Mr. Chang felt pain in some parts of his body. "Based on stupid kid. Thankfully I came. Otherwise your mother would have fainted again hearing of your behavior". I sat next to Aunt Li who was still emotional by occasionally throwing something at Mr. Chang. The strong man earlier turned pitiful, sitting on the floor hugging his legs.
"You're coming with me to the hospital. Let Jin Ae here alone" Aunt Li came to pick up Mrs Chang's things. Mr. Chang's dead cell phone made him want to not go home and I'm grateful for that.
Aunt Li cleaned Mr. Chang's room. "You can sleep here Jin Ae. I'll watch him at the hospital. Sleep peacefully" I thanked Aunt Li and the two went to the hospital.
Being in a foreign house alone scares me a little. I went into my room and tried to sleep. The clothes I wear are not comfortable to wear to sleep. I had to replace it with the clothes that Mr. Chang had brought earlier. This time I feel safe wearing it, because Mr. Chang will be in the hospital all night. I fell asleep soon.
At 12 p.m., there was a car in Mrs Chang's yard. The man wearing the sweatpants entered the house and opened the door to his room. He took off his jacket, hugged me under the blanket and fell asleep.
Tring..tring.heard cell phone noise. I looked for my phone and saw it. At 6 a.m., there was no incoming message on my phone. Triiiing. I heard the cell phone again. "Hello..what's the matter?" why are there male voices here. It's not like I slept alone last night.
I turned around and there the man was. "I don't have to go to Japan? I'm at Anyang's house. The rest I leave to you" she put down her phone and looked at me who was still shocked. "I came by at 12, you're asleep. This dress is pretty you wear".
I would've run out of the room if he hadn't held my nightgown. I covered my body with a blanket and he pressed me on the edge of the bed. "You slept well. Comfortable sleeping in my room or comfortable sleeping with me?" I blinked many times hoping this was just a dream.
The incoming sunlight made Pak Chang's hair glow brownish. His face was fresh in contrast to yesterday at the hospital. "Aunt Li didn't come sir" I tried to distract him. "It turns out Aunt Li is very strong. Look, my face scratched a little bit on his nails" he showed me his injured cheek. I saw it and it did look redder than the rest of her skin. But not too bad.
"Sir, I have to get up" I raised his hand that was holding me in bed. "It's still early morning Jin Ae. We're not in Seoul, you can relax a little bit" This guy really makes me run out of words. I was lazy to quarrel with him and remained in my previous position, not moving at all.
She started stroking my hair, touching my face line with her index finger. I saw it right in his eyes. He got into my neck and kissed my collarbone. I felt an alien vibration that made me hold my breath. He kissed my neck and chin. I closed my eyes for a moment because I was amused.
His movements gently kissed my cheeks and eyes. He stopped to see my reaction. My face was hot on this cold morning. My lips felt something warm and stayed attached for a few seconds. He kissed my lips gently a few times before going back to sleep next to me.
My fast breathing slowed down. My strong clenched hand started to weaken and open. I can't believe I let him do that. I got up from the bed. "Where?" I saw him lying on his bed. "Replace sir"
Mr. Chang stood up and picked up something on the table. The package was given to me. "I bought it yesterday, I think it'll suit you". I took it and went out of the room to the bathroom. I cursed myself for not fighting back. He must have done that a lot, a kiss or whatever it was would mean nothing to him. But for me, it was my first kiss. A soft first kiss. Am I going to lose my job because of this? Stupid me.
I opened the package from Mr. Chang. It contained a dark green sweet dress with wrinkles on the waist. But this dress looks really good. The fabric is softly pressed against my skin. The color makes my skin look white. Inside the package there is also a white interior. I wear it because I don't bring a change of clothes at all. The size of everything fits on my body. How does he know my size.
I combed my hair with my hands and tied it together. Out of the bathroom I saw Mr. Chang was in the kitchen cooking something. He looked at me and smiled. "That dress suits you" I replied with a smile. I just realized that Mr. Chang has changed his clothes. She wears a white shirt and pants that are green older than my dress.
