I Can’t Study – 2

What does she mean she’s not the only one thinking like that?

What? What are you thinking about?

After returning home after telling Ye-rin to take a day to think about it,

The words Ye-rin said kept circling in my mind.

…Does Ye-rin have those kinds of thoughts when looking at me too?

Of course, Ye-rin would know everything she needs to know, but…

Thinking “Maybe she does” and hearing confirmation from her own mouth were vastly different.

Damn, am I that hot?

After taking off my shirt, I struck a muscle pose in front of the mirror, and my well-defined muscles showed off beautifully.

Sigh…Look at those muscles? I’d say they’re pretty impressive myself, mm.

Satisfied with my appearance that showed the results of all my exercise,

I hummed “Onegai Muscle” while striking various poses,

“Oppa~ Din—”

“…”

“—ner’s rea—”

“…That’s what you came to say?”

“No, I was going to tell you dinner’s ready but I couldn’t help it… But why, why are you like that alone…?”

Se-ah looked at me with a disgusted expression as she asked.

I’m the victim here. Yet somehow Se-ah looked like she was the one who suffered.

I could only silently pick up my clothes from the floor and put them back on.

“Why, why are you getting dressed? It looked good…I’ll leave so you can finish what you were doing…”

“…Could you just get lost quickly? Little sister?”

“Mom-! Oppa said bad words to meee!!!”

Se-ah immediately turned and tattled to mom after I swore. I sighed and rubbed my face without realizing it.

“…I was wrong. I’m sorry, so please knock next time. Please.”

“I did knock but you didn’t hear because you were humming that weird song.”

“…Why didn’t you knock harder?”

“Oppa. Sorry but I don’t want to either? If you put up a sign like ‘Shhh, showing off’ on your door, this wouldn’t have happened~!”

I let out a hollow laugh at Se-ah’s ridiculous words.

“Who puts that kind of thing on their door? And you said it looked good earlier?”

“I said it looked good, not that I wanted to see it again?”

Se-ah slammed the door with a “Hmph!” as her final word.

…Damn, who did that pig get her bad personality from?

Before heading to dinner while grumbling,

I lifted my shirt slightly and tensed my abs, revealing clearly defined muscles.

Damn, Han Woo-jin, you crazy bastard. No wonder Ye-rin’s into you.

**

The next day.

As promised, after a day passed, Ye-rin contacted me to come to her house.

The moment I arrived at Ye-rin’s house, wondering what conclusion she’d reached,

I doubted my eyes.

“…Ye-rin, what are you doing?”

“I-Is this okay…?”

Is this okay?

Obviously oversized black sweatsuit wrapped Ye-rin from neck to toe,

And on her face were big-framed glasses she never usually wore, perched on Ye-rin’s straight nose.

…What is this complete beauty-sealing gear set?

Hearing me say she was too pretty, did she think ‘Then what if I don’t dress pretty…?’

I couldn’t help but laugh hollowly at self-downgraded Ye-rin.

…Don’t girls usually want to show only their pretty side to their boyfriends?

She seemed confident I wouldn’t lose feelings or dislike her even seeing this.

Simply wanting to be with me, that thought alone seemed to fill her mind.

I smiled and slipped off the big glasses from Ye-rin’s face.

“You don’t need to do this. You’re not used to wearing them, they’re uncomfortable. Ah, look at your nose bridge turning red.”

Seeing Ye-rin’s fair skin slightly reddened from wearing heavy glasses she never uses, I felt sorry and gently stroked it.

“B-But if I don’t, you’ll have a hard time…”

This won’t work.

“No, this should be fine.”

However.

— When she wants to be with me this much, what can I do?

I didn’t want to take Ye-rin’s feelings for granted.

…Just think of it as Level 999 Resisting Sexual Desire.

“Really…? Then can we study together…?”

“Yeah, let’s do that. It must have been uncomfortable, thank you.”

“He-he, no it wasn’t. It wasn’t uncomfortable…”

Seeing Ye-rin smile happily while hugging my arm and leading me to her room,

I thought it would be a bit difficult, but inevitable.

I had to put in as much effort as Ye-rin did.

…But the black sweatsuit can stay on a bit longer. Yeah.

She seemed determined not to interfere with my studying.

I could clearly see Ye-rin trying hard.

Like when our eyes met and she’d stare intently before, now she looked for three seconds then weakly turned her head away.

When I reached out and she’d slowly approach, now she didn’t approach with her eyes tightly shut as if suffering.

I could see she’d made her own compromise.

Seeing Ye-rin try so hard, I felt I couldn’t not do my part either.

Today I seemed to study a bit better than usual.

After finishing today’s studying,

I sighed and leaned my tired body against the wall, when Ye-rin cautiously approached, watching my face.

With a plop—

She slipped between my legs and leaned her back against me.

“What are you doing?”

“Recharging today’s insufficient oppa energy…”

As Ye-rin took a deep breath as if really charging up, her soft hair tickled my chin.

