42 – one chance (4)

Song Soo-yeon arrives at the store early in the morning.

It was six o’clock, and the sun hadn’t risen yet.

Even though I spent a longer time in front of the mirror than usual, I arrived early.

Is it because of the memory of the previous day? I wanted to see Jung-gyeom soon.

After hovering in front of the store for a while, she finally makes up her mind.

…..I would be happy just to see his sleeping face.

Unlock the door of the shop that has not yet been opened.

-Tiririk!

Open the door and whisper

“…mister, I’m here…”

“Oh.”

As soon as Song Soo-yeon enters the store, she freezes at the sight she sees.

Jeong-gyeom was not asleep.

He was exercising with his shirt off.

Standing on his hand and bending his arms, he stands up on his feet when Song Soo-yeon appears.

Sweat dripped from his body, making his body glisten.

Song Soo-yeon was unknowingly captivated by the sight and hardened.

I didn’t expect that his body, which was always teased for being fierce and stupid, would be like that.

I didn’t know you could be that manly.

There must have been something hardened by the shock.

Soon after, Jeong-gyeom stood up and turned his back.

Looking at his wet back, Song Soo-yeon swallows saliva without realizing it.

he says.

“That…sorry. It would be embarrassing to see something like this.”

“…………”

“…Soo Yeon-ah? Would you like to go out and wait for a while?”

It wasn’t until after hearing his request that Song Soo-yeon wake up.

Without replying, she slammed the door behind her and came out.

-Titling! Tethering…! Tethering…!

The bell on the door rings repeatedly.

Leaving the swinging door open, she leaned against the store wall and slid down.

Then he grabbed his blushing face.

“ha…! ha….!”

Then, without realizing it, Song Soo-yeon exhaled the breath she had been holding back, calming her raging heart.

In fact, it was the first male bare body I had ever seen.

Until now, I had only seen it as a picture that passed by once in a while through my smartphone… but I didn’t think anything of it.

It was the same even though countless women cheered in the comments.

There were times when I wondered if I was not feeling the obvious emotions.

But just before, as soon as he saw Jeong-gyeom’s body, his heart raced.

This was the first time I saw a man’s body and thought it was beautiful.

…..Something I want to see again and again.

“…Are you a pervert…?”

Song Soo-yeon muttered to herself.

At that moment, an image flashes through Song Soo-yeon’s mind.

It reminds me of myself with lustful eyes I saw in the mirror.

He probably still had that look.

“Whoa… whoa…”

Song Soo-yeon took a deep breath.

I can’t show that expression to Jeong-gyeom.

Never.

If he saw himself like that, he would surely be disgusted. So before he came out, I had to suppress my emotions.

But it didn’t take long for him to put on the top.

“…Soo Yeon-ah.”

Before I knew it, Jung-gyeom opened the store door and poked his head out and was calling for her.

“Hick..!”

Song Soo-yeon trembled and turned her head away from the direction the voice came from. I had to hide my face.

Jeong-gyeom’s voice echoed from the back of his head.

“Why are you here so early?”

“…that’s…that’s… no…”

She wasn’t sober enough to answer. He was now frantically trying to hide his disgusted expression.

“Why are you sitting down again?”

“……..So….”

Jeong-gyeom seemed to be talking calmly, but Song Su-yeon knew that he was restless.

At this awkward moment, he couldn’t find the right words to say.

“That…sorry.”

In the end, he apologizes.

“……yes….?”

“…It must have been a shock, especially to you.”

Jeong-gyeom knew how much she feared and hated men. Based on that fact, even Song Soo-yeon could tell that he was apologizing.

But he had no reason to apologize. It was she who entered the store in the first place.

…Besides, to her surprise, she didn’t hate the sight, so he had no reason to apologize.

“…Ah, no. It was my fault for coming in…”

“Anyway, it shocked you.”

“…Chu…I wasn’t shocked.”

“Even if you say things like that…”

“…………”

There was no excuse for him. I will make excuses and show my face.

Not now. My face is still burning and buzzing. Her wet lips were still shining.

“Ph…give me some time. And since you’re not at fault…”

Jeong-gyeom stopped quietly as if thinking for a moment before speaking.

“sorry. And thank you for saying that. I… will be waiting inside. Come in when you calm down.”

Then he went back into the road shop.

But even after he entered, it took me a long time to erase the body I saw earlier from my mind.

****

Song Soo-yeon quietly slipped into the store and sat down.

“…have you calmed down?”

I asked. Song Soo-yeon silently nodded.

….of course I didn’t do anything wrong, but I’m sorry for shocking you. It must have been a disgusting sight to her, who still hated men.

She had told me that the sexual assault on her body was relentless.

Since I showed my bare body to her who was in such pain… I can only guess the shock she must have felt.

I should be a little more careful.

“…Mister, do you usually work out at this time?”

Even so, she does not avoid the subject and asks if she is trying to hide the shock she felt.

“yes. It is a habit.”

