Work Text
Yiseo was upset. That’s all Saeroyi could understand at that point. The day before, she had stormed out of the room in the middle of their founders meeting, giving him a look with furious eyes. Why exactly she was upset, he wasn’t sure. They had done everything they could to manage the situation, and it was now time to accept there was no other way. They had to partner with the Oppotown firm. From the beginning, she seemed opposed to the partnership, but strangely, she hadn't told him why. She just said her gut told her so. But he could sense there was another reason, deep down. She was always so open and truthful with him, he wasn't sure why she wasn't with this. To be honest, he hadn't really wanted to work with the Oppotown firm either. But they had reached a point where they had no other options anymore. If they wanted to stay competitive in the market, they needed that help.Sitting on his chair in front of his desk, he kept opening and closing his pen. What could be the reason? Of course, he had tried to talk to her. But she wasn't in her office or at home and he couldn't reach her. He called her. He sent her texts. She wasn't responding. This was very unusual.A knock on the door made him look up. Hyun Yi.“Hey. Oppa, I've got some intel on Yiseo.”Saeroyi jumped from his seat, took his coat and his phone and said :“Where is she? I’ll go pick her up now.”Hyun Hee sighed.“I don’t think it’s gonna be possible..”“Why?”“Don’t worry. She’s in the hospital but..”“What?”Saeroyi’s heart started beating faster and his breathing got harder. After the kidnapping six months earlier, all the tests had come back positive, the doctor had said she was fine. What was going on ?Hyun Yi put a hand on his arm.“She’s going be fine. She fainted again while on her way home yesterday. Got in a car accident but thankfully, no one’s hurt. Toni was right behind her and took her to the hospital. The doctor said it’s her anemia again. The car might have to be replaced though. Her battery is out so she wasn’t able to let you know.”“I’ll go right now. Which hospital is she at ? I’ll bring her some clothes and things she needs and her charger.”“Oppa. Oppa, the thing is.. she doesn't want to see you right now.”Saeroyi stopped and turned to face Hyun Yi.“What?“She is.. She’s upset with you.”“Is it about the Oppotown contract ? I know she felt it wasn’t right but she wouldn’t...“I don't think that’s about work.”Saeroyi looked at her frowning and with an interrogative look. Hyun Hee sighed and let out a small smile.“Oppa, let's have a quick chat. I need coffee.”Sitting at the terrace of the new Danbam Café right next to ICs offices, Saeroyi was facing Hyun Yi with that worried look on his face. Men, thought Hyun Hee. How oblivious they can be to the obvious.“Oppa, do you remember our conversation at lunch yesterday?”Saeroyi thought for a moment.“Oh, ne. The business trip to Europe next month to do the tour of the subsidiaries.“Ne. But we also talked about something else..”Saeroyi frowned even harder.“Oh right, we talked about Soo Ah’s new brand opening trip in Bali coming up in July.”“Exactly,” said Hyun Yi, "you're getting there, we talked about Soo Ah and you said that..Saeroyi touched his scalp with his hand.“I can’t recall.”“You said that she had invited you.”“Right. She invited me.”“And what did Yiseo say?”Saeroyi touched his hair again. Suddenly, his eyes brightened. “She said that I hadn't told her.”That was when their conversation had ended. Saeroyi had received a call about the upcoming deal and they were back into work mode. But now that he thought about it, Yiseo had not talked to or smiled at him after that. Everything was getting clearer. “She's upset that I didn’t tell her ? I didn’t think it mattered, I wasn't planning on going.”Hyun Yi shook her head in disbelief.“Oppa, Yiseo waited for you for years, because you were engrossed in work and because you were stuck on Soo Ah being your first love. You didn’t think it mattered that Soo Ah invited you to join her trip, alone?”“I love Yiseo. I am with Yiseo. That won’t change.”“I know that. But for all that she appears confident and bold and self-assured, when it comes to you, I think sometimes Yiseo needs to be reassured of your love. She kept trying to make you see it but you were so stressed about work I think you were oblivious to it.Saeroyi's eyes were tearing up now.“I would never... I need her everyday. Just this past day without her felt like..”He couldn’t even finish his sentence.“I know. I am not the one you need to tell.”Saeroyi stood up from the chair and looked at her gratefully.‘Thank you. Thank you, Hyun Yi”.And he started running.Yiseo was laying down in the hospital bed. Bored. Toni had brought her a book but she finished it already and her phone was dead. She would have gone home, but the doctor had said she needed to stay for one more night, and as Toni was guarding her, she didn't have much of a choice. He didn’t look like it, but he could be surprisingly fierce and stubborn sometimes. Well, anyway. That was the reason she was still here.Toni passed her head through the door.“Yiseo, how are you feeling ?”“Even better than the last time you asked. Looking forward to going back to the office. Are you sure the doctor said tomorrow ? Because I feel just fine right now.”“Yes, he did. Just a couple more hours and you’ll be rested and released.Yiseo sighed.“Yeah. If I don't die of boredom before that.”Toni chuckled.“Toni !”The voice was coming from the corridor, he turned his head and then back to Yiseo and added : “Seems like someone is coming to see you. Treat him well.”All of a sudden, Toni was gone, and another very familiar face had appeared.She was mad at him right now yet she couldn't stop her heart from beating hard. How was it that even now that they were officially together, even though she could see and touch him everyday without needing an excuse, her heart still raced just by looking at him.Oh, she hated herself right now. Why was she being so weak? She was supposed to be mad at him.He approached the bed with a worried look, looking like he had been crying. His eyes were red and his hand shaking as he said :“Yiseo-a. Mianhae, Yiseo-a. Are you okay, nae sarang?Looking at him now, seeing him so concerned made Yiseo’s anger fade away, leaving only the deep love she felt for him.“Daepyonim..."Saeroyi took a deep breath.“I was so worried about you.”Yiseo squeezed his hand.“Gwaenchana. I am fine. The doctor said I just need some injections and I can leave tomorrow.”Saeroyi nodded and said :“You have to take better care of yourself. Take some days off. Rest. The company will be fine.”“Ani. I'll be back tomorrow. I just need those injections and I’ll be back to normal.”“Yiseo-a..”“I promise. I am not gonna overdo it.”She bit her lips and added.“But..if you really want me to rest, we could always go somewhere together. Just the two of us, like on a couple trip.”Saeroyi raised his head as she was looking at him with those big expectant dark eyes, daring him. He smiled. That was his girl.