I’m Not That Obsessive

Chapter 74

“Huh? Earlier?”

“You were grinning, touching, and flirting, weren’t you?”

“Who? Me?”

What nonsense is this?

Who’s flirting with whom?

I knew he was angry, but I didn’t expect him to misunderstand that I was flirting. No matter how many times I told him I wasn’t interested in men, he never listened. He seemed to think everyone was as crazy about men as he was.

No, how could I flirt with that guy unless I’ve lost my mind!

“Mitchell, who’s flirting with whom?”

I laughed because it was so absurd. I was just happy because Thompson praised Mitchell, but Mitchell misunderstood and was getting angry unnecessarily, not appreciating my kind intentions.

Oh, you greedy bastard.

Did he think I was looking at someone else? To think he believed I had feelings for Thompson.

“Mitchell. You know, right? That I like women. Why would I like a guy? Talk sense.”

I proudly declared what kind of person I am. Even though I strongly emphasized that I had absolutely no ulterior motives towards Thompson, Mitchell squeezed my chest painfully hard.

“Ow.”

“I’m a guy too, you know?”

When I kept pushing his arm away, Mitchell finally loosened his grip. His hand moved from my chest to below my stomach.

“You? Come on, you’re different. You’re just Mitchell. You can’t be compared. You’re different.”

“How am I different?”

“Huh? Um. You’re just different… How should I explain this?”

I genuinely didn’t know how to answer the question and scratched my head. It felt like I’d received an absurd question you’d only encounter on Yahoo Answers. I was a citizen lacking the expertise to find an appropriate answer.

While just watching Mitchell’s reaction, I tickled the back of his hand as if scratching it. It was an unconscious action, and I didn’t even notice until Mitchell’s hand twitched.

“Anyway, you’re different. More importantly, you need to stay by my side for life.”

“Do I have to stay only by your side?”

“No, you can go around freely. I’ll stick to you like a leech. Just don’t deliberately shake me off.”

I grinned, showing my teeth playfully. Feeling that wasn’t enough, I lunged at Mitchell’s chest. As I buried my head and hugged him, Mitchell’s body stiffened.

“Just let me stay close.”

Mitchell’s firm chest lost its endurance. Because he couldn’t properly hide his heart, I could hear its loud beating even in my ears.

I pressed my face against that part of Mitchell that seemed uncharacteristically weak and hugged him tighter.

If Mitchell is weak, I can help him. I could embrace even Mitchell’s weaknesses.

“I can do anything for you. So, no weird thoughts, no weird misunderstandings, okay? When it comes to men, you’re the only one for me. When it comes to men.”

Mitchell sneered at my serious words. He just gently touched my nape without saying anything.

It seemed like his anger had subsided, but maybe not.

When words can’t resolve things, the only option is to connect physically. I hugged Mitchell tighter and buried my face in his embrace.

***

Mitchell is a world-class actor. There are many actors who act well. But it’s rare to find a cheat-level actor with strikingly handsome looks, perfect physical conditions, an eye for selecting projects, unstoppable luck with money and awards, and overflowing luck of all kinds.

Plus, he’s well-endowed down there!

Anyway, it seemed like the enormous blessings that should have been distributed among tens of thousands of people were concentrated on just one person. After creating such a perfect human, God must have thought, “Oops.”

Maybe that’s why God made Mitchell gay?

To prevent another person inheriting the genes of such a human from appearing and disrupting the ecosystem.

Of course, Mitchell has a story of being adopted as a child, but he seemed to be getting along well with his adoptive parents even now.

The Cronenwirth family was a wealthy family as influential as actor Mitchell. They ran a world-renowned corporation while also heavily investing in real estate. Jokingly, it was said that half of the land in the eastern United States was owned by the Cronenwirths, that’s how wealthy they were.

They also had impressive connections. They were remarkable people in a different sense from Mitchell. His adoptive parents, lacking nothing materially or emotionally, gave Mitchell complete love.

The same goes for his siblings who became family after the adoption. All six siblings, including Mitchell, adored him. Moreover, like Mitchell, they had all achieved much in their respective fields.

