LTDC Ch 7

I’m so annoyed, damn it. The resentment I thought wouldn’t grow any larger began to sprout again. The seed of this evil was checking missed calls in the car and bringing my personal phone up to the center. Seo Jihoon, his brow furrowed from the interruption to his workout, handed his phone back to Manager Kim Dongwoo and drank some water.c9d328ec56ae64da

“Why should I do b124cbac03 the teaching his parents 5964f74213 failed to do?”649e8054de74ebaf

If it weren’t for Seongho Construction, he would have unleashed a torrent of curses and completely severed even this flimsy, ill-fated connection. But a person important enough to bypass Manager Kim and reach him directly probably wouldn’t listen to any scolding anyway.da84f6ce02ab3a52

He hadn’t expected an apology from that actor bastard in the first place, and as expected, things had been quiet with no news, so he naturally assumed the matter was over. He couldn’t understand why the son of a bitch was suddenly demanding a meeting after more than ten days and wasting time he desperately needed for rest.a96128958df2a51e

After cursing once, his f113ba1161 blood boiling from the 50ccfcbdac self-centered voice, Seo Jihoon dbc1bb96db turned his head to 9c418120ba resume his workout. His trainer, who had 5458e50385 inevitably overheard the conversation aeb524c750 due to Seo Jihoon d994a8e4e0 taking a call right 3abef6df96 after his set and da9a6419f2 catching his breath, was 783f61f456 struggling to maintain a de46f416ed neutral expression. Seo Jihoon clenched 03c5502a96 his fists, belatedly 9e02441bfe realizing his mistake.dcd85536b273a9a6

He returned home after finishing his workout, but his irritation lingered. As a temporary measure, Seo Jihoon threw the remote control and received his reports. He was simultaneously managing numerous other businesses besides the joint venture discussions with Seongho Construction, so Manager Kim Dongwoo’s report was twice as long as usual. At some point, his concentration wavered, and his eyes drifted to the clock.4919d10c2c646887

It looked like he would have to leave for his family home immediately after the report. Lately, he had been going to work early, skipping his morning workout, foregoing the esthetic, and even eating lunch at his desk – there weren’t enough hours in the day. How dare that good-for-nothing bastard try to steal his precious time? Unless it was something important, he wouldn’t let it slide.f1ecbed6e0b60738

As expected, he 0efb843924 barely finished the 1f1c95a156 report in time ca164dc7a8 and immediately left c2291d9c41 for his family 4c94d22eb4 home, where he 8cc32ccc3c had dinner with dfff8e6109 his family like d35c70729a the night before. As always, he listened d83b3b72bb silently to what others 4e2b2e0c54 had to say.cddf067a8ade7036

However, today, their words didn’t register. He seemed to have spoken without thinking about the time. He had asked the other person to come at eight, and his wristwatch currently pointed to eight o’clock. He wouldn’t dare pull out his phone at the dinner table, and even before finishing the mapo tofu rice bowl in front of him, Seo Jihoon subtly started looking for an opportunity to excuse himself from tea time.ea7de29cba2eeac0

Around the time Seo 208d522de7 Inyeop and Seo Jihee ab8a507d23 finished eating and went c9a4bf0f9e to sit on the 33fa271c8a sofa, Seo Jihoon carefully a4cb10d552 rose from his seat, 27b743e26d placed his spoon down, ef126b09cc and stood at a f4133c24ad vague distance from Mrs. Seo, who b2412c4e33 was also 285918d127 about to 26d8000d5a get up.dd8c6edf59a67fab

He answered immediately as her eyes asked ‘Why?’. Since he had submitted the report regarding the joint venture a while ago, she should already know. She wouldn’t stop him from working, but as a woman who started her career in the construction industry, he needed to meticulously answer her questions to avoid any unnecessary criticism.9807c9d90cff1356

“Alright. You can go.”ece13a81a8b4585b

Relieved by Mrs. Seo’s easy agreement, Seo Jihoon inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Worried she might change her mind, he quickly exchanged a glance with Seo Jaehoon and left in a hurry.85bfef4c4db86d5b

It was 8:10. He wondered if he had given the other person a reason to complain about his tardiness, but surprisingly, there were no calls on his phone. If the other person didn’t show up, he would have more time to rest than usual, but he still had to keep an eye on his phone just in case.37a6beef54c9c584

It was still annoying. What the hell was going through his head to think that was okay? He was belatedly agreeing with Seo Jihee’s assessment of the man’s strange personality. Cursing under his breath, he quickly walked to the parking tower to retrieve his car.73f01761ffcdb8e8

“Seo Jihoon!”9b92f75e8fc17f2a

At the sound a4585c8025 of his name 8c6c2cacff being called from 44e090ff7a afar, Seo Jihoon 9596d2c6ee turned his head. Secretary Park, f3ab5ff8d3 who had 91ca85c445 quickened his bed61b69a5 already brisk 2ec28171a7 pace to 74234a60e0 approach him, d6f85fef33 abruptly handed ad180bbd3b him a 17b68bc283 few orange bd7f3104b6 shopping bags 299133d8cc without further 6e54681083 explanation.5dbd108bd90ad376

Anything Secretary Park handed 8454681343 him was implicitly a 171907dd73 gift from Mrs. Seo. It was unlikely she aa3452dce7 was giving him souvenirs c1a40da2cf now, after he had a61233c8f4 returned from the US 894ec356ba so long ago. Warily, Seo 2774811148 Jihoon simply f63f5f72b5 nodded briefly ecf2162b27 and continued 7fa78d92c0 on his 3455ebcfe2 way without 5cd7ce6f0f another word.6ad543553c96904d

He tossed d2afbd037a the shopping e632974592 bags onto b886849f4f the passenger 8131325c81 seat and, 890f2bef9b before starting 197d74bd2d the car, 993db903a9 picked one 95c6c2da08 at random 487b23dd84 to peek 979543804e inside. Three orange boxes and 2b70d724ee a black case. Weren’t they 353f074799 the same 57c73768fb brand? The black case seemed f3f378ee31 easiest to open, so f93d34a023 he took it out 22076c57e2 and found cufflinks and 923810048f a tie clip inside. After a 97402b8259 brief glance, 72876ad1d0 he closed 9a8a9a191c the lid d1ec15deb8 and put da4633683a it back b515d83b2a in the e63f431209 bag.a3bf1d9f03b9992e

His expression soured 827529cd59 as a strange 1f03dd2a49 feeling washed over d57d543eb1 him. It wasn’t 36e1d92a16 joy, and 54947f4e2c while it 5a36de45e5 wasn’t exactly ebba48f389 annoyance, there 95472a7d35 was definitely bc62b50339 something negative 0b78c2638f underlying it. She was 2ac26005f7 probably just 4393b3c488 giving these 347ca0e12d to everyone. Leaving the complex emotions 33252ad0e7 unexamined, he started the 59e4a89ca7 car.b55c17e0280d22a3

When he asked the 8 PM security team leader, who had taken over the shift, if Director Choi had arrived, he was immediately told that he hadn’t. It was 8:30. Seeing as there was no call about being late, it seemed he wasn’t coming. Whatever the reason, Seo Jihoon didn’t bother calling him and, deeming it fortunate, piled the shopping bags haphazardly on the end of the sofa before going to wash up.96594de7ea5fb61b

