chapter 9
9 – 1-9. The husband from Company S screams.
I picked up a rental car and headed out of the hotel.
My original plan was to just go around sightseeing spots and kill time, but Mr. Nova vehemently denied that.
‘Who comes to a tourist destination and really enjoys sightseeing?’
‘….???’
It’s a remark that asks, “Who goes to a restaurant to eat?”
‘It’s full of people who cheat.’
‘Ah.’
Tourist destinations can be divided into two types.
First, it is a tourist attraction that attracts people from overseas.
It’s a place that looks good, but the price is so expensive that locals never go there.
And now where Mr. Nova is taking me…
“I can see it! Can you see the beach over there?”
A place where locals mainly go to have fun.
The facilities and management themselves are a bit inferior to those of tourist attractions, but they are basically cheap.
Not only is it cheap, but there are also few people who scam or harass you.
It’s a flaw that I can’t say it doesn’t exist at all, but that’s what it is wherever I go, so I just ignore it.
“Aha, are you still worried? Don’t be too nervous. Even thieves don’t prey on people who aren’t there to rob them!”
“…Ahahahaha.”
Grrr! I often hear noises that I shouldn’t make in the car, but I can’t get over this…!
‘Isn’t this going to explode?’
Every time the car stumbles, my fear doubles.
I somehow managed to hold on by holding on to the car seat and putting my hand on the window, and we arrived at the beach.
There is not a single parasol that looks like it.
All you can see are a few people sitting on benches and the roots of trees.
I said it was definitely a place where locals often go to have fun…
“We don’t usually come over every day, right? Besides, today isn’t the weekend.”
That’s normal unless it’s a tourist destination.
I was somewhat convinced by Mr. Nova’s words.
‘It was like that in Korea as well.’
Only on weekends is there a crowd of people, but on weekdays there is no one.
This is even more so if it is an empty lot with nothing to see and not a tourist attraction.
Are there only unemployed or homeless people?
Even those who are likely to be there will not come to the beach where the sand is blowing and the sea breeze is unpleasant.
I.E.
“Today, it’s like we rented it out!”
“Oh…!”
You have a plan, Mr. Nova?
Mr. Nova immediately went to a nearby supermarket and brought two bags of snacks and cider.
“…Is it a disease?”
“It’s a disease!”
I brought it as a bottle of cider.
It’s made of a glass bottle. The one you see in bars with the metal lid on top.
“Opener──”
“—Click!”
“……..”
Just as I was looking around to see where the bottle opener was, I popped the cap off with my teeth.
The sight of spitting out the iron cap from the mouth with a sound.
“Would you like some?”
“…Please.”
When I handed him a bottle of cider, he opened it easily.
As I was handed the bottle of cider again, I honestly don’t know if it’s okay to say this…
“Don’t your teeth hurt?”
“Tsk tsk. This is all the trick!”
Only special tools that the manager or manager would like.
I took a sip of cider under the shade, leaning the rental car against my back.
‘Huhhh──sweet!’
Even if it’s sweet, it’s too sweet.
It was so sweet that you couldn’t tell if it was cider or syrup.
But that amazing sweet taste was crazy delicious.
‘Is it because the day is hot?’
Why do things that I normally can’t eat because my tongue tingles feel so delicious?
Just when I couldn’t understand it even though I was drinking it myself, music suddenly started playing from the rental car.
─Dung! Dung! Dung! Dung!
“Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!”
“….;;;;”
Nova comes out of the car to the powerful rap beat.
Soon, he sat down next to me, opened a cookie, and handed it to me.
“Try it. It’s a bit hard, so be careful with your teeth.”
“…..?”
It looks similar to dried corn.
I grabbed one and put it in my mouth and ate it, and a faint, savory taste spread under my teeth along with a distant sound.
‘It’s delicious….’
Salty taste.
At the same time, it was oddly salty and seemed perfect as a side dish for drinks.
As Mr. Nova said, there were some hard persimmons, but the ones that I couldn’t eat at all——Cracked!——Ugh…?!
“Ouch…!”
“So I told you to be careful!”
There is a bomb.
There was something stuck in it that couldn’t be chewed, like some kind of rock.
Mr. Nova said with a genuine smile, telling me to just spit it out.
