Chapter 27: Salt and Fire
They did not turn on the lights when they got back to Hannam-dong.
Ye-rin stood in the dark hall with her coat still on and the phone in her hand, and Seo-jun stood behind her.
The foundation circular was still on the screen.
"He knows," she said. "He knows we're going to speak."
"Yes."
"He's cancelled it so there's no room to do it in," she said.
"We'll find a room."
"I know we will." She turned around. "Not tonight."
The city threw a faint orange glow through the tall windows, enough to see the outline of his face and no more.
She put the phone on the hall table.
She took off her coat and let it fall.
"Say something real," said Ye-rin.
"I've been trying not to touch you for three days."
"Why?" she asked.
"You asked for room," he said.
"I'm taking it back."
He crossed the space between them in two steps and picked her up.
She wrapped her legs around his waist and put her mouth on his, and the kiss was hungry and clumsy.
It tasted of salt, because she had been crying without noticing.
He carried her into the kitchen and set her on the steel counter.
It was cold through her skirt.
