Obsessive man
Obsessed Man: 04
Woojin ate his food while staring elsewhere, his cheeks turning red at my words. After spending a slightly awkward but good time like that, we left the restaurant.
박 우진
It's already dark.
김 여주
I'll be going now.
박 우진
I want to stay with you longer.
김 여주
"I'd like to stay with you longer, Woojin, too, but I have to go to work tomorrow, and it's too late, so I guess it can't be helped."
박 우진
"That company is nothing, I can just skip it tomorrow too."
김 여주
I feel guilty just for missing one day, so how can I skip another? You absolutely have to go to work tomorrow, Woojin.
박 우진
"...Well, if you go, I should go too."
김 여주
Then, see you tomorrow!
Afraid that Mr. Park Woojin might offer to take me home, I patted his head and ran blindly. It would just be a waste of time to take him to my house, which is far away.
Walking through the dark alley I had to pass to get home was scary, but thanks to the sound of footsteps behind me, I thought it was a relief that there was someone going in the same direction.
However, I became so scared of the person walking so close behind me until we were almost at the end of the alley that I barely managed to pick up my phone and call Mr. Park Woo-jin.
김 여주
"Woojin, I'm really scared right now..."
박 우진
"So why did you run off? Where is it?"
김 여주
- "Here, the alley...-"
Before I could even finish speaking, I dropped my phone, perhaps because my hands were trembling. Just as I was about to pick it up, I was so frightened by the sudden sensation of something touching my waist and stomach that I couldn't do anything.
황 민현
"..Yeoju, I had a little to drink.. *Hiccup*, ahh.. I'm hiccuping."
김 여주
You've mistaken me for someone else..
황 민현
It's Kim Yeo-ju.
It had been a long time since I heard that voice, but I recognized it immediately. Hearing the voice and knowing who it was made me even more scared, and I felt like I couldn't do anything. So I tried to pretend I didn't know, but it seems that just because a year has passed doesn't mean you can't recognize someone.
황 민현
"Hmph, I really reflected on my actions. I missed you so much, Yeoju."
Looking at my condition, I can tell I am very drunk. Even though I speak properly, the way I keep staggering and unable to control my body is exactly like when I used to get really drunk in the past.
김 여주
"You must be really drunk. Go away. Why are you doing this to me?"
황 민현
"I really reflected on my actions, seriously... I'm sorry, okay?"
He apologized, then suddenly pushed me against the wall and caressed my lips.
김 여주
"..! Don't do this, seriously."
황 민현
"Yeoju."
김 여주
I really told you not to do it.
황 민현
"Hoo..."
김 여주
"Hmph, hmph..!"
Even though I warned him, he pressed his lips against mine, as if he couldn't hear me because I was so drunk. On top of this disgusting feeling, I can't breathe, and I feel like I'm going crazy.
김 여주
"Mmm, huff... uh-huh..."
황 민현
"..Ah!"
It was me who suddenly let out a groan, tumbled to the floor, and collapsed. As my legs gave way and I slumped down, the person who had done that to Hwang Min-hyun kindly asked me.
옹 성우
Are you alright, miss?
김 여주
"..Thank you.. Thank you so much."
옹 성우
"It's only natural to help someone who's being forcibly kissed. It's pitch black, so I can't even see that bastard's face clearly. Ugh, what a pervert."
옹 성우
"..Oh, right. My name is Ong Seong-wu."
김 여주
"..Yes, I'm Kim Yeo-ju."
I suddenly reached into my pocket and pulled out a utility knife that I found. I didn't want to do what I used to do in front of a stranger, but I felt like I was going crazy, so I eventually started slashing my wrists.
옹 성우
"Excuse me, what are you doing?!"
김 여주
"Just ignore them, they're trying to kill themselves."
옹 성우
"This young lady, seriously... how can you ignore her when she's suddenly trying to kill herself right next to you."
김 여주
It's not sudden, so don't worry about it and just go... Ugh.
옹 성우
"See, it hurts. What's wrong? Stop it."
