Chapter 120: A Promise by the Sea

As the weekend and the Awakened Day holiday overlapped, Taewoon was the one who suggested we go on a trip. It was to the sea near his family’s home. Although it was only for two days and one night, it was my first trip with him, so I waited for the day with a fluttering heart.

I packed a light bag and, full of anticipation, we headed to his family’s home. The place we would be staying at was the mansion where he had lived as a child. I remembered it because I had been there once before my regression.

As soon as we arrived at his family home, the butler and the house staff greeted us. Perhaps concerned that we might feel uncomfortable, they moved to the annex after our arrival. They said they would stay there except for mealtimes. It seemed he had given them a heads-up in advance so we could have some time to ourselves.

Inside the house, antique wooden furniture, like those in a British movie, was appropriately placed. I wanted to look around from the first floor, but I was most curious about the room he used to use.

“Where’s your room?”

“The last room on the second floor. There’s nothing to see.”

But at my insistence that I wanted to see it, he guided me to his room.

In his room, there were things like a teddy bear and a model airplane that a child would play with on display. They didn’t suit the current him, but it was fun to imagine what he was like as a child.

“It’s cute.”

“My father gave them to me when I was young.”

As I looked at the teddy bear, he also seemed to be reminded of old memories, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

I sat on the bed and took in the scenery of the room, as if getting a glimpse of his childhood. The children’s desk and bookshelf he had used, and the toy box and closet. Everything felt lovely.

“Should we go see the sea now?”

I wanted to look around more, but the sea was the main event of the trip, so I stood up. I could look around the room again when we came back, so I pushed aside my disappointment.

The sea was about a 10-minute drive away. He said we could look around comfortably as it was his family’s private property.

We parked the car in the parking lot and looked at the sea beyond the sandy beach. The weather was good, and just looking at the vast blue sky and the rolling waves made my heart feel refreshed.

Since it was early summer, we couldn’t go into the water, but I was happy just walking on the sandy beach, which made a rustling sound with every step.

We walked around the beach, wearing the couple shirts he had given me side by side. The sea breeze gently brushed against my body like a wave. I was happy to be sharing this moment with him.

I saw a small seashell on the sandy shore, sparkling in the light. I picked up the adorably small shells one by one.

He was taking pictures of me with a camera he had bought a few days ago. It was awkward being photographed, but it was also fascinating and joyful that he was capturing me in a photo from his perspective, so I tried to get used to the camera angle little by little.

But I couldn’t walk side by side with him if he was taking pictures. I wanted to walk along the beach with him, but I couldn’t, so I felt a little disappointed. I wondered what I should do to be close to him and take pictures at the same time, and then I called out to him.

“Taewoon, let’s take a picture together.”

At my words, he approached me with a shy expression.

Since there was no one around, we had to take the pictures ourselves. I wasn’t skilled at handling the angle yet, so the pictures didn’t come out well, but I was happy just that he and I were in the same photo.

After a leisurely stroll on the beach, we spent some time at a cafe near the sea and then returned to the mansion. After finishing the dinner that the staff had prepared with care, I came out of the shower to find him waiting for me with a nervous expression.

“Want to go to the greenhouse together?”

I immediately nodded at his words. My interest in flowers had grown while I was raising them in the greenhouse on our terrace at home. I also wanted to see the daffodils in the mansion’s greenhouse that remained in my memory.

We held hands and walked to the greenhouse behind the mansion. A soft light was shining from the glass greenhouse.

As we entered, I could smell the sweet scent of flowers. He led me to where the light was coming from. In the place we arrived, there was a small table that blended well with the surrounding scenery. Around the table, lovely flowers were in full bloom, looking at us.

As I cautiously approached the table, I saw two rings. Only then did I realize that he had prepared all of this for me. That today was the day I had been waiting and hoping for.

He picked up the ring case with a nervous expression, then gently held my hand and spoke.

“Shinui, from the moment I first saw you, my heart became a space just for you.”

“…”

“I think the more you avoid something, the more deeply you want it. I’ve done things to you that you can’t forgive, but I’ll devote my entire life to you and use my life to love only you.”

