By Zephyria Yu-jin carefully opened Winston’s door. The faintly felt pheromone scent intensified at once. It seemed to represent the presence of the owner who was not there now. He swallowed dryly without realizing it and cautiously stepped into the room. For some reason, he felt a sense of transgression, as if he were entering a forbidden place, and he became nervous.
Haa…….
He deliberately took a deep breath and moved slowly. His gaze, which had slowly scanned the room, finally fixed on the bed. He gulped, and the sound of his rough pulse seemed to echo in his ears. Winston sleeps here. Thinking that, his heart felt like it would burst.
Carefully climbing onto the bed, Yu-jin closed his eyes for a moment and calmed his breathing. If he stayed like that, he felt like he would faint before Winston came. Hoo, hoo, with each inhale and exhale, the lingering scent of pheromones made him even dizzier, but he didn’t realize it.
I must be too lewd.
Understanding his increasingly excited state that way, Yu-jin quickly looked around. What should he be doing when Winston came? Like this? Or like this?
After changing his posture this way and that, he looked at the door while half-lying on the bed. He couldn’t lie down comfortably, as if Winston would open that door and come in at any moment. His heart pounding, he waited for Winston in the sexiest pose he could manage, anticipating the moment that door would open soon.

What on earth is he doing!
When the minute hand of the wall clock passed 20 minutes, Yu-jin became angry and jumped out of bed. No matter how long he waited, Winston didn’t come in, and he couldn’t even hear footsteps. He had to find out what he was doing. He didn’t hesitate any longer and threw open the door to the room.
The answer was soon revealed. As soon as he came out into the hallway, he heard noise coming from downstairs. He said he’d send them away, could it be. With a sense of foreboding, Yu-jin stepped onto the landing and stopped in his tracks. In the first-floor living room that came into view, a dozen or so people were drinking and chatting boisterously.
What on earth is this…….
Yu-jin, standing there blankly, soon found Winston. He was sitting alone on the sofa where they had been lying together, holding his head in his hands. He looked like a homeowner who had failed to drive away unwanted guests, no matter who looked at him.
“Winnie…….”
Yu-jin decided to approach him and offer him some comfort. The mood was broken, but they had confirmed how much they wanted each other, hadn’t they? The next time would be much easier. They could continue after sending them away……. Thinking that, Yu-jin started down the stairs, but he soon stopped again. A familiar long-haired beauty was approaching Winston and talking to him. It didn’t end there. Evelyn sat next to Winston on the sofa, talking and affectionately stroking his shoulder, and Yu-jin was shocked.
“I’m sorry, Winnie. I tried to stop them, but no one would listen…….”
At Evelyn’s voice, full of apology, Winston sighed with a tired face.
“It’s okay, it’s not like they’d listen to you anyway.”
As if in response to that, jeers and cheers mixed together came from behind. Winston glanced back, checked the group drinking and talking as they pleased, and then turned his head again. Evelyn, who had been silent as he rubbed his face with both hands, cleared her throat.
“Hey, where’s that kid? If he’s angry because of us…….”
“No, it’s not that.”
Winston stopped trying to say more. Explaining everything one by one suddenly felt too tiring. Remembering what he would be doing with Yu-jin right now if it weren’t for these stupid unwanted guests, anger took hold in that place.
These damn bastards, should I just shoot them all with a gun.
When he remembered that there was a gun in the living room, someone suddenly shouted.
“Oh, it’s Winston’s boyfriend!”
Turning his head reflexively, he instantly found Yu-jin and froze. Yu-jin, standing on the landing, was looking down at him. Seeing his eyes wide open as if surprised, Winston quickly got up from his seat.
He told him to stay in the room.
As he panicked, self-reproach poured into his head. He must have gotten tired of waiting and came out. Instead of being here like this, he should have gone up and reassured Yu-jin, you stupid bastard.
“Yu-jin…….”
Winston tried to go to him quickly, but another guy was faster. The guy, who ran up the stairs two or three steps at a time, suddenly slung Yu-jin over his shoulder.
“Uwaaah!”
“Yu-jin!”
Seeing his lover screaming and struggling, Winston’s face turned pale. He wanted to beat that guy right away, but he couldn’t move for fear of dropping Yu-jin. In Winston’s frozen vision, he saw the guy coming down the stairs in a flash.
“Yu-jin, are you okay? You bastard, what are you doing!”
It was only a few seconds, but Winston felt like all the blood was draining from his body. As soon as the guy came down to the living room, Winston hugged Yu-jin, almost snatching him away, and shouted. But the guy, who was already drunk to the gills, didn’t feel any sense of crisis at all and just smiled sheepishly.
“If he’s your boyfriend, he has to say hello to us too. Hello, I’m Barry. We’re all Winston’s friends.”
His pronunciation was so slurred that it was hard to understand, but he even put his hand on his chest and bowed politely. Winston resisted the urge to knock him down right away and first checked on Yu-jin’s condition. He thought he would be trembling with fear, but unexpectedly, Yu-jin just had a bewildered expression and didn’t seem to be in a dangerous state.
“Yu-jin, are you okay?”
“Huh? Y, yeah.”
When Winston asked again as if to confirm, Yu-jin nodded, looking dazed.
“I was just a little surprised. I’m okay…….”
As he said, he didn’t look scared at all. Relieved, Winston quickly continued.
“I’m sorry, these guys just barged in. You waited a long time, right? I was just thinking of shooting them all with a gun anyway.”
“Ah, no, there’s no need to go that far.”
As Yu-jin hurriedly shook his head in embarrassment, another guy interrupted, laughing loudly.
“Why are you being like that, what did we do?”
“Yeah, we’re just saying let’s all play together.”
“What’s your name? Come here, let’s drink together.”
“I like pretty kids.”
“Me too. Where did this guy find such a beauty? He’s been hiding it until now?”
Yu-jin felt dizzy from the loud chatter, but he didn’t feel any malice from them.
Maybe it’s okay to just say hello for a moment……?
If they were Winston’s friends anyway, he would get to know them someday. If so, it wouldn’t be bad to have a brief conversation on this occasion. Above all,
Because he had never been in such a large group of people, Yu-jin was nervous on the one hand, but also curious on the other.
Winnie’s here, so nothing dangerous will happen…….
It was then that Evelyn came into view while he was pondering and being held by Winston. Evelyn gave a wry smile, as if embarrassed, to Yu-jin, who blinked in surprise for a moment. Unfortunately, it was counterproductive. Seeing Evelyn, who was confidently socializing with people as a wonderful adult, unlike himself, who was being protected like a child in Winston’s arms, Yu-jin suddenly felt rebellious. Besides, when Yu-jin had seen them just now, they had been sitting on the sofa and talking intimately, hadn’t they? In the very place where he had been about to make love with Winston just before.
I can do it too.
Yu-jin took a deep breath and put his hand on Winston’s chest and gave it strength. Winston didn’t budge, but it was enough to elicit his reaction.
“Yu-jin?”
To Winston, who asked as if wondering what was wrong, Yu-jin opened his mouth with a somewhat flushed face.
“I, I have to say hello to your friends. Since we’re all gathered here.”
Winston frowned and looked down at him. Still with an expression that he couldn’t understand, Yu-jin expressed himself more clearly.
“I want to play too, with everyone.”
