Chapter 112 – Puppy in a Cage (4)
Puppy in a cage (4)
Cha Seol-hee and my bedroom were originally too spacious to be used for a single purpose, the bedroom.
Dalgrak-!
I put down the spoon and looked at the breakfast table where warm steam was rising.
A variety of foods that have gone through the realm of cooking rather than dishes served on plates with luxurious embroidery.
I looked at the sisters’ chopsticks as they politely picked up the food, then turned my head to the window.
A gloomy, hazy sky that still spews raindrops.
“Are you really going down today?”
After turning her head back to the table, Cha Seol-hee hurriedly nodded at the question he spat out.
“Yes, I don’t think we can solve it all at once.”
Cha Seol-hee covers her mouth with her white hand and shakes her head.
I frowned at her answer and narrowed my eyes.
“I heard from the eunuch that Seol-hee’s size won’t change much even if you go down today.”
“… The people over there are a little unfamiliar with me and are wary of me, but still-“
“Beyond being uncooperative, they just kept their mouth shut and treated you as an invisible person…”
Tearing her words off and whispering, Seolhee removed her hand from covering her mouth and hardened her face.
She opens and closes her lips as if babbling, but her lips do not come out with a meaningful answer.
“… Are you okay. It’s not your fault that the other side isn’t willing to talk at all, Seol-hee.”
Rather, her face hardened even more at her whispered words to comfort her.
Cha Seol-hee completely stops eating breakfast in an instant and becomes restless.
Awesome!
I pulled the table chair back a little and smiled softly at her quivering pupils.
Tuk-tuk-Cha Seol-hee slowly pulled her chair back and stood up from her seat.
Cha Seol-hee, accustomed to sitting on my thighs, and her hands naturally wrapping around her waist.
I caressed her flat belly beyond her narrow waist and gently stroked her thigh with my other hand.
“It’s okay, so why are you hurting me?”
It’s really good. What’s so serious about just one failure?
A slightly awkward smile appeared on her face as she continued reading.
I smiled warmly at that smile and a soft touch as if I had waited for the head slightly sticking out came over me.
Side- jjook- side-
A strange breath leaked out of her mouth whenever she gripped her thighs.
The moment when the hand gently caressing her stomach, who was so engrossed in kissing her, secretly dug into her flesh—
Dalgrak-!
Her lips stopped kissing at the sound of the spoon that resonated quietly.
The round eyes of Seol-hee, the car moving away from me slightly with her lips removed.
“… White is watching.”
Cha Seol-hee whispered in a very low voice, looking at my hand that had stopped halfway through her top.
I responded with a playful smile to Cha Seol-hee, who belatedly noticed Cha Ha-yan.
“… How are you?”
With a low chant, a hand that penetrated her inner flesh.
Cha Seol-hee became restless again at the gentle caress of her belly, and began to notice both sides at the same time.
“Then why don’t you try White?”
A question out of the blue while caressing Cha Seol-hee’s soft belly.
At my sudden question, Cha Ha-yeon, who had been lowering her head in the rice air, lifted her head in surprise.
“Still, at least you are friends with the people over there.”
“Nonsense! A child who has just recovered from a cold, and his physical condition must be bad, but such a dangerous—”
Cha Seol-hee screams in a panic, even more startled than Cha Ha-yan.
However, as I listened to her protest, my eyes sank lower, so did her voice.
“… I just think so…”
Soon, her lips curled up and whispers flowed to Seol-hee, who lowered her head slightly.
I patted her tummy again as she hurriedly looked at me and smiled lightly.
“Seolhee, I understand what you are talking about.”
Still-
“Because the opinions of the parties are the most important.”
Cha Ha-yan is still staring at me blankly with wide-eyed eyes.
“Why don’t you try to convince the women camp members of the agricultural science college?”
I said one after another as I gazed at her finely trembling eyes.
“No matter how hard it is, isn’t that white person going to treat you as an invisible person?”
“…”
She gave no answer to my question.
Just like a plaster statue, it was just hardened, showing only surprise and bewilderment.
“… No?”
