Vol. 1 Chapter 30

It was a peaceful weekend morning if it was calm, and an intense weekend morning if it was hectic. After getting ready to leave, I packed my bag and left the room.? I took Dae-han’s strawberry fan from the floor and waved it around as if it were flapping.? Today, I decided to meet Lim Dae-han later than usual. I was able to prepare quite comfortably. I was in good shape because I slept a lot.

I carefully took out my phone. There was no contact from Jung Ji-pil. I was convinced he was still in his sleep. For me, it was like going to the library in my neighborhood, but Jung Ji-pil was Jung Ji-pil. He slept a lot. No matter how excited he was to receive the introduction he had hoped for, his enthusiasm was not so great that he chose to abandon a good night’s sleep and arrived at the library early in the morning.

I turned instead of going straight to the front door after putting back my phone. I approached my mother, who was sitting on the sofa, sipping coffee and watching a travel entertainment program rerun.

“Mom…”

“Yeah, son. What is it?”

On TV, comedians who fell into the water made a scene. Every time they exhaled, fogs appeared, and given that they were wearing a thick padded jumper, the background in the TV had to be winter. My mother became engrossed with it, and despite my calls, her gaze remained fixed on the television. “Um…” I said as I sat on the edge of the sofa, dragging my voice.

“Mom, can I borrow your credit card?”

Then my mother turned her head toward me. She looked worried.

“Why, Young-hyun-ah, are you short of pocket money?”

In fact, I tend to get a lot more pocket money than my peers. That was because I’ve been saving up little by little. I don’t go to the kiosk very often, and at most, I sometimes buy something for dinner with my friends to go play in a downtown area. As I had never asked for pocket money, it was natural for my mother to be worried.

I responded by waving my hand in denial.

“No…I don’t. That’s because my friend bought me a meal every day. Uh, I’d like to buy for him as well, but I only have cash…”

I frequently missed out on paying because of Lim Dae-han, who used his card instead of cash every day. Even if it was the bosses, part-timers would prefer to pay with a credit card rather than the cumbersome cash.

I was wondering if my mother could understand what I was saying as I spoke. To be honest, my mother probably had no idea what I was talking about. My mother tilted her head as soon as I finished talking. Then, without saying anything, she reached out for something on the table. She took a card from her purple leather wallet and held it out to me.

“Did our Young-hyun get chubby cheeks because his friend bought him a meal every day?”

I hardened at her words as she gently caressed my cheek.

“Did I gain weight?”

I asked while tapping both my cheeks alternately. Did I put on weight? My clothes were still the same size. My mom smiled lightly.

“No, Young-hyun is skinny, so you have to eat well. Take my card and buy your friend something delicious.”

“Ah, yes…”

It bothered me a little, but I got up from my seat for now. It was because Lim Dae-han was waiting on the first floor.? I moved my shoulders up and down, gathered my belongings, and made my way to the front door.

“I’ll be back soon.”

I put on my shoes while saying it. I could have a peaceful day simply by leaving the house. My older brother, who lives in the room right next to the front door, unfortunately, came out while scratching his stomach. He observed me from head to toe.

“Are you really going to the library?”

“Yeah, why?”

I answered a little foolishly because I was nervous. My older brother frowned and waved his hand.

“Nothing. Go your way.”

He then went to the restroom as soon as he finished speaking. I hurried out of the house after a brief glance at my brother’s back. As I crossed the hallway and waited for the elevator, I poked my head out of the railing. Lim Dae-han was on the first floor, waiting for me.

Anyway, it was a peaceful weekend and I was able to leave the house without any problems. Perhaps it was. The day before, Jung Ji-pil said, ‘What time are you going to come to the library?’, ‘The guys said they would be there all day’, ‘If you tell me when you are going, I will go after three hours.’ He said blah blah blah, but in the end, he didn’t contact me. Of course, I sent it straight out saying I wasn’t going either.

