Ch.271271. When It Finally Ends

“Wait, there’s no way I would have done that?”

As I listened quietly, I could feel that the story had been distorted a little, no, a lot. It’s very different from how I remember that night unfolding. Back then, we definitely only kissed. Both of us got caught up in the mood and made it a bit intense, but nothing more happened.

I can swear to this. I never touched Hwa Nabi when I was a minor. Those kinds of things definitely happened only after we both became adults.

“Are you trying to back out after pouncing on me?”

“I’m not backing out… I really never did that. Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”

Just to be sure, I quickly went through my memories of that day. The result was obviously innocence; I had never climbed the adult stairs with Hwa Nabi.

Could it be that she’s mistaken? If that’s the case, I waited for her response to correct her, but Hwa Nabi stared at me intently and then clicked her tongue.

“Hubby, you have such a good memory.”

“Don’t change the subject. What are you trying to say?”

Sensing I’d get caught up in Hwa Nabi’s pace if I left things as they were, I steered the conversation back to its original track. When I looked her in the eyes without avoiding her gaze, she spoke bluntly without any sign of hesitation.

“Fine. You’re right. Hubby, you didn’t pounce on me that night and just slept, right? Truly, purely, we just slept on the same bed. …You sleepyhead.”

“……”

I don’t understand why I’m being criticized in this flow of conversation. If I held back in that situation, shouldn’t I be praised instead?

“…Well, that’s right. So?”

“So… there’s nothing more to say. Just, that night. While sleeping with your arm as my pillow, I thought: Ah, this person really cherishes me. He’s thinking of me seriously.”

“Hmm….”

“Right? If not, you would have made a move long ago. Oh, but don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying I was testing you, just that I got that feeling from your attitude.”

“Yeah, I know.”

I roughly understand what she’s trying to say. By not touching the meal laid out before me… she realized from my attitude that I was seriously thinking about a future with her.

“What do you mean you know? You didn’t understand women’s hearts at all. If you really knew, would you have acted like that then?”

“……”

Huh, is that not it? Her sharp response momentarily caught me off guard. Hwa Nabi looked up at me quietly, then smirked.

“Heh, I’m joking. You know my heart, right?”

“Y-yeah….”

I shouldn’t say “no, I don’t know,” right? Swallowing my true thoughts, I nodded, pretending to be calm as if nothing was wrong.

“Heheh, that’s right. Our hubby is so good. Should mommy give you a reward?”

“No thanks. I’m not a child.”

“Why? You like my chest, don’t you?”

“That’s… a bit different….”

When I expressed my refusal, she instead clung to my chest happily. Looking at her like this, she’s really a strange girl. Sometimes I feel like I can see right through her, but at times like this, I can’t figure her out at all.

“Oh, hubby. Did you know?”

“Know what now?”

“I’m wearing really sexy underwear right now.”

“……”

Unconsciously, my gaze slipped out of control and went downward. Hwa Nabi’s chest area was covered by her bathrobe, but the loose tie revealed a glimpse of her skin.

Come to think of it… she was wearing a bathrobe then too, right? I mean the first night we slept in the same bed. I didn’t say anything because I was afraid of looking like a pervert, but actually, I could see Hwa Nabi’s underwear through the gap in her bathrobe.

At that time, I naturally thought that Hwa Nabi had just adjusted her clothes poorly. That it was showing by accident… but maybe that wasn’t the case. In other words, she might have deliberately shown it to seduce me.

“Pink lingerie.”

Just like now.

“…Looks like the fireworks are ending.”

Taking my eyes off Hwa Nabi’s attire, I looked at the distant beach. She seemed to follow my gaze outside, but soon turned her head and buried her face in my chest.

“I’m not interested in that.”

“But since we’re here anyway…”

“The only thing I’m interested in is you, hubby.”

“…Seeing the fireworks, doesn’t it remind you of our school trip?”

Perhaps because I was at a loss for words, I repeated a question I’d already asked. Hwa Nabi looked up at me with a very relaxed expression.

“Ah, that time? Of course I remember.”

“You remember too, right? That time was really…”

“Yes, we kissed so intensely then, didn’t we? We were hugging each other, touching all over, it was crazy. But besides that, I don’t remember much. Do you remember anything else?”

“……”

I can’t see my own expression right now, but if I could, I’d definitely look flustered.

The truth is… I only have a vague memory of it too, and can’t recall the exact circumstances. That’s because the kiss was so intense. How intoxicating it is to hold each other and kiss under brilliant fireworks—I learned that for the first time then.

“Looking at your face, seems like you don’t remember either.”

