Chapter 311 – The Way of Love (8)
Next day.
Smart tock-
Raising her head at the sound of a knock, she looked at the doorway, but did not feel her presence.
She cautiously left the room and found a nest of boxes in the doorway.
Without thinking, Seo-joon had left it.
Audrey looked at the nest of boxes, took it and went into the professor’s office.
The rice I ate alone was not as good as I thought.
Even though the taste wouldn’t be different -.
“`
That lasted a few days
Every single day, Seo-joon left work with a stack of boxes in front of the professor’s office.
There were several days when she was so busy with work that she could not pack the boxes.
On days like that, he removed the cold boxes and put them in new ones.
Every time Audrey had a meal- I came to think of Seo-joon.
And one day-, feeling a presence at her doorway, she went to the doorway without thinking and slammed the door open.
“… Ah, Professor.”
“…”
Seo-joon was putting down the nest of boxes.
He smiled lightly and held out her chest of drawers to her.
Audrey accepted it and licked her lips.
In the end, no words came out.
Seo-joon turned around behind her and walked down the hallway.
She stood in the doorway and watched the elevator for a long time until it stopped and went down.
“`
The autumn wind intensified.
The sky was high and very blue. It was an afternoon when the sun was particularly late.
I saw dragonflies flying around.
The staff left one by one- Audrey walked around the professor’s office.
All day, I couldn’t concentrate on my studies.
I was confused.
Today – I thought I should go home. Somehow it felt like it had to be. So, as I was about to pack my things and leave, I heard the sound of shoes in the hallway.
Audrey was taken aback and put her pack down again.
Then, without realizing it, I touched my hair and straightened my clothes.
The sound of footsteps stopped at the door. Audrey hurriedly opened the door.
In front of him-, as expected, Seo-joon was standing.
“Professor. You were there.”
“···Yes.”
Audrey spoke for the first time in days.
It was only a small answer, but Seo-joon smiled lightly, as if he was satisfied with even that.
Then he put a box of drawers in her arms.
As she accepted, he turned her around.
Scared to turn around, she screamed.
“Go, together…!”
“···Yes?”
Seojun turned his head again.
Audrey pursed his lips.
I could feel his face and the nape of his neck turn red. The Volga was hot.
A voice leaked out on its own.
“Would you like to eat together…?”
Unable to look at his face, my eyes were fixed on the floor.
Seojun did not answer for a long time.
No, he didn’t answer. When I glanced up at him, I saw that he had a very surprised expression on his face.
When her eyes met him, he answered.
“···If you’re okay-.”
Seojun entered the professor’s office.
He took out a couple of boxes. The air was awkward.
Seojun’s fingertips seemed to be trembling.
His cheeks were slightly red, and he awkwardly took out a spoon- and placed it in front of her.
Seo-joon’s spoon was not there.
“Because I didn’t think we would be eating together.”
Saying that, Seo-joon laughed.
That smile – one I’ve seen a few times, even from her husband. It was the smile of the moment she first fell in love with her.
I could feel what he was feeling even if he didn’t say it.
Very blatantly.
Audrey made fun of the spoon even though she knew it shouldn’t be like this.
She put one in her own mouth and returned the spoon to him.
He grabbed her spoon, took a bite from her, and returned it back to her.
Repeated it
My eyes went to the spoon. His lips, and what hers touched, went in and out of each other’s mouths over and over again.
His saliva and her saliva left the cutlery glistening.
Seojun, whether he knew it or not, broke the seasoning on the spoon and sucked it loudly.
At such times, Audrey’s shoulders trembled.
“`
Next day
Seo-joon stood holding a nest of boxes.
This time – there was only one spoon.
Audrey didn’t ask why. Seo-joon also didn’t make excuses for not bringing it.
The two of them took out a nest of boxes and ate.
Not a single word was spoken.
He played with a spoon in silence and munched her lips.
The meal was very rich and slow.
Even after the sun went down, the meal was over after a long time.
Seo-joon got up from his seat with a look of regret.
After he left, the empty room felt very cold.
“`
And again the next day.
Again the next day.
Again the next day.
Seo-joon continued to visit with nests of boxes.
As the sun went down, Audrey steadfastly tried to suppress her increasingly restless mind.
I couldn’t get my mind off of it. At some point, I couldn’t understand myself waiting for him.
The guilt of her husband, the comfort of being with Seo-Jun, fought in her heart with a spear knife.
A scratch formed on the inside of her chest. The scars grew bigger day by day.
In the end, Audrey returned to the mansion as soon as the sun went down.
I didn’t want to run into him. Somehow – it seemed like it shouldn’t be.
It was only ten days.
“`
“Ah, you! Came?”
Her husband welcomed her very warmly.
At the news of her return, all of her singers were out.
So far, I’ve been neglecting them a lot – I thought.
After exchanging greetings with each other, they entered the mansion.
“Are you hungry? Shall we start with a meal?”
At his husband’s question—Audrey nodded.
When I went to the dinner table, Seo-jun and his daughter were there as well. Seo-joon was the only one who wasn’t there.
그가 어디있느냐고 구태여 묻지는 않았다. 아마 마탑에 있지 않을까- 싶었다.
그녀가 저택으로 돌아온 것도 모르고-, 그녀의 교수실 앞에서 서성이고 있지 않을까.
그런 생각을 하니 미안해졌다. I should have said something…
“이거- 당신이 좋아하는 메로 구이에요.”
남편이 옅게 웃으며 그녀의 그릇에 메로를 올려놓았다.
She was well browned. The scent of yuzu was quite good. She glanced at the cook and met her eyes, and she smiled softly before putting the spoon into her mouth.
It was delicious.
It seemed that the family head had returned to her mansion after a long absence, and she seemed to have used up some energy. The meal was satisfactory.
