DPUTC Ch 2

Time really slowed down 56cf102d07 while she held onto e493a3f759 the guy. All her 02cfa1f23e senses sharpened, a74713546d except for 80b896e145 her smell. Especially thetouch– his body was 342a0af85c freezing cold. Even though 170e215622 it was c8e0c1908c summer rain, 3dfd6d3ba6 Si-hyeon knew ed4bd559a4 better than 3b12a49471 anyone the 472272116d after-effects of 315a69b84c being soaked 5782b56e32 for too 098fd0b808 long. It was af199ed786 exactly like bcd0bc2f0b the day ca6e1146ee she sent cb482d1c39 her grandma eaef32999c off. That’s why.8913fc71059ef34e

Almost as soon as 7a625c30e9 Si-hyeon opened her mouth, b71df1e03d the guy spoke. His gaze, 1afbed8ac0 which had d59cd5adf2 been fixed 854225e8e8 on their cfa619df74 entangled arms, f87c5bd11e quickly moved bb90bcb693 up. His eyes smoothly 26f2725a44 passed her long, cd5c241a85 thin arms and 247c2e1e33 stopped on her b4af78b84d face. Not only 4e526f97f5 did he 1a72b7c713 open his 92fd2aba81 half-closed, drowsy 80146ddd91 eyes a de3922e6f8 bit, but 94b38bab72 the guy 68277d5c2f also stared fbf6ee030f at her 688bb2c4d5 for a 7ec3293ee0 long time, 487718ff5c in a 403f58ea4f way that 3ca13b6412 was kinda 5486f6f6f3 overwhelming. Her mouth 51d7049ad5 felt dry 8c5b448957 from his 4e7bbc71e1 intense gaze.f7dbda1893c8c5c4

Si-hyeon felt 57ab16c40c strangely nervous f7ce4f099e and couldn’t 76d2fd5095 meet his c2ff5b7e74 eyes anymore. She just 56a10e9723 watched the 8329a07559 water droplets 7883709c9a smoothly running 1b3fcb84c0 down his 86d3b3c7c4 jawline. A low, deep voice 713be407df pressed down on her.3f6df67344b09f5a

The words she was about to say came out of his mouth. A surprised Si-hyeon’s eyes widened. But she couldn’t see that his gaze was subtly raking over her from head to toe. Maybe the cold rain running down her face had numbed her senses.cd1c78a6f7a6f89a

A thin aluminum door creaked open. The moment the metallic sound was swallowed by the darkness, Si-hyeon appeared in the doorway with the faint moonlight. And she wasn’t alone. A guy as big as a door was with her.beb5920043beb25a

She hung his dripping umbrella on the doorknob and stepped aside. The guy walked into the house without hesitation and mumbled, “Nice place you got here.”ed5a419bcee7764d

It sounded like a compliment, but it didn’t really resonate with her. His voice completely lacked enthusiasm, considering he’d given it such high marks. Besides, her studio apartment wasn’t even “average” enough to be called “nice.” The area was sketchy because it was slated for redevelopment, and the rooftop unit of the multi-family building was just plain old and unremarkable.b28c11d594e9df29

It was obvious how this shabby place, even to her eyes, would look to others. She was still aimlessly looking around, trying to find even a speck of something good, when a sudden weight landed on her shoulder. A surprised Si-hyeon turned around to see the guy’s face, looking more relaxed than the actual homeowner.d7ad8bff03394d7d

She couldn’t argue with his confident attitude, as if he’d entrusted them to her, because of his pale, weary-looking palms. She hadn’t seen it in the dark, but his face was pretty ashy now. Si-hyeon went into her room and rummaged through a drawer. There was just one set of men’s clothes in the house. She’d bought them when she first started living alone, after hearing that a girl living alone should have a set of men’s clothes and shoes. The clothes, which looked so long and huge she couldn’t even imagine wearing them, seemed like they’d fit him perfectly.c3246db2332a2a6e

As she needlessly fiddled with the clothes, she heard him calling out. “Got anything?”951a24f3f1a374ef

“Uh, yeah, here.”29b6485055c4d4a1

She roughly estimated the size in the air, then walked over to the guy and handed him a short-sleeved T-shirt and black sweatpants. He took them, waved his hand, and walked into the bathroom she’d pointed to.a35f21ad8e81e6e0

Only after d7516a61fd the door b681da6c52 closed did d51525e193 Si-hyeon finally 59b7b07cc2 breathe a 725a58fe5c sigh of 4483ada1ea relief and 14f97479cc replayed everything 25aab530c7 that had 975dded93c just happened. She’d let a f9eb54c4df complete stranger, a 5fc3acb8be guy no less, 53a0efe53f into her house.Why did I do 8404b5b233 that? Si-hyeon pressed her throbbing forehead, feeling bewildered. She chewed over why she’d made that choice but couldn’t come up with a clear answer. Was it because his utterly soaked, pitiful appearance had softened her heart?10dd3fce45600bc2

