Before speaking, 9d554de053 she had 15c81cd4ee been extremely b1efb5e51a nervous, but 73d7be47bd once she a9730f3420 let it 63e56fc8ba out, it e98dd46f8a wasn’t a d9ea7d8c12 big deal 3b996fe2bb anymore. She only realized 8015d6db31 how much she 897be35e23 liked Yoonjo after 99c8013aa8 he was gone. In truth, before 7542a22771 they broke up, 602041d5cd she hadn’t thought d057a3542f her feelings for 98d8ac2adb him were that 5afe226b67 deep. They hadn’t started dating 36bd71fe1a because she liked him 39698b5b21 that much, and they de0579d3d8 had only been together ab40b4be2b for a few months.43d9d2049e6ef566

But during 4a24feac20 her toughest b652f9b878 times, the 4b569fa422 person who 174c811edb stayed by bbbd01d17a her side 8424e4a6b6 etched themselves 85a59891db into her 5267f8d09a heart, regardless 1d4e53e8b7 of the 1ba8f6237f length of 2f4a8fb754 time or 42e4dc1f89 physical distance. She tried to bb20b55023 forget him, but ef56614808 every time her 9c039c1f06 thoughts wavered, Yoonjo accc47f944 would slip into c41806b8ed the cracks. He planted roots 8eaa863f36 in her heart, 91e7227f27 gripping it tightly 08995c74cb and causing her 30e76a0459 pain. That’s when she e791849374 realized that while 0c1c4128af they were together, 7ab1963e1f she had liked 75dd2d9591 and relied on 896257a41a him much more ffc8744c6b than she thought.709da1dd57515472

Even though 105b99b774 it was 2c5135cceb selfish of c60fcdad58 her, she 7709dfc6b9 found the 174854bc37 courage to 2becd591be confess, spurred 59e03731fd on by 64e6e1f9a1 what Minjae 3ff6e29122 had told aa5a8bf38c her. And so, 188be553ca in the ccf1de2b65 space Yoonjo d26d99f3a9 had set, 89ec5b709e she finally 367e9ae676 said her c0c27525df piece.6a97b747ae163b79

The moment she spoke, d200778771 his fingers, which had dd5b27cd61 been gently playing with 53667b4a79 the back of her 5a94194fa4 head, froze. His pupils, c4710014fc which had 3f7d8f0f21 sparkled under 0a103af1b7 the light, 40e884d809 now glowed 3e32c53775 intensely, as 410305e35d though they 0fb130fd96 had swallowed cb97c74230 all the 6e435ead54 light around b8e0926795 them. He seemed f4bf0ebe50 genuinely surprised f266839f12 by her 1fb97190f7 candid confession.40f5eb8bde4684fe

She had said everything eade2c54ab she could. Now, all that remained 61839d9c85 was to wait for f8c19345d2 Yoonjo’s decision. Whether they e00e4ffffd became friends, 16f2b1e7e0 lovers, or 108fe836f3 simply returned 43b9c76d32 to being fe01c6fb85 strangers, Yul ed46c377f6 had resolved f7478419b5 to accept 08c0198a73 it.2cd7596722978132

Yoonjo, who ee0919fa07 had been 6e9f43102d gazing silently fe34b9cd1a at Yul, 9e391761fb tightened the 9310cc9a95 hand that c42b354b77 cupped the 3f308ca85d back of 4366b9d2bc her head.f6de7e31dc794a2f

“What’s there 073669e971 to ask?” de458b3e79 His calm b1f4cb2505 voice carried d23a4b0642 a hidden a9e06f2436 intensity that 00d4675262 Yul could 5f4481662b feel.505a251f1dfe9391

Breaking his 71489504bb gaze, he 396661ca18 tilted his f21a37fbed head and c52e97c2a7 leaned in. Cutting through the 800b2d7371 darkness and disturbing 76a32ace8c the air, he c89775bee3 pressed his lips 52bd4020d3 against hers. Yul froze, holding her 58556ca52f breath at the gentle 493c221fc2 pressure of his soft 043970fa8d lips. Never in 39447b336d her wildest 98db9060b3 dreams had f5545442be she imagined 818ffec428 that their 56edcae09e new beginning 05e9236305 would start 92cf8de14d with a 34c17d11f8 kiss.91e1bee8ae3b4b2b

