Smooch.
Leaving behind a small sound barely audible to the ear, their lips parted.
It was a short and cautious kiss.
He couldn’t be certain, but this was probably the first kiss Hyowoo had ever experienced in his life.
His heart, which had been aching until just moments ago, now changed to pounding.
‘Were lips originally this warm and soft? They’re firm yet fluffy… exactly like marshmallows.’
His fingertips unconsciously moved toward his lips. In that place that had been roughly dry, there really remained a sweet aftertaste as if he had gently pressed and removed jelly.
So a kiss feels this good.
‘But… it was too short.’
A small sigh of regret escaped.
Even though it was just one short kiss, Hyowoo’s face flushed red as if he’d taken a sip of wine. Gently stroking the shyly colored cheek with the back of his hand, Lee Seohee whispered in his ear.
“Is it okay to do more?”
Hyowoo, who had been blankly fiddling with his lips, opened his eyes wide. He looked exactly like a startled rabbit. At that adorable appearance, Lee Seohee pressed their lips together again before even hearing an answer, as if he couldn’t wait any longer.
When he lightly bit the lower lip and sucked weakly, Hyowoo’s lips naturally parted.
Through that gap, Lee Seohee carefully pushed in the tip of his tongue. He lightly traced the even teeth and took time to slowly explore inside his mouth.
“Ah…”
After thoroughly exploring the warm mucous membrane, he pushed his tongue in even deeper.
When the soft flesh touched the tip of his tongue, flustered Hyowoo reflexively tried to pull his body back. However, Lee Seohee had no intention of letting go easily. He chased after the tongue hiding in the corner and gently entwined it as it was.
“Ngh… mmh…”
Hyowoo let out a faint moan.
He was confused about how to react to the deep kiss he was experiencing for the first time, but soon he gradually fell into that sweet sensation.
His head became hazy and his eyelids slowly closed. Without realizing it, he tightly grasped his shirt and naturally entrusted his body.
As if stimulated by that innocent gesture, Lee Seohee entwined his tongue even more intensely and indulged in his mouth.
The wet sounds of lapping echoed in his ears.
‘What should I do? I like it so much… I feel like my tongue will melt…’
Every moment with him was ecstatic.
Lee Seohee’s tongue and lips toying with his delicate mouth were hot.
Though his mind was becoming hazy to the point of confusion, Hyowoo didn’t want to stop.
Clumsily responding to his tongue, Hyowoo’s lips became soaked in the deep kiss.
His saliva and the saliva flowing in from him mixed and pooled full in his mouth. If it were another person’s saliva, it would normally feel dirty. Was it because the other party was Lee Seohee? Strangely, it wasn’t unpleasant.
The liquid he couldn’t swallow in time overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Transparent droplets followed his jawline and wet his shirt collar.
‘…Something must have happened to my head… My lips are… burning…’
Each time his saliva passed down his throat, he felt a sweet sensation like slowly melting his favorite chocolate.
After frantically exchanging kisses for quite a while like that, the two finally barely separated from each other.
Haa… haa…
Hyowoo caught his breath quietly. His pale face had already turned a beautiful rose color up to the tips of his ears, and his bloodless lips had also swollen plumply, becoming an even prettier shape.
When he came to his senses, he became embarrassed of himself for being engrossed in kissing as if possessed by something.
When he lowered his head to avoid his gaze, Lee Seohee deliberately made a ‘smooch—’ sound and kissed him.
“Is your neck okay too?”
He asked while lightly touching Hyowoo’s shirt collar wet with saliva.
“I want to know more of Hyowoo-ssi’s other places.”
The moment hot breath touched his ear, his body heated up hotly. Even without expressing it explicitly, he could tell what he wanted to do.
He couldn’t bring himself to meet his eyes.
With his head lowered, Hyowoo barely nodded once in place of an answer.
With permission, Lee Seohee skillfully unbuttoned two buttons at once.
Between the slightly opened shirt collar, pink skin flushed with heat was revealed.
When his lips touched above the collarbone, Hyowoo’s body trembled slightly.
At the ticklish sensation, his heart began to pound rapidly. And vaguely frightening thoughts also arose.
‘Seohee-ssi isn’t someone who would hurt me…’
His heart permitted him, but his body apparently wasn’t ready yet.
The only time another person had touched his bare skin was that day.
The memories of being mercilessly violated, remaining all over his body, made Hyowoo hesitate.
Did he notice the very subtle anxiety cast over his face?
He soon removed his lips and gently stroked his cheek.
“Tell me if you don’t like it. I won’t do it anymore.”
Lee Seohee also knew that he had severe trauma regarding sexual acts.
Hyowoo stared blankly at him smiling kindly, saying he wouldn’t do anything if he was scared.
After hesitating for a moment, he carefully shook his head.
“I don’t… dislike it…”
“Don’t push yourself. You don’t need to force yourself to endure because of me.”
“No, really… I don’t dislike Seohee-ssi…”
It was sincere.
Physical contact with others, especially contact with Alphas, was still frightening, but he didn’t dislike his touch.