“Ne. I suppose we could. That would be nice.”“Really?!”She jumped onto him and surrounded him with her lean arms. He hugged her back fiercely and patted her hair,I know I haven't always put you first, but that will change. I just wish I would get better at expressing how much you mean to me so you wouldn't have to doubt it, he thought.Saeroyi placed his head on her shoulder and they stayed comfortably in each other's arms for a moment. How warm it felt to be surrounded by her. How had he even been able to be without her ?There was a knock on the door. A nurse came in.“Sorry. I need to do Ms.Jo’s injection.”“Of course,” said Saeroyi while getting up.A hand held him back.“Stay.” Yiseo asked.“Can he stay ? He’s my boyfriend," she added to the nurse. “Sure.”Saeroyi smiled as he sat back on the bed and interlaced his fingers with hers.“I’ll stay right here.”As the night settled down, Yiseo and Saeroyi were chatting, lying on the hospital bed.“Are you certain I can be here? The nurses might enter and.."“Ne. Don’t worry. I paid a lot to have a private room. I am allowed to have my boyfriend with me. Besides, you have no choice.”“No choice?”“Ani,” she replied as she placed her head on his shoulder and let her whole body be heavy on him, “I missed you too much.”Saeroyi petted her hair.“I tried to call you and I went to your house. I looked for you everywhere," murmured Saeroyi, “I couldn't find you.”“Mianhae,” said Yiseo with a small voice, “I was just so upset.”She added, “Even if I know nothing is going on, I just get so jealous when you talk about her.”He pulled her arm so that she would raise herself on his chest to look at him.“Soo Ah was a significant part of my life, that much is true. She was there when my father died and I think, maybe.. she gave me hope when I was in prison. But I don't harbor any romantic feelings towards her now, Yiseo. I promise you. I only see you. My love for you is so strong, it’s unlike anything I have ever experienced. Mani Saranghada, Yiseo-a."He cupped her face with his hands as he kissed her, once, twice, then a third time. Yiseo ran her hand down his torso and bit her lip again.“You know, what upset me the most was that you didn’t tell me.”“Mianhae. I wasn’t planning on going so I didn't think anything of it. She just invited me as an old friend.”Yiseo sighed. “I know. Just, next time, maybe, tell me?”Saeroyi smiled and nodded: “I promise. I’ll tell you.”Satisfied, Yiseo rested her head heavily on his heart. As he held her close, she could hear his heart beating. They will be fine.As she was falling asleep, she heard Saeroyi add slowly : “You know, even in my dreams, during all this time I spent planning my future... I couldn’t have imagined a better partner than you. Gomawo. Saranghae. We'll be happy together.”As he hugged her fiercely and kissed her forehead, happy tears wetted her cheeks. She couldn't have envisioned a better life either.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Yiseo was finally leaving the hospital room. Two days may have been a short time, but it felt like an eternity. Saeroyi had stayed with her the whole night, holding her - just remembering his hands around her, his scent, made Yiseo smile. During the night, she had the satisfaction of seeing the impact she could have on him. When her hand brushed his waist, she could feel him tense and when she looked at him, she could see the lust in his eyes. He wasn’t as prude afterall.In the six months they had been together, they did things, sure. Like holding hands, hugging, and kissing - a lot of kissing, especially when she had a say in it. They could make out for hours, and she could see how much self-control he was trying to maintain. She wanted to tell him he didn’t need to hold back, that they could go all the way, that she wanted him just as much. But those conversations were difficult to initiate. She wasn’t sure how to start. He was inexperienced, and she wasn’t. She had her fair share of experiments in her teens, but she sensed it would be different with him. That the love they shared would make everything better. She certainly did not want to mess it up. She was so scared of doing the wrong thing that she preferred not to push him too hard.That’s why that night at the hospital, her actions remained as innocent as always, even though her mind wandered into forbidden territories.Right as the sun began to rise, he awoke, gave her a soft, sweet kiss on the lips, and got up. They had an important meeting with the stakeholders before the launch of the new campaign and he needed to be there. She wanted to join of course, but he was completely insistent. She had to rest until the doctor said otherwise. He persuaded her by promising to pick her up and drive her home at the end of the day.After her final check up with the doctor, she quickly took a shower, dressed in the sexy outfit she had convinced Toni to pick up from her house, and applied her “natural” make-up.She had every intention of making the drive much more than a simple trip. Tonight, she was going to seduce her man like never before.Saeroyi was driving, feeling anxious. The traffic was busy that day, he was worried he wouldn't arrive on time. He had picked up flowers on his way. Yiseo had mentioned once that even though she considered herself a feminist, she enjoyed receiving flowers. He knew her followers regularly sent her bouquets of roses, but Saeroyi himself had never made that gesture. He had decided that now was the time to change that.He received a call. It was Seungkwon.“Hi Seungkwon”“Hyung, we just received a call from the Chinese. They want to double their orders ! Should I call Yiseo to see how to arrange that? She’s in charge of that but since..“Ani.” Saeroyi interrupted him. “I am picking her up today from the hospital and then we are going on a weekend trip. Please do not contact her for work until Monday.“Yes, I understand, should I tell the Chinese no then ?”“Ani. I trust you Seungkwon. Do as you see fit. Reach out to me when you're unsure. Just me.”“Alright, thank you Hyung. Take good care of Yiseo.”When Saeroyi arrived in front of the hospital, Yiseo was already outside with her luggage. She waved at him with a big smile on her face when she saw him. He took the bouquet of flowers and got out of the car.“Daepyonim !”She ran towards him and he opened his arms to welcome her. As soon as their bodies touched, he felt her warm skin and sweet smell against him. He closed his eyes, savoring the moment.“Daepyonim. If you hold me like that a moment longer I am gonna die from apnea,” she joked.He released her, realizing he had been holding her too tightly.“Mianhae,” he apologized.She looked at him with sparkling eyes.“Are those flowers for me?”“Ne. Here,” he handed her the bouquet.She took it with excitement and smelled the flowers.“I love it. Gomawoyo.”He smiled and took her hand.