47. First Night After Registering the Marriage

The hectic wedding ended, and Danjung, still without removing her bridal makeup, was led by Minhyuk’s hand towards the district office.

It was to register their marriage at the district office as soon as possible.

However, the wedding, which was held to coincide with lunchtime, took longer than expected, and the district office was scheduled to close in two hours.

“Secretary Im, how long will it take to get to the district office?”

“Yes, we are expected to arrive in 30 minutes.”

“Hurry.”

Despite having time left, Minhyuk was impatient and couldn’t stand it.

The three-month period his father had set would end tomorrow, but today was the only day they could register their marriage.

If he had known he would be this anxious, he would have moved the wedding up a day...

“We should have registered our marriage beforehand.”

Danjung looked at the anxious Minhyuk and regretted not registering their marriage in advance.

Then, Minhyuk’s pupils widened more than necessary, surprised by Danjung’s words.

“Isn’t marriage registration something you do after the wedding?”

“Most people do it that way, but you can do it beforehand too.”

Danjung looked at Minhyuk with an absurd expression.

Surely he didn’t not know that?

But seeing his dumbfounded expression, it was clear he didn’t.

She had always thought he was perfect, but Minhyuk surprisingly had some clueless sides to him.

‘Oh my goodness!’

Minhyuk felt incredibly foolish for being so worried all this time without even checking the most basic thing.

Even Yeonju had naturally assumed they would have registered beforehand, so she hadn’t asked him, which had led to this predicament.

But thankfully, he still had a precious two hours left.

“President, there seems to be an accident up ahead. It looks like we’ll be delayed by about 10 more minutes.”

Secretary Im worried as he looked at the heavily congested road, even though it wasn’t usually a blocked section.

“Hmm~.”

Hearing his words, Minhyuk looked out the window and saw the district office not far away.

It was probably a 10-minute walk, or a 5-minute run.

Of course, they still had plenty of time, but Minhyuk was so impatient that he couldn’t sit still in the car.

“Then we’ll walk. You come there.”

Having made up his mind, Minhyuk got out of the car with Danjung.

“Should we run?”

Then he took her hand and started running.

“Huff, huff, huff.”

Led by Minhyuk’s hand, Danjung, who had run, gasped for breath as she entered the district office.

She had lived her life avoiding exercise like the plague, so even a short sprint was very tiring for her.

But Minhyuk, in contrast to her, was perfectly composed except for a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

‘There’s still plenty of time left...’

Danjung unknowingly glanced at the clock on the district office wall, then at Minhyuk, looking at him with reproach for rushing her.

“Sorry, I was in a hurry.”

Minhyuk didn’t offer any further explanation, sensing Danjung’s gaze.

The reason he had run all the way to the district office was simply because he was really in a hurry.

***

“Your marriage registration is complete. Congratulations. Live happily.”

“Hoo~ Thank you.”

After registering their marriage, Minhyuk let out a sigh of relief at the district office employee’s congratulatory remarks.

It was because he no longer had to worry about his position being threatened.

He also felt relieved that he had finished the task his father had given him.

From now on, all that was left was to live happily with Danjung.

“Is it all done?”

“It seems we just need to hand over the documents to the lawyer.”

“Then can we rest a bit? I want to collapse on the bed and sleep soundly.”

As the hastily arranged wedding came to an end, Danjung felt all the tension in her body release.

And she desperately wanted to wash off her makeup, untangle her hair that felt like a spiderweb, and take a hot shower.

“Let’s go back to the hotel for now.”

Minhyuk still had things to take care of with the lawyer before leaving for their honeymoon.

But he planned to let Danjung rest fully in the hotel room.

“President, Madam. Congratulations on your marriage.”

Secretary Im, who was quite surprised to see Minhyuk get out of the car and run even though they were just around the corner from their destination, lowered his head to hide his chuckle and offered his congratulations.

He realized by watching Minhyuk that men become endlessly weak in the face of love.

“Please do me one more favor tomorrow.”

Minhyuk usually didn’t call Secretary Im on weekends unless it was a very important matter.

But since tomorrow was the day they were leaving for their honeymoon, he made a special request to Secretary Im.

“Secretary Im~ I’m sorry for making you come out from early morning on your day off...”

“It’s alright, Madam. Of course, I should see you off.”

“I’ll learn to drive quickly so I won’t bother Secretary Im as much.”

Danjung resolved to master driving perfectly, even if it was for Minhyuk’s sake.

However, it seemed right to practice without him.

***

Arriving at the hotel, Danjung sent Minhyuk off and lay down on his suite’s bed, soothing her tired body.

‘I should wash up and sleep...’

Danjung’s mind told her it would be better to quickly take a shower and rest fully, but her body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and wouldn’t move.

Danjung’s eyes closed on their own, and she reminisced about the dreamlike events of today.

Minhyuk, in a dark charcoal suit and a black bow tie, had turned the wedding hall into a runway.

Moreover, the smile he had shown in front of everyone was definitely not one of someone who couldn’t feel emotions.

Minhyuk had really smiled brightly and greeted her with a happy face.

“Ah~ I’m so happy.”

Danjung, giggling, fell asleep with a huge smile on her face, and Minhyuk, who had finished everything quickly and accurately, entered the room.

