“Don’t want to do it?”
Dan Joo-hyuk asked softly, gently holding Yoon Pa-ran’s chin. His tone was still gentle, but it was clear his mood had improved considerably.
So Yoon Pa-ran realized. Dan Joo-hyuk was enjoying this phenomenon called a quest.
Right. This is exactly the kind of thing Dan Joo-hyuk would like.
“… I guess I have to.”
Yoon Pa-ran finally answered with a voice that sounded like a sigh. Sitting on Dan Joo-hyuk’s lap was still awkward, but the thought of running away had definitely disappeared.
With the quest popping up in front of his eyes, he felt a subtle sense of crisis and caution. Something wanted him to keep cooperating with Dan Joo-hyuk.
Is that really a god?
“…”
“…”
Anyway, this was the form of the quest that Yoon Pa-ran had only heard about from Dan Joo-hyuk. He glared resentfully at the penalty that was as unfair as a natural disaster.
On the other hand, Dan Joo-hyuk didn’t bat an eye. Whether it was because he had already experienced this twice or just found it interesting, Yoon Pa-ran wasn’t sure.
To Yoon Pa-ran, experiencing this for the first time, the situation felt quite unreasonable. Still, Yoon Pa-ran decided to grit his teeth and get this quest or whatever over with quickly.
If you can’t avoid it, face it head-on. This was a familiar way of thinking for Yoon Pa-ran.
Come to think of it, why was he trying so hard to avoid just a kiss? Looking at the relaxed Dan Joo-hyuk, it was clear that he wasn’t placing much significance on this act either.
Right. If I can avoid death with just this, it’s a small price to pay.
“Let go of me for a second.”
Yoon Pa-ran pushed away Dan Joo-hyuk’s arm around his waist and tried to get off his lap. He intended to get rid of this embarrassing position before filling the skill.
However, Dan Joo-hyuk instead tightened his arms and suddenly pulled Yoon Pa-ran closer. Surprised that their faces might collide, Yoon Pa-ran instinctively stiffened his waist and resisted.
“Ugh.”
“Let’s just do it like this.”
Why insist on this uncomfortable position?
It was indeed a mindset he couldn’t understand. That emotion was clearly visible on Yoon Pa-ran’s face.
Dan Joo-hyuk then lowered his head and came closer. In that state, he calmly raised only his gaze.
“I’ll just kiss you. Okay?”
“…”
Seeing that face flickering under his chin, Yoon Pa-ran strangely found himself at a loss for words.
He swallowed dryly for no reason, and his stomach felt like it was twisting. His lips parted and closed several times.
Why bother making that promise when the status window only says to kiss anyway?
Yoon Pa-ran grumbled inwardly but for some reason couldn’t voice these thoughts. Before he knew it, his thoughts had drifted to the realization that the position didn’t really matter.
“… Do as you like.”
In the end, Yoon Pa-ran murmured softly. Come to think of it, this might be better than lying tangled on the sofa.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Dan Joo-hyuk reached out again. The hand that had carefully held his chin moved little by little until it cupped one of his cheeks.
After maintaining eye contact for a while with his hand on his cheek, he slowly moved his hand backward. His large hand brushed Yoon Pa-ran’s earlobe and gently wrapped around his nape.
The distance between their faces shortened very slowly.
“…”
It was a very slow movement, unlike earlier when he seemed ready to pounce at any moment. Contrary to his intention to get it over with quickly, Dan Joo-hyuk’s lingering actions only made Yoon Pa-ran more impatient.
His gaze anxiously flitted around Dan Joo-hyuk’s face. The relaxed smile from earlier was gone, replaced by a rather serious expression.
Moving as slowly as a snail, Dan Joo-hyuk suddenly spoke just before their lips touched.
“Still.”
Yoon Pa-ran couldn’t bring himself to ask “What?”
Dan Joo-hyuk’s next words resonated almost inside Yoon Pa-ran’s lips.
“… Tell me if you don’t like it while we’re doing it.”
“Mmph.”
Only when the warm flesh invaded his mouth did Yoon Pa-ran understand the meaning of Dan Joo-hyuk’s words. It seemed to be a continuation of his earlier question about whether he disliked doing this.
Unfortunately, Yoon Pa-ran couldn’t contemplate an answer to that question. The sensation of lips meeting after such a long time instantly wiped his mind blank.
“Ugh…”
His eyes closed involuntarily. A faint groan escaped his throat. He wanted to hold it back, but it wasn’t something he could control.
Yoon Pa-ran kept his waist stiff, trying not to get too close to Dan Joo-hyuk. His hands flailed awkwardly in the air, having lost their place. With his eyes closed as well, it felt like being lost in darkness.
Dan Joo-hyuk’s tongue, which had been licking the soft inner part of his mouth, pushed deeper. The playful tapping against the roof of his mouth behind his front teeth made his head spin strangely.
It seemed the problem was that it had been too long since he’d done this. Maybe that’s why it felt even more awkward, as if he had anticipated this.
Yoon Pa-ran’s Adam’s apple kept bobbing as he couldn’t help but swallow his dry saliva. His hands, which had lost their place, moved and unknowingly pressed against Dan Joo-hyuk’s chest.
“Eep!”
Surprised by that firm sensation, Yoon Pa-ran pulled his hand away. As his lips naturally started to part, Dan Joo-hyuk pulled him closer by the hand on his nape.
“Ah… mmph.”