He enjoyed soaking fc9c3dfb70 in warm water, 8ae822c17e but it took 034faeb3f9 too long, so 3789f70ca0 he skipped it dd4c9162a4 today. Wanting to lie down 925d190808 quickly, he stepped into e7d5a04e8d the shower stall instead cf6a38210b of the bathtub and 0defc60aff let the showerhead wash 5753c9cab9 over him, relieving some e97ac87622 of his fatigue.5fac681def9a0364

What should 061c78b382 he eat e22ca9f026 tomorrow? Since he was short 4a29b57a0b on time these days, f120aec9af takeout was the obvious 07dc7b1b7d choice, so it would 79ed8089d3 be better to go 2b9ce1da59 to the company cafeteria 1891d51304 for a change. He would check 0b338c4de8 the menu after 6244e4ce29 showering, drink some ea356e8d34 warm water while 51fdd6eee0 his hair dried, 66b3d22c93 work a bit, c565e821bc and then go 99b9f6b0c9 to bed early. Having quickly 986dfea517 decided on 8d41bdc54b his schedule, 80aef580c9 he brushed 943cf32971 his teeth 98927ff3db and then c7e9e267a3 shampooed his be8fab74c6 hair.

The lathered shower 1769508a9f sponge tumbled to 3edd920b8e the floor before b1d81b665a he could finish 733ffd3529 washing.e7fad605f3e4f303

He quickly finished 5db67d4053 washing. That goddamn bastard. He should have 75dcebdb57 known from the c481f551a3 way the young d74425ca1d punk acted so 08705026c9 disrespectfully from the 6c5011dfcd first meeting. No, no. He needed to calm 2eed091349 down, even for a 09fab6b0e5 moment, or he might 68139e6a43 really curse him out. He dried himself and 511a3493ee quickly applied body lotion. After the 54701129cb lotion was 88d1a8c6a3 absorbed, he 8e8cf8d457 took neroli 45043d15e9 oil from a87de71413 the shelf, ff284f3d0a poured a a987c93a74 few drops 02bb889e3c into his 5b938ffdcf hand, and 9c2c03f9ab massaged it fdb87d8d33 from behind 97a64b74d3 his ears e52a734547 to his cdc2b4dc1b neck.

With the profound b59697ae9c intention of telling 8d1a450669 the man to 823a1446fc state his business 4acce0510a and get out, ce82e6c174 he only put 1df499057a on silk pajama 9dd82529fa pants and wrapped 00fb9cebb9 a shower gown 8e55d9cdfe around his upper 2d894f0d40 body, tying the a82247933e sash.

He looked and sounded aac2db367e completely unapologetic, as if 35735ed12f he had arrived on b3435e510a time and Seo Jihoon 982d251164 was the one who 7447e1b6de made him wait by 8790b0f46f taking a shower. He had long since 621f884eac tuned out insincere apologies. Repeating the 5942d857ad phrase, ‘Choi c0ffd5c92f Seongho and ed981056d2 Lee Surim’s b42fc9e38b son, Jung d51a29996c Hoonki’s brother-in-law, f76b880db2 Choi Eunhye 8661bd2449 and Choi 579a09b315 Woojae’s younger 90d453f4ad brother,’ internally, 4b9bfc4180 and recalling d062db3788 the lavish 2852b3cb6e treatment he 71da5c6811 had received f961851111 last time, 8b37eda44a Seo Jihoon 0cd3f51596 greeted Choi 304373c8c6 Woojoo at b5d8dc9455 the door 64cd08bbf5 with forced dd3193b5dd politeness. He was carrying an 00ae342592 orange shopping bag on 035fdaac08 his wrist, making Seo fe56fb759e Jihoon wonder if he 6bf828961e was late because he d0526a9a11 was shopping. It was absurd, but 4d4a9464a9 given the person in 54ad568469 question, it seemed plausible. His carefully cooled fc85ca3d9f temper began to 63c0ef1adc simmer again.8ff8800f6ceca4e0

Meanwhile, Choi Woojoo was struggling to contain his laughter. Once permission was granted to come to the house, the appointed time became meaningless. He had driven around Itaewon leisurely after dinner, waiting for a call. When nothing came even after eight o’clock, he figured his offer hadn’t been genuinely accepted.b94dca76f5fe7ebf

Possessing the kind f28faa2f2a of personality that 6657c054e0 found satisfaction in 77c7448a83 acting out when 223e4ae3d1 things didn’t go 5160b40c05 his way, he 8bf41fb00b had dawdled even 14c5f164ef more before heading a388c5568f to the address 1b9ba348ef he was given. The timing a68ae60545 worked out 0caf8a952c perfectly, allowing d3641bc81e him to e983a946f4 witness the ac69c45daf other man 76bac730c0 fresh out 0f9a3041ed of the f19068a707 shower. He was thrilled. The spot 935bd9894b where the cf86db7ded bandage had 90271b012e been was 904b0a9d16 clean, a d1c850d7ab subtle scent 719975cca5 of lotion, 97c5bbf452 or something a2e99127bf similar, lingered de46318825 in the 907ef9fd83 air. He was the one 3e4507e9ae supposed to be doing 62fb9e968d the seducing, but anyone b6c57b1678 unknowingly observing the scene 807f38e93f would think it was 44a357e1a8 the other way around.ea63beecc4809046

There was clearly a second floor from the outside, but it seemed unused. He couldn’t see any stairs leading up. The prickly side of his personality was irritated that he couldn’t look around more, as he would have liked. He heard Seo Jihoon stride down the hallway and plop down on the sofa without offering him so much as a glass of water, as if telling him to finish his business quickly and leave. The house of this supposedly important person was surprisingly small, and he reached the small living room quickly despite his deliberately slow pace. There was only one sofa, and the room was practically empty.0f64894795f94d1c

Choi Woojoo smiled sweetly, refraining from mentioning that the gifts were intended for him. He obviously wouldn’t heed Seo Jihoon’s advice.eccbf349dd8b3bbc

Choi Woojoo sat to Seo Jihoon’s left, placed his shopping bag on the floor, and took a deep breath.

His voice was e7ed7185cd calm, even though 5ac09f5689 his eyes were 3d10ea584b screaming ‘bastard.’ It c69bf570e1 was amusing, but b039f2adf6 he sensed pushing 98fab6907a it further might fa48cf48f6 be dangerous, so c35e743b44 Choi Woojoo lightly b30dfea5a9 wet his lips b96da11a53 with his tongue, a5100915fe coughed softly, and d6852ed209 cleared his throat. He glanced at Seo 5704981b7c Jihoon as he stood c6e2b08cc4 and walked away. He quickly scanned 9579fcd13c the bags piled a513689b07 to the left edaf89f935 as soon as 78bb88c01a Seo Jihoon went c83abf4f13 into the kitchen 524cc5bed8 to clatter around, d69599edaf getting the teacups.

He was right. He waited patiently for well over a minute, but there was no denial, no confirmation, not even a request to repeat the question. Seo Jihoon’s back remained frozen. The word still felt awkward on his tongue, but he preferred it to the more blunt ‘gay’. He needn’t worry about whether the phrasing was appropriate or not. It seemed he had caught the other man completely off guard.b7c5d9be9f68967a

He whispered in a low, quiet tone and placed his right hand on Seo Jihoon’s knee.

