Wildcat 50

Dreamlike times flow by quickly. Yumin had been feeling the truth of that saying lately. After the sweet honeymoon ended and they returned to daily life, the two became busier than ever.

Tae-jun’s studio apartment was fine for the two of them to live comfortably, but it wasn’t suitable when considering the children they would have. To Yumin, who was inwardly pondering their housing situation, Tae-jun offered a clear solution. He suggested they move into the apartment he inherited.

‘You had an apartment too?’

‘Yeah. And a building besides that, want to see it?’

‘Later.’

Tae-jun’s wealth was far greater than Yumin had vaguely imagined. Curious, Yumin asked Tae-jun about the source of his fortune, and after a moment’s hesitation, he spoke honestly.

‘It’s because I have the Tiger God’s blessing.’

‘Tiger God?’

‘Yeah. Ever since our family accepted the deity, we’ve never once suffered financial hardship.’

‘That’s amazing.’

‘Well, it’s a very powerful god.’

According to Tae-jun, his ancestors had run a large business, and the inheritance was so immense that their descendants could live comfortably for several generations without doing much. Therefore, the inheritance Tae-jun had already received was substantial.

Only then did Yumin understand everything.

In truth, he didn’t care much whether Tae-jun had a lot of money or not. What mattered more was how much he loved Tae-jun, and how much love Tae-jun showered upon him. And in that regard, Yumin was very satisfied.

Still, thanks to Tae-jun’s wealth, he was very pleased to be able to start their married life in an environment suitable for raising children.

Yumin exclaimed in admiration as he looked around the new house.

“This is so nice!”

“Do you like it?”

“Yeah. I really do. I think the babies will like it too.”

“That’s a relief.”

Tae-jun smiled and hugged Yumin. Although they hadn’t fully moved in yet, Yumin already liked this house. It wasn’t just because it was clean and spacious. Whether it was truly due to the Tiger God’s blessing, as he said, he felt a warm energy and a sense of stability within the house. He felt that their children could grow up healthy here.

Time flowed quickly, and the due date was approaching. For the children soon to be born, Tae-jun and Yumin began the most important preparation: naming the children.

“How about this? Yurang, Yuyang.”

“Rejected.”

“Ah, why!”

“If possible, I want to take one character from your name and one from mine.”

Yumin bristled at Tae-jun’s rejection, but he understood the reason.

“Then, combining Tae and Yu… Tae-yu?”

“It’s not bad… Hmm.”

Tae-jun was equally conflicted. He wanted to choose a name carefully for their precious children, but it wasn’t as easy as he thought. Moreover, since they were twins, he had to prepare two wonderful names.

After much discussion, the two finally managed to name their children. Taking a character from Tae-jun’s name and one from Yumin’s, they decided to name the first child Tae-min and the second Yujun.

“It’s perfect!”

“I like it too.”

Tae-jun smiled and stroked Yumin’s belly. Yumin, who was leaning against Tae-jun’s chest, half-embraced, suddenly spoke as if he remembered something. It was a matter he had been contemplating for a few days.

“…Giving birth, it’s going to hurt a lot, isn’t it?”

“Are you worried?”

“A little scared.”

Due to the nature of male Beastmen, natural childbirth was impossible, so Yumin was scheduled for a Cesarean section. However, the labor pains that accompanied the process were unavoidable. Yumin was concerned about that.

“Don’t worry.”

“Why?”

“I’ve already thought of everything.”

“What is it?”

“It wouldn’t be fun if I told you. I’ll tell you later.”

Tae-jun whispered, kissing Yumin’s temple. Yumin was curious about what Tae-jun was thinking, but he decided to wait until Tae-jun told him himself.

And the secret Tae-jun had spoken of was revealed on the day of the birth.

“Huh? That’s strange.”

Lying on the bed in the specialized Beastman hospital, preparing for delivery, Yumin felt a sense of bewilderment. He had been experiencing labor pains just a moment ago, but as soon as the preparations began, the pain vanished as if it had never existed.

“Tae-jun, I don’t hurt at all. It doesn’t make sense.”

“…That’s a relief.”

Yet, strangely, Tae-jun’s complexion was not good. He was sweating profusely and clenching his teeth tightly, looking as if he were enduring intense pain.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Yumin, who had relatively more ease, asked, but Tae-jun only furrowed his brow and offered no further answer.

“I’m fine. I’m perfectly fine, so go ahead.”

“Uh-huh, okay… Are you really okay?”

“Of course. Naturally.”

Tae-jun forced a smile, but Yumin remained uneasy. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed as if Tae-jun, not Yumin, was the one about to give birth right now.

“Are you really okay?”

“I told you I’m okay.”

Even as he was about to enter the operating room, Yumin was worried about Tae-jun. As time passed, Tae-jun’s complexion grew worse. Leaving him, who answered with groans through clenched teeth, was a great concern. However, they couldn’t postpone the surgery.

The fact that it was a hospital at least offered some reassurance that if something happened to Tae-jun, he could be treated immediately. Yumin entered the operating room with a lingering sense of unease.

Once he confirmed the operating room door had closed, Tae-jun collapsed onto the floor. He had acted as if he were fine in front of Yumin, but it was his limit. If he had stayed any longer, he might have screamed. As if he were the one giving birth.

This was the secret Tae-jun had hidden from Yumin. Tae-jun’s family, who worshipped the Tiger God, had a special incantation passed down. Recalling something he had overheard from an elder in his family, Tae-jun searched through old texts while Yumin was away and found the incantation. It was a spell that transferred all the pain of the marked individual to oneself.

He did not want Yumin to suffer while giving birth. If possible, he wanted to bear all the pain himself. There was no hesitation for a single moment. He had memorized the incantation and made all the preparations in advance, keeping it a complete secret from Yumin. He was sure Yumin would try to stop him if he knew the truth.

Although he was prepared, the pain was more severe than he had anticipated. Even while telling Yumin he was fine, he was not fine at all. He resolved to endure until he saw Yumin off, enduring the stabbing pain in his abdomen. And fortunately, Yumin went in for surgery without noticing.

Now, all that remained was the Cesarean section. He would have to endure the pain of his flesh being cut open, but Tae-jun was mentally prepared. It was better for him to be in pain than for the being more precious than anything in the world to suffer.

Tae-jun took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

“So cute.”

Yumin exclaimed repeatedly. After waking from the anesthesia, two adorable children awaited him. With their round ears, soft downy fur, and lovely features, they were beautiful baby tigers and baby wildcats.

The children were still too young to open their eyes. Naturally, they couldn’t transform into humans yet. They were simply adorable baby animals. But even in that state, Yumin could see that the two children resembled him and Tae-jun.

“You worked hard.”

Tae-jun held Yumin’s hand and smiled gently. He looked better than before Yumin went into surgery, but his complexion was still not good.

“Tae-jun, are you okay now? Your face is still pale.”

“No, I’m fine. I got a check-up while you were in surgery.”

“Oh? What did they say?”

“They said my stomach was a bit damaged from stress. It’s nothing serious.”

“Well, that’s a relief, but…”

Tae-jun quickly changed the subject. He didn’t want Yumin to find out the truth and get hurt.

“The babies are so pretty.”

“Aren’t they? How can they be so lovely?”

Yumin carefully held the babies’ hands. Their small, delicate paws instinctively gripped his fingers tightly. Seeing that, a great wave washed over his heart. Tears welled up in Yumin’s eyes.

“Why are you crying?”

“I just can’t believe it.”

Tae-jun embraced Yumin and kissed his cheek.

“Now, these children are ours to protect.”

“Yes…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll do a good job.”

Yumin finally burst into tears. Tae-jun held Yumin and the two children close, making a firm resolution. He would protect them, no matter what.

Once Yumin recovered, they went on a trip. They decided to stay at Yumin’s hometown village for a while until the children grew a bit older. It would take time for the children to be able to humanize by their own will. In the meantime, both Tae-jun and Yumin agreed that it would be better to stay in an environment where they didn’t have to worry about other people’s gazes.

As they entered the village, Yumin’s parents and his great-uncle were waiting to greet them. Seeing their adorable grandchildren for the first time, his parents were overjoyed, their smiles stretching from ear to ear.

His great-uncle’s eyes were red.

“You’ve done well, you’ve done so well.”

He patted Yumin’s shoulder repeatedly, showering him with praise. He was deeply moved that Yumin, who had gone to Seoul to find a partner and promised to bring back baby wildcats, had achieved such a result.

After persuading his great-uncle, who wanted to throw a village festival immediately, Yumin’s family headed to the house Tae-jun had prepared in advance.

While Yumin focused on recovery, Tae-jun had visited the village several times, diligently making preparations. He bought old vacant houses and land in the village and renovated them into a home for their family. He rebuilt structures and created a garden for the children. Since they would be staying for several years until the children could humanize, he put his best effort into creating a new home.

“Wow!”

“It’s nice, isn’t it?”

“It’s more than nice, it’s magnificent!”

Yumin was delighted like a child. The vacant house, located deep within the village, was a place Yumin knew well. He was astonished that the desolate and lonely vacant house could be transformed so wonderfully.

“Is this why you’ve been so busy lately?”

“Yeah. I wanted to surprise you.”

“Thank you so much!”

Yumin smiled and hugged Tae-jun.

“Whoa, careful with the kids.”

“Ah, right.”

Tae-jun exclaimed in surprise as the children were almost caught between them. Yumin smiled sheepishly, then slightly pulled away from Tae-jun and kissed his lips. Tae-jun hugged the children closer and spoke in a deliberately sulky voice.

“Is that all?”

“I’ll give you the rest later.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

Yumin averted his gaze, looking shy. Tae-jun burst into laughter at his adorable expression.

After giving birth, childcare became entirely Tae-jun’s responsibility. Yumin hadn’t forced him. Tae-jun had voluntarily stepped forward to care for the children. Yumin, who had initially intended to help, changed his mind once he felt physically and mentally at ease. He subtly handed over the childcare to Tae-jun and enjoyed his dreamlike free time.

Naturally, this thought arose: they had two children, so why not have three? He even brought it up with Tae-jun.

“How about having one more?”

“You mean, let’s make a third child?”

“Yeah. Is that not good?”

“How could it not be? Come here, let’s make one right away.”

“Ack! Save me!”

On such days, a lighthearted game would often lead to a passionate night. Panting in Tae-jun’s arms, Yumin was overwhelmed with happiness.

The idea of having a third child became more concrete. He planned to discuss it thoroughly with Tae-jun once the twins were a bit older. Of course, all of this was thanks to Tae-jun. Because he took on all the childcare, Yumin felt it would be okay to have another child.

“Wow, it’s been a while.”

While Tae-jun watched the children, Yumin was organizing their luggage. The large items and furniture had already been installed, so only the small boxes of belongings needed to be sorted. Tae-jun had offered to do it, but Yumin stopped him. He wanted to handle this much himself.

And there was actually an item he felt embarrassed to show Tae-jun. It was his laptop.

Once, Yumin had recorded his ambitious project on this laptop. He had secretly written about his experiences with Tae-jun, even changing his name slightly to avoid recognition. He had broken into a cold sweat when Tae-jun almost discovered it, but now it was all a memory.

“Oh, what’s this?”

He put down the laptop and rummaged through a box of documents, when an unexpected item popped out. It was a report he had written for a class assignment.

Yumin sat down on a chair and slowly read the report. It was filled with content that he couldn’t even imagine now.

“Right, it was like this…”

At that time, Tae-jun had declared himself to be against marriage. Yumin remembered being quite disappointed when he heard that.

One truly never knows what life will bring. No matter how firmly one decides and proclaims something, values can change with a small trigger. There are things that only become clear with the passage of time.

“Hmm…”

After finishing the report, Yumin gave a playful smile. He felt like teasing Tae-jun with it today.

And as expected, Tae-jun was quite flustered.

“I said that?”

“Yes, you said it in a very strong tone.”

“That can’t be.”

“It’s written right here. What do you think, Beom Tae-jun?”

Tae-jun looked around in confusion. The children were sleeping soundly in their crib. He thought he could finally catch his breath, but then Yumin suddenly thrust the report at him and began to interrogate him.

Hearing his words, Tae-jun vaguely recalled it. He didn’t think he had spoken in such a strong tone, but there seemed to be no point in arguing. Resigned, Tae-jun declared his surrender.

“Yes, that’s right. It seems I did.”

“Are you still against marriage?”

“How could I be?”

Tae-jun retorted sternly. Yumin seemed quite upset by the fact that he had once been against marriage. Tae-jun understood the reason but felt there was no need to dwell on it and provoke him.

“You can see now, can’t you? If I were against marriage, would I have married you?”

“But fundamentally, you thought that way, didn’t you?”

“No. Of course, I might have thought that way in the past.”

“See.”

“Listen. I thought that way in the past, but now it’s completely different.”

“How is it different?”

Yumin opened his eyes slightly. Tae-jun smiled inwardly and obediently answered Yumin’s question.

“I changed after meeting you.”

“A little more specifically.”

“Okay. I’ll say it again. Everything changed after meeting you. I started thinking things I didn’t before, and I no longer feared pain. If it means you won’t be in pain, I can bear it all. And most importantly, I wanted to be happy, spending eternity with you.”

Yumin was silent for a moment. Tae-jun drove the point home again.

“I’ve said it many times, but I would choose to be with you even if I were reborn. That thought will never change.”

“Tae-jun…”

“Is this enough?”

When Tae-jun said this playfully, Yumin finally burst into laughter.

“Okay, okay. I was just teasing.”

“I figured.”

“Then, Beom Tae-jun, I have a request.”

“Yes, what is it?”

Yumin cleared his throat and asked in a low, serious voice. But he couldn’t hide his laughter.

“Give me a baby wildcat.”

Tae-jun also ended up laughing. And kissing Yumin’s lips, he answered without hesitation.

“Anything. I’ll raise them all.”

< Give me a baby wildcat, if you don’t want to see me go crazy! Main story complete >

Side story Wildcat 1

“Wow, when did you get so big?”

Yumin, who was changing Tae-min and Yujun’s clothes, gaped. Despite spending all day with their tails and ears out, unable to control their own bodies, the twins grew by the day.

“Tae-jun, look at this. The baby clothes I bought a month ago don’t fit.”

“It’s because they take after me. I weighed over 15kg when I was one.”

“Really?”

Human babies average around 10kg or less by their first birthday. Compared to that, Tae-min and Yujun were definitely large, though not quite 15kg. Tae-min, the tiger, was clearly bigger at first glance, while Yujun, the wildcat, was relatively smaller. Still, it was a world of difference compared to how tiny Yumin was around that age.

“Then how many kilograms were you, Yumin, back then?”

“…No comment.”

“What about your height? Don’t tell me you were small?”

“Shh!”

Even as an adult, Yumin, who was only around 30cm in his wildcat form, had a height complex. What good was a beastly spirit? Lacking in physical prowess, he was easily looked down upon among felines.

However, the twins, though young, were dignified, their bone structure already showing promise for growing into tall individuals. Yumin smiled contentedly as he looked at the babies’ long limbs.

‘I succeeded in improving the gene pool for the wildcat family.’

Yumin was overwhelmed with emotion at the fact that tall wildcats, never to be seen again, had been born. He scooped up Yujun and kissed his cheek.

“Tae-min is cute too!”

The baby tiger, who resembled Tae-jun so much he couldn’t live without him, was just as adorable. Yumin felt full just looking at Tae-min, with his sharp features and bright, alert eyes. Yumin pulled Tae-min into his other arm. Both babies purred simultaneously.

“Ah, I’m so happy.”

“You like it that much?”

“Of course. Tae-jun, don’t you like it? We have two such beautiful babies.”

“I like it too. I do… but…”

“Why are you trailing off?”

“Me, me?”

Yumin narrowed his eyes and scanned Tae-jun from head to toe. His uncharacteristic stammering and inability to speak were highly suspicious.

“Don’t you remember you said we should have a third? You said you’d raise them all if we just had them.”

“I remember. How could I forget that?”

“Then why do you look so displeased?”

“No, that’s not what I mean.”

“Hmph! That’s enough. Kids, let’s eat.”

Clearly sulking, Yumin walked out to the living room. Tae-jun, left alone on the master bedroom bed, let out a deep sigh.

‘Go Yumin, you know nothing.’

He pressed his throbbing temples. The truth was, Tae-jun was approaching his Great Heat Period.

After finding a mate and establishing a stable bond, Tiger God Beastmen experience heat cycles differently. They become utterly possessive of their mates, driven by an obsession to impregnate them, engaging in sex day and night. It’s common for them to push their partners to the brink of unconsciousness.

Tae-jun worried that he might become rough with Yumin during his heat as well. They had mated before, but this would be on a completely different level of intensity. Yumin could get hurt.

‘It’s not about a third child. My heat is coming as soon as next week, what do I do?’

Perhaps he should go to a secluded villa.

Tae-jun seriously resolved that he needed to stay away from Yumin.

“Look at this. Isn’t it fun?”

Yumin was busy shaking a foxtail-shaped toy in front of the crawling babies. He had ordered it from a cat supply online store recently, and it was excellent. Felines instinctively showed interest in fluttering objects, and the babies stretched out their tiny hands, trying hard to grab the toy.

“Kya!”

“Purr… Purr…”

The babies grabbed the foxtail with both hands and lay down. They rolled around, laughing happily. It was a scene of utter peace, yet Yumin’s mood was unsettled.

‘Does he not want a third child? Why?’

In fact, Tae-jun’s physical affection had decreased lately. Unlike before, when they had sex almost every day, he barely reacted even when Yumin touched him.

Yumin had tried to dismiss it as him being tired from taking care of the children, but when he connected it to Tae-jun’s evasiveness whenever the topic of a third child came up, he felt uneasy.

‘Could it be that he’s no longer attracted to me? We’ve been together for quite some time, and we’ve already had two children.’

It was a chilling thought. He knew it couldn’t be true, but once he started suspecting something, only bad thoughts came to mind. TV variety shows often featured couples struggling with sexlessness after childbirth. The drama Yumin was currently enjoying also featured a wife who cheated because her husband was sexless.

Yumin stood up abruptly and looked at himself in the full-length mirror. His round head and fringe hairstyle were neat, just as always. He had no particular hobby for styling his hair.

He didn’t feel like his face had deteriorated at all. Objectively, there was no change from before, and more importantly, Yumin believed himself to be quite attractive. His slightly upturned eyes, soft cheeks, and moderately full lips curved charmingly when he smiled.

His body hadn’t gained much weight before or after childbirth, and the only new addition was the C-section scar on his lower abdomen. However, he doubted that such a small scar would reduce Tae-jun’s libido.

‘Then, could it be… a fashion problem?’

Yumin slapped his knee. In the days when he was desperately trying to seduce Tae-jun, Yumin was a trendsetter. He bought expensive jackets and stylish sheer shirts, and only wore high-end brand shoes.

Didn’t he even insist on silk socks with a good feel when choosing socks? Although he had briefly worn bright yellow clothes and white socks at Tae-jun’s suggestion, Yumin was a beastman who was very sensitive about his attire.

“Wait a minute!”

Suddenly, Yumin’s gaze fell to his feet. He was wearing white socks, which had become a habit. The children had received black mittens as gifts from relatives, preserving the lineage of black-pawed wildcat descendants, but he himself had become a white-sock wearer.

“…This is it. White feet are the problem.”

Looking at his bleached-white feet, he found them bland. They lacked any stimulating flavor, nor were they mysterious. They were simply plain, without any distinctive charm. He couldn’t believe how he had lived wearing white socks until now.

As Yumin trembled, the doorbell rang. It was Yumin’s father. The twins were left with their grandfather once a week because they were too cute.

“You’re here already?”

“I couldn’t stand not seeing the children. Hurry and bring the twins out.”

“Okay. Just a moment.”

Soon, Tae-jun came out of the master bedroom and greeted his father-in-law. After carefully packing and handing over the items the babies would need, he gently placed them in the stroller. The twins, recognizing their grandfather, cheered excitedly.

