Gentle Giant Chapter 70
“Wh-what did you just say…?”
Dain stared at Juho with his mouth hanging open in bewilderment. He wondered if the person in front of him was really his boyfriend. Even though our Juho could be a bit mischievous, to show me that kind of thing, uh, showing it…!
Worried that Dain might burst from turning so red, Juho fanned Dain’s face with his hand.
“Why, hyung? If hyung feels wronged, I could show you mine too. Don’t you want to see it?”
“Ngh!”
“You don’t want to see it?”
Dain vigorously nodded his head in response. Disappointment spread across Juho’s face. In an instant, his eyebrows drooped into an upside-down V, and the corners of his red, plump lips turned downward. Seeing such an obvious change, Dain also looked tearful.
No, why would he be disappointed that I can’t show him that?! Did coming from America make him more open-minded? Then has he been suppressing this all along and accommodating me in everything from A to Z…?!
Dain’s head was spinning with confusion, but he decided to comfort Juho first.
Dain desperately started racking his brain. What could he say that wouldn’t hurt Juho’s feelings while also preventing him from showing it?
As Dain looked at Juho’s still dejected face, a memory suddenly flashed through his mind. With a feeling that this was it, Dain shouted:
“I, I already know about yours, Juho! I f-felt it!”
“Felt ittttt” – the sound echoed through the bathroom, and both Dain and Juho looked at each other with flustered faces.
Wait, ending it like this makes me sound like more of a pervert…?
Dain quickly added:
“Back then, back then when my knee touched your… there, ngh, I felt it like that…”
“Puhaha!”
“Ju-Juhooo…!”
Eventually, loud laughter burst from Juho’s mouth. Because Dain was reacting so desperately, he couldn’t stop teasing and kept provoking him.
Juho asked Dain while suppressing his intermittent laughter:
“So? How was mine?”
“…B-big…”
“I see, so that’s how hyung felt it.”
Juho’s eyes curved into thin crescents. Was it his imagination that Dain’s gaze seemed to be directed toward his center?
Just as Juho was about to sit up during the prolonged silence:
“Um, Juho.”
“Yes?”
Dain called Juho with a cautious voice. His face, which had looked like it might burst for a while, had also returned to its normal skin tone to some extent.
Juho looked at Dain’s face as he gazed up at him with sparkling eyes. What was this cat going to say to amuse him now? He felt anticipation.
“So, did yours get bigger after secondary sexual characteristics?”
“…?”
“W-will I become like you after my secondary sexual characteristics are finished?”
Dain’s face turned serious.
Even if Juho was perfectly dressed, it wasn’t difficult to imagine his inside. In his head, the sensation from that time was automatically replaying naturally.
To be honest, Dain was a bit envious since he was also a man.
“Hyung, kiss me first.”
So he had asked, but instead of answering, Juho was busy grabbing Dain’s face and smooching him all over with his lips.
“Ah, no, answer my question…!”
“Were you that curious about it?”
Dain, who was receiving Juho’s kiss shower, complained while dodging his head this way and that. Regardless, Juho, who found Dain adorable to death, finished what he was doing and then whispered in Dain’s ear:
“Hyung, I was big from the beginning.”
The low, ticklish voice in his ear seemed to touch even Dain’s fine hairs. Unable to bear that feeling, Dain tensed his shoulders with all his might.
As Juho pulled his lips away from Dain’s ear, he once again scanned between his bent knees. The water in the bathtub, where the bubbles had already subsided, had only turned milky white but couldn’t completely hide Dain’s body.
Tsk, Juho clicked his tongue and placed a towel on top of Dain’s head.
“Hyung, the water’s all cold now, so if you stay any longer you’ll catch a cold. Finish washing up and come out.”
“Mm, okay.”
“Then I’ll take the phone back.”
“Ah, yes!”
“I’ll go out first.”
Where did the person who had been stickily staring at every corner of his body go? Seeing Juho return with a refreshed face, Dain turned red once again.
“Am I the only one who’s embarrassed and stuff…?”
Left alone in the bathroom, Dain muttered to himself and stretched out his knees that had been bent for a long time, patting the numb parts. He wondered if he was the only one seriously conscious of it.
Dain, whose fingers had become wrinkled from being in the water too long, stretched them out and swept over where Juho had been sitting. With each movement of Dain’s fingers, the sound of splashing water accompanied the rubber duck family floating around.
*Thud.*
As soon as the soft sound of the door closing echoed, Juho collapsed in place.
“Wow, that was really tough.”
His other hand, not holding Dain’s phone, was clenched tightly in a fist. Deep nail marks were embedded in the palm of his hand as he repeatedly clenched and unclenched his tingling fist.
He had endured with superhuman strength the desire to immediately lift up that body and suck on it down to the tips of his toes. How delicious would Jung Dain’s smooth body be? Just imagining it made his face feel hot and flushed.
Juho seriously calculated how long he could endure with a grave expression, then soon shook his head.