Simultaneously, the hand supporting his waist grabbed Yoon Pa-ran’s elbow and yanked it.
As one arm naturally went over Dan Joo-hyuk’s neck, Yoon Pa-ran’s body tilted. The other arm also stretched out reflexively, resulting in a position where he was embracing his neck.
This made it even harder to resist not touching. His heart was beating so fiercely that it gave him a strange, fluttering sensation.
No matter how much we need this skill, how can we manage such an embarrassing position?
Dan Joo-hyuk’s hand on his waist gently caressed back and forth between his waist and back. The heat from his palm was clearly felt even through his clothes. Perhaps because of this, the strength kept draining from his body.
Dan Joo-hyuk’s tongue, which had been carefully probing, now became quite persistent. It moved tenaciously, trying to entwine with Yoon Pa-ran’s tongue, which was hiding deep inside, unwilling to move.
“Hnn…”
As the strength gradually left Yoon Pa-ran’s body, Dan Joo-hyuk’s body supporting him also slowly slid down the sofa.
Eventually, Yoon Pa-ran found himself clinging like a limpet to Dan Joo-hyuk’s body, which was now half-lying, half-leaning on the sofa.
“Hah, ah…”
His tongue ceaselessly explored Yoon Pa-ran’s mouth. Unable to resist and going limp, Yoon Pa-ran felt pathetic, like melted cheese.
Through their tightly pressed chests, Dan Joo-hyuk’s firm muscles and heartbeat were felt far too clearly.
Or perhaps it was just his own heartbeat.
The sensation in his lower abdomen, which had been subtly twisting all day, now turned into something ticklish that spread throughout his body. As it gnawed at him from the inside, Yoon Pa-ran felt like he was going crazy with impatient anxiety.
The body heat transmitted through his mouth seemed to travel down his body, accumulating from his toes up. As his feet became heavier, his body became even more languid.
With his body pressed against Dan Joo-hyuk’s all the way to their stomachs, the situation with his lower body became difficult. It was when Dan Joo-hyuk moved the tip of his tongue to lightly scratch the roof of his mouth.
“Ngh.”
Yoon Pa-ran unconsciously bucked his hips.
“…”
Dan Joo-hyuk’s tongue, which had been moving restlessly, came to an abrupt stop. Yoon Pa-ran, equally startled, opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened them, Dan Joo-hyuk’s eyes, full of heat, met his gaze.
“Yoon Pa-ran.”
Dan Joo-hyuk, with his eyes curved into crescents, spoke with their lips still half-touching. His breath tickled Yoon Pa-ran’s moistened lips.
“We’re supposed to do this with just kissing, right?”
“Ugh…”
At his voice tinged with amusement, Yoon Pa-ran completely pulled his body back. As if fleeing from the pleasure that had rushed to his lower body just moments ago.
He also unwrapped his arms from around Dan Joo-hyuk’s neck. However, before Yoon Pa-ran could brace himself against the sofa to pull away, Dan Joo-hyuk firmly caught him again.
“Wait…”
“I’ll help you. Let’s do it like this.”
Dan Joo-hyuk folded his captured arms and brought them behind Yoon Pa-ran’s back. In an instant, he was unable to move, as if his hands had been tied behind him.
Not content with this ridiculous act, Dan Joo-hyuk pulled Yoon Pa-ran’s body even closer.
“Ugh.”
Yoon Pa-ran, dragged along, bumped his forehead against Dan Joo-hyuk’s firm shoulder. Dan Joo-hyuk’s voice, still full of amusement, penetrated his ear.
“I have to hold you like this to keep our Yoon Pa-ran’s hips still.”
“Damn it, let go…”
Dan Joo-hyuk, languidly lying on the sofa, whispered while hugging Yoon Pa-ran tightly like a doll. Recognizing the playfulness melted into his mischievous voice, Yoon Pa-ran gritted his teeth with his forehead still pressed against Dan Joo-hyuk’s shoulder.
Far from letting go, Dan Joo-hyuk hugged Yoon Pa-ran tightly several times, as if teasing him. When Yoon Pa-ran deliberately remained motionless, he gently shook his body in that state.
Then, burying his lips in Yoon Pa-ran’s cheek, he whispered.
“Turn your head this way. Okay?”
“…”
His voice was so soft that it made his eardrums feel itchy.
Normally, he would have at least snorted, but there was a big problem. The ticklish sensation that had filled his body from the earlier kiss seemed to respond to his voice, writhing inside him.
He didn’t want to do as Dan Joo-hyuk wished, but it was also hard to endure him poking his cheek with his high nose. Eventually, Yoon Pa-ran hesitantly raised his head slightly.
… The skill percentage probably hasn’t filled up yet, so I have no choice.
“That’s a good boy.”
Dan Joo-hyuk smiled brightly as he pressed his lips to Yoon Pa-ran’s again. It looked like the happiest expression he’d seen today, which made him feel frustrated.
He’s enjoying this because of that damn quest, but strangely, he couldn’t take his eyes off Dan Joo-hyuk’s face.
“Hnn…”
Is it really that fun? While it’s nothing but trouble for me.
It was surely for trivial reasons like wondering how long it would take to raise the percentage with just kissing, or curiosity about the hidden text in his status window. Yoon Pa-ran was now familiar with Dan Joo-hyuk’s behavior patterns.
So there was no need for him to worry about the unnecessary sensations he was feeling. It was just pleasure and just a kiss, after all.
As Dan Joo-hyuk had told him long ago.
