SMNTCERR, Chapter 63: Yellow #5.

So, you’re going to study abroad, huh? Your girlfriend doesn’t mind?”

Instantly, anger surged within him. He lifted the soju glass and drank it all before slamming it down with a loud noise.

“Can you handle it?”

Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent. Seeing the eyes that secretly observed him, he reluctantly relaxed his expression.

“Let’s talk about something else.”

“Um, speaking of which, are you close with Yoona? Do you know what she’s up to? Does she have a boyfriend?”

It seemed like he didn’t want to show any interest in someone who had no hope at all. Jaeyoung replied that he didn’t know either and hoped to change the topic of conversation.

“I think Choi Yoona is strange. Whenever we meet, she always acts tough towards me.”

“You’re looking at the world too positively. Her behavior is bad. When she hates someone, she doesn’t hide it.”

“I don’t think she hates me. It seems like she’s showing more interest, like those in shoujo manga.”

“Oh, what a delusion of yours? She hates people like you more than anything.”

Yoona and Jaeyoung’s styles were similar, meaning they had to be people with style, sense, and maturity. Jaeyoung thought of some people who didn’t fit the above description at all and realized that the word “style” was useless.

His style was dull, there was no sense, and asking if he had any maturity was like saying he was a toddler just learning to walk. However, falling in love with someone didn’t depend on those conditions. The evidence was Jaeyoung, who was hit by the unseemly Giant Bebe, who had no sense and looked so dark that he was stunned and stiffened.

“It’s not true. Normally, girls like Yoona tend to go for soft and gentle guys like me.”

‘Just said it was not true, damn it. You keep repeating the same thing.’

Jaeyoung imagined how Yoona would react when she heard those words and felt a surge of anger. He thought about going out for a cigarette, but he had never encountered such a boring group of drinkers before. He used to be able to have fun anywhere, but now everything seemed dull, including the alcohol, food, and people.

As he approached the door, he heard a familiar ringing sound coming from behind him. Although it was his phone ringing, Jaeyoung pushed the door open without questioning who was calling.

“Oh, damn it. Check the name on the phone.”

“Wow… definitely a girlfriend. Let me see, what’s her name?”

“Oh, that’s a good idea.”

Jaeyoung turned around and stumbled back until his leg hit the corner of the table, but he didn’t have time to care.

“Hello? Hey, who’s this?”

“Probably someone else. Ask quickly, sunbae.”

“Sorry, don’t you know the name of the phone owner…”

Jaeyoung arrived at the table in a hurry and grabbed the phone from the other person’s hand. As he pressed the phone to his ear, he heard a quiet voice at the other end of the line.

[Why are you asking for my name?]

“…”

The voice immediately eliminated the hatred and anger that had just surged up. Jaeyoung stood still, holding the phone to his ear for a moment.

[Jaeyoung…hyung, are you too busy to answer the phone?]

“Wait a minute.”

Jaeyoung muttered before grabbing his wallet and stuffing his wallet and belongings into his pants pocket. The dizziness from the alcohol made him feel a little dizzy. When he walked out, he heard the other screaming and asking where he was going to go, so he turned around to answer.

“I don’t want to drink anymore. Let me go first.”

“Huh? What? Why are you leaving now?”

“You went on to pick up someone else’s phone, what the hell did you think I was going to do? It’s annoying.”

“Huh? What the hell are you talking about? Hey, that bastard is crazy.”  The young man slammed the table so hard that the water bottle spilled.

Although the other person looked angry, Jaeyoung didn’t care at all and hurried the girl to the door.

“Stay calm. Keep calm, senior. That man is drunk.”

“Uh, fuck… a little teasing and he is that pissed off…”

He already has bad manners. We’re better off drinking together.”

Jaeyoung pushed the door open and walked into the quiet commercial building. He sat down on the stairs and slowly lifted his phone to his ear, the call still connected.

“Sangwoo.”

He called the other person’s name cautiously, as if it were the first time he had ever called him, even though he had called him a hundred times before.

[Are you at a bar?]

“I was earlier, but I left.”

[Are you drunk?]

“Not that much.”

[Is something wrong?]

“No, not really.”

[It sounded like someone was screaming. Did things get out of hand?]

“No, why did you call?”

He took the phone away from his ear to check the time. Sangwoo was probably done with his part-time job and on his way home.

[Oh… it’s Saturday today, right?]

“Yes.”

[And tomorrow is Sunday.]

“And the day after that is Monday.”

As the alcohol entered his mouth, his thoughts didn’t become more complicated. Jaeyoung stood up and walked along the street, stopping to look at the cars passing by.

[And the day after that is Tuesday… not Wednesday. Oh, damn…]

He raised his hand and waved. Then the taxi slowly moved forward and stopped in front of him. Jaeyoung opened the door and sat down in the passenger seat.

[Was I wrong to call you?]

“Whether you could or not, it’s up to you, but there must be a reason for calling, right?”

Jaeyoung put his hand over the phone before telling the driver his address and quickly picked up the phone again to hold it to his ear.

[Is there a reason…? Yes, I have.]

“What is it?”

[Even though I have, I might not want to tell you.]

“If you don’t tell me, how are you going to achieve your goal in calling me?”  [That matters… I’ve already achieved my goal. It’s nothing.] Jaeyoung is not sure whether Chu Sangwoo is honest or a fox.

“Then can I hang up?”

[Sure.]

“…”

[But… don’t hang up yet.]

“Why?”

[I want to talk on the phone with you like this until I get home.]

A few sincere words can melt Jaeyoung’s heart, and his defense power became 0, so he always feels defenseless when facing the other party.

“And when you are home, what’s next?”

[I’ll take a shower and then maybe test a new game.]

He fidgets and the view outside the window moves but he wants it to move faster. He tightens his grip on the phone and asks Sangwoo.

“What game are you testing?”

[I downloaded LXT and Evil Scroll. Oh, and yesterday I watched a preview of an RPG game that Mecon will release on the 22nd. It looks a bit like Wevan.]

Jaeyoung didn’t interrupt and listened until the end. The end of the call analyzed the similarities and differences between Veggie Venturer and the other game for more than five minutes, but Jaeyoung didn’t feel bored at all.

“It’s just a similar atmosphere, and in reality, they are different games.

Fortunately, the main issues of the games are not the same.”

[How can they be the same? You, hyung have a strange way of thinking that others can’t think alike.]

“Is this a compliment?”

[Because you hyung have a thought process that is so strange that others can’t think alike.]

“That’s a backhanded compliment.”

Suddenly, he saw a familiar path, a path he had walked to send Sangwoo on weekends two or three times before. His heart began to beat loudly, as if a switch had been turned on. Jaeyoung took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before whispering softly.

What about after that?”

[Check my email and go to bed.]

“Before going to bed, will you open the Jang Jaeyoung folder?”

[…]

“Why didn’t you answer?”

At the end of a dark street, a man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and jeans was walking. Although he was quite far away, Jaeyoung guessed the person accurately and signaled to get off. The taxi slowed down gradually until it stopped completely.

[Don’t tease me like that. It’s a phenomenon of physiology.]

“I’m not kidding, really.”

[You already know the answer, why ask again?]

He paid for the taxi with a card, got out of the car and saw Sangwoo walking ahead about a hundred meters away.

“Will you open it or not? How else can I find out?”

[Ugh, fuck.]

The other person stopped and took out a phone to look, sometimes seeming like he wanted to throw it away. Jaeyoung stopped and waited until Sangwoo started walking again before following.

“Before, you didn’t seem to care when I talked about tough things. Why has it changed now?”

[I don’t know. It’s been chaotic lately.]

“So, are you going to open the Jang Jaeyoung folder or not?”

[At first, I thought I wouldn’t, but now I probably have to.]

“Why? When you hear my voice, does your blood rush to your cock muscles?”

[…]

Sangwoo turned into an alley. As he followed, he saw the apartment building.

Jaeyoung continued to walk at a distance.

“Sangwooya, why aren’t you answering?”

[Annoying.]

“Am I annoying you?”

[You just talk about obscene things and don’t take responsibility.]

“I can take responsibility…”

[What are you talking about? That’s it.]

 

 

Sangwoo stopped in front of the building, his mouth saying he was going to hang up, but he remained still holding the phone to his ear. When Jaeyoung pressed to end the call, Sangwoo lowered the phone and stared at the screen before shouting out.

“You bastard!”

Normally, he probably would have thought that way. Jaeyoung hurriedly walked ahead, step by step, while the other side pushed the glass door and prepared to step in. He caught up and hugged the back tightly.

“By myself.”

With the intention of shaking himself out with quick movements, Sangwoo slowly lowered his elbows. Jaeyoung could feel his heart beating fast, his arms tightening around him, just hugging him, the fleeting feelings spread throughout his body, he buried his nose and throat in the embrace of the person and took a deep breath, then the feeling of dizziness mixed with the feeling of losing consciousness.

“Anyway, 3D must be better than 2D, right?”

He took a moment to compose himself before speaking. Sangwoo didn’t laugh at that awkward statement.

From just nuzzling the other person’s neck slowly with his nose, he became bolder, Jaeyoung’s lips pressed down on his white skin, and he sucked until there was a loud sound, kissing, kissing, everywhere he touched, it was impossible not to smell the sweet scent of the body that had been working in the game shop for hours, sometimes it might be because of the dizziness.

Jaeyoung thought he couldn’t concentrate anymore.

He nibbled on the thin skin at the back of his neck and used the tip of his tongue to lick up to the edge of his earlobe, and suddenly he felt the person in his arms jump. Jaeyoung hugged the trembling body tighter and licked along the curve of his earlobe, making him feel ticklish.

“Hyung…”

The hand that was initially just hugging Sangwoo moved to his chest and slid down his flat stomach through his shirt, then moved to his waist. Sangwoo held onto that hand tightly and murmured softly.

“Give me a moment… to prepare myself.”

Jaeyoung grabbed the other person’s arm and turned to face him instead of answering, his face reddened with the light and shadow of the streetlights.  Then Sangwoo looked away. Jaeyoung used his hand to lift the other person’s chin to face each other. ‘No.’

As he leaned in, the other person immediately pushed him away.

“Calm down a bit and we can do it later.”

‘I don’t want to.’

He kissed him again without saying anything, but this time he wasn’t immediately rejected, he sucked on Sangwoo’s lower lip. Then he used the tip of his tongue to tease his lips little by little, waiting for him to accept it, but the other person backed away and left.

“I’ve been working all day, I’m all dirty. Just one hour…”

‘I said no.’

He hadn’t finished speaking yet before, Jaeyoung closed his mouth again, wrapped his hands around Sangwoo’s neck, and leaned in to press his lips tightly together and slip his tongue into his mouth, hoping to make the other party unable to say anything. He didn’t think about anything meaningless, and only focused on him.

This time, Sangwoo didn’t resist, and held onto Jaeyoung’s shoulders as if he had surrendered, it seemed that even his stubbornness had diminished.

Sangwoo raised his toes and whispered in his ear.

“I know. I know.”

When he saw Sangwoo immediately suck and pull his tongue in, he thought of the first kiss they had, it was a kiss without layers, rushed, and didn’t hide anything. The other party approached him without saying anything, making Jaeyoung feel even hotter.

Sangwoo used his other hand to hold Jaeyoung’s cheek and leaned in to press his lips together, grinding his lips together until their teeth collided, and his tongue plunged deep into the root of his tongue, making him almost unable to breathe, and his open mouth made saliva flow to the tip of his chin.

Bang! The back of Jaeyoung’s neck hit the glass door. Sangwoo woke up violently. Jaeyoung used his back to push the door and pulled the other party into the dark building. He slid his hand under his shirt and placed his fingertips on Sangwoo’s waist. Then he slid up and hugged his neck with his hand. When he withdrew from the kiss and forgot to open his eyes for a moment, the closed eyes of Sangwoo opened, revealing the waves of emotion that were raging inside.

“You tasted like soju.”

The other party licked his lips, before Sangwooya said to him.

“Alcohol has the effect of depressing the central nervous system, which may cause temporary erectile dysfunction.” “Let’s go up and you can check for yourself.” ____________________________________.

SMNTCERR, Chapter 62: Yellow, #4.

After passing the ball, Sangwoo caught it with both hands. The other person he wanted to warm up first and bounced the basketball two or three times before starting to dribble. Everything went according to standard procedure, just like when the other side did various things. Sangwoo took two steps and dribbled, two steps and dribbled, until he reached the penalty line and shot with both hands firmly. But unfortunately, it didn’t go in.

Sangwoo did that four more times, failed two more times, and succeeded two more times. Then it seemed like he had found his way. Sangwoo picked up the ball with a blank face and dribbled it to the center of the court.

“Let’s start.”

“Okay, this side.”

Jaeyoung took off his glasses and put them in his pants pocket, then took a stance. At that moment, Sangwoo, who had been standing still, dribbled the ball closer. Jaeyoung waited to see if the other side would come from the left or right, but the other suddenly rushed straight ahead, his face seeming to say ‘No matter what, I’m going to block you’ Sangwoo prepared to collide with one arm, looking like he was going to go to the right.

And as expected, at the moment when he had to block. Jaeyoung couldn’t touch the other side due to the difference in height. If he wanted to play dirty, he could, but his body wasn’t agile enough to move. Sangwoo ducked under Jaeyoung’s arm and successfully made the first shot.

“What’s this? Play nicely.”

Duk,Duk, Duk, he could feel the pounding of his heart matching the sound of the ball bouncing on the court.

Jaeyoung caught the ball that Sangwoo threw, feeling unfamiliar with the touch of the ball. Despite being a forward player [1]who excelled in aggressive play and had counted countless times in catching the basketball, he now didn’t feel like winning at all.

