Dry Monsoon

The shower room was very small. It wasn’t unexpected, but every time I washed my hair, my elbows bumped into the wall, and when I turned around, I could see the outside right away. Fortunately, there was plenty of hot water.

A strange sense of guilt came over me. Earlier, I had overlooked it because I only paid attention to Kwon Lee Hyun, but isn’t this Kwon Hae-in’s caravan?

With a deep sigh, I turned off the faucet and wrapped myself in a thick towel. The bathroom was right in front of the exit of the shower room. To the side, there was a sink and a mirror. Getting myself out of the towel, I skimmed through the drawer under the sink and I wore one of Lee Hyun’s spear shirts which reached to my mid-thigh. To my own amazement, my handbag was lying on top of the sink. Who brought it here?

I wish I had turned on the air conditioner from the beginning. Considering how many times I almost suffocated during sex, it felt like heaven right now.

Air-conditioned room, cold beer, and… even a barbecue plate. Damn, I’m truly in heaven.

I bit my lower lip as I looked at the food on the table. After talking with Secretary Kim, Lee Hyun came into the caravan, smiled, kissed my lips and walked straight into the shower room.

“It’s not hot here, so don’t worry.”

His voice echoed through the glass door. After removing the towel from my head, I shook off my wet hair and looked at the silhouette reflected in the glass door. There was the sound of water pouring over his beautiful body that made me salivate.

Am I going crazy? Shaking my head, I sighed and sat down on the sofa.

“I am skipping dinner. It may be a little cold, but it tastes good. If you’re hungry, eat first.”

His voice came through the opaque glass door.

“It looks delicious. It smells like art” I said to myself.

I waited for him patiently, swallowing my saliva as if I was trying my best to appreciate the rice cake in front of me. After a few minutes, he came out. A large towel was wrapped around his waist and water droplets from his wet hair fell down on top of his bare chest.

It was so hard to take my eyes off of him. I took in a deep breath and gave him a tight smile.

He opened the drawer under the sink and rummage through it to find some clothes. Still wrapped in a towel, he approached and sat next to me. Then he opened all the transparent covers and placed the chopsticks and a beer in front of me.

“Don’t wait, eat.”

“How can you do that? We have to eat together.”

“Then eat now.”

“What– “

He stuffed a piece of meat in my mouth, and unconsciously I let out a pleasing moan. The combination of white rice and sweet charcoal-grilled ribs was indescribably fantastic. He seemed to be content after seeing my expression, he leaned back and drank his beer. Wiping the seasoning off my lips, I looked around and asked carefully.

“By the way, this belongs to Kwon Hae-in, right? Is it okay for me to be this comfortable?”

At my question, Lee Hyun, who had already emptied the beer, frowned.

“This is also my caravan. Actually, I have come here more often than Hae-in. I came here a few days back too”

“Really? Then the janitor…”

“I hired him. It’s dark, it’s secretive. I like it because it’s a place where you can’t see anything.”

Lee Hyun leaned on the sofa, tilted the newly pulled beer can, and stared at me with his darkened eyes. I tried to ignore the gaze and began to munch on the food in front of me.

Kwon Soo-Yeon, his sister described him as he is a man who had no interest in women. However, the sex I just had was far from normal as I knew.

So, is he a man born with everything? One of those unfair beings who can do everything above average?

I finished my meal while sinking in my own thoughts. After dinner, I stepped out of the caravan for a short walk. I couldn’t go far as I was only wearing his drawers and his shirt. Still, I measured the approximate size of the site by looking at the firefly habitat.

I couldn’t believe I was drunk with just three cans of beer. I felt so light and intoxicated, that I wrapped my arms around myself. I hummed up to the caravan, took off my shoes and fell on the bed. I consciously chose the opposite side of the bed from where the both of us did the deed.

Even at a glance, the sheet on the other side of the bed was badly wet and was embarrassing just to look at it.

After finishing his call, Lee-Hyun turned off the lights and came to bed. He also looked at the wet sheets and touched his chin as if he was wondering. I sighed and leaned against the wall.

“You can come here, there’s a little bit of space.”

“It would be narrow.”

“Can you sleep in a wet place?”

“If I come there, can you sleep?”

“Ah…”

As I opened my mouth to reply, he came over with a grin and pulled the thin blanket up to my shoulders. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and caressed my cheek.

“Go to sleep. I can’t sleep anyway.”

It was a brief moment, but I noticed his voice trembling slightly. As I was about to ask why I remembered he had fallen asleep on sleeping pills last time. A man who needed sleeping pills even after three days of no sleep.

I pressed my lips tightly, shrugged my shoulders once and closed my eyes. Even though my eyes were closed, my ears were on alert. He got up and sat down on the sofa. There was a sound of flipping of pages for a long time. How long has it been? I clasped my sheet tightly.

“Hey…”

I pulled the sheet up to the tip of my nose and slightly raised my upper body. Lee Hyun, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his head and looked at me. He looked like a Greek god under the warm light from the night lamp, he was like a celebrity who jumped out of a fashion magazine. I felt as if the power of alcohol had clouded my senses.

“If you’re not going to sleep… Can you come over for a second?”

“Can’t you sleep? You must be tired.”

“Oh, that’s true, but….”

He put down the book, turned off the lamp, and walked over to me. I gently lifted the sheet to make space for one more person. Seeing that his eyes narrowed.

“Let’s just talk. I’m really just going to talk. I’m not going to touch you… it won’t happen.”

The corners of his lips drew to a smirk. What actually came on to me to say something like that? Looking down at me, he sat down beside me on the bed and leaned down and bit me on my chest. As I gasped out at his sudden attack, he raised his head and smiled languidly.

“Sure. I’ll fumble a little and put my hand on it. Even if I get on Ji-Eun’s ride, I don’t regret it.. Do you understand?”
