Kwon Taek Joo lifted his heavy eyelids. The familiar scene appeared through his tilted vision. The door was clearly visible in front, the sound of the train running and even the feeling of the table pressing against the cheek. The feeling of waking up little by little when the senses begin to work. His cheeks were drenched, and a strong smell of cognac that began to creep up.
He groaned while lifting his body. The table where he had just put his cheek down was drenched in alcohol. Not to mention the empty bottles of wine are lying there.
Kwon Taek Joo looked around while wiping his wet face. I don't see Zhenya anywhere. As he tried to move his body, a bottle of wine rolling on the floor hit his leg. If you wake up first, you have to clean it up. Kwon Taek Joo was dissatisfied for a moment but quickly dispelled. It's funny to expect minimal humanity or courtesy from Zhenya.
He was about to put the bottle of wine and the empty glass aside and go to the bathroom. There was a sound of water flowing inside that he didn't recognise since now. Is it Zhenya? I don't know if that guy just woke up.
Kwon Taek Joo's whole body was so wet that he really wanted to take a shower first. He regretted it for a while and then lay down on the bed. Maybe it's been a long time since I drank alcohol. His whole body was sluggish as if beaten, his whole body was one with the bed as if nothing could be divided.
The sound of water continues non-stop. The water fell to the floor like a lullaby. His eyelids, which had not yet left sleep, could almost no longer be opened, his ears gradually became distant. Kwon Taek Joo sleeps again? Neglecting work is unacceptable. But his consciousness constantly became ambiguous, making him unable to withstand the feeling of drowsiness to the extreme.
Soon the bathroom door opened. The strange thing is that the sound of water does not stop flowing. Consciousness sinks deeper and deeper with the body also seems to float in the air. It feels weird.
Wet footsteps are getting closer and closer. For a moment, a huge shadow enveloped Kwon Taek Joo lying on the bed. Ah, you have to get up. He tried to stretch and lift his body, but all he could do was jerk his eyebrows.
His right arm was gently raised. Long fingers with a cold feeling followed the back of his hand and the space between his fingers, as if a snake was licking his hand with its tongue, causing Kwon Taek Joo to shudder.
"Stupid rabbit." (Foolish Zainka)
A fishy voice sounded in the ear. Is the voice of Zhenya. There was a little laughter in his breath, but it was as cold as frost, not warm. The hand stroking each finger stopped at the ring finger. The control was so strong that he did not dare to resist. No, his whole body was motionless, as if pressed against a pair of scissors. The instinct emits danger signals with continuous warning lights.
Click. Click. The familiar sound resounded in the ear. The ring finger is grasped and inserted into something. Kwon Taek Joo tries to pull it out but Zhenya doesn't let go easily. The eyes of the man who was coldly looking down at the trembling Kwon Taek Joo suddenly gently widened. At the same time, Kwon Taek Joo's ring finger-sucking cigar cutter once again squealed.
No.
"Oh my god!"
Kwon Taek Joo sat up. His vision opened suddenly and a powerful light came in. His eyes were red, so he closed quickly. He hugged his spinning head and took a deep breath. Vision is inherently dispersed due to light reflection, gradually returning to normal.
Kwon Taek Joo tremblingly raised his hand. The ten fingers on both hands are intact. The ring finger that Zhenya aimed at was still safe.
Just a dream? It was so vivid that it stunned him. Kwon Taek Joo looked around. The table is still messy, empty bottles of wine are still scattered on the floor and the sheets have not been cleaned. It was all like in a dream, even the alcohol stain stuck to his cheek. The only difference is that the smoked cigar butts are piled up on one side of the table. It seems that Zhenya burned all the cigars in one smoke.
Where did he go? Kwon Taek Joo looked at his watch. It's breakfast time. I wonder if he goes to the restaurant alone as always, or if he is diligently watching Hong Yeo Wook's move?
He speculated like this and that and stood up. But the lower lumbar region has an unusually heavy feeling. Kwon Taek Joo lowered his head trying to find out the cause and was startled.
"This..."
His centre is bulging. Aren't you over the age of fantasy? Why was it so exciting early in the morning? His only dream last night was that his finger was cut off. It is said that in addition to sexual pleasure, people can also have an erection due to extreme fear or stress. Kwon Taek Joo never thought he would experience it directly. I just masturbated yesterday, but this morning I seem to have to do it again.
Kwon Taek Joo looks at his immature self and remembers his dream last night. He didn't believe in absurd superstitions like prophetic dreams. But as a human being, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he dreamed of bad things. Maybe you should take a break and take a shower to cool your mind. If Zhenya catches him doing the same thing again, he will tease him all day.
It was then. Suddenly in the quiet bathroom there was the sound of running water.
"..."
Kwon Taek Joo looked startled into the bathroom. Or Zhenya? If it weren't for him, who else would he be, even so, his heart was still pounding, because the feeling of déjà vu was too clear. All of this is the same as in a dream.
