“Is work being resolved well?”
“Does it look that way?”
Seo-heon smiled awkwardly as he took off his coat, which had become loose from weight loss, and hung it on the coat rack. It was where he always put his outdoor clothes.
“Yeah.”
He had a habit of coming straight into the house after satisfactorily finishing work, and if there were any hitches, he would tidy up his shoes, even though there was nothing to tidy, before entering. It was a habit he’d had since he was a student.
“Why are you suddenly so docile? Today the barrier is intact, and you’re not refusing treatment?”
He asked, holding my hand. The only time he touched my body was during treatment. He consciously avoided contact at other times. It was completely different from when I was in the hospital room.
“Isn’t this what you wanted? For me to stay still like a doll?”
I deliberately spat out words that might hurt him. It was questionable whether he would be affected by such words, but I wanted to keep a distance like this.
“You don’t have to speak so coldly for no reason.”
Seo-heon replied with a smile, knowing me better than I knew myself. It was unfair that I couldn’t understand you at all.
“I don’t want to keep making you wait like this, but I’ve done so much that I can’t help it.”
I knew without being told. His face appeared daily on TV, the only medium connecting to the outside world.
Even for Seo-heon, it was impossible to maintain his condition after conquering S-rank dungeons twice in a row and being dragged around by associations for days.
His fatigue wasn’t just because he was busy. Despite his crazy schedule, he came in the evening and left in the morning. Yet at night or dawn, he couldn’t sleep, either monitoring or observing me. It was certain because I could constantly feel his presence beyond the door at dawn.
As a result, Seo-heon often frowned when he was alone recently. When I came into view, he changed his expression as if nothing had happened, but he seemed far from just tired.
It was petty, but I decided to use that.
Unlike Seo-heon, I wasn’t good at deceiving others. Hiding secrets was something I did often, but making up lies was another story. If Seo-heon had been in his right mind, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of doing this, so I decided to think of it as a kind of advantage. I fingered the sleeping pills in my pocket.
I had to escape after scattering his mind. However, giving sleeping pills to the sensitive Seo-heon was as difficult as putting a bell on a cat’s neck.
No matter how tired he was, he would notice if the water taste changed slightly, and if I tried to feed him while he was sleeping, he would notice. He hadn’t shown me himself sleeping in the first place.
How can I make Seo-heon let his guard down?
As I kept thinking, I remembered there was a time when Seo-heon slept comfortably in front of me. When we had sex at Seo-heon’s house.
I gritted my teeth. The question of whether I should really make this choice floated around in my head. But it didn’t take long to decide.
Since Seo-heon had sex with me under the pretext of breaking my curse, it seemed okay for me to have sex to make him come to his senses and stop losing life force.
I didn’t mind being criticized for rationalizing. I didn’t want to be swayed anymore by Seo-heon, who was no longer in his right mind.
At the time when the sun’s light doesn’t touch the ground, I was lying awake through the night. I wasn’t tired, having slept plenty until now.
I flung the door open. Seo-heon didn’t flinch even though he was caught monitoring from outside. Suddenly, I thought he might have known that I was aware of his presence.
“Are you sick somewhere?”
He looked me up and down with very worried eyes. Ignoring his useless question, I immediately stood on tiptoe and pressed my lips to his. When I kissed him first, Seo-heon’s eyes widened and his lips trembled. Seeing his face up close, even small changes were visible. When I tapped Seo-heon’s lips with my tongue, he opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.
Our tongues intertwined. As if wanting to become one from the start, they chased each other whenever they tried to separate. I started it, but Seo-heon was leading the persistent kiss. He acted desperately, as if he couldn’t bear even the brief moments of separation. Even a boy kissing for the first time probably wouldn’t be this intense.
My legs weakened and I pushed him away, feeling I couldn’t go on. Seo-heon retreated slowly, as if regretful but not intending to force more. I was the only one breathing heavily from the long kiss.
“Why are you suddenly being so sweet?”
It was a bit funny how he was now suspicious after being so immersed that he couldn’t come to his senses.
