MS Ch 10 part 3

She remembered that morning clearly.

Whenever she woke up in the middle of the night to the blue light of dawn, warm hands soothed her back to sleep. Someone else’s body heat within the darkness. The cozy embrace and the sound of his steady breathing. The moments when she leaned against his chest and quietly closed her eyes.

And when she woke up, unable to resist the cries of the cicadas, the spot next to her was empty.

The blanket that had covered the both of them seemed too small when he was here, but now it seemed spacious. The sturdy arm that had been supporting her head had been replaced with a flat pillow.

Her hair was desheveled as she sat up. She absentmindedly swept the spot next to her, feeling inexplicably empty.

That’s why this morning felt a little different.

She was awoken from her deep sleep by a hand stroking her hair.

She listlessly opened her eyes, and a bitter smell lingered around her nose. As her vision gradually focused, she saw someone’s profile. Unlike Euncho, who was completely naked and only covered by a blanket, this person was completely dressed in business attire. It was obvious who he was.

“Ki Taejuuu.”

His fingers that were flicking the cigarette suddenly froze.

The first thing that caught her eye as he turned to her was the faint smile that hung on the corner of his lips. He stretched out his hand towards her face, and Euncho rubbed her cheek against his palm. Then she spoke in a drowsy, exasperated whisper.

“Smoking is prohibited inside the suites…’’

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?”

Euncho, who had been in the middle of stretching her limbs, suddenly faltered.

“Yesterday… I wasn’t really in the right mind to tell you.”

“Yeah. You seemed too busy moving your hips and losing your mind.”

Despite her warning, Ki Taeju continued smoking. The white smoke lingered across his cheeks before scattering. His arrogant eyes narrowed as he looked down at Euncho.

“So what if I smoke? This is my hotel.”

“You’re such a jerk…”

He snickered and put his arms under Euncho’s waist. Wrapped within the blanket, she was lifted up into the air and then placed on his lap. Euncho pulled both of her arms out of the blanket and wrapped them around his neck.

“What time is it? I need to get ready for work.”

“You’re taking a sick day today, so get some rest.”

“Huh?”

Her drowsy eyes suddenly widened as if they were going to pop out of her head. When she looked at him with suspicion in her eyes, Ki Taeju grinned. She could see the ulterior motives in his attitude. Euncho narrowed her eyes.

“I take it back. You’re not a jerk.”

“Ha.”

Ki Taeju scoffed in disbelief at the sudden change in her opinion just because he gave her a sick day. Euncho rubbed her lips on his neck. It must have felt ticklish because his low laugh flowed into her ears.

“You’re still as affectionate as always.”

“You don’t like it?”

“I never said I didn’t like it.”

He lowered the cigarette and pressed his lips onto her temple.

“From now on, whenever you’re done with work, come here.”

“Here?”

“Yeah.”

“…Here?”

“Here.”

He continued to nail it into her head as if he didn’t want her to have any other thoughts. Then he went a step further.

“Actually, it’d be better if you just quit.”

“Why would I quit my job?”

Judging from his appearance, he looked like he was dressed and ready to leave. Instead, he leaned against the headboard. As if he was ready to have a proper chat.

“Or maybe we should get married while we’re at it.”

Although he said it in a monotonous tone, the essence of his words was by no means frivolous. The conversation that started with her quitting her job took a sharp turn and went far beyond her expectations, causing her to grow dazed. Ki Taeju gently pinched Euncho’s cheek.

“I can’t ignore it now that you’ve proposed to me.”

She proposed to him…?

No matter how she looked at it, he was definitely saying this about her. Euncho was momentarily taken aback.

“Me… to you? When?”

“You gave me your last cigarette.”

Blink, blink. She quickly sifted through her memories and suddenly remembered the events of a certain day.

‘Give me one.’

‘I’m sorry. This is my last one.’

‘Then I guess you can give that to me.’

As the memory became clearer, only a sense of shock remained.

“You’re the one who snatched it away from me.”

“Really? Then let’s just say I proposed to you.”

The conversation was taking a really strange turn.

But maybe it was because she felt good now that she could relax and stay home from work. Or maybe it was because it was Ki Taeju who was making these lame jokes.

Euncho pulled away and glanced down at his shirt and vest.

“Are you going to work?”

“I still need to go.”

Euncho fiddled with the neckline of his shirt as he answered her quite earnestly. Once again, he wasn’t wearing a tie today, so the shirt was unfastened and loose at the neck.

She wished he didn’t have to go to work today.

She wanted to stay like this a little longer.

