“—.”

The sound of the refrigerator fills the quiet one-room apartment.

Light comes in little by little through the curtains.

I lay in bed, blankly staring at the dust floating in the light.

I don’t want to think about anything.

The moment I think about it, memories of yesterday come flooding back like a tide, messing up my mind.

I just hope the feelings from that day fade away quickly.

When I think about that time, my stomach still clenches.

It’s so ticklish that it’s unbearable. It’s so ticklish that it’s unbearable.

I just lay there, limp, with my thighs curled up.

Because of my developed body, my lower body got so wet that I couldn’t control it.

My fingers kept twitching, as if I wanted to imitate the fingers of the enemy who had been teasing me.

I’m really afraid that I’ll end up doing that every week like she said.

To somehow prevent that, I put my finger in my mouth and bit it hard.

But even as I was biting, the face of the sensual enemy kept appearing in my mind.

The next day, when I opened my eyes, I thought the enemy had left irresponsibly.

But she was still there when I woke up.

She was wearing a bra and had a huge snake tattoo on her waist.

She came back leisurely after smoking a cigarette on the veranda.

And he gave me a cleanser and silently taught me how to use it.

But that kind of advice didn’t even fall on deaf ears.

On the contrary, it only made me feel more like a dirty woman.

A completely different kind of pleasure that men have never felt before.

The moment I felt that, I realized the irreversible reality.

That I am no longer Do-hyeon, but Si-ho who is happy just by having my legs touched.

After returning home alone, I just lay down to forget about the fact.

I don’t want to do anything.

He also ignored all calls from his enemies.

A little… tired.

I spent the whole morning like that, and soon noon came.

“…”

I can hear the sound of shoes in the hallway.

It must be someone who lives next door.

I closed my eyes with that thought.

But soon I had no choice but to open my eyes again.

Because the footsteps that had been clearly audible stopped in front of our house.

“—!”

Someone is knocking on the front door.

Why are you calling when there’s a doorbell right there?

My body flinched involuntarily at the violent knocking.

I swallowed deeply and slowly sat up.

Could it be the enemy?

You came here because I didn’t answer your phone?

You’re not going to punish me again like yesterday, are you?

Just thinking about it makes my stomach flutter.

“…”

When I didn’t answer, the knocking soon died down.

and…

A clanking sound began to be heard from the doorknob.

I soon realize what that sound means.

Someone is opening the door.

Sweat drips down my spine.

I hurriedly got up from my slumped position and ran to the front door.

It needs to be locked.

Before forcing it open.

I stumbled and barely made it to the shoe rack.

The moment I reached out to grab the iron hook.

The strong sunlight outside began to pour in.

At that moment, I froze and saw a black shadow.

“…”

ha…

The moment I realized the shadow’s identity, I let out a deep sigh.

“Anna… I was surprised…”

Beautiful white hair and white eyes.

Anna, wearing only a black jacket over a sleeveless top, looks down at me expressionlessly.

There was a pin in her hand.

Oh my god, you opened the door with just one skewer?

It seems like you learned a lot from Seonye.

“I thought he was dead because there was no response.”

“No way…”

I fumbled with the wall, clutching my messy hair.

Anna stares at the sight.

“Are you okay?”

Is he worried about me now?

I turned my head at the unexpected reaction.

Then Anna stared at my haggard face with dark circles under its eyes.

I look terrible because I’ve been lying around all day.

“Yeah… I’m fine.”

I smiled brightly at her.

Anna closed the door and followed me leisurely into the room.

The killer looked around my room calmly.

Unlike other girls, my house doesn’t smell particularly fragrant.

Because the elixir that was on my body was completely released.

“Would you like something to drink?”

“No, it’s okay. Looking at your appearance, I don’t think I can express my feelings today.”

Oh, right.

Today I was going to teach Anna how to act like other people.

I had completely forgotten about it.

I sat down on the bed and took a moment to collect my thoughts.

Should we go out together right now?