“I thought about when our relationship started to get weird… It seems it was after we had sex.”
Our relationship had always continued like a precarious tightrope walk, and the physical relationship was just the starting signal. I knew that well now. Nevertheless, I said it that way to provoke Seo-heon.
“Why are you thinking like that?”
As expected, he grabbed my hand and set his mouth in a hard line.
“Let’s do it once in our right minds. How do you know you won’t realize your feelings were actually obsession, not love?”
“What?”
Seo-heon’s eyes narrowed sharply.
“When you live trying to achieve a goal for a long time, you sometimes forget how to see the essence. You need to cool your head.”
“You can’t believe that I love you? Or is it that you don’t want to believe it?”
That one sentence hit my weak spot. No matter how crazy things Seo-heon had done for me, I couldn’t believe his feelings. The excuse I made to divert Seo-heon’s attention was actually reflecting my own anxiety. Whether it was because the period of unrequited love was too long or because Seo-heon’s actions made me that way, even I didn’t know anymore.
“Okay.”
Seo-heon, who had been hanging his head with a pained expression, entered the room as if he had reached a conclusion.
“Woo-hyun, don’t regret this.”
“I won’t.”
“I’ll show you that my feelings won’t change no matter what you do.”
The door closed. It was clear there was nowhere else to retreat now.
“Why are you so nervous when you’re the one who suggested this?”
“Be quiet.”
However, as he said, although I had initiated it, my steps towards the bed were tinged with embarrassment. It was fundamentally different from our last sexual encounter. The body that had been perfectly prepared for lovemaking was now stiff with tension. Now I couldn’t blame mistakes or poison.
The only consolation was that Seo-heon’s hands had also become stiffer. He fumbled twice while undressing me. It was very different from last time when he seemed skilled.
Or maybe I was too out of it then to notice.
After pulling down my pants, he sat me on the bed. I was left with only my underwear while he was still in his outdoor clothes. He was wearing a semi-formal suit, perhaps having come from a place requiring quite a bit of formality.
“Hurry up and undress too.”
Embarrassed by the disparity, I blurted out words that sounded impatient. Instead of pointing that out, Seo-heon pulled my hand and placed it around his neck.
“You undress me.”
Having never imagined doing such a thing that only intimate lovers would do, I hesitated for a long time with my mouth open. Seo-heon didn’t rush me, but he didn’t move either.
“Stay still.”
I could feel his skin through the thin dress shirt. The muscles hidden under his clothes twitched as if alive when my fingers touched them. I was exhausted just from removing his shirt.
“Satisfied now?”
He threw the shirt I had removed onto the floor and laid me down on the bed. He was still wearing his pants, but I didn’t tell him to take them off for fear he might ask me to do it again.
Seo-heon’s hands touched my body. Despite his hands being extremely cold, everywhere he touched felt burning hot as if scalded. The temperature difference made my body tense up more, and I stiffened like a statue. Naturally, my hole didn’t get wet, and my body showed no signs of opening up. Even seeing such an unresponsive body, Seo-heon was persistent.
He persistently stimulated my slightly erect genitals while gently caressing around my hole. It felt like he was tickling, or trying to unfold each wrinkle. I was the only one suffering from this perverse action.
“Hnn, stop doing that and just do it…”
“How can you say that when you’re clenched so tight? Do you think I’ll hurt you?”
Honestly, even I thought it would be impossible to put Seo-heon’s penis in my hole right now. Nevertheless, I wanted to end this act quickly and put Seo-heon to sleep. Looking at his eyes that seemed to have lost all fatigue, I worried if that would be possible.
“You should focus, Woo-hyun.”
“Ugh, Kang Seo-heon!”
Seo-heon, who had been softly kissing various parts of my body, suddenly sucked hard on my nipple. He even chewed on that small thing, making my body writhe. It didn’t hurt, but it felt like my body was constantly twisting.
“You seem to like it here?”
“N-no, I don’t.”
I don’t understand why he’s talking as if he’s discovered something new when he’s tormented me persistently like this before.
