Psst! We're moving!
As the sun set and the afternoon waned, Hyun-soo remained in her room, lost in thought. What pulled her back to reality was the click of the door opening.
Startled by the unexpected interruption, Hyun-soo looked towards the sound, seeing Guk entering the room. He approached her, loosening his tie.
“Why are you so startled?”
“Startled? Who’s startled? No, I’m not.”
Hyun-soo gave an awkward smile, trying to brush it off. Guk, who had come right up to her, stared intently as he completely loosened his tie and pulled it off. The tie, freed from his neck, was crumpled in his hand.
For some reason, Hyun-soo couldn’t look him in the eye. Avoiding Guk’s gaze, she stood up and reached out, intending to take his bag and put it away, pretending to avoid the situation. However.
“It’s alright.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll do it.”
Guk avoided her hand, adjusted his grip on the bag, and turned away. Hyun-soo could only stare blankly at his back.
Turning around, Guk placed the bag on the table and took off his jacket, draping it over a chair. He also casually placed the tie he was holding on top.
If he leaves it like that, the clothes will get ruined. She didn’t understand why he wouldn’t let her take care of it when she could have. Was it because they weren’t used to each other yet? Or perhaps he didn’t expect her to fulfill the role of a wife at all. The thought made her feel bitter.
“You look tired lately.”
“Huh?”
“I mean, you don’t need to bother helping.”
Hearing his voice, she looked up to see Guk staring at her. As he unbuttoned his shirt, explaining, he pointed to the table when he realized she didn’t seem to understand. The bag, jacket, and tie. He seemed to be saying he didn’t want to burden her with trivial tasks since she looked tired. Only then did she feel a little relieved.
“I’m not tired. Really, I’m fine.”
“You’re fine?”
“Yeah.”
Guk, who had unbuttoned his shirt down to his chest, strode towards Hyun-soo. Then, he unexpectedly caressed her thin cheek. Her cheek, cupped in his large hand, felt soft but also somewhat pale and bloodless. It bothered Guk.
“Is something bothering you?”
“No. Nothing like that...”
“Really, nothing?”
“Yeah, really nothing.”
At Hyun-soo’s answer, Guk silently looked down at her, stroking her cheek with his thumb.
“I’ll go wash up.”
Hyun-soo blinked at his quiet, low voice. Then, she slowly nodded, finally understanding what he meant. Washing up meant they would be intimate again.
Contrary to her expectation that he would leave after announcing his intention, Guk leaned closer.
He moved his attractively plump, red lips and gave her butterfly kisses along her jawline. Just as the soft “peck, peck” sounds grew closer to her ear and his lips gently nipped her earlobe,
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Guk paused, briefly nipping her earlobe, then pulled away with a soft “pop.”
“Who is it?”
“It’s Han.”
Hearing the answer, Guk’s eyes turned sharp. Hyun-soo could sense the change.
“What do you want?”
However, despite his expression, Guk’s voice was calm. He met Hyun-soo’s eyes, brushed her hair back, and maintained a neutral face.
“I have something to discuss with your sister-in-law, not you.”
It was an unexpected answer. At those words, Guk’s hand, which had been stroking her hair, stopped. Hyun-soo’s expression tensed. Guk, aware of this, met her eyes and then stood up to open the door.
“Sister-in-law.”
“...”
“Call her sister-in-law.”
Han chuckled at Guk’s warning as soon as he opened the door.
“Alright. We should use the proper titles.”
Han smiled, his face and voice filled with amusement, and spoke again.
“Sister-in-law, can I talk to you for a moment?”
Hyun-soo, sitting in the room, felt like she was on pins and needles. She didn’t want to see him right now...
But it would be strange to refuse or avoid him at this point.
Hyun-soo adjusted her clothes and slowly moved towards the door. However, she stopped behind Guk, not stepping forward to face Han.
“What’s the matter...”
Han’s face hardened when he saw Hyun-soo hiding behind Guk instead of coming forward. He felt inwardly offended.
“This.”
Han held out his hand, staring intently at Hyun-soo.
“What is that...?”
The small object was too indistinct to make out. Eventually, Guk picked it up and showed it to Hyun-soo.
“This, this...”
What was now on Guk’s palm, from Han’s hand, was none other than an earring. One of the earrings Hyun-soo had been wearing. She belatedly touched her ear, confirming that one was indeed missing.
“Is this yours?”
“Yeah, it is.”
At her affirmative answer, Guk’s expression, which had been expressionless, turned icy.
