Visible Love - Chapter 4

The helper named Jo Young Mi really did a good job. Though I never saw her face, there wasn’t a speck of dust in the house and above all, she made absolutely no sound while working.

Not once were things ever out of place.

On the other hand, this woman called niece is really…!

On the first day, I was really startled by a strange sound coming from the living room.

Even before the accident I was known for having sharp hearing, but after the accident, my hearing became several times better than before, so I immediately recognized that faint sound as snoring.

Seol Ji Hyun had said the housekeeping helper injured her back.

I think he said someone else was coming instead. When I touched the beads on my wristwatch, it was past 4 o’clock. The person who came instead didn’t seem to know they only needed to work from 2 to 4 o’clock.

I never go out of my room during the time the helper is here, but the sound was so annoying that Woo Jin unknowingly sprang up from his seat.

When I opened the door, the snoring sound became even more blatant.

No way, did they send a man? Judging by the sound, it was undoubtedly a man.

I couldn’t bring myself to feel around with my hands, so I stood in front of him for a while before going back into my room.

But later when I heard Ji Hyun’s story, he said it was a woman. A young woman in her 20s at that.

A young woman in her 20s snores like that? And in someone else’s house?

Knowing it wasn’t Ji Hyun’s fault, I still vented all my frustration. He tried to calm me down saying someone else would come tomorrow.

But that statement also annoyed me.

Hearing that the front door password was being continuously shared with strangers and they were coming in and out of the house, I thought it might be better if the helper didn’t come at all.

I had just managed to calm down when I went into the room to exercise and ended up exploding properly.

Something caught my foot and I fell forward. I felt tremendous pain in my arm, not sure what I had hit.

The startled Ji Hyun hurriedly called my primary physician. After the doctor left, I warned Seol Ji Hyun not to let anyone in until the helper got better.

But.

That woman came again. I heard the sound of slippers dragging like a cat creeping around.

The squeaking sound was so irritating that I couldn’t stand it and opened the door again. But then I heard that slipper-dragging sound coming from the direction of the piano.

Why by the piano? Suddenly I remembered I had left my cane there.

“Don’t touch it!”

I shouted without preamble.

Thinking the woman would be startled, I quickly shut my mouth, but this woman, far from being surprised, actually came towards me.

I felt very unpleasant at the feeling that she had come right up to me and was looking at me.

When he let me talk to Ji Hyun, she seemed to realize her mistake after hearing his explanation and apologized repeatedly. Her apologetic voice calmed my anger a little.

Her height was about chest level. Unlike most women with noisy voices, she had a pleasant low voice.

And a unique fragrance. What is this scent? It’s a scent I’ve smelled somewhere before, but I can’t remember where.

The woman explained in detail how hard her aunt had worked to earn money and begged me not to fire her aunt.

I said I would, since I had no intention of firing her from the beginning, but for some reason she was so suspicious that she asked for a written contract.

My irritation rose again, but I said I would write it willingly. If I just say so, Seol Ji Hyun would write a hundred contract papers for me.

But she wanted it written today. What, I’ve never met such an unreasonable woman before, I approached her threateningly.

When I openly cursed at her asking if she was a tick, for whatever reason, she suddenly pulled me.

Feeling the unexpected weight, I unconsciously embraced her. Worried she might be crushed under me, I used my other arm to support myself on the floor, feeling a sharp pain.

The woman apologized again from under my body. I couldn’t understand why she kept doing things she needed to apologize for.

It seemed like only a few minutes had passed since the woman arrived, but my mind was in chaos. I was confused by the unexpected movements, and I was confused by her scent.

It was definitely a scent I had smelled before, but I couldn’t remember where I had smelled it.

Imagining how bizarre this posture must look even without seeing it, Woo Jin quickly got up and sat down beside her.

“Are you okay? Is your arm bleeding?”

It seemed the wound had opened up while supporting my body. Thinking about Kang Hyung Min, the primary physician, coming again made my head throb, but this woman said she would give me first aid herself.

She said something about treating middle school students when she was an academy instructor. Unlike other women’s voices, it wasn’t high-pitched so it wasn’t noisy, but I wondered why I had to listen to such stories.

When she suggested going to the hospital, I quickly told her the location of the first aid kit. I hate hospitals.

Strangers constantly approaching, touching and poking here and there. Just thinking about it makes the hair on my body stand on end.

After bringing the first aid kit, instead of treating me, she’s marveling at the items inside.

I’ve never met such a talkative woman. Although we just met today, it didn’t feel like we were meeting for the first time.

When I told her not to come again if she was going to keep talking like this, she asked if she could keep coming if she didn’t talk.

To her question about whether she could keep coming, I should have obviously said not to come. I had clearly told Seol Ji Hyun not to let anyone in until the previous helper got better.

“Do as you like.”

Contrary to my will, a strange answer came out.

Even as I said that, I rationalized my own behavior thinking that if she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t come since I told her to do as she liked.

