SMS | Chapter 5.4

While Dohoon was lost in a multitude of thoughts looking at Mino, Mino was internally screaming. It hadn’t possibly been 10 minutes yet. Right after sending Seongjun out and finishing brushing his teeth, he was greeted by the chaotic sight of his apartment as if a bomb had gone off. He suspected Dohoon must have either OCD or mysophobia, or both. What would happen if he saw such a mess?

‘I’ll get dumped.’

He didn’t want to be dumped like this. Especially since he hadn’t stopped his daily habit of masturbation, he was terrified about the hygiene of his blankets. Thus, he grabbed his clothes and bedding and bolted out the door, only to trip over something he couldn’t see and hear a dog barking. When he regained his senses, he was in Dohoon’s arms.

“Did you hurt yourself like this last time too? You’re just full of injuries, aren’t you?”

Hearing this, Mino thought two things:

First, that Dohoon was about to ask him to undress right here and inspect his injuries stark naked outdoors in broad daylight. The mere thought was enough to excite him.

Second, even though this villa was situated on the highest terrain around, someone might be gazing out from a high-rise apartment and see him naked with an erection, which would be social suicide.

But imagining such a thrilling scenario wasn’t so bad, since it wasn’t real. No harm, no foul.

He felt a rush of heat from his naughty imaginations, grateful for the pile of blankets covering him, until Dohoon pulled them away, revealing his flushed face. Even today, he looked exceptionally handsome. Although the kiss wasn’t great, his face alone was enough to satisfy any standard of attractiveness.

“You look just like a baby now.”

“I’m almost thirty…”

Feeling shy, Mino looked down, and Dohoon moved the pile of blankets to the floor. Mino, now free, wrapped his arms around himself due to the biting cold of midwinter.

“Ah, it’s cold, isn’t it? Shall we go inside?”

“Yeah. Um, it’s just, my room’s a total mess.”

I haven’t cleaned it up yet. Despite the cold, he felt like he was sweating. He had managed to pick up only the blankets and clothes, but the mess was still there. Dohoon said he’d be here in 10 minutes, but had it already been that long, or had he arrived early? Either way, it wasn’t a good situation for Mino.

“Should we wait then? It’s cold.”

He tilted his head to ask, and beneath him, Sowol the Jindo dog also tilted his head as if they were synchronized. The harmony between the handsome man and the handsome dog looked like a scene from a movie. Mino bit his lip, looking like he might cry.

“That’s true, but you hate messiness, don’t you?”

“Because of your mysophobia?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“Uh, yeah, that’s it.”

Was he trying to hide that fact? Mino blinked, and Dohoon chuckled.

“That’s okay. I need to see how you live to know if you can keep a cat.”

Dohoon’s smile looked almost devilish. Suddenly feeling like a germ factory on trial, Mino had no choice but to accept the situation. He prayed that he hadn’t been that careless in the past.

As soon as he opened the door, Mino moved as fast as he could. The brief moment Dohoon entered was his only chance. He kicked off his shoes and swept everything on the floor under the bed.

It was a skill he usually only used when his parents made a surprise visit. He hadn’t expected to use it in this context. Was romance similar to filial piety? With a sense of satisfaction, he turned around to see Dohoon helping Sowol off with his shoes. He wouldn’t have seen that. Emboldened, Mino stood obediently in front of Dohoon to take his coat.

Dohoon naturally took off his coat and was about to hand it to Mino when he slightly furrowed his brow.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh? Ah, since you’re a guest, I was going to hang it for you.”

“I can hang it myself if you show me where.”

“Oh, right. Just over here is fine.”

His displeased expression made Mino awkward. Mino shyly diverted his gaze to Sowol, quietly welcoming the dog as he entered his home. But it seemed Dohoon wasn’t going to let it go.

“Do you do this for all your guests?”

“Ah, I don’t really have guests…”

“I didn’t come here to be waited on by you.”

Why was he upset? Even the gesture of handing over the coat had seemed natural earlier. Either way, it seemed to have disturbed Dohoon, so both Sowol and Mino watched him cautiously, lips sealed. Seeing the two cute beings before him, Dohoon changed his expression and smiled.

“You must be good at soccer.”

“A little. But why do you ask?”

Relieved to see his familiar smile, Mino reflexively smiled back. He wasn’t bad at soccer. He had been selected as a player for sports festivals up until middle school, so he could say he was quite good. But like always, he quickly lost interest and pretended not to play well thereafter. But why was he asking about it all of a sudden?

“No, just because you kicked everything into the goal as soon as you came in.”

He had seen it. Mino thought he had done it perfectly, but Dohoon’s dynamic vision must have been better.

“I’m embarrassed by the mess. Your place is so clean…”

“‘Your place’?”

“Ah, yes, that.”

“Using honorifics like that between lovers is a bit much.”

Hearing ‘lovers’ from his mouth felt so sweet that it was like his ears were melting. He laughed awkwardly, unaccustomed to the sensation, as Dohoon smiled again.

