NTH 111

The more they pressed their lips together, the more their tongues fiercely intertwined, the more his palm explored the flat chest, the faster Jin’s heart beat. When he found the nub and gently rubbed it, the honest body immediately responded. The desire to move his lips down and lick the nub clashed with the stubbornness of not wanting to untangle his tongue from Jin’s, and for a moment, Jeha’s head spun. Why do people only have one mouth? It would be nice if there was one on each hand.

“Eut, heung…”

Pressing his fingers together, he held down the right nipple and slowly rubbed it, causing Jin, who had his thighs tightly closed, to squirm. It was a behavior Jin showed when he was anxious from not being touched coolly all over, and Jeha’s chest tingled with excitement.

Regretfully releasing his tongue and moving down from the lips, Jeha planted a trail of kisses on the chin, the nape of the neck, and the collarbone. He then placed his tongue on Jin’s neglected left areola. With his wide, hot tongue, he circled the area around the nipple and sucked on it deliciously, causing Jin, who was staring blankly with his mouth open, to let out a ragged breath.

When he pointed his tongue and tapped the central nub as if in greeting, Jin’s body shivered. He whimsically rolled the pink, swollen, peach-colored nipple around this way and that while forcefully twisting the nub on the other side. Jin’s hips bucked greatly.

“At, haa…”

His chest on fire, Jeha sucked fiercely on Jin’s left breast. He wanted to be gentle, but his beast-like instincts kept trampling on his reason. As if it contained the water of life, he gathered the non-existent breast tissue and sucked on it, then moved his head to lick the right nipple and caress the left breast with his hand.

As the thoroughly slick chest was continuously stimulated, Jin’s already hard member twitched. With Jeha’s touch, Jin could reach climax from just his chest, but Jeha wouldn’t allow it. The reason was that after coming, Jin would quickly get tired and fall asleep. Jeha always stopped his touch at the most critical moment, leaving Jin tantalized.

“Heut, what, touch me more…”

As the hand caressing his nipple moved down to stroke his waist, Jin whined, pulling at Jeha’s hand. Already half out of his mind while licking Jin’s chest, Jeha was spurred on by his encouragement and moved his hand and tongue even more busily. Just as Jin, enduring the pleasure, finally began to buck his whole body, Jeha hooked his fingers on the waistband of Jin’s underwear and pulled it down.

The rigidly erect member quivered in the air. Having completely removed the underwear, Jeha bent down between Jin’s legs. As he took the cock into his mouth in one go, Jin flinched and twisted his body.

“Th-that way, I think I’ll come too fast…, aheut…”

The more Jin squirmed, the deeper his member was sucked into Jeha’s mouth. On the verge of his head exploding with excitement, Jeha licked his shaft stickily, as if melting a candy. He tasted it every day, but why did it feel like the taste was different every time? The only commonality was that it was ‘strangely sweet.’

“Heut, haeu…, Jeha…”

Jin reached out his arm and ruffled Jeha’s hair. Even the feeling of slender fingers running through his hair was electrifying. Jeha had to take a deep breath for a moment to suppress the surging impulse. Then, tightening his mouth and pressing the inner membrane snugly against Jin’s member without any gaps, Jeha slowly moved his head back and forth.

“Heu, ah! Ah… No…!”

The more Jin tried to pull back, the deeper his cock was driven into Jeha’s mouth. Jin’s hips bucked irresistibly, but Jeha did not stop.

“No, heut, come out now…”

As Jin’s member pulsed, Jeha suddenly pulled his mouth away and straightened his body.

Having lost the stimulation right on the verge of climax, Jin glared at Jeha with glazed-over eyes. Tearing off his t-shirt with an impatient hand, Jeha squeezed a large amount of gel onto Jin’s exposed perineum as if pouring it. As his fingers, now slippery and coated in the cold gel, rubbed the entrance to Jin’s hole, a startled Jin’s head dropped to the side.

“Wait, at, haa…”

A finger, about a knuckle longer than most people’s, dug into the sensitive spot. The soft inner walls clung to Jeha’s hand as if they had been waiting for this moment. Dizzied by the hot, mushy sensation, Jeha squeezed his eyes shut for a moment and then opened them. As he stirred inside, then pressed firmly as if to widen it, Jin’s breathing rapidly grew rough.

