Chapter 7 - Together With Family (19)

“Um, Do Ook, you know…” Sun Ha chased after her husband, having fallen behind him with his longer strides, and hurriedly stopped him in his tracks.

“Let me just wash a bit first.” Stepping inside of the bedroom, Do Ook quickly took off his necktie and shirt. Seeing him quickly strip off his top under the room’s clear lighting made Sun Ha hastily look down and away from his body.

“Just how long are you going to be like that? It’s been three years already, you should be used to it by now.” Do Ook’s tone of voice changed, as if he was suppressing something. He frowned deeply and turned to glare at her for a moment. His gaze was so fiery it felt as if it would burn up her whole body, and he swiftly looked away, heaving a sigh. His hands became hastier in taking off his belt.

Sun Ha felt her shoulders tremble from his angry reaction. He must have gotten annoyed and thought that she was being coy again or something. She’d heard that most men loved women that were active and sensual in bed, perhaps he had the same preference.

But what was she to do when she still felt embarrassed every time she saw his body?

As Sun Ha stood there unsure what to say, Do Ook left to go to the bedroom’s en suite bathroom. He moved, clearly irritated, without giving her a chance to catch up to him. Even though he’d been as relaxed as usual when he first came in the door, he started becoming more and more hurried, as if he was being chased by someone, which was all the more curious to her.

The door closed shut, followed by the sounds of running water.

Sun Ha checked the time. It was almost eleven. He had to be quite irritated from having to spend all day outside the house. On top of that, he’d had to deal with rain on the way home. It would probably be better for her to ask him to have the birthday cake together after he was done with his shower.

Not long after, Do Ook stepped out from the bathroom, thick steam escaping behind him.

Sun Ha had been sitting on the foot of the bed and was surprised to see him come out from the bathroom with only a single towel wrapped around him. She was surprised once more when he quickly came over to her to press his lips against hers before she even had the chance to decline him.

“Do Ook, p-please wait a minute…”

Do Ook didn’t even give her a chance. He swallowed her lips with a fiery passion. His hand wrapped firmly around her chin, pulling open her mouth so his tongue could slip in right away. He tilted his face slightly to the side to better slide his tongue deep inside her mouth.

“Mph,” Sun Ha managed to get out as his tongue harshly pushed itself inside of her mouth, making her breathing uneven. Her eyes naturally began to close, but she forced them open and pushed him away for a moment. “Wait… I have something to say…”

“Is it something more important than what we’re doing right now?” Do Ook asked with an annoyed expression.

He laid Sun Ha on the bed before getting on top of her and pulling her nightdress off. It was as if he seriously didn’t like her usual insistence in pushing away his advances. “To me, sex is important enough for me to give up on my sleep.”

“…”

“If it isn’t something particularly important, tell me after we do it.”

Do Ook bent closer, sensually licking her earlobe, and didn’t notice Sun Ha’s eyes harden. Though her body started to instinctively become aroused from having her ear sucked and bitten, she sank her teeth into her lower lip, her expression becoming lewd.

She just couldn’t understand how sex could be more important to him than her birthday. If she were to stop this right now and ask him to tell her “happy birthday,” he might actually glare at her in annoyance instead.

Do Ook was treating her more roughly than usual today. Though his way of lovemaking wasn’t very gentle, he would usually enjoy foreplay as much as penetration. He would make sure that she would be aroused to the point of moaning loudly. Today, however, he didn’t focus on caressing her subtly at all.

She felt his body moving with impatience, focused on satisfying his own lust, not caring about intimacy at all. It was enough to make the woman crushed under him feel suffocated in misery.

As soon as she became wet enough, he pushed his hardened rod inside of her right away. It was as if there would be serious trouble if he didn’t get inside of her as soon as possible. Feeling him roughly enter her, Sun Ha calmly closed her tear-filled eyes.

It was some time before Do Ook let Sun Ha free from his grasp. Midnight had passed by long ago, and the hands of the clock on the wall were ticking away deep into the night

She was lying on her side on the bed, staring at the orange light coming from the lamp on the nightstand, when she felt movement from the other side of the bed. She could feel Do Ook coming closer, and he wrapped his powerful arms around her hips. Both of their naked bodies still radiated heat from the climax they’d reached moments ago.

“Didn’t you say you needed to tell me something?”

The only time the two would enjoy normal skinship was during times like this after they’d finished embracing each other deeply.

When their relationship first began, Do Ook would immediately get up to have a shower to clean up. Then one day, Do Ook held her “just because” rather than just to have sex, and Sun Ha felt as if her heart would explode from how rapidly it was beating.

She didn’t sleep a wink that night. What could it mean to cuddle with her like that? Perhaps he had finally fallen for her as well? Her mind raced with thoughts like that, chasing away any fatigue.

But she soon realized the truth once she saw how his gaze and actions stayed the same as if that hug didn’t mean anything at all. He would never come to her directly unless it was to have sex with her. Aside from what they did in bed, they never had a quick kiss or even held hands outside of the bedroom.

The reason why he had hugged her as if they were a loving couple was probably that they had both shared the deepest and most intimate parts of their body already. He felt comfortable around her, so he hugged her without any particular thought. With no deeper meaning at all.

“…It’s nothing.”

“I’m asking what was that ‘nothing’ you’re talking about.”
