Join the ServerThe thick pillar withdrew, the rugged veins raised along its surface scraping mercilessly against the inner walls.
The pillar that had been lodged inside him slammed back in again and again without pause.
Han-geon crushed down on his moan and, without realizing it, lifted his legs to wrap them tightly around Eun-gyeol’s waist.
Eun-gyeol’s damp, ominous breathing grew heavier.
“Ah!”
The scream torn from pleasure was quickly swallowed by Eun-gyeol’s kiss as his lips covered Han-geon’s.
Like an animal, he sucked greedily at Han-geon’s lips while pulling the pillar out and ramming it back in.
Saliva overflowed and smeared messily down Han-geon’s chin, but Eun-gyeol didn’t care as he tangled their tongues together.
Splat, slap— obscene, chaotic sounds burst out endlessly from below.
Each time he ground precisely against the thick, sensitive point buried deepest inside, Han-geon’s entire spine tingled violently.
Whenever Eun-gyeol drove in, Han-geon absorbed every bit of that impact directly into his body and collapsed, helpless.
Without blinking as he took in that sight, Eun-gyeol kept thrusting his hips relentlessly.
It was completely different from just moments ago, when he had overlapped with him gently and caressed him softly.
“I love you, Han-geon.
I’ll never… never, haah, let you go again.”
“Ah, Cha—Eun-gyeol, ngh, kh—just a little, sl-slower….”
“Yeah… I’ll go slowly.
Han-geon, I’ll do everything you tell me to do….”
Sweat trickled down his jaw and dripped onto Han-geon’s body.
Unlike Han-geon’s eyes, which were melting unfocused, Eun-gyeol didn’t blink even once.
Despite the words spilling from his mouth, his movements didn’t slow in the slightest.
“I love you so much… that I don’t know what to do, what I’m supposed to do.
So tell me… Han-geon.”
“Ng—pl-please, Cha Eun-gyeol, if you do that there, I’m going to—ah!”
“Tell me how to do it, Han-geon.
Stay by my side for the rest of my life and tell me.
I’ll do better from now on, haah, even more.
So please….”
The s*x that had been moving back and forth frantically suddenly stopped at the deepest, most intimate place.
The tip of the pillar, rooted as if planted there, began to swell rapidly in an instant.
“Hah—!”
A sharp moan burst out as Han-geon’s eyes flew open and his breath caught.
But before the swelling fear, what he registered first was the expression on Eun-gyeol’s face as he stared at him.
“So… don’t abandon me….”
“…Cha Eun-gyeol.”
“I’ll do better.
I’ll try harder so you never have to suffer or get hurt again….”
The look in his eyes, stripped of reason, wavered.
In an instant, the corners of his eyes flushed red.
Moisture welled up in the gaze that had always faced him straight on.
He looked like a lost child.
Seeing the anxiety floating across his face, Han-geon immediately understood the emotions that must have tormented Eun-gyeol for months.
“So… can’t you keep loving me like this from now on too, Han-geon?”
The s*x, now grotesquely swollen, filled his belly tight.
It felt as though a boulder had been shoved inside him and the entrance sealed shut.
It packed his inner walls so full it felt like they might burst apart, frighteningly so.
The pressure climbing up toward his throat was overwhelming, and Han-geon gasped hoarsely as he let out thin moans.
It was a sensation he had clearly experienced once before, now dominating his body with terrifying force.
His entire body tensed on its own.
At that moment, something hot dripped down onto his face.
“I’m sorry… I like you too much… that’s why I lost control, I’m sorry….”
“Cha—Eun-gyeol, I’m… fine, so calm down….”
“I’m sorry.
I couldn’t even control something like this and ended up hurting you, I’m sorry….”
Eun-gyeol shed tears without blinking.
His face, lips pressed tightly together, shone pale under the moonlight.
Glass-bead-like tears fell one after another as he murmured pitifully again and again.
That he was sorry.
That he would do better.
That he wouldn’t abandon him.
“…Stop.”
Han-geon cut him off and hooked an arm around his neck.