“Kaja”Saeroyi parked the car in front of her building and opened the door for her. Yiseo got out, holding her bouquet closely to her chest and smiling to herself.“See you tomorrow?,” said Saeroyi squeezing her hand. Yiseo bit her lip.“Can’t you stay a bit longer?”Saeroyi smiled softly at her as he replied:“Ne.”He took her luggage and held her hand as they rode the elevator up to her apartment. Although he had been before, he felt nervous. Since the night before, he had made an important decision and couldn’t think about anything else.“Do you want something to drink?”“Ne.”They sat down on the couch in her living room, each holding a glass of soju. It was almost dinner time, but Yiseo didn’t feel hungry. Well at least not for food. The night at the hospital had given her a glimpse of what a night with him could be like - warm, sweet and sexy. He had been so sweet to her, buying her flowers and being so gentle. She was finding it harder to resist. The thing was, she knew her man didn’t have much - any - experience in that area. She would have to take the lead. But for some reason she couldn’t understand, she felt shy.Saeroyi was the first to break the silence.“Are you feeling better, truly?”“Ne. So much better. The doctor said I should be fine for at least 3 months.“That’s good,” Saeroyi said while nodding.Then he soflty took her hand and raised his eyes to meet hers. He had thought of doing that differently, maybe with a bit of planning, or asking Hyun Yi for help. But sometimes not planning was the best decision, and today, it just felt right.Yiseo, sensing he wanted to express something, waited for him to speak.“I want you to be healthy - and happy. And I know sometimes, being with me is.. challenging,” said Saeroyi.“Being with me is no simpler affair either,” whispered Yiseo.Saeroyi took smiled at that, took a breath and continued.“I know you’re waiting for me. To reach the place where you already are, to do all the things couples do, like travel and make plans for the future.“I don’t mind. I waited 4 years already for us to be together and now we are. I can wait a bit longer for all the other things. If you need more time..”“Ani,” said Saeroyi, “I don’t want more time. I want to explore everything with you. I want to be ..”, he thought for a moment, “.. fully with you”.“I want that too,” said Yiseo as she interlaced her fingers with his."I want us to continue being partners, in IC and in life. I know it is not always going to be easy, ..”Saeroyi continued.Yiseo was listening attentively, her eyes not leaving him.“.. but as you said six months ago, I will do my best. Because when I am with you, my nights are no longer bitter, but sweet. And I am happy. The happiest I’ve ever been.”He reached for something in his pocket and took a breath :“So, let’s get married.”He opened his hand and a simple diamond ring appeared.Yiseo was staring at him and couldn’t breathe. Had this man just proposed to her ? Would he never stop surprising her ? They had never talked about marriage and she certainly hadn’t imagined this happening so early. After all, it had taken many years for him to even be aware of his feelings for her. Marriage wasn’t high on her list of expectations. But she realized clearly now that it was just who he was. When Saeroyi was in, in was fully in. He had realized he loved her. They were dating. He wanted to marry her. That was it. Simply Saeroyi-esque.“Yiseo-a?” asked Saeroyi softly.Yiseo hadn’t realized tears had started coming down her cheeks. She smiled beneath her tears and nodded :“Ne. Let’s get married.”He smiled brightly and put the ring on her finger. Then he cupped her face to wipe away the tears on her cheeks. She moved her lips closer to his and finally, they kissed. Softly. Lovingly. Their lips danced in the newfound joy of the future they decided to share.Moments later, they were sitting on the couch, snuggled together. As Yiseo was admiring her new ring, she said:“It’s so pretty.”“It was my mother’s. My dad gave it to me when I was a child. He said I might find some use for it when I grow up.”Yiseo turned to him and declared, “Well, he was definitely right. It fits perfectly, as it should.”She settled on his chest again and added softly, “I wish I could have met your parents. To thank them.”“Thank them for what ?”“For making you.”Saeroyi hugged her fiercely and kissed her cheek.“I am so looking forward to telling my mum !”Saeroyi opened his mouth as if to say something and then closed it.“What?” asked Yiseo.“I told her.”“You told her what?”“That I wanted to marry you. I asked for her blessing”.Yiseo laughed.“Why am I surprised ? Daepyonim, you are so old fashioned.”She added : “Can I conclude she approved ?”He smiled and nodded.“Well, lucky me. Would you not have proposed if she hadn’t?”“Ani. I would have convinced her.”“That’s my man.”“She said you had told her one day that you could have everything, a career and love.”Yiseo bit her lips and then looked at him, nodding. Looking at her ring, she said softly : “Well, I was right, wasn’t I ? I can have it all after all.”Looking up to him, she added : “We’re planning on doing this forever, right ?”Frowning, Saeroyi asked, “Doing what?”“Marriage.”“Oh. Yes,” he replied, matter-of-factly, “Marriage is forever.”“Good.” She placed her head on his shoulder and continued observing her ring with a satisfied grin.Suddenly, Yiseo’s phone rang and she stood up from her seat.“Oh, it’s Hyun Yi.”Answering the call, she layed down on the couch, with her head on Saeroyi’s lap.“Hyun Yi Onnie, guess what?”“Hmm, did you and Oppa finally do it?”Saeroyi frowned. Was it a gossip topic among their friends ?“We are getting married !”While she was chatting on the phone, Yiseo played with his hand and threw sweet smiles at him. Seeing her so excited made Saeroyi really happy. She deserved to feel loved and cherished and all he could offer her.His own phone rang not long after and he raised Yiseo’s head to reach it. She pouted as he gave her a peck and took the call. It was the IC Secretary’s Office.“Hello ?”“Mr Park ? Mr Choi Seungkwon told me that Ms Jo is on sick leave and not to be disturbed so I am calling you. There is a man here to see her. His name is Cho Paeu. He said it’s important.”“Cho Paeu?” Saeroyi repeated, thinking. Where had he heard this name ?Yiseo was observing him at the corner.“Hyun Yi Onnie, let me call you back.”She stood up and joined him.“What is it?”“Do you know someone named Cho Paeu ? He wants to see you.”Yiseo’s face paled.“I..”“He said it is about the Oppotown deal.” the secretary said over the phone.Saeroyi, observing Yiseo, replied :“Tell him to leave his number and I’ll call him tomorrow.”He hung up and asked, “Yiseo-a, what is it ?”Yiseo’s eyes showed a mix of fear and annoyance. Why the hell would this guy show up today of all days ? What an annoying coincidence. But Saeroyi loved her. He wanted to marry her and be with her forever. Surely, he wouldn’t leave her for that. Everything was going to be fine.She took a big breath before she said:“You know I am always honest with you.”Saeroyi nodded.