By Zephyria Kwon Tae-hee complained in his usual affectionate tone. I don’t know if the expression “complained” is correct, but Seo Jeong-won heard it as if he was feeling sorry for him. He felt like he was lightly threatening him, wondering how he hadn’t asked him to get him something he wanted to eat late at night or in the early morning even once, even though he was almost five months along.
“…Ah.”
Is he playing house? Maybe he’s practicing for married life. Kwon Tae-hee is thinking of marrying him, after all.
“If there’s anything you want to eat, tell me anytime. Because I don’t want to make Jeong-won feel sorry anymore.”
“Thank you for just saying that.”
His caring voice sounded like he cherished him endlessly, but he couldn’t see his expression, so he couldn’t confirm if it was genuine. Actually, even if he could see it, he wouldn’t have the ability to distinguish it. So maybe it’s better this way. If he saw his face, his heart might waver. Doesn’t he have the kind of face that would do that? Kwon Tae-hee has a face that’s too good at captivating people.
“No need to thank me, Jeong-won is my person now.”
Every time Seo Jeong-won heard these cheesy words, his chest throbbed. Is this what they call sweet talk? Experiencing it, it was actually sweet. So that’s why they call it candy. But the sweeter the words, the spicier they became the more he chewed on them. Kwon Tae-hee doesn’t easily abandon anyone, does he? Just like those who were abandoned before him.
Sometimes he wondered if Kwon Tae-hee really liked babies or not. Whether he liked it simply because he was fulfilling the contract, or whether he genuinely only liked babies. The train of thought that followed went on and on without end.
How can you get married like this? Until now, he thought marriage was something you did with someone you loved. When you felt sure that you wanted to spend your life together. He thought that was the reason why most people decided to get married. But then again, Kwon Tae-hee isn’t an ordinary person. Ordinary standards might not be universal criteria for him.
“What are you thinking about?”
“……Just, Pheromones. I’m just amazed that I can smell this every time I breathe.”
“You smell good too, Jeong-won.”
Kwon Tae-hee bent down. He hugged Seo Jeong-won from behind and buried his nose and lips in his exposed neck.
“I’m amazed how you can smell like this.”
It’s like a cream that melts softly in your mouth. Soft and sweet. He wanted to put it in his mouth right away and taste it until he was sick of it, but Seo Jeong-won wasn’t in a state to do that, so he had to hold back. Suppressing his growing sexual desire, he barely tasted as much as he was allowed.
“Executive Director.”
“Yes, Jeong-won.”
He pressed his lips firmly against the thin skin, and warm breath spread around his neck. Seo Jeong-won flinched his neck. He blushed all over the exposed area as if it was ticklish, and muttered softly that it was stuffy.
“……Ha.”
He knows that he shouldn’t overdo it because his physical strength is weakened by pregnancy, and he also knows that Seo Jeong-won is anxious about the physical changes even though it’s a stable period, so he has to endure until he gives his permission… Nevertheless, there are moments when he wants to pretend he doesn’t know, like now.
Kwon Tae-hee, who released the slender body he wanted to hold on to tightly, put on a soft smile that he barely managed to create.
“I only want to eat ice cream. I’m not… hungry.”
“Let’s eat dinner when we get back if you’re hungry then.”
Seo Jeong-won sighed deeply in succession and quietly watched Kwon Tae-hee’s back as he pulled his hand. He pretended not to notice that his lower body, which he had glanced at, was bulging.

After the walk, he took a bath in the tub with Kwon Tae-hee’s help. He insisted on taking care of him despite his protests that he was okay. He poured out his worries that something terrible would happen if he fell, and finally took his place. The explanation that it had never happened before scattered as if it wasn’t heard.
“Try leaning your head back. I’ll wash your hair.”
At the voice that echoed through the bathroom, Seo Jeong-won slowly leaned back. Kwon Tae-hee folded a towel and placed it where his neck touched, and stared intently at his pale face. His eyes, which were always listlessly open, were tightly closed. His thick eyelashes were clumped together with moisture and spread out in a fan shape.
Kwon Tae-hee carefully examined the face he had encountered in a while. His nose, which stretched out in the shape of a beoseon, and the red lips below it were moist. His small face, which seemed to be covered by one hand, and his transparent skin, which showed the bluish blood vessels as they were, were still the same. Only the desire to suck on his moist skin grew stronger.
“……Executive Director?”
