Chapter Index

    One.

    Hyunwoo stroked the pale Hyeji for a while longer.

    Soon, some color returns to her face. He barely manages to pull up the corners of his mouth and smile faintly.

    However, that would only be a temporary incubation rather than an improvement in symptoms. If a broken mind could be restored with a few words like this, all mental hospitals would be closed.

    There is now less than an hour left until work. First, it was necessary to calm her down, even if only as a temporary measure.

    “Look straight at me, baby. Do you still think I’m angry in your eyes?”

    Open your arms, shrug your shoulders, and make a gesture of resentment. A mischievous smile appears on his lips and he blinks his eyes innocently.

    “No, it’s just me, I’m that sorry, so…”

    Hyeji, as was her habit, kept saying words of apology. My heart was still pounding, so I didn’t have time to think of anything else.

    “I say I’m fine, but why do you keep saying sorry? I heard that I’m all relieved.”

    Hyunwoo gets tired of that reaction and ends up subtly scolding her. And now he just opens his mouth as if he has become mute.

    There was something strangely addictive about not being able to do this or that with a single word.

    ‘Shall I bother you a little more?’

    An impulse that was completely opposite to my original intention arose in an instant. A sadistic greed flashes in Hyunwoo’s eyes.

    He opened his mouth without realizing it.

    “Do you think I am a person who is behind the scenes? Do you think I’m such a narrow-minded man?”

    Complaints made lightly with an expression of regret. He grumbled in a monotonous tone, like a child whining.

    It was a blunt word with no sharp edges, but Hyunwoo had somewhat expected that these blunt words would crush her again.

    And she reacted as expected.

    “No, no, absolutely not. What a good person your brother is. I didn’t even think about that.”

    He is startled and hurriedly waves his hand as if he is about to start a fight. She is beating so desperately that her breasts are heaving.

    We are only focused on making the other person feel better, putting aside the anxiety we felt until now. That sight ignited Hyunwoo’s heart even more.

    “Even though I say I’m fine, you keep saying it, so it makes me anxious too. Even though he says he’s not sad in words, I wonder if he’s sad on the inside…”

    As you continue speaking, gradually lower your voice. If you look at it from the outside, it looks like a gentle man who is always watching his girlfriend’s thoughts…

    Hyunwoo hesitated for a moment before continuing the rest of his words.

    “I even woke up this early in the morning to make him feel better… but he keeps doing this and I’m upset.”

    Hyunwoo’s face was very timid as he said those words.

    And surprisingly, with just one word, the perpetrator and the victim are instantly switched.

    A paradoxical situation where you have to feel sorry and ask for forgiveness rather than being comforted for your anxiety.

    As always, Hye-ji is forced to be cast in the role given to her by Hyun-woo.

    “Oppa, I was wrong. Because I’m anxious… uh… um…”

    She urgently grabbed Hyunwoo’s hand and appealed in a desperate voice. I was so upset because I couldn’t think of anything else to say that I was sorry for my brother’s scolding.

    “I’m not sad at all, I’m just thankful that my brother woke me up. Really. I was completely impressed.”

    After she stopped saying sorry, all she came up with was thank you. I pour out those words hurriedly and look at Hyunwoo’s notice.

    I was anxious because I felt like I had made a mistake. I felt like I was losing my mind little by little.

    Hyunwoo held back his laughter at that sight and stared into her eyes.

    Then he opened his mouth with a serious face, as if asking for an answer.

    “But why were you so restless, like I did something?”

    What kind of words will come out of this woman’s mouth this time? Hyunwoo’s body trembled with anticipation.

    Even with this question, I couldn’t tell whether I would blame myself, or if I would belatedly turn the arrow back to the perpetrator in front of me.

    She flinches at Hyunwoo’s sudden words and rolls her eyes pitifully, trying to find an appropriate answer.

    “Uh… It’s just that I just woke up, so I guess I was a little out of it.”

    Hyeji hesitated for a moment and finally came up with a good excuse. I nod, dismissing the anxiety I felt until now as mere sleep talking.

