When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Side Story Chapter 02

"Don't you think about your health?"

He pinched her soft cheeks and let go of his hands helplessly.

"...Okay, it's my fault. I'll quit smoking."

Baek Sa-eon stroked his serious face just now and whispered. There was no edge in his surrendered voice.

"But this is the last time." He suddenly hugged Hee-joo up. 

"......!"

He didn't lower his head but pulled her to the level of his eyes and sucked her lips.

"Hmm..."

He took away all the bitter taste in her mouth.

He wrapped her weak tongue and sucked it quite stubbornly, making Hee-joo feel like she was being washed.

Even if she stood quietly, sweat would seep out, and in this sultry weather, the worn-out exhaust fan made a buzzing sound.

In this dirty and shabby place, sharing a kiss with the smell of cigarettes with this man.

Half a year ago, it was impossible to imagine such a future.

"Huh..."

He was more persistent than expected. His tongue went deep into her mouth, and she felt the heat all over her body.

He opened his jaw and chewed her carefully as if he wanted to devour her. The flame of desire was ignited instantly. His teeth brushed across her upper lip, and their wet tongues entangled with each other, and the small protrusions on the tongue coating also tightened. In the brief separation, harmful smoke escaped from his lips.

He frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Don't do this kind of thing as a joke in the future. It's really bad for children's lungs."

Being treated as an immature child again.

Hee Joo pushed his shoulder angrily. She felt that she had used a lot of strength, but he didn't move at all.

"How old am I, and you still say such things?"

Baek Sa-eon smiled and ruffled her hair. "Because you are precious, I can't bear to let you go." 

"......!"

He hugged Hee Joo tightly and buried his face in her neck, as if he didn't want to leave a gap.

"I'm sorry, Hee-joo." 

"Hmm?"

"I was so focused on keeping you by my side that I ignored your feelings." 

"......!"

"I thought that just having you was enough. After all, I only learned to possess and control things that didn't belong to me."

"Oppa..."

"But now I regret that I just kept you in a fish tank like an ornamental fish all those years."

Hee-joo's nose was sore and she closed her mouth tightly.

"I never thought about how lonely and painful you were." 

"…..."

"I always thought there was no problem with our marriage. As long as I could immerse myself in your tranquillity after get off work, I would feel satisfied."

"…..."

"I like your scent at home and the traces of you sitting on the sofa." 

"....."

"Because of you, home becomes quiet and comfortable. Only when I return home, my fatigue will dissipate."

Hee-joo just blinked her trembling eyelashes gently.
