Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love - Chapter 107: Living Together (9)

I’ve lost count of how many times I did it with Han-gyeol.

Was it about three times…?

If we count the number of times we reached the climax, it was much more.

Han-gyeol seemed to have been holding back a lot; he kept wanting me without tiring.

And I accepted all of Han-gyeol without any hesitation.

It didn’t stop there; even while washing up in the bathroom, we had sex.

Because of that, when we came out of the bathroom and lay back in bed, we were completely drained.

Lying exhausted on the bed, I stared intently at Han-gyeol’s face.

The way he looked at me with such loving eyes was incredibly captivating.

If I kept looking, I might just get sucked in.

“Han-gyeol.”

“Yeah, Eun-ha?”

“I really like you so much. What should I do? I really, really like you.”

At my confession, Han-gyeol smiled and gently hugged me.

I wanted to stay in his warm embrace forever.

I wished time could stop like this.

Now, I can’t even imagine a life without Han-gyeol.

It feels like he has become my entire life, and I keep looking at him.

In the end, I couldn’t resist and gave Han-gyeol a quick kiss on the cheek.

“Do it on the other cheek too.”

“Okay!”

I promptly kissed his other cheek as he requested.

But I couldn’t stop there and ended up covering his face with kisses.

I really, really like him more than anything in the world.

“I wish we could just stay together like this all the time without having to go back to study.”

“There are fun things at college too.”

“Not as fun as being with you, of course.”

“That’s true, but we still have to make the most of our college life~”

Han-gyeol is a diligent person, so he’ll study hard at university.

But I want to just take it easy in college and spend my days like this with him, cuddling every day.

Cooking breakfast for each other, helping with the cleanup, and occasionally spending these passionate nights together—that would be perfect.

Oh, how wonderful it would be to always be with Han-gyeol like this.

“Hey, Han-gyeol.”

“Yeah?”

“We can’t always stay together like this, can we?”

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“It’s a bit sudden, but I really don’t want to be apart from you even for a moment. When college starts, and later when you go to the military, and when we start working, it feels like we won’t be able to spend as much time together as we do now.”

“That’s a realistic point. We probably won’t be able to stay like this forever. Right now, our parents support us with rent and living expenses, but later on, we’ll have to take responsibility for that ourselves.”

“Yeah, I figured. It’s disappointing to think about it.”

“Can I ask an embarrassing question? Do you really like me that much?”

“Of course I do!”

I sat up abruptly in bed.

“It’s really hard to explain how much I like you, Han-gyeol…! I really, really like you… to the point where even I think it’s a bit excessive. That’s why I keep acting like this. I don’t want to be apart from you even for a moment; I can’t live without you.”

As I rambled on, Han-gyeol chuckled and pulled me into his arms.

He held me tightly and whispered in my ear.

“Then I’ll have to cherish you even more so that we won’t have any regrets later.”

“You already cherish me enough…”

“Isn’t it still not enough? If I cherish you even more now, we won’t miss each other as much when we have less time together later.”

“But I don’t want to burden you. This is my selfish desire, so you don’t have to push yourself.”

Han-gyeol paused for a moment after hearing my words and then spoke.

“Wow, you think the same as I do?”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

“Well, I’ve been holding back some things because I didn’t want to burden you.”

“What?! Why? There’s no need to hold back!”

I looked at Han-gyeol in surprise.

“Because you always say you’re already getting enough love? I didn’t want to overwhelm you by giving too much.”

“N-no! It’s not overwhelming at all! When I say it’s enough, I mean it’s perfect, not that you should stop!”

“Really? Then from now on, I’ll just show you even more love without holding back.”

Han-gyeol’s words made me realize once again how important it is to communicate honestly.

Even if we say the same words, they can be interpreted differently by the other person.

Clearly expressing our intentions… seems to be the best way.

“So, can I tell you what I want too?”

“Of course. Why? Do you have something you want from me?”

I hadn’t planned on saying it, and I wasn’t sure if my feelings were right, but today I became certain.