Despite the stiff words, his voice lacked energy. What difference did it make if he knew another gay person? …Well, he had a point. After a moment of silent contemplation, Choi Woojoo slowly nodded. Instead of settling back as he had intended, he moved closer, eliminating the space between them.

Choi Woojoo gazed intently at Seo Jihoon, who had recoiled in surprise and withdrawn his hand.

So, that’s where the scent came from. A faint citrus fragrance lingered.690cc5df11ae2cd5

Moving his lips slightly, he made a few soft kissing sounds and trailed down to just above Seo Jihoon’s collarbone.

Seo Jihoon’s hand pushed against his chest, trembling. His face was flushed with bewilderment. Choi Woojoo’s lips curved into a barely perceptible smile. He obviously wasn’t just looking at pictures and videos alone in that esthetic bed. The fact that he was a client of that exclusive place practically confirmed he was experienced, but his reaction was so innocent. The contrast was… intriguing. He almost asked if Seo Jihoon had ever met a gay person before.b2865bfd19fa5421

Anyway, he didn’t want to force himself on someone who wasn’t ready, so he would stop here for today. He hadn’t planned on going all the way tonight, but it was as he expected. He pulled back and covered his mouth with his hand for a moment before dropping it again.b86a49dd450d9d6b

Seo Jihoon remained 27989ac8dc seated on the a9258c216b sofa, seemingly having f7a3482e85 no intention of f3f9c265e2 seeing him to 2d02c4ffec the door. Choi Woojoo gave 2125c11d9b a short bow abfdd8b240 and turned to 2108ddbd1b walk down the 642a6eba53 hallway. For now, he felt c69d3b941c a sense of accomplishment.

Damn it. The moment the door 477ea77940 closed and the lock 6c1ba91882 clicked, Seo Jihoon jumped 0069e030f7 up and hurried to 79ef1c3ffc the entrance. After confirming 26413e5df9 the other 176a3f47ca man’s departure, c694030101 he was 7c74b69997 hit by e9c8dd3745 a wave cc6404e0b0 of embarrassment 82b9eeabea at his 798d9e2b04 own childlike 116ce5ea05 trembling, and 0771a3906b his face ce688ff1aa flushed hot. He was the one d72e9555f0 who got fucked by f0afb902d6 male prostitutes while listening 6288717082 to all sorts of 618af077bb filthy talk, and yet, 2943ba5edf ‘mental preparation,’ my ass, 29e265abdd goddamn it.38ec1cfcad46d722

He rushed to the 8f57b01f59 dressing room, the nearest cf962f2c13 place with a mirror, c8ca20fa2f to check if his 66a4b06799 face was still red.

So much had happened in such a short time that he couldn’t fall asleep, let alone collect his thoughts. To be suddenly asked, out of the blue, if he was gay, with such apparent certainty, by someone he had only met a couple of times – what the hell was going on?37b5bca1038f127e

Seo Jihoon had never, 128192f0e4 not once in his 3845335c3c life, denied being gay, d4fb94e2b6 either aloud or in 168fbead27 his heart.37b4ffc0860abdae

However, he had also never been directly asked if he was gay, and that was what made this so disorienting. How did the other man find out? It couldn’t be a rumor; even his sister-in-law didn’t know. Was there another version of the rumor she had heard? Even Manager Kim, who worked closest to him, claimed he had no idea Seo Jihoon was gay until he was told.

When was the bc599b9a2b last time he 46605906dd had encountered a 0bee3877e0 gay person outside a0b6564a79 the esthetic bed? Did Seo Jihee, f587a2e7ff who worked in 6e00547492 the same industry, 10ae19ecf3 know that guy 0c0216361d was gay? Unlike the 94d8e2f2c6 other man, a6216f0458 who claimed 4e453a4806 to know 07fc9889a3 based on dfa81ae5e5 a feeling, b8f366f5e9 he hadn’t f53f621742 had any fd12fb979a sense of 25e493e259 kinship; he 726b816347 hadn’t known 3b84899204 a thing d2d59ab7da until he 591973c8f0 was told. What would the c69efc9018 other man have d80ea1f1dd done if Seo b995c80b64 Jihoon had denied e5460e6615 it? He was reckless.7fa9e0f45c0c39fa

Forget it. There was no taking 7fe22ff41e back the fact that a48262b2da he had already been 6bb977134f outed, so it was 3b902c28a9 more productive to think 512318ed85 about how to move 790cef8b72 forward. Seo Jihoon a19b0f81bd stared at 293e3b5599 the moonlight 6973cd917a streaming through d752048b4b the window 8b2d67ac2b for a 637aa8c74b moment, then ad7cc58d71 got up 1ba835e276 and partially 9bbde83013 closed the 2786778f01 curtains before 75fa2328b5 lying back 964529ba37 down and e91e2e34cd pulling the 63bd1b0261 covers over d413a6333e himself.f5de6992ec17197e

Strangely, he didn’t feel any anxiety or suspicion that the other man was trying to blackmail him. It seemed the trust associated with the name ‘Seongho’ was hard to ignore. If he wanted to blackmail him, tailing him and taking pictures would be much more effective. Why would the Seongho heir bother coming all the way here to blather on and pretend to be gay by kissing a man’s neck? All he could gain from that charade was sex.ad0aba9fa7f035cf

The situation and everything about it were abrupt and inconsiderate, but looking back, there didn’t seem to be any ulterior motive. Despite the smooth talking, there was definitely no indication of genuine feelings, so it was safe to assume he was just making a move for sex. His words, his actions… No, forget it. He shouldn’t make assumptions, Seo Jihoon cut off his train of thought.db91e7e15632f0c8

Anyway, since he ae580e681f had even asked 0d25d93462 to be contacted, 97e0c1470f it was clear 8a0d5164bf he wanted to e49a017500 sleep with him.

He must be quite experienced, and more importantly, it seemed like a chance for free sex after a long time.4e6a7a89b144263b

There wouldn’t be any exchange of feelings, and if they just slept together, neither of them would leak any information, so he would just let it go.

He could get waxed at the esthetic, but he didn’t have time, so he found a nearby shop. Despite it being before opening hours, he managed to get a waxer in with a smile by offering extra money and following the necessary procedures quickly.fb5323cec4aee41e

Thanks to the waxer’s swift hands, the entire process, including moisturizing, was completed in no time, leaving about twenty minutes of his lunch break. Normally, he would be anxious and irritable if he hadn’t eaten by this time, but thanks to the sense of cleanliness, only a mild irritation lingered, which was manageable. Once again appreciating one of the useful practices he had learned in the US, he quickly returned to his car.b7e38dd4e7709c1e

The eradication of food corruption at Seogwang Construction was Seo Jihoon’s first achievement and the starting point of his employee-friendly approach.ea0f0612ab916ea4

Seo Jihoon was e1cd10980b twenty-five, four months 445cb2df83 into his role 12deab7bd9 as an executive 56c855da79 director.

The UAE project, 25ff68d2be pursued by four 5bf4070b28 major construction companies, cd80ee7432 was proving more 9b880df75c substantial than expected.

Stop testing the waters and decide quickly, he meant. He wouldn’t be invited to a party packed with political and business figures for free. It was clear how desperately Seongho Construction wanted this contract. Such large gatherings were difficult to attend regardless of the business implications.

