PV Ch.16 Part 3

“Do you want to live with me forever? I’ll treat you well.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. I feel like I could be happy every day if I lived with you.”

His initial shyness had long since vanished. Kim Seohun wasn’t as strikingly handsome as Shi Yu-hyeon or the other male leads, but there was an undeniable charm to him that grew on him.

“Okay.”

Kim Seohun smiled, pressing a kiss against Bomin’s palm. His eyes, framed by monolids, crinkled at the corners.

“I’m going to save up a lot of money and build a huge mansion. And your room will be the first one I build.”

It was the first time Bomin had voiced his dreams aloud.

“Then I want the room next to yours… Or better yet, we can share a room.”

“You’re such a cutie.”

Kim Seohun, his cheeks flushed, added shyly. Bomin couldn’t resist. He pulled Kim Seohun into a hug, nuzzling his cheek. 

“Whoa… That t-tickles…”

Kim Seohun squirmed, but he didn’t pull away from the embrace. In fact, he leaned in closer, maximizing their contact. 

He hadn’t planned on having s*x. Bomin had been through enough last night. But ever since he started sucking Bomin off, he couldn’t ignore the growing ache in his groin. 

Bomin, oblivious to the desire in Kim Seohun’s eyes, started searching for his phone. 

“Esper Shi Yu-hyeon said he’d contact me.”

“…That guy?”

“Yes.”

Kim Seohun’s lips puckered into a pout. He had a bad feeling about Shi Yu-hyeon from the moment they met. 

He instinctively knew that Shi Yu-hyeon was different from the other Espers. And the way Bomin acted around him only confirmed his suspicions.

Bomin, who usually spoke casually to everyone, was suddenly using formal language with Shi Yu-hyeon.

It wasn’t that he thought formal language meant they were closer. It was just… seeing Bomin acting so demurely around Shi Yu-hyeon made him anxious. 

His mood darkened as he watched the way Bomin’s expression softened as he looked at his phone. 

“It looks like everyone’s gone to China for work?”

“Yes. Esper Song Jaeho asked me to look after you.”

Did Song Jaeho know? That there was something different about Shi Yu-hyeon?

Kim Seohun, unable to hide his anxiety, bit his lip. Bomin, his thumb scrolling through his notifications, suddenly looked up.

“What’s the weather like today?”

“The weather? I think… it’s supposed to be sunny.”

Kim Seohun vaguely remembered seeing a sun icon on Bomin’s phone earlier.

“Then let’s go on a picnic.”

“A picnic?”

“Yes. You, me, and Esper Shi Yu-hyeon.”

Kim Seohun’s face, which had brightened at the mention of a picnic, fell at the mention of Shi Yu-hyeon. 

“You don’t like picnics?”

“N-No, it’s not that… Bomin-ah…”

“Yes?”

Seeing Kim Seohun’s gloomy expression, Bomin put down his phone, giving him his full attention. He wanted to cheer him up. 

“Do you… Perhaps like Esper Shi Yu-hyeon…?”

After much hesitation, Kim Seohun finally voiced his fears. He knew Bomin was fond of him, but Bomin was… well, Bomin. He had many admirers. Kim Seohun was afraid of how Bomin might change if he truly fell for someone. Especially if that someone wasn’t him…

“Of course I like him.”

“Ah…”

Kim Seohun’s gaze dropped, unable to meet Bomin’s eyes. His vision blurred.

A tear escaped, trailing down his cheek. It felt as though his heart was shattering.

“But I like you too.”

His despair, sinking deeper and deeper, was lifted by the warmth of a hand cupping his cheek.

“I like you, and Esper Shi Yu-hyeon, and Song Jaeho. Hmm… I’m not sure about the others.”

Bomin’s brow furrowed as he thought about the other Espers who were currently in China with Song Jaeho. 

He wasn’t sure what to make of Won Seongwoo yet, and he was still angry at Han Biseong and Yoon Bisam. But he didn’t dislike them, so he decided to set those feelings aside for now. 