“Have a good time, kids.”

“Goodbye, Father-in-law.”

As the children and Yumin’s father left, the house finally became quiet.

“Yumin. I’ll be in the study.”

“Why?”

“I have some books to read.”

Tae-jun vanished like the wind. Normally, he would have immediately kissed Yumin the moment they were left alone, but it was strange. Yumin repeatedly rubbed his dry face.

‘He really has lost his libido. Because I’m no longer attractive…’

He closed his eyes tightly. It was frustrating and sad, but he wasn’t an ordinary beastman. In terms of grit and determination, he was the best on Earth. He had even enrolled in Korea University to find a husband.

“Hoo… I can do this.”

Yumin still desired Tae-jun. As the father of his children, and as an incredibly attractive male. Yumin clenched his fist.

“Haa… I’m going crazy.”

He randomly picked a thick book, but Tae-jun couldn’t concentrate. He aimlessly flipped through the pages and then put it down. He had been trying hard to avoid Yumin since earlier. He had deliberately eaten when he thought the coast was clear to avoid running into him in the kitchen, and he covered his ears whenever he heard Yumin showering. Just imagining Yumin’s wet body made him hard.

According to his calculations, his Great Heat Period would start around the beginning of next week. He thought today, Saturday, would be fine, but his lower body kept getting hard. Even now, the thing between his legs was starting to stir.

“Maybe I should just finish myself off once.”

Tae-jun licked his lips and muttered. He thought masturbating alone now would calm his urges. Yumin rarely came into the study, so there was no risk of being caught.

In a corner of the study, there was a sofa, not as large as a bed, but quite big. It was a place where he and Yumin had sex in a hurry sometimes. Since they couldn’t fully stretch out, Yumin had to lift his legs high, and the sight was spectacular. He could vividly see the small pink opening struggling to accept him.

“Mmph.”

Just recalling past experiences made his penis stiffen. Tae-jun looked down at his pants and carefully gripped the zipper. Just as he was about to unzip. A faint moan was heard.

‘What was that?’

If Tae-jun hadn’t misheard, the sound came from beyond the wall. It was the direction of the master bedroom.

Once again, this time clearly, a panting moan was heard. It was Yumin’s voice.

Tae-jun pressed his ear against the wall. This wall was closest to the bedroom bed. The image of Yumin moaning on the bed flashed before his eyes.

-Aah… Haa… Eut, Ah….

The gasping moans grew louder. He was clearly masturbating. Tae-jun’s own member swelled like a club. It couldn’t get any harder.

Fearing that beastly sounds might escape, Tae-jun covered his mouth with one hand. What should he do with his pants, which felt like they were about to burst? If he masturbated here, he felt like he would cross into the next room and pounce on Yumin.

“Ugh!”

Just then. Tae-jun’s head rang. A dizziness he had never experienced before washed over him. Heat surged through his body as if a great fire had ignited within him. His throat was dry, and his insides burned. He felt suffocated, as if all the moisture in his body had evaporated.

Eventually, the heat moved to his lower abdomen. His fully erect member became as hard as stone.

He desperately wanted to thrust his penis into Yumin’s wet, soft opening. He felt like he was going crazy, wanting to storm into the next room and crush Yumin.

“Ah, no…!”

A part of his mind warned, ‘The Great Heat Period has come early. I must absolutely not touch Yumin. Stay put.’ At the same time, another part of Tae-jun whispered to throw such thoughts away and just follow his instincts without hesitation. He couldn’t easily choose one over the other.

Meanwhile, the gasping moans from beyond the wall continued to tease him.

-Eut, Tae… Tae-jun.

Yumin called his name. Tae-jun sprang to his feet. There was no longer time or reason to hold back.

Tae-jun burst out and roughly flung open the bedroom door. In the room, where all the lights were off and only a dim nightlight was on, he saw Yumin, naked, in the middle of the bed.

He was lying face down on the bed. As if he hadn’t even noticed Tae-jun enter, he began thrusting his hips. He let out high-pitched moans, seemingly enjoying rubbing himself.

“Haa, haa… Ah!”

His hip movements quickened. Accordingly, Yumin’s firm buttocks also swayed. Despite the lewd posture, his skin was too white and clean.

Tae-jun’s gaze swept from his buttocks to his slightly fleshy thighs and then to his pink knees before pausing. Yumin was wearing black socks from his slender ankles to his toes. As Yumin’s hand movements grew rougher, his toes inside the socks twitched visibly. It was absurd.

He was completely naked except for a pair of black socks, a sight that could be considered comical. However, the fact that he wasn’t entirely undressed stimulated Tae-jun’s lust. Furthermore, Yumin’s feet were pink in places, making Tae-jun’s mouth water just looking at them. Imagining his toes curling inside the socks, Tae-jun let out a rough voice without realizing it.

“Go Yumin.”

“Ta, Tae-jun?”

Yumin looked back, startled. Despite his flustered expression, an undeniable lewdness emanated from him. In front of Yumin, whose eyes were glazed and lips were flushed red, Tae-jun was helpless. Without hesitation, he approached the bed and covered Yumin’s body.

“Eut!”

“Who told you to do this?”

“Aht.”

“Hoo… Why were you doing this when I’m here? Hmm?”

Tae-jun grabbed and twisted Yumin’s nipple. Yumin flinched, letting out a shrill cry.

“Ah!”

“Go Yumin. Did you enjoy touching yourself?”

“Ah, no…!”

“Then?”

“It feels… Hup… much better when you touch me.”

Yumin said it felt ticklish but didn’t push Tae-jun’s hand away. Instead, he pressed his chest against Tae-jun’s fingertips and continued his hip movements. His ecstatic expression was quite endearing.

Tae-jun’s hand slid between Yumin’s buttocks. The small opening was tightly closed.

“This part.”

“Th-this part…”

“Did you poke it with your finger?”

“No, no.”

“Why? You touched the front, so why did you leave your hole alone?”

Tae-jun asked, rubbing the soft flesh at the entrance of the opening.

“My hands aren’t enough… I need yours… Hup… for something big to enter.”

“Our Yumin is very honest. Was this part feeling empty?”

“Euh… yes…”

“Then what should we do?”

“Put it in…!”

Yumin cried out urgently. Tae-jun laid Yumin flat on his back, then grabbed and spread his ankles. He buried his head between their exposed legs. He stuck out his tongue and licked around the opening.

“Aaang!”

Yumin writhed as Tae-jun deliberately sucked only his perineum and thighs. He felt the opening clench, but Tae-jun ignored the signal. Then, he suddenly pushed his tongue deep inside the opening.

“Aak!”

Yumin’s toes curled. His feet trembled as if he had been electrocuted. The trembling was transmitted to Tae-jun’s grip.

One of Yumin’s feet lifted and rested on Tae-jun’s pants. With his arched foot, he tantalizingly rubbed the large bulge. He vibrated gently with his toes, then lightly brushed Tae-jun’s instep. A suppressed groan escaped Tae-jun’s lips.

Yumin used his other foot as well. He gently massaged Tae-jun’s groin with both feet before pulling them away. Tae-jun firmly grasped both of his feet and rubbed his groin against the arch of his feet. He thrust his hips with sounds of impact, savoring the soft, yielding sensation.

“Haaht, Aaang!”

It felt strange. Just by putting on the socks he had been saving, his soles felt ticklish and hot. His ankles, held tightly by Tae-jun, tingled. With every movement Tae-jun made as if thrusting, a deep sense of arousal welled up.

Could he feel it with his feet too? It was an absurd hypothesis. But the reason he was heating up so much could only mean that his feet were erogenous zones.

Tae-jun was meticulously observing Yumin’s reactions. He figured out where to stimulate to make his toes curl more, and when he pointed his toes. Yumin was clearly feeling it with his feet.

He remembered the memory of being extremely aroused when he first saw Yumin’s bare feet. Their smooth skin and pink toes had been strangely erotic, perhaps a hint that his feet were erogenous zones.

“Hoo… Yumin.”

Tae-jun stopped his movements and caressed one of Yumin’s ankles.

“Take them off now. I want to see your bare feet.”

Without giving Yumin time to respond, Tae-jun yanked off the socks. Yumin, now completely unclothed, had a face full of shyness and anticipation. Tae-jun unbuckled the buckle that had been constricting him and unzipped his fly. His impressive member sprang out and twitched.

Side Story Wildcat 2

After grabbing Yumin’s bare feet, which were wearing nothing, Tae-jun lifted his leg. As he put his toes in his mouth and sucked, Yumin was startled.

“Ah! D-don’t!”

“Stay still.”

As he slid his tongue between his toes, Yumin let out a dying groan. It seemed his sensitive spots were indeed correct. Tae-jun persistently bit Yumin’s instep and licked around his ankle bone.

“Stop… please.”

Yumin clasped his hands together and pleaded. His exhausted expression was evident, but Tae-jun’s own situation downstairs was urgent. Tae-jun crushed him as if folding Yumin in half at the waist, aligning the tip of his penis with the softened hole.

“Ah!”

“Hng.”

His glans was large and hard, making entry difficult. He thought it would be fine since he had accepted his thrusts many times, but it seemed his body had become narrow again after a break from sex for a while. Tae-jun firmly held Yumin’s pelvis and thrust his penis in. With a thump, his lower half opened.

“Ah!”

Thick fluid spurted from Yumin. He had reached climax from the stimulation inside the hole alone, even without being touched beforehand. Yumin trembled violently and wrapped his arms around Tae-jun’s neck. Tae-jun willingly responded to the gesture, beginning to thrust.

“Aah! Ah!”

As the stimulation of penetration poured in while the pleasure of climax had not yet subsided, a thrill ran down his spine. The faster the penetration, the greater the pleasure became.

Tae-jun pressed Yumin’s wrists down onto the bed. It was an instinctive movement to bind his partner so they couldn’t escape during intercourse. Wanting to restrain Yumin completely, he gripped his slender wrists until they felt like they would be crushed.

“Yumin-ah.”

At the moment of climax, Tae-jun looked down into Yumin’s eyes. His face, wandering somewhere between pain and pleasure, was lovely. The strange movements and expressions, everything had originated because of him. That fact gave Tae-jun intense satisfaction.

The force thrusting inside became incredibly rough. Tae-jun, who had been pounding as if to penetrate deep into Yumin’s belly, finally gritted his teeth and ejaculated. Even amidst this, Yumin scratching his shoulders and back to cling to him felt endearing.

You are mine. As I always say, you are the mate I chose.

Tae-jun murmured to himself as he kissed the bridge of Yumin’s nose. Wouldn’t it be foolish to let go of such sweet prey? He would never let go. No, if he could possess Yumin even in death, he would gladly do so.

After going through the Great Heat Period, Yumin was bedridden for several days. His stamina was depleted, and his overworked lower body ached so much he couldn’t walk properly. Tae-jun, the cause of it all, attended to Yumin all day.

“Beom Tae-jun. I’m so tired.”

“I’m sorry. What can I do for you?”

“Grant me one wish.”

“What is it?”

“Actually, I want to see a Christmas tree.”

Tae-jun looked surprised at Yumin’s words.

“A tree? You’ve never seen one?”

“Not yet…”

“How did that happen?”

“This is a mountain village. No one prepares for Christmas. Even adults don’t attach meaning to Christmas.”

“I see. I didn’t know.”

This place, a clan village of the Go family, was so old-fashioned it could be mistaken for a historical drama set. It wasn’t rustic or backward, but with no tall buildings and everyone living in tiled-roof houses, it sometimes felt like the Joseon Dynasty.

“We don’t even play Santa. Other kids grew up believing in fake Santas, but the adults here weren’t interested in that sort of thing.”

Yumin looked quite dejected. Tae-jun stroked the crown of his round head and fell into deep thought.

“Alright. Then this year, I’ll make you a Christmas tree.”

“Really?”

“I don’t lie.”

“I’m so happy!”

Yumin kissed Tae-jun’s cheek with a smack. Even adults over twenty look forward to Christmas presents. Yumin, who was about to experience a proper Christmas for the first time in his life, was excited.

He was so thrilled that as soon as December began, he took out a large calendar and hung it up. Each day that passed, he drew a big ‘X’ on the date. He also enjoyed listening to Christmas carols. The twins, who had just started walking, danced along to the songs.

Finally, it was Christmas Eve. Since his parents had taken the twins early, only Yumin and Tae-jun were in bed. It was a thoughtful gesture so they could spend time together.

Yumin found it hard to fall asleep. He was curious about what kind of tree Tae-jun had prepared. He had actually looked around the house earlier, but the tree wasn’t visible. Thinking he might have hidden it, he searched closets and cupboards, but found no trace.

Where on earth did he hide it…

He would know when morning came. Yumin smiled contentedly and drifted off to sleep.

A few hours later, just as the sun rose, Yumin woke up. He stirred because the warmth of Tae-jun, who should have been beside him, was gone, and opened his eyes.

“Where did he go…”

Checking the cold bedsheet, Yumin sat up. Then, he saw an unfamiliar object at the head of the bed. A large, pitch-black, sock-shaped pouch.

“Oh?!”

Thinking it was Santa’s gift bag, Yumin smiled broadly and rummaged inside the sock. A small card was in his hand. Opening it, he saw Tae-jun’s handwriting.

Come to the pine tree on the back mountain.

Yumin jumped up and put on his clothes. He bundled up, wearing the black fur gloves and black hat Tae-jun had bought him. Laughter kept escaping him.

On his way running to the back mountain, Yumin spotted two large shadows in the distance. One was Tae-jun, and the other was a snowman.

“Wow…”

Yumin marveled at the snowman, which was as tall as Tae-jun. He couldn’t believe how big it was. Tae-jun approached, hugged Yumin tightly, and asked,

“How is it?”

“I love it. It’s exciting!”

“Shall we have a snowball fight?”

“Okay! I’ll win!”

The two of them forgot about time, engrossed in their snowball fight. Yumin mostly took the offensive, while Tae-jun was busy dodging. If he wanted to, Tae-jun, who was taller and bigger, could easily defeat Yumin, but he knew how to restrain himself. Of course, he didn’t seem to know how to restrain himself during sex with Yumin.

After rolling around in the snow for a long time, Yumin suddenly said, as if he had realized something.

“Wait a minute.”

“Why?”

Tae-jun, who was making a very small and soft snowball to be considerate of Yumin, turned his head to look at him. Yumin narrowed his eyes and asked Tae-jun accusingly,

“You’re going easy on me, aren’t you?”

“Haha, it must be your imagination.”

“Are you going to keep hurting a man’s pride?”

With Yumin pressing him like that, Tae-jun had nothing to say. Finally, he raised his hands and declared surrender.

“I’m not going easy on you. I’m really doing my best.”

“I don’t believe you.”

Tae-jun couldn’t help but laugh at Yumin’s sulky, cute expression. Annoyed by that again, Yumin tried to kick Tae-jun’s shin with his foot. Fortunately, Tae-jun, with his quick reflexes, noticed and quickly stepped back, so there was no bloodshed.

“Let’s fight properly! Come at me!”

“Alright, alright. But Yumin-ah, let’s do the snowball fight later. We have somewhere to go.”

“Where are we going?”

“It’s a place you’ll really like.”

“Really?”

“We’re going on a trip.”

“What!”

“Let’s go get your passport, right now.”

“Don’t tell me it’s an overseas trip?”

Yumin’s ears perked up at the sudden remark. He didn’t realize it yet, but his wildcat ears had perked up due to the excitement of the snowball fight. Tae-jun had already secretly taken a few photos. Tae-jun slowly opened his mouth, his gaze fixed on Yumin’s animal ears.

“You said you wanted to get into the Christmas spirit. Just trust me and follow me.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Yumin’s words could be understood in two ways. First, why didn’t he tell him the destination in advance? Second, why didn’t he say anything when his animal ears popped out? Surprised, Yumin put on the black hat he had in his pocket and glared at Tae-jun, but he just pretended not to know.

“Because you were cute.”

“Hmm.”

Still, Yumin was weak to Tae-jun’s compliments. Since there was no one else on the back mountain, there was no real problem with letting his ears show. Speechless, Yumin pressed Tae-jun again,

“Then this…”

“What?”

“When did you prepare this without me knowing?”

Tae-jun lightly kissed Yumin’s cheek and smiled. His eyes were full of boundless love and affection for Yumin. Still, Yumin felt he had to question him.

“I just looked into things on my own. It wasn’t difficult.”

“Still…”

“I wanted it to be a surprise gift. So don’t be angry, okay?”

Yumin’s heart softened slightly at Tae-jun’s rare display of affection, and he pretended to be displeased, hmph, turning his head away. Then Tae-jun gently put his arm around Yumin’s shoulder, making him look at him.

“It’s a long flight. We still have a long way to go, so get some sleep.”

“I’m too nervous to sleep.”

“You shouldn’t be tired. We have a lot to do when we get there, so let’s sleep a bit.”

Yumin turned and rested his head on Tae-jun’s shoulder. Leaning on his firm shoulder and feeling his warm body temperature, sleep miraculously came over him.

“Don’t leave me behind…”

Whatever his anxiety was, Yumin mumbled nonsensically. Tae-jun chuckled again, thinking it was probably sleep-talking, but finding him so endearing.

They were on a plane bound for New York. In three hours, they would arrive in New York. The plane, carrying them towards the dazzling night view filled with Christmas carols, flew leisurely.

“Wow…”

As he exited the airport, Yumin’s mouth fell open in amazement. Although less so than Seoul, the weather was still quite chilly. Tae-jun, following behind, wrapped a scarf around Yumin’s neck. Yumin was still busy admiring his surroundings.

“How is it?”

“I can’t believe it. It feels like a dream… I’m in New York for Christmas.”

Yumin’s eyes sparkled. Tae-jun tightened the scarf, put on his hat, and kissed Yumin’s forehead before letting him go.

“It’s not a dream.”

“It’s unbelievable.”

Just a short while ago, they were having a blast snowball fighting on the mountain behind their house. Now, they found themselves in the middle of New York. Yumin’s head was spinning from the developments he couldn’t keep up with.

For Yumin, who was on an impromptu trip for the first time, Tae-jun had made extensive preparations. Even as they drove to the hotel with Yumin staring blankly, Yumin kept exclaiming in admiration. Perhaps overwhelmed by the scenery, which was different from Seoul, even the way he pressed his face against the window to look outside seemed cute.

“Do you like it that much?”

“Yeah, I was really surprised when I first came up to Seoul, but this is no joke either.”

“Let’s come out often. And bring the kids when they grow up.”

“Okay!”

“Sigh, I can live now…”

The two of them were lying in the bathtub as if they had collapsed. No matter how exciting it was, fatigue was a separate matter. Exhausted from traveling, Yumin had collapsed onto the bed as soon as they entered the hotel. Tae-jun, coaxing Yumin, brought him to the bathtub and washed him with warm water. As the tension in his body eased, Yumin, feeling drowsy, leaned comfortably in Tae-jun’s arms.

“Do you like it?”

“Yeah, it’s warm.”

Tae-jun, who was hugging Yumin from behind and kissing his neck, asked. Yumin nodded honestly.

Before starting their trip in earnest, they agreed to take time to recharge. There was no rush anyway. Yumin’s parents would take good care of the children, and there was nothing to worry about.

“This is so nice. Thank you.”

“Wait a moment, I have something for you.”

“What is it?”

Yumin turned his head to look at Tae-jun. He smiled wordlessly and gently lifted Yumin’s wrist. Before Yumin could realize what was happening, a bracelet was placed on his wrist.

“This is…”

“A Christmas present.”

Not flashy, but simple and elegantly designed, the bracelet looked quite expensive even to Yumin, who knew nothing about jewelry. The craftsmanship was precise, and above all, its subtle luster caught the eye.

Cats like shiny things. They have a habit of tapping bracelets and necklaces with small bells or charms with their front paws. That’s true for any cat, and Yumin was no exception.

