After taking a shower, when Sajun came out, Taehee was watching TV on the sofa, eating macarons.
Feeling a presence behind her, Taehee turned her head back and looked at Sajun.
Seeing Sajun’s hair cascading like a waterfall, he swallowed a bitter smile.
Anyway, I’m always nervous and concerned. Thinking about it, Min Taehee always seemed like that.
Treating Sajun like a same-sex friend, behaving without any hesitation, and now it wasn’t just for me that Taehee liked it.
Even though they were dating and had even kissed, it would be nice if she could recognize me as a man now.
Unaware, Taehee innocently asked, “Why did you take such a long shower? If there hadn’t been the sound of water in the bathroom, I would have opened the door to check.”
Sajun usually took long showers, but when Min Taehee was there, he took even more time and effort.
Even when brushing his teeth, he squeezed plenty of mint-flavored toothpaste, and he changed into new clothes that day.
It was because he wanted to show Taehee a clean appearance and emit a clean smell.
Since they became friends and Taehee first came over the terrace to my room.
I don’t know the reason, but it just seemed like it had to be that way.
My first friend, female friend, and opposite sex.
I couldn’t pinpoint why back then, but I found out later.
I wanted to look good to the opposite sex I was getting close to for the first time.
I didn’t know my feelings back then, but that was all I could do.
Of course, Taehee is still unaware of his efforts, causing a problem.
In frustration, Sajun changed the subject.
“Taehee, sit up straight. Sitting like that, you look like a ghost with tangled hair.”
At Sajun’s words, Taehee, deliberately tilting her head back, burst into laughter.
At times like this, I thought that we really had a faultless relationship.
What’s wrong with looking pretty even when viewed upside down, with a small and slender face.
Sajun, who was holding back a burst of laughter, heard Taehee say.
“If you say you’re scared with arms that can beat ghosts, wouldn’t you feel guilty? Did you grow muscles just to beat ghosts? Those muscles are just for show, right?”
What man grows muscles to beat ghosts?
With Min Taehee’s unique thinking, Sajun finally burst into laughter.
Then he saw it—the trace of pink macaron smeared on her lips, sparkling.
In the state of tilting her head back, Taehee was defenseless.
Sajun, who approached her step by step, lowering his face to Taehee, was half impulsive and half intentional.
“……!”
His long fingers gently pinched her stubborn chin, and their reversed lips met seamlessly.
He thought that if he pushed her away, she would obediently retreat.
In the position of tilting her head back, Taehee quietly opened her mouth.
It was as if she had been waiting for Sajun to kiss her.
With the unspoken consent, Sajun suppressed a laugh and delved deeply into the open mouth.
The taste of sweet and tangy macaron smeared on soft lips was felt.
Even in the tangled breath that pushed gently, the sweet fragrance permeated.
Though Sajun hated sweetness, the taste of sweetness from Min Taehee’s lips and breath was incredibly pleasant.
Their breaths intertwined deeply, and their lips lightly touched several times before repeatedly delving deeper.
Sajun, who stood upright, slowly lowered his gaze.
The gaze at Min Taehee’s alluring face, the hazel eyes that were as disheveled as breath, and slightly parted lips exhaled a thick, lively breath.
It seemed like an invitation to kiss again.
Suppressing the impulse, Sajun, with his large hand, gently enveloped the back of Taehee’s head.
“Lips have macaron on them.”
The voice, deep and exhaled while taking a deep breath, was low.
“So, you just kissed without saying anything?”
“Yeah.”
It was a shameless response.
When the disheveled eyes became clear again, Taehee burst into laughter.
“Kang Sajun, with your hand on your conscience, tell me honestly. Wasn’t there really even 1% of personal feelings?”
Instead of an answer, a faint smile spread on the side of Sajun’s turned mouth.
What 1%?
It was a kiss filled to the brim with personal feelings.
While coming out of the shower, Taehee mumbled.
“Ask for permission before kissing.”
Thinking about it, she was kissed too indiscreetly.
To say she was kissed was too mild; she greatly enjoyed it.
From the moment Sajun’s eyes, dark and blatantly seductive, descended diagonally, the wet strands of hair brushed against her nose, and the fresh scent of shampoo seeped in.
While captivated by the shampoo scent, their lips met, and the refreshing mint aroma flowed into her mouth.
After succumbing to successive temptations, when she belatedly came to her senses, Sajun had already intruded deep into her mouth.
To be honest, it was difficult to refuse.
A handsome man came out clean, emitting a pleasant fragrance, and kissed her with soft lips and a fragrant breath.
Exhaling a small sigh, Taehee headed to the bedroom.
Sajun sat quietly under the dim light of the lamp.
