Psst! We're moving!
Mrs. Choi began cooking, skillfully utilizing the ingredients in the refrigerator.
Using Yewon’s usual kitchen tools, she prepared dishes with astonishing speed.
The humble side dishes exuded the comforting essence of a home-cooked meal.
Though Yewon hadn’t felt the slightest bit hungry earlier, the mouthwatering aroma wafting through the air made her swallow hard in anticipation.
“Madam, you said it’s not time for dinner yet, right? I’ll serve it soon.”
“Yes, and please join me for the meal, Mrs. Choi.”
“I’d be delighted.”
Mrs. Choi transferred a perfectly rolled omelette from the cutting board onto a plate.
Yewon approached her and glanced over the array of side dishes on the counter.
“The braised lotus roots look amazing. No matter how much I try, I can never get that deep color.”
“Just add black garlic. Some people use coffee, but I find black garlic works better. Would you like to try some?”
Mrs. Choi picked up a piece of the braised lotus root with her chopsticks and held it up to Yewon’s mouth.
Though no one had ever fed her like this before, making her feel slightly awkward, Yewon parted her lips slightly.
The lotus root slid into her mouth.
As she chewed, her eyes widened in surprise.
“Mmm, it’s so delicious.”
The crunchy yet chewy texture was exquisite.
When Yewon gave a thumbs-up, Mrs. Choi smiled with satisfaction.
“I’m glad you like it. Please take a seat. I’ll set the table quickly.”
“I’ll help too. Can you hand me the rice scoop and bowl nearby?”
“Of course. Just leave everything else to me once you’re done, and relax.”
“Yes, Mrs. Choi.”
Yewon scooped rice into bowls and fetched mugs from the cupboard, filling them with water.
The house, which had always been filled with silence, now felt alive with the presence of another person.
She had initially expected Mrs. Choi’s arrival—arranged unilaterally by Seung-hyun—to be nothing but an inconvenience.
Perhaps she wasn’t used to being alone; she simply hadn’t met anyone in the past two years.
“Please sit down.”
“Thank you.”
Once Mrs. Choi took her seat across from Yewon, they began their meal.
True to her earlier claim, every dish she had prepared was heavenly.
Yewon couldn’t stop marveling as she busily moved her chopsticks from one dish to another.
“When I was pregnant with my first child, my morning sickness was so severe that I lost nearly ten kilograms.”
“What? Ten kilograms?”
Startled, Yewon repeated the number, and Mrs. Choi nodded with a gentle smile.
“As a result, I became very weak and spent most of the pregnancy lying down.”
“I had no idea morning sickness could be that bad.”
“Neither did I. That’s why you should eat plenty while you can. You need good stamina to endure even if you lose weight later.”
Mrs. Choi pushed the plate of marinated grilled ribs toward Yewon.
Every gesture of hers radiated warmth.
“Thank you.”
Yewon carefully picked up a piece of meat, chewing and swallowing it slowly.
Though their only connection was Seung-hyun and they had just met today, she was deeply grateful for Mrs. Choi’s care.
‘If my mom were still alive, would it have felt like this?’
She had always wanted to build a family but worried about whether she could succeed, having never seen one up close.
Yet, spending time with Mrs. Choi made her hopeful that she might gradually learn what it means to be a mother.
Yewon fervently wished that Mrs. Choi would remain a kind and supportive figure in her life.

[An arranged car will pick you up. Meet me at the hospital at 2 PM.]
The day Seung-hyun had planned for had arrived.
It was the day for Yewon’s pre-pregnancy checkup.
After finishing her preparations, Yewon arrived at the hospital in the car driven by the chauffeur Seung-hyun had sent.
“Hoo.”
Though she had visited gynecologists countless times due to Jong-hee’s meddling, this was the first time she was undergoing a proper examination.
Worried about potential abnormalities, Yewon’s palms grew sweaty with nervousness.
“You arrived right on time.”
At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind her.
Seung-hyun appeared beside her, halting his steps.
“You’re here?”
“Why are you standing around out here instead of going inside?”
“I guess I got a little nervous now that we’re here.”
“Nervous? Don’t be.”
Seung-hyun murmured softly as he extended his hand toward her.
They often held hands in public, and since they had been meeting frequently lately, this gesture felt natural.
Without a word, Yewon cautiously placed her hand in his.
Their fingers intertwined tightly.
‘Here we go again.’
While Seung-hyun appeared completely unfazed, Yewon’s heart raced.
She worried the sound of her pounding heartbeat might echo in the otherwise silent elevator.
Fortunately, they reached the VIP lounge without incident.
Yewon took a deep breath to steady herself.
Before entering the consultation room, they filled out medical questionnaires in a separate area.
The quiet scratching of pen on paper was suddenly interrupted by a high-pitched voice.
“Oh my! Isn’t that Seung-hyun?”
It was Mi-jin, Seung-hyun’s aunt.
Her shrill tone made Yewon’s shoulders tense.
“Ah, Aunt Mi-jin.”
Without permission, she quickly scanned the forms they were filling out.
Her sharp eyes narrowed as though she had already pieced everything together.
“So I was right. You haven’t just started trying recently—you’ve been unable to conceive for two years, haven’t you? Though this hospital isn’t as prestigious as the one I recommended, the doctor here is skilled, so you’ll have good news soon.”
Mi-jin’s gaze lingered heavily on Yewon’s face.
Her expression implied the blame lay entirely with Yewon.
“We’re just here for a routine prenatal checkup.”
“How could she choose the same path as me, your mother-in-law? It’s almost as if she’s determined to ruin another family.”
Ignoring Seung-hyun’s words, Mi-jin continued spouting her own thoughts.
Her remarks crossed boundaries, prompting Seung-hyun to glare at her with piercing intensity.
“At least we don’t have to worry about the family line being cut off because of your family’s contributions.”
“What, what do you mean?”
Mi-jin flinched and stuttered as she glanced at Yewon nervously.
‘Why did I provoke her?’
Seung-hyun replied nonchalantly.
“I heard Tae-hyun has been contributing to Korea’s birthrate—not just in Hungary but here too.”
“…!”
“If he had shown up for Grandfather’s birthday, he would’ve been pleased. Oh wait, wasn’t the child born in Korea Tae-hyun’s?”
“What are you trying to do to me?!”
Mi-jin’s voice trembled with rage.
The reason was clear: the child born in Korea wasn’t Tae-hyun’s but rather the offspring of Suk-joon, Mi-jin’s husband, and his mistress.
“Were you so worried about your son’s child being lonely that you decided to give him a sibling yourself? Uncle Suk-joon must really love his son—”
Slap!
Mi-jin swung her hand and struck Seung-hyun across the face.
“Seung-hyun!”
Yewon, more startled than Seung-hyun, stared at him with a pale face.
A drop of red blood welled at the corner of his lips.
“How dare you treat me like this after all the affection I’ve shown you!”
“Have you forgotten how you treated me after my mother passed away?”
“That’s because you clung to that woman and drove me mad! You were the one who started it!”
Mi-jin shouted, pointing accusingly at him.
“A child simply sought a way to survive. If you truly cared for me, you wouldn’t have remained oblivious until things escalated so far.”
Before his mother’s death, Mi-jin had doted on Seung-hyun.
