Ch.261261. The Weight of Love

Laughing at my face, are you making fun of me now? I was feeling sorry for getting angry over nothing, but seeing that smile, those feelings completely disappeared.

Without realizing it, I frowned, leaned in closer, grabbed Hwa Nabi’s waist, and stole her lips. But surprisingly, she didn’t seem startled by my sudden approach. Instead, as if challenging me to try, she smiled with her eyes, embraced me back, and gently stroked my hair.

Her hand movements felt like she was soothing a pet. The sensation was strangely familiar and pleasant, which momentarily confused me. Hwa Nabi seized that opportunity to shift into a more advantageous position. Specifically, she pressed her knees against both my thighs and straddled me.

Obviously, this made it impossible to move my lower body freely. I had initiated, but lost control. Even if I wanted to do something, our lips were still pressed together, making it difficult to move freely.

Having secured this advantageous position, Hwa Nabi continued kissing me while freely caressing the back of my head and shoulders.

Her hands gently stroked various places, and when our tongues met, she flinched, making a seductive sound while gripping my shirt tightly. Then, as if she couldn’t help it, she clung to me with her body completely relaxed.

“Mmm… hmm.”

Since she didn’t break the kiss, I got distracted responding to her and lost my balance. In other words, I fell backward.

Thump, my back hit the bed sheets. Anticipating the soft impact, I broke the kiss just before landing and gently embraced Hwa Nabi. My consideration for safer skinship.

But whether she understood this or not, she looked down at me with an expression of great disappointment that I had broken the kiss. Her slightly furrowed eyes seemed to ask me, “Why did you stop?”

In this situation, saying it out loud would seem rather petty. Instead of speaking, I kissed her again. Though Hwa Nabi seemed slightly upset, as soon as I initiated the kiss, she smiled with her eyes and eagerly reciprocated as if nothing had happened.

She wasn’t just responding with her mouth, but very enthusiastically with her hands and certain body parts too. Taking advantage of being on top of me, she pressed her chest firmly against mine while interlocking her fingers and holding tight.

Would it be just my imagination if this action felt like silent pressure telling me not to think about escaping? Since it wasn’t expressed verbally, I couldn’t be certain, but I felt that intention transmitted through our connected lips and tightly clasped hands.

While I was soothing Hwa Nabi’s lips with my tongue and teeth, she pulled away first, perhaps needing air. Our hands naturally separated, and the soft pressure from her chest disappeared.

“Whew. Haaa…”

Hwa Nabi slowly caught her breath. Seeing her flushed face, it seemed she had barely managed to pull away after reaching her limit, but I was just now properly getting fired up.

I’d like to kiss for about an hour, but that would be too exhausting for both of us, so maybe ten minutes would be reasonable. As I tried to raise my upper body to hold Hwa Nabi, she firmly gripped my hand. She was telling me not to get up.

There was hardly any strength in her grip, so I could easily break free and get up if I wanted to, but that wouldn’t be right. It’s not a contest of strength, so what would be the point of overpowering her? I waited for Hwa Nabi’s next move. She must have a reason for this.

Hwa Nabi, sitting upright, caught her breath a couple more times, then lowered her body onto mine, pressing against my upper body. Our chests naturally touched, and I felt that soft pressure again.

As if thinking of me as a pillow to hug, she comfortably leaned on me and interlocked our fingers with a smile. Unlike before when both hands were clasped, this time it was just the right hand.

“My dear husband, you understand without words now, don’t you?”

Hwa Nabi, who had treated me like a pet, smiled faintly. It was an incredibly attractive smile, but I couldn’t readily accept the content of her words. Understanding without words, as if I were a dog or something.

But strangely, separate from being unable to accept it, I didn’t feel like objecting. How should I put it, I don’t want to be treated this way, but I don’t entirely dislike it either.

With these complicated feelings, I quietly gazed at Hwa Nabi, and perhaps misinterpreting my look, she gently offered her lips. Those plump, reddish lips looked so delicious that I quickly kissed them.

Smack, our lips met and parted. An incredibly light peck, and the lingering essence of Hwa Nabi made me feel regretful.

Perhaps because of that, I unconsciously licked my lips. It wasn’t intentional, just an instinctive action.

