I was startled by the unfamiliar sensation that crept into my mouth, and I blinked my eyes, looking at Ma-yeon-seo.

“Umm!”

At that moment, she twisted her head further, pressing her face against mine and boldly pushed her tongue forward.

“Hmm… chu… churp…!”

Then, gripping my hair tightly, she fervently began to explore my lips.

“Um… umm…!”

Experiencing such an intense stimulation for the first time in my life, I hastily nudged her, signaling her to stop.

I was starting to feel suffocated.

“Puff…!”

Finally, she reluctantly withdrew her lips, sending me a gaze filled with excitement.

“…Haah… haah….”

With saliva dripping from her lips, she breathed heavily, more seductive than anything else.

“You…”

Caught off guard by the considerable shock, I stared at her dumbfoundedly.

And as she looked at me in that way, Ma-yeon-seo smirked and whispered softly.

“Two more times left.”

Yes, this was the consequence of getting the problem wrong.

“Ah…. Two times….”

Gulp. I reflexively replied, swallowing my saliva, and gazed at her with a stupid expression.

As I watched her strangely disheveled appearance, something bubbled up deep within my chest.

Grinning, she suddenly flashed a satisfied smile, parting her plump lips and extending her long tongue.

Squirming, her movements resembled those of a demanding creature wagging its tail.

Enthralled, I absentmindedly opened my mouth, obediently extending the tip of my tongue a little.

“Hawp…!”

And we simultaneously leaned in towards each other.

“Chup… jik… jyurp….”

Ma-yeon-seo, as if trying to leave traces everywhere, vigorously teased with her long tongue.

Under the influence of her excitement, I lost my reason entirely and boldly reached out, placing my hand on her slender waist.

Swoosh. Swoosh. With each brush of my hand, I keenly felt her body shudder.

“Churp… chup… chuwp…!”

While playfully teasing with her mouth, Ma-yeon-seo tenderly stroked my hair with fingers dripping honey-like sweetness.

I moved my hand over her clothes, firmly grasping the softness underneath.

“Huut….”

As she was deeply immersed in the kiss, a soft moan escaped her.

The lingering rationality that had remained amidst this strange whimper was quickly engulfed in flames.

“Mm, ah…!”

Knowing well of her heightened excitement, I slipped my other hand under her top and gently caressed her lower back.

“…!”

Even that elicited a sensitive response, causing Ma-yeon-seo to continuously squirm.

“…….”

After soothing her for a while, I pulled away and gazed at the disheveled Ma-yeon-seo.

“…Haah… Haah….”

Already half-melted and teasingly breathless, she earnestly pleaded with a voice so endearing it felt unfamiliar.

“…Please…”

I decided I couldn’t hold back any longer.

*

Throughout the weekend, we were glued to each other.

From the living room to her room, the kitchen, bathroom, and even the entrance. We were so engrossed in each other that we forgot to eat.

It was as if there were no other pair of creatures in existence.

During that pouring weekend, I learned a few new things about Ma-yeon-seo.

The most important being her weakness.

Contrary to her provocative demeanor, she was surprisingly vulnerable.

It was as if she had high stamina but was riddled with vulnerabilities like a low-level mob character with zero defense.

Her roughness, which she seemed to enjoy so much, made her vulnerability even more apparent.

“…It’s all because of you.”

Well, she blamed me for it, but anyway, since then, we’ve fallen even deeper for each other, becoming much closer than before.

As evidence…

Ma-yeon-seo’s behavior suddenly changed.

“Kang Yoo-chan, your handwriting is terrible!”

“You can’t read it properly, that’s why.”

It was a day when the kids formed groups and conducted class activities.

Since I was seated away from Ma-yeon-seo, I had no choice but to join another group for the class.

During this time, I had a brief conversation with a girl from the same group…

“Really? Were you always good at writing?”

“I can’t believe this. I used to be the best writer in our neighborhood. People thought my mom wrote all the letters.”

“Lies!”

“Can you show me?”

After finishing the class in a rather enjoyable atmosphere…

“Can we talk for a moment?”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“Come with me.”

With a stern expression, Mayeonseo suddenly pulled me behind the building.

“Why are you like this?” she asked, her face chillingly serious. “Why do you casually smile at other girls? Earlier, you were joking around with that girl during class. Did you think I didn’t see?”

I was taken aback by the unexpected accusation and couldn’t react for a moment.

She earnestly warned me, “Don’t smile at other girls in the future. It annoys me.”

It was then that I realized she was secretly jealous.

“Is she really upset over that and brought me here?” I thought to myself. Suddenly, she seemed incredibly cute.

“Okay, I’ll be careful from now on.”

I lightly laughed it off, not taking it too seriously. She remained serious.

“…I’m serious,” she said.

“I’m serious too. Really, what’s gotten into you all of a sudden… Is that why you brought me here?”

“….”

“Sigh, you’re so cute… Come here.”

I gently embraced her as she willingly nestled into my arms, comforting her with affectionate strokes.

