85 – Get on a boat (2)
“What, what! Motel?! Did you turn? “We’re not kids anymore, we’re grown adults, so what the f*ck are we doing just the two of us…”
“What a mess?”
Ha, Jaejoong Han let out a small sigh and chuckled.
“It’s not like we’re in a relationship to mess around… More than anything, what do a sick kid and a sick guy do when they meet? “Don’t think anything strange.”
“Then why did you bring me to the motel…?”
Jo A-yoon stopped speaking and touched his head. He still had traces of fever remaining on his body. Loud noises lead to headaches.
“Ugh….”
“Look at this. “That’s because you’ve been screaming since morning.”
Jo Ah-yoon, who was caressing his head, soon realized that not only his head was hurting, but also his neck. Additionally, his legs and arms were stiff with muscle pain. Soon she was able to examine herself.
Her clothes were greatly disheveled. The hood he wore yesterday had even come off, leaving him in underwear.
“What the f*ck!”
Ayoon Jo lifted the blanket all the way to her shoulders and screamed.
“It’s a shame he didn’t do something… Oh, you arrogant bastard! Bad guy!”
“It’s going to spin, really….”
Han Jaejoong also touched his head.
“Don’t scream… You’re not the only one in pain…”
“…?! Oh, did it hurt? “What did I do… To be so violent…?”
“I really forgot everything. “How sick were you?”
Han Jaejoong muttered in a weak voice and threw his cell phone.
A video was playing on the screen.
-Ayoona…? Oh wait, where are you going? Ugh, why is he like that?
From noble mtl dot com
Han Jaejoong, who was operating the camera, looked somewhere and rushed out. Soon the camera showed Jo Ayun in the shower room. Luckily he was still dressed. And this was the problem.
Shoot.
In the video, Jo Ayun was taking a shower with her clothes on.
-uuu….
-Ha f*ck, really… Hey! Hey! What are you doing, you b*tch!
Han Jaejoong roughly placed his cell phone on the shelf and hurriedly approached Jo Ayun. Before I knew it, the screen had turned black and I could only hear sound.
The sound of strong water was still heard, along with Han Jae-joong’s screams of disgust.
-I have to shower… Sweat….
-What a bittersweet story, really…!
-Oppa, I’m in the bathroom….
-Oh my god, take off your pants. Hey!
Jo Ah-yoon, who slowly realized the full story of everything, wrapped his head in a different way than before.
“…Do you understand?”
Whoa, Han Jaejoong sighed deeply and stopped the video.
“I was planning to leave a video in case you misunderstood, but I’m so glad I did.”
I felt a pounding headache and tried my best to think about what I had done last night. But I couldn’t remember him at all.
“Ah… I said I did that…? Well, it’s a lie…”
“I saw it with my eyes and heard it with my ears, but it’s so foolish to deny it.”
Han Jaejoong clicked his tongue. Jo Ayun had nothing to say. He pulled the blanket up to his head. Her face was red before she was covered by the blanket.
“Okay, well, then! “Why did you bring me to the motel?”
“By the time I could wake up, it was already evening, right? “All the hospitals are closed, and all I can do is get a few medicines from the pharmacy… Also, if I were to go to the emergency room, it would already be crowded today.”
A heavy downpour of lightning, there were not many people who could travel through it and be safe. Even though the attack occurred on the outskirts of the city, there were quite a few victims.
The emergency room must be full by now. It was obvious that it wasn’t an emergency because I had a fever.
“It was too far to go from there to your house, and I didn’t know the password to the front door, and the security and hygiene at my house were very poor. The distance was much further. So… I brought him to a nearby motel so he could at least get a good night’s sleep…”
Han Jaejoong licked his lips sheepishly as he recited the story of how he came to the motel.
“This is what happened. “Are you feeling okay now?”
“It still hurts.”
“It will hurt a lot until today. “I am like that too.”
Ayoon Jo slightly lifted the blanket and exposed only her eyes. His clothes were dirty and there were signs of fatigue around his eyes.
“…I’m sorry.”
“What am I sorry about? “It’s sad to be sick, but there’s nothing to be sorry about.”