“Hehe…”

I constantly touched my hair while going down the elevator. I also let out laughter that sounded like a pervert. I got off on the first floor and went out. Lim Dae-han, who was barely standing there with his hands in his pockets and a sleepy expression on his face, raised his head.

“Hi.”

Dae-han’s eyes were clouded with drowsiness. His voice was quieter than usual, and he said hi quietly. Unlike a few moments ago, he appeared to be smiling with only the corners of his lips raised. Lim Dae-han tilted his head when he couldn’t raise his head with his chin pulled.

“…Hi.”

I smiled and pretended to be shy as I greeted him. Lim Dae-han nodded and quickly turned away. I grabbed Lim Dae-han’s arm just as he was about to walk straight to his house. His gaze was drawn to me, as he was taken aback. In secret, I rubbed his forearms slightly. Carefully to not let him know.

“…”

“…”

Of course, I thought it would be, but Lim Dae-han’s gaze, which had been fixed on me, shifted to my hand. I gave him an awkward smile and removed my hand from his forearm. I raised my head to him and made a suggestion.

“Can’t we stop somewhere by for a second?”

“Okay.”

There was a reason why I asked to meet later than usual. It’s just in time for a supermarket to open at 10 o’clock. Lim Dae-han immediately raised his head, without even asking or wondering where I was going.? Don’t people usually ask? When I remained motionless, staring up at Lim Dae-han, he turned his gaze again and asked.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s just a short walk from my house. It’s a secret.”

“…Pavilion?”

He asked me with a face of half anticipation and half caution. The pavilion he talked about was naturally where we kissed. I couldn’t believe he wanted to kiss in the morning. He smiled bitterly at the unexpected reaction. Lim Dae-han sullenly turned his head, licking his lips again. “It’s so hot.”

Just like that, he grumbled about the weather.

***

We went to a supermarket about a ten-minute walk from my apartment. There weren’t many people because it was early in the morning. Naturally, I drew out the cart. Lim Dae-han walked alongside me.

“Shall I pull the cart?”

“No. I like doing this.”

The dish I’m going to make today is pasta. I was busy watching YouTube last night while studying. I eventually decided to purchase a commercial sauce. This was due to the fact that even if I purchased the ingredients, it was unlikely that I would be able to cook them. And I doubt Lim Dae-han would eat them in the first place.

I put things in the cart and walked alongside Lim Dae-han. It felt like we were living together for some reason, and I was also thrilled because I rarely go shopping with my friends. I only gave him a sidelong glance. I turned around, wondering if he was thinking the same way I was, but he yawned. I’m glad I had my hand over my mouth. My impression was immediately crumpled, but I remained unchanged. It seemed impossible to grasp the atmosphere simply by looking at it. Instead, I simply walked away without saying anything.

“Aren’t you studying today?”

Lim Dae-han asked me when he didn’t study either. I did it until 2 am yesterday! I spent half of them watching YouTube. My stomach was boiling, but I answered back calmly.

“I’m going to go shopping and study at home. I’m here to buy ingredients to cook.”

“Did you just say you are going to cook?”

.

“Yeah. Can’t I do it at your home?”

Lim Dae-han immediately nodded as he smiled with his eyes. There wasn’t much there that made me think I shouldn’t have dragged the cart. Pasta noodles, sauce, olive oil, a few onions, and a few snacks and drinks to eat at home. While paying, I naturally took out my card and put out my card instead of Lim Dae-han’s.

“Please pay with this.”

Lim Dae-han packed his card in front of the checkout counter without saying anything. I felt like an adult somehow. Accepted receipt with a card. I was going to put the things I bought in a plastic bag, but Dae-han had already taken the plastic bag by himself.

“Isn’t it heavy?”

“Not really.”

Then I looked down at my wrist. I hurriedly crossed both hands and held my wrists because it was thinner than Lim Dae-han and had a much thinner frame. I couldn’t help but compare, so I walked out with my wrists hidden.

