Chapter 65 – Prelude to Collapse (1)
1.
It’s a very tiring morning.
Hyunwoo opened his eyes and frowned at the loud sound of his cell phone alarm ringing.
After trying to soothe and soothe Hyeji, who was suffering all morning, the fatigue that hasn’t gone away due to sleeping late is pressing down on her eyelids.
“Ha…”
Hyeonwoo sighs and turns off Hyeji’s cell phone alarm.
Because she changed her working hours from morning to evening, my morning sleep has been interrupted for the past few days.
She was especially sleepy today, so she was irritable, but she tried to suppress it and shook her by the shoulder.
“Honey, it’s 9 o’clock. You should get ready to go.”
However, the person who set the alarm has no intention of waking up. No, it seemed like he didn’t even have the energy to get up.
She showed no reaction with her pale face. She put her hand under her nose just in case, but luckily she was breathing.
“Are you not going to work? Can’t you get up?”
“Ugh… Oppa.”
I shook her once more, and she barely answered in a barely audible voice.
If I wake up now, will I be able to go to work safely?
I had a similar thought before I went to sleep, but I ignored it, thinking it would work out somehow. I didn’t know that my still young and fresh body might show miraculous recovery ability.
However, looking at the way she looks now, last night must have been quite difficult for her body to accept.
“What are you going to do? If you don’t think you can go, at least contact the manager.”
“Ah…”
Even in her sleep, Hyeji moaned briefly as she thought of her manager.
She didn’t know what kind of harsh criticism she would receive if she even showed up late without notice.
She has a gentle personality that is extremely reluctant to cause trouble to others, and a sense of responsibility that she does not want to cause any more trouble.
She tried hard to come to her senses, squeezing her tired body.
“You have to go… You can’t go if you don’t.”
“Really? Then, um… I’ll put some water in the bathroom bathtub. Do you want to lie down a little longer until I come to wake you up later?”
“Ah… What time is it?”
“It’s just 8:30 now. I think I can soak myself in some warm water and then take a taxi.”
Hyeji carefully considered her time and nodded her head. Even though it was a waste of money for the taxi fare, she seemed better off that way.
Anyway, it’s a pretty luxurious morning. It was like waking up on a multi-million won mattress that I had laid down for the first time in my life, and it was like taking a bath as soon as I opened my eyes.
Something she couldn’t even dream of if it were her own room.
It dawned on her how different her brother’s world was from her own.
As she was tossing and turning in the comfortable softness, she heard her brother walking back.
Perhaps her bathwater is ready for her. Before her brother opens the door, she stands upright.
“Ahh!”
However, he was unable to take a single step due to the sharp pain rising up his buttocks and he collapsed.
“What’s wrong?”
“Ugh… My butt… It hurts. I think it’s a little torn.”
“Oh… I’m sorry. Can’t walk?”
“No, no. If you walk slowly, you can walk. I was just surprised. It’s okay.”
Hyeji comforted Hyunwoo, who was worried, and smiled as if nothing was wrong.
As her brother said, her first experience was definitely painful, and her previous first experience was just as painful as it is now.
Moreover, if you think about it, isn’t this a trace left by love last night? She said she dedicated her first time to her brother, and that she was her brother’s first anal sex partner in his life.
The words her brother had told her flashed through her mind just before she fell asleep.
Hyeji said that just as you were clumsy because it was your first time, she was also clumsy because it was her first time fucking her back hole. When she watched porn or manga, she didn’t think it was a big deal because she watched it like it was nothing, but she didn’t know it would hurt her this much.
My brother repeatedly apologized for being impatient and blamed himself for being intoxicated.
He held her as a pillow and stroked her until the moment she closed her eyes, so she couldn’t be rude to someone like that as soon as she woke up.
“I’m really sorry. Please hold my hand and walk. I’ll just make breakfast while you take a bath, so let’s eat breakfast and take medicine.”
“Medicine?”
