I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - C1
“Yuwon. Get up and wash up now!”
“Mom… just five more minutes. I was working late last night and went to bed late.”
“Is this brat still drunk? What kind of nonsense are you spouting!”
Smack-
“Ouch!”
A fierce hand landed on my back like a bolt of lightning, making me spring up from the bed. I rubbed my stinging back and raised my head. It was a person I’d never seen before. Who the heck is in someone else’s house…
“Ah! Wh-who are you? How did you get in here?”
“Good grief, this crazy bastard. Is your head going to explode from using it?”
I wanted to ask ‘Who are you? How did you get in here?’ but I couldn’t say a word, blocked by thick lips. The old woman’s thick hands looked so threatening, as if one slap from them would send me to the afterlife.
“Goodness- Now that you’re awake, go wash up and come out. We have a lot to do today, so hurry up!”
Not understanding the situation at all, I just blinked my eyes. The old woman slapped her own chest a couple times in frustration. Then a large spatula suddenly appeared in front of my face. That woke me right up.
“Y-yes, yes! I-I’ll get up! I mean, I’m up!”
Whoa. Getting hit by that would mean at least two weeks of medical treatment. As the spatula got closer, I hastily got out of bed and fled to the bathroom.
“Yuwon! Wash up thoroughly, you hear?”
“Yes, yes!”
Hearing the old woman’s voice banging on the door, I hurriedly took off my clothes and answered without thinking.
Click-
Worried she might chase me into the bathroom, I locked the doorknob tightly. Only then did the tension leave my body.
“Haa… I should report this first. Is this home invasion or something? I’ve never dealt with this before…”
I rummaged through my discarded clothes to find my phone. But unfortunately, it seemed I had left it on the bed.
“Sigh… Huh? But was our bathroom always this clean?”
In my old studio bathroom, one wall was filled with rainbow and fish stickers left by the previous family’s tastes. But the bathroom wall I faced now just had some mold here and there with no trace of rainbows or fish.
“What the… Am I really still drunk?”
Thinking I was seeing things, I rubbed my eyes and shook my head.
“…Let’s wash up first.”
I figured splashing cold water on my face would sober me up. I approached the sink and lifted the faucet handle. Washing my face with cold water seemed to clear my head, and the skin under my fingers felt silky smooth today for some reason. Was it just my imagination that my whole face fit in one hand?
“Gosh, shrinking is ridiculous… Ah, I’m coming to my- Aaahhhh!”
Wh-what is this? Who is this kid!?
Instead of my usual face that you could hardly call handsome even as a joke, there was a cute, handsome, and young-looking man in the mirror.
“Ha, what is this? This isn’t some beauty inside movie where I wake up with a different face!”
When I shouted loudly, the man in the mirror also shouted. When I frowned, the man in the mirror also frowned. After having a staring contest with the man in the mirror for a while, I lightly pinched my cheek.
“…It doesn’t hurt at all?”
No matter how hard I pinched my soft cheeks, it didn’t hurt. Then… this must be a dream.
“Plus, with this face… Damn, this is a total jackpot!”
No matter how I thought about it, this was a deal where I would definitely profit. The man in the mirror was cute, handsome, and young. With not a single wrinkle and taut skin, if I walked around Cheongdam-dong, which is full of entertainment agencies, for just 10 minutes, my hands would be stuffed with business cards.
“If this is a dream, I shouldn’t wake up too soon.”
I was in a hurry. With this face and physique, I wanted to fulfill my lifelong wish.
Despite the ice cold water, I didn’t feel cold at all. I held back the laughter that burst out on its own. I finished showering in record time and left the bathroom.
I opened the closet door, wrapping a towel around my lower body. I picked the best outfit from the slightly worn clothes this boy had. I even put on some lotion from the desk, adding a glow to the already handsome face.
‘Let’s go out quickly!’
I was anxious this precious dream, rarer than dreaming of winning the lottery, would end.
‘But that grandma was really scary…’
Thinking I had to escape those eyes of the grandmother I encountered earlier, my heart was already pounding. But I couldn’t waste time like this. I clenched my fists, took two 50,000 won bills from the piggy bank, and carefully opened the bedroom door.
I tiptoed as quietly as possible, afraid the grandmother would hear me. And I haphazardly put on the first sneakers I saw and gripped the doorknob.
“Now it’s done…”
“You brat, where do you think you’re running off to!”
