After refreshing shower, Chaeyoon, who finished showering, heard rattling sounds.
Wondering what it was, she headed to the kitchen and saw Jaeo doing something.
Since his broad back was blocking the view, it wasn’t clear what he was doing.
“What are you doing?”
Jaeo’s head turned abruptly, and a smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Chaeyoon.
Finding his freshly cleaned appearance beautiful again, Jaeo, who had already captured it with his eyes, answered while subtly pointing in front of him.
“I’m transferring the rice.”
Rice?
Transferring something that shouldn’t be there in the first place.
Curious, Chaeyoon tiptoed and peered in front of Jaeo.
There were rice and side dishes in front of him.
“Oh, did they send it from Pyeongchang-dong?”
“Yeah. Sit over there.”
Although Jaeo pointed to the dining table, Chaeyoon didn’t move.
“Why?”
Looking at Chaeyoon, who still didn’t seem accustomed, Jaeo lowered his head slightly.
“No. Do I take this with me?”
Reaching for the side dishes with a tray, Jaeo stopped her.
“Leave it.”
Chaeyoon stubbornly carried the tray to the dining table.
Jaeo’s gaze followed her as she moved away.
The moment when her long, slender legs and arms curled around him vividly came back.
The unfamiliar sensation was overwhelming, to the point where she couldn’t properly regain her composure. Even if she didn’t sleep much, she felt refreshed, as if she had slept deeply.
Moreover, just seeing Chaeyoon asleep in his embrace made Jaeo happy, so he gazed at her sleeping figure for a long time.
Then, suddenly, he wished this moment could last forever.
No, the past time was wasted.
If they had spent a little more time together, how many more memories would have been created?
Now, I want to see you from that time, and I want to have you, but no matter what I do, I can’t see you.
The fact that time cannot be turned back struck his heart. He felt thirsty.
[I went to tell you not to come to the graduation ceremony.]
If he had not pushed you aside even then and listened to your words, would it have been a bit better?
The answer was ‘no.’
The thirst that could only be felt forever came to Jaeo’s throat.
Feeling that thirst that he had to endure forever, Jaeo tightly hugged Chaeyoon, who was tossing and turning in his embrace.
Then came the moment when he was trying to control the awkward feeling.
In Jaeo’s ear, Chaeyoon’s voice stuck.
“Oppa?”
“Yeah?”
“Why are you standing there in a daze?”
Having swallowed his rising regret and self-reproach in one gulp, Jaeo smiled and answered.
“Thinking about you.”
With a knowing expression, Chaeyoon turned her gaze elsewhere and mumbled.
“I think I took out the kimchi, but…”
The smile on his lips became even deeper.
Not long after that, the two sat facing each other at the dining table.
Perhaps because it had been warm all night, Chaeyoon, who was very hungry, picked up a spoon and put a mouthful of warm rice in her mouth.
“Um, the rice tastes good.”
“Eat a lot.”
With her head down, Chaeyoon began to eat in earnest.
Jaeo, who saw her small mouth moving skillfully, stopped eating and just stared at Chaeyoon.
It seems like this won’t do.
With a distance that wouldn’t arouse any suspicion, he got up from his seat.
“Why are you getting up?”
Holding the rice bowl and getting up, Jaeo headed toward Chaeyoon’s side.
Perplexed by the sudden move, Chaeyoon watched him blankly, and after sitting beside Chaeyoon, Jaeo lightly kissed her round cheek and said.
“I want to share the side dishes.”
After Chaeyoon couldn’t resist and ate the side dishes Jaeo had put on her rice bowl earlier, she smiled and took a bite of rice.
“Delicious.”
Pride filled Jaeo’s eyes as he looked at Chaeyoon.
Observing her eating with a mouth full of rice, he picked up another side dish and placed it on Chaeyoon’s rice.
One of Chaeyoon’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Once should be enough, or is he going to keep doing this?
Her attention was drawn to his rice bowl that hadn’t decreased much compared to what he had eaten.
“You should eat too, Oppa.”
“Yeah. I am eating.”
Although he said he was eating, his rice didn’t seem to be decreasing much.
Feeling her persistent gaze, Jaeo picked up a side dish and placed it on Chaeyoon’s rice, saying.
“Eat quickly.”
Thinking that she would be delighted if he did this, Jaeo expected Chaeyoon to eat the rice. However, his lips weren’t directed at the rice but at Chaeyoon’s cheek.
Smack, smack, smack.
Starting with the cheeks, kisses rained down on her ears and neck. In the midst of this shower of kisses, Chaeyoon’s hand touched his chest.
“Oh, why again? I told you to eat.”
“Oh, I don’t know. The rice just doesn’t catch my eye.”
His eyes saying such things were similar to what she saw just a few hours ago.
Thinking about the intense gaze filled with passion on that late night, Chaeyoon, now with less passion but still full of affection, looked into his eyes and thought.
Is it still the same context as back then?
