Of course, the first thing that came out of my mouth were swears.
If I hadn’t properly ended things back then, what exactly, to the owner, were you going to introduce me as! That I’m your girlfriend? No, I was your girlfriend, but it turned out I was your boyfriend?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt dizzy and angry.
No matter who looked at it, wasn’t it obvious that this fuss was to intimidate me.
However, Shin Heejae smiled at me, who was angry, as if it was nothing. Then he casually took off his shoes and went inside the house.
I blankly stared at this sight, but later came to my senses and immediately grabbed his arm.
“Hey. You……, where are you going?”
“Then do I keep standing? It’s so narrow that I don’t think you can even come in if I don’t move aside.”
At those words, I gritted my teeth for a while then quickly took off my shoes. Meanwhile, at some moment Shin Heejae had taken a few more steps inside the house and ended up looking around my studio as he pleased.
I liked to spend time at home, so I was the type to neatly decorate it in my own way, but the building was as old as me, so it inevitably showed its age.
I’ve never cared about it before, rather, I liked this space because it was cheap for its condition. In the center of the room, when I saw Shin Heejae standing who did not harmonize with this place even a little bit, I became strangely ashamed. Even just that watch on his wrist would probably be more expensive than the rent in this house…….
‘Shit, why am I thinking about these things…….’
He acted condescending.but in the moment, in a fit of anger because I had been threatened, I folded my arms tightly and told Shin Heejae.
“……Now leave.”
“…….”
However, Shin Hejae glanced at me, ignored my words, and motionlessly stared at one spot on the bed. I followed his gaze and blushed.
At the end of his gaze, there was a white cat doll that Shin Heejae had sent for my birthday along with a cake.
When I went out, I was the sort to sometimes put a pillow under the doll like a person and cover it with a blanket, and of all things, the doll was placed exactly as it was arranged when I went to work today.
“……Hey, I told you to leave. Can you not hear me?”
My face was hot as if it was about to explode, but now that I crossed the limit, embarrassment or whatever, I gave up.
Yeah, you’re probably wondering what kind of bastard I am. But would I have known I’d let you in today. If I knew, would I have come to swap for the chicken! After adjusting my embarrassment level from afar, it seemed that only evil was left.
Whether I did or not, Shin Heejae approached the bed as if he was in his own house, and after lifting the cat doll, turned around and looked at me.
“Isn’t this what I gave you.”
“Oh, that was from you? I didn’t know, so I had it all this while.”
“…….”

However, I couldn’t take back what I had already said.To be honest, maybe I had liked the stupid face of the doll that he had given to me, I tried to throw it away multiple times but hesitated and left it be, how would you say that kind of thing in this atmosphere.

But when I finally said nothing, he muttered to himself.
“……So you’re going to act like that?”
When I heard a cold voice with a drop at the end of the words, I felt choked. But I couldn’t say sorry at the end. I……, I only had thoughts of wanting to get out of this situation.
Shin Heejae grabbed the doll like he wanted to pop it and roughly threw it in the trash can next to the bed. And as if he was going to hit me, he approached me aggressively.
Since we met earlier, I was prepared to get hit a few times, so I didn’t back down and opened my eyes wide.
But…….
“Wh……. Eup!?”
He reached out and grabbed me by the collar as if he was going to hit me and suddenly hit my face with his lips. My front teeth were tingling, and I began to quickly taste blood in my mouth.
This, this right now, what…….
I was distracted by this shocking attack,and after biting my lips for about 3 seconds, he slowly separated himself from my lips.
“…….”
But what was even more ridiculous here was this punk’s expression. This crazy man had kissed me first, and then frowned, as if he had been subjected to something terrible.
Then, when his eyes met with the absent-minded me,I erased my expressionand started looking at him as if nothing had happened.
Although even his eyes were very cold, the corners of his mouth slowly rose to create a face close to a smile.
‘This crazy bastard suddenly sexually assaults a person then laughs?’
Of course, that shameless expression caused me a great deal of anger.
“Hey, you crazy bastard! Right now, what are you……?”
But my swear words were soon blocked.
