I'm scared. Witnessing that incredibly vivid kiss right in front of my eyes left me trembling uncontrollably. A kiss was far more lewd and explicit than I had ever imagined. There was something strangely erotic about it that no words like "pressing lips together and entwining tongues" could ever capture.
That's why people were so obsessed and passionate about kissing.
"Take care of me."
And now... I was about to experience it firsthand.
"Hah..."
Not too strong, not too weak... the man pulled me into his arms. I tried to resist faintly, but of course, it was useless against him. From the start, he held me close and gently caressed my face. The mix of discomfort and warmth muddled my mind.
Was he perhaps being considerate of me?
When I opened my eyes and looked at him in surprise at this unexpected intimacy, the man smiled brightly and stroked my hair. As if he were my boyfriend or something. My mood soured instantly, and I pursed my lips in protest.
"Wh-what are you... Mmph?! Ha, mm... ha-mm..."
But... as if taking that as a signal, he immediately covered my lips with his.
"Mmph... mm, mm... ha, mm!"
"I didn't expect you to ask for it first."
"Mmm! Hah, mm... mmph!"
The bizarre, awkward sensation was something I'd never felt before. I couldn't resist at all as he nibbled on my lips. Reduced to his plaything in an instant, I just stupidly teared up. The thought that this was my first kiss was unbearable. A kiss with no affection whatsoever... it was just disgusting and repulsive.
"Hm? That wasn't what you meant?"
"Ha... hng, ugh... Of course not, hng... it wasn't."
"Mm, sorry. I must have misunderstood."
"Hng... hng..."
"Ha-rin, don't cry. I'll stop teasing."
"Mm? Ha... mm, yeah... ha, mm... hng..."
However... the next kiss was nothing like that.
"Ha-mm... smack, smack... hng, smack... mm..."
The man softly pressed his lips to mine, first sucking gently on my upper lip, then my lower. A pleasant shiver ran through me at the sight of him tasting me so tenderly. It felt completely different from the previous one.
"Hah, mm... smack, smack... ha, smooch..."
Of course, it was still uncomfortable... but I could sense his gentleness seeping in unknowingly, and the anxiety faded. I could clearly tell he was seeing me as a woman, not just a toy.
"Mmm... smack, smack... hng..."
This must be what kissing Siwoo would feel like... Once I relaxed a little, my mind eased. With some leeway, I could even look at the man whose lips were pressed to mine. He was gazing at me with eyes full of affection...
Ah, our eyes met.
"Haha. Got it. That's enough for today."
"Huh? Ha... already?"
"How can I keep going when you're glaring at me like that?"
Ah, no... I wasn't glaring... But there was no need to correct him. It was a relief that the kiss stopped before it got any more indecent. I stepped back and bowed my head politely. Then, I felt something sticky and sweet lingering between my lips.
Could this be... his saliva?
Startled, I swallowed it without thinking.
"Ha... haa..."
And I was amazed.
His saliva... was sweeter than I expected. The ecstatic flavor sliding down my throat nearly made me moan. It was so addictive I wanted to keep tasting it nonstop. Regretting that it was already gone, I licked my lips.
If we did a deep kiss... I'd get more of this saliva...
...What the hell am I thinking?! Snapping out of it, I shook my head vigorously. It must be hunger making me think crazy thoughts. Eating the lunchbox would fix it.
With that thought, I ended the one and only first kiss of my life.
"We're back... Ah, what?! You ate all that already?!"
"Gotta eat to keep my strength up. Urp... We've gotta move tomorrow—think one lunchbox is gonna cut it?"
"Jeez..."
"Quit nagging and hand that over quick."
"Oppa... your girlfriend just kissed another guy, and you're totally fine? The lunchbox matters more than me? Can't even comfort me... What? Just hand over the lunchbox? Fuck, is that what a boyfriend says?!"
"Nooo... You looked fine, so I thought you were okay..."
"Ha... Do I look okay right now?"
