Although he talked about scent with his fragrant mouth, it was difficult to easily discern his intention. That was also when Ji Ho decided not to speak his mind after reading her eyes.
“So……”
“……”
“If we start, I won’t be able to control myself like yesterday.”
In the face of his blatant sincerity, Hye Yoon clenched her fist tightly. The time spent solely between the two of them. Thus, she was the only one who knew what kind of feelings and touch the other had shown.
From beginning to end, Ji Ho matched her pace. Whether in mind or body. Recalling his embarrassing but warm consideration, she couldn’t respond right away.
Thud
And upon hearing the dull sound and looking to the side, Ji Ho had placed his emptied cup on a table a few steps away.
“…What shall we do.”
His earnest eyes, caught between what he wanted to do for her and what he wanted to do, were indecisive. His voice was so deep, as if locked in the night, and it seemed so much like his heart that Hye Yoon slowly opened her mouth.
What he wanted to do for her and what he wanted to do. In Ji Ho’s case, for Hye Yoon, both were the same.
“However……”
“Yes?”
“If the breakfast tomorrow is not good… Please tell me honestly… Don’t hold back.”
“Heh. Just that?”
Ji Ho let out a soft, low laugh. It almost seemed as if breakfast held that much value. Nevertheless, her moist eyes were infinitely serious, waiting for the continuation of her words.
“You always hold back outside, Ji Ho… So don’t hold back in our home.”
“……”
“Whatever it is.”
In this moment, she was the only person reflected in his wavelike brown eyes. A desire surged to always be in the world that those eyes saw.
Only her. Just like now.
The moment of that desire engulfing him was instantaneous.
“…You really drive me crazy.”
His large stride approached her in an instant. The moment their lips met was simultaneous. Unlike before, he moved roughly between the tightly interlocked lips. With each step towards her bedroom, a piece of clothing fell. Thump. Thump.
Above them, their heavy breathing and stimulating breath scattered in the air.
“Haah… I’m so… dizzy…”
As the soft duvet touched her back, Hye Yoon conveyed her trembling as if she was going to explode. The palpitation that seemed to make even her words tremble was difficult, but.
“Me too. …You’re too beautiful.”
His voice, mixed with warm breath, was filled with sincerity, which made it overwhelmingly happy.
6 AM in the morning. At the slightly loud sound of the alarm, Hye Yoon quickly reached out.
“Ugh……”
The pain spreading through her body was as swift as turning off the alarm. It was the moment when she tried to slightly lift the blanket with gritted teeth. Ji Ho’s large, warm hand gently gripped her wrist.
“……are you awake?”
“Yes…You can make breakfast next time. Your thoughtfulness alone is more than enough.”
His drowsy, weighty voice held her back. As she applied a slight force to the hand holding her wrist, Hye Yoon pulled her hand out and covered Ji Ho’s eyes with both her palms.
“Let’s sleep one more hour. I’ll come to wake you up.”
With his gesture and tone that had no intention of conceding, Ji Ho’s lips curved languidly. He couldn’t see it, but she also left the room with a similar expression and gesture.
Neatly placed on the table were beef soup, rice, and several side dishes.
From the moment Ji Ho picked up his spoon, Hye Yoon had her elbows on the table. The cheeks held by her palms were childishly cute, but her furrowed brows were seriously adultlike.
Ji Ho chewed his rice slowly. Still, his eyes were on the person sitting opposite him, pouring all her attention his way. It felt like eating affection, not food.
“It’s really delicious.”
“Um…It doesn’t seem like a lie…”
As he exaggeratedly nodded his head, Hye Yoon laughed in satisfaction. Only then did she lower her arms from the table and straighten her upper body.
She sporadically placed side dishes on Ji Ho’s rice. Staring intently at his face, which was eating like a good boy, guessing what side dishes he liked more was also a small joy.
Especially, when scooping the soup, his murmur, ‘I will remember this for later,’ seemed like something she herself would remember for a long time.
As soon as the short 30minute meal ended, Ji Ho’s cellphone rang. Judging by his saying ‘I’m leaving now.’ after hanging up, it seemed to be undoubtedly Bong Ki. She watched Ji Ho put on his shoes with a wistful look.
“When are you leaving for Busan today?”
“Probably around lunchtime.”
The hands that were so light when cooking felt incredibly heavy at the front door. As she tried to open the door and step out, Ji Ho stepped out as if to say there was no need. Eventually, they faced each other with the door gap between them.
“Have a safe trip. Make sure to contact me when you arrive.”
“……Yes.”
Both the sender and the one leaving were regretful, but Ji Ho tried his best not to show it. She knew Ji Ho’s way was an adultlike way of saying goodbye, but it irked her a little. So, she wanted to play a cute prank. It was a pranklike gift.
“Huh? What’s that?”
“Hm?”
When Ji Ho turned his head following Hye Yoon’s extended arm, she quickly held up her foot and made a pecking sound on his cheek.
“Hurry and go.”
Seeing his surprised expression pleased her and she thought it would be nice to send him off just like this. But unexpectedly, Ji Ho focused on her face.
“……Do you know there’s something on your face?”
“Eh, I just used that trick. I’m not falling for it.”
Unlike her, who was shaking her head calmly, a slight bewilderment showed on Ji Ho’s face. His feelings remained the same even as his finger pointed to the mirror by the shoe rack.
“Really… check the mirror.”
“Really?”
As her flustered body hurriedly leaned back…
“Hehe. You said you wouldn’t fall for it.”
The hand that had been pointing at the mirror quickly cupped her small cheek. It mimicked her exactly, only lightly touching her lips before pulling away.
“Wow, using your acting skills like this?”
Her wide eyes slightly smiled, following his expression. And even if they delayed it for a few seconds as a joke, it was really time to part.
“I’m really leaving now. See you next week.”
Ji Ho firmly pressed his gaze into Hye Yoon’s face.
“……Yes.”
And then, after repeating his short answer for a few more seconds, he opened the emergency exit door. Hye Yoon stood in her place until his gradually fading footsteps completely disappeared.
The week of not seeing him would start from tomorrow, but her heart already felt empty.
