Chapter 1

오늘은 인턴 첫날이다. 일주일 전에 세계에서 가장 큰 다국적 기업 중 하나에 합격했는데, 이렇게 자랑스러울 수가 없다.

이 인턴십은 유급이라 정말 감사했다. 덕분에 아빠에게 용돈을 달라고 하지 않아도 되니까.

엄마와는 별로 친하지 않다. 엄마는 아빠와 달리 차갑고 거리감이 느껴진다.

자라면서 엄마의 사랑을 느낀 적이 없다. 엄마는 술에 취하면 항상 내 탓으로 그녀의 인생이 망가졌다고 비난했다. 어렸을 때는 그 말이 무슨 뜻인지 잘 몰랐지만, 자라면서 이모와 할아버지, 할머니에게 들은 이야기로 엄마가 대학 시절 남자친구에게 임신을 했고, 그가 그 사실을 알자마자 도망쳤다는 것을 알게 되었다.

엄마는 그가 떠났을 때 큰 충격을 받았고, 임신을 중단하려고 했지만, 할아버지와 할머니가 그것을 허락하지 않아 결국 나를 낳았다. 출산 후 다시 대학에 돌아가지 않았다. 엄마는 그녀를 버린 대학 남자친구를 찾으려 했지만, 결국 그가 우리 마을의 부유한 여자와 결혼할 예정이라는 것을 알게 되었다.

엄마는 너무 상심하여 술에 빠져들었고, 그러다 Danny를 만났다. 그가 바로 내가 아빠라고 부르는 사람이다. 그는 내 친아빠는 아니지만, 나를 친자식처럼 사랑해준다. 그는 엄마와 나 사이의 빈틈을 그의 친절과 사랑으로 메워준다.

엄마는 술을 끊고 아빠와 함께 행복해졌고, 나에게도 친절해지기 시작했다. 내 필요를 챙겨주기도 했다. 하지만 몇 년이 지나 내가 7살이 되었을 때, 엄마는 파티에서 친아빠를 만나게 되었고, 거의 완벽했던 상황이 내가 태어났을 때처럼 나빠졌다.

이모의 말에 따르면, 엄마는 그 파티에서 그를 대면했는데, 그는 엄마를 창녀라고 모욕하고, 자신이 내 아빠가 아니라고 비난하며 다른 모욕적인 말을 했다고 한다.

그날 이후로 엄마는 다시 나에게 차가워졌고, 나를 보면 아빠가 생각나서 구역질이 난다고 말했다.

어렸지만, 엄마가 나를 비난할 때마다 얼마나 아팠는지 아직도 기억난다. 엄마는 내가 아빠를 닮아서 나도 그처럼 자랄 거라고 말했다.

하지만 Danny, 아빠는 항상 내 곁에 있었다. 그는 내 모든 발표회에 참석해주었고, 연습 때조차도 와서 응원해주었다. 고등학교 때 여자 축구를 했는데, 연습 때마다 와서 응원해주었다. 경기 날 밤, 그는 관중석에서 내 이름을 목청껏 외치며 응원해주었다.

엄마가 없는 동안, 아빠는 항상 내 곁에 있었다. 아빠는 오랫동안 엄마를 떠나고 싶어 했지만, 엄마는 항상 술에 취해 이유 없이 소리를 지르고 집안 물건을 부수기도 했다. 엄마는 항상 아빠와 싸움을 시작했지만, 아빠는 나를 생각해서 떠나지 못했다.

나는 아빠의 친딸이 아니기 때문에 나를 데리고 갈 수 있는 권한이 없었다. 그때 나는 아직 미성년자였다. 그래서 아빠는 나를 위해 고등학교 졸업할 때까지 머물렀다.

내가 18살이 되자, 아빠는 나를 대학 기숙사에 보내 엄마와 멀리 떨어지게 해주었고, 곧바로 이혼을 신청했다.

나는 아직도 엄마와 연락을 주고받고, 가끔씩 그녀를 찾아가기도 한다. 비록 엄마가 항상 나에게 차갑게 대하지만 말이다. 중요한 것은, 내가 엄마의 미움을 받으며 자랐더라도, 아빠는 나를 현실에 발을 딛고 살게 해주셨다는 것이다. 아빠는 항상 엄마가 여전히 나의 어머니라는 것을 상기시켜주셨고, 내가 그것을 느끼지 못하더라도 엄마가 나를 나름대로 사랑하고 있다고 말씀해주셨다.

