Tae-rim laughed strangely with a flushed face and whispered sweetly. Ha-min wanted to say something about how nonsensical this was, but his raised leg trembled in the air. He couldn’t focus because Tae-rim’s dick was intensely stimulating one specific area. Their naked bodies intertwined as the bed shook and bodily fluids soaked into the blanket.
“Ah, hyung… That’s enough… Mmm, ahh, mm!”
“But Ha-min, you’re hard again.”
He lowered Ha-min’s leg that he had been supporting and immediately caressed Ha-min’s smooth, hairless dick. He gripped it as if kneading a breast, biting back his words.
“Fuck, even your dick is pretty…”
Tae-rim cursed under his breath, kneading Ha-min’s dick like dough and speeding up his movements. No matter how many times he climaxed, this euphoria, this thirst, couldn’t be quenched. Tae-rim endlessly licked and bit Ha-min’s skin, thrusting until their flesh felt raw. With rougher movements than ever before, Ha-min soon lost his senses and cried out in pleasure.
“Ahh, s-stop, mmm!”
“Why do you keep saying stop when your little guy is standing at attention? Hm?”
He let out a sinister laugh, gripping Ha-min’s chest with one hand and his dick with the other, twisting his head like a coiling snake to devour his lips. Ha-min’s body, trapped by him, could only receive his movements, unable to move.
“Hah, ha… uh, mmm, ack!”
Ha-min cried out in ecstasy, his eyes unfocused. The stimulation felt like it was penetrating his brain, threatening to numb his entire body.
“Ha, haa, ngh, mmm…!”
“Ha…ah.”
The wet sounds of his ejaculate leaking between where their bodies joined were obscene. Not just that, but the squelching of flesh and wordless moans all stimulated each other.
“Haaah…!”
“Ungh!”
Suddenly, a pleasure that felt like it would overwhelm his mind surged. Ha-min’s thighs trembled, and Tae-rim gritted his teeth, taking deep breaths in the afterglow of his climax.
Ha-min lost consciousness immediately after climaxing, and Tae-rim savored the afterglow of their lovemaking for a long time without withdrawing. Satisfaction, and a sense of fullness beyond imagination, dominated him. It was a feeling he always had when having sex with Ha-min. Pleasure that made him lose his reason, and an abnormally overflowing sense of possessiveness.
Tae-rim exhaled heated breaths and embraced Ha-min’s limp, naked body that had lost consciousness. Feeling finally complete, he continued to hold Ha-min for a while. He breathed deeply, filling the longing that had built up over their weeks apart.
**
Perhaps due to the particularly intense and rough lovemaking, Ha-min’s body ached all morning the next day. Even soaking in the hot bath Tae-rim had drawn for him and having Tae-rim massage his limbs all morning didn’t quickly restore his condition.
It was true that he had drunk alcohol yesterday, but last night’s encounter had truly been mind-numbing. There was nothing more to say, considering he had even fainted at the end. Moreover, it was even frightening when something other than semen flowed out of him.
But even then, the pleasure he felt was so honest that it dominated him, preventing any other thoughts. Thanks to that, he momentarily forgot why he had been in a bad mood and what had happened yesterday. Because of last night’s intensity, those things now felt like distant memories.
“Take the day off from your part-time job today.”
It was around the time when Ha-min was eating an apple that Tae-rim had cut into a rabbit shape, sitting on the sofa and looking at internet articles on his smartphone, when a headline on the main page of a portal site caught his attention. ’20-something men caught enjoying drugs at a club in Gangnam, thanks to an anonymous citizen’s report.’ For some reason, the article gave him a sense of déjà vu, and he was about to click to read the full text.
Dressed casually, Tae-rim naturally sat down next to Ha-min and massaged his legs. Ha-min insisted he was fine, but of course, he couldn’t win against Tae-rim. Naturally forgetting about the article, Ha-min put down his phone and, stabbing an apple slice with his fork, handed it to Tae-rim as he answered.
“I already told them I’d take the weekend off.”
“Did you take yesterday off?”
“Ah, yes. I had something to do.”
“Something to do?”
At the casual question, Ha-min hesitated for a moment. But the moment of hesitation was brief.
“Just… a class reunion.”
“A class reunion?”
“Yeah. …But I won’t go again.”
Ha-min said with a briefly refreshed smile. Tae-rim quietly nodded at this, not prying further and changing the subject.
“Then shall we go out today?”
