As Jeonggwan opened the front door, an unfamiliar car caught his eye. Junjae usually drove only black cars, but today he came in a low-bodied dirty beige car. For a moment, Jeonggwan thought it might not be Junjae’s car, but in this alley, the only shiny and obviously expensive car could only be Junjae’s. Jeonggwan came to the front of the car and looked it over. Although he knew nothing about car brands, it was the prettiest among all of Junjae’s cars he had seen.

“Do you like the car?”

Seeing Jeonggwan’s eyes sparkle, Junjae asked with an amused voice as he got out of the driver’s seat.

“…Wow.”

Jeonggwan looked up at Junjae, saying “Hyung!” but a gasp escaped involuntarily. An incredibly beautiful person was standing in front of Jeonggwan, even more stunning than the car.

“Ah… Do I look strange?”

“…No? You look amazing…”

Junjae, wearing a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and jeans, with his hair down, awkwardly ran his hand through his hair as he looked at Jeonggwan. But that gesture completely captivated Jeonggwan. Junjae, who usually looked formal even in casual clothes, now had the perfect boyfriend look. All sorts of fantasies exploded in Jeonggwan’s mind. First love senior, tsundere senior, a kind but distant senior who suddenly confesses while doing a group project together, and so on. Every possible senior fantasy burst forth.

“Hyung…”

“…Yes?”

“Is my nose bleeding…?”

Jeonggwan, who had been staring blankly at Junjae, felt something running from his nose and quickly wiped it. Fortunately, it was clear with no red tinge. However, Junjae, startled thinking Jeonggwan’s nose was bleeding, immediately ran to him.

“Are you bleeding?”

“Wait…”

Seeing Junjae up close was even more harmful to his heart. With the strawberry jam scent wafting, it was really dangerous. Jeonggwan’s heart started pounding furiously. Thinking that it wouldn’t be strange if he died of cardiac arrest right now, being so smitten, Junjae even wiped Jeonggwan’s nose with his hand, confirmed it was just mucus, and laughed. You’re really determined to kill me, Won Junjae. Jeonggwan closed his eyes tightly and gently pushed against Junjae’s chest with his hand.

“Hyung… Please step back for a moment.”

“Hm? Why?”

“My heart… My heart hurts.”

“Let’s go to the hospital.”

“No… It’s not like that…”

Hm? Junjae looked at Jeonggwan’s complexion with a worried face, and Jeonggwan’s face was very red. Jeonggwan thought he had built immunity to this face, but he was clearly still very shy.

“It’s because I like you too much…”

“…”

Junjae’s eyes softened as he looked down at Jeonggwan, who was squirming as he spoke. At first, he was very surprised to see Jeonggwan wearing overalls that he himself hadn’t worn even as a young child, but seeing him act shy like a child made him look just like a cartoon character and was very cute. He understood what people meant when they said they wanted to put someone in their pocket.

“Me too. I like you too much.”

Junjae hugged Jeonggwan tightly. Honestly, when he first saw Jeonggwan, he thought his arms might not be enough to hug such an omega, but now it wasn’t like that at all. He couldn’t express in words how lovable and cute Jeonggwan was, filling his arms like this. Junjae kissed Jeonggwan’s head while still hugging him.

“But… Do I look too childish? Should I go change clothes?”

Jeonggwan felt a bit anxious as Junjae found him cute. This feels like an uncle doting on his nephew moment… He wondered if he had dressed too childishly. It was supposed to be a big night and he should have looked sexy, but he hadn’t thought that far. Jeonggwan lamented his mistake and tried to separate from Junjae, looking ready to go change clothes.

“It’s okay. I have pajamas at home.”

“…Am I staying over?”

“…You’re staying over.”

However, Junjae hugged Jeonggwan again. The overalls were quite troublesome, but that wasn’t a problem. Junjae didn’t want to be apart from Jeonggwan for even a second from this moment on.

* * *

“Hyung. Let go.”

“…No.”

“It’s hot. Aren’t you watching this?”

“…I am watching.”

Junjae was really like a leech. How did he manage to hold back skinship until now? Jeonggwan looked at Junjae with an expression of complete incomprehension. Up until they entered Junjae’s house with hearts fluttering, Jeonggwan had also been holding Junjae’s hand tightly. But after changing into the pajamas Junjae gave him, eating together, and even watching a movie in the house’s private VOD room, Jeonggwan was getting a bit tired of Junjae, who hadn’t left his side for a single moment, sticking to him like a koala.

