“What did I do?”
Even as she searched her memory, Tae Yeon found no fault she had committed against Do Jun.
As Tae Yeon was pondering, rolling her eyes, Do Jun got up and moved closer to her.
“Do Jun, I can hear you from there.”
Despite Tae Yeon’s dissuasion, Do Jun eventually sat next to her.
Dodging the gaze of Do Jun, who was gently looking at her, Tae Yeon stared emptily at the cup that had been filled with honey water.
If she had known this would happen, she should have drunk it slowly.
Apparently dissatisfied with Tae Yeon thinking about something else in front of him, Do Jun frowned and tapped the table.
As Tae Yeon slowly raised her head, she saw Do Jun staring at her with deep eyes.
Her eyes were drawn to his eyes, which seemed to be enduring a lot within his neat face.
Do Jun slowly lifted the corners of his mouth as he stared at Tae Yeon.
“Do you remember what you did at the restaurant earlier?”
“……”
In fact, she did remember.
She was surprised at herself for mindlessly touching Do Jun’s face, who had unknowingly come close.
So she pretended to be drunk, pretended to be asleep out of embarrassment.
Did Do Jun know all that and was that why he was having this conversation?
Her face turned increasingly red from embarrassment.
“Whether you remember or not. I have to do it.”
“Do you really mean it?”
And she instantly regretted spouting those words. Because it implied that she remembered what she had done.
Do Jun lifted his eyebrows as if intrigued.
“You do remember.”
“……”
“Then, before repeating the same action, I have one more question.”
Underneath the table, Tae Yeon’s hand trembled slightly.
“Why did you do it?”
Should she beat around the bush? Or just be honest?
After thinking about it, Tae Yeon eventually opened her mouth.
“Do Jun’s face, which came close…”
“My face?”
“Was too handsome…”
In the end, she chose to answer honestly. Embarrassment surged in like a tidal wave.
Though he was her husband, they were nothing more than a couple in name.
The expression reflected on Do Jun’s face was mysterious. The corners of his mouth twitched as if holding back laughter.
His face, trying hard to press down the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, was neither angry nor laughing.
Tae Yeon looked at his mood.
“I’m sorry.”
“There’s no need to apologize.”
“But still… touching your body without your permission. You could be uncomfortable.”
Ah. Why on earth did she do it?
It was a truly impulsive action. His face up close looked like a wellsculpted statue. Without knowing, she reached out as if enchanted, observing a piece of art.
Do Jun pulled his chair a little closer to Tae Yeon.
“Of course, I was surprised, but it’s okay because we’re a married couple.”
“Really?”
“You and me, and me and you.”
What is he trying to say?
His eyes, darker than a moment ago, stared at Tae Yeon intensely.
“It means you can touch me anytime, anywhere.”
“……Really?”
Tae Yeon, thinking she had misheard, asked in surprise.
“We are married, aren’t we.”
“Even so, we are only…”
“I think I’ve said that.”
Do Jun reached out and gently brushed Tae Yeon’s soft hair.
Tae Yeon was momentarily startled by his sudden touch.
“I don’t plan to just pretend to be a couple.”
Tae Yeon’s pupils trembled.
Does this man know what he’s saying?
“You asked at the restaurant earlier. Whether it was just a peck on the cheek or if we needed to do more.”
Tae Yeon swallowed hard. Her heart felt like it was about to explode from the tension that a tremendous word was about to pop out.
“I certainly plan to do more, of course.”
“……”
Tae Yeon covered her mouth with both hands. She was at a loss, her eyes wide open in surprise.
But Do Jun, who had uttered those words, just grinned.
“Do Jun, you’re quite a tease.”
“Do I seem like I’m joking?”
She wished he was, but Do Jun’s face was utterly serious. Her sight darkened.
“Of course, I don’t plan to touch you without your consent. Like someone.”
That someone referred to herself, who had fondled Do Jun’s face at the restaurant earlier.
Tae Yeon laughed awkwardly.
“I’m sorry about earlier.”
Do Jun grinned and took his hand from her hair for a moment. Then he asked in a gentle voice.
“I’m going to ask for your permission.”
What. Her lips barely opened.
“I remember your touch on my nose, cheeks, and lastly, my lips earlier.”
“Ha… Yes….”
He wished he could turn back time to when they were in the restaurant. How could he make such a mistake in a fit of drunkenness?
No. He needed to go back before he was married, right?
Caught up in her own thoughts, Tae Yeon was engrossed. Losing patience, Do Jun asked again.
“Since you did it, is it fair for me to touch you too?”
At this point, she couldn’t say no.
“Uh… Then, I’ll go wash up quickly.”
At her words, Do Jun narrowed his eyes.
‘Ah, this can be misunderstood too.’
Tae Yeon stretched out her hands and waved them vigorously.
“No, I don’t mean it like that. I wore makeup, so if you touch me now, it will get all over your hands. Foundation and lipstick….”
