“Alright. Lie face down over here.”
“Okayyy.”
I tried to flop face-down onto the bed like Do Jihoon said… but my lower body wouldn’t move. In the end, I looked up at Do Jihoon with pleading eyes. He let out a small, helpless laugh and then easily lifted me up, setting me face-down on the bed.
“Yuri. I’ll give you a pillow. Put your face in this and lie down.”
“Okaay.”
As I settled comfortably face-down, I felt Do Jihoon climb onto my back. I wasn’t sure if it was his fingers or the bones of his knuckles, but something firm began pressing hard into the muscles around my shoulder blades.
And a sound burst out of my mouth.
“AAAAH!”
A scream filled with pure agony.
“What are you, a pterodactyl? I thought my eardrums were going to burst.”
It wasn’t intentional at all. The scream just shot out like a spinal reflex or knee-jerk reaction. Tears welled up from the pain of my muscles being torn apart, and a groan escaped my mouth.
“Do—Doji… it hurts……”
“Yeah. It hurts? That’s okay. It’s supposed to hurt.”
“Ugh……”
I buried my face in the pillow and groaned. Maybe he was enjoying it, because Do Jihoon kept firmly pressing into every spot where my muscles had knotted up. Each time he jabbed a particular point, my body twitched automatically.
“Yuri. Want to flip over and lie on your back now? If that’s hard, I’ll help.”
“Yeah. Help me. Yuri’s body has no strength.”
Grabbing one of my arms, Do Jihoon flipped me over in one swift motion. My vision filled with his clear, handsome face. Even though we had just worked out and come home, that face had the magical ability to make my stomach feel full just by looking at it.
He started kneading my forearms. It tickled and hurt at the same time.
I got flipped back and forth like a pancake. Next came the backs of my thighs and my butt.
Do Jihoon began pressing into my thighs with his large hands. It hurt like hell.
But then…
At the same time, a tingling sensation started climbing up my nerves. It was an awkward yet familiar kind of ticklishness.
It felt like cold ice was flowing through the blood vessels running throughout my body…
Yet at the same time, it was burning hot like flames.
The heat gathered and rushed down into my lower abdomen. The sudden stimulation filled me with a flustered sense of panic.
“……”
And it was embarrassing as hell. My face twisted as the shame came flooding in.
At this point, I decided to just accept the truth comfortably.
That I was a Grade 1++ pervert.
Do Jihoon’s hands slowly moved upward from my thighs. When he started pressing into my glutes, the sharp pleasure steadily intensified. It felt like the final remnants of my dignity as a human being were about to vanish.
Sniffling slightly from embarrassment, I spoke to Do Jihoon.
“Doji… I think you can stop now.”
“There’s still more. Even if it hurts, bear with it a little longer. Stretching would be best, but you’re not in a condition to do that. At least get a massage. Otherwise tomorrow will be even worse.”
“…No. I just mean your wrists might start hurting. You can stop.”
“They won’t hurt. There’s not much left. When we’re done, should we go get sushi? You like sushi the most.”
It had been a lie told with good intentions, but this idiot Do Jihoon really had zero awareness in the strangest places. Panic surged through me at the thought that he might notice my condition.
Like at the beach before, and now again. Why did my body heat up like this every time Do Jihoon touched me? If he found out about this, it was obvious I wouldn’t even be able to rest peacefully in my grave. Desperately, I tried to stop him.
“…I’m tired. Stop, Doji.”
“You’re tired?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s worrying. Maybe you’re coming down with body aches.”
With that, Do Jihoon started flipping my body over again. Ignoring the screams of my protesting muscles, I stubbornly resisted his hands.
“Don’t!”
“…What’s wrong with you?”
My cold reaction must have given him the wrong idea. Whether it was worry or irritation, his voice dropped noticeably lower.
“This won’t do. Let’s check your temperature. I think you’ve got body aches.”
“It’s not that—”
I couldn’t even finish my sentence.
Do Jihoon flipped my body over.
And I wasn’t even covered with a blanket.
“……”
He didn’t say a word.
Trembling from embarrassment, I raised my shaking arms and barely managed to cover my face.
