Chapter 426: 10. The Final Story (7/9)
Chapter 426: 10. The Final Story (7/9)
I parted with Nam Daeun in the first-floor lobby. While there was a lingering feeling of wanting to stay with her longer, there was no need to rush now that we had confirmed our feelings for each other. It wasn't as if she was disappearing somewhere; we would be seeing each other from now on.
So, after sending Nam Daeun, who had tried to follow me, to the dining hall, I quickly made my way up to the fourth floor.
As expected, the door to my office was slightly ajar. I swiftly entered the room.
Pushing open the terrace door and stepping out onto the balcony, I found Lim Hanna kneeling on the floor. The ground was soaked with liquid from a shattered bottle, and she was in the middle of wiping it up with her blouse.
I stood there, simply staring at Lim Hanna.
“!”
Lim Hanna looked up at me with a dazed expression. Then, in an instant, she quickly turned her head away and wiped her face with the back of her hand. But I had already seen her reddened eyes and the tears streaming down her cheeks.
She saw.
The realization left a bitter taste in my mouth. For some reason, I felt sorry for Lim Hanna.
What on earth was I supposed to say?
I pondered for a moment before calmly taking off my outer coat and wrapping it around her. I then knelt beside her and pulled at the blouse she was holding. Come to think of it, she seemed to quite like this piece of clothing.
“I-I’ll clean it.”
Her voice was choked with emotion. I just shook my head silently. I finally managed to take the blouse from her and began wiping the floor myself.
A moment later, I heard the sound of her trying to clear her throat.
“S-Sorry. I just came in without permission… and made a mess of your room…”
“It’s fine. We can just clean it up… If anything, I’m the one who should be sorry. I told you I was going to my room, but I went to the garden instead. Did you spend a lot of time looking for me?”
“Y-Yeah, a little…?”
Lim Hanna smiled. But it wasn't a genuine smile; it was a forced one, meant to hide her sadness. I sighed inwardly.
“Give it here…”
Lim Hanna kept trying to take the blouse back, but I easily subdued her movements.
Squeeze. Drip.
After wringing out the sopping wet blouse, I started wiping the floor again.
“I told you it’s fine. I’ll finish up, so you go on ahead.”
“No. I’ll clean it, so why don’t you…”
“Really, it’s okay. You didn’t even get to enjoy the festival much today.”
“The festival…”
We went back and forth. Then, as if she had finally given up, Lim Hanna muttered in a dejected tone. But I didn't hear her go back into the room, which meant she was still there, watching me.
An awkward silence stretched on for a long time. I knew why it was so awkward. It felt like there was something we needed to talk about, but we were just circling the issue.
How much time passed like that?
The floor, which had been stained purple, had almost returned to its original color. After pushing the drenched blouse to one side, I reached for the neatly gathered pile of shards.
That’s when a delicate voice flowed out.
“Come to think of it, you’re right. I was really looking forward to this festival… but I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as I’d hoped.”
“It’s not too late if you go down now. From what I saw earlier, they looked ready to pull an all-nighter.”
“They’ll all be drunk anyway… Thinking about it, I should have just said something earlier.”
“Why? Was there someone you wanted to talk to?”
As I asked, I grabbed the pile of shards in one go. I could feel them pricking my palm, but it didn't hurt. My durability wasn't so low that I'd be pained by mere bottle fragments.
I was about to quietly channel my magic to grind them into dust.
“…Yeah. I wanted to talk to you, Soohyun. There’s something I really needed to tell you.”
Just as I was about to create a small magical burst, I unknowingly stopped the magic circulating through my body.
When I quietly glanced to my side, I saw Lim Hanna looking at me with a wistful expression, a faint smile on her lips. Her sorrowful eyes seemed to be apologizing to me. What on earth was she sorry for?
“…What is it?”
“There’s something I want to confess to you.”
I swallowed hard.
Confession. A word that could mean so many things.
