Join the ServerJung Seunghee watched Eunhae silently, offering no reply.
In his lingering gaze, she could decipher his unspoken answer.
‘I want to kiss you right now.’
‘But, but I’m not ready for that yet!’
Eunhae knew it too. If things continued this way, her ‘readiness’ would never truly arrive.
After all, she hadn’t started dating Jung Seunghee because she liked him.
She had dated him for the convenience of obtaining the ‘Fate-Veiling Effect’ that came from holding his hand.
Still, at first, she had braced herself for the physical intimacy expected of a couple.
‘But Jung Seunghee made me feel so comfortable that I completely forgot…’
Even if she refused Jung Seunghee now, he wouldn’t force any physical contact. He possessed that much decorum.
‘But then, our relationship would slowly drift apart.’
That thought filled her with regret.
Before she knew it, Eunhae had grown fond of Jung Seunghee.
It wasn’t in a sexual sense, but she genuinely liked him as a person. So much so that she often thought it would have been better if he were just a friend, not a boyfriend.
‘If I suggest we be just friends now, he’ll just cut off all contact.’
Jung Seunghee wasn’t the type to remain friends with an ex-girlfriend.
As if he could see through the flurry of thoughts in Eunhae’s mind, Jung Seunghee smiled faintly.
“I know you’re not ready yet, noona.”
“……”
“But I feel like I’ll wither away waiting for you to be fully ready.”
“Th-That’s…”
“Since you don’t seem ready, I won’t insist on it today. I just… want you to know.”
“……”
“I don’t want to just play house like this, not anymore.”
“……”
“Let’s head back to the car now.”
Jung Seunghee slowly released her hand and turned away. His back, as he walked ahead, somehow looked forlorn.
Eunhae watched him for a moment before gathering her courage.
“S-Seunghee.”
“……”
Jung Seunghee turned to look at her.
“Seunghee!”
‘I don’t love you. But I don’t dislike you either. I like you, but I also know that your feelings for me and my feelings for you are different.’
‘Still, my honest desire is to stay by your side.’
Eunhae couldn’t articulate all those feelings.
So, she expressed them through action instead.
She approached Jung Seunghee and gripped the front of his shirt. Even with a gentle tug, he moved closer as if he had been waiting.
Eunhae and Jung Seunghee’s lips met.
They merely touched.
She had miscalculated the angle, causing their noses to bump, but their lips had, nonetheless, made contact.
Eunhae released her hand from Jung Seunghee’s shirt.
Her round, squirrel-like cheeks slowly flushed crimson.
“Th-That was it, today.”
“……”
“A kiss…”
As soon as the word ‘kiss’ left her lips, her face felt like it was on fire.
Jung Seunghee’s brown eyes deepened with shadow, becoming almost as dark as Eunhae’s.
“No, noona.”
“Huh, what?”
“This is a kiss.”
Jung Seunghee grasped Eunhae’s shoulders. When she looked up in surprise, he descended like a hawk.
Their lips met once more.
This kiss was entirely different from the one Eunhae had attempted.
Jung Seunghee nibbled at her lower lip. The forceful suction made Eunhae involuntarily part her lips.
He didn’t miss the opening.
A hot, large tongue parted her teeth and entered, instantly filling her mouth.
“Mm, ugh!”
As she struggled in surprise, Jung Seunghee’s hands shifted position. His right hand moved up to grip the nape of her neck, while his left slid down to encircle her waist.
In an instant, Eunhae was held fast by Jung Seunghee, pressed tightly against him.
“Mm, mmm!”
Jung Seunghee’s high nose tickled Eunhae’s cheek. In contrast to the soft touch of her cute cheek, a wet, smacking sound emanated from within her mouth.
His thick, large tongue squirmed as if intent on tasting every inch of her delicate mouth. All she could do was twist her tongue, trying desperately to escape.
However, such actions seemed only to further incite Jung Seunghee.
The grip on Eunhae tightened. Her soft stomach was pressed haphazardly against Jung Seunghee’s muscles.
“Mm, mmm!”
‘I can’t breathe! I’m suffocating!’
