Introduction

탕롱롱은 항상 자신이 행복하다고 생각했다.
전반생 동안 그녀는 학업, 경력, 결혼 모두 순탄하게 흘러갔고, 자신을 항상 챙기고 아끼는 남편까지 있었다.
하지만 어느 날, 그녀는 갑자기 깨달았다. 이 모든 것이 사실은 자신의 일방적인 바람이었을 뿐이라는 것을.
피비린내 나는 진실이 드러나자, 그녀는 눈물을 훔치고 당당하게 돌아섰다.
다시 만났을 때, 그녀는 불사조처럼 다시 태어나 복수의 여신으로 변신해 백련화를 짓밟고, 쓰레기 남자를 처단하며, 커리어의 정점에 올라 인생의 즐거움을 만끽하게 되는데...
어? 잠깐만요, 이 분, 왜 저를 끌어당기시는 거죠?
온 의사는 얼굴 가득 애정을 담아 부드럽게 그녀의 머리를 쓰다듬으며 말했다. "얘, 장난 그만하고 나랑 집에 가자."

Chapter 1

"쾅!"

반쯤 찬 콘돔 상자가 세게 날아왔다.

상자 입구가 열린 채로, 안에 있던 콘돔들이 튀어나와 테이블 위에 어지럽게 흩어졌다.

탕룽룽은 음식을 집으려던 동작이 중단되고, 놀란 표정으로 맞은편에 앉은 시어머니 방후이전을 바라보았다.

"탕룽룽!" 방후이전이 분노에 차서 소리쳤다. "너 아이 갖기로 동의했잖아?"

"그런데 왜 아직도 이런 걸 쓰는 거야?!"

탕룽룽은 잠시 멍해졌다가 눈살을 찌푸리며 불쾌한 표정을 지었다. "어머니, 또 제 물건을 몰래 뒤지신 거예요?"

"내 아들의 집인데, 내가 왜 못 뒤지겠어?"

방후이전은 기세등등하게 탕룽룽의 맞은편에 털썩 앉으며 계속 다그쳤다. "화제를 돌리지 말고, 말해봐. 이 콘돔은 어떻게 된 거야?"

탕룽룽은 짜증스럽게 음식을 한 입 집어먹으며 대충 둘러댔다. "예전에 산 거예요."

"날 바보로 아니? 안 쓰는 물건이면 버리지, 왜 이렇게 잘 숨겨놓은 거야?"

시어머니가 냉소했다. "넌 아이를 낳기 싫어서 내 아들을 꼬드겨 나를 속이고 있는 거지!"

"내 아들에게 무슨 마법을 건 거야? 자기 친엄마까지 속이게 만들다니!"

탕룽룽은 참지 못하고 반박했다. "어머니, 제가 무슨 마법을 걸었다는 거예요? 아드님은 다 큰 성인인데, 본인이 원하지 않는데 제가 어떻게 강요할 수 있겠어요?"

시어머니는 화가 나서 거친 숨을 몰아쉬며 떨리는 목소리로 말했다. "탕룽룽, 그게 무슨 태도야!"

탕룽룽은 이미 엎질러진 물이라는 듯 대꾸했다. "좋아요, 태도가 문제라고요? 아드님한테 물어보세요. 이건 제 혼자 한 일이 아니라고요."

말을 마친 탕룽룽은 고개를 숙이고 계속 식사를 했다.

하지만 시어머니의 분노는 완전히 폭발해버렸다. 그녀는 빈 접시를 집어 바닥에 세게 내던졌다.

"쨍그랑" 소리와 함께 접시가 순식간에 산산조각 났다.

"먹어! 먹어! 먹어! 먹으라고! 내 손자를 내놔!"

탕룽룽은 충격을 받고 자리에서 벌떡 일어나며 믿을 수 없다는 표정으로 말했다. "어머니, 이게 무슨 짓이세요?"

시어머니는 일그러진 얼굴로 소리쳤다. "너희들은 애초에 아이를 가질 생각이 없었어! 다 날 속인 거야!"

