The Best daily skin care routine for glowing skin

Achieving glowing skin involves a consistent skincare routine, a healthy lifestyle, and attention to specific skincare products. A daily skin care routine is essential for maintaining healthy and radiant skin. Here's a daily skin care routine to help you achieve a radiant and glowing complexion:

Morning daily skin care Routine:  

Cleanser:

Start your day with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and excess oils. Cleansing prepares your skin to absorb the products you'll apply later.

Toner:

Use a hydrating or brightening toner to balance your skin's pH and provide an extra layer of hydration.

Vitamin C Serum:

Apply a vitamin C serum. Vitamin C can help brighten your skin, even out your skin tone, and provide antioxidant protection.

Eye Cream:

Apply an eye cream to target under-eye puffiness and dark circles.

Moisturizer:

Use a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture.

Sunscreen:

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Sunscreen is crucial for protecting your skin from UV damage and preventing premature aging.

Evening daily skin care Routine:  

Makeup Removal/Cleansing:

Remove makeup and cleanse your face using a gentle cleanser or a double cleansing method if you wear heavy makeup.

Exfoliation (2-3 times a week):

Exfoliate with a chemical exfoliant containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids (AHAs or BHAs) to remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter skin. Be cautious not to overdo it, as excessive exfoliation can irritate your skin.

Toner:

Use the same toner you used in the morning.

Treatment Serum:

Apply a serum with ingredients like retinol or niacinamide. Retinol can stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture, while niacinamide can help with pore size and overall texture.

Eye Cream:

Reapply your eye cream.

Moisturizer:

Use a slightly richer moisturizer in the evening to provide overnight hydration.

Optional : 

Face Oil : If your skin is dry, consider using a nourishing face oil before your moisturizer.

Weekly Treatments:

Sheet Masks: Use sheet masks with hydrating, brightening, or soothing ingredients once or twice a week.

Face Masks: Apply a clay or mud mask once a week to deep clean your pores and remove impurities.

Physical Exfoliation: Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating tool to remove dead skin cells, but be careful not to be too harsh.

Additional Tips for Glowing Skin:

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

Get enough sleep to allow your skin to rejuvenate.

Manage stress through relaxation techniques and mindfulness.

Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.

Consider regular exercise to improve blood circulation and overall skin health.

Remember that glowing skin takes time and consistent care. Be patient, and consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional if you have specific skin concerns or conditions. They can provide personalized advice and treatment options.

When to use vitamin C in a skincare routine

A Strong element in skincare, vitamin C is well-known for its capacity to defend against environmental damage, lighten skin, and minimize the appearance of black spots. To get the most out of Vitamin C, however, you may need to know when to incorporate it into your beauty regimen. Let’s examine when and how to include vitamin C in your regimen for optimal effects. Let’s talk about When to use vitamin C in a skincare routine.

Can Vitamin C Help Your Skin? What Is Vitamin C?

Water-soluble vitamin C, known as L-ascorbic acid, is naturally found in human skin. This super component can be found in skincare products, including Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Ascorbyl Glucoside, and ascorbic acid (pure Vitamin C).

Vitamin C is a common ingredient in cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and professional aesthetic treatments. It can be incorporated into any step of a skincare routine. Benefits of vitamin C for the skin include:

Lowering the appearance of wrinkles and discoloration.

Defending against environmental aggressors.

Assisting in the prevention and improvement of UV-induced photodamage. 

How Vitamin C Serum Is Used

You can maximize the benefits of your vitamin C serum by applying it correctly. Cleanse your skin well before beginning your regimen. If you want to further prepare your skin for the advantages of your vitamin C serum, you can use a toner afterward. After cleansing your skin, use your vitamin C serum and let it permeate before completing the look with a moisturizer. If you use a vitamin C serum during the day, especially in the winter or overcast days, don’t forget to wear an SPF!

What is the significance of vitamin C for skin health?

One of the thirteen vital nutrients your body requires to function is vitamin C. Within the body, vitamin C boosts the immune system and aids in iron absorption.

Being an antioxidant is one of the vitamin’s main marketing points. Free radicals are hazardous, unstable molecules that move throughout the body for an electron to balance them. Antioxidants are essential for defense against these chemicals.