“Ah, yes. I got some antibiotics when I got hurt a while back. Furthermore, I also have anti-inflammatory medication, so I think I can take that too.”
Hyunwoo suddenly remembered the medicine he had put away in a corner. Various antibiotics prescribed after plastic surgery. He didn’t know it would be used like this, but he was glad he left it behind. It would have been nice if I had fed him and put him to sleep yesterday as well.
He swallowed her disappointment and led her to her bathroom.
The whirlpool spa bathtub with hot water massage function is equipped with bath salts in advance.
“I took a shower yesterday, so don’t shower and go straight into the water. Is the temperature right?”
“Oh, yes. Oppa, but what is the hole in the bathtub?”
Instead of answering, Hyunwoo turns on the bathtub’s whirlpool function and LED lights. She intended to melt not only her body but also her heart with a luxury she had never experienced before.
Jiying – Woowooung – Woowooung –
“Wow. Awesome. What is this? Water just comes out of the bathtub. Wow, there’s even light.”
“Hot water massage. I’ll set a timer for 30 minutes, so come out when it’s over. The water temperature will remain warm.”
Hyunwoo shrugged his shoulders and said that this was nothing. Of course, inside she was giggling as she looked at her with wide eyes.
Even if we live in the same civilized society, the world we live in is very different depending on whether we have money or not.
And things that are more refined and luxurious are always the object of awe and envy. She opened her mouth once more, expressing gratitude for her poverty.
“If you try it and like it, you can do it again later night. It’s okay for you to come over anytime from now on. You’re my girl.”

After she finished speaking, he placed a light kiss on her lips as she soaked herself in her bathtub. Looking at her lips that had suddenly turned red, I thought that she was still young.
“… Oppa.”
“I’m sorry. And thank you. It wasn’t an easy decision, but for following along. As I said yesterday… I guess I lost my sight for a moment because I wanted to have at least one of my girl’s first moments.”
“No, no. Me too… I was glad I could give it to you. I love you.”
Hyeji shook her head and comforted Hyunwoo once more.
While she was asleep, her brain did its job well. I somehow forgot about her excruciating pain, and the rationalizations I repeated to endure that pain came back vividly.
For that reason, Hyeji was feeling a bit of relief right now. Although she lost her virginity unexpectedly, she feels relieved that she still has another virginity to offer to her boyfriend.
“I’m glad you said that. No matter how rough I speak or act… There will be no one who understands and loves me as much as you do. Did you forget that we decided to go to the department store later that night? I’ll come pick you up again when I’m done.”
“Oppa…”
Words and eyes that soak her body as warmly as the current warm water. The cunning plan to cover up her yesterday’s atrocities was transformed into her love and deceived her soul.
It was enough to overshadow the still bitter pain beneath her and make her smile.
A bright smile appeared on Hyunwoo’s face and Hyeji’s face as they looked at each other.
2.
Hyeji walked out of her store slowly, as if there were weights hanging from her legs.
She promised her brother that she would make sure to eat her lunch and take her medicine, so unlike usual, she heads to the oatmeal restaurant instead of the convenience store.
She was still full from the banana shake and fried eggs her brother made for her in the morning, but she had promised.
There was no one by her side again today as she walked.
Because of her timid personality, she was unable to approach her first, and because the three seniors she was already working with seemed friendly to her, she was hesitant to join the group, making her an isolated island.
There is a timing for people to become close friends, and she missed that timing.
It felt strange to be friends with her now that a week had passed, and she had no desire to do so.
The manager who strangely gets on her nerves and the bad people who treat her as if she doesn’t exist, all she has to do is follow her brother’s words and tell them to get out of the way first. Because I have an older brother.

[Lunch today! It’s beef and vegetable oatmeal hahaI’ll definitely take the medicine you gave me♡♡♡]
KakaoTalk –
[Hyunwoo is my destiny♡: I thought it was time to eat, so I was waiting for a call from honey! Be sure to pay your bills later with the money I gave you! Because it’s the lunch I bought!]
