Psst! We're moving!
A week later, Ye-seo left her house with a fluttering heart. Although they had had a meal and a drink on the day they officially started dating, she felt that this was their first real date since they began their relationship.
The two met at a public parking lot and headed to a Vietnamese pho restaurant in Sowol-ro, at the foot of Namsan Mountain. The yellow three-story house was a famous restaurant that shone even more exotically under the moonlight.
However, the atmosphere was a little different when they moved to a cafe after finishing their meal. Just like last time, it was an issue related to Choi In-ha.
“You’re going to work at Choi In-ha’s father’s company?”
He looked like he couldn’t believe his ears. His eyes were so clear that she could gauge his true feelings even before he said another word.
“Yes. Oppa In-... No, Senior In-ha said he wouldn’t go to his dad’s company at all during the break because he’ll be busy. He said we should just pretend our conversation from a week ago never happened since the adults don’t know about it, and just work there.”
“I’ve already found a tutoring job. It’s for a pair of middle-school sisters from a family my aunt knows.”
“What? Already?”
It seemed that they had already loosely agreed that she would tutor both sisters during the break and then focus on the older sister when the semester started. On top of that, the tutoring fee was quite high compared to the average.
“Is it okay for me to receive that much? It feels a bit excessive...”
Of course, she would do her best, but it was also a burden.
“It’s fine. They’re well-off enough to pay that much, and it’s not easy to find a good tutor.”
Besides, if she were to tutor two people three times a week, it would be difficult to do the work at Choi In-ha’s father’s company at the same time.
“What should I do? Senior In-ha’s father already took down all the job ads, thinking I was going to come...”
“He can just put them back up. If it’s a simple office job, there’ll be plenty of good candidates.”
His tone was calm, but there was a hint of determination. Ye-seo bit her lower lip slightly. She was in a difficult position. If she were to decline the tutoring job he had gone out of his way to find for her and choose Choi In-ha’s father’s company instead, the atmosphere would not be pleasant at all.
Han Joo-hyuk was clearly concerned about Choi In-ha. No, it would be more fitting to say that he was more on edge than necessary. Ye-seo didn’t voice her thoughts and cautiously presented a compromise.
“Can I first ask for the uncle’s understanding and then talk about it again? I’m so grateful for the tutoring job you found, Senior, but I think that’s the right order of things. I’ll call him tomorrow and tell you right away...”
“Just do the tutoring job.”
His tone was still gentle, but his eyes weren’t smiling.
“If it were anyone else, I would tell you to do that, but it’s Choi In-ha.”
“...”
“I don’t like you being involved with that... that person. I think you understand.”
She understood. If Han Joo-hyuk were to work a part-time job at the parents’ company of another female student in their department who liked him and had even confessed to him... No matter how much Han Joo-hyuk wouldn’t be swayed, she would still feel concerned and wouldn’t like it.
“Okay.”
Ye-seo gave in obediently without resisting any further.
“Then I’ll call him tomorrow and tell him I can’t do it, and apologize.”
“Yeah. Do that.”
He continued with a much softer expression.
“There’s no need to waste emotions on such meaningless things. It’s tiring.”
“What?”
Tiring... he definitely added that word. Did she hear it wrong? At that moment, Han Joo-hyuk suddenly reached out, and she flinched and tilted her head back. His finger softly brushed the corner of her lips and then quickly pulled away.
“You had some cream on you.”
Then, as if it was nothing, he brought his finger to his mouth. The trace of the cream milk tea latte on her lips instantly melted onto his tongue.
Thump. Her heart skipped a beat at his unintentionally suggestive gesture. Ye-seo quickly grabbed her teacup and drank the rest of the latte like water. Unlike her face, which was burning hot, the latte had become lukewarm.
I’m going crazy. What am I going to do?

“Mmm...”
Smooch, smooch, the wet sound filled the quiet car. Han Joo-hyuk’s tongue also wrapped around hers tightly. She was so out of it that she felt like she was somewhere between a dream and reality.
Her senses were becoming so dizzied that she couldn’t tell if the feelings were hers or his. His tongue was momentarily set free. But it was only for a moment, and the soft sensation tickled the roof of her mouth and attacked again, and Ye-seo’s hips suddenly bounced up.
One hand had entered her sweater and was pressing down firmly on her collarbone. The palm of his hand, which was tracing the soft curve of her breasts over the rough lace of her bra, was as cold as ice. But that was only for a moment, as it melted into her warmth and soon became hot. His five fingers dug inward, and the heat completely took over her bare skin.
Ye-seo was so startled that she wiggled her hips and pushed him away by his shoulders. Their lips parted, but the hand that was gently cupping one of her breasts remained there.