With each word he spoke, his words were deeply engraved in my heart.

“Will you make a pledge with me?”

“…Do you know I’ve been waiting for only these words?”

I had been waiting all this time for his heart to open up. I was overcome with emotion and hugged him tightly. He also hugged me back gently, as if in response.

“I will also look at and love only you for my entire life.”

When I looked into his eyes, he was also looking at me with teary eyes. My eyes were probably not much different from his.

I was the one who kissed him first. He also gently held my cheek and pressed his lips against mine. Fireflies that had been hiding in the bushes were shining brightly, as if celebrating our future happiness.

By the time we returned home, a matching pair of rings were on our hands.

As soon as we entered the house, I held his cheek and continued the kiss from the greenhouse. As we were engrossed in the kiss, licking lips and mixing tongues, he put his hand under the crook of my knees and lifted me up lightly. The place he took me was the second floor, his room.

He gently laid me down on the bed. I felt the soft touch of the mattress and blanket on my back, from my hips to my back. The feeling of lying on the bed he had used before I knew him and looking up at him was indescribably thrilling.

‘Tonight… we’ll spend the night together.’

I hadn’t thought I would receive a proposal today, but it was the moment I had been waiting for so long. My heart was pounding so much that I wished time would stop so that this excitement would last forever.

He, who was staring at me lying on his bed with heated eyes, leaned in for a kiss. The kiss was deeper than ever, and I couldn’t breathe properly.

There was no longer any hesitation in his hands. From his fingertips, they moved under my shirt, and the shirt he had given me rolled up.

I also unbuttoned his shirt one by one. In the dark room, only our heated breaths could be heard.

I touched his firm skin and then slowly moved my hand down to touch his. I had seen him aroused many times, but I couldn’t tell if it was because of me or a side effect of his ability. So I was curious if he was aroused by me at this moment.

His erection, too big for my entire hand, was felt in my palm. I had never seen his in person, so I didn’t know the exact size, but it seemed bigger than I had thought, and I became a little anxious.

“Can I take it off?”

At my words, he nodded. I slowly took off his pants. Although it was dark, the silhouette was visible in the faint moonlight coming from the window.

Even with his underwear on, I could tell it was big. After finally taking off his underwear, I was so surprised that I froze for a moment. To exaggerate, it was similar to a 500ml water bottle. If this went in… The thought alone brought pain.

As I remained silent, he asked worriedly.

“Is it weird?”

“Ah, no. It’s just bigger than I thought.”

“Is it big? I’ll try to make it as painless as possible. I want to see yours too.”

Mine was small compared to his, so I was embarrassed to show it, but I knew I had to show him everything today, so I carefully took off my pants.

He used his ability to slightly illuminate the surroundings. At the sudden light, our naked bodies were completely revealed, and I was so startled that I flinched. When I was startled, he immediately turned off the light, but it seemed he had seen my body in that brief moment.

“I’m sorry. But… you’re hard.”

“That’s… yeah, well…”

“I was worried you wouldn’t be. That’s a relief.”

He seemed to have had the same worry as me, as his words were laced with joy. It was a needless worry. I was a body that got aroused just by his kiss.

In an instant, we were both naked. To be honest, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to get under the covers, but my desire to be touched by him was also great.

“They say you have to be sufficiently relaxed so it doesn’t hurt. Will you spread your legs for me?”

“L-like this?”

I lay on my back and spread my legs slightly. It was a position I wouldn’t have been able to do if the lights were on. He, who must have prepared it at some point, took out a condom and gel from the drawer and coated his hand sufficiently.

“It’ll hurt since it’s the first time. Tell me if it hurts.”

“Okay. …Be gentle.”

He came between my legs and spread my thighs a little wider. Then he carefully moved his fingers towards my hole. With the sticky feeling of the gel, his firm fingers pressed around the hole as if to release the tension, and it felt strange.

“You need to relax.”

I tried to relax, but my tense body was rigid. Still, the places his fingers touched began to loosen up little by little.

As he, who had been caressing the area around the hole, pushed his finger inside, pain shot up from below, even though only one had entered. If it hurt this much now, then when his…

“Ugh.”

