Chapter 25
Now that he was in a good mood, Taeri started teasing Juha.
When Juha tried to push him away roughly, Taeri instead grabbed both of Juha’s arms and laid him down on the bed. In the middle of their fight, Juha was suddenly pinned beneath Taeri.
As their bodies touched, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.
“What, what?”
Juha hurriedly avoided his gaze. If he made eye contact, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to control his heartbeat.
“Lee Juha, why do you make me so upset?”
Taeri’s tone was so sweet that for a moment, his anger seemed like it would melt away. With Taeri’s sweet scent and breath so close, Juha closed his eyes and controlled his emotions.
‘I can’t fall for it again.’
Juha pushed Taeri away roughly and bolted upright.
“So you researched because you wanted to do it with me?”
“Yeah.”
When were they yelling and fighting? Now Choi Taeri was nodding like a gentle puppy again. He seemed extremely pleased to have been told he was good at it. And though not visible to the eye, his shoulders seemed to be reaching sky-high too.
Still, it was absurd. If that was the case, it was fair to say that Taeri had set a trap to seduce Juha.
“Why did you think I would do it with you?”
“Because you like me.”
“Ugh, that’s…”
Juha almost answered “Well, that’s true” reflexively.
The fact that Taeri knew his feelings was somewhat shocking. When he thought that Taeri had seduced him while knowing Juha’s heart, anger suddenly surged again.
“Did I look that easy? Easy enough to fall for your seduction?”
After saying it, Juha regretted it again. He had completely fallen for Choi Taeri’s seduction, and now he was asking if he looked easy. This was the first time in Lee Juha’s life that he’d been so blocked in an argument.
“It wasn’t that you looked easy, but because I like you.”
“…What?”
Juha was speechless at the unexpected answer.
“I liked you a lot, from a long time ago.”
Taeri smiled prettily as he confessed. At that expression, Juha’s heart fluttered shamelessly again. When he was angry earlier, he had that characteristic cold handsome guy aura, but now that he was in a good mood, he was bombarding him with that smile again.
“You, you, I’ve only known you for two weeks. What do you mean a long time ago?”
“That’s not true. I’ve known you for a year.”
“What?”
What was he talking about now?
“Last year when I got a scouting offer from Serona Entertainment and went to check it out, I saw you.”
“Wait, you saw me?”
“Yeah. I saw you dancing with the debut group too. I fell for you then, and when I saw you again here, I started pursuing you.”
Taeri laughed like a dog who had found its owner.
“So, you started liking me a year ago when you saw me at the Serona practice room, then came here and met me again, gradually pursued me while researching what to do, and succeeded?”
“Yeah.”
Ah…
Juha held his head. Only now did he realize that all of Taeri’s teasing that had tormented him had been sincere.
Lying on the same bed at night and wrapping his arms around Juha’s stomach, covering him with blankets, poking his cheek, grabbing his wrist and pulling him along. Come to think of it, it wasn’t Juha getting carried away alone – it was Choi Taeri’s perfect seduction.
“Lee Juha, can’t you accept me?”
“Accept what?”
Feeling wronged, Juha bristled like a sensitive cat.
“Things like this.”
Taeri stepped closer without caring and lightly kissed Juha’s lips.
“What!”
When Juha stepped back in shock, Taeri pulled his arm sharply.
“And things like this.”
After whispering at close distance, Taeri’s tongue parted Juha’s lips. Reluctantly, Juha’s lips opened slightly.
“Don’t, don’t, mmph, stop.”
Though Juha struggled, his lips were sucked without a chance to refuse.
“Haah, I was really upset. You wouldn’t answer no matter how much I called. I had so much to tell you.”
“Don’t, mmph, I said stop.”
Even when he turned his head away, Taeri’s lips persistently chased after Juha with sucking sounds.
“Just, let me stay by your side. Okay? Don’t throw tantrums. You only need to like me a little.”
At Taeri’s words, Juha looked at him for a moment. Since they were in the middle of trying to kiss, their faces were close.
“You said I only need to like you a little?”