He chased the basketball slowly and half-heartedly. Sangwoo ran in and looked at the basketball with eager eyes, his arms moving quickly as if to hug Jaeyoung. Jaeyoung pretended to be a fake a few times before throwing the ball out far, of course, there was no way the ball would fall into the basket. The basketball hit the board and bounced far away. Sangwoo then ran after the ball.

‘This is a defeat.’

Jaeyoung laughed dryly as Sangwoo ran with the ball again. This time he saw the other side turn to the left, he faced him with pleasure, trying to snatch the ball, but Sangwoo pulled the ball towards him without hesitation. Then he used a strong post-up technique [2] by using his back to push through Jaeyoung.

Judging from the way he handled the ball, the other person must have been a point guard [3] before, unlike Jaeyoung who usually played as a forward, dealer, designer, and developer. They were so different.

Sangwoo approached the penalty shoot-out line, crouched down, and this time he shot with both hands as usual. The basketball floated beautifully in a curve and fell into the basket.

Jaeyoung lost his concentration, while he only moved without any strength like a robot, he suddenly realized that the score had become 8-0.

“What will I get if I win?”

“That’s it.”

“Do what the other person asks, is that okay?”

“Sure.”

This was a bet that whether he won or lost, Jaeyoung wouldn’t lose. He tried to think about what he would ask for if he won, but in the end, he gave up. If it was too easy, just ask for it directly, and if he asked for something impossible using betting as an excuse, he might get the opposite result instead.

At that moment, the basketball floated over. Jaeyoung caught the ball with both hands unintentionally, then decided to show off his ability for the other side to see. He crouched down to dribble the basketball and showed his skill by changing hands without necessity, but Sangwoo didn’t even blink twice.

If it’s not important, Sangwoo usually doesn’t pay attention. Once he thought it wasn’t cool at all, but now…

‘I like you who cares about what’s important.’

He tricked him into going right and then turned left. Sangwoo was really fooled once, and he used to be frustrated with the other person who was like that, but now…

‘I like someone who is honest. Not pretending.’

Sangwoo followed him again and tried to steal the ball while wrapping his arms around Jaeyoung’s waist. Jaeyoung sent the ball back with his other hand, teasing the other person by doing a crossover, and then easily passed him again.

Sangwoo refused to give up and followed him, once thinking that the other person looked foolish, but now…

‘I like someone who always does everything to the fullest.’

A light breeze separated the horse’s mane as they ran and played basketball. Jaeyoung ran straight to the basket and caught the alley-oop without fail. The basketball fell beautifully, he caught it again, bounced it two or three times, and then threw it to Sangwoo.

“8 to 2.”

The other person caught the ball and ran slowly, dribbling the ball close to him with the correct posture and looking strong, but it was an efficient posture. The damp shirt clung to his body, creating a silhouette that was both sexy and alluring, with a confident look on his face.

While thinking that everything about the other person was so attractive, Jaeyoung realized that he had fallen in love with Chu Sangwoo. It happened before he started thinking about what made the other person so special and different from others, the image of Sangwoo running towards him. No, the truth was that the other person running towards him seemed so charming that Jaeyoung felt scared.

How did it come to this? He didn’t know when he fell in love with someone who was not charming and foolish, someone who was not creative and flexible like that, because it happened slowly like a wet piece of clothing, and before he knew it, it had become like this. The understanding that he was wrong to think that sleeping together once would be boring was a complete misunderstanding, because after spending time with Chu Sangwoo that night, Jaeyoung wanted the other person even more.

Sangwoo looked up and glanced at him, still eagerly playing with the child in front of him. Jaeyoung, who used to stand with his arms crossed to block him, couldn’t stand it anymore and hugged him tightly.

“…Foul.”

He drowned in the atmosphere, unable to laugh at Sangwoo’s meaningless words, and chuckled to himself about his unrequited love for the shy person who still refused to let go of the ball even at this time. Jaeyoung felt a flutter in his chest as Sangwoo’s soft, whispered words trailed off.

Sangwoo stood still for a moment before slowly moving away.

“I’ll take the penalty kick.”

Jaeyoung stood and watched Sangwoo take the penalty kick twice without interest, his postures looking almost identical like a copied and pasted frame.

Sangwoo walked closer with a smiling face.

“10 points.”

“Good job, what can I do to make it better?”

Sangwoo breathed out, he looked down at the ground for a moment before looking up at Jaeyoung with his black eyes fixed on his target.

“Kiss me please.”

Jaeyoung wanted to ask ‘Is that all?’ but he didn’t have a chance to ask. He moved closer, cupped his cheeks with his palms, and began to suck and pull on his lips.

Thump, thump, thump, the sound of the basketball bouncing slowly faded away.

The romantic and obstructed feeling filled the night, it was a truly beautiful and good night.

⌘W.

“The work there is okay. What do you think? It’s popular and of good quality.”

“I also want to finish my portfolio this year and submit it to N-Code. Among all the studios there, they accept the most people, but if not, I’ll have to go to the big companies for money.”

Jaeyoung drank his soju quietly on a cool Saturday evening when he received a call from a friend from the same year asking him to come out to eat before going to the liquor store. Originally, there were two seniors who he knew, but one of them’s girlfriend called him back in the middle, leaving only three people left. They were all about to graduate from E-Design this year, so finding a job became the main topic of conversation.

“Will DEX only accept one person this year?”

“Is that so?… It’s probably hopeless, it’s still difficult for experienced people to get in, do you think new graduates can?”

“Did you know that the president of DEX came to the graduation exhibition last year?”

“Designer Kim Soo-han, really?”

“Yes, he looked great and had a top-notch style. At that time, people were laughing and talking about him like a celebrity. Plus, when we walked around the exhibition, he even said he liked some of the works and asked for the owner’s phone number.”

“Oh, damn… who’s the lucky one over there? They must be working there now. I’m so jealous.”

“Who else could it be? It’s the person sitting right in front of you.”

Jaeyoung, who was quietly drinking, became the target of both of their gazes. The senior, who only knew him by his appearance, asked what he was doing there. When Jaeyoung just laughed without answering, his friend explained it to him.

“He’s taking the TOEFL because he’s going to study abroad.”

“Then why isn’t he going?”

“He got too much attention. He was caught using another to sign his name during a roll call, so he didn’t graduate.”

Then they both laughed heartily. Jaeyoung accepted being the subject of their banter and let them have fun. He knew it wasn’t meant to be malicious, even though there was a hint of jealousy.

“So, Jaeyoung, why haven’t you been in touch? Why haven’t you shown your face lately?”

“I’ve been really busy lately.”

He didn’t know when they became close, but Jaeyoung smiled inwardly and didn’t mind.

 

 

“It seems like he has a girlfriend.” His friend smirked mischievously. Then the topic of conversation changed.

“He hasn’t shown his face, and he doesn’t answer his phone. When I walked by, I saw his car parked in the parking lot.”

“Oh, it seems like he’s in the library. Who is it? Let’s see a picture. Don’t tell me there isn’t one.”

The two of them were excitedly guessing the names of female students they were close to last semester.

“Is it Soren?”

“Oh, come on, that’s too obvious. It must be Jung Minjun, one of the dancing club members.”

“I know. It’s Yoona! It has to be her, she looks so scary.”

“Oh my god, you’re crazy. If it’s not Jung Minjun, then it must be Joong

Sooyooon, one of the violin majors. I’m sure of it.”

They even blurted out the name of someone he had almost dated, but now it didn’t mean anything. Jaeyoung quietly drank and let them guess at something that would never be accidentally revealed.

SMNTCERR, Chapter 61: Yellow #3.

Jaeyoung never thinks about the future, as the distant future is just a present of some day. Therefore, he believes in doing what he wants at the moment and living happily, and now, at the present moment. Jaeyoung is currently infatuated with Chu Sangwoo. And what could be the problem with that?

He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, which made him feel better. Then he exhaled slowly until his lungs were empty.

“I mean, seriously… Why do you care about those things? Who knows if we’ll still feel the same way about each other when that time comes? Just focus on the present, it’s already complicated enough. I don’t have the energy to think about those things.”

Jaeyoung spoke rudely. The other person told him to start counting down the days from today and then practice crying and saying goodbye, make matching rings, and promise not to forget each other even when they’re apart.

It’s pointless.

What’s worse is that Chu Sangwoo, who is afraid of getting bad grades, doesn’t understand that having such a strong sexual desire could be heartbreaking for someone who has to go back to school abroad in two months.

They are different.

“Just do those stupid things by yourself. Don’t force them on others.”

Yoona remained silent for a while and just looked up at the empty sky while smoking two cigarettes in a row. Jaeyoung waited patiently.

“That’s right. Maybe it’s because the situation is too similar. I just got carried away.”

Finally, Yoona said what she wanted to say, “Sorry for being confused.” Jaeyoung respected the other’s straightforwardness. Although their personalities and ideas are different, it’s because of that that they have been friends until now.

“Well… have you been gay since the beginning?”

“Probably not. I don’t know.”

Jaeyoung answered directly. He never really thought about it seriously.

“Jaeyoung-ah.”

Yoona only called him that when she’s teasing him.

“Even though you have to part, please behave yourself a little, it will hurt the kid.”

The girl frowned and spoke in a teasing manner, not realizing how he’s been living lately.

“Oh, poor thing… You can tell that kid has never had a boyfriend before. I don’t know what he did to end up with this crazy guy.”

Jaeyoung laughed as if it were a joke. Who knows who’s really caught up with whom. From Jaeyoung’s perspective, it’s Chu Sangwoo who’s caught up with him and is struggling, while the one who’s fishing doesn’t even realize that there’s a fish on the hook because they’re too busy looking elsewhere. Although Yoona may be misunderstanding, Jaeyoung has no intention of explaining anything.

“Do you think that kid is stupid or something? He said he’s had a boyfriend before.”

“He’s lying.”

“What’s the lie? Even if someone like him were to be threatened with death, he wouldn’t lie.”

“I can’t imagine it at all.” Yoona tilted her head.

Jaeyoung didn’t respond. He had thought like that before, but now it was different, like a whirlpool that was hard to see at first glance. Once you stepped in, you could only be sucked down. Jaeyoung didn’t delude himself into thinking that he was the only one who saw the charm of Chu Sangwoo in this world.

“In the end, won’t you still have to leave things off? There are two people in there, do not do the annoying things.”

Yoona ran down the stairs outside the building, waving her hand without looking back. Jaeyoung reached into his pants pocket and looked up at the sky.

Then he hurriedly walked back into the building.

⌘W.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

The atmosphere was so beautiful that he blurted it out to himself, the sky at sunset chasing after indigo [1] and purple tones.

The atmosphere at dusk looked clear and was perfect for skateboarding, but Jaeyoung was chained to his desk by his evil boss to work like a slave.

The graphics side. There were some changes to Flow Chart [2] and there was a part that needed some minor adjustments, and the main work was to make it compatible with various devices. Most of the design work was done, so he could breathe a sigh of relief, but on the development side, they were fighting tooth and nail against bugs. On Sangwoo’s screen, even people who knew nothing about coding like Jaeyoung knew that it wasn’t a good sign.

‘Because the reset isn’t complete… ‘Blah blah blah.’ The code that manages the data, ‘Blah blah blah.’ As for the central variable…’

He remembered asking the other party what it meant. And in the end, he didn’t get anything back, so he didn’t think about trying again.

Jaeyoung looked out the window for a moment. When he returned to his seat, he saw that Sangwoo had stopped working and was looking at him.  Jaeyoung guessed that the other party might have something to ask for.

“What’s up?”

“I see that you just keep looking out the window.”

“It’s just because the weather is nice today.”

 

 

If you want to go out, you can go.”

What was this about? Chu Sangwoo had never allowed him to take a break without reason before. Was he being kind because their relationship was progressing? Jaeyoung thought it would be good if it was the latter.

“Then I am going to go out today. See you tomorrow.” Sangwoo spoke happily and stretched his back.

The other person couldn’t be called stupid. Even though they were just joking around, they were actually someone who didn’t think much. They just thought, “He probably wants to go on a trip,” or something like that. They didn’t think about who he wanted to go on the trip with. Jaeyoung looked up at the sky before spinning his chair in a circle.

“Sangwoo.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go play basketball.”

The sound of typing stopped. Sangwoo was silent for about ten seconds before answering.

“I don’t think I’m free for that.”

Suddenly, the other person became soft like jelly. Jaeyoung, who originally thought the answer would be “I’m not free,” smiled widely before lazily leaning over and kissing Sangwoo’s cheek without hesitation.

“I’m going out first. Follow me after you finish packing.”

Sangwoo hesitated before following, and the two walked down the stairs without saying anything, as if they were lost in thought until they came out into the darkness. When he saw the other person blushing like when they walked together at the Jeonryundong Wall, Jaeyoung felt his heart skip a beat as if he had just had his first girlfriend.

“Hyung, are you good at basketball?”

The other person asked during that time.

“I don’t think I am bad.”

He answered modestly, but the truth was that basketball was Jaeyoung’s most confident sport. He had been obsessed with it since high school and played it frequently. When he was in college, he even joined the basketball club with his friends and competed in friendly matches.

“Then I’ll probably lose. I haven’t played since the end of high school.”

“Just play for fun. Don’t worry about it.”

Even so, I don’t want to lose.”

When he thought about it, Sangwoo had said before that he wasn’t good at playing games. Even though he was someone who excelled in competition and had higher standards than others, he didn’t seem that way on the outside. That’s why Jaeyoung thought the other person was interesting and suitable for learning, whether it was software or hardware.

“Basketball is over here.”

“I’m going to get it.”

The basketball that Jaeyoung was talking about was at the student club. This was the second time he had come here with Sangwoo, after they had come to find clothes for a short Chinese-language play. While they were walking up the stairs, Jaeyoung asked.

