IBPC | Chapter 17.5

For the first time in a long while, Heegon climaxed inside Seoyul. Heegon gritted his teeth, savoring the overwhelming sensation of climax.

“Ah… mm…”

As Heegon’s semen poured in, Seoyul’s deepest inner walls were pressed, making him tremble again.

Ah, again—

It felt like his secret inner part was being tightly grasped and pulled up. The throbbing pleasure spread from there to his abdomen, coursing through his veins and throughout his body. Each flow brought a tremor, an uncontrollable… blissful peak.

“Haa… heuh…”

Seoyul grasped at the air with trembling hands, then held onto Heegon’s arm. Feeling the languor that followed the stiffness and tension, he closed his eyes.

I can’t breathe…

In that state, he paused his breathing, savoring everything. Seoyul, having endured so much in a short moment, collapsed into Heegon’s embrace.

“Yul-ah.”

And Heegon, holding Seoyul tightly, moved his manhood a few more times inside him after the long climax. Then, with heavy breaths, he buried his face in Seoyul’s neck.

The overwhelming sensation of climax, gained through each other’s bodies after so long, left them both dazed.

For a while, they held each other, catching their breath over and over again.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Heegon took Seoyul to the beach before the sunlight became too strong. Unfortunately, the waves were high today, so they couldn’t watch the fishermen catch fish.

“The weather is nice, but the waves seem high.”

“Looks like it.”

So, Heegon and Seoyul took off their shoes, rolled up their pants, and walked along the beach. Just doing that made them feel refreshed.

“Are you good at swimming, Your Highness?”

“…Swimming?”

“Swimming in the water. Floating around.”

At Seoyul’s question, Heegon frowned slightly and shook his head. Seoyul seemed surprised.

“Really?”

“There’s not much reason to swim, is there?”

“What if you fall into the water?”

“Someone will rescue me.”

“What if there’s no one to rescue you?”

“…It’s rare for there to be no one by my side.”

At Heegon’s matter-of-fact answer, Seoyul thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

“That’s true… But I know how to swim. If you fall into the water, I can save you.”

“That would be nice.”

Heegon let out a short laugh. Seoyul looked at Heegon and then turned his gaze back to the sea.

“Even a dominant alpha has things they can’t do.”

“…?”

Muttering words that Heegon couldn’t quite understand, Seoyul walked ahead. The sunlight was harsh, but the waves crashing at their feet were quite cold. So they walked along the sandy beach, avoiding the waves, but occasionally, strong waves reached where they were standing. Each time, Seoyul jumped up like a child and laughed.

Seoyul’s face was filled with a bright smile all day. When he laughed out loud, the joy was so evident that even Heegon couldn’t help but smile.

“You really like the sea, don’t you?”

“Yes, I love summer the most. It would be fun to come in the summer. It’s a bit cold now.”

Seoyul stepped on the receding waves and looked back at Heegon. He met Heegon’s eyes, who was quietly watching him, and then turned his body. To shield his eyes from the sunlight pouring onto his face, Seoyul covered his eyes with his hands and observed Heegon as if it were something new.

He was dressed comfortably, not in his usual uniform. His hair wasn’t neatly styled, and yet Heegon still shone brightly. His broad shoulders and tall stature cast a long shadow that reached where Seoyul stood.

“You must have been popular where I live, Your Highness.”

“…?”

“And you’re a dominant alpha.”

“What about you?”

“Me?”

Seoyul laughed awkwardly.

“I’m just a recessive… As you can see, I’m ordinary. If you had come to my world, we probably wouldn’t have met.”

“…”

“In my world, there are many remarkable omegas… or Eumin, and someone like you, a Yangin, wouldn’t have chosen me.”

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it. The fact that Heegon was attracted to him because he was an omega. In this world, there were hardly any omegas, so it was only natural that he was instinctively drawn to the only omega.

And the same went for him. If the first alpha he met after coming here had been someone else. If, by any chance, he had met King Eulsa or Tae Kangmu first, he couldn’t be sure what would have happened.

But his current feelings were something he couldn’t help.

Tae Heegon and he had met each other, transcending time. As each other’s first alpha and omega. Perhaps that was the will of Seombaek, who governs fate. They had met, leaving everything behind, and ended up here.

It was a feeling that couldn’t be reversed anyway.

“Indeed, you are the only Eumin to me.”

When Seoyul stood silently for a moment, Heegon took a few steps closer. Seoyul filled Heegon’s eyes.

