Chapter 225 – I Want That Golden Shower
“I really have no face, Jiheon.”
“No. Are you okay. It was a bit cramped just being inside.”
“Still,”
“It’s okay.”
Mina deliberately interrupted her, and she briefly looked back. She stood out in her orange mountaineering clothes in the middle of a brown mountain trail piled with fallen leaves.
Haha, Jiheon?”
As expected, Mina, panting for breath, wiped the sweat dripping down her brown cheeks, wondering if climbing was difficult for me. I rubbed her pretty face casually and she asked me, lowering her wiped hand.
“Why is that?”
“No, just.”
“If you are tired, would you like some water?”
“Is that so?”
“It wouldn’t be bad to rest a little while waiting for people to come.”
“Yeah, that would be nice too.”
Just at that moment, a rock that was good for sitting on the side of the hiking trail caught my eye. Pointing to a boulder large enough for the two of them to sit on, she said.
“It’s Mina. Let’s sit over there and rest.”
“Yes.”
I walked to the rock with Minah nodding her head briefly. She sat her ass down on a cold rock and pulled a bottle of water from the bag on her back, huh?
“Why is there no water? Did you take it earlier?”
“I’m here, Jiheon.”
Before she came up, Mina handed over the 500ml mineral water bottle she had received.
I thought her Min-ah was giving it to her, so of course she tried to refuse.
“That is yours. Eat you.”
“No. This is Jiheon.”
“What?”
Then Minah took out another bottle of mineral water from her bag.
She apparently got a bottle of water for each person, but she had two. That said, one of those water bottles was mine.
“What.”
Slightly surprised, Mina took a water bottle from her hand. She muttered in her puzzlement as she twisted and opened the lid.
“I’m sure I put it in my bag? Why did you take it?”
“I took it out.”
“Didn’t I give it to you?”
“Yes. So that’s what I said. I took it out.”
I couldn’t even understand what she was saying.
“… When?”
“I took it out when I started climbing the mountain.”
“Why?”
“I wanted to reduce the burden on Jiheon as much as possible.”
“How?”
“I opened the zipper and just took it out.”
“I didn’t know?”
“Jiheon.”
Minah looked at me gently.
“Have you forgotten who I was in my previous life?”
“Ah.”
She never expected to use her former life as an assassin in this way. It was fortunate that she didn’t use this ability to kill people, but at most she felt like pickpocketing was a waste of talent, so she laughed out loud.
She laughed dumbfounded and drank the water, her rough breathing moistening her slightly dry throat.
While she was drinking water and resting for a while, Mina apologized again.
“I’m sorry, Jiheon. Forcing me to.”
“Because it’s okay. By the way, why do you want me to bring you?”
The reason I came to the mountain was because of the mountain climbing club at Mina’s company. After Hae-seon and Pak left, the mountaineering club developed into a wholesome gathering, and now Min-ah said that she comes from time to time.
However, there was an opinion to pick me up on this mountain climbing. For your information, the chairman of the mountaineering club was Chae-eun, who was witnessed to play with the devil the other day.
Thinking about that, I started to feel a bit uneasy.
“Did I explain it correctly? A relationship between you and me.”
“Yes, that’s right. I said after work the same day. How serious is our relationship with Jiheon.”
“Didn’t you tell him about your previous life?”
“Of course. He said he met Jiheon at a game.”
“I see. Oh, you’re coming soon.”
As I was talking with Minah, I saw a group of mountaineering suits coming up from below. Company employees climbed up slowly, as if crawling to where we were.
“Hey heck! Boss, boss!”
“It’s so, so fast. … !”
“Slowly, little, shouldn’t we go?”
As they spoke out of breath, they seemed to show an expression that they would die in agony. I felt apologetic without knowing it as I sat down on the dirt floor, not a rock, sweating like rain.
To those employees, Mina smiled and encouraged them through acting.
“Sorry, everyone! But since there’s only a little bit left, let’s all do our best!”
“I don’t have the strength to do that, I’m the boss…”
“Ah, I think I can just sleep like this…”
“Boss, can you carry me on your back?”
More than 10 people lay on the floor grumbling. Both men and women lying down using each other’s bodies as pillows, it was as if everyone had become one.
“…”
But even in the midst of that, only one person stared at me out of breath. It was Chae-eun, the president of this club, who called me.
I deliberately made eye contact with her and tried to notice her, but she didn’t take her eyes off me. In the midst of that, Mina suddenly called me, and she couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Jiheon.”
“Uh, huh? Why? Why?”
“Did you drink all the water?”
“Uh, yes.”
“Then will you give it to me? I will listen to you again.”
“!”
It was none other than Chae-eun who responded to these words. When she heard that Mina had brought water for me, she frowned and glared at me.
Noticing the negative gaze, I hurriedly closed the lid on the water bottle I was holding and said.
“Oh, no. I’ll take it, sister.”
“Are you okay. I will carry it.”