“A little more.”
Taeri laughed low and kissed Juha softly.
Choi Taeri climbed on top of Juha’s body and devoured his lips.
Even without being told to open his mouth, Juha’s mouth opened as if enchanted. Like a waterfall pouring down, Taeri’s tongue flowed endlessly into his mouth. With his eyes closed and accepting it, their lips collided frantically.
Even the way his consciousness became hazy from breathlessness was frighteningly good.
“Mmm…”
A moan naturally flowed from Juha’s mouth. Given Taeri’s personality, he expected him to rush in roughly, but surprisingly his movements were calm. He quietly sucked on his lips and gently soothed with his tongue as he swept through Juha’s mouth. Every time Taeri’s tongue touched him, Juha’s body flinched. He had thought it was just moist flesh, but Taeri’s lips had the power to empty his head.
All of Juha’s worries from the past few days – avoiding him, getting irritated, pulling his hair out – were all resolved by this kiss.
Even though it started with an absurd emotional fight, it was ridiculous how easily it was resolved.
Honestly, while avoiding Choi Taeri these past few days, Juha had paradoxically recalled their night together. It had been a night where everything was good, and every time he thought of the first kiss they’d shared frantically after being dragged out of the bathroom, his whole body would tremble.
Now seeing that same man gently sweeping through every corner of his mouth, he was unbearably cute.
Though they had removed all the cameras, being in a space accustomed to being observed created a strange excitement. Perhaps in Lee Juha’s twenty short years of life full of restraint, Choi Taeri was the first person to open a different world and awaken possibilities and new preferences.
He didn’t want to judge whether it was right. He just liked Choi Taeri’s sweet lips and his scent whenever he held him.
After experiencing such pleasure, he felt like he could never avoid or reject Choi Taeri again.
Facing all these emotions, Juha caressed both of Taeri’s cheeks throughout the kiss. How could lips that had been spewing anger just 5 minutes ago become so sweet in an instant?
The two held each other for a long time, sucking each other’s lips tirelessly. It was impossible to gauge how many minutes had passed. During that time, Taeri’s hands trembled and clenched into fists repeatedly several times. He clearly seemed desperate to do something more. Still, seeing him endure until now was admirable, and the way he struggled to block his instincts was somewhat pitiful.
Taeri carefully pulled his lips away and moved close to Juha’s ear.
“Lee Juha, answer me. Was I that good? Hm?”
Laughter was embedded in Taeri’s voice as he asked his mischievous question. This bastard was starting to tease again. Thinking about how he had fought and made a fuss asking why he was so good, Juha wanted to hide.
“N, no.”
“Why not? You were so angry earlier. Be honest. Did you fall for me because I was too good?”
It was an annoying question, but Juha’s heart fluttered shamelessly.
“Stop, stop it.”
Juha turned his head away, but Taeri pressed down on Juha’s body and teased him.
“What do you like most about me? Tell me. Hm?”
Taeri lowered his voice to a whisper with a sly smile. Juha’s vision was filled with Taeri’s handsome face.
“Your face.”
Without hesitation, Juha answered shortly. Though it sounded insincere, it was the truth. The reason he especially liked Taeri’s face was because it made him feel good just looking at it.
It wasn’t just because he was handsome. Since Lee Juha had clearly fallen for him, his heart fluttered just from seeing his face or making eye contact. Actually, Juha’s heart raced even just seeing Taeri’s back.
“Lee Juha, you’re face-obsessed…”
“It’s not like that.”
Juha shook his head as if embarrassed.
“Then tell me. What did I do so well that night? What did you like most?”
At Taeri’s question as he rubbed against him, Juha thought for a moment. It had been a night where everything was good, so it was hard to pick just one thing, but what he liked most was…
“…Kissing.”
When Juha answered, Taeri’s lips instantly came closer.
“Then I’ll have to do it for you.”
As soon as the sweet whisper ended, Taeri began kissing him again, pressing down on his lips.
