Chapter 281 – What Should We Do Now?
“Uh… Ha-eun?”
I didn’t really understand the situation.
I obviously finished the audition recording well, showered Soye with praise for doing well, and after taking the kids back to work, I went to the bathroom to run a quick errand.
Why did Ha-eun secretly follow me, bring me into the bathroom stall, and put a leash on me?
“What’s the matter…?”
She asked Ha-eun while sitting on the toilet.
But she was sitting on my lap and lowering her head, so I couldn’t see what expression she was making.
“Hey… Ha-eun?”
“…”
“Is there…Is there anything you want?”
“…”
“I’ll do anything for you, so… Why don’t you just leave? “The company told me to be careful.”
“…”
I’m going crazy, no matter what I say, they won’t listen.
Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?
***
While watching Lee Se-jin watching Shin So-ye at the audition site, Im Ha-eun intuitively realized this.
They said they went one step further.
And that thought naturally led to an impulse.
I also want to go one step further.
‘I don’t want to be left behind.’
I knew very well that Lee Se-jin took care of Shin So-ye better than anyone else.
That would be natural, since they were the first to confess their love and start dating.
Besides, unlike herself, didn’t Shin So-ye really take care of and treat Lee Se-jin well?
‘It goes without saying that Sejin takes the best care of her older sister.’
Lim Ha-eun understood and accepted it.
And she never really felt upset about it.
Even if there is a difference in order, doesn’t Lee Se-jin take good care of Im Ha-eun?
She seemed to take care of herself as number one when Shin So-ye was not around, and she knows well that even when Shin So-ye is around, she tries to take care of her so that she will never be upset.
Therefore, I was able to tolerate only minor differences.
‘But…’
If we go one step further, the story is different.
Without realizing it, the two of you take a step forward, and you become a definite backslider.
I didn’t like that.
So what should we do?
Should I fight with her sister?
‘I absolutely don’t want to do that.’
Even before she met Lee Se-jin, Shin So-ye took very good care of her and her Park Min-ji.
Although she sometimes shows a scary side, before that she is a very sweet and precious older sister.
Therefore, fighting with Shin So-ye was an option that could never be realized in Im Ha-eun’s mind.
If so, she has only one option left.
‘I will also take one step further.’
All she has to do is match the tempo and take it one step further.
If she doesn’t lag, she won’t lag behind.
But… How do we go one step further?
‘That bastard… You called her sister by her name after you made her sick, right?’
The trigger is sex.
I don’t know what he did, but using that as an excuse, his affection went one step further.
In that case, she could just use that trigger herself.
Up until this point, the thinking had proceeded logically and well.
But the problem was next.
“What did you two do back then?”
Lim Ha-eun suppressed her shame in many ways and asked Shin So-ye directly in a whisper in the car on the way back to her company.
“Ugh… I just… Stayed all night?”
“Anything special compared to usual?”
“There wasn’t any. “I just… Really enjoyed it.”
Shin So-ye blushes while saying that.
Looking at that, Shin Soye shook her head.
No, this doesn’t help at all.
There’s no way you can go one step further with something you normally enjoy, right?
It’s not like her sister doesn’t tell her because of her personality, and she probably doesn’t know what the difference is.
‘She won’t find out anything if she asks her sister any more, so what?’
Im Ha-eun looked out her window and pondered.
The trigger is sex, and you have to go one step further.
What should I do?
Should she try like her sister this time?
‘Like your sister…?’
Im Ha-eun is shocked and feels a sense of déjà vu.
I think she came to a similar conclusion and did something stupid in the past.
‘…Okay, why am I acting like you? That doesn’t make sense. I have to do it like I do.’
She is Lim Ha-eun, who imitated Park Min-ji but failed and learned a lesson.
As long as she keeps that lesson in her heart, she won’t make the same mistake.
‘Do it like I do…’
What comes to mind when I think about it are numerous tools.
Among them, the first thing that came to mind was her favorite dog leash.
‘Going one step further…’
That means she has to do things she wouldn’t normally do.
Unlike usual, if there is a twist…
‘…Shall I fill this bastard?’
The moment she thought about it, she wanted all of this.
It was different than usual, and yet something in her began to flutter.
So Im Ha-eun moved.
After arriving at her office, he followed Sejin Lee when she went to the bathroom, pushed her into the bathroom stall, and stuffed it around her neck.
It was an impulsive choice, and she only realized it after she had done it.
‘Uh… What should I do next?’
***
No matter how many times she asked Ha-eun, she just sat still, so she had no choice but to stroke his forehead and slightly lift her face.
“Ha-eun?”
“…Huh.”
Ha-eun’s face was quite red.
Moreover, he was the one who pushed me, but he looked like a lost puppy, thinking that maybe now would be a good time.
Seeing that, I feel like I too have a feeling that maybe it’s a good thing.
“…Ha-eun.”
Before she could ask her one more time why she was doing that, she called her name and hugged her tightly.
If the puppy is confused and doesn’t know what to do, the answer is to pick it up and pat it first.
