“Elder sister! How do you like our photo? It turned out really well, right!”

Nurse Oh, who had been taking continuous photos from behind, asked as she held out her phone to Kim Chae Won.

Nurse Oh, who had been grumbling earlier about why they came so late, was now smiling happily again with her boyfriend.

In the loud music with strong beats where voices had to be raised to be heard, Chae Won smiled and whispered something to Nurse Oh.

Excited by the positive feedback, Nurse Oh stretched out her arm with the phone, asking Chae Won to take a picture together.

Choi Yoo Gun, leaning against the stand bar, stared intently at Chae Won while holding a cocktail glass.

How many guys had he caught stealing glances at Chae Won when he casually turned his gaze?

Unaware of his burning heart, Chae Won was smiling prettily and taking photos with Nurse Oh.

“Elder brother, please have some of this too.”

The man who put down a cup of fruit on the table was Park Oh Won, Nurse Oh’s boyfriend.

Although they met for a different purpose, he surprisingly found common ground with Park Oh Won, who said he ran a gym.

Except for the unnecessary joke about his name being Oh Won and Yoo Gun being “hyungnim” because it sounded higher, he wasn’t bad.

“Elder sister! Elder sister! Let’s go inside and swim!”

“Go play with Oh Won. I’m not really into swimming.”

“Then we’ll go in by ourselves! Elder sister, join us if you change your mind!”

Chae Won smiled and reached for her glass, her eyes meeting Yoo Gun’s.

Certainly, since Yoo Gun had stood beside her, no man had approached, only looking.

Yoo Gun took a sip of his cocktail with his sculptured profile, then turned his head with an indifferent expression.

“Feeling at ease now that they’re gone?”

“Their scampering was a bit funny, but I’m not too happy thinking they might be laughing somewhere else in this hotel.”

“They won’t be able to do that.”

“…Pardon?”

“Because I’ve completely swept them out of this hotel.”

Chae Won’s voice asking again was drowned out by the heightened music.

With the pounding beats shaking their chests and the loud music, normal conversation seemed difficult here.

Yoo Gun smiled slightly and took another sip of his cocktail, and Chae Won soon picked up her cocktail glass, looking ahead.

“Eek! Are you going to do this?”

Nurse Oh and her boyfriend who had gone into the water were excited playing in the water.

While splashing water at each other, Nurse Oh playfully threw water at Chae Won with both hands.

“Oh.”

Surprised by the more-than-expected water droplets, Chae Won looked up, and Nurse Oh held her stomach laughing.

It was a signal to come in, but Chae Won just smiled lightly and shook her head.

Chae Won stood straight at the stand bar again. Yoo Gun, who had been watching her, picked up a towel from the sun bed.

He stood facing her intending to wipe her off, but the water droplets that had trickled down her forehead and ear flowed down Chae Won’s collarbone.

Yoo Gun, who had been slowly gazing at the sensual sight, soon turned his head forward as if looking away and handed her the towel.

“Thank you.”

Chae Won took Yoo Gun’s towel and quickly wiped off the moisture.

Feeling his throat dry, Yoo Gun picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip.

“Stop drinking.”

At that moment, Chae Won grabbed Yoo Gun’s glass.

When Yoo Gun turned his head, she thought he hadn’t heard and brought her lips close to his ear.

“Stop drinking. Um, we need to take pictures later. And since alcohol isn’t good for your body, if you’re going to drink, non-alcoholic would be better. I’ll just bring you some.”

Her red lips stimulated his ear before quickly moving away.

Whether it was really because of the alcohol, or because Kim Chae Won had stimulated him, desire that doesn’t usually stir except in extreme situations swirled hotly.

As Chae Won moved away, several men who had been watching her rolled their eyes and met Yoo Gun’s gaze.

“Kim Chae Won.”

He called out, but his voice was lost in the music.

Knowing nothing, she was walking alone to bring Yoo Gun a non-alcoholic cocktail, showing off her fatally attractive back view.

“Hah…”

Another exception clause was added to the law that Kim Chae Won’s words were law.

It seems he won’t be able to easily allow her to go to the pool to play from now on.