As for Jeong Hotae… his feelings for him were… complicated.

“Ah, there is one I hate… I’m going to kill that bastard.” 

Bomin gritted his teeth, Seok Changmu’s leering face flashing in his mind. Wait, he shouldn’t be distracted by this. 

He had things to investigate—things related to Seok Changmu and Jeong Hotae. He had been so caught up in his s*xual escapades that he had completely neglected his other responsibilities. 

“I-I see…” 

Kim Seohun’s spirits soared at the news that Bomin liked him, but then deflated when he mentioned liking others. And then he swallowed hard as he watched Bomin’s eyes narrow, his expression turning murderous. 

“Let’s go on that picnic. It’s my treat.”

Bomin thought about those two unused black cards Han Biseong and Yoon Bisam had given him. He hadn’t even had a chance to get properly angry at them. It was time to put those cards to good use.

His legs wobbled as he got out of bed. He might not have any physical injuries, but taking two c*cks at once had definitely left its mark. 

“Lean on me, Bomin-ah.” 

Kim Seohun quickly moved to his side, wrapping an arm around his waist. Bomin leaned into him, accepting his support without a word.

His destination, now that he could walk properly, was the room next to the bedroom.

“When did they move all my clothes?”

The walk-in closet was filled with his clothes and accessories, meticulously organized. He browsed through the racks, his fingers skimming across the different fabrics and colors. 

“I should have brought more clothes…”

Kim Seohun rummaged through his duffel bag. Despite Bomin’s invitation, he still felt a little awkward treating Song Jaeho’s place as his own.

“You can wear my clothes. Come here.”

Bomin beckoned him closer. Even though Kim Seohun was bigger than him, it wasn’t a huge difference. He could definitely fit into some of Bomin’s clothes.

“Want to try this?”

Bomin held out a white T-shirt with an abstract print.

It was simple, yet eye-catching. And much more colorful than what Kim Seohun usually wore. 

“Do you think it’ll look good on me…?” 

Kim Seohun’s wardrobe mostly consisted of neutral colors. He rarely wore anything colorful, and even then, it was usually a muted shade of blue or beige. 

“Of course. You have a good physique; you can pull off anything. Let’s pair it with these.”

Bomin found a pair of light blue jeans to go with the shirt. 

Kim Seohun blushed. It was the first time someone had picked out clothes for him.

“What are you going to wear, Bomin?” 

“Hmm…”

Kim Seohun, holding the shirt carefully so as not to wrinkle it, joined Bomin, who was seriously browsing through his clothes.

“Can I… choose something for you?”

“Would you like that?” 

Kim Seohun asked, his gaze flickering towards Bomin. Bomin readily stepped aside, giving him free rein. Kim Seohun, biting back a smile, approached the rack.

“How about this?” 

It was a shirt that had caught his eye the moment Bomin had offered to dress him. The abstract print on Kim Seohun’s shirt was predominantly black and white, with a splash of bright yellow as an accent.

The shirt in his hand was beige, with the same colors as the print on his own shirt running along the bottom hem in stripes. It almost looked like a couple’s outfit. 

“It’s nice. I think I’ll wear jeans with this too.”

Bomin nodded, holding the shirt up to his body. He couldn’t help but smile, knowing what Kim Seohun was thinking.

“We look like a couple, don’t we?”

“…Yes.”

Kim Seohun’s face flushed at Bomin’s bright smile. His steps were light as they left the room. 

Even though it wasn’t a date just between the two of them, this was the first time he had ever coordinated outfits with someone. A happy rhythm drummed in his chest.

“Bomin-ssi!”

As they exited the building reserved for S-rank Espers, Shi Yu-hyeon approached them, calling out Bomin’s name. 

His smile faltered for a moment as he saw Kim Seohun beside Bomin, but he quickly recovered. 

“Don’t you have training today?”

“No, I’ve finished the urgent ones. Besides, seeing Bomin-ssi is the most important thing to me right now. I’ve missed you so much.”

