It'll Come Naturally

"It surprises me and makes me very happy that you care very much for our little princess. I hope that you can always be this good to her. Even if you know that she may never be pregnant, you should always love her and treasure her. Because she is the most precious person in our hearts, and no one else could replace her." Rain probably had already gotten drunk, otherwise he wouldn't be so negligent and spill the beans to Kevin. His tongue got too loose too soon. "Huh? Wait... What did you say? Who may never be pregnant?" The alcohol had started to kick in and Kevin was a little dazed. He was already zoning out at the moment, that was why he didn't hear it clearly.

"What pregnant? I never said pregnant. I said that Leena was very precious to us. Come on, let's drink some more." Rain momentarily became sober as he accidentally blurted out Leena's secret. Fortunately, Kevin didn't clearly understand because of the alcohol and Rain was quick enough to rebound and cover it up. But in his own honest opinion, he believed that Kevin should be informed of such an important thing. But Leena insisted that they help her hide it from her husband. She just wasn't ready to ruin Kevin's happiness and bliss with such bad news, choosing to keep the pains and sorrows to herself.

"No, that's not right. I know you said 'precious', But I know that I heard you say something like pregnant as well." Kevin frowned and tried to remember what Rain said exactly but he couldn't. Was he really drunk? The alcohol might have blanked his memory and that was why he might have misheard Rain.

"Aww, Come on! Let's just keep drinking. Any way, thank you for taking care of our precious Leena," Rain hurriedly tried to steer the conversation away from a potential disaster. He couldn't let Kevin sense that something was amiss.

The drinking session ended with both men so drunk that they almost couldn't get up from the couch. Leena couldn't let Rain go home like this, so she made him stay in the guest room for the night.

"Annie..." Rain mumbled. One could feel how much he loved her in the endearing way he called out her name.

Leena bit her lips. Although she felt so sorry for her brother being so heartbroken, she couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't make Annie appear right in front of him. What she could do now was only to kiss him gently on his forehead to console him. Then she tucked him in before she walked out of the room.

"And as for you, dear husband. Let's go upstairs!" Leena helped Kevin stand up. She knew all along that she would be the one who had to handle all the mess and take care of them after the drinking. And it turned out she was right.

"Nana, don't move." Kevin was really drunk this time. He couldn't see her clearly now. He reached out his hand and tried to touch her beautiful face, but Leena was still a few feet away. He touched nothing but air.

"I'm not moving. You're so drunk that everything is spinning around you. I told you not to drink too much. But you didn't listen. And now you're a mess!" Leena stared at him, pretty vexed. But even so, her tone of speaking showed more love than blame.

"I'm not drunk. Maybe you're drunk! Nana, you smell so good." As Leena struggled to pull Kevin up, he tucked his head into her neck and breathed her in, savoring the fragrance that emanated from her..

"Hey! Watch your step! Or we would both fall down the stairs. My, you're heavy!" Leena snapped. One of them missed and almost slipped. Thanks to Kevin who grasped the handrails or they would have rolled down the stairs. Leena wondered whether Kevin was really drunk or he was just faking it. Because he reacted so swiftly even when he appeared to be zombie-like drunk.

"Nana, you don't... believe me? Don't you know who I am? I am a gallant... soldier and a major general of the army. How could I possibly let... you fall?" Kevin said seriously. But the hiccups coming out from his mouth made his words less convincing to Leena.

"Yes, yes, Major General Gu, I definitely believe you, and I trust you with my life....wait, no, that's the closet! Our bedroom is over here!" Leena tried her best to steer her confused husband to the right room. "The problem is that now you are so drunk that you can't even find your way in your own house!" Leena narrowed her eyes and stared at him. Although she wasn't too happy that her husband was hammered now, she wasn't expecting that he would get along very well with Rain. She was reluctantly thankful for the alcohol. As the saying went, there were no permanent enemies on tables where wine was served. Countless times, alcohol had helped break the ice and was now fondly called a social lubricant.

"Huh! So you don't... believe in me?" Still with hiccups, Kevin said as he suddenly circled his arms around her waist, followed with passionate kisses on her full and luscious lips.

"Hummmppp.." Leena was taken aback and was reluctant to let his tongue in. She was completely unprepared as Kevin stole a deep kiss. In order not to fall down, she hurriedly grabbed the top of the stair railings to keep balance and at the same time tried to breathe as a certain military officer tried to stuff her mouth with his.

"Honey, you really don't believe in me." Kevin suddenly stopped and let her go. He was hurt by her unwitting resistance.

"Well... It's not like that," Leena tried to explain. She knew she might have hurt his pride. But it was not because she didn't trust in him. It was only a movement by instinct in the face of danger.

"Then kiss me," Kevin looked deeply into her eyes and suddenly ordered her.

"Oh! Out here in the hallway?" Leena was stunned. She glanced at the stairs and looked hesitantly. Although Rain was drunk, she still worried that he might suddenly appear. "What else do you think?" Kevin suddenly became sulky and stubborn just like a child. No one knew what was on his mind now. He was just making a fuss.

"Let's go to our room first, okay?" Leena frowned and refused subconsciously. He never behaved aggressively like this before. Leena wondered what happened to him tonight. "No, I just want to do it here, right here," Kevin insisted, unwilling to compromise. He looked intensely at her with his blurry eyes and rested his gaze firmly on her luscious lips.

"Haha! Kevin, what happened to you tonight? You are acting like a kid!" Leena laughed. The Kevin before her now was not the one she knew. He was confronting her with raised eyebrows, together with a tinge of charm and childishness. This was not like him at all.. "Don't try to distract me. I will not fall into your trap of manipulation." Kevin firmed his grasp and pulled her closer to him. He looked deep into her eyes, his face becoming red and hot and his eyes flashing with passion and fire.

Leena exhaled deeply and took a look at the downstairs again. Then she tiptoed and timidly planted a quick kiss on his thin lips, the way a dragonfly would skim the surface of the water.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
