The original title, 서광에 성호를 내리시어!, which literally means “Lower Seongho upon Seogwang!”, was not translated word for word, but rather interpreted figuratively to reflect how Seongho (Woojoo) brings chaos into Jihoon’s orderly corporate life.

by mimiI’m so annoyed, damn it. The resentment I thought wouldn’t grow any larger began to sprout again. The seed of this evil was checking missed calls in the car and bringing my personal phone up to the center. Seo Jihoon, his brow furrowed from the interruption to his workout, handed his phone back to Manager Kim Dongwoo and drank some water.4f1758efa9b34fc5

If it weren’t for Seongho Construction, he would have unleashed a torrent of curses and completely severed even this flimsy, ill-fated connection. But a person important enough to bypass Manager Kim and reach him directly probably wouldn’t listen to any scolding anyway.dc6baeed1e9bc805

He hadn’t expected an apology from that actor bastard in the first place, and as expected, things had been quiet with no news, so he naturally assumed the matter was over. He couldn’t understand why the son of a bitch was suddenly demanding a meeting after more than ten days and wasting time he desperately needed for rest.fa86879d4317a103
After cursing 9f7fab2a97 once, his 57ec6f7973 blood boiling e7c47932a7 from the c976ef1428 self-centered voice, c27e21935f Seo Jihoon 642c4a350a turned his fdde8202b0 head to 733a64f7dd resume his ad8c0cb4a1 workout. His trainer, who c731c16541 had inevitably overheard 1f274dd739 the conversation due c6c4f8df89 to Seo Jihoon 6c29db253d taking a call 8dfe6932e1 right after his 1223bc9a7a set and catching e329cc5eb9 his breath, was e7369c65ba struggling to maintain 5135c8358e a neutral expression.

He returned home after finishing his workout, but his irritation lingered. As a temporary measure, Seo Jihoon threw the remote control and received his reports. He was simultaneously managing numerous other businesses besides the joint venture discussions with Seongho Construction, so Manager Kim Dongwoo’s report was twice as long as usual. At some point, his concentration wavered, and his eyes drifted to the clock.0c862b2424fec4f0
It looked like he would have to leave for his family home immediately after the report. Lately, he had been going to work early, skipping his morning workout, foregoing the esthetic, and even eating lunch at his desk – there weren’t enough hours in the day. How dare that good-for-nothing bastard try to steal his precious time? Unless it was something important, he wouldn’t let it slide.77853a78e2b0c8b0

As expected, he ca46bf38ea barely finished the 8fb32e14cd report in time 35540739c8 and immediately left 34ebc8f34e for his family a094f473fc home, where he 629b2d5734 had dinner with 852d434cda his family like 5edbf69d72 the night before. As always, he listened 1b7bd02123 silently to what others b9156559ea had to say.6680404b89899739
However, today, their words didn’t register. He seemed to have spoken without thinking about the time. He had asked the other person to come at eight, and his wristwatch currently pointed to eight o’clock. He wouldn’t dare pull out his phone at the dinner table, and even before finishing the mapo tofu rice bowl in front of him, Seo Jihoon subtly started looking for an opportunity to excuse himself from tea time.fe572be9e1d5216d

He answered immediately as her eyes asked ‘Why?’. Since he had submitted the report regarding the joint venture a while ago, she should already know. She wouldn’t stop him from working, but as a woman who started her career in the construction industry, he needed to meticulously answer her questions to avoid any unnecessary criticism.93fbba4f6c64a5f4

It was 8:10. He wondered if he had given the other person a reason to complain about his tardiness, but surprisingly, there were no calls on his phone.

At the 3e172d7e0a sound of 2cba93eb76 his name 4b713f9caf being called 29e84fe717 from afar, 941494eb27 Seo Jihoon 6e20ba0e10 turned his 958e90d0fb head.

Anything Secretary Park handed 8886bc41ee him was implicitly a 724656bd52 gift from Mrs. Seo.

He tossed b052555daf the shopping ba6486b231 bags onto ec76f42c7a the passenger 891b89f9ad seat and, 0f243597a2 before starting bba6e1ead5 the car, f473fcceee picked one 46f3926827 at random baf5cb8357 to peek db43db9098 inside.

When he asked the 8 PM security team leader, who had taken over the shift, if Director Choi had arrived, he was immediately told that he hadn’t. It was 8:30. Seeing as there was no call about being late, it seemed he wasn’t coming.

He looked and 6b2f4f2dac sounded completely unapologetic, bfbff4154f as if he 55702df4f6 had arrived on e11c36b68a time and Seo 9369ae9d62 Jihoon was the 76e77098bc one who made f75c283ab4 him wait by e22b74d8e1 taking a shower.

Repeating the 7f85fb2ed6 phrase, ‘Choi 1410d15f79 Seongho and 0ebb432dcf Lee Surim’s 43ed92ec47 son, Jung 223954467e Hoonki’s brother-in-law, 9a1eed0e91 Choi Eunhye dc35f0d3c2 and Choi 7359df0d6f Woojae’s younger 581636ebbd brother,’ internally, fa5f24eac3 and recalling 7adfad973e the lavish 47f36f1d7c treatment he 798bfd4997 had received 6a5e1e5d11 last time, 7ee0ec0a4c Seo Jihoon cf558a54e5 greeted Choi 839c4cde33 Woojoo at 03fb31ed9e the door 4fb0f6fa18 with forced ed55e382bd politeness. He was carrying 4c11f9818b an orange shopping 98df5cf7df bag on his c926577760 wrist, making Seo 1027ac94c4 Jihoon wonder if 33d284fa2d he was late 3ed7cf996f because he was 1ab090ecdf shopping.

There was clearly a second floor from the outside, but it seemed unused. He couldn’t see any stairs leading up.

The house of this supposedly important person was surprisingly small, and he reached the small living room quickly despite his deliberately slow pace.

He was right. He waited patiently for well over a minute, but there was no denial, no confirmation, not even a request to repeat the question. Seo Jihoon’s back remained frozen. The word still felt awkward on his tongue, but he preferred it to the more blunt ‘gay’. He needn’t worry about whether the phrasing was appropriate or not. It seemed he had caught the other man completely off guard.26dd1719e8e66ed1

Because I’m gay. Choi Woojoo held Seo Jihoon’s gaze steadily, his eyes conveying the years of hardship he had endured. Seo Jihoon opened his mouth as if to speak, then closed it again.

