“I ordered the double patty on purpose because you like it.”
Seo Juhan, who had arrived at the table, took out the items from the bag one by one. Despite coming through the pouring rain, the food inside was safe.
“Want some milkshake?”
Seo Juhan opened the cupboard and took out a tall paper cup. He removed the milkshake lid and poured it into the paper cup. The thick white beverage stretched out in a stream.
“……Yes.”
Go Un, who had been standing at a distance, finally took off his helmet. His jet-black bangs, wet with what could have been sweat or rain, stuck to his forehead. Glancing around while gently brushing his bangs, Go Un placed his helmet on an empty chair.
Seo Juhan, who had been pouring the milkshake, looked up and his eyes widened.
“Why are you sweating so much in cold sweat? Are you sick somewhere?”
“No…… I’m not.”
Go Un pulled off the glove fingers one by one from the gloves that stuck to his hands, soaked. No matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding eye contact, looking extremely uncomfortable somewhere.
“As if. Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard trying to make money?”
Smack. The damp black leather gloves fell on top of the helmet.
“Here.”
Seo Juhan held out the drink as if to say wet your throat first.
Go Un just stared at him with a cool expression from a distance.
What’s with him?
“Drink it.”
Ignoring Seo Juhan’s encouragement, Go Un suddenly asked.
“Do you like hamburgers that much, ssaem?”
It was an unexpected question that even sounded impudent.
Flustered, Seo Juhan asked back.
“What?”
“I mean, you order them every single day.”
Go Un added, rolling his eyes as if talking to himself.
“It’s not like you’re some burger addict or something.”
Really now.
“……Ya. I ordered it thinking of you.”
Maybe he didn’t like deliveries coming all the way in the rain? Well, Yangseong School was quite a distance from the shopping district where the store was located.
“Forget it. Just drink what I already poured and go.”
Seo Juhan took a step toward Go Un.
That’s when it happened. The slipper landed precisely on the moisture that had fallen on the floor. The slippery sole scraped across the floor as if mopping. His body, losing balance, tilted.
“Whoa!”
Soon the pale liquid completely soaked the chest of his sports short-sleeved tee. A sweet smell wafted up from beyond the traces dripping down.
It was a catastrophe achieved while avoiding falling on his butt.
“……Ah fuck, shit……”
Recalling his social prestige as a teacher standing before a student, Seo Juhan barely managed to contain the curse that reflexively tried to burst out.
Fortunately, there were clothes to change into in the cabinet. It was the shirt he’d worn coming to work. Remembering that, he barely managed to calm down the anger that had shot up to the top of his head.
“That’s why you should take it quickly. What a waste, spilled it all.”
Seo Juhan grumbled as he put down the paper cup on the table. The thick milkshake, half remaining, sloshed around.
He pulled out several tissues and wiped off the shake that had gotten on his clothes.
“Ah…… it’s sticky.”
Still, the stickiness remained.
Only then did he notice the pale liquid that had fallen on the floor. Seo Juhan squatted down and roughly wiped it up.
Go Un, who had been silently watching him cause an accident and clean it up by himself, also pulled out a few tissues. Then he helped wipe from the side.
How long had he not cleaned – after wiping up the white liquid, the tissue had turned black.
“Ugh……”
Seo Juhan picked up only the edge of the dampened tissue with his thumb and index finger as if disgusted. He walked over and flung it into the trash can.
“If you’re going to eat before leaving, go ahead and eat first.”
Appreciating the help, Seo Juhan encouraged him once more before taking a step. He walked to his personal cabinet, lifting the front of his t-shirt as much as possible to keep it away from his skin.
Go Un behind him was still silent.
Perhaps affected by the weather, the guy was definitely a bit strange today. Like a werewolf that becomes a beast when the full moon rises, his personality seemed to twist when it rained.
When he opened the cabinet door with the key still inserted, he could see the clothes he’d put in a shopping bag. Seo Juhan grabbed the waist area with both hands and pulled off the damp t-shirt in one go. His brown hair went up with it, then flopped back down.
He shook out the t-shirt and examined the front. A large stain remained like he’d peed himself. He hung it on the open cabinet door to dry at least until he got home. Then, just as he was about to take out clothes from the shopping bag—
Something that burst out from behind suddenly embraced his upper body.
For a moment, startled Seo Juhan flinched. However, since there was only one other person besides himself, his surprised heart quickly calmed down.
“What the……”
He looked down at the heavy forearm wrapped in a black jacket.
“Ya, ya, don’t do that.”
