For a moment, Taehui couldn’t tell if it was reality or a dream. She stayed still for a few seconds.
But the sensation of her bottom lip being gently sucked was vividly real.
Wait, is this happening? Slowly lifting her eyelids, Taehui pushed Sa Jun’s chest away.
“Do you want to die? Who asked for a lip bump?”
Their lips parted.
Still, her face remained hot, and her heart continued to pound uncontrollably.
Unlike Taehui, Sa Jun was irritatingly calm, as if it was nothing significant.
“You said I could do anything.”
“That’s because……!”
Taehui’s words trailed off as she slowly blinked. Who would have thought it’d lead to a kiss?
“I heard it twice today. Jinwon hyung said it, and so did your half-sister, that I like you. So, I was just curious.”
Sa Jun’s words, explaining he kissed her out of curiosity, made the corners of Taehui’s eyes tremble.
This was a clear breach of the solid boundary they had maintained for 13 years.
How could he cross the line for such a frivolous reason? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
The worst part was that even now, she was curious about how that kiss felt for Kang Sa Jun.
Because of the absurd hope that maybe he liked her too.
“So, how was it? After the kiss, do you think you like me?”
“And what about you?”
Taehui’s spine chilled under Sa Jun’s sharp gaze.
Worried that the perceptive Kang Sa Jun might have noticed her recent strange behavior, she couldn’t understand why he would cross a boundary they had maintained for 13 years otherwise.
Depending on who crossed the boundary first, their relationship could change.
Now that she realized her feelings for Sa Jun, if he was the one crossing the boundary, it could lead to a relationship. But if she crossed it first, it could mean the end.
She couldn’t dare reveal her feelings first, nor could she afford to be caught. She couldn’t react sensitively, but she couldn’t let it go easily either.
Trying to appear calm but firm, Taehui responded.
“Don’t you know our absolute rule? Just try playing such a nonsensical joke again. I won’t just sit back. Consider this a yellow card for you.”
“Answer me, Min Taehui. Did you dislike it?”
Sa Jun’s inscrutable black eyes were persistent, as if determined to get an answer.
“How would I know from just a peck?”
Annoyed, Taehui answered, lowering her gaze and brushing back her hair.
Hidden beneath her hair, her neatly sculpted side profile was revealed. Sa Jun’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Her long, lush eyelashes fluttered, her nose crinkled adorably, and her lips, soft and rosy, remembered their gentle touch.
Unsure if she took it as a harmless prank, Taehui seemed unaffected.
But inside, Sa Jun was burning with desire. The memory of their brief kiss was vivid.
That fleeting moment of their first kiss felt maddeningly sweet.
The memory of her soft lips and her fragrant breath kept coming back to him.
As the gap between them narrowed, it was an irresistible moment, even for Sa Jun.
He wanted to kiss Min Taehui again, to truly shake her this time.
Leaning close to Taehui’s ear, Sa Jun whispered seductively.
“If you’re unsure, should we try it properly again?”
The whisper close to her ear made Taehui instinctively turn her head, her eyes widening.
Sa Jun was too close.
“What, what do you mean ‘do it properly’?”
She stammered, startled.
“Kiss.”
Alarms went off in Taehui’s head.
One more kiss and she might reveal her impure, wavering feelings.
He was truly relentless.
The moment Sa Jun twisted his chin closer, Taehui, driven by sheer instinct, swung a pillow at him.
But he agilely dodged it, given his tall height of 188 cm.
Irritated, Taehui flung the pillow at him, but it too hit the door Sa Jun closed behind him.
Wow, how did he manage not to get hit?
Jumping off the bed, Taehui gripped the firmly shut door with both hands, trying to open it, but couldn’t match Sa Jun’s strength.
“Kang Sa Jun, won’t you open the door?”
Sa Jun responded nonchalantly from the other side.
“We promised no violence, remember?”
“I have a goldfish memory like someone, so I keep forgetting, you know?”
It was a moment to curse the heavens.
Why did she even like this infuriating guy who knew nothing about a woman’s heart?
That made her even more upset.
After a brief exchange through the door, Taehui abruptly turned around.
Exiting onto the terrace, she slammed the door loudly, echoing through the room.
Hearing the sound, Sa Jun who was leisurely holding the doorknob, quickly re-entered the room.
“…She’s gone.”
Sa Jun’s deep sigh echoed in the empty room.
Min Taehui had already crossed the terrace back to her own room.
The next morning, Taehui ate breakfast silently, not even making eye contact with Hyesuk.
It seemed like the first time she and Sa Jun had parted so early since coming to Ilsan.
Usually, they stayed together until dawn.
She was furious at Kang Sa Jun for disturbing her so much with that impromptu kiss and then coming closer again, insisting on a proper kiss.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