Despite the stiff words, his voice lacked energy. What difference did it make if he knew another gay person? …Well, he had a point. After a moment of silent contemplation, Choi Woojoo slowly nodded. Instead of settling back as he had intended, he moved closer, eliminating the space between them.

Choi Woojoo gazed intently at Seo Jihoon, who had recoiled in surprise and withdrawn his hand.

Moving his lips slightly, he made a few soft kissing sounds and trailed down to just above Seo Jihoon’s collarbone.

Seo Jihoon’s hand pushed against his chest, trembling. His face was flushed with bewilderment. Choi Woojoo’s lips curved into a barely perceptible smile. He obviously wasn’t just looking at pictures and videos alone in that esthetic bed. The fact that he was a client of that exclusive place practically confirmed he was experienced, but his reaction was so innocent. The contrast was… intriguing. He almost asked if Seo Jihoon had ever met a gay person before.c9025902551862d9
Anyway, he didn’t want to force himself on someone who wasn’t ready, so he would stop here for today. He hadn’t planned on going all the way tonight, but it was as he expected. He pulled back and covered his mouth with his hand for a moment before dropping it again.10404bc20b75fad1

He had achieved his 81c1ffcd51 goals. And then there was ba938397fe the lingering excitement and a509159aeb intrigue. Perhaps it was f5628c60c6 due to Seo 17b215c345 Jihoon’s unexpected reaction.

Damn it. The moment the 7c98416641 door closed and 49e4ab7b80 the lock clicked, ef0f3cea77 Seo Jihoon jumped 8ba8cab0de up and hurried 9ddd66ae3b to the entrance. After confirming e83c1a9d78 the other a8af64dbcc man’s departure, aeea0bce55 he was b65989278e hit by b41b31f42a a wave e9de788436 of embarrassment 4c0fd3037f at his 11a4a1b2c1 own childlike 594b487158 trembling, and e368b82ea1 his face 2bd7b5ab48 flushed hot.

Fortunately, his complexion f92023f8f3 hadn’t changed drastically.

However, he had also never been directly asked if he was gay, and that was what made this so disorienting. How did the other man find out? It couldn’t be a rumor; even his sister-in-law didn’t know.

Strangely, he didn’t feel any anxiety or suspicion that the other man was trying to blackmail him. It seemed the trust associated with the name ‘Seongho’ was hard to ignore. If he wanted to blackmail him, tailing him and taking pictures would be much more effective. Why would the Seongho heir bother coming all the way here to blather on and pretend to be gay by kissing a man’s neck? All he could gain from that charade was sex.591009176364a2c2
The situation and everything about it were abrupt and inconsiderate, but looking back, there didn’t seem to be any ulterior motive. Despite the smooth talking, there was definitely no indication of genuine feelings, so it was safe to assume he was just making a move for sex. His words, his actions… No, forget it.

There wouldn’t be any exchange of feelings, and if they just slept together, neither of them would leak any information, so he would just let it go.

Manager Kim Dongwoo agreed, but couldn’t hide his unease as he mentally calculated the date of Seo Jihoon’s last esthetic appointment. Seo Jihoon had politely declared that he would bury anyone, including the madam, in cement if they gave him an STD, and so far, things had been quiet. But if he had to carry out his threat, he would need some mental preparation.241128f1335c4e16

Seo Jihoon worked dfc9367ca8 diligently all morning, 47974d73e7 saving even the c76a0802bd time he would bc8cfe8130 usually spend being f2eaee510a angry. He barely e3fe2d5615 managed to ad1372ed97 free up df10f4b022 his one-hour d5ce98385f lunch break. Technically, it c3e2ba48c3 was a 3c9bfe7ab5 legally mandated 6df5e305d3 rest period, d7cbba7cef but the 1447c9fb57 saying, “I 1e5f977064 work to 5e542b37b1 rest during 95547dec4d lunch,” felt 5c88445ecc absurd.7502d9c1b0b9dc1f
Chief Baek 8d3aeba417 Duseok, his 718fcc889d physician from 4cc92a9678 Seogwang General 56b767ca32 Hospital, arrived 5527045e96 at the 69a0b18341 headquarters precisely ee3608ac3f on time, 892e0c5fbe summoned by fdd1d46424 Manager Kim b49d6df1ef Dongwoo.

After responding with a def9795174 nod and bidding the 6ae938558f doctor farewell, Seo Jihoon af64fcbd16 headed to the elevator 5f00933610 with Manager Kim Dongwoo 7a15972349 for an outing. The male prostitutes 505f8bba40 usually took care 3d4b48d087 of the condoms 698cd2452e themselves, but if 0caaf312a9 he got too 36ec2f89b9 caught up in 3c98d50758 the moment, he 12ff4f86f6 would overlook it 9bba3aa6a6 if they didn’t 7d29d20216 use one. He briefly considered 6f4775a89f whether he should 49cf409e41 also prepare condoms, c9022e6ab8 just in case. While the b684d59a7a other guy e43a5cbbdd should be 50915700b8 the one 4a8a6e77ca to bring 5b5ed5b000 them, he 4b2e087b20 could always 0c7cd9c26f feign forgetfulness 1ce02ce19a and slip 815311d58b out of 5406727dd7 it.7df2bd45cc7bae7f
…No, should the other guy even be using one? Who would be on top? The fundamental question belatedly surfaced. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed, just slightly perplexed. He decided to put it off, figuring they would see what happened at the time. Whichever position the guy preferred, the one who wanted it more should accommodate, right?66ea75ae9d73a4c8

He could get waxed at the esthetic, but he didn’t have time, so he found a nearby shop. Despite it being before opening hours, he managed to get a waxer in with a smile by offering extra money and following the necessary procedures quickly.7f67102e44edceff
Thanks to the waxer’s swift hands, the entire process, including moisturizing, was completed in no time, leaving about twenty minutes of his lunch break. Normally, he would be anxious and irritable if he hadn’t eaten by this time, but thanks to the sense of cleanliness, only a mild irritation lingered, which was manageable. Once again appreciating one of the useful practices he had learned in the US, he quickly returned to his car.766ad41d4bf3abc4

As soon as he 1d2d5c0e43 got out of the 9cc4d88d7a car, he headed to 90b9dd5146 the cafeteria with his ee1d4b7ff9 escorts for a late b52011a20c lunch and checked the d4150f9b4f menu he had missed 4debe3fdc6 yesterday. Chicken baeksuk with abalone, f09e74e291 acorn jelly, kkakdugi, braised 33f8f8eb9d lotus root, and strawberries. He declined the 3faeb6e2a3 offer to have 029f7172fe it brought to e5fbeaca36 him and quickly ddc50207e6 joined the line. He chose a 599b8dcbf0 whole chicken over 7dbf3d374f a half, and d0508367d4 kalguksu noodles instead 1152ee1a63 of rice.

