Chapter 15: Clock Strikes "2"
Seohyun's ButlerNo one's POV
Joohyun is always one to strive for her goals and is most active in achieving them, whether it was becoming the president of the student's council or going against her father's wishes to study music. So, when the first kiss ended with both gasping for air, she does the unexpected and leans in for another. Though she has been the one to initiate the second kiss, she did it without the slightest notion of her own. It was an impulsive action and she never does anything on impulse, until now. She swears her face is about to burst into flames from embarassment, for Changmin did nothing to respond. She was going to retreat herself and apologize, when the man snakes a hand on the back of her neck to deepen the kiss most eagerly.
His lips are soft and smooth, unlike what she has previously imagined for a man. The lack of stubbles on his face is another pleasant surprise to her. She has always thought snogs and smooches to be immensely grotesque, involving the unhygienic gesture of exchanging saliva, but her first experience proves otherwise.
Changmin is most gentle and tentative in his maneuverings and Joohyun has allowed him to take full charge of the intimacy. After a slight bit of lip-on-lip contact, he her lips and parts them slightly, asking for entrance. Initially, the girl is clueless, yet, being someone who is very keen to learn, she relaxes and lets him does his magic. She opens as instructed and the butler skillfully slides his tongue in. Picking things up easily, Joohyun begins a battle with Changmin using their tongues.
Things heat up so fast that the lady finds herself uncharacteristically fumbling to unbotton his shirt. All the while, she could feel his heart thumping strong and fast like a battle drum, making her smile to know that she is the cause of it. Meanwhile, one of Changmin's hand has ped her dress from the back and slid in to feel the bare skin on her lower waist. She lets out a hiss at the warm touch, nearly biting on his tongue. But he has retracted just in time, breaking the kiss with a light tuck on her lower lips.
The instant they lost contact, the grandfather clock from inside the house strikes 2 times. Much like the clock in Cinderella, the lady and her butler find themselves knocked back to reality. The alcohol seems to have lost its effect on the two and instead, horror takes its place in their blood. Both of them admitted to liking each other and to worsen the situation, they kissed. They have broken the codex.
"This has been a mistake, Mr. Shim." She says softly, her voice filled with uncertainty and regret. Changmin's heart drops slightly to hear her address him so formally, but he knows it is for the better.
"I completely understand, my lady. It has been rude of me to keep you awake. Allow me to you back to your room." He answers with a bow. Joohyun feels slightly disappointed that he should make no attempt to detain her, but she understands it's the only way to resolve the situation.
"I think I'll go by myself, if you don't mind. You should take your rest as well, it's been a long day." She turns around and makes her way back inside.
"Goonight, my lady." He says after her but she gives no response and leaves quietly.
