This World is too Cruel to Men – Chapter 292

Yoonseo’s Perspective

When did it become like this?

The sound of my heart pounding like a speaker was so loud.

It was so loud that if my heart were to burst, it wouldn’t even be surprising.

So… I wanted Dogun, who was sitting next to me, to hear that sound too.

I wanted him to know that it was all because of him that I felt this way.

Even amidst all this, the warmth transmitted through our intertwined hands was incredibly hot… I couldn’t gather my thoughts.

What should I do?

What can I do…?

I was bewildered.

I didn’t even know where to put my gaze, making it worse.

Naturally, I couldn’t look at Dogun, and keeping my eyes ahead was just as troublesome.

‘No…’

Just a moment ago, I had accepted it, but how long did those two plan to keep that up?

Surely, they weren’t thinking of filling the remaining runtime with just kiss scenes, were they?

I had to close my eyes tightly, unable to bear it any longer.

With my vision blocked, perhaps my hearing became more sensitive.

The sound of someone swallowing was especially loud.

That sound startled me back to my senses.

Of course, it made me realize something.

This wasn’t the time to be relaxed like this.

After all, this was a moment I had been eagerly awaiting.

But if I stayed embarrassed and flustered like this?

I might just miss it in the blink of an eye.

If that were the case, maybe I should…

Carefully, I opened my eyes.

And slowly turned my head to look at Dogun, who was sitting beside me.

At that moment, I successfully brought Dogun’s face into my view… and naturally, I realized.

This situation was just as embarrassing and awkward for him as it was for me.

As much as I was embarrassed, was Dogun also feeling the same way?

Before I knew it, Dogun’s neck was turning a reddish hue.

In that moment, while I was captivated by his gaze, Dogun’s throat moved up and down as if he was aware of my stare.

The only thought that crossed my mind was one.

‘I want to touch it…’

I wondered if it was hot over there too?

What would it feel like?

In an instant, my curiosity filled my mind, and my body reacted before I could think.

A shiver traveled from my fingertips.

When I snapped back to reality, I found my hand had somehow come to rest on Dogun’s neck.

And maybe it was because of my action that he appeared flustered.

“W-What is it…?”

Dogun asked in a fumbling voice, his face brimming with confusion.

And just like that… our eyes met.

At the same time, seeing Dogun’s eyes slightly quivering, I thought to myself.

What’s quivering right now, his or mine?

My heart felt like it might explode.

So… I suddenly became curious.

Could it be… Dogun felt like this too?

I wanted to know.

Gradually, I began to close the distance that was already sufficiently close.

And… Dogun didn’t shy away from my approach.

Slowly, Dogun’s lips came closer.

The sound of his throat swallowing came one more time when there was finally nothing left in my sight but Dogun’s lips.

With every breath I took, a refreshing scent that I could only smell from Dogun flowed into my nostrils.

And amidst it all, a dry scent typical of winter naturally seeped into the mix.

It was oddly addictive.

So just as I thought I didn’t want to part…

‘…?’

Dogun, who had been leaning against the wall, suddenly leaned forward—

‘…!’

Something soft yet slightly rough, and immensely hot, landed gently on my lips.

In a reflex, I flinched and trembled, and at that moment, something slowly reached out and tapped my lips.

It felt as if it was carefully asking if it could come inside.

When I slightly parted my closed lips, something soft and wet pushed its way in, as if it had been waiting.

Once inside, it started moving slowly as if it were teaching me how to do this.

So, following suit, amidst the pounding of my heart, a sticky and moist sound started to blend into the atmosphere.

Dogun’s Perspective

How on earth do I even begin to express this feeling?

The kiss with Yoonseo had given me a mix of sensations that were all tangled up.

Starting with the shame of being here with Yoonseo, whom I had known since childhood, to the strange fulfillment of coloring something pure in my own way.

Amidst all those emotions swirling around inside me, the one I was most concerned about was—Yoonseo’s reaction.

Of course, this was likely Yoonseo’s first kiss, and if that was the case, I wanted her to keep a positively vibrant image of it.

That’s why I moved my tongue carefully and slowly.

What surprised me was Yoonseo’s response.

I had expected her to be all tense, unsure of what to do.

That kind of behavior didn’t last long, as if to prove that she had changed.

However, unlike what I predicted, her movements were actively responding to me, though they were awkward.

Especially since she hadn’t taken a breath since the kiss started, it seemed she had no idea when to do so.

I peeked at her flushed face through barely opened eyes and pulled back slightly to give her some space.

Just as I did, a clear thread stretched between us.

And in that same moment, from her slightly parted lips came—

“Hah, hhuuh, ha…♡”

It was a sound that seemed like all the pent-up air came bursting out at once.

Maybe she was still lost in those feelings.

With her eyes tightly closed, Yoonseo’s face was now flushed a different shade than before.

After recovering for a brief moment, she cautiously opened her eyes.

And those eyes of hers… looked hazy and were staring directly at me.

It was as if she… was expecting something from me.

Along with that, I heard a sound that was either mine or Yoonseo’s; a delicate sound of swallowing.

Listening to that that flowed naturally into my ears, I asked Yoonseo, who was still gazing at me.

“Want to do it again…?”

“Onc—one more time…?”

“…You don’t want to?”

“Ah, no…! I-I mean…”

She couldn’t finish her sentence, and instead, her cheeks reddened as if to shout that she would never say no.

“Then… Shall we?”

“…Uh-huh.”

Even though it was already our second time, it seemed she couldn’t shake off her nervousness.

Hearing my suggestion, Yoonseo flinched for a moment, tightening her eyes and body.

Then, just like that, she parted her lips that seemed more moist than usual, almost as if challenging me to come closer, and I barely restrained a laugh as I leaned in for another kiss.

The second time felt quite different from the first.

How should I describe it? Maybe… fresher?

And since anything new is the hardest, perhaps Yoonseo’s anxiety lessened a bit since it was our second time.

As if regretting that she had been too tense to move properly before, Yoonseo began to show a more active demeanor than the first.

“Hah, umm…♡”

And perhaps that was the turning point where she got hooked on the act of kissing.

Before I knew it, Yoonseo was holding my shirt tightly, frantically moving her tongue, and finally pulled back after what felt like too short a time.

“But she didn’t seem satisfied with just two times.

Immediately, a voice demanding a third washed over me.

“One more time, just one more…”

“One more time…”

“Just one more…”
