On the first day when Casus and Atia had entered the room alone for physical training.

Atia couldn’t even remember what kind of exercise they had done.

When she thought about that moment, she felt just overwhelmed.

‘Have I gone mad? Did I really do it?’

Returning to the room, Atia immediately flopped onto the bed.

A kiss on the first day of exercise.

‘No, we didn’t do the exercise we were supposed to do! What was he thinking, kissing me…?’

Tossing and turning, Atia wrapped herself in her blanket, utterly confused.

“Aaaah, what should I do… it was totally unexpected oral exercise!”

Had she been starved for so long?

Recalling that uncontrollable moment, Atia bit her lip.

As fate would have it, she fell on top of Casus, making that blunder.

She had thought such a thing would never happen.

Human instincts were terrifying.

Once confronted with the situation, there was nothing she could do.

She used to wonder why people closed their eyes when kissing in dramas; and now she had done it!

‘Could he think that I deliberately fell on him?’

Frowning, Atia rolled herself up in her blanket.

Casus’s face floated in front of her.

Even lying down, his domineering presence and prominent nose.

Those insanely handsome blue eyes.

If you looked closely, you felt like you were being pulled in, as if under a spell.

Or maybe he really was using hypnotism.

To be honest, Atia also thought he was handsome from the start.

But exercising up close made him even more so.

Was it fair for him to have such a presence at that angle?

‘You should focus solely on the exercise.’

Why did her eyes keep wandering?

She couldn’t exercise like this.

She couldn’t achieve her goals.

Especially since Casus was her last resort for bulking up.

She was desperate; why had she done such a strange thing?

‘…I guess I need more training.’

.

.

.

Immediately after the accidental kiss.

“……”

“……”

Both unsure of what to say or do, an awkward silence filled the room.

With a heart pounding like crazy, Atia finally spoke.

“Uh, shall we stop for today since it’s the first day?”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea.”

Neither Atia nor Casus had the courage to continue exercising under the circumstances.

That was all the exercise they did on their first day.

Oral exercise.

.

.

.

Rolling up in her blanket, Atia tried even harder to forget the memory.

So much so that she missed the knock on the door.

“Ma’am!”

Kesha, who had entered the room to tidy up, widened her eyes in surprise.

“Ma’am?”

Atia was rolling around on the bed, wrapped like a silkworm.

Kesha came closer and didn’t notice until she spoke.

“Ma’am!”

Startled, Kesha hurriedly held the silkwormlike Atia.

Thump.

“Ma’am!”

Only then did Atia’s face emerge from the blanket.

“Oh my, what on earth happened!”

Exhausted, Kesha loudly inquired upon seeing Atia.

“Are you alright?”

Unusually, Atia’s face was flushed red.

“Um…”

“Ma’am?”

“I’m fine…”

“It doesn’t seem like it.”

Halfdead Atia’s voice echoed in Kesha’s ears.

Although her face was red, it didn’t seem like she was sick.

“Or did something happen?”

“No, nothing happened.”

Atia avoided Kesha’s eyes and coughed unnecessarily.

(This is a time marker.)

Meanwhile.

Casus was not in a normal state either.

“……”

Back in his office, Casus couldn’t focus and sat down on the couch.

He brushed his lips with his palm.

The heat was still there.

The soft touch and her fragrant scent.

As if a sweet peach aroma still lingered.

Suddenly, Casus felt the urge to do it once more.
I should have done it a bit longer.

He brought his hand from his lips to his chest.

It felt like his heart was still pounding vigorously.

The joyful moment when he had placed his lips over Atia’s small ones hadn’t faded from his mind.

A smile escaped without him noticing.

Then suddenly, he realized he was foolishly smiling alone.

‘Why am I doing this?’

Casus immediately stiffened his face.

Going to the yard for physical training, just to kiss?

Thinking about it, physical training my ass; it seemed like he did nothing.

Perhaps he had lost control and gone mad when Atia suddenly lay on top of him.

‘I really am not in my right mind.’

Casus shook his head.

But soon, another thought followed.

‘Although we only kissed today, next time maybe something else…’

Slap!

Casus slapped his own cheek.

Why was he constantly distracted by useless thoughts when he should be focused solely on physical training?

If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to give her what she wanted.

“Ha.”

Casus ran his fingers through his good hair and tilted his head back over the couch’s backrest.

However, having once tasted it,

Wanting to do it again and again was inevitable.

If he had known, he would have kissed a bit longer.

Until her peach scent permeated his entire body.

The scent of Atia seemed to be gradually fading away.

‘Can’t I keep it from disappearing?’

He would have liked to hold onto the fading scent of Atia, but that was impossible.

With a sigh, Casus closed his eyes.

(This is a time separator.)

The next morning.
