However, instead of explaining in detail, Dylan answered shortly.
“Yeah.”
“That’s a big deal. What if you wear yourself out?”
Lola paused her fingers that were pressing on his forehead and frowned.
“What’s there to worry about? There’s a good doctor here. If I get sick, you can treat me.”
“Still, I don’t want you to be sick.”
There was deep concern in her voice. Although he didn’t mind it much, Dylan quickly reassured her.
“I’m very healthy. You shouldn’t get sick either.”
“I’m healthy, too.”
As Lola refused to back down, the corners of Dylan’s mouth curved up.
“It feels refreshing.”
When he suddenly exclaimed that, Lola looked puzzled.
“It feels refreshing because you’re massaging me.”
“Oh.”
Lola pressed down harder with her hands on his head and forehead.
“Is there anywhere else that feels tense or uncomfortable?”
“I think it would feel even better and nicer if you kissed me.”
‘Oh, this man!’
He had already stolen kisses several times while suggesting they eat cake together, and now he was saying this again.
Rolling her eyes in disbelief, Lola leaned in shyly and pressed her lips against his.
However, Dylan was not someone who would be easily satisfied with a light kiss.
He reached out, grabbed her face, and began to savor the inside of her mouth, which was sweeter than the cake, exploring every corner.
Once was not enough to quench his thirst, twice didn’t satisfy him, and three times left him wanting more.
So they shared a long, hot, and deep kiss.
The bright moon hung in the sky, as bright, round, and radiant as the night they had shared their first kiss.

These days, Lola and Gia were both so busy that they couldn’t sit side by side and chat like before.
Gia had recently taken on two patients with serious personality disorders, which meant she had to frequently go in and out of the ward, and Lola’s situation was not much different.
The patient with alcohol dependence would often cause a ruckus in the ward, and every time that happened, the nurses and junior residents would notify Lola.
When emergency patients came rushing in all at once, it was truly like a battlefield.
Finally, after having lunch today, they found a moment to sit side by side on a bench and chat briefly.
“I’ve seen you a few times at the hospital lately. Does our Dylan still come often?”
He must be busy preparing for the wedding by now.
In the midst of all this, Gia asked because she had seen her brother at the hospital a few times.
“The professor who taught Dylan is hospitalized.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Hey, Gia.”
“Yeah?”
Gia’s questioning gaze lingered on Lola, who seemed like she wanted to say something.
“What do you think about living together?”
The date he had set for them to live together was approaching fast.
So, feeling nervous, excited, and a bit hesitant, Lola decided to seek advice from Gia, who had experience.
After all, whether it was marriage or cohabitation, it meant that two people would be living together in one house.
Gia was already married and had children, so she probably knew more than Lola did.
“Living together? Why? Did our Dylan suggest living together?”
“…….”
Lola didn’t respond positively, but Gia seemed to have already read the answer from her expression.
“Wow! Our Dylan is surprisingly naughty.”
At Gia’s words, a suggestive scene flashed in Lola’s mind, and her face quickly turned red. Gia’s eyes narrowed mischievously.
“Oh my! But Lola, why is your face so red?”
Seeing Gia teasing her, Lola regretted bringing up a topic that would only lead to embarrassment.
“Kids these days.”
Lola rolled her eyes playfully and lightly tapped Gia’s arm twice.
“So, did you answer?”
How could she not answer?
You probably don’t know how good your brother is at charming women.
Lola didn’t respond, but Gia seemed to have already figured it out.
“When are you moving in?”
“This week….”
“What?”
Gia’s eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn’t close her mouth.
“Oh my, oh my!”
It seemed that her brother was in quite a hurry.
Gia was surprised, but on the other hand, she thought it was a good thing.
After all, the two were getting married soon, so living together early wouldn’t be a problem.
Suddenly, a good idea popped into her head, and Gia asked suggestively.
“Lola, how about we go somewhere nice before that?”
“Somewhere nice?”
“I’ve always wanted to take you somewhere before you get married.”
Suddenly, Gia, who had moved closer to Lola, wrapped her arm around Lola’s and whispered as if sharing a secret.
Lola was curious.
“Where is that?”
“Have you ever been to a cocktail bar?”
“No.”
She had only heard of it but had never been, so she thought a cocktail bar was just a place to drink.
