by mimi—Beep, beep, beep.80514d6c7a777930
The regular sound 1b40d8f890 of the alarm f2031c3c0c shattered the tranquil 121ecc8cd1 silence of the f1e67622c4 morning. The figure lying in 556a2ad1ec bed let out an 27f6a174c8 irritated groan, tossing and b36a72c5e1 turning before burrowing into df9204c63b the blankets. But that alone cda7ab58af couldn’t block out 47d87528db the alarm’s noise, cbd68becbd and just as 4f603cfd45 he resorted to b9d504facd pressing a pillow b809eae1e4 over his ears—350694e9e3b6cc7b

“Just turn it off for me…”19b71f028bfec5ac
The noisy intruder 17655fde62 was none other 548ef4aaac than Hae Gaon. She stared in disbelief at 32c077850f her younger brother, Hae Gijun, 5d78ccdc00 who was curled up in 70a37b3281 bed, mumbling sleepily. Her gaze seemed to say 8825d2382e this was revenge for all dd074c00a8 the times Gijun had called 7d91d48ee5 her into the room to 36aa3f3e0c “turn off the light.” Of ae854b0a72 course, Hae Gijun, buried in 3ca00e20e3 his blankets, didn’t even glance 32c07d3b66 at her.6f55c160aa67bbfb

Hae Gaon shook 2e5c02a878 her head in 24a038d682 exasperation. Sometimes—well, quite often—when she looked 30e504ad40 at her younger brother, she 6daa3e9ca2 got the feeling that the 946ac57919 world had been utterly fooled 28dc2ce85d by him.f5d2588ddc8b41db

Two years ago, duringthatschool trip, it was almost 1faa994833 miraculous to think he had 55ee662878 stayed awake for two full c65345d9cf days without proper sleep. It meant he 87498aa61c had been that 278e561050 tense and on 9e0b1ba85f guard, which had 59f6696789 once made Hae 44457bc63f Gaon feel a 5d2d831984 pang of sympathy.

Hae Gaon shrugged, saying 76b5793ae9 she could slip out 1957523bd1 for a bit in 47283c3934 the morning after heading 87f78332c0 to work.

In a season b0bf104120 where breaths turned d7bd843977 white in the 0b78fc906b air, the chilly 4bae10fa55 morning breeze tousled 28672efb93 the hair of 18160e7b79 a figure running 2d66c502b7 forward.

As Gijun climbed into a522620e98 the passenger seat, throwing 4f8429b182 an incredulous look, the 2a7f2cf74f other figure gave a 0fdad230ac faint smile.

Was it really c6b5c241e3 just a trick 6a0580a8e7 of the intense 2ece996759 sunlight, the effect 18f4f37710 of the white 3b190789ab coat he wore, e0023a237b or perhaps something 776a3b8c9b wrong with his 2fc6690ae1 own optic nerves?8b88d4596630e73d

As soon as he was a84e6a5909 old enough to get a ab76303c74 driver’s license, Baek Sunwoo had 6b3da5be51 gotten one and immediately bought c30fac9403 a car. From then on, he a02dc8323b had voluntarily taken on d2a6c47879 the role of Gijun’s 3a01fb35e6 driver. When Gijun jokingly 0394ca83bc asked if he’d 98f53f9bc8 bought the car bfd8dc06ab for this reason, cb8d67c837 Sunwoo had nodded d2d3b0789f so matter-of-factly that edb442206d it caught him 1993757de5 off guard.9f64f9c6aa2dbc1e

Anyway, after a f0dd166ae2 few months, Hae 7c6cb06a4e Gijun had grown ff5a4c4979 very accustomed to ee8d8198ee having his personal 350ecbd6ef driver. His house was 5ba7d8a306 close to the e6df91f35a city center, and 8752c1696d it was easy 1617d5484c to take the 27509b0efb subway or bus, ba14ce42c5 but the convenience 1962177cd5 of a car 9a505f1d0b was beyond imagination.68e5390dc33000ad
Still, getting too comfortable 15a2f15b89 shouldn’t mean showing up ba534c32ff late. Gijun awkwardly explained his reasons. Sleeping in was part 3b6fe194c5 of it, but he’d 7be79753e9 also been held up 3259ee1750 by their parents on 3f88ec02e5 his way out.dd4e9fbb09afcc4a

