4 – HR Side Story 2

Extracurricular 2

[I’m sorry. Something blew up overseas. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it back today.]

“It’s okay. You’ve been busy all week.”

[……Sorry.]

Hae-jin meant it as reassurance, but Ryle’s voice somehow sounded even darker. Hae-jin, troubled, wrinkled his nose and fiddled with the pattern on the sofa, choosing his words carefully.

Indeed, Ryle had been incredibly busy all week. After Hae-jin decided to stay by his side, Ryle had gradually regained his stability. It was only natural that his attention would turn to the company affairs he had half-abandoned.

Of course, Ryle wanted to prioritize his time with Hae-jin. But every time the Secretary came all the way to the mansion, flustered and asking why he hadn’t suddenly come to work again today, Hae-jin couldn’t help but feel a little sorry. When he told him to do his job properly, Ryle looked at Hae-jin with a shocked expression.

Anyway, it seemed that work had piled up so much this week that they couldn’t even have breakfast together. Even at night, Hae-jin would fall asleep first, and when he groggily opened his eyes in the early morning, Ryle had already returned and was holding him. Then, when he opened his eyes again, Ryle would be gone, leaving only a letter.

“Are you staying at the penthouse tonight, then?”

[Yeah. I think so. Though I probably won’t get there until dawn.]

Hae-jin understood that these things sometimes happened because of work. But from the moment they couldn’t have breakfast together, Ryle acted as if he was worried Hae-jin would run away at any moment. Sometimes, there would even be flowers left in the spot where Ryle had been, which was embarrassing.

Hae-jin laid out the letters he had left in the reception room and looked at them, awkwardly touching his ear. He was really okay, but he couldn’t help but worry about whether Ryle was okay.

“Should I go over there?”

This impulsive decision came from that. He was used to eating breakfast alone, and he liked the extra space in the bed, but he was worried about Ryle’s health. Especially since they were imprinting.

As expected, Ryle quickly gave an affirmative answer to Hae-jin’s sudden suggestion, though he seemed a bit flustered.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Hae-jin jumped up and headed to the closet, his steps a little hasty.

From that evening, Hae-jin awkwardly stayed in the downtown penthouse. Ryle said he would be back at dawn, and indeed, he didn’t return until the dark night had settled.

The staff here were also very kind. They had apparently been told that Hae-jin was uncomfortable with someone being by his side. They said that all the preparations had been made and left him alone to relax.

The problem was that Hae-jin’s attitude became quite cautious when he entered the unfamiliar space. His luggage was probably somewhere in one of the rooms, but he didn’t have the courage to search through everything.

Hae-jin, who had only brought his phone and tablet, pondered as he wandered back and forth between the bedroom and the living room. At least, he felt comfortable going in and out of the bedroom because Ryle had told him to sleep there first.

In the end, he took out what he assumed was Ryle’s pajamas and put them on. There were several sets, so it wouldn’t be a problem if he borrowed one. After that, he couldn’t sleep, so Hae-jin lay on the large sofa in the living room late into the night, reading comic books.

Late into the night, he finally heard the sound of the door opening.

“……”

Ryle, who was striding in, loosening his tie, stopped abruptly when he saw Hae-jin on the sofa. Hae-jin, feeling inexplicably intimidated by the unwavering gaze, also froze and looked back at him. His somewhat dazed eyes were fixed on him.

“Hae-jin.”

Only for a moment. Ryle soon approached Hae-jin with a melting smile. He threw the tie he was holding carelessly on the floor.

“……Ryle.”

Before Hae-jin could even register the suddenly close distance, he was lifted off the ground. He made a sound of surprise, but his mouth was immediately covered.

“Ugh, hng…….”

Hae-jin’s eyes widened at Ryle’s sudden, hot kiss. But he felt strangely excited by the pheromone that gently enveloped him. Even though he knew Ryle had slept by his side last night, he felt like he hadn’t seen him in a very long time.

Hae-jin, who had been struggling a little in the air, simply wrapped his arms around his neck. Ryle, who was holding him steadily, didn’t seem like he would ever drop Hae-jin.

His back hit the wall with a thud. Hae-jin closed his eyes, not even knowing which wall he was leaning against. A hot tongue entered him and explored every corner, as if tasting him little by little. It felt like his intertwined tongue was melting. Pheromones flowed into each other as if swallowing soft silk.

“Hah, hng…….”