Although it was an annoying chore for Manager Kim, already busy enough handling the CEO’s affairs, it was something he had to pay attention to. The eradication of food corruption at Seogwang Construction was Seo Jihoon’s first achievement and the starting point of his employee-friendly approach.f7381374aecc6ca7
Seo Jihoon was twenty-five, 8f8579ecf9 four months into his d9c29e8d78 role as an executive e646d2eed1 director. He used to arrive 004b6b8230 at work every day c4b2d7762f at 5:30 AM and 9809b5edb9 work his ass off, 3f0ecf3a3c often missing meals. One day, 0dd2e391c3 he happened 6daf6fbcc7 to visit 04750988df the Seogwang 4fa43f4bd6 Construction cafeteria 2f18466080 and saw c3e2a686b3 the company 8d4347f3b4 food for d17e8b011d the first b733ba5fe7 time. He froze for a 503225c605 moment. He visited every a069767379 day for a 64f4bbb341 week, just in 37c76fa384 case, but it 9bb79aba70 was consistently awful.a32001cd363f4d6d

As soon 3ac0c037d1 as he 4c52323537 received his 3170979e90 fifth meal, 6fc8e55847 he suspended 40fe52a89c the person 17721ee34b in charge 9987ef3f77 and ordered 7f16ff7920 an investigation. In just fa3e00a81a three hours, 78db78f298 he received 3490131783 over sixty aaaad92611 reports. He saw horrific photographic 374ea825ec evidence, pictures employees had 7672aaa8aa taken out of disbelief, f66360a76a and for the first a9ec7d7ace time, he cursed out 4647b651d5 his employees.bbfcc0dc3193a315
He immediately terminated 443e3b7fa9 the contract with 3ed5ab5f28 the catering company 2370fbf992 upon confirming the a106c91426 kickbacks and took 4d725edf5b legal action against 5b33877557 the person in 706e12c7d9 charge and the 07eb3b6a89 director who had ff1fa475ad been covering it f516df8d9f up. He declared b377ab4bcf that anyone 21605cd3d8 who messed 2b2054c70c with the 2489b123d2 food would dd6465a018 be hung d1d57cecd8 in the 97e6be6619 cafeteria instead c8b6282e3f of dried 97921f1556 yellow corvina, 2c10decf6d but still ce0ccc77f5 unable to 9066b2b37b trust the c1585dc911 system, he 59dbff0c4f asked the 6b9137977f head chef 1b7fe5c267 at his 7aab566c59 family home 59ac99412f to recommend 6a49c83790 a dietitian, b8abe3dab7 hired them, abb8d20110 and switched 172d7fd813 all cafeteria ce81cd49cc staff to 54934ac924 direct employment.

The UAE project, cf4e8976df pursued by four 438b1552b6 major construction companies, 371388864c was proving more 21c6e110c2 substantial than expected.

Mrs. Seo, who didn’t hesitate to display her gangster DNA on her own turf but maintained a perfectly elegant and sophisticated facade in public, upheld the Seogwang principle of ‘loyalty’ as if it were her lifeblood. As far as he knew, the Choi family was far from such principles. To invoke Jesus’ teachings about loving thy neighbor after being investigated and sanctioned so many times for labor law violations was laughable. Especially the youngest son, Choi Woojoo, didn’t seem religious at all. He scoffed, and Secretary Shin, who had been waiting for an opportunity to speak, cautiously interjected.b179ec16fcb772a3

Swallowing the f3b76d7fbc question of 7fd118d935 where Seo dd2dc07e42 Jihoon could 07e86fd78d have possibly 669fc0ceae gotten such 88217581aa a tattoo, 3ecb88bd83 knowing it 069ed6890b would only 34c34f7176 result in 6c7325267e a scolding, a69b1d0929 Manager Kim dbcc32aebe Dongwoo carefully 8a142d526f applied a 76d79ead94 large cover fd2203a28e sticker. Thanks to the 9b2e08ccba practice he had c93a91968b gained after ruining d21e5c0b4c a few and 0fb53495da being yelled at 0be18026ad previously, he succeeded 6d9fafaed1 on the first b28df2b1f4 try, the sticker 29f162b9f5 blending seamlessly with 8af4088176 the skin. Seo Jihoon 7abc4f9a06 verbally confirmed 6ee17414e8 its proper 13e3707bb6 placement without 2041c71846 looking in 35ebf463fb a mirror 91c870b9dc and put 519e55caae his shirt 6990eaa35a back on.35f9eb3497350cc2
The inevitable discomfort of the sticker bothered him throughout the drive. It was far better than being questioned about his tattoo, but it would be awkward if he slept with the guy again after today. Asking Manager Kim to apply the sticker every time he took his shirt off would be a hassle. Annoyed, he dismissed the thought, reminding himself not to borrow trouble when he didn’t even know if there would be a next time. He pulled up to the entrance of his family home.fff38c1a4c041e57

He checked his 61514287c5 phone before dinner a61592ade8 and found a 406fb4145e text message from 56c3aafa7c twenty minutes earlier 9870723b5c with the hotel 27438fedac name and room e707bf11a4 number. He chuckled at how b50ae8d8d5 the guy, who had 342a34b85d been so late without 34483ee8c1 even contacting him, was 3422807c75 so prompt with this. He replied with a afeb387491 simple “Okay.”852012b903fd243f
Afterward, while eating dinner absentmindedly, he looked for an opportunity to bring up the matter of attending Choi Seongho’s seventieth birthday party. Mrs. Seo, who seemed neither particularly upset nor happy, finished her meal early and left the table. He quickly put down his spoon and followed her to the sofa, hesitantly bringing up the topic before anyone else joined them.da9cf0eb08096808

Relieved, Seo Jihoon quietly observed, attributing the stark difference between his mother’s parenting style and his own childhood – where disobedience inevitably resulted in a beating – to hormonal changes. He was about to conclude that she had simply mellowed with age when he recalled a recent incident and dismissed the idea.