Though his annoyed voice clearly showed he didn’t like it, it wasn’t quite to the level of disgust. Generally speaking, guys expressed intimacy through all sorts of physical contact – roughhousing, hitting, pushing. It was similar to how the closer you are, the more you curse at each other.
However, Seo Juhan, who didn’t enjoy human interaction, absolutely hated this kind of joke. Moreover, the wet leather sticking to his bare skin was unpleasant.
“Ya, it’s gross, so get off.”
His arms were squeezed tight so he couldn’t move an inch. He struggled with all his might but didn’t budge. He couldn’t match him in strength to begin with.
“Don’t joke around.”
Genuinely annoyed, Seo Juhan lowered his voice.
“It’s not a joke though.”
A cave-like voice was heard near his ear. It was much lower, more sultry, and thicker than what Seo Juhan usually knew.
However, Seo Juhan only knew about things like romance and sex theoretically but was ignorant in reality. He didn’t notice at all what color was contained in that voice.
This bastard, where does he get off playing around with his teacher.
“Ya, Go Un. I told you to let go.”
Seo Juhan lowered his voice and instructed solemnly.
Hmm. Far from letting go, Go Un buried his nose in Seo Juhan’s nape and inhaled deeply. Mixed with the body scent of sweat emanating from Juhan was a faintly sweet fragrance. The artificial sweet scent made it even more appetizing.
Does he have a cold? Why is he sniffling like that? Unaware of this, Seo Juhan twisted his body while asserting his authority as a teacher.
“Ya, am I your friend? I said let go. I’ve been going easy on you and now you’re really getting cocky.”
“Who’s the one getting cocky?”
It was an impudent tone with none of his usual politeness.
“What did you just say?”
Seo Juhan raised his voice, furrowing his brow.
“Why do you keep bothering someone who’s just staying still?”
Go Un growled, burying his nose against his shoulder.
“Ha…… now this bastard’s even talking back.”
Seo Juhan let out an incredulous laugh. He felt pathetic for having cared about such an ill-mannered punk.
“Ya, if you don’t want to eat, just go. Go.”
“Who said I don’t want to eat?”
“Ah fuck, then let go, ugh!”
Suddenly grabbed at the crotch, Seo Juhan reflexively curled up his body.
By this point, even Seo Juhan could feel that Go Un’s state toward him was abnormal. However, with his shallow empathy skills, only emotions like anger or hatred were within his predictive range.
“Ya…… why, why are you doing this?”
He traced his memory wondering where on earth this level of resentment had originated.
Countless afterimages flashed by.
Was he upset that I told him to throw out the trash every time he delivered? Or was it because I put the class representative hat on him in the classroom and dumped all sorts of odd jobs on him?
Come to think of it, from his perspective, it was the worst thing to have his time taken away when college entrance exams were approaching. But didn’t he say he wasn’t going to college?
“Huk!”
While his head was spinning busily, Go Un’s hand started kneading his crotch. It was a rough touch close to torture.
“Ah, it hurts! Ya!”
Seo Juhan let out a flustered breath while urgently grabbing his wrist. However, the hand movements that seemed about to crush his groin completely continued.
“Stop it! Ya!”
Seo Juhan clenched his fist and kept hitting Go Un’s arm. He used quite a bit of strength, but there was no reaction at all, as if his sense of pain was paralyzed.
“Haah……”
Go Un exhaled breath full of moisture. With his other hand, he stroked Juhan’s abdomen, concave from tension.
Having directly touched the body he’d violated countless times in his imagination, his breathing naturally grew rough. Anticipation swelled that he could handle it freely as he pleased in his grasp. The tightly constricted front seemed ready to burst at any moment.
“Ah shit…… talk! Use words! Kuk!”
Seo Juhan increased the intensity of his resistance, but it only had the opposite effect. His buttocks in thin training pants were rubbed roughly against the crotch they touched.
“Fuck……”
That feeble resistance instantly demolished Go Un’s self-control.
“This bastard really……”
Go Un, who had been suppressing the desire to knock him down right away, no longer held back. He grabbed the thin wrist and dragged him by sheer force.
“Ya! Let go, I said let go!”
Seo Juhan’s legs crossed like chopsticks and danced. He put weight on his heels to avoid falling. But there was nothing he could do except stagger and be dragged along.
Veins stood out clearly on Go Un’s thick hand. Even while firmly applying strength, he even had the leisure to look around.
“Doesn’t the teachers’ office have… something like a sofa? How shabby.”
The Second Teachers’ Office consisted entirely of desks surrounded by partitions and various office equipment.
Instead, Go Un changed his destination to the table where late-night snacks had been about to be set up. He roughly swept away the brown bags sprawled on the table and sharply pulled the thin wrist that kept resisting without giving up.
