With that man right in front of him, Saehyeon took a slow, deep breath. Now Gil Taeseo would probably pull out that huge weapon and torment him. But surprisingly, his heart was calm. After doing something that made him feel like a real fucking pervert—having Gil Taeseo suck his dick and cumming in his mouth—everything else felt incredibly trivial.
“Fine, do whatever you want. Do it.”
He also had this thought. No matter how robust an Alpha he was, hadn’t he given up not only his coat but even his shoes in front of the fierce sea breeze? He didn’t want to become the protagonist of some old-fashioned 19+ cliché of repaying with his body… but still, he had no choice.
But once again, Gil Taeseo made a spectacle of rendering Saehyeon’s determination meaningless.
“Spread them.”
“N-no.”
“I said spread them?”
“I said no!”
Saehyeon resisted desperately with his legs squeezed together. In front of him now stood Gil Taeseo holding something long in his hand.
“Ah, I said I’ll wash myself…!”
“As if, when your legs are all weak. We’ve already seen everything anyway, so let’s hurry up and get this over with.”
Here’s what had happened. Gil Taeseo had suddenly lifted up Saehyeon, who had been lying humbly sprawled on the bed. He’d expected that much. But Saehyeon was flustered when the next destination turned out to be the bathroom, which he’d just washed in and was still full of moisture.
The man sat Saehyeon on the edge of the bathtub and then stepped back.
‘Bath… bathroom, we’ve never done it in the bathroom before.’
While staring intently at the restless Saehyeon as if watching him, Gil Taeseo bit down on a toothbrush.
‘When he’s going to do that.’
It was probably because of that… oral… whatever act from earlier. He would have done the same, so he could accept that part, but the problem was what came next. He’d thrust a showerhead at him saying he’d wash Saehyeon’s lower half once more. And that he’d do it himself, personally.
“Do I look like an idiot who can’t even wash, kyaah!”
Saehyeon, bursting with indignation, jumped up. And at that very moment, he stepped on water pooled on the floor and lost his balance. If Gil Taeseo hadn’t grabbed him right away from beside him, he would have definitely crashed into something.
“Such bullshit.”
“…I can just sit in the bathtub and wash.”
In the end, while Gil Taeseo turned to face a nearby wall, Saehyeon, who ended up sitting in the bathtub to wash, muttered curses under his breath. The experience of washing that area with the man who had just sucked him off standing beside him was, fuck. His face felt like it would explode.
‘Right. He feels like washing his own mouth and also washing my lower half, is that it?’
Just like the fussy young master he is. He really thought it was excessive even for being fastidious.
“If you toss and turn again, just you wait.”
Gil Taeseo brought Saehyeon like that to the bed and covered him with the blanket. Then he burrowed under the covers himself and closed his eyes just like that.
“……”
Over the cheek of the man lying flat with his eyes closed, his eyelashes cast shadows like long awnings. The trajectory that stretched long due to the mood light turned on beside them had a charm that made the viewer stare blankly.
‘This is really the end?’
Saehyeon, who consciously took his gaze off Gil Taeseo, looked at the ceiling. While he maintained the proper position as the man had laid him down in the blanket, all kinds of thoughts passed through his stiff head.
Early departure from work, the night view spread out the window, the night sea, and now. Even the matter of sucking only Saehyeon’s dick like he was possessed and ending it just like that.
It wasn’t that Gil Taeseo hadn’t gotten an erection. Perhaps because he was an Alpha in his vigorous prime, when they usually overlapped bodies, Gil Taeseo’s thing would quickly get hard and poke at Saehyeon’s butt or back and such. Even when they were arguing in the bathroom earlier, there had clearly been a presence that couldn’t be hidden even by the thick robe.
Nevertheless, Gil Taeseo hadn’t done anything. There wasn’t even an act of probing his rear. Gil Taeseo truly hadn’t done a single thing that he himself could feel.
Even though he could have done it if he wanted to. He was in a position where he had to do it even if he didn’t want to when he demanded it, and he must have clearly known that Saehyeon would reluctantly consent if pushed.
Yet he didn’t do it.
‘…Why?’
Until now, Saehyeon had thought the reason Gil Taeseo was obsessed with him was possessiveness or obsession, or sympathy or mockery. Or if not that, then moderate necessity or interest.
