I’m Going Crazy

 

A strange silence fell. Eun-cho’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but then pressed shut again.

The woman clenched her tiny fist and jumped up from her seat. They almost bumped heads in an unfortunate incident.

“Then, I’ll go to my room.”

As if burned, the woman was startled and scurried away.

She was in such a hurry that she grabbed the handle of a side door instead of the door she’d entered through.

Forgetting the bolt was locked, she pulled hard on the side door in the wall, causing a rattling noise. Eun-cho’s already pale face turned even whiter.

“Good night.”

Eun-cho seemed to regain her senses and turned again, opening the door to the main hall. The woman, who had been so close, vanished like a mirage.

Ha, sleep well, she says?

After putting me in this state?

At a time that isn’t even 10 PM?

“…….”

He let out a low breath, aware of the part of him that had momentarily swelled to a painful size. Lee Eun-cho, who claimed to be a model citizen, hadn’t really done anything to him. She hadn’t even made a clumsy pass, nor had there been any significant contact.

Besides, judging by the way she scurried away, she seemed to have little to no experience with intimate situations with men. Or, conversely, she could be a master of the game. Though that seemed highly unlikely.

Is it a sin to feel lust for a woman, especially one you’re considering marrying? Still, when he thought of Lee Eun-cho talking about holding hands with such an innocent face, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

“God damn it.”

Tae-san spat the curse under his breath, turned off the light bulb, and flopped onto the thick mattress.

The fluffy blanket wrapped around him, and he felt utterly exhausted.

The old fan whirred noisily, but it wasn’t enough to cool his fevered body. He’d taken a quick shower in the bathroom outside when Eun-cho left, but it hadn’t helped at all. The sticky feeling clung to his skin, refusing to let go.

‘She’s pretty cruel, Lee Eun-cho.’

To have this standoff with only a thin wall between them.

He shouldn’t have chosen this room in the first place. And he’d never encountered a room with such poor soundproofing. As an executive at a construction company, he couldn’t just ignore it.

A poorly constructed traditional house with no privacy was a major problem. Without even trying, he could clearly picture what Lee Eun-cho was doing. Her movements and even the sounds were distinct. It was as if his hearing had become more sensitive now that his vision was blocked.

To think he’d be letting his imagination run wild like a teenager at his age. This torment was unexpected.

‘I should just sleep.’

The reason he’d come all the way to this countryside was to get a definitive answer about the marriage. Yet, instead of applying pressure, he seemed to be the one being pressured.

Moonlight streamed in through the lattice window, faintly illuminating the dark room. Only enough light remained to distinguish objects.

The short summer night in the quiet countryside, filled with the sound of crickets, felt exceptionally long.

Despite being tired from the long drive, he couldn’t seem to fall asleep. Tae-san tossed and turned, lying on his side facing the wall.

“…….”

Then he opened his eyes and froze.

Eun-cho’s movements were projected onto the thin paper screen in the room, which was only dimly lit by a nightlight.

The flickering shadow was imprinted on his eyes. Eun-cho held a hair tie between her lips and swept back her falling hair.

As she tied her hair up tightly, her delicate neckline was revealed. He could see the curves of her figure, which he had thought was slender, as she seemed to be wearing tight clothes. He could see her full chest and her slim waist at a glance.

The shadow was vague, not explicit, and all the more alluring for it.

‘I’m going crazy.’

He couldn’t believe he was staring so blankly, and even more absurd that unholy thoughts were swirling within him. He couldn’t allow himself to spy like this. It would be different if he could admire her openly.

Just as he was about to turn away, Tae-san’s eyes widened at Eun-cho’s next action.

As if it were the most natural thing in the world, Eun-cho alternately slipped her hands into the sleeves of her short-sleeved shirt and pulled something out. She removed something from her body without hesitation, as if pulling out a radish, it was underwear.

How on earth does underwear come off from there?

He couldn’t understand the principle of taking off a bra without removing her outer clothes, but anyway, the grand finale was driving him crazy.

Defenseless.

