Ch.149Please, big bro, I’m begging you!

I know I don’t deserve this.

Honestly, I’ve been treating it as a joke all along.

But.

“Guess how I’m feeling right now, what’s in my heart when I say these things.”

At Sujin’s words, I suddenly realized I shouldn’t brush off the current situation as a joke.

And I noticed her slightly trembling fist.

‘She’s gathering her courage right now.’

To turn this playful situation into something sincere.

I could tell what a huge challenge Sujin was taking on.

Being honest with your feelings, and moving forward with that honesty.

Knowing how difficult and remarkable that is,

I decided to respond genuinely to Sujin’s emotions.

Gulp.

I see Sujin standing on her tiptoes with her eyes closed.

And in that moment, a possessiveness that had been deeply hidden suddenly rose up.

‘I admit it, I don’t want to give her up to anyone.’

That’s an emotion I never felt in my previous life.

Back then, when I couldn’t possess anything, couldn’t freely enjoy anything.

When I had to be satisfied just with not giving up on living.

I never thought about wanting to have something.

But now it’s different.

I’ve gained many precious people.

And here’s someone sincerely reaching out to me.

And at the same time.

‘I don’t want her doing anything with anyone else.’

The feeling of jealousy surged.

Yes, maybe I wasn’t joking from the beginning either.

From when I told her not to film a romantic comedy.

To wanting her to film with me and no one else.

It was all sticky sincerity without a single lie.

Otherwise.

“Wa-wait… mmph…!”

There would be no need to kiss this deeply.

Our tongues intertwine, exchanging saliva and sharing breath.

Our first kiss is incredibly clumsy.

All I could do was push my emotions forward.

These sticky, messy feelings.

Placing them on my tongue and pushing them into you.

That was all I could do right now.

“Haa… haa… give me… time to breathe….”

Just before our bodies heated up completely,

We briefly separated after mixing our tongues until we were about to run out of breath.

Close enough for our noses to touch.

Given our height difference.

“You… why are you like… trying to devour me?”

“Huh?”

“Pressing down from above… I was a bit surprised.”

I guess my posture was a bit much.

‘How should I do this then?’

After a brief thought,

I had a good idea and lifted Sujin up in my arms.

“Eek! What are you doing?!”

“Well… I thought our eye levels would match perfectly here.”

On top of the shoe cabinet in the entryway.

Placing Sujin there significantly reduced our height difference.

“Is this better?”

Now it shouldn’t be uncomfortable.

Just as I finished saying that.

“Kim Donghu, are you crazy?!”

Sujin crossed her arms over her chest and shouted with a reddened face.

‘Huh? What’s the problem?’

Isn’t this better now that the problem is solved?

“You’re… you’re trying to… to kiss me more… so you put me up here!”

But hearing Sujin’s words, I realized my mistake.

‘That’s right, I never actually said I wanted to continue.’

The problem arose because I focused too much on making the kiss comfortable.

The key point was whether I ‘intended to continue kissing her’ or not.

But.

“Yes, I want to do more, that’s why I did this. Is that not okay?”

Since things had come to this, I also responded sincerely.

My first kiss tasted like sweet lemons.

It had an addictive quality that made me want to keep mixing with her.

“You’re crazy! K-Kim Donghu…!”

Sujin said that, but I could see her slowly uncrossing her arms.

She fidgeted her feet on the shelf, then slightly parted them to make space for me.

Her head bowed shyly and her lips slightly protruding.

Her gaze lost and her pigtails slightly loosened.

I took in that sight and slowly pressed my body against hers.

Like getting drunk on sensations I’d never felt or experienced before.

Pushing forward, mixing our tongues and sharing breath.

+++++

The cool breeze spreading quietly, the faint sound of cicadas outside.

No sound inside the house.

As they kissed deeply, any sounds that should have been heard

Entered each other’s mouths and maintained silence.

“Mmph… hnn…”

Only the occasional sound of exhaled breath.

Kim Sujin’s legs, up on the shelf, wrapped around Kim Donghu’s body.

In a position that suggested she might fall, though there was no chance of that.

Arms around Kim Donghu’s neck, continuously sharing breath.

Deeper, more intense.

Digging to the bottom of each other, exposing everything.

Not hiding desire but pushing forward.

To never forget the intensity of this first moment.

They mixed their firsts deeply.

Licking teeth, occasionally accidentally biting tongues.

Repeating clumsy processes, Kim Donghu’s hands instinctively moved downward.

“Ah, aah….”

As soon as Kim Donghu’s hand touched her waist,

Kim Sujin instinctively flinched.

Rough yet tender.

When that warm hand touched somewhere other than her face, she felt a strange shiver.

‘Just a little more… just a little more….’

Their lips overlapped as they continued exchanging breath.

Even in a position where she felt like she might be devoured.

And even if she were devoured, Kim Sujin wished this moment would last forever.

As their chests pressed together,

Kim Sujin became aware of the state of her body.

‘It’s… standing up….’

The sensation of her body being fully stretched.