Her head began to fill with these thoughts, but she didn’t say them out loud. Because she knew it was just her being stubborn. But maybe she was still too immature to hide it properly because Ki Taeju silently stared at her before letting out a chuckle.

“Your eyes are still the same.”

“Hm?”

“Eyes that weaken peoples’ resolve.”

Euncho raised her hand and traced her eyes out of curiosity.

“Are my eyes really like that?”

“Yeah.”

“Why does every man I meet say something like that?”

As soon as she absentmindedly muttered these words, Ki Taeju’s hand that had been caressing her knee froze.

“Really? What son of a bitch said that?”

“……”

“Just tell me their names.”

Tension stirred as his calm, low voice hung in the air.

“What are you going to do once you know their names…”

She must have reacted in a way that made it obvious she wasn’t going to tell him. Ki Taeju laughed and said nothing more. However, his vague attitude of brushing it off without giving her a clear answer only served to solidify her suspicions.

“Do my eyes really weaken your resolve?”

“Of course.”

“I don’t think it does.”

“I must be hiding it well.”

“Why are you hiding it? Don’t hide it…”

When she grumbled honestly, Ki Taeju smiled helplessly.

They continued to chatter away like this for a while.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

“I’ll be down soon.”

After he ended the short call, Euncho played with his hair as she asked.

“Why don’t you ever wear a tie?”

“Because I don’t know how to tie one.”

“…Really?”

“No.”

He laid her back down on the bed and sat up, laughing playfully. Euncho realized a moment later that he was teasing her and glared at him.

“D*mn it.”

She kicked her feet that were still wrapped up in the blanket. When her feet drew closer to his face, Ki Taeju snickered and grabbed her ankle. She kicked with such vigor that her pale feet eventually fell off the edge of bed. Ki Taeju gently placed her feet back inside the bed.

“I don’t wear one because it’s uncomfortable.”

As if to show that he didn’t like being strangled, he slightly lifted the neckline of his shirt. Euncho blankly stared at him before suddenly sitting up.

“Should I tie one for you?”

He raised a brow and sat down on the edge of the bed with a cool smile on his face as if telling her to give it a try.

Euncho threw off the heavy blanket and put on a robe that was draped across the sofa. Then she headed towards the gold-painted iron wardrobe on the other side of the bedroom.

When she opened the doors, she saw a tie hanging neatly inside. As she walked back to him with tie in hand, Ki Taeju naturally pulled Euncho by her waist and guided her between his legs.

She tucked the navy tie that matched the color of his vest under the lapel of his shirt.

“Is this right? I learned how to do it before…”

“From who?”

“I watched a video on the internet… Hm, hm.”

Euncho frowned and sighed as her fingers played around here and there. Fortunately, she still vaguely remembered how to do it, so after struggling for a while, she somehow managed to neatly tie the necktie around his neck.

“I did it!… Mmph!”

Like a tamed beast acting docile under the care of his keeper, Ki Taeju remained still while she tied the necktie. However, as soon as Euncho let out a shout of success, he grabbed the back of her neck and pressed his lips to hers without warning.

Something thick and wet surged in between her parted lips. His tongue flicked and rubbed along the soft, fleshy walls of her mouth, sending shivers up her spine.

He caught her squirming waist and deepend the kiss. Euncho panted as she barely managed to swallow the saliva that was being spread evenly throughout her mouth by his tongue.

Euncho’s palms that had been resting on his chest slowly moved up and grabbed his shoulder.

“Haa, what should I do? Fuck, I’m hard.”

When their lips pulled away for a moment, Ki Taeju whispered in a peculiar voice. Nothing in this world caused her spine to grow limp like his kiss. Ki Taeju frantically swallowed and sucked on her lower lip. Euncho whimpered as he grabbed her body and turned her around. 

“Th-That surprised me… Mmph.”

The hem of her robe that had been covering her thighs were pulled up, revealing her pale, milky thighs. Ki Taeju naturally rested his hand on top of them. Their lips merged back together, and their bodies tangled as if they were desperate to get closer to one another.

A small curse burst out of Ki Taeju’s mouth as he rubbed her tongue with his. It was because of the drawstring of her robe that kept his hand from touching her bare breast. The knot was loose, but no matter how much he pulled it, it wouldn’t come undone. He couldn’t take it any longer and ended up tearing it off.

Euncho didn’t have time to be shocked by this sudden display of strength. Her mind, which had been clear just a moment ago, was now filled with a foggy haze. This feeling was not unfamiliar to her.

It had always been like this with Ki Taeju.