A tremor started from the firm hand holding his thigh and spread throughout his body. He looked at Ryle, who was pushing him against the wall with hazy eyes. He wondered why he seemed so impatient today.

“Why, hmm, why suddenly…….”

“Just because.”

That’s what he said, but Ryle couldn’t agree with the word “suddenly.” However, he didn’t want to reveal that he always had such a fierce longing, so he mumbled the answer. Instead, he pressed his hips firmly against Hae-jin’s center and kissed his jawline. Slowly and gently.

So that he wouldn’t be surprised.

Hae-jin was clinging to him with all his might, probably because the position of being suspended against the wall felt strange. The weight was still too light, which made him uneasy. He wanted to keep confirming that Hae-jin was by his side.

The moment he saw Hae-jin, whom he had naturally assumed would be asleep, waiting for him in his pajamas, he felt like his heart was going to burst. Hae-jin was like happiness that he had never dared to hope for, molded into the shape of a person. From the moment he said he would come here, his heart had been pounding, and now it was filled with endless greed.

As if trying to be ingratiating, Ryle continued to stroke Hae-jin’s neck. He didn’t forget to carefully refine his pheromones and pour them onto Hae-jin. He occasionally made eye contact and smiled. He sometimes had the illusion that Hae-jin liked his face a little.

“Hoo…….”

He felt his body tremble as he gently rotated his hips and continued to stimulate Hae-jin’s lower body. He wanted to throw off the cumbersome clothes right away. He wanted their skin to touch directly, thickly.

“Hae-jin. Is it okay?”

Ryle had kissed him first before, but he had never asked this. After the heat cycle, he seemed to be trying not to mention pheromone release again. Hae-jin, who occasionally thought of the strange pleasure of that day, also pretended not to notice and suppressed his desires.

Besides, it didn’t seem like the purpose now was pheromone release. Rather, it felt like he wanted Hae-jin himself more. It was hard not to feel embarrassed. But the soft pheromone, which tickled him, was clearly saying so.

He felt a hot sensation in his lower body. He was sometimes afraid when he felt something moist seeping out. But this wasn’t a bad thing. Ryle had made him realize that with his whole body during the heat cycle. Hae-jin, who was not immune to proper sex, blushed at the tips of his ears and successfully scattered the remaining anxiety.

Hae-jin, who was secretly reflecting on his previous experience, tried to answer curtly.

“……Don’t ask me about things like that one by one.”

Ryle, who smiled brighter than the sun, kissed him fiercely again. Hae-jin, who was staring blankly at his face as if possessed, felt the movement towards the inner bedroom and tightened his arms around his neck.

“Hah, hng, ah, ahh, Ry, le, too fas, ugh, ah……!”

The sound of flesh colliding filled the bedroom. The bright lights of the city, coming in from one of the large windows, faintly showed Ryle’s outline.

Ryle rushed at Hae-jin as soon as he entered, like a thirsty man. It was their first time having sex without the aftereffects of the heat cycle, so Hae-jin was very nervous. But despite his nervousness, he soon found himself moaning endlessly.

He couldn’t remember how he had been able to endure this without making a sound before. Ryle, who insisted on facing him, relentlessly poked only the places where Hae-jin felt good.

“Too, fast?”

“Yeah, yeah. Ryle, Ryle, ah……!”

At his plea to go slowly, Ryle spoke gently and took his hand, biting it lightly. Even the slight pain felt at the tip of his little finger rushed to his brain like pleasure. He thought he would go a little slower, but Ryle instead increased the speed and bit Hae-jin’s wrist.

“Hae-jin. Hoo…….”

“Hah, hng, eugh, hng, hng…….”

Ryle, who was very excited, breathed roughly and buried his face in Hae-jin’s neck this time. He took in his scent deeply, as if he was about to burst his lungs. The pleasure, like pouring water on a dry soul, consumed his brain.

He looked at Hae-jin’s upper body, which was already covered in red and blotchy heat blooms, with satisfaction. He had been very disappointed every time those marks, which were barely visible every day, faded little by little, but now it was resolved.

“Heuek, Ryle, eugh, stop, st, hng, op…….”

“Yeah. Shh……. Don’t cry.”

He had relentlessly poked only the places where he felt good, so Hae-jin writhed all over and spewed out a thin stream of ejaculate. It was because he had already gone alone several times.

Only then did Ryle remember that he shouldn’t push him too hard, and he suppressed his heavy and sticky obsession a little. Of course, this was only possible because Hae-jin was emitting highly aroused pheromones. That’s what he said, anyway.

