“Hey, heey……”
Seeing Jion lying spread-eagle on his bed, Seonwoo Jin was greatly flustered. However, he couldn’t stop Jion from wriggling like a caterpillar and burrowing into the blanket.
“Mmm……”
Jion, who closed his eyes while making extremely cute sounds, was excessive stimulation for Seonwoo Jin, who had been suffering from Seong Jion deficiency due to the long cold war. Jion paid no attention to the bed owner’s state and headed straight to dreamland with his face buried in the pillow full of his favorite scent.
“Ha……”
This is driving me crazy. Seonwoo Jin stood by the bed looking down at the sleeping Jion. Should I hug him with the blanket and move him to his own bed? Just leave him? Then where do I sleep? Together…… sleep?
“Damn……”
Imagining the two of them embracing and sleeping together on this narrow bed, Seonwoo Jin’s face immediately turned red and he got a reaction down below. Even though no one was watching, the flustered Seonwoo Jin hurriedly covered his face with one hand and the front of his pants with the other.
It was something he’d done fine before, but after becoming sexually aware of it once and their relationship becoming ambiguous, it suddenly felt difficult and strange. Without realizing it had been strange behavior from the start, Seonwoo Jin’s brain briefly froze at the highly stimulating act of sleeping in one bed with Jion.
“Hey, what are you doing! You guys aren’t doing weird stuff, right? Come out quickly!”
If not for Jinyeong’s voice shouting loudly from outside, various versions of weird stuff would have been simulated in Seonwoo Jin’s head, but fortunately, the timely interruption prevented any unseemly incidents.
His own feet growing numb, Seonwoo Jin covered Jion’s ears with his hands and yelled toward the door.
“Ah, what weird stuff would we do!”
“You said you’d put him to sleep and come out! What are you doing after putting him to sleep! Should I open the door? Huh? Should I open it?”
“Ah, seriously, is Kim Jinyeong crazy!”
If he didn’t come out quickly, Jinyeong would really barge in and say weird things. Seonwoo Jin hurriedly checked his face condition in the mirror before trying to leave the room. Before that, he looked down one last time at Jion sleeping like an angel in his bed…….
“Phew……”
He doesn’t even know how I feel and only says mean things, doesn’t apologize, and then gets sulky at me for not celebrating Park Homin’s failure together, and then sleeps prettily in someone else’s bed…… He’s really a mean kid who does whatever he wants, but he’s also really kind and treats me well and is cute…….
Seonwoo Jin’s head became complicated as he looked down at the sleeping Jion.
“……”
After pacing by the bedside for a while looking down at Jion, Seonwoo Jin made a big decision and stopped in front of Jion. And after rubbing his lips on the back of his hand to check if his lips were rough with severe dead skin, he lowered his body and approached Jion’s cheek. It was a distance where Seonwoo Jin’s favorite—Jion’s eyelashes and his tiny face with his nose tip extending gorgeously—filled his entire vision.
……A cheek kiss is something members can do even when sober, so it should be okay, right?
Seonwoo Jin made up his mind and closed his eyes. And as he carefully approached, soon soft, moist flesh touched the tip of Seonwoo Jin’s lips. It was Jion’s cheek. When he lightly applied weight to stamp his lips, he felt the soft cheek flesh being pushed.
Ah, I wish this were his lips.
Actually, it didn’t have the sweet scent he had imagined. The first thing he felt was the smell of alcohol from just drinking. Along with the bitter and cool smell of beer, there was a subtle sweet smell mixed with the chemical substances of soju. While thinking it was a scent that didn’t suit Jion, when he took a deep breath, what he felt next was the smell of his own perfume mixed with Jion’s warm body temperature.
This is dangerous.
Seonwoo Jin hurriedly raised his head. If he kept his lips attached just a little longer with this scent, he felt like he’d cause an accident.
He had resolved not to cross the line, but originally, once you advance in skinship, you can’t go back. It was a stolen kiss, but since he’d kissed his cheek, next time he’d have to advance beyond the lips. Otherwise, he couldn’t be satisfied anymore.
“……”
Realizing he had made the wrong start, Seonwoo Jin covered his lips with his palm and rushed out of the room. Jinyeong, whose sensitivity had become even sharper from drinking, immediately caught Seonwoo Jin’s awkward movements and interrogated him.
“What. Why are you running out? What did you do inside?”
“What would I do? You told me to come out quickly.”
“Suspicious.”
“Don’t say that, he came out after taking care of Jion.”
Ryu Geon stopped Jinyeong, who was narrowing his eyes. Ryu Geon was both the most unpolluted person among them and the most prejudiced and conservative person, so he didn’t seriously consider Jinyeong’s joke-like suspicion of the two’s relationship.