Looking at her like that, her doctor reconfirms.
For some reason, the tone of his voice became cold and his face slightly frowned.
Faced with that change, Cha Ha-in hurriedly shook her creaking head.
“… Okay?”
At the last question, Cha Ha-yeon nodded her head hurriedly.
I finally let go of her hardening expression and smiled brightly at her.
A mission completely unsuitable for an extremely introverted personality.
The location has changed so drastically in an instant and the women camp members of the College of Agriculture are keenly aware of it.
The leaders of the camp who died in a chain with the deserters who first escaped the fence of being the same camp member.
Not only Cha Seol-hee, but also Cha Ha-yan—
No, it was even more certain for Cha Ha-yan.
It was a mission that would never succeed.
“Yeah, she’ll definitely be able to pull it off if White is you.”
It was a mission that should not have been successful.
***
“… Oh, long time no see—sisters.”
It was the first word that Cha Ha-yan gave to the women camp members of the College of Agriculture.
The librarian’s office on the second floor of the library, which is the lowest floor of the library’s residential area.
Rather than reluctantly, rather than forcibly, the representatives of the women’s Camp One of the College of Agriculture were forced to sit at the table, and Cha Ha-yan’s own space, which she bought and entered the office, unable to hide her trembling body until the end.
I leaned my back against the wall next to the office door, swinging around the second floor, which had bitten everyone around me.
“… This, this seat is the official seat of the camp prepared to help the older sisters. My brother-in-law—ah, no—the camp leader here, Se-gye Han, promised me that he would listen to all the requests of the older sisters.”
I looked up at the ceiling with my arms crossed, listening to the voices in the office that I could hear so clearly.
“So- it hurts so very, so sad, but if we endure together- if you just carry out the routines given at the camp, even if I’m not Han Se-gye, I can somehow make the unnies live more comfortably-“
“White.”
The first words uttered by the College of Agriculture, which was said to have been completely mute according to the report of the eunuch.
“How do we believe that?”
A barbed question that lightly interrupted Cha Ha-yan’s words flowed from the Agricultural College.
“Are you saying that knowing what happened to us today, White?”
“… Yes?”
“The renegade bastards and the search crew came downstairs this morning and forced us into a line.”
“…”
“I felt bad looking through us one by one, and one of the renegade bastards suddenly whispered a whisper to the search crew.”
Do you know what that bastard was whispering about?
His vocal chords trembled, and the anger melted at the words he asked.
“… I don’t know what I said either. But after hearing that whisper, the search team came up to us. No, do you know what he said when he went to Hee-joo?”
A clear disgust soaked in my own nonsense.
“I will be living on the 6th floor from tomorrow, so if you have anything to pack, bring it. What do you think this means, white?”
Thud-!
A small blow to the table reverberates through the office.
“Do you think this is possible in the 21st century? How on earth are you supposed to trust someone who treats such people like objects and commits inhumane and barbaric things?!”
Cha Ha-yan, who has a gradually increasing voice and no answer.
I couldn’t see the inside of the office because of the wall between them, but I could clearly see Cha Ha-yan, who was trembling all over by itself.
“What are you saying now that you didn’t even shine your nose while being subjected to nonsensical things by these crazy killers, which Do-yoon couldn’t even imagine?”
“…”
“Where and what were you doing while Hee-joo was pointed out as a prostitute, White?”
“You never know.”
A rather harsh voice continued the words of the female camp member who was throwing up resentment first.
“Maybe they’ve already been singled out and are upstairs.”
“… Yes?”
“No, just—in terms of feeling, in terms of feelings.”
Hanbyeol Kim.
According to the report of the eunuch, the main character with this grim voice was a kind of ‘older sister’ who served as the leader of this group of women.
“Hey, Chahayan.”
“… Yes.”
“I thought we were pretty close, but was I the only one who was mistaken?”
“… Oh no, sister.”
“Have you forgotten now that we, or everyone here, gathered together at night to talk about hardships and cry? We talked a lot back then.”
“No—I remember everything, sister.”
