CH16

Mikael shook his head as he looked at Yul trembling with disgust after entering the footbath with his own feet.

So, he couldn’t understand why he went into the bath without asking. He was a really funny guy in many ways.

After wiping off the water on his body, Yul headed for a large bath nearby. When Mikael saw that, he poured water from the bath into a nearby bowl and soaked Yul in the bowl.

“Ahh, that’s good.”

The small gourd was just the right size for Yul.

Yul’s body melted softly from the rising heat. The fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days seemed to have been completely dissipated.

While Yul soaked herself in the warm water, Mikael brought perfume, bath products, and a soft brush.

When he thought about it, it was quite ridiculous. He never dreamed that he would be serving someone’s bath. It was also amazing that the person in question was such a small and trivial cotton doll.

Mikael burst into laughter while dripping a few drops of perfume into the gourd where Yul was soaking.

There was a very small amount of water, so even with a small amount of perfume oil, the fragrant smell diffused. Then, when the bath solution was put in, white foam started to bloom.

In the bubbling foam, Yul splashed with short limbs. Then the bubble quickly became richer.

“Wahh, it smells so good.”

It had a sweet yet refreshing scent. Yul was satisfied and sniffed, putting his face close to the bubbling water. A smile as gentle as a wave appeared on Mikael’s face as he quietly watched it.

Mikael gently rubbed Yul’s hair with a brush. He was quite satisfied with the feeling of the brush gently scraping his body, which had become slippery with foam. Yul completely surrendered himself to Mikael and enjoyed the bath.

“Uh, I’ll take care of the body!”

Yul, who was being bathed like a cat melted in the warm sunlight, was startled when Mikael’s hand came down below his head.

No matter how much his body was that of a doll now, he was a human in spirit, and he was embarrassed at the thought of someone else washing him at such an age.

“Do it if you can.”

At Mikael’s words, Yul accepted the bath brush he handed over. He held his brush toward his body and gripped the long handle firmly with both hands.

However, Yul, who was moving his arms wildly, was immediately embarrassed.

Whether it was because the length of the brush was too long or it was because Yul’s body was too short, the angle could not be right. He tried again by holding the handle as close to the brush as possible, but this time the wet brush was too heavy to hold.

After three or four attempts, the unsuccessful Yul became sullen. He tried to rub his body roughly with his wet hands, but the body of the cloth soaked in foam was slippery, and his palms were slippery, so it didn’t feel like he was washing.

Above all, the biggest problem was the back. It was already difficult for ordinary people to wash their backs properly by themselves, but since Yul was a doll, the length of his arms was unusually short. Because of this, no matter how much he struggled, it was impossible to properly wash up.

“…”

Yul became depressed that things didn’t go as planned because of his body. He had always felt uncomfortable after possessing a doll, but it was the first day in which this and that didn’t go as he wished.

Not only was he devoured by the beloved pet he raised, he soaked himself in the foot bath and also could not take a bath as he wanted. When he counted them one by one, it was even more depressing.

Yul furrowed his eyebrows.

Anyway, he didn’t look scary at all because he was a doll with a big head. On the contrary, from the perspective of Mikael, who was watching, he was about to burst into laughter. Mikael struggled to hold back the laughter.

Come to think of it, he didn’t know how many times he had laughed like this. He couldn’t even remember the last time he laughed.

But lately, there had been a lot of things to laugh about. Because of this little, trivial cotton doll.

It was strange not to laugh while watching this small thing. As such, Yul’s actions drew attention.

Mikael picked up the brush Yul had thrown away and gently rubbed Yul’s body.

Yul’s eyes widened, but he didn’t say anything as if he had given up. As Mikael washed him, he stayed quiet.

A gentle touch, added to the warm temperature and the fragrant smell that made one feel good just by smelling it. He was still embarrassed, but it was not so bad to relax and stay still. Rather, it felt like his heart, which had been stained with melancholy, was cleansed.

A satisfied smile appeared on Yul’s dark face.

———

“Uwaahhh! Be gentle, be gentle, I’m dying!!!”

The happiness didn’t last long. Yul let out a dying sound and squawked.

It was all good until he took a fragrant and clean bath. The problem was Yul’s body, which was made of cloth on the outside and cotton on the inside. Even after wiping Yul, water dripped.

Mikael, at first, patiently wiped him with a towel, but after the fourth wet towel, he took a deep breath.

At the moment when Yul was about to look into his eyes at the ominous harsh breathing sound, Mikael picked up Yul and started wringing him as hard as he could.

“I am dying, I am dying! Aaahhhhhh, Kael-ahhhh!!!”

The grip was strong enough that his whole body would have already been crushed if he was human. However, Yul was a cotton doll, not a human. No matter how much Mikael squeezed or twisted him, only the shape was distorted, but there was no injury.

To be honest, the pain wasn’t too bad. However, the psychological impact of his body being twisted was severe.

“Mikael, you crazy bastard! Stop it!!!”

At last, Yul’s mouth burst into curses.

Mikael paused when he heard that, but he did not stop squeezing Yul. Clockwise, then counterclockwise. He kept squeezing his body as he changed directions. How much water did this cotton doll take up? The water kept dripping even after squeezing him.

Even then, after a long time of handheld drying, no more water came out. He still felt wet, but did not drip as much as before. Only then did Mikael let Yul go.

""

“Is this my third life…”

Yul, who had lost his soul, muttered to himself as he lost his mind.

His first life was as a poor graduate student in Korea. The second life was the obsessive maniac’s cotton ball doll. And what the hell is the third life?…

If it was going to be that kind of life, he didn’t want to live three times.

Yul laid helplessly on the floor.

Seeing Yul like this, Mikael tilted his head with a dissatisfied expression. After being squeezed in this direction and that direction, Yul’s body was distorted, unlike before his bath.

His face also seems to have turned a little, and the left and right sides of the limbs are uneven. His left leg was limp because there was almost no cotton, but his right leg was full as if it was about to burst.

Fortunately, Yul didn’t look in the mirror, so he was unaware of his condition. If Yul had found out, he would have been crying and screaming and making a fuss. So before he knew about it, Mikael had to fix it quickly.

“Ahem, be obedient.”

Mikael, who was feeling slightly guilty, commanded him. Either way, Yul, who was dazed, laid in the 大 position and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Mikael put him on the shelf to prevent Lucky from targeting him, and then headed somewhere at a quick pace.

After Mikael left the room, Yul did not move.

I will never take a bath again. A damn bath like this.

He was no longer in a heavy state like before when he was drenched in water, but his body felt subtly heavy. In addition, his limbs lost strength. In particular, the left leg was strangely weak.

“Why am I so weak?… Uahhh, my leg! Why are my legs like this?!”

Seeing the skinny left leg, Yul almost fainted from shock. When he looked at his right leg for comparison, his right leg was swollen as if it was about to explode. When he looked at both legs together, the difference was even more stark.

Yul screamed in shock.

“A- And what’s wrong with my arms?!”

It was the same with both arms. His left hand was thin while his right hand was full.

Seeing his bizarrely transformed body, Yul fell into despair.

He didn’t know what the hell happened to him.

Why did this happen all of a sudden? I’m sure I was fine until I took a bath… !

Wait, I was fine until I took a bath. Yep, Mikael, it wasn’t like this until the bastard wiped me off with a towel! Then…

“Mikael you son of a bitchhhhh!”
