Siwoo lined his face along with his arms in frustration. Why? Why did Jihoon must say one thing so corny? Siwoo felt uncomfortable and confused.

Instantly, Jihoon mentioned to him, “You must cease doing that.”

“Do what?”

“Protecting your face together with your arms.”

“What? What has it acquired to do with you?”

Jihoon dragged his chair in direction of Siwoo and stared at Siwoo’s face intently. Their faces had been so shut that their eyelashes had been nearly touching. Siwoo felt ticklish, so he tried to tug again, however Jihoon grabbed Siwoo’s wrist and pulled in direction of him. Jihoon regarded down to check Siwoo’s fingers for a very long time. He caressed it, making Siwoo really feel unusual. When Siwoo remained frozen, Jihoon smiled and mentioned to him, “Your fingers are too lengthy.”

“…”

“So everytime you cowl your face together with your fingers, it makes me really feel unusual.”

Jihoon then pulled again from Siwoo and started to drink his lemonade. Siwoo detested gays who had been shallow and uncaring.

Males who had been filled with themselves. Males who had been properly conscious of how handsome they had been. Males who dressed properly, had been wealthy, and really skilled.

These dangerous boys had been typically drawn to Siwoo. Usually occasions, these boys would act all robust and tough, however after they started to point out their softer and extra weak sides, that was when Siwoo would fall arduous for them to a degree that he grew to become obsessive.

And when the connection didn’t work out, which occurred quite a bit in Siwoo’s previous, that was when Siwoo was reminded of how giving himself to a different man meant he would find yourself with nothing.

This was why he selected to this point Joowan final time, and Joowan was the primary boyfriend who made Siwoo really feel secure and cozy.

Properly, a minimum of till he discovered the reality.

Jihoon’s voice introduced Siwoo again to actuality.

“Why are you not paying consideration? I can see that you’re eager about one thing else.”

Jihoon might be very intuitive and delicate, which had been two of the various qualities that Siwoo didn’t like about him. It appeared that Jihoon might learn Siwoo very properly, which was a scary factor. When Siwoo was with him, he couldn’t take into consideration the rest.

“Jihoon Kang.”

“What?”

“Cease doing that.”

“What are you speaking about?”

“Cease speaking like you realize all the pieces about me.”

Siwoo’s physique felt sizzling, so he emptied the glass of gin & tonic in ice. He was crunching on the ice when out of the blue, Jihoon, who was ingesting his lemonade, grabbed Siwoo’s shoulders and pulled him arduous.

“Huh?”

Earlier than Siwoo might react, their lips locked. When Siwoo opened his lips, Jihoon’s tongue, which tasted like lemonade, invaded his mouth. By the point the kiss ended, a bit of the ice from Siwoo’s mouth was now in Jihoon’s mouth.

“… My lemonade didn’t have any ice, and I wished one.”

Jihoon’s face regarded so calm that Siwoo gaped in shock.

“… Siwoo… aren’t you going to hit me?”

Jihoon requested with a frown, confused at the truth that Siwoo remained quiet. Siwoo was certainly in disbelief largely as a result of he knew that he had already fallen for Jihoon. He knew it was a foul thought to ask Jihoon out tonight. What shocked him essentially the most was how rapidly and simply he recovered from his breakup with Joowan. This had by no means occurred earlier than. Even now, eager about Joowan Kim felt painful, however…

Siwoo lastly opened his lips, “You’re a dangerous particular person.”

“… What?”

“And you might be so sneaky.”

“… Siwoo Jung.”

“And so egocentric and egotistical.”

“…”

“However I need to admit that you’re a good kisser.”

Siwoo felt his physique burning. He had been denying the reality to himself, Shin Kim, and Woojin Choi, but it surely was no use now. It was too late.

Jihoon sat nearer to Siwoo once more and caressed his arm. This time, Siwoo didn’t run away, however as an alternative, he put his arms round Jihoon’s neck. Jihoon’s lips lined Siwoo’s lips once more. Jihoon’s tongue licked Siwoo’s tooth gently. When he bit Siwoo’s tongue evenly, Siwoo’s physique vibrated. Casually, Jihoon reached beneath Siwoo’s shirt.

