Sorry for showing you my ugly side last time. Once again, we sincerely apologize. So please forgive me. Please don’t be disappointed. Please don’t throw it away. Please give me a reasonable punishment.
Yes, I must be a sinful woman for not being able to overcome my ignorant desires and doing things you hate again. deserves punishment. But I will no longer arbitrarily punish you. It’s because you’ve come to realize that it’s something you don’t like.
Therefore, this time, we intend to execute the punishment rationally through a thorough mutual agreement. Below are the candidates I thought of, so please take a look around and tell us at a convenient time.
– Slap your cheeks until you have nosebleeds, beat you with knuckled fists for an hour… … .
“… … .”
Noon on a summer day when the stinging heat winds around the air.
At this farewell party, I promised that I would talk to Dasom no matter what, no matter what, I folded the letter I was reading and placed it on the shelf.
“hey.”
“wait.”
“Isn’t it far away, I have to leave in a little while.”
“Because wait. Can’t you see what you’re doing?”
The appointment time is soon, but the battle between midsummer and the iron in front of the mirror shows no sign of ending.
“Oh really… … !”
“Give me.”
I took the iron that Midsummer was holding. Then he looked up at my face with a dissatisfied expression and opened his mouth,
“I can do it myself.”
“What if you hold it so tightly? I want to burn my whole head.”
Midsummer’s shoulder shrugs as he watches me calmly creating curls using an iron. Perhaps you are feeling disappointed in yourself.
“Obviously I did what I was taught, but why can’t I and only you… … .”
“Where is someone who is good from the start? So I told him to take a picture yesterday.”
Watching him pout and rant, he felt that he was a child.
“hey.”
“why.”
I slowly opened my mouth as I combed Midsummer’s hair.
“Are you really going?”
“Where.”
“Farewell party. If you don’t want to go, you can take a break without forcing yourself to follow. Now that we have smartphones, there is nothing to be bored with.”
“I packed all my things, but if you come and say something like that, what should I do? And what do you do if you don’t go there? It’s an hour or two to be dazed while talking on the phone.”
“No, like watching a movie in a theater or going to a PC room.”
“Is it because you can’t even concentrate when you care? If it had been something you could handle on your own in the first place, it would have been resolved sooner.”
I kept my mouth shut as I couldn’t think of anything to explain. Midsummer, who saw it, smirked as if it was very funny, and then parted his lips.
“Hey, I really don’t want to go?”
The sunken gaze is reflected through the mirror. If you say don’t come now, you really won’t.
But as Midsummer said, I’m a fool. If you try to do it yourself, you may make another ridiculous mistake.
No, more than that, she didn’t want to ignore the decision she made after much deliberation.
“No, thank you.”
“Look, why do you keep asking the same question when you have no intention of doing that? annoying Or what, the answer is fixed, so I just have to answer it?”
Midsummer said with a smirk.
“Oh, you are speechless. Why is it like that these days, someone who has been pouring out words to the point that it hurts his ears?”
Feeling shame as if my heart had been stripped away, I had no choice but to quietly trim the corners of my lips, twisting the corners of my mouth in midsummer.
“let’s go.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Let’s go. If you come and say you don’t want to go now, the answer is already set, right?”
“Did you leave anything behind? Cell phone, change of clothes, spare socks, wallet?”
“yes~. But what if you let it go? I have to go anyway.”
“Let’s go.”
With the midsummer behind me, I calmly opened the door with my luggage in it.
“Heung-heung-heung-heung-heung-heung.”
It took me a while to drag my suitcase next to the midsummer who hummed a bizarre hum like a spell, but when I reached the entrance to the officetel, I was frozen.
“Oh, I was waiting. Yoo Do-jin, Han Yeo-reum.”
In front of you is a black sedan. It was also the highest-end model of a foreign car brand that I had only seen in internet news.
“Uh, ah, are you going for a ride, this?”
Midsummer opens its mouth. Even an outsider like him must have looked luxurious enough to make a million-dollar sound.
“Yes that’s right. Give me your luggage and get on board.”
“Yes, no. I’ll help you. No, if you get a scratch after that… … Uh, so.”
Oh Cheong-myung smiled and took our luggage and loaded it into the trunk. Feeling a little pressured, I opened the passenger seat door.
“Then, let’s go.”
Oh Cheong-myeong and I started the engine after carefully checking that there was no problem with the seat belt that was wrapped around Midsummer’s waist.
* * *
An hour and a half had already passed since the car had left, and I was on the verge of drowning in a wave of awkwardness.
“Pooh-fuu, pooh woof… Hurup, Kehe—.”
It’s been a long time since this summer, who could be a good friend, turned into a living amylace dispenser long ago.
I slept so well yesterday that I didn’t even feel drowsy.
“Thank you for the ride today.”
“no. It’s my job to serve you two.”
Oh Cheong-myung answered with a smile.
“Yeah, that’s taking a long time. Can you tell me exactly where you are going? I know it’s one of Minseo’s villas, but… … .”
“Ah, sorry. After all, you don’t know. I wanted to tell you earlier, but for the sake of a surprise, she told me to keep it a secret until that day.”
“it’s okay.”
“Thank you for your understanding. Anyway, today I will take you to an island owned by the Oh family.”
“You mean the whole island?”
I thought it was a villa at best, a private property at most, but it’s an island.
“Yes that’s right. It came with the previous president when he was in the midst of purchasing the land. At that time, it seems that there were plans to develop it as a tourist destination, but it has been abandoned for a long time due to various circumstances, and now it is being used as a private resort. The current president really likes the scenery there.”
“okay.”
“It’s not that big of an island, but it has all the facilities like a beach or campsite, and above all, electricity is available inside the island, so you can enjoy it without any inconvenience. We also do maintenance on a regular basis.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“thank you.”
Around that time, I decided to bring up the story I’ve always wanted to ask him.
“This is Saddam.”
“It’s okay, tell me.”
“Why haven’t you been with Minseo until now?”
Even after hearing the question that might be offensive at first glance, Oh Chung-myung still had a smile on his face.
“I’ve been in a relationship with Minseo since college, but I don’t remember seeing them even once.”
“Yeah, well, something happened.”
He continued speaking calmly.
“The biggest reason was that she didn’t want to.”
“You mean Minseo?”
“Yeah, she doesn’t trust me. So you don’t even think about relying on it. Somehow, I am now doing this, with the greatest honor, as an apprentice under the young lady.”
Apparently, there was something deep between the two of them.
“If you don’t mind, may I ask what happened? Well, like I said before, I want to know a little more about Minseo.”
“sorry. No matter how much Dojin-sama asks, I cannot tell you that.”
“no. I guess I asked a very private story.”
“it’s okay. Because the young lady is also asking Dojin-nim about various things. You should be able to answer some questions.”
A clear blue sky spreads endlessly through the window. When the clouds that were swimming there blocked the sun, a man named Oh Cheong-myeong opened his mouth.
“I, actually.”
“Yes, you tell me.”
“I have always been jealous of Do-jin.”
“Yes?”
Bewildered by the absurd remark, I turned my head to check his face, and it was so unbelievable that he was the same person I was talking to a while ago.
“So after dinner that day, I was unbearably ashamed.”
“What… … .”
“Mr. Dojin.”
A faint shadow was cast in his eyes reflected through the glasses.
“Take care of your little sister.”
With those words, the man did not open his mouth until he got out of the car.
