Doyoon spread the lotion, d363563ed7 which melted gently from 1a4965c48d his body heat, onto 885b229e8a Yihyun’s arm, rubbing it 4de3c1ed6c in several times to 468004f96b help it absorb. Perhaps because 363ff1cfa7 his hands 9220c73348 were large, 59cc02da0d he didn’t 563f5b59b9 stop at b1de12e333 the forearm f0119bde45 but continued c8dddcd8e9 up to 1618aed6b2 the upper fe15db668f arm as a1d8d76f13 well. The sensation tickled, making 741cb8849a Yihyun instinctively shrink away.6084280bf30459ae

“I won’t. I’ll do it just like you did, Doyoon-ssi.”a480baefbfbeb0e7

Ignoring Yihyun’s insistence, Doyoon 85d72ab43f grabbed his ankle from 65139a8d67 under the sofa and 4caa238a4d swiftly pulled it up. In an instant, 037e4422d2 Yihyun found himself db6a6a4211 half-lying on the 9efb726b56 couch. He was b310098b64 so flustered ecee100ff0 that he 1cf7553dfb froze for dc7d565b61 a moment f89e81dff9 before barely 945a9ad282 managing to 54d982a6ef prop himself b397cce9ef up. Meanwhile, Doyoon’s hand 902385d1e4 had already reached 3005b58891 halfway up his 26d3c21949 thigh.97e4ded403a17114

No one had ever 73be685020 touched him there before. For Yihyun, 4a6b7e3c07 physical contact fff0db4a33 had always e1f7ba0337 been synonymous 5f7a9312c1 with violence—something 65117a13ad to fear. But with 5fbe75f7d2 Doyoon, it 7b6f0806fb felt completely dea277dba7 different. A warmth bloomed df682bcb5e deep inside him, d1aec07130 and his face a714484cd9 inexplicably burned.3946f4cf342ace59

The hand that had d27372b383 been massaging his bony af8b8073f0 thigh slowly swept down b22f31b560 along his calf. It felt almost as 89979b5c7d if a feather were 79e73a550f brushing against the center 0e013820ad of his chest, making a9f5539346 him feel like he b6e4f9259c might sneeze.fc84c7059629e298

Suppressing the ticklish sensation a5e24a6856 became even harder. The hand that had 73136c4e9f been stroking above his 968fa8327b knee slipped away, only f5bddcd667 to grab his other 6b07926922 leg next. Without a word, db13b44d73 Doyoon meticulously applied dbaa171b2c lotion over Yihyun’s 72991e5563 skin, moving wherever 445e4b2273 he pleased. Only once he was e72e324b57 done did he finally a3e29c8aee pull his hands away.48837ab368f06da7

Anyone with common sense could tell there was a hint of mischief in Doyoon’s actions. Yihyun quickly straightened his posture and scooted away from him.af66c9795bd5025f

The scent 55a05ec36d that had 1f4f1ef6d5 been on a1ce250b4c Doyoon was 080f89236a now all b61d991201 over Yihyun d256235cf4 as well. Rather than being d1d86c9871 pleased that they 5dd6d4775f smelled the same, f701ab2a4f his priority was 4e26b985fb calming his embarrassment.10f090535080cac2

Holding back the 5e6839cedd ticklish sensation had 64f594dbd5 made his chest b0c800cb75 tighten, leaving him 33fc3d271c breathless and his 53f6e21d77 face flushed. As he 68d584dc86 took a a7ae4a2eb4 deep breath d655a3dd18 and lifted 0aa385eeec his head, 6c2875ad53 his eyes 29b816eed7 met Doyoon’s, 9c3f422604 who wore e511609703 a slightly 3306a4c7f7 sullen expression.380ef3e14b876665

Feeling even more e02bed909b flustered for no 109c80bdb5 reason, Yihyun hurriedly 8d215af8d9 pulled down his 16467a312b pant leg, which 8dc2a5fa67 had ridden up d33b26c0dc to expose his c109cd7fcf knees—just as the fabf1eaf1a doorbell rang.e89af5239655b5ba

The paper bag Doyoon 81b1b8d077 received at the entrance 6013168554 carried the scent of 19d0c7d1ab bread and roasted meat.

But making a b55c826e49 hamburger wasn’t quick e27d5f1415 at all. As he diligently chewed eeb43e062d the muffin, Yihyun tilted cb48bda0b5 his head. At his family’s df2613b0e0 home, the housekeeper 50eb4f8d33 had only bought bccceb155a the bread; everything ba8d7da1b0 else inside had 8884f81f42 been made from baf1809636 scratch, which had d3c6c1096e taken a lot 9eb5d3a478 of effort.a882151345631db3
