“D-don’t, please.”
Ho-eun, who had covered his mouth with one hand, stared at Tae-muk as if he were a monster. The corners of Tae-muk’s lips twisted at the sight. Ho-eun, trembling at just having his tongue pressed, seemed pathetic and, at the same time, irritating. He wanted to break him.
“Take it off and come in when I tell you to.”
“But…”
“Haven’t you learned yet that nothing changes even if you say you don’t want to?”
With those words, Tae-muk took off his Yui as if to end the conversation. Then, he shook off the rest of his clothes and headed to the bath in his complete nakedness. He scooped up a large amount of water with a nearby dipper, poured it over himself, and entered the bath. The water overflowed with a chwaaaa sound from his massive frame, soaking the ground.
“……”
Ho-eun quietly watched Tae-muk’s back. There were long marks on his back, perhaps from the claws of a Devouring Ghoul, where he leaned against the bath. Blood flowed like tears from the torn flesh where the water touched, but he didn’t even let out a small groan.
“……”
Seeing that, Ho-eun couldn’t refuse him any longer.
That’s right. What was the reason I came all the way here? Wasn’t it because I wanted him to hurt less, because I wanted to help him as his Bondmate? Yet, to back away at this moment would be to deny my own usefulness.
Having made a decision, Ho-eun took a deep breath. Then, he turned around and began to clumsily take off his clothes.
The wet clothes kept sticking to his body, making it difficult to remove them, but he still took off his Dapho, Dopo, and Jeogori one by one. When only his Sokjeogori remained, Ho-eun paused.
“……”
Do I… really have to take everything off? Without a single thread? Tae-muk is already naked, but do I have to go that far? Right. It’s not like I can only be useful as his Bondmate if I take everything off.
Ho-eun tried to find a reason to keep the Sokjeogori on. The candles and oil lamps densely placed all around were too bright. After a moment of hesitation, Ho-eun decided not to take off the Sokjeogori after all.
Even though it was already soaked and see-through, he felt more comfortable having something on.
Ho-eun, who had neatly folded the clothes he had taken off one by one, finally looked at Tae-muk.
“I’m… going in.”
“……”
Tae-muk didn’t answer. Ho-eun swallowed hard and cautiously approached the bath. Then, grabbing the edge of the bath, he awkwardly put one foot into the water. As his cold, frozen foot touched the hot water, he felt a tingling, stinging sensation.
Ho-eun groaned and put his other foot into the bath. Then, he carefully sat down next to Tae-muk. Because of his gaunt body, the water didn’t overflow at all.
“……”
Ho-eun stared straight ahead with wide eyes. He held his breath. But all his nerves were focused on Tae-muk.
“……”
Tae-muk didn’t say or do anything.
Silence fell. The only sounds were the rain hitting the roof, the sound of water dripping from somewhere, and Tae-muk’s breathing.
Ho-eun unconsciously breathed in and out, following that breathing. Then, Tae-muk raised one arm and placed it on the edge of the bath. The water swayed with the movement, swirling around Ho-eun’s body.
Ho-eun stiffened, craning his neck. It was just the water, but it felt like Tae-muk’s skin.
“I-is it… too cramped? I-I’ll move a little.”
Ho-eun, who had been chattering on his own, crawled to the other side of the bath. In his crouching position, his buttocks were clearly exposed to Tae-muk’s view. The Sokjeogori, which came down to his thighs, covered his buttocks, but because it was wet, his white flesh was completely visible. The buttocks, wrapped in a transparent and thin cloth, were even more vivid.
But Ho-eun, who only had escape on his mind, didn’t realize it at all.
“……”
At the sight, one corner of Tae-muk’s lips twitched up and then down. Ho-eun, who had been raised preciously, was sometimes dull, and that’s when he was sexy. He didn’t refuse to look at the white buttocks that looked like a full moon and admired them to his heart’s content.
Ho-eun, who was slow to crawl, finally reached the other side of the bath after a long time. He sat with his back against the bath wall. And he inadvertently raised his head.
“……”
“……”
His eyes met Tae-muk’s. It was a bonus that his bulging naked body was clearly visible. Ho-eun sighed faintly, “Ah…” The round shape of the bath was truly awkward. If they moved apart, they had to look at each other. If they didn’t want to look at each other, they had to get closer. Ho-eun, embarrassed, washed his face for no reason.