The eldest brother was expanding their IT company globally with their parents, while the second and third brothers had started a small e-commerce business that was now a listed company raking in money. It was growing into a giant corporation rivaling the largest online shopping mall in the US.

Add to that a sister running a large clothing business in France, and a younger brother who’s been a famous painter in California for 7 years.

Among these impressive family members, there’s no sign of Mitchell being alienated, no matter how hard you look. Even a quick glance at family-related articles or videos made this clear.

Their eyes were full of love and pride when talking about Mitchell. They must be the most ideal family, tightly bonded by wealth, fame, and affection for each other.

These were facts I naturally learned while investigating Mitchell. Because the Cronenwirth family was so famous, this information wasn’t hard to obtain. Every time I learned more about Mitchell and his family, my heart inexplicably warmed.

There was no information about Mitchell’s biological parents. They might feel regretful seeing how well Mitchell turned out. If they’re still alive, that is.

I guessed that Mitchell’s emotional issues were due to a past lover. Maybe an unwanted breakup or falling for a straight man. There are countless potential love failure stories.

Our Mitchell, who had been loved by the entire nation since he was a child actor, must have been deeply hurt when he couldn’t receive the emotions he wanted. He probably tasted the bitterness of life for the first time through love.

Mitchell, raised like a flower in a greenhouse, couldn’t endure it, and as a result, began craving affection indiscriminately – something like that.

I, who knows everything about Mitchell, am 99% certain!

So I asked:

“You’re not going to date anyone in the future, right?”

I casually asked while watering the front yard grass. Mitchell joined me on this sunny day after a long time.

“Date?”

“Yeah.”

Mitchell had ended things cleanly with most of his ex-lovers, and that was quite a while ago. There had been no news of him dating recently.

It wouldn’t be right to the other person to take up all of their time as a lover while keeping them as a backdrop. When someone like Mitchell, who lacks affection, gets a lover, it becomes difficult for both parties. I wonder if that’s why he hasn’t had a lover for a long time.

It’s all speculation, but it seems plausible.

“I’m not sure?”

Mitchell lifted the hem of my shorts. The shorts I’m wearing now are so short they barely cover my butt, and they’re so wide that even lifting them a little shows my buttocks. They were shorts cum underwear that Mitchell bought. Of course, I wasn’t wearing anything on top.

“You’re not sure? You mean you might? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t? Didn’t you say you couldn’t because of me?”

He was blatantly teasing me as I watered the grass in the front yard. He just kept lifting my shorts, regardless of whether I got excited or not.

“Did I say that? I don’t remember.”

Standing a step behind me, Mitchell looked at my buttocks while holding up the shorts. These shorts show the buttocks just by lifting the hem.

The shorts Mitchell gave me were really dangerous.

Of course, if I didn’t like the shorts, I wouldn’t have worn them in the first place. They were so well-ventilated and made of high-quality cotton that I couldn’t not wear them because they were incredibly comfortable.

“You shouldn’t get a lover. It would be hard for the other person. How many people can stand by waiting for you all day?”

Only me.

With one buttock exposed, I tried to speak calmly while spraying water with the hose. A small rainbow appeared over the falling water.

“Huh? Wait a minute…”

As I was nodding to myself, a strange question suddenly occurred to me.

“You like men, don’t you? But why have you only dated women so far?”

“I didn’t date them because I loved them. I dated them because I liked them as friends. They knew that too.”

“Ah.”

“I didn’t play with people’s feelings or do anything bad. They were the ones who suggested it first. Of course, I did my best as a lover. I gave them everything they wanted.”

“Even if you did your best, you still broke up in the end. Who suggested breaking up?”

“It was a relationship that started with a set time period from the beginning. A contract relationship.”

I puffed out my cheeks at the words that it wasn’t ended unilaterally by one side. When I increased the water pressure and sprayed hard, my chest felt suddenly clear. I hadn’t even realized how stuffy I had felt until then. Whether it was the weak water pressure or the people around Mitchell, I didn’t know the exact reason.

“I envy your lovers.”

That was the only thing I was certain of.