I suddenly felt the urge to flee. Because I had a pretty good idea of what Lim Hanna meant by ‘confession.’
After a moment of thought, I spoke quietly.
“A confession? Haven’t I already caught you for trespassing and making a mess of my room?”
In that instant, Lim Hanna’s eyes trembled violently. I watched her impassively.
It was a joke, if you could call it that, but not one meant to be funny. It was more like an ultimatum, or perhaps me giving her a choice.
If she took it as a joke, we could somehow laugh it off and move on. That would be the end of it.
But if she didn't take it as a joke… Lim Hanna would probably get hurt.
The decision came surprisingly quickly.
A moment later, Lim Hanna’s lips parted.
“There’s that, but… actually… I saw you earlier. You and Daeun-ssi, at the pond…”
And so, she chose the latter.
I bit my lip slightly before letting out a sigh and speaking.
“…We just ran into each other by chance.”
“I see. Th-Then what did you two talk about?”
“From what point did you see?”
“A-Actually… I think… everything.”
“You saw everything…”
“…Did Daeun-ssi confess to you just now? To you?”
If she hadn't, we wouldn't have kissed. Instead of answering, I nodded my head.
I had, in fact, expected that she might have seen us.
Seeing the clear tear tracks still on her cheeks, I felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. Because deep down, I had been hoping Lim Hanna would just laugh it off, wishing she would stop right there.
However, once she started, Lim Hanna spoke again.
“And you accepted? Is that why you kissed?”
“Hanna-ah.”
She immediately fell silent when I called her name firmly. It seemed she realized she had gone too far.
“That’s between me and Nam Daeun.”
Again, silence fell.
The terrace, where the cold wind blew relentlessly, was freezing. But I had a feeling the chill wasn't just from the wind.
I suddenly craved a cigarette.
“Haha. You’re right. I guess I was prying too much.”
After a slight pause, Lim Hanna quietly conceded. And once again, she forced an awkward smile.
However.
Her eyes wouldn't stop trembling, and her lips kept parting as if to speak…
“I was just… worried…”
She looked as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Seeing her like that, my resolve wavered for a moment.
“…What are you so worried about?”
“You already have two women by your side, don’t you…? Hayeon-unni and Yeonju-unni… But if Daeun-ssi joins in too… Ha, haha… It must be really tough being a popular guy…”
She was hitting the nail on the head, even as her voice cracked.
I clicked my tongue.
“You’re not wrong, but that’s also my problem.”
“R-Right. But. N-No. And also. Hah…”
It was then. Lim Hanna, who had been rambling, took a sharp breath. Her lips trembled. Her gaze met mine head-on, her face set with a firm resolve.
Finally, as Lim Hanna exhaled deeply.
“I’m… going to confess now, too.”
At the unexpected confession, I squeezed my eyes shut.
“So… what then? What are you going to do then?”
Crack!
I clenched my fist, feeling the shards crumble in my hand. I squeezed even tighter, until my knuckles turned white. And I thought.
I have to say it now. I didn't want to hurt her, but I have to.
I had some idea of how Lim Hanna felt about me. I’d sensed it a little when we talked during the bathhouse incident, and I knew for sure when she kissed me at the end.
But in reality, I had no feelings for Lim Hanna.
No, it wasn't that I had no feelings at all. To be precise… I certainly thought well of her, but I didn't like her. And I definitely didn't love her.
‘Soohyun-ssi, does your heart pound when you see me, too?’
I placed a hand on my chest. Even after hearing her confession, my heart didn't race for Lim Hanna. That was the reality.
Still, I tried to phrase it as gently as possible.
“Hanna-ah. I think you’re a good woman. I really do.”
“Why? Do you not like me?”
“…That’s not it. You’re beautiful and kind enough for anyone to fall for you.”
“But you accepted Daeun-ssi’s feelings. You accepted her even though you have Hayeon-unni and Yeonju-unni. Can’t I be the same?”
