Chapter 68: A Secret Relationship Between Them

He pushed forward, then paused to rest, then pushed again.

As he carefully moved all the way in, Ju-an’s grip on the sheets gradually loosened.

He asked if he was all right and slowly increased his pace, and when he lightly brushed against a certain spot, Ju-an’s moans began to change.

“Here.”

Once Baek Eun-hoo figured it out, he relentlessly focused on that spot.

Ju-an, seemingly unable to endure it any longer, clawed at Baek Eun-hoo’s back until it was a mess.

It didn’t even tickle, so it didn’t interfere with his movements.

“Th-that’s enough…”

“Do you really want me to stop?”

When he stopped moving and asked, there was no answer.

Ju-an had turned his head slightly to the side, and his neck was flushed bright red.

Baek Eun-hoo buried his lips against his neck and sucked hard, leaving behind a conspicuous mark.

The sight of it made the heat surge through him all over again.

“Answer me. Do you really want me to stop?”

A barely audible voice answered.

“No… Just keep going.”

Perhaps he had finally given up, because Baek Eun-hoo could feel the tension leaving his body.

He slowly moved again, pressing kisses all over Ju-an’s face.

Ju-an’s head arched back as far as it could go.

With one hand against his neck, Baek Eun-hoo gradually increased his pace.

“Ahhh!”

Seong Ju-an tensed his entire body and clutched his shoulders tightly.

Even though it was only a dream, every sensation coursing through his body was unbearably vivid.

‘Am I going to die like this?’

He tried to push Baek Eun-hoo’s shoulders away with his feet while shoving against the sheets, but suddenly Baek Eun-hoo began moving so forcefully that the entire bed shook.

“Haaah!”

His thoughts could go no further.

Where reason had been, only pleasure remained.

His vision went completely black, then brightened again, over and over.

By the time he came back to himself, Ju-an was clinging to Baek Eun-hoo’s neck and crying.

He was dazed, yet everything hurt so badly, and at the same time the strange pleasure just kept going.

Under the pressure weighing down his body, the lips that occasionally came to him felt like salvation.

Had he become this bold because it was a dream?

He forgot that Baek Eun-hoo was a man.

He even forgot that he was taking a role in this encounter with another man that he had never once imagined for himself.

He simply clung to the act itself.

Baek Eun-hoo ran his tongue slowly along his cheek before whispering in a low voice.

“Ha… Just as I thought.”

After saying something Ju-an couldn’t understand, Baek Eun-hoo began moving even faster.

His rough breathing heated Ju-an’s entire body.

Ju-an moaned almost as though he were crying and begged him to stop, but Baek Eun-hoo showed him no mercy.

“It’s okay. It’s okay, so… ha, relax a little!”

Was it enough that he was the only one who was okay?

Instead of losing strength, Ju-an’s body instinctively tensed even more.

When he grabbed the sheets again and tightened his grip, Baek Eun-hoo frowned and panted.

“Ha… f*ck.”

Grinding out the curse, he moved with violent intensity, only burying himself deeply when Ju-an was on the verge of collapse.

“…!”

Ju-an couldn’t even make a sound because his throat had closed up.

His entire body trembled, and his mind grew hazy.

Baek Eun-hoo stopped moving and breathed heavily.

“f*ck.”

He muttered the curse under his breath and raised his upper body.

The change in position brought a new sensation, drawing a short cry from Ju-an.

“Ah!”

“No matter how drunk you were, I didn’t think it would be this bad…”

Baek Eun-hoo muttered something incomprehensible, then seemed to regain his senses and slowed his pace again.

The more delicate stimulation was even more intense than when he moved roughly and quickly, concentrating every sensation in a single place.

“R-rather…”

Ju-an begged without even knowing what he was asking for.

In response, Baek Eun-hoo lowered his upper body again and began moving rapidly.

Seong Ju-an, so overwhelmed by the pleasure that he forgot even to breathe, dug his nails into Baek Eun-hoo’s back.

“Ahhh!”

The sensation of falling from a cliff and floating weightlessly in water continued.

Only after a long while did his body finally relax.

Just when he managed to escape the sensation of dying and coming back to life, a hoarse voice pierced his ears.

“Don’t cover your face.”

Baek Eun-hoo pulled away the arm covering Ju-an’s face, gently brushed beneath his eyes, and kissed his forehead.

‘What a long dream.’

Ju-an was thinking that when Baek Eun-hoo’s lips touched his cheek before pulling away.

He wanted to tell him to leave him alone now, but no voice came out.

With no other choice, he surrendered himself to Baek Eun-hoo’s hands and closed his eyes.

His consciousness gradually grew hazier.

****

When Ju-an opened his eyes to the sunlight filtering through the curtains, Baek Eun-hoo was asleep right beside him.

It made sense that he would be lying there after drinking together and immediately passing out, yet something about it felt strange.

Blinking away the remnants of sleep, Ju-an unconsciously looked around the bed.

The clothes he and Baek Eun-hoo had been wearing were tangled together on the floor.

No way…

A sudden wave of anxiety rising inside him, Ju-an lifted the blanket to check.

When he realized that his worst suspicion was true, he couldn’t move for a long time.

That hadn’t been a dream?

It had really happened?

