SMS | Chapter 2.1

The weekend flew by in a flash. During that time, Mino had exchanged a few more messages with Dohoon. Following Sungjoon’s advice, he sent a message saying how cute cats are, which prompted a few more cat pictures to arrive.

He didn’t forget to pass them all to Sungjoon, who was absolutely thrilled each time, to the point where you’d think he should be the one owning a cat.

Thus, the previous conversation had been all about cats. Mino had a particular reason for feeling awkward: more than the pictures of the cats, his attention was drawn to Dohoon’s inadvertently captured hands or feet in those photos.

“Damn sexy.”

By day, he researched how to care for cats, and by night, he masturbated to those images of hands and feet. How wonderful it would be if those hands grabbed his hair. A slap on the cheek might even make him come instantly. How could someone’s feet be so attractive? If he were to step on his crotch and press down…

Even amidst his dazed state, he fantasized about licking those semen-covered feet. He was definitely losing it from too much masturbation, even thinking such thoughts at work.

“Sunbae, let’s go have lunch.”

Mino, snapped back to reality by his junior Junhyuk peeking over his partition, nodded belatedly.

“What were you thinking about so hard?”

“Nothing much.”

He had been thinking, but certainly couldn’t share that. He wasn’t crazy enough to admit to masturbating excessively.

“You seem more out of it today.”

Junhyuk poked Mino’s cheek suddenly.

“Squishy.”

“Stop it.”

He listlessly swatted the hand away, lost in thought. That kid’s hands are pretty big too… But having seen the ultimate hands, nothing else could satisfy him anymore. Pulled from his reverie, Mino’s expression grew solemn. At the office, he was even more dull than usual. As a second-year employee burdened with the unexpected role of team leader, work was overwhelming.

Lunchtime was the only breather, but for Mino, it was just another task. Why was nothing easy?

“…Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

They headed to lunch as if going back to work. As Junhyuk had pointed out, Mino wasn’t in great shape. His body felt heavy, and his eyes were dry. Last night, he had shamelessly indulged in fantasies of being violated by him until sunrise, resulting in oversleeping. Could he confidently say he wouldn’t do it again? Probably not.

“Sunbae?”

Lost in thought, Mino was shaken by Junhyuk upon arriving at the restaurant. It was slightly rude for a subordinate, but he didn’t mind too much.

“Huh?”

“I asked what you wanted to eat, but you didn’t answer. Kimchi fried rice, maybe?”

He must have spaced out again. Embarrassing himself, he hadn’t realized they were heading to a diner outside, not the company cafeteria. Junhyuk must have led them here, knowing how much he liked kimbap.

“Sure.”

Kimchi fried rice. Good, because it’s a hearty portion. As Mino nodded, Junhyuk added with an amused look.

“Are you not having pork cutlet?”

“Order that too. Here, take my card.”

He extended his card, but Junhyuk didn’t take it and paid with his own. Despite not having received his salary yet, Junhyuk was careless with money. Mino clicked his tongue at the young employee’s spendthrift habits.

“You seem to have no appetite, yet you’re a big eater. It’s kind of funny to watch.”

“I’m not particularly hungry. My stomach empties too quickly.”

His appetite for flavor was absent, but he was hungry—a different kind of emptiness, perhaps due to unfulfilled desires. The food arrived quickly, thanks to Junhyuk’s efficient movements. Mino started shoveling the food into his mouth with an expressionless face.

“What did you do over the weekend?”

Masturbated, but he couldn’t possibly answer that. Mulling over an unanswerable question, Mino responded slowly.

“Meet with Sungjoon.”

“Is Sungjoon sunbae doing well?”

“Yeah, he was excited, going on about proposing soon.”

“They’re getting married there, huh. By the way, Minjun sunbae is getting married soon too. Are you going?”

Junhyuk, not even eating, just stared at him. Minjun was his colleague. Junhyuk was a junior from the same department. Mino made a strange face as Junhyuk relayed the news.

“Did you also get an invitation?”

“Yeah, it came on mobile.”

“He sent me one too. Lives his life in fits and starts, that guy.”

“Better that he doesn’t take up our time, right?”

That made Mino think: he had never really been close with Junhyuk. It seemed like Junhyuk had grown more dependent after joining the company where he worked, though they had been in the same club with Sungjoon.

“Will you go?”

“I have to.”

Minjun had been dating his department-mate Yeonwoo for eight years—a couple within the department. It was a place he had to show his face.

Sungjoon and Minjun, everyone was getting married. Was it really time to start thinking about marriage? He felt young, but Minjun had started the trend. Apparently, one of Yeonwoo’s close female friends would catch the bouquet. One by one, everyone was stepping into the world of marriage—a realm he felt he might never enter. Was he envious? He wasn’t sure. Would marriage make life more interesting? But he couldn’t sacrifice someone just to spice up his own life.

“Shall we go together? In my car.”

Mino stared blankly at Junhyuk, who had just started working and yet had a car and was always ready to buy meals. Dohoon, who had once told him to save money thinking he was about twenty, came to mind again.

“Sure.”

It was still more than a month until the wedding, too early to ask, he thought. Junhyuk smiled broadly, pleased.

“Did you already finish eating?”

“Must have been hungry.”

Mino had devoured his food while Junhyuk had barely eaten half.

“Sunbae,”

“Hold on.”

Just as Junhyuk began to speak, a message notification sounded from Mino’s phone. He raised his palm to stop Junhyuk mid-sentence and checked the message. His eyebrows furrowed fiercely, and his lips twitched under his palm, but that wasn’t what mattered.

[Lee Dohoon]: Brought the cat to work today. If you’re free after work, come by the hospital.

The message was brief, but Mino read it several times. There was no picture today, which was disappointing. He had already planned to head straight to the hospital after work. By the time he got off, Dohwa Animal Hospital would be closed. Mino was momentarily lost in thought.

Junhyuk, having his words cut off and watching Mino stare at his phone, wore a slightly uncomfortable expression.

“Who’s contacting you like that?”

“Uh, nobody special.”

“Sunbae, do you have a girlfriend now?”

Completely out of the blue. Mino glared at Junhyuk silently as a response. The conversation dropped there, but Mino was left pondering his reply, unconcerned by Junhyuk’s visibly hardened expression.
