Chapter 65: Incense Burner(5).

Just like when she went to the dance club, Chayeon rode Heukgu (scooter) with Arena in front and behind, and arrived in front of her house.

“Thank you, Arena.”

She got off the scooter and saw Arena off. It was a routine for Arena to take Chayeon home. It was just that she had come riding the Heukgu today unlike usual.

“Really, nothing happened, right?”

Arena asked with uneasy eyes. It seemed that she hadn’t completely removed her suspicion.

At Heukgu’s shocking remarks, not only Arena but also the people in the club who were listening had been turned upside down. Arena had run at Heukgu in a fit of excitement, so she had sweated to stop her.

Even while looking at Chayeon, who was frantically stopping Arena and explaining what had happened, Heukgu’s face remained calm.

What the hell. He was so annoying. A crazy bastard.

After Chayeon barely explained the situation, Heukgu only nodded at Arena, who was asking if that was really the case. At Arena, who was extremely angry that she would kill him if he had touched Chayeon even with a hair, Heukgu,

-I see. So he’s increasing the dependence like this.

He left only incomprehensible muttering and disappeared from the spot.

“Yeah, really, everything I explained earlier is all there is.”

The truth was that there was a story about a black fox left, but if she said that, only suspicion would be amplified. Arena’s eyes were still uneasy.

“Tsk, don’t have strange thoughts.”

Ttok.

Chayeon approached, raised her tiptoes, and kissed her.

“Really, nothing happened.”

“…Okay. I’ll trust you.”

Arena, who was coming closer with her fingers interlocked. As she held her hand and took a step back, her back touched the wall. Soft lips were layered, and a soft tongue intertwined in her mouth. She closed her eyes, feeling the hot breath.

After exchanging tongues and saliva for thirty seconds like that, the girls’ heads moved away, dragging a transparent silver thread connecting the two lips.

“Unni is home. I have to go in quickly.”

“U, ung!”

Watching Arena, who was blushing, Chayeon smiled and waved her hand.

After confirming that Arena was moving away, she entered the front door, and Seohee, who was in the kitchen, poked her head out.

“You’re late today… Huh?”

Seohee, who was wearing an apron, scanned Chayeon up and down. What was it, why was she doing that. …………Ah.

“You, what did you do?”

Seohee’s eyes narrowed. A shirt that was obviously a man’s and loose rubber shorts. Seohee strode closer.

Mungkeul.

“Chayeon-ie, you!”

Was what she was seeing really as it was? Seohee, who touched her younger sister’s chest with a hoping that she was wrong, glared. She thought she wouldn’t be caught because her chest was small.

“No, that’s not it!”

“Explain properly.”

Unlike Arena, Chayeon, who was fortunately given time to explain, had to explain again why she had become like this, where she had sold all her clothes, waving her hands and feet in front of Seohee. Her Unni’s eyes were scary. Ten times scarier than Arena.

As the long time of explanation came to an end, Seohee closed her eyes and sighed deeply.

Was it over? Did she believe her?

Kkong!

“Aya!”

A pain was suddenly felt in the crown of her head. She was cruel. She was flicking it with her bent middle finger. It really hurt.

“It’s true!”

“I believe you.”

“Then why are you hitting me!”

“How can you just follow a man to his house like that!”

Kkong!

Another flick to her head. It hurt so much. Before she knew it, she was squatting down, holding her crown.

“I should hit your butt, you b*tch.”

“Uawoo, don’t do it-“

This time, she pinched and pulled her cheeks. Why were her Unni’s hands so spicy? She felt like she was going to cry. In the midst of that, Seohee smiled as she looked at Chayeon, who was desperately protecting her butt. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like she was really going to hit her.

“Oh my, I can’t live because of you, really.”

“It’s okay if nothing happened.”

“This kid, still!”

“Hiccup, I’m sorry.”

Why was she hiccuping at times like this? It seemed like she was really scared.

After being lectured for a long time and receiving a dogeza vow that she would never do that again, Seohee released Chayeon. She couldn’t bring herself to follow the words of standing with her hands up. It was humiliating.

“Come and eat.”

“…I don’t have much of an appetite.”

Seeing her Unni glaring at her, she sat at the table silently. Since she was at fault, she shrunk without knowing it. That’s why you shouldn’t live while sinning.

