VDN Ch 44

Seo-oh looked uneasy at Nam-woon, who was busy moving wood in the yard and anxiously asked,

“Are you sure you can do this?”

“Of course. We just need to set up the wood and nail it. Are you going to help me?”

Seo-oh nodded reluctantly

“Hold this.”

As Nam-woon stood a tall wood upright, he looked at Seo-oh and said, “Grab onto it.” Seo-oh crouched down silently as he held the wood, while Nam-woon suddenly leaned in with the hammer.

Thud.

Seo-oh instinctively leaned back, and the wood he had just stood up toppled over.

“What are you doing? I almost hit you.”

“…….”

Seo-oh picked up the wood again. Thwack. As Nam-woon quickly hammered in a nail and stepped back a few paces, his foot got caught on some scattered wood materials.

“Ah!”

As Nam-woon nearly fell backward, Seo-oh urgently reached out, calling, “Hyung!”

“Whoa, I almost fell.”

“…….”

“Thanks.

However, Seo-oh was looking downward instead of at Nam-woon’s face. For some reason he felt a feeling of emptiness underneath. Nam-woon also glanced down.

“…….”

Nam-woon’s underwear was clearly visible. It was underwear designed with one thousand won bills. It was a situation that happened when Seo-oh’s outstretched hand caught Nam-woon’s waistband. Nam-woon looked at Seo-oh, whose eyes were trembling as he quickly pulled up his pants at the speed of light.

“What are you looking at!”

After standing silently for a while, Seo-oh eventually spoke with a strange tone.

“Do they have different versions of that underwear?”

“Why?”

Surprised by the sudden question, Nam-woon looked puzzled.

“I want to buy one for Se-han.”

“Se-han? Why would you buy this for Se-han? It’s too big.”

“There might be a children’s version. I think it would be good for Se-han to wear something like this since he’s not very good with money.”

But Se-han knows all the bills, doesn’t he? At that moment, Seo-oh quickly added.

“Are there any other versions? Like five thousand or ten thousand won bills.”

“Huh? Uh-huh…”

Nam-woon answered absentmindedly, then realized his mistake and looked at Seo-oh, but he had already turned his back. Seo-oh said, “Bathroom” and strode out of the yard.

Ah, damn, why did I say there was a ten thousand won bill? I shouldn’t have said that.

The question had come so suddenly that he couldn’t think of anything else.

Did he get caught? Or did he not get caught?

Nam-woon tried to calm his pounding heart and recalled Seo-oh’s expression. He wasn’t sure, but… he probably wasn’t caught. If he had been caught, Seo-oh wouldn’t be so calm.

Boom.

Seo-oh entered the house loudly, as if he were destroying everything in sight and headed straight for the bathroom. Slamming the door shut and leaning against the narrow bathroom wall, he covered his mouth with his hand.

Was that dream real?

Seok Nam-woon’s underwear. The visuals, angles, and density of the bills in the dream had matched exactly, which was a shocking sight in the dream. There was even a version where ten thousand-won bills existed.

“…No, it couldn’t be.”

But if such a thing were real, Nam-woon wouldn’t be doing that in his own house. Seo-oh repeated to himself that it wasn’t real while naturally recalling the dream from that day.

Now that he thought about it, it had a strange sense of reality. The flesh that clung to his palm like sticky rice cake. And Seok Nam Woon’s embarrassed expression. Seok Nam Woon’s reaction in the dream was too similar to the real Seok Nam Woon to be dismissed as just a dream.

He must have been crazy at the time. It was a very big deal for something done impulsively in his sleep. He almost forced himself on him.

Why is he doing this lately? Didn’t he act impulsively just a while ago?

Trying a pheromone shower on Nam-woon was an unplanned act. He and Hyung weren’t even dating yet, so it shouldn’t have happened. But he couldn’t think straight due to the strong alpha scent coming from Nam-woon.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the effects of the pheromone shower did not last very long. Typically, it lasted about a week. In the case of a dominant alpha, it could last up to a month, but Seo-oh was an incomplete dominant alpha.

Seo-oh had a weak sense of smell for pheromones from a young age. His trait was that he could naturally smell other people’s scents, even when their own pheromones were concealed. However, Seo-oh could only detect scents when the pheromones were emitted strongly.

This was his first time trying a pheromone shower, so the effect probably wasn’t long-lasting. However, if there were any changes in Nam-woon’s response to the pheromones, he could confirm it at any time. That alone was significant.

“Did you have a good day at school?”

“Yeah.”

Watching Nam-woon greet him at home, unknowingly giving off his pheromones, made his lower abdomen tightened.  And imagining Nam-woon wandering around while covered in his scent everywhere stirred up a dark possessiveness deep in his heart.

Since Seo-oh applied the pheromone, Se-han has become even more attached to Nam-woon. Although he didn’t know anything, he seemed to intuitively feel reassured by his brother’s pheromones and clung to Nam-woon even more.

“Why, why are you doing this?”

“Come here.”

Suddenly, he remembered the moment when he had put his pheromones on Nam-woon’s body and had close contact with him. And how he kissed and rubbed his body against his in his dream.

