[Agent Selene POV]
’What the f*ck did he say? And what exactly does he an by that, huh? He’s a pervert, but it only applies to ? D-Don’t tell he...’
"Hey! Are you... falling for ?" I grimaced with much disgust. "We’re partners, and this is a mission. We’re not supposed to take this personally and get our feelings involved."
Agent Helios raised his eyebrows as if he was baffled by my suggestion.
"Falling for you? Ha-ha-ha!" he laughed. "Hmm... let’s see," he tried to mull it over. Then, looking straight into my eyes, he asked, "What do you think?"
"Huh? I’m the one asking you, why are you asking back?"
With no one answering the question laid, silence fell in the room. We just stared at each other, trying to read the other’s mind and contemplating. After giving it much thought... we ended up laughing at each other, shaking our heads.
"Pfft! Ha-ha-ha-ha! No way. There’s no way that’s going to happen," I said. "You don’t have a heart."
"Exactly," he agreed. "Just like you."
"Hey! I do have a heart. You’re the one who’s not—"
"I ant in a romantic sense."
"Oooh. Yes, that’s right. I don’t really care about romance."
"Sa. Good thing we agree on that."
"Yeah, that’s good," I nodded.
"Kissing and feelings are different. I do like kissing you, but—"
"Huh? What?! You like kissing ?"
His eyes widened for a brief mont as if he didn’t intend to say that.
"Well..." he said, averting his eyes. "It’s a... normal thing for a man. You probably won’t understand, so it’s better not to explain before you start getting the wrong idea."
"I already am getting the wrong idea," I pressed on.
I must make sure that I wasn’t partnering with soone who might possibly rape in the future if he couldn’t help himself, right?
’Wanting to kiss , but he didn’t have feelings for ? That’s basically lust, right? A 100% pervert! This is very concerning! Now that explains those monts he kissed wildly like a hungry beast! He’s a lustful maniac!’
Agent Helios sighed deeply.
"Do you really want to know the truth?"
"Yes!"
"Are you ready for it?"
"What? Of course!"
"Alright. I’ll tell you everything, so listen closely," he said, shrugging. He turned to face again and began explaining, "Honestly, at first, I didn’t give a d*mn kissing you. The first ti we did it, I felt nothing—just amusent since it was fun seeing you desperately try to gain my approval so you can get this S-rank mission."
"I could say the sa thing, hmp!"
"Yeah. But then, the more we do it, the more I get used to it? I’m not sure if that’s the right term for it," he said, touching the back of his neck. "Anyway, recently—especially when we practiced kissing that night—I, ah... I’ve been feeling weird lately."
My eyes widened in surprise. He seed a little shy sharing it with , so I appreciate him trying to.
"Weird, how?"
"My heart... it thumps loud when we do it—louder than usual."
’Huh? He’s feeling that way, too? So I’m not the only one, huh?’
"Then, when we start kissing, for so reason, I can’t... stop. The longer it goes, the more I want."
Hearing him say that, my face felt hot all of a sudden. If I were to be honest myself, even I couldn’t help it when we kissed deeply. I couldn’t even bring myself to stop him! Wait, does that an I’m a lustful pervert, too?! What the heck?! No!
"It’s weird, though," he continued, with his face a little flushed, too. "When it cos to other won, I never felt that way. It’s disgusting—like what happened with Ms. Choi. I wanted to puke badly that ti. That’s why I’m glad you ca and helped."
"O-Oh, I see," I stuttered, finally understanding what he ant.
Ba-dump!
’Huh? What’s that? Why is this conversation making nervous?’
As my heart betrayed and went thumping loudly by itself, Agent Helios added...
"Holding you in my arms and kissing you... felt natural. It wasn’t disgusting."
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
Ughhh... Heart, please, stop! I an—return to normal, not stop.
"So, if you’re going to ask if I liked kissing you," he paused before continuing, "I do. At least I’m honest about it. Now, if you call it lust or whatever, suit yourself. I don’t even understand it myself."
"... R-right."
A brief silence covered our surroundings.
"How about you?" he asked, breaking the atmosphere. "How do you feel about it?"
He shot a curious glance at , but I averted my eyes from his. For so reason, I felt too shy to face him.
’Ugh. What is wrong with ?’
"I, ah..." I struggled to answer him. "I... I don’t know."
"Really?" he inched closer and whispered to my ears. "Why do I find that hard to believe?"
"It’s the truth!"
"How unfair. I beca honest with you, but you’re lying to ."
"I’m not lying..."
He chuckled.
"There’s only one way to find out."
"Huh?"
He touched my face, guiding it close to his until we were only a breath apart. Thinking he was going to kiss , I bit my lips—which was weird. I should be covering my lips, not biting them as if I... I want it?
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
’D*mn it! Is he seducing ? Why is he so good at it? But most of all, why am I falling for it?!’
Feeling his breath on my lips, I suddenly had butterflies in my stomach. My heartbeat rising over and over wasn’t helping at all. My face was probably so red right now, but I couldn’t help it.
"What’s wrong?" he whispered seductively. "You can kiss if you want."
"... Shut up. I don’t like it."
He chuckled again.
"My dear wife is such a bad liar."
"No."
"Why don’t we make a deal?"
"Huh? What deal?"
"I’ll kiss you whenever I want, and you can kiss whenever you want—even in private."
