Chapter Index

    In a room with the lights off. There was no sound in the living room or the kitchen.

    A bedroom with the blinds closed.

    Yoo Ji-min was lying on the bed. I felt a comfortable mattress behind my back and a soft blanket on my stomach.

    “Aren’t you cold?”

    “Yes, it’s okay.”

    However, I was not alone.

    Because Choi Do-hyun was lying on the floor next to the bed.

    Since the house was located on a fairly high rise, the roar of cars did not disturb them.

    She turned around and looked at Choi Do-hyeon under the bed.

    He was lying there, breathing, without saying a word.

    Thanks to dark adaptation, a blessing from God that can only be felt in the dark, his silhouette was visible to some extent even though the lights were off.

    “Do you want to come up?”

    Words thrown around in a light tone.

    “No.”

    “Why? Come in, it’s warm.”

    “Is it warm enough here?”

    While Yoo Ji-min was making light jokes, Choi Do-hyun was constantly watching.

    Timing to bring hidden things to the surface.

    Without offending her sensitive and sensitive emotions, you need to reveal that you are dating multiple people at the same time.

    “If you come in now, I’ll let you touch my breasts.”

    Her words mixed with laughter seemed to lighten the quiet atmosphere.

    “….”

    “It’s true.”

    Choi Do-hyeon stopped talking.

    I pretend to think about it for a moment and create silence…

    “Stop playing around like that. You know I have a girlfriend too.”

    receive words As if there was a crack in the scales of my heart.

    “Do you want to come up?”

    “Just – ”

    “…Please come up.”

    Yoo Ji-min spoke again in a sorrowful voice.

    The tone and voice are different from before. In a more serious and subdued voice.

    Her voice in the darkness had the power to make me want to say yes without even realizing it.

    Although it was a light and pretty voice that was the opposite of the deep voice that leaders were known to have, it had a charm that made people listen to it.

    “Just hold my hand and sleep.”

    “What are you saying?”

    “Then… I’ll sleep with my back turned. Just one day. Huh?”

    “Phew….”

    Yoo Ji-min’s soft voice continued to spread, and Choi Do-hyun climbed onto the bed.

    The bed was large enough for two people to lie down.

    A new person climbed onto the mattress, giving a sinking feeling.

    Choi Do-hyeon turned his back on Yoo Ji-min and looked outside.

    “Good night.”

    What he does is take a lead, approaching more aggressively than Si-Woo, but not approaching too quickly.

    Reading her contradictory psychology, slowly…

    For a while, Yoo Ji-min seemed to keep his promise.

    ‘Is that all for today…?’

    At that time, Choi Do-hyeon, who had to progress further, was wondering whether he should say something.

    Suddenly, Yoo Ji-min rolled over and hugged him from behind. In no time he was tied to her.

    The chest pressing hard and the legs wrapping around the waist.

    “..What are you doing?”

    “What?”

    “Now.”

    “You don’t like me?”

    “Away. I told you, I’m your girlfriend – ”

    “I’m not that good?”

    A dizzying voice comes in, interrupting the conversation.

    It feels like something will break at any moment, as if everything I have is being thrown away…

    Perhaps the atmosphere of the night made her sentimental, but Yoo Ji-min felt her affection for Choi Do-hyeon growing stronger than ever before.

    Maybe his sudden visit melted my heart.

    When I was most lonely, the person who appeared then…

    If you miss this person, maybe there will be another opportunity to escape this terrible loneliness.

    “..They say I sleep with my back turned.”

    “Answer. I’m not that good?”

    “….”

    “No… He’s not here right now, so can’t I just turn around and hug him?”

    “…Let’s sleep. Stop it.”

    “Okay…”

    A little more, a little more.

    Choi Do-hyeon lacked even the slightest bit of confidence.

    If only she came a little closer.

    If you sink just a little bit further into the swamp.

    If you bite the fishing hook just a little deeper…

    I would pull the fishing rod.

    Line ride, line ride… dizzying and complicated, line ride.

    If you’re not sure, don’t go in.

    Only after eliminating even the smallest variables will we take action.

    Yoo Ji-min finished his last sentence and did not say anything else.

    However, this time, he started moving his body.

    Behind Choi Do-hyeon, who was as stiff as a stone, I tried to pound my chest.

    I gave strength to my hugged legs and arms and tried to loosen them.

    She found his hand and tried to put the clip on it with the back of his hand and her palm together.

    “..Why do you keep doing that?”

    “What? I didn’t say a word.”

    “Now, you are speaking with your body. Don’t ignore me.”

    “Then you can just listen to me.”

    Choi Do-hyeon sighed and thought.

