Soohyuk had to visit the National Security Agency today, so they had planned to skip the dungeon raid. But when Soohyuk insisted, Minjun couldn’t refuse. When an S-rank hunter offers to carry you, you follow quietly.25cd4c11b5fb7702

After ending 884a3dbf04 the call, c1fc9c0a6a Minjun threw 3242cf8a37 on a 3d8d7dd90b coat and 89a288f96c left his 3644da84be room without bcae0607f2 much preparation.

Soohyuk offered the chocolate to Minjun. Originally, he had thought about buying a nice watch to put on Minjun’s wrist. But like cars, watches are a matter of personal taste. If he bought just any watch, it would likely end up unused in a drawer.5dc44bc273bd5629

At that e90b31d065 thought, Soohyuk 09d6b0695e decided he 4d65244dce needed to a6bf3784ef take Minjun 30bf868685 shopping for d3945364e4 clothes later. Minjun, who had f71fc74745 no interest in 0b19d44595 fashion, always wore 96db2f0f45 black T-shirts and 9513c9316c black pants. Despite having 5b45f08ae4 a face d9fdba1806 that could 4a29399f4f pass for 0106d31002 a celebrity, 946f96009f he seemed 2c256b145d to have 3b90261dfd no interest 5f52ad9491 in dressing 559eddaf1f up.f7e9862c6dd826db

Minjun, who had been rustling with the packaging, offered a piece of chocolate to Soohyuk. The dark chocolate was bite-sized. Without thinking, Soohyuk opened his mouth and bit down on Minjun’s fingers holding the chocolate.416fb7ed524523d2

It was only after making a light joke that Soohyuk realized he had acted strangely. Biting someone’s fingers was something you did with a close friend as a joke, or with a lover. But he had never done that with either close friends or lovers before.80711bcdcfb2eb86

Minjun and Soohyuk had sex three times. Yesterday, he even sucked his cock. He had never imagined putting a man’s cock in his mouth, but once he did, he found it incredibly arousing. They had rolled around in bed, skin to skin, so they were definitely close. Maybe that was why he kept acting on impulse.b5f525a45f5cc8d2

At a 40a5c2eb0b red light, ea87393127 Soohyuk glanced 2ee6768619 at Minjun 4677078e2c sitting next 855ba35866 to him. Minjun, no longer bothered 9f4ea88031 by having his fingers aba45556df bitten, was chewing on 70c1325e9f a piece of chocolate.6549a0da2aeeb92f

Minjun had declared he wouldn’t put his mouth on Soohyuk’s cock. Maybe that was why Soohyuk’s eyes kept drifting to Minjun’s lips as he chewed the chocolate. As memories of last night surfaced, Soohyuk cleared his throat and tried to focus. Just then, Minjun offered him another piece of chocolate.b801ee34caff9f95

Dungeon raids were the f308790a66 core of the hunter a8465f557a industry.69a795fcfdcd283b

Hunters closed or cleared dungeons to secure a stable supply of magic stones and prevent dungeon breaks, contributing to humanity’s peace and prosperity. Of course, there were various other reasons hunters entered dungeons: to get used to hunting monsters, to obtain specific materials for crafting magical items, to aim for a second awakening, or simply because dungeon raids were more fun than hiking.47805291fd1a6454

Soohyuk didn’t join their conversation and instead focused on Minjun. The topic had shifted to the sand shade Minjun’s spirit had created. In the middle of the scorching desert, he had erected sand pillars and made a canopy to provide shade. Normally, it would collapse, but the earth spirit was maintaining its form.ae78982d58946b19

He had a lot of affection for Minjun as a person. But if asked whether it was romantic, it was unclear. He wanted to treat him well, but beyond that, there wasn’t much else. He wondered if he was just confused because of the sex.a92813be14562b89

After mulling over f259d4d8d7 it for a 4a5d963ff9 while, Soohyuk looked b1dc42abf1 at Minjun, who 4e8d835d79 was smiling.

Soohyuk cut Minjun off. Both Kim Nayeon and Minjun looked at him with frustrated expressions, but Soohyuk remained firm.