Ah, Han Jaejoong let out a slight gasp and smiled mischievously.
“Now that I think about it, we’ve seen each other naked.”
“aaah! “You’re such a f*cking piece of sh*t!!!!”
“hahahaha! “We have truly become like family.”
“Don’t use spaces, you bastard!”
Jo A-yoon covered his head with the blanket again. Han Jaejoong’s laughter spread widely, erasing the chirping of morning birds. Jo Ayun’s blush lasted as long as the smile on his lips.
As soon as Han Jae-joong stopped laughing, Jo Ayun made a request in a buzzing voice from inside the blanket.
“I want to get dressed.”
“Yes.”
“Bring me the hood.”
“I understand.”
I brought the clothes as requested. Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard from her as she snatched her clothes from inside her blanket.
“Puha.”
After finishing dressing, Jo Yoon finally took his body out from under the blanket. Her face was still as red as a flamingo, perhaps because she was under the blanket or because she had not yet gotten rid of all her shame. She could hardly see Han Jae-joong’s eyes, and when she turned his head, she muttered sadly.
“…I’m sorry.”
Han Jaejoong chuckled.
“I told you I didn’t have to say things like that. “It’s not your fault that you’re sick…”
“It could be my fault. “I chose it myself…”
Jo A-yoon closed his mouth before speaking. He then saw an iron ball. A cold inorganic body that has become like her mascot.
[What are you looking at?]
“Huh, okay.”
Despite his cold appearance, he had a very hot personality.
“Oppa.”
“Why?”
“Aren’t you going to scold me?”
Han Jaejoong did not know the condensed meaning of those words. Jo Ayun gained star power again. And not in the form of a magical girl, but in the form of a monster.
This was something that Han Jae-joong, who avoided fighting with her, could not welcome.
Han Jaejoong raised his hand towards Jo Ayun, who was looking at him anxiously. Jo Ah-yoon tensed and closed his eyes, wondering if he was about to hit the night. As if all that tension was gone, a gentle hand touched her head.
“Why am I scolding you?”
Han Jaejoong gently stroked his head as if comforting his child.
Though stroking the head was a notorious behavior that women disliked, Jo Ayun accepted the touch strangely calmly. He closed his eyes and gently put his lips together, like a purring cat showing some cuteness.
“I told you, if that is your choice, I will respect it. “My Jo Ah-yoon wants to do it, so why am I stopping him?”
‘I Joa Yoon’, was a word play that Han Jaejoong often enjoyed. It was a phrase he designed to get closer to Jo Ayun, who was often nervous whenever she met him, but it eventually stuck to his lips and he continues to say it even now as an adult.
Jo Ayun did not dislike those words. If someone had used his name to make fun of him, the reaction would have been different. However, the important thing in Han Jae-joong’s words was the ‘joa-ha’ part rather than the play on my name.
It was always like that. He always affectionately called her by her name. From when she was a bullied child to now she is a full-fledged adult.
And as always, Jo Ayun was happy to hear those words.
It was still like that.
She clung to Han Jaejoong’s hand stroking her head, clinging to it.
“Huh? “Why is he like this?”
“If you don’t scold me, praise me.”
If not reprimand, then reward. It was a simple suggestion.
“Ha… I don’t think you would be in a position to call me shameless, right?”
Han Jaejoong smiled slightly and stroked Jo Ayun’s head more roughly.
“Okay, thank you. For saving me. For taking care of me. If it weren’t for you, I really would have died. “When did Jo Ah-yoon, who was always crying, become so brave?”
The rougher hands were closer to grabbing and shaking.
“It’s cool that you lead me now. “You’ve really grown up well.”
“Don’t say that!”
“Yes, you asked for it.”
“Joe, be a little gentler! “You know what it is, right?”
“Because I like things rough.”
“Jill. Oh, it really hurts. Hey, hey!”
“Hey?”
“Oppa, be kind!”
“That’s right.”
After a round of rough touches and warm swear words, Han Jaejoong let go of his head. Jo A-yoon straightened her tangled hair.
“Mr. Woo….”
“It was a mess anyway.”
