59 – The Darkness Has Come

Rank rattle.

“I expected it, but there is no end to it.”

I am working hard with the feeling of being possessed by my busy part-time job days as I have to take care of cleaning up after the barbecue party and washing the dishes due to losing the bet with Sujeong.

After intensively washing the grill, which is covered with meat and grease, which are the hardest to clean, he is washing away the pile of dishes one by one.

Before tidying up, Kang So-yeong tried to help with the work that seemed to be more than expected, but Su-jeong stopped it by saying it was a bet, so she was punished properly in the end.

It was a bit sarcastic to tease her a little more than usual, perhaps because she was excited after the trip, but I also made fun of Sujeongi when I won at the movie theater, so I accepted it thinking it was karma.

Instead, I was determined to win in any event next time. After all, betting is best when you win.

“Wonwoo, is it all over now?”

Soo-jung came up from behind with her clear voice and playfully put her back on her back.

It seems that he came to appease him because he was worried that this request might upset him.

Even though I think it’s nasty, I really can’t hate it because of this.

But remembering what had happened to her, and thinking that she had to respond to her pranks with pranks, she decided to take advantage of the situation.

“Oh, do it.”

When she answers with a blunt tone that excludes emotions, which is not her usual tone, Sujeongi quickly comes to her side and looks at her.

“Are you angry?”

Sujeongi’s red eyes trembled as if she was slightly anxious and asked me.

“No. Than that splashed water. I’m out.”

Worried that the crystal might splatter on her clothes, she warned her but didn’t make eye contact with her, killing her emotions as calmly as possible, she said.

“… You must be really angry.”

As if my clumsy acting worked well, Sujeongie still looks relaxed, but Sujeongi’s face is a bit tense.

“Because it’s not.”

“What should I do to make Wonwoo feel better? Should I do this?”

After saying that, he went behind his back and hugged him tightly from behind.

If you’re a man who’s been in trouble all day today, you can’t help but feel the touch of that piece of flesh on your back.

Perhaps I would have gotten to this point normally, but I don’t intend to give in easily at this moment.

“Sujeong-ah, it’s uncomfortable. I haven’t finished washing the dishes yet, so stay over there.”

Still responding with a sullen tone, he slightly pushed Sujeong away.

As if shocked, Sujeongi became quiet for a moment, then came back to my side and looked up at me and said,

“Wooong, Wonwoo. I was wrong. Can I not be angry? I’m sorry Sujeongi teased you so much. Look at each other and talk, we. Yes? Saying that makes Sujeong very sad.”

Sujeongi’s way of speaking is full of unexpected and excessive aegyo. He seems to be full of traces of trying to release his anger somehow, where he learned from.

“Poop.”

It was unreasonable to postpone Sujeongi’s cuteness any longer. A laugh erupted spontaneously from his mouth.

On the other hand, Sujeongie didn’t know what to say and showed a slightly embarrassed face.

“hahahaha, Sujeong-ah. Could you wait a minute?”

After talking kindly to Sujeongi as usual, I quickly washed the few remaining dishes, put them on the drying rack, and finished by tidying up the area around the sink.

Then, after wiping the water from his hand, I turned around and reached out to Sujeongi’s shiny silver hair, who was waiting, and tousled his hair.

“Ouch!”

“Ahh, Wonwoo. What are you doing?”

Sujeong screamed and asked at my sudden action. But this woman in front of her is so lovely that she can’t stand it.

“It’s because it’s cute. Didn’t you know that my girlfriend was such a cute person? She was pretending to be angry to tease her, and she looked precious.”

Only then did Soo-jeong realize the truth about her.

“Oh, I thought you were really mad! I was very worried!”

“Ah, why am I so angry about something like that?”

“That’s right. Wonwoo-nim is not the kind of person who would be angry at me for something like this….”

Still, Sujeongi was relieved to think that it was nothing special.

It seems like you can see through a man’s heart, but on the other hand, since it’s your first dating experience, you’re paying attention to the little things and revealing your cautious side little by little.

Well, I can’t say I’ve had a proper relationship because I’m the other person, but since I’ve had experiences accumulated over the years, should I say that I’m more relaxed than Sujeong?

From that point of view, I am grateful for the pure affection Sujeongie shows and it seems more lovable.

“Actually, I was really worried. I heard on the Internet that couples often fight when traveling together.”

“That’s right.”

Sujeong-i talks about what she was worried about a while ago. I had to agree with that opinion to some extent.

Not only couples who break up after going on a trip, but also couples who get married and get divorced as soon as they return from their honeymoon.

“So I remembered seeing how to release my anger at such times, so I did it….”

