DI Ch 38

My heart felt so light when there was nothing to be afraid of. It’s nice to admit it. It felt good to admit it, and I couldn’t help but smile as I said it. Since we were going to be driving for over two hours, I thought it would be a good idea to get something to eat. It would be hard to drive on an empty stomach.

Tae Seong-je, who was somehow speechless got out of the driver’s seat and rubbed my face with his rough hands. He smiled broadly at me. I’d been worried and restless, worrying about things, but now that I wasn’t, even the cold wind felt like a spring breeze.

“Come here.”

Tae Seong-je suddenly put his hands inside my clothes. I flinched, expecting his hands to be cold, but they were as warm as they always were. It felt like he was using a hand warmer. I didn’t expect him to suddenly put his hands inside my clothes, so I squirmed around while clutching his shoulder.

“What convenience store. I said we had to go back quickly.”

Either way, Tae Seong-je made me lean against his car and was busy kissing me, biting my neck, and rubbing my side. It was natural for my body to heat up since he did that. His strong thighs dug into the space between my legs and pressed hard. I tried to look up, but my attention was drawn to the hard thighs rubbing against my unexpectedly stimulated penis.

“Wait, hyung, if you do this here…”

No…

I opened my mouth in desperation, but the words failed to come out of my throat and lingered on my tongue.  I clenched my teeth and suppressed an embarrassed groan. His wet tongue licked and bit the nape of my neck, making me tremble. He sucked briefly and intensely as if to make a statement, then rubbed his lips in several places. I was embarrassed to hear the lewd sound in my ear. It was early in the morning, so it was fortunate that no one was around.

He quickly smeared sticky kisses all over my body, saying he had to leave soon and wondering if I thought he’d be forgiven if he was late. I wished he’d stop torturing my cheeks and private parts. It had been rubbed and kneaded so much that I didn’t think I’d be able to handle it anymore.

Tae Seong-je wrapped his arm around my waist from behind, wrapping my back, arms, and waistband in warmth. It was warm enough to withstand the cold morning breeze. I had to adjust my coat to hide my loose and disheveled clothes when I finally escaped Tae Seong-je’s prison-like embrace. Despite my scattered thoughts and attempts to catch my breath, Tae Seong-je seemed to be in a good mood.

I stood on tiptoe and closed my eyes as Tae Seong-je lowered his head. It was a long kiss. I couldn’t seem to get used to the sensation of my tongue mixing, no matter how much time passed. The hot tongue that stirred my mouth went deep as if marking territory, stimulating even the most sensitive areas. As my saliva accumulated and the saliva I couldn’t swallow flowed down my chin, he pressed his lips against mine, lightly bit my chin, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and kissed me deeply one last time before parting.

“Will you be okay?”

Tae Seong-je gestured toward the convenience store where a part-timer was working alone. His voice was somehow intimidating, but I didn’t feel it because of my own lack of focus. The tingling and wet lips, the tender tongue that had been trampled to the full, and the tickling of his chest and waist, which still felt like they were under his touch. In addition, the pressure from his thighs that was pleasantly pressing against my penis…

Oh, what did he say? Is it okay if I go in? Of course. Why not, I nodded my head in a daze and said,

“Yes… Because I asked to go…”

Tae Seong-je strengthened his arms as I staggered. Oh my God, I’m going crazy. I would have floated up into the sky like this if Tae Seong-je hadn’t tightly gripped my waist. It felt too good, like being buried in clouds and cotton candy. There was no headache or dizziness, and everything was as smooth as breathing. I hated this body, but when I was with Tae Seong-jae, I felt like I was on drugs.

“Welcome… ”

When the part-time worker, who was playing a noisy phone game with a chubby face, froze and opened his mouth, I realized how scary it was to be fearless. Sometimes I lose my sense of reality and become fearless, but this was different. Two men clinging to each other confidently entered a convenience store even when no one was around. If it were my usual self, I would have noticed right away that Tae Seong-je’s words were about whether it would be okay to go into this state.

It’s partly my fault for being preoccupied with the idea of dating, but it’s also partly his fault. to some extent. He was so confident that I also forgot. No matter what, this was South Korea. Let’s not forget that people are scary, I reminded myself, but then foul language could be heard from above my head.

