3.

As a general rule to their arrangement, Sullyoon doesn't linger too long after they've actually had sex. There isn't any cuddling or helping each other get dressed - or one watching while the other gets dressed - and there definitely isn't any sleeping over.

But this particular Friday afternoon Sullyoon can't quite get herself out of Yunjin's bed. She had came to the conclusion the first time around that her mattress was ridiculously soft and the pillows were insanely comfortable, and don't even get her started on the way Yunjin's sheets felt against Sullyoon's naked body. She could basically live in Yunjin's bed.

Yunjin chuckles very softly under her breath as she enters the room, staring at Sullyoon rolled up in her sheets.

Sullyoon's head emerges from beneath the sheets at the sound and she looks up to see a stark naked Yunjin leaning against the doorframe with two mugs in hand. Sullyoon unabashedly stares and Yunjin smirks.

She saunters her way over to the bed as Sullyoon sits up against the headboard, the sheets pool at her waist but she doesn't attempt to cover her nakedness; Yunjin had seen it all already.

Sullyoon eyes Yunjin's legs as she makes her way over and doesn't even blush when Yunjin has to clear her throat in order to gain her attention again. By now, they were both very aware of their attraction for each other.

Sullyoon takes the steaming mug of tea, holds it in both her hands and waits until Yunjin is settled beside her before she takes a first tentative sip. She hums softly at the sweet taste of honey.

"I'm so glad you didn't have anywhere to be tonight. I don't think I can walk for another hour at least."

Yunjin chuckles again, louder this time and Sullyoon eyes her with an amused expression. "That's adorable."

"Oh please." Yunjin scoffs and rolls her eyes, but she can't help the barely visible blush tainting her cheeks and Sullyoon that may be even more cuter. Which probably should've been her fourth warning sign.

"Anyway, you'll need to get up soon. I have a dinner at one to prepare for."

"That sounds so sad."

"It's anything but." Truly, Yunjin has grown quite fond of silence and as a writer, she appreciates being alone. The space allows her to think without disruptions.

"So you're never lonely?"

"I have friends, Sullyoon."

"You do? I've never heard you talk about them."

Yunjin looks at her with a mischievous grin. "That's because we don't talk much."

"Touché." Sullyoon grins as well and holds out her cup for Yunjin to clink. They fall into silence as they drink their tea. It wasn't particularly uncomfortable, just filled with something heavy.

Probably with the fact that they truly didn't talk much. They're not friends, they barely know anything about each other's lives. There arrangement was to have sex together, not have heart-to-hearts about topics and their situations.

That's why Sullyoon never stays longer then fifteen minutes after they'd had their last round. In those minutes they'd talk about their plans for the weekend, thank each other for amazing orgasms and then part with a simple "see you next week."

Sullyoon doesn't really know what's different between this time and why she decided to stay longer than usual. Maybe because Sungjin had been acting weird since returning from his trip on Tuesday. Maybe because Yunjin was still on top of her, softly nipping at her neck, long after they'd both recovered that the thought of leaving hadn't crossed her mind.
