2회차 인생, 나는 마음대로 살기로 했다

This is part 2 of “The Temptation of Adultery” The question is whether there is loyalty in love or not. The answer is, of course, yes, but it has never been considered obligatory. If loyalty were mandatory, “adultery” would not exist. Unfortunately, loyalty not only exists but is also a temptation so sweet that it's difficult to break free from. However, the price for loyalty is never cheap, and it never has been. Bella's husband and her close friend are paying the price for the karma they have created—the price they have to pay for betrayal, infidelity, and exploiting others is steep. But Bella is no exception either; the price she must pay may be far higher than that of the two who betrayed her. The man named Levi Karter, with whom Bella has been having an affair, is not an ordinary person. It wasn’t until everything was over that Bella realized she had made a deal with a demon for the sake of revenge. But no matter how much Bella struggled and tried to escape, she couldn't get away from him because… being bound and possessed by Levi was the price Bella had to pay after making a deal with him. To understand more, please read “The Temptation of Adultery” and then read “The Temptation of Adultery 2” The content is for 21+ readers, so please consider this before reading!

내가 대학원에 합격하고 나서 사촌 여동생이 나에게 꼭 야외 사진 촬영을 해주겠다고 했다. 내가 동생이 보내 준 주소에 도착하자마자 튀어나온 임산부에게 뺨을 맞고 땅에 넘어졌다. “내가 이 나쁜 년을 때려죽일 거야! 감히 내 남편을 유혹하다니!” 설명할 틈도 주지 않고 임산부는 가위를 꺼내 내 입술을 콱 찔렀다. 살을 찢는 듯한 통증이 엄습했고, 피범벅이 된 입술이 바닥으로 굴러떨어졌다. 나는 아파서 땅바닥에 웅크리고 앉아 경련을 일으키는데, 갑자기 나타난 사촌 여동생이 달려들어 내 뺨을 후려갈겼다. “어릴 때부터 바람둥이였던 네가 남의 남편도 가만두지 않을 줄이야!” “너 같은 사람이 어떻게 대학원에 들어간 거야? 뭐 조작한 거 아니야?” 사건이 터지자, 나는 인터넷 폭력에 의해 대학원에 들어가지 못했고 얼굴이 망가져 우울증에 걸렸다. 사촌 여동생은 내 인기를 딛고 백만 명 팔로워를 가진 인플루언서가 되었고 명예와 이익을 모두 얻었습니다. ‘다시 눈을 뜨면 사촌 여동생이 사진 찍어주던 날로 돌아갈 거야.’

After the school cafeteria for elementary school kids shut down, I decided to offer meals for all the kids in our building at my home. At the end of the month, when it came time to settle the bill, one of the neighbors wasn’t happy. “The new caterer downstairs only charges $2.50 per meal, but you’re charging us $5! That’s an extra $75 per kid per month. Do you have no shame?” she accused me. I calmly explained that I only used free-range meat and organic vegetables in my meals. But no matter how patiently I tried to reason with them, the parents insisted I refund the difference and demanded I charge no more than $2.50 per meal moving forward. When I lowered my costs to meet their demands, they started accusing me of mistreating their children. They went online to expose me and even reported me to the authorities. The online attacks were relentless. I was fined, and my husband lost his job because of the controversy surrounding me. The stress pushed me into depression, and in the end, I jumped off a building to end it all. When I opened my eyes again, I saw those same parents being swayed by others in the neighborhood to send their kids to the new daycare service that only charged $2.50 a day. What they didn’t know was that the lunch caterer next door did serve meat every day—but it was frozen, diseased pork that had been sitting in storage for two years.

아들이 조심하지 않아 남편이 사랑하는 여자의 손에 화상을 입혀 남편이 잔인하게 아들의 손을 잘랐다. 아들은 너무 아파 길을 제대로 보지 않아 호수에 빠졌고 호수는 피로 물들었다. 나는 아들을 안고 슬프게 울면서 남편에게 전화를 걸었다. 그러나 남편은 아무렇지 않다는 듯이 말했다. “그냥 손 좀 잘린 거 가지고 왜 그래? 붙이면 되잖아, 이렇게 교육 안 하면 앞으로 남을 더 괴롭히게 된단 말이야!” 아들은 제때 구원을 받지 못해 호수에 잠기고 말았다. 남편은 아들의 시체를 보고 미쳐버렸다. “아니, 손 자른 거 가지고 왜 죽은 거지?”
