・・・・・
The room was larger than Gaeul had expected.
She assumed they would have chosen the smallest room to split the cost. The night before, he had asked for 150,000 won as if doing her a favour, and she had prepared that amount. Indeed, it was a room deserving of such generosity. The room on the 30th floor offered a city view overlooking downtown Seoul, with a separate living room and bedroom.
Gaeul quickly took out her phone and contacted Juhee.
「It's room 3006. This place is really nice. The guy is handsome too. He said he's big down there as well.」
The view count disappeared immediately.
「Wow. You're so used to your brother's face that you don't often say a guy is handsome.」
「Compared to this guy, Lee Gajun is dull. And he's not even that handsome.」
「Ha, it's a waste of breath to say more. Anyway, if the face is good, that’s already a pass. When it comes to size, people often lie about that, so check it out for yourself before we discuss it again.」
「That could be true. But I don't think he was lying. He's really tall too.」
As Gaeul expected, Seo Dohyun was very tall. Standing next to him, he seemed to easily surpass 180 cm, likely in the mid-190s — an incredibly tall figure. It was difficult to make eye contact with him, which made her regret wearing flat shoes.
Standing close to him, she caught a faint whiff of his cologne. It was a bergamot scent blended with woody notes. It reminded her of a fragrance she had encountered at a perfume brand store run by a senior from her club. What was the name of that scent again...
「Are you in the room right now?」
The new message broke her train of thought.
「Yes.」
「And the guy?」
「He went to wash up first.」
「Send me some pictures of the room.」
At Juhee's suggestion, Gaeul excitedly began to explore the room. To respect his privacy, she made sure to avoid capturing his belongings and instead focused on photographing the view from the window and the overall layout of the space.
Traces of Seo Dohyun were evident throughout the room. It seemed he had arrived early and organised things; the closet was neatly arranged with a suit jacket and some spare clothes, while a tablet PC and a document envelope rested on the table. A quick glance at the envelope revealed a familiar company name.
"Seoil Electronics?"
That was where Lee Gajun worked.
She briefly thought of her family member who was home alone. He probably believed that Gaeul was just at Juhee’s house to hang out. Come to think of it, Lee Gajun hadn't been at his new job for long, so he barely had any close colleagues, and Seoil Electronics was such a large company that it had many employees. Therefore, the chances of Gajun having any connection with Dohyun were extremely low. It was a moment when she felt grateful for having used a pseudonym.
"Seoul is small. I need to be careful."
This time, she checked the bedroom area.
This area appeared almost untouched and tidy. Since it was a room intended for a one-night stand, it seemed the bedroom had remained undisturbed until her arrival.
Without a second thought, she opened the drawer of the bedside table.
“...”
Her lips parted, following her eyes that widened half a beat later.
"How many of these are there?"
The drawer was stocked with a variety of condoms: ultra-thin, textured, and an assortment of fruit-flavoured ones such as chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, apple, cherry, banana, and peach, as well as a pizza-scented condom. Among them, the ultra-thin variety even came in a box of ten.
"He seems really promiscuous. Should I run away now?"
"Run away?"
Startled by the voice coming from behind her, Gaeul turned around.
Seo Dohyun stood there in a bathrobe, drying his hair with a towel. His black hair fell naturally over his forehead, tousled and slightly messy. The outline of his well-defined chest muscles was clearly visible through the gaping robe. His calves and thigh muscles, which could be seen at a glance, were also impressive. His skin was fair, and his physique resembled that of an athlete.
When her response was delayed, the gaze of his slightly raised eyes became sharper.
"...What are all these condoms?"
"Oh, that."
Dohyun's gaze turned toward the bedside table next to the bed.
“A friend stopped by earlier today and put those in. Why, are they expired?”
"Oh, no. There are just too many."
Seo Dohyun approached her. She stood awkwardly as he came up behind her. As he got nearer, she could feel the warm, damp air and the clean scent of soap coming from him.
As Dohyun noticed the contents of the drawer, his brow furrowed.
"That crazy bastard."
His low voice resonated in her ear.
She subtly turned her head to see his expression, and it seemed that his words were sincere. His tightly clenched jaw and prominent Adam's apple filled her view, along with his wet black hair, which had droplets hanging from it. Plop. A droplet that had been dangling from the tip of his hair fell onto the bridge of her nose.
