56 – Independence
“…Look at this, my hair is all wet and my clothes are damp from being hit by snow all day. It’s such a cold day…”
“…”
I returned home with Seon Yoo.
It was close to midnight.
First of all, I wiped Yu Seon’s wet hair with a towel.
Yu Seon-i also seemed to have no energy because her eyes were blank, probably because she was still in the cold.
When she saw that, she was very upset.
What would have happened if Yoo Seon had not been found in the turtle bunker? She doesn’t even want to imagine.
I’ve been in the cold all day… I caught a cold, and my body is weak. If only I had met some bad boys roaming the back alleys. By now, Yoo Seon-i…
“Ugh… Yoo Seon-ah, take a warm shower first.”
“Uh…?”
“If you go to sleep then you will catch a cold. You will catch a cold if you do not wash before going to bed.”
“Am I going to sleep here?”
“What the hell is he talking about right now..? Yoo Seon-ah..! What time is it now..? Surely he’s not going out?”
“…If anyone sees this…”
“So… What are you saying..? We’re adults anyway- what..? Just, what’s wrong with an adult going into another adult’s house..?”
“You could be harmed”
“What kind of damage…? I haven’t suffered any damage at all? I’m fine? Is there something that’s harming me if someone sees it? Someone suddenly breaks down the front door and makes a mess here…? Something like that. No. What’s the matter?”
“..Still, you don’t know that it’s a human thing…”
“Yoo Seon-ah, don’t say nonsense, just stay here… It’s snowing outside and how cold it is- sending you outside in this weather is more ridiculous to me.”
I’m sending Seon Yoo out again now. That also makes no sense.
How cold it is outside right now. Besides, now is the time.
Again, I don’t know where I’m going to wander around, really… No matter how wired it is, it’s not something that can’t be done.
I opened the unorganized box, took out a nappy hoodie from inside, and handed it to Yoo Seon.
There is a height difference of more than 10 cm between me and Yoo Seon, but this is a one-size-fits-all hoodie. Wouldn’t this be suitable for Yoo Seon-yi to wear?
Just in case, Yoo Seon put my hoodie on her body. Fortunately, she fit in well.
“…However…”
“Ah! Wash up quickly!”
Ching-Eol-Ching-Eol.
No money, nowhere to sleep. But I don’t want to go to nursery school. I didn’t think of any countermeasures or methods… What I’ve been doing up until now is squatting in the turtle bunker. While it was everything
Why are there so many complaints and dissatisfaction? It’s really just a mouthful… I hated Yoo Seon-i and acted so stuffy, so I pulled Yoo Seon-i’s cheeks with my fingers!
“..Jung Yoo, no, but this is…”
“Then what should I do..? Are you going to go outside again? Just go out..? Then you will tell the director everything..?”
You must be more sick! That way you can calm down a bit..!
“…Okay… You can just do it… Ah… It hurts…!”
Yeon Seon took the clothes I gave her and went into the bathroom.
“Wash your hair, wash your feet, take a shower. Are you done?”
“I understand…”
The door closed, and after a while, I heard the sound of the water changing from the shower head. In the meantime, I packed the luggage in the room.
I made space by pushing all the boxes that were piled up in the room to the side.
I couldn’t put all the clothes or anything like that in the closet. I couldn’t organize clothes, toiletries, cosmetics, etc.
Because sleeping on the bare floor makes you exhausted, I put a blanket underneath and a soft cotton blanket on top.
“…I washed everything…”
Are you Yu Seon wearing the hoodie I gave you?
My skin is reddish because I took a warm bath.
My hair was also wet. It smelled good. The pants are just the same clothes that were outside.
Wait a minute… My heart was pounding.
Yeah, Yu Seon… I didn’t know because he always looked like a squat, but now that I see it, he’s quite big… Also- he’s much taller than I thought…?
Looking at Yoo Seon, who had just finished taking a bath, I realized that something was going on strangely.
Actually… It’s not normal for a grown man and woman to sleep together in her room.
Even now, when I see Yoo Seon-i looking at me with round eyes,
-Geuuu… It’s a little cute…
Usually, Yoo Seon doesn’t show such a weak expression, but today’s Yoo Seon really looked like a puppy.
Are you wired so much earlier? It’s frustrating. Because you said it like that – I dragged it recklessly. Is this really a good thing?
Can I sleep in the same room with Yoo Seon…? That… Won’t you think it’s strange when you tell the director later…?
Those thoughts passed through my head for a very short time.