Dae-han naturally went out to the roadside and stopped a taxi. We got into a taxi and he recited his home address. The inside of the car was much cooler than the outside.

“You didn’t have breakfast, did you?”

“Yeah.”

“Should we have breakfast and lunch? If you’re hungry in the evening, you can go out and eat.”

Lim Dae-han stared at me silently. Determined to cook for him, I curled up my lips and nodded once. Lim Dae-han had a strange expression on his face when he looked at me.

Despite the heat, I didn’t sweat much when we got off the taxi and went straight up because the elevator arrived quickly. And Lim Dae-han’s house was cool enough. The air conditioner seemed to have been turned on before he left the house. I felt strange because of the small consideration. Lim Dae-han stood there for a while after putting down the shopping bags. I stood on my tiptoes, facing Lim Dae-han. Kiss. Our lips met and parted.

“You can rest in your room. I’ll call you after I’m done cooking.”

Lim Dae-han frowned while being happy for no reason. And the cooking went much faster than I had expected. I used frying pans and pots that I didn’t know were available in this house. After well-stirring onions in olive oil, then pour the sauce along with the boiled noodles and stir-fry it. It was a mouth-watering cream pasta. I used exactly half of the noodles. To be honest, the amount was enormous because it was for four people, but Lim Dae-han was a big eater, so he’d eat a lot.

At that time, Lim Dae-han suddenly appeared from behind. Surprised by the sudden appearance, I straightened my shoulders and twisted my body. Lim Dae-han reached for a plate and two chopsticks on the shelf. It’s not that it doesn’t exist, but it doesn’t appear to have been used. He took them without hesitation and washed the dishes, as well as the pot used to boil the noodles, the cutting board, and the knife.

After washing the dishes, he took 1.5 liters of water out of the pack and passed two bowls and chopsticks to me. When I looked at him, I assumed he wanted me to bring it, and he grabbed the frying pan with the finished pasta. Comparing two bowls with four servings of pasta and a 1.5-liter water plastic bottle, the two bowls were much lighter. That’s right. He motioned with his head to sit down while holding what he had in his hands.

Part 2

Lim Dae-han used his workbook as a pad. He didn’t hesitate even the slightest. We sat facing each other. I couldn’t wait to eat it, so my mouth was watering. The amount was so big that it was lumpy like a rice cake, but it looked delicious nonetheless. I held chopsticks and posed as if I were going to eat them up right away. But I couldn’t put it in.

“Wait a minute.”

It was because of Lim Dae-han’s voice. I clenched my chopsticks and looked up at Lim Dae-han.

“Hmm.”

A sigh came out of Dae-han’s closed lips. What’s wrong with him? Does he hate pasta? Or was he trying to say something about why I did so much?

Lim Dae-han reached to his back and took his cell phone out of his back pocket. The cell phone was not that small, but it was in Lim Dae-han’s hands. Lim Dae-han, who wouldn’t let me eat anything, sat still with his cell phone raised. Just let me eat it if he was busy! I took turns looking at Dae-han and pasta with resentful eyes. Lim Dae-han’s cell phone, which had been standing upright vertically, had been angled down.

“What are you doing?”

I asked Lim Dae-han, who was holding a cell phone with both hands. Lim Dae-han cast a glance at me before returning to his phone.

“… Photo.”

His pronunciation was mumbled. He was, in fact, embarrassed. For a long time, he couldn’t make eye contact with me. Meanwhile, the determination to take a photograph was admirable. There was only silence, but then there was a click from Dae-han’s phone. The noise arose. Lim Dae-han tapped his chin, looked at the screen, and raised his cell phone again.

Click!

He scratched the back of his neck and checked his phone again.

“Can I eat now?”

Lim Dae-han, who was looking at his phone at the time, nodded once when I asked. Then he scooped in a bite that could be scooped up three times with chopsticks by others. I tried to fill my stomach as I watched the noodles sucked into Lim Dae-han’s lips. But by the third time I filled the bowl, I had completely collapsed, and the rest was Lim Dae- han’s.

