After eating beef, they headed to a charming café in the quiet outskirts of Seoul. As soon as they arrived after a long drive, Kim Min-seok blurted out in shock.
“What? A pianist?!”
Kim Min-seok, who had been sipping on his iced Americano, looked completely astonished. Ha Jun-seo smiled and nodded.
“A pianist… This is the first time I’m seeing one in person. Wow, that’s amazing.”
Kim Min-seok stared at Ha Jun-seo with newfound curiosity. Now that he thought about it, Ha Jun-seo’s gentle demeanor and long, elegant fingers suited the profession quite well.
“Are you famous?”
“Well? Maybe a little?”
Ha Jun-seo responded nonchalantly, as if it didn’t matter much to him. Kim Min-seok studied him for a moment before pulling out his phone. He opened a browser and searched for Ha Jun-seo’s name. Instantly, his photos and profile popped up—his birthdate, physical stats, education, career, and all sorts of information. But that wasn’t all. Articles about his albums and concerts filled the screen.
“Wow, you really are a celebrity. This is insane.”
Kim Min-seok scrolled through the articles, scanning various headlines. The thought that someone who appeared on media platforms was sitting right in front of him felt surreal.
“That’s your new phone?”
Ha Jun-seo leaned in slightly, glancing at Kim Min-seok’s phone. He seemed indifferent to the articles about himself displayed on the screen.
“Ah… yeah. Choi Sang-hyuk bought me a new one to replace my broken phone.”
“Broken?”
“Yeah.”
Kim Min-seok nodded in response, and Ha Jun-seo’s eyes narrowed slightly. But soon, he returned to his usual gentle smile.
Even though they were simply sitting in a quiet café, idly chatting, it felt inexplicably pleasant. Watching the busy people passing by outside the window was oddly entertaining. The fact that he could sit back and enjoy a moment of leisure while everyone else was rushing through their day was something unthinkable when he was still Kim Min-seok.
Ha Jun-seo silently observed him. No matter how good-looking someone was, they were still just another human being, yet he never seemed to tire of staring at him.
“Is it fun?”
Kim Min-seok asked, noticing that Ha Jun-seo hadn’t taken his eyes off him.
“Yeah, it is.”
“What’s so fun about staring at someone’s face?”
“It’s the face of someone I love. Just looking at you makes me happy.”
At Ha Jun-seo’s words, Kim Min-seok panicked and quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Then, he frantically looked around. Fortunately, it was a quiet time of day, and there weren’t any nearby customers, so the chances of someone overhearing were low.
“What if someone hears you?!” Kim Min-seok whispered urgently, leaning in close to Ha Jun-seo. “You’re a pianist, right? A famous one, at that. Just searching your name online brings up a ton of articles. How can someone like you be so careless?”
Seeing how Min-seok anxiously brought his upper body closer and lowered his voice, Ha Jun-seo found him utterly adorable. He chuckled softly and ruffled Min-seok’s hair.
“You don’t have to worry about that. So what if someone hears? It’s not like we’re committing a crime.”
“Still, it’d be a problem if we got caught… You know, being gay. Our country isn’t exactly accepting of that yet.”
Min-seok spoke in a hushed, serious tone. Ha Jun-seo leaned in even further, so close that it felt like he might steal a kiss. His eyes gleamed with a knowing look.
“And if we do get caught and it turns into a big scandal… will you take responsibility for me?”
“Hah… how am I supposed to do that?”
“It’s simple. If I can’t get married, you’ll just have to stay with me forever.”
Jun-seo grinned playfully as he spoke. Min-seok was at a loss for words. Seeing all those articles online made it clear—Ha Jun-seo was quite a renowned pianist. If he got outed, the fallout would be massive. Yet, he genuinely didn’t seem to care. In fact, he almost looked like he wanted to get caught, as if it would work in his favor if Seo Ha-yoon took responsibility for him.
“Does he really like Seo Ha-yoon that much?”
Min-seok pondered the thought. From their very first meeting, Ha Jun-seo had thrown around words like lover and love so easily that he hadn’t taken them seriously. His overwhelming kindness and warmth had seemed like just part of his personality. But if he was willing to risk being outed, if he loved Seo Ha-yoon that deeply… then maybe, just maybe, it really was love.