“Because I am carrying it. Look.”
I hurriedly put a water bottle in my bag. Even after zipping it up and closing it, Mina did not give up.
“Just give it. It will be very difficult.”
As she tried to open my bag, I grabbed the water bottle she was holding.
“Oh, no, I will carry it this time. You listened to me this far instead. I will take it, I will.”
People looked at each other happily as they tried to lift water bottles.
“Aren’t the boss and Mr. Jiheon looking very nice?”
“Look at the dripping honey.”
“If I had a girl like that, I would be like that too.”
“…”
Of course, Chae-eun kept glaring at me.
Time passed in the uncomfortable gaze, and after about 10 minutes, Mina woke up.
“Have you had enough rest? Then shall we depart?”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
“Yeah”
“You’ll have to confess when you get down.”
There was a mix of people planting death flags, but everyone got up in silence and started preparing to leave.
“Mr. Jiheon?”
Mina looked down at me with a smile while looking at the employees. The expression on her face as she bowed to me was acting, but she knew the look in her eyes lovingly looking at me was sincere.
“Yes, sister.”
Even though it was a somewhat awkward title, I said it with all my heart and stood up.
“…”
Of course, Chae-eun kept glaring at me.
Still, we started walking down the mountain path again. Today’s goal was to walk around the trail, not a tick, so now we were on our way back to where we started.
As I walked without thinking, before I knew it, only Mina was next to me, and I could see the employees barely following me from afar. And Chae-eun, who was staring at me there, was in front of her.
As I kept looking back, Mina gasped slightly and asked.
Haha, Jiheon?”
“Uh, why?”
“Are you worried about Chae-eun?”
“!”
I was so startled that I stopped walking. Still, in order to stay calm, I continued to talk with Minah as I walked back.
“No, did you know?”
“Did you know I didn’t know? Since we met today, we’ve kept eye contact, haven’t we? Isn’t it?”
“Yes. It was. It does bother me.”
It was obvious why she was staring at me. It was that I harbored resentment for dating not only Mina but also other women.
However, Mina had a different opinion from me.
“I am okay.”
“What?”
“Chae-eun is not a bad person either. I think it’s okay.”
“What’s okay?!”
“If So-hee and Se-hee are bothered, I will keep it a secret.”
“No, I didn’t care in that sense!”
“Is that so?”
“Okay!”
My heartfelt cry echoed in the quiet mountains. Then, as my cry echoed back, I regained my composure.
“What worries me is that Chae-eun doesn’t seem to understand our relationship.”
“Was it because of that? I thought I was increasing the number of harem members.”
“What is a harem? And with just the three of you, you’re strong enough. It’s hard because I’m so happy.”
“Didn’t you just say it was difficult?”
“Oh, isn’t it? You just said that I was too good for you?”
“… All right. I will do it like that.”
Are you glad you passed on, or should you be afraid of the later? Still, the hardest thing was not ‘the present me’, but the ‘tomorrow me’, so I let out a sigh of relief.
When I was relieved, Mina said something even more shocking.
“By the way, I want to have a golden shower.”
“Oh little. Haven’t you given up yet?”
“It’s absurd that we had sex but still kissed.”
“What bullshit.”
“If you don’t, I will tell Sohee and Sehee what Jiheon said. It’s hard to date three people.”
“What?”
“Then we will inform you. What is really hard?”
“!”
At those words, I stopped walking again. I awkwardly turned my head and met Mina’s eyes.
If I didn’t look closely, two darker brown eyes on the right stared at me. Compared to her panting breath, her eyes didn’t flinch.
After seeing this, I realized that Mina was serious. But as a man’s instinct, I couldn’t stand the bravado of her bed.
“Yeah, look! You know that I can do it with 4 people!”
“Instead, aren’t we also brisk?”
“Sehee is fully stretched. Don’t you remember?”
“Se-hee is weaker than So-hee and me, right? Also, if you don’t know if it’s done all at once, isn’t Jiheon too difficult if you do it one by one?”
“Oh, no, I didn’t! It’s something you don’t know yet!”
“Then it would be good to take this opportunity to find out what it is. It’s because tomorrow is Saturday.”
Mina put her hand in the pocket of her hiking jacket, as if she was really trying to contact them. I grabbed her wrist before pulling out her phone.
“Ah Okay!”
“What do you know?”
“I will! Can’t you do it!”
“… All right.”
Having said that, Mina nodded her head. When I saw the swaying red bob, I relieved myself and released the power in my hand.
After a short storm passed, we started walking towards our destination again. Then, Mina brought up a story that happened earlier.
“Jiheon. Where we parked our car. Do you remember?”
“Of course I don’t remember. Why? Don’t you remember?”
“I am. Then, do you remember the makgeolli restaurant right in front of you?”
Come to think of it, it seemed that there was something like that.
“Huh.”
“We always end up with a dinner party after hiking. I think it would be good to talk to Chae-eun at that time.”
