Date Me! - Chapter 52
Ina, who had fallen asleep as if she had fainted, stirred and opened her eyes just after 8 am.
Even in her hazy consciousness, she could feel Juwon’s warm embrace holding her.
Gently lifting her eyes, she saw Juwon’s face sleeping quietly.
Ina carefully removed Juwon’s arm that was resting on her waist and raised her upper body.
Then she looked closely at Juwon’s sleeping face.
Deep, intense eyes with long eyelashes, a splendid nose bridge that the creator must have spent days crafting, and below that, extremely attractive sexy lips…
Ina unknowingly swallowed as she stared at his lips.
These lips had showered affection all over her body throughout the night, as if stamping it.
It felt like the sensual touch of these alluring lips still lingered on her body.
Although her entire body felt heavy from being tormented all night by this sculpture, it had been a night of bursting happiness.
Juwon’s passionate gestures, drenched in sweat, constantly craving love in a sensual state.
Juwon’s heated face looking down at her with eyes that seemed to say he could die from how lovable she was.
It was a night when she could feel with her whole body how overwhelmingly happy it is to be born a woman and be loved by a man.
Ina smiled and gently reached out to brush back Juwon’s bangs.
This revealed his handsome forehead.
How could even his forehead be so handsome… He really was too perfect, wondering whose son he was.
The fact that this perfect man was her man… made her heart swell.
As she quietly gazed at the sleeping Juwon for a while, she thought he looked just like a prince.
“Really… He’s the very image of a sleeping prince in the forest. I should kiss him before anyone else sees.”
Ina muttered to herself as she gently lowered her head and gave Juwon’s lips a quick kiss.
And just as she was about to quietly slip out of bed, putting one leg down…
“Where are you going?”
As Juwon’s languid voice was heard, a large hand suddenly grabbed Ina’s waist.
“Oh my!”
Ina cried out in surprise as Juwon tightly embraced her waist.
Then, with eyes still not fully awake, he looked down at Ina and asked.
“Where were you trying to go, leaving me alone?”
“Oh, when did you wake up?”
As the surprised Ina asked, Juwon smiled and kissed her lips.
“Sleeping prince in the forest, huh? So you were trying to wake me with a kiss?”
“Y-You heard that? Hahaha…”
As Ina laughed awkwardly in embarrassment, Juwon chuckled.
“If I’m the sleeping prince in the forest, are you Thumbelina?”
Ina blinked her eyes and then burst out laughing incredulously.
“Where have you seen a Thumbelina this big? You’d be crushed like a toad.”
Juwon laughed heartily and kissed the bridge of Ina’s nose.
“Why? To my eyes, you’re even cuter than Thumbelina.”
Feeling embarrassed, Ina lightly tapped Juwon’s chest and said.
“You… I think you’re seeing through rose-colored glasses too much.”
“Really? But what can I do? I think I’ll stay this way.”
At Juwon’s cheeky words, Ina tapped his chest again, and Juwon laughed as he took her hand.
“How’s your body? Are you okay?”
“How… could I be okay?”
As Ina spoke with narrowed eyes, Juwon hugged her tightly and said.
“I’m sorry. It was really tough, wasn’t it? But it felt so good I couldn’t control myself. Next time, I’ll try to pace myself better.”
Ina’s face reddened at the word ‘pace,’ and she bit her lip slightly.
“We overdid it last night, so let’s rest well until lunchtime. We’ll eat something delicious too.”
“Okay.”
Ina replied as she snuggled into Juwon’s warm embrace.
“When you snuggle like this… it makes me struggle again, you know?”
“Huh?”
When Ina looked up, she could see the heat gathering in Juwon’s eyes.
Startled, Ina quickly escaped from Juwon’s arms and lowered her legs off the bed.
And the moment she stood up, a heavy pain shot through her lower body, causing Ina to sit back down on the bed.
Seeing this, Juwon sat up with concerned eyes.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurting somewhere?”
Ina shook her head instead of answering, and Juwon hugged her from behind.
“I’m sorry. I think I pushed you too hard yesterday.”
“No, I’m fine.”
Ina said with a smile, but the strain was evident on her face.
Juwon looked at Ina with tender eyes, then got off the bed.
He then showed his broad back as he knelt in front of Ina.
“Come on. Get on my back.”
“Huh?”
As Ina asked with round eyes, Juwon patted his back and said.
“You were overworked last night because of me, so today I’ll be your horse.”
“Horse?”
“Yeah. Don’t walk today. I’ll carry you around all day.”
“What? I’m not that bad. Why are you suddenly treating me like a patient?”
Ina laughed and slapped Juwon’s back.
“Just get on, will you? The ride quality should be pretty good.”
“What? Are you a car or something? Talking about ride quality?”
“I told you, I’m a horse. Your horse.”
Ina chuckled, and Juwon grabbed her hands and pulled her onto his back.
As Ina found herself on Juwon’s broad back, he cupped her bottom and stood up abruptly.
“Oh, oh?”
Ina looked around with wide eyes at the suddenly elevated view, much higher than her usual eye level.
“Wow, it’s so high… So this is how you see the world?”
Juwon chuckled as he heard Ina’s voice filled with wonder.
“But our Ina is too light. What should we do about how light you are?”
“Don’t lie.”
