Ch 38

<38th Episode>

 

One week before that day (3)

 

Eunho’s cheeks flushed a peach color as he shyly voiced the words he had been hesitant to utter. Yoonjae’s eyes filled with joy as he eagerly desired Eunho.

 

As their lips met and their saliva mingled, all senses sharpened. Yoonjae devoured and sucked on Eunho’s lips and tongue roughly, as if desperate for more contact.

 

Eunho, straddling Yoonjae’s thigh, removed his gown and rubbed his already erect member against his own lower body. Yoonjae snapped back to his senses when he felt the stimulation from below. He had avoided deep skinship after the imprinting. He feared a repeat of the past, seeing Eunho endure his beastly advances without a word of pain.

 

Yoonjae thought he could control his sexual desires, but it was useless in front of Eunho. Instinct always trumped reason. The words of love had been the fuse that lit the fire, but he was cautious, afraid of hurting Eunho again.

 

Eunho had quietly endured his surging lust alone since the imprinting. On the day Eunho collapsed from exhaustion, Yoonjae, alarmed by his slow recovery, recalled that day whenever his desire rose and restrained himself. Eunho understood Yoonjae’s actions and let it pass, but he had been cautiously restrained ever since, which was a bit frustrating.

 

Eunho deliberately provoked Yoonjae. He assured him that he was fine now, not to worry, and made him increasingly aroused. Eunho quickly pulled down his pants and drawers, licking Yoonjae’s neck as if asking him to release his pheromones. At that welcoming gesture, Yoonjae unleashed the pheromones he had been holding back without hesitation. The refreshing and invigorating scent of wood sage filled the house in an instant, as if taking a forest bath.

 

His lower body reacted to the pheromones, becoming wet. Eunho raised his knees, leaned Yoonjae’s head against the sofa, and aggressively entwined their lips. He rubbed his member against Yoonjae’s muscular abdomen and reached down to grasp Yoonjae’s penis. He could clearly feel the pulse of the bulging veins in his palm.

 

“Hiss.”

 

Eunho, holding his hardened member and aligning it with his entrance, slowly lowered his raised knees. As he lowered his body as if sitting down, the foreign sensation filling his insides pierced through his entire body.

 

Yoonjae threw his head back, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and clenched his jaw at the sudden rush of pleasure. The tendons in his neck stood out in a bluish hue.

 

As Eunho’s spread thighs trembled, Yoonjae massaged his thighs with his large hands and cupped his round buttocks. The soft and tender sensation pressed into his palms.

 

“Why do you keep surprising me like this?”

 

“It’s better than wanting it and holding back.”

 

As the member inside him grew in volume, Eunho involuntarily flinched and slowly swayed his body back and forth. The sticky sound emanating from the tightly sealed junction heightened the excitement even further.

 

When Yoonjae raised his body and thrust deeper, it tingled as if touching his spinal nerves. Each time he stimulated every spot, Eunho’s hot breaths were mixed with moans.

 

Even his exhaled breaths were so sweet that his mind melted away. Rational thought had long vanished, and only instinct remained, shaking his body like a beast. Although the fluids flowing from their junction prevented pain, the pleasure teetered precariously on the edge of pain, rampaging wildly.

 

It was Eunho who was ordering and leading the situation as if driving it forward. His member churned inside him like a wriggling fish, causing his toes to curl and tingle. Eunho barely managed to exhale and inhale, continuing to move his body.

 

“Eunho.”

 

“Heuh.”

 

“Eunho… haa.”

 

Yoonjae constantly stimulated Eunho with a voice filled with excitement. Eunho wrapped his arms around his neck and shook his body desperately. Filled with the sensation of climax, they licked each other’s faces obsessively, panting. The explicit sound of flesh colliding wetly echoed loudly.

 

Ugh. With a short, low moan, Eunho’s back arched like a bow. Yoonjae held Eunho so he wouldn’t collapse backward, allowing him to rest his face on his shoulder and embracing him with his large hands.

