Chapter 13
He was about to tell him to get lost, but a cool energy flowed in from his captured jaw. For a moment, his breath caught. For some reason, the pain was weakening where the energy passed through. Even the skin touching him was calming down.
This, he absolutely couldn’t let go. He had to hold on no matter what. His instincts were telling him so. Following his instincts, Seo Won pulled Baek Rak’s nape and clung to him.
The wider the area where bare skin touched, the more he could feel the pain fading—how could he give up? It felt like he had been submerged in the deep sea and was finally being pulled up. He had no choice but to cling desperately so as not to lose his only lifeline.
“Hng…… more, more.”
But no matter what he did, the thirst wasn’t quenched. It was just lacking and lacking.
“Urgh, heu, please.”
To get even closer to Baek Rak, he put his hands inside his shirt and embraced his lower back. But even that felt insufficient. He rubbed his face against his nape and pressed their bodies together without any gaps.
Watching Seo Won, who didn’t know what he was saying or how he was moving his body, Baek Rak asked quietly,
“You don’t want to be in pain, right?”
What kind of question was that?
He wanted to shout exactly that right away, but reducing the pain came first. Seo Won desperately embraced Baek Rak. But Baek Rak grabbed Seo Won’s shoulders and pulled him away.
“Then there’s something you have to do with me.”
“What is it, hurry…… ah, urgh.”
At the indirect acceptance, Baek Rak threw off both his and Seo Won’s t-shirts. However, Seo Won seemed unable to wait even a moment and was eager to approach. As if rewarding that response, when he embraced Seo Won, a satisfied sigh burst out.
“Haah.”
When Baek Rak’s hand lightly stroked up Seo Won’s waist, Seo Won trembled and pressed even closer. The way even his skin was trembling showed how extreme the pain he was feeling right now.
After feeling that sensation a few more times, Baek Rak quietly dropped a bomb.
“Sex.”
Instantly, the hand that had been frantically caressing Baek Rak’s back stopped dead. Seo Won belatedly came to his senses and pushed Baek Rak away.
“What, urgh.”
However, Baek Rak didn’t budge. No matter how much he pushed and tried to pull away, only his own strength was drained—he couldn’t get away or escape. But the problem was that the energy that dulled the pain continued to flow in from their touching skin.
“Ha.”
Seo Won, who had unconsciously tried to embrace Baek Rak again, flinched and stiffened his body.
No, don’t do it. Get a grip! Seo Won clenched his fists and constantly shouted internally. After hearing that he had to do that with Baek Rak, he couldn’t reach out to him.
How could he unless he was crazy? It was absurd.
“When you touch me, the pain lessens, right?”
To Baek Rak’s question, asked as if he knew everything, Seo Won couldn’t give any answer. Because the pain had indeed decreased as he said. Perhaps because of that, instinct and reason alternately made his head dizzy.
He didn’t want to touch but wanted to touch. He wanted to touch but didn’t want to touch. His pupils shook aimlessly at his wavering heart.
“But that won’t be enough. To stabilize the energy that went into you……”
Baek Rak’s hand slowly moved down past his side to below his lower back. Then it slipped between his slightly open waistband and lightly caressed his tailbone.
“You have to receive mine.”
What? Seo Won gasped for a moment.
He thought he had misheard, but Baek Rak’s hand was still stroking around his buttocks. At the chilling goosebumps, he grabbed the guy’s hand and roughly pulled it out.
‘What are you doing? Receive what? Are you sane?’
He should stop talking nonsense. Unless he was crazy, he couldn’t spout such things. Looking so normal on the outside, who knew he’d be a perverted bastard. What little trust remained seemed to shatter completely.
He twisted his body wildly trying to escape from him. He tried to remove the hand holding his waist, pushed, and hit his shoulders with all his might. In the process, his body trembled at the energy flowing from where they touched.
Gritting his teeth, he resisted even more, but his strength gradually began to drain. Eventually, unable to hold out much longer, he collapsed with a thud.
Baek Rak caught his weakened body and chuckled.
“Well, nothing beats experience.”
Puzzled by the meaningful words, Baek Rak embraced Seo Won tightly in both arms. Suppressing the instinct to embrace him back, he focused on the diminishing pain. Anyway, touching Baek Rak did make the pain gradually disappear. But as time passed, something felt strange.
