Chapter 63 – Skirmish (2)
“I’m home.”
While Min-ji was running away with Wisdom’s notebook, So-min, who didn’t know anything, arrived home at the same time, skipping the after-school club.
My body felt heavy these days, so even when I did club activities, my body did not follow me well. She was cramped, but thought it was because she was tired, so she thought she should go to bed early at home today.
“Welcome, sister!”
“Are you here, Somin?”
But her thoughts didn’t go far. As soon as her older sister, Han Su-jeong, and her younger sister, Han Se-hee, heard that So-min had arrived, she came to greet them with a smile.
Somin replied with a very displeased face.
“Why are you pretending to be friendly? I’m really disgusted, so please go back to your room as you always do.”
Two fat lumps smirked in her small eyes, and she couldn’t help but feel disgusted. If she was originally, would she notice herself? She didn’t know why the pigs she was supposed to avoid suddenly pretended to be friendly. So-min started to use her harsh words to make her get depressed and avoid her insults once.
However, unlike usual, the two of them were looking at Somin as if they were cute.
“Oh, don’t do that, sister.”
“Right So Min-ah, if she keeps getting angry, her pretty face will be ruined?”
‘What..?’
Seeing the two smiling smirkingly, Somin felt uneasy.
She was already stressed because she had recently been caught up in something strange, and since she wouldn’t let her go even at home, her headaches were coming to the fore.
“No fuck so…!”
In the end, So-min couldn’t stand it and tried to continue her words by swearing at her loudly. She was then
“Grunt?”
Sujeong suddenly looked at Somin and laughed at her pig cry. So-min tried to say that she saw Su-jeong like that and did something befitting of her appearance.
And Somin’s thoughts were cut off there. So-min suddenly lost consciousness and began to stare at the two with empty eyes.
“I really feel this every time I order it, but it’s effective~”
“That’s right.”
Honey was So-min’s control keyword that Ji-hye told Soo-jeong. If Soo-jung or Se-hee uttered this keyword, So-min was supposed to follow the words of the two immediately.
“Didn’t you say we could do whatever we want? That person?”
“Yeah, and if there’s anything you want to do, you can tell me anything. Let’s do it as we please!”
Se-hee, who didn’t believe in wisdom at first, couldn’t help but believe when she saw So-min. Soo-jeong told her the conditions Ji-hye had promised and dragged So-min inside with Se-hee, and she smiled brightly and headed to the kitchen.
“Yes..”
Somin blinked slowly and let out a small moan.
“What was I doing…?”
I remember until I had just entered the house, but the problem was that my memory stopped there.
A large amount of packaged food was placed in front of Somin’s eyes as he muttered a little and opened his eyes.
“What’s this?”
Embarrassed, Somin began to scan the food on the table with his eyes.
Burgers, pizza, budaejjigae, cup noodles, etc., Were placed on the table full of fattening foods that Somin would never eat.
“Sniff sniff… Sniff…!”
In the meantime, when the delicious smell stimulated Somin’s nose, he unknowingly let out his breath and Somin was embarrassed. Originally, there was no way these things would be delicious, but So-min, who learned the taste thanks to her wisdom, began to roar as her mouth watered.
‘Rurrrr”
“No. Please.”
So-min, who feels that her healthy food is disgusting due to her taste modification, is in a state of hunger because she has not eaten much.
In the meantime, being stimulated like this, So-min suffered mentally.
“Hey Han Se-hee! Han Soo-jung!”
Thinking that there were of course only two people who would do such a thing, So-min called out their names as hard as she could, even though they were her older sisters. Then two people in each room opened the door and came out.
“Did you call sister? What’s going on?”
When Se-hee asked as if she didn’t know anything, an angry So-min pointed at the table and shouted.
“What is this all about! Don’t clean it up right now!?”
Thinking that she was clearly trying to make fun of her, she shouted, but Se-hee’s response was lukewarm. Rather, she looked at So-min as if Soo-jeong, who was next to her, was annoyed.
“Why are you so mean to us after you told me to eat it? No matter how you do it, you have to do it in moderation. You’re the king?!”
“What?”
‘Did I order this?’
Even after hearing Sujeong’s words, Somin couldn’t believe it. But at that moment she suddenly began to think in her head that she had ordered these dishes.
