By Zephyria “Where do you want to go?”
Tae-jun asked, sounding intrigued. Up until now, the two had discussed their honeymoon destination at length, but they hadn’t reached a clear conclusion. But now that Yumin suddenly said she had a place in mind, he couldn’t help but be curious.
Yumin grinned and replied.
“Where do you think it is?”
“Hmm? I don’t know.”
“Guess.”
“Hmm…”
Tae-jun mentioned a few potential destinations that came to mind. But Yumin shook her head, saying no to each one.
“No. But if you think about it carefully, you’ll know.”
“I don’t know. Any hints?”
“If I give you a hint, you’ll guess it right away, and that won’t be fun.”
Go Seong-min, who had been watching Tae-jun and Yumin, chimed in.
“You two live quite amusingly.”
“Really? Thank you.”
Although it was a sarcastic remark, Yumin didn’t notice and just smiled brightly. Go Seong-min, dumbfounded, scowled at Hyeon-seok. Hyeon-seok, finding Go Seong-min adorable, simply stroked her hair.
Even in the car on the way home, the riddle of guessing the honeymoon destination continued. The places Tae-jun listed could have filled a world map. Yet, Yumin rejected them all.
“If it’s like this, how will we ever go?”
“How about this? You prepare it secretly without me knowing. And keep it a secret until the day we go on our honeymoon.”
“Keep it a secret?”
“Yes. Like a surprise event.”
Tae-jun burst into laughter, dumbfounded. What kind of person prepares a honeymoon in secret?
“Why would you do that?”
“Because it’s fun. It gives me something to look forward to, too.”
Yumin was sometimes this whimsical. But if asked if she disliked that about herself, the answer was no. It was good because there was never a dull moment.
“Alright. Let’s do that.”
“Really?”
“Have you ever seen me say something I didn’t mean?”
“I’m so excited.”
Yumin even wriggled with joy. She was like a child in front of a gift box. Until the box is opened, one anticipates and feels excited about what might be inside.
There might be a gift you like, but there might also be a surprising item you never expected. Yumin wanted to enjoy that sense of anticipation.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the wedding day dawned.
For Yumin, who had to wake up at 4 AM to change and prepare for everything, the feeling was more overwhelming than joyful or exciting. The wedding hall, which had taken over an entire luxury hotel in the heart of Seoul, was dazzlingly magnificent.
The elders of the wildcat clan, who had come up from Yanggo Village, were making a fuss about entering the groom’s waiting room to see Yumin. Dressed in a pristine white tuxedo and with her hair neatly styled, Yumin was undeniably adorable. While guests rushed to take photos of Yumin with their phones, Tae-jun had to stay outside. This was due to the tiger clan elders’ decree that seeing the bride beforehand would bring bad luck.
At first, he had many complaints. He even scoffed, calling it a petty tradition that he couldn’t even properly see his spouse. However, as the moment to enter the ceremony approached, he completely changed his mind.
“Tae-jun. How do I look?”
“……”
“Say something.”
He couldn’t say anything if she didn’t prompt him. Yumin, blinking with her demure eyes, was breathtakingly lovely. Tae-jun pulled Yumin into a hug and tried to kiss her. The wedding hall staff were shocked.
“You cannot!”
“You need to enter, Groom!”
It wasn’t easy to separate the two. The ceremony started off in a mess.
Yumin’s eldest uncle, who officiated the ceremony, gave them his blessings to have many children and live happily. In front of hundreds of relatives, Tae-jun and Yumin kissed passionately.
The second part was a traditional wedding ceremony. The hotel garden was decorated as an outdoor venue, and the occasion was formal. The wildcat elders frowned upon seeing Yumin in a red dress with traditional red dots painted on her cheeks. On the other hand, the tiger elders laughed heartily and applauded. Pressured by their enthusiasm, the wildcats reluctantly offered their congratulations.
Surrounded by the formidable tigers, Yumin felt no fear. She knew well that as long as Tae-jun loved her, there was no need to be afraid.
After successfully completing the ceremony, the two headed to the airport. Yumin still didn’t know their destination.
“Where are we going?”
“I can’t tell you yet.”
“Will you tell me when we get to the airport?”
“When we board the plane.”
Yumin’s heart pounded so hard her ears felt like they were perking up. Where could they possibly be going? It was fun to imagine. She had never explicitly stated where she wanted to travel… she was also curious if their tastes would overlap.
“Wow! Bali?”
Finally, when they arrived at the check-in counter with Tae-jun, Yumin’s eyes widened in delight as she exclaimed.
“How is it?”
“I love it!”
Yumin hugged Tae-jun’s neck and dangled from him. Bali was a place Yumin had wanted to visit for a long time. A place with the sea for swimming, where delicious, sweet fruits were abundant. Most importantly, it was filled with honeymoon villas.
“We chose Bali so we could swim just the two of us.”
When Tae-jun showed her pictures of the accommodation, Yumin began to moan. The pools were varied in size and depth. Tae-jun gently tickled her chin.
“Great! I’m going to swim all day!”
