Chapter 39 – 7. Getting Closer, Getting Farther Away (6)
There is nothing to enjoy in a small rural town.
7. Closer, farther apart (6)
In the gloomy atmosphere, the conversation centered around Sodam again, and around the time a comfortable atmosphere was formed, the boss came out of the kitchen with a plate full of something.
“I am so sorry, students. It’s nothing special, do you like our students? So I did my best to make this as an apology and service. Don’t feel pressured, eat it, and come back to our restaurant again.”
Good business means this. To respond reliably when a problem arises and provide better benefits while risking momentary bleeding. Loyal customers are made this way. Despite being victims, all of them felt better enough to say thank you to the president.
The boss’s service was substantial, so the four female college students who were already full to some extent packed the service and other food into n portions and left the store.
“Turn it off. Oh, I ate too much. I will gain weight.”
Seeing Sodam stroke his stomach like a middle-aged man, Junhee laughed. No, today, just looking at her and Jessica makes me smile unconditionally. Looking back, Jessica is already talking about the next restaurant with Chaekyung.
“Sister, why don’t you join our club too? Isn’t there a chapi club?”
Junhee also agrees to Sodam’s proposal. She’s been with Chae-kyung for a very long time, and she’s such a kind and beautiful older sister, so being with her makes her feel at ease. Chae-kyung’s side of Chae-kyung clung to Jessica also expressed her approval, and Chae-kyung replied with a smile.
“I am really worried. I’m thinking of joining a scuba diving club with Junhyung.”
“Scuba diving? Hey~ It’s serious. But it doesn’t mean we can’t come in there.”
“That’s right.”
The topic of small talk went over to the club. Well, what about the club these days? The club over there says whether or not they go to the united empty tee, so before I knew it, the bus stop.
“By the way, where is Jessica?”
“They say it’s a homestay.”
“Yes. Ma dad I live with someone I know.”
But unfortunately, her bus was in the opposite direction. She said that it was regrettable to wait separately, so we all crossed the railroad crossing together, and Jessica took the bus first and went home. So-dam also parted ways and went in a different direction, and now only Jun-hee and Chae-kyung were waiting for the bus.
“It’s Junhee.”
“Yes.”
“Are you worried about something?”
Having seen each other for a long time means that you are familiar with your usual appearance, and that means you will notice if there is a change in your appearance. So-dam, who was a little more over-the-top than usual, and Jun-hee, who seemed a little more subdued in her spare time. Chaekyung felt something from the two of them.
“There is, but nothing great. Never mind.”
Trying to deny it only raises more suspicion. And proper positivity becomes a means of drawing a line telling the other person not to ask more than this. Even though they’ve been seeing each other for a long time, Chaekyung didn’t cross that line as the two maintained a reasonable distance. The two of them got on the bus they arrived in, chatting again as usual.
Yesterday, at a drinking party with the professor, we consciously avoided talking about glasses shops. Instead, they repeated asking and answering questions as if they were getting to know each other for the first time, as if introducing themselves. I told her that I had a younger sister who went to the same school and that her mother raised us alone. The professor told me how he got his degree and found a house while working as a part-time lecturer here. We drank a glass each time we plainly told a fact about ourselves. Until I entered university, there were always the same people around me, people I knew, so it was very refreshing to tell people who didn’t know about me like this. Putting aside our worries about Yi-yul for a while, the professor and I just left the store after spending time getting to know each other.
As the taxi pulled up in front of us, the professor put his arm around my neck again. I looked around just in case, but there were no familiar faces, no one caring about us. The lips came close and I didn’t resist. I felt guilty, but I didn’t want to deny this beautiful woman who was getting to know each other better. As Lee Yul said, I must be trash.
Both the professor and I sucked each other’s lips a couple of times without taking out each other’s tongues. Her lips fell and the professor quietly climbed into the taxi. I looked at the back of the taxi going away for a while and looked at my cell phone just in case. Neither Chae-kyung, who was hanging out with her friends, nor Yi-yul, who was not sure where he might be, left no contact.
And today, while walking into the school building with Chae-kyung, I met Yi-yul. Wearing a cast from the tip of his right hand to the elbow, he casually came up to us and greeted us.
“What’s wrong with your arm?”
“I’m a bit hurt. I had some work yesterday.”
Yi-yul turned his head to me, who was anxious for fear that he would tell the truth.
“Lee Junhyung, let’s talk for a minute.”