“Yes, that’s one of the things I love about you.”“And you know since I met you, I’ve only had eyes for you,” she continued.Saeroyi nodded again.“Ne.”“The thing is, I have a past. I may be young but I’ve had.. experiences. In my teens,” she said.She sighed and added : “And well, Cho Paeu and I have.. a history. When I was in high school, in the US, we.. fooled around a bit. Of course, he doesn’t mean anything to me. I am just telling you because I don’t want to hide anything from you.”Saeroyi felt his heart tighten. He had assumed he wouldn’t be her first sexual partner. The way she kissed him, showed her desire for him. She was confident and knew what she was doing. He believed he would be fine with it. It was normal to have experiences, he was the abnormal one. But hearing her say it actually made it harder to digest than he thought.He wasn’t saying anything.“Daepoynim ?”She was observing him now. She took his hand and squeezed it.“Royi-a ?”He finally raised his eyes to meet hers. She was worried, biting her lips, waiting for him to say something, anything. He was usually so detached and rational about these things, she was surprised he was reacting like that.He opened his mouth but no words were coming out.“Royi-a ?”He engulfed her in his arms and held her, tightening his grip on her.“I know I have no rights, and it was long before we met, yet I feel so… jealous.” When Saeroyi said this last word, he seemed surprised at his own realization. He felt possessive of her. That was new.“I understand,” said Yiseo. Of course she did. He knew she understood. Himself could also finally understand now how she had felt about Soo Ah being in his life all these years, the privileged place she had in his heart before Yiseo came along.Yiseo caressed his back and pressed kisses on his neck. “I would have been so upset if you had been with someone else. You know, I was so young. I just wanted to know what sex and all that fuss was about. Honestly, it wasn’t a dazzling experience. It definitely wasn’t love.”She withdrew from his embrace to face him.“I’ve only ever been in love with you.”He searched for her lips and kissed her, with a fierceness that was new to him. Lips locked, tongues intertwined, he wanted to prove to himself and to her that she was his. Yiseo let him hold her close and responded to his passion, trying to reassure him that he had nothing to worry about. She wanted to prove it to him.“Would you stay here with me tonight ?”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Saeroyi was staying the night and when he agreed, Yiseo felt her heart skip a beat in her chest. She was so excited. He had decided to cook dinner and she was in charge of setting the table and choosing the music. This night was going to be memorable. During dinner, they mostly talked about work, and a bit about their upcoming weekend. Saeroyi announced to her that he had booked flights to Jesu’s islands and they were leaving the next day. She had been worried that the information about her past relationship with Cho Paeu would cast a shadow on them but Saeroyi seemed fine. He smiled at her, touched her hand all the time and patted her head. They were fine. Yiseo had declared that she was going to do the dishes and that he should just rest on the couch. It was only fair, as Saeroyi had cooked the whole meal. Suddenly, she felt his arms wrapping around her waist and his breath on her neck. “Did you miss me ?” she asked playfully, “I am almost done.”Saeroyi didn’t answer but started kissing her neck, her ears, and caressing her belly. His hand went under her dress and tickled her navel. Yiseo closed her eyes. He had never been so daring before. Maybe the dishes could wait. It could definitely wait. She threw her gloves and turned to face him. He had a look on his face, lust in his eyes she hadn’t seen before, almost like he was possessed. She raised herself on her toes and pressed her body against his, her breath right against his lips. “Royi-a, if you’re trying to turn me on, it’s working,” said Yiseo with a sly smile. “I.. I want you, Yiseo-a” Saeroyi replied, almost as a confession. It was as if he felt guilty for feeling that way. Yiseo gently catched his upper lip and sucked on it before releasing it. “I want you too, Royi-a.”Hearing her words, a fire ignited inside him. His hands held her waist tightly against his. He passionately kissed her, his tongue exploring every inch of her mouth and tickling every nerve. Still kissing, Yiseo began running her hands over his back under his shirt. She could feel his response to every touch as he pulled her closer. Pulling up his shirt, he allowed her to step back and look at him. She could see his scars which she gently caressed before moving on. She felt his defined abs, strong arms, and muscular shoulders, under her touch. Such a sexy man he was, her man. He reached for her and lifted her onto the counter, continuing their kiss. He couldn’t get enough of her. Her tongue then found his ears, then his neck once again, as she began licking and nibbling on his soft skin. She felt Saeroyi’s hands go under her dress, but then he stopped. His lustful eyes were looking at her, silently asking for permission. She helped him remove her dress, leaving her in just her laced bra and underwear. His hands caressed her skin exploring every inch, from her curves, to her arms, to her neck. He began planting sweet kisses on her collarbone, then gently licked her there. As his hands brushed against her breasts, she couldn’t help but moan. “Royi-a”He stopped and looked at her, worried. “Ani, don't stop, just..” She caught his lips again while unclasping her bra. “You can touch everywhere. Anywhere you want, Royi-a.”Her bra fell down on the floor. Looking at her perky breasts, Saeroyi felt the manly desire in him that he had restrained for so many months awaken fiercely. Her tits were so pink, he caressed them with his fingers and felt them harden under his touch. He could see Yiseo seemed affected by it. Her breath had shortened and she was looking at him expectantly. “Can I kiss them?” She smiled victoriously at him and moved her breasts closer to his mouth. He lowered his head and kissed her breasts gently. Then he took one nipple in his mouth, his tongue teasing it. He could feel her skin responding and when he looked up, he saw Yiseo watching him with desire.