After hesitating briefly, Ye-sol reluctantly moved his hands. Having concentrated on biting only the right nipple, it was now more swollen around the areola compared to the left one. Though a subtle difference, the color was also darker.
“Is it okay…? My nipple….”
When Ye-sol asked with a worried, innocent face, Min-hwan smiled.
“It’s nicely ripened.”
“Hmm…?”
As Ye-sol stared blankly as if not understanding what that meant, Min-hwan caressed his cheek and explained the real purpose of his visit.
“When you meet Dr. Oh again, please tell him you want me to stay with the Jibural team too.”
“Huh? Min-hwan, weren’t you already in the Jibural team?”
“I was. But now you’ve joined. In the current situation, they’ll likely say there’s no need for two guides and one person must leave. Since I’m an A-class guide, if someone has to leave, it would be me….”
“Ah….”
It made sense that they would think this way since Ye-sol was higher ranked.
“So… I hope you’ll tell them you want to work with me….”
Min-hwan’s voice was slightly less confident than before. He couldn’t meet Ye-sol’s gaze and turned his eyes completely away. Seeing this unfamiliar melancholic expression, Ye-sol felt a tug at his heart.
“I will.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I… really want to be on the same team as Min-hwan. Truly.”
As soon as Ye-sol spoke in a shy voice, Min-hwan smiled with his eyes forming crescent moons. The melancholic face had vanished without a trace.
“Thank you, hyung.”
“Yeah.”
It was the first time someone had called him “hyung,” and strangely, hearing it from Min-hwan made him feel a bit embarrassed but completely happy.
“Oh, but if there are two guides…”
Although he still wanted to work with Guide Min-hwan, there was one thing he was curious about.
“Then what… do you do?”
At that, Min-hwan flicked his bright red tongue and attached himself to Ye-sol’s chest again.
“I suck the honey, of course.”
Slurp, slurp. As if that was his entire role, Min-hwan happily sucked and wet Ye-sol’s nipple.
***
It was the day of Ye-sol’s discharge from the hospital. As he was opening a new can of soda to pour into a glass bottle, Daisy started grumbling from early in the morning.
[About the soda. It seems to become like bland sugar water after a day, so don’t forget to change it for me.]
“Yeah, but flower-nim, I want to do that too… but it was hard enough getting a drink in the hospital. Can’t you be patient for a bit during the move?”
[Hah…. Good grief. I guess I have no choice. Then be careful not to shake the glass bottle. What will you do if all my petals get damaged?]
“Yes, I will. But flower-nim, you look really beautiful today too!”
[……]
When Ye-sol stroked Daisy’s white petals while complimenting it, the grumbling stopped.
[Well…. There’s nothing I can do about being jostled when you put me in a bag. Just be careful not to break it.]
“Mm-hmm, I will.”
Ye-sol safely placed Daisy into the glass bottle and closed the lid with several small holes.
“Flower-nim, can you hear my voice?”
[I can hear you. And I’ve told you that I can understand what you’re saying even without hearing your voice.]
“Wow, really? Can you read my thoughts?”
When Ye-sol asked again in surprise, Daisy fluttered its petals and spoke with a voice full of pride.
[What’s with you? Despite appearances, I come from a dungeon. And by the way, the fact that you can hear my voice in the first place is the stranger thing, you know?]
“Huh, really…? So nobody else can hear flower-nim talking?”
Ye-sol was taken aback, as he had no idea. Now he understood why Daisy had been so freely complaining even when doctors and nurses were present.
[Anyway, I don’t know why you can hear my voice either. But I can see what’s in humans’ minds. Because I can see those dark and dank inner thoughts, that’s why I get even more heated!]
Trembling. Daisy was brimming with anger toward humans. It was understandable. How many plants had suffered all this time…. Although it was now forced to live like a stupid human’s pet plant, it vowed that if given the chance, it would definitely help with human extinction.
“Hmm…. Then flower-nim, do you know what’s in my mind right now?”
When Ye-sol asked with an interested look, Daisy let out a small sigh.
[You’re thinking you want to meet the Jibural team quickly and have fun together. Hey! That’s obvious even without looking into your mind!]
“Oh, really?”
In fact, Ye-sol was happy to be discharged, but he was especially excited about meeting the Jibural team.
“Hehe…. But… they haven’t visited me since that day, so I’ve been a bit lonely….”
Ye-sol scratched his head in embarrassment as he revealed his true feelings. But to be fair, even without Daisy reading his mind, Ye-sol tended to speak honestly about everything. Thinking that there couldn’t be a human with less difference between their outside and inside, Daisy hmmed, paused for a moment, and then spoke.
[By the way, did you notice anything strange when I was sleeping?]
“Huh?”
[Like, if I talked nonsense or something….]
“Ah…!”
Ye-sol finally realized what Daisy meant. Come to think of it, he had heard Daisy’s voice when Esper Dong-jeong and Guide Min-hwan were present. It was so strange that he had wanted to ask about it…. Ye-sol explained the situation to Daisy.
[I was speaking their inner thoughts. That’s what they were thinking about you.]
“Wow, really?”
[…A kiss.]
[Ah, it’s plump… fucking plump.]
Ye-sol felt a bit embarrassed. So Esper Dong-jeong wanted to kiss him. As for Guide Min-hwan, he seemed to have been touching his butt at that time….
Ye-sol glanced back at his own bottom. Although it was less prominent in his casual clothes than in his uniform, his large buttocks were snugly fitted against his cotton pants.
[Honestly…. Everyone in the world knows your butt is plump… Oh, wait! Someone’s coming.]
“Huh…? Already?”
Surprised by the early visit before the scheduled time, Ye-sol quickly put the glass bottle containing Daisy into his bag and stood up.
Knock knock.
Right after, someone knocked on the hospital room door. When Ye-sol cheerfully responded, the door opened without hesitation.
“Oh….”
He had naturally expected Dr. Oh to come pick him up, but an unexpected person appeared.
“Esper Kye Sung-gi-nim!”
As soon as he saw his face, Ye-sol happily jumped to the glass wall. He was like an excited puppy meeting its owner.
“It’s been a while, Guide Ha Ye-sol. Dr. Oh had an urgent matter, so I came instead. I arrived a bit early to help you pack… but I see you’ve already packed everything?”
Sung-gi looked slightly puzzled as he saw Ye-sol’s luggage on the bed and Ye-sol in his casual clothes.
“Ah… well…. I knew today was discharge day, but it was too boring waiting alone. I woke up early and packed everything! Changed my clothes too. So I’m really glad you came so early!”
“……”
Ye-sol jumped up and down, smiling brightly in front of the glass wall. Though his build was large, his innocent appearance was incredibly lovable. Others might have thought so, but instead, Sung-gi’s lips hardened.
“…Yes, I think it’s excellent that you’ve saved us time this way.”
Sung-gi took out a key card from his pocket. Then he approached the security device on one side of the glass wall and swiped the key card. Beep beep beep. The green light changed to red, and the glass that had been dividing the hospital room disappeared into the wall.
“Ah….”
Somehow, Ye-sol felt a bit sad as the glass wall, where he had splattered semen and the food slot through which Min-hwan had entered, disappeared in an instant.
“Here.”
