Chapter 52 – Affair (3)

“Wow…”

After I vomited out everything inside, my stomach felt much lighter.

But there was something heavy in my heart that did not come off easily.

‘Knock…’

“Are you okay?”

She answered with difficulty, squeezing her sore throat at Jiyeon Lee’s words that came through the door.

“···It’s okay.”

I grabbed her sink and lifted her shaking body up.

She wet her face with the coldest water.

The touch on her face felt dull, as if she had not yet lost her drunkenness.

Even though she returned to Jiyeon Lee’s house and rinsed it several times, it seemed like the sweet scent still remained in her mouth.

She took out the blue toothbrush that was sitting next to the brown toothbrush right next to the sink and brushed her teeth again.

After washing for a while, she felt a little refreshed.

As she put on her gown and left the bathroom, Jiyeon Lee spoke to her, looking a little surprised.

“···Did you drink a lot? That bitch…”

She hit the player before any harsh words came out of Jiyeon Lee’s mouth.

“No, it’s just that I don’t feel well…”

She glared at me, led me into the main room, laid me down on the bed, and whispered.

“···I’ll take care of you today, so let’s just sleep…”

Before I could say anything, she turned off the light in her bedroom, turned on one of her small lamps, returned to the bed, and lay down next to her.

“···Did something bad happen today?”

She slowly turned her head and looked at Jiyeon Lee.

Looking at me with worried eyes, she reached out her hand and held it in hers as she continued speaking.

“···Not in a good mood?”

As I looked at her and touched her hand, I felt something heavier in her chest.

She answered while slightly turning her head and avoiding his gaze.

“···No, I’m just tired.”

Jiyeon Lee said, pulling her hand and rubbing it on her face.

“···What, did I do something wrong?”

At her words that it was wrong, my heart, which had been quiet, began to beat faster.

Wrong… I made a big mistake.

However, I couldn’t tell Jiyeon Lee about my mistake straight away.

She slipped away her hand and pretended that nothing had happened and lied.

“···What is the mistake…”

There was silence in the dark room, and only the sound of small breathing could be heard.

Ji-yeon Lee, who had been quiet for a while, leaned closer to her, entangling her body with her arms and legs and whispering.

“···If I do it wrong… Is it not possible?”

My heart started pounding like it was going to explode at the small word she whispered.

I felt so frustrated that I couldn’t breathe, so I wanted to escape, but Jiyeon Lee was tightly tying me up, so it wasn’t easy to move.

The guilt that had built up in her chest began to grow and oppress her heart.

Her heart sank as she remembered her white hair, her blushing face, and the way she rolled her eyes here and there shyly.

I couldn’t sleep for a while and had a nightmare

I woke up looking into the eyes of the woman who was strangling me in my dream.

*

While waiting for Hyun Hayeon to take her to her next schedule, I was looking at her with her bruises.

“···Oppa, ···Oppa?”

She was able to come to her senses thanks to Hyun Hayeon shaking her awake.

“···Uh? Sorry, I was thinking about something for a moment…”

Hyeon Hayeon sat down next to her and spoke.

“···Why do you keep blanking out today? What’s wrong?”

“···I drank some alcohol yesterday, and I’m a little tired…”

She said with a sigh.

“That’s because you drink so much. Now, quickly drink some more water.”

I opened the lid, took the water handed to me, drank it down, and said thank you.

After Hyeon Hayeon’s practice was over, I took her to the hair salon where I had made a reservation.

We took a pictorial for the album, but since we are not yet active, we decided to take some time to readjust our image.

Since her hair was dark black and gave her a strong look, she suggested that she change it, and she said she liked it.

She had never dyed her hair before, and while wondering what to do, she decided to lose a little of her color at the recommendation of her hairdresser.

As time passed, and she was checking her cell phone for a while, the hairdressers were gathered around Hyeon Hayeon and were talking.

“···What’s going on?”

She approached Hyeon Hayeon and asked the hairdressers, and the hairdresser in charge looked embarrassed and explained.

“···Team leader, the color is not fading…”

Hyun Hayeon, reflected in her mirror, had an expression that said she didn’t understand.

First, it was suggested that we wash her hair and then try again.

While the hairdresser came out after washing the confused Hyeon Hayeon and drying her hair, the other hairdressers gathered once again and began to discuss.

After that, she came to the conclusion that no matter how many times she tried it, neither dyeing nor bleaching her hair worked.

“···I can’t dye my hair for the rest of my life?”

Her hairdresser gave a small nod to Hyun Ha-yeon, who was looking at her gloomy expression, and comforted her, saying that there was nothing he could do.

As she looked at her, Baek Ga-eun’s words suddenly came to mind.

Baek Ga-eun, who hated her white hair as a child, said she tried everything she could to change it, but ended up covering it up.

In thousands of pasts, Baek Ga-eun’s pure white hair and Hyeon Ha-yeon’s dark black hair have never changed.

Only then did she realize the effects of the curse.

She dropped Hyeon Hayeon off at the gym and returned to her company.

Hyeon Ha-yeon and Baek Ga-eun reported to the relevant departments that it was difficult to change their hairstyles.

Hyeon Hayeon, who was to debut as a singer, had relatively few problems, but Baek Ga-eun, who had to digest her various images, had many problems.

