Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 43(In The Wilderness)

She raised her head to stare at him, a little dumbfounded.

He lowered his head to stare at her too. His gaze was deep and piercing.

Smart people sometimes don’t need words to communicate. The two maintained eye contact for a while, and suddenly Jisoo felt like she was being hit on an acupoint. A ticklish and tremulous sensation spread across her whole body starting from the point where she was touched by “it.”

Her cheeks flushed; her pulse raced like a galloping horse.

Only hinting and contemplating was left in this silence. Suddenly a sharp ook ook and hoo hoo sounded beside their feet, distracting them.

Jisoo glanced over. Ah! It was a small and furry monkey!

The grey monkey sat on the green grass by their feet was less than a foot tall. Its head was raised, showing its soft furry face. It stared at them with its big eyes and was making hoo hoo sounds at them. One of its hands extended toward them, its palm turned up. It was asking for food.

Jisoo was amused. There was a smile on Taehyung’s face as well. He let go of her.

Jisoo squatted down in front of the monkey, smiling. “What do you want?”

“Hoo hoo!” The monkey made the noise again and pulled on the leg of her pants.

Entertained, Jisoo took out the corn she had bought at the foot of the mountain from her bag and passed it to the monkey. The monkey happily grabbed it; after scurrying around, it settled on a low branch at the same level as the squatting Jisoo and devoured the corn.

This monkey was too cute. Jisoo was reluctant to leave; she rested her chin on her hand, squatted in front of the monkey and watched it devour the food. Taehyung squatted down beside her.

Jisoo turned her head and smiled at him. Without warning, he leaned in and pecked her cheek. He stood right after the kiss.

Jisoo turned around and looked at him. There was a faint smile on his face, but his gaze was still dark and pressing.

Thinking back to his hint and intention just now, Jisoo felt her face flush again. She said goodbye to the monkey, stood up, and went ahead alone.

After a few steps, he caught up with her and walked in silence.

Jisoo was also silent for a while, then she couldn’t help but take a peek at him. She was caught by him instantaneously. He raised his gaze, saying in a low voice, “Why are you walking so fast? Are you scared that I’ll devour you?”

His voice was low and intimidating, and his double entendre made Jisoo’s heart skip a beat. Jisoo naturally fought back after being teased beyond her limit. She glared at him. “You... you are turning evil!”

Taehyung smiled, murmuring, “Hmm.”

So Jisoo, as usual, could do nothing about him, the soldier pretending to be weak. She could only glare at him again; she then turned around to hasten up the mountain. But no matter how fast or how far she ran, that man (who was turning evil) was always half a step behind her. Occasionally when they paused to rest, they would smooch in silence.

The sky turned dark without them noticing. The two finally reached the hot springs resort, situated at the mountainside.

That morning, when Jisoo had seen the rough schedule from Taehyung, she was a little surprised.

She had been planning on a day trip, but Taehyung had booked the hotel to stay overnight. She was fine with it. This way, they could go to the Golden Peak to watch the sunrise tomorrow early in the morning.

But when they reached the hotel lobby and Taehyung checked in at the counter to get the room card, she was even more surprised.

He had only booked one room, with a commercial king-sized bed.

Of course, at this moment, Jisoo was not going to be a hypocrite. She stared at Taehyung’s calm expression, silently asking herself, Am I willing?

The answer was obvious.

So she silently took one of the room key cards from Taehyung and slipped it into her pocket. Taehyung put his arm around her shoulders and they went upstairs.

The room was great. The design was delicate; the scent from the pot of pale yellow flowers on the table filled the room. Beyond the balcony door was a great view of the canyon and valley. As night fell, the mountains became a rumpled drape of silk. The air filled her nose with a refreshing and slightly-sweet scent.

Taehyung stood on the balcony, gazing into the distance. After a while, he turned around and stared at the little woman hiding in the room. “Don’t you want to come out here and have a look?”

“Oh...” Jisoo answered vaguely. She walked to the balcony and stood beside him. Taehyung lifted a cup of tea from the side table and passed it to her.

Taehyung had brought the tea leaves from his house. Jisoo took the cup and mindlessly sipped it.

She was neither in the mood to enjoy the great scenery nor tea of the best quality.

Jisoo was a woman with a vivid imagination, but also with little to no dating experience. Sometimes, her emotions and desires were not always synced with her psychological endurance. For example: now, she understood clearly what would happen tonight, and her brain started filling in the gaps and imagining a lot of things.

Of course those images were not specific nor concrete; she couldn’t picture anything specific anyway. But even imagining some generic images was enough to leave her restless and blushing.

For example, seeing each other naked...

Or, what position would they use...

“Ahem.” Jisoo choked on the tea and coughed.

Standing beside her, Taehyung couldn’t help laughing; he gently patted her back. Jisoo felt even more self-conscious being touched by him now—all sorts of images rushed into her brain. She immediately evaded the subject by saying, “Let’s go and have dinner!”

Taehyung stared at her cheeks, which had been red since she set foot in the hotel. He didn’t point it out, and merely answered under his breath, “Okay.”

The hotel’s specialties were vegetarian. Taehyung asked for a private dining room. Outside the window was a view of the mountains and a stream. The environment was exquisite and tranquil.

They ordered a few dishes: vegetarian beef, snow konjac, fried rice balls, steamed lotus tofu, and silver noodles.

Jisoo was a highly adaptive woman. Though she was sometimes caught off-guard in situations and panicked, after a while she would feel okay. Right now, facing a table of delicate and delicious-looking vegetarian dishes, her worries lifted and she focused on filling her stomach.

Occasionally when she turned her head and saw Taehyung staring at her with his dark gaze, she thought: Just do it! Who’s afraid? She put on a sweet, slightly provocative smile.

Taehyung sat beside her with a hand on the back of her chair. He noticed Jisoo recover her usual combat mode—she even wore complacent (though a little sheepish) expression to provoke him.

He smiled a little.

Actually, he enjoyed this form of teasing very much.

As of now, seeing that she was lively and in a good mood, Taehyung naturally thought of tonight. He felt his blood surge. He lifted the cup and slowly drank from it, allowing her to lean closer and continue to tease him daringly.