Even until the meal was over- Seo-joon did not come back.
She was frustrated
I don’t think it’s still waiting in front of the professor’s office. No matter how many times she knocked, if there was no answer, she would assume that she had returned to the mansion. She thought she would be back soon.
The husband took Audrey’s hand and led her into the bedroom.
오늘 따라 유독 흥분한 것 같았다. 바지춤이 묘하게 불룩한 게 보였다.
오랜만이라서 그런 걸까···.
If it was the same as usual, I would have welcomed it – it felt awkward for some reason. 그래도 애써 웃었다.
Scared to enter the bedroom- her husband took off her clothes one by one.
Then she kisses her lips. The protruding lower body pricked her belly button.
Startled, as she pulled her back, her husband’s snort grew harsher.
“자, 잠시만 샤워 부터···.”
“Let’s just do it. Huh?”
Her husband felt a little strange.
He grabbed her by the wrist and laid her on the bed.
침대보가 서늘했다.
It was dark outside the window, and only one lamp was lit. The husband- opened the lamp, hook- blew it out.
실내가 완전히 어두워졌다. 팔등에 소름이 돋아났다. It was a bit cold.
The husband stretched out his hand in the dark. His hands caressed her breasts, and a hard erection came to her cunt.
“Audrey…”
귓가에 대고 그녀의 이름을 부른다. 그리곤 자지를 쑤셔 넣었다.
Awesome-
It hurt. 아직 젖지 않은 탓이었다.
그녀가 신음을 흘렸는데도 신경쓰이지 않는 건지, 아니면 흥분해서 알아차리지 못한 건지- 남편은 짐승처럼 허리를 흔들었다.
그날 밤과 조금도 다르지 않았다.
남편의 얼굴은 보이지 않았다.
I couldn’t even see the eyes that whispered love.
He just breathed heavily against the nape of her neck and shook her waist. Like a dog. Like a beast
After a while, he gasped for breath before stiffening his body again.
I felt lukewarm liquid pouring inside.
It’s cheap… 남편이 풀썩- 쓰러졌다.
He took a deep breath and brushed her hair.
“보고싶었어, 오드리···.”
Audrey licked his lips—and answered with a labored laugh.
“Me too···.”
남편의 숨소리가 점점 조용해졌다.
Audrey rubbed her husband’s back gently. As soon as he seemed to be asleep – his hand stopped on its own.
속으로 숫자를 셌다.
One two three four···.
딱 백까지 센 그녀는, 남편의 숨소리가 완전히 가라앉은 걸 확인하곤 조심스럽게 자리에서 일어났다.
I could feel the semen pouring out from the bottom.
Audrey groped his hand in the dark—put on a slip and draped a shawl over his shoulders. He slipped into his slippers and left the room.
Ik-Ik- I held my breath at the sound of the door-, and carefully closed the door.
I took a look around. I walked slowly along the long hallway, holding the lantern hanging in front of the door.
She didn’t know why she was going there, or why she was heading so cautiously like a bitch thief in the middle of the night.
Just walked My heart is pounding. Step by step-. I walked and arrived in front of the door.
Big-
Clearing her throat, she straightened her hair.
He even knocked on the door.
Smart tock-
There was no sense of popularity from inside.
“Sir, Seojun…?”
She tried calling his name again and again, but no answer came back from her.
No way-.
Audrey opened his mouth.
Audrey donned a thick coat, changed into his shoes, and hurried on.
Seeing her run away holding a lantern in the middle of the night- the servants looked surprised one by one, but she couldn’t see them.
I left the mansion and ran down the street. Eyes were on him from all sides, but he didn’t care.
Hee-hee-!
“That’s it, you crazy bitch…! Don’t look straight ahead…!”
She almost collided with a carriage in the middle.
Rolling a mess on her floor, she straightened her disheveled coat and hurried her steps again. Her ankles were sore, but she was able to walk.
That’s how she arrived at the Mage’s Tower. Her female employee who was looking at her front desk covered her mouth as if she was surprised to see her.
Audrey tried hard not to see it, took her entrance plaque from her front desk, put it on her elevator, and pulled the handle on her twelfth floor.
The elevator goes up with a clicking sound.
The pace was too slow. She stomped her feet, muttering “Quickly” Over and over again.
1 second felt like 1 minute.
A rattle – the elevator reached the twelfth floor – and the door opened.
Audrey ran down a long hallway—to a place that looked out onto her own professor’s office.
In front of him, Seojun stood obliquely.
He was leaning against the window and looking out the window.
There was a nest of boxes in his hand. It was long after the sun had gone, and he had been waiting for the dawn to come.
“Fool···!”
Audrey screamed like that without even realizing it.
Seojun looked back.
Our eyes met.
Audrey let go of her hand. She ran so fast that she had to catch her breath for a long time because her breath was short of breath.
Seo-joon approached.
One step, two steps.
Audrey knew he shouldn’t be like this – but he didn’t back down. She didn’t even ask him to stop.
He continued to approach—and before he knew it, he stopped in front of her. It was within reach of his outstretched hand.
Seojun reached out her hand and squeezed her hand.
He stared at the scars left by the fall when he was almost run over by the carriage.
“This, this. Therefore···.”
Seo-joon pulled her wrist and licked the scratch on her palm with his tongue.
Oops-
Dirty grains of sand—drops of blood oozing out were washed away by his saliva.
With the nape of his neck reddened, Audrey put his toes together and waited until Seo-jun licked off his grains of sand.
It felt like my heart had moved into the palm of his hand. Her face seemed about to burst.
Seojun took out a handkerchief from the front shelf. And then – wrapped it around her hand.
“Meal···. Did you?”
Seojun asked.
“···No.”
Audrey shook her head.
