Jin-ha was just as shocked as Riyekan. He had only heard explanations about Alphas and Omegas, and their heat cycles. Perhaps because the tower was mostly Alphas, no one dared to overlap bodies in visible places, so he didn’t know that the people of this world had such a concept of chastity or such a tolerance for physical affection.
He thought it was natural not to do it in places where everyone could see, but Riyekan’s reaction suggested otherwise.
“Ah, now I understand. Why you were so shocked…”
“I wasn’t shocked.”
“You were.”
“…Fine, I understand.”
Did he really understand? Jin-ha looked at him doubtfully, and Riyekan, finishing the remaining wine in his glass in one go, said,
“From now on, stick closer to me.”
“What did you hear from what I’ve been saying?”
“In return, I’ll also try to restrain myself when we’re outside, where there are eyes watching.”
“…Really?”
“Yes. I can swear to it.”
Riyekan answered solemnly, but Jin-ha still found it hard to shake off his doubts. The Riyekan he knew wasn’t a man who would easily promise to consider time and place like this. Rather, it was suspicious and dubious that he was promising so easily.
As Jin-ha continued to doubt, Riyekan said,
“I mean it. I won’t act recklessly in front of others.”
“Wait. Let’s clearly define the standard for ‘recklessly’.”
“Clearly?”
“Yes. It seems like your standards and mine are quite different.”
“Alright, fine. Then let me hear it. What’s Lee Jin-ha’s standard?”
Riyekan asked with a wrinkled expression. He gestured with his fork and knife, tearing apart the newly grilled dish, as if to say, go ahead.
Only then did Jin-ha feel relieved. As expected, he must have had other intentions. Thinking that he had prevented any lewd intentions that might have arisen, he finally felt at ease.
“I will hold your hand.”
“…Just hands?”
“Hands are enough.”
“Are you kidding me? Not even a child’s play, just hands? No way.”
“Then what more do you want?”
“Actually, I think kisses are fine too.”
“No.”
Jin-ha cut him off coldly. Riyekan made a dissatisfied expression, puckering his cheeks, but this was something he absolutely couldn’t concede on.
That man had a lewd side, so it was best to set the rules a bit strictly. Otherwise, he would act slyly like a malicious company evading taxes by exploiting legal loopholes.
“If you act like that, negotiation is impossible. You don’t know what happens when I get twisted, do you?”
“For such things, I won’t even kiss you in bed.”
“Mean.”
“You’re the mean one.”
Wasn’t that a ridiculous accusation? Who was the most mean person here? In fact, wasn’t the reason Jin-ha came to this world because of Riyekan’s mean side?
Jin-ha recalled the irresistible invitation Riyekan had sent and narrowed his eyes. He had gotten much better lately, but that was when Riyekan was trying to seduce him.
Now that the situation had changed, something might have changed.
“…Kisses. But not in front of the people from that world.”
It meant he would do it in front of the people here, including Legas. It was absurd, but it was a proposal that accurately grasped Jin-ha’s thoughts.
If he was going to restrain himself in front of Seo Ji-seop and the children, it was quite a harsh condition for Jin-ha.
“If you can’t even accept this, then no negotiation.”
It wasn’t a threat, but he was really on the verge of getting twisted. After a moment of contemplation, Jin-ha sighed and nodded.
“And if we’re alone indoors, can we do anything?”
“No.”
“What? Why?”
“Why? Because your tastes are too perverted. What do you mean by ‘anything’?”
Riyekan closed his mouth. Now, if he didn’t soothe him, he didn’t know what would happen. Jin-ha defiantly sliced the heart of the one-horned whale and put it in his mouth.
“But I’ll try. As I said before, I don’t dislike… no, I like the nights with you.”
“…You’ll have to try a lot.”
“I will.”
“Good. Well, I’m not very satisfied, but I’ll settle for this.”
Saying that, Riyekan sliced the grilled heart of the one-horned whale onto Jin-ha’s almost empty plate. Jin-ha, looking at the pile of meat with a slightly nauseated expression, brought a tangy sauce and poured it over. It was delicious, but he already felt a bit overwhelmed. To eat enough to satisfy Riyekan, he would have to rely on the sauce.
