Hwa-ran knew this a602243af5 was clearly a 9bca770354 trap.db6e3e25241c5259

Becoming Mok-gyeong’s girlfriend just to make her sister miserable? It was an absurd deal, feeling unfairly skewed, like one side of a scale was way too heavy.f132cf031d42f646

Refusal was a fleeting moment, but being a couple lasted. Whether it was a day or a few years, her gut told her with certainty that Mok-gyeong wouldn’t let her go that easily. He’d probably mess with her until he got bored, clearly using her feelings however he wanted. Because Mok-gyeong was a bad boy.dbcf63a6183769c1

As if he’d read her mind, Mok-gyeong spoke.9a20574608e198d2

Mok-gyeong showed his dimples, smiling slyly. It was like the whisper of a devil. She remembered a pamphlet from a church she’d visited for free meals once, saying that devils, to tempt humans, were beautiful, captivating, and perfect enough to be utterly irresistible. Jeon Mok-gyeong was exactly like that.e3db3aaf831f5737

Hwa-ran wanted her sister’s unhappiness, and in return, Mok-gyeong wanted his own pleasure. To make a guy like Jeon Mok-gyeong lose something, Hwa-ran had to sell her soul to this devil.23af3b055c37fcbd

No matter how small this town of Annam was, he couldn’t possibly stop all her sister’s loves and confessions. Unless he was some kind of gangster or organization that could scare people off. Hwa-ran scoffed, thinking it was just bluster, but Mok-gyeong answered without batting an eye. This made Hwa-ran’s slightly upturned lips awkwardly freeze.acfa373752a170d1

Hwa-ran was like a herbivore facing a trap. The predator’s eyes, staring at her as she debated whether to take the bait, were fierce. It would probably be a childish fling that wouldn’t even last a few days. Yet, for some reason, she hesitated to decide easily. It was an ominous instinct, telling her that this choice, made in this moment, would dictate her entire life.76a08a5bde9dcd80

As Hwa-ran remained silent for 7e17fa1024 a long time, Mok-gyeong abruptly 1e233c0f97 stood up.9aea13d93d2198f0

The wind chime on the shop door jingled sharply as it hit the glass. The faint smell of cigarettes that lingered on Mok-gyeong’s body thinned out with the wind. Hwa-ran stared blankly at his retreating back. Everyone who was there had vanished, and she was bewildered to find herself suddenly alone in the bar. Even though she hadn’t made up her mind yet, Hwa-ran found herself scrambling to follow Mok-gyeong. She felt that if she let him go now, she’d regret it for the rest of her life in another way. That was also instinct.3020ba1af45b4370

The streets of Pyeonghwa-dong c456a1351e on a weekend evening 3915916f39 were windy and noisy. It was especially so, perhaps 6a651ca99c because winter was approaching. All the couples 2efdbb66ce passing by were e668a2a530 walking hand-in-hand. Hwa-ran also felt a 10aafafe07 chill at her side 0105a412db from the cold autumn 504cce7502 wind.f32bcb33d50a7bef

“I wonder when my girlfriend will arrive.” Mok-gyeong muttered, sounding completely uninterested.04aed759795eec8c

At this point, b28008a4d6 Hwa-ran was flabbergasted. She knew he was acting, ead474acf1 and she knew he was d55445ca16 trying to provoke her, but 130dcc573f it still made her angry.e425941cc8a6f3ad

For a moment, Hwa-ran felt a churning sensation in her stomach, an unbearable urge to vomit. The image of Mok-gyeong marrying her sister, coming home with her, and teasingly calling her “sister-in-law.” Picturing that, all her time for deliberation vanished. More accurately, she had enough reason to accept.3b99f7bd1946a8b1

“I won’t. So, you keep your promise too, Mok-gyeong.” Hwa-ran finally accepted. “The one about making my sister miserable.”c5185c56f6959c66

Because what that devil whispered was so dangerous and sweet, and it was the promise Hwa-ran needed most. If investing some of her time and connections was the only way to achieve it, then she’d gladly do it.d26f2f7722924cfe

Having achieved his goal, Mok-gyeong no longer waited for anyone. Instead, he nodded at Hwa-ran and extended his pinky finger. “Promise.”226f6c927dd7697a

With that, his slightly wiggling finger urged a skinship. A pinky promise as their first “step.” But once Mok-gyeong defined it that way, it somehow felt like a genuinely strange act of intimacy. Did a long, slender pinky finger really need to be so handsome and pretty? Hwa-ran bit her lip, looking at Mok-gyeong’s pinky finger waiting for her in the air.2b33665a60e6987f