Even more creepily, without hesitation, Shin Hejae pressed on my lips with his index finger. In movies or dramas, something the male lead would do to the female lead……, I mean that kind of gesture.
Really……. This……. What is this?
It was when I felt a chill down my spine to the point I forgot I was even angry, and stepped back as if I had been pushed. Shin Heejae cut me off and said.
“Noona……. I think it’s possible for me.”
“……What?”
“I’m saying I don’t mind men either.”
What did I just hear? I had that thought, and at the same time, goosebumps began to rise all over my body. It’s possible……? What is……? With a man……?
Looking at my white face, Shin Heejae seemed to be getting more relaxed.
When I looked at that face, I suddenly trembled and violently took off his arm that was holding my face. Then I pointed my finger and shouted.
“Hey, you……. Are you gay?!”
“No? Isn’t the gay one noona.”
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
“If a man pretends to be a woman and seduces a man, they’re gay.”
“This kind of…….”
I couldn’t find anything to refute him so while I was flustered, Shin Heejae steadily narrowed the distance between us. There was no place to back down anymore so I tried to stop him by stretching out my arms, but Shin Heejae simply beat me in a power struggle.
This guy grabbed my elbow and pulled me halfway into his arms. It happened to be that there was a bed right behind him, so I felt chilled, as if I was being dragged to the bed. I struggled, bending Shin Hee-jae’s wrist as much as I could.
“This, why don’t you let go of this?”
Shin Heejae glanced at my arm scratched red and stopped walking. Then he asked an absurd question.
“What’s wrong with your reaction? I said it was alright.”
‘Is this guy out of his mind?’
Is it all fine if you’re okay with it!
It was ridiculous, but for now I quickly pushed him as hard as I could and shouted firmly.
“Shit, I’m not gay! Have I ever said that I like you even once?”
As soon as Shin Hee-jae heard that, his smiling face was erased immediately and he tilted his head. The change of expression made me hesitate, and it was so rapid to the point I froze.
Shin Heejae, with such an expressionless face and his arms crossed, looked at me.
And…….
“Why did you date me when you didn’t like me?”
“…….”
“Why, when you were able to take what you wanted and leave,why did you return the money, awkwardly. While living like this.”
He said that.
His question was one that touched my heart, one that I’ve asked myself countless times over the past two weeks. That’s why I was able to retort right away without changing my complexion this time.
“I’ve said it before, but I gave it back because I was afraid of being sued. If you’re sued, you’ll also get fired……. Anyway, shit, I don’t know what you’re deluded about.”
“…….”
“Just because I returned it, don’t tell me you……. Don’t be mistaken that I like you.”
Shin Hee-jae showed no signs of agitation at the cold words I uttered on purpose. Rather, with his eyes lowered with a bored face, he asked calmly.
“So… because you thought you’d be screwed, you returned it? Without any other feelings at all?”
“……Th, that’s right.”
“From the beginning until now, you just wanted to scam me?Then you were scared because the money was too big?”
“……Yeah.”
“Then it’s all noona’s fault? Pretending to be a woman, seducing naive me and taking both money and food, and even getting a confession and dating, then ghosting me…….”
“…….”
While listening to him, I felt a surge of many unfair feelings, but I thought that this guy would give up if I bent down here, so I hurriedly affirmed.
“……Yeah, it’s all my fault, and I’m sorry. So now stop……. Get out of my house.”
However, even after hearing all that I said, instead of swearing or getting angry, Shin Heejae took a cell phone out of his pocket. He then tapped the screen a couple of times.
Soon, the voices of the two people, recorded quite clearly, began to be heard.
―Then it’s all noona’s fault? Pretending to be a woman, seducing naive me and taking both money and food, and even getting a confession and dating, then ghosting me…….
―……Yeah, it’s all my fault, and I’m sorry.
The conversation a moment ago had been fully recorded.
That alone was embarrassing enough and I froze, but Shin Heejae put his cell phone back in his pocket and muttered to himself.
“Was it ×× center? Sixth floor of ×× building, right.”
“……What?”
“Noona’s workplace.”
I felt a chill all over me.
Only then did I realize what Shin Heejae was saying and opened my eyes wide.
