Chapter 1150 – Guilt and Immorality Are One Piece of Paper Apart (1)
Spending the night with Yeji Han.
As planned, I stayed home for two days without staying out and took care of Seo-yeon and Ye-jin, and on the third day, I left home again to stay out.
I had to spend time with Elena again tomorrow, and in addition to that, I was getting more and more in touch with the two models who were trying to close the distance between themselves and the two married women whose children were now out of school.
‘. I’m doing this because I like it.’
Sometimes I wonder if I’m too busy living a life that could allow me to spend more time.
Of course, I knew from experience that if I lay around at home thinking about such things for a day or two, I would start thinking about women again and come out, so I just thought about it and ended it.
Since we have children at home, we don’t suffer from frustration, but how can people live only by eating home-cooked meals? I have to live by eating out often.
‘In reality, the only thing I can’t eat is home-cooked food.’
Although the food I thought about earlier was different from the food I thought about now, Seoyeon, Yejin, and Minah had no interest in cooking, so the only opportunity to eat home-cooked food was when they stayed at Elena’s house.
Maybe that’s why Yoo Eun-seol and Lee Jae-kyung. Even when I visited the houses of two married women, I always got food from them, and I also got food cooked by Hye-soo or Hye-yeon.
And even now. With the excuse that it had been a long time since I had eaten home-cooked food, I was on my way to get a meal that Ji-eun had personally prepared.
It’s a little late in the morning now.
Before going out on a date, we made an appointment to have a meal together at home and then went out, and were heading to Jieun’s room.
Since they were both attending college in the Seoul area, their homes weren’t far from each other, but the college itself wasn’t that close, so there was little chance of getting caught even if they were meeting secretly.
‘. If you get caught, it might be fun as long as you get caught.’
However, it was too much of a hassle to secretly visit Hye-soo and lead her into a situation during her date, so she didn’t use her hands that far.
Thinking like that, I stood in front of Ji-eun’s living room and rang her doorbell,
Dingdong-
“Wait a minute-!”
The sound of fast approaching footsteps was heard beyond the door, and the door burst open with the sound of the door lock being unlocked.
“You came quickly?”
“It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. Of course, I have to come quickly.”
“Oh.”
How nice to see you. When I saw her slightly leaning out from the front door to say hello, I also took a step towards her and lightly hugged her, and she was pulled into my arms with a small exclamation.
Ji-eun’s cheeks blushed with an embarrassed expression a little late, as if she was a little late in understanding the situation, but she quietly leaned in without trying to escape from his embrace.
“It smells good. Is it kimchi stew?”
“. Yes. Last time I called you, I told you that I was eating kimchi stew and grilled mackerel, and you said it would be delicious.”
“So, you remembered that and did it just like that? Our Ji-eun, there is no such thing as a wise mother and good wife.”
“Ah.”
If it had a tail behind it, it would have shaken it vigorously. With an expectant expression on its face, I praised it and patted its head as if I were handling a puppy.
I thought it was a little shameful for Ji-eun to praise her for being a good mother and good wife even though she knew she liked me, but she just looked shy and happy and didn’t know what to do.
“Then, shall we go in?”
“Oh, yes.”
As she spoke, loosening the arms that were hugging her back, her eyes looked a little regretful, but she quickly adjusted her expression and answered.
Then, she went into the house together and sat down at the table, and the dishes started to come one by one, probably because they had already been finished.
As I said before, grilled mackerel with kimchi stew. And even seasoned bean sprouts and egg rolls.
These were all things you could easily eat at a restaurant, but the ones made at home definitely had a different feel.
“Hey, did you do this all yourself?”
“It wasn’t all a lot of work, but it didn’t take long.”
Although she was speaking as if it was nothing special, her eyes were sparkling with anticipation, as if she wanted to be praised quickly.
“Where.”
Looking at Ji-eun’s expectant gaze, she first took a spoonful of kimchi stew and tasted it. She paused for a moment, pretending to taste it.
“Hmm. Is it delicious?”
“Really?”
“Of course it is. It’s much better than eating at a regular restaurant.”
“Ha, thank goodness.”
I guess I was nervous that people might say that it wasn’t good. She let out a small sigh as if she was relieved and her smiling face was quite cute.
In reality, it felt a little more boring than eating at a restaurant, but the clean taste was the taste of home-cooked food that you can’t get at a restaurant.
And not only the kimchi stew, but the rest of the dishes were clean and tasty enough to be considered standard home-cooked food.
