After bringing Yoon Pa-ran from the orphanage, Dan Joo-hyuk had desperately maintained his composure. But after feeding Yoon Pa-ran until he was full, the irritating sensation rose so intensely that he could no longer endure it.
Dan Joo-hyuk had almost killed the man who was openly flirting with Yoon Pa-ran. If he hadn’t hesitated out of concern that Yoon Pa-ran would be shocked by his actions, there would certainly have been bloodshed.
Even now, the urge to secretly remove that man from Yoon Pa-ran’s vicinity was overwhelming. However, Yoon Pa-ran paid considerable attention to the security company protecting the orphanage. Knowing that Yoon Pa-ran would definitely notice the man’s absence, Dan Joo-hyuk couldn’t do anything.
Because of this, intense impulses kept surging within him. Above all, he felt he had no right to directly ask about what had happened earlier.
“With something like this, we can confidently experiment with the government. I don’t think it can be misused.”
“…Yes.”
No, actually none of that mattered. Abandoning his feeble pretense of being nice, Dan Joo-hyuk simply fixed his gaze on that pale face.
“I wonder if there’s a way to repair the sacred statues? When we secure more statues later, I should suggest it.”
“…”
Yoon Pa-ran was quite dull about these things. Dan Joo-hyuk didn’t want to say anything that might make Yoon Pa-ran newly conscious of that man from earlier.
On the other hand, he wanted to ask directly. How on earth did they end up having that kind of conversation?
Unable to do either and just suffering internally, his stomach actually began to feel queasy.
“Hmm… I should rest now. Go back, take a nap…”
As Yoon Pa-ran leaned back on the sofa while speaking, Dan Joo-hyuk’s attention snapped back. He resentfully stared at those plump lips that kept talking about going back, when Yoon Pa-ran could just take a nap here.
Since Dan Joo-hyuk had unconsciously sat very close to Yoon Pa-ran, when Yoon Pa-ran leaned back against the sofa, they became even closer, as if he were leaning against Dan Joo-hyuk. At that small contact, faced with Yoon Pa-ran’s completely defenseless expression, Dan Joo-hyuk’s self-control quickly reached its limit.
Yoon Pa-ran had worn exactly that same expression earlier. In front of that man, even while hearing such words, without showing any sign of displeasure.
“Should we take a day off tomorrow? Oh, right. Minister Byeon…”
Like a dam bursting, everything inside spilled out. Though he didn’t want to reveal these ugly feelings, Dan Joo-hyuk couldn’t help but ask Yoon Pa-ran.
“That employee from earlier, what was that about?”
“Huh? …Oh. He asked me to see a movie.”
“…A movie.”
When Dan Joo-hyuk suddenly asked a question completely unrelated to the context, Yoon Pa-ran opened his eyes wide in surprise. Hearing that the man had asked to see a movie, Dan Joo-hyuk’s mood crumpled like thin paper.
I haven’t even seen a movie with Yoon Pa-ran yet.
‘Yes. I’m gay.’
The man’s tactics kept heating up Dan Joo-hyuk’s head. That attitude, so boldly speaking to Yoon Pa-ran, was irritating.
…Yoon Pa-ran is naturally heterosexual, so why.
“He’s suddenly a strange person. You should stay away from him.”
Even trying to remind himself of that fact, Dan Joo-hyuk wasn’t at ease.
Just as it had happened to him, who knew what might happen to Yoon Pa-ran? After all, even when mixing bodies with him, Yoon Pa-ran showed no aversion.
His stomach stung as if someone had grabbed his insides.
“I already rejected him. I’m not interested.”
Fortunately, Yoon Pa-ran said what Dan Joo-hyuk wanted to hear. Still, looking at his blank expression, Dan Joo-hyuk worried whether Yoon Pa-ran would properly reject if that man flirted again.
“You did well.”
Unconsciously stroking the pale cheek, Dan Joo-hyuk whispered softly. Recently it had become difficult to restrain himself, and despite trying, he would find himself touching Yoon Pa-ran at some point without realizing.
“Yeah…”
Just then, Yoon Pa-ran half-closed his eyes and completely relaxed his neck.
“…”
Like a kid who hadn’t even had his first experience, Dan Joo-hyuk quietly swallowed. His hand, which had intended to just brush the cheek once and withdraw, continued moving over the white, soft skin.
As if the cheek and hand were magnets, he simply couldn’t pull his hand away. From the cheek to the earlobe, and then to the nape.
“Hah…”
“…”
For some reason, quietly accepting those touches, Yoon Pa-ran gradually relaxed his body. Swallowing dryly once more, Dan Joo-hyuk, as if entranced, moved his remaining hand to feel around Yoon Pa-ran’s waist.
His body moving on its own felt awkward. His heart was beating so violently that he thought Yoon Pa-ran might hear it.
“Yoon Pa-ran.”
“Mmm…”
At that docile response, his heart pounded again. Finally, Dan Joo-hyuk impulsively lowered his head.
