(Guide Us to) A Million Stars

20🔥

On the day of our 100th day anniversary, I checked my mailbox in the lobby of the apartment complex. There was a large envelope from "Learning E." As I took the elevator back to my place, I discovered an advertisement card from the language company.

"Congratulations! You are halfway complete with your one-year commitment to being an English tutor in South Korea. Have you thought about your next adventure?"

In addition to the card, inside the envelope were pamphlets of information for other countries that "Learning E" served with ESL classes: Mexico, Argentina, Austria, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina. When I entered my apartment, I stared at the papers in my hand. I would love to go to all of these countries!

I decided to watch a travel video on the TV in my living room to explore the possibilities. Living in a foreign country, soaking in the new scenery, and acclimating to the culture had always appealed to me. Now that I had graduated from college, I felt I was in the prime time of my young life to chase my dream. I took a few steps to the map hanging over my computer desk and touched the area labeled Europe. I'd love to go here...and here...and here. But when? I love Tae and he loves me. How could I leave this place? How could I leave him?

My mind flashed to an image of he and I about to have a romantic dinner to celebrate a milestone in our relationship. A small milestone, but important enough for him to say it was going to be special. Perhaps my dream would have to put on hold. I pondered the thought. Then I turned around and placed the large envelope in the back of the hall closet. Staring at the poster of the world, I tilted my head and contemplated the possibilities. Then I sighed and took the map down. Impulsively, I also placed it inside the closet and closed the door.

An hour later, when the food that Tae had ordered was delivered, I texted him to let him know. A few minutes later, he arrived wearing his schoolboy uniform from the Bang Bang Con concert. I checked him out, my knees feeling weak from his cute/sexy look.

I greeted him with a sexy dance using the choreography from "Coming of Age Ceremony" complete with music playing from my phone. Tae leaned against the wall and watched, eyes entirely focused on me. When I got to the part where I did tiny hip thrusts, he snarled. My eyes got big and I smiled at his reaction.

"You are driving me crazy, Suni," he said in husky tones. "And what you are wearing..."

"Well, you told me to wear this," I reminded him, glancing down at my schoolgirl uniform. I knew he loved this short skirt. I could tell he enjoyed how it bounced up during certain sultry moves by the way he was staring and tapping the wall behind him forcefully.

When the song was over, he clapped slowly, took two quick strides toward me and pushed me gently up against the wall. His dominance aroused me. We closed our eyes as his lips met mine. His kiss was powerful. I felt it all the way down to my toes. His lips traveled down my neck as he spoke. "Mmm...teacher..."

"Did you do your homework?" I said with a grin.

Our lips met again. "Mmm-hmm. Ah...you smell delicious. Vanilla?"

"Yeah...but, babe," I cooed as I stretched my neck to give him more access, "what about dinner?"

"Is it ready?" His hands were now unbuttoning my shirt as he gnawed near my collarbone.

"Ten more minutes."

His gaze was upon me. "I know what we can do in ten minutes," he said, lust in his eyes. "Do you need me?"

That look was all it took to make me tingly inside. "Yeah, I need you." I pushed his jacket off him as I sang a line from BTS' "War of Hormone." "'Tell me what you want right now..."
