After eating well and resting deeply over the weekend, the body aches vanished and his condition improved, but Cha Se-jin did not touch Eun-won too deeply. Since it was impossible not to touch him at all, he did things similar to sex, such as kissing or touching his nipples, but he did not engage in penetration. This was because he knew all too well how much that would drive Eun-won to the edge.
Before the wedding, he had to avoid causing any accidents, and since he was marrying a young boy, he felt he needed a sort of “self-disinfection period” for his own filthiness. He had managed to endure a fairly long period of abstinence, allowing himself only masturbation, but now it was harder to hold back than it had been then.
Back then, before he had sex with Eun-won, he had only vague imaginations of how good it would be; now, he had already tasted a pleasure so intense it felt like his brain was melting. Knowing exactly how good it felt made resisting difficult, but he intended to hold back for a while to bring Eun-won’s body back to a state better than normal.
“Do you have plans Thursday evening?”
“Thursday? Um… no.”
“A friend’s company is having a founding anniversary event that day. I think we should go together. Would that be okay?”
“Ah… me too? Is it a place I’m allowed to go?”
“Of course you are. I thought it would be good for you to introduce yourself to my friends and show your face. Since we’re married, we’ll be attending events and parties like this together from now on. It might be uncomfortable since it’s your first time, but tell me if you feel uneasy. I’ll crush whatever’s making you uncomfortable.”
Looking at the smiling Cha Se-jin, Eun-won nodded silently. Eun-won liked this side of Cha Se-jin. He loved that bold confidence—not telling him to endure discomfort, but promising to eliminate it. He felt that if he stayed with Cha Se-jin, he too might one day become a person who could be confident in everything without shrinking away.
“Let’s go buy clothes to wear that day. Since it’s our first time going out together, um, I think it would be good to make it obvious that we’re married. How’s your condition? Can you go out? Or should I just have them come to the house tomorrow?”
“I can go. I’ve been stuck at home since Friday, so I want to go out.”
“It is a bit stifling. Let’s go. We’ll buy clothes and have dinner.”
Nodding, Eun-won quickly finished getting ready to leave. Perhaps because he had spent two days doing nothing but eating and sleeping, the suggestion to go out was welcome.
The place they arrived at after about thirty minutes was somewhere he had been before. Recalling when the Madam had brought him here to buy clothes, Eun-won let out a small sigh. Whenever he encountered things related to his father or the Madam, his chest felt tight.
As they stepped out of the car, two employees who looked high-ranking, waiting at the entrance, approached and bowed.
“Good day, Executive Director. It has been a long time since your last visit.”
“It has. It’s been a while since I’ve visited the store in person. Branch Manager, have you been well?”
“I have always been well thanks to you, Executive Director. Ah, I heard that you got married. Congratulations on your marriage, Executive Director.”
“Thank you. That’s why I brought him with me today. Please take good care of him even if he comes here without me in the future.”
At Cha Se-jin’s words, the branch manager turned toward Eun-won and bowed again with courtesy. Eun-won also silently bowed his head.
“It is an honor to meet you. I am Kim Yeon-ju, the branch manager of The Aster.”
“Hello, I am Seo Eun-won.”
After exchanging polite greetings, they followed the branch manager’s guidance into the VVIP room, used exclusively by the owner’s family of the Sewon Group. As the door opened, four waiting employees greeted them quietly and continued to provide smooth, natural service.
“There’s a party on Thursday. Normally, it’s the kind of event I wouldn’t need to worry about, but since it’s the first official event we’re attending together after marriage, I’m a bit concerned this time. I want to make it obvious we’re married, and I want to show that we’re doing very well, contrary to what people there might expect.”
At Cha Se-jin’s words, Kim Yeon-ju, the branch manager and Cha Se-jin’s long-time personal shopper, smiled and gave a small nod.
“I will keep those points in mind while preparing. While we prepare, I will first bring out some refreshments. We have coffee, tea, fresh fruit juice, and ade. Please choose from the menu.”
Without even looking, Cha Se-jin ordered a flat white and handed the menu to Eun-won. Ignoring the coffee section, Eun-won looked at the fresh fruit juices and hesitated between green grape and strawberry-banana before choosing green grape. Then, Cha Se-jin ordered three drinks, including the strawberry-banana.
“…How did you know?”
“You looked like you were debating, so I just took a guess. Was that what you were deciding between?”
“Yes, I was debating it to myself, so I was surprised you ordered that too.”
“You were surprised?”
Seeing Eun-won nod obediently made the area between Cha Se-jin’s legs tingle again. He wanted to sit him on his lap and touch him all over to make him blush. He had a twisted, mischievous urge to make him cry from being so embarrassed and flustered.
Normally, he would have just thought about forcing his legs open and drilling into him, but when he got an erection while looking at Eun-won, he often felt this desire to touch him in addition to that. It wasn’t as if touching Eun-won made his cock “happy” in a conventional sense, but strangely, the impulse surged in that direction.
“…….”