Seeking Yoon Pa-ran’s lips that he had been conscious of all along.
“Ah…”
Despite the sudden action, Yoon Pa-ran closed his eyes without any resistance. As the gaze directed at him disappeared, Dan Joo-hyuk’s impulse threatened to run even more ferociously.
The hand gripping the waist gradually tightened. He resisted the urge to pull Yoon Pa-ran onto his lap right away.
After roaming the hot mouth several times, he barely regained his senses.
“Yoon Pa-ran.”
His voice, trying to hide his longing, flowed out so pathetically that Dan Joo-hyuk was frustrated.
At this rate, he felt he would become a fool who gets nervous just from Yoon Pa-ran looking at him. Since realizing his feelings, these childish symptoms had become more serious with each passing day.
But today, Yoon Pa-ran’s behavior was a bit strange. Normally, he would have innocently poked Dan Joo-hyuk’s chest, asking if he needed skills.
“Mmm…”
Even though Dan Joo-hyuk had only called his name, Yoon Pa-ran responded like a sigh.
The moist sensation contained in that voice made Dan Joo-hyuk focus all his nerves.
“…”
Could it be that he too was somewhat aroused?
Again, as if entranced, his head was drawn to Yoon Pa-ran. As he penetrated between the naturally parted plump lips, Dan Joo-hyuk struggled to control his instincts that kept trying to run wild.
He just wanted to forever lick, suck, and melt Yoon Pa-ran’s lips. Even if Yoon Pa-ran pushed him away out of breathlessness, he didn’t want to separate.
“…”
However, Yoon Pa-ran’s increasingly tired appearance today kept cooling Dan Joo-hyuk’s head. Not wanting to push him recklessly, Dan Joo-hyuk barely managed to pull his lips away.
As if measuring his longing, he stopped just short of Yoon Pa-ran’s lips and calmly enjoyed his breathing. Yoon Pa-ran’s slightly softened demeanor planted a small, fiery hope in Dan Joo-hyuk’s chest.
In the end, Dan Joo-hyuk wanted to subtly resolve the sense of crisis he had been feeling, so he pulled his lips away. Unfortunately, that man wasn’t just some passing nobody.
Yoon Pa-ran, with his soft nature, was quite kind to the security company people protecting the orphanage. If that man targeted that softness and clung to Yoon Pa-ran, Dan Joo-hyuk was endlessly worried that Yoon Pa-ran might be swept along.
“…In the future, reject all such things.”
“Ah.”
However, Yoon Pa-ran, who Dan Joo-hyuk thought would answer casually, suddenly rolled his eyes slightly.
At that action of not answering immediately, Dan Joo-hyuk’s mind snapped to attention as if he’d been doused with ice water.
“What’s wrong? Did you develop interest in someone? That guy from earlier?”
“No, it’s not that.”
Speaking slowly, Yoon Pa-ran stared directly at Dan Joo-hyuk’s face.
A languid feeling had come over him for the first time in a while, making his mind hazy. The ticklish feeling in his stomach since earlier also felt somewhat relieved.
So Yoon Pa-ran calmly realized. Ah, I had some accumulated sexual desire.
Originally, his sexual desire was modest. There were things he had postponed because immediate survival issues were so severe.
After meeting Dan Joo-hyuk, he had unintentionally encountered pleasure frequently.
“Then what is it?”
It seemed that a subtle dissatisfaction had built up when that pleasure suddenly stopped.
“What are you thinking about? Hmm?”
Dan Joo-hyuk, sitting beside him, placed both hands on the sofa, trapping Yoon Pa-ran’s body between his arms.
Despite that large shadow looming over him, Yoon Pa-ran didn’t feel particularly wary. Rather, he only felt regret at the slightly distanced body heat.
The ticklish sensations within him, which had seemed to be relieved during the kiss, felt like they were running wild again. Especially after realizing how to resolve this, he felt even more tantalized. He was also frustrated with Dan Joo-hyuk, who kept asking strange questions.
Why wasn’t he acting like usual? Following the abruptly emerging question, Yoon Pa-ran chose words that might move him.
“Just thinking that we don’t know what will happen in the future.”
This reminded him of the beginning of their contract.
‘Between adults, just think of it as enjoying ourselves.’
Dan Joo-hyuk’s words from that time seemed right.
He wondered why he had been so serious about it, as if it were something bad. After experiencing the major gate crisis, he occasionally felt the desire to live more in the present.
As Dan Joo-hyuk said, it wouldn’t be bad to enjoy life more often from now on.
“…What don’t we know about what will happen?”
Dan Joo-hyuk’s voice, low as if he had entered a cave gate, tickled Yoon Pa-ran’s skin.
That sensation was somehow chilling but not frightening. Rather, the feeling of his waist trembling was so intense that Yoon Pa-ran unconsciously leaned his head against Dan Joo-hyuk’s arm.
“I just thought it wouldn’t be bad to enjoy life appropriately when opportunities arise.”