Lim Dae-han studied laid out on the floor while I studied on the desk. A groan could be heard from behind. The sound of the paper turning was irritating. I also cursed in between. He shook his knee as if he was constantly unsettled, and the sound of hitting the table leg could be heard.

My nerves were all focused on the back. To be honest, 80% of the reason I came to Lim Dae-han’s house was to play with him, so I had no intention of studying in particular. That’s also why I stayed up until 2 a.m. studying yesterday. I swung the chair around by grabbing the edge of the desk. From above, I cast a glance at Lim Dae-han. Lim Dae-han, who was solving the problem by clutching his short hair as if about to rip it off, slammed the mechanical pencil down hard.

In the meantime, his knees were constantly shaking. Dae-han’s trembling could have been caused by withdrawal symptoms. Although I was not smoking, I was well aware of how anxious withdrawal felt when I was given smoking cessation education at school.

To be honest, I haven’t seen him smoke or smell cigarettes since the day we first kissed until our lips swelled. I was certain he wanted to smoke. Lim Dae-han sighed deeply as soon as I finished thinking.

“Aren’t you done?”

“I just need to grade it.”

“Grading?”

“Yeah.”

Lim Dae-han’s knee, which was shaking as fast as dancing, stopped there. I looked around for the answer sheet, but it was nowhere to be found. Still, his desolate expression darkened even more, and I looked for his answer sheet from my side. “Are you solving Korean geography now?”

“Yeah.”

“Is this right?”

When I lifted it up and showed it to him, Lim Dae-han nodded. As I watched Lim Dae-han reach out to me, I got out of my chair. I took a seat next to him. Lim Dae-han, who had been half-bent, straightened his back.

“Would you like me to do the grading for you?”

“It’s fine.”

“Are you embarrassed?”

“…”

“Give it to me.” Lim Dae-han snatched the answer sheet from my grasp. It was taken away easily because I couldn’t fight back. Lim Dae-han was facing me sideways, so I couldn’t see him. He quickly checked the answer and began to grade while lying down halfway. I felt he was half right and half wrong based on his hand movement and sound. It was a major development rather than the first.

At that moment, Lim Dae-han’s ears came into my sight. Without being able to say anything specific about it, it was a plain and pretty shape. His ears were pretty. I reached for Dae-han’s earlobe while thinking about it.

Twitch. Lim Dae-han flinched and rose from his seat. Then, as if taken aback by himself, he moved away from the table a little. He just stared at me, expressionless. To be honest, his dramatic behavior surprised me as well.

“…”

“What are you doing?”

“Your ears are pretty…”

Lim Dae-han took a deep breath and moved the table as it was. He pushed away the table that was in front of him at a distance. Lim Dae-han’s legs were mischievously stretched out. Two long and strong legs made their presence known. Lim Dae-han patted his thigh. The words that followed were unbelievable.

“You can come up and touch me more.”

“Do you want me to get it on?”

Lim Dae-han nodded in response to my question. The fact that the guy who should have had his ears flushed red looked calm made me feel strange. Lim Dae-han was difficult. If I knew anything about him, he would have abruptly changed course and acted his own way.

I’m a little embarrassed… After thinking about it for a moment, I climbed onto his thigh. Lim Dae-han and I locked our gazes. I carefully raised my hand and fiddled with Lim Dae-han’s ears. The earlobe was soft, but as it went on the pinna, there was no flesh and it was a little hard. I rubbed his soft bones. When I kneaded it with my hands, it wrinkled like clay. Lim Dae-han frowned as if my hand was tickling him. His hand touched my hip.

Lim Dae-han rubbed my ass hard and pulled me into a hug. I didn’t have anywhere else to go, so I just stayed in my position. I felt something increasing in volume between my thighs, but I ignored it for the time being and continued to fiddle with his ears.

