I Bathed My Injured Husband… Then Everything Changed

My heart dropped for a moment.

Not only did Jeon Seongwon know about Kang Chaehee, he had even grabbed him by the hair—I knew that well—but being startled was a different matter.

Then, after a moment, rational suspicion raised its head.

“Have you been having me followed?”

“You did it too.”

“…….”

It was true, so I had nothing to say.

So he knew there was a spy among his attendants and just left them there?

“Do you know who’s been feeding you information? Shouldn’t you replace your entire attendant team?”

“It’s not that serious. I know who it is. And I know they only pass information to you, so I’ve just left them alone.”

Watching him answer calmly, I thought, ‘Then what about my side?’

The only attendant I had was Han Youngjun.

Surely Han Youngjun wouldn’t……

“Don’t worry, I didn’t hear it from Manager Han.”

Jeon Seongwon spoke as if reading my mind.

“Then where did you hear it?”

“I had someone look into it.”

“Oh, is that right.”

Since he said it so matter-of-factly, I wasn’t even angry.

I was just embarrassed that I hadn’t known I was being looked into.

Jeon Seongwon shrugged lightly and looked at me.

“It wasn’t surveillance. I just had someone find out what people in the industry were saying about him. Kang Chaehee—he’s more impressive than I thought.”

“……Really? How does it feel knowing the guy you grabbed by the hair is a genius actor?”

“Let’s drop that.”

Jeon Seongwon frowned slightly.

He did know it was embarrassing, then.

“I don’t want to. I’ll bring it up forever.”

“…….”

I thought he would get angry, but for some reason, his ears turned red and he bowed his head slightly.

Why was he acting like that?

It made me even more annoyed……

When I got up from beside the bed, he finally raised his head.

“You’re not going home?”

“I’ll sleep here.”

The caretaker’s bed in the VIP room was next to the sofa—just a regular bed, with fluffy blankets.

It looked decent enough to sleep on for a few days.

“That’s a surprise. I thought you’d go home, saying it was uncomfortable.”

At his words, I pointed to the caretaker’s bed and said.

“What’s uncomfortable about this? I’m not the Princess and the Pea.”

A brief silence followed.

Then Jeon Seongwon stupidly opened his mouth.

“What’s the Princess and the Pea?”

“……You didn’t read fairy tales when you were little, did you?”

“Why would I read fairy tales? There were so many other things to read.”

He had learned the Korean alphabet at three and had been reading books ever since.

Not just fairy tales—complete collections of world literature.

Brave New World, The Scarlet Letter, King Lear, The Metamorphosis, The Grapes of Wrath……

That was clearly why his emotional intelligence had turned out like that.

There was a reason age-appropriate recommended books existed, wasn’t there?

Reading tragedies so heartbreaking at an age when he should have been reading The Princess and the Pea—that’s why he ended up like this.

I was shaking my head when Jeon Seongwon fidgeted on the bed and climbed down.

No matter how fine he seemed, he had just been in an accident—I could see his legs trembling slightly as he got down.

“Why are you getting down?”

“To wash up.”

“…….”

I hesitated for a moment.

The injured areas were the back of one hand and the opposite arm.

No matter how he did it, those were awkward places to wash alone.

Surely I wasn’t going to have to help him—just as I was thinking that, I felt his gaze.

When I quickly looked over, he was putting some ridiculous-looking waterproof covers on both arms.

“……Pfft.”

“Don’t laugh.”

“Pfft…… Sorry.”

With a displeased expression, he went into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of water started.

And odd rustling noises too.

I felt a little guilty.

The way his legs had been trembling earlier, and his forehead was injured too—how was he going to wash his hair?

“Hoo…….”

I let out a long breath, then took off my cardigan, rolled up my knit and pants, and went into the bathroom.

The bathroom was arranged like a hotel’s—a large shower booth on one side, a bathtub on the other.

The shower booth was already filled with steam along with the sound of water.

I could vaguely make out Jeon Seongwon’s figure.

First, I turned on the water in the bathtub, then opened the shower booth door.

Startled by the door opening, he turned to look at me.

