#103.

The blue light of dawn seeped through the curtains, tickling Kang Jiwon’s eyelids. She slowly opened her eyes. As her vision cleared, she saw Park Minah sleeping soundly right next to her. Kang Jiwon’s heart began to beat rapidly.

,Finally…’ A small whisper echoed in her mind.

The relationship with Park Minah that she had so desperately wanted. It felt like a dream. A smile spread across Kang Jiwon’s face, but it soon faded. A corner of her heart ached. A strange emptiness enveloped her, along with the feeling of happiness.

Memories of last night flickered hazily. Park Minah’s soft skin, sweet fragrance, and her panting breaths. Everything should have been perfect. But why? There was something unfulfilled even within that relationship.

Kang Jiwon’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Her fingers clenched and unclenched the bedsheets. She tried hard to push away the emotions swirling within her heart.

,No. This is what I wanted.’

She took a deep breath. Slowly, she reached out and pulled Park Minah closer. Park Minah’s body temperature was transmitted to her skin. It was warm. But that warmth didn’t completely melt her insides.

Park Minah moved slightly. Her eyelids slowly opened. Kang Jiwon and Park Minah’s eyes met. For a moment, there was no sound. They were simply lost in each other’s eyes.

Kang Jiwon leaned in first. She lightly touched her lips to Park Minah’s. It was a short but sweet kiss. As their lips parted, a bashful smile spread across Park Minah’s face.

At that moment, Kang Jiwon’s heart warmed. Park Minah’s innocent smile seemed to wash away all her doubts and anxieties.

,That’s right. My choice wasn’t wrong.’

Kang Jiwon’s hand gently stroked Park Minah’s hair. Her eyes were filled with conviction. But deep within those eyes, a small shadow still remained. A faint shadow that no one, not even Kang Jiwon herself, could notice.

“Did you sleep well?” Kang Jiwon asked softly.

Park Minah nodded. “Yes, it feels like a dream.”

At those words, Kang Jiwon’s heart sank once again. ,Feels like a dream.’ She thought so too. But she couldn’t be sure whether that dream was entirely happy, or a nightmare she would wake up from and regret someday.

Kang Jiwon tried hard to push away such thoughts. Instead, she hugged Park Minah even tighter. As if she could erase all her anxieties and doubts with that embrace.

“Minah-ssi…” Kang Jiwon’s voice trembled. “I love you.”

Park Minah’s eyes sparkled. “I love you too, Jiwon-ssi.”

Their lips met once again. This time, it was a deeper and longer kiss. Kang Jiwon tried to put everything into that kiss. Love, passion, and even the unfulfilled longing.

After the kiss, Park Minah snuggled into Kang Jiwon’s arms. Her scent tickled Kang Jiwon’s nose. Kang Jiwon closed her eyes. She wanted to forget everything, at least for this moment. Lee Han too, her own desires too, and that nameless regret that remained in a corner of her heart.

But Kang Jiwon’s fingers moved unconsciously, tracing down Park Minah’s back. That touch still carried an unfulfilled longing. Unbeknownst to anyone, not even Kang Jiwon herself.

—

In the dim office, only the faint light of the fluorescent lamps illuminated the two intertwined bodies. Kang Jiwon leaned against Lee Han’s firm chest. Her vision was blurred by the fog of desire, and the skin all over her body was burning hot, as if it had been heated in a fire.

The only thing breaking the silence was Kang Jiwon’s panting breath. Kang Jiwon’s chest rose and fell rapidly, and in response to that movement, Lee Han’s touch slowly moved along her sensitive skin.

Lee Han’s fingers traced down her spine. Kang Jiwon’s body trembled each time his fingernails grazed her skin. His lips touched her nape. A small moan escaped Kang Jiwon’s lips at the soft, moist sensation.

“Ah…”

Lee Han’s tongue moved along her collarbone. His hot breath tickled Kang Jiwon’s skin. Kang Jiwon simply leaned back, surrendering herself. Her fingers dug into Lee Han’s hair.

As if the thread of reason had snapped, Kang Jiwon’s mind was filled only with the sensations of this moment. Lee Han’s scent, his touch, the sensation of his lips… everything dominated her senses.

Kang Jiwon’s waist moved unconsciously. Her body pressed even closer to Lee Han’s. Lee Han’s bulging crotch touched her thigh. At that moment, a hot heat surged into Kang Jiwon’s lower abdomen.

,Just a little… just a little more…’

A desperate whisper echoed in Kang Jiwon’s mind. At that moment, Lee Han’s movements stopped. As he slowly tried to pull away, Kang Jiwon’s hand unconsciously grabbed his arm.

Instantly, her eyes widened. As if surprised by her own actions, she hurriedly let go of his arm and shrank back. Lee Han stared at her silently.

“Tomorrow is the weekend,” Lee Han whispered softly.

At those words, Kang Jiwon’s pupils trembled slightly. Memories of last weekend flashed through her mind. Hot breaths, intertwined bodies, and the moment of climax… A strange heat bloomed in her lower abdomen.