“When did you prepare something like this?”

Overwhelmed by Tae-jun’s successive surprise gifts, Yumin’s heart filled with emotion. As his voice trembled without him realizing it, Tae-jun hugged him from behind. The warmth emanating from their bare skin touching made Yumin’s heart even more tender.

“I wanted to do it all if we were going to do it. Do you like it?”

“Yes, I like it very much.”

Yumin turned his body slightly, wrapped his arms around Tae-jun’s neck, and they shared a long, deep kiss. Their lips were so sweet that they couldn’t stop kissing.

“Haa…”

“Yumin-ah.”

Tae-jun’s voice was low and husky. Yumin, anticipating what would happen next based on experience, stopped Tae-jun for a moment. While Yumin also wanted to make passionate love in the bathroom, there was something he had to do first.

“Just a moment.”

“Why?”

Tae-jun asked impatiently. Yumin found his anxious expression, so different from his usual calm and collected demeanor, endearing, and brought his lips to Tae-jun’s cheek. Tae-jun then hugged him tightly, as if not wanting to miss a single detail of Yumin. Leaning in Tae-jun’s embrace, Yumin whispered softly,

“I have something for you too, Tae-jun-ah.”

“What is it?”

It was unexpected for Tae-jun. He hadn’t sensed Yumin preparing a separate gift, and he was curious what he was going to give him.

“It’s a gift, well. Should I call it a gift? It’s a gift, right.”

“What on earth is it?”

“Shh, come closer to my ear.”

Yumin pulled Tae-jun closer and whispered in his ear.

“Name the third one.”

At first, Tae-jun couldn’t understand what he meant. After a moment, Tae-jun, who had interpreted the meaning a beat late,’s eyes widened. Tae-jun let out a thunderous cheer that echoed through the mountains like a tiger.

“The third one? Really?!”

“Would I lie?”

“No… I’m just so surprised. Really?”

“Yes, congratulations on becoming a father of three. Now you have three children.”

Yumin said with a smile. Although he pretended to be upset on the outside, he was also more delighted than anyone else about the conception of a new life. In fact, he had initially thought of wrapping the ultrasound photo as a Christmas gift.

However, he was unexpectedly dragged to New York, and ended up leaving the gift at home. He debated what to do, whether to tell him when they returned, but decided to give him the gift while spending a cozy Christmas far away.

Tae-jun was happier than expected. Seeing his reaction, Yumin’s heart was filled with happiness and affection.

“I’ll do even better.”

“Of course. You’re raising the third one too!”

“I mean it. Yumin-ah, I love you.”

“I love you too. So much.”

“I love you more.”

“No way? I was the one who made the first move!”

“You have to look at the present. My love is much bigger.”

Without waiting for the other, they found each other’s lips and kissed. Sweet carols seemed to ring in Yumin’s ears. The air was soft, and the body heat of the embracing lovers was warmer than anything in the world.

On the night Santa Claus gives gifts to good children, the two of them exchanged a gift they would never forget.

Side Story Wildcat 3.2. Memory Room

Tae-jun

Darling, leave work on time today. I’ll prepare dinner.

Okay. Sounds good.

Tae-jun

After dinner, you know?

We’re going to make a fourth? Haha.

Tae-jun

That’s right. Put the kids to bed early tonight.

Yumin chuckled as he looked at his phone’s message window. The messages from his cute and erotic husband felt especially lovely today.

“This is bad. I miss Tae-jun so much I can’t get any work done.”

Yumin rubbed his flushed cheeks and kissed his phone.

When he didn’t reply for a few minutes, another text arrived from Tae-jun.

Tae-jun

Honey. Are you busy?

I guess I’m bothering my darling again. But I love my darling so much.

I’ll gain strength thinking of you this afternoon too!

4 hours until quitting time. Ding ding~ Ba-bam.

“Ah, Tae-jun loves me so much.”

Yumin snickered. It was already their seventh year of marriage, and after twins, they had a third son. It felt like they met just the other day, but looking back, their history together was quite long.

The day he came up to the city to find a husband, he fell for Tae-jun at the freshman welcome party at first sight. Since then, their love had never cooled for a single moment.

To receive such passionate love, I am a happy wildcat.

Unconsciously, his wildcat ears perked up. A purring sound rumbled in his throat.

After graduating from college, Yumin joined a large corporation’s fashion division. He loved dressing up, so it was an industry he had consistently prepared for. He took many leaves of absence while raising three children. Still, thanks to Tae-jun and his parents’ help, he was able to manage his school life without parenting stress.

Tae-jun was hired as an executive at the massive construction company owned by the Beom family. Tae-jun, recognized for his abilities, was extremely busy, as was Yumin. The couple lived for the joy of meeting and dating after work. Although they couldn’t spend 24 hours together like they did in college, they could endure it by contacting each other frequently.

“Hoo… I miss you…”

Yumin murmured, fiddling with the family photo on his desk. The twin brothers, who looked like spirited children, and their third son, who had just turned one, filled the frame with the couple. Tae-jun’s profile, holding the children tightly but never taking his eyes off Yumin, was reassuring. A male who becomes a beast at night but is endlessly affectionate during the day. Yumin’s mate was perfect.

“…nim.”

“He’s so handsome. It’s driving me crazy.”

“Assistant Manager Go Yumin!”

A loud voice came from beside him. Startled, Yumin pulled his ears back and looked at the colleague next to him.

“Yes, Assistant Manager.”

“Assistant Manager. Your phone keeps ringing.”

“Huh?”

“It’s ringing right now. You should probably answer it.”

Lost in admiring the photo, he hadn’t even felt his phone vibrate. Yumin quickly picked up his phone.

The caller ID showed a completely unknown number, a landline from the Seoul area.

“Hello?”

Is this Mr. Go Yumin? This is the emergency room at Korea University Hospital.

“What?! A hospital…?”

Yes. We need you to come to the hospital right away.

“What, what happened?”

No one around Yumin was sick. He had never even been to Korea University Hospital.

Mr. Beom Tae-jun has been brought to our hospital. We contacted you as his spouse.

“What? Tae-jun… is hurt? Where? How did it happen?”

That… you’ll need to come here to hear the details. Please come quickly.

“Uh… where do I go? The emergency room?!”

What on earth was this? Yumin was dumbfounded. Was he seriously injured? Could it be life-threatening? As his thoughts tangled into a mess, the nurse on the other end of the line calmly said one thing.

It’s the Neuro-Neurosurgery Center.

“What?”

Please hurry.

The call ended. Yumin dropped his phone with a thud. The sound jolted him back to reality.

“Everyone, I’m so sorry, but I… I have to go. My husband is hurt, he’s hurt.”

“Assistant Manager, are you alright?”

“Assistant Manager Go, can you drive? Take a taxi.”

“Ah, right. Driving… I shouldn’t. I’m not in good condition right now… Thank you. I’ll take a taxi.”

Yumin quickly threw on his black jacket. Leaving his worried colleagues behind, he opened the office door and left.

It was drizzling outside. He didn’t have the presence of mind to grab an umbrella, so Yumin ran out to the street, getting soaked in the downpour. Perhaps because of the weather, taxis were hard to come by. No matter how much he waved, taxis with passengers simply drove past, splashing rainwater.

“Please, please.”

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Yumin finally managed to hail a taxi.

“Please take me to Korea University Hospital.”

“Yes.”

Yumin clasped his hands in the back seat and prayed. He was his one and only husband, his partner. Please, let him not be badly hurt. Please, let him come home without any incident.

“Haa… But she said Neuro-Neurosurgery Center…”

The nurse earlier had told him to come to the Neuro-Neurosurgery Center. Did he hit his head? It felt too ominous. Yumin nervously bit his nails, enduring what felt like an eternity of 20 minutes.

Finally arriving in front of the hospital, he practically flew out of the taxi.

It was a large general hospital, so finding his way was not easy. Frantically looking around, he searched for where the Neuro-Neurosurgery Center was. After several wrong turns, Yumin found the Neuro-Neurosurgery Center on the 4th floor of the hospital’s annex. He couldn’t wait for the elevator and ran up to the 4th floor. Finally, the center’s entrance came into view.

“Huff, huff. I’m Go Yumin, guardian of patient Beom Tae-jun.”

“You’ve arrived. We were waiting.”

The nurse at the desk stood up abruptly and greeted Yumin. She quickly made an internal call from the desk and, after a moment, said to Yumin.

“…Please follow me.”

The nurse guided Yumin down a path next to the desk. Hurrying after her, he saw a long corridor lined with hospital rooms. Yumin swallowed hard and continued to follow the nurse. Then, abruptly. The nurse stopped in front of a room.

“The professor is making rounds, so they will be with Mr. Beom Tae-jun in his room.”

“Ah, yes.”

The nurse opened the door. The room was a luxurious private room, but a curtain was drawn around the bed, so Tae-jun was not visible. Instead, he first met a doctor with a grim expression.

The doctor lowered his eyes as if troubled and stepped aside, saying.

“You must be Mr. Go Yumin. For now… please greet Mr. Beom Tae-jun.”

“Greet him?”

“Yes. Please greet him first.”

Yumin blinked, unable to understand what the doctor was saying. Then, at the doctor’s firm gesture, he took trembling steps towards the bed.

Swish- The curtain was pulled back. On the white bed lay Tae-jun, his head bandaged. His lips were slightly chapped, and there was a purplish bruise on his cheekbone.

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be in life-threatening condition. There was no oxygen mask or even the usual IV drip.

“He wasn’t badly hurt. That’s a relief.”

It was the moment Yumin was about to sigh in relief. He rushed forward to embrace Tae-jun, but Tae-jun scowled and overtly showed his displeasure.

“Tae-jun, what’s wrong? Are you in pain?”

Yumin asked cautiously. Tae-jun replied with a serious expression.

“Who are you?”

“…What?”

“I don’t believe we’ve met. Who are you, exactly?”

Yumin doubted his own ears. He wondered what Tae-jun was talking about.

“Tae-jun… It’s me, Yumin. Go Yumin.”

“You said earlier you had a husband, so that must be you.”

Tae-jun sighed as if he had a headache. Yumin’s heart sank. Tae-jun didn’t recognize Yumin. No matter how this had happened, in this moment, Tae-jun seemed like a stranger to Yumin.

Yumin stood frozen, like a lifeless statue. As he stood there bewildered, the doctor approached him.

“I will explain. Patient Beom Tae-jun is showing symptoms of amnesia.”

“W-what? Amnesia?”

The doctor nodded with a grave expression. Yumin’s eyes widened to their limit. It was a shock as if someone had hit him on the head with a hammer.

“The patient was brought in two hours ago due to a multi-car pile-up. The injuries are not severe, but as you can see, he seems to have hit his head hard. We’ve questioned him several times, and he’s diagnosed with memory loss for a certain period before the accident.”

“A certain period? What did he forget?”

“There are no issues with his intelligence or knowledge. However…”

The doctor hesitated for a moment before answering.

“He seems to remember only up to his university entrance, around the time he turned twenty, and all memories after that have evaporated.”

“What? Evaporated?!”

Yumin’s legs wobbled. They had met as fresh twenty-year-olds, married, and had three adorable sons. They had shared life for seven years, and he had forgotten it all. It was unbelievable.

“Is… is it true? Tae-jun. You don’t know me? We were in the same department. We went to university together!”

“Then are you also in Korea University’s Business Administration department?”

“Of course. We met at university. Do you really not remember?”

“Hmm…”

“You said your memory goes back to when you were twenty. That’s around the time you entered university. Yet you don’t know me?”

Tae-jun couldn’t answer immediately. Instead, he roughly ran his hand over his face with his injured hand. He seemed to be thinking deeply. He then shook his head left and right and said in a cold voice.

“I’ve never seen you before.”

“…”

“The last thing I remember is… yesterday was the entrance ceremony.”

“…If yesterday was the entrance ceremony…”

“Today… there’s a freshman welcome party later. I was getting ready to go out. That’s all I remember, and nothing else.”

Tae-jun’s words made Yumin’s breath catch. The first time they met was at the freshman welcome party. Therefore, it was natural that Yumin wasn’t in Tae-jun’s memory.

“Ah… Wh-what do I do.”

Yumin sank to his knees on the floor. His head spun. He collapsed onto the floor. He could hear the doctor and nurse calling out to him to snap out of it from afar, but he was too stunned to maintain his composure.

After the commotion subsided, Yumin completed Tae-jun’s admission procedures. The doctor had advised him to stay at the hospital for at least one day to monitor his condition.

After completing the paperwork, Yumin contacted his company to explain the situation. The staff were surprised to hear that his husband was being hospitalized, even though the injury wasn’t severe. Since it had come to this, they pushed him to take a few days off to properly care for him, and Yumin was granted a short leave.

He was relieved not to have to go to work. However, taking care of the children was a problem. Fortunately, the twins were visiting Yumin’s Noona for a while as it was their vacation. Perhaps because they would be entering elementary school next year, they had become mature enough to stay at a relative’s house on their own.

The third child was only 18 months old and attended daycare. Yumin had been working short hours, dropping off and picking up the child during his commute. However, he wouldn’t be able to send the child to daycare for the time being as he needed to focus on caring for his husband.

He had no choice but to carry the infant and tend to his husband. Yumin felt pathetic about his situation, but he gritted his teeth, knowing he was the only one who could protect his beloved partner.

Yumin went home to pack his things. He explained the situation to the daycare and picked up the child. It was a difficult journey back to the hospital, carrying the baby in a carrier and holding bags in both hands.

When he returned to the room, Tae-jun was still acting distant. Yumin patiently spoke as kindly as possible.

“Tae-jun, I brought some clothes and underwear for you to change into.”

“…My clothes?”

“Yes. I brought them from home.”

“Why would someone else touch my things… I’m not the type to let others carelessly handle my clothes.”

“Carelessly? We’re married, what’s careless about it?”

“Hmm, it still feels strange.”

Tae-jun folded his arms without touching the bag of clothes. Yumin, feeling offended again, asked defensively.

“What’s strange?”

“That you and I are married. Is it perhaps a lie?”

“Hah, that’s a ridiculous question. Why do you think so?”

“Because I wouldn’t have married someone of your type.”

Tae-jun looked Yumin up and down and then threw the words out. Yumin’s face turned red with anger.

“Wh-what do you mean…”

“Judging by your face and your body, you’re not the type I’d find attractive at all. The fact that we’re married, honestly, I can’t believe it.”

“…Beom Tae-jun!”

“What was my future self thinking, making such a choice? Haa, I don’t understand.”

Yumin’s blood ran cold. In terms of their past relationship, Yumin was the one who had been captivated by Tae-jun first and pursued him. Later, Tae-jun had also fallen for Yumin, albeit belatedly.

Because he remembered that fact clearly, Yumin couldn’t find a retort. Based on first impressions alone, it would be difficult for Tae-jun to fall for him. Tae-jun, who had lost his memory and returned to being twenty, was the same.

“Sob…”

Yumin lowered his head. Tears welled up in his tightly closed eyes. He couldn’t bear the sorrow. The child sleeping peacefully in the baby carrier woke up and started crying.

“Waaah!”

“Sob… sob, do you really not know me? How could this happen!”

“Waaah, waaaah!”

The third child was usually good-natured, but at that moment, he cried at the top of his lungs. Perhaps he sensed Yumin’s anxious state.

“Oh, sob, don’t cry. Baby, stop crying, okay?”

Yumin hugged the child and comforted him. As he patted the child’s back and sobbed, Tae-jun, unable to stand it any longer, opened his mouth as if to ask.

“I’ve been wondering since earlier, who is that child?”

He looked very suspicious. There was no affectionate gaze as he usually looked at children.

“Don’t tell me it’s my child?”

Yumin’s heart shattered at the sharp tone. The third child, like the first, was a Tiger Beastman who strongly resembled Tae-jun. He still vividly remembered how happy Tae-jun was when their third child was born. Tae-jun had even personally chosen the name Tae-ho.

“Ah… Right. He wouldn’t remember the kids either.”

Yumin muttered dejectedly. Tae-jun’s expression grew more serious, and he asked again.

“Is… is he my child?”

“Yes! He’s your child. Just look at him.”

Yumin turned the child around so his face was visible. His thick eyebrows and upturned eyes bore an uncanny resemblance to Tae-jun. Tae-jun, perhaps acknowledging the resemblance, fell silent.

“It’s not just him. We have three.”

Tae-jun gasped and his eyes widened.

“You have three children? You and I had three children… That’s impossible. I’m only twenty! I’m too young to be a married man!”

Tae-jun became agitated, as if he couldn’t handle it. Yumin felt a surge of anger at his denial of the children’s existence. How could he deny them after having three? Even if his mental age had regressed, Tae-jun was too hateful.

“Be quiet!”

Yumin roared with an incredibly loud voice. Tae-jun flinched in surprise and took a step back.

“You were the one who pushed for marriage! And you got me pregnant without me knowing!!”

“Really?”

“Of course, really. Do you think I’d make something like that up?”

Yumin yelled back fiercely, glaring at Tae-jun. His sadness had turned into anger. He wanted to teach Tae-jun a lesson for constantly ignoring him. Tae-jun had to quickly return to being 27 and become Yumin and the children’s devoted partner again.

“Beom Tae-jun, let’s have a match.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll get your memory back. I’ll make you love me again!”

Yumin’s eyes blazed. Just like that night during the freshman welcome party, the moment he first spotted Tae-jun.

The Go clan’s wildcat family was famous for their stubbornness. Yumin, inheriting the blood of his lineage, was born with the persistent nature of a hunter. He was the type to cling even more fiercely when his prey tried to escape, snatching them by the scruff of their neck.

First, he would do his best to help Tae-jun regain his memories. He would stimulate his brain by any means necessary. That was Yumin’s Operation Phase 1.

“The doctor said earlier that to bring back memories, it’s good to create similar situations to the past and stimulate the brain. From now on, just do as I say. I’ll create the same situation as usual, so try to remember as much as you can.”

Tae-jun was reluctant, but he couldn’t live his life without his memories. He nodded his head grudgingly.

“What should I do first?”

“We’re going to share a meal.”

“This is patient food.”

Tae-jun said, pointing to the patient’s meal tray he had received earlier, but Yumin cut him off with a stern expression.

“You always shared your food with me whenever you got something to eat. Here, feed me.”

“What? Are you crazy?”

“Don’t argue. Give me a spoonful of rice and some braised beef right now!”

Yumin made himself comfortable on the patient’s bed. Tae-jun, pushed aside, pulled over the visitor’s table and chair and sat down uncomfortably. Yumin had been so insistent that he grudgingly participated in the memory-recovery project, but honestly, he still felt uneasy.

A man he had never seen before appeared, claiming he was his mate and that they had a child. It didn’t resonate. When he tried to recall if he was truly a married 27-year-old man, his injured head throbbed unbearably.

On top of the already confusing situation, Yumin’s nagging for food made Tae-jun feel acutely tired. Reluctantly, Tae-jun scooped a spoonful of rice and offered it to Yumin. It felt incredibly awkward to feed someone else, especially a stranger.

Yumin opened his mouth, not particularly large, and stuffed it full of rice until his cheeks bulged. Yumin’s eyes were red from crying earlier.

‘He seems very wronged. Well, if he claims we were married, it’s understandable he’d be upset. But… I can’t imagine myself being intimate with this Beastman.’

Tae-jun had never felt intense love for anyone. But one thing was certain: he liked mature and adult-like styles. He detested clingy, emotionally unstable types like Yumin, who couldn’t control their feelings.

It was the same with appearance. Like most Tiger Beastmen, Tae-jun found large builds and intense features attractive. In contrast, this Beastman, a head shorter than him, had chubby cheeks and looked young. No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t match his ideal type.

“Darling, I’m thirsty.”

“Huh?”

“I want you to give me water.”

Yumin demanded confidently. After drinking the water, he pestered Tae-jun again to wipe his mouth. Tae-jun became increasingly bewildered. Such a spoiled Beastman couldn’t possibly be his mate.