But once he entered middle school and began obediently following his father Suk-Pil’s instructions to learn management, her attitude toward him shifted.
Ambitious and power-hungry, Mi-jin couldn’t possibly view Seung-hyun—her son Tae-hyun’s rival—with kindness.
And as Seung-hyun showed promise in business, her anxiety only grew.
Though Mi-jin thought she hid her true feelings well, Seung-hyun saw right through her.
“In that case, excuse us. We’ll take our leave now.”
Seung-hyun led Yewon out of the waiting room.
This wasn’t the first time such an incident had occurred, but it always required effort to navigate.
As they walked, staring straight ahead, Yewon tugged firmly on Seung-hyun’s hand.
Their steps halted naturally, and Seung-hyun turned to look at her.
Her face was filled with concern.
“Let me see your face for a moment.”
Yewon stepped closer and gently touched his lips with her thumb.
It was the spot where Mi-jin had slapped him moments ago.
“How could anyone do that to another person...”
Her murmured words and furrowed brow as she focused on his lips caught his attention.
Though they had shared intimate moments before, the subtle sensation of her fingertips brushing against his lips stirred something unfamiliar within him.
It felt stranger than when he had used his tongue on her most private areas.
An intense thirst surged inside him, a desire to pull her into his mouth.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
Flustered by the unexpected stirring in his body, Seung-hyun pushed her hand away.
“I’m sorry.”
Seeing Yewon immediately withdraw her hand, looking unsure of what to do, made him feel like the guilty one.
She hadn’t done anything wrong.
It was clearly his fault for letting his thoughts wander, yet he had no idea what to say.
“Ms. Kim Yewon, please come to the examination room.”
At that moment, a voice called out to them.
“Let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Seung-hyun watched Yewon’s retreating figure as she walked ahead.
‘This feeling—it’s not quite guilt.’
An indescribable emotion slithered through his body like a snake.
‘Kim Yewon.’
Just a few weeks ago, they were practically strangers.
Yet lately, she kept crossing his mind. Quite often, in fact.
---
After Mi-jin’s return, Jong-hee had become extremely irritable.
Storming into the kitchen, she yanked open the refrigerator door and muttered curses upon seeing its contents.
“These were the things Yewon brought from Seongbuk-dong to prepare for my birthday meal.”
Jong-hee had found them inconvenient and refused to touch them, ordering the staff to dispose of everything days ago.
Yet, even after two days, the items remained untouched.
“What is this nonsense?”
She slammed the refrigerator door shut and shouted. The staff rushed over, trembling.
“What’s going on?”
“I told you to throw all this out days ago! Are my words meaningless to you?”
She pointed rudely and spoke down to the older staff member, showing no decorum.
Though her behavior lacked refinement, Jong-hee didn’t care to act proper even when alone at home.
“This is my house, and these people work for me. Why shouldn’t I act however I want?”
She justified her actions to herself as she continued behaving arrogantly.
“The ingredients were so fresh, it felt wasteful to throw them out...”
“Wasteful? Do you think good ingredients are rare? Stop acting so miserly.”
Jong-hee clicked her tongue dismissively, shaking her head.
She paid no attention to the staff member, whose neck had turned bright red from embarrassment.
“If it’s such a waste, why don’t you take it home and eat it yourself?”
With those final spiteful words, she turned and headed toward the dressing room.
Unable to stay in the house any longer, she scanned the rows of clothes, planning to go out.
But then—
“AAAAH!”
She screamed, clutching her head with both hands.
For the past two years, Jong-hee had manipulated Yewon at her whim, and now she simply couldn’t accept the sudden change in circumstances.
To make matters worse, Mi-jin’s unexpected return only added to her frustration.
They say troubles come in clusters, but this felt excessive.
“Why did that woman Choi have to come back?”
Yewon had clearly expressed discomfort with having others around the house.
Jong-hee had enjoyed free rein over the household until now, but suddenly, even that was becoming difficult.
“Surely they’re not already pregnant…?”
Overwhelmed by mounting anxiety, Jong-hee gnawed on her nails.
After observing Seung-hyun and Yewon for two years, their interactions seemed lukewarm despite pretending to be affectionate.
Though they put on a show of closeness, there was no real emotional connection.
Still, Jong-hee worried that living together as man and wife might eventually lead to intimacy.
—”Actually, we’ve been thinking about it. If we miss this chance, it might be too late, so we’re considering moving quickly.”
Had those words been sincere or just an act?
After securing her position as the daughter-in-law of the Donghwa Group, Jong-hee had endured years of humiliation, unable to conceive and treated like nothing more than a failure.
Though she knew it was petty, she wanted Yewon to suffer the same treatment she had endured.
An emotional dumping ground.
That’s all Yewon was to her.
So while Jong-hee outwardly pressured Yewon about pregnancy, she secretly ensured it would never happen.
Though IVF treatments failed, she deliberately recommended foods that interfered with implantation and prescribed herbal medicines.
Perhaps due to her efforts, Yewon’s pregnancy tests always showed a single line.
Not pregnant.
Everything was going according to plan, and it filled her with satisfaction.
At this rate, even if she pushed for divorce, Yewon would have no grounds to argue.
“If only Seung-hyun hadn’t barged into the house that day!”
Jong-hee clenched her teeth tightly.
Her anger boiled inside her, with no outlet to release it, making her feel like she was about to explode.
When this happened, shopping at the department store was the only way to momentarily calm herself down.
Jong-hee dressed and stormed out of the dressing room.
---
Knock, knock.
A knock echoed through Seung-hyun’s office.
“Come in.”
Seung-hyun, who had been reviewing materials for an upcoming executive meeting, set his tablet down and looked up.
Massaging the stiffness in the back of his neck, he watched the door open.
Se-ah entered.
“Take a seat.”
“Yes, CEO.”
As Se-ah chuckled softly, Seung-hyun stood from his chair.
With Seung-hyun expanding into overseas construction projects, the company needed a more specialized and experienced lawyer beyond the in-house legal team.
During his search for a capable lawyer to work long-term, he connected with Se-ah.
Her qualifications aligned perfectly with what he envisioned.
Though he couldn’t meet all her demands, Se-ah accepted the offer willingly, allowing him to establish an overseas legal team centered around her.
“Would you like some tea?”
“No, I’m fine. I already had some.”
Since Seung-hyun wasn’t particularly interested either, he sat across from her.
She handed over a stack of documents.
“These are additional papers sent from Singapore. You can review them thoroughly. This one contains case studies of disputes during overseas construction projects.”
Seung-hyun flipped through the pages as Se-ah explained.
Though no such issues had arisen yet, studying these cases would undoubtedly prove useful in the future.
Seung-hyun listened intently, absorbing every word.
When he reached the final page, he looked up with a satisfied expression.
“You’ve prepared everything well. But do you really need to address me so formally when it’s just the two of us?”
“I don’t want to risk slipping up in formal settings. We’re already close enough; I don’t want things to get too casual at work.”
“Alright, fair enough.”
Though he wanted to keep things relaxed between them due to their past familiarity, Se-ah firmly rejected the idea.
While organizing the documents on the table, she casually brought up another topic.
“By the way, it’s my birthday today.”
Seung-hyun’s eyebrows shot up before settling back into place.