‘If it’s this person… it might be okay to be touched…’
Feeling there was no lie in those words, Lee Seohee seemed relieved and soon unbuttoned up to the third button.
“I’ll do it slowly. Tell me if it’s hard.”
It was when he was carefully caressing and kissing the slender neck and shoulders that had reddened as much as his face. Lee Seohee suddenly stopped moving.
“…Seohee-ssi…?”
When the continuous kisses abruptly stopped, Hyowoo carefully called him.
When there was no response and he gently raised his head, an unfamiliar face entered his view.
The smile that had always been gentle had completely disappeared, leaving only coldness.
At that moment, Hyowoo’s expression also hardened.
“…Did you see it?”
He could tell what he saw without having to ask.
Hyowoo’s nape was completely covered in scars.
Between the white and smooth skin, terrible wounds revealed that were hard to look at with eyes open. They were marks from that day, scratches he had clawed and scraped into his own living flesh to erase the traces left by the demon.
Facing the remnants condensed with pain, Lee Seohee clenched his fist tightly. He could also hear the sound of grinding his molars hard—crack.
Sadness welled up in Hyowoo’s eyes as he saw the back of his hand with bulging veins.
“…It’s disgusting to look at, right? It’s ugly, so stop looking…”
“You don’t need to hide it.”
“But it’s repulsive. I don’t want to show Seohee-ssi such an ugly appearance…”
He quietly grabbed the trembling hand trying to button up the shirt.
“It’s not repulsive. It’s not disgusting to look at at all, and it’s not ugly.”
Before the words even finished, his lips descended upon the deepest scar. When the warm touch seeped into the vivid scar continuing from neck to shoulder, Hyowoo squeezed his eyes shut.
“Ah…”
Lee Seohee seemed to carefully bite the scar, then sucked the delicate skin strongly.
“Does it hurt a lot?”
“I’m… I’m okay… ngh.”
Though he said he was okay, there was pain because his skin was sensitive. Hyowoo, whose shoulders trembled slightly, didn’t bring out the words ‘it hurts’ until the end.
“Ah, ah… ngh…”
When the lips that had lingered persistently for a long time fell away, a mark like a red lotus leaf remained in that spot.
“It’s beautifully marked.”
He looked at the trace he left with satisfaction.
“Want to touch it?”
Lee Seohee asked while gently rubbing the petal with his fingertips, but Hyowoo could only move his lips without being able to say anything.
Lee Seohee had left a kiss mark on the place he most wanted to hide. As if to cover the traces from that day.
Tears welled up again for no reason.
“You said you don’t cry much, but how many times are you crying today already?”
A smile had already returned to his face.
Lee Seohee, who gently wiped the moistly wet corners of his eyes, reached his hand to the remaining buttons.
The third, fourth… it was just as he was about to unbutton the last one.
Hyowoo, who had been quietly looking at his hand, urgently opened his mouth.
“Cl… clothes… I don’t want to take them off…”
“If it’s because of the scars, don’t worry about it. At least in front of me.”
“It’s not that… I just, don’t want to take them off…”
Since that day when his boyfriend forcibly stripped his clothes, Hyowoo didn’t try to become naked in front of anyone.
‘I thought it would be okay… I guess it’s still too much…’
Just moments ago, he had accepted suffocatingly hot kisses as if nothing, but now changing his attitude over one piece of clothing. Though it was a situation worthy of displeasure, Lee Seohee didn’t even frown and obediently withdrew his hand.
He kept his promise not to do anything he disliked.
Instead, he embraced Hyowoo’s waist with one hand. With the other hand, he carefully cupped his nape and pulled him close.
The two naturally pressed their lips together again. They shared a deeper kiss, mixing their tongues more boldly than before.
Hyowoo unconsciously wrapped both arms around Lee Seohee’s neck. Then, continuing the kiss, he carefully laid Hyowoo down backward as if handling a baby.
It became a position where Lee Seohee seemed to mount over his body lying straight on the bed.
Though the difference in their builds was quite large, it wasn’t heavy because he was supporting himself with his arms and knees. However, when his right knee wedged between his legs, Hyowoo, who had been intoxicated by the kiss, was startled and pulled away his lips.
“Seo… Seohee-ssi…?”
Between the two thin legs that seemed like they would break like twigs with just a little force, a thick and solid thigh was firmly positioned.
Because of the thigh as thick as an average adult woman’s waist, Hyowoo had no choice but to spread his legs wide. Never mind the discomfort, it had become a strangely lewd position.
When embarrassment overlapped with his face already heated from kissing, Hyowoo’s cheeks quickly turned bright red as if about to burst.
“Seohee-ssi… your… leg…”
“What about my leg?”
Though he knew what he meant, he smiled cheekily.
After lightly licking Hyowoo’s mumbling lips like a puppy, he deliberately applied force and rubbed his groin with his knee.
“Ahngh…!”
Surprised by the cry he let out without realizing it, Hyowoo hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands.
‘Th… that sound, did it come from my mouth just now…?’
His face had now turned red as if about to burst.
“St… stop teasing…”
He looked at Lee Seohee with eyes asking him to remove it quickly, but he paid no heed and applied his weight to subtly press Hyowoo’s center.
