Chapter 150 – The Heart of a Whore
Seojun appears and-.
The scuffle, which was about to intensify, ended sooner than expected.
It was because when the drunk man told him to hand over the whore to him because he would give him more money-, Seo-joon slapped him hard on the cheek, telling him to come to his senses.
Jjaaaaak-
The man, who was hit on the cheek and collapsed on the floor, grabbed my cheek, which swelled like blown bread, and looked up at Seo-joon with a bewildered expression.
It seemed like he was sober at once. Or did he pretend to be drunk in the first place? It’s something she wouldn’t know.
When Kubo, who came out of the kitchen belatedly, asked what was going on- Seo-jun explained everything.
Then Kubo snorted and kicked the man out. He yelled out loud, saying, “Don’t think about coming here again.”
The drunk man also screamed something, but no one listened.
In this era, the host, not the guest, was the king. If you twist it, don’t come – this was it. Even if it’s not you, there are many guests.
Well, thanks to that, the uproar quickly ended.
“Are you okay?”
At Seo-joon’s question – Lily was in tears- something rose up and grabbed the hem of Seo-joon’s clothes.
“···Brother-.”
“Why?”
He bit his lips softly.
It was sad. All this.
The only person I can rely on is you. I also thought that if this was the case, I should not have left the village.
If I knew it would hurt like this-, I thought that it would have been better for me to wither there waiting for Ian.
But she couldn’t imagine life without Ian in her life.
As she lowered her head and sobbed softly, Seo-jun opened her arms.
“…”
After staring at his arms for a long time with her eyes wide open, she suddenly embraced him in his wide chest. Then the dam he had endured burst. I cried like a child.
Hey- hey- Hey- Seo-jun silently patted her back.
The men who were sipping snacks and drinks were taken aback by the unexpected new wave, but they did not scream that the taste of the alcohol was poor. It was thanks to Lily’s beauty that was revealed after the hood was removed.
Her face was so pitiful and beautiful as she wept bitterly with tears running down her nose.
Before long, Lily stopped crying, and Seo-jun took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes and under her nose, asking if she had finished crying.
She cried like a child in his arms for a moment, but couldn’t lift her face from the overwhelming shame.
Crying in front of so many people… I just wanted to hide in a rat hole.
Seojun whispered in her ear.
I’ll wait in the bathroom-.
After sweeping his back, he headed there first.
Shaking her shoulders, she headed to the counter to finish her preparations.
I don’t know if it’s because of what just happened, or because she cried pitifully. Kubo asked what he needed with his eyes as if he were looking at his daughter.
Lily asked in a muffled voice. I can’t bear to make eye contact.
“I-I have something I entrusted to you…”
“Thing?”
“That, that’s-. It’s the roots of the red herb and the leaves of the shamrock grass… There are other things-.”
I didn’t mention the last thing, in case I figured out what it was for, like the old man at the pharmacy. However, Kubo’s expression was one of complete incomprehensibility.
“Well-. I don’t know…?”
Kubo showed various items under the counter.
They said that these were items that customers had left behind in exchange for alcohol, and I asked if they were among them.
For some reason, women’s underwear torn in the middle -, a mirror cracked like a spider’s web -, plums that had begun to grow mold… However, no matter how much I searched, there was nothing of her among them.
“All, anything else?”
“If it’s not there, it’s not there.”
“It can’t be! Boo, I definitely left it to you!”
Kubo scratched her beard and tilted her head.
“Who did you leave your stuff with?”
“Mo, Molly… Your daughter Molly.”
Lily said her name before opening her mouth wide as if she had been hit in the back of the head.
Because she flashed back to what she had done during her morning. The last time she saw her stinging eyes…
Could it have been hidden somewhere else? Are you trying to mess with me?
“Molly? There’s no way he’d put it somewhere else… Wait and see I will look for it and come back.”
“Oh no! My, is it okay if I ask? Something misunderstood… There might be!”