Unfortunately, free radicals tend to “steal” electrons from other, balanced molecules because our bodies don’t have extras. When exposed to free radicals, antioxidants like vitamin C help maintain the health of your skin cells, saving the day.

How can vitamin C benefit the skin?

Vitamin C has advantages for the health of your skin as well. Its potent antioxidant qualities can fight against many of the oxidative stress-related indications of aging and help renew the skin. For example, topical vitamin C products can offer the following advantages when used regularly:

lowering the prominence of dark areas

when taken orally, supporting skin that looks youthful

skin tone appearance evenness, and skin brightness

reducing the appearance of redness (particularly in conjunction with ferulic acid)

Most people get used to vitamin C serum without any issues, although those with sensitive skin may first feel some irritation. Deciding when to utilize vitamin C serum involves lowering that likelihood. 

When should one apply vitamin C serum?

There is a perfect place for each skin care product in your regimen. While using a product outside that range won’t harm you, it will significantly reduce its effectiveness or render it useless altogether, ultimately a waste of money. When using vitamin C serum, there are two things to consider: the time of day and the stage of your routine. Dermatologists almost universally advise including vitamin C serum in your daily regimen.

This recommendation is based on the product’s capacity to shield skin. Not only is vitamin C a potent antioxidant, but it can also support sunscreen’s protective properties. It blocks UV rays that might get past your initial line of defense when applied in the morning before your SPF.

Using your vitamin C serum at night won’t harm you, but it could create skin sensitivity and irritation if it mixes with other nighttime skin care products. 

How can a skin care regimen incorporate vitamin C serum?

Planning the most advantageous and successful skin care regimen is also critical. While your skin care regimen may differ, following this morning routine style is a fantastic place to start.

CLEANER

Regardless of skin type or issues, a supportive cleanser is the first step in any excellent skin care regimen. Cleaning your skin is a must, even though your cleanser should be tailored to your unique skin type. Cleaning is the first step in removing build-up that prevents other items from working, such as sweat, makeup, and environmental debris.

EXFOLIANT

The next step is to exfoliate the skin after cleansing it. Exfoliants aid in further pore opening by removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. They also contribute to maintaining youthful-looking skin and lowering the risk of breakouts.

TYPE

Toning is the last stage in preparing the skin for treatments; it may contain components comparable to your exfoliant, such as AHAs and BHAs. Toners allow your pores to remain open, allowing your serums to penetrate even farther into your skin.

SERUMS

It’s time to apply your vitamin C serum after toning your skin! Serums containing vitamin C, such as our 10% L-ascorbic acid Glow Factor, work best when they penetrate the pores deeply and produce noticeable results. They also work well with serums that contain hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, such as our Youth Serum (which you can purchase combined here). Apply the thinnest consistency serum first as a general rule of thumb, and always wait for them to dry before continuing.

HYDRATING AGENT

You must apply a moisturizing moisturizer to seal the deal after your treatments are finished and dry. Moisture is what your skin begs for and requires to maintain a robust skin barrier and resilient skin. Pay attention to this step because hydrated skin also looks vibrant and glowy! Dry skin makes wrinkles and fine lines more noticeable and hinders the skin’s natural ability to repair. Adding moisture is essential.

SUNSCREEN

It would help to always use sun protection as the last step in your morning skincare routine. Sun damage is the leading cause of skin ageing but is also one of the most preventable external factors.

To sum up…

Making the most of this fantastic skin care ingredient requires figuring out when to integrate your vitamin C serum into your regimen and at the proper time of day. When used correctly, vitamin C may transform your skin, making it clear, youthful, and dewy.

It can even supplement your sunscreen and provide additional sun protection if applied frequently. Let our skincare experts help you find your new holy grail goods if you have any queries about the current regimen or are ready to change. We will support you at every turn.

GLOW UP GUIDE FOR 2025⠀

READ: On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact. And considering that 2025 is precisely these many days away, why not start with our glow up plan already?

Physical Glow Up-

BODY

— 5-10K steps a day.

— 7-8 hours of sleep.

— no junk/processed food/trans fat.

— no eating after 8 pm.

SKINCARE

— be clear on your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive).

— once you're clear, use these accordingly- cleanser, toner, targeted serum, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen (≥50 spf).

