“Every time you say that, I wonder if it’s a trick, but…”
I gently stroked Jun’s sweaty forehead and cheeks.
“It doesn’t feel like that now.”
“…This is more annoying than I thought.”
“Huh? See, I suggested going to the hospital.”
When I tried to sit up in surprise, Jun, with his arms around my waist, pressed his arms back toward me.
“Not that. Because we keep doing this, I keep wanting to kiss you. But I can’t.”
“…Why?”
“I’m afraid I’ll catch a cold from you.”
Jun’s fingertips, full of heat, slightly touched and withdrew from my cheek. Only then did I start to consciously feel the warm breath you were exhaling. It was probably because of that momentary heat that made me dizzy. Without realizing it, I blurted out.
“It’s okay if we do…”
“Tell me.”
Placing both hands on Jun’s chest and slightly lifting my body, Jun quickly enveloped me, wrapping my back around his chest again.
“It’s okay. Just being like this with you is enough.”
Jun, keeping his hands on my waist, closed his eyes. As if it was enough to just be embraced like this.
I looked down at Jun. The heat spreading up to his forehead had made Jun’s bangs wet. I gently brushed Jun’s wet hair back. Jun’s closed lips formed a smooth curve.
And then, I kissed Jun’s lips slowly.
Because our bodies were tightly pressed together, I could immediately feel Jun twitching. When I slightly separated my lips, Jun, with a face even redder than before, said,
“You might catch a cold.”
“It’s okay.”
I lowered my head again. Trying to deepen the kiss, Jun closed his eyes as if he couldn’t help it, accepting my kiss.
Perhaps because of Jun’s heightened heat, the hot sensation transmitted to me was overwhelming. My body felt as heated as the surrounding air, which began to feel damp from the crossing warm breaths. The sticky sound filled the room.
At that moment, Jun’s hand, which was wrapped around my waist, began to wander around the hem of my blouse, caressing it.
Without stopping, it slipped inside my blouse. Jun’s hot touch, conveyed through my side and back, made me gasp, and I let out my breath, parting my lips.
As Jun felt my piercing gaze, he smiled, raising the two hands that had been exploring inside my blouse a little while ago.
“Oh, sorry. I guess I lost my mind for a moment because I’m sick.”
A shameless smile appeared on his face, as if he didn’t know what my two hands had just done.
“Your body too. We have to go to work soon.”
“Huh? Oh… If that’s the case, I don’t mind.”
Compared to the apology a while ago, Jun’s hand started pulling the end of my blouse again. I strengthened the hand that wrapped around Jun’s hand.
“What’s this?”
“An expression of love?”
“Why are you doing it by grabbing my clothes?”
“…Because I can’t do it while you’re wearing clothes?”
“Ah…”
His bright blush did not suit the explicit tone of my words. Trying to twist away, I again lifted my waist, but he wrapped his arms around my waist again, preventing me from moving.
“Yah, Iharu, you tend to take jokes seriously.”
“It wasn’t a joke.”
“If it wasn’t. What’s changed?”
“What?”
“See? Nothing will change. Just stay hugged. Stop squirming.”
“You’re the one making it like this.”
“How am I making it?”
Laughing at his absurdity, I was staring at Jun. At that moment, the doorbell rang from the entrance, reaching the bedroom. The hot air that had filled the bedroom was disturbed by the sound.
It was quite an early hour, so perhaps the bell didn’t ring well. Unlike me, who looked bewildered, Jun had an expression as if he knew exactly why the bell had rung at this time.
“Of all times… Anyway…”
“…Was anyone expected?”
“Oh, it’s Secretary Yoon.”
Jun’s arm, which was around my waist, loosened without energy. Sliding down beside the bed, I suggested, “Should I go out?”
“No, it’s something related to me, so I should go out and see. Haru, you stay here for a moment.”
Jun struggled to lift his visibly heavy upper body. Closing his eyes, perhaps due to dizziness, he slowly opened them again.
During that moment, he seemed to sense the pitiful look I was giving him, so he smiled as if to say, “Stop looking like that.” Even that small smile seemed to require effort as his feeble body left the bed.
I stood there and watched Jun’s back. The back of his shirt was damp with sweat. Seeing the soaked shirt clinging to his back, I felt a belated regret for what I had just done to someone in pain.
“Director.”
As soon as Jun opened the entrance door, the voice of a woman, presumably Secretary Yoon, could be heard softly.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t come down because I’m not feeling well. Are the conference materials all prepared then?”
“The materials are ready, but Director, your complexion doesn’t look good.”
A low and crisp tone. Curiosity arose. Despite our business relationship, she was a woman who almost accompanied Jun in all his schedules.
There was no jealousy or anything like that towards her, who faithfully performed the duties of a secretary. It was just a shallow curiosity about someone intimate enough to be with Jun throughout almost all his public schedules, whether filled or unfilled.
A foolish thought crossed my mind: could I secretly see her face in the mirror that filled the right side of the entrance door?
I moved the slippers placed under the bed aside. Feeling the soft texture of the carpet on the soles of my feet, I took a step behind Jun.
However, at that moment, her voice from a closer distance pricked my ears.
“But right now, it seems like a guest has arrived, doesn’t it?”
“Ah…”
Hesitation was felt in Jun’s voice. I put my hand on my chest, which had started to beat roughly, and stopped my steps.
