Different Dreams in the Same Bed (27)
Jaehyuk avoided answering the phone in front of him again. Should he have asked who it was this time?
Jeongbae’s expression became complicated. For the past few days, he had tried his utmost to seduce Jaehyuk with his body. It was embarrassing and he lacked confidence, but he had to do whatever he could.
It was because after the rough sex where they said they’d do it until his hole was completely unusable, Jaehyuk had changed back to being affectionate like before.
‘As expected, there’s no other way but to hold onto him with my body.’
Cornered, Jeongbae felt like he wanted to grab even a rotten rope. That’s how much he loved Yoon Jaehyuk. If sex made it possible, he was actually grateful. But….
The fact that there was a call he couldn’t answer in front of him alone was hurtful. This was also impossible.
‘It’s natural enough. It could be an awkward call to take in front of me.’
He comforted himself, but deep in his heart, the two letters “affair” clearly floated up.
‘Who could it be… the call Jaehyuk avoids taking in front of me?’
He was crazily curious. Jeongbae thought for a moment. The atmosphere had been okay lately. If it was now, wouldn’t he answer without any problem?
Jeongbae entered the student cafeteria and sat hesitantly at an empty table. Looking at the menu he had become quite familiar with, he planned to order together when Jaehyuk came.
“That’s him. Yoon Jaehyuk’s lover.”
“No way.”
“He’s not even a student at our school but he’s always hanging around.”
“What, he’s more ordinary than I thought.”
Jeongbae’s head naturally drooped and his cheeks reddened. The campus he had become familiar with by coming quite often. He thought no one would recognize him, but Jaehyuk was more famous than expected. He was newly embarrassed about excitedly wandering around the library and cafeteria and everywhere like a student of this school.
Even if they didn’t say it, did everyone recognize him? If so, how ridiculous must it have been? Jeongbae was embarrassed that he seemed to have caused trouble for Jaehyuk rather than looking ridiculous himself.
“I’ll order first.”
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the appearance of the tall handsome man. Jaehyuk entered the cafeteria with his characteristically confident stride. Jeongbae felt like he wanted to become dust and disappear.
“It’s okay. I’m not hungry yet.”
“What do you want to eat? Aren’t you tired of the student cafeteria every day? Shall we eat something different today?”
“Should… we?”
At Jeongbae’s answer, Jaehyuk brightened up.
“What’s the occasion? You said you didn’t like other places. Then let’s go out quickly.”
Large hands grabbed and pulled him. The student cafeteria was cheap and tasted good, so Jeongbae always insisted on eating there. But today… he didn’t want to be there anymore because it felt like embarrassing Jaehyuk.
‘As expected, I shouldn’t follow him from tomorrow.’
Thinking thoughts that would make Jaehyuk gasp if he knew, Jeongbae followed him out. His left hand was in a cast, and his right hand was firmly held by Jaehyuk. On the way to the car, he was strangely conscious of his surroundings. Jaehyuk was even humming, seemingly in a good mood. He had seemed to be in a bad mood until just before, but it seemed to have cleared up after he made the call. Jeongbae’s mood sank even more for no reason.
“What do you want to eat? Just say it. Do you like pasta?”
“No. I hate it because it’s just expensive and greasy.”
“Then what shall we eat?”
Jeongbae begged to go to ‘Macheon Pork Rice Soup’ where he had worked for a long time. Jaehyuk made a pondering expression, but soon started the engine and moved the steering wheel smoothly. Jeongbae knew well that it was Jaehyuk’s favorite restaurant.
“You’re really unique too.”
Jeongbae unknowingly blurted out the words and flinched. But Jaehyuk smiled brightly and answered affectionately.
“How so?”
Jeongbae hesitated and continued.
“You like pork rice soup.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“You… I thought you would like more expensive and luxurious food.”
“I think pork rice soup is the most delicious though?”
Jeongbae’s face heated up all at once. Somehow with that answer… his insignificant self seemed to overlap exactly with pork rice soup. The hurt and anxious feelings from earlier melted away in an instant. Was that why? Jeongbae unknowingly ended up asking what he had been curious about.
“Um, who was that call earlier?”
But Jeongbae soon regretted it. Jaehyuk’s expression instantly turned cold. Since he couldn’t take back his words, Jeongbae was flustered.
“Um… it’s, it’s okay. You don’t have to answer. I mean… I….”
He rambled incoherently and even stuttered. Jeongbae wanted to punch his own head. To make a slip of the tongue unable to hold back. Jaehyuk’s dark eyes calmly gazed at Jeongbae for a moment. At his deeply thoughtful expression, Jeongbae flinched. His lips that had moved several times quietly spoke.
“It’s my hyung.”
“Hyung?”
He had heard from Isol that Jaehyuk had a hyung. But he couldn’t help but be surprised anew. He unknowingly asked back as if hearing it for the first time. Jaehyuk’s brow furrowed slightly and he continued somewhat annoyedly.
“Yeah, I have a hyung.”
And that was the end. At the reaction that said not to ask more, Jeongbae quietly shut his mouth.
‘So it’s not someone else. But….’
Jeongbae slowly raised his hand and stroked his left chest. His heart felt like it was throbbing. If it’s a hyung, the closest family. But avoiding a call in front of him meant…
‘I’m embarrassing.’
It was a very natural conclusion, but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt. Just like that, there were no words from either Jaehyuk or Jeongbae until the car stopped.