Their skin was definitely touching without any gaps. He could feel Baek Rak’s energy coming in through his tingling skin. But why, how come.
“Huk, urgh……”
The pain was getting worse and worse?
Like a volcano erupting lava, the pain explosively increased. As if annoyed at being suppressed even briefly, it rebelled. The energy flowing from Baek Rak was just a light drizzle. That much couldn’t quell the lava.
It felt like his organs were being torn and burst, his blood vessels and tendons finely severed and squeezed. His whole body trembled at the pain that kept getting more vicious without knowing limits. Even breathing became difficult, so no screams came out.
Forgetting that he had just tried to escape, Seo Won clung to Baek Rak. Knowing a way to feel better, he reached out and embraced his body, but no matter how closely they pressed together, the pain didn’t decrease.
Suddenly his mind went blank white and his vision went dark. But as if not allowing even that, his vision flashed again and returned.
“Heok.”
Gasping roughly as he inhaled the stopped breath, this time his vision flickered black. And again his vision returned. The fuse in his head repeatedly went out and came back on several times.
At that moment when he could no longer endure and felt like he would pass out.
“Eut.”
Something touched his lips. Something soft and tender.
Before he could even feel the warm breath, something moist pushed in, parting his lips. He couldn’t understand what was happening. But one thing was certain—the pain was subsiding from his lips. More strongly than when their skin touched.
“……Heup!”
Every time the flesh rummaging inside his mouth touched his mucous membrane, it felt like sedatives were being administered. Seo Won desperately rushed toward that small hope.
The soft, moist sensation felt on his lips, and the refreshing energy flowing through it, were so tantalizing that he kept getting restless.
He burrowed in deep enough to crush his nose and devoured him. When their wet tongues touched and he sucked on it, wet sounds flowed out. Each time, energy surged over. Just a little more, just a little more.
Clinging frantically and embracing Baek Rak tightly, suddenly their bodies that had been pressed together without gaps separated with a start.
“Cough, huk, huk, urgh.”
“This is also a temporary measure.”
Before he knew it, his moistly wet eyes blurred his vision. His sight wavered hazily, making Baek Rak’s face hard to see.
“Heu, heu……”
“What will you do?”
Seo Won weakly flailed his arms and barely managed to grab onto Baek Rak. The tears that had filled his eyes fell with a plop and ran down Baek Rak’s chest. It was like a heart that could no longer endure and finally fell.
Baek Rak pulled Seo Won, who had lost vitality like a broken flower, into his arms.
“Yoon Seo Won.”
“Hu, eu, euu.”
When there was no answer, Seo Won’s name was called several more times. Seo Won, who had been gasping alone and curled up, finally lifted his head with difficulty.
Seeing how the pain decreased as skinship deepened, what Baek Rak said might really be true. He had thought it was absurd, but everything he had experienced so far was absurd.
Why hadn’t Baek Rak told him this fact beforehand? Had he hidden it in case he got scared and ran away? Or because he didn’t feel the need to tell him?
For whatever reason, the fact that he wasn’t respected by this guy remained unchanged.
How can this be? How can this be possible? That bastard…… I was still trying to get along well. He only said he’d make me a Hunter. He didn’t say it would hurt like this.
For him, who had fallen alone in an unknown place with only this guy to trust, it was too cruel.
Why did he have to meet Baek Rak, why couldn’t he give up his attachment to life? He regretted being foolish and foolish again for just being dragged around.
“Really…… too much.”
It was both words directed at Baek Rak and words to himself.
Seo Won let the tears that kept welling up flow and hung his head. He was sad that it was still painful, and he hated himself for wanting this guy when reason was devoured by instinct. Even now, he was just barely enduring.
Baek Rak again presented the only choice available.
What would he do?
“I don’t…… want to, do it.”
“……”
“Heu, heuk. I don’t…… want to do it.”
Even though tears kept falling, his vision was still hazy as if he were underwater. Now he couldn’t even tell if he was holding onto the guy by his own will. Like he had no choice, maybe he had no will either.
“Ah…… haeu, urgh, euu.”
As if even thinking was a luxury, the pain continued to gnaw at his reason. His head hurt like it was splitting, as if being branded with hot irons everywhere.
Rather, like this, if he endured in this state, someday…….