He slowly reduced his hip movements. Hae-jin, who had been panting, looked at the ceiling and blinked his eyes hazily, as if catching his breath.

He was afraid that those beautiful eyes would wander elsewhere. Ryle carefully held his small face with both hands and kissed him greedily. He made the excuse that he couldn’t help it because Hae-jin liked this kind of pecking kiss.

“Eugh, ha…….”

“Are you okay?”

“Hng, eugh, eu…….”

As expected, when he only listened to his words and stopped moving, his slender waist began to twitch noticeably. Tears flowed down his face as his large eyes rolled around. Ryle licked Hae-jin’s face for a long time, because even that was too precious. The soft skin that touched the tip of his tongue was so sweet that he felt like he was going crazy.

“Shall I move?”

“……Eung…….”

He made eye contact and gave him a deep eye smile that he liked. Recently, Ryle had even been practicing smiling in the mirror. He liked the way his eyes would go blank when he held his face with both hands and smiled, so that he couldn’t see anywhere else.

The dark obsession that he hoped he would only look at him like this in the future raised its head from the bottom again.

“Hah, hng……!”

Ryle quickly moved his hips so that it wouldn’t be obvious again. He felt pleasure as he slammed down on the inside again, turning Hae-jin’s face red. He had been covering his eyes with an eye mask so that he wouldn’t see such a beautiful thing, so if he met his past self, he would have to pluck out those unworthy eyeballs first.

“Hae-jin, do you like it here?”

“No, ugh, no, I don’t, haht……!”

Only then did Hae-jin realize that he had nodded too honestly, and he turned his head sharply. His shyness, which had spread all the way down to his neck, was so cute.

Ryle, who gentlemanly pretended not to see it, simply moved his hips diligently. Until Hae-jin once again entrusted his body to pleasure.

“Can you get up?”

“Eung…….”

Hae-jin unconsciously acted spoiled by the hand that was covering his face. He liked the feeling of the skin touching his cheek. Then, the stroking became slower, as if telling him to do more.

Only then did Hae-jin wake up and blink his eyes. Ryle, who was carrying the bright city sun on his back, was smiling like a painting.

“Breakfast is ready. I’m sorry I made you eat alone again.”

“…….”

“Rest a little more and go back to the mansion. Someone will come right away if you contact them.”

“Yes…….”

Ryle was already dressed perfectly, as if he was ready to go out. Hae-jin, who was watching his blonde hair greedily absorb the sunlight, tried to get up. But it wasn’t easy because his lower back was stiff.

Ryle, who was watching him, smiled faintly and gently pressed down on his shoulder. He didn’t forget to pull the blanket up to his chin.

“I think I’ll be very late again today, but I’ll do my best to get back early.”

Even though he was dressed perfectly without a single wrinkle, Ryle carefully knelt on one knee on the floor and met Hae-jin’s gaze. He regretfully stroked Hae-jin’s swollen eyes with his thumb. He was so careful with his movements, as if he was afraid it would hurt even if he pressed down on him slightly. He would stop if he was worried, but he couldn’t because he regretted the skin touching him.

He’s late again today. Even though Ryle’s pheromones, which had filled the room, were there, he felt a strange regret. Even if that wasn’t the purpose, he had done a lot of pheromone release yesterday, so his body would be fine for a while.

Hae-jin knew that too. There was no more room to use it as an excuse. However, he also knew that even if he went to the mansion like this, Ryle would try his best to spend time with Hae-jin.

But unexpectedly, these words popped out of his mouth.

“……Can I stay here for a few more days?”

“If it’s because of me…….”

Ryle, who widened his eyes, carefully pressed Hae-jin’s cheek with his finger this time. His movements were very careful, as if he was afraid it would hurt even though he was pressing down on him slightly. He would stop if he was worried, but he couldn’t because he regretted the skin touching him.

As soon as he let out his worry, Hae-jin pulled the blanket up more and buried his face in it. He always covered his face, but he still didn’t seem to know that his emotions were visible on his ears and neck.

And these fluffy pheromones too.

“It’s not because of that. The night view is pretty here.”

“Is that so?”

“……It’s true.”

“Really…….”

Ryle, who was only repeating the same answer, didn’t seem to believe him at all. Although Hae-jin was so engrossed in the comic book yesterday that he didn’t even have time to look out the window properly.