Anna hesitated because of her tired body, but she made a decision on her own.

“I’ll just go. You look sick.”

Do I look sick?

I guess you can’t fool a killer.

I stroked my shaking arm.

And then he stared at Anna as she prepared to go out.

If she leaves, I will be left alone again.

And in this darkness, I will struggle like crazy to forget the feelings of yesterday.

It could be a few minutes, a few hours, maybe even a day or even a week.

What if it gets completely ruined?

My body trembles at the sight of me sticking my tongue out and calling the enemy master.

The moment I recall that scene, my lips part.

“I, Anna…”

Anna suddenly turned her head at the words that came out instinctively.

Empty, cloudy eyes stare at me.

But today, those eyes looked so peaceful to me.

Like a calm lake with no worries.

“I’m sorry… Could you stay with me for a moment..?”

Anna didn’t respond to my words right away.

He blinked his eyes thoughtfully, as if trying to understand the meaning.

“Just a moment. Just a moment…”

I forced a smile through the droopy corners of my eyes.

Anna then slowly nods her head at that decadent smile.

I tapped on one side of the bed.

Then Anna sat there leisurely.

“…”

Like a doll, it is silent and not even a sound of breathing can be heard.

But just having her sitting next to me made me feel comfortable.

It feels like there’s a long-time, silent friend by my side.

If Jeoksa feels like a dependable boyfriend, Anna feels like a childhood friend.

Only then was I able to breathe comfortably.

After a long time, I enjoyed the fragrant scent of her soap to my heart’s content.

My body relaxed and I slowly leaned my head on her shoulder.

And then I relaxed my grip just enough to press down on the ball.

During that time, I could hear the refrigerator running in my house.

All that could be heard was the sound of children kicking a ball outside in the warmth.

“What happened?”

“No… I was just a little depressed.”

I closed my eyes and spoke leisurely.

Then Anna followed me, tilting her head and resting her cheek on the crown of my head.

“Depressed?”

“Yeah… right, you don’t really know what being depressed means.”

The explanation of ‘depression’ begins calmly from a ball that stretches like glutinous rice cake.

“I guess it’s the feeling of being left alone in this big world… I think depression is when no one understands you.”

“I see…”

Anna muttered with her cheek pressed against my forehead.

Perhaps such vague expressions will not make her understand right away.

Anna is such a rational and cool-headed killer…

But the answer I got from her was completely different from what I expected.

“I think I know a little bit.”

Anna blinked and looked at the dripping sink, just like me.

Soon she asks me.

“Did the enemy make you sad?”

I flinched at the name of the enemy that came out so indifferently.

Just hearing her name makes my body tingle.

Like a puppy whose name was called by its owner.

“That’s not it… But how did you know there was an enemy love?”

When I ask, Anna answers with blank eyes.

“You smell like that bitch’s perfume.”

I raised my wrist involuntarily at her words.

I quickly put my nose up to it and sniffed.

weird.

It doesn’t smell anything in particular…

“Should I kill you?”

“Ah, no… The enemy is my master… no, he’s my friend.”

I almost lost my words.

Every time her story came up, my body became sensitive and I coughed.

“Anna.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s just stay like this.”

I muttered the exact same lines someone had said to me.

Luckily, Anna didn’t ask me why.

We spent a few minutes just leaning against each other.

But… that silence didn’t last long.

My stupid body was the problem again.

“—.”

Is it because I just lay around all day without eating anything?

There was a rumbling sound in the stomach.

“Are you hungry?”

Anna asks.

I, who was embarrassed, covered my stomach and lowered my head.

And he shook his head so hard that his tangled hair blew.

“No…it’s okay.”

“Being hungry is inefficient. Calculations are slowed down and actions are less efficient.”

Anna spoke logically, as if analyzing.

That’s not the problem…

I spent a long time wondering how to explain this to this idiot.

But in the meantime, Anna got up and headed to the refrigerator.

