“This should do.”
Tae Sang handed her a white cotton Tshirt and light gray shorts.
Da Jeong, holding the clothes with both hands and slinging the shorts on her arm, held the Tshirt over her shoulders. The loose shortsleeved tee looked large enough to swallow her up at any moment.
Even though he had chosen the smallest size available.
Upon seeing her far more delicate shoulders than expected, Tae Sang let out a faint sigh of discomfort.
“Let’s look for something smaller.”
“Oh, no! I like to wear larger clothes when I sleep.”
Tae Sang scrutinized Da Jeong’s face with a suspicious expression. Instead of asking verbally, he seemed to constantly read signals from her actions or expressions, like a wild animal faithfully obeying its instincts.
Da Jeong shyly lowered her head to escape his gaze.
“Loose clothes are comfortable and nice. Don’t worry about it and go rest.”
Despite his slightly frowned dimples and the persisting sense of dissatisfaction, Tae Sang eventually removed his doubtful gaze.
“I have a meeting early in the morning.”
“A meeting…?”
“When you wake up, no one will be there.”
“Ah… Yes. Then, good night.”
“Sleep well.”
His soft baritone voice delivering the nightly greeting was sweet enough to melt one’s ears.
The soft sound of a closing door, the thumping sound of slippers dragging. After he left, many sounds knocked at her ear, but none of them could take away the profound aftertaste lingering in her ears.
In the dead of night, pitchblack darkness spread over her eyelids. An unidentified heat wrapped around her body like a snake. Da Jeong dimly opened her eyes in her unconsciousness.
The surroundings were all ablaze. The rippling red energy seemed like the shadow of an unknown beast and also like a dancing butterfly.
Da Jeong gasped and could barely move her fingertips. She tried to scream, but her throat was blocked and no sound came out, and her whole body was immobile as if paralyzed.
Meanwhile, the bright red shadow grew larger and approached closer. The moment her body was swallowed up, Da Jeong jerked her eyelids open.
“Haa, haa…!”
All she saw was a strange ceiling and pitchblack darkness. She exhaled heavily and felt a lot of sweat on her damp forehead. She still felt surrounded by a flaming blaze.
Da Jeong buried her head deep in the pillow with her hand on her forehead. Even though it was expected to fade by now, the nightmare from the past was becoming more vivid as time passed.
‘It’s okay. Hold my hand.’
In the midst of heavy panting filling her ears, suddenly, a familiar voice passed by.
It was a boy’s voice, soft and moderately low. A familiar voice that always came to mind after a nightmare. Recalling the brother who always held her hand with a stoic expression, it felt as if her breathing became smoother.
It was quite fascinating. That she still found comfort in that boy, whose face has now become blurred. Holding one side of her chest dearly, Da Jeong rose from her seat.
The digital clock on the desk displayed fourthirty.
Brushing her tousled hair, Da Jeong swung her legs out of the blanket. A pair of loose gray pants flapped out with her.
For a moment, the image of the everserious man came to mind, and a small laugh slipped out. Thinking back on how he brought these huge pants saying they would fit her, made her laugh.
Da Jeong slowly rose from her place and moved towards the door. She could no longer bear her burning thirst.
Squeak.
In her careful attempt to open the door, a more displeasing sound was made. Da Jeong moved as stealthily as a burglar cat. Every step she took, a tingling sensation was felt in her twisted ankle.
‘Why is the light……?’
Contrary to her expectation that it would be dark, the living room was brightly lit. Tae Sang might have forgotten to turn off the light and went into the room. That thought crossed her mind as she heard the clinking sound of glass while crossing the hallway.
Swallowing her dry spit, Da Jeong entered the living room. Then, Tae Sang, sitting at the end of the long sofa drinking wine alone, came into her view.
“……Deputy Director?”
Having not expected him to be in the living room, Da Jeong stood stiff in her spot.
“Why did you come out?”
“I was thirsty, so I was going to drink some water.”
Da Jeong pointed awkwardly at the kitchen as she spoke. Even though he was not asking her why she was wandering around, her tone sounded like she was making unnecessary excuses.
While looking at him as if waiting for some kind of permission, Tae Sang abruptly got up from his place. He took a few large strides and went into the kitchen.
It seemed like he was heading towards the shelf to fetch her water.
“Ah, I’ll do it.”
Late to react, Da Jeong hurriedly moved her legs to catch up with him. But it was too hard to catch up with his strides which were twice as long as hers.
Tae Sang opened one of the shelves in the middle of the kitchen. As if it was designed according to the height of the house owner, the spacious shelf was located quite high.