Ha-min was all for his suggestion, but his body wouldn’t cooperate.
“Can’t we just spend today at home?”
As Ha-min smiled awkwardly, showing his still unrecovered physical state, Tae-rim replied with an apologetic face, “Ah, sorry.”
“This is why I tried to go easy yesterday.”
He whispered in a gentle voice and suddenly got up from the sofa. Then he rummaged through the pocket of his jacket hanging on the coat rack. What he pulled out from deep inside was a jewelry case. When Ha-min blinked blankly, not grasping the situation for a moment, Tae-rim sat down beside him again.
“…”
He silently opened the case. Inside was a simple but intricately crafted watch. Ha-min looked at him quietly with wavering eyes. He carefully took out the watch and skillfully fastened it to Ha-min’s left wrist.
“You’ll accept it this time, right?”
He spoke softly, reminding Ha-min of how he had stubbornly refused before. Ha-min looked at the watch wrapped around his wrist with a dazed expression. The beige watch strap smoothly encircled his wrist. Though not as flashy as the one he had received before, it was clean and modern, seeming to match any occasion. It was a design entirely with him in mind.
“But for me to have this…”
He was grateful and touched, but still hesitated about whether he should accept it. It was always difficult to receive something one-sidedly from someone.
“I’d be hurt if you don’t wear it.”
He smiled gently and raised his left arm. On his sturdy wrist was a watch of the same design, differing only in the color of the strap.
“It took longer because I had this custom-made.”
You can’t get this product in Korea. He smiled as if seeking praise and sat on his knees in front of Ha-min, holding his hand with his own hand wearing the same watch. Seeing the same design watches together made them look even more valuable.
“But it’s too expensive… and I haven’t prepared anything…”
While the gift was touching enough to make his heart flutter, it was still burdensome on the other hand. Even to someone unfamiliar with luxury brands, it was clearly an expensive item, not just a cheap accessory, but a custom-ordered watch.
As he was wondering whether to accept it gladly or not, that’s when it happened. An intense gaze fixed on him. Feeling the obvious stare, Ha-min looked questioningly at Tae-rim, who was kneeling in front of him. Staring at him intently, Tae-rim spoke softly.
“…I love you.”
At the sudden confession, Ha-min looked at him as if he had forgotten how to breathe. The moment he heard the confession that passed in an instant, Ha-min felt as if time had stopped. Even the air around him seemed to have frozen. But Tae-rim, in fact, gazed at him calmly, as if he had been waiting to say these words.
And seeing Ha-min’s stunned expression, unable to answer, Tae-rim smiled faintly. The sincere smile felt beautiful. Even the sunlight shining on him sparkled, making the scene even more beautiful and picturesque. The sight overlapped with the image of his younger self that Ha-min had secretly watched and liked when he was young, and a surge of emotion welled up from deep inside his chest. A long flow of time passed in an instant. It felt like he was being compensated for all the emotions of liking, longing for, and loving him from childhood until now, all at once.
“I thought it was an illusory phrase.”
He frankly accepted and acknowledged his feelings.
“I was wrong.”
Only then did Tae-rim understand all of his abnormal behaviors. Only after admitting that he loved Ha-min did everything fall into place like a puzzle. While love could be more persistent and forceful than a pure emotion, the fact that Lee Tae-rim himself loved Song Ha-min was absolutely undeniable.
Ha-min smiled with eyes that looked like they might cry. His wavering eyes curved beautifully. And with a trembling voice, he managed to speak.
“…The couple rings…”
“…”
“…I want to give them to you.”
Ha-min held Tae-rim’s hand tightly, smiling foolishly. It was the only way he could think of to repay him right now, so he barely managed to say it. Tae-rim, not expecting this response, let out an incredulous laugh and softly replied, “Okay.”
With that answer, Ha-min awkwardly opened his arms towards Tae-rim, who was endlessly looking up at him. At Ha-min’s rare show of aegyo, Tae-rim smiled composedly and embraced Ha-min as if he had been waiting for this. And bringing his lips to Ha-min’s ear, he endlessly whispered words of love. I love you, I love you, Ha-min. Saying words he had never said to anyone before, he pulled Ha-min close to his heart. With just one confession, Ha-min was finally able to fully lean on him, letting out all the sorrow and pain he had endured.
In a peaceful space where only the two of them existed, they confessed and whispered their love to each other.
It was the story of an exceptionally good and bright day.
The End.
