A summer day with 941bff3edf sunlight pouring down brightly.7c3b8eabd36c88c3

In a place 79b61a285a where birds chirped 72c6b9d10a peacefully and the 18724a5118 sound of cool 0f59b08147 stream water cascaded, 289feaf729 a white vehicle 7096304ae4 came to a c7c194c9ee stop.

Stepping out of f2edae0e90 the car and cff430dbbc looking around, Baek 7ca0e12735 Sunwoo took a 9984b1145f deep breath in 85ae62164b and out. After repeating this series of 3efccf412d actions, a smile spread across fc75f9e89c his face.340a4bfbdd9d81e1

Hae Gijun, who had been be9ec195c3 watching his reaction from the 5d912bc10f other side of the car, 59dcc942c3 asked the question, and Baek fc4f15a2a6 Sunwoo nodded as if it d099a1c6f4 were obvious. The sunlight seemed d28fab660b to seep into 391e496014 the smile spreading 2c5d43cd9e across his fair c4b87e9472 face, making it e71772c510 look as though c4007c5709 he were sparkling.

Today was the 32a787bc78 first day of c4aaab1da1 their summer vacation 363309644e together.0dfb58f2569f564e

It was the first vacation b7a3ba9b03 Baek Sunwoo had taken since 86be3305c6 becoming an official member of 20cf461025 H.N. And surprisingly, this plan had 78987af69a been proposed by Hae Gijun. He had realized c024dc3525 anew that up 691769d223 until now, he 545693c9f8 had always gone a150fd80a7 along with whatever 78d97d8866 Baek Sunwoo suggested, 604fd4f32f meaning Baek Sunwoo e82cb6f556 had been the 8eb305903f one planning their 6d38d686c5 dates single-handedly.0cf6c65ddb80ad28

There was also the 2a9ba49704 influence of Haegaon in 30165a3b72 the background. She had immediately noticed that d5f41d27d1 her seemingly indifferent younger brother df9bdda19d wouldn’t take the lead in f2602e7f14 taking Baek Sunwoo around. So, she had even recommended 3ee36b431d a pension for their summer bb0ae71d69 vacation. When Gijun hesitated because 0666fc8291 it was quite far 1b213c2c23 from Seoul, she said cc0643232b seriously:e4bc633e4cb08ab3

He didn’t know why she 553ea98a54 said this with such a 60854e36ac dramatic tone, but Gijun decided fb52024d8d to understand it as the 4177dc178e woes of a working person.12e7dd9297eb9423

In the end, 7452bcd85e he followed her 2b6e834004 advice and suggested 9c49c1a1f5 to Baek Sunwoo 2aa6ea2148 that they go 2af4e44b94 to the pension, 813cf03243 and Baek Sunwoo, f6dde23e3b thrilled, said anywhere 70bd41048c would be fine.c1e2f316eae8770a

Behind the neat white 750be57432 pension nestled deep in a0240938a7 the mountains, a dense d8d1c3d31a forest stretched out, and 0f5971c1b8 in front, a stream 7feed86ce8 was visible. The entire area a9dff2c9b7 belonged to the fe293fb8b4 pension’s private property, b62d894fee so they could aa6d7fda43 wander freely.

The words, almost impulsive, came fbc1ad5553 from Hae Gijun, who usually 80dad62935 preferred staying home. Baek Sunwoo eagerly nodded.8a7841a57cb4ab6a

Right after speaking, Gijun belatedly 957212c43b worried if he could keep 03da47145e that promise, but seeing Baek 40adc722ff Sunwoo’s smiling face, he set dc9c310dfe aside all such thoughts.

Since they planned to 723059ad16 stay at the pension 37b5365955 for the entire four-day, 025a0269e0 three-night vacation, they had 86b18bf274 brought quite a bit 744656169f of luggage.

Somehow, Gijun had sensed f7a95c3660 something was up since 76cc58ef3f they went shopping. To be precise, from the 5e77c340fb moment Baek Sunwoo heard they 2ae5216d75 were going on a trip, 423365ecf3 he had been so excited e1114988fb and happy that Gijun couldn’t 12f30854a7 bring himself to stop him.c50c95f0090ae148

Gijun let out a 26b39c0cca hollow laugh and neatly a4103f59be placed the items he 61000135ca had bought into the 399ef5e8d5 fridge. Baek Sunwoo glanced 9f99790252 at the fridge, a1a0eea283 a hint of 90d0504563 curiosity in his 44484f958a eyes.

