36 – Bullying
-Yes, Yu Seon-ah…! I got a call like this today…! This is so… I always have to give you a cell phone as a gift. I have to present
I always think about it, but there are so many things to do every time, so in the end, the wired line always pushed me back.
– Yes
-Ever since you were a child, Seon Yoo, you have had a lot of mature parts unlike normal kids.
He’s dignified, dependable, and doesn’t have a lot of aegyo, so I thought he’d never contact me once I left for a high school so far away.
Who would have known that you would be a pampered person who calls me in the morning like this… Are you doing well in school? Are you eating well?
How are you studying? Is it going well…? Oh, and it is said that Yoojung sent her courier saying that it is summer soon, but that again – did you receive it..?
As if it wasn’t enough to send you sunblock or sunscreen with the money you always received from cleaning the barbecue grill every evening, this time they said they would send you summer clothes. Anyone who sees it will know that you two are dating.
Since we first met, you guys got along well like siblings. Even if it was only for the first time that Yu-jeong came to the nursery school in the past, she might be able to adapt well. I was worried
I’m glad he’s a much brighter and more cheerful kid than I thought.
Courier
I never received anything like that.
Bona mana Lee Jin-ah took the package that she brought to me first and threw it in the trash. It must have been burned or one of the two.
It breaks my heart to think that the precious gifts that Yoo-jung bought for me while working are going to end up in the trash. Still, even if I tell you the truth of what I’m experiencing right now, nothing will change.
“…”
Looking at Jina. As if waiting is a bit boring, there is no change except for lying face down on the bed and looking out the window.
When Yu-Jung came up with this story, she was surprised. Jina didn’t know what I was talking about.
-How are you, Director?
-Ah… Don’t worry. These days, an anonymous benefactor has donated a lot to the orphanage, so we have plenty to eat, drink, and wear.
Our bathroom door was broken and rattled, but we were able to fix it with donated money, and there was a puddle on the back mountain. Yes… The place you and Yoojung always went.
Emptying the dirty water, planting flowers, changing the water, and making benches for rest were all thanks to the sponsor.
Lee Jin-ah and I met eyes.
I think I know who the anonymous sponsor is.
-…Ah. Yes. You know I’m calling you like this these days. Yujeong is not studying at the library either, and is waiting here for you to call.
…I heard that even a tiger will come out if I say it..
-Uh uh…? Wow, the director..! Is it wired by any chance…?!!
Jirit, Lee Jin-ah’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Now it’s dangerous
-Ah… Now I think I have to go to class…! Contact me next time…! Director..!
Did Lee Jin-ah hear Yoo-jung’s voice..? Lee Jin-ah was looking this way with an expressionless face.
What should I say? Also, what are you going to do to me? Her heart is pounding, and her hands are getting wet. Pretend nothing is wrong as much as possible. As if nothing had happened.
After biting down her molars, she handed Jinah Lee her mobile phone. Her hands didn’t even shake, and she seemed to have dealt with it calmly.
“Yoo Seon-ah, if you want to call me in the future, tell me~ okay..?”
“…Ugh”
“Coming to think of it, Yoo Seon has a lot of younger siblings, but what if they call and say they want to talk to you…?
Yoo Seon-ah, do you want to do this…? I have something else anyway…”
Jina had two cell phones. One for his own, and the other for calling the daycare center.
“…No, I’m fine…”
“Yoo Seon-ah. I like me better than Yoo-jung..? I don’t know who he is, but I’m sure he’ll give you a cell phone as a gift and we’re not like that?”
…. The feeling of my heart sinking. Did he even hear Yoo-jung’s voice while on the phone? Every time the word ‘Yoo Jeong-i’ comes out of Lee Jin-ah’s mouth, her body trembles.
“I help you the most. Right…? Yoo Seon-ah, if you watch internet broadcasts, you say that you do a special reaction in front of someone who has sponsored you a lot.
Donating things to an orphanage- wouldn’t it be similar to donating on an internet broadcast in a way…? No, I didn’t do a good deed hoping for a reward.
Still, if there is a reward, I think I can work harder next time…?”
I tell Jinah Lee to spend some money on the orphanage. She never asked for anything like that.
Hostages.
Jinah Lee is holding the people at her orphanage hostage, and she’s getting what she wants.
“…Yoo Seon-ah, I’m hungry… Let’s eat something delicious!! I made it today..! While on the phone or on the landline! I did a good job..!”
-hehehe
Lee Jin-ah smiles brightly. She took Lee Jin-ah’s hand and left her room and went to her kitchen. There was freshly made toast on her table.
