Psst! We're moving!
Min-ah told her that Tae-min had gone back to America.
She wondered why he had bothered to get a job at a large corporation only to return to the States, but Na-yeon didn’t reply. She didn’t want to bring up such reasons with someone she had broken up with. They were truly nothing to each other now.
The pharmacy, with early summer fast approaching, was as busy as ever. Only when it was almost closing time did Na-yeon finally take a breath and pull out her phone. She had received a message from Mi-joo telling her to come by the motel to pick up the things she had left behind. She sent a text saying she would stop by right after work.
She was supposed to have dinner with Yeon-seok in the evening, so she planned to go there beforehand.
A sedan arrived in front of the pharmacy at closing time. Yeon-seok’s subordinate always took care of her commute. He knew that if she got even a scratch during her commute, the driver of the sedan would be held fully responsible.
Na-yeon got in the car and asked to be taken to the motel where she used to live. The car entered an alley so familiar that she could find it with her eyes closed.
The motel had changed owners and been renovated; the entrance looked a bit different. She went inside the newly signposted motel. Knock, knock, she knocked on Mi-joo’s door. As if she had been waiting, Mi-joo flung open the door of a room that smelled pleasantly of coffee.
“Yah! It’s been so long.”
“Unnie. Oh, Eun-joo unnie and Hee-jung unnie are here too.”
Guests who had been staying long-term at the motel since Na-yeon’s time were in Mi-joo’s room, still long-term residents.
“We were waiting for you, you.”
“It’s been ages.”
Na-yeon threw the nutritional supplements and gift snacks she had bought in bulk onto the floor and ran towards her older friends.
Even when she was in school, she used to chat with the female guests until late at night. Eun-joo made a fuss, saying it reminded her of those times.
“This is why they talk about education. You’ve become so cool since you became a pharmacist.”
“I heard you’re seeing someone. Who is it?”
“Wow. You had such a hard time, but our Na-yeon is finally dating. What does he do? Is he handsome?”
Mi-joo scolded them to keep it down, but she had a sly look on her face.
“Our Na-yeon is surprisingly something, isn’t she?”
“What?”
“Her moans were so sexy. I ended up doing it again because of you back then.”
She seemed to be referring to the time she had sex with Yeon-seok at the motel. When Na-yeon’s face turned bright red, the hyenas who had been looking for prey pounced, asking what had happened.
She shouldn’t have done it back then. Na-yeon bowed her head in embarrassment, and Mi-joo openly cackled. She said something carefree about how her cute actions must be why that person loved her.
Na-yeon left the motel after sharing the gift snacks she had brought and having a simple can of beer.
The man who had been waiting in front of the door opened the car door.
Mi-joo, who had come out to see her off, waved for her to go quickly. Na-yeon hugged Mi-joo, who was waving goodbye, tightly and then turned around.
“So, you had lunch together?”
“Yes. Turns out, he’s the landlord of our pharmacy building! He often comes to the pharmacy with his wife to get medicine, and I didn’t even know. I had lunch with the pharmacists from our pharmacy today, and he seemed like a nice person.”
Na-yeon, who had moistened her throat with a sip of wine Yeon-seok offered, pushed a large piece of cut steak into her mouth. As she chewed and made eye contact with Yeon-seok, he smiled quietly.
“What?”
“Nothing. Eat.”
Na-yeon put down her knife and drank her wine again. The reason they had come to the hotel restaurant today was because Yeon-seok wanted them to stay overnight at the hotel. Come to think of it, she had never slept with him at a hotel before. Should she ask him for a glass of champagne before they went to sleep? Or maybe they could take a bubble bath together.
“You seem excited today?”
“Ah, it’s my first time sleeping at a hotel.”
“Tell me if there’s anything you want to do. I’ll have them prepare it.”
She had forgotten that this hotel was also built by Jaemun Construction.
“The hotel is really nice.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“...Yes. I think you have a good eye.”
She ate her steak with a lighthearted smile. His laughter scattered like the wind, following hers. It was a pleasant dinner.
Na-yeon entered the room and looked around at the luxurious interior. She was so engrossed in the view of the beautiful nightscape that she didn’t even notice him approaching from behind. Na-yeon left Yeon-seok and went to the bathroom. The bathroom, as spacious as his house, was magnificent. She should probably suggest taking a shower first.
