Kijung’s hand, which had been resting on his wrist, did not fall away unlike the first time, but slowly went up his forearm and over his elbow. His body flinched slightly at the slow contact, even though he tried to endure it. When the hand stroking his arm reached his shoulder, Kijung quietly opened his mouth.

“Turn around.”

Forgetting even to breathe, Seoyoon belatedly caught his breath and stood with his back turned. It was just a matter of checking his body, but not being able to see his face made him even more nervous.

“Take off your pants too. Even your underwear.”

Seoyoon, who had been obediently following Kijung’s instructions, paused involuntarily at those words. The shame of the past night, when he had to sit on a low sofa table and spread his legs under the guise of an examination, reflexively made his heart shrink.

That time, it had been a hotel room with just the two of them, but this was a small shop with no other customers to distract them. Even now, a skilled tailor would be waiting outside the fitting room for them to come out. Kijung couldn’t be unaware of what Seoyoon knew, yet he calmly urged him on.

“What are you doing? I said take them off.”

“There are… people outside.”

“What does it matter? This is a fitting room, and you have to take them off anyway to change clothes.”

He was about to say that wasn’t what he meant, but he closed his mouth, realizing that he wasn’t saying it because he didn’t know. He moved his hands to take off his pants, but his movements couldn’t help but be sluggish.

After a moment, the man who had been watching Seoyoon from behind seemed to realize something and let out a short exclamation, “Ah.” A snicker followed, brushing past Seoyoon’s ear.

“I was going to do an examination, but it seems Seoyoon-ssi wanted to play.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“I’m just trying to see how the bruises are, but what are you thinking about all alone that’s taking you so long?”

He felt the man behind him stride closer, narrowing the distance. Seoyoon shrank his shoulders and swallowed his breath. Kwon Kijung bent down, his lips almost touching his ear. His voice, demanding, was low.

“Take them off quickly. Your master is ordering you.”

“Hngh…”

Before he knew it, a hazy sigh escaped his lips. Kijung’s hand fumbled at the waistband of his pants.

“Do I have to take your clothes off for you myself?”

“No, no. I’ll do it now.”

Seoyoon pulled himself together and quickly moved his hands. Kijung continued to whisper.

“Be careful. The clothes aren’t completely tailored yet, so they’ll tear if you’re not careful.”

Nodding, he frantically took off his pants and underwear. As if the moment ago when he had refused because there were people outside was a lie, he was instantly naked, and as Kijung’s footsteps chased him, he was slowly pushed to face the wall.

The hand that had been stroking his arm now lightly stroked his exposed buttocks. It wasn’t a particularly lustful touch, but rather like touching porcelain. Nevertheless, the stimulation that his sensitive skin received was different from usual, and Seoyoon swallowed a voice somewhere between a sigh and a moan, and tried to put strength into his trembling waist.

“The bruises are almost gone.”

“…You said it was okay to put the medicine on my buttocks, so I did.”

“It looks like it’s about time you got spanked again. It seems like Seoyoon-ssi wants that too.”

“No, I…”

“You have to even if you don’t want to. You have a lot of punishments that were postponed from last time.”

The hand that had been gently stroking suddenly tightened, squeezing his buttocks, where the bruises hadn’t completely faded. The sudden pain and the unavoidable sensuality created by the situation assaulted Seoyoon.

“Ahngh!”

“Quiet. There are people outside.”

The low laugh was openly mocking Seoyoon, who had been so fussy about the people outside. Kijung’s remaining hand rested on the wall in front of Seoyoon.

Trapped between the wall and Kijung, he felt suffocated, like a prisoner who had completely lost his escape route, even though there was no need for it. The touch that had been dry, like feeling an object, had become more viscous, and his exposed buttocks were now being caressed in a way that was almost an outright caress. The sticky touch climbed up his waist and chest, pressing down on his nipples.

“Mhm, hngh.”

Seoyoon bit his lip and desperately suppressed the confusing sensations and shame. A dull moan continued to leak from his closed lips, and his thighs began to tremble slightly. Then, Kijung’s voice tickled his ear once more.

“Don’t go around stimulating people carelessly. I’m not particularly impatient, but I don’t like holding back.”

The protest that he hadn’t stimulated him couldn’t escape his lips, as always. Was it his imagination that his breath seemed to have become slightly rougher? While Seoyoon was gathering his swaying vision, the hand that had been lingering on his buttocks moved away.

Unable to turn around freely, Seoyoon stood facing forward, catching his breath, when Kijung’s next instruction came.

“There are no new scratches, so get dressed. Unfortunately, there’s not enough time to go any further here.”

It seemed the ‘examination’ was finished to his satisfaction. Seoyoon slowly turned around. His face felt like it was burning up. His body, which had only partially heated up, felt foreign, as if it belonged to someone else.

The feeling of being watched as he walked around naked or picked up the clothes he had hung on the hanger, every trivial act, made his throat feel hot and heavy.

Yes, time spent with Kwon Kijung could never be peaceful. The unexpected moments were difficult and unfamiliar, but he had to think that the pain meant that he hadn’t lost his interest, so he should be grateful. Wanting to quickly escape the state of being the only one naked, Seoyoon hurriedly put on his clothes.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen you wearing it. Bright colors suit you well.”

“…Thank you.”

The voice that gave thanks for the unwelcome compliment was as sunken as if he had just finished crying. Kijung continued without seeming to care.

