By Zephyria Even after the Heat subsided, Seo Jeong-won’s temperature wouldn’t go down. The doctor’s explanation that it was due to accumulated fatigue and weakened physical strength didn’t sound convincing either. Kwon Tae-hee gave Seo Jeong-won antipyretics and kept watch by his side without leaving his side even for a moment while lowering his fever with Intravenous drip, but his recovery was sluggish.
His lips, exhaling hot breath, parted. The inside of his mouth, clearly visible, looked dry, so he woke Seo Jeong-won, who had fallen into a light sleep. He complained a little, telling him not to wake him, but when he tilted a water bottle to his lips, he drank the cool water sweetly.
When he seemed to have quenched his thirst to some extent, he laid him down again, and he quickly fell asleep as if he had never woken up. Kwon Tae-hee checked the sweat on the back of his neck and finally felt relieved at the falling fever.
“I’m going crazy.”
He thought he had pushed him too hard, but he mistakenly thought that if he shortened the insertion time, he would recover quickly. Experiencing trial and error in this way, Kwon Tae-hee was simply embarrassed by the current situation. He tried to find out what the problem was, but his head was full of scenes of him entangled with Seo Jeong-won.
He was told that excessive sex was not allowed, so he inserted it gently. Even when he asked him to move a little harder, he barely endured it and was careful not to go in too deep. He said his stomach was full, but he didn’t say it hurt… Then, is the problem that he made him cum several times?
Before losing consciousness, he trembled, leaking watery fluid like incontinence, so perhaps the stimulation was too much. He thought he was restraining himself appropriately, but he should have held back more. Would it have been better than now if he had ended with one or two orgasms and made the insertion longer?
“Haa…”
Seo Jeong-won’s eyes, vaguely awakened by the sound of Kwon Tae-hee’s repeated sighs, turned to him. His face was dark. The way he was lightly frowning seemed like he was reflecting on something.
“Executive Director…?”
“Yes, what can I get you?”
“No, it’s not that I need anything…”
“You can sleep more. Did I make too much noise? Or are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
He remembered that he always hurt after having sex, although he accepted him without difficulty this time. Kwon Tae-hee reflexively reached out his hand. Would he hate it if he said he would look down there? Looking at his lower back hidden under the blanket, Kwon Tae-hee stroked around there, and Seo Jeong-won writhed in horror.
“Ah, it doesn’t hurt…!”
“Then?”
“I’m fine except for being a little hot, but I was wondering if Executive Director… was hurting somewhere.”
“Ah, me.”
Kwon Tae-hee recalled the voice that grabbed his hand, which was booking all sorts of tests, and soothed him, saying it wasn’t that bad.
“I’m fine too.”
He barely lowered his body temperature with Intravenous drip and antipyretics, but the Fever rash that remained like residue adorned Seo Jeong-won’s cheeks. The scattered appearance was not unpleasant at all, and even that was pretty. Everything looks pretty, so he really feels like he’s going crazy.
“Ah, is it still red?”
Seo Jeong-won, who insisted on washing in the morning and checked his appearance in the mirror, noticed where his gaze was directed and coughed unnecessarily. He was embarrassed because he seemed to be staring too intently.
“It’s pretty.”
When an answer that deviated from the question came back, Seo Jeong-won’s face turned even redder. He rubbed the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and eventually spread his palm and covered his eyes.
“Stop… it.”
What is he so embarrassed about? He said it was pretty because it was pretty. Seo Jeong-won’s Pheromone, permeated through his breath and body, made his scent waft even with the slightest movement. Kwon Tae-hee lowered his body as it was, satisfied with the sight. He leaned his forehead against his small hand and let out a faint sigh.
“I was thinking about what to do during the next Heat.”
“…”
“Would it be better to be hospitalized, or would it be better to spend it together like this time… Next time, no matter how much you seduce me, shouldn’t I hold back?”
“That, I… I mean, in my opinion—”
The heat that had barely subsided flared up in an instant. Seo Jeong-won felt his neck getting hot and covered his mouth with the hand that Kwon Tae-hee wasn’t holding. It was because he remembered the words that constantly urged him and the actions that clung to him.
“So, oh… I think I should go see Hae-a today. My fever has gone down now, so I’m fine, and I miss him. I’m going now—!”
As he avoided the eyes that were meeting his and flustered, Kwon Tae-hee chuckled and supported him. Seo Jeong-won naturally grabbed the hand that was extended to him and got up. Fortunately, his body, which had been drooping due to the fever, moved according to his will.