“Sit down quickly, Woojin. You probably couldn’t drink properly while taking care of Jion.”
As soon as Seonwoo Jin sat down, Ryu Geon filled his glass to the brim. It was a more merciful ratio than Jinyeong’s 5:5 somaek, but filling the glass to the brim was more destructive than Jinyeong. However, for Seonwoo Jin who had just tasted Jion’s cheek, this much alcohol was like honey water. Moreover…….
Ah, this is where Jion put his mouth earlier…….
Seonwoo Jin glared fiercely at the glass, looking for where Jion had put his lips. And as soon as he found where lip marks subtly remained, he stealthily wrapped his palm around the glass and turned it in a direction close to himself.
“Let’s toast, toast!”
“Jion is sleeping, speak quietly.”
“Ah, when did these guys make up? They’re acting annoyingly again.”
Jinyeong, full of alcohol, was annoyed at Seonwoo Jin but drastically lowered his voice and whispered.
“Come on, toaast!”
“Toast!”
After whispering in small voices, they also gently clinked their glasses to make a soft sound. Seonwoo Jin, who emptied his glass in one go without taking it away, lightly bit the rim of the cup with his lips, released it, and giggled.
It was an indirect kiss.
* * *
The next morning, Jion opened his eyes with some nausea, headache, discomfort, and disgust.
“Uuuuugh……”
It was a hangover that made it hard to sit up right away. Even after waking from sleep, Jion fought with his hangover while tossing and turning for a while, then belatedly felt that the scenery before his eyes was subtly strange.
“Mm……?”
No, a familiar ceiling like when I regressed…… But a subtly different view…….
“Ah.”
Jion groggily sat up on the bed. Something felt like the bathroom was closer and the view of the door was also close, and it wasn’t his bed. Coming to his senses, Jion was startled, wondering if they had drunk alcohol last night and slept embracing again, and groped the side. But fortunately, the side was empty. The bed next to him, that is, his original bed, was also empty.
“Ahh……”
It was a sigh with an ambiguous mix of relief and regret. The fact that I’m sleeping in this bed and Seonwoo Jin didn’t wake me or move me means, did we kind of make up? Or not? I don’t know if he didn’t touch me and let me sleep because we didn’t make up, or left me alone because we made up. Jion pondered for a moment then first checked the time. 11:40 AM.
“……The members……”
I think everyone said yesterday they were going to their family homes for vacation, but what did Seonwoo Jin say he was doing? I don’t think he said he was going or not going, but looking at how quiet it was outside, it seemed like no one was in the house. Ah, should I go too? It’s Seoul though. Jion pondered for a moment then roughly mussed his hair and got up.
“Let me eat first……”
Opening the door in such an unguarded state, Jion made eye contact with Seonwoo Jin sitting on the living room sofa and immediately closed the door.
Crazy. Ah, what did I look like just now? He didn’t leave.
Jion hurriedly entered the bathroom, vigorously washed his face, and combed his hair. And after slightly pulling his wrinkled pajamas to fix his appearance, he opened the door again while acting like a pure, beautiful boy who just woke up. Fortunately, Seonwoo Jin played along with Jion’s fox-like behavior.
“You’re awake?”
At Seonwoo Jin asking as if the appearance of opening the door and coming out earlier was an illusion, Jion nodded reassuringly. However, he paused for a moment when he naturally tried to sit right next to Seonwoo Jin on the sofa, rest his chin on his shoulder, and act cute.
We made up, right? Or not?
He still couldn’t be certain of the situation. Jion deliberately stretched and twisted his body while observing Seonwoo Jin, pretending he wasn’t fully awake. It was to see his reaction. If they had made up, he would get up and hug him or pull him to sit next to him, and if they hadn’t made up…….
“……Want to eat?”
He would awkwardly avoid eye contact and move seats. And as Jion expected, Seonwoo Jin couldn’t make proper eye contact with Jion and moved to the dining table, then began setting the table without even hearing an answer. Seeing that awkward reaction, Jion realized that the two of them had vaguely sort of made up or not made up last night.
If we had made up, Seonwoo Jin wouldn’t have waited until I woke up but would have come to wake me.
It was Seonwoo Jin who couldn’t eat alone no matter how hungry he was. But since they still hadn’t properly made up, he couldn’t wake him to eat, so even though he woke up early, he didn’t turn on the TV and sat on the sofa watching carefully, waiting until he woke up.
Jion felt sorry for and found the starving Seonwoo Jin all morning pitiful and cute, and wanted to pat his head affectionately.