A pang of guilt shot through me. I had simply said she was a “good woman.” But as if she had anticipated my next words, her response was already several steps ahead.
I was suddenly at a loss for words, but I quickly composed myself.
No. There was nothing to compose. I just had to tell her the truth, as it was. Even if it was cruel.
I slowly rose to my feet. I walked over to the railing and opened my clenched fist. The finely crushed fragments scattered in the wind and vanished.
“You can’t be the same.”
I dusted my hands off once or twice and continued.
“Hayeon… My relationship with Hayeon started with a request for protection… But it changed over time. Now, I believe we have a deeper connection than just a simple protective one. Whenever I see her, I think of her as my first woman.”
“Yes.”
“And Ko Yeonju? To be honest, it probably started out of simple curiosity. For both me and her. But afterward, Ko Yeonju showed me a surprisingly devoted side, and seeing that seems to have changed my heart. It’s only very occasionally, but sometimes when I look at her, I find her lovely.”
“…Yes.”
“And Nam Daeun… I’m actually not sure myself. Honestly, I thought two women were enough. But when I received her confession earlier, my heart pounded and I felt a thrill. I still don’t know why…”
“……Yes.”
As I continued, I could feel Lim Hanna’s responses getting slower by half a beat each time. I took a quiet, deep breath. Then I calmly turned to face her. Her dazed eyes, as if entranced, met mine.
“As you said, I have two women by my side, no, maybe soon to be three.”
“……”
“In this situation, I can’t take you in under the pretext of protection. The circumstances aren’t right, and I don’t think I should. So, should I take you in out of curiosity? I don’t want to. I don’t want to do that just because we’re a man and a woman. And…”
For a moment, I debated whether to say this, but I decided it was better to just say it. If I stopped here, everything would be left ambiguous.
I said in a clear voice.
“And Hanna-ah. I didn’t feel any excitement when I heard your confession earlier. I’m sorry.”
The moment I said those words.
“!”
Lim Hanna’s eyes flew open for an instant, then she squeezed them shut. Her throat bobbed once, and she bit down hard on her lip.
“I see…. So that’s how it is…. I was… one step too late.”
I wanted to say, ‘Perhaps,’ but I held my tongue. It was uncertain whether I would have accepted even if Lim Hanna had confessed before Nam Daeun.
Time passed.
Eventually, Lim Hanna slowly, sluggishly, pushed herself to her feet. I stood in front of the terrace door, watching her quietly.
“Right. Thank you for telling me the truth.”
Whether from shock or the cold, Lim Hanna slowly wrapped her arms around herself. Seeing her trembling so visibly now, I quietly opened the door.
“Nothing to thank me for. I’m sorry.”
Silence descended. I considered just leaving her like this, but I shook my head. I walked over to Lim Hanna, took her arm, and pulled firmly.
“If we’re done talking, let’s go inside. It’s cold.”
“W-Wait a minute.”
Lim Hanna resisted. She seemed to be trying to act calm or composed, but judging by her lifeless eyes, she was clearly in shock.
“Soohyun. Can’t you just… go first?”
“Hanna-ah. Let’s not be like this.”
“N-No… It’s not that… I just want to be here for a little while. So, so…”
But Lim Hanna couldn't finish her sentence and lowered her head.
“…Hic.”
Her shoulders began to tremble faintly; it seemed she could no longer hold back her tears. In this state, how could I possibly just leave her?
“…Let’s go inside first. Don’t stay out here.”
I forcibly pulled Lim Hanna’s arm. She resisted slightly but soon collapsed toward me as I pulled her along.
Click.
After we entered the office, I immediately closed the terrace door. The cold wind died down, and the warmth of the room greeted us.
And Lim Hanna, covering her face with both hands, was crying silently. Seeing her made my heart heavy.
Lim Hanna was undeniably an attractive woman. Her face, her body, her personality, her Player Status—she lacked nothing. As such, a mix of emotions washed over me. I was grateful that such a woman had told me she liked me, and I was truly sorry.
