#124

The moment the elevator doors closed, Tae-heun kissed the Man. He’d meant to aim for the lips, but he rushed so eagerly that it landed somewhere between his cheek and cheekbone. He realized this only when the man yelped and clutched the left side of his face.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“No, not that much.”

“I’ll be gentler.”

He leaned in for another kiss, but ding, the elevator doors opened. It was only a seven-story hotel, so the ride was short. The doors would close again, and going down and back up once more wouldn’t be bad.

But the Man, in a hurry for some reason, quickly stepped out of the elevator. Tae-heun clicked his tongue and leisurely followed him. The Man, who had been leading the way without even knowing the room number, turned to look at Tae-heun. His slightly embarrassed, yet somehow nervous expression made Tae-heun’s lower body heat up.

A midday affair. For Tae-heun, the word “midday” felt more provocative than “affair.” Sex in broad daylight was all the more arousing because it was so blatant, but it could also fizzle out quickly. But with the Man, he was sure to heat up to the point of explosion.

Tae-heun licked his dry lips and pulled the card key from his pocket, waving it. He tried to act nonchalant, but he was just as nervous. The the man stood behind Tae-heun, staring at the carpet for no reason. They hadn’t even entered the room yet, and both were swallowing hard.

The door opened with a somewhat frivolous sound when the key was swiped. Tae-heun ushered the man inside first.

“Wow.”

The the man exclaimed.

Tae-heun admired his own foresight in opening the curtains before leaving to drop off his bag and felt a sense of pride as he watched the Man’s back. The room was like a sauna because the curtains were open, but the heat didn’t bother him since the man liked it. The the man pointed to the lake with his finger, saying, “Look at that.” The Paddle boat was still running. His excited nape looked just like a the child.

“Ki-beom, shall we take a shower together?”

Tae-heun asked, rummaging through his bag when he thought the man had admired the view enough. He tried to sound casual, but his voice cracked. He waited for the Man’s answer, wondering if he would refuse, but the Man, who had been looking at the scenery, turned around and nodded lightly.

Unlike before, his face seemed more relaxed than nervous. Tae-heun thought that maybe the man had been expecting it too. Or maybe he had been preparing himself while looking out the window. Either way, it was a good thing.

It was Tae-heun who was more nervous than ever. It was just a Boston bag, but he couldn’t find his underwear inside and ended up turning the bag upside down, emptying its contents. The clothes inside the bag spilled out, and six condoms rolled onto the bed.

“Why did you bring so many?”

The the man grumbled as he picked up his own underwear.

“So many? What’s so many about six?”

Tae-heun carefully gathered the condoms as if they were treasures and placed them on the table next to the bed.

“There will be some left over. I’ve done two in a row before, but I can’t do more than that. Though I don’t know about this time.”

The the man said somewhat brusquely. It sounded like he was going to use them himself.

I’m not mistaken, am I? He wouldn’t think that if he saw my dick.

“You’re not planning on using them, are you, Ki-beom?”

Tae-heun asked jokingly. He tried to be lighthearted so as not to hurt his pride. The the man stared at Tae-heun with a completely expressionless face.

“Why not?”

He asked.

“Why not?”

Tae-heun, dumbfounded, repeated what the man had said, and the man asked again, “No, why not?”

They say your mind goes blank when you’re too flustered, and that’s exactly what happened to Tae-heun. How could he have thought of using those? There couldn’t be a more absurd misunderstanding. Wasn’t it obvious to anyone that these condoms belonged to Kim Tae-heun? But the Man, with a rather bewildered expression as if to say, ‘Are you saying you’re going to use them?’, fiddled with his underwear.

The two stood facing each other like gunslingers, silent. Both Tae-heun and the man puffed out their chests and straightened their shoulders to show off their masculinity. Tae-heun had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this scene in a nature documentary, but this was not the time to worry about such things.

“A-Aren’t you going to wash up?”

It was the man who broke the silence.

He had turned on the air conditioner, but the room was still like a sauna, and Tae-heun was already soaked from riding the Paddle boat, so he wanted to wash up quickly too.

