Chapter 123: Summer Vacation, Part 9

Hayoon had a splitting headache after putting Choi Arin to bed.

She wanted to relax in the spa, take a quick shower, and go to sleep, but…

“Hayoon, come in, let’s bathe together.”

Why was Hong Seo-hyun doing this?

Why were both of her “Unnies” acting so strange?

“Haa…”

Hayoon sighed and started undressing.

She wanted to wash up and go to bed quickly.

“Hmm…”

As she approached Hong Seo-hyun, naked, Hong Seo-hyun lowered her gaze, seemingly unable to meet Hayoon’s eyes.

Hayoon, wondering why she was acting shy after initiating the undressing, entered the spa tub first. She leaned against the edge and beckoned Hong Seo-hyun with her finger.

“What are you doing? It’s already 10 PM, we should wash up and go to sleep.”

“Yeah… we should…”

Hong Seo-hyun entered the spa.

She made a pleased expression, enjoying the warm water and the spa’s aroma, then…

She subtly moved closer to Hayoon, their shoulders touching.

“Why are you coming so close? The suite’s spa is spacious.”

“Just… because…”

Their naked bodies touching inevitably brought suggestive thoughts to mind.

Hong Seo-hyun, already slightly tipsy, and Hayoon, who had just kissed Choi Arin, were both affected.

An awkward silence.

They both knew what the other was thinking.

The desire to look at each other’s naked body, just a glance away, was occupying most of their thoughts.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing…”

Finally, Hong Seo-hyun reached out.

Hayoon was already involved with Choi Arin.

Hayoon wouldn’t initiate anything, so Hong Seo-hyun had to make the first move if she wanted things to change.

And Hayoon…

“Hmm…”

Didn’t refuse.

She just leaned against Hong Seo-hyun, enjoying the warmth of the spa.

Unlike Hong Seo-hyun, she hadn’t been drinking, but she saw no reason to refuse or act embarrassed.

She had always engaged in this level of skinship with Choi Arin.

And so…

After about 20 minutes…

“Hayoon.”

“Yes?”

“You haven’t been spending time with me lately.”

Hong Seo-hyun spoke sullenly.

She felt resentful.

“What do you mean? We went to the cocktail bar today because you suggested it… and we always…”

Hayoon tried to reason with her…

–Smack.

Hong Seo-hyun suddenly moved closer, creating ripples in the water, and stole a kiss.

“Why don’t you do this with me? You only do it with Arin.”

“That’s…”

“Am I different from her? Then why did you bring me here?”

“It’s not like that…”

“Hayoon, I have feelings too. It hurts when you treat me differently while still acting caring. But I don’t dislike you. So, what should I do?”

“That’s…”

Before Hayoon could answer, Hong Seo-hyun stole another kiss.

She was a proactive woman, having previously challenged Hayoon for dominance.

Although she had been going with Hayoon’s flow lately…

“Can’t you be nice to me too?”

She hadn’t lost her boldness.

“Hayoon… I’m jealous. While I was in the bathroom, you two were… all over each other.”

“That…”

Her eyes glinted as she pressed Hayoon…

“Mmm…”

“Nn…?”

Their kiss deepened, their tongues tangling.

Hong Seo-hyun had rarely even received a peck, let alone a French kiss.

Her movements were clumsy…

But so were Hayoon’s.

After a brief, awkward exchange of tongues, Hayoon pulled away.

Though she didn’t say anything, her expression conveyed everything.

“Uh… was that your first time… using your tongue?”

“Maybe…”

“Oh…”

Hong Seo-hyun realized it was Hayoon’s first time too. Hayoon simply stared back, and after a moment of silence…

“Should we… wash up and get out? I’ll shampoo your hair.”

“Okay… then I’ll use the body wash…”

They acted as if nothing had happened, got out of the spa, and started washing each other.

However…

Just like Hayoon and Choi Arin, it seemed there was no turning back for Hayoon and Hong Seo-hyun.

