Yes, It’s Me. The Obsessive Side Top

#038

“It’s this time already?”

“Why? Do you have something to do?”

“It’s time for the daily drama. Look at me. I forgot while playing with you kids.”

“Forget that and play with me instead.”

“Jin-i. Grandma can’t give in on that one.”

Grandmother hurriedly went into the room, leaving only me and Sun Woo on the wooden bench in the yard. 

“Grandmother abandoned me…”

How fun is that drama for her to leave so readily like that? Her cool behavior made me act gloomy, and Sun Woo snorted.

“Go inside and watch it together.”

I shook my head, indicating it was fine since I didn’t enjoy watching TV much.

“I like being with you too, Sun Woo.”

I thought I had said something unnecessary, but Sun Woo didn’t seem to mind much.

The sky that had darkened at some point was densely studded with stars. Seeing countless stars I had never seen in Seoul, I looked up for a while, then just lay down.

As I lay there, I heard Sun Woo moving and gradually getting closer to me. Soon, the back of my head was lifted, and Sun Woo’s thigh went under it. In other words, I was now lying with my head on Sun Woo’s lap. His thighs were firm with just the right amount of muscle. I moved my head little by little on his thighs, which had no soft spots, finding the optimal position. Perhaps my actions stimulated Sun Woo, as he flinched.

‘Is it ticklish?’

I settled into position and looked at the sky. Lying down definitely made the stars more visible. As I was silently counting the stars, Sun Woo’s face suddenly appeared in the dark night sky. His cool, well-defined features shone brighter than the stars in the night sky. 

Even at an angle that would be humiliating for others, his perfect face was simply handsome. That guy is really good-looking, befitting a protagonist.

“I didn’t know you were Grandma’s grandson.”

At my words, Sun Woo lowered his gaze. He examined me carefully as if studying me, then showed a faint smile. His smile made me foolishly smile back.

“I didn’t know you were that person either. So the ‘Jin-i’ Grandma called was the ‘Jin’ in ‘Ha Jin’.”

“I came here expecting Grandma’s grandson to be a pretty girl.”

“…You did what?”

A chilling air that didn’t suit the summer day lingered around Sun Woo like a mirage. I slapped his thigh that he had offered me with a loud smack.

“Grandma said she was pretty, so I was expecting it. She definitely said prettier than me, but how could that be you? It should have been a girl. Grandma’s grandson… should have been a girl.”

That way, our Ok-bun wouldn’t have an expiration date.

Whose fault is this, really?

“Sorry for not being a girl.”

“Yeah. You should apologize to me.”

I raised my hand and fiddled with his cheek, sarcastically responding to him. Then, suddenly feeling resentful that he was Grandma’s grandson, I pinched him hard. Even though I was pinching him, Sun Woo didn’t react at all and just stayed still like that for me.

I pinched his soft cheek, then stroked it with my hand. The velvety texture of his skin felt nice. I touched it for a long time, addicted to the subtle sensation, until my arm ached and I lowered it. How long did I touch him for my arm to hurt like that? Anyways, Sun Woo had a strange power to draw people in, even without being coated in honey. No wonder that dung fly Ha Jin got caught too.

“Sun Woo. If we had known each other, we would have become close much sooner. Why didn’t we even exchange phone numbers?”

“Your cell phone is just for decoration.”

“It’s not on silent anymore.”

There were few people who knew my number, so calls were extremely rare. Kim Shin kept sending me his daily life like a diary even though I didn’t ask, which was annoying. Thinking of Secretary Kim, who would just come to my house worried that he couldn’t reach me, I thought I shouldn’t do that.

“You’re not even holding your phone now.”

“You’re right. I guess it became a habit.”

“Are you going to ignore my calls like that too?”

“You’re going to call me?”

“Now that I know your number, there will probably be at least one occasion to contact you.”

‘Sun Woo contacting Ha Jin first. Wow, this webtoon is getting more and more interesting.’

“I’ll always answer your calls.”

Lying still, it wasn’t particularly hot, but Sun Woo was already holding a fan and fanning various parts of my body. His long arms moved largely and slowly, stirring up a breeze all over my body. The well-defined arm muscles moving just to fan me seemed trivial and cute, making me laugh automatically.

“You look just like a grandfather right now.”

“I’m chasing away the mosquitoes.”

Whether I teased him or not, Sun Woo diligently continued fanning. His thoughtfulness in taking care of me was really lovely. Being friends with Sun Woo, I get to enjoy such privileges too.

Then, when it got completely dark, Sun Woo showed me where to wash up, and after a quick shower, I said goodnight to Grandmother and went into the room.

A thick blanket was spread out on the floor of the room, filling it up completely. In the space with no more room, I collapsed from fatigue and lay down.

“Why are there two pillows?”

I thought it was strange and was sniffing the scent of the sun-dried blanket, which I liked, when the door opened. Seeing Sun Woo entering through the open door, I sat up.

“Are we sleeping together?”

“There are only two rooms.”

