“Huh, it’s too ticklish…”
He repeated licking the top broadly and roundly with the flat of his tongue, then digging as if scooping out. Saliva flowed out abundantly and wetted the top, making sloshing sounds. Hyun-woong raised his arm to place it over the eye mask and pressed down on his eyes tightly while clenching his teeth.
“How much longer do I have to…”
A blocked-sounding moan was heard mixed in his voice. Hyun-woong occasionally lifted his waist upward. Though his bone structure itself was thick so his waist was by no means slender, because his shoulders and chest were wide, his waist felt relatively narrow.
Like when exploring with the tongue pointed sharply when feeling a foreign substance on the gums or between teeth, Jae-min, who had been tormenting Hyun-woong’s nipple, suddenly felt a changed texture and separated his mouth. Jae-min’s eyes became round.
“Ah, it came out.”
The small, round piece of flesh that had been deeply buried was standing upright. When he spoke while looking at it wetly soaked, Hyun-woong let out a long breath.
“Then I’ll try the other side too.”
“What? The other side too?”
“Of course I have to do both sides.”
“This feeling is too strange. With what you were doing before…”
“That didn’t work earlier. Please stay still.”
When he spoke firmly, Hyun-woong went “Ugh” and closed his mouth. Jae-min felt a strange sense of victory and stuck out his tongue again.
He became out of breath trying not to let other parts of his face or his breath touch as much as possible to avoid being discovered that he was really rubbing with his tongue. The posture was also uncomfortable. But if he could see Hyun-woong suffering, he could overcome such discomfort. Thrilling spite and sadistic pleasure were dominating Jae-min.
“Ah, success.”
Eventually succeeding in making even the opposite nipple stand upright, Jae-min raised his head with a proud smile. It was a pleased expression like a farmer who’d harvested an amazing crop from a field cultivated their whole life.
Hyun-woong, who had been tensed up at first, had at some point become limp with strength drained from his arms and legs. It was amazing that he, who had been fine even when coming into class after playing several rounds of basketball in a row, had become exhausted so quickly. Jae-min put latex gloves back on his hands.
“Now I’ll massage you gently.”
Whether the tension had eased, even when he put his hands on the chest muscles, he seemed to hurt less than before. Jae-min focused on the massage again as he’d learned. As he spread his fingers wide to wrap the chest and pressed firmly, something like a lump was felt.
‘Definitely, this area is clenched.’
It was the part he’d seen on the ultrasound earlier. Though it felt like tense muscle, thinking that milk was concentrated in this spot gave him a subtle feeling.
“Ngh…”
“Does it hurt?”
“It’s bearable.”
Hyun-woong clenched his fist tightly again. Even his fist was large.
His patiently enduring appearance was like a war hero. He looked like Guan Yu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who supposedly received surgery to cut flesh with a knife to remove a poison arrow without anesthesia while chatting with people around him.
However, when he kneaded harder with more force, a faint moan leaked out again. Jae-min focused on the massage while scanning Hyun-woong making moaning sounds with his eyes.
‘But more than I thought… it’s not hard.’
At first, he naturally thought it would be firm. When he actually pressed it, it felt like his fingers would bounce off. But as the massage progressed, strength gradually drained from his body and the lumps loosened, making the chest soft and squishy.
Jae-min tried grabbing the chest to fill his hand. A strange sense of fullness was felt.
The massage routine he’d learned in advance ended. Jae-min, who removed his hands from the chest flowing with a glossy sheen, glanced to the side. The breast pump machine was prepared next to him.
“Is today’s treatment over now?”
Hyun-woong asked hesitantly.
“Mm, let me try using the device once.”
Jae-min picked up the funnel-shaped glass tube that looked like a cupping glass. Hyun-woong with his eyes covered by the eye mask looked peaceful, not knowing what shape the device that would attach to his chest had.
“Please turn slightly to your side. And the director will come soon.”
When he tapped the bed, Hyun-woong obediently turned his body to the side. When the body that had been lying looking at the ceiling was tilted diagonally, the three-dimensionality of the chest stood out. Jae-min turned on the device’s switch. A sound of air being sucked in came.