“It’s still hot.”
“I don’t have a fever.”
“I think there’s a slight fever left.”
“My body moves well.”
Worried that he might overdo it, Kwon Tae-hee watched Seo Jeong-won get out of bed, put him in the middle, and slowly circled around him, pulling the stand.
“I’m not dizzy, I’m fine.”
“…”
“But I can’t get used to this. I guess I’m lucky to be able to get Intravenous drip even here.”
The last words flowed out like a monologue. Seo Jeong-won sighed as he looked at the Intravenous drip connected to the back of his hand. He shuddered slightly as he recalled the nurse’s words that if the back of his hand didn’t work, they would have to put the needle in the instep of his foot.
“If my fever doesn’t rise again, I’ll ask them to take it out in the evening.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really. The Heat has subsided, so I think I can move to the postpartum care center this week. I’ll discuss it with the doctor in charge too.”
Seo Jeong-won nodded and stared at Kwon Tae-hee. Kwon Tae-hee, who keenly realized that he meant to leave now, pulled the stand. At the same time, Seo Jeong-won reached out his arm so he could grab it from the side.
“Shall we go see Hae-a now? I wanted to see him.”
Seo Jeong-won smiled quietly at the friendly words. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he grabbed Kwon Tae-hee and slowly moved his feet.
¸.•¨•¸.•¨•¸.•¨•¸
Seo Jeong-won stood there, unaware of the passage of time as he looked at the sleeping Kwon Hae-a, and only came up to the hospital room after a long time. He was talking to Kwon Tae-hee, who had been listening to him all along, about what Kwon Hae-a’s expression was like today and how much bigger he seemed to be, when he suddenly stopped at the feeling of someone’s presence.
A guest he didn’t know when had arrived was waiting in the hospital room. Seo Jeong-won was surprised to see who it was, but Kwon Tae-hee was calm, as if he had known in advance.
“Oh, how…”
“Jeong-won’s fever has gone down, and he seems to be in good condition. So, let’s talk comfortably.”
Seo Jeong-won looked back and forth between Kwon Tae-hee and Kang Da-hyun with a bewildered expression, and then pulled the stand and moved.
“Did you contact him? When?”
His bright voice towards Kang Da-hyun was full of welcome. Kwon Tae-hee left the hospital room, thinking that he had done well to send a reply asking him to come today to the message asking when he would be available, even though it was out of the blue.
“You surprised me.”
Seo Jeong-won sped up his pace as he heard the sound of the door opening and closing. The sound of the wheels of the stand rolling was faster than usual.
“I sent a message to the number I talked to you on back then, and you said I could come. But… are you okay?”
Kang Da-hyun carefully examined Seo Jeong-won, who looked sick even at a glance. Of course, he didn’t look particularly good when he was pregnant either. But back then, he looked like a patient with a clear illness, but now the color had returned to his face, so he looked better.
“Yeah, for a few days after giving birth, I had severe anemia and a high fever, but now I’m better. How about you? Have you been doing well? Are you still rich?”
Seo Jeong-won smiled and asked, recalling the words Kang Da-hyun said boastfully the last time he saw him. He scratched his cheek with an embarrassed expression and avoided answering.
“Can you eat well now?”
“Yeah, I eat anything now.”
“It’s amazing. It’s also amazing that you’re the only one around me who has a baby.”
“…I know. I never thought I’d be a dad at twenty-two. I didn’t know I’d be the one giving birth either.”
Seo Jeong-won smiled awkwardly and avoided eye contact with Kang Da-hyun. Kang Da-hyun sighed deeply as he looked at his friend, who was skinny but didn’t look poor. He knew that he had circumstances he couldn’t reveal clearly, and he also knew that his marriage partner was only a bit older, but there was nothing particularly lacking, but he was still disappointed and felt sorry for Seo Jeong-won.
“Why were you in such a hurry to get pregnant? You could have had it a little later. You should have gotten to know what kind of person he is and been careful…”
“…Have you eaten?”
“You don’t want to hear it, do you?”
“It’s not that… I’m just embarrassed.”
Kang Da-hyun realized that it was too late to nag and laughed in vain. He had already registered his marriage, so what was the point of interfering now? There was no way to undo it anyway.
“Live well. Don’t fight.”
“Fighting… is not allowed.”
“I guess so, he’s old.”
Seo Jeong-won reacted seriously to the sarcastic answer. He nodded as if it were the correct answer.
