Part 2 10. The Return of the Holidays (6)
However, Heeyoung’s expectations were spectacularly wrong. At the same time as she got Jun-hee, Kyung-ho was captured by Jun-hee and was unable to flirt with Hee-ju, let alone Hee-young. There was no way Heeyoung wouldn’t have noticed her changed mood, so she knew. A lot has changed since the incident at the water park.
There, her in-laws and Hee-young’s nephew made a promise that was embarrassing to express in words, and Hee-young ran away from the place. Until now, she had thought that the promises they had made were just dirty words uttered in the excitement of sex. But the reality, the reality she faced now in this house, showed that the promise back then was indeed coming true. Although Junhee didn’t really do anything with Kyungho, she could feel it with her skin. From the attitude of the two people and the attitude of Hee-ju, Jun-hyung, and mother toward them, a sense of impenetrable distance was felt.
It’s already mid-autumn, the sun is setting quickly, and it feels like time has passed quickly, but there’s still a long way left until the end of the day. Watching TV in an awkward atmosphere is extremely uncomfortable. Jun-hee, Jun-hyung, and Kyung-ho each went to their own rooms, and only her older sister remained in the living room, watching television with her soullessly. It’s not that he expected to have something like a ‘sex party’ as soon as he arrived, but isn’t this an inconvenience that can’t even be called a break, and is better than working? If I had known this would happen, I would have just gone back home with her family, but I stayed here, pretending not to be able to resist her husband’s offer.
“Would you like a drink?”
“Uh? Huh? “Do you have any beer?”
“Maybe.”
Hee-ju, who could not overcome her awkward mood, spoke to her first. When she says she drinks alone with her sister, Chuseok from a year ago comes to mind again. But Heeyoung did not refuse. If we create a similar atmosphere as last time, maybe the guard will be drawn to their chatter again.
[Chik]
The sound of opening a beer can. It must have been in the refrigerator for a long time, so everything is cold from the surface to the inside. Hee-ju doesn’t have a hobby of drinking, so this is probably Kyeong-ho or Jun-hyung’s. Heeyoung took a big sip of her beer and then sighed.
“… Why?”
“No. “I’m just tired.”
It’s tiring. Because I just drove here after dealing with her brother-in-law a few hours ago. Her husband, Ahn Jong, was driving, but it was just a matter of convenience to be in the car. Moreover, the atmosphere in this house was so bad that I couldn’t rest comfortably, and I couldn’t satisfy my sexual desires as I wanted, so I was dissatisfied with everything.
“How are your in-laws?”
“Well, it’s the same. “My in-laws are good to me… But other relatives are still a bit uncomfortable.”
“Okay? But I thought you were doing well.”
“I’m doing well. But men, you know. “Whether it’s intentional or not, if you’re like my sister or I, you keep staring at me.”
“Ah…”
Heeju closes her mouth and takes a sip of beer instead. She also immediately understood what I meant. Living with big breasts in Korea means having to spend your whole life receiving attention from men, whether you like it or not. They may be said to be relatives, but in reality, they are not even a drop of blood. It’s hard not to feel tired having to feel the men’s sinister gaze with my whole body and yet not show any signs of it and play the role of a good daughter-in-law.
In that sense, Hee-ju was practically not living with her in-laws. Her mother-in-law has never served her, and her father-in-law is something like that. Even before her union, her father-in-law never once interfered with anything she did, and he often demanded that he take care of her sexual desires while earning her money instead, so her usual father-in-law(?) Relationship It wasn’t. So, I can’t help but feel like I can hear Heeyoung’s complaints about her in-laws.
“Now that you think about it, I don’t know if her older sister lives like her in-laws.”
“Ugh… I don’t know…”
“… I’m sorry.”
“…”
Heeyoung didn’t really mean to be sarcastic. She wasn’t being sarcastic, and she wasn’t trying to hurt her sister, but it was obvious how those words would be taken in this situation. The momentarily tense atmosphere between her sisters becomes awkward again, and as she watches TV in silence and sips from her can of beer, she suddenly hears the sound of the door opening behind her.
“?”
Heeyoung turned her head, wondering if her security had come out like last time. However, she saw that the person standing there was not a man but a woman, Junhee, slowly walking towards the living room with a sour expression. It was only then that I noticed the time indicated on the wall clock: 9 p.M. It wasn’t the time for the grown children to sleep, and it was too early for security to come out and grope their bodies.