“Ah!”

Woo Jin’s arm involuntarily shrank from the pain that felt like a burn.

She was used to holding down children who tried to run away from pain and treating them. Soo Young firmly grasped his arm again and gently applied the antiseptic while blowing on it.

The man who had been acting somewhat unnaturally, like an AI, finally showed a human reaction, making Soo Young feel a bit closer to him.

“What are you applying!”

When Woo Jin shouted and pulled his arm away again, Soo Young held up the antiseptic in front of his eyes, wondering if he hadn’t seen it.

“It’s antiseptic, antiseptic. After applying this, we just need to put on some ointment. You’re not as hurt as I thought. I thought it was badly torn or something since you had a bandage on. They probably wrapped it to keep water out, right?”

Woo Jin just bit his lower lip without responding to her words. It was a much more careful touch compared to when Hyung Min treated him yesterday.

Knowing how extremely he disliked contact, whenever Woo Jin got hurt, Hyung Min would always tell Ji Hyun to hold him tight and treat him almost forcefully. Does he think it’s okay if Seol Ji Hyun holds him?

He struggled so much saying not to touch him that he ended up getting an injection. But today he didn’t mind her touching him at all. It just stung where the wound was.

While Soo Young was acting like it was no big deal as she applied antiseptic and ointment, she was actually quite concerned about the wound where the skin had been completely scraped off.

Thinking it was her fault he got hurt made it hard for her to look him straight in the eyes.

“There’s blood on the bandage, should I put on a wide band-aid instead of re-wrapping it? That might be more comfortable for moving around.”

Then from those moist lips that looked like they held dew, a dry voice flowed out.

“Do it exactly as the doctor did. Don’t do it your own way.”

“The bandage is a bit difficult to wrap.”

“Then why did you take it off on your own?”

At his words, Soo Young held up the bandage in front of his eyes with an aggrieved expression.

“I may not be a doctor, but look, there’s blood on this. Wouldn’t it be bad to wrap this back on? It could get infected. In medical webtoons, when blood gets on gloves, they immediately take them off and put on new ones. Haven’t you seen that?”

Then Woo Jin looked into her eyes.

To be honest, he was looking at where he guessed her eyes would be. But that eye contact was so accurate that the other person thought he was actually looking at her.

Soo Young unknowingly stuttered at those eyes staring so intently.

“Ha-Haven’t you seen it? Ah, do men not watch webtoons much?”

“I can’t see.”

“What?”

“I said I can’t see. So don’t leave things lying around anywhere from now on.”

“Ah…”

At Woo Jin’s words, Soo Young stared back at him with a dazed expression.

She finally understood the reason why his movements and expressions had been somewhat strange. The bandage she had been holding slipped from her hand and fell to the floor.

Soo Young peeled a banana and handed it to Young Mi, then peeled one for herself and put it in her mouth.

“Don’t buy things like this anymore. Your mom buys them, and you buy them too, so we have an overflow of fruit, an overflow.”

Young Mi said as she bit into her banana.

“Mom came by?”

“Yeah. She stopped by briefly earlier saying she was out on business. Did you go there again today? That person who said he was the CEO called. He said for you to just come for 3 weeks.”

“Really?”

She was grateful that he gave permission for her to come even though he had said to do as she liked.

At the same time, she felt a little sorry for treating him carelessly without knowing he had a disability.

He seemed just like a seeing person. Their eyes met several times. Plus, when she fell, he even supported her head. While Soo Young was lost in thought, Young Mi asked.

“How did you do it? Did you meet the homeowner?”

As she was thinking about the homeowner, her aunt suddenly brought up the homeowner, startling Soo Young into answering reflexively.

“Oh. I did meet him.”

“You met him? How? I worked there for half a year but never saw the homeowner’s face. Is he a man?”

“Yeah. He’s a man.”

“How old? Does he look old?”

“Just, late 20s? Early 30s?”

“That’s similar to that CEO person. I don’t know if I should be sending you to a house with only men.”

“Well, nothing will happen.”

“How do you know? You don’t know about men.”

“This man… just seems like he wouldn’t.”

Not because he has a disability, but for some reason, he just seemed like he wouldn’t.

If he was going to do something, he would have done it when she fell that day. Even if he can’t see, he could overpower her physically. But he only supported her head without touching her body at all.

Young Mi said she never saw him at all, so she probably doesn’t know he’s visually impaired. The CEO probably didn’t mention it either.

So Soo Young just pretended not to know. From the looks of it, he doesn’t come out of his room at all from 2 to 4 o’clock. Then they probably won’t meet again in the future.

But thinking that she might never see that face again made her feel somewhat regretful. Seeing her niece sighing quietly, Young Mi asked.

“What’s wrong? Is it hard? If it’s too hard for you, you don’t have to do that part-time job. I’ll look for someone else.”

“He said he doesn’t like strangers coming in and out. I’ll go. And if you didn’t see the homeowner for half a year, aunt, I probably won’t see him again either.”