“Oh, really? Happy birthday.”
“I definitely mentioned it a few days ago, but you seem to have forgotten.”
Se-ah gave him a reproachful look.
“Sorry. Let’s schedule dinner soon.”
“I’m free tonight.”
“Really?”
Surprised, Seung-hyun raised his tone slightly.
“You probably think I have some personality issue since I don’t have many friends. Honestly, I don’t have anyone else to celebrate with.”
“You’re something else.”
“I’m just stating facts. Think of it as helping a poor soul—can we grab dinner tonight? The company pays me pretty well, so money’s not an issue.”
Seung-hyun had planned to finish work early and head home that evening.
He still hadn’t given Yewon the baby shoes Hyo-Jin had gifted him.
Feeling awkward about it, he’d kept delaying, but he’d decided to give them to her tonight.
“What, are you refusing even though I’m offering to treat you?”
“It’s not that…”
“Are you worried Yewon might dislike me having dinner alone with you?”
“…”
Though that wasn’t the reason, the mention of Yewon made him smile faintly.
At the sound of Yewon’s name, Se-ah switched to informal speech and brushed her arms exaggeratedly, as if getting goosebumps.
“Then invite Yewon too! I’ve been curious about how she’s doing anyway. Since we all know each other, it’ll be nice to eat together, don’t you think?”
Hearing her point, he realized she was right.
Resting his chin on his hand, Seung-hyun thought for a moment before responding.
“I’ll check with her and get back to you within an hour.”
“Wow, even the mighty Cha Seung-hyun is tightly controlled by his wife after marriage, huh?”
“It’s only natural.”
“True. They say it’s better for the peace of the household. How long has it been since you got married?”
“Two years.”
Seung-hyun replied briefly.
Se-ah puckered her lips into an “O” shape and let out a low whistle.
“I lost contact with Yewon after she dropped out of school, and I didn’t know anyone she was close to. How did you two reconnect? Wait, Yewon knew your family was part of Donghwa Group, right? Did she apply to this company on purpose?”
“She didn’t apply—I brought her in. I needed someone I could trust, and she came to mind.”
“Why? Did something happen between you two?”
The moment Yewon’s name came up, Se-ah unleashed a barrage of questions.
“You’re really curious about Yewon.”
Were they close?
As far as Seung-hyun remembered, they weren’t.
“I guess I’m just itching for some juicy gossip—it’s been ages since I’ve dated anyone. If it makes you uncomfortable, just skip it.”
Perhaps Se-ah hoped he’d reassure her and answer freely.
But since there was nothing between him and Yewon beyond their contract, he found it hard to respond.
Then it struck him—perhaps someday, the child born from their union would grow up and ask about their story.
—”How did you and Mom meet? Was it love at first sight because Mom was so beautiful?”
He himself had once asked such innocent questions.
‘It seems preparing for pregnancy involves quite a bit.’
Frowning slightly, he scratched his forehead with his index finger before looking up.
“This won’t work.”
“Huh?”
“I just remembered—Yewon has an important prior engagement. Let me treat you to dinner another time.”
He decided to start preparing, one step at a time, starting now.
---
“Huh?”
Yewon blinked rapidly as she checked her vibrating phone.
[Kim Yewon. I’ll pick you up after work. Don’t eat dinner and get ready to go out.]
At first, she thought Seung-hyun had sent the message by mistake.
If he hadn’t included her name, she might have asked if he’d mistaken the recipient.
She read the message over and over again.
Though it wasn’t technically a date request, it somehow felt like one.
Her heart fluttered, which annoyed her a little—but she didn’t dislike it.
“What’s the message about?”
Mrs. Choi, sitting across from her as they enjoyed Shine Muscat grapes and warm coffee, asked curiously.
Yewon’s awkward smile and sudden frown must have seemed odd.
“He told me not to eat dinner and to wait… But you went through all the trouble of cooking. I feel bad.”
Yewon laughed nervously, but Mrs. Choi looked puzzled.
“Why should you feel bad? This is my job. Honestly, I’ve been worried because you two haven’t gone on dates much. I’m actually happy about this.”
“Ah…”
Yewon trailed off, wondering if Mrs. Choi had sensed something strange.
Mrs. Choi popped a grape into her mouth and chewed thoughtfully.
“It’s really hard for couples to spend time together once the baby arrives. Make the most of your dates until the delivery day.”
“Thank you for the advice.”
If that was her reasoning, it was reassuring.
Avoiding Mrs. Choi’s gaze, Yewon sighed in relief.
She glanced at Seung-hyun’s message again.
[Kim Yewon. I’ll pick you up after work. Don’t eat dinner and get ready to go out.]
This kind of message was a first in two years.
Absurdly, her heart raced as if she’d received a confession from him.
Outside the window, the season’s first snowflakes fluttered like butterflies.
---
Seung-hyun arrived home ten minutes before six o’clock sharp.
Opening the middle door, he stepped inside and surveyed the house. It was eerily quiet, as if no one was home.
‘Did she not see the message?’
Now that he thought about it, Yewon hadn’t replied.
He regretted not calling her just before leaving.
It had been a rather one-sided date invitation, after all.
“Hmm.”
Since he was already home, he decided to call her.
As he pulled out his phone and was about to dial Yewon’s number, he noticed the dressing room door slightly ajar.
A faint light spilled through the crack.
‘Is she in there?’
Seung-hyun put his phone back in his pocket and strode toward the dressing room. He carefully opened the door.
Just as he expected, Yewon was inside.
...With her back fully exposed.
“Oh!”
Startled, Yewon turned around. She had been in the middle of zipping up her dress.
Realizing the situation might get awkward if he lingered, Seung-hyun stepped inside and closed the door behind him.
“That’s a new dress.”
He gently pushed her hand away from the zipper and gathered her long hair, sweeping it forward over her shoulder.
“Let me do it.”
“No, it’s fine. I can do it myself.”
“Just stay still.”
Seung-hyun brushed her aside again and placed his hand on the zipper.
Though he tried to act nonchalant, every accidental brush of her bare skin against his fingers made his body twitch involuntarily.
He had noticed before, during their time at the hotel, how pale and almost translucent her skin was.
Unbidden, memories of the last time he had seen her bare skin resurfaced—the way he had struggled to contain himself, groaning softly at the sight.
Seung-hyun wanted to lower the half-zipped zipper again and press his lips against her exposed white skin, biting down gently.
If he sucked hard enough, she’d probably tremble and writhe her waist in response.
The thought of leaving red marks on her pale skin made his Adam’s apple bob uncontrollably.
‘I’m not some animal in heat.’
His lewd imagination was accompanied by a heavy throbbing ache below.
Zzzzip.
Even the mundane sound of zipping up felt unbearably sensual, echoing in his ears.
Fighting off the intense temptation, Seung-hyun forced himself to zip it all the way up.
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing.”
He couldn’t drag her into the bedroom after coming here for a date.
Seung-hyun tried to shake off his surging desire.
“You came quickly.”
“It started snowing, so I hurried.”
He wasn’t one to speak at length normally, but today his answers were especially curt.
If he spoke too much, he feared he might say something he shouldn’t.
“But why today? What’s the occasion? You suddenly asked me not to eat dinner and come out.”
Yewon turned toward him, adjusting her dress.
