Harmonious Relationship
Occasionally, very rarely.
There are times when reality doesn’t immediately return even after waking from a dream.
“It won’t be that difficult anyway.”
And if it’s a dream that takes you back to the most difficult time.
“…After a little while, you won’t even think about me.”
Dreams that took him back to that moment were among the most terrible experiences Tae Young-won sometimes had in the morning.
Sometimes these dreams would end happily, similar to reality, but often they’d flow into utterly desperate situations. Either way, when he woke up, his body would be soaked in sweat, drenching his pajamas.
Today was no different.
“…Hah.”
He raised his arm to touch his forehead. Pressing his throbbing temples, he repeatedly reminded himself that he had that dream again today.
Perhaps the memory had become a trauma. Nevertheless, he had somehow become quite good at soothing the nightmares he occasionally experienced.
Still pressing his head, he listened for a moment. He could hear the soft breathing sounds from beside him. The pleasant weight gently pressing on his left arm was exactly the same as yesterday morning.
He immediately turned and embraced Mo Yeon. Since Mo Yeon was sleeping with his back turned, using Tae Young-won’s arm as a pillow, soft hair touched his face. Rubbing his face against it, he could smell a familiar scent.
Embracing Mo Yeon’s back, their bodies were perfectly aligned from upper to lower body. Still, feeling something was lacking, he pulled him closer.
Tae Young-won confirmed and reconfirmed this way that this was indeed reality.
“Mmmh…”
At such times, Mo Yeon, not knowing why, would groan as his body was constricted from the morning. Just like now.
Tae Young-won didn’t express his anxiety in any other way. What kind of man would show such weakness?
Of course, there were times when he was somewhat petulant.
“Yeon-ah.”
“…Mmmh.”
After calling his name and waiting a moment, a delayed response came from Mo Yeon.
“Why do you keep turning your back when you sleep? Making your boyfriend feel bad?”
Completely wrapping his legs around him and constricting his body, Mo Yeon began to groan without even opening his eyes. With sunlight entering the bedroom, it must be quite hot.
“Stop, sunbae, I can’t breathe…!”
While Mo Yeon struggled briefly, their lower bodies were rubbing against each other. One of Tae Young-won’s eyebrows rose high.
He slightly loosened his arms. With a bit more room, Mo Yeon caught his breath and let out an irritated groan.
“Why is he like this, really…”
Grumbling, Mo Yeon pulled the edge of the blanket and closed his eyes again. And he was still turning his back to him.
Tae Young-won’s arms and legs were still tightly wrapped around Mo Yeon’s body. Though there was a bit more space, their lower bodies remained pressed together without any gap.
Unfortunately, even in this state, Mo Yeon fell back asleep. Normally, he should have noticed the intention and slightly moved away.
“…”
Was he sleep-deprived?
It was almost time to get up. After briefly considering why Mo Yeon might be short on sleep, Tae Young-won soon found the answer.
From Tae Young-won’s perspective, one of the reasons Mo Yeon was extremely satisfied with his leave of absence was that he had suddenly developed an interest in binge-watching movies and dramas.
As it turned out, Mo Yeon’s taste was quite brutal.
Rather than humanism or romance, he preferred thrillers or crime investigations, and he even watched medical dramas with explicit surgery scenes with great interest.
However, for some reason, he didn’t particularly enjoy horror movies, finding them implausible, except when watching with Tae Young-won.
Yesterday too, he seemed to have taken a considerable interest in a crime investigation drama he started watching in the afternoon, as Mo Yeon had been glued to his tablet for a long time, ignoring Tae Young-won.
Even when Tae Young-won returned home late due to being busy with recent group projects and final exam preparations, Mo Yeon was completely absorbed in the drama, paying no attention to him.
Tae Young-won was momentarily quite displeased with this and tried to seduce Mo Yeon by gently touching him during the drama, but somehow it didn’t work at all.
Even when he deliberately tried to watch together, the content of the drama, where someone invariably died with each new episode, felt unsettling and he couldn’t enjoy it.
Doesn’t he know how frightening people can be?
‘And there are five more series left.’