‘What is this memory..?’
“Yes, this is Building OO, Apartment OO, and here are two hamburger sets..”
“Yes, this is Building OO, Apartment OO, Building OO. Jajangmyeon is good, right?”
“Yes, this is Building OO, Apartment OO, Unit OO. Can I use a pizza set discount coupon?”
All this food she ordered herself.
Like pieces of a puzzle, the memories of her order began to fit together in her head one by one.
“Uh…Huh?”
So skillfully ordering an order she had never ordered before, Somin ordered and received all the food herself and even set it up.
“Hey Han So-min! Talk to me! What you ordered, let us eat it, is this? Are you really human?!”
Sujeong asked Somin in a voice full of anger, as if she was really angry.
So-min, who had a clear memory of having ordered him to do so, couldn’t refute such a fix, mumbled and shouted.
“I’m sorry! I’ll have to eat it all! I’ll eat and clean it myself!”
So-min’s memories were erased by Ji-hye, so she had no memories of her body, which made it easier to gain weight.
Thanks to wisdom’s suggestion, Somin thought as she took out her cell phone and started taking pictures of the food on the table.
‘You can do it. It’s okay to eat a little bit!’
Not knowing in a dream that if she ate this, she could cross a river she could not return to, So-min opened the first cup of noodles and started slurping them into her mouth.
“..Ugh”
As soon as she put the cup noodles into her mouth, So-min’s body stiffened, and she couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
Extremely salty, spicy and stimulating taste.. This is…
‘Delicious! What is this?!’
So-min, who had only eaten disgusting food until now, opened his eyes wide in shock as soon as he ate cup noodles.
The pleasure that seemed to scan his brain made Somin’s body tremble. Sujeong and Sehee saw that and started smirking, unable to hold back their laughter in a position where Somin did not notice.
‘What kind of taste is this?’
So-min, who has lived a life like a monk due to her aversion to her fat family, but her spirit, which was being destroyed by being tortured by eating, which is the most important item in human life, broke So-min’s will so easily.
Somin’s eyes widened and he started to enjoy the taste as he put it in his mouth as he touched it. All of them were very sweet, salty, and stimulating.
“Ouch..”
With a small burp, Somin stretched back.
From the perspective of others, it still feels like she ate less because of the news, but from Somin’s point of view, she already ate more than usual.
He didn’t know it, but his nose had already turned into a pig’s nose, and it didn’t stop flailing, and a pungent odor emanated from his armpits due to the sweat he shed while eating something hot.
Se-hee and Su-jeong felt an unknown pleasure when they saw So-min’s nose turned into a pig nose. At first, it was a bit of a shock, but I thought that maybe that was also helped by a person named Wisdom.
Sujeong looked at Somin spread out on the chair and said.
“Hey, can’t you see the food? There’s still a lot left.”
At Sujeong’s words, Somin looked at the food on the table that Sujeong pointed to. As Sujeong said, a large amount was left.
“Keew, no more, I can’t eat any more.”
Somin struggled to get up from the table. Then Se-hee pressed So-min’s body back to the table and said.
“What are you talking about, Unni, eat a lot of whoo.”
“That’s right Somin, can we eat more? Huh?”
Sujeong smiled and took a spoonful of her food and brought it to Somin’s mouth. Somin said while holding Sujeong’s arm.
“Are you crazy? I can’t eat any more!”
‘Grumble’
The pear, which had already eaten to the limit, complained of stomach pain and was making noise.
Then Sujeong sighed and she said.
“Grunt, isn’t our Somin nice? Let’s listen until we finish eating this?”
“Ah..”
As soon as Soo-jeong finished speaking, So-min gave up her resistance with her blank eyes and began to gulp the food her Soo-jeong put into her mouth.
So, Se-hee and Su-jeong forced So-min to eat almost 8 servings of food into their mouths, and only after So-min had eaten to the limit, they ate the remaining food and started to decide how to ruin So-min in the future.
“Seeing a pig’s nose, that would be good, right?”
“Yeah, let’s make it worse than us.”
While the two of them were haha, Somin sat at the table trembling, on the verge of regurgitating at the slightest movement.
“A notebook that changes people at will..”