“Have you been here before? Do you remember?”

“On Friday, March 8th, right? That day, you took off my hat in the dressing room. I was so angry.”

“…”

It would be better not to talk about it at that time. Moreover, what made

Jaeyoung startled was that it had been two months since then… If he had told himself at that time that the relationship between the two of them would turn out like this, he would not have believed it and would have laughed it off.

He walked alongside Sangwoo until they reached the door. Even though it was late, there were still loud noises coming from inside the room, as if they were having a meeting. During this time, they were preparing for the annual performance, and while he thought that they were preparing inside, he knocked on the door twice. As soon as he opened the door, the loud noise suddenly quieted down.

“I just came to get something. Please continue.”

As he walked inside, the younger members made murmuring sounds.

“Hey, sunbae!”

“Oh, you’re here, sunbae! We’ve been waiting for you!”

“Please have a seat right here, big brother.”

He knew the president, vice president, and secretary, but the other four people were kids he didn’t know. Jaeyoung hid his hand that was trying to grab him. Then he walked to the box to look for something, and the club president walked over and patted his shoulder.

You must be very tired during this time. It’s been tough working all the time.”

“Oh, yes, please take your hand off me.”

It seemed like more of a rubbing of the shoulder than a massage. The vice president handed him a black can of drink and said, “Please have a drink.” The logo on the drink can looked familiar, and he was surprised that there was still “Black Holic” left in the club room. It never expired or anything.

“…It’s better if I don’t drink that.”

He refused politely and picked up the basketball that was in his shoe pile. As he was about to leave the room, he was grabbed by both arms and forced to sit on the sofa. Sangwoo, who was standing at the door, hugged his chest and laughed at him.

“What do you have there?”

In fact, he knew very well that these people had been asking him to play the lead role, direct, and design the poster for the annual performance since the beginning of the year. Although he seemed to have given up on the poster, he was still contacted to participate in the performance until the latest phone number of the club president was added to the spam list.

Jaeyoung had to refuse. The first reason was that he was already busy with part-time jobs, hobbies, daily life, and relationship issues. The second reason was that he had taken on the roles of lead actor, director, and poster designer for the play “The Death of Salesman” last year. Although Jaeyoung had some thick skin, when he thought back to the time when he was promoting the play, “The Final Stage Play” his face suddenly became hot and he wondered how he could show his face in a theater performance again.

“Senior… can’t you help us out? I heard you say that you are busy, so we changed to performing smaller roles instead.”

“Just this once, please? Why won’t you answer my calls lately?”

“We need to cherish our valuable memories before we graduate. Please, can you understand just this once? Can you? There are people waiting to see your final performance, can you give me the list?”

Jaeyoung pushed past the younger students, hugged the basketball tightly, and walked past each person blocking the exit.

“You said it was the last festival I would help with, didn’t you? You said to think of it as if I’ve already graduated.”

But it’s not over yet!” Jaeyoung quickly closed the door before the club president, who seemed to be about to burst in, could come out.

“Hmph.” He shook off his scattered thoughts and straightened his wrinkled shirt. After he tucked the basketball under his arm, he looked to the side and saw Sangwoo covering his mouth and laughing. He didn’t know if he had thought of it himself or if he had noticed the other side’s changing expression.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Jaeyoung’s tone indicated that he didn’t really understand. He replied that he didn’t know either and started to walk away. Once outside, he picked up the basketball and headed towards the court. He showed off his special ability by throwing the ball high and catching it. Then he spun the ball on his finger before Sangwoo asked with his mouth covered,

“What role did they ask you to play?”

“It’s a guest role that takes about five minutes. I declined because I’m not available, so I can’t come.”

“What kind of role is it?”

“I don’t know, maybe a pirate or something. It’s a role that comes out for five minutes and then dies.”

Sangwoo remained silent. Although Jaeyoung liked the dry and hoarse voice of the other side, he also liked it when it was quiet like this. Maybe it was because it was a beautiful evening, everything looked good. Although there was nothing special, it was another day that would be remembered for a long time. He felt that today would be like that for sure, the dark purple sky made him feel like he was in a fantasy world, and Jaeyoung liked that he was going to play basketball with a boy who had no romantic angle at all. “It’s a shame.”  At that moment, Sangwoo perked up.

“What’s up?”

“I’ve never been to a drama club performance before. And now I won’t have the chance to see one.”

Jaeyoung turned to look at Sangwoo’s profile. It was an incomplete sentence and didn’t sound like Sangwoo’s usual way of speaking. But he didn’t ask what the other meant. He couldn’t ask such a question before the feeling of suffocation, like drowning, that had arisen during this period subsided.

Jaeyoung started bouncing a basketball.

 

 

Inadvertently, they both ended up standing on the green court. Jaeyoung walked to the center line and looked at Sangwoo, who was standing far away. The other’s skin looks paler than usual, having been surrounded by intense ultramarine color [3].

“Wanna bet ten points?”

“Sure.”

SMNTCERR, Chapter 60: Yellow #2.

   Accidentally, it’s impossible. There are surprises  form Sangwoo all the time, a certain and intentional heart that intends to bite the other side disappears in the blink of an eye. Even though the name ‘Jaeyoung ㅅㅂ♨’ is not as pleasing as

   ‘Jaeyoung-Hyung♥’ after hearing the explanation, he felt somewhat pleased. However, the fact that he upgraded from ‘NonPaddler 3’ is a good encouragement. Otherwise, he would not have escaped and become ‘Sunabe

   Jang Jaeyoung, Virtual Arts Design’ like everyone else. As soon as he sees Jaeyoung’s face, Sangwoo speaks up.

   “Don’t get too immersed in data for just a few bytes.”[1.]

   “Who’s getting too immersed?”

   “Both you and my father, that’s it. It’s just a few characters, it can’t be a big deal.”

   “And how do you like it? If I still remember your name as a bad person.”

   “I don’t care because I’m not a bad person.”

   Sangwoo spoke as if it wasn’t important, but then he raised his hand as if he remembered something.

   “Let me see. What did you save my name for?”

   “… It’s a secret.”

   Jaeyoung took out his phone and hid it in his shirt pocket. Sangwoo quickly gave in. The other side went back to sitting in its original place, examining the schedule with an indifferent expression, while Jaeyoung stuffed a white plastic bag into the drawer.

   “I have to put on the sound this week. I’ve found some free sound effects that are usable without copyright and I’m about to send the link via email.

   Please check and let me know how it goes.”

   “How is the sound quality?”

   “It varies. I think if I look carefully, there should be something usable.”

   “The sound effects may not matter, but it would be better to have a looping opening song and BGM. Let me gather information on that.”

   “Okay.”

   Then, the sound of keyboard typing and mouse clicks came from the right side, but Jaeyoung’s hand, which had been still since Sangwoo appeared, had no intention of moving again. Jaeyoung sneakily glanced at Sangwoo before lifting his coffee to take a sip. Then he sneakily looked at Sangwoo again and lifted his phone to play with it. Afterwards, he sneakily looked at Sangwoo once more and raised his hand to touch his own collar. ‘How did I let you sit next to me until this point?’

   He wants to touch, kiss, and hug the other person from behind until his body is satisfied. Having to come up with excuses just to touch the other person a little bit. Although the relationship has developed to a certain extent, it seems pointless. At least for Jaeyoung, he used to think that once he got a kiss, he would unlock the hand-holding. Once he got a kiss, he would receive a coupon to do whatever he wanted. Once there was sex, he would have the privilege of accessing each other’s bodies, but when it comes to the other person, even just touching their cheek requires thinking and thinking again.

   ‘Doing something forcefully wont work.’

   Chu Sangwoo determines the direction of this relationship. If Jaeyoung is going up the elevator, the other person wants to be going up the stairs. No matter what Jaeyoung tries to do, it turns out that the other person is still down there. sometimes seeming to stop where they were, but as soon as he realizes it, the other person is catching up. Or at least when Sangwoo stops in place. Jaeyoung can only press the elevator stop button and wait without any choice, this relationship continues like that.

   “What are you doing?”

   A sudden sound caused Jaeyoung to escape from his thoughts. Sangwoo, who dragged a chair to sit next to the light from the screen, looked at the other side with eyes full of the excitement of the other person.

   “What’s this?”

   Sangwoo minimized the screen, causing the pink circle that had been enlarged to fill the screen to shrink. When it shrank to 100%, the nipple that Jaeyoung had poured his body and soul into the light and shadow turned into just a small dot. Sangwoo sat still, looking at the character wearing a swimsuit ready with a swimming ring around his waist.

   “Let me fix the button first. The part that requires money to buy can be done later.”

   “I want to do this first.”

   The two characters of Veggie Venturer, are named Chuchu and Jaejae, respectively. At first, Sangwoo suggested the names ‘Chelsu and Jaeyoung’. After  arguing for a while, they changed their names. They planned to sell it from the beginning of the game. Both characters would wear basic costumes, but when they bought and installed cash items, their performance would be upgraded.

   “How far have you done?”

   Jaeyoung saved the file before opening the completed part for Sangwoo to see. He has completed all ten, including Lockstar Chuchu, Teacher Chuchu,

   Dugout Chuchu, Spiritual Chuchu, Mafia Chuchu, Mechanic Chuchu, Savage Tribe Chuchu, Barista Chuchu, Yipsee Chuchu, and currently making Swimsuit Chuchu.

   “You’ve been working on so many since when?”

   “Look, you can change eye color and hair color too.”

   “I’ve never heard of such a thing before.”

   “Well, I’m telling you now.”

   Every time Jaeyoung presses the keyboard, Chuchu’s hairstyle, holding a carrot with a pouting face, changes continuously, including soft waves, tousled bob, skinhead undercut, crimped, half-up, cat sport. And then tied in a bun. They are all hairstyles that he wants to see Sangwoo actually do, especially the skinhead undercut, because Sangwoo is a person with a handsome bald head, he thinks it would look very good if he did it. Sangwoo hugs his chest, looks at the green-eyed character with brown hair tied neatly.

   “That’s good, but as I said, this is not important. And what about Jaejae?” “Did the same”.

   Jaeyoung opens the character’s cache item image file for Sangwoo to see briefly, then Sangwoo raises his eyebrows and taps his fingers on the table.

   “This is clearly gender discrimination, well done”.

   “Why? The number is the same”.

   “You think I can’t tell that you just changed the skirt color and copied and pasted it?”

   Speaking directly made it seem like he couldn’t figure it out.

   “It’s not like that. Make both characters the same quality. And first, start fixing the buttons”.

   “Wait, let me finish this…”.

   Jaeyoung opens the project file again and zooms in on the right chest of

   Chuchu in a swimsuit, making a low murmuring sound, wondering what the other party might be doing in the background, then he focuses on adding threedimensional details to the image.

   “Now the hyung you look…”.

   “Sexy?”.

   “Seems like you have a psychopath.”

   “How do you know I’m thinking about indecent things?”

   Finally, there was a valid excuse to touch the other party. Jaeyoung reaches out to hug Sangwoo’s waist and slowly slides in to find himself. He extends his finger along Sangwoo’s buttock and speaks softly.

   “I am not gentle, you can understand me.”

   “How about doing this in the office? We’re not just two people here.”

   Sangwoo withdraws his hand and whispers. Jaeyoung laughs, leans closer, and lightly taps his own lips a few times with his finger. Sangwoo sees it and shakes his head, moving away.

   “You come here quickly before I go on a strike”.

   “Are you crazy? This is the workplace”.

   “Otherwise, I’ll take your hard disk and run away. One kiss and I’ll send you one file”.

   “How can a computer newbie like you remove a hard disk, hyung?”

   “Seriously, I’m clueless about computers.”

   Sangwoo couldn’t help but laugh without realizing it. The sight of the other person smiling widely didn’t happen often until now. But it seemed that the reason for the lack of eye contact was not just because it was difficult to see. Originally, Jaeyoung thought of giving up the teasing, but when he saw

   Sangwoo moving closer, he started teasing again. As he poked his waist, Sangwoo immediately twisted and put his hand on his back, asking why he was doing this. However, the other party could do nothing but burst into laughter.

   Sangwoo laughed as if he was about to burst into tears and used his foot, clad in Jaeyoung’s belly sneakers. The gesture looked surprisingly cute.

   “Ah, stop, please. I… I’m really tired.”

   ‘I want to eat you.’

   Suddenly, the joking atmosphere disappeared and turned into an erotic one, 18+ only, at that moment they thought they wanted to become animals to know and survive. If they weren’t human, but two dogs, they would probably wag their tails like yesterday.

   Bang!

   At that time, the person who was completely forgotten made a grand entrance. An orange light glimmered and hit Jaeyoung’s foot. Jaeyoung picked it up casually and turned around slowly, encountering Yoona standing still with a strange shoulder gesture.

   Sangwoo quickly pulled his hand away from the table, returned to his seat, and stared at the computer screen as if nothing had happened, even though his ears were turning red.

   Jaeyoung signaled with his hand for Yoona to go back and sit down. A few days ago, she came to ask something, so he already prepared a little, but he didn’t know why the other party was so surprised. The sound of mouse clicks and keyboard typing continued in the tense atmosphere before Yoona spoke up.

   “Jang-Jaeyoung, do you want to smoke downstairs?”

   Jaeyoung picked up the pack of cigarettes and a lighter and stood up without saying anything. When he pointed towards the door, Yoona walked out with the slipper first. Jaeyoung gently brushed the back of Sangwoo’s head before following the girl out.

   “Are you two sleeping together?”

   Yoona asked immediately upon reaching the first floor. Among the people

   Jaeyoung knew, Choi Yoona spoke straight to the point without beating around the bush ‘but that was before he had met Chu Sangwoo’ Jaeyoung didn’t rush to answer, but instead flicked the cigarette ash and took a deep drag, Yoona continued with a sharp tone.