Feeling the danger of suffocation, Eunhae pushed roughly against Jung Seunghee’s shoulders and chest. Yet, he paid her no mind, continuing the kiss.
When Eunhae truly felt she was about to die, she frantically hit Jung Seunghee. Only then did he reluctantly pull his lips away.
“Phew! Whoa! H-Huh, huh, huh…”
“Breathe slowly.”
“I-I thought I was going to die from suffocation…”
“We need to improve your lung capacity, noona. You can’t hold your breath for long.”
Jung Seunghee uttered such nonsense as he stroked Eunhae’s head and back.
If she had her way, she would have grabbed him by the collar and given him a taste of crossing the River Styx. But even just catching her breath was too arduous a task.
“Oh, Mom…”
“……”
“No, what are you trying to do again… Go away, go away, m-mmm!”
“……”
“Mm, mm!”
Having tasted a kiss, Jung Seunghee did not easily let Eunhae go. She found herself suffocating multiple times, her lung capacity severely tested.
Her lips remained trapped between Jung Seunghee’s until she had more or less learned how to breathe while kissing.

Korea University’s festival was notoriously dull.
It was so uninteresting that even Korea University students were widely rumored to prefer attending festivals at other nearby schools rather than their own.
“But I’ve never even been to our school’s festival.”
“Wasn’t it just that the festival was boring, so you didn’t bother going?”
“How would I know if it’s fun or not if I haven’t been…”
Eunhae sighed.
‘No, no. This year is different. This year, I can truly enjoy the romance of college life!’
Thank you, Jung Seunghee!
She turned to look at him, her heart filled with gratitude.
Seunghee, whose eyes met Eunhae’s, offered a soft smile. From the driver’s seat, his body leaned towards the passenger side.
“W-Wait!”
Eunhae quickly stopped Seunghee with her hand. The sensation of his lips brushing her palm was ticklish.
“W-We just kissed!”
“That was a moment ago.”
“Again?”
“I always want to kiss you, noona.”
“Th-That’s a sickness.”
“I’ve never heard of such a sickness.”
“Th-That’s a serious psychological illness.”
“Any doctor would say it’s a natural reaction. It’s only natural to want to kiss someone you like, isn’t it?”
“It is not natural!”
“Don’t you like me, noona?”
Eunhae’s eyes wavered with guilt.
“I… do like you…”
“……”
She thought Seunghee was sly. He knew that she always lost her composure whenever the question, ‘Do you like me, noona?’ came up, and he was exploiting it.
Seunghee’s fingers gently brushed Eunhae’s hair.
She had taken off her hat inside the car. No one would deliberately try to peer through the window anyway.
Thanks to Seunghee, many things had become easier.
Being able to momentarily avoid seeing fate by holding his hand was a significant benefit. Besides that, she had received numerous small assists from Seunghee.
Just this car, for example. Thanks to Seunghee driving his car these days, Eunhae could rest away from people.
‘I can rest in the restroom too, but it’s completely different from a car.’
Eunhae sighed and took Seunghee’s hand.
“I truly like you. How could I kiss someone I don’t like?”
“…Sometimes, it feels like you’re just humoring me.”
Eunhae flinched and lowered her head.
“Oh, come on, that’s not true. Maybe the size of our feelings might be different… but it’s not like I’m dating you against my will because I don’t like you.”
“Really?”
“Of course!”
Eunhae answered loudly, as if trying to convince herself as well.
Seunghee smiled.
“Alright. So, what were you saying earlier? You want to go to the festival?”
“Yeah. I’ve passed by it when going to lectures, but I’ve never really seen it properly.”
“It should be fine as long as we avoid the area near our department.”
Ever since the graduate student grabbed Seunghee by the collar, the atmosphere surrounding Seunghee within the department had been tense. Fortunately, the graduate student was in the lab, and Seunghee wasn’t the type to actively pick fights, so it hadn’t escalated significantly.
However, a definite awkwardness towards Seunghee existed, centered around the third and fourth-year students.
“I suppose we’ll have to.”
She was curious about what they were doing in the Physics Department, but there was no need to provoke anyone unnecessarily.
Moreover, at university festivals, everyone ran pubs, and when alcohol was involved, even minor squabbles often turned into major fights.