아빠는 항상 다른 사람들이 친절하지 않더라도 내가 친절하게 대해야 하며, 항상 고맙다고 말하고 부탁할 때는 정중하게 해야 하며, 원한을 품지 말아야 한다고 가르치셨다.

아빠는 참 좋은 분이시다. 엄마와 헤어진 후 다른 사람을 만나지 못한 것이 안타깝다.

아빠는 나에게 집중하셨고, 좋은 학교에 보내주셨으며, 내가 더 나은 미래를 가질 수 있도록 해주셨다.

그래서 지금, 나는 인턴십을 시작하려고 한다. 나는 경영학 학사 학위를 받았고, 석사 학위를 계속하고 싶었지만, 그것은 아빠에게 큰 부담이 될 것이다.

그것은 아빠와 나 사이의 논쟁이었다.

나는 일을 시작해서 내 돈을 벌고, 내 석사 학비를 내가 부담하고 싶었지만, 아빠는 그것에 반대하셨다.

대학을 졸업한 후, 아빠는 내 아파트를 마련해 주셨고, 그 아파트의 모든 비용을 지불하고 계신다. 아빠는 내가 파트타임 일을 하는 것조차 허락하지 않으셨다. 많은 학생들이 그렇게 하지만, 아빠는 내가 공부에 집중하기를 원하셨다.

아, 정말 큰 논쟁이었지만, 결국 나는 아빠를 설득시켰고, 내가 더 이상 아이가 아니며 스스로를 돌볼 수 있는 여성이라는 것을 이해시키게 되었다.

거울을 마지막으로 한 번 더 바라봤다. 나는 머리를 약간 웨이브로 말았다. 자주색 스키니 슬랙스를 입었고, 흰색 터틀넥 긴팔 셔츠와 검은색 하이힐을 매치했다. 나를 인터뷰했던 인사 담당자가 정장을 입을 필요는 없다고 해서 파워 캐주얼 룩을 선택했다.

만족스러워지자마자 문으로 향했다.

"오, 안녕, 카라!" 옆집 이웃, 깁슨 부인이다.

"안녕하세요, 깁슨 부인. 좋은 아침이에요!" 나는 그녀에게 인사했다.

"정말 좋은 아침이야, 얘야. 너는 항상 아름답구나." 그녀는 미소 지으며 나와 함께 걸었다.

엘리베이터 버튼을 누르고 그녀를 바라보았다.

"오늘 인턴십을 시작해요. 상사와 동료들에게 좋은 인상을 주고 싶어요." 나는 미소를 지으며 그녀에게 말했다.

엘리베이터 문이 열리자, 나는 그녀에게 먼저 타라고 손짓했다.

"오, 얘야, 분명 그럴 거야. 너는 정말 멋져 보여." 그녀는 내 팔에 손을 얹었다.

그녀는 정말 좋은 분이다. 항상 건물 내 모든 사람들에게 인사를 건네며, 매우 따뜻한 분이다.

엄마도 그녀처럼 따뜻했으면 좋겠다고 생각하지만, 그건 그저 바람일 뿐이다.

깁슨 부인은 내 표정이 어두워진 것을 눈치챘다.

"얘야, 너무 걱정하지 마. 분명 좋은 하루가 될 거야." 그녀는 나를 안심시키려고 했다.

나는 그녀를 바라보며 미소 지었다.

"감사합니다, 깁슨 부인."

우리는 그녀가 1층에서 내리고 나는 지하 주차장으로 가면서 헤어졌다.

내 차는 2015년식 검은색 토요타 캠리다. 아빠의 오래된 차이다. 아빠는 내가 졸업했을 때 새 차를 선물로 사주고 싶어 하셨지만, 나는 정중히 거절했다. 나는 아빠가 자신을 위해 새 차를 사기를 원했고, 그래서 아빠는 그렇게 하셨다.

차를 시동 걸고 오늘 하루가 더 나아지기를 기도했다.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.

"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.

Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before.