 

“I love you, Eunho.”

 

Yoonjae patted Eunho, whose body was flushed red from the intense exercise. Their hearts pounded as if about to burst between their touching chests. Eunho reaffirmed that the person holding him was Yoonjae and closed his eyes, leaning on his shoulder. Sleepiness swept over him.

 

D-1 day. 

 

Since he had notified Chief Yoon a week in advance, there were no problems at the company, but Yoonjae had a big task on his hands: explaining to Eunho why he was working from home for three days.

 

The excuse of being sick was reasonable, but he was too healthy, so he needed to act a little. When Yoonjae lied that he was receiving treatment for stress-induced vertigo and was advised to work from home for three days, Eunho, who had come early in the morning, sat in the living room and compiled Yoonjae’s work to make it easier to review.

 

“Are you very dizzy?”

 

“…Yeah, a little.”

 

He had never taken a break for any reason other than a rut, so he needed to act convincingly. He pretended to sit down to review the report and deliberately staggered, and Eunho, with eyes wide with surprise like a rabbit, grabbed Yoonjae and slowly sat him on the sofa.

 

“Wouldn’t it be better to just rest? If you lie down, I’ll organize it and bring it to you.”

 

“It’s not that bad.”

 

Did he stagger too much? Seeing Eunho’s eyes trembling, he felt embarrassed. Yoonjae gave Eunho, who was looking at him with a worried expression, an awkward smile and turned his eyes to the report. He felt like he would confess if he kept looking at him.

 

He went into the study for two hours each in the morning and afternoon for video conferences, working at the same intensity as going to work, and he felt a cool energy like dark clouds gathering behind him. Yoonjae, knowing the identity of that energy, couldn’t bring himself to turn around and focused on the meeting.

 

It’s not easy for anyone to deceive. Was it just his imagination that the sound of Eunho’s keyboard, who was writing the minutes behind him, was getting louder? Just as he was about to get up from his seat after the meeting, Eunho’s arm urgently grabbed Yoonjae. He was worried that he might stagger and fall, so he grabbed him and wouldn’t let go.

 

“I’m okay.”

 

“No, I’m not okay. It’s all over now, so let’s go to the room.”

 

If he said no again, it felt like a downpour would come instead of dark clouds, so Yoonjae obediently followed. But he was being taken to the bedroom, not the living room. He stopped walking and thought about it, and Eunho clearly said to go to the room.

 

“Are you telling me… to sleep at this hour?”

 

“I won’t force you to sleep. But, I want you to lie down.”

 

He tried to persuade him, but he was persuaded instead. Eunho abruptly laid him down on the bed. Yoonjae was embarrassed by this situation and turned his head to the window. It wasn’t early evening, but the sun was shining brightly in the middle of the day.

 

“I… no… okay, I understand.”

 

Yoonjae hesitated, about to say why are you doing this, it’s nothing, but he trailed off. There were still two days left, and there was no need to provoke him. He felt restless lying down as a patient, but if it meant that Eunho was okay, he was willing to do this for a month, not just three days.

 

Eunho, sighing heavily, seemed frustrated that things weren’t going his way. Yoonjae followed Eunho’s movements with his eyes and quickly spoke as he saw him trying to leave the room.

 

“Are you going out?”

 

“I have to finish writing the minutes and upload them. I also have to send them to the Retail Marketing Division.”

 

Eunho nodded, turning around. He hadn’t finished organizing the minutes after rushing out of the study earlier, and there were emails from other divisions that he needed to check.

 

Yoonjae urgently grabbed Eunho, who was about to leave him alone.

 

“Do it next to me.”

 

“……”

 

“You told me to lie down. I’m bored when I’m alone.”

 

Since when did Yoonjae’s way of speaking, which used to mix polite and informal language, disappear and become completely informal, and he became more spoiled. His grumbling in a low voice that scratched his throat was funny and cute, and he kept wanting to laugh.