Sighing, he sliced the meat and brought it to his mouth, but suddenly felt something strange and looked at Riyekan. He seemed to be smiling, but when he checked again, Riyekan still had a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
Did he see it wrong? He tilted his head and dipped a small piece of bread into the stew.
‘Hmm, he didn’t notice.’
Riyekan carefully adjusted his expression to pretend that this deal was unsatisfactory. He almost got caught by Jin-ha. If he had revealed that he was satisfied, he would have been doubted and interrogated again, and then his plan would have gone awry.
For now, Riyekan planned to behave modestly according to Jin-ha’s wishes. Until Jin-ha let his guard down.
Then, later, when Jin-ha was talking to the guys from Earth with a window between them, he would crawl between his legs and give a deep kiss to his dick. Just imagining it was already enjoyable. That would be enough to consider the place, and since it was not in front of the Earth guys but under, it also satisfied Jin-ha’s condition. Moreover, Jin-ha and he would be inside the building, and the Earth guys would be outside, so wasn’t it rather the Earth guys who couldn’t consider the place?
Of course, Jin-ha would be shocked because of the Earth guys who couldn’t consider the place, but he would endure without showing it. He looked forward to seeing this lewd man, who would pant with just a little lick, suppressing his moans and trying not to be caught doing what was happening below his waist.
From the first time they met, he thought he was a very innocent man, but honestly, it was worse than he thought. He was okay in other aspects, but his imagination was too lacking in the lewd department. That’s why he was being tricked like this.
The same went for the words about trying. In fact, Riyekan didn’t need Jin-ha to try ‘very hard.’ Because he was going to make Jin-ha have no choice but to try. Wasn’t it the same last night? Jin-ha, despite disliking it, complied with Riyekan’s wishes for several days and nights of intense passion and eventually came to like it.
“…Why that expression?”
“Because I’m happy thinking about trying tonight.”
Riyekan quickly made an excuse, and Jin-ha’s face wrinkled.
“You should try moderately…”
“How can I? They say a person should always do their best.”
“…You’re the laziest person in the world talking about doing your best.”
It didn’t suit him at all. If only that man wasn’t a genius, if he wasn’t the master of the Noon Moon Tower, he could have said a word or two.
Jin-ha looked at Riyekan with a troubled expression and started chewing the meat again. It felt unpleasant to obediently eat the tonic food as if falling for Riyekan’s trick, but now he had to at least pretend to do his best to keep the promise of trying.
Jin-ha, seriously pondering how to keep his promise, missed the chance to notice Riyekan’s intentions.

The two enjoyed their date to the fullest for several days. They kissed on the beach, in the forest, and even by a small stream and in a flower field. From light kisses to affectionate kisses, and even to intense kisses that made them rush straight to the room.
During that time, Jin-ha started to like the illusion of a serious relationship whispered by a frivolous man who only knew light relationships. Not because of the resolution to ‘play around,’ but truly.
The two had already spent several nights together and were adjusting to each other through conversation. It wasn’t a one-night stand where they just had sex and parted, nor was it a relationship where either side intended to meet and leave lightly.
At this point, it could be said that they were in a sufficiently serious relationship.
Originally, if they continued to meet for a long time, they would exceed a year, so even if they met seriously, there were cases where they broke up earlier than that.
Of course, thinking about the wounds he would receive someday made his heart ache. But if he was afraid of wounds, he should have lived as a lifelong single in the first place.
As Jin-ha continued his thoughts, he complained, shrugging his shoulders because Riyekan kept kissing the back of his neck.
“It tickles.”
“Just tickles?”
“Nothing more, nothing less than tickling.”
“Liar.”
Riyekan smirked lewdly and sucked on the back of his neck. Jin-ha reflexively covered his neck with his hand and took a deep breath. They were in the room now. That meant whatever happened from now on wouldn’t be strange.
His fingertips touched Jin-ha’s shoulder and gradually moved downward. The sensation of the fabric and skin brushing against each other was lewd. He was wearing nothing but a tunic, and Riyekan’s hand was at the end of the tunic. If he just lifted it up, the two would face another night of their own, disregarding the morning sun.
But suddenly, an anomaly occurred in the sea.