“Excuse me, Mr. Go Yumin. I’m not your nanny, isn’t this too much?”

“Too much? We said we were always like this.”

“Haa… that’s your perspective, but I’m seeing you for the first time today!”

“Didn’t you say you liked how I was high-maintenance?”

“…Did I say that?”

“Yes. You never let me do chores, always taking care of everything yourself. You spoiled me, so who are you blaming?”

Yumin retorted clearly, leaving Tae-jun speechless. In the meantime, the baby lying in the bed woke up and started crying.

“Waaaaah!”

As if telling them to stop their marital spat, the baby cried sharply. Tae-jun, without thinking, approached the child.

“Shh…! Don’t cry.”

“Hooaaahhh!”

“Ah… what do I do. Don’t cry. Okay?”

Tae-jun hesitated, unable to touch the baby. Then, the baby suddenly grabbed one of Tae-jun’s fingers.

“Pa!”

“…Huh?”

“Ah, Pa!”

Tae-ho stopped crying and made eye contact with Tae-jun. He had recognized his father. It was natural from the baby’s perspective, but it was a shock to Tae-jun.

“…Did you just say ‘Dad’?”

“Dad! Dad!!”

Tae-ho giggled and reached out to Tae-jun. Though his tiny hands couldn’t pull Tae-jun, he kept wriggling. Tae-jun was momentarily lost in the innocent movement.

“Ah… I’m Dad…. Right. That makes sense.”

As if sensing Tae-jun’s confusion, Yumin gently came over and picked up the baby. Then, he thrust the child into Tae-jun’s arms.

“That’s right. You are this child’s father. Beom Tae-jun, father of Beom Tae-ho, understand?”

“Haa….”

“Hurry and comfort him. He wants to be held by you.”

As Yumin instructed, Tae-jun soothed the baby, and Tae-ho smiled brightly and kissed Tae-jun’s cheek. It felt incredibly strange.

“It feels good, right?”

“…Well, it’s a bit strange.”

“But you like it.”

“……”

Watching Tae-jun’s dazed eyes, Yumin prayed inwardly.

He wished this man’s memories would return quickly.

However, happiness is not achieved by prayer alone. It requires bone-grinding effort and adept handling of any situation. The road ahead was still long.

Late that evening, Tae-jun’s stubbornness led to his discharge being decided. The doctor recommended rest at the hospital, but Tae-jun flatly refused. Staying at the hospital wouldn’t bring back his memories, and more importantly, he was concerned about Tae-ho. If Yumin insisted on staying cooped up in the hospital with him, forcing even a newborn to endure hospital life felt wrong.

When he held Tae-ho’s hand earlier, he felt a warmth deep in his chest. He also had a strong intuition that Tae-ho was his blood. While he was pessimistic about the still-active wildcat, he didn’t want to make the child suffer.

After completing the discharge procedures and paying the bill, they emerged from the hospital’s main entrance to find a secretary waiting with a car.

“Are you feeling alright, Vice President?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

The secretary, who looked considerably older than him, kept bowing, making Tae-jun feel awkward inwardly. He still had the mindset of a 20-year-old college freshman and was not used to having a secretary.

“Secretary Kim. This little one is having a hard time. We should leave quickly.”

“Understood. Then I’ll drive–”

“No. I can drive. Secretary Kim, you can go home now.”

Yumin decided to take the driver’s seat. Tae-jun opened the rear door and got in with the baby.

“Darling, what are you doing? You should come next to me.”

“I’ll sit here.”

“No way. You’re not sitting in the passenger seat? That’s never happened in our history!”

Yumin shouted loudly, acting erratically. Tae-jun, unable to bear it, moved to the front seat with the baby. Tae-ho, leaning comfortably on his father’s lap, slept soundly.

As Yumin said, it seemed they had ridden in the front seats together like this many times. A small family photo was stuck on the dashboard, showing Yumin and himself hugging three baby Beastmen. The family looked very affectionate, and he himself looked particularly happy.

Himself, grinning widely with a spouse and a bunch of offspring. It was a completely unfamiliar sight.

The car drove smoothly on the weekday road. It took only 30 minutes from Gangnam to Samcheong-dong.

“We’re here, Darling.”

Tae-jun opened the unfamiliar gate and carefully entered the garden. The detached house was neat and antique, and the meticulously trimmed garden trees suited his taste. He felt certain he had arranged the interior himself.

Up to that point, it was fine. But the moment he opened the front door and stepped inside, Tae-jun’s eyes nearly popped out.

“Wh-what is this.”

Inside the living room, which boasted a simple interior, a frame measuring over two meters wide and tall hung on one wall. The enormous frame contained a full-body shot of Yumin, clearly a wedding snap. He looked very charming, sitting on the floor with his bare feet exposed, smiling coyly at the camera.

“What. Is the picture too big?”

“It’s big, and there are too many pictures!”

Tae-jun found Yumin’s framed pictures everywhere. There was one on the kitchen table, another behind the TV. It looked like a photo exhibition dedicated to Yumin.

“You said you wanted to put them up, Darling?”

“Really?”

“Of course. If you don’t believe me, you can go up to the second floor!”

Tae-jun went up to the second floor. There were several rooms, including rooms that seemed to be for children. All the rooms were plastered with Yumin’s photos. In the master bedroom, there was even a life-sized standee of Yumin. Cardboard boxes, scratching posts, and large, shiny metal nets – the kind wildcats liked… The luxurious toys clearly showed this was a wildcat’s utopia.

The last door he opened was the bedroom. A large wedding photo hung by the bed. It showed Yumin striking a pose in a black tuxedo, and himself beside him, grinning from ear to ear. Anyone could see the expression of a man in love.

“It seems to be real… But I don’t remember. Not at all.”

Tae-jun felt equally frustrated. The fatigue accumulated over several days hit him all at once. In the unfamiliar house, Tae-jun washed up and changed into clothes that were presumably his. Even the bedding felt strange, but wanting to escape the confusion, he forced himself to lie down.

He closed his eyes, thinking skeptically if anything would come back to him after sleeping.

Several hours passed, and it was past midnight. Tae-jun, who had been sleeping deeply, woke up to a heavy sensation. He felt an unusual feeling. His chest down to his sternum felt so heavy he struggled to breathe. As he tried to move whatever was pressing down on his chest, Tae-jun flinched.

Yumin was lying face down on his chest, burying his face. His hands were placed precisely on either side of Tae-jun’s chest, clenching tightly and kneading.

“What the!”

“Darling. You’re awake?”

“No, why all of a sudden…!”

“I thought about it, and I realized I needed to help you remember through touch.”

“What?”

“We used to do this kneading every single day. If we do it like this, you’ll remember.”

Kneading is a common behavior seen in kittens nursing from their mother, and it’s also used as an expression of affection. Tae-jun knew this well, but Yumin’s movements were so intimate and ticklish that he was flustered.

Yumin had been waiting for this moment since earlier. He couldn’t do it at the hospital, so he was glad they were home.

“Ah, even so, touching someone else’s chest…!”

“We’re not strangers. How can we be strangers? Stay still.”

Yumin’s fingers were pretty and slender for a man, but his grip was strong. His kneading, gathering Tae-jun’s chest, was elastic and gradually aroused Tae-jun. If he allowed Yumin to continue touching his chest, he felt he might get an erection.

Yumin slid his hand under Tae-jun’s t-shirt. He pushed the shirt aside as if undressing him, then placed his soft palm on his bare chest. The removal of the fabric brought a more direct stimulation. Tae-jun fumbled with the rapid progression of events.

“Stop it!”

“This sensation, does it not come back to you? Don’t you remember doing this with me every day?”

Yumin straddled Tae-jun’s legs and shouted in an excited tone. He slowly moved his hips back and forth, deliberately rubbing the protruding part.

Tae-jun felt breathless. In crude terms, he was horny as hell. He couldn’t resist the persistent rubbing of his penis against the soft yet elastic flesh.

“Ugh.”

A suppressed groan escaped Tae-jun’s lips, and Yumin’s eyes sparkled. He increased the pressure, rubbing against Tae-jun’s lower body, and shed his own upper garment. As his pale body was revealed, Tae-jun’s pupils dilated. Though he hadn’t touched him, his nipples were hard, and his body was flushed pink in places. It was a sight he was instinctively drawn to.

“Haa… Come here, Tae-jun.”

Drawn by the sticky whisper, Tae-jun was helplessly pulled in. He followed Yumin’s instructions, stroking his delicate body and flicking his nipples. Yumin reacted sensitively to every touch of Tae-jun’s hand, closing his eyes tightly and tilting his head back. Tae-jun persistently worked his hands, not wanting to miss that expression.

Before long, Tae-jun was actively touching Yumin. He even thrust his hips roughly. His penis was hard and seemed ready to invade Yumin’s lower half.

Yumin shrewdly examined Tae-jun’s crotch. It was sufficiently erect, and he felt it was time to free it from his constricting pants. He lowered his head and pulled down the waistband of the pants, and his penis popped out. The smooth, glistening glans looked appetizing.

Lick.* Yumin extended his tongue and licked the shaft.

“Hk!”

Tae-jun flinched and grabbed Yumin’s head with both hands. Yumin ignored his resistance. Instead, he greedily swallowed the thick glans, opening his throat. He moved his head back and forth, narrowing his mouth. Tae-jun soon let out a beastly sound and grabbed Yumin by the hair.

“Ugh, ugh…!”

Tae-jun’s penis entered and exited Yumin’s mouth. Lost in the slippery sensation, all reason had long since flown away. Only the instinct to pound wildly dominated Tae-jun.

As if reading his mind, Yumin tightened his lips even more. He forced his way into the narrow space between his lips, the tip of his penis touching the roof of his mouth. Intense pleasure surged through him. For a moment, a sharp thought flashed through his mind.

‘This feeling… it’s not the first time.’

The sensation, like electricity flowing through his entire body, was incredibly stimulating and, at the same time, familiar. He was sure he had rubbed his penis against a bumpy palate like this before. When could that have been? The memory almost surfaced, then scattered again.

He felt like he had missed the evidence right before his eyes. Tae-jun tried to immerse himself deeper in the sensation, but it was futile. He was on the verge of getting annoyed by the frustration.

Tae-jun withdrew his penis from Yumin’s mouth. As Yumin, taken aback by the sudden movement, was surprised, Tae-jun climbed on top of him. The position reversed in an instant.

“Tae-jun… Do you remember anything?”

Yumin looked up, meeting Tae-jun’s gaze. His eyes glistened with lust. It was the look Tae-jun had seen almost every day and grown accustomed to.

“Haa… I think I might remember something, or maybe not.”

Tae-jun looked confused. But it seemed this method was working. He had just heard the man who had treated him coldly earlier say he might remember something. If so, the only answer was to push forward more aggressively.

“Then do more.”

“More?”

“Touch here.”

Yumin grabbed his own buttocks and spread them apart. His clean perineum and pink flesh were revealed. Tae-jun stared blankly at it for a moment before bringing his hand to it. He was amazed by how much softer it was than he had imagined.

“Mmm, like that. Ugh… a little harder.”

Yumin’s constitution had changed after childbirth. His rear had become more sensitive, becoming aroused by mere touch. He could even get an erection just by touching his anus. It was the same now. Yumin was helplessly at the mercy of Tae-jun’s unthinking movements.

Mentally, it was Tae-jun’s first time having sex, so he was rough and wild. He couldn’t make Yumin wait as usual, nor did he have any control over the pace. That, paradoxically, excited Yumin even more.

Tae-jun’s calloused hand gripped Yumin’s semi-erect penis. It fit snugly in Tae-jun’s hand due to its relatively small size. As he squeezed and moved it forcefully, Yumin let out a moan.

“Agh!”

Tae-jun stared intently at Yumin’s face, writhing in pleasure.

“Ahng, ahng!”

Veins bulged on his delicate neck, and tears welled up in his coy eyes. He looked fragile, like prey caught in a trap. It made his mouth water. Swallowing hard, Tae-jun spread Yumin’s legs wide apart.

Side Story Wildcat 5

Yumin’s tightly closed hole twitched minutely. To Tae-jun, that movement looked like a brazen temptation. As if begging him to dig in and ravage it, the living, moving hole made him unable to hold back any longer.

Tae-jun buried his head without warning. Startled, Yumin arched his back, but Tae-jun’s grip was so strong he easily subdued him. The tip of his tongue poked the center of the hole. Yumin let out a choked cry, his thighs trembling.

Having no intention of holding back, Tae-jun ignored Yumin’s struggles and pushed his tongue as far as he desired. After a few licks, the hole loosened wetly. Tae-jun thrust his tongue into the hole without hesitation, pulling Yumin’s body towards him.

“Ah, aah!”

Soon, a trickle of semen seeped from the tip of Yumin’s pink cock. It was thick and sticky, like condensed milk. Tae-jun gathered it and smeared it messily on Yumin’s rear. Yumin was still reeling from the aftershocks of his climax, unable to regain his senses.

After spreading the semen between the delicate folds, he pushed his finger through the inner wall. An immense pressure writhed as if it would sever Tae-jun’s knuckles. Moans, indistinguishable between pain and pleasure, burst from Yumin.

“Haang! Ha… Eung!”

Tae-jun moved his hand instinctively. He pushed his finger deeper, as far as he could reach, and quickly flicked his wrist. Each time he scraped the inner walls, Yumin let out a cat-like hiss. Even that seemed like a kitten’s playful resistance to Tae-jun.

“Tae-jun… I can’t stand it. Now, hng! I can’t stand it.”

Yumin wrapped his legs around Tae-jun’s waist as he spoke. His face was a mixture of impatience and desperation.

“Put it in, quickly…”

“Where?”

“You know.”

“I don’t think I do. It’s my first time.”

“Please, don’t do that, just fuck me quickly…”

“It’s my first time having sex, so I don’t know. You’ll have to show me where to put it.”

Yumin was burning with impatience. He couldn’t cool his heat unless he was penetrated immediately.

Yumin supported his knees with his hands, exposing his hole fully. Thanks to the earlier loosening, the hole was still quivering, not quite closed.

“Here, right here… Fuck me, Tae-jun. Aah!”

Thump, Tae-jun’s angry cock plunged into the hole. The hole stretched to its maximum to swallow the glans all at once. Yumin gasped, unable to breathe properly. Tae-jun’s thrusting was rough, like a beast experiencing its first time.

He pulled back, then thrust forward sharply. He went deep as if making a path for his cock, then withdrew haphazardly. He relentlessly ground against the spot Yumin found most sensitive. Even though it was quite deep, Tae-jun’s beastly member moved in and out with ease.

Thump, thump. The sounds grew louder. The cock’s movement, digging in as if to crush his insides, quickened. A great pleasure, starting from Yumin’s lower abdomen, surged like a wave, reaching his chest. He let out sharp, high-pitched cries without realizing it.

“Aang! Aaang!”

Since it wasn’t their usual, familiar sex, Yumin felt as if he were making love with a stranger. The foreplay was different, and the focus solely on penetration without kissing was completely unlike Tae-jun’s usual behavior.

Yet, the taste of the cock thrusting into him, painfully so, was undeniably Tae-jun’s. When the thick, long shaft, like a club, struck his insides, Yumin felt a thrill beyond mere physical pleasure.

My male, my Tae-jun is inside me.

Thinking that, his arousal reached its peak. Yumin lost his reason. Pop, wildcat ears sprang from his head. Tae-jun bit them as if they were delicious prey.

“Ang!”

As Tae-jun gnawed on Yumin’s animal ears, pleasure spread through Yumin’s entire body. The ears, which Beastmen rarely revealed, were extremely sensitive erogenous zones.

“Aang, haang! Tae-jun, I love it so much!”

Yumin was practically sobbing. While his ears were being sucked thoroughly, a pop sound was followed by the appearance of a tail. The black tail, clinging close to his rear, swayed gently. Tae-jun didn’t miss that either and gripped it tightly. As it was also an erogenous zone, Yumin came once more while his tail was being caressed.

“Ha… I want to devour you.”

Tae-jun murmured lowly, burying his nose in Yumin’s nape. Yumin’s heart felt like it would burst.

It was what Tae-jun always told him almost every night when he held Yumin. “I want to eat you. I want to bite your nape and see your blood. I want to eat your flesh and blood, what should I do?”

Did Tae-jun’s instincts trigger the memory? Yumin looked at Tae-jun earnestly, wanting to hear those words again.

“Tae-jun…”

“It’s strange. You make me strange.”

Tae-jun felt frustrated. While having sex with Yumin, he had encountered familiar sensations many times. Despite it being his first time having sex with an unfamiliar Beastman, he was drawn to him like a magnet and kept wanting to explore his body.

This body is mine.

He knew it without needing to be told. The cherry-colored nipples, the narrow hole, all existed for him.

If he held this body a little longer, he felt his memories would return. Tae-jun embraced Yumin, pressing his body against him. The whimpering moans heated his ears.

Tae-jun’s pupils turned vertical. The tiger’s soul awakened, dominating Tae-jun’s reason. His primal instincts as a beast took over. Tae-jun ravaged Yumin’s legs indiscriminately and roughly. He thrust forward, rushing towards climax.

It was then. For a moment, a memory flashed through Tae-jun’s mind. The day he had entered his Heat Cycle. He had covered Yumin, who was hiding his identity, and ejaculated inside him. Praying that he would conceive a child that resembled him.

Yumin was his mate, the only one who could carry his child. Tae-jun craved only Yumin in this world.

All his memories returned vividly. His dazed mind cleared, and he saw Yumin again. Not a stranger Beastman, but the Yumin he loved.

“Hup.”

Simultaneously, the moment of climax arrived. Tae-jun held Yumin tightly, ejaculating. The volume was so great it filled the inner walls and flowed out. Yumin’s labored gasps could be heard. Tae-jun brought his lips to Yumin’s ear.

“Yumin, I remember everything now.”

“…Huh?”

“I remembered it all just now.”

“Really?”

“How could I ever forget you?”

“Tae-jun…!”

Tears welled up in Yumin’s eyes. He was so moved that Tae-jun finally remembered him, his voice choked. Tae-jun’s eyes also reddened. Without a word, they kissed. The kiss with Tae-jun, who had returned, was sweet.

“I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry.”

“Huuung… You’re so cruel. Pretending not to know me! Saying I wasn’t your type!”

After regaining his memories, Tae-jun quickly recovered and returned to his daily life. However, for over a week, Yumin berated him. Any slight displeasure would bring up the topic of amnesia, and he heard complaints of being hurt.

“You had lost your memory then.”

“Even if you lost your memory! You should have loved me! Shouldn’t you have fallen for me the moment you saw me?”

“I was wrong. I should have fallen for you the moment I saw you. My eyes were blind.”

“Wash your eyes with saltwater. Right now!”

“Yes, I understand.”

Tae-jun lived submissively, ready to do anything Yumin commanded. He had always taken care of the household chores, but he did them even more diligently, mindful of Yumin’s moods. Especially if Yumin requested food, he would make it or go out to get it even in the middle of the night.

“Darling, Tae-jun. I want steak.”

“So suddenly, in the middle of the night?”

“It’s only 2 AM. I want it rare, grilled, and dipped in balsamic sauce.”

“Hmm, then I’ll set the table.”

“Yes! Hurry and make it.”

Tae-jun took out all the fresh ingredients from the refrigerator, prepared them, and cooked the meat. He tried to move as quietly as possible so as not to wake the children, but it was difficult to cook quickly. After setting a lavish table, he woke Yumin, who had fallen asleep on the living room sofa.

“Sit down quickly, Yumin.”

“Wow! It looks delicious. I didn’t expect such a fancy spread.”

Yumin smiled, his nose wrinkling, as he looked at the steak on the table. The bread, imported fruits, and fresh yogurt also looked delicious.

“Thank you. I’ll eat well.”

“Yes. Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

Tae-jun pulled out a chair for Yumin. After confirming Yumin was seated, he sat opposite him.