 

Eunho pointed to the study with his finger, suppressing his laughter.

 

“I’ll bring it.”

 

Eunho left the room in a hurry, leaving the words that he would be back soon and not to move.

 

Yoonjae, looking up at the ceiling, opened his mouth, folding his eyes at the unintentional yawn. Was it because his head was touching the pillow that he was sleepy? Tears welled up in his eyes from the yawn.

 

Eunho carefully entered the room, watching Yoonjae’s expression. He carefully placed the laptop on the mini table and lifted the chair to sit down, trying to reduce the noise.

 

“It’s okay if it makes noise, don’t worry about it, it doesn’t matter.”

 

Yoonjae pretended not to be sleepy, but he kept yawning. Was the air stuffy? The air purifier’s sensor was blue, so it wasn’t bad.

 

“Who’s going to notice? Go to sleep if you’re sleepy.”

 

Yoonjae’s eyelids were moving slowly, as if he would fall asleep soon regardless of the noise. He tilted his head towards Eunho with a languid expression.

 

“Did you sprinkle some sleeping powder while I wasn’t looking? Why am I so sleepy when I’m looking at you?”

 

“It’s because you’re using your head a lot.”

 

There was no strength in his half-closed eyes. Yoonjae, smiling and covering his mouth with his hand, was falling asleep.

 

Eunho felt strangely proud watching Yoonjae fall asleep. He always showed a neat and flawless appearance in front of others, but in front of him, he would act spoiled and fall asleep first if he was tired. Eunho was grateful that Yoonjae felt comfortable with him.

 

He sent the organized minutes to all the recipients and referrers, and compiled the data from the Passive Management Team by item and sent it to Yoonjae by email. The budget approval from the Global Real Estate Team had been uploaded, but it was difficult to wake Yoonjae, who had just fallen asleep, so he set an alarm for three hours later. He intended to give them a word that it would be processed today.

 

‘If it’s hard, please tell me.’

 

Eunho felt bad that he was always only receiving help from him and not taking care of him. Especially when he saw him sleeping so helplessly, he felt guilty, as if he had a heavy burden on his chest. Eunho slightly lifted the chair to pull it back so that it wouldn’t make a noise and quietly got up from his seat.

 

‘…Give me more of what you can throw at me. Don’t struggle alone.’

 

Eunho sat down under the bed, rested his arms on the mattress, and hung his head. His long, neat fingers were right in front of him, but he quietly watched, afraid that he would wake him up if he touched him.

 

Adding Hyukpil Sunbae’s words and Yoonjae’s words after the imprinting, a big storm would soon hit because of the Yoosung Group’s affairs, and he felt sorry and pitiful that he was trying not to pass the weight on to him, who was his closest aide. How should he help this person? Eunho had been thinking about ways to help Yoonjae whenever he had time these days.

 

Yoonjae, who woke up in the early evening, checked Eunho, whose crown of his head was barely visible in front of him, and his sleepiness disappeared. Even though the bed was large and there was plenty of room, he was confused as to why Eunho was sitting on the floor with only his head resting on it.

 

As Yoonjae got up, Eunho raised his head at the sound of movement. One cheek had a red handprint on it.

 

“You could have slept next to me, why are you sleeping like this?”

 

“I dozed off.”

 

Eunho, with a dazed expression, roughly ruffled his pressed bangs with his hand and tried to get up from his seat, but he grabbed his waist and stopped moving for a moment. Ugh, his muscles cramped from sitting cross-legged on the hard floor for two hours. He slowly turned his body and slowly stretched his legs, but his face was distorted by the cramped muscles.

 

Yoonjae immediately noticed his condition from Eunho’s unnatural behavior and immediately went down to the floor and slowly massaged Eunho’s thighs to his calves. It must have been so painful that tears would have welled up just by touching it, as if it was paralyzed, but Eunho didn’t complain of pain or even groan.

 

“Did you do that on purpose to make me worry?”

 

“No, ha…….”