He brought the round glass tubes that were hissing and sucking in surrounding air and attached them one by one to Hyun-woong’s chest. When all the tubes, slightly smaller than the size of the pectorals, were attached, the plumply swollen nipples seemed ready to be sucked upward, standing taut. As if a transparent creature was really sucking milk, the nipples were being slightly pulled.
However, unlike what he’d seen and learned beforehand, let alone milky white secretions, nothing came out at all.
“Ugh… ugh.”
The nipples dried from saliva and became fluffy, and just looked painful. Hyun-woong trembled his large body with the glass tubes attached to his chest. Jae-min looked down at Hyun-woong like that, then slightly pulled back the curtain to look outside.
Yong-seok happened to be walking this way. Yong-seok smiled brightly and waved his hand as if asking if he’d finished well. When Jae-min gestured inside with his hand, he walked over with big strides and pulled back the curtain.
“Let me take a look.”
Yong-seok scanned the operating device once, then clicked his tongue.
“As expected, it’s not coming out yet. It’s because you came for the first time today.”
Yong-seok, who explained calmly, pressed the machine switch to turn it off and signaled to Jae-min with his eyes. It was a signal that he could leave now.
Jae-min nodded and quietly went outside the curtain.
“Good work. You can go to the changing room. Get the prescription and make the next appointment.”
From inside the curtain, along with Yong-seok’s voice, the sound of Hyun-woong rustling and getting up came. He seemed ready to come out soon. To avoid having his identity discovered, Jae-min took refuge in the director’s office.
Because he suddenly walked fast, his heart was pounding. After waiting a bit, he heard Hyun-woong being called from outside. Jae-min couldn’t overcome his curiosity and opened the door slightly. Creating a small gap, the conversation at the desk could be heard vividly.
“Here’s the prescription. The medical examination and treatment together is 150,000 won. If you pay in advance for multiple sessions bundled together, you get a 10% discount.”
At the higher price than expected, Jae-min’s eyes widened. He stealthily approached and put his eye to the door crack. Hyun-woong’s figure could be seen faintly. He was dressed with his athletic jersey zipper pulled up to his neck.
“I’ll pay in advance.”
Whether he’d been informed about the price beforehand, no sign of surprise could be found from Hyun-woong holding out his card.
“So today…”
“Since you received a massage and the lumps were released, the pain should have been somewhat alleviated. Take the medicine, and you must come again next time.”
Cheol-hui, the receptionist in charge, continued in his characteristically dry voice.
“Next time it will definitely pump out, so the real treatment starts from then.”
At the word pumping, Hyun-woong froze like stone, then bowed his head. Cheol-hui, who had been quietly watching his turning back, suddenly stood up.
“Oh! This time from the massage, secretions might come out before you come next time. When going out, I recommend attaching gauze or nursing pads.”
At the urgently added words, Hyun-woong visibly flinched. Then like a broken robot, he creakily turned his head.
“Yes, thank you…”
Jae-min definitely witnessed it—Hyun-woong’s face flushed bright red. That expression stained with shame was clearly engraved in Jae-min’s mind.
After Hyun-woong left the clinic, Jae-min only helped with miscellaneous tasks including cleaning, then left work. When he returned home, showered and came out, his whole body drooped with fatigue. It felt like heavy weights were attached to his arms and legs.
Jae-min, who flopped down on the bed, squeezed his eyes shut. He intended to sleep early. But apart from his body being heavy and tired, sleep didn’t come well.
What happened earlier rose in clouds. Kang Hyun-woong lying on the bed with his eyes covered in a half-naked state. Kang Hyun-woong struggling and entrusting his body without knowing he was being tormented by a university classmate. Kang Hyun-woong with inverted nipples…
Kang Hyun-woong who would soon really come to the clinic to have the milk accumulated in his chest squeezed.
‘…What is this?’
Jae-min felt electricity flowing to his lower body for a moment with a tingle. Though he’d been fine earlier.
Was electricity conducting because he was holding his phone while it was plugged into the charger? Did he just get electrocuted? Jae-min, who was examining his phone with suspicious eyes, slyly sat up.
Then he naturally entered the messenger. Hyun-woong’s number, which he’d saved in his address book under the name ‘ㅗ’ last time, had been automatically synced and added to the messenger. The profile was empty with neither photo nor phrase. Jae-min, who was staring at the single vowel character, tapped the screen.
[We should meet soon for the team project meeting]
[We need to decide what each person will do first]