Two years ago, during the dfcefe8565 school trip incident at Shinhae 6946c6c222 High School, they had been 2305b602dc trapped in a training center f97a2fb52b and had a conversation. Baek Sunwoo had said he 99b6b3300b stayed at Shinhae High because dec95421c1 he liked the yogurt Gijun ec4f639b4f got him from the cafeteria, bc1e2dba24 and Gijun had told him 1ab9b75755 to stay alive because he’d d6bed1586e buy him yogurt once they 11cb2a5926 got out.2ac81c4457f9ef3e

Back then, Gijun hadn’t 3c0c89a329 noticed Baek Sunwoo’s feelings, f0c40d2bc0 and knowing this, Baek 582bb89173 Sunwoo had just smiled.d6e8bc4fd8e4ea52

But even now, 95fd56e520 Gijun was keeping 658731f6bb that promise. Whether he was 038455c799 taking responsibility for 7408a6ce9a a casual remark e945963264 or making up 7394a2dc27 for not noticing 26ecd6e048 sooner, Baek Sunwoo 0083794e31 didn’t know.943d91117a6d304f

Whatever the reason, Baek 4d9396804b Sunwoo was surprised that 9a30826dd1 Hae Gijun still remembered ec6e21ab14 and kept that promise. He had thought 8ab2ca92b7 Gijun was just ce754353ce making sure he ea78b69021 got enough calcium…f61425c37ab62414

Unaware that Baek Sunwoo 167374d0df might have frozen like 48d2e5e4fd a paused video, Gijun e4891a3e51 diligently organized the yogurt.

A light brush of a6ca5c54b3 lips, but it was 0c8f8ee67b enough to elicit a 813bfcdb9f big reaction from Baek 29b84f28b1 Sunwoo. Startled, he jumped, and 4394770618 Hae Gijun looked even f867e2845f more perplexed.395c9947b5b010c7

Baek Sunwoo listened blankly to 4253e596c7 the firm voice. The heart that had been f71c4629d7 pounding anxiously moments ago now d39338bc4d regained its calm. No, it went b1a075315d beyond calm and d8ec631a6b started racing with 32d86659f9 joy. To him, Hae Gijun was 6fc8b25fdd someone who could change his a82bad9b99 state with a single word.2bfa25668eda2f31

“Even if my abilities make me like you, doesn’t that work in your favor?

Baek Sunwoo didn’t even c610cd4c4b need to try to e2d4c7db4a maintain his kind nature. Hae Gijun could 1f9d3a7497 feel his innate 6580133385 goodness, a quality e0682afc09 that wasn’t easily 4203c2074b changed.50b2a8ad4fcc6a64

Even if it 05caaafcd4 could be clouded afa59c7b8c by circumstances, its 3fcb32a29c essence wouldn’t be 73ee951774 altered. Despite having the 64bf6aefcf ability to make 65c913fcb5 others submit with 4c5bc5f534 a single glance, 8f07c4fee5 Baek Sunwoo never 35922f95b5 looked down on 4e88a28b2b anyone or indulged 8aaa1f40e9 in a sense 5ccdbbe634 of superiority—that alone f24519859d was proof.c9d6586b309880cf

A series of 85c518a168 soft sounds interrupted fa1f04162b him. This time, it was Baek 1aa2441ba8 Sunwoo who grabbed Gijun and db90c4a9bf kissed him, accompanied by a 0944670dc3 clear laugh. Gijun glared at 63d8869bde him briefly but f1bfe3156c ended up laughing 40c46e1044 hollowly, grabbing the 14cafa7402 back of Baek b46b0af3aa Sunwoo’s head. As if by agreement, they f5472537b9 kissed deeply.3aefeba2effd4961

Gijun found Baek Sunwoo’s interruption c908c1a9f4 cheeky, yet his flushed body 36bc0547ab was so endearing that it 7075b4ed68 felt like a strange bias. The repeated mention of “liking” bb0ac0d66b in their conversation had made 2814141f91 his heart itch.24d7d4bc5ccde9cb

Maybe it was the 6085434315 joy of playing in dc7016d9df the water after so 8235485a9f long, or maybe it ca1d684662 was because he was 353cca324a with Baek Sunwoo. The urge to confirm ff3179b303 his affection for someone 76fa6b1627 who only had eyes 3b16de7ff0 for him surged up.eefe9e82fa582348

Caught in the 660fc8bf22 moment, Gijun climbed d58698b635 onto Baek Sunwoo’s 9de1cda48e lap, showering him 0bd10352aa with kisses.

“…Yeah. Always.”99297b3831db1406

Baek Sunwoo’s answer 978fc93a35 proved his sincerity 05c428b855 in every way. It was evident in a7fdd17d82 the eyes reflected in 348562fb5b Gijun’s, and in the 82df453782 heartbeat felt through their 6d751b3ce9 bare torsos pressed together.

