[Music Recomndation: "Waste It On " by BTS & Steve Aoki - instruntal version by Paintalody]
Hearing those words, he quickly turned to face with a huge smile on his face. Would you look at that? It was as if he knew I would give in and say that.
’Kim Ye-Ji, are you sure you’re the one taming him, or is he taming you and manipulating you to do his bidding? Hm... Who’s the real tar and the one being tad? Haaah... I guess only ti can tell.’
Shrugging the thought off my mind, I leaned towards him and gave him a brief kiss—just a simple peck.
"Goodnight, my sly and evil husband."
He chuckled at my words. Then, he leaned toward and kissed back, probably unsatisfied with my peck.
’I knew it. He really won’t let it be a normal kiss, would he?’
He caressed my cheeks and neck as he kissed slowly as if savoring every part of my lips. I closed my eyes and responded in the sa slow kisses.
’Sweet kiss... I really hate this. It’s too sensual and... my heart.’
Ba-dump!
’Ugh. This is why I don’t like to kiss. Once we start, I will feel like this again!’
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
’The more we do it, the worse it gets.’
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
’If we continue this, what if I beco too used to it and then...’
Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
’... start developing feelings?’
My heart continued to thump louder and faster as I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck. We pulled each other close until our whole bodies touched in a tight embrace. He turned to lay on his back, making put my weight on him as he hugged .
We kissed and kissed and kissed.
Before we knew it, we were out of breath.
When I felt the kiss was getting hotter than it should be, I pulled myself together and stopped. I got up, straddling his abdon, and covered my lips as I panted hard.
"Haah... Haah... Haah."
We tried to recover our breath for a whole minute.
"This is why I don’t like kissing, you idiot," I murmured, pissed off about the situation.
"Why are you avoiding it when you like it just as I do?"
"We’re on a mission. We’re partners. And the number one rule of being a Mythos agent is to NEVER involve your feelings—especially when on a mission! It clouds judgnt! It makes you do stupid things! It puts your life at risk!"
Unexplainable anger rose within .
"I know. I’m the top agent, so of course, I’m familiar with that."
"Do you think I’m joking?!"
I looked him in the eyes, wanting to get my ssage across. But then, his expression... it was as complicated as mine. His brows knitted tightly, and his lips curved in an unamused smile, probably feeling conflicted like I was.
Did he ask for a kiss to confirm what he’s feeling?
Turns out, he, too, was...
’No! Stop this, Kim Ye-Ji! Be professional! This is a mission!’
A mont of silence followed.
Such dead silence.
It only stopped when he spoke.
"Ye-Ji’ya," Eun-Woo called my na gently and preciously.
He stared into my eyes which were almost crying, and carefully brushed my cheeks with his thumb.
"What?" I asked.
"About not getting our feelings involved... Don’t you think it’s a little too late for that?"
D*mn it. Did he really have to say the obvious?
I bit my lips and averted my eyes from him.
"No," I replied sternly. "It’s not yet too late. We just have to remain professional and stop whatever this is. And stop kissing in private!"
Another silence persisted... as if he was waiting for to change what I said. But no, I couldn’t. I must stay vigilant at all tis, not trusting anyone too much—including him. I must survive until I finish this mission and get ranked as the top agent to receive my prize. I still need to avenge my father. I’m not stopping until I get him justice! Feelings, romance, and any illogical thing have no place in my mind right now. So it’s a big NO for ... at least for now.
"... Alright," he said after a long pause. "If that’s what you want."
"I’m sorry."
"But don’t expect the sa for ."
"Huh? What do you an?"
Then, he got up and pulled close again, kissing my lips sweetly but briefly. With one hand, he held mine, and the other, he wrapped around .
"As you said, I do things the way I want to—the sa goes for liking you. So I’ll shower you with affection as much as I want, whenever I want. Make sure not to get tempted, though. Because I won’t stop until you’re mine."
His lips curved in a mischievous grin.
"W-What are you saying?! Y-Y-You... pervert!" I blurted out, flustered from all those words he said.
It was as if... he confessed to !
That’s considered confessing, right?
’Ughhh... where’s Yoon-Ah when I need her? But wait, I can’t ask her about this. Most of all, why is he saying that?! Since when did he—and why? We had just known each other for a little over a month. Don’t tell he fell for in that short period of ti? He’s just lusting! There’s no way love develops that fast! There’s no such thing as love as first sight, too—it’s probably lust at first sight!’
Feeling awkward, I got off him and stepped out of bed. I took so pillows with and pulled a blanket from the cabinet. In the end, I slept on the couch—very far from him! There’s no way I’m sleeping beside him when he just said all those ridiculous things. Good thing he let be and didn’t force to sleep beside him, or else he’ll have a taste of my fist.
And so, I laid my head down on the pillow to get so sleep. Hours later, I still couldn’t sleep. It’s all because of those words! They kept repeating over and over in my mind! Ugh! Evil Eun-Woo! Why do you always choose to say such disturbing things at night? I hate you!