“It’s true! It’s like I’m carrying a feather.”
At Juwon’s cheeky words, Ina pulled his ears, making him laugh.
Soon, Juwon opened the door and went out, turning his head back to ask Ina.
“Where should we go? Bathroom? Kitchen?”
“Bathroom. Let’s brush teeth first.”
“Alright.”
Juwon headed to the bathroom with Ina on his back.
Opening the bathroom door and entering, Juwon gently set Ina down.
Then he put toothpaste on Ina’s toothbrush and handed it to her, making her chuckle.
“What? Isn’t this service a bit too much?”
“Too much? Should I brush your teeth for you too?”
“No, thank you.”
As Ina quickly put the toothbrush in her mouth, Juwon chuckled and put toothpaste on his own toothbrush.
Standing side by side brushing their teeth in front of the mirror, Ina felt a strange sensation.
It finally felt real that she and Juwon were lovers, and her heart fluttered at the fact that this wonderful man standing next to her was her man.
“What should we eat for breakfast?”
“Let’s eat something simple.”
“Okay. Got it.”
After finishing brushing their teeth and washing their faces together, Juwon turned his back again and sat down.
“Oh my. It’s okay. You don’t have to carry me anymore.”
But Juwon immediately pulled Ina’s waist and picked her up on his back, slowly standing up.
“I told you I’m not a patient.”
As Ina grumbled with embarrassment, Juwon patted her bottom and said.
“Be a patient. Just for today.”
Opening the bathroom door and going out, they could see the clear sky through the living room’s large windows.
“Wow. The weather is really nice today.”
At Ina’s words, Juwon went to the window to look outside.
Although the morning air was chilly, the sky looked blue and clear.
“Yeah. The weather is nice.”
Saying that, Juwon headed to the kitchen with Ina on his back.
Opening the refrigerator door and scanning the contents, Juwon looked up at Ina on his back and asked.
“What should I make? Toast? Kimchi fried rice?”
“Toast.”
“Okay.”
Juwon supported Ina’s bottom with one hand and took out bread with the other, and Ina tapped his shoulder.
“What? Are you going to keep carrying me? Put me down now.”
“I can do it while carrying you.”
“What? Am I a baby?”
Then Juwon started bouncing gently as if soothing a baby, patting Ina’s bottom.
“Hey! Really!”
Embarrassed, Ina pulled both of Juwon’s ears, shouting at him to put her down quickly, and Juwon laughed heartily before reluctantly setting her down.
As Ina sat on a kitchen chair, touching her reddened cheeks, Juwon poured a glass of milk and placed it in front of her.
“Drink this while you wait. I’ll make it quickly.”
Ina gulped down the cool milk Juwon had given her, calming her heated insides.
Her heart was pounding so hard, and while the cause was clear, the very person causing it was preparing breakfast with a relaxed smile on his face.
As she watched him, a fluttering feeling once again rose in Ina’s heart.
A little later, the two had a simple meal while chatting about various things.
After finishing the toast and drinking the remaining coffee, Juwon asked.
“Should we bring some of your clothes to my place?”
“Huh? My clothes?”
“Yeah.”
“Why suddenly?”
“You’ll be staying over often now, so wouldn’t it be convenient to have some of your clothes there?”
“…”
Instead of answering, Ina’s cheeks turned red, and Juwon smiled as he caressed her cheek.
“Why? Are you not going to stay over? I’d like to spend weekends together if possible.”
Ina looked at her milk glass and mumbled.
“No. I… want to spend weekends together too.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
Ina nodded shyly.
“Then shall we bring some of your clothes to my place tomorrow?”
“Okay. But let’s bring some of your clothes to my place too.”
“My clothes too?”
“Yeah. You can stay at my place sometimes too.”
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
Juwon smiled and lightly tapped Ina’s cheek.
After having lunch and relaxing at Juwon’s place, it was only around 5 PM when Juwon drove Ina home.
Parking in front of Ina’s house, Juwon stroked her cheek and said.
“Have fun with your friends and don’t drink too much. Okay?”
“Okay.”
Ina nodded and held Juwon’s hand that was touching her cheek.
Today, she was going to have two friends coming up from Yeosu and Hyunju, making four of them staying at Ina’s place.
The Yeosu friends, Hayoon and Yejin, were known for their drinking capacity, so they were planning to drink quite a lot tonight, but Ina just nodded like a good child, knowing Juwon would only nag if he knew.
Juwon also had a meeting with his college friends scheduled at 6 PM.
After missing the college alumni gathering, which happens about three times a year, for two consecutive years, there had been a lot of complaints.
Especially with Hojun’s earnest request saying that the female classmates had been particularly vocal about their disappointment, he couldn’t miss it this time.
“Call me after your friends leave tomorrow. I’ll come pick you up.”
“Well… I’m not sure what time they’ll leave.”
“Surely they won’t stay until night, right?”
“Yeah, that’s true. They have to go to work on Monday too.”
“Anyway, call me. Whether it’s for lunch or dinner, we should see each other.”
“Okay. Got it.”
“Then go in and have a good time with your friends.”
“Okay. You have a good time with your classmates too. Drink moderately.”
“I will.”
Ina kissed Juwon’s smiling cheek, got out of the car, and waved.

Save yourself from story hunger — the novel below will blow your mind!
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