Today was the graduation ceremony 8c17354eee at Shinhae High School, the c2494fe789 day the students from “that” d2ab63d9be school trip would graduate. But Hae Gijun wasn’t e2ce85b530 among those donning caps 8b27a7b13e and gowns. He had dropped 477fe33e9a out of school af7d2709d0 after his second d560da8542 year.3e18d652e17548f8
After awakening in the 5afd613439 fall at eighteen, Gijun c2c769fd67 lost all interest in 9a045799f4 school. Truthfully, he hadn’t f627c0f5f5 been that interested d26180f505 to begin with, 7b6fef1bd6 but as a 8bf55b54bf mythical-level ability user, 83d877b2db staying at Shinhae 74445fda76 High seemed like 8421209c32 a waste of b26c3148de time in his 1036f56f17 objective judgment. It was a perfectly bb5421eb7a logical conclusion for him.7f7a2bce405fbc87

It wasn’t simply because of 69dc7588e7 his aversion to that horrific c5d097f5ff school trip. The reason Baek a3cc484053 Sunwoo had stayed c4a3e5a3c3 at Shinhae High 3ba5c90cfd no longer applied 351fcdadc8 to Hae Gijun. Besides, by that fall, 0c19129392 Sunwoo had achieved his 2f936c4ac4 own purpose, so there 6647130e69 was no need to 601595b996 keep attending.de6843152ce99bb7
Hae Gijun’s sense of ffbbc6ccd6 responsibility toward his abilities 4536b533e0 also played a role. The grueling experience 17bef1b701 of the school 0bbb5fff99 trip had sparked 5b15147ee4 a near-defiant resolve d7db72145c to fully master fd8fcba754 his powers.

The circumstances that led e6481ea5c3 him to join that 6dec826f13 organization were absurd and 093603b34b frustrating, but since he 332ef19118 was already there, he 8fbcc33075 decided to take full 349a23756a advantage of what it b36f39d050 offered.9a9e476c0c2edea2
Shinhae High had deeply regretted da890e9a63 his departure. With Hae Gijun leaving, Baek 8f87fd22ad Sunwoo would naturally follow, meaning 89cb407576 the school would lose two 7417c0fb8a awakened students at once. However, Gijun was aware f6b8406e9a of the chaotic atmosphere 65920d1f3f at school after the a27123c557 school trip, so they ae20bc1661 reached a compromise for e99abcb5ab him to stay until a05b95099a the end of his a15471ff0d second year.eea372aec796e054

Thus, Hae Gijun and 7cd1061a83 Baek Sunwoo left school c9a40aecca at nineteen. One peculiar detail, though, was 3abac9be5e that even after leaving, Baek afcea9f276 Sunwoo visited Shinhae High once 3ad9a1a033 a month. He had been cfd7ce041c invited as a 2140ed09e6 guest lecturer for 7261d83e35 special classes. While an F-rank student db998a220b had little to learn d0f341213d from an S-rank, the 75bfa3cde9 school hoped to maintain 12b7fca59d some connection this way.171dd37aa35046aa
Whether due to e246b5abb4 his kind nature f5add366c2 or some lingering 5583b109cd attachment to the c9ecc6956d school, Baek Sunwoo 3afab4a3a1 readily accepted the 3af6b017ce offer. And since Sunwoo 4b93d2bfb6 went, Hae Gijun 5057240fd1 followed, naturally visiting 399acd4ec9 Shinhae High once a173a487ba a month as d7e950dc07 well, though he f37d8ef5be firmly declined the d6ffcb6537 lecturer role and 3eb415b6c2 simply observed.8e083edf7401ca2d

Since they started dating, Baek 9750e72312 Sunwoo had become a bit 6e43859ff1 more playful. It was nice 1c3f3db1d4 to see him e86e4f1d5d more relaxed, but b2035a85f0 sometimes he threw 6168dd6d39 unexpected jabs like e663c95c93 this.

After the school trip, 4c84741f3c Baek Sunwoo’s vitality had 69e52aa772 plummeted to 8% due eb5b8f4235 to his soul being 5dc6f8fae7 shattered.