“Okay. Thank you.”

In the end, Ryle, who was full of laughter, ruffled his hair and said that. Hae-jin, who was embarrassed, deliberately avoided answering.

Then, a kiss landed on his ear. It felt like hot candle wax had fallen on him.

“Sleep a little more.”

Unlike what he grumbled inwardly that he would never be able to fall asleep, Hae-jin quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Hae-jin is right nearby.

Just that fact alone made Ryle feel a throbbing sensation in his heart. It wasn’t that far to the mansion, but he felt strangely excited about the situation where they were even closer.

Moreover, Hae-jin had said that he would come closer first, so the symbolic meaning was great. Ryle swallowed his laughter and picked up his phone, wondering if Hae-jin had taken good care of his breakfast alone. However, he put it down again when he saw that the message he had sent earlier was still unread. He must still be sleeping.

Ryle, who was estimating the time, decided that he would have to call him if he was still sleeping after a while. It’s not good to skip meals for too long. He felt sorry that he had been too impulsive and pushed him too hard yesterday, but he couldn’t help but feel excited.

Does Hae-jin want to see me a little?

“Chairman.”

“I guess I should buy flowers after all.”

“…….”

He was happy that he was considerate of Ryle, who couldn’t stay at the mansion for a long time, even making the excuse of the night view.

Ryle, who was thinking about the list of flowers that he liked, roughly accepted the documents that the Secretary was handing him. His busy mind was filled with Hae-jin rather than work.

Then, he suddenly felt a familiar coldness sweep over his back. In other words, this also meant that he hadn’t spent much time with Hae-jin recently, to the point where he wanted to see him. As soon as he realized that fact, Ryle’s face hardened.

What if Hae-jin thinks I’m neglecting him again?

“First of all, the people in charge, ……should we choose the flowers first?”

It was still a ridiculous thing to do. This wasn’t the time to be happily choosing flowers when he didn’t even know what compassion was. He was acting so stupidly just because he had received one emotion that he didn’t even know if it was compassion.

Ryle’s seriously hardened mind became busy. He was the one who had reduced his working hours to a minimum because he wanted to stay by his side more. But he was shocked when Hae-jin asked why he wasn’t doing his job properly. He was afraid that he might have looked irresponsible.

So he was just trying to show that he was working a little harder, but unexpectedly, things got out of hand.

“Chairman?”

If that’s the case, then there’s no point in working. If Hae-jin, who was feeling lonely, habitually found that depression and draped it over his shoulders, then it would really be meaningless.

At the Secretary’s urging, Ryle naturally turned his head. Towards the reason why the work that he could have done moderately had changed so urgently.

“Fire them all for now. They’re all utterly incompetent.”

Ryle’s declaration to abandon family management led to a massive overhaul. The movements of the fools who had been lining up behind those attached to Vermouth Castle also became frantic.

What he wanted was thorough performance. So, the fools, eager to jump into the competition, recklessly pushed forward agendas from overseas that weren’t properly coordinated.

Unfortunately, the client started to balk at the last minute, and things went awry on their end.

“…The board of directors will strongly object.”

The one who caused the accident this time was connected to the board of directors. It was unclear whether this incident was simply a competition to impress Ryle or an attempt to sabotage him. This was because he had just discovered that some of the remaining directors were actually in business relationships with the purged relatives.

Originally, he intended to investigate them thoroughly before ousting them, but that no longer mattered. What mattered was that it was cutting into the time he had to see Hae-jin.

“Yes. There will be about three people objecting, I suppose.”

He spoke calmly, but the Secretary waited for his next words with a slight tension. His usually gentle demeanor had suddenly turned sharp, perhaps due to something good that happened in the morning.

A Chairman with such gleaming eyes never made gentle decisions. Especially after his Omega, hidden away in the mansion, had left home once and returned, it had become even more extreme.

“The next board meeting can proceed even if we have three fewer members, don’t you think?”

“…”

It was a decision to not only uproot the weeds but also to dig up the soil they were rooted in, but Ryle was resolute.

For the first time in a long while, a madness born of anxiety surged within him.

Hae-jin, who woke up late after receiving Ryle’s call, ate the sandwich placed on the table with drowsy eyes. It was a light meal, befitting the morning. Even so, he chewed and swallowed it carefully, knowing that Ryle would worry greatly if he left any behind.

Ryle had strangely started contacting him more frequently.

