Despite Dahyun saying that it's all okay, I still couldn't help but feel a bit rotten inside.
Now don't get me wrong.
I was very grateful and thankful that she took it really well and didn't go ballistic on me, but I had this inkling feeling that I wasn't 100% completely off the hook.
After breakfast, we packed our bags and checked out of the hostel, giving our thanks to the staff for the very good treatment that we both received.
Of course, I had to quietly slide it some extra money to bribe them to keep their mouths shut because it was pretty obvious that some of them knew who Dahyun was.
Soon after, we were on our way back to Seoul.
An hour later, my phone rang.
I noticed that it was a familiar number, but one that I didn't want Dahyun to know at the moment.
I mentally smacked myself for completely forgetting that they were going to call today.
Last night's confession made me forget all about it.
"Yes?" I answered the call, keeping my phone very close to my ear.
Yeah, I know, driving while on the phone.
Aish.
"Mr. Lee?" the person on the other line, "The puppies are all ready. Do you want them to be delivered or will you pick them up?"
I exhaled.
Oh, what the heck. Screw the timing.
"I'll pick them up. I'll swing by later right before lunchtime. Will that be okay?"
"That would be perfect," he replied, "Thank you, Mr. Lee. I'll have an assistant on standby to meet you when you arrive."
"What was that all about?" Dahyun asked as I hung up, "Do you have some work to do, Oppa?"
"No," I shook my head, trying to stay calm, "I, um, kinda have something prepared and the shop just called to inform me that it's ready."
"And care to tell me what exactly did you prepare?"
+++
Dahyun shrieked the moment she saw the puppies.
There were five of them, each in their little cage.
"Oppa! These dogs are soooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttteeeeeeeeee!!!" she was so giddy with excitement and happiness, "Are you serious about getting all of these?"
"I know Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, and Tzuyu were all begging me to allow them to have pets in the dorm," I scratched my head as the assistant loaded the cages into the car.
She stopped and looked at me, "Seriously? You're getting these puppies for them?"
I nodded, "Um... yeah..."
She then gave me a big hug, literally jumping at me, "Awwww... Oppa! That's so sweet of you," I almost suffocated from her tight embrace, before finally releasing me, "But wait, Oppa... there's five puppies... so who's got the fifth one?"
I pointed at the white one that was the last to be loaded, acting all sheepish and shy, "Oh that one? He's yours. I know you want to get one too." Her eyes went wide.
She stood there frozen for a half a second as my words sunk in.
She shrieked once again, and once again locked me in her embrace, "Oppa! Thank you so much!" She was literally hugging me so tightly that I couldn't breathe almost immediately.
She was already hugging the cute little white and fluffy puppy with the cute little black eyes and cute little black nose, "I'm going to name you 'Prince Fluffy'!"
I scrunched up my face a bit, "'Prince Fluffy'? What kind of a name is that?"
"Yah, Oppa," she retorted, "You said that he's mine, so I'm gonna name him the way I want to," and then putting on a scary look straight at me, "Besides, you're not yet off the hook, Y/N. No amount of gifts or whatever is going to make me forgive you 100% just yet."
I cringed, deciding to keep my mouth shut and just focus on driving.
Come to think of it, the puppies were surprisingly quiet in the car.
"But these puppies must have cost a lot, Oppa," she said.
Man, seriously, Dahyun can be so bi-polar sometimes.
"It's okay," I replied, "Seriously. No big deal." But to be honest, it did cost me some.
But my bonus from the Japan Tour and the Seoul kickoff concert helped a lot to cover most of the price for the puppies.
Dahyun then leaned over to my side, lightly kissing my cheek, "Thank you, Oppa."
"You're welcome, Dubu," I smiled.
+++
The reason why I decided to pick up those puppies now was that as far as I can remember, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, and Tzuyu are in the dorm at the moment, although I didn't know why they were there.
Yep, even during their vacation time, I was still keeping tabs on them.
Predictably, they were all over me when Dahyun and I brought the puppies up to the dorm.
Tzuyu was stuttering a lot as she received her puppy, which she promptly named "Kaya".
Nayeon named hers "Kookeu", while Jeongyeon had "Nanan", and Momo had "Boo".
Within minutes, they were all taking pictures and selcas with their dogs and uploading them in their Instagram and Twitter accounts.
"Ah chincha, Oppa, thank you so much!" Nayeon was practically a kid again, looking so giddy playing with Kookeu.
"Just promise me that you'll take good care of them yourselves and not end up relying on me," I replied.
"Oh, we promise we'll take good care of our pets very well, Y/N Oppa," Tzuyu nodded, hugging Kaya as tightly as she could, "Thank you so much, Oppa!"
"Your timing is just perfect, Oppa," Jeongyeon added, "We're all just here chilling after our own travels, figure we get some of stuff, and then you show up and give us these wonderful puppies!"
"So, how's your vacation, Oppa?" Momo suddenly decided to change the subject, "Did you two have a lovely time?"
