“Hey, you possibly……. It’s not, right?”
“What is?”
Shin Heejae shrugged his shoulders. Looking at his brazen face, my lips quivered.
Shin Heejae was threatening me right now. If I was unsatisfactory here, it was clear that his intention was to find my company and let them hear the recording, making a mess. But while doing that, you’re being despicable and pretending you don’t know…….
‘This, you son of a…….’
The problem was that even if Shin Heejae went crazy like that, it was a situation where I had no choice but to be dragged around.
It pissed me off but if that bastard actually looked for my company and made even a disturbance, never mind being fired, it was possible I would never be able to work at a public institution again.
Even though my salary was a little small, it was a side where there was no work stress, so my current job suited me well. In addition, I didn’t want to work anywhere else after such a long time, and there weren’t many types of businesses in my academic background where I could leave work on time. Even in this neighborhood, it was a situation where other jobs worth going to weren’t working out.
Unlike me, Shin Heejae was a bastard who had nothing to lose even if he found a public institution and made a fuss about being deceived by a man.
I wouldn’t know if he was a steamer whose face was at least known, but little was known about Shin Heejae. And even if it was known, it wouldn’t hurt his livelihood much. Because he was famous for being a crazy player.
In addition, it would be a relief if [Netkama Education] didn’t end up being a series, even if there were rumours following the packaging. Wasn’t it that he even had a voice file containing my confession(?) in his hand, that I didn’t know how he would edit.
“Hey, Shin Heejae……. Wait……. Wait a minute.”
In the end, I talked to him first even as my fists trembled.
Shin Heejae was just staring at me, who was trying hard to choose an expression. As I saw his arrogant expression as if saying ‘If you have something to say, say it’, emotions rose up inside of me, but I tried my best to not show it as much as I could.
I forced a smile towards Shin Heejae and opened my mouth hurriedly.
“I……. I mean, cheating on you……. sorry……, but……. I also……. still, I’m trying to avoid you as much as I can……, so that I wouldn’t go……. I, in my own way I tried my best.”
“…….”
“But like this sud……. Since you found me suddenly, I was in a panic so I said something I didn’t mean to say, and…….”
“Yawn.”
But Shin Heejae wasn’t even listening to me.
Not only that, he openly yawned as if he was bored, turned his back from me who was mumbling, and casually sat down on someone else’s bed.
Then he looked at me, who was frozen still, and asked me carelessly.
“Noona.”
“……What?”

“P wluta fnfc ecvfgrajcv cbbcj?”

At that moment, when Shin Heejae saw me who had tensed with nervousness, he said something with no sincerity at all.
“There’s no way noona would hate me.”
“…….”
“So, let’s try again properly.”
I frowned and raised my head. I couldn’t tell on what grounds he was saying that. Shin Heejae, even while reading my gaze as if I was looking at a crazy man, continued his words calmly.
“I think I know what noona was worried about when I came here.”
“What kind of……. Hey, what are you talking about right now?”
“I understand that you took the hiding route in advance, because you were afraid I would be disappointed that you lived in a house like this that wasn’t even glamorous.”
“Cra…….”
I held back the “Crazy bastard!” on my tongue and didn’t allow it to leave my mouth, but I was swearing at him with my expressions plenty anyway.
Shin Heejae took in my sincere response. Rather, my reaction seemed to be fun, and he even closed his eyes and laughed.
“But, I’m fine with everything?”
“No…….”
“So if noona apologizes to me, and promises to do well in the future, I’ll stop here.”
“……!”
“If you keep making me sad, well……. What will happen? Anyway, the choice is noona’s to make.”
After saying that, Shin Heejae posed as if he were about to leave at any moment.
“…….”
I felt that if I went against Shin Heejae here, he would definitely be determined to make tomorrow the worst day of my life. He would at least go find the centre, or maybe he might hit and run me with his Audi…….
‘No, shit……. But why does he want to keep going out with me?’
I looked at Shin Hee-jae in bewilderment and fear.
What the hell exactly could be in that bastard’s head. He suddenly hit me(I would rather die than say kiss) once then said I was a possibility……?
It was hard to believe those words, but on the other hand, I felt chills thinking about how angry that bastard must be with me, to be this unreasonable.
From here, if I just returned to the ‘dating state’ again, would it be fine? But I had no choice. As much as that, was the truth.
Because of that, I ended up…….
“……Un, until when are we going to date…….”
With my last bit of hope left, I asked him a question.
Shin Heejae covered his mouth with his hands as if he realized that I had given up more than halfway. Perhaps if he lowered that hand, he would probably be smiling from ear to ear……. Even though it was obviously nonsense, there was nothing I could do.
Now that I had completely failed to manage my expression, I stared at him with an upset expression. Whether I did that or not, Shin Heejae looked at me with a mysterious look and answered gently.
“Until I get sick of it?”
“…….”
“But I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of noona.”
In the end, he meant to swing me around under the pretext of dating until his anger subsided.
I clenched my teeth, Shin Heejae watched my expression full of humiliation as if enjoying it, then said in a commanding tone.
“Ah, I’m hungry. Open the chicken.”
“……What?”
“Let’s eat the chicken you bought with the gift coupon I gave you. I’ll give noona half, too.”
“…….”
I had forgotten, but a bag of chicken lay quietly on the floor. I was shocked by Shin Heejae’s shameless behavior, but eventually I couldn’t say anything and quickly lifted the bag of chicken.
* * *
“……When are you going to leave.”
“You want me to leave?”
“…….”
Shin Heejae and I sat with a small table in between us and ate chicken.
He complained ‘I’m hungry, what do I do’, but he didn’t eat even one piece properly and stared at me, who was considering if I should eat or not. And I tried to ignore his gaze, but felt as if I was going to have an upset stomach.
Like that, there were only 3 pieces of chicken which I forcibly ripped apart for an hour.
‘If you weren’t going to eat it, why did you ask for it?’
Tearing the cold and therefore dry boneless meat with a fork, I thought it would be good if it was Shin Heejae.
However, the problem was that I couldn’t express these kinds of thoughts honestly. It was because somehow he and I were forced to be ‘in a relationship’ again, it was because he could have me do something weird if I did a small thing wrong.
‘Shit……. Can’t believe that I’m dating a guy…….’
It was a ridiculous situation. So in order to not offend him as much as possible, I was keeping quiet.
Beep―.
However, while I was quietly holding my breath, this bastard turned on the TV without thinking about going home. I stopped eating the chicken and stared at him in bewilderment, but at his attitude of being comfortable as if it was his own house, I couldn’t open my mouth.
While I was glancing around and hesitating, time went on, and eventually he was still at my house until 10pm. Feeling that there was no way, I asked again.
“You……. are you going to sleep here?”
‘Please don’t, so stop here and get the hell out…….’ It was an earnest question.
However, after saying that, I made eye contact with Shin Heejae and regretted it. This was because as soon as he met eyes with me, the eyes of this guy who had been stuck on the TV as if bored, sparkled.
He got up and asked.
“Shall we go to bed?”
“What? I don’t want to!”
It was an honest, instinctive reply. As soon as Shin Heejae heard my words, he smiled as if he knew how I would react.
“As expected, I’ll go to sleep.”
“Cra……. No, our house is small so there’s no place to sleep! There’s also only one bed…….”
“I’ll use the bed.”
“No, sh…….. I said you can’t!”

From a fellow mango lover.