“Is that comfortable?”

“Yeah, it’s comfortable… Ah, is it uncomfortable for you, oppa…?”

“No no, not at all. I’m comfortable too.”

Ye-rin was in the mid-160s height range, not short among girls, but…

— Isn’t this why I worked out?

I could easily embrace Ye-rin, holding her tightly from behind for all her hard work today.

Hearing Ye-rin’s peaceful breathing by my ear, somehow I felt energized too…

…But something else got energized too, so I had to pull my waist back a bit.

“Ye-rin.”

“Yesss…?”

“You need to exercise, right?”

“…Oppa. Why do you always bring up exercise at times like this…?”

“Your whole body is so soft. It’s because you have no muscles. Ah, can I touch your stomach?”

“…Today I hate you so no.”

Does that mean it’s okay next time?

Before I could even think that,

Even saying that, Ye-rin pressed my hand placed on her stomach with her own, as if saying it was fine.

Actually Ye-rin didn’t particularly need to exercise. She had no excess fat, and her figure—though I shouldn’t say this—was hard to believe was from not exercising.

But I kept saying it simply because I wanted to share my favorite hobby with Ye-rin.

Just if I said this directly, Ye-rin would definitely do it, so I didn’t give a reason and just waited. I didn’t want Ye-rin doing it reluctantly.

As I hummed and freely touched Ye-rin’s stomach, she noticed I’d pulled my waist back and squirmed to lean back more.

…Emergency, ultra emergency. Woo-jin Armstrong rocket about to land on the moon.

With no more space to pull back, I gently pushed Ye-rin away, and she turned with a “?” expression.

“…Can’t.”

“Why…?”

“…It makes me feel bad?”

Hearing my words, Ye-rin grinned.

Then turning toward me, she put her hands on the ground and moved closer, one step, then another.

Smooch—

I felt a soft sensation on my lips.

“This kind…of feeling?”

Ha.

Seeing Ye-rin smile playfully, I let out a hollow laugh.

…Not knowing the struggle of someone trying to endure.

As I gently placed my hand on Ye-rin’s cheek, as if knowing what I’d do,

Ye-rin softly closed her eyes.

Being this close, there should be some imperfection somewhere,

But Ye-rin was beautiful everywhere I looked.

And that you, now before me with eyes closed waiting for my kiss.

To meet her expectations, I kissed her, and Ye-rin hugged me with a pleased hum.

Usually I’d part lips by now,

But today I had no such intention, so I closed my eyes too.

“…! Heup…”

Ye-rin seemed flustered by the sudden intruder. But after gentle knocks, she soon shyly accepted me.

“Tssup, hyaut…”

I slowly explored everywhere wanting to paint all of Ye-rin with myself, and Ye-rin embraced me to match my movements.

Our breaths mixed and mixed again.

Though saliva had pooled enough that we couldn’t tell whose was whose, with droplets escaping to trickle down our chins,

Neither of us had time to care about such things.

I understood slightly why people close their eyes when kissing.

The sensation felt at the tongue tip.

For this sensation we’d allow only each other for life—I’d gladly focus forever.

“Haah, o-oppa…”

While I was concentrating, Ye-rin struggled to part her lips.

Even then, our lips glistening with each other’s saliva, the saliva stretching between our lips—

The fact that I’d made Ye-rin like this.

More than sexy,

Was infinitely lovable.

“…Why?”

“Ju-just a moment. Haah, I-I can’t breathe…”

What am I even.

You’re definitely tempting me right now, Ye-rin?

My lips curved up at her innocent yet sexy words.

“Ye-rin. Slowly. Breathe slowly through your nose.”

“Hyup…!”

I kissed again without waiting for an answer.

While mental tasks left me no match for Ye-rin, physical ones were different.

Though I’d taught breathing methods, she still gasped and trembled in my arms,

Yet tried her best to accept me matching my movements.

I wanted more of Ye-rin but carefully parted lips thinking we should stop here.

“Ha, haat…”

When I separated, with small gasps she struggled to catch her breath.

…One more time? As that bad thought crossed my mind, Ye-rin spoke with hot breath.

“O-oppa… Today Jin-hyuk oppa’s home so no…”

“…Really?”

…No what?

I was only thinking about kissing…? Where’s Ye-rin’s mind wandering…?

Though Ye-rin said no apologetically, inside I was flustered.

No, more than that, the reason was her family being home?

Then if they weren’t…?

Such thoughts arose without realizing, but I tried not to show it.

“…Anyway, this is that feeling.”

Get it? As I looked at Ye-rin, her hazy pink eyes turned to me.

“…Oppa.”

“Yeah?”

“I still don’t quite understand what feeling…”

As if asking me to show again, embarrassed yet embracing my neck,

— Huh…?

Though I clearly had more physical stamina, I felt like I was the one being devoured somehow.