Still, in the end, I felt this was the right answer. As I was now, I didn't have the confidence to accept Lim Hanna. In other words, I wasn't confident I could treat Lim Hanna the way I treated Hayeon or Ko Yeonju in the future.
I gently let go of her arm. Then, trying to speak as softly as possible, I opened my mouth.
“Let’s go down together. Let’s go to the dining hall and lift our spirits. You didn’t even get to enjoy yourself properly today.”
“…Sorry. I just want to be alone right now…”
But Lim Hanna shook her head with difficulty, and I let out a short breath.
“Then is there anything else you want to say?”
Again, no answer came.
I decided not to say anything more. In a situation like this, no matter what I said, it wouldn't comfort her. Besides, it was ridiculous for me to be the one saying such things in the first place.
It would be better to give her some space than to keep standing next to her.
“I’ll be waiting, then. Come down when you’ve calmed down.”
A moment later, I slowly turned around. I walked slowly toward the door and opened it.
Click.
The dark hallway was revealed before me. I was just about to step into it.
“Don’t go…”
At that moment, a faint, tear-filled voice reached me. An endlessly sad and pitiful tone caught my feet as I was about to leave. Unable to take a step, I turned back around.
“Don’t go… Please…”
Lim Hanna had lowered her hands. Though her throat kept moving as if she were overwhelmed with emotion, she was taking one step after another toward me.
And as if to truly stop me from leaving, she reached out with both hands and grabbed my arm.
I raised my hand and wiped Lim Hanna’s eyes.
“Don’t cry.”
“Why… Why… Why can’t it be me?”
Even as she cried, Lim Hanna looked up with sorrowful eyes and haltingly spoke.
“It doesn’t have to be thrilling from the very beginning. Your heart doesn’t have to pound from the start. Right? This is the Hall Plain… Like Hayeon-unni, like Yeonju-unni… Can’t I start the same way they did?”
“Hanna-ah. I already told you. I…”
“I know. I know what you’re going to say. Then I won’t ask you to share. If it’s really too much of a burden, you don’t have to let me into your heart. So, Soohyun. Can’t you just give me one chance? Please?”
I thought it was over. But at the very end, a fire suddenly ignited. I could feel Lim Hanna’s emotions growing more intense. She was truly throwing everything away, clinging to me.
“Lim Hanna.”
I called her name to calm her down, but Lim Hanna shook her head fiercely.
“Just, just being by your side is enough. Just give me permission to be by your side. I’ll figure out how to get into your heart on my own. Please?”
Now that it had come to this, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
“Why? What is the reason you’re so obsessed with me?”
“Don’t be angry…”
“I’m not angry, I just don’t understand. I really don’t get it. Lim Hanna, do you still think of yourself as a witch? Or do you still see me as that person…”
“No!”
It was then. For the first time, Lim Hanna shouted. At the same time, we both fell silent with startled expressions. I, too, felt that I had gone too far with my words.
“No. It’s true that I used to, but… not anymore…”
Her gaze was no longer just pitiful; it now looked affectionate.
My mind was a tangled mess. I had never imagined Lim Hanna would go this far. With no solution in sight, all I could do was let out heavy sighs.
“Soohyun…”
With her looking at me like that, saying all these things, what was I supposed to do?
If only I didn't have any other women… No, if only she were a complete stranger.
Then I wouldn't have to agonize like this. But Lim Hanna was someone I knew, a User within my circle. And she was someone I would continue to be with in the future.
This is giving me a headache.
Needing time to think, I spoke in an exhausted voice.
“…Wait, just a moment. I’m dizzy. Let me just think…”
But Lim Hanna seemed to have no intention of letting me. She was still holding my arm, and she squeezed it even tighter.
Then, her eyes suddenly shining, she continued.
“I know. I know it. I know that I’m being incredibly pathetic right now, and also very selfish. And I know what you meant when you said those things. But I really don’t want to lose you. No. After hearing what you said, I want to lose you even less.”