He left his family home around 8:30 PM without looking back. As soon as he got into the car, he entered The Grace Gangnam, a Seongho-owned hotel, into the navigation system, the address Choi Woojoo had texted him. He was anxious about being late due to traffic, but quickly calmed himself, remembering the other guy had been over an hour late. A few minutes wouldn’t matter.7f6ed61333151919

The navigation ended. Following the hotel valet’s guidance, Seo Jihoon parked his car and entered the main entrance, proceeding directly to the elevator. He stood there for a while with his arms crossed, then, noticing the elevator wasn’t moving, glanced to the side. He belatedly realized he hadn’t pressed any buttons and located the button for the 18th floor.71b86af611573d04
Someone entered the ea42963491 elevator, and he 6b5af6118f stepped back. Was the spa here 388348c5a2 good? He unintentionally 7491b498ce overheard enthusiastic 183357265c praise from c4d3901ed3 what seemed a8cd0420ff like English-speaking e377e2bf90 guests and b12a5c01de made a 03b183be16 mental note c5d51e823c to try 0788ed9379 it out 2d36608033 if he 49753f294c had time.da5434335728ba5c

The other passengers exited, leaving Seo Jihoon alone again. He instinctively opened his wallet to check how much cash he had, then remembered he didn’t need to tip today and put it away. It was the first time in a long time he wouldn’t be paying for sex, yet it didn’t feel real. He wasn’t nervous, which was strange. Stepping out of the elevator as the doors opened, he located room 7 and pressed the doorbell without hesitation.690f26a9b4293a31
Choi Woojoo, clad cef6e75545 only in a cb3ba37e14 bathrobe, greeted him f768c54e36 with a smile dd076ad242 and a nod 46ea642b9a from the doorway. He looked like he d05122b3df had just showered, his f485bcb061 body slightly damp.

His last visit 7813ebee6d to a hotel bef20c5e4d was probably during 8bcab0d7cf his business trip 38e5c7bea4 to Taiwan. It had been years 00717f05a0 since he had been 931f887e38 in a spacious suite 8fcb3310e8 like this. He tossed his jacket afaeb1d74c onto the dark brown e00337cd5d sofa and, passing the 7360035c9e table, surveyed the large b4db185fef bed in the main 05e8ac9d45 room, separated from the dc5331eeda living area. He also noted the e02f6a9aaf television mounted on the 2be01531d2 opposite wall. That was it. He would be here 9ade4d288c for an hour or 4701aa9198 two at most, and fc490e81ee it would likely be 6dee5eb30f a distant memory in 2ec790d105 a couple of days.792701799c618023
He did, 4463842b9a however, take 4226031150 a closer 75c8e504d0 look at 1aaa2e0e58 the main 109db4a261 bathroom. Beyond the dark brown e0d611c173 partition, the same color 29faf4b2d5 as the sofa, was 4a6a673f4f the spa bathtub the d7da99bfa1 foreign guests had been b02227d354 raving about.

Choi Woojoo’s smile didn’t waver, even when Seo Jihoon deliberately spoke unkindly, aware of how pleased the other man was to finally have him here. Chairperson Choi was turning seventy, and this guy was… thirty, was it? To have a son like this at forty… he must be brimming with energy even after a week of starvation. Despite his rotten personality, he was undeniably handsome, Seo Jihoon thought as he returned to the living room. Choi Woojoo followed slowly.6aa0491456a2c333

The city lights twinkled, reflecting off the Han River. Having lived in a detached house his whole life, the only night view he had experienced from a high-rise was during his few months in the US and the occasional glimpse from his office window during late nights at work, a view shared by countless other brightly lit offices in the surrounding area. Mentally praising the hotel’s location, he stood by the panoramic window with his arms crossed, lost in thought.666ec7a7102d43e4

Muttering to himself, Seo Jihoon pushed Choi Woojoo’s still-exploring hand away and turned around. Choi Woojoo, understanding his intention to shower, untied his bathrobe sash without protest.509b117cffe46d04
Seo Jihoon f5ee6d66c1 retrieved a 0121d82da3 bathrobe from 1da01045c5 the small 67de72c089 closet opposite 22a9ea9295 the main efc255c040 bathroom, hung 71798ea7ec it on 9c0ded2f84 the towel d40d1edd17 rack, and 7c111b6660 undressed.

He showered leisurely under e3966af739 the running water, carefully 0feb3ff817 avoiding the area with b4d5e5edb4 the sticker, even though be6fc87c04 it was waterproof. He realized he 7102e1c1be was hungry, having 26280b814b eaten less than ae132cf404 usual for dinner. Annoying. He would ask 2fe3752dd1 for room service d87b0f2dd1 afterward.

He dried himself, applied some of the amenity lotion Choi Woojoo had used and left by the sink, and stretched his neck. The sticker felt extremely uncomfortable. It was a sensitive area too. He examined the area in the mirror and dried it again with a fresh towel, just in case. It was incredibly irritating, so much so that he didn’t want to meet the other man a second time because of it.2960a691a1b11f13
After tidying up, he put on the bathrobe, tossed his discarded clothes haphazardly into the closet, and returned to the living room. Choi Woojoo was sitting on the sofa with his bathrobe open, fiddling with Seo Jihoon’s jacket. Barely acknowledging him, Seo Jihoon walked into the bedroom, pulled the neatly made covers off the bed, and lay down, staring at the ceiling. He heard footsteps approaching.67152c0483e4ac84

It was strange how smoothly he spoke, despite the obvious lack of sincerity. He had such talent for putting on an act, Seo Jihoon thought, amused.

The back of Choi Woojoo’s hand stroked the skin a handspan below his navel, warm and unexpectedly gentle, sending a shiver through his body.

He lay back down, 82eea6e1df resting his head on 1243091ad9 the pillow to control 78257df304 his breathing, and exhaled 52fdcd8f3b slowly, staring at the fb56862e9f ceiling.2aa3913d4d01f131