“…”
Ha-eun calmly hugged me.
He pressed his chest to hers and ran his hands down her back, listening to her breathing right next to her ear.
The rapid breathing, as if a little excited, soon slowly subsided.
“Have you ever wanted to play the opposite way from usual?”
Feeling much calmer, she asked the question again.
It must have worked, as Ha-eun finally opened her mouth.
“That’s not…”
“Yeah, then?”
“I don’t want to be the only one left behind.”
“…Huh?”
What does this mean? Again.
“You and your sister… You and your sister, have you gone one step further?”
“One more step?”
“Okay. One more step. We call each other by our first names now, and you, who always cared for me, don’t care and do things without paying attention. If it’s just my sister, I don’t even care about age anymore, and I just want to indulge myself without even thinking about what’s going on. I’ve gotten so much better that now only my sister is the best. Anyway, that’s how it feels, right?”
It was a little difficult to understand what she was saying because she was talking gibberish, but she listened to the whole story slowly while patting her on the back.
And I thought it over in my head.
One more step, love love, I did it until I fainted, I went further with my sister, and now I’m falling behind.
“Are you disappointed? “For not taking care of me.”
“…”
Well, I’ve been a little less caring for Ha-eun lately…Me?
No, we had a crazy night together in Jeju Island too.
“I’m not sad… I’m not.”
“Then?”
“It’s just that she doesn’t care when you have fun anymore. In other words, I can’t stand her anymore, right?”
“Uhm…”
It’s not wrong, but I don’t think I particularly held back or did anything like that when I was with you.
“When you’re with me, you… Subtly keep the line. Should I say it’s the minimum line… Should I say it starts with me rather than your sexual desires…”
“I?”
“Huh. “Can you feel it all?”
After saying that, Ha-eun quickly added her words.
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but I like it when people are kind to me. It’s all good… Just for now… No, if I say it this way, there’s something about me that’s really bad…”
“I appreciate you being considerate, but there are times when I wish you weren’t like that.”
“That…Beggar.”
Even if my sexual desires run rampant, I try to be a little more careful around kids.
There was a time when I made a big mistake, so I paid extra attention to it, but there were times when it came across as disappointing.
Hmm, learning something new.
‘I’m slowly starting to understand.’
They had fun together to the point where Soye was sick, and even called him by his first name.
Seeing that made her a little jealous, she wished she could be treated like that too…
What Ha-eun wants to say is this.
“Are you asking me to take care of you as much as Soye?”
“…Well, um, um…”
Confirmation is also ok.
Once you understand the situation in your head, the next step comes naturally.
“…Haeun, are you ready for the audition tomorrow?”
“What, are you talking about work all of a sudden?”
“Are you ready?”
“…Huh. Well, I did it all.”
Ha-eun gives a cursory answer as if she is disappointed when she talks about work.
I grabbed her weakened hand and took the rope from her hand. Then, I untied the leash from around my neck and put it around Ha-eun’s neck.
“Uh, huh? “What, what…?”
Ha-eun is embarrassed.
I pulled Ha-eun closer, brought her ear to her mouth, and whispered to her.
“Okay, then I’ll run from now until just before the audition tomorrow.”
“…Uh, huh?”
“I will treat you like I treated Soye, no, I will treat you better than Soye. “You’re confident you can survive without fainting, right?”
Ha-eun’s face turned red at my words and she became quiet.
***
Meanwhile, at that time, inside the practice room.
Park Min-ji, who was sitting and resting, slowly got up and headed outside.
“Minji, where are you going?”
“…What… Are you two doing?”
Park Min-ji answers Shin So-ye’s question in a book.
However, with just that alone, Shin So-ye was able to guess where Park Min-ji was headed.
“I want to ‘play’ too…”
Park Min-ji deliberately emphasizes the word ‘play’.
Seeing that, Shin So-ye approached her and hugged her from behind.
“Minji, just wait a little longer~”
Shin So-ye had already noticed that Im Ha-eun was a little jealous thanks to the question she asked in the car on the way and the strangely sunken look in her eyes.
Therefore, she knew that now was the time for Im Ha-eun to have a one-on-one meeting with Lee Se-jin, and she hoped that Park Min-ji would not interfere with them.
“But… Oppa, these days… I feel like he’s the only one who doesn’t take care of me…”
“No way. “We all had fun together just a little while ago.”
“But… At that time… I was asleep… So I couldn’t… Play properly…”
“Hold on a little~ Let’s give in to Ha-eun just for today, okay?”
“Uuuuu…”
Park Min-ji can’t answer properly, as if she doesn’t like it, but since she’s talking about her sister, she can’t help it.
Seeing that, Shin So-ye thought for a moment and then whispered into Park Min-ji’s ear.
“If you just wait a little longer, I’ll make Sejin do it…”
After whispering for a while, Park Min-ji, who heard everything she said, looked at Shin So-ye with her widened eyes, and Shin So-ye smiled and nodded.