“Se-nior...”
Between their lips, fluids that hadn’t been collected dripped down like a fine thread. It was only after he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips that the saliva seemed to evaporate.
“...Don’t you like it?”
The inside of his thumb caressed her nipple, which had already hardened.
“Ah! Hng...”
Senior, it’s not fair to ask me that while you’re touching me like that, her protest had already turned into a moan. Her nipple felt like it was going to burst from the tip of his finger.
Haa. A thin sigh escaped through her clenched teeth in two parts. His sigh was one of a man consumed by lust on the verge of exploding, and hers was a struggle to suppress the desire that was constantly being provoked.
“Euh... hng, Se-nior... Ah! Ah!”
The finger that had been slowly caressing the knob now poked the center with its tip. Soon after, the inside of his thumb, as if to soothe it, pressed down on the knob that had been poked. Ye-seo’s hips bounced up one more time.
“S-stop it... Ah... Hnng...!”
Her mind went blank from the teasing that alternated between slow caresses, hard pokes, and firm presses. She tried to grab his wrist and pull it away, trying to stop his provocation.
But he didn’t budge. Instead, he put more force into his fingers and began to rub her nipple aggressively. Euh, Hng, a mournful moan escaped from deep within Ye-seo’s throat. She even felt powerless from the difference in strength where two of her hands couldn’t even beat one of his.
The feeling of powerlessness soon turned into self-loathing. Is he getting rougher because he’s a mind reader and knows that I actually want him to continue because the pleasure is too intense? Her mind was spinning uncontrollably.
Ye-seo opened her eyes at the feeling of the seat reclining backward. As she was lying half-reclined on the leather seat, he climbed on top of her. His muscular body covered her, and her vision instantly became dark. All she could see was the ceiling of the car over his square shoulders.
Han Joo-hyuk now used his other hand as well, pulling up the hem of her sweater and bra to her neck and began to fondle her breasts in earnest. Her breasts felt like they were on fire. His hands rubbed her prominent nipples until they were sore and painful, and then they fell away from her breasts.
“Ah! Hng!”
A tongue, hotter than his fingers, instantly swallowed one of her nipples. Chup, churup, the obscene sounds of his tongue, her nipple, and his lips intensely rubbing against each other were so loud that she felt deaf. Only one of her breasts felt like it was engulfed in a blazing fire of pleasure.
He caught his breath, which had become as rough as an animal’s, and began to suck on her other nipple as well. The fierce contact continued as if to show that he would love and torment both sides equally.
“Ah, Se-nior, Hng... Euh...! Mmng...”
Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it would burst. Every time he bit her nipple gently with his teeth, all her nerves stood up, and a hazy mist seemed to cover her eyes.
This was the first time. Had Han Joo-hyuk ever lost his self-control to this extent? No matter how much she thought about it, he had never shown such raw passion before. She felt an unknown fear engulf her at the same time as the ecstasy.
If just mixing saliva with a kiss and fondling my breasts is this intense...! She already felt dizzy just thinking about how it would be when they went all the way and if she could even handle it.
“Se-nior...”
After being so out of it that she felt like she would pass out, he finally took his mouth off her breast and lifted his head. Once she was free from the tongue that had been sucking and biting without reservation, a feeling of emptiness and faint pain came over her instead of pleasure.
The emptiness that rushes in after being separated from the tongue that was so intense it felt like it would tear her nipple off. Ye-seo closed her eyes at the self-loathing that was rising again.
Han Joo-hyuk caught his breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead. His hand, which was gently peeling off the hair stuck to her cheek, was soft. Only after she had caught her breath did her consciousness slowly return to normal.
She believed it would end there. She waited for him to straighten the seat, but that was a misconception. He was still above her on the reclined seat.
“Ah, Senior! What are you... No!”
His hand suddenly slipped inside the waistband of her skirt-leggings. His flat palm quickly slid down her waist, traced the space between her legs, and then pressed down firmly on the center of her underwear.
A jolt ran through the center of her body. Ye-seo was so terrified that she squirmed, feeling something gushing out, but Han Joo-hyuk’s other hand was holding her hips tightly.
“Senior...! Ah, no...!”
It wasn’t a feeling of something gushing out, but it was actually gushing and flowing. As if in immediate response to his touch, the center of her underwear became warm and started to get wet and sticky.
“Ye-seo.”
He whispered in her ear as if to soothe her. His voice, which was full of uncontrollable desire, was so hoarse that it sounded like it was coming from a deep cave. But that only made it sound more appealing. She felt like she was going crazy. Her heart was racing even at the rough, metallic voice.
