Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love

A few days ago, after drinking with Harim and Jang Yujin, there was something that kept bothering me.

It was Han-gyeol’s rapid weight loss...

it must be because of me, right?

But I love it when Han-gyeol touches my body, and I’m so happy when we passionately embrace.

Of course, Han-gyeol seems to love it too, but I’m worried it might lead to health problems.

Everything in excess is harmful...

I carefully brought my laptop to the living room while Han-gyeol was asleep at dawn.

Sitting on the dark living room sofa, I opened my laptop and started searching online.

Scrolling through various searches, it said that twice was appropriate.

“Huh? That’s pretty normal.”

What a relief.

It seemed like Han-gyeol’s weight loss wasn’t solely due to our relationship.

Just as I was about to turn off the laptop, I misread a headline.

I opened my eyes wide and re-read the headline.

- Couples in their 20s say having sex twice a week is appropriate...

“A week...?!”

It said twice a week was appropriate...!

Then what about us who do it twice a day...?!

Well, except during my period, so is it okay?

No, it means we’re doing it seven times more than average...

Recently, Han-gyeol and I have been doing it every morning and evening…

Although Han-gyeol wanted it, I wanted it more…

The skinship with Han-gyeol feels incredibly good.

I can truly feel the love in every action.

The consideration and care for me?

Something indescribable fills my heart immensely.

But I should probably control myself a bit more from now on.

Is there anything else?

“Eun-ha...? What are you doing, not sleeping?”

“Kyaa-!”

Startled by Han-gyeol’s sudden appearance, I hurriedly closed the laptop screen and fell off the sofa.

“S-sorry! Did I scare you?!”

“Didn’t you sleep, Han-gyeol?”

“No... I woke up. Anyway, get up.”

“Ouch... my butt hurts...!”

“What were you doing alone at dawn...?”

“I-I just couldn’t sleep! Go back to bed...!”

“Okay. I just came to drink some water. Now, get up.”

Han-gyeol helped me up and drank a cup of water in the kitchen.

Looking closely, it seemed like he did lose some weight…

I decided to exercise some self-control from now on.

“Eun-ha, are you going to stay up a bit longer? Need help with anything?”

“Huh?! No, no. Let’s go back to bed~”

I lay down on the bed again with Han-gyeol.

“Eun-ha.”

“Yeah, what is it?”

“I just woke up at dawn and felt happy seeing you.”

Han-gyeol kept saying things that made my heart flutter.

That’s why I keep wanting to do it…

I want more love... I want him more…

What should I do... I want to be loved again.

Unconsciously, I placed my hand on Han-gyeol’s cheek.

Come to think of it, it always felt like this.

Our deep relationship began with Han-gyeol’s words that made my heart flutter and me covering his lips with mine.

If I endure just this, I could let Han-gyeol sleep peacefully tonight.

“I like you too. Let’s sleep.”

“Yeah. Goodnight, Eun-ha. See you later.” 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

“Yeah. See you in the morning~”

Han-gyeol’s eyes closed first.

He must be really tired these days, falling asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

I can’t do this.

I can’t overwork the person I love, so I decided to hold back a bit.

When he wakes up, I’ll make sure to take good care of him.

But since I held back from kissing, holding hands while sleeping should be okay, right...?

Gently holding Han-gyeol’s hand, I slowly closed my eyes too.

Yeah.

Fiery, passionate moments are great, but I also love these calm, warm moments.

I decided to be content with simply being connected with the person I love.

Still, I want to connect even more deeply.

***

Just as I thought at dawn, I made Han-gyeol a healthy meal.

After thoroughly cleaning a chicken, I made a nourishing soup with various medicinal herbs.

It was my first time following this recipe, but it turned out to be quite tasty.

The internet really does know everything.

“Han-gyeol, come eat!”

“Wow~ You can make this too?”

“I heard you’ve been losing weight lately, so I made this to help you feel better~”

“Thanks~ I’ll eat well.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Han-gyeol started devouring the soup happily.

Just watching him eat makes me so happy.

“Han-gyeol.”

“Yes?”

