Chapter 74: Daily Life

I hadnt intended to share such a deep kiss from the outset.

Yet, the kiss we missed on the bus lingered regretfully, and even upon reaching Eun-has house, the feeling of loss didnt fade.

As Eun-ha reached for the door lock, I took her hand and spoke frankly, prompting her head to tilt slightly upwards.

Gently holding Eun-has face, I slowly enveloped her lips with mine.

The moment her soft lips touched mine, I set down what I was holding.

The sounds escaping our lips as we continued to kiss felt provocatively stirring.

Moreover, Eun-has embrace felt more intense than usual.

As Eun-has lips parted slightly, my tongue cautiously slipped into her mouth.

The kiss felt entirely different from usual, which worried me a bit, but then Eun-ha pulled me in closer.

After a somewhat sticky kiss, we slowly separated.

Haah...

Eun-ha, with a slightly dazed look, snuggled into my arms.

Eun-ha, holding onto my clothes tightly, seemed too embarrassed to leave my embrace easily.

Eun-ha, should we head in now?

Mmm... Just a bit longer... Just a bit longer... I want to stay like this.

With a voice laced with affection, I hugged Eun-ha tighter.

Reflecting on it, that kiss was certainly a bit dangerous.

Ill have to be more cautious next time.

Especially when its just the two of us at home.

Hey, Han-gyeol...

Yeah? Whats up?

Eun-ha gently lifted her head from my embrace.

Did my lipstick tint smudge?

No, it didnt smudge.

Really? Then we can continue a bit more.

What?

Its still not enough. Just a little more...!

Eun-ha grabbed the collar of my shirt and stood on her tiptoes.

She enveloped my lips again, wrapping her arms around my neck.

Leaning into me slowly, she resumed the kiss we had shared moments before.

Though her movements were clumsy, they were endearing and filled with love.

I too closed my eyes and pulled Eun-ha into an embrace.

As our tongues intertwined, the feeling of growing love was palpable.

Thinking we should head inside soon, I slowly pulled back.

Ah...

Eun-ha opened her eyes slowly, still looking unsatisfied.

Her expression was adorable and lovable, but we couldnt stand in front of the house forever.

Shall we go in now?

Um... Yeah. Did my lipstick tint smudge?

If I say it didnt, are you going to kiss me again?

You caught me... Then, lets just hold each other a bit longer before we go in.

Her arms, previously around my neck, now clung to my waist.

I held Eun-ha tightly in my embrace.

Gently stroking her hair, we waited until the lingering feelings faded.

Han-gyeol.

Yeah.

Lets go inside now.

Okay.

As I picked up the items that had fallen to the ground, Eun-ha turned around and pressed the door lock.

Entering the house, we found Hyun-joo Noona sitting on the living room sofa.

Were back~

Did you have a good time?

Yes, we had a lot of fun. It looks like Eunwoo Hyung went out?

Yeah, he said he was going to meet some friends. Im also planning to head out after dinner. Are you guys hungry?

Yes, we didnt eat much at the pool.

Is that so? Are you hungry now, Eun-ha?

After pondering Hyun-joo Noonas question for a moment, Eun-ha looked at me and replied.

Um- I think I ate a lot. Im full.

Really?

Han-gyeol, Im going to change clothes.

Ah- okay.

Eun-ha gracefully walked into her room.

What was that? Why did she glance at my lips and say she was full?

Han-gyeol, how was Eun-ha in her bikini~?

She was incredibly beautiful... Beyond what words can describe.

Really? Then you should have seen it; Eun-ha must have tried on about twenty swimsuits with me~

Hyun-joo Noonas voice must have carried to Eun-has room because she quickly opened the door.

Ah, Unnie-! Dont say that-!

Whats the harm~ You even picked out such bold swimsuits~

No, its not like that-! It just happened to be the prettiest one-!

Phahaha-! Lets just say thats the case~

Unnie-!

Eun-has efforts to please me were endearing.

I, I also really liked that swimsuit-!

My attempt to support Eun-ha backfired, making her more embarrassed.

Hmm~ So you liked the bold swimsuit, huh?

Ah-! Thats not what I meant...!

Ahahaha-! Alright! Lets just say thats the case for Han-gyeol too~

Unnie-!

***

After dinner with Eun-ha and Hyun-joo Noona, I was heading home.

Eun-ha naturally followed behind me as we strolled around the park.

