That voice was simply unbelievable.
Si-hyun likes me too?
The moment I heard those words, the anxiety in my heart vanished, and happiness seemed to spread through my entire body.
Then tears started falling.
Though I'd worried about possible rejection, those fears were gone now.
All the unease and concern had disappeared.
I was so happy.
I felt like all the strength drained from my body.
"Are you okay!?"
"Uh, yes, sorry, sorry."
Tears streamed down my face.
"Why are you crying?"
"But... I thought you would reject me."
"Didn't I just say? I like you too?"
Hearing this made me cry even harder.
I felt joyful, relieved, and happy.
Si-hyun picked me up and moved me, putting me directly into the car.
The brief moment in Si-hyun's embrace felt incredibly wonderful.
"Si-yeon, please stop crying."
"S-sorry."
It took twenty minutes before I could finally stop crying.
This should have been a happy moment, but my crying made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Yet with all these emotions surging through me, I couldn't stay calm.
I discreetly wiped my tears and checked my face in the mirror.
The reflection showed my makeup was ruined, my eyes red and swollen, completely unpresentable.
What a disastrous sight.
"D-don't look."
I didn't want Si-hyun to see this pathetic face.
I turned away and quickly pulled out makeup from my purse to fix my appearance.
"Si-yeon? It's fine. Can you look at me?"
"Ah, no! Wait!"
I quickly worked on my makeup using the hand mirror. The worst was the eyeshadow.
Tears had smeared it, creating streaks down my cheeks in a terrible mess.
It might have been better to remove everything, but there wasn't time.
Just fixing the damage was the best I could manage.
After about five minutes of repairs, I finally dared to look at Si-hyun's face.
"S-sorry for the delay."
Then Si-hyun gently touched my cheek.
"You're beautiful enough as you are. Don't worry."
Wow, saying such sweet things... it's bad for my heart.
It felt wonderful but was dangerous in another way.
His gentle words filled me with contentment.
Si-hyun quietly started driving.
"Huh? Where are we going, Si-hyun?"
"Time to go home."
Wh-what?
Home? Didn't we just confess our feelings?
Shouldn't we be heading to a motel or something to get intimate?
"W-we're going home?"
"Yes."
I felt somewhat disappointed. What should I do?
Though this was also Si-hyun's considerate nature showing care for me, it seemed like such a waste to just go home.
Should I try to seduce him?
"Um, aren't we going somewhere else?"
"Okay."
Finding the right words was so difficult.
What to do? Just being together made me happy, but I really wanted to take things further.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
I glanced sideways at Si-hyun, who didn't seem to have that intention.
What to do...
We ended up at a cafe near home.
This wasn't exactly what I had in mind...
Still, being with Si-hyun was what mattered most.
Si-hyun ordered coffee while I got coffee and a slice of cake.
"Didn't you just eat?"
Huh? Well...
"Dessert goes in a separate stomach."
Si-hyun's expression was quite soft.
Where had the usually expressionless Si-hyun gone? When did he become this man with such varied expressions?
Of course, I liked this version of Si-hyun too.
"Actually, um."
"What is it?"
"S-s-so starting t-t-today, we're d-d-dating?"
I was stammering too much.
Even though we'd confirmed our feelings, I still wanted to hear a clear answer.
Si-hyun chuckled softly at my question.
"That's right. So Si-yeon, let's start going to dungeons together from now on. I don't want to see my girlfriend doing solo dungeon runs."
Ah, Si-hyun's gentle words made my heart race.
And I would absolutely obey what Si-hyun said.
"Uh, yeah!"
I had planned to wait until I reached C-Class before dating... but seeing how worried Si-hyun looked about me, I couldn't bring myself to say it.
Si-hyun quietly took my hand and gently rubbed the back of it.
"Si-yeon."
"Yeah."
"Did you dress up specially for me today?"
Why was he asking this so suddenly?
Of course I had dressed up to make a good impression on Si-hyun.
"Yeah."
"You look really beautiful today. Sorry I couldn't say it earlier."
My face burned at Si-hyun's words.
Though it was the compliment I wanted to hear, it felt twice as powerful now that our feelings were mutual.
Then the vibration ding! sounded.
"I'll get it."
While Si-hyun went to pick up our order, I pinched my cheeks.
So hot. My cheeks were burning. Was it embarrassment? Or happiness? I didn't know, but my whole body felt feverish.
Dangerous. Si-hyun was already gentle and considerate, but combined with that soft expression, the effect was devastating.
Thinking that Si-hyun acted this way because he liked me made me happy, but I was about to reach my limit.
"Here."
Before I knew it, Si-hyun had returned with coffee and cake.
"Thanks."
I avoided Si-hyun's gaze while eating the cake.
Ah, eating sweet cake would probably make me gain weight.
"Si-yeon, what are you doing tomorrow?"
Huh? Tomorrow?
I had something I wanted to do today, but tomorrow was uncertain.
"Hmm...?"
Forget tomorrow, what about today! Didn't we have something to do today!
Why didn't Si-hyun think in that direction?