“Ah! Uh, g-grandma…?”
No, put that down and talk…!
Just as the doorknob was halfway turned, the grandmother, who had somehow approached the front door, grabbed the back of my neck. The firm grip on my neck smarted. As I turned around struggling, the grandmother slapped my back hard with her thick hand.
Smack-
“Didn’t I say grandma is busy today! You slimy eel. If you try to run one more time, today will be the day of your funeral, got it?”
“Yes, yes!”
Upgraded from a spatula to a frying pan, my will to escape melted away like snow. I hurriedly took off my shoes, meekly received the bag grandma handed me, and thought,
‘Damn… I have to do it quickly before the dream ends.’
And so, the place I arrived at with grandma was none other than a small shop.
‘So this is why she said she was busy.’
Although small, it must have been a famous restaurant, as the shop was bustling with customers as soon as it opened.
“Yuwon, one rolled egg for table 2!”
“Yes!”
Rubbing my sore forearms, I was busy carrying food here and there. What the heck am I doing? I came to my senses and it was a dream, then I came to my senses again and I was waiting tables at some unfamiliar restaurant.
“Sigh… How am I supposed to find a handsome guy here? I need to go to Gangnam, Gangnam.”
No matter how much I looked around, there were only faces with eyes like buttons, nostrils the size of 500 won coins, and mouths protruding about 10 cm.
“I wonder if any handsome customers will come…”
“Grandma! We, we’re here!”
Just then, the restaurant door swung open and bright light poured through the gap. The sun had set long ago and it was definitely evening with stars twinkling in the dark night sky, but this was no illusion, it was the real deal.
“That bastard is here again, making a scene!”
“Haha… Ah, our grandma’s cursing is so flavorful. Th-this is why we can’t go anywhere else.”
“Geez! Just hurry up and eat, then crawl back home! You rotten ones. Tsk.”
To be precise, it was coming from the man in the black suit standing behind the man stuttering his words.
“Brother. Let’s sit over here! Th-this is the famous restaurant we come to often.”
It was hard to control my expression seeing the scary-looking face stutter. I burst into laughter, quickly covered my mouth and swallowed it.
“Oh, okay.”
Wow, even amid that, the man’s voice was incredibly sexy. He himself was oozing charm, practically dripping from him with every step.
“Let me pour you a shot.”
Ah… Even his fingers holding the soju glass were handsome.
‘He’s the one.’
Gulp. Without realizing it, I swallowed and my gaze kept following the man. That man was close to my ideal type I had been searching for.
‘No, what do you mean close? His looks completely match my ideal type! Right. It would be weird if my ideal type didn’t appear in my own dream.’
But how do I seduce him? What if instead of a dream of doing it with a handsome guy, it turns into a dream of humiliating myself…
No way. If it was my original face, maybe, but with my current state – looks okay, physique okay, plus my personality, it’s totally okay! …But I don’t know how to seduce him.
“Hmm… How do you seduce a man?”
Chewing my lips, I sat at the table and ripped off beansprout heads. Then, after much contemplation, I concluded I should first get rid of the man sitting in front of that sexy dynamite.
“Hmm… Is there anything good? Oh, here it is.”
Rummaging through the storage room, I found a first-aid kit with various medicines, and inside I found a laxative.
“I’m sorry… But since it’s my dream, I’ll do as I please. I’m in a bit of a hurry.”
Shaking the laxative, I hurried into the kitchen.
“Why are you in here again?”
“To make some ramen.”
“Go sit down. Grandma will make it for you.”
Grandma must have felt bad for making me work all day, so she pushed me out with her rough hands.
‘This can’t happen…’
I grabbed grandma’s hand, thinking of the laxative hidden in my pocket.
“Gr-grandma!”
“Huh…?”
“You worked even harder. Ah, please sit down…”
Feeling guilty about lying to an elder, I stammered. Then grandma looked at me fondly and sat down reluctantly. Avoiding grandma’s gaze as she got absorbed in a TV drama rerun, I hurried to turn on the gas stove.
“Scallions, egg, lots of pepper flakes.”
I hummed without realizing it as the ramen boiled quickly. From observing the sexy dynamite’s table for a while, it seemed the man couldn’t handle spicy food well. The mustached man seemed to love spicy food in contrast.
Grinning mischievously, I took out the laxative I had hidden in my pocket and sprinkled it generously into the boiling ramen.
