Chapter 2 Part 2
“You know. When I was young, I was reaaally popular among women.
Sex? I did it viciously. Dating two girls at once was nothing. My max was five
girls. Women are actually nothing. Reaally nothing. Once I really wanted to do
it, so I took a taxi to five different girls’ house in one night. I was doing
that for about a month, and one day I was coming out from one of my girlfriend’s
house, and my nose started to bleed. And then I realized, this is wasting my
life. I can’t live like this. So I went to the military.” (It’s mandatory for
average Korean men to go to military for two years.)
“….”
Taeyoung was quietly listening to Director Park’s drunk words.
This man was much weaker in drinking than he imagined. His eyes were already
closing, but his chopstick was never stopping.
“Strange thing is the military, all Korean men avoid,
suited me really well. I went to the navy. I was at Jinhae. All the seniors
were nice people. They even put choco pie next to my head while I was sleeping.
That place was unexpectedly full of kindness. Very kind and full of friendships.
Even the freshmen were keep checking up on me if I was tired. They even gave me
free massages. So I was even thinking of staying there forever. (You can actually
become a real soldier if you chose to.) But there was no woman. So I came
out.”
‘…..?’
Taeyoung slightly frowned. He doesn’t know why, but whenever he
talks with Director Park, there were some things that disturbs him little bit.
“So I became a civilian again, and one day I see this really nice
and cute lady. So I ate her right away. (Not literally) And a woman who became
my wife turns out to be in a French major, so she said she needed to go study
abroad to France. So I had no choice to follow her. My wife had some money, so
I went to college to learn French. As I told you before, that’s the place I met
Eugène. We were there about a year. And right about when I started to open my
ears little bit, this woman asked for a divorce. I lost my words and asked
her. Do you have another man? And she said yes. While we both were busy, she
had an affair with some white guy. I got so mad that I slapped her once. That
country police was so fast. I got arrested right away and stayed in jail for a
while. She said she didn’t do anything wrong, and I started to beat her for no
reason. Since I was in jail in that foreign country, I was really afraid and
scared, and I really wanted to go back to my country. It took only a second to
cool down my thousand year love. Haha.”
Director Park drank again. Taeyoung was just quietly listening to
his words.
“Huh? We already finished a bottle?”
“I didn’t drink it was only you.”
“Hehehe. Don’t worry. I have another bottle. Hear my story even if
you don’t want to. I even let you eat this expensive sliced raw halibut.”
Taeyoung really wanted to say ‘that expensive sliced raw halibut,
you ate it everything.’ But he didn’t say a word. He was curious what happened
next. Director Park took out another bottle from the refrigerator. And
continued his story scratching back of his head.
“Where did I leave off? Ah, I told you up to my wife cheating
right? So I divorced her as she wanted, and I came back to Korea and settled
down. I did have my time with women and experienced divorce, so I decided to
live as single. So I used all of my money that I got from my wife on drinking,
singing, and dancing. There were no ladies from Jangan-dong that didn’t go
through me. That was my golden time.”
‘You said you went to the military because you played with women
too much. There is nothing changed.’
Taeyoung only said it in his mind. It seems like he was going to
continue with his life story.
“So years passed and I was already in my mid 30s. Almost none of
my friends were single anymore, and guys who got married fast were already
parents. On mother/father’s day they had cards saying mom, dad I love you. And
seeing that made me really envious. There was no one to greet me at home, and I
did not have any saved money. Then I realized the importance of family.”
He sighed deeply. Bitter alcohol smell came along with it.
“So I went to blind dates and got introduced ladies from my
friends, but strangely I wasn’t popular as before. Still I decided to look for
a wife. A person who would make my bland life into a life with a soy sauce….”
“…..”
“Giving birth to my child….and saving money together. I need that
kind of kind and nice woman.”
After saying those words, I collapsed right away. One and a half
bottle of soju. That was his limit. Taeyoung hold his face while he was
collapsing. His face was pretty warm. And it felt like his hands were getting
warm too. He murmured while he was holding Director Park’s head.
“Falling…asleep while somebody is here… Who’s gonna clean this up
now?”
“Haaaah~”
Director Park sighed deeply. On his red face one single drop
of tear fell. After hearing his story, Taeyoung realized why he has this
kind of personality.
When he was young, he had this pretty face, so he was able get many women. But losing all of his money and spending long time with
hostesses made him lose all of his respect to women and lose all of his
thinking them as equal human.
