Chapter 68: Bath Time
The next morning I woke up, I was back in bed, much to my surprise. My one hell of a partner, Agent Helios, was nowhere to be found. He probably carried me back to bed earlier, but how come I didn’t wake up? I’m usually sensitive to any form of movement, even in my sleep.
’Is it his touch? Am I too used to them already that I don’t see them as a threat? Oh no... this is bad. Once I get the chance to go back to our base, I will make sure to do rigorous training again!’
"Good morning, madam," one of the maids greeted me. "Master Eun-Woo is in the bath right now. Would you like to join him and wash first before breakfast?"
What the heck did she just say?
My eyes widened as I tried to force a smile at her mind-blowing question.
"Ha-ha," I laughed awkwardly. "That’s fine. I’ll do it later."
Was it normal for a married couple to take a bath together?! Wouldn’t that mean they would be n-naked in front of each other? NO! Not in a billion years would I do that with him!
"Oh no, did you two fight last night?" the maid fretted. "I’m so sorry for suggesting something insensitive."
"No, it’s alright. We didn’t fight. I just—"
"I see! That’s great news, then. I will go and prepare for your bath now."
"Wait! I just said I wouldn’t join him. It’s uhm...."
"But you said you didn’t fight? So I assumed that meant..." she murmured and thought for a moment. "Oh! Could it be that you are still shy, madam? If that’s the case, then you should do it often so you can get used to it."
"I’m really good!" I yelped. "It’s alright. I don’t feel like taking a bath right now. I’ll do it later."
Her expression turned worried. Was it suspicious that I was avoiding taking a bath with my husband? Were married couples obligated to do that? How come the other maids never asked me to do such a thing before?!
It was then that I realized something...
’Right. These people are Agent Helios’ people, so that means... he ordered them to do this, right? ASDFGHJKL! That motherf**ker! Is this what he meant last night when he said he’d shower me with affection, and he won’t stop until I’m his? I’m going to kill him!’
"You know what?" I replied, hiding my anger in my smile. "Sure. I’ll do that. Why don’t you all leave us for about an hour or so? I want to take some time alone with my husband."
The maid I was talking to grinned so happily, along with the other maids around the room who heard me. They giggled, probably thinking I’d be lovey-dovey with their master so early in the morning.
’Hah! Just wait and pray that your master will still be alive after he gets a taste of my killer punch and kicks. And so what if he’s naked? It’s not like I haven’t seen a man’s body after all the missions I took before. They’re just the usual flesh and bones arranged in the way a human’s body is designed. In fact, it can work to my advantage. I can see his veins and easily target them by utilizing the best pressure points to subdue the enemy.’
And so, I went to the huge bathroom where my cunning partner was. It was so big that what’s supposed to be a bathtub became as big as a hot spring. The whole room was steaming and smelled lovely—designed as luxurious as ever. I’m already used to seeing such things wherever I go.
’Now, where is that sly fox?’
I walked around and towards the pool covered in a bunch of flower petals, but I didn’t see him. I thought he was taking a bath, but it seemed like he was already done?
Just as I was about to turn my back, I noticed him submerged in the colored water, swimming. I didn’t think the pool was that deep. When I bathed last night, I only used the shower since I was so tired and wanted to sleep.
Then, probably noticing me standing there, he got out of the water. He swam from the middle part of the pool to the side where the stairs were and slowly got out. Little by little, his naked body revealed itself as waters trickled from his body.
Yes... from his neck to his shoulders...
Then, his chest and lower to his abdomen...
And that perfect V line...
And... and...
’WAAAAAAAAA! No, Kim Ye-Ji! Don’t look at that part!’
I quickly averted my eyes off his body, suddenly feeling flustered, for I don’t know why. I’ve seen lots of bodies before—both men and women—there was nothing special, just the normal anatomy of humans. The same should be said for him, but why am I suddenly feeling a little hot? It must be because of the steam. But then again, why am I averting my eyes?
Gathering my courage, I turned my head to face him.
’Yup. Just look straight at his face, Kim Ye-Ji, and don’t get distracted by his body. Most of all, don’t look down! He’s just naked, that’s all. Nothing special.’
"Good morning, my dear wife," he greeted me, deliberately saying it in a seductive way. He’s truly a master flirt. "I didn’t think you’d actually join me."
"Huh! Tell that to the maid you ordered to persuade me," I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "And look at you. You’re not even ashamed of showing your body to me, pervert."
"Why should I be ashamed? I have a great body."
Ugh. Look at that smug face. He’s too confident with his looks—what a narcissist.
"Anyway, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Come here and let me smack some sense to you. How dare you plot against me and conspire with your maids to make me do what you want?"
I stretched my fingers and prepared my fists. Not even a little scared, he just casually walked towards me, still looking so smug. Nonetheless, I put up my stance, ready to punch him and kick him.
"I’ve been missing the feeling of training in my body. You would be the perfect match for a spar."
"That’s not what you do in a bathroom with a naked handsome man in front of you," he laughed.
Pissed off, I threw a punch straight into his face. Let’s see how smug you can remain when I put a bruise on your pretty face!
But then, he quickly evaded my punch and pulled the arm I used towards him, making me lose my balance. I stomped my other feet hard and pulled back to regain my stance, only to find another hand ready to grab me!
"I said," his voice reverberated in my ears, and his warm breath tickled my nape, "this is not what you do with a naked handsome man in a bathroom."
After that, he lifted me up like luggage in just one arm and threw me into the pool!
"Aaahh!" I screamed before my body hit the waters.
I quickly swam up to look for him, but he was already beside me.
"How dare you throw me?!" I snapped at him, more pissed off than earlier.
Then, I threw some more punches at him. He evaded them first, but afterward, he grabbed both my fists and pulled them to his back, making me hug him! What’s worse, I was in the water, so I couldn’t push my body back. I tried with my legs, but he countered them as well.
"You’re so energetic so early in the morning, my dear wife. Why don’t we use that energy for something else, huh?"
"And what else do you want? It’s probably something perverted, so NO!"
"Aww, too bad," he said, knitting his brows, looking sorry but not really sorry—how fake. "By the way, nice lingerie. I didn’t know you like wearing sexy ones like that."
Huh? Lingerie? I didn’t take off my clothes, though.
It was only then that I remembered... my sleeping dress was white! And a thin one at that! And my lingerie really did look rather sexy because my stylist prepared all my outfits according to the trip, which was supposed to be a honeymoon!
ASDFGHJKL!!!
I felt my blood rush to my face. I was so angry. Very angry!
I raised my hand, ready to slap him in the face, but he stopped them again. I tried to put force into it, but d*mn, he’s still stronger than me, and I hate it! I was so angry, but I couldn’t even get back at him.
"Don’t look, you pervert! I hate you!"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
He laughed so loud as if he didn’t hear what I said.
"This is a nice change of pace—seeing you flustered and angry like that."
"Do you think I’m joking? I hate you, and I mean it!"
"You’re so cute, my dear wife. Let’s take a bath together now, shall we?"
Of course, I tried to swim out of the pool, but he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back. Ugh! I shouldn’t have let him throw me here!
"Stop pouting. The water feels nice."
"I won’t stop until you let go of me."
"But we’re taking a bath. You should take your clothes off."
"NO! Pervert! Maniac! This is sexual harassment!"
"So cute," he chuckled and patted my head. Am I his pet?
"Stop it!"
From that day onwards, he kept flirting with me, AKA pissing me off with all he got.
Someone remind me again why I accepted this mission with him? Ugh.
