Chapter: 0.146: The first kiss

Ten minutes had passed since that "moment" had occurred... the incident that Rena didn't even want to think about. Ten minutes since she'd found herself, with all her pride, with all her reserve, frozen as Jin's hand touched a place it wasn't supposed to touch.

Not like that.

not now.

It's not that simple. 

She sat at one end of the karaoke room, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes watching Jin warily, as if she expected him to drop another f-bomb at any moment.

And it did not disappoint, as usual.

"By the way your tits are so soft they're perfect big can i lick them" 

"That's what I said," Jin said, pretending he was talking about a glass table, not his wife's chest.

Rena gasped and screamed, "Jin!"

Her face was the color of ripe apples, and her golden eyes glowed as if they were burning from within.

"You are a hopeless person."

She said it between her teeth, while trying to hide the deep confusion behind the usual wall of anger.

"Oh, Rena, Rena..."

Jin leaned forward, sarcastically as ever.

"If you want some fun, just say the word... open your heart, for example."

He smiled. "You said 'your heart,' didn't you?"

Rena grabbed the first thing in front of her—a pillow this time—and threw it at him.

He dodged it. Easily. Like he practiced it every morning.

"Just tell me..."

Jin continued, his voice calm but his eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Is it lace? Silk? The color? No, no, don't tell. Let me be surprised later."

Rena started throwing everything she could get her hands on at him—pillows, tissues, even one of the small plastic chairs.

Then I stopped. I came closer.

She grabbed the collar of his black shirt and brought her face close to his, her anger nearly setting the place on fire.

"Why do you always... ruin the moment? Why can't you just shut up for five minutes?"

Jin, as if enjoying this more than anything else, gently took her hand, lifting her chin with his fingertips.

Come closer.

His face slowly approached hers, as if the entire universe had condensed itself into the space between her nose and his.

Rena, despite everything, despite her mind screaming, "He'll withdraw as usual," found herself closing her eyes... waiting for the ridicule. Waiting for the withdrawal.

But he kissed her.

A soft, short, but terrifyingly honest kiss.

When she opened her eyes, she couldn't even speak. Her heart was beating so hard that she felt like she'd cry if she spoke.

"thus..."

"It would have been a nice day," said Jin, with a crooked smile.

But she didn't answer him. Not even verbally.

She pushed Jane toward the couch and straddled him—not out of control, but out of a desire to silence him in a way he could understand.

"Shut up."

She said it in a low voice, holding his face with both hands and kissing him.

And kiss her.

This time, passionately. No jokes. No comment.

His fingers ran over her back, gently, with a suspicious respect unlike his own, as if he were trying to say something profound without speaking. And what about us? Her fingers were touching his shirt, unbuttoning it one by one, as if challenging herself.

And when she uncovered his white chest, polished like porcelain, she couldn't help but whisper:

"Are you made of magic?"

"maybe."

He whispered, his hands still steady, as if he was afraid of messing something up.

"Let me see..."

She said, leaning towards his chest.

kiss.

Then a light bite on his shoulder.

Then a soft touch of her lips, leaving its mark there, as if she wanted to say: *This place is mine.*

His skin tasted strange, as if the moon itself had left its mark on his skin. A mixture of strawberry... and the unspeakable.

But she moved away.

She looked at him, her wide eyes saying it all.

desire.

shyness.

Fear.

And confidence.

"Jin.."

She whispered.

"If you make fun of me now, I'll kill you."

He answered her with a smile she had never seen before. It wasn't sarcastic. It wasn't malicious.

It was rare.

"I'm not kidding."

He said, and raised his hand, to pass it over her cheek, gently.

"I'm just... trying to learn how to be serious with you."