Even if he made predictions, the waiting time wouldn’t be easy. His body, which had heated up just from thinking about Dain’s body, needed some time to cool down.
Juho, who had been sitting and catching his breath for a moment, tried to move to another spot before Dain came out of the bathroom, but frowned at the pain he felt in his knees.
His joints have been creaking every morning lately… He thought he should look into a clinic soon.
**Chapter 5**
“Juho, Juho.”
Dain, who was writing something at the kitchen table, called out to Juho. Juho, who had been sitting on the bed reading a book, put down his book with a puzzled expression and headed toward Dain.
“Hyung, what is it?”
“Mm. Midterms are coming up soon.”
“Ah.”
Is that so? Juho, who had little interest in the academic schedule, mumbled his response and sat next to Dain. Even though sitting across from him would have been sufficient, he deliberately pulled his chair close to Dain’s left side and rested his chin on his shoulder while looking up.
With Juho’s bright yellow sparkling eyes and the soft hair tickling his neck, Dain felt like his entire left side was tingling.
On top of that, Juho’s fresh body scent reaching his nose was so pleasant. Dain, who had been unconsciously twitching his nose, suddenly came to his senses and coughed softly.
“Hyung?”
“Mm! *Ahem*, I made a study plan for the midterm exams.”
“A study plan?”
“Yeah, first of all, this is your first time taking exams here, Juho, so I thought it might be difficult for you to adapt, so I wrote it as detailed as possible.”
“Hyung wrote it himself.”
Juho, who had initially made a reluctant expression, carefully examined the study plan he received from Dain.
In this day and age, not using a tablet but actually drawing lines on A4 paper to create a study plan by hand – what amazing analog dedication.
The study plan he received without much expectation was organized much more neatly than Juho had thought. He was newly impressed by Dain’s abilities.
Dain also looked at the study plan together with Juho while his face was still resting on his shoulder.
I put five times more effort into his study plan than my own, is it okay?
Dain subtly glanced down with just his eyes to check Juho’s expression. Fortunately, he couldn’t sense any displeasure on his face.
“H-how is it?”
“Mm. It’s good, well organized too. So if I follow what hyung wrote, I can get the top grade in our major too?”
Juho asked with a mischievous expression, grinning.
“Uh, no. I’m still going to get the top grade though.”
An unexpected answer came from Dain’s mouth, when Juho had naturally thought he would encourage him saying he could definitely get the top grade.
Juho lifted his chin from Dain’s shoulder. Dain looked at Juho with a puzzled expression at his suddenly lightened shoulder.
“Juho, why?”
“No, hyung. I was wondering if you really meant it when you said you couldn’t give me the top grade.”
“Huh? Ah, yeah. Really. I’m really going to get the top grade.”
“Hyung?!”
Juho called out to Dain with an expression of disbelief. While Dain wondered why Juho was reacting this way, he was worried Juho might hurt staying in that position for long, so he gently tapped his gaping jaw closed.
Juho, who closed his jaw as Dain helped him, soon looked at Dain with a pitiful expression.
“Without a moment’s hesitation, so decisively, saying you can’t give me the top grade! Hyung, how can you do that to me…?”
“Gasp! Ah, so that’s what it was!”
“So that’s what it waas? This isn’t such a light matter! Then why did you make this for me!”
“No, no. I have to get the top grade so I can receive a scholarship next year, and only then can I focus on studying for the civil service exam.”
Dain stammered to explain his reasons, but Juho’s sharp gaze didn’t soften.
No, was our Juho this ambitious? Did he really want to get the top grade? Dain’s eyes filled with confusion.
Still, he couldn’t give up the top grade. His real life plan was starting from this midterm exam. He couldn’t mess up from the very first step!
Dain hardened his expression that was about to soften. If he backed down here, taking responsibility for Juho might get complicated.
“Juho, even if you’re upset, this can’t be helped. Hyung has to get the top grade so I can take responsibility for you later.”
“What?”
“I told you before, right? That I’ll definitely pass the civil service exam in one try. To do that, I really have to only study starting next year.”
While Dain felt sorry about not being able to yield even to Juho, he was determined to persuade him well by sacrificing the small for the greater good.
However, hearing those words, Juho was truly surprised this time. Was he really serious about that plan back then? So that’s why he was determined to get the top grade no matter what?
Juho looked at Dain with an expression of disbelief. Is this what it means to be so lovable you want to bite them…? He immediately wanted to chomp down and devour Dain.
“Ha, hyung.”
“Mm.”
“What did hyung eat to become this lovable? Huh? So what I’m saying is, can I bite hyung just once?”
“You want to bite me?? Why, why?”
Dain jumped up, having missed the first part and only properly hearing the part about biting at the end.
I guess I was too selfish and annoying. Taking Juho’s words about biting literally, Dain made a tearful face while extending his forearm.
Right, this was all for his and Juho’s rosy future. If Juho would give up on the top grade by biting him once, that would actually be grateful.
Still, being bitten with Juho’s strength would probably hurt a lot.
“Juho. Y-you have to bite gently…?”
