NOVEL NEXT chapter 8
8 – 1-8. Company S’s husband gets drunk in Hawaii.
‘No problem’
I decided to take it easy.
‘Should it be more expensive than that b*tch?’
Let’s say you hire a tour guide for a day.
Once I decided to do that, I felt a little more relaxed.
It’s not like I’m going to do anything in particular. I just had to follow the guide’s directions and enjoy it.
“What do you do on social media?”
“If it’s SNS….”
Questions from the guide.
In fact, as I was a person who lived with a wall between me and the world, I never had much awareness of SNS.
However, when I was with ‘that b*tch’, I remember talking about all kinds of nonsense, talking about SNS, couple accounts, etc.
Later on, he changed the name of the account and used it to post luxury goods and other strange nonsense about his overseas travels, right?
“Yu?”
“Ah… If it’s a face note, there’s an account.”
“Face note! That’s enough!”
The guide quickly asked us to take a picture of the hamburger we were eating.
An action that gives me a strange sense of déjà vu. I was reluctant because I felt like I was peeking at that b*tch, but I obediently complied.
─Click.
“Let me check for a moment?”
“Uh…?”
The guide leans towards me.
The loose top fell down naturally, clearly revealing the purple bra underneath.
“Ah…You can’t take pictures like this. Please lend me a moment. I’ll show you how to take pictures.”
“Uh…”
The guide naturally took his cell phone with him.
Soon, a V-shaped sign was made and posted on the right side of the hamburger.
“Do Judo quickly like this.”
“…..???”
What do you want?
Once I took my cell phone with me, I decided to believe it until the end.
Make a V-shaped sign on the ‘left’ side of the hamburger as the guide wishes.
“Um───Yes! That’s it!”
A photo taken with a click and a shutter sound.
The photos in the cell phone looked like photos taken when couples visit a restaurant.
‘….Couple photo.’
Now that you think about it, was there a photo like this on the account she created?
I remember it probably wasn’t there.
It may have been a little while at first when we were a couple, but after that it became an account for self-bragging.
“I uploaded this. Now it’s going to be really fun, right? Oh, and this is my note account! I followed you!”
“───???”
While I was dazed for a moment, something happened.
Before I knew it, a new friend appeared in the friends window, and a new photo was uploaded to my previously unremarkable note account.
A photo with no title, no content, and no hashtags.
‘Is this okay?’
It was a question that suddenly occurred to me, but I decided not to worry about it.
This account was created to log in to other sites anyway.
Just because photos are uploaded one by one doesn’t mean logging in is blocked, right?
We finished eating all the hamburgers and stood up to pay.
“Wait a minute. What are you doing?”
“Yes?”
But the guide held my hand and stopped me.
“I was trying to calculate…”
“So, why does oil even calculate its share?”
“…..???”
I feel like I’m being scolded for something.
What did I do wrong?
When I looked at the guide dumbly, she smiled and pushed me aside.
“It’s okay. I’m not a beggar.”
“…………”
The guide takes out his wallet and pays the bill.
She then stuffed the receipt into her wallet, smiled at me, and said,
“Thank you, though. If I were your lover, I would have given you a deep kiss by now!”
“…I decline.”
“Huh? When did I say I would do it? It’s not like I can’t do it for you…”
“I decline!”
Western women, I’m scared!
Especially the execution part!
…
..
.
After finishing lunch.
The guide held my arm with his hand and led me lightly.
“From now on, we will go to the market.”
“If it’s the market….”
Are we going to eat again?
The guide smiled and answered as if he had read my thoughts.
“Because—the current Yu doesn’t sound ‘Hawaiian’ at all!”
“What is that…”
“To put it bluntly, you’re like a rat hiding in the alleys of the city.”
“…………”
Does she actually know about defamation?
As my eyes strained without realizing it, the guide burst into laughter.
“But it can’t be helped? If you come to the land of passion and passion and have a face like that of a corpse, it looks strange to those who are looking at it. Isn’t it better for people who take medicine to look healthier?”
“It’s not that bad…”
“It’s bad. It’s really bad too.”
“…………”
The guide keeps poking me.
Half of me wanted him to just guide me without saying anything, and surprisingly, half of me was happy to hear that.
‘What are you doing, you idiot?’
Did you have a masochistic tendency to enjoy being scolded by people?
I thought to myself, it was a bit plausible, but if I didn’t have that kind of tendency, I wondered how I would have survived with those b*tches.
If you even think about the fact that the final result is Hwabyeong, which follows NTR, I may be a masochist.
Well, it’s all bullsh*t.
“Yu! Wear this!”
The guide went into the market one by one and bought something.
A shabby-looking straw hat.
A top with a burdensome color that seems to be made of cheap fabric.
A strange-looking necklace that I don’t know what it’s made of.
“Now, in addition to this—this!”
Even the sunglasses taken out of the pocket.
After roughly going into the alley, changing his clothes, and coming out, the guide nodded his head.
