When Jae-young glanced at Sa Gong-hyun again, their eyes met. This time, he didn’t avoid the gaze.
“I was too embarrassed to mention it, but actually… we’ve met before.”
Though he was tightly gripping the seatbelt, he didn’t turn his eyes away. Jae-young, who took a deep breath through his slightly parted lips, unnaturally turned his head. He lowered his gaze and even bit his lower lip slightly.
“I saw you in front of XX Bank a few days ago. I mistook you for someone else and apologized by giving you candy… I didn’t expect to meet you here again…”
“Ah, the candy.”
A light voice followed as if he were talking to himself. Jae-young noticed that the gaze that had been on him was withdrawn. Sa Gong-hyun soon burst into a brief laugh.
“That’s fortunate.”
Jae-young, with wide rabbit-like eyes, watched his profile. Just as he was examining his pretty face in detail, Sa Gong-hyun smoothly turned the steering wheel.
“Actually, I remembered too.”
Jae-young’s face brightened in an instant. Awkwardly erasing his flushed expression, Jae-young stared intently at Sa Gong-hyun’s lips.
“And your name, Do Jae-young-ssi.”
His eyes twitched reflexively, but he didn’t withdraw the faint smile that had spread. Jae-young secretly gripped the seatbelt tightly.
The car, which had been moving smoothly, stopped in place. Sa Gong-hyun’s gaze fixed back on Jae-young, and Jae-young stared at him as if Sa Gong-hyun was the only target allowed to him.
“Let’s get out now.”
Sa Gong-hyun reached out with the hand that had been holding the gear shift. His cold hand covered the back of Jae-young’s hand. When Jae-young, startled, withdrew his hand further, Sa Gong-hyun laughed plainly.
“Let’s stop tormenting this too.”
“Ah…”
He made an expression that anyone would find amusing. Sa Gong-hyun’s hand detached more insipidly than expected. Jae-young swallowed heavily as he unfastened the seatbelt that had been restraining his body.
He immediately got out of the car. From the moment his feet touched the ground, he couldn’t uncrease his furrowed brow. Regardless, since they had agreed to have drinks, he didn’t expect to head home. But he hadn’t imagined this direction.
The place Sa Gong-hyun had brought him to was a hotel. Although he knew there was a bar in this hotel, the sequence of events that would unfold after drinking at the bar was painfully obvious.
We’ll drink here, and then spend the night here. There was nothing more frustrating than giving up his ass without gaining anything in return. He felt like he would only be satisfied if he could at least get a look at Sa Gong-hyun’s bedroom.
Sa Gong-hyun, having handed the car over to valet parking, stood beside Jae-young. He hurriedly relaxed his expression at the presence of the stranger. When Sa Gong-hyun was about to go inside first, Jae-young urgently grabbed his hand.
“Why here…?”
Sa Gong-hyun’s face, as he turned to look at Jae-young, was emotionless, as if he had been expressionless all along. Sa Gong-hyun soon drew a kind smile at the corner of his mouth.
“The bar here is quite good. Both the atmosphere and the drinks, everything.”
Jae-young knew that much. Jae-young was a well-known drinker in his circle. When it came to alcohol, he wouldn’t hesitate to spend even a million won.
I know this place has a good night view, good atmosphere, and good drinks. I really, really know, and that’s why it’s so regrettable.
“The thing is… I’m still a student, so it’s a bit… burdensome for me to buy drinks at a hotel.”
At least not today. He hadn’t even gotten a phone number, and if he went into the hotel like this, sex with him couldn’t be anything more or less than a one-night stand.
So please go somewhere else, okay? Preferably near your house. Of course, your home would be even better. Jae-young suddenly looked up at Sa Gong-hyun with a pitiful expression.
He even gently pulled, applying strength to his fingertips that were holding Sa Gong-hyun. Sa Gong-hyun lowered his eyes to gaze down at Jae-young’s hand. His lips, which had been motionless like a painting, stretched long at both ends.
“I’m not saying Do Jae-young-ssi should buy the drinks, so don’t worry.”
“…”
“I was the one who offered first, and I never intended to drink for free.”
His mind was racing. Currently, Sa Gong-hyun was smiling, but it was impossible to know when his mood might twist. It was clear that if Jae-young refused, he would turn away without the slightest lingering attachment, having nothing to regret himself.