   “Just interested, huh? But you still managed to deceive a vulnerable kid, didn’t you?”

   “What do you want?”

   He couldn’t let that remark pass. Jaeyoung exhaled cigarette smoke and glanced at his friend’s tense face. Yoona was not a calculating person, nor a hottempered one, but rather somewhat reserved when it came to matters of love. Therefore, if she wasn’t currently involved with anyone, she would often get lost in past stories, and now it was happening again.

   “Is that kid the same as well? It’s not like he’s unaffected or anything.”

   “Whose side are you on? You should ask me before getting involved, right?”

   “It’s not your loss if you’re dating someone else. But that guy has a different story. What are you going to do next?”

   The other party’s voice sounded sarcastic. Jaeyoung replied with annoyance.

   “And what have you been up to? Who do you think you are?”

   Hearing that, Yoona fell silent. She was not unaware that her actions had a profound impact on other people’s relationships. Since they first met and became close, she had never been like this before. Yoona continued to silently smoke her cigarette before speaking again.

   “I’ve been concerned ever since I heard from you earlier. But I thought I wouldn’t meddle. But in just a few days, you guys went from one extreme to another. You’re acting irresponsibly. Playing around with a kid like that. And what about when you leave him to study abroad? Is that kid not going to suffer?”

   Jaeyoung threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stomped on it with his foot. Who was playing with whom? Who would abandon whom? 

   Irritating and tangled. Is this the era of Chosun? Just sleeping together once requires a lifetime of responsibility.

   “You’re being too harsh.”

   He knew that the girl had talked a lot with one guy. She had been so infatuated with that guy that they had an ugly breakup before. And it had left Yoona heartbroken to this day, even after half a year. But that was her business, and he had no intention of allowing her to interfere in someone else’s personal life.

   “Just because you choose to date only bad people, do you think everyone in the world is like that?”

   “You’re right. Yeah. I’ve been hurt badly by that evil guy. And what you’re doing to that kid, how is it any different?”

   “Then why do I have to explain those things to you? If you don’t understand deeply, don’t speak so lightly.”

   With hair color faded to a golden hue, swaying in the wind, Yoona’s face seemed to reflect her own sadness.

SMNTCERR, Chapter 59: Yellow #1.

It had been a long time since he woke up with the feeling of someone sleeping close to him, let alone that person turning out to be a man named Chu Sangwoo, which made it even more strange.

Jaeyoung carefully examined the side profile of the man lying with his arm propped up, scrutinizing his sharp and intelligent features, with a nose and eyelashes that made his face look sharp and clever when forgotten. In contrast, the fair skin around the neck connecting to the collarbone gave a sense of boyishness. Jaeyoung greatly enjoyed the conflicting emotions displayed on this face.

Sunlight shone brightly through the window, and the sun’s rays danced on the black hair and eyebrows, creating a romantic atmosphere in the morning.

As he leaned down for a hug, Sangwoo blinked and slowly opened his eyes. The person being hugged blinked for a moment before widening his eyes and turning around to find. Jaeyoung with a confident smile.

“Did you sleep well?”

Sangwoo fully opened his eyes and glanced, seemingly reflecting on what happened last night from his facial expression. When the other party raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, it seemed like a restless movement, but that was probably because his body was more exposed. “Yes.”  Answering the question, Sangwoo sat up.

“Jesus…”

The other party groaned uncomfortably and walked away, stumbling.

‘Did I overdo it?’

It seemed like the unexpected had become a normal occurrence for Jaeyoung. It was the same yesterday. At first, he intended to enhance the atmosphere by drinking wine beforehand. Then he waited for Sangwoo to come to him. He would then melt and control the other party from head to toe, managing the game conveniently. He intended to use gentle and perfect techniques to impress that having sex with him was sweet and satisfying.

However, while waiting in front of the door for over ten minutes, Jaeyoung’s imagination ran wild to the point where he almost lost control of his body. And it was difficult to endure until the appointed time, so he tried to use that intense heat to melt the cool other party like ice. But during the struggle, he accidentally said something inappropriate. Furthermore, even after putting it in, the other party still didn’t seem to feel anything and asked to take it out.

Even though it was already inserted, he wondered why the other party still couldn’t concentrate. Was it because it was their first time having anal sex, or was it because they had a special “centerline”? Jaeyoung was struggling in a difficult situation and ended up feeling too overwhelmed in the end.

Moreover, he unintentionally became more aggressive than intended.

 

 

Sangwoo walked into the bathroom without saying anything. In the room, only Jaeyoung remained. He leaned against the pillow and pondered about the sensations he experienced last night, realizing that humans have sexual feelings 24 hours a day.

Jaeyoung lay still for a while before getting up from the bed and walking to open the window. Then he walked around the room to pick up the scattered remnants of last night, picked up his clothes, threw away the trash, put the bedsheet in the laundry machine, and tidied the room. He didn’t like cleaning and wasn’t skilled at it, but if he didn’t do it, Sangwoo would have to do it, so he had no choice.

Sangwoo came out of the bathroom when Jaeyoung finished sweeping the room and was drinking water. The other party was in a state with wet hair and wearing both the upper and lower parts, different from when they entered with only underwear. Seeing that the other party took a long shower, Jaeyoung made a sarcastic remark.

“Were you jerking off in there?”

“…”

He just said that, but it seemed true judging by his expression. Sangwoo stood still with an anxious face. As he handed a glass of water, he drank it all at once, and his gaze carefully looked at Jaeyoung’s face.

“You’re not leaving, huh?”

“Going.”

Looking at the clock, it was almost noon.

“Lunchtime, huh?”

“I’ll find something to eat myself.”

In the cupboard, there were only ready-to-eat authentic curry dishes. He wanted to buy food for him, but judging by his expression, he would probably be rejected with the reason ‘I want to be alone’ That’s probably it.

Sangwoo hesitated as he tried to sit down on the chair and ended up sitting halfway. When asked what was wrong, the other party gestured for him to hurry up. Jaeyoung knew that now was the time to retreat, but he couldn’t bring himself to step back.

“Do you have to go part-time today?”

“I will take a break first, then go.”

Where are you going in that condition? Where is your phone.”

The other party’s face seemed puzzled as to why he was asking like that. Jaeyoung glanced around the room before walking over to search Sangwoo’s backpack and took out his phone. Sangwoo simply drank water and slumped onto the desk as if he didn’t care about what Jaeyoung was going to do. Jaeyoung looked at the other party thoughtfully, dialed the game store owner’s number, and made the call.

[Sangwoo. Is there something wrong?]

“Hello. I’m a close friend of Sangwoo’s. Today, he’s not feeling well, so I’ll work in his place.”

[Oh, is he really unwell?]

“I don’t think he can go anywhere today.”

[Have you worked at a game store before?]

Although he had no working part-time anywhere other than a restaurant, Jaeyoung chose to answer yes. The store owner told him to come in thirty minutes and expressed concern for Sangwoo. After hanging up, Jaeyoung turned to face Sangwoo, who was staring at him.

“…I don’t think you need to do that.”

“You can stay here.”

“But there’s a lot of cleaning to do. Plus, organizing the storage room, preparing food, and handling the money.”

“I’ll take care of it myself.”

Sangwoo sighed with a face that Jaeyoung couldn’t tell if he didn’t trust him or if he felt guilty.

“Thank you. I’ll transfer today’s wages to you once the salary is out.”

Jaeyoung blinked his eyes. He didn’t expect to receive such a simple thank you, but he didn’t miss the opportunity for a good gesture.

“Don’t worry about the money. Let me ask something else instead.”

“What do you mean?”

“Starting tomorrow, save me with a new name.”

He said as he slipped the phone into Sangwoo’s hand, actually accidentally seeing that his own number was still recorded as ‘NonPaddler 3’, in the midst of searching through the address book. Sangwoo responded casually, as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“Sure.”

The condition is that you must add a special symbol.”

“What symbol?”

“There is a prohibition , no words like graphic, design, artistic, intense, hyung, included.”

Sangwoo’s face seemed to say, ‘I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all,’ for a moment before changing back to a calm expression.

“Understood.”

“Then take a break.”

Jaeyoung licked his lips on the other side and headed towards the door.

‘Why do I have to have sympathy to this extent?’

He wondered as he walked down the stairs, why he had to pretend to be sympathetic. Although he was skilled at pretending to be gentle, fundamentally, Jaeyoung was a human who cared little about others. Wherever he went, he always maintained basic manners, but he hated annoying things and wasn’t a soft-hearted person. However, he didn’t know why Jaeyoung felt sympathy for the person sitting hunched over the table.

Jaeyoung started the car and drove out, but his destination wasn’t home. He headed towards the most delicious restaurant in the area, bought kimchi stew, spicy tofu stew, and two servings of rice, wrapped them up, and bought skinsoothing ointment from a pharmacy for the swollen, discolored skin. He stopped by a convenience store and picked up drinks, seat cushions, snacks, eggs, fresh meat, stir-fry dishes, and fruits according to his thoughts, then paid and realized he was holding two large plastic bags. Finally, he stopped by a bakery and bought some bread before driving back to Sangwoo’s house.

After knocking on the door and waiting for a moment, the door opened, and he walked past Sangwoo, who was standing in an unusual posture, and placed the six bags on the floor.

“Eat this now, and save this for a warm meal later.”

He took out the stew and placed it on the table, put the seat cushion on the chair, and stored the bottled fruit juice, yogurt, other snacks, and fresh fruits in the refrigerator.

“The rest, if you’re hungry, take it out and eat.”

He placed the box of fruit, the bag of chewy snacks, and the bag of bread on the floor, all of them before picking up the medicine in the small leaf bag and squeezing it into Mr. Sangwoo’s hand.

This part is for applying when it hurts.”

 

 

Sangwoo frowned as if he didn’t understand. Jaeyoung walked to the door, determined to really leave this time. But in the end, he couldn’t take it anymore, turned around again, kicked off the single shoe he had on, threw it halfway, and walked back into the room, grabbing the absent minded figure of the man and hugging him tightly. Sangwoo handed himself over quietly without resistance.

“Last night was really great.”

Jaeyoung spoke softly. Even though he acted as if he didn’t feel anything, deep down in his mind was filled with Sangwoo’s joyful expression. After a moment, Sangwoo responded.

“No, that’s a lie. You didnt cum, hyung.”

“Well, I cummed once, isn’t it?”

“Because I’m not good enough, right?”

“Not even a bit.”

Even though Jaeyoung had to both coax and comfort the other party, and even had to endure some insults, in the end, things turned out fine. It was a bit regrettable that it was mistimed.

“Take a break. And don’t think about practicing anything strange.”

“Okay.”

Jaeyoung hurriedly left, thinking that it wouldn’t be safe to stand so close together like this. Sangwoo didn’t stop him.

Jaeyoung descended the stairs clumsily. As soon as he came out of the building, he was greeted by the clear sky. However, he didn’t go straight to the car, but instead stopped to bask in the sunlight next to the bike parking area, smoking a cigarette.

‘Have you achieved your goal?’

After being rejected so earnestly, despite having an important matter ahead of him, how difficult it must have been. Jaeyoung squeezed out every trick in the book to try and sleep with Chu Sangwoo once, and he had to use superhuman patience to avoid touching the other party even by a fingertip. When he got what he wanted, he should have felt relieved and ready to dump him, but behind that satisfaction was a sense of uneasiness that he didn’t understand. 

Jaeyoung didn’t like this clouded feeling at all.

“Or is it because I did not cum like that kid said?”

He smiled slightly and extinguished the cigarette he had just smoked, tossing it into the trash bin after only half a drag.

⌘W.

The next day, Sangwoo appeared in the office at the same time with an expression as if nothing had happened. Jaeyoung hoped to see the other party not wearing a helmet because he left it in his car, but the man put on a slightly older-looking helmet that had a similar design but seemed more worn out. He didn’t expect there to be a spare one. “We haven’t seen each other for a while.” Yoona greeted and glanced at Jaeyoung.

“Yes.”

Sangwoo strode in, placed his backpack on the empty table, unzipped it, and took out a notebook. After plugging the mouse into the computer, instead of sitting down, Sangwoo picked up something and threw it to Jaeyoung. In a white plastic bag with the pharmacy’s logo, there was a belt buckle, a pair of black shorts, and a folded pair of Jaeyoung’s socks, as if they had been washed for him.

“Giving you the things you left behind. I want my hat back. And then…”

The other party spoke calmly. Then they turned to make sure Yoona was looking the other way, then leaned in closer to Jaeyoung before using their hand to cover their mouth and whisper softly in his ear.

“Did you put on my underwear? Bring them back tomorrow.”

“Ha? Oh…”

Jaeyoung spoke hesitantly, like a timid person.

“And I did as you requested.”

Sangwoo handed him a phone. When he received it and unlocked it, he found a contact list. He scrolled down with excitement, searching for the name that used to be around but is now somewhere else. He scrolled and scrolled, continuously, and finally found it.

[Jaeyoung, ㅅㅂ♨.]

“…”

Although he did not expect the other party to save his name as

“JaeyoungHyung♥.” immediately, he thought it was a bit too much. And even though the words “Hyung, ㅅㅂ.” were considered prohibited terms which meant “elder brother.” he saw them as something else now.

“Translator’s note: ㅅㅂ. In this case, it is an abbreviation for 선배, which means “senior” “Sunbae = elder brother”. However, by chance (?) the word 씨발 or 시발 is pronounced as ‘sheebal’ or ‘shibal’. The ‘shee’ part of the first word is pronounced heavier is a curse word meaning fuck, shit. And its abbreviation is ㅅㅂ, just like this.”

“Are you satisfied?”

Sangwoo took the phone from Jaeyoung’s hand, who was still staring at the screen until it was almost dark, and put it in his backpack.

