By Zephyria “M-Me, go in……?”
“Yes. Ah, do you not know what I mean? Hmm… Like I’m not even worth looking at after one time having sex.”
“I, I’ve… never done that……”
“After the Heat cycle ended, you pretended to be fine in front of me, but you didn’t want to meet. I told you so much that I missed you.”
“Ah…….”
Ryu Jeong lowered his gaze as if avoiding eye contact with Lee Do-hyeon. So that’s how he interpreted it. Once he understood the meaning, he felt like he was being too shameless. He was just sorry to show his face, but he didn’t know Lee Do-hyeon would feel that way. He felt depressed, as if he had made Lee Do-hyeon uncomfortable and hurt just to make himself feel better.
“I’m sorry…….”
“Are you sorry to me?”
“Yes…….”
Ryu Jeong’s head drooped endlessly. Lee Do-hyeon lightly touched the protruding bones, as if playing piano keys, and then brought his lips to them. The skin, not yet wet, was parched, but red marks were dotted like flower patterns. As if he couldn’t bear the overflowing emotions and pleasure during sex, Lee Do-hyeon opened his mouth and bit into the soft skin.
“Huff…….”
Ryu Jeong, who had been tense since he felt the breath along with the soft sensation, was startled by the stinging pain and straightened his back. His lower body, including his back, ached, but that wasn’t the problem now. Ryu Jeong unknowingly turned around. Lee Do-hyeon, with his lips still in the air from chewing, straightened his posture with an indifferent face.
“N-Now…….”
He wanted to ask if he had just bitten him, but he was speechless at the casual tilt of his head. Is he really not fully awake? As he rolled his eyes in confusion, Lee Do-hyeon, who was watching him, grinned and slowly rubbed the spot where he had buried his face until just now with his thumb.
“Did it hurt?”
“N-Not that it hurt, I was just a little surprised…….”
“Just, it smelled good.”
Lee Do-hyeon, who muttered a short excuse, smiled contentedly. The bite marks he had just left were clear on top of the marks he had left last night. He not only left marks but also added a layer of his pheromone on top. It wasn’t like he had deliberately showered in pheromones like during the Heat cycle, but rather he had only lightly applied it so that it wouldn’t be noticeable, so Ryu Jeong didn’t seem to notice.
Ryu Jeong smiled awkwardly at Lee Do-hyeon’s words, which seemed to refer to pheromones. The pain had already evaporated and disappeared. Ryu Jeong, who slightly covered his neck with his palm, straightened his posture and awkwardly glanced at Lee Do-hyeon.
“If you’re sorry to me, you can grant me one wish.”
“What is it……? I’ll grant it.”
“How can you say you’ll do it without knowing what I’m going to say? Even if you’re the one granting the wish, you should carefully listen to the details before deciding.”
Ryu Jeong pursed his lips, feeling guilty at the scolding as if he was about to do something terrible. There had been more than one or two times when he had been in trouble for signing without reading properly when he was wandering around looking for a job without knowing the ways of the world. It was the same with the convenience store night shift he was enduring now, just because it was close to home and didn’t require any specific education or experience. He was always the one in need, so he couldn’t say a word against the Shop Owner’s illegal behavior.
Lee Do-hyeon, who had been quietly looking at Ryu Jeong, who was as subdued as a scolded child, put his hands under his armpits and lifted him up effortlessly. The water that had been up to his chest sloshed as if it would spill out of the tub due to the sudden movement.
“President……?”
The view changed in an instant. Ryu Jeong, surprised, unknowingly put his hands on Lee Do-hyeon’s shoulders. It felt awkward to look down at the person he always had to look up to. He was too embarrassed to put any weight on his hands, not knowing where to look, and rolled his eyes around, but he was startled by Lee Do-hyeon’s next words and quickly looked up at him.
“Live here.”
“Yes?”
“You said you’d grant me a wish. My wish is for Jeong to live in my house.”
“…….”
“It’s not a lie that I like Jeong. I’ve been concerned about Jeong for a while. I told you, it’s not pity either. I haven’t lived my life so foolishly that I would confuse it with such feelings, and above all, I’ve never regretted my feelings and decisions in my life. So…….”
Lee Do-hyeon trailed off and avoided eye contact first. Then, as if to engrave Ryu Jeong’s face in his eyes, he took in every detail of his appearance.
“So live here. As my lover.”
“Lover……?”
“Yes.”
Ryu Jeong took a deep breath at the unwavering answer. Rather, it was him, not Lee Do-hyeon, who was hesitating.
Is it okay to do this? Am I causing trouble? What if he regrets it later? What if his feelings change because it’s just a fleeting emotion……?
Perhaps because he had never owned anything before, he was worried about whether it was okay to do this. He hated being abandoned more than anything. Nevertheless, his heart kept leaning towards Lee Do-hyeon. With him… it felt like it would be okay even if he was abandoned in the future.
After a moment of contemplation, Ryu Jeong raised his eyes with determination. He decided to think about the future later. What he needed now was Lee Do-hyeon’s heart more than anything else.
“Is this… a, a confession?”
Ryu Jeong’s face was flushed as he asked that. It was partly because he was soaking in warm water filled with steam, but his face, which was tense and pretending to be nonchalant, was cute. Lee Do-hyeon cupped Ryu Jeong’s cheeks and gently caressed his soft skin. The fact that whether a smile would be etched on this pretty face or tears would flow down depending on what answer he gave made him feel good enough to send shivers down his spine.
