# Chapter 75
“Suhyun, hh, Esper-nim…”
Jiwon trembled involuntarily as he called out to Suhyun.
Suhyun pressed his lips to Jiwon’s nape once more, licking it wetly before capturing Jiwon’s lips again.
“Mmm…!”
The sensation of having his tongue tip sucked was vivid. The stimulation unconsciously made him feel hot. Jiwon’s mind went blank, as if questioning whether they had really come in here for guiding.
Strength gradually left Jiwon’s hands. His once straight back lost its rigidity. Suhyun mounted Jiwon, who was now half-lying down, and repeatedly kissed his cheeks as Jiwon exhaled quick breaths.
“Hah…, ah.”
“Ha….”
As Suhyun’s equally heated breath spread, every cell in Jiwon’s body seemed to boil.
When he raised his gaze with hazy eyes, he found piercing bright eyes looking at him as if they would devour him.
“Nng, ah….”
Those eyes seemed to bind him completely. Jiwon couldn’t move an inch as he accepted Suhyun’s lips.
His mind felt numb. Only the urge to be closer intensified. Jiwon, swept away by instinct, clung to Suhyun while squirming his hips. Suhyun’s solid body pressed even more firmly against Jiwon.
“Ah…, wait…!”
Jiwon, who had been lost in ecstasy exchanging saliva, suddenly came to his senses when Suhyun’s hot hand slipped under his top.
Like being doused with cold water, his lost rationality returned, and Jiwon reflexively gripped Suhyun’s hand tightly.
“……”
Suhyun’s shoulders rose and fell repeatedly as he breathed heavily. Jiwon’s heart responded noisily, seemingly screaming to let go of the hand he was holding.
But instead, Jiwon gripped Suhyun’s arm even tighter. Suhyun didn’t shake off Jiwon’s hand, but he looked threatening, as if he might devour him at any moment.
Jiwon, who had tucked in his lips that were slick and glistening with saliva, opened them hesitantly.
“Well…”
They had hugged and kissed. Suhyun could perform this level of guiding as much as needed.
Honestly, now that Jiwon had come to like Suhyun, he wouldn’t mind going further. Though the location was a bit inappropriate…
But Suhyun would probably feel differently. Jiwon could guess why he was acting this way.
When his previously stable wavelength suddenly dropped, he instinctively clung to his guide in an unconscious attempt to return to his original stable state.
So, this was more instinctual than rational, and he would inevitably regret it later when he looked back.
“Are… are you okay?”
Jiwon asked cautiously.
Knowing Suhyun would regret it, he couldn’t firmly cut it off, but even to his own ears, his tone was ambiguous.
His feelings that he would be fine if Suhyun was fine were clearly conveyed.
“No, I mean… Esper-nim. You’re not thinking clearly right now, right?”
Belatedly realizing, Jiwon hastily added, cupping Suhyun’s cheeks. Life gradually returned to Suhyun’s unfocused eyes.
Suhyun’s motionless hands twitched. He seemed to be grasping the situation. Not particularly pleased about this, Jiwon bit his lower lip before offering a small smile.
It was a complete mess, being more focused on satisfying his personal desires than on guiding.
“How’s your… body feeling?”
Still reluctant to back down completely, Jiwon pretended to be casual as he gently kissed Suhyun’s lips before pulling away and asking.
He knew better than anyone that he was hoping Suhyun would lose his rationality again with that kiss.
“Ah….”
Suhyun’s gaze fixed on Jiwon’s lips. As if responding to Jiwon’s expectations, he tightened his grip on Jiwon’s waist.
Rrrrrr.
But the tense atmosphere that seemed about to explode was abruptly cut off by Suhyun’s monotonous ringtone.
The large body that had been covering Jiwon disappeared. Suhyun sat up straight and properly seated Jiwon as well. The person who had been right in front of him a moment ago seemed to have vanished, leaving things completely straightforward.
“Yes.”
Suhyun’s voice answering the phone was husky. It sounded so sensual that Jiwon wished no one else could hear it.
“Understood.”
Fortunately, his voice quickly returned to normal. Realizing Suhyun had completely regained his senses, Jiwon swallowed a sigh.
‘Just my luck…’
This was like trying to take advantage of the situation only to fail miserably.
“I think I need to go.”
Jiwon didn’t respond immediately. It was fortunate that Suhyun’s sharp wavelength had significantly calmed down in such a short time, but it was still disappointing.
They send him away only to call him back so quickly?
“…Alright.”
Was he aging backward?
Jiwon barely resisted the urge to whine about wanting to stay longer. It was the first time he’d felt such an intense desire to remain close to someone, which left him bewildered.
“Stay here.”
“No.”
Fortunately, there wasn’t much time to dwell on such childish thoughts.
“What if another fight breaks out?”
Although Kalik had acted like he would just leave, one couldn’t be sure. Leaving the guide behind in this situation would be foolish.
“Let’s go, quickly.”
Is he embarrassed and wants to be apart?
That might be the case, but it wasn’t acceptable. Fearing Suhyun might stop him, Jiwon turned to leave in the opposite direction.
But he was immediately stopped by Suhyun’s hand. Jiwon twitched his eyebrows as if asking what was wrong.
“Just a moment….”