The pristine white gown resembled a wedding dress, making her look like a small rabbit nestled in the snow.
Seung-hyun took in her appearance before answering slowly.
“If we have a baby now, I’m afraid it’ll be obvious that we’re not normal parents.”
“What do you mean?”
Her wide-eyed expression reminded him of a squirrel.
---
Seung-hyun found himself unsettled by the thoughts he kept having while standing in front of Yewon.
“I’ve heard that when kids grow up, they start asking about their parents’ stories. I figured we should create some answers to give them, starting now.”
“Ah, I see what you mean. Like… going on dates, right?”
“Yes.”
He almost corrected her, saying it wasn’t just “like” a date—it was a date—but swallowed the words instead.
Hidden beneath his thick coat was the painfully obvious bulge betraying his arousal.
Ever since crossing that line with her, his body reacted uncontrollably every time he saw Yewon.
‘This is a first.’
Even in his younger, more vigorous years, he hadn’t experienced this.
He had always tried to live detached and indifferent, yet Yewon had ignited a fire within him.
“I think it’s a good idea. Let’s make this kind of time together a regular thing.”
“Alright.”
It seemed he had gone too long without release.
---
The place Seung-hyun took Yewon to was a sky lounge overlooking the Han River.
The VIP lounge on the upper floors was dazzlingly luxurious, leaving one unsure where to rest their eyes.
Perhaps because Christmas was approaching, the main lobby was adorned with a large, glittering tree.
Lost in the moment, Yewon soaked in the year-end atmosphere as they entered the restaurant.
‘This really feels like a proper date.’
Not wanting to appear overly excited, Yewon tried several times to compose herself.
Just like when she received the message earlier, her pride was slightly bruised—but she didn’t dislike it.
She planned to secretly savor this memory-making time, even if it was forced.
“Let me guide you.”
Following the staff’s lead, they entered the most private room at the back, which offered a breathtaking view of the night scenery.
Being here with him alone was enough to fill Yewon’s chest with happiness.
Others might dismiss it as trivial, but to her, even this was precious.
Unrequited love had always been like that.
After taking their seats, the server returned and filled the table with mouthwatering dishes.
“Wow.”
Without realizing it, Yewon let out a small exclamation.
The delicious aroma made her swallow hard in anticipation.
“What do you like?”
“I enjoy seafood.”
Yewon pointed at the lobster with her finger.
Now that she looked closer, there were various types of meat and seafood.
Could it be... that he intentionally prepared such a diverse menu?
Yewon entertained the thought, imagining scenarios in her head. Everything about this evening felt wonderful.
Soon, the meal began.
Seung-hyun placed a small piece of steak in his mouth, chewing slowly.
After sipping some wine, he looked at Yewon.
“I want you to tell me what you like and dislike.”
“Hmm. I don’t particularly like or dislike anything. I tend to adapt to the situation.”
In a normal couple, they’d learn about each other during dates, but they didn’t have that luxury.
It was already a miracle that Seung-hyun, who was always busy, had found time for this today.
As these thoughts crossed her mind, an image of Se-ah getting into Seung-hyun’s car outside the company flashed in her head.
But unwilling to let Se-ah intrude on this precious moment, Yewon tried to shake the thought away.
“When you act ambiguously, others treat you that way too.”
“Huh?”
Yewon looked at him quizzically.
“You’re like watered-down water or diluted alcohol. That’s probably why Mother treated you that way. Start by practicing how to express what you like and dislike.”
Though she didn’t understand why their conversations always veered this way, his advice did help her.
Bitter as it was, she nodded reluctantly.
Seung-hyun, showing no change in expression, chewed his food and dabbed his lips with a napkin.
“Do you remember Yoon Se-ah from our university alumni group? We were in the same club.”
“Cough!”
Yewon nearly spat out the food in her mouth.
Barely managing to cover her mouth, she cleared her throat and gulped down some mineral water.
‘I only thought about her, but…’
Feeling flustered, Yewon panicked, wondering if she had accidentally said Se-ah’s name out loud.
“Are you okay?”
He handed her a napkin, concern flickering briefly in his eyes.
“Yes, I’m fine. Se-ah? Of course I remember her. But why bring her up all of a sudden?”
Could it be that he was about to announce her as someone he’s been seeing?
Or perhaps Se-ah had objected to Seung-hyun and Yewon having a child.
The one-second wait for his reply felt like an eternity, and all sorts of thoughts raced through her mind.
“Ah, well…”
And just as he began to speak—
Seung-hyun’s phone, resting on the table, vibrated.
<Se-ah>
Her name appeared on the screen as if she had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
“Let me take this call. It might be work-related.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
Despite the turmoil inside her, Yewon kept her voice calm.
Under the table, she tightly gripped the hem of her dress.
‘Work-related?’
If that were true, did it mean the two of them were working together?
Yewon’s entire focus was on Seung-hyun as she absentmindedly poked at her salad with her fork.
“Mm.”
Why did it make her so relieved to hear him answer Se-ah in his usual curt tone?
It reassured her that they weren’t in any special relationship, and she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
“Who is it?”
At Seung-hyun’s next words, Yewon looked up at him.
Something seemed to be happening.
“Ah… I’ll head over now.”
“…!”
At his response, Yewon’s heart sank.
‘Where does he suddenly have to go?’
She had come out excited for their date, but now it felt like her hopes were being torn apart.
After quickly ending the call, Seung-hyun hesitated for a moment before addressing Yewon.
“I’m sorry, but I need to go.”
“It’s Se-ah, right?”
“Yeah, it is.”
“…Are you seeing her?”
Unable to hold it in any longer, Yewon finally voiced the question that had been weighing on her mind.
Her heartbeat thundered in her ears as if her heart had relocated there.
Seung-hyun tilted his head slightly and stared at her before crossing one leg over the other.
“When you ask if we’re ‘seeing each other,’ do you mean romantically?”
“…Yes, that’s what I mean. Actually… I saw the two of you together near the office once when I had some errands to run.”
Once she started being honest, the words spilled out effortlessly.
She didn’t think he’d suspect her feelings based on just this much.
‘Was it wrong to bring this up?’
Worried he might think she was overstepping, Yewon held her breath.
“Se-ah has joined our company as the head of the overseas legal team.”
“Ah, I see…?”
This explanation hadn’t crossed her mind.
While she felt relieved, she also remembered how Se-ah used to have feelings for Seung-hyun, which made her uneasy.
Working together meant they would inevitably meet often.
“I already turned down her request for dinner tonight because I had plans with you.”
Thump.
Her heart fluttered uncontrollably at those words.
“Does Se-ah know we’re married?”
“Of course. There was no reason to hide it, so I told her from the start.”
That alone made Yewon incredibly happy.
She wondered what Se-ah thought upon hearing that news.
A faint sense of victory softened Yewon’s previously tense expression.
“But it seems she’s quite drunk now. The manager called me—maybe my number was at the top of her recent calls list.”
“That could be.”
Though she nodded along, Yewon wasn’t convinced.
‘No one leaves their phone unlocked these days.’
For some reason, it felt like Se-ah had deliberately set up this situation.
A nagging suspicion crept in—was Seung-hyun unknowingly falling for her trap?
