DPUTC Ch 6

She couldn’t figure out why she was holding onto this guy, especially after he stole her first kiss, relying on some flimsy gut feeling. But Si-hyeon just went with what her heart told her.f52c8464f76d81ec

The subtle smile the guy gave after hearing her condition really bugged her. He tilted his head a few times, then replied, “What if you end up begging me to do it?”794dc6d5511bce0d

Even with her pushing, the guy remained chill. Just as her chest started to swell with impatience, he shrugged and advised, “Keep your options open, so you don’t regret it later.”3ad987bd81f3addb

When the “contract” was made, the guy, looking carefree, dropped a bombshell. “Oh, and the money is post-paid.”193518cbc1f1a925

Si-hyeon, who 9c12e28ac2 had already 824c1351b6 grabbed the 0797308fbb doorknob, turned f7c92a7a3f around in d663adbeae disbelief, but 9628bdc685 the guy 4317124f32 just smiled cc1ad7448e and walked 3aafdce839 past her.

It was one of those rare sunny days. The rain, which had been pouring for days like the sky had a hole in it, didn’t fall this morning. To enjoy the long-awaited sunshine, Si-hyeon paused what she was doing and looked up at the sunny sky.92ae1f2116944664

“It’s warm.”0425784d7e2a3cfc

A pleasant weariness made Si-hyeon’s body relax as if melting. The air had that characteristic stuffy feeling of summer, but she still thought it was nice. Thanks to the sun, Si-hyeon was able to do her backlog of towel laundry early in the morning. The clean scent of detergent wafting from all directions made her feel refreshed. Since she only had enough towels for a day or two, the sun was doubly welcome today. The weather forecast said there was only a 10% chance of rain late at night, so it probably wouldn’t suddenly pour during work.76e97e05aea2adcf

Hoping they would dry completely, she adjusted the drying rack to a sunny spot, and when she opened the front door, Si-hyeon mumbled as she checked the situation inside the house, “You’re up early.”e0029b184325dac2

For some reason, the guy was awake. Usually, he’d be asleep until she left for work. It had already been four days since she started living with the unidentified guy. She had lived in dorms before, so she was always living with strangers, not family. Each time, even if she wasn’t super close with her roommates, she managed to stay within reasonable boundaries. But living with this guy was a whole different level of discomfort.63e7a0012931d8af

As if reflecting her uncomfortable feelings, Si-hyeon couldn’t go inside and just stood there. In fact, he was also the reason why Si-hyeon ended up spending so much time outside while busy getting ready for work in the morning.083b4c5388e71fb1

The guy, who had woken up and was stretching his long neck, replied, “Yeah.”5ff7f45f07562b4b

A thick, tired voice, accompanied by the cold air pouring from the air conditioner, tickled her neck. The guy continued stretching even while she watched. Aside from his awkward posture, reaching the rooftop ceiling thanks to his height and long arms, the outline of his muscles openly changed beneath the basic T-shirt she’d bought him a few days ago every time he moved. His well-defined muscles repeatedly stretched and contracted along their grain. It looked like he was working out.02ac313b75261f1a

Si-hyeon, realizing her mistake, turned her head away as if she hadn’t seen anything, but it was too late. Her heart, caught peeking, strongly contracted and pounded at his deep teasing. Si-hyeon shrugged to pretend nothing happened. But it was foolish.57db80d630d95c7e

The guy latched onto her reaction. More than anything, she was painfully aware these days that she had overlooked the fact that he was a man. An adult man, not just a peer of the same sex. And still unidentified. Si-hyeon still didn’t know the guy’s identity. His name, age, background, or why he was found abandoned on the street that night. The day it was decided he would stay at her house, she did ask.d6d41d7925b9264a

Unlike his sharp words, the guy’s gaze briefly wandered to the ceiling as if thinking of something. He had clearly made up his name. But she couldn’t argue that he was lying. She had learned one important fact in just a few days.b75941394e70c5b3

‘This guy wouldn’t do anything according to Si-hyeon’s wishes unless it was to his liking.’ Asking more wouldn’t get her an answer, so digging for the truth was nothing but a waste of time. Si-hyeon, continuing her deliberation, asked one last question.27c3aa0352602401

She had no expectation that he would tell the truth. Even if the guy deliberately lied, she had no means to stop him. The guy thought for a moment, then leaned back on the sofa and calmly replied, “I slept with a married woman.”3ad2ad78965b4bfe

It went against her common sense. What reason could there possibly be to sleep with a married woman, and why would he get involved with a gangster? From her perspective, it was something out of a novel. Si-hyeon asked, her brows deeply furrowed, and the guy, conversely, replied as if he didn’t understand her.070829c36eb0f3c7

Si-hyeon, her worries proven 349c066d0d pointless, furrowed her brows. He seemed cfa3a997cf to want 12e72580e3 to say 3abb93afd9 it was 6f31ad564f because he 25177444fa was a 3d76485b6c gigolo. The guy then sealed 5eb93f2bbb the deal.d046bc705f703dea

Si-hyeon thought as he 5224738c88 spoke as if he ac28d1e8ff would offer free service,That’s the kind of person he must be. Looking at him, it didn’t seem like he would cherish fidelity or anything. He was the type to live life as he pleased, acting as he looked, the kind who wouldn’t be left alone by those around him, and he just enjoyed life that way.1bb27bfe51ed3ede

Also, the fact that he took her initial act of kindness as an invitation for sex, and didn’t he himself admit he was in the adult entertainment industry? When she first heard the word “gigolo,” she was incredibly confused, but now she pretty much accepted it all. His idea of accusing others of human trafficking, his situation of being dumped in the trash, his strikingly handsome yet rough-around-the-edges appearance, and the guy’s boasts that matched her imagination—everything fit.170870e254d2d6d3

Meanwhile, it seemed the guy was telling a few lies, but the truth of those lies wasn’t all that important in this situation. What if it was true, and what if it wasn’t? Si-hyeon, having summed up the guy’s impression as ‘Very instinctively living person. Caution advised,’ nodded her head.56f8ef10f89107f4

She had given up on serious conversations, but since they were living together, she couldn’t help but keep an eye on his every move. After all, she now saw him as a dangerous man, and his face, radiating vitality, was surprisingly powerful. The paleness that contrasted with his jet-black hair was gone, making him look like a completely different person. Even dressed in clothes bought cheaply from the market, he had an air about him, and even his small actions had the power to draw people’s attention. She found herself subconsciously tensing up from the subtle flirting he threw her way.14bf9bfd78ddc184

Si-hyeon, taking deep breaths to calm herself, asked to break his sly gaze, “Are you eating breakfast?”532847d150b8424f