탕룽룽은 깊게 숨을 들이마시고 완전히 솔직하게 말했다. "맞아요. 저와 판쥔제는 3년 안에는 아이를 갖지 않기로 합의했어요."

시어머니는 탕룽룽을 손가락으로 가리키며 입을 열었다 닫았다 하더니, 말을 꺼내지 못한 채 눈을 뒤집고 그대로 쓰러져버렸다.

......

입원 수속을 마치고 의사가 링거를 꽂았다.

탕룽룽은 병상 옆 의자에 앉아 공손하게 시어머니를 위해 사과를 깎으며 말했다. "어머니, 과일 좀 드세요."

시어머니는 받지 않고 그녀를 흘겨보며 누운 채로 계속 신음했다.

"아이고~ 내 머리야~ 너무 아파~"

"아이고~ 내 가슴이~ 답답해서 죽겠네~"

옆 병상의 보호자가 보다 못해 물었다. "아주머니, 어디가 불편하세요?"

시어머니는 축 처진 눈으로 기운 없이 대답했다. "말도 마세요, 언니. 제 팔자가 사납네요."

"왜요? 이분이 따님이신가 봐요? 정말 잘 모시네요."

시어머니는 눈을 치켜뜨며 비꼬는 목소리로 말했다. "내가 어디 그런 복이 있어요. 이건 며느리예요. 이번에 입원한 것도 다 이 사람 덕분이죠~"

"어쩌다가요?" 상대방이 호기심을 보였다.

"요즘 며느리들은 정말 우리 시절이랑 달라요. 시어머니가 가르치면 어디 감히 말대꾸를 해요? 그럼 벌써 따귀를 날렸지."

"애도 안 낳겠다고 하고... 그럼 며느리는 왜 데려온 거예요?"

"매일 요염하게 꾸미고 다니고..."

방후이전은 점점 더 신이 나서 말했다.

병실 안 다른 사람들의 탐색하는 시선을 느끼며, 탕룽룽은 반박하려던 말을 삼켰다.

그냥 참자. 시어머니를 또 기절시키고 싶지는 않았다.

탕룽룽은 무력하게 일어나 사과 껍질이 담긴 쓰레기봉투를 들고 병실을 나왔다.

뒤돌아 병실 문을 조용히 닫고, 지친 모습으로 복도 벤치에 앉아 남편 판쥔제에게 전화를 걸었다.

"뚜뚜뚜뚜" 전화는 수없이 울렸지만, 상대방은 끝내 받지 않았다.

이 판쥔제, 도대체 뭘 하는 거야?

탕룽룽은 불만스럽게 눈썹을 찌푸렸다.

집은 이렇게 엉망이 됐는데, 그는 아예 종적을 감췄다. 시어머니는 입원해서 돌봐줄 사람이 필요하고, 자신은 일도 가야 하는데, 앞으로 어떻게 해야 할지...

탕룽룽은 한숨을 쉬며 전화를 거두었다.

"비키세요! 비키세요!"

대기실 쪽에서 갑자기 소란이 일어났다. 의사와 간호사들이 여러 대의 응급 들것을 사람들 사이로 빠르게 밀고 지나갔다.

응급 침대 위의 사람들은 고통스러운 신음을 내뱉고 있었고, 상처에서는 아직도 피가 흘러나오고 있었다.

탕룽룽은 호기심에 한 번 쳐다보았다.

온통 붉은 피뿐이었다.

그녀는 갑자기 위가 뒤틀리는 느낌이 들어 참지 못하고 쪼그려 앉아 구역질을 시작했다. 마치 오장육부를 모두 토해낼 것처럼 보였다.

의식을 잃기 직전, 그녀의 머릿속에는 단 하나의 생각뿐이었다:

여보, 당신은 도대체 어디 있는 거야?

...

한편, 탕룽룽의 남편 판쥔제는 낯선 식탁에 앉아 복잡한 표정을 짓고 있었다.

잠시 생각에 잠기다가, 그는 부엌으로 걸어가 채소 한 움큼을 집어들고 권했다. "샤오로우, 이렇게 많이 필요 없어." 말하면서 냉장고에 다시 넣으려 했다.