“I’ll drop her off at home and come back. Wait here. It won’t take long.”
“No, I want to come with you.”
When Yewon insisted on following, Seung-hyun gave her a questioning look.
“I don’t want to stay here alone. It feels like I have some hidden story or something.”
Though no one would check on her, she offered the excuse lightly.
If he refused, there was nothing she could do.
But she figured it was worth trying, even if the odds were slim.
Fortunately, he nodded.
“It’s not appropriate for a man to enter a woman’s home alone, even if they’re friends. You can help with that.”
“Alright.”
Yewon brightened, her lips curling into a wide smile.
His agreement confirmed what she wanted to hear—that there was nothing special between him and Se-ah.
‘I’m glad I asked honestly.’
It was her first time doing something like this, and she felt oddly satisfied.
Perhaps if she continued this approach, she could slowly grow closer to Seung-hyun.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Once again, Seung-hyun firmly took her hand.
---
The VIP sky lounge where Se-ah was located wasn’t far from where Seung-hyun and Yewon had been.
Upon arrival, the two looked around for Se-ah.
“Huh? Isn’t that Se-ah over there?”
“Yes, it is.”
Yewon spotted her first.
Because of Seung-hyun’s wide strides, Yewon had to practically jog to keep up with him.
Se-ah lay slumped motionlessly at the bar, seemingly asleep.
When Seung-hyun and Yewon stopped beside her, the manager approached them.
“Are you Cha Seung-hyun?”
“Yes, that’s me. How long has she been like this?”
“About thirty minutes. She hasn’t shown any signs of waking up, so I called you.”
“Thank you for your concern. We’ll take care of her from here.”
“One moment.”
After confirming a few details with Seung-hyun, the manager handed Se-ah over to him.
Seung-hyun stood silently, looking down at Se-ah before turning to Yewon.
“There’s a hotel right above us. It might be better to book a room for her.”
“Will Se-ah be okay alone?”
Yewon didn’t know why those words slipped out.
The moment he heard them, Seung-hyun frowned.
“She’s a grown adult. Why are you worried?”
“You’re right…”
Embarrassed, Yewon smoothed the back of her hair with her hand.
“Our date—should we call it quits here? Or should we do something more?”
“…!”
Yewon’s cheeks flushed as if they were on fire.
She hadn’t expected to see this side of Seung-hyun in real life, not just in her imagination.
Her heart was pounding so loudly she feared the sound might reach him if she opened her mouth.
Instead of answering, she simply nodded.
But at that moment—
“Mmm.”
Se-ah, who had been collapsed until just moments ago, slowly sat up.
Blinking languidly, she took in Seung-hyun and Yewon standing before her.
From afar, Yewon hadn’t noticed earlier, but up close, Se-ah was breathtakingly beautiful—even another woman like Yewon couldn’t help but admire her.
She looked like an actress one might mistake for a celebrity on the street.
Under Se-ah’s intense gaze, Yewon eventually broke eye contact first.
“Se-ah, it’s been a while. I’m Kim Yewon.”
Though she likely already knew, Yewon introduced herself briefly.
“Oh my, you’ve become so beautiful I didn’t recognize you. Did you get surgery?”
“No… Thank you for the compliment.”
For someone who had been unconscious, her words were surprisingly clear.
Something about Se-ah felt off.
“I heard you married Seung-hyun. Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
“Looks like he’s treating you well—you’re glowing.”
At that moment, Yewon noticed Se-ah’s hand lightly grabbing and then releasing Seung-hyun’s sleeve.
“Were you always this crazy about Seung-hyun? Looks like you finally succeeded.”
“…!”
In front of Seung-hyun, Se-ah’s words made Yewon’s scalp tingle.
Her mind went blank, like a sheet of white paper, making it impossible to respond.
“Did you like me back then, Yewon?”
Seung-hyun turned to meet Yewon’s eyes.
Terrified he might accuse her of breaching their contract and push for divorce, her heart sank.
Meanwhile, Se-ah’s eyes widened with intrigue.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t know? I think Seung-hyun might have been Yewon’s first love.”
“…”
“Wow, they say first loves never work out, but look at you two! Yewon, I’m so jealous.”
Was she saying this because she was drunk? Or was she pretending to be?
Perhaps she had vaguely sensed that Seung-hyun and Yewon weren’t an ordinary couple.
That would explain why she casually dropped such awkward comments as if they were congratulatory remarks.
Of course, it was possible she genuinely believed they were a loving couple—but…
The Se-ah Yewon knew wasn’t the type to sincerely celebrate someone else’s happiness.
No matter how close they were, she always needed to feel superior to others.
“But were the two of you close enough to talk about things like that?”
Seung-hyun looked between Yewon and Se-ah, puzzled.
Even he found it strange.
For a brief moment, Se-ah couldn’t hide her panic.
“Hey, Cha Seung-hyun. We were pretty close, you know?”
But soon, she found a way out.
Seung-hyun, arms crossed, tilted his head slightly.
“I’ve never heard Yewon mention anything like that.”
“Really? Yewon, after all I did for you! I’m disappointed.”
As if she hadn’t tormented Yewon to the point where she wanted to become invisible!
Yewon couldn’t help but laugh at Se-ah’s blatant hypocrisy.
“It looks like you’re sober now. Can you go home by yourself?”
“Are you telling me to drive under the influence?”
Taken aback, Se-ah’s eyes widened.
“You can call a designated driver. We rushed here after receiving your call during our date.”
Today, every word Seung-hyun spoke felt as warm as a spring breeze.
Seeing this new side of him made her feel as though they were truly dating.
“Haa.”
“That sigh means you agree, right?”
Se-ah grabbed Seung-hyun’s arm and shook it, making sure Yewon noticed.
They were so close that Se-ah’s ample chest brushed against his arm.
“It’s my birthday, after all. You didn’t even have dinner with me, so at least do this for me, okay?”
Yewon’s gaze sharpened.
Something surged within her, a mix of frustration and disbelief.
‘Is she really this shameless?’
All Yewon wanted was for Seung-hyun to reject her outright.
“Alright, let go.”
But her hopes were dashed instantly.
“Yes!”
“Yewon, sorry about this.”
Se-ah, wearing high heels, began hopping up and down on the spot like an excited child.
Beside her, Seung-hyun let out an exasperated “Tsk,” mouthing an apology to Yewon.
“It’s fine.”
Before Yewon even finished speaking, her eyes darted toward Se-ah’s high heels.
‘Didn’t she say she was so drunk she collapsed earlier?’
No matter how good someone’s balance was, there was no way they could hop around in high heels after drinking heavily.
Especially not after consuming as much alcohol as she claimed.
‘Could it be…? No, surely not.’
Even so, would she really flirt with a married man?
Yewon tried to convince herself it wasn’t what it seemed, but doubts lingered.
“Ah, I’m dizzy. The alcohol is making me feel like I might fall over. Let me hold onto you, okay?”
With a pitiful expression, Se-ah leaned heavily against Seung-hyun’s arm.
After bouncing around moments ago, now she was pretending to be unsteady, clinging to him.
Watching this display, Yewon couldn’t help but look utterly incredulous.
“Why don’t you just walk properly?”
Annoyed, Seung-hyun pushed her away gently, but she clung back to him immediately.