“Do you wax, Unnie? Why is it so smooth down there?”

“Unlike you…”

“It’s genetic…”

The kiss became a catalyst, and their touch, as they washed each other, was undeniably suggestive.

Though they didn’t speak, they were both aware of the other’s hardening nipples against their backs.

It was a silent agreement.

***

The next morning, after Hayoon and Choi Arin’s intimate bath…

Hayoon woke up, planning to enjoy the morning spa with Choi Arin, but what awaited her was…

“Ugh…”

“It’s okay, just throw up.”

“Blegh…”

Choi Arin, vomiting from the previous night’s drinking, and Hong Seo-hyun, watching with a guilty expression.

Three martinis were too much for Choi Arin.

“Are you okay, Unnie?”

“Yeah, I’m… getting better…”

“Ugh…”

Choi Arin was practically dying.

After 30 minutes of vomiting, it was time for breakfast.

“Are you okay, Unnie?”

“Yeah, I’m… a bit better…”

“Can you eat breakfast? You need to sober up.”

“Sober up… I have to…”

Choi Arin nodded weakly, and Hayoon helped her brush her teeth and change clothes.

She had spent an intimate time with Hong Seo-hyun due to her jealousy the previous night, but she couldn’t worry about Hong Seo-hyun when someone was sick right in front of her.

“Here, honey water. Drink this to settle your stomach.”

“Ugh… what’s for breakfast?”

“It’s a Korean buffet. I think they have yukgaejang and maeuntang.”

“Perfect for a hangover…”

Even Hong Seo-hyun, feeling guilty for getting Choi Arin drunk, went to a nearby convenience store and bought honey water for her.

“Haa… let’s go…”

“Don’t you want to use the spa, Unnie?”

“the spa. Screw it… I don’t want to. I want to eat and go home… I’m going to sleep at home…”

“Hehehe, okay. Let’s eat.”

Choi Arin seemed to be recovering, and Hayoon chuckled, helping her to the breakfast buffet.

***

It was a shame Hayoon couldn’t enjoy the spa with Choi Arin, but the summer vacation at the five-star hotel was incredibly enjoyable.

It exceeded her expectations.

However, because of that amazing vacation, a new routine was added to Hayoon’s daily life.

“Hayoon, let’s do that. That.”

“Ugh, don’t you get tired of it? Once or twice a day is enough.”

“I never get tired of it.”

First, she would exchange a peck with Choi Arin when they arrived at the Igloo.

Once upon arrival, once during work, and once before leaving.

It seemed like she did it three times with Choi Arin alone…

“Unnie, I’m going to the restroom. Keep working.”

“Okay.”

The problem was that it wasn’t enough to just deal with Choi Arin.

“I did it a few times with Arin. Only twice today.”

In the next room, Hong Seo-hyun would be waiting, pouting, wondering why Hayoon always went to Choi Arin first.

“Why do you always go to Arin first?”

“Because… you come to work late because of your evening stream…”

“Ah…”

Hong Seo-hyun wasn’t angry.

She just wanted to be treated equally.

“Here.”

“Okay.”

Hayoon would give her a peck on the cheek.

“Now, here.”

When she pointed at her lips, Hong Seo-hyun would reciprocate with a shy kiss, giggling.

Considering her jealousy of Choi Arin, it was a surprisingly innocent reaction.

Perhaps because their first kiss involved tongues, making things awkward, unlike with Choi Arin, who only exchanged pecks, Hong Seo-hyun occasionally mixed in cheek kisses.

“Good work on your stream today, Unnie. I’ll come in and give you another kiss before we leave with Arin Unnie, so look forward to it.”

“You, you…! You called me Unnie again…!”

“Yes, I did. Seo-hyun Unnie.”

“Eek… again… Senpai… uh… Unnie…?”

Hayoon found that difference endearing.

From now on, she would call Hong Seo-hyun Unnie.

Living with a flower in each hand wasn’t so bad.