    Her rationalization was already well out of her control.

    I just did whatever I could to get my anxiety tolerated.

    Hyunwoo could no longer hold back the laughter that was bursting out of his mouth and smiled to his heart’s content.

    “Ah, what is that? So was it just like sleep talking?”

    Only then did Hyeji awkwardly laugh along and straighten her shrunken shoulders. I was just glad that my brother was laughing out loud.

    ‘Should I stop at this point and comfort you again?’

    I was very satisfied with the situation up until now.

    I was worried that yesterday’s corporal punishment might have been excessive, so I even set an alarm. If the passion of the night before was washed away while she slept, her mind might become clearer.

    However, the PTSD symptoms she displayed gave her unexpected results.

    The original goal was to direct her first emotion of the day in a positive direction, thereby covering up yesterday’s negative emotions.

    I thought that was enough, but I also got another confession that everything was her fault.

    He even went so far as to say that the anxiety he felt up until now was just sleep-talking, even though he woke up in a normal state of mind.

    Hyunwoo decided to play one last little prank and end the game.

    “Then smile brightly at me. So that I can feel at ease, saying I love you.”

    As soon as Hyeji heard those words, she lifted the corners of her mouth enough to reveal her pure white teeth. I can barely make out a big smile with my trembling cheeks.

    “Oppa, thank you for this morning’s event. i love you so much You know I’m yours, right?”

    A terrible tragedy. Be sorry in situations where you should be angry, and smile in situations where you should cry.

    Maybe the word comedy would be more appropriate.

    Hyunwoo really liked the irony of the current situation.

    Urge an anxious person to apologize in return. And then he even forces laughter. I couldn’t help but be happy.

    “I love you too.”

    Hyunwoo gave her a light smile and kissed her lips. This was a pretty neat ending.

    “Are you feeling better now? Do you want to go take a shower?”

    “Ah, yes. Then, I will wash first and come out.”

    Hyeji hurriedly got up and ran to the bathroom at Hyunwoo’s words.

    I turned on the water in the sink, looked in the mirror, and caught my breath.

    I couldn’t understand why I was so anxious just now.

    When I think back, it feels like I was standing in front of my drunk father when I was young…

    ‘Hey, what kind of nonsense is this? ‘What a kind person your brother is.’

    She shook her head vigorously as if trying to shake off the foolish thoughts she had just had.

    My brother loves himself. The sweet morning greeting just now is proof of that.

    Hyeji smiled, recalling the gentle touch and voice that woke her up. There were some small and minor problems, but it was a pleasant morning anyway.

    Hyunwoo lay down on the bed listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

    Just now, he had lightly teased a woman’s soul with the tip of his tongue. He gave me a bottle and then gave me medicine.

    He smiled deeply, savoring the small sense of omnipotence that welled up deep in his heart.

    Between his lying legs, his dick was so erect that it almost reached the ceiling.

    2.

    Hyunwoo followed Hyeji and went out together. The destination is the store where she works.

    On the outside, he said he wanted to see off his beloved girlfriend, but in reality, this was nothing more than an excuse.

    As far as pouring love into her head, what I had done so far was enough.

    Hyunwoo dropped her off and went home to have work to do.

    “Are you so happy that I go with you? Are we really excited?”

    Hyunwoo’s smiling face shone under the late spring sunlight. Even though he simply wet his head with water, there was not the slightest hint of shabbiness on his face.

    Even the small, sprouting beard gave off a strangely masculine charm.

    And a good-looking shell has always been a good camouflage that hides the ugly inside. Hyeji blushed without even the slightest guess about Hyunwoo’s intentions.

    My heart flutters once again at the thought that this man is my boyfriend. I leaned in close and hugged his strong forearm.

    “Yes, this is my first time doing something like this. Every time I go out, my brother always sleeps in, and it makes me think that we are really dating…”

    “Me? Was it like that?”

    “Don’t you remember? How disgusting it was to see this! I intentionally resisted the urge to shake him and wake him up.”

    Hyeji grumbled as she spoke, but contrary to her words, her face was full of smiles.

