Even as he untied the clumsily tied ribbon, the languid look in the man’s eyes had already sharpened.
Just as it seemed he might engulf her with a wave as big as a house, he gently pressed his lips to hers and then pulled away, contrary to what she might have expected.
“What are you trying to do?”
While maintaining a certain distance, a tender smile spread across his face as he looked down.
“I wasn’t drunk yesterday, just sleepy.”
“I know.”
“I remember everything.”
That all the emotions, gazes, expressions, and actions shared in silence last night were vividly preserved in her head, and in her heart.
“It was solely my feelings. Even though it was a contract, if I hadn’t wanted to, I wouldn’t have done it, me.”
Admittedly, there was a part of her that was moved knowing Tae Kyu was there, but that was just on the surface. It was all an excuse.
“The confession of liking you, even though I was drunk at the time, was definitely sincere. I can vouch for that. Because…….”
Eun Jae, who had been looking into the man’s eyes, trailed off her words. She felt as if she couldn’t continue with the rest of what she wanted to say while holding his gaze.
With her cheeks flushing, Eun Jae quietly lowered her eyes, trying to avoid his persistent stare.
Her small lips, having paused for a moment, began to move.
“I… really, truly… like Yoon Sun Woo so very much.”
Her voice was like a charming bird’s chirp, tickling as if it was meant for him alone, seemingly about to melt his ears any moment.
The words she gave timidly, yet plainly, kneaded Sun Woo’s heart at will. An unbearable emotion quickly rose and drew a curve on his lips without permission.
As if he had lived his whole life just to hear those words, Sun Woo’s previously empty chest filled with warmth.
“You finally call me by my name.”
A name filled with real, not fake, emotions.
“I like Ji Eun Jae so much too.”
Emotions he hadn’t fully acknowledged overflowed and revealed themselves through his expression. His face, streaming with a gentle smile, was the epitome of happiness.
“Why tell me so late?”
Eun Jae’s pouting was so adorable that Sun Woo couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“I already told you before.”
“So, why only now…….”
As Eun Jae slowly lifted her eyes, the corners were red. Her eyes that looked at him were quickly becoming moist.
“Do you know how hard I’ve tried to hide it, how much I struggled not to like you?”
Eun Jae’s voice, close to tears, soaked Sun Woo’s heart.
“But it doesn’t work like that, Yoon Sun Woo in my heart has grown too big, and at some point, it became too much to bear…….”
Sun Woo silently stroked the corners of Eun Jae’s eyes, which seemed on the verge of letting transparent beads roll down.
“Every time I give up but then see you, I feel happy, I smile. Then everything I resolved to do is forgotten. How am I supposed to give up, what can I possibly do…….”
Her hands, as if pretending to be angry, lightly tapped Sun Woo’s chest.
“Anyway, it’s been really hard for me!”
“Do you expect me to reflect by hitting me like that? You should hit harder.”
“Then it would hurt. I don’t want that.”
The tears that had filled her eyes now trailed down Sun Woo’s hand, wetting the back of it. Sun Woo gently stroked the tears from Eun Jae’s eyes, wiping away the remaining dampness.
“I felt the same way.”
“Really… you did?”
Her wet eyes widened in disbelief. She thought she had given a sure answer, but now the question came back to her.
But it wasn’t annoying at all. Rather, it was endearing. Sun Woo was confident he could give the same answer even if Eun Jae asked him a hundred times.
“Watch closely.”
With a slight smile, Sun Woo guided Eun Jae’s hand to his chest.
Letting her feel the wild thumping of his heart in front of her, telling her that it beats like this only for her.
“You’re the only one I can touch. Only you, Ji Eun Jae.”
His voice, sweeter than usual, layered over the rapid beating of his heart.
“I don’t know myself, but in front of you, everything seems possible.”
Closing her eyes, she could feel his vigorous heartbeat at her fingertips. It seemed she could feel his emotions just from that.
This heart, which turns red and becomes thoughtless only in front of you, felt so much like me.
Eun Jae tenderly stroked the chest where she could feel Sun Woo’s heartbeat.
Perhaps tickled by her touch, Sun Woo, who had been twitching, caught Eun Jae’s hand that had been smoothly navigating his broad chest and firmly pinned it to the bed sheet.
“How do you plan to deal with making me this crazy?”
Sun Woo, trapping Eun Jae securely beneath him so she couldn’t squirm away, slowly rubbed her forehead with his thumb.
“I’ve been holding back for a long time, haven’t I.”
Barely a hand’s width away, or perhaps even closer.
“I realized something this time.”
“What is it?”
“I don’t think I can be slow, no, I can’t be. Is that okay with you?”
His fingers, having stroked her forehead, now gently brushed Eun Jae’s earlobe. His half-closed eyes gleamed dangerously, seeking permission.
“Tell me it’s okay.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
