The warmth emanating from Dojun’s back was comforting.
Even if she told herself not to get too used to this comfort, she couldn’t help but hope that it would be okay, at least for today.
Although she knew she had to leave his side forcefully, emotionally, today was different.
The day when she keenly felt that the day to leave Dojun was rapidly approaching.
With closed eyes, Taeyeon struggled to suppress the overwhelming emotions that kept surging.
Can I live without this man?
I might be able to survive, but I can only endure it barely.
Can I consider that living?
Dojun silently looked down at the wordless Taeyeon and gently bowed his waist.
Then, he breathed warm air into her ear.
“Why are you having such thoughts? About leaving me.”
Taeyeon, tightly held by Dojun’s arms, slightly loosened his grip and turned her body.
“I don’t want Dojun to see my back today.”
In response to her words, Dojun made an ambiguous expression, neither smiling nor not smiling.
Initially, he thought of smiling, thinking they shared the same emotions, but as he reconsidered Taeyeon’s words, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.
Today.
The word limiting it to today kept ringing in his ears.
Nevertheless, he decided not to show it.
Instead, Dojun tightened his embrace around her, soothing her fluctuating emotions.
“Okay. Let’s just face each other like this.”
Taeyeon’s nodding movement against Dojun’s chest conveyed her agreement.
“Dojun…”
“Yeah, tell me.”
“Thank you so much.”
“For what?”
Taeyeon raised her face from Dojun’s sturdy chest.
Dim lighting in the living room illuminated his handsome face.
During the time she could see this face, she had to make sure to remember it all without missing a thing.
Smiling at the thought, Taeyeon grinned.
“Just everything.”
“What kind of everything?”
Dojun persistently asked.
However, she didn’t mind.
Taeyeon detailed her gratitude.
“For trusting me without a hint of doubt today.”
“Again.”
“And for always treating me affectionately.”
Dojun smiled with an expression that neither denied nor confirmed her words, as if asking if there was more.
“Anything else?”
“Well, during the night tonight, I won’t be able to express all the things I’m thankful for to Dojun.”
While holding Taeyeon tightly, Dojun took one step after another.
With Taeyeon entrusting her body to Dojun, they walked toward the bedroom on the second floor.
Dojun, fixedly gazing at her face as if he wanted to hear more of her elegant and pleasant voice, remained in that state.
“I’m grateful for Dojun liking me.”
“That’s one of the things I’m thankful for towards you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
The two looked at each other, sharing the same expression.
“And also…”
There were many more things she was thankful for.
However, because of Dojun’s persistent kisses upon their arrival at the company, compared to the brief kiss a few days ago, these were more profound kisses.
Dojun seemed determined to savor every bit of Taeyeon’s breath and fragrance, pressing against her with fervor as if wanting to absorb it all.
Taeyeon also felt heated by him.
His warmth, this intense heat.
He was a man who made it impossible to have any other thoughts when they were together.
A few days ago, even when she met CEO Jin and had a difficult day, it was the same, and today was no different.
Whenever my mind starts to feel even a bit complicated, it’s quite amusing that I find myself seeking refuge in Dojun’s arms without entertaining any other thoughts.
Eventually, even though I will leave this man.
Is it okay to leave behind so many unforgettable memories?
However, on the other hand, since I am leaving, shouldn’t I have many memories to reminisce about for the remaining days?
With a light step, Taeyeon placed her hands on Dojun’s shoulders.
Due to this, the bodies of the two pressed against each other even more tightly.
Dojun firmly grasped Taeyeon’s waist as she approached.
As they shared heated emotions by parting the thin membranes, Taeyeon responded with the same intensity.
As Dojun gently pulled away his lips, he asked, “Was expressing gratitude earlier the only thing you wanted to talk about?”
“No?”
Taeyeon shyly smiled, saying, “How could that be? I was talking, but suddenly you kissed me, and I couldn’t finish properly.”
“Oh, my mistake.”
Looking down at Taeyeon from a close distance, Dojun wore an expectant expression, waiting for her next words.
With a bright smile, Taeyeon revealed one thing she had kept in her heart.
“Dojun, you are my entire world.”
I’m about to lose that world soon.
Without any hesitation, Dojun responded, “Me too.”
“…”
“Jin Taeyeon is my entire life.”
Dojun didn’t miss the slightly trembling pupils of Taeyeon as she looked at him.
“So, I have no intention of letting you go.”
Before Taeyeon could ask what he meant, Dojun kissed her lips again.
The question was swallowed into Taeyeon’s body, and she quickly melted away in the hot desire that Dojun was pushing into her.