“…I’ll say it again, you’re a good woman, and there are plenty of good men who will love only you. So why are you trying so hard to tie yourself to me?”
It was then. Lim Hanna’s lips, which had been moving nonstop, stopped. And she began to stare at me intently.
“Because I don’t want to be anxious again.”
Finally, I felt the grip on my arm loosen, if only slightly.
Lim Hanna continued.
“Because I’ve been watching you since we were at the Love House. Because I want to stop forgetting everything else and finally settle down in one place.”
“See. You…”
“And, because I like you.”
“…I can’t accept that.”
With those words, I fell silent.
Lim Hanna continued speaking with her usual sorrowful eyes.
“…Do you really need a reason like that? When a person likes another person, does there have to be a one-hundred-percent convincing reason?”
“That’s not it… Ugh, no. Never mind.”
I was tired. Truly exhausted. I felt completely drained, even though I hadn't fought a single battle.
Sensing my exhaustion, Lim Hanna lowered her head dejectedly. Then she moved closer and carefully buried herself in my embrace. Her slender arms wrapped around my back, and her warm breath tickled my chest.
“I’m sorry. For making things hard for you. But my feelings are sincere.”
Suddenly, the distinct scent of a woman filled my nostrils. I gently closed my eyes.
‘…Because of the circumstances surrounding me. My comrades died, my brother died, and I thought you had died too. When it got to that point, I just thought it was fate. Ah. I’m a witch. Since then, my fate has been cursed.’
‘Because I don’t want to be anxious again.’
Lim Hanna had trauma from her past. She had lost all her comrades once during the Rite of Passage, and she experienced something similar after entering the Hall Plain. She blamed herself for it and thought of it as her destiny. I didn't know how she felt now, but at one point, she believed she was a witch who devoured her comrades.
The trauma persisted even after she joined the Mercenary Clan, because a situation arose that made her think that way. But I didn't die. I walked a different path from Lim Hanna’s past comrades. No matter what happened, I survived, and I rescued my clan members.
Lim Hanna probably started thinking of me as special from that point on. And as time passed, it must have gradually developed into a certain emotion.
‘It doesn’t have to be thrilling from the very beginning.’
‘Your heart doesn’t have to pound from the start.’
‘This is the Hall Plain… Like Hayeon-unni, like Yeonju-unni… Can’t I start the same way they did?’
‘Just, just being by your side is enough. Just give me permission to be by your side.’
When I lowered my gaze slightly, I saw Lim Hanna still buried in my chest, trembling. Her usual gentle and graceful demeanor was nowhere to be found. She looked like a sandcastle that would crumble at the slightest touch, as if she could break at any moment.
In this situation, was it really the right thing to do to embrace her?
I don't know.
If I had just left earlier, it would be one thing. No, if I hadn't come at all, it would be another.
But one thing was certain: now that I had turned back, I couldn't just leave her like this.
I really didn't know anymore.
I slowly lowered the hand that had been rubbing my forehead. It stopped in mid-air, just before touching the crown of Lim Hanna’s head. Did she sense something? I felt her body flinch.
Eventually, Lim Hanna slowly raised her head to look up at me.
“Soohyun…?”
Lim Hanna’s eyes held a sliver of hope. If I rejected her here, there would be no turning back.
So, this is how it ends up…
I still wasn't sure, but I firmly stroked Lim Hanna’s hair. Then I closed my eyes and quietly called her name.
“Hanna-ah.”
“Yes?”
“Are you serious? Are you really okay with this?”
At last, Lim Hanna stopped crying. She looked up with tear-filled eyes and nodded her head emphatically.
“Yes. I’m serious.”
“…It might be hard. You might regret it.”
“If it’s hard, I’ll endure it. Even if I regret it, I won’t show it. Right now, I just… want to be true to my feelings.”
