How far can we go?

It was a simple question, yet Yul Li found herself unable to grasp its full meaning. Was it because she was lying down, or perhaps she was genuinely affected by the alcohol? Her body felt lethargic, and her ears buzzed as if swarmed by bees.

“You’re too beautiful. Excessively beautiful, it makes me angry,” Je Ho mumbled in a voice heavy with emotion, his lips touching her pale skin. Overwhelmed by the intense sensation, Yul Li closed her eyes tightly. Her lips quivered involuntarily. The warmth of his touch traced a path down her slender neck.

“You drive me crazy… I just can’t restrain myself.”

The word ‘restrain’ echoed in her mind. Opening her eyes, she saw Je Ho’s explicit gaze. His eyes, darkened with arousal, revealed an unbridled desire. As his hand reached for the zipper on her back, Yul Li stiffened.

Wait! Right here?

Then she fully understood his question. Urgently, Yul Li turned her head to the side. The dazzling lights outside the glass walls sparkled.

Even if the interior was invisible from the outside, there was no telling when Hyun Kyung and the others might return… No, even if they didn’t return, how could she do this here! But her shock was so great she couldn’t move a muscle. Tears welled up in her eyes from the embarrassment.

“Ah, pretending to be willing…”

The fervor in his eyes vanished instantly. Je Ho brushed back his hair, looking down with an emotionless face. Shortly after, he moved away from her. As he sat aside, Yul Li quickly got up. She pulled down her dress, which had risen up her thighs, feeling ashamed and embarrassed. Tears fell freely.

“Am I the one who made you cry now?”

He muttered more to himself, wiping away her tears. Yul Li shook her head in denial, but Je Ho drew her into his embrace. She leaned her face against his broad chest without resisting. He stroked her back, as gentle as before.

“Do you still dislike it? Feeling like I’m treating you like a kid?”

Yul Li bit her lower lip and shook her head. Pleased with her response, Je Ho smiled softly and cupped her chin.

“Even if your beauty drives me crazy, I’m not a scum who’d take a woman in a place like this.”

So he was testing how daring she could pretend to be. She should have been offended, but she wasn’t. Instead, she felt a sigh of relief and a flutter in her heart.

“Just a kiss then.”

He tilted his head slightly and whispered seductively. Their lips met, igniting a deep, enveloping heat. The rough breath of the man, mixed with a sweet scent, spread deep into her mouth. At times gently, at times fiercely, he conquered her tender membranes.

The soul-consuming kiss continually robbed Yul Li of her breath. Even when she opened her mouth wide for more air, her breathing only grew more labored.
Her vision blurred, and the surroundings swayed chaotically. Yul Li closed her eyes quietly, thinking she might melt away in this state. Sweet chocolate seemed to rain down from the sky, coloring her world in darkness.

“Ha.”

As Je Ho pulled away from their intertwined lips, he looked at her incredulously. With her eyes still closed, Yul Li breathed heavily, lost in her sensations. He couldn’t believe it. Falling asleep in the middle of a kiss?

When he cradled her face, she leaned into him, almost collapsing.

Whether in the resort or the club, and especially today, being drunk, Yul Li had a habit of falling asleep too defenselessly.

What was she thinking? Showing her fangs, ready to turn into a beast at any moment…

And not to mention, her bad habit of pretending to be tough, claiming she wasn’t drunk and could go all the way, only to pull back when things got a bit intense.

Her eyes, moistened with confusion, seemed to further provoke the man. Yul Li appeared oblivious to the fact that her vulnerability was inciting a previously unknown sadistic desire in him. At that moment, he wanted to push her until she broke down in his arms.

Aware or not, Yul Li’s innocent face completely entrusted herself to him.

His desire grew more intense because he couldn’t dare touch her. Soothing himself, Je Ho tenderly patted her shoulder for a long time.

Thanks to Kim’s help, they easily entered Hyun Kyung’s apartment. Yul Li was using the guest room across the living room.

Even as she was laid on the bed, making only muffled sounds, Yul Li did not wake up. It seemed unlikely that she could be this intoxicated from one glass of whiskey; she must have already consumed a considerable amount before.

“Open your eyes. You need to change before sleeping.”

But Yul Li remained deep in sleep. He considered leaving her as she was but was bothered by the tight-fitting dress. Uncomfortable and visually provocative, the dress perfectly showcased her voluptuous figure.

Just as he had said earlier, she was too beautiful to resist. If Kim hadn’t intervened, the confrontation with the drunk man might not have ended with just a punch. He would have broken every finger that dared to touch her.