 

When he twisted his words slightly mischievously, Eunho furrowed his brows as if he was wronged.

 

‘It’s embarrassing and shameful to say that I was thinking about all sorts of things while watching you sleep and dozed off.’

 

Yoonjae, who was laughing silently, sighed and carefully stretched his calves and massaged them again.

 

“I’m kidding. How’s your waist?”

 

“It’s okay.”

 

“It’s okay? Isn’t it stiff?”

 

“I just need to loosen my calves, ah!”

 

Yoonjae pressed his thumb on Eunho’s ankle ligaments, soles of his feet, and even his toes. It was so painful that he couldn’t even speak. It was so painful that tears welled up, and he involuntarily grabbed Yoonjae’s arm. Eunho expressed with his whole body that he shouldn’t do it, clenching his teeth, but Yoonjae didn’t seem to want to let go of his ankle.

 

“I’m sorry, but it has to be like this to loosen it.”

 

“……”

 

“You’re kind of like a kid.”

 

He expressed that he was like a child because he was trying to avoid the painful area, but Eunho’s expression darkened rapidly. Yoonjae quickly explained the meaning of his words when he realized that his cute words had brought about a bad result.

 

“I said you were like a kid because you were trying to avoid the painful area. Did I… perhaps make a mistake?”

 

“No, it’s not that.”

 

Eunho, grabbing Yoonjae’s arm again, couldn’t make eye contact with him and lowered his head.

 

“……I’m sorry….”

 

It wasn’t just that he was sorry for this situation. It was a condensed emotional language about not being able to help every time. He wanted to help him, but he couldn’t, except for adjusting the process so that he could handle company work more efficiently. It was because he had neither the ability nor the background to do so.

 

Yoonjae read Eunho’s eyes but pretended not to know. He was sorry to Eunho, but he didn’t want to involve him in troublesome matters.

 

“I’m the one who’s sorry. It’s because I fell asleep.”

 

Yoonjae, pretending not to know the real reason why Eunho was sorry, checked his legs, which were completely loosened without any lumps, and put his arms around his armpits.

 

“Okay, shall we get up slowly?”

 

Yoonjae hugged Eunho and lifted him up. With a cracking sound, his spine, which had been pressed down, stretched out and tingled. His hip bones ached because he had been sitting in a hard place for a long time, and Yoonjae’s hand pressed between his back and hips as if acupressure.

 

“It must hurt here too.”

 

Ugh. Yoonjae’s intention was good, but when two healthy adults stuck their lower bodies together after waking up from a nap, the touching area swelled up rapidly enough to reveal the silhouette. Every time his hard pillar of flesh rubbed against his flat lower abdomen, a strange moan involuntarily escaped from Eunho’s mouth.

 

“Heuh.”

 

Eunho, embarrassed enough to turn his ears red, stretched out his arms and slowly widened the gap between them. He didn’t want to be caught in an embarrassing state because the housekeeper, who hadn’t left work yet, was still there.

 

“……It’s embarrassing, I think you can stop touching me.”

 

Yoonjae’s ears were in the same situation. The two of them shrugged their shoulders, giggling in embarrassment, and eventually burst into laughter, holding their stomachs.

 

In fact, the back massage was Yoonjae’s shallow trick. He deliberately stuck his body close and engaged in lewd behavior to liven up the depressed atmosphere, and Eunho followed along as he intended. Thanks to this, Eunho, who had escaped from his previous depressed mood, snapped his fingers with his thumb and middle finger as if he had thought of something while laughing with tears in his eyes.

 

“Ah, the budget approval for the second half of the year has been uploaded from the Global Real Estate Team.”

 

“Thank you. I’ll check it right away.”

 

Yoonjae, who was stroking Eunho’s small head that fit in one hand, opened the door and went into the study. Eunho, who was turning his waist and calves from side to side and doing light stretches, smiled lightly, satisfied that all the cramped muscles had been loosened, and took his laptop and went to the living room.
