Chapter 53 – 2nd Store.
Aunt Jeong-hee was still unconscious and passed out.
I was startled by Auntie Jeong-hee’s shouting, and her second child got up and started crying.
I quickly picked up her clothes, held her child, and patted her on the back to soothe her.
After a while, Aunt Jeong-hee opened her eyes as if she had heard a child crying, and she looked at us.
However, Aunt Jeong-hee still had no strength in her body, so she spread her legs wide and stretched out.
Perhaps because it was in my arms, the second child immediately stopped crying and went back to sleep.
Aunt Jeong-hee saw this and smiled with a similar expression.
Aunt Jeong-hee, who had been lying down for a while, tried to stand up, but she seemed to lose her strength and fell down.
I laid Aunt Jeong-hee down again, put her child on the bed next to her, took her towel, went outside, dipped it in her water, and came in.
Then, she carefully wiped Aunt Jeong-hee from her face and put her clothes on.
After whining for a while, I put all of Aunt Jeong-hee’s clothes on, then I held her child again and sat with my back against the wall, staring at Aunt Jeong-hee.
Until then, Aunt Jeong-hee didn’t say anything, she just lay there and didn’t take her eyes off her for a moment, just staring at me.
“Aunty, are you okay?”
Aunt Jeong-hee looked a bit tired, but she smiled with a corner of her mouth slightly curled at my words.
Then she got up slowly and sat down with her back against her dresser, facing me.
It was only now that Aunt Jeong-hee’s eyes returned to life.
“I’m sorry, Auntie.”
She was somehow embarrassed to sit facing Aunt Jeong-hee, so she apologized while scratching her head.
“What kid are you? Phew.”
She was Aunt Jeong-hee, who sighed as she tried to say something.
“Are you really a high school student?”
Only now did the aunt laugh.
She looked so pretty when her cheeks turned red as if they had been shot with rouge.
I blankly stared at Aunt Jeong-hee’s face, and I laughed “Hehe” Along with Aunt Jeong-hee.
“What are you going to do now?”
The fat lady looked at me and smiled, she asked.
“Ah. Do not worry. Sooner or later, I will prepare everything for business.”
“No. Not that.”
“Yes? Then what?”
Aunt Jeong-hee looked at me with her strange eye smile.
After looking at me without saying anything for a while, I got a little awkward and was playing around with my child’s hand.
The lady who looked at me without saying a word for a long time sighed, “Phew~” And got up from her seat.
“Sungjin, what would you like to drink?”
“Yes. Give me anything. Something cool…”
Aunt Jeonghee took her juice out of her refrigerator and poured her two glasses and handed me her one.
Again, as Aunt Jeong-hee sat with her back across from her, she started talking about business.
After talking for a while…
“So, Auntie, have a good talk with your uncle tonight. Did you know?”
“Huh. OK got it. And thank you.”
The words of thanks with shining eyes seemed to have several meanings.
“Ah what are you saying? I, as well as her mother, like and believe in her aunt.”
“I’ll just go,” She said, standing up with her child in her arms.
As Aunt Jeong-hee stood up, he handed her baby to Aunt Jeong-hee, took her bag, and opened her door.
Suddenly, Aunt Jeong-hee was carefully pulling my T-shirt from behind her.
I looked back.
She had her head down, her face flushed, with her child in her left arm, holding my tee between the tips of her fingers.
“Why? What do you have to say?”
“Excuse me. That is. Therefore.”
As the aunt continued to sigh, she couldn’t talk and only twisted her body.
Aunt Jeong-hee’s behavior now was as if she wanted to tell the person she loved that she loved her, but she couldn’t say it because she was too shy to say it.
She could feel that Aunt Jeong-hee’s heart had completely tilted.
There was a feeling that I was inclined too easily, but the good feelings she had for me, the hopeful belief that it would allow me to do a lucrative job, and last but not least, the great pleasure that seemed like death, all of these touched Aunt Jeong-hee’s heart. It was shaken to the core.
The result is the image of Aunt Jeong-hee holding her clothes and twisting her body in shame.
“Foot~”
I laughed at Aunt Jeong-hee’s actions that were so cute.
He approached Aunt Jeong-Hee again and hugged her child tightly all at once, while pouring a deep kiss on Aunt Jeong-Hee’s lips.
Aunt Jeong-hee was standing at the entrance of her room, staring only at me until I left the gate.
As I walked out of the gate, Auntie Jeong-hee’s lovely gaze, staring at me, lingered in her mind.
She flicked her bag once more, put it on her shoulder, and hummed out into the main street.
As usual, I was going to go to her mother’s store, but when I suddenly thought that Yeong-hee and her sister, Gyeong-mi, would be there, I got a little annoyed.
So, I decided to go home at once.
Younghee noona and Kyungmi love only me and are so cute and pretty women.
However, when I thought that she had dared to come to her mother’s store and were fighting nerves, I felt that I was doing something very wrong.