“Damn it… I told you I was fine, you jerk.”
“……”
Do Jihoon was still frozen like a rock. I couldn’t tell what kind of expression he had. I was too mortified to gather the courage to lower my arms.
“I’m so embarrassed I could die……”
Muttering quietly, I fought down the shame and started reciting the national anthem in my head. I just hoped my mind and body would calm down quickly.
But before I could settle down, Do Jihoon grabbed my arms. Even when I was in normal condition, I couldn’t match his arm strength no matter how hard I struggled. In my exhausted state now, it was even more impossible.
Pulled by his grip, my arms were dragged down, and I ended up face-to-face with Do Jihoon. My nose stung and my eyes prickled. I hadn’t even realized it, but it seemed tears had formed from sheer embarrassment.
I was worried about what kind of expression he might be wearing. What if he was looking at me like I was some kind of pervert? He still hadn’t said anything.
Taking a small breath, I slowly opened my eyes. I always thought this—once something’s already happened, it’s better to face it than try to avoid it.
But before I could even fully open my eyes—
Do Jihoon wrapped his arms around me from behind while lying on the bed and pulled me tightly into his embrace.
“Ah! That hurts, hurts!”
“Thank goodness……”
Has this bastard lost his mind?! Thank goodness my ass!
My whole body felt like it was being stabbed with shards of glass. In a completely different sense from earlier, tears started streaming down again purely from physical pain.
Despite my screaming, Do Jihoon didn’t loosen his grip at all. I had already grown numb to the pain and was staring blankly into the air when—
Something that was definitely not my body touched my thigh.
“…?”
Frowning in confusion, I spent about two seconds thinking about what it could be.
“You crazy bastard!”
And then I figured it out. My face crumpled in shock—but soon calmed again when I remembered the state my own body was in.
It made sense. Since ancient times, people say birds of a feather flock together. Me and Do Jihoon were pretty much the same kind.
Held in his arms for a while with my lower back lifted slightly, I finally heard a quiet apology slip from Do Jihoon’s mouth as the pressure of his arms around me began to loosen.
He braced one hand beside my head and pushed himself halfway up. That made his brightly smiling face come clearly into view. I let out a dry laugh and spoke to him.
“Doji. I was extremely embarrassed just now, but seeing you makes me feel a bit better. You’re definitely not normal either.”
“Yeah. Looks like both of us have pretty strong sex drives.”
“Right. I agree—ugh.”
I had been speaking calmly when suddenly—
Do Jihoon began releasing the pheromones he’d been holding back in full force. Carefully, I started assessing the situation.
On the bed. Do Jihoon. Alpha. Successful.
My mouth fell open at the absurd conclusion I reached. My brain, which unfortunately spun far too quickly, had accurately grasped the disastrous situation.
Of course, I welcomed it too. How could I not? Like Do Jihoon said, I was a man in my twenties with a strong sex drive—and our last night together had been forty-seven days ago.
Of course I wanted to do it!
But not today.
My whole body already ached like I had the flu, and I could barely move. If I ended up doing it with ridiculously virile Do Jihoon in this condition, I could already see myself being forced to skip Monday and Tuesday classes next week.
Feeling the blood drain from my face, I shook my head firmly.
“Not today. Seriously. Look—I don’t even have strength in my body. Even if you just touch me anywhere—”
It hurts. That’s what I was about to say.
“You like it. You don’t look like you hate it at all, Yuri.”
Do Jihoon cut me off, whispering softly into my ear. My body and mind, which had begun to calm down, stirred back to life again.
We were pressed tightly together. Do Jihoon immediately noticed my condition and released another wave of dense pheromones into the room. My body, annoyingly honest, slackened as heated breaths began spilling out.
“You bastard. Last time I kept asking, asking you to do it and you kept refusing, refusing.”
“That time the situation was different.”
“I thought you were impotent or some monk or something. Turns out you’re actually a really bad guy.”
“Yuri. Back then I misunderstood and thought you were having a hard time.”
“…I’m having a hard time right now too, Doji.”
I pushed my lips out as far as possible and looked up at Do Jihoon with a pitiful expression.
Hoping—just hoping—that he would let it slide for tonight.
