HIT THE BLOCK! SERIES
status: ongoing
summary: It seems as if the group can't catch a break; from having those five seconds of fame, to illegal money lendings to financial issues and now... they're studio is destroyed! Someone is out to get them and they're going to make sure that they'll get those bastards, along with making a name for themselves again... by signing a contract to become ballet teachers? Oh boy, how they've officially lost it.
or in other words..
a group of unprofessional dancers tries to manage a ballet class... who would've thought that it will somehow backfires?
⢠pairing: nct 127! x fem! reader(s)
(each member would have their own love interest so it's not poly)
⢠genre: street dance AU, crack, fluff, cheating, slight angst, toxic friendships, alcohol, swearing, smut (MINORS DNI)
inspired from the movie 'street dance' but VERY loosely based on it.
THE OPENING:
Life always had its ups and downs. It took Lee Taeyong through hell for him to understand. He was reckless and frankly, impulsive. He often thought things ideally, not thinking of the consequences. Afterall, he was only a teenage boy looking for a dream. Moving out when he was barely the legal age, ready to make those dreams come through. Little did he know, that he would make one of the most life-changing decision when he decided to audition to one of the most shittiest companies known to man-kind. Partly an exaggeration, but he would be lying if he said he liked being there.
Moon Taeil had dealt with hard decisions in his life. Leaving university to pursue his passion, not knowing if it would backfire on him.
Newsflash: It totally did!
But he was no quitter, an obstacle perhaps. Taeil tries to be a positive thinker. Practically having his life fall apart, from catching his cheating girlfriend, to blindly following Taeyong in a path to their new journey; consist of illegal gambling, unnecessary fights and late night smoking sessions. But hey, it was better than that shithole. Those nights where he would drink away into total abyss, forgetting about his shitty ex. Indeed, he is no quitter!
Years and years had passed by, Johnny Suh watched people come and go. Those eight years of experience taught him a valueable lesson. People are only temporary and he was not gonna take the chance to warm up to anyone anymore. He was officially done with that shit. You'd think those eight years would've given him some patience but Johnny is having none of it. Of course, it's no suprise for the hot-headed man to not hesitate to curse out his instructor before walking off, following suit with a group of people who share the same frustation: FUCK THIS!
In contrary, Kim Doyoung was the complete opposite. A little too patient for his liking, he hated that he held in most of his emotions. His pride was stronger though, more determined to prove those fuckers that he can take their mistreatment. Even when Johnny had practically forced him to stand up to himself, he refused to stoop low. Well, guess we'll see how tolerable he can get before it all blows up. And it's gonna be hell when it gets to that point.
Did I mention that he was a patient man?
Yuta Nakamoto has always had a flirty exterior. That was when he wanted something he knew he could get. Deep down, he was a master manipulator (of course, for a good cause). He knows his charms and it doesn't hurt to have a little fun with it. It becomes a little too tiring when it becomes easy, Yuta wasn't one to favour something being handed to him in a silver spoon. He wants to fight for it. He wants to have that taste of glory and satisfaction to a challenge. He is a hardworker, if you'd ask me.
Studying abroad, Jung Jaehyun wonders if he had made the right choice. He is a handsome man and a handsome man can make someone disregard their intelligence. He really did wonder if becoming a dancer would strip away his self-worth. The company practically set him up to be this hunky dude with no brains. Girls fawning and drooling on the floor over him. He hated that his job scope included fan service: AND HE'S NOT EVEN AN IDOL. Maybe one day, he'll show them that he is way more than his looks.
Dong Sicheng is hated by all. It's funny considering that it's not like he wanted to be here in the first place. In fact, that thought never crossed his mind until his friend encouraged him to, telling him he needed to let loose for once. He was semi-glad that his friend had pushed him into this path, but he wasn't so sure if he actually wanted it. Barely given the chance for the try-outs and yet was accepted pretty quickly. Maybe that's why he had so many issues with his steps, maybe then, he wouldn't have to deal with the constant insults thrown his way. Oh well, guess he'll have to try harder next time!
Kim Jungwoo was set up to fail. Or so he thinks. He's quite a pessimistic though, it might come as a shock considering his bubbly personality. A replacement, is what he felt. That small chance of recognition is purely by luck and it was very evident from the way everyone seemed to have these look of envy in their eyes. Even when he felt that shred of success, everyone seems to claw it all up and tear it down, giving him nothing but disappointment. Maybe he is a failure, afterall.