“I like it. It’s very ‘Hawaiian’.”
But──there are still two more left!
The guide immediately went next to me, or rather, behind my back.
“Nova?”
“Listen carefully to what I say now.”
Put your hands on both shoulders.
As soon as I pulled back with force, my shoulders slowly began to straighten back.
Inconvenient. Stiffness. At the same time, the feeling of the chest stretching forward.
“There is no one here to bully Yu. There is no one who has to force anyone to agree with him.”
“What is that—Ugh!”
“So, be confident. Spread your shoulders wide and keep your back straight. If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’m scolding Yu!”
“Keueuuu fine)
By the time I noticed, my waist had already started to lean forward.
When I always lower my head and shrink, my shoulders become narrow.
My body, which had lived like that all my life and had adapted, began to force itself to spread wide.
It hurts. Inconvenient. I wanted to go back comfortably right away.
But——Guide, Nova did not let me go.
“I know very well that Yu is a person who cares a lot about others.”
But Yu.
This must be distinguished carefully.
“You must not confuse ‘consideration’ with ‘servility.'”
“…..!”
“You can be considerate of someone, but you must not be servile in front of someone.”
“…………..”
Consideration.
Serving.
After those words, Nova removed her hand from my back.
Gradually narrowing shoulders. A waist that wants to return to its original state.
“……Ugh.”
However, it was not narrowed down. It didn’t bend.
I forced myself to endure.
Surprisingly, it was easy to endure.
Because you are young and your body is not curved yet.
Just by being slightly nervous, my back straightened and my shoulders widened.
“Try walking like that.”
“….Phew.”
I exhaled briefly.
Walk. Walk forward.
Squat your back and spread your shoulders.
Walk forward as if greeting the whole world.
“Okay…That’s it Yu!”
“…Huh…Huh!”
Oh. Weird?
It’s just walking forward, but there’s something fun about it.
It’s both fun and exciting.
Steps that gradually become more confident.
It felt like each step took an indescribable amount of strength.
“Okay, now’s the final step!”
“If it’s the last step….”
“I told you earlier, right?”
Two things Yu lacks right now.
If one thing is ‘confidence’ and ‘confidence’ that I have come to realize now.
The other one is of course──
“—Wouldn’t she be a beauty who would make you feel confident just by having her next to you?”
“Huh!?”
He jumps up as if flying and hugs me with both arms.
An arm inserted between the chest.
I’m happy…Thank you…Not!
“Uh…Uh…Ugh?!”
“I guess you’re weaker at this than I thought? When I saw you last night, I thought you were going to beat up a few women.”
“…Please leave.”
“I don’t like it. And you want me to get away from someone who wanders around like that?”
“Ah.”
I put my hand to my mouth.
Lips that rise up sharply.
I feel a sharp pain in my arm as it gradually subsides, which looks terrible to me.
“You’re doing it again. Are you going to keep forgetting the word ‘Hawaii’?”
“…Still.”
“Anyway, just sleep and don’t feel guilty.”
That too.
“There is no man who wouldn’t turn his head to have a woman like me by his side!”
“………….”
One word that makes you forget the answer itself.
When I looked down at Ms. Nova blankly, she quietly avoided my eyes.
“……Let’s go over there.”
Just quietly pulling her arm and leading her.
“……Wow.”
There is nothing to say even if you are crazy about women.
I have nothing to say even if I criticize the businesswoman for being rude.
But, I have to say this much.
‘I’m going crazy.’
She almost wanted to knock on the gates of hell again.
*******************
“Honey…Is Hyunseong going to be okay?”
“He’s someone’s son, so it’ll be okay.”
A seemingly blunt answer.
“…You know this is the third time I’m watching the same news, right?”
“………….”
It only looked like that on the outside, but I was distraught on the inside.
─Tiriring♪
“Ah…”
The cell phone is ringing.
The mother stretched out her hand to see who was calling ── and turned her phone upside down without saying a word.
“Is it that house again?”
“I’m saying I’m reflecting a lot.”
“What is reflection? I told you this before, right?”
I don’t know the people in that house, but they say that kid doesn’t like it.
“If you were raised to be a princess, you should hope for a prince. Why do you want to take away my unrelated child?”
“It looks like it will come to your doorstep.”
“Then you should report it to the police.”
My father snorts and turns the pages of the news.
─Tiring♬
“Hmm?”
In the meantime, a notification sound rings.
Face Note. ‘Yoo Hyeonseong’ posted a new post.
“…………”
Come to think of it, that guy said he was going on an overseas trip or something.
The father clicked on the post to see what his son was doing.
And
“…..Huh!”
Lots of laughter.
“hehehehe! hehehehe!”
“What are you looking at now?… Oh my? What’s going on?”
With a smile filled with admiration, my mother also followed and looked at the post.
“…Dad, I don’t mind international marriage!”
Heart recommendation.
It was my father’s undeniable heart.
