“Are you feeling better now?”
After we finished, I carefully wrapped my arms around Eun-ha.
She had been so passionate just monts ago, but now, embarrassnt seed to take over.
She buried her face in my chest, reluctant to show it.
“Eun-ha, can you show your face?”
“It’s embarrassing...”
“Why? You were so bold just a little while ago.”
“Ack! Don’t bring that up, seriously—stop it!”
Suddenly, Eun-ha began to tickle my sides.
“Ahahaha! I’m sorry! I’m sorry—please stop!”
I grabbed Eun-ha’s arms tightly and pulled her closer. Finally, she lifted her head, revealing a face flushed with a deep blush.
Finding her cute and endearing, I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and she smiled softly.
“Kiss on the lips too.”
“Alright.”
As soon as I kissed her lips, Eun-ha grinned and placed her arms around my torso.
She traced circles on my chest with her fingers, watching my reaction closely.
“I’ve always noticed, but you’ve got quite a bit of muscle...”
“Should I build more? Do you like more muscles?”
“Huh? Oh, no—I just like you as you are. Why? Do you want to bulk up?”
“Well, if you like it, then maybe...”
“Would you build more muscle just because I said I liked it? Why~?”
“Because I want to look good for you.”
Eun-ha laughed happily, clearly pleased with what I said.
“You still want to look good for , huh?”
“Of course. Isn’t it the sa for you?”
“Yeah, it is. Hehe... but hearing it directly makes really happy.”
“I wish you would completely fall for .”
“What?!”
Eun-ha suddenly sat up on the bed, looking down at while covering herself with the blanket.
“What’s wrong?”
“N-no... it’s just, I was thinking the exact sa thing...”
“You want to fall completely for you too?”
Eun-ha nodded vigorously.
“Yeah! I was thinking how I’d love for both your body and heart to be completely mine! I was just thinking that a mont ago! But don’t worry, I’m already all yours, through and through. I can’t live without you now!”
Eun-ha couldn’t stop smiling, clearly overjoyed that we shared the sa thoughts.
“Today feels amazing...! To think we were thinking the sa thing. So? Have you fallen for ?”
“It’s a bit cheesy to say, but yeah. I can’t stop thinking about you every day.”
“When do you think about the most? Hm? When do I cross your mind? Tell .”
“I an, you just co to mind naturally. Whether I’m eating or drinking coffee, I start wondering what you might be doing.”
Eun-ha plopped back down beside .
“Han-gyeol~”
“Yeah?”
“I’m really excited right now. My heart is racing like crazy. Just having you next to makes it beat so fast. Wanna listen?”
“Huh? Whoa—!”
Eun-ha suddenly pulled my face towards her and pressed it against her left chest.
“How is it? Can you hear it...?”
It felt incredibly intimate, having my face buried in her chest, but I listened closely.
Thump-thump-thump-thump—
Eun-ha’s heart was racing wildly, beating incessantly.
“How is it? Can you hear it?”
“Shouldn’t we go to the hospital? Your heart’s racing like crazy.”
“It’s because of you, Han-gyeol~ Now it’s my turn~”
Eun-ha suddenly leaned over and pressed her ear against my left chest.
“Whoa—! You can take your ti, you know.”
“Nope~ I need to listen to your heartbeat, so be quiet!”
What guy wouldn’t have his heart race with his girlfriend’s ear pressed against his chest?
As my cheeks grew warm, I could feel my heart pounding wildly. Eun-ha, with a happy smile on her face, kept listening to my heartbeat.
“Aren’t you done listening yet?”
“Nope~ it’s still not enough. I can barely hear it~”
“Don’t lie. It’s my heart, so I know it best.”
“Your heart is pounding so hard. Do you really like that much? Hmm?”
I was embarrassed... I turned my head to avoid answering.
“Hurry up and answer~ Do you really like that much? Do you miss when I’m not around, and want to touch when I am?”
“Well, of course...! In high school, we were always together, but now that we’re in different departnts in college, we’re apart.”
“I was thinking the sa thing~ Yeah, in high school, we were always together, and it was amazing. Right?”
“It was amazing~ We were together every day, studying together and everything.”
“But back then, we couldn’t be this affectionate, right?”
“Um...! Yeah, that’s true.”
“Han-gyeol is getting all shy~ So cute.”
Eun-ha gave a quick peck on the cheek.
“You’re cuter, Eun-ha.”
“Han-gyeol, I love you. Isn’t there anything more you can say besides ‘I love you’? It feels like it’s not enough.”
“Even if I don’t say it, you know it, right? I love you a lot, Eun-ha.”
“Yeah, I know. But still, say it often, okay?”
“I love you.”
“ too...!”
When our eyes t, a natural smile spread across my face.
Yeah, we don’t always need to say it out loud to know.
****
Since I had a first-period class today, I got up before Eun-ha.
She seed too tired to wake up, so I turned off the alarm clock and headed to the bathroom.