As I let out a short groan of pain, he also noticed I was in pain and pulled his finger out.

“Does it hurt a lot? Should we stop…?”

I shook my head. His overprotectiveness was already severe, so if we stopped now, I thought we would never be able to do it again.

“You can continue. It’s just because I’m not used to it.”

“You have to tell me if it hurts.”

I resolved not to show it even if it hurt. He carefully began to widen the inside with his fingers. The pain continued, but I could feel my body reacting to his touch little by little. He painstakingly relaxed me until three of his fingers could fit inside.

The long foreplay only made me more anxious. In the end, I whispered for him to put it in. He looked worried, saying we needed to relax more, but it wouldn’t not hurt even if we did, so I thought it would be fine to put it in now. And I wanted to connect with him quickly.

“I’m putting it in. Tell me if it hurts.”

As I gave a low nod, his head pushed inside. As the hole stretched as if it would tear, my hand instinctively went to it. But since only the head had just entered, there was still a lot of his left.

It hurt so much that I thought I would cry, but just having him inside me gave me a strange sense of pleasure. It was a truly ironic situation.

He looked at my face and slowly moved his body, inserting not only the head but also the shaft inside.

“Shinui, can you try to relax a little?”

Even if I tried to relax, my lower body couldn’t help but tense up. He, knowing I was tense, grabbed my and stroked it as if to tickle it. Just his touch created pleasure and eased the pain.

At my reaction, he also seemed a little relieved and began to move. He must have used his healing ability, as the pain in my sore hole disappeared.

As the pain disappeared, I also lifted my hips to make it easier for him to enter.

I began to get used to the feeling of his inside me little by little. I put my hands on his shoulders and kissed his neck. Fortunately, he also seemed to enjoy being inside me, as he moved and let out a low moan.

Every time he touched my , the pleasure seemed to double. Semen flowed from my , and it swelled even larger. At some point, I instinctively began to move, searching for a pleasant spot.

“Ugh.”

As he, who was moving his hips, pressed on a pleasant spot inside me that I didn’t even know existed, a shiver ran down my spine, and semen shot out briefly. It was all in a moment, and I grabbed his arm tightly in surprise.

“You like it here?”

I looked down and nodded. Then he began to thrust, centering on that spot.

“Hmph. Th- ugh, at.”

I had never felt this kind of sensation before, and I was scared. I twisted my body and pushed him away, but he cruelly held my hips firmly and entered deeply.

“Shinui, I feel good too.”

As he pushed inside and shook my , my mind went blank. Even though I said to stop, he pushed me to the limit, and in the end, I came quickly. Sticky semen was sprayed on my stomach.

He looked at me, who was limp with pleasure, with a loving expression. He stared at me as if to imprint the sight in his eyes, then began to move his hips again without separating our pressed bodies. As the highly sensitive spot was rubbed again, pain and a thrilling pleasure ran up my spine and enveloped my entire body.

I tried to calm my trembling body by gripping his back and arm tightly, but semen flowed from my again. Seeing that, he, unable to hold back, gritted his teeth, lifted my thighs, and plunged in even deeper.

A suppressed moan escaped me every time his reached the root. I couldn’t think of anything with the heat he was giving me. He continued to thrust fiercely despite my struggles, and only after he had pressed and explored the inside of me to his heart’s content did he come.

I panted heavily, sprawled on the sheets, and looked at him. He was also breathing shallowly, his face flushed red. He, who had been aroused and had come in me, looked so lovely. I thought I could finally say the words I hadn’t been able to say before.

“…Taewoon.”

“Yeah?”

“I love you.”

At my words, he looked surprised, but then his face looked like he was about to cry, and he whispered to me in a trembling voice.

“Me too… I love you more.”

“Let’s go and make the pledge as soon as we wake up tomorrow morning.”

I hugged his neck and whispered in his ear. What kind of expression would he make when he found out I had already signed the pledge?

Would he be surprised? Or happy? I thought it might be both.

I finally felt that our hearts were firmly connected. I kissed his lips deeply, picturing a happy daily life with him in the future.