Bomin, knowing how busy Shi Yu-hyeon was, had been worried. But his reply was like a sweet melody to his ears.

“It’s nice to see you again.” 

Shi Yu-hyeon smiled at Kim Seohun. His smile, dazzling enough to charm anyone, had no effect on Kim Seohun.

Kim Seohun, his hands clenched into fists, stood tall, his gaze meeting Shi Yu-hyeon’s.

“Hello, I’m Guide Kim Seohun.” 

He was grateful that his voice didn’t waver. Shi Yu-hyeon’s smile widened. 

“It’s nice to meet you, Guide Kim Seohun. I’m Esper Shi Yu-hyeon.” 

Shi Yu-hyeon offered his hand. Kim Seohun hesitated for a moment before taking it. 

“Aaargh…!”

Shi Yu-hyeon’s grip tightened, the pain unbearable. For a moment, Kim Seohun thought his hand was being crushed. 

“Ah, I’m so sorry. I haven’t quite gotten used to my strength yet. I’m so sorry.” 

Shi Yu-hyeon released his hand, bowing deeply. Kim Seohun, tears welling up in his eyes, glared at the handsome man. 

It seemed like Shi Yu-hyeon wouldn’t straighten up until Kim Seohun said he was okay. 

“Seohun-ah, are you alright? Did it hurt a lot?”

Bomin, who had been enjoying their little showdown, approached them, taking Kim Seohun’s hand. 

Fortunately, there were no injuries. 

“I-I’m fine…”

Kim Seohun had no choice but to say he was okay. 

He wasn’t sure if Shi Yu-hyeon had truly misjudged his strength, or if he had done it on purpose. But he knew he would be the one who looked bad if he made a big deal out of it. 

“Please allow me to treat you to a meal as an apology.”

Shi Yu-hyeon finally straightened up, a polite smile on his face. Kim Seohun, his lips trembling, forced a smile of his own. 

“Let’s go, Yu-hyeon-ssi, I’m hungry.”

Bomin took Shi Yu-hyeon’s arm, looking up at him. The sunlight glinted in his dark eyes.

“Me too… hand…”

Kim Seohun, taking a step closer to Bomin, reached for his other hand. 

Bomin didn’t pull away. Instead, he tightened his grip, their fingers interlacing. 

“Is there anything you’d like to eat, Bomin-ssi?”

Shi Yu-hyeon took Bomin’s other hand, their fingers interlocking. His hand, much larger than Bomin’s, enveloped his.

“Anything you choose will be delicious, Yu-hyeon-ssi.”

“Then please allow me to take you to one of my favorite places.” 

Shi Yu-hyeon couldn’t suppress his smile as he felt Bomin’s fingers gently tapping against his hand. He leaned down, pressing a light kiss against Bomin’s forehead. His expression, as he inhaled Bomin’s scent, was as serene as a saint in a Renaissance painting.

Kim Seohun, watching them, tightened his grip on Bomin’s hand.

“It seems awakening as an Esper is more stressful than I anticipated. Seeing you, Bomin-ssi, has really eased my tension.”

“It was that hard?”

“Yes… but seeing your face makes me feel energized.”

Shi Yu-hyeon smiled at Bomin, his long eyelashes giving him a vulnerable air. His eyes, filled with longing, were fixated on Bomin. Bomin, standing on his tiptoes, brushed a light kiss against his lips.

“I’m happy to see you too, Yu-hyeon-ssi.”

Shi Yu-hyeon was the only one who had been kind to him from the very beginning. Sure, Bomin had been manipulative, but if it were any of the other Espers, they wouldn’t have hesitated to take advantage of him.

He was as sweet as he looked, his gaze, his touch, his words, all laced with honey.

“Don’t forget about me…”

Kim Seohun, feeling left out, tugged on Bomin’s hand. Bomin, still smiling, leaned down and kissed him on the cheek. 

“Of course I like you too, Seohun-ah. I told you earlier.”

“…Yes.” 

Kim Seohun finally relaxed, a soft smile mirroring Bomin’s.
