IBPC | Chapter 4.2

He was a half-brother to Heegon. Given that Kangmu’s maternal lineage occasionally produced Eumins, Heegon couldn’t be sure Kangmu wouldn’t recognize Seoyul for what he was. This made him even more cautious around Kangmu than he was around the Emperor.

Fortunately, today, although Kangmu and Seoyul had briefly crossed paths, it seemed Kangmu had only sensed the scent Heegon had deliberately left on Seoyul. Judging by Kangmu’s calm demeanor and hidden smile, he hadn’t figured out Seoyul’s true nature. If he had, he wouldn’t be able to maintain such a composed expression.

Heegon carefully observed Kangmu’s expression before finally opening his mouth.

“Yes, he’s someone I’ve taken in.”

“…….”

“So, don’t get any ideas.”

Heegon’s response drew a clear line, signaling Kangmu not to ask further questions. Satisfied with the answer, Kangmu smiled slightly.

“It seemed like you didn’t have anyone in mind before……”

Kangmu’s smile wasn’t mocking or teasing. Instead, it carried a sense of relief and genuine happiness. Though there was a hint of playful teasing directed at Heegon.

“I’m glad. It seems you’ve finally found someone who catches your interest.”

Normally, Heegon would have scolded Kangmu for smiling at him like that. But now, Heegon simply felt relieved at Kangmu’s usual demeanor.

Honestly, when Heegon saw the two of them together on his way back after sending Heerang away, his heart had raced, and it had been difficult to calm down. He, who rarely showed any agitation, had been deeply affected.

Hiding an Eumin in a place filled with alphas was harder than he had thought. Heegon was reminded once again that Seoyul was a fragile flower, easily broken because of his uniqueness.

⊹₊⟡⋆

A large bathtub made of fragrant wood. Seoyul scooped water from it and washed his face, letting out a long sigh.

Heegon’s bathhouse. With Heegon’s permission, Seoyul was the only one in the palace allowed to use it. It was the one place in this unfamiliar and uncomfortable environment that Seoyul genuinely liked.

He had always enjoyed bathing, and the warm water in the spacious tub made him feel incredibly relaxed. The court maids poured expensive oils and decorated the space, making him feel pampered.

“I can wash myself now. Why don’t you just wait outside?”

But there was one thing that bothered him. Seoyul glanced at Dubo, who was standing behind him in a waiting posture. Dubo shook his head with a look that said, “Not a chance.”

“If I leave you alone, I’ll be scolded. Please stop saying things like that.”

Was it really necessary to be watched even while bathing? …Well, at least he wasn’t being bathed by the maids like before.

Seoyul turned his back to Dubo and leaned against the edge of the tub. He enjoyed the languid feeling of his body submerged in the warm water. As he did, he thought back to Heerang and Kangmu, whom he had seen earlier.

Tae Heerang and Tae Kangmu.

Heerang was Heegon’s only younger sister, right? There’s quite an age gap between them. That must be why he dotes on her so much. Their mother, the Empress, had passed away, so it must be bittersweet for him.

The problem was the Fifth Prince, Tae Kangmu. To think I’d see King Samun in the flesh. He’s even more handsome than his portrait.

But originally, after Heegon’s death before being crowned Crown Prince, Kangmu would take his place and succeed King Eulsa. But if Heegon avoids death and becomes Crown Prince, wouldn’t that change history?

Wait, isn’t this… a much bigger deal than I thought?

Thinking about it, Seoyul realized he might be stirring up a much more complicated whirlwind of history than he had anticipated. His heart grew heavy.

“This is really bothering me.”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Seoyul muttered to himself as he submerged his body up to his chin in the tub. While he was lost in thought, the sound of the bathhouse door opening and closing reached his ears. A cold breeze seeped in, and Seoyul spoke without turning his head.

“Just Dubo is enough.”

He thought the maids had come rushing in again, insisting on bathing him, so he tried to send them away.

“Leave us.”

Instead, a low voice responded, causing Seoyul to flinch and lift his head, which had been half-submerged in the water. Turning around, he saw Heegon entering.

Heegon gestured for Dubo to leave, and Seoyul, flustered, tried to stand up but quickly realized he was completely naked and sank back into the water.

“Why……?”

