SMS | Chapter 3.1

Spending the weekend watching a movie with a totally gorgeous guy, even under the pretense of a ‘date,’ would seem like the perfect scenario for a typical 28-year-old.

However, the complication here is that the person in question is an older man of the same gender. If it were between a man and a woman, they might be in a tug-of-war with mutual attraction, on the brink of romance.

But as things stand, it’s unclear whether he views men as potential romantic partners at all.

Moreover, I’m hopelessly perverted, and he’s unusually virtuous, especially these days. Even if he were open to dating men, the chances of him understanding my sexual quirks are virtually nil.

“A date?”

I had to make sure. Doubting the message was meant for me, I called him, and he casually replied as if it was the most normal thing.

[Men don’t date each other, do they?]

“Well, it’s not that…”

Is this a normal thing to say, or could it be that he also considers men as potential romantic partners? Caught between hope and hesitation, Mino couldn’t continue, but Lee Dohoon managed to secure the plan with a cool tone.

[Then let’s watch a movie. We can eat before the movie, and have drinks afterward.]

Isn’t that the textbook definition of a date?

[Meet me at 5 PM tomorrow in front of the hospital.]

And so, the weekend plans were set to meet Dohoon. Mino couldn’t help pinching his cheeks repeatedly.

“I must be crazy.”

It was hard to tell who he was referring to with that exclamation.

“Doesn’t it make you laugh? I’m really insane.”

No, if he actually showed that kind of affection towards me, it’d be uncertain whether I, a pervert, could ever reciprocate those feelings. I knew that many among the BDSM community did engage in relationships. But Mino was not one of those people.

A relationship with someone else while playing with different people wasn’t his style. Mino wanted sexually charged play, so having a vanilla partner while engaging in a play or DS relationship was out of the question for him.

“What should I wear?”

It took him a whopping two hours to pick out his outfit, finding nothing suitable to wear. He hadn’t bought any clothes either. What was he doing? I want to die.

Suddenly he remembered Sungjoon’s words urging him to try dating.

No, that’s too hasty of a thought. What’s so big about a date?

He wasn’t sure, having no experience, but maybe ordinary people might call it that when two people meet up alone for friendly socializing. Men could also just want to become closer as human beings.

Maybe it was a meeting to test his character before handing over a cat.

“There’s a chance…”

He seemed like someone who loved animals a lot. He thought that he had to show no lack anywhere, even for the cat’s sake.

Mino tried his best to calm his excited feelings, picking out the most decent casual outfit as the time neared. Luckily, his home was close; otherwise, he would have been late for their meeting.

Having bought clothes so long ago, he worried his outfit looked too collegiate, but he didn’t have time to buy new ones, and wearing a suit was out of the question. Since the animal hospital wasn’t far from his home, he arrived quickly.

Checking his reflection in a window 20 minutes before the scheduled time, Mino adjusted his black-base white-sleeve baseball jacket, plain white sweatshirt, light blue jeans, white socks, and black Converse sneakers.

He hadn’t managed his hair, which bothered him, but there was nothing he could do.

“I really look like a kid…”

Should I buy some clothes? But I was planning to spend my spare money on a dildo machine…

While he was contemplating this, a car horn briefly sounded. Reflexively looking towards the road, he saw the window of a black sedan roll down, revealing Dohoon sitting in the driver’s seat. Mino rushed towards the car.

“Doctor!”

“You came quite early. It’s a bit chilly today, your neck is all exposed.”

“I don’t really feel the cold.”

“Get in.”

Realizing they’d just been standing there exchanging pleasantries, Mino climbed into the passenger seat. The backrest and seat were warm; it seemed he had turned on the heating.

“Seatbelt.”

“Oh, yes!”

Overwhelmed by Dohoon’s thoughtful gesture, he hurriedly buckled up. As the car smoothly started, Mino glanced at Dohoon, now sitting in the driver’s seat dressed in a semi-formal outfit, and his heart skipped a beat. Maybe I should buy something like that.

“What do you like to eat? I picked a restaurant already, is that okay?”

“Oh, yes. I eat pretty much anything.”

“You don’t have any particular dislikes?”

“No, nothing.”

Mino responded smoothly, and Dohoon watched the road while smiling faintly. Seeing that smile, Mino tried to guess its meaning but couldn’t decipher it. The navigation showed that the restaurant Dohoon had chosen wasn’t far.

“We also picked the movie freely.”

“What kind is it?”

“We chose the least popular one at the theater.”

“Okay. But why?”

Mino initially agreed and then asked why. He himself had spent days in theaters trying to find a hobby, watching movies back-to-back. He knew that a movie being unpopular didn’t necessarily mean it was uninteresting, and being popular didn’t guarantee it was enjoyable.

Because of that, he didn’t particularly dislike unpopular movies, but most people seemed to prefer popular ones. He was curious about Dohoon’s reasoning.

“Out of pity for the director?”

The unexpected response threw Mino off.

Pity for the director? It seemed Dohoon had a strong sense of compassion for humans. That must be why he was so anxious to heal his injuries.

Recalling a knee wound made his lips feel dry.

“…You really seem like a nice person.”

Good person.

Dohoon repeated those words several times.
