I Couldn’t Stop
Lee Sihyun steadied herself after staring at Signiel Penthouse, then sipped her drink, trying to calm the shock still buzzing through her chest.
She knew it was an unbelievably nice place. Even so, that wasn’t what stood out to her right now.
Was Oppa here at the bar for her sake, or for Suho’s?
At first, she’d been so happy, thinking he’d come to see her. But after watching him take care of Suho, she’d felt strangely embarrassed instead.
Oppa didn’t seem to feel anything at all, so what was she even doing, getting all mixed up by herself like this?
She took another sip, and only then did she really start looking around.
He’s seriously rich...
She’d already realized that when they went on the trip to Japan. But now it hit her all over again: he was far richer than she’d ever imagined.
Just the car keys alone—how many were there? And if the people talking beside her were right, each one of them was a supercar.
Wasn’t this pretty much the textbook version of the life people imagined for the rich?
It was the kind of scene she’d only ever seen in dramas.
“...”
The thought made her worry a little. What if Oppa misunderstood?
She hadn’t developed feelings for him because he was rich.
Or had I...?
Thinking about it now, maybe her heart had moved because of his wealth after all.
Before that, hadn’t she barely thought about him at all?
At first, she’d assumed she’d fallen for him because they’d grown close on the trip and had so much fun together...
But weren’t all of those experiences only possible because he had money?
What...?
By now, even she couldn’t tell what was what anymore.
Had she always been this shallow?
As she thought about it, she kept drinking.
One drink after another, her mind growing more muddled by the second, until time quietly slipped away.
One by one, people left.
And before she knew it, only she and Oppa were left behind.
She’d originally planned to go home, and since Suho was heading the same way, she knew she was supposed to leave with him.
Still...
She wanted to talk to Oppa. Her heart was too tangled to sort out on her own.
Then, out of nowhere—
“Yes...”
Oppa suggested that maybe she should just stay the night here.
She’d wanted to keep talking with him for a long time, and with so many rooms in the penthouse, agreeing didn’t feel like much of a burden at all.
“This is...”
“The hotel staff will come by later and clean it up.”
“Ah...”
That was kind of amazing.
A little while later, Oppa brought her clothes she could wear comfortably.
A slightly oversized top and some easy training pants.
“Um... can I go shower first? I feel really gross.”
“Sure. There are plenty of bathrooms, so you can use whichever one you want.”
“Then I’ll use the one here.”
“Okay. I’ll bring you a toothbrush too.”
“...Okay.”
“A friend comes by sometimes, so I keep some things stocked.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Hold on.”
Oh, so a friend visited sometimes.
Well, if she lived in a house this nice, she probably would’ve invited friends over all the time too.
She took the toothbrush from Oppa and went into the bathroom.
Carefully, she took off her clothes and folded them neatly.
But then...
...
What was she supposed to do about her underwear?
It would feel gross to shower and then put on the same underwear again.
Hmm...
It wasn’t like she’d be doing anything in particular anyway.
And with so many rooms, maybe she should just skip underwear altogether?
For now, she decided not to wear anything on the bottom.
It felt too unpleasant.
That left the top, though...
...What should I do?
She agonized over it.
It was too obvious if she left it off.
...I’ll just wear it for a little while.
She decided to keep it on only until she finished talking with Oppa.
***
Sihyun went into the bathroom to shower.
“Hah...”
I tried to calm the pounding in my chest.
Up until now, every time I’d slept with someone, it had been after I was sure of the woman’s feelings.
But Sihyun was still a mystery.
She seemed to like me, sure, but I still didn’t know if it was enough for her to give me her body.
That uncertainty made my heart race more than ever.
For now, I hurried through my own shower too.
If I was the only one sitting around feeling gross, nothing was going to happen the way it should.
I washed up quickly, changed into something comfortable, and waited for Sihyun to come out.
Girls always took longer than guys to get ready, so I still had plenty of time.
She’s really cute...
I thought of her walking into the bathroom with the clothes I’d given her clutched tightly against her chest.
How could a person be that cute?
No wonder everyone around her kept trying to get close.
Suho really would have to look after her.
I’d even lent her my car so she could ride comfortably, so there probably wouldn’t be any major problems.
After a while, I heard the sound of a hair dryer from the room.
She must’ve finished showering. If I was being honest, I wanted to sneak a glance.
But I didn’t have the courage.
I didn’t want to push things and do something reckless after coming this far.
The hair dryer stopped, and not long after, Sihyun came out.
She was wearing the clothes I’d given her.
“W-Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you’re cute...”
“W-What?”
“The clothes are a little big.”
“Well, they are yours...”
