Chapter 32 – Sophia, Seojun
When Seo-joon didn’t come to visit in the evening, the housemates seemed to feel lonely for some reason. When Jack found Seo-jun, Ian directly told him why he had heard it.
In the meantime, I thought I was too indebted to dinner, so I decided not to come for a while…
Even when Jack told him to bring him tomorrow because it’s okay, Seo-joon didn’t come.
Ian tried to convince him, but he seemed stubborn. Jack felt sorry for him too, but he couldn’t force him to come. He said he wouldn’t come…
Perhaps it was because the five of them had always eaten together, including Seo-joon, but his vacancy felt very large. The family members quickly chatted about this and that and tried to adapt.
Sophia said it’s a relief that she could make less food for one person – trembling. Even though I missed him from time to time to the point where my heart felt cold.
A few days passed like that.
Chuck- chuck-
Early in the morning, women gathered in the stream carrying piles of laundry and knocking on laundry bats.
It was also very noisy. Even the sparrows chirping overhead said they were noisy, so they flew away and fled away.
But a woman sneaked up from the side and whispered.
“Ian’s mother. Did you hear that?”
“What?”
“That’s it. Seojun is that handsome friend.”
“Yes···? Seo, why Seojunie…?”
The woman examined Sophia’s expression, muttered, “Oh, you don’t know~” And then tapped the clothespin again.
“What, what do you mean?”
Sophia was curious and quickly clung to her.
Perhaps because she was such a chatty woman, she whispered in Sophia’s ear, twitching the corners of her mouth.
“These days, I hear you’re visiting Madame Dumas again. After being absent for a while… The woman must be sick.”
When she said that, Sophia covered her mouth in surprise.
Madame Dumas was a widow who had lost her husband long ago, and was a woman who sold herself to men for money to make ends meet. Since there were quite a few bachelors who took care of her, including Seo-jun, the women in the village didn’t look at her well.
Camilla from the side must have heard it all, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
“Then it is… All kids who grew up without parents are like that. A woman the size of my mother likes something and even gives me money…”
Like a mother… Sophia’s thoughts were put on hold there.
It occurred to me that maybe Seo-joon’s visits to Mrs. Dumas from the old days might not have been just to relieve his sexual desire.
The guy is just… I was just lonely.
I just missed my mother’s arms…
For some reason, Sophia felt pain in her chest and blurry eyes, making it difficult for her to tap the clothespin. After taking a deep breath, the woman next to me just asked if I was okay.
“Yes Yes. It’s okay.”
Sophia smiled and answered, and finished the laundry.
On the way home carrying wet laundry, Sofia thought of Seo-jun all the time.
I thought that the decision I had made for him might have driven him down a worse path.
So I felt bad.
I got into the habit of biting my nails.
After carrying the laundry and hanging it out, Sophia sat in a chair and bit her nails for a while.
My mind wandered somewhere, and I often dropped things. Even while eating, she had other thoughts.
“Honey, where is your mind…?”
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
Even while working the night with Jack, something bothered me.
I kept thinking of the back of a man who was crying and leaving.
Eventually, one day, she visited Seo-jun’s cabin. She had no idea what to do with her visit.
I just walked towards it.
Standing in front of her cabin, taking a deep breath, she carefully knocked on the door.
Bean bean-
“Seojun. It’s me. Sophia.”
There was no response from inside.
She knocked on the door again and called out, but she still couldn’t hear anything from inside. Where is he from early morning…
Sophia, who was thinking deeply, ah…! She shouted and clasped her palms together.
No way···.
She busied her steps and headed somewhere.
Then her steps got faster and faster, and she almost ran until she arrived at Madame Dumas’ cabin.
It was some distance from the other houses in the village.
The fence was on the high side, and the colorful flowers that grew in the flower bed were budding in spring.
Heck heck-
Sophia took a moment to catch her breath, then she slowly opened the fence gate and walked into her flower bed, where she stood in the doorway.
And the moment she reached out to knock on her door, the door creaked open and someone came out.
It was Seojun.
“Uh, Mother…?”
He was standing with his shirt off. Sophia shut her mouth in surprise. No way···!
I heard someone rustling inside.
Ha-am – The woman who appeared with her mouth open and yawned was the owner of this hut, Mrs. Dumas. She was wearing a sheer negligee with her messy hair.
Such frivolous…!
Sophia struggled to turn her head and ran out of the doorway as if running away. But Seo-jun grabbed her wrist.
“Let go, let go…!”
“Mother···!”
“Let go…!”
For some reason, Sophia’s tears flowed out.
For some reason, I really had no idea. But her heart ached, and it was difficult for her to breathe. Looking at Seo-joon’s face in this situation, it seemed like it would be more difficult.
But no matter how hard she tried to shake it off, Seo-joon wouldn’t let go of her wrist. Instead, he pulled her tight and held her in her arms.
“Let go! Let go! Let go…!”
“Go, be still… Stay still for a moment. Calm down…!”
After struggling for a while, Sophia finally stopped, and she couldn’t help but shed her tears, so she started to hiccup.
Madame Dumas, who was standing by the doorway and watching the scene, spat out a word.
“Oh yeah···. You do all sorts of things…”
Sofia, furious at those words, turned to look behind her. Madame Dumas, with her hair up, takes a sip of her tea and she giggles.
