“……Hey, get lost.”
“Tell me. Don’t friends shower together?”
Why does he keep asking? He couldn’t guess what Gye Sajun was thinking, constantly bringing up ‘friends’ to provoke him. Was it because of the cucumber soap? Because they were in the bathroom? But was the soap really his heat button? Woojae hid his face that felt like it would explode and rushed out of the bathroom.
“Fuck, just hold the soap and jerk off!”
Sajun frowned in front of the bathroom door that Woojae had slammed shut with a bang.
“He should at least tell me how to turn on the water before leaving.”
Go Woojae, who got heated from just a little teasing, was a bit cute and slightly annoying. Still, he’d come here with a purpose today, so he couldn’t just go back like this.
Only after bursting out of the bathroom did Woojae realize he hadn’t told Gye Sajun how to turn on the water. But soon he heard what sounded like showering, so there was no need to go back in.
“Making a fuss calling me when he’ll figure it out fine on his own.”
He soothed his pounding heart and blamed the guy who must be inside the bathroom. Then suddenly an important fact occurred to him.
‘That bastard doesn’t have pajamas.’
Not confident he could handle seeing him come out with that thing dangling, he frantically searched through the closet. The problem was that there were no clothes that could handle that big guy’s body. Moreover, he didn’t have any decent, comfortable loungewear suitable for someone else to wear.
Woojae fell into a dilemma. The largest-sized clothes in this house were floral-patterned refrigerator pants he’d bought by mistake sometime ago and a box t-shirt with traces of kimchi juice stains. Since they were mainly clothes Woojae wore when making kimchi, they were shabby enough that even if he slapped a street beggar three hundred times, it would be acceptable. The only thing that didn’t look cheap was the summer pajamas Nari had bought him for his birthday last year. He’d treasured them and only worn them a few times, but they were slightly big on him too, so that might be better.
“I left pajamas in front of the door, so pick either one and wear it.”
Still, since he was a guest, it seemed better to let him choose. Woojae calmly waited for Gye Sajun’s choice while taking out the blankets he would sleep on. There was a bed in Nari’s room, but he couldn’t let a pitch-black male sleep in his little sister’s room. The room he used to use was now serving as a storage room, so there was no place to spread out blankets. In the end, he designated the floor of the master bedroom that he’d been using since his parents passed away as Gye Sajun’s sleeping spot.
While Woojae was spreading out the blankets and sniffing them, he heard the bathroom door open and close. He must have taken the clothes. What on earth did he choose? He was curious but couldn’t guess.
“……These are a bit short.”
When he turned his head at the voice from behind, he saw Gye Sajun wearing his pajamas.
“Ahaha! Haha! Ha…… ha……, fuck.”
Obscenities flew from Woojae’s mouth as he clutched his stomach laughing at that ridiculous sight. They were definitely clothes that were slightly big on him, but the buttons looked like they would pop off and launch. The short sleeves were about to burst from his arm muscles, and the pants were so short in length they looked like hot pants.
The reason Woojae’s mood soured despite Gye Sajun’s ridiculous appearance was simple. First, he realized his own build was incredibly small compared to Gye Sajun’s, and second, the large outline of his imposing cock was so distinct it seemed about to pierce through the thin summer pajama pants.
“Is it bad?”
“Yeah. Looks like it’ll burst if you flex.”
If the pants were just a little shorter, the tip of his dick would have been visible. What the hell is so big when he’s not even a python? Woojae tried his best to ignore it.
“I had no choice. The other option was rags.”
“Why are those rags?”
They were rags. But since he didn’t want to admit it readily, he got irritated instead. Gye Sajun walked toward him with large strides in his ridiculous getup, seeming unaffected. His stiff appearance, uncomfortable with the tight clothes, was funny and kept making him laugh.
“Where do I sleep?”
He asks even though he can clearly see the blankets laid out. Woojae chuckled and gestured with his chin toward the blankets spread on the floor.
“I laid out the yo. Sleep on the floor.”
“I’ve never slept on the floor.”
What he suspected was exactly right.
“Ugh, fuck. Of course the young master would say that. Then you get on the bed. If you don’t get up there, I’ll kill you, seriously.”
“We can just lie down together. Friends do that.”
It was a double size since it was what his parents used. But it was obvious it would be cramped if he lay down with that guy.
“Hey, even if we’re friends, how can two big guys lie side by side on this narrow bed?”
“What would you have done if you’d brought Bang Minwook?”
“I would’ve let him sleep anywhere! Wherever that guy was comfortable! So you too, stop complaining and get on the bed. Before I really kill you.”
He didn’t know why he kept bringing up Minwook. Woojae raised his fist and threatened Gye Sajun. Whether the threat of punching was effective, Gye Sajun obediently headed toward the bed. In the end, the bedding he’d nicely laid out became Woojae’s.
