The rays of sunlight felt hot on his skin. At first, he didn't really mind. But then the brightness of the rays passing through the blinds concentrated on his eyes that it disturbed his sleep. Min Jae grunted.
"Hey, Eun Young! Close the freaking blinds! Damn it!" He ordered his wife.
He rolled on the other side of the bed. However, the sunlight still felt hot on his skin. No matter which direction he turned, he wasn't able to find a comfortable position to rest with. Min Jae squinted.
"Eun Young! Are you deaf now?! I said shut the freaking blinds!" He yelled again. Gosh this woman! Did I really have to repeat myself?
Min Jae was lying on his stomach atop the bed. He was about to attempt sleeping again when he suddenly felt a warm hand sliding across his bare waist. The sudden contact was a surprise to him, yet it was a welcome one. The hand moved towards the back of his neck. And slowly from his nape, a single finger traced the back of his spine.
"Hmm?" Min Jae acknowledged the touch. Suddenly, his entire body felt awake. Just as he received the stimulus, his entire body responded quickly.
Min Jae's eyes remained closed. He was savouring the hand's tickling performance on his bare skin. As far as he could recall, there wasn't any special occasion today. Why then was this morning different from the ones he usually wake up to? Could he have possibly forgotten his birthday? Or could he have died in his sleep that he's now in hell enjoying this hot pleasure?
Soft kisses landed on his bare shoulder as the warm palm rested on his back. Perhaps it was now time for the lips to do the work and well... he wouldn't really mind. Min Jae felt his heart leap with excitement. With this, his breathing quickened too.
"Hmm, Min Jae baby, why are you mentioning someone else when I'm the one here with you? It's making Na Rae upset. You wouldn't want to upset her further now, would you?" A soft feminine voice whispered in his ear.
Immediately, Min Jae's eyes flew open. He quickly got up to a sitting position on the bed that startled Na Rae. As he was about to assess the situation, a headache suddenly pierced through his skull. Min Jae massaged his temples and looked around the unfamiliar room.
"Min Jae baby, are you okay? Come, let me kiss the pain away." The woman approached Min Jae and began to kiss his cheek, his ear and the corner of his mouth. He made no move to reject the woman at all.
"There, all better?" Na Rae asked. The woman was beaming at him. Despite her messy hair, she was still attractive in his eyes. When Na Rae held on tighter to the white duvet that covered her chest, it was only then when Min Jae realized that she wasn't wearing anything beneath.
Damn, I really did mess up this time.
This was the first time he'd gone too far. He never thought that he would actually reach this point. Flirting was fine. Making out was fine too. But sleeping together? That's on a different page.
"Min Jae, you aren't regretting what happened, are you?" Na Rae suddenly asked. The question obviously caught him off guard. Just as he was about to reply, Na Rae kissed him on the lips.
With the woman's sudden ambush, Min Jae completely forgot his answer. His mind was in chaos!
"Are you?" Na Rae asked again when they parted.
Min Jae smirked. Actually, he just realized he didn't. Na Rae was delighted with his reaction. This man was hers and she knew it. Even if it was temporary, she vowed to herself that she wouldn't let this catch go anytime soon. Just as she was about to lean in for another kiss, the phone on the bedside table rang.
The phone belonged to Min Jae. Seeing the caller's ID, he rejected the call with disgust. The rejected call was registered to the phone's log and to avoid further disturbance, Min Jae switched his phone to silent mode.
"Who was it?" Na Rae asked.
But before Min Jae could answer her, he saw the date affixed on his screensaver. Of all the days he could've fooled around, why did it freaking have to be today?
It was the 26th of October, Eun-Young's birthday.