“I love you~”

“I love you too. You should eat too, Eun-ha.”

“I just want to watch you eat a bit more~ You look so good eating.”

“Everything you make is delicious.”

“What should we do today?”

“Hmm? I’m going to Yujin’s house for a bit at lunchtime today. Didn’t I tell you?”

“Oh, was that today? My bad. When will you be back home?”

“I’ll be back before dinner.”

“Okay, got it.”

After eating the soup, Han-gyeol did the dishes.

Seeing him getting ready to go out made me feel a bit sad.

It was the first time we’d be apart since we started living together.

But, if we’re going to college, we need to get used to this kind of time apart.

Is there really no way to stay together every day?

“Okay, Eun-ha. I’m off~”

“Okay, be careful!”

“Should I bring something delicious when I come back?”

“Get whatever you want~ just a lot of it.”

“Alright, alright~ I’m really going now.”

“Okay~ have a good time~”

As soon as Han-gyeol left, I turned around and looked at the house.

Hmm- the house feels a bit empty without Han-gyeol.

Maybe because we’ve been together so much lately, the emptiness hit me harder.

I thought about taking a nap, but I wasn’t really sleepy.

“Maybe I should clean?”

I got out of bed, vacuumed, and wiped down the floors.

I sorted the recycling and did the laundry, but only an hour and a half had passed.

If I’d known it would be like this, I would have cleaned slowly instead of rushing.

“Hmmm... what should I do now? Maybe watch a movie.”

I sat on the living room sofa and turned on a movie.

I picked one that I’d heard of before, but it just didn’t catch my interest.

After the beginning of the movie passed without grabbing my attention, I opened my laptop.

However, since I don’t really use the internet much, I quickly closed it again.

Throwing myself onto the bed, I stared at a picture of Han-gyeol on my phone.

No matter how I look at him, Han-gyeol is incredibly handsome.

When he’s expressionless, he looks like a silent bear, and when he smiles brightly, he resembles a big puppy.

He’s such an attractive boyfriend.

Kind, gentle, cool, and even mature.

Just looking at him naturally brings a smile to my face.

“Ha- I want to touch Han-gyeol. And be touched by him.”

Bored even with my phone, I stared at the white ceiling.

In school, I only studied and didn’t have any particular hobbies.

“Maybe I should find something to do when Han-gyeol’s not here...”

In the end, I decided to take a nap with my eyes closed.

Even though I wasn’t very sleepy, napping seemed like the fastest way to pass the time until Han-gyeol returned.

‘Sleep. Sleep. Sleep…’

“Agh-”

I eventually gave up and opened my eyes without falling asleep.

I pondered what to do and then something suddenly came to mind.

“Aaaah-! Han-gyeol’s birthday!”

Come to think of it, my birthday is next week, and the week after that is Han-gyeol’s birthday!

I quickly got out of bed, turned on my laptop again, and started searching.

Gift for boyfriend.

Birthday gift for boyfriend.

Best birthday gifts for boyfriends.

Top gifts boyfriends want from girlfriends.

I almost faced Han-gyeol’s birthday without any preparation.

What should I get him? I gave him a wallet for Christmas, so that’s out.

What would be good? First, I checked my bank account.

Hmm. Good.

I still had quite a bit of money saved from working under my mom.

I couldn’t touch my living expenses, so I decided to use this money for Han-gyeol’s gift.

While scrolling through various options, I found something interesting.

“Perfume...?”

With that, I could cuddle up to Han-gyeol every day and smell him...!

It would be nice if he wore the perfume I gifted him, even when I wasn’t around.

Nothing is as stimulating as a scent.

A watch... would have been nice, but I didn’t have enough money for that.

So, I decided on perfume as Han-gyeol’s gift... but it felt like I was only giving him something materialistic.

I wanted to do something more personal, as his girlfriend, along with the gift.

“A birthday meal? That’s a given, so skip~”

Lying on the sofa, I started looking up things I could do for Han-gyeol.

Just the thought of doing something for Han-gyeol made my boredom vanish completely.

“Hmmm~ What would Han-gyeol like~?”