Texts arrived incessantly, and if he forgot to reply for a moment, a call would come soon after. Though he said he was fine, it was clear that Ryle was greatly relieved that Hae-jin was here. He was fine, of course, but it suddenly occurred to him that he had done well to use the excuse of the night view.

He was told he could look around the entire penthouse. Hae-jin rarely went to places like Ryle’s study even in the mansion. Of course, no one stopped Hae-jin from going anywhere. He was just being cautious, wondering if there was anything he shouldn’t touch.

“Hmm…”

Though smaller than the mansion, the penthouse, occupying the entire upper part of the building, was very spacious. With a glass of fresh juice in one hand, Hae-jin wandered around, exploring every corner.

Outside the tall window that took up an entire wall, the cityscape was visible at a glance. He stared blankly at the large road packed with cars before venturing further inside. He replied to Ryle again in the middle and placed the empty juice glass in the second kitchen he found.

Going further inside, he found a vast bathroom.

“Wow…”

It was a sight that elicited an exclamation. There was a large window here as well, and it felt very strange to make a bathroom so open. However, he soon realized that the inside couldn’t be seen from the outside and entered with relief.

The bathroom, devoid of any moisture, had a warm atmosphere that suited the beige marble well. Right in front of the window was a jacuzzi sunken into the floor. Hae-jin, who had recently developed a hobby for bathing, brightened and headed towards it.

As he got closer, he saw the opposite side of the city from what he had seen in the living room. As if possessed, Hae-jin pointed to a window showing one of the roads and was lost in memories. Coincidentally, it was a location with a good view of the restaurant where he had dined out with his family.

And Vermouth headquarters, where Ryle would be, was visible directly ahead.

It was a coincidence. Discovering such coincidences always felt comforting. Hae-jin, who was about to take a bath right away, fell into contemplation. It was too early to soak in the water just yet. It would be better to take a bath while watching the night view. After all, it was a high view that was hard to see from the mansion.

Hae-jin, who had been planning to be somewhere else until sunset, couldn’t take his eyes off the scenery he liked for the first time in a while. Looking at the jacuzzi sunken into the floor, he went out of the bathroom. When he returned, he was carrying cushions and such in his arms.

Hae-jin, who had made the inside of the jacuzzi soft like a nest, settled in with a relieved expression. He even put the blanket he had diligently brought over his stomach and picked up his phone. After taking a picture of the scenery, he prepared to lounge around in earnest.

He might look a little funny, but it was okay. After all, Ryle would be very late like yesterday, so if he cleaned it up before then, there would be no trace.

Just in time, the cloudy sky was clearing up. Watching the sunlight gradually intensify, Hae-jin leaned back comfortably in the tub.

Anxious, Ryle hurried back to the penthouse. He hoped nothing was wrong, but the possibility always made him uneasy.

Just hours after vowing not to keep him waiting, Ryle rushed to leave work. Once he started acting decisively, things were resolved surprisingly well. There were still a few more things to take care of, but he was able to clear his afternoon for today.

Immediately, Ryle returned to the penthouse where Hae-jin was waiting. He was excited at the thought of having dinner together.

However, Hae-jin, who had belatedly replied to his text, had been out of contact for two hours. Ryle, who was about to call, realized that he had already called more than five times today and had to put his phone away. He hoped that Hae-jin wouldn’t notice this clingy obsession as much as possible.

He was concerned about the last message that he had gone to see the bathroom. Hae-jin had recently been enjoying soaking in the tub. He guessed that he might be taking a bath, but the thought naturally jumped to whether it was taking too long.

At that moment, he felt like he was being strangled for the first time in a while. Ryle had not forgotten Hae-jin’s dry appearance, surrendering so easily like a plant whose roots had been cut off.

However, a strange scene caught the eye of Ryle, who was frantically searching the inside of the penthouse.

“…Hae-jin?”

When he saw only the black hair peeking out from the end of the tub, he thought his heart would sink. However, as he rushed closer, he saw that it was not bathwater inside, but soft cushions.

There were five bedrooms in this house, and he didn’t even bother counting how many sofas there were to lie down on. But why was he sleeping in a place like this?

Near Hae-jin, who was only covered with a thin blanket, were his phone and tablet, scattered about. As if he had been engrossed in watching them before falling asleep. He was sleeping so soundly that he didn’t open his eyes even when called.

Carefully approaching, Ryle stroked Hae-jin’s cheek, which was sunken into the floor.

