Why is Seong Jun standing over there?

Don’t tell me, I forgot to lock the door?

While Seo Yeon froze with her mind going blank, Seong Jun’s gaze moved from her face down to her chest. Seo Yeon let out a loud scream.

“W-What are you looking at?!”

At that, his gaze that had been lingering on her chest briefly moved up. But only for a moment. Feeling his shameless gaze moving back down again, Seo Yeon covered her chest with her arms and shouted.

“G-Get out!”

However, despite Seo Yeon’s shout, Seong Jun remained fixated on her chest as if entranced, showing no inclination to move as she wished.

Finally, reaching her limit of patience, Seo Yeon grabbed a towel hanging on the rack and threw it at him.

“I said get out!”

The towel landed precisely on Seong Jun’s face, and confirming this, Seo Yeon immediately hid her body in the bathtub.

Bang.

A moment later, the sound of the door closing was heard. Only then did Seo Yeon peek her face out of the tub, covering it with both hands in distress.

“I don’t know. What should I do.”

But the more distressed she became, the more blank Seo Yeon’s mind went.

In her previous life, on the night she spent with him, Seo Yeon had suggested turning off all the lights in the room, and fortunately he had agreed, allowing her to avoid fully exposing her naked body to her husband.

Even in the darkness of the room where they could barely make out each other’s silhouettes, Seo Yeon had shuddered all night long, embarrassed and flustered by her husband’s every movement and breath.

But now… Now…

Looking down at her own naked body, without a single thread of clothing, under bright lighting that could discern even the slightest facial expression, Seo Yeon bit her lip.

She covered her face with both hands again. But the more she did so, the more the heat on her flushed cheeks intensified.

“What should I do, really.”

Her head started to ache as she wondered what kind of expression she should make when facing her husband if she went outside right now.

Meanwhile, Seong Jun was having an even more agonizing time than Seo Yeon.

This was because the image of Seo Yeon’s naked body that he had just seen wouldn’t leave his mind.

‘What…’

He knew well that his wife was beautiful, both objectively and subjectively.

It was a well-known fact that whenever his wife went on blind dates, all the men fell for Seo Yeon’s beauty and pursued her. Moreover, even now, when she went out, lecherous gazes from men would follow her.

Even to his own eyes, his wife was an exceptional beauty. He just hadn’t had the chance to fully realize it.

But now, having unintentionally seen his wife’s naked body without a single thread of clothing, Seong Jun was acutely realizing that fact.

His wife’s body, which he had thought was just skinny, was, contrary to his expectations, perfectly mature and womanly.

Her body lines, curving where they should curve and dipping where they should dip, formed beautiful contours, and her snow-white skin, which seemed almost too pale, looked incredibly soft.

Seong Jun couldn’t take his eyes off his wife’s beautiful body. No, he didn’t want to look away.

“Damn it!”

Seong Jun cursed irritably and squeezed his eyes shut. It was an attempt to forget his wife’s body that kept flashing before his eyes.

But he soon regretted it.

Far from forgetting, closing his eyes only made the beautiful female body he had just witnessed appear more vividly, tormenting him further.

His chest felt so hot he thought he might go crazy.

He opened the living room window to cool down even a little.

As Seong Jun was momentarily cooling off, furrowing his brow and running his hand through his hair, it happened.

Click.

A brief door sound echoed in the quiet house.

A moment later, the figure of the protagonist who had plunged him into such agony for a short time entered Seong Jun’s field of vision.

Wrapping her body in a large shower towel, she had a somewhat awkward expression, but when Seong Jun’s gaze started to move down to her chest again, her eyes quickly sharpened.

“Where do you think you’re looking?!”

After shouting like that, she glared at Seong Jun up and down as if looking at some beast, then hurriedly raised her hands to cover her chest area.

Seong Jun felt extremely wronged by Seo Yeon’s wary attitude, as if she were looking at some lecher, but he couldn’t become the beast-like person she thought he was, so he struggled to raise his gaze upwards.

“Why did you come in without knocking?”

But when Seo Yeon once again treated him like a lecherous wolf and gave him an annoyingly wary look, he spoke in an unintentionally choked voice.

“The first floor is my bathroom that I use.”

Seo Yeon retorted as if feeling wronged.

“It’s not your bathroom, it’s a shared bathroom!”

However, Seong Jun wasn’t one to easily give in to Seo Yeon.