After losing the marriage, he started to fear women and wanted to
start a family, but he realized he’s not capable of having a family. So he
became weird.
“But still…. That kind of attitude is problem of yours.”
Taeyoung sighed deeply. He drank his soju cup at once and finished
the dish that only had one or two slices left. It kind of lost its texture
because it was out for too long. Taeyoung dragged Director Park to his room. At
first he was kind of nervous, so he didn’t realized how dirty this house was.
The pants that was dragging on the floor was stained with dusts. It was hard
for Taeyoung who likes clean and neat things.
Dragging this heavy body to his room was hard, and it was harder
to put him on the bed. He dragged Director Park on a dirty blankets that he has
no idea when he last washed them. It’s not funny when you carry a middle
age drunk man. After a while wrestle with him, he was finally able to put him
down.
“Seriously…. Tell me where you put your umbrella.”
Taeyoung murmured to this drunk Director Park. Outside was still
loud from rain drops. No, actually it was getting worse. The thunder sound was
getting louder and louder.
“I…I don’t have any other cho..choice then to sleep here!”
(Hmmmm…really?)
Because of the awkwardness, he shouted at him, but only thing he
get return was a slow breathing sound. He glared at Director Park who was
sleeping soundly, and walked toward to the closet to take out blankets. But as
soon as he opened the closet, only thing he smelled was old widower smell and old
clothes and underwear.
“Ah, ahhhhh!”
Taeyoung screamed like he was having a convulsion. He
seriously got some goose bumps. He took a boxer off from his face. The closet
was a total mess. Every blankets, clothes, suits, and underwear were all
tangled together. He seriously could not use that blanket and sleep there even
if he dies. The mattress and the blanket that Director Park was using was the
cleanest thing in this household.
“Shit.”
He seriously felt like he’s doing something wrong. He stiffly went
next to Director Park’s side. He quietly turned off the light. A pale blue
lightening came in through the window.
“I’m going to lie down next to you. Okay?”
He asked loudly lying next to Director Park, but still there was
no reply. He stiffly lie down on the bed and suddenly there was this thick
leg came right on top of him. He swallowed the pain. An adult’s leg coming down
with some speed really gave him some damage.
While he was just lying down with Director Park’s leg on his
chest, he felt some kind of strange cloth. He looked down and saw the apron
that Director Park was wearing while he was cooking. Design with two carrots
and pink polka dot apron. The thing really didn’t suit him…
‘Wait, he’ll be uncomfortable wearing this while he sleeps.’
After thinking that, he stood up. Somehow he felt thirsty. His
heart was beating fast even though he wasn’t drunk. Strangely feeling thirsty
and stuffy in his chest, he probably got hit somewhere wrong because of his
leg.
“Director Park, I’m going to take off your clothes. Okay?”
Taeyoung lightly shook sleeping Director Park. But he didn’t have
any reaction. He whispered to his ear.
“Director Park, I’m going to take it off. Okay?”
Still there was no reaction, instead he got annoyed with
him, so he turned away from Taeyoung.
“Okay. Then I’ll take them off.”
Nobody gave him the permission, but Taeyoung slowly took off his
clothes. Because he was lying down on his stomach, he had to lean his chest on
his back. Quietly trying not to wake him up, he put his right hand between his
thighs. He felt something thick on his hand. Taeyoung licked his lips and swallowed his saliva.
“I need to take these pants off so….”
He pulled down the zipper, and the zipper went down. The sound of
zipper filled the whole room. He never heard the zipper sound this loud.
Probably it’s because his suit pants were cheap. Somehow he felt strange, so
with his left hand he touched his ear. He felt his pulse pumping fast in his
ear.
“Seriously…. Please wear something nicer.”
After he opened the zipper, he unbuckled Director Park's belt. Unlike the zipper
that he only had to use his one hand, he had to use his both hands to open this
belt. His hands hesitantly approached his groin. Now he completely looked like
he was hugging him from the back. He felt something thick between his legs…
and felt this hard button on the pants. Taeyoung was shaking his head. His
pulse was getting faster and faster. He was also breathing faster. He tried to
separate the button and the button hole. But besides making this rattling
sound, the button did not get undone. His hands were keep slipping and
ended up keep touching Director Park’s penis.
Director Park probably felt hot because they were too close to
each other. He moaned and tried to move away. The room temperature was pretty cool due to the rain outside, but Taeyoung was sweating a lot for some reason. All
the sweat that he produced made Director Park’s clothes wet.
