If You Want Me - Episode 106
<Episode 106>
When he seriously said to give him a chance to make up for it, I had secretly hoped that he would take me to a nice place like the aquarium we went to yesterday. However, the place Do-gyeom suggested was not such a unique or great place.
Seo-won asked him in a voice questioning if this would really do as he washed his hands and came out after entering the house.
“You’ve been here many times, do we really need to have a housewarming? This was your house until the name was transferred…”
The place Do-gyeom suggested was none other than the apartment Seo-won had moved into.
Originally, this house was under Do-gyeom’s name and he had come here often, so there was nothing special about it. It was absurd that he insisted on coming over under the pretext of a housewarming.
When Seo-won asked with that thought in mind, Do-gyeom jokingly looked around.
“It’s not anymore. But the furniture is the same as before, right?”
“It was working fine so there was no need to change it.”
“Tell me if you need anything. I’ll replace it for you.”
“Jeez, it’s fine…”
Seo-won shook his head. The furniture was a bit old since he had lived in this house for a long time, but they were all good quality so they didn’t break or become strange over time. It was simple so it didn’t feel tacky either.
Seo-won answered with that thought, but Do-gyeom was still looking around the house with dissatisfied eyes. He seemed ready to really buy something if needed, so Seo-won naturally changed the subject and drew his attention.
“But how are you going to make up for the date?”
“Hmm… How about watching a movie at home?”
When Seo-won asked, Do-gyeom seemed to think for a moment and then clung to Seo-won’s back and asked. His embrace was warm enough already, but today he was wearing a fluffy knit so it felt cozier than usual.
Seo-won slightly turned his head and asked as Do-gyeom gently wrapped his arms around his belly from behind.
“Is there something you want to watch?”
“Not really. Let’s pick together.”
Do-gyeom took Seo-won to the sofa while back-hugging him with short steps.
Naturally sitting on the sofa and seating Seo-won on his lap, Do-gyeom picked up the remote that was on the sofa and pressed the power button.
When he turned on the TV, various interesting movie posters lined up on the screen that was previously black. Do-gyeom lightly rested his chin on Seo-won’s shoulder while staring at the screen and asked.
“Is there anything you want to watch?”
“Not really… I don’t even know what’s popular these days.”
Seo-won didn’t know what movies were trending these days or what movies had been released. He wasn’t very interested in movies usually, and when he went back and forth between the countryside and island as if running away, he was almost cut off from civilization. After returning, he met Do-gyeom almost every day and had so many things to do that he didn’t even have time to watch movies.
When Seo-won answered awkwardly, Do-gyeom responded as if it was even better.
“I didn’t pick one beforehand either. Should we choose together?”
After saying that, Do-gyeom pressed the buttons on the remote to open a screen where they could see the latest movies at a glance.
These days, movie posters are made pretty and interesting, so most of them seemed entertaining. As long as it wasn’t a horror thriller or 19+ movie, which he didn’t usually prefer, he felt like he could watch almost anything.
But the problem wasn’t picking a movie… There seemed to be another issue. Seo-won somehow couldn’t focus on choosing a movie. That’s because Do-gyeom’s presence behind him was more prominent than the movie posters in front of his eyes.
His body wasn’t just big. Not only was his frame large because he was a dominant alpha, but he had solid muscles covering him like armor from diligently working out.
Anyone would admire his rock-hard abs… Without realizing it, Seo-won ended up imagining his naked body. No matter how much he was aware of it, this was a brazen and perverted thing to do. Why am I imagining a normal person’s naked body?
This posture is definitely burdensome. It turns me into a pervert. Seo-won secretly wiggled his butt, trying to naturally escape from his embrace and slowly moved forward.
When his butt was about to hang over his knees, Do-gyeom, who had been still, tightened his arms around Seo-won’s lower belly and pulled him back to the original position.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m not going anywhere… It’s just a bit awkward to watch a movie in this position.”
“Why? Is it uncomfortable?”
It wasn’t that his body was uncomfortable, but rather that he was distracted by Do-gyeom sitting close behind him. However, Do-gyeom seemed to think the posture was uncomfortable, so he spread his thighs and adjusted Seo-won’s position to sit between his legs.
“How about now?”
“No, it’s not that I’m uncomfortable. Aren’t you uncomfortable, Hyung? The sofa is so wide…”
“Not at all. This is the most comfortable.”
“…”
Do-gyeom answered brazenly. There’s no way it’s comfortable for him, who always sits upright, to spread his legs wide and hold a person… It seemed like he was lying because he wanted to be in contact even a little bit, but it also felt strange to deny it when he said he was comfortable.
If he really didn’t like it, he could have pushed him away, but it wasn’t that he disliked it either. The posture wasn’t uncomfortable. It was just… embarrassing and shy.
Looking back at Do-gyeom, it seemed like Seo-won was the only one being overly conscious. Seo-won, thinking that he might be excessively conscious of him, leaned his back comfortably against his body without arguing further. His already firm body seemed to stiffen even more, which he could feel through his back.
Fully leaning on him seemed more comfortable than before. It also felt somewhat reassuring. Seo-won pouted his lips and looked at the screen, when he suddenly spotted a familiar poster. Seo-won overlapped his hand on top of the remote Do-gyeom was holding and said.