“Ah, would you like some coffee? You must be cold after the walk.”

“What kind of coffee do you have?”

“Just black and instant…?”

“If it’s not expired, sure.”

He seemed to have assessed the hygiene of the house just by looking. Mino wanted to deny it, but he too was doubtful, so he agreed without a fuss. If only he had known, he might have kept at least the coffee machine even if he had given up his hobby.

Mino pulled out a desk chair for Dohoon to sit on and headed to the cupboard. The desk was barely used, so it was relatively clean, but he caught Dohoon running his finger over it, probably dust. From the cupboard, he first pulled out a wet wipe, then rummaged around and stumbled upon some drip coffee. The expiration date was still far off, and the beans were quite expensive.

“Would drip coffee be okay?”

“Yes. Can I use your bathroom?”

“Yes, sure. Uh, the floor might be a bit wet, but anyway, it’s the room with a door. That’s the bathroom. There’s hand wash! I got it as a gift before.”

“I’ll use it well.”

The wipes wouldn’t do. Mino blurted out awkwardly. He was confident about the state of the bathroom since he had just washed his face and brushed his teeth roughly, though he was worried about the water on the floor.

Mino filled the kettle and put it on the gas stove. As he fiddled around in the kitchen, Sowol padded over and sat next to him.

“Ah, I don’t have anything to give you. What should I do?”

“Woof!”

Sowol barked softly and rubbed his handsome face against Mino’s thigh. It was adorable.

“You really are handsome. Did you take after your owner?”

Mino remembered a cartoon from his childhood featuring a Jindo dog that wasn’t nearly as cool as Sowol. The dog’s sleek, brave-looking snout was particularly impressive. He reached out, and Sowol sniffed his hand before rubbing his fluffy face against it. It was Mino’s first time petting a dog, and although he was clumsy, it felt nice.

“Ah, stop it. Hahaha.”

He squatted down to pet him more comfortably when the large tongue licked his face, tickling him terribly. It was good he hadn’t applied any lotion.

“Eek! Eugh!”

Sowol suddenly jumped up, knocking Mino over and licking his face thoroughly. Quite a sizeable dog. Caught off guard and being face-washed by the dog, Mino burst into laughter.

“Eugh! Oof.”

He was laughing when the dog’s tongue slipped into his mouth, so he puckered up and tightly shut his eyes. Just then, he heard the door open from afar.

“Sowol, stop. Come here.”

At the firm command, the tongue licking his face stopped. Dohoon, who had just washed his hands, appeared with Sowol wagging his tail quickly and moving toward him. Mino still lay awkwardly sprawled on the floor.

“You shouldn’t bother people. What kind of behavior is that?”

Even his scolding voice sounded sexy. I want to be scolded too…. The blessing of side dishes never ends. Mino bit his trembling lips hard and struggled to get up.

“I should wash my face. What can I do, I’m sorry. Sowol isn’t usually like this.”

“Ah, no. Maybe I’m just easy to approach.”

“I’ll make the coffee. Go wash up.”

“Okay….”

Mino entered the bathroom and splashed cold water on his hot cheeks. How could it be so hot in the middle of winter? He was burning up. Am I going to smell like sweat? Suddenly, he was scared.

Rummaging through the bathroom cabinet, he found a perfume bottle. Seongjun had given it to him as a gift once, and he had shoved it away and forgotten about it because he never had an occasion to use it. He sprayed it on liberally and rushed out to see Dohoon opening the cupboard.

“Oh, no! I’ll do it!”

He dashed over and blocked Dohoon’s path. Squeezing into the narrow space between the kitchen cabinet and Dohoon, he nearly hit his head on an upper cabinet.

“Is getting hurt a hobby of yours?”

Luckily, Dohoon quickly reached out to support him, preventing a concussion. Since getting hurt and making a mess was his only hobby, he couldn’t refute it.

“I’ll, I’ll find it.”

Mino panted and shook his head. The reason for his urgency was simple. This rooftop room was a studio, so storage space was miserable. Therefore, he couldn’t be sure what he had stuffed into that upper cabinet. This was all because he had spent all his hobby money on adult toys since the beginning of the year. There were too many traps he didn’t know about here.

“…Where are the cups? I only see toothbrush cups here. Is that what you use to drink?”

Dohoon was pointing at some cheap plastic cups he had picked up from a dollar store. Mino let out an awkward laugh.

“Oh, I, I tend to break glass….”

He was weak when it came to glass. He had even broken the one glass dildo he had. After shattering every glass cup he received as a housewarming gift, he had long since replaced them with plastic cups from a dollar store.

“It’s probably better to keep things tidy. We have to keep a cat now. Animals usually take after their owners, and Chaesu… if he takes after you, he probably won’t be very careful.”

Only then did Mino realize they were too close. Exposed to his violent beauty, Mino bit his lip. Just being in the house together—although a large Jindo dog was there too—was provocative enough, but their lips were less than 20cm apart.