“Give me a little bit.”

“Okay.”

After finishing her meal while picking at it, she put her rice bowl in the dishwashing tub. After brushing her teeth, she held her phone and was lounging on the living room sofa as she was, when she heard nagging from Seohee, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen.

“Don’t lie down right after eating.”

“Ah, I know! Really, you’re not Unni, you’re Mom.”

Chayeon, who knew that there was no good in rebelling against Seohee’s words, quickly got up and went into her room. Anyway, she was always making her meals, washing the dishes, cleaning, and accepting her spoiled self, so she should at least listen to her well since she couldn’t do anything.

She turned on her computer. After running the cleaning program once as usual, she found Jindal on the desktop, where half of the screen was filled with icons of various programs, and double-clicked it. A familiar logo appeared and the loading screen appeared.

Teacher Heukgu said he did Jindal too.

Drip, drip. Raindrops began to hit the window one by one, and soon, heavy rain began to pour down like before.

Swaaaaa- The world was submerged.

Heukgu asked.

-Are you having fun?

She was having fun.

-Stop your ridiculous play.

What was a ridiculous play. That’s not it. This is right. This is what’s normal.

What was she saying. It was incomprehensible. Her heart was agitated. It was a pleasant time, but she felt uneasy because the events from earlier came to her mind.

Maybe that teacher was a little crazy after all. His face was handsome, he was tall, and his voice was good, but his name and personality were a bit pitiful. Ah, his tone too.

‘She had finally met a heavy user.’

The White Witch and Blue Dragon figures flickered before her eyes. Ah, she shouldn’t have refused. She should have taken one. She was crazy for saying those words there. What if she was a little upset? It was the White Witch! It was the Blue Dragon! It was so expensive!!

Let’s forget it. What could she do now? She put her hand on the keyboard and focused. Jindal supported both mobile and PC, but Chayeon preferred PC over mobile. Yesterday, she had been doing it on mobile on the bed until late at night, but if possible, she liked PC. The difficulty was already terrible, but it was too difficult if she did it on mobile.

“Ah, I died again!”

The last boss, Mephistopheles. She had no idea how to catch this. She had to arrange the playable characters appropriately, but no matter what combination she made, there was no hope.

Was this even made to be cleared? What was she supposed to do if she got one-shotted even though she had pulled the Heukgumiho and matched her items. Was the problem her hands after all?

If she entrusted it to Arena, who was good at everything, she might clear it easily. As she was having those thoughts, a messenger came.

[Picture]

[-How is it? I tried making pound cake!]

[-It’ll be delicious, right? If you ask me]

[-There’s nothing I can’t bring!]

[-Emoticon]

It was from Arena. As Chayeon chuckled, KakaoTalk came in one after another.

[-What are you doing? You’re home, right?]

[Yeah. Thinking of Arena..]

There was no reply. Wasn’t she flustered?

[I was jealous of you..]

[-Jealous?]

[Just haha]

Hmm, if she sent this, she would be so worried, right? But she couldn’t think of any words to send.

[-Why are you like this?]

[-Can I go to your house now?]

[Because I can’t clear the game-], it was a lie

[I was jealous because I thought Arena would clear it hahaha-]

[-Ah, what]

[-Emoticon]

While Chayeon was exchanging messages with Arena like that, and while occasionally calling and playing the game, it was already twelve o’clock.

She had been scolded by Unni and Arena because she had slept late yesterday, and there was a reason to wake up early tomorrow, so she had to stop here today. She turned off the game, which she hadn’t been able to clear, and lay down in her place.

As she lay alone in the dark room, all sorts of thoughts came to her mind. The room was filled with the sound of rain. The raindrops were fiercely hitting the window, tatadaktadak.

Perhaps because she had gone to bed earlier than usual, she was wide awake.

Or was it? As she lay still, she seemed to gradually feel her eyelids getting heavier. Her eyes closed. The boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness crumbled. A sensation as if her body was floating.

She could hear her heartbeat unusually loudly. She could even feel her pulse throbbing, and a strange sensation ran throughout her body.

She heard a buzzing sound in her ear, and then a beep rang.

The sound got louder. It got louder. It got louder and louder. It was scary.

