SANN | Chapter 5.2

Gureum’s bunny-like ears twitched at the touch of Sieon’s breath. His fine hairs stood on end and gradually turned pink, indicating his embarrassment. Exactly, you’re not the only one with a voice that’s a weapon. Sieon curled his lips into a smile, ready to kick his seduction into high gear.

“Now… since we’ve cried and lost some energy, should we try the desserts?”

“Ah… yes, sounds good…”

“Here, your fork, Gureum. I heard the strawberry cake here is delicious. Give it a try.”

Sieon pushed the strawberry cake toward Gureum. But Gureum only took a small bite and didn’t eat, merely glancing at Sieon for his reaction. Was he waiting for Sieon to take the first bite out of respect? Sieon barely held back a burst of laughter and urged Gureum with a smile.

“Go ahead, you first.”

“…Okay.”

The cake entered Gureum’s mouth neatly, leaving no cream on his lips. Well, there were plenty of creamy desserts to come. The chance would come later. Seeing Gureum nibble at the cake without chewing much, Sieon raised his brow but watched as Gureum slowed his eating pace. It felt like he was babysitting, but he couldn’t help feeling proud.

After finally swallowing a single bite, Gureum pushed the cake toward Sieon.

“This is delicious… Try it, Sieon.”

“Ah.”

Sieon opened his mouth shamelessly. Gureum tilted his head, not understanding his gesture. Sieon raised an eyebrow, switching his gaze from the cake to Gureum. Realizing what he meant, Gureum’s trembling hand brought the cake toward Sieon.

The cake shook as if the fork were suffering from an earthquake, but Sieon successfully accepted the bite without lifting a finger. He smiled deeply.

“Thank you. It tastes better because you gave it to me.”

“…Really?”

“Yes.”

Believing Sieon’s words, Gureum began alternating between eating one bite himself and feeding another to Sieon. His actions were utterly adorable.

Eventually, a dab of cream found its way onto Gureum’s lips. Seizing the opportunity, Sieon quickly reached out toward Gureum’s lips.

“You’ve got some—”

“Gasp…!”

Unfortunately, as Gureum moved to lick the cream off, his tongue accidentally brushed against Sieon’s finger. Even Sieon, experienced as he was, froze for a moment.

A soft, warm, moist sensation. Familiar, yet utterly tantalizing. That small, bright red tongue, its squishy texture…

Sieon awkwardly laughed and crossed his legs.

Damn… it’s fully up now.

“…Haha, sorry about that.”

“I-I’m sorry too…! What should I do…? Here, let me get you a wet wipe…”

Sieon took the wet wipe Gureum offered, though what he really wanted to do was lick his fingers clean. Instead, he pretended to clean his hands and quickly surveyed his surroundings. Spotting a couple of cushions on the opposite sofa, he grabbed them, pretending to hand one to Gureum while placing the other on his lap. Given its size, it would shield his situation from Gureum’s view.

Sieon forced a casual smile as he continued chatting with Gureum, though his mind was focused on one thing.

I’m going to devour you from head to toe, no matter what.

Unaware of Sieon’s dark intentions, Gureum sipped the remaining strawberry latte through a large straw, looking adorably diligent. Sieon licked his dry lips. If only you could suck me like that… His body began heating up, fueled by unspent arousal. His hand instinctively moved toward his shirt collar.

“It’s a bit warm.”

“Huh…? Are you hot?”

Gureum asked, puzzled. It made sense, considering it was late autumn. Sieon immediately unbuttoned three buttons on his shirt.

Of course, his actions were about 5% genuine discomfort from the heat and 95% calculated flirtation. And as soon as the buttons were undone, even that 5% vanished. Now it was 100% for seduction.

“That’s better.”

Cold air drifted through Sieon’s firm chest. Yet, despite his efforts, Gureum’s gaze flickered everywhere except at his exposed chest. Sieon leaned closer, trying to draw Gureum’s attention, but the result was the same. Gureum’s eyes barely glanced at his toned chest beneath the open shirt.

Oh, so you’re not going to look? Sieon’s eyebrow twitched in dissatisfaction.

Just then, Gureum’s gaze locked onto something in the room. Following his line of sight, Sieon saw it was a clock.

“Why? Do you have another appointment?”

“Ah… no…”

“Then why do you keep looking at the clock?”

Sieon’s mood darkened slightly.

“Well… I think it’s time for me to head home…”

“…Already?”

“Yes… My parents might get worried…”

“……”

“I’m really sorry, I just remembered…”

Sieon checked the clock again. Not even two hours had passed since their meeting. He let out a hollow laugh.

What is this? Does a twenty-year-old have a curfew at four or five in the afternoon? Or is this brat trying to hint that he’s uncomfortable with me? A vein throbbed on Sieon’s forehead.

“…Your curfew seems quite early.”

“Uh, not really… but I think I should head back today… I’m really sorry, I made a mistake…”

Still, Gureum didn’t seem to be lying. His nervous fidgeting and uneasy eyes suggested he truly was anxious.

Sieon let out a soft sigh, too quiet for Gureum to hear. There would be plenty of opportunities to meet again. From today on, Gureum would inevitably have to accept Sieon’s presence in his life. Or rather, Sieon would make it so he couldn’t avoid it.

“Well, if that’s the case, let’s go. I’ll take you home.”

Gureum hesitated but eventually took Sieon’s outstretched hand once more.