“Oh, oh that feels good” Yiseo murmured “Don’t stop” He continued with her breast then switched sides, tasting, sucking, and pressing. “You’re so good, Royi-a.”Yiseo lowered her hand to her panties and slipped her fingers to press over them. Seeing her do that turned Saeroyi on even more. He added his hand to hers and matched her rhythm. After a while, he said, “Let me take over, Yiseo-a. I want to pleasure you.” She removed her hand and placed her hand on top of his. Saeroyi could sense the warmth and wetness emanating from her. “Up and down, up and down, pressing here,” she murmured looking directly into his eyes, “Yes, that’s it. Keep going like that.” As Saeroyi was working, she used her own hands to slip into his pants and grab his butt, feeling him tense right away. “Yiseo-a”He removed his hands from giving her pleasure and grabbed her face with both hands to give her a long deep kiss. “Every touch from you makes me want to explode. Let me give you pleasure first. ” She nodded, “Okay, take care of this then”, and grabbed his hand, this time, slipping it into her panties and placing it right on her mound. “Can you feel how wet I am? How good you make me feel?”Saeroyi felt his desire growing. He lowered his head to her belly and pampered sweet kisses all over and softly caressed her over her panties, feeling her warmth and wetness. She lifted and said “Remove them”, so he did. Tentatively, he touched her mound wanting to be closer to her. Then he looked up at her and asked : “Can I.. can I taste you?” “Please do”, she replied. He sweetly kissed her inner thighs on each side before letting his tongue lick her soft skin. Her scent was so lenticing, he craved more of her. Moving his mouth closer to her center, he pressed sweet kisses to her clitoris. Yiseo shivered, and he stopped. “Are you okay ?” “This feels so good, heaven probably looks like this. Please continue,” she pleaded. Reassured, he went back to pressing kisses all over her mound. She moaned with a sigh, adding, “Baby, would you like to try using your tongue?”. It was the first time she used that name for him, and he was so turned on. She was his, and he was hers. He let out his tongue and played with her pleasure spot, then lowered down to her pussy’s lips. He switched between licking her pussy’s lips and sucking on her little pleasure spot. She tasted so good. He felt her legs moving, shuddering. His left hand was holding her close to stabilize her while his right hand reached for her breasts and pinched her nipples gently. Yiseo moaned even louder, “Oh, Royi-a, this is perfect… don’t stop.” Her moans only turned him on more. He was lost in her arousal, feeling his member harden, possibly climaxing without her even touching him. Quickly he switched his mouth to her breasts and slowly inserted his fingers into her wet pussy, one by one. His mouth moved between both nipples, pausing to suck deeply on one. Finding a rhythm, he pushed his fingers in and out of her, as she had shown him, always pressing on her pleasure spot while sucking her nipple.She placed her hand on his and moved with him, speeding up the rhythm. “Yes, Royi-a, just like that. Just like.. that.” He released her nipple to give her a deep kiss then returned to eagerly kissing her awaiting breasts, pressing gentle kisses all over her chest. “Please Royi-a…”“What, my love?” “Put your mouth, put your mouth on my..” She didn’t have to finish the sentence as Saeroyi’s tongue was already back to her nipple, sucking fiercely. And she exploded. He kissed her deeply, his hand still inside her. “That felt so good, Royi-a” she said. She caressed his torso.“Did you study?”, she asked with a smile in her voice. He nodded, shyly looking down. “I wanted to make sure I would please you.” Yiseo kissed him on the corner of his lips.“Well, you did very well. Now, I want to see all of you, too.”
She led him to her bedroom, a place he had never been before. Without allowing him to take in the room, she instructed him to lie on the bed. Saeroyi obeyed her command. Seeing her naked body, with pink cheeks, flushed from the pleasure she experienced with him, filled him with a mix of pride and lust. She removed his jeans, running her hand between his legs before straddling him. Kissing his torso from his belly to his neck, she took her time, savoring the soft skin. Her hands were busy too, massaging his scalp. When she reached his face, she locked eyes with him and playfully teased his lips with her tongue. He caught it with his own lips and they kissed passionately. He could feel her warmth against his. Yiseo then lowered her hand and gently caressed him over his underwear causing Saeroyi to shiver. How could she make him feel so powerless with just a simple touch.“Does it feel good? Don't worry, baby. You haven't seen the beginning of how good it can be. Get ready.” She lowered her head and approached her mouth to press kisses over his underwear. “Hmm, you’re so warm, Royi-a. You smell so good.” She played with the elastics of his underwear. “Should I remove it or keep it.. What do you think?” Saeroyi wanted to answer that she could do anything she wanted, with him, that he was at her mercy. But his breath was shallow and he couldn’t find the words. So he just nodded. “I’ll remove it I think.”She slowly lowered his underwear and wrapped her hand around his member. “Are you already this hard because of me?” He gulped and whispered, “I want you so much Yiseo-a.” Looking directly into his eyes, she started moving her hand up and down on his cock. Saeroyi took a deep breath. He was going to lose it. How was he not prepared for how good it felt? He had explored his sexuality on his own, but with Yiseo touching him, it felt a hundred times better. After a while, she moved down and looked up at him with daring eyes, asking : “Would you like me to lick you, Royi-a ?”He gulped. “I really want to taste you”, she added, “To run my tongue over your soft skin here. Would you like that ?” “Yes. Yes, you can.. do that.” “Alright then.”Yiseo started by kissing the tip of his cock, gently at first, followed by taking his entire member into her mouth. He felt her tongue tickling his skin and moving around different parts. She then licked up and down his cock causing Saeroyi to close his eyes. The sensation was new, and it was incredibly pleasurable to feel her mouth around him. His pleasure began to build as he grabbed her hair and held her head close, feeling himself losing control as he was about to climax. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at him. “Do you enjoy it ?”, she asked. “Yes. I enjoy it so much, Yiseo-a.”Satisfied, she gave him a few more licks before saying, “Me too. You taste so good Royi-a”. Her mouth left his cock, and she rose up to give him a deep kiss. Straddling him she settled on his lap and pressed her center against his member. She started moving in a circle, applying pressure with her wet pussy against his hard cock. She caressed his ears, cupped his face and gave him a wet kiss.