by fnovelpiaJeong Jeong-ah has been family since she was born, and Hazel is family from now on. So, there is no need to be ashamed of the things I have done, such as burying my face in my cleavage and making a fuss. Where can I start a rumor?
But Baek Harin is different.
We were strangers since we were born, and after we broke up once in a relationship, our relationship became worse than that of other people who were embarrassed to even meet each other.
Of course, I am the only one who is embarrassed to meet Baek Harin because of her personality that is cooler than dry ice, but it is true that we have become worse friends than others.
I was the one who pretended to be strong in front of Baek Harin. If it were true that I showed such a brat-like behavior in bed, the shame would be enough to cause me to commit suicide and would drive me to the Han River.
“No, let’s not bring it up… I’m not a bitch to worry about things like this, so nothing will happen…”
Still, I thought Baek Harin was a bitch who wouldn’t make fun of me or criticize others for things like this, so I decided to put it aside for now and chalk it up to my excessive self-consciousness.
“Jeong Seo-ah, if you just don’t clean your mouth… are you okay. It will happen.”
From what I know, Jeong Jeong-ah is quite soft-spoken. However, this year, there aren’t many people I can call acquaintances. At most, it would be Seo Yu-chae or Baek Har-rin. I won’t talk about myself or talk to people I meet online.
-Dalkak,
While I was lost in thought and worry for a while, the bedroom door suddenly opened and Hazel stuck her head out through the crack in the door.
“Master.”
“S-sorry…!”
Hazel didn’t show any signs of being angry or anything. She had already been wiping her mouth while making a fuss just a moment ago, and I thought she might have come back to scold me for that.
“Suddenly? Are you having an affair?”
But Hazel tilted her head with an expression on her face that made no sense. Could it be that he couldn’t hear a single sound I made with his good hearing?
“Ah, no… Because of the swearing I did earlier… I’m really sorry…!”
“Hmm…”
Hazel used physical force mercilessly whenever a curse came out of my mouth. However, this time, even after hearing my confession, he only thought for a moment and did not even enter the room, let alone use violence.
“When I think about how I buried my face in my ex-lover’s chest and got angry, I can’t help but curse. Hehehe.”
“As expected, it was real… Ahhh!”
It seems that my thoughts are correct, as it includes details that I did not mention. It seems that Baek Harin may have said something to Hazel, even if others didn’t know about it.
“Still, don’t swear. This time, I’ll pretend I’m paying back with shame.”
“I’ll be careful…”
If Hazel had been like me when I first met her, I would have kicked her at one curse word until she broke somewhere.
Looking at Hazel now, who is trying to punish her with shame, it becomes clear that her personality has become toxic.
“Anyway, wash it.”
But Hazel’s words that followed were like a bolt from the blue to me. It’s been a while since I’ve been squeezing with my chest and mouth, so she’s telling me to wash again, you crazy bitch.
“Can’t we do it tomorrow…? I, I will do it without complaining tomorrow…!”
“Hehe~ You should do that. Anyway, since you are going out, don’t be afraid and wash your hands comfortably.”
“Ah… Yes.”
I was excited because I thought it was about rolling around in bed again, but the reason Hazel ordered me to shower was because she was going out.
“Think about having an interview at a company and wash yourself clean. It’s an important position.”
“I understand…”
I don’t know why I’m emphasizing this because where on earth are you going out? Washing is something you don’t have to worry about because you always wash thoroughly.
What I need to worry about now is the purpose of going out. Considering that I was asked to wash my face as if I were going for an interview, it is clear that it is a very important task.
“But where on earth are you going…?”
“Hmm… Wash it thoroughly. Hehehe.”
-Squeak, click,
After listening to me and thinking for a moment, Hazel lowered her head and closed the door without even answering the question. I can’t even resist if they drag me to hell anyway, so what’s the point if I just say something?
“After···. Life.”
Like now, every time my every word is ignored as if it was nothing, I feel a strong shock.
