Chapter 85: Broken Film 1
When I came to my senses, there was a woman lying next to me.
I could hear soft breathing sounds, as if she was asleep.
New breath... new breath...
I carefully confirmed the woman's face so as not to wake her. The lights were off, making it dark, but since she was right next to me, I could at least see her face.
'Sister Soo-hee...?'
The woman lying next to me was none other than Lim Soo-hee.
Why was Lim Soo-hee lying in the same bed as me? This place seemed to be a motel, of all places.
'Did we... do it?'
There was no other reason I could think of for a man and woman to be lying in the same bed. I briefly considered the possibility that she had brought me here because my memory was fragmented, but my clothes were taken off for that to be the case.
'My clothes... are on the floor.'
Looking at the clothes on the floor, there was no particular foreign substance like vomit on them. The feeling in my lower half suggested that I had actually done it.
'Damn. This is so unfair?'
There was nothing wrong with doing it with Lim Soo-hee. Adult men and women can do such things if they're in sync while drinking. I had become quite open-minded by now.
The problem was that I couldn't remember any of the process. All I could recall was drinking heavily at the gamja-tang restaurant until nearly dead.
What was the circumstance that led to this?
What kind of conversation did we have in the process?
I grabbed my head trying to recall my memories.
'I definitely drank yesterday...'
I had drunk right up until I was about to pass out. Having been exposed as the person who caught a murderer during my military days, I became a concentrated target and exceeded my alcohol tolerance for the first time in my life.
'This is the first time my memory has been so broken... I definitely drank there and moved locations.'
Memories came back bit by bit.
After drinking all night until dawn, Ribbon Fitness hyungs who had received a call from their wives returned home with sad faces. Baek Gang Ho also took care of Lee Hye-ri with a red face and left, and that's how Lim Soo-hee and I ended up alone.
'I was trying to go back too...'
With her flushed face, Lim Soo-hee suggested that we have one more drink together. The person who drank the most at the drinking session was neither me nor any of the other members—it was Lim Soo-hee.
After that, I followed her suggestion and moved to a room-style bar nearby. We drank and had a conversation, but since I had already exceeded my tolerance, I couldn't remember much of what I said. From the moment we entered the room, my memory was hazy like it was obscured by fog. There were scenes that came to me sporadically, but they weren't connected.
'Ugh. This feeling is uncomfortable.'
Not being able to remember what I had done made me feel worse and more anxious than expected. I couldn't wake her up and ask her, so it was frustrating.
'Oh, Lucy!'
I had stupidly forgotten about Lucy. I always had a reliable companion with me. Even if I lost consciousness, Lucy would have seen and remembered everything.
As I called her in my mind, an immediate response came back.
[It's not like I know everything, Master. When you fall asleep, I also switch to sleep mode.]
This was the first time hearing this. At least it was fortunate that Lucy remembered the fragmented part of my memory.
'At least tell me what you know.'
[Understood.]
'Why am I lying in the same bed as Sister Soo-hee?'
[In the room, while drinking, you said to Lim Soo-hee, 'Sister, I'm really damn good at sex?' for that reason.]
Lucy stated the conclusion right away.
'...What?'
My thoughts stopped momentarily.
I thought there was something wrong with my ears. Otherwise, it wouldn't be strange if I was still drunk or if something happened to Lucy.
But Lucy said it again, accurately.
[Didn't you hear? You said to Lim Soo-hee, 'Sister, I'm really damn good at sex...'
'Wait, stop!'
I couldn't bear to hear it again, so I quickly cut off Lucy's words.
I had no idea what happened in the early morning hours.
I let out a silent scream inside.
'Did I really say something like that so openly?'
[Yes. You were also actively appealing your sexual skills.]
'Who? Me? Really?'
Even though Lucy's words were bound to be true, I couldn't immediately acknowledge them due to the overwhelming absurdity.
I knew my own timid personality, so I couldn't believe I had said such things so openly. But I couldn't not believe it either. Because Lim Soo-hee was actually lying next to me.
'Tell me more details. From the beginning.'
[Yes. In the room, you and Lim Soo-hee...]
Then, cutting off Lucy's words, a familiar voice interjected.
"Mm. Ju-hwan, are you awake?"
I looked over in surprise, and Lim Soo-hee was staring at me with half-open eyes. She smiled broadly, creating dimples on her cheeks.
"How's your stomach? You drank so much that you were completely out of it."
"Yes. Me... how are you feeling, Sister?"
As I asked back, Lim Soo-hee's expression frowned.
I suddenly realized what was wrong and corrected my words.
"Are you okay, Sister?"
"Hmm. Still, you have some sense, huh?"
"Haha..."
Indeed, it was because I used formal speech. Anyway, since I filled up an entire carton of eggs this year, she's been extremely obsessed with casual speech.
'I really need to let go and speak casually now.'
Anyway, his actual age was thirty-two, so there was no particular resistance to it.
