CHAPTER 26

When Lalisa came back out, she still felt quite bad, and she chided Taehyung.

" The guy just wanted to go to the bathroom, but you went and made him do push-ups instead. That's so inhumane... "

Along the way back, she kept harping on Taehyung to tell that person not to do them.

Taehyung did not answer her. Sliding his right hand in underneath her hair, he took her slender, smooth neck into his hand and led her back to the guest reception room. Lalisa had taken only two steps when she became aware that something was not quite right. Everyone else would put an arm around the shoulders. Why was his posture more like he was carrying a little chick by the neck?

Forget it. He was someone who had too many drinks. She would let it slide.

When they were back in the room, the effects of the alcohol were going to his head, and leaning back into the headboard, he waited for himself to sober up.

Lalisa presumed that he wanted to sleep, so she did not turn on the lights. Using that basin of water, which was still warm, she melted away her mascara a little at a time. After rinsing off her face, she then half wrung out the towel and wiped down her face and neck and also arms. Making do in this way, she got onto the bed and went to sleep.

When she had slumbered to nearly five o'clock, which was also the time when Lalisa was most sleepy, she could feel Taehyung's warm palm on her chest, kneading it. She could not be bothered even to speak, and squirming, she turned over. But that turned out to be exactly what he wanted. Her skirt was pulled up. The position was perfect. It would seem that he planned to get directly down to business.

Lalisa was not sure herself whether she was dreaming or this was real.

Her senses felt disjointed. In that moment when she felt that sensation rising up, a couple of light moans of " mm " escaped from her.

Taehyung turned her face towards himself and began kissing her. Suddenly, knocking resounded on the door... A jolt shot through Lalisa, and she started back to awareness. Taehyung halted all his movements as well. Like there was an unspoken understanding between them, the two fell silent together, pretending they were still asleep. Then they heard a person outside calm.

" Commander Kim? Commander Kim? Didn't you say you want to see the dogs? They're doing training right now. "

There was no response.

Like, that person had caught on that he should not be disturbing the people inside, or perhaps was very innocently and chastely thinking that the two were simply sleeping under the covers. Either way, the footfall gradually moved further away.

Taehyung carried on once more, his breathing heavy as he increased his force...

Thud, thud, thud. Another person ran up to their room and let loose his throat, shouting.

" Reporting, sir! "

Taehyung could not hold back a curse. He reckoned that they all remembered the words he had tossed out after drinking too much last night, and if they did not see him show up to go check on the dogs, the entire squadron undoubtedly would, one person at a time, come here to call him. There was no chance for him to do anything else that he might want to do.

Against the background noise of door-knocking, he pulled himself out, yanked up the zipper of his pants, and with his upper body still unclothed, got off the bed.

" All right, already. I know. "

Taehyung rummaged through the drawers, searching everywhere for some chewing gum. He really did find some. In fact, he not only found gum, someone's spouse had stayed here previously and had even left behind half a box of Durex...