“I should. But Ki-beom, shouldn’t we clear something up before we go in?”

“What?”

“What else? That.”

Tae-heun pointed to the condoms with his chin.

Then the man said, “I’ll use them,” and walked straight into the bathroom. He was stubborn as hell.

“No, what are you going to do with those, Ki-beom? If you want to try them on, you can, but it’s a waste. I mean, it’s not that I think it’s a waste to give you just one condom, Ki-beom, but…”

Tae-heun kept rambling as he followed the Man. He subtly appealed that he was going to use them. But the man didn’t seem to be listening. His firm back seemed as stubborn as his personality.

“The bathroom…”

The Man, who had been marching forcefully toward the bathroom, turned to Tae-heun with a flustered expression.

Without even going inside, Tae-heun knew why he had stopped. Like any love hotel, the bathroom here was made of transparent glass. In other words, you could see everything from the bedroom: undressing, showering, and peeing. It had been a while since he had visited a love hotel, so he hadn’t thought that far.

“It’s always like this.”

“Still, this is a bit…”

“Why else would it be called a love hotel?”

He casually patted the Man’s back as if it were nothing.

“Aren’t you going in?”

“W-Why don’t you wash up first, Tae-heun?”

“Why? So Ki-beom can watch from the bed?”

He slyly wrapped his arm around the Man’s waist, and the man flinched.

“I didn’t know Ki-beom was a voyeur.”

This time, he rested his chin on the Man’s shoulder. It was only natural that his nape and earlobes turned bright red. Tae-heun’s playful side was piqued, and he blew air into his ear. The the man trembled as if he had been electrocuted. So honest, really. Tae-heun laughed.

“What are you going to do? Shower together, or watch?”

He asked softly.

“Together.”

The answer was surprisingly quick for someone who was embarrassed.

So he’s surprisingly straightforward.

Tae-heun buried his nose in the Man’s shoulder and said, “Okay.”

The the man still smelled like laundry dried well in the sun. The scent of the powdered detergent that also came from his own clothes was mixed in, but somehow there was no smell of sweat. He couldn’t smell the foul odor that would usually be present if he had been sweating buckets. Was his nose numb, or had his brain stopped working? He was puzzled. He sniffed again, but still only smelled good.

Tae-heun marveled that the man was born this way, and wondered how he could be so perfectly to his liking.

“Let’s go.”

Tae-heun pushed the Man’s back and walked into the bathroom together.

The bathroom, as large as the room, was clearly designed for lovemaking. There was a tub that could easily fit two large men like Tae-heun and the Man, a tub that was more like a mini-pool. Because the tub was so huge, the sink, shower, and toilet seemed insignificant.

Seeing the man sigh softly, Tae-heun turned him around.

“Let’s take off our clothes facing each other.”

He suggested to the Man.

He winked with perfectly normal eyes, and everything went dark for a moment. Tae-heun deliberately reached out with both hands to grope the man to show that he couldn’t see. Then the man lightly dodged Tae-heun’s hands and chuckled.

Opening his eyes wide with an exaggerated motion, the man winked back at Tae-heun with perfectly normal eyes. The two looked at each other and raised the corners of their lips.

Silence fell in an instant. The two swallowed hard, their Adam’s apples bobbing noticeably.

Tae-heun unbuttoned his shirt first. Then the man began to unbutton his shirt at Tae-heun’s pace. Unlike Tae-heun’s shirt, which was unbuttoned to his chest, the Man’s was buttoned to the top, so their speeds didn’t match.

Even after Tae-heun had taken off his shirt and thrown it away, the man was still unbuttoning his. Tae-heun swallowed hard every time the Man’s dark, rough hands unbuttoned the pure white shirt. He knew he was wearing an undershirt underneath, but he couldn’t help it.

Before long, the Man’s shirt also fell to the bathroom floor. Now it was time to take off what he was wearing underneath. Tae-heun took off his white short-sleeved T-shirt and watched the Man. The undershirt, which he would have thought was tacky on someone else, somehow looked as sexy as a bra on the Man.

