Dark Secrets

Chapter 35: When the Girls Talk (1 of 2)

We arrived at Seoul, Sunday evening after long hours of flight from Brussels, we’re finally back home.

I bought a lot of souvenirs from the flea market with almost the same cost of the single item I bought for Hestia because it’s luxurious though it’s the cheapest stuff on the list that Pluto has.

I slept in all night and the next day to relieve myself from jetlag, I also wanted to take a rest on Tuesday but I had to go the university for enrolment.

Thanks to that one-time case, I become a millionaire on my own, I took home €70,000 and it’s worth ₩100 million in this country.

If not for the €769.23 that Pluto gave me because he doesn’t want change in his wallet after giving Diso his €3,076.92, I could’ve paid the whole €3,489.57 baby doll dress of Hestia instead of € 2,720.34 only, and I only spent €4,202.74 for the souvenirs.

Either Pluto or Diso paid for our meals on our last two days so I basically only spent for the stuffs I brought home with me.

After the long day in the campus, I’m finally done with the enrolment process and 2nd semester starts at August 30, basically the last 2 days of the month instead of 1st Monday of September.

I literally spent 8 hours because of the long lines in every process considering that a lot of medical students are enrolling today, so I got home at 5pm and wait for my parents to come home without doing anything as I’m too exhausted to move at all.

When I heard the door opened, I didn’t even bother to look as I’m too focus watching TV while lying on the sofa.

“Did you bring bread or pastry for me? I’m hungry Mom, I haven’t eaten dinner yet.” I lifted my shirt up to scratch my tummy.

“So, this is how you look like when you’re relaxing at home.” a familiar voice of a man speaks to me.

“P-Pluto??!” I suddenly sit up from shocked. “W-What are you doing here?!” pulling my shirt down.

“Awkward.” Mom teasing me as she walks by. “What time did you come back home?” walking straight to the kitchen.

“5pm. I got my printed registration form at 4pm after falling in line for how many times in every enrolment process.” ignoring the smirk on Pluto’s face as I lean my chin on the headboard of the sofa while talking to my Mom. “Why is he here with you two?” pointing at Pluto.

“He visited my clinic and had his ankle for a check-up, his injury is almost healed but it still stings him a bit.” Dad said as he helped Mom to prepare the table.

“Why don’t you stay at home and take a complete rest?” I turned to Pluto who’s sitting at the left corner of the sofa.

“I already did that yesterday.” he leaned closer to me while facing the TV. “I can’t help it, I miss you so bad, I want to see you now.” he whispered to me for my parents not to hear.

“Geez.” I pushed him away. “When are you going to the campus for enrolment? 1st up to 3rd year only have this week to enrol and next week is for seniors.” I turned around to face the TV too and put a pillow on my lap since I’m on Indian sitting position.

“I never go to the campus to enrol, Butler Kim do it for me, I only need to attend my classes and do good in exams that’s all I do.”

“Even on your 1st year? You have to take a picture for the ID, right?”

“Uh-huh. I always have my photo taken every mid-January, that’s the photo they used for my ID even until now since it can’t be change. Whatever you look like on your first year will be the photo in your ID until graduation or if you get another ID in case you had it damaged in any possible way.” he responded.

“Lucky you, you never experience the struggle of every student during enrolment.” sighing deeply. “You’re staying here for dinner?”

“My mother-in-law asked me to, how can I say no?” he uttered.

“Stop it!” I grabbed his arm and squeeze it. “Don’t say crap when my parents are around.” reprimanding him from making fun of me.

“Haha. Fine.” he laughed at me then he pointed at the TV. “Do you watch this kind of soap opera?”

“It premiered yesterday and I happened to watch it from the start, it seems interesting so I think I keep on looking forward in every episode until the end.” I turn my head to the TV.

“What’s that drama all about?” he asked curiously while watching the program with me.

“About that Korean teacher whose teaching Chinese to her class because the school fired the former Chinese teacher due to a scandal, she witnessed it with her own eyes but didn’t tell to anyone because it’s not her business to deal with other people’s matter still the Chinese teacher suspected her as the whistle blower because she’s her rival for regularization at the school and she’s the one who caught her red-handed that night.” I told him the first episode I watched yesterday.

