The effort he had managed to muster with sheer mental strength seemed like only 3 seconds. As Jiho immediately regained his composure, he supported his upper body with his arms. The man’s rough breath was falling down onto Hye-yoon, trapped underneath him.
It seemed like he was losing the light of the Jiho she originally knew once again.
“I might get scared again soon.”
The voice wrapped in desire was strange. Desire burning in black pupils. A slender fingertip touched his face.
“Yeah. But I’m not scared now.”
Knowing the reason was because she missed him so much, because she wanted to hold him so much. Once she realized that, there was nothing to be afraid of. And soon, their lips tangled passionately.
Throughout the long night, the heat did not diminish. Persistent senses that the partner reacted sensitively were not only Jiho’s.
As if trying to praise the hard work and effort of the past ten days, or perhaps apologizing for not recognizing those feelings quickly enough. No, regardless of everything, your face, stained with excitement, gives me the same emotions.
What made this night burn even more was perhaps Hye-yoon.
A few hours later, the first to wake up from sleep was Jiho. He quickly turned off her alarm set for 5:45. Morning greetings that used to come around 6 during the past ten days began like this. While imagining that cute start, he looked at the face sleeping next to him.
Following that face, the neck, collarbone, white skin, traces of red here and there, one, two, three…
‘There’s really no one crazier.’
Jiho let out a sigh of self-reflection. He knew very well that he had gone too far. Moments that seemed crazy if he continued looking at those wet eyes. But every time, Hye-yoon reached out with her feather-like hand.
When he entrusted his face to that powerless hand, their lips touched. The soft kiss felt like a whisper saying, ‘You can do more.’
Although it seemed like she was reluctant to endure the overwhelming sensations, Hye-yoon kept asking for more.
Do more. Go further.
The night felt unreal. The woman shaking like a flower in front of him was so beautiful that it couldn’t be expressed.
Ssruk [Dash]
At that moment, Hye-yoon moved her body. After tossing the blanket lightly, she suddenly opened her eyes.
“Huh?”
Behind the small sound, her eyes were rolling rapidly. Perhaps her body remembered this time like a habit. Then, when she tried to sit up, her fuzzy face twisted endlessly.
“Uh…”
Her whole body seemed to not listen. Jiho looked at her face in silence and reached out his hand. As he gently stroked her tousled hair, she also stared at him intently.
Jiho couldn’t easily find the words. He felt so sorry for the night he had recklessly rushed into, and sorry again. Afraid that curses would come out even from himself, his lips were just moistened with saliva. His heart was fully melted in the gaze facing him.
So Hye-yoon smiled, releasing the gently furrowed forehead. The slightly swollen lips lightly played with a smile. The voice that still carried traces of the night had also weakened and faded away.
“…Yesterday was amazing.”
In the end, both of them let out a laughter that seemed to replace greetings of apology and reassurance. Jiho’s hand was still combing through her long hair. The cautious touch was completely different from a few hours ago.
“Are you working from home again today?”
Jiho’s usual relaxed and gentle tone returned. Hye-yoon nodded her head at his familiar way of speaking. It was refreshing to see Jiho maintaining that positive gesture. Adding one more sentence, Jiho continued.
“Will you stay quietly without kicking me out today?”
It was a question filled with sincerity amidst light banter. After asking like a question, the eyes pleaded. Plump lips moved briefly with a light creaking sound. The subdued voice seemed like a breath.
“If I kick you out… will you leave willingly?”
“No. I absolutely can’t.”
At the moment of her whimsical response, a light kiss descended. Jiho’s lips touched, and her shoulders trembled. Her body vividly remembered a few hours ago. However, it was just a very light kiss.
As the lips parted, there was only about a hand’s breadth of space between their gazes. Filling that space were warm eyes and tenderness.
“If you don’t see me, you’ll be in trouble.”
As if liking that answer, Hye-yoon closed her eyes gently. Her gaze and gesture seemed to permit Jiho, who also nodded once more.
Three hours later. The two who barely got up couldn’t help but be surprised by each other.
‘You went to exercise?’
‘Yes. Just stopped by home to pick up my travel bag. Only a few sets of clothes, though.’
‘No, no. You can exercise today?’
‘I don’t do it much. Just for three hours.’
While Hye-yoon praised herself for waking up, Jiho was the more remarkable one.
‘You’re going to exercise, and then use this place, except the study. I’ll only be in the study until noon.’
‘Wow… You’re working again today? Even though I’m here in the same house?’
‘Heh heh. We agreed to do it until today.’
From Jiho’s perspective, Hye-yoon, who decided to go back into the fairytale world despite being unable to control her body, seemed even more impressive.
The two looked at each other as if they couldn’t understand each other and then parted ways. After having a late breakfast and parting, Hye-yoon immersed herself in work again. Despite feeling damp and shivering, it was a commitment she had decided to finish by today.
Just like the past ten days, she became engrossed in work, oblivious to the passing time.
During that time, Jiho exercised and took care of various matters. He briefly stopped by home and packed a few things. Jiho, who had been introduced to a famous bakery nearby by the trainer, picked up his phone. He intended to ask what kind of bread she liked.
[Dash] The power is off, and then the beeping sound from the sound sampler…“Heh heh. I forgot.”
Until yesterday, the machine sound that used to devour his sanity was now something he could laugh about.
