Angel Smile 98 Scene 98

It was just the other day that he had promised Jin Goo and In Guk that he was not going to do anything to Yeo Ri, and yet, here he was, barely controlling his sanity.

Remembering the promise, he stilled.

With difficulty, he looked away from the girl.

"We can't," he forced himself to say. "I won't do this to you."

He sat up, sighing. His heart felt as if it was being torn apart, but he forced himself to stop. He had to stop himself no matter what; it was a line he was unwilling to cross.

Yeo Ri, noticing his reluctance, slowly sat up as well. She stared mutedly at him, pondering on whether she should tell him about her secret. Perhaps, it might lessen his guilt.

"Oppa," she tugged his s.h.i.+rt, softly calling him. "Do you want to know a secret?"

Yeo Ri leaned in close to Hyuk's ear, softly whispering, "I... we—we aren't real siblings."

"...What?" Hyuk froze again. "W-what are you talking about, Yeo Ri-ah?"

Yeo Ri backed away, smiling wryly. "That man, he told me himself. He said that I'm just a b.a.s.t.a.r.d and that I should be grateful that he's taken care of me up until now," she explained. It was not the complete truth, but that man really did tell her that a long time ago. "Apparently, mom cheated on him," she added.

Hyuk sat still for a long time, stunned. He had vague memories of his childhood, but he did seem to recollect that his stepmother had been rather unhappy in her marriage, so it was not entirely impossible for her to have committed infidelity.

"So, Oppa, it's fine," she smiled up at him. "There's nothing wrong with us."

"...There's... nothing wrong with us," Hyuk repeated slowly. Although he had many questions in his mind, he did not want to pressure Yeo Ri. He also wanted to know what else that b*stard had said to Yeo Ri. That being said, he did not completely believe Yeo Ri's words; he felt that they were simply too good to be true.

"Mhm," Yeo Ri nodded. She touched his cheeks, bringing their face together. For the first time since their secret relations.h.i.+p started, she made the first move and kissed him.

Hyuk was easily distracted by her kiss. After the initial shock wore off, he responded to her kiss fiercely.

Once again, Yeo Ri found herself pushed down on the bed.

"Wait, Oppa," she gasped and panted.

Hyuk did as she asked. He watched her take off her dress with heavy breathing.

Soon, all Yeo Ri was wearing was her underwear. She covered her bare chest shyly. It was the first time she properly showed her naked body to Hyuk. She looked away, embarra.s.sed.

Hyuk hesitantly touched her, starting from her arms. Gently and slowly, he allowed his hands to roam her body.

Yeo Ri s.h.i.+vered from his touch, but did not tell him to stop.

"Oppa, why am I the only one taking off my clothes?" She asked with slight resentment. Yeo Ri glared at Hyuk, her eyes red and gla.s.sy.

Without thinking, he hastily pulled off his top, throwing it away, and undid his pants. Then, he kissed her again and again until her lips became swollen. After running out of breath, he finally released her.

Yeo Ri panted heavily, her arms lying weakly next to her. After such an intense kiss, she was left feeling as if all the strength in her body had dissipated.

With her arms out of the way, Hyuk finally had the full, uncensored view of her chest. Seeing the two small hills, he could barely stop himself from fondling them. He stroked them, feeling the ecstasy rising inside him.

"Oppa...!" Yeo Ri breathlessly called out.

Her voice snapped him out of his euphoria.

His eyes widened at his own actions. What the h.e.l.l was he thinking of doing? What the h.e.l.l was he actually doing? He cursed himself as he speedily extracted his hands.

He gazed at Yeo Ri's tear-filled eyes with guilt. "I-I'm sorry, Yeo Ri-ah."

He got up urgently, running to the bathroom.

All that stimulation had caused a tent to rise in his pants, and it was growing bigger as the seconds pa.s.sed. He needed to take care of it quickly.

Yeo Ri watched him with a flabbergasted look. But at the same time, she was relieved that they didn't end up doing it. She was worried that she might also hate doing it with Hyuk.

Hyuk spent a long time in the bathroom.

Yeo Ri could hear his faint grunts, and she could only imagine how he was taking care of his... thing.

A blush crept up on her cheeks as her mind wandered. She dived into the blankets, dragging it all the way to her nose, covering half her face. Now, she was red all the way down to her neck.

After he finished his business, Hyuk flushed the toilet and finally came out, looking extremely drained.

Yeo Ri's gaze involuntarily drifted to his crotch, but she quickly looked away, another blush spreading.

Hyuk collapsed next to her, sighing heavily.

"Oppa, are you okay?" She hesitantly asked him. She had been the one to push him, and the guilt was finally kicking in.

"I'm fine," he replied.

"Oppa, I'm sorry," Yeo Ri sniffed.

Hyuk turned to his side, looking at her tenderly. "No, I'm the one who should be sorry." He reached out to stroke Yeo Ri's head, "I'm sorry, Yeo Ri-ah. Oppa is the one who's bad."

Yeo Ri raised the blankets to invite him in as a peace offering.

Hyuk cracked an amused smile, but did not refuse. He scooted into her blanket.

The two stared at each other quietly.

Hyuk had a soft smile on his face. The smile made his expression much, much gentler; he looked more innocent and boyish. His eyes curved into crescents as his smile deepened.

His heart felt so full just by looking at her. See, even if he didn't cross that line, everything would be fine, he thought. He was satisfied with where they were.

"Yeo Ri-ah," he spoke as he stroked her cheek with his thumb lovingly, "Oppa will take you to the beach someday. I promise."

A smile bloomed on her face. "Mm!"

Just as the two basked in the sweet atmosphere, the sound of the door unlocking could be heard.
