Chapter 939 – Wouldn’t You Like to See if Jim’s Love Is Real?
“What is this. Are you really going here?”
“Yes that’s right. This is definitely the way.”
“Is there anything around? No, didn’t you take the wrong road on the navigator?”
I sat in the passenger seat and looked around the outside of the car. It was darkness, with nothing but private houses and commercial houses far away. Of course, the lights were turned on in the street lights and Taeyeon’s car following her, but that was all.
“What is the accommodation address? Did you post it on the group chat?”
“Yes that’s right. Please check once.”
“Ugh. Okay.”
Mina seemed a bit taken aback when Gado-gado had no other way than this. I picked up her phone and checked to calm her anxiety and arrive at her destination.
“Uh, so.”
I stared alternately at the brightly shining square screen in my hand and the shining square screen on the dashboard. No matter how many times I checked, the addresses on both screens were the same.
“Right? Right here.”
“Is that so. Then we will go like this.”
“Uh, uh. But, it looks like this is out of the way. That’s right?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Will there be no cars coming from the other side?”
It was so remote that there was only one lane. If a car came from the other side, I would have had to go back the way I had come, but after a few minutes I realized I didn’t have to.
“Uh, that, isn’t that? I guess that one?”
“I think so too.”
“Right? There are no other buildings nearby.”
A single two-story building glowed in the dark. We continued along the road and entered a gravel parking lot.
Second Viscount
I didn’t expect the sound of pebbles to be so welcome. Feeling relieved that we had just arrived, I called for my wife, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat.
“Sehee. Sehee. Now you have arrived wake up.”
“Yes, yes… ?”
“Arrived. Wake up. Sleep in the bed.”
“Haaaaa~ I’m not sleeping, I’m not sleeping…”
Se-hee, who had slept well until now, yawned and woke up. At the same time, when he said he would not sleep in a drowsy voice, it was cute like a child who said he would play until late at night.
“Then, will you sleep if I read you a fairy tale?”
“If only I could give you a kiss.”
“Okay. Then I’ll read you a storybook later and give you a kiss.”
“Then thank you.”
The laughter heard through the sound of seat belts being unfastened added to the liveliness. While regretting that Se-hee had woken up, he opened the car door with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Rattle
“Once you arrive, let’s get off.”
“Yes, I understand”
“Wait. Haaaaam~”
I got out of the car listening to Minah’s blunt reply and Sehee’s yawning answer. I came out to the brightly lit garden like I had seen on my way earlier and looked around.
“Wow… !”
It was a landscape that brought back memories. It reminded me of the orange street lights along the road, the sparsely visible houses with lights on, and the night view I saw when I was in the military. That is, it was bad.
“Not bad.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t like it very much. There was really nothing around, so it seemed okay to make noise without worrying about it.
Rattle
“There is really nothing around.”
“I feel like I am on a fishing boat isolated in the night sea.”
Se-hee and Min-a, who got out of the car with me, also looked around and left their impressions. At this time, Taeyeon’s car entered the parking lot with bright headlights.
“Oh, Sehee. Car.”
“Yes. I know.”
I stepped back with Sehee to make room for the car to come in. That’s how the rental car stopped, and the women in the ride began to get out one by one.
“Look at the pitch black. Look at the pitch black.”
“Haha, that’s fine. I will shine brightly with Jim’s beauty.”
“What.”
Then, when Mawang and Taeyeon joined us, we took on our own tasks and started to move. Se-hee, who had booked the accommodation, opened the door by talking to the landlord, and the others unloaded their luggage and carried it home.
“Hey. Hey. Someone please move it. To bed.”
“Uh! I’ll do it!”
“Shut up, bitch. Hey. You do it hey. Scallop head. You.”
“No, I’m doing it!”
“Go away. Before getting hit.”
Although it was a pity that I couldn’t carry Jena, who was sleeping soundly, in my arms, I was satisfied with the accommodation. The interior of the living room, which is black and white and gives a modern feel, and rooms with different concepts. And…
“Whoa… ! Jiheon! Look at this!”
“What? Oh wow, it’s wider than I thought.”
Haha! All six of us can sleep here!”
There was a main bedroom large enough to occupy half of the second floor. In addition, the ceiling was shaped like a tent, so it felt like entering a ger, which is said to be built and lived by nomadic tribes instead of a house, rather than a building.
“Um, come on. You.”
The Demon King, who was looking around the second floor together, pointed at the TV built on one side of the wall. I looked at the big screen and said it as if I were in the main room, if not my living room.
“Later, let’s play a game with that! By connecting the game machine!”
“Oh, that sounds like fun.”
Haha! They won’t let you down this time!”
“Don’t get upset when you lose.”
“Write! Who will say it now!”
The demon king with a stern expression pretending to be angry was so cute. The crinkling of the forehead between the white eyebrows, the forcefully pursed pale pink lips, the placing of both hands on the hips, the cuteness made me laugh.
“… Haha.”
The Demon King, who had been glaring at me for a while, relaxed his face. She smiled lightly and read my thoughts on her expression.
“Do you like Jim that much?”
“Of course. Otherwise, I would not have married. Then what about you?”
“Hmm, I don’t know.”
“Hey.”
“Instead, there is a way to know.”