“Misunderstanding···?”
Swallowing the words that there could be a misunderstanding in that situation, Kubo pointed to her kitchen with her chin, saying, “Well, let’s talk about it.”
Nodding her head, Lily went straight into her kitchen.
In the kitchen filled with white steam, something was boiling for a while.
Perhaps they are preparing breakfast for tomorrow. In one large pot, numerous peeled potatoes were being boiled, and in the other, corn was being boiled in boiling water. The savory scent made my mouth water.
Lily waved her hand to and fro in her haze of smoke, and she moved forward with frequent strides.
Then, somewhere over there, he heard the sound of her talking and went towards it.
Squatted there was her little dark-brown haired woman, her molly, her her, and her best maid.
When Lily appears, the two of her stop talking and stare at her.
The three stood there for a moment and exchanged glances without speaking.
But the waitress tapped Molly’s arm with her elbow. Then she muttered something to Molly. Then she looked at Lily without answering and Molly nodded her head once.
In response, the waitress clicked her tongue and ran her Lily from top to bottom, woo-! She spit the goo on the floor and left her kitchen. As she went out, she didn’t forget to pack her shoulders.
“…”
Lily shook her shoulders at her contempt.
Even her just prostitute, I have no idea why everyone is doing this to her.
Men like men, women like women. Everything in her seemed to eat her up and make her impatient.
“What brings you here?”
Molly put down the poker she was rummaging through the bonfire, and she stood tall in front of her.
In response, Lily licked her lips and said. She felt that now she had nothing to hesitate about.
“What I entrusted you with. Where are you?”
“I threw it away.”
However, even if the answer that came back was different than expected, it was very different. She was grumpy, so I thought she had hidden it somewhere, but she threw it away…? Did you throw it away…? How did you buy it…?
“Uh, where are you? Where did you leave it?”
“Why is that?”
“Because it’s mine-!”
Lily screamed in a loud, deafening voice.
I wanted to vent my anger several times today. However, the anger that bubbling like deterioration inside did not cool down at all.
It was because the cause was still there.
Even if he got angry and shouted at the most, it was no different from pouring a handful of water on a roaring fire. The flames were still warming her chest.
Monica, who took her Ian away, was still harassing her Ian by his side, and Ian was still playing in her grasp.
Even more so, he himself is on his way to give Seo-jun a butt.
So how can I not be angry?
“Give it to me…! Please give me mine-!”
So how can I keep my composure? How can I bear to burst into anger at a childish person-.
Molly’s eyes widened at the sound of her deafening shouts, and she shut her mouth when she saw Lily’s face as her purr-her shoulders trembled and her tears began to flow.
Then, with her chin, she pointed to the material shed in her kitchen.
“…It’s inside.”
Having said that, she went ahead and went into the storage room, where she took out the things she had left behind.
Status remained the same. She even tied the outside of her in layers with ropes to see if anyone would open it.
Only then did she realize that Lily hadn’t meant that Molly wouldn’t give.
She’s just a fleeting grump, and that she was going to give it away anyway—.
I was really angry with a petty person.
He held it out without saying a word.
Lily took it and bowed her head. She said she was sorry-.
“What, what happened?”
Hearing Lily’s shout, Kubo and his wife entered the kitchen and looked at them alternately. Molly shook her head, saying it was nothing.
Lily apologized—nodding to them—and bowed her head, and hurriedly left her seat.
As if she was running away, she arrived at the toilet.
He slammed the door and sat down.
Tears burst out.
Crying was short-lived.
There was no time. She wiped her reddened eyes with the sleeve of her clothes, took out the objects tied with rope, and undid them.
When the wrapping cloth was opened, the items he had obtained at dawn were revealed.
The roots of red grass, shamrock, and the eggs of forsythia roundworm…
Honey- I swallowed saliva.
She took a deep breath and reached for her hand.
