Chapter 53

Suddenly, the air began to stir.

The heat generated from it wrapped around Yoomin’s skin, making it impossible to tell whether it was hot from that, or if the heat rising from her own heart had spread into the air.

Her chest was pounding so much that her breathing became rapid.

“I’m suggesting we drink, so why are you making that face?”

Jaejun asked quietly.

Yoomin, feeling unnecessarily guilty, stammered in confusion.

“Wh, what. What do you mean my face looks…?”

“An expression that says you also want to hurry up and do it with me.”

Yoomin, feeling completely exposed, let out a big breath and fanned her face.

She deliberately avoided his piercing gaze while flapping her t-shirt with her other hand to release the heat.

“I can see your skin. Don’t make me heat up.”

At his following sticky remark, Yoomin stopped.

When she glanced at him, his gaze was fixed on the area around her collarbone.

Unlike the dirty feeling she had when Kim Byeongtae looked over her body with his eyes, a strange excitement spread through her.

This fact was very unfamiliar, and since it felt embarrassing for some reason to have Jaejun discover her inner thoughts, Yoomin pretended to be oblivious.

“Stop, stop saying weird things. And it’s not that I want to do it with you, but…!”

He tilted his head slightly at an angle and stared at her even more intensely.

It was deep and dark, as if she would be sucked in like a black hole.

If she didn’t come to her senses, she would surely be devoured.

“Why are you stopping mid-sentence?”

“It’s not that I want to do it with you, but… a rare, rare pleasure.”

“What?”

He laughed lightly as if he found it absurd.

“It’s been 5 years… since I last did this. Drinking alcohol too. And having such a pleasant meal like this.”

“Then I should let you eat quickly.”

Jaejun told her to wait a moment and then left the house.

He went out before she could even ask where he was going, so Yoomin came to her senses belatedly and ran to the window.

Creak-.

When she opened the window and looked down, she saw Jaejun opening the gate and heading toward the car parked right in front.

He opened the car door, took a long box in his arms, and picked up a black plastic bag with his other hand.

After closing the car door and entering the yard to climb the stairs to the 2nd floor, he seemed to sense her gaze and looked up.

Yoomin was startled and flinched as if she had been caught stealing.

Jaejun looked at Yoomin like that and winked one eye.

With his gorgeous appearance acting flirtatious, her heart was about to explode.

She thought she understood why people had always told her to be careful of fox-like men.

Clatter-.

While she was frozen in confusion, the entrance door opened and Jaejun entered.

“What were you peeking at so cutely?”

“Pe, peeking? I was keeping watch in case someone tried to take you away…”

“Even your excuses are cute.”

Jaejun curled up the corner of his mouth slightly and headed back to the table.

Feeling embarrassed, Yoomin pretended to be nonchalant as she picked up an entire row of paper cups and went back to sit down.

“Did you buy alcohol in advance? Why didn’t you bring it with you when you came with the chicken?”

Jaejun said while taking wine out of the box.

“If I had brought alcohol from the beginning, you might have misunderstood me.”

“What kind of misunderstanding?”

“A misunderstanding that I came here with the intention of sleeping with you?”

Yoomin was once again left speechless.

She was confused whether she was having a conversation with Jaejun or playing a heart rate increasing game.

Yoomin tried to calm her breathing that was about to quicken again and cleared her throat unnecessarily.

“Ahem. I don’t have such lewd thoughts.”

“Why not? You should.”

Jaejun retorted dryly while opening the wine bottle.

When the flustered Yoomin couldn’t say anything and just moved her lips foolishly, he chuckled.

“I’m joking.”

Since Jaejun said it was a joke so dryly, Yoomin felt embarrassed as if she had been counting her chickens before they hatched and extended her hand.

“Give it to me, I’m, I’m thirsty.”

“This has quite a high alcohol content, will you be okay? I have beer too.”

Jaejun gestured toward the black bag with his chin.

Yoomin looked at Jaejun once, then quickly reached for the bag and opened it to look inside.

There were several bottles of soju and beer.

“Why did you buy so much?”

“Because I don’t know Hong Yoomin’s preferences? So you can choose what to drink. There are ice cups too. Fortunately, they haven’t all melted.”

Yoomin couldn’t help but giggle at his thoughtfulness.