I also answer calmly for her. Making a fuss here only makes things worse.

“….therefore? Why are you here so early?”

“Just. I opened my eyes quickly…”

“……”

But as expected, I couldn’t overcome the awkwardness of catching up. I guess I should avoid this place.

It wasn’t that there was nothing to do anyway.

“…Soo-yeon, I haven’t washed up yet…”

“ah…! yes…!”

“Originally, I was going to go to the bathroom, but since you came out, I can go home and wash up. Shall I quickly wash up…?”

Song Soo-yeon, like me, seemed to need time. She also nodded at my words.

“Yeah, do that.”

“Okay, then I’ll come. Boo…the lights are on.”

So, I turned on all the lights in the store and hurriedly left.

She, too, will be able to calm the shock.

*****

“…..under….”

Song Soo-yeon sighed. The fault was only his own, which made Jeong-gyeom feel sorry.

I can feel the consideration for myself in his way of speaking.

It was you who saw the body, but you even apologized.

How many emotions had to be suppressed for that consideration.

If he accidentally saw her naked body… no matter how much she loved him, she would start screaming in embarrassment.

Really, no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t seem to be able to change the big picture of my personality.

As for my heart, I feel sorry for him and I want to apologize honestly.

I want to praise her for saying that it was her fault that appeared from early in the morning without saying anything, or that she had no objection because her body was so cool.

However, her personality, which has been a barrier for a long time, cannot be easily changed, so she could not convey any honest feelings.

Some parts were terrifying. She had never expressed such positive feelings, so I was afraid of how he would react. I never learned how to express my feelings like this.

Failed, better not to try.

Also, in certain parts… Personal judgments were also included. Like his own expression in the mirror, he might be disgusted. He said that this kind of feeling was burdensome… he might be disgusted.

Seeing her body and saying she’s pretty… From her point of view, it was nothing more than sexual harassment.

So, thinking about the incident in the morning, Song Soo-yeon puts her head on the table. My head was too complicated.

– Tiring.

At that moment, the door opens and a bell rings.

Song Soo-yeon got up in surprise and looked at the door.

“Pa.. you came quickly…”

Song Soo-yeon’s breath stops. The thrilling feelings I felt until now also subside.

Emotions sink deep and become something muddy.

“Suyeon-ah…?”

It wasn’t Jeong-gyeom who entered the store.

It was Solas, wearing a hero suit and covering her nose and mouth.

Song Soo-yeon asked, frowning involuntarily.

“…Why is my sister here…?”

“Ah, the store sign was up… and I came because I had something to say to my older brother. brother is?”

I don’t like her from the first chapter.

That ‘cum brother’ title keeps bothering me.

It’s like spitting out an unspoken argument.

It seemed like I was bragging that I was much closer than you, who called me ‘Mister’.

Why are you pretending to be so friendly when you haven’t met for a while?

It wasn’t the only thing that bothered her.

“why?”

Song Soo-yeon asked defensively.

“What are you talking about?”

Solas scratched her head and smiled. In reality, his mouth was covered, so only his eyes were bent into half moons.

“Ahaha… I had something to say to my brother… to thank him.”

Song Soo-yeon hides her sinking heart. She recalls without difficulty what happened between Solas and Jeong-gyeom the day before.

I knew that Solas’ gratitude was all related to that.

“…I went out for a while because I have business.”

“Oh yeah? Do you know when it’s coming?”

It was only after washing… It probably wouldn’t take long. But I didn’t want to say that.

“You don’t know? But maybe it will take a long time?”

“….I see.”

Uncharacteristically for Solas, her mood sinks slightly. Even if I didn’t read my mind, I could tell that I was disappointed.

And Song Soo-yeon didn’t like that.

“I will tell you that my sister has come to thank you. My sister seems to be on her way to work… I’m going to work quickly.”

I wanted to send Solas away before Jeong-gyeom returned.

Solas hesitated. It seemed that he had something else to say.

Song Soo-yeon grew annoyed every second Solas was here.

“….why?”

Song Soo-yeon asked in a voice that was very faintly annoyed.

Just thinking about that hug from the previous day made my skin tingle.

He didn’t get angry because there was no justification, but his anger and hostility towards Solas had already peaked.

Solas said hesitantly.

“…Um…I wanted to give it to you with my own hands…is there anything else you can do?”

Song Soo-yeon gritted it. I don’t like everything Solas does.

What does Ji mean to deliver something with my hands?

“…..What was I trying to give you? Leave it. I will pass it on.”

“Will you…?”

After thinking for a moment, Solas nodded.

He takes something out of the pocket of his tight hero suit.

“braided!”

With a brightened expression, Solas showed off a piece of paper.

“This is the ballpark ticket I got…. Give it to my brother.”

Solas approached and placed the ticket in Song Soo-yeon’s hand.

“……”

Song Soo-yeon looked at Solas’ gift.

There were two tickets to the baseball field.

It was not difficult for Song Soo-yeon to infer why there were two copies.
