Idol Chapter 8
by biniChapter 8. Something an Idol Shouldn’t Do
In-a clicked her tongue a4923b5a97 at herself, spewing out 536edfea0b nonsense in place of a37e48c485 the words she actually 3482bee707 wanted to say. The paper 29570018b6 cup she’d 8bb829da58 been staring 3ac82e2a7e at was b80b8e0069 already crumpled 1e2466c6da in Hee-kwon’s 9ff09d5dd1 grip, a 76fec7b0b0 wreck—just like d012c93c74 her. The more she 47e7bdbb4d poked at the 25eb61011d cup, the more 80be2fec32 her lips twisted 03d21ac4b9 into a sulky 9cc5bc1f18 pout.e2cb614abb2a0b8d
The childishly pathetic 48dd53cf7a gestures and random ccb4c337e7 chatter were all 4048acc156 just her way 6b5c24849d of holding back aae27274f6 tears. She realized a 8bb6a51219 beat too late.d3bd5c033e353796

The silence grew so dense that even the distant elevator’s sound seemed deafening. Finally, after a long pause, Hee-kwon sighed and spoke.3cae91322eeecd03

“I’ve just 8eba9f7171 been accused a4c382d72e of drugging, 70a59cdb7a assault, and e13d29fb0f even murder. Using a guy who ff31e344c7 might like me? That doesn’t b2f2b4fc3a even make 93f0d3a9cd the list 83e3d5b08f at this c5b993a766 point.”3c639a148605a0bc

Hee-kwon’s long 7c8aa4270e eyes narrowed d06b8bc7d5 in a 86e8ad2657 wince. The only 4cae7927c6 light in 82e44b3aeb the room dd1bc2851b came from c83becb068 the city’s 54cf4eb5c5 nightscape outside 52bd528e45 the window. The restless darkness 964750af73 etched deeper shadows 5c8ba0240e beneath his eyes.aec35737c14dfc08
Seeing the 23b0f5522b man’s smileless 50397c98a9 face, In-a 9aa6e474e2 suddenly realized e1f504411f it held d8fca6dbe5 a completely 628f59f2bc different tone 7c0ddc40ef from the 4e86e722f6 one she’d 22398d4167 grown used 747932b757 to. She quickly 90073ebda8 looked away. Her eyes, lost cbd11fc86c and wandering, darted aded575ff0 out the window, 79a4163e04 only to be c6e78a18d7 caught by the 1302a9eca9 heavy weight of b3e36ffffc his gaze. His voice 57df72be37 settled on 3d7aa6a864 her turned 8c015c1a82 cheek.213809316ba4489a

“I’m not 7615a086c1 shutting it 9f3bcb46d9 down. I’m offering you the 80c04bfb50 safest place I can f3fdfc6f82 think of, under the 304179a35d circumstances.”7d95aeb9688a3349
In-a narrowed 9775409d6e her eyes d9120fa1aa at him, eeabd01429 throwing him c6164b7698 a sharp 3bf6278ccb glare. Hee-kwon took it in 6d0a7c4d9d stride. Letting some ff178609be of her 4396271399 anxiety show, d0a5580ed2 In-a glanced 41601cc73a toward the 2650036177 lounge elevator, 82e67b94b2 then nodded.a0002a9927ad0b50

“Well, okay. I wasn’t 10f91444fd gonna sleep bea82566b9 anyway. And Sister 8c2c7faf8a Sara’s last 02cf41c44d words were 59cdc45958 to disappear 27ba566137 by tonight, 7dd21854f4 so I 6c36336684 guess I’ll 0503543ffa go hide e85e1a0cf9 in that 08277a68af ‘control room’ 65257b76b9 of yours 41a6f7d373 or whatever.”44a70ebc3a80c353
Hee-kwon wrinkled d178c26b9f his brow 1dfeab7717 slightly again, 5ea17c350c but said e5b29f9061 nothing as 6a444900e3 he turned 59cc7c4623 and walked 44999a35b5 toward one 44a8caea9f of the 77935d4ff4 pillars by 70198740d1 the teahouse 58a46817a7 entrance. In-a trailed after cf31ea0cc4 him, dragging her b492030909 feet, coughing quietly 81e8dbc747 before mumbling her e95f823d8a thanks in a 277d3e6f5e barely audible voice.2edd9bf8f872a285