그런데 뜻밖에도, 부드럽고 보드라운 작은 손이 그의 손을 눌렀다.

"판 오빠, 빨리 나가세요. 부엌은 남자가 있을 곳이 아니에요." 샤오로우가 부드럽지만 단호한 어조로 말했다.

판쥔제는 어색하게 손을 빼고 채소를 내려놓고 돌아서려는데, 다시 샤오로우에게 불렸다.

"그런데, 판 오빠, 제 앞치마가 풀렸어요. 좀 묶어주실래요?"

판쥔제는 잠시 망설이다가 여자의 뒤로 가서 팔을 뻗어 그녀의 가느다란 허리를 감싸고 앞쪽의 끈을 찾았다.

두 사람의 거리가 너무 가까워 그는 심지어 그녀에게서 나는 은은한 장미향을 맡을 수 있었다.

정신이 팔린 사이, 그는 부드러운 무언가를 만졌다.

판쥔제는 잠시 멈칫하더니, 본능적으로 힘을 주어 다시 한번 꾹 눌렀다.

"판... 판 오빠! 뭐 하시는 거예요?" 샤오로우의 얼굴이 빠르게 붉어지며 꽃처럼 아름다워졌다.

판쥔제도 마치 화상을 입은 듯 한 걸음 물러서며 횡설수설했다. "아... 미안해... 미안해... 일부러 그런 게 아니야... 네 것인 줄 몰랐어... 아, 난 거실에서 기다릴게."

말을 마치자마자 부엌에서 도망치듯 나갔다.

샤오로우는 뒤돌아보며 입꼬리를 올리고 만족스러운 표정으로 요리를 시작했다. 방금 전의 수줍음은 온데간데없었다.

식사를 마치고 판쥔제가 막 작별 인사를 하려고 일어났을 때, 갑자기 천지가 뒤흔들리는 느낌이 들어 엉덩이를 붙이고 다시 앉았다.

샤오로우가 재빨리 그의 곁으로 다가와 걱정스럽게 물었다. "판 오빠, 어떡해요? 괜찮으세요?"

"모르겠어... 머리가 너무 어지러워... 너무 어지러워." 판쥔제는 이마를 감싸며 중얼거렸다.

샤오로우는 몸을 숙여 걱정스럽게 손을 그의 이마에 얹었다.

판쥔제는 참지 못하고 작게 신음했다. 피부 접촉이 가져다준 시원함이 너무 좋았다.

고개를 들자, 그는 다시 샤오로우의 옷깃 사이로 출렁이는 풍만함을 보았다.

그는 순간 더욱 뜨거워지며 온몸이 폭발할 것처럼 견디기 힘든 열기를 느꼈다.

누가 먼저 시작했는지 모르게, 두 사람은 서로를 껴안았다.

거친 숨소리가 공기 중에 퍼지고, 남녀는 미친 듯이 얽혀 오르락내리락하며 뜨거운 기운을 발산했다...

거실에 던져진 휴대폰은 무음 모드로 설정되어 있었고, 화면은 소리 없이 밝아졌다 어두워졌다를 반복했지만, 끝내 받는 사람은 없었다.

다음 날 아침

판쥔제는 무거운 머리를 부여잡고 일어나 엉망이 된 방을 보았다.

그는 급히 일어나 옷을 입고 휴대폰을 찾았지만, 이미 전원이 꺼져 있었다.

판쥔제는 서둘러 충전기를 찾았다. 휴대폰이 켜지자마자 부재중 전화와 읽지 않은 문자 메시지가 끊임없이 쏟아져 나와 거의 화면이 터질 것 같았다.

그는 미간을 찌푸리며 참을성 있게 하나씩 읽어나갔고, 마지막 메시지를 보는 순간 몸이 떨리며 손이 흔들렸다.

휴대폰이 "탁" 하는 소리와 함께 시멘트 바닥에 떨어졌다.

금이 간 화면을 통해 어렴풋이 보이는 왜곡된 글자:

"나 임신했어!!"

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