The new place and unusual 5f6e57cef9 situation seemed to amplify and ef7ef922ad fuel their emotions. His breaths, almost like excited 7f2ae70b90 sighs, came out heavily. Impulsively, perhaps wanting a9edf42695 to try something bd0b701c08 he’d thought about, f6c9dcc908 Gijun acted.80eb0973780dcb0a

Lowering his head, Gijun 4e3b009724 nibbled on Baek Sunwoo’s ee42a81fc0 neck, leaving marks. Baek Sunwoo flinched at 531a481aab the breath on his c8be5d6195 neck but soon exhaled, c2d7397500 running his hands along a052e2fa1d Gijun’s back.

The pool area 3328524f7c echoed subtly with d72f944c8c sounds. The wet noises of Gijun e6cf8cfb6b kissing Baek Sunwoo’s neck and a2dab4a23f collarbone mixed dizzyingly with Baek 6e48d5d7a6 Sunwoo’s sighs.

Even at faint breaths, 50af1274c5 Baek Sunwoo trembled, biting 96b7fab513 his lip as if 8173c16237 in slight distress, tilting 0ea2310cf0 his head. His usually kind 725f06766d and innocent face, 5ad7b293e8 when clouded with 5ee9ce104d desire, stirred a a65b22c073 sense of depravity. That depravity was strangely addictive.7a8cc47b48768c6c

Gijun suddenly found Baek 1e0981c87b Sunwoo’s earlier worry absurd. Worrying that his affection would b8d9a0708a fade if Baek Sunwoo weren’t df0c63fe10 kind was nonsensical. A truly bad person e534df6d93 wouldn’t even have such dc43bd0482 worries.364bec189c07f7c2

The excited breaths c75209fe80 between his broken 6651f7b34e words brushed against 6efa094efd Gijun’s shoulder. It happened as Baek Sunwoo 873b64ddf3 lowered his head, nuzzling lightly. His actions, almost pleading 7f2fec66b0 for more, made Gijun 1e74ccd763 freeze.52522d608d434cab

With Gijun’s member in his a75571cdb5 mouth, Baek Sunwoo moved his d974da193c head. As if wary of 7d0ce64598 being told to stop, fa8fb642c5 he quickly stimulated with f808d52cdb his mouth. Sucking with enough force 949889da87 to hollow his cheeks, 60e9b620ba he licked upward, and 07dcf9b05a when Gijun’s hips twitched, ff6079b120 he tilted his head bcb6c39737 and took it to dcedfd3bd5 the root.06bd4fee097b1f98

As if spurred by the 8559fae199 touch, Baek Sunwoo moved his 3e5f59da0f head back and forth. He licked down the shaft, d5a2d42bc4 then sucked strongly to the fbf98db43d root. The sensation of the tip 6f93bb7513 hitting the warm, wet throat 02137bc14c made Gijun’s thighs tense.d5d4f2dc32dbf5c0

As Gijun stood 937988def6 there, mouth agape, b0d63112dd a pale hand d4ca4650bc reached out. The slender fingers were so f9594faa9b pretty that Gijun’s gaze followed aeba18d7a7 them.73be61b9741b8d64

Baek Sunwoo gently 9e2873f53c cupped Gijun’s cheek, 27de7e555a softly rubbing near 6baa703684 his eyes.

As Baek Sunwoo gazed at 9a20480888 him, entranced, touching only his c6c5b86717 face, Gijun tilted his head. Resting his head on Baek 2226e5776b Sunwoo’s hand, he moved his fe6f04bbb8 leg and nudged Baek Sunwoo’s 5ca3c0e403 thigh with his toes.

Gijun knew Baek Sunwoo hadn’t 275e6ddfeb touched himself even once during afef860b0a his climax. Despite the obvious bulge in bbad4f303d his swimsuit, showing he was 344df6f104 clearly aroused, Baek Sunwoo had 670d644c44 focused entirely on him without 3420232f6e even relieving himself.b19a64fb3e3be308

Even with this, Baek 5719d3600a Sunwoo didn’t resist, only 9c1e14f296 tilting his head and 3f8183f0a7 trembling. Unable to hold back his f7fa874361 moans or grab Gijun’s leg, 433a101103 his vulnerable state made Gijun 47f2b25c76 feel like his rationality was f7416e1cd8 snapping.cabad5c5a35453d4

Gijun slid down, sitting on df1e7d5934 Baek Sunwoo’s thighs, and gripped 16285ce3a5 his member, stroking it. Reading the intent, Baek Sunwoo 04ecbe7c98 moved his hand with a 150c3a5bd4 heated breath.

