“You can stay the night. I have a guest room, pajamas, underwear, and a change of clothes. It’s going to be a little big.”

“You have all those?”

“Think of it as a vacation home that you only use on weekends. Wash here. I’m going to take a shower.”

Soohyuk walked into his bedroom on the second floor and opened the door to the bathroom. Both a towel and a shower robe were ready.

“Are we washing together?”

“No. There are bathrooms elsewhere. Why would you… No. I’m going to wash up outside.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s get one thing straight. I mean you, can you really do it with a man?”

Minjun looked at Soohyuk as if he didn’t know what that meant, but it had already been said before.

“I told you before, I can do it.”

“You said it’s your first time, you might think differently when you try it. As in, you might get scared.”

In a low voice, almost a whisper, Soohyuk leaned in close, so close that Minjun had to glance up at him. Minjun felt a little resentful. Before he was fused with the spirit stone, he had been bigger than Soohyuk.

‘You have long eyelashes, by the way.’

As he got closer to the face, he noticed that Soohyuk had very long eyelashes, and he also realized that the composition was strange.

“You don’t feel anything?”

Minjun tensed slightly as his breath was almost touching his cheek. Soohyuk smelled like a mixture of strong alcohol and body scent, but that didn’t matter. He couldn’t tell if he was nervous because Soohyuk was an S-class hunter or because of what was about to happen.

Minjun asked, not taking his eyes off Soohyuk, who was looking down at him.

“Are we going to kiss?”

“Can you do it?”

“Yeah, but I’ve never kissed before, so I don’t know if I’d be good at it.”

“I see.”

Unable to hide his smile, the man kissed Minjun on the cheek. The touch of his full lips tickled, and Minjun craned his neck and shoulders.

“You‘re not even closing your eyes?”

“Do I have to close them?”

“Maybe you should close them this time?”

Minjun didn’t close his eyes when the lips that had been whispering near his cheek touched his. Instead he became as frozen as ice. He thought nothing would happen, but his breathing caught in his throat.

Soohyuk, who bit his lower lip slightly and then released it, said very seriously.

“You’re stiff.”

“… Because it’s my first time. But I didn’t hate it. I wasn’t disgusted. Um, it was good.”

Minjun said honestly. It was just a light touch of their lips, but it sent a chill down his spine and made him a little excited.

“Good. Wash up and come out.”

Soohyuk smiled, curving the corner of his eyes and disappeared out of the bedroom. Minjun rubbed his lips where Soohyuk’s lips had been, then went into the bathroom.

Normally, he was the type to shower quickly, but today he washed every nook and cranny with great care. It was awkward to put his clothes back on, so he threw on a shower robe. He organized his clothes on the coat rack where the shower robe was hanging, and then hung it up in the right place in the bathroom’s adjoining closet.

When he left the bathroom, he saw Soohyuk standing in the middle of the bedroom in a shower robe. His wet hair covered his forehead. He looked a few years younger than when he sported his neatly combed style, he’d thought once before.

“Come closer.”

Minjun set his phone down on a nearby table and obediently walked over to Soohyuk.

“Should I take it off?”

“…Not yet. Let’s kiss first.”

Soohyuk grabbed Minjun’s cheeks with both hands. This time, Minjun stiffened, but Soohyuk didn’t let that stop him, and their lips met. The lips, still soft, didn’t part as quickly as they had earlier. When Soohyuk licked his lower lip with his tongue, Minjun involuntarily clenched his fists.

“Open your mouth.”

“Open?”

“That’s how you kiss.”

Minjun parted his lips and his tongue slid in. The feel of the hot tongue was strange, to say the least. It was as if he was holding a hot jelly in his mouth.

As he fumbled with his hands, Soohyuk’s tongue probed his teeth and licked the inside of his mouth. At first, it just felt ticklish and creepy. But when Soohyuk’s tongue licked deep into the roof of his mouth, he reflexively tried to push him away. The extremely tough man did not move a single inch.

Luckily, Soohyuk stopped kissing and pulled his lips away.

“Why? You don’t like it?”

“Oh, it’s not that… it is a little weird.”

“You do the same. Kissing is something we do together. Same goes for sex.”

“I see.”

Minjun wasn’t ashamed of being an inexperienced prude, but he still felt a flutter in his stomach and impulsively leaned in close to Soohyuk and kissed him first. It was awkward for the first time, but he pushed through. He licked his lips and pushed his tongue through the parted lips, just like Soohyuk had done. Then he could feel Soohyuk’s body stiffen against his.

