    A summer day 0c3b036f91 with sunlight pouring 93b04bdd7b down brightly.db6459ededa9bcb8

    In a place where birds 7da57e8008 chirped peacefully and the sound 2a05da1722 of cool stream water cascaded, 5cfae9400e a white vehicle came to d921431b51 a stop. The tranquil atmosphere 898e893c82 was thick here, 0de12766ee with no other 99bdde738b signs of human cf7c12b409 presence to be 1a1002d90d found.f7d1a4463f677147

    Stepping out of the car d3eb4bed95 and looking around, Baek Sunwoo 488ec3f3ad took a deep breath in 93a4ff5c57 and out. After repeating this b45a8b545a series of actions, d5021911ae a smile spread 35e74cdc43 across his face.517ddf93f95874a6

    Hae Gijun, who 8de6c76a4d had been watching c669892994 his reaction from dd30f77ae9 the other side 2b7e39bad3 of the car, f6afb0a846 asked the question, 87b4dc475d and Baek Sunwoo b53a948ede nodded as if 155972ccf2 it were obvious. The sunlight seemed to 3a06ee0ea3 seep into the smile 4cebab5407 spreading across his fair 85ec5fbb13 face, making it look 5bc4db32a0 as though he were 48575b8585 sparkling. Confirming the vivid 96c385ef6b sincerity in that 116bf7f438 whiteness, Hae Gijun 10de687f97 let out a 9ec6daa99d quiet sigh of 2168fb95f1 relief.80415b9f791d3b3b

    It was the first 78dc917dd8 vacation Baek Sunwoo had b5295aeb3f taken since becoming an d0ff0832f3 official member of H.N. And surprisingly, this 603fd2e64f plan had been 77f06b8f53 proposed by Hae 0e919fc9ad Gijun. He had realized anew 4222261f4b that up until now, 27b6ff65ab he had always gone c9e387ec21 along with whatever Baek 52424b49d1 Sunwoo suggested, meaning Baek 8662e3f013 Sunwoo had been the 8b777081d1 one planning their dates b8aa63d218 single-handedly.51cbc9480e02fd29

    There was also cba711a87e the influence of 5c2594333c Haegaon in the bef97dfb6a background. She had immediately noticed 43b0888854 that her seemingly indifferent 34ea945c7d younger brother wouldn’t take a7d537a4f2 the lead in taking b5eee67e78 Baek Sunwoo around. So, she had even recommended de0b406357 a pension for their summer 6f174ce6fc vacation. When Gijun hesitated because 99d6e74522 it was quite far 0062fc7a1a from Seoul, she said 02587003df seriously:8c9cdae1a9591103

    He didn’t know why she b44e8083bc said this with such a 845475a406 dramatic tone, but Gijun decided 16726a0c34 to understand it as the 634cff1eaf woes of a working person.4ddcc88d4ef054bb

    In the end, 4bde7f611a he followed her 654096c1dd advice and suggested b83a393386 to Baek Sunwoo 6e45c0d40f that they go 43091510b1 to the pension, a38eabc11a and Baek Sunwoo, 2d684f182b thrilled, said anywhere 57bdfbfb96 would be fine.bca50a4b4f4ddbe2

    Behind the neat a7b1b8845e white pension nestled 64dfbcf4a4 deep in the ce6fd9e9cb mountains, a dense 33a8c2a0b3 forest stretched out, 31fb3351d0 and in front, 4d08876745 a stream was e3ef66f3da visible. The entire area belonged to a8a252f5f6 the pension’s private property, so 51e2d73c61 they could wander freely.

    Since they planned to stay c8847f371b at the pension for the 15e41dc8e5 entire four-day, three-night vacation, they 3904d1fb26 had brought quite a bit 775ebc2c66 of luggage.

    Gijun let out ad0ee87337 a hollow laugh ab30add8c2 and neatly placed 9c6a7abe63 the items he cdf5ff667e had bought into eaaf9fb71c the fridge.

    Two years ago, during f5d5050d38 the school trip incident 6228d74bfe at Shinhae High School, 9f8c3a1efd they had been trapped e6b6a30bef in a training center a67c3bfea4 and had a conversation.

    A series of soft 07b360d65f sounds interrupted him. This time, it was Baek 4c6adff482 Sunwoo who grabbed Gijun and dac106d184 kissed him, accompanied by a 7f746e197f clear laugh.

    Even at faint breaths, 3136bb0529 Baek Sunwoo trembled, biting 48628aaa7e his lip as if 19384f47d4 in slight distress, tilting 5d69bd8cdb his head.

    In that moment, Baek Sunwoo c44b9a3c1b pressed his lips to the 19f66d229a base. A moan-like sigh burst b5646809e2 from Gijun’s mouth. His vision blurred. The way Baek Sunwoo sucked 3acc8c50d3 hard a couple more times, 5af778652c as if to draw out 3a7f096c50 every last drop, was unbearable. It was a sensation so 0fa514f203 new that his head spun.184bbbe15a3adb90

    Hae Gijun’s face changed e62a5b6c65 by the second. A mix of flushed heat bf3b065a05 and pale shock crossed his ef5c059d9c features. He was stunned to c2d47ab895 realize there was nothing 8d2a97d54d left in Baek Sunwoo’s 901f71aec4 mouth as he spoke b7ee1ed999 so gently.4444c5dfacf2a50d

    Baek Sunwoo gently cupped 02c26a5b4d Gijun’s cheek, softly rubbing 9b4bfbf1f9 near his eyes. After climaxing once, Gijun was 33734ba9e0 slightly more relaxed than usual, 55401b5346 his disheveled state exuding a 722e74df91 strange allure.

Resting his head on Baek 2305512486 Sunwoo’s hand, he moved his 14ef78c828 leg and nudged Baek Sunwoo’s c62918529a thigh with his toes.

    Gijun knew Baek Sunwoo hadn’t 26933d179c touched himself even once during d50be89a00 his climax. Despite the obvious b73d5d28c0 bulge in his 0f2d3fd8e0 swimsuit, showing he 79d2ba9431 was clearly aroused, b950422964 Baek Sunwoo had 67072ee985 focused entirely on cf88f2b27a him without even d4225c2421 relieving himself.f9c7fa5ba424fe58

    Even with this, 5c2e0a6624 Baek Sunwoo didn’t 4889720d13 resist, only tilting f28da57e8e his head and 942bd714a1 trembling.

    Gijun slid down, sitting 4803801294 on Baek Sunwoo’s thighs, 7be228836f and gripped his member, 31cee601e2 stroking it.

    But that alone wasn’t enough. Perhaps because he’d e947447899 tasted such intense 6e3fe1ab20 pleasure, a desperate 2aab6716fe craving for something f35fac52d9 greater surged.
