CR | Chapter 3.4

To cheer him up, showing some enthusiasm, Kim Donghwa started talking about the frame and other technical terms. How did he become such a bike enthusiast? He wasn’t even without a license, and it seemed like spending this time to choose might as well have been used to buy a car from a dealer.

Maybe I should let Kim Donghwa buy his bike and I’ll buy a car, but then he thought better of it. Driving was a hassle for him, and his parents’ home was now in the countryside. It would be much better to ask them to send someone rather than driving alone.

“Buying?”

Urging for an answer, Kim Donghwa rolled his dark eyes to look at him. When he blinked slowly, Wi Woori gave him a pretty smile, and only then did Kim Donghwa sit up, moving the mouse actively.

“But you’re a beginner…”

He had already learned to ride a two-wheeled bike back in elementary school, so what was all the fuss about? It’s not like he was going to ride a unicycle. With a deeply annoyed look, Wi Woori bared his teeth as if he might charge at him, and Kim Donghwa raised his hand to calm him down.

“Then I’ll place the order, so you…”

“What.”

“Go out and take out the trash. Today’s not a day for you to be a show-off, is it?”

At Kim Donghwa’s words, Wi Woori got up, slapping his knee, remembering. Every Monday, the housing complex had recycling, and going out to collect the love from the residents was one of Wi Woori’s life’s joys.

Wi Woori quickly gathered the well-sorted recycling items. Thinking of going out to have fun, a deep smile formed on his lips.

“Oh, have we arrived?”

“Hello!”

The cheerful and light-hearted voice instantly gathered the scattered gazes. With his tall frame and sturdy shoulders, his light-colored hair sparkled in the sunlight, fluttering in the wind like a gentle wave. His large, round eyes were as sharp as a cat’s, and his pert, round nostrils gleamed under the sun. Below his neat philtrum, his tightly closed cherry-red lips drew a graceful parabola, blooming into a bright smile across his face. His skin, white like fine porcelain, surely felt soft to the touch, even without needing to feel it.

In his early twenties, the man was not just handsome but rather pretty, a word that suited him far better than “handsome.”

Wi Woori was quite accustomed to the eyes of people staring at him intensely. Ever since he moved into the officetel with Kim Donghwa on his twentieth birthday, he had somewhat enjoyed the gazes of the ajummas.

Most of the people at the recycling station were housekeepers. At first, he thought they were just like the other residents, but through casual conversations, he naturally found out otherwise.

Kim Donghwa often scolded him, asking if he was going to be friendly with everyone, but Wi Woori paid no heed. There were no better conversation partners for a deep discussion about recycling than these people. Naturally, they grew close.

Wi Woori gave a light-hearted laugh as he easily sorted out the trash. It was something he had neither done nor thought of doing in his childhood, but once he got into it as a hobby, he found it quite fun.

He placed a flattened box on top of the pile of paper waste, and neatly separated the labels from the glass bottles, placing them into a bag labeled ‘Glass’.

Clang! At the sharp sound, the people around cheered with a “Wow!” When he first started recycling, Wi Woori thought they were quite dramatic.

He wondered who would cheer for something as simple as throwing out trash, but once he understood it was their way of making mundane daily tasks fun, he no longer had anything to say. Rather, he enjoyed it with them.

Wi Woori shrugged his shoulders, shook off the plastic bags, and organized all the glass. Then he stood in front of a bag labeled ‘Aluminum Can’, pouring out the clean cans he had rinsed, making a loud clanging noise.

Finally, he completed his task by putting the regular trash, neatly bagged, into the large bin. As he stretched his back, making a crunching sound, praises came from all around.

“Oh my, how can you sort the recycling so perfectly?”

“I wish my family did it this well. I almost died trying to peel off beer bottle labels yesterday.”

“The boss of that house drinks too much beer, tell him to cut back a bit.”

The ajummas laughed heartily, seeming to find some joy despite the hard work. Among them, Wi Woori laughed along, listening to them discuss others’ household affairs until he suddenly turned at the sound of approaching footsteps.

“Wi Guanzhong, let’s go.”

Kim Donghwa, with his hat pulled down low, called out to him in a low voice, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Hm…”

Wi Woori hummed softly, touching his chin in thought. In front of him, the bicycles he and Kim Donghwa had chosen together from the store a few days ago were lined up. Despite Kim Donghwa’s long talk about beginners this and that, he had matched his own bike with Wi Woori’s.

Strangely, while looking at the bicycles, he suddenly remembered Kim Donghwa holding him and being aroused.