“What, are you trying to seduce me now?”

“Huh? What seduction?”

“You just wet your lips. Aren’t you making them moist to make me want to kiss you?”

“What are you saying… Someone might actually think that was my intention.”

Hwa Nabi doesn’t seem to be serious either. As proof, she chuckled and brought her face closer. Judging by the direction toward my cheek, she seemed to be going for a cheek kiss, but noticing this, I quickly turned my head and pressed my lips against hers.

Smack, our lips met somewhat awkwardly. Hwa Nabi was slightly surprised by my sudden action. But she didn’t seem to dislike it, looking down at me with a slight smile.

“What’s with the sudden move?”

“I prefer kissing on the lips.”

“I prefer cheek kisses.”

“Then you do cheek kisses. I’ll do lips.”

“Hmm, that seems unfair to me.”

“How is it unfair if we’re both doing what we like? It’s win-win.”

“It’s a win-win that only benefits you.”

Since she was talking too much, another kiss. I firmly wrapped my arms around Hwa Nabi’s waist to support her while pressing our lips together and bringing our bodies closer.

Through our tightly pressed lips, our hot breaths began to mingle. Wanting to be even closer to her, I embraced her tightly, not caring if her chest was being pressed.

As a result, Hwa Nabi couldn’t move at all, but she didn’t seem to mind, focused on tasting my lips. She gripped our interlocked fingers even more firmly, expressing with her whole body that she would never let go.

“Whew… mmm, haum. Hmmm…”

Perhaps due to our rough movements, Hwa Nabi’s bangs and the hair near her ears fell down, tickling my nose bridge. There was a somewhat unfamiliar scent. A shampoo smell not usually present on her. Probably from using the hotel’s shampoo, which made it feel somewhat new.

Her skin scent remained the same, but the changed shampoo fragrance made it feel different from usual, which was secretly exciting. Like newness within familiarity. As if enchanted by that scent, I reached out my hand. Using just the tip of my index finger, I gently arranged and tucked away her bangs and the hair near her ears.

Her hair feels like silk no matter when I touch it. Since Hwa Nabi is the type to take good care of her hair, that’s probably why it’s so fine and soft.

I felt a bit sorry for freely playing with the product of her efforts, but Hwa Nabi didn’t seem to mind this either. Whether I fixed her hair or not, she focused solely on biting, sucking, and licking my lower lip.

“Mmm… haa, smack. Hmm… smooch.”

Since we were alone in the bedroom, I expected things to go this way… but when it actually happened, my heart still raced. We’ve already been intimate and made love many times, but why does my heart pound every time we kiss?

This must be proof of how much I love Hwa Nabi. With this realization, something welled up from deep within my chest. All sorts of indescribable emotions.

“…Whew.”

With each hot breath I exhale, my head gets hotter. As an unidentifiable sense of elation and happiness takes over my body, my thoughts increasingly race toward one conclusion.

I wish this lovable woman were mine.

Continuously, forever.

I know this feeling is selfish possessiveness, but I still can’t give it up. Since I’d rather die than give up Hwa Nabi, no further explanation is needed.

“…Nabi.”

Taking advantage of a brief pause in our kissing, I called her softly. She wiped her lips with the back of her hand and stared at me.

“What is it, husband?”

“Do you love me?”

“Yes, I do.”

“How much do you love me?”

I know it’s a foolish question, a cliché. But I really wanted confirmation. I wanted to know how much she loved me, in words coming from Hwa Nabi herself.

“Hmm… curious?”

“Yes, I’m curious.”

“How much do you love me?”

“Enough that I could die if you asked me to.”

Hwa Nabi was startled by my unhesitating answer. Then she tapped my shoulder with her palm and looked straight into my eyes.

“What are you saying? I would never ask you to die for me. Don’t even think like that. If something happened to you, I don’t know what I’d do.”

“Why, what would happen?”

“Husband. I’m not joking. You’re my favorite person in this world. I have no intention of separating from you no matter what happens, and I don’t plan to live alone either. So if you disappeared or died, I would try everything I could. And if that didn’t work, then just…”

“Just…?”

“I’d throw everything away and follow you.”