Fame comes in easy for some people, Mark Lee is one of those people. The people where other people think that they don't work hard for their position. When in reality, people like Mark are pouring their blood, sweat and tears for it. But in human's selfish nature, they always assume the worst of others. Mark Lee was never an exception and he had to live down to it. Fuck the fact he moved all across states to come here, fuck the fact that he spent nine hours training which, mind you: when he was only sixteen and fuck the fact that he had been hospitalised for weeks because of it. Who cares?
And last but not least, Lee Donghyuckâthough would recommend to call him Haechan, youngest of them all. The mood-maker, they say. The jokester is what people think of him. It's not like he minded, until it became too much. He hated that people never took him seriously because of that. Even when he shifted his entire personality, everyone would crack a smile and told him to stop being a wimp. He was more than that too, you know. Well, at least his friends took him seriously and that was enough for him.
No thanks to the company, the group managed to uphold a greater offer for themselves than that shithole ever will. But they couldn't take the full credit, at least the shitty building did something right by bringing them together in the first place. The only thing they did right.
chapter i.
more chapters coming soon...

Because of his bloodline and his parentsâ friends, Jeongin had only wizard friends during his childhood. Once at Hogwarts, however, they were all sorted into different houses and he ended up alone in Gryffindor. It wasnât a problem for him and they still spent time together at first. But his friends spent more and more time with their housemates until one day, they finally didnât have time for each other anymore. By that time, he found someone else too though. He met one of his prefects, Chan, who took him under his wings during the first month he arrived.
Jeongin already knew a lot about Hogwarts and the courses, he knew what facultative courses he would take the second he would have the chance but since his parents didnât like the Frog Choir, they never talked about it. Therefore, when he first saw the students on his very first day, singing all together with frogs, he was amazed. Will his toad ever croak as beautifully? Cause yeah, he believed his toad had to be part of it to be able to join the Frog Choir and he never dared to ask Chan about it.
He tried for many months to harmonize with Froakie, but all he did was ignoring his owner or after a while, croaking so violently it was like he was telling him to shut up. He realized that, maybe, the problem didnât come from his toad but from him. And so he exercised his voice to make it sound more pleasant to hear perhaps. He would know if it was enough when his toad would accept to harmonize with him, he figured. Jeongin practised for almost 2 years and during summer before his 3rd year, he was seated in the garden of his house with his toad, enjoying the sun. He mindlessly sang one of his favorite songs and to his surprise, Froakie croaked in rhythm with him. It became one of his happiest moments.
The second day of his 3rd year, he asked his charms teacher if he could pass the audition to join the Frog Choir. He easily passed it and was excited to start. When he found Chan revising in their common room, he directly told him.
âChan! Youâll never know what I just did.â
The older one lifted his head up from the potions book he was reading with a smile. âLet me guess. You just had your first muggle studies lesson of the year and itâs fascinating?â
He never really knew about the muggle world so he meant to take it since his first year and he knew it would rapidly become one of his favorite classes.
âWell yeah, I did, but thatâs not it.â
âWhat could you be more excited about if not that?â Chan was really curious now while Jeongin nervously played with the hem of his sleeve.
âThe Frog Choir.â
Chan was confused because Jeongin never mentioned it before. âWhat about it?â
âI auditioned and got in.â
Chanâs face lit up. He was genuinely pleased to hear that his friend got to enjoy singing. âNo way! Iâm so happy for you Jeongin. You know whoâs apart of it?â
Jeonginâs eyes widened a bit. â⌠No?â
Mark, a fellow Gryffindor and Quidditch player that was passing by, took part in the conversation. âThereâs my 2nd year friend Chenle, his best friend and Yunho from my year.â
Oh, Chenleâs best friend. You.
âYeah and Jaehyun too. Thanks, Mark.â
The boy smiled and left the common room. Jeongin grew nervous. As if reading his mind, Chan tried to make him feel better.
âEverythingâs going to be okay, I promise!â He wished it would.
(ăŁââĄâ)㣠âż
The next day, when he entered the Great Hall filled with older and younger students chatting, seated on the benches or up on the platform, all excited to be in the choir this year as well, he felt great.
