Prey (Lee Seohan) - Chapter 190

The Caribbean Sea was beautiful, but this place felt like a paradise on earth, completely cut off from the rest of the world.

To the extent that even the vague fear of the sea, ingrained from childhood memories of the Gangneung shore, was no longer felt.

Suhyeon stood on the outdoor deck, her gaze completely captivated by the pristine emerald sea, when Jeonghan turned her around.

“…Ah.”

As Suhyeon turned, the brilliant blue sky came into view, along with Jeonghan’s displeased expression.

“I didn’t bring you here just to look at the sea.”

Seeing his slightly raised eyebrow, Suhyeon let out a small laugh.

“It’s so beautiful, how could I not look? Isn’t that why you brought me here?”

“I did bring you here to show you.”

Jeonghan placed both hands on the deck railing lined with lights, trapping Suhyeon between them as he gazed at her with eyes full of warmth.

“That’s true, but all I see is Seol Suhyeon.”

“…..”

A smile spread across Suhyeon’s lips. With a serious expression, Jeonghan looked at her and spoke sincerely.

“So shouldn’t it be fair if you only look at me too?”

Suhyeon, her smile deepening, gently raised her hands and cupped Jeonghan’s cheeks.

“I was looking at only you the entire time on the private jet.”

It wasn’t intentional. It was because Jeonghan had confined her to the bed, making it so she couldn’t see anything but him.

Even so, the displeasure in Jeonghan’s eyes did not dissipate. One of his eyebrows arched sharply at an acute angle.

“So, you’ve looked enough back there, and now you’re not going to look at me here?”

At his low voice, Suhyeon couldn’t help but burst into a clear laugh.

“It’s not that… Ah.”

Jeonghan tilted his head and captured Suhyeon’s lips, sucking gently.

Smooch.

Their lips, moistly intertwined, parted. Jeonghan ran his thumb over her lips, now glistening with his saliva, as he gazed at her.

“I can never get enough of Seol Suhyeon.”

“…..”

With his darkened eyes, Suhyeon silently met his gaze.

“So, I’m saying that even for the briefest moment, I hate it when your eyes turn elsewhere.”

Suhyeon drew in a breath under the intensity of his burning eyes.

It might sound like madness, but for some reason, when Do Jeonghan said things like this, her heart trembled. The possessive glimmer in his gaze only made it worse.

With a serious expression, he stared at her and spoke.

“So, only look at me.”

“…Okay. I will.”

In his words, clearly expecting a firm answer, Suhyeon gave a delicate smile, like a thin coating of sugar. Jeonghan, his gaze captured by that sweet smile, tilted his head.

Their lips met.

The kiss deepened, and Suhyeon wrapped her arms around his neck.

Lifting her into his arms, Jeonghan carried her inside the water villa.

Placing Suhyeon down on the spacious bed, Jeonghan blocked her view with his body, as if to say she should see nothing but him, even with the blue sea framed by the large window in the background.

As his burning gaze drew closer, Suhyeon felt a familiar heat and embraced him with both arms.

* * * * *

Suhyeon opened her eyes.

The sky, vividly framed by the large window, was drenched in the golden hues of sunset.

It was midday earlier, but when did it become this late?

“Ah…”

Feeling the soft touch of lips on her forehead, Suhyeon hesitated and looked up. She realized she was nestled in Jeonghan’s arms.

“You’re awake?”

Jeonghan’s hair was slightly damp, as if he had just showered. Strands of hair falling over his attractive forehead exuded a sensual vibe.

Suhyeon, who had been gazing at him as if she wasn’t fully awake, asked,

“When do you… even sleep?”

Blinking her round eyes as she spoke, Jeonghan’s eyes widened slightly. He let out a brief chuckle and said to Suhyeon,

“Want to go swimming?”

At his question, asked instead of an answer, Suhyeon’s drowsy eyes suddenly sparkled.

Ah, the swimsuit!

Remembering that she had bought a swimsuit to enjoy the vacation, Suhyeon hurriedly tried to get up.

“Yes, sounds great. But before that, I’ll take a quick shower, so you can head to the pool fir—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Jeonghan pulled Suhyeon back into his embrace.

“…Huh?”

Her slender body was effortlessly drawn back into his broad chest, returning to the exact same position as before.