"Sigh, alright, alright. Come here. I'll give you a top-up kiss. That work? Our Hana worked hard kissing that perv. Come to oppa. I'll make you forget."
"Hey... you bastard! You call that saying something?!"
"Ha, Hana? Nooo... I was trying to play it off cheerfully for your sake..."
"Shut the fuck up! I'm leaving! Don't follow! Eat this damn lunchbox yourself!"
Jin-ho oppa... he's really clueless sometimes. I could understand Hana's feelings. Even if she was thinking of breaking up, some affection must remain—but hearing that would kill off whatever was left. Jin-ho oppa was in the wrong this time.
"Hyung... wasn't that too much?"
"Argh, I thought I was smoothing it over... Damn it... But Ha-rin, something happen? Hana's not the type to curse like that..."
"No, hyung! Of course something happened! You joking right now?"
"Huh? Hey man, not you too!"
And... Siwoo was in the wrong too. Why was he still checking my mood? Shouldn't he run over and hug me right now? I kissed a guy I didn't even want to... How could he be so indifferent?
I resented Siwoo as he glanced at me while approaching Jin-ho oppa.
I'd felt a twinge of guilt for my weird thoughts earlier... but seeing frustrating Siwoo made them vanish. I had no reason to feel sorry to Siwoo for kissing that guy.
"Um, Ha-rin. You should check on Hana at least..."
"Ah... yeah. Okay. I'll take this for her share then."
"Thanks. Appreciate it."
But... as he said that, Siwoo's gaze fixed on my lips. He was pretending not to care, but his actions gave it away. My first kiss must be bothering him.
Even so... what good does it do if he just cares quietly? No reaction at all. Feeling frustrated, I grabbed the lunchbox and left room 305. Siwoo followed belatedly and bowed his head to me.
"Sorry, Ha-rin... that must've been rough. Ha... my fault..."
"It's fine... it was bearable."
"I... I hesitated and..."
"I said it's fine... Yeah, I'll head up now. Worried about Hana."
"Sigh... sorry. Sleep well... see you tomorrow."
"Yeah. See you, Siwoo."
Silly Siwoo. Missing this chance too? Hana's up on the fourth floor, Jin-ho oppa's eating in the classroom. A rare moment alone together... guess it doesn't click for him.
Did his feelings for me cool off in the meantime?
Maybe he's sulking alone because I kissed another guy...
Nah, probably not. He's just dense, leaving me alone out of consideration. I didn't like that either, but since it's Siwoo... I decided to understand my boyfriend this time too.
But that guy... he wouldn't have let it slide. If he were my boyfriend, he wouldn't miss the timing. No matter who was around...
-Rattle
Sigh, stupid thoughts. Still hungry, making me think weird stuff. I sighed deeply and headed to the fourth floor. Eating should improve my mood a bit.
"Not eating? Give it to me if not."
"Ah... I will. Gotta eat. Gotta keep strength up..."
"Dude, loosen up your face. That bugging you that much?"
"Then hyung, you're really not bothered?"
"Fuck yeah, it pisses me off. But what can ya do? Treat it like a natural disaster and move on. The more you dwell, the more it hurts. So just let it slide moderately."
"Sigh... easier said than done. But hyung, you okay?"
"Hm? Ah, Hana? She's fine, fine. She'll be good as new by tomorrow. Right now, she's just pissed—time heals this shit. So you too, man, don't worry like some chick. Makes you look weak, kills the vibe."
"Think so?"
"Yeah. Guys can push hard. That's what makes 'em reliable. Women are wired to fall for that. Even if it seems reckless, going strong is right."
"Hm, got it... You're the best, hyung! I'll trust you."
"Kid... skip the flattery, eat."
Today too, Han Siwoo gained baseless confidence from love advice from Choi Jin-ho. Though things got awkward with his girlfriend, he'd be back to normal tomorrow—he deluded himself like that and ate in a good mood.