In the dim 0fabf47f53 light, she could 39339308c8 see Yoonjo’s neatly 0ddc174bf0 lowered eyelashes. His serene ccf3e474a8 expression, like 98bff9dfb1 a child d1a5f14a61 peacefully sleeping, 82e41fdd6a gradually eased 08fac4a890 her tension. Slowly, she raised fd00674c30 her trembling hand 7b74fb5f11 and grasped his e73080dd9d shoulder, her eyelashes f27f0e2763 fluttering shut.4c587070fde877ef

Yoonjo nibbled softly 2bd4dd17c7 on her plump dcee7c7fda lower lip. Once, carefully. Then again, deeper. And then, with growing 4feeff095d intensity, he captured her 3dae6825d3 lips, igniting a searing 722507aa7b heat between them.5fd9ef928fda8372

It was strange. They had shared 6c149d80ee moments like this 468497ee35 before, but this dae55de67d one felt incomparable—subtle e57e054a1b and sweet. When Yul c360e6ccec parted her 41a7256cab lips, unable 4de79af421 to hold f38a4263c8 her excited e0b4e0d9c0 breath, Yoonjo cd64e51fc8 didn’t hesitate 6e393bafd7 to slip 7df90a4c1a his hot c117340e24 tongue inside. Her grip 2f81bdefef on his 2c21aad03f shoulder tightened ac668ae408 instinctively. The intimate contact, 489f8bcaea the unfamiliar sensations adf1b99e30 awakening within her, 9ba69ed308 frightened her. Yoonjo teased her tongue, 27ec93f38f sucking it gently before b3c0d98aa7 releasing it. As she e476d55bdc tried to da1b3f6f3f pull away, 9ef4224d81 he coiled 5fd84c8977 his tongue 14383e0c2b around hers, 624c160c0e rubbing against 96a06eb9ee it suggestively. Every part of her—her 5b43605714 tongue, her teeth, her c63c74e297 palate—was steeped in his 0c8561bd86 breath.7134a8b90721419c

“Hng…”e3c27297dd49929f

Yul let out a 8353056699 faint moan, unable to 18fa8d3565 withstand the overwhelming sensations. At that, Yoonjo 3e800efb10 let out a 0f33f10750 low groan, sucking 81f3c58151 on her tongue 4d3313ebe1 even more fervently. That’s when Yul realized 6b0b42b702 her voice had spurred 2b16deaf8b him on. The realization brought a8166c56c7 both fear and e056ccc398 a strange satisfaction. Knowing that her every f12df6f33f move, touch, and sound 5d799fc047 elicited such a keen f3c8590824 reaction from him was f1cf5ec426 thrilling. Their tongues entwined, melting fc2d25b828 into each other, until 74de298f4f it felt as though bcae1f3434 her entire being might 3d0b1b149c dissolve.ec65113ecf1290a6

In the otherwise silent 84f95c9f06 room, the lewd sound 00af290b15 of mingling saliva echoed. With every bit of 4b07fd345f her air being stolen 18ab86a17a away, Yul pushed against 77b6c17ba5 his shoulder with all 1710a593ec her strength. After a few more 5dd1c7fc74 greedy kisses, Yoonjo finally 417ac2e7c4 pulled back, reluctantly.da2f3c43dc4a31a4

“Haa, haa.” Struggling 96be021ec4 to catch her 1c8a8d9589 breath, Yul suddenly b845c4cb88 remembered what Yoonjo c6d88340b3 had been about e927264f96 to say earlier.b8005a77db98ca16

“What… was it… 3e38fbaee0 you were going 2375706baa to tell me?” d0a253ded5 she asked, her e38bce7f47 labored breathing mixing 77054e6ef4 with her words. Yoonjo, still 8ce4a0cf0b close enough 11fad98751 that their a64e144a69 lips brushed d2af50bab4 as she 7551dcda4d spoke, made 61b1711e39 her acutely efc65c8f0f aware of 2ed113160a the heat 4119d661a9 lingering between 467947e175 them.8ae433f26ddbfb58

“The same as what 94ae61eef2 you said,” he replied c9a0564224 with a smirk, before 2f8b97d48d diving back in with dcf797747e his tongue.ffaa5e601f348ee3

