When Ina stared at Juwon with a tense face, Juwon slowly walked towards Ina.

Then, gazing at Ina with his pitch-black eyes, he gently reached out his hand.

After softly caressing Ina’s cheek, he quietly pulled her waist closer.

Juwon, who fully embraced Ina in his broad chest, tightened his strong arms.

The intense heat from his arms was fully transmitted to Ina.

Ina, listening to the sound of her own heart starting to pound, quietly opened her mouth.

“Um, Juwon. Come to think of it… I think I would have felt bad too if I were you.”

Juwon slightly released Ina from his embrace and looked down at her.

“Watching an erotic movie with another man… There’s no way you’d feel good about it. I think I’d feel the same.”

“Ina.”

Juwon called Ina’s name softly.

As Ina looked up at Juwon, he spoke while gazing into her eyes.

“I’m sorry for being petty.”

Ina’s eyes widened.

“You were surprised when I suddenly left earlier, right? I didn’t know I had such a petty side in me. It was the first time I felt such an emotion, so I think I was flustered. That’s why I went out for a bit to get some air. But as I walked and thought about it, I realized that was before you started dating me, so it shouldn’t have been my business who you watched movies with, but… just knowing you watched that kind of movie with that guy made me angry without realizing it. I’m sorry.”

“Ah, no. I think I would have been angry too if I were you. I completely understand how you feel.”

As Ina spoke with wide eyes, Juwon gazed at her chestnut-colored eyes and smiled.

“Our Ina, you’re not only pretty but also so generous. What should I do?”

“What, what should you do…”

Ina mumbled in response, her cheeks turning red.

“But, come to think of it, it’s not really something to get so angry about.”

“Huh?”

Wondering what he meant, Ina looked up at Juwon again.

Juwon smiled and playfully touched Ina’s lower lip with his index finger.

“That guy only watched an erotic movie with you, but I can actually do it.”

“Huh? Do what?”

“Erotic things.”

At Juwon’s words, whispered so secretively, Ina’s eyes grew as big as saucers.

“Right?”

When Juwon asked in a whispering voice as if confirming, Ina swallowed hard and answered.

“Huh? Well… I, I guess so?”

Seeing Ina unable to make eye contact while answering, Juwon burst into laughter.

Then he looked down at Ina with a smile on his lips.

“Really… Why are you so cute?”

Juwon stroked Ina’s cute cheek and then lowered his head to give her a quick kiss on the lips.

As Ina’s cheeks reddened, he immediately captured her soft lips in a sweet kiss.

After a few sweet kisses, he intensified, freely exploring inside Ina’s mouth and sucking on her lips.

Juwon’s dizzying kiss caused Ina’s body to slowly move backward until she hit the bed, and at that moment, Juwon’s weight made Ina fall back onto the bed.

As Juwon’s sturdy build added weight, the mattress sank deeply and then bounced back up.

Juwon looked down at Ina with gentle eyes, holding her in his arms.

With a pounding heart, Ina looked up at Juwon as well.

Juwon gazed at Ina’s moistened lips before lowering his head again.

And gently cupping Ina’s cheek, he began to explore her lips once more.

On this quiet night,

The room was filled with Juwon’s fierce, beast-like breaths as he savored Ina’s lips.

Ina, receiving Juwon’s sensual and intense kisses, let out a breathy sigh.

Then Juwon pulled away from her lips and looked down at her.

Ina’s beautiful face was glowing with passion.

Juwon lowered his head to kiss Ina’s white, slender neck and gently bit it.

As a heated breath escaped Ina’s lips, Juwon moved his lips to the other side of her neck and slipped his hand under her T-shirt.

While continuously kissing Ina’s fragile neck that smelled sweet, he caressed her soft waist.

Last time, he had to stop at this point, but not today.

Today, Juwon was determined not to stop even if an army of a million invaded.

Juwon’s hand, burning with strong will, moved higher inside the T-shirt.

At that quick movement, Ina’s eyes flew open.

“Ah…”

Ina looked up at Juwon with a bewildered gaze.

Juwon’s eyes were flickering with burning desire.

“…Why? Not allowed?”

Juwon’s appearance as he asked this looked like a retriever whining for permission from its owner with a treat right in front of it.

For a moment, Ina almost said it was okay, but she couldn’t let go of her rational mind.

“Ah, it’s not that it’s not allowed, but… Juhee is in the next room, so I’m too… conscious of that.”

Juwon looked down at Ina without saying anything, then let out a sigh so deep it felt like the bed could sink and be buried deep underground.

Then he collapsed onto Ina, hugged her, and muttered through gritted teeth.

“Ah… Lee Juhee, that girl, really.”

Somehow finding that grumbling cute, Ina chuckled and stroked Juwon’s head as he lay on top of her.

Although Juwon was displeased with the current situation, he closed his eyes at Ina’s gentle touch stroking his hair.

After some time passed, Juwon lifted his head and looked down at Ina, asking.

“Then, next time, I don’t have to hold back, right?”

“Huh?”

“If I endure today, stabbing my thigh, next time I don’t have to hold back, right?”

