The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melody grumbled.
Lucas nodded. "Then don't use perfume. I like this scent on you," said Lucas.
Melody rolled her eyes and tugged at her clothes.
Lucas, distracted, was caught off-guard and stumbled when she pulled, causing both of them to fall onto the sofa.
"Ouch-"
Lucas quickly covered Melody's head to protect her, but his own palm grazed against the armrest.
"Melody, you're back! What happened? Why won't you two tell us anything?" Beatrice's voice came from the doorway.
Before the two could react, she anxiously pushed the door open.
"Grandma?!"
Melody, pressed beneath Lucas, tried to get up in a bit of panic, but Lucas remained motionless.
Their actions were extremely ambiguous, especially considering that Melody's clothes were torn. She nudged Lucas' chest. "Quick, get up! Grandma is here!"
"Hi, Grandma," called out Lucas absent-mindedly.
Beatrice smiled in coy satisfaction.
"Oh, my! You two lovebirds continue. I'm not an old-fashioned person. I'll ask you later when you're done."
"Uh... Grandma, you've misunderstood. Lucas and I are not-"
Beatrice left even faster than she barged in, as if afraid of delaying them.
Melody sighed dejectedly and gently pushed Lucas. "It's all your fault. Grandma must've gotten the wrong idea! She thought we were doing...well... Oh, this is really hard to clear up now." Melody's punch felt like nothing to Lucas.
He wrapped Melody's hand in his own. "Why are your hands so small? You can't even hurt a fly with this."
Melody felt her face getting hotter. "S-Stop it. I don't need you to tell me I'm weak again. You're amazing, the most incredible man in the world, okay?"
Lucas chuckled. He rarely laughed like this, and at that moment, his laughter was both rare and mesmerizing.
Melody was surprised. She did not expect that someone who usually wore such a stern expression could be so charming when he laughed. She found herself captivated by him.
After having laughed enough, Lucas laid down beside her.
Melody blinked. "Why didn't you get off me? We could've avoided Grandma misunderstanding us just now..."

"So you did that on purpose?" Melody clenched her fingers where he could not see. 'Did he intentionally not get upfrom me when Grandma entered the room? Was it just to make Grandma believe even more that they were a married couple?' Visit

She could not afford to lose herself.
Thinking of this, the warmth on Melody's face quickly receded. She turned her
face aside and pushed Lucas' hand away.
"It's getting late, and I'm a bit tired. I'd like to wash up if you don't mind."
