“I’m sorry for being a crazy bastard. I’m sorry for not letting you go. I’m sorry for chasing you to the end and monopolizing you. Even though Tae-hwon didn’t want me. Even though you kept rejecting me, I… I got Tae-hwon in the most betraying form of Tae-hwon’s wishes.”
Taking a deep breath, they looked at each other. As if wanting to be sure again and again, they confirmed each other’s existence and repeatedly examined that they were contained in each other’s eyes. In the light gray eyes and the dark black eyes, there was each other.
“I was wrong.”
“……”
“For not being a good boy.As Kwon Rae-i confessed, Tae-hwon’s eyes shook noticeably.
But in his shaking eyes, Kwon Rae-i was still contained. As if deliberately stuck, he couldn’t come off.
“You, you, don’t say things like that.”
Tae-hwon replied in a fluster. His voice was very low and trembling.
“Why?”Kwon Rae-i asked back, and Tae-hwon swallowed a hot breath that was overwhelming.”
“I never wanted you to be good. I wanted the world to be good to you. Gyeongjeong was a ruthless and harsh place for you.The son of a concubine, with a face that didn’t resemble his father, with innate albinism and a frail body. No matter how you looked at it, Gyeongjeong was a world that wasn’t kind to him. So Tae-hwon only wishes that Kwon Rae-i would live a little more comfortably, cozy, and happily in the bright outside, warm sunshine.
“Really? Is that how it is?”He asked again.” Faint sunlight seeped in, creating slender beams of light that hung like threads connecting the two people. The parallel lines that seemed like they could never meet have overlapped and become one in this place. A gap of ten years and a void had connected us as one.
Only then did I finally realize that everything was completely connected.
“Then, is it okay for me to be with Tae-hwon? Here?”
Gyeongjeong had become Kwon Rae-i’s. Now, no one would dare to harm him, and everyone would bow their heads and honor him. He had risen to the supreme position above all others, and he would remain at that pinnacle thereafter.
Gyeongjeong was no longer a ruthless and harsh place for Kwon Rae-i.
In this world, Kwon Rae-i would be more free than anyone else.
That alone was enough for Tae-hwon.
It didn’t matter if it was a distorted standard. It was fine even if he received criticism from the public. If only Kwon Rae-i, only his lovely young master, could be safe…
“There’s nowhere else to go, now.His long-standing worries have faded. The past that Kwon Rae-i was worried about gradually leaves her well-being.
“Come here.Tae-hwon whispered softly and patted his back.
Kwon Rae-i felt like it was the first time in a long time that he had felt that touch.
He was tapping lightly, lightly, as if to comfort, patting my back, and it felt so welcome that my heart seemed to ache. I was overwhelmed and my fingertips trembled. Kwon Rae-i’s throat rose and fell as dry saliva went down. The jawline was distinctly prominent.
“Tae-hwon, really? Can I go to Tae-hwon?”Um… I’m already hugging, right?”
“That’s true, but still… is it still okay?”
“Yeah.”Hearing the answer she had hoped for, Kwon Rae-i let out a rough sigh and fiercely embraced Tae-hwon.” The body that was already overlapping was pushed back by his strength, taking a step back. Kwon Rae-i pushed Tae-hwon to the bed and, while laying him on the mattress, asked him again.
“I… want to reach a little more.”The breath on his shoulder rose. He took a deep breath and slowly buried his face. The hot warmth that was conveyed along Tae-hwon’s nape slowly soaked into his skin.
Then, a breath mixed with trembling was heard.
“I want to kiss you. Is that okay?””
“……”
“I think I’ll be rough.” I can’t control it. Still?Tae-hwon couldn’t respond easily and remained silent. Every fingertip, every breath, and even the smallest movement was a stimulus to each other. It felt as if the relief of finally connecting with my heart and the intense desire that followed were vividly clear.
The two eyes met again. Even in the darkness, the longing for each other shone clearly. Kwon Rae-i quietly sought permission, and Tae-hwon finally nodded. At that moment, as if she could no longer hold back, Kwon Rae-i lunged forward.
