CHAPTER 02
Her steps quickened as she headed home.
With a click as the door shut, their lips met at the same time without either of them taking the lead.
Jeonghan cupped Yoonju’s cheek with one hand and removed her coat with the other.
As the soft cashmere coat fell to the floor with a thud, Jeonghan lifted Yoonju in his arms without breaking the kiss.
“Mmh, Jeonghan… let’s wash up first.”
“Why?”
Though he asked for a reason, Jeonghan headed straight for the bedroom as if he had no intention of listening.
Jeonghan laid Yoonju on the bed and continued kissing her.
As their lips stayed together, he removed his coat and took off his suit jacket and vest.
It was unlike him to be in such a hurry.
Yoonju tried to ease his effort by unbuttoning his shirt one by one.
As his firm, muscular body hidden beneath the white dress shirt was revealed, she unconsciously swallowed.
“Han Yoonju.”
“Mm?”
“Now you’re openly swallowing too.”
As Jeonghan played with her sensitive earlobe, Yoonju’s cheeks quickly turned red.
Their faces were so close that they could feel each other’s breath.
Their body temperatures rose instantly, and at the same time, their senses became sharper.
Yoonju grabbed Jeonghan’s shoulders with her hands.
“I’ll go slowly, so don’t be nervous.”
As if reproaching himself for his urgency, Jeonghan’s gaze dimmed for a moment.
Lowering his head, he slowly pressed his lips to her forehead, nose bridge, cheeks, and neck.
Each time his lips brushed her skin, Yoonju let out soft breaths mixed with faint moans.
It wasn’t her first time, yet whenever she was this close to Jeonghan, her body wouldn’t listen to her.
She grew aroused on her own, urged him on, and became restless.
The same went for her sounds.
Sometimes Yoonju wondered if the sounds she made were really her own.
“Hngh, Jeonghan… haa…”
Yoonju’s lips, releasing warm breaths, were redder than before.
She looked at Jeonghan through half-lidded eyes.
Seeing his gaze as heated as hers made her chest swell.
It was because she could see her own face fully reflected in his deep, firm eyes.
Yoonju moved the hand on his shoulder to cup his cheek.
In response, he tilted his head and pressed his lips against her palm.
Feeling the warmth through her hand, a soft smile formed on Yoonju’s lips.
Jeonghan, who had been staring blankly at her smile, pressed his lips to hers again.
Their overlapping lips intertwined, and the kiss deepened uncontrollably as warm breaths mingled.
The sweet and strange sensation made the insides of her thighs tingle.
“Ah.”
At the heavy pressure pressing down on her, Yoonju bit Jeonghan’s lips.
As if that triggered him, Jeonghan kissed her even more fiercely than before.
As his hot tongue moved intensely, Yoonju couldn’t breathe properly.
She tried to turn her head to create space, but Jeonghan persistently pulled her lips back to his.
“Ah!”
As his large hand grasped her chest, Yoonju’s shoulders trembled.
Her already sensitive body reacted intensely even to the slightest touch from him.
As Yoonju breathed heavily from the indescribable pleasure, Jeonghan’s gaze deepened further.
“Hngh, Jeonghan…”
As Jeonghan lowered his head toward her chest, Yoonju bit her lips.
With the heightened sensations, she curled her toes.
Wet, soft moans kept slipping from her lips.
As unfamiliar sounds poured out continuously, Yoonju pressed her lips with the back of her hand.
But the sounds didn’t stop and kept escaping.
A tingling sensation spread through her inner thighs.
“Yoonju.”
In a low voice, Jeonghan removed her hand from her lips.
“It sounds nice, so why?”
“Haa… it’s too…”
At Jeonghan’s movements, heavier than before, Yoonju clutched the sheets.
A dizzying sensation surged through her in an instant, making her chin tremble.
The feeling of being overwhelmed lasted only a moment.
As a warmth filled her, a shiver ran to the top of her head.