“Have you watched enough? You bastard, you’re staring too much.”

Why is this person bothering the part-timer who was still working.

I raised my head in surprise, then paused to admire the line of his jaw, which didn’t deform in defeat in the least. 

“Seong-je hyung.”

Although I was late by half a beat, I raised my hand to stop him and lightly tapped his chin. Tae Seong-je, who had been scowling at the innocent part-timer, then looked down at me with an annoyed expression.

“You didn’t do anything, but you’re getting prettier every time; what else can I do?”

Tae Seong-je murmured and turned his body to block my view, but at that moment I saw the part-timer’s distorted face as if he had heard something I couldn’t hear. Either that or not, Tae Seong-je narrowed his eyes with a serious face.

“You’re still young, but you’re already showing off your attractiveness.”

“… What?”

“Fucking assholes, they’re not going to get away with it, how dare they.”

Is he serious? I wondered if I misheard, but I held back from telling him to stop talking nonsense because of his serious expression. I don’t know what kind of men were groveling to me. Although Seo Seung-won looks fairly decent in my eyes, he wasn’t someone who would make men go crazy for him. 

To be honest, Tae Seong-je was also a bit unusual. Tae Seong-jae was the only person who thought a man with Seo Seung-won’s physique was pretty or cute. Anyway, as someone who enjoys humor, Tae Seong-je’s words were kinda hilarious.

“Oh, yeah. What do you want to eat?”

I replied in a low voice and looked around. I didn’t really want to eat anything, but I wanted to fill my stomach. He kissed me on the cheek and moved forward. I felt a little uncomfortable walking around in his arms, but he wouldn’t let go, so I had no choice.

“Ah, hyung. Shall we have a hot bar too?”

“The car will stink.”

“I want to eat this… It’s cold outside, so let’s just eat something. Oh, hyung. Here’s that candy.”

“You want candy? Buy it.”

“No. This is your favorite. Do you want it?”

I grabbed a bag of candy labeled Mint Lime Flavor and shook it lightly, making a rustling sound. I raised my head, but Tae Seong-je pressed my head with his chin.

“Why do you think I like that? I just eat it instead of smoking.”

He ate well though. Actually, I’m not sure if he likes the candy because he likes the mint flavor or because he likes citrus. I don’t think he’s going to tell me. I guess time will tell.

The corners of my mouth twitched as I realized how cute it was that he was pretending to be something he wasn’t when he’d always been honest with me. As I walked away from him, I picked up some Xylitol to keep me occupied while we drove. I looked around for something else to buy, but I couldn’t think of anything he might like.

Of course, there was a lot I didn’t know about him, and I know it’s not a good idea to delve too deeply, but… I was curious I wanted to know more about him than I thought, to the point where I was impatient. Suddenly, I heard a humming sound.

Tae Seong-je was singing?

Actually, it was more like humming, but it was still amazing. I couldn’t figure out why he seemed so happy. I walked slowly so as not to disturb the mood. I expected him to sing because his voice was low and nice, but when I listened to it, it was better than I expected, and my heart skipped a beat. I don’t listen to music, so I had no idea what the song was. But I wanted this moment to last as long as possible.

Suddenly, Tae Seong-je stopped walking and took out mineral water and a lotus root burdock tea from the beverage refrigerator. Lotus root? Burdock? I was curious about what Tae Seong-je likes, but I was bewildered that I knew one thing so quickly.

However, I had the impression that Tae Seong-jae would dislike this. I wanted to know how I knew that, but the thought that I would definitely not like it clashed with my curiosity. What. My brow furrowed unconsciously at the strangeness.

“Hyung, do you like burdock tea?”

“No. I don’t drink anything other than bottled water.”

At those words, I tilted my head.

“Then what about this?”

“This is yours?”

“…Uh, I like bottled water too.”

“They say lotus root is good for nosebleeds.”

I’d never heard that before. How did he know that?

“Are you sure you didn’t just make that up?”

“Oh, my. I remember you said there’s nothing I didn’t know and that I know everything.”

“When did I…”

“Look at you. Now you’re lying.”

Even if I was being presumptuous, his criticism was light and humorous. After arguing for a while, I chose more snacks to soothe my empty stomach. During the checkout, I had to leave first. It was really embarrassing.
