While Chae Yoo-jeong was washing up, I washed my hands in another bathroom and went into the kitchen.
I'm not very good at cooking, so I can't make anything great, but fortunately, I have a fridge full of side dishes. They were sent to me from my parents' house a few days ago.
I put the side dishes on separate plates and brought them to the table, then boiled the galbitang I bought at a specialty store. I also finished frying two eggs, which even a clumsy person like me could easily make, and the table looked quite abundant.
'I'm hungry.'
The smell of food brought back a forgotten hunger. Now that I think about it, I hadn't eaten anything all day. I had completely forgotten because I was so focused on Chae Yoo-jeong.
'You had a headache in the morning, and now you even forget that you're hungry? This is really annoying. Yoo ji-han.'
Including the nightmares I had while sleeping, my mind was a total mess. I couldn't help but sigh at my own pathetic self.
After filling the table and waiting for a moment, Chae Yoo-jeong soon came out of the bathroom.
“You must be very hungry since you’ve been starving all day. Sit down quickly.”
Chae Yoo-jeong, who was sitting across from me, quietly picked up his spoon. However, he swallowed hard when he saw the abundance of food, so it seemed like he was really hungry, even though he didn't say anything.
After sitting across from each other and having a late lunch, this time I went into the bathroom. I turned on the shower, got wet, and thought quietly.
'Anyway, in the end, I still have to buy a ring.'
Both Chae Yoo-jeong and I went to buy a couple rings without telling each other and got caught.
So, I have to go out again to buy a ring later.
In this case, I should have been honest from the beginning and gone with him to try to match it up. Judging from the fact that Chae Yoo-jeong was trying to get ready secretly, it seems like he wanted the ring.
'Should I contact Tae-young hyung now?'
Or maybe it would be better to go to another department store tomorrow since there might be a ring that suits Chae Yoo-jeong's taste.
After washing up and going to the living room, Chae Yoo-jeong, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, looked back at me.
Chae Yoo-jeong, who was looking at me with a pale face, looked much better than before. As expected, people tend to feel better after washing with warm water and eating delicious food.
'I'm ready to talk.'
I approached Chae Yoo-jeong, roughly brushing back my hair that was still slightly wet.
"Did you brush your teeth while I was showering? You're really diligent."
"Yes."
As I stroked his head and cheeks with both hands as if I was stroking a puppy, Chae Yoo-jeong rested his face comfortably on my hands. After stroking him enough, I sat down next to him.
"Yoo-jeong-i, if you're feeling better, would you like to talk to your hyung now?"
"Yes……."
I wondered where to start. I hesitated for a moment before opening my mouth.
"First of all, I'm not really angry."
“…….”
"I'm not really a fan of lying, but that doesn't mean I hate them at all. If you want to help someone or give me a gift without telling me, like this, you can do it as much as you want."
Honestly, even if Chae Yoo-jeong tries to hide it, it's obvious, so it's impossible for me not to know. That’s why it’s better for him to feel comfortable lying.
When I explained it as calmly as I could, Yoo-jeong hesitated while listening with his eyes down.
"That's a lie... It bothers me that I did it."
"Yes."
"You were sick today. I went out alone and didn't do anything right...…”
The more I talk, the louder my voice becomes. Chae Yoo-jung became very depressed.
"I can go buy rings later. Kwon Do-hyun has a lot of work scheduled, so I would have met him on my own if I didn't go."
Chae Yoo-jung deeply regretted it and lamented his decisions a little.
"I should have just been next to you."
"Well."
I rubbed my forehead while listening to Chae Yoo-jeong's desperate heart.
No, I had a headache in the morning. After all, it was a stress headache caused by imagining and being jealous.
Of course, I felt guilty because I felt like I had instilled a sense of guilt in my baby, saying that my loved one was sick.
I laughed bitterly and poked Chae Yoo-jeong's cheek with my finger. Then, Chae Yoo-jeong, who was bowing down sadly, looked back at me.
"Yoo-jeong, do you know what I went to that department store for?"
"What?"
"Aren’t you curious? As to why you met me there."
Chae Yoo-jung looked puzzled later. It seems that the previous meeting, which was unnatural, has just come to mind.
"Actually, um... I went to buy it, too."
“……?”
“A couple rings. I wanted to prepare it secretly and give it to you as a gift.”
Chae Yoo-jeong opened his eyes wide after hearing the following confession. Light sparkled in his hazel eyes.
“I went to the biggest department store because I wanted to see a variety of designs. I don’t know what you’ll like.”
"Hyung……."
“But our Yoo-jeong had the same thought as Hyung. Isn’t it strange? I guess it’s a good thing. If we bought them without knowing that we were both preparing them, we would have had to wear two rings each.”
As he added playfully, Chae Yoo-jeong's cheeks quickly turned red. The guilt from before had completely disappeared from his face, which was always filled with joy.
“We both got caught trying to get ready secretly, so let’s stop blaming ourselves. Okay?”
Chae Yoo-jeong nodded vigorously with the aforementioned expression on her face.
“And… let’s go out together tomorrow and pick out a pretty ring. And while we’re at it, let’s eat something delicious and look around. Okay?”
I reached out and gently rubbed Chae Yoo-jeong's eyes and cheek. He felt warm to the touch.
Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been absentmindedly watching my gestures as if he couldn't believe it, suddenly stood up with a determined expression on her face.