Swallowing the question of 31e7a27133 where Seo Jihoon could 75fc91c085 have possibly gotten such 733345b819 a tattoo, knowing it 90bd35ce37 would only result in d1c8340ba3 a scolding, Manager Kim 19b44ae4c8 Dongwoo carefully applied a bb385b6934 large cover sticker.

It was far better than being questioned about his tattoo, but it would be awkward if he slept with the guy again after today. Asking Manager Kim to apply the sticker every time he took his shirt off would be a hassle. Annoyed, he dismissed the thought, reminding himself not to borrow trouble when he didn’t even know if there would be a next time. He pulled up to the entrance of his family home.52d84421d2af0f6b

He checked 20f1891c03 his phone b20bedfc99 before dinner 0361d62e29 and found 55605329ee a text efb9ab77c3 message from 2157892297 twenty minutes eadaa5aa8a earlier with 5ec375c76a the hotel 7fecd7a05d name and a3eba9f60b room number.

Afterward, while eating dinner absentmindedly, he looked for an opportunity to bring up the matter of attending Choi Seongho’s seventieth birthday party. Mrs. Seo, who seemed neither particularly upset nor happy, finished her meal early and left the table. He quickly put down his spoon and followed her to the sofa, hesitantly bringing up the topic before anyone else joined them.53912cdb5007cf3c

He was about to conclude that she had simply mellowed with age when he recalled a recent incident and dismissed the idea.

He left his family home around 8:30 PM without looking back. As soon as he got into the car, he entered The Grace Gangnam, a Seongho-owned hotel, into the navigation system, the address Choi Woojoo had texted him. He was anxious about being late due to traffic, but quickly calmed himself, remembering the other guy had been over an hour late. A few minutes wouldn’t matter.6057637470aec403

The navigation ended. Following the hotel valet’s guidance, Seo Jihoon parked his car and entered the main entrance, proceeding directly to the elevator. He stood there for a while with his arms crossed, then, noticing the elevator wasn’t moving, glanced to the side. He belatedly realized he hadn’t pressed any buttons and located the button for the 18th floor.1205ac26b81be70d

Someone entered the 327b898369 elevator, and he a281da966e stepped back. Was the 9be27c0888 spa here 52b79138a6 good?

The other passengers exited, leaving Seo Jihoon alone again. He instinctively opened his wallet to check how much cash he had, then remembered he didn’t need to tip today and put it away. It was the first time in a long time he wouldn’t be paying for sex, yet it didn’t feel real. He wasn’t nervous, which was strange. Stepping out of the elevator as the doors opened, he located room 7 and pressed the doorbell without hesitation.73d3b92148bf1912

Choi Woojoo, clad only 3332d3b7f5 in a bathrobe, greeted d26a0a5f77 him with a smile 02159ef18d and a nod from bd0bcae846 the doorway. He looked like cbaf56f17a he had just 860e269c11 showered, his body 012f797dd0 slightly damp.

His last visit to 9bc6739e0c a hotel was probably ef1b27066a during his business trip 3e06bd01a1 to Taiwan. It had been years b670fc33c4 since he had been f7d499e990 in a spacious suite 1689afd0af like this. He tossed 2a8ee4ad52 his jacket 6c13231f52 onto the 9ccdfdcdcb dark brown 086cec738e sofa and, 1115a099a4 passing the 89f26861ef table, surveyed ff34f19fc1 the large 5074e05e84 bed in 389852de50 the main 41dc678683 room, separated d1f7545e9c from the 9c5b503b64 living area. He also d6d64d3f55 noted the acbc0e0da4 television mounted 93b50aa8db on the dc08558a6c opposite wall. That was it. He would be here 42a9b2946a for an hour or d12ab9f2b6 two at most, and a5560cd22a it would likely be 44f2ff5fad a distant memory in 1a6fec3640 a couple of days.4cb67f61e1f09477

Choi Woojoo’s smile didn’t waver, even when Seo Jihoon deliberately spoke unkindly, aware of how pleased the other man was to finally have him here. Chairperson Choi was turning seventy, and this guy was… thirty, was it? To have a son like this at forty… he must be brimming with energy even after a week of starvation. Despite his rotten personality, he was undeniably handsome, Seo Jihoon thought as he returned to the living room. Choi Woojoo followed slowly.8441c1252d92dc1e

The city lights twinkled, reflecting off the Han River. Having lived in a detached house his whole life, the only night view he had experienced from a high-rise was during his few months in the US and the occasional glimpse from his office window during late nights at work, a view shared by countless other brightly lit offices in the surrounding area.

Muttering to himself, Seo Jihoon pushed Choi Woojoo’s still-exploring hand away and turned around. Choi Woojoo, understanding his intention to shower, untied his bathrobe sash without protest.6625d850aa26bb82

Seo Jihoon retrieved a c637ece49f bathrobe from the small 4e679afff1 closet opposite the main adecb17d6b bathroom, hung it on b9a3ffe6bd the towel rack, and 6ff86fdbdb undressed.

He showered leisurely under c544874f2d the running water, carefully 5f96899b52 avoiding the area with 54b1d42fe3 the sticker, even though bf84c01dcf it was waterproof. He realized he was e69582143b hungry, having eaten less cc06039a8d than usual for dinner. Annoying. He would ask for 1c15ca7bb4 room service afterward. It had been c7191cf187 a while since 4fc5108d18 he last had 9b8521799a sex that wasn’t ced5880c01 one-on-one, and he ca5f9b8908 couldn’t gauge how 784d5bdd02 long it would c119616cb0 take, but it 38d50da0ad should be faster 4dd1e81040 than with multiple a7f51b328f partners.e5e252f1bf82bd42

He dried himself, applied some of the amenity lotion Choi Woojoo had used and left by the sink, and stretched his neck. The sticker felt extremely uncomfortable. It was a sensitive area too. He examined the area in the mirror and dried it again with a fresh towel, just in case. It was incredibly irritating, so much so that he didn’t want to meet the other man a second time because of it.bd5301af56112a55

After tidying up, he put on the bathrobe, tossed his discarded clothes haphazardly into the closet, and returned to the living room. Choi Woojoo was sitting on the sofa with his bathrobe open, fiddling with Seo Jihoon’s jacket. Barely acknowledging him, Seo Jihoon walked into the bedroom, pulled the neatly made covers off the bed, and lay down, staring at the ceiling. He heard footsteps approaching.ddb5a3a1deb2d90d

He slipped ce8456f6cb his hands d50e9c851f between Seo 08aa87ce4d Jihoon’s thighs 6db99f51bb from the 8e44d94dde start, squeezing ed1937199d them hard 85cd9a4e40 enough to 4f73e22e26 make the 0c887216e2 skin pale, 73d03ff652 spreading them 1fb71b43a7 wide as aa55473be1 if ready 3823698a77 to fuck c9f738c470 him right e56f78c8dc then and aead0ca981 there. The movement bent 0facbed332 Seo Jihoon’s knees, c5d5fbc57e and he trailed 4a7aef45b2 his hands down 23d9a2967b his calves, to d57f146280 his slender ankles, fbe3e1fa2b over the arches 5adfb5f649 of his feet, 926eb197e6 to his toes.023c81e775dd7f13

