TIOM Ch 1.1

“So, you’re Woosuk’s cousin?”

 

Dohyung’s lips curved gently.

 

In that instant, the word “destiny” flashed through Dohyung’s mind. He understood in less than a second what his friends had been hinting at all along with the phrase “the woman you’re going to marry.”

 

The thought that he couldn’t be with anyone but the woman in front of him didn’t just graze his mind; it sent shivers down his entire body.

 

It was like…

 

The same feeling he had a few days ago when he was shoving his dick into this woman’s body.

 

“I heard you look a lot like Woosuk, but your vibe is completely different.”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

The woman’s face turned as white as a sheet in an instant.

 

Seeing her pale face, devoid of any color, Dohyung blamed himself for his mistake. The thing relatives hated most was being told they looked alike.

 

“You’re pretty.”

 

“…..”

 

“I’ve thought so since the first time I met you.”

 

Ah, was he being too hasty?

 

This was practically screaming that he was crazy about her. But it was the truth, so what could he do?

 

“I never dreamed you’d change your number.”

 

“Well, that’s…”

 

“I understand. It happens.”

 

Dohyung nodded generously.

 

He had spent the night with her and gotten her number the next morning. Being the meticulous person he was, Dohyung had even called the number she gave him right then and there.

 

But he didn’t know then. He never imagined that the woman he had parted ways with, promising to see her again, would change her number in less than an hour.

 

“If you don’t want to cut ties with Woosuk, it seems like I have to take responsibility for Eunbin.”

 

“I, that’s…”

 

“We slept together; I can’t just pretend I don’t know you. It’s not like we’ll never see each other again.”

 

The woman’s face flushed instantly.

 

She was clearly recalling the night they had spent together as well.

 

Yeah, she was trembling because she liked it just as much as I did.

 

Even though almost a week had passed, it was as vivid as if it had happened just seconds ago. That’s how incredibly good the night he had spent rolling around with her had been.

 

“We’ll run into each other at family events. Ah, but we must have bumped into each other a few times before; I don’t know why I don’t remember.”

 

“…..”

 

“It’s strange; I have an amazing memory for faces.”

 

As Dohyung tilted his head, the woman’s large eyes darted around anxiously.

 

What was going on?

 

Dohyung looked at her with a questioning gaze. She looked like she was about to cry. It seemed like if he just poked her with his finger, she would immediately start shedding tears, drop, drop.

 

Ha, goddamn it.

 

Imagining her crying with that face suddenly made the front of his pants swell up.

 

What a pervert.

 

The fact that he was getting turned on even in this situation clearly meant he was completely smitten with this woman.

 

“I’m really sorry, but…”

 

“Speak comfortably.”

 

Dohyung nodded, showing the palm of his right hand. It was a gesture to tell her not to feel pressured and to say whatever she wanted.

 

He even gave her a generous smile, implying that he would listen to whatever she had to say.

 

“I’m sorry, but…”

 

As if making a big decision, the woman bit her lower lip and then released it.

 

“You’re not my type.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“…I don’t like you.”

 

Dohyung looked up at the woman, who was getting up from her seat, with a bewildered expression.

 

Was there something wrong with his hearing?

 

The woman said he wasn’t her type, that she didn’t like him. It felt like he had been hit hard on the back of the head with something. Before he could even gather his dazed senses, the woman wrapped up the situation.

 

“I’ll explain everything to Woosuk oppa.”

 

She bowed her head and quickly left the room.

 

Left alone, Dohyung let out a hollow laugh.

 

Was he being rejected?

 

Why?

 

Dohyung ran his hand over his dry face.

 

If today was their first meeting, he could understand the woman’s rejection. Or rather, he could pretend to understand. But he and the woman were already acquainted. They had even had sparks flying between them from their very first encounter.

 

They had kissed, and naturally, they had gone to bed and mingled bodies. Not just mingled, but they had both gone all the way several times.

 

If the sex had been lackluster, he would have understood. But that wasn’t the case.

 

The woman’s dazed face at the peak of ecstasy came to mind as clearly as a masterpiece.