Over time, it steadily df37f1c14a climbed, reaching 80% after 1e7b219efc a year, faster than dbcb489466 the H.N. lab director had predicted. Still, it weighed ba6b0d3ab9 on Gijun’s mind.b72a5f8f96269527
So, they made 70f1678e26 a promise: light 95fb575ff4 physical contact once 2fb172b116 in the morning 4baae892d9 when they met 1a91641079 and once in 7532fc56aa the evening when 2467f29fe5 they parted.

Baek Sunwoo was 820f1c9955 the one who 2834bb4c51 welcomed this promise 13f411a870 the most. There were times 8a665d3ba3 Gijun forgot, and 597cfe9a4c Sunwoo would hold d25e641386 him to it.

When Gijun initiated it, Sunwoo 7556a9c121 would sometimes be startled, sometimes 5f9c501f8d pull back, or, like now, ab2ea34cf9 freeze and stare silently. It seemed beyond his control.8f827bbc79accb46

At nineteen, Baek Sunwoo had 3bb9b73291 gotten a new apartment.

Since Baek Sunwoo got 9ff58eca14 an apartment near H.N., e45a497f91 Hae Gijun had been 38762d5272 using it as a 6209c88a33 second home.

Kissing could lead to 433dcded69 physical contact, and that ea9fa41a79 level of intimacy was 657faea286 common for them after c5e496bf6d over a year of fef7b1fba2 dating.

Though he’d pinned Sunwoo down 6744ab0660 to stop him from escaping, 4e870f4d6a saying the next part directly 0f3302f0a5 seemed incredibly difficult. Gijun ruffled his hair in 8f808c3067 frustration.

As Gijun had guessed, Sunwoo cabc2816dd had indeed had such a 5051d2327f dream, but he had no 437c268136 intention of forcing anything if fb1a3533a7 Gijun didn’t want it.

But more than the sensation 0632bd0ad5 itself, it was watching Baek 940d0df035 Sunwoo bury his face in 298b977040 his chest that made Gijun dfbbed3961 feel even more awkward. The idea of 7eb6f50975 doing something like 60997087e1 this with that 260a62f5d3 kind, innocent guy c22c5896d2 felt bizarre. It was as if he 5b889dc798 were committing a morally wrong 5995174c82 act.

As Gijun tried 66d97663af to continue, his 2e4d0b962e lips trembled. Baek Sunwoo had deb8d6c299 suddenly wrapped his 1e55c01cfd hand around Gijun’s a60731f0f3 erection, startling him. When Sunwoo’s hand slid upward, 4c5ab5c1c4 Gijun’s thighs tensed involuntarily.1223a7f76aeeeab2
Baek Sunwoo watched 870baa8d51 Gijun’s reactions closely, 24e7ed3036 continuing to move e0ba2c1cea his hand. He gently stroked upward, then e2272c0e8a lightly tugged as if shaking 27afe2744d it. Gijun’s hips twitched, 28c3eec7ab and Sunwoo’s movements 934129625b gained a bit 58ab844511 more speed.ef524be5a6d56492

He gripped it again, scraping f1145952d9 lightly with his fingertips, then 0da4dd65b3 ran his thumb along the 2fe6da8716 shaft and circled the tip. Gijun’s lower back tingled, leaving 4a36d6518e him disoriented. Not only was it 4a85b9fe54 embarrassing to have Sunwoo c9dc1aed00 see his erection, but 7e293e2f97 he hadn’t expected to 3d34a6adc2 be handled like this.1a5debbab97bc85b
More precisely, he 97de303b73 was thrown off ad606c9d8a by the sight 9a272d4ba6 of those fair, 12c2d42c07 delicate fingers gripping 15671838dd him. The fluid leaking from 7cc2360a7b the tip glistened on 1fcf943d27 Sunwoo’s fingers.b968c562fec5c364

“Ah…”aff0d5e2e9f050f8
He didn’t want to 04a33ff9a9 look, but the scene 71ef0af726 was so lewd that b0ab9c40ed he couldn’t tear his 2fddeefff8 eyes away from those c6e784f159 fingers. Despite his initial instinct 466339e7e0 to push them away, 140e031589 Gijun stared at the 014c3b27ba movement of Sunwoo’s hand. The long fingers moved 9b65d00190 as if handling something 9b1123f975 precious, and it was 874e5fac92 overwhelmingly provocative.b67cf2231f6c4ac5