“Hae-jin.”

“…Umm…”

“Why are you sleeping in a place like this?”

“…Ryle?”

Hae-jin, who opened his eyes blinking, got up groggily. He still had a dazed look on his face, as if he had really slept soundly. Even though he had put down cushions, it must have been quite uncomfortable, which was absurd.

“You’ll catch a cold like this. Didn’t you like any of the sofas?”

“It’s not that…”

He subtly put his hands under his armpits and lifted him up. Hae-jin, who must still be half-asleep, obediently clung to Ryle like a koala. He had held him like this so many times when he was suffering from a high fever that he was quite used to the position.

“Why so early…”

It was dark outside, but the sun hadn’t completely set. Hae-jin, who must have thought he would come in the early morning, mumbled, rubbing his lips against his shoulder.

As expected, Ryle pressed his cheek against his, which had become a little cold, and tried not to frown.

“I finished early and came. Because I missed you.”

“…”

He didn’t answer, but he must be rolling his eyes, wondering what to say. Feeling the slight movement on his shoulder, he quickly regained his composure and put Hae-jin down on the nearest sofa.

“What’s wrong?”

Hae-jin shook his head and stretched leisurely. Unaware of Ryle’s worries, who was greatly concerned about even these minor changes.

Indeed, his body felt stiff, perhaps because he had been sleeping in a hard tub. It was a little surprising that he had slept so deeply, though.

As if that wasn’t a sufficient answer, worry filled Ryle’s blue eyes. Staring intently at them, Hae-jin opened his mouth.

“I liked the scenery over there.”

“…The bathroom?”

“Yes. But I wanted to take a bath at night, so I just played there.”

Perhaps the sight of him huddled in the tub was funny, Ryle’s face became subtle. But it was the truth, so Hae-jin could only scratch the back of his neck awkwardly. Of course, he was a little embarrassed to say that he felt good because he could see both Vermouth’s headquarters and the place of his memories at the same time.

“Then shall we take a bath?”

Ryle, who had been contemplating for a while, suddenly suggested. Without any suspicion, Hae-jin nodded. It was still an ambiguous time, so it would be good to have dinner after taking a bath.

He felt a little excited at the thought of eating together for the first time in a while.

* * *

“…You said we were going to take a bath.”

“To be exact, I asked, ‘Shall we take a bath?'”

Ryle, who had subtly approached, carefully grabbed the collar of Hae-jin’s pajamas. Hae-jin swallowed dryly, feeling unnecessarily nervous. His index finger subtly touched the skin where his collarbone was. It was the place where Ryle had left a lot of marks yesterday, so his ears flushed.

Even when he was clearing the cushions out of the tub and busily filling it with water, Hae-jin was just blankly thinking that he was volunteering to prepare it again. He said it was okay, that he would do it himself, but he was suddenly lifted up and placed on a makeshift chair in the bathroom.

Hugging his knees, he fidgeted with his toes, and soon the bathroom was filled with a humid atmosphere. It was hard to believe that it was the same space that had been embracing soft cushions until just now.

Then, like he had thrown his tie on the floor yesterday, Ryle took off his clothes and approached. Only after he arrived in front of him, wearing only his underwear, did Hae-jin ask awkwardly. His gaze was naturally drawn to his sculpted body.

“I thought, I thought I was going to do it, uh, alone…”

“Don’t you want to?”

Ryle, who smiled sweetly, lifted Hae-jin’s chin and asked. This time, Hae-jin’s gaze was completely stolen by those blue eyes, and he swallowed dryly again. Yesterday’s affair, which he had spent sober and not in heat, had left more of an impact than he had expected.

To be exact, he had properly awakened him to what pleasure was.

“Huh? Hae-jin.”

The kisses that passed over his moist ears and down to his cheeks and chin were ticklish. Before he knew it, Ryle’s hands had completely unbuttoned Hae-jin’s pajamas. The air, which he had felt was warm, felt quite cool on his bare skin.

As he leaned back slightly, the cold bathroom tiles touched his back. The pajamas that had been down to his waist fell to the floor with a thud.

Ryle, who had one arm propped against the wall, lowered his head slightly and sucked on Hae-jin’s earlobe. Hae-jin’s body trembled, expecting another kiss. Confined between the wall and Ryle, he turned his gaze to the tub, where the clothes he had taken off were stretched out on the floor like a signpost.