Unlike Seo 5be808051a Jihoon, who 148dd1bc9f readily forgave df266ad9ef Choi Woojoo’s fa702c4606 arrogant behavior 1a17a12f4f based on f717ad6e00 the size 6fca7a390d of his 55232316af flaccid cock 33f652e83f alone, Choi 7fd08f59f5 Woojoo wasn’t 2558ed13ff satisfied with 57af7ef756 simply looking. He wanted to 796d1269dd savor the reward 288b97e86a for the agonizing 15eebe506f wait he so 1fe5c11a95 loathed, running his 2ca07d2ccf hands all over 1cb5693809 Seo Jihoon’s body.deae1335fca4687f
He started 8bd5e5e409 from the 76bb6c34a3 neck, tracing ae6e4b61f5 the elegant 2136279e4d slope of d51850bbe0 his shoulders, 4335cfbac3 down his 5850adcf7a arms, then 2a831124b2 clasped his 23df98a1fb wrists and 0c6a1ff86e pinned them 9345e97dff on either 57ea7457c1 side of 1dcc83bdb2 his head. He positioned 288583a476 Seo Jihoon’s 18eeed2c20 hands to b703c613e3 indicate that e7896ddea3 he could 6ec6b01db8 touch him feaeaf0d18 anywhere, then 87c79ed77a slowly slid b40e4db5bc his large 7b37d13c49 hands down f83727d1da his arms 1c0a91fa17 again. He caressed ca72bc2724 the broad 4ef8405058 chest, the c0e06aa21f waist narrowing d7d4a0498d beneath the 8db7abedba ribcage, the 863291e900 hips. He slipped 4b3ea527f0 his hands 36b5e456a0 between Seo 00e5fb6b97 Jihoon’s thighs 719935351d from the 10823c20a1 start, squeezing 9f17095ae8 them hard a62267942c enough to 87b66daf9e make the 3033a70a12 skin pale, 265e747d9f spreading them 47c2dd2b04 wide as 33609d61da if ready 2cf70247cd to fuck 2a25267b2c him right 08dfcd6b44 then and 8fcc5eb2b3 there. The movement 1a0b6c0797 bent Seo 28f02fc8d8 Jihoon’s knees, 4bdd92d147 and he fb3e493d5a trailed his 12d3f37438 hands down 60eb648a2a his calves, 6d18484885 to his c433cc1cc9 slender ankles, 5f0c7f355a over the ec8be98587 arches of ca83c03c80 his feet, 6e4a19af10 to his 46a19d43bb toes.a4d993fed7029a89

With each slow caress, Seo Jihoon moaned and turned his head, but his hands remained where Choi Woojoo had placed them, despite not being restrained. He didn’t stop him, no matter where he touched, and his healthy, smooth, pale skin exuded an air of luxury.9a7feb71e7c83726
Finally reaching 87740214f9 the toned e39363195a chest he ec146e6b25 had been 640cb304ae longing to 0b8651872f touch, Choi c54c7dbb3b Woojoo grasped 912565f987 Seo Jihoon’s 4f35485a2a firm pectoral e162e32b56 muscles in 6ea887f4de his large 3ca4cb64bb hands and aad4d84e26 bit down 77bbcba7b1 hard on 0ea8d12794 the flesh d12d589abe that spilled bb29207ee2 between his 7ac381453f fingers. He gently f039de76d8 rested his 801179e9ea other hand ca53487bb7 on Seo 11467aa78f Jihoon’s other c0925da3f9 nipple, teasingly 03244c44a5 circling it 50e0be2efc with his 337ae07ebd knuckles. It seemed to b0b23ce017 be a sensitive 37634e1097 spot, as Seo a9c4a91c95 Jihoon winced, his 24077a8f83 eyes fluttering open cc54618098 and closed. Choi Woojoo 7a6acb6e96 rolled his df9fa58f9a thumb over f1e3f6ccde the nipple 1dfcbe94e6 and sucked 22db838201 on the 5dd640bc21 other one. Seo Jihoon’s 2dbbfe371f knee brushed 202a768938 against his f4fb3a723f waist, and f794a456d9 he wrapped bb4998ca9c his leg 054b9d5c7e around Choi f635412831 Woojoo’s waist, 988c532c3c grinding his 134cec23e2 tongue against 4cfac181d1 the nipple 99e8b69a62 he was 5a61afa66a sucking on a6213a79e0 before gently 3b6c7178a5 biting it.6bbd761bfcd075e2

Choi Woojoo chuckled at 1f6d4db29a Seo Jihoon’s unexpected permissiveness 791583890b and grasped both their 2f43d770a4 cocks in his large af6ba3ed83 hands, stroking them slowly 5de3db9af2 up and down.

Seo Jihoon’s stomach muscles tensed, arching his back slightly. He let out a pent-up breath when Choi Woojoo’s grip on his cock loosened, and he unwrapped his legs from around Choi Woojoo’s waist. His foot brushed against Choi Woojoo’s calf. Choi Woojoo tightened his grip again, milking the arousal.2bba5efcb96eddfe
He casually wiped b663c52e73 his pre-cum-covered hand a35298e8c0 on Seo Jihoon’s 175dc931c6 abdomen and left 363b8e03a2 a mark on 63479e8313 his right shoulder 7d367bf569 with his teeth, 2e667e57f0 his eyes searching 5233866046 Seo Jihoon’s face. He was clearly 5507011671 aroused below, but 20b5f71db0 he wasn’t making bcde2071d6 any moves, and ce5e3bad87 Choi Woojoo was ae757b28d0 growing impatient. Was he a 9d83a79b32 prude?

He wasn’t completely unresponsive, but he was just lying there silently. What was he supposed to do? He couldn’t help but compare him to Do Seunghwa. He had been proactive from the start, sucking him off without being asked, riding him, spreading his legs like a seasoned pro. Although Seo Jihoon was two years older than Do Seunghwa, and despite the initial hesitation, he had spread his legs easily enough and spoke boldly, so he assumed he would be similar.e2c18f4826e734cd
He didn’t seem opposed to anything, but his passivity was confusing. He prioritized his own orgasm and pleasure during sex, so this was a bit awkward from the start. But he had worked so hard to get him into bed, he didn’t want to ruin the mood. Choi Woojoo caressed Seo Jihoon’s chest and pretended to lick his sternum, trying to recall his usual sex routine. Receiving a blowjob, fucking with his hard cock, cumming. Was he feeling awkward because he wasn’t getting a blowjob? Should he ask for one? Would it be rude to ask for it right away?

