30 How long are you going to watch? (1/2)

[FIVE YEARS AGO AT T MOUNTAIN]

Nam Ji Won leaves the room after Tae Il falls asleep. His foot is bandaged, but he will be fine after a few hours of rest. She comes to Lee Hyo Rin's room.

”Wear this.” Lee Hyo Rin throws clothes at her. ”I will do your make up.”

”Okay.” She takes the clothes and goes to the bathroom to change. She comes out in dark trousers, a white shirt, and a brown coat. Lee Hyo Rin gives her a brown wig. She does her make up to make her look more masculine.

”It's done.” She puts down the brush. ”You have to go to her room and knock the door two times. Then, you will smile at her and tell her that Baek In Jung sent the flowers and the wine for her birthday. If she doesn't invite you in, say that you have been requested to serve her personally. Pour her the drinks. She will fall asleep after drinking. Then, you change her clothes into a black robe...make it look like she was intimate. Put these pictures on the bed. Put another glass of wine. It should look like someone else was there.”

She hands her the envelope.

”Isn't this too much?” Nam Ji Won eyes her warily.

”She is having affair with Baek In Jung,” Lee Hyo Rin tells her without emotion.

”Still...” Nam Ji Won purses her lips.

”You are having second thoughts?” Lee Hyo Rin snorts. ”Should I call your father?”

”Hmm, ok. I will do it.” Nam Ji Won grumbles. ”I should leave after this?”

”You should leave unless you want to get beaten up by my father.”

Nam Ji Won leaves. She finds room 1441. She follows Lee Hyo Rin's instruction. A sophisticated woman in her early forties opens the door. She is wearing a black dress and a diamond necklace.

”Mr Baek sent these for you.” Nam Ji Won shows her the flowers and the wine. She smiles at her brightly. ”Happy Birthday, Mrs Lee.”

”He sent these roses?” Mrs Lee takes the flower. ”And my favourite wine too...How thoughtful of him!”

”He requested that I entertain you until he comes.” Nam Ji Won feels jittery, but she calms herself down. She realizes that she is getting better at lying. She doesn't feel good about it. It feels wrong. Should she stop?

Her father will kill her if he finds out.

”Come in.”

Nam Ji Won follows her inside. It's a luxurious suite. Everything looks costly. She wonders if the oxygen in the room is costly too. She shakes her head at the weird thoughts. Oxygen is free. Breathing is free.

”Serve me the wine.” Mrs Lee smiles at her seductively. Nam Ji Won feels goosebumps rising in her body. She should serve the wine as soon as possible. She pours the first glass and gives it to Mrs Lee.

”You are quite handsome.” Mrs Lee looks at her like she isn't wearing any clothes. Her chastity is in danger. She just smiles back politely and waits. She watches Mrs Lee take several sips

”Take your coat off.”

Why isn't she asleep yet? Did Lee Hyo Rin trick her? Nam Ji Won takes her coat off and places it on the couch. She straightens up when she finds Mrs Lee looking between her legs. There's nothing, Madam.

”Strip.”

Nam Ji Won puts off her socks first, waiting. She hears Mrs Lee chuckle. She looks up and finds her appearing sleepy. She takes off the second sock and looks up again. Mrs Lee is leaning down on the bed slowly. She takes the wine glass and puts it on the table.
