Each breath from Sunwoo touching her shoulder made her body tremble. A faint smile spread on Sunwoo’s lips as he played with Eunjae’s reddened earlobe.
“Making up an excuse for you to stay by my side is not difficult.”
“Wow, you’re really a bad person.”
“What?”
Avoiding the sharp gaze, Eunjae skillfully evaded Sunwoo’s eyes.
“Yoon Taegyu teases me every day, acting like I’ve split you two up.”
Moreover, that student next to us? You haven’t seen his gaze, right? He stares at you with eyes just like Yoon Taegyu’s.
As Sunwoo continued to speak sarcastically, he took a deep breath and paused for a moment.
“I don’t know if I’m angry or not. Without even knowing that, I… did something selfish.”
“Ah― So, you acted like that because of that? I thought you were angry because of our weekend plans? After making a fuss like that, it seems like you were very bothered? Seeing you rush out after leaving the umbrella behind.”
Sunwoo, who was watching Eunjae with annoyance, annoyingly splashed the water in the bathtub towards Eunjae.
“Noisy.”
“But what are we doing now? Are we competing to see who likes the other more?”
“Even if we do, you won’t win against me.”
Eunjae turned her body slightly and looked at Sunwoo.
“Do you remember that time? When those bad guys were bothering me in front of the officetel, and you suddenly appeared like a scene from a movie, saying ‘Let go of her!’ and rescued me.”
When you appeared in front of me, time passed slowly as if the world had stopped. Nothing else was visible except you.
“Do you remember that? Since then, I’ve liked Sunwoo.”
How could I not fall for you when I saw that?
“I won, didn’t I?”
“I liked you from the first moment I met you.”
“You liar.”
Sunwoo hugged Eunjae and sat her on his thigh.
“Otherwise, I can’t explain my actions toward you. Every single one of my actions was impulsive from the beginning to the end.”
Surprised by Sunwoo’s sudden actions, Eunjae thought her breath had stopped. However, as Sunwoo sat facing her, he calmly stretched out his hands, lightly holding Eunjae’s cheeks as if finding them adorable.
“What do people usually do when they like someone?”
“What do you mean?”
“They ask for the person’s number.”
“That’s usually to return a favor—”
“No, I just wanted to see you again.”
Thinking it was a withered tree, the moment your hands touched it, new shoots sprouted, and flowers bloomed on that dried-up tree.
“Why is it only your touch that feels okay?”
Sunwoo gently caressed Eunjae’s small and soft hand with both of his.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand. Strangely, holding your hand brings peace. It feels like my heart is cleansed.
“Come to think of it, it’s quite strange. The fact that the place I ran to was the men’s restroom, that you were there, and that only my touch elicits a different response. If we hadn’t met that day, where would we be now?”
“In any case, you and I would have met somehow.”
“How does Mr. Sunwoo know that?”
Sunwoo’s large hand, filled with a smile, wrapped around her delicate neck. In an instant, their lips met, and the knot tied to her chest effortlessly loosened under his touch. The towel that had fallen onto the water sank to the bottom of the bathtub, soaking up the water.
“I know everything.”
People often say it’s destiny.
