ROE-406 eng sub returning to grandpas house

Five years in Tokyo made me a professional, but this return to my grandfather's house—the one my mother has been looking after—is disarming: everything looks the same as in my childhood, except for the new lens through which I hear the old sounds. The creaks of the wood and the air slipping through the cracks, noises that were once just the murmur of an old house, now, in my adult mind, transform into someone having sex, a suggested truth that forces me to move slowly, almost holding my breath, to avoid being discovered. When I finally peek in and see a woman—a normal woman with her needs, I tell myself, trying to force a justification—the denial collides with a much deeper fear, a dark thought that chills my blood: I am in my grandfather’s house, and if there is another man here, I pray that, please, it isn't him.