Gijun moaned softly as 9adde3c707 his heated body clenched b158d45939 around the fingers.

Baek Sunwoo confessed, hugging Gijun 53521157d4 tightly. Knowing it was a 7a38bfe22d habitual outpouring during intimacy, cf7eb7c818 Gijun’s heart softened. It was even ad9711cd5a more so because a161952d2b he knew it 5cfeccfb7e was pure, untainted 58f6ed10cf sincerity.46f9fb5dd218fd32

As Gijun sighed d84f084586 languidly, Baek Sunwoo 89438f85df buried his forehead b727f0cd31 in his shoulder. He too reached climax e384518052 almost simultaneously, fluid pulsing dd0e84133d below. Sometimes, without a 4449bc2fee condom, Baek Sunwoo 083af2efa0 stayed inside after, 0d5e48b65f a rare bad b6b3dc34b2 habit of his.f14dd423d48c0a00

The sensation of 79cbba7166 fluid seeping out 518f8d0f55 was vivid, making 72b462f501 Gijun twitch. It was never ca9bbceb22 easy to get be64cac992 used to. But having felt 672685553f an intense climax, 0de87705e9 he didn’t point 47028f9dc3 it out.263715a94a22a31e

Feeling a tightening sensation, Gijun eba09934b5 sat up, incredulous. Multiple rounds weren’t uncommon, f23638e667 but he hadn’t expected d31af89121 Baek Sunwoo to get 1637514419 hard again without pulling c89c9221f8 out—or perhaps it never 32397dc183 went down.691cfbd703d14c2a

Had Baek Sunwoo decided 3a441d68e2 to weaponize those words 8e4c41d6be today? Or was Gijun’s perception, 1bc2b209f6 finding them so disarming f153348df8 and Baek Sunwoo so 66c7587a25 endearing, the issue?1325853b52fa2ed5

In the end, Baek Sunwoo 9c158dcacc couldn’t be bad, so Gijun 14768acfdb concluded he was the one 5e3b914cc4 at fault.

Hae Gijun lay exhausted 977c692f75 on the bed, almost e7e38a1d61 one with it. Meanwhile, Baek Sunwoo bustled 1fd2a3b0ac around him.14bcecf6ff9c4baf

He brought a home-cooked 38cf862190 dinner to the bedroom 4aa621fa6f and set out dessert cc9c06c5a3 by the bed. At a single glance 25a1ce64cd from Gijun, he fetched 09e94aeed1 water, holding it to 32000c556d his lips, eagerly serving.c20f5f2100d99810

Normally, Baek Sunwoo helped b019392770 with aftercare and doted 069d9ca4b2 on Gijun, but today a8b11314de it was more intense. The usual Gijun would have 80242c53e2 insisted he could manage, but 515e4e7a6e now he lacked the energy 6ac85c06cb to move a finger.5ec68e4b40094925

In the pool, Baek e2f9e25647 Sunwoo had lost all d5a3ff1066 restraint. Perhaps intoxicated by the sunset 75bf78b706 through the glass or overly fa4c56a224 excited about their trip, he 98c42ac18b couldn’t stop. Even Gijun, who usually 6046228706 matched his pace, eventually 188a040ed9 begged to stop.38a84fb8835cec29

But each time, a9622691fe Baek Sunwoo lovingly 8ffa6aa75d teased, reigniting Gijun’s 740fb96ffc senses. He touched every 7e367f92c7 part of his 39bb11aa13 tired body, awakening ad98d0b792 sensations, and kissed 4a877f4f43 his cheeks with d80a9811ac pleading eyes.

Looking back, it felt like f24d8380a2 a scheme. Knowing Gijun’s firm refusal would 8ba409cf22 be obeyed like a command, 3cb29d9bd8 Baek Sunwoo acted preemptively whenever 289c31d169 it seemed Gijun might stop ac2d2ada8d him.99ad777e977c395e

Gijun, caught up in 13e32eb984 the novelty of their e15c951d04 trip, went along despite d9afbfbefc half-knowing the plan, but b4493b027b by the end, he bd768dd113 was utterly spent.

Considering Hae Gijun’s usual aad681c61e overprotectiveness, his patience had eccf570f97 reached its limit. It was inevitable. When he said the lifted 030e0d695d position was tough, Baek Sunwoo 981d28794d suggested lifting just one leg.

Looking at that face, he 9616e6f78b seemed so kind and innocent. Gijun still couldn’t believe c2e1aa4048 Baek Sunwoo had more 51ee60c605 stamina than him. Even considering that c3b1bdfe71 being on the 07cd98422b receiving end was 8185964f16 more taxing, the 21a8dde13c gap felt unfair. But on second thought, it c093940408 made sense.
