<Episode 16> Something Like That 2

Is there anyone who will continue to act like a normal person even after going through something like this?

Lectures are passed without listening. It was the same up until here, but today I couldn’t even do anything different. Si-eun’s face, who was running away in surprise, kept glimmering, making it impossible to concentrate at all.

It’s as clear as the memory of blowing a friend in the back of the head.

Either way, time passes. After the lecture was over, I went home.

I was just worried as I walked. How should I face Si-eun? If you ask me, what should I explain? Maybe you’re thinking of quitting your job?

It couldn’t have been sharp. I sat in front of the monitor, sighed deeply, and waited for Si-eun to come home.

About two hours later, the sound of a door lock was heard from beyond the door.

I usually ignore Si-eun when she comes back, but today was different. He slowly moved his feet in front of Si-eun, who took off his shoes, and gave an awkward greeting.

“Um, hello.”

When I greeted without even making eye contact, Si-eun also turned her head and answered.

“… … hi.”

As expected, it was an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Cleaning and laundry are basically non-communicative tasks. If you look at the housekeeping work alone, there are not many cases where Si-eun and I meet face-to-face.

But there was only one exception.

It was meal time.

When he headed to the kitchen just in time, Si-eun was putting food in a bowl.

Is it because Friday isn’t over yet? It is the appearance of changing from going out clothes to maid clothes again.

Even in such a situation, keeping the promise thoroughly seems like a compassionate thing, but thinking back on the previous situation, it only made it more awkward.

That’s right, because what I saw was a video of a woman in a maid outfit.

There was no conversation between the two of them while they ate. Si-eun’s reaction that she always showed was not there today.

Tension is usually relieved during meals. When your stomach is full with delicious food, you feel at ease. Right now, isn’t it mealtime when Si-eun and I talk the most?

But now we were rather rigid.

Because of the suffocating atmosphere, the rice I just ate seems to be on top. After I finished eating, I immediately got up from my seat… … .

“there.”

… … I was going to, but Si-eun spoke up.

Bring your body back to the chair.

“Uh huh.”

When he answered with a crawling voice, Si-eun hesitated and followed.

“Today, what happened?”

Are you asking for an explanation? I thought I might get angry, but it seems like I’m giving it a chance.

Then you couldn’t miss this chance. I decided to make excuses based on facts.

“Well, that’s what happened when a friend sent me the address as a joke and opened it… … .”

“If you’re a friend, are you talking about him?”

“It’ll be the kid you think you are.”

Si-eun said, “Men are real.” ‘ he muttered and sighed.

“That’s when I came in, right?”

After thinking for a while, he shook his head.

“no?”

“If I had closed it as soon as I opened it, I wouldn’t have been caught by you. That, what, the maid clothes the woman was wearing caught my eye… … .”

“What?”

Si-eun’s face was instantly colored with astonishment.

“Are you really like that?”

“Oh, no. It’s not a matter of taste or anything like that. I thought that maid clothes might be accepted as a slightly special outfit.”

For some reason, the more I continued the story, the more I ended up digging my own grave. I’ll just say it’s right. Honesty is sometimes poison. Today, I realized the truth again.

Si-eun, who heard the bell, folded her arms and bowed her head.

What will happen now? Sinners have no words. I kept my mouth shut, waiting for the criticism to come back.

As if to be so stiff, Si-eun slowly opened her arms.

“Sorry.”

He uttered an apology.

“I’m sorry?”

I was taken aback by the unexpected apology. When asked in confusion, Si-eun said, combing her hair with her fingers.

“okay. Well, your room is basically your personal space. You opened the door without knocking, and you saw that scene.”

He seemed to have lost his composure, unlike usual, as he stuttered words.

At a glance, Si-eun had her eyes closed. Her cheeks also looked a little reddish. Like me, Si-eun, who unintentionally witnessed the harsh scene, was also very shy.

“Such a video… … Even if you weren’t looking at For example, you might have been changing clothes. Anyway, I wouldn’t have thought that I would be seen by others, but that’s because I went in like this.”

Si-eun seemed to reflect on her own.

Of course, Si-eun also has a weight when it comes to right and wrong. Do not enter another person’s room without knocking. This is one of the basic etiquettes.