How much longer would he be ignored? Momentarily feeling dizzy, he didn’t want to suppress the pettiness that had arisen this morning.
“What time did you even go to sleep? You don’t care about me at all, do you?”
“…”
“Hm? Mo Yeon-ah.”
Even poking his cheek elicited no response. In this state, it seemed like even if someone carried him away, he would just whine a little before falling back asleep.
He slightly raised his upper body. Looking at his face, the sleeping profile was like that of an angel, completely still.
Not even frowning from the sunlight in his eyes, he had his eyes beautifully closed.
*Chu*
While gazing at his eyelashes, Tae Young-won gave a light kiss on the cheek, and the corner of Mo Yeon’s mouth curled up slightly. Tae Young-won frowned.
“What’s this?”
*Chu* After kissing him again, he examined his face.
Mo Yeon giggled softly and pulled the blanket closer.
‘Wow…’
For a moment, he wondered if Mo Yeon was pretending to sleep. But that wasn’t it. To think he could smile like this while asleep.
“You really are born for this.”
He hadn’t been saying it for nothing all this time. Mo Yeon truly had many innate qualities. That is to say, he was born to seduce men.
With narrowed eyes, he watched the sleeping face for a long time, then chuckled.
Honestly, being ignored since yesterday was quite disappointing, but he decided to let it go.
After all, a cat receiving love can do no wrong.
“I’m going to school, so take care of the house, okay?”
*Chu* His lips landed on Mo Yeon’s forehead.
Somehow, the throbbing headache he had when he first opened his eyes had completely disappeared.
***
Tae Young-won was originally a person who valued aesthetics.
Even when watching movies, he hated zombie films with ugly creatures the most in the world. He didn’t particularly like science fiction movies with aliens either. Even when eating food, if being picky, he preferred visually appealing options.
Rather than what everyone considered beautiful, he had his own standards.
And such tendencies regarding aesthetic standards applied to himself as well.
Even after Mo Yeon returned, Tae Young-won still didn’t neglect self-care.
Especially since he was dating someone younger, he thought he should take extra care of himself from now on.
The catalyst might have been when walking around campus, he suddenly realized there were too many people younger than him in the world.
Of course, running into Kim Hyun-soo on the same day couldn’t be ignored either.
“Sunbae, if you’re not busy, can we talk for a moment?”
No, honestly, it was definitely because he saw this bastard that day.
Whenever he encountered Kim Hyun-soo at school, Tae Young-won displayed such blatant hostility that even others found it strange.
“I’m busy. Really busy.”
“…”
“Besides, what could you possibly have to talk to me about? Especially alone.”
When he answered in a dry voice, Kim Jung-hyun, who was walking beside him, looked at him strangely. It was a look that seemed to say, ‘What’s wrong with him?’
“Ah.”
And then, as if something had just occurred to him, Tae Young-won suddenly hardened his expression.
“What to do. I’m not interested in men.”
“…”
Though he spoke with a hint of laughter, his tone was not one that anyone would take as a pleasant joke. Kim Hyun-soo also forced a smile.
“You’re joking, right?”
“You approached so secretively. I almost got disgusted.”
In reality, he was getting aroused by a man every day and even now was habitually telling Mo Yeon that he had turned gay because of him. He had said so just recently in bed.
But Tae Young-won still didn’t think of himself as gay. There was a reason for this from his perspective.
While he could suck and lick Mo Yeon’s soft, white cock all day, the mere thought of rubbing cock heads with another man made him want to vomit.
So in Tae Young-won’s mind, he was both gay and not gay at the same time.
“If it’s okay with you, let’s just talk here.”
“Is my statement difficult to understand?”
By this point, he thought Kim Hyun-soo would take the hint and leave. It was obvious what he was curious about, but Tae Young-won didn’t want to tell him and was even annoyed that he was curious. Nevertheless, the reason he contained himself and stopped at this level was because Mo Yeon somehow felt sorry for Kim Hyun-soo.
“I mean you should only say things that can be said in front of others.”
“…”
For some reason, it seemed Kim Hyun-soo didn’t contact Mo Yeon directly after whatever had happened before. And strangely, Tae Young-won found that unsettling.
