Chapter Title: It's Okay to Kiss on the First Day of Dating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'd gone and made an utterly ridiculous confession.
"Heehee…"
And Ryu Seol, sitting right in front of me, had accepted it without a second thought.
So we ended up at the nearest café, facing each other and beaming like idiots.
Especially her—she'd been thrilled by my sudden confession the moment we met, and ever since, she'd been sipping her drink halfheartedly while letting out these weird little giggles.
Watching her do that made me start grinning too.
I hadn't planned on accelerating things like this, but since my goal was to push forward aggressively anyway, I wasn't about to complain.
"Seol-ah."
"Yes!"
"This is our first real date, just the two of us. You sure you're okay with that?"
"Of course! That's why I asked for your number in the first place, Oppa. You gave it to me for the same reason, right?"
"Yeah, you're right. So today counts as day one?"
"Day one!"
The way she stuck out her pinky finger was just too damn cute.
Had she stopped by a salon before meeting me? She looked perfectly dolled up from head to toe.
She was wearing a black A-line skirt with an ivory loose-fit shirt that really played up her cute style.
Especially those long, snow-white bare legs peeking out from under the skirt—they were fanning the flames of my resolve today.
"Sorry for being late, by the way."
"I got here early! I was the one who rushed out, so it's fine~"
"Glad you see it that way."
Seol couldn't contain her joy at the fact we'd started dating—her bright smile never left her face.
Of course, I was thrilled too, savoring this sweet dating vibe for the first time. But ever since yesterday, my dick wouldn't listen to reason.
Even now, more than wanting to leisurely enjoy this date, I felt this urgent compulsion to drag her somewhere enclosed.
If I didn't have any special abilities and this situation had just happened naturally, I'd probably be over the moon with things as they were.
But I had the app.
And that power filled me with confidence... and impatience.
Half my Americano was still left, but I stood up and offered my hand to Seol.
"Wanna walk and talk?"
"Sure!"
She took my hand without hesitation, naturally lacing her fingers with mine.
This petite hand slipping perfectly into mine, with its slightly cool temperature, sent a jolt through my whole body.
I gripped it reflexively, but Seol squeezed back just as tight, pressing closer to me without a word of complaint.
We left the café and strolled slowly down the darkening street.
"Honestly, I was planning to ask you out when we parted ways tonight, but things turned out like this."
"I was shocked too. But happy!"
"Good thing. The second I saw you, you looked so gorgeous I couldn't think of anything else."
"Really?!"
"I was the one shocked. You showed up way prettier than I imagined."
"Heehee… Worth all the effort I put into getting ready! I was actually gonna confess to you today!"
"No way? Damn, missed out. I wanted to hear that."
"Oppa Seon-ha. Wanna go out with me?"
"Yes."
"That's no fun~"
Seol's energy was sky-high, piercing the heavens, so I kept the conversation going to match it. All while focusing every nerve on the sweat building in our clasped hands.
"But really, am I good enough for you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I never thought I'd even get your number, let alone date you. Just wondering what about me caught your eye."
"There's no reason for liking someone! You know I couldn't study for three whole days? I was just thinking about you nonstop."
"Really?"
"Yeah! I spent all day staring at my phone, waiting for your reply."
"Ah, sorry. Lectures and volunteer work made it hard to check my phone constantly."
"N-no! It's fine! I didn't mean it like that… I was just saying you were all I could think about."
Seeing her panic, worried I'd feel too bad, really drove home how powerful the app was.
I hadn't done a thing, yet Seol was hanging on my every word and gesture, overjoyed or upset by the smallest things.
It had only been four days since we first talked.
Or maybe because it was only four days, she was holding back a bit. A favorability of 90 was couple-level—hell, even married couples would be all lovey-dovey with that.
"You're my first boyfriend… I never thought I'd be like this…"
"You're my first too."
"Really?!"
"Is that so surprising?"
"You're so cool, how come… No, actually it's great! Means I get to keep you all to myself!"
Her proud words and beaming smile told me I didn't need to test the waters with more talk. We'd already covered most things over text anyway.
Sorry to interrupt her sweet mood, but just holding hands had my lower half out of control.
So midway through the chat, I suggested casually,
"Wanna go to a… no, karaoke?"
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
I nearly slipped and said motel in my lust-fueled haze, barely catching myself.
Even with this absurd first-date plan—café straight to karaoke—Seol followed me happily, like anything was fine.
Honestly, she might've even gone to a motel if I'd suggested it. But karaoke was already skipping a ton of steps for what I had in mind.
"What kind of songs do you like, Oppa? I've been into Nayeon and NewJeans lately."
"I listen to whatever. Before heading out today, I had NowBuds and Jelly Pop on."
"Ah! I love NowBuds too! Back in high school, it was all NowBuds and ASR for me."
Inside the karaoke room—darker than the street and fully sealed—Seol was bouncing around with the remote in hand.
Date course aside, she seemed to genuinely love karaoke. I wasn't a great singer myself, but I enjoyed belting it out here or at noraebang spots like Kono.
