Knowing she should just put her to sleep, but it had been a while since he felt so heated all over.
Was he always this impatient? Even though he felt self-disgust, he couldn’t help it.
Jiho’s hand tenderly swept Soo’s hair.
Tucking it behind her ear and coming back to grasp her flushed cheek.
With a tilted smile, Jiho lowered his head and passionately captured Soo’s lips.
Their entwined lips parted momentarily.
“Is it okay?”
From the almost touching distance where only their lips had separated, Jiho asked.
Even if Soo said it wasn’t okay, it wouldn’t be bearable without the remaining patience.
With no answer, Jiho’s mouth, parched from thirst, felt incredibly dry.
Soo looked into Jiho’s eyes, which seemed like they would burn black, and felt the heat from Jiho’s body, connecting vividly from head to toe, as if tingling electric shocks ran through her.
‘If it’s not okay, I can endure it, right?’
Suppressing the desire that felt like it would burst, Jiho’s effort to consider Soo was palpable.
A soft sound.
Soo suddenly pulled Jiho’s face and kissed his lips loudly before letting go.
Spending the first night of the first trip, a night that would be remembered for a lifetime, just sleeping felt insufficient for Soo.
Soo’s gaze gradually brightened.
With one passionate kiss, drowsiness seemed to have completely evaporated.
“Because today is the first day of our journey.”
“So… it’s okay?”
Jiho urged for an answer with eyes wearing out.
As Soo smiled and nodded, Jiho’s head immediately descended.
Once on the round forehead, once on the eyelids, once on the tip of the nose, once on the blushing cheek.
Jiho’s lips passed over every inch of Soo’s small face like dots.
As if delicately touching because it was too precious to be touched casually, the gentle contact caressed the skin like a brush.
At every spot where the lips touched, the hot breath felt like flames gently adhering.
Having stopped the playful kiss, Jiho silently looked down at Soo.
Looking into each other’s eyes that were filled perfectly with their faces, Jiho’s head tilted down, breaking away.
The lips quickly sucked in.
With each twist of Soo’s body, each time a gap opened with each breath, Jiho felt like his heart would burst.
Soo, whose eyebrows were trembling, stretched out her arms and embraced Jiho’s back.
It was an unforgettable first night in Paris.
**
The next day.
The two who slept in each other’s arms skipped breakfast and fell into a deep sleep.
Soo woke up first in Jiho’s embrace.
She separated from the touched body and created a gap with Jiho.
The blanket flowed down, and in the bright light coming through the awaited window, Jiho’s chest was revealed.
It wasn’t the first time seeing it, but every time, admiration arose for his surrealistic body.
‘How hard do you have to work out to maintain a body like that?’
The line from the collarbone to the navel and the firm muscles on both sides captured attention.
Soo swallowed a dry gulp.
She had often looked at Jiho’s sleeping face alone, but seeing his body alone made her face blush.
Nevertheless, she gazed a bit longer at the overwhelming physique.
Overwhelming height and broad shoulders. Despite any clothes he wore, it seemed he could pull off a stylish look like a model, and she knew he had a good body, but seeing it for the first time was still surprising.
Although not a robust muscular physique, feeling his all-hard muscles when touched was unexpected.
It was hard to imagine such a body looking at the white and smooth skin.
Having sufficiently enjoyed the view, Soo belatedly pulled up the comforter that was sliding down to cover Jiho’s neck.
Even though she covered it, it kept catching her eye as if it were visible, so Soo shook her head from side to side.
She wanted to touch it, but she didn’t want to deliberately wake Jiho, who was sound asleep.
Quietly trying to come out from under the blanket, Soo’s waist was grabbed and pulled by Jiho’s long arms.
“Where are you going?”
Even the voice that split the morning sleep was sweet.
“Are you awake? It’s time to get up now.”
Returning to the original position, Soo faced Jiho and said.
Jiho lay on his side, supporting his head with his hand, and looked down at Soo.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because I miss you.”
“Even though you’re looking at me.”
Soo chuckled as if to say he was thin.
“Even if I’m looking at you… I miss you.”
The sweet and melodious voice tickled the ears.
Jiho, with his head lowered, lightly kissed Soo’s forehead.
With the confession, Soo’s heart thumped.
With a slightly reddened face, Soo found a place to breathe and snuggled closer to Jiho’s chest.
While caressing Soo’s back, Jiho opened his mouth.
“It’s not the first time, but strangely, you always seem like the first time.”
“Hmm?”
Soo, embarrassed, revealed his face again and lifted Jiho.
“Every time I see you, I’m always excited and nervous as if it’s the first time. My heart beats like it’s going to burst, and… I get thirsty as if my throat is burning.”
Jiho tenderly stroked Soo’s hair.
“Really?”
“Really.”
Looking at Soo with eyes wide open as if he couldn’t believe it, Jiho laughed.
“I thought I was the only one. You always seem so calm and composed, and every time it felt like I was the only one getting nervous and tense, it was unfair sometimes.”
Soo pursed his lips and expressed the unjust feeling he had harbored alone.
“Wow. I made you nervous and tense every time I looked at you? You should have told me earlier. I thought I was the only one.”
Soo squinted his eyes and looked at Jiho.
His face was increasingly unbelievable.
“Don’t change that feeling.”
With sincere eyes, Soo nodded his head.
Jiho buried his face in Soo’s neck and took a deep breath.
“Soo.”
Jiho lifted his head, gently enveloping Soo’s face with both hands, and said.
The slightly lower voice sounded sweet.
“I really like you.”
While moving his lips to speak this word, Jiho’s heart pounded to the point of being sore.
“I love you.”
Such a common phrase, but a word meant only for you.
Feeling the warm lips on his forehead, Soo closed his eyes.
With Jiho’s sweet confession, Soo felt like he was suffocating.
His face turned crimson, and his heart pounding like crazy felt like it would burst.