— keep your bedding clean as well.

— no picking of skin on your lips, cuticle etc.

— gua sha to help improve blood circulation and lessen toxins.

— cold therapy may take three to five minutes of being uncomfortable, but your energy levels will be boosted for the rest of the day.

BODY CARE

— shower every day.

— exfoliate 2x a week.

HAIR CARE

— glycolic acid under arm for odor and discoloration.

— never use soap on your coochie.

Mental Glow Up-

MINDSET

— set clear goals- define and breakdown your aspirations.

— start your mornings with positive affirmations.

— surround yourself with uplifting content and people.

— be shamelessly selfish to your career and mental health, remove anyone or anything that doesn't align with your priorities and wellbeing.

— boost your brain health by these 4 neuroscience tools:

difficult first: start your day with the most difficult task (cortisol and dopamine are high in the body meaning that your body/mind is primed to work).

rest your eyes: introduce a micro-pause after learning by resting/closing your eyes - will help retain information better.

tomorrow's worries: write tomorrow's to-do list before bed as it is proven to be effective in helping you fall asleep.

find time to play: engage in low-stake play. can be anything you find fun but where the outcome doesn't matter (induces neuroplasticity + reduces stress).

MIND

— meditation might take as low as ten minutes, but your focus will be improved for the rest of the day.

— no social media after waking up and at least an hour before bed.

— keep aside 1 hr of time to read daily! reading a new book may take five hours, but you will keep the knowledge forever.

— journaling, gratitude.

— digital detox once a week or for 12 hours.

— limit unnecessary screentime, unfollow or cut off people you don't want to see.

JOURNALING

— choose a regular time each day to journal, making it a part of your routine.

— find a quiet, comfortable place free from distractions. light a candle if you want.

— allow your thoughts to flow without censoring or editing.

— write about your feelings and emotions to understand them better. write about things you are thankful for to boost your mood. write about your short-term and long-term goals. identify what triggers certain emotions or reactions

— set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write continuously during that time.

— reflect on both positive experiences and challenges.

— make lists, journal your thoughts on these questions.

— journal at night to clear your mind before bedtime, because emotions and thoughts lose their power once we acknowledge them.

— a gratitude practice may take five minutes, but your mindset will be shifted for the rest of the day.

AFFIRMATIONS

— customise affirmations to your needs.

Personal Life-

WEEKLY TASKS

— initiate small changes: begin with small, manageable tasks such as making your bed or cleaning your room every sunday.

— celebrate your success: reward yourself when you achieve your goals or have a consistently productive week. consider treats like buying flowers for yourself or watching your favorite show.

DAILY WORK

— set achievable goals: establish realistic goals for the day, week, or month ahead.

— track your progress.

— organise your work space, declutter your shelves etc.

— embrace the power of lists: keep a list of tasks to be done and their deadlines. this way, you start each day with a clear plan. to make it visually appealing and motivating, consider using productivity apps like evernote, habit tracker, or notion.

PRODUCTIVITY TIPS

— wake up early.

— plan ahead everything, do scheduling. you can use:

google calendar / notion / tasks .

— if the task takes less than 2 minutes to finish, do it immediately.

— countdown rule, if you are procrastinating, count 1-2-3-4-5 and jump.

waking up in simon's riley bed, a one time meeting with a stranger in a bar that ended with a sex, a one time thing, after which you usually leave, but this morning is different in many ways from past similar situations, the absence of a man's body on your side, not even a note, an empty, wide bedroom without your belongings that you can't find anywhere, not even your underwear.

with your body aching, from the engraved imprints of his fingers on your skin, the ravenous dents his teeth's left, on the delicate curve of your neck, blossoming with freshly made bruises his mouth made, between your supple thighs, where everything strains at your little, stiff movements, muscles sore and your pussy swollen from being ravaged till the last drop.

you're too far deep in your thoughts, in the clouding confusion of where your things gone, that you don't notice the muffled wooden thud of the kitchen's cupboard outside the bedroom, before the door flings open, making you freeze in the middle of a room as bare as you are, meeting the dark pools of eyes in front of you, framed by the quiver of pale eyelashes.

