Chapter 96. What Are We? (15)

He found it cute to see her blush and stutter, albeit like an AI. In a better mood, Lee-Seob picked up the towel he had left on the nightstand.

“It’s cold, so use this to wipe yourself.”

As he said that, he wiped her face himself.

“Your face first of all.”

“No need.”

“Your face is a mess from tears, you know?”

“Ah.”

Minkyung bit her upper lip.

“Why did you cry? Did it hurt so much?”

“It hurt, but not as much as the first time.”

Lee-Seob looked into her eyes and smiled genuinely. Then he patted her head and stood up. As she watched him, he said,

“It’s too cold. I’ll soak the towel a little more in hot water so you can wipe your body.”

“No. Director, I…”

“Do you want to take a shower?”

Minkyung’s eyes widened.

“No.”

She shook her head three times, as if to emphasize her firm refusal.

“Then stay.”

“Give it to me like this. It’s still warm.”

Minkyung took the towel from him and bowed slightly.

“Thank you.”

She quickly reverted to AI mode and turned around. Lee-Seob quietly observed her slender back. It looked so soft and yet so firm that it was perfect.

He sat carefully behind her and gently touched her shoulders. Although she flinched, she continued to wipe herself.

“Kang Minkyung.”

She didn’t answer. Still, Lee-Seob whispered in her ear,

“Let’s do it again.”

Her eyes widened as she turned to look at him.

“Not today.”

“Ah.”

“Of course, it would be better if we did it today.”

“No. I told you it’s not possible today.”

“Alright, tomorrow.”

“What?”

Lee-Seob scooted closer, trapped her between his legs, and lightly squeezed her breasts with his arms around her.

The towel fell from her hand. Lee-Seob picked up the towel and spread her knees with one hand, while with the other he caressed her breasts with red marks all over them. She leaned back as if to avoid him, but that only brought her closer into his arms. As he wiped between her legs, she trembled.

“Does the towel feel cold?”

“No.”

“Does it hurt?”

“A little… Yes.”

“Do you hate me?”

Minkyung didn’t respond.

“You must really hate me.”

He murmured.

“Not exactly. I liked it…”

Her soft mumble made Lee-Seob chuckle. As he played with her breasts mischievously, he said,

“That response turned me on. Are you aware of your situation? You’re at a disadvantage.”

“Ah.”

She turned her head to look at him. The bewilderment in her intellectual eyes only fueled his desire. He sighed, dropped the towel, and released her.

“Get dressed. Unless you want to fuck again.”

Her eyes widened in surprise at his indecent words. Lee-Seob looked away from her eyes. He felt the need to pin her down on the bed again. He quickly got out of bed and handed her the clothes one by one.

She started to put on her underwear as she hid under the blanket. Then stretched out her arms to pick up her sweatshirt and sweatpants.

Lee-Seob put on a hoodie, and said,

“I’ll walk you home.”

Minkyung stared at him. His member was only half-erect. Minkyung nodded slightly, as if this time it was okay.

As they walked slowly towards her building, they kept an awkward distance. He wished she would hold his arm, but she didn’t seem to intend to do so. Except for her slower steps, she was as composed as ever.

“Can you walk all right?”

She paused to think, then answered clearly.

“Better than yesterday.”

As she wondered if there was some way to accurately assess the level of discomfort to support her response, he joked,

“I was going to carry you, but apparently it’s not necessary.”

She laughed a bit.