The beep sounded like a woman’s scream or laughter. Or was it a cry?

Her body wouldn’t move.

Was she having sleep paralysis?

Her heart pounded. The woman’s cry grew louder and louder. It kept getting louder.

-Jeon Chayeon! Get up quickly!

Huh?

-Bang!!

“Kyaaaa!!”

A thunderbolt struck, and she jumped up from the bed.

“Hooak, hooak.”

Her whole body was wet with cold sweat.

That’s right. She had properly been having sleep paralysis, but she seemed to have been released by the sound of thunder.

Her chest was wet with sweat, and she felt chilly.

Her heart was still pounding.

Calm down. She could fall asleep again. If she fell asleep quickly.

-It’s scary.

She was scared that she would hear the same sound again, so she couldn’t lie down. Ugh, it was an injury to her pride, but she couldn’t help it.

She grabbed her pillow and approached her Unni’s room and knocked on the door.

“Unni?”

“Yeah? Come in.”

After receiving permission, she opened the door timidly, and Seohee widened her eyes. Her eyes turned to the pillow Chayeon was holding.

“Pfft.”

“Ah, don’t laugh.”

“OHOF?”

“It’s not because of the thunder.”

“Yeee, yeee.”

It was true, but as she was hesitating in front of the door, Seohee lifted the blanket and patted the bed.

“Come in quickly.”

At those words, she quickly approached, dug into the blanket, and wriggled into her arms. Seohee stroked Chayeon’s forehead and was startled.

“Oh my, why are you sweating so much.”

“I had sleep paralysis.”

“Oh my. You should have wiped off the sweat.”

While saying that, Seohee held Chayeon in her arms. It was warm and cozy.

She felt like the sound of rain had decreased since she came into Seohee’s room. The bed also felt more fluffy. While feeling comfortable, she felt uneasy for some reason.

Was it because Teacher Heokgu had said something strange earlier?

“Unni.”

“Yeah?”

“You’re not going anywhere, right?”

“What are you suddenly saying.”

“You’re not going anywhere and leave me, right?”

Without even knowing why she was doing it, Chayeon was swept up in anxiety and repeated the same question.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere.”

“Chayeon just has to live like this. Come to Unni whenever you’re scared. It’s okay.”

“Don’t go anywhere.”

“I’m not going anywhere. Now let’s go to sleep quickly.”

While receiving Seohee’s touch, who was stroking her gently as if she were soothing a young child, Chayeon slowly fell into a dream.

Even though she had woken up earlier than usual, her Unni had already woken up and had set up breakfast.

As if she had predicted that Chayeon would wake up early, her portion was also prepared. She was really a strange person.

She packed her extra school uniform over her pajamas and set off on her bicycle. Seohee looked at Chayeon’s state strangely, but whatever. If it was comfortable, that was it. This was such a good outfit.

As soon as she arrived at school, she headed to the faculty room. Fortunately, Teacher Heokgu had come out early in the morning too. There was Teacher Heokgu’s seat in the faculty room. She hadn’t noticed it at all until now.

She had to get her underwear and school uniform back quickly before the other kids saw them. She had endured temptation and slept early and went to school early because of that.

“Teacher.”

“Is that Chayeon.”

She had thought that it would be awkward because of what had happened yesterday, but surprisingly, she didn’t feel anything when she went closer and saw him again. Heokgu was also calm as if nothing had happened.

After checking the clothes that were neatly packed in a paper bag, she bowed. She was a little embarrassed to show her underwear, but it was okay because it was Teacher Heokgu.

The foxy teacher.

“Next Wednesday, you’ve cleared your schedule, right?”

“…Yes?”

“Home visit, it’s your turn.”

A home visit. Did high schools have something like that?

Heokgu stared at Chayeon quietly.

-That’s right, that’s what happened. There was something like that.

“Yes, there won’t be anything special.”

“I see.”

After bowing again, she was leaving the faculty room when she ran into a familiar face.

A gentle impression in a bright atmosphere. A face like a young nobleman who would come out in a romance comic. He was a popular person in the school that girls were crazy about, but he didn’t give Chayeon any feelings.

Was it because they were childhood friends she had known for a long time?

“Hwiyu~”

It was Jo Namyeon.