“……”
Somehow, Tae-muk’s gaze was persistent. Ho-eun glanced at him. But Tae-muk’s eyes were not on his face but on his chest. Involuntarily following his gaze, he saw that his chest was clearly visible under the soaked Sokjeogori. His nipples, subtly reddened from the cold, were standing erect.
“Ugh…”
Ho-eun let out a strange exclamation and covered his chest.
“D-don’t look.”
At those words, Tae-muk scoffed.
“Don’t look, don’t come, don’t touch.”
“……”
“What am I supposed to do?”
“……”
At those words, Ho-eun’s mouth slowly closed. He keeps forgetting. That following him to Ramjae Town, that entering the bath, was for Tae-muk’s sake. When he came to his senses, he was this far away from him again.
But… how can I dare to approach?
What can I do about being embarrassed and scared?
Ho-eun sighed softly. Tae-muk swept his wet hair back with his hand. His deep eyes and manly, handsome forehead were clearly revealed.
“I’m holding back for you.”
“……Yes?”
“Because I don’t want to see you freaking out.”
“……”
Ho-eun unconsciously frowned. Holding back. What has he been holding back – he thought, and then recalled what had happened between him and Tae-muk.
There was a time when his hair was grabbed by that large hand and he was forced to hold his manhood in his mouth. His throat was pierced until the corners of his mouth burst. There was also a time when he was pinned under him and his legs were spread haphazardly. He couldn’t escape his embrace even though he cried until his eyes were bloodshot.
On the other hand, now, although he might be a little cold, he didn’t grab or crush him arbitrarily. Didn’t he take off his clothes with his own hands today? Before, he would have been grabbed by the hair and thrown into the bath. And by now, he would have received his semen in his mouth at least twice.
Yes, the current Tae-muk was definitely holding back for him.
But the reason is just because he doesn’t want to see me refuse?
……Why doesn’t he want to see that?
Why does he suddenly not want to see it now, when he didn’t care until now?
Ho-eun, who had been lost in thought for a moment, tilted his head. Tae-muk sighed, as if exhaling cigarette smoke.
“It would be easier for you to do what you need to do before I go crazy and flip out and pin you down.”
“……”
At those words, Ho-eun’s pupils dilated. It was out of fear. He had already seen Tae-muk ‘flipped out’ once. At that time, he couldn’t communicate and couldn’t stop him.
Thinking about it, he was right. Relieving his pain before he reached an extreme state was a better option for him as well.
Ho-eun took his hand off his chest. And he looked at Tae-muk and asked.
“What… would you like me to do?”
“……”
“I… I don’t know what kind of act would be helpful to you, General…”
Ho-eun, who had been rambling, lowered his eyes. It was hard to meet Tae-muk’s gaze. It felt like his black eyes were piercing through him. Even though he was soaking in hot water, goosebumps rose on his neck.
Then, Tae-muk scoffed.
“What do you mean you don’t know? You’ve done everything.”
“……”
Instantly, Ho-eun’s ears flared up. The acts he had done with Tae-muk flashed before his eyes. Kissing, holding his manhood in his mouth, ejaculating in his hand, spreading his legs under him, receiving him from behind…
Yes, he knows. But he couldn’t know what Tae-muk wanted now. At least he didn’t want to receive him from behind. That was… scary. But if he wanted it, he would have to do it. He wouldn’t have a choice.
Ho-eun, who had bitten his lower lip, lowered his gaze.
“Come here.”
Tae-muk beckoned with his hand.
“……”
Ho-eun hesitated for a moment, then approached him on his knees. Then, the water clung to his body as if telling him not to go. The resistance was so strong that Ho-eun involuntarily paused. Tae-muk grabbed Ho-eun’s arm and pulled him towards him.
“Ah…”
With the violent force, the water surged roughly, and Ho-eun landed on Tae-muk’s thighs in the blink of an eye. His Braided Hair floated slowly on the water like a snake, then sank into the water.
“……”
Ho-eun subtly raised his shoulders. He also pulled his chin in. It was because he could feel Tae-muk’s thing, his manhood, under his buttocks. The hard and hot thing was already half-erect.
As expected, Tae-muk seemed to want that act.
What to do. How to endure it. Can I endure it?
Ho-eun, who had lowered his head, chewed on his lower lip. He looked like a child waiting to be punished.
But.
“……”
Tae-muk didn’t do anything. He just stared at Ho-eun, who was cowering in fear.