Seoyul pressed himself against the edge of the tub, trying to cover himself as much as possible. Heegon, who was approaching the tub, began removing his outer robe.

“Wh-what are you doing?”

Heegon didn’t answer, simply stripping off the rest of his clothes. Completely naked, he stepped into the tub. The water sloshed and swayed, mirroring the turmoil in Seoyul’s heart.

What’s going on, why…….

Seoyul’s heart began to race, and he held his breath. Feeling it was too much, he cautiously tried to stand up, turning his back to Heegon.

“I… I’m done bathing, so I’ll just go—”

But as soon as Seoyul stood, Heegon wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him back.

“Whoa……!”

Seoyul stumbled and was dragged back into the tub, landing on Heegon’s lap.

Splash, water splashed up as Seoyul fell back into the tub. He sat on Heegon’s knees, drenched.

Seoyul wiped the water from his face and looked up at Heegon in confusion.

“Why are you doing this?”

Seoyul stared at Heegon, bewildered, and tried to push Heegon’s arm away. But Heegon only pulled Seoyul closer, bringing his face near.

“When we first met, didn’t you cling to me?”

Heegon’s words, whether a joke or not, caused Seoyul’s face to flush bright red.

“That was because we were both in heat—”

“Exactly. That’s why I’m telling you to always be careful.”

Heegon stared intently into Seoyul’s eyes, his hand reaching up to brush away the water droplets falling from Seoyul’s wet hair onto his cheek.

“…….”

“…….”

As they faced each other, Seoyul felt that Heegon’s gaze was strangely hotter than the water in the tub.

Why is my heart… racing like this?

Before Seoyul could finish the thought, Heegon pressed his palm against Seoyul’s back, pushing him closer. Then, Heegon’s lips moved to Seoyul’s shoulder, where droplets of water still clung.

Soon, Seoyul’s trembling breaths filled the steamy air of the bathhouse.

Seoyul bowed his head, his face flushed with heat. He tried to take a deep breath, but the warmth inside and outside his body made his mind hazy.

“Ugh…….”

Seoyul reached out and grabbed Heegon’s wrists, which were gripping his chest. Heegon, holding Seoyul from behind, squeezed Seoyul’s chest, which was damp and soft.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Even though Seoyul’s body was lean, his chest had a slight swell, enough to fill Heegon’s hands. The smooth skin and the hardened nipples that stood out were particularly pleasing.

“Hng… stop there…….”

As Heegon kneaded Seoyul’s chest and occasionally pinched his nipples, Seoyul’s body twitched. Heegon bit Seoyul’s earlobe and let out a rough breath.

“Should I stop? Even just touching your chest makes you this excited.”

Heegon’s gaze dropped to Seoyul’s erect member, which was standing tall even in the water. Seoyul, feeling that gaze, immediately crossed his legs to hide it.

“That’s… not it…….”

Even without seeing Seoyul’s embarrassed face, Heegon could tell. He couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh before moving one of his hands from Seoyul’s chest downward.

Heegon’s fingers trailed down Seoyul’s waistline, reaching the cleft between his buttocks. Even in the water, Heegon could feel how wet and ready Seoyul was as he slipped a finger inside.

“Ahh—!”

Seoyul’s high-pitched moan echoed briefly in the bathhouse. At the same time, Heegon’s finger moved inside, stretching him.

Perhaps because of the warm water, or maybe because Seoyul’s body was particularly heated today, his insides were much softer and more welcoming than before. Heegon felt that he wouldn’t need to prepare him for long and released Seoyul’s earlobe.

“…….”

What came into view was Seoyul’s trembling back. Among it all, Heegon’s gaze lingered on Seoyul’s nape, which looked almost transparently pale. He licked his lips.

It’s strange. This boy said his nape was a weak point. He told me not to bite it, saying it could be dangerous. Yet, why do I feel the urge to sink my teeth into that slender, white neck every time I see it?

Heegon struggled to suppress the desire itching in his mouth. Instead, he bent his head and bit down on Seoyul’s white back, near his shoulder blades, sucking hard.

“Ngh… ah…….”

Seoyul’s body twisted as Heegon’s teeth dug into the sensitive area. Heegon pressed down on Seoyul’s chest to keep him from squirming further and continued to bite and suck on his back.

“St…stop…….”