“There’s often something like that. It’s like a piece of stone covered in powder.”
“Keuuuyy!
It hurts…
But in the meantime, it is delicious…?
This time, she ate it carefully, rolling her tongue around it, and only then did it become edible.
“Hmm.”
Put cheap snacks in your mouth. He also gives me a sip of cider.
The sea breeze blows in front of you, and pop songs sound loudly behind you.
Something that plays separately and is not harmonious.
But when I put them all together in the same place…
“How do you feel? It’s not bad, right?”
“….Yes.”
It’s better than I thought.
Should I say it is comfortable?
I was able to enjoy it comfortably without any sense of tension.
There is no running around just to take a picture.
I don’t get upset just because I haven’t eaten anything.
Without saying it’s not as good as I thought and saying it’s a waste of money
Just quiet and quiet
Comfortably
Take advantage of this time without thinking.
“Huh? You shouldn’t like me this much already…?”
“….?”
Mr. Nova quietly came and sat down next to me.
The distance has become so close that it feels a bit burdensome.
Ms. Nova blinked her blue eyes as she moved just slightly and their bodies were within reach.
“Are you going to bring a woman to this rare beach and end this?”
“…..Could it be…?”
Take off your top slowly.
The button on the jeans is also undone, revealing the purple underwear underneath.
“hehehe…hehehehe♬”
“…………..”
There is a saying like that.
Western women have a lighter vibe when it comes to skinship and things like that.
Nova is a bunny girl at the casino. So, she is like that, and there is a possibility that she chose this place to do such a thing ──
“How do you feel? Did you take a nice picture?”
“Yes. It was a good photo.”
─There’s no way something like that could happen, right?
Nova seems to have been wearing a swimsuit from the beginning.
She said she had planned to go to the beach and play from the beginning. And she said that for this she put on her swimsuit early.
Thanks to you, I was the only one who got excited and turned into a pervert, but I decided to skip that part.
“Hey, you really took good pictures. I guess you took a lot of pictures?”
“Aha…Ha….”
Photos are gradually filling the gallery.
Maybe it was because I liked the subject, but when I took a picture of them together, they looked like MAC models.
“Huh? This photo…”
“Ah.”
As I was flipping through the photos, I found a photo I had taken before the trip.
“….Is this a woman?”
“…………”
Kim Ji-yeon, photos of that b*tch.
All of them are star stars, and I took pictures of them to show off my face notes.
I shook my hands at the fact that that damn b*tch was still in my gallery and deleted the photos.
As it was full of things I had already taken, I grabbed everything except the ones I had taken during the trip and went straight to the trash can.
The photos were piled up like a mountain, so it took time to get rid of them, but I was so relieved.
“Yu. Do you know that?”
“….?”
Nova suddenly leaned on my shoulder.
Nova whispers as she places her hand on top of her trembling hand.
“The best way to get revenge on a woman.”
“…………”
When I listened to her, she whispered.
“You just need to meet a better girl than that and show her that she doesn’t need a b*tch like you.”
“………….”
I didn’t say it with my mouth.
I just ran it as is.
Photos taken earlier. I posted Nova’s photos on my Facebook page.
“Go back.”
“Yes?”
“The way you f*ck a woman is too soft!”
However, Ms. Nova was not satisfied with this and she moved closer to me.
Now the distance has narrowed to the point where my body can touch my body.
“U. Would you like to look at the camera?”
Selfie mode.
As I looked at her cell phone, Ms. Nova came closer to my face ──
─Page.
“Huh?!”
A light kiss on the cheek.
A picture was taken and posted to Facenote?
“…..Um.”
In addition to the image of Nova posted earlier, there is also this cheek kissing photo.
At first, acquaintances who watched it mainly out of interest gradually asked, ‘Is this really true?’ As if I was expecting it, a bunch of messages started coming in.
In particular, things like [I don’t mind international marriage] From my dad or the heart recommendation in every post made my mind even more dizzy.
‘Is this right?’
This is a situation where even I am not sure.
Mr. Nova took my hand and raised me up and said with a wide smile.
“Post the complicated stuff later and just enjoy it now!”
“……Ha.”
Yes.
Hey, I don’t know either!
…
..
.
“Are you going back now?”
“No. I have to stop by ‘here’ before I go back!”
