
A review from Luna, who was recently punished by the universe for doing something big.
‘I thought you would forgive me because the atmosphere was good, but I really feel like I’m going to die… Ugh…’
It reminds me of Luna, who couldn’t touch the universe for a week, and her eyes were drooping.
The universe is so cruel, how painful it is for a saint not to have sex with her master for a week at a time.
Well, since I know that, I guess the universe created such a punishment. No one even causes an accident because they are afraid of punishment.
I did.
“Mom had a serious accident.”
“No, why?! I was the one who told Yunsol to make it, but…
I didn’t even ask you to add that effect! Will Hye-mi believe what her mother says? “
“…”
“Don’t look at me like that! No matter how much I like playing around, I haven’t gone that far!
Ugh, that’s not possible! I feel like I’ll dry out if I don’t have sex for just one day, but what if it’s a week? Off…!”
A mother making a sound that I have never heard since coming out of her womb.
It’s sad to see him scratching his head with both hands with his face turning blue.
“No, why do you think you will be punished? Wouldn’t you rather be praised for finding a way to increase the birth rate?
If not, did all five of my daughter’s acquaintances say that that day was a dangerous day? Could it have been such a coincidence?!”
“Oh my, now you’re escaping reality by saying nonsense, Mom.”
She picks up her bottle of perfume, leaving her mother stunned by the prank she played.
Certainly, there are more than one or two things that cannot be said to be her mother’s fault.
This is a scented liquid made by Yoon Sol, which has been used well by saintly women like me and my mother.
I even heard that Luna used the mihyang she received from Yoon Sol on an ordinary human woman.
But she never heard that she was pregnant or that her ovulation date had changed.
That doesn’t mean that Yoon Sol is immature, and she wouldn’t have played around with her medicine like my mother.
“Hmm…”
Pretty pink water lapping in the faint light.
I guess it would be quicker to ask Yoon Sol and be honest with Woo Joo…
“Oh.”
An amazing idea occurred to me.
If you do it right, there is a way to get things done without even reaching the ears of the universe.
A giggling laugh flowing from the corners of the mouth that naturally rises.
I look back at my mother, who is still smiling helplessly with an expression as if she has lost the world.
“Huh… Wouldn’t it be better to tell the universe the truth? Then I’d be scolded less…?”
“No, no, mom. First, don’t tell the universe.”
“Huh? Why? Then you get punished too?”
“Oh, it’s okay. The universe is not inflexible! It’s not like Mom knew about it. So…”
He leans slightly towards the counter and asks with a smile in his voice.
“Taehee, where are you now?”
* *
“~♪”
The sound of a broom being brushed along with a faint hum.
Get off the elevator and approach the vaguely visible silhouette at the end of her hallway.
The shadow standing against the sunset light streaming in from the window was sweeping away the accumulated dust.
Young and pretty appearance, slim body.
The beauty is that it is understandable that in this world, she lived as a model and made a small living.
But she was a motel cleaner with eyes as empty as burned ash.
She straightens her back and raises her head, probably because she heard the sound of my footsteps.
Then she swallowed something that was in her mouth and bowed her head towards me.
“Whoa… Hello, master…♡”
“Okay, hello. But what did you eat again?”
“Ah… Yes, it’s our customers’ semen ♡ I kept it in my mouth just now, yes, hehe… ♡”
In any case, the sound of a small, ruined laugh can even feel like madness.
She is wiping away her soggy mouth while radiating heat.
“Ehehe, something… Please order me… ♡ Anything, I will serve you…”
She was panting with a red face, with her tongue sticking out of her mouth like a dog,
She was this motel’s cleaner, the prostitute of the ‘regular customers’, my doll, and Han Tae-jun ─
“Yeah, I still have some work to do with you.”
─This is Han Tae-hee.
