Chapter 2

The next day, when I woke up, I smiled with the sense of déjà vu that filled me.

The smell of eggs and coffee wafted into the room, accompanied by Hyun-Suk's calm and beautiful voice humming something I couldn't understand.

I mustered up the courage to finally stand up and grab a towel to cover part of my body, as I was still naked. My eyes were still adjusting to the light of the new day streaming through the window, but my stomach growled in harmony with my heart, which melted as I entered the living room.

"Good morning, my Amaryllis" Hyun-Suk said, finishing placing the eggs on the plates. "Are you hungry?"

I observed him and laughed. Hyun-Suk was naked just like the night before, but he was wearing a white apron, which looked funny because it didn't cover his butt.

"Very hungry," I said, sitting on one of the stools at the kitchen island and leaning over to grab one of the toasts with butter that he had made. "Why are you wearing an apron?"

I saw Hyun-Suk still pour coffee into two cups and place them right in front of me. Then he moved like a cat, stopping by my side.

I took advantage of this and circled my arms around his waist, pulling him close, while resting my head on his chest, listening to the calm beats of his heart.

"Because I still needed protection. I found this apron in one of the cabinets; I think Hajun brought it."

I felt his fingers glide through my hair, which made me sigh, wishing I could go back to bed and cuddle with him some more.

"Hajun?" But then I looked at him. "So he already..."

"He used the apartment, but it was for a meeting."

"No sex?"

"None," he laughed. "What will you do today?" he asked, stroking my hair.

"I don't know. I think I'll rest a little more and then call my friends; I need to dye my hair. Get rid of this color..."

"What do you mean?" Hyun-Suk furrowed his brow, sitting next to me.

"My grandma might not like to see me like this, and I don't want to upset her when she finally wakes up."

Hyun-Suk stared at me as I spoke, showing nothing but attention. His hand moved up to my face, caressing my cheek.

"Do you really want to do that?"

I shrugged. It's not that I want to, but I don't want to be more of a problem.

"I have to," I replied.

"No, Jaejun... what you need is to be there with her, just that. But you don't need to change who you are for that. Your grandma surely loves you too much, and she won't care about anything in you other than the love you'll be giving her."

"I don't know, Hyun..."

"Think it over calmly; I'll support you in whatever you decide. But for now, let's eat, okay?"

I nodded with a smile, watching him place one of the plates closer to me and then fetch the cup.

I stood up to go back to the bathroom and brush my teeth before eating. I also remembered that I hadn't even washed my face, but I was grateful that there wasn't a single sleep crust in my eyes. I still didn't feel ready for Hyun-Suk to see me with eye boogers.

But when I returned, we ate in silence, smiling and exchanging affectionate touches. Hyun-Suk always stroked my chin, occasionally moving to my cheek, making me feel good.

After that, it was him who insisted on doing the dishes. I watched him start singing softly again and rested my head on the marble countertop, enjoying the view.

"Your voice is so beautiful, Hyun-Suk," I said, but Hyun-Suk shook his head.

"It's nothing."

"Of course it is; I'll show you." I got up to get my phone and opened the camera. "Come on, sing again."

Hyun-Suk laughed when I pointed the phone at him. The video started a bit shaky, but I got closer to capture his face even better.

"Go on, Hyun. Please..."

"No," he said calmly, turning his face away. I kept the camera on him, making him laugh even more.

"Say hi, Hyun."

"Jaejun, stop it." He tried to grab my phone, but I dodged, causing him to spill foam on the floor. "Look what you did."

"I didn't," I defended myself, laughing. "It was you."

He narrowed his eyes, and I kept recording him.

"You're going to clean it."

"No, I won't," I retorted, making him raise an eyebrow. "What will you do, huh? Punish me?" I teased.

Hyun-Suk took a few seconds to look at me seriously, then he started to walk in my direction.

"No!" I cried, running through the apartment, seeking shelter behind the couch. "Hyun, stop, you'll get me dirty!"

Hyun-Suk takes a few seconds to look at me with a serious expression, then he starts taking steps toward me.

"No!" I exclaim, running through the apartment, seeking shelter behind the couch. "Hyun, stop, you'll get me dirty!"

Hyun-Suk doesn't care; he just chases after me, with a wide smile on his face as his hands drip with foam, making a mess everywhere he goes.

"Stop, we're naked!" I shout, but his laughter only increases.

I try to escape, but even though he has long legs, Hyun-Suk is faster, and I feel him hold me firmly by the waist, throwing my body onto the couch with force, covering me right after.

"I got you," he says, pushing me down on my stomach with my butt in the air.

"Hyun!" I try to break free, but he holds my hands tightly, and even though his are smooth, he doesn't give me any room to escape.

"You challenged me, didn't you?" Hyun-Suk asks close to my ear. My hands are pinned above my butt, and he does it with just one hand.

"Hyun..."

"That's not how you talk to me, is it?"

I bite my lower lip, sighing as I feel his body press against mine.

"Sir..."

"Much better."

"Let me go, you silly!"

"Hey, hey, hey... it's not like that."

"Aish!"

"You're a little brat, you know?"

"Brat?" I tilt my head to the side, watching over my shoulder as Hyun-Suk bites his lower lip while his body hovers over mine. His erection gliding against my butt.

"A naughty one," he answers softly, reaching his free hand to my nape, pulling my hair from there. "You can't act like that or you'll be punished..."

I let out a small moan, feeling his semi-erection touching me, causing an immediate response from me.

"Will you punish me?" I ask equally low, feeling Hyun-Suk slide his tongue along my skin. "Please, sir. Punish me."

I hear Hyun-Suk chuckle softly, thrusting provocatively into me.

I moan softly, being lifted up and looking at him. Hyun-Suk releases my hands and pulls me towards him, turning me to face him on the couch.

Hyun-Suk removes the apron he's wearing and smiles when he sees me completely aroused for him. He discards the apron and climbs back on top of me, wasting no time in taking my mouth for himself.

He kisses me with urgency, making me moan and touch his nape.
