Gentle Giant Chapter 42

“That… mmph!”

Before he could even say “that’s right,” Dain’s lips were blocked by Juho’s lips.

The grip strength that was hard to believe came from someone who had just woken up was holding Dain’s shoulder and then his chin. When he tried to pull his head back even slightly, he could feel more force being applied to the hand gripping his chin.

Dain’s hands fluttered in the air, flustered by Juho’s sudden lips. He didn’t know whether he should grab Juho’s chin like him, or at least wrap his arms around his shoulders. Dain was on the verge of panic, seeing the sparkling lights through his closed eyelids.

Of course, he had been the one to kiss first, mesmerized by Juho’s pretty lips, but Juho pouncing on him was an unexpected turn of events. Dain tried hard to hold onto his mind that had been trying to fly away since earlier. His lips, where Juho’s red and glistening lips touched, were still pounding with a fast heartbeat.

Watching Dain with his eyes tightly shut and his lips pressed even tighter together, Juho lifted the corners of his mouth. He couldn’t possibly think this was a real kiss, could he?

Without removing his mouth from Dain’s lips, Juho spoke.

“Hyung. You need to open your mouth.”

“Mmm?”

O-open my mouth…? It was when Dain answered, concentrating all his nerves on the shape of Juho’s mouth moving smoothly over his lips.

Juho’s tongue began to enter boldly through Dain’s slightly parted lips.

“…!!!”

What is this?! Dain’s shoulders jumped up. Someone else’s thing was in his mouth, and it was a tongue…?

Dain was helplessly dragged along by Juho’s tongue exploring his mouth.

Wow. T-this must be a real kiss!

Dain’s frozen mind, which had been just opening his mouth without knowing anything, finally started to turn little by little. He thought he understood why people in the kiss scenes he occasionally saw in movies or TV turned their heads back and forth.

B-but a tongue… Dain’s eyes, which had popped open in surprise, took in Juho’s long and sparkling eyelashes. He could also catch a glimpse of his high nose bridge extending below.

Dain couldn’t believe he was doing something called kissing with such a beautiful and lovely person.

While Dain was looking at Juho with wide eyes and a moved expression, he was carefully licking every corner of Dain’s mouth.

Dain was basically just opening his mouth as he was told, but Juho was already feeling the emotion of ecstasy for the first time in his life just from being inside Dain’s mouth.

While Juho touched, licked, and nibbled at every corner of his mouth, Dain gradually became breathless. Of course, having his mouth blocked didn’t mean he couldn’t breathe, but why did it feel like even his nose was blocked?

Dain, who had been carefully following Juho by moving his tongue, eventually couldn’t hold back and urgently hit Juho’s shoulder.

Juho, who had been so absorbed in Dain trying to move little by little that he lost track of time, lifted his head at the ticklish feeling of tapping on his shoulder.

In front of him, Dain with a dark red face was panting and looking at him. It wasn’t sexy panting, but really the panting of someone before running out of breath.

“Huk, huh… huhuk… J-Juho… br-breath… hek…!”

Dain took in plenty of smoothly supplied oxygen. He was realizing how precious breath was, which he had been unconsciously breathing well all along.

Dain was scrunching his nose saying he needed to breathe, with his hair disheveled from Juho’s vigorous touching.

Juho couldn’t hold back the laughter that finally burst out at Dain’s appearance. It was his first time seeing someone who showed so obviously that ‘I’ve never kissed before,’ and it was also his first time not thinking it looked pathetic or stupid.

Dain, who had barely caught his breath, was momentarily shocked by Juho’s appearance, which was too fine compared to himself.

No, why am I the only one out of breath when we kissed (!) together…? A considerable sense of betrayal appeared on Dain’s face.

Quickly noticing that change in expression, Juho hurriedly stroked Dain’s head.

“Hyung, you’re not supposed to hold your breath when kissing. Like this, like this, they said you can breathe like this…?”

“Huh? L-like this?”

“Yes. Moving your head slightly like that.”

“I-I see. Juho, how did you know…?”

Dain, who had been earnestly learning how to breathe following Juho, hesitated. Could it be… he’s kissed a lot with other people besides me?!

Dain sent suspicious glances, thinking that Juho, whom he believed had no friends and didn’t meet anyone just like himself, might have actually met many people in the past.

He had thought before that since he was a top-tier species with incredible beauty, he probably met someone in the past, but seeing clear evidence right in front of him made him inexplicably angry.

“My hyungs taught me.”

“Hyungs? Juho, you’re not close with your hyungs.”

“Still, when we occasionally gather, they talk about these things.”

Juho answered nonchalantly to Dain’s rather sharp questioning, then lightly kissed Dain’s cheek. With a ‘smack’ sound, one side of Dain’s cheek turned pink.

