Obsession

Chapter 3

Part 1

“Ahh! Ah, ah, yea! Haa!”

Hee-young, lying face down on the damp mat, clutched the thin mat tightly and panted for breath. Her hair that had flowed down stuck to her sweaty face, making a mess. She lifted her buttocks and pressed her flushed face against the damp mat, and all she could do was scream.

The tight cock was still thrusting into the hole that was already covered in the man’s cum without stopping. Every time the fierce cock thrust into me, my hole opened wide, and I was nothing but a shameless victim of lust. Spreading her legs for the man, Hee-young realized that she was truly nothing.

Up until now, I had believed that I was different from the women selling their bodies here. I thought that I would run away from here someday, and that I was different from those women who sell their bodies for a ten-thousand won bill.

But now I know that I am no different from those women. I spread my legs for money, and more than anything, my body collapses without any resistance in front of this man’s penis.

Watching the man unbuckle and unzip, my mouth waters and my pussy inside my panties starts to tingle. As the glans slowly rubs against my thigh, my throbbing hole starts to get wet on its own.

“How did you hold back from wanting to chew on it all day?”

The man who had been holding Heeyoung’s waist and thrusting his penis into her mouth bends down and whispers in her ear.

“Hey, stop talking about weird things. Aah! Huah!”

Hee-young, who was about to protest with a red face, ended up screaming and unable to finish her sentence.

“Ha! Ah! Ah!”

Every time he thrust from behind her, Heeyoung’s nipples swayed forward and rubbed against the pillow. Hot breath covered Heeyoung’s shoulders and the back of her neck. The strong smell of cigarette smoke made her dizzy.

“Aren’t you going crazy after tasting it?”

This guy is right. She’s going crazy right now.

“Don’t spread your legs like this anywhere else.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

No matter what the man says, Hee-young was in no mood to think about anything else right now.

“Your pussy is mine, and I’m going to use it only until I get sick of it and throw it away. If you fuck some other bastard, I’ll cut his dick off and hang it around your neck, do you understand? Do you understand?”

Heeyoung nodded without even knowing what the man was saying.

“I don’t have any interest in fucking around with other women, so don’t let other guys see your pussy while I’m using it. I might gouge out the eyes of all those who see your pussy.”

I have no intention of doing this to another man. I am not a prostitute who sells my body here and there.

Yeah, she’s not a prostitute.

The only thing that keeps Hee-young going now is the thought that she is not a prostitute even if she dies soon. Because the moment she admits that she is a prostitute, everything will come crashing down.

That was when.

Ring ring ring ring.

The man stopped his rough movements at the sound of a bell suddenly ringing.

“Shit! Who is it now?”

As the man pulled back, irritated, Hee-young’s body fell down with a thud. As the penis blocking the hole was pulled out, semen flowed out between Hee-young’s legs like water flowing from a bottle with the cork removed.

“You found that kid?”

The man’s voice became harsh as he reached for his cell phone in his pocket and answered the call.

“Hold on to him. I’ll be coming there now.”

The man who hung up the phone glanced at Heeyoung.

“Get dressed and eat something. I’ll be back soon.”

“Where are you going all of a sudden?”

No. Where are you going? Hee-young sat up awkwardly, while being embarrassed.

“Something urgent came up. It’ll take a couple of hours, so eat something until then. You’ll need to eat a lot if you’re going to be up all night, my dear.”

A man dressed in a suit tries to go out, but instead sits down in front of Hee-young and pats her cheek.

“You said you wanted to get out of here, right?”

“Yes?”

“You told me it was disgusting here.”

“Yes…….”

“Should I let you out?”

“Huh? Uh, how will you do that?”

“Stop taking money for this and just start a family with me.”

“Yes?”

Hee-young’s eyes widened at the unexpected words. Let’s start a family? That means she should become this man’s wife.

“I’ll be back soon, so why don’t you come with me then? Is that okay with you?”

“But, let me think about it.”

“What are you going to think about? Tell them you’re quitting your current job right now. Let’s get things sorted out and leave.”

“How could you do that so suddenly… … .”

“Be ready, before I come back.”

The man went out without even listening to Hee-young’s answer.

‘What the heck. He is doing whatever he wants… … .’

Hee-young crawled to the corner, soaked a towel in the water in the basin, and wiped her legs. She wanted to go out and wash properly, but to do that, she had to listen to all the nagging, not-so-nagging, from her [aunts].

