Vol 5 Ch 2

It was time to come out.

 

Lee Wooyeon sipped his coffee and gazed at the school gate. Inseop’s school life was monotonous. Attend classes, do assignments, take exams. Even his social circle was sparse.

 

Sometimes, he would come straight home after school, but when a group chat was created, Lee Wooyeon would conveniently slip him out of it pretending it was a mistake. After repeating this a few times, no one bothered to contact him anymore. Moreover, after taking a leave of absence and spending time in the United States, he no longer knew anyone at school. It was a satisfactory school life.

 

However, not long ago, Inseop hesitantly approached him, fidgeting like a nervous puppy, and finally opened his mouth.

 

“Um, Wooyeon.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“We have a group project.”

 

Lee Wooyeon closed the book he was reading. Inseop earnestly explained the details and roles of the assignment he was in charge of. Lee Wooyeon nodded silently.

 

“I made a group chat for the project.”

 

“Go ahead.”

 

As Lee Wooyeon brazenly replied, Inseop seemed to have made up his mind and continued.

 

“…Please don’t delete it.”

 

Lee Wooyeon hugged Inseop’s waist and said, “Huh?” as if he didn’t understand.

 

“Don’t delete the group chat. It’s a really important assignment… mmh.” Inseop swallowed his breath as he suddenly lost balance. Lee Wooyeon pulled him closer and laid him on the sofa.

 

“Do you see me as someone who would do such a thing?”

 

“Well, that’s…”

 

Lee Wooyeon, who had already committed such acts several times, lightly nibbled on Inseop’s small lips as if to silence him. As he sucked on them a few times and nibbled on his earlobe, Inseop’s face turned crimson. “Lee Wooyeon,” he protested.

 

Why is he so damn pretty, f**k.

 

Lee Wooyeon suppressed a laugh and lightly kissed Inseop’s cheek.

 

“No. I won’t do it. I won’t do such a thing.”

 

His lips brushed against his cheek, moving down to his ear.

 

Let me do something else instead.

 

In the end, he held onto Inseop, who suggested they move to the bed instead of staying on the sofa, and continued until the end. Of course, it’s not like he didn’t heed Inseop’s request to move to the bed. After that, they spent the night together in bed.

 

Lee Wooyeon chuckled softly as he drank his coffee. He has been doing that more often lately. Thinking of Inseop made him laugh foolishly like this.

 

Damn, he must be completely insane.

 

Lee Wooyeon checked the time and leaned back against the steering wheel again.

 

That damn group project finally ended. Today was the day of the presentation. The problem was the after-party. They had decided to gather for drinks after class, having become quite friendly during the project. Inseop said he would attend if he had the chance. Yesterday, he had asked him about today’s schedule. Knowing the conversation in the group chat ahead of time, Lee Wooyeon casually replied that he might be late today because he had something to do.

Inseop also needed some privacy and human connections from time to time. It would be okay to let him occasionally go out and have drinks with other people.

 

After going to the office and having a pointless conversation with CEO Kim, Lee Wooyeon planned to go home alone for dinner. As long as Inseop didn’t show noticeable favoritism.

 

‘Will you be very late?’

 

Inseop’s cheeks were flushed as he asked.

 

This damn brat.

 

Lee Wooyeon chuckled as he took a sip of his coffee, pulling his lips into a smirk. In the distance, he saw Inseop coming. Among the group of people coming down the stairs, Inseop looked the youngest.

 

[Oppa, since you look so young, make sure to bring your ID when going to the bar.]

 

[I thought you were a freshman at first lol]

 

[That’s why I initially spoke informally to you haha]

 

From the conversation in the chat room, it seemed that everyone referred to Inseop as “hyung” or “oppa,” indicating that he was the eldest. When checking Inseop’s jacket pocket for his ID as he left in the morning, his stomach twisted even more.

 

Lee Wooyeon called Inseop.

 

Just try and ignore it, f**k.

 

Inseop, after checking his phone screen, asked his companions for permission and walked to the side of the road to answer the call.

 

<Hello?>

 

“Where are you?”

 

<I was just coming out after class. And you, Wooyeon?>

 

“The work ended earlier than expected. Shall we go out for dinner together after a long time?”

 

<Really?>

 

Inseop’s confusion could be felt strongly over the phone.

 

“A friend opened a restaurant, and it’s quite nice. Since I received some wine as a gift today, how about having a drink with you, Inseop?”

 

<Uh, well… I…>

 

“Why? Is something wrong?”

 

<..No, nothing. Where should we go?>

 

Inseop asked with a voice that seemed to have died of exhaustion. It was fortunate that he didn’t have a conscience. Even after hearing that voice, Lee Wooyeon didn’t feel any remorse.

