    It wasn’t anything new 58e3ff105b for the man to eefe40ace1 come pick him up, 7e2dba31b8 yet Seungwan still found c61f689932 himself nodding as if 5f454f64a3 it were. Even though they were 89ecfa142e simply heading home, the a996b69c87 fact that he had 5610a94bbf made plans to meet bbd547e59e someone after work felt 090e03f1eb somewhat special. The man stared 201c5f3b55 at Seungwan for 4472bbb3b4 a moment before 4290392d37 patting his shoulder.422e1823359e5846

    With a short cdb13c2dfa reply, Seungwan headed 3c2582ad27 toward the store. Since they acdfa96c8c were leaving c4a0a4c4d3 together later, 74ad85dc91 he figured c12eb9f818 it would c17345462a be best 18b43349e7 to finish 4ce09bfaf0 all his 1cc55679f8 work in e23fba5201 advance if e79ff26e4a he wanted 0f13a793df to leave 4c24110311 even a b6a3e2f78f little earlier. And so, he 0788355ca9 worked diligently throughout 81e26c2fa9 the afternoon, hoping 043d3fae33 to get off b342194d94 at least ten d5b85aef6f minutes ahead of a392a2c539 time.b014c03be044edc3

    Manager Song, who never 80ff805140 failed to notice Seungwan’s 58b0eb5744 hard work, urged him 9c874fd223 to leave as soon a88cc1d05b as he was done. Feeling even more e530b698e6 grateful than usual, 81776d769d Seungwan bowed deeply 9b6bce899f before clocking out. Manager Song simply chuckled, d9e001488e sending him off with 6feab91d6d an amused laugh. By the time 714a4702dc Seungwan reached the 4243017cae parking lot, the a2acba7f9a man’s truck was f30b3ee001 parked in a 04a4e6b248 different spot from 487f7e26ee earlier.4dd001ed920eed89

    As he got c40ea6c5d9 closer, he saw cf5dffcb42 the man sitting d86cbf0c70 directly on the 137980a827 ground, leaning against 85d0324119 the front tire 70211c8f86 of the driver’s 4206d7f9a4 seat, completely absorbed 31cb19b208 in a book. It was a tattered a5720873ca old martial arts novel bf3ce574d1 with frayed edges. In one hand, b9add4e40c he held a 8d0334e2f0 cigarette, though he 630ac1b9d3 seemed to have 20539d43e5 forgotten it was 3bcd26226d even lit, too 59051a6f13 focused on flipping a428ac5183 through the pages 56fa5fbfc7 with a soft c9e18ca35b rustling sound.f080d8639a60e99e

    As if surprised, the 3944342da4 man quickly put out 80cde59750 the cigarette on the d11ae6fc15 ground and waved his f24e687fdd hand to clear the b50ce8508b air. Seungwan was a 26ddda6f55 smoker too, so a15bd6b121 there was no 06000e1f02 need for such a517fc6efa consideration. But it seemed the 1bae687a15 man was unaware of d456f7a8f5 that. Not wanting to 019e77d9b5 correct someone who 69435ea527 was being thoughtful, 961333b717 Seungwan simply stayed 2dd0d1ba28 quiet.c0cc412bab54f16b

Seungwan gave a small eeed6e07cf nod. When the man suggested 7942fe7390 they go to town 290ba74f91 for a soft tofu 16454ada46 set meal, Seungwan nodded ca0f2a22ce just as obediently.5b0163012efd3bdf

    But once they got 8ea581820f home and the man e1d3f3babf spread everything out in 263b4a753c the living room, asking 07fd70c93a that question, Seungwan found af465b386b himself unable to answer e398e60fd8 so easily. An STD 3564f84738 prevention kit? He could hardly believe ff810cb9fc he needed to prepare e52ad8c9fd for something like that, 8aaba07956 so he just stared 155a1b5bf6 blankly at the man’s 34e3bb5413 actions. Then, feeling increasingly embarrassed, 8832859720 he shifted uncomfortably without be2495919f realizing it.1d2edaf45c8d3809

    He had 108ec75d61 never had 13a593a32f a conversation 96f3f5fbf5 like this 61e953d06d with anyone 6e0b72c465 before, and 684d7c36be of all 3c7d7d349d people, it ce5b6d7557 had to 8daae6a341 be with 62c736f136 this man. The only 9d8a38e131 thing on 132ff127b4 his mind 9b1c08d97f was how 7d8da2c540 badly he a5e6df7f48 wanted to f36d781ea9 escape this 4e80ba44ee situation.91d225feba0d5b2b

    What the man c533bede9e took out looked d343d6ec1f like the vitamin b012173d3d C candies Seungwan 90a6c84e58 used to eat 0a04c09c15 as a child, 2f0f326729 but they were 43bed88e9b actually condoms. Various sizes, a311d96c6b including L, e925555567 XL, and 3964a729da XXL, were 284191318f printed on 8ddf65ae90 the packaging, 8aae279762 and the 207612fff6 condoms were 365dd12ea2 strung together ef0da49b33 like a 892e9b0145 chain of 424321d796 candy.74d387ac0ab1b149