Time passes gradually and the sunset begins to appear.
Mr. Nova grabbed the steering wheel again and moved upward.
A cliff visible near the beach.
“Don’t worry, you will never regret it!”
“…Keueuung.”
It looks a little scary.
I followed Mr. Nova and walked to the end of the cliff.
Just like that, we finally arrived at the end of the cliff.
“………….Ah.”
It is wide.
And it is high.
The rippling waves reflect the sunlight and shine like jewels.
Red waves in the form of radiation pour in from the sun in the center of the horizon.
I am overwhelmed.
The spectacle of nature.
In front of a sight that I can only watch.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
“…..Yes?”
“What I’ve been hiding until now. What I couldn’t say even though I wanted to.”
“………….”
Sigh, her heart clenches.
Something comes up out of my throat.
“Here, no one can hear.”
“Ugh…..!”
Can I do it?
Is it really okay to do this?
I know.
I know that too.
Just as Mr. Nova said, there are not many people around here.
So, I can say as much sh*t as I want and no one will say anything.
But
“Keuuu as no as theirs will be quintessential!
It did not come out.
I can’t come out in the end.
Because I already forgot.
How to speak. Because I forgot how to vomit.
To me, who has done nothing but endure my whole life.
Because it was so difficult to say, spit out, and express something.
In the end, all you see is an unsightly appearance that keeps breathing.
“…It’s okay.”
“…………”
In a situation where you feel foolish and feel like you are going crazy.
Mr. Nova quietly patted my back and said.
“If it’s really hard to say in words, you don’t have to say it in words.”
“……?”
“You can make sounds, right?”
“…………”
…………….Ah
One word that came out of my mouth.
“Ah….Ahh….Ugh….!”
Exhale.
Out of your mouth.
With all my might.
“Ahh….! Ah….Ahh!”
I vomit.
Things that have rotted.
Things that had no choice but to rot.
Things that have been rotten through enduring and enduring.
“────aaah!!!!”
I shout.
I shout out.
Until my throat splits.
Not caring about what others see.
With all my might.
With all my heart.
I didn’t care even if I was spitting out, screaming, or coughing.
“Huh, huh, huh…!”
It was hell.
It was a life like hell.
It was a life in which every desire in my life was controlled and castrated.
“Kwaa….aaah!”
Physiological needs. Safety needs. Love and affection. Respect. Everything has been denied throughout self-realization.
“Ah”
I worked day after day without taking a break, even going to my side job.
I worked while reducing sleep, which is physiologically essential.
“Ah…..”
You save money like crazy, but you run out of money like crazy.
Without accumulating money in my bank account, my anxiety about retirement grew.
“Ah…”
Friend? Family? Everything was cut off.
A life of only work was like a life in which all interpersonal relationships were cut off.
“Hmm…”
I couldn’t even hope for respect.
It was just like a living, breathing ATM.
“Haaa!!!”
And──self-realization.
Desire for self-actualization.
What I wanted and what I liked.
What I sincerely wanted to do and achieve.
“Ahh….Ahh! Huaaa!!”
I lost it.
I lost everything.
All desires were eliminated. Was excised.
Once my desires were controlled, hope disappeared.
When hope disappeared, expectations also disappeared.
After the expectations disappeared──the whole world began to look gray and colorless.
“Ha, ha…. Haaa….”
This does not mean that there is a problem with vision.
I just become indifferent to everything. No emotions come to mind.
It was like dry ground.
No more tears flowed, no more buds bloomed.
The only certain fate is to dry up, crumble, and die one day.
A life so desiccated that one would rather die.
And at the end of that life.
“Yu”
The sunset sinking red.
Bright blonde hair flutters in front of him as if melted gold.
“Do you regret coming this far?”
“….No.”
Light is added to the colorless world.
The light of the red sunset.
The light of yellow hair.
And
“I have no regrets.”
Contains a blue sky.
Blue eyes that set me free.
“Really….”
Color is added.
Color slowly spreads and flows in an achromatic space.
“Sincerely…..”
Color blooms.
The colorless and odorless world is blooming brightly.
You can feel it with your skin. I feel it in my heart.
This place.
At least for this moment.
“Awesome. Nova.”
“Hmm! I wanted to hear that!”
I can stay here.
