CR | Chapter 7.5

Wi Woori soon settled into a comfortable position, and Kim Donghwa rested his chin on his head, gently patting his broad back. The sound of his steady breathing against his neck and the heartbeat resonating near his chest weren’t unpleasant.b65a27778f16564a

Looking back, they were almost holding hands every day now. Hugging like this wasn’t awkward anymore, and they kissed quite often. They even kissed, went on dates, and eventually had sex.e097ce04831d6c4d

Kim Donghwa met Wi Woori’s gaze, who was looking up at him intently. He swallowed nervously. He couldn’t deny that his feelings had grown uncontrollably since the day they started living together. When he touched him, he wanted to hold him tight, and when he held him, he wanted to press his lips against him. Then he wanted to kiss him, and sometimes he wanted to lose himself and climax while shaking his member.83a4c12a95238d3f

Only then did Wi 00216095d7 Woori start to doubt fe4c98831b the credibility of what 77f10bf4ce he heard, suddenly recalling 632584d9f6 Kim Chanyoung, who suggested 1dd57b880d he talk to Kim 52dcf817b1 Donghwa.

Wi Woori pulled back slightly and looked up at Kim Donghwa. As expected, Kim Donghwa, who was looking elsewhere, just moved his dry lips without saying anything. He placed his ear against Kim Donghwa’s chest, which was pounding like a drum. Tension and anticipation hit him simultaneously. Still, it was better to be sure. Instead of answering, Wi Woori asked a question in a clear voice.011de6b4490d4417

“Why do you want to date me?”e7bd2dd0101183d2

Yet, why did he look so pretty, smiling up at him like that? Feeling annoyed, he turned his eyes elsewhere, and Wi Woori poked his chest. It was a gesture as if to say, “The conversation isn’t over, so don’t look away and look at me properly.”b1e82ee4be026898
