#Episode 48

 

“Huh, for me to eat?”

 

Instead of answering, Kang Hyeok shoved the wrap into Seong-ho’s mouth.

 

That mouth isn’t just for eating, it’s there so you can talk, tsk tsk.

 

As if he would understand that.

 

This dense guy was grinning foolishly again over just one wrap.

 

Starting from that smile, the atmosphere at the drinking table was more or less restored.

 

After that, as always, they exchanged meaningless chatter while passing drinks around.

 

Kang Hyeok had a tendency to become the center of any group wherever he went. Even when he just sat quietly without saying much.

 

The conversations went round and round, eventually focusing on Kang Hyeok.

 

“Kang Hyeok, are you still going on blind dates these days?”

 

How many times was it now? Anyway, he had met that internal medicine guy while on a blind date at a hotel with a woman Goh Ah-reum had introduced.

 

“No. I’m seeing someone.”

 

There was no reason to hide it, so he told the truth.

 

Since he was gradually revealing that Da-som was his woman, someone perceptive would notice soon enough.

 

When Kang Hyeok answered with a calm expression, everyone’s eyes widened.

 

Especially Seong-ho sitting next to him, who spat out everything in his mouth while shouting.

 

“D-don’t lie! When? Who are you seeing without me knowing?”

 

This guy with zero awareness was an exception.

 

“Wow, did it work out from the blind date? Her family must be well-off too?”

 

“Actually, wasn’t that woman you went on a blind date with last time also some company president’s daughter?”

 

It seemed he’d have to tell Seong-ho directly.

 

“Hey, who is it? Tell us.”

 

Somehow all his classmates ended up unmarried. Even the Skin Clinic Doctor seemed interested in marriage talk and was asking who the woman Kang Hyeok went on a blind date with was.

 

“She’s a fellow doctor.”

 

Everyone suddenly fell silent. The area around the table became quiet.

 

“Professor Choi is coming over there.”

 

Kang Hyeok looked up and watched Choi Eun-ju walking toward them with an indifferent gaze.

 

Choi Eun-ju, wearing a flower-pink coat, approached with light steps as if walking on clouds.

 

“Kang Hyeok, you’re here?”

 

Eun-ju looked at Kang Hyeok and showed him a bright smile.

 

Then everyone rolled their eyes and looked back and forth between Kang Hyeok and Eun-ju.

 

“…N-no way?”

 

“Hahaha, haha. Hahahaha.”

 

What are these bastards thinking right now?

 

When Kang Hyeok glared at his classmates with sharp eyes, they looked at the two with eyes close to certainty.

 

“No. It’s not, so don’t get strange ideas.”

 

When Kang Hyeok growled lowly, they nodded half-heartedly, pretending to understand.

 

“What were you talking about?”

 

Choi Eun-ju took a seat across from Kang Hyeok.

 

Then everyone was exchanging meaningful glances again.

 

“He said he’s dating someone. Don’t go pairing him up with just anyone and just drink your alcohol.”

 

When Kang Hyeok spoke in a cold voice, everyone widened their eyes and murmured.

 

If it’s not Choi Eun-ju, then who? Does anyone know? Such sounds could be heard.

 

“What do you mean? Kang Hyeok is dating someone?”

 

Eun-ju roughly grasped the atmosphere and asked with a displeased expression.

 

“He says he does. Our Kang Hyeok is seeing a doctor.”

 

Seong-ho glanced at Kang Hyeok and answered instead. Then Eun-ju’s expression subtly contorted.

 

Regardless, Kang Hyeok, who was displeased that the conversation had suddenly turned to this topic, wet his throat with beer.

 

“Hey, don’t drink alone, drink together.”

 

Seong-ho poked Kang Hyeok’s side and tilted his soju glass.

 

“You sly bastard, what? You don’t see women in gowns as women? Was that only limited to Choi Eun-ju?”

 

The surroundings became quiet for a moment at Seong-ho’s direct hit.

 

Eun-ju glared at Seong-ho as if dumbfounded, then gulped down the beer in front of her.

 

“Hey, Choi Eun-ju, let’s drink together. You’ll get drunk if you drink alone.”

 

“Here, eat some snacks too.”

 

The classmates began looking after Choi Eun-ju and lifting the mood again. Objectively speaking, Choi Eun-ju was quite a decent woman.

 

But to Kang Hyeok, she was no different from Tae Bo-kyung.

 

His own sister, but someone he found disgustingly unpleasant. More precisely, someone who made him feel repulsed.

 

In contrast, Da-som was…

 

What’s the point of saying it?

 

This guy was already showing a reaction, wasn’t he?

 

“Kang Hyeok, do you hate me?”

 

Eun-ju, who had emptied her beer, asked with a quite hurt expression.

 

“…Not really. I’m just not particularly interested.”

 

Since he had to keep seeing her at the hospital, he couldn’t bring himself to say he felt repulsed, so he just glossed over it appropriately.

 

Eun-ju looked at Kang Hyeok with an expression of disbelief.