Lim Hanna didn't say it wouldn't be hard, or that she wouldn't regret it. Only then did I realize that the words she had just spoken were sincere.
“Is that so…?”
Nod, nod.
There was no verbal reply, but my chest tickled.
And in that moment, I moved the hand that had been hovering in the air and gently placed it on the crown of Lim Hanna’s head. As I softly stroked her hair, she immediately buried her face in my chest and let out a long breath. It felt like a sigh of relief.
“Haaah…”
My chest grew warm.
“Thank goodness. I was holding on, thinking this was the end… I was so worried you would just leave…”
I didn't say anything. Instead, I continued to soothe and stroke Lim Hanna’s hair.
After some time had passed, I saw Lim Hanna’s face rise slightly, as if she were standing on her tiptoes.
And then.
“……”
A soft voice whispered into my ear.
*
Between a certain night and dawn, when the moonlight seeping into the room was exceptionally bright.
Click, clack!
The sound of a door gently closing, and then locking.
“Are you really okay with this?”
Still, no answer came. When I quietly turned, I saw Lim Hanna nodding shyly with tear-stained eyes.
What more needed to be said?
I gently placed my hands on Lim Hanna’s shoulders. As I pulled her slightly, she came into my arms as if she had been waiting. Holding each other tightly, we walked toward the desk.
As we took each step, I felt a gaze constantly looking up at me from below. When I glanced down, I saw Lim Hanna’s anxious face. Her eyes were filled with unease.
Suddenly, it felt as if Lim Hanna had read my mind, and my heart stung. I still wasn't sure. I had given in to her final plea, but I was still deliberating.
The faces of several women flashed through my mind. Jung Hayeon, Ko Yeonju, and Nam Daeun…
Stop it.
I decided to stop thinking. Accepting Lim Hanna’s confession was something I couldn't take back. Instead of thinking, ‘What do I do now?’ it would be better to think, ‘This is what I will do from now on.’
In that case, it was best to focus on Lim Hanna for now.
We had arrived at the desk. It was a shame there was no bed, but the desk wasn't bad either. In fact, it was better in that we could look at each other.
I hesitated no longer. As I gently lifted her by the waist, she quietly sat on the edge of the desk. Lim Hanna said nothing. She just kept looking at me, following my lead.
“Do you want to prepare yourself mentally?”
I chose my words carefully to avoid any misunderstanding.
Fortunately, the meaning seemed to have been conveyed well. Lim Hanna gave a small smile and slowly shook her head.
“Nn-nnh.”
“You don’t have to do this.”
“No. Since I’ve pushed this far, I want to put a period on it today.”
Then, with an embarrassed expression, she carefully continued.
“I… I was a real mess today, wasn’t I? Being so forceful… and selfish…”
“It’s fine. It’s not the first time you’ve thrown a tantrum.”
“A-A tantrum?”
“That time you made a scene about following me into the war. Don’t tell me you don’t remember?”
How could she not remember? I thought I was going to die of frustration back then.
Lim Hanna’s cheeks flushed red. She then slyly avoided my gaze, seeming to know she should be embarrassed.
Anyway.
That was enough teasing. I decided it was time to begin.
This was Lim Hanna’s first time. As it was her first, I felt a certain degree of leadership and consideration would be necessary.
“I’m starting, okay? Don’t be nervous, just relax.”
“I-I’m not nervous. And just do it without talking… It’s embarrassing…”
The moment permission was granted, I lightly wrapped my arms around Lim Hanna. Her soft breaths tickled my ear. She said she wasn't nervous, but it seemed she was, in her own way. I smiled to myself and moved my hands quickly.
I immediately pulled off the coat I had draped over her on the terrace. Channeling magic to my fingertips, I sliced vertically through the thin, single-layer shirt she had left. Finally, I gently undid her last remaining undergarment.
It was when I had completely removed her top.
