MS Ch 7 part 3
by AnonAnemoneI just have to deal with it.
Just as Moonju said, the situation was very bitter.
Ki Taeju was hateful and suspicious. She felt sad, and this made her feel confused. But Euncho had to continue to come to the executive room every single day to clean the room.

This was one of the major changes in her duties, and because of this, her salary had increased.
Ki Taeju spent more time outside the hotel than not. Therefore, the person who enjoyed the EFL was his companion, Kang Seora.

Kang Seora threw grand parties in the room almost every night, so when Euncho came in the morning, the room was quite a sight. Today was no different. When she saw the mountain of liquor bottles and miscellaneous items on the table, she clutched her forehead.
I want to go home…

She barely managed to console herself and diligently walked further inside.
She moved the liquor bottles to one side, collected the various lids and trash that had been strewn about, and wiped down the damp tables with a dry towel.

“Huh?”
Something had gathered into a pile when she swept the towel across the table.

It was a white powder.
Now that she had a closer look, she could see traces of this powder all over the table.

‘What is this…?’
Euncho touched it and rubbed it between her fingers. She froze. No way. She slowly began to bring her fingers to her nose.

“Ah!”
Before she could bring her fingers to her nose or mouth, a hand shot out from her side and grabbed her hand.

Startled by the sudden appearance, her eyes widened in shock.
“…Ugh.”

The next surprise came in the form of something damp that drenched her fingers which were covered in white powder.
Ki Taeju, whose presence she had not noticed, suddenly appeared and tilted a water bottle over Euncho’s hands. As if that wasn’t enough, he repeatedly rubbed his large palm over her fingers that had touched the white powder.

“It seems that my employee is quite curious.”
“……”

“These days, if you carelessly touch something like this, you’ll get into trouble.”
Euncho was dumbfounded.

Her dazed eyes were glued to Ki Taeju, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Her nerves were fixed on the way he stubbornly rubbed her fingers. Then her attention was drawn to the water pouring into the fluffy carpet.
Who’s going to clean this?

Me, that’s who.
She forced her professional brain to wake up.

Euncho grabbed the tilted water bottle and straightened it back up. But that didn’t mean the wetness went away. The way his wet fingers felt under her own made his touch feel even more pronounced.
His intention must have been to wash the white powder off her fingers, and if it was, then he had succeeded. She could no longer feel the rough texture of the powder on her fingers.

Even though Ki Taeju would have known this, he was still holding her hand. He was so intent on washing her hands that his fingers were now in between hers. As soon as she realized this, the air between them grew thick.
Euncho quickly snatched her hand back from his.

“Ah, I planned on drinking this.”
Even though his hand had been pushed away, his voice remained calm.

The way he simply brushed off the fact that they had held hands as if it were nothing bothered Euncho. He perched himself on the armrest of the sofa in front of the table and spoke.
“Bring me a new one.”

Ha. A scoff escaped her lips.
He’s the person who gives me money. He’s the person who gives me money…

Euncho gritted her teeth and turned around. She walked to the minibar across the room. She pulled out a bottle of cold water and brought it to him.
Why does this man always want water when he sees me?

With that thought, she stretched out her hand. Suddenly, she froze.
For a brief moment, she recalled a memory that had taken over her mind like a ghost. It was the memory of the time she handed him a glass of water through the small kitchen window that only showed his upper body.

‘Euncho.’
As soon as the memory of the villa disappeared, a sweet and gentle voice tickled her ears.

Euncho absentmindedly dropped the bottle of water. It fell to the floor and rolled towards him before stopping at his feet. He bent down and picked it up. He didn’t seem displeased. As if he were happy the water had gotten to him in some way or another.
No, far from being displeased…

“Are you that happy to see me?”
His languid tone broke her out of her thoughts.

He kept his eyes on Euncho as he opened the bottle. As if he could see all the chaos swirling in her head, his gaze was intense.
He tilted the bottle. After he sufficiently quenched his thirst, he leaned back. His faint smile twisted her insides, and his moist lips opened.

“How have you been doing?”
As the sudden hallucinations of Heejin-unnie faded away, the man’s voice became clearer. It felt as if that summer from the past was belatedly intersecting the real and the fake.

It bothered her.
No, everything did.

How could he show up so brazenly after disappearing without a trace? And why did he have to come to a place where she worked as a guest? She couldn’t avoid him even if she wanted to. And he did not even show up alone. How could he bring a woman who was probably sleeping in that bedroom over there?
Right now… He was acting as if their seven years of separation meant nothing.

She didn’t know much, but one thing was certain.
She hated him.

Many emotions were churning inside her, but the strongest one was hatred.
Euncho clenched her fists and glared at Ki Taeju. Ki Taeju calmly received the resentful gaze as he drank the rest of his water.