Of course,
I wasn't here to sing.
"Seol-ah."
I called to her as she reached to queue songs, patting the seat next to me.
"Ah, sorry~"
Finally noticing her excitement, she smiled sheepishly and sat down demurely.
Not quite pressed against me—she left about a handspan of space—but I scooted over until our hips touched.
Then I stretched out an arm and gently pulled her waist toward me.
"Ah…"
Seol froze solid. Her head turned toward me with a robotic creak. With our hips touching, our faces were inches apart, naturally.
Thanks to the height difference, I looked down while she gazed up.
Her face flushed crimson at my hand on her waist and our breaths mingling so close. She couldn't speak, just letting out a soft "Ahhh…"
My heart was pounding too, but I had no intention of stopping.
"Don't like it?"
*Shake shake!*
She shook her head vigorously instead of answering my gentle question.
I knew she wouldn't mind. I trusted that ironclad minimum favorability of 90. No matter what I did to turn her off, she'd love me anyway.
"I'm just so happy you're my girlfriend… Can't stop thinking like this."
"O… Oppa…"
"Tell me if you don't like it. I won't force anything."
With that, I cupped her cheek with my left hand. Slowly, carefully, I drew her face toward mine.
As the distance closed, her eyes darted wildly for a second before she shut them, lips parting slightly in response.
*Thump! Thump!*
I couldn't tell if the heartbeat was mine, hers, or both.
Her see-through bangs, closed eyes and long lashes, perky nose, small lips glowing red.
All set against flawless porcelain skin—nothing short of stunning.
And this face, trembling slightly with tension.
This cute girl was now
mine.
*Smack…*
Our lips met. Just a physical touch, but ecstasy washed over me. The marshmallow softness against my lips had me cheering inwardly.
But this wasn't enough.
After a one-second peck, I said to Seol, whose lips were pursed,
"Seol-ah."
"Uh… Y-yes…"
"Open your mouth a little."
"...."
"Hurry."
"…Okay, Oppa…"
She hesitated—embarrassment, maybe—but soon relaxed her lips, parting them slightly.
I dove in like I'd been waiting, shoving my tongue inside wildly.
"Smooch… Slurp…♡"
I moved the hand from her waist to her head, gripping it as I devoured her lips like a beast. No finesse, just raw intensity.
My tongue thrashed around her mouth, and she tentatively met it with hers, trying to keep up.
"Slurrrp! Smooch…"
Obscene slurping sounds echoed as I sucked her saliva, her upper and lower lips, then tangled our tongues again.
We fumbled through the clumsy deep kiss for minutes.
"Haa…♡ Huu…"
I pulled back, watching her pant heavily. Her face was flushed, lips a messy wreck of saliva.
To an outsider, it might look like I'd forced myself on her.
"Oppa…♡"
But her strained voice held no blame or fear—just sticky sweetness.
That boosted my confidence in today's grand goal even more.
"Come sit on my lap."
"Like this? Eek!"
I pulled her onto my lap and hugged her tight. She yelped as her body pressed against mine, her surprisingly ample chest squishing against my torso.
"Kiss me like I did to you?"
"M-me?"
"Yeah. Hug my neck, stick out your tongue."
"...."
Her face was beet red like a persimmon, but she didn't refuse. Arms around my neck as instructed, she slowly brought her lips to mine.
"Slurp… Smooch…"
Imitating me, she sucked my lips, then my tongue. This time, her pink tongue invaded my mouth.
"Slurp, smuulp…♡ Slurrrp… Smack♡"
Our first time… or because it was our first, we mixed saliva messily and fiercely. Mouths wide open, fully pressed together, tongues entwining wildly.
Our noses bumped, eyes locked as she now kissed with them open.
My hands, meanwhile, advanced to the next step.
*Slide*
The arm hugging her small frame slid down naturally, resting on her ass perched atop my lap.
*Twitch!*
Her body jolted hard, but the kiss didn't stop.
*Grope*
"Slurrrp… Hnng…!"
Emboldened, I kneaded her ass over the skirt, drawing sweet moans from her lips.
I groped a few more times, then grabbed the hem of her drooping skirt and hiked it up.
The A-line wasn't tight, so a little lift was enough to slip my hand underneath.
All while we kept eye contact, locked in passionate kissing.
"Smuulp…! Slurp…"
She had to feel my hand lifting her skirt, but made no move to stop me—like she wanted it.
Soon the skirt's edge was in my grasp, and I could touch her bare ass.
*Squeeze!*
"Ahng♡"
The insane softness at my fingertips made me slam my whole palm down hard.
Seol broke the kiss with a louder moan, but I was lost in the plush feel of her ass and the panty fabric against my knuckles.
"Ah, it hurts…"
"Sorry. I'll be gentle."
"Okay… Ah."
Even after allowing my hand on her most precious spot, she just nodded shyly, eyes fixed downward.
Wondering why, I followed her gaze. Her skirt hid it, but I realized my rock-hard dick—fully erect since before karaoke—was pressed right between her thighs.