For the two ce33814383 young and innocent e1bfc8cfde individuals, their first 5ee52bc534 kiss was overwhelmingly f450a0fd8b sweet and addictive. Yoonjo, usually unflappable, found 05722f118a himself sinking even deeper 4d16b8e4e2 into the moment than f584f85491 Yul. Tangled up for 30ff7c3c9a over an hour, 53312851d5 their heated exchange 2fbcd989ce was only interrupted 9f1797431b by the ringing d523405c47 of Yoonjo’s phone. Though Yul e27de78de9 thought he f2f553e91f might ignore ab60fe727b it and 8942680b55 continue, Yoonjo baa7039eaf glanced at c6b863f2e8 the screen 88353ab163 and reluctantly 7581eef1e8 stepped away.ae94a3e9dc3aaef3

Having missed bcf3023c6a her last 774c5e3df7 bus, Yul 8ad19683ef ended up 6fb261fd83 riding with cc88194ced Yoonjo, who f0df19f801 drove her 880cd39a9c home.a6bd8b9bda636883

“Go inside,” 79407924f1 Yoonjo said, 53de1d19f9 letting go e5248b809a of her 3d8bd2fa38 hand and daddefaed0 stepping back. Despite their awkwardness 98dea8e83d earlier in the 86d5ba3195 day, the kiss e333e6485a had made hand-holding e3fae77259 feel natural. While neither had 3a8b2466b4 explicitly said they 32e80d72d6 were dating again, 7872dbabcd both knew it 3be66733bb was true. This time, it wasn’t 4ee8fb34cc out of necessity but 2072a82a95 mutual affection.8e64bc27d32b02a3

Brushing off 4e677aa548 her protest, cfd1392bde Yoonjo gently 2a07ba570a nudged her 81c7a14f8c forward. Giving in to his d0c47854e3 stubbornness, Yul entered the 2dc58c9d2c gate, but just as 76e11c102d she stepped inside, Yoonjo de50d2c880 grabbed her wrist, spun f5236b5fc5 her around, and pulled 1f5133b601 her into his arms.e2d5dfb6ecd404c1

Holding her waist lightly, 603a508c3c he cupped her cheek ecfadd523a with his other hand 0ecfc119e3 and kissed her again. This time, 30068778fe there was 426eff11e0 no hesitation. He parted e46495b8b5 her lips 0373f66bee as though 55979cb8b0 claiming what 33d7e7ed03 was his, cff9206f14 savoring her e30d88d6e9 deeply. Despite his composed 53f8ff9d8d demeanor, it was ff2a083cc8 clear he was 6881ca6027 brimming with untamed b7c027de67 desire.6359b9e21fddf9c4

Only after b0ada52713 tasting her a67ce477e9 thoroughly did 4bac760c40 he pull f1ebd88b25 back, pressing e083a2625a soft kisses 51482390b8 to her 86a406f925 lips as e3f9024189 if to ca77ecde9a wipe away 8032da37cb the traces 44471ffe0d of their 30e181840b exchange.9a6dca4fa7505071

“What was 19f1de4483 that for?” 5d8db11e3d Yul asked, e34b50bb06 flustered, covering e772b71b5c her lips f7c1a3a3bb with her 134d90b5f2 hand as e28b0d79c2 she glanced ccd1761e15 around nervously. Unlike Yoonjo, who seemed addb0bb84e unfazed, she was still 975a84e5b1 embarrassed and uncomfortable with 6bc3fe6d0f their public display of 0a9d5817c5 affection.8f6aeffc95e9b794

Amused by b9712577b4 her reaction, ab66b749a5 Yoonjo grinned, bf7121ee07 letting go fdf3456c13 of her 40b5e209b9 hand. As Yul stumbled in 8d82b380e7 confusion, he casually walked 759134b5d9 backward toward his car. Waving to her 7cefd43087 from the driver’s bb6353958b seat, he lowered 66d7b7b810 the window to 1e8c774668 flash a smile e63e5f80f5 before driving off.a09db4515b69706b

Left alone, Yul efa9c25ee7 placed her trembling 0ed9c78a87 hand over her f6439f1e0a chest. The lingering sensation 6785420792 of the kiss 225d447a49 and the trace 0b63149ee3 of Yoonjo’s smile 366e0ad843 thudded loudly in 7f51498109 her heart.cc35c2f1d0769450