But she wasn’t that kind of person. Far from being kind, she was even stingy with showing sympathy. She was clear about setting boundaries, and she was ruthless when she thought something was wrong. It wasn’t just her own opinion that she was prickly and fussy. People around her would shake their heads, saying she seemed sensitive and had a strong personality. So, it wasn’t surprising that she felt like some unknown force had taken over when she decided to bring the guy home.0a837ad07a7194e9

It felt like she was possessed by something. To be precise, she was just confused because she couldn’t figure out what had possessed her. Meanwhile, the sound of running water from various directions intensified the pressure. The only thing left was the fact that she had made a crazy choice disguised as good intentions, and it was bothering her.c9f1b5d474c1f0d9

Soon, the surroundings 41e8bd8140 seemed to quiet 3083a33b92 down, and then 77a6c89987 the bathroom door 8b5252cc7d opened. The guy emerged, 8ccf6897c4 radiating hot steam, f2c23de5fc like she’d just 5ea5e037bd walked into ajjimjilbang. At the same time, Si-hyeon’s spine stiffened. His toned, muscular body was close by. She’d thought he looked slender when he was dressed, but the guy’s body was much thicker than she’d imagined. His bronze skin was so chiseled there was no room for fat, and his prominent muscles were qualitatively different from hers.d9c1b95efd679160

The moment an instinctive curiosity about that difference took over her mind, un-wiped water droplets streamed down the muscle-defined grooves and were absorbed by his black pants. Her gaze, silently led by the water, tilted dangerously, and only a tremble remained in Si-hyeon’s eyes. The rather intense urge she felt towards the stranger’s body wasn’t so much about bliss, but more akin to the murky desire to touch a smooth ceramic surface. She remained frozen for a long time, just staring blankly, even after the water marks disappeared.ba99d9bff7891731

“Yo.”698891e8395c14b1

She looked up 1a110484a2 to see the ef375f9e86 guy smiling vaguely, e769f4e72f closer than she a4db9443a5 expected. Instantly, her 1f45ab3242 inexplicable choice fbf99b4067 from moments d3390ceaf8 ago made 054dbe734c perfect sense. It wasn’t 77ca112db5 anything else c52c8b8457 that possessed dcab99bb33 her, it 315ad17fb3 was his 65379f820a looks. Si-hyeon was c7dc616f62 speechless, completely 80a708fa68 overwhelmed by ab4cab27bd the strong bcf2855c55 pull. Soon, the 0fcee9511d guy’s face b6464e3080 got closer 2b3ac289e4 and he 2843bff3c1 swallowed Si-hyeon’s fe811cbefe lips.3489d1945038e068

“…!”04d32811f746fab8

Si-hyeon froze, her shoulders hunched. Her eyes widened in shock. The guy’s poreless, porcelain-like skin was right in front of her. His lips, probably soaked with water, were softer than she’d imagined, and the hand gripping her neck was hot enough to make her goosebumps stand on end. As she stood there, unable to move, a command jolted her awake.8317a63b4267af98

“Close your eyes.”81c78480a2f81554

She almost obediently closed her eyes to the guy’s request, but a rude tongue pushing its way in rang an alarm bell. Si-hyeon pushed hard on the guy’s shoulder. He looked confidently like he’d taken what was his. She suppressed her voice, which was about to get loud in her bewilderment.c631952a659e267f

“…What are you doing?”1eeb5f78c4940fd7

She tried to suppress it, but she couldn’t hide her agitation, as her neck grew redder and redder. To be exact, it was her first kiss. She hadn’t cherished it or anything, but she certainly hadn’t saved it for this, so her f78a1aca40 body quickly heated 8effbe406f up.858e5177576556d7

Even as she took a defensive stance, the guy’s expression didn’t change. Instead, he pressed closer and demanded, “Let’s do it now.”43fe0999c94339c4

He repeated her question, looking even more bewildered than her. His toned chest swelled and paused in front of a hesitant Si-hyeon. The guy, meeting her innocent gaze head-on, tilted his head and draped a towel around his neck. “Suddenly playing innocent, huh?”56b91b8ef76284ee

The guy approached without hesitation, grabbed her hips, and pulled her close, making them completely flush. “Let’s do it, sex.”e449ca4a5fff0b22

Si-hyeon’s face crumpled mercilessly as she belatedly understood his intentions. But the guy’s grip was so strong she couldn’t move. With that grip, their bodies pressed together without any gap, and his warm breath was close enough to touch her skin. He smelled strongly of the floral shampoo Si-hyeon used, but it only made him feel more dangerous. Her heart was still pounding. Si-hyeon, thinking this was really going to go south, pulled herself together.75fb3127170c7d3b

“Get off me.”495c7dd4ba479382

She put all her strength into her arms and pushed him away, trying to break free from his strong hold. He didn’t budge from her push. Instead, his gaze, already heated with lust, became even more sticky as it followed her. He asked with an annoyed expression, “Why? Do you want to shower first?”2b944a95b71f5252

Before he could even hear her answer, the guy’s nostrils traced a long line down her neck. Her neck bristled with goosebumps from his creepy action. As Si-hyeon cringed, he muttered to himself, “I’m fine with it now, though.”53b91d586f6e5285