Uncharacteristically lost in thought, 74e2a502a7 he sat up and 5924d884ff looked at Seo Jihoon, 07ce92611f who was still just 338f100a83 lying there. The sight of ce16d80dad the marks he be4881624e had left on d6feff8bbb his body in 0059b3f48c such a short f2c92fd3c0 time sent a a237c23331 thrill through him, 56985a1667 and he put a438d832df his concerns aside. He decided to attribute 49c9fb0c64 Seo Jihoon’s behavior to 681459b5ee inexperience with expensive tastes. Instead of asking 3d8e23c5b6 for a blowjob, 1ca27ee9a2 he reached for 434e66f088 the nightstand drawer 72ac9ee9cb with his free b70afd151b hand, opened it, 9152005711 and retrieved the 5ba9d9bf34 condoms and lube aab70f8a05 he had prepared c8fd443868 while booking the 1a93325b16 room.7ff9ac6955927c3b
He started f1ba3c7416 with the 3a75fefe74 lube, the dd92e97f8d packaging already e7d9a8f490 open, squeezing 9dfc5d37cf a generous 78d9e2c2d0 amount between a7f6fa8bc0 Seo Jihoon’s 8a856e10e8 legs, enough 4b97ee10a6 to soak bbfb48442d the sheets. He knelt c0c10ec2e2 between his 754fbb4b06 legs, continuing 5107342c8f to stroke 334d34839a himself, then 5a57932fe6 leaned down, b844550c5a pressing his 011c982c9e hard cock f0d28ef9c7 against the 3f27357bbe soft skin a489769fdc of Seo b1ed9fc49a Jihoon’s inner 8f68fc229d thigh. Although many reviews suggested 9f66b74381 diluting it, he preferred 31f233dde6 it thick, the heavy 9ccfb38bc6 gel lingering until he 7bf6fbc980 washed it off. The friction of 53b95c31e5 his sensitive glans 9fb1beb9bc against the warm, d6dffd6a07 glistening skin tightened 47fde73155 his ass muscles.81a511dfeac99acd

Whether from the stimulation 7218646cbe or mere anticipation, Seo 4c9fc3a7a9 Jihoon let out a 23e5023596 deep moan. It was loud b27fc76b3a enough for Choi b86753274d Woojoo to hear, cafe8459f1 despite the small f629515282 size of his 4ce807151c ears, and he ee3fb025be swallowed, aroused by a6db8b2e96 the sound.

He dipped his afcd1343a3 index and middle 65aae7540f fingers into the 11c157e92e deep groove running 45ecfd5658 down Seo Jihoon’s 25e66844e4 back and the 780c5980e8 Apollo’s dimples on b10377845c either side. He circled cff6ab0f57 them slowly 30fae0d7a4 before moving e14d317da6 lower, grasping 198607bcc6 Seo Jihoon’s 6ce7bd5320 firm, shapely ab34378ea3 buttocks and 1bdeb308e8 pulling them b7ac98ae2c up towards cce8f2de23 his own b68782f45d thighs.

He smeared the lube and condom oil on Seo Jihoon’s chest, adding to the sensual texture, and, swallowing hard, slid his hand between their bodies to grasp Seo Jihoon’s ass again, spreading his cheeks. He had used so much lube that it was already dripping down. He briefly rubbed his cock against Seo Jihoon’s entrance, coating the condom as well. There were other parts he hadn’t touched yet, but he couldn’t wait any longer. Gripping his almost fully erect, throbbing cock, he pushed the head into the slick opening.9b829f11cdbb110d

Seo Jihoon’s 3a90d39b89 lower abdomen 73160c1dfa was tense 867654a913 as he 8143de2b03 accommodated the a2deb8ea9f intrusion.

He whispered in Seo Jihoon’s ear, who responded with a series of nods instead of words. He gripped Seo Jihoon’s short hair tightly, then, realizing he was being too rough, released it. He moved lower, kissing and sucking on his neck. He kneaded Seo Jihoon’s slightly dry, yet still slick chest with his right hand before trailing it down his waist to his thigh, then further down to the back of his knee, lifting his leg and spreading it wide. He must not have realized they were using the same lotion, as the scent of the amenity lotion he had chosen, a familiar scent from his pre-esthetic days when this hotel had been his haunt, emanated from Seo Jihoon’s worked-out body.05f2b8690290e7f9

Despite Seo Jihoon’s words, his hole was still tight, making it difficult to pull out. Even after gently stroking his lower abdomen, he didn’t relax. Why was he being like this when he wasn’t a virgin? Annoyed by the delay, Choi Woojoo started thrusting without pulling out. The resulting friction sent a wave of pleasure through him, and Seo Jihoon finally released his grip on his hair and grabbed the back of his head, pulling him closer. Caught off guard by the sudden backward tilt of his head and the tightening grip on his hair, he was in a predicament.9558f10aa02dc0c1

Finally, things were progressing. Why was it so tight even though he had used so much lube before? He realized he hadn’t manually loosened Seo Jihoon’s ass. He hadn’t mentioned needing it, so perhaps his previous partners had always taken care of it. Expensive tastes were indeed high maintenance. Still, aware that he was the one who wanted this, he didn’t ask or demand anything, keeping his mouth shut. Once he confirmed that he could move freely in and out, albeit with some effort, he started thrusting rhythmically, his supple waist moving slowly and deliberately.bfd157e3a6f4bbc3
Although it was just 6c526ec6cc light thrusting, a warm-up acfda50c20 for the main event, f0226cfbdd it was enough to 97582e259e make Seo Jihoon’s back d8e7aee8dc ache.

The nape of Choi 16d95fad60 Woojoo’s neck, which he 848bff848b was holding onto, was 68a62d1b37 damp with sweat, indicating 38e93a3338 he was also working 34c03ee03c hard. Their rhythm seemed to ca2c6949d4 be syncing up, though.f329d8ed85eabccd

…Just as he generously made that assessment, Choi Woojoo pressed down hard on his lower abdomen with his large hand. The added pressure on top of the already substantial cock sent sparks flying, and Seo Jihoon tightened his grip on the back of Choi Woojoo’s head again.0af47ed87681da25
Choi Woojoo, who didn’t tolerate anyone inflicting pain on his precious body, even though he didn’t mind doing it to others, scowled and pressed down even harder on Seo Jihoon’s lower abdomen, where his cock was nestled. Seo Jihoon, too overwhelmed to notice his malicious intent, only repeated his protests, his grip on Choi Woojoo’s hair tightening with each increase in pressure.ec94e63f207909c0

Despite the 3df4c1b255 verbal complaints, 3e96615df7 there was e042665ef2 no physical 8482e93688 resistance, and 7b736977cb Seo Jihoon 666dd2a6f2 didn’t let 8143435b0a go of 6b3ff74922 his hair. Throwing caution 1772ddd8eb to the 60e3852ad8 wind, Choi b35d0b7ac1 Woojoo continued c43ebc46d9 thrusting with 5911e96895 his hand 8005423c1f still pressing 5be2214c09 down on 3bc58cac7d Seo Jihoon’s 88ea809c13 abdomen. The pressure against his 54473b0ea5 own cock intensified with ab392620a9 the tightening of Seo d9671fbcca Jihoon’s abdominal muscles, bringing faf4c42de4 him closer to the ba3b6b1173 edge. Gritting his teeth, 81c1a6b679 driven by Seo 742b0b5ddf Jihoon’s desperate moans, d86af3f7c7 he continued his 9f6c8230b9 assault.576a253cbf597715