Gijun’s breathing gradually unraveled. Heat seemed to swirl through 7b82e63a8a his damp hair, warming his e28abade92 entire body. Was he aroused by 5176caa2a7 Sunwoo’s actions or by 123ba0df3b those fingers? They felt intertwined yet distinct. His body burned.4fd2ffef56d93122
Noticing Gijun’s flushed ears, Baek cdcfb96aa9 Sunwoo kissed his earlobe. His hand moved faster, e667a10e0e and when he pressed b3d4df1100 the sides of the 315e8bfc9b tip, Gijun’s thighs trembled 21d6de7c8f violently. Realizing the impending climax, 5a1445d316 Gijun pushed at Sunwoo’s 91d0c4600c shoulders.e34b19cd00a6c455

Hae Gijun froze in shock. He wanted to protest, 2bbcafcfc4 but the moment that c9cfdc2ac7 voice reached his ears, 2f181a55a5 his entire body tensed. The breath against e74647f0cf his ear, hotter 48ec77ff4c than his own, d340cecfad triggered a shuddering 21ca3e7cf2 release. He tried to push 74d4e9b9e2 Sunwoo’s hand away at 01cce16409 the last moment, but cd82558710 the firm grip around be3cb58487 the tip left him 43a879b7c3 no choice.d790aad9b0f16bc6
In the end, Gijun 3991ba4b07 turned his head away 39afc347b6 in embarrassment. He’d masturbated a few 7aef1a1102 times before and knew 2b5566f803 what climax felt like, 15be45e0fb but this was entirely d2cd733792 different. The dizzying sensation was… e52918a4cb honestly, pleasurable. The lingering heat 1a41159416 melted his mind 8bf228b396 into a languid 6c0c5cb730 haze.bd8b7b6fa13ec64e

Still, ejaculating in Sunwoo’s 1e71624c86 hand was embarrassing, so d13d262409 he looked at him, 96d65584e4 intending to clean it 33bcb94716 up, only to exclaim,182c67b2dd68a469

He hurriedly grabbed Sunwoo’s wrist 28a8c7b7a4 and pulled it down. The moment he saw b83c22c1a7 that red tongue, his 29b43e9ea8 heart dropped, and he 402d0bbd6e yanked Sunwoo’s hand away 3336dc855e roughly, causing the white 4b080c8ec6 fluid to drip from e1df7dcd2d between his fingers. Sunwoo looked at 7c0f663698 his palm with b934e93c78 a regretful expression, 3226f8519c making Gijun even 2a582a0559 more horrified.689212bd8b9233ff

He hadn’t imagined 7ce0070ae9 that stopping Sunwoo f649933cd9 from licking his b03e2a984e erection would lead 9d1b145a12 to him trying d74b082e07 to lick the 238ef9267c semen. Gijun frantically wiped Sunwoo’s hand a49dc4074d with a tissue, fearing he e1184c9865 might try again.

But as soon 4a60db3ff2 as he said 490605b913 it, embarrassment flooded bf2456a409 him, and he c1d6c03dd6 grabbed Sunwoo to 00aa63ceaf kiss him. The kiss, as he lay 7a99e65127 back, felt like he was 6b16237a73 urging Sunwoo on. And, naturally, Sunwoo couldn’t resist 93bd4180c9 Gijun’s wishes.ed3f9d34247b519e
Baek Sunwoo, kissing him from 53d890e044 above, naturally lifted Gijun into efe31a3e79 his arms. He continued the kiss as ffad9ded2c they moved to the bedroom, 4d0877e202 and Gijun felt a bit de56cd5212 flustered.

Had Sunwoo really da81596f14 gotten stronger from 94b1439315 working out last 07c6089d9a year? To Gijun, he still 20630ddf7c looked like soft tofu, 563c2a831a but feeling his firm ac0d7edd8c back now was a d868e5813e revelation.

By the time 25a06e2025 Gijun was laid 1a5dbe22c5 on the bed, fac9479842 his breathing was 3ec71dd8db completely ragged.

