"I'm here..." She whispered, her voice soft, as if filled with some kind of anticipation, but also like shyness.
Ouyangguang stood behind her, his breath gently brushing her hair.
"Yeah." He responded, his voice slightly hoarse.
Kim Ji-won pulled out her key, her fingertips trembling slightly as she inserted it several times before finally aligning it with the keyhole. The moment the door opened, warm yellow light poured out, illuminating a small area of the floor in the entrance hall.
"Come in." She stepped aside, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Ouyangguang followed her in and closed the door.
With a soft "bang", the door closed.
Kim Ji-won had just put the roses on the shoe cabinet and had not had time to turn around when she was suddenly hugged gently from behind.
Ouyangguang rested his chin on her shoulder, his breath warmly brushing against her ear: "...Nuna."
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her fingers subconsciously grasped the edge of the shoe cabinet.
"Thank you for today." His voice was low and a little hoarse. "The song is very nice."
Jin Zhiyuan tilted her head slightly, and her eyes met his. Her shadow was reflected in his amber eyes, and he was so focused that her breath stopped.
His eyes fell on her lips, and the unfinished words seemed to melt into her breath.
Jin Zhiyuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart beat so fast that it almost burst her chest. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
"...You're welcome." She said softly, the corners of her mouth curled up, "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony."
No answer.
The next second, a warm hand suddenly grasped her wrist, the force light but impossible to break free. Before Jin Zhiyuan could turn around, she was gently pulled back by a force.
Ouyangguang's coat slipped from her shoulders, and the bouquet of roses fell onto the carpet with a "pop".
He supported the door panel beside her ear with one hand, lifted her chin with the other hand, and kissed her without warning.
Kim Ji-won's back rested against the cool door panel, while his chest scorched her. A dizziness washed over her as the heat and cold alternated. This kiss was completely different from the light, fleeting touch at the beach, hidden by her shirt. It was deeper, more intense.
Ouyangguang placed his palm behind her head, and his other hand tightly clasped her waist, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
Ouyangguang's lips pressed tightly against hers, and his tongue gently probed hers with a domineering and gentle touch that could not be refused. Jin Zhiyuan's legs felt weak, and she almost fell into his arms.
Kim Ji-won's breathing became completely disordered, and her fingers unconsciously grabbed his collar, her knuckles turning white.
"Wait a minute..." She protested vaguely between breaths, but he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss. The creamy sweetness of birthday cake lingered between her lips and teeth, mixed with the cedar scent of the perfume's base.
After a long moment, he finally pulled away slightly, resting his forehead against hers, his breathing ragged. His eyelashes cast a fine shadow under the light, falling on his teardrop mole. His voice was hoarse, "...So," he whispered, "the three gifts for my coming-of-age ceremony are complete."
Kim Ji-won's face flushed instantly, her fingers still clutching his collar. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she only uttered a soft "hmm."
Ouyangguang chuckled softly, and his fingertips brushed the corner of her lips: "Nuna... Today it's cherry flavored."
Jin Zhiyuan raised her eyes and glared at him, but the shame in her eyes made the glare have no deterrent effect: "...You are so annoying~"
Ouyang Guang's eyes darkened, and he grabbed her waist and kissed her again.
This time, it was deeper and tighter than before.
He pressed Kim Ji-won against the wall, her breathing completely disordered. His palm pressed against her waist, the warmth burning her skin through the thin fabric.
"...Ouyangguang." She tilted her head slightly and gasped for breath and called his name.
"Hmm?" His lips touched her earlobe, his voice low and hoarse.
"...the flowers I sent you..." she whispered, her eyes falling on the rose petals scattered on the ground.
Ouyangguang followed her gaze and suddenly smiled.
"I'll give you another one tomorrow," he said, running his fingers through her hair. "...and a bigger one than this."
Jin Zhiyuan wanted to say something, but he sealed her lips again.
After a long time, he finally moved away a little, resting his forehead against hers, his breathing slightly disordered.
"Goodnight," he whispered, a smile in his voice.
"Good night~" Kim Ji-won's cheeks were hot and her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out.
Ouyangguang chuckled, brushed the corner of her lips with his fingertips, then let her go and took a step back.
"See you tomorrow."
The door closed gently, and Kim Ji-won leaned against it, slowly sliding down to sit on the floor. The newly embraced rose in her arms was still bright, and her lips still had the warmth of his. She raised her hand to touch her lips and couldn't help but smile.
The rose petals scattered on the ground glowed softly red under the light of the entrance hall.
On the other side, Ouyangguang stood in the elevator, looking down at his fingertips, where the touch of her hair seemed to still remain.
He took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Tonight's dream will probably be very sweet.