You saw him approach the platform hesitantly, he didnât seem to be friends with anyone in particular.
âOh, isnât that Jeongin from Gryffindor?â asked Chenle next to you. You smiled unconsciously.
âYeah, we should go talk to him.â
âYouâre right, he looks kinda lost,â Chenle smiled.
You got up from one of the benches and joined him.
âHey,â you greeted as you tapped his shoulder, âwhat are you doing here?â
âIââ he coughed but quickly regained composure. âI passed the audition to be part of the Frog Choir.â
âOh, thatâs amazing!â you exclaimed, maybe a bit too enthusiastically, and Chenle looked apologetic for your behavior. When you realized, you nudged him and smiled innocently at Jeongin, who couldnât stop his cheeks from heating up.Â
The professor, who was also the charms and music professor, entered the Great Hall and all the whispers faded away. You turned to watch him get closer.
âHello dear students. Welcome to the new ones and welcome back to the old ones.â A loud cheer followed his words and Jeongin felt like he knew he would enjoy this class.
He eventually had to present himself, like everyone else and when he did, he spoke in a small voice, showing Froakie, snuggled in his small hands. Everyone had sympathetic smiles and he heard two or three older people saying he was cute. You found him really cute too, but you kept it to yourself.
When you had to present yourself, you were at ease, knowing almost everyone already. âIâm Y/N, third year in the choir, and I got Yggorf with me, like always.â
The professor explained what he explained every year, to teach the rules to the new ones and remind them to those who were there the years before. While he talked, you were humming discreetly and mindlessly. Jeongin wasnât far from you and it made him happy and relaxed to hear your voice, he found it soothing.
âHey, can I ask you where Yggorf comes from?â he whispered as he got closer to you.
âJust Froggy backwards. I know, I put so much thought on this,â you laughed quietly.
Jeongin suddenly remembered the first time he saw you, the night all of the first year students were sorted, his first night ever in the castle. When you got called by a tall and intimidating professor to sit on the chair in front of everyone, you were a bit anxious. You were just eleven and you didnât really know who you were exactly yet nor in which house you would be put. The professor put the Sorting Hat on your head and it took its time but finally, shouted âSlytherin!â. You smiled and joined your housemates. Jeongin, already seated at the Gryffindor table, gently clapped his hands until an older Gryffindor glared at him. He realized the only ones who clapped were the same house students but couldnât comprehend why he couldnât be happy for every new student. And so, he kept clapping quietly for everyone else (and kept doing that every year).
You quickly found a friend, though. Chenle was a bit weird but adorable. You went to see him in your common room after your first day because you thought he was funny in class and he offered you to play gobstones with him. Since, you play together at least four times a week.
Jeongin and Froakie enjoyed every practice, Jeongin because he could spend time with his new friends and Froakie because he was hanging with other toads and frogs. You suspected Froakie and your own toad, Yggorf, to be friends as well cause they were almost glued to each other every chance they got.
Jeongin realized Chenle didnât bring any toads to practice though.
âHey Chenle, you donât have a frog?â
âNo, I have a rat.â
âOh, but youâre in the frog choir anyway?â Jeonginâs face screamed confusion.
âYeah of course, donât tell me you thought you absolutely needed a frog to joinâ oh. Is that why you only joined this year?â Jeongin nodded. âOh.â
âItâs alright, at least Froakie made me work on myself so I donât regret it.â Maybe, just maybe, if he didnât work on himself, tried out for the Frog Choir in his first year and didnât get in, he wouldnât have tried again and this moment wouldnât exist.
âIâm glad to hear that, because you have quite the skill.â
âThanks, you ainât bad yourself.â
Chenle thanked Jeongin and both smiled at each other before going back to practice.
Jeongin and you had classes together, like care of magical creatures. He was really passionate about it and cared about them a lot. He took the subject so seriously that he knew almost everything there was to know about every creature you learned about. It made him the best in this class and you admired him for that.
Jeongin often talked to you about muggle studies. You didnât take that course because you were a halfblood and already knew everything you needed to know. Every time Jeongin had a question, he went to you in the halls or after classes to know the answer, not able to wait for the next muggle studies class to ask the professor herself or even ask Chan, a muggleborn. Chenle kept telling you it was because he wouldnât miss a chance to spend time with you.
