Chapter 576 – Part 2 12. Black and White (1)
Part 2 12. Black and White (1)
For whom is the current situation really for? There is no end to thinking about who truly benefits. What is certain is that my name will definitely be on the list of beneficiaries.
After the events of that day, my daily life changed greatly. Although my personal life has continued to change rapidly since last year, I couldn’t deny the fact that this was also a big change. After work at school, I go to Chae-kyung’s house, have dinner with her, spend some time there, and then come home or just sleep on her bed. As the number of days I went home became fewer and fewer, my belongings began to increase one by one in the room that Chae-kyung and Ga-hye shared. When I see toiletries, clothes, and other convenience items scattered around Chaekyung’s room, it feels like we’re living together.
However, while I am intoxicated with normal sentiments, one day when Chae-kyung comes home late, I get nervous about where she has been and who she has met. Our unstable relationship scares me and excites me at the same time. It may sound like she’s crazy, but on the days when Chae-kyung kept her secret and avoided my gaze with her face blushing, I couldn’t sleep at night because of the golden excitement.
This wasn’t the end of what I gained. Ga-hye never took the initiative, but when I showed her a subtle interest in her, she would sneak out and come to Chae-kyung’s room, have a drink with her, and then climb on her bed together without saying anything to begin with. Chae-kyung and Ga-hye, to me, they are women who are full of anger. I have enjoyed being with them several times until the end of October.
Gahye had a clear boyfriend, but she didn’t seem to mind betraying him. These days, it seems like she doesn’t seem to be very interested in her friend, who is a common junior. The impression I’ve had for a while is that it wouldn’t be strange for them to break up at any time, but I don’t know the details. I didn’t even want to know. Because the relationship between me and Chaekyung is already complicated enough.
I acted like a child, putting off everything I had to do and playing. He was an irresponsible person who hid all his insecurities under a blanket and spent his days thoughtlessly pursuing only the pleasures he was given. But if I thought about it seriously, my head hurt. It’s not because it’s annoying, but because I get a headache from the reality that I can’t solve it on my own. Chae-kyung, Ga-hye, aunt, mother, Jun-hee, and even Yun-jeong, who is now completely out of my hands. If you harbor a desire to correct the situation, you will collapse under the waves of the world that rush in like a tsunami.
What about competitors? Lee Yul and his grandfather were already like cosmic horrors in this neighborhood, so there was very little chance of them winning if they fought against them. It was impossible to kick out my grandfather just because he was the head of the family, and if I tried to attack him, Lee Yul was a bastard who would chew me up without leaving a single bone behind. Unless you suddenly win the lottery and have the ability to take care of everyone’s old age and give them more than just sex, competition is impossible.
Above all, I had no motivation. They are all slut-like women who have been defiled for a long time. I can’t help but feel the desire to protect it through a painful fight. Rather, I think I would like to see their more obscene side, a vulgar side that I cannot bring out. It’s not a word to use in times like this, but it’s a feeling that reminds me of non-possession. It’s so easy to let go of obsession and just have the mindset to enjoy and appreciate things when you want.
So I decided not to worry anymore. It’s none of my business if Gahye cheats on her boyfriend with me or has an orgy with other men she doesn’t know. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if Chae-kyung had sex with Lee Yul or met Im Gyu-hang without my knowledge. No, Lim Gyu-hang is a bit like that… It is no exaggeration to say that he is beneath the feet of everyone at his school, so even I, who gave up everything, can’t avoid getting my pride hurt. But… If you think about it differently… That Chaekyung is being eaten by a fat pig otaku…
[♩♪♩♬]
It may be crude, but I got an erection. And she was startled. Chae-kyung, who was preparing dinner on her table, suddenly looks in surprise when her cell phone rings.
“Who is it?”
“Uh… It’s Junhee.”
“…”
Although we were open and accepting of each other’s secrets, we still couldn’t hide our awkwardness when talking about our families. Junhee and Chaekyung have known each other for as long as I have, so although we are quite close, it was only natural for Chaekyung to feel uncomfortable when Junhee was mentioned, since she knew that I had that kind of relationship with my mother. Maybe she suspects that I may have done something with Junhee too. And that’s true, so it was best for me to just keep quiet and say nothing.
