Whisper Chapter 8

It wasn’t just unpleasant—it was completely unbearable. Outside the mountain, ghosts were more visible. It was a little better when she was with her grandmother since they couldn’t come too close, but being alone was exhausting as she had so much to keep an eye on.

 

Those times when she went to school alone were not fond memories for Heewoo.

Heewoo had experienced so little that she didn’t know what she liked or disliked. Secluded from the world, she had resigned herself to it and simply adapted.

“Yeah, you do, little miss.”

Though she wasn’t aware of it, Lee Heewoo, who had come down from the mountain, seemed like she was floating about a hand’s breadth off the ground. She sparkled all day long, taking in the world without rest. Surprisingly, she wasn’t shy and could easily strike up conversations with strangers.

Cha Gyeol’s brows furrowed slightly as he suddenly recalled her having a similar conversation with Jang Pal-yong.

Jang Pal-yong was not an easy person to talk to. No matter how much he dressed up, he couldn’t shake off his gangster aura.

Bold in strange ways, huh, damn.

“Aren’t you hungry? Around this time, you usually eat, right?”

Distracted by other things, she hadn’t noticed, but as soon as he mentioned it, she felt hungry. Since it was summer and the days were long, it didn’t feel like evening. On the mountain, it got dark quickly, but here, even with the brightness, everything was lit up.

Her body was turned toward the door, but her head was tilted toward Cha Gyeol, which was amusing. Her porcelain doll-like appearance and soft personality made her oddly endearing. Were all kids like this?

Just when he thought she was moving, they stopped at a red light. Cha Gyeol turned his head, annoyed at the signal change, only to see her staring at him intently, her eyes red around the edges. She seemed tired.

“Is it because you’re a kid that there’s nothing you’re not curious about? I’m thirty-one.”

Her lips puckered at the word “kid,” but her eyes widened and her double eyelids deepened at the mention of thirty-one. Her long lashes fluttered rapidly.

Of course, she had assumed he was in his twenties.

She thought it strange for someone to call her “kid,” but she hadn’t expected such a big age gap. Unconsciously, she bit her lip. At this rate, she couldn’t even bring up anything about how he addressed her.

Suddenly, she remembered how a husband, who was three years older than his wife, treated her like a clueless younger sister until the day he passed away. Every evening, he would pick her up from the shrine when it was time to go home, teasing her about whether she could find her way back. His wife would grumble, saying she wasn’t marrying the neighborhood friend’s older brother for such treatment.

“Is my age so shocking that you’re sighing over it?”

Cha Gyeol glanced at Heewoo, who was sighing with unfocused eyes, lost in thought.

“It’s not that… it’s just the age difference… ha.”

She couldn’t finish her sentence and sighed again.

Was the age difference really that shocking? Cha Gyeol thought about shoving all the cars in front of him out of the way but stopped short of reaching for a cigarette.

“Why does the age difference matter, kiddo? It’s not like we’re going to do anything.”

Heewoo let out a sigh of relief without realizing it, then tilted her head, finding it strange.

Why did she feel relieved? Her eyes followed his large hands gripping the steering wheel. If he held her wrist with those hands, warmth would spread through her whole body. Heewoo, whose body temperature was lower than average, often had cold hands and feet year-round. Though temporary, no effort seemed to keep the warmth for long.

But when she touched Cha Gyeol, warmth lingered for several minutes. That feeling, spreading all the way to her chest, was so comforting that she wanted to keep touching him.

For once, Cha Gyeol seemed at a loss for words, covering his jaw with the hand not holding the wheel. Having had almost no human relationships, Heewoo occasionally did or said something completely unexpected.

“Well, you’re the first person I’ve met like this, and I like being with you. My grandmother isn’t here now, and this isn’t home. When I’m with you, I feel safe and, um, like I’m being protected.”

Lee Heewoo muttered to herself, speaking softly as the thoughts came to her, when she heard a faint chuckle.

“Why does it hurt my pride when you say you feel reassured and protected, little miss?”

The smile on his face was cold. Lee Heewoo hesitated, not understanding what he meant, and cautiously glanced out the window.

After parking in the underground lot of the mansion, he turned to see Lee Heewoo had fallen asleep in the meantime. Clutching the seatbelt with both hands, her sleeping face looked like a doll with its eyes closed. Cha Gyeol, uncharacteristically, paused to observe her. Her flawless, snow-white skin looked as soft as cotton.

Cha Gyeol reached for a cigarette out of habit and put it in his mouth. With the cigarette crooked between his lips, he leaned his upper body against the steering wheel, letting his eyes wander over Lee Heewoo’s face.

She was a rare beauty.

Young and beautiful, innocent, and with a story to tell.

She had all the qualities that made her prone to being taken advantage of. If Cha Gyeol decided to have malicious intentions, she would be an easy target.

Despite saying she felt reassured, she slept so defenselessly. Had no shaman ever taught her that men were no different than dogs in heat?

Lee Heewoo briefly opened her eyes again, rolled them around to take in her surroundings, and then shut them tightly once more. Though the darkened room was dimly lit, Lee Heewoo, who had spent her life in the mountains, could see everything clearly.

Where was the guest who brought her to his house? Lee Heewoo tried hard to block out the whispering voices and distract herself with other thoughts.

She had felt safe when she was with the guest. But now, lying here, her face twisted in distress. Though this was the kind of life she’d endured for so long, just one—or maybe two—days of this new life had been so overwhelming that it shook her entire spirit.
