Checkmate

If Hyunwoo had showered me with forehead kisses just now, what expression would I have made?

I don't know. At the very least, it definitely wouldn't have been a normal one.

Despite being disappointed in Hyunwoo for being so clueless, my heart had been pounding while I was in his arms, kissing him on the cheek.

It wasn't a torrent of emotions I'd never experienced before.

I often felt this way when Hyunwoo showed how dependable he was or did something for me.

But since we were outside, it felt more significant. I thought about it more deeply, and it hit me harder.

"...Want to do it now? As a thank-you."

Even so, I fell silent after hearing what Hyunwoo really meant when he said he was relieved.

Because I didn't want to dismiss it as something to be relieved about.

Hyunwoo seemed to get swept up in the moment easily and leave it just as easily, but I was different. I was the sort who easily got lost in my own feelings...
