“I’ll take you ho today.”
Lim Dae-han responded indifferently to my words.
“I don’t want to.”
“I’m sorry you always take ho every day.”
“If you date , I will take you to my house.”
Unlike , who had a sparkle in my eyes, Lim Dae-han maintained his usual deanor.
I took a deep breath. We went to the arcade, ate a light dinner, and were almost ready to go ho when I realized I couldn’t even hold a kiss today. Even in the room cafe, all we did was joke around. Lim Dae-han ran into people he knew halfway through, which made the situation awkward. All of my friends were most likely hanging out near their house.
Anyway, ti passed. I lowered my head. Lim Dae-han smoked more often than I thought. What if he gets sick later? It made worry. It’s ti to go.? Even though it was my first date, I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t do anything.
“Let’s go get a taxi.”
Lim Dae-han grabbed my wrist and pulled into a taxi before I could say anything. We sat in the back seat. Now he has skillfully nad my apartnt to the taxi driver. It was a big change in a month. I was more hesitant and awkward than I had been at the room cafe. Again, it was never because there was nothing.
Outside the window, the sun was setting dimly. I stared blankly out the window. My ears were filled with Lim Dae-han’s low voice.
“Was it boring today?”
“No, it was fun…”
Lim Dae-han, on the other hand, was most likely not having fun. I’m not sure how he plays with his friends, but he won’t sit still and chat while trying to avoid the heat. “It was fun,” I said once more.
Lim Dae-han lightly tapped my fingertips. Tap. Tap again. I smiled helplessly and grabbed his finger for a brief mont before releasing it.
“Why are you touching ?”
Maintaining my usual way of speaking, I loosened my hand. As the sun set, darkness descended. The taxi eventually stopped in front of the apartnt. While I was rummaging through my wallet, Lim Dae-han put out his card again.
Lim Dae-han gave everything one by one. It could be good, but the emotions were complicated. It seed familiar to him and he seed to be good at it. However, he didn’t give an answer, but usually…there wasn’t any kind of physical contact on a first date.
Lim Dae-han stood in front of my apartnt, looking as if he was awaiting my farewell. If I said “Bye,” I expected him to turn around right away.
The cicadas couldn’t understand what was going on and just kept buzzing and crying. It was late in the evening when it entered the night pastures. Lim Dae-han looked down at as I remained motionless. The word bye. It didn’t co out of my mouth.
“Lim Dae-han.”
I called his na instead. He looked down at with his head tilted at an angle.
“Do you want to talk a bit more?”
He made a strange expression. Nonetheless, he replied, “Yeah,” as if he didn’t dislike the idea. I dragged Lim Dae-han to the pavilion in the apartnt complex’s corner. It was a pavilion tucked into the corner of a high fenced-in wall surrounded by security. It was a location that even the residents of the apartnt were unaware of, and it was possible that there were no people there at any ti of day or night. Even delinquent youngsters are unlikely to be aware of this location.
Lim Dae-han and I sat there together. I was staring at the sa spot blankly. I turned my head to look at his lips, then away again. I repeated it a few tis. When I turned my head again, I made eye contact with him.
“…”
“…”
We remained silent. I looked down, licked my lips, then looked back at him. My fist clenched and unfolded. I could feel my palms sweating. I wiped it away on my thighs. Lim Dae-han exhaled briefly and woke up from his seat.
“I’m going to smoke a bit.”
He didn’t hide it this ti. But, how would you go about going to the bathroom here? I nodded my head. Lim Dae-han walked around the corner, smoking a cigarette. It also had a strong cigarette odor. I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m paying so much attention to soone!
I approached the location where Lim Dae-han smoked after much thought and deliberation. He held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers and expelled smoke from his mouth. Then he shifted his attention to the sound of my footsteps. As I approached, he flicked his cigarette against the fence. I approached him with a determined expression on my face.
“Lim Dae-han.”
“Yeah.”
He avoided my gaze. I grabbed his cheeks with both hands.
“Let’s just kiss once.”
“…”
And before Lim Dae-han could respond, I stood on my tiptoes, pulled his face, and kissed him. Hmph. It lasted with a short sound. His eyes were wide open as I looked at him. It’s even better than I expected. It wasn’t all bad.
“Do you want to try one more ti?”
I stood on my tiptoes again. Whenever I lifted myself, my lips touched and fell with a choppy sound. I did it several tis. The first ti was difficult, but the second and third tis were easy.