"I thought exactly that."
"What is this? Pizza scent?"
Seo Dohyun picked up a pizza-scented condom from the drawer, his eyebrow arching sharply. The design of the box looked just like a pizza box.
"I've never seen anything like this before."
“This is a first for me too. I've never used one with a scent before.”
Gaeul's face suddenly flushed red with embarrassment as she quietly stared at the condom.
"If you put this on and then take it off, will it have the same scent?"
Dohyun curved the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Why? Do you want to suck my cock too?"
"I think that would be too overwhelming of a task for a beginner."
He tossed the condom back into the drawer.
"I won't ask you to do that, so just go wash up."
"Okay."
She hurriedly headed toward the living room but turned back to add:
"But could you give me that pizza-scented one?"
"Why’s that?"
"Because the packaging is so cute."
"Feel free to take the leftovers."
"Thank you."
"Don't wear any underwear when you come out."
As Gaeul's eyes widened while looking at Dohyun, he continued speaking with an unfazed expression.
"There's no point in wearing it if you're just going to take it off anyway."
It made sense, but she had put a lot of thought into choosing the underwear, so she felt a bit deflated.
Well, since she wasn’t planning to date that guy and it was just a one-night stand, it probably didn’t matter much.
"Got it. Make sure you're ready to start right away too."
"Sure."
Dohyun smirked and gestured for her to go.
She quickly headed to the bathroom.
・・・・・
After Gaeul disappeared, Dohyun, who had been sitting on the bed and chuckling quietly to himself, suddenly wore a puzzled expression, his face stiffening in confusion.
'Why am I grinning to myself like a fool?'
He raised his eyebrows in confusion and rummaged through the box of condoms in the drawer. As Gaeul suggested, he thought it was wise to prepare before she came out. The drawer stuffed with condoms was overwhelming to the point of absurdity. He had never encountered such a diverse selection of condoms before, so it was no surprise that a woman experiencing this for the first time would be astonished. He randomly grabbed the ultra-thin condoms and tore open the box.
Although he had come here just to feign meeting a woman, he never imagined there would actually come a day when he would use these. Every Friday, he would book a room to pretend to meet someone. Whenever Seonwoo said, “Right. Just in case, I’ve put condoms on the bedside table. Have a good time,” he was too lazy to respond properly and just brushed it off. After all, it was typical of that quiet weirdo to do something like this and then never say a word about it.
He booked a room every Friday, and since the aim was to at least pretend to meet women, he had stashed a box of condoms in his bag just in case. If Gaeul hadn't opened the drawer, he might have passed through this whole scheme without realising it. Normally, he would have felt annoyed at Seonwoo for teasing him, but the image of Gaeul, excitedly wanting to take condoms as if they were travel souvenirs, brightened his mood.
"Ha, this is driving me crazy."
Dohyun looked at his erection through his robe and let out a heated breath.
Thanks to that, he wouldn’t have to struggle to get it up. Even after jerking off once in the shower, it showed no signs of subsiding. He gripped his hard erection with his hand and stroked it. Clear pre-cum flowed from the urethra, coating the tip and shaft.
Dohyun, in his early twenties, stood out as the only sane person among his peers, who were consumed by their obsession with sex. He found it incomprehensible how some pathetic guys let themselves be ruled by a body part slightly longer than a palm. Some were so crazy about sex even with something as small as a finger, but for him, sex was merely a dull sport. Even if he would wake up with an erection each morning, he never encountered a woman he found attractive. Instead of engaging with a woman, he preferred to spend that time working out.
But why had this happened all of a sudden? Could it be that the pent-up frustration that had been building up inside him had finally burst forth? He even felt a bit disappointed when she said she wouldn't suck his cock. He wondered what her face would look like if he pressed his cock against those lips and thrust it into her mouth.
At that moment, the image of Gaeul pouting her lips in frustration in the lounge flashed through his mind. His hard cock throbbed even more.
"No matter how I look at it, it seems like we've met before."
Her face seemed familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time, making it perplexing. Maybe it was the heavy makeup, but the difference between before and after makeup couldn't be that significant.
Did he have a preference for cute woman? As he was thinking that, he suddenly made a puzzled expression. Cute? A woman who approached him for a one-night stand wearing heavy makeup, which wasn’t his taste, wearing a floral one-piece dress, which also wasn’t his taste?
