“Accessory-type items are pretty indeed.”
“…”
Yoon Pa-ran leaned forward, trying to create distance between himself and Dan Joo-hyuk. However, the large figure clinging to his back like a barnacle didn’t let go and instead pressed closer.
Yoon Pa-ran suddenly recalled the equipment Dan Joo-hyuk wore when going to gates. Having been to so many gates together, he couldn’t help but become familiar with the other’s equipment status, even if he didn’t want to.
Unlike other S-rank hunters, he didn’t use accessory-type equipment. Even though there were so many useful ones here.
Is it because he’s worried they might break during close combat? But Dan Joo-hyuk doesn’t seem like someone who would care about that.
“If you think they’re pretty, isn’t it a waste to leave them here unused?”
“… Because they’re pretty, I should be the only one to see them.”
“I doubt that.”
Yoon Pa-ran couldn’t understand. Is it because he has an excess of ability, so he’s not interested in improving equipment specs?
He seems to have an intense desire for skills, though. It’s strange.
“Ugh.”
Suddenly, as if throwing a tantrum, Dan Joo-hyuk tightened his arms around Yoon Pa-ran. In response to this breath-stopping prank, Yoon Pa-ran didn’t hold back and kicked Dan Joo-hyuk’s shin with his heel.
“Let go!”
“Try using the skill quickly.”
The tightening arm strength lessened a bit. Yoon Pa-ran sighed lightly at Dan Joo-hyuk, who ignored his request to let go.
Then he just started opening the status windows of the accessories one by one. Since it had come to this, he might as well take his time looking at the items. Who knows when he’d be able to enter this place again, and he was curious too.
Yoon Pa-ran diligently used the [Sacred Energy] skill on all the items. However, none of the equipment showed any noticeable changes.
By the way, the performance of these items was uniformly good, as expected of accessory-type equipment. Some were A-rank, with such amazing supporting stats that his mouth fell open in awe.
As Dan Joo-hyuk had said, all curses had been removed. Given his rank, he shouldn’t have needed to waste precious blessing fragments to remove curses.
“Why did you remove all the curses? And I said let go.”
Especially for A-rank accessory equipment, removing the curse would have consumed a considerable amount of blessing fragments. While there probably wouldn’t be any thieves bold enough to break into an S-rank’s home, it was still unusual that he hadn’t left the curses for security purposes.
Dan Joo-hyuk rested his chin on Yoon Pa-ran’s shoulder and answered lightly.
“Just because they bothered me.”
“…”
It was an answer that made Yoon Pa-ran newly aware of Dan Joo-hyuk’s wealth.
Yoon Pa-ran didn’t respond further and continued examining the items. Dan Joo-hyuk quietly waited as he wrapped each item with [Sacred Energy] until the last one.
When all actions were finished, Dan Joo-hyuk led Yoon Pa-ran to the velvet table in the center of the room.
Thinking he might finally remove all these psychologically heavy things, Yoon Pa-ran followed obediently. However, Dan Joo-hyuk unexpectedly grabbed Yoon Pa-ran’s waist and lifted him up.
“What the-”
Yoon Pa-ran frowned as he found himself sitting on the table. The equipment dangling uncomfortably since earlier made his body stiffen automatically.
Dan Joo-hyuk stepped between his legs, coming close. As if trapping him, he placed both hands on the table and leaned in, then casually suggested:
“How about trying to activate the skill while kissing?”
“What?”
It was an unexpected proposal. Before Yoon Pa-ran could say anything, Dan Joo-hyuk lowered his head.
“Mmph.”
The moist sensation on his neck was ticklish. Hunching his shoulders, Yoon Pa-ran urgently pushed against Dan Joo-hyuk’s shoulders.
However, when he heard the bracelets clashing as he pushed forcefully, Yoon Pa-ran stopped abruptly.
Even though they were equipment items, they probably wouldn’t get scratched from falling on the floor. But an A-rank item colliding with a C-rank item was different.
Seeing the hard edges of the A-rank equipment worn all over his body, Yoon Pa-ran suddenly became extremely tense.
It would be troublesome if they got scratched.
“Hey, what are you-”
“Ah.”
Dan Joo-hyuk answered with his head still lowered, not stopping his actions of nibbling on the other’s neck with his lips.
“If we do it while in contact, maybe the medium will reveal itself. Your skill has a bit of a lewd aspect to it, after all.”
“Damn it, ngh…!”
Yoon Pa-ran let out a frustrated exclamation at Dan Joo-hyuk’s playful words. He was even more frustrated because he couldn’t refute them.
