Part 10

Jiwook pressed his hips upwards, he took her prominently swollen n*pple into his mouth. The plump n*pple, like a ripe fruit, was so sweet. He couldn’t get enough of sucking on it. Jiwook rolled her n*pple with his tongue inside his mouth while slowly rocking his hips. He withdrew until just the tip remained, then plunged deep, intensifying Seowoo’s moans.

“Wait, this is… Ah. Please.”

Shaking her head in a plea, Jiwook only tormented her more mischievously.

The rough texture of his tongue every time it brushed against the tip of her br*ast sent shivers down her spine. With her hands bound to the headboard, she couldn’t even push him away.

Her legs were widely spread, and all she could do was moan.

The tingling pl*asure spread up and down.

“Hah.”

He propped himself up on his arms on either side of Seowoo’s face, looking down at her squirming and panting beneath him, a smile spreading across his face.

“Look at me, okay?”

Despite his rough movements, his voice was surprisingly gentle. Seowoo slowly opened her eyes to look at him. 

Her initially blurry vision cleared, and she saw him smiling down at her. That warm smile made her feelings well up.

It felt like going back to before they were married.

Those rare times when he would look at her and smile like that, any worries felt insignificant. Even if it was on the bed.

“Don’t run away like that time again.”

“…….”

His eyes and voice conveyed his sincerity. 

The time when she had turned her back on him and fled as he left for a business trip, when she had been too exhausted to hold onto anything. Seowoo bit her lower lip to hold back her tears, and he gently tugged on her lip with his fingertip, then darted his tongue to lick the parted lips. The soft tongue slipped in and out of her lips with a sharp pain. As he tenderly sucked on her lips, he suddenly tilted his head and engulfed her in a deep kiss.

“Ah, mm!”

The more intense movements elicited unrestrained moans. Jiwook swallowed her moans.

Her saliva, her hot breath. All of it.

Each time he wrapped and sucked with his tongue, Seowoo tilted her head back, clinging to him more. When he reached up and undid the knot in the tie, her free hands wrapped around his neck.

The corners of his mouth curled up as he kissed her. The sight of her clinging to him made him grin like a madman. Then Seowoo pulled him closer by the neck.

“…uh.”

With lips ruined from the sucking, he glanced down and increased his pace. Her slender body shook uncontrollably up and down.

Their entwined bodies, half-dressed, felt almost animalistic. Jiwook, too, hadn’t even taken off his shirt.

“Ah, ha.”

Seowoo shook as if she couldn’t take it anymore. Sensing her limit, Jiwook relentlessly stimulated her sensitive areas, driving her to the edge.

“No, no, no. I don’t like that.”

“You don’t like it?”

He chuckled, finding her adorable.

Overwhelmed by an indescribable pleasure that made it hard to breathe, Seowoo gripped his shoulder and cl*maxed again.

“Ha, ah.”

Yet, Jiwook didn’t stop. He only pulled her pelvis closer.

Even with her in his arms like this, he thirsted for more. Jiwook embraced her tightly, burying himself deep within her.

It was a night of deep longing.

More than ever before.

Seowoo slowly opened her eyes to the loud vibrating sound.

“Ha.”

A sigh escaped her lips as she moved her body. Slowly opening her eyes, Seowoo reached out and grabbed the cell phone lying next to her.

“Ah…”

Seeing the caller ID, Seowoo touched the receive b*tton and brought the phone to her ear.

“Yeah, Jung-ah.”

• Are you still sleeping?

“Yeah. What time is it?”

• 10 o’clock. I called because I’m on my way. You should have enough time to get ready.

The shoot was at 1 PM, so it was time for her to get up, shower, and head out. Seowoo slowly sat up and sighed. 

Glancing to the side, the other side of the bed was empty. It seemed like Jiwook had already left for work.

“I’ll take a shower and come down.”

• Okay. You haven’t had breakfast yet, right?

“Yeah.”

• I’ll be there in 10 minutes.

Seowoo responded and hung up. As the blanket slid down, she saw her body wrapped in a bathrobe.

“…”

When had I put this on?

Yesterday, Jiwook hadn’t let go of her all night. Like he was determined.

‘I’m tired. Enough…’

‘How can you be tired just lying there?’

His words suddenly came to mind. She had been so exhausted from countless climaxes that she couldn’t even move a finger.

She couldn’t even remember when she had fallen asleep.

With my body feeling fresh and the robe on, could it be…

“Did he clean me up?”

She tugged slightly at the bathrobe, and her skin was covered in red marks. Just looking at them brought a flush to her face again. Seowoo tightened the robe and swung her legs off the bed.

“Huh?”

Her movement halted as she looked at her foot. Her right foot was tightly wrapped in a bandage. Judging by the cooling sensation, it seemed he had also applied a pain relief patch.

“I don’t think there have been any pain relief patches here.”

The only thing she had at home was headache medicine. She had never bought a patch or bandage like this.

Carefully, Seowoo stepped onto the floor. Thankfully, it was much less painful than the day before.

As she cautiously walked out, her eyes caught sight of a shopping bag on the living room table. She slowly approached it and picked up a small piece of paper.

[Eat breakfast before you leave. I put a compress on it when you sleep so it’ll get better. I also bought some patches, so change them when needed, and go to the hospital if it gets worse. I’m off to work.]

“…He’s like a different person.”

Seowoo muttered to herself as she read the note. 

Imagining Jiwook washing her, dressing her in a robe, and sitting at her feet to apply a patch seemed almost unbelievable. 

But the handwriting on the note confirmed it was from Jiwook.

“It must have been his secretary who bought these.”

She couldn’t believe he went out and bought these himself.

Still, the thought that he had taken care of everything and even left a note was somewhat astonishing. Thanks to the firmly fixed bandage, it didn’t hurt too much when she walked.

Peeking inside the shopping bag, she noticed an insulated bag. Seowoo sat down on the sofa and pulled it out. Opening the bag, she found warm sesame seaweed soup inside.

“This…”

Seeing it, Seowoo furrowed her brows and fell into thought. 

When was it?

It reminded her of a time before they were married when they had eaten together.

“Ah!”

It was when they had ordered room service at a hotel. She had wanted rice and ordered sesame seaweed soup.

‘I usually don’t like sesame, but this is really tasty.’

She had remarked then. Seowoo quickly checked the shopping bag again. Her eyes widened a little when she saw the hotel logo on the black shopping bag.

“Ah…”

While she was in a daze, her cell phone vibrated next to her. Seowoo checked the caller ID and answered it immediately.

“Hello?”

• Where are you?

“…Home.”

• How’s your ankle?

Her heart skipped a beat at the natural concern in his voice. Seowoo stared blankly at the soup packaging as she replied.

“It’s okay. You didn’t buy this yourself, did you?”

• I did buy it.

“The patch?”

• Yeah. The soup was a bit far, so I had my secretary get it. Eat before you go, and don’t skip meals all day again.

She was speechless.

Seowoo pursed her lips and clutched the soup case tightly.

• Hello? Are you still there?

“Ah, yes. But… why did you buy this?”

• You said it was tasty. Remember?

A small gasp escaped between her parted lips.

Seowoo was unable to respond.

• Good luck with your shoot. And don’t get too touchy with your fellow actor, keep it moderate.

“…”

• I’ll call you later. Bye.

After the brief call, Seowoo sat there, dazed for a long time.
