Chapter 52
“Ah…!”
Although he had inwardly promised never to bite or hit Hwi no matter how difficult it became, Yun-seo bit into Hwi’s shoulder hard enough to leave a mark. Hwi, seemingly unfazed by the pain, patted Yun-seo’s buttocks and continued thrusting his hips.
“Yes, yes.”
From inside, filled abundantly with his seed, came a sound like wet wooden frames creaking. His insides felt so full of Hwi’s essence that he experienced a sense of satiation.
Though Hwi had been the one who told him to bite, it was Yun-seo whose pale skin was covered in red blossoms. Yun-seo surrendered completely to Hwi’s persistence and tenacity, entrusting himself to him as he trembled.
Finally, after Hwi released his essence, he layered his body over Yun-seo’s. Even though he supported his weight with his arms against the bed, a heavy heat pressed down on Yun-seo’s entire body. Rather than feeling burdened, he felt a sense of security, as if he had entered a private space known only to him. Yun-seo rested his head on Hwi’s shoulder and nestled against him like someone exhausted from the midsummer heat.
Hwi buried his lips in Yun-seo’s nape and sucked deeply. By now, every part of his body had become sensitive, and even the slightest stimulation returned sharply. As he shifted with a whimpering moan, Hwi stroked his waist and raised himself up.
His thick, long dick scraped against Yun-seo’s inner walls as it withdrew. When the thing that had been filling him departed, he felt empty below, as if something had been unplugged. His entrance involuntarily gaped open and closed. Soon something flowed out between his legs, causing Yun-seo to close his thighs.
“No matter how much I pour into you, you only spit it out, so there’s no satisfaction.”
Hwi clicked his tongue softly and traced his fingers through the fluid flowing between Yun-seo’s legs. Yun-seo furrowed his brow as he became aware of what was flowing out of him, but he was too weak to respond and simply lay with his limbs splayed.
As he merely breathed like someone who knew how to do nothing but respire, he felt Hwi’s gaze traveling slowly from his head to his toes. Hwi, with a satisfied look in his eyes as if he had finally had his fill, surveyed Yun-seo, whose body was marked with red blotches and who was leaking his seed between his legs.
Yet seemingly still unsatisfied, Hwi played with Yun-seo’s toes before lifting his foot and biting his toe. Yun-seo recoiled his foot in shock.
“What are you doing…?”
“I would have liked to swallow you whole.”
When he raised his eyebrows at Hwi’s genuinely regretful expression, Hwi laughed leisurely and rose from the bed. After draping just one piece of cloth over his naked body, he strode out of the room while Yun-seo weakly followed him with his eyes.
The door closed, and only then could Yun-seo look around the room. The sun had set, and it was completely dark outside the window. The burning candles had melted, with wax dripping down their sides. How long had they been making love? He never dreamed that conjugal relations would last so long or happen so many times.
His wet thighs felt uncomfortable, but he couldn’t move a finger. Just as he wondered where Hwi had gone, speak of the devil, he returned with a cloth in hand.
“You seem exhausted. You can barely open your eyes.”
“I’ve never… experienced anything so arduous in my life.”
It was certainly not an exaggeration, but Hwi laughed amusedly and brought the cloth between Yun-seo’s legs. When the damp cloth touched him, Yun-seo flinched and closed his legs. In response, Hwi pressed down on his thighs and meticulously cleaned his soiled nether regions.
His cooling cheeks flushed again, this time from embarrassment. He should have insisted on doing it himself, but he couldn’t bring himself to move, and Hwi’s face as he voluntarily tended to him looked so peaceful and satisfied that he didn’t want to disturb him.
A grown man should have been ashamed to leave such tasks to another, but he had decided to discard such formalities, at least on this bed.
Marriage was a relationship where both partners shed all pretense and propriety, pressing their most intimate parts against each other.
“Uh…”
When Hwi’s fingers entered to scoop out the fluid, Yun-seo’s inner walls quivered slightly. He involuntarily let out a sound and glanced at Hwi, but he seemed unconcerned, using his delicate touch to remove what was inside. However, through his loosely tied robe, Yun-seo could see Hwi’s dick still standing proud and formidable, which truly amazed him.
After Hwi had cleaned his arms and legs completely, he handed him a cup of water. After moistening his lips, he realized his forgotten thirst and only after emptying the entire vessel could he catch his breath.
Although exhausted, sleep didn’t seem like it would come quickly. Yun-seo watched attentively as his lover tidied up around them. Love filled his heart completely, without the slightest gap. Embracing this fulfilled feeling, he felt there was nothing in the world to envy.
He didn’t need the recognition or blessing of others. Even if they had to leave this country as paupers with nothing but their bodies, he felt there would be nothing to fear. Somehow feeling like he might cry, Yun-seo buried his face in the pillow.
When Hwi returned to the bed, Yun-seo extended both arms toward him. He smiled broadly, removed his robe, and lay down beside him, embracing him.
Lying together under one blanket, it felt like paradise. Hwi gently stroked Yun-seo’s hair. Yun-seo enjoyed his touch before slowly speaking.
“You know, when you gave me that hairpin as a gift… that day was actually my birthday.”
Hwi’s affectionate gaze shone down on Yun-seo. He dreamily recalled the serene scene where sky lanterns rose into the air from various places.
“So it was you who put up my hair, and also you who let it down.”
After finishing his words, he felt somewhat shy and fidgeted with his night clothes, but then felt Hwi’s lips touch his forehead. A crescent moon-like smile appeared on Hwi’s face.
“I’m honored.”
“It’s not such an honor…”
“Could there be any greater honor for me?”
At his deliberately solemn tone, Yun-seo giggled like a child and buried his face in Hwi’s embrace. Leaning against his firm, warm chest, courage and hope welled up within him that he could do anything in the future.
“But how did you… preserve your chastity?”
“Is that what you’re curious about?”
Though his question carried a hint of amusement, Yun-seo was truly curious and didn’t want to withdraw his question. He placed his hand lightly on Hwi’s chest and caressed his skin with his fingertips.
“People around you wouldn’t have left you alone, would they?”
“Do I look like a man without principles who would be swayed by those who wouldn’t leave me alone?”
“That’s not what I meant…! You know what I’m trying to say.”
Feeling as though Hwi was deliberately evading his question, he grumbled, and Hwi chuckled before gently tickling his hair.
“Well, let’s say I saved it for this day.”
He hadn’t been too busy to even have time for such things; rather, he had preserved his purity for the person he would eventually bond with. It was a romanticism and fidelity that seemed difficult to associate with Hwi. But that was the kind of person he was—a romantic man who saved his first time for someone he would truly love.
So they had given each other their firsts.
Feeling a pleasant laugh about to inappropriately burst forth, Yun-seo cleared his throat and savored the sensation of Hwi’s heartbeat under his fingertips. The slow, heavy pulse climbing through his skin made Yun-seo feel even more comfortable and cozy.
A sigh almost escaped him, lamenting the passing night. If only he could somehow preserve this night. But perhaps it was more precious and brilliant because it was fleeting. Yun-seo released a deep breath and looked at Hwi.
In Hwi’s dark eyes sparkled affection that had been there for who knows how long. Being embraced by Hwi, who poured out his love without hiding or hesitating, made Yun-seo desire to someday reveal all truths to him.
When the day came to leave this country, he would tell him everything then. Without hiding anything, so Hwi could know him completely.
“Hwi.”
“Yes.”
“My wish… can I tell you now?”
Finally, he could decide on the wish he had won from their game of dice. His heart fluttered brilliantly. Hwi gestured for him to speak, and Yun-seo immediately revealed his wish.
“No matter who I am… please love me.”
