Chapter 12
Yuwon swallowed his saliva for no reason. Though he had been honestly expressing his feelings all along, now that he was being asked directly, it felt like his throat was completely blocked.
What was it that he wanted from Jeonghyeok?
He thought about him every day, mulled over their conversations, and caressed the fingertips that had touched. What might he be doing right now, where might he be, would he not come to the restaurant today? He would wait endlessly.
What I want from ajeossi is, so…
“I want to become close with ajeossi.”
Without realizing it, he clasped his hands together and brought them in front of his navel. His gaze dropped down. His heart, which had been calm, began to beat loudly and intensely.
“Meeting often to eat meals and drink tea…”
“……”
“Alcohol would be even better.”
When Yuwon lowered his head, his nape was revealed beneath his short hair. Jeonghyeok quietly watched as his white skin turned red.
“Eating meals and drinking alcohol, that’s enough?”
A chuckle escaped. Who would turn red all the way to their nape in front of someone they just wanted to eat and drink with?
Jeonghyeok had seen quite a lot of people like this. People who would turn red in their faces and bodies in front of him, then approach with seductive eyes. Whether their goal was money, a one-night stand, or true love, people who wanted him always tried to win his heart in this way.
It was a tactic he had grown tired of long ago. He wasn’t young enough to fall for such cheap seduction, nor was he lacking in experience. It was even more laughable that it was a man, not even a woman.
But somehow, today was different. If asked to explain why, he couldn’t, but it was different anyway.
He no longer wanted to push away this young man who had been shamelessly following him around for the past few days. Honestly, he wanted to touch him once. Maybe the term “playing with fire” would explain it. Jeonghyeok decided to think only that far.
He stretched out his long legs and took a step closer to Yuwon. When Jeonghyeok’s foot entered his field of vision, Yuwon’s eyes widened.
And the moment he quickly raised his head, his nose bumped into Jeonghyeok, who had come closer than expected. At the same time, Jeonghyeok’s low voice resonated in his ear.
“Is that really all you want?”
“……”
“No, it’s not.”
After a breathless silence, an even quieter voice flowed out.
“Kim Yuwon, that’s not what you want.”
Afraid that if he opened his mouth, the sound of his heartbeat might burst out, Yuwon couldn’t give any answer.
However, he didn’t avoid Jeonghyeok’s pouring gaze. To be precise, he couldn’t avoid it.
It felt like his whole body was tightly bound somewhere. The feeling of being completely wrapped up in tight rope from head to toe. But strangely, he didn’t dislike that feeling. Rather, he hoped to be held even more firmly so he couldn’t move.
Jeonghyeok was right. He couldn’t be satisfied with just eating meals and drinking alcohol. Deep in his heart, he was hoping for something more. He just couldn’t be honest about it.
He didn’t want to simply become close with ajeossi, but to become a special relationship. The kind of relationship where, even without any special promise, when he suddenly felt like seeing him, he could see his face without any trouble.
His true feelings, which he had tried to ignore, overflowed at Jeonghyeok’s single remark. He wasn’t familiar with romantic feelings, but he wasn’t a fool who didn’t know what they were.
Yuwon put strength into his trembling eyelids. Then he timidly reached out his hand and grabbed Jeonghyeok’s sleeve.
“Then… how far would be okay?”
“……”
“Is this much okay?”
He slipped his hand inside the sleeve and slowly caressed Jeonghyeok’s forearm. It was his first time openly touching someone’s body like this in his life, so his gestures were incredibly clumsy.
Still, Yuwon earnestly moved his hands. Even as he tickled the skin of the firm forearm up and down, Jeonghyeok remained still.
Encouraged, Yuwon gathered his courage and stretched out both arms to place them on Jeonghyeok’s sides. Though he wanted to embrace him tightly, he couldn’t quite do that.
The thick waist was completely covered with muscle. It felt more like a rock than a human body. Yuwon spread his palms wide and wrapped them around that solid waist.
Just from that alone, his lower abdomen became warm. It was also ticklish like heat waves rising. Yuwon put strength into his toes and tried to ignore that feeling.
When he slowly caressed down Jeonghyeok’s sides, his chest fluttered and the back of his neck tingled. Like he was committing some great sin, the sound of his heartbeat filled his ears.
Was this what happened when you touched someone else’s body? Or was it because the other person was ajeossi? Having such random thoughts, Yuwon secretly looked up.