Unlike usual, when I asked to see me separately instead of Chae-kyung, Chae-kyung looked at me with surprised eyes. Yi-yul explained it as if it was nothing to her.
“It’s because I have something to tell you in advance because of data research and PPT. Because my arm is like this. Let’s talk for a while.”
I nodded and told Chaegyeong to go in first.
From the back of the building, Lee Yul took out a cigarette and lit it. I tried to light it with a lighter, but it didn’t catch well in the wind, so I covered it with my hand.
“Huh. Did you go in well yesterday?”
I’m asking about it while getting hurt. He nods and lifts up his arm cast to show it.
“It’s a compound fracture, so you have to wear a cast for two weeks and receive outpatient treatment for a month. Not to mention the cost of treatment. Did you tell Chae-gyeong what happened yesterday?”
I shook my head. Lee Yul, who knew how to make a living, continued his speech with a calmer attitude than expected.
“I’ll take care of the hospital bills, and I’ll keep my mouth shut even from Chae-kyung. If I tell her, she’ll only get hated. But there’s a condition.”
I guess so. I’m scared. What else are you going to ask for? If you say it’s not for hospital bills and ask for money, I won’t, and should I ask Chae-gyeong to confess? Or would he force himself to introduce another woman, such as Joon-hee, whom he saw last time?
“Don’t interfere with Chae-kyung when I’m researching materials or making PPT. Don’t contact me or her until I call that it’s over, and don’t come near me.”
What. I don’t know the reason for this request. Why? In the meantime, to seduce Chae-kyung? If yes, how much is it? Moreover, this guy already has a dislike for Chae-kyung, so is there any basis for confidence that you can seduce Chae-kyung?
“Dating a girl like Chaekyung and then dating another girl? You fucking need to be punished. She needs to stay away from her girlfriend before she can come to her senses.”
Obviously I was caught doing something that pricked my conscience, but it’s absurd that I’m being disciplined by someone like that. In any case, if you can solve all these problems by just not contacting me during assignments, then there is no reason to refuse. Even if you say group assignment preparation, it’s not a few days, and it’s possible enough remotely. Not only Lee Yi-yul, but when he had work to do with others, he intended to refrain from contacting each other as much as possible. Besides, I don’t know if this is fortunate or unfortunate, but with a broken arm, you won’t be able to use your physical strength.
“Okay, but remember that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want during that time.”
“I never say I don’t like Chae-gyeong. What does she do with her idiot arm in the first place?”
Lee Yul threw the butt on the floor and spat on the floor. A nasty cigarette smell came from him as he passed me.
For the first time since the horrible night at the park, Ga-hye is called by the man again. When I went into the motel room he always called, I saw the same set of cameras and instructions. Ga-hye obediently did as he instructed, undressing her and getting on the bed. Today’s instructions are a little different from the previous ones in terms of posture. Unlike the previous posture, which looked like an animal turning over on its stomach, today, it was asked to kneel on the bed with both hands in handcuffs with a narrow gap. Soon I heard the door open and a man came in and tied the chains attached to the handcuffs to the bar over the bed.
“Did you wear the eyepatch correctly?”
“Yes, Master.”
After that day, Ga-Hye drastically changed her attitude. She still had the same determination to capture this man and take revenge, but the thought of taking the risk with an unattainable fight like before had disappeared. She had to stop this man from getting her whiff and releasing a video of herself. In the future, she pretended to be completely obedient and she intended to fool him thoroughly.
“Today will be a little longer, so don’t look for me in the middle.”
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t know.”
She hears the click of a button to turn on her camera, and a man walks up to her and kisses her on the nape of the neck. Then he brought something to her ear.
“Yes.”
It was an earplug that went into both ear canals. A mask was then placed over the mouth. Of course, she can breathe and make sounds, but her entire face is covered except for her nose. With most of her perceptible senses blocked, she felt the man next to her go down the bed and back up again. The bed vibrated closer and something touched her secret. Something like a leather strap was wrapped around her hips, and something attached to it wrapped around her labia. Although Ga-hye did not have any knowledge of her genitals, she could tell that these were not just clothes, but toys for adults with a specific purpose.
[Weiying]
After wearing it, the part attached to the labia began to vibrate. As expected, it was an adult product in the way it was worn. Now Ga-hye is blocked from all her senses in pitch-black darkness and uninhabited silence, leaving her to focus on the sensations in her lower body alone. Of course there was no way to know if she was really alone now, but she didn’t need any basis for her intuition. She has obviously been neglected, and she has to display her embarrassing figure in front of her camera lens again.