After quickly preparing breakfast in the kitchen, I made another serving for Eun-ha and was about to leave the house.
Just as I grabbed my bag and was heading out, Eun-ha ca out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes.
“Han-gyeol, are you leaving...?”
“Yeah. Make sure you eat breakfast.”
“Isn’t there still so ti...? Stay a bit longer...”
“I prefer going early.”
“Today, leave just on ti...”
Eun-ha grabbed as I was about to leave and hugged tightly.
“Co on, you should wash your face and eat breakfast.”
“Can’t I eat you instead?”
“You had a lot yesterday.”
“Hehe... that’s true. I did eat a lot~”
Eun-ha nuzzled her face against , refusing to let go.
“Han-gyeol, I love you.”
“I love you too~”
“So, take it slow today~”
I hugged Eun-ha tightly in return.
“Ugh...! You’re crushing , Han-gyeol...”
“Should I let go?”
“No. I’d be happy to die like this. Hug tighter.”
“You’re too cute.”
“Don’t die—don’t you have to go? Be careful, okay? Watch out for cars?”
“Yeah. I’ll text you when I get there. I’m off.”
Since it was almost ti to leave, I gently pried Eun-ha away from .
She looked at longingly, and then, as if sothing suddenly ca to mind, she quickly spoke up.
“Oh, right—! I forgot to tell you yesterday, but Chae-in Jeong found out that we’re living together.”
“What? How did that happen?”
“Turns out she’s more observant than I thought. She noticed the toothbrush, the shoe rack, and the dishes in the kitchen.”
“I thought she wouldn’t notice since she was drunk... I’ll make sure to ask her to keep it a secret.”
“Hmm? No need~ I’ve already talked to her about it, so don’t worry.”
‘Did she really talk things out?’
“Hey, Han-gyeol, you’re going to be late. Be careful on your way~”
“Ah—yeah. I’ll be back. Don’t forget to eat breakfast, okay?”
“Okay! See you later in the afternoon~”
As soon as I stepped out of the front door, my mind was consud with how I should explain things to Chae-in Jeong.
We weren’t that close, but she wasn’t the type to refuse when asked to keep a secret. Besides, it was Eun-ha and I who had helped her out, so if I asked her to keep this under wraps, she probably would.
I should’ve cleared away the toothbrush and shoes that day... That was my mistake.
But what exactly did Eun-ha an by saying she “talked things out”? She’s a smart girl, so she probably handled it well, but I should still make sure to talk to Chae-in Jeong myself.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Just as I was about to enter the classroom, I ran right into Chae-in Jeong. The mont she saw , she lost all focus in her eyes and started mumbling.
“I didn’t see anything, and I didn’t hear anything, so don’t worry. Eun-ha is my friend, right? It’s only natural to keep a friend’s secret. Of course... yes, of course. The number of toothbrushes I saw in the bathroom wasn’t two, but just one. There was no trace of a man in the shoe rack, and the many dishes in the kitchen were just because of Eun-ha’s taste, right? Don’t worry. Lee Han-gyeol, there’s nothing for you to worry about. This secret will go with to my grave, so don’t worry. Got it? So could you please put in a good word for with Eun-ha?”
What’s going on? Why is she acting like this?
“Uh... sure. Thanks.”
“No, I should be thanking you...”
“Just don’t drink so much next ti. You’re having lunch with Eun-ha, right? When’s good for you?”
“Whenever it’s most convenient for you and Eun-ha.”
Eun-ha?
“Okay... do you want to choose what we eat?”
“As long as it’s not chicken... chicken is the only thing I can’t handle...”
“Isn’t that the safest option? Eun-ha’s good at cooking chicken.”
“No way... I can only eat boneless chicken now. Did Eun-ha say anything to you? Like about... breaking my joints—”
“Han-gyeol~!”
Before Chae-in Jeong could finish her sentence, Eun-ha’s voice suddenly echoed through the hall. Both Chae-in Jeong and I turned our heads at the sa ti, and there she was, standing right there.
“Eek—! You didn’t co alone?!”
“Eun-ha?! What are you doing here?”
Eun-ha hurried over to and handed my phone.
“You left your phone, so I brought it to you~ Oh, Chae-in Jeong’s here too.”
“Oh, I did forget it. Thanks for bringing it.”
As I took the phone from her, Eun-ha glanced at Chae-in Jeong.
“Chae-in Jeong Hi~”
“Hello...!”
What’s up with these two?
“Hey~ We agreed to drop the formalities, rember? Did you already forget?”
“Oh, right...! My bad, I totally spaced out.”
“Okay then, I’m off. See you in the afternoon, Han-gyeol? And bye, Chae-in Jeong~”
“Yeah. Take care on your way back.”
“Please get ho safely...!!!”
After Eun-ha left to go back ho, I looked at Chae-in Jeong.
“You okay? There’s no need to be so formal with Eun-ha, right?”
“M-My life was in danger...! It felt like standing in front of a wild beast.”
What? So she did see everything clearly, huh?
