SELA - 42

Ji-hyuk grabbed Sa-hee’s legs, crossed them, placed them on one of his shoulders, and raised the corners of his lips. Sa-hee, unable to decipher his intentions, gripped the blanket tightly with a growing sense of fear.

“Don’t relax your legs.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his erection slipped in and out between her thighs. Then, Ji-hyuk’s member incessantly parted and disappeared between the inner flesh of her thighs. Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, the sound of his thighs and the back of Sa-hee’s thighs colliding created a sound similar to rough insertion.

Sa-hee began to feel a strange pleasure from the feeling of his erection rubbing between her legs and Ji-hyuk’s expression as he looked down at her, pulling her towards climax.

Soon, the area between her thighs became sticky with fluid, and Ji-hyuk’s hip movements became faster. His breathing also became rougher. The movement of his clenched jaw muscles strangely tickled her stomach. Thanks to this, as she tightened her twisting legs, a small curse word escaped from him.

“Ha...” A hot, excited breath of unknown origin poured out from Sa-hee, and Ji-hyuk stared intently at her parting lips.

“Open your mouth.”

As he said, she opened her mouth slightly.

“Stick out your tongue.”

She carefully stuck out her tongue. The strength of his arms, which were holding her legs, seemed to tighten painfully, and before long, he ejaculated on Sa-hee’s body. Even while enjoying the afterglow, still moving between her legs, his semen continued to drip.

Why did she feel so drained even though he didn’t insert?

Sa-hee, flushed and heated all over, composed herself with a dry wash. She had never imagined that such an encounter was possible without insertion.

Then, Ji-hyuk suddenly lowered his body and kissed Sa-hee. It was a short kiss that intensely stirred her mouth.

“I’ve been punished, haven’t I?”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Why is it ridiculous when I couldn’t even insert?”

“Still, Director!”

“Just get up. We’re going to shower again.”

Ji-hyuk said, wiping the semen he had released on Sa-hee’s body with the robe he was wearing. Feeling her body become sticky again, Sa-hee glared but still sat up.

“You’re acting cute.”

Ji-hyuk suddenly picked up the standing Sa-hee and headed straight for the bathroom. Sa-hee opened her mouth to say something but closed it again. It seemed pointless to say anything.

“Do I get punished if we do it in the bathroom?”

“Director!”

Ji-hyuk chuckled at Sa-hee’s reaction.

Leaving the closing bathroom door behind, the two of them entered the shower booth side by side.

It’s another dream. The day of the building collapse.

Bodies are being carried out of the collapsed building, and the stretchers are covered with white cloths. Ji-hyuk tries to run and pull the cloths off frantically. People stop him. Someone grabs his hand and pulls him down. They tell him it’s dangerous, he shouldn’t do that.

Ji-hyuk can’t do anything. He just cries. He cries and cries, he wails.

Ji-hyuk wakes up with a gasp. It was that dream again today. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

Ji-hyuk sighed, wiping his face dry and running his fingers through his hair. Until when, how long would he have to have this dream? No, even if he kept having it, he wished he knew the meaning. Then he could at least endure it.

Turning on his side, Ji-hyuk realized the other side of the bed was empty. When he turned on the bedside lamp, sure enough, Sa-hee wasn’t there. Ji-hyuk immediately got up and left the bedroom.

Sa-hee was there. In front of the large window in the living room, gazing at the night view, saying nothing, only her back visible.

Ji-hyuk, who had been watching her back for a moment, met Sa-hee’s eyes as she suddenly turned around.

“Why did you come out without sleeping?”

Her smiling face as she said that seemed to be playing in slow motion. It felt like he had seen this scene somewhere before. Was this also déjà vu? If so, when? In which dream?

“I woke up thirsty, but the night view was so beautiful.”

Ji-hyuk hugged Sa-hee, who was smiling and approaching him. Her hair, as he kissed it, was fragrant and soft.

“Let’s go back in, enough.”

“Yes, let’s go in.”

The two of them, who had been hugging quietly for a moment, entered the bedroom. Only the night view and silence of dawn remained in the living room.

Ordinary days passed. Days of eating, sleeping, showering, and making love together.

As a result, they naturally became closer and spoke more casually.

“How was the performance?”

“Not bad.”

“Is that all?”

“How was it for you?”

