Yes, It’s Me. The Obsessive Side Top

#056

The ramen Sun Woo cooked for me was delicious. He even remembered to cook the egg without breaking it, and I was touched again by his thoughtfulness. 

‘Look. I have someone who will cook ramen for me too if I say I want to eat it!’

I shouted loudly inside, but it was obvious they couldn’t hear me anyway. I was sitting at the table watching Sun Woo clean up. Even if I say I’ll do it, he tells me to stay still because he’ll be surprised.

Far from being surprised, I’m fine with it… If I was surprised by anything, it was Sun Woo’s strength that easily subdued and gently pushed over a high school student of similar build.

In the webtoon, the difference in strength between Ha Jin and Sun Woo was similar. Of course, Ha Jin was a bit stronger. Well, even considering that the Sun Woo at that time seemed to have no motivation like he had seen everything in the world, and Ha Jin acted like a crazy dog. The basic level of strength wouldn’t be much different.

I suddenly became curious.

Ha Jin and Sun Woo. Who would be stronger between the two? If you’re curious, you can try it. Both characters are here, after all.

“Sun Woo.”

At my call, Sun Woo, who had finished cleaning up and sat across from me, raised his head towards me. He was using his hand to tear open a straw and insert it into a chocolate milk. How much has he had that he can find the straw hole and insert it well without looking?

It didn’t seem like Ha Jin would lose to Sun Woo who’s drinking chocolate milk. The student who picked a fight must have been weak.

“Wanna arm wrestle with me?”

“Why arm wrestling all of a sudden?”

“I think I might be stronger than you.”

“Are you serious?”

Sun Woo asked with a faint smile. When I nodded my head, Sun Woo smiled prettily.

“What’s the title?”

“Title?”

“It’s more fun to bet on something.”

Sun Woo suggests making a bet. Then suddenly my confidence plummeted. Honestly, I know that in the webtoon, Ha Jin is stronger. But that’s when Sun Woo wasn’t like he is now.

It was unpleasant, but I couldn’t take back the words I had spit out here.

“Yeah. Let’s bet. What should we bet on?”

I shouted with as much confidence as I could, but I was anxious. The Sun Woo I actually experienced was different from the webtoon, strong in every way, mentally and physically.

“Granting a wish for just today.”

“Just for today? The day has already almost passed? It’s evening now. Isn’t just today too short?”

“A day is enough.”

“…But Sun Woo, you talk as if you’re going to win?”

“I’m not confident.”

He says he’s not confident, but his expression was more confident than anyone.

“I just have to grant it for a day, right? Okay, let’s do it. Let’s try it.”

I pompously placed my arm on the table. I put my elbow on the table and reached out my hand to Sun Woo. Sun Woo also took my hand in the same posture as me.

“…”

The moment he grabbed my hand, I was struck with the feeling that I absolutely couldn’t win. His large hand with slightly bulging veins was holding my hand… How can even his hands be so handsome?

“Sun Woo. Don’t use your strength yet.”

I kept warning him out of anxiety. Sun Woo looked at me with a relaxed expression as if he found me ridiculous. Regardless of how he looked at me, that’s how it seemed to my eyes.

“St-art!”

Matching my call, we started exerting strength against each other. My face turned red as I used my strength, but Sun Woo’s arm didn’t tilt at all. Only I was grunting and using strength, while Sun Woo was just staying still without his face color changing one bit.

‘What? It’s not like he’s not using strength. Why is his expression so peaceful?’

As I was examining Sun Woo’s expression, suddenly a vein slightly bulged on his forehead and my hand met the table surface. I lost so simply that I couldn’t even speak.

“Huh?”

At my question mixed with a sigh, Sun Woo gently stroked the back of my right hand. As if that wasn’t enough, he raised my hand and blew on it, hoo hoo. As if blowing on an injured child saying “get better”, hoo.

“…”

Fuck? I lost? I lost to Sun Woo who used to be crushed under Ha Jin?

