Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 53

#53. My friend’s story
2023.12.01.

“Why over there… … .”

Yerin was lying on the bed. She was

covered with the blanket all the way to her chin.

Lee Hyun slowly walked, wondering what the hell was going on.

“Secretary Han?”

There was no answer when he called her.

Lee Hyun approached and found Yerin sound asleep with her eyes tightly shut, letting out a low sigh.

“Ha.”

She was asleep.

“Really?”

She seemed to be sleeping.

No, she was sleeping.

It was so absurd that he could hear the sound of air escaping from Lee Hyun’s mouth.

“So now.”

In the house where I was walking around like this.

“You’re saying she fell asleep.”

And so comfortably.

Lee Hyun slowly swept his lower lip with his tongue.

She had been so dizzyingly tempting him a moment ago, but now she was sleeping with the most comfortable expression on her face.

Seeing that, Lee Hyun let out a snickering, breathless laugh.

“Yeah, it’s better than drinking more.”

It seemed better to sleep like this.

But still, it felt really strange.

Just a while ago, when she approached me first and even kissed me.

“It seems like you don’t not see me as a man.”

Had she already become comfortable in the meantime?

While thinking about that, Lee Hyun first turned off the lights in the guest room.

Then he locked the door to the room she was sleeping in from the inside and pulled it open.

It was a kind of safety device.

He didn’t want me to lose consciousness and open the door to this room.

After putting Yerin in a safe place, Lee Hyun slowly came out to the living room.

As he walked, he couldn’t stop laughing at the absurd situation.

It was so ridiculous that someone would think he was crazy.

“Am I that comfortable?”

That couldn’t be right.

“Even if it’s a fake relationship, it’s like that.”

Lee Hyun sat on the living room sofa with a very troubled expression. He

had so many worries.

“There’s no way my kissing was that bad.”

He felt like he had a lot of homework that he couldn’t solve on his own.

“Who should I ask?”

After hesitating for a while, Lee Hyun picked up his phone and made a call.

The caller picked up the phone shortly after hearing the connection tone.

He spoke in a somewhat annoyed voice.

– Chief, it’s past midnight.

“I know, Secretary Choi.”

– Haa. If I was with a woman, why are you calling me at such an early hour?

“Secretary Choi, I’m just curious.”

– If it’s about work, I’ve stepped down from the front line, so I’ll ask Secretary Han… … .

“It’s a personal curiosity. I can never ask Secretary Han.”

Secretary Choi seemed a bit curious at Lee Hyun’s urgent shout.

– What on earth is that?

“It’s about my friend.”

He couldn’t bring himself to say it was about him.

Secretary Choi seemed to have laughed at Lee Hyun’s mention of his friend.

– Do you have a friend, Chief?

“Secretary Choi.”

Secretary Choi took the call seriously at Lee Hyun’s low, growling voice.

– I’m sorry. You must be very close to that friend. Judging from the fact that you called me at midnight to solve your problem for me.

“Oh. We’re very close.”

– Anyway, what happened to that friend?

“No, he had a drink with his girlfriend at home.”

– Huh?

“But… … .”

Lee Hyun hesitated for a long time as he spoke, his mouth not moving properly.

“We were drinking together, and the woman got drunk… … .”

– Huh, that’s why!

“I spilled some wine on my clothes. So I went into my room to change.”

– Huh!

Secretary Choi seemed anxious and also expected something.

Lee Hyun continued with a sullen face.

“It was quiet, so I knocked for a while, and she was asleep.”

– Huh? You’re saying she was alone?

“Huh.”

– … … .

“Secretary Choi?”

– So you’re saying that a man and a woman drank alone at home, and the woman got drunk and went to bed first?

“Exactly.”

As expected, Secretary Choi was smart and understood what he said well, and Lee Hyun was inwardly impressed.

-Director, listen carefully.

He’ll probably tell you a realistic story about this soon, Lee Hyun, who had been waiting, furrowed his brows when he heard Secretary Choi’s words.

-That woman doesn’t see the director as a man at all.

Lee Hyun almost dropped the phone.

“No. It seems that Secretary Choi didn’t hear it properly because my explanation was insufficient.”

Unable to explain the situation in detail again, Lee Hyun slowly rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger.

“I told you it wasn’t my story.”

-Yes, then I think it would be better to tell your friend clearly.

Secretary Choi made a firm decision.

-Director, that relationship seems wrong, so don’t be lingering… …

“Secretary Choi, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

It wasn’t worth listening to anymore.

Lee Hyun quickly ended the call and threw the phone on the sofa.

“Yeah, Secretary Choi hasn’t had a girlfriend for quite some time, right?”

So it seemed like he was giving such an absurd answer.

“I guess I’m anxious that I might be the first to fall in love.”