Jae-young gradually erased his troubled expression. Unable to delay any longer, he grabbed Sa Gong-hyun’s hand more firmly, as if resolved.
“…Then.”
Sa Gong-hyun attentively listened to the voice that seemed to tremble faintly.
“Then please let me buy next time for sure.”
Just because things started and ended well didn’t mean he could rest easy. Even if the end was clean, the process was always dirty.
That was still the case now.
Though he was desperate to be less vulnerable to Sa Gong-hyun, he couldn’t proceed with the operation on hope alone. Currently, Jae-young was in no position to push or pull Sa Gong-hyun.
If pulled, he had to be dragged first. Being dragged first and then gauging the situation came next.
To get to a relationship, controlling the pace was important, but if things went wrong from the start, it was easy to be caught off guard. Especially if the other person was someone like Sa Gong-hyun, there was no need to say more.
Jae-young fumbled with Sa Gong-hyun’s hand, waiting for his answer. He wanted to avoid Sa Gong-hyun’s intense gaze but couldn’t. It wasn’t that he was deliberately staring intently; even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn’t. That wounded his pride.
Jae-young blinked slowly. He desperately wanted to keep it a secret that his eyes had reddened because he didn’t want to follow Sa Gong-hyun.
Even though he wanted to punch that homo bastard for being so annoying, he felt he could tolerate it with broad understanding if only he would utter the words saying he would do as Jae-young wished.
He couldn’t measure the actual time that had passed, but subjectively, it felt like a very long time. Sa Gong-hyun readjusted his grip on Jae-young’s hand. Then, the strong grip that tightly bound Jae-young pulled him.
“Let’s do that.”
While the laughter mixed in his words made him want to raise a toast in delight, he also wanted to cry at how pathetic he was. Which of these emotions, pulling in opposite directions, should he follow?
Jae-young followed behind Sa Gong-hyun, soothing his feelings that were stubbornly arguing over which should take precedence.
Yes, just think about the five million dollars. Even though he would have to share it with Seung-kwon and Ju-yeon, it was still a large sum. So, just think about the five million dollars.
He had to continuously hypnotize himself to think of Sa Gong-hyun only in terms of money.
Despite the late hour, the bar was quite full of people. Jae-young, who had entered hesitantly following Sa Gong-hyun, quietly examined the faces of the staff.
Since he had frequented the place not infrequently, it would be disastrous if he encountered a familiar face.
To Sa Gong-hyun, Jae-young needed to be a late-blooming college student. A normal college student who was not lacking but would have never given a second glance to a bar like this.
Jae-young scanned the back of Sa Gong-hyun’s head as he followed him to the VIP room, guided by an unfamiliar staff member.
The VIP room was a place even Jae-young had never entered. The drinks were already expensive, and he never wanted to pay the high cost for a private space, so he always drank in open areas. Sometimes he also needed to secretly eavesdrop on targets’ conversations.
The VIP room he saw for the first time was so spacious that it was surprising for just two people. If he was unlucky, it seemed like they could even do the deed here instead of in a hotel room.
Jae-young looked around the room with his mouth open. Though he was breathing intermittently, it seemed more like he was sighing rather than exhaling. Led by Gong-hyun’s hand, he sat next to him.
His fingertips seemed to tremble slightly. Jae-young was by no means a person with little courage. Even in moments when a knife was held to his throat, he had the wit to persuade or distract his opponent.
So why was he now trembling like a drenched puppy? Even though he didn’t want to dig into it, he couldn’t help but know. Jae-young’s backside still hadn’t forgotten the fiery pain of that dildo.
Ah, my backside. To think that the first place it would be penetrated would be neither Gong-hyun’s home nor a luxurious hotel suite, but merely a bar’s VIP room.
The chair felt uncomfortable, as if someone he didn’t even know had sat there engaging in vulgar acts without even washing it once. As Jae-young sat tensely, he heard Gong-hyun’s laughter from beside him.
“You seem scared.”
Of course I’m scared, you fool. If you were me, could you offer your backside to someone like you? Though he really didn’t want to, Jae-young clutched Gong-hyun’s hand as if it were a lifeline.
“It’s because this is my first time… doing this.”
His voice trembled pathetically. It was a trembling that matched the situation. Yes, better to push through with the virgin angle. At least that way, he wouldn’t be misunderstood unnecessarily.
Jae-young inhaled with difficulty. He deliberately avoided eye contact and fumbled around looking downward.