I couldn’t cleanly accept the result. Very disgracefully, the words “let’s do it again” came out of me.

“Do it again!”

Sun Woo grabbed my outstretched hand again with a smiling face. In the arm wrestling that started once more according to my call, Sun Woo immediately exerted strength and knocked me down. If there was a difference from the previous arm wrestling, it was that he exerted strength right away so it ended quickly, and his left hand was supporting the back of my hand so it wouldn’t directly hit the table.

I blankly stared at his hand that acted as a cushion.

“Ha Jin. Again?”

“…No.”

The first round, he went easy on me. As if he knew my inner thoughts of wanting to do it again, Sun Woo didn’t give any more room and immediately won. How could I say let’s do it again to that? He might have gone very easy on me even now. Unlike me whose face turned red from exerting strength, only a vein bulged on Sun Woo’s forehead.

“Haa, I lost. Sun Woo, say your wish. Tell me the wish I have to grant just for tonight.”

Sun Woo showed a pleased smile.

“You must be tired, so wash up first.”

“Is that your wish?”

“No.”

“The wish? There’s not much time left now.”

“I’ll tell you before we sleep.”

“?”

It’s a wish I’m granting for today, so why is he saying he’ll tell me before we sleep? I couldn’t understand right away, but Sun Woo wasn’t the type to say two different things, so I let it go for now. If he says so, then that’s how it is. Without further questioning, I went to wash up.

When I came out after washing, I saw Sun Woo already lying on the bed. He must have washed up too, as he was lightly shaking his not fully dry hair.

“Did you wash up?”

At my question, Sun Woo pointed to the guest room with a nod of his head. I see, he washed up in the guest room.

“Come here.”

Sun Woo called me over while sitting up with his upper body at the head of the bed. As I walked to the bed at his words, my heart was oddly pounding. Even though I’ve suggested sleeping together before. Friends can sleep in the same bed too, you know. I tried hard to ignore my pounding heart.

‘Wait. Do friends usually sleep in the same bed? When there’s another room?’

After sleeping with Sun Woo for a few days at Grandmother’s house, sleeping together became too natural.

Looking at the clock, it was past 10 o’clock. Time passes so quickly no matter what I do. When I got into bed and laid down, Sun Woo’s hand fiddled with my hair as I was lying down. Lying down and looking up at him, I asked.

“The wish?”

“It’s nothing much.”

“There’s only 2 hours left now. Don’t you have to say it quickly?”

“2 hours. That’s not lacking.”

“What the heck is it?”

I was racking my brain trying to think of a wish that wouldn’t be lacking in 2 hours, when Sun Woo’s hand fiddled with the nape of my neck. Exactly the mosquito bite spot he had sucked and bitten. As if searching for that faint trace now.

“Ha Jin.”

Sun Woo called my name again in an affectionate tone. Ah, I’m weak to Sun Woo calling my name like this. He probably won’t say an unreasonable wish, but I felt a bit of burden thinking ‘What is he trying to say by doing this?’

“Hm?”

“My wish is for you to not resist.”

“Resist?”

“Like not kicking me with your feet like last time.”

Sun Woo brought up what happened at Grandmother’s house.

“We said we wouldn’t do that at Grandmother’s house. So it’s okay here?”

“Wa-wait!”

I spit out urgently. What is this about now? So he’s going to do what he couldn’t do then again, and he’s telling me not to resist?

“Ha Jin.”

Sun Woo’s excited breath mixed in between my name. He moved his body to straddle me and lowered his head. Crazy! I thought we were going to spend time quietly.

Sun Woo’s eyes looking down at me while straddling me were deep, profound, and full of lust. Despite having such eyes, his face was upright and beautiful, drawing out my hidden desires. No, I shouldn’t feel lust here.

I quickly racked my brain. How can I quell this desire? Talking about studying is the best way to calm excitement after all.

“Sun Woo. Shall we study together in the 2nd semester too?”

“Yeah. Let’s do that.”