 

“I’ll be where I always park my car.”

 

<Yes. I’ll come right away.>

 

Inseop hung up and ran to his companions. Whether he explained that he couldn’t make it today or not, his companions held onto Inseop’s arm, expressing their disappointment. Inseop smiled and apologized to each one.

 

Lee Wooyeon narrowed his eyes and smirked.

 

Damn, he really didn’t want to see him like this.

 

Not long after, Inseop crossed the street and ran to where he parked the car. The door opened. As Inseop got into the car, a familiar sweet scent reached his nose. Warmth filled the black, large eyes that looked at him.

 

“Have you been waiting long? Sorry, I had to greet someone quickly before coming…”

 

Lee Wooyeon grabbed Inseop and kissed him on the lips.

 

“Ah…!”

 

Startled, Inseop squirmed, but Lee Wooyeon didn’t stop kissing him.

 

“Peo-people… outside…”

 

Lee Wooyeon reached out and fogged up the passenger seat window. He always paid attention to the parking spot to ensure they couldn’t be seen from outside.

 

“They can’t see… They can’t see, so open your mouth.”

 

Lee Wooyeon whispered, urging Inseop, who hesitated at first but then parted his lips. Their lips met, tongues intertwining softly, mixing saliva. After a few moments of sucking like that, Inseop started gasping for breath like a puppy.

 

“…Haa…”

 

As their lips separated, Inseop exhaled deeply. His cheeks and face flushed, looking both tender and seductive.

 

“Getting used to it, huh?”

 

“…What?”

 

“The kiss.”

 

Lee Wooyeon lightly kissed next to Inseop’s lips and spoke.

 

“You still can’t breathe properly?”

 

“It’s just… the kiss is too deep, so whenever I try to breathe, your tongue gets in the way, and I don’t know what’s what… I’m sorry.”

 

Inseop ended up apologizing, and Lee Wooyeon burst into laughter.

 

“Hahaha.”

 

Inseop looked at him blankly as he chuckled.

 

“Damn, this is driving me crazy.”

 

Lee Wooyeon said, brushing his lips with a smile full of laughter.

 

“Can’t I lock you up just once?”

 

“Me? Why?”

 

Inseop’s eyes widened in surprise.

 

Lee Wooyeon kissed Inseop’s cheek and said, “Because you’re cute.”

 

Inseop blinked in confusion, “What? Why?”

 

Lee Wooyeon replied, “Don’t be like that,” and then stopped. For some reason, he had a strong feeling that if he asked to lock him up just once, it wouldn’t end forever.

 

“I won’t lock you up. Don’t worry.”

 

Lee Wooyeon said as he got up.

 

“Korea is too small to lock you up anywhere.” His words continued as if in jest, making Inseop gulp quietly. Lee Wooyeon lightly tapped Inseop’s cheek with his hand.

 

“…You’re done early today.”

 

Inseop said, rubbing his cheek.

 

“Yeah. I had something to do nearby, and it ended earlier than I thought.”

 

“Good thing you finished early.”

 

Lee Wooyeon silently watched Inseop say so. Unlike him, his eyes were sincere and honest.

 

“Weren’t you supposed to have plans?”

 

Lee Wooyeon asked, and Inseop’s face showed confusion.

 

“Oh, yes. After the presentation today, I was planning to have dinner with the others…”

 

“Not just for drinking, right?”

 

When Lee Wooyeon showed Inseop’s ID from his pocket, Inseop’s face turned beet red.

 

“I-I was planning to have a drink, but not just for drinking. They said we could have a meal there too…”

 

Lee Wooyeon looked at Inseop with his arms crossed, staring blankly.

 

“I didn’t intentionally deceive you. I wasn’t planning to drink, really. I just said we could have dinner there just in case… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.”

 

“Fine. Why do something you’ll feel guilty about?”

 

Inseop’s eyebrows turned red. If left as it is, he seemed like he would burst into tears. Seriously.

 

Lee Wooyeon took a deep breath and turned his head. That’s when Inseop grabbed Lee Wooyeon’s clothes and kissed him on the cheek. It would be more accurate to say he quickly pressed his lips against him and then pulled away.

 

“…”

With a surprised expression, Lee Wooyeon placed his hand on his cheek and looked at Inseop. Inseop was timid and fearful. He was cautious about holding hands outside and even more careful about going on dates, fearing someone might find out about them.

 

“Don’t be mad… I was wrong.”

 

Inseop apologized again, grabbing the hem of Lee Wooyeon’s clothes. Sometimes, when Inseop gathered up his courage and approached him like this, his head would feel dizzy. He often wondered if his life could be considered complete enough to ruin Inseop’s.