With a click, Eun-cho turned off the nightlight and lay down. She probably had no idea what kind of hell she’d put him through with her innocent face. Beyond the door, only even breaths could be heard.

‘This is ridiculous.’

In the end, Tae-san got up, opened the door, and went outside. He ran a large hand over his face, which was contorted with frustration, but the slender neckline remained imprinted on his mind.

Crazy bastard.

It wasn’t like he didn’t know women. There was no reason to act like some simpleton… It was the first time he’d reacted so intensely to someone’s body or relationship. Embarrassingly, his aroused body showed no signs of calming down.

“Haa.”

It was the tail end of summer, and the wind was still hot. The heat of the day had only slightly subsided. The humid air made his skin even stickier.

He felt like he needed to douse himself in cold water to come to his senses. He couldn’t possibly stay up all night with his eyes wide open like a madman.

Tae-san headed to the bathroom in the back garden where he had washed earlier. Though he wasn’t sure if it could accurately be called a bathroom. In the space surrounded by dense reed screens, a wooden jacuzzi sat alone. When he raised the dark brown screen, he could see the low wall and the tangerine trees planted in front of it.

He lowered the screen to prevent the gaze of outsiders, but the imperfect barrier created an intimate atmosphere. The scent of grass and moonlight flowed gently through the gaps in the woven wood.

Tae-san picked up the dipper instead of turning on the shower.

Splash, and Splash.

Each time he poured the water from the jacuzzi over himself, the sound of water and skin colliding broke the silence.

The cold water seemed to jolt him awake. As the heat subsided, the fever that had been burning his body also cooled.

“Hoo.”

Tae-san let out a low breath and tossed the dipper he was holding into the tub.

However, the dipper bounced off the edge of the tub and hit the washbasin on the shelf next to it.

“Ah.”

As he tried to catch the washbasin that was about to fall, the last remaining towel fell into the jacuzzi.

Clang, the washbasin and towel created an unusually loud noise that seemed to tear through the air, he failed to protect anything.

It was an awkward situation, but what was done was done. He’d achieved his goal, so he needed to return to his room. He roughly wiped his wet body with the thin t-shirt and was about to put on his underwear and shorts.

“……!”

The wooden screen swayed, and moonlight poured in all at once. And Eun-cho appeared, silhouetted against the stone lantern in the back garden.

“Manbok, you little bastard!”

She started by throwing a curse in his face the moment she saw him?

Tae-san raised his left eyebrow. This time, Eun-cho’s face was filled with embarrassment.

“Why, why are you here? Weren’t you, weren’t you sleeping?”

“Manbok?”

Eun-cho, so surprised that she was stuttering, released the foot she had been holding.

Swish, the screen lowered, and the two stood facing each other in the enclosed bathroom.

He’d come all the way out here to escape her, but in the end, he’d run into her again.

“That, um, it’s a cat we raise in the yard. It often causes trouble…….”

It was just a washbasin falling, but the snowball effect was enormous. Why was she running out looking for a cat when she should have been sleeping?

“Isn’t that a bit of a weak excuse to use while staring so intently at my body?”

Eun-cho blinks with a blank face and makes a heeik! sound as she tilts her head diagonally.

She was going to break her neck.

She didn’t seem to be doing it on purpose, as she was staring so intently at the floor as if she didn’t know where to look…….

The problem lay with his lower body.

He’d barely managed to calm it down, but now another source of trouble had come rolling in like a vine, setting him on fire. Fortunately, he’d managed to grab some paltry pants to cover the angry part.

“I’m sorry. I’ll go out first……. Ah!”

Eun-cho moved hastily.

She didn’t even look where she was going and bumped into a pillar.

She was a mess.

That’s when it happened.

“Eun-cho! Lee Eun-cho! Cho-cho!”

A voice calling for Eun-cho anxiously could be heard from outside. Eun-cho, who had been about to lift the screen and go out, turned back to Tae-san, her face pale again.

“Mmph!”

“Shh! It’s Jeong-seok!”

Eun-cho, standing on tiptoe, firmly covered Tae-san’s mouth with her small hand, as if determined not to let a single breath escape.