What can I do? I was told to sleep here She’s been yelling t-t-t-t-t-t-till now, but when I say no-I want you out of my house again-what would she think is wired or what…?
I would hate myself for saying this.
“Where are the clothes…”
“For now, there’s a washing machine over there. Put it in there. Then I’ll stay and run it.”
“…Where are you going?”
“I need to wash”
“Are you washing too…?”
“..Then I have to wash it too! Then I don’t wash it..?! I shower once a day! I don’t know, Yoo Seon-ah..?!”
This is something the director used to say a lot when I was at the nursery school.
Come to think of it, I have to tell the director that Yoo Seon was found, but I haven’t been able to tell him yet.
First of all, I was sweating a lot from running to find Yoo Seon, and I got hit by his head a lot. My clothes were also wet from the snow, so it was very uncomfortable.
So I opened the bathroom door to take a shower.
“…Uh..? Uh uh…??”
Yoo Seon’s face got hot as if it was about to explode. There seems to be something you want to say to me, but I can’t.
I felt something like a sticky air flow between us. I felt awkward about this situation, so I quickly went into the bathroom.
“…Ah…”
The air in the bathroom is humid, perhaps because Yoo Seon took a shower here, but it doesn’t feel bad or anything like that.
There must be a lot of uncomfortable things between Yoo Seon and I as well.
It’s already too late to do anything else now. I’m tired. I just want to take a quick warm shower… And go to sleep.
-Shoot…
“…Ah…”
I was surprised that the water was colder than I expected. I just thought the hot water would come out because the air was hot…
I must have turned on the hot water. Why are you so lukewarm…? Still, it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t wash it off… I finished the shower by biting my molars…
Ugh… The boiler broke down when I was at the nursery school before. I think the experience at that time helped me a lot.
At that time, there was only cold water, so I couldn’t shower with warm water… I used my experience at that time to wipe myself with a towel after taking a bath. He puts on the clothes he has prepared ahead of time and comes out…
Yoo Seon was sitting in the room with a blank expression.
I roughly checked the time on my cell phone on the floor, and the current time is 1:00 am.
Yes… Now it’s really bedtime.
“…Seonah Yoo, let’s sleep”
“So you’re going to sleep…?”
“Why, is there a problem?”
Isn’t it common sense to wear short sleeves and shorts while sleeping at home…?
No, it’s Yoo Seon, because I don’t have any clothes to change into. Even so.
I am the landlord here. Isn’t it comfortable to wear?
I’ve been wandering around all day today, and I want to sleep comfortably the moment I sleep.
“…Where do I sleep..?”
“… Over there”
“… Huh?”
I haven’t finished packing my stuff yet. How do I do this..? At least tomorrow morning… When will this be done…
Yoo Seon took the roll of toilet paper he had brought as a pillow and went to the shoe rack over there and lay down. Watching that made my heart hurt. But… I couldn’t help it.
Because the futon I spread out seemed like it would be perfect for me to sleep alone.
The two of you sleep together here…? Then I have no choice but to cling to it and sleep. I can’t help it.
“Good night Yoo Seonah”
“…Yeah”
Yoo Seon was already lying down and getting ready to sleep, and I was very tired, so I turned off the light.
A lot happened today. I went to the government office, bought a new house, and also… I went around a lot looking for Yoo Seon… Because I spent the whole day really full… Even just lying on the floor. You start to fall asleep.
Coming to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve ever slept in an unfamiliar space like this other than sleeping in an orphanage.
That… It was amazing that I could sleep better than I thought.
I’m a very sensitive person when I thought about it, so I thought I wouldn’t sleep well in a place like this. …I’m tired…
-Sasak…Sasasak!
The sound of something moving.
“Hey, Yoo Seon-ah… Now?”
“I’m not sleeping right now…?”
“Did you touch my hair…?”
“No, I didn’t touch it…?”
From noble mtl dot com
No matter how small my room is, it’s not narrow enough for Yoo Seon, who sleeps by the shoe closet, to touch me.
– Sasasak, sasasa, sasasak!
Looking at the wired connection, it doesn’t seem like it’s moving right now. It feels like something… Pon pon pon- and crawling.
An ominous mood.
I suddenly thought that I wouldn’t be able to sleep unless I swiped the floor and checked what was moving.
So I turned on the light.
Dark brown. A round body, long left and right antennae… And… A food duck. Wings that look like they are about to fly up at any moment like a food duck.
“Ah…aaa…Ba…Wheels…Wheels…Wheels…!”
Cockroaches were running around our house.