Sujeong-ie, covering her face in embarrassment, must have felt a bit embarrassed now.

“Before going to the cinema, he said strange things he learned on the Internet at home. You’re learning how to write about love, girlfriend.”

The reaction was funny, so I couldn’t stand it and made fun of it right away.

“Oh, it can’t be helped! I don’t know how. My heart is in a hurry again. It just popped into my head!”

The way he is flustered while flapping his hands is so cute that his heart hurts.

Kang So-young, who was sitting on her sofa and watching her from afar, also has an interesting face on her face.

For her, it probably feels like a romance movie or drama that you can actually watch up close.

“Well, isn’t the charming Sujeongi not bad?”

At that, Sujeongi quickly shook her head and refused.

“No! From now on, I will never do it again. I’m such an arrogant woman. Sometimes it’s like this in front of Wonwoo.”

“Okay. I don’t know, hahahaha.”

When she deliberately denies Sujeongi’s claim, she sticks out her mouth and acts like a pout.

“Chi, stop teasing me! I won’t be paying attention anymore after I’m teasing you!”

After Sujeongi said that, she turned around and went into her room.

“Whoops.”

Kang So-young covers her mouth and laughs after her Soo-jeong disappears.

Her face with such an open smile is rare, so I looked at her curiously. However, she must have felt the gaze, so Kang So-yeong returned to her usual expressionless face.

“What are you looking at?”

Kang So-young raises her voice and asks, as if she was embarrassed, as if in training.

“Ah, it’s just that I think I’ve never seen Secretary Kang smile like that.”

“… I’m human too, so it’s funny.”

“I see. It’s not bad to see that you’re happy to see us.”

At those words, Kang So-young seemed to be thinking about something, but then she continued talking.

“How can you not smile when you look so sweet right in front of your eyes?”

“Is that enough?”

Kang So-young said that she didn’t know what to say.

“For a young lady to reveal and express those feelings to Wonwoo is amazing in itself. Even if I always hide or express my emotions, most of them are angry or annoyed.”

I used to think that way before meeting Sujeongi. It is a flower that is beautiful but has many sharp thorns that are difficult to approach.

My thoughts have completely changed since I met him in person.

“So I wanted to say thank you to Wonwoo before the lady came.”

“I didn’t do anything?”

“No, after meeting Wonwoo, the young lady has changed a lot. You are more honest with your feelings than before, and now you laugh a lot. I’ve been by your side for a long time, but lately I’ve been seeing a lot of different sides of you.”

According to Kang So-young’s words, Sujeong seems to be having a more positive influence on me than I thought, so I felt better.

Just as I was able to escape the dark past thanks to Sujeong, I also became a source of strength to Sujeong.

“So, please take good care of the lady from now on. And that probably won’t happen, but if she has a girl and she’s attracted to another girl… , You know?”

Kang So-young speaks while showing the dagger ‘Yeoubi’ she is holding in her hand when she summoned it. Her expression was bloody yet sharp, as if proving that it was not false.

“Don’t worry, that will never happen.”

I shook her hand and actively denied it.

If that really happened, she would have to live 24 hours a day worrying about when she would be assassinated by Kang So-yeong.

“I hope so too. I don’t want to see you sad.”

Kang So-young gets up from the sofa after saying that and putting ‘Yeoubi’ back.

“It looks like you’re done organizing now, so I’m going to go to my room….”

The moment Kang So-yeong turned her body and tried to move to her room, she felt a slight vibration and at the same time all the lights in her house went out.

Turning her head to look towards her pool, her lights were also off.

At the same time, the weather outside was also cloudy, so the space was completely dark, unable to receive even the moonlight.

“Wonwoo! Secretary Kang!”

At that time, Soo-jeong came out of her room, shining the light on her cell phone.

“Yes, I am here.”

“I am here, young lady.”

She confirmed us with the light of her cell phone, and Soo-jeong said with relief.

“All right, right? Whoa, I’m glad. But why did the light suddenly go out? And there must be an auxiliary generator, so why isn’t it working?”

“That is my question too. Obviously, we prepared everything in advance when designing.”

When I listen to the story of the two, it seems that something is wrong.

‘Isn’t this getting involved in something else?’

While I was thinking about that, I suddenly heard the sound of someone walking near the pool.

Plop.

And then the sound of something falling into the pool.

Responding to the sound, the three of us opened the window and went out vigilantly.

In the swimming pool, I could vaguely see that the water surface was shaking as if to prove that something was missing.

Sujeongi hurriedly illuminated the inside of the pool with her phone’s light.

And we couldn’t help but doubt our eyes as we looked at what was in the pool.