She quickly scheduled her meeting and headed to Baek Ga-eun’s practice room because she had some business to do.

Looking at Baek Ga-eun through her small window reminded her of the mistake she made last night.

No matter how drunk she was, she should have said she would buy the drugs, even if it meant breaking her savings.

When I was younger, I was pathetic for being young and brave without knowing anything about the world.

‘Knock’

She knocked on the door, opened the door to the practice room, exposed her face, and carefully spoke.

“···Is it okay if I go in?”

Baek Ga-eun smiled and greeted.

“It’s okay, come in.”

She took a seat in a corner of the practice room and sat side by side, leaning against the wall.

There was silence.

I came to see her because she had something to say, but she was struggling to figure out how to say it.

She looked at me blankly and spoke with a grin.

“Oppa, aren’t you feeling uncomfortable?”

She was a little taken aback by the sudden conversation, but she struggled to find her composure and answered.

“···I’m fine, ···You drank a lot, too, ···Are you okay?”

Baek Ga-eun looked at me and said with a smile.

“I’m okay too, thank you for your concern.”

“···Uh, yes…”

She was so shy yesterday, but she had a smile on her face, wondering where she was going and what she was so good at.

She stood up and searched for something in her bag, then brought out a small envelope and handed it to me.

“Well, I promised.”

What she held in her hand was a small medicine bag containing six white pills.

It must be the male contraceptive pill promised yesterday.

The moment I extended my hand to her with a bright smile and thanked her, she withdrew my hand and spread the distance between me.

“···Oppa, can you see how many of these I heard?”

Baek Ga-eun started counting the pills so that I could see clearly.

“One, two, three…”

There were exactly six.

Baek Ga-eun shook the medicine and said.

“I heard six, so it’s six million won?”

She was so embarrassed by her playfully extending her hand that she didn’t know what to do.

She laughed out loud, probably because it was funny to see me fidgeting, and handed me her medicine, saying it was a joke.

“···Thank you.”

If you take one pill for 12 hours, or one pill before going home, you are safe for at least a week.

I felt a little reassured by the thought that I might be okay as long as I got through the most dangerous period.

Although I made a little mistake, I was fortunate to have Baek Ga-eun as an ally.

While I was putting the medicine in my arms, Baek Ga-eun was looking at me intently.

“···What’s wrong?”

Baek Ga-eun looked at her for a while, and then she cautiously opened her mouth, as if she had decided something.

“···Oppa, we did it once yesterday, right?”

“···Huh?”

Baek Ga-eun lowered her head and looked around, then looked up at me and said.

“···Do it five more times.”

···What?

“···Ga-eun, that is…”

Before I could answer, Baek Ga-eun hit the player.

“Give me the medicine again.”

I was taken aback by the sight of him holding out his hand with a straight face and with a straight face.

Yesterday was a huge mistake, but five times? ···It was better to die.

“···Oh, no, yesterday was definitely just one time…”

Baek Ga-eun still looked at me with a straight face and said.

“Oppa, you said you weren’t going to marry senior Jiyeon.”

“···That’s true…”

Baek Ga-eun did not give me a chance to refute what I was doing.

“So, are you dating?”

“···Not really, but still···”

“But why can’t you do it? You don’t like doing it with me? Is it because I’ve never kissed before or because I’m so bad at it?”

I had to say something and refute it, but they were all difficult questions to answer.

While she was deciding what to say, she got up, locked the door to her practice room, and sat down nearby.

“I did it once anyway, so isn’t it okay to do it twice?”

That is correct.

I have already crossed the line.

She could make the excuse that she was drunk at the time, but now she is sober.

“Well, Ga-eun, I…”

I tried to beg Baek Ga-eun to pay her to stop her, but she wouldn’t listen to me.

“If you don’t do it to the count of three, there is no medicine.”

We must stop her.

Her head was spinning, trying to think of a way to persuade her, but she couldn’t think of a suitable move.

As if Baek Ga-eun had no intention of waiting, she opened her arms and said.

“Brother, you know that you have to wait a long time before this medicine can be sold on the market, right? One…”

If you don’t take the medicine, you will have to marry Lee Ji-yeon.

In that case, breaking the curse becomes close to impossible.

However, if you want to take medicine, you must follow Baek Ga-eun’s instructions.

Instead of being careful with Baek Ga-eun, she has to use skinship to keep Lee Ji-yeon in check.

···There is no answer.

“Two…”

As I watched her counting helplessly, I started to get more and more anxious.

Without realizing it, she extended her hand slightly to Baek Ga-eun.

As she was about to withdraw her hand, Baek Ga-eun said with a grin.

“···I think it’s acting practice. We kiss in movies too, right?”

After she finished speaking, her heart sank when she saw Lee Ji-yeon waiting with her tongue out.

···Wouldn’t it be okay to practice acting?

No, no matter what…

“Three···, town···chung···”

In the end, I ended up kissing her.

Her tongue carefully entered her mouth and slowly began to explore various places.

“Chuhup…, Chuck…”

The tongue that had been gently probing inside her mouth for a long time moved away.

She gasped as if she was out of breath.

“Haa… Haa…, Four times… There are left.”

Looking at her grinning face, I was convinced that she had made a big mistake again.