With each slow caress, Seo Jihoon moaned and turned his head, but his hands remained where Choi Woojoo had placed them, despite not being restrained. He didn’t stop him, no matter where he touched, and his healthy, smooth, pale skin exuded an air of luxury.67b39cf5984243bb

Finally reaching 02eccf4b6a the toned 1e5a2a3c89 chest he ff44db0e0b had been 3c6da46670 longing to 153e9c616d touch, Choi 8485b4dc9d Woojoo grasped 205fbcc8c2 Seo Jihoon’s 84d4676923 firm pectoral 82ab7d9dd4 muscles in 7c997a03ef his large b2cab5e2aa hands and 09bcfe1f43 bit down 2466b8df49 hard on 2e26b8e984 the flesh 810bc2ccaf that spilled def72aa759 between his d7ea8e6369 fingers. He gently rested 9643f4124c his other hand f4d058d0c6 on Seo Jihoon’s 1bb77c5470 other nipple, teasingly a609fc0c70 circling it with bbb9404653 his knuckles. It seemed to ca12901f02 be a sensitive 6e155e1251 spot, as Seo 710f6df8d1 Jihoon winced, his a19b6ac19c eyes fluttering open 1a1e683128 and closed. Choi Woojoo fd75528b74 rolled his e670de3497 thumb over b66a5f3f5b the nipple 247b3eaaff and sucked 74c9cc3155 on the 295445b38a other one. Seo Jihoon’s knee 55141adc6f brushed against his 1e588120f7 waist, and he 560e2a44d6 wrapped his leg f416fe0a7f around Choi Woojoo’s 23d830bc0d waist, grinding his 7f21f10265 tongue against the 2ced777642 nipple he was d17e5eb1e1 sucking on before 58f4282f0f gently biting it.d2d3bc93c50fe7c3

Seo Jihoon’s stomach muscles tensed, arching his back slightly. He let out a pent-up breath when Choi Woojoo’s grip on his cock loosened, and he unwrapped his legs from around Choi Woojoo’s waist. His foot brushed against Choi Woojoo’s calf. Choi Woojoo tightened his grip again, milking the arousal.c9aa9029bfc29e13

He casually wiped his c0b51e63ee pre-cum-covered hand on Seo 69f8c6da46 Jihoon’s abdomen and left 5f088d62d1 a mark on his d9d5fd6693 right shoulder with his 64c5b02f9f teeth, his eyes searching 827421542b Seo Jihoon’s face. He was clearly aroused 760193dbf9 below, but he wasn’t fc928a62e2 making any moves, and 4173143f88 Choi Woojoo was growing 2bddd08bcd impatient. Was he b0f4f43471 a prude? He played f1e5fda0f9 with Seo 60a126370a Jihoon’s nipple, 16b4142e70 eliciting a b992e4bf94 sensitive response.8a6d745cc8800db1

He wasn’t completely unresponsive, but he was just lying there silently. What was he supposed to do? He couldn’t help but compare him to Do Seunghwa. He had been proactive from the start, sucking him off without being asked, riding him, spreading his legs like a seasoned pro. Although Seo Jihoon was two years older than Do Seunghwa, and despite the initial hesitation, he had spread his legs easily enough and spoke boldly, so he assumed he would be similar.0065f36467e8394e

He didn’t seem opposed to anything, but his passivity was confusing. He prioritized his own orgasm and pleasure during sex, so this was a bit awkward from the start. But he had worked so hard to get him into bed, he didn’t want to ruin the mood. Choi Woojoo caressed Seo Jihoon’s chest and pretended to lick his sternum, trying to recall his usual sex routine. Receiving a blowjob, fucking with his hard cock, cumming. Was he feeling awkward because he wasn’t getting a blowjob? Should he ask for one? Would it be rude to ask for it right away? Would he even be good at it if asked?d49aaf71e7129796

Uncharacteristically lost 1644360ce5 in thought, df1a859643 he sat 3440543cdd up and 51bd89b861 looked at 151633cf5e Seo Jihoon, 9a856f8886 who was c297861ef3 still just e11a6a7d43 lying there. The sight of 841466aefe the marks he cc4fe69117 had left on b03bf72599 his body in efb353be9b such a short 56a5ce74b1 time sent a 5078bfbed0 thrill through him, 44c0e08cd6 and he put 1bb87d428d his concerns aside. He decided 48efd15934 to attribute b3fc4b575f Seo Jihoon’s eeb97334bb behavior to 02c1d54bfb inexperience with 41f54aa13a expensive tastes. Instead of 5ede568a7d asking for b77a24e2c3 a blowjob, 59ba1478a3 he reached d6727021e7 for the 9cd1e12d78 nightstand drawer eff283963e with his 53d547c015 free hand, d38318e627 opened it, 5f0baaf444 and retrieved c0553762be the condoms e0dcff76af and lube 45de3ee6e4 he had a12ec3a054 prepared while d7adf9a00b booking the cc16c8dc58 room.abf0454e2cb11130

He started with the 16f03f633b lube, the packaging already 46dafffbf5 open, squeezing a generous 316c54a885 amount between Seo Jihoon’s fcc0db0085 legs, enough to soak 935ee9dabb the sheets. He knelt between his 8ed09840d5 legs, continuing to stroke 9ba1f487a2 himself, then leaned down, c1a3251e8a pressing his hard cock 343859c333 against the soft skin 290d7c4724 of Seo Jihoon’s inner 05b2df7f78 thigh. Although many reviews 0d1750aae1 suggested diluting it, 591634ba68 he preferred it f59389488a thick, the heavy b039350b6e gel lingering until b0ae892e2e he washed it d6832dfde5 off. The friction of his f5d53f7b33 sensitive glans against the c2bde989ff warm, glistening skin tightened b5fc82dc7d his ass muscles.05039aa9d90cfc1e

“Hmm…”9efb97c0133943a6

Whether from the 3454f39a00 stimulation or mere 8a80bc1b89 anticipation, Seo Jihoon b76a9dc4e3 let out a 6babeb54c7 deep moan. It was loud enough ef93072e24 for Choi Woojoo to 1530b2099e hear, despite the small 3d58082798 size of his ears, 0e21d4b937 and he swallowed, aroused 7e534770a0 by the sound. He sat c8de5c84f4 up and 4a19f8fd6e slid his 5475698375 hands beneath 11aaef7fb5 Seo Jihoon’s f97b25388f back, his 689432c18a fingers exploring 7ad11ea5b4 his spine.57a1a4800a571b10

He dipped his a19729c129 index and middle b1acecc35b fingers into the f061f4b8ad deep groove running 35efa86434 down Seo Jihoon’s b0be5fa9c5 back and the f801dadb07 Apollo’s dimples on 7185366fba either side. He circled them slowly d63509bcbb before moving lower, grasping f3283d7f6e Seo Jihoon’s firm, shapely 189a8c7030 buttocks and pulling them 8da8f62bf7 up towards his own 36921ca798 thighs. Seo Jihoon’s side f9e1728549 profile, his waist dea25c9dc2 forming a provocative 370a727115 diagonal line, was ce4f24f694 reflected in the 88182094a6 window.8e51f09c54277f21