“Why are you crying? Sophia.”
“Why, why…! That’s right…!”
Even if I tried to say why, the reason was difficult.
Because Seo-joon spent a hot night with her wife, Dumas, and mixed her body, what should she be angry about-. What is there to shed tears for?
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but nothing happened to us. What Seojun wanted was my arms. Don’t ask me anything, just because I want you to hug me tight. I did just that. Nothing else happened.”
Curiously, the words made my heart melt. Sophia is… And opened her mouth. Madame Dumas looked at Sophia’s expression and raised the corners of her mouth again.
“Now I see, they seem to like each other…”
What, what…? Suddenly, she came to her senses, realizing that she was still in Seo-jun’s arms, and struggled with her. The more he did, the more Seo-joon gave strength and did not let go.
Sophia, who lost her strength, whispered softly, feeling that her heart would explode if she stayed any longer.
“Let go, let go.”
“Yeah···.”
Only then could he barely escape from Seo-jun’s arms.
Sophia took a couple of steps away from Seo-joon’s side and straightened her messy hair. Seo-joon looked at her quietly.
After watching the two of them for a long time, Madame Dumas laughed again and went back to her cabin.
Sophia had no time to care about that woman. Looking at Seo-jun’s bare upper chest, she stuttered.
“Why clothes…?”
In response to her question, Seo-joon said that he had just taken off his clothes to wash, then went back into the cabin and put on his clothes.
He came out and the two stood facing each other again. Sophia was at a loss for what to say, so she stared at the floor for a long time.
In the end, it was Seo-joon who spoke her words first.
“That, Mother.”
“···Yes.”
“Why did you come to see me…”
“…”
I couldn’t come up with a suitable answer to Seo-joon’s question.
His face was hot all over, and the fever didn’t cool down, and he couldn’t control the pounding of his heart.
Seo-jun scratched his head as he tried to keep his fingers twisted.
“Shall I take you? To your house.”
“Uh, yes, yes…”
Again, the two of them walked along the path in silence towards the house.
The distance between the two wasn’t close, but it wasn’t too far either. A distance you can reach with just an outstretched hand.
In fact, her hands brushed against her a few times, and Sophia was aww…! He screamed like he was burned and wrapped his arms around her. Even so, he said that he was sorry that Seo-joon would feel embarrassed…
I didn’t even walk far, but I arrived at the cabin in no time.
The two of them stood in the doorway again for a long time without speaking, only twitching their fingers. In the end, it was Sophia who spoke first.
“That, Seo Jun-ah.”
“Yeah.”
“Oh, what I visited today… It didn’t make any sense. I was just wondering if you’re okay… I haven’t seen you lately That’s why I went for it.”
Sophia barely lifted her head to look at Seo-jun, and made excuses for him.
After saying that, I feel much better.
I felt like I had found the right reason for my actions because of the unclear emotions that were wriggling inside me.
“…”
However, Seo-joon did not answer. With her thick black eyes, he could only stare at her. As if he were trying to see through her insides…
Her face flared up.
Sophia lowered her gaze again.
“Muh, do you have anything to say…?”
When she asked, Seo-jun took a step closer.
Involuntarily, she took a step back. Then Seo-joon approaches again.
She backed her up again, and then her back landed on the doorway.
“Why, why are you doing this…? Seo, Seo Jun-ah…!”
“…”
Seojun didn’t answer this time either. Step by step, she came very slowly.
With each step he took, Sophia’s heart seemed to drop. My breath stopped, and I had nowhere to look, so I hovered over his chest.
Soon, Seo-joon, who had stopped within reach of her hand, reached out her hand slowly to her.
He even held her hand. Her reason screamed at her to shake off the hand, but she couldn’t do it. She just shook her fingertips.
Seo-joon’s hand, which was holding Sofia’s hand, slowly moved to his chest. I spread her palms out, making them touch my firm chest.
Doong- Doong- Doong-
Sophia felt his heart pulsate with her fingertips.
Seojun didn’t say a word, but he seemed to know what he was trying to say.
He was telling Sophia he loved him. I love you so much-, so much that my heart beats like this.
Sophia quickly removed her hand from his chest.
I feel like this will happen no matter what happens. He felt that he would cease to be himself…
“This. I-would you like to go back now…?”
Sophia stammered out her congratulatory spirit.
The woman who put her hands on her chest and closed her eyes tightly was not the usual woman anyone could see. She was scared She was afraid that she would fall apart like this. She feels like giving her heart to him. Because she thinks she will betray Jack-.
Seo-joon, who was silent for a moment, replied, “Yes,” And he left the yard and headed for the trail.
“Hey, dinner…! Are you coming over for dinner…?”
At Sophia’s words, Seo-joon looked back for a moment. He then closed his eyes and smiled, nodding his head.
Sophia quickly averted her gaze again. Her steps receded again.
Sophia, who had been keeping her eyes closed until she stopped feeling Seo-joon’s presence, sat down on the floor as if she was about to collapse.
Hee hee- the breath he had been holding in belatedly burst. His heart was beating wildly, and his whole body was wet with sweat. When I touched his face, it was very hot.
Oh my god···. What should I do···.
She was truly crazy and jumpy.