“I feel like I’m going to fall. Shouldn’t a friend help another when they’re drunk? Don’t be so heartless.”
“Sorry, but I don’t have much compassion. Let’s just go.”
“You’ve really changed since getting married, haven’t you? Yewon, how do you keep him like this? Ease up a bit, alright?”
As Se-ah shot a glare at Yewon, Seung-hyun waved dismissively in front of her face.
“Are you too drunk to think straight? Even if we’re friends, I can’t tolerate you talking to Yewon like that.”
Seung-hyun’s low, firm tone startled Se-ah.
“Let’s not create unnecessary tension between friends. It’s late—let’s get going.”
The atmosphere turned icy, leaving Se-ah unable to offer any excuses.
As Seung-hyun and Yewon walked ahead, the sound of Se-ah’s heels clicking echoed behind them.
---
The three got into Seung-hyun’s car.
Yewon sat in the passenger seat while Se-ah climbed into the back.
“Are we heading to your place?”
“Yeah.”
After exchanging a few brief words with Se-ah, Seung-hyun started the engine and drove off.
Yewon turned her head toward the window, furrowing her brows.
‘So Seung-hyun knows where Se-ah lives.’
She had assumed their banter at the bar meant they were just close friends.
Still, knowing he was familiar with Se-ah’s address left a bitter taste in her mouth.
‘Of all times, why did she call then?’
Yewon gently chewed the soft flesh inside her cheek.
It was possible coworkers occasionally dropped each other off, but the thought of Se-ah being involved in such a scenario irritated her regardless.
How could she feel comfortable around someone who had manipulated and belittled her in the past?
Just being in the same car with Se-ah made her uneasy, and she wished they’d arrive at her house soon.
“Seung-hyun.”
“Hmm?”
“Sorry, but could you stop by the convenience store so I can buy something for my hangover?”
Seung-hyun glanced at Se-ah through the rearview mirror.
“We’ll be at your place soon. Just hold on.”
“Then can I throw up here? Ugh, I feel nauseous.”
“Haa.”
With a sigh, Seung-hyun steered the car toward the convenience store.
“Wait here.”
He got out and strode briskly toward the store.
Left alone in the car, Yewon and Se-ah sat in an oppressive silence, as if all the air had been sucked out.
“Yewon, it’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”
“Yes, Senior. Have you been well?”
Yewon repeated the greeting they had exchanged earlier.
Now that Seung-hyun wasn’t around, she suspected Se-ah’s words might reveal her true feelings.
“I’ve been fine. What about you?”
“I’ve been doing well.”
“How’s married life with your first love?”
Se-ah brought up the topic again.
Before answering, Yewon turned to meet Se-ah’s gaze from the backseat.
Though her conscience pricked her, she decided to put on a convincing act of happiness.
If only to ensure Se-ah wouldn’t entertain any lingering feelings…
“It’s good. Seung-hyun takes really good care of me.”
“Pfft. ‘Seung-hyun’? That sounds so awkward coming from you.”
“To you, maybe. Either way, I’m glad I didn’t confess to him back in college like you told me to.”
“…What?”
Se-ah frowned, unsure if she had heard correctly.
“If we had dated and broken up back then, I doubt we’d have ended up married.”
Yewon added with a faint smile, “It’s all thanks to you, Senior.”
Se-ah looked as if she’d been slapped.
Somehow, ruining Se-ah’s mood like this made Yewon feel a strange sense of satisfaction.
“I’m glad I could help. I should thank you too.”
“For what?”
“Thanks to you, I’m seeing Seung-hyun again.”
“Huh?”
“If you didn’t get it, then never mind. Trust me, hearing more would only upset you.”
With that, Se-ah crossed her arms, muttered softly, and closed her eyes as if signaling the end of the conversation.
‘What did she mean by that?’
That final remark flipped the situation entirely.
Now, it was Yewon who felt confused.
---
After dropping Se-ah off at her house, it was well past ten o’clock in the evening.
Seung-hyun’s car smoothly re-entered the road.
─’Thanks to you, I’m seeing Seung-hyun again.’
Se-ah’s words kept replaying in Yewon’s ears.
Even though she was now married to Seung-hyun, the fact that she had to constantly be mindful of Se-ah irritated her.
At that moment, the car came to a gentle stop at a red light.
“What do people usually do on dates?”
Seung-hyun turned his head to look at Yewon.
Though she knew he was watching her, Yewon stubbornly kept her gaze fixed ahead.
“Eating something delicious, watching a movie, or visiting an exhibition—those are typical date activities.”
She hadn’t been on many dates herself, but she racked her brain to come up with a few plausible examples.
“What do you want to do?”
“Hmm…”
There were plenty of things she wanted to do, but right now, she didn’t feel like saying anything.
Come to think of it, Se-ah had even mentioned earlier that Yewon’s first love was Seung-hyun.
‘Should I deny it?’
The endless spiral of thoughts gave her a headache.
“It’s late, so maybe we should just head home…”
“I’ll decide for us.”
Knowing it would ultimately be Seung-hyun’s decision anyway, Yewon clamped her mouth shut and turned her head toward the window.
Outside, gray buildings adorned with colorful lights blurred past like falling dominoes.
What had started as an exciting date after receiving Seung-hyun’s message earlier had been completely ruined by Se-ah. It felt so frustratingly pointless.
‘She clearly heard about the first love thing… Why hasn’t he said anything?’
This added yet another layer of unnecessary worry.
Unbeknownst to Seung-hyun, Yewon let out a deep sigh and rested her head against the car window.
---
“Let’s get out.”
“Where are we?”
“You’ll see when we go in.”
Seung-hyun parked in front of a three-story building.
Its rough exterior seemed far from romantic or suitable for a date.
Yewon followed him, her heels clicking against the pavement.
They entered through the doorway and descended the stairs leading to the basement, Yewon glancing around curiously.
‘Where are we?’
Then, her eyes landed on the acrylic sign displaying the store’s name.
‘An art supply shop?’
She read it over and over, unable to believe it.
As they reached the entrance, the sight of the interior left her speechless.
“Aren’t you coming in?”
“Ah, yes.”
Still stunned, Yewon moved mechanically, like a malfunctioning robot.
As soon as she stepped inside, the nostalgic smell of paint filled her nostrils.
Various sizes of canvases, easels, and art supplies caught her eye.
‘What do I do?’
Despite vowing never to return to painting, her heart swelled with emotion.
This high-end art supply store was somewhere she’d visited only once before, avoiding it ever since due to its expensive prices.
Even holding just a few tubes of paint here could cost a fortune—this was her first time back since fleeing in shock years ago.
“I noticed you’ve been overthinking lately.”
“Ah, really… Did it show?”
She didn’t think she’d given any outward signs…
---
Yewon suddenly felt awkward.
“It might also be good for prenatal care later, so starting early isn’t a bad idea.”
Yewon bit her lip.
When she had followed Seung-hyun into the art supply shop, she had felt genuinely cared for.
But hearing the word “prenatal care” deflated her instantly.
She had believed this gesture was solely for her sake, related to her passion for art.
To learn it was also tied to preparing for their future child stung.
Thankfully, he had clarified his intentions before she could feel fully moved.
“Starting again after so long might feel overwhelming. Your skills might not be as sharp as they used to be.”