Suhyun sighed and muttered. Wondering what was happening, Jiwon looked up at him, only to find Suhyun starting to straighten Jiwon’s clothes.
“Ah.”
Only then did Jiwon realize how disheveled his appearance was. To think his clothes had become so wrinkled in such a short time.
He somewhat understood why Suhyun had told him to stay behind.
But it was still dangerous. It would be better to appear a bit unkempt.
“…Is it okay now?”
At Jiwon’s question, Suhyun narrowed his eyes. He still looked reluctant.
“Shouldn’t we be going now?”
As if to say that was enough, Jiwon took the initiative. He reached out to leave, but was once again blocked by Suhyun.
“…Just a moment.”
He spoke with a voice full of sighs. As Jiwon was about to reply that he was fine, Suhyun suddenly took off Jiwon’s outer garment.
“What are you….”
Jiwon’s eyes widened in surprise. Regardless, Suhyun also removed the t-shirt he was wearing underneath and tossed it aside. After taking off the black t-shirt that had been partially covering his neck, Suhyun handed it to Jiwon.
Dumbfounded, Jiwon stared blankly at Suhyun. The situation was puzzling, but it was hard to take his eyes off Suhyun’s solid body that he suddenly faced.
“It would be better if you change into that before going out.”
Suhyun said while putting his outer garment back on his now bare upper body.
“…Ah.”
Jiwon, who had been wondering why, belatedly exclaimed. It was because he recalled Suhyun biting his neck.
So a mark was left.
As soon as he realized this, his face flushed hot. Suhyun turned his gaze away and said:
“I’ll wait outside. Please come out when you’re dressed.”
Though he might have tried to stop Suhyun for fear he would leave alone, Jiwon couldn’t bring himself to say anything and just nodded.
Suhyun left first, and only after the door closed did Jiwon exhale deeply.
His heart was pounding as if it would burst.
***
Suhyun’s clothes were a bit big on Jiwon. He expected this, but the difference in their builds was really apparent.
Anyway, checking in the rearview mirror, the marks on his nape were well-covered. Seeing Suhyun, who had been staring intently, nod, it seemed certain.
“Hmm.”
Jo Wooyeon gazed at them with peculiar eyes. It was inevitable since they had switched clothes.
“He insisted there was something he needed to say.”
Instead of discussing that matter, Wooyeon jerked his chin toward the airplane. Displeased that it was still delayed and wasting time, Jiwon frowned.
“I was going to ignore it, but contacted you just in case.”
Suhyun nodded. Then he walked straight into the airplane. Jiwon followed him.
What could he possibly have to say?
He couldn’t shake off his unpleasant feelings. The lavish interior of the airplane also annoyed him. The treatment was too good for those who had come to destroy another country.
Though it was the private jet they had arrived on.
“Wow, looks like you had a good time.”
Kalik snickered as soon as he saw the two. Jiwon frowned and Suhyun looked at him with cold eyes.
“Damn it.”
Kalik, trapped inside the prison Suhyun had created, immediately cursed. His face instantly turned pale.
“Haa…. I get it. If I shut up, huff, it’ll be fine.”
It seemed the air inside the prison had escaped.
After giving Kalik, who was struggling to breathe, a satisfied look, Jiwon turned to Adam, who had apparently regained his senses.
“You came.”
His body was a mess. There was no reason to treat him, so they had left him untended. Adam looked quite strained, but Jiwon felt not a shred of sympathy.
“I wanted to make one last proposal.”
His subsequent words, showing no sign of remorse, made Jiwon think he should have suffered more.
“Come with us.”
“Is he insane…?”
Even with limited English skills, Jiwon could understand this much. Before the interpreter could continue, Jiwon laughed in disbelief.
“I won’t stay quiet.”
Yet Adam remained confident.
It was puzzling why he was so brazen.
“Your parents are in the United States.”
“……”
“Do you think they’ll be safe?”
Jiwon’s lips parted in shock. Adam had been glaring at Suhyun all along.
He didn’t simply want them to come along. The bastard was just venting his hostility toward Suhyun, who had reduced him to this state.
“That was a waste of time.”
Suhyun remarked indifferently. The words were directed at Jiwon.
“Ugh…!”
Simultaneously, Adam clutched his chest in agony. He too was now trapped in a prison like Chase and Adam.
“Let’s go back.”
Suhyun turned around without blinking an eye, as if he couldn’t even see Adam, whose face had gone pale from speaking nonsense.
Jiwon nodded and followed Suhyun.
‘It’s good we came.’
Unlike Suhyun’s thoughts, Jiwon considered it fortunate that Adam had openly shown his hostility.
He might have overlooked the idea that Suhyun’s parents needed protection.
Wouldn’t it be better to bring them to Korea? Since the American Association couldn’t be trusted, it seemed wiser to request that Suhyun’s parents be sent back to Korea while they had the chance.
He should probably discuss it with Suhyun first.
“……”
As soon as they exited the airplane, Jiwon, who was about to mention his parents, changed his mind and kept his mouth shut.
Whether it was just a feeling or not, somehow he thought Suhyun wouldn’t want to talk about it.
Perhaps Suhyun didn’t care what happened to his parents.
What kind of people were his parents?
How did Suhyun feel about them?
How had he grown up?
Why had he refused to go to America where his parents were?
Though various questions suddenly arose, Jiwon didn’t voice any of them.