Heeyoung didn’t like that.

I already know that the way those aunts look at me has changed since I started sleeping with the man in this room. Those aunts always flirted with this man named Lee Jong-woo, but when he didn’t fall for it, they talked among themselves about it. Every night, they heard me having sex with this man, and that made them feel uncomfortable. So whenever I did something, they would nag me with their uncomfortable and twisted feelings.

Hee-young now feels uncomfortable leaving her room when those aunts see her, because they keep spouting off things like, “I knew this would happen,” “You acted so noble, but in the end, you’re the same,” and “I’ll introduce you to another guest.”

Even if it feels awkward now, it’s better to just wipe it like this and then wash it later in the morning when everyone is asleep and it’s quiet.

‘What kind of call is this that you’re leaving without doing anything?’

Clearly, that guy has something to hide.

‘It’s none of my business. But anyway, living… … .’

I never thought that guy would ask me to live with him.

‘I only know his name, but I don’t even know what he does. How can we live together?’

My wish is to get out of this cesspool, but if I make a mistake, I might end up in an even worse cesspool.

‘Let’s say no. I’ll just take the money and leave here. I don’t want to live with someone like that and end up in a worse situation.’

Even as she put on her clothes, Hee-young couldn’t shake off what the man had said to her. She thought it was nonsense, but she couldn’t shake it off easily.

‘It’s true that I received help, but… … .’

It is an undeniable fact that I received help from that man. If it weren’t for that man at that time, I would have been helpless and taken advantage of by the drunken customer. At that time, when no one helped me, that man was the only one who helped me.

The sex is not bad, and he has a lot of money. Above all, he is a man who is bad-mouthed but treats me well. If I don’t think too deeply about it, I know that living with a man like that is the fastest way to get out of here. However, there is always a trap hidden in things that seem sweet.

He’s a man who lives in hiding. If she has to live in hiding too, then what’s the difference between that life and her current life?

It was then that Hee-young, who was about to go out after getting dressed, discovered a bag in the corner. The bag, which was usually not visible, was placed in the corner as if it were nothing.

Hee-young came to this room every day. After work, she would come straight here, eat together with him, and start having sex, which would last until midnight. Then, in the morning, she would drag her tired body back to work. So she knew very well what was in this room.

But that bag is one I hadn’t seen until yesterday.

‘What is that?’

Heeyoung went to the corner and unzipped that bag.

‘I guess its money… …!’

Heeyoung opened the zipper of that bag and was startled.

The bag was actually full of money.

Hee-young quickly turned around to see the bag filled with ten-thousand won bills.

‘There are still two hours left before that person returns… … .’

My mouth is watering. How much money could this be? Is there anyone who doesn’t turn their eyes in front of money? Hee-young’s hands were shaking as she reaches into that bag and takes out a wad of bills. She keeps looking around, worried that someone might shout “Thief!” from behind her.

‘If only I had this money… … .’

How many times would I have to sleep with that guy to save up this much money with the million won I get from sleeping with him once? How long would I have to work to save up this much money with my monthly salary? This is the money that I can’t even dare to save.

‘If I just have this money, I can get out of here.’

Heeyoung quickly put the money back in, zipped up the bag, and went outside with the bag.

The night inn is always noisy and rowdy.

“Heeyoung. What is that?”

When the aunt in the room across from her, who hadn’t received any guests yet, pretended to recognize her, Hee-young quickly answered.

“Laundry. The old man asked me to do some laundry because he has a lot of laundry.”

“What kind of laundry is that? By the way, Hee-young. Is that guy’s dick any good?”

“No, I don’t know.”

Heeyoung, who had quickly entered her room, stopped as she was about to pack her things.

‘Let’s just throw everything away and go.’

There is nothing to take from this room. It is all just trash. If you want to end this life and start a new one, you have to throw everything away. Hee-young fiddled with her mother’s notebook and put it back. She is going to throw this away too. She will not take any traces of her mother with her.

Hee-young, who had only taken her ID, wallet, and bankbook, put the money bag back on her back and went outside. Then she opened the rusty green iron door of the noisy inn and left the alley without looking back.

The man had long since been forgotten in her mind.

* * *

Click.