"We did," Dahyun enthusiastically replied, jumping the gun on me, "Y/N Oppa took me to this wonderful town and we had such a great time..." She then barrelled off about our time in the beach and in the hiking trail for a couple of minutes.
"Awww... I'm so jealous!" Tzuyu whined, "Maybe next time we have a vacation, all nine of us plus Y/N Oppa should go together."
"That's a great idea, Tzuyu," Jeongyeon agreed, "Then we can have loads and loads of fun."
"And maybe we can take Sana and Chae's boyfriends with us," Nayeon teased, "Just so that all of our members' boyfriends can interact with each other as well."
I actually shuddered at that thought for two reasons.
One, I'm gonna be intimidated for sure around Sana and Chae's boyfriend.
And two, it'll be a nightmare trying to keep such a big group under wraps, most especially if those two tag along.
I can get away with being with the girls on vacation because I was their manager anyway.
But for Sana and Chae's boyfriends to tag along, and then somebody sees them with the girls, that will be a nightmare.
"I don't think it's a good idea for now, Unnie," Momo replied, "I'm sure Y/N Oppa will have a hard time explaining to our fans why Sana and Chae's boyfriends are with us. Even Chaeyoung and Sana are keeping it all a secret." Thank God Momo read my mind.
We kept on chatting and just hanging around for a couple more hours before all of them had to go elsewhere.
Nayeon was taking her mom for some beauty treatment around Seoul, Tzuyu had a couple of semester-end stuff to take care of, and Jeongyeon and Momo was off to see some friends whom they haven't seen in a long time.
Dahyun, on the other hand, opted to stay and rest in the dorm after that admittedly exhausting two days.
"Why don't you just stay with your lovely boyfriend?" Nayeon teased as she was preparing to leave the dorm with her new puppy, "You'll be lonely tonight here. Besides, he's just across the hall."
"I'm actually planning to," Dahyun replied, stroking Prince Fluffy's fur.
"I'll be back right after I drive Nayeon and Tzuyu to their destinations," I said.
Momo was going along with Jeongyeon, who had her own car parked in the basement.
"Okay, Oppa," my Dubu replied, "You take care." I noticed a slight twinkle in her eye that didn't really looked right.
+++
I was back in the dorm a little over an hour later.
I had Dahyun stay over my place as like Nayeon suggested.
Prince Fluffy was scampering all over the living area, cutely going about here and there.
"He's just so cute!" Dahyun cheerfully exclaimed, wrapping her arm around mine and leaning her head on my shoulder.
After a few minutes of watching him run around, I gave Dahyun another back hug, enveloping her in my arms as tightly as I could and burying my face in her hair.
I was still feeling bad about the whole thing with Ciara, well, probably because I really couldn't tell anyone about it aside from her and Jenny Sunbae.
Whatever the reason, I started crying again.
I didn't care if it was stupid or just plain nonsense.
I just didn't want to do anything, not even in the slightest, that would hurt my girlfriend in any way.
I had enough of heartaches and heartbreaks to hate even the smallest possibility of causing the same to the people that I love, now most especially Dahyun.
"Y/N Oppa..." she softly said.
I really didn't know why I was acting that way and I really didn't know what to say, "I'm so sorry..." I sobbed through my tears.
After a few minutes, I heard and felt her sigh, breaking free of my hug.
Turning around, she held my hands, delicately intertwining her fingers around mine.
"Why can't I stay mad at you?" she smiled, "Y/N Oppa..."
She then drew me closer for a kiss.
I felt her ever so gently working her lips onto mine, her tongue just peeking through and touching the tip of mine.
After a few minutes, she broke our kiss and embraced me.
I immediately felt her heartbeat, pumping against my own.
"I forgive you, Oppa," she quietly whispered, tightening her embrace, "Just promise me that you'd sort things out with Ciara Unnie, okay?"
"I promise," I replied, finally calming down, "I don't know how, but I promise..."
We just stood there for quite a time.
I never realized until now how much comforting this was, just being in the arms of that one person who mattered the most.
Her hug was just so satisfyingly reassuring of everything about our relationship.
"I love you, Y/N Oppa," Dahyun said, sighing once more, "I just wish I can stay in your arms like this forever... I just want you to always cover my heart... Just like this..."
"I love you too, Dubu," I replied.
"You know something?" she suddenly asked.
"What's that?"
She leaned back at bit to look at me, "I love it when you give me that back hug," she smiled, "Can you do that again?"
I grinned, "Okay..."
She turned around and I gave her a back hug once again.
I rested my chin on her left shoulder as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"I should write down all of these feelings that I am having right now when you're back hugging me like this," Dahyun said, "Maybe we can use it for a future song."
"Back hug," I chuckled, "It has a nice ring into it."
After a while, feeling a bit tired from all the standing up, we sat on the sofa.
She sat on my lap, her back against my chest and her head against my right shoulder.
