The moment morning hit, I sprang awake and dragged Hana straight to find the man. She was still half-asleep, grumbling complaints at me the whole way, but I couldn't wait even a second longer to see him.
A perfect 5-out-of-5 sweetness was waiting for me!
I'd barely slept a wink from the excitement—there was no time to hesitate.
-Mwah
"Sleep well?"
But what greeted me instead... was the lightest, freshest morning kiss imaginable. Totally unexpected.
"......Huh?"
"Up early, huh? You look tired—go splash some water on your face."
Too cruel... How could he? Betrayal hit me so hard my hands and feet shook. I glared at him, but he said it made him uncomfortable, so I squeezed my eyes shut and parted my lips just enough for his tongue to slip in. And yet... it ended just like that? So anticlimactically? No way—I can't savor it without any saliva!
Stunned, I wandered off to wash my face in a daze and came back.
"Haa, chuup, mmph... haa, Ajussi... ngh, churp, chu..."
And waiting for me... were the two of them locked in a deep kiss.
"Ngh, chuup... gulp, puha... haaaa... kissing feels so good..."
Hana and the man embracing, lips pressed together, tongues intertwining. No lewd groping like yesterday, but the sticky intensity between them had my heart pounding. So hot! No, before that—totally unfair!
"Churp, chuup, chu... ngh, haa... churu, chu... haa, more, moreee..."
Ahh, envy city. Why give all that saliva just to Hana? Watching her cling to him with those sloppy sounds sparked pure jealousy. She doesn't even care about gourmet stuff... she'd just say "tasty" and move on. And yet she's getting a mouthful of 5-star saliva like that... so heartbreaking!
If it were me, I'd savor it properly... not just gulp it down, but roll it around my tongue over and over, truly tasting and appreciating the man's saliva until I understood every nuance... This was so unfair. My jealousy boiled into anger, and before I knew it, tears welled up.
"Haaa, Ajussi... but hey... we're thinking of getting some coffee too, ngh... think that's possible?"
"Coffee?"
"Yeeah... hehe, as a dessert."
"Possible, sure... but you know it's not free, right?"
"Of course! How much?"
"Ngh, well, I haven't really thought about it... oh, right. How about you two kiss for it? Haha, kidding. Coffee's on the house... huh?"
"Mmph?!"
"Haa... like this, haa, churp... that do it?"
So when the chance came, I pounced on Hana. Kissing my friend felt a bit awkward, but I couldn't pass up licking the man's saliva off her lips. I'd been waiting for this 5-out-of-5 treat since yesterday!
"H-Harina?! Ngh, w-wait... mmph, chuup, haa... yaaah!"
"Hanaya, churp, chu, churuuup... haa, churp, chuup, gulp... haa, chuup..."
"Ajussi said it was a joke, haang, chuup, ngh..."
I nibbled her small, cute lips, flicking my tongue to lap them up. Then, unable to hold back, I sucked her lips into mine, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her closer... haaang, yes! This is it! The sweet, ecstatic, radiant flavor I'd been craving since yesterday! The man's saliva!
"Harina, youuu! Haa... haa... I said stoppp!"
But disappointingly, his saliva faded fast, leaving me deflated. I got shoved back to my spot. Haa... wanted to taste more... Instead of throwing a fit like this, I should've just gone straight for the man...
"Yaa! What the hell was that outta nowhere?! You scared the crap outta me!"
"Ngh?"
"What ngh?! Don't tell me you're a lesbian?! What was that just now?!"
"Uh... uhhh?!"
No, I must've lost my mind. For real.
I never meant to go that far, even for a 5-star dessert... but snapping back to reality, I'd just finished kissing Hana. A kiss I hadn't even shared with Siwoo yet. Haa, this is why delicious food is dangerous?
No good. I need to kiss the man ASAP and regain my composure. At this rate, I might actually go nuts. With that resolve, I eyed his lips and smacked mine hungrily.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"Waaah, lunch! Been waiting!"
"That's it? Haa, unbelievable. We heading out again?"
"C'mon, Hana. Just kidding. Heh heh, thanks. I was kinda harsh yesterday, huh? Sorry. Did a lot of reflecting after you left."
"Hmph, good."
After apologizing to Hana and getting forgiven, I grabbed the lunch and headed to room 305. Seeing Siwoo's face felt awkward, but I couldn't let him starve. This seemed like a good chance for a sorta-reconciliation.
"......Thanks, Harina."
"Ngh..."
Unfortunately, no sign of that at all. Those two fought just as bad yesterday and already made up... but our couple can't even make eye contact. At this rate, we might really break up.
Whew, what now?
We were awkward like strangers, leaning against the wall and silently unpacking the lunch to eat. Reconciliation would be smart for the future, but Siwoo showed no reaction today either.
Hmm, should I make the first move?
I did kiss another guy... but that was unavoidable, right? Let's call that kiss invalid and start over from the beginning? Our real first kiss is still waiting. So even now...
...Ugh, I sighed without realizing while mentally rehearsing what to say to Siwoo. Whatever it was, it wasn't my place after desperately trying to deep-kiss another guy moments ago. No matter how tasty his saliva... tangling tongues with him would be betraying Siwoo.
"Sleep okay? You look beat."
"Not much... but I'm fine. Holding up."
"Good... then..."
"Ngh..."
But hey, if we're talking betrayal, wasn't Siwoo first? He ignored me despite all those chances. So even if he blamed me now, I could stand tall.
A kiss we have to do anyway, and a deep one someday... enjoying it a little shouldn't hurt. Ignoring such delicious saliva right in front of me would be weirder, right? And as my boyfriend, he should understand what his girlfriend wants. That's love.
"Whew, thanks for the meal."
"Ngh?! Oh, yeah..."
"Alright, Harina. Heading out."
"Got it..."
Haa, no clue. Sorry, mad, this, that—thinking about Siwoo just made my head throb. He used to make me happy just by being near... now the rose-tinted glasses are off, and it's not the same.
"Don't get hurt... be careful."
Still... since Siwoo saved me, I can't stay mad forever.
Resolving to forgive my denser-than-me boyfriend again today, I grabbed his departing hand. His always reliable, trustworthy hand. Yeah, this hand gave me strength. So this time, I'll give him some courage. I squeezed it tight and sent him off with a "be safe."
"Yeah! Trust me! I'll come back alive—for you if nothing else!"
"Hey, dude! No jinxing it—grab your golf club. And Harina, no worries. Bro's got a badass plan lined up. So you and Hana just chill. We'll handle it."
"Ahaha... still, be careful, Oppa."
"You got it. See ya, Hana, Harina!"
Whewww, I can trust him, right? Shaking off my worries, I headed to the director's office with Hana. The man waited there with coffee. Mmm, coffee scent after almost a week—fancy stuff?! My slightly down mood lifted.
"Here? Got your coffee. Saw a nice morning show, so I splurged on the good stuff."
"Ngh... don't get weird ideas. I like guys."
"Hah, Hana. It was a mistake?!"
"Yaa! You call sucking your friend's lips a mistake?!"
"No, that's..."
"Kids, enough arguing. We're bored—wanna watch some drama?"
"Drama?"
"Yeah, Chaebol Youngest Daughter. Found something fun on the set-top box. You got nothing else to do—better than worrying while waiting, right? Enjoy the wait instead."
Whew, yeah. Worrying won't change anything now. Dropping my concerns, I decided to trust time would fix it and just wait. After a hellish week... a little relaxation's fine.
Excusing it to myself like that, I flopped onto the plush sofa and sipped the coffee. Haa, delicious. Not quite man-saliva level, but satisfying enough.
