Juwon had just showered; a towel was wrapped around his neck, and water droplets were falling from his wet hair.
“Hey, when did you wake up?” Ina asked with a trembling voice.
“About 30 minutes ago,” Juwon replied, pulling Ina closer and hugging her silently.
As Ina nestled into Juwon’s broad chest, the sweet scent of cherry shampoo wafted through the air.
“I like the smell of your shampoo,” Ina said with a smile, prompting Juwon to nod and lower his head to look at Ina.
“I like it too. How about you?” Juwon whispered, and suddenly he lifted Ina, embracing her around the waist.
“What? What are you doing?” Ina exclaimed.
“Kissing,” Juwon answered, simultaneously pulling Ina’s neck closer and biting her upper lip.
Ina’s eyes widened, and she quickly glanced toward the bedroom door, worried about what would happen if Juwon’s wife, Joohee, walked in. But the heat radiating from Juwon’s intense kiss made Ina close her eyes tightly.
The morning kiss at 9:30 AM, the first in her life without her hair, was as passionate and hot as the one at 9:30 PM. Ina felt as if she were surrounded by a steamy haze, imagining smoke rising from Juwon’s body, emitting constant heat.
“Um…”
As Ina, struggling to breathe, pulled on Juwon’s arm during the intense kiss, he released her lips and looked at her.
Droplets of water from Juwon’s hair were falling onto Ina’s cheek. Juwon wiped the moisture gently with his soft touch and then supported his hand on Ina’s back, laying her down on the dining table.
As surprised Ina’s eyes widened, Juwon smiled and whispered, “Round 2.” He immediately lowered his upper body, launching the second attack.
Trapped in Juwon’s embrace, Ina had no chance to resist and accepted the sweetest attack in the world without any resistance. The heat from the second round was even more intense than the first.
As Ina’s mind became hazy with the continuous assault, Juwon slid his hand down, and beneath the loose T-shirt she was wearing. The moment his hand softly caressed Ina’s waist, she opened her eyes wide.
Quickly removing his lips, Ina blinked and asked with her eyes, ‘Teacher, was this not part of the plan?’
Reading her gaze, Juwon chuckled and whispered into Ina’s ear, “Always close the doors when letting the water in.”
Just as his hand moved higher, the sound of the bedroom door opening reached them. The eyes of the two people facing each other widened simultaneously, and without a word, they swiftly separated.
The heat of the second round was hotter than the first, and the Irish dining table warmed up.
As Ina’s mind became hazy from the consecutive attacks, Juwon slid his hand down that had been caressing Ina’s cheek.
Then Ina swiftly slid her hand beneath the loose T-shirt she was wearing.
The moment Ina gently caressed her soft waist, her eyes widened abruptly.
Ina quickly parted her lips and blinked, asking with her eyes, ‘Teacher, was this not part of the plan?’
Reading her gaze, Juwon chuckled and whispered into Ina’s ear, “You should block the water when it comes in.”
Boldly moving his hand higher, the sound of the bedroom door opening reached them.
Facing each other, the eyes of the two widened simultaneously, and without a word, they swiftly separated.
Juwon quickly lifted Ina off the dining table as soon as the sound of the bedroom door opening reached them, and Ina rushed into the bathroom.
“Huh, Ina, where are you?”
Joohee yawned and walked towards the kitchen.
Juwon turned around as casually as possible, pretending to fetch water from the water purifier.
“Are you awake?”
At Juwon’s words, Joohee nodded and looked into the living room.
“Where’s Ina?”
At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Ina came out.
“Oh? Joohee. Are you awake?”
Ina, also with a natural movement, asked while tapping lotion on her cheek.
“Yeah. When did you wake up?”
“Me? It hasn’t been long since I woke up.”
“Really? Juwon, when did you wake up?”
Wiping his hair with a towel, Juwon answered, “About 30 minutes ago.”
“Oh, Ina. Come here and sit.”
Joohee gestured for Ina to sit at the dining table.
When Ina came and sat next to her, Juwon took out slices of bread.
“Stay seated. I’ll make toast for you.”
Then he put slices of bread into the toaster and brewed coffee.
The fragrant smell of coffee filled the kitchen.
Juwon poured juice for Joohee and coffee for Ina, then took out tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and young salad leaves from the refrigerator to make a simple tomato Caprese.
When the two plates of bread, jam, and tomato Caprese were placed in front of them, Ina’s eyes widened.
“Wow, Juwon. You’re really fast.”
“I told you. Juwon is really fast.”
Joohee said, lifting her juice glass.
Juwon also poured coffee into his mug and sat down in front of the two.
“What do you want to do today?”
When Ina asked, Joohee, with sparkling eyes, replied without hesitation.
“I’ve had so many things I wanted to do when I met you.”
“Really? Like what?”
