Although it had already solidified and wouldn’t likely stain anything, she still hoped he wouldn’t touch it. She always wanted him to touch her hair, which was soft and shiny.
“After shaving my head, you see. After work, my hair gets really messy. Dust sticks to the hair products.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Taesang said as he approached again. Dajeong firmly pushed his chest.
“No. Because I’ll wash it. I’ll strictly forbid any approach until then.”
Dajeong said quickly as she turned around. However, due to his arms wrapped around her waist, she couldn’t take a single step.
She tapped his hand lightly, and he bent over to warmly wrap his arms around her.
“You shouldn’t use your hand.”
The close proximity made his gentle voice echo in her ears.
“But still…”
“I’ll take care of your hair.”
“What? No, it’s okay. I can do it with one hand.”
Dajeong responded in surprise.
There’s no place on my body where his hands haven’t touched, but still, this was a slightly different matter. Taesang’s touch was enough to romantically sweep through my hair.
“I want to do this.”
“W-why would you want to do that…”
Dajeong muttered hesitantly, her voice filled with embarrassment. Taesang gently rested his head on her small shoulder.
“Because it’s you. I like touching your hair, arranging it—everything.”
“…”
Expecting an answer like it might hurt or he shouldn’t do it, Dajeong momentarily lost her words.
“I’m wearing a gown. I’ll just touch your hair.”
Taesang said, loosening his arms. It felt like an invitation to leave quickly. Dajeong slowly turned to look up at him.
His calm face only had a slight curve on his lips.
It was a face sincerely enjoying it. Facing his anticipating eyes, she felt an awkward sensation rising within her.
What exactly did he want to do by touching my hair?
Dajeong’s neck turned slightly red without her noticing.
Seeing this, Taesang’s eyes softened gently. He bent his waist considerably and met her gaze.
“Why are you so shy…”
“…”
“My Dajeong.”
For a moment, it felt like my heart was being squeezed tightly.
Mine. His words declaring possession made her heart flutter. It felt like her thoughts were entwining with his in her head.
It was a more intense experience than sharing a breath in a kiss or spending the night together.
Gradually, a warm heat covered both cheeks.
“I’ll call you later. Come in when I call.”
Dajeong left only that sentence and disappeared as if running away.
In the mist-filled bathroom.
After finishing the shower, Dajeong put on a shower gown hanging on the wall. Looking into the mirror, her slightly flushed face caught her eye.
Dajeong pressed her cheek firmly with the back of her hand. If she heard such words and saw such a look again, her heart might really melt this time.
“I-I’m done…”
Dajeong softly opened the door.
Taesang was checking documents in the room across from the bathroom. Opening the door and working, he quickly cleared the table and stood up as soon as he heard Dajeong’s voice.
Thunk.
Taesang, who came into the bathroom, lightly closed the door. He stood in the middle, glancing around.
“Sit here.”
He pointed to the edge of the white marble bathtub.
Taesang sat down, putting one leg into the bathtub. Then, he pulled out the connected showerhead structure and turned on the water.
Dajeong, feeling a bit awkward, entered and sat down. As she leaned back, hugging her knees with both arms, her awkward feelings seemed to settle a bit.
Swish.
“…”
Though the water kept flowing, she didn’t feel it on her head. It seemed like he was sprinkling water onto his palm.
It started lukewarm, then got a little warmer. The temperature of the water brushing against her toes changed gradually. Dajeong, feeling the gentle stream tickling her, curled her toes.
“The water will touch you.”
With a soft voice, warm water flowed down from above. It wasn’t sprayed; it felt more like a gentle flow. It seemed like he was slowly letting the collected water from his palm flow.
“Is it too hot?”
“No, it’s just right.”
Dajeong closed her eyes, enjoying the gentle massage. Then, Taesang took Dajeong’s head and gently tilted it backward.
As he guided her neck, his firm thigh touched the back of her head when she leaned back. Dajeong comfortably leaned on him, relaxing her muscles.
Taesang brought the showerhead, adjusting the pressure, closer to her head. Warm water sprayed out, quickly rinsing her long hair.
He intricately let the water flow into the strands, his fingers seeming to swim through them.
“If it hurts, let me know.”
“…”
Dajeong smiled with her eyes closed.
Gentle water pressure, slow and careful movements. It was hard to understand what he was worrying about.
“Why are you smiling?”
He asked, poking her with the corner of his mouth. Dajeong opened her mouth lightly, bursting into a smile like a blooming flower bud.
“Puppies don’t get washed like this.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Perhaps reassured by that sound, Taesang exerted a bit more force on his fingertips and continued moving.
The sound of water splashing and his voice, sporadically audible. Thanks to the darkened vision, all her senses became more acute.
As her hair soaked through, Taesang squeezed shampoo into his palm. A refreshing sensation touched her, and his long fingers moved delicately.
The white steam quickly became sweet.
Dajeong exhaled a warm breath. The fluffy foam and the right amount of pressure made her gradually feel lethargic.