Han-gyeol, today was so much fun. Ah, if only we werent a student preparing for exams, Id travel all over the place with you. Its a pity.

I feel the same. Id love to go places with Eun-ha too. But for me-

You mean its already good as it is, right? Of course, I love it now too.

How did you know what I was going to say?

I guess I can read your mind a little now, Han-gyeol.

Eun-ha smiled brightly and held my hand tightly.

Really?

Yeah, yeah! You know, when I look at other couples, it all seems pretty much the same. In spring, they go see cherry blossoms, in summer, they go for a swim, in autumn, its leaf peeping, and in winter, playing in the snow. These are all places you could go with family or friends, not just with a partner, right?

Thats true.

But for me, going to the pool with family or friends doesnt compare to the joy of going out with you, Han-gyeol. It might be rude to my family and friends, but I cant deny feeling this way.

Indeed, if we look closely at couples, their dating patterns are largely similar.

Im just happiest when Im with you, Han-gyeol.

Eun-ha swung our clasped hands back and forth, clearly delighted.

It was embarrassing, but I felt truly loved.

How could I not feel this way when she smiles so brightly and is so happy?

Really? Youd be happy with the same kind of dates every day?

Of course! I do want to explore different places with you, Han-gyeol, but ultimately, what I really want is just to have you by my side.

What would you want to do then if Im always by your side?

I think thats enough for me. What more could I ask for? If I had to choose, maybe just holding hands and walking like this?

Ill make sure it can always be like this.

You dont have to try so hard. Youre already doing enough.

Still, I want to treat you even better, Eun-ha.

At my words, Eun-ha beamed a wide smile and said,

You want to treat me well?

Of course.

Good. Then Ill tell you the perfect way to do that!

Did you have something in mind? You should have said so sooner.

Letting go of my hand and placing her hands behind her back, Eun-ha shyly said,

Meet with me again tomorrow.

Eh? Thats a given.

Then meet with me the day after tomorrow, too.

Isnt that also a given?

And the day after that as well.

Whats that~? Tell me what you really want.

I urged her to speak her true desire, but Eun-ha kept repeating similar requests.

Meet with me the day after that, and the day after that, and five days later too. Lets meet every day. Got it?

Really? Is that all you want?

Yeah, yeah. Thats all I need. I want to see Han-gyeol every day. Even if its just for a brief moment, meet with me every day. Got it?

Seriously? Thats all?

If its something I want from Han-gyeol, thats all there is to it.

Looking into Eun-has eyes, I could feel the sincerity in her words.

Suddenly, my face heated up with a rush of embarrassment.

Aw-?! Is Han-gyeol getting shy?

Say something more difficult...

Something more difficult?

Yeah. Like asking me to bring you a star.

Got it. Ill think of something more difficult.

Eun-ha closed her eyes, seemingly pondering for a moment before her eyes suddenly sparkled with an idea.

Ive got it!

Lets hear it.

Hug me tomorrow, and the day after too.

Come on, not the easy stuff~ Something else.

Seeing Eun-has charming smile naturally brought one to my face as well.

And kiss me tomorrow, and the day after too.

Her adorable request had me bursting into laughter, despite us being in the park. Passersby glanced our way, but I couldnt help myself.

Stop laughing~ Will you do it?

Yes, I promise. Ill hug and kiss you tomorrow, and the day after too.

Youre making a promise, Han-gyeol? You better keep it.

Im all aflutter. What if I break my promise?

Ill have to show you how scary a beast can be.

Eun-ha, youre already quite the beast.

Stop teasing me about being a beast. What animal do you think suits me, Han-gyeol?

Eun-ha? Let me think...

Choose your words wisely, Han-gyeol.

Even her warning was endearing.

I wanted to tease her, despite knowing it would betray her expectations.

A lion. Ahh!

No sooner had I spoken than Eun-ha bit my shoulder.

Ouch! That hurts, Eun-ha!

Grrr...

Despite feeling like I was bitten by a tiger, I couldnt stop laughing.

Okay, okay, Ill speak properly. Just let go for a moment.

This is your last chance-

Eun-ha issued a warning, but my playful spirit remained.

A cute small animal-

Right, which cute small animal?

-thats hunted by a lion-

-Come here. Im taking you home.

Its a joke, a joke! Lets go with a rabbit-!

Its too late now!