The moment the truth finally sank in, his entire body throbbed as though he had been beaten all over.

With Baek Eun-hoo sleeping right beside him, himself lying there, and his own body so sore that he could barely move, there was no way he could deny what had happened.

“Ha… f*ck.”

Ju-an decided that, first of all, he had to accept the disaster that had taken place last night.

Then, in an attempt to calm himself down, he took a deep breath.

‘Stay calm for now.’

Baek Eun-hoo must have been pretty drunk too, so maybe he won’t remember.

Ju-an watched Baek Eun-hoo carefully, then found himself staring blankly at his face.

His eyebrows and eyelashes were dark and thick, while his tightly closed lips were red and sharply defined.

He looked strong and stubborn, yet there was something strangely prim about him too.

He’s ridiculously pretty for no reason.

‘Ha… How was I supposed to resist when he looked like that? This all happened because you’re too damn pretty, so don’t feel too wronged about it.’

Swallowing the words in his head, Ju-an cautiously lifted the blanket to get rid of the evidence.

That was when Baek Eun-hoo opened his eyes.

“Eek.”

His heart began pounding like crazy, as though he had been caught committing a crime.

“Seong Ju-an.”

“Uh… Yes?”

“What were you doing by yourself?”

His hand mussed Ju-an’s hair before sliding down to stroke his back and gently pulling him closer by the waist.

He acted so naturally, as though this sort of situation were completely familiar to him.

“What were you doing that made you so startled?”

“No, I mean… Mr. Baek Eun-hoo! I think we drank quite a lot last night. Haha.”

Even Ju-an knew his reaction sounded awkward, but it was the only thing he could think of.

He couldn’t exactly ask, Did we really do that last night?

And he couldn’t claim that nothing had happened when the evidence surrounding them was far too blatant.

“Yeah. We drank a lot, kissed, and did more than that too.”

“…”

“Why do you look like you swallowed a bug?”

“…”

“You were the one who jumped me first.”

Seong Ju-an was speechless, as though someone had just struck him squarely in the head.

At Baek Eun-hoo’s shameless attempt to place all the blame on him, he finally opened his mouth in disbelief.

“I was the one who started it? That’s a little different from what I remember.”

“That memory of yours is hazy and broken in places, isn’t it?”

Ju-an had been far too flustered to carefully piece together his memories, but it was true that they were blurry.

Besides, he couldn’t tell where the dream had ended and reality had begun, making it difficult to come up with any excuse.

“If you hadn’t touched me first, I wouldn’t have had any reason to touch you.”

“…I suppose that’s true.”

“So let’s just pretend it never—”

“Yes!”

Ju-an hurriedly answered before Baek Eun-hoo could even finish.

Despite being the one who had suggested it first, something about Ju-an’s eagerness seemed to bother Baek Eun-hoo, and his expression twisted.

“You sound like you’ve been waiting for me to say that.”

“Didn’t you want to pretend it never happened too, Mr. Baek Eun-hoo? This was just an accident. My buff is strange, so physical contact came naturally, and… well, we were drunk and curious. Hahaha.”

As Ju-an laughed awkwardly, Baek Eun-hoo’s eyes grew dark as he looked over his face.

Because the buff was strange.

Because physical contact came naturally.

Because they were drunk and curious…

He had gotten up first and closed his eyes to see what Ju-an was doing, so apparently, while Ju-an had been doing all that, he had been trying to figure out the situation and looking for a way out.

And now, the first thing he saw after opening his eyes was the coldness of the person with whom he had spent such a heated night.

For some reason, it left a bitter taste in his mouth.

‘What is this feeling?’

Possessiveness toward a highly capable buffer?

A competitive instinct toward someone everyone else wanted?

Or maybe…

Baek Eun-hoo slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again.

For one brief moment, the sensation he had experienced the previous night enveloped his body.

Desire stirred deep inside him once more.

“…Seong Ju-an.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t want to pretend it never happened. What should I do?”

“…What?”

“Yes. Right now, I feel like holding a press conference and announcing it to the entire country.”

Seong Ju-an’s face went white, then practically blue.

Baek Eun-hoo had no actual intention of spreading the news, but seeing Ju-an’s expression made him feel irritated again.

Seong Ju-an opened and closed his mouth as though he had something to say, then stammered.

“M-Mr. Baek Eun-hoo. Let’s calm down first, okay? There must be a reason you feel that way.”

“Who knows? I’m not really sure myself.”

“Then, uh, I mean… If you want to keep this a secret, what do I have to do for you? You like making deals, don’t you, Mr. Baek Eun-hoo?”

Baek Eun-hoo’s brow furrowed deeply.

He already knew that Seong Ju-an thought of him as some lunatic who had sold his soul to ambition.

But making a deal over what had happened in bed?

It made him feel like absolute shit.

“A deal, huh… So what you want is to keep last night a secret. Then if I simply tell you what I want, does that mean we have a deal?”

Seong Ju-an nodded.

“Fine, then. Keep doing it from now on.”

“Doing what?”

“What do you think? Let’s keep having a secret relationship. Just the two of us, without anyone knowing.”

“…”

Baek Eun-hoo smiled, the corners of his lips lifting as though he had finally found an answer that satisfied him.

It was an utterly sinister smile.
