String three; 부모님 (parents)

She was about to cook something when the doorbell rung. She walked to the door, checked on the screen who was the unexpected guest and smiled at the familiar face before welcoming them. "I thought we were just getting to know each other but we already seem like we're old friends. First you meet my parents, then you come to my house without telling me anything beforehand." She says, still letting him in and leading him to the living room.

"Friends?" He said with his famous pout as he sat on the couch. Nabi suppressed a chuckle at his reaction before sitting in front of him with an innocent look. She tilted her head, acting as she hasn't heard what he said but he just shook his head side to side, flashing her a smile. "Sorry for not telling you, though." He said, fidgeting at his slacks fabric. That's when she noticed his outfit. He had an oversized black suit on.

Usually, seeing his outfits through her phone, she'd keep on wondering how much the concerned outfit would look on her. But having Yunho wearing it right in front of her... she certainly felt different.

She gulped down a lump, flustered, as if she just realised it was Jeong Yunho was sitting in front of her. He recklessly brushed some black strands of hair off his face, not reflecting on the effect the small gesture could have on her at all.. "D-did you come straight after a schedule?" She internally cursed at herself for stuttering but played it cool.

The stutter made him look up at her face. He smiled at her flushed cheeks, assuming it was for him. He nodded with his smiley face before a thought pop in his mind. Did she really blush because of him? She wasn't at her office, she stuttered earlier, and now she's red...

"헉시... 어디 아프세요?" She squinted her eyes and shook her head side to side, hanging her head low, every single hint of confidence having seemingly left her body. "아니고 같은데. You're face is red. Do you have fever? Is that why you weren't at the office?"

"아니에요, 전 진짜 괜찮아요." She said, looking at him approach her.

He crouched in front of her, looking straight in her eyes. She could hear his breath from how close he was, even if there still was a reasonable gap between them. He placed the back of his large hand on her forehead, noting it indeed was warm, he sighed. As he was about to take his hand off her, he noticed her eyes were closed. She seemed to enjoy how his hand cooled her down. He smiled to himself before sliding his hand from her forehead to her right cheek, which was way more warm than her forehead. She opened her eyes at the contact, only to met his, already looking in hers.

"You really did make me act as in a cringey drama." He let out in a voice that seemed way deeper than she was used to. Flustered, her eyes fluttered for a couple of seconds. She stilled her gaze when she caught something : his eyes switching from her eyes to her lips. He slowly looked at her eyes again, sighing, before sitting on the couch next to her, a small space in between their bodies. "Do you..." He started making her look at him. He looked back at her before resuming. "Do you think of me as a friend?" She lowered her gaze, looking at his hands which were intertwined together laying on his lap.

She shook her head and let out a small 'no'. She remained silent for a few more seconds before she collects in herself enough strength to speak out. "이자나, 윤호씨, 반말 돼요. After all you're older than me."

He smiled and looked as he looked at her. He put his hand on hers, which was laying on the sofa, between their bodies. "Nabi-ah" being called like that by him for the first time made her heart pace up. She hesitantly looked at him, hardly looking at him in the eyes until he flashes her a smile. She felt all the tensions leave her body. Her lips parted as he looked at them. He looked back at her eyes, asking her permission, which she gave shortly.

He closed the gap between their lips and felt Nabi's small hand clutch under his large one. He shut his eyes, focusing on the feeling of his lips on hers and her tiny hand in his. After what felt like eternity, Yunho pulled out. His intention was to smile at her but her expressions had struck him. Before he could think of anything, she slowly grabbed his collar and leaned in, kissing him again.

He closed his eyes and moved his lips against hers before his hand slide from her hand to her waist, pulling her closer. She let out a quiet moan as he licked her bottom lips, asking for entrance. She gave in, sliding her hand from his collar to his nape, playing with the end of his hair.

Soon enough, they both pull out of the kiss and catch their breath. Yunho was the first to smile. He cupped her face and linked their forehead before saying in a calm breath. "I'm in love with you" (당신과 사랑에 봐젔어요.) her heart paced up again, she pulled out just enough to look at him straight in the eyes before she blushes hard again, diverting her gaze to her hand instead.

"C-can I kiss you one last time?"

Yunho had to focus really hard to control himself when she asked such a thing. "Of course you can." He said  pulling her on his lips, letting her kiss him all she wants until he feels her biting his lip. His breath hitched and he struggled to suppress his own moan and pulled out.

Afraid that she might've done something wrong, she panicked. "I— I'm so sorry I—".

Yunho smashed his lips on hers before leaving an open mouthed yet gentle bite on her neck and as she was about to moan, he pecked her lips, temples, cheeks and forehead. It made her take ahold back on her body and mind. Her cheeks were flushed. She's never been so close to anyone romantically, it felt unreal. As she was reflecting on how she could ask for a hug he spoke. "Talk to me casually too, 부탁할 게."

She nod as she slid both of her arms around his torso, laying both of her legs on top of his. "Is that okay, too?"

He smiled shyly and nod. He put a hand on her knees "Yes, it's okay." They shared a last kiss as he slid a hand behind her back, supporting her.

He caressed her back gently, caressed her knee with his thumb, soothing her as her head rested on his shoulder and he rested his head on hers. Nabi snuggled her face in his neck and play with his long fingers. She smiled reminiscing how she dreamed of such moments.

Yunho got her out of her daydream by intertwining their hands. He chuckled at how flustered she looked. She decided to play it cool. "Did you eat lunch?"

He nod, his signature pout on. "응. 너 아직 안먹었어?"

"응... 아직은" She said embarrassed.

"Then let's make you some good food." He said standing up, followed by her, patting her head.

Seeing how she smiled at the gesture he chuckled and bent down to take better look at her face. "People usually don't enjoy that."

"Oh? 그치, I noticed that. I don't get why though, I like it."

He smiled and pulled her in a bear hug. "That's all that matters"