“Royi-a”, she murmured against his lips, “I want to have you inside me”His eyes met hers, she was biting her lips again and he had never seen that gesture in her so sexy. Mesmerized by her, he couldn’t even speak and simply nodded, lowering his hand to her mound to enter her again with his fingers. She was still very wet. “Do you see what you do to me ?” Yiseo asked as she palmed his cock with care with both hands. “Oh,” moaned Saeroyi “Yiseo-a, I..” She engulfed the rest of his sentence with her tongue dancing in his mouth, then left it with a pop. “Royi-a, baby, I need you. I need you inside me,” she pleaded. “Yiseo-a, I want you so much.”, he said in a trembling voice, “But I don’t know if I can control myself. I don’t want to hurt you. Promise me you’ll stop me if it gets to be too much.” Yiseo smiled softly at him and nodded. “Don’t worry, just trust me. You won’t harm me.” He took his hard cock in hand and positioned himself in front of her. She slowly descended on him, welcoming him inside her. Saeroyi was enveloped in a cloud of pleasure. He hadn’t expected the overwhelming sensation that washed over him as soon as he entered her. Yiseo was now looking at him with a loving smile, “How does it feel, Royi-a? “. “So good, I love you so much”, he replied, pressing a kiss on her lips, and pulling her closer to him with his hands on her back. In this position, she was slightly higher than him and Saeroyi gazed up at her with lustful eyes. Slowly, Yiseo began to move, up and down, in a circular motion. She closed her eyes and Saeroyi watched as her breasts bounced, her cheeks turned pink and sweat formed on her skin. He was mesmerized, feeling his heart race and his body respond to her touch. His hips started to move involuntarily. He knew he was close to climaxing but he wanted to hold back. If she kept moving like that, he wouldn’t be able to control himself. Summoning all the self control he had left, Saeroyi steadied her with his hands. “What is it, Royi-a?” Yiseo asked.“I.. I’m going to come right now if you don’t stop”. She smiled and gave him a kiss, “That’s okay, baby.“Ani. I want you to be pleased as well”. She held his face with both hands. “I am. You give me so much pleasure Royi-a. Just enjoy this for yourself today.” She started moving again, faster and more fiercely, and added : “But, if you want to help me come again, use your mouth.”Saeroyi felt his hips thrusting forward. Her breast hit him and he grabbed her nipple with his mouth. He vaguely heard her moan and felt her hand brushing against his cock, pressing against her clitoris. He sucked her nipple and grabbed her butt to help her move. “Oh, oh Royi-a.” She had her eyes closed now and he was mesmerized by her. He was surrounded by her smell, her soft and sweaty skin, and her voicing her pleasure with moans and sighs. Her hand brushed against his cock again where their centers were joined and as he experienced a wave of pleasure he moaned “Yiseo-a, Yiseo-a I’m..” Suddenly, he felt her legs squeeze him and she softened in his arms. Feeling him still hard, Yiseo quickly resumed her rhythm on his cock, licked his ear and murmured : “Royi-a, it feels so good to have you inside. You don’t have to be in control, just let yourself go, release.” She pressed kisses to his neck, grabbed a part of soft skin to nibble between her lips and put her hands on his lower back, tracing his groin. An ultimate wave of pleasure came over him and he ejaculated inside her. Surrounded by the early morning light, Saeroyi was lying on Yiseo’s bed, his eyes looking up at the ceiling. After their love making, they had curled up together to sleep. He couldn’t believe they had done it. They had made love. He had sometimes wondered what it would be like to experience that with her, to be inside her. Now that he knew, he regretted waiting so long. “A penny for your thoughts ?” His brown-haired girl had awakened and was now looking at him with her big round eyes and a smile on her face. She was so cute. Last night, she had decided she was going to wear his shirt to bed and he was just going to stay bare. “What if I am cold?” he jokingly tried to argue. “Then I’ll just have to warm you again,” she said. “I think I’m good at that, don’t you?” And he couldn’t argue with that. He opened his arms to embrace her and she cuddled against him. “I was just thinking about you.” “I like it when you think of me,” she replied. He chuckled, pinching her nose. “I know you do”. Then she sat down and played with his hand, asking in a small voice. “Last night, did you enjoy it?”There it was. He could hear it. The insecurity in her voice. How come he never really noticed it before. She was just so confident most of the time. He raised himself higher on the pillow and took her hands. “Yiseo-a,” he said softly. She raised her eyes and looked at him, waiting. “I love you so much. I didn’t think it was possible to love you more, but it is. What we shared last night was beyond anything I could have imagined.”“So, you think I am sexy ?” she asked with a playful smile. “The sexiest girl that ever lived,” he replied. Amused, she bit her lips. “I am, aren’t I?”He chuckled. “Yiseo-a, there isn’t anyone like you.”“Do you want to do it again?” Oh, his girl. He grabbed her head firmly and traced her lips with his tongue. As it entered her mouth, Yiseo no longer wondered.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Saeroyi rolled over so he was on top of her, supporting himself with his hands. Yiseo reached for him, circling her arms around his neck as he lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her. This kiss was different from any they had shared the night before. It was sweet, slow and languorous. They were taking their time with no sense of urgency. He nibbled her lower lip, then moved down to her neck, breathing in her scent, and wetting her collarbone with his tongue. Yiseo rolled him to the side and wrapped her legs around him to hold him close. His hands slid under her shirt tickling her warm skin. He caressed her shoulders, her spine and reached her buttocks. He grabbed her cheeks and pressed them towards him.Yiseo was kissing a spot on his neck. She lowered a hand to his cock and felt the satisfaction of discovering that it was already hard.“Royi-a, do you want me that much already?” she murmured in his ear. He turned his head to capture her lips and roll her onto her back again.“I love you, Yiseo-a.”Yiseo kissed him back while circling his cock and jerking him. Saeroyi felt his head in the clouds, knowing he wasn't going to last this time either. Suddenly he felt her center pressing against the tip of his cock.