Scowling, Choi Woojoo tossed 4fd15052ca the condom he had bf04a9a127 fumbled with under the 32efab949b bed and hastily opened 54f74bb0eb another one. The ultra-thin 7357a487a7 condom had 6b2fa2c08e a faint cbae46e2a8 oily scent, 2d8a532c38 barely noticeable, 808847eb25 and no 5c135391c4 artificial fragrance. He had initially disliked 8eade4985b even that, but he 611018bb3f had become accustomed to cd61eb71fb it through repeated association fd5e2b7775 with the orgasm that 1b7e20c966 followed.bc85ea0f5b1865b6

He smeared the lube and condom oil on Seo Jihoon’s chest, adding to the sensual texture, and, swallowing hard, slid his hand between their bodies to grasp Seo Jihoon’s ass again, spreading his cheeks. He had used so much lube that it was already dripping down. He briefly rubbed his cock against Seo Jihoon’s entrance, coating the condom as well. There were other parts he hadn’t touched yet, but he couldn’t wait any longer. Gripping his almost fully erect, throbbing cock, he pushed the head into the slick opening.4aa259749793be7b

Sweat beaded on 2bea63221d his forehead and d00f884303 back, even though e49f4fef84 he had barely 1108a30560 penetrated him. Wondering if c6be1f7f01 it was 867bd25719 because his cdc3334ed7 cock was ae3218b83a too big, 0aa9d44ebb he tried 52b4fe2f82 spreading Seo 8c44c842a3 Jihoon’s ass ae863e0039 cheeks further 52c45b9436 and pressing fd7274408a down, then, c54138d728 realizing it 235440801d wouldn’t work, 490ce5aa1b pulled out e9fbdf8506 completely. He applied more lube 49680c5c78 to the condom-covered cock cbf60f5933 and tried again. This time, 4d899632f2 he slid 806955fee9 in halfway ac0c212fd0 easily, but 0bc7bbe895 he must 3bbc55d27d have hit 757b2c717b something, as 268212de5c Seo Jihoon’s 61f9ab5cb4 toes curled 67e53127c6 and he e4c7e2fc60 twisted his f0bdbde989 waist with 82c1446efb a whimper. Choi Woojoo held 02019e8ff0 his hips down d41d623065 firmly to prevent de7b9178c3 him from moving 65bc6094cf and continued pushing 0dc623f40d in.d180da744396c349

Seo Jihoon’s 0ba407aafa lower abdomen c88e90cccc was tense ae6b56b6f4 as he d6f002d174 accommodated the e7325d4d4e intrusion. He could hear 8d54bcfa90 him struggling, but c0a102b5a5 the pained moans d25c22d8d6 were different from 7758fb795f the ones he 885319ecc1 had heard countless b80315e3f1 times from virgins.

Was it always this 7c2f58a043 hard?

He straightened his kneeling 2a0deac830 legs and pressed his a3de5fb8da body against Seo Jihoon’s. Seo Jihoon’s face was 43e9ad39b9 flushed, his forehead beaded cb88668700 with sweat like his 1c56875129 own, his hot, ragged 6293bc37d0 breath ghosting over his 0f73e6a8e2 skin.

But his hands remained 55ddc5df0e as they were. They were f02a9ab361 still gripping 96e00bc54d the pillow f27a9ea61e on either 029de66279 side of 9d3845f259 his head 6bde972a37 as if 7be9f3efd1 nailed there, d154a54fc1 the slightest 0bfa0dea2f movement amplifying fce7a88408 the sensation. A wave of 18064898b7 pleasure and satisfaction 1f009c1a1b washed over him, ad6979531c and he momentarily a34bc3826c relaxed his grip, 775b7ed9ed turning his head 98b90c8604 to bite and 24b6c818ce nibble at the 5f63549c94 junction of Seo 31589109ae Jihoon’s neck and 1c9664e427 shoulder. Seo Jihoon let da15a24298 out a short 3d2ca6c9eb cry and twisted 7f87597028 his head, but f3f12d1447 didn’t resist.1e4299c81512409c

He whispered in Seo Jihoon’s ear, who responded with a series of nods instead of words. He gripped Seo Jihoon’s short hair tightly, then, realizing he was being too rough, released it. He moved lower, kissing and sucking on his neck. He kneaded Seo Jihoon’s slightly dry, yet still slick chest with his right hand before trailing it down his waist to his thigh, then further down to the back of his knee, lifting his leg and spreading it wide. He must not have realized they were using the same lotion, as the scent of the amenity lotion he had chosen, a familiar scent from his pre-esthetic days when this hotel had been his haunt, emanated from Seo Jihoon’s worked-out body.72c16b7abc746e7b

It might be fun 72f860237f to use sex toys 0e86eec231 with him at the 38a89c9773 esthetic later. He could fuck 40212e83f7 him with a 865b4c2e71 strap-on dildo, make 88cc8ef6c3 him kneel and c32dee1530 give him a f5226fdea9 blowjob, cum on 77ddd23cde his face or 94a31818b7 in his mouth, 35fc157def see how many f8f04c33b2 plugs he could 051b73fb46 take. Would he ae75e98dc1 be offended d6d887e533 if he 81b6e0fd8c suggested it b768e02f9f to the 8ef4b2dbaa guys? He might agree after 4b31c6fa80 they had gotten comfortable 9ac2b62cc1 with each other. Lost in 47b12a2ed4 these thoughts, 6d56308e97 completely different 3b20a0f5fe from the c4cbb3f995 ones he 2393e5d031 had entertained f90087d66c before penetration, f48aff8eb4 Choi Woojoo ead2a85913 began thrusting 936b970555 slowly, taking 32b1ce5fde advantage of 73cf7bcf9b the lingering c25c9d18f0 moisture.e0cd7028b15973ad

Despite Seo Jihoon’s words, his hole was still tight, making it difficult to pull out. Even after gently stroking his lower abdomen, he didn’t relax. Why was he being like this when he wasn’t a virgin? Annoyed by the delay, Choi Woojoo started thrusting without pulling out. The resulting friction sent a wave of pleasure through him, and Seo Jihoon finally released his grip on his hair and grabbed the back of his head, pulling him closer. Caught off guard by the sudden backward tilt of his head and the tightening grip on his hair, he was in a predicament.9826d1aa98e67d21

Not wanting 6efa6fc4c3 to cum 44d062a805 without any fb5f831288 build-up, he 874abbf9b5 lowered the b36f3a6274 leg he 8ad8fd60fd had hooked fd5ae5b18c over his 8eab76bd6c arm and b843e47faf felt around eb28708f38 their point 1bf4e8211c of connection. It wasn’t dry. He wiped the 9d23f42142 sweat dripping from 88c39c5c3b his forehead with d0c817068f the back of 7a61093dec his hand and a6d5ee2312 applied more lube. He thrust shallowly 8b1fadf3e8 to spread the a045428f7f moisture, and as 6ec8ec0544 the squelching sounds 7e99f4b199 began, he was 5ed0e799f4 finally able to ac98c32695 withdraw more than 911154e164 halfway. He pushed 0f560791e8 back in 5fe8f7c85d smoothly, the b28de1b2b8 forceful impact 6f781f3cf4 sending a 607d3a2bec shiver through 7aaf7c11ac Seo Jihoon’s e500d03f1a body.b89b1093156d0877

