The heat spreading on the back of her hand choked Ye Seul’s breath.
“Um…, Mr. Baek Si Heon. Just a moment….”
Could it really be progressing this way? Isn’t this flow too dangerous?
To block with all her might meant he would attack with all his might….
Si Heon released Ye Seul’s hand and smiled.
“Huh? Why?”
Ye Seul’s eyes were trembling thinly. It felt like fire would break out from her face.
Si Heon’s hand touched Ye Seul’s forehead.
“You don’t have a fever, so why are you so red?”
While he seemed as laidback as a seasoned warrior, Ye Seul felt like a newbie thrown into the front line.
Calm down. Don’t panic. It’s a battle she couldn’t lose. She would handle it like a seasoned adult.
Ye Seul shook off Si Heon’s hand.
Si Heon, without any sign of surprise, looked down at his hand wrapped around hers.
“Didn’t I say I won’t proceed if you don’t want me to?”
Ye Seul leaned against the armrest of the sofa and sat down awkwardly.
“Do you dislike it?”
Ye Seul shook her head. Or rather, she should have nodded. She bit her lip in despair at her own involuntary reaction.
“It’s not like that….”
Si Heon reached out for the armrest of the sofa.
Ye Seul, with nowhere else to retreat, was trapped between Si Heon’s arms.
Even though their bodies weren’t touching, the distance that felt as if they could touch drained her mind.
Ye Seul, due to her keen sense of smell, was sensitive to fragrances.
As the scent of Si Heon’s body mixed with the smell of shampoo seeped into her nostrils, strength went into her toes.
A faint scent of chocolate lingered.
Could it be that she had placed an incredibly unwinnable bet?
Ye Seul shook her head. She shouldn’t fall for Si Heon’s calculated provocation.
“Don’t…, don’t rush….”
Ye Seul grabbed the hem of Si Heon’s tshirt and bowed her head.
“Shouldn’t we take some time to get to know each other?”
Si Heon, without a word, leaned close to Ye Seul. The narrowing distance startled Ye Seul and she shouted.
“Mr. Baek Si Heon!”
Si Heon raised his arm and stood up.
In his hand was the glasses case that had been on the side table next to the sofa.
Had he just been trying to grab the glasses case all this time?
“Yes, Ms. Ye Seul.”
Her petulant face swelled at the sight of him, responding with a lazy voice and a full smile.
“What were you thinking?”
“No… nothing. I was just thinking… it would be nice to get to know Mr. Baek Si Heon slowly….”
Ye Seul laughed awkwardly, like a robot.
Ye Seul felt like she was getting ahead of herself and wanted to kick the blanket.
Honestly, as a man, Si Heon was attractive.
In France, she had seen countless commoners who outshone models, so she had built an immunity to goodlooking people.
However, she couldn’t understand why she was unusually sensitive to Baek Si Heon.
Close to 190 cm in height, with broad shoulders and a physique honed through exercise, and above all, eyes, nose, and mouth perfectly placed according to the golden ratio. And the muscles that made her sigh with their sensual, slightly bulging appearance.
Particularly, the line extending from the back of the hand to the arm was to Ye Seul’s liking.
The man’s pectoral muscles hidden under the white Tshirt seemed to gleam as if they were translucent.
She knew that Baek Si Heon was more than a match for Ye Seul.
Even if she met a man in the future, she wouldn’t be able to find such a spectacular one, right?
She didn’t even know whether these thoughts gave her some form of expectation.
But she thought that it could end as a fan crush because it was just a matter of taste.
Like the feelings Ye Seul has for Sebastian now.
Ye Seul let out a small sigh.
“It’s nice getting to know each other. In that sense, would you like a glass of wine?”
Si Heon asked, reaching out to Ye Seul, who was lying on the couch as if leaning back.
“Sure.”
Ye Seul took Si Heon’s hand in a cool manner.
As Ye Seul rose, Si Heon pulled her in.
“Eh?!”
Ye Seul widened her eyes and tried to find her balance, but she was drawn into Si Heon’s arms due to the strong pull.
She could hear Si Heon’s heartbeat.
The slightly faster than regular sound was not unpleasant.
“Mr. Si Heon.”
She was about to ask him to let her go, but a low voice resonated pleasantly over her head.
“Are you feeling bad now?”
Ye Seul blinked, her face still against Si Heon’s chest.
“No.”
Si Heon detached Ye Seul’s face from his chest and stared at her intently.
The man’s dense eyelashes cast a shadow, his obsidianlike pupils fully capturing Ye Seul.
As Si Heon’s face came closer, Ye Seul closed her eyes.
A soft touch brushed against her eyelids.
Ye Seul’s eyelids trembled at the gentle touch.
Ye Seul quietly swallowed, worried that her hot breath would touch Si Heon.
“…….”
Is he messing with her like before?
“What… are you doing now?”
She asked sharply, pushing Si Heon away.
“Adaptation training.”
Was it deliberate when he aimed for the glasses case earlier?
Ye Seul didn’t know what to do with Si Heon’s audacity.
