"Let's see."

After sending Seoyeon to the bathroom, I turned my gaze to the bed. Sure enough, there were stains everywhere, a testament to how intense our lovemaking had been the night before. Especially the bloodstain right in the center of the sheet—it was proof that until yesterday, she had been a pure virgin.

Am I her first man? A strange sense of pride welled up from deep in my chest.

"Better clean this ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠up before noona sees it." Thinking she might get embarrassed if she spotted it, I quickly stripped the bed sheet. I wanted to wash the blanket too, but I had no idea if it would even fit in the washing machine, and there was no way the drying rack had space for something that big.

I carried the sheet to the living room and looked for the washing machine.

"There it is."

Glancing around, I spotted the laundry room attached to the kitchen in the distance. I headed straight there, tossed the sheet into the machine, and selected quick wash.

"...51 minutes, huh."

That seemed about right. Besides, we were already late—being a little later wouldn't make much difference. Seoyeon had only panicked a bit at first; after that, she'd accepted reality and seemed pretty relaxed about it.

If it was really urgent, she wouldn't have even showered.

Chuckling softly, I went back to the room, picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, and got dressed. Then I folded back the blanket, flung open the window, and shook it out vigorously.

"...This'll do for now."

The blanket stains bugged me a little, but there wasn't much I could do about them right now. Clicking my tongue, I folded it neatly and tidied up the room.

"What're you doing?"

As I finished cleaning, Seoyeon came back in, towel-drying her wet hair—she must have just finished showering.

"......"

She approached me lightly on her toes, her figure fully exposed to my view. She looked just like a fairy. I swallowed hard and took a small step back.

"What's wrong? Your face is all red."

"N-Noona... aren't you late for work?"

"I just called in and took the morning off."

With that, she nestled softly into my arms.

"...Want noona to wash you?"

Whispering in a sultry voice, she slyly caressed my cock, tempting me. From her demeanor, it looked like she was revving up again. And of course, I was losing all reason to her seduction.

"Sounds good."

I answered without hesitation and stripped off my clothes. We headed to the bathroom together, where I enjoyed her soft touch as she washed me. Especially when she stroked my cock and kissed it—made me think this might actually be paradise.

Anyway, using the gauze on my shoulder as an excuse, I only cleaned my lower body thoroughly before washing my face and calling it a simple shower.

"What do you want to eat?"

As we stepped out, Seoyeon clung to my arm like she'd been waiting, asking the question. The feel of her soft breasts pressing against me was so good, I almost blurted out, 'I want to eat you, noona.' But I barely held back the impulse and opened my mouth.

"Something simple, like cold noodles."

"Okay, I'll get ready to go out."

She headed straight to the dressing room. Meanwhile, I got dressed, went to the laundry room, and pulled out the now-finished sheet. I took out the drying rack leaning against the wall, unfolded it, and hung the sheet carefully so it wouldn't wrinkle.

"You're pretty good at that."

Her admiring voice came from behind. I turned to her and replied,

"Any guy who's done his military service knows how."

"You did this in the army too?"

"Who else ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠was gonna do the laundry?"

"I thought the ajummas handled it."

Tilting her head curiously, she asked. I explained patiently, like I was gently scolding her.

"It's all done by the soldiers."

"Really? That must suck."

She didn't seem to fully grasp ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠it, replying somewhat indifferently. Well, only those who've been there really get it. Even I had no idea how hellish the army was before enlisting. Just thinking about my active duty days still gives me chills.

"Anyway, let's head out."

"Yeah."

After hanging the sheet, we left the house together.

"Is there a cold noodle place nearby?"

I asked as we stood in front of the elevator. Seoyeon thumped her chest proudly, like trust me only.

"Of course! Just follow me."

She wasn't planning to drag me to some fancy place again, was she? I mean, I'd love that, but mooching too much makes a guy look shameless.

"I'll pay this time, so take me somewhere cheap."

"Nah, leave this to noona."

She poked my side with her elbow playfully. I chuckled and shot back,

"I wanna act like a man sometimes."

"......"

I wrapped my arm around her slender waist and pulled her close. She melted right into my embrace. Her face flushed bright red—it was that habit of hers when she got flustered.

She was so cute, I gave her a quick kiss on the lips before we stepped into the arriving elevator. We rode down to the underground parking, got in the car. By then, she'd calmed down a lot; her face was back to normal, though her cheeks were still a bit pink.

She looks just like a newlywed.

I must have been totally lovestruck. Just two days ago, I'd thought she was a huge pain in the ass. I swallowed a laugh that was about to burst out and glanced at her. Noticing my gaze, she grumbled in a pouty voice, 'Stop staring.'

I had no choice but to look out the window. If I kept staring, I'd probably get smacked somewhere—or she'd pounce on me again. In fact, while we were stopped at lights, she kept caressing my thigh, sexually harassing me. It was magnificent harassment. Of course, I didn't let on outwardly. Who knew what she'd do to me in the car if I did.

"Here we are."

In that giddy atmosphere, we safely arrived at the cold noodle place.

"Nice."

It was a regular spot where even I could afford to pay. Smiling faintly, I complimented her as we went inside. We ordered plain cold noodles, ate them plainly, and chatted like a normal couple.

This is dating.

It was ordinary, but fun. Especially Seoyeon, giggling at my stories—she was so lovable.

"We're dating, right?"

As we paid and stepped out, she suddenly grabbed my hand and asked. I squeezed her hand back and replied,

"Of course we are. What, you think it was just a one-night stand?"

"N-No!"

She yelled and shook her head vigorously. Chuckling, I walked with her toward the car and said,

"Day one, then."

"Wh-What?"

"It's been one day since we started dating."

"Ah...!"

Her eyes went wide, and she let out an exclamation. Then she murmured, 'You're right,' and burst into a gooey smile. She laughed so happily that I ended up grinning foolishly too. We stood there, smiling at each other like idiots, before getting in the car.

"I'll drop you at the hospital."

"No, noona, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠you should head to work. Just drop me at the nearest station."

I politely declined. But she insisted stubbornly on driving me all the way, wanting to. With a helpless expression, I said, 'Thanks, noona.'

She beamed like she hadn't just been so insistent, saying slyly, 'Trust only noona.'

Does she like being called noona that much?

Chuckling, I reached out and stroked her cheek. She leaned into my hand affectionately, clearly enjoying it. It felt great. Just being like this warmed a corner of my heart. It was different from the feeling during sex.

...Saw a lot of her sides today, just like yesterday.

As I toyed with her cheek, the hospital came into view ahead. Time to stop playing around, unfortunately. Seeing the car heading into the parking lot, I quickly spoke up.

"Drop me here."

"I'll go all the way in."

"No, it's fine. You're busy."

"I'm not."

She turned the wheel and pulled into the lot anyway.

"Thanks, noona."

I felt grateful for how much she was doing for me. She shrugged with her usual haughty look, parked the car, and turned to me.

"Kiss me."

I obliged immediately.

"...Mmm, yeah. Mmmph......"

Caressing her cheek and shoulder, I kissed her repeatedly before slowly pulling back.

"I'll get going, noona."

"Yeah......"

She nodded with a reluctant expression. Smiling softly, I gave her one more kiss on the lips and whispered,

"Drive safe to work."

"I will."

She replied with a look like she was totally smitten. Don't wanna say goodbye. She was so adorable, I didn't want to part. But we had to—she had work, and I needed to head in. Pushing down the regret, I opened the door and got out. She drove off with a lingering glance.