I felt sorry for that person, but ignoring their words, I slashed my wrist even harder. Even as I was slashing my wrist like a madman, I had no choice but to stop at the sudden sound of a voice.
박 우진
"..Kim Yeo-ju."
김 여주
"..."
박 우진
"What are you doing—"
김 여주
"...It's because...it's just too hard. I want to die."
박 우진
"..Try it."
김 여주
"..What did you say?"
박 우진
"Go ahead and try. Weren't you trying to kill yourself? I said go ahead and try."
Hearing those words, I choked up and looked at my wrist. My tears touched my wrist, which now looked raw from so many cuts.
박 우진
"Kim Yeo-ju, I know you don't want to die. If I thought you wanted to die, would I have told you to try dying in the first place?"
Mr. Park Woo-jin, who crouched down to be at eye level with me as I slumped onto the floor, hugged me, whose vision was blurred from crying, and warmly called my name.
박 우진
"..Yeoju."
It is Mr. Park Woo-jin who speaks kindly to me as I answer in a sobbing voice while being held in his arms.
박 우진
No one wants to die. Everyone wants to live. That is why everyone is afraid of dying.
박 우진
Thinking you want to die simply means you don't want to live your own life. You want to live a new life; who would want to give up on life?
박 우진
"You hate being entangled with that bastard, don't you? Then you can start a new life now, Yeoju. It’s too much of a waste and too upsetting to give up your one and only life just because of one person."
Thanks to Mr. Park Woojin, who spoke to me so kindly, I feel much better. My suicidal thoughts vanished instantly, and I am shedding tears of relief because of you.
김 여주
"..thank you."
박 우진
"If you're grateful, don't do this again. What are you doing to my pretty wrist? If it's hard, cut my body, not yours."
김 여주
"...I won't draw a line."
박 우진
Yeah, you're a good boy.
It was only then that Mr. Park Woo-jin smiled and extended his hand to help me up. Then, he immediately asked me.
박 우진
"Is that bastard lying there the ex-boyfriend you told me about?"
김 여주
"Uh-huh..."
박 우진
"Should I kill him?"
옹 성우
"I'll handle it, so please go. Killing someone is a bit... dangerous, isn't it?"
박 우진
"...Understood. Thank you."
옹 성우
Yes, go ahead.
김 여주
"..Thank you, goodbye."
After arriving at my house and walking me to my room, I told him he could leave now. Then, Mr. Park Woo-jin asked me to let him stay the night, saying he had a hard time looking for me.
김 여주
"No!"
박 우진
"Ugh, why?"
In the end, I fell for Mr. Park Woo-jin, who was acting cute and asking to be put to sleep.
김 여주
"..Just for today."
I accepted it.
박 우진
"Hehe, then let's go to sleep."
As Mr. Park Woojin lay down on my bed and spoke, I told him I would sleep on the sofa. After all, the idea of lovers sleeping in the same room seemed a bit dangerous and strange.
박 우진
"Why, let's sleep together. I'll just hold your hand while we sleep, okay?"
김 여주
"..Phew, got it."
In the end, I gave in to Mr. Park Woo-jin again like this, and we lay down in bed together.
박 우진
"Hmph..."
김 여주
"What is so funny that you're laughing, Woojin?"
박 우진
"I don't like Woojin, call me Oppa."
김 여주
I'll call you Woojin-ssi. I don't really like being called Oppa.
박 우진
"Tch, that was mean."
김 여주
"What do you mean, go to sleep quickly."
박 우진
"Okay, good night, my Yeoju."
김 여주
Yes, good night.
After a few minutes had passed, Mr. Woojin seemed to have already fallen asleep. I was muttering to myself that he was sleeping soundly while others couldn't even sleep because they were trembling, when I was startled by a voice I heard suddenly.
박 우진
"...I'm not sleeping. Yeoju, I'm sorry for saying this out of the blue, but I really, really like you. So please don't let something like that happen again. I'm going crazy."
박 우진
"You'll always stay by my side from now on, right?"
김 여주
Of course, I love you.
박 우진
"I love you too."