Wi Woori recalled these facts he had been ignoring for the past few days, his eyebrows dancing around. While he was easily aroused by Kim Donghwa, feeling his lower abdomen boil just from physical contact, why was Kim Donghwa like this?

If one assumed Kim Donghwa was an alpha, one could lightly attribute it to pheromones. But wasn’t Kim Donghwa just a regular person who hadn’t even manifested?

After pondering for a while, Wi Woori stood up abruptly. There was no use in suffering alone over this. If he was curious, he should just ask Kim Donghwa directly, he thought, flicking away his cigarette ash. After placing the cigarette butt neatly in the ashtray, he headed home with a somewhat determined stride.

But could he just come out and ask, “Why were you aroused?”

Knowing Kim Donghwa’s personality, he wouldn’t give a straight answer…

How could he ask to get a proper response? He was thinking about this when he stepped into the elevator.

“Where have you been?”

“Woah!”

Not knowing where he got on, Kim Donghwa was already in the elevator. Startled, Wi Woori let out a yelp, causing Kim Donghwa to raise an eyebrow in suspicion.

“What about me?”

Oops.

Wi Woori was flustered as he had only meant to think about it, not say it out loud. Thankfully, only Kim Donghwa was in the elevator; otherwise, it could have led to a huge misunderstanding.

Kim Donghwa, surprised, looked down at his own crotch, wondering if he was now getting hard without any feeling. Fortunately, his lower half was quiet.

“What are you talking about?”

“Well, since it’s come up, let’s talk. Last time when I was sick…”

“Yeah.”

“Why did you get hard, mmm!”

Just as he was about to speak, Kim Donghwa quickly covered his mouth. What kind of crazy act was this? Wi Woori glared at him, and Kim Donghwa glanced between him and the elevator door.

When had they arrived? The new neighbor from the apartment next door was standing right in front of the open elevator. Wi Woori awkwardly greeted him, and the neighbor responded with an equally awkward smile.

Ah, what an embarrassing moment. Wi Woori sighed in relief, patting his chest while still looking up at Kim Donghwa, who was still holding his mouth. Kim Donghwa’s face, usually calm, was now filled with embarrassment.

“Let me go, please?” Wi Woori mumbled with his mouth covered.

“What luxury am I enjoying that I would do this.”

Finally, Kim Donghwa removed his hand once they were safely inside the house. His grip had been so tight that Wi Woori’s mouth felt sore. He moved his jaw up and down, feeling like he couldn’t move it properly.

“No, you fucking. Why would you say that outside?”

“What does it matter, it was just us. So, why were you hard back then?”

“Well, that’s because…”

Kim Donghwa started confidently but then suddenly shut his mouth, his eyes darting around.

What was with that reaction?

Wi Woori tilted his head in suspicion. If he kept acting so mysteriously, he was bound to have his own doubts. As he raised his eyebrows, Kim Donghwa, looking troubled, ran a large hand over his face.

“Because you were rubbing against me, I got stimulated, that’s why.”

“Hey, does that really stimulate you? Who rubs what, when we’re just standing still and barely touching?”

“Ah, I got excited back then too. It’s because my body heats up, not because there’s anything special about you. We’ve seen everything there is to see, so why bother now?”

“Oh, so you usually don’t get excited?”

As Wi Woori taunted with a sarcastic tone, Kim Donghwa furrowed his brows as if it were obvious. His stern gaze seemed to say, ‘Don’t entertain foolish thoughts,’ and his firm nod showed no intention of backtracking.

It was only natural not to feel stimulated usually, so why did this situation stir up such defiance?

“So, no matter what I do, you won’t get excited?”

“Why would I get excited because of you?”

Ah, when someone is this confident, there’s an innate desire to break that confidence.

Wi Woori rolled his tongue inside his mouth, puffing out his cheeks. His twitching eyebrows expressed his irritation. Seeing Kim Donghwa so assertive about his own matters often sparked an unnecessary competitive spirit in Woori.

This wasn’t just about physical contact; it felt like a crucial turning point to determine if he truly had no effect on Kim Donghwa at all.

Wi Woori, saying “Really?” moved closer to Kim Donghwa. Kim Donghwa, who had just set down the plastic bag on the Irish table with a thud, remained silent this time. Perhaps it was only natural for Woori to feel defiant. Acting as if he didn’t even notice him, Woori dramatically removed his jacket and traced his hand down Donghwa’s back.

“Ah, what are you doing!”

Kim Donghwa shivered dramatically. Already feeling the stimulation, what was he going on about?

“Even like this, you don’t get excited?”
