Do Jun declared his intention to stop Tae Yeon’s hiccups, his heart filled with selfish desires.
Tasting the sweet lips he had longed for, he was ecstatic, nearly losing his mind.
‘How can this woman’s breath be as sweet as cotton candy?’
She was flawless in every way.
Her beauty was apparent, and even the parts he hadn’t known were perfect.
Do Jun continued the kiss, barely containing his rising desire.
Tae Yeon moved slightly, causing a first aid kit on the bed to fall to the floor with a loud noise.
“There…”
Hearing the sound, Tae Yeon reacted, and Do Jun gently stroked her hair.
“We can pick it up later.”
The position or shape of the fallen first aid kit was irrelevant at the moment.
Feeling Do Jun’s tender touch, Tae Yeon refocused on their kiss.
She was discovering new sensations, her toes curling involuntarily.
As Tae Yeon moved, Do Jun, looking embarrassed, briefly broke the kiss.
“Jin Tae Yeon.”
His intense gaze, looking down at her, seemed to engulf her.
“If you keep provoking me like that, it’s going to be a problem.”
“What?”
Do Jun sighed heavily.
It seemed enough for today.
Already tense around him, how much more shocked would she be if he couldn’t control his desire?
Regretfully, Do Jun got up.
Tae Yeon also sat up, fixing her disheveled hair and leaning against the bed’s headboard.
Her body was still warm from their closeness.
Her previously neat dress was now wrinkled, and the skirt had ridden up, exposing her thighs.
Watching her pull down her skirt, Do Jun abruptly turned away.
It was maddening.
Confronted with her fair skin, the beast inside him was desperate to break free.
Do Jun quickly picked up his shirt from the floor and started to leave.
“Do Jun!”
He turned at Tae Yeon’s call.
“Can you look at this deep cut on my back?”
Do Jun chuckled softly.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Are you doing this on purpose?”
“What?”
Slowly tracing his lower lip, Do Jun moved closer to her.
Their proximity rapidly closed as he leaned in.
“It doesn’t seem like you’re intentionally provoking me.”
“Oh, did I touch your back earlier?”
His amused expression grew at her innocent question.
Unintentional seduction, yet he always reacted so predictably.
“I’ll apply ointment after I shower.”
“I’ll do that.”
Applying ointment now would be pointless if she was going to shower anyway.
Tae Yeon smiled sweetly, and Do Jun reluctantly stood up.
He seemed to be deeply addicted.
To her bright smile, to the words she always wanted to hear.
“Hurry back from your shower.”
Tae Yeon, pushing her hair behind her ear, spoke with a graceful voice.
It seemed like trouble.
He was irresistibly drawn to her beautiful lips that always said exactly what he wanted to hear.
Do Jun struggled to suppress his instincts with reason as he left the marital bedroom.
Even a cold shower that chilled his body couldn’t quell the heat within him.
“Will I be able to sleep tonight?”
It took several renditions of the national anthem before he could leave the bathroom in peace.
While Do Jun showered, Tae Yeon quickly finished hers and restored the first aid kit that had fallen off the bed earlier.
“Should I wait here?”
Recalling what happened with Do Jun on the bed, Tae Yeon closed her eyes tightly.
“That was just treatment.”
She brainwashed herself into believing it wasn’t true, hoping to erase these illogical feelings.
But it was futile.
Just seeing Do Jun’s face made her heart flutter these days.
And when he came close like earlier, she thought it might burst from the intense reaction.
“Why am I like this?”
She had never felt this way, even in her teenage years.
Moreover, harboring such feelings for Do Jun, whom she married for strategic reasons, was even more confusing.
Yet, part of her was secretly hopeful.
She wondered if Do Jun felt the same tension around her.
“Why isn’t he coming out?”
She waited in the living room for a long time, but Do Jun didn’t appear.
Eager to apply the ointment, she noted his shower was taking much longer than usual.
Then, her phone rang on the living room table.
The caller was President Jin.
“Ah…”
She had completely forgotten that Hye Sook had visited earlier because of Do Jun.
“It’s strange.”
Hye Sook and President Jin had always been significant figures in Tae Yeon’s life.
Despite hating them, she couldn’t distance herself from these almost parental figures.
Days when she received harsh words from them always left her feeling down.
There were countless times she was scolded under the guise of discipline by the ill-mannered Hye Sook.
She had stayed quiet today, expecting the same.
She never expected Do Jun to suddenly appear.
Facing him, her unease disappeared instantly.
Usually, she would have remained gloomy even at home.
But not today.
Even the insistent ringing of her phone subsided.
It felt like a dream.
In the past, she would have quickly answered President Jin’s call.
She was a dutiful daughter, always careful not to upset them.