“I’m going to wash up. Sleep first.”
Since his summer pajamas were taken, Woojae thought he might as well wear the worn-out kimchi-making outfit now that he’d taken it out, and headed to the bathroom carrying those rags.

“Are you asleep?”
The master bedroom he returned to after showering was pitch dark. The subtle silhouette of Gye Sajun visible in the light from the living room made him feel strange. The clock he happened to see was pointing to 11:59 PM. Soon it would be Nari’s, and his, birthday. He felt peculiar.
“No. Not sleeping.”
As he stood still looking toward the bed, Gye Sajun lying on it answered in a languid voice.
“I was thinking I’d study a bit before sleeping.”
“Rest a little too. You’ll collapse from overwork at this rate.”
“Mind your own business.”
It seemed difficult to try to sleep below when Gye Sajun had his eyes wide open. It was when Woojae was about to leave the master bedroom.
“Your sister’s birthday is today.”
It must be past 12 o’clock by now, so what he said would be right. Woojae, who’d been about to leave, obediently nodded instead.
“Yeah.”
It would be a birthday he couldn’t celebrate for her. Wouldn’t Nari be lonely? When there were only the two of them in this world. The sky visible outside the window was small. Since shabby villas were clustered tightly together, the view couldn’t be good.
“When’s your birthday?”
He heard a question he somehow didn’t want to answer. Woojae answered according to instinct.
“I’m not telling you.”
“Tell me. Why won’t you tell me?”
Persistent bastard…… He knew that even if he insisted he didn’t want to tell, he wouldn’t accept it. So he came up with a scheme.
“I’ll tell you when we go to school. Just hurry up and sleep.”
“Promise.”
Gye Sajun suddenly stretched his arm toward him with only his pinky finger extended. His mouth fell slightly open at the cute action that didn’t match his build. It should definitely be funny and gross, but in that moment, Gye Sajun looked absurdly innocent. Was it because of the darkness?
“Did you learn this from a drama too?”
“No, from hyung.”
“You must be close with your hyung.”
Gye Sajun as a younger brother. Come to think of it, he had mentioned something about three siblings. Gye Sajun’s appearance suddenly looked new to him. And he felt like he understood something. If he was the baby raised with overprotection, the ridiculous antics up until now made a bit more sense. It could be like that if he was raised oh-so-carefully. Woojae, who’d become quite generous, impulsively patted Gye Sajun’s head.
“Your nose will grow.”
And his wrist was grabbed. It happened in an instant.
“Wh-what?”
“Sleep here.”
The pulling force was unusual. It was strong enough to make his upper body bend without him realizing it.
“Let go of this. My wrist hurts.”
“Sleep on the bed.”
Stubborn as a mule. The strength loosened a bit when he said it hurt, and in that gap he tried pulling his arm too, but it wouldn’t budge, hurting his pride again.
“Do you want to sleep pressed against me?”
“That kind of question won’t really help.”
“Aren’t you crazy?”
The eyes shining in the darkness looked insane.
“If I let go of your hand right now, you’ll fall over. Stop resisting.”
“So just let go obediently, won’t you?”
“I won’t do anything. I’ll promise, so sleep here now. You worked hard today.”
Why did his words sound like comfort? Woojae eventually released the strength from the arm he’d been pulling.
“Then move over to the side. So I can lie down.”
When he tapped the firm forearm, he could see Gye Sajun smiling as if satisfied. This isn’t right. Even as he inadvertently lay down in the spot next to him, he couldn’t manage his expression due to the ticklish feeling. The hot body temperature felt right next to him was unfamiliar and strange. As Woojae had expected, the bed with two grown men lying on it didn’t feel spacious at all.
“You worked hard today. Sleep now.”
Hearing the voice from behind, drowsiness began to rush over him like a lie. He really was exhausted. Was it because he’d come home after a long time? Woojae thought blankly with a sleepy head.
‘Hey, Gye Sajun.’
‘What did you mean when you asked me to try kissing back then?’
‘Do you really see me as a friend?’
‘What changes if we kiss?’
These were questions that could never come out of his mouth.
Even as Woojae fell asleep as if fainting, Sajun stared intently at his back with gleaming eyes. What was he thinking so much about with that small head? He wanted to look inside that head. His cock had been swollen for a while from Woojae’s faintly spreading scent, so he wasn’t in a state where he could sleep. If he’d known the state of his cock, Go Woojae wouldn’t have been able to sleep so comfortably next to him either.
Sajun whispered while playing with Woojae’s hair.
“Happy birthday, Go Woojae. Sweet dreams.”
Even though his lower body felt like it would burst, in this moment he only thought he hoped Go Woojae would sleep well.
