The large-sized candy incessantly moved between their mouths.
As the candy’s shape gradually diminished, Taehui’s heart thumped louder.
As the taste and scent of the lemon candy intensified, the warmth beneath the skin bubbled, and the excitement grew.
Above all, although different from previous kisses, it was significantly distinct.
Persistent, slow, gentle, and skillful.
As if testing his patience, as if the candy shouldn’t quickly wear out and disappear, Sajun treated the candy with great care.
Only after the candy that entered Taehui’s mouth had shrunk to the size of a fingernail did Sajun slowly part his lips and softly ask, “Min Taehui, is it still sour?”
Captivated by a hazy feeling, Taehui slowly opened her eyes.
If she answered that it was sour, it seemed like they would kiss again, as Sajun’s lips were still close.
Without the candy and still asking, why was he asking?
On her long lashes, moist with embarrassment, Sajun’s lips were present.
Slightly parted red lips shimmered more vividly.
Looking at those lips, the sweet and sour kiss from earlier came to mind. With a flushed face, Taehui silently raised her head.
Sajun’s words sounded like, “Do you want to kiss more?” which was why she had a vague smile on her face.
Shoulders shrugged, Sajun moved even closer to Taehui.
At the moment when the tense Taehui tightly closed her lips, Sajun’s cheek brushed against the tip of her nose.
Then, a clicking sound of the seatbelt being fastened was heard.
When Taehui, with widened eyes, looked up, she met Sajun’s gaze, tinged with laughter.
“You’ve already experienced a common mistake, so.”
So, it was not a common mistake to fasten the seatbelt, or something like that.
To defend himself.
Suppressing a laugh, Taehui replied, “Do it or don’t.”
“Then can I make more common mistakes?”
With an instantly deepened gaze, Sajun brought his face close again.
Was it because of the lack of experience, and he couldn’t control his desires at all?
With just a slight response, the blazing Sajun seemed now almost scary to Taehui.
Slightly annoyed, Taehui pushed against Sajun’s chest with her hands.
“Make common mistakes later or not at all, and please let’s go home. Okay?”
Naturally, she thought it wouldn’t be allowed.
Surprisingly, when Taehui responded quite positively, Sajun raised an eyebrow.
After making a momentary blank expression, he turned back to the driver’s seat, started the engine, and drove off.
As if he couldn’t wait to leave this place, he seemed restless about not committing another common mistake.
Pretending not to see such Sajun, Taehui turned her head toward the window and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Although she didn’t like seeing Sajun restless, there was something nice about it.
Certainly, it started as a contractual relationship, but because of Sajun, who pushed in without hesitation, it felt like they were really dating.
What to say.
When with Sajun, it felt like a single feather was tickling her heart.
If this effort towards me is sincere, it would be really nice.
I would really appreciate it if I could believe your feelings.
The more I want to trust Sajun, the harder it becomes to trust him.
Just like the two sides of a coin, as the magnitude of love grows, the size of fear was also increasing.
Rather than fear, I wish that love would grow even more, Taehui thought as Sajun naturally intertwined his fingers with hers.
You could resist, but Taehui decided not to.
Since we’ve decided to enjoy the hundred days given to us perfectly.
Even these small things that seem trivial now will become venomous, beautiful memories in the future.
The two who arrived home parked nearby and headed to the convenience store in the neighborhood.
Sajun’s shoulders and fingertips, brushing against her as if it would reach her, didn’t bother Taehui.
Just as Sajun had naturally held hands in the car, this time, Taehui casually linked arms.
Throughout the journey, Taehui hummed, and Sajun just silently listened, occasionally nodding his head.
Even though they had just started dating, the 13 years they spent together naturally blended between them.
It didn’t seem bad at all.
Sometimes like friends and sometimes like lovers, the excitement, tingling, and comfort of this relationship.
Finally, they arrived at the convenience store.
As soon as they sat down where Sajun had first taken a sip of soju and collapsed, Taehui downed a can of beer in one shot.
“Kang Sajun, is this really the digestive medicine?”
The refreshing carbonation cleanly swept through her throat to her stomach, giving a sense of clarity.
In that freshness, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
As Taehui sent a playful smile, Sajun, infected by that smile, also smirked.
I like Sajun’s smile, which only I can see, as he smiles because of me.
With such thoughts, Taehui asked with a refreshing feeling, “By the way, how did you know I had indigestion? Even if I eat a lot, my stomach is strong, so I rarely get indigestion.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