“Oh, really?”

At his words, my throat seemed to stiffen awkwardly.

I lay back down clumsily, and Sun Woo roughly shook his head and walked over to the spread-out blanket.

“There’s no air conditioning in the room. Is that okay?”

“I don’t get hot easily.”

“You do seem like that.”

When I looked at him as if asking what he meant, Sun Woo turned off the light and sat next to me. The LED clock on the wall illuminated the room with a soft light, just enough to distinguish objects.

“You always cover yourself tightly with the blanket when sleeping. I thought you’d be like that.”

“Really?”

He observed me closely. Sun Woo lay down beside me and snuggled up close to me.

“Wh-why?”

When I asked, startled for no reason, a smile spread across Sun Woo’s face.

“I’m glad you don’t get hot easily.”

“Why?”

“Because I’ll be sticking close to you.”

“Why?”

I was repeating “why” like someone who only knew that word.

I mean, really, why? Why is Sun Woo sticking close to Ha Jin?

“It’s my sleeping habit.”

I was at a loss for words at Sun Woo’s answer.

It doesn’t make sense. I know from reading the webtoon that Sun Woo is sensitive when sleeping, so he has a hard time falling asleep if someone is around. He’s been like that since he was young, and I’m sure there was a line where Sun Woo himself said that. And he’s saying he sleeps all snuggled up? It doesn’t add up.

Did I remember wrong? That can’t be.

While I was thinking it was strange, Sun Woo’s arm pulled my waist tightly. As his head came close to the nape of my neck, I could feel his breath, making me flinch involuntarily. When I showed that flinching reaction, Sun Woo seemed to find it amusing and laughed, pulling me even closer with more force.

“Ha Jin.”

Sun Woo took a deep breath and called my name in a low voice. His voice, which felt like a beast’s growl, made my hair stand on end.

“Not going to cry anymore?”

Why is he suddenly bringing up my tears?

Sun Woo, who had his gaze fixed on my clear eyes, showed a slightly disappointed expression.

“You’re pretty when you cry.”

Hey, Sun Woo? What kind of statement is that?

Sun Woo’s eyes curved beautifully as he looked at my dumbfounded expression. Mesmerized, I looked at his face and slightly parted my lips.

Then, Sun Woo lightly rubbed my lips with his finger. Gradually, he applied more force, distorting my lips.

“I’m going to kiss you now.”

“Huh?”

“It’d be even better if you cry.”

Unlike his gentle words, Sun Woo’s eyes were persistently looking at me as if to devour me.

While my mind was hazy from Sun Woo’s words, a question arose from somewhere distant.

Hey, author? I think Sun Woo is a bit strange.

I spoke firmly to Sun Woo, who was making a bizarre request.

“I won’t cry.”

Why would I cry? It seemed clear he was teasing me about crying in front of him earlier. No, before that, didn’t he also mention a kiss?

I glanced sideways and saw Sun Woo smiling so widely his mouth drooped. Feeling goosebumps, I quickly turned my eyes back to the front. At that moment, Sun Woo’s breath was deeply exhaled near my ear. As I trembled finely at that ticklish sensation, his low, resonant voice faintly enveloped my ear.

“I can make you cry.”

I tried to ask what he meant, but I couldn’t get the words out because his lips overlapped mine. Sun Woo, who had lifted his body and removed his lips, was already on top of me, pressing down. Everything happened in an instant.

His overwhelming aura made me crazily thirsty. Desire boiled to the point I could understand Ha Jin going wild. As I stared at his lustful face with dazed eyes, that handsome face slowly descended and nibbled on my earlobe.

“Can you stay quiet?”

An unfamiliar sensation brushed down my lower back. Before I could feel disappointed that the dizzying sensation had disappeared, Sun Woo licked my ear again, causing a tingling current to run along my back.

Excessively lewd sounds were flowing out of my mouth, too obscene for a quiet room in a rural village. As I kept flinching and moaning, Sun Woo let out a soft laugh.

“It’ll be troublesome if you keep making noise.”

“Then don’t do it.”

“Don’t do it?”

I finally came to my senses and answered seriously, but Sun Woo asked back with a relaxed expression instead.

‘What the hell is going on now?’

We had kissed before, getting caught up in the mood, but this felt different. A loud alarm went off in my head.

“Don’t do it.”

I spoke seriously again.

“It wasn’t long ago that you asked me to kiss you first. Now you’re telling me not to? You seduced me first. Are you playing with me?”

Sun Woo interlaced his fingers with mine, brought them to the side of my face, and held them up. I tried to pull my hands out, but I couldn’t move as if I had been tied up.

Worried that noise would be heard in the quiet surroundings, I struggled passively under him, but I kept feeling something poking my stomach. What was it? I could feel that thing touching my stomach gradually hardening. At the same time, Sun Woo, who had been watching my struggle with a relaxed smile, suddenly stiffened his expression.

As if holding something back, his frowning face came closer and soon warned in a low voice.

“Ha Jin. Keep it down.”