And for some reason, despite the fact that her butt was firmly on my groin, I wasn't feeling horny at all, well, at least for that moment.
"I didn't realize how broad your shoulders have become, Oppa," she said, "Feels nice."
"You're comfy?" I asked, savoring the fact that our faces were just inches away from each other.
She nodded, "Yes I am..." and then surprised me with her next response, "Let's do it, Oppa. Just this position."
"You sure?" I asked, my heart suddenly skipping a beat and my dick suddenly growing in attention.
She replied by crashing her lips against mine, kissing me significantly more torridly than the last one.
Taking that as a yes, my hands worked their way down to her pants, unbuckling her belt and undoing her fly.
Seconds later, I slid her pants down to her honey thighs, exposing her baby pink panties.
I then worked a little bit to slide my pants and boxers down to my knees, freeing my half erect cock from its confines.
Feeling my hardness, Dahyun lifted her butt up for a moment, completely taking off her pants and panties.
With her legs on either side of my lower body, she lowered herself onto me.
My cock, now rock hard, slowly penetrated her pussy, inch by wonderful inch.
"Aaaahhhh... Oppa... so good..." she moaned, throwing her head back against my shoulder as my throbbing member slid home deep inside her vagina.
I wrapped my arms once again around her waist as I started thrusting upward, jerking and pumping my hips against her firm butt, "Ugh, Dubu... ahhh... so warm," I grunted, enjoying the warm and wet tightness of her inner walls squishing against my dick.
After five minutes of slow and steady humping, I increased the pace, slightly rocking the sofa as I continued fucking my beautiful Dubu.
The sounds of our skins slapping and the feeling of her cunt getting wetter and wetter around my length becoming more pervasive, and the fact that we were both naked only from the waist down, made us both obviously hornier.
"Ahhh... Oppa... you're... still... getting... bigger... inside me... aaaahhhh..." she moaned loudly, "Your cock... so nice..." She tried to grind her butt in tandem with my thrusting into her now sopping wet love hole.
I sensed her orgasm building another twenty minutes later.
Her cunt walls tightened around my pumping penis, making me piston her faster and harder.
Our breaths were getting shorter and our moans and groans were getting louder.
Come to think of it, I was also about to hit my climax as well.
"Ahhh... Dubu, I'm close..." I grunted, feeling my rod getting more and more swollen.
"Me too, Y/N Oppa..." she breathed, "Let's cum together... Fill... my... ah... hungry pussy..."
Another couple of minutes of hard and fast fucking, and we both hit our peak.
Screaming and squealing out loud, Dahyun climaxed a few seconds before me.
Her pussy squeezed tightly around my cock, before quickly expanding, releasing her juices in a violent torrent spurting out of whatever space was there in her love hole.
That drove me over the edge as well, actually feeling my semen forcing its way through my dick.
I erupted as violently as well, shooting a huge and steady steak of cum deep into her womb.
That actually caused a second orgasm for Dahyun in quick succession.
Her body shook and convulsed, making her scream more as we both filled her pussy with our cum.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Opppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Dahyun cried as our orgasms completely overwhelmed her, thrashing and shaking almost uncontrollably on top of me.
I rammed my dick as deeply as I could, still spurting more and more spunk into her a full minute into our climax, completely emptying my balls.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
We both squirmed, thrashed, convulsed, shook, and whatnot, experiencing our most intense and violent orgasm so far.
Copious amounts of our mixed cum dribbled out from our hot connection, down her inner thighs and onto the seat of the sofa.
In what seemed like an eternity, we finally relaxed.
Dahyun literally collapsed on top of me, panting hard.
I was also feeling drained and spent, finding it hard to catch my breath as my heart hammered hard against my chest.
As I slowly regained my focus, I felt my dick soften just a bit, but still firmly inside her dripping wet cunt.
It took several more minutes before she was able to speak, "Y/N Oppa...?"
"Yes, Babe?" I was still panting hard myself.
"After all that, you're still hard inside me..."
"Just stay still, Babe," I whispered, feeling my cock slowly standing at attention once again.
I was honestly surprised myself that I still have some energy.
She squirmed a bit as my member throbbed to its full size against her inner walls, "So big and hard... feels so good..."
As soon as I felt more of my strength returning, I slowly humped her once again, leisurely thrusting my dick into her messy cunt.
Our mixed cum was more than enough lubrication to make it easier for us to resume our fucking.
All this time, I never let go of my back hug on her.
Dahyun moaned and whimpered, obviously still basking in the afterglow of her orgasm.
Her mind was completely overwhelmed at this point with lust that she surrendered everything to me.
It was only a matter of time before the sloppy sounds of our flesh squishing against each other became louder and louder.
We continued having sex in that same position for another two hours.
By the time we were done, both of our lower bodies were almost numb.
My dick was swollen and hurting a bit while her pussy was all messy and swollen as well.
And that was just before dinner.
We spent the rest of our time afterwards on my bed, fucking the night away.