After that Lim Dae-han finally wrapped his arm around my waist. I also wrapped my hand around his neck, which was previously holding his cheek. He slowly turned and made lean against the wall. His nose touched the tip of my nose. Our lips barely touched each other.
We looked at each other with our heads tilted and our eyes locked. I swallowed dry saliva. My throat clenched.
“I want to try a deep kiss too…”
I didn’t stutter, but the end of my voice trembled relentlessly. “I smoked,” Lim Dae-han said after a mont of hesitation. I shook my head without saying anything. It ant it’s okay. Lim Dae-han couldn’t take his gaze away from . Ah, that’s strange. I hugged him a little more with my hand wrapped around his neck.
“Put out your tongue.”
I slightly stuck my tongue out as Dae-han suggested. His lips were interlocked with mine and our tongues touched each other. I put a lot of force on my arm. The soft and moist tongues rubbed against each other. The saliva was sticky as the tongues rubbed against each other. Hmph, Uhm, Mmm. The sound was cut short. The sound was strangely racy. And it tasted exactly like cigarettes. I hope Lim Dae-han doesn’t smoke anymore.
Lim Dae-han held tighter in his arms. His hands were rubbing my forearms and back. To be honest, I felt Lim Dae-han’s lower body poked , but I pretended not to notice. However, I suppose I did as well.
I tightened my grip on Lim Dae-han’s neck and kissed him passionately. Lim Dae-han’s hand reached up and wrapped around the back of my neck. Lim Dae-han’s sucked my tongue. I wiggled my tongue at Lim Dae-han and hugged him even tighter. It was scorchingly hot.
Lim Dae-han’s strength pushed into the wall. He raised my head so much that my shoulders and neck were all sore. Every ti I stumbled and swept the ground with unclean fallen leaves, they were trampled on, making a rustling sound.
Our lips parted after a passionate kiss. Lim Dae-han looked down at with heated eyes. My lips were hot. I thought we would kiss again right away.
“You should quit smoking.”
Lim Dae-han nodded without saying anything in response to what I said. This ti, I inserted my tongue first into his lips. Even before sumr vacation, it’s already hot, but how much hotter will it be in the future? The sticky heat enveloped us.

“Bye…”
After saying my goodbyes, I tapped the combined entrance password and pressed it. I was rushing and fumbling, and I got it wrong twice. I was embarrassed to sense that Lim Dae-han was watching.? When the door opened, I said goodbye one more ti and walked in. I took a seat on the stairwell while waiting for the elevator.
I kissed Lim Dae-han.
That’s also a passionate one.
I had no idea how much ti had passed. I looked at the ti and realized it had been an hour. My lips were sucked rcilessly, and they are now swollen.
“Ah, I think I’m going crazy.”
I slamd my head against the wall and entered the elevator when it arrived. I pressed my lips together as I approached my house. I? entered the password and walked in through the door. In the living room, soone was watching television.
“I’m ho.”
I took a step to my room after saying a basic greeting to no one in particular. It was then.
“Ki Young-hyun.”
He was my older brother. He’s not anyone else, he’s not dad or mom. He was the brother I feared more than my parents. I, uh, said sothing and crept into the room.
“Change your clothes and co out.”
I turned my head. My brother seed to have had a drink. The fried chicken was laid out on the sitting table. He seed to have been waiting for without eating a thing. That was his strange drinking habit. He bought sothing to eat when he drank without my parents knowing since high school because of , who was especially skinny and small since I was young. Even after a long ti has passed, it remains this way.
“I, I’m full…”
“What’s wrong with your lips?”
When asked by my brother, I just said what I had in mind on my way.
“I had spicy food for dinner.”
“You had to be bluffing because you couldn’t even eat properly in front of your friends.”
“…”
“Co out and eat.”
I’m really full… Even more so now that I’ve eaten until dinner. But my brother told to co out and eat as well, without saying anything. Cheek-tak. My brother took the lid off the can. Carbonation rose from the beer in his hand and then slowly subsided. I think I’m going to eat it myself. A rebroadcast of an entertainnt program that was buzzing was played on TV.
I had no choice but to eat if my brother told to. If he let eat alone, I’d pretend to eat only one piece before going to clean it up. Today, however, I will have to awkwardly face my brother and eat the chicken. I would have stayed with Lim Dae-han a little longer if I had known this was going to happen. My excitent faded like the beer bubble in the can.
