ST Ch 2

I barely managed to squeeze out my voice. Even though there was no way he couldn’t hear me, Cha Jeong-won didn’t respond. Did it mean he didn’t want to hear such whining? I didn’t say anything more, biting my lips and tightening my grip on the hand I was holding.280507d25b56d91c

Squelch, squelch. The wet sounds made 25385bdb8c the air damp and 026fcc9a18 moist as he probed ef4d52719c deeper inside.2f135a5112a986d0

The unfamiliar sensation of d6252163c3 being penetrated below was 61e19409bf still painful, despite having 4fb46fb578 been intimate with him 493866e73b for a long time. Along with b0b05df2aa the feeling 06649062ff of fire 00a31431e7 blazing down 6dddd967e9 below, I b857c17013 tensed the ad8b982d8f tips of 7c446a7452 my toes b5c98e528e as I 5fdb9e0a21 had to 50f458e6b9 stand on d2a39cd412 both feet a06fa634e3 with nothing 4264d68e5c to lean ad26846b66 on.815719ca30180bff

I bit my dc0310ecc8 lip and barely c5d9a8548c managed to breathe. The three fingers that aca48e7dca had settled inside pressed e340ff625d against my inner walls, 20fb0de657 moving busily to expand f3f00da494 the opening. After a moment, the 9251eed512 fingers that had been 3d96eee1e7 probing inside slowly pulled 3a1b85d95f out. The tension that had db1b508973 been coursing through my 9bc59a3c3d body melted away.36d567d4f148d91f

Cha Jeong-won commanded simply. I naturally settled onto his thighs, as if obeying his words. Without any shame, I bent my knees and spread my legs in an M-shape. Sitting on Cha Jeong-won’s firm, muscular thighs, I reached out to fondle his genitals. I hesitated briefly at his erect penis, which had quickly become hard again despite having ejaculated once already.cce1f612082011d6

As always, penetration was scary. But Cha Jeong-won clearly needed this act. No matter how many times I made him ejaculate with my mouth, hands, sometimes nipples, sometimes thighs, he wanted the act of pushing into something and releasing. And I wasn’t the only one who could fulfill that act for him.730329b29225c15e

Should I be grateful just for him coming home? The more I thought about it, the firmer my resolve became. For some reason, I felt like I might cry. I remembered the article I had seen before he arrived. Cha Jeong-won said he hadn’t slept with the woman he was seen leaving the hotel with, but no one really knew. I couldn’t trust him. But I had to believe him.d7d96b1b039b6721

I chewed on my lip for a moment before lifting my hips. My knees and the backs of my thighs tensed. I positioned my lower half, which had been made wet and sloppy by Cha Jeong-won’s fingers, against his penis and slowly lowered my weight.ac43f7fd75c3bc41

A pained sound escaped my throat from the pain and anticipation of the heavy act to come. With nowhere to place my hands, I gripped my bent knees. The glans slowly began to settle inside. But I couldn’t let my guard down just because it had entered. Cha Jeong-won’s penis grew thicker towards the middle compared to the glans.e84b8fb7b569b6bc

I felt like 57f41c4ac4 I might gag. His penis filling me f8417a28a9 up completely left me 5732dda5d6 helpless, like a tsunami 1a9397cfd0 sweeping over a coastal 36bcca8f7b city.33f6ea22fadf2071

Cha Jeong-won 762250aa33 grabbed my a8e7689ee5 waist and 5a914c98e8 made me 3ccd4cbe16 sit down c36f305eb3 fully. Without realizing it, my 969678cf92 back arched inward and 77ad1cfdb9 I let out a ec93081983 sound like a shriek.8a2c3cd0fc9f1902

The penis firmly settled inside felt vivid. Breathing felt awkward, so I exhaled in short bursts – ‘hah, hnn.’ The sensation below was strange as always. It should have become familiar by now, but it hadn’t. That aspect must be annoying and tiresome. I always acted like a novice whenever I tried to get physically intimate.fc02d1a80d0499f0

