TBM Vol 2 Part 18

His pliant body slumped forward repeatedly, helpless to Sa Seung-yeon’s steady rhythm. Lee Il-seo’s head shook with each thrust, his thoughts growing hazy as his senses dissolved into a dizzy fog. His pupils began to roll back.

Lee Il-seo now let out breathless moans without even thinking about soundproofing. Traces of Sa Seung-yeon’s ejaculation were thick trails pooled between his buttocks and streaked across his neck.

Lee Il-seo’s snow-white body, which was twisting each time Sa Seung-yeon cock pounded his insides, was damp with beads of sweat. Sa Seung-yeon, noticing that Lee Il-seo’s hands were still only clutching the blanket, continued his hip movements and said,

“Now touch yourself. Lee Lee Il-seo.”

“Haa, heuu…. Ye, es.”

“Masturbate until you cum.”

Amidst all the numb senses, Lee Il-seo grabbed and shook his dead cockat Sa Seung-yeon’s voice, which was particularly clear. Sa Seung-yeon, who had already come once, moved his cock more slowly than before. As expected, as soon as he touched his cock, the walls of Lee Il-seo’s insides tightened.

Sa Seung-yeon groaned low in his throat, suppressing a second climax. His movements slowed even more as he fought the rising pressure.. On the other hand, Lee Il-seo’s sensitivity soared after Sa Seung-yeon slowed down, and he soon picked up speed in grabbing and shaking his already hard cock.

“Haa, haa-eugh.”

“…”

“I, I think I’m going to cum.”

At Lee Il-seo’s words, Sa Seung-yeon also increased the speed of his thrusts. As the two men’s breathing heated up, they ejaculated almost simultaneously. Lee Il-seo’s gushing semen soaked the crumpled blanket, and Sa Seung-yeon’s semen soaked the inner walls of Lee Il-seo.

“Haa, ah….”

Lee Il-seo collapsed, arms and legs flung wide. Sa Seung-yeon withdrew slowly, watching Lee Il-seo’s chest rise and fall with exhausted pants. His slick cock slipped out with a soft pop, still semi-hard and coated in white fluid. He called out to Lee Il-seo, but he only seemed to be breathing heavily, without the strength to make a sound. Well, it wasn’t strange that a guy who called himself a premature ejaculator would last for so long and fall asleep right away.

After lying there like a corpse, breathing for a long time, Lee Il-seo pushed against the mattress with trembling hands and raised his body.

“Sub, bae-nim….”

“Uh.”

“Ah….”

Judging from his blank expression and lack of response, it seemed he was calling out unconsciously, like a child looking for his mother in his sleep. Sa Seung-yeon, with one corner of his mouth raised, wiped his cock with a wet tissue within reach and put the crumpled tissues together in the trash can. He pulled up his pants, put on the hat he had dropped, and met Lee Il-seo’s hazy eyes.

Unlike Lee Il-seo, who was covered in saliva from below his chin to his buttocks and was a complete mess, Sa Seung-yeon didn’t look like someone who had just had sex. That contrast seemed to snap Lee Il-seo back into reality. He pulled a thin blanket over himself, trying to hide the mess clinging to his skin.

“Why don’t you lie down more?.”

“It’s okay. I’m going to wash up too….”

“Suit yourself.”

Sa Seung-yeon headed for the door, slipping on his sneakers. He tapped the floor with his toe, then glanced back and clicked his tongue when he saw Lee Il-seo following awkwardly..

“You could have just seen me off from there. Why did you come all the way here?”

“…Still.”

Standing naked in front of the front door made him feel even colder. Sa Seung-yeon, who scanned his mottled body from bottom to top, chuckled and then raised his head as if he had remembered something, saying,

“Ah. Before you come to the set tomorrow. Go to the hospital and get tested for your traits and STDs.”

“Yes…?”

“We did it without a condom.”

“Ah, I’m Beta. I really don’t have any diseases…. You don’t have to worry.”

Sa Seung-yeon stared at Lee Il-seo for a few seconds, then spoke again without dropping his smile.

“Get tested, Lee Il-seo.”

Sa Seung-yeon was smiling with his eyes folded, but his voice was a little lower. Only now did Lee Il-seo begin to distinguish his false smile, this wasn’t a suggestion, and he judged that he shouldn’t respond any further and nodded his head.

“Yes, I understand.”

As if that was the right answer, Sa Seung-yeon’s eyes curved a little more softly.

“See you tomorrow.”

With a casual voice, the front door opened and closed again. Lee Il-seo, who had been staring at the closed door for a while, slowly bent his knees and sat down. He straightened his overturned slippers and went straight into the bathroom.

