Chapter 62
Sua slowly poured hot water over Hyun-oh’s body in the bathtub. Round water droplets fell onto his broad chest. The lighting in the bathtub was too bright. Under the yellow light, his well-defined muscles were clearly visible.
So Sua couldn’t look that way properly.
He was her beloved husband, and they had spent many hot nights together, but she couldn’t be bold enough to stare at his magnificent naked body. She roughly scooped water and applied it to his body.
“You have to do it properly, Sua.”
It sounded like a scolding, but Hyun-oh’s voice had a playful tone mixed in.
Sua had been by Hyun-oh’s side, helping him with various things after he got injured. However, he was so skillful that he could dress and undress by himself, and he could shower perfectly fine alone.
It was annoying that he insisted on bathing together now.
“Do the soap too. No, you might get it on your clothes.”
“As expected, huh? So, I’ll just wait outside while you bathe…”
“Take off your clothes and come in. Let’s bathe together.”
“Yes?”
Sua, who usually didn’t raise her voice, unintentionally exclaimed.
“What do you mean by ‘together’…?”
“We’re a married couple. It’s not strange to bathe together.”
“Not… strange, but…”
She felt like she couldn’t refuse. But Hyun-oh’s request was strong.
“Don’t want to?”
He looked at her with a hot gaze. Water dripping from his wet bangs gathered towards his sharp nose.
No one could say no to that man.
“I’ll… I’ll take off my clothes.”
Blushing, Sua hurriedly headed to the bathroom.
Maybe.
Perhaps.
She didn’t expect things to turn out like this. With Sua sitting in front of him, Hyun-oh admired her to his heart’s content. His touch and lips knew no bounds.
“Hyun-oh…”
Even if she tried to avoid it, there was nowhere to escape in the small bathtub. Wherever she went, Hyun-oh’s lips followed her. He trailed his lips over her exposed back. Every time he did, a strange moan escaped Sua’s lips, despite being in a bathtub full of hot water. That lascivious sound reverberated throughout the bathroom.
“Hey, not there.”
“It’s okay.”
Afraid of pushing him away and causing more problems for his injured arm, Sua couldn’t resist much. He squeezed her soft breasts with his left hand and sucked on her skin with his lips.
Instead of just bathing, this was completely, entirely…
“Hah…”
Sua’s lower body warmed up under his hot breath. She felt aroused not just because of the hot water but for other reasons too. It felt like something hard was pressing against her back, regardless of being in the water. She trembled as if she might burn up at any moment.
“Are you cold?”
When Sua trembled, Hyun-oh asked affectionately. She shook her head. It wasn’t cold, but this… this was…
It was anticipation.
She was filled with a desire to have him quickly.
“Then…?”
“Uh…”
Although it wasn’t something to say in the bathroom, Sua eventually succumbed to her desire.
“I want you so much, Hyun-oh.”
She couldn’t believe she was saying these words.
“I want… my body is trembling.”
“Han Sua.”
He was always mischievous, but for a moment, Hyun-oh seemed surprised by Sua’s unexpected confession. Then he rested his face against Sua’s neck. His stubble brushed against her skin.
“You always surprise me. But…”
“…”
“Keep being honest like this. Every word you say makes me happy.”
Then, he effortlessly lifted Sua with his left hand. Amazed by his strength, she hadn’t even finished admiring it before she was already on top of his firm thigh.
“Hah…”
Sua’s soft skin crumpled under his touch. As he quickly penetrated her, the hot water in the bathtub added to Sua’s excitement.
“Ah, ah…”
It was crazy.
In the bathtub, with Hyun-oh injured, she couldn’t hold back and kept demanding.
Why did I end up like this? Was I always like this from the start? I wasn’t supposed to come into the bathroom.
But it was too late for regrets. His hardness penetrated Sua, and with their movements, the hot water in the bathtub made noises according to their actions.
Splash, splash.
Water droplets splashed over Sua’s white skin and the black tiles of the bathroom.
“Huuh, ugh.”
“Sua, Han Sua.”
He shook his body in the bathtub. Each time, the needle of sharp pleasure stirred Sua. She was on top of Hyun-oh’s body. Because of gravity, they became one so perfectly that it was suffocating.
Whether it was because of the hot water or their rough actions, her breath became increasingly rough.
“Huh, Hyun-oh.”
“Sua, I love you.”
It took a very long time for Sua to hear those words from him. It felt like an eternity. But at this moment, all the wounds and waiting from that long time were rewarded.
