    Sihoo knew Jehyuk’s schedule better than he did, and it snapped Jehyuk back to reality. Right. Morning practice at 7 AM meant there wasn’t much time left to sleep. On top of that, there was tutoring later today. It was the last session before taking a break for the fall university soccer tournament, so missing it wasn’t an option.

    “Let’s go.”

    Jehyuk hurriedly stood up. Or at least, he tried to. He had every intention of getting up, but as soon as he rose, his vision spun. His body wavered, his balance faltered, and he ended up collapsing back into his seat, tilting slightly to the side.

    Huh?

    What’s going on?

    “Wait a second.”

    His voice came out fine, and his thoughts were clear, but his body wasn’t cooperating. It didn’t feel like he’d drunk enough to be this tipsy. He’d had less than the equivalent of two bottles of soju.

    “Maybe I got a cramp from sitting too long. Hold on.”

    Embarrassment washed over him, making his face feel hot. He could practically feel his cheeks burning as he awkwardly fumbled for the edge of the table, gripping it tightly. The veins on the back of his hand stood out, blue and strained.

    “Are you drunk?”

    “No, I’m not drunk.”

    “Sure looks like it.”

    Sihoo stood up from his seat, and Jehyuk quickly tried to follow suit. This time, he managed to stand, but as they made their way to the door, his steps were unsteady. It was bizarre. He thought he was walking straight, but his body kept tilting to the side.

    “Sihoo, hold on.”

    Jehyuk was genuinely flustered. It was ridiculous to think he’d gotten drunk off so little. Even on the rare occasion he was tipsy, he’d always been able to walk home just fine.

    “Guess I shouldn’t let you drink next time.”

    “No, really, I’m fine! It’s just… I got a cramp….”

    He started spouting nonsensical excuses that even he didn’t believe. Sihoo, amused, let out a low, satisfied chuckle. Then, without a word, he moved to Jehyuk’s side and supported him, wrapping an arm around Jehyuk’s waist.

    “Let’s go.”

    “Sihoo, I’m not drunk. Hey, seriously, I’m fine!”

    Despite Jehyuk’s protests, Sihoo didn’t let go, firmly keeping Jehyuk steady. He slung Jehyuk’s left arm over his shoulder, making sure he was securely supported.

    As the two bickered, they managed to leave the room. The manager came out to see them off, bowing politely as they exited the bar.

    Under the streetlights, which shone brighter than the stars, Jehyuk took one last look at the glittering night street. And then, his memory cut off entirely.

    ***

    The sunlight piercing through his eyelids made Ji Jehyuk open his eyes. Or maybe it was because his throat was so dry that it felt like it was on fire. The thirst clawed at him like crazy, making his throat, mouth, and even his entire body feel parched. Letting out a short groan from the sensation that was bordering on pain, Jehyuk flailed his arms around.

    Where’s the water? He usually kept it next to his bed since he drank so often. It must be on the floor, next to the mattress…

    But no matter how much he stretched his arm out of the bed and waved it around, he couldn’t feel the floor. That was when he began to notice that something was off. Come to think of it, the texture of the blanket was strange. It was excessively soft and cozy, almost like the hotel bedding you only see in movies.

    That wasn’t all. As his senses slowly returned, he realized that a fragrant scent lingered in the air. It smelled oddly like… Sihoo.

    “There’s water here, Hyuk-ah.”

    As if reading his mind, Yoon Sihoo’s voice rang out. That voice, which had no reason to be heard in Jehyuk’s house, snapped him back to reality. Jehyuk, who had kept his eyes shut tightly, suddenly opened them wide and sat up. The thirst was joined by a pounding headache. But even that couldn’t compare to the sheer shock he felt.

    Why was Yoon Sihoo here?

    “Did you sleep well?”

    Before Jehyuk could even process that question, he froze. Right in front of him was Sihoo—half-naked. Forgetting to avert his eyes, Jehyuk stared dumbfoundedly at Sihoo’s bare torso. His white, smooth skin captured his gaze, refusing to let it go. It was the kind of body that made it hard to look away. Every muscle was perfectly toned, firm but not overly bulky, making it incredibly pleasing to the eyes.

    He had always thought that Sihoo, with his naturally broad shoulders and solid frame, probably had a good body. But seeing it in person was on another level. For someone who didn’t even exercise, how could he have a better body than Jehyuk? Staring at the unexpected sight in a daze, Jehyuk quickly came to his senses.

    “Sihoo?”

    When he called out the name as if he were out of his mind, Sihoo smiled brightly and sat beside him. Twisting off the cap of a water bottle with a blue lid, he handed it to Jehyuk.

    “Yeah, good morning.”

    The sight of the water made Jehyuk’s thirst unbearable. Though he was still dazed, he accepted the bottle Sihoo handed him. The cool touch of the bottle in his palm felt as refreshing and welcoming as Sihoo himself. He brought it to his lips and drank deeply. His Adam’s apple bobbed several times as he downed the 500mL of water in no time. He drank so fast that some water dribbled down his chin, pooling at his collarbone.

    “You spilled some water.”

    Sihoo reached out and wiped the droplets away. The sensation of fingers brushing against his firm clavicle made Jehyuk flinch and pull back, coughing. An odd feeling surged through him, and at the same time, he realized that his lower half, hidden beneath the blanket, was starting to react.