Gureum, who had insisted that Sieon didn’t need to see him off, ultimately found himself dragged all the way to the parking lot. It was because Sieon hadn’t let go of his hand since they left the café, holding it tightly the entire time. Only upon arriving at the car did Sieon finally release Gureum’s hand.

When Gureum saw Sieon’s car, his eyes widened. Even though he didn’t know much about cars, it was obvious this one was ridiculously expensive.

“Oh, it feels too flashy, doesn’t it? I’m sorry. I use stuff like this to compensate for my lack of self-esteem.”

“N-no! The car is… really cool…”

Without a change in his expression, Sieon shamelessly lied and opened the passenger door for Gureum.

“Th-thank you…”

Gureum carefully climbed into the seat. As Sieon shut the door and walked around to the driver’s side, he made a mental note about something for the future.

He probably needed to get an SUV. This car wasn’t ideal for car sex. As someone who had always been averse to such activities in a vehicle, he had stuck with this car, but this change of stance was drastic even for him.

Before starting the engine, Sieon glanced at Gureum. He noticed Gureum hadn’t fastened his seatbelt yet. Nice. Sieon seized the opportunity, leaning his body towards Gureum.

“You need to put your seatbelt on.”

“Ah! S-sorry!”

Sieon pressed his chest against Gureum’s shoulder as he deliberately fumbled with the seatbelt strap, dragging out the process. Gureum, meanwhile, kept his gaze fixed downward, trying not to look at him. Taking advantage of the moment, Sieon leaned in even closer, completely blocking Gureum’s view with his body. At this point, it was as if Gureum had front-row seats to an intimate show.

“Ah, this thing is just not cooperating today…”

“Oh, um…”

Finally, Sieon buckled the seatbelt. Returning to his seat, he glanced at Gureum’s face, now as red as a strawberry rice cake. Sieon smirked. There was no way he hadn’t noticed.

Looking at Gureum’s round cheeks, Sieon thought he’d love to give them just one quick peck. Smiling to himself, he started the engine and drove out of the parking lot.

“Where do you live?” he asked.

This had been his intention from the start, offering to take Gureum home. Gureum hesitated, his eyes darting around nervously before he finally spoke.

“Well, you have to go up a lot of steep roads… Maybe just drop me off near the station…”

“Is it too difficult to drive in?”

“Uh… cars can get to the main road, but not all the way to my house. My house is further inside the alley…”

“Ah, it’s fine. Just tell me where it is.”

In a city as developed as this one, there weren’t many places a car couldn’t go. Based on Gureum’s vague explanation, Sieon quickly guessed the general location and turned onto the bridge to head in that direction. Gureum seemed embarrassed, hesitating before finally providing the address when Sieon stopped at a light and pulled up the GPS.

Sieon entered the address into the navigation system, which, as Gureum had said, only guided him to the main road. Making a mental note of the address, Sieon continued driving.

Gureum was quiet for most of the ride. Sieon kept an eye on him, occasionally glancing over. Gureum was repeatedly clenching and unclenching his hands on his knees, seemingly uncomfortable with the sound of the car’s engine. Ah, he shouldn’t have brought this car today. He hadn’t expected to drive Gureum home, and now he regretted it a little.

To make up for it, he eased up on the gas pedal, keeping to the same speed as the other cars on the road. Once the engine noise softened, Gureum seemed less anxious and even started looking out the window. Sieon suppressed a laugh. He really was just like a kid.

Although their time together had been fleeting, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t a little disappointed. Still, there had been gains. Feeling satisfied with his decision to meet Gureum, Sieon pressed the accelerator gently, navigating the streets with ease.

The sight of a Ferrari parked in a hillside neighborhood drew curious gazes. Sieon, unconcerned, pulled over to a corner and casually spoke to Gureum.

“Gureum-ssi, I think we got a bit closer today, didn’t we?”

“Y-yeah…”

“I really enjoyed meeting you today. It was really comforting for me.”

“Me too, I really did…”

Gureum gave a shy, soft smile. He had looked beautiful even when he was crying, but smiling? That was on another level. His fair cheeks rose, radiating warmth and vitality like sunshine in spring. Sieon barely suppressed the urge to pinch them, then finally got to his main point.

“You don’t know my number, right?”

“Uh… no, I don’t.”

“Let me see your phone for a second?”

Since they’d only been communicating through an open chat app, they didn’t have each other’s numbers yet. Sieon entered his number into Gureum’s old smartphone and immediately called himself. Seeing his phone light up with the incoming call, he handed Gureum’s phone back to him.

“Save it—my number.”

“Oh, I’ll save it now…!”

“And call me if anything happens.”

“Huh? W-what?”

Gureum looked up at Sieon with wide eyes. Sieon grinned mischievously and lightly stroked Gureum’s cheek with his finger. It was a spontaneous reaction to how cute Gureum was. Gureum’s eyes grew even rounder in surprise, and his soft cheek felt exactly as Sieon had imagined—plush and smooth.

“If something happens and there’s no one else around, call me. I mean it.”

“…Ah, okay, I will…!”

Damn it, how could he let him go home like this? Sieon decided to throw out a more substantial hook. A phone number wasn’t enough; he needed something more solid.

“It feels too soon to part ways. How about we set our next meeting now?”

“Uh…”

“…What? Is that hard to do?”

“N-no…! I just don’t know when I’ll be able to go out again. It’s not impossible, though…”

What kind of household was this, keeping such a sweet kid tied down so much? There had to be limits to being overprotective. Sieon summoned all the patience he had.