Even usually, when they met, Junjae would try not to let go of Jeonggwan’s hand or arm, but coming to a place without others’ eyes, the degree was severely excessive. Jeonggwan tried to think, “It’s his first relationship, so it could be like this,” but,

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

“…Go.”

“Ah, really…!”

It seemed like he was about to follow him to the bathroom, hugging him from behind. Jeonggwan burst out laughing, “Pfft-,” as if in disbelief, and peeled Junjae off. Even then, Junjae immediately grabbed both of Jeonggwan’s arms tightly, as if afraid he might really leave. Jeonggwan jokingly opened his mouth.

“Hyung, you’re really a chi…!”

Jeonggwan’s mouth stopped just as he was about to say, “You’re really lacking affection?!” Wait a minute, this really seems like a lack of affection.

“Not a child…”

When joking with Jihoon about lacking affection, he hadn’t thought anything of it, but saying it outright to Junjae, who might really be lacking affection, seemed like it could be hurtful. So Jeonggwan changed direction mid-sentence.

“…I’m sorry.”

However, Junjae seemed to quickly realize what Jeonggwan was about to say. His grip on Jeonggwan’s arms loosened. Then he stepped back a step from Jeonggwan. Seeing this, Jeonggwan felt an intense pang and was about to grab Junjae again to say it was okay. But he thought it would be better to provide an answer rather than just soothing him to get out of the immediate situation.

“Don’t be sorry. I like holding hands and hugging you too.”

“…”

“But if you follow me to the bathroom, how am I supposed to fart secretly?”

“…Here,”

“I’m not going anywhere. Don’t be anxious.”

“…”

Hm? Jeonggwan looked up at Junjae and smiled. Then life returned to Junjae’s eyes, which had been a bit dejected, and he nodded slightly towards Jeonggwan. Jeonggwan nodded back and got up from the sofa. He almost burst out laughing at Junjae’s head rising to follow him.

Entering the bathroom, Jeonggwan couldn’t stop smiling. People often say that big, cute guys are like large dogs, and he felt like he really understood what they meant now. Junjae following him around was so cute he wanted to film it, but he couldn’t indulge it completely. Especially if, like Junjae, he got anxious when separated from Jeonggwan for even a moment or attached meaning to every word Jeonggwan said.

Jeonggwan’s heart ached seeing Junjae apologize for everything he said. He didn’t know how Junjae had been abused as a child, but seeing how sensitive he was about matters related to his father, it seemed like he was still afraid of his father even at 32. When he was with Jeonggwan and his father called, he wouldn’t answer, but even after the ringing stopped, Junjae’s attention remained on the phone for a long time. It felt like he was still bound by his father’s shadow, and because of that, Junjae’s self seemed unable to mature further. That’s why he flinched or felt anxious at everything Jeonggwan said.

Therefore, Jeonggwan wanted to alleviate Junjae’s anxiety. He wanted to give Junjae trust. Trust that even if they’re far apart or separated, he would always come back to him, so there’s no need to be anxious.

“Hyung. Shall we eat strawber… Mmph.”

Coming out of the bathroom, Jeonggwan was about to ask Junjae if he wanted to eat the strawberries they had bought before coming to his house, opening the VOD room door. However, Junjae, who Jeonggwan thought would be sitting on the sofa inside the room, was standing right in front of the door, and as soon as Jeonggwan opened it, he kissed him.

As Junjae cupped Jeonggwan’s cheeks and bent down to kiss him, Jeonggwan also reached out his arms to embrace Junjae’s neck. Tall Junjae had to bend his body almost in half to match Jeonggwan’s height for the kiss, and from behind, it might have looked like Jeonggwan was being devoured.

With Junjae exploring his mouth in a slightly different, more erotic way than usual, Jeonggwan’s mind filled with red. If this continues, my first experience will start right now. Then my baldie…!

“Hyung. L-let’s eat strawberries… Okay?”

Jeonggwan, who wasn’t mentally prepared for revealing his ‘baldie’ yet, urgently spoke to calm Junjae down. He felt he needed at least an hour to calm down and prepare himself mentally. However, Junjae attacked Jeonggwan’s lips again.

Then, in that state, he lifted Jeonggwan up in his arms. Jeonggwan, who hadn’t been held like this by anyone except when he was very young, was startled and almost lost his balance, but Junjae, who had been working out even more intensely since meeting Jeonggwan, held him firmly with both arms. Junjae slightly parted his lips and whispered softly.

“…Later.”