[Ugh!!!! I will do it♡ I will enjoy it haha thank you!!!!!!!!]
The 50,000 won that my brother gave me to take a taxi still remained after paying the taxi fare.
He even gave me 100,000 won at first, but he said it was too much and returned one piece.
Even though the clothes I was wearing and the watch I was wearing gave me some trouble before, I feel like my brother’s spending has significantly increased since yesterday.
From casually giving away 50,000 won to a necklace that I decided to buy that night.
Now that he has revealed that he is the owner of the building, does this mean there is no need to hide it anymore?
Of course, it was all Hyunwoo’s plan to encourage her subordination, but Hyeji, who had no way of knowing this, smiled with an unknown sense of pride.
And there was one more fact she couldn’t know.
Even at this very moment, her colleagues are putting her on her chopping board and pounding her hard.
At Hyeji’s store, where she was away, a heated debate was going on about her.
“The new guy is wearing the same clothes as yesterday, right?”
“I thought so? You said her boyfriend came to pick you up yesterday. Did you stay out?”
“The manager said she took a taxi in the morning. She used to walk, so she must have slept at her boyfriend’s house last night.”
They gossiped about Hyeji’s outfit being the same as yesterday and then naturally moved on to talking about her boyfriend.
“Jiyoung, but I heard her boyfriend is so great?”
“… Ah, yes. I was completely surprised when I saw it. It’s so fucking awesome.”
“Wow… I’m curious… But why is a guy like that dating her?”
Jiyoung shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t know, but another colleague next to her opened her mouth.
Yesterday too, he was a colleague who criticized Hyeji as a fox.
“I told you so. Guys that look like that are perfect at seducing men. I guess you could tell just by listening to the manager.”
“Admit it. But if you find out, isn’t that guy not your boyfriend?”
Jiyoung watched the flow of conversation and smiled awkwardly. The trend led by the manager, saying that such a girl should be caught in her early stages, has become a trend.
As if they had found some vitality in their boring daily life, everyone took part in the bullying in the name of educating arrogant newcomers.
“Your boyfriend… Must be right? He greeted me and said he was my boyfriend…”
So, she was able to say something about herself that went against the current trend.
Jiyoung remembered Hyeji shyly handing her chocolate yesterday and chose to ignore her situation.
It was her conscience not to actively participate.
She was a child who couldn’t talk from the beginning, so I couldn’t tell, but she didn’t seem like such a bad girl.
“Huh. I don’t know. If I find out, they might be like sex partners.”
“Wow, sex partner. But isn’t that really the case? If he’s that respectable, she’ll meet a prettier girl. Hyeji’s skin is nice, but she’s not respectable.”
The story soon moved on to sexual topics. Jiyoung hesitated before opening her mouth as people started whispering about how strange Hyeji was walking today and how much she did yesterday.
It was Hye-ji’s fault, but she wanted to defend her because she thought it was too much for her child who couldn’t say anything.
“When I asked him what it hurt in the morning, he said it was menstrual cramps.”
“Ah… But who walks around so proudly when they say they have menstrual cramps? Huh, so even though you had your period yesterday, did you do it with your boyfriend?”
“What, it’s so fucking funny. It’s so dirty, really. I’m going to eat later, so don’t talk about that.”
They cackled and opened their mouths again. Despite Jiyoung’s small efforts, Hyeji’s suffering also became a laughing stock due to her youngest child’s blunt words.
“She thinks she keeps her periods to herself. She’s not saying you shouldn’t mess with her because she’s sick, but it seems like she’s trying to make it worse on purpose.”
Ji-young ends up shutting her up as her help only adds fuel to the fire and the intensity of her gossip increases.
The first sunny day of May.
Despite the cloudless weather, the dark clouds over Hyeji’s future became increasingly thicker.
Hyunwoo’s malice towards her and the world’s malice interlock like her gears.
Her world surrounding her was collapsing little by little.
