My Lover Ran Away

Episode 4

Taeyoung, who was happily swaying back and forth while hugging Seoyeon, exuded a boyish innocence.

He never held back when it came to expressing his love.

Whenever Taeyoung acted like this, Seoyeon felt as if her immature heart was growing stronger and more resilient, nourished by his love.

Having been abandoned at an orphanage as a child, Seoyeon had always been timid.

But to protect and care for her younger sibling, who had been left with her, she buried her inner pain and pretended everything was fine.

And when her sibling was adopted without her knowledge, she genuinely wished them happiness on their new path.

Yet, deep down, her heart ached with the emptiness of losing her only family.

But after meeting Taeyoung, she realized that such love existed in the world, and she was grateful to experience it.

Seoyeon hugged his waist tightly and confessed.

“You waited a long time, didn’t you? I missed you too.”

Taeyoung buried his nose in the nape of her neck, inhaling deeply. His warm breath sent pleasant shivers down her spine.

“I missed you so much that I started seeing hallucinations. Hmm, I feel alive now.”

“It’s not even midnight yet! Let’s hurry and go! I want to enjoy our anniversary, even if it’s just for a little while.”

“Enjoy it? How do you plan to enjoy it?”

He pulled away slightly, wearing a mischievous smile, and teased her.

“In a naughty way?”

“…”

As she hesitated, unsure how to respond, his finger brushed her lips. His touch, wiping away the smudged lipstick from their kiss, seemed to tremble slightly with excitement.

As soon as they entered Taeyoung’s officetel, their lips met again.

The sexual tension that had been building in his car erupted like a volcano the moment they stepped inside.

Their hands were busy stripping each other’s clothes, neither one leading nor following.

For their one-year anniversary, Seoyeon had prepared a pretty set of lingerie. The white lace set revealed her skin, making her even more alluring.

Even under the dim light, Taeyoung’s gaze as he looked at her in just her lingerie was scorching.

She shyly tried to cover herself with her arms, but it was no use.

“You’re too sexy. I want to devour you.”

With a rough exhale, Taeyoung captured her lips again. His hot lips and soft tongue slid over her body.

Her body, eager to cling to him, became hypersensitive with every touch of his breath and warm body heat.

“Taeyoung, haa… Let’s shower first…”

He exhaled sharply, his large body trembling as if he had no rationality left to stop himself. His predatory energy was palpable.

His heated desire pressed against her lower abdomen, burning hot, as intense as the look in his eyes.

“Let’s shower together.”

With his patience worn thin, Taeyoung picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.

He carefully set her down in the shower and turned on the water. The warm stream soaked his hair and broad back as it cascaded down.

Seoyeon watched him for a moment.

She hadn’t realized how sexy it could be to watch water droplets cascade down a man’s body. Mesmerized, she ran her fingers over his wet shoulders, then traced his trembling pectoral muscles.

He smiled, clearly enjoying her touch, and brought her hand to his lips, kissing each fingertip.

“I tried to hold back because I thought you might be tired.”

He guided her hand to his chest, letting her fingers press lightly against his skin.

“But you’re so cute and lovable that it’s hard for me to resist.”

Her hand trailed lower, over his well-defined abs. With just one finger, she traced an unknown path across his body, as if drawing on him.

Finally, her small hand came to rest on his burning desire, throbbing and alive under the warm water.

“…T-Taeyoung.”

“Hng, Seoyeon… Seoyeon-ah…”

Taeyoung gripped her hand tightly and began to move slowly. With his face buried in her neck, his muffled moans sent waves of excitement through her.

“Haa, it feels so good. Seoyeon.”

Though it was their one-year anniversary, they hadn’t been intimate many times.

That’s why showering together under the bright bathroom light, or even touching him like this, felt like a dream she never thought she’d experience.

His voice, hoarse and broken, was so sexy that she couldn’t think straight.

It felt like she was peeking into a secret, forbidden world of a man.

Seeing the usually composed Taeyoung lose control under her touch made her burn with desire.

“Hng.”

She bit her lip to stifle an involuntary moan.

But it was too late—he had already noticed, his eyes clouded with lust.

He pinned her against the wall, lifting one of her legs, and immediately lowered himself.

“Hng, Ta… Taeyoung. W-wait.”

Under the pouring water, Seoyeon trembled as she felt Taeyoung’s warm breath. The sensation of his hot, wet touch exploring her was overwhelming, her toes curling.

She didn’t know whether to push him away or beg for more, her body no longer feeling like her own.

“Haa, ha…”

Her fingers tangled in his wet hair as she trembled, unable to do anything but surrender.

Even the sensation of the water hitting her skin felt like an intense stimulation.

“Taeyoung! Haa…”

Finally, as a bright flash passed before her eyes, he lifted his large body.

Seoyeon opened her tightly shut eyes. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand, looking satisfied.

But she knew this wasn’t the end.

As Taeyoung pressed his body against hers, Seoyeon gripped his shoulders tightly, bracing herself.

“Relax, I’m so excited today that I might hurt you.”

Taeyoung’s body heat enveloped her, unfamiliar yet comforting.

The warmth of another person, something she had never felt before meeting Taeyoung, was even more precious because it came from someone she loved.

“It’s okay, if it’s you. I don’t care, as long as it’s you.”

Seoyeon caressed Taeyoung’s face with tearful eyes. If it was him, even pain would feel sweet. Nothing else mattered.

“Do you know how crazy you drive me sometimes?”

“…”

“Haa…”

“Hng.”

A pleasure greater than any pain washed over Seoyeon.

As her trembling body was filled, Taeyoung held her tightly.

“When I look into your innocent eyes, I want to devour you.”

“…”

“Sometimes I wonder if I’ve gone mad, thinking only of you.”

—

Seoyeon’s head bobbed forward and back.

Unable to stay awake, she dozed off, her adorable appearance making Taeyoung unable to hold back his laughter. He turned off the lukewarm hairdryer and set it down.

He hugged her from behind as she swayed forward.

Her damp hair clung to his skin, and the familiar scent of her body wash soothed his heart. He felt satisfied, as if he had marked her entirely with his scent.

Of course, what made him feel even more at ease was Seoyeon’s natural scent. The thought of waking up to her scent in the morning filled him with happiness.

“Mmm, I’m sleepy.”

Rubbing her heavy eyelids in his arms, Seoyeon looked like a small animal. She was so cute that he wanted to carry her around in his pocket.

He had never imagined he could feel this way about someone.