    Although it was the road I always walked to work, everything felt unfamiliar and exciting, like the road I walked for the first time. There was no need to say that it was because of Hyunwoo walking next to him.

    Hyunwoo stroked her hair and said playfully.

    “Baby, then, does the world seem beautiful now?”

    “Huh?”

    “No, there is a saying like that. When you fall in love, the world seems beautiful.”

    Hye-ji looks around the street after hearing Hyun-woo giggling softly.

    Hyeji knew that she couldn’t deny Hyunwoo’s words even without looking around.

    Because I had just recently clearly felt that the world I knew had changed 180 degrees.

    “That’s right. It looks more beautiful. I guess I really fell in love.”

    Hyeji nodded and smiled brightly. Now he’s even humming a song and playing with his feet cheerfully like an excited child.

    Hyunwoo smiled silently with an expression that said he loved her so much.

    In fact, leaving home as early as now was unplanned until yesterday.

    Originally, I had planned to let Hyeji go and enjoy a leisurely nap in the morning, and then wake up when I got hungry.

    However, Hyeji’s anxiety symptoms just now changed his plans.

    In order not to waste the hidden piece I was lucky enough to obtain, I needed to go home and think about my future plans.

    Therefore, he willingly told her that he would take her to her after she had washed up.

    Although the plan was modified due to unexpected variables, everything went back to his plan.

    “We’re all here. It’s across the street, right?”

    Hyeji frowned unconsciously at Hyunwoo’s words. I was so sad that it had already arrived that I couldn’t bear it.

    She said something she didn’t mean to say without letting go of the hand she was holding.

    “You don’t have to cross the crosswalk together, so let’s go get on the bus right away. Are you going to your brother’s house?”

    Hyunwoo chuckled after hearing that. Contrary to what she said, her hands and body showed no signs of leaving her.

    “No, I’ve come all the way here. I’ll take you to the front of the store.”

    Then, Hyunwoo also added strength to his clasped hands as if confessing that he would never let go of these hands.

    Hyeji must have sensed that as well, nodding her head at once with a smile on her face.

    In front of the store we arrived soon. It took a long time just to cross the crossing because Hyeji was dragging her feet slowly.

    She seemed to be unable to soothe her regret and hugged Hyunwoo and muttered.

    “Oppa… Should I just work part-time today? I want to stay with you, but… tell me you’re sick?”

    Looking into her eyes, it seemed like this wasn’t just something she was saying. As soon as Hyunwoo nods his head, he seems ready to turn away.

    “I can see you again after work. Use the money you earned from working today to buy me something delicious for dinner later.”

    Hyunwoo was a little annoyed by her, but he tried to hide his feelings and gently pushed her away.

    It felt like forcing a kindergartener who didn’t want to be away from his parents to go to school.

    It was nice to see that this woman’s obsession had grown to the point where she was throwing away her daily life, but she had other things to do today.

    To say a final goodbye to her, I gently pulled her around her slender waist.

    “Baby, do your best today!”

    side –

    While speaking, I lightly kissed her lips. And this time, he said something he didn’t even mean to say.

    “Shall I come pick you up later at night?”

    Hyeji smiled and opened her mouth, as if just saying the words made her feel good.

    “Ah, why bother? You don’t have to. Just having you take me there is enough to impress me.”

    “I understand. Send me a KakaoTalk message before I finish work. First, I’ll go home and get some rest. ”

    Hyeji put her regrets behind her and hurried towards the store. However, after only a few steps, he turns his head again.

    Hyunwoo was still waving his hand with a bright smile on his face.

    She smiled broadly and shook her head in response.

    Soon, when Hyeji’s appearance completely disappeared from sight, Hyunwoo turned his back without any hesitation.

    He took off his mask and his face was frowning.

    No matter how much he decided to do it, he couldn’t help the annoyance.

    The more it happened, the stronger Hyunwoo’s decision became. I need to destroy her as quickly as possible.

    Fortunately, the clue was visible. Symptoms likely to be PTSD. The cause and method of causing the symptom will be a good clue.
