96 – EP.5 Swamp-3

***

my house is small

The first house in my memory was 30 pyeong. Probably, I remember when I was in elementary school.

Refrigerator, dining table, TV, piano.

I think my father wanted me to be a pianist.

He even gave me piano tutoring, which was not common at the time.

The second house was 22 pyeong. I think it was when I was in middle school.

Refrigerator, dining table, TV.

The family has grown from three to two.

My father didn’t come home well, and I ate at home alone.

It was really difficult to do housework alone.

The third house was 15 pyeong. I think it was when I was in high school.

Refrigerator, TV.

Rice spread out on the table and ate.

It became unclear where to put clothes at home, so I threw away a lot of the clothes I cherished.

The time to see my father was getting less and less, and I managed the gym to fill his vacancy.

The fourth house is 12 pyeong. It was around the time I became an adult.

refrigerator.

My dad got harder to see, and I continued to manage the gym.

Exercise was fun. If you’re exercising, you won’t even have bad thoughts.

Currently, 10 pyeong. This is the house that my father sent and moved to.

Mini fridge and blankets.

A house that smells musty and has bugs crawling through it.

Out of 24 hours a day, it’s the hardest place for me to be.

It’s like the mold on the floor is eating away at my spirit when I’m here.

Cockroaches lurking under the shelf and under the sink seem to be hiding to bite me.

This is a prison.

I hate going home so much.

What did CEO Inho think when he saw this house?

Did you think that the world you live in is the world of a different lower class?

Wouldn’t it be because I can’t live and it’s a messy b*tch?

My arm itches. It feels like bugs are all over your body.

– buck buck

Raising my short nails and scratching my arms makes me feel a little better.

After taking me home, the boss left abruptly.

Speaking of which, I think Hana would do something to that woman… I hope we don’t meet in person.

What if that fiery fox seduces our boss…

Itchy throat.

– buck buck

I don’t know how many hours have passed since my boss took me home.

1 hours? 2 hours? Or a day?

I think I heard a sparrow chirping in the morning.

But I can’t sleep in this house.

If I sleep in this house, I will suffocate and think of dying.

I feel like something hiding somewhere in the house is about to come out and choke me.

so i can’t sleep

Turning to the front door, I cross my legs and hold on.

I endure even if I am sleepy.

President Inho seems to be busy today, so you shouldn’t contact him first.

The moment I contact her, she will leave me as an annoying woman.

So, you have to wait patiently like a good kid.

Until the boss opens that door and calls my name.

“ah….”

thirsty.

How long has it been since you drank water? I can feel my dry lips parting.

“water…”

Get up quickly and get a drink of water.

“uh…?”

Looking out the window, it’s night.

It must have been morning. It’s dark.

I turn on my cell phone

The day has passed.

I don’t remember if my memory was deleted in the middle or what I did.

You mean I’ve been sitting there all day?

I feel like I’ve been hit in the head with something blunt.

Feeling dizzy, I sit back down on the floor and tap my phone.

As if I was possessed by something, I run Oceania TV.

The boss told me not to broadcast for a while. He said that people who like to play pranks made me a target.

“Broadcast… I have to do it.”

This is a broadcast that the president cared about. If it ends like this, I am very sorry to the boss.

“uh…?”

I see a BJ on a popular channel.

Could it be that the boss was in that broadcast?

Connect with anxious mind.

The donut-shaped ring rotated, bringing up the screen.

[Everyone, don’t be attracted to aggro.]

The woman mediates the situation in a calm voice, but there is a very slight tremor in her voice.

I wondered what was going on, and when I looked at the chat window, the conversation flowed with a feeling similar to what I experienced.

＞＞Looking for a young man: please explain

＞＞Jisin72: Is the community content real? See the post and explain

＞＞1010343221: (Shivering emoticon)

＞＞Shu shu shu shu: lol One gay caught

＞＞Leikag God: hahahahaha

＞＞Vurgin: Got it? can’t you say anything?

＞＞Taking: me

＞＞Tteokbokki Spinach Man: Rock

＞＞ Bean Sprouts Flavor Minchoguk: Me

＞＞ 66 – BB: me

＞＞Lycos: Hell

＞＞The day after tomorrow_236: Go away

Like the zombie monsters in the movies, people burst into chatting with anger.

As the chat window went up at a speed that was too much for the eyes to read, the woman on the screen panicked and didn’t know what to do.

Amidst the raging storm of chatting, a link someone posted catches my eye.

When I clicked on that link, a community post came out, and it was a text with audio attached.

“‘Recent remarks by a specific person have led to accusations against me and attacks on innocent persons.’”

It was the first sentence of the post.

‘Therefore, I’m uploading the contents of the call to prevent unfair victims.’

And the audio attached below.

When the play button is pressed, a conversation begins with a modulated voice.

A voice that clings to the man in a nasty way.

A voice asking for money from a man.

A threatening voice mentioning what the man has done so far.

I don’t say who, but… I think I know whose voice this is.

In the uncontrolled broadcasting environment, the woman ended the broadcast with a firm face.

Even after it ended, the openness of the chat window did not seem to cool down.

The page of the refreshed community is also full of stories about one broadcast.

In just one day, all the stories about me disappeared.

-Kakao Talk!

A message came.

It’s the boss.

＞＞Inho: Mr. Garam, I think the fire has been turned off in a hurry. Take a few days off. Let’s talk a little bit about the center remodeling tomorrow. I’ll go to the front of the house

It’s like magic.

When the boss shakes his hand, all problems are solved.

Problems that can’t be solved no matter how much I struggle and shout, they can be solved if President Inho touches me.

It is a matter of course.

Comparing the boss with trash like me who can’t do anything is wrong in the first place.

What if that boss leaves me?

Thinking that the boss is leaving makes me choke and my throat itches.

– buck buck

The reason why I can continue to run the center is the boss.

President, I can pay off my debt little by little while earning money.

The boss is also the one who gets rid of the people who bully me.

What I eat,

Even if I drink water,

that I breathe,

that I live,

All thanks to the boss.

Without the boss, I can’t do anything, just a piece of flesh.

If my boss leaves me, I am a worthless being who cannot live.

Can’t do without a boss.

The boss needs to be by my side.

It has to be.

so i can live

don’t leave me I’ll do my best.

I will listen carefully and do everything you tell me.

So don’t leave

Praise me, pet me, protect me.

I can’t live without you

please be my father

president…

no.