First you need to calm down. Just a dream. It's just a fantasy that reflects the human subconscious. He reminded himself and stood up silently. Kwon Taek Joo quietly picked up the Colt. A dream is just a dream, but there is nothing bad about raising your vigilance.
He grabbed the Colt with both hands and slowly proceeded to the bathroom. The sound of the water continues, and the sign of presence is also clear.
Kwon Taek Joo didn't take his eyes off the bathroom doorknob. Should I open it? He hesitated to find an excuse. A sleepy associate breaks into someone else's most private space and points a gun at them. I don't know, but it seems that it will be the subject that he will be teased for 365 days. Should Kwon Taek Joo take such a ridiculous image on himself? He was miserable walking in front of the bathroom door for such a while.
Suddenly the main door of the room opened with no warning. He turned around in surprise to see Zhenya entering. The eyes of the two immediately met. Time also seems to stop for a moment.
"What are you doing? Why is it so sinister?"
Zhenya narrowed his eyes and asked shortly thereafter. Obviously there was a huge misunderstanding here but Kwon Taek Joo didn't know what to say to justify anymore. Did you have a strange dream and are trying to deal with it because it seems that it has come true? If the excuse is like that, it's better not to explain.
By the way, if Zhenya is in front of you, then who is in the bathroom? Instead of explaining his injustice, Kwon Taek Joo repeatedly threw his head towards the bathroom. 'He even moved his lips ''There is someone inside''.' Just when the sound of water stopped flowing. Kwon Taek Joo walked up to the bathroom door and straightened his arms. The black muzzle of the Colt aimed at the closed door.
Zhenya looked at the scene blankly and then walked towards the bathroom without a word of discussion. He didn't hesitate until he jerked off the closed door.
"..."
Kwon Taek Joo reflexively pulled the trigger half but didn't shoot in the end.
"Ah, startled myself. Are you back? Thanks to him, I was able to wash comfortably. Thank you."
The person who appeared in the bathroom was a naked woman. Zhenya hugs her waist and grabs Kwon Taek Joo's Colt. She also hugged Zhenya without hesitation. At first glance, she looked like a European traveller. It seems that this kid has once again used the comfortable bathroom as bait.
Zhenya gently pushed the woman back into the bathroom. The door closed with a chirping sound. The living room is left with only Kwon Taek Joo. Soon, the narrow bathroom began to shake. Her moaning sounded as the moisture spread.
Kwon Taek Joo stood still for a while and threw the Colt on the bed. The sandwich Zhenya brought caught his eye, apparently he bought it to eat with that woman. Kwon Taek Joo chewed it while looking out the window. His blood runs out every day when he has to try to live with someone who is like a wild animal.
"Ah."
Suddenly he lowered his head and stared at his groin. He dealt with it once, but the uncomfortable stiff feeling remained the same. Maybe just a little stimulation will raise its head again.
Kwon Taek Joo stared at the obnoxious bastard between his legs and then pressed it down with a pillow. He deliberately left the waggon window open. The noise of the wheel will cut the vulgar sounds into small pieces.
The woman's name was Louise. She said she was French, about to get married and was travelling alone to enjoy the last moments of freedom. She has visited many countries in Africa and Asia, the most remote lands for her, and from now on, from Russia, she is planning to explore more familiar European countries in search of herself. If the whole journey is completed smoothly, when she returns to France, she will get on a flower car a week later. She and her fiancé agreed so and he was probably just like her now, enjoying the last days of single.
Louise didn't leave even after breakfast. She took over Zhenya's bed and slept there. When she woke up in the late afternoon, she wrapped her arms around Zhenya and begged to go to the restaurant with her. I don't know why he obediently did the request. Zhenya once said that he wouldn't sleep with a person more than twice, and although Kwon Taek Joo wasn't sure, he seemed to really like Louise. She returned from dinner early, taking a sip of beer while telling her story. The information Kwon Taek Joo learned about her was at the time.
Whenever Zhenya is absent, Louise shows interest in Kwon Taek Joo. Every time he raised his head, he met her eyes. She was always the one to start the conversation and smiled brightly.
"You keep reading books. What book is that?"
"It's just a regular detective novel."
"You must like it very much, right?"
"Finding the author's loose and silly justifications is also interesting."
Louise laughed at the harsh response. Kwon Taek Joo looked back at her with serious eyes.
"If you're bored, I can lend it to you?"
He held up the book that he seemed without hesitation. Kwon Taek Joo outlined clear boundaries as if he would not participate in Louise's fire joke. The relationship between two people is a relationship without pressure, even if you get into it, it won't hurt yourself. Even though they know that, how many men will be able to withdraw their legs when they have participated once? Probably very little.
"Women are even more attracted to men who are indifferent to the opposite sex. It's so weird, isn't it?"
Kwon Taek Joo looked at Louise without answering. The eyes of the two for a while became deeper.
Not long after, the door opened and Zhenya entered. Last night he drank like that but now he still holds a bottle of wine. Louise hugged and kissed him on the neck as if she had never paid attention to Kwon Taek Joo. He also laughed and went back to the book.
