The ride back home was steeped in a heavy, charged silence. Jeongguk's hand remained wrapped around Y/N's since they left the grand business party, where they had been the center of attention, praised by South Korea's elite. Now, the world outside the tinted windows seemed distant, blurred by the speed of the limousine, as if the night itself was eager to bring them home.

Y/N's heart was racing. She could still feel the warmth of Jeongguk's lips from the kiss they had shared on the dance floor—sweet, lingering, and full of emotions neither had fully acknowledged yet. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, her gaze trailing over the sharp lines of his profile, illuminated faintly by the streetlights outside. His grip on her hand tightened slightly, and her pulse responded with a matching rhythm.

The limousine came to a smooth halt in front of their mansion. Jackson opened Jeongguk's door first, and he stepped out with the grace of someone in complete control. Yet, as he turned to help Y/N out of the car, there was a slight hesitation in his eyes—a flicker of something deeper, more vulnerable. His hand, strong and steady, reached out to hers, and when their fingers intertwined, Y/N felt that familiar jolt of warmth spread through her chest, steadying the butterflies in her stomach.

They walked up the steps in silence, the weight of the night's events pressing down on them. Y/N's mind was racing, trying to process the shift in Jeongguk's demeanor. He had been possessive, protective even, throughout the evening—holding her close, never letting her stray too far from his side. And now, as they stepped into the quiet, dimly lit mansion, that protective aura was still present, but there was something else. Something more primal.

The door clicked shut behind them, and the silence that followed felt thick with anticipation. Y/N looked up at Jeongguk, her breath catching when she saw the way he was looking at her. His eyes were darker than usual, filled with a simmering intensity that made her knees weak. He stepped closer, and her breath hitched. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, the tension between them pulling tighter with every second.

Jeongguk's hand came up to gently cup her cheek, his thumb brushing over her bottom lip with a tenderness that sent a shiver down her spine. His gaze softened for a moment, as if he were trying to memorize every detail of her face, but the desire in his eyes remained unyielding.

"I couldn't stop thinking about that kiss," he murmured, his voice low and husky, the sound vibrating through Y/N's chest. His thumb continued its lazy path across her lips, and her heart thudded painfully against her ribs.

Y/N swallowed, her voice barely above a whisper. "Neither could I."

His breath hitched, and that was all it took for the dam to break. In an instant, Jeongguk's lips were on hers, crashing down with a hunger that stole the air from her lungs. The kiss was nothing like the gentle one they had shared earlier. This one was filled with urgency, with a need so raw and overwhelming that Y/N could barely keep up. She gasped against his lips, her hands instinctively reaching up to tangle in his hair, pulling him closer.

Jeongguk groaned softly into the kiss, the sound reverberating through her body, igniting a fire in her veins. He traced her lips with his tongue making sure to remember every corner of her pretty mouth. His hands roamed over her body, gripping her waist and pulling her flush against him, erasing any space between them. Y/N's head spun, the world around them fading until there was nothing left but the feeling of Jeongguk's lips, his touch, his warmth.
