Do Jun’s intense gaze seemed to engulf Tae Yeon at any moment.
Before Tae Yeon could even respond, Do Jun’s face descended swiftly towards her.
And their lips gently entwined.
Do Jun tightened his grip on Tae Yeon’s waist, pulling her even closer to him.
Though there was already no space between them, their bodies pressed even tighter together.
Thump—Thump—
The rhythmic beating of her heart was so loud, she worried Do Jun might hear it.
Do Jun tenderly explored Tae Yeon’s mouth.
The hot fervor mingled and danced between them.
‘This might actually transmit the cold to me.’
But that thought was fleeting.
Do Jun shook Tae Yeon more intensely, as if to prevent her from thinking of anything else.
Tae Yeon helplessly accepted him.
In fact, it seemed she never had the intention to push him away.
The kiss, a mix of gentleness and passion, made her head spin.
Do Jun gently stroked Tae Yeon’s hair with one hand and whispered affectionately.
“They say a cold has to be passed on to get better.”
“That’s just a superstition.”
Tae Yeon, catching her breath, regretted it belatedly.
“Ah. I’m afraid I might have passed the cold to you, Do Jun. What should I do?”
“There’s nothing you can do.”
“This cold is really severe. You shouldn’t be laughing about it.”
But only Tae Yeon was anxious.
Do Jun, as if unbothered by the prospect of catching a cold, just kept his gaze fixed on her.
“How strange.”
“What is?”
“Why do I want to do everything with you, even if it means getting sick?”
“…….”
Tae Yeon’s light brown eyes trembled helplessly, deeply moved by his sincere words.
Fearing she might kiss him first if she kept looking at his face, Tae Yeon averted her gaze.
Unwilling to let their intertwined gazes break, Do Jun gently grasped her chin, not painfully, and slowly turned her face back towards him.
“Why do you look away?”
Tae Yeon bit her lower lip and asked.
“Can I speak honestly?”
“Of course.”
A brief silence ensued.
Tae Yeon swallowed nervously, her voice tiny and hesitant.
“Because when I look at your face, Do Jun…”
“And?”
“I feel like I’ll kiss you without realizing it… Hmph.”
Before Tae Yeon could finish, Do Jun again leaned down and devoured her lips.
This kiss was different from before, laced with a sense of urgency.
Do Jun pressed her relentlessly, giving Tae Yeon no chance to breathe.
She was pushed so much that her body started to tilt towards the table.
‘Am I going to fall?’
But that thought was utterly pointless.
Do Jun showed no intention of letting her go, firmly supporting her back with his large hands.
Yet, Tae Yeon’s body kept leaning backwards.
Do Jun momentarily broke the kiss and cleared some dishes to the side on the table.
“Do Jun?”
He created a space and gently laid Tae Yeon down on it.
To think she would lie down on a dining table set for a meal.
Tae Yeon’s light brown eyes flickered with confusion and trembled.
Do Jun positioned himself between Tae Yeon’s legs and lowered his body.
Then he whispered in her ear.
“Do you know that Mrs. Choi hasn’t left work yet?”
“Of course.”
“So try your best to hold back.”
“To hold back what…….”
Without further explanation, Do Jun pressed his lips to hers.
It was a kiss so intense, it felt as if they were on a bed instead of a dining table.
As she accepted Do Jun, Tae Yeon struggled to suppress the moans that threatened to escape.
Now she clearly understood the warning Do Jun had given earlier.
When Tae Yeon squirmed in uncertainty, Do Jun placed her hands above his head.
Tae Yeon ran her fingers through Do Jun’s soft hair.
She tried hard to contain her excitement, but couldn’t completely muffle every sound.
Eventually, Tae Yeon clenched her fist and lightly tapped Do Jun’s shoulder.
Do Jun slowly pulled away from the frenzied kissing.
Due to her frantic touching, Do Jun’s usually neat hair was completely tousled.
Tae Yeon, seeming embarrassed, bit her lip and whispered softly.
“It seems a bit inappropriate to do this here.”
Do Jun’s lips curved into a smile.
“I was thinking the same.”
“Right?”
Just as Do Jun started to move away, Tae Yeon grabbed his forearm.
“Wait a moment.”
If they left the kitchen in this state, Mrs. Choi would surely find it odd.
There’s no way someone’s hair would become so disheveled from just eating.
Tae Yeon slowly tidied his hair.
“That’s better.”
Do Jun reached under Tae Yeon’s waist to help her up.
Her home wear dress had ridden up, and his clothes were wrinkled too.
They both checked each other’s appearances and laughed simultaneously.
“Do Jun, what is this?”
“Who told you to be so pretty while eating?”
“My fault, then.”
“Let’s just say we were both enchanted by each other.”
Tae Yeon hopped down from the dining table.
“Ah….”
The bowl with porridge was pushed away so hastily that its contents spilled all over the table.
“What should we do?”
It clearly looked like it was spilled on purpose.
“Mrs. Choi will understand.”
Do Jun took Tae Yeon’s hand.
In the past, Tae Yeon would have been surprised by such a small gesture.