Seo Jihoon finally released his grip on Choi Woojoo’s hair, covering his mouth with both hands and squeezing his eyes shut. Choi Woojoo grinned, feeling Seo Jihoon’s cum spurt onto his hand, and maintained the pressure, increasing his pace. Seo Jihoon, who hadn’t resisted until now, began to writhe. He couldn’t feel the result of his persistent thrusting due to the condom, but as Seo Jihoon’s larger body collapsed on top of his, he finally relaxed.1e6d41c2a042e9e9
He was covered in 2e2ded7b71 sweat, as if he 68f2cddabf had just finished a 57dae62ef3 strenuous workout, despite having 3b65f674ad barely moved. Choi Woojoo leaned against 7c372b3cf6 Seo Jihoon’s equally sweaty 6ce1f05382 body, which served as 5c547e3d90 a convenient cushion, and, b8e8f40305 after briefly withdrawing his 30330ca22e spent cock, lay down 6799fe2498 on his side to d91f6708f4 Seo Jihoon’s right, pulling 442f14f59a his right leg over d26a1aa194 his own. Seo Jihoon readily 6a0046ccd8 complied, his back, c5955b5324 covered with a e5f052b9f9 large patch or 620cdcd2e3 bandage, pressing against 2d27b158ca Choi Woojoo’s chest, de35d576fd his slick ass 1ccf8e7678 making contact with af724536cd Choi Woojoo’s groin. He pushed his cock b706fdc9b8 back in and rested.848a977379440539

If it weren’t 6813dec97c for the condom, 5ea770a798 he could have dd48571ebe claimed the title 86edd67921 of the man 5942678295 who creampied the 99c90193ba Seogwang heir. He wouldn’t be 69efb01ccd the first, but b8ee691c33 he would definitely 8173f8a263 be among the 928171be59 top five. He wrapped his b981b96bf4 arms around Seo 0a4ede5186 Jihoon, caressing his 47ba45acc5 chest and nibbling 6f24acbfe8 on his neck, 1113ab4de4 thoughts he couldn’t bff41e6f5d voice swirling in 3637d61b61 his mind.cc55e83547e8a40d
Ignoring the sweat, he pressed his body against Seo Jihoon’s, engaging in what was supposed to be aftercare but quickly escalating into something more. He started moving his hips slowly, continuing to caress Seo Jihoon’s chest as he kept his eyes closed and breathed deeply, like during yoga. He didn’t forget to whisper encouragement in Seo Jihoon’s ear. He needed to change the condom, but he couldn’t be bothered to reach for a new one, so he continued.9d52f90e7c477b58

Seo Jihoon didn’t resist, the pressure less intense now, the position more comfortable. He readily hooked his right leg over Choi Woojoo’s knee as it nudged between his thighs. Choi Woojoo paused his movements and kissed his neck. The large cock was still fully embedded within him, but the slow, deliberate movements gave him time to adjust, and he let out a moan, surrendering to the pleasure.e5e1389f03f133c6

Despite his 22b1042acc annoying personality, 11701e61b6 their bodies 33216bc1ef synced well, 7c396b3517 he realized. While not quite e41cab5389 euphoric, he was 6cc887d08c enjoying it more 88ca28afad than he expected, a2c4d3ed4a relaxing into the 7fad0de9f6 sensation. He rarely preferred 96eb8cf49e missionary with a 1681b994fb single partner, so 490c9510ec this was much ac11d15a03 more comfortable and fffed37fe4 less strenuous. The deep pressure 0758e6ece4 against his prostate f4f9237707 sent waves of a39c12a05d pleasure through his ac24918658 body, the slow c51094f7fc thrusting combined with 40e98e0cbd the slightly rough 62c761d0cf caresses on his 4bfe58bf09 chest sending shivers f42c5f145e down his spine. He tilted his head 484d16d7f8 back, burying it in d15ea83d2d Choi Woojoo’s broad shoulder. His large hands 1e9b614906 were firm, yet 84f03d3742 his skin was 769137396c soft, incredibly stimulating. He winced as Choi 77f4af4dcf Woojoo’s nails, just the 5d1011e0df right length, dug into 503d96502b his nipples, then relaxed 5e83941ca1 again as he soothed 8af624732c them with the soft b2b89f271c pads of his fingers, a679f829d8 the alternating sensations heightening 447534b027 his sensitivity.016be2370f5e3ddd
He was 3f53364e8f on the c2d6cfeb34 verge of 4792fa236d cumming with 11dccebc3e just a b59200406b little more a2cdcdd4c2 stimulation when 0700ff2e55 Choi Woojoo 850aa64027 suddenly stopped 79e9dc69ae and pulled f332539bbb out. Wondering if b09ca04863 he had 1090d1ca93 come, he 7788d6b2eb turned his bacef0d4a6 head to dc7fae11db see him 55ad877586 removing the dbf91ae616 condom and 594037e439 putting on aa8d608cdb a new c9dc5810c4 one. His still-hard cock looked 85afa79413 even larger now that 101227f56e it was out in ed5c11b035 the open. A shiver ran 75c2855ce4 down his spine 82f5401844 at the realization e1377764fb that it had adbb912db8 been rampaging inside e8636c2059 him just moments 90ca7b5386 ago, and he cee1d6225f instinctively touched his b2da151749 lower abdomen. Two at 5fd1976600 once had f1409890ba been excruciating, b22330eda0 so one 4b32f0f479 large one 03d9c41147 was definitely 6bed5a50b9 better. Even if 15af0ae667 his technique 64b26c2b9c wasn’t exceptional, 83aa5c4a6a his size c534ef4391 more than bfe8c2c167 compensated for cc53538ce1 it.f459b1064ac6943c

