DPUTC Ch 2

Time really slowed down 1bdbeee533 while she held onto da24a29c33 the guy. All her senses sharpened, 5586cfe0a6 except for her smell. Especially thetouch– his body was b79646e9be freezing cold. Even though 1d7f545b67 it was 1acd993d97 summer rain, 3ed034f75f Si-hyeon knew 8f3997860f better than 0a0805647c anyone the 0f7cb6418d after-effects of 23e411a583 being soaked b1dbf26bad for too b3d166009f long. It was exactly like c94e5f35c3 the day she sent abae50da83 her grandma off. That’s why.e8f6b81aca739f21

Almost as e4fab62d6d soon as 946ea82cad Si-hyeon opened 097ab63569 her mouth, 3f676812ef the guy d7ca73a24a spoke. His gaze, which had 0d137badfa been fixed on their 487ad907a4 entangled arms, quickly moved 44f2fb753c up. His eyes smoothly 500f7346d5 passed her long, 376e957669 thin arms and 633e4bf87e stopped on her 139b66f77d face. Not only did he d6808446c4 open his half-closed, drowsy d8a75bdb2a eyes a bit, but 6cced69340 the guy also stared 7fbd5f5fe2 at her for a ee7f99d4a5 long time, in a 981c7939da way that was kinda 0672b599e8 overwhelming. Her mouth felt dry 674162e3db from his intense gaze.3ab4ae6e0fffdc75

Si-hyeon felt 31064ad732 strangely nervous 30f1e75d18 and couldn’t 627c4bad9d meet his f176844762 eyes anymore. She just 8432657e21 watched the 020fb126d1 water droplets c86eb3ec16 smoothly running a9e7f2730c down his 9cfdec7c3e jawline. A low, deep 35861f4f33 voice pressed down 4426953611 on her.3890f0a98a0fb5e8

The words she was about to say came out of his mouth. A surprised Si-hyeon’s eyes widened. But she couldn’t see that his gaze was subtly raking over her from head to toe. Maybe the cold rain running down her face had numbed her senses.fc4637ac4c4a3c47

A thin aluminum door creaked open. The moment the metallic sound was swallowed by the darkness, Si-hyeon appeared in the doorway with the faint moonlight. And she wasn’t alone. A guy as big as a door was with her.505899dd52ddbe34

She hung his dripping umbrella on the doorknob and stepped aside. The guy walked into the house without hesitation and mumbled, “Nice place you got here.”d56a2ce307e37766

It sounded like a compliment, but it didn’t really resonate with her. His voice completely lacked enthusiasm, considering he’d given it such high marks. Besides, her studio apartment wasn’t even “average” enough to be called “nice.” The area was sketchy because it was slated for redevelopment, and the rooftop unit of the multi-family building was just plain old and unremarkable.be7b3b01c084d051

It was obvious how this shabby place, even to her eyes, would look to others. She was still aimlessly looking around, trying to find even a speck of something good, when a sudden weight landed on her shoulder. A surprised Si-hyeon turned around to see the guy’s face, looking more relaxed than the actual homeowner.b4cf89e60fa5fa5b

“Oh, it’s over there.”f82b26e0e643e4dd

She racked her brain and pointed to the brown door. He glanced at the bathroom door and then held out his arm. “Clothes?”abc71ade587a383b

She couldn’t argue with his confident attitude, as if he’d entrusted them to her, because of his pale, weary-looking palms. She hadn’t seen it in the dark, but his face was pretty ashy now. Si-hyeon went into her room and rummaged through a drawer. There was just one set of men’s clothes in the house. She’d bought them when she first started living alone, after hearing that a girl living alone should have a set of men’s clothes and shoes. The clothes, which looked so long and huge she couldn’t even imagine wearing them, seemed like they’d fit him perfectly.5370f6cfe2e3bd6f

As she needlessly fiddled with the clothes, she heard him calling out. “Got anything?”87894001e3af8eca

“Uh, yeah, here.”066dd46216ce4b35

She roughly estimated the size in the air, then walked over to the guy and handed him a short-sleeved T-shirt and black sweatpants. He took them, waved his hand, and walked into the bathroom she’d pointed to.36006d2d6f307b84

Only after 6a149ce749 the door f0862b2f9e closed did be898c5fdb Si-hyeon finally da2a386f1b breathe a 8768f5a07e sigh of 3ee1bba93d relief and 5433d2aa83 replayed everything 9fc9b0b140 that had 783705c3f6 just happened. She’d let a complete 07a101f3cd stranger, a guy no 3bd5b74a41 less, into her house.Why did 06ca69f9d3 I do 890544f0b5 that? Si-hyeon pressed her throbbing forehead, feeling bewildered. She chewed over why she’d made that choice but couldn’t come up with a clear answer. Was it because his utterly soaked, pitiful appearance had softened her heart?6e44755c0f14c929