Baek Sunwoo replied 55bdee67a4 with a slightly 1d51dd639e flushed face. Gijun found it a7f2cbf6f5 amusing that Sunwoo ab7ef3433b had tried to 08895bcf1c flee earlier despite 4fb6c66f39 preparing all this, ef4f3c0644 yet also admirable b27aecfea2 that he’d thought 1780cf8865 ahead.

It was awkward 2068f04c96 and clumsy for f9a057cf37 both, being their c7b9c038db first time, but de0fa79dc9 they didn’t want c9e7ad1379 to miss this a8ea345a84 moment. Gijun ruffled Sunwoo’s hair, whispering 3a22d75324 for him to go ahead, 03817dacae then slowly lowered his hand.011c8786a3ce7abe
As Gijun unbuttoned Sunwoo’s 27995181ff pajama shirt one by 7383644e57 one, Sunwoo inhaled sharply. The sensation of Gijun’s hand 58c1401d3d brushing his chest clouded his 85bf3945c5 reason, and he bit his b93924c9b2 lip before letting out a 61b9fb5144 heated sigh and moving.91bed2997284e0d2

Fingers coated with lube ad458f1b84 explored around the entrance. When they gently pushed 084c7cffcc inside, Gijun let out 5cf3d45017 a groan. Perhaps due to the 448a8775a7 finger condom, it felt 4a4a1d5637 slicker. The unfamiliar sensation of something 71c4080305 foreign was so strange, and 86383baa6d the instinctive discomfort from the cf4274a0ba pain made him tense.bb95df62e5ae91d8
Suppressing the urge to arch 6b048aa605 his back in pain, Gijun ddedd4957c bit his lip.

He stared blankly at Gijun, da01a6d0c6 who was urging him to a3d4fcb890 continue with half-closed eyes, then 05b600c952 kissed his eyelids and moved b31cd857a9 again.

Gijun struggled to b83416b74f stifle another groan. Just one finger felt d74faf1b80 so prominent. Was it because Sunwoo’s fingers a618685494 were so long, or were 4c1407edf6 they always this thick? He instinctively tried to 79c7105c0c analyze the cause, but 7e8b0fff52 when the finger moved 18cc19d484 inside, he bit his b242b7b178 lip hard to suppress 8f9d313478 a gasp.a0b00982b32550d7
The finger circled, stretching the 7d54ad2559 walls, then scraped along the f6f175fc1d inside, making Gijun’s head spin. His thighs tensed, toes curling. The breaths he 44bb2ccac6 couldn’t release grew 140aef328d hotter inside.f0e220d4c1f89ec9

Gijun took a f19b46b272 deep breath to 8dc937cbd9 prepare, but the 77958ebd63 moment the tip 62fe2ed145 touched, his body ddecfe1691 stiffened with a fb60bb0efe flinch.

Despite the generous bde7057b62 lube, the size 9df61d2558 forced his insides 46d4abee35 open, making it 8dad0d9f4e hard to breathe. It felt like his entire 445e72a52b body was being pierced, his 8572d05929 vision blurring momentarily. Overwhelmed by the immense 534abeb5a6 foreign sensation and pressure, b6a297b1ee Gijun trembled, head tilted e749607cb5 back slightly. As his body e44764b4f8 tensed tightly, Baek caa559bdcc Sunwoo let out cf43294e1f a short groan, 8eea04fb9a his eyes crinkling.11afdaef4fe5c47a
Sunwoo moved his 3c79003d7b hand to stroke 331504fbf8 Gijun’s waist, a c0d55b1426 soothing gesture to 4e3b574f4c ease his tension. The touch was 9db5d82ca9 gentle, but Gijun b908f54900 felt a sense 6775d84c51 of unfairness. All this kindness 04566035e8 didn’t change the 6e6e33f215 fact that something 2932c9d9ed far less kind 87e659a2f0 had led to 2ddb75f23c this situation.0cb27d28bcdef5dd