Now, Seoyul’s light brown hair had grown to shoulder length, enough to be tied up halfway. Today, too, Seoyul had tied it up halfway with a short silk ribbon, and the bangs that couldn’t be tied flowed down beside his ears. Those few strands of hair sparkled in the sunlight.

Heegon gently brushed aside Seoyul’s flowing hair.

“But that’s not all of you, is it?”

“Still, you were attracted to me because I’m an Eumin.”

“That’s only natural. Being an Eumin is also a part of you.”

“…”

“Sometimes you cry like a child, you can’t hide your emotions well and blush easily, and you laugh brightly without any hesitation.”

Heegon’s gaze softly focused on Seoyul.

“You get fascinated by trivial things like stone lanterns and focus on them all day, you can’t eat bland food well, but after a meal, you always have to have tea or fruit even if you’re full. You like washing up so much that you want to stay in the bath for a long time, but you can’t stand the heat. You’re scared of riding horses and whine about it, but you don’t give up easily. That’s the kind of person you are.”

“…”

“All those little pieces come together to make you, so why do you think you were chosen just because you’re an Eumin?”

Heegon’s gentle gaze never left Seoyul. Meanwhile, his mind occasionally drifted back to the day he first saw Seoyul.

The day when the madness was particularly overwhelming. Seoyul appeared before him like that. They embraced each other, intoxicated by each other’s scent, without even knowing each other’s names. Seoyul seemed like someone prepared just for him.

But because they matched physically first, they didn’t realize their feelings for each other gradually. So, not knowing that, he tried to forcefully pull Seoyul into himself, fearing they might drift apart.

It was only after holding the wounded and tattered Seoyul that he realized what Seoyul meant to him.

Despite his mistakes, Seoyul didn’t close the heart he had opened. That became his only and absolute salvation.

“…Yul.”

Heegon, emerging from his long and deep thoughts, quietly called Seoyul. Seoyul had already been looking at Heegon with trembling eyes for a while. The words Heegon spoke were overwhelming.

Seeing Seoyul like that, Heegon released the hand he was holding. Then he lowered his gaze for a moment.

“…?”

Come to think of it, Heegon’s expression was quite heavy. When Seoyul realized this and looked up at him quietly, Heegon took another step closer. Then he tilted his head slightly, raised his hand, and brought it to his ear. He removed the earring hanging from his right ear.

Seoyul didn’t realize what Heegon was doing. He just stared at him blankly, not understanding, as Heegon brought the removed earring and placed it on Seoyul’s left ear.

“…”

He had forgotten for a while. The earring that used to hang from his left ear. The mark that Heegon had made for him.

But he had thrown it into the pond at his residence a long time ago, so he wasn’t wearing anything now. Now that the wound from that time had completely healed and faded, the earring was placed on that ear again. This time, it wasn’t a newly made one, but the one that had been hanging on Heegon’s ear.

“Why this…?”

After Heegon placed the earring, Seoyul touched his ear in surprise. Feeling the earring with his fingertips, Seoyul gave an awkward smile.

“It’s your mother’s… keepsake.”

The earring he had worn last time hadn’t felt this heavy, Seoyul thought. It was a presence that felt that weighty. But Heegon lightly relieved that weight.

“But now it’s mine, and it’s yours too.”

Heegon’s words carried a lot of meaning. However, Seoyul took a step back with trembling eyes.

“But… I can’t accept something like this—”

Heegon closed the distance Seoyul had retreated. Heegon reached out and embraced Seoyul’s waist. Then he pulled him into his arms and brought his face closer.

“…”

“…”

Their eyes met at an incredibly close distance. At that moment, a strong wave came in, creating a spray where they stood. Tiny droplets of water, scattered by the sunlight, brushed past them and dispersed.

Heegon, with a faint smile, asked Seoyul.

“They say ‘yeonmo’ (love) here.”

“…?”

“In this place, when you want to spend your life with someone… when you share your heart with someone, that’s what they say. What do they say where you’re from?”

At Heegon’s question, Seoyul bit his lip once and answered in a small voice.

“They say… ‘sarang’.”

A clear blush appeared under Seoyul’s eyes. Seeing that, Heegon slowly closed his eyes. Then he brought his face closer to Seoyul’s forehead and touched it.

“Yul.”

Heegon’s arms pulled Seoyul even closer.

“I love you.”

Heegon’s voice deeply penetrated Seoyul, soaking in like blood. It was so vivid and clear that it couldn’t be denied.

Seoyul closed his trembling eyes tightly. Then he raised his hand and embraced Heegon.

Without any more words, the two kissed. It was a long and lingering kiss.