Sua turned her head to look at him. Overflowing with affection, his gaze poured onto her. Now, she didn’t doubt his feelings anymore.
“I love you too… hah, I love you.”
In response to Sua’s words, Hyun-oh smiled gently and sucked on her lips. It was a tender and soft kiss. Yet, their bodies moved quickly and urgently.
“Ah, ah, Hyun-oh, there…”
Hyun-oh raised Sua’s pounding heart high and then dropped it, giving her a dizzying sensation. It felt like she was going crazy. No, maybe she already had.
“Ah, ugh.”
In the end, as they reached an intense climax, Sua lifted her head. Water droplets fell from her pointed chin and scattered on her flushed skin.
Trembling all over, Sua clung to him.
“Hyun-oh…”
I love you.
I feel like I’m going crazy because I love you.
Being with you like this, it’s embarrassing yet so wonderful that I can’t help it.
I love you, Hyun-oh.
She intended to say that, but her lips, consumed by pleasure, didn’t move.
But it didn’t matter. There would be plenty of time to confess her love to him in the future.
They would be together in the future.
So, it was all okay.

Sunday morning.
The weather was good. After weeks of numerous typhoons hitting Seoul, they had all passed, and the clear Seoul sky was so blue it made your eyes sting.
Today, both Hyun-oh and Sua had no work, so they woke up early and leisurely had brunch together.
Hyun-oh made well-cooked omelets with plenty of baked potatoes and mushrooms.
During the weekdays, they had a housekeeper who came to do the household chores and cooking because both Sua and Hyun-oh had work. But on weekends, Sua and Hyun-oh took care of the house themselves.
This morning, Hyun-oh cooked. Strangely, although he wasn’t good at Korean food, he was always good at Western dishes, perhaps because he had become accustomed to them during his short study abroad.
“It’s delicious.”
After putting the yellow omelet Hyun-oh made into her mouth and feeling it melt, Sua burst into laughter. Hyun-oh also smiled as he ate his salad with a fork.
“Is it good?”
“Yes. Very, very.”
“I’m glad.”
The smiling man raised his teacup with his right hand. Finally, last week, Hyun-oh got rid of his cast. It was a compound fracture with two broken places due to a wrong collision, but fortunately, it ended well without any disabilities. However, the red surgical marks occasionally visible under his rolled-up sleeve still pained Sua’s heart.
Then, Sua’s phone rang.
It was a message from Jiheon, her brother.
Since Hyun-oh talked to Sua about Ji-heon, he never brought up the topic of money to Sua again. Sometimes it scared her. Did Hyun-oh suffer too much damage to protect her?
“Who is it?”
“It’s my brother, Jiheon.”
“What does he say?”
“Just asking how I’m doing.”
Afraid that Hyun-oh might worry about some unnecessary message from Jiheon, Sua showed him her phone. While doing so, she asked,
“You didn’t… give him any money, did you?”
“Why?”
“He’s too well-behaved. He’s not this kind of person.”
“I didn’t give him any money. Don’t worry. Just leave it to me.”
“But…”
Still, she worried. Before Sua could say anything, Hyun-oh picked up a mushroom with his fork and put it in Sua’s mouth.
“Trust me, Han Sua. Don’t worry.”
His voice was firm, like a tree with deep roots that firmly planted itself in Sua’s heart.

After brunch, drinking coffee. Sua sat by the window with a book in hand, preparing to read the previous work of the author she was now in charge of.
When Hyun-oh finished cleaning up in the kitchen and wiped his hands, he came into the living room. He noticed Sua, who was dozing off in her chair with a book in her hand.
The warm autumn sunlight poured in, hitting Sua’s face. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow. He gently approached her, hoping not to disturb her, and sat down beside her.
“Um.”
But perhaps she sensed his presence, Sua’s eyelids fluttered.
“Sua, let’s go inside and sleep.”
Considering how busy they had been lately, it was understandable that she might be tired. But Sua shook her head.
“The sunlight feels good… I want to stay here a little longer.”
Her voice was still groggy from sleep. Her appearance was so adorable that Hyun-oh couldn’t help but smile.
“Alright, let’s do that.”
He then leaned her head on his shoulder. Sua, leaning on him, soon fell asleep with the book tightly clutched in her hand.
The day was good.
The world was beautiful.
With you by my side, everything was good.
It was a warm and peaceful, ordinary Sunday morning for the ordinary couple.