Choi Taeri really had an amazing talent for lifting people up and putting them down. Moreover, he was unbelievably good at kissing. It seemed like he could even wrap up an escaping soul with his tongue and bring it back.
After being pinned under Taeri for over 30 minutes, Juha started getting stuffy. Not only was the weight of Taeri’s frame considerable, but having his lips blocked the whole time made him short of breath.
Juha gradually twisted his body looking for breathing room.
“Mm, mmm…”
“Why?”
At Juha’s moan, Taeri’s lips briefly pulled away.
“Haah, haah. Being pinned down is stuffy.”
“Then come on top.”
Taeri’s solution was simple. As soon as he finished speaking, Taeri rolled to the side and lifted Juha on top. It was practically judo athlete-level skill.
Having suddenly come on top of Taeri, Juha’s face immediately flushed when he looked at him. Seeing Choi Taeri, who had been looking down at him from above like a predator, now lying beneath him was strangely exciting.
Not knowing what to do and avoiding his eyes, Lee Juha looked so pretty that Taeri pulled his neck down and kissed him.
“Mmph…”
The sense of conquest from kissing while pressing down on Choi Taeri from above was tremendous. Being able to suck any part of Taeri’s lips he wanted and sweep his tongue across every part of his mouth’s mucous membrane was quite thrilling. Moreover, Choi Taeri trembling his long eyelashes whenever he touched weak spots was truly a sight to behold.
He had never imagined that seeing someone he thought was only strong being helplessly overwhelmed would be so satisfying and exciting.
“Haah, Lee Juha. I really like this.”
Taeri opened his eyes and spoke. Without any worry or thought, the words that just came out were “I really like Lee Juha.” Even just staying still, Juha’s mouth corners rose.
Looking down at Taeri from above, he wanted to capture and treasure every moment in photos.
“Tell me too.”
“Hm? Tell you what?”
Juha asked back at Taeri’s words.
“That you like me.”
Juha hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t because he didn’t like Choi Taeri that he hesitated. Rather, he was a bit afraid of the emotions that would crash over him when he said it out loud.
Because once those words came out of his mouth, the relationship would be irreversible.
“Won’t you tell me…”
“I like you. Choi Taeri.”
But the hesitation was momentary, and the answer was firm. Now that he knew their desperate hearts were mutual, Juha wanted to savor this moment. And he wanted to give Taeri certainty. He didn’t want to feel anxious anymore, nor did he want to make Taeri anxious.
At Juha’s confession, Taeri’s mouth corners soared sky-high. Seeing him so happy, he felt sorry for hesitating even briefly.
“I like you too. Lee Juha. I like you so much!”
“I like you too. Choi Taeri. Very much.”
Juha smiled contentedly and declared.
After exchanging confessions once each, the whole world became cozy as if dyed in pink. No matter how much he looked, he couldn’t believe the man lying beneath him was Choi Taeri. It wasn’t just because his features were handsome. This man had the magic to make people’s hearts flutter just by existing.
“Lee Juha, but do you know something?”
Taeri brought up something as if he had remembered. Judging by his expression, he was ready to tease again.
“What?”
“You’re really sexy when you curse.”
Taeri laughed and kissed him softly. Juha received that cute kiss while recalling what happened earlier.
Juha wasn’t usually one to curse much, but as his emotions toward Taeri intensified, profanity had slipped out without him knowing.
Seeing him smile like that even after being called a “crazy bastard,” Choi Taeri was definitely crazy.
“If that was your preference, you should have told me earlier. I could have done more.”
This time Juha spoke teasingly and kissed Taeri softly.
Ah, it wasn’t enough. He wanted to tease Choi Taeri more and watch him pout, but these lips weren’t satisfied no matter how much he explored them.
Taeri blushed as if embarrassed. Juha sucked on Taeri’s lips for a long time before spitting them out with a pop. He even thought that Taeri’s lips might be the softest and weakest part of his body.
“If you like being cursed at that much, should I do it every day? Often? Hm?”
“Mm… not often. Sometimes…”
Taeri’s eyelashes lowered shyly as he answered Juha’s mischievous question.