“Looks like she was tired.”

Minhyuk looked at Danjung, who had fallen asleep without even changing her clothes, and could tell how exhausted she was.

Not wanting to wake such Danjung, Minhyuk unbuttoned her blouse without her permission.

It was because he wanted to take off her uncomfortable-looking two-piece suit.

And now that they were legally married after registering their marriage, he thought he could do this much at his discretion.

But after taking off her blouse and then her skirt, his thoughts changed when he saw Danjung’s white and soft bare skin.

Minhyuk had originally planned to let Danjung sleep as she was, even if just for a while, but for hygiene reasons, he felt he should at least wash her before letting her sleep.

But this was just an excuse; his mind was already filled with sensual thoughts.

Besides, tonight was their first night after registering their marriage.

Even though they would have plenty of time for such things on their honeymoon, his body was impatient to hold Danjung right now.

Thinking that he needed to wash Danjung in order to hold her, Minhyuk covered her with a fluffy blanket and headed to the bathroom.

Then, after filling the bathtub with warm water, he approached the sleeping Danjung and suddenly lifted her up in his arms.

“......”

Suddenly feeling her body float, Danjung opened her eyes wide in surprise and saw Minhyuk holding her.

Moreover, she was only in her underwear, completely unclothed.

What on earth was going on? Danjung instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to avoid falling.

Then, she stared intently at Minhyuk carrying her, thinking he would say something.

But Minhyuk just glanced down at Danjung without saying a word.

Thud, thud. Carrying Danjung, Minhyuk arrived in front of the bathroom in an instant.

As Minhyuk used his shoulder to push open the slightly closed bathroom door, the inside was filled with a milky steam from the warm water in the bathtub.

“I thought it would be better to wash up and sleep.”

Only then did Minhyuk tell Danjung the reason he had brought her here, and he lowered her from his arms.

Then, he looked intently at Danjung standing in front of him.

Thump-thump. Danjung’s whole body flushed due to Minhyuk’s hot gaze on her.

It was then. Minhyuk reached out and unhooked Danjung’s bra.

It seemed she would have to take off her underwear to get into the water anyway.

After placing her bra in a basket in the corner of the bathroom, Minhyuk looked at Danjung again.

Then, he placed his hand on top of Danjung’s panties.

“Haa, haa.”

Danjung, exhaling a breath of arousal, simply watched his actions.

Thus, Danjung was instantly stripped naked by Minhyuk’s touch, and she blushed with embarrassment.

Minhyuk, who had been silently watching Danjung, wanted to touch her body and do all sorts of sensual things right now.

But Minhyuk, wanting to wash Danjung, suppressed his rising instincts and reached out his hand to her.

As Danjung took his hand, Minhyuk helped her get into the bathtub.

And he didn’t forget to pour bath salts prepared in the corner of the bathroom into the tub.

The moment he added the bath salts, bubbles instantly rose, and Danjung, who had been bending her knees to hide her naked body, felt relieved.

‘This is nice~.’

As Danjung stretched out her legs and leaned her head against the edge of the tub, her tired body instantly began to feel languid.

The steam filling the bathroom, the fragrant scent of the bath salts, and the bubbles filling the tub provided a comfort that made her feel like she would fall asleep any moment if she closed her eyes.

But Danjung soon worried about her unremoved makeup and the dozens of pins stuck in her hair.

But as if reading her mind at that moment, Minhyuk sat down by the head of the tub and began to take out the pins stuck in Danjung’s hair.

“You really put in a lot.”

Minhyuk grumbled as he touched Danjung’s hair, which was stiff from hairspray.

Feeling good from his touch, Danjung tilted her head back, wanting to see Minhyuk.

“I should wash my hair and remove my makeup too.”

“We’ll do this first.”

Minhyuk replied nonchalantly, but Danjung was truly happy with his tenderness.

Who could imagine the president of Le Soleil Hotel taking out pins from her hair?

Danjung felt very proud of this side of Minhyuk that only she knew.

After that, Minhyuk washed her hair and removed her makeup as Danjung requested.

“Pfft.”

Danjung couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Minhyuk act like an obedient child.

But her laughter ended there.

It was because Minhyuk, having completed all his tasks, unbuttoned his shirt and took off his clothes.

Is he planning to get in here?

Danjung had already seen his naked body and done sensual things with him several times, but she was still embarrassed.

“I-It’s cramped.”

Danjung, her face flushed, mumbled while turning her gaze away.

But Minhyuk, who had already become naked, sat down behind Danjung, unconcerned by her words.

“This is nice.”

Minhyuk reached out and hugged Danjung, resting his face against her back.

Then, his weary body also seemed to relax instantly.

“We’re really husband and wife now.”

Danjung opened her mouth to hide her shyness.

But Minhyuk couldn’t agree with her words.

The path of asceticism, where he had to endure for a hundred days no matter what, still lay ahead.

“Not yet.”

Annoyed, Minhyuk grabbed Danjung’s face and turned her around to face him.

Then, he placed his lips on hers.

Kissing underwater created a strange atmosphere, and Danjung began to get excited just from the kiss.

And Minhyuk’s body also reacted to the moans escaping from between her lips.