he's a pretty man, under tawny eyes smudged violet, sunken into his skin all together, tuts of cropped hair still tousled after the sleep, sticking into different directions to meet the pale, filtering glow of sunshine from the window, and you only notice that he studies you as well when you meet his sunlighted gaze again, naked body shuddering from the depths of the rotting hunger you see there, the one that stretches it's feelers towards you.

simon croons hoarsely, about what a pretty sight you are, much more timid than the night before, and you see the scorching, crescent marks of your nails along the scarred expanse of his cast muscled chest, feel yourself grow more shy, the rising warmth of flush along your body, speckling with goosebumps, as he crosses the distance between you two in what seems like two steps.

you know you need to leave, ask him for your clothes, maybe tell that you're sorry, but there's nothing more to await, but his trained eyes burn a path up and down your legs, where your thighs meet together when you feel something leak out, oozing in glistening streaks down your skin, his fingers swooping down to collect the pearly drops, before smudging them against your puffy folds, meeting your hiccuping gasp with a low growl of his own.

his cum, he shoves it back in your already fluttering hole, embarrassingly wet, warm as you clench instinctively around the intrusioning, thick digits, your hands clawing their way up to grasp at his wide shoulders, sinking in the pale skin, knocking your forehead against his chest, before simon moves his hand away, fingers pulling out from your loose hole, smeared wet, as he scoops you up.

still naked, with your pussy now throbbing from the stretch, making your senses frizz at the ends, he cradles you against his burly form and carries you out of the room, there's an appetizing aromas wafting through the air, luring you into the kitchen he carries you in, where a fresh, hearty breakfast is already served on the dining table, waiting only for you, as simon settles you on the high stool.

in front of the filled plate and with a wet kiss pressed at your neck, he brings you closer to the table, plopping beside with a subtle squeeze at the curve of your waist, hands greedy, as he urges you to eat, as if you pick up your fork now and let yourself sink into this strange, morning routine, you wouldn't be able to leave anymore, and that's been simon's plan since that night at the bar.

The Art of Healthy Skincare: Crafting Radiant Beauty

Skincare is a transforming and age-old practise that goes beyond simple self-care. It's a form of expression, a symphony of nourishing elements and rituals that open the door to beautiful, healthy skin. The practise of healthy skincare is more than just a daily regimen; it's a path to greater self-assurance, wellbeing, and outward attractiveness.

Skin: The Canvas of Beauty

The greatest organ of the body, our skin, acts as the canvas for this artwork. It offers the framework on which all other facets of beauty might blossom, much like a painter's canvas. A beautiful smile can be the star of the show thanks to healthy skin, which also makes it easier for cosmetics to apply effortlessly.

Products & Ingredients from "The Skincare Palette"

The skincare items we select become the hues on our colour palette. The basic colours are made up of cleansers, serums, moisturisers, and sunscreens. These items must to be chosen with extreme care, taking into account our individual skin type and problems. The creativity of skincare starts with these decisions.

Ingredients are the colours that give our canvas life. They offer the essential elements to keep a complexion looking young and healthy, from moisturising hyaluronic acid to renewing retinol. Each component has special qualities and advantages that we can combine to make the ideal skincare masterpiece.

Routines and Methods: The Brushstrokes

The strokes of this artistic journey are skincare routines. Like a painter's brush sliding across a painting, the meticulous application of ingredients, the delicate rubbing of the skin, and the pauses to enjoy each stage. Similar to the deliberate, meticulous strokes of an artist, consistency in these rituals yields the best results.

The Soul of the Artist: The Element of Self-Care

The core of the artist's soul in skincare is self-care. It is a dedication to one's physical and emotional well-being. Skincare rituals turn into a haven, a place for introspection, self-acceptance, and love of oneself. We gain the courage to show off our genuine beauty, both inside and out, at these times of self-care.

The Personalization of Each Canvas Makes It Unique

Every canvas is different, just like every person's skin. The practise of skincare accepts this uniqueness and promotes customization. It's entirely acceptable for what works for one person to not work for another. While acknowledging that there is no universally effective treatment, the art of skincare welcomes variety by catering to various needs and concerns.