Until now, she had only been able to soak in a small washbasin in the cramped bathroom of her dormitory, which was never satisfying. She had never visited a large swimming pool on trips outside the city with Tae-jun.
Yumin moaned throughout the flight, rubbing her head against Tae-jun’s shoulder. Feeling his gentle touch, she dozed off, and six hours passed in no time.
Outside the airport was an exotic summer landscape. Markets with rows of humble stalls, the crashing sea. The sweet scent of mango juice wafted from the roadside.
The accommodation was similar. The well-maintained grounds exuded an exotic fragrance, and unknown trees beautifully adorned the area next to the massive pool. Once inside the pool villa, Yumin shrieked. Right next to the bedroom, just one door away, was a private pool to dive into.
“Wow!”
Yumin jumped into the water without even changing her clothes. Tae-jun, startled, warned her.
“Be careful!”
“I’m fine!”
It was a characteristic of a wildcat to become faster and more agile in water. As Yumin kicked her legs and moved forward, a faint flutter echoed from her belly. The babies were surely excited too.
“Hey!”
Yumin splashed water at Tae-jun in a surprise attack. Tae-jun, willing to reciprocate, jumped into the pool with a splash. The sounds of tickling and laughter echoed.
After swimming to her heart’s content, Yumin was hungry. She wanted to go out and explore, rather than order room service. Tae-jun washed Yumin thoroughly and dried her hair until she was fluffy, then took her to the bustling area behind the accommodation. It was dusk, and a night market was open, filled with stalls selling food and clothes.
“Let’s get matching ones. What do you think?”
Yumin suddenly pointed at pants with elephants printed on them. They seemed loose-fitting with elasticated ankles, perfect for comfort, but they didn’t match Tae-jun’s fashion sense.
“Hmm… anything else?”
“I like the elephants. Two, please! Discount, please!”
Completely fixated on the elephants, Yumin even haggled with the vendor and managed to get two pairs of pants. Since he had promised to do anything Yumin wanted, Tae-jun changed into the pants on the spot and even took commemorative photos. They looked a bit ridiculous, but there was nothing he could do.
The dining spot was a seaside restaurant. Famous for its seafood barbecue, Tae-jun had booked the entire evening in advance.
“Why is no one here? Didn’t you say it was a popular place?”
Yumin tilted her head, looking at the empty restaurant. Tae-jun said it was nice to have it private and ordered dishes that suited Yumin’s taste. Fresh lobster, shrimp, tenderloin steak, and grilled sirloin were all to Yumin’s liking.
“It’s delicious!”
“Eat a lot. Eat as much as you want.”
“This is the best. It’s really delicious!”
Yumin enjoyed the barbecue until she was stuffed.
For dessert, mangosteens were served. When Yumin had trouble peeling them, Tae-jun peeled the fruit for her. The white, sweet flesh was unbelievably refreshing. She couldn’t get enough of it and ate a kilogram right there.
Having overeaten, they decided to walk until their stomachs settled. Gazing at the twinkling lights of the night market, Yumin breathed in the sea breeze.
Partway back, Tae-jun carried Yumin on his back. Yumin leaned comfortably against Tae-jun and returned to the accommodation.
Behind the accommodation building was a private beach for guests. After a short rest, the two went out to the empty beach and lay down on the sunbeds. Yumin hummed a tune unconsciously. After enjoying plenty of fresh seafood and meat, lying there so comfortably, she envied no one in the world.
Thanks to the clean, clear air, unlike in Seoul, the stars in the sky were clearly visible. Yumin, drawing constellations as best she knew, turned her head when she felt a gaze on her profile. Tae-jun was staring intently at her.
“Why?”
“Because you’re beautiful.”
The tips of Yumin’s ears turned red. Tae-jun sometimes caught her off guard like this.
“You, you’re handsome too…”
“I know.”
Unlike Yumin, Tae-jun accepted the compliment calmly. Their eyes met in the air. And without a word, they found each other’s lips.
The kiss, which had started lightly, began to heat up. As they licked, bit, and sucked each other’s lips, their excitement grew.
“Tae-jun…”
Yumin whispered softly. Just hearing her name, Tae-jun understood Yumin’s intention. Her body was heated, meaning she wanted to go to the room and continue their intimacy. Tae-jun was also willing to agree.
But then, a different thought crossed his mind. Until now, they had mostly had sex in bed. Wouldn’t it be nice to try a different location sometimes?
“Yes, just a moment.”
With those words, Tae-jun picked Yumin up and walked towards the pool. Yumin, flustered, flailed her limbs, but she couldn’t stop Tae-jun.
“What, what are you doing!”
“Let’s do it here.”
“Here? Are you crazy?”
“I wanted to try it.”
Yumin’s resistance intensified, but it was too late. Tae-jun carefully entered the pool with Yumin in his arms.
“What if someone sees!”
“It’s just us. And you can’t see from outside.”
In fact, Tae-jun had scouted the area beforehand when unpacking and exploring the accommodation, keeping the possibility in mind, but Yumin had no idea.