    “I-I’ll do it myself!”

    In a panic, Jehyuk yanked the blanket over himself and quickly pulled his legs together. It was morning, so it was natural for his body to react like this, but somehow it felt… off. Especially with Sihoo, half-naked and right in front of him. If someone saw this, wouldn’t they think—think he reacted because of Sihoo? Jehyuk’s eyes darted around the room before finally settling on the window.

    “…But why are you here?”

    “Me?”

    He nodded. Sihoo leaned closer to match Jehyuk’s gaze, even though Jehyuk was deliberately avoiding looking at him. With their eyes now meeting, Sihoo grinned and said, “This is my house.”

    “Your house?”

    “You don’t remember?”

    “Remember what?”

    Jehyuk asked blankly, still unable to move his gaze from the window. Sihoo’s eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. It was strange. When good-looking people smiled, it usually made them look cool, but in Sihoo’s case, it made him look… pretty.

    “We slept together.”

    While Jehyuk was still spellbound by Sihoo’s smile, his words sunk in. Sihoo’s gaze shifted toward Jehyuk’s legs under the blanket, a knowing look spreading across his face. The way his eyes curved as if he understood everything made Jehyuk’s nape flush bright red. Sihoo’s leisurely words and gaze scrambled Jehyuk’s brain.

    …Slept together?

    Jehyuk might’ve been clueless about a lot of things, but as an adult, his mind immediately jumped to that. Even though he had no experience himself, the thought mortified him. There were no signs or memories to support it, but the embarrassment surged like a tidal wave. He hadn’t felt this flustered since the first time someone confessed to him. No, this was worse.

    “W-We did?”

    Sihoo had been silently watching Jehyuk with amusement, but at his question, Sihoo nodded with a smile. The guy who usually seemed so mature suddenly looked like a mischievous boy in this moment.

    “Yeah.”

    “We… s-slept together?”

    “Yeah, we did.”

    Why did the word slept sound so damn suggestive?

    Jehyuk clutched the blanket tightly and scooted all the way up to the headboard. Sihoo, watching him with an amused expression, waited for a moment before leaning forward, as if to close the distance again.

    “H-How? Why? I mean, is that even… possible…?”

    Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

    Well, of course, it was possible. He had no idea how, but considering that dating between guys wasn’t exactly rare, it wouldn’t be out of the question. As Sihoo placed his hand right next to Jehyuk’s thigh and leaned in, their gazes aligned at an angle.

    “It’s obviously possible.”

    Jehyuk, his lips slightly parted in shock, stiffened as Sihoo moved in closer. The situation felt eerily similar to last night, yet the atmosphere was completely different. Yesterday, he hadn’t thought much of it. But now, with Sihoo saying things that were impossible to believe, he found it difficult to look him straight in the eye. And Sihoo’s lips—so close—looked unnervingly red.

    No way… Did we actually… kiss?

    Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

    A flicker of a thought crossed his mind—something he had never even done with his exes, something that had caused issues in past relationships. A kiss. Could he really have done that with Sihoo while drunk? His head felt like it was about to explode.

    Whether Sihoo knew how badly Jehyuk was spiraling or not, he simply leaned in even more, hovering over him completely.

    Then, through the thin blanket, Sihoo’s hand brushed against Jehyuk’s thigh.

    It was barely a touch, just through the fabric, but Jehyuk flinched so violently that he sucked in a sharp breath. His lower half, which had momentarily quieted, reacted instantly. In pure panic, he tried to push Sihoo away, but before he could, Sihoo spoke.

    “Of course, that doesn’t mean we actually did anything.”

    Jehyuk’s heart, which had been pounding erratically, finally started to slow down. He had never realized until now that sheer tension alone could make it hard to breathe. His muscles, which had been tensed to their limit, suddenly lost all their strength. Sihoo chuckled lowly.

    “You passed out on the way here, so I brought you home. There wasn’t anywhere else for you to sleep, so we shared the bed. That’s all it meant.”

    Sihoo’s lips curled into a teasing smile.

    “Did you take it to mean something else, Hyuk-ah?”

    “No.”

    Jehyuk denied it before the question was even fully out. His reaction was instinctive, automatic.

    “I didn’t touch you, so stop acting like you’re trying to run away.”

    “Run away? What are you even—!”

    His heart, which had just calmed down, started racing again. But this time, it wasn’t embarrassment—it was outright humiliation. What kind of ridiculous misunderstanding had he come up with all on his own? He felt so absurdly ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.

    “I wasn’t thinking anything weird, okay? I just felt bad for being a burden.”

    “Oh yeah?”

    Sihoo’s fingers, still lingering against Jehyuk’s thigh, tugged lightly at the blanket.

    “Then why are you so desperate to cover yourself?”

    At that, Jehyuk freaked out.

    “W-Wait—!”

    Without thinking, he practically launched himself out of the bed, scrambling to grab the blanket and wrap it around himself. Only after fully covering his body did he finally realize how absurdly over-the-top his reaction had been. He knew he was overreacting. But even knowing that, he couldn’t pull himself together. His brain was fried.

    “Ji Jehyuk is pretty cute today.”