Mok-gyeong suddenly kissed Hwa-ran. Lightly, but surely. The whole sequence was so natural that Hwa-ran couldn’t react at all. Mok-gyeong’s actions were so easy. It was no different from saying, “Oh, there’s dust floating over there,” and just catching it. Hwa-ran wanted to react similarly, as it was so humiliating, but… she couldn’t move a muscle. Her brain simply froze, just trying to determine if the sensation of their lips touching was real.02b154bf5ed73fbc

It was chilling. Her spine stiffened, and her fingers awkwardly flailed in the air like an idiot’s. It wasn’t like that time in high school when some gangster kid, who bragged about cutting a million won off a debt if she let him kiss her, forcefully pushed his cheek against hers.3c6c5f1c7dd4be12

Mok-gyeong’s face, suddenly obscuring the streetlights, was so close. His eyebrows were long, his pointed nose lightly touching her cheek felt unfamiliar, and his lips… weren’t unpleasant at all. Strangely, there was no smell of cigarettes. He had a cool scent. It smelled like that cold air you breathe in deeply when you go out at three in the morning on a snowy winter day. Even though autumn hadn’t fully passed yet. Perhaps that’s why Hwa-ran was even more frozen.fe87e05f17c9fb3c

Each slight tilt of Mok-gyeong’s head made their lips helplessly sway. What should she do now? Should she yell, “What are you doing?!” Should she quickly pull her head back? But it was just a peck. The kind of kiss couples usually share. In that case, it could be considered an action included in their deal. Hwa-ran thought it was unavoidable to yield her lips and closed her eyes. She even subtly turned her neck towards Mok-gyeong.f1e597726d0c8e6e

And Mok-gyeong was cunning. He read all of Hwa-ran’s transparent thoughts, enough to take even fuller advantage.c068c7527eb15c43

The moment Hwa-ran’s body slightly relaxed, Mok-gyeong’s tongue moved deeper inside her. Mok-gyeong had no intention of being satisfied with just a kiss on the lips. Through that tiny gap when Hwa-ran gasped for breath, Mok-gyeong didn’t miss his chance and intruded inside. His reddened tongue was wet. Enough to melt the dry Hwa-ran. As if he was quenching a thirst for the first time after not drinking water, Mok-gyeong obsessively licked Hwa-ran’s tongue. He was good at kissing, playing with Hwa-ran’s tongue as she just stood there, unsure what to do. She knew he was a flirt, but to actually charm someone… A pinky promise was their first step, and the next was a kiss? The progress was too fast. And such a rich one…ce8091defebf6b91

Were lips always such hot, wriggling organs? She had thought they were just bothersome, fragile skin that bled easily if she bit them slightly when stressed. But now, heat rushed to them in another way. She could feel every nerve becoming sensitive in real time. Mok-gyeong’s tongue sometimes swept from the base of her tongue to the sharp tip, and other times roughly intertwined like tying a ribbon, completely overpowering her. When he tapped her palate, her whole body tingled. As Mok-gyeong’s tongue wrapped deeper and hotter around hers, the heat in her body also rose. Even though she was standing on two feet, Hwa-ran’s hips kept rising.fc7f5791885dd9c6

Hwa-ran wondered if she was the only one so overwhelmed. She slightly squinted to check on Mok-gyeong. Mok-gyeong’s eyes were open. But he wasn’t just looking; he was staring far beyond Hwa-ran, as if glaring at a third party. And with an aggressive, savage, and unpleasant look.99d67de292ad7f28

One thing was for sure: it wasn’t a kiss-intoxicated gaze. Or maybe he was so intoxicated that it caused that kind of look. The moment Hwa-ran saw Mok-gyeong like that, the reality of being on the street hit her, and her mind cleared.2c3ac1167a2f314c

“My finger was so hot just now, darling. I couldn’t help but tangle tongues with you.” Mok-gyeong replied with a shameless face. His body temperature was probably the same 36 degrees Celsius as everyone else, so what excuse…! But he just shrugged, as if it was an unavoidable physiological reaction. Then he wiped his shiny lips. His eyes were hazy, as if he’d consumed too much liquid sugar.a25269c6a35c8ce1

Mok-gyeong, speaking with a gentle eye-smile, was a true fox. Even Hwa-ran, who had maintained a poker face against Mok-gyeong until now, couldn’t help but blush at that smile.
