Side Story 17
Eunsol’s chest heaved. Seeing his excessively nervous appearance, a faint smile crossed Hyun-oh’s face.
“…Hey, did you just see that?”
“Yeah. I can understand why Eunsol’s oppa got married.”
“That’s incredible, really.”
He was frighteningly handsome, but his uniquely intimidating aura was so strong that people’s first thought was usually that he was scary.
But seeing his face as he smiled at Eunsol, the atmosphere changed so dramatically it created the illusion of fully bloomed flowers swirling around.
“Relax. I’m here with you.”
Hyun-oh slipped his fingers between Eunsol’s and firmly interlaced them. With the gentle warmth transmitted through their joined hands, the tension in Eunsol’s lips also eased.
“You can stop right here.”
As Eunsol and Hyun-oh moved to the ceremony venue, Kang Ye-ryeong, Ryu Jeong-woo, and Eunsol’s friends also changed their positions.
Their wedding was planned to flow a bit differently from typical ceremonies.
Since family was worse than nonexistent for Eunsol, they couldn’t perform the sequence where both sets of parents participated.
Because of this, the two had decided to enter together. There was an officiant but no minister for the ceremony.
Rather than sitting at the parents’ table, Ye-ryeong sat at a specially prepared table at the front and watched as the ceremony began.
‘…How silly, I’m about to cry.’
Seeing the two standing at the entrance of the flower path in the distance made her heart swell.
It was apparent from just the look in their eyes that this was an incomparably happy day for both Hyun-oh, her biological son, and Eunsol, the son she had taken into her heart.
“Is Raon still sleeping well?”
“Yes, madam.”
Kim Myungjun was seated at the table with her. To Hyun-oh and Ye-ryeong, Myungjun held a position beyond that of merely an employee.
“Mother says she’s never seen such a gentle baby. Says he’s not like the Chairman when he was little.”
Currently, Raon was being cared for by Myungjun’s mother. Initially, they had wanted Raon to participate in the ceremony as well, but he was too young for that.
It had only been four months since his birth. There were many concerns about bringing him to such a crowded place.
Although everyone had been carefully selected for invitation, they also didn’t feel comfortable having the precious grandson’s face seen by so many people.
“He takes after our new son. What a relief.”
Hyun-oh might not know, but he had been a truly difficult baby to raise.
He would cry whenever his back touched anything, to the point that Ye-ryeong once strained the ligaments in her arms from constantly holding him.
But this was Ye-ryeong’s memory alone, unknown to the now-grown Hyun-oh.
“Ah, they’re entering now.”
With the officiant’s comment, all the lights in the venue went out except for those illuminating the central aisle.
The light pouring down from the chandeliers hanging over the flower path created an ethereal atmosphere, as if that area alone existed in a different world.
Applause from numerous people showered down on the couple.
To soothe his body trembling with nervousness, Eunsol made eye contact with Hyun-oh and carefully took one step at a time.
Despite the thunderous applause that made his body vibrate, being in eye contact with Hyun-oh gave him the sensation of being isolated in a space with just the two of them.
The eyes that held only him glimmered beautifully under the lavishly pouring lights.
Looking into his eyes, Eunsol felt like he was the most beautiful and precious person in the world.
Even if this place had been a shabby venue with no guests and just the two of them, Eunsol would have been enveloped in the feeling of being an incredibly precious person.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on Hyun-oh’s hand. Like the rapidly beating heart that seemed to flow down to his hand, Hyun-oh’s warmth gently enveloped him.
The fresh pine scent swirled around Eunsol as if protecting him. Within it, Eunsol became the happiest person and smiled brightly.

“Raon, dads will be back soon.”
“Aboobu…”
Eunsol grabbed Raon’s hands reaching toward him and pressed his lips to the tiny fingertips. Unaware of the impending separation, Raon just smiled brightly.
“I’ll take good care of him, so don’t worry. Hurry and go.”
Ye-ryeong patted Eunsol’s shoulder, urging him to get going. Hyun-oh had already said his goodbyes to Raon long ago and was standing in front of the wedding car.
“Mother, we’ll be back soon. Please take good care of Raon.”
“He’s not just your son but also my only grandson. I’ll take such good care of him that he won’t even miss you, so don’t worry.”