The mirror didn’t lie. His reflection was a canvas of bruises and marks. His neck was marred with purple hickeys, not just red but bitten deep. His nipples were red and swollen. Sa Seung-yeon’s fluids dried across his skin like a signature.

On set, Sa Seung-yeon was always cheerful and considerate of others, but in bed, he was mischievous and unfamiliar, as if he were a different person. He had to expose this body in front of all the staff tomorrow. While he was worried, Lee Il-seo shivered, but it wasn’t just from the cold.

There was still undried semen on the red tooth marks on his neck. He wiped the area around his damp and aching neck with his fingertips, smeared it with semen, and carefully pulled out the tip of his tongue to lick the traces.

Lee Il-seo, who slowly moistened his lips with his tongue, muttered to himself in a husky voice.

“We really did it.”

He was always walking a tightrope between work and reality. Because he was in love with Sa Seung-yeon. But today, both of them had completely crossed that line. Today, Sa Seung-yeon had sex with Lee Il-seo, not Haru, his practice partner.

Lee Il-seo traced the marks on his body like a brand before stepping into the shower..

***

Early in the morning,   Lee Il-seo stopped by a nearby internal medicine clinic for both a constitutional examination and STD testing. After paying extra to receive the results the same day, Lee Il-seo neatly folded the paper and tucked it deep into his bag.

Returning home to wait for Choi Kyung-hyun, he walked out to the alley at the appointed time. As soon as he got into the car, Choi Kyung-hyun handed him a tangerine-ade from a brand he liked.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes.”

 Lee Il-seo felt a pang of guilt accepting the drink, knowing he had just lied to Choi Kyung-hyun.

“How are you feeling?”

“I got an IV. I’m better now. Thank you.”

The moment he inserted the straw and took a sip, the cool, refreshing sensation spread down his throat. Watching through the rearview mirror as Lee Il-seo’s cheeks lifted with satisfaction at the sweet and tangy taste, Choi Kyung-hyun felt relieved. Despite his not-so-good complexion, Lee Il-seo’s bright expression suggested his condition wasn’t bad.

The van drove along the highway. Choi Kyung-hyun habitually checked on Lee Il-seo through the rearview mirror. Unlike last time when he had fallen asleep immediately upon entering the car, Lee Il-seo was now reviewing his script with a serious expression. After pronouncing a few lines, he took a sip of his tangerine-ade and hummed softly in satisfaction.

“Mmm”. 

Choi Kyung-hyun raised his eyebrows and addressed Lee Il-seo.

“Lee Il-seo, did something good happen?”

“What?”

“You seem excited about something.”

It was surprising to see the normally quiet boy, who never made a sound whether eating something delicious or experiencing something pleasant, was now humming, his lips quirking with every sip. Caught off guard, Lee Il-seo blinked, then looked away quickly and asked,

“Ah… Do I?”

“I only said it because it suits you. You should smile like that more.”

“Haha…”

 Lee Il-seo let his eyes wander and flipped the page. Choi Kyung-hyun smiled as he turned the wheel, but his expression changed as what Lee Il-seo would be filming hit him.   

“Ugh, you’re filming with Bae Tak-soo today, right?”

“Yes. It’s a later scene, but… Why?”

“Ah, I heard from road manager Kim Jin-hee yesterday that he made another rookie cry during a commercial shoot. The manager was new too, so they both got chewed out.”

A faint shadow fell over Lee Il-seo’s previously clear expression. He had heard the same rumors about Bae Tak-soo’s disdain for less famous actors and his tendency to bully newcomers. When there were no rookies to pick on, he’d pick at juniors or staff.

Even exposés hadn’t brought him down. Former celebrities and staff had spoken out in vlogs and interviews, but the scandal fizzled out. No apologies, no repercussions. His middling public image didn’t affect his casting, thanks to solid acting skills.

From the beginning, Bae Tak-soo’s side consistently ignored it without any particular response, and though his public image wasn’t especially good, his decent acting ability kept him being cast in supporting roles.

In the current drama, ‘Temperature of Overflow’, Bae Tak-soo played the second-in-command of an organization that the protagonist Jang Tae-hyun had belonged to in the past, so most of his scenes were with Sa Seung-yeon. Fortunately, Bae Tak-soo had spent most of his time with Director Chae Geum-soo, who was his age, or with middle-aged actors, so there hadn’t been many opportunities for  Lee Il-seo to encounter him thus far.

Choi Kyung-hyun glanced at  Lee Il-seo’s expression in the rearview mirror and spoke firmly.

“If he starts anything, don’t engage. Don’t try to please him. Just finish your scenes and get out of his way.”

“Yes. I’ll do that.”