While I was adjusting to the penis filling me up inside, Cha Jeong-won’s face drew closer to mine. I looked at his approaching face before squeezing my eyes shut. But our lips didn’t meet. He firmly grasped my jaw with one hand, tilting my head back. I opened my eyes slightly to look at him. He buried his face in my neck, sucking hard with his lips before biting down firmly.b9fed00a2d741b71

I wasn’t sure if I was doing it properly. My body after penetration was difficult to handle on my own. All my nerves were focused solely on Cha Jeong-won. I was anxious to read his reactions. Cha Jeong-won knew this too.a78669953c8cf9ac

So he gave such crude orders to me, who was supposed to be his lover. I obediently raised my hands to fondle both of my nipples at Cha Jeong-won’s words. All the while, I didn’t stop moving my lower body up and down busily. While Cha Jeong-won buried his face in my neck, licking my skin incessantly, I had to rock my hips on top of him while pulling on my nipples.43949fad74b2ad7f

Even while claiming all my nerves were focused on Cha Jeong-won, I was already fully erect below, my penis sticking firmly to my stomach. Just from being connected with Cha Jeong-won, from him sucking on my neck, from us being naked together late in the evening – just from these things alone I was overwhelmed with excitement.aa6266d3b1de71b6

Slap, slap! Along with the sound of skin meeting skin, I lowered my body deeply. At the same time, Cha Jeong-won lifted his hips. As if my full weight bearing down wasn’t enough to make me erect, when Cha Jeong-won thrust up forcefully, I shuddered and let out a “Hic…!” sound as if having a seizure.7a20190e8c1e5944

At the sudden sensation, my upper body pitched forward. I buried my forehead against Cha Jeong-won’s chest. He’ll hate this… That thought immediately came to mind. I squeezed my eyes shut before slowly pulling away. Cha Jeong-won’s penis was so fully inside me that I couldn’t see it. But the pale semen leaking steadily from my penis was already wetting both our stomachs and pubic hair. Once again I had ejaculated while only being thrust into from behind. I hated myself every time I showed this side.43edab856e88db4f

My eyes 9af52c3337 wavered as 79fc58d8ef if I 60d4c60499 might cry. I raised my 78496c7ce5 head again.7b7f5fed5caef9a1

At those words, I hugged Cha Jeong-won’s shoulders. Then, even though the afterglow of my recent ejaculation hadn’t fully faded, I moved my body busily. When I rotated my hips in circles, Cha Jeong-won also exhaled lowly. He ran his hands down my body as I clung to his shoulders, then grabbed my waist and lifted me up.938500851a64109a

I rubbed my penis against Cha Jeong-won’s lower abdomen. I arched my back, trying to press closer to him. I pressed my penis, which was already leaking semen and feeling the afterglow of ejaculation, even more tightly against him. Was it pathetic to want to feel his body heat like this? But it felt good. I bit down hard on my lip and dug my nails into his shoulders. At the same time, I breathed heavily at the semen gushing inside me before the strength suddenly drained from my body.8e5bf3d6023ba6dd

We had done 89be14eee7 it three times 5e56183d43 in a row e5581d5486 on the sofa 9055ae1fb7 without any breaks. And that e1a49c68b4 was just 46ce999214 by his bda256039c standards. I had no choice 90b1bbfc9e but to ejaculate multiple 356719007f times, eventually leaking clear 470e488774 fluid.

The first floor connected to a terrace. The bedroom, living room, and Cha Jeong-won’s study all did. The incoming breeze was blatant.3b26360c74f80795

Cha Jeong-won smoked, and 1057eccdd0 I was honestly worried 1ad3fc7d32 it might make his 8b69d6f9d6 hands shake or reduce 31ceb7f638 his concentration due to 97f3beaed2 withdrawal symptoms.

While I was sitting f9ce796ea7 on the edge of 844c048a31 the bed, the bathroom a698ba3c78 door in the bedroom 2c29761354 opened. Light slowly ab1ae29a20 brightened the 9bfb2124ce darkness.

When I e8c9c5c4c6 opened my 5cd05792be eyes in 9d82546dfe the morning, 3a60179530 Cha Jeong-won 185251af19 was asleep 1f43e34c5e facing me. I silently looked 84d4529982 at him for 06874f53b4 a moment before 1deb8ed12f carefully getting out 49a3bf48ee of bed. A rather cool breeze 0b2a654d44 was coming in through 78ec13b254 the half-open terrace door.