“When Han-gyeol touches me, I can really feel his love.”

“Hm?”

“When you look at me lovingly, when you pat my head like I’m cute, and when you compliment me, I feel loved. But what I love most is when you touch me. So… I want you to want me more.”

Han-gyeol listened to my words intently.

“Like today… I want you to want me intensely…! Hug me and kiss me a lot… And I like it when you desire me roughly like today…! I want you to touch me more! More than now! Anytime! And if possible, passionately!”

As soon as I finished speaking, Han-gyeol gently swept my hair behind my ear.

“Anytime?”

“Yes, anytime.”

“No matter when?”

“Yes, whenever you want.”

“Your body won’t last.”

“It’s okay. I’ll make sure not to worry you.”

“Alright. I’ll touch you every day from now on. Passionately!”

“Hehe, I love that!”

I smiled happily and gave Han-gyeol a kiss on the cheek.

“Han-gyeol~”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Thank you for coming into my life.”

“Thank you too. For making me happy.”

We pressed our foreheads together and smiled brightly.

Just looking at each other made us smile.

From now on, we decided to love each other more generously.

***

Han-gyeol and I had satisfied all our pent-up desires yesterday.

But perhaps we were too tired; even the loud alarm couldn’t wake us up.

It wasn’t until Han-gyeol kissed my forehead that I woke up with a grin and eventually got out of bed.

I hurried to the kitchen when I smelled a fragrant aroma filling the house.

“You’re finally awake. Happy birthday, Eun-ha.”

“Wow-! What is all this?! A birthday feast?!”

In front of me was a birthday feast that Han-gyeol had prepared.

I was stunned to see seaweed soup, japchae, and even galbijjim.

“Did Han-gyeol do all of this?”

“Well… the galbijjim was hard. That’s a meal kit.”

“Oh, come on~ This is amazing.”

I ran over to Han-gyeol, who was wearing an apron, and hugged him tightly.

Usually, he would hug me back firmly, but today he lifted me up into the air and spun me around in circles.

Then, he planted a deep kiss on my cheek.

“Hehe. It feels so good to get a kiss too. I should have asked for more affection sooner!”

“You really like it~ Your smile is as wide as your ears.”

“I’m so happy! Don’t ever hold back again! Got it?!”

“Then Eun-ha, you have to do it too. Here-“

“Okay! I’ll do it too.”

When Han-gyeol offered his cheek, I eagerly bit it and didn’t let go.

“Ah- I’m getting eaten.”

“Mmm-“

“Alright, let go and let’s eat the birthday meal first. I hope it tastes good.”

“I want to eat Han-gyeol first~”

After clinging to Han-gyeol’s cheek for a while, he led me to my seat.

Seeing Han-gyeol serving me warm seaweed soup was incredibly endearing.

“Okay, Han-gyeol. Sing the birthday song quickly.”

“I was wondering when to do that. Should I do it in the morning? I planned to have the cake in the evening.”

“Do it now and again later! I want to hear it now too.”

At my words, Han-gyeol slowly began to sing the birthday song.

“Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~”

Hearing Han-gyeol’s voice always lifts my spirits.

Even though he was shy, he sang the entire birthday song to me.

Why does my boyfriend in front of me keep making me feel so dazed?

Why does just looking at him make me feel like I’ve got the whole world?

“Happy birthday, dear Eun-ha~”

After finishing the birthday song, Han-gyeol silently looked at me.

“Happy birthday, Eun-ha.”

“Thanks! Now, let’s eat the food Han-gyeol prepared.”

I smiled brightly and took a spoonful of seaweed soup.

As soon as I tasted the deeply flavorful soup, a natural smile spread across my face.

“How is it?”

“It’s the best in the world!”

“What’s that~!”

“Seriously, it’s the best in the world~”

My first birthday in my twenties started off so well.

I think it’s going to be a wonderful day.

“Eun-ha, you look even brighter today.”

“It’s all thanks to Han-gyeol~”