“Yoo-jeong-ah?”
“Hyung, just a moment.”
Chae Yoo-jeong ran into the bedroom and came back out a few seconds later.
He approached me cautiously, looking at me with an awkward and embarrassed expression. The guy standing in front of me unnaturally held out his hand that he had been hiding behind his back.
“……!”
Surprisingly, what he was holding in his hand was a luxurious velvet-covered ring case. I looked up at Chae Yoo-jeong in bewilderment, swallowed dry saliva, and spoke while trembling.
“I’m sorry for hiding it. By the way, I bought this as soon as I got on vacation.”
"What?"
You bought it as soon as you got on vacation?
“Then why did you go buy another ring?”
“I don’t know much about this……”
Chae Yoo-jeong smiled shyly.
“I wasn’t confident. I didn’t know if Hyung would like it, if I was doing the right thing, I really didn’t know anything… So……”
He shut his eyes tightly as if he didn't know what to say.
I looked at that face and slowly opened the ring case. Inside the case that was opened while resting on Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand, there were two rings neatly placed inside.
A silver ring with a clear gem set in the center.
As soon as I saw the pair of identical rings, a tickling sensation spread through my chest. My heart beat pleasantly and a warm sensation rose up my neck and to my face.
'How……’
How can this happen?
From the moment I first decided to get a couples’ ring until today, I have looked at countless ring designs.
I wasn't satisfied with just seeing the images on the Internet, so I went to several department stores to see the actual product with my own eyes.
But none of them were to my liking. I was really not satisfied with anything, so I was worried about what to do……
This ring that Chae Yoo-jeong prepared dug deep into my heart.
'How can you be so pretty?'
I could not help but imagine Chae Yoo-jeong's hand with a ring on it. It was really, so... so pretty.
The tips of my fingers that were touching the top of the ring trembled slightly. I couldn't hold it in any longer and whispered.
“Pretty.”
“……!”
“You’re pretty, Yoo-jeong-ah.”
Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been waiting for my reaction with his tense shoulders, let out a short sigh of relief. Then, his eyes turned even redder. The water welling up in his eyes made it seem like he would burst into tears at any moment.
I was also overcome with emotion. It was driving me crazy.
It would be really embarrassing to cry after receiving a ring as a gift from a younger person, so I desperately tried to pretend that everything was fine and reached out my hand.
“Put it on.”
Chae Yoo-jeong took the ring out of the case with trembling hands. The beautifully shining silver ring gently slipped onto my ring finger.
When did he find out my size and buy it like this? Did he measure it secretly while he was sleeping like I was planning to? Thinking about it like that, I felt sorry and proud at the same time.
The ring fit me perfectly. I looked at the ring that was perfectly placed on my ring finger as if drawn on it, and then took out the remaining ring that was still in the case.
"Hand."
A hand that was shaking and not calming down at all was extended to me. Honestly, it was incredibly cute, but I couldn't laugh because my hands were shaking as I put the ring on him.
Chae Yoo-jeong's hand with the ring on it was as pretty as I had imagined. I kissed the back of his hand and held it with my fingers interlocked. My hands and Chae Yoo-jeong's, who shared the ring, were deeply intertwined.
"Thank you."
“……”
“I will cherish it for a long time.”
Chae Yoo-jeong could no longer bear it and shed big tears.
I hugged Chae Yoo-jeong, who was crying with a mixture of relief and happiness. I also became happy with the warm body temperature filling my body.
***
Chae Yoo-jeong's breath tickled my lips as the kiss that started on the sofa never broke apart on our way to our bedroom.
A strange sense of satisfaction filled me. It was a desire that I had personally revealed to Chae Yoo-jeong, who knew nothing about it. It was a somewhat base feeling of having won the first experience with a lover, but I did not want to deny it.
Anyway, my feelings towards Chae Yoo-jeong are just dirty and sinful.
Chae Yoo-jeong lightly grabbed my face. Perhaps the emotions from earlier had not yet calmed down, as his eyes were still red and his long eyelashes were moist.
I smiled and gave Chae Yoo-jeong a short kiss first. The lips that had once playfully met soon became deeper.
“Umm……”
I leaned back, wrapping my arms around Chae Yoo-jeong's shoulders, who was leaning against his upper body. A hot tongue swept over me, biting my lips to the point of slight pain, sending shivers down my spine.
This has an impact.
"Ha……."
Chae Yoo-jeong climbed over my still body, fervently deepening our kiss as his hand snaked upwards, slipping into my shirt whilst deftly stroking my waist.
The gesture of slowly taking off my clothes while giving me a kiss on the lips was very natural. He was already good with his hands and sense. And with the experience gained from a long relationship, it was only natural that he was good at it.
So I usually do whatever Chae Yoo-jeong wants. I have gotten better at it so it doesn't hurt me.
But, today.
As I grabbed Chae Yoo-jeong's collar and pulled him down, he fell onto the bed. As he was flustered, I quickly turned over and straddled him.
"Hyung?"
Chae Yoo-jeong blinked slowly at the sudden change in posture. I instinctively pushed the shoulder of the guy who was trying to raise his upper body and took off the T-shirt he was wearing in one breath.
"I received a ring from our Yoo-jeong, so I can't just sit still, right?"
"Yes?"
"Okay, hurray~."
I quickly took off my top before Chae Yoo-jeong came to his senses. My hands became much faster than Chae Yoo-jeong's.
