Chapter 41

‘Why is he acting like this?’ He wasn’t exactly reserved before, but he never openly released pheromones to seduce him like this. Lee Jun thought today would be no different. Even though Chaeheon had suddenly called him, that didn’t mean he would suddenly close the distance.

Or perhaps his own pheromones had provoked Chaeheon? He had only intended to return the gesture, but maybe he had inadvertently stepped on a sleeping lion’s paw.

Regardless, Chaeheon had revealed his hidden desires, and the choice of whether to accept them fell to Lee Jun. Lee Jun turned his head towards Chaeheon’s face, which lingered at his neck. Their lips drew closer, and Lee Jun saw the light in Chaeheon’s eyes darken. Lee Jun parted his lips.

“If we can stop at a kiss.” Seeing Chaeheon’s eyes wrinkle with dissatisfaction, Lee Jun slowly pulled back. Chaeheon’s hand, which had been holding his neck, fell away with a hint of regret.

“This is why it’s not good to date someone you’ve already been with.” As Lee Jun looked at him while gathering his belongings, Chaeheon leaned his arm on the seat and shook his head.

“You don’t just dive in with only excitement.” Thinking of the kiss they almost shared, Chaeheon’s lips felt dry, so he stuck out his tongue and licked them. If they had been swept away by the atmosphere and kissed… and then thought about more than that, it would have been good, but Lee Jun had pulled back.

“The premise that I’m excited about you is wrong to begin with.”

“I don’t sense any sincerity.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“For someone who isn’t excited about me, you react quite well.” Chaeheon spoke arbitrarily, as if it were absurd, then got out of the car first. Lee Jun saw that Chaeheon hadn’t left the vicinity, even though his face wasn’t visible, and pondered for a moment.

Their feelings hadn’t been properly sorted out. So Chaeheon continued to reveal his feelings for Lee Jun, and while Lee Jun pushed him away, he ended up accepting more often.

This couldn’t go on. It didn’t make sense to continue like this. Furthermore, if these feelings weren’t just visible to them but noticed by others, it might no longer be appropriate to remain as they were.

“Let’s be honest.” Lee Jun mumbled, his gaze fixed on Chaeheon. Nowhere in his reasons for breaking up with him was there anything about his own feelings. To be frank, he still desired Chaeheon. The time spent with him was comfortable, and their kisses were thrilling, and… his mind, clouded by alcohol, constantly sought out only Chaeheon.

In the end, his heart still longed for Chaeheon, so the idea of keeping a distance because meeting again wasn’t right only created an ambiguous situation.

Lee Jun’s gaze followed Chaeheon as he approached where Lee Jun was sitting. Chaeheon’s face, revealed intermittently, made feelings of welcome flicker in and out of existence. He lightly tapped the car window to signal, then opened the door. Leaning one arm on the car, Chaeheon bent his upper body and met Lee Jun’s eyes.

“Do you want this?”

“…”

“If you like this car, I’ll give it to you.”

“…You could just tell me to get out quickly, why say unnecessary things?” As Lee Jun took one foot out of the car, Chaeheon made space for him to step down. Lee Jun didn’t refuse, standing there facing Chaeheon.

“Chaeheon.” Lee Jun called his name, feeling Chaeheon’s gaze focus on him.

“Let’s sort things out.” When Lee Jun called his name, disappointment quickly filled Chaeheon’s eyes, which had held a subtle glimmer of expectation.

“What are you suggesting?”

“Let’s completely sort out our feelings.” Lee Jun’s expression didn’t change at all, even though he knew Chaeheon’s voice was already prickly.

“Whether we kiss again or spend the whole day together, let’s act like we used to. And sort things out that way.” If ignoring it wasn’t the answer, then perhaps confronting it and letting things change was one way. Only then did Chaeheon, understanding what Lee Jun meant, look at him with a direct gaze, his mouth shut.

Chaeheon met Lee Jun’s eyes, then slowly lowered his gaze, lingering on Lee Jun’s lips for quite a while. Lee Jun deliberately smiled back at Chaeheon, who was staring at his lips.

“You pushed me away before, but now that I’m saying let’s stick together again, are you feeling wronged? Because I’m doing things my way?”

“Wronged… am I?” Chaeheon repeated Lee Jun’s words, though his expression clearly said otherwise. In that brief moment, he didn’t say no, but instead thought about what he could gain from it. Yes, this was just like Chaeheon. Anyway, after not accepting him when he wanted it, Lee Jun thought it might be good to give in to one of his desires, since he had acted so arbitrarily.

“Let’s kiss. Just for thirty minutes.” Why was he saying that when Lee Jun had already said a kiss was fine?

“If you can’t endure it, then you’re sleeping over with me tonight.” Realizing what Chaeheon wanted, Lee Jun let out a self-deprecating laugh.

“Alright.”

