Chapter 95 – What happened when I got back (Part 3)
The morning light that peeped through my curtains woke up. Behind my back, I could feel a familiar warmth and touch.
I wonder when she got back.
Min-jeong was holding tight from behind and was asleep.
‘She ca.’
It seems that as soon as she got her wits about her when she woke up at Hyun-ji’s, she quickly returned.
I approve of that kind of behavior and it got rid of so of the anger from last night.
But I can’t just let this go because of that.
I carefully loosened myself from her and got up. I got out the bedroom and tried to sleep so more in the guest room bed.
But then a while later,
Kik.
In that gap, Min-jeong woke up and ca in and quietly laid down next to .
Without saying anything, she inserted herself into my arms. I’ve done wrong, please forgive , an expression full of aegyo.
“……”
“……”
We didn’t say anything.
I couldn’t quite grasp the words I was supposed to say.
The slightly heartless decisions I had been thinking of won’t co out of my mouth.
Then Min-jeong says sothing.
“Oppa.”
“Yeah.”
“I ssed up.”
“……”
Min-jeong struck first.
“But please listen to my side. It’s not an excuse. I really am sorry. But please listen.”
“Okay.”
“That guy last night is 20 year old Kim Min-suk.”
“He’s young. Are you gonna to say you had no idea that a guy like that has a mad crush on you?”
Just you try and say you didn’t know. A girl with noonchi as keen as you would never not know.*
(TN: Used in an earlier chapter. Noonchi is the idea that you can read the mood. I don’t know that there is an English word that is equivalent to it. In Western terms, I guess it can be called emotional intelligence or considered sothing you would see in a high context culture.)
“I did know. I pretended not to.”
“And?”
“I pretended not to know but my cooking school friends kept trying to hook up with him as a joke. They kept saying things like ‘I think he likes you, try calling him,’ stuff like that.”
“Those bitches.”
“That’s what I’m saying. Last night’s drinking party, they brought him to it without knowing. I was flustered but that’s no excuse to just up and leave either so I just forced myself to stay.”
“Is that why you drank until you blacked out at a place where there was a guy that had crush on you was?”
“I’m sorry, oppa. It was the first ti drinking in a while and I couldn’t gauge the amount I could drink. I won’t ever put it to my lips again.”
Min-jeong was asking for forgiveness for all the parts she had done wrong.
“But those girls just left you alone with him and took off?”
“I’m sure they did it all just for fun. I deleted all their numbers. I won’t ever hang out with them again.”
“Why on earth did they do that?”
“They’re probably jealous.”
“Jealous?”
“Last ti when you ca to pick up, they were all really jealous. Not only that but Min-suk is really popular at the school too and he likes so they probably chalked it up as a joke and did it.”
“Sounds about right.”
Just because they were jealous, they were going to break up another couple and call it a joke?
“Girls are just like that. Ji-hyun and Hyun-ji aren’t like that which is why we they are close friends.”
Now that I hear it, it wasn’t wrong that Min-jeong felt resentful and like she was wrongfully accused about this.
She had always tried to keep her distance with Kim min-suk and that lted my anger.
Aside from Min-jeong’s heavy drinking last night, there wasn’t really anything she did wrong.
‘Yeah, from her perspective, I can see how I made a big deal and got angry over a small issue.’
I had co back after an entire year.
I had been fighting for my life during that long period of ti. And to co back and see everything that happened last night just infuriated .
But for Min-jeong, we went from doing great all this ti and suddenly our relationship was on the rocks in just a day.
“Min-jeong.”
“Yes, Oppa.”
“Do you think we just don’t sh?”
At that, Min-jeong must have gotten nervous because she started hugging tighter.
“I know you are trying hard to accommodate and to match my preferences. How could I not know? But I can’t give you that sa amount of attention.”
“That’s not true, oppa.”
“I can’t say but there are tis now and again when I will have to leave for work. It is such hard work that I have to give it my all. That’s why……”
“……”
“So when I am back here, when I am with my girl, I just want to be happy and comfortable. I don’t want to worry and I don’t want to stress. I guess this makes insincere and inconsiderate.”
“Don’t say that.”
“I feel you have to go through hardship because you have to match a person like and I’m sorry.”
“I’m not suffering or anything like that. I have never felt disappointed in you, oppa.”
“…… Really?”
“Yes.”
Min-jeong wiggled over onto my other side and looked at straight on.
“I won’t want for more. I’ll be happy just spending this ti like we are. I’ll try harder. So that you’ll be more comfortable.”
That instant, Min-jeong’s eyes could not have looked prettier.
I t my lips to hers.
Upper lip, bottom lip, we kissed softly and I pulled her close. A soft touch.
“Oppa.”
“Yeah.”
“The wish?”
“Wish?”
“Yesterday, you said anything……I was so excited from looking forward to it.”
I exploded in laughter.
I laid her down and got on top of her.
“Do you know what my wish is?”
“What is it?”
“Not stopping.”
Min-jeong’s face grew a bright red. We kissed again and I took off her shirt.
“Until I am satisfied, I won’t stop for anything.”
“Do what you want oppa.”
Min-jeong’s eyes lit up as she hugged my neck.
I don’t know how long it was.
The curtains were closed and there was no clock, so I couldn’t tell where the sun was.
For that long while, so much so that even I felt tired, we made love.
Ding dong~
She must have been exhausted because Min-jeong, who had fallen asleep on my arm, woke up from the text alarm.
It must be a girl’s instinct.
Min-jeong reflexively grabbed the smartphone by her head.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Hyun-ji. She’s worried about .”
“Tell her you’re okay.”
“Yeah.”
I don’t know what Min-jeong found to be so funny because she smiled giddily as she sent the text.
I peeked over at it.
[I lost my mind twice today heehee