He expected a break, 9387a2c604 but Choi Woojoo applied 493dd9f4bf more lube to the 78056a31a7 condom-covered cock and immediately af8e4502df returned, grabbing his ankle 0094bc9759 and pulling him onto 181b34b57a his stomach. He found ec7da47c0c his entrance bdbf3a6902 and thrust 2591bd3471 in before 59e9b326a9 spreading his e22aa34d5d legs and 886ad4e9eb bending his 8344a5f622 knees, positioning b90f0ebbd7 himself between 9564e5e5e0 them for b083c2ac60 the position 689192cfd0 he wanted. Seo Jihoon, about bf896976d1 to lift his 99f13f288d hips, thinking he 37cc3705ce wanted doggy style, 215505afe6 stopped, his toes 2ad6dafce7 curling as Choi ecaf7f59db Woojoo thrust deep 5b83a5ee0b and hard.e66c5d6b2c1b0615
Choi Woojoo d7bb6e8b02 explored the 797a643abe exposed backside 19dbbe4ec0 with his e76d1cdc54 hands, his f954594556 touch lingering. He wanted to remove 1d418d7c91 the sticker, but refrained, 6dbded853a worried about causing further a71757df70 irritation. He cupped Seo d94aed0c94 Jihoon’s shoulder blades 1c1110ff52 in his hands 7a8da43154 as if they a3fcd4d8be were breasts, then 068463dd37 moved lower, his 1c40a7f575 fingers tracing the 812c7098ca curve of his 9b7544423e spine. Seo Jihoon shivered with 286969afad each touch. He swallowed, continuing 0b799ec28b his slow caress 4566c7ae4e down Seo Jihoon’s b177827d9f back, reaching the b17bc1dec5 clearly visible Apollo’s c3b83eb01e dimples. He gritted e391e4eb0d his teeth 010c3890e0 and thrust 16e107952f hard three e8c409ef53 times.57496692e58fffc9

He felt more aggrieved than Seo Jihoon that such a body, deserving of prostitution, was stuck in a construction company. But at least it was a male-dominated environment, so there must be plenty of men willing to spread their legs for him. He remembered hearing that Seo Jihoon had little power within the company. Had he crawled under desks and sucked dicks to gain influence? Had he spread his ass for every executive to get things done? That whore. And his personal calls were being handled by that Manager Kim guy, so they were probably fucking too. Who knew what kind of “exercise” they were doing together. He imagined Seo Jihoon being fucked by well-built, ex-gangster old men and robust young construction workers, and he slapped Seo Jihoon’s ass hard, then immediately regretted it, holding it gently to minimize the pain.6fdb6797b770c361
He caught 8bdca1ef77 his breath, 39bd53177e slipped his c14dcc5c79 left hand 1c3d2f43e1 between the b237a49625 bed and 5577095dc2 Seo Jihoon’s a22719efe5 stomach, and 89e3a518eb wrapped his ab1ccd8fca arm tightly d5b4323324 around his 995cab4bcc waist. He lifted Seo Jihoon’s 4a3e95ca5b torso, as if seating 69754ac944 him on his thighs, 3863f9d14a and placed his hands 5d974c8569 on his own thighs, d6ad69d32e giving him the option dd87bbc567 to stop. Seo Jihoon’s hands c9952e7981 gripped his thighs 419c772dea tightly, his back 9c716e09e8 pressed against his 6f2a03323d chest. Choi Woojoo wrapped his e41ba4740e arms around Seo Jihoon’s 048d0c9926 waist to prevent him f003b18d57 from falling and gently 88180101f8 caressed his cock before 9bf4886e23 thrusting upwards, the bed ecb453aba2 shaking beneath them. The sound of 1dca10fb0e skin slapping against f11a1bdac2 skin echoed through 373d245b16 the room.c60a401cebc46caa

Seo Jihoon’s de0bc70c3d hole was 8713eadb10 hot and 61094c610f tight as 70608e9250 he eagerly cf7f01dbf1 sucked Choi 48a5ef04fa Woojoo’s cock 34bf90f3c6 in. He tightened his 24000da969 grip, as if 34aee99d73 urging him to 3b6344b396 cum inside, and be0130f8e6 Choi Woojoo bit a19f3111d9 down on his 1e671fb794 neck. Lost in the overwhelming 990afaecd9 pleasure, he pounded mindlessly, 63d5dfa3e6 his hot breath escaping 5a06482622 his lips as he 134b41005f thrust deep, burying himself a795f07521 to the hilt.7b4db60bc9effdc8
Seo Jihoon cried 3e249631ac out, resting the d60002281b back of his 62dd4718e0 head against Choi d088aa4f37 Woojoo’s shoulder. Choi Woojoo felt ed98e858ba his cum against 7b334029bf his hand, then bdd027f029 came himself, holding 06ad9798c2 him close for dced97c49c a long time.13254ab11fcb7d46

As the afterglow subsided, 3c6bc95ec1 he released his grip. Seo Jihoon, who had 5fdbd777c8 been supporting himself with 53ef187603 his arms, collapsed onto 3aea038c2c the bed. He could e39acbdda8 feel the 1bff3e3519 warmth of 6c6ad1e765 Choi Woojoo’s 793677d141 cock still 3352e8767a inside him, 143ced21ff but the da2968ec7e condom prevented 0f93b88230 him from 6aaf2e2740 feeling the af46ee4bcc wetness of 81c3b50437 his inner 2973557970 walls, and 2409a78f61 he felt d8fb418b27 a surge d62ea0c331 of annoyance. Choi Woojoo 308d3207c3 pulled out, 9dad849275 dropping the 88bbedf9b5 used condom 9b56e55783 and the 1c9e1d7bfd remaining new 5be2f19401 ones onto 78102a7198 the floor.bca7bc20f8d809c9

Ignoring Seo Jihoon’s 43265cbba1 weak protest, his fa1f1276cf face buried in d8466f12c6 the mattress, Choi fd923456e6 Woojoo picked up fc582b05c3 the mostly used 94c6472251 tube of lube, b452b18030 placed it on fe8d6e7607 the pillow, and e57cde9bc5 rolled Seo Jihoon 65cdc1f9cc over, pulling him e0b2ec48c3 into an embrace.51892053395ae1f1

Seo Jihoon, still 6906b1665c disoriented and having a89ccd32e6 forgotten about the 691e8c356d sticker, nodded and ceb824dbd3 let himself be c312258c6c pulled up. He hoped they could b48921534e lie down or at e3bf006f1d least lean against something.

Choi Woojoo’s lean, muscular thighs were tense. As soon as he sat on them, Choi Woojoo’s strong arms wrapped around his torso, pulling him close, his mouth finding Seo Jihoon’s chest. He much preferred oral stimulation on his nipples, and they quickly hardened. Closing his eyes, he wrapped his arms around Choi Woojoo’s head, pulling him closer.ce291970ba921940