Kang Jiwon turned her head away. She bit her lip, trying hard to hide her anticipation.

,Just two more weeks and it’ll be over soon.’

She repeated in her mind. But she felt that resolve wavering.

As Kang Jiwon slowly stood up, Lee Han pulled her into another embrace. His lips sought hers. It was a soft but intense kiss.

Their tongues intertwined. Sweet saliva exchanged. Kang Jiwon’s reason blurred once again. Her fingers dug into Lee Han’s hair.

As the kiss ended, their lips slowly parted. A thin thread of saliva connected them, shimmering in the fluorescent light. It was as if it symbolized their relationship.

Kang Jiwon stared blankly at the scene. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of desire and guilt, anticipation and fear. Lee Han smiled as he gazed at her.

“See you tomorrow,” Lee Han said softly.

Kang Jiwon nodded instead of answering. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. A mixture of anticipation and anxiety for tomorrow enveloped her.

Kang Jiwon’s steps faltered as she left the office. Her body was still flushed, and her mind was confused. On her way home, she had only one thought in her mind.

,Tomorrow is… the weekend.’

—

The faint moonlight seeped through the curtains. On the bed, Kang Jiwon and Park Minah were embracing each other, sharing their body heat. The lingering afterglow of their passionate encounter still remained on their skin.

A satisfied smile, filled with sweet afterglow, spread across Park Minah’s face. Her eyelids languidly closed and opened, and her eyes were filled with deep affection and happiness. Her lips were slightly swollen and red, and a blush remained on her cheekbones.

Park Minah’s slender, delicate fingers slowly began to move along Kang Jiwon’s smooth, brown skin. Her fingertips moved as gently as if playing the piano, starting from Kang Jiwon’s collarbone, passing through her cleavage, and down to her navel. It was as if a small electric current flowed wherever her touch passed.

Kang Jiwon’s body reacted to the sensation, trembling slightly. Small goosebumps rose on her skin, and her abdominal muscles tensed and relaxed slightly. Kang Jiwon’s breathing became subtly rougher, and her chest began to rise and fall a little faster.

But Kang Jiwon’s eyes were different from Park Minah’s happy expression. Deep within her pupils, there was a lingering sense of unfulfillment. The corners of her lips trembled slightly, and complex emotions flitted across her face.

Park Minah’s fingers slowly drew circles along Kang Jiwon’s waistline. A small sigh escaped Kang Jiwon’s lips, but that sound contained more of a thirst than satisfaction. Her eyelids fluttered, and she bit her lip slightly. Kang Jiwon’s fingers repeatedly clenched and unclenched the bedsheets.

A subtle heat rose from where their skin touched. But within Kang Jiwon, the embers of an unfulfilled desire were still smoldering, as if something was still lacking. Her eyes momentarily gazed into the air, then she forced a smile as she looked at Park Minah’s happy expression.

“Jiwon-ssi,” Park Minah whispered softly. “Are you free this weekend?”

At those words, Kang Jiwon’s heart dropped. The promise with Lee Han flashed through her mind. Her expression momentarily stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure.

“Ah… this week…” Kang Jiwon’s voice trembled. “I have a prior engagement…”

A look of disappointment flashed across Park Minah’s eyes. She let out a small sigh and looked at Kang Jiwon with a pitiful gaze. Kang Jiwon’s heart ached at that look.

“I’m sorry, Minah-ssi,” Kang Jiwon said in a small voice.

Park Minah shook her head. Her lips lightly touched Kang Jiwon’s. It was a soft and warm kiss.

“It’s okay,” Park Minah whispered. “Let’s definitely be together next weekend.”

Kang Jiwon nodded. “Yes, definitely.”

She hugged Park Minah even tighter. Park Minah’s soft breasts pressed against hers. Kang Jiwon’s heart began to beat rapidly at that sensation.

A feeling of happiness enveloped her. But at the same time, complex emotions swirled within her. The regret of not being able to make a weekend date, the guilt towards Park Minah, and… the secret anticipation for the weekend rendezvous with Lee Han.

Kang Jiwon closed her eyes. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Park Minah’s body heat, her scent, enveloped Kang Jiwon. But in a corner of her heart, Lee Han’s shadow was still lingering.

,Why is this happening…’ A small voice echoed within Kang Jiwon.

Her fingers slowly moved along Park Minah’s back. That touch contained affection and desire, and complex emotions that could not be expressed in words.

Park Minah’s breath tickled Kang Jiwon’s nape. At that moment, Lee Han’s face flashed through her mind. Kang Jiwon bit her lip.

,Just a little more… just a little more patience…’

She hugged Park Minah even tighter. As if she could erase all her confusion and conflict with that embrace. But deep within her heart, the embers of desire were still burning.

—

On a weekend morning, the cold air of late autumn brushed against Kang Jiwon’s cheeks. She stood in front of Park Minah’s apartment entrance, seemingly reluctant to take her leaving steps. Park Minah’s smiling face was deeply etched in her mind.