“The navy shirt in the photo you sent me on Thursday was also good. Your neck is long, so it looked good even with a slightly higher collar.”

Kijung approached without hesitation and raised his hand over Seoyoon’s head. Seoyoon flinched involuntarily, but he only ran his fingers through his disheveled hair a few times.

While Seoyoon blinked a few times, he looked down at the head below his line of sight, as if checking the condition of his pet’s fur, and then gestured lightly towards the door.

“Let’s go now. We still have things to do this evening.”

When the fitting room door opened, the tailor greeted them with a smile. He seemed to have been tidying up the clothes, and he approached and asked politely.

“Was the change of clothes comfortable?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

While answering as if nothing had happened, Seoyoon couldn’t look him straight in the face. He didn’t seem to suspect anything had happened inside the fitting room, but he couldn’t be sure if he really didn’t know or was pretending not to know. Ever since they had entered here and gone through the fitting, the tailor had been acting like an assistant who perfectly understood the relationship between Kwon Kijung and Han Seoyoon.

“We will contact you as soon as the production is complete.”

“Contact Chief Yeom.”

“Yes, please take care. Thank you as always.”

After the final greeting with Kwon Kijung, the two left the tailor shop. Since there would be no bill presented to Seoyoon later, it was as if he had received several clothes at a price he had never imagined in his life. But Seoyoon wasn’t excited or happy at all.

“Why does your face look like that?”

Kijung, who had gotten into the car, asked without even looking at Seoyoon. Seoyoon, who had been sitting in the passenger seat staring blankly ahead, was startled and straightened his posture.

“My face…?”

“You look depressed. Was it uncomfortable to have your body examined in the fitting room?”

“…I was just a little surprised because I’m not used to it yet. I’ll be careful not to bother you.”

The car started. But Kijung didn’t start right away and continued to speak while the car was parked.

“We’re going to have dinner at a restaurant that an acquaintance recently opened. It hasn’t started operating for general customers yet, so it has a relatively private atmosphere, but it’s still a place where quite a few people who are in the know gather.”

“Yes.”

“What we have to do there is show people what it’s like for two people who have just started dating to enjoy a date. There are many eyes watching, so the rumors circulating among people will become more solid, and then the situation that Seoyoon wants may be created more quickly.”

Kwon Kijung smiled after finishing his explanation. The man, who looked like a sculpture made of iron when he had no expression, quickly changed his impression with just a faint smile, but smiling didn’t mean that the steel could be warmed.

“So smile. Like we’re a happy couple.”

Seoyoon, who had been facing Kijung without saying anything until then, slowly relaxed the tension in his eyes and raised both corners of his mouth. Looking at him as if he had finally met the person he had been waiting for for a long time. Trying his best to imitate the ‘person in love’ that he had only encountered in books, paintings, and movies.

He was prepared to be criticized, but Kijung’s smile was surprisingly satisfied. He finally moved the car forward and said.

“Good job. Just smile like that when you arrive at the restaurant later.”

“Yes.”

“Wouldn’t I feel wronged if I’m working hard to accommodate Han Seoyoon, and you’re just feeling depressed?”

“I’m sorry.”

It wasn’t just lip service, it was sincere. He had said that he liked him because he was pretty when he was being beaten. Whether that was a joke or the truth, he was fortunately still holding Kwon Kijung’s interest, but Seoyoon thought that he was a playmate that he could replace with someone else at any moment if he wanted to.

Accepting the condition of acting as his lover, which could be felt as presumptuous, could be dismissed as the entertainment of a bored third-generation chaebol. But the sincerity of visiting Seoyoon’s house on the same day he fulfilled the promise to greet his adoptive parents, or reserving a restaurant to show people their relationship like today, was something that Seoyoon couldn’t dare to expect.

Apart from the fact that the unexpected and difficult situations were embarrassing, he couldn’t deny that the way Kijung treated him was more meticulous than he had imagined. Why was he doing this for him? He couldn’t bring himself to ask, and he was looking at the now completely darkened road when it happened.

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know that? Seoyoon can’t keep his hands still when he’s worried about something.”

Seoyoon closed his mouth and released his clasped hands. He became docile, feeling like a student who had been reprimanded for his attitude in class, and then cautiously opened his mouth.

If he avoided answering because he was embarrassed, he might be caught and punished later. Now Seoyoon was gradually understanding the way this relationship worked.

“Were you hesitating because you wanted to say thank you?”

“Why? Are you worried that I might actually fall for you?”

“That’s not exactly something to worry about…”

I don’t think so. Seoyoon, who had almost answered honestly without thinking, trailed off.

He had never expected it or imagined it, but if Kwon Kijung really felt affection for him, he realized at this moment that he had no intention of refusing.

“Not something to worry about either?”

Kijung laughed softly and asked back. Seoyoon didn’t answer, but he didn’t feel the need to hide the calculation that had been caught.

Kwon Kijung was literally a man who had everything, and his whole family desperately wanted him to be Seoyoon’s partner. Why would he feel uncomfortable with his sincerity when he had been desperate and clinging to a single blind date? This was neither shameful nor strange.

“When I told you to tell me what conditions you wanted in exchange for accepting my offer.”

Whether Seoyoon’s words, which had popped out wrong, were just a joke that was no different to Kijung, he took out the answer to the question without any other comments. Seoyoon also seriously looked at his sculpted profile.
