…!”
Enlarged eyes, more than ever before, were fixed on the approaching man.
“Hello.”
“…Hello.”
Jaein’s voice in response to his greeting seemed somehow locked, as if frozen. Tears, which had welled up in her eyes, eventually rolled down her cheeks and soaked into her muffler.
Even though her vision was blurred by tears, Jaein could still perceive that the man’s jawline became sharper than her memory, his features clearer. In this moment, Jaein believed in Santa’s existence. The man standing in front of the Christmas tree at Chicago Water Tower on Christmas Eve was none other than the one Jaein had desperately wished for – Kang Taeseo.
Biting her lip and holding back tears, she silently stared at Taeseo who was reaching into his pockets. She watched without blinking as his long arms slowly opened towards her.
“Come.”
“…”
“Quickly. I missed you.”
Before he could finish speaking, Jaein’s feet moved. Desperately moving her feet, she leaped into his embrace as if stepping on them.
“Ha…”
Long hair swayed like waves. Taeseo, who held Jaein tightly after throwing herself into his arms, kissed her cheek and buried his nose in her hair. Breathing in the scent she longed for, he gently closed his eyes.
“Huh, huh…”
“Sorry.”
“Hu, huh…”
“Sorry. I’m sorry.”
Taeseo’s eyes, whispering apologies for leaving her alone, also turned red.
Jaein, awakened from sleep by the feeling of pressure, suddenly sat up.
“…”
What tightly embraced her was not a blanket but a man’s bare body. It was not an ordinary man but the one Jaein had longed for, Kang Taeseo.
Whether the long flight was tiring or the hectic schedule before coming to Chicago was exhausting, the man with keen hearing forcefully pushed Jaein aside, yet he remained deeply asleep.
The living room beyond the open door was softly illuminated by the orange light that automatically turned on at night. It was the light Taeseo had personally chosen to become a Christmas tree and gifted to her.
“Ah…”
Only then did Jaein notice the trace that led to the bedroom. The trail, starting from the entrance, was the clothes that Taeseo and Jaein had discarded.
“Wait, just a moment…”
“No. Not even for a moment.”
“Taeseo, hu, um…”
“Ha…”
Jaein’s cheek burned hotly as she recalled last night, which was entirely red and white.
Taeseo, who had attacked like never before, relentlessly and continuously, seemed like a person possessed, endlessly pounding as if hungry and unable to satisfy himself. In places where Jaein’s scent was thick, he greedily buried his nose, and he deeply kissed every spot where the scent was strong, ultimately making her burst into tears.
All the crazy things he did were expressions of love toward her, and Jaein, knowing this, endured the overwhelming sensations that covered her. Even though she felt nauseous, she kept her strength until the end in the hands that embraced her.
Shaking endlessly in his arms before eventually falling asleep, Jaein found joy in the slight upward curve of her lips, a sign of his blindly devoted love toward her.
Jaein quietly gazed at Taeseo’s face, now settled in the dawn light that began to spread. Taeseo’s scent and warmth, intensifying with each breath he took, filled the room.
Under disheveled hair, his forehead, thick eyebrows, straight nose, prominent eyelids and lush eyelashes, and slightly parted red lips were all visible.
Seeing everything she had missed right in front of her felt like a dream. As she reached out, his shoulders were faintly revealed in her eyes.
“…”
Following the vivid red marks clearly engraved on his shoulders, Jaein’s eyes shook finely.
There were distinct red marks on his neck, collarbone, shoulders, and the upper chest that could be glimpsed. Outside the blanket, scratches from nails were visible on his arm, creating a clear pattern.
“Ha…”
The madness last night seemed to have affected not only Kang Taeseo but also Jaein.
Jaein, realizing how ardently she had desired him last night, bit her lip while recalling the aggressive self of the past night. She lay down next to Taeseo, soothing her reddened cheek on the cool pillow.
Come to think of it, they hadn’t spoken during the night. After a year of separation, they were busy feeling each other with mouths that should have asked about their well-being, and it made sense.
Embarrassed yet smiling, laughter emerges. Even when laughter comes, the tip of the nose feels cool, and then, due to the ticklish feeling, the lower lip is bitten.
In the gradually brightening dawn of the city, Taeseo, whom Jaein had seen, was now blurred in her eyes.
Finally, with a smile, Taeseo’s arm wrapped around Jaein’s waist as she slept. Naturally, he pulled her close, hugging her, and that too remained intact without waking her up.
Only then did the morning peacefully settle into the space where the two finally came together.