Her hair was neatly combed back making her handsome face more visible. Slowly I went to the kitchen to see what he was doing. He made coffee and handed one to me. "Thank you Sir". I drink it slowly. Mr. Chang moved behind me and took off my hair tie. "I don't want your neck to be seen"
"I'm going to cook breakfast sir" I turned my attention to the refrigerator. But Mr. Chang closed it again. "no need. We go to the hospital this morning, we can eat on the way" But he's an artist, if seen eating in a cafe or restaurant must be attention-grabbing.
Mr. Chang dragged my hand and led me to the car. He gave me his jacket. His face is very close to mine. Ah..luka that. I touched her cheek that was injured by Aunt Li. The wound is not deep but extends from under the eyes to the tip of the lip. Mr. Chang was silent to let me touch him.
Can this wound heal without a scar? "Don't be mad at Aunt Li, my behavior yesterday was outrageous." I pulled my hand from her cheek. "I'm sorry for being rude last night" seeing the earnestness in his eyes, I felt calm and at ease. Mr. Chang's jacket had a strong male smell. So warm.
Because it was still morning, the streets looked empty. I saw Anyang in the morning. We stopped at a bakery. I'm getting ready to get out of the car. Mr. Chang looked around. "Let me buy it sir. What do you want sandwich?"
He didn't listen and followed me into the store. Inside the shop is still empty. I bought a tuna sandwich, while Mr. Chang ordered a beef sandwich. We ordered some drinks to take to the hospital.
Waiting for the order, we sat by the sun-lit window. So warm. I love the smell of bread made in the morning. Mr. Chang was recognized by some bakery employees. But he acted relaxed and did not care about it.
I ate my bread quickly, afraid that more and more people would realize that Chang Min Jung was going to the bakery in Anyang. Mr. Chang ate his bread casually while occasionally looking at me. He also gave me a tissue to clean my mouth. "You hungry?" He mocked. "There are some people who took your picture from behind Sir" . He looked back and the people who took his picture pretended to do something else. "Don't call me sir, call me Oppa" he said with a smile. His brain is not right apparently. Does he think I want to do it.
Because I felt uncomfortable I asked Mr. Chang to finish his breakfast quickly. He did not listen and further slowed down his eating. I know he was intentional. "We need to get out of here, sir" Mr. Chang smiled in annoyance and finished his breakfast.
We took the order and returned to the car. Mr. Chang opened the car door for me and put on my seat belt.
Arriving at Madam Chang's room, I saluted her. "Good morning, madam". He greeted me with a smile. "I've had better Jin Ae, thank you". Hopefully Mr. Chang's problem is quickly resolved. I am sad to see Madame Chang pale as yesterday.
"Hwan Li is already taking care of the problems in Japan. Mom doesn't have to worry, I'm just being used as their household adhesive" I don't feel the need to hear this talk. Mr. Chang gave me a chair to sit on, while he sat on his mother's bed.
I went out of the room to give the mother and child time to talk. From a distance I saw Auntie Li coming. "Jin Ae, why don't you come in?" before replying, Aunt Li took my hand to bring me back into the room. Mr. Chang moved away from Aunt Li and approached me.
"Me and Jin Ae go back to Seoul. Mother and Aunt Li don't have to worry about me because Jin Ae can take good care of me" I was annoyed by her words. She kissed her mother's forehead "Just trust in my words" Madam Chang looked more relaxed hearing her son speak.
Mr. Chang looked at me and smiled. Surprisingly, I smiled at him too. "We go home to Seoul, my phone will be active tomorrow" he said, holding my hand. I brushed off his hand and approached Madam Chang. "I go first Madam, Aunt Li. May Madam recover quickly" Mr. Chang held my hand again and pulled me out of the room leaving Aunt Li and Madam Chang laughing amusedly.
He didn't take my hand off until he got in the car. Finally we left Anyang and returned to Seoul. At that time I did not know that there were many photos circulating in the media and the internet with the title