“Try the steak first.”

“Yes.”

The moment Yumin cut a large piece of meat and lifted it with his fork.

“Ugh…!”

He suddenly clutched his head and groaned. Tae-jun jumped up from his seat.

“What’s wrong, Yumin? Are you in pain?”

“Suddenly… it feels like needles are stabbing my head, ugh!”

“Let’s go to the hospital.”

“No, it’s probably just a brief headache.”

Yumin wiped the sweat from his brow and ran his hand through his hair. Although the person himself tried to brush it off, Tae-jun couldn’t relax. He worried if something was wrong with his health.

In fact, Tae-jun had been noticing changes in Yumin lately. He often complained of headaches, and more importantly, he ate too much. He said he was just making Tae-jun cook as punishment for his amnesia, but even so, his meal portions had nearly doubled.

After devouring a large steak, he ate several kilograms of various fruits and enjoyed bread. When asked why he ate bread so much, when he didn’t particularly like it before, Yumin simply replied that he was craving carbohydrates.

Could it be… a problem with his brain?

If there was an anomaly in the nerves controlling appetite, these symptoms would make sense. It was the worst-case scenario, but not entirely impossible.

“Ah, my head hurts again. Maybe it’ll get better if I eat fruit.”

Yumin rubbed his temples, looking exhausted. Endless pieces of fruit went into his mouth. Tae-jun’s face grew increasingly stiff.

Should I talk to Yumin directly? No, what’s the point when he doesn’t take it seriously himself. He’s the type to brush off concerns about his health.

Yumin was known to be in excellent health. Despite his small stature, he had great stamina and a fast recovery rate. If he touched that pride, Tae-jun would just seem overly anxious.

However, the situation worsened day by day. Yumin’s appetite continued to increase, and his complaints of headaches never ceased. Then, finally, something happened.

One morning, Tae-jun woke up early and went to the kitchen, only to find Yumin collapsed. Yumin was lying face down with the refrigerator door open. It seemed he had been rummaging for food, as fruits, bread, and refrigerated items were scattered on the floor.

Seeing Yumin buried in a pile of food, Tae-jun initially thought he had died from the impact of the fallen items.

“Yumin!”

Shouting at the top of his lungs, Tae-jun scooped Yumin up and rushed to the hospital. As he handed Yumin over to the emergency room, he wept inwardly.

I should have forced him to go to the hospital. Why did I let it get this far?

Was this the result of always doting on Yumin? He supported everything Yumin wanted to do and got him whatever he wanted to eat, even at dawn. He never imagined it would harm Yumin’s health. Tae-jun beat his head against the waiting room wall, sobbing in anguish.

“It’s all my fault… Idiot, such an idiot!”

The saddest part was that it hadn’t been long since he lost and then regained his memory. Until recently, he had completely forgotten Yumin and said harsh words.

“I don’t know any wildcats like you.”

He had stabbed Yumin’s heart with such nonsense. If it weren’t for Yumin’s active efforts, he might never have regained his memory. Yumin’s love, which held onto such a pathetic husband, was tear-jerking.

I wanted to do better now, please don’t leave me on your own. Yumin!

Negative thoughts filled his mind. He was suffocated by the fear of living without Yumin, of him leaving him forever.

“Hup… Yumin, Go Yumin… Don’t go.”

Just then, a doctor rushed out and asked for Yumin’s guardian.

“Is the guardian of Go Yumin here?”

“It’s me! I’m here.”

“You’re here. What is your relationship with Go Yumin?”

“Husband… I am.”

At that, the doctor adjusted his glasses, showing surprise. Tae-jun’s heart lurched.

“W-what is it, Doctor? Is it serious?”

“Uh… Yes. It is serious.”

“Yumin!”

Tae-jun grabbed the doctor’s gown and fell to his knees. The doctor staggered along.

“Please calm down, guardian.”

“Do I look like I can calm down? You’re saying Yumin is going to die!”

“What? I never said he was going to die.”

“Then what?”

“Go Yumin has indigestion.”

“…What?”

Tae-jun sat on the floor, staring blankly at the doctor. Considering Yumin’s recent behavior, indigestion was understandable. But could he really faint from simple overeating? He was puzzled. The doctor immediately cleared up Tae-jun’s confusion.

“It’s common to feel bloated in early pregnancy. So, people naturally eat less or are picky about food. However, Go Yumin, unusually, experienced ‘eating cravings’ from the very early stages. He couldn’t stop craving food, so he repeatedly overate beyond his digestive capacity. It’s inevitable that something would happen to a pregnant body.”

The doctor’s words sank in slowly. The symptoms Yumin had been showing were related to morning sickness, and he had collapsed from eating too much.

In other words, Yumin was pregnant.

“Yumin!”

Tae-jun cried out Yumin’s name again, weeping. To others, he might have looked like an enraged tiger, but to Tae-jun, it was a cry filled with apology and affection.

After confirming the fourth pregnancy, Yumin took a leave of absence. Tae-jun also applied for parental leave and stayed home to care for the children and Yumin. Although the fainting spell ended up being a mere incident, Tae-jun was afraid of missing even a single moment of Yumin’s every move. Tae-jun massaged Yumin’s hands and feet all day and fed him healthy meals.

“Are you having a hard time?”

“Yes. Phew, it’s not my first pregnancy, but it’s so hard.”

“I wish I could do it for you.”

“Just with words? Why don’t you go out and buy some strawberries then.”

“Yumin wants strawberries?”

“Yes. Get me some really sweet and fresh ones.”

Tae-jun was in a difficult position. Where could he get fresh strawberries in mid-September? There wouldn’t be any seasonal strawberries at department stores or agricultural markets.

He was about to subtly suggest eating other fruits when he met Yumin’s moist eyes.

“Strawberries… Strawberries sound delicious. I want strawberries.”

Looking up at Tae-jun with his dark eyes and blinking, Tae-jun’s heart sank. This was trouble. When Yumin acted cute like this, it meant he was determined to achieve his goal. It also meant he would hold a grudge if his wish wasn’t granted.

This is serious. I have to get them no matter what.

Tae-jun immediately rushed out.

As expected, there were no fresh strawberries at wholesale or retail stores. He even checked dessert shops, but the strawberries topping the cakes were not fresh. The strawberries Yumin dreamed of were surely plump, shiny, and incredibly sweet. Frustrated, Tae-jun found the contact information for Secretary Kim, who managed household affairs.

“Secretary Kim, could you please find out where I can get strawberries?”

-Strawberries?

“Anywhere with a short flight time is fine. Find a country where strawberries are in season and contact me.”

Shortly after the call ended, Tae-jun finally received the news he was waiting for. Strawberries were in high demand in a country a four-hour flight away.

There was no reason to hesitate. He immediately sped to Incheon Airport.

The birth of their fourth child, nicknamed ‘Strawberry,’ was imminent. The three baby Beastmen and Tae-jun prayed daily for the arrival of their fourth child. Perhaps it was thanks to their prayers for the baby’s health and safe delivery. This time too, Tae-jun endured the labor pains admirably in Yumin’s stead, and the child was born with a strong cry.

The fourth child was a relatively small wildcat Beastman. Looking down at the baby sleeping peacefully, wrapped in a swaddle, Yumin said.

“Our Strawberry is so pretty.”

“Really. She’s pretty, just like you, Yumin.”

“No, she’s a spitting image of Tae-jun. Her eyes are sharp, and she has a lot of hair.”

“No, she’s incredibly cute, just like you were as a child.”

“I guess so. She’s a wildcat, after all.”

Yumin chuckled lightly and kissed Tae-jun’s cheek with a loud smack. Then, he whispered very softly.

“I’m curious who the fifth child will take after, shall we try to find out?”

Special Side Story Wildcat 1. Idol AU

“Tiger! Tiger!”

“Six Tigers are the best!”

Fans filling the seats screamed. The six tigers on stage, Six Tigers, showcased their overwhelming charm once again today. Their performance was so intense it could tear the stage apart, their incredibly sweet low tones and storm-like rap were as legendary as ever.

Tae-jun’s gaze, standing at the center, was particularly breathtaking. The general consensus was that just looking at him felt like being sucked in, or devoured.

He was a perfectly handsome man with a face clearly defined by light and shadow, and his physical condition was even superior. Tae-jun had taken over the idol scene with his dancing, utilizing his tall stature of over 190cm and long limbs. He was, in short, a perfect idol.

“Tae-jun! Tae-jun, cat ears!”

“Tae-jun, show us some aegyo, do cat aegyo.”

Fans pleaded with Tae-jun for aegyo. Tae-jun, who had been leisurely scanning the audience while wiping sweat, sharpened his gaze.

“Shh, that’s a no.”

Tae-jun said with a serious expression.

He had immense pride as a Tiger Beastman. Therefore, he had no desire to imitate the weakest of the feline family, a domestic cat.

Who are tigers? Aren’t they the apex predators, the ultimate rulers of the wild?

The team, including Tae-jun, was composed entirely of Tiger Beastmen. In other words, their wild performances were based on the ferocity and spirit of tigers.

Now in their second year since debut, Six Tigers had a clear path ahead. Until, that is, the day one of the members was discovered to be having an affair with a married woman.

“Crazy bastard! Kick him out.”

“He’s a disgrace to tigers. Expel him immediately!”

The fans’ public opinion was fierce. The leader, Tae-jun, strongly voiced his opinion. Unable to ignore Tae-jun’s thoughts, the agency unceremoniously cut the member. The member was kicked out, and the controversy subsided, but concerned eyes were cast upon them as they halted their activities.

Tae-jun, the core of the team, spent days in meetings with the agency executives. The main topic was that the stage, completed by the synchronized choreography of six members, could not afford to have a vacant spot.

“Let’s recruit one new member.”

Once again, Tae-jun offered his opinion decisively.

The agency immediately prepared for a private audition. Industry insiders showed interest at the news of selecting a new member to fill Six Tigers’ vacant spot. Idol hopefuls, in particular, were put on high alert. This was due to the generous condition that anyone, regardless of their current agency, could audition as long as they were a ‘Tiger Beastman.’

One person was drawn by this news. His name was Go Yumin. He was a trainee at an agency so small it was pathetic.

He was beside himself with the desire to participate in the audition. He had been Tae-jun’s biggest fan for a long time.

“Oh my god, a Six Tigers member…! I’ll do it! President, please let me audition!”

As soon as Yumin heard about the audition notice, he actively expressed his desire. However, the agency President’s thoughts were negative.

“But Yumin, you’re a wildcat?”

The most important first condition of the audition notice. The clause stating that only Tiger Beastmen could audition was firmly in place. However, Yumin was insistent.

“I can just trick them. Tigers and wildcats are all the same, aren’t they?”

“They’re very different. You’re small, and you don’t look fierce like a tiger at all.”

Yumin was far from the beastly style anyone would expect. He had a slender build and slightly upturned eyes that gave him a cute appearance. As a wild feline, a wildcat Beastman, his appearance was inherently distinct.

“I can dye my hair and get piercings. If I scowl and go ‘ROAR,’ I think I can do it! As long as you keep my secret, President, I can fool everyone!”

Yumin’s logic was as follows. Beastmen usually use deodorants. It was considered bad manners to wander around exuding one’s natural animal pheromones. Therefore, there was a culture of wearing perfume to mask one’s original scent, whether one was a tiger or a cat. Yumin figured he could just hide the scent of a wildcat with strong perfume.

“Hmm, will that be enough?”

“It will be! I really want to be a Six Tigers member, President. Please!”

He had been passionately in love with Tae-jun for two years already. His walls were plastered with Tae-jun’s sexy photoshoots, and he even ran a social media account. It was an actively managed account with over 10,000 subscribers.

On days when Tae-jun dropped new content, Yumin went wild. He collected photos and uploaded them, adding plenty of fangirl comments.

#BeomTaejun #SexyBeastman #IfBornAsHumanWouldBeBeomTaejun #TaejunEatTheCameraIllEatYouToo #LifeWithoutBeomTaejunIsDeath #RecruitingBeomTaejunKidnappers

His frequently used hashtags were also quite obsessive. Yumin loved Tae-jun on stage so much that he wanted to sleep with the real him.

Yes. Yumin genuinely dreamed of a passionate night with Tae-jun. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he spent all day contemplating how he could approach Tae-jun and sleep with him.

“I’ll do well. I promise I won’t get caught!”

“Alright. If you’re that determined then…”

The President threw in the towel, completely overwhelmed by Yumin’s tantrum. It seemed impossible to break the will of the incredibly stubborn Yumin. After vowing to keep each other’s secrets for life, Yumin submitted his audition application.

He attached photos where he looked good and videos of his singing and dancing, and received a call for passing the first round. Now, only the final audition remained.

“Thank you for your hard work. You may stop now.”

The atmosphere in the audition hall was not good. Tiger Beastmen from all over the country seemed to have gathered, but there wasn’t a single member who stood out. While dancing and singing were important, they lacked individuals with a strong presence who could showcase the ferocity of a tiger.

Tae-jun, seated alongside agency executives as a judge, was deep in thought. The contestants were unable to showcase their skills, constantly glancing at Tae-jun. Whenever he opened his mouth and revealed his sharp fangs, the audition participants grew tense. Such behavior also displeased Tae-jun.

“This one’s not good either. This friend looks too frail. There doesn’t seem to be any talent worthy of our Six Tigers’ reputation.”

“Tae-jun, you agree, right? They’re all mediocre, I don’t know who to pick.”

“Yes. It’s consistently disappointing. I hope the next contestant does well, but who knows.”

Tae-jun indifferently waited for the next applicant. The moment he was called in, the door burst open with a bang! The boy who appeared with a resounding sound that made one wonder if the door had been destroyed, wore a name tag that read . His determined stride, contrasting with his small physique, caught the eye.

Yumin bowed deeply towards Tae-jun and shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Hello! My name is Go! Yu! Min! The singing tiger!”

“…You have a lot of spirit. May we see your prepared dance?”

“Of course! Yaaah!”

Yumin started dancing with a burst of energy. His technique was excessive, and his expressions were overly dramatic. His movements, which involved excessively popping his joints, were not clean. One judge gestured for Yumin to stop, but Yumin continued dancing to the music.

“One, two! One, two!”

“You may stop. Please show us your singing.”

“Ah… are you perhaps not satisfied with me?”

Tae-jun frowned at Yumin’s question. His demeanor, not being intimidated by Tae-jun, was impressive.

“Not particularly. I’m just trying to be objective.”

“Then please listen to my song just once. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

Yumin was extremely confident. He even exuded a certainty that he would be chosen. Tae-jun adjusted his posture and looked directly into Yumin’s eyes.

His innocent eyes, fitting his round face, were somewhat unfitting for a tiger’s gaze. However, his spirit had to be acknowledged. He didn’t look away even when making eye contact with Tae-jun, who possessed the highest level of spirit among tigers.

“Alright. Let’s hear it.”

Yumin sang with all his might. His singing ability was not objectively top-tier. However, even while singing, he maintained direct eye contact with Tae-jun. For a long time, he didn’t look at anyone else, only at Tae-jun. It was as if he understood that Tae-jun’s opinion was crucial in today’s audition.

“Good. I like it.”

Tae-jun highly valued Yumin’s audacity. Although his physique was small, if he styled his orange-dyed hair well, he could give off a tiger-like vibe. Tae-jun’s opinion was that his inferior physique compared to other members could be overcome by his spirit.

“I have made up my mind. I wish to recruit Go Yumin as the new member.”

The judges intended to follow Tae-jun’s wishes entirely anyway. If Tae-jun, the absolute focal point of the team, was satisfied, that was the most important thing. The finer details of his skills could be honed through training.

“You passed. Go Yumin.”

“Wow… Wow! Me!”

Yumin couldn’t believe it. He had boldly entered the audition and won instantly. He would be able to stand by Tae-jun’s side as a member of Six Tigers, not anyone else. It was a pleasant premonition that his long unrequited love might come true.

“Thank you! I will work hard!”

Yumin bowed deeply and wept. Everyone misunderstood, thinking he was overwhelmed by achieving his dream of becoming a singer. Little did they know, his heart was filled with the scheme, ‘Now Beom Tae-jun is mine. I will definitely have him!’

Immediately after being confirmed as a member, Yumin moved his residence. He was to move into the Six Tigers dorm for the so-called . While packing his belongings, Yumin hummed a tune. He packed plenty of flowy clothes and excessively short crop tops. It was all to seduce Tae-jun at any moment.

“I need to pack perfume!”

He also packed several bottles of strong musk-scented perfume. He figured if he sprayed the Beastman deodorant and then liberally applied the perfume, his natural pheromones wouldn’t be detectable. Yumin grinned and doused his neck, wrists, and even the crown of his head with perfume.

The luxurious multi-use residential building showcased the status of the team, which was currently the most popular. Yumin ascended to the upper floors, looking around the building with curious eyes. Upon arriving at the dorm, the manager greeted Yumin. He covered his nose and greeted Yumin.

“Welcome… Your perfume scent is quite strong.”

“As a Tiger Beastman myself, I’m sensitive about scent management. Don’t all the members use Beastman deodorants?”

“They do, but they don’t spray it this strongly. Anyway, it’s personal preference, so I respect it.”

“Yes, please take care of me. Where is my room?”

“Ah, about that. We’re short on rooms, so you’ll have to share a room with Tae-jun. Is that okay?”

“What? Really?”

Yumin’s jaw dropped in surprise. He was already ecstatic just to be living in the same dorm as Tae-jun, but to share a room? For a fan like him, this was an unparalleled opportunity. Moreover, it came with the bonus chance to see Tae-jun undressed or observe him while he slept. Yumin was so happy he practically jumped for joy.

“I love it! I’m perfectly fine with it!”

“Your reaction is good, that’s a relief. You can go to that room.”

Guided by the manager, Yumin entered the room. Tae-jun was apparently out, as he wasn’t there. However, the room was filled with his wild scent.

“Wow… It’s Tae-jun’s scent. What do I do!”

Yumin jumped onto the bed that smelled of Tae-jun, out of the two beds placed side by side. He giggled, taking a deep breath. He couldn’t stop smiling.

“Ah, it’s… sexy. The scent is sexy.”

Tae-jun’s scent was a forest-like perfume, but beneath it, a heavy beastly presence could be felt. His burning gaze, his strong physique, the potent masculinity of a powerful predator were strong. It was exactly the kind of scent Yumin loved to death. As he sniffed the scent, his lower body involuntarily tensed.

“Huh, it’s hard.”

Yumin looked down at his crotch. It seemed he was aroused by the very situation of engaging in lewd behavior in a room where the owner was absent. The outline of his erect penis was clearly visible beneath his tracksuit.

“Should I take one out?”

Yumin glanced around subtly. He thought it would be perfect to masturbate while imagining Tae-jun. He slightly lowered his pants, revealing his hips, and began to fumble with his lower body. Yumin, who was about to stroke his semi-erect penis, suddenly stopped.

“Ah, there will be the smell of semen. I should refrain.”

Yumin hit his head, thinking he was short-sighted. If he masturbated, the smell of semen would inevitably linger in the air, increasing the risk of his identity being discovered. While he could roughly mask his body odor with deodorant and perfume, semen inherently carried the unique essence of that animal. It would undoubtedly carry traces of a small feline, and there was a high probability that his being a tiger would be exposed.

“Tch, what a shame…”

Yumin licked his lips and pulled up his pants again. He needed to research further whether semen scent could also be faked. Just as he finished putting on his pants, the door opened.

“Oh!”

“Ah, the new member.”

“Nice to meet you, Beom Tae-jun.”

Yumin greeted him, startled. If the timing had been even slightly off, he would have been caught masturbating on someone else’s bed. Still, he greeted him with an active smile, and Tae-jun readily accepted his handshake.

“Nice to meet you too. Go Yumin.”

“Yeah, yeah! Let’s get along well from now on. But our beds are really close…”

“What?”

“The beds are so close that I wouldn’t even know if I rolled over onto yours. Right?”