“Uh, why?”
– Where are you, brother?
“I’m Chae-kyung.”
– Are you going to sleep?
Of course, her family knows that I am dating Chae-kyung again and almost living at her house. Her mother didn’t say anything, and she seemed to like Junhee, who had once been jealous of me, a little. Maybe Junhee liked Chaekyung a lot.
“Well. Should I sleep in today?”
“That’s okay.”
Chaekyung puts the spoon in front of me and smiles. A bright smile that reminds us of the time before we became like this. My heart aches a little when I remember the time when it was unspoiled.
“I think I’ll go to sleep. Why?”
– Halloween is on the weekend. Like last time, we were having a party at Jessica’s house and Sodam asked if I was going to come.
It’s a Halloween party. I remember that foreigner’s house. That day, Chae-kyung, who she had been playing with until late at night, went home saying there was a curfew, and Lee Yul showed me a video of him having sex with a woman. She had big breasts like Chae-kyung and had the same body as Chae-kyung.
“Party?”
“Yes.”
Chaekyung sits next to me and asks while picking up chopsticks. What will happen if we go to a party together this time? I was so curious about that. If things work out the way I hope, Chae-kyung and Jun-hee will be together… No, no. One case of incest is already enough. She managed to restore her relationship with Chae-kyung, but if she found out that she was with Jun-hee, it would be all over.
“Do you want to go?”
– I have to wear a costume this time.
“There is a dress code.”
Chae-kyung shakes her head as if she understands. Cosplay… I think it would be nice to cosplay as a couple and have sex with Chaekyung.
“Tell them I’m coming.”
– Yes.
With those words, Junhee hung up the phone. A cosplay Halloween party held at a foreigner’s house. Come to think of it, that white girl named Jessica also had great breasts, I guess?
And a few days passed without any major incident. Ga-hye wasn’t invited, and she didn’t like the black kid who was at the party, so she didn’t seem to want to go. She said she was going to spend Halloween with her boyfriend anyway, so we didn’t bother to ask anymore.
I tried to find a Halloween costume, but even when I went to college, there was no place that sold or rented costumes. My neighborhood is a rural area with nothing special to see. Still, I thought there might be such a store since there is a university, but I can feel the sadness of the local area.
It was already too late to order online and there was no way we would have any cosplay costumes, so we looked around and found out that the school club was offering to give us theater props that were no longer in use. Of course, it wasn’t free, and since we shouldn’t set a precedent of arbitrarily lending to wealthy people, we sold them for 10,000 won each.
To be honest, I was hesitant about whether I should pay money to buy this. I was a little annoyed by the fact that I had to pay money to bring in someone else’s used mat, something I was planning to throw away, and use it for a day before having to throw it away. However, when I went to look at the clothes with Chaekyung, I was surprised by the quality and variety, which were much better than I expected. Chae-kyung looked at props as if she were shopping for clothes, and I also enjoyed a sort of date by looking at various stage costumes that I rarely see on a regular basis.
The costumes we chose were Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. It was a childish outfit, nothing special. The red cape that Chae-kyung chose at first glance looked like the costume of a fairytale protagonist, but it was more like a T-shirt, with only the outside decorated to resemble medieval clothing. It was so cute that I couldn’t resist the way he played around with it and said, ‘Look at this~’, and I even wanted to buy a few more.
Meanwhile, my wolf prop consists of some strange gloves, a headband with wolf ears, and a gray faux fur overcoat. The fur and gloves had a strange smell, so I promised myself that I would only wear them when entering the room and take them off inside. Still, I’m glad that Chaekyung likes the headband and thinks it’s cute. So we bought two costumes and came back.
“Junhyung.”
“Huh?”
“Today… That…”
“?”
Chae-kyung trails off as she takes off her shoes.
“Do you want to try wearing that?”
“… I have to wear it tomorrow, will it be okay?”
“… Wouldn’t it be okay if I don’t ask questions?”
No answers, just three questions. We looked at each other and laughed. Some people may say that this side of us is pretense or a vulgar act. But we didn’t need others’ evaluation. Anyway, I’m really happy.