As Min-seok’s expression grew more solemn, Ha Jun-seo lightly tapped the small beauty mark beneath his eye with his fingertip. Their gazes locked, and this time, there was something different about Jun-seo’s stare—something deeper, more intense. It made Min-seok’s breath hitch.
“Ha-yoon.”
Jun-seo called his name while keeping their eyes locked. His tone was unusually serious, making Min-seok tense up.
“Yeah?”
He answered briefly. Jun-seo slid his hand over Min-seok’s on the table, his fingers gently overlapping his. Then, leaning in even closer, he whispered:
“I want to suck you off.”
“…What?”
For a moment, Min-seok’s brain short-circuited.
“I want to suck that pretty cock of yours. Right now.”
Min-seok was utterly dumbfounded. But what was even more shocking was how his body reacted to Jun-seo’s words. His lower abdomen tensed immediately, and a faint ache of arousal throbbed between his legs.
“…Ugh…”
“I want to take Ha-yoon’s cock in my mouth and suck it deep. Wrap my tongue around it, suck it hard until you’re crying, moaning, and leaking all over yourself. You always whimper and sob when I do that, don’t you? I want to see it. Right now. Hmm?”
Jun-seo interlaced their fingers, applying the slightest pressure as he continued his seductive whispers.
Min-seok should have called him a pervert. He should have said something. But instead, his mouth went dry. Every word Jun-seo murmured painted vivid images in his mind, making heat pool low in his stomach.
He could already feel himself getting hard.
Gulp.
Kim Min-seok swallowed hard, and seeing this, Ha Jun-seo smiled beautifully, his eyes gleaming. He raised their intertwined hands to his lips and flicked his tongue over his middle finger. The moist touch sent a shiver through Kim Min-seok, as if Ha Jun-seo had licked his cock. Kim Min-seok quickly scanned the area, worried someone might have seen, but fortunately, no one had.
“Shall we leave?”
Ha Jun-seo suggested temptingly. Kim Min-seok hesitated briefly, but not for long. Ha Jun-seo pressed his foot against Kim Min-seok’s crotch under the table, sending a jolt of desire through him. Already semi-aroused, the direct stimulation made his body flush with heat and his mind race.
“Let’s go, okay?”
Ha Jun-seo urged again. Kim Min-seok nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly. Though he felt a pang of regret for giving in to temptation so easily, he blamed Ha Jun-seo’s allure. The mind, after all, often succumbs to the body’s desires.
Seeing Kim Min-seok’s nod, Ha Jun-seo smiled broadly and led him out of the café, holding his hand tightly. Kim Min-seok tried to pull his hand away, conscious of the public display, but Ha Jun-seo’s grip was firm. He gave up and followed, head down.
Ha Jun-seo opened the passenger door and, unlike his usual gentleness, pushed Kim Min-seok in. He then got into the driver’s seat and started the car immediately. Kim Min-seok quickly fastened his seatbelt as the car sped off.
***
The remote location of the café meant there were no signs of the city nearby. Ha Jun-seo, usually a careful driver, sped down the quiet country road, unlike his typical safe driving.
“Slow down,” Kim Min-seok pleaded.
“How can I drive slowly when I’m dying to taste you?” Ha Jun-seo replied, his voice urgent with desire. His tone and hurried driving only heightened Kim Min-seok’s arousal.
Kim Min-seok sighed inwardly. His body was too easily stirred; even this was enough to arouse him fully.
Screech!
The car suddenly came to a halt on a dirt path off the main road, surrounded by weeds and trees.
Click.
Before Kim Min-seok could react, his seatbelt was unfastened. Ha Jun-seo pushed the passenger seat back and unbuttoned Kim Min-seok’s pants, pulling down the zipper.
“Ha Jun-seo!”
Kim Min-seok exclaimed in surprise, but Ha Jun-seo didn’t hesitate. He pulled down Kim Min-seok’s underwear, revealing his semi-erect member, and took it into his mouth without a word.