“Is that so? Hmm, well, either way, please take care of me.”

Tae-jun casually brushed off Yumin’s nonsensical remark. He was tired from choreography practice and wanted to lie down quickly. Before that, he intended to go into the bathroom attached to the room.

As usual, Tae-jun shed his clothes. Yumin covered his mouth and let out a scream.

“Ah!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Ah, it’s nothing.”

“Alright. I’ll go wash up.”

Tae-jun’s unexpected exposure excited Yumin. The sound of water from the bathroom was also sexy. Yumin rolled around on his bed, writhing. He felt like he was going to go crazy from sheer ecstasy.

‘I love it!’

He was so proud of himself for bravely participating in the audition and joining Six Tigers.

The next day, Tae-jun’s thrilling impulsive actions continued. Like a Beastman, Tae-jun didn’t like wearing clothes much. He would often take off his top and wander around the dorm wearing only his pants.

Yumin spent his days diligently stealing glances at Tae-jun’s bare body. Even while filming self-produced content with other members, his gaze was fixed on Tae-jun. He even spied on Tae-jun while wearing sunglasses to hide his eyes.

“Yumin, you’ll have steak, right?”

“Uh-huh, sure.”

“You’re rare too?”

“Obviously.”

The content filming was under the concept of . They ate bloody steak, a favorite of Tiger Beastmen. Yumin didn’t find it to his taste at all.

He usually preferred processed cat food cans that were easy to eat. He also liked raw fish like tuna, but even those were cut into small pieces. He found it difficult to digest wilder menus like the real Tiger Beastmen.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“Huh? Ah, no. I’ll eat it all. I love raw meat so much.”

Every time Tae-jun spoke to him, Yumin’s heart leaped. He was afraid his secret might be revealed. He, a small wildcat, had dared to imitate a great tiger, and he feared the wrath if that fact were discovered.

Proud tigers prided themselves on being fundamentally different from small felines. They would often mock them, saying, “Aren’t domestic cats and wildcats all the same?”

‘Tae-jun also seems to have immense pride as a tiger. I must never let him find out.’

Yumin vowed again and again.

However, just a few days later, a crisis was imminent. It was the day of the comeback showcase. It was the first official event since recruiting the new member, so fan expectations were high. The competition rate for randomly selecting attendees from pre-registered fans was 50:1. For Yumin, it was his debut stage in the entertainment industry, making him even more nervous.

“What do I do? Can I do this?”

“You’ve got guts, you can do it.”

Tae-jun encouraged Yumin, who was trembling. Although his tone was calm, his deep voice was a very attractive form of encouragement. Yumin, who interpreted even his fellow member’s encouragement as arousal, quickly regained his spirits.

“Okay. I’ll fight!”

Yumin repeatedly encouraged himself. But he was too anxious and nervous. In his state of being utterly beside himself, he skipped one step, unlike his usual self.

It was the perfume application. When sleeping or when active, I always used to hide the wildcat smell with a strong perfume, but today I just ended up skipping it.

Without noticing, Yumin was on standby. It was almost time to go up on stage.

Special Side Story Wildcat 2

“Six Tigers, I missed you!”

“Kyaak, Six Tigers fighting!”

Cheers erupted within the concert hall. The fans’ gazes were fixed on the new member.

“Wow, I guess that’s the new member.”

“So cute. Their height is just average, but their face is nice.”

“No joke. Look at their aegyo.”

The reactions surrounding Yumin were fervent. Unlike the other members, Yumin, with his average height and pretty features, had a definite presence.

“Who are we, Six Tigers! I’m the newbie tiger, gotta get it, whoa!”

His singing skills, honed day and night, weren’t bad either. In fact, some even commented that the melodious vocals blended harmoniously among the growling members.

“I like him.”

“Me too! Go Yumin fighting!”

Overall, the fans were welcoming towards Yumin. Yumin was so happy he practically bounced. The cheers of fans, whom he was meeting for the first time, puffed up his chest.

Yumin was so excited he couldn’t see straight. That’s why he didn’t notice Tae-jun staring at him suspiciously for a while now.

‘Wait a minute. What is this smell I’ve been sensing since earlier?’

Tae-jun had a very keen sense of smell. Like most Beastmen, he was particularly sensitive to the scent of other species. But Yumin, who should have been exuding sweat or perfume, had a strange smell about him.

It was… insignificant, somehow. Like someone who would be swallowed whole with no resistance, just falling into one’s mouth. The scent of a weak being, one who would shed tears and beg, “Mighty Tiger, please save me.” To put it more simply, it smelled like a pushover.

‘Why is that? Yumin is clearly a Tiger Beastman too. Even with the difference in physique, could it really be this pathetic?’

Tae-jun fell into deep thought. Beastmen were originally ranked by their power hierarchy. Thus, they could instinctively recognize weaker beings. Their survival depended on their perceptiveness, so they rarely made mistakes. The aura Tae-jun sensed now was too weak to be that of a tiger.

‘Is he not a tiger?’

His deduction led to a hypothesis. It was a plausible scenario if he was pretending to be a tiger when he wasn’t one at all. Looking back, Yumin had other suspicious points besides his scent.

He wasn’t from a Tiger Beastman enclave, nor did he properly reveal his hometown. He hadn’t attended a school frequented by Tiger Beastmen either. He’d apparently been homeschooled, which meant he didn’t seem to have any tiger acquaintances.

‘This is strange. I need to keep watching him.’

Tae-jun decided to keep his mouth shut. If the new member had disqualifying flaws, the team, which had barely found stability, would falter. It seemed better to discreetly investigate Yumin’s identity rather than acting rashly. However, his patience would only last until he found conclusive evidence.

If it turned out he had dared to deceive tigers and snatched the new member spot, there would be no mercy. He should consider himself lucky if he wasn’t torn to shreds.

‘I heard there were those who auditioned in disguise.’

The manager had told him a story. There were other species vying for Six Tigers’ new member spot, and a few had been caught. They were utterly fearless. How dare they barge into the den of tigers, stronger than any other carnivore? They were practically begging for death, so it was fine to trample them mercilessly.

‘Go Yumin, you have guts, but… you’ve been marked by me.’

Unaware of any of this, Yumin sang through the encore, soaring across the stage. It was a perfect debut.

News of Six Tigers’ continued strength, along with the fact that Yumin was a decent member, spread far and wide. Yumin’s name ranked high on SNS trending searches, and posts showing interest in Yumin flooded various communities.

“Wow! I guess I’m popular. This is so exciting.”

Despite the insanely busy schedule, Yumin’s reaction was simply one of happiness. Tae-jun asked him, who claimed he was too happy to feel tired from the joy of his debut.

“Go Yumin, you like it that much?”

“Uh-huh! I love it!”

“…You must have really wanted to debut.”

Tae-jun smiled faintly, and Yumin’s heart skipped a beat.

‘His looks are dangerously attractive. He’s too handsome. Just looking at him makes my head spin.’

He had achieved his dream of a happy debut, and handsome Tae-jun was by his side. Yumin had nothing to envy.

‘I can’t hold back any longer. I need to get intimate with Tae-jun quickly.’

Yumin had been hinting that he could have sex with Tae-jun anytime he wanted. But the fact that nothing had happened even while sharing a room with Tae-jun made him feel a sense of crisis. Desire alone wouldn’t lead to success, so he needed to use his head. The problem was how to seduce Tae-jun.

Yumin possessed a strong beastly libido. It was characteristic of wildcat beastmen to have sex with a mating partner once they found one.

There were broadly two mating strategies. The first was to gradually build intimacy with the sexual partner and break down their defenses. The other was to boldly advance. Given Yumin’s personality, the latter suited him better. It was because he found it difficult to control his overflowing libido.

‘Haa.’

Even at this moment, Yumin was secretly swallowing his saliva while looking at Tae-jun’s well-developed glutes and thigh muscles.

‘Ah, I’m going crazy. Look at that thick waist. And his arms?’

Tae-jun was strengthening his arm muscles by lifting a barbell. Yumin couldn’t tear his eyes away from the impressive musculature that stood out in the vast gym.

‘He looks so strong. He could crush me if he hugged me once. I love it.’

Yumin wiped away saliva that had escaped his lips without him realizing and scanned Tae-jun’s back.

“One, two. One, two.”

Tae-jun squatted, making his thigh muscles bulge, performing squats. With every movement, his abs and waist tightened, exuding a wild charm.

There was only one reason the members were sweating it out in the gym from early morning. It was the upcoming Idol Sports Competition. The was an annual event hosted by a broadcasting station, where athletic and well-built idols gathered to compete.

Beastman idols, with their superior physical abilities compared to human idols, were automatically selected for the Idol Sports Competition upon their debut. Yumin had also greatly admired the Beastman idols participating in the Idol Sports Competition during his trainee days. Now, right after his debut, the timing was perfect for him to participate in the filming. It was incredibly happy and… intriguing news.

“Haa…”

“Go Yumin, what are you muttering about? You’re not even exercising.”

“Ah, it’s nothing. I was just thinking how good you are, Tae-jun.”

“I have to be good. Six Tigers will win the sports competition this year. We need to sweep the short-distance running, relays, archery, and obstacle course.”

“Right. I’ll contribute too.”

The list of participants hadn’t been submitted to the broadcasting station yet. Realizing this, Tae-jun asked.

“By the way, Yumin, are you good at running?”

“Me? I’m pretty good.”

“Good enough to compete?”

“Of course. I’m confident! Let me participate.”

In truth, Yumin wasn’t incredibly fast at running. His speed was decent for a wildcat, but it couldn’t compare to the instantaneous speed of tigers. If he participated in the sports competition, his lacking running skills would naturally be exposed.

He worried about what to do, but he figured he could just say he wasn’t feeling well. Since Yumin’s priority was to participate as a competitor, he readily spun a lie.

“I used to work out a lot in my neighborhood. I’m good at soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis.”

“You, is that true?”

“Why would I lie?”

“Hmm… Then let’s have you run the short-distance race. Can you do it?”

“Absolutely! I’m so excited!”

Fortunately, Tae-jun seemed to fall for it.

Yumin began special training in preparation for the Idol Physique Competition.

To hide his less developed muscles compared to the other members, he bought special padded underwear. However, the delivery didn’t arrive until the competition was just around the corner. Anxious, Yumin called the seller repeatedly, urging them to ship it.

“Ship it immediately. If you don’t want to see me go crazy!”

After much fuss, the package arrived the day before the competition. Yumin secretly put on the underwear and then his team uniform over it. It was a t-shirt with a roaring tiger face emblazoned on it.

“Oh, Yumin, you have a better physique than I thought.”

“You’re a tiger too, after all. I thought you were skinny, but you’re not.”

The members marveled, wondering if Yumin had always had such a body. The padded underwear had flawlessly created firm chest muscles and abs. It looked incredibly natural. Yumin felt relieved and pleased inwardly. He thought today might be the day he would finally get intimate with Tae-jun.

He would captivate Tae-jun with his fantastic physique and impressive athletic skills. Tonight would be a scorching hot night.

Yumin burned with unfounded confidence.

The indoor gymnasium was filled with the heat generated by about 10,000 fans. Six Tigers, like other idol teams, had invited about 100 fans to the stands. A running track was set up on the first floor, and fans sat packed from the second floor upwards. Everyone was confident that the well-built Six Tigers would win.

“Kyaa! Six Tigers fighting!”

“Guys, don’t get hurt!”

The Idol Sports Competition also featured cheering battles between each fandom as another spectacle. Seeing the fans dancing with pom-poms like cheerleaders made Yumin smile. He thought he had made the right decision becoming an idol.

“Yumin-ah, Go Yumin! Today you’re not a roaring tiger, but a cat. So cute!”

“Haha. Me, a cat? No way. I’m a predator.”

“Even when you’re serious, you’re cute!”

The fans teased Yumin, recording reaction videos. Some fans were live-streaming the broadcast of Tae-jun’s beastly physique. The fans watched Six Tigers without a moment’s rest.

In fact, it wasn’t just the fans. Other idols sitting on the floor of the gymnasium were doing the same.

“Wow… As expected, Six Tigers.”

“Beom Tae-jun in person is insane. His back is so wide.”

“He’s truly sexy.”

Tae-jun was rumored in the industry to be quite good-looking in person. His physique, living up to his reputation, made everyone’s mouths water. Yumin, sensing the admiring gazes directed at Tae-jun, felt displeased.

“Hmph! Who do you think you are, looking at our Tae-jun like that?”

Despite being the one looking at Tae-jun the most intently, Yumin was shameless.

“Tae-jun-ah. Let’s practice.”

“Sure. Let’s warm up.”

Yumin and Tae-jun were both participating in the short-distance race. Under the guise of preparing for the preliminary rounds, Yumin requested couple’s stretching.

“Okay, grab my shoulders tightly and press down. That’s it! Press down hard until my back arches like a bow…!”

“That’s too extreme a movement, you might get hurt.”

“Wow, Tae-jun, are you worried about me? I’m fine, so press harder.”

Under the pretense of stretching, Yumin enjoyed the physical contact with Tae-jun. Every time his firm fingertips pressed his scapula, he felt extreme ecstasy.

“Doesn’t it tickle?”

“No, I love it. Do more there…!”

Yumin even had Tae-jun caress his back. Tae-jun thought Yumin was no ordinary person.

‘Go Yumin is definitely not a Tiger Beastman. I’ve been watching him closely, but every time, I get the feeling he’s not a tiger. If that’s the case, he’s brazenly deceiving me, and he’s quite something.’

Tae-jun suspected Yumin’s seemingly good physique today wasn’t real. With his sharp eyes, Tae-jun examined what made Yumin appear so muscular. He suspected he might be wearing padded underwear. After all, a tiger couldn’t be this slim. Yumin had nicely defined lean muscles, but his basic bone structure wasn’t large. His slender legs almost made him look like a herbivore.

‘His calves are very firm yet straight. He doesn’t seem like an animal that can’t run… but he’s not as sturdy as a tiger.’

From their practice earlier, Yumin seemed naturally agile and quick. He lacked the explosive power of a tiger, but his running style suggested he would be good at escaping. So, what was Yumin in conclusion? Perhaps he was one of the felines, like a caracal or a leopard.

“He could be a cheetah…”

“Tae-jun-ah! Let’s go.”

“Yeah, sure.”

Tae-jun’s gaze lingered on Yumin’s entire body without him realizing it. His eyes stayed on the rising gluteal muscles and firm thighs. Observing Yumin had become a habit.

“On your marks, runners. Ready!”

Standing on the track, Yumin and Tae-jun shot off the moment the gun fired. The audience screamed in surprise.

“Look at Beom Tae-jun. Just like a tiger. He’s running unfairly well.”

“Right. The gap between him and second place is considerable.”

Tae-jun was clearly in overwhelming first place. His speed, so fast his legs were a blur, was that of a beast itself. Second place was Yumin. His leaping ability, superior to human idols, gave him an advantage in the early part of the race.

“Go Yumin! Go Yumin!”

“Yumin fighting!”

The fans also went wild for Yumin’s unexpectedly strong performance. Yumin, who had been running steadily, faltered at the 40-meter mark. Because he had exerted too much force and flailed his limbs, the padded underwear had shifted. His chest became lopsided, creating an unsightly appearance.

“Oops, my chest!”

Yumin gasped and clutched his chest. While his running performance was good, he didn’t want to appear on TV with uneven breasts. It would be embarrassing for Tae-jun too. This distraction caused him to lose focus. While trying to adjust his chest, Yumin stumbled.

“Ugh!”

His upper and lower body balance thrown off, Yumin tumbled forward.

“What do we do, Go Yumin!”

“Yumin-ah!”

Thump, roll, roll. Yumin sprawled on the ground like a rolling acorn.

“Huff. Is he hurt? Yumin-ah!”

“Yumin-ah, are you okay?”

Concerned voices from the fans echoed. Tae-jun was just meters away from the finish line at that moment. With only a few meters left, he stopped.

“Go Yumin!”

“Tae, Tae-jun-ah…”

Tae-jun turned back. He ran without hesitation towards Yumin, who was clutching his ankle, looking lost.

“Tae-jun-ah. You didn’t cross the finish line…!”

“You looked like you were badly hurt.”

Tae-jun scooped up the tearful Yumin in his arms. The stadium erupted in cheers from the fans.

“Uwaaak! Tae-jun picked up Yumin!”

“The two of them look so good together!”

Even the announcer marveled at Six Tigers’ touching camaraderie. The fans, moved by the display of friendship, added an RPS-like perspective to enjoy the situation.

“Kyaa! This is the best!”

“More amazing than winning!”

Although he didn’t cross the finish line, Tae-jun was unmatched in terms of buzz. The news that Tae-jun had not finished the race because he was worried about his injured member spread like wildfire through SNS. Tae-jun’s image improved even further. Yumin’s excitement was beyond words.

‘Could Tae-jun like me too?’

Carried on Tae-jun’s back as he was escorted out, Yumin indulged in sweet fantasies. No matter how he thought about it, Tae-jun must have been completely smitten by his sexy charm.

‘I’m definitely going to get intimate tonight. I wonder if I can do it with my body hurting? My ankle just hurts, so it should be fine.’

Yumin grinned to himself, lost in his own delusions.

Special Side Story Wildcat 3

Yumin went to the medical booth with Tae-jun’s help. Fortunately, the diagnosis was that he wasn’t seriously injured. It was a simple treatment, just a sprain spray. Unfortunately, he couldn’t participate in the relay, but instead, he would switch members and events to compete in archery.

“Archery is fine! I can still do it even with my ankle hurting.”

This year, the archery lineup was particularly strong. Six Tigers were last year’s champions, but the Gazelles, hot on their heels, were a formidable threat. Also, the Hawk Beastmen team, known for their exceptional eyesight, was scheduled to compete.

“Yumin! Go Yumin, cheer up!”

“You can do it, right? Fighting!”

Fans chanted Yumin’s name as he returned to the archery set. Yumin wasn’t too worried, as he was confident in his eyesight. However, it had been so hot lately, and that was bothering him.

“Ugh, I’m dying of heat.”

Even though he was wearing a t-shirt, he felt his body temperature rising unusually fast, perhaps because of the shapewear underneath. As Yumin fanned himself, Tae-jun approached him.

“What’s wrong, are you hot?”

“Yeah. Tae-jun, isn’t it really hot here?”

“It’s comfortably cool for me. Maybe it’s because you were running earlier.”

Tae-jun placed his hand on Yumin’s forehead. Yumin’s temperature made Tae-jun flinch.

“Why are you so hot?”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. You have a fever. Are you sick?”

“No. I’m fine…?”

Yumin didn’t feel sick anywhere in particular. His condition was fine, apart from not being able to regulate his body temperature. Of course, as Tae-jun said, he did have a high fever.

“Are you sure you can compete?”

“I’m fine.”

“Really?”

“Yeah! Just leave it to me.”

Yumin placed an ice pack on the back of his neck to cool down. He also gulped down cold water.

However, after twenty minutes, and then an hour, his fever wouldn’t drop easily.

If anything, he felt hotter than before, making him want to take off his pants.

“Wow, it’s hot. I’m sweating even in shorts. I want to just rip them off and be in my underwear.”

Talking nonsense, Yumin touched his own hot thighs. He was thirsty despite drinking plenty of water. Yumin kept sticking out his tongue to wet his lips.

“Hoo…”

His face was bright red, and sweat streamed down his temples. Worried murmurs about Yumin’s condition spread from the audience.

“Is Yumin hot? His face is so red.”

“Yeah, Yumin’s face looks like it’s going to explode.”

Finally, Yumin started to pant. He gasped as if suffering from heatstroke, wiping the sweat from his forehead. His makeup was on the verge of melting from the sweat.

In a moment, the archery competition will begin. Idols participating, please stand by.

The archery match was scheduled to start soon, but he couldn’t stand in front of the cameras like this. He wanted to go wash his face somewhere. Yumin whispered to Tae-jun, who was sitting next to him.