A Lifelong Journey of Artistry in Conclusion

Healthy skincare is an ongoing learning process. It's a celebration of uniqueness, self-expression, and the quest for brilliance. We modify and improve our skincare routines in the same way that an artist constantly improves their profession. Every day offers the chance to produce a fresh work of art that captures the distinct beauty of our always changing canvas. Self-acceptance and self-confidence are the arts of healthy skincare.

post arguement — park sunghoon

pairing: bf!sunghoon x fem!reader

genre: angst (resolved), fluff

synopsis: waking up the next day after an argument, sunghoon is a little shy to ask you to follow up your daily routine together.

• help palestine, click me

sunghoon had always been the quiet type, never one to express too much, but last night’s argument was different.

it left an uncomfortable tension lingering between you two, something neither of you were used to. you tossed and turned in bed, unable to find peace, the memory of harsh words replaying in your mind like a broken record.

the morning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. you had barely slept, your mind restless with unresolved thoughts.

you felt a soft nudge on your arm, and as you blinked your eyes open, there was sunghoon, standing beside the bed, his expression unreadable, a mix of uncertainty and something else you couldn’t quite place.

he hesitated for a moment, as if he was trying to find the right words. “can you… do that thing?” he finally mumbled, his voice barely above a whisper, his gaze flickering away from yours.

it was unlike him to ask for anything, especially after a fight, but you knew what he meant. every morning, without fail, you’d apply his skincare for him, a small act that had somehow become your routine.

you let out a sleepy groan, turning away from him and pulling the covers over your head. “not today, hoon,” you murmured, your voice muffled, teasing him just a little, but deep down, you knew you couldn’t actually refuse him.

he stood there for a moment, the silence stretching out between you two.

“please?” he added, a little softer this time, a rare vulnerability in his voice that made your heart soften. it wasn’t like him to ask twice.

you sighed softly, sitting up and pushing the covers off. “fine,” you said, rolling your eyes playfully as you climbed out of bed.

“but only because you said please.” despite the remnants of last night’s argument hanging in the air, you didn’t have it in you to say no to him. maybe this was his way of making peace, in the only way he knew how.

“thanks,” he mumbled, almost too quiet to hear, but you caught the sincerity in his voice.

you slipped out of bed, your feet padding softly on the cold floor as you headed to the small vanity where you kept the skincare products.

sunghoon followed you, his steps equally soft, almost as if he was afraid to break the fragile silence that had settled between you two.

“you know, you could’ve just done it yourself today,” you teased lightly, grabbing the moisturizer and turning to face him.

he shook his head, sitting down on the edge of the bed.

“it’s not the same,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper, his gaze fixed on the floor. it was rare for him to be this open, and it made you pause for a second.

you motioned for him to sit properly, and he complied, scooting back a bit so he was closer to you.

you took a deep breath, your hands working automatically as you unscrewed the cap of his moisturizer. the familiar scent filled the space between you, and for a moment, it felt like everything was back to normal.

“you’re such a baby, you know that?” you said, your tone playful as you smoothed the cream onto your fingers.

“only for you,” he replied, his lips curving into the smallest of smiles, and you felt your heart skip a beat.

you gently applied the moisturizer to his face, your touch soft and careful, as if you were trying to erase the harshness of the previous night with every gentle swipe.

sunghoon’s eyes closed, his face relaxing under your touch, and you could feel the tension slowly melting away.

neither of you spoke, the silence was heavy but not uncomfortable. it was the kind of silence that spoke volumes, the kind that said everything you both were too afraid to put into words.

you finished with the moisturizer, your fingers lingering on his skin for a moment longer before you pulled away.

but instead of standing back up, you suddenly decided to straddle his lap, settling yourself comfortably as you faced him. his eyes flew open, a hint of surprise in them as you smiled down at him, your hands resting on his shoulders.

“what are you doing?” he asked, his voice a little shaky, clearly flustered by your sudden proximity.

“just making sure you’re not going anywhere,” you teased, leaning in to smooth out the moisturizer on his forehead.

you could feel the warmth of his body beneath you, his breath hitching slightly as your fingers grazed his skin.

sunghoon was trying hard to keep his composure, but you could see the faint blush creeping up his neck, spreading to his cheeks.

“you’re really… close,” he mumbled, his hands hesitantly finding their way to your waist, unsure of where to put them.