That couldn't be true. It appeared that he hadn’t had sex in such a long time that his desires had built up to this extent.
"The guy she was supposed to meet on the app is probably fuming by now.”
Dohyun smirked.
The chat history was quite a spectacle. Although the woman appeared oblivious, the nuances in the other person's tone clearly indicated he was nothing more than a perverted individual searching for someone with no sexual experience.
“What, you don’t like me because I’ve had a boyfriend before? Well, I find you repulsive too, you crazy bastard. Go ahead and book an expensive room and spend the rest of your life jerking off alone. You deserve to have the partner you painstakingly found stolen right in front of you.”
It matched what the woman from last week said when she stormed off angrily. The man seemed to dislike the fact that his date wasn't a virgin and made up an excuse.
Dohyeon decided to intercept Gaeul midway and turned off the chat room notifications with ‘Windmill.’ No matter how much the man tried to contact her, she likely wouldn't receive his messages tonight.
According to that woman’s curse, 'Windmill's' date was stolen by him. Perhaps the reason he was getting aroused for her was because of that curse. They said that a woman's curse could even bring frost in the middle of summer, so a curse causing arousal wouldn’t be far-fetched. Without such supernatural forces, even he couldn't explain this situation.
Anyway, to him, she was merely a one-night stand. The fact that it was her first time did bother him somewhat, but she seemed indifferent about her partner, and he wasn't the type to place much significance on experience or lack thereof. So, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"This situation has likely reached my grandfather's ears by now."
Both Lee Gaeul and Seo Dohyun achieved their goals through this one-night stand.
・・・・・
After fully drying her hair, Gaeul checked her face one last time before stepping out of the bathroom.
Not knowing how much to wash, she followed his lead and washed her hair too. But since she had lied about her age, she couldn’t bring herself to remove her makeup. She washed carefully to avoid getting her face wet, but it looked like some of the makeup around the edges might have come off.
She opened the door and peeked her head out.
"Excuse me, I'm about to come out. Could you turn off the lights first? I’d appreciate it if you could leave the bedside lamp on in the bedroom.”
"You sure ask for a lot."
Soon, the living room lights went out. Despite his grumbling, he had been surprisingly accommodating — turning off the lights as she asked and answering her questions without resistance.
She shuffled across the living room in her slippers and headed toward the bedroom. Dohyun was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and between his legs, his penis was pitching a tent as if it was about to burst through the robe.
Dohyun looked up at Gaeul. Embarrassed, she fidgeted with her well-dried long hair that draped over her chest and met his gaze.
"I'm ready."
"What?"
"I'm hard. Can't you see?"
He pointed between his legs. Impressively, it was clearly visible, suggesting its size was anything but ordinary. Gaeul swallowed nervously.
"Come here."
She slowly approached him. Somehow, the fact that they were both wearing the same type of robe made her feel strangely excited. On his body, it looked a bit small, but on her, it was as big as a summer blanket. Dohyun stood up and cupped her face with his palm.
"Why is your makeup still on?"
"I didn't bring any cleanser."
Her heart was pounding loudly. At this rate, it felt like he might even hear her pulse. Although the shower had helped ease the buzz from the alcohol a bit, she still wasn’t entirely sober, and for some reason, the tension wouldn’t go away.
Huu... Just as she took a deep breath, his face drew closer.
"Wait a moment."
Dohyun stopped just before their lips met.
"What now?"
He answered, furrowing his brow.
"My first kiss will be with someone I'm dating."
"Kiss?"
"You were about to kiss me just now."
Ah. He let out a sigh and looked at Gaeul’s lips with an unreadable expression.
"...That’s right."
He continued speaking without taking his eyes off her lips.
"You've never kissed anyone before?"
"Yes."
"Then what have you been doing?"
"I studied."
"You've wasted your life."
Pik. He let out a sound like a deflating balloon and laughed. He had a handsome face, no matter how she looked. Without realising it, Gaeul found herself smiling along with him.
She hesitantly added.
"Still, we have to make some progress... It’s okay to do it elsewhere.”
As if he had been waiting, his lips changed direction and moved towards Gaeul’s nape.
Peck. As his lips briefly touched and then pulled away, her small body shivered slightly. Gaeul exhaled slowly. The sensation in that tiny spot where their lips met was so intense as if every cell in her body was concentrated there.
"Sure, why not."