Yoo Gun downed the remaining alcohol and grabbed Chae Won’s shoulder with an expressionless face.

While she was looking on with a puzzled expression, a white robe covered Chae Won’s shoulders.

After tightly sealing her body with the ties on both sides, Yoo Gun finally exhaled as if satisfied and pulled Chae Won.

“Let’s go.”

Chae Won turned her head and asked with a clueless expression.

“Where to?”

“Didn’t you say we should take pictures?”

Chae Won blinked a couple of times and then quickly tensed up, opening her eyes wide.

“Come to think of it, I think we can take pictures here.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Why?”

“It annoys me to see other bastards glancing at your body.”

She wanted to say that she couldn’t see the women looking at his body, but Chae Won’s lips closed as he approached her ear.

“Let’s go, I want to be alone with you.”

Chae Won and Yoo Gun’s gazes connected for a long moment.

Whoosh. Bang! Bang! Brilliant fireworks burst in succession.

They were getting further and further away from the pool party, but the crowd’s wild cheers showed no signs of dying down.

“A cello concert, it’s been a while since I’ve been to a performance like this. I think this is much better than the chaotic pool party.”

Go Ro Na spoke as gently as possible while watching Jenny’s sulking face.

“I prefer the pool, this is so annoying because of your elder brother.”

Go Ro Na bit her lip with a displeased expression as she stared at the back of Jenny’s head as she walked grumbling.

It would be nice if he said something as an elder brother, but Noh Jae Min was too busy being vigilant of his surroundings, wearing sunglasses and a mask.

“We booked for 2 nights and 3 days, so we can go tomorrow, babe.”

Ho Tae placated Jenny with his usual easy-going manner.

Go Ro Na brightened up at this unknown fact.

“Oh my, you booked for 2 nights and 3 days. Then Jenny, you can go again tomorrow after we watch the cello concert today.”

Jenny’s lips were still pouting, but she clearly didn’t grumble more, perhaps because it was her boyfriend who said it.

“Oh, why is grandmother calling at this hour?”

Ho Tae, who had been walking while taking care of Jenny, suddenly stopped.

This caused everyone to stop walking.

“Just a moment, let me take this call. Yes, grandmother, it’s Ho Tae.”

− You bastard, are you at K Hotel?

“Huh, how did you know? I haven’t greeted uncle yet.”

− Are you just playing around all day instead of working on the business plan I told you to do?

Ho Tae was startled by the unusually loud voice and pulled the phone away from his ear.

“No, no, grandmother. I’m always working on the business plan. How could you say I’m just playing around.”

− Don’t ruin everything when it’s almost done, you bastard. Get your ass back here right now!

“Almost done? But I was planning to see uncle after a long time and spend some vacation time with our Jenny.”

− I told Young Tae to cancel all the rooms booked under your name today, so know that and get your ass back here right now! I’m praying here with a bowl of water, how dare you interfere!

“What? Why did you set out a bowl of water? No, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying right now.”

The call ended along with Kim lady’s loud voice.

“Grand-grandmother? Hello?”

After confirming the call had ended, Ho Tae stared at his phone with a blank expression and then let out an exasperated sigh.

“Wow, what’s wrong with grandmother, really?”

Jenny, who had been watching, grabbed Ho Tae’s arm with wide eyes.

“Babe, what’s wrong?”

“I don’t understand a single word she’s saying! She’s just telling me to come back right this instant no matter what. Is this really severe dementia or what?”

“What? We haven’t even properly enjoyed ourselves yet, where are we going back to? Babe, you’re not really going, right? You said grandmother has dementia!”

“You know the situation at our house, right? If grandmother says to gather immediately, we have to go right away without saying a word. Ah, shit, what should we do… If it’s like this, elder brother’s room was also booked under my name, so elder brother will have to leave too.”

Go Ro Na, who had been listening quietly, raised her eyebrows high.

“Us, us too?”

“She said she’s canceling all the rooms under my name. It seems today just isn’t our day. Ahhh.”

“No, how did this.”

“Anyway, I think I need to go to grandmother right now. Elder brother, then I’ll go first with Jenny, so please pack your things slowly and come out.”

