After going upstairs and walking straight ahead, I saw the bedroom.
When I said I’d sleep on the sofa,
I told the homeowner to go sleep in the bedroom,
and got a thorough scolding for saying a girl shouldn’t sleep on the sofa.
The bedroom I went up to while grumbling was
as incredible as I’d expected.
Wanting to wash off my sweat-soaked body from all that tension,
I carelessly tossed my clothes onto the floor and headed into the bathroom.
Above the buttons set into the bathroom wall,
so I could tell what kind of shower product each one was,
the lettering was engraved.
When I pressed the shampoo button, a set amount of shampoo came out from beneath it.
Just enough for one man to use.
It was nowhere near enough for long hair,
so I kept pressing the button two or three times.
After showering, I put on the robe left on the bed.
The robe, far too big for my body,
kept sliding down off my shoulders.
When I flopped down on the bed,
my whole body smelled like powdery soap.
I brought the robe covering the back of my handup to my nose.
“Ah, Huang Hyunjin’s smell..”
Without realizing it, I muttered, calling this scent Huang Hyunjin’s scent.
Even though it was definitely a nice smell,
for some reason I felt oddly uneasyand slightly furrowed my brow.
It felt so unfamiliar to smell like someone else.
After blinking my heavy eyelids a few times, I looked around.
When I turned to the side, beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass,
bright sunlight was pouring in until it stung my eyes.
The rippling light in the garden caught the sunlight and sparkled beautifully.
Rubbing my barely open eyes, I came down the stairs,
and saw Huang Hyunjin, who looked like he was still in dreamland.
Huang Hyunjin, sleeping so soundly that someone could carry him off without him noticing,
wasn’t snoring or grinding his teeth,
and had his eyes shut tight like a baby.
Driven crazy by the thirst hitting me all at once,
I went closer, about to poke his sleeping shoulder,
but at the faint sound of his soft breathing,
I gently folded back my raised index finger.
Maybe he sensed my presence in that brief moment,
because Huang Hyunjin stirred for a moment and opened his eyes.
” What.. “
He managed to blurt out a single word in a voice thick with sleep.
I cleared my throat a few times so I wouldn’t look startled.
“No, um.. I just wanted some water.”
“Water…. It’s in the bedroom fridge. You didn’t see it.”
He lightly rubbed his puffy eyes and sat up.
After following Huang Hyunjin as he walked off somewhere for a while,
he pointed with his hand to the water purifier in the kitchen,
then went back to the sofa and let his body sag as if exhausted.
I glanced at him sideways,
poured water from the purifierand drank it down quickly.
I could feel the cold water going down my throat.
“Where do I put the cup when I’m done?”
“Just put it in the sink.”
No matter how hard I looked around, I couldn’t see any sink.
After searching for a while, a recessed hollow caught my eye.
Just in case, I reached out and touched it,
and water gushed out from between the marble.
was the sink.
As soon as I put the cup in the hollow, I heard the front door open.
“Young master, did you sleep well?”
“Get lost.. Since it’s the weekend, let me sleep in a little… ”
Huang Hyunjin, lying face down with his face buried in a cushion,
didn’t even look at the man in a suitand only waved his hand.
At that single rude gesture,
the man didn’t add a single word,
gave a slight nod of his head,and quietly headed outside.