“Oh? How about this one?”
“…This one?”
Do-gyeom swallowed and asked back. It was a voice with a strangely tense tone, even though he had only picked one movie. His reaction was a bit strange.
It’s a classic romance movie so famous that everyone knows it… Is there a problem?
“Have you seen this one before?”
“No, I haven’t. Let’s watch this.”
When Seo-won felt his reaction was strange and asked, Do-gyeom answered as usual again and pressed the play button. The movie intro played on the screen before he could look back.
As the production company logo appeared grandly and the lead actor, who is still referred to as the greatest handsome alpha even after more than a decade, appeared smoking a cigarette, it immediately drew attention.
Regardless of personal taste, he was objectively good-looking, so it felt like he was CG rather than human. This actor is still handsome even after decades. As he was staring at the actor with that thought, Do-gyeom suddenly grabbed his hand. He interlocked their fingers tightly. Squeezing.
Why the hand all of a sudden…? When Seo-won took his eyes off the screen and slightly looked back, he whispered softly in his ear as if they were at a movie theater.
“Don’t stare too much.”
“…Are you telling me not to look at that actor?”
“Yeah. I’m jealous.”
Do-gyeom said in a slightly sulky tone.
What the…? He’s jealous? Not only is he unabashedly saying he’s jealous of an actor, but it was absurd how he was telling me not to look at the male lead when he was the one who suggested watching a movie first. Seo-won unknowingly let out a hollow laugh and asked.
“Then how am I supposed to watch the movie?”
“You’re right. I chose wrong.”
Do-gyeom grumbled. No matter what movie he picked, there would have been a male lead… Maybe choosing a movie with a too-handsome actor was the problem.
It wasn’t that he really wanted to watch it. He just wanted to watch it because it was a highly acclaimed movie. Seo-won hesitated for a moment, then slightly turned his head to look at Do-gyeom and asked.
“Then should we pick another movie? Hmm, we could do something other than watching a movie.”
“No, just hold my hand.”
Do-gyeom said there was no need to go that far and slightly shook their clasped hands.
Suddenly, I thought maybe he used jealousy as an excuse because he wanted to hold hands. Because no matter how jealous he is, it doesn’t seem like he would get jealous just from me looking at the lead actor in the movie a bit.
Is he not being honest, or does he not know his own heart well, like how he realized much later that he liked me? Seo-won found him a bit cute, so he tightened his grip on their held hands and focused on watching the movie.

The movie was interesting enough to know why it was so renowned.
The plot was about a female lead facing an arranged marriage she doesn’t want, meeting a man charming and kind enough to make her heart waver, and falling deeply in love in an instant like playing with fire. It seemed contrived, but since both leads were praised as the beauties of the century, it didn’t feel strange. Visuals are the key to plausibility after all.
In the middle of reaching the climax, the male lead secretly entered the female lead’s room. He went straight to the bed… It was fine up to that point. Scenes before intimacy starts are common in foreign romance movies.
But this movie… was it rated 19+?
If they showed this much, it would usually cut to a scene of the morning sun rising and birds chirping, but the explicit scenes suggestive of lovemaking continued for quite a while. Strange noises were included. Its reputation must be outstanding in that aspect too, because even without direct exposure, it was secretive.
Seo-won’s neck grew hot at the embarrassing scene. Seo-won usually felt awkward even when a kissing scene came on while watching TV with his mom, so he naturally wanted to leave his seat. The problem was that he couldn’t do that because he was in Do-gyeom’s arms.
“Seo-won.”
“Y-yes?”
As he deeply wished for this scene to pass quickly, Do-gyeom, who had been silent the whole time watching the movie, opened his mouth.
Why during this scene of all times…? As he slightly turned his head back, Do-gyeom was looking at Seo-won with a hot yet subtle gaze.
A sensual tension flowed between their eyes as they met. It really seemed like something might happen, so when he lowered his gaze a bit, his lips came into view. He knew there were no rough parts to his appearance, but even just looking at his lips… they were beautiful.
Unconsciously recalling the times he kissed him, Do-gyeom belatedly opened his mouth.
“I need to use the bathroom for a bit.”
Ah, bathroom…
I was nervous about what he would say, but fortunately, it was about a physiological phenomenon. As Seo-won hurriedly tried to move aside, his butt brushed against something hard behind him.
This is… based on the location, it seems to be his genitals…
I should quickly move, but my mind was filled with various thoughts. Is he going to the bathroom with that kind of intention? Because of the erotic scene? It didn’t seem like a tremendously arousing scene to the point of becoming this heavy…
Even though it could just be that it hardened from holding in his physiological needs, maybe because it was right after watching a sensual scene, Seo-won’s imagination ran wild on its own. I know it’s wrong to have such thoughts about someone, but once a thought came to mind, it didn’t easily disappear.
But… if it’s for the reason I’m thinking, there’s no need to take care of it in the bathroom, right?
I’m here too… I can help…
As Seo-won was lost in his own thoughts and didn’t move, Do-gyeom asked in puzzlement.
“Seo-won?”
“…”
Maybe it’s because I’ve completely given my heart to him. I had these absurd thoughts and unknowingly turned back to look at him.
“Hyung. By any chance…”