“is that a problem?” you asked, your tone teasing as you finished up with his skincare, your hands lingering on his cheeks for a moment longer.

he shook his head, his eyes flickering up to meet yours for just a second before they darted away again. “no… it’s just… different,” he admitted, his voice barely audible, but you caught the shy smile playing on his lips.

you leaned in closer, your face just inches from his, your breath mingling with his as you whispered, “different can be good, you know.”

he didn’t respond, but you could see the way his eyes softened, the way his hands tightened slightly around your waist, holding you just a little closer.

“about last night…” he started, his voice hesitant, his gaze flickering to the side, avoiding yours. “i’m… i didn’t mean to make you upset.”

you felt a small smile tug at your lips, his awkwardness endearing. “i know,” you replied softly, reaching out to take his hand, squeezing it gently.

“i’m sorry too, i shouldn’t have snapped at you.”

he finally looked back at you, a hint of relief in his eyes.

“we’re okay, right?” he asked, his voice quiet, almost as if he was afraid of your answer.

“yeah, we’re okay,” you reassured him, giving his hand another squeeze. “just… try not to be such a grump next time, okay?”

he huffed out a small laugh, the tension finally breaking.

“i’ll try,” he promised, a shy smile playing on his lips.

for a moment, you just sat there, side by side, the morning light wrapping around you like a gentle embrace.

and though the argument wasn’t entirely forgotten, the weight of it had lessened, replaced by the quiet understanding that you’d work through it together, just like you always did.

10 of my favorite easy glow up tips! 𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅

get a gua sha!! not expensive at all and made such a difference in my face shape and carving out my cheek bones and jawline. there’s lots of good tutorials on tiktok or youtube!

tea in the morning/night! there’s so many teas to help with different things but my favorite’s are spearmint tea for clearing skin and green tea for reducing bloating.

ice your face! helps SO much with de-puffing and closing up your pores! dipping your face in a bowl with ice water can reduce inflammation, help with acne and reduce oily skin!

make sure to get enough sleep! It’s so easy to stay up scrolling on tumblr until the sun comes up but getting enough sleep is so important mentally and physically!

find a skincare routine that works for you and remember too much skincare can be bad for your skin! my skin was breaking out the worst when i was using a bunch of skincare and It’s cleared so much since i simplified my routine.

use a lash/brow serum! my favorite brand is grande lash and it’s a little pricey but using castor oil works as well and it’s super affordable.

going on walks! I’ve never been a fan of intense exercises and I’m a chronic bed rotter but putting on my favorite hot girl playlist and strutting on the treadmill/sidewalk is genuinely so fun!

rosemary oil for hair growth! my holy grail of hair growth products along with a scalp massager. my whole life my hair grew so slow and since using rosemary oil i have to trim my bangs twice a month sometimes!

i cannot stress this one enough..wear what YOU want! don’t let new trends or judgment from others stop you from embracing your true style. we look our best when we feel most confident!

most importantly ~ take care of yourself! make sure you’re eating enough, drinking water, listening to your body and being gentle with yourself always. improving ourselves can be so fun but make sure it’s not at the expense of your mental health <3

ceo sunghoon who loves taking care of you because you're his ౨ৎ

warnings. smut, fluff, age gap (sunghoon!30s & reader!20s), swearing, dirty talk, pet names (ex. princess), unprotected sex, big dick p.sh, praising, light degrading, sweet talking

you’re just a girl. a college girl who’s broke and working part time to gather up whatever you can make to pay off your tuition and other fees. this has been a routine in your life for a while. that was until you met sunghoon.

you got involved with this man unintentionally. while working at a local cafe, he ordered a small black coffee. this man was attractive. like.. very attractive. his blanched skin equated perfectly with his black, dapper full suit. bangs parted perfectly over his forehead which were accompanied by the thin glasses he wore.

while he scrolled on his phone you stole a few glances as you poured his coffee. when he reaches to grab the plastic cup, you easily get distracted by the beaming rolex on his wrist and boom. you spill the coffee all over the counter.

“shit. did it get on you?” the man asks while he slips his phone into his pocket. he doesn't seem pissed but you still palm your heating face, shaking your head at his question. but even after explaining that he was running late for a meeting, he helps you clean your mess.

“i’m park sunghoon. and you?” the man breaks the awkward silence and never breaks eye contact. even when he grabs the coffee from your tense hand, fingers grazing against yours to grip the cup so he can prevent it from spilling again.

