The Season I Loved You Without You - Chapter 97 - Slight R19

CHAPTER 97

Eun-jae met Go-yeo for the first time in a while. Surprised by the news that Go-yeo and Ga-eul were meeting again, she tried hard not to show her excitement. Eun-jae was trying on clothes selected by Go-yeo at the boutique. With her teaching practicum approaching, Go-yeo had personally chosen formal outfits for her. From dresses to blouses, skirts, and pants, Eun-jae tried on several outfits, feeling surprisingly delighted by the situation.

Standing in front of the mirror, wearing an ivory frill blouse and black slacks, Eun-jae felt like a real adult. She looked at herself in the mirror and then at Go-yeo, who was organizing clothes beside her. Even the shawl draped loosely over Go-yeo’s shoulders looked elegant and beautiful, filling Eun-jae with a sense of awe. As she gazed at Go-yeo’s long eyelashes casting shadows on her lowered eyes, their eyes met.

“How is it? Do you like it?”

“Yes! A lot.”

Go-yeo chuckled at Eun-jae’s cheerful response. Eun-jae knew now that this small laugh was Go-yeo’s way of holding back a big smile. Playfully, she grinned at Go-yeo like a child seeking attention.

When Go-yeo went to pick out other clothes, Eun-jae looked at herself in the mirror, turning this way and that. Through the mirror, she saw Ga-eul sitting on the sofa, not even glancing at her but following Go-yeo around like he wanted to remember every moment. Eun-jae turned her gaze away, making a bored expression.

Just then, an employee called for the boss, and Go-yeo turned her head to see Yoon Seung-hyun. Surprised, Go-yeo approached him. Seung-hyun apologized for coming without an appointment and asked for a suit recommendation. Go-yeo, smiling lightly, accompanied him to the second floor.

Ga-eul watched the man talking and laughing with Go-yeo. He recognized the man immediately.

‘He’s someone I had a date with. Honestly, I considered giving it a try, but after meeting you, I politely declined.’

While Ga-eul trusted Go-yeo, he couldn’t trust any man who set his eyes on her. His heart wanted to run to Go-yeo, hug her, and protect her from the man’s gaze, proclaiming who he was with confidence. However, he knew better than to act irrationally toward a customer, so he stayed put, swallowing his discomfort.

Several minutes later, Go-yeo returned from the second floor with the man, smiling and chatting. Ga-eul took in every detail: her hair falling naturally, the way she nodded and smiled slightly. After the man left and Go-yeo talked briefly with an employee, she came back to Ga-eul and Eun-jae.

“Did you wait long? Eun-jae must be hungry. Shall we go eat?”

Eun-jae looked at Ga-eul and decided it was time to excuse herself.

“Oh, what should I do? I suddenly have plans with friends in Seoul, so I need to leave urgently…”

“Really? Then come again next time. Let’s have something delicious.”

“Yes, I’ll wear the clothes you picked out for me. They’re so pretty.”

Go-yeo tilted her head at the sudden awkwardness. After Eun-jae left, Go-yeo looked at Ga-eul. Noticing something strange in his behavior as well, she furrowed her brows.

Thinking about why Ga-eul might be acting this way, Go-yeo suddenly laughed, realizing the reason. She grabbed his hand and led him to her office. Despite his pouty lips showing his displeasure, he followed her obediently, looking rather cute.

Ga-eul looked around her office, which hadn’t changed much since he last saw it, except for a torso mannequin draped with clothes next to the desk. He glanced at it briefly, finding it unsurprising given her profession. Go-yeo, smiling at him, led him to the full-length mirror in her office. She made a gesture to wait and removed a suit jacket from the mannequin.

Handing it to him, Ga-eul, though puzzled, put it on as instructed. Go-yeo adjusted it here and there with pins, pleased that it fit better than expected, despite being made by eye.

“What is this?”

“A gift.”

Ga-eul looked at her questioningly, his eyes widening as he understood.

“…No way.”

“It’s been a long time since I made one. I’m not a tailor, so it’s not perfect. But I picked the design, fabric, and buttons myself, with some help.”

Taking advantage of Ga-eul’s momentary daze, Go-yeo took off the jacket, hung it back on the mannequin, and hugged him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“…It’s almost our first anniversary, babe.”

She whispered the last part so softly it was barely audible, but Ga-eul, miraculously understanding, smiled widely and kissed her. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he leaned down, deepening the kiss with a touch of their tongues. The lazy movements of their tongues entwining made Ga-eul feel like he was stirring her other senses, his breath quickening. Go-yeo, too, let out a faint moan, their breaths mingling.

They continued kissing while leaning against the desk. Ga-eul supported himself on the desk, and Go-yeo clung to his neck. As he stroked her soft inner thigh under her skirt, Ga-eul accepted his desire for her. He wanted to have her right there if she allowed.

Ga-eul, breaking the kiss, looked at her with a pleading gaze. Go-yeo, feeling the heavy pressure from his thigh, was grateful she had locked the office door. Smiling seductively, she slowly reached under her skirt, taking off her black lace panties, enjoying the sight of Ga-eul’s eyes widening in anticipation.

Ga-eul put her underwear in his pants pocket as he unbuckled his belt. The tip was already glistening with his fl*ids. She, too, spread her legs, ready to receive Ga-eul’s presence. Ga-eul rubbed the entrance under her skirt with his body. He could feel his breath quickening with excitement.

“Ha….”  