“One more is going in.”

He forcefully pushed in one more slick finger. He then slowly moved them in and out repeatedly while wrapping his hand around the hard shaft and gently shaking it. Jin’s face, contorted with pleasure, flushed red. Jeha’s own massive cock, frighteningly swollen, was already stone-hard and looked ready to burst through two layers of fabric.

“Heut, I can’t take it, I’m going to come, aat…”

Looking at Jin’s face as he felt pleasure, Jeha’s patience reached its limit. His hand moved with unchecked speed. At the touch that stabbed deep into his sensitive spots, Jin could no longer hold on and his body stiffened.

“Haeut…!”

Jeha was also at his limit. He hastily pulled down his pants and underwear and smeared the semen on his hand onto his own cock.

Casting off everything that had been on his body, he spread Jin’s legs and brought the tip of his member to the hole. Jin, who was still trembling and intoxicated with the feeling of orgasm, flinched.

“R-right away?”

“I’m putting it in.”

When he firmly pushed the shaft in, the hot inner walls swarmed around it like a living creature. Letting out a long breath in satisfaction that reached the top of his head, he put strength into his lower body and drove himself deeper into Jin. Having just climaxed, Jin’s insides were endlessly tender, and the cock that had ruthlessly invaded them twitched and swelled.

“Haa, this is too, heut, strange…”

Jin’s cheeks were tinged with red. Slowly lowering himself, Jeha overlapped their bodies and hugged Jin tightly, and Jin wrapped his legs around Jeha’s lower body as if to bind him. As if there was no room for even a wisp of wind between them, the two bodies, joined as one, were completely pressed together.

“I love you.”

Jeha whispered, kissing Jin’s earlobe.

No matter how many times he said it, it was endlessly insufficient to convey all of his desperately boiling heart. I love you like crazy, only you. My lover, who no one can ever replace. From the first moment I saw you, through a dozen lives until now, I, only you…

“I love you more.”

Jin replied, lightly biting Jeha’s shoulder. Yes, perhaps your love, which endured a thousand years of pain to save me, was more mature than mine at first. But.

“You’re wrong. I love you more.”

Even if the size of a heart cannot be seen with the eyes, he knew now. Jeha loved him more. Enough to decide to become a monster to save him, enough that he could grind his entire body and offer it up for him at a moment’s notice. Even if ugly emotions like jealousy and obsession were now mixed in and inseparable from love, and thus his love was not a clear, bright pink but completely stained with tattered, dark red blood.

It was also Jin who taught him that if you love someone too much, your heart aches to the point of death.

Even though he had his thing inside him and they were connected as one, his heart felt cold. He was anxious that the warm body he had barely managed to embrace might one day suddenly turn to dust and scatter into the air, as if waking from a dream.

As Jeha thought this and bit his lip without realizing it, Jin smiled faintly and fiddled with Jeha’s lips as if to tell him not to.

“Then for today, I’ll say Jeha’s love is just one centimeter bigger. Tomorrow, mine will be bigger. It’s a greedy thing, so it grows faster than a bamboo shoot.”

Jin joked. Seeing that he had regained his composure, it seemed Jin no longer felt a sense of crisis because Jeha was staying still. Placing his hands on the mattress, Jeha pushed his upper body up and looked down at Jin.

“The one inside you grows fast too.”

When he lightly thrust upward with a pop, a flustered Jin let out a short breath. The reason he still had those frightened eyes, even after they had held each other countless times, was probably because his body remembered that Jeha would never let this night end easily.

Jin’s eyes widened as Jeha put his hands under his thighs and lifted them. After looking lovingly at his partner, Jeha soon began to thrust his hips fiercely. Each time he slammed down, Jin’s body shook like a wave and he writhed. The hot inner walls clung fiercely to his cock, feeling as if they would be pulled out. Worried he might come too quickly by accident, Jeha furrowed his brow and held on tight to his senses.

“Ah, at, wait, eung…!”

Jin’s face flushed again. Seeing the outline of his own member protruding under the thin skin, Jeha put more strength into his hips and thrust fiercely. The pleasure was so intense it felt like not just his cock but his brain would melt. Something sizzled and boiled up from somewhere deep inside his stomach.

“Co-ming, coming again…, haa, eut…!”