“Yiseo-a”“I am ready for you, if you are, baby”“But..”He caressed her mound and felt that she was already wet. Looking at her in his shirt, he saw her delicious smile. A sense of pride and lust came over him as he slowly entered her, leaning forward to capture her mouth with his. She widened her legs to give him more space and then closed them around him.This position felt new and completely different from last time. Here, he was the one doing the work, supporting himself with his arms and starting to move his member up and down her center. She helped him by wrapping her knees around his butt, bringing their centers closer.One of her hands caressed his nipples, before her tongue took over. Saeroyi felt a warm and tickling sensation as her lips went to his neck and he began moving faster. Yiseo felt a wave of pleasure coming over her. He was hitting the right spot. She tightened her hold around his back with her legs and brought one hand into her shirt to caress her nipples and another to her center.Saeroyi was observing her, “You look so beautiful, so sexy, Yiseo-a” he murmured, breathless. He reached a hand to caress her cheek but Yiseo caught one of his fingers in her mouth and sucked on it, looking at him daringly. He was hypnotized. She released it with a pop, and circled his neck with her arms, bringing his face to hers for a deep wet kiss. They lingered there a moment, tongues dancing in each other's mouths. He caressed her cheek and looking right into her eyes, said, “Mani Saranghada, Yiseo-a”. “Nado” she responded. His hand then went down to tease her clitoris and she moaned. She pressed her hand over his and started moving her hips under him. The change in movement surprised him and he couldn’t refrain his own hips, accelerating the rhythm, bouncing in and out of her. She grabbed his butt with both her hands and squeezed it, accentuating the pressure against her center. Her moans got louder, her eyes closed, and ultimate pleasure washed over her. Saeroyi felt like he couldn’t breathe, the pleasure was so intense, he felt like he was going to climax at any moment. “Yiseo-a..” he exclaimed as he exploded, his body falling down on hers from exhaustion.When he awoke from the wave of pleasure that had come over him, Yiseo was gently tapping on his back.“Royi-a ? I love you but could you move aside a bit. Your handsome body is heavy.”“Oh, mianhae,” he rolled onto his backYiseo moved with satisfaction to rest her head on his shoulder and her leg over his torso.Saeroyi wrapped his arms around her, kissed her hair, closed his eyes, and fell quietly asleep.When he woke up again, the bed was empty.“Yiseo-a ?”He put on his pants and underwear and went to the kitchen but found no one there.Suddenly he heard the main door open. Yiseo arrived, still only dressed in his shirt, holding coffee and pastries in her hands.“Oh, you’re awake, good. I’ve ordered breakfast,” she said as she put everything on the table. She then raised herself on her toes to give him a peck. He held her waist, wanting to linger and kiss her longer.She circled her arms around his neck. “I like it when my man walks half naked in my living room. It’s sexy.”Saeroyi smiled shyly and hid his face against her cheek.“Come on, let's eat.”Sitting at the table on Yiseo’s balcony, they observed the commotion in the street.“Tomorrow, we’ll be in Jeju,” noted Yiseo, drinking a sip of coffee, “it will be nice to spend some time in nature, just the two of us.”“I don’t think I’ve travelled for leisure in the last twenty years. It will feel strange to leave work behind,” observed Saeroyi, “But I’m glad I’m doing it with you,” he added, smiling at her.‘You know, the delivery woman noticed my ring,” Yiseo said.Saeroyi looked at her hand still wearing the ring he had given her the night before. “She asked me when I was getting married. Of course, I said, "as soon as I can””He smiled.“She laughed and said not to rush, that she had been married for forty years and the time before the wedding is actually the most fun. Seeing how things went for us, I can't disagree with that. But I think marriage will be fun for us as well.”Saeroyi took her hand and smiled brightly at her, holding it tight. So much had happened in the last few hours. He still couldn't believe it. She had agreed to marry him. They had made love. Twice. And he desired her so much he already wanted a third time.“Baby, did you book us a double room in Jeju?” asked Yiseo, as if she were reading his thoughts.He nodded.“I booked a room with two double beds. I wasn't sure if we were going to... I didn’t want to pressure you,” he replied.Yiseo smirked. “I think I’m the one who put a bit of pressure on you.She stood and went to sit on his lap. “You don’t regret it, right?”“Ani.” replied Saeroyi, wrapping his arms around her, “If anything, I wish we had done it earlier. Had I known what it feels like to be with you, I would never have waited that long.” He was talking about them making love, but Yiseo could sense he also meant so much more, their whole relationship, their love story. She approached his lips to kiss him, but Saeroyi, fearing he would easily get lost in her again if he let her go further, quickly gave her a peck and stood them both up.“Daepyonim,” pouted Yiseo, crossing her arms.“Later, I promise. Right now, I need to go to the office quickly to finish some tasks before we leave. You should stay here and rest.”“Ani. I want to go with you.”“Yiseo-a”“I won't work, I promise, I just,” she looked at him and pleaded, “I want to show my ring.”Saeroyi was speechless. How cute she could be.She added : “I want everyone to know. I don’t really care if the media reveals it to the whole world, but I’m kind of guessing we should tell the IC crew ourselves, Hyun Yi is the only one who knows, and these things have a way of getting out quickly.”“You’re right, we should tell them soon.”“We can tell my mum right away. I called her this morning and she's coming here.”“What? When?”Yiseo looked at the time on her phone, “in about 10 minutes”.“Yiseo-a !” Saeroyi looked at her panicking.“What ? There’s nothing to worry about. She loves you and she gave you her blessing. We’re just making it official.”“Yiseo-a. We are not dressed, the place is a mess, and it smells like …”“Like we had sex. Yes, it does, because we did. I don't see why this matters. My mum knows I’m not a conservative woman. I’ve always done things my own way.”Saeroyi sighed. He couldn’t argue with that, everything was true. He knew better than to try and persuade her otherwise. Since time was of the essence, he needed to get moving now. He showered, got dressed, brushed his teeth with a brush given by Yiseo, tidied up the living room in no time and continued washing the dishes from the night before. Yiseo was still on the balcony observing him with amused eyes and getting updated on the news of the world on her phone. Was this what life was going to be like ? There was no way she would ever get bored of this man. She liked that.Soon after Saeroyi finished washing the last plate, Yiseo joined him in the kitchen and gave him a hug. “Thank you. Hmm, my soap smells good on you, Royi-a.”He petted her hair. He heard the doorbell ring and directly pushed her towards the bedroom.“What?” said Yiseo“Get dressed, please.”“Daepyonim. This is my house.”“I just want your mum to have a good impression of us. Please. Do it for me.”“Hmm,” Yiseo said as if she was thinking about it. “Okay, if it’s for you then, I’ll do it.”As she ran happily towards her bedroom, Saeroyi shook his head in disbelief. What would he do with her ? And then went to open the door.