“Yeon-seok-ssi, let’s shower...”
She turned around abruptly and bumped into his chest. Even while she was distracted by the room, his eyes had been on her.
“Isn’t there something you want to do before showering?”
She looked up at him intently. Something she wanted to do? She understood the meaning in his words from the way his fingertips subtly brushed against her lower lip. She buried the faint blush on her cheeks into his chest.
Na-yeon, who had been quietly hugging Yeon-seok’s chest, went to the bed, took off her pants and panties, and climbed onto the sheets. Then she glanced back at him and slowly lowered her upper body, raising her buttocks. As he always wanted, she spread her legs and positioned herself to better reveal her opening.
Embarrassed, she buried her face in the sheets, but she said what she wanted.
“...Put your tongue down there.”
She heard the sound of his shoes approaching. She swallowed hard due to nervousness. He came closer and kissed her there, then scattered small kisses on Na-yeon’s buttocks.
“Na-yeon-ah.”
He wrapped his arms around Na-yeon’s waist and lowered her raised buttocks. Then he sat her up to face him.
With flushed cheeks, she met his eyes.
“Yes?”
“It’s your birthday soon, isn’t it.”
Birthday? Na-yeon’s eyes widened at the unexpected word that came from his lips. Birthday. That’s right. Her birthday was before summer came. She had never really paid attention to it, so the word birthday felt unfamiliar. Today was the 18th, so it was tomorrow. She had forgotten.
“Isn’t there anything you want? Do you like this hotel?”
“Yes? Yes?”
He looked ready to give her anything she wanted right away. Of course, he wasn’t the type to involve personal feelings in business matters, but looking at him now, he had the eyes to do so. Even if it wasn’t that, Na-yeon was someone who paved her own way, just as she had always been. He would surely know that.
Na-yeon hugged his neck and nestled into his broad, firm embrace.
“There is something I want.”
“Tell me.”
Na-yeon, who had been casually unbuttoning his shirt, placed her hand surreptitiously over the front of his pants.
“I want to hear your true feelings, Director.”
She felt something thick and large. It was what always gave her the greatest ecstasy.
“So...”
And she raised her hand to his chest. His heart was beating. It was an embrace he had always opened to her without reservation.
“I gave you everything because I love you. I gave you everything of mine that you like, didn’t I? Isn’t that right?”
He smiled, instantly noticing Na-yeon’s desire to hear him say he loved her.
“I gave you my embrace, my cock that you can’t live without sucking and licking, because I love you.”
“Yeon-seok-ssi.”
She kissed his lips, which had just spoken of love.
“What, you want to do something kinky?”
Na-yeon nodded, a smile she couldn’t hide spreading across her face. She unbuckled his pants and lowered his drawers.
“Before that.”
He took his erect, throbbing cock and, instead, slipped a sparkling ring onto her left ring finger. His rough breath spilled onto her collarbone. A man putting a ring on her in such a lewd state. She had already received all her birthday gifts with his words of love.
Tears welled up at the unexpected birthday celebration, and she cupped his cheeks.
Ah, she loved him so much.
But Na-yeon’s heart was so full that she couldn’t say anything more.
“This is an antibiotic, and it’s quite strong, so if you take it before meals, it might upset your stomach, and you could feel dizzy. So please make sure to eat and take it 30 minutes afterwards.”
Na-yeon pressed the medicine packet firmly into the wrinkled hand of the elderly woman. The woman, who said she understood because the pharmacist had explained it kindly, left the pharmacy.
Na-yeon stopped organizing prescriptions and looked at the ring on her finger.
“Did your boyfriend give you that as a birthday gift?”
The pharmacy manager approached with a bright smile.
“Ah, yes.”
“Na-yeon-ssi, happy birthday. I can’t do much, but I can let you leave work a little earlier. Go home a bit early today. It’s only 30 minutes earlier, though.”
Na-yeon thanked the pharmacy manager and immediately left the pharmacy. He had said he would come to pick her up himself at her closing time, and his car was already waiting for her. Seong-shik, who spotted Na-yeon, got out of the passenger seat and opened the back door.
Na-yeon stepped into the place where Yeon-seok was.