“Even so…”
Yumin couldn’t finish her sentence. It was because Tae-jun embraced her deeply again and kissed her. A thrilling sensation flowed between their entwined tongues. The kiss, which started on their lips, eventually moved down to her neck and collarbone.
The water wasn’t very deep; it reached about waist-high when standing. But perhaps it was the excitement of having sex outdoors? Or perhaps the fear that someone might see? For whatever reason, Yumin clung tightly to Tae-jun.
Tae-jun’s fingers squeezed Yumin’s buttocks firmly and hovered around her entrance. Yumin, involuntarily tensing up, Tae-jun whispered tenderly.
“It’s okay. Just trust me.”
“Yes…”
Yumin relaxed completely and leaned against Tae-jun. She heard Tae-jun’s joyful laughter from above.
“Ah, ah… wait a moment…”
Yumin held onto Tae-jun’s shoulder with all her might. But her sweaty palms kept slipping on his skin. Each time, Tae-jun’s thrusts from below penetrated deeper, making her lose her senses.
“Tae-jun, just a moment…”
Her pleas were in vain. Tae-jun tightened his grip on Yumin’s buttocks and thrust into her entrance, hard and fast. Whenever Yumin’s posture became unstable, the tightening of her entrance offered unparalleled pleasure. He almost wanted to make Yumin more uneasy.
In contrast, Yumin felt like she was going crazy. The squelching sound from their half-submerged bodies made her want to cover her ears, but she couldn’t use both hands because she was holding onto Tae-jun. Having no choice but to listen to the lewd sounds, she found it unbearable. She begged Tae-jun to stop for a moment, but it was no use. Instead, every time Yumin pleaded, his penis penetrated deeper into her.
With the continuous thrusting, a sense of climax began to build from her lower abdomen. Yumin tilted her head back and swayed powerlessly with Tae-jun’s thrusts. Through her blurry vision, she could see the stars she had seen in the night sky earlier. Even those appeared as streaks of light due to the tears in her eyes.
“Yumin.”
Tae-jun called her name briefly. Having had sex with him countless times, Yumin knew this was Tae-jun’s signal that he was about to ejaculate. Yumin instinctively tightened her entrance. Then, Tae-jun let out a groan. It was partly playful and partly lustful, but the aftermath was all Yumin’s to bear.
Tae-jun’s thrusting became incomparably faster and stronger than before. Yumin, lifted in the air, swayed violently with Tae-jun’s movements like a paper doll. As Tae-jun’s penis entered and exited the entrance, which was stretched to its limit and burning hot, his movements became irregular, and Yumin sensed that her climax was near.
After thrusting forcefully a few times, Tae-jun pulled Yumin close and bit her neck. Then, he ejaculated deeply inside Yumin’s entrance. Simultaneously, Yumin’s own genitals, having reached their limit, also released semen.
“Haa, haa…”
“Yumin…”
She felt like she could collapse right then and there. Her heart pounded wildly, and her breathing was ragged. Still, having climaxed once, she thought she could finally catch her breath. But that was Yumin’s delusion.
Not long after ejaculating, Tae-jun’s penis began to grow again. Feeling her inner walls being tightly filled, Yumin cried out in panic.
“You, what are you doing!”
“I can’t hold back…”
Tae-jun mumbled, licking the bite marks left on Yumin’s neck. A shiver ran down Yumin’s spine as she still clung to Tae-jun.
“Again, you want to do it again?”
“Let’s do it one more time.”
When Tae-jun said “one more time,” it had never actually ended with just one. Knowing this well, Yumin tried to detach herself from Tae-jun, but it wasn’t easy. Tae-jun kissed Yumin’s forehead soothingly and said,
“If you really want, we’ll do it in bed. That’s okay, right?”
Yumin hesitated to answer. Should she be penetrated in this unstable position in the pool, or have sex in bed, which was more comfortable and cozy, for an unknown number of times? Neither choice was easy. She wondered if she was falling into a trap, but the thought faded with Tae-jun’s subsequent kiss.
“Okay. Let’s do it in bed…”
“Yumin, you’re the one who suggested it.”
“How can you say that!”
Instead of answering, Tae-jun smiled and withdrew his penis from Yumin’s entrance.
“Ah…”
Yumin let out a moan involuntarily at the chilling sensation of his inner walls being scraped. Tae-jun carefully lifted Yumin out of the pool, then embraced her again and kissed her forehead.
On the way to the bed, Yumin couldn’t shake off the feeling of being tricked. However, as Tae-jun gently laid her on the bed as if she were a precious treasure and wiped her wet body with a towel, her resentment soon disappeared.
Tae-jun lifted Yumin’s finger and kissed her ring. It was a beautiful ring, emitting the same light from both their fingers.
“Yumin.”
“Yes.”
“No matter how many times I say it, it’s not enough, but I love you.”
“…Me too.”
Yumin lowered her eyes and replied. Then, she opened her arms and pulled Tae-jun into a hug. Through their touching chests, she could feel their hearts beating at the same pace.
The sweet night of their honeymoon had just begun.