“…Uh, hmm.”

As I fumbled for words, Hwa Nabi naturally took my left hand and interlaced our fingers. It happened so suddenly that I had no time to react.

Moving directly in front of me, she looked up at me with her back to the balcony, showing no interest in the fireworks.

“Then, shall we remember together?”

“…How?”

—Bang!

The finale of the fireworks. The biggest and brightest explosion went off. And simultaneously, Hwa Nabi embraced me and suddenly pressed her lips against mine.

…Her toes are slightly lifted. Probably because she’s standing on tiptoe to kiss me. I quickly hugged her back, holding her firmly, and supported her waist. Hwa Nabi, as if taking this as some kind of signal, wrapped her arms around my neck and clung to me, entrusting her body to me.

As our balance shifted, I naturally stepped backward. I managed to support Hwa Nabi and bring her to the bed without falling.

Of course, our lips remained connected. Since Hwa Nabi was frantically exploring my lower lip, it was my job to pat her gently and calm her down.

“Mmm… haa, mmm….”

The soft bed sheets against my back, and Hwa Nabi’s soft chest against mine. Having softness on both sides feels really good, but my eyes are fixed on the open balcony door.

I think if I don’t close it now, I won’t get another chance. This could be bad. The sound will leak out tremendously.

“…What are you looking at?”

As I unconsciously tried to reach toward the balcony, Hwa Nabi firmly grabbed my right hand and interlaced our fingers. Thanks to that, I was completely pinned down by her before I could even move.

“Don’t look elsewhere, look at me.”

“Nabi. It’s not that, the balcony door… mmph.”

I tried to say something but couldn’t. That’s because Hwa Nabi pressed her lips against mine while pinning me down with our fingers interlaced.

Even though we’d just started kissing, her tongue slipped into my mouth. While responding to Hwa Nabi’s intense kisses that skipped several steps, I was still wondering how I could close the balcony door.

“Hubby, I said look at me…?”

“……”

“If you keep not focusing on me… I’ll devour you whole.”

She’s already tasting me plenty, so why is she threatening to devour me now?

After making her threat, Hwa Nabi pulled away from my lips, released our interlaced hands, and yanked at the tie of her bathrobe. The bathrobe fell to the floor beside the bed. Hwa Nabi’s fair skin was exposed for all to see.

Her attire was, as she had declared earlier, pretty pink lingerie. The fabric covering the important parts was silk material, and it was the kind of sexy underwear that was somewhat see-through.

Its purpose was obviously nothing more or less than to seduce a partner in bed. There’s no way anyone could walk around outside wearing something like that, right? It would make everyone who passed by go crazy.

“Hubby… aren’t you hot?”

Perhaps because I was pressed against Hwa Nabi who was burning up, I felt like my body was getting hotter too.

So I unconsciously nodded, and Hwa Nabi smiled seductively and began to slowly untie my bathrobe.

“Hold on. I’ll undress you.”

It wasn’t tied tightly, so it came undone with just a light touch.

Thanks to that, my body, covered only by underwear, was exposed before Hwa Nabi, and she looked down at me with slightly moist, trembling eyes.

“Hubby, you’re sweating.”

“Yeah, maybe because the room is hot…?”

“You look so sexy when you sweat….”

Trailing off, Hwa Nabi slowly lowered her upper body. And naturally, she connected our lips again for a deep kiss.

Hwa Nabi wrapped her arms around my neck, and I put my arms around her waist and pulled her slightly. With no gap between us, we frantically licked, sucked, and tasted each other’s upper and lower lips.

Like a flirtatious cat, Hwa Nabi curled up against me and became increasingly aggressive. Her hands, which had been on my neck, gradually moved downward, touching my chest, then kneading my abdomen, and finally tickling the boundary between my underwear and skin.

Just before Hwa Nabi’s fingers could enter, I raised my upper body and reversed our positions. Now I’m properly fired up too and can’t stay still.

“Nabi.”

“Yes, hubby.”

“About what we couldn’t do back then, can I do it now?”

There was no subject, but both Hwa Nabi and I knew exactly which time “back then” referred to. Three years ago, when we were still young. The act we had to stop because of the wall of reality.

At my question, Hwa Nabi covered her mouth with the back of her hand and shyly nodded. Though she didn’t speak, it was essentially permission granted.

As I kissed Hwa Nabi again, I reached behind her back and undid the straps of her underwear. And as I gently removed it, I whispered in her ear.

“Tonight, I really… won’t let you sleep at all.”

“…Yes, please.”

…It was the beginning of a hot, sweet night.