Siwoo knew he wasn’t going house alone tonight.

Woojin couldn’t keep in mind precisely when, however he stopped having his nightmares or every other sorts of goals. He suspected it was when he started to offer his coronary heart to Shin Kim. Woojin remembered the nights when he awoke in the course of the evening sweating and trembling.

It was Wednesday in the present day. Chungju was not too removed from Seoul. The truth that he missed Shin a lot in all probability meant that his love was at its peak. Maybe finally, their love would settle down.

He felt expectant and unusual on his approach house after work. He ran up the steps in his rental to get to his place. Woojin wasn’t the kind that simply grew to become excited, but it surely was completely different in the present day. When he opened the door, the sudden heat greeted him, making his eyes nearly water.

Shin was sporting a vivid blue shirt. It was one of many first objects Shin left at Woojin’s place early on of their relationship. It typically smelled like Shin, so it was certainly one of Woojin’s favourite shirts. Shin requested Woojin, “Did you eat dinner?”

Woojin loosened his tie and started to take his footwear off. This entire scenario felt so surreal that Woojin remained bent, pretending to stare at his footwear. Shin rapidly got here to the door and stood in entrance of Woojin. He requested, “Are you in poor health?”

“No.”

When Woojin stood up, Shin was there. Instantly, Woojin remembered all of the feelings he held inside him for a very long time. Loneliness, disappointment, vacancy… All these emotions he didn’t even know he had. He realized how a lot ache he had in his life as he noticed how Shin checked out him warmly.

Woojin set down his briefcase on the ground and reached out to carry Shin’s wrist. He murmured, “You don’t appear like you might be too blissful to see me…”

Woojin checked out Shin for a very long time earlier than touching Shin’s face.

“Now I can contact you.”

“…”

Woojin buried his face onto Shin’s chest and so they embraced one another. Shin appeared a bit shocked, however his arms mechanically hugged Woojin. Their hearts beated collectively.

Love was a humorous factor. Having fun with Shin’s heat on his cheeks, Woojin whispered, “I might scent your heat.”

“From the place?”

“As quickly as I acquired off the subway.”

“Liar.”

“I’m severe.”

Woojin rubbed his face in opposition to Shin’s chest whereas Shin performed with Woojin’s hair.

Shin mentioned to him, “I wish to see your face. It has been so lengthy since we final noticed one another. Are you able to search for?”

“No.”

“No?”

“No.”

Woojin laughed as he replied. These days, Woojin had been laughing quite a bit. Even Minji observed this, however she appeared detached.

“Woojin, I see that you simply giggle much more now. However you realize, you don’t must giggle.”

“Pardon?”

“However you do look very fairly whenever you giggle. You’re a cute man, Woojin.”

Woojin might see the plain resemblance between Shin and his older sister. Woojin lastly regarded up at Shin, however rapidly regarded away. Shin requested, “What’s unsuitable?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Then kiss me first.”

“You and your sister… you guys are each playboys, aren’t you?”

“… That Minji Kim… did she let you know one thing about me?”

When Woojin smiled extensively, Shin couldn’t consider how stunning he regarded. It was an incredible feeling to be beloved by the one you liked essentially the most on the planet. Shin felt actually fortunate. He whispered to Woojin, “You’ve got grow to be even lovelier throughout the previous couple of days.”

“See? The best way you discuss appears like a whole participant.”

“And my sister? Does she discuss like this too?”

“Sure.”

“Might or not it’s that you’ve fallen for her?”

“Nope.”

Woojin felt blissful. He loved Shin’s heat along with his whole physique. They’d on a regular basis on the planet. They needed to. If they may reside like this without end, it could be a real blissful ending.

And even when this didn’t final… Simply the truth that they spent this time collectively was sufficient. It needed to, as a result of this was love.

Real love.