Juwon asked with a firm expression as if possessed by the spirit of a virtuous woman.

“Uh, that… um.”

Ina silently looked up at Juwon’s sculpture-like face.

Right… How could I refuse this handsome face…

“…Yes.”

As Ina answered shyly with a reddened face, the corners of Juwon’s mouth turned up.

“Okay. Then I’ll try my best to hold back today.”

Then he lay down next to Ina and pulled her into his arms.

“Then let’s just sleep like this, hugging. Juhee promised not to barge in today anyway.”

Ina couldn’t help but laugh at Juwon’s words, treating Juhee like an enemy commander despite having spent 10 months together in the same womb.

Juwon, looking down at the laughing Ina, hugged her tighter.

“Are you sleepy? Let’s go to sleep now.”

“Okay. You should sleep soon too.”

“Yeah… I’m not sure if I’ll be able to sleep, but I’ll try.”

Juwon gave Ina a quick kiss on the forehead and pulled up the blanket to cover her up to her neck.

Sharing a blanket with Juwon made Ina feel strange.

It felt like they had become newlyweds, and her heart started to flutter.

Trying to calm her excited heart, Ina closed her eyes and soon fell asleep, breathing softly.

Juwon, taking in Ina’s beautiful sleeping face, also slowly closed his eyes.

* * *

Waking up around 6:30 in the morning, Juwon gave a light kiss on Ina’s cheek before slipping out of bed.

There was no sound from Juhee either, so she must still be sleeping.

Juwon quietly went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

Remembering Juhee’s wish for street toast the night before, he opened the vegetable compartment.

Fortunately, all the basic ingredients were there.

Juwon took out cabbage, carrots, and onions, chopped them finely, then beat eggs and added a pinch of salt and pepper before mixing. Next, he fried the batter appetizingly, then buttered the frying pan and toasted the bread until golden brown.

He placed the thick egg patty on the bread, added a slice of cheese, and sprinkled a little ketchup and sugar. Just as he finished making three servings of toast, Ina came out of the small room.

“When did you wake up?”

Ina asked with wide eyes, watching the morning cooking show unfolding in the kitchen.

“About 30 minutes ago. Can you go wake up Juhee?”

Ina nodded, looking at the toast that was wildly stimulating her sense of smell.

Carefully opening the door to the main bedroom, she saw Juhee still sleeping.

Ina sat down gently beside the bed, smiling.

“Juhee. Wake up. It’s morning.”

At Ina’s voice, Juhee stirred and slowly opened her eyes, half-asleep.

“What time is it?”

When Juhee asked in a husky voice, Ina told her it was 7:10.

Juhee rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed.

“I think I slept alone comfortably in this bed last night. Did you make up with Juwon?”

“Yeah. Thanks to you…”

Ina answered with a slight, embarrassed smile.

“What do you mean, thanks to me? What would Lee Juwon do if he didn’t lower his head? Despite being thoroughly in the weaker position.”

Juhee said firmly as she got out of bed.

When Juhee went to the kitchen with Ina and saw the toast Juwon had made, she immediately changed her attitude.

“Oh! Our Ju! This sister said she wanted street toast, and you really made it? Wow! Our Ju is really the best! The best! Well done, well done! That’s why you’re my brother~”

Juhee sang and even danced joyfully.

“Hurry up and sit down. We both need to get ready for work after eating this.”

At that, Juhee stopped her movements and quickly came to sit down.

Juwon poured milk into cups and handed them to the two women.

“After eating this, let’s go home. I need to change clothes and go to work.”

“Okay. Got it. Then today, I just need to be there when Ina gets off work, right?”

Juhee asked, taking a bite of her toast.

“Yeah. I’ll send you a message. Come out at the right time. Don’t come out too early and wait.”

“Okay. Got it.”

“I might have to work overtime today.”

At Juwon’s words, Juhee nodded.

“That’s okay. You work hard. I’ll have an exciting date for your share too. Hehehe.”

As sauce smeared around Juhee’s mouth while she laughed mischievously, Ina wiped Juhee’s mouth, smiling.

Juwon watched that scene with a displeased look.

‘What exciting date, I’m the one who can’t get excited because of someone right now.’

Then he opened his mouth wide and devoured the toast in his hand as if it were Juhee.

Only after swallowing the toast did Juwon speak to the two in a calm voice.

“Then you two have dinner and maybe some tea. I’ll come pick you up as soon as I’m done.”

“Okay. Got it.”

Shortly after, Juhee finished her toast and got up, and the two prepared to leave.

“Ina. Have a good day at work, and we’ll see each other for dinner later. Okay?”

As Juhee held Ina’s hand and spoke, Ina nodded with a smile.

“Yeah. Okay. I’ll send a message in advance if I’m going to be late.”

“Okay. Got it. See you later.”

Ina followed the two as they headed to the entrance.

Juwon stroked Ina’s cheek once with a face full of regret.

“Have a good day at work, and I’ll come pick you up tonight.”

“Okay. You have a good day at work too, and see you later.”

Juwon looked at Ina with loving eyes before opening the front door.
