“I’m seriously saying this.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t go drink somewhere else. If you feel like drinking, call me.”
Under normal circumstances, she would have snapped, but it was clear that her senses had slowed down. In the meantime, she firmly held the fourth beer can, just watching.
“It’s strange. Normally, I wouldn’t care about this level of… but…”
Thud[Dash] Thud[Dash]
Hye-yoon, who had lost strength in her hand, couldn’t open the beer can properly. Whether it was displeasing or not, she glared at the beer can with a fierce gaze. Still, when it didn’t work, she extended the beer can to Jiho, but he shook his head.
‘Open it.’ and ‘Stop drinking.’ clashed in their eye expressions. Hye-yoon nodded slightly, tightly gripping the beer can in her hand. She seemed to be planning to try it herself again later.
“But… should we sleep here?”
“What should we do? We can call a designated driver for the car. I’ll do as you wish.”

“Hmm…”
Hye-yoon, who had been extending the conversation, looked at the clock in the distance. 1 a.m. Even though she was slow, she calmly calculated. If they were to return to their accommodation now, who would leave this room first, and what time would they arrive?
“Instead, if we sleep here, we can see the sea in the morning, right?”
“Wow…”
Unable to even start that calculation, Jiho threw expressions that Hye-yoon would respond to, despite his dry tone.
“It will be much different from the night sea. It will truly be dazzling.”
“I really want to sleep a lot…”
“Yeah. That’s what I suggested.”
“Wow! Was Mr. Jiho like that?”
Whether she sobered up for a moment, Hye-yoon spoke in a lively voice. A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, incongruous with her dry tone.
“Hehe. Originally, all men are like that.”

Jiho, clinking the last two sips, poured the beer down. The coolness passing through the throat was nice, but he still preferred the gaze that shot at his face with all its might, the warmth in those eyes.
So, he placed the empty beer cans on the table and turned his gaze to Hye-yoon. Since she had pulled him into a topic that pleased him, he wanted to explore a bit more.
“Do you really want to go?”
A voice that seemed to fall to the ground. Even the moment when the eyelids closed, the gaze fixed on a single woman. Hye-yoon also did not avoid those eyes. Letting go of the lips that had been pursed for a short moment, she shook her head. A smile of embarrassment crossed her face.
“…No.”
The redness of honesty exchanged for two blushing cheeks. Hye-yoon lowered her head as if she could no longer bear it. Her gaze, with nowhere to go, lingered on the beer can she had been holding for a while.
Hye-yoon’s fingers toyed with the beer can, which she couldn’t open. Jiho, watching her fidget, decided to ask again. No, he decided to push her.
“Well… for the past three hours, you’ve done what you wanted as a writer…”
“…”
“Can I do what I want for the next three hours?”

The eyes of Hye-yoon, which had lingered ambiguously, suddenly widened. The movement of the hand that was tormenting the beer can looked awkward, as if it had malfunctioned. Jiho captured every bit of the energy she emitted with his eyes.
Finally, a nod. Another nod. Even the positive one she had finally produced looked forced.
Then, a faint smile naturally enveloped her picturesque face. So, in fact, that was enough. But it couldn’t be helped.
Even though she felt embarrassed, Jiho’s face, trying to summon courage somehow, was something she wanted to see more. After all, it was really beautiful.
“Hye-yoon.”
Due to Jiho’s surprised hand, Hye-yoon’s hand stiffened. He gently soothed the force she had put into that small hand, took the beer can away, and when her gaze shifted toward Jiho…
Within the distance where they could feel each other’s breath imbued with alcohol.
“Look at my face and answer. …Is it okay?”
The overlapping gazes were thick. As much as his voice. Hye-yoon swallowed loudly enough to make a gulping sound.
“…Yes.”
Without even opening her lips, Hye-yoon gave an answer. It was all she could do to muster the strength to make a sound from her throat. Instead, her eyes did not avoid it. Because Jiho’s deep and intense pupils were filled only with her face. She didn’t want to leave that place.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds…
‘Really, just this once…’
6 seconds, 7 seconds, 8 seconds…
It was a moment when she always thought but once again acutely realized. Even though she had confidence in looking into people’s eyes, it was incomparable with this man.
…10 seconds.
“…Ugh! I used up all my courage for the month!”
In the end, it was Hye-yoon who turned her head first. Even though she gathered up the remaining courage from her toes, it was only enough for 10 seconds. Jiho also closed his eyes only then.
“Hehe. That’s right. Since you showed courage several times today, I should buy you ice cream next time.”
He leisurely laughed, placing the beer can he took from Hye-yoon’s hand back on the table. The word “ice cream” and his tone, both sounded pleasant. Turning her face back to the direction where the nice sound was coming from, Hye-yoon spoke again.
“Next time, make sure to eat it all…”

The slightly excited words could only go that far. There was no time to be surprised by the warmth of the large palm enveloping her cheek. As their lips quickly met, their breaths mixed moistly. The sound of soft flesh touching gently repeated.
The kiss, not deep or long, ended when Jiho gently released his lips from Hye-yoon’s. The moment their gazes clung together above their falling lips.
“…I truly used up a month’s worth of patience. I endured for three hours.”
Even calling her name shook the woman. The consideration of treating her the same without any change for the woman who was shaking as if nothing had changed had reached its limit.
Hye-yoon opened her eyes in a room filled with light. Sunlight poured through the glass window beyond the curtain that she hadn’t pulled to the right cheek. But she turned her head a little more to the left, which was shining a bit brighter.
The rays of the same light gently descended on Jiho’s face. It was truly radiant.
Turning her body towards Jiho, pains tingled here and there. However, looking at the way her lips naturally curled up, it was undoubtedly happiness.
It seemed like the first time. Seeing Jiho’s face asleep so closely, examining the flesh that continued from his arm supporting her head all the way to the collarbone, reaching out to the place where her eyes lingered without hesitation.
Even though they shared a blanket, unlike herself, Jiho’s solid chest was exposed. Feeling the healthy glow on his skin with her fingertips.
“…Jiho, do you find makeup uncomfortable?”

“Yeah. A bit.”
Then, yesterday’s scene came to mind. Right here, with this person, a memory from seven hours ago that was too close to be called yesterday. Like the sound of waves breaking, the heart crumbled, and the first scene on the bed where the body collided little by little, arriving at this moment, repeated.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