He decided to think so, but that didn’t make the uneasy feeling growing inside him go away.

“Whew.”

His mind was even more complicated.

Lee Hyun stared at the tightly shut guest room door, then picked up a notepad and pen.

He wrote something down and stuck it on the door, then grabbed his coat and went straight out of the house.

He didn’t have the confidence to stay in that house where Yerin was soundly asleep. He

felt like the beast inside him would peek out at any moment.

Lee Hyun had no choice but to walk to the gym that was set up separately in the villa where he lived.

He felt like tonight would be too long.

　

***

“Hmm.”

The sunlight poured deeply over the bed where Yerin was lying.

Yerin, stretching and pushing her eyelids open, was startled when she found the unfamiliar ceiling.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Last night, a murder occurred in the villa where I was living, and I belatedly remembered that I had come to Lee Hyun’s house.

“I drank too much wine.”

I kept having scary thoughts, so I think I drank wine to fall asleep quickly… … .

“Huh? Wait a minute.”

Suddenly, a scene came to mind between my disjointed memories.

Lee Hyun and I kissing on the sofa.

“What is this?”

I shook my head in shock, but the memory remained vivid.

“Wait a minute.”

So if my memory is correct, I was drunk yesterday and kissed Lee Hyun first.

“That’s ridiculous.”

Yerin froze with her mouth wide open.

“Why on earth? Oh, I promised to be honest, didn’t I?”

Yerin raised her knees and buried her face in them.

“I’m crazy, I’m crazy.”

She really couldn’t understand why she became brave every time she drank alcohol.

“How embarrassed must the chief have been.”

I remember setting fire to the ground out of nowhere, pouring oil on it, and then coming in alone and falling asleep first. It was driving me crazy.

“Ugh.”

When I checked my watch, it was time to wake up Lee Hyun and send him to Jinheonjae first.

Yerin slowly walked toward the door while wearing the comfortable clothes she borrowed from Lee Hyun.

“Huh? Did I even lock the door?”

She didn’t remember that.

Yerin quickly turned the doorknob and took a step into the living room.

“What’s this?”

The note on the door must have blown away in the wind.

There was a note in front of the guest room.

“It’s the director’s handwriting.”

The note was neatly written and very concise.

“I’m going to buy something to relieve my hangover, so don’t run away and wait for me.”

It was a note that he had written knowing exactly what Yerin would do when she opened her eyes in the morning.

At that exact moment, the door lock sounded beep.

Then the front door opened and Lee Hyun, in comfortable clothes with wet bangs, appeared.

It seemed like he had just taken a shower and gone out in a hurry.

After Yerin met Lee Hyun’s eyes, she awkwardly greeted him.

“Did you sleep well?”

Lee Hyun chuckled at the question.

“I didn’t sleep at all all night. Looking at your face, Han Yerin, you seem to have slept well.”

“… … .”

Yerin bit her lip because she felt so sorry.

“Come here.”

She followed Lee Hyun into the kitchen, where he placed the plastic bag containing the food on the table.

“I didn’t drink much, but I still need to get over my hangover, right?”

“What is this?”

“I bought some bean sprout soup nearby.”

There was only one dish on the table.

“Do you have any, Lee Hyun?”

“I didn’t drink yesterday.”

“Ah… … .”

That meant that Lee Hyun probably remembered everything that happened yesterday.

“I have to go to Jinheonjae to eat anyway. Come on, Han Yerin.”

Yerin quickly picked up her spoon at those words. She

took a spoonful and put it in her mouth, and the clear broth was exquisite.

“Thank you. You must be tired already, and you even bought this for me.”

Lee Hyun rested his chin on one hand and stared at Yerin as she ate.

“Han Yerin, I’m just curious, so I’m asking.”

“Yes.”

“What on earth did you do yesterday?”

“What are you talking about…?”

For now, she decided to pretend not to know.

Yerin made an awkward smile, pretending not to know anything.

However, Lee Hyun didn’t seem to want to let it go.

“Do you become braver when you drink?”

“No, absolutely not.”

“Then why do you always get physical whenever we drink together? I’m just curious.”

That was something Yerin was really curious about.

Last time, she touched Lee Hyun’s lips and interlocked her hands when she was drunk.

Yesterday, she was the first to touch his lips and ran away.

Wasn’t it that her feelings, which she usually kept hidden, were unlocked and spread wild when she drank?

And since Lee Hyun was always tempted, she thought she might have fallen for it without realizing it because her rational judgment was clouded more than usual.

Aside from all that, she had to apologize for kissing him first yesterday without his permission.

Yerin put down her spoon and lowered her head as if she were a sinner.

“I’m really sorry. Mr. Lee Hyun kept pushing me to be honest… …”

“So?”

“I think I did that without realizing it. If you were uncomfortable, I sincerely apologize.”