My study attack didn’t work either, as Sun Woo rubbed my earlobe with his fingers. When two of his fingers grabbed and rubbed my ear, it became hot as if lit by a match. It’s dangerous. At this rate, I felt like I would be bewitched and swayed by Sun Woo’s pace again.

“C-course registration is coming up soon too, right?”

“There’s still time left.”

Sun Woo was unaffected. One of his hands was already inside my clothes. Beads of sweat were forming on his neat face, perhaps due to the heat. Damn it. Even the beads of sweat are too sexy.

“Grandmother!”

Afraid of being mesmerized by his appearance, I unknowingly shouted Grandmother’s name loudly. Sun Woo, who hadn’t moved at all until now, stopped his actions for the first time.

“Grandmother. I need to contact her. She’ll be worried.”

“Haa… Ha Jin.”

Taking advantage of the opportunity, I slipped out from under him. Sun Woo was following me with his eyes. His gaze coldly followed me, but I smiled even more brightly for no reason.

“I’ll quickly contact her. I left without saying anything.”

“I contacted her saying I’m staying over today.”

“When?”

“When I left the hospital room.”

I see. I thought Sun Woo was doing this without considering the circumstances. Fortunately, Sun Woo stopped his actions and reached out his arm to me. Flinching at that, I curled up my body, and he just stroked my hair and pulled away.

“Where are you going?”

I asked urgently to Sun Woo who got up from the bed. It was an embarrassing question for me to ask when I was only thinking of escaping from his embrace. I was acting as if he couldn’t go anywhere when I was the one who ran away first.

“Going to wash with cold water and come back.”

“Didn’t you wash up?”

At my question, Sun Woo smiled faintly at me and went into the bathroom. Looking at his back, I tilted my head and opened my mouth.

“You have a lot of heat in your body, huh?”

* * *

The first thing I saw as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning was Sun Woo’s sleeping face. I would have believed it if someone said it was a sculpture stolen from a museum. Such beauty should be left as a national public property. It felt like a waste for me to be looking at it alone like this. I gently stroked his face so as not to wake him up.

“It’s soft.”

I traced his neat eyebrows with my finger. When I lightly touched his long eyelashes under his eyebrows with my finger, his eyelids furrowed. I held my breath and waited for his expression to relax, and when his face became peaceful again, I admired his face.

“To think Ha Jin is doing this next to Sun Woo.”

To be able to look at Sun Woo sleeping with a fine face so peacefully like this.

‘Ha Jin. How is it, are you happy?’

Why is Ha Jin clinging to his parents, longing for affection he can’t even receive? What is he expecting now from people who neglect even their young child? In the end, he only ate away at himself. That foolish guy.

I gently ran my finger down Sun Woo’s well-defined nose bridge. And when my finger touched his plump lips, a strange urge arose. I slowly brought my face closer and lightly touched my lips to his lips.

After stealing a kiss from him, I carefully hugged him. Then, as if in his sleep, Sun Woo wrapped his arms around me and pulled me towards him. With my head bowed and my face buried in his chest, I stayed still and heard his heartbeat.

Thump thump thump thump, the steady rhythm and warmth felt nice, so I stayed like that for a long time, and Sun Woo hugged me tighter with more strength in his arms. Sun Woo, who was stroking my back with his palm and patting me, rubbed his face in my hair, then firmly pressed his lips on my forehead and pulled away.

“Are you awake?”

When I asked him and raised my head, there was Sun Woo’s face smiling with half-open eyes.

“You got bitten by a mosquito properly.”

Sun Woo spoke while stroking the nape of my neck. It’s because he left a mark there again last night.

“It’s summer so I can’t even wear a turtleneck. How do you expect me to hide it…”

“The mark is very visible. It’s sexy.”

His finger gently stroked the mark and then licked it once with his tongue. I pulled my body back as a sign to stop.

“I’ll make it in a place that’s not visible now.”

Only a sigh came out at Sun Woo’s words. I just wish he wouldn’t think of making them at all…
