Taehee silently gazed at Sajun.
From suggesting dating, confessing love, proposing marriage, to suggesting living together, she had heard it all.
Whether the words spoken to me were sincere or not, only Kang Sajun would know.
Whether it’s sincere or not, what does it matter? These were words that Sajun had wanted to hear at least once, and now that he had heard them, it felt like a wish come true.
Taehee smiled and changed the topic of conversation. “The smell of alcohol. How much did you drink?”
“Changing the subject again.”
“What does a person who’s been drinking have to say?”
With a muttered remark, Sajun also sat down on the floor, bursting into a forced laughter. “Even if I drank, my mind is clear.”
“Not in my eyes. We’ll talk later.”
“Even though you’re going to reject me anyway.”
“Oh, you catch on quickly.”
Ignoring Sajun’s puzzled expression, Taehee spoke again. “But, Kang Sajun, what are we doing right now?”
“What do you mean?”
“We have a nice house waiting if we just open the door, but here we are, sitting in the hallway like people without a home.”
Even though Taehee said this, she didn’t seem to have any intention of getting up. Sajun felt the same way.
“Why, isn’t it nice?”
Having a nice house doesn’t make you happy. It’s being with someone that makes you happy.
Sajun still vividly remembered. The small one-room apartment, the creaking noise even with a slight movement on the cramped bed, the noise coming from all sides. However, the night spent in that house remained one of the best memories, all thanks to Min Taehee in his arms.
Because of Min Taehee’s presence, because it was a space shared with Min Taehee. To be honest, that small and uncomfortable one-room apartment was far better than a hotel suite—cozy and warm.
“But why did you come? You said not to see each other on weekdays.”
“Well, as a response to the lunch event, I thought of letting you sleep.”
Playfully answering, Taehee smiled and reached out to hug Sajun’s neck. Despite wondering why she suddenly did this, Sajun waited, tightly embracing her thin waist as if to say he had been waiting for this.
Min Taehee’s unique scent, texture, warmth. It now felt like he could live with it.
Despite not having great expectations, Sajun casually asked, “Is it because you missed me?”
“I did miss you.”
At the unexpected answer, Sajun was momentarily stunned. Did I hear what I think I heard? When Min Taehee, who had just left Sajun’s embrace, slowly stood up.
“I’m tired. Let’s quickly wash up and sleep. Oh, lend me one of your shirts again today.”
Pulling out the key card from her bag, Taehee opened the door, and Sajun, who had risen to his feet while watching the slowly opening door, hugged Taehee from behind.
Even though Taehee seemed surprised and tried to turn around, she couldn’t because Sajun was holding her tightly from behind.
With Sajun hugging her slender shoulders and lifting her face, he whispered into her ear. “Let’s live together. Then, you won’t have to borrow my shirt.”
As if wanting to make someone else jealous by wearing only a shirt. “What’s wrong with living together? It’s not because the house is nice. It’s because I’m happy being with someone.” Sajun vividly remembered the words Taehee said about love once again.
Trying to seduce someone again by wearing only a shirt.
“Where is it written that living together is because I don’t want to borrow clothes? It’s because I love you that we’re living together.”
Once again, Taehee was talking about love.
As if he would listen to anything if only she said those words.
Even though he knew it was fake, Sajun still wavered today.
Even after confessing his love, he wants to believe that Mintaehee won’t leave him.
“If I say I love you, will you live with me?”
“…….”
“Will you date and marry me? Will you stay with me for the rest of our lives?”
Sajun whispered softly like a sigh, his lips brushing against Taehee’s tender neck, which was throbbing with a rapid heartbeat.
Shivering and biting her lips, Taehee slowly closed and opened her eyes.
She had to suppress the intensely surging emotions.
When Taehee twisted her body to look back, Sajun reluctantly let go of her waist.
Looking at Taehee with her especially sparkling black pupils, he smiled slightly.
“Kang Sajun, don’t you know that the brave win the beauty? Be courageous, be courageous.”
Even though she was saying it playfully, her current feelings were genuine.
If Kang Sajun can show a little courage, I will summon even greater courage. I still dislike love, fear it, and lack confidence, but if the other person is you, I want to properly experience love at least once.
But this time, Sajun smiled and said to Taehee, “I don’t know.”
“……?”
“You’re pretty.”
With that one word, her ears turned red.
Although he should have scolded her not to say something soulless, he couldn’t. Thinking that the words might be sincere, his heart raced, and he couldn’t meet Sajun’s eyes properly.
Unable to give any response, Taehee turned away while biting the inside of her mouth.