“You know you’re the only one for me, right?”

“Yeah…”

“So don’t worry about such things for no reason. Okay?”

“…”

“Not answering… I love you.”

“…Me too.”

I thought I handled it quite well, considering it was a natural occurrence as our relationship deepened.

Something that any couple might experience at some point.

I believed our relationship was just as ordinary as any other, until that incident occurred.

“What’s this?”

“Your birthday present.”

It was a day before the summer vacation.

As usual, I visited Mayeonseo’s house for a “date,” and out of the blue, she handed me a birthday present, specially prepared because my birthday coincided with the summer vacation.

“A gift?! You didn’t have to… ”

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to properly prepare for it again this time.”

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter as I received the small box wrapped in elegant packaging.

Receiving a birthday present alone was nice, but having your girlfriend personally take care to prepare it was something else.

Naturally, I couldn’t help but be delighted.

“Go ahead, open it.”

“Can I open it now?”

“Yeah.”

Sitting across from her at the living room table, I carefully suppressed my excitement and opened the wrapping.

And then…

“…?!”

I couldn’t help but gasp as the gift was finally revealed.

Wrapped in paper was none other than the latest model mobile phone, known for its top-of-the-line features, from a well-known corporation.

“How is it? I chose the same color as mine,” Mayeonseo casually inquired.

Taken aback by a much larger gift than expected, I blinked my eyes and cautiously asked, “Is, is this… really a cellphone?”

“Yeah. You mentioned it was stuttering last time.”

“Well… you did mention it but…”

To remember and take care of something that was casually mentioned in passing. It should have been a situation worthy of being moved, but honestly, bewilderment outweighed joy.

In my perception, even between lovers, there exists a line. But when a gift crosses that line so blatantly, I didn’t know how to react.

“Do open it.”

Mayeonseo subtly urged me to take out the phone, seemingly unaware of my feelings.

‘As I thought, this isn’t right.’

She may be the daughter of a wealthy family, but this seemed excessive. At least, for me.

“That… Yeonseo.”

“Yeah?”

“I appreciate the sentiment, but… this seems too big for me to accept.”

“…Too big?”

Mayeonseo cocked her head as if unable to understand.

I never dreamed I would feel the gap between our social statuses in such an unexpected place.

“Isn’t this incredibly expensive? It must be over a million won… I’m really grateful for your thoughtfulness, but it’s too much for me to just accept…”

“…Is it burdensome?”

I nodded with a serious expression.

“I see.”

Thankfully, she seemed to understand my feelings with a composed response.

“….”

Gazing at the box for a moment, lost in thought, she then met my eyes.

“So, you mean you can’t accept it?”

“…Yeah…”

“In that case, I guess I’ll have to discard it.”

“…What?”

마연서 rose abruptly with an expressionless face.

Then, as if to show off, she picked up the box and started striding confidently toward the veranda.

“Hey, Yeonseo? To throw it away, what’s that about…?”

I called out in surprise, but

Swish. She didn’t stop and went out onto the veranda.

She’s really determined to throw it away.

“Wait, just a moment!”

I hurriedly followed her.

In the meantime, Ma Yeonseo seemed poised to toss the entire box away.

Startled, I desperately grabbed her and frantically tried to tear it open.

“Hey! What are you doing right now!”

“You’re burdensome.”

“Just because of that, you’re going to throw it away?!”

“I have to. Because it’s burdensome.”

Her tone was matter-of-fact, devoid of any emotion, yet clearly laced with thorns.

It was quite upsetting that she didn’t accept the carefully prepared gift.

“Just because of that, you’re going to throw it away?!”

There’s a limit to being impulsive.

Struggling to gather my scattered wits, I mustered up the courage and quickly shouted at her as she attempted to throw the box.

“I-I’ll take it! I’ll take it, so please stop now!”

“You don’t have to force yourself to take it.”

But she even considered me.

She seems thoroughly upset.

“No, no! I think I misunderstood! I really want it back!”

“…”

“Come on, be nice? Hurry up and give it to me. It’s dangerous to do this here…!”

“…You’ll really take it?”

“I really want it! Hurry, open it so I can save your number and everything. Huh? We should use our picture as the background too!”

Finally, Ma Yeonseo seemed to soften a bit.

“Now!”

Seizing the opportunity, I swiftly lifted her and carefully closed the veranda window after bringing her inside.

Phew…

I felt like I had narrowly escaped a disaster.

“Here.”

Whether she knew my feelings at that moment or not, Ma Yeonseo shamelessly extended the phone box to me.

I sighed and quietly accepted the gift.

“…Thank you. I’ll use it well for a long time.”

“Is that all?”

“…I love you.”

“Me too.”

Finally showing a satisfied response, Ma Yeonseo nestled into my arms.

Sigh.

I caressed her as she nestled against me, quietly contemplating.

Somehow, it feels like I’ll be experiencing these kinds of things often in the future.