 

“…Are you really angry?”

 

As Lee Wooyeon didn’t respond, Inseop asked. When Lee Wooyeon replied, “No,” Inseop’s large eyes shook with confusion.

 

“I’m sorry…”

 

Inseop’s apology was cut off. It was a much more intense kiss than before. Lee Wooyeon parted Inseop’s small lips and slipped his tongue inside. Heat rose before his eyes. It felt similar to when he pushed his dick into Inseop’s narrow opening.

 

“Huh… sto…p…”

 

Mumbled words emerged between their pressed lips. He could feel Inseop’s trembling body under him, barely resisting. His slender body, which seemed like it could easily collapse with a little force, was fully aroused.

 

Lee Wooyeon unbuckled the seatbelt and leaned into Inseop, adding his weight. Inseop pushed him away several times, but Lee Wooyeon didn’t stop kissing. No, he couldn’t stop. It felt too good. The blush on his white cheeks, sparkling large eyes, and soft hair that filled his hand… Everything was so beautiful and wonderful that he couldn’t think straight.

 

It was just a kiss. It was a simple act of opening lips, touching tongues, and mixing breaths. Yet, it was so fervent that it made his head spin. The joke he  made toCEO  Kim earlier wasn’t entirely false. Kissing Inseop felt similar to intercourse. No, sometimes it felt even more fulfilling than that. Often, when he regained his senses, several hours had passed.

 

“…Haa…”

 

As their lips parted, Inseop breathed out, his face flushed. Lee Wooyeon tidied up Inseop’s messy hair and asked.

 

“Do you want to go for a drink?”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Isn’t this why you’re begging so nicely?” Lee Wooyeon kissed Inseop’s cheek.

 

“No, it’s not. I’m not doing this for that…”

 

“If you want to drink, you can go.”

 

At this point, there was no remorse for something that hadn’t happened yet. He just wanted to do anything for him. Watching fools fall in love and act like fools for their lovers, he used to wonder if they had lost their minds. But he wasn’t much different. Just because Inseop pressed his lips against his cheek, why did it make him feel so damn good?

 

“It’s okay. I don’t have to go.”

 

“Why? You like that kind of thing, don’t you?”

 

Inseop blushed slightly at Lee Wooyeon’s words and then murmured softly, “I… I do want to try. When I was in the States, I couldn’t try it.”

 

Inseop’s school life, as heard briefly, was miserable. He was often sick and absent from school, and there was no one to talk to even when he went to school.

 

The only friend he had ended up committing suicide, so what happened to him afterward was easy to guess and lingered in his mind.

 

“But that’s not the thing I want to do the most.”

 

“…”

 

“I want to have dinner with you, Wooyeon.” Inseop smiled bashfully as their eyes met.

 

Damn it. Cancel what he said earlier. Choi Inseop had thoroughly messed him up. Whenever that guy smiled at him, he felt like he was being turned into a fool.

 

As Lee Wooyeon sighed heavily, Inseop blinked his eyes nervously.

 

“Inseop.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“I’m not just going to have dinner with you, so think carefully and choose.”

 

Lee Wooyeon leaned against the steering wheel as he spoke. Blood rushed to Inseop’s white face, making his freckles stand out.

 

“I, I…”

 

Inseop fiddled with his clothes, unsure of what to do. Blood rushed down below. In the back seat, there was a bottle of wine worth hundreds of thousands of won to share with Inseop. If things didn’t go well, he would throw away the wine and resort to rough s*x from behind.

 

A phone rang from Inseop’s pocket.

 

“Uh…”

 

Inseop was flustered as he took out his phone. Lee Wooyeon asked who it was.

 

“It’s my mom. Why did she call at this hour?” It was early morning in the States. Lee Wooyeon gestured for him to answer quickly.

 

Inseop sought permission and started the call. Lee Wooyeon leaned back in the driver’s seat. Whether he knew it or not, Inseop’s voice tended to sound playful when talking to his family. Sometimes, it was annoyingly cute, even when he pretended to read a book next to Inseop while he was on the phone.

 

Inseop asked about his mother’s well-being in a soft voice. His calm voice began to tremble shortly after.

 

[Yes?]

 

Inseop’s face turned pale. Lee Wooyeon straightened up. A calm voice came from the other end of the phone. Inseop’s fingertips began to tremble.

 

[…Yes. Okay… Yes. I’ll see you then.]

 

The call, which was expected to be long, ended abruptly. Tears welled up in Inseop’s large eyes.

 

“Uh, my grandma…”

 

He didn’t need to hear the next words. Lee Wooyeon wordlessly hugged Inseop.