The Man’s collarbones and beautiful right-angled shoulders were tantalizingly revealed through the white straps of the undershirt. Licking his lips, he lowered his gaze slightly, and the Man’s chest muscles and dark nipples were clearly visible through the thin undershirt, soaked with sweat. The word “explicit” was more appropriate. What did it matter if he saw the chest and nipples of another man? The the man was enduring Tae-heun’s gaze in this position.

Just as the man was about to lower his hand to take off his undershirt, Tae-heun stopped him.

“There’s something I want to do.”

He said.

Then he slowly pushed the man against the wall. The Man’s body, backing away, tilted to the right.

Tae-heun immediately lowered his head and slowly brought his tongue to the wet undershirt. To the Man’s nipple, to be exact. His tongue touched the Man’s nipple along with the thin fabric. After licking it a few times, it had already hardened. He took his lips away and admired his chest with his eyes. The Man’s chest, with his nipples raised, was quite shapely. It was not as small as a woman’s breast, but it was small enough to be cupped in one hand.

The the man gasped roughly. As a result, his chest rose and fell incessantly. Tae-heun looked up at the man and opened his mouth wide as if asking for permission. Then he charged at his chest once more. He sucked hard on the flesh of his chest, along with the fabric, inside his lips. He sucked hard.

“Ugh!”

The the man groaned loudly and jerked his body.

When he bit his nipple with his teeth, the man was startled and pushed Tae-heun away.

But I’m not the kind of person who gets pushed away by a push.

Rather, Tae-heun became even more persistent. He sucked, licked, and bit one nipple and chest with his lips, then rolled it around in his tongue. Then he moved to the other side.

The Man’s stiff body gradually melted away due to the continued caresses. The hand that had been pushing Tae-heun away also lost its strength. The the man kept panting and swallowing his moans. Looking down, Tae-heun saw the Man’s half-erect cock, trapped in his dress pants, revealing its majesty.

That was the signal. Tae-heun pulled on his undershirt as it was. The undershirt, trapped in his dress pants, came out easily, and soon the Man’s abs were revealed. The sensation of the skin touching his palm was excessively soft.

He wanted to savor the soft, tender flesh, but he didn’t have the mind to do so. He didn’t have the time to admire his firm lower abdomen and pretty navel. He pulled his undershirt up to his collarbone as it was. With the man pressed tightly against the wall in that state, he pounced on the Man’s chest again.

What was it about this, what was it about this chest that could only be described as flat even though it had muscles, that made Tae-heun so excited? The nipples that hardened every time he moved his tongue and the areolas that seemed slightly swollen than before were sensual. It was sweeter than any chest Tae-heun had ever sucked and licked. It was indescribably blissful.

Every time he bit it slightly with his teeth, the man gasped and his body jumped. He could see the man biting his lip. His chest was good, but his lips were the best. Lips where he could feel the Man’s breath.

Tae-heun raised his head and stared straight at the Man. Then he licked the Man’s lips, which were thicker than his own, with his tongue. He licked and savored his lips, watching his eyelashes tremble slightly.

Hot, rapid breaths burst from Man’s lips. Soon, Man’s lips parted. As if waiting for it, he bit Tae-heun’s tongue. Tae-heun shuddered. the man had only taken his tongue between his lips, but his whole body vibrated as if he’d been electrocuted.

Tongues tangled urgently. Why was so much saliva being produced? The sticky, thick sounds and moans spread quickly from the two men’s mouths into the bathroom.

man cupped Tae-heun’s face with both hands, and Tae-heun gripped Man’s undershirt. He lifted his arms to make it easier for the man to take it off. Even in the midst of all this, he was so intent on kissing that he bumped, bit, and sucked at his lips. He should hurry up and take it off, but he was so engrossed in the kiss that Tae-heun’s hands stopped moving. Because of that, the man had to hold his arms up for quite a while.

“I’m sorry, Ki-beom. You were standing at attention because of me.”

Tae-heun, belatedly realizing this, apologized while still kissing him. He quickly took off the undershirt and threw it aside. They both laughed. Giggling, full of playfulness.