“This symbol, what does it mean?”

“Do I have to tell you?”

“Hmm.”

“I’ve tried looking at all the symbols. That one suits you “hyung” the most.”  “It’s not a star ☆. It’s not an emphasis symbol, ※. It’s not a musical note, ♬, which means relaxation, but it’s ♨, which means a hot bath. Just kidding.”

“Well, it’s always boiling hot. When I’m with you, hyung.”

“…”

SMNTCERR, Chapter 58 <1000> #5.

   But even though he had already cummed, the center of the other party’s cock still pointed straight up, after measuring the size with his naked eyes.

   Sangwoo is surprised that this thing has entered his body before. When he saw Jaeyoung picking up a new condom, he crawled on his knees and grabbed the other person’s arm.

   “Not like this. Let’s change and do it outside like before.” [I think frotting]

   “Why? No, I haven’t done well yet.”

   “It’s not about not being able to do it. Just doing something better is enough.”

   “Who said I can’t do it!”

   Jaeyoung stammered with a red face before exhaling softly.

   “Because you’re too tight. And… it’s too sexy.”

   “Just think about it. Something that’s tight can’t expand. And something that’s sexy can’t stop being sexy.”

   The other side laughed, still looking relaxed, their gaze fixed on Sangwoo.

   “But I’ve cummed once. We should focus on something else now.”

   Jaeyoung ripped open a new condom packet without giving Sangwoo a chance to refuse. He grabbed the tip and quickly rolled it on before leaning down to be close to Sangwoo’s face.

   “Give me another chance.”

   “…”

   “Just five minutes.”

   Despite being tempted to refuse, Sangwoo couldn’t help but be captivated by Jaeyoung’s serious expression. He was completely drawn in by that gaze.  “…Okay, just five minutes.”

   It wouldn’t make much difference whether they lasted or not. Sangwoo stayed lying down as before, thinking that if the other party wanted it that badly, he would agree to do it again.

   The sound of the gel tube squeezing ended and Jaeyoung pressed down again, but this time the other party flipped Sangwoo over. Adjusting to the force, when he finally moved, he ended up in a prone position.

   “…Hyung?”

   Sangwoo turned to look backwards with an uneasy feeling, but Jaeyoung pressed down again and slowly entered, replacing the answer. Sangwoo clenched his teeth and started counting backwards from 300. Maybe because this was the second time, he didn’t feel the same pain and discomfort as the first time. If it went in all the way, it might feel better when repeated. So Sangwoo just waited, but Jaeyoung refused to go all the way in.

   Jaeyoung attached himself to Sangwoo’s back and began to move subtly, resembling someone writing a book or scraping a wall, unlike the moment before when he only barged in abruptly. Judging from the posture that resembled an animal and the internal organ structure, especially the prostate, Sangwoo immediately understood Jaeyoung’s intention.

   “Ah…”

   That was because the tip of the rod grazed against a certain point. Sangwoo clenched his teeth, trying to count backwards again. 220… 219… 218…

   “Sangwoo, are you still counting?”

   “215. And… don’t worry—, ah…”

   Jaeyoung hugged his waist tightly and pushed harder, once again hitting that spot. Sangwoo tightened the bed sheet automatically, secretly thinking that it might be just a coincidence, but then the other party stabbed at the same spot again.

   “You are only halfway through. What has it become? Is this enough?”

   Sangwoo couldn’t answer that question. Just as he was about to respond, a strange feeling intervened, causing him to grit his teeth. If the previous act was a slow exploration, now Jaeyoung was truly digging. It felt good that he was being opened and delved into deep without being violent, unlike the direct stimulation of the cock through frotting. This experience was a sensation he had just experienced for the first time in his life.

   “Ah, ah… Ah, ah…”

   The complex feelings became increasingly chaotic. Even though he bit his lip to suppress the moans, the sensations were pushed back in immediately, causing him to inadvertently keep his mouth open.

   “Wait a moment… Wait a moment, ah…”

   “Why? Is there a problem?”

   “Slowly… Slowly… No, go faster…”

   Sangwoo didn’t know what he was saying, he closed his eyes tightly, trying to hold onto himself and not let go with the strange happiness. Yet, deep down, he also wants to surrender to that feeling. He doesn’t know what his heart truly desires.

   Jaeyoung rested his chin on Sangwoo’s shoulder and pressed their bodies closer together, his hands that used to wander around Sangwoo’s chest and neck now move up to his hairline. Then, the way Jaeyoung caressed the other’s hip and smashed straight forward. Jaeyoung searched and pressed a point that makes Sangwoo’s arm tremble like a coordinate lock and then attacks suddenly.

   And then he increases the speed continuously.

   “Uh, uh, ugh… ah!”

   Sangwoo tries to stiffen his arms to support himself, but no matter how hard he tries to close his mouth, he can’t contain the explosive sound that comes from within, before he even has time to prepare for the first wave of emotions, another wave follows. Sangwoo began to be overwhelmed by that wave that came without resistance, the frequency of movement became faster, counting one number per second. He doesn’t know when but he failed to count numbers anymore.

   “Ah, oh, ahh!”

   His mouth emits strange sounds, sounds that would never escape in normal times, and the breath that hits his ear becomes more intense each time. Then Jaeyoung covered his earlobe tightly, pressing against his body forcefully. Sangwoo felt the overwhelming pleasure reaching his abdomen and let out a moan.

   The arms that have been supporting his body shake until Sangwoo finally collapses. Even though he tries to lift himself up again, fails. Sangwoo is exhausted, leaning his cheek and shoulder against the bed, breathing heavily, until Jaeyoung drops his weight down and hugs him from behind, whispering in his ear.

   “What… is this, want me to stop?”

   Sangwoo turned his face even though he’s still lying face down. Although his body feels strange, even though he’s tormented to the point where tears almost flow, he doesn’t want it to stop. He wants more than this, faster than this, rougher than this. Sangwoo gritted his teeth and screamed in his heart.

   Suddenly, Jaeyoung stopped. Sangwoo, who has become accustomed to the continuous bombardment of happiness, suddenly becomes irritated and turns around to look back. Jaeyoung withdraws and flips Sangwoo over.

   The other party quickly moved in, assuming a position with both legs of Sangwoo draped over their shoulders, forcefully spreading them apart. They used their hands to pry open the rear entrance and inserted his cock back in.

   Jaeyoung emerged and leaned down to silence Sangwoo’s lips. Sangwoo tightly gripped both of Jaeyoung’s arms, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth to endure the pressure as the strong and rigid flesh penetrated him for the third time.

   Jaeyoung acted aggressively from the beginning, thrusting in forcefully until the flesh collided with a loud squelching sound. Then he violently shifted his lower body and began stirring up emotions once again. Sweat dripped from the tip of Jaeyoung’s nose, his face looking so serious it seemed like he was angry.

   “Ah, ah, uh… Ugh, damn, wait a moment…”

   Sangwoo didn’t know what to do, so he held Jaeyoung’s neck tightly. Jaeyoung pressed his palm against his cheek before sliding his fingers, which had lost all patience, into his mouth. Sangwoo clenched his teeth on the fingers in front of his face with great force to prevent himself from succumbing to the mixed sensations of torment and pleasurable swallowing. The storm of intense desire that he encountered for the first time made his body drenched in sweat. At the same time, he automatically lifted his hips to meet the impact. The louder the sound flesh colliding, the more intense the pleasure became.

   Sangwoo was overwhelmed and had to cup and rub his own cock, desperately trying to alleviate the increasing need, while moaning and whimpering. The signs of heightened abnormal male heat trembled in response to stimulation, if even the slightest touch would bring him ultimate pleasure.

   But just then, Jaeyoung grabbed Sangwoo’s moving hand and quickly intertwined their fingers, doing the same with the other hand. Sangwoo was rendered powerless, his arms bound atop his head while his cock was screaming and leaking.

   “Let go. Ah… and let go!”

   Sangwoo struggled, but Jaeyoung used his body to hold him down. The other party only shifted his hips slightly while staring into Sangwoo’s face, silently deciding to attack at the same G spot once again. And every time he collided at that spot, the image in front of Sangwoo blurred, and his previously resisted sexual desire surged higher, as if sprouting wings. His body twisted with the immediate need for release.

   “Fuck you hyung, how many times do I have to tell you to let go!”

   “Huh… Huh… Why are you behaving so indecently? If you are still rude to speak so vulgarly… I will be stopping.”

   Because his hands were held back, preventing Sangwoo from touching his cock. Sangwoo only shifted his hips instead. He couldn’t wait for the person above to enter him again, so he took the opportunity and thrust his hips forward, the sound of flesh colliding creating waves, a faint sound echoing in the small room, and a strong breath bursting out of the lungs like a marathon runner.

   Sangwoo tightly squeezed Jaeyoung’s hand and bit into his shoulder.

   “Damn… You’re already crazy.”

   Jaeyoung whispered amidst moans and gasps, who said not to speak obscenely? He himself was speaking while leaning down to kiss his neck.

   “Huh…”

   “Sangwooya, huh… How many years in prison do you get for making someone lose consciousness for such a crime?”

   “Huh…huh”

   “Huh… Huh… What… Hey, you, I asked… How much is the fine for driving someone crazy?”

   The sound of Jaeyoung’s moaning broke beside his ear. The other party released Sangwoo’s wrist. Then he reached out and grabbed his cock, which was wet and smiling with lubrication. Sangwoo screamed uncontrollably.

   That voice didn’t sound like his own, there was no way it could be his voice, his body being overwhelmed by a man’s genitals and feeling so good that he was intoxicated, but Sangwoo didn’t care, he only cared that all the accumulated strength was directed towards the climax.

   “What does it mean…?”

   “Chu Sangwoo… you are so sexy.”

   Jaeyoung whispered in his ear and thrust his body forward until it reached its peak.

   As he saw the climax of the arousal.. Sangwoo closed his eyes tightly, the fluid trapped inside him was released like a volcano that had been set free, amidst the black image in front of him, there was a burst of bright colors. Even though his eyes were closed, he was still surrounded by light. Sangwoo had never felt like this before.

   “Huh… Huh…”

   Jaeyoung withdrew his body, causing a strange sound, but even so, he was too weak to feel embarrassed and exhausted from the overwhelming pleasure, Jaeyoung’s body seemed filled with sexual energy from head to toe.

   Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to feel so satisfied.

   “You are still hard, huh.”

   Sangwoo felt as if he heard a faint sound coming from afar, while a lingering feeling remained at the fingertips. Sangwoo stared at his sweaty hand in disbelief.

   Slowly regaining consciousness, he looked at the clock, which showed 4:58 am, wondering if it was broken. He also noticed Jaeyoung’s still trembling body and overwhelming emotions. Despite feeling numb, he couldn’t even twitch his fingers. In this state of mind, he didn’t feel like doing anything at all.

   “Are you sleepy? Let me change the sheets and then  we can go to sleep.”

   Sangwoo blinked, and amidst the darkness, Jaeyoung appeared with a freshly folded rectangular sheet instead of getting up. Sangwoo extended his arms wide on the other side. As Jaeyoung curled up and sat down, Sangwoo wrapped his arms around him, hugged him tightly, and immediately closed his eyes.

   “Sangwoo.”

   “…”

   “Are you asleep?”

   With less than an hour left to sleep, just waking up before five o’clock was already a miracle for Sangwoo. When Jaeyoung asked, “Are you asleep, you brat?” seemed to have fallen asleep for real.

SMNTCERR, Chapter 57 <1000> #4.

Jaeyoung’s lips moved down to his abdomen without realizing it. Sangwoo didn’t know when had been left with only underwear. The other side touched and explored everywhere. Only the erect cock that hadn’t been touched yet expanded as if to provoke Jaeyoung until it became obscene, enough to convey and proceed to the next step… The other side didn’t listen at all.

“Stop, please.”

Jaeyoung didn’t respond but bit down on the side of Sangwoo’s body, causing him to unintentionally let out a groan.-Sangwoo was about to get angry, so he sat up, which surprised Jaeyoung.

“Take it off.”

Sang pulled up Jaeyoung’s shirt roughly. He didn’t even unbutton it. When the well-sculpted body was revealed, his breathing became more rapid.

Jaeyoung struggled to remove the shirt completely. Then he looked at Sangwoo.

Even though he hadn’t done anything yet, Sangwoo felt breathless, and Jaeyoung’s flat chest also moved violently.

They were both men, but the shoulders of the person in front of him still looked broader. didn’t know why he had such feelings towards this body. If he had this preference, why didn’t anything happen during high school or even during military service? While Sangwoo was filled with countless questions, Jaeyoung stood up abruptly.

Jaeyoung took a step towards the wall to turn off the lights and then returned.

As the light from the bulb went out, everything was enveloped in darkness. Only a faint light seeped through the window, providing some brightness for them. Sangwoo swallowed nervously, while Jaeyoung walked back and stooped to pick up a discarded condom and lubricant on the floor before tossing his pants aside. Then he climbed back onto the bed wearing only underwear.

The young man stood in the midst of darkness, blinking slowly. As he parted his lips, the gentlest kiss landed them, causing him to close his eyes automatically. In that moment, Jaeyoung embraced Sangwoo from behind and pressed him down again before caressing his body gently in preparation for a tender sexual encounter. The other party chuckled mischievously before whispering softly with a slightly hoarse voice.

“Why does it have to be like this?”

“The flesh…”

“It’s my fault for asking. No need to speak anymore.”

Jaeyoung took off his own underwear and tore open a condom wrapper. Sangwoo intentionally avoided looking at the sight of the other party putting on protection because he already knew where it would go. He thought if he didn’t look directly it would probably be better for his mental state.

“Make sure it’s on correctly. Don’t put it inside out, right?”

“Oh.”

