By Zephyria I was startled when Sung Se-han’s name appeared on my phone screen, which was lying on the desk. I jumped up and hurriedly grabbed my phone, but my fingers kept losing strength.
“Tae-kyung, I’ll head to the practice room first.”
“Ah, yes…!”
I couldn’t wait for Gun-woo Hyung to leave the conference room and answered the phone right away.
“Yes, Sung Se-han…!”
Gun-woo Hyung glanced back at me, waved, and closed the door.
—Are you in the practice room? Did you have lunch?
Sung Se-han’s voice was shaky, as if he was going somewhere in a hurry. I turned around and looked at the June sunlight pouring through the window.
“I’m in the conference room. I had lunch.”
—Hahaha.
It wasn’t a funny answer, but Sung Se-han let out a cheerful laugh.
—Did you see the music video?
“Um, I don’t want to talk about that on the phone.”
Sung Se-han paused for a moment and then sighed as if he was disappointed.
—It looks like it’ll be past 8 PM before I finish all the interviews scheduled for today.
I became anxious, worried that he might suggest meeting tomorrow if his schedule was delayed. I pressed my finger on the desk, then finally decided to be stubborn.
“It’s okay if it’s late. I definitely want to see you today.”
—I was planning to see you too. Sometime today.
I covered my mouth with one hand, afraid that my breathing would be too loud.
—I’ll send a car to the company at 7 PM.
“Okay… Don’t skip meals, even if you’re busy.”
After ending the call, I ran to the practice room. It was still a long time until 7 PM, but I was too impatient to walk slowly.
From 20 minutes before the appointed time, I was waiting in front of the company for the car Sung Se-han had sent.
Perhaps because it was in front of a wide road, I felt a passing female student glancing at me even though I was wearing a Ball Cap pulled low.
But I couldn’t take my eyes off my phone for a moment, as I was looking up the music charts and reactions to Sung Se-han’s solo song, “Looking Back.”
I had worried that it might be less popular than “I’ll Wait Until 2 AM,” but on the contrary, it had entered the music charts at number one, and the fans’ reactions were explosive.
“Lee Tae-kyung.”
“…!”
I must have been too focused on my phone to notice the car arriving. I was startled by the voice calling my name and ran over.
“Vice Manager! Hello?”
I was so happy to see the Vice Manager who had come to pick me up that I greeted him loudly. The Vice Manager raised one eyebrow and nodded.
“Yes, hello.”
I thought I should refrain from being too friendly, as it might be burdensome for him. I quickly got into the passenger seat and greeted him again.
“I didn’t expect the Vice Manager to come himself. Thank you so much!”
“I don’t have much to do with my salary, so I have to do things like this.”
“Pfft!”
I burst out laughing and hurriedly covered my mouth, but the Vice Manager’s expression had already hardened.
“I’m sorry. You just reminded me of someone who looks like the Vice Manager….”
The Vice Manager, who kept his eyes straight ahead, didn’t say a word until we arrived at Sung Se-han’s apartment.
Sung Se-han’s apartment.
I never imagined I would be able to come here again. As I followed the Vice Manager through the front door, I felt a lump in my throat.
“This is the living room. That’s the kitchen over there, and I’ve filled the refrigerator, so feel free to take anything out while you wait.”
“Yes, thank you!”
While I was greeting the Vice Manager, my eyes were busy looking around the house.
Sung Se-han’s house was the same as before. That sofa, the jar decoration, the curtains… A wave of longing washed over me, and my throat tingled.
“Se-han might be a little late. Well, see you next time.”
I followed the Vice Manager, who waved and turned around, to the front door and bowed.
“Thank you for today, Vice Manager. See you next time!”
Click. The door closed before I could even lift my back. I stood there blankly for a moment, then ran back to the living room.
“Ah, good!”
I stood in the middle of the living room and spread my arms wide, inhaling the faint lingering scent of cologne. It was definitely Sung Se-han’s scent.
Then I turned around and ran to the bedroom. I opened the door to check if Sung Se-han’s bedroom was the same, and then ran to the sub-room and the study, taking in everything with my own eyes to see if anything had changed.
“Perfect.”
My heart was fluttering, and the corners of my lips were constantly lifting, and laughter kept escaping.
“Wow! This isn’t a dream, is it… Huh?”
Beep. Beep. Beep. I hurriedly closed the study door and ran out at the sound of the front door opening. He definitely said he would be late. Could it be already…?
“Sung Se-han!”
It really was Sung Se-han. He had already taken off his shoes and was entering the foyer.
“I thought you’d be late….”