To be honest, I didn’t expect this kind of atmosphere. Our gazes locked for a split second. I tilted my head and closed my eyes. Our lips were entwined. We playfully kissed and licked each other’s lips. Lim Dae-han lightly bit my lower lip before releasing it and moving away.

“Dae-han.”

“Yeah.”

“Yours is hard again…?”

Lim Dae-han closed his eyes for a moment before slowly opening them. He took a deep breath and grabbed the hem of my t-shirt, pulling it off without hesitation. In an instant, my top was taken off and my upper body was exposed in front of him, so I only blinked.

“It’s pink.”

“Ah…”

Lim Dae-han raised his index finger and tapped my nipples playfully. His nails were firm, and I could feel my nipples being squashed. My forearms were covered in goosebumps. It was also itchy.

“Oh, it tickles.”

I twisted my body. Lim Dae-han tilted his head once more and kissed me. My body trembled under the intense sensation. Lim Dae-han constantly kissed me and played with my nipples with his own hands.

“Hmm, uh…”

After exhaling deeply, I twisted my head and moved away from Lim Dae-han. Lim Dae-han, who had extended his head to pursue me, had returned to his original position. I put my hand on Lim Dae-han’s chest.

“Do you want me to touch you too?”

I slowly lowered my hand from his chest. The permission was not granted, but the touch came first. I unbuckled his pants and pushed my hand into his underwear. I took out his penis that looked healthy. Although we only kissed, the tip of Lim Dae-han’s penis was already wet. I rubbed my finger across the pouring liquid as if it were a lubricant.

“Haaa…”

Lim Dae-han exhaled softly. He quickly moved his head and buried his face in the nape of my neck. I could feel his hot breath. His moist tongue touched my skin, and the sharp cross section of his teeth scratched it.

Gulp. I swallowed my saliva while holding Lim Dae-han’s penis like a joystick and rubbed it. My hands busily moving up and down, I grabbed his ear sometimes or just the penis and rubbed it in the palm of my hand. At the same time, I secretly rubbed my lower body on Lim Dae-han’s thigh.

“Ki Young, haaa, hyun…”

“Yeah.”

Lim Dae-han’s voice could be heard from my neck. My heart was pounding.

“Take it out.”

Lim Dae-han was fiddling with the loop on my belt. I got up from my seat and nodded. Then I stripped down my pants and underwear, then returned to my original position. When I suddenly became naked, I felt embarrassed.

I looked at Lim Dae-han hesitantly, and he pulled my neck and kissed me. Wet tongues rubbed up against one another. Lim Dae-han’s hands rubbed every part of my body.

I sucked his tongue and grabbed both his and my penis at the same time. I shook my waist and rubbed mine against his as I grabbed the two that were too tight to hold with both hands.

“Ahh, haa… haa…”

Even if I exhaled painfully, Lim Dae-han cut it short. He kissed me as if about to suck all of my salivae. While he was teasing me, he raised his tongue and tickled the roof of my mouth, and I made a lewd sound.

Lim Dae-han’s hands, which had been tickling my backside, touched my buttocks. He grabbed both of my butt cheeks and spread them apart after messaging them. A place that should not be exposed to air has been exposed. Goosebumps swelled up, and I parted my lips from Lim Dae-han’s.

“Too… Ugh!… Don’t spread it too wide.”

“Ah.”

He meant not to do it, but a low sigh leaked from Dae-han’s mouth. He soon said, “Wait a minute,” and took me out of his arms. The bottom, which was about to ejaculate, calmed down a little. Lim Dae-han stood up from his seat and spoke to me as I looked up at him.

“Wait for me on the bed.”

I climbed onto the bed. I gathered my thighs and swallowed my saliva. Lim Dae-han, who had left the room, walked farther away. I want to masturbate. There was a lot of energy underneath and I could barely hold it in.

Lim Dae-han soon returned, carrying a thick package the size of his penis. I knew exactly what it was. It was love gel. My thoughts became muddled.

What was this doing here…?