“i’m y/n.” you say with a small, nervous smile.

“gorgeous name.”

and like that, sunghoon was hooked. you were charming, and gorgeous. and so the cafe you worked at became his favorite. he would order the same small sized black coffee.

“how can you drink plain black coffee every morning?” you ask sunghoon as he sips from his cup. his lean frame hovers over the counter while you wipe the same spot repeatedly to keep your mind from spiraling.

“keeps me busy, princess.” he simply answers. when he tells you that he’s the ceo of a family-owned business, it all makes sense.

soon, you both exchanged contacts which blossomed into a thing. a thing where he pays for your tuition and anything else you need and you repay him with sex. it’s that situation. and you would’ve hated it if the circumstances were different. but you were fucking a rich, hot ceo with the biggest dick ever. you wouldn’t change that for anything.

stepping outside after clocking out, you see that familiar tesla parked and waiting for you. the whiskey smell of sunghoon’s cologne immediately hits you when you get inside his car. his scent never fails to calm you after long hours of being around coffee.

“d’you like this, princess?” sunghoon whips out a small box with a gorgeous heart pendant inside. your heart thumps at the sight, blood rushing to your cheeks as you take the box into your hands. you catch a glimpse at the price sticker.

“it’s so beautiful. but the price is..” you’re interrupted with a peck on your cheek.

“i’ve spent way more on you, pretty. this ain’t nothing.” taking the pendant out of the box, “turn around f'me..”

it’s embarrassing how fast he gets aroused when he sees how pretty the pendant looks on you and how it contrasts with your glowing skin.

“looks pretty on me?” you ask, slightly pulling the collar of your shirt down to show the pendant on your chest.

sunghoon nods. “let’s go back to my place.”

“n-now?”

“mhm,” he pauses for a minute, “or do you wanna get fucked here?”

your stomach churns at his arousing words and you clench your thighs together. you wouldn’t mind it. instead you found yourself sprawled out on his bed. his hot, heavy body on top of you.

you can feel every vein on his big cock grinding against your walls with each thrust, his swollen tip abusing that sensitive spot deep within you.

you’re being fucked dumb. you couldn’t even remember to swallow which had you drooling. in a panic, you reach to grasp onto his arms in hopes of him slowing down, but he doesn’t.

“move your hands, princess. i gotchu.” sunghoon grunts with shivering breaths following afterwards. he observes how his cock can barely fit in your dripping cunt, how he can barely bottom out. he groans at the sight.

“hoon.. i can’t.. fuckfuckfuck.” you sob, turning your head away from him.

sunghoon tsks, “unt uh. let me see your face.” he grabs your cheeks and yanks your head towards him, squishing them together and chuckling at your muffled moans.

he traces his thumb over your swollen lips and shoves it in your mouth. that same hand travels down to your tits and he rubs over your hardened nipples. sunghoon slows his hips and focuses more on his rhythm.

“you’re so wet,” he groans, absolutely loving how much you're squirming and crying underneath him, “so gorgeous. all for me.”

“j-just for you, hoonie.. feels so good. so big..” you slur. and you can tell he’s close from his sloppy thrusts and unsteady breaths.

sunghoon nuzzles his face into your neck, licking and kissing at your skin just near the pendant he got you. fuck. he’s so obsessed with you. how’d he get so damn lucky?

“princess, say you love me.” he whimpers, wet lips still on your neck.

you stomach churns at his words. and you could feel your own orgasm building from the desperation in his voice.

“love you so much, so so much..” you whimper, clenching hard around him as that spring coils tightly and releases. you cum hard around him with a shuttered cry, vision fading to black.

“fuuuck.” sunghoon spills his thick, sticky cum deep inside your womb, rocking his hips against you while he chases his orgasm.

“you should quit your job.” sunghoon says.

“what?” he stops cooking and turns to you in confusion. you had thought that he understood that you weren’t, unfortunately, wealthy like him and needed that job for the money.

“did you forget, princess? you got me now.”

“i’d rather us date before risking that..” you say, biting back your lip nervously in hopes that he doesn’t get upset. but he only chuckles.

“then let’s date.” sunghoon smiles.