She then cuts the toast into bite-sized pieces with a knife, dips it with a fork, and shoves it into her mouth.
“Because of this, you look like a baby..! Yoo Seon-ah! You have to eat a lot..?”
A piece of toast popped into her mouth.
“Eat”
Swallow murmuringly. After that, Jinah Lee kept pushing food into her mouth like a mother bird feeding her baby birds.
“Why do you seem to be losing weight? You don’t even eat ramen these days..?”
If you live with Lee Jin-ah, there is no way she can eat the same thing. Except for sleeping and washing, we have to do everything together unconditionally.
Eating alone..? Then… What else would go into the drum… I hate to imagine.
-Cook-Cook…!
Jina Lee pokes my cheek with her finger. I tugged at her cheeks with her fingers, and… Put my hands under her clothes…
“I don’t think I’ve had a stomach upset… I used to have belly fat, but that’s also gone. At this rate, only bones will remain.
I can’t, I’ll have to feed him more today.”
When she did, she would stuff her portion of toast into my mouth. Her throat chokes, but she can’t even spit it out. Jinah Lee is watching me in front of her.
“Hee hee… I eat well”
Jina Lee stretches out her hand and eats the crumbs she has on my mouth. Her eyes are curved like crescent moons. Lee Ji-na now looked very happy.
After the meal, she goes to the bathroom to wash her face lightly, and she is behind her.
“You were surprised..?! You must have been surprised..?”
I could see myself and Lee Jin-ah in the mirror above her washbasin. Wearing pajamas with the same pattern and different colors, we looked like lovers.
– Hee hee.
Lee Jin-ah, who hugged my waist tightly from behind her, her head buried behind her behind her body, limp. She was laughing… I had no expression.
I saw my face in the mirror. Obviously… Lee Jin-ah deserves to be worried while eating today.
I can see that my cheeks have lost weight and my overall body has become thinner. Sal, yes, Lee Jin-ah must have brought up the story of belly fat.
Actually, the pants I’m wearing right now don’t fit right around the waist, so they flow down a bit. Every day, every time I sleep, I have terrible nightmares, and my skin is crumbly. The eye shadow is severely shaded.
“…What is this… The pants are completely off, so I’ll buy a new pair of pajamas next time, you know..?”
Before I can react, Lee Jin-ah grabs my pants and pulls them up slightly. While doing so, she naturally stroked my inner thighs and pubic bone with her hand.
“Because it’s like this. It’s good, isn’t it..?”
-Swimsuk.
Hiding behind me and sticking her head out, I couldn’t believe that she belonged to a high school student.
-Sseukseuk
Even during that time, he was touching my thighs and stomach, and I could tell that, unless he was an idiot, it wasn’t a pure meaning.
“I like that Yoo Seon-i’s back is wide…! And her shoulders are wide too…!”
Jinah Lee’s hand, which had been touching my stomach and her thigh, was holding onto my arm. With the momentum she would never let go of, she raised her fingernails and drove them straight into my forearm.
It hurts… Not enough to bleed from her, but still… Her fingernail marks will linger for quite some time.
“…hehehe”
Every time Lee Jin-ah held my arms tightly, I felt a soft touch, and I was so surprised that I tried to pull her body back.
Lee Jin-ah, whose cheeks were dyed a peach color, didn’t seem to have any intention of letting me go.
The other day, we slept in the same bed, and now it’s our daily life that we cling to each other from behind. One thing is fortunate. That we are still minors.
That’s why it seems to be keeping the line to some extent. I think Lee Jin-ah will cross this line soon.
Jinah Lee lifts her tiptoe and buries her face in my chest. Instead of her arms, she now hugs my torso.
A nice scent comes from the top of the head. Regardless of whether I like Lee Jin-ah or not, she was holding me tight, so she was warm.
How long has it been like that..? I do not know. When I felt like her scent of Lee Jin-ah had soaked into my body…
“…If we keep going like this, what will the old men say…! Next time, let’s do it in a quiet place, okay..?”
I could see Lee Jin-ah running away somewhere with her footsteps. What… What are you doing..?
If I had to do it, I think I would have to take responsibility for the rest of my life due to Lee Jin-ah’s personality… It’s still so hard now.
To keep sticking with Jinah Lee throughout the years of college, youth, middle age, and old age…?
Do I have to live my whole life with a woman who, if I don’t like her just a little bit, stabs her on the back of her hand with her fork, throws everything into her drum and burns it…?
…I didn’t have the confidence to live like that.
