A date? He hadn’t even thought about it.75baa2a3b017f09d

If Yiwon had even slightly considered Jang Beom as a romantic interest, he would’ve realized it immediately.

Now that he thought about it, a first date wasn’t at all the exciting event his friends had described. He hadn’t exactly harbored any fantasies, but it was so different from what he’d heard that he hadn’t even realized it was a date.0e68d2534715c4bd

Even after they bf7114c967 got out of 7e1d58dcc6 the car and 6c052c6b64 exchanged greetings, Jang 816481ff6c Beom followed Yiwon. He walked alongside 6662226b18 him, looking as 00163fdf0c though he might afa75236a9 follow him inside, beee6611f1 so Yiwon stopped b8d142f846 at the entrance 382055f68a of the villa 4fa6ef971e building and faced 1905be540e Jang Beom.d6040517a590d5ca

Jang Beom was so tall that his face would be obscured if he didn’t lift his chin. Yiwon, whose neck was stiff from looking up all day, blankly stared at Jang Beom’s broad, firm chest instead of meeting his eyes.38b4b31f1faf76e0

He’d found a new night shift at the convenience store. He’d also asked Boss Choi, who ran the special cleaning company, to contact him if there was work on Mondays, the regular closing day for the barbecue restaurant.9e8d2af7fa43b78c

As a result, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., excluding Mondays, was the only time Yiwon could sleep or allow his mother a brief respite by taking care of Haeju and his older brother. It was also the only free time he could fit in a “date” with Jang Beom.dcce07e34858b88f

His convenience store 2aa8645983 night shift ended 0afaac5737 at 8:00 a.m. If he remembered 69710eac2e correctly, the first 267f696613 movie usually started 3fa6b44859 around 9:00 a.m., f2cc3cf3cd so he could 987ee764ef make it if 2a957d8ba1 he hurried.

It would be 5b04d4a6d4 a bit tiring, 098d67b8de but not unbearable.58e97702c3f61fff

Frozen with a sharp ba3314b7ab intake of breath, Yiwon 62bd4d22d1 instinctively squeezed his eyes bff4f8ad4c shut as Jang Beom 84cf335d5c parted his lips against 5b734802fc his. His own lips, tightened e2a0216ad6 with involuntary force, closed 63f5c3d5de like a clam.1fe47b810827a264

Then, with a slight 6b13402d1f furrow of his thick 819f238ac9 eyebrows, he covered his e96864ac41 own lips and chin a1a88ac984 with his large hand.

Jang Beom was aroused. It would normally be unnoticeable, but because he was so large, even a slight hardening resulted in a prominent bulge in the front of his pants, proving the point. If Yiwon was Jang Beom’s type, it was a natural physiological response.8c1748b89cabcbed