When Heegon felt that Seoyul’s lower body was sufficiently relaxed, he pulled his fingers out. His hands then gripped Seoyul’s waist, lifting him up and turning him to face Heegon.

“Hng…….”

Half-melted in the hot water, Seoyul turned around with half-lidded eyes, guided by Heegon’s hands. But Heegon placed Seoyul’s limp body on his thighs and positioned his own member at Seoyul’s entrance.

As the tip of Heegon’s member touched Seoyul’s entrance, Heegon pushed Seoyul’s body down with force.

“Ahh…….”

With Seoyul’s already wet insides and the help of the warm water, Heegon’s member slid inside easily. Or rather, it was more accurate to say that Seoyul’s body swallowed Heegon’s member from above.

Seoyul’s hands gripped Heegon’s shoulders, while his other hand clung to the edge of the tub. As he twisted his waist slightly, Heegon’s member filled him completely.

“Ha…….”

Seoyul threw his head back, familiar enough with the pain to endure it. He had learned how to relax and how to move to accommodate Heegon’s imposing member.

“Ngh…….”

As Heegon watched Seoyul riding him, he bit down on the inside of his cheek. The shadow he had cast over Seoyul’s face was now replaced by the shadow Seoyul cast over his.

Heegon gripped Seoyul’s hips, watching his collarbone deepen with each labored breath. He began to move his hips, rocking Seoyul’s body up and down.

Seoyul, who had thrown his head back, now leaned forward, resting his forehead against Heegon’s shoulder. He began to move his hips in rhythm with Heegon’s thrusts.

“Ah— it feels good…….”

Soon, a melting moan escaped Seoyul’s lips. As he moved, he could feel Heegon’s member thrusting inside him, and the intense pleasure overwhelmed him. Seoyul moved his hand from the edge of the tub to grip Heegon’s shoulders with both hands.

“Haa… ngh…….”

The dizzying sensations running down his back made Seoyul twitch incessantly. Each time, the walls around Heegon clenched as if in a spasm. Heegon, too, breathed heavily, pressing his lips against Seoyul’s shoulder. He noticed that, unlike the heated lower half of Seoyul’s body, his skin had grown cold.

Heegon licked Seoyul’s skin with the tip of his tongue and lifted Seoyul’s head. The splashing water and Seoyul’s trembling body came into view. Among it all, Heegon’s eyes fell on Seoyul’s nipples, which he had tormented earlier with his hands. He turned his head and took one into his mouth.

“Suck… ngh……!”

Seoyul gripped Heegon’s shoulders even tighter. Heegon’s shoulders turned white from the pressure, then red.

“Haa… ha, Your Highness—”

As Heegon persistently sucked on his chest, Seoyul bit his lip, as if begging him to stop.

But Heegon showed no intention of stopping. Seoyul, unable to endure any longer, grabbed Heegon’s face and pulled him up, pressing their lips together.

Heegon waited for Seoyul to clumsily lick his lips before reaching out to grip Seoyul’s chin. He held it firmly and pushed his tongue deep into Seoyul’s mouth, skillfully and thoroughly exploring it.

“Ngh…….”

At the same time, Heegon wrapped an arm around Seoyul’s waist. He thrust into Seoyul more roughly and rapidly, causing the water in the tub to splash chaotically.

“Hng… haa…….”

Overwhelmed by the force, Seoyul finally turned his head away from Heegon’s lips. He wrapped both arms around Heegon’s shoulders, burying his face in Heegon’s chest as if clinging to him. Almost hanging onto Heegon, Seoyul began to sob and plead.

Before Seoyul could finish his sentence, he shuddered violently. He stopped moving for a moment, then his entire body began to shake.

“Haaah…….”

Seoyul’s tightly clenched lips swallowed the breath that threatened to escape. He came in Heegon’s arms.

“…Haa.”

Heegon also stopped moving, waiting for Seoyul’s trembling to subside. Seoyul trembled for a long time, unsure of what to do, before finally slumping down. As the tense sensations that had run through his body faded, Heegon gently stroked Seoyul’s cold back.

“Are you alright?”

Seoyul, too exhausted to speak, nodded weakly a couple of times. Heegon then wrapped his arms around Seoyul’s limp body.

“Shall we continue?”