“Ugh!””In an instant, the lips were swallowed.”
As I had warned, I violently covered her lips, biting down as my tongue delved inside. The emotions that had built up burst forth, and I craved deeply and roughly. Tae-hwon gasped in surprise, while Kwon Rae-i exhaled and pulled her body closer. The overlapping legs were tightly stuck together and entangled.
“Um, uh, haah.”The hand moved. Although it was a slow touch, the desire to crave was also felt openly. It seemed to overflow. Kwon Rae-i’s large hand lifted Tae-hwon’s pajamas and crawled inside. I gently stroked the bare side and asked with a hint of doubt.
“Phew, Tae-hwon.” But… do you remember that?”Mmm, what?”
“When Tae-hwon lost his memory. We slept together. A lot.”
“……”
Ugh, that’s what he was talking about.
Tae-hwon frowned, feeling a subtle emotion. I wondered if I should pretend that I didn’t remember for a moment, as if it were something I didn’t know. However, I thought that it couldn’t be helped and swallowed a difficult sigh.
“…I remember.”Right, isn’t it?” I had a feeling when I saw you speaking informally to me… Just in case. I might be surprised.Kwon Rae-i folded her eyes and slipped her hand into her pajamas. The fingers that touched Tae-hwon’s chest moved skillfully.
“……!”Tae-hwon was startled.” The sensation conveyed every time our skin touched was distant. It felt electrifying and my mind turned completely blank. Seeing that it definitely reacted, Kwon Rae-i grinned fiercely and asked a predictable question.
“Do you remember that we decided to date?””…Okay.”That we decided to love?””…Um.””Tae-hwon said he loves Rae-i.” Don’t you know?Kwon Rae-i, this was a habit. Even though I know, I still try to receive affirmation. Tae-hwon wrapped his hand around the back of his neck instead of giving a cliché answer and kissed him again. The gasping breath was swallowed, and the hot tongue mixed in familiar ways. The soft and moist flesh slid pleasantly.
They wanted each other more. I wanted to feel this way longer. In the completely unified sensation, the two people intertwined even more intensely. I accepted the other person and poured out just as much. As if competing with each other.
* * *
I don’t know how engrossed they were in kissing. Kwon Rae-i hurriedly moved her hands and took off the clothes. The deep blue silk pajamas seemed to tear as they fell over my head. There was no time to unbutton. She raised her arms to finish taking off her clothes and we pressed our lips together again.
The tangled tongue felt excessively hot, as if it were burning. The transparent saliva intertwined and stretched long, and the lips that rubbed against each other turned red with heat.
Kwon Rae-i, whose excitement reached its peak, asked while clearly massaging Tae-hwon’s chest.
“Can I continue to do this?””While asking for permission with words, that hand was already moving without hesitation.” With my right hand, I was firmly gripping the lower part of my breast and scratching the slightly protruding nipple with my thumb, while with my left hand, I was kneading the flesh and muscles of my chest as if I were kneading dough. Tae-hwon replied anxiously, shaking his knees.
“Why are you asking? Would you stop if I said no?”
“No. That would be difficult.Kwon Rae-i growled lowly and pressed against Tae-hwon’s core with her thigh. Even without that, it had already been half-erect and became even stiffer due to the stimulation. Trapped in the pants, he kept bumping into Tae-hwon’s swollen one with his waist. His had also been erect for quite some time, and the center was hard like a weapon.
“I wanted to see Tae-hwon. I really missed you……. I took care of Tae-hwon while he was asleep every day, but it wasn’t like this.Kwon Rae-i lowered her head and got closer to the pinched nipple. Then, I began to gently lick the small protruding stone with the tip of my tongue. Whether it was because the body had been asleep for a long time and reacted strongly to even the slightest touch, or because it had become sensitive from being carefully developed as Kwon Rae-i said, each time it was licked, it leaned back a little more.
“Ah, ugh!”Tae-hwon frowned and pouted. I just wanted to escape from the awkward position I was in, but the more I squirmed, the more my lower body intertwined against my will.