Hee-young opened the door weakly and went into the narrow room, where she lay down on the floor with an exhausted body. This narrow room, which was about 6.5 square meters, was the only space where Hee-young could relax.

‘It’s hard…….’

Hee-young curled up in the cold air. This small room was so hot in the summer that she wanted to die, and so cold in the winter that it felt like there was no place colder than this.

The place where Hee-young lives is the cheapest in the area. There is no deposit, and you only have to pay 150,000 won a month, and rice and kimchi are provided as much as you want. You probably won’t find a place like this easily. You just have to put up with the communal shower and toilet. In fact, that’s nothing to Hee-young. The inn where she lived before was similar to this.

‘I am hungry…….’

Hee-young, who had been lying down as if she had collapsed, staggered up and changed her clothes.

I have to eat something. Heeyoung took out a cup of ramen she had bought on her way back from her bag and went out of her room to the communal kitchen. There was a gas range, a microwave, an electric kettle to boil water, a rice cooker, and a refrigerator in the communal kitchen.

There was only one kimchi in the refrigerator, but I can’t tell how lucky I am to be able to eat kimchi for free. While waiting for the water to boil, Heeyoung generously put rice in a small bowl. At that moment, someone came in from behind.

“Are you eating ramen?”

She’s the woman who lives next door. She’s the same age as Hee-young and her name is Han Ji-ae. I heard she’s preparing for the college entrance exam.

This woman, who failed to get into college last year and is now living in a gosiwon, the place as her, was preparing for her college entrance exams again, she resembles Hee-young in the fact that she does not have any family like her.

“Would you like to eat this?”

What Ji-ae handed to Hee-young was a can of tuna.

“I bought two.”

“… … .”

I just stared blankly at the can of tuna that was held out to me and couldn’t easily accept it. Should I accept this? Even if I did, I didn’t have anything to give back to her.

“Its my treat.”

Ji-ae laughed brightly.

“Yes?”

“I got into college today.”

“Ah… … congratulations.”

Hee-young congratulated her in a flustered manner. Ji-ae’s face looked very happy.

“I got into the university I really wanted to go to. And I’ll be living in a dorm, so this is goodbye for now.”

“I hope everything goes well with you.”

“Actually I got a scholarship because my grades were good. I got a scholarship and the dorm was free, so I feel like my hard work was worth it.”

Hee-young couldn’t hide her envy as she listened to Ji-ae’s words.

I wanted to go to college. Actually, when I came to Seoul, I planned to study and go to college. But I couldn’t do that. I got scammed.

I was stupid. It was foolish to trust a real estate agent, and it was the most stupid thing to trust a person who called himself as the landlord. But I had never signed a contract for a house before, so I couldn’t help it.

I thought I could trust a real estate agent who had set up an office officially. [A good house for cheap price] The real estate agent introduced a villa to Hee-young, and in Hee-young’s eyes, the villa was perfect.

It was old, but it was spacious and clean. So I hastily signed the contract with the money I had. The money in my bag was 160 million won, and the villa was exactly 160 million won. So I signed the contract for the villa with all the money I had.

I thought I would be able to move into that house soon. Until then, Hee-young didn’t know what a [mortgage] was. She didn’t know that the landlord had taken out a loan worth hundreds of millions of won by mortgaging the villa, and she didn’t know that the bank had the priority ownership of the villa that she had contracted.

I lost all my money like that. The real estate agent denied knowing anything and the landlord didn’t answer my phone. I had no one to go to and complain and I didn’t know where to go. I was scared of the police.

After blowing all my money and going from one sauna to another for about a month, I finally found this gosiwon. I eat and slept in this gosiwon and did cleaning work during the day.

I tried to escape from that horrible place by stealing the man’s money and running away, but in the end, I ended up back in this place. I kept feeling like I was stuck in a swamp and couldn’t get out.

“Instead of eating ramen, should we go out and eat jajangmyeon? I’ll buy it for you.”

Hee-young was embarrassed by Ji-ae’s words.

“It’s okay. The water is boiling… … .”

“No, let’s go out and eat. On a day like today, I want to eat jajangmyeon, but it’s a bit much to go out and eat alone. Let’s eat together.”

“Then I’ll pay for mine.”

“I’ll buy it. I want to give treat today, but I don’t know anyone here… … You’ll let me buy it, right?”

Ji-ae’s smiling face was dazzling.

I have never laughed like this before.