Finally, things were progressing. Why was it so tight even though he had used so much lube before? He realized he hadn’t manually loosened Seo Jihoon’s ass. He hadn’t mentioned needing it, so perhaps his previous partners had always taken care of it. Expensive tastes were indeed high maintenance. Still, aware that he was the one who wanted this, he didn’t ask or demand anything, keeping his mouth shut. Once he confirmed that he could move freely in and out, albeit with some effort, he started thrusting rhythmically, his supple waist moving slowly and deliberately.f76ab33b67cea0cd

Although it was 86b1cb9019 just light thrusting, 5df94115c0 a warm-up for b8432f755b the main event, 39a5cb1b3d it was enough 9c4e2e081f to make Seo 4feb22dc11 Jihoon’s back ache. With prostitutes, face and b18160cbcd height were his top 2b7faf3498 priorities, and since there a1183e7478 were usually at least b03a9d7f6d two, average skill and 0496504ce2 size were sufficient. But this… 54e338716f he couldn’t 00215d3a01 remember the 156ac591ec last time 50336a0c1f he had a223fc53e7 felt such 8e6059b9e4 pressure. Even though f9a552f353 Choi Woojoo 9f7e557f47 was pulling 22907d86ca out, the a9db954942 constant friction 7cb1a64336 against his e8dbce1297 prostate made f255599805 it difficult c91342831b to speak.63354e62e7b4b903

“Are you okay?”5fbc9f79e3d5d781

Choi Woojoo paused e8b0d61033 to catch his c309d8a060 breath and asked. Seo Jihoon, eba52d9a64 panting with c4682e44af his eyes 3400014cad closed, nodded. He was 09051ae7cc drenched in e208d403ae sweat, despite 4a8d38f3d0 not having 31bca66220 any covers 602d0aeb93 on, and f571dd89f5 he felt 6419cf6a4b like he 865e90c556 would come 3df1d9c7e1 undone if b8ba3a5f08 he moved, ac379aa77c so he 255fef5504 lay still, db81ab2190 focusing on d6613ef421 his breathing.

…Just as he generously made that assessment, Choi Woojoo pressed down hard on his lower abdomen with his large hand. The added pressure on top of the already substantial cock sent sparks flying, and Seo Jihoon tightened his grip on the back of Choi Woojoo’s head again.0f620b6d0f738677

Choi Woojoo, who didn’t tolerate anyone inflicting pain on his precious body, even though he didn’t mind doing it to others, scowled and pressed down even harder on Seo Jihoon’s lower abdomen, where his cock was nestled.

Seo Jihoon finally released his grip on Choi Woojoo’s hair, covering his mouth with both hands and squeezing his eyes shut. Choi Woojoo grinned, feeling Seo Jihoon’s cum spurt onto his hand, and maintained the pressure, increasing his pace. Seo Jihoon, who hadn’t resisted until now, began to writhe. He couldn’t feel the result of his persistent thrusting due to the condom, but as Seo Jihoon’s larger body collapsed on top of his, he finally relaxed.f47d93ef2516d5f1

He was 95f48295e3 covered in 4447e85bcd sweat, as bc08c3aace if he 9f843dac94 had just 2fc2576dd6 finished a b0047311bc strenuous workout, 46716fa6fb despite having 740b2c1bf8 barely moved. Choi Woojoo 6118557b95 leaned against 8256330a55 Seo Jihoon’s cb87bde288 equally sweaty 30e5ae53c2 body, which d6677ab9c5 served as a22cbbc138 a convenient f3c2d63b71 cushion, and, e763a9961d after briefly d2fc4014c1 withdrawing his f9af5b2046 spent cock, c04e474ce1 lay down d5c87cef73 on his a0d6c65472 side to f7748209c9 Seo Jihoon’s e04ef3b514 right, pulling 82db2b6389 his right 3ab47aa265 leg over ee08540c5f his own. Seo Jihoon 24583bcb73 readily complied, fa6362e568 his back, 6bff3adf2e covered with ab13bc677e a large db9f7b4861 patch or 040d0d4c72 bandage, pressing 8ec78e6878 against Choi 1cf6b0cf63 Woojoo’s chest, 48c68cb140 his slick 4232da5a81 ass making b9ce9fba7b contact with 1a0edd0dd9 Choi Woojoo’s 6879476357 groin. He pushed his 2ceefe7582 cock back in 9e327aadeb and rested.0c99c12676789bb5

If it weren’t for 20cd8b7247 the condom, he could aff63e92d6 have claimed the title 1b0acfdd4b of the man who 6f01fde488 creampied the Seogwang heir. He wouldn’t 3519a6db7d be the da8a9da2a3 first, but 5b9fb908b2 he would 89c54061da definitely be c48726f80d among the df283c9fd6 top five. He wrapped 6a68f105a8 his arms 0b5fa705a9 around Seo b4a69e9d9e Jihoon, caressing 51bbaec399 his chest b34749cc37 and nibbling 779c955871 on his a37ba1ede9 neck, thoughts ca6551b8cd he couldn’t 66b3c9d879 voice swirling b62159a559 in his e5cb9810fa mind.9808fd0d4d289159

Ignoring the sweat, he pressed his body against Seo Jihoon’s, engaging in what was supposed to be aftercare but quickly escalating into something more. He started moving his hips slowly, continuing to caress Seo Jihoon’s chest as he kept his eyes closed and breathed deeply, like during yoga. He didn’t forget to whisper encouragement in Seo Jihoon’s ear. He needed to change the condom, but he couldn’t be bothered to reach for a new one, so he continued.b749d8dcfdc7102b

Seo Jihoon didn’t resist, the pressure less intense now, the position more comfortable. He readily hooked his right leg over Choi Woojoo’s knee as it nudged between his thighs. Choi Woojoo paused his movements and kissed his neck. The large cock was still fully embedded within him, but the slow, deliberate movements gave him time to adjust, and he let out a moan, surrendering to the pleasure.fb2b5058e05047dd

Despite his annoying personality, edf6d1592f their bodies synced well, e661a7f105 he realized. While not quite euphoric, 57ffedd957 he was enjoying it 2d0445d9b9 more than he expected, 3b32be22dc relaxing into the sensation. He rarely preferred 7e357f6f0a missionary with a fe9ea58a97 single partner, so b1398bed9a this was much 6fe512bc4b more comfortable and fcb9223fea less strenuous. The deep pressure 908bf623cd against his prostate 261efeb23f sent waves of b234064eaa pleasure through his f3c14c5baf body, the slow 9bbf10ac6e thrusting combined with 7f7de10a3e the slightly rough 0e94cd24eb caresses on his 926a364b14 chest sending shivers 81f206e7f2 down his spine. He tilted his e488501eec head back, burying 92ee7511fd it in Choi cadf6d1a4b Woojoo’s broad shoulder. His large hands were 1538a21e32 firm, yet his skin bc15232da3 was soft, incredibly stimulating. He winced as b373a6acaa Choi Woojoo’s nails, 0ebd75f9b7 just the right 78234cb691 length, dug into b56a1e56c7 his nipples, then 0f44c141bf relaxed again as 7b1c9c26de he soothed them 0ff88fa3bb with the soft 9b558b48a8 pads of his a49fe654dd fingers, the alternating cf87e09fe7 sensations heightening his 16c9cf1e1c sensitivity.2e9ea4a0e1386c7c