“Do you want to drink beer too, Junhee?”
“Yes.”
Maintaining her composure, Junhee nonchalantly accepts Heeyoung’s suggestion. Jun-hee takes out a beer from the refrigerator and sits down next to them. She feels relaxed in her movements. Something has become more adult. The atmosphere of a queen who proudly appears at a place where noble ladies are chatting. If the king of this house was Gyeongho, then she was truly no different from a queen. Even though she was older, Heeyoung somehow felt that she was below Junhee, which made her feel a little depressed.
“Junhee is a second year student now, right?”
“Huh. 3rd grade next year.”
An aunt and nephew who do addition as a matter of course. Is there really nothing to talk about between the two that needs to be said so obviously? In the past, we could stay up all night just talking to each other, but we can’t do that anymore, we’re not in a relationship like that. Feeling that fact keenly, Heeyoung took another sip of her beer without saying a word. It would be nice if the stuffiness could be washed away with the carbonation in the beer, but it doesn’t go away that easily.
Before she could even identify what had caused the injury, Heeyoung became completely drunk on her alcohol. As she lay down on her sister’s bed with her support, she felt sad for no reason and shed a few tears without anyone knowing. Why did I come here? What on earth are they doing here? I don’t remember a time when I refused to sleep with a man who wasn’t my husband. She has now become a woman who longs for a man’s touch. No matter how hard she tried to deceive herself, wasn’t the reason she came to her sister’s house impure? That fact makes me even more miserable.
She is a grown woman with a child, crying alone in someone else’s house. She is unsightly. Heeyoung wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and turned over her body. As she hits her sister’s pillow straight up, she quickly comes to her senses. Because she was quite tired, as she already said with her mouth. She says don’t think about anything else, let’s just sleep for today. Isn’t it true that the best way to get depressed is to not think about being depressed? Just sleep without thinking about anything. Although she didn’t get what she wanted, Heeyoung felt more comfortable and slowly fell into sleep.
When Heeyoung entered her room, the only ones left were mother and daughter Junhee and Heeju. How long would it be for her to sit alone like this and talk? This was an inconvenience that went far beyond the level of awkwardness, and if we said something even slightly wrong, it went beyond the level of exposing each other’s secrets and ended up stabbing our personalities with a knife called words.
“…”
“…”
She knows that her daughter mixes her body with her father-in-law every day, but she can’t do anything to stop him. As her parent, as her mother, would it really be right to leave this alone? No, she would tell anyone that’s absolutely not right, but what if you ask her if she has the right to scold her daughter? Junhee and Kyungho still don’t know the truth about her. She had sex with her son’s friend, had fun with her hospital director, and even a Korean-Chinese somewhere in her tried her out. If we stop there, we can say that the single woman sought out men to satisfy her sexual desires, but didn’t she end up having sex with her own son? Does she, Hee-joo, really have the right to blame Jun-hee?
She was not alone in her discomfort. No matter how confident I try to be, even if the other person is a person who deserves the same criticism as me, if I do something wrong, I feel guilty and needles sprout from the cushion I sit on. Maybe the reason Junhee has been trying to stay with her grandfather lately isn’t just because she likes sex. Because when she’s with her grandfather, she doesn’t have to worry about what other people around her think. Because it is by his side that there is no moral self-reflection or feelings of guilt. When she enters a room with the peculiar smell of an old man, she is cut off from the outside world and no criticism or pointing of a finger can reach her. And it feels good there too? There is no reason to refuse. Just as a lie leads to bigger lies, ultimately making it impossible to know the truth, and just as the problem continues to be avoided and avoided until it reaches a situation where nothing can be resolved, Junhee was ignoring herself as she fell into an endless quagmire.〈 Br〉
[Gang]
Looking back on her situation, Junhee felt somewhat resentful, so she poured all the remaining beer into her mouth in one go and put the can down. At the sound of the empty can hitting the floor, Heeju follows suit and drinks the rest of the beer.
“Did you drink it all?”
“Yes.”
“Mom, I’ll clean it up, give it to me.”
The two do not look at each other’s faces. Of course, they don’t even make eye contact. It wasn’t because we hated each other or hated each other, but because we didn’t dare to look into each other’s eyes. Empty beer cans are just passed from hand to hand and that’s how the night ends. Thinking that there might no longer be a harmonious family, Junhee returned to his room.