If not today, it may have happened someday. It was like that when I came to the room with a snack, but Si-eun’s boundaries and vigilance are blurred.

However, it is not Si-eun who should apologize in this situation.

I bowed my head.

“no. It’s my fault.”

When I looked up, I saw Si-eun raising her head.

“Anyway, you live in the same house with a man. Even if it’s in my room, I’d be worried if something like this happened. I should have been careful.”

I was careless. I moved my mouth and replayed the words in my mind.

‘it’s okay. Judging from your usual behavior, it doesn’t look like you’re going to get anything bad.’

Si-eun said something like this and decided to come and live in our house.

Even if they looked down on me, in the end, they believed in me and decided to live in this house. It was my fault for creating a sense of insecurity.

But Si-eun waved her hands.

“no. Even if I just knocked… … .”

He shook his head as if to cut off the words.

“I should have been careful.”

“no… … .”

Si-eun muttered her words and then bit her lower lip. It felt like an expression of great guilt to me.

For some reason, it seemed like they were apologizing to each other over and over again. It turned out unexpectedly well, but that’s not the end of the story.

I was stuck in a deadlock with no answers, and then Si-eun opened her mouth, caressing her chin.

“Then let’s do this.”

a stiff face Perhaps Si-eun had made some kind of decision.

As soon as we met Si-eun’s eyes with the feelings of the defendant waiting for the sentencing, Si-eun’s judgment came out immediately.

“Take it blank.”

That’s a really great conclusion.

“Are you just going to move on?”

“I don’t mean to just move on.”

Si-eun pointed her chopsticks in the air.

“If both you and I are at fault, what, isn’t it better to do better in the future?”

“Forward?”

“okay. For example, every time I enter your room from now on, I knock every time I go into it.”

“Can’t you come in?”

“There’s nothing you can do when you’re bored.”

what is unavoidable

“On the other hand, you… … .”

After saying that, Si-eun stopped using her chopsticks.

“I don’t watch pornographic videos in the future.”

“Well, yes.”

“Is that a face you don’t like?”

“My face is like this.”

I replied like that, but Si-eun somehow said, “Ummm…” made a sound If you don’t want to see it, why don’t you believe it? If it hadn’t been for my friend right now, I wouldn’t have been able to see such a video.

After a while, Si-eun spoke hesitantly again.

“Are all men at this age interested in lewd things?”

“Well.”

I don’t know if that’s all. Besides, even if I knew, would you be able to answer me? It’s difficult for me to have a conversation even on ordinary topics, but to talk to a woman on such a topic. It’s too heavy.

But Si-eun frowned as if she was dissatisfied with my answer.

“Then that’s it.”

“yes.”

“Are you interested in naughty things?”

“… … What?”

It was a more difficult question to answer.

Why are you asking this? curiosity? worry? Or are you just kidding me? If you look closely, you can’t read what’s inside. On the contrary, it looked very expressionless.

“Well. I don’t know.”

“You don’t know your heart?”

“You may not know.”

“I can’t.”

They don’t seem to want to let go until they get an answer. What do you mean by asking this?

well done With this in mind, I decided to tell a very basic story.

“I am a man too. I would be lying if I said no.”

Isn’t that what a human body is?

Just as the heart cannot stop with the will, there is no way for the body to react. That in itself is not wrong. It’s just a matter of how you express it.

Si-eun shrugged her shoulders as if she was a little surprised, but nodded her head.

“I see.”

“Um, well, yes.”

Again, it’s hard to talk like this with a woman.

He took an empty bowl and put it on the sink. Si-eun kept her mouth shut as if there was nothing more to ask. It was fortunate. Because I want to run away from this atmosphere as quickly as possible.

I walk to my room with peace of mind.

“Yes, you.”

Si-eun summoned me with these words.

It was a voice with a very slight tremor.

“Why again?”

As she turned around and asked, Si-eun said while covering her chest with her arms.

“You can’t look at me and think about lewd thoughts.”

“… … .”

I laughed out loud at the ridiculous request.

Looking at me like this, Si-eun shot her eyes with narrowed eyes.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Well.”

Looking at Si-eun pouting her lips in response to my answer, I headed back to the room.
