Married First, a Couple - Chapter 47

Before he could say anything, Do Joon wrapped his arm around Tae Yeon’s waist and pulled her strongly towards him.

And then Do Joon’s lips touched hers.

Tae Yeon’s eyes widened at the soft sensation on her lips.

Do Joon brought his body even closer, narrowing the distance between them.

‘Why suddenly…’

The arm firmly around her waist, their bodies pressed closer than before.

The parts of her body in contact with him quickly grew hot.

Her heart was pounding wildly from the surprise.

So much that she thought it might actually burst out of her chest.

‘But I’m sure he said he was in too much pain…’

The man who said he couldn’t even take off his clothes alone due to the wound on his back was nowhere to be found as Do Joon raised one hand to cup Tae Yeon’s face.

And he breathed even more deeply and hotly into her.

Forgetting that she should push Do Joon away, Tae Yeon unconsciously closed her eyes.

Do Joon gently brushed Tae Yeon’s hair back and whispered tenderly.

“Thanks to you, I feel a bit better now.”

“…Pardon?”

After slowly pulling his lips away, Tae Yeon lifted her head.

Do Joon’s intense gaze was fixed on her.

“Do you know about the benefits of kissing?”

“Benefits?”

“There are many advantages, and one of them is said to be pain relief.”

‘Is he saying he kissed me to forget the pain because it hurt so much?’

Seeing Tae Yeon’s eyes trembling uncontrollably, Do Joon chuckled.

“But now what should we do?”

“What’s wrong?”

“It seems the kiss was too short, as my back is starting to hurt again.”

Do Joon furrowed his brow slightly, making a pained expression.

“Then I should quickly apply the ointment… Oh?”

Before Tae Yeon could finish saying she would apply the ointment, her body was suddenly lifted.

Do Joon carried Tae Yeon in his arms and walked towards the bed right next to them.

Afraid she might fall, Tae Yeon tightly gripped Do Joon’s neck.

After gently setting Tae Yeon down, Do Joon also climbed onto the bed.

Kneeling, Do Joon placed Tae Yeon between his legs and gave her a dizzying look.

Then he moved his hands to his cumbersome fluttering shirt.

Since Tae Yeon had already undone all the buttons, he was able to take off his shirt very easily.

As his well-defined muscles were fully revealed, Tae Yeon covered her face with both hands.

No matter how many times she sees it, it’s always this embarrassing. It was a body she just couldn’t get used to.

It’s so sculptural that it’s hard to believe even when seeing it with her own eyes.

Do Joon’s intoxicating low voice poured over Tae Yeon’s face.

“Why do you always avert your gaze like that?”

“Because you take off your clothes without warning.”

“If I give warning before taking them off…”

“Pardon?”

“Will you observe properly then?”

“…”

She couldn’t promise. Whether he gave warning or not, Do Joon’s magnificent body wasn’t going anywhere.

Do Joon reached out and grasped Tae Yeon’s wrists, which were covering her face.

“I cultivate this body for you to look at all you want. It’s a bit disappointing when my wife turns away like this.”

“What?”

At his words of disappointment, Tae Yeon slowly removed her hands.

As she slightly lifted her eyelids, she saw Do Joon smiling with his lips curved upwards.

“Yes. I’m disappointed.”

“Why…?”

“Let’s think about it. How would you feel if a new product you worked hard on was ignored in the market?”

At Do Joon’s words, Tae Yeon immediately made a dejected face.

Just thinking about it made her feel bad.

It would be truly heartbreaking for a new product that took months of daily effort to be ignored in the market.

“Not good.”

Do Joon lazily curved up the corners of his mouth as he slowly lowered his upper body.

As a result, Do Joon’s impressive upper body muscles filled Tae Yeon’s field of vision.

“So that’s exactly how I feel right now.”

“Pardon?”

“Before you wake up, I wake up an hour early to exercise thoroughly. It seems like you don’t appreciate my efforts.”

Listening to Do Joon’s words, they sounded so plausible that Tae Yeon nodded without realizing it.

“I suppose… that could be the case.”

“Of course.”

Do Joon tilted his head slightly and stared intently at Tae Yeon.

His gaze was so intense it felt like standing under the midsummer sun.

“I think we talked about how we don’t know much about each other because we’ve been apart for so long.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Do Joon took Tae Yeon’s hand, which she had covered her face with and removed, and moved it to his chest.

Startled by the sudden touch of Do Joon’s bare skin without warning, Tae Yeon pulled her hand away.

“Is it unpleasant?”

“No! How could it be?”

“Then you were surprised?”

“That’s right.”

“Oh dear. It seems I acted rashly without warning again.”

Do Joon gave a kind smile as he took hold of Tae Yeon’s wrist again. Then he gave her an intense look.

“Now, don’t be surprised.”

Do Joon brought Tae Yeon’s hand to his chest once more.

On the left side of his chest, Do Joon’s strongly beating heart was clearly felt.

Tae Yeon was taken aback.