 

She had soaked his dick so much that she had practically squirted, and now she was saying he wasn’t her type, that she didn’t like him?

 

He couldn’t understand the woman’s rejection.

 

“She’s probably acting like this because she’s surprised and flustered.”

 

How absurd this situation must be.

 

The person she was set up with by her cousin was the man she had a one-night stand with.

 

Half embarrassment, half worry about what to say to her cousin. So she must have decided to reject him first.

 

Dohyung came to that conclusion and got up from his seat.

 

He already knew her changed number, so he could just text her later to ask if she got home safe and tell her not to worry too much.

 

As he got up from his seat, he saw a pretty umbrella on the floor. It was the umbrella the woman had brought with her.

 

Looking at the umbrella soaked with rainwater, the woman’s face, wet with excitement from the previous night, came to mind again.

 

Her beautiful face, panting beneath him.

The project that had tormented Dohyung day and night for a full four months had finally come to an end.

 

He attended the dinner party for the TF team he had assembled for the project, handed out bonuses, and got into the car that was waiting in front of the bar. But suddenly, an unfamiliar woman opened the back door. Seeing the woman trying to get into the car, Dohyung instinctively moved to the passenger seat.

 

“I just got into a taxi.”

 

The woman was on the phone with someone.

 

“We’ve been distant for months. You said you were busy with work. You said you were working overtime with your boss every day, so I just assumed… Ha…”

 

The woman rested her forehead on her hand and leaned her head against the headrest.

 

The driver, startled by the intrusion, turned his head. Dohyung brought his index finger to the center of his lips and slowly shook his head. It was a signal not to interfere.

 

At his superior’s signal, the driver immediately got out of the car.

 

He hadn’t meant for him to get out completely. Of course, he had been contemplating whether or not to give that order a few seconds later.

 

“Who would have suspected? That you and your boss were having an affair.”

 

He wasn’t interested in other people’s private lives, but the words the woman was uttering piqued his interest.

 

It seemed like her boyfriend was cheating on her. With a coworker, no less. So what next?

 

“When you asked me to understand, I thought you were filming some kind of heart-wrenching romance. I thought you must have fallen in love while working with your boss. I thought it could happen. But…”

 

But?

 

The woman sniffled as if overcome with emotion. Then she let out a hollow laugh.

 

“You came in with a guy who looked like a cow thief. You begged me not to tell anyone at work that you were sorry… That’s when I realized. The boss Shin Cheolwoong was seeing was this old man sitting in front of me.”

 

The woman sighed repeatedly between her words.

 

“No wonder you kept talking about premarital purity and only held hands. When you told me that’s what you did even on trips, you said, ‘Isn’t there something wrong with him?’ I should have suspected it back then instead of ignoring it… I’m such an idiot.”

 

From what he heard, it seemed like the man had deliberately hidden his sexual orientation.

 

The bad guy was that bastard, but the woman kept blaming herself. Tears were welling up in her eyes.

 

He should be feeling sorry for her, but suddenly his groin throbbed.

 

His pants swelled up as if he had a fetish for crying women.

 

“I regret the time I’ve spent with you since I was twenty. Hey, why are you cursing so much? I know, I know, stop it. I’m scared someone will hear you, seriously. I’m the one who’s most upset right now.”

 

The woman’s sighs had now turned into sobs.

 

The moment he saw the tears flowing down her white cheeks, Dohyung’s groin throbbed so much that it hurt.

 

Gu Dohyung, who usually had an exceptional level of self-control, was getting a hard-on for a woman he had just met.

 

Dohyung clenched his jaw.

 

He tried to calm down somehow, but his dick, which was growing against his will, felt like it was about to burst.

 

“Is it true that men are just animals who enjoy getting horny, like you said?”

 

Well, it’s not a hobby, but… Dohyung muttered quietly.

 

“I can’t stand this injustice. I’m going to go to a club or somewhere right now and sleep with the first guy I meet. What’s the point of cherishing a body that’s going to rot when I die anyway? I cherished it, and now look what happened… Kyaa!”

 

The woman’s pupils widened to a pitiful extent as she turned her head.
