Dark Shades x Seonghwa FF

Chapter Twenty-Two

As a whole week passed by, what the medics told Seonghwa's aunt weren't exaggerations, his grandmother was gradually deteriorating even if she could speak a little bit with the oxygen tank.

He's at the usual spot overlooking the city of Jinju, on a Saturday afternoon, with Hyosonn being the only person keeping him sane.

She was snuggled against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeats and feeling his mouth in her hair. For the first time, today they haven't had intimacy at this hill, yet Seonghwa felt so at peace by having his girl at his side.
The reason was also because there's something weighing on his mind, and it's reminder of how the hourglass is slowly running out of the sand of time for his Halmeoni Dae Eun.

"Seonghwa, you've been strange all day today. Tell me what is troubling you." Hyosonn murmured softly, tilting up her head to look into his dark eyes full of grief and misery.

He tightened his hold around her, first exhaling and gazing towards the gray, cloudy sky reflecting his emotions perfectly despite the company of Hyosonn. Then he stares dismally down into those beautiful dark eyes expressing compassion and love.

"Today Halmeoni wants to talk to me and Aunt. It's about her last wi-will." The mentioning of this last word choked Seonghwa, the bitter aftertaste like he had acid inside his mouth.

"Oh..." Hyosonn breathes, squeezing his waist to provide some sort of consolation. "Then I suppose you have to take me home, since that's private family matters," she adds quietly.

"No, babe. I seriously need you there. Please," Seonghwa pleads, sighing into her hair.

"Ah, okay. I just thought I wasn't allowed there..."

"You can, Hyosonn. You're keeping me from going crazy with this nightmare," he mutters, swallowing the lump in his throat. "We should go, then. Aunt said two o'clock." He released another deep sigh, and Hyosonn reached for his face to cup it in her two little hands.

He gazed sadly at her, attempting to not break down in front of her.

"I know it's hard, but you aren't alone. I'll be there, your Aunt," she says in a soothing voice.

"Thank you, Hyosonn. Thank you." Seonghwa whispers, bending down to kiss her and deepens it a moment, letting the intoxicating effect of Hyosonn's love and adoration to drown out the profound misery torturing his battered soul.

She buried her hands in his hair and gives him what he silently requested, their tongues stroking and brushing along each other's. A low groan came from Seonghwa, already feeling the temporal relief his angel provides him.

Rising to recover her breaths, Hyosonn glides over to his throat and begins to leave a trail of gentle, tender kisses. He moans, his head leaning to the side to give more access. Her lips were like a balsam, the sensations going deeper than only his skin.

Finishing at the corner below his ear, she then rests her forehead on Seonghwa's, both breathing heavily.

"You make me forget the fucked up shit in my life, and also got me hard..." he murmurs, and they both burst into quiet laughter. Hyosonn put her arms around his neck, sweetly kissing his warm cheek.

"Should I say sorry? Did I go a little overboard?" she asked, nuzzling the area now before having her nose touching his.

He chuckled softly, stroking up and down her covered back from the turtleneck sweater she's wearing now,  "Nah, I greatly appreciate it, even if we can't do nothing about it for the moment," Seonghwa replied, a tiny smile playing at his lips. Then he shifts to hover above Hyosonn's ear. "I'll get you sooner or later, and that's a promise." He grinned inevitably when she shivered in his embrace.