The first was the realm of instinct, the second was the realm of emotion, and the last was the realm of reason.
To explain it in detail, it felt like this.
Either his head had briefly spun due to an Alpha’s unique instinct, or he found it pitiful and fun to trample on the guy who had fought with him so intensely as he groveled.
Or he meant that he himself also needed a convenient target for sexual release, and might have been interested in the person who suddenly appeared with a child claiming to be terminally ill.
Throughout their time together so far, he could reasonably attach a reason from among these. When he offered money, he thought it might be sympathy or feel like payment for sex, and when he kept trying to fuck him anywhere, he thought Alphas really go into heat anytime, anywhere.
But this right now… he couldn’t define it with any of those. That was precisely the problem.
‘There’s no way he’d treat me well without a reason.’
Isn’t that how everything in the world works? Even the parents who gave birth to Saehyeon were like that. People demanded and projected what they each wanted onto others, and only returned goodwill when they obtained it. For that reason, Saehyeon had viewed and accepted interpersonal relationships quite calculatingly. And until now, he’d never been betrayed by that.
Until this situation.
The more he thought about it, the more complicated his head became. When he tried to stop thinking because his head hurt, the intense memories he’d just experienced readily took that place. The face bent between his legs, fucking annoyingly pretty. That sight of him slightly lowering his eyes and parting his pretty lips to take his dick in his mouth and suck.
When he barely managed to push away the demon-possessed memory, now large bare feet standing on the sandy beach came to mind. It was truly a dilemma on all sides, surrounded on all fronts.
‘Damn it, how am I supposed to sleep like this?’
Grumbling inwardly, Saehyeon pulled the blanket up to the top of his head. He’d probably be up all night today, but he didn’t want to wake Gil Taeseo again, so it was an action taken for that reason.
Inside the blanket was warm, perhaps because of the Alpha beside him, and his body, alternately tempered by hardship and hot water, was drowsy.
“…ppa.”
It was a bit stuffy, but at this level, he could endure until morning…….
“…appa!”
“Huk!”
Saehyeon’s eyes flew open. The moment he opened his eyes, he was attacked head-on by bright light. It felt like someone had suddenly poked his eyes with their finger. When he blinked a few times like that, his vision cleared.
And he came face to face with sparkling eyes. Eyes and hair that shone like amber, chubby cheeks, even the corners of his eyes that curved like a Hahoe mask the moment their eyes met. It was a face that resembled yet didn’t resemble. Now Saehyeon thought he could find the small pieces that didn’t resemble Gil Taeseo in that face.
Saehyeon opened his mouth to call the child’s name but hesitated. For some reason, it got stuck in his throat and wouldn’t come out.
“Appa, good morning!”
But it was the child who spoke first. Saehyeon blinked both eyes, then slowly opened his mouth.
“…Yeah.”
Having said that first, he gradually came to his senses. When he groggily sat up and looked around, he saw the same room he’d roughly seen at night.
“…Right. We came to the sea yesterday.”
He didn’t even know which sea it was, but anyway, they’d seen the sea and entered the hotel. He’d wondered if last night was just a dream, or if he’d been moved back home already.
“When did you… no, how did you get here?”
“Mister!”
“Mister?”
The child used to refer to most men other than Saehyeon as mister, hyung, and such. Probably one of the misters he saw often next to Gil Taeseo, like Yoon Changwook or Shin Seokwon, had brought him.
‘Why did they bring the kid here? Aren’t we leaving soon?’
While he was thinking it over, someone suddenly interrupted.
“This brat.”
Saehyeon’s shoulders flinched. There couldn’t be two owners of that voice in this world. Naturally, when he turned around, there was Gil Taeseo standing crookedly.
Whether someone had brought clothes for him, the man had taken off the robe and returned to a neat appearance. He noticed the crisp black shirt without a single wrinkle and shoes of a slightly different style.
Looking at that made last night’s shabby outfit feel like a dream. Maybe it really was a dream. As Saehyeon was blinking both eyes, the child who had been chewing on his words boldly shouted once more.
“That, that mister over there!”
While pointing straight at Gil Taeseo.
So, right now… from the circumstances, it seemed Gil Taeseo was the one who had brought the child here. Saehyeon’s eyes busily went back and forth between the child and man facing off.