“Tae-jun, I’m so hot, I’m going to head to the waiting room for a bit.”

“The competition is starting soon, though?”

“It’ll only be a moment. I’ll be right back!”

That was when it happened. Tae-jun’s pupils narrowed vertically. A suspicious aura emanated from him, awakening the animalistic instincts within Tae-jun.

‘This scent… it’s definitely…?’

A faint but unfamiliar scent wafted from Yumin. It was a highly stimulating and captivating body odor. It wasn’t his usual scent, but the distinct aroma of a beastman in Heat Cycle.

‘No way?’

Tae-jun was incredibly perceptive. He guessed that Yumin was currently aroused in a certain way. As proof, his pupils were more dilated than usual, and the tips of his ears were flushed red. Not only was his entire body burning up, but his breath was also hot and ragged.

“Yumin!”

Tae-jun tried to call out to stop Yumin. But Yumin had already hurried towards the exit.

“Haa… What’s wrong with me. I can’t walk.”

As he walked down the corridor outside the competition venue, Yumin swayed. His legs felt weak, and his soles itched. He couldn’t walk more than a few steps without leaning on the wall.

Everyone else was out on the track, so the corridor was empty. There was no one to help Yumin. Meanwhile, his breathing grew more rapid.

“Huk. Huk.”

Yumin clutched his chest, groaning. It seemed the restrictive shapewear was hindering his blood circulation.

“I have to take it off. It’ll get better if I take it off.”

Yumin roughly flung open the waiting room door. His feet tangled, and he stumbled with a clatter.

He knocked over makeup supplies with his elbow, then jumped onto the sofa. He quickly crossed his arms and pulled off his t-shirt. The offending shapewear was soaked with sweat.

“Hic…!”

After barely managing to shed the undergarment, Yumin gasped for breath. But he didn’t calm down even as time passed. This time, his pants bothered him. Yumin instinctively pulled down the waistband. And then he witnessed a surprising sight.

“Huh…? It’s hard.”

Yumin’s penis was fully erect. He pulled out his penis, which had been complaining about being constricted under his underwear.

“Ngh, why is it hard… why…”

Yumin whispered like a sigh as he gripped his own. His reason had long since been paralyzed. He had even forgotten that he was in a waiting room. All he could think about was gripping and stroking his itchy penis.

“Ngh, hic…! Ahh!”

He didn’t know if someone might open the door and walk in at any moment. Despite the situation, Yumin was out of his mind. He leaned back on the sofa and spread his legs wide. He tightly gripped his pink penis with both hands, stroking it up and down.

He squeezed it so hard his penis began to sting. Yet, he couldn’t stop.

“Haa… Tae-jun, Tae-jun.”

He called out Tae-jun’s name. When he closed his eyes, he could naturally imagine him. He was lost in fantasies of Tae-jun caressing him and kissing him passionately.

“Ah… that feels good, Tae-jun. Tae-jun.”

Yumin writhed his hips, thrusting his pelvis. The excitement surged rapidly as he imagined Tae-jun gripping him. His hand movements quickened, and his eyes rolled back.

He felt an orgasm approaching. The fact that he was outside, and even at a scheduled event, vanished from his mind.

Just a little more, just a little more.

His breath hitched. He felt he could reach his climax with just a few more strokes. His heart pounded like crazy, and his hands trembled. Yumin was now panting with his mouth open.

If only these hands were Tae-jun’s, not mine. If they were big, calloused fingers squeezing and stroking my penis.

“Hhng… Tae-jun…”

It was the very moment Yumin called out Tae-jun’s name with a moan. With a bang, the waiting room door burst open.

At first, he couldn’t properly grasp what was happening. He couldn’t understand why Tae-jun was standing before him, looking angry. Thinking he might have done something wrong, Yumin looked around, and his gaze stopped at his bare lower half.

That’s right. So engrossed in masturbation, he had forgotten he was masturbating. He finally realized he was staring blankly at Tae-jun, his lower body completely exposed, his small, well-shaped pink penis standing erect, his mouth agape, his eyes moist, and his cheeks flushed.

“T-Tae-jun!”

“…What the. I was wondering where you went.”

“Th-that’s, there’s a reason for all this!”

“…A reason?”

“Yes. At first glance, you might think I’m doing something strange on my own. I understand. But…”

“Then what is it?”

Tae-jun asked, raising one eyebrow. Yumin desperately wracked his brain but couldn’t come up with a suitable answer. As he was just rolling his eyes, Tae-jun spoke in a low, growling voice.

“What are you?”

“Wh-what?”

Yumin, who was awkwardly pulling up his pants, flinched. Tae-jun didn’t seem angry simply because Yumin had committed an indecent act. Of course, the fact that a fellow group member had lost control of himself at an inappropriate time and place, grabbing and stroking his penis, was shocking and infuriating enough. But Tae-jun’s tone held something more.

And Yumin, with his instincts as a wild beastman, caught that subtle nuance. No matter how unobservant Yumin was, he couldn’t ignore the threatening pheromones Tae-jun was exuding.

“You’re not a tiger, are you?”

At those words, Yumin’s heart sank with a thud. Startled, Yumin froze like ice.

“Th-no. I am a tiger!”

He shouted bravely, but his voice lacked any confidence. Anyone could tell it sounded very suspicious.

“Then what is that?”

Tae-jun pointed at Yumin’s head with his finger. Yumin quickly touched his head and felt something. Something of moderate size, round and elastic.

It was Yumin’s ear. A wildcat’s ear.

“Th-this is…”

“It’s not a fan signing event. Those don’t look like fake ears.”

Yumin sometimes wore cat ear headbands at the request of fans. This was because he was small and cute for a tiger beastman. He had debated refusing out of pride, but he couldn’t bring himself to reject gifts given with such affection, so Yumin always wore the headbands.

However, cat ear headbands were merely crude manufactured goods. They were incomparable to the magnificent ears of the proud wildcat beastman Yumin. And it seemed to be the same for Tae-jun. At a glance, Tae-jun recognized that the pair of ears sprouting from Yumin’s head were real, not fake.

But the problem didn’t end there. Yumin hadn’t realized it, but in his extreme sexual arousal, something fluffy and luscious had popped out from between his buttocks. It was a wildcat’s tail. As Tae-jun glared at him, the tail, now timid, drooped, and as it did, it brushed against the back of Yumin’s thighs with a soft thud.

And both Tae-jun’s and Yumin’s gazes fell upon the tail.

‘I’m ruined. Truly ruined.’

He might be able to pass off the ears, but the tail left no room for excuses. What kind of pervert would insert a tail between their buttocks? Such a thing would never happen, even at a fan signing event.

For a moment, Yumin pondered. What if he said he actually had incredibly secret and perverted sexual tastes, and that’s why he couldn’t resist inserting his tail into his backside during the sports festival break and enjoying himself?

But the thought was dismissed as soon as it arose. It wasn’t just for the pride of a wildcat beastman. Even though Yumin had infiltrated the group, risking his life to get close to Tae-jun, there was a line he had to maintain. There was a limit to human rights, or rather, beastman rights.

“…This is.”

“It was a cat.”

“A c-cat! How dare you!”

Tae-jun said in a cold voice. As Yumin flinched and looked up, he saw sharp fangs protruding from Tae-jun’s lips. Not to mention the predatory gaze one would only see when targeting an enemy’s neck. Yumin involuntarily took a step back.

“Then what is it? How dare a mere cat pretend to be a tiger?”

Tae-jun laughed, incredulous. Though thoroughly frightened, Yumin still had a retort.

“I told you it’s not! Calling me a cat is harsh!”

“Then what is it?”

“…A wildcat. I’m a wildcat.”

“That’s the same thing.”

“I’m sorry. Please spare me this once.”

“Spare you? What for? You must be tired of living?”

Tae-jun smiled coldly. His expressionless face was less terrifying. Tears welled up in Yumin’s eyes.

“Please, I beg you! Don’t tell the others…”

“Forget it, I’m telling the company too. You’re expelled immediately.”

“No!”

He had only just managed to secure a spot next to Tae-jun. If he continued to build rapport and bide his time, he would eventually be able to get on top of Tae-jun. But expulsion? If he was kicked out like this, he’d lose everything. Moreover, if he left the team having thoroughly offended Tae-jun, Yumin would never be able to approach Tae-jun again, no matter what he did. He had to resolve this issue, no matter what.

As soon as Yumin made up his mind, he dropped to his knees. His knees hit the hard floor, and it hurt, but this was no time to be squeamish. Ignoring the throbbing pain, Yumin pleaded in a desperate voice.

“Please, Tae-jun. Think of it as saving one wildcat, no, one person, and spare me.”

“Why should I?”

Ironically, a clip of Tae-jun’s past interview flashed in his mind. When asked about his least favorite personality trait, Tae-jun had curtly replied, “Lies.” At the time, Yumin had thought, ‘As expected, Tae-jun has such an upright personality,’ and moved on. But now that he was on the receiving end, Yumin’s world turned dark.

Yumin sniffled and then looked up. He harbored a faint hope that Tae-jun might show some mercy if he saw his pleading eyes.

“Please…”

Yumin put on the most pitiful and forlorn expression he could muster. His desperation to somehow win over Tae-jun turned into desperation, which in turn produced tears. Soon, a tear trickled down his cheek.

Seeing the sight, Tae-jun flinched. The moment he realized Yumin had lied about his identity, anger surged to the top of his head. It was a rage so strong he couldn’t control it himself. It wasn’t just that a member had deceived him. He felt heated by the thought of betrayal, especially since he had trusted Yumin and held a favorable opinion of him.

Whatever devious purpose he had for infiltrating, how dare he, a mere cat, no, a wildcat, pretend to be a tiger? For Tae-jun, who took immense pride in being a tiger beastman, the apex predator, this was unforgivable.

But something strange happened. The moment Yumin, kneeling on the floor, looked up, Tae-jun’s heart skipped a beat. It wasn’t out of surprise. Yumin’s tear-streaked face shook Tae-jun’s heart.

And that wasn’t all. If it had ended with just his heart pounding, it would have been better, but unfortunately, Tae-jun’s lower body also reacted. He was in a difficult situation due to his suddenly heavy groin.

Tae-jun covered his groin as naturally as possible and spoke. It was stiff and uncomfortable, but he couldn’t let them know he got hard because of Yumin’s crying face. He needed to get out of this situation first.

“…Alright.”

“Huh?”

“Go out for now. I’ll think about it.”

“R-really?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you, thank you! Tae-jun!”

Yumin sprang up like a coiled spring and immediately wrapped his arms around Tae-jun’s neck. As a result, Yumin’s small, slender, yet soft body pressed against Tae-jun’s. Tae-jun felt heat surge through his entire body in an instant.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, sorry. I was just so happy…”

As Tae-jun pushed Yumin away and questioned him, Yumin smiled shyly. Once again, Tae-jun’s gaze was drawn to Yumin’s face.

“But there’s a condition.”

“What is it?”

Yumin asked back in an anxious voice. His worried, downturned eyebrows stimulated Tae-jun’s sadistic side. The tears that had welled up in his eyes were gone. Tae-jun found this strangely disappointing and licked his lips. He felt an urge to lick and suck the tears from Yumin’s eyes.

“I’ll tell you later.”

“As long as it’s not too difficult, I’ll do anything!”

Special Side Story Wildcat 4

Even though his attitude of picking and choosing conditions, despite being in the inferior position, was slightly irritating, the urgent priority was to chase Yumin out before he noticed and calm his lower half. Tae-jun roughly concluded the conversation and sent Yumin outside.

Yumin, even as he left, glanced back at Tae-jun.

“What are you doing, not getting out of here already?”

“I’m sorry. I’ll get lost quickly!”

When Tae-jun growled, Yumin hastily exited the door. Only then did Tae-jun let out the sigh he had been holding back.

He casually glanced down and saw his engorged front. It was surprising that Yumin hadn’t noticed. Tae-jun licked his lips with his tongue, then slipped his hand into his pants.

As a Tiger Beastman, his libido was strong, but Tae-jun had a high boiling point. That is, he didn’t get hard for just anyone. Yet, strangely, the moment he recalled Yumin’s moist eyes, an urgent urge to ejaculate washed over him. Tae-jun rubbed his cock with rough, fast movements, lost in thought.

He had thought the guy was pathetic from the first time he saw him, but he never expected to use him as a wank material like this. To be honest, his crying face was quite sexy. His smooth cheeks, his flushed lips—there was nothing unarousing about him. Still, to be masturbating so abruptly. The thought that if anyone found out, it would shake the entertainment industry to its core, yet he couldn’t stop his hand.

‘Tae-jun, please.’

The small, red tongue that peeked out from between Yumin’s lips when he spoke. The moment he thought about sucking and biting that tongue, Tae-jun ejaculated.

“…Hoo.”

After his arousal subsided, Tae-jun leaned against the wall, lost in thought. To quickly get rid of Yumin, he had agreed to conditional release, but he hadn’t yet specified what those conditions were. Perhaps he could toy with Yumin to his heart’s content, just as he wanted.

Tae-jun gave a faint smile in the empty waiting room.

“Then, we will proceed with the archery competition. Teams participating in the preliminaries, please come forward!”

The MC’s voice echoed through the venue. Yumin hurried towards the archery range. He hadn’t realized that going to the waiting room for a moment due to the heat would lead to this mess. Time had already passed significantly due to masturbating and then being caught by Tae-jun and arguing. Fortunately, the competition hadn’t started yet, thanks to a delay in camera setup.

“Yumin, where did you go?”

“Ah… my stomach hurt.”

“Really? Is your ankle okay?”

When a member asked, Yumin desperately nodded. He couldn’t act awkward or strange. The member patted Yumin’s back and returned to the bench.

Left alone, Yumin gritted his teeth. Although he was flustered and nervous because of what had happened earlier, he had to stay calm, especially at a time like this. They say even if a tiger bites you, you can survive if you keep your wits about you. Tae-jun, like a tiger, had been ready to devour Yumin, but thanks to his calm handling, Yumin had survived. So, he had to appear as normal as possible.

However, reality was harsh, contrary to his wishes. Was it due to excessive tension? Or because he had stopped masturbating midway? Or was it the heat that clung to his body and wouldn’t leave? His vision blurred, and his arms trembled.

He pulled the bowstring with all his might, but the result was pathetic. The arrow flew weakly and fell far from the target.

“Ah, what a shame! Sixteigers’ Go Yumin, another zero points!”

Yumin’s face crumpled. At this rate, it would be a miracle if he didn’t get disqualified, let alone show any performance. Unlike regular archery matches, the rules were quite lenient to add entertainment value. Nevertheless, if he made two more mistakes, Sixteigers would face forfeiture.

Just then, Tae-jun’s figure came into Yumin’s sight. He was leaning against the stadium wall, arms crossed, glaring at Yumin. His sharp gaze seemed to reach the archery range from afar.

Unconsciously flinching, Yumin made another mistake. This time, the arrow fell right at his feet. The stadium filled with sighs of disappointment.

Yumin hung his head. Even if he hadn’t been found out to be a wildcat and not a tiger, it wouldn’t be strange for Tae-jun to beat him up and chase him away due to his terrible performance.

As he stood there, unsure of what to do in his predicament, Tae-jun’s voice was heard.

“I will take his place.”

“Sixteigers’ Beom Tae-jun has requested a player substitution!”

Simultaneously, cheers erupted in the stadium. Fans chanted Beom Tae-jun’s name and screamed.

“…Tae-jun?”

“Give it here.”

Tae-jun extended his hand to Yumin. Yumin hesitated for a moment before handing over the equipment to Tae-jun. But was it due to excessive tension? As he approached Tae-jun, he stumbled.

“Whoa, whoa?”

Tae-jun quickly caught Yumin as he lost his balance and stumbled. Suddenly enveloped in his broad embrace, Yumin, flustered, could only dart his eyes around.

“What do I do, did he see?”

“He saw! Crazy!”

Passionate cheers, unlike any he had ever heard, erupted from the fan section, but the frozen Yumin heard nothing.

“What are you doing? Are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah. I’m fine!”

Yumin sprang to his feet. Tae-jun, as if nothing had happened, took the equipment and stood at the shooting line. Yumin, left behind, stood there blankly.

It was different from when he had unconsciously hugged Tae-jun in the waiting room a little while ago. It was a very faint scent, but Yumin could detect it. It was an unfamiliar scent he had never smelled from Tae-jun before. It was sexual pheromones.

“What is this…?”

While Yumin stood there in a daze, the match resumed. Tae-jun drew his bow without hesitation, hitting a 10.

“Wow!”

“Beom Tae-jun is the best!”

Cheers erupted from all around. Even as Yumin clapped absentmindedly, a corner of his heart felt uneasy.

Ultimately, Sixteigers advanced to the finals, and Tae-jun easily won the gold medal by defeating the Hawk Beastmen group. Even while celebrating with his members, Yumin felt bewildered. His gaze kept drifting towards Tae-jun, but judging by Tae-jun’s expression, it was hard to guess what had happened.

Tae-jun’s performance was also dazzling in the subsequent 400m relay. In the relay, which featured four members excluding Yumin, who had injured his ankle, and a member who was usually slow, Tae-jun ran the anchor leg. The members, who had easily passed the preliminaries and reached the finals, burned with the will to win. As a result, they pulled away from the second-place group by a large margin and secured the relay gold medal.

Sixteigers ran towards the stands to greet their fans. Even the usually stoic Tae-jun had a smile on his lips, perhaps due to the joy of victory. As Yumin stood awkwardly beside him, Tae-jun put his arm around Yumin’s shoulder. Then, a sharp scream erupted from the audience. It wasn’t a scream of surprise or fear. It was a scream that involuntarily burst out when one saw an overly stimulating scene.

Yumin, unaware of Tae-jun’s intentions, passively let himself be guided by him.

That evening, the Sixteigers fandom was in an absolute uproar. It wasn’t just because Sixteigers had won the overall championship with the highest score. Of course, the news of their victory was enough to put the fandom in a festive mood. Congratulatory messages poured in on the communication app without pause. They came in so fast that no matter how much you scrolled, you couldn’t reach the end.

However, the core topic of the fans’ fervor was something else. They were driven wild by the affectionate displays between Tae-jun and Yumin that they had witnessed at the idol sports competition.

Ever since Yumin joined as a new member, the faction within the Sixteigers fandom that paired Tae-jun and Yumin had rapidly grown, quickly becoming the number one fan-pairing combination within the fandom. However, since Yumin had only recently joined in earnest, there wasn’t as much “bait” as they had hoped for. Of course, they could force pairings if they wanted, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy the thirst of the fan-pairing fans.

But as they say, the longer the wait, the sweeter the fruit. Tae-jun and Yumin, as if they had nothing else to do, generously bestowed them with bait. The archery match was particularly a highlight. Tae-jun unhesitatingly volunteered to substitute for Yumin, who was visibly nervous. And as he received the equipment, he tightly hugged Yumin. It was a loving embrace meant to comfort and ease Yumin’s tension, obvious to anyone.

And what about Yumin? He obediently nestled into Tae-jun’s broad chest. The moment Yumin’s slender, delicate body was completely enveloped by Tae-jun’s firm physique, the fans couldn’t hold back their screams.

Countless fancams, eyewitness accounts, and GIFs were produced. Fans generously shared the bait, distributing it not only domestically but also to Tae-jun x Yumin fans overseas without hesitation. A wave of hashtags like ‘#TaeJunYumin #JunMin #MaleTigerAndBabyTiger’ followed. According to one fan-pairing fan’s estimation, the number of hashtags pairing Tae-jun and Yumin increased by 1400% after the idol sports competition.

And that news, naturally, reached Yumin’s ears. While checking the reactions after the idol sports competition, Yumin’s eyes were caught by the hashtag, the beautiful four characters that placed his name alongside Tae-jun’s. Yumin, as if mesmerized, clicked on the hashtag and fell into the world of Tae-jun x Yumin.