“This is a good position.”

“Ah, that’s not what I meant….”

“Or do you not want to kiss?”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but it wasn’t particularly appealing either. Unless he was roughly grabbed by the hair, Mino thought. He shut his eyes, imagining absurd things. It was a silent permission, but despite the long wait with his eyes closed, the expected contact never came.

“Are you usually a bit passive?”

At the sudden question, Mino slowly opened his eyes to find Dohoon’s face right in front of his. The looking-down gaze was thrilling.

“Well, usually the one who wants to go first does. Let’s go with what I want to do today.”

Dohoon murmured with a twisted expression, grabbing Mino’s hair a bit harshly. The pull on his scalp made his lips part naturally. The temperature of the first kiss they had shared was subtly different.

“Ah….”

The look he gave made Mino’s lower half tingle. As Mino looked up at him with parted lips, drawn by some instinct, he lowered his eyes. Dohoon’s tongue lightly traced the inside of his lips. The contact was so detailed it felt almost meticulous, prompting Mino to tilt his chin up slightly, and Dohoon’s mouth curled into a slanted smile. The slightly withdrawn tongue made Mino long for more, and as he moved closer, the hand gripping his hair tightened.

‘Wait.’

In his head, Dohoon’s voice solidified like an auditory hallucination. Mino obediently closed his eyes and parted his lips, waiting for Dohoon’s invasion. The tip of his tongue that delved in like a compliment swirled inside his mouth as their lips met.

“Mm, mmh….”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Mino’s eyelids fluttered visibly, a sight Dohoon overtly savored. As he scraped the roof of the mouth more roughly, the moans deepened, and as saliva flowed, he eagerly lapped it up. Clearly, he was sensitive to pleasure. The red-hot cheeks were turned so his nose could burrow and probe the mouth more thoroughly, prompting Mino to desperately grab his own clothing.

“Mm, mmh….”

Just the tongue filled the small mouth so completely that he wanted to thrust his dick down to the throat. Dohoon’s resting right hand caressed Mino’s nape. That minor touch made the body stiffen, stimulating a sadistic pleasure.

If he pushed his dick in all the way, it would bulge out here. Imagining the tender flesh bulging and retracting with each thrust made him want to lay him down on the bed and use him like a device. As they deeply entangled, the kiss grew more persistent, and he lost control of his strength, causing Dohoon’s canine to dig into Mino’s lip.

“Ah!”

The pained moan was a great stimulant for Dohoon, but not for the dog watching them. Pattering around, Sowol pushed Dohoon’s thigh with his nose. Dohoon stroked his face with his palm, suppressing his boiling desires, and then saw Mino, his lips stained with blood droplets, looking dazed and feeling the aftereffects.

“No, there isn’t.”

“Let me see. Open up.”

Dohoon felt half-joking as he gripped Mino’s chin a bit harshly, pressed his pale cheek to force his mouth open, and inserted his finger to probe around like he was feeling the inside. Mino’s eyes widened in shock. That figures. He quickly withdrew his finger and embraced him.

“It seems you were quite startled. I’m sorry.”

“I’m… not feeling well. I’m sorry.”

As he patted his back, the shaking soon stopped. Mino clearly lacked sexual experience. It must have been his appearance that frightened him.

“I don’t have anything to send you off with. And keep that prize we got when we rode together as a memento.”

As usual, the kind veterinarian smiled and spoke, and Mino nodded with his usual face. If he had been his sub, he would have snatched every nod to feed him pretty beads from behind. It’s a shame that he was vanilla. There’s no putting a normal person into a pit. Maybe it was his karma to impulsively decide to date him.

“…What prize?”

With his lips slightly swollen, he asked curiously. He wiped a tear that was forming in the corner of his eye with his thumb. If he knew what he had been imagining, he might have fainted and decided to move.

“Well, I haven’t opened it so I don’t know what it is, but since it was given at a place for lovers, it must be some kind of memento. Let’s say it’s to commemorate the start of our relationship.”

At this point, it was probably better for him to go home. The state of the rooftop room was problematic, but if he stayed, he felt he might do something he shouldn’t to such a young man.

A single kiss had him crumbling. He was sure to let slip something dangerous about trying something different. Romance is romance, play is play. Dohoon reminded himself of his own creed and said goodbye to Mino with a clean face.

“You should take care a bit more with the cleaning. And do you have any plans to move? It seems a bit cramped for keeping a cat.”

Leaving those words, Dohoon took Sowol, who had been glancing back, and stepped out the door. Normally, he would use a hotel or his own basement for play, so he hadn’t shown such things to animals and felt somewhat embarrassed. Sowol probably thought he had tormented Mino today.

“Well. That’s not entirely wrong.”

With the constraints of an age where one should consider marriage if involved in heterosexual relationships, and unable to not date at all, a new partner with a decent appearance had appeared. For various reasons, he had decided to date Mino, but dating a vanilla man had its difficulties.