He worried that he might be looking at him pathetically, but it was a useless concern.
Go ahead and do more. Jeonghyeok’s eyes were saying that. His heart began to beat even faster at the completely unexpected atmosphere.
Yuwon couldn’t understand why Jeonghyeok was suddenly acting like this. But one thing was certain. If not now, such an opportunity would never come again. He could return to being the original ajeossi who only repeated “you can’t do this or that” at any time, making it difficult to even see his face.
Having steeled his resolve, Yuwon stood on his tiptoes. Then he closed his eyes tightly and pressed his lips to Jeonghyeok’s cheek.
Chu. A timid friction sound echoed.
“Is this… okay too?”
His voice was as small as a breath.
Unable to believe what he had done, Yuwon hung his head low. He felt dizzy. He couldn’t even open his closed eyes and just waited for Jeonghyeok’s answer.
Looking down at such a Yuwon, Jeonghyeok chuckled quietly. Even though he was setting up the situation, this was all he could do. Not even a kiss, just one peck on the cheek and he was trembling this much. What could he possibly do with such a novice?
Realizing the reality, Jeonghyeok pulled his body back. Naturally, Yuwon’s hands that had been on his waist floated in the air. Yuwon raised his head with a bewildered face.
“Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll order it for you.”
Jeonghyeok spoke as if nothing had happened. While he took out his phone from his pocket and opened a delivery app, Yuwon was momentarily dazed trying to understand the situation.
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll choose whatever I want.”
“Wa-wait a moment.”
Yuwon hastily grabbed Jeonghyeok’s hand. His round eyes were full of indignation. His heart was still tightly constricted and driving him crazy, so how could he suddenly act like this?
“You’re going to have dinner?”
“Isn’t that why you came?”
Though it was true, Yuwon wasn’t in a state where he could eat right now.
It felt like his whole body was beating like a heart. His hands and feet had been tingling since earlier, and his lower abdomen was churning, making him feel like he would burst if he didn’t do something.
He had been too busy living to share his heart with someone. Naturally, he had never intertwined bodies with anyone either. So this feeling he was experiencing now was so unfamiliar.
Of course, Yuwon was also a normal man, so whenever his cock became erect, he would masturbate to relieve himself, but that was all. He had never imagined ejaculating while pressing bodies with someone else, and he had never experienced such surging sexual desire.
Yes, that’s definitely how it had been.
“I don’t want to eat.”
Yuwon spoke in quite a firm tone.
“Ajeossi, can’t we… do something else?”
In his desperate gaze was rough passion.
The instinct he had lived without knowing until he was twenty-two swirled. He didn’t care about process or steps. He wanted to recklessly clash lips and rub naked bodies together. He wanted to do that with Jeonghyeok, not someone else.
“What do you want to do?”
“…Please do anything.”
Yuwon wrapped his arms around Jeonghyeok’s neck while pressing down on his trembling chest. Then Jeonghyeok, who had been standing stiffly, slowly tilted his head.
His arrogant gaze swept from Yuwon’s forehead to his chin in order.
“Do anything? Then I can do whatever I want?”
Even though it sounded somewhat teasing, Yuwon nodded earnestly. Almost simultaneously, Jeonghyeok supported the back of Yuwon’s head.
“Hup.”
Jeonghyeok pressed their lips together as deeply as possible. So much that hot breath was directly transmitted into his throat. After exploring the plump lips for a moment, Jeonghyeok immediately pushed his tongue inside.
When the thick tongue entered, Yuwon stiffened completely and lifted his chin. The pace was too fast for Yuwon, who was still getting used to just lip contact.
The hot tongue filled his mouth. As it mercilessly licked from his palate to his lower teeth, sticky saliva went down Yuwon’s narrow throat with gulping sounds.
Despite Yuwon’s efforts to somehow match Jeonghyeok’s pace, he gradually began to run out of breath.
“Mm, mmph!”
Unable to bear it anymore, Yuwon shook his head and separated their lips. Irregular breathing burst out. Because he looked exactly like someone who had been assaulted, Jeonghyeok furrowed his brow and asked:
“Why? Don’t you like it? You said to do whatever I wanted earlier.”
“Haa, that’s not it… I couldn’t breathe, that’s why.”
True to his words, Yuwon’s chest was rapidly rising and falling. His entire face was bright red, making it look like they had already done the deed to anyone watching.
