At first, he had no idea what was happening, but as Cha Se-jin’s pheromones grew thicker with every rub of their bodies, Eun-won felt his thighs instinctively tighten and a pulling sensation in his lower abdomen, and he finally realized what it was.
Startled, Eun-won placed his hands on Cha Se-jin’s shoulders. However, there was no strength in his hands, and he couldn’t push him away even an inch. In truth, it wasn’t that he wanted to push… he was plagued by a strange, troubling impulse to pull him closer.
“Want to do more?”
“…….”
“Or should we stop?”
The first question echoed in his mind, but he had no choice but to nod at the second. At Eun-won’s answer, Cha Se-jin, who had been pressing down heavily on him, stepped back.
Even though the pressure of the body had vanished, the sensation of Cha Se-jin still weighing him down heavily lingered for a moment. Feeling the strange sensation between his legs, Eun-won quickly turned toward the wall.
“I should go now. I can’t stay here any longer. Ah, how are we going to live together… It’ll be like this every day. Your scent will be all over the house when I walk in, right?”
Approaching Eun-won again from behind, Cha Se-jin pushed aside the collar of Eun-won’s neat shirt and buried his lips and nose into the pale, clear skin of his shoulder.
As he sucked on the soft skin and inhaled deeply, a wave of arousal and lethargy washed over him simultaneously. It was only natural that the intense desire to have sex shook his mind. He felt as if he would lose his sanity if he stayed in contact with Eun-won for just a moment longer. After planting a light kiss on the white shoulder where the mark of his lips remained, Cha Se-jin stepped back abruptly.
“I’m leaving. I’ll tell them something urgent came up, so don’t come down. If you come down too, people will wonder what we were doing for so long. We barely did anything.”
Speaking playfully, Cha Se-jin stroked the head of Eun-won, who still couldn’t bring himself to turn around, and left the room. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would get a full erection.
In all his life, he had never been in a room that aroused him this much. Descending the stairs two at a time, Cha Se-jin greeted Seo Jun-hyeok and Yeo Hee-jin—who had jumped up in surprise seeing him come down alone—with a perfectly nonchalant face.
“Something urgent came up suddenly, so I have to head out for today. Eun-won seemed to have a bit of a headache, so I told him to say goodbye from upstairs and not to come down.”
“Is something wrong…?”
“No. It’s nothing to worry about. Thank you for inviting me today. I’ll see you at the wedding hall.”
Knowing that he needed to maintain proper etiquette to avoid giving anyone an excuse to criticize him, Cha Se-jin stood straight and bowed politely before leaving the house. He greeted the two people who had followed him out despite being told he didn’t need them to, and then climbed into his waiting car.
Once he left the room that had made him horny just by existing in it and saw people he didn’t particularly care for, his arousal subsided quickly. Feeling reasonably composed, Cha Se-jin told the driver to head home and leaned back deeply into the seat.
“…….”
The image of Eun-won’s back—rubbing against him in the darkness, aroused, and standing facing the wall to hide it—flickered in his mind.
Cute, erotic… and a total turn-on.

While he wanted the whole world to know he was marrying someone beautiful, he had no intention of inviting trashy people to the wedding. Cha Se-jin sent invitations only to acquaintances who wouldn’t cause a scene. Lacking the sincerity to meet each person individually to hand out invitations, he sent them all via mobile, and everyone reacted with surprise at the sudden news.
As he reminded them one by one that it was real in response to cliché replies like “Really?” “Huh?” “What?” and “What is this?”, messages flooded the group chat where Kang Seo-hoo and Do Hae-jun were. Entering the chat, Cha Se-jin laughed at Kang Seo-hoo, whose reaction was far more creative than the others.
[Kang Seo-hoo: Hey, Cha Se-jin, change your number.]
[Kang Seo-hoo: I just got a wedding invitation phishing scam from your number.]
[Do Hae-jun: Hey, me too.]
[Do Hae-jun: Did you lose your phone?? Isn’t this just a mass blast from your contacts?]
[Kang Seo-hoo: If I go there, I’m fucked.]
[Do Hae-jun: Fuck, he’s harvesting organs.]
[Kang Seo-hoo: Ah, fuck.]
Tsking at the two of them for turning his wedding into a crime procedural, Cha Se-jin posted the wedding invitation photo in the group chat again. The number ‘2’ next to it disappeared instantly, but the reaction didn’t come immediately. He had clearly told them to keep the 22nd open, but seeing their reaction, it seemed they thought it was a lie and didn’t believe him at all.