“This is a peck.”

“Mmm. So this was a p-peck… I thought…”

“But hyung, if you liked me enough to secretly do this thinking it was a kiss… you must have really wanted to kiss me, right?”

Juho said with an eye smile. Dain felt his facial muscles loosen at his eye smile and nodded his head.

Honestly, how many male beast-men could stay still with such a handsome, kind, and pretty boyfriend…?

He was also a beast-man and a man. On top of that, he had drunk alcohol, even if just one glass. It was inevitable that thoughts of wanting to do something would surge up.

“Mm-hmm. I w-want to! Because Juho, you’re so handsome and pretty…!”

“Really? You wanted to kiss me?”

Dain’s head moved quickly.

Seeing Juho’s active attitude earlier, he was definitely also wanting to do such things with him. Dain’s mood became even better.

Learning that he wasn’t the only one who wanted to do this, he wanted to try that kissing thing again. This time he had properly learned how to breathe, so he should be able to do it well like Juho. Confidence sprang up endlessly.

“Juho, let’s do it again!”

“What?”

“That, kissing. Let’s do it again! This time hyung will really breathe well and do it properly!”

Dain’s eyes sparkled. Juho held back a hollow laugh. Did this naive cat know that kissing wasn’t originally something you announce you’re going to do with all this energy?

Juho curved his eyes even more prettily than before and reached out toward Dain.

“Hyung, come here. We have to kiss.”

At Juho’s words, Dain stamped his feet and jumped into Juho’s arms. The two giggled for a while, then without anyone going first, they began to kiss.

Dain, who had been gently moving while only following Juho’s tongue for a while, began to more actively lick inside Juho’s mouth after some time passed. He had gradually adapted to breathing to some extent, so he wasn’t distracted by other things either.

Delicious.

Dain’s mind was filled with only those three characters. If he had known it was this delicious, he would have suggested kissing right on the day they started dating.

Dain stretched out both hands that had been floating in the air and lightly wrapped around Juho’s chin. He didn’t want to separate from Juho’s mouth. He liked Juho’s movements that treated him preciously, and he liked Juho’s mouth that felt only sweet.

Dain made whining sounds and clung more to Juho.

Juho held back the laughter that wanted to come out while feeling Dain playing excitedly in his mouth. Even being generous a hundred times over, it wasn’t skillful kissing, but it was cute. It was an action filled with feelings of liking him.

Juho patted Dain’s back. Dain, who became even more excited by that patting, sucked away as if he would lick Juho’s lips clean.

For a long time, Dain’s studio apartment was filled only with the two people’s breathing sounds and rustling noises.

Dain was concentrating without noticing time passing, and Juho was the same. However, before long, Juho’s face moved away from Dain.

“…?”

Dain made a questioning face while licking up the saliva remaining on his lips with his tongue. Watching that, Juho quietly cursed inside while licking up the saliva flowing down Dain’s chin.

“Hyung, I just realized I haven’t even washed yet.”

“Ah, ahh…!”

Dain nodded with an understanding expression, but smacked his lips with regret.

At that cute and honest reaction, Juho kissed Dain’s lips again with a ‘smack’ and went into the bathroom.

Watching Juho’s straight and large back, Dain touched his slightly stinging lips with his hand.

“Real kissing…”

Neither his parents, nor his noona, nor anyone else had told him. That kissing was like this. He thought it was just lips touching lips.

My goodness…! Tongues weren’t just for tasting… Though of course, you could taste while kissing. Juho’s mouth that Dain felt was very sweet. Sweet and cool and refreshing.

Dain, who had been recalling the real kiss they just had, rubbed his head vigorously from embarrassment. It felt like he was getting goosebumps even at the tips of his hair.

“Uh…?”

Dain’s head tilted to the side. His hair, which had been dripping water when he came out of the bathroom earlier, was already completely dry and fluffy.

Heat rose to his ears. He couldn’t believe the fact that he had kissed Juho until his hair was completely dry. W-we did it for this long?!

However, a smile soon bloomed on Dain’s face, which had been full of surprise and embarrassment.

He had decided to date him with the mind that he had to take responsibility for Juho somehow, but now it really felt like they were lovers. And he was so happy that Juho willingly did that act together with him.

Dain, who had been fondling his facial muscles that had loosened and wouldn’t return on their own, leaned against the bed headboard in the same position where Juho had been leaning.

If he stayed like this, Juho might kiss him as soon as he came out of the bathroom. Dain’s mind was already filled with pecks and kisses with Juho.

While wiggling his hands and feet waiting for Juho, without knowing it, Dain’s eyes were slowly closing.