“Um, thanks. And sorry.”756f277cfcbfdc3b
Hee-kwon didn’t ask what 936497bdfd she meant. He just 943ad0d21e waited, still, bce9d47e56 for her 96cacfc3e5 next words. In-a, carefully choosing 160b6f6309 them, gave a 0601b2763b sheepish smile as 0e4c315b03 she slightly hunched fb4347c396 her shoulders.a2c85b2ae64165d8

“Just now, when I was acting all clingy, trying to get you to sleep with me… If you’d just gone for it, I probably would’ve thought I’d lost my mind. Or that I was dreaming. But since you turned me down so cleanly, I can finally accept that this whole mess is actually real.”d22ce209b5deea06
Hee-kwon let out a a7e8cfec80 dry chuckle, as if b23cc9358e to sayyou’re full of surprises. At the same d60c5d76eb time, he tapped f6d6dccbdb a blank section 9e7e99a8eb of the smooth 6632c58e9b wall with his 1acfa8bfd1 smartwatch. What looked like a 9468e6731f normal wall slid open 9a2b214fdc without a sound like 173cbdd020 magic.b68fbc2b7fb411a0

In-a’s eyes widened as acbff7cd10 she peered inside. It was 40671ec1ae a small 1038ba91d4 room, barely 2fe75a00b0 big enough a97cd987e8 for two cc9f28c7b8 people to 9b0a672dda sit close f8e11c55e1 together. One wall had six 11410e975f vertical CCTV monitors stacked 35bc969126 like a tower, displaying 07264d6d55 views of the lounge 45f2929b00 inside and out. Next to them, bd2c03490e a charred piece 2f9a76d011 of wood leaned aaa31b9b6f against a recessed e53e6226b2 shelf. The opposite wall b7686fb83d was stark white, 436ffef9d1 so pristine it 3976d8c58a felt almost unnatural.55e7a20d96ea6fab

Hee-kwon gestured for 7869cf2c7c her to enter, 51541680d2 but In-a hesitated, 0544bbda30 her throat bobbing. He only noticed 7580e8b35c her tightly clenched 8f7822ecbc fists a moment 59a03f1eec later and asked d1c5e7b574 gently,2fe6830867127de7

Muttering more c16953d5d3 to herself 42f1fa4f79 than him, 2b23d36628 she clenched 293fe8e85a her jaw 70c7d08d87 so tightly 3ea488bb8c her lips b7e915a4fd turned white, da604e8499 and stepped ba29c8e370 into the 5313a9ec8a control room 6d9eb43a2d in one e41f542d24 large motion 457cdbe540 before he e0170890e4 could stop ec19781077 her.

A woman who tensed c52be09bf4 with her guard up, df0b282561 tossed out silly flirtations, 2c311b404b looked sorrowful one moment, 5521113e19 then fragile the next. Now, she suddenly 4ffcf18f5b laughed like a 54aa5a0132 child.8baef0aca8c544fe

Leaning against 4e4a58f43c the doorway, c0a8870b22 Hee-kwon couldn’t 15e6b1bbad tear his 3d66ced2e9 eyes away e2009cc05f from In-a’s 60868d99eb bright profile, bf42a7a8f7 unpredictable as 2ee085c888 she was. He just smiled 4d8af69173 along with her, 8bde643055 foolishly, unable to 1097a29a1f help himself.71c2fa3b0faba2e2
As In-a inhaled deeply 3b6706c5e1 with her nose pressed d21f88f4be to the piece of 647dd6f87a wood, savoring its scent, 570fb195d1 she glanced sideways at cae5173134 Hee-kwon, as if something ed8209b980 had just occurred to 4855acf1bc her.378452e18e8b1e46