The moment I saw Sung Se-han, who was wearing black pants and a burgundy shirt on his well-built body, I couldn’t approach him and stopped in my tracks.
Perhaps because it was the first time I had seen him dressed in such a masculine way, I felt disoriented, as if I were looking at a stranger.
“How are you already here…?”
A long arm suddenly reached out to me as I hesitated, unable to approach. In a moment of pause, Sung Se-han took the Ball Cap off my head.
“Seriously, I thought I was going to die from missing you.”
While I was busy fixing my disheveled hair, a large hand simultaneously covered the back of my neck and my cheek.
Relying on that hand, I looked up at Sung Se-han, but I couldn’t meet his eyes because of his blatant gaze that scanned me.
“Don’t wear this shirt anymore. Seriously… you look like a playboy.”
I fiddled with Sung Se-han’s shirt for no reason, making small talk. Because I wanted to breathe, even for a moment.
“You don’t like it?”
Sung Se-han, who tilted his head to the side, looked at me with narrowed eyes. I took a step back at the smile that made him seem like a villain.
“It’s not that….”
Sung Se-han, who grabbed my wrist as I stepped back, immediately placed my hand on his chest. As if telling me to touch it quickly. My fingers curled up because of the firm chest muscles that I could feel through the thin shirt.
“Sung Se-han…! I have something to tell you….”
I had waited all day and anxiously rushed here because I definitely had something to say to Sung Se-han. But as my mind became increasingly numb, I couldn’t think of anything.
“I’m listening. Tell me anything.”
Sung Se-han intentionally put his lips to my ear and whispered. The moment his hot breath covered the back of my neck, I had difficulty breathing, and rough breaths poured out of my mouth.
“So, I… Ah!”
I was startled when a hot hand suddenly reached into my T-shirt, and I pushed Sung Se-han’s hand away. But Sung Se-han, who grabbed the T-shirt in one hand, pulled it all the way up to my chin.
“Wait…!”
I kept stepping back and was soon blocked by a cold wall. Sung Se-han pinned me against the wall and ran his eyes over my bare chest.
“How can a person’s body be so beautiful?”
Sung Se-han’s lips curled up as if he was satisfied with my chest, which was rising and falling rapidly because I couldn’t breathe well.
“Don’t show it to anyone else from now on.”
His persistent brown eyes made me even more breathless. I couldn’t take it anymore and pushed away the hand holding my T-shirt.
“So listen to me. Sung Se-han, I’m not with anyone but you… Ah!”
Just as Sung Se-han tilted his head, he bit my Nipple. A groan burst out, and I hurriedly covered my mouth, but it was no use.
“Hng, euht! Euheung…!”
I could vividly feel the sensation of his rough tongue pressing on my Nipple and rolling it around. Even though I hunched my shoulders and clenched my teeth, groans continued to leak out.
“Ah, hot. Euht…!”
Sung Se-han, who had been sucking on my areola, bit down hard on my Nipple. I shuddered and couldn’t bear it, so I pushed his thick shoulder.
“Ah, it hurts! Stop…!”
“You don’t like it? Should I stop?”
Sung Se-han, who lifted his face, asked me with glistening lips. Even with those fierce eyes, holding my T-shirt, and forcibly pushing me against the wall, he was pretending to ask for my opinion.
I still don’t know how to appease Sung Se-han at times like this.
“It’s not that I don’t like it… I just want to talk first.”
“Okay. Talk.”
“Ah, Sung Se-han! Wait…!”
Sung Se-han easily unbuttoned my slacks with one hand. Before the slacks could even fall to my ankles, his rough hand pulled down my briefs, leaving me no time to breathe.
“I understand. We’ll talk later….”
It didn’t make me feel any less ashamed to cover my front by pulling down my T-shirt. But I desperately tried to manage my expression.
“If you’re going to do it, let’s go to the bed. Not here….”
“I don’t want to go to the bed.”
What…? What does that… The moment my mouth opened stupidly, Sung Se-han’s tongue invaded. I pushed his face away with both hands, but Sung Se-han grabbed my chin and tilted his head back, forcibly opening my mouth. Then he pushed his tongue in and began to suck on the inside of my mouth. While he was sucking all the saliva and sucking every corner of my tongue and throat, I could only helplessly shake my waist.
“Ah, haa…!”
It was only when I could hardly breathe that his lips finally broke away. But before I could even catch my breath, Sung Se-han’s hands lifted my body into the air.
“Ah, hey! Put me down…!”
In the past, Sung Se-han had carried me to the bedroom, holding my butt like a baby. Of course, I wasn’t naked like I am now back then.
