I couldn’t stand it and got up quickly, but as soon as I moved, he unzipped his coat. And then relaxedly pulled his hand out of the jersey.
“…….”
Wary of the madman that suddenly took off his clothes, I faltered for a moment. And in front of my eyes, Shin Heejae calmly didn’t stop at taking off his outerwear and even took off the black T-shirt underneath without hesitation.
My jaw dropped looking at the flesh-coloured wall that appeared out of nowhere in front of me. What’s worse, he didn’t stop there and even pulled down his pants.
Seeing him standing in front of me in only his underwear, I felt suffocated. He was big and had a good body, well it wasn’t because of that but I had had enough of the insensitiveness of taking off his clothes in someone else’s house like it was nothing.
“……?”
However, I didn’t know what Shin Heejae thought of my hateful gaze but the moment our eyes met, with both hands he crossed his arms over my chest. After doing that, he glanced at me with a sensuous look.
“Why do you stare at other people’s bodies.”
“……What?”
“If you come on top of the bed, I’ll report you?”
“…….”
Feeling speechless because it’s nonsensical enough, I didn’t know I would feel that like this.
With my jaw dropped, I watched him stroll into the bathroom. Through the closed door, not long afterwards I heard the sound of water pouring.
“No…….”
Belatedly waking up, I gritted my teeth and waited for him to come out. However, Shin Heejae didn’t come out for a long time, and I had to listen to someone else shower for 30 minutes.
That’s when I realized.
That was, this bastard was scratching my nerves on purpose.
‘This son of a…….’
The problem was that even if Shin Heejae made a fuss like this, I was in a situation where I had no choice but to be dragged around.
Suddenly asking to date again, and also throwing a fit, wasn’t the intention to flip my heart upside down? But it could be that this was better. It would be better to receive stress and be made fun of instead, if Shin Heejae really was gay…….
‘Please……. It couldn’t be, right?’
Feeling vaguely anxious, I looked at the door that he had entered.
However, what kept making me uneasy, was because even that head-butting would be something an ordinary person could never imagine, if he was one. I wasn’t even gay unless I was shot in the head, the lips of a man just like me……, Do you think I would kiss them!
I became overwhelmed with anxiety about what to do if Shin Heejae came out after finishing his shower and suddenly hit me.
‘Then I really have to stab him and turn myself in…….’
At that moment, I was thinking about whether to go to the kitchen and secretly hide at least a knife.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Shin Heejae, covering himself with the door and with water dripping from the ends of his hair, looked at me.
“Noona. Give me a towel.”
Fortunately, there was nothing strange, but I got angry with this bastard shamelessly acting as if it was his own house.
“…….”
“Ah, give me clothes to change into too.”

After Shin Heejae watched my face and gently snatched the flying towel, he snickered and disappeared back into the bathroom again.
“Noona, this place even gets hot water cut off?”
“……Sometimes?”
The truth was that I turned off the boiler after he entered again, but whether Shin Heejae thought ‘that’s why’ since it was this kind of house or not, without questioning further he started to dry his hair with the towel. My small revenge was successful.
But he was still in his underwear, and I was looking at his back and politely keeping an eye on him. It was uncomfortable and annoying, and I felt a vague fear.
‘Crazy attention seeking bastard.’
Did this guy not even have any shame?
Eventually, I didn’t want to see this sight and had no choice but to surrender. I threw him the biggest clothes from what I had, and I didn’t know if it was too small, but it seemed uncomfortable.
However, Shin Heejae, even with that ridiculous look, took over my bed in the end.
“Ha…….”
Letting out a sigh of frustration, I took out a summer blanket unsuitable for the session and laid down on the hard floor. Since I turned on the boiler I wasn’t cold, but I felt really dirty.
‘What am I going to do with this bastard from now on…….’
Starting from tomorrow, I was afraid of what Shin Heejae might do to harass me again. On the other hand, Shin Heejae who was lying on the bed, surprisingly without any tossing and turning, was quiet as if he had really fallen asleep.
I stayed awake until 3 in the morning, then fell asleep. And around 6 I gently opened my eyes from sleep, and at first glance it seemed like Shin Heejae was sitting on the edge of the bed and staring straight at me.
However, I couldn’t win against sleep and closed my eyes again.
* * *
Beep beep beep―.
At the alarm set for 8:30, I opened my eyes.
When I looked around, Shin Heejae had disappeared and was gone. As if no one had ever used the bed, it was neatly arranged, but the cat doll that he had thrown into the trash can was lying upside down on the blanket.
“…….”
Yesterday, the sight of Shin Heejae grabbing and throwing that doll into the trash can was like a dream. After chewing the flesh inside my cheeks for a while, I realized it was reality, and shaking my head that was still having a headache I stood up from my spot.
‘Now……, is it all over? Shin Heejae is…….’
I put the cat doll at the head of my bed and fell into thought for a moment.
For now, it was good that Shin Heejae was gone, but I felt a little uncomfortable. Would that guy let me go after venting only this much anger out on me? I thought like that.
However, rush hour was too busy to clear up complicated thoughts. For now I set aside my emotional thoughts and followed my morning routine mechanically.
I took a shower, (and saw a shower towel in a different place not where I usually kept them, and felt mixed up again, but…….) dried my hair, changed into a neat suit, and put on my shoes.
“……?”
It was when I was finally just about to open the front door and leave. Behind the magnet holder left on the front door stuck out a memo made out of torn paper.
With my hand, I grabbed and pulled out the unpleasant paper.
[Unblock my number please]
Although it was scribbled with bad handwriting, it was not to the point it was unrecognizable. I grimaced and crumpled his note.
“What bullshit.”
And right after, I crushed the memo and threw it away in the trash can near the front door.
But when I left the house, I looked around uselessly. This was because it seemed like Shin Heejae could suddenly appear like yesterday. But as I walked cautiously, I didn’t see him or his car.
Around the time I arrived at the subway station like that, I eventually took out my phone and felt conflicted after looking at his number.
‘Ha……, damn it. If I don’t unblock him, he’ll probably come find me again, right?’
If it was Shin Heejae, he was someone plenty able to do something like that. Besides, it was a state where my home address had also already been revealed.
Eventually, I unblocked him at the entrance of the company. I was annoyed at the thought of being swayed, but I couldn’t find an answer right now.