I’m not doing this simply because I’m afraid of what might happen if I don’t tell them my destination.
Hazel casually blurts out nuanced remarks that ignore my right to self-determination as if to show off, and even though she chews my questions off as if they are natural, she doesn’t show even a trace of apology, and I inevitably lament the passive daily life where I can’t even protest.
To put it simply, I feel like I am not living my life. Since every action is not done with my own will, I don’t feel motivated even for something as trivial as scooping a spoonful of rice.
This is an extremely unfamiliar and difficult experience for me, who has never had much experience in my life not being respected as a human being, down to the smallest detail.
Still, I am grateful that I have enough time to lament this internally. Compared to the past, when I was picked on, beaten, and bullied without even a moment to reflect, it’s almost a luxury. And unlike others, his legs are still attached well.
I have some hopes that this situation will get a little better as time goes by and the child is born and the relationship changes from something similar to the current master-slave relationship to a normal marital relationship. Because it is not good for education to openly ignore and trample on me in front of my child. This is probably something Hazel knows well.

“······Where is this…?”
Hazel carefully dressed me in a suit and brought me to a huge building that I had never been to before.
It’s not my first time here. I passed this building several times while walking around Gangnam, but this was my first time entering the parking lot like this.
“This is the workplace where the owner will work in the future.”
“No, it was a real interviewㅡ?!”
They told me to wash my face as if I was going to have an interview at a company, but I never imagined that I would actually come for an interview.
“Hehe. The owner is so cute when he is surprised.”
“Ah, no… Then, you should have given me a hint in advance so I can prepare…!”
“It’s okay. The owner is bound to stick around anyway. The suit is just for courtesy, so don’t worry.”
How on earth is this company so bad that even a quick look at it without preparing for an interview gives me a free pass? Anxiety creeps in, wondering if it’s something beyond the bullshit.
“Well, I’ll just get ready and go to a normal company…”
“Don’t worry. You saw it when you came in, right? Building size.”
“No… You’re probably just renting out a portion of it…!”
Unless it is a fairly large corporation, no building, no matter how large, is entirely owned by the company. Rent or use as much as you need. Therefore, it is quite dangerous to judge the level of a company simply by looking at the size of the building.
“No. Most of it is confidential and nothing is known about it, so it’s the size of a fairly large company?”
If most of it is confidential, that explains why I don’t have any information, but it’s questionable how much a company that big can hide in the first place. Unless it is an embargo almost at the level of the National Intelligence Service, it is surprising that there is so little information.
“Ah, I understand…”
“If you understand, take it down now. There really is nothing wrong, so just relax.”
Hazel, who had just turned off the engine in the driver’s seat, urged me as she unfastened her belt.
“Yes…”
Hazel kept urging me not to be nervous, but perhaps because of the pressure the word ‘interview’ gave me, I couldn’t shake off my nerves even as I walked up to the interview room.

As I walked up to the interview room, I was truly shocked by the company’s level of security.
While arriving at the interview site, Hazel had to verify her identity twice with security guards at the parking lot entrance and the lobby, and security was so tight that she could not even take the elevator without the card key she was holding.
The sight of all the security guards wearing bulletproof vests with firearms on their belts that could be either live ammunition or gas guns was enough to create a sense of intimidation for me, who had never even seen a gun since I had never served in the military.
What was unique about it was that all the guards were women and they were quite large.
There were even different hair and eye colors, and the man’s nose was not even visible.
At this point I was able to get a general idea. This means that this company is not run by beings who can truly be called ‘humans’. I think most cases are like Hazel.
“Now, you have to go through the interview alone. You’re an adult in your own right, right?”
“I know…”
As a full-fledged adult, it is natural for me to enter the interview room alone.
However, thanks to the brutal atmosphere of the company that I felt upon entering, I secretly hoped that Hazel would go into the interview room with me. Because you never know what will happen.
“Please come in. Relax.”
“Ah, I understand…”