“It was good. Actually, I saw the same stage two years ago, and I didn’t think much of it then. But seeing it again, I understand it a bit now. I must have changed in the past two years.”

“Self-reflection, too. The ticket price wasn’t wasted. Come here.”

On the way out after the opera performance, Ji-hyuk pulled Sa-hee into his arms in the crowded place. It was because she almost collided with a group of male students who were pushing through.

“Oops, wait a minute.”

But in the end, while avoiding them, Sa-hee bumped into another audience member. With so many people coming out, it was inevitable.

As Sa-hee tried to pick up the pamphlet she had dropped, her hand touched someone else’s.

“Oh? Teacher?”

“Who?”

“It’s me, Lee Seo-won!”

“Seo-won? Little Seo-won?”

“Little? I’ve grown up so much.”

“Really, wow, you’ve grown a lot.”

Sa-hee was surprised by the young man standing in front of her. He was wearing sportswear and carrying a sports bag, and he was taller than her by a head, radiating fresh and healthy energy. He was completely different from the past, when he was shorter than his peers and had a somewhat dark side.

“Haha, my outfit is a bit much, right? I came straight from exercising with my friends. I got a free ticket, but it was too good to waste.”

“Good job. The performance was good, it’ll be helpful to see it.”

“Right? I did well, didn’t I?”

The two of them, standing among the crowd leaving, smiled at each other. It was so nice to meet an old acquaintance like this.

“Who?”

Then, Ji-hyuk, who was standing behind, asked, wrapping his arm around Sa-hee’s shoulder.

“Oh, introduce yourself. He’s Lee Seo-won, a student I used to tutor. Seo-won, say hello. My... boyfriend.”

“Boyfriend?”

Ji-hyuk and Seo-won stared at each other intently, then spoke almost simultaneously.

“Let’s go.”

“Teacher.”

Sa-hee, flustered, replied.

“Yes? Oh, why?”

“Give me your number.”

Seo-won held out his phone.

“Hey, Lee Seo-won! Why aren’t you coming?”

Just then, Seo-won’s friends from the other side urged him. He seemed to have more urgent business here than with them.

“Wait a minute, I have something important to do!”

When Sa-hee glanced back, Ji-hyuk had a calm face. Yes, a cold, indifferent face. Sa-hee thought for a moment and decided to quickly give him her number and send him on his way. She took the phone, typed in her number, and handed it back. Seo-won’s face brightened more than the sun.

“I’ll contact you. You have to answer. I’m going!”

“Be careful!”

Seo-won kept waving as he dangerously backed away in the crowded place. Sa-hee smiled as if she couldn’t help it and waved back.

“You seem to be quite close.”

Then, she turned her head at the low voice from behind. The two of them started walking again, leaving the performance hall.

“Seo-won? Yes. I tutored him for almost two years. He wasn’t even as tall as me then. Kids grow up so fast, don’t they?”

Sa-hee shook her head and smiled. Ji-hyuk, who was watching her, reached out and caressed Sa-hee’s cheek.

“I’m bearing with it because I like your smiling face.”

Sa-hee, accepting his gaze and touch, opened her mouth.

“Director, are you perhaps jealous?”

“...”

“Really? Just because I exchanged numbers?”

Sa-hee laughed heartily. His jealousy was something she had never imagined. Then, Ji-hyuk suddenly grabbed Sa-hee’s chin and closed her mouth with a kiss that stirred her inside. Sa-hee couldn’t even close her eyes in surprise.

“Yeah. I’m jealous.”

“...”

His eyes, looking down at her, were so ominous that she couldn’t say anything. There were still many people heading home around them. People passing by Sa-hee and Ji-hyuk kept glancing at them.

Sa-hee raised both hands, grabbed Ji-hyuk’s hands, and intertwined their fingers. He quietly let her do as she pleased. The two of them walked towards the car again.

“Suddenly like that!”

“Why?”

“It’s a bit much to kiss like that.”

“What is?”

“Never mind. I shouldn’t have said anything.”

“Suit yourself.”

Ji-hyuk matched his stride as Sa-hee walked quickly, slightly sulking. But it was just walking the same as usual.

Ji-hyuk secretly raised the corners of his lips, amused by her pouting back. He, who had a smile that only he knew, held the hand he was holding even tighter.