Strangely, he felt as if his limbs were tightly bound. Even the sensation of his pants rubbing against the velvet cloth felt somehow stifling.
Swallowing dryly, Yoon Pa-ran turned his head away from Dan Joo-hyuk and asked:
“Still, does it have to be now?”
At that question, Dan Joo-hyuk, who had been nibbling on his neck like a large dog, suddenly stopped.
Only his calm breath could be felt on the neck, making it even more ticklish.
“You don’t want to?”
The question that came after a while strangely left Yoon Pa-ran at a loss for words. His first realization was that he didn’t dislike it, but he was somehow afraid of those words spilling out of his lips.
Interpreting Yoon Pa-ran’s silence in some way, Dan Joo-hyuk quietly moved his head. His lips settled on the neck again.
“… I’m planning to enter a gate on Christmas.”
“Ngh… The one you filled two days ago?”
“It’s already gone.”
When did he go into a gate again?
It was quite puzzling as Dan Joo-hyuk had contacted him quite often over the past two days. However, knowing that he could go and come back in just a few hours, Yoon Pa-ran didn’t doubt much.
Anyway, Dan Joo-hyuk’s intention was clear. To find the medium, they might really need to do something lewd. Incidentally, he’s about to enter a gate soon, so it’s a rational proposal to fill up on skills.
It’s truly rational, but for some reason, it was incredibly frustrating.
“Ngh, at least take this off…”
Yoon Pa-ran reached for the A-rank bracelet on his left hand, which was hindering his movement the most. If they had to do this anyway, he thought they should at least be comfortable.
However, Dan Joo-hyuk quickly reached out and interlocked their fingers.
“Let’s just do it like this.”
Their eyes met as Dan Joo-hyuk lifted his head from Yoon Pa-ran’s neck. The distance was still too close, to the point where they could feel each other’s breath.
Their intertwined hands slowly settled on the table. Following this, Yoon Pa-ran’s body leaned back slightly.
As that slow movement continued, Yoon Pa-ran felt a growing thirst. After looking down at him in that state for a while, Dan Joo-hyuk slowly lowered his head.
Still not letting go of his hand, he pressed their lips together.
“Mm…”
Like a gentle knock, their lips touched and parted repeatedly. With each touch, Yoon Pa-ran reacted sensitively to the moist sensation of their lips.
At some point, Dan Joo-hyuk’s hot tongue parted Yoon Pa-ran’s lips and entered. The tongue that slowly licked his front teeth gradually delved deeper into Yoon Pa-ran.
Each time, it felt like he was drinking Dan Joo-hyuk’s body heat through his mouth. Those fiery sensations that dripped down his throat diligently conquered his lower abdomen, making it ache.
When that hot sensation had built up to somewhere near his solar plexus:
“Ngh.”
There was a long finger that tapped that spot.
Dan Joo-hyuk’s hand, which had been tapping near his chest, slowly moved down Yoon Pa-ran’s body. In the meantime, the jewels hanging on his body caught on his hand, making clear sounds.
Occasionally, when a jewel abruptly stopped the finger’s progress, Yoon Pa-ran’s body would twitch greatly in response. As if telling him to feel the fireball that had passed from him, the finger continued to move downward.
Eventually, Dan Joo-hyuk’s long finger reached the front of Yoon Pa-ran’s pants and pressed firmly against his private area.
“Haa…”
The finger quickly undid Yoon Pa-ran’s pants. His dick was already beginning to harden and stiffen. When it was freed from its confinement, his waist trembled slightly.
Although he was still wearing underwear, it felt cool. This was because his whole body was burning hot from the fireball Dan Joo-hyuk had passed through his mouth.
The finger that had paused briefly began to tease Yoon Pa-ran’s lower region again. Whether intentional or not, it circled around on top of the underwear without pulling it down.
The fingertip that had been slowly moving along the hardened dick began to press and circle around the tip.
“Ah…”
“…”
Yoon Pa-ran unconsciously let out a sigh at the pleasant pressure. Even the hand that wasn’t interlocked remained placed on the table.
Dan Joo-hyuk had already released their lips and was gazing intently at Yoon Pa-ran. His hand continued to torment Yoon Pa-ran’s dick over the underwear.
Until a dark spot formed on the underwear from the precum flowing from the tip of the erect dick.
“…”
After staring at it for a moment, Dan Joo-hyuk abruptly lifted Yoon Pa-ran, who had been half-lying on the table.
“Yoon Pa-ran.”
“Nngh.”
In that state, he turned Yoon Pa-ran to face the front. As they both faced the velvet table, he embraced Yoon Pa-ran from behind.
“Stand on my feet.”