The pleasant sensation lasted only a moment. Before he knew it, Soohyuk’s tongue had taken over his mouth. He instinctively intertwined their tongues and pressed their lips together. A damp sound echoed through the quiet bedroom.

“Mm…”

Minjun was embarrassed as he let out a suppressed sound in his throat. With each breath, the tension subsided and his pleasant excitement slowly built up. He hadn’t expected a kiss to feel this good, and while a part of him wondered what the hell this was, his body moved honestly. He wrapped his arms around Soohyuk’s head and sucked his tongue deeper.

What started out as a light kiss became more and more intense. Before he knew it, Minjun was being dragged along by Soohyuk’s every move. Minjun’s breathing slowly became ragged and he couldn’t do anything but gasp. He tried to pull his lips away, breathing through his nose, but Soohyuk was relentless.

Suddenly, Soohyuk pulled Minjun into his arms. With his lips pressed against his, suffocating him, Minjun realized why hunters couldn’t date normal people, and it was the same for S and C-classes.

‘Please spare the C-class.’

Minjun gasped and pushed Soohyuk away, but this time it wasn’t enough.

“Mmph.”

He tried to force his lips away, but Soohyuk’s right hand grabbed his neck and chin, making it impossible. Minjun ended up biting Soohyuk’s lips painfully.

Only then did their lips part.

“Ha- ha…”

Withdrawing his upper body, Minjun exhaled loudly and clamped his hand over Soohyuk’s chin and mouth.

“What is it?”

“I- I can’t breathe.”

“You can breathe through your nose.”

“Even if I breathe through my nose- uh.”

Minjun didn’t get to finish his sentence because Soohyuk licked his finger. Soohyuk lunged for him, kissing him again. The kiss wasn’t as urgent as it had been earlier. Instead, it was tender and explicit. His hot tongue licked deeply inside. He held his tongue again and sucked it.

Every time that happened, Minjun trembled. At the moment when he was grumbling internally, asking why he was so good at kissing, a bulge touched his lower abdomen.

Soohyuk was excited.

He could clearly feel Soohyuk’s arousal from the close contact of their bodies. He had never seen anything like this before, and he couldn’t think of anything except feeling strange.

Minjun, who was flinching back from the force of the push, realized that he was lying on the bed. Soohyuk, whose body was half overlapping his, continued to shower him with kisses. The sound of his breathing and tongue tangling disturbed his ears.

The strap of the shower gown Minjun was wearing was half untied and the hem of his robe was wide open. Minjun was about to deliver a knee kick when Soohyuk slipped his hand between them and grabbed his thigh.

“Just now… what were you trying to do?”

“I- I was going to kick…”

“And then you would’ve gotten hurt.”

“I know.”

Minjun, a C-class hunter, could destroy a bed with a single kick. But if he kicked an S-class hunter, he’d break his own leg.

“You almost got into big trouble.”

Chuckling, Soohyuk’s lips touched his brow, his cheek, his jaw, his ear. Unlike the soft kisses, Soohyuk’s hands slid across Minjun’s flat stomach and grabbed his chest.

“…”

Soohyuk’s lips met his as he let out a small groan.

“What do you think?”

“What…?”

“You want to kick me again?”

“… It is fine, but can you please get your hands off my chest?”

“You don’t like it?”

“It’s not that… it’s a little weird.”

Minjun replied with a frown. Everywhere Soohyuk’s hand touched felt hot, like it was burning, and he didn’t hate that. In fact, he liked it, but the feeling of the nipples on his chest being pressed was extremely strange.

“Is it because it’s your first time?”

“That’s not… ah.”

Minjun made a face as Soohyuk pressed his thumb firmly on it, as if on purpose.

“Don’t…”

This time, he couldn’t finish telling him not to do it because his hard fingertips were scraping his nipples. Thinking that this couldn’t go on, Minjun reached out his hand and pushed Soohyuk’s face away.

“You’re sensitive.”

“… That’s why let’s stop. You don’t have to touch my chest during sex, right?”

Soohyuk laughed as Minjun, whose face turned red, narrowed his eyes and snarled. At first, he clearly wanted to prove that he did not drink. So he cornered him on purpose.

He was glad to make Minjun gasp with just a kiss. And looking down at Minjun’s face, which had turned bright red, he felt really bad.

It had been a while. After he became a hunter, he couldn’t find a lover. When it came to dates, he had to count them in years. So he completely forgot what it felt like to kiss and touch bare skin.

“Okay. I’ll stop touching your chest.”

Minjun detested Soohyuk, who was smirking and taking his hand off his chest, that he wanted to hit him. Still, he didn’t avoid touching his lips.
