SMS | Chapter 7.4

Junhyuk held the cigarette directly to his lips, the warmth of the filter touching the edge of Mino’s mouth. He could smoke right away if he just parted his lips slightly. However, the cigarette now offered was not just an invitation to smoke. Even if he was somewhat indifferent to such things, he wasn’t foolish enough to misunderstand the implication here.

If he opened his mouth to respond, the cigarette would enter, and Junhyuk would take it as his tacit consent. Junhyuk, lips firmly pressed, urged Mino, who only stared back in silence.

“I’ll give you what you want, senior.”

If this had been before he met Dohoon, he might have accepted Junhyuk’s proposition right away, especially with the words “I’ve been watching you for a long time” echoing in his mind.

If Junhyuk had a sadistic streak, if he was of the same ilk, it wouldn’t have been hard to recognize. He might have tried to hide it, but perhaps it was evident. A sadist approaching him claiming to have long harbored feelings and recognizing his tastes might well be the ideal he dreamt of.

Mino needed certainty now.

“…What do I want?”

After pushing Junhyuk’s hand away, Mino asked shortly. Junhyuk’s expression, which twisted as if annoyed, looked as if he was enduring something.

“Senior, you like it rough, don’t you?”

As if stating a well-known fact, Junhyuk spoke with conviction.

“Do you have proof?”

“That’s what you say when you’ve been caught. I asked you for proof when you accused me of stealing your cigarettes.”

He couldn’t hide the tremor in his voice. Junhyuk, who had seen through Mino’s lie, smirked and placed the cigarette in his own mouth. Mino watched as Junhyuk struck a lighter, surely his own, and lit the cigarette. Deeply inhaling, Junhyuk blew the smoke into Mino’s face and said,

“I’ve never seen someone smile after being slapped.”

“I did…?”

“Years ago, senior. You were drunk and don’t remember, but you laughed after getting slapped during a quarrel. I’ve been watching you since then.”

Mino couldn’t remember. If he had, he would have probably dwelled on that memory, so it must have happened when he was thoroughly inebriated. Mino groaned and closed his eyes, realizing it was too late for excuses.

“So… you’re telling me to become your sub?”

He never imagined he’d have this conversation with his junior. Before meeting Dohoon, he might have been aroused by the idea. The indirect nicotine made his mouth water. He wanted to smoke.

“Anyway, that ‘good person’ can’t satisfy your needs, right?”

Junhyuk had a point. While sex with Dohoon was quite fulfilling, Mino still craved being hit hard, being punished harshly, and submitting to a master. If it had been something negotiable, he would have settled down long ago.

Still, he didn’t want to. Mino was certain; he wanted Dohoon to be his master, not Junhyuk. It was a sad realization. Dohoon was just a normal, good person, yet he wanted to be dominated by him.

“Hurry up. There’s still a lot of cigarette left.”

“So you badmouthed the seonsaeng-nim just for this? That was a lie too, right?”

Mino once again rejected the offered cigarette and stepped back. Junhyuk shrugged and moved a step closer, replying,

“It’s no lie. He’s not the ‘good person’ you think he is.”

“What do you mean by ‘got done’? Can you even bring up this so-called acquaintance you’re talking about?”

“Do you think you’d know if I told you? You don’t care about me or anyone around me.”

“I don’t know, but you can still explain. Explain how the seonsaeng-nim is promiscuous, even by your standards. I want to hear that first.”

“It’s really sad you don’t deny you’re not interested.”

What was he to do? The sincerity spreading inside him was unbearable. All he could hope for was that the dark night might conceal his expression.

“Do you like guys who mess around?”

“How can I believe just your words? How do you know the seonsaeng-nim? You’re from Gangdong and younger than me. There seems to be no connection between the two of you, how can I trust what you say? What if you’re lying to me?”

Mino logically countered with confidence.

“Do you trust a man you’ve only known for a month more than me, who’s been your college junior and a co-worker? Why would I lie about something like that?”

The longer the conversation went, the less Junhyuk had to offer a proper response. He had enticed Mino to choose him over the ‘good person,’ the seonsaeng-nim, but this became an issue. Junhyuk had met the ‘seonsaeng-nim’ at a BDSM club, and the only thing connecting them was that they both played in the same arena. If Mino came to understand the seonsaeng-nim’s preferences, it would be very troubling.

If Mino knew that, he would obviously not choose him. Caught in his own contradictions, Junhyuk fell silent, pondering his next move. How could he get Mino to leave the seonsaeng-nim and come to him? Should he resort to blackmail? Then it wouldn’t matter if the seonsaeng-nim’s tastes were revealed. The difference between him and the seonsaeng-nim was that he was intimately involved in Mino’s academic and work life. If he could make Mino abandon the seonsaeng-nim…

“I could keep you in my house and take care of you exactly as you wish for life.”

Even as he began to blackmail, Mino’s naive face only showed confusion, making him seem very cute.

Only then did Mino’s face go pale. If only his pale face bore shoe prints, it might have been worth watching. Junhyuk continued after clearing his throat.