“I’ll leave the car keys here.” Thinking he had left them around this spot before, Lee Jun placed the car keys down, and Chaeheon, who had entered first, turned to look. He watched Lee Jun place his belongings in one spot, then nodded.

“Well, since you’re staying over, does it matter?” Chaeheon said, as if there was no need for Lee Jun to hold onto the car keys anymore, and Lee Jun retorted in an indifferent tone.

“I can just take the bus when I leave.”

“Wow. I can read your thoughts clearly, Senior.” ‘You’ve slept here countless times, and now you’re saying that?’ Chaeheon smiled brightly, contrary to his sinking mood. It felt as if his lips, even when pressing down, were mocking him to try and endure it.

What Lee Jun thought was a soft touch of lips seemed to be a delusion, as Chaeheon’s lips savagely devoured his. Chaeheon crushed Lee Jun’s lips, and his tongue immediately entered.

Chaeheon’s tongue spread wide, sweeping through Lee Jun’s mouth as if it were his own, then immediately poked at the oral mucosa and wrapped around Lee Jun’s tongue. Just when Lee Jun thought the tongue might retreat, it simultaneously sucked in Lee Jun’s tongue and lips. Chaeheon sucked up every bit of saliva, causing Lee Jun to instinctively close his mouth.

Chaeheon then grabbed Lee Jun’s cheeks with his hand, preventing him from closing his mouth. Lee Jun couldn’t feel the strong grip on his face due to the tingling sensation of his lips being bitten. The tongue re-entered, rubbing and tangling with Lee Jun’s faintly resisting tongue.

The kiss shared with Chaeheon was passionate and violent. Chaeheon’s kiss was so overwhelming that Lee Jun wondered if his nature wasn’t somewhat cruel.

“Ugh! Ah, ahh. Ah!” As Chaeheon’s sharply pointed tongue delved deep, seemingly trying to touch his uvula, Lee Jun’s mouth opened wide, and groans betraying his will repeatedly escaped. Even as Chaeheon forcefully sucked on his lips, his tongue moved about strongly, filling Lee Jun’s mouth, causing Lee Jun to push Chaeheon’s chest.

After Lee Jun hit Chaeheon’s unyielding chest a few times, Chaeheon briefly broke the kiss.

“Haa, haak.”

“Not yet.” Chaeheon turned his head to the other side and kissed Lee Jun again. He breathed in Lee Jun’s sweet breath, who couldn’t catch his own, and enveloped his tongue. Chaeheon hugged Lee Jun’s waist to prevent him from escaping, rubbed their lips together, and traced Lee Jun’s neat teeth.

“Wait, wait, hmph.”

Chaeheon ignored the force pushing against his chest again and savored Lee Jun’s lips. Lee Jun tried to stop him, but Chaeheon, wanting to continue kissing, didn’t pull away.

Even when Lee Jun shook his head and pressed his lips tightly together, Chaeheon licked and brushed his tongue over them. Lee Jun hit Chaeheon’s chest hard. His face immediately flushed, and he gasped for air as if breathless, so Chaeheon reluctantly pulled away.

“Haa. Haa.”

Lee Jun covered his mouth with the back of his hand, worried Chaeheon would kiss him again.

“There’s still more than twenty minutes left?” Chaeheon pushed his phone in front of Lee Jun’s eyes. Twenty minutes…? Lee Jun’s face grew increasingly pale. He had wanted to stop several times, even during the portion he had just endured.

The kiss with Chaeheon was unbelievably rough. Even with his mouth just slightly open, Chaeheon’s tongue filled it, and his lips were rubbed together, drawing all of Lee Jun’s attention and making him constantly hold his breath. It was overwhelming to the point his chest ached, but the kiss itself was also difficult to endure.

Thankfully, he was leaning against a wall; otherwise, he would have wanted to collapse right then. After hesitating several times, Lee Jun squeezed his eyes shut.

“How could the kiss be gentle when there’s no time to spare?” Chaeheon’s voice mumbled through the moments he bit Lee Jun’s lower lip, which was already so tempting.

Chaeheon shifted his gaze from his phone to Lee Jun. Lee Jun’s eyes, as flushed as his face, clearly showed that they had just been kissing.

“You should have thought about this from the start.” Chaeheon’s lips curled into a smirk. He had intentionally barraged Lee Jun with kisses, knowing he wouldn’t be able to endure it. Chaeheon, who had been wondering whether to ignore the thought that it was too late to change his mind and kiss him again, nodded.

Chaeheon deliberately took a step back from Lee Jun, signaling that the kiss was over. A clear smile appeared on Chaeheon’s face, as if he had never pressured Lee Jun at all.

“Kissing me and sleeping over… Senior, you’re more greedy than you look.” Lee Jun’s eyes widened. Chaeheon hadn’t started with a light peck; he had continuously pressed on, not allowing Lee Jun to breathe, and then blamed it all on Lee Jun.

“Do you think I’d miss this opportunity?” Chaeheon, looking at Lee Jun, stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip.
