As he hesitantly spoke up, Sa Gong-hyun let out a deep sigh. His hollow laugh didn’t stop with just one. Another laugh followed, awkwardly filling the silence.
Sa Gong-hyun soon straightened his back and ran his fingers through his hair. As Jae-young nervously examined his expression, his lips froze. Sa Gong-hyun’s rough hand slowly traced up his neckline and jawline, completely cupping below his ear. Without meaning to, Jae-young’s entire body tensed.
The sudden kiss was startling, but the gentle movement of his tongue quickly helped him relax. The tongue, which he thought would entangle deeply, retreated more easily than expected. Hot breath escaped between their parted lips.
“Suddenly…”
“I always move with my own interests in mind.”
“…”
“I’m saying that every time I satisfy Do Jae-young-ssi’s petty curiosity, I’ll extract a corresponding payment.”
“…”
“This is my standard, and any further questions are up to you.”
Sa Gong-hyun’s eyes narrowed halfway. His smoothly upturned mouth corners gave Jae-young an inexplicable chill. What a petty guy. Using just a year’s age difference to get a kiss? Jae-young’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
“I’m thirty-three. About six years older than you, Do Jae-young-ssi.”
“How did you know my age?”
“Your wallet.”
“Hmm,” Sa Gong-hyun, who had been responding without hesitation, made a brief nasal sound. As if contemplating something, he slightly tilted his chin up and laughed softly.
“Don’t tell me this counts as one of those questions too.”
Even while lazily speaking to himself, Sa Gong-hyun continued caressing Jae-young’s ear. His touch was so intimate that Jae-young’s head flinched. Jae-young grabbed the hand that was massaging his earlobe.
“What about hobbies that you enjoy, Hyun-ssi…”
Sa Gong-hyun blinked his eyes nonchalantly. All of Jae-young’s questions were things he already knew. His age, his hobbies—everything.
As far as Jae-young knew, Sa Gong-hyun’s hobby was car racing. He’d also heard rumors that he drove racing cars extremely dangerously. That his racing was so violent that one wrong move could send you to the afterlife.
He drove regular cars smoothly, so it seemed he only showed his violent tendencies while racing.
“Did I have any? I don’t think I particularly do.”
However, it seemed the man himself didn’t consider this a hobby.
Soon their lips met again. A soft tongue pushed between his teeth. Jae-young’s body trembled slightly. He held onto Sa Gong-hyun’s hands tightly, as if they were his only support.
This time it didn’t end with just pressing their lips together. A stranger’s foot suddenly slipped between his feet. Taking another step closer that way, Sa Gong-hyun slid his hand inside Jae-young’s clothes.
Jae-young instinctively twisted his body. Even that was quickly stopped as their chests pressed together. A hot hand traveled up his side and caressed his ribs.
“…mmm.”
An embarrassing sound escaped between their tightly sealed lips. Following what felt like a guiding force, Jae-young moved his steps until a solid door touched his back.
Ah, it’s too wet. Too wet. Sticky, and too hot. Sa Gong-hyun moved his tongue busily as if he wanted to devour even the rapid, excited breaths escaping.
Though the sequence of events seemed to be going as planned, his pride was strangely hurt. Rather than intentionally stiffening his body, he knew he had reflexively held his breath from tension, and that realization hurt his pride.
Had it been like this with others too? Apart from when working, he’d had no physical contact with others. Even so, Jae-young had acted confidently when he shared his first kiss with a woman he’d only met twice.
Is it because the other person is a man? It felt like he’d encountered a problem no one could solve.
Though the rough touch on his ear made it difficult to focus on the kiss, Jae-young did his best to reciprocate Sa Gong-hyun.
Sa Gong-hyun, who had been relentlessly pressing forward, slightly pulled his lips away. As he turned his head to the opposite side, their noses bumped. Jae-young, who was about to close his eyes again, quickly regained his senses and lowered his head.
He’d almost gotten hard again from just a kiss. Why did this man have to be so good at kissing, making things so difficult? Rapid breaths kept escaping.
“…it’s unfair.”
When Jae-young slightly moved his lips, Sa Gong-hyun moved a bit further away. He slowly raised his downcast eyes.
“That’s hardly an answer.”
“Ah.”
After his complaint, a somewhat flat exclamation followed. His emotionless face had lips shining with saliva.
“I’ve already received payment, so I’ll fill in that blank soon.”
His gaze, which had been captivated by those lips, hurriedly followed Sa Gong-hyun’s eyes. Without needing to question or argue, it meant his approach had worked to some extent. It meant he would see Jae-young again in the future.
Jae-young freely raised the corners of his mouth that had been twitching slightly. He brightened his face and smiled widely, then briefly closed his mouth.
“Then, what are you doing tomorrow?”
His expectant eyes restlessly scanned Sa Gong-hyun’s face.
“I thought you’d ask something more impressive by now.”
“…”
“You’re more bland than I expected.”
He took a deep breath. This guy was exceptionally difficult to please. Would he applaud if Jae-young suddenly asked about the location of his ledgers?
Suddenly, the rough hand holding his bare skin began to move slightly. Jae-young trembled and instinctively grabbed Sa Gong-hyun’s arm.
“Since I can’t ask about the scars…”
He merely continued his timid response. He glanced at Sa Gong-hyun’s face. Sa Gong-hyun gazed back at him with that same composed expression.
Suddenly, Sa Gong-hyun reached out and pulled down the door handle. The body that couldn’t support the weight retreated along with the door.
“Ask.”
“…”
“But you’ll have to pay a higher price for that question.”
The gentle voice clung stickily to his ear. Even taking one more step back, the heavy weight remained. To withstand it, he wrapped his arms around Sa Gong-hyun’s neck.
The area below, still remembering the pain from that day, tensed sharply, but he didn’t want to back out of a half-successful situation now. Whatever is difficult the first time becomes easier the next.
As he retreated slowly while exchanging tongues, his once-firm center began to waver. As his steps became tangled, when he was about to sit down on the spot, strength entered his arms.
He swallowed his surprised moan with a tightly clenched fist. Later he realized that Sa Gong-hyun’s hand was already supporting his waist. The large hand that had slipped inside his top firmly gripped his ribs.
A soft sensation pressed against the back of his thighs. He instinctively bent his knees. As soon as he touched it with his hand, he realized. It was a bed. It seemed the door he had been leaning against was connected to his bedroom.
Due to the significantly lowered height, he jerked his head up. His hand clutched the bedcover as if scratching it, anticipating what was to come.
Sa Gong-hyun placed one knee on the outside of Jae-young’s leg and pulled up his clothes. His thin upper body was completely exposed.
As Jae-young moved his hips backward, their lips met again. Just from the touch of lips and exposure of his upper body, he felt strange.
He stretched out the tie around his neck. Then, while frantically rummaging through Jae-young’s mouth, he unbuttoned his dress shirt one by one.
Jae-young unclenched his fist and helped him.
Finally, the dress shirt came off. He pressed close to Jae-young, who kept trying to back away whenever there was a gap. Sa Gong-hyun’s hot hand traveled up Jae-young’s upper body. His thumb firmly pressed against a hardened nipple.
“…hah.”
Jae-young reflexively shuddered. Still holding Sa Gong-hyun’s wrist, he met his eyes. Jae-young’s gaze nervously scanned his solid upper body.
The excited gaze suddenly hardened. It was caught like a hook on the scars across his well-built upper body.
On his left arm was a tattoo that looked like it had been painted with ink. A sword resembling a cross and a snake wrapped around the sword.
As soon as he took his eyes off the tattoo, he understood. That his upper body was covered with numerous scars, large and small.