Kwon Tae-hee, who had been staring at his slender neck and straight collarbone for a long time, hid his agitation and naturally reached out his hand. He squeezed out the unscented shampoo that he had started using because of Seo Jeong-won’s morning sickness. When he applied shampoo to his fine hair and rubbed it gently, white bubbles formed.
Kwon Tae-hee put his fingers between his hair and pressed down as if acupressure. Seo Jeong-won occasionally groaned. He wished he could just wash his hair for hours, but he was warned that taking a long bath was not good for pregnant women.
“Tell me if it’s too hot.”
“Yes.”
Seo Jeong-won unknowingly lengthened the end of his words. It was the moment when Seo Jeong-won’s eyelids, who had been still for a long time listening to the sound of falling water, opened without him realizing it.
“……Ah.”
His eyes met Kwon Tae-hee’s. He felt a slight nausea, but it was ambiguous whether it was because of morning sickness or for another reason. Before he could avoid it, Kwon Tae-hee’s hand wrapped around his cheek. Soft lips met his right away before he could even call out. Seo Jeong-won’s eyes widened in surprise.
Because he struggled a little, water overflowed out of the tub with a splashing sound. They didn’t fit together properly and the direction of their heads was different, but rather, it felt more obscene because of that. A tongue dug into his lips, which were open due to his blocked breathing.
Chup, chuut, tsut— A ticklish sound was heard. His exposed shoulders trembled as he licked his hot mouth and rubbed his tongue. Kwon Tae-hee, who swallowed all his groans, took his lips off the overlapping lips. As if he was still regretful, he couldn’t completely move away and pressed his lips on top of them several times.
“I’m really… holding back a lot.”
“……”
“Ha.”
Only after kissing his soft cheek did Kwon Tae-hee completely retreat. He lifted the reddened Seo Jeong-won out of the tub and took him into the shower booth. He thought that if he washed together, he wouldn’t be able to leave him alone at all, so he washed him while wearing his clothes, not caring that they were getting wet.
Kwon Tae-hee smiled nonchalantly at his muttering that he was all wet. Should I take them off then, Seo Jeong-won’s whole body turned pink at the little joke he made. He rinsed the innocent man, who couldn’t even shake his head, clean without any soapiness and wrapped him in a large towel and took him out.
“Sit down for a second.”
“I’ll dry this, so… Executive Director, you should wash too.”
“I was going to apply lotion. Jeong-won can dry his hair.”
Seo Jeong-won was embarrassed because he pretended not to hear the roundabout refusal and brought up something unexpected. He should have asked him to dry his hair instead.
“Your stomach is starting to show. It’s actually sticking out quite round.”
“……”
“It’s a pretty body, so I’d be upset if it got ruined. But Jeong-won doesn’t seem to care at all. Since the owner is so easygoing, I thought I should be the one to be fussy.”
Kwon Tae-hee’s hand naturally reached out and grabbed the oil bottle that was only displayed without being applied. Only then did Seo Jeong-won regret it. He should have at least pretended to apply it.
Kwon Tae-hee took off the towel that Seo Jeong-won was holding. He completely wiped off the remaining moisture and tilted the oil bottle. He applied it evenly to his round belly and carefully went up. A more intense and dense Pheromone shower than usual followed.
There was no noticeable change in his flat chest, but the color of the small flesh turned red, and his nipples became a little bigger. As he gently rubbed and spread the oil as if massaging, Seo Jeong-won, who was trembling, reached out and stopped Kwon Tae-hee.
“I’ll… I’ll apply it well in the future. So, can’t I just apply it?”
He was helplessly aroused by the Pheromones that had begun to permeate sweetly without knowing his heart. Besides, wasn’t there already stimulation from the bathroom? He wasn’t the only one whose sexual desire hadn’t been satisfied.
“Next time.”
“……”
“Next time, Jeong-won will apply it.”
Kwon Tae-hee, who pressed his lips on his reddened cheeks, started applying oil again. Why does the atmosphere have to be so lewd because of this? Seo Jeong-won felt his vision blurring and swallowed hard. A large hand dug between his thighs. His back brushed against his naturally erect penis.
“E-Executive Director.”
“Yes, Jeong-won.”
“I, I want to eat… eat pig’s trotters.”
Seo Jeong-won squeezed his eyes shut. He blurted out the words arbitrarily to get out of the situation, but strangely, his mouth was full of saliva.