Since you started talking, you spent time with each other every chance you got, practice, shared classes, after class, weekends⌠Jeongin had now found friends he was never going to let go of. You were happy to spend time with him, he was really cute and charming.
Chenle was feeling like third wheeling but he didnât mind, he just wanted his friends to date and be happy.
(ăŁââĄâ)㣠âż
âJeongin, weâve been friends for months now, and I know I can trust you.â
âOkayâŚ?â
âIâm going to be straightforward. Do you like Y/N?â
Jeongin was out with Chenle, walking on the school grounds while you were at the library, finishing a mortally boring history of magic homework. His cheeks heated up at the mention of your name followed by the word âlikeâ.
âWhat? Of course I like them, weâre friends,â he tried while nervously playing with his hands.
âI mean more than friends,â he innocently smiled.
âIââ Jeongin gulped. âI donât know. I could. Or not. I mean, theyâre cute. And smart. Passionate too. Alsoââ
âSo, no feelings, huh?â Chenle laughed at his friendâs rambling and gave him a tap on the shoulder.
You joined them soon after and found Jeongin acting weirdly. You didnât question it, he was definitely adorable.
Obviously, Jeongin wasnât indifferent to your charm, he liked you since your first year but never dared to talk to you. Still, he needed to understand his feelings better, to at least know if it was friendship or love. He needed to talk about it with Chan. Jeongin went to the Gryffindor common room to find him and he was alone on the couch.
âChan, I need you.â
âWhy that serious tone?â
âItâs about Y/N.â
âChenleâs best friend? What about them?â
Jeongin sat next to his older friend on the comfortable couch. âTheyâre more than that, Chan. How do you know you like someone?â
Chan smiled fondly at the thought of his lover. They had been together for around two months now. âWell, you always want to spend time with the person. Youâre happy just to see them smile, you look up to them and are whipped for them. Like you could do anything for them in a heartbeat. These kinds of things.â
âI guess I really like them, then.â He looked down, lost in thought âof you, naturally.
âCool! When are you going to tell them?â
âWait, I need to know if they feel the same way now,â Jeongin put a hand up, pouting lightly.
Chan smiled. âWhat if they end up asking you first?â
âI would be relieved, not going to lie. Because it would mean they like me too, and I wouldnât have to worry about saying the right things,â he explained.
âOur Jeonginnieâs in love~â Chan chanted excitedly.
âStop!â Jeongin whined.
(ăŁââĄâ)㣠âż
âChenle!â you called your friend who was doing his history homework on an armchair in the common room.
âYes, Y/N??â
âDid Jeongin ever talk to you about me?â
He put down his quill and glared you in the eye as you sat next to him, looking at him questionably. âDid you finally understand you have feelings for him?â
You recoiled in your seat. âWhat? Noââ
âDonât lie to me Y/N, Iâm your best friend.â
âWhy would you ask a question you already know the answer of, then?â you pouted.
âTo see if youâre ready for that talk.â
You sighed. âI hate you.â
âNo you donât,â he winked, then wrote one last sentence to his parchment before tidying up his stuff. âSo. I talked to him about you and let me tell you that boy is WHIPPED. Canât blame him, youâre cute.â
âThanks⌠wait, he likes me too??â
Ignoring you, he went on with his plan. âNow, the question is⌠will you ask him out?â
âWait, am I ready for that? Iâm only thirteen!â
âTrue, but weâre not talking about marriage nor kids yet⌠just a romantic relationship with kisses and hugs.â
âYou seem to have thought about all this a lotâŚâ
âIâve waited for this talk for months now,â he sighed tiredly.
âShouldnât we ask Changbin about love? No offense, but he might know more about the subject.â
âOf course, go ask him. Heâs by the fireplace.â You turned around and saw Changbin on the couch, seemingly revising a charms spell. You walked up to him.
âHey Changbin, can I ask you a question?â
He looked up at you with a smile. âHey, isnât that my favorite Slytherin? Green really looks good on you, Y/N.â You giggled, Changbin was really nice to the younger students but you knew it was a Changbin trait, not a prefect one.
âYou said I was your favorite Slytherin yesterday!â shouted Chenle, pouting. Changbin laughed while you pulled your tongue out in his direction.
âSit, tell me everything,â he said as he patted the place next to him.