It felt like an indescribable pleasure piercing through her entire body.
Jeonghan felt the same pleasure.
His throat bobbed strongly as he clenched his teeth.
Yoonju lifted her arms and wrapped them around Jeonghan’s neck.
Leaning down, he buried his lips in her neck.
His breath against her skin felt hotter than ever.
When he lifted his head again, the corners of his lips curled mischievously.
“Tomorrow is Saturday.”
“I still have to go to the academy on Saturday.”
Since her practical exam was near, she had to attend even on Saturday.
Realizing this, Jeonghan frowned and let out a sigh.
“I guess I can’t tease you more.”
At his regretful voice, Yoonju whispered softly.
“Do a little more.”
At her request, Jeonghan’s gaze darkened.
As if he couldn’t help it after being asked, he spoke.
“Then I won’t hold back anymore.”
“….”
“I won’t make it too hard on you.”
Adding that he would be considerate, he grabbed her wrist without hesitation.
As if telling her not to interfere with whatever he would do next.
—
Saturday classes ended at one.
Since some schools held practical exams today, less than half the usual number of students attended.
After submitting her assignment, Yoonju left the classroom and got into the elevator.
The closing doors opened again.
“Yoonju, are you heading home now?”
“Yes, teacher.”
Seo Euntae was wearing a cross bag, seemingly off work.
Since the instructors were in their late twenties to early thirties, they addressed Yoonju with “-ssi,” unlike other students.
She had heard that Seo Euntae was in his late twenties.
“I heard K University is your first choice?”
“Yes.”
“You know it’s important to draw cleanly there, right?
Ah, and the professors there don’t like pastel.”
“I see.”
Yoonju nodded.
It was something that could’ve been said during class, so it felt strange hearing it alone in the elevator.
Especially after what the students had said yesterday as if on purpose for her to hear.
After getting off, Yoonju greeted him.
“I’ll see you on Monday.”
Seo Euntae looked like he had something to say.
But Yoonju pretended not to notice and stepped outside.
As she tried to hurry away, Seo Euntae suddenly stepped in front of her.
“Yoonju.”
“Yes?”
“Ah, let’s have lunch together.”
He said with an awkward smile.
Yoonju gently turned him down so as not to offend him.
“Let’s all eat together after the exams are over.”
“We can do that then too, but today I want to eat with just you.”
There’s no such thing as a good rejection.
Even though she tried to deflect, Seo Euntae didn’t back down.
But she couldn’t outright refuse either.
She would have to keep seeing him until the practical exams were over.
“What should I do, teacher? I have to get home quickly.”
“I’ll walk you home after we eat.”
“No, teacher. It’s okay.”
“If a meal is too much, then let’s at least have coffee.”
“….”
Unlike his gentle appearance, Seo Euntae was persistent.
There was a hint of obsession in his gaze behind the glasses.
It felt like she shouldn’t bluntly reject him.
After thinking for a moment, Yoonju smiled and said,
“Then can I call my husband?”
“….”
“My husband likes coffee.”
“Uh… Yoonju, so… you’re married?”
“Yes.”
“No way.”
Seo Euntae chuckled and shook his head as if he didn’t believe her.
Just as the corner of his lips began to twist—
“Yoonju.”
At Jeonghan’s voice, Yoonju turned her head.
He was standing by the driver’s door, as if he had been waiting for some time.
“I’ll get going now, teacher.”
Yoonju greeted Seo Euntae again and ran toward Jeonghan’s car.
As soon as she sat in the passenger seat, Jeonghan asked in a cold voice,
“Who is that?”
“My teacher.”
“Why is a teacher holding a student back like that?”
Even as he asked, Jeonghan kept his eyes on Seo Euntae.
His gaze burned with jealousy, almost as if it could shoot lasers.
“Let’s go home first.”
“You should answer me first.”
“Let’s talk when we get there.”
