The embrace emitted a refreshing scent of well-tended greenery, the fragrance typical of a well-cared-for forest. The scent, mingled with a hint of sea breeze, reminded Hyeju of reality.
“Is this not a dream? How did I get here?”
“By that,” Juwon pointed towards the pier behind him.
A chubby boat was floating at the distant pier.
“Did you come here by that? Huh, did you rent a boat just to come here?”
“Of course, something more like a yacht suits me better. But, there was no other option available for rent at the moment.”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”
Hyeju, endowed with the strange talent of interpreting scolding as praise, smacked the back of the man’s head.
“If we’re leaving tomorrow morning, why waste money?”
“Ugh. Is Oh Hyeju getting more aggressive by the day?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
“You tend to underestimate yourself. Take pride in your cooking skills.”
“….”
When Hyeju stared at him silently, Juwon muttered to himself, poking the sand with his toe.
“If you make it worthwhile, it won’t be a waste.”
“What are you saying?”
“Make my spending worthwhile, Hyeju.”
Uh, something seems off.
As soon as she had the thought, Juwon grabbed her by the nape.
“What, what is it? Where are we going?”
“To a place where you can make my spending worthwhile.”
“Huh!”
“As long as it’s not a waste of money, Hyeju.”
And so, the value of the rented boat was… whaaatttttt…
Hyeju’s cries were scattered by the sea breeze.
I’ve slept enough for today.
[Star Icon]“Is this Ruby’s room?”
“Yes. They said there’s only this room for the girls.”
Hyeju and Juwon entered the building with cat-like steps.
Jewelry’s house on this floor was used by the man on the 1st floor, and the woman on the 2nd floor.
Compared to the bustling 1st floor, the 2nd floor was a space Ruby used alone, and there was no one there.
Hyeju turned around to warn Juwon, who was coming in behind her.
“Don’t just barge in here and mess up Ruby’s precious memories. Have some decency, okay?”
“Of course, I have decency. I just lack patience.”
“….”
“Just kidding, you fool.”
Waving his hand through Hyeju’s hair, Juwon sat down on the sofa.
“I rushed over right after the meeting, so I’m a bit tired.”
Fatigue seeped into his tone.
Hyeju felt a bit sorry for someone who had come all the way here.
“Should I give you a shoulder massage?”
“No. If you touch me, I might lose my manners.”
Cancel the apology.
“There are a lot of comic books in the room. Ruby seems to like comics. Oh, all the comic books that were popular ten years ago are here?”
“They’re all romance. Boring.”
“Don’t you like romance?”
“Why would I like someone else’s love life? I’m too busy with my own love life.”
In any case, he’s my chic guy.
But when you hear the reason, it’s strangely convincing.
“Ah, this is so nice. It’s my first time being in someone else’s house like this with my oppa.”
Hyeju sat on the armrest and nestled into Juwon’s arms. Perhaps because she had been tense all day, his embrace felt even cozier.
Leaning her head on Juwon’s shoulder, Hyeju gently traced his abdomen with her hand.
When she was younger, touching someone else’s flesh used to bring a sense of comfort. But why doesn’t this man’s flesh feel the same?
“Maybe the places that should be soft are too firm.”
It feels strangely stimulating.
“Is it because it’s Ruby’s room that it’s comfortable and somewhat thrilling?”
“I haven’t done anything thrilling. What are you expecting?”
“I’m not expecting anything.”
“Just endure a bit more, Hyeju. I’ll treat you well when we get home.”
The affectionate touch as he stroked her hair was tender.
Hyeju was about to argue that she really hadn’t expected anything, but she gave up. In fact, she hadn’t expected nothing.
The two sat side by side on the sofa and read comic books.
The book Hyeju chose was a romance manga titled “Mermaids Don’t Cry.” Curious about what Juwon chose, she sneakily glanced at his dilated pupils.
“Dirty Night?”
Wow, this oppa’s taste is consistent.
Hyeju burst into laughter at the 19+ vibe emanating from the title. She didn’t realize the time passing as she watched Juwon, who claimed not to be interested in others’ love lives, shooting lasers from his eyes.
After reading their respective books for a while, Hyeju finished hers first.
Closing the last page of the comic book, she leaned her head on Juwon’s knee, who had been shooting lasers until then.
“What happened to the person who said romance was boring?”
“Don’t talk. It’s an important moment.”
“I don’t like it. Why shouldn’t I talk?”
As she playfully tickled Juwon’s thigh, he warned with a serious tone.
“Ugh, Oh Hyeju. There’s not enough time to finish reading up to the last volume.”
Although Juwon solemnly warned her, he closed the book due to the repeated teasing.
“How dirty was Dirty Night at the moment I was about to find out? What a shame.”
There wasn’t much time left to go back anyway.
Juwon put the book he was reading back on the shelf and hugged Hyeju tightly.
“Ah, I don’t want to go home.”
“Do I have to leave first?”
