You eat more than 3d59c8c881 you look.”eee346719a27e88b

As Dohoon loaded up 09ff198248 Mino’s plate with salad, b74ae5e1ff steak, and pasta from 1c602d2655 the dishes spread across a3a839d7a7 the table, Mino kept 5edffe2552 digging in, yet his 9d1361bc3c furrowed brow didn’t ease.0529f195f8cd1da2

Having a big appetite 204fdf28d4 was one of the c247b97694 few topics that even 8ce10c5004 Mino’s acquaintances often discussed. He reluctantly 6a68c08668 shared his 649614894e complex about 39d7a01770 it, but c4c12ce867 Dohoon merely 983dcef21f shrugged. Somewhere along the 54f36af31a line, he had d9d98a25f7 ordered wine, which d65628e1ac he now poured 92dd4a9181 in front of 320916688d Mino.c9bda5331bb1c4e6

Polite, Mino gripped the 8e4dc99259 glass and tilted his c154110420 head back to drink. Whether this a92a341fb2 approach was 690de231fa appropriate for db69411f4f wine, he 0c9a9ccdfb wasn’t sure, 54ec07780a but Dohoon ba37d6bd31 was older, e469407ebe so he 950bccdd3e followed suit. Despite its sweet 9febeac188 aroma, the wine 16bbf7d529 filled his mouth 45e9ed0cab with a bitter 0ff391a860 taste. Dohoon chuckled quietly, watching fa93f43099 Mino drink.6e6234d092404b7d

There was one peculiar d4bb11b919 taste he harbored, but 30fbf9e0c9 it was certainly not f7aa99d84a something he could reveal. Though it 8fbb40bb21 was only f89e22dbcb two sips 4dac4ba778 of wine, afeea25246 Mino felt a6fe9d1447 his face a59fcb5a12 heat up.92dcd0bd7f60cf29

Watching fish was soothing, 6e816351c2 and feeding and cleaning 2b9a2f0240 their tank felt rewarding, 719457ccd2 but the kind of 8fd710ac81 ‘liking’ Mino wanted to 5d0e736139 talk about wasn’t that.aae54ea16956cf91

“Go on. I’m listening.”8e6e688f2c179aac

Dohoon didn’t rush 53e3e7c506 or criticize him; 4c84933be6 he just leaned a8cf6fc34b his chin on 36db329a67 his hand and 347a65a0ba listened. Somehow, Mino 17d98ca6bb felt he c58f01f324 could share ddee15101b a bit c86d56e884 more about 12214f677f himself.

You know how 4699993ec0 kids usually go 8196a09a4a through a phase b1e114dc86 where they’re very db86b8a3e2 assertive? I never had 6185f08d06 that.

Realizing his mistake 807d5865b1 too late, Mino fcc5c4aaf0 grimaced, then sighed. Maybe it was 1dcbcfeb7f better if Dohoon c2e09abb57 lost interest in ccbedb2d80 him.

Mino was jolted back 4097f0f7de to reality by Dohoon’s 3c58f136cf large hand covering his e35db75e3d own.

It wasn’t really eefeb4a1bb like that. He just a7a402ee6c wanted to e1e7b42ae3 be pounded 60ec0eb68a by a ba583c6a1c man… liked d9f8ba1541 men’s bodies, 0fc35fe657 wanted a 5f0894463b male master.

The voice that a11bb4983c Mino found so fd0047b3c3 pleasant resonated with 1ac3782a88 a firm timbre 35564f6139 in his ear. Maybe it 5ef815b98b was because 5291638056 Dohoon was 07f11d62f7 older, or 90b83d289d just a e1f3a7f2a4 genuinely nice e19a80dd04 person, but 087276273b it felt 97f00178d4 hugely comforting.3943439354f05edf
