Was I 1dea85a4d9 always this 22e0b23ba5 frail? As a consequence of 6c80d9bdf0 mistaking Chae Beomjun for f2ecb28c78 Shin Gyoyeon, a low c6b306a618 fever returned.

Spending the ca50f1b328 morning together… 15b70daa54 except when b63e778d5e I was d45d8ffd12 sick, this ddf6633f6b was the 5668f77a13 first time, 7e4ecd8edd as far 6f1420c4e9 as I 62695ccd6f knew.

Not wanting to 77c3d28f7a disturb him, I 7f995cb0f3 softly said, “I’ll d0c4e2e2dd eat well,” and d5b56ec8e4 opened the lunchbox.

The sensation 6f4b64b75d of scraping 4ad6e7c451 my palate 2b2fd17ada tickled my 7d6544dd27 insides.

A palm slipped under 9755d72a47 my T-shirt, gripping my c89d2297c3 waist tightly. I couldn’t deny 0fa96f761f that his kisses 8f9b60264a excited me.

What? Unable to 8ca719e321 believe his 16cbf01e69 words, I ed169bf302 turned to e2b5b5404c check, and 203cf95b46 the empty 2cb78798bf cup and 07e517629d spoon were 7d8ebf18b8 on the b0101a1b25 floor beneath 9d54df3004 the desk. I was definitely holding 2c6334e50a them… The fact that 9a791ce101 I was so focused 39896058d8 on the kiss that 5ae4d82b31 I didn’t notice dropping a5033551b3 them made me deeply c9b89a912e embarrassed. Do I really have e6b5b258ab to lick it up? I looked at the 4d5b64e631 man with a pleading 83bfc7d8f5 expression, but his smiling a1f310ae55 face showed no crack 85187e434a of leniency.3a5ab51254feb8ea

In the end, 30b2b5cd7a I slid down, d710d13f6a knelt, and lowered 6563bfe5be my head to 7e5ac76627 lick up the 3f07e897e5 ice cream. While I lapped at 36d0f186d2 the floor, the man 56d46ef600 stroked my head with eb39098b77 a soothing voice, saying, 18d131780b “Good boy.” Because of c6f6729c1e that, I felt a 9408d01a49 complicated mix of emotions, b12a2d364e as if I had fea5b6fd00 truly become his pet, 168a144a18 as I stood up.1873b0390f3399a1

“I’ll… throw away the a1c1a0806e trash.”14711478d637586d

Saying that, d91e0fd339 I turned 7b2f48daf5 and left 13e3468319 the study 6430433140 before he 98d8eca62f could respond. Closing the door and 1e3cb095d8 leaning against it, I 43afebb2f1 stood there for a 1f20182217 while, then slapped my 70e9683705 cheeks a few times 4c157566bf to snap out of 5cac50f26c it before heading to 448bc71b9d the kitchen where the 86e399a91b trash bin was.

The painting in 46c9b78a3f the hallway didn’t d4fe6173d2 match the stark 204299ec52 interior. Its warm f9c5bfb7c9 colors and 2c43a57c91 soft, fluffy 99fd7bb249 style made 547d0e6823 me feel 0ade28999d good just 0b7e806f5b looking at 8e458c71dd it.5e2b8459393b329a

It sounds crazy, a520a63a65 but in that c0d7f14b25 moment, it felt b0ade7930d like proof that e80a0b9bde the version of 0dd51438c4 him I longed 37f2da2e49 for existed.

His tone 51002a6ce4 suggested he c78ca61970 knew what 43aa1e141e I was 1792d90984 expecting. Was it all my 6781440dcf delusion? Was his tenderness bfaa0503e3 really just learned c252e52006 behavior?

It had 5ecd783ef5 been nagging 0a5aa1290e at me.