“I wonder… What does the homeowner look like? How can he live in such a big house at such a young age? Are his parents rich?”

“Who knows.”

“Or maybe he’s self-made at a young age?”

“Maybe.”

For some reason, she thought he might be a model. Not just his face, but his physique was different from ordinary people, slender and tall.

Come to think of it, that author Seol Yong seemed too much like a scammer.

How could he put that face as his own face in the book? He might have seen his face in a magazine or something and made it into a character.

She wondered if he got permission from the model. If he made it into an author character without permission, that would clearly be an infringement of portrait rights.

“Aunt. That person, he’s really handsome?”

Soo Young, who had been lost in thought, suddenly lowered her voice as if conveying important information to her aunt.

“Really?”

Young Mi’s eyes widened.

“Yeah. He looks like he just stepped out of a cartoon. His eyes are this big – and golden.”

At that, Young Mi chuckled.

He’s not a tiger cub, how could there be such a person in this world. She was somewhat glad that her niece, who loved imagining things from books since childhood, hadn’t changed even as she grew up.

“Still, all men are wolves. You know that, right?”

But she didn’t forget to warn her. Whether his eyes were gold or silver, she firmly believed anyone would be tempted seeing a pure and pretty child like Soo Young.

Although the person who said he was the CEO seemed okay and there was no one to replace her right away, so she asked her niece to do the job, if her younger brother found out later, Young Mi wondered what excuse she could give him. It really made her feel at a loss.

The next day, Soo Young arrived in front of his house before 2 o’clock and was looking at her phone when it struck 2 o’clock exactly. She entered the passcode and went into the entryway.

First, she went into the kitchen to see if there were any dishes to wash, but as expected, there was no trace of anything being eaten.

She couldn’t tell if he was constantly starving himself as Young Mi worried, or if he cleaned up right after eating.

When she opened the refrigerator, she saw some bottled water and a few black lunchboxes.

They seemed to be the lunchboxes Young Mi mentioned. Looking to see what was inside, there was everything from meat to vegetables sorted by type.

However, it seemed he wasn’t eating them well, as some of the vegetables in the stacked lunchboxes were wilted. She thought maybe he wasn’t eating much because he had to manage his figure if he was a model.

Soo Young took off her bag and placed it on a dining chair, then went to the utility room next to the kitchen to get a mop and started mopping from the hallway one by one. There was no visible dust, but she still had to do her job.

As she mopped the living room, she glanced at the closed door of the room. She wondered what he was doing inside.

…He is in there, right?

After finishing mopping the living room, she removed the seemingly new non-woven fabric and threw it in the trash, then took out a dry cloth again.

As she stealthily wiped the furniture, even to her untrained eye, all the furniture looked expensive.

She thought of the old sofa in her house. She wondered how much a sofa like this would cost.

She thought about replacing the sofa with the money she received for filling in for her aunt.

After wiping the sofa for a while, she raised her upper body and let out a scream. The homeowner was looking down at her from over the back of the sofa.

With their eyes meeting directly, even though he said he couldn’t see.

“Why, why are you standing there?”

When Soo Young asked in shock, he answered in a dry voice.

“You, you’re too noisy.”

“What?”

At his words, Soo Young quickly thought about what sound she had made.

She hadn’t made any sound while mopping the floor or wiping the furniture. If she had done the dishes, there might have been some clattering sounds, but there were no dishes to wash.

“I, I didn’t make any sound though?”

Soo Young said confidently, but Woo Jin looked down towards her feet with a displeased expression and said.

“Slippers.”

“Slippers?”

Soo Young’s gaze automatically fell downwards. She had worn them to avoid making footsteps, so she couldn’t understand what sound they were making here.

“Don’t you wear slippers at your house?”

“What?”

“Why do you drag them like that? Do you know how annoying that sound is?”

Of course his hearing would be sensitive since he can’t see. But isn’t this a bit much?

“Are you doing this on purpose to keep me from coming?”

This time, Woo Jin was taken aback by her words.

“What?”

“No, honestly, there’s no sound at all, you’re doing this on purpose. I, I got a contract from that CEO mister yesterday? So if you kick me out, that’s a breach of contract.”

“When did I ever purposely…”

Soo Young clenched her fists and spoke firmly in front of the man who couldn’t even see her.

“No matter what the homeowner does, I’m going to come here for 3 weeks. If I get a job within that time, I’ll somehow manage to hang on for 3 weeks even if I have to ask the company for understanding.”

It was something her mother would be appalled to hear, but Soo Young was determined to protect her aunt’s job even if she had to do that.

“Huh…”

Woo Jin felt as if he could see her invisible face. Was there anyone else besides his grandfather who made their presence known so strongly through their voice and breath?

Looking at the man standing there with a bewildered expression unable to say anything, Soo Young felt proud thinking she had properly responded to the homeowner’s power trip.

When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.

Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