“Did you squeeze the air out at the tip?”

“If you want to be satisfied, why don’t you come and put it on yourself?”

Jaeyoung unwrapped another latex condom before sliding it onto his finger. Seeing the other party apply gel to the tip, Sangwoo felt his throat dry up, but all he could do was bite his lip and bring his legs closer together.

With one hand, Jaeyoung pulled down Sangwoo’s underwear without caring about the position. Then he pressed their bodies together before kissing softly, intending to divert Sangwoo’s attention from the lower part. While kissing until the consciousness blurred, Jaeyoung’s finger slipped inside unnoticed. After that, Sangwoo didn’t notice anything except for the intense unfamiliar sensation.

Jaeyoung continued to explore every corner of Sangwoo’s mouth with his agile tongue. At the same time, he squeezed more gel and moved his finger in a sweeping motion. Sangwoo took a deep breath and held Jaeyoung’s arm around his neck. When the other party mentioned having done this before, he thought of trying to trust this person. If it wasn’t someone experienced, he wouldn’t allow them to engage in such risky behavior.

“Sangwoo-ya…”

Jaeyoung whispered in a hoarse voice, his finger still moving. Sangwoo felt speechless, overwhelmed by the sensation.

“Until when will you continue to act calm?”

“You’ll know soon enough.”

They exchanged responses like fools, feeling the increasing intensity of the strange squeezing that entered his body. It’s not just a finger anymore… Jaeyoung slowly moved his fingers in and out, while Sangwoo leaned forward, firmly gripping the other’s arm.

“Does it hurt?”

“Keep going. I have good endurance.”

He felt like something inside was being pushed out, but as the muscles contracted, he felt even more uncomfortable. Jaeyoung spoke calmly as if he wasn’t inserting his finger into someone else’s back passage.

“I am not doing it to cause pain.”

If you mean the theory that one can feel good through stimulation of the prostate, I already know. It’s a method used to treat urinary tract-related diseases.”

After letting out an annoyed groaning sound for a while, Jaeyoung’s fingers rotated and pressed against certain points. A strange sensation spread throughout Sangwoo’s body and then the other side withdrew his finger.

Sangwoo knew that there was something large touching the entrance.  Although he had anticipated it, he couldn’t suppress the anticipation. Sangwoo tried to push Jaeyoung’s chest out, but he was crushed even closer than before.

“Wait a moment, hyung. Let me measure the diameter first.”

“…Don’t say things like that in this situation, okay?”

“If the rectum is not flexible. Something will go wrong…”

“I don’t mean to hurt you.”

Jaeyoung didn’t smile at all. Sangwoo could feel that the other side was just as tense as him. Sangwoo’s hand was moist with sweat from anxiety. He genuinely thought that he might give in right now, but because this was something he had never experienced before, it was definitely not easy.

Sangwoo bit his lip tightly to prevent any sound from escaping. He endured the pain very well, but because this was something he had never encountered before, it was certainly not easy.

Jaeyoung held Sangwoo’s hand and intertwined their fingers, bending his body slowly forward. The other side touched Sangwoo’s ear with his hand and pressed harder on the edge of his lips than usual. Sangwoo lay still, mouth agape, breathless. His brain was blank, but his heart beat faster, as if all the nerves were concentrated in his lower body. It felt like something was being pushed deeper and deeper, but there was no way to know where it would end.

Jaeyoung nibbled Sangwoo’s lip.

“Are you serious?”

“What… is it?”

Jaeyoung took a deep breath and then slowly replied, word by word.

“Please… please… relax a bit, I’m about to lose it.”

“…”

“Alright, calm down… try thinking about something you enjoy watching to relax, like a backhoe or something.”

What nonsense are you talking about?”

Sangwoo responded with a heavy sigh, his voice filled with anxiety. Jang Jaeyoung might still be playful, but Sangwoo was not. Although this whole situation started because he consented to it, now he felt like it was just a crazy thing.

Jaeyoung raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Sangwoo, his face showing surprise.

“Why are you making that face?”

“It hurts a lot, but it’ll pass.”

“Hyung, what’s wrong? You know who should be hurting more than the other.”

“I don’t know, damn it, it just hurts.”

“Oh…”

Sangwoo felt like crying out.

“Hurry up and finish it.”

“Damn it… look away, it’s not even halfway in yet, what else do you want me to do?”

Sangwoo turned his face away. He didn’t want to see that kind of image even for a moment. According to the theory he had heard, the receiving party should feel more pain, but he didn’t understand why it was reversed like this. It seemed like something was wrong. He leaned his shoulder against Jaeyoung.

“I don’t think I’ll feel good about it, so take it out.”

Jaeyoung turned his face away, stubbornly holding onto Sangwoo’s neck and refusing to let go.

“No. I won’t.”

“Take it out when I’m still speaking nicely.”

“If that’s the case, try memorizing the value of pi. If you can memorize up to a hundred digits, then I’ll take it out.”

“…Do you really think I can’t?”

“Hurry up.”

‘Is this person crazy?’

Although Sangwoo only laughed, Jaeyoung’s face looked serious. He couldn’t understand why we had to go through all this trouble with a cock inserted in our rear passage, but if he didn’t, Jang Jaeyoung would never back down. So he opened his mouth.

Okay, 3.1415926…”

If it’s just hundreds of digits, it shouldn’t take more than two minutes. Just when he thought this crazy story might come to an end, he felt a little relieved. Sangwoo closed his eyes and immersed himself in the numbers that appeared in his mind.

“535897… ah, mmmhpf!”

But Jaeyoung, who had been silent, suddenly inserted another inch further. As Sangwoo stopped talking, the other side also stopped moving. When they both looked, Jaeyoung pretended to act innocently.

“No, nothing, continue.”

“932…38… Oh, mmhpf…”

“Continue, please.”

“46…ahhh… Wait a minute. Stop…”

“Sangwoo-ya, did you forget? Wasn’t you the one who said you could go on for thousands of digits.”

“1,024, digits… Ahh!”

He held back his voice and, at some point, Jaeyoung pushed his way in. Not only did he enter a little bit at a time, but it felt like Jaeyoung’s cock grew so big that it exceeded the acceptable value and squeezed into the body, causing the passage to expand and tighten. Sangwoo tightly closed his eyes, tears welling up.

“It hurts, it hurts.”

Despite being hit on the shoulder, Jaeyoung didn’t care and only moved his hips to insert the hot rod.

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

“It hurts! Check if there’s any bleeding, please hurry.”

Sangwoo didn’t dare to look for himself, so he urged the other side to help him check. Jaeyoung took a breath and looked down before forcefully rubbing his forehead against Sangwoo’s neck.

“I don’t think this will work anymore… Let’s do something else.”

“Hey, don’t rush.”

Jaeyoung raised his eyes and squeezed the gel onto the connecting point, then pulled the middle part of his body out slightly, applied the slippery gel, and pushed it back in again, but this time the insertion was so intense that shook Sangwoo’s body. Sangwoo held onto Jaeyoung’s shoulders tightly. He must have gone crazy to allow the other side to do something like this. Something that couldn’t fit tightly was inside Sangwoo’s passage, and he clenched his teeth to avoid making strange sounds.

Jaeyoung used his free hand to support his upper body. Then he leaned down to look at Sangwoo and slowly moved his hips, biting his lower lip with an uncomfortable expression. was clear that he didn’t feel good at all, well, that’s how it is, two men together just can’t happen.

‘I want it to end quickly already.’

Right now, Sangwoo only wants one thing. If he can make the other party more aroused, sometimes the process might be faster. Sangwoo held both sides of Jaeyoung’s face and pulled him closer. When he kissed the corner of his mouth, Jaeyoung stopped moving and collapsed onto Sangwoo’s chest before taking deep, heavy breaths, his chest rising and falling rapidly.

“Why don’t you continue, hyung? Does it hurt?”

Jaeyoung doesn’t answer but instead raises his head slightly and looks at

Sangwoo with a drifting gaze. Sangwoo momentarily forgot how to breathe. Although the sex doesn’t feel as good as expected, the closeness of their bodies without any barriers makes his heart race.

Sangwoo adjusted his breathing and reached down to touch Jaeyoung’s damp thigh, sliding his fingers up until they reached the small of his back, causing Jaeyoung’s body to tremble. Sangwoo wraps his arm around the other’s neck and whispers against his ear before gently nibbling.

“Hyuuuung, who said he wanted to have sex with me? Hurry up and do it.”

Jaeyoung furrows his brow and suddenly his sweat drops onto Sangwoo’s body. While Sangwoo blinks, unaware of what’s happening, Jaeyoung withdraws his body abruptly.

“What the hell, why are you acting strange all of a sudden?”

“…”

Jaeyoung removes the condom, ties it up, and throws it away.

First time went down.

SMNTCERR, Chapter 56 <1000> #3.

   Sangwoo didn’t know how to stop this steeply rising graph. While his heart was pounding in his chest, they walked to the car. The distance that used to take ten minutes to run to the cinema took over thirty-five minutes to return.

   Jaeyoung spoke with an unaffected expression.

   “Finally here, huh?”

   Now, in Sangwoo’s mind, he was constantly thinking about something else, so he didn’t bother about those words having any issues.

   “Hyungnim.”

   “Oh, come on.”

   But it’s not easy at all, you know, it’s a complicated matter. Sangwoo startled himself and blurted out what had been lingering in his mouth, like uprooted weeds.

   “How does it feel to sleep with a man?”

   “Do you think it’s similar to being with a woman?”

   “…”

   “It’s just a matter of attraction between two people, nothing more.”

   “Hyungnim.”

   “Why again?”

   “Nothing.”

   Jaeyoung didn’t hesitate like before. He took out the car keys and unlocked the door quietly.

   The atmosphere inside the car on the way back home was filled with tension. Jaeyoung kept looking straight ahead and drove without saying a word or making any meaningless remarks. Sangwoo didn’t dare to look at the other side and therefore didn’t know what expression the other person had on their face.

   The car was running smoothly on an empty road, but deep inside, Sangwoo felt suffocated as if he couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t understand himself, whether he wanted to reach home quickly or wished for the walk to be slow so that he wouldn’t have to arrive home for sure.

   However, no matter what Sangwoo desired, the car continued to run at a constant speed until it finally reached Sangwoo’s apartment complex. Jaeyoung parked the car neatly before turning off the engine. Then, silence prevailed, stretching out in an enduring feeling.

   “Are you going to sleep here?”

   Jaeyoung made a silent joke, but the atmosphere wasn’t suitable for laughter.

   Even Sangwoo’s own face was tense.

   “I still can’t get out.”

   “Why not?”

   “There’s something I need to do.”

   Sangwoo knew well that if he didn’t appease him, he wouldn’t be calm. When he turned to look to the left, his eyes met with a pair of eyes that seemed to have been looking at him first. Jaeyoung leaned over and rested his elbow on the armrest.

   “Just do it.”

   While staring at the other side, Sangwoo assumed a nonchalant posture, but his heart raced like a drumbeat. Sangwoo did what he had never done before; he knelt on the console and swung his leg over to the driver’s seat before settling himself on Jaeyoung’s lap and using both hands to hold onto the other party’s shoulders. In an instant, Jaeyoung’s eyes widened and collided with his forehead with a pillow.

   “Why are you so surprised when you told me to do it?”

   Sangwoo raised his right hand and gently caressed the face of the person in front of him before closing his eyelids and moving closer.

   ‘Stay calm.’

   He pressed his lips softly against Jaeyoung’s lips, contrary to the tumultuous heartbeats and the sound of their breathing.

   ‘Take it slow.’

   He kissed the other party’s lips as he had practiced before, touching the soft skin inside their lips and lightly running his hand along their neck.

   ‘Gentle.’

   Jaeyoung remained still for a moment before responding. Sangwoo sucked on the other party’s lips and then let go. Then, he took Jaeyoung’s tongue into his mouth.

   ‘Breathe through your nose.’

   Sangwoo tilted his head to facilitate the kiss and stimulated the root of

   Jaeyoung’s tongue, causing the other party to moan in their throat and their tongues to entwine. The person below reached their hand into the T-shirt, and the direct contact with the warm skin heightened the graph of sensations.

   Jaeyoung traced his fingers along Sangwoo’s waist and back for a moment. Then he removed his cap and tossed it aside. He held onto Sangwoo’s hair and used his fingertips to explore the spots he had previously seen but only glanced, such as the ears, eyelids, and nose, which seemed strangely stiff. Sangwoo suddenly used his hand to mess up the hairstyle that Jaeyoung had neatly arranged, as it was not easy to have an opportunity to touch each other like this.

   The intensity of the kiss grew stronger and showed no signs of diminishing. Sangwoo felt both joy and excitement. He didn’t know how many times they changed the angle of their kisses before he finally pulled his face away from Jaeyoung’s face. Sangwoo thought that if it was about this, they could continue doing it all the time, so he felt a tinge of regret, but he also looked deep into

   Jaeyoung’s eyes. This was the first time he saw Jaeyoung with such a flushed face.

   “Hubaenim… Did you practice?”

   “Yes.”

   He discreetly glanced at the watch and realized that they had been kissing for more than nine minutes, which proved that the practice paid off. Jaeyoung gasped for breath and blushed.

   “How was it? With… someone?”

   “I won’t tell.”

   “Did you not practice having sex with anyone else, right?”

   “Yes.”

   “Then let’s go.”

   Jaeyoung looked at Sangwoo in his disheveled state. Sangwoo could feel a certain driving force in his eyes that resembled his own. From the beginning, Jang Jaeyoung never thought of suppressing his desires.

   “I… I’ll go first.”

   Sangwoo reached out to grab the car door, hoping to escape from the cramped situation he was sitting in on someone else’s lap. At that moment, Jaeyoung hugged Sangwoo tightly, followed by planting a kiss on his forehead.