“How did this happen? Why do you have Hyun-soo’s earring?”
“She dropped it in front of the bathroom.”
“...”
“She also broke something I treasured, didn’t she?”
Han asked with a smile, his gaze fixed solely on Hyun-soo. Guk, quick-witted and astute, had been fully aware of the strange atmosphere from the beginning. That’s why he was watching their reactions so closely.
“She didn’t even apologize and just ran off. I’m a little disappointed, sister-in-law.”
Unlike Han, who was constantly smiling, Hyun-soo was deathly pale. The voice that had called her name during his self-pleasure seemed to echo vividly in her ears again. Hyun-soo barely suppressed the urge to vomit.
“I, I’m sorry. Um... I suddenly got an urgent call, and I was distracted... I was distracted. So...”
‘Hyun-soo. Kim Hyun-soo. Hah, Hyun-soo... khut...’
The moans from the bathroom seemed to echo loudly in the silence, as if everyone could hear them, not just her. What if everyone else heard it too? She felt foolish.
“Oh, why are you so flustered? I was just kidding.”
Han lightly teased her, who was stiff and stammering. He knew she had realized his self-pleasuring, and he was being cruel. Excessively cruel.
“Are you done with your business?”
At that moment, Guk abruptly cut off the conversation. He stood in front of Hyun-soo, severing the interaction between her and Han.
“I think I’ve said everything I needed to.”
“Okay.”
As soon as Han replied, the door slammed shut. Guk had closed it.
As soon as the door closed, Guk grabbed Hyun-soo’s hand and pulled her to the vanity, seating her on it. He didn’t like seeing her eyes wavering.
He took out the remaining earring, threw it on the floor, and roughly rubbed her empty earlobe, asking through gritted teeth.
“Tell me what happened between you two.”
“…Nothing.”
“Don’t try to brush it off. I’m not a fool who doesn’t notice.”
“...”
“Kim Hyun-soo.”
Hyun-soo’s heart sank at the sound of her full name. Whenever Guk spoke to her so firmly, she became flustered.
“Really, nothing happened. Believe me.”
“Believe you?”
“Yes. Believe me.”
“Alright. I’ll believe you.”
Hyun-soo’s narrow chest rose and fell, her breath quickening from anxiety. He wouldn’t know how much his answer relieved her.
“Lift your skirt.”
“What?”
“Lift your skirt.”
“Why all of a sudden...”
“Should I do it?”
His eyes were dark and devoid of light. Hyun-soo, frightened, instinctively grabbed her dress and slowly pulled it up. As she pulled it up too slowly, Guk, impatient, pulled it up in one go, exposing her intimate area.
“Why...!”
“Lift your hips.”
“Here? Are we doing it here?”
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
Apart from their night at the villa, which happened when she was drunk, she hadn’t been intimate anywhere other than the bedroom. She didn’t want to have sex outside the bedroom while sober. However.
“You’ll do it even if you don’t like it.”
He seemed to have made up his mind.
When Hyun-soo seemed to be trying to avoid him, Guk wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her. At the same time, he pulled down her underwear. The underwear, pulled down with a swift motion, dangled from one ankle.
“Let’s go to the bed. There, or at least wash up first...”
“You’re being unusually talkative today.”
“What?”
“What do you want me to do when my dick is like this?”
Guk’s hand, which had pulled her down, touched her hot, hard flesh. It was a massive penis, barely fitting in one hand. When she looked down in surprise, she saw his erect penis pressed against his lower abdomen. She was dumbfounded, not understanding when it had gotten like this.
“You only have one job today.”
“What, what...”
“Don’t keep your mouth shut.”
“Huh?”
“Be loud.”
“Ah-hnng...!”
It was a rough and difficult entry. Hyun-soo cried out from the sudden insertion, which barely managed to push in the tip of his shaft, let alone the base.
“Hng, it hurts, ah...! Ahh!”
Unlike other times when he would melt her with foreplay before starting, this time, he was almost thrusting into her, making Hyun-soo tear up. She couldn’t understand why Guk was in such a hurry. Was it really because he was about to burst like before? Because of his excitement? But he had been excited other times too, and it wasn’t like this.
“Ah-heup, ah! Hnng! Ungh!”
The touch of his hand, circling her clit as he buried his lips in her neck and sucked, brought a small wave of pleasure. At the same time, her entrance was leaking fluids from the foreign object slowly pushing deeper. The wet sounds from their joined flesh began to grow louder with each thrust, but she couldn’t stop her spread thighs from shaking.