“Come here.
It’s okay, so kiss me.”
Even though the fullness stretching his belly was frightening, Han-geon didn’t hesitate as he pressed his lips to Eun-gyeol’s.
Eun-gyeol’s soft lips were burning hot and tasted of tears.
Closing his eyes, Han-geon wrapped his tongue around Eun-gyeol’s and sucked him in hard.
Just like Eun-gyeol had kissed him earlier.
He wanted to melt away all the fear Eun-gyeol must be feeling with his own body heat.
He wished Eun-gyeol would no longer be haunted by anxieties like ghosts from the past.
Just as happy as Eun-gyeol had made him today, he wanted Eun-gyeol to be happy because of him too.
Unlike the past, when they had been ignorant of their own hearts, the two of them now knew exactly how they felt.
That they loved only each other and wanted to stay together until death.
And taking one step further, Han-geon could now understand even Eun-gyeol’s heart.
What he once thought was difficult to read was now something from the distant past.
That was how transparent Eun-gyeol’s feelings toward him had become.
Straightforward.
Honest.
Han-geon knew that Eun-gyeol’s fear of being abandoned did not come from a lack of faith in Choi Han-geon as a person.
It was because he gave so much without reservation and still felt anxious that he couldn’t give more.
Because he had hurt Han-geon in the past, he was afraid of repeating the same mistake.
Because he understood Eun-gyeol’s heart, Han-geon could be firmly certain of one thing.
That nothing like the past would ever happen again.
And so he wasn’t afraid.
Not even a little.
“That won’t happen anymore.”
Pulling his lips away, Han-geon met Eun-gyeol’s eyes squarely and said it with conviction.
He put strength into his words so Eun-gyeol wouldn’t feel anxious anymore.
“We won’t break up anymore.
So relax… and.”
There was something he wanted to tell Eun-gyeol now that he had learned it himself.
He wanted Eun-gyeol to feel this certainty too and for their bond to become even stronger.
“I want you to look forward to our future instead of being afraid and anxious.”
“…Yeah.”
“All we have left now is happiness.
There’s nothing left to cry over or be hurt by.
Me and you.
We can be happy only in each other’s arms.
So.”
Han-geon slowly reached out and caressed Eun-gyeol’s cheek.
When he wiped at his tear-soaked face, Eun-gyeol leaned into him, panting like an exhausted puppy.
Even while holding Eun-gyeol’s s*x, swollen to an almost unbelievable size, Han-geon didn’t flinch and instead embraced him with all his heart.
“Trust me.
And trust your love.
As long as you do, we’ll never break up.”
“…Really.”
The way Eun-gyeol clung to him sounded so desperate it made even Han-geon’s heart ache.
“We’ll never… ever break up, right?”
Eun-gyeol grabbed Han-geon’s wrists with both hands and rubbed his face against Han-geon’s palms.
His eyelashes, soaked through with tears, fluttered down neatly.
Eun-gyeol’s trembling breaths pressed fully into his palms.
The voice he spoke with, as he entrusted his whole heart to the warmth Han-geon offered, was that earnest.
Unable to resist how unbearably lovable he looked, Han-geon hooked an arm around his neck again and pulled him in.
He kissed Eun-gyeol’s lips and whispered over and over.
That it wouldn’t happen.
That they would be together forever.
And then—
“…I love you.”
Han-geon’s low, quiet voice resonated honestly with unadorned weight.
“I love you too, Cha Eun-gyeol.”
Eun-gyeol’s eyes shimmered with joy as he looked back at him.
Watching those eyes ripple beautifully like gentle waves, Han-geon took a slow, deep breath to calm his overflowing heart.
He wanted to remember this feeling without losing even a single moment of it.
It was a confession he had wanted to make beyond words for over seventeen years, yet had never been able to say.
Han-geon was grateful that he could finally make this confession with nothing forced by circumstance or emotion, purely from his heart.
And after long patience, his confession bore fruit.