Ryle’s hands, which had been groping his waist as he pleased, slowly went down to his buttocks. Ryle, who had subtly hooked his fingers inside his underwear, asked again with a look. What should I do?

Hae-jin, who swallowed dryly again, nodded to mean it was okay.

“Ah…!”

At that moment, his body was suddenly lifted up. Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around Ryle’s neck, and his bare skin touched, causing his waist to tremble again.

Ryle, who was holding Hae-jin with one hand, skillfully took off his pants and approached the tub. It was such an embarrassing thing that he wanted to stop him, but he couldn’t do it with his body floating in the air. As he blinked a few times, not knowing what to do, he was inside the tub.

“…”

Sometimes Hae-jin couldn’t help but feel that Ryle was too strong. He knew that Alphas were originally physically superior, but he lifted Hae-jin up so easily that it was excessive.

Ryle, who had first seated Hae-jin well, then took his place behind him. He was flustered because he thought he was going to the other side, so he tried to avoid his gaze, but his body was immediately grabbed. The water in the tub splashed greatly.

“There’s, there’s room on, on that side, too.”

“I know.”

He always answered well, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being subtly drawn in. Unaware that he was squinting, Ryle put his lips to the back of Hae-jin’s ear again and laughed lowly. His shoulders were pressed tightly together without a gap. As a result, the back of the place they were facing trembled together.

He was used to Ryle hugging him from behind. But it felt quite different to sit in the tub with bare skin touching like this. It felt strangely cramped in the large tub where there was room for the two of them to lie side by side.

“It’s a little warmer now.”

Ryle, who was holding his hand and fondling it as he pleased, said something incomprehensible. Hae-jin looked out the window in confusion, wondering if it had been cold on the way here.

As soon as he turned his head, Ryle’s lips touched his cheek, which had gotten closer. It was a natural movement, as if he had a magnet attached. It was as if he knew in advance that Hae-jin would turn his head.

It was a kiss that he had already received so many times that his lips were worn out, but for some reason, he felt even more embarrassed. Making a splashing sound, Hae-jin sat back stiffly.

Ryle, who had deliberately not added bath salts, released his pheromones to the fullest as if to replace them. A pleasant scent lingered subtly around him. Combined with the hot steam, it made Hae-jin’s mind quite hazy. The refreshing energy that reminded him of the forest felt good.

However, Ryle, as if amused by his nervousness, acted as if he was trying to enjoy the bath itself calmly. He grabbed Hae-jin a few more times and kissed him moistly, and then leaned back as if that was enough.

Hae-jin, who had been swallowing dryly between his arms, gathered his knees and hugged them, pretending not to think anything. It was a big problem because an uncomfortable heat was constantly gathering in the middle. He tried hard not to pay attention to the twitching between his buttocks.

He didn’t want to be caught having such explicit thoughts alone, so he tried to control his pheromones. Of course, it was still difficult to do consciously, so he chose to quickly turn his thoughts elsewhere.

But how can I think about anything else here?

“Is there anything you want to eat? For dinner.”

“Umm…”

Fortunately, Ryle changed the subject first. It was a natural change of subject, as if Hae-jin was clearly the only one who had strange thoughts. While touching his ears for no reason, he also naturally looked back on what he had eaten today.

He had eaten a late breakfast and then a late lunch, so he wasn’t very hungry yet. Still, Hae-jin listed as many foods as possible in his head.

Saying he had no appetite had become almost like a forbidden word. He didn’t want to see Ryle make a dark face again. And anyway, he would definitely want to eat something in a little while.

“Eating out is okay, too. How about it?”

Watching Hae-jin, who was wiggling his toes as much as he wanted, thinking he wouldn’t be able to see them in the water, Ryle swallowed a laugh. Recently, he had become able to look at him with sharp eyes from time to time. He was secretly glaring at Ryle in his own way, but it was hard to hide from him, who was observing where each of those gazes was directed.

He cast a cool gaze out the window as if jealous. Hae-jin’s gaze had been unconsciously directed there since a while ago. The emblem of the headquarters, where he had been dryly handling work until just now, was clearly visible.

However, since he said he liked it, the night view of the street was particularly good today. Even though he knew it was an excuse, the unusually sparkling lights were quite nice. Ryle ignored the fact that the boring headquarters building was visible there.

Even if it was a scene he saw every day, it was new to him just because Hae-jin was in it.

