#Episode 38

 

Was it because his face resembled a baboon?

 

Da-som composed her expression and spoke again.

 

“I, I came to buy be, beer.”

 

When Da-som pointed with her finger toward where the beers were lined up, Kang Hyeok quickly turned his eyes to look in that direction.

 

“Ah, beer?”

 

“Yes, I was just feeling a bit thirsty.”

 

As Da-som hesitantly moved toward the refrigerator, Kang Hyeok suddenly turned around and walked toward the counter.

 

There was a faint smell of alcohol, so it seemed he had been drinking, but what was with that expression?

 

His handsome face was unchanged, but his expression was stiffer than usual, making Da-som tilt her head in confusion.

 

Does his expression become like that when he’s drunk?

 

Anyway, wanting to quickly choose some beer, she grabbed whatever came to hand.

 

Meanwhile, Kang Hyeok glanced back at Da-som selecting beer, then placed the item he had been holding onto the counter with a thud.

 

Damn it…

 

“Oh, why is this so crumpled? I’m sorry. I’ll get you a new one. But the same size…”

 

“Just ring it up.”

 

The employee, startled by Kang Hyeok’s sharp tone, finished calculating the crumpled condom.

 

Kang Hyeok took it and shoved it into his pocket, exhaled briefly, and returned to his usual shameless expression.

 

Then he sauntered over to Da-som, who was randomly picking up beer.

 

After sending that tempting text that completely bewildered me, our Da-som wanted to drink beer.

 

It was embarrassing to be caught buying condoms, but what could he do?

 

He had no choice but to put on a thick face.

 

“Not done yet?”

 

When he approached from behind Da-som and spoke, Da-som quickly turned around.

 

“There are too many types.”

 

Da-som’s flushed cheeks were dyed red.

 

“Should I choose for you?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Kang Hyeok took the basket Da-som was holding and casually threw in some beer. In truth, the beer wasn’t registering in his vision at all.

 

The slightly damp hair and the fresh fragrance tickling his nose were making his intoxication rise again.

 

Those damn old men could have drunk something with low alcohol content, but they had to drink strong liquor.

 

Although Kang Hyeok usually didn’t get drunk no matter how much he drank, he might have already been intoxicated by Da-som’s text.

 

“Is it okay to drink like this if we’re going on a date tomorrow?”

 

When Kang Hyeok took Da-som’s hand and headed toward the counter while casually asking, Da-som’s face heated up like it was on fire.

 

“Th, that is, what happened was… I was trying to send a text… I…”

 

“I understand everything without you saying it.”

 

Kang Hyeok grinned and placed the basket on the counter while also extending his card.

 

“Ring this up.”

 

“Yes, understood.”

 

The employee took the card. Seeing this, Da-som pulled out her card from her wallet and shouted.

 

“No, no! Please use this one instead.”

 

“Just use mine.”

 

In situations like this, the one with the louder voice wins – that’s the universal rule. In the end, the employee processed Kang Hyeok’s card.

 

“Shall we go now?”

 

Kang Hyeok picked up the plastic bag from the counter and left the store.

 

“I could carry it.”

 

“I know. I want to carry it.”

 

As he held the door open and waited for Da-som to come out, he finally noticed what Da-som was wearing.

 

Pink shorts and a t-shirt, plus a small hooded jacket that came down to her waist.

 

The top was one thing, but seeing her slender legs completely exposed in bare skin, Kang Hyeok quickly looked around.

 

Since it was late, there were hardly any people around.

 

Walking around dressed like this late at night without any sense of caution.

 

What to do about this.

 

“Could you hold this for a moment?”

 

Kang Hyeok handed the plastic bag he was holding to Da-som.

 

“Oh, yes.”

 

As soon as Da-som took it, Kang Hyeok removed the training jacket he was wearing and draped it over Da-som’s shoulders.

 

Now about half of her thighs were covered.

 

He took the beer from Da-som’s hands again and headed toward the officetel.

 

“But Professor.”

 

At Da-som’s call, Kang Hyeok looked down to meet her eyes.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“What, what did you buy earlier?”

 

Momentarily speechless, Kang Hyeok slowly scanned Da-som’s face.

 

He couldn’t endure it any longer.

 

“Condoms.”

 

He told the truth without any intention of hiding it. Da-som’s eyes gradually widened.

 

“Co, condoms?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Why are you asking again? How embarrassing.

 

When Kang Hyeok grinned at her, Da-som smiled back. She looked like her soul had left her body.

 

After receiving Da-som’s text while drinking with the chairmen, he had poured alcohol down his throat like a madman and rushed out.

 

The two chairmen, thinking it must be quite urgent, had pushed Kang Hyeok’s back telling him to hurry and go.

 

“Should we drink beer together?”

 

Da-som’s clear eyes looking up at him were shaking, having lost their way.

 

Had he been too obvious?

 

As he looked at Da-som with an anxious heart, Da-som quietly took Kang Hyeok’s hand and answered.

 

“Yes, I wanted to drink beer too.”

 

In that moment, his chest swelled as if he owned the entire world.

