Chapter 23
She couldn’t remember how she’d even gotten here.
The last thing she recalled was his words—“Stay the night.” Then his fingers, which had been stirring deep inside her mouth, slid free. And his lips consumed hers.
“Mmhh…”
When she finally came back to her senses, she was lying on Kang Heejae’s bed.
His kisses always left her dazed, but here, in his bed, the sensation was even more intoxicating.
Even though no clothes had been taken off, it felt as if every last layer had been stripped away.
“Ahh… O-Oppa…”
His lips left her mouth and trailed down the curve of her neck. The wet heat of his breath and lips made Yu-jin call for him in a rush.
“Mm. Yu-jin.”
He answered softly, his mouth still pressed against her skin. His voice was calm, unhurried—so ill-suited to this moment.
Unlike her, who had longed for this night, Kang Heejae looked almost too composed.
Her chest heaved as his scent surrounded her, thick and heady. Maybe it was the bed, maybe it was his weight above her, but she felt dizzy, drunk on him even though this was only the beginning.
“Slowly… ha…”
She wrapped trembling hands around his head as he buried his face in her collarbone. Her heart hammered so violently she wondered if she’d collapse right there from cardiac arrest.
Then—
“Ahh!”
His hips pressed hard against hers. The sudden closeness knocked her breath away.
“Oppa—ahh…!”
She didn’t need to look. She could feel how big, how unyielding he was.
Panic fluttered through her. She squeezed her eyes shut, but that only made his kisses along her collarbone burn sharper.
Trapped in his arms, all she could do was let out helpless sounds.
“Mmhh… ah, this feels… s-so strange…”
His hand slid slowly beneath her dress, gliding upward along her thigh. The silk of her stockings made his touch unbearably indecent.
No one had ever touched her this way before. The unfamiliar thrill made her thighs clamp together on instinct.
But his hand rose higher, gripping her soft bottom in a firm squeeze.
Yu-jin gasped, startled, and grabbed at his hand.
“W-what, already…?”
“W-wait, just wait…”
He paused, though his palm still cupped her tightly.
She gulped, forcing herself to breathe.
“I… I want to wash first, Oppa.”
“I’ll wash you after.”
“That’s not what I meant…”
His low, strained voice seeped into her through every point of contact.
She dared to peek open her eyes. His gaze was locked on her, heavy and dark.
She had known him since childhood, but she had never seen him look at her like this.
One by one, he undid the buttons of her dress. The quiet snap of each button felt deafening in the stillness.
When the fabric fell open and cool air touched her skin, she realized with a jolt—she was now in nothing but her underwear.
Her face burned red with embarrassment.
“Don’t be so nervous.”
“How… how could I not?”
His mouth came down again.
“Ahhh…”
Her chin tilted back at the force of the kiss. He sucked so hard at her lips that her body writhed, her hands clinging desperately to his face.
“This feels… weird. Something’s wrong.”
“It’s not wrong. It feels good.”
“No… I…”
Her trembling lips bit down on themselves. Every time he touched her, she felt like she would lose her mind.
Meanwhile, Heejae was calm. Too calm.
Yu-jin, on the other hand, was unraveling completely—breathless, helpless.
A sharp snap. He unclasped her bra from behind.
“Ahh…”
Her hands flew to cover her face, cheeks blazing red.
Now all she wore were stockings and panties.
Each layer shed left her squirming in shame.
But Heejae seemed intent on leaving his mark on every inch of her body.
“Haah…”
“Mmhh… oppa…”
His brow furrowed in torment.
“F—… fuck.” He cursed under his breath, voice ragged.
Yu-jin writhed beneath him, moaning, oblivious to how provocative she looked.
From the moment they’d shared wine and he’d tasted her lips, he had been ready to burst.
And now? The main act hadn’t even begun, and she was still slowing him down with her hesitations.
“Oppaa…”
Every time she called him like that, breathy and pleading, his restraint threatened to snap.
“What have I even done, huh? Why do you keep calling me?”
Her pale skin was already marked with his kisses, like a white canvas dirtied with sin.
“Ahh… ahh…!”
His mouth trailed lower, slower, until he suddenly stopped.
“Listen.”
Yu-jin startled, jerking her head up.
“What?”
Her eyes were round, like a frightened rabbit’s.
“What are you so scared of? You think I’ll keep us like this forever?”
“No, I—ahh!”
Her gaze turned reproachful, yet he was still fully dressed.
“W-why are you still wearing everything?” she blurted, the complaint slipping free before she realized.
He chuckled under his breath.
“Ah, so that’s what’s bothering you.”
Then, in one smooth move, he pulled off his knit sweater and tossed it aside.
“If that’s what you want… I’ll take it all off.”
He stripped with practiced ease, each article of clothing tossed away, his smirk dangerous and sharp.
Yu-jin’s breath caught. She had known his smile for years, but never like this.
Panic jolted through her as she realized she was nearly naked, and she grabbed the blanket to shield herself.
“Why hide? You’re beautiful.”
He said it while unbuckling his belt.
Her thoughts scattered in panic.
When his shirt hit the floor, his sculpted torso came into view—muscles carved like a marble statue.
“Wow…”
The awe slipped out before she could stop it.
He shed the rest of his clothes without hesitation.
“Im Yu-jin.”
“…?”
“Don’t look away. Look at me.”
But she couldn’t. She just couldn’t.
Her gaze darted aside, though even in the corner of her vision, his silhouette filled her sight. Her heart thundered wildly.
She licked her dry lips nervously—
“Ahh!”
Her ankles were seized, and she was dragged down toward him in one swift pull.
“W-wait! Just wait—”
But before she could resist, her stockings and panties were stripped off in a single motion.
The blanket she clung to was tossed aside.
And just like that, she was completely naked before him.
Oh God.
Her wide, trembling eyes locked on it—
The thing she had secretly wondered about ever since that incident… finally revealed before her eyes.