âWell, itâs a matter of love.â
âOh, love. Arenât you a bit young to be thinking about that?â
âMaybe, but I just needed your advice. I like Jeongin, and I donât really know how to tell him.â Actually, he just heard from Minho, who heard it from Jisung, who heard it from Chan that Jeongin liked you.
âJeongin, you say? Heâs one of my friends. My little finger told me he likes you too, you can go and ask him. As for how, why not propose him to go at Madam Puddifoot's tea shop? It's perfect for dates.â
âThank you so much Changbin, youâre the best!â You hugged him tight and returned to your best friend, a big smile on your face.
âShould I remind you that you told me I was the best this very morning?â
âYouâre both the best for different reasons. Like, youâre my best friend and heâs my best prefect.â
âIâll let it pass,â he said, not without rolling his eyes.
(ăŁââĄâ)㣠âż
After charms class, you stopped Jeongin to ask him something while Chenle left in a hurry.
âWould you, maybe, come with me at Madam Pudifootâs tea shop tomorrow at 4:30pm?â
Jeongin went silent for a few seconds, processing what he had just heard. It sounded like you were asking him on a date, because the tea shop was known for couple dates. He was confused but his face lit up and he agreed vividly.Â
âCool, itâs a date. I have to go to Hogsmeade now but Iâll see you later,â you explained and got out of class, Jeongin behind you. A date? His stomach was doing things he didnât think were possible.
âWant me to come with you?â
âNo! I mean, no need, Iâm going with Chenle already. Why donât you practice the banishing charm we just learned?â
âIââ But you were already out of sight, finding Chenle and going to Hogsmeade together. You didnât mean to be rude, you just couldnât take him with you for this.
âI did it. He said yes.â Your smile said it all about how you were feeling and Chenle was pondering what reaction was best, smile or laugh.
âYouâre brave, Iâm proud of you. As expected, he likes you very much.â Your cheeks burned and you didnât talk until you were at Hogsmeade.
âIâll get him cauldron cakes, he said he liked those a few weeks ago,â Chenle said before entering Honeydukes.
âRight. Iâll see what I can find in Gladrags Wizardwear.â You entered the shop as well, searching for accessories. Pretty matching bracelets were disposed of on a shelf and you immediately felt like they were the one. Paying 6 galleons, you asked the owner to wrap one of the bracelets in a lovely gift wrap.
When you found Chenle outside of Honeydukes, he chuckled at the bracelet on your wrist. âYou really know how to win a boyâs heart.â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean??â You looked offended but he just giggled.
Meanwhile, Jeongin went to see Hyunjin for advice. He found him on the pitch and watched the Gryffindor Quidditch team practice.
âHyunjin!â he called as the older one came out of the changing room.
âJeongin, hey.â
âY/N just asked me! On a date!â He excitedly jumped around.
âOh my god, thatâs amazing!â he high fived his friend. âWhen is it planned?â
âTomorrow.â
The older raised an eyebrow. âBut thatâs your birthday?â
âI havenât told them that⌠By the way, right after that, they said they had to go to Hogsmeade with Chenle and insisted I donât tag along,â he pouted, looking down.
âJeongin, donât you think that, perhaps, they also need time to prepare?â
âRight, of course. Can you help me with that?â
âGet ready, I wonât repeat myself,â he said with a smile, throwing his arm on Jeongin's shoulders, walking together to the school.
(ăŁââĄâ)㣠âż
The big day had arrived, you were waiting at a table next to the window, playing with your new bracelet. Jeongin entered the shop, spotted you and sat in front of you. Madam Puddifoot came taking the order and left just as fast. It was awkward at first, neither of you being totally comfortable with the date thing. Jeongin decided to act as usual, not wanting to be weird and following his older friendâs advice diligently.
It soon was as if you did this your whole life. You chatted like you always did.
Your tea was almost completely drunk. You took the gift you bought the day before out of your pocket and put it on the table, next to Jeonginâs cup of tea.
âWhat is this?â he asked, surprised.
âYour gift. Happy birthday,â you smiled contently.
He was delighted you would ask him on a date the day of his birthday but receiving a gift from you? He was nearly overwhelmed by happiness. âHow did you know?â he enquired while opening it.