But she wasn’t that kind of person. Far from being kind, she was even stingy with showing sympathy. She was clear about setting boundaries, and she was ruthless when she thought something was wrong. It wasn’t just her own opinion that she was prickly and fussy. People around her would shake their heads, saying she seemed sensitive and had a strong personality. So, it wasn’t surprising that she felt like some unknown force had taken over when she decided to bring the guy home.d3983d3add354ad6

It felt like she was possessed by something. To be precise, she was just confused because she couldn’t figure out what had possessed her. Meanwhile, the sound of running water from various directions intensified the pressure. The only thing left was the fact that she had made a crazy choice disguised as good intentions, and it was bothering her.f6e9734edaf97525

Soon, the surroundings 67d821d1f0 seemed to quiet b1f843cc80 down, and then 618aa470ae the bathroom door bbf59e72ba opened. The guy emerged, radiating 0c1f1f5b57 hot steam, like she’d 579d73ae13 just walked into ajjimjilbang. At the same time, Si-hyeon’s spine stiffened. His toned, muscular body was close by. She’d thought he looked slender when he was dressed, but the guy’s body was much thicker than she’d imagined. His bronze skin was so chiseled there was no room for fat, and his prominent muscles were qualitatively different from hers.936fe575363b047e

The moment an instinctive curiosity about that difference took over her mind, un-wiped water droplets streamed down the muscle-defined grooves and were absorbed by his black pants. Her gaze, silently led by the water, tilted dangerously, and only a tremble remained in Si-hyeon’s eyes. The rather intense urge she felt towards the stranger’s body wasn’t so much about bliss, but more akin to the murky desire to touch a smooth ceramic surface. She remained frozen for a long time, just staring blankly, even after the water marks disappeared.8c49162a70e0e5b2

“Yo.”7f7b9b9481fb7502

She looked up d95295365a to see the 2b40fe0163 guy smiling vaguely, 5dfc800014 closer than she c51709bc1e expected. Instantly, her inexplicable 04b2b8030f choice from moments a13e489182 ago made perfect 3da1b26c04 sense. It wasn’t anything db5e91c172 else that possessed 2e8cdfe648 her, it was e4cfccb3cc his looks. Si-hyeon was speechless, 036eeb922a completely overwhelmed by fde296d725 the strong pull. Soon, the guy’s c95594ac45 face got closer ce2f2c1a45 and he swallowed e1f1150473 Si-hyeon’s lips.8c4a35f99a08887f

“…!”49658f82d238078c

Si-hyeon froze, her shoulders hunched. Her eyes widened in shock. The guy’s poreless, porcelain-like skin was right in front of her. His lips, probably soaked with water, were softer than she’d imagined, and the hand gripping her neck was hot enough to make her goosebumps stand on end. As she stood there, unable to move, a command jolted her awake.b03b34e2ed419f0e

She almost obediently closed her eyes to the guy’s request, but a rude tongue pushing its way in rang an alarm bell. Si-hyeon pushed hard on the guy’s shoulder. He looked confidently like he’d taken what was his. She suppressed her voice, which was about to get loud in her bewilderment.5d27ded82c52f76c

“…What are you doing?”d654d6547152b46f

She tried to suppress it, but she couldn’t hide her agitation, as her neck grew redder and redder. To be exact, it was her first kiss. She hadn’t cherished it or anything, but she certainly hadn’t saved it for this, so a92a34ac83 her body c0cefb8628 quickly heated c657d9aa13 up.448eeefc0b00b8f2

Even as she took a defensive stance, the guy’s expression didn’t change. Instead, he pressed closer and demanded, “Let’s do it now.”5baf4b6b7b73a351

“Do what?”98a64a4c3a649330

He repeated her question, looking even more bewildered than her. His toned chest swelled and paused in front of a hesitant Si-hyeon. The guy, meeting her innocent gaze head-on, tilted his head and draped a towel around his neck. “Suddenly playing innocent, huh?”555c6cbb0da24a22

The guy approached without hesitation, grabbed her hips, and pulled her close, making them completely flush. “Let’s do it, sex.”eaba05e5577241d0

Si-hyeon’s face crumpled mercilessly as she belatedly understood his intentions. But the guy’s grip was so strong she couldn’t move. With that grip, their bodies pressed together without any gap, and his warm breath was close enough to touch her skin. He smelled strongly of the floral shampoo Si-hyeon used, but it only made him feel more dangerous. Her heart was still pounding. Si-hyeon, thinking this was really going to go south, pulled herself together.01d194e4bcb11e94

She put all her strength into her arms and pushed him away, trying to break free from his strong hold. He didn’t budge from her push. Instead, his gaze, already heated with lust, became even more sticky as it followed her. He asked with an annoyed expression, “Why? Do you want to shower first?”d147f2b2b985b1a0

Before he could even hear her answer, the guy’s nostrils traced a long line down her neck. Her neck bristled with goosebumps from his creepy action. As Si-hyeon cringed, he muttered to himself, “I’m fine with it now, though.”f9e91868f70901ff