“For the past 3 years, you never used it and only I used it, so it is my bathroom. Why were you suddenly showering in my bathroom?”

When Seong Jun pointed this out, Seo Yeon pursed her lips with a momentarily flustered look and said,

“That’s… That’s… The shower in the bathroom in my room broke down, so I had no choice!”

“And you didn’t even lock the door. Is that my fault too?”

Seong Jun continued to back Seo Yeon into a corner.

“That’s not it, but…”

Seo Yeon trailed off as if she had nothing to say. Biting her lip as if frustrated, she rebutted again after a moment.

“Okay, let’s say not locking the door was clearly my mistake. But what about after that? If you came in by mistake, you should have left quickly, why did you keep staring like that?”

At those words, Seong Jun felt a pang of guilt.

In fact, he had only been flustered by the sudden situation for a moment, and he had been fully aware from beginning to end.

Rather, he clearly heard his wife’s voice telling him to leave, but momentarily hesitated to turn away out of a desire to look at the beautiful female body before him for a long time. The entire situation had unfolded under his own will.

He didn’t want his wife to discover his impure desires.

Even now, when he hadn’t done anything, she was looking at him with a guarded expression as if seeing some beast. If she found out his true feelings, it was clear how she would think of him. So he decided to act brazen instead.

“Did I look because I wanted to see? You showed yourself.”

“What did you say?”

“I’m more of a victim in this situation. Because I witnessed an unwanted sight. I’m the one who should receive an apology.”

“…!”

Seo Yeon’s face looking at Seong Jun gradually turned red and blue.

“If you still feel wronged, I’ll show you my body too. Then it’ll be fair. Is that what you want?”

At Seong Jun’s continued brazen words, Seo Yeon shook her head in bewilderment.

“I-I don’t want to see such things!”

At that moment, Seong Jun furrowed his brow. He was momentarily at a loss for words because his wife, who had been looking at him as if he were some lecherous beast just moments ago, now had a flushed face and seemed at a loss for what to do, which looked incredibly cute.

How could that appearance look so adorable? Am I perhaps being bewitched by a ghost?

“…Go put on some proper clothes first.”

Seong Jun squeezed his eyes shut and spat out those words. He had a feeling that if he kept looking at his wife’s alluring figure any longer, things would really become dangerous.

“…!”

Only then did Seo Yeon, realizing that she was in an almost half-naked state, turn around with a shocked expression.

“Hah…”

Seong Jun, furrowing his brow as he followed Seo Yeon’s retreating figure with his eyes, let out another agonized sigh.

*

“He says he’s the victim instead?”

Seo Yeon fumed at Seong Jun’s attitude of arguing about right and wrong instead of apologizing to her.

Even so, could he have been more mentally shocked than herself, who had exposed her naked body without a single thread of clothing under blindingly bright lighting?

Now, rather than feeling ashamed and embarrassed, her mind was filled with the emotion of finding her husband so annoying that she couldn’t stand it.

“He says he’ll show his body if I feel wronged. What kind of nonsensical logic is that.”

The husband she knew was always rational and logical to everyone with a businesslike, almost cold expression.

Seo Yeon sometimes suspected that her husband might be a robot.

But that cold man seemed to have disappeared somewhere.

He joked more often than expected, was surprisingly compassionate, but also quite brazen and selfish on the contrary.

The more she thought about it, the more dumbfounded and flustered she felt.

“Who wants to see such a thing!”

Of course, in her previous life, Seo Yeon had never seen her husband’s body, not even his bare upper body.

There was only one chance to see it, but she herself had turned off all the lights in the room because it was embarrassing.

However, the sensations and feelings of his body that she experienced during their one night together are still vividly remembered.

The firm chest muscles and abs, and the strong arms that held her tightly.

Seo Yeon’s face instantly turned red.

As if just recalling that memory made her heart flutter.

“I’ve gone crazy.”

Seo Yeon irritably opened the closet door.

“I’m not in my right mind.”

As if bewildered by herself for quickly imagining what that body might look like, when just moments ago she had told her husband she didn’t want to see such a thing.

After quickly scanning the closet with her eyes, she chose gray sweats, the clothing that could most perfectly cover her body among what she owned.

After carefully covering her body like that and going back out to the living room, her husband who spotted her raised the corner of his mouth as if finding her ridiculous.