No matter how many times he looked, the bait was endless. Yumin let out a strange laugh without realizing it and thoroughly enjoyed the Tae-jun x Yumin bait.

To be so passionately paired with Tae-jun, of all people. It was something to be incredibly grateful for. The only regret was the order of the names. After looking up basic knowledge about fan-pairings, he learned that the order of names was very important. Hearing that reversing the order created a completely different combination, the order Tae-jun x Yumin felt a bit bothersome.

Who was Go Yumin? He was a proud wildcat beastman and someone destined to one day take down Beom Tae-jun. He had joined Sixteigers with aspirations greater than anyone else, but the fans seemed to be misunderstanding.

“Hmm… I guess there’s no other way.”

Misunderstandings could be cleared up slowly. In the future, on broadcasts and during off-schedule activities, if Yumin actively showed himself making advances towards Tae-jun, the fans would realize, ‘Ah, we wrote the names in the wrong order,’ and correct themselves.

Yumin thought so as he saved every photo he saw. Especially photos of Tae-jun and Yumin taken side-by-side, even if they were similar, he saved tens, even hundreds, in a row. Sometimes there were photos cropped to just their faces, and he downloaded those too.

“Heh heh.”

After spending a couple of hours like that, his phone suddenly displayed a warning about low storage. But he didn’t want to delete anything carelessly. It seemed he would have to get a new phone with his next paycheck.

A few days passed. As they say, old habits die hard, or rather, learning something late makes it more intense. Yumin spent his entire day looking at materials related to Tae-jun x Yumin fan-pairings. Whether it was during a break from choreography practice in the practice room, while waiting for his turn during recording, or when going out for lunch with the members, Yumin’s phone was inseparable from his hand.

Each time, Yumin would look at his phone with a serious expression, then grin foolishly, then furrow his brow again, throwing a tantrum. When a member asked if something was wrong, he would just brush it off. Even if idols were open-minded about fan-pairings, if the involved parties were in the same group, it would be embarrassing if they found out. So, Yumin, trying to be careful, avoided Tae-jun while looking at his phone.

It was an absurd situation. The person involved was right in front of him, yet he was more obsessed with Tae-jun on his phone than in person. But Yumin was too engrossed to realize this fact.

Until one day, Tae-jun suddenly intervened.

That day, Yumin was busy collecting photos of the two of them side-by-side. So, he didn’t even notice Tae-jun, sitting right next to him, staring intently at his profile.

“Yumin-ah.”

“Uh, just a sec.”

“…Go Yumin.”

“Huh? Ah. Sorry.”

When Tae-jun called his full name in a low voice, Yumin finally looked up. And he met Tae-jun’s fierce gaze head-on.

“Were you calling me?”

“Yes. What are you doing that’s got you so lost in thought?”

“Ah, well…”

I was looking at a photoshopped picture of you and me. For some reason, you were half-naked, and I wasn’t wearing pants.

He couldn’t possibly say that, even if his life depended on it. While it was hypocritical to be embarrassed by a fake edited photo after being caught masturbating, Yumin still had a minimum of conscience and pride as a wildcat.

So, instead of answering, Yumin quickly turned off his phone screen. He was worried Tae-jun might see it and scold him.

However, Tae-jun’s reaction was not what Yumin expected.

“You’ve been acting strange lately. Staring at your phone all day.”

“Uh, well… I just have some things to look at.”

“Even now. What exactly are you doing?”

“No, I’m just… looking at the news… that sort of thing. Thinking about trying stocks.”

“Stocks?”

Tae-jun said, raising one eyebrow. Although he was spewing words as they came, it was widely known that Yumin had no interest in financial management or investment.

“You said you weren’t interested in that. That you didn’t know much about it.”

“Well… I heard US stocks are trending these days. Haha.”

“That doesn’t sound right.”

“It is.”

By now, Yumin was sweating cold sweat from his back. Tae-jun looked like he was about to bite Yumin to death. Feeling anxious and uneasy, Yumin looked around, but for some reason, no one was in the practice room except Tae-jun and himself.

Tae-jun stared at Yumin for a long time, then said casually,

“Tell me the truth.”

“W-what?”

Yumin’s heart began to pound wildly. He felt an ominous premonition, as he had when his identity was revealed in the idol sports competition waiting room not long ago. Something bad was about to happen.

“Who is it.”

“…Huh?”

“Kitty Girls, right?”

“…What are you talking about?”

“You kept staring at them during the music show last time.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

Tae-jun’s eyes were shining brightly. Yumin couldn’t understand the situation at all. Kitty Girls was a girl group composed of kitten beastmen. Due to their shared feline kinship, they exchanged casual greetings when they ran into each other. But Tae-jun’s words now made it sound as if Yumin was dating someone from Kitty Girls.

“Are you… suspecting me?”

“Yes or no? Answer with a single word.”

Tae-jun looked like he would devour Yumin if he tried to brush it off. Yumin involuntarily shuffled backward while still seated. Cold glass touched his back. Tae-jun lowered his body and growled, approaching Yumin. It was like a predator lowering its stance and threatening prey before attacking.

“W-what are you suddenly talking about?”

Yumin protested as if it were unfair, but Tae-jun didn’t seem to be listening. Tae-jun clicked his tongue and leaned sharply towards Yumin. Yumin involuntarily squeezed his eyes shut.

Side story Wildcat 5.

Yumin, trembling, looked less like a fierce wildcat and more like a fragile herbivore. His face was contorted as if he were moments away from having his breath choked out by a terrifying predator. In that instant, Tae-jun felt a deep ache in his chest. It was an unfamiliar sensation, but he recognized it with his beastly instincts. It was the satisfaction of the hunt, felt when a delicious prey appeared before one’s eyes. Perhaps Tae-jun’s distant ancestors felt that thrilling, perverse sensation every single day.

Tae-jun’s heart began to pound. Yumin looked scared, but the more he did, the more Tae-jun felt strangely excited. Tae-jun found himself moving closer to Yumin’s face without realizing it. Sensing his presence, Yumin opened his eyes and recoiled in shock. Tae-jun pressed forward, following Yumin until he backed into the practice room mirror, with no more space to escape.

“T-Tae-jun. What are you doing?”

“Hey, am I going to eat you or something? Relax your face.”

“…You’re being too scary, so I’m frightened…”

“Don’t change the subject and answer me. First, tell me if you’re messing around with Kitty Girls or not.”

“Absolutely not! I have no interest in Kitty Girls or Kitty Boys.”

Yumin shouted, waving his hands desperately to deny it. Seeing his frantic denial only deepened Tae-jun’s suspicion.

“Then why are you glued to your phone all day? If you’re not contacting someone, what are you doing?”

“Th-that’s something I can’t tell you.”

“Ha, look at this. You’re just saying you’re not, but you can’t provide any proof because you’re guilty.”

“I’m really not.”

“I won’t believe it until I see it with my own eyes. Give me your phone.”

“Ah, no! Absolutely not.”

“It’s an order as the leader. Keeping scandals with girl groups in check is my responsibility too.”

“No!”

Yumin cried out, but Tae-jun’s strength was too great. Tae-jun managed to snatch the phone from Yumin’s grasp. The screen was already on, allowing him to immediately discover Yumin’s suspicious activity. However, what Tae-jun saw was completely different from what he expected.

Yumin was looking at a page filled with dense text.

“Tae-jun… twisted Yumin’s nipple. Yumin arched his back like a bow with a nasal whine…? What is this.”

“I told you not to look!”

Tae-jun was dumbfounded. The content on the screen was some absurd and lewd writing. It was about Tae-jun pinning Yumin down, throwing him, and then passionately having his way with him.

“Why are you watching something like this?”

“…I wasn’t trying to watch it, it just happened by chance…”

Yumin lowered his head, his face flushing crimson with shame. The frustration of having his secret tastes exposed to Tae-jun was immense. Yumin couldn’t even meet Tae-jun’s eyes. Tears began to well up in his eyes.

“For something you saw by chance, you’ve scrolled down quite a bit. This is it, isn’t it? Writing erotic fanfiction by pairing members together.”

“…That’s right.”

“You have this kind of taste?”

“It’s not that I’m particularly interested, it’s just out of curiosity.”

“You were on your phone all night yesterday, weren’t you? Weren’t you looking at this then too?”

Yumin couldn’t answer properly. It was true that he had stayed up all night reading high-rated Tae-jun x Yumin fanfiction. If he couldn’t have the real Tae-jun, he had to at least roll around with him in fiction. For Yumin, fanfiction had become his only solace since being targeted by Tae-jun.

Yumin, determined to protect his hobby, decided to deny everything.

“Absolutely not. Why would I deliberately look for something like this? A novel where I have sex with Tae-jun, why would I read that?”

“…Wait a minute, Go Yumin. What did you just say?”

“I’ve only read it once or twice out of curiosity, and I’m not interested in fanfiction about me having sex with you. I don’t enjoy reading it.”

“Wait. You’re not interested in having sex with me?”

“Uh…? Why is the conversation going that way?”

Yumin was flustered. Tae-jun’s voice was clearly angry, but the direction was subtle. It wasn’t the tone of someone disgusted and serious, but rather like he was scolding him, implying, ‘What’s wrong with having sex with me?’

Yumin cautiously glanced at Tae-jun. Heat radiated from him as he leaned in close enough to feel Yumin’s breath. With one hand, he firmly gripped Yumin’s wrist, his gaze burning as he looked down at him. Anyone watching would think he was a male consumed by jealousy.

“In this novel, I’m having my way with you, and you don’t like that?”

“That’s… Tae-jun, what’s wrong?”

“It pisses me off that you say you don’t like it.”

“What?”

Tae-jun couldn’t understand himself. He vaguely knew that many fans paired Tae-jun and Yumin. He was aware of the trend of fabricated fanfiction, fan art, and edited videos portraying them as a couple. Although he hadn’t directly encountered them, he knew fans poured out countless fantasies about his and Yumin’s relationship.

If asked if it bothered him, the answer was absolutely not. If anything, it was closer to curiosity, like ‘I want to see what it’s like when Go Yumin and I have sex.’

If asked why, he had no proper excuse. He was just curious, and he figured it wouldn’t hurt to look. Go Yumin was quite pretty. He was curious about the feel of his soft skin, his slender body, and his black hair. Hadn’t his lower body grown heavy when he saw his bare body during the idol sports competition?

He had to admit it. Yumin was Tae-jun’s type.

“Tae-jun?”

“You promised you’d do everything I told you to, right?”

“Yeah?”

“On the day of the sports competition, when you were exposed as a wildcat cub, you promised. You promised to obey my commands.”

“Uh… right. You did.”

“Then do as I say from now on.”

“Uh?”

Yumin couldn’t grasp the situation. As Yumin blinked blankly, Tae-jun repeated himself.

“We’re going to do what’s in this novel. You’ll be quiet and follow along.”

“Wh-what?”

“You said you’d do anything. Listen to me before I spill that you’re a wildcat.”

“Tae-jun, mmmph…!”

His lips were instantly sealed. Tae-jun cupped Yumin’s head and pressed his lips down. Yumin struggled in surprise. Their lips met, hot and dry. A wild scent emanated from Tae-jun, and Yumin’s limbs went limp. The aura of a tiger, at the apex of the food chain, overwhelmed him.

“Mmm…”

“Breathe. We’re going to do more.”

Their lips repeatedly met and parted. Tongues delved into Yumin’s mouth. With wet sounds, Tae-jun thoroughly violated Yumin’s lips and tongue. He sucked, bit, and provocatively stimulated him. His mind dissolved into chaos. He felt on the verge of losing consciousness from the dizzying sensations.

Yumin eventually stopped resisting. His fists, which had been patting Tae-jun’s back, relaxed and embraced him. His back was broad and as hard as rock. His presence as a fully mature male was overwhelming. His firm abdomen rubbed against Yumin’s lower body. The kiss, which felt like he was about to be devoured, was already overwhelming, and now Tae-jun’s body pressing down on him made him want to faint from sheer arousal.

Yumin let out an involuntary moan of arousal. That sound only intensified Tae-jun’s kiss. When their lips parted for a moment, Yumin gasped for air. His head spun, and his vision blurred. Feeling as though he might collapse at any moment, Yumin clung tightly to Tae-jun to stay conscious.

“Haa, haa…”

“…Yumin.”

Tae-jun gently stroked Yumin’s face. But in contrast to the tender touch, Tae-jun’s eyes gleamed fiercely. His gaze was intense, as if he were about to devour Yumin right then and there.

A moment later, Yumin felt the world turn upside down. When he regained his senses, he was lying flat on his back on the floor, with Tae-jun on top of him.

“T-Tae-jun…”

“What, you don’t like it?”

“It’s not that…”

Yumin glanced towards the door. He had forgotten for a moment due to the kiss, but this was a practice room. It was a space where any member, manager, or staff could walk in at any time. As if sensing Yumin’s anxious thoughts, Tae-jun smiled and said,

“I locked the door.”

“…What?”

“Aren’t you paying attention?”

Tae-jun’s voice held an irresistible force. Yumin hesitated for a moment before obediently closing his eyes. After all, he had come this far, and Yumin had no intention of breaking the mood. He couldn’t miss an opportunity that might not come again.

“Ah, ah…”

“Yumin…”

Yumin was shaking violently on the bare floor. Tae-jun’s firm hips slammed against him between his spread legs countless times, then pulled away. Each time, Yumin could only moan breathlessly.

He had no idea how much time had passed. As soon as Tae-jun laid Yumin on the floor, he stripped him bare and licked and bit every inch of his body. When he bit down hard enough to draw a little blood, Yumin let out a scream mixed with arousal and pain. At that sound, Tae-jun’s eyes literally spun.

Even as he was being moved up and down, Yumin tilted his head slightly to look between his legs. He still couldn’t believe how large and thick Tae-jun’s penis was as it entered and exited his hole. He still couldn’t believe how such a large penis could fit into his narrow opening.

“Aren’t you paying attention?”

“Ah, wait a minute…”

Sensing that Yumin was lost in thought, Tae-jun’s thrusts became more intense. Yumin fumbled on the floor, but there was nothing to grab. Terrified that he might hit his head against the wall if left like this, Tae-jun reached out and cupped Yumin’s head. Then, he used his weight to pin Yumin’s body down, preventing him from moving. Thanks to this, Yumin could only lie there, legs spread wide, enduring Tae-jun’s vigorous fucking.

“T-Tae-jun…”

“Shh. Stay still.”

Where they touched felt like it was burning. The wet sounds that echoed with each thrust of Tae-jun’s penis made Yumin want to cover his ears out of embarrassment. The problem was, he had two ears. Not only his human ears, but his wildcat ears, which had protruded in excitement, were flushed red.

That wasn’t all. His stiff tail scraped against the floor, causing a stinging sensation. When Yumin involuntarily grimaced, Tae-jun paused his thrusts for a moment and then firmly gripped Yumin’s tail with his large hand.

“Ah!”

“This part is stiff too.”

Tae-jun said teasingly, stroking the tail. As he slid his hand up and down as if caressing a penis, Yumin couldn’t help but writhe. This caused his hole to clench tightly, pressing against Tae-jun’s penis.

“Ngh.”

“Haa, haa…”

Tae-jun involuntarily furrowed his brow. Yumin’s already narrow hole was pleasantly squeezing his penis, and with the added pressure, pleasure surged to the top of his head. Finally, Tae-jun couldn’t hold back and began to thrust vigorously again.

Yumin arched his head back, enduring the overwhelming pleasure that poured down on him. He could no longer feel anything in his lower body. Excessive pleasure numbed his mind and bound his limbs, rendering them immobile.

“Ah, ah!”

Finally, with a final cry, Yumin lost consciousness.

“Mmm…”

“Are you awake?”

“Where am I…”

“Here? Our room.”

Yumin struggled to lift his heavy eyelids. His entire body ached as if he’d been beaten, and his muscles felt stiff. His secret, unspeakable parts felt sore and hot.

For a moment, Yumin couldn’t grasp where he was. But when Tae-jun stuck out his tongue and licked his smooth cheek, Yumin suddenly came to his senses. Images flashed before his eyes, filled with flesh tones. Yumin, shamelessly clinging to Tae-jun; Tae-jun, crushing him beneath him; Yumin, gasping and moaning beneath him.

“Ugh!”

“What’s wrong?”

Yumin sat up abruptly. But it was short-lived; a sharp pain shot down his spine, and he collapsed back onto the bed.

“Don’t move carelessly. You need to rest more.”

“No way…”

“What?”

Yumin pulled the blanket over himself and kicked his legs. Tae-jun asked with a puzzled look, but Yumin didn’t have the courage to answer.

It wasn’t just the fact that he had sex with Tae-jun that was distressing him. Who was Go Yumin? He was a pure-blooded beastman from a proud wildcat family, a fierce predator who infiltrated SixTigers to dominate Beom Tae-jun.

Although he had never told anyone, Yumin harbored another ambition besides having sex with Tae-jun. It was to have a wildcat beastman child with Tae-jun. In other words, even if he had sex with Beom Tae-jun, Go Yumin was supposed to be on top.

But what was this? While he was dazed, Tae-jun had pinned him down and accepted his thick, hard penis.

That wasn’t the only problem. Yumin had also ended up carrying his semen inside him. Even though it was his first experience, Yumin knew. He knew the identity of the viscous fluid remaining in his hole. Tae-jun had clearly finished inside him while Yumin was unconscious.

Realizing this, Yumin’s face turned deathly pale. Yumin was fundamentally a male beastman, but under certain circumstances, he had the possibility of becoming pregnant. This was due to the unique characteristics of male beastmen, different from human males. If they carried semen stronger than their own, meaning semen from a more potent beastman, their physical structure would change, and they would develop a body capable of carrying offspring.

In other words, Yumin was in danger of carrying not a baby wildcat, but a baby tiger.

“Are you okay?”

Tae-jun asked, pulling the blanket down forcefully. Despite his concerned tone, Tae-jun wore a sly smile. And in that moment, Yumin instinctively realized. Tae-jun also knew this fact.

“I’m not okay!”

“Oh really? But what can we do? I already came.”

Tae-jun uttered the vulgar words casually with his handsome lips. Not only that, but he reached out and slowly stroked Yumin’s lower abdomen, then continued to caress Yumin’s bare buttocks.

“W-wait a minute!”

“I came a lot in here. You might get pregnant.”

Tae-jun said in a pleasant voice, tracing around Yumin’s hole with his finger. The stimulation added to the already heated and sensitive area caused Yumin to let out an involuntary moan.

“Ah!”

“Still, just in case, shall we do it again? What do you think?”

His mind screamed no, but the words wouldn’t come out. All Yumin could do was helplessly accept Tae-jun’s touch and pant.

By now, Tae-jun was on top of Yumin. Looking directly into Yumin’s eyes, Tae-jun slowly took off his shirt and then descended without hesitation. He licked Yumin’s lips and inserted his tongue.

“Hng…”

“Good boy.”

The blanket had long been tossed aside. Tae-jun aligned his erect penis with Yumin’s hole and slowly pushed it in. Yumin let out a faint moan in his hoarse voice. Despite having experienced it once already, Tae-jun’s penis was still overwhelming for Yumin.

Once inserted, Tae-jun began to thrust vigorously. The semen already pooled inside Yumin’s hole flowed down his butt crack. Yumin writhed at the unsettling sensation. But Tae-jun showed no mercy. In the end, Yumin cried uncontrollably, his eyes welling up from the unbearable pleasure.

After ejaculating three times in a row, Tae-jun finally seemed satisfied and released Yumin. Yumin groaned involuntarily, uncomfortable with the feeling of his belly full of semen. Tae-jun then pulled Yumin into a tight embrace and whispered in his ear,

“Give me a baby tiger.”

“…What?”

“If you don’t answer, I’ll do it again?”

“Alright, alright!”

Yumin exclaimed in resignation. Tae-jun smiled and lightly kissed Yumin’s lips.