Instead of falling uselessly to the ground and shattering, it was planted in the soil he had longed for most, blooming into a beautiful flower.
“Thank you, Han-geon.
Really… thank you.”
Eun-gyeol’s uncharacteristically trembling voice echoed softly by his ear.
“The fact that someone as solid and amazing as you is my partner feels so good…
but sometimes that’s why I get anxious.
You’re too good for someone like me….”
“That’s not true.”
Han-geon hugged Eun-gyeol tightly, trying to soothe his still-shaken heart.
Each small movement reminded him of the unfamiliar fullness in his belly, but Han-geon steadied him calmly.
“…You’re the only one.”
He stroked Eun-gyeol’s hair as he spoke in a rough but sincere voice.
“The only person I love is you.
Before, and from now on.”
The rigid, solid chest finally softened.
Letting out a deep breath, Eun-gyeol at last relaxed and leaned fully into Han-geon.
Watching anxiety drain away and be replaced by trust and certainty, Han-geon smiled.
Yes.
Like this, we’ve taken another step forward.
“I love you.
I love you… my everything.”
Murmuring those words over and over, Eun-gyeol closed his eyes.
He hugged Han-geon’s head and rubbed his cheek against him.
Even though the short hair by his temple must have felt prickly, he kept kissing him and breathing him in for a long while.
“I’ll really do better.
From now on too.
So if I ever hurt you again like before….”
Eun-gyeol’s eyes trembled slightly.
He slowly stroked Han-geon’s hair and showered him with kisses.
On his forehead.
His cheek.
The bridge of his nose.
“You know I’m originally a selfish asshole with a bad personality.
So tell me then.
No—just slap me if you have to.
Tell me to get my head straight.
Okay?”
Han-geon smiled faintly.
“Yeah, I will.
I’ll hit you really hard the moment you upset me, so be prepared.
I won’t go easy on you.”
At those lighthearted words, Eun-gyeol’s serious expression finally relaxed.
A chuckle burst out, and their chests trembled together.
Thump, thump.
Along with the loud heartbeat that had been racing all this time, gentle ripples spread through him.
It felt unbearably good.
To be sharing the same feelings in the same moment.
“You’re heavy, you pig.
Get off me now.”
When Han-geon deliberately mimicked the way Eun-gyeol always teased him, Eun-gyeol burst out laughing.
That innocent, childlike laughter quickly spread to Han-geon too.
Because their bodies were still tightly joined, they carefully rolled onto their sides together.
“…When is this thing going to go down?”
At Han-geon’s grumbling voice, Eun-gyeol answered by kissing his eyelids instead.
Left.
Right.
At those careful kisses, Han-geon’s complaints melted away.
“I’m really sorry, Han-geon.
I like you too much… I couldn’t control myself.”
Hearing the apology spoken with his eyes lowered pitifully, Han-geon snorted softly.
He had been planning to scold him for knotting him without warning, but seeing him like this made it hard to stay angry any longer.
“It’s fine, but doing it inside… try to hold back as much as you can.”
“Yeah, I got it… I’ll be really careful.”
With the sweet pheromone scent growing thicker again, their lips met.
After pecking at him lightly several times, Eun-gyeol smiled sweetly, his eyes curving.
“I love you, my love….”
Wanting to engrave that honeyed voice into his mind forever, Han-geon closed his eyes.
He breathed in slowly and exhaled, drawing his alpha’s imprinted pheromones deep into his body.
Playfully catching the warm lips brushing against his, Han-geon lifted the corners of his mouth.
Even with his eyes closed, he could feel Eun-gyeol’s lips curve into a smile as well.
The private sounds of the two of them quietly filled the dark room.
The sound of skin brushing together.
Intimate pillow talk.
And damp kisses.
Letting all of it flow through his body, Han-geon laughed freely.
Then Eun-gyeol laughed too.
Han-geon reached out and carefully traced the smile that looked just like his own.
The familiar warmth spreading at his fingertips was so welcome it nearly brought tears to his eyes.
The first night in their sweet home together was, like that, unbearably sweet.