When she saw this attitude, Euncho knew what to do.
She pretended not to hear anything and moved to the table as she finished cleaning up. She decided not to concern herself with him as a way to make up for the seven years she had been ignored.

Do you think you’re the only one who can act as you please? I can do it too.
Euncho suppressed her raging emotions and kept her expression indifferent.

She felt goosebumps creeping on her skin as she felt his eyes follow her every move, but she ignored it. Then he sat down on the sofa and blatantly stared at her.
Has he gone crazy?

Every single movement of his was like a bomb being dropped inside her heart. The only way she was able to hide it was through her four years of experience in the service industry.
Euncho quietly stared at the table and diligently moved her hands.

She wanted to coldly ignore him, but she couldn’t ignore him when he called her with such a formal tone. She answered back in a stiff, professional tone, and Ki Taeju flashed her a faint smile.
The man leaned against the back of the sofa and asked her in an allusive voice.

Something flew in front of her eyes.
She reflexively glanced at it and saw that it was the bottle cap he had been fiddling with in his hand a moment ago. He was really using all sorts of methods to get on her nerves.

“It’s not like there isn’t any affection between us.”
“……”

“Physical intimacy is a damn scary thing.”
Euncho threw the bottlecap into the trash bag. Then she heard him laugh again.

“Judging from your silence, it seems that you agree with me.”
“……”

“Makes sense. You’ve gotten prettier, so I’m sure all sorts of idiots are trying to stick to you.”
Euncho tied the opening of the trash bag into a tight knot. She loudly dusted off her hands and got up from her knees. She wanted to act indifferently just like him. However, perhaps due to the tension in her body, her limbs began to ache.

“Now that I’ve finished cleaning, I’ll be taking my leave.”
She tried to turn around right away. However, an arm grabbed her wrist before she had the chance. Its hold was quite domineering, but it was strangely gentle. As if he were trying to tell her not to be nervous because he didn’t mean her any harm.

“Thank you.”
Something pressed down on the back of her hand.

It was Ki Taeju’s lips.
The distance she had tried so hard to keep between them was suddenly broken. She flinched at his lingering touch.

“Consider this your tip.”
Once he lightheartedly pulled away, Euncho could finally breathe.

Even though his lips were no longer touching her skin, the back of her hand felt hot as if they were still there. Since he pulled away just like she wanted, she could finally leave the room.
However, Euncho felt a surge of rage. She felt like she was being played with.

What? Her tip?
“A tip must be given in the form of money, sir.”

She glared at him and blurted out her remark in a taunting tone as if she were sneering at him for not knowing this. Ki Taeju’s eyes slightly widened. A few moments later, he grinned.
Even his smile was familiar. It was the same smile he’d give her whenever he couldn’t hide his childish nature. A smile he made when he found something to be absurd.

He got up and turned around for a moment before coming back. He was holding his wallet in his hand. Even in this situation, Euncho felt a bit of shame for recognizing the fact that his wallet was still the same as the one from several years ago.
“How much?”

“……”
“How much do you want? Name your price.”

She wondered why she’d even said it in the first place. It had thrown a wrench in her plans. Nevertheless, the man’s relaxed response calmed her anxiously racing heart.
She felt like her brain was going numb once again. What in the world am I doing right now…

“…Never mind, sir. I was just joking. I’m happy to clean as it is my job. I’ll be leaving now.”
Euncho bowed as he stood still with his wallet open. She was about to turn around and leave as she’d said when her wrist was grabbed once again. His grasp wasn’t firm, but it did feel more frantic than before, so Euncho’s body slightly lurched back.

“Then take it all.”
Ki Taeju grabbed her hand and handed her the wallet. Euncho dazedly looked back and forth between the man in front of her and the wallet in her hand.

Should she just throw it away?
For a brief moment, the childish side of her that he knew so well reared its head.

But she didn’t want to do that.
Even if she could peer inside this man, there was nothing good he could offer. Seven years of enduring the consequences of his low-grade trickery was enough. He had disguised who he really was for a summer and then disappeared without a trace. But now he was brazenly appearing before her again. Euncho was being proven time and time again what kind of person she was to him.

I’m more or less a joke to him.
I’m sure this is a joke too.

This is just a continuation of that joke.
Euncho clenched the wallet. Then she turned around. As she walked to the door, she could clearly feel Ki Taeju’s gaze on her as he remained standing in his spot.

Before opening the door, Euncho put the wallet down on the table nearby as if she were making a point.
And then, without looking back, she exited the room.

Euncho’s mind was blank. She felt as if she were reliving the moment when she had first encountered Ki Taeju in front of the bathtub after not seeing him for several years.
‘Euncho. My pretty Euncho.’

As she walked down the hallway, her head blank, Heejin-unnie’s voice broke through the vacuum and surged inside her mind.
Another season. The summer she thought she had barely left behind was now making a resurgence in her life.
