“Are you going to pretend until the end?”
In Je Ho’s gaze as he looked at Yul Li, a deep darkness was cast.
He seemed upset about something and appeared somewhere unknowingly sad. Yul Li took a step back instinctively. But soon, she felt the cold wall behind her. As he approached in a situation where she could no longer retreat, Yul Li swallowed a dry gulp.
Then, with a ‘thud’ sound, the elevator doors smoothly closed.
The small elevator that didn’t occupy much area only had him and her, just the two of them. A strange excitement along with a heavy tension rose slowly from the bottom. The citrus scent mixed with musk flowing from Je Ho enveloped her body.
“Are you going to ignore me until the end?”
Ignore? Was he talking about what happened yesterday?
She thought she had been deceived for a moment, after behaving indifferently all day long.
Did their lips really collide?
Yul Li’s mind was in utter confusion.
“Do you really not know what I want?”
A sighlike whisper flowed from his lips. Yul Li turned her head to the side to avoid his piercing gaze.
To be honest, she was afraid because she seemed to know what he wanted. It didn’t seem like a joke, it felt like he was approaching sincerely……
Like a heartbeat, the slowly blinking light began to blink at a fast speed. He raised his hand and carefully touched her cheek.
Ahh, her heart throbs at the warmth transmitted through the cheek, and her breath was cut off.
Her lips parted slightly to breathe more comfortably. Then he gently stroked her open lips with his thumb. Under the subtle pressure, Yul Li couldn’t say anything, as if her tongue was tied.
Soon, the unsettlingly flickering lights went out and darkness fell around. However, his eyes, intensified with desire, reached her without any distortion.
“Yul Li.”
He just called her name, but for some reason, she was choked up and tears welled up in her eyes. Unbeknownst to her, Yul Li closed her eyes.
She should have pushed him away and gone outside, but she couldn’t. She didn’t want to. She was certain she wasn’t in her right mind. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten goosebumps from his soft breathing.
“Did you forget already? I clearly told you not to close your eyes……”
She didn’t forget. She remembered clearly. But Yul Li couldn’t open her eyes.
“If you keep your eyes closed like that…… I told you I would misunderstand.”
The end of his low, subdued voice was sharply cracked. Even with her eyes closed, the image of him glaring at her was vividly drawn, and her ears were deafened by the thumping, increasingly louder heartbeat.
Soon, he who had been silently staring, leaned his head down and overlapped his lips.
“Ahh.”
At the soft touch, a sigh slipped past her lips. Unconsciously, Yul Li clenched onto his clothing.
The sweetness that filled her mouth for a moment was soon replaced by a burning heat.
He clenched her waist with his hand and pressed her against the wall as if to crumple her. A strange sensation surged inwards sharply, sending tingles down her spine. Not only her lips, but her entire body seemed to be burning, Yul Li, without realizing it, clung onto him.
The hand that had been resting on her waist moved up along her smooth curve, and as the lips that were covering hers roughly began to move downward, Yul Li had to swallow the moan that was about to spill out.
Before she knew it, her shirt buttons were undone, and his hot lips landed on her bare skin that was exposed to the cold air.
She felt as if she was suffocating from the heat spreading throughout her body.
In the pitchblack darkness, raw instinct filled each other without restraint.
Whing…
Then, as if her head was ringing, a loud tinnitus spread in her ears. The tinnitus gradually started to transform into the murmuring voice of someone.
“Sister, ……sister?”
The moment the voice became clear, a cold hand touched her shoulder. The heat disappeared instantly, and a chilly silence descended.
“……uhm.”
Lifting her heavy eyelids, Yul Li’s face entered her blurry sight.
“Sister, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
Yul Li blinked with a blank expression.
What just happened?
Looking around and slowly raising her body, a strange scenery met her eyes. The place where she was now was not an elevator, but her bedroom.
“….Ah.”
Yul Li wore a forlorn expression, covering her face with both hands. She had returned home, laid down on her bed for a while, and seemed to have fallen asleep unknowingly.
“Oh dear, sister, you’re drenched in cold sweat.”
Yuri, with a worried face, brushed Yul Li’s disheveled hair. Just as she said, beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.
So, was it all a dream?
The sensation on her lips still felt so real that she found it hard to believe it was all just a dream. Even though it was a dream, the intense actions had reached quite a dangerous level. As a heated scene flashed in her mind, making her face flush, Yul Li furrowed her brows.
She didn’t understand why she would have such a dream when it was not from sexual frustration… It was extremely embarrassing.
“Dad is home.”