Heejae
[noona tell me the door lock password for your house]
My ominous premonition was right.
Shin Heejae sent a bizarre message in time for the company’s lunch hour. What exactly is it that you’re confidently asking for someone else’s home password! It was so absurd I wondered if he was saying nonsense as an excuse to talk to me.
So I just read it and didn’t reply. But less than 10 minutes later, a new message came.
Heejae
[ㅇ.ㅇ?]
[should i go ask the 5th floor?]
As soon as I read the message, I was shocked and ran up to the roof of the building. And I immediately called Shin Heejae. The tone had rang less than twice before he picked up.
“Yes.”
“What are you doing?”
“Doing what?”
“Why are you asking for the password of someone else’s house! And, how did you know that the landlady lived on the fifth floor?”
“The aunt told me?”
“……What?”
What kind of sociability did he demonstrate, it seemed that he quickly became friendly with the landlady who had talked about parking with him yesterday. The landlady was kind but there were times she was nosy, and it seemed like Shin Heejae made full use of this. The problem was that it was all used to harass me.
Once I realized that the company wasn’t enough for this crazy bastard so he was even using the house I lived in to blackmail me, my stomach began to throb with stress.
Whether I did this or that, Shin Heejae found fault with a strange part.
“But…….. Why are we strangers?”
“……What?”
“Since yesterday, we decided to start dating again. Are we not?”
When I closed my mouth, dumbfounded, he didn’t miss the opportunity and began to develop weird reasonings.
“Think about what noona did to me. You bothered me by going into hiding after doing something a bit wrong. And you blocked my number until now, too.”
“Hey, that’s…….”
“So, shouldn’t noona tell me your home password so I can feel relieved. You’re not possibly going to abandon your house and run away.”
“…….”
“Am I wrong?”
In short, it was nonsense saying that because I disappeared after dating (as a netkama) and caused him trauma, I should give him the home password.
No, shit. Just because I did some netkama acting, does it make sense to go as far as to occupy someone else’s house without permission? How far are you thinking of going?
“…….”
However, there was the problem which was that the relationship between me and Shin Heejae was unequal.
Obviously, I am a person of common sense and Shin Heejae is an asshole, but it was a state where my job and social face were held hostage. In this absolute power relationship, I shouldn’t clearly point out Shin Heejae’s bullshit and go against his will.
But at the thought that I can’t be swayed by him forever, I burst into the anger I had restrained.
“I’m not going to run away, now……. no, I can’t run away. You know that too. If you even brought up my work, stop it already!
“I’ll give you the password for my door lock, too.”
“I don’t need it, you bastard…….”
“You really don’t need it? Actually, as soon as I found out about noona’s birthday, I changed it to that.”
It seemed like he was saying that long ago when he asked about my birthday, he had changed his door lock password. After hearing this far, I had a faint sense of why this bastard was making a fuss about giving me his password.
‘How far did you get ahead of yourself…….’

God this is shaping into such a horror novel! A missed opportunity I’d say.
Their dynamic is so interesting, I really do wonder who’s gonna break first. (Probably MC)