[Do Hae-jun: ?]
[Kang Seo-hoo: You’re actually doing it? What you said before was real?]
[Do Hae-jun: The week after next??]
[Kang Seo-hoo: This is insane.]
[I told you before.]
[Kang Seo-hoo: Who the hell believes that?]
[Do Hae-jun: I’m off work now, Obsi?]
[Kang Seo-hoo: 30 mins.]
[20 mins.]
After checking the messages suggesting they meet at Obsidian—a hotel bar they frequented—Cha Se-jin gave a brief reply and turned his car around. Since Eun-won said he had to study for exams until late and they agreed not to meet for a day, he happened to have some free time.
Since the driver would pick Eun-won up if he finished late, there was nothing to worry about, and since he felt like having a drink for the first time in a while, he had been thinking about calling Kang Seo-hoo and Do Hae-jun anyway. The timing was perfect.
Arriving first after a 20-minute drive, Cha Se-jin was guided into a private room and ordered a glass of whiskey. He didn’t forget to order the things Do Hae-jun and Kang Seo-hoo liked: melon with prosciutto, cannoli, marinated olives, and caprese.
Unlike him, who focused on the alcohol, Do Hae-jun and Kang Seo-hoo loved pairing their drinks with food. Even though he had ordered this much, they would probably order a bunch of other things.
As he was drinking the whiskey that arrived immediately, Kang Seo-hoo arrived. Facing a barrage of questions from the moment he walked in, Cha Se-jin looked exhausted and popped a tart olive into his mouth.
“No, seriously, how is that real?”
“I said it’s real, so it’s real. You want to keep bitching about it?”
“Bitching or not, I mean, why are you getting married so fast? Why did you dump Jae-hyuk? You’re weirder than Jae-hyuk right now.”
“So what?”
“No, I knew you guys were crazy, but… why are you both doing a wedding like this? What were all the weddings I’ve seen until now? Is that the weird part?”
“Can you not speak without starting every sentence with ‘No’?”
“No, do I look like I can stop right now?”
After listening for a while, the word ‘no’ started sounding strange to him. He began to regret it, thinking it would have been better to just go home, swim, and drink alone, when Do Hae-jun walked in with the exact same expression as Kang Seo-hoo.
“No, are you for real?”
“Are these bastards insane? All they do is say ‘no, no’ the moment they open their mouths.”
Taking off his suit jacket and draping it carelessly over a chair, Do Hae-jun sat down and popped a piece of melon into his mouth, as if thirsty.
“He says it’s real. Why did Gi-jae get cursed out?”
“Hey, did I cut ties with you guys because I was marrying like that bastard? Don’t compare me to a guy who cut people off while lecturing them about not knowing love.”
“True… that guy was a bit much. I thought he was possessed. Acting like he was the only one in the world experiencing a love for the ages.”
“I’m perfectly sane. Don’t compare me to that kind of prick. And don’t talk shit about me getting married.”
“Even if we don’t, Chairman Cha will probably invite Chairman Gi. Then Gi-jae will come.”
“I know, but I’m telling you not to bring him. You guys don’t even keep in touch anyway.”
Nodding, Do Hae-jun called the server and ordered several more drinks and a few more pairing dishes. Calling it ‘pairing’ was a stretch; they were essentially full dinner courses.
“Are you really confident? Living with someone else isn’t easy.”
“Living is living.”
“No, I’m saying you can’t just say it that simply. Be honest. Have you ever slept with someone you had sex with until the morning?”
“I haven’t.”
“So for you, it’s just over once you cum?”
At Kang Seo-hoo’s blunt words, Do Hae-jun cursed and glared at him. He looked as if he were facing something repulsive. Cha Se-jin also frowned openly and looked at Kang Seo-hoo.
“No, this is important. Have you ever showered together after?”
“Why would I?”
“Ever said things like ‘today was great’ after finishing?”
“Again, why would I have to do that?”
“See? I told you he can’t get married. You can’t live with another person. What are you planning to do?”
“So why the hell are you worrying about it?”
“Because I’m afraid you’ll get married damn fast and get divorced even faster. And I heard the Baum son is twenty. What sin did he commit? Think carefully even now. Try living together for a few months first.”
Watching the surprisingly serious Kang Seo-hoo, Do Hae-jun burst into laughter and lightly kicked the leg of the chair.