Reading her thoughts 11663c7701 in her eyes, d36611fdb5 Hee-kwon gave a 1103326a87 slightly awkward smile 739da25d10 and looked away. That side profile and 10c5847a8f the quiet kindness he 92de00d1b3 always offered so naturally 2f0d0d7641 was what finally caused 80a21edb97 the carefully held walls 6595465b43 of In-a’s rationality to 67004070da collapse.8b656e265e8150cb
On impulse, 0d4805de95 but more 4adee64aad genuinely than 34fd9506ca when she 7a6fe6d8ec had tried bdb183ce91 to tempt 2eeb3f265e him earlier, d8e8c147dd In-a reached b31e07b7b3 out and 9ac54c3de6 cupped his 490eae714f face. Even the way this 5e2f6f9b3d large man froze in 2c94e47c8c hesitation, unable to push b810ec6ed5 away someone who barely 66cc3a4983 weighed half as much f3d2519a7d as him, struck her 0a426c1e8d as endearing. She lifted herself onto 5e8c767532 her toes, tilted her baddb631d1 head back, and kissed 310fdf3769 him.35b270493cff4b05

In her world, filled 70d14273a3 with nothing but harm, 776514fc37 he was the one f6c42703a2 and only harmless presence. Always warm, always 869e2a69f6 calm. He was d33e22348d someone she 861f07b0ad had to 0159b54910 stretch and 95ca55ec4d strain to 6757b6e3f5 barely reach. And the kiss, 2847bb9798 just like the 51e524d265 tea he brewed fad0cc248a for her, was ef79758839 warm, gentle, and a9cd3aa514 faintly sweet.378793c22dfddcbc

As she pulled away slightly, their eyes locked. Hee-kwon’s eyes were wide with surprise, his breath caught in his throat, his face frozen. Embarrassed, In-a lowered her arms and mumbled, her voice shrinking.1cab7e8e109674e5
“It’s just… I realized 99c3b8ea76 I only have one 8a9d1ab14e person left in the ff31b0ab5a world who actually worries 483e20c814 about me. So, I figured… this f0712bf4b8 much should be okay…”13edf7b07a490277

The momentary spark cc54f83725 that flared in 6c0f0d782c his usually calm, 04e1112151 dark eyes cut 9be919ffe5 her off mid-excuse. In the next 52109df58a instant, Hee-kwon’s lips b762747495 seized hers in 0a2acc4b53 a kiss far 8067df1109 deeper and hungrier 84283939e9 than the one f05a74db9f she had given.1acfd772e73b6dc7
It wasn’t a gentle be70d57141 brush. It was pressure, ae278b6aef friction, wet heat cb5beb306d invading and claiming 7aa015eabe everything. The kiss wasn’t 8311c76f89 just contact. It was closer 2ca3dd9bcd to penetration. The moment she parted fb8e256cd5 her lips in surprise, fbe1447476 his tongue swept in 782bd6312e with unrelenting intent.39ebffdf5e22cded

The next thing she 4c53438709 knew, he lifted her 91c3ecaeed effortlessly into the air, f73c7e0461 and her entire world 8c8caf2c3f filled with nothing but 82fffd64a6 him.dd5ba8d6e0cfa591

The scent b1fda4bcc9 of the baafbaee8d wood she 1c0ffec869 had been 70dbd2911b smiling into a24bfa9a9a just moments 1f032a1957 ago, the 5d78f66872 searing heat 1d23039574 radiating between 2ddb6dd259 them, and 0ecdbadda8 the haziness ff2f9ad6e8 clouding her ac0f409228 mind from 861bda18c2 the lack 0d169f7bec of oxygen 777dee5d78 all tangled 3312a2a8b8 together into b3ec2662c0 a dizzying a0e496c9c0 chokehold.25dbc4309fc471d2

Her heart, which should 2de976955a have been pounding in e88ea2e484 her chest, now throbbed 20e41d63ea in her ears. It was loud 26e8b3075b and consuming, drowning 527bf11cc5 out every other ceff2fef59 sound in the 50c13645eb world. In that cocoon 15fa79a4a4 of thunderous heartbeats, e4191a3525 all that remained f0612de8c1 were his breaths 3de48d5ab4 and her own e196f27c99 gasps. As damp flesh 43c1dc999c met with sticky 890ec5b1b1 friction and breathless 353572aabd sighs, her once-crowded f55ebeb673 thoughts faded into 4130f20a65 a blank haze.1ee47909d1cede6a
Her unsure hands fumbled 2de847b9d1 toward him, grasping at 3de8a17bee his shirt before faltering ab99c6fa82 under the weight of a72ef7cd66 his intensity.