For some reason, just making eye contact with him caused her to grow aroused. Her stomach would tingle and her lower abdomen would twitch…

“Haa, ha…”

Euncho presented her tongue to him as he sucked it completely into his mouth. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. When the drawstring of her robe came loose, Euncho’s legs finally found freedom. She spread her legs apart.

Anyone could tell from the bulge in his pants that he had a raging erection. He began to grind it against her entrance.

Her entrance was still swollen from yesterday’s activities. Still, the thought of experiencing that dizzying, addictive pleasure caused it to tremble and twitch with anticipation.

“Do you… have to go to work?”

Euncho reached down and stroked the thickness that surged up from under his pants.

Unfastening the button and unzipping his pants was easier than tying the tie. Instead of taking off his underwear, Euncho slipped her hand inside and caressed the head and the shaft, causing the corners of Ki Taeju’s mouth to twist viciously.

“You’ve become a full-fledged temptress.”

While his voice sounded like he was scolding her, the hasty kiss that followed told her that he was far from dissatisfied.

No, rather than feeling dissatisfied…

“Ki Taeju. Don’t go to work. Hnng… Ah!”

“And what if I don’t?”

He loudly sucked her round breast before releasing it. Then he pinched the nipple that was glistening with his saliva.

Euncho arched her hips, and the thrilling pleasure pierced through the area below her bellybutton. Her entrance that had been contracting and relaxing for a while now began to grow slick with lust. 

When she spread her legs wider and wrapped them around his hips, Ki Taeju began to move his hips rhythmically as he pounded against her.

Although his cock was still trapped inside his pants, she could still feel how hard and prominent it was. Just the pressure of his silhouette and girth against her entrance brought her a sweet surge of pleasure similar to that of masturbation.

“Huh? If I don’t go, should I play with you like this all day, fucking you out of your mind?”

“Y…Yeah, ah…!”

“What do you mean, ‘yeah’? F*ck.”

Even though he said this, his heart must not have felt the same. His patience seemed to have worn thin, and his hands frantically pulled down his briefs.

His penis popped out and found its place against Euncho’s entrance. It rubbed along the slit before slowly spreading her inner walls apart to penetrate her. Euncho raised her hips up into the air and closed her eyes.

Feels good…

The faint sunlight spilled into the room and poured down all around them.

Ultimately, Ki Taeju gave up going to work.

At first, she thought he had gone to work.

Euncho had fallen into a deep sleep once again after having another round of vigorous sex. When she finally woke up, she was alone in the bedroom, and it was already the middle of the day. She sat up, still half-asleep, as she covered herself with the blanket. Suddenly, the door opened, and Ki Taeju entered wearing only his pants.

“Huh? What happened?”

“What do you mean?”

“You didn’t go to work?”

“Have you forgotten already? Who’s the one who put her hands into the pants of the person who was about to go to work?”

Her memories flooded back a moment later, one by one.

‘Postpone the morning meeting by thirty minutes, no, an hour.’

Ki Taeju answered the phone in a rough voice as he was thrusting on top of her. Later on, he let go of the reins of his lust and didn’t even bother answering the incoming calls.

That’s right. I’m the one who held him back.

Euncho let out a raspy groan.

“Get up.”

“Whyyy?”

Euncho asked in a hoarse voice as Ki Taeju grabbed her arm to get her out of the bed.

“So we can eat.”

“Ah.”

“You haven’t eaten since yesterday. How come you haven’t said a word about being hungry?”

Because they were busy rolling around in the bedroom before eating dinner, she had skipped two or three meals.

Euncho slipped her arms into the robe that he draped over her shoulders and went out into the living room. He must have ordered room service because there was a cart with trays neatly placed on top of it.

“Ah, it hurts.”

 Euncho made an attempt to sit down in the chair he pulled out for her.

“Where?”

“Down there…”

Ki Taeju pulled back the hem of her neatly closed robe. Because he was sitting, her privates were now right in front of his nose. Her limbs stiffened due to the onslaught of shame.

Disregarding this, Ki Taeju nonchalantly pulled her labial lips apart and examined her entrance.

“Your clit is swollen.”

It would be strange if it wasn’t swollen after all the biting sucking from yesterday. He pulled the robe back down and sat her on his lap instead of the chair he had pulled out for her. It didn’t make much of a difference, but Euncho liked it when Ki Taeju took care of her, so she quietly relaxed against his chest.

She lifted the lid of the smooth, white porcelain bowl, and hot steam rose up into the air. It held galbitang¹.

The sight of the delicious food suddenly made her hungry.

Euncho picked up her spoon and took a sip of the soup. The warm broth seemed to penetrate deep into the pit of her stomach and melt away the layers of fatigue that had built up in her body. She reached for the soup with her spoon again.