I thought it was overly simplistic, but thinking that she was good at cooking made Ji-eun seem like a more attractive woman.
“Wow, it was a good meal. Thanks to Ji-eun, I had a delicious meal for the first time in a while.”
“It really wasn’t that big of a deal, but I’m glad it was delicious. I’ll make it again next time.”
“Okay, okay. If I want to eat again, I’ll come find Hye-su secretly.”
“…”
After her meal, while the atmosphere was getting warmer, Ji-eun’s expression hardened slightly at the words she said as a joke.
Because she was greedy, she met Hye-su secretly, but it seemed that her conscience was prickling inside.
“Don’t take it too seriously. Hye-soo gave permission anyway. Her friends could secretly play a prank on it.”
“Yes, but.”
After I actually did it, I feel sorry, and it seems like I can’t help but feel jealous.
Since Hye-soo first cheated on Ji-eun and started dating me, she wouldn’t have felt sorry even if she was a little shameless.
Because her personality was so gentle and kind, it seemed that ‘a little’ was difficult.
“Anyway, if I get caught, I’ll apologize as well, so don’t worry too much. It’s just the two of us meeting for a long time. It’s even more damaging if you only watch people’s opinions and don’t enjoy it.”
“Yes, but.”
“You don’t have to worry. Now, come here.”
To lighten her mood as the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, she walked around the table and sat down next to Ji-eun, wrapped her arms around her shoulders and gently held her in her arms, stroking her hair.
After doing this, she seemed to feel a little better, and as her expression softened slightly, I kissed her lightly on the cheek. She seriously considered leaving it like this for a while and going back to the main room, but then gave up her thoughts and retreated.
Jieun’s cheeks were slightly red, as if she was also slightly looking forward to it, but she didn’t ask for more, probably because she wanted to enjoy the date before entering the room.
“Then, shall we clean up and leave?”
“. Yes.”
After feeling a little relaxed, she cleaned up the table and opened the window to let her air out, and then we left the house together.
And, when she walked towards me with her arms crossed first, I leaned on her shoulder with a bright smile on my face, as if I had never felt guilty.
It may be a bit of a prick on his conscience, but he had a personality that was easy to deal with as he liked me so much.
* * *
Although my conscience was greatly pricked by the words “Hye-soo’s secret,” It was still a happy thing to be able to monopolize the person she liked.
The reason she asked Choi Min-seok out on a date in the first place was because Hye-soo was also dating her brother in secret, so she thought it would be okay for her to be greedy like this.
Choi Min-seok also seemed to understand his feelings and naturally accepted the date and even comforted himself when he felt guilty.
‘I really like it…’
I feel sorry for Hye-su, but I don’t think she can give up her love for her brother.
Even if you feel depressed because of her sorry feelings, your mood will be relieved with just one hug, and you will smile brightly with just one fold of her arms. How can you give up your heart?
That said, she didn’t think of taking her brother away from Hye-su again, but she felt like she couldn’t give up on seeing her brother without Hye-su’s knowledge once like this.
In fact, all she said was that she was considerate of herself. In the end, it was just a trashy act of dating her lover’s friend without her lover’s knowledge, but it was probably a good thing in a situation where the bean was already used.
It’s a relationship where sex is allowed anyway. Wouldn’t it be okay for a date?
She was able to naturally relieve herself of guilt thanks to the excuse she came up with, not for herself, but to defend Choi Min-seok’s actions.
“Hanging out together like this reminds me of the old days.”
“Are you thinking about the past?”
“You know, when we first met, he came up out of the blue and asked for my number. I said, ‘Give me my number!'”
“Well, at that time.! I was so anxious.!”
“When he gets drunk, he suddenly asks if I don’t look like a woman and asks if we should go to a motel.”
“I don’t know.! Stop talking.!!”
Her face turned bright red, and she covered her mouth as a memory suddenly came to her mind as soon as Choi Min-seok said it.
Until now, I had completely buried it in her memories. After hearing, it directly from Choi Min-seok, there was no such dark history.
Taking someone’s number was a bit embarrassing, but not a bad thing, but confessing out of the blue while drunk and even talking about motels was a line that was crossed too far.
It seemed like I would have to kick off the blanket before going to sleep for a while.
Even though there is no one around, it is very mischievous to say something like this in the middle of the street.
However, seeing that even this mischievous personality was felt well, it certainly seemed like it was written very firmly even with the bean pod.
“. I’m not allowed to talk about this from now on.”
Although I wasn’t conscious of it, the shame of having dark history brought out without hesitation had blown away all the guilt I had left.