"You should probably rest since you got hurt, right?"
"Ah?"
Though I had gotten injured yesterday, it was nothing serious...
How exactly should I tempt him?
Should I just say it outright?
No, that would make me seem like a pervert, right?
"Let's not think about expedition matters for a few days and just rest properly."
I was happy that Si-hyun cared about me, but why did it feel so frustrating?
That's not it! Don't couples have things they need to do!
In the end, I couldn't say anything.
We passed time talking about unimportant topics, then left the cafe and returned home.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of what I had been hoping for happening.
When we got out of the car, Si-hyun came over to me.
"Si-yeon, I'm sorry I couldn't confess first."
"It's fine, I confessed suddenly too."
Si-hyun moved close to me.
He wore a determined expression on his face.
"I love you, Si-yeon."
After saying this, Si-hyun gently kissed my forehead.
"Ah... this is really awkward. B-because it's my first time..."
I couldn't say anything.
Why? Because my mind had gone completely blank, I couldn't grasp the situation at all, feeling only confused and dazed.
"Hueh..."
"Alright, go inside now."
"Y-yeah."
"I'll contact you."
Still not fully recovered, I stood there blankly until Si-hyun gave me a gentle push, and I walked through the gate like that.
As the gate closed and Si-hyun's figure disappeared, I finally began to understand what had just happened.
"Ugh..."
I immediately crouched down, touching my burning cheeks.
So sudden.
Too bad it wasn’t my lips… What a real shame.
Gently touching the spot on my forehead where Si-hyun’s lips had been, the sensation seemed to come alive again.
“Hehe…”
I’m so happy.
From now on, can Si-hyun and I do all sorts of things together every day?
Just imagining it makes me feel joyful and happy.
And I really want to get down to business soon.
I sat there lost in fantasy for a long time, until the front door opened.
“Oi! Stop spacing out there and come in! What are you doing?”
It was Oppa.
“Ahem.”
Snapping out of my delusion, I checked the situation.
Peeking outside, it seemed Si-hyun had already left.
I checked the time, half an hour had passed since we got out of the car.
Was I out here too long?
“Did you see?”
“See what?”
“N-nothing!”
When did Mom, Dad, and Oppa get back?
I greeted them saying I was home and went to my room.
“Hehe…”
Just remembering what happened today makes me happy.
I was worried Si-hyun wouldn’t accept someone as half-baked as me.
But Si-hyun said he likes me… no, loves me? Could anything be happier than that?
I immediately grabbed my phone and texted Si-hyun.
=Did you get home safe?
I waited over five minutes for a reply.
I started to get anxious.
Was everything that just happened a dream?
-Sorry, I was showering
So it wasn’t a dream.
I sighed in relief.
Once I calmed down, I sent another message.
=Today felt like a dream
-It wasn’t a dream
=Okay
-What’s wrong?
=I love you, Si-hyun
-I love you too
“Hehehehe…”
While texting Si-hyun, I realized I should have been asleep long ago.
I hadn’t changed my clothes or removed my makeup?
Is this the power of love?
I didn’t even notice time passing.
I hurriedly changed and started removing my makeup, getting ready to wash up.
That’s when Oppa came upstairs and saw me like this.
“You’re only doing this now?”
“None of your business.”
“Are you dating someone or what?”
Oh no? Did he see?
Does he know Si-hyun and I are together?
“Then again, no way right.”
“R-right~ M-me? Dating? Impossible.”
Oppa chuckled and went back to his room.
My heart was pounding.
He must have been joking, right? I thought he found out.
I washed up quickly and lay in bed, but I couldn’t sleep.
It still felt like a dream, hard to believe.
Ding!
A message alert.
-Good night, Si-yeon
=Good night, Si-hyun. I love you
Ah! I’m so excited I can’t calm down at all.
I didn’t sleep well last night, and now this again… But I still feel a little regretful.
In novels, once feelings are confirmed, things progress further the same day…
I rolled around in bed, happy but wistful.
Finally, sleepiness won and I drifted off.

Then I started dreaming.
The setting was a hotel we’d been to before.
Si-hyun appeared in his underwear and walked toward me.
His lips moved, but I couldn’t hear what he said.
Then Si-hyun started slowly taking off my clothes.
I accepted his dizzying touch without resistance.
His slightly rough but strong hands gripped my breasts roughly, and even that I welcomed happily.
Si-hyun’s hands began roaming my body.
In the dream, I seemed to really enjoy his touch, my expression turning pleased.
As his hands moved lower, my expression grew lewd.
But it stopped there.
In the dream, Si-hyun and I went no further.
“Huh?”
I woke up suddenly.
In my dazed state, I recalled the dream's contents.
Though slightly embarrassing, I felt envious!
I also wanted Si-hyun to touch me like that.
Waking from the dream felt truly regrettable.
And why did it have to stop right at the most crucial moment!!!
"Sigh."
Thinking back now, whenever Si-hyun appeared in my erotic dreams, it was probably because I liked him.
Pushing aside my lingering disappointment, I discovered my underwear was slightly damp when visiting the bathroom.
