“Chae Ha, wait a moment!”
After ending the birthday party and tucking Woo Ju into his bunk bed, Seol Won was abruptly pushed against the wall as she entered.
Simultaneously, her slender wrists were helplessly captured by Chae Ha’s hand and raised above her head.
It was not so much rough, but rather an action exuding intense desire.
“……!”
The sudden change in Chae Ha made Seol Won’s body tense up with nervousness.
She felt like a defenseless herbivore thrown into the savannah.
“Chae Ha, why so suddenly….”
Attempting to break free from his grip, Seol Won tried to twist her shoulder.
But her futile resistance was met with a strangely thrilling voice from below her neck.
“Have you forgotten what you said earlier?”
“……What?”
“You confessed your love with your own lips, how could I possibly resist?”
“Ah…….”
Her cheeks instantly flushed.
Was it the ambiance that made it so embarrassing to hear her own words from Chae Ha’s mouth?
Now she noticed the room was lit with soft lights she favored.
Moreover, a fresh scent, better than any perfume, emanated from Chae Ha’s body pressed closely to hers.
It was the fragrance of the man she longed for and missed.
Though they had been sharing a bed for quite a while since her return, something felt very different tonight.
Her feelings were strange. Very strange.
“Min Seol Won.”
Chae Ha paused from nuzzling her neck, looking at her with burning eyes.
His gaze was indescribably captivating, the emotions layered in his eyes too profound to read in a single glance.
In a low, deep voice, he stared into Seol Won’s eyes and whispered.
“I love you.”
“……Chae Ha.”
“For a very long time, I almost went crazy wanting to say this to you.”
“Chae……”
His lips softly captured hers, making a brief but intense contact.
Then he gazed into her eyes again.
“Not in a fantasy or a dream, but to the real you.”
“…….”
Before she could respond, he kissed her sweetly again.
This time his voice didn’t seem distant.
With each touch of their lips, Chae Ha breathed his love into her as naturally as breathing.
With each kiss, he poured out his love.
The man who had been indifferent was now whispering tender love, an unexpectedly passionate affair.
Eventually, Seol Won, blushing from her cheeks to her neck, couldn’t bear it anymore and pushed Chae Ha away.
“Stop, that’s enough.”
“No. I will say it hundreds, thousands of times. I love you, Min Seol Won. It’s what I’ve wanted to say for the past 5 years.”
Seol Won gazed at this unfamiliar man.
What days had Kwon Chae Ha spent during her absence?
What had happened to make such a cool man so earnestly express his love?
“Ah…….”
He gently caressed her cheek again, slowly pressing his lips to hers.
But this time, the kiss was more than tender.
Wrapping his arms around Seol Won’s waist, Chae Ha led her to the bed.
As her back hit the soft mattress, their bodies fell together.
Chae Ha’s body was exceedingly warm, as if feverish.
Or perhaps, it was unclear whose warmth was more intense.
Their overlapped bodies began to explore each other as eagerly as their lips.
With each kiss he scattered along her skin, Seol Won simply held him tightly.
As if never enough, Chae Ha yearned for her.
That longing was felt in his fingertips, lips, and movements.
As Seol Won requested, he momentarily stopped saying ‘I love you’.
Precisely speaking, he was expressing it with his body, not words.
Without any escape, Seol Won was completely enveloped by him, their lips and bodies joined in unison.
Under a lighting reminiscent of a sunset, the shadows of the two overlapped completely.
Seol Won had finally realized that there are many ways to express and feel love.
Under his affection, she felt like she was reborn, helplessly crumbling away.
It was a night when their hearts and bodies truly became one.
[Star Icon]“Umm….”
Warm sunlight gently settled on her eyelids, awakening her.
Basking in a pleasant drowsiness, Seol Won slowly turned and opened her eyes.
Then, she gasped. The sight before her was breathtaking.
“……!”
“You’re up early.”
Chae Ha, looking very relaxed, propped his chin and gazed down at her.
Lying on her side, the blanket had slipped down to her waist, exposing her upper body under the bright sunlight.
Seol Won involuntarily swallowed at the sight of his well-defined muscles.
“Chae, Chae Ha.”
“Why are you calling me Chae Ha again? After calling me so fervently all night.”
Her ears turned crimson at his words.
Realizing Chae Ha’s gaze was fixated on her ears, Seol Won quickly understood what she needed to do first.
She hurriedly pulled the blanket up to her chest, which Chae Ha watched with an amused look.
“Why act shy now? I’ve already seen and touched everything.”
“It’s, it’s because you’re staring like that.”
The more flustered Seol Won became, the more Chae Ha seemed to enjoy it.
“You know, even in the old days, I used to watch you sleep like this.”
“……What?”
Seol Won’s eyes widened in surprise.