Han Jaejoong responded slyly and avoided Jo Ayun’s stinging gaze. But that was only for a moment, and Han Jaejoong soon made eye contact with her.
“…Why?”
Jo Ayun frowned and suddenly asked what he was looking at so intently.
“No, for a moment… I wonder if this is really the Jo Ayun I knew?”
“Is it a fight?”
“That’s not what it sounds like. Like I said before, I’m so proud of it.”
“Wow,” Han Jaejoong, who had regained his appetite, repeated what he said.
“I’m so proud….”
Han Jaejoong soon rubbed his face with his hand a couple of times. It was a dry wash mixed with irritation and dissatisfaction.
“Ayun-ah.”
He opened his lips in a serious tone.
“Now you will no longer be welcomed by people. We, who are not humans, magical girls, or monsters, will be suspected and threatened by all of these beings. Therefore….”
Pisik, Jo Ayun laughed.
“Let’s not get hurt? Know. Oppa, I’ve been cursed a lot. “
“No, let’s not hurt each other.”
Han Jaejoong intertwined his right and left index fingers to form a ring-like shape.
“Let us join together as much as possible, as we know each other’s identities and pasts. Let’s save it. Let’s not doubt, never threaten, and always be on the same side. “That’s what I wanted to say.”
“….”
“Now it’s like we’re on a boat that we can’t get off.”
Destiny Community. It would be appropriate to say so.
Two people with belts that can transform into monsters.
Two people who can belong to both human society and monster society, but can also be excluded.
Water that has already been spilled cannot be returned. Even more so if the person holding the cup poured it out himself.
Ayoon Jo’s transformation was something she decided on her own.
I wanted to gain strength, so I got it.
Therefore, Han Jae-joong did not reprimand her, but expressed his solidarity with her.
It was a moment when their bond was created in a true sense, beyond just being seniors or juniors or brothers.
Han Jaejoong folded his hand over Jo Ayun’s hand.
“Ayun-ah. “Where should we open our cafe?”
He took a proactive approach and started talking about the opening of the cafe, which had been a no-brainer until yesterday.
“There are a few candidates… Do you want to go right after you leave the room?”
“First, tell me after you get better.”
“Why~ I’m completely fine now. Oh, by the way, let’s exclude yesterday’s place from the candidates.”
“That’s a good idea. “I think I would be traumatized if I heard birds or lightning there.”
“That’s why.”
Just before leaving the room, the two chatted on the bed for a while.
**
“f*ck…f*ck….”
In a village full of shabby houses, there was someone rushing down that road in the morning. His breathing and gait seemed very rushed.
“Do, please help me! Help me!”
He tried to call someone to help him, but no one came forward. Only the window curtains were closed coldly and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the door being locked.
“You damn…Are you people?! Why isn’t anyone helping me? They’re the same person! Despite being human…!”
“What are you saying?”
His breath caught in his throat and his steps gradually slowed down, and the three people walked leisurely behind him.
Although he had the shape of a human, his head was not human. It looked eerie, as if only the head had been removed from a statue and placed on the neck.
“I won’t help you because I’m a human. I’m going to start looking for someone. How scary is the world these days? “I helped the wrong person for no reason, but it ended up being ruined.”
The person in the center stretched out.
“Wow, I can’t get used to the time difference. “Is it already morning?”
“Eldest brother, what should we do?”
“What can I do?”
He laughed lightly and then approached the man who was running. The man took out a piece of metal from his arms. A look that any modern person would know. It was a gun.
“Oh, don’t come! Do not come!”
“Oh my, uncle. What are you doing. “How can you kill a monster with something like that?”
“I told you not to come!!!”
Bang!
A heartless gunshot rang out, and a person fell.
It was not the person who was shot.
The man with the gun was left lying on the side of the road with his head blown off, and the man with the head of the statue roughly brushing the blood off his shirt stood up.
“Oh, it’s dirty. “Let’s go, guys.”
“Your brother.”
“I understand, brother.”
And then I continued walking the way I had been going.
They were three monsters: Pun, Sail, and Carina.
“We have to find our youngest.”
A monster walking over a corpse.
Because it was an everyday scene in a slum, no one raised any questions or objections.