As she said, since she was wearing my clothes, they were obviously huge on her.
The top fell all the way to her thighs, and one shoulder showed a little.
Her sleeves covered her hands completely, and the pants were the same—so big she’d had to fold the cuffs over several times.
It was a dangerously cute sight.
What man could stay calm after seeing that?
Before I knew it, the words had slipped out of my mouth.
“Where am I supposed to sleep?”
“Hmm... the master bedroom will probably be the most comfortable. Want to come with me?”
“M-Master bedroom?”
“You’re a guest, so you should sleep in the best place.”
“...I’m fine either way.”
“Ah, is it bad because it’s where I usually sleep?”
“N-No, it’s not that...”
She lowered her head, flustered.
That had been close. I almost pulled her into my arms without thinking.
I showed her to the master bedroom, and when Sihyun climbed onto the bed, I sat down on the edge beside her too.
“Are you going to sleep right away?”
“...I’m not really sleepy yet.”
“Then do you want to talk for a bit before we sleep?”
“Y-Yes, please.”
My eyes kept sneaking over to her without me meaning to.
Even though the top was oversized, her curves still showed through. Sihyun had the kind of body that seemed to have everything a woman should have.
Of course she did—she took after her aunt, after all...
She might as well have been blessed by genetics themselves.
“Hmm... but Oppa, how did you become this successful? You seem amazing.”
“I just got lucky.”
“Come on, you can’t get this successful from luck alone. It would be hard even if you won the lottery several times.”
“I was lucky enough to win the lottery dozens of times.”
“Tch, liar.”
It was the truth.
I’d bought Bitcoin when I was young by pure chance, then forgotten all about it—until it suddenly became a huge sensation after a massive rally.
And then, at just the right time, my mom happened to find the USB and call me about it...
The odds of that were no different from getting struck by lightning over and over again.
And luck had kept following me after that, too.
We were chatting aimlessly about that when—
“Oppa.”
“Yeah?”
“Was I misunderstanding things?”
“...What do you mean?”
Sihyun asked carefully, her voice thick with embarrassment.
I felt it instantly. This was the important moment.
“I keep thinking about it by myself, but I still can’t tell. My head’s a complete mess. I guess I’m not used to this kind of thing.”
“...”
“On the trip, I thought you were interested in me. I really did. But now I’m so confused. It’s hard to reach a conclusion on my own.”
“...”
“Did I misunderstand? Was I the one who rushed ahead too far...?”
Though her voice stayed calm, her face had gone red enough to look like it might burst.
I answered on impulse, without even thinking.
“Yeah. I like you.”
“...Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Then why do you keep making me so confused...? Do you know how much I’ve thought about this all by myself?”
I couldn’t take it anymore.
How could any man stay calm when Sihyun looked at him like that and asked a question like this?
And for me, someone who already had feelings for her, it was even more impossible.
“...I won’t confuse you anymore.”
“...”
I climbed over her and settled on top of her.
She looked startled.
Come to think of it, she really was beautiful. How could her bare face be this pretty?
Her skin was snow-white, her lips were like ripe cherries, and even her long eyelashes looked as if she were wearing makeup.
Her bare face was prettier than most celebrities looked with full makeup on.
“O-Oppa...”
She was clearly flustered.
Slowly, I leaned in.
And kissed her, so there’d be no more confusion.
It was incredibly soft. This was the first time I’d ever realized a simple kiss could feel this good.
Sihyun’s eyes widened, her pupils shaking violently.
She seemed shocked.
I cupped the back of her neck and tilted her head.
Then I gently sucked on her upper lip.
Her eyes slowly closed.
After that, I parted her lips with mine and slipped my tongue inside.
At first, her teeth were clenched shut. After I kept teasing her lips, sucking on the upper and lower ones a few times while trying to get in, her mouth slowly opened and her tongue came out to meet mine.
Her tongue was awkward and unsure.
But somehow, that made it feel even sexier.
A moan slipped out.
While Sihyun was too dazed to think straight, I moved my hand and slipped it under her top.
I felt her bra. My hand found her breasts beneath it.
They were full. How could a body this small hold breasts that big?
Her nipples were already hard too.
Using two fingers, I unfastened Sihyun’s bra.
A moment later, my hand that had been touching her chest moved downward.
Sihyun, still kissing me without even understanding what was happening, looked shocked.
I didn’t stop.
When my hand slipped inside her pants—
“...”
“O-Oppa.”
I realized she wasn’t wearing panties.
My fingers touched Sihyun’s pussy right away.
As I slid them lower, I found her cunt already thoroughly wet.
“Th-That’s... ahh...”
I couldn’t stop.