The ceremony that had seemed endless was finally over. In front of numerous people, Eunsol had kissed Hyun-oh and exchanged custom-made rings with him.
Unlike the ring Hyun-oh had previously given him as a gift, this was the kind that could be worn daily.
The simple rings with top-grade diamonds set in the center were gleaming brilliantly on both their hands, in the same position.
“We’ll be going now.”
Hyun-oh took Eunsol’s hand, greeted Ye-ryeong, and then made eye contact with Myungjun who was standing behind, silently asking him to take care of things.
For their honeymoon, Hyun-oh had set aside a schedule of three days and two nights. Since he had handled urgent matters in advance, nothing should disturb the couple unless some accident occurred.
As soon as they settled into the back of the wedding car opened by the driver, Eunsol grabbed his legs and groaned.
“Ugh…”
“Are you in a lot of pain?”
“N-no. I think the tension is releasing now that it’s over.”
Despite Eunsol’s assurance that he was fine, Hyun-oh silently removed Eunsol’s shoes and placed his legs on his thighs.
He even brought over a cushion that was stocked in the car, placed it behind Eunsol’s back, and helped him to half-recline.
“I’m fine… Ah…”
When Hyun-oh began to massage Eunsol’s legs himself, Eunsol was startled and covered his lips with the back of his hand.
A moan escaped uncontrollably as the knotted calf muscles were pressed with just the right amount of pressure.
Hyun-oh’s gaze as he looked at Eunsol became peculiar.
After massaging the ankle that fit in one hand, he stimulated the smooth calf that seemed to have no muscle at all, and Eunsol’s cheeks flushed.
Eunsol’s toes wriggled inside his socks.
Hyun-oh was simply massaging his legs, but a strange pleasure was gradually spreading from his calves to his lower abdomen.
“Hyun-oh, w-wait a moment.”
Eunsol had no choice but to sit up and remove Hyun-oh’s hands that were firmly attached to his legs. Instead of resisting, Hyun-oh yielded to Eunsol’s push.
“The muscles still don’t seem fully relaxed.”
Though it wasn’t severe enough to cause muscle spasms, it seemed better to loosen them up more.
When Hyun-oh tapped the leg with his fingertips, Eunsol was startled and quickly lowered his legs under the sheet.
“You’re not going to call me ‘darling’ today?”
Seeing Eunsol desperately trying to retreat despite having nowhere to escape, Hyun-oh also felt the surrounding air heating up.
Eunsol alternated between calling Hyun-oh “darling” or “Hyun-oh.”Â
Usually, in places like this where others were present, he would consistently call him “Hyun-oh.” It seemed he was shy even though there was only the driver in the front seat.
Hyun-oh pressed a button, raising an opaque partition between the front and back seats.
The driver focused on driving, staring straight ahead as if he couldn’t see or hear anything.
“Come here.”
Hyun-oh put his hands under Eunsol’s armpits and seated him on his thighs.
In the blink of an eye, Eunsol found himself sitting with his legs spread on Hyun-oh’s thighs, and his lips parted in a daze.
Caressing the cheeks that were fairer than usual due to light makeup, Hyun-oh stole a light kiss from Eunsol’s lips.
Even then, Eunsol just blinked blankly with his hands resting on Hyun-oh’s shoulders.
“I want to hear it. In your voice.”
“…Uh.”
Hyun-oh deliberately pressed his lips to Eunsol’s earlobe and whispered in a low voice.
At the voice that seemed to scrape the inside of his ear, Eunsol let out a moan from deep in his throat.
“Do you know how beautiful you look today?”
Heat rose over their closely intertwined gazes.
Because of Hyun-oh, who spoke embarrassing words without blinking an eye, the flush on Eunsol’s face only deepened.
The heated gaze that had been wandering over various parts of Eunsol’s face, capturing it in his eyes as it bloomed like a flower, stopped on the lips that seemed to hold flower petals.
“…I want to kiss you.”
While he wanted to hear the term “darling,” at this moment, it seemed like only tasting this delicate mouth as much as he wanted would satisfy him.
Hyun-oh firmly pressed Eunsol’s moderately plump lower lip with his thumb. The breath escaping between the lips carried a sweet scent.
With the subtle lily-of-the-valley fragrance rising gently, Hyun-oh’s lower abdomen instantly felt tense.