“Let’s get out.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while so it’ll be delicious.”
After speaking nonchalantly, affectionate hands unfastened his belt. Jeongbae smiled brightly with the corners of his mouth raised. It was okay. This much.
When they opened the restaurant door and entered, the boss ran out and greeted Jeongbae and Jaehyuk.
“Oh my, Jeongbae came. How’s your arm?”
“Auntie, have you been well? Thanks to you, it’s healing. How did you manage without me?”
“The hardship was beyond words. Sit down quickly. You came at a good time when it’s not busy.”
“Haha, two specials please.”
As soon as Jeongbae entered the shop, he seemed to gain energy for once. The familiar workplace. A space where his efforts were embedded. Jaehyuk’s large hands placed utensils in front of him and naturally handed him water after pouring it. Jeongbae was shy but happy. Wherever they went, Jaehyuk always took care of him first.
“You two look so good together. You’ve been well, right?”
The boss came over making friendly conversation as she brought out hot earthenware pots right away. Jaehyuk deliberately replied kindly.
“We go to study at my school together. He really has to go to university next year.”
“Oh, that’s great.”
The boss poked Jeongbae’s side.
“Don’t let go, hold on tight.”
“Hey, it’s not like that….”
Jeongbae, who was about to deny it, was silenced by Jaehyuk’s foot he felt under the table.
“It is like that. Why do you keep lying?”
“I’m worried rumors will spread for no reason….”
“Oh my, look at me. You two eat intimately. I’ll go in to organize the kitchen.”
The two quietly picked up their spoons and scooped up rice soup. Jeongbae silently watched Jaehyuk whose spoonfuls became faster as he ate hurriedly. Was this the feeling of being full just from watching? Seeing Jeongbae staring at him intently without eating, Jaehyuk also stopped using his spoon.
“Hm? You’re hungry, why aren’t you eating quickly?”
“Why what?”
“Because you keep staring.”
“You said everyone stares because you’re handsome.”
“……”
“That’s why I looked too.”
It was just a joke he made awkwardly. But in an instant, Jaehyuk turned his head sharply. His ears were ripe red. It was the arrogant Yoon Jaehyuk who always went around saying with his own mouth that he was handsome. At the first sight of him being shy, Jeongbae was inwardly quite surprised, but pretended not to know and pushed the kimchi plate in front of Jaehyuk.
“It’s well-fermented and delicious. Eat a lot.”
“Okay.”
And then a quiet meal continued. His insides filled up satisfyingly with the warm rice soup. It was an ordinary daily life, but every moment was special to Jeongbae.
When they opened the front door and entered, the sensor light turned on. Jaehyuk followed right next to him. The two took turns showering, ran the laundry, folded what was spread out, and rummaged through the refrigerator to worry about tonight’s dinner menu. When they sat down with books spread on the small dining table, a sigh of relief came out. All these moments were becoming increasingly familiar.
‘Being together is this good.’
Jeongbae, who had always been alone, felt satisfaction and loss simultaneously. After solving problems with a pencil scratching for a long time, when he briefly raised his head, Yoon Jaehyuk was sitting right next to him with his long legs stretched out, reading a thick book. Jeongbae stealthily moved his right leg toward Jaehyuk. He slightly overlapped his foot on the long calf and pressed firmly several times. It should be annoying but… Jaehyuk left Jeongbae alone.
How many times did he play like that?
Screech.
“Hm?”
The table he was studying at was pushed forward with a slide. When he turned his head, Jaehyuk was looking down at him with deeply sunken eyes. His body was pinned down just like that and their lips overlapped.
“Mmm….”
Jeongbae’s hands tightly hugged Jaehyuk’s broad back. He could feel reassured at least during this moment. As long as he was in his hands, in his arms, right now. He slowly pulled down his own pants and underwear. Jaehyuk hurriedly took off and threw his t-shirt. A tightly built muscular upper body, eyes full of heat looking down at him.
Jeongbae pulled down his t-shirt to cover his empty lower half but stopped. Eventually, as if determined, he covered his face with both arms and slowly spread his legs as if showing them. He felt like he would die of embarrassment. He wished he would hurry up and do something, but Jaehyuk drew in a breath as if appreciating that shameful appearance and stopped for a moment. His lower half stood up sharply at the frantically intertwined pheromones.
“Jeongbae, I like you.”
A low voice murmured as if entranced. At that sweet whisper, goosebumps rose along Jeongbae’s spine. Then large hands stroked the inside of his thighs and pressed firmly. The tip of the thick cock rubbed and widened the hole just like that. His mind became hazy at the pheromones like the scent of a fresh forest.
The cock slowly entering his already soaking wet hole. Jeongbae felt like he was going crazy at the slow and strangely stimulating feeling. Jaehyuk, who was always busy pushing in, had become more skilled and even gained composure through the relationship that had continued for the past few days. The young and vigorous alpha was even quick to learn.
“Hur… hurry up.”
“I don’t want to? Ah, your inside feels so good.”
A tight but full feeling. As the time of doing nothing while inserted grew longer, the impatient Jeongbae eventually couldn’t bear it and slightly moved his hips to grind. At that small movement, Jaehyuk’s reason finally flew away. The cock thrust up violently enough to make slapping sounds on his buttocks.
‘I like you. I like you. Jaehyuk.’
For Jaehyuk’s sake, Jeongbae could do anything. But only those words never came out of his mouth in the end.