“…”
Yewon walked silently, listening to his words.
Regardless of the reason, seeing these art supplies again after such a long time felt oddly comforting.
“It’s only natural to feel that way. But if you don’t start, you won’t accomplish anything.”
“…”
“If you truly hate it, tell me now. Maybe I misunderstood.”
“Seung-hyun.”
“But if that’s not the case, let me push you to start. It’s the right path for you.”
In this moment, his words sounded like genuine encouragement. With heartfelt sincerity, Yewon spoke.
“Thank you.”
“This is a gift to celebrate your new beginning, so take your time choosing.”
Riding the emotional waves stirred by Seung-hyun’s words, Yewon felt herself swaying like a ship on the ocean.
Yewon, clutching the hem of her sleeve tightly, hesitantly opened her lips.
“Why are you being so kind to me?”
“Who says I’m not?”
“Yes, but… you didn’t have to go out of your way to do something like this…”
At Seung-hyun’s puzzled reply, Yewon trailed off.
It seemed he had done it without any particular intention.
Realizing she might have been too emotional, Yewon tried to wrap up the conversation by thanking him anyway.
But then, Seung-hyun slowly fixed his gaze on her.
“Because I like you.”
Thump.
Yewon’s heart sank.
She couldn’t believe what she’d just heard and froze with her mouth slightly open.
“It’s like dragging emotions I’ve been trying to ignore to the surface. Stirring up feelings makes people honest, I guess.”
“…Ah.”
Yewon let out a soft sigh as she belatedly understood the meaning behind his words.
What he liked wasn’t her—it was her paintings.
It was so obvious, yet the fact that she had mistakenly thought it was about her made her cheeks burn with embarrassment.
Yewon bowed her head deeply, trying to hide her flushed face.
“When I first saw your paintings, it felt like finding a part of myself I’d forgotten.”
“…”
“That’s why I like them.”
Once again, Seung-hyun’s words left out the subject, and Yewon’s fragile heart raced.
“I’m already happy just knowing you’ve decided to start again.”
Though he had clarified multiple times that his confession wasn’t directed at her, her fluttering heart refused to settle.
His deep gaze, sharp nose, and full, red lips—all of it overwhelmed her senses.
In that moment, Yewon was transported back to the day she first fell for him.
The vivid memory of that spring day, when cherry blossoms fluttered through the air, came rushing back.
---
After finishing his shower, Seung-hyun wiped the foggy mirror with his hand.
Staring at his reflection, he exhaled a long sigh.
─”Could it be you didn’t know? I think Seung-hyun might have been Yewon’s first love.”
─”Wow, they say first loves never work out. Yewon, I envy you.”
These were Se-ah’s words from earlier at the bar.
At first, he hadn’t given them much thought, assuming she didn’t know what she was talking about.
But he kept replaying those words in his mind.
‘If that’s true…’
Surprisingly, the idea didn’t bother him as much as he expected.
Moreover, the image of Yewon happily selecting art supplies at the store kept flashing before his eyes.
Her rare smiles and cheerful demeanor felt refreshingly new.
To put it bluntly…
…she was cute and beautiful.
“Hmm.”
It was strange—he had never felt this way about anyone before.
Seung-hyun rubbed his furrowed brow with his index finger.
This was such an odd sensation.
“How childish.”
He dismissed the feeling as trivial, blaming it on all the recent talk of dates and other embarrassing notions.
Exhaling deeply, Seung-hyun dried his wet hair with a towel.
As he closed his eyes briefly…
‘…!’
The vivid memory of Yewon beneath him, moaning with an indecent expression, filled his vision.
Seung-hyun’s eyes snapped open, and his hands froze mid-motion.
He hadn’t expected the raw, carnal image of her to be so intensely erotic.
If he had known it would haunt him like this, he would have blocked out every ray of light entering that hotel room.
His attempt to make her flustered under bright lights had instead ensnared him.
“Haa, this is maddening.”
The shockingly sensual scene was etched into his mind, refusing to fade.
Seung-hyun shook his head while gripping the sink with both hands.
He didn’t understand why he was acting this way lately…
“And now, why again?”
Just thinking about Yewon caused another surge of arousal, as if his body was about to burst.
Aroused beast.
That description fit perfectly.
---
Meanwhile, Yewon was waiting for Seung-hyun in the bathroom next to the bedroom after her shower.
This would be the first time in two years that they’d lie down together in bed before sleeping.
He had always entered the room after she fell asleep and left before she woke up.
Perhaps that’s why…
Even more than the night they had sex, this moment made her heart race and tingle with anticipation.
“Hoo.”
Though it was just for sleeping, Yewon was meticulous about choosing her pajamas and underwear.
If Seung-hyun wanted anything, she knew she wouldn’t refuse him—so she couldn’t help but pay attention to every detail.
He might mischievously turn on the lights again like last time.
Though meeting Se-ah had stirred various thoughts, Yewon decided not to dwell on them.
‘Even if they’re secretly seeing each other behind my back, there’s nothing I can do about it.’
She resolved to focus only on Seung-hyun and herself.
Sitting on the bed, waiting for him to finish his shower, Yewon fidgeted nervously with the front of her pajamas.
Click.
Soon, Seung-hyun entered the bedroom.
“You’re… here?”
Just looking at Seung-hyun in his comfortable clothes made Yewon so nervous that she stuttered.
“Why are you waiting instead of sleeping?”
“I just finished washing up too.”
“I see.”
He answered and got into bed.
Even though it wasn’t their first time lying in bed together, today felt distinctly different.
Yewon, who had been sitting upright, glanced at Seung-hyun.
“Thank you for today. I kept hesitating... I think I can start painting again thanks to you, Seung-hyun-ssi.”
“Finding something you love in life isn’t easy, and ignoring it is unfair to yourself.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
She had felt this when she worked as his secretary, but Seung-hyun had so much to teach her.
He felt much older than her, and he always enlightened Yewon.
“I’ll turn the empty room on the second floor into a studio for you, so use it.”
“You’re making all my dreams come true, Seung-hyun-ssi. Thank you.”
“Dreams, huh? You have a sentimental side too.”
Seung-hyun chuckled and picked up the bedroom light remote.
“I’ll turn off the lights then.”
“Okay.”
She had thought they might do something special tonight, but it seemed it was just her imagination.
When Seung-hyun pressed the remote button, all the lights went out except for the small lamp by the bed.
With the window blinds completely closed, it felt like they were the only two people in the world.
“Good night.”
“You too.”
Yewon felt awkward, as if she was lying in bed with Seung-hyun for the first time, and turned her back to him.
She closed her eyes, but she couldn’t fall asleep at all, and just spent meaningless time.
While she was doing so, Seung-hyun, who had approached her from behind, making rustling sounds, hugged her from behind.
‘......!’
Her breath caught in her throat.
His arm, which had been around her waist, slowly moved up.
Even if she was clueless, she could tell what Seung-hyun wanted.
Hesitating, wondering how to react, Yewon changed the position of her arm so he could move comfortably.
Then, Seung-hyun’s lips touched her neck with a soft popping sound.
Soon, his hand slipped into Yewon’s pajamas.
“Heut.”
Since she wasn’t wearing underwear, Yewon’s soft flesh was immediately captured by Seung-hyun’s hand.