    Is it now?

    Is this the end?

    “..Do you like me?”

    “Yes.”

    Immediate reply back.

    The quiet conversation that continued with our bodies pressed together contained extremely turbulent content.

    “I’m not as good a person as you think.”

    “Are you a criminal?”

    “No, not to that extent.”

    “Then it’s okay. Because thanks to you, I was happy, even if only for a moment.”

    Choi Do-hyeon turned his back.

    The two faced each other in a close, very close position.

    If you take a deep breath just a little, your breath will almost touch your skin.

    “Even if I meet you, I won’t break up with Ye-eun.”

    “Huh?”

    “Actually, I meet several people. We know each other.”

    This time, Yoo Ji-min stiffened.

    Sometimes I saw him seem friendly with women other than Jeong Ye-eun, but I never thought it would be to that extent.

    Lamb leg..? Or more.

    But, do the women know that fact…?

    Seeing that it seemed like it took her a while to accept it because it was something she had never thought of, Choi Do-hyun did not stop speaking.

    Like it or not, the die has already been cast.

    “If you don’t mind, come on, hug me. I’ll keep you warm until morning. If you don’t like it… just bury it. From tomorrow, we will be friends like before.”

    “..too much.”

    Was it a failure? I was momentarily confused.

    “Even if you say that now… How can you hate it… Tell me a little earlier.”

    Saying that, she fell into his arms.

    A feeling of warmth and coziness that is completely different from when you hug your back.

    ‘….Okay, I wanted this.. this. This warmth…’

    When was the last time you were hugged by someone while lying in bed?

    When she was a kindergartener, her parents might have hugged her.

    Since then, as far back as I can remember, I have never felt this sense of stability.

    “Tell me one thing.”

    “What is it?”

    “What number am I…?”

    “Fourth.”

    A sigh, a laugh coming out of her mouth.

    “We meet a lot.”

    “I told you, I’m not a better person than I thought.”

    “But it’s okay. Because it’s warm and nice. You promised, that you would hug me until morning?”

    “Yes.”

    “Don’t even go to the bathroom. Keep hugging me.”

    “Can you please look at that?”

    “No. Hug me tighter.”

    “Like this?”

    Choi Do-hyun’s arms gained strength.

    “A little more.”

    After becoming stronger once again, she was satisfied.

    “Tell me you like it.”

    “I like you, Jimin.”

    “Me too.”

    A pleasant laugh came out of her mouth.

    Next, her hand grabbed Choi Do-hyun’s wrist and guided him.

    Next… Prison.

    “…But, no one has ever done something like this on the first day of dating, right?”

    “That’s… But.”

    “I also kept my promise. You said you would let me touch you if you came up.”

    Choi Do-hyun gave strength to his fingers.

    “Heek?!”

    “What, you pulled it.”

    “Ah, no… I didn’t know I would do it this far…”

    She seemed embarrassed and snuggled further into his arms.

    ‘It won’t work today.’

    There was no way to continue the progress to the end.

    Just reestablishing relationships can be seen as a great achievement, so I decided not to be overly ambitious.

    Anyway… I wasn’t in a state of sexual desire.

    Choi Do-hyun took his time and enjoyed this moment.

    Yes, romance isn’t just about hot nights filled with decadence and pleasure.

    Yoo Ji-min was also quite satisfied with the current situation.

    I hugged him tightly, pressed my face against his chest, and felt his scent to the fullest.

    The firm touch and human warmth.

    Choi Do-hyun’s hand slowly stroked Yoo Ji-min’s head.

    When the hand stopped repeating the action a few times, Yoo Ji-min spoke.

    Please continue.

    “I said I like it… Just a little more…”

    I knew that there was a lack of affection that could not be filled from my family.

    ‘..How did you survive all this time…?’

    At this level, it wouldn’t be strange to say that I dated random men several times.

    Because the scale of loneliness seemed bigger than I thought.

    Still, I felt grateful to her for not doing that.

    The narrow appeals she had made to Si-Woo all this time also came from that extreme loneliness, so there seemed to be no need to worry about that.

    After granting his wishes, he went back to sleep.

    “Dohyeon, are you sleeping?”

    And then, Yoo Ji-min woke him up again.

    “No.”

    “I decided to meet somewhere because I liked it?”

    “Why, I’m curious?”

    “Yes. Tell me.”

    A grinning smile peeked through the darkness.

    He constantly wanted to confirm his affection and also wanted to hear it with his ears.

    He stroked her hair again and began whispering stories one by one that she would like.

    So, they talked for a while…

    Darkly, I fell asleep.

    It was warm all night, and no cold or loneliness dared enter the blanket.
