Chapter 49: Going Out -2
At about 40 minutes of driving, we arrived at our vacation spot.
I do not even understand how I received right here.
I used to be simply driving absentmindedly, and earlier than I knew it, we had arrived.
Scratch it, and also you’re screwed.
With simply that one thought in thoughts, I could not care much less about issues just like the exhilarating pace or the exhaust noise that made my entire physique tremble.
Regardless of how briskly my coronary heart was beating, regardless of driving rigorously, nervousness surged as I received out of the automobile, and the very first thing I did was to verify the situation of the automobile.
“The wheels are high quality, the bumper is ok”
After meticulously checking each nook, Dokyun lastly breathed a sigh of reduction when he confirmed that there wasn’t even a scratch on the automobile.
“Phew”
‘I assumed I used to be a gone.’
This automobile is irreplaceable even when he promote all my organs.
Insurance coverage could cowl it, however he did not have the arrogance to pay for repairs if the proprietor of this automobile demanded it from me.
Maybe, he would have needed to promote all his organs or resort to borrowing cash from mortgage sharks.
As soon as once more, he breathed a sigh of reduction, his nervousness dissipating.
As Dokgyun exhaled in reduction, Eunseol’s voice got here from forward.
“Cease chattering and are available.”
Dokgyun turned his head in direction of her with a disgruntled expression upon listening to her voice.
Seeing her perspective, which appeared to point that it wasn’t her concern or that she had no real interest in the situation of the automobile, made him boil inside.
And there.
“Wasn’t she asleep?”
Earlier than arriving right here, when he glanced at her to verify, she was undoubtedly asleep together with her eyes closed.
Excited about how comfortably she was sleeping made him really feel extremely bitter.
“Come on.”
Her urging got here once more.
His fists clenched tightly, however Dokgyun pressured a smile on his face and replied with as energetic a tone as attainable.
“Let’s go!”
Ah, it is driving me loopy.
Instantly after, as he strode over to face beside her, he felt one thing totally different from ordinary.
It was a trivial discomfort, however when he looked for the explanation behind the oddly irritating feeling, the reply turned clear.
“It is her peak.”
She appeared taller than ordinary.
“The peak that could not attain my shoulders now has grown sufficient to cowl my chin.”
As Dokyun scanned her with a somber temper, he lastly understood the explanation.
“Why are the heels so excessive?”
The heels of her footwear had been fairly excessive.
Would not her toes damage like that?
As Dokyun checked out her with a grim temper, he heard swearing from her proper after.
“What the hell are you ?”
A significantly tough tone.
As he raised his head, he noticed a face obvious at him with a deeply furrowed expression.
Dokyun calmed his barely startled coronary heart at that expression and compelled a smile earlier than talking.
“Oh, nothing. I simply observed how excessive the heels are.”
Pause.
Instantly, her physique trembled at Dokyun’s phrases.
Seeing Dokyun’s puzzled expression, she grimaced once more and swore at him.
“Cease staring and comply with me. There’s quite a bit to do.”
After saying that and transferring ahead, Dokyun lastly realized why she was appearing so hostile.
“Oh, it is a complicated about being quick.”
He discovered a weak spot.
Although his lips twitched on the thought, he suppressed them, realizing that choosing a combat over this would possibly solely end in him getting overwhelmed up, and straightened his lips earlier than chasing after her.
“Let’s simply go!”
Truthfully, these eyes had been just a little intimidating.
***
As he opened the door, the tinkling of bells may very well be heard, together with the welcoming greeting from the workers.
“Welcome~.”
Responding casually to the greeting, Dokyun appeared round and observed that regardless of it being a weekday afternoon, there have been fairly just a few individuals seated.
Feeling a bit excited by the scent of individuals he hadn’t been round for some time, Dokyun approached the counter and ordered a cup of espresso. As he settled by the window, he started to recall what he wanted to do.
Firstly, he wanted to contact individuals round him and tidy up his environment, as she had urged.
After ending his ideas, Dokyun took out his smartphone, turned it on, and was greeted by a well-known wallpaper, adopted by the house display.
The sight of the grey wallpaper and the icons organized on it introduced a way of nostalgia, inflicting a slight flutter in his chest.
Misplaced in contemplation, as he was about to delve into his telephone, a sudden groan escaped from Dokyun’s lips.
“Ugh”
Maybe it was as a result of it had been practically two weeks since he final touched it, however urgent the display felt oddly unfamiliar.
It felt like he could not management the energy correctly. Although he pressed gently, his finger felt awkward because it pushed down onto the display.
“That is driving me loopy.”
It felt like turning into a primitive man encountering civilization for the primary time.
Feeling a momentary disappointment at how awkward it felt regardless of being away for just a few weeks, Dokyun’s physique shortly tailored to the acquainted sensation, erasing the discomfort, and he opened his contacts.
Shortly after, as he scrolled by means of his contacts, Dokyun immediately discovered himself chuckling.
“The contacts I obtained”
His mother and father, his squad chief, his boss, three associates.
Regardless of having disappeared for 2 weeks, he puzzled why there weren’t extra contacts, feeling a touch of melancholy.
“However then once more, I am not the one who often reaches out first.”
Rapidly dismissing the sensation as he recalled his ordinary conduct, Dokyun started making calls to the contacts that had reached out to him.
Whereas it felt like an extended look forward to him, it appeared like solely a short while had handed in society. The voices on the opposite finish of the road had been full of extra pleasure than fear.
His mother and father had been doing effectively, and Porong appeared to have simply been neutered. Myungdae was nonetheless complaining from the primary phrase of the decision, and his boss managed to wrangle a ingesting appointment out of him.
Going through the time and folks he thought he would possibly by no means get well, there was a slight lump in his throat, nevertheless it was a sense full of laughter, which made him gladly increase his head, regardless of the slight melancholy creeping in.
After some time, Dokyun ended the decision along with his final pal, shortly conveying solely the required info, and eventually took a breath, shifting his gaze to stare blankly out the window.
“Now what?”
Contacts had been additionally achieved. In all probability there would not be any issues associated to this for some time.
There was nothing else to cope with.
Actually, checking out the individuals round him was over.
As he sat blankly for a second, recalling how he often spent his free time, Dokyun’s eyes widened.
“Wait a second.”
He was alone now. His smartphone was in his hand. Maybe there was nonetheless fairly a while till she arrived.
His gaze, which had been directed out the window, twitched with a sudden motion in direction of his hand.
“This Is it time to learn a novel?”
The thought occurred, and earlier than his thoughts may grasp it, his physique started to react.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
His coronary heart pounded fiercely. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyebrows trembled.
“Come to consider it”
For about two weeks, he, who had not skipped a single day of studying novels, hadn’t learn an internet novel for nearly two weeks.
That meant
The piled-up novels had been ready.
“Huh!”
A groan escaped involuntarily. A sensation akin to piercing by means of his backbone.
“Ah”
The tremble did not stop.
Now was the time for catastrophic ecstasy, in cafes, outside, publicly.
“I can do it Cannot I?”
Goosebumps ran by means of his entire physique. A nice sensation stemming not from worry however from exhilaration.
The earlier sentimental resonance vanished with out a hint, and a primitive pleasure started to envelop him thickly.
His fingers moved involuntarily, urgent the gold-winged icon that had been floating impatiently on the display.
After which, the display appeared.
“Let’s go Let’s go!”
Releasing the lips that had turn into uncontrollable, Dokyun, who had been staring on the major banner floating on the display, felt his suppressed essence awakening.
Now was the time to endure the lengthy interval of humiliation and struggling and return to being the ‘Simhae Bee.’