“Be careful on your way, Jiwon-ssi,” Park Minah’s voice lingered in her ears.

Kang Jiwon nodded, forcing a calm expression. “Yes, you too have a good weekend, Minah-ssi.”

As her steps left the apartment complex, they began to pick up speed. While walking towards the management office, complex emotions swirled within her heart. Guilt and anticipation, anxiety and desire were intertwined.

Kang Jiwon’s hand unconsciously clenched and unclenched her collar repeatedly. Her eyes anxiously scanned her surroundings. Her shoulders were stiff with tension, worried that she might run into someone she knew.

But deep within her heart, a strange anticipation was blooming. Anticipation for the meeting with Lee Han. At that thought, her cheeks flushed red, and her heart began to beat rapidly.

Kang Jiwon’s steps became faster and faster. Her breathing also became more rapid. As she got closer to the management office, the embers of desire were burning brighter and brighter within her.

,I shouldn’t be doing this…’ Her reason whispered, but her body seemed to no longer hear that voice. Kang Jiwon’s hand trembled slightly, and she bit her lip as she took her final step.

Standing in front of the management office, Kang Jiwon’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. With guilt and anticipation, fear and desire mixed together, she slowly reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

As Kang Jiwon quietly opened the door and stepped inside, silence filled her ears. Only the faint light of the fluorescent lamps illuminated the dark office. Her heart began to beat rapidly.

Kang Jiwon’s eyes darted around, searching for Lee Han. Desk, sofa, filing cabinet… but he was nowhere to be seen. Then she heard the sound of water from inside. A shiver ran down her spine at that sound.

The sound of water stopped, and the sound of a hair dryer began. Kang Jiwon unconsciously clutched her collar tightly. Her fingers trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid. She bit her lip slightly as she stared at the shower room door.

Slowly, but time flowed by like an eternity for Kang Jiwon. Finally, the shower room door opened. Lee Han appeared amidst the rising steam. His upper body was exposed, and undried droplets of water trickled down his chest. His lower body was covered with a white towel.

Lee Han’s eyes found Kang Jiwon and smiled. At that moment, Kang Jiwon’s cheeks flushed red. Her gaze slowly traveled down Lee Han’s body. When it reached his lower body covered with the towel, she unconsciously swallowed.

Kang Jiwon’s mind became hot. The imagination of what was hidden beneath that towel, and the pleasure it could give her, filled her consciousness. Her breathing became even more rapid, and her chest rose and fell quickly.

As Lee Han slowly approached, Kang Jiwon stood there as if frozen. His scent, the droplets of water falling from his wet hair, and his gaze… everything stimulated her senses. Kang Jiwon’s lips parted slightly, and her pupils became filled with desire.

As Lee Han slowly approached, the sound of Kang Jiwon’s heartbeat echoed in her ears. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her breathing became increasingly rapid. Lee Han’s scent stimulated her nose.

Lee Han’s hand gently cupped Kang Jiwon’s chin. Her skin tingled at his touch. Lee Han slowly lifted her head. Their eyes met, and Kang Jiwon fell deeply into his pupils.

Lee Han’s lips touched Kang Jiwon’s. At first, it was soft and cautious. But soon the kiss deepened. Lee Han’s tongue invaded her lips, and Kang Jiwon opened her mouth without hesitation.

Kang Jiwon’s mind blurred in the sweet and hot kiss. A shiver ran down her spine, and her knees felt weak. One of Lee Han’s hands wrapped around her waist.

After the kiss, Lee Han whispered in Kang Jiwon’s ear. “Shall we begin?” At his voice, Kang Jiwon’s heart beat even faster.

Instead of answering, Kang Jiwon clung to Lee Han’s neck. Her fingers dug into his wet hair. Her lips once again sought Lee Han’s, sharing a deeper kiss.

As the tip of Kang Jiwon’s tongue brushed against Lee Han’s lips, a shiver ran down her spine. Her heart beat rapidly each time her tongue cautiously moved forward. The inside of Lee Han’s mouth was warm, and a strange electricity flowed the moment their tongues met.

The sweet taste of their saliva mixing together stimulated Kang Jiwon’s sense of taste. Her fingers gripped Lee Han’s wet hair even tighter. She felt his body temperature, transmitted through her skin, gradually rising.

As the kiss deepened, Kang Jiwon’s consciousness became blurred. The surrounding sounds faded away, and only Lee Han’s breathing and the sound of her own heartbeat echoed in her ears. Her body instinctively pressed even closer to Lee Han.

She felt the thread of reason gradually loosening. A small warning sounded in her head, but that sound became weaker and weaker. Instead, a hot desire surged through her entire body. Kang Jiwon’s hand hugged Lee Han’s back even tighter.

A small moan escaped her lips. Kang Jiwon herself was surprised by that sound, but she couldn’t stop anymore. All her senses were focused on Lee Han, and everything around her became blurred.