His gaze naturally drifted to Eun-won’s closed lips. He wanted to use his tongue to pry them open and go inside. It wasn’t even that he wanted sex; he had to endure even the simple desire to suck on a tongue. Exhaling in frustration, Cha Se-jin listened to the footsteps of the employees who visited occasionally while waiting for the right moment.
Before long, the ordered drinks and a five-tier tray of desserts were placed on the table. He heard Eun-won let out a small sound of admiration at the sight of the fruit and finger foods, neatly prepared for a single bite. That ticklish sound, touching his ear before vanishing, made him smile.
Coffee didn’t even enter his field of vision. All he saw was Eun-won lifting the cup of strawberry-banana juice and sipping it through a thick, transparent straw. The lips moving slightly while holding the straw, the not-so-prominent Adam’s apple trembling slightly every time the juice went down. Everything was cute yet stimulating.
“Is it tasty?”
“Yes. It’s really delicious.”
This time, Eun-won took a sip of the green grape juice and held out the long glass toward Cha Se-jin as if inviting him to try. Without even knowing what he was drinking, Cha Se-jin put his lips to the end of the straw Eun-won had used.
Honestly, he felt like he could cum twice just by rolling the end of that straw with his tongue, but pretending to be a normal person, Cha Se-jin swallowed the tart juice and smiled.
…Fuck, fuck, seriously fucking crazy.
Eun-won, smiling back after seeing him smile, naturally put the straw he had just touched back between his own lips. Cha Se-jin silently cursed repeatedly, unable to take his eyes off the visually overstimulating scene. He felt like he was going crazy wanting to bite Eun-won’s tongue instead of the straw.
“The suits are ready, Executive Director. May I make some recommendations?”
“Ah, yes.”
Barely tearing his gaze away from Eun-won, Cha Se-jin looked at the suit hangers in front of him. Perhaps because his head was filled with nothing but thoughts of kissing, there was no life in his eyes as he looked at the suits.
“As you requested, I’ve picked a ‘similar look’ combination that gives a sense of bond as a couple. They are suits from the same line, but there are differences in the details. The biggest difference is the fabric.”
While listening to the explanation of the fabric, Cha Se-jin looked back and forth between the dark navy suit and the blue-gray suit hanging side by side. He liked that the one he would wear was a deeper color, while the one Eun-won would wear was a softer shade. He also liked that it looked like they had put effort into matching.
“For the Executive Director, I’ve matched a dark navy three-piece with bold lines, and for Mr. Eun-won, I’ve matched a blue-gray color that carries that tone softly while giving a noble feeling.”
“How about it? I like it.”
Scanning the suits once more, Cha Se-jin asked Eun-won. Eun-won, who had been listening and watching quietly, met his eyes and nodded.
“I… don’t really know, but it looks cool. I think the two outfits go well together.”
“I only know that much too. All that matters is whether they look good together or not. Um, shall we try them on? I want to see you wearing it.”
“Yes…”
As Cha Se-jin nodded, an employee quickly approached and guided Eun-won to the fitting room. Only then did Cha Se-jin, crossing his long legs, lift his glass and take a sip of coffee.
“Would you like to try fitting as well, Executive Director?”
“After he comes out.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Answering while keeping his gaze fixed on the fitting room, Cha Se-jin soon took in the sight of Eun-won approaching with an employee.
“…….”
Is this for real? Is he insane?
Cha Se-jin stared at Eun-won, forgetting to even put down his coffee cup. Perhaps because the suit color was muted, Eun-won’s white skin looked even clearer. His face was so radiant that Cha Se-jin had the absurd thought that someone was following him with a spotlight.
Following Eun-won’s movement by turning his head, Cha Se-jin maintained his persistent gaze until Eun-won stood before him. Only then did he put down the glass and stand up to approach.
“…Do you like it, Executive Director?”
“Yes. How could I not? You’re so beautiful.”
Lowering his gaze from the face he had been entranced by, Cha Se-jin examined the suit that blended with Eun-won as if they were one. Unlike the firmly set shoulder line, the waistline that fell smoothly downward suited Eun-won’s body perfectly. The color, neither too bright nor too dark, was also a perfect match. He was so beautiful that Cha Se-jin was confused whether he had come to buy clothes or to appreciate a piece of art in a gallery.
“I was worried it wouldn’t suit me… I’m glad.”
To think that someone with a face like that worried about clothes not suiting him. Though it would never happen, even if he grabbed a random homeless person on the street, stripped them, and put the clothes on Eun-won, he would undoubtedly be beautiful. If he posted it on social media, the “homeless look” would become a trend and sweep the nation. Eun-won needed to be much more objective than he was now.
“Aren’t you going to try yours on, Executive Director?”
“Well, I pretty much know how it’ll fit without trying… but should I just try it?”
“Yes…”
Smiling at how cute Eun-won looked while nodding more vigorously than usual, Cha Se-jin signaled the branch manager and headed toward the fitting room, then turned back to Eun-won as if remembering something.
“Ah, Darling, could you help me get dressed?”
