Da Jeong followed him into the room, took a place on one side, and carefully slipped under the blanket. When she stretched her legs, a cool and soft texture enveloped her entire body.
Tae Sang turned on the mood light on the side table and closed the curtains meticulously. In the now dark room, his large shadow moved quietly.
The bed felt like it was sinking when he sat down on the edge of it.
“Isn’t the air conditioning too cold for you?”
Tae Sang, leaning against the headrest, turned his head in her direction. Faint light highlighted his high forehead and nose.
“No, I’m fine. What about the Vice Chairman?”
“…”
Lying down, she only lifted her gaze, and Tae Sang met her eyes deeply. Da Jeong felt tense because she couldn’t understand the reason for his heavy gaze. She fidgeted with the corner of the blanket, but he finally spoke in a low voice.
“I waited all day.”
“What… for?”
“Calling me by my name again.”
“Oh…”
Da Jeong couldn’t close her slightly open mouth.
Wanting to be called by his name, not saying it aloud, and waiting for it without saying it. All of it hit her with a small shock.
“You called me by my name earlier.”
“…Did you not like it?”
She had made a bold attempt once, but after experiencing failure, her voice became cautious. She didn’t want to repeat the same mistake.
“Why would you think that?”
“Your expression when I called you by your name wasn’t very favorable.”
“It felt unfamiliar.”
“…”
“So, let me call you by your name again.”
His voice, filled with held-back breath, sounded low. Da Jeong slowly opened her mouth, trying to contain the sensation as if her eardrums were melting.
“…Tae Sang.”
“Once more.”
Tae Sang’s head, saying that, came a little closer. This time, his intense gaze landed on her slightly parted lips.
With his black pupils concentrating deeply, there was no sign of movement. Staring silently, Da Jeong was captivated by his curiosity.
Was being called by his name such a happy event? She couldn’t understand it readily. However, she could definitely tell that the distance between them had become much closer than before.
“Tae Sang.”
“Keep calling me that. It sounds so good.”
His words, whether a request or permission, flowed loosely.
His shoulders seemed to droop as if they had slackened, and his eyes had relaxed. Tae Sang resembled a satiated predator.
Perhaps he was an animal speaking human words. As she gazed into his raw, restless eyes, that thought briefly crossed her mind.
“Well, okay then.”
She replied shyly, and his crimson lips drew a line in the darkness.
Tae Sang tucked his long legs deep into the blanket. The wide bed quickly filled with his body heat.
The distance felt so close that even their breaths could be felt. Da Jeong felt her heart pounding, wondering if the sound would tremble out.
“Ah, goodnight…”
She was about to wish him a good night, but the bed quietly swayed. When she turned her head in the direction where movement was felt, she saw Tae Sang lying on this side.
His jet-black hair cascaded over his forehead, and his robust shoulders rose towards the ceiling with a grin.
“I have a habit of sleeping on my side.”
“Do you really have to face this way? If you turn the other way…”
“I prefer this side.”
“…”
Da Jeong furrowed her eyebrows as if feeling wronged. In truth, when it came to preferring to sleep on one’s side, she was no different.
Hugging a cushion and lying on one’s side was so comfortable. She found it slightly vexing that Tae Sang didn’t know she was enduring.
“If you want to sleep on your side, go ahead.”
“I prefer lying straight.”
“That’s… not a proper preference.”
Tae Sang remarked with a piercing gaze. It felt like he could see through her thoughts, not only her thoughts but also her feelings.
Da Jeong quickly turned her body toward the wall.
“Um, now that I think about it, I also prefer sleeping on my side. Then, goodnight.”
Tae Sang, who suddenly found himself facing her back, unconsciously furrowed his brow. He had never realized that looking at someone’s back could be so frustrating.
“Sleep while looking this way.”
“I have a habit of sleeping while facing the wall.”
“…”
For a moment, he silently gazed at her small back, and a light chuckle escaped from Tae Sang’s lips. He had never engaged in such a cute argument in his entire life.
He brought the pillow and moved slowly forward. As he did, Da Jeong’s head slightly flinched. Her desire to turn around and look was clearly evident.
With a rustle of the sheets, Tae Sang closed the distance a bit more.
“We should share it equally.”
This time, Da Jeong couldn’t hold back and quietly expressed her protest.
Her shy voice was so enticing that it seemed as if she wanted to bite into it. Tae Sang clenched his teeth and suppressed the laughter that welled up inside him.
“Sorry. I got a bit greedy.”
“Yes, a bit.”
A mumble was thrown into the empty air. Tae Sang smiled quietly, restraining his breath.
Cute, or perhaps adorable. They were words he would never utter even by mistake. But looking at Da Jeong, those were the only words that came to mind.
Somehow, it felt like his mind was gradually going mad.
“Sleep well.”
He gently pulled the blanket with his soft touch.
The blanket that had rested on her chest smoothly rose up and enveloped Da Jeong’s shoulders. His gentle touch, pressing around her neck to avoid any gaps, carried an abundance of tenderness.
It was naturally proven that he had no ulterior motive for coming closer.
Da Jeong turned her body slowly, wriggling. Her peach-like cheeks were adorably revealed under the soft lighting.
“…You too, Tae Sang.”
Tae Sang captured the dizzying scene with sharp eyes.
Hair that flowed down like a waterfall around her neck, long eyelashes that trembled as if shy. Even her yellow-tinted irises were beautiful.
With his large hand, he gently swept aside Da Jeong’s disheveled bangs. The hair that had been poking her eye was softly pushed back.
“Right. Let’s go to sleep soon.”
With warm words, Tae Sang gradually stepped back.
He was filled with the conviction that tonight, more than ever before, they would be able to sleep sweetly.
