“Yes?”
Seunghyun’s gaze swept around Suhwan as if looking for someone. Then, confirming Suhwan was alone, he narrowed his eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
“…It’s nothing.”
“…?”
Seeing the puzzled Suhwan, Seunghyun smiled slightly. Suhwan continued to feel confused by his seemingly relieved appearance.
“You worked hard.”
“Ah… yeah. You must have worked hard with your exams too.”
As he nodded his face, Seunghyun approached and took Suhwan’s hand. His long fingers interlaced seamlessly, gripping tightly with a strength that even Suhwan couldn’t easily break free from.
It hurt a little, but he didn’t show it. Facing Suhwan, who had stiffened his face, Seunghyun whispered softly.
“Let’s go home.”
Suhwan just nodded slightly.
Throughout the trip home, Seunghyun was silent. But his tightly held hand never left Suhwan’s.
As they entered the hallway, the lights suddenly came on. Looking at the pale face illuminated by the light, Suhwan carefully opened his mouth.
“Have you eaten?”
“…”
“Hm?”
When Suhwan asked again, Seunghyun slowly turned his head. Cool brown eyes stared at Suhwan’s face.
“Have you eaten, hyung?”
“I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Then let’s eat together.”
“Okay.”
Seunghyun’s attitude was the same as usual. His tone was soft and affectionate. But he couldn’t hide a somewhat chilly aura. Suhwan couldn’t tell whether the food he was eating with him was going through his nose or his mouth.
“Seunghyun, um.”
After finishing the meal and sitting on the living room sofa, Suhwan kept glancing nervously before speaking up. Seunghyun just stared at Suhwan intently with an expressionless face, as if prompting him to continue.
“So, yesterday I…”
Though he barely managed to open his reluctant mouth, Suhwan was already lost for words. The memory of his shameful behavior yesterday came back to him.
What if he had shown Seunghyun too embarrassing a sight while drunk? Did he vomit? Did he say anything strange? Looking at Seunghyun’s seemingly cold face, Suhwan fidgeted uneasily.
“Um… how did I get home yesterday? I don’t really remember. Did the assistant manager take me home?”
His memory cut off after drinking cocktails while Yunhyun was in the bathroom. The few memories that surfaced after that were all of what happened in bed. Suhwan couldn’t even remember how he got home yesterday.
“I went to pick you up.”
“You? All the way to the bar?”
“Yes.”
“I can’t believe I was such… a nuisance…”
It must have been quite a distance from the bar, and it would have been difficult to bring his unconscious self from there. Suhwan asked in surprise.
“Did you bring me home by yourself? What about the deputy manager?”
“…”
Seunghyun kept his mouth shut at Suhwan’s question. Even someone as oblivious as Suhwan could sense that Seunghyun’s mood had changed. But he couldn’t understand why, so he rolled his eyes. Then he started stammering as he tried to guess what he’d done wrong.
“Did I throw up or something? Or did I act weird? …I didn’t curse at you, right?”
It was something he would never do normally, but who knows what he might have done when drunk and not in his right mind. Besides, this body belonged to Jin Suhwan. It was possible that Jin Suhwan’s personality, which remained in the body, might have resurfaced while drunk. Suhwan groaned as he examined Seunghyun’s expressionless face.
“Hyung.”
“Yes?”
“From now on, never drink outside.”
What on earth did I do? Suhwan’s face turned pale.
“Why did you go drinking with that person yesterday?”
“That person? The deputy manager?”
“Yes.”
Seunghyun’s eyes narrowed. He had clearly warned him before. Be careful even with another alpha. Yet he went to a bar with just the two of them and drank until he blacked out. Seunghyun couldn’t forgive that above all.
If he hadn’t gone to pick him up, would that alpha have taken him home safely? No, he would have taken him straight to a hotel. Seunghyun gritted his teeth at the disgusting thought.
“Well, we were originally just going to have dinner together, but somehow…”
“Somehow?”
“I really wasn’t planning to drink. I ordered non-alcoholic at first. But then I accidentally drank the deputy manager’s drink in the middle…”
“…”
“I’m sorry.”
Suhwan lowered his head and spoke in a small voice. He didn’t know exactly what happened, but he figured his drunken self must have done something to upset Seunghyun.
I really shouldn’t drink next time. Strangely, nothing good ever happened when he drank. As Suhwan sighed, Seunghyun came close and firmly gripped one of his shoulders.
“Hyung, what did I tell you before?”
“What?”
“I told you not to get close to that alpha.”
“Ah.”
Right. Seunghyun had said that. Suhwan belatedly remembered.
But he had his reasons. Yunhyun was the only employee he was friendly with at the company. He couldn’t possibly refuse his suggestion that came out of concern. After all, wasn’t that just part of social life? Suhwan stammered out an excuse.
“But the deputy manager is my supervisor, and I didn’t know we’d end up at a bar, but surely having a meal together is…”
“Hyung.”
“Yes?”
“Do you know what you did when you were drunk yesterday?”
“…?”
What on earth did I do?
Now Suhwan was afraid to hear Seunghyun’s answer. He looked at Seunghyun’s approaching lips with trembling eyes. He felt like a criminal waiting for a verdict.
“I didn’t… hit you, did I?”
He managed to voice the worst possibility that he didn’t even want to think about. But hearing this, Seunghyun frowned as if finding it ridiculous. It seemed he hadn’t done anything truly insane.
But it was too early to be relieved. He had no idea what outrageous thing might come out of Seunghyun’s mouth. And indeed, what Seunghyun said next made Suhwan gasp. It was completely different from what he had imagined.
Seunghyun put his lips to Suhwan’s ear and whispered softly.
“Don’t you remember? You masturbated with your legs spread wide open in front of me.”
“What?”
At first, he didn’t understand and just blinked. Then, looking into Seunghyun’s brown eyes, he slowly digested the words.
I, when drunk… did what? Mas…
“What did you say I did?”
“Hmm… was it this hand?”
“…?”
Seunghyun reached out and grabbed Suhwan’s right hand, pulling it up and placing it against his mouth. Looking at the shocked Suhwan, he continued slowly.
“With this hand, you held your dick, and with the other hand…”
“…!”
Suhwan felt dizzy at the shameful words Seunghyun was casually speaking. A memory suddenly surfaced in his confused mind. His drunken self was doing something embarrassing in front of Seunghyun. Spreading his legs wide so he could see better, moaning as if it felt good…
“Aaaack!”
Suhwan, whose face had turned as white as bleach, screamed. He tried frantically to pull his hand away from Seunghyun’s grip, but couldn’t. Seunghyun was holding it firmly. Suhwan looked at Seunghyun with a flushed face.
“I… I mean, that was because I was drunk…”
“Would you have done the same if someone else was there?”
“That’s…”