Seo-oh’s lower half gradually began to stiffen. After he hesitated for a moment, Seo-oh grabbed his pants and underwear at once and pulled them down slightly. Then, a large p*nis sprang out. Leaning against the bathroom wall with his back, he grabbed the veinily erect p*nis with his hand and shook it. “Ha” Seo-oh’s humid breath filled the small bathroom.

If that hadn’t been a dream, he would have really…

He recalled the hazy memories from the dream, and he overlaid his dirty imagination on top of them. He imagined sucking Nam-woon’s sticky tongue on his lips, spreading his firm buttocks with his hand, and inserting his p*nis into his tight hole. He imagined holding Nam-woon’s waist and holding him down as he trembled in pain or embarrassment as he buried himself deeper and deeper. Nam-woon’s usually pale skin, which usually had a red tint, would turn a deep, vivid red the moment their bodies connected.

Seo-oh’s eyebrows furrowed involuntarily in the midst of his growing excitement. His up-and-down hand movements became even faster. I want to put it in, Hyung. Before he knew it, Seo-oh’s head was filled with only instinct.

Nam-woon paced around anxiously, picking up and dropping pieces of wood in the yard.

Hyung, nothing weird happened that day, right?

If he asks that, he’ll just brush it off with a…

“Did you really have a dream of something like that?”

He could just play dumb and that would be the end of it.

Nam-woon, running through simulations in his head just in case, kicked a piece of wood lying on the ground. Come on, would anyone really believe it was real? Anyone sane would just think it was a dream. No need to worry.

But what’s he doing in the bathroom? Is he building a new one or something? Why isn’t he coming out? After waiting a long time, Seo-oh finally appeared. Nam-woon kept a poker face and tried to act casual as he spoke.

“Did you have some big business to take care of? Why were you in there so long?”

But Seo-oh’s hair was damp, as if he’d just taken a shower.

“What, did you wash up?”

Seo-oh lowered his head and parted his lips.

“Hyung.”

His ears were bright red.

“What?”

 “You know, that time.” 

“Uh, when?”

Nam-woon swallowed his saliva.

“The day Se-han slept over at his friend’s house and it was just the two of us, that day…”

“Yeah?”

If he asks if anything strange happened, just answer casually.

“Did I try to take off your underwear?”

“Your dream… What?”

Nam-woon’s eyes widened in surprise at the unexpectedly direct question.

“Underwear…Did I try to take off your underwear?”

“No! You didn’t take off my underwear!?”

Nam-woon shook his head frantically in denial. His hair flew wildly with the intense movement.

Nam-woon responded to Seo-oh’s out-of-the-ordinary question about whether he had taken off his underwear. No, that never happened. He kept repeating, like a broken record, that he definitely did not take off his underwear. Seo-oh, listening to Nam-woon’s voice, suddenly turned his back.

“W-what, where are you going now?”

As Nam-woon looked at his broad back and asked, Seo-oh replied in his usual tone,

“I just remembered I have an assignment due tomorrow. I can’t help you today.”

Without looking back, he strode into the house. What the heck, did he find out or not? And why did he suddenly go inside? How am I supposed to do all this alone…? Not knowing what was going on with Seo-oh, Nam-woon just stood alone in the yard, stomping on a random piece of wood.

***

Things have been weird between the two of them lately.

“…….”

Deok-chil chewed on a piece of chewy candy, watching the two men standing face-to-face in the middle of the office.

As Nam-woon moved his left foot, Kwon Seo-oh moved his left foot in the same direction. When Nam-woon moved to the right, unfortunately, so did Kwon Seo-oh. After repeating this several times, Nam-woon finally spoke up.

“You go first.”

Without even looking at Nam-woon, Kwon Seo-oh passed him and went outside. Jang-mi, who was sitting next to Deok-chil and watching the scene, commented.

“What’s up with them today? The atmosphere is so tense.”

“Huh? It doesn’t seem like that kind of atmosphere. Doesn’t it look more like they’re embarrassed or something?”

Deok-chil stuffed the rest of his chewy candy into his mouth as he spoke. It did seem like the two had fought, but there was also a strange, unexplainable tension in the air.

These days, Kwon Seo-oh always wore a frown, looking like he’d beat someone up if they so much as picked a fight with him. He never even glanced at Nam-woon, almost like someone with a stiff neck. The funny thing was, whenever Nam-woon was focused on something else, Seo-oh would turn his head and stare directly at his face.

Just then, Nam-woon plopped down next to Deok-chil, clenched his fist, and patted his lower back.

“Young master, is your back hurting?”

“Yeah. A little.”

“Should I give you a massage?”

Seo-oh, who had stepped out for a moment, came back in. Nam-woon looked at Deok-chil’s hands with suspicion. Maybe it was because those hands were always holding tools and breaking things, but he didn’t look very trustworthy. Sitting right next to Nam-woon, Deok-chil grinned confidently.

“I actually have a massage license, you know.”

“Really?”

 “Yes. Try it once. I’ll really make you feel refreshed.”

As he hesitated and lay face down on the sofa, Deok-chil climbed on top of Nam Woon. At the same time as he felt a heavy weight on his body, a thudding noise was heard somewhere in the office.