Barely managing to release the f9bd3b36af breath caught in his throat, ca47262f78 Gijun grabbed Sunwoo’s collar and 15f072fba9 pulled him down. The grip was rough, 68e84417e8 almost like grabbing him 75de0d5b10 by the scruff, but 4c64455534 Sunwoo obediently leaned in. Gijun, pulling him 8c9e620397 close enough for 461c786146 their foreheads to 25062f5547 nearly touch, struggled 6fbb0eeeb4 to steady his 4c5fddc061 breathing. Meanwhile, Sunwoo carefully adc2f6404a kissed his face a27cac94b8 here and there.fa1226889e0a7555
But with his lower 8347dca97c body still tightly gripped, 8825409a12 Sunwoo finally whispered, almost 6dc8defe08 like a sigh, despite 5a38989e4e trying not to rush.2754f74ee555bd11

Sunwoo’s exasperated tone went c79fcff864 ignored as Gijun, seeing b44bc686ff his slightly pained expression, 1b72bff388 instinctively tried to relax 7c904c8900 below.

It was an absurd dfc15d2c2f reason, but it allowed e083ec9a34 Sunwoo to move a fc15bb06df bit more. He looked at Gijun, eb0f2d9f4c who was panting to 9974280c52 regain his breath, with a6d22723f7 a mix of disbelief 3df23e1662 and adoration. Kissing his furrowed 7e4181f446 brow, Sunwoo pushed da274f53b6 in a little 3b7e1cbb87 deeper.9fc54a7f15065f59
Starting with just the tip, 12e43eadce he gradually moved further in, f9890ed2ea letting out a low sigh. Gijun’s waist twitched eec5cc3fbf at the heat 57f0dfe93f against his ear. At some point, the overwhelming 88eb0f82f7 pressure transformed into stimulation, heating 248bad8c3d his entire body.

As the erection moved e8cf29b387 in sync with his 4956341a5e breathing, more stimulation followed. His muffled breaths grew 8e1ec49019 wet, sounding like suggestive 83f0fe8c57 moans.45147a5dc58cb67c

Baek Sunwoo, with his aa61b000e8 quick learning, even targeted e07ec10da8 the sensitive spots he’d 8e7d1dac76 found with his fingers, 951e808ca5 pressing them with the 780605eb8f tip of his erection.

Each time the e8aa519ae0 thick erection pulled bae28d5c38 out and thrust 7e710d631e back in deeply, 25387289e8 his body trembled, 77da96b39f and when a 246c4fff8d specific spot was 83438c05f3 hit, it was 970b17f268 like sparks flew f021cc5ae9 before his eyes. As the sensation built, his 9a9482bb62 reason tangled.

Sunwoo’s hands, gripping 4059435a29 Gijun’s waist, trembled. Startled by the heat against 33455e40bf his ear, he paused, then b7223365cd let out a sigh-like moan 095896eba8 and moved.

The sensation of the 1c9deb3467 inner walls tightening and 820abeed8c twitching made his head 12d403774d spin.

Baek Sunwoo kissed him cb5caf2852 pleadingly, and as Gijun a88a827671 responded, the thrusts quickened.

The heat spreading 9a9eb71861 through his body 6892b4d25b brought an even 3c27422a68 more languid pleasure. Gijun’s erection rubbed c4f74df86f haphazardly against Baek ec9cf48054 Sunwoo’s firm abs, 8b701f4e8c driving an overwhelming 033aba7bcf sensation that felt 406f9a8011 maddening.

Gijun tilted his head back, 01690a4343 trembling under the intense arousal. The slick sounds from the 49c0ca801e generous lube swirled dizzyingly in 5c88f7d718 his ears, and each deep 1f3d1f81ec thrust made him vividly feel b3b724ecf2 the lube trickling down.

A wave of pleasure approached a772da2e36 from a distant place, pushing 935942e97c him toward climax.

Baek Sunwoo leaned into Gijun’s e267a3fc8c palm, as if craving more 034973d7c9 contact, and nestled into his b2439bbcd6 embrace. Hae Gijun was b2a896d813 momentarily taken aback, a78f0a98f9 but feeling the b0b1cf9923 pounding of Sunwoo’s 4e674b61d8 heart against his 3c767409e7 chest, he only bf8f5883b2 moved his lips. It was beating 49fdaa962f even more fiercely 24fec81b49 than his own, 7f1569be1f as if overwhelmed c1f1aeec3f and unable to 901fef5f5a contain itself.