What’s more, after the relationship with Aunt Jeong-hee a while ago, the battle of nerves between the two women felt even more irritating because I had received tremendous satisfaction from a woman who, unlike Yeong-hee and Gyeong-mi, was not greedy to claim me.
There are people who say, “I’m crazy, I’m talking about being full,” But it’s true.
I am very full now.
In my 45 years of life, I’ve never felt so satisfied with sex with a woman.
Mother and Aunt Jeong-hee…
Of course, Younghee noona was also satisfied, and it was good.
However, it is true that unlike my mother or Aunt Jeong-hee, it is a bit burdensome.
Why do I feel this pressure even though I am Younghee noona who says she will give everything for me?
In that respect, Kyung-mi felt even more uncomfortable and burdened.
It is true that my heart flutters when I meet them.
Do you like them because they are beautiful and want to own them like dolls?
As I walked home, I thought hard.
It wasn’t until I reached the front of the house that I vaguely understood the reason.
The cause was the sense of gap between the spirit of a 45-year-old and the body of a 17-year-old.
45-year-old Seong-jin has already experienced all the joys and sorrows of her life.
What is left of a middle-aged man?
It’s just a sense of stability.
I had to have a job with stable money to feed my wife and children, I needed to have a comfortable home where I could rest my tired body, and I had a wife who would protect me even if I was ripped off, and I was at an age where I was used to these things.
Having already lived through a difficult life, I came to pursue a sense of security in the hope that my difficult life would be at least a little more comfortable, in addition to the sense of responsibility to help my mother and younger siblings live well.
Who is the most comfortable and stable person for me?
Of course it’s mother
And, while having a relationship with Aunt Jeong-hee today, I felt the friendliness I had seen from before and the comfort of being a woman I didn’t have to take responsibility for, a woman who would be grateful for even a little help by her side.
It may seem strange to me that I should be responsible for her Aunt Jeong-hee, but wouldn’t I marry her and not have to take responsibility for her life? She already has a husband to take care of her, and I just need to financially help her live a better life.
So, Aunt Jeong-hee is, in some ways, a comfortable woman.
However, Jo Young-hee and Kim Kyung-mi are not like that.
I like it so much that my heart beats (maybe this is the hormonal feeling of a 17-year-old? Or is it a man’s instinct to like pretty women, young or old), but to me, they were a lump of burden to take responsibility for their lives.
From their point of view, it can be unfair.
Now that this young guy is only 17 years old, he’s looking for comfort, security and things like that…
Moreover, I know the future.
I didn’t want to challenge my life.
You can be successful enough just by living well with calculations, so why would you want to take off comfort and security?
Thinking about these things, the relationship between Jo Young-hee and Kim Kyung-mi became very irritating.
I had a strong feeling that if I didn’t organize it, I wouldn’t be able to do it.
‘They asked if they came because they were pretty…’
I went on time around 8 o’clock to help my mother organize the food stall.
“Mom, I’m here.”
As she said hello, she went inside the stall.
I expected the two women to have already returned, but of course they couldn’t have.
Everyone smiled and greeted me when I entered, but I could clearly sense the awkward atmosphere between Younghee and Kyungmi.
In addition, the appearance of the mother, who was burdened between the two, also caught my eye.
When I saw my mother smiling awkwardly, my annoyance flared up again.
“Eh~”
He sighed and went inside, deliberately not giving the two women a glance.
The business had already been sorted out to some extent.
I deliberately kept my mouth shut and quickly went out of the stalls.
All three women were looking at me, perhaps because my mood was heavy.
I put everything in the cart, tied it with a string, and dragged it by the handle.
My mother stood beside me and followed me, and my older sister Yeong-hee and Kyung-mi, intimidated by my heavy atmosphere, could not come close and quietly followed from behind the food stall.
My mother kept looking at me and pointing at her behind with her chin, but I just silently pulled the stall.
After setting up a food cart in the corner of the building’s parking lot, I looked at the two women and said.
“Follow me, both of you.”
The three women were looking into each other’s eyes, asking each other if they knew why.
When I entered the building, my mother was the first to follow me, and only then did the two women follow me.
I opened the door in front of my room on the rooftop and looked at the two women.
“Look. This is where I live.”
My younger siblings said that their mother was coming and rushed to the entrance to say hello.
“They are my younger brothers. Say hello.”
The two women and my younger siblings greeted me awkwardly at my stiff facial expression and tone.
My mother stood in front of the door and watched my actions.
I took the two women and showed them the kitchen.
“As you can see, there is no running water in our kitchen. I use that pail to draw water every day and carry it. We have no TV or radio in our house. There is not even one common problem book. I live in such poverty.”
I spoke in a slightly sharpened voice.
“Sungjin, what the hell are you doing right now?”
At my sudden action, my mother screamed at me with a startled face.
“Ah! I’m sorry mother. I just wanted to show my sister and Kyungmi the reality of how I live. Don’t worry, just go in.”
The two women were restless at my frighteningly cold face and words.
“Have you seen everything now? Let’s go now. I will take you.”
When I went down the stairs first, the two women greeted Mother roughly and hurriedly followed me down.