   “Stay like this for a while. I’m too excited to calm down.”

   Jaeyoung held Sangwoo in a tight embrace, almost suffocating him.  Sangwoo closed his eyes and faced the intense desire that was trapped inside. It had always been like this, where he was often overwhelmed by overwhelming desires, and he had only managed to deal with it properly once.

   “Hyung.”

   Sangwoo didn’t intend to say anything, and it wasn’t a carefully chosen word.

   What drove him was an unspoken desire that never reached its destination.

   Jaeyoung didn’t reply, just took deep breaths. And exhaled. Sangwoo spoke again.

   “I want to do it. Having sex with you.”

   Silence filled the air. At this moment, Sangwoo was strangely calm. Although his heart was pounding, it had been like this since he saw Jaeyoung leaning against the car. He had a clear goal and knew that the most effective way to alleviate the tension was.

   “Will you consent?”

   The voice that came out was steady. And his mind was clear. The hand resting on Sangwoo’s shoulder exerted more force, waiting for a moment.

   Jaeyoung responded with a trembling voice.

   “Shall we go inside together?”

   “I need time to prepare first.”

   “How long?”

   “One hour.”

   Jaeyoung raised his left arm to look at his watch.

   “I will come up to see you at 3.32 am.”

   “Okay. See you then.”

   Sangwoo said that before getting out of the car.

   return 0;.

   Knock, knock!

   Jang Jaeyoung knocked on the door as the minute hand moved from 32 to 33.

   Just at that moment. Not even a second late or early, surprising even Sangwoo.

   Sangwoo stared at the door for a moment before taking a deep breath and walking closer. He stopped a short distance from the door and reached out to unlock it. As the lock mechanism disaged, the sound ceased, and as soon as the door opened, he came face to face with Jaeyoung standing in the hallway, his posture intimidating enough to catch Sangwoo off guard.

   The door hadn’t closed completely, and Jaeyoung’s shoes were nowhere to be seen. The birth control devices he held in his hands slipped and scattered on the floor like shooting stars, and his tall figure placed a wine bottle forcefully on a shelf, luckily without breaking it. After that, he lunged forward to find Sangwoo immediately.

   For one hour, Sangwoo tried to control his emotions and help himself suppress desire, instead of getting too excited, even though he had prepared himself mentally. But when Jaeyoung approached closely and wrapped his arms around his waist, it made him excited. Only now did he realize that Jaeyoung had a much larger body than his own.

   Jaeyoung pressed his lips against Sangwoo’s lower lip, then slowly moved across his upper lip, cheek, nose, forehead, and chin. Jaeyoung’s condition seems unstable, causing Sangwoo to worry, but the refreshing scent of toothpaste made him feel somewhat relaxed.

   The edge of Jaeyoung’s lips nibbled on Sangwoo’s lower lip, then slid down his neck, leaving a moist trail, before flicking his tongue, creating a faint sound that made Sangwoo involuntarily stretch his neck. His hand, without realizing it, slipped into his shirt and had been caressing his back since who knows when, before finally reaching for his waist and pressing their lower bodies together. As soon as he realized something hard was in the middle of the other’s body, Sangwoo’s body stiffened. had practiced various scenarios and studied countless theories, but when it came down to it, he became excited and scared to the point where he couldn’t move a finger.

   “You mean…”

   “…”

   “Have you… done this with a man before… for real?”

   Jaeyoung licked Sangwoo’s throat without answering, just as the other party withdrew from his lips for a moment. The shirt, which he didn’t know when it had piled up above his chest, was easily taken off. While Sangwoo was surprised, now Jaeyoung became the one to close his mouth. Even though they had been kissing for nine minutes, it seemed like it wasn’t enough. Although he should have been accustomed to the kisses of the other party by now, in this situation, he didn’t know where to put his hands.

   While they were kissing, Sangwoo felt that Jaeyoung was gradually pushing him back, step by step, one step, two steps, and suddenly there was a bed behind him. Even though he was lying down with closed eyes, Jaeyoung made it natural for Sangwoo to fall onto the bed, as if using judo techniques. His firm body leaned back, his head resting on the pillow. Then, a white ceiling appeared before his eyes.

   ‘Whatever happens, let it happen.’

   The intense excitement made his body tense up completely. Sangwoo wanted to end whatever intimacy there was. As he lay naked on top, under the bright white light bulb, he felt a sense of embarrassment arise, but he couldn’t withdraw.

   ‘Just endure for another ten minutes, and it will probably be over.’

   Sangwoo tightly closed his eyes and immersed himself in his thoughts. The hands that had touched his body disappeared. When he slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Jaeyoung, their eyes met, and those eyes looked intoxicated, as if they had been drinking together.

   “Why are you still? You don’t seem like you did before.”

   “…Because I’m excited.”

   “Are you ready?”

   “Don’t ask about tomorrow.”

   “There’s no need to be nervous.”

   “I’m ready. I’ve taken a bath and cleaned myself… Don’t worry. I’ve trimmed my nails. And I’ve douc-…”

   Jaeyoung covered Sangwoo’s mouth with his hand.

   “Shh. I didn’t ask for an explanation that big.”

   “Uh, um,.”

   “I understand… You don’t have to say anything.”

   The other party removed his hand and replaced it with his lips. Sangwoo couldn’t think of anything except fear. The sound of the soft kisses disrupted the silence, Jaeyoung’s face hidden behind closed eyelids looked troubled, the touch of the hand sliding along his neck and waist, the weight pressing down on his legs, everything made Sangwoo tense up completely.

   “What are you thinking?”

   Jaeyoung withdrew his lips for a moment and asked. Sangwoo swallowed, unable to produce a sound. He didn’t know what to answer. In his mind, there were now steps for sexual intercourse, mechanisms of pleasure, tips he had read on the internet, safety guidelines and disease prevention, everything mixed together.

   “Well, several things… .”

   “Forget the theories, this here, it’s practical now.”

   Jaeyoung finished speaking and kissed again, his fingers that had once grazed the earlobe slid down the neck, past the collarbone, down to the chest, the fingertips of the upper hand pressed lightly on an insignificant nodule on the man’s body before starting a gentle touch, rotating as if twisting. Then he gently squeezed again. On the other side, Sangwoo released from the edge of Jaeyoung’s lips and swallowed the other side of the chest, using his mouth to suck forcefully and using his teeth lightly.

   “Ah…”

   A strange moan escaped from the throat. Sangwoo quickly used his hand to cover his mouth, but Jaeyoung grabbed his arm and pulled it down again. The other side used the tip of his tongue to press against his chest for a long time until he had to lift his hips, his toes tensed. Sangwoo pressed the tip of Jaeyoung’s chin against his body, allowing the other side to bite the top of his earlobe as if given permission. Sangwoo clenched his teeth to suppress the moan.

   ‘Suffocating.’

   While consciousness blurred, he could feel the release. The higher the sexual arousal and the more intense the sensation, the more the suffocation expanded.  ‘Hurry… do something.’

   Kissing and touching each other’s bodies is something they had done before. The reason he called Jaeyoung today was to make this overwhelming feeling reach its climax.

   “That’s enough.”

SMNTCERR, Chapter 55 <1000> #2.

   “L13, L14.”

   “That’s good.”[1]

   Jaeyoung glanced at the movie ticket and walked into the dark theater, as it was the last show and late, there weren’t many people. Besides the elderly couple sitting at the end of the row with them, there was no one else.

   The advertisements continued to play on the screen as. Jaeyoung said. Once they settled into their seats, Sangwoo took out his phone, turned it off, and put it back in his shirt pocket. As he leaned back in his seat, Sangwoo felt more relaxed, blinking slowly to drive away the restlessness.

   Just as he started to feel thirsty, Jaeyoung handed him a bottle of soda as if reading his mind. It was unclear why there was only one straw when he intended to drink alone. Sangwoo, who was about to complain, had to close his mouth again.

   ‘Why think too much about such a simple matter? We’ve already kissed.’  Because he knew what the other party would say in response.

   Sangwoo quietly sipped the soda. When he handed the glass to Jaeyoung again, the other party immediately turned to look and quickly sucked the black drink through the transparent straw.. Sangwoo wondered why the other party had to stare at someone else while drinking.

   The flickering light inside the dimly lit venue caused one side of Jaeyoung’s face to change with the alternating brightness and darkness, the shadow of his nose bouncing on his cheek. Even though he had just taken a sip of soda,

   Sangwoo felt his mouth dry, and his eyes, which hadn’t blinked, began to sting.

   Who would be the winner in this long-lasting staring contest? It might be Jaeyoung because when the light from the screen went out, Sangwoo closed his eyes and leaned closer to the other person’s lips.

   Although he pulled away due to the sudden scream of “Help!” accompanied by the sudden brightening of the surroundings,. Sangwoo still felt embarrassed. At first, he thought the other party was asleep, then he claimed it happened because of being drunk. As for the other times, they happened with mutual consent and willingness. But this time, he did it without permission while the other party was still unaware, and while closing his eyes with embarrassment, he missed the first half of the movie.

   ‘It’s over.’

   Sangwoo doesn’t like that at all. When he turned around to look for the root cause of his deception, he found that the other party was just staring at the screen with a blank expression, fingers resting on the armrest naturally like a spider. Sangwoo forced his body to turn back and look ahead.

   Fortunately, the story’s content is simple enough to understand without any problems, even if you missed the beginning. The story involves extraterrestrial humans who can fly at the speed of light. They have skin that is resistant to all physical damage and harness solar energy as a power source. In brief, the story revolves around a superhuman from another planet who must thwart the plans of enemies who intend to use his weaknesses against him.

   Sangwoo feels conflicted for two reasons. First, there are many aspects of the movie that he doesn’t understand. Second, Jaeyoung keeps moving his hand, appearing calm amidst the darkness, with a hand that reflects white light, never staying still. When. Sangwoo accidentally taps on the armrest, the other side extends his fingers as if stretching a string, sometimes flipping his hand up to reveal it. Sangwoo intentionally avoids looking at Jaeyoung’s face throughout the two and a half hours, so he doesn’t know if the muscles on his face move as well, but he only sees his hand, which makes him feel disconnected from his own body and self-awareness.

   After the movie ends, they quietly walk out of the theater. Then they take the elevator down to the ground floor. When they step outside, their arms touch the warm air, the night sky is dark and serene, and the walkway is gray. Time passes unnoticed until it’s past one o’clock, and the bustling streets near Jongno-dong are empty.

   “How was the movie?”

   After nine minutes of silence, Jaeyoung speaks up, his right hand casually reaching into his pocket.

   “Should we consider superhumans as animals or plants?”

   “What are you talking about?”

   “Well, he said they use air and sunlight as an energy source. Although their physical structure is complex like humans, when they live by photosynthesis, they should be classified more as plants than animals, shouldn’t they?”

   “Um… I don’t know.”

   “And in the movie, there’s a scene where he says he wants to shave his mustache. How does he shave? Even if it’s exposed to the explosion of a supernova, it wouldn’t burn, right? Ordinary razors made of steel probably wouldn’t work either.”

   “Hmm…”

   “It’s kind of pitiful that he lost to kryptonite.”

   That was the only scene that Sangwoo watched and felt immersed in the movie. It was a scene where the superhuman, who was invincible, was defeated by a piece of jewelry from his home planet, simply by bringing the green gem close to his skin, which became as vulnerable as a regular human under the influence of uranium radiation. Sangwoo felt a warmth inside him, as if it were his own story.

   “It’s the Death Ex-Mach of the superhero series.”

   “What is that?”

   “Simply put, it’s a cheating formula. If you’re too good, it’s not fun, so there has to be some crypton to make Superman vulnerable. Even though in the end he can easily win and seem useless.”

   “Oh…”

   “Most superhero movies are like this. People focus more on the action scenes than the storytelling that is already familiar. No one cares about the synthesis of light and beard shaving, what matters is that Superman is super handsome, super strong, on the side of humanity, and wears different tight suits.”

   Jaeyoung waved his left hand, drawing a complex circular pattern in the air, and when he finished speaking, he grabbed the front of his shirt that he was wearing and fanned himself to cool off. Sangwoo looked at the side profile of the other person’s face, which seemed to have gained some special knowledge today.

   “I didn’t know before that you are also smart like me.”

   “What do you see me as?”

   Human cancer, jigsaw puzzle, mental illness, sadness, garbage, but now many things have changed, and he himself is uncertain. Sangwoo shifted his gaze from Jaeyoung and looked straight ahead, seeing both sides of the road lined with tall trees.

   “Where are we?”

   “Jeongryun Park.”

   “Why did we come this way?”

   “Shortcut.”

   Sangwoo frowned. If this is a shortcut, why didn’t we take this way earlier? 

   Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been late. While he was thinking about that, Jaeyoung reached out and flicked the brim of his hat. When he turned to look, his eyes met the brown eyes of the person in front of him, causing his vision to blur.

   “So, is it fun not?”

   “Is it fun?”

   “Yes, after watching a movie, you must have some feelings, right?”

   “Um… I don’t know. It’s a strange movie.”

   Sangwoo wanted to know the other person’s opinion, he asked back, “And what about you, hyungnim?” Hearing that, Jaeyoung, who had been walking and looking straight ahead, turned to meet Sangwoo’s gaze and replied.

   “I think it’s fun.”

   “Which scene?”

   “I don’t know.”

   “How can you not know?”

   “Because I’ve been staring at your face and haven’t watched the movie.”

   Sangwoo was speechless and stopped in his tracks without knowing the reason. Jaeyoung walked ahead. Meanwhile, Sangwoo remained motionless, staring at the back of the person in front of him.

   Duk-duk-duk.