He had his head tilted back and was struggling with the showerhead while moving his two waterproof-covered arms.

A sigh escaped me.

“……Come out. I’ll wash you.”

“What?”

He blinked as if he had misheard.

I turned off the faucet and nodded toward the tub.

Seeing the warm water filling the bathtub, he finally seemed to understand and slowly moved to the tub.

I had him rest his arms on the edge of the tub and took off the ridiculous waterproof covers.

The skin under the thin vinyl was flushed red.

Clicking my tongue, I turned on the showerhead.

I lathered up a shower sponge and started washing his body, but doing it from outside the tub was no easy task.

On top of that, though Jeon Seongwon looked slender when dressed, he was actually solidly built, with broad shoulders and tall height.

Meaning there was a lot of surface area to wash.

‘Haa……’

I had come in offering to wash him, but now that he was in the deep bathtub, it was no ordinary task.

First, I carefully washed both his arms, making sure water didn’t get on the wounds.

Then I scrubbed his chest—and was already getting tired.

Jeon Seongwon watched me struggling for a moment, then suddenly reached out toward me.

“What? Don’t move. Water will get on your wounds.”

“That’s not it…… Wouldn’t it be better if you got in the tub to do this?”

“But my clothes will get all wet.”

“Then take them off and get in.”

“…….”

Come to think of it, he wasn’t wrong.

It would be much more stable and comfortable to just get in the tub than to lean over from outside.

I ended up taking off my clothes and getting into the tub.

The tub was plenty big enough for two.

Silently, I washed Jeon Seongwon’s body.

After finishing his body, the problem came when it was time to wash his hair.

Looking at his face as he obediently closed his eyes at my instruction, I suddenly became aware of the situation.

‘……Hmm.’

The two of us, wet, slightly covered in soap bubbles, pressed together.

My face suddenly flushed bright red.

A certain atmosphere began to creep up along my skin.

‘No. No.’

I shook my head and barely shook it off, then washed his hair.

It was my first time washing someone else’s hair, but if you know how to wash your own, you can wash someone else’s, right?

Careful of the wound on his forehead, I rinsed his hair clean with water, then turned off the water and squeezed out the moisture—

“……!”

Two long hands caressed my skin, damp from the steam.

The touch, stroking from the back of my neck down my spine, sent a tingle through my head.

“Ugh, what are you doing…….”

But without answering, he bent one knee and sat me on top of him as if straddling his thigh between my legs.

Both his body and mine were wet.

As his hard thigh rubbed against my lower body, a moan escaped me.

“Ah, ugh……!”

He grabbed my waist and repeated the same motion several times.

With my legs spread open, my lower body kept brushing against his thigh, made slick by the water, and it began to grow faintly wet.

“Are you getting wet?”

Even though there was water, he somehow knew and whispered.

I bit my lip and shook my head, pretending otherwise.

He tilted his head slightly, then suddenly reached down, grabbed my buttocks firmly, and spread my entrance wide open.

“Haa, ah, ah……! Th-this is weird……!”

When my lower body rubbed against his thigh again in that state, an indescribable strange sensation accompanied by a tingle in my lower belly.

The moment my body trembled, a finger slipped into the widely spread opening.

The second finger of each hand.

He curled and uncurled his fingers, scratching my insides.

The soft flesh writhed along with his finger movements, and from there, heat like an electric current spread through my entire body.

From inside, fluid trickled out.

“Ahhngh, hnn, ugh…….”

Shivering at the sensation of the fluid flowing, I unconsciously buried my face in his chest.

I could hear his pounding heart.

This time, he pulled me closer and lifted me onto his waist.

Naturally, what touched me this time wasn’t his thigh, but his member.

Memories of how painful s*x had always been until now, and the recent memory of ecstasy, surfaced simultaneously.

“Hoo…….”

Jeon Seongwon grasped himself and slowly rubbed it against my entrance.

At some point, he was already fully erect.

With a little water pooled on the bottom of the tub, every movement made a splashing sound.

He pressed the tip of his member against my entrance and slowly rotated it.

Along with a tingling sensation, anticipation swelled, and my head went hazy.