His crying face was pretty too, but he still wanted Ryu Jeong to just smile at him. Ah, he’s so cute. Lee Do-hyeon nodded, recalling the feeling that came to mind once again.
“I told you I like you.”
“…….”
“I like you. Jeong.”
Ryu Jeong’s clear eyes trembled at the answer that contained not a single lie.
“You still don’t believe me even after this?”
“A-Aniyo, I believe you.”
“I said this yesterday too, but I’m horny because I like Jeong.”
Ryu Jeong, who blinked innocently, not knowing what he meant, soon understood what he was saying. It was because Lee Do-hyeon’s lower body, which he was sitting on, had been hard for who knows how long. Ryu Jeong, flustered, unknowingly tried to get up by putting strength in his knees. Of course, there was no way Lee Do-hyeon would let Ryu Jeong do that. His thick arms, with blue veins bulging out, wrapped around Ryu Jeong’s waist and pulled him in. Ryu Jeong squirmed, not knowing what to do, at the blatant sensation he felt on his buttocks.
“Are you teasing me?”
“P-President…….”
Ryu Jeong looked at Lee Do-hyeon with a tearful face. It was obvious that he was anxious about whether he would be made to do that kind of thing again. He didn’t know where to put his gaze, so he lowered his head, then looked up at the sky in surprise at the position of being naked and facing each other, and then drooped his eyebrows when he met Lee Do-hyeon’s eyes.
It’s cute how he doesn’t say he hates it outright, Lee Do-hyeon chuckled quietly. He couldn’t help but have lewd thoughts as he caressed Ryu Jeong’s skin, which was warmer and softer than the warm water. But he had no intention of overworking Ryu Jeong again, who had been tormented until he fainted. It’s not like he only has this chance.
“I won’t put it in. I still have a little conscience, even though I look like this.”
Unlike his words, the erect penis that was aligned with Ryu Jeong’s butt crack was terribly fierce. Even seeing the relaxed and affectionate smile on his face, he didn’t quite believe it. Ryu Jeong lessened his suspicious gaze a little only after the hand that was on his thigh was gone.
“So, what’s your answer?”
Lee Do-hyeon gently cupped Ryu Jeong’s cheeks with both hands. He looked like he was waiting obediently, like he was looking at a big dog. His eyes, which only contained him, seemed to be constantly shouting that he liked him, making his heart ticklish.
Do you like me? His heart, which was already tired from beating more than usual, was now pounding as if it would burst.
“Just shamelessly say okay to the request to live here. Jeong needs to be a little shameless and selfish.”
“How…….”
“How can you do that? Why can’t you? Try it. Nod your head.”
“…….”
“Quickly.”
At the endless urging, Ryu Jeong reluctantly nodded. Lee Do-hyeon, who had been staring at Ryu Jeong almost glaringly without blinking an eye, finally raised the corners of his lips. Satisfaction bloomed all over his face.
“That’s right.”
Not only did he praise him with words, but he also ruffled Ryu Jeong’s hair as if he were handling a puppy, and Ryu Jeong quietly let him touch his head, as if he liked the touch quite a bit. And……. Lee Do-hyeon, who had been stroking his head to his heart’s content, trailed off leisurely.
“Don’t nod your head to the confession that I like you, say it with words.”
“…….”
“Huh?”
Ryu Jeong opened his mouth as if possessed.
“I too…….”
“Yeah.”
“I… I like you too. President…….”
Despite the frustratingly slow confession, Lee Do-hyeon smiled brightly as if he was happy. His smile was so kind that it made him feel kind just by looking at it. Ryu Jeong slightly raised the corners of his lips, following Lee Do-hyeon.
“Good job.”
With a short compliment, his hair was messed up again. For some reason, he felt so good that he felt like he could fly into the sky right away.
“Then shall we wash up first?”
He was feeling proud inside, but his handsome face suddenly came closer. Ryu Jeong, who had been blinking blankly, was startled for a moment and squeezed his eyes shut. He could feel Lee Do-hyeon laughing with his nose.
“T-Together……?”
“Jeong has a sneaky side.”
There was no time to deny it. His breath seemed to be getting closer and closer, and then, with a cute sound, something warm and soft touched his lips and fell away. It was a light kiss with no sexual intent. Somehow, it was much more stimulating than a deep kiss with tongues intertwined. Ryu Jeong, who was trembling because he couldn’t figure out the situation, finally opened his eyes when there was no further progress.
“……!”
Ryu Jeong flinched when he saw the face that was right in front of him as soon as he opened his eyes. As if he had been waiting for him to open his eyes, Lee Do-hyeon was staring at Ryu Jeong. He lightly touched the cheeks, which had turned reddish in embarrassment, with his fingertips, and Ryu Jeong was startled once again and flinched.
Lee Do-hyeon smiled softly, kissing the corners of his lips that thinned whenever he smiled, the round tip of his nose, and the beautifully double-lidded eyelids in turn.
“We came in together, so we have to wash together. Wash and…….”
“…….”
“Let’s eat together.”
It was cute how his protruding Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Lee Do-hyeon deliberately dragged out the end of his words and pulled his head back.
“Ugh…….”
“But before washing, start with this side.”
His butt was grabbed. Ryu Jeong had no choice but to spread his legs because he was firmly held in place, saying that he had to clean up. But soon, he realized that Lee Do-hyeon’s kindness was all a trick. Of course, it was already too late when he realized that fact.
In the end, Lee Do-hyeon was able to see the pretty face dripping with tears of pleasure once again. Although he had to receive a ridiculous glare for laughing in front of a crying person.