As Ho Tae ran off urgently with Jenny, Go Ro Na, left behind, moved her lips with the same bewildered expression.

“No, wait… Ha, what is this!”

Noh Jae Min, who had been distracted being vigilant of his surroundings, finally turned his head towards Go Ro Na.

“Uh, since it’s come to this, let’s go home. Today’s not our day.”

It feels like everything falls apart just by encountering Kim Hee Joo, even though they came to enjoy themselves for once.

Go Ro Na bit her lip tightly and then released it at the time that wasn’t going as planned.

As she was about to turn around, unable to do anything about the cello concert or anything else, a familiar face came into view at the end of her gaze as she looked back with regret.

“Huh? That man…”

The person seen through the closing elevator doors just now

“What’s wrong?”

“…It was that man, the one who left with Kim Hee Joo.”

Go Ro Na looked at the elevator with suspicious eyes as she was forcibly led away by Noh Jae Min, who was saying what nonsense was she talking about.

She remembers because it wasn’t a common face.

It was definitely that man.

*

She had planned to take a shower first, change clothes and take pictures, and then have a late dinner followed by a walk, but as soon as she entered the room, Kim Chae Won’s mind went blank.

After the sound of the door slamming shut, Chae Won couldn’t say or think anything.

She could only breathe heavily, leaning against the wall due to his kiss.

Chae Won couldn’t come to her senses at Choi Yoo Gun’s unrestrained kiss, like someone quenching their thirst.

A soft and sensual feeling that felt unfamiliar completely enveloped Chae Won.

Chae Won, who had been kissing with her chin lifted, trapped between the cold wall and Yoo Gun’s body, slowly opened her eyes as she felt a momentary distance as if giving her a chance to breathe.

He gently wiped the saliva from the corner of Chae Won’s mouth, staying at a close distance as if about to kiss again at any moment.

“The original plan was to have you all to myself all day.”

Chae Won raised her gaze from his lips to his eyes.

“I’ve suffered quite a loss today. Makes me want compensation.”

Between heavy breaths, the robe tie around Chae Won’s waist came undone.

Whoosh. With Yoo Gun’s light movement, the robe that had been wrapped around Chae Won fell helplessly.

Yoo Gun’s gaze naturally flowed down to the red bikini suddenly revealed.

Looking at the man’s eyes full of desire, Chae Won thought it was an unavoidable time.

And she didn’t want to avoid it either.

The hot emotion that had suddenly arisen was tightly embracing him as he approached.

“…Shower, first.”

Yoo Gun, who had been silently watching, led Chae Won’s arm and entered the shower room.

As if he would do anything she said, he reacted quickly.

Only the place had changed, but he stayed at a distance where he seemed about to kiss at any moment, just like before, with his arms wrapped around Chae Won’s waist.

“And?”

Chae Won moved her eyes slightly in embarrassment.

It wasn’t a suggestion to do it together, but he came in together as if it was natural and asked, so she didn’t know what to say, her mind going blank.

“And?”

Chae Won’s tension rose to the point where she was conscious of every inhale and exhale at his intense gaze.

“And… I didn’t mean to shower together.”

He looked at Chae Won’s lips with an absorbed gaze before looking into her eyes again.

“Why?”

Why, he asks. While making a dumb expression at the somewhat ridiculous question, he smiled slightly and pressed his lips against hers again.

The deeper he delved, the hotter Chae Won’s chest burned.

“Ha.”

When he pulled her waist close, their stomachs and chests stuck together.

Even in the increasingly rapid breaths, they couldn’t stop kissing.

Closer. Just a little more.

Even while touching this much, a thirst to touch more rippled.

Yoo Gun’s hands, which had been caressing Chae Won’s waist and back, moved to her nape.

With a snap, he undid Chae Won’s swimsuit neck holder.

Chae Won straightened her waist, slightly startled.

Yoo Gun’s moist lips followed along where the strap had slid down with a swoosh.

Chae Won, who had been breathing heavily due to him pressing his body and lips without giving her time to be flustered, curled her toes tightly at the hot sensation she felt for the first time.