    The man picked dd37570116 out a condom c3a9f1e076 labeled XXL in 8d27d56495 black packaging. Seungwan could only stare cf13f1042f as he grabbed a 9417b71307 handful of the accordion-folded 6b7c05f731 condoms and tossed them e3a5e0b585 into the kit box.d912a771665a159c

    His face felt 280f116389 like it was e799971b51 going to explode. He barely managed to 9b9c1a08f5 stop his gaze from 979bb70b11 drifting to the man’s 29f712ea83 lower body. His ears burned 4eed2ec9d4 so hot he 5f14dbaa80 could feel the b6fb77bf54 heat himself, so 93016fcfa8 the man had c0087453de to see the 7cdaa6e53f color spreading across 8126b54745 his skin. Seungwan rubbed at his 4ff30ef272 ears, praying for the 73651c6545 heat to subside, but 5ff6ef5b81 it was no use. No matter ae39f7a591 what he 93e216a8f5 did, the f44701434d warmth refused f736726989 to fade.8f54f4a6da9c7f8c

    The man dcbc1dc2ce muttered something 5cb0a3e1aa under his a0d62baeb7 breath before cb6fadcc95 putting the 41a68ce5bf condoms away. The next thing he f4697997d9 picked up was a 890e910246 capped tube. Seungwan didn’t get 0968114f62 a good look b839aa92ec at the writing d3e06bad5a on the packaging, dc87206278 but it was 0307981ab4 flashy. As he 8f28c4061c touched his 582d6c1122 burning ears f06bed59d2 and stared 0664fad429 at the 3c12ae41cc bright pink 6c5f5e7ca2 container, the 02d4b69ff8 man suddenly bb4c29a017 held it 4d12e309bf up right c30aa46e64 in front f2faf2a957 of his 9de44f56e7 eyes.4748cb8d256e9197

    Seungwan thought the 809c7f8cef same thing. He wasn’t exactly sure 3e5279a71a how it was used, 5bc1ab0c51 but he at least 5930213c58 understood that it was 0a94caacc0 for something as embarrassing 0158b733a1 as condoms.

    Technically, Seungwan would 48ad094256 be the one 5e954469c3 making the request, 19230122e7 and even if 044e77d2b9 it was just 7d6e8698d0 a simple test ad0b4938aa kit, wasn’t it 7bd9a5e505 a bit weird 929b1d1839 to ask someone 2de3551b41 to take an 3f802af7f4 STD test… Still, 74135cc8a0 he hesitated and ebf7c5ca45 swallowed back his 4a5f4a0626 words.cce4d4b7f5d5e0a6

    Seungwan wanted to thank cbe50bd021 him for going out bbf9c024c2 of his way and ddf98e4b83 say that he’d handle 3ff5fe1388 the rest on his 381a3b99cf own. But at the 2dd25f195d same time, since f8fd31a6d8 he had never cc7b81c72c had someone step 9bf28f09ca in and take de7149bbea care of things df73eb21e7 for him like 0525913105 this, he found 70b643ca56 himself wanting to e93856d8e3 embrace the tingling a6afe8e7d0 sensation, like stepping e549dd9835 into warm water 1dc78cc7ee for the first 6ae2f703c6 time.8a745a734b4fd5f8

That kind of scene db6f5b9051 felt like something from 120c1d7321 another world. So, it wasn’t 2d93e5166b strange that he d3aaf5f78f wanted to see 3be126988b just a little ebc6fbbb80 more of someone 23fcc7a731 preparing something on 851c89aed6 his behalf when 16dff47452 he said he ca99d81417 would do it 5d1bb11edc himself.b171bc86c4207a7a

    Seungwan admitted to 88c67b7488 his own deficiency. And he decided not f254282108 to stop the man. He was grateful that ab6620f6c1 someone cared this much 1785228c98 about the problems caused fac64f9535 by his damaged pheromone 46ece83ff5 system. Even as 079fd6d88d he quietly 19e02c4d30 listened to 923a472062 the man’s 0927f6948a explanations, he a888631d64 wasn’t really ce7231fa52 focusing on 0b216f19b0 what was 63609686a8 being said.

    Unlike when he 6fdea94324 spoke to others, 66f98fef7f the man didn’t 7701196dc7 use dialect in 3386a81a74 front of Seungwan.

    The man hummed 3b2371c8c9 in his throat 88ea1fa098 and asked again. Seungwan hesitated before 8644ac3d05 shaking his head. He did feel a 08ef4ae02c little drowsy, but not 048758cb83 enough to fall asleep. It was more that fbbd849d31 the man’s voice was ac0ac348e0 pleasant to listen to, abbb88d88c like the sound of 07d3cedb59 rain outside the window, 1623838636 so he had been a88765ef62 absorbed in the sound 96c9ee0e63 itself rather than the 33b1286dd1 words.

    The touch was sudden. Even though it was just their wrists making contact, the shock made Seungwan’s eyes widen. The only sound he managed was a short, foolish gasp. The man didn’t seem to care about Seungwan’s reaction and simply pulled him in. Seungwan couldn’t even resist as he was drawn into the man’s arms.