Wrapping his hand around Jin’s member, which had become heavy and was bobbing again, Jeha shook it in time with his own thrusts. Unable to withstand the stimulation from both front and back, the moment Jin came, his inner walls tightened to an unbelievable degree, squeezing Jeha’s member. Even so, Jeha did not stop or slow the movements tormenting his rear. Tears rolled down Jin’s eyes from the agonizingly surging sexual pleasure.

“Heuk, you, you beast…”

The beast that had pounced on him kissed Jin. A typhoon-like kiss and out-of-control thrusts stole all of Jin’s breath, from top to bottom.

When Jin spurted a nearly transparent, thin fluid for the third time, Jeha finally stiffened his body and came long and hard, whispering once more.

“I love you. I love you.”

If Jeha’s love had been just one centimeter bigger today, his body would have crumbled into pieces, Jin muttered right before falling asleep.

The high school equivalency exam was scheduled for February of the following year.

Although his math was still lacking, Jin’s grades were well within the stable passing range, enough for the cutoff to be covered by his scores in other subjects. He studied at the academy only from morning to early afternoon and used the rest of his time freely. With Chief Jeong, who came to pick him up, he would sometimes stop by the food court of a department store or visit a famous knitting supply shop.

After Chief Jeong dropped him off at home and left, Jin would do his academy homework, cook dinner to eat with Jeha, and knit. After Jeha got off work, they would eat together and chatter about what had happened that day. Sometimes they would take a walk in the large garden within the apartment complex or go out to eat at a nice restaurant.

On days they occasionally took a bubble bath together, Jeha would wash him and dry his hair dressed as the ‘bathhouse mister in black underwear’ that Jin liked. Ninety percent of Jeha’s underwear was black, so he could show Jin that look whenever he wanted.

When it snowed, they would drink warm tea while looking at the scenery from the terrace, and on holidays, they would watch movies, order delivery food, and stick together until their bodies were worn out. When the two of them were together, time passed mercilessly fast. When it was suddenly Sunday evening, it felt absurd, as if time had flowed at double speed without them knowing.

The relationship between Tak Sihun and Jin continued on parallel lines. Since Jin did not interact privately with others at all, there was nothing for Chief Jeong to report. Jin did not participate in the trivial social media conversations of his equivalency exam academy classmates, nor did he become personally close with any of them.

Jin lived a monotonous life, going only between home and the academy, and now that there was no danger of being targeted by Cheon Sagang, he always went with either Chief Jeong or Jeha if he had to go somewhere. Jin, who had been neglected since he was young and had lived on the streets, considered the restraints of his guardian and lover, Jeha, to be purely love and felt no resistance. This was truly fortunate for Jeha.

November arrived. In mid-December, Jeha was scheduled to finish his second semester and begin a long vacation. Because he had offered a summer session course during the summer, he could rest during the upcoming winter break.

Jeha received a request to present a short paper at an international English studies conference at the end of the year. The venue was his alma mater, Oxford University in the UK. Jeha remembered that Jin, after watching an episode of a program called <Let’s Go, Global Village Exploration> about Oxford City, had said he wanted to go there.

At that time, Jin had been held by Cheon Sagang for over a week and had barely escaped. Soaked in the rain, he was crumpled inside a public phone booth at Haengseong Station when Jeha had found and brought him back with difficulty. Back when he was still Nana, he didn’t have a passport, let alone a resident registration card, so Jin had thought Jeha’s suggestion to go to Oxford together someday was a distant, impossible dream.

So when Jeha suggested they go to the Oxford conference together and then travel around the UK for a fortnight, Jin just blinked his eyes blankly for a long time, as if he couldn’t believe it. At the cute reaction, Jeha couldn’t hold back his overwhelming feelings and sucked on Jin’s cheek for a good while.

And without delay, Jeha booked the flights, accommodations, and a rental car, and had Jin’s passport issued. Since the conference was on December 23rd, they decided to go to Oxford first and then spend Christmas in London. In his spare time, Jin would read a UK travel guide and fold down the corners of pages with places he wanted to visit.

While they were living like this, Jeha’s work at the university became busy, and he unavoidably had to work late for a while.

Jin tried not to be sad and stayed quiet, but the incident that made Jeha pant with his tie loosened happened during this period.