“So, is it about the revenge of the Chinese teacher to the Korean teacher or other genre?” he also seems interested with the plot.

“I don’t know yet. This handsome student of her seems to be her love interest. The guy’s 18 and she’s 27, 9 years age gap.” I replied.

“Do you prefer younger guys too?” he glanced at me for a while.

“No, I prefer older guys but not more than 5 years. Women matured faster than men because of …” I’m about to explain it to him scientifically but he cut me off.

“Please, no. I already had enough from Tia explaining every single thing about the difference of men and women. I’m already satisfied to hear that you prefer men 5 years or less older than you.” Pluto said as he keeps on watching the show.

The drama ends at 8 and another drama airs after a few commercials, so I change the channel to a variety show while we’re having dinner at the dining area.

I usually sit on Dad’s right side but I’ll be turning my back from the TV so I sit beside Mom while Pluto sits beside me as he watches the show too with us while having a meal.

“Oh no, no, no! Hahaha!” I burst out laughing with my mom as we both hit the one beside us except each other. “Hahahaha!”

“I’m thankful and feel sorry for you at the same time, Pluto.” Dad said to Pluto. “If you’re not here they’re both hitting me right now.”

“I guess I have to get used to it, Uncle.” Pluto glanced at me. “You’re having so much fun, Desa.”

“Hahaha, sorry, it’s a habit of mine and you probably know from whom I got this kind of behaviour.” referring to my Mom beside me.

“It’s fine I like to see you this happy even if you’re hurting me physically. Your laughter is so wild and it’s kinda addicting.”

“What the hell are you talking about?” I glanced at him. “Just eat your dinner and watch TV, this is how we do it here.”

“Yeah, I should learn your way of living too, since I’ll be part of your family sooner or later.” he said it softly but I heard him clearly.

I put my hand on his thigh and give him a slight squeeze. “I told you to stop talking like that when my parents are around.” I removed my hand immediately after I warned him but he grabbed my hand and put it back on his thigh. “W-What are you doing??!”

“You caught me off guard at first but I like the way you touch me, Desa.” he moved my hand closer to his private part.

“A-Are you crazy??! What do you think you’re doing??!” I tried to pull my hand away but his grip is stronger than mine.

I’m about to clench my fist that he holds but I grabbed his manhood instead and we’re both frozen at the moment like we’ve been stunned by sudden electricity that hit us.

If not for Mom’s laughter we wouldn’t let each other go, I immediately grabbed the glass of water with the hand that touched his thing and emptied it straight like I’m taking the fire out in me.

I don’t know if he intended it or he’s just joking around as he’s also surprised when I actually touched his manhood.

My face is probably bright red from embarrassment, I’ve never touched a man’s private part before and sensation still lingers on me like I want to hold it again and feel him with my hand.

I washed the dishes after while Pluto stayed for a while in the living room with my parents and talk as they continue to watch TV at the sports channel since Dad likes all the ball games.

I tried to erase that memory from my head as he already seemed to move on from that incident under the table because he’s cheering with my Dad on their favoured soccer team.

I want it to washed away as I rinse the dishes and wipe it out when I wiped them dry but how come I can’t forget?!

After the game, he said farewell to my parents and they had me send him off to the elevator like he’ll be lost when he got out from our unit when it’s just straight ahead and there nowhere else to go.

“Take care on your way home.” I pressed the elevator button for him. “Drive safely.” not even looking at him as I speak instead, I’m looking at the top to see what floor is the elevator at the moment.

“I enjoyed it.” he whispered to me with a seductive voice.

“I-I didn’t mean to touch it!” I glanced at him as I explained myself.

“Hahaha.” he laughed at me. “What I mean is spending time with your family. You’ve been thinking about it all this time??” cornering me at the wall near the elevator door.

“N-No.” I stuttered as I blurted out a lie but of course he won’t buy it. “B-But you wanted me to touch it in the first place.”

“I’m just messing with you; I didn’t know that you’ll actually do it.” he leans forward as he move his face closer to mine. “Do you know how hard I tried to suppress what I feel when you touched me?”

“I-It’s your fault. Y-You shouldn’t be joking like that.” looking at his eyes as I can feel him breathing on my face. “W-What if my parents caught us? What would they think about us, specially me??!”