 

Kang Hyeok brought their intertwined hands to his lips and kissed them. Then he gripped that hand tightly as if everything existed within it.

 

The sound of his heartbeat echoing in his ears pounded against his eardrums as if it would burst out at any moment.

 

Ah, I’m going to lose my mind.

 

“Where should we go?”

 

A low, husky voice leaked from Kang Hyeok’s mouth.

 

Now they just needed to take the elevator up.

 

Kang Hyeok didn’t care wherever Da-som wanted to go.

 

He paused for a moment and asked with a leisurely smile, trying to appear nonchalant.

 

Da-som hummed softly and looked into the distance for a moment. She seemed to be thinking about where would be good.

 

“Um… I wanted to see your home, Professor.”

 

Da-som answered somewhat shyly, unable to meet his eyes.

 

“Alright, let’s do that.”

 

She wouldn’t think he’d just quietly send her home after drinking beer together, would she?

 

Kang Hyeok pulled Da-som’s shoulder close and showered kisses on the top of her head to hide his eyes burning with desire.

 

“Your home is spacious, isn’t it, Professor?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Da-som also seemed nervous and tried hard to act nonchalant. Even that appearance was maddeningly lovable to Kang Hyeok.

 

Ding—.

 

The elevator arrived and the two stepped inside. Kang Hyeok pressed the 27th floor button, then firmly pressed the close button.

 

Seeing Da-som blushing shyly under the bright lights of the elevator made his heart ache.

 

Why did the elevator feel so slow today of all days?

 

“Jeong Da-som.”

 

He called Da-som’s name aimlessly.

 

“…Yes?”

 

Da-som looked up at Kang Hyeok.

 

“Just because you’re pretty.”

 

What a silly guy.

 

The elevator arrived and the door opened. Kang Hyeok took Da-som’s hand and led her to his house.

 

The sound of the door lock disengaging rang out powerfully, as if opening a new chapter in their relationship.

 

***

 

Da-som barely managed to untangle their rope-like intertwined gazes and entered Kang Hyeok’s house, holding his hand.

 

She had thought the house she currently lived in was spacious, but Kang Hyeok’s house seemed several times larger.

 

As they walked across the cold marble floor toward the main gate, Kang Hyeok placed slippers in front of Da-som.

 

“Put them on. Your feet are cold.”

 

“Ah, yes.”

 

Kang Hyeok opened the main gate first and went inside. Following the long hallway, they entered a spacious living room.

 

A beautiful night view spread out through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

 

“Wow, it’s so nice.”

 

Da-som approached the floor-to-ceiling window.

 

Kang Hyeok placed beer on the island table and prepared something on a tray.

 

Should I go help?

 

As Da-som was about to approach, Kang Hyeok said,

 

“Shall we drink over there?”

 

“Yes, that sounds good.”

 

Drinking while looking out the window seemed like it wouldn’t need any separate snacks.

 

Kang Hyeok approached with dried fruits and beer on the tray.

 

“Sit down.”

 

As she sat on the floor covered with a soft carpet, Kang Hyeok also set the tray down on the floor and sat beside Da-som.

 

“Y-your house is really nice. Hahaha.”

 

Da-som’s face grew hot at her own awkward laughter that sounded strange even to herself.

 

Kang Hyeok chuckled softly watching Da-som like that.

 

“Here, drink.”

 

Kang Hyeok poured beer into a long-necked glass and offered it to her.

 

“Thank you.”

 

She received the glass with both hands, turned her head, and took a sip. As the cool beer went down, she regretted finishing it in one gulp and gulped it down eagerly.

 

A small burp came up because of the carbonation.

 

Of all the ways to ruin the mood.

 

As she looked back at Kang Hyeok, mocking her own clumsiness, Kang Hyeok was staring intently at Da-som.

 

“You must have been thirsty.”

 

“Yes, a little.”

 

Kang Hyeok stretched out his long arm and wiped away the beer foam around Da-som’s mouth.

 

But perhaps because this action had become familiar somehow, Da-som unconsciously stuck out her lips.

 

Kang Hyeok hesitated for a moment, then wiped the other side of her lips too.

 

“Haah… This is nice.”

 

As Da-som hugged both her knees and let out a small sigh, Kang Hyeok stretched his long legs forward and leaned back on his arms.

 

She glanced at his firm abs and something thick showing through his jogger pants, then quickly turned her head away.

 

“What’s nice? The beer?”

 

Even though he had clearly seen where Da-som’s gaze had landed, Kang Hyeok asked nonchalantly in a languid voice without any intention of changing his position.

 

“…You, Professor.”

 

I can handle this much, you know.

 

When Da-som answered half-jokingly, Kang Hyeok’s dark eyebrows twitched upward.

 

Though he spoke casually, judging by how his firm muscular chest kept rising and falling, Kang Hyeok seemed quite excited too.

 

Kang Hyeok straightened his previously leaning body and drank his beer in one gulp.

 

Watching his bobbing Adam’s apple, Da-som also raised her beer glass. Kang Hyeok, who had emptied his glass leaving only foam, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand while gazing at Da-som.
