Page 46 of Gumiho Kiss
How to kiss him without him knowing that was my intention:
1.Wait until he’s unaware
2.Make it look like an accident
3.Get him drunk- too much potential for embarrassment to even attempt
4.Kiss him while in disguise- too risky
5.???
Chin Sun was grateful she’d only written “him” at the top; it looked like she was trying to work up the courage to kiss her betrothed, something Sang Mi would heartily approve of.
“Well?”Chin Sun finally asked.
Sang Mi set the paper on the table and grinned.“Unni, I had no idea you were so interested in this.And before your wedding, too.”
Chin Sun glared despite the heat in her face.“Are you going to help me or just tease?”
The mischief vanished from Sang Mi’s gaze, snuffed out by a confident determination.“Oh, I’m going to help you.And you’re going to get your kiss; I guarantee it.”
Chin Sun’s muscles relaxed.Finally, some good news.“Do you have an idea then?”
Sang Mi nodded, then held up a finger.“But first, I have a question: why are you trying so hard to think of a way to kisshim?”When Chin Sun gave her a confused look, she giggled.“What you need to do is get him to kissyou.”
Chin Sun’s eyes went wide, her mouth opening and closing like a fish’s.“Wha—you—you think I should?—”
She shook her head.No.Mr.Park would never?—
Her mind flew back to his arms around her in the clearing.In the split second before he’d set her on her feet, something had flashed in his dark gaze, something that had made her knees go weak and her eyelids close.
She’d thought about it so many times, telling herself it had been her imagination.They’d only just agreed that they were friends.He couldn’t have been about to kiss her.He couldn’t have....
But no matter how many times she reasoned with herself, she couldn’t erase the desire she’d seen in his eyes.
Sang Mi clapped her hands together, startling Chin Sun so much that she jumped.“What perfect timing this is.”
Chin Sun pressed a hand to her racing heart.“What do you mean?”
Sang Mi’s face was impish.She pulled a letter out from one of her wide sleeves.“I was actually coming here to give you this.It’s from Young Master Kang.”
Chin Sun’s forehead scrunched, but then she remembered Sang Mi thought the kiss was intended for Kang Dol Sam.She feigned a look somewhere between eagerness and anxiety as she grasped the missive and slowly unfolded it.
My dearest Lady Lee,
I hope this letter finds you well and fully recovered after the vigilante attack.I?—
Chin Sun clenched the paper a bit tighter.How many times did she have to say Gwishin hadn’t been involved in the murder?
She went back to reading.
—would like to meet with you tomorrow night.I know it’s improper, but I have to see you.Park Hyun Soo knows the place and will escort you there safely.Please come.
Kang Dol Sam
Chin Sun’s arm fell to her side.He wanted to meet her?Before they were married?
Sang Mi was watching her as if she could barely hold back a squeal.“I told you the timing was perfect.”