“Eating out…”

He also knew that Hae-jin had eaten lunch late, of course. Besides, he had been asleep until just now, so he wouldn’t be hungry right now. Still, he was driven to madness by the sight of him pursing his lips and carefully considering the menu.

He wanted to pretend not to know because he hadn’t eaten yet, but he wanted to give him what he wanted with that sweet pheromone that had leaked out a little while ago.

“Or will I feel like eating if we exercise a little?”

Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself, he put his arms back around his waist, which he had let go of for a while. As soon as he touched that soft skin, his desire flashed and raised its head.

He gradually manipulated the lips that had been pressing down with an air of nonchalance into something more viscous. He ran his tongue over the teeth marks he had left yesterday, licking them thickly before sucking them up again. His hand, which had been crawling up the side of Hae-jin’s thigh like a snake in the water, burrowed between his legs, which were tightly closed as if hiding something.

His penis, stiffened with a little force, was caught in one hand.

“Ugh… Hah, don’t…”

Wasn’t he supposed to do nothing? Hae-jin, caught off guard, reflexively turned around in surprise. Then, seeing Ryle’s face, he momentarily lost his words.

Even when he didn’t go to work, Ryle tended to maintain a perfect appearance. So, the sight of his slightly wet hair falling forward was unfamiliar. It was a natural look right after waking up, but Hae-jin was also too distracted in the morning to observe him closely.

Seeing his hair slightly clinging to that handsome forehead made Hae-jin swallow hard for some reason. He couldn’t hide his troubled expression, feeling like he had become a pervert, and could only clutch at his innocent knees. No matter how much he twisted his waist, the burrowing hand persistently gripped his penis.

At that moment, his body was suddenly pulled back. Immediately, something hard and huge poked his back. It was strange that he hadn’t noticed its presence until now. Only then did the pheromone surrounding him immediately change its color.

Filled with very explicit desire.

Hae-jin clearly felt the desire raging within his own body in response. It seemed he wasn’t the only one having lewd thoughts.

However, he couldn’t say he was relieved about this, so he made a troubled, tearful face.

“You told me not to ask about everything.”

As if asking with his eyes why he was suddenly acting like this again, Ryle told Hae-jin the answer in a voice full of passion. Thanks to that, he seemed to realize the mistake he had made in the past, his eyes widening.

Deliberately wearing a smile on his lips as if teasing him, his eyes turned sulky again. Even that was so lovely that his self-control kept thinning like a spider web, thinner and thinner, as if it would break at any moment.

“How is it, I listen well, right? Huh?”

However, Ryle desperately controlled himself, who was trying to run wild ferociously. He just gently and tenderly caressed Hae-jin’s body little by little. The corners of his eyes, which had been at a loss, quickly turned red.

So, don’t abandon me.

He chewed on the words he desperately wanted to add and swallowed them inside. He didn’t want to provoke Hae-jin, who was already forcibly carrying something heavy. Wouldn’t it be enough for him to do better so that he couldn’t think of anything else?

Since he liked sweet things, he would constantly leave only good things near him. He had the ability to pour all the sweet things in the world onto Hae-jin.

“Ah…!”

He had caressed Hae-jin’s penis with his mouth many times, but he had never actually done it with his hand like this. He never had the leisure to play with his hands leisurely.

As he gently rolled the tip with his thumb and stroked it a little, it quickly stood up stiffly. Because he kept twisting his waist and reflexively running away, he lifted him up and sat him on his lap. Hae-jin, who was even lighter in the water, was easily swept away by Ryle.

“Ah, wait, if you do that, ugh, then…, haah…”

He greedily inserted his own erect penis, which had been erect since earlier, between Hae-jin’s legs. Hae-jin kept trying to close his legs, as if he was awkward in this situation. When he deliberately let go, he quickly moved his knees until they touched.

Then, it looked like he had Ryle’s penis between his thighs. He slightly grabbed Hae-jin’s chin, who was looking down with an expression that said something was wrong. When he subtly put strength into his fingers, asking him to look at him, his red eyes quickly turned back.

He swallowed his lips without even having time to endure. At the same time, he grabbed both his and his penis in one hand. His thighs quickly twitched and tightened, as if it was stimulating. Swallowing a sigh-like moan together, Ryle moved his hand again.

“Hah, heup, ugh, heu…”

A pleasure that seemed to melt like the water in the bathtub washed over Hae-jin again. Ryle drove Hae-jin with a more intense and persistent movement than yesterday.

As he said, he was incredibly hungry after exercising.