“I’m pretending to be kind while acting as my older sister, but what is the current situation? Why? Am I not worthy of being with High Queens Cha Ha-yan, who is a great celebrity?”
“… Why would you say that—not really, sister.”
Compared to the shivering Cha Ha-yan, Kim Han-byul’s voice is so calm.
“I understand why you live a bizarre life because your sister is the president and the president’s wife. Because that person was originally that person. But you can’t do that I really don’t understand why you’re sitting across from us?”
The sharpened blade continued to shoot at Chahayan.
“Do you know how we got along while you were up there like a princess?”
“…”
“They treat us like invisible people very openly. Festivals and whatnot, while drinking among ourselves, we forcefully lock ourselves in these offices and prevent them from coming out. At least, if they try to mingle with other people, they run away and disappear on their own before we even talk to them. As if I received some order.”
… Oh.
I nodded my head while staring at the ceiling, admiring Kim Han-byul’s keen insight.
“And today, Hee-joo was even pointed out by a traitor. I’m going to be sold to the brutes who stabbed my brothers in the back.”
Hey—someone give Hee-joo some tissues quickly. Hurry up guys
The more Kim Han-byul’s words bite her tail, the thicker the sound of whimpers and Kim Han-byul hurriedly give instructions to them on the way.
Sniff-!
The sound of Hee-joo blowing her nose on the toilet paper and the continued whimpering resonate.
“… I was a real fan of High Queens, but I didn’t know you were this kind of person. Seriously, why are people so clever?”
“A good man, a good man, a respectable man has died. How would those dead ancestors look at this scene now?”
“Really, why are people so cruel? Don’t you have the slightest sense of guilt as a human being?”
The cold words that kept stabbing her in the chest.
He overheard Cha Ha-yan, who couldn’t even reply to those words, and laughed again.
Aside from Cha Ha-yan’s very introverted personality, how can female agricultural college camp members spit out such direct selling?
How could she say such fearless things to Cha Seol-hee’s younger sister, who is even called the president’s wife, as she knows?
For a moment, she erased her head at once, thinking about her seriously, and let out a deeper laugh.
If I could think rationally like that, the situation wouldn’t have gotten worse.
Also, very often people act with more value in venting their anger than in the future that will surely come someday.
I’ve been like that too many times, so swearing at them right now would be like spitting in my face.
“Really how could that be? They are seniors who haven’t seen you smile properly since you were kidnapped. You don’t even think about the people who pampered and cared for you—”
“I’m sorry—sister.”
Ik-
The sound of a chair being dragged in a hurry interrupting Kim Han-byul.
“I’m sorry- I’m sorry sister- this, first no- me, later-“
Cha Hae-in opened the door to her office and muttered a muttering mixed with crying.
“… Look at that. Look at her running away while shedding pretty tears like a very idol.”
Before the door closed, I found myself next to the door at the leaking sarcasm, and my wide-eyed eyes opened wider and trembled.
Close the office door carefully and look up at me with moist eyes full of water.
The red light at the tip of my pointed nose points to me for breaking my promise to disappear for a while so that we can have a quiet conversation.
“… I’m sorry, brother-in-law.”
A thin, sweet voice flowed from her face, which was crumpled to hold back her tears.
“I tried really hard…”
The unnies still hate me a little…
Thanks to the lines drawn around the eyes, the small teardrops finally flowed down again.
I opened my arms towards her without saying a word.
As soon as my arms are opened, Cha Ha-yan runs towards me.
I hugged my body tightly and patted the back of Cha Ha-yan, who was trembling.
“… Are you okay.”
It’s okay, it’s okay
With her small whisper, she slowly rubbed her tear-stained face on my chest.
“… This is really why you can’t believe what you see on TV. In the first place, the images of celebrities themselves were just made up. People say that their true nature comes out only when they meet each other face to face.”
Gossip flowing from behind the wall, as if to let me know that I’ve heard all of their conversations.
I stared at the office wall, brushing the back of her hair as she rubbed her chest harder.
No, I smiled as I gazed at a woman beyond.
Hanbyeol Kim.
Like that pretty name-
I wish I could have kept my mouth open.
