And so, he put a sort of non-tailing tail on Min-ho. He chose the youngest guy, who was strictly disciplined and had no connection to Min-ho.
[The Youngest: He seems to be working overtime. He has moved from the restaurant to the company]
All he did was recite Min-ho’s movements. Since Min-ho only went back and forth to the company, it wasn’t difficult. Perhaps feeling awkward about it, the youngest added reports he wasn’t even asked for.
[The Youngest: Secretary 3, beef pot rice]
It meant he went to a restaurant with three secretaries and ate beef pot rice.
“I’m telling you, the mushroom pot rice at this place is tastier.”
Gyu-oh muttered, reading the letters on the screen several times as if chewing over them. Seriously, he’s such a clueless person when it’s not about work.
[OK]
The answer was lukewarm for someone who had provided additional information. He only replied because the menu had been mentioned.
“Sigh.”
He stepped into the elevator that had just arrived. Even though it was his own home he had been faithfully visiting for days, it felt strange, as if he were visiting someone else’s house. Staring at the rising numbers, he hitched up the bag slung over his shoulder. Even though he had squeezed in two hours of intense sparring, his scattered mind wouldn’t easily settle.
“But if I go into the company now, what time is he planning to leave work?”
Didn’t he say he left after midnight yesterday? As the floor number rose, the sound of his sneakers tapping the floor grew louder.
It had already been a few days since he stopped visiting Min-ho’s office and home. Of course, he received reports on every move and spoke on the phone if something important happened, but they didn’t face each other. Whenever he heard stories of Min-ho acting as if he were overworking himself, he wanted to interfere immediately.
Make him take a nap, clear away all the alcohol, stay by his side until he falls asleep……
“I’ve developed a strange habit.”
That was a statement addressed to both himself and Min-ho. One was trying to find rest in a strange way, and the other was taking care of him more than necessary. Of course, strictly speaking, Hyung was a bit more of a problem. Wouldn’t it be better to exercise or go for a drive? Why on earth did he wake up to the act of rolling around with a bum…… Moreover, he doesn’t even seem to be picky about the partner.
A strange anxiety rose from his toes again. Ding, although the elevator opened wide, Gyu-oh stood still in that spot. He spaced out for a long time until his bitten lower lip stung.
“…….”
He hurriedly reached out between the sliding doors. Clunk, the door rattled and opened again slowly.
Right, I need a brake like this too. I have to go back to where I belong. Isn’t it better to stomp out the sprouts before strange feelings grow? He stepped through the wide-open door without hesitation.
He entered the strangely awkward house, washed up, and lay down quickly. It was because he thought it would be better to close his eyes for an hour or two before heading out in the early morning. Normally, he would have used this time to pester Min-ho. For the time being, he needed to grit his teeth and pull himself together.
Swoosh, he turned on the Rain-Sound Mixed Musical Piece and turned off all the lights in the house. He drew all the curtains so that not a single speck of light could leak in and covered himself with the blanket. The calm melody penetrated the darkness. He felt his highly strung nerves gradually loosen. This really is effective. It’s a song that could even put to sleep a Hyung who lived drenched in fatigue yet couldn’t sleep properly.
“Ah, thinking about Cha Min-ho again. Stop it and just go to sleep.”
His thoughts kept flowing to one place. Gyu-oh slapped his cheeks with his palms and squeezed his eyes shut. If he did this, he would eventually fall asleep. As he stubbornly kept his eyes closed, drowsiness really began to wash over him. In a moment he didn’t perceive, he was sucked into a shallow sleep.
“Are you sleeping?”
At the sudden voice piercing his ear, Gyu-oh’s eyes snapped open. He yanked away the blanket that had been pulled over his head and sprang up.
“Wha-what?”
The face he had expected appeared right before his eyes. He froze for a moment, the distance so close he could feel the other’s breath. When he lowered his wide-open eyes to avoid eye contact, a pair of thin, red lips entered his field of vision. From that moment on, Gyu-oh held his breath.
“Since I hadn’t heard from you.”
Unlike Gyu-oh, who was flustered and fumbling, Min-ho was calm. His expression and voice suggested that being this close was no problem at all.
“Ah, ah.”
Letting out an awkward laugh, Gyu-oh shifted his body and quickly tapped his phone screen. Usually, he received report texts whenever Min-ho moved, but there had been no contact now. Did this baldie get complacent and get distracted just because I replied a few times? He clicked his tongue softly, narrowing his eyes invisibly.
If I knew Hyung was coming all the way here, I wouldn’t have come home. I should have just gone for a few more sparring rounds. All that effort to stay out was for nothing.
“Why are you avoiding me?”
A low voice echoed behind Gyu-oh, who was half-lying down. The faint murmur, which somehow sounded tinged with disappointment, swept away the last remnants of his drowsiness.
“Avoiding you? Why would I avoid Hyung?”