Ga-eul tilted his head back and let out a low moan. Like a thirsty deer seeking water, he urgently kissed Go-yeo, penetrating her narrow, hot entrance. Ga-eul furrowed his brows, trying hard to hold back his release. He grabbed Go-yeo’s hips and moved his waist. The sound of the buckle hitting the desk echoed loudly.

Reacting to Go-yeo’s clinging movements, he moved more vigorously. Ga-eul didn’t stop his thrusting, swallowing Go-yeo’s moans. The friction caused a blush to rise on her tender flesh. With one final thrust, he spilled his essence inside her.

Caressing Go-yeo’s face as she lay on the desk, he planted kisses all over her. He looked at her panting figure with the utmost affection.

“I didn’t think you would remember.”  

“Don’t be silly.”  

“I wanted to celebrate our first year first.”  

Ga-eul laughed softly and kissed her again.  

“Thank you, babe. I thought I’d only be able to call you that in our next life….”  

“Do you think you’ll meet me in the next life too?”  

Go-yeo, pleased but asking again, smiled. Ga-eul nodded as if it were obvious.  

“It would be nice if we could be born as friends or know each other from childhood.”  

Go-yeo, understanding his feelings, nodded slightly.  

“Then should I recognize you first?”  

“I would love that.”  

Go-yeo, smiling happily, kissed Ga-eul again. Feeling him respond under her again, Go-yeo laughed out loud. Despite the uncomfortable location, she didn’t mind. She embraced Yoon Ga-eul once more.

After several releases, her insides were filled with his essence. As Ga-eul pulled back, a cloudy substance flowed from her blocked entrance.

“Ah… it keeps coming out….”  

Ga-eul, now embarrassed, used his soft handkerchief to block it. Go-yeo laughed at his expression, finding it quite amusing how his ears suddenly turned red.

“How can you block it? You need to wipe it. Give me the handkerchief.”  

Instead of giving Go-yeo the handkerchief, Ga-eul took her hand and wiped between her spread thighs. As Go-yeo stood up, a large amount of s*men gushed out of her narrow entrance. Ga-eul knelt on one knee, carefully cleaning the spillage between her legs, and then helped her put on the panties from his pocket.

It was a grand start to their first-anniversary celebration.

* * *

Go-yeo was sitting under the oak tree, wearing a wide-brimmed hat. She had come to the arboretum with Ji-yeon’s family for the first time in a long while. The arboretum was ablaze with autumn foliage, vibrant with maples and ginkgo trees, and cosmos and yellow wild chrysanthemums were in full bloom. The most beautiful sight there was Ga-eul and Ro-woon on the lawn. Ro-woon was giggling, fully absorbed in catching the soap bubbles Ga-eul was blowing.

Ji-yeon and Hae-joon also laughed as they watched along with Go-yeo. When Ro-woon called out to Hae-joon, he laughed and ran over to join him.

Ji-yeon glanced at Go-yeo’s left hand. On her ring finger was a simple gold ring, something Go-yeo seemed unlikely to wear for life. When Ji-yeon first saw the ring and asked about it, Go-yeo hesitated before saying it was a couple ring with Ga-eul. It was a basic item from a fairly famous jewelry brand that Ga-eul had prepared. Ji-yeon thought the power of love was amazing.

“Who gave you that? You’re wearing it everywhere, huh?”  

At Ji-yeon’s teasing words, Go-yeo shrugged.  

“You were struggling so much in that wonderful France, acting like you were about to die, but here you’re thriving like a fish in water?”  

Go-yeo didn’t flinch at Ji-yeon’s teasing.  

“It can’t be helped.”  

“You’re unbelievable. Now stop crying, okay?”  

A gentle breeze blew under the clear autumn sky. Go-yeo nodded silently, brushing her hair back.  

“…Thank you, sister.”  

Ji-yeon, feeling awkward, replied gruffly.  

“For what?”  

“For everything.”  

“I should be thanking you. Let’s stay together for life. And have a second child soon. I hope it’s a girl so we can pair her with Ro-woon.”  

Ji-yeon laughed along with Go-yeo, who smiled faintly.

Ji-yeon called out to the three people in the distance. Ro-woon, smiling, was the first to run over. They ate the picnic lunch Sumi had prepared at the spot they had set up in advance.

While Ro-woon took a nap, Go-yeo and Ga-eul held hands and strolled around the arboretum. Go-yeo picked a small, red wildflower from the roadside and tucked it behind Ga-eul’s ear.  

“It looks pretty.”  

Ga-eul smiled and placed a gentle kiss on the back of Go-yeo’s hand. They walked past a wall of camellias that had not yet bloomed and headed toward the magnolia trees. Go-yeo noticed that even without flowers, the tree seemed full of life. Ga-eul, also gazing at the tree, then looked at Go-yeo.

“Could you go over there for a moment? I have something to say.”  

“Just say it here.”  

Ga-eul, looking a bit shy, shook his head. Go-yeo reluctantly moved away. As she distanced herself, Ga-eul cleared his throat. He felt oddly tense and stiff.

“This is not my first visit, but it is my first time greeting you. I am Yoon Ga-eul. As you know, I am currently dating Go-yeo. I don’t know if I will be to your liking, but I am doing my best to love Go-yeo. I will do everything I can to ensure Go-yeo is not hurt and can be happy in the future. Please always watch over us.”

Ga-eul smiled broadly, showing his dimples, wanting to make a good impression. Feeling like he should do more, he fidgeted with his hands and stood still for a moment.

Just then, a white autumn butterfly that had been flitting among the cosmos flowers flew near the magnolia tree. The butterfly fluttered around Ga-eul’s shoulder.

It was a sunny autumn day.