It was 0b8951d8a1 such a 976c613ef7 peaceful day. My gaze slowly rolled f1cd255c0c from the window to dfed263521 the clock on the 453106a26e wall.

Just as I was about to forcibly relax my expression, Cha Jeong-won came out to the living room. His hair ends were wet as if he had just washed, but he still looked sleepy. Clearly tired, he rubbed his freshly shaved jaw as he looked at me. We didn’t have much conversation.f94037cec03b7403

“Eat breakfast.”795728fa7aaddda4

That was all I said. Cha Jeong-won silently looked down at me for a moment. Even though he hadn’t asked, I added:f968c02e8ddd4645

“I’ll eat too…”7d6c1fca344231c0

Then I stood up and went to the rice cooker. While Cha Jeong-won brought two glasses of water, I scooped rice, put the frying pan on the table, and set out spoons and bowls of soup in front of each of us. Without even a simple “Let’s eat” greeting, we each ate our meals. I was glad I had turned on the TV. At least it wasn’t completely silent.7626bd4101da6850

Cha Jeong-won had always been like this. He wasn’t very talkative. When I was younger, that aspect of him seemed cool. By the time I realized it was more than just admiration, I was too busy suppressing my own emotions rather than being captivated by his demeanor. When we first started dating…43c2332d326706ff

Even knowing that living in the past meant only living in the past, I was still living in the past. It was amazing that Cha Jeong-won didn’t break up with me, despite being taciturn and only saying harsh words. Perhaps he had forgotten I was his lover.904dfea874c134d1

As my 663fbb4e1e thoughts spiraled, 709eda6076 I gripped 87a8570f95 my spoon 84f9878689 tightly. I glanced at 77f606ae2c Cha Jeong-won while c95dd13870 deliberately taking a 791a455285 deep breath, then 0967586435 dipped my spoon d4db0c8fed in the soup 97452ebeae and stirred it. Instead of aaf7afcddb telling Cha ad86f52d1a Jeong-won my 6b5895d836 current thoughts, 755a01fa3d I just d3a5cca2a6 swallowed the 64c056f8fe soup.807ab43a4cb774e5

I often went along to Cha Jeong-won’s training under the pretext of supporting him, but in reality I felt very anxious each time. It was because the responsibility of being someone Cha Jeong-won needed weighed even more heavily on me.246094f054671224

After tapping my front 6f81d51592 teeth with my spoon, 287e297521 I rolled my eyes b9415889b3 once before fixing them 230f9b92fa on Cha Jeong-won.2316202a8961b15e

Even if there was nothing yet, he would know his own body better than anyone. Hearing Cha Jeong-won’s concise answer, I nodded.9a11580cda74e954

To be honest, I don’t know much about the guns Cha Jeong-won uses. He has never talked to me about work-related things. My knowledge about shooting hasn’t changed much from when I first went to his training grounds at 16 to now at 29, 13 years later.1638fcdefbac8f37

At 16, since he was young too, he practiced more with air pistols than real guns, and I would sometimes imitate him beside him. But once he started practicing with real guns in high school, I would just stay in the athletes’ waiting room, or if the weather was nice, come outside and listen to the bang- sounds that seemed to pierce my ears.7b5a1bd1f906e46c

Once again lost in the past, I raised my head to look straight ahead. My gaze fell on Cha Jeong-won. Standing in the warm sunlight, he was wearing glasses. He usually didn’t wear glasses, but during training and competitions he wore them because of the clip that covered one eye.bdd24a0935f72195

Cha Jeong-won loaded bullets and vaguely nodded at the coach’s words before turning his head slightly. His gaze turned to me sitting in the back wearing headphone-style earmuffs.ef9e6a71ec141eeb

Although I didn’t come to the training grounds every day, I did have my own earmuffs. The gunshot sounds were so loud that even the athletes used earmuffs, but Cha Jeong-won used in-ear ones that focused on the ear canal rather than covering the whole ear, while I used over-ear ones that protected the entire ear.a2e1f9283c4c58c3