Jaejun stared at Yoomin blankly, and when Yoomin raised her eyebrows as if asking why he was laughing, he whispered slowly.

“I’m wondering what you’ve been eating for the past 5 years.”

“What are you talking about?”

“How can a woman’s smile be this pretty?”

“Oh, seriously…”

Yoomin bit her lips lightly and snatched the cup from his hand.

Then she gulped down the alcohol he had said had a high alcohol content.

Fortunately, Jaejun hadn’t filled it completely but only poured about 1/3 of the cup, so the amount she drank wasn’t much.

“You’ve become prettier over the past 5 years, but your feisty personality is still the same.”

“What?”

“Do you remember the first day you had chicken and beer with me?”

Yoomin slightly raised her gaze upward and recalled the past.

Right after finishing the last lecture exam of midterms in first place, someone called out to Yoomin.

“Hong Yoomin.”

“Huh? Senior?”

“Did you do well on the exam?”

“Just so-so.”

“This is the last exam.”

“Yes. I want to sleep now.”

“If you drink alcohol before sleeping, you sleep really well?”

“Really?”

“There’s a place near the back gate that makes good chicken. Aren’t you hungry?”

“I am a bit hungry… but Suji told me to come home early.”

“Why? Is she going to buy you something delicious?”

“No. She’s meeting her boyfriend and asked me to go shopping for clothes with her.”

“Don’t be a sidekick and eat chicken with your oppa.”

“…Hmm.”

She was 100% certain. If she followed Hong Suji to the department store, she would spend hours circling around stores playing the role of a pack mule.

Moreover, how much had she suffered not only doing her own studying and assignments, but also doing Suji’s share and organizing lecture notes for her?

She had considered being rebellious just for that day.

Seol Jaejun, who kept tempting her, made her heart flutter so much that day just wearing a training suit.

It was because he looked exactly like the epitome of a school senior who had jumped out of a youth drama.

Thinking that she had worked hard and should reward herself just for today, she accepted Jaejun’s proposal.

On the way to the chicken restaurant, she turned off her phone and focused only on Jaejun even after arriving.

“I didn’t know why kids kept going on about chicken and beer, but the combination was amazing.”

“I’m someone who doesn’t even understand drinking accompaniments. Why on earth do people eat food together with alcohol that tastes like alcohol?”

“Just try it first.”

The day she first had chicken and beer while talking with Jaejun.

The bitter yet refreshingly cool sensation going down her throat seemed to fill the desires she had lived without freedom until then, and she was moved.

Intoxicated by that feeling, despite Jaejun’s attempts to stop her, she had drunk beer like crazy.

“Boss! One more drink!”

“Stop drinking. You’re really drunk.”

“Senior is nice. Senior isn’t someone who would do bad things to me.”

“Who says that. I won’t do bad things.”

“Ah, I don’t know. Today, whatever senior does is all okay. Because it’s Seol Jaejun.”

“You’re really driving me crazy.”

“Huh? Senior!”

“What.”

“You have delicious sauce on your lips…”

And then saying Jaejun’s lips must taste good too…

“Wait, come here.”

She had crazily sucked on Jaejun’s lips as he brought his face close.

“You started it first. This makes us even.”

Then, despite being completely drunk, he had intensely given her the first strange sensation she had ever felt.

Although it was a table with partitions, if it hadn’t been a public place, they would have gone all the way.

Recalling that time, which was the biggest deviation of her entire life, her breathing gradually became rougher and her already red face turned even redder.

That change was very visible to Jaejun too, as he smiled mysteriously and asked.

“You must have recalled it very vividly.”

“I… don’t remember. It, it was a long time ago.”

Jaejun narrowed his eyes mysteriously and whispered so quietly it was barely audible.

“Really?”

Then he grabbed Yoomin’s arm and pulled her toward him.

His strength was so great that even though it seemed like a light pull, Yoomin’s bottom lifted and her upper body tilted sharply toward Jaejun.

The sound of the wine bottle as she nearly fell over and regained her balance rang out as loudly as Yoomin’s heartbeat.

She forgot to breathe and looked into his eyes that were dangerously close.

“Should I help you get into position to remember and we try again? You never know. I might just ask you to marry me right away.”