“Oh, hello, dear son in law.”Jo Jeong Min appeared, looking as put together and confident as always. Saeroyi had seen her a couple of times since he met her at the hospital six months ago, and he was still a little bit scared of her. When he had gone to see her to ask for her blessing just the day before, she was on a coffee break from work. She laughed and said, “My dear boy, I don’t think I have any say in this matter. My daughter is just going to do as she pleases. But I have to say, out of all the options she could have, I am glad she chose such an honest, hard-working man - and successful. You make her happy - and god knows, that’s no easy task. So if that’s what you are looking for, yes. I’ll give you my blessing.” Then she left for an urgent meeting.Yiseo joined them in the living room where they were sitting facing each other. Saeroyi had offered his mother-in-law some drinks and they were discussing the current projects at IC.“Daughter of mine, finally, you are blessing us with your presence!”“Eomma,” Yiseo replied.She sat next to Saeroyi and took his hand.“Eomma, we have some news, I'm sure you’ve already guessed, as Daepyonim already disclosed his intentions to you,” she said, raising her left hand.Jo Jeong Min smiled.“You finally have everything you dreamed of my dear daughter. I am happy for you, for both of you. May you have a long journey together - longer than what your dad and I shared.”“Now” she added, “let me have a look at this ring”.Saeroyi received a call and left them chatting. When he came back, he stood in the doorway watching them speak animatedly. They were so close together, from where he was, he could see the resemblance, in their expressions, gestures, and even in the way they talked. Yiseo noticed him and called out, “Daepyonim, what are you doing so far over there? Come here,” she ordered. And so he did.Jo Jeong Min left and they also departed to join IC. As Saeroyi was driving, Yiseo turned to him and asked “Royi-a, when do you think we should get married?”Saeroyi ran a hand through his hair. He hadn't thought that far ahead. Just being married was fine with him. The actual wedding ceremony and everything else wasn't something that had crossed his mind. “Hmm, whenever you want. Whatever you want works for me.” Yiseo gave him a strange look.He took her hand as he added, “I want you to have the dream wedding you want. What matters to me is that we are married. I want to be legally joined to you for life. The rest doesn't matter”Yiseo smiled at that and petted his hand, “That's what I want too. Living my life with you. The rest is not that important.”After a while she added “Still, as we are getting married, we should make the most of it. I can plan it.”Saeroyi brought her hand to his lips to kiss it. “I trust you Yiseo-a.”When they arrived at IC, it was already the middle of the day. Saeroyi parked the car and they entered the hall with purpose.The hall was quite empty, with many employees being on their lunch breaks. The secretary greeted them saying :“Oh, Mister Park, Ms Jo, hello. Choi Paeu is here. He insists he needs to see you Ms Jo.”Yiseo sighed. She had forgotten about his inconvenient visit to IC yesterday.What did this guy want ?As she looked up, she saw a young man coming towards them.“Well well Yiseo-a. Finally we meet again. You are not easy to find.”Yiseo smirked, replying, “Don’t you have Instagram? Everyone knows where I work.”“Of course. But I wanted to see you in person. How have you been?”“I’ve been really well. You said it was urgent. What is it?”“Always so feisty you were. It’s quite confidential. Who is this man?“Park Saeroyi,” said Saeroyi with a little bow, looking tense and suspicious.“He’s IC’s CEO and my partner. Daepyonim, this Choi Paeu. ” added Yiseo.“Well, very nice to meet you Mr Park. Yiseo, should we go for a coffee ? We can catch up at the same time, it’s been so long,” said Choi Paeu.“I don't think so. I am very busy today and we’re leaving tonight, so I won't have time.”“I see. Well I just wanted to congratulate you about the Oppotown deal. And to say I'm so happy we’ll be working together.“What?”Choi Paeu sat in front of Jo Yiseo and Park Saeroi at the Danbam café next to IC’s office, feeling a bit annoyed. He wanted to see her alone but Yiseo had insisted Saeroyi come with them. So they ordered some drinks and were now seated.“What do you mean, we’ll be working together?” said Yiseo, breaking the silence.“Well, I’ve just bought shares in Oppotown, and I plan on leading this project. When I heard it was IC, I saw it as an opportunity. It’s been, what, ten years?”“Not enough apparently,” murmured Yiseo under her breath, “What is the purpose of your visit? Is there an issue with the deal?”“No, all is working well with the deal. You are kind of unreachable so I had to use this as an excuse. Truth is, I’m a bit embarrassed to say it in front of your boss, but Yiseo, I’ve missed y..”“I am not only her boss,” Saeroyi interrupted, “we are partners and we’re getting married.”Yiseo smiled and rested her head on Saeroyi’s shoulder giving a smirk to Choi Paeu.“So, what else did you want to talk about?”Saeroyi watched Choi Paeu leave with a satisfied smile on his face. He felt a hand take his and turned.“Well, this is done,” said Yiseo. “Should we go and find the IC crew?”Saeroyi nodded and with Yiseo holding his arm, they made their way back to the offices.They found Hyun Yi and Seung Kwon chatting in Yiseo’s office.“Well, I see that when I am not there, the space is still occupied.”“Yiseo-a ! How are you feeling?” exclaimed Seung Kwon, as Hyun Yi was coming towards her to give her a hug.“All better. It was just a little scare, that’s all, nothing to worry about. How have things been here?”“All good too,” answered Hyun Yi, “but weren’t you supposed to take some days off?”“She was indeed,” replied Saeroyi, satisfied that someone else had noticed.“I am not here to work,” reassured Yiseo, “I just wanted to say hi and also…” she bit her lip with excitement, looking at Saeroyi, and showed her ring.“We are getting married” he declared with a proud voice, smiling at her.Seung Kwon, with a big smile, gave a push on Saeroyi’s shoulder. “Congratulations Hyung !”“I am so happy for both of you,” said Hyun Yi, “It was about time.”“What are you saying?,” asked Seung Kwon, confused, “They’ve only been dating for six months!”“Arr, they were in love for much longer, that counts too!”Saeroyi had a happy smile on his face and Yiseo was laughing as they watched them.“If you say so..” replied Seung Kwon, not convinced. “Anyway, such news calls for a celebration ! Drinks tonight ?”“Early drinks then” said Saeroyi, “we have a plane to catch tonight.”“We are going to Jeju Island on a couples trip,” added Yiseo.“That’s great ! How about we go for drinks now?” said Hyun Yi, “It’s almost happy hour.”“Let’s do this !” exclaimed Seung Kwon, jumping, “I’ll call Toni so he can join”.As they walked towards the exit, Saeroyi stayed behind to observe them. Hyun Yi and Yiseo were engaged in a lively conversation while Seung Kwon was on the phone with Toni.“Daepyonim!” called Yiseo, “Are you coming?”“Ne”He quickly ran to join them, wrapping his arm around Yiseo’s shoulders.Life was good.