To think Do Joon was as nervous as she was.

However, there was no change in his outward expression.

With a completely composed face, Do Joon slowly moved his hand downward.

Tae Yeon’s fingers touched his well-defined abs, like chocolate bars.

Do Joon’s eyebrows rose slightly for a moment, as if Tae Yeon’s touch tickled.

“Originally, there should be no secrets between husband and wife. Don’t you agree?”

“Yes… that’s right.”

What on earth did touching Do Joon’s impressive muscles have to do with secrets?

Her mind kept drifting hazily due to the rock-hard muscles touching her fingertips.

As Tae Yeon tried to avert her gaze, Do Joon reached out and gently grasped her chin.

Then he turned her head to make her look at his face again.

“I cultivate this body for my wife.”

“What?”

As Tae Yeon was startled, it was Do Joon who looked puzzled.

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s not like I’m going to show it to any woman other than my wife.”

“Ah…”

“No matter how much effort I put in, it’s useless if the audience I’m showing it to doesn’t like it.”

“…”

“So, what do you think?”

Do Joon asked mischievously with a smile.

“About what?”

“I’m asking if you like it.”

Tae Yeon bit her lip.

It seemed he wouldn’t let go of her hand until he heard her answer.

When Tae Yeon nodded slightly, Do Joon asked the same question again.

“How is it?”

“I… like it.”

“What do you like?”

“Hah.”

Feeling her body heat up more and more, Tae Yeon touched her cheek with her free hand not held by Do Joon.

It was the first time her usually cold hands and feet came in handy.

When she pressed her palm to her face, she could feel the intense heat.

‘It must be visible at this point.’

Tae Yeon smiled awkwardly as she quickly blurted out the words Do Joon was waiting to hear.

“I’ve felt it every time I see your body. It’s like a truly exquisite sculpture.”

Do Joon smiled even more brightly, apparently pleased with Tae Yeon’s words.

“So this…”

Though she thought he would let go, Do Joon pulled Tae Yeon even closer instead.

“Do you want it?”

“Pardon?”

“You said you like it.”

Gulp.

Tae Yeon swallowed hard in surprise, and she hiccupped from being so flustered.

“Hic.”

Seeing that, Do Joon spoke in a relaxed tone.

“I can give you anything you say you want, no matter what it is.”

Even as she listened to his seductive voice, the ill-timed hiccups continued.

“So just tell me what you want. Understand?”

“Yes. Hic.”

Do Joon loosened his grip on Tae Yeon’s wrist. Her arm slid down onto the bed.

Thinking to get some water, Tae Yeon tried to sit up.

However, she couldn’t due to the shadow looming over her.

Do Joon narrowed the distance, giving her an intense look.

“Thanks to you, my pain has lessened a bit. But now what should we do about your hiccups that I caused?”

“I can take care of this myself.”

“That won’t do. The person who caused it should fix it.”

“How?”

Wondering if he had some secret remedy to stop hiccups, Tae Yeon looked up at Do Joon on top of her.

“Relax. Someone might think I’m trying to eat you.”

Seeing Tae Yeon all tensed up, Do Joon slowly and gently stroked her hair.

Doesn’t he know that touch makes her even more nervous?

Do Joon lowered his body completely, bringing his face right in front of Tae Yeon’s.

“Hic.”

Even at this moment, the ill-timed hiccups seized the opportunity to emerge.

No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, it was useless.

“I think I should… *hic*”

She tried to say she would go drink some water, but Do Joon’s lips quickly approached and swallowed her breath.

This was already the second kiss of the day.

Her body, already heated up by Do Joon’s intense warmth, reacted all too easily.

The ticking of the clock was no longer audible. The humming noise of the air conditioner suddenly stopped.

It felt like the whole world was turning except for her.

Meanwhile, Do Joon breathed even more deeply as he drew closer to Tae Yeon.

Since she was lying beneath him, their bodies pressed even more tightly together.

The heavy weight of his body on her wasn’t unpleasant.

After kissing like that for a while, Do Joon slowly pulled his lips away.

“How is it?”

“What?”

“The hiccups.”

“Ah, they’re fine… *hic*”

Making her words that they were fine seem foolish, another hiccup escaped.

Do Joon curved up the corners of his mouth as he spoke in a low voice.

“My, how stubborn they are.”

Though he said that, he somehow looked extremely pleased.

“Don’t misunderstand. This is purely for treatment…”

Do Joon’s words saying it was for treatment purposes were cut off.

That’s because the hesitant Tae Yeon raised her arms and wrapped them around Do Joon’s neck.

It was an unconscious action, as she felt thirsty in that brief moment apart from him.

Surprised for a moment, Do Joon froze in place.

Soon grasping the situation, he curved his lips handsomely into a grin.

“It seems we shouldn’t stop.”

Wrapping one arm around Tae Yeon’s waist to hold her close, he further narrowed the distance.

“If I stop, the hiccups will cut in and I’ll be jealous.”

It was a very good excuse.
