Spectrum of Red. [LISRENE]

29

The sunlight spilled through the kitchen window, catching the edges of Lisa's tinted glasses. 

Today, her usual crisp shirt and pants were the same, but the glasses gave her an entirely new aura, one that radiated intelligence and an almost magnetic sexiness. She moved with quiet confidence, a notebook tucked under her arm, yet every step drew Irene's gaze like a magnet.

Irene leaned casually against the counter, eyes narrowing in a mixture of admiration and envy. Her tone was teasing, edged with bitterness. 

"Your students and the other professors... they're going to drool over you today."

Lisa smirked, adjusting her glasses with a finger. 

"Jealous?"

Irene's smirk turned bold, almost daring. 

"Jealous? Hell yes. They get to look at you and get educated, while I can't..." 

She let the words trail off, letting her gaze linger in a way that made Lisa's pulse quicken.

Lisa arched an eyebrow, her voice a low tease. 

"Want me to teach you coding too?"

Irene's lips curled into a sexy grin. 

"Lisa, you should teach me... other things."

Lisa gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. 

"Hyun! You're... being naughty."

Irene took a step closer, her hand brushing over Lisa's chest in a movement so slow it was almost deliberate. 

She leaned in, capturing Lisa's lips in a short, electric peck. Lisa felt the air shift around her, a spark of color dancing behind her eyes. 

"I can see little colors now," she whispered, breathless.

"That means the gene therapy is working," Irene replied, voice low and intimate.

Lisa's arms wrapped instinctively around Irene's waist, holding her close. 

"It's... indeed," she murmured, feeling the warmth of her friend press against her.

Finally, Lisa pulled back slightly, placing gentle hands on Irene's shoulders. 

"You still have to get ready for dance practice."

Irene pouted, letting out a soft whine before pressing into Lisa again for a longer, deeper kiss. Lisa leaned in, about to answer with her tongue, when Irene smiled mischievously, pressing her hands to Lisa's chest. 

"I have to go to university," she murmured, pulling away.

The two of them made their way toward the kitchen, the tension between them lingering like static in the air.

Tzuyu was already seated, the aroma of fresh food filling the room. 

"I made some breakfast for you both," she said warmly.

Lisa and Irene exchanged a small smile and thanked her, the domestic simplicity grounding the earlier electricity.

Tzuyu leaned forward, curiosity lighting her eyes. 

"How's the therapy going, Unnie?"

Lisa's smile was quiet but proud. 

"I'm improving." 

She cleared her throat, her tone shifting to one of authority and joy. 

"And... I have news. I've been approved to adopt Lily. We're welcoming a new member into this house."