Soon she was holding eggs and onions in her hands.

no way…

“I’d like to borrow the kitchen.”

She took off her jacket.

Then her firm, smooth shoulders and arm muscles come into view.

It is a beautiful, sleek form that is not at all shabby.

My mouth started watering at the sight.

At that moment, I closed my eyes tightly.

Obviously, the weakness has left the body.

But why do I have such strange thoughts…

I’ve been trying to stay in my thoughts all day, but I’m only wearing sleeveless clothes…

“Really, I’m not hungry…”

“I’m hungry.”

Anna says firmly, tying her apron.

When I paused for a moment, she turned her head and continued stir-frying rice in silence.

That was the first time in my life that I saw a killer wearing an apron.

Surprisingly, she was very good at cooking.

Like someone who has been eating only fried rice from me for the rest of their life.

Soon, a steaming bowl of golden fried rice appears in the middle of the table.

Rating: ★★★★ (Epic)

Effect: Restores 60% of the user’s stamina.

Information: Fried rice made with simple ingredients found at home.

The ingredients are ordinary, but the perfect fried rice was created by following an internet recipe almost exactly.

A flawless dish, steeped in the killer’s meticulousness.

The fragrant smell of onions fills the house.

The smell made me swallow my saliva.

Anna picked up her spoon without even paying attention to me.

And then I put some rice on a plate and ate the fried rice in silence.

I glance at Anna like that.

Then the killer stopped eating for a moment and silently took out another plate.

“If you want to eat, eat.”

At her words, I approached the table hesitantly.

And then he sat down on the chair, keeping an eye out for the others.

A four-star fried rice…

This is a higher grade than the one I made last time.

This is probably because I copied the recipe from the internet.

I imagined Anna reading the recipe carefully with clouded eyes.

Just thinking about it…

cute.

Is it because I imagined that scene?

The corners of my lips, which had been drooping without me knowing, go up.

“Then let’s just have a taste…”

I tried scooping up some of the fried rice with a spoon.

And then slowly put it in your mouth.

The warm onions and eggs melt in your mouth.

Oh my gosh… this is so delicious…

Maybe Anna is better at making fried rice than Jiwook.

I had swallowed about two spoonfuls.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp gaze from ahead.

“Why did you reject me when you were going to eat so well?”

“Huh…?”

When I came to my senses, the fried rice on my plate was almost empty.

When did I finish eating it all…

Looking at that sight, I can’t help but remember the day I made fried rice for Anna in the past.

She also rejected it at first, saying it was inefficient food, but then she ended up eating it all.

This is how it feels…

I let out a deep sigh.

It wasn’t a sigh of denial.

It’s a sigh of relief, like returning home.

Maybe it’s because it’s been so long since I’ve had a home-cooked meal, but my heart feels heavy.

The feeling soon rose up my throat and made my eyes hot.

Why am I like this…

I couldn’t stand the dazzling eyes.

I sniffled and wiped my eyes with the back of my hand.

“Are you okay? Are you sick again?”

“No…I don’t know…”

Why did I start crying so much?

I couldn’t figure out why I had become so sensitive.

“Anna, do I look like a girl to you?”

Anna tilts her head at the absurd question.

Surely she would scold me for asking a stupid question.

It’s impossible to deny the girl’s true appearance.

The answer from the rational Anna is obvious.

“What is feminine?”

Surprisingly, she asked me back my question.

Thanks to that, my head went blank for a moment.

“Huh…?”

What is feminine?

“You are just you. You can’t be defined by such adjectives.”

That answer made me stop eating for a moment.

I stared up at the beautiful woman from Russia.

She also emptied her plate and stared at me with her chin resting on her hand.

She speaks to me with her eyes closed.

“Let’s go out.”

“Let’s go out?”

I reflexively asked back at her sudden suggestion.

Anna answers blandly.

◦It’s not good to stay inside “. It’s inefficient.”

I felt it in that moment.

Her speech has softened somewhat.
