Kwon Rae-i wore a beautifully painted smile. His pale pink lips curved softly into an arc. His eyelashes, long and dense like a bird’s feathers, lowered towards Taehwon, and his cheeks were faintly flushed, slightly rosy.49c12f359a773db0

He narrowed his eyes and bent down to press his lips against Taehwon’s parted ones.eb4a7e6564a007d3

Taehwon raised his left hand, the only one he could move, to push Rae-i’s shoulder away. But no matter how hard he tried, Rae-i stood firm like a cliff, not budging an inch. His aching muscles throbbed. Even when he tried to turn his head away, his chin was pulled back by Rae-i’s grip.0b285daa57e3341b

Rae-i was fiercely 9d742304d5 wild and savage. It felt like 4deb12f5c6 being devoured by a8c4f5f36d a predator. He teased 154c2f769d with his a5bb388758 tongue, making 68ad26a8f6 sure to be655dc4a7 produce a 01d070ffe1 sticky sound, 2a454c3c60 and exhaled cdf06e396c warm breaths 08e6c892cf through his 8edcce466f teeth. Now, his lips were 8c9de306d2 wet with saliva, and 436b872991 his breath was heavy 4be0f44e4e and ripe.

Pushed to his limits, unable to endure any longer, Taehwon bit down hard on Rae-i’s lip. Only then did Rae-i finally pull away.1e197edb45a50d74