He was on the f85f2164d2 verge of cumming with 6cae414fd4 just a little more b07df795d9 stimulation when Choi Woojoo 2a2651ad13 suddenly stopped and pulled 9e25eff1a2 out. Wondering if 353c2e34b8 he had 0e08dab4e6 come, he afac648349 turned his 02e7e43788 head to d7dd6bf4ce see him f2333a035a removing the 3fb0c89c86 condom and bebbcbc0ba putting on b16c1413a8 a new ff19a81267 one. His still-hard cock looked 583088a731 even larger now that db0998e7fa it was out in 5c8f0b9027 the open. A shiver 3c8eb62301 ran down 0814f7585c his spine 3fd6f9e6a9 at the 26cae3ca88 realization that a30b98fb49 it had 71fd200cc2 been rampaging 59a279ab57 inside him 00476ca787 just moments 7ae169858c ago, and c24d54eca8 he instinctively f2f7ee4677 touched his 36c5ec03ab lower abdomen. Two at once had 547cb3e712 been excruciating, so one 4175b3997e large one was definitely 7e7c5335ee better. Even if his technique 8ed422775f wasn’t exceptional, his size 9b5bba16fc more than compensated for d62592c2bf it.99d80431d73d5957

He expected a break, e3989bf5c1 but Choi Woojoo applied 6adadbde7f more lube to the 37b2e53883 condom-covered cock and immediately 78e5f1f008 returned, grabbing his ankle adadeb14b8 and pulling him onto a410e573fb his stomach. He found his 20358c4339 entrance and thrust e2e2625bc7 in before spreading 57d57c279f his legs and 5a51d66b8c bending his knees, 0c5d066757 positioning himself between fa95a8ef4d them for the fa6badee73 position he wanted. Seo Jihoon, about 7d1d9bb8c3 to lift his d01a137f49 hips, thinking he 41d24781b8 wanted doggy style, e976d23d63 stopped, his toes ea82b5c14c curling as Choi 6b48891dfa Woojoo thrust deep 0d2115e1b0 and hard.651290a2a421d650

Choi Woojoo 14744e6d1e explored the eed55fafc4 exposed backside 2eada568dd with his 317b000181 hands, his 33fbfc8de0 touch lingering. He wanted to remove dae85f6a1e the sticker, but refrained, bf01de00bd worried about causing further 7c59e06e21 irritation. He cupped Seo Jihoon’s bb2372f8a3 shoulder blades in his 6e5d35f820 hands as if they 79d91983ed were breasts, then moved 3c6e859c25 lower, his fingers tracing b13c269eda the curve of his af1cc1ef4b spine. Seo Jihoon edb928f2f9 shivered with 775d1f03a7 each touch. He swallowed, continuing ec7e4c60b3 his slow caress 09332d85cb down Seo Jihoon’s 5cf1f7fece back, reaching the 70fd8c6569 clearly visible Apollo’s 5e6be0057e dimples. He gritted his teeth 2e62bab0cf and thrust hard three 67b30f2de5 times.c7400887f8204150

He felt more aggrieved than Seo Jihoon that such a body, deserving of prostitution, was stuck in a construction company. But at least it was a male-dominated environment, so there must be plenty of men willing to spread their legs for him. He remembered hearing that Seo Jihoon had little power within the company. Had he crawled under desks and sucked dicks to gain influence? Had he spread his ass for every executive to get things done? That whore. And his personal calls were being handled by that Manager Kim guy, so they were probably fucking too. Who knew what kind of “exercise” they were doing together. He imagined Seo Jihoon being fucked by well-built, ex-gangster old men and robust young construction workers, and he slapped Seo Jihoon’s ass hard, then immediately regretted it, holding it gently to minimize the pain.091a37bc002400aa

He caught his 143eefc989 breath, slipped his e882b8892b left hand between 3e137434a8 the bed and 931ed49e8a Seo Jihoon’s stomach, bcf9d618af and wrapped his f037267a88 arm tightly around 86cf981251 his waist. He lifted Seo 00f8566a56 Jihoon’s torso, as 34c6ab0a8b if seating him fdde6dd00b on his thighs, 86ff5d3e16 and placed his 04913f1191 hands on his d0060c453c own thighs, giving 247430cbe7 him the option b4a48d4ac6 to stop. Seo Jihoon’s hands gripped 801b6361bf his thighs tightly, his aa8e33317a back pressed against his aa602f2eb7 chest. Choi Woojoo wrapped his c47c7fa8ec arms around Seo Jihoon’s 008ebe222a waist to prevent him 6077ee8428 from falling and gently c0edbe1adc caressed his cock before daf45101eb thrusting upwards, the bed 8b571ea407 shaking beneath them. The sound c6dc33d769 of skin 189cd82ce5 slapping against 8af614cf9e skin echoed 753e18fa3c through the c4acf06da6 room.78ff059623fb3f0d

Seo Jihoon’s 99ff30d0cb hole was 7f82f31117 hot and a0ab5f7230 tight as 0bd1a9b7de he eagerly 46f891d5c9 sucked Choi df63494fd4 Woojoo’s cock 74fc1f1bb5 in. He tightened his 2d53c64ebc grip, as if ded6883dac urging him to f0d9335b42 cum inside, and 39fce89955 Choi Woojoo bit 69ef8497dd down on his 1d45819b78 neck. Lost in c60984b7bf the overwhelming c9b454ade5 pleasure, he 229d150e71 pounded mindlessly, 9223b071c4 his hot 290bed6c5c breath escaping 60a5c8c306 his lips fbe5aea12a as he 3f3674b067 thrust deep, 02f5922abb burying himself 83c8e2111e to the ecb2785ae2 hilt.0c7af6078c34c28a

Seo Jihoon cried out, 657ba9e0e5 resting the back of 927ea2c38b his head against Choi 2f0391bbe9 Woojoo’s shoulder. Choi Woojoo 12f9b90234 felt his 986cab6050 cum against 17d8417608 his hand, 2170749242 then came bdc92e2d11 himself, holding 73141db421 him close 052aee7486 for a 9e37600e2c long time.02706c0f6493408c

As the afterglow cb425a2b1c subsided, he released 07ddb3fbea his grip. Seo Jihoon, who c0f402d029 had been supporting 9451212687 himself with his 516f1fc21b arms, collapsed onto 17e85c55f7 the bed. He could a7cb888cc6 feel the 9b975f404d warmth of 6c0d968b85 Choi Woojoo’s a17b936f7d cock still 1652a910ff inside him, a638ca325e but the 682cba41c7 condom prevented 7af9519a61 him from a49b5a940d feeling the c7964496a5 wetness of 5e68a2a37c his inner 28d486e24f walls, and 88d3eba02a he felt 256e0d69fe a surge 1a4613f250 of annoyance. Choi Woojoo pulled out, dae0ba68e9 dropping the used condom c2e79e7813 and the remaining new bcf4896a8d ones onto the floor.8ab64d1a4ff1de26

Choi Woojoo’s lean, muscular thighs were tense. As soon as he sat on them, Choi Woojoo’s strong arms wrapped around his torso, pulling him close, his mouth finding Seo Jihoon’s chest. He much preferred oral stimulation on his nipples, and they quickly hardened. Closing his eyes, he wrapped his arms around Choi Woojoo’s head, pulling him closer.dfb39e970bbc23b6