 

Regardless, Kang Hyeok looked at his wristwatch to check the time.

 

Da-som, who said she was going to her family home, would probably be back by now.

 

Since he had shown his face at the gathering, maybe it was time to get up and leave.

 

“Hey, let’s send Kang Hyeok off first so he can go on his date.”

 

Seong-ho read Kang Hyeok’s mood and said loudly.

 

“Yeah, hurry up and go.”

 

“Are we eating wedding noodles this year?”

 

“Sorry. I’ll get up first. I’ll pay the bill before I go instead.”

 

Kang Hyeok smiled and got up from his seat.

 

He left the store with the noisy sounds of his classmates behind him.

 

The small garden had unknown flowers blooming. Their appearance revealed under the soft streetlight was beautiful.

 

When he took a deep breath, a subtle flower fragrance came with the wind.

 

Early spring, Da-som who came like a fever was more fragrant and beautiful than flowers.

 

Kang Hyeok took out his phone and called Da-som.

 

The ringtone went and after a moment, Da-som’s soft voice flowed out.

 

—Hello?

 

“It’s me. Where are you now?”

 

Now it was time to go meet Da-som.

 

***

 

“…Da-som… Jeong Da-som.”

 

Kang Hyeok, stuck close to her back, showered her nape with small kisses.

 

When Da-som scrunched her shoulders at the butterfly kisses, Kang Hyeok let out a low laugh. Da-som also giggled and tried to push Kang Hyeok away, but it was useless.

 

“Ah, it tickles.”

 

Kang Hyeok smoothed away the goosebumps that had risen on Da-som’s body with his large hand.

 

Kang Hyeok, who had left the gathering, and Da-som, who had just returned from her family home, met in front of the officetel.

 

And they went straight to Kang Hyeok’s officetel.

 

Da-som, who had been intoxicated by languid sensations after making love once, twisted her body at Kang Hyeok’s touch that was igniting the fire again.

 

“What time is it?”

 

Since Kang Hyeok had to work the morning shift tomorrow, it would be better for both of them if Da-som went down to her home to sleep around this time.

 

Da-som had night duty tomorrow too, so she would go to work in the evening.

 

“It’s past 11.”

 

Only indirect lighting was glowing softly in the room.

 

Da-som, who had become even more languid in the soft lighting, tilted her head back to look at Kang Hyeok.

 

Kang Hyeok gazed deeply into her eyes. Then he affectionately kissed her cheeks and temples, licking them with his tongue.

 

“…It tickles.”

 

As Da-som scrunched her shoulders and giggled, Kang Hyeok licked up her nape.

 

“How did things go at home?”

 

Kang Hyeok asked in a languid voice.

 

“Just fine. Nothing special happened. I think Mother still misunderstands the situation.”

 

“That’s Jeong So-yeon’s problem to solve. Don’t worry about it. Even if she finds out, what’s the problem? Just tell her the truth. I’m here for you.”

 

I’m here for you….

 

Whenever she was at the family home, the blatant discrimination always left her feeling down.

 

Da-som had grown so accustomed to this life that she accepted the discrimination—not even subtle, but done as if it were natural—to the point where she thought there might be something wrong with herself for taking it so casually.

 

“You’re right. That is something my sister should handle.”

 

Right, if it comes to it, I can just tell the truth. What am I so afraid of that I can’t speak up?

 

Thinking this way as Kang Hyeok suggested, she felt much better.

 

“Will you take my side, Professor?”

 

When Da-som asked playfully, Kang Hyeok bit her nape gently as if it were obvious, not hurting her.

 

“Ah! You just bit me, didn’t you?”

 

When Da-som turned around to glare at Kang Hyeok, this time he bit her chin.

 

“Really, you’re not even a dog, so why….”

 

“Now our Da-som is calling her professor a dog.”

 

“Th, that’s not what I meant, it’s just that you keep biting me.”

 

“Dog or whatever, it’s all fine with me.”

 

Kang Hyeok’s unfathomable eyes captured Da-som’s gaze.

 

“And don’t worry about anything. I’m always on your side. I’ll take care of everything.”

 

Though it wasn’t really something Kang Hyeok needed to get involved in, hearing these words was infinitely reassuring.

 

“In that sense….”

 

“Well, I should head home now. Professor, get some good rest. You have to go to work tomorrow.”

 

As Da-som cut off Kang Hyeok’s words and tried to escape from his embrace, he instantly climbed on top of her.

 

Through his cascading hair, Kang Hyeok’s dark eyes pierced into Da-som’s pupils.

 

“I want to put it in.”

 

Da-som, who had noticed the heavy prodding against her buttocks from earlier, pretended not to know and played innocent.

 

“…Wh, what do you mean?”

 

He smiled as if finding it absurd, then immediately wiped the smile away.

 

Several seconds of silence passed.

 

His eyes, shining even in the darkness, held only Da-som.

 

Under that gaze, her lower abdomen throbbed as she was immersed in a strange sensation.