You shrugged. âI asked Changbin.â
âWoah, itâs really beautiful!â Jeonginâs eyes were sparkling, examining the bracelet. âSo pretty. Thank you so much, Y/N.â
âMy pleasure. Let me put it on your wrist.â As you did, his eyes fell on your own wrist and his eyes broadened.
âDid you get us matching bracelets?â You acquiesced shyly. âThis is the best gift Iâve ever received.â
He took your hands in his and you stayed like that for a few minutes, until someone from another table sneezed.
âRegarding us, what I know is that I really like you. I want to hold hands with you, hug you whenever you need and be there for you. If youâre okay with that, then would you be my boyfriend?â
âIâd be the happiest, Y/N. Just spending time with you makes me so happy.â
You kept the heart eyes for each other and the rest of the date went smoothly.
The moment you set foot on the entrance hall, Chenle ran to you and started screaming when he saw your intertwined fingers.
He clapped his hands and congratulated you both. He then wished a happy birthday to Jeongin and gave him his gift.
âOh Chenle, thank you so much! I adore those.â
Chenle winked at you and smiled brightly.
(ăŁââĄâ)㣠âż
âHey Chan, I just saw Jeongin and Y/N passing by, wearing each otherâs ties. Isnât that cute?â
âIt really is. I would have loved to try it too but my significant other is also a Gryffindor,â he shrugged, smiling.
âThatâs right. My best friend is also a Slytherin, so we canât do it either,â Changbin sighed.
âYou still didnât make your move?â
âThey like someone elseâŚâ
âOh, it sucks. Stay strong, my friend.â
âYouâre really good at pep talk,â Changbin said sarcastically. âI canât believe your house is in first position âfor nowâ for the Quidditch cup.â
âWatch us win it,â he smugly said with a wink.

something sweet, a peach tree (mark/jaehyun)
Mark begins the summer after his junior year with an unpaid internship and no other plans. But when he agrees to go pick his baby niece up from her music lessons, her teacher, Jeong Jaehyun, catches his eye. Too bad heâs off limits, and not just because Markâs niece is involved. Jaehyun is 41 to Markâs 20.
To sate his curiosity about older men, Mark decides to look into becoming a sugar baby. He could use the money, after all. And he seems to find a willing patron right away. But for the first time in Markâs like, he finds he might be in over his head.
Chapter 7  |  prev   next   mlist
Characters:Â Mark, Jaehyun, other members of nct throughout
Genre:Â romance, angst, smut, age gap, sugar daddy!au
Pairing:Â Mark/Jaehyun
Warnings:Â AGE GAP (older jaehyun, younger mark), semi-public sex/voyeurism
Rating:Â Explicit
Length:Â 7.9k
James schedules his trip with Annie as planned, so from Saturday morning to Sunday evening, Mark will have his hands full looking after Lucy. Jaehyun offers to pick some dinner up for them and then come get him from work on Friday so they can have a nice night in together, which Mark happily accepts.
Heâs staunchly repressing the weird feelings from last week, but unfortunately they donât just go nowhere. The, uh, other feelings heâs had for Jaehyun since the beginning remain, and compound now with everything else channeling into one avenue. Heâs been, like, obnoxiously horny for the better part of this week, maybe also because he and Jaehyun only fucked once, that Saturday afternoon, last weekend. Anyway, heâs very glad Jaehyun suggested this, because he doesnât want to deal with that when heâs supposed to be babysitting his niece.Â
So he already has a plan when he gets into Jaehyunâs car that afternoon. And it helps that Jaehyunâs in a plain white tank top and soft shorts that ride up his thighs. How could Mark be expected to resist?Â
He waits until theyâre a respectable distance away from his office building. He slips his hand over the console to rest innocently on Jaehyunâs exposed thigh. If Jaehyun suspects anything, he doesnât react. Itâs only when Markâs fingers inch closer and closer to where Jaehyunâs cock is lying soft under the fabric of his shorts that Jaehyun raises an eyebrow at him and asks, calmly, âCan I help you?â
Mark glances at him. âJust missed you, thatâs all. Been missing you all week,â he says. âI can stop if you want.â
Jaehyun presses his lips together, clearly trying and failing to hide his amusement. âI didnât say that.â
Mark wraps his hand around Jaehyunâs cock and squeezes. Jaehyun inhales sharply but doesