Ji-an’s breath caught in her throat.

A pain worse than any bruise pierced through Tae-jun’s lips straight to her heart.

A tingling heat flowed down her spine, throbbing as it spread.

“When I heard you caught the kidnapper, my heart dropped.”

His warm breath flowed as his worry dampened her ear.

Her throat was too hot to say anything.

“At this rate, my heart won’t survive because of you.”

His lips had moved to hers before she knew it.

Moist lips settling down heavily.

His relief and comfort seeped tenderly through his lips.

Ji-an melted, her strength completely draining away.

Distant hands gently traced her back and wrapped around her waist.

Enchanted by the sweetness, her lips parted without her knowing.

His thick tongue swept across her teeth and rubbed against her softened tongue.

“Mmm.”

A sweet moan burst out as if she had heavenly chocolate in her mouth.

Their chests collided and swelled as they pressed together instantly.

The area around her navel tightened with throbbing pulses.

Her toes curled as if twisting, and stickier moans flowed between their locked lips.

Along with the pressure of the narrow space, dangerous instinct exploded instantly.

Ji-an reached out and dug into his chest. She could feel each of his firm muscles wrapped in his shirt.

Her chest heaved and her breathing quickened.

Their tangled breathing grew rougher as if all the air had been sucked out.

Her lips went numb and her whole body burned as if it would burst.

“Ji-an, breathe.”

Suddenly he gently pulled away from her lips that he had been ravaging and whispered.

She exhaled as if spitting out hot breath.

She lifted her head with burning eyes to look at him.

Lips glistening as if coated with honey.

A thick chest heaving with excitement.

And a man whose disheveled expression was still so magnificent was looking down at her as if he would devour her with eyes full of passion.

Bewitched by instinct, she reached out and gently cupped his face.

“If we get caught doing this, we’ll really be in big trouble.”

While touching him, her mind spoke completely different words.

“That will absolutely never happen.”

As if pressing into soft flesh, he whispered while fiddling with her earlobe.

Her chest hardened and swelled at his lewd stimulation.

“How can you be so confident…? Don’t tell me?”

Suddenly she remembered the bodyguards who had appeared from somewhere.

They weren’t guarding outside the door, were they?

“No way, right?”

Ji-an asked, lifting her eyes clouded with desire.

He didn’t answer. Instead, he lowered his lips to her earlobe that he had been fiddling with and bit down gently.

“Ahh!”

An instinctive moan burst out.

Ji-an was startled by the loud moan that erupted from her mouth and immediately covered it.

“Try to hold back.”

He burst into laughter and pulled her waist close.

“Just, just kissing…”

He completely swallowed her lips again as she said nothing more should happen.

Tongues were sucked and rubbed. Just the sensation touching her sensitive tongue tip made her tingle as if reaching climax.

Had kissing always been this hot?

It was unusually passionate and breathless. But she couldn’t stop.

Clang!

Had the wall shaken from their bodies colliding while clinging together?

She couldn’t tell if the sound came from inside or outside.

Her vision became hazy like a high fever patient.

It felt good.

It felt so good that she should hold back, but moans kept trying to burst out.

She wrapped her arms around his firm nape and opened her lips wider. He swallowed all her moans completely.

Her narrow mouth swelled as if it would burst with his breath and melted away.

Though she knew of greater desires, this alone was good.

She felt like she could spend all day just sucking lips with him like this.

Instinct pierced through her lips to places it could never reach, throbbing and tightening. Like a balloon swelling up ready to pop.

She was sucked and sucked until she melted away.

Love swallowed instinct and overflowed.

***

6 PM sharp.

At the dining table of the Hanyeong Group family home, Seo Dae-ho’s favorite soft-shelled turtle soup was served.

He lifted a spoonful of the cool broth and raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.

His wife’s voice sitting across from him never ceased, like a lark.

Having returned from volunteering at Hanyeong Hospital, she couldn’t hide her unusually excited mood.

Her voice carried emphasis at the end of every sentence, and even her eyes sparkled.

As time passed and the turtle soup was about half gone.

His wife’s story had also reached its climax. After listening for a while, he smiled lightly and spoke.

“Dr. Hong Ji-an has some unexpected sides to her.”

“You think so too, right?”

His wife’s voice grew even higher as if she had been waiting for this.

“She seems like the type who can’t lie. It all shows on her face. Most importantly, she definitely likes Tae-jun.”

Seo Dae-ho casually curled up his lips, then paused for a moment.

It was unfamiliar.

Who would have thought his wife had such a girlish face?

Lately, he kept encountering new faces of his wife whom he had spent his entire life with.

She had always been someone who followed him like a shadow. But recently she had raised her voice opposing Tae-jun’s marriage, and one night she burst out with suppressed grief, saying she had been ‘lonely her whole life.’

After that day, Seo Dae-ho looked back on their time together for the first time.

He had to reflect. As she said, he had been indifferent.

For the reason that it was too natural, he had never looked into his wife’s heart.

They had an arranged meeting and married within a month.

He thought they had been together for many years as comrades and spouses united by trust. But it seemed he had never really known the woman called ‘Song Jeong-suk.’

He especially didn’t know she was such a talkative and lovely woman.

The fact that the life he believed was perfect turned out to be only half complete was newly painful. He had lived without knowing the joy of being with someone you love.

“Do you know what’s even more surprising?”

“There’s more?”

“This is the real part now. I thought she was a police officer, not a doctor for a moment. She just ran right out, and she was really cool.”

His wife even gestured with both hands, calling it today’s highlight.

It was the story of catching the criminal who tried to kidnap a child in the emergency stairwell. Her voice grew more and more excited.

“I saw the criminal being taken away. My heart was pounding so much. I’m still trembling.”

“Hmm, she should have called for help first. The doctor was too reckless.”

“Reckless? It’s righteous.”

Seo Dae-ho clicked his tongue inwardly.

He wondered if this was really the same person who had opposed the marriage.

His wife seemed to have completely forgotten that memory and was now taking Hong Ji-an’s side.

“Oh! Did you know too? I heard people talking as we were leaving—they said Dr. Hong Ji-an filmed a promotional video for Hanyeong Hospital.”

“I received a report about it.”

“So you knew what she looked like?”

“I did watch the video.”

“I should look it up too.”

He clicked his tongue inwardly.

All his loud opposition to the marriage for his wife’s sake had become meaningless.

His wife seemed to have already been completely won over by Dr. Hong Ji-an.

“She’ll be so surprised when she finds out who I am later, won’t she?”

“Probably.”

“I didn’t hide it on purpose. There just wasn’t a chance to bring it up.”

“I know.”

His wife, her excitement subsiding, slowly stirred her soup.

Only then did he notice that she hadn’t touched her rice at all.

“Even so, marriage is too soon. Even though they’ve cut ties, everything isn’t completely settled yet, and Tae-jun is a bit annoying too.”

His wife’s sigh grew longer.

“Still, I should let her know who I am, shouldn’t I?”

“Are you planning to meet her again?”

“I should. This is also fate.”

His wife nodded, her eyes sparkling briefly. She seemed to have finished her deliberation.

But as she began eating the cooling lotus root soup with a relaxed expression, she fell into her own thoughts and smiled mysteriously.

What was that? That ominous look in her eyes?

His instincts detected something suspicious.

But being wise, he pretended not to notice and silently finished his lotus root soup.

At times like this, the answer was to watch quietly without saying anything.

***

As the weather warmed, gentle rain fell all day long.

Though it was still February, it drizzled softly as if spring had already arrived.

Ji-an, sitting at the ER station, hesitated for a moment as she looked down at her phone.

She couldn’t put it off any longer.

She had to send a message to Tae-jun now.

[Sorry. I can’t have dinner today. I’m on night duty.]

A reply came immediately.

[You did night duty last week.]

[A senior suddenly had something come up, so I switched with them.]

[Min Kyung-seok? Or Kim Min-su?]

At his sharp message that seemed ready for revenge, Ji-an gulped nervously.

She absolutely couldn’t get caught.

[There are unavoidable circumstances.]

[Why do I always feel like I’m being pushed aside by your colleagues?]

As soon as she sent her message, his reply flew back.

The image of Tae-jun’s face, probably scowling with displeasure, flashed through her mind. Ji-an smiled and quickly sent her next message.

[I’ll definitely keep our promise tomorrow. Let’s go eat something you like.]

[Anything at all?]

She chuckled at his persistent follow-up text and was shaking her head when—

“Seven-year-old male patient with breathing difficulties coming in.”