“This feels so nice…”
Lim Hanna said in a calm voice with her eyes closed. It seemed she was unaware that her top had been removed in an instant. Anticipating the scream that would soon erupt, I slowly pulled away from her.
Sensing the warmth leaving her, Lim Hanna looked up with disappointed eyes and licked her lips.
And in that moment.
Rustle, rustle.
As I removed the coat, the shirt, which had been cut down the back, slid off. Then, the fabric covering her chest fluttered down to rest on her thighs.
Finally, Lim Hanna’s beautiful breasts were revealed before my eyes. To the left and right of the long cleavage line, beautifully formed, teardrop-shaped breasts proudly displayed their size. At the peaks of the white mounds, light pink nipples, already swollen to their fullest, stood erect. Even though this was the second time I had seen her breasts, I could only marvel at them.
“Huh?”
Did she feel my gaze, or did she just feel a sudden draft?
Lim Hanna blinked her eyes in confusion several times. The moment she lowered her head to look down, an unexpected scream burst out.
“Kyaa!”
“Pfft.”
As Lim Hanna jumped, I burst out laughing. Her scream was so sudden and funny that I couldn't hold it in.
“Wh-When did you take them off?”
“Haha, hahaha!”
“St-Stop laughing!”
“Haha, hahaha!”
Lim Hanna furrowed her fine brows and looked at me with a face full of complaint. I tried my best to suppress my laughter and grabbed both of her arms, which were covering her chest.
“That was a truly unexpected scream. ‘Kyaa.’”
“Y-You jerk. Stop teasing me. I was really surprised. I thought you were just going to hug me, but when did my clothes…”
This time, I slowly released her arms so as not to startle her, and her large, beautiful breasts were once again revealed.
“W-Wait a minute.”
“Can’t hear you.”
I replied simply and calmly buried my face in the vertical line of her cleavage. The moment the warm, soft flesh touched my nose, I let out a soft breath. Hoo.
“Ahng!”
Seeing her squirm at just a light stimulus, it seemed this was definitely her first time. But I didn't stop and pushed my face all the way in.
Finally, when I felt the cozy sensation of my cheeks being gently pressed and my nose could go no further, I hugged Lim Hanna tightly and began to slowly rub my face against her. At the same time, I felt an endlessly cozy and warm energy spread throughout my body.
Lim Hanna’s breasts were so peaceful and comfortable they reminded me of a mother’s embrace. At one point, I felt a little breathless and took a deep breath with all my might. The unique, fleshy scent of a woman deeply penetrated my nostrils.
“Mmm. Mmm-hmm. S-Soohyun?”
“Just a moment… Let’s just stay like this for a moment.”
Understanding my words, Lim Hanna said nothing more. However, I soon felt a gentle hand softly stroking my head. For a while, I was intoxicated by the scent of her skin and the touch of her hand. Then, remembering her earlier scream, I let out another chuckle. Kick.
“Ah, really~. I told you to stop laughing~.”
Looking thoroughly embarrassed, Lim Hanna started to lightly tap my head. But as if she found it funny herself, her tone was much brighter than before.
I finally lifted my head to face Lim Hanna. As expected, a very faint smile was spread across her lips.
“There. Now you look more like yourself.”
“Huh?”
I slowly straightened up. I supported the back of Lim Hanna’s head with one hand and held her shoulder with the other. As I gradually leaned my body forward, her body automatically tilted back.
“Ah.”
Finally, I was able to lay Lim Hanna completely flat on the desk. Her hair fanned out in all directions. The light streaming in through the window seeped into her scattered hair and began to flow gently.
“See? You look good when you smile like that.”
“Y-You think so?”
“Hanna-ah.”
“Y-Yes?”
Looking slightly surprised, Lim Hanna answered hesitantly. She was looking up at me from below with wide eyes. I slowly scanned her face.
Finally, when her flawless forehead came into view.
I slowly lowered my head and placed a kiss there.
Peck.
Then, with a gentle smile, I said.
“I’m looking forward to this.”