After hearing all of Minji’s explanation, Jimin was looking at Minji with a serious expression.
Minji thought Jimin wouldn’t believe it at all, but he said in a panic when he listened too seriously.
“Do you believe this? Don’t you think I’m lying?”
“That’s why your ass is so abnormal. I can’t believe it.”
At Jimin’s words, thinking that Minji naturally feels that way even for a normal person, she had no choice but to blush.
“Anyway, this is the notebook. But for some reason, I couldn’t open it even if I tried my best.”
After hearing Minji’s words, Jimin carefully took the note and began to look at the cover. No matter how you look at it, it was such an ordinary note that you wouldn’t even think it had such a mysterious power.
“..I really can’t open it. What device does this have?”
Does it take this much force to open a note? Giving enough strength to want to, Jimin muttered a little and looked at the note.
Seeing that Jimin couldn’t open it either, Minji replied in disappointment.
“I don’t know. Anyway, now maybe it’ll be good…”
“..Let’s burn it.”
“Yes?”
Minji, taken aback by Jimin’s sudden words, asked in a loud voice. Jimin looked at Minji’s face, showed him a note, and continued.
“If you open this notebook, you will be able to get your body back, but judging from this state, we won’t be able to open it. Then why don’t we just burn it there and live our lives so that it doesn’t get worse?”
“No, that’s…”
‘It’s easy to say it’s someone else’s business.’
Minji knew that Jimin was not wrong.
If you burn the notes, you can’t undo what’s accumulated so far, but it won’t get any worse in return. The body was in a state of being restored except for the hips, and the hips would have to be reduced through surgery or something, but..
“But… My family… Still treats me as someone who doesn’t exist, calls me ‘Pung Pung’ at school, and I have to undo the ruined lives of the people around me!”
Minji’s loss was too great to simply say, “It’s okay, it’s fine as long as it doesn’t get worse.”
Her mother, who loved her and was always on Min-ji’s side, treated her as someone who didn’t have Min-ji.
She says she is guilty, but she doesn’t get a chance to reveal it first and apologize. Her best friend, Hye-yoon, hates her Min-ji the most in her world.
Another best friend of hers, So-min, could end up ruining her life because of him.
Teacher Yuna said she was a full-term pregnant woman and she knew that it was her real baby.
The things she had lost so far were so great that Minji could not easily give up the notebook.
“A bitch who was at the very bottom of life ruined my life like this! You want me to be satisfied here?! No, I can’t. No.. I want my happy life back!”
As Minji’s emotions that had been suppressed for so long burst out, she started screaming. Jimin just looked at Minji with regretful eyes.
“I can’t sympathize with what you’ve lost, but..”
Jimin carefully began to choose words to comfort Minji, who had burst into emotion.
‘Basseuk’
In the alleyway where the sun was setting, someone made the sound of someone stepping on the sand as they entered the alley where Jimin and Minji were.
“..Found.”
It was a very familiar voice. Min-ji, who was crying with her emotions, slowly turned her head in the direction of her voice as her body stiffened.
“I found Choi Min-ji. And my notes.”
Wisdom looked at Minji and Jimin with bloodshot eyes and said. Her whole body was covered in sweat because she ran all the way here.
“Is that him?”
Jimin asked Minji, but Minji didn’t answer. Anyone could see that Jimin was the owner of the note, but she was just asking for confirmation, so even though Minji didn’t answer, she nodded her head and stepped forward to Minji, she said.
“Are you the one who ruined his life?”
“..What else are you?”
Ji-hye, who had no choice but to hold the note again right now, spoke in short words as she saw Jimin who suddenly intervened.
Jimin smiled dejectedly and answered by lightly relaxing her shoulders.
“What is it? I’m trying to unravel my twisted life. Choose Minji.”
After Jimin finished talking, he handed the note to Minji. Minji carefully took the note and recalled what Jimin had just said.
‘If you open this notebook, you can get your body back, but judging from this state, we won’t be able to open it. Then why don’t we burn it down and live our lives there so that it doesn’t get any worse?’
Should I burn it? Or will you run away?
Instinctively feeling that she shouldn’t let Kim Ji-hye hold her notebook in her hand, Min-ji started thinking about it.