“What is that.”
“Let me know when you come down! Haha!”
“Uh, hey!”
As if it were the demon king, she left a cheerful laugh and turned around and ran. She shouted as she descended her steps, her white silver hair fluttering quickly away.
“Why don’t you come! Wouldn’t you like to see if Jim’s love is genuine?”
“Ah, a little.”
It was obvious that he was sincere. Even though I knew this, I deliberately followed the demon king pretending to hate it. When I went down to the first floor, she was walking around calling my other wives and fiancé.
“You-all! You-all! Come and see! Let’s have fun with Jim! Something fun!”
“Yes? You haven’t washed yet?”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Be quiet. The baby is sleeping.”
It wasn’t long before Sehee, Minah, and Taeyeon walked out of their respective rooms. I don’t know about Taeyeon, who brought Yena to bed, but my wives, except for the demon king, had their eyes twinkled with curiosity.
“I ate something salty today, so I wanted to wash it off, but I can’t help it.”
“I usually eat salty.”
“What does it have to do with eating salty, ah, fuck.”
Taeyeon, who seemed to understand what he meant, frowned at her. Her demon king saw her like that and laughed, saying she was having fun, then called her with a fanning gesture.
“Come on, Taeyeon! Come and see!”
“Why. What.”
“Come and see for once! Have fun! Oh, Jiheon! You too!”
“Okay. You are going.”
Se-hee and Min-ah had already gathered in the living room, and now everyone has gathered, including me and Tae-yeon. Then, the demon king went to the chest of drawers under the TV and opened the drawer.
“… Hmm! Ruler!”
After hesitating for a few seconds, the Demon King took out an item from a drawer and showed it. He shouted proudly, holding a hemispherical object made of white plastic and silvery plastic like metal.
“You-all! Wouldn’t you like to see if Jim’s love is genuine?”
“What is that?”
“Haha, Taeyeon! That’s why you’re wrong.”
“Go back, really.”
“Let’s all sit down. Ruler! Everyone sit down!”
Even though we didn’t know what it was, we sat around the hemispherical object. The Demon King, who sat down first, finally revealed the identity of this object when everyone put their buttocks on the floor.
“This is a lie detector!”
“Ah, ah, was that it?”
When I revealed that I was a lie detector, Se-hee nodded, raising the corner of her mouth. Of course, I also noticed that it was a toy that was often seen on TV and YouTube.
“Min-ah. Did you know?”
“Yes, I knew.”
“Ha ha, I knew that. So what about Taeyeon?”
“I didn’t know,”
“Taeyeon is so wrong that it’s okay to not know. Hmm.”
“You come with me. Come out, bitch.”
“Why, everyone. Don’t fight ruler.”
Following her younger sister, her older sister also stopped arguing with Taeyeon. I sat Taeyeon, who was about to get up, and looked back at Mawang, who was still excited like a child.
“By the way, did you come together to do this?”
“Um, that’s right. In a way, you can say that I rented this accommodation to do this.”
“Why?”
“Why? It must be because this is there.”
In an instant, that quote came to mind. The staff asked the famous mountaineer. Why do you climb mountains? The answer to that was simple. Climb the mountain because it is there. I mean, I don’t know what bullshit it is.
“Is that why you asked me to do it here?”
Meanwhile, Se-hee, who was sitting next to the demon king, said as if she finally understood. She, like me, looked at her sister with a face that said she didn’t understand, and when she was choosing a place to stay, she told me what had happened.
“No, the other day when we were looking for lodging together, my sister suddenly said she wanted to stay here. She asks why, so she says she just wants to do it. So, well, I did. Here.”
“Didn’t I ask why?”
“Yes. Because my sister is so pretty.”
“Fuck. I just asked.”
Seeing Sehee nodding with a grin, Taeyeon frowned as if she had chewed something. The Demon King, who was praised for being pretty, burst into laughter.
Haha! Jim is pretty! Hmm!”
“But there is.”
“Hmm? Why but?”
Hearing that, a natural question came to my mind. I couldn’t get through without asking this.
“You just bought that toy and did it. I wouldn’t choose here.”
“What is it like here? The facilities are also pretty and tidy. You don’t like it here.”
“No, not that,”
“Otherwise, that’s it!”
“Hey?!”
As if he had waited for me to say no, he immediately cut me off. I glared at the brazen Demon King, whom I had met for three years, then moved my gaze to Mina.
“…”
Minah hadn’t said anything until now. She sat neatly on her knees, staring with her sparkling eyes at the lie detector the demon king had asked her to do.
“… Okay.”
She looked at her with innocent eyes that didn’t match her size, and she couldn’t say no. Instead, I put a condition on it.
“Should we drink lightly? Then it will be more fun.”
“Haha!”
The demon king met eyes that glistened like the sun-drenched sea.
“Did you think the same as Jim?”
After the two of us agreed, the conversation moved on swiftly.
“Then are you doing this now? Who is Mina’s sister? Great?”
“Yes, good. How is Taeyeon?”
“Did you know you wouldn’t? Are you going to do it If you fall into this, I’m not going to say it’s wrong again, you bastards. Fuck me too, show that I am the MZ generation, today.”
That’s how we prepared to drink a lie detector lightly as a snack.