If anything, you’re the one who avoided me. You didn’t even make eye contact first, and you avoided the seat. He felt wronged, but looking at Hyung’s face as he kept his eyes cast down, Gyu-oh couldn’t bring himself to argue. And why was his posture, perched on the edge of the bed, so demure? Swallowing dry saliva and rolling his eyes to find somewhere to look, something suddenly flashed through Gyu-oh’s mind.
“But Hyung, how did you get in here?”
“…….”
Min-ho lifted his head silently without answering. The face he saw properly for the first time in a while was extremely gaunt. His lower lip looked like it had burst, with a slight seep of blood, and his eyes were bloodshot. Because of that, the corners of his eyes were exceptionally red, and the contours of his eyelids were particularly deep. He was almost mesmerized by the eyes staring at him with a slight smile, but he quickly shook his head.
“Did I ever give you the password?”
No, even if he had, this was a man who wouldn’t bother remembering someone else’s house password. Moreover, he had never once barged in without warning. That was something only Gyu-oh would do.
“Is there anything about you I don’t know?”
Gyu-oh narrowed his eyes at the answer laced with a low laugh. Min-ho’s vibe was strange today. The sharp edge he usually displayed was nowhere to be found, and for some reason, every glance and every touch felt erotic.
“…….”
Erotic? Am I thinking that Min-ho Hyung is erotic again? He wanted to hit himself in the head, but he couldn’t even twitch a finger, as if he were experiencing sleep paralysis.
Meanwhile, Min-ho raised his body with slow movements. Then, he climbed onto the bed. To be precise, he climbed on top of Gyu-oh’s lower body, which was half-covered by the blanket. The moment the heavy weight settled on him, every sensation in his body leaped wildly.
“Why, wh-what are you doing?”
His words kept getting tangled in his panic. He reached out and pushed hard against the bent knees, but Min-ho didn’t budge. To make matters worse, his hand slipped, and the touch that was pushing the knees slid down to the thighs. Because he immediately lost his strength, he ended up with his hand resting awkwardly and quietly on the thigh.
“You keep making me curious about you.”
“…….”
Was it that obvious? But Hyung was the one who showed it first. Contrary to his desire to answer that, he could only bite his lower lip and remain silent.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
The question, laced with laughter, scattered low. Hyung’s voice had always been on the lower side, but perhaps because he was tired, it felt a bit rougher today.
“……Wait, wait. Hyung. Let’s talk calmly.”
“I am calm.”
“Right. That’s why I want to be calm. Get off, okay?”
The end of his sentence rose urgently. Even if he wanted to pretend to be composed, he wasn’t in a position to do so because of the pressure of the buttocks pressing firmly against his lower body. Are humans naturally this weak to stimulation? He had prided himself on knowing how to exercise restraint, but it seemed that had been premature arrogance.
Min-ho curled the corners of his mouth upward silently.
“……Why. Why are you smiling so ominously?”
Goosebumps rose at that smile. Suddenly, his heart began to race to a terrifying degree. The days he had spent agonizing over his feelings flashed quickly through his mind. He had whipped and persuaded himself to barely pull it together. To think he would collapse helplessly in a single surprise attack from Cha Min-ho.
If he stayed like this, something serious was bound to happen. The moment Gyu-oh squeezed his eyes shut to push himself up, Min-ho, perched on top, slowly swayed his body.
“Ah, are you crazy? Stay still!”
“…….”
“This Hyung, seriously……”
Moving leisurely back and forth, he applied pressure to the area where the blood had rushed. Due to the heavy weight, Gyu-oh’s lower half kept receiving stimulation regardless of his will. The hand that tried to urgently push him down was helplessly caught in Min-ho’s grip. It was a warm and soft sensation, but the strength gripping the back of his hand was immense.
“Fuck.”
Why is he doing this all of a sudden? When did he decide to stop contacting me and keep his distance? He told me to forget about the part where he said not to touch him unless I was going to sleep with him. Then why the hell is he doing this now, making things difficult? The air turned hot in an instant. He felt as if not only his face but his entire body was flushed bright red. Even in this state, he found himself calculating that in this position, Hyung would be the one on the bottom.
“Ah, stop it…… please, just stay still.”
The sensation of the buttocks pressing firmly against his lower half, which was gradually hardening, was vivid. He was clearly wearing pants and covered by a blanket, so why was the sensation so clear? No, no. The line he had desperately drawn for a while was gradually blurring.
“Ah……”
Did he even know that Gyu-oh wanted to cry? Min-ho swayed his body faster and faster. He tilted his head back, gently closed his eyes, and let out a shallow moan. A tingling sensation flowed through his lower abdomen and down to the back of his knees. He tried to hold onto his reason while clenching his teeth hard, but it wasn’t easy to endure.
We shouldn’t do this…… but why shouldn’t we? Because I’ve never dated a man? Hyung has, right. Isn’t it enough if just one of us has? His stream of consciousness began to be swept away by excitement.