He squeezed Yewon’s breast tightly, then twisted and flicked her instantly hardened nipple as if pinching it.
She thought it would just be a brief moment, but his hand became bolder.
“Hnn.”
“Haa.”
When Yewon couldn’t hold back her moans, Seung-hyun, who was behind her, pressed his body against hers without any gap.
His hardened shaft, which she didn’t know when it had become so hard, touched her tightly pressed lower body.
“Heut.”
He lifted one of Yewon’s legs and pushed his hard thigh between her legs. Then, Seung-hyun’s hardened cock pressed down on Yewon’s sensitive clit.
Perhaps because she was wearing thin clothes, it didn’t feel much different from when she was naked.
His presence was threatening, as if it would break through the fabric.
“Seung-hyun-ssi...”
“Should I stop?”
When she called his name in bewilderment, that was the answer she received.
Yewon shook her head instead of answering, and Seung-hyun moved his hand, which had stopped.
The destination was Yewon’s already soaked lower area.
“Look at me.”
Seung-hyun turned Yewon’s head and kissed her.
From the beginning, he deeply inserted and rolled his tongue, wrapping and stimulating Yewon with sucking sensations.
“Hnn.”
Seung-hyun gently rubbed Yewon’s vulva in circles with his fingers.
As it became wetter with fluids, Seung-hyun’s movements became smoother.
Seung-hyun’s hand movements, which gently rubbed and then stimulated the plump area with a gentle press, seemed quite skilled.
“Heut.”
Yewon spread her legs so that his hand could move more comfortably, without any embarrassment.
Then, Seung-hyun delved deeper into Yewon’s inside.
As he repeatedly pushed deeper and went in and out, lewd squeaking noises echoed.
Her entrance was so messy with fluids that she wondered if she would soak the bed sheets.
“Seung-hyun... Seung-hyun-ssi.”
She was embarrassed to show this side of herself every time he touched her, as if she had been waiting for it.
But even if she didn’t want to, it wasn’t something Yewon could control.
“Spread them a little more.”
Contrary to her embarrassment, Yewon followed Seung-hyun’s instructions.
When she took the position he wanted, she felt something different again.
The depth of penetration itself was different.
As she received the stimulation he shook her with without avoiding it at all, her body gradually tensed.
“Eut!”
She climaxed with just one of Seung-hyun’s fingers.
Yewon, who had stopped breathing and stood still, trembled at the climax.
A large amount of something gushed out from below, as if she had made a mistake.
“Haa, haa.”
As Yewon, who had lost her strength, caught her breath, Seung-hyun raised his body.
“I haven’t even started properly yet, what do you mean by climaxing alone?”
Seung-hyun whispered softly to Yewon and placed his hands behind her knees.
His gaze was fixed on Yewon’s wet lower area.
Her entrance twitched at the excitement of him looking at her vulva.
‘Embarrassing.’
Even though she knew it wouldn’t be clearly visible in the dark bedroom, her knees kept trying to close.
“I said spread them.”
But Seung-hyun, as Yewon did so, used his hands to spread her legs wide apart.
Yewon, who had already experienced so much pleasure, had no strength to refuse and could only follow Seung-hyun’s lead.
“Hnn!”
Seung-hyun thrust directly into Yewon’s core.
Perhaps because she had already experienced a climax, Yewon, who was now even more sensitive, trembled at his every small movement.
It felt like her entire body had turned into an erogenous zone.
“Haa, you’re so... tight.”
It seemed she had unintentionally clenched her vagina around Seung-hyun’s cock.
He was just as excited as she was, and she even had the illusion that his cock was glued to her vagina.
“Hnn, it’s good.”
The words flowed out of her on their own.
If it kept getting better like this every time, what would she do in the future?
Lost in pleasure, Yewon spread her legs wider.
Then, she gripped Seung-hyun’s buttocks with both hands and pulled him towards her.
Without any shame, she wanted him to thrust even deeper.
She couldn’t believe she was acting like this on her own, without having learned it anywhere.
“Ah, I’m going crazy.”
“Thrust a little deeper. It’s too... good.”
Seung-hyun, with slightly open eyes and furrowed brows, was shaking his body.
She couldn’t believe they were doing such lewd things on the bed every time.
Yewon took this opportunity to deliberately shower him with her feelings of pleasure.
At least for now, it wouldn’t be strange no matter how openly she expressed her pleasure.
“Me too... ha, it’s good.”
“Heut!”
Yewon’s body heaved as Seung-hyun thrust himself fully inside her in one go.
His deep penetration was intense, but his “it’s good” reply made her body tremble even more.
Yewon hugged Seung-hyun’s back tightly and moaned through her lips.
Seung-hyun’s excitement also reached its peak, and he even bit Yewon’s neck.
Her vision turned white with pleasure multiple times.
With a level of excitement that was distinctly different from usual, Yewon kept clinging to Seung-hyun.
“Heut.”
It was difficult to regain her senses because of Seung-hyun, who was arching his back and digging into her inner walls.
Now, her insides were even trembling as if convulsing.
All these bodily changes were bewildering.
“Lie on your stomach.”
Having no strength left to answer, Yewon moved her body as Seung-hyun wanted.
“Aah!”
Immediately, Seung-hyun thrust his intimidatingly large cock deep into Yewon.
As soon as he reached the very end of her vagina, Yewon’s body shuddered.
As a result, she let out a moan that was incomparable to any before.
“Haa.”
“Hnn, what do I do?”
Changing positions also changed the depth of penetration.
The sensations were also different accordingly.
As Seung-hyun shook his body violently, Yewon’s body kept trying to fall forward.
But she didn’t want to miss any of the pleasure she was feeling now, so she braced herself by gripping the bed with both hands.
“Ah, I think I’m going to climax.”
Yewon let those words slip out without realizing it.
Immediately, Seung-hyun reached out and cupped Yewon’s breasts in his hands.
Then, he put her erect nipples between his fingers and rubbed them, stimulating her.
He kneaded her breasts forcefully, as if he was going to burst them.
It was a teasing movement, but... Yewon felt like her head was spinning with pleasure.
It seemed she liked everything about this intimate act with Seung-hyun.
“Please.”
“Ha, I think I’m going to come too.”
It was a somewhat explicit expression, but she was pleased that Seung-hyun was excited because of her.
Soon, they both embraced each other tightly and reached their climax.
“Haa, haa.”
Yewon collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.
She felt like she had poured all her energy into one act of sex.
However,
“......!”
Seung-hyun, who was kissing between her butt cheeks, seemed to have other plans.
As soon as his lips gently touched and left her butt cheeks, Yewon’s buttocks twitched.
“I didn’t say I’d stop after one time.”
That night, he held Yewon many times.
Yewon was exhausted by Seung-hyun, who filled her inside like the first time, making her think it was the end.
Each time they started again, Yewon thought she had no strength left to feel anything, but she felt intense ecstasy again, just like the first time.
Her head was thrown into the bed, and her body staggered.
Though somewhat humiliating scenes were produced, the sex was nothing but sweet.
‘I like it too much.’
After experiencing multiple climaxes, Yewon realized something.
Even if Seung-hyun and Se-ah had a special relationship, not just a friendship...
She wouldn’t be able to give him up.