“If he’s being too much of a jerk, tell me. I’ve been around longer… He’ll find me harder to deal with than you.”

Choi Kyung-hyun thought that since he had been working as a road manager for quite some time, Bae Tak-soo wouldn’t treat him as easily as he might treat  Lee Il-seo. But knowing  Lee Il-seo’s personality, it was clear he wouldn’t come running to Choi Kyung-hyun for help just because he was being picked on. Choi Kyung-hyun looked at  Lee Il-seo with concern, but  Lee Il-seo had already returned to his composed expression.

***

As soon as  Lee Il-seo arrived at the filming location, he began looking for Sa Seung-yeon. Catching a glimpse of Sa Seung-yeon’s profile at the area set up for actors to rest outside the building,  Lee Il-seo adjusted his bag containing the constitutional examination and STD test results and quickened his pace.

“Hello.”

But unfortunately, Sa Seung-yeon was with Bae Tak-soo. Hidden behind Sa Seung-yeon’s large frame, Bae Tak-soo hadn’t been visible—if  Lee Il-seo had known, he would have approached him later.  Lee Il-seo quickly greeted both of them. Sa Seung-yeon waved with his palm facing outward, while Bae Tak-soo glanced at Lee Il-seo a beat later and frowned.

“Tsk, the lead actor. Always get here earlier.”

“I’m sorry.”

Lee Il-seo always arrived much earlier than the scheduled filming time, and today too, with other actors filming first, he had arrived relatively early. But without making excuses, Lee Il-seo lowered his head and apologized. Sa Seung-yeon’s cool gaze brushed past Bae Tak-soo’s mouth before returning to  Lee Il-seo.

Although Bae Tak-soo usually ignored  Lee Il-seo’s greetings, not even looking at him, perhaps because of Sa Seung-yeon’s presence, he at least acknowledged him this time.

 Lee Il-seo looked at Sa Seung-yeon with an expression that has many things to say. Since it was Sa Seung-yeon who had told him to get tested before today’s filming,  Lee Il-seo felt pressured to inform him of the results quickly.

He waited, expecting Sa Seung-yeon to intuitively take him somewhere private, but Sa Seung-yeon just stared at him silently. Bae Tak-soo was the first to frown at the two standing awkwardly.

“Why are you still standing there? You’ve said hello, now go. The sunbaes are talking.”

“Ah, yes. I’m sorry.”

 Lee Il-seo scratched the back of his head and left. He couldn’t meet Sa Seung-yeon afterward either. He wanted to show him the clean test results as soon as possible, but the situation wasn’t favorable.

The reunion scene with Jang Tae-hyun, who had come to rescue the kidnapped Haru, was followed by a spectacular action sequence between Sa Seung-yeon and Park Jae-ho—the filming continued breathlessly. Lee Il-seo’s role was limited to being tied to a chair and later helping Jang Tae-hyun by swinging a wooden club, so it wasn’t as demanding as the trunk scene last time. He even received spontaneous praise from Director Chae Geum-soo for his physical performance, which secretly made him feel good

“Okay, cut!”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

With Director Chae Geum-soo’s refreshing okay signal, the staff’s applause followed. After the intense action scene with long takes and many extras, both actors were sweating profusely despite the rather cold environment.

While Sa Seung-yeon’s stylist was wiping away his sweat, Sa Seung-yeon removed his shirt soaked with fake blood, grabbed his t-shirt with his fingers, and shook it out. Then he naturally lifted the hem to wipe the sweat from his nape. This revealed the sculpted abs beneath his thick chest.  Lee Il-seo quickly stole glances at Sa Seung-yeon while pretending to drink his beverage.

” Lee Il-seo!”

“You startled me!”

Suddenly, someone wrapped an arm around his neck. Lee Il-seo jumped in surprise and quickly turned his head to find Park Jae-ho, covered in blood stains, smiling with the corners of his eyes curling up.

“I’m dead.”

Realizing a beat later, Lee Il-seo burst into laughter. Park Jae-ho had just died, struck down by Sa Seung-yeon’s axe—a heroic send-off in ‘Temperature of Overflow’. The fact that this was the final shoot for the only hyung he had truly opened his heart to filled him with quiet sorrow. Masking his disappointment with a smile, Lee Il-seo gently touched the wound makeup on Park Jae-ho’s stomach.

“Did it hurt?”

“Ah… Your boyfriend is strong.”

Park Jae-ho naturally took the tangerine-ade from  Lee Il-seo’s hand and drank through the straw.  Lee Il-seo removed Park Jae-ho’s sticky, sweaty arm from around him and shook his head slightly.

“Hyung, I really thought you were crazy. Why are you such a good actor?”