At the same time, Kim Donghu’s hand unconsciously moved up her back.

From waist to middle of back.

Where her underwear was.

And.

Click.

As soon as the hook and Kim Donghu’s hand made contact.

‘I’m, I’m wearing mismatched underwear today!’

The oversight suddenly struck Kim Sujin’s mind like lightning.

Of course, she knew men don’t care much about mismatched underwear.

But that only applied within reasonable limits.

‘Not today. It’s too old.’

If it were new mismatched underwear, it wouldn’t matter.

The problem was that this was underwear she’d bought in high school.

‘I didn’t expect this when I came here.’

Smooch.

As soon as the thought finished, their lips briefly separated.

The thin silver thread between their lips broke with regret.

“Let me down… I suddenly have somewhere to go….”

“…You’re leaving now?”

Leaving behind a confused Kim Donghu,

Kim Sujin twisted her body and quickly jumped down from the shelf.

“I have an urgent matter! I mean situation!”

Kim Sujin was just as flustered,

So she hurriedly completed her sentence.

“I need to reject that romantic comedy! I’m going to tell them I’m rejecting it! To settle things!”

In reality, there was no need for that.

She could just say no and be done with it.

After all, what would the daughter of Kim Yuryeon,

The queen of the small screen, need to settle?

“Oh… yeah, that’s important.”

But Kim Donghu was too excited to make such rational judgments.

So he just nodded blankly at what Sujin was saying.

“I’ll be going then. So that’s it for today!”

For today?

‘That’s it?’

What does “that’s it” mean?

What does “for today” mean?

‘I can imagine.’

As Kim Donghu’s mind was turning red,

“Mmm…!”

Seemingly reluctant to leave like this,

Kim Sujin stopped her departing steps and grabbed Kim Donghu’s cheeks.

Smooch, smooch.

Since they’d already kissed plenty, she finished with two pecks.

With a reddened face, Kim Sujin bowed her head.

“I’ll be going now!”

And with that, she ran out of the house.

The red lipstick covering Kim Donghu’s lips

Was the only evidence of what had happened today.

And that night,

For the first time in her life, Kim Sujin made her bed into an igloo.

++++++

The morning after the intense kiss.

“Donghu, did something good happen to you?”

“Huh? Me? Uh, no.”

As soon as I entered the gym, I received an unexpected compliment from Sangha hyung.

“Really? For someone who says that, your face seems… kind of glowing?”

“G-glowing?”

“Yeah, it’s like shiny. This happens when… you know….”

Sangha hyung was about to continue but seemed to realize something.

He suddenly stopped talking and looked at me.

“Donghu, I failed at it, but early marriage might be good for you.”

“What?”

“Well, you don’t necessarily have to get married… if you’re capable, you could even have multiple families….”

“Wait, what are you suddenly talking about?”

“Who knows? The country might go crazy and temporarily allow polygamy, and you might take advantage of that opportunity.”

What is he even saying?

I stopped Sangha hyung from continuing.

“No, no, no, I really don’t understand at all. Coach, please explain again…!”

“There’s a famous saying, ‘With great power comes great responsibility.'”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Well, a handsome face naturally comes with many, you know, responsibilities.”

With that, Sangha hyung very naturally flexed his arm toward me.

“Plus, you’re at this level.”

“Sangha hyung, please!”

What does he even mean by “this level”?

“Just kidding, just kidding.”

That was the end of the joke.

Sangha hyung and I immediately began training.

Time flew by, and it was mid-July.

“It’s about time we should go.”

“Yes, we should.”

Since Olympic boxing usually takes place early in the games,

We began preparing to move to Rio de Janeiro for time zone adjustment.

But this time, there were more people than when we went to the US training camp,

Even though we weren’t departing with the entire team.

“The RedHorn and Adihes teams are joining us.”

“I guess they want to cover you more extensively.”

With the three broadcasting companies’ documentary staff plus Adihes and RedHorn,

We had so many people it was almost like chartering a plane.

“Wow, thanks to Donghu, I get to fly business class so often! I’m living the high life!”

Just as the plane was about to take off,

Sangha hyung suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke to me.

“By the way, you know that famous thing about the Olympics, right?”

“Huh? What?”

“They hand out condoms, Olympic condoms.”

“Athletes’ eyes meet at the Olympics, and they really go at it.

All that energy from young people in their prime, you know?”

Sangha hyung laughed as he said this.

“What are you even….”

I tried to dismiss it with an uncomfortable face.

But right then,

>『Sex frequency increases during Olympics… “It’s a fact, nothing to be ashamed of among adults”』

>You absolutely cannot! Kim Donghu!

>Are you crazy?! You understand?!

A text from Sujin arrived, making me think all sorts of things.

Sending messages like this after we’d kissed so deeply.

‘She’s really making me think strange thoughts.’

On top of that,

>If the athlete accommodations are uncomfortable, let me know

>I can make separate reservations, feel free to consider it

>You could stay in the room next to mine… we could stay together

A text from Evelyn suddenly arrived.

Why are you like this too?

‘This is driving me crazy.’
