Tale of The Nine Tailed: The Gumiho's Lover

08

Waking up from a deep slumber, a soft yawn slips from the maiden's mouth. Karina stretches her body to ease the morning stiffness with her half lidded eyes. Of course, it is just a normal routine on a daybreak.

Not until self-conscious completely hits her.

"Oh shoot!" She managed to say before closing her mouth instinctively and turned to look at the man laying on the couch. Apparently, he is not aroused from his sleep.

Last night was incredibly insane for both of them, as Karina herself could not believe that she acted emotionally by hugging Lee Rang all of a sudden - claiming that her purpose of doing that was to comfort herself and not the other way round.

Then, the scenes from yesterday came attacking her mind like hate comments with no tomorrow.

<--- 01:00 AM [précédemment]

Not long after their short 'friendly-hug' by the bar counter, the man passed out in a very drunk state. Considering that she is a woman alone compared to a guy that is much taller and heavier than herself, Karina went through a roller-coaster while trying to get Lee Rang lie down in a comfy place. After all, there is this saying that a person is twice heavier when intoxicated or simply got wasted.

First, she had to help him stand up from the stool without losing balance - which was barely even successful because his weight kept dragging them down every time she tried. Next, to prevent that dearest guy from hitting any objects beside him along the way. That part was just as tiring as the previous one, except that she voluntarily put more care into this one so that he won't get hurt.

Last but not least, she had to bear with some accidents occurring while on the way to the master bedroom. Karina recalls back clearly of how the two of them fell when she tried to step up a small stair, but instead got tripped over. That made her to take Lee Rang's fall instead so that she could save him from hitting the ground.

Did it hurt?

Well, by all means it surely did.

But that was nothing compared to the tense situation they were in after getting on top of another. During the fall, Karina did not think twice when she just held him close - almost like a hug.

In hindsight, it would have been better if she didn't.

In fact, that poor girl struggled when Rang moved unconsciously against her body, to the point where her face turned crimson red due to the unintended skinship.

Face snuggled into the female's neck. The weird sensational feeling whenever the tip of the nose or the lips of Lee Rang got in contact with her bare skin. Not without the warm breath this man left every time he exhales, which immediately cause a stir in both of her heart and stomach.

I. Am. Dead!

"Lee Rang-nim, can you please.."

Karina tried to say while pushing the man by his chest, only to get more flustered afterwards.

The young lady laying underneath just freaking touched a bare chest of a ̶h̶o̶t̶̶ guy with her own two hands!

She would apologize to him right away, yet she felt like Lee Rang also owes her one. Well, after all those 'thrill' he got her going through.

Later on, Karina faced the same difficulty on trying to help him get up. That was probably the sole reason as to why she gave up dragging the man to his room, and let him sleep in the living room instead.

With heavy breaths and visible sweats on the bottom of her hairline, she lets the exhaustion take over as her legs turned somewhat wobbly and made her sit on the floor. Facing the guy in his deep slumber looking like a sleeping beauty of a man version, Karina stroked his left cheek lightly - treating him like a precious yet fragile possession.