   His heart raced, feeling both uneasy and exhilarated at the same time. While Sangwoo was trying to calm his mind, the distance between them gradually widened, revealing a contradiction in the words of the other party. Sangwoo shifted his feet again and quickened his pace until they were walking side by side.

   “It doesn’t make sense. You said you didn’t watch the movie, but you said it was fun. This means one of them is a lie.”

   “That’s true for both of us.”

   “How can you feel entertained if you didn’t watch the movie?”

   “Try using your imagination, Samchun.”

   As soon as he heard the somewhat vague answer, he immediately understood. Sangwoo’s futile attack had backfired, and he bowed his head and continued walking.

   After leaving the park, they came across a long straight wall that was a famous landmark in Seoul. Sangwoo had been here before with his ex-girlfriend when they were still together, and he remembered how crowded it was, making him annoyed. But today was quiet and deserted, not even a single soul in sight, and that might be the reason why he felt excited and overwhelmed.

   They continued walking without saying a word, only looking straight ahead. However, in the corner of his eyes, he could see Jaeyoung’s left hand, even though his right hand adjusted his coat, touched his neck, or slipped into his pocket. The left hand remained abandoned by his side, and it only twitched and jerked since they left the cinema one minute ago. Two minutes passed. Three minutes passed. Until Sangwoo felt uneasy. At that moment, he looked down at his watch and realized it was almost two o’clock.

   ‘Who said it was a shortcut?’

   Although it had been two hours since he last slept, his mind remained clear. Moreover, he felt more awake than usual. Sangwoo prepared himself for any teasing from the other party, silently observing everything from their breathing patterns, hand movements, to the wrinkles on Jaeyoung’s pants.

   “Jaeyoung Hyung.”

   “What?”

   It was somewhat embarrassing to ask if they could hold hands. Sangwoo didn’t know what to say.

   “Is it still far until we reach the parking lot?”

   “We’re here.”

   It felt like waves of turmoil were surging in his chest, and the trapped beast was urging him to quickly hold hands. Otherwise, who knows what might happen. Sangwoo tightly closed his eyes, extended his hand forward without any choice.

   The tips of the fingers naturally passed through Jaeyoung’s swinging hands. Without realizing it, both of them coordinated without knowing. Sangwoo secretly took a light breath, his hand holding on to the swinging hand, giving him a strange feeling as if an electric current was flowing throughout his body.

   “Hyungnim.”

   “What?”

   “Nothing.”

   But it didn’t end there. Even though they were holding hands with the other party, the beast within Sangwoo stirred and demanded something more. Even though he tried to say no, to help maintain appearances, it didn’t listen.

   “Hyung.”

   “What?”

   “Just calling casually. There’s nothing.”

   He endured the tormenting urge until they finally reached the parking lot, his hands soaked in sweat. If it could be wrung out like a wet cloth, it would probably fill a bucket. He had no idea how he had managed to live a life like a normal person for twenty-five years with such intense desires. Sangwoo just couldn’t understand.

   “You’re funny. Normally, you can say whatever you want, right? So, what’s up today?”

   At that moment, he looked up and saw Jaeyoung’s face, trying to avoid eye contact as he walked. Sangwoo lost his composure, the overwhelming desire tightly packed in his chest. Sangwoo felt that the hand they were holding had a detrimental effect on him, so he let go and blurted out his response.

   “Today, I feel strange. Isn’t it true that at the movie theater you didn’t put anything like that in the cola, right?”

   “I used to think you were a person without imagination. I guess I have to rethink that.”

SMNTCERR, Chapter 54 <1000> #1.

– [Ru Jihye, French protagonist: Senior, I have urgent matters tomorrow, so I have to cancel our appointment in advance. Sorry about that._22:37.]

[Okay_23:49.]

After replying to the message, Sangwoo put down his mobile phone. Canceling the Friday evening appointment allowed him to arrive at the office on time. And another thing…

“I have to deal with this guy.”

He glanced at the two movie tickets on the table, worth 10,000 won (8 USD) each, which Jaeyoung had slipped through the door crack and given to him two months ago, about to expire this Sunday. Initially, he was going to give them to Jihye.

Even though Sangwoo lost his game console because he got drunk, it didn’t seem right to just repay a debt of 130,000 won (97 USD) with only one cup of tea, so he thought about giving the movie tickets to Jihye. But since the appointment was canceled, he missed the chance.

‘If that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to sell them.’

However, upon closer consideration, the only two people who would buy tickets on a Friday like this were Choi Yoona and Jang Jaeyoung. But instead of taking the ticket he got from Jaeyoung “while arguing with him”, he returned it to the owner and sold it to Yoona, which seemed like a better option.

At that moment, Jaeyoung’s words popped up in his mind, using the word ‘movie’ as a keyword to search for a database in Sangwoo’s head.

‘Do you like movies?’

‘Huh? Don’t you want to invite me to watch it together? Just buy a ticket for yourself.’

‘Let’s go watch a movie.’

‘Hey, kid. Are you so scared that you have to skip school just because I invited you to watch a movie?’

‘Are you from the Stone Age? I often go to the movies with male friends.’

Those words became memories on the day Jaeyoung carried a notebook without even a pen to an internet cafe, the day he had feelings for the other party for the first time, and the day that party stood cursing in front of the door before leaving.

“I guess he likes watching movies.”

Let’s think about it… Jaeyoung often talks about movies or sings songs from movie soundtracks. At that time, he figured out a way to deal with the movie tickets without having to resell them, after being infatuated for a while.

Sangwoo decided to use plan two.

When it was exactly midnight, Sangwoo checked his email and opened the file that-Jaeyoung sent. He wrote a feedback of two or three points about the disliked parts and sent an email back before shutting down the computer, turning off the lights, slipping under the blanket, and falling asleep.  return 0;

“Where did that person sitting there go?”

They greeted each other through eye contact. Then Jaeyoung turned his chair in a circle when he heard that question, wearing a T-shirt with overlapping hexagonal patterns that looked interesting. As his gaze moved up, he met a face that seemed indifferent to something.

“You didn’t think of greeting me first.”

“Looks like you are busy.”

If you see someone else busy, it’s not appropriate to ask meaningless questions, right?”

“Sorry. Please continue working, senior.”

Sangwoo was slightly surprised by the sudden interruption, but the reason the other party spoke was reasonable, so he reluctantly retreated. After organizing the notebook and mouse, Jaeyoung finally asked.

“Why are you looking for Choi Yoona?”

“I have something to talk about, but if she’s not here, it’s okay.”

“And what is the matter?”

“I have something to sell.”

“Sell it to me then.”

Sangwoo frowned and glanced at the other party. At times like this, Jaeyoung would bite and not let go until he got the desired answer. Sangwoo decided to be straightforward. It would probably be better than wasting time arguing in circles.

“The movie tickets that you left under the door slot earlier. They will expire this week.”

Jaeyoung’s smile twisted, as he didn’t want to tell the other party in this way.

It would only make both of them feel uneasy. So, Sangwoo spoke before Jaeyoung could interrupt and say anything that couldn’t be controlled by emotions.

“Don’t you want to buy them?”

“Do you think what you said sounds convincing?”

“Well… how about we go to watch a movie together?”

Jaeyoung furrowed his brow, looking as if he didn’t understand what

Sangwoo was saying. Sangwoo continued, “If you don’t want to go, it’s okay.”

Then he turned his body back to find his notebook. Soon after, he heard the loud sound of the chair wheels, “Crrrkk.” as Jaeyoung pushed himself away from the table.

“Just the two of us?”

Sangwoo nodded, feeling the gaze that stared at his side profile, causing a warm sensation on his cheeks. Jaeyoung kept staring like that for a while before speaking up.

“Is it not weird for two men to go watch a movie together?”

Sangwoo glanced at the computer screen. At that moment, he truly thought so. He hadn’t changed his mind now, but there was no excuse to say such things anymore.

“We’ve done more than that.”

“What will happen after we do it once? Will it continue?”

“What are you comparing it to… I already said that. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. I’ll just sell it in the “Secondhand Kingdom.”

Jaeyoung remained silent while Sangwoo logged into the secondhand trading website and was typing a post. The other party spoke up again.

“I’ve reserved the tickets for the RYUNDONG concert. Tomorrow, let’s pick them up at the internet cafe at 4 PM.”

Sangwoo paused his hand that was entering the price. The other party only mentioned the time and place, but his heart started pounding as if he heard something profound.

‘It’s not something special.’

He just handed the movie ticket to Jang Jaeyoung according to plan two because Choi Yoona was not in the office, that’s all. Previously, the other party drew a picture on his arm, fed him a dumpling with one word, and all of that should be worth ten thousand won for the ticket.

The second-hand trading window was closed, appearing as the main page of the multiplex cinema website in the new interface.. Sangwoo kept clicking the mouse here, it was the first time he had done something like this since he had a girlfriend back in November four years ago.

“Choose, please. 1 <Superman Returns> 2, <The Spy Sister> 3, <Pew Pew and Kew Kew> 4, <Blazing Heat>.” “4 <Blazing Heat>.”

“Do you know why I chose this?”

Sangwoo looked at the still red movie poster before turning to Jaeyoung with satisfaction. The other person went back to his place without knowing when and shrugged without looking or pointing.

“I don’t know either, but it seems to be erotic film with an interesting title.”

“Let’s go with <Superman Returns> It’s ranked number one, after all.”

“Very well, whatever you say. I will go and find out.”

Select the time, select the number of seats, select the seat location, pay.

Sangwoo handled everything quickly before reporting to the other person.

Superman Returns.” Jeongryudong Cinema, 4:35 showtime, Theater 5, seats

L13, L14, reservation completed.”

“Thank you for letting me know, Siri.”

“…”

Therefore, besides kissing, Sangwoo also went to watch a movie with the man. return 0;.

After quitting his part-time job on Saturday, Sangwoo informed the store owner that wanted to work until only May to develop games and prepare for final exams. The other party felt very sorry and reluctantly suggested that he should continue working until ten minutes later than usual, which would make him leave work earlier next time. Sangwoo then stepped up the stairs and left the store.

As soon as he came out, encountered Jaeyoung’s car parked on the road, a hatchback designed to emphasize straight lines, a white box-like appearance that looked like a refrigerator, with a red roof and windows. The owner of the car was standing leaning against the car, talking on the phone.

Jaeyoung was wearing a white shirt and light gray pants that Sangwoo had just seen for the first time. He wasn’t wearing glasses or earrings, and his shirt sleeves were folded up, revealing a watch and a leather bracelet on his wrist. His hairstyle seemed to have a slight difference from the usual style, although it couldn’t be said exactly how it had changed. Sangwoo stopped for a moment before starting to walk again.

‘How do I look?’

It was the first time since he was born that he worried about his appearance. Sangwoo lowered his head and looked at his black sneakers, old jeans pulled up to his navy blue polka dot shirt, and his slow footsteps before picking up the pace again.

‘Just meeting Jang Jaeyoung, why do you care about these things?’

Sangwoo walked to the front of the car without much emotion. Jaeyoung raised his head and smiled at Sangwoo.

“What?”

“Sorry for being late.”

“It’s the first date, I’m excited.”

“Stop saying strange things. Let’s go together then.”

Jaeyoung ignored Sangwoo’s words, opened the driver’s door, and gestured for him to get in the car. Sangwoo hesitated for a moment, counting from ‘that day,’ this was the first time he sat in the other party’s car.

“Glasses?”

“I didn’t wear them.”

“Then let me drive.”

“No need.”

“I have a Class 1 driver’s license, see here.”

“I’ll drive myself.”

The other party walked quickly to the driver’s side and opened the door. Sangwoo looked at the other party and then checked the time on his digital wristwatch, which showed 22:12. The movie started at minute 35, it would take about ten minutes to get to the RYUNDONG theater, and he was still hesitant about being late. Sangwoo got up and sat next to the driver, closing the door without any other choice.

Once the seat belt was fastened… Jaeyoung reached out and grabbed Sangwoo’s neck pillow, then turned to look at the backseat while turning the steering wheel. The other party only reversed the car, but Sangwoo’s gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jaeyoung’s exposed collar bone that escaped from the first two unbuttoned buttons, with a long scar running from the clavicle to the neck. Sangwoo involuntarily touched the side of the other party’s face with a bewildered expression. Then he caught another glimpse of Jaeyoung when he turned to change gears.

“Just a small scar like this, I didn’t know.”

Jaeyoung turned back and looked ahead again, pondering the words he heard but couldn’t understand. Sangwoo still felt a flutter in his heart. “I’m worried that I won’t drive well because I’m not wearing my glasses.”

Jaeyoung spoke as if he could read minds. Sangwoo looked surprised.

“How much is your eye prescription?”

“Short 0.7, slightly tilted.”

“With this, you can easily read the signs.”

“Did you get insurance?”

“Even if an accident happens, I won’t make you pay for repairs.”

“Why aren’t you wearing glasses?”

Jaeyoung remained silent and didn’t answer while waiting, until the traffic light turned red, then he turned to look at the conversation between them.

“We must learn to endure small difficulties in order to achieve something greater.”

“How are they related?”

Jaeyoung simply replied that he didn’t need to know before turning to drive.

Although still uneasy, Sangwoo didn’t disturb the other party anymore.

Instead of parking in the mall parking lot, Jaeyoung chose to park in a paid parking lot outside. Sangwoo questioned the other party’s actions, but the person refused to answer directly. With eleven minutes left before the movie started, both of them walked briskly towards the cinema. When they arrived, Jaeyoung was still preoccupied with buying popcorn, making Sangwoo annoyed.

Although he didn’t expect watching a movie with this man to go smoothly, he didn’t expect it to be this chaotic. Sangwoo could now guess how Jang Jaeyoung usually lived, why he couldn’t meet deadlines for his work, and why he was always late for meetings.

“Superman Returns, please.”