“If you don’t come to me, I’ll spread the rumor that you’re a masochist. Then that ‘good person,’ the ‘seonsaeng-nim,’ might start disliking you, and you wouldn’t have any other options. I should have done this earlier. Ah! I always end up doing this. I’m sorry for making you choose. I should just eliminate the other options. I’m too late, aren’t I?”

After finishing his talk, Junhyuk was grinning broadly. His thoughts were so excellent that he couldn’t contain his laughter. And listening to him, Mino’s face was perfectly pale. The alley was devoid of color, making the splendid scene outside, filled with carols, seem like a different world.

“Crazy bastard…”

“Watch your language. I’m only letting it go this time. Come on, hug me now. You must be cold, senior. If you come to me now, I’ll take back what I just said. You handle that guy and come to me, okay?”

Mino realized there was no further retreat after only three seconds. The cold concrete wall pressed against his back brought a sense of despair, and then Junhyuk grabbed his hair.

“Ugh…”

Though his body was gradually responding, the feeling was so miserable he couldn’t stand it. Mino slightly bent his knees.

To headbutt Junhyuk’s jaw as he let go of his hair. And as he gathered strength to stand up, what his head touched was only air. With a rough noise following, Junhyuk disappeared as if evaporated. Mino, looking around for his target, saw not Junhyuk but a familiar man in a coat standing with his back turned.

The striking figure of the man who suddenly appeared was interrupted by the sight of Junhyuk sprawled on the ground. Junhyuk, frowning heavily, got up from the ground, dusting himself off.

Mino clenched his lips, feeling a chill run down his spine. It was Dohoon’s voice, which he had heard warmly just a few hours ago. Unable to call out to him, he only managed a pained sound.

“You do know you just pushed someone, right? How are you planning to handle this?”

“Then sue me.”

Dohoon stood in front of the frozen Mino with a cold expression. His heart felt like it was being smashed to the ground. He couldn’t utter a word, not knowing how much Dohoon had heard.

“Come here.”

Fortunately, Dohoon didn’t interrogate him right there. He simply reached out his hand. Mino placed his frozen hand over Dohoon’s warm one. Tears seemed imminent.

“Your hands are all frozen. How long were you standing out here?”

“…Just a little while.”

As Dohoon gently massaged his frozen hands, his gaze remained cold, making Mino feel uneasy. Mino moved his stiff legs and nestled into Dohoon’s embrace. He didn’t push him away, just held him close. When Dohoon seemed about to let go, Mino clung closer. He didn’t want to lose the scent of his body.

“Should we go to the car like this?”

Even in this situation, the chuckle in his voice was nice to hear. Mino himself couldn’t believe his actions.

“What a scene. Aren’t you getting in? It’s illegal parking!”

A woman’s loud voice came from afar. As she approached, stepping on the snow-covered ground, Mino flinched involuntarily at the unfamiliar sight of the woman. Dohoon soothed Mino as he led him to his car.

Could she be an angry resident due to the illegal parking? He glanced at the tall, angry-looking woman. She folded her eyes and smiled at Mino, confusing him further. As Mino was about to climb into the passenger seat, Junhyuk, who was still sitting on the ground, called out loudly.

“Senior. Even if you go now, whatever you hear from that guy, it won’t change anything. I’ll give you until tonight. Remember my words.”

He had threatened to spread rumors. Mino didn’t want an ordinary life, but he also didn’t want his life ruined like that. Mino glared at Junhyuk with a face that looked ready to cry. In the meantime, Dohoon, who had climbed into the driver’s seat, pulled on Mino’s arm. Even in this chaotic situation, his body warmth was strangely comforting. Yet, it was terrifying not knowing how much he had heard.

The woman who had approached the car window spoke to Dohoon. What did she mean by handling things? And Dohoon’s quick agreement to make a deposit was also puzzling. Mino watched the woman outside the car window in confusion.

“Ah, you’re pretty good-looking. That’s why these flies buzz around you. Ah, does that mean I’m treating you like crap? Sorry. Let’s have a meal together sometime.”

“Attorney So, shouldn’t you be hurrying to work?”

The snow had stopped falling. Eunju, wearing black loafers, walked heavily towards the fallen Junhyuk.

“‘J’, you know me, right?”

As she took out a cigarette from her pocket and put it in her mouth, Junhyuk responded in a languid voice.

“Is there anyone in this scene who doesn’t know your face? Why? Came to side with the ‘seonsaeng-nim’?”

At that, Eunju burst into laughter. Junhyuk frowned in annoyance as she laughed heartily. It was too much to throw ashes into cooked rice, especially when these two appeared at such a bad time. Yet, he wasn’t feeling too bad. Mino would come to him eventually.

Eunju smoked in silence.

As Eunju continued smoking, she cut off Junhyuk’s words angrily. Junhyuk, even amid this, was somewhat delighted to learn the new fact that the ‘seonsaeng-nim’ was a germaphobe. As far as he knew, Mino was terrible at cleaning, so the two really didn’t match.

After filling up on nicotine, Eunju crouched down like a thug.

Junhyuk’s face hardened. It was a totally unexpected remark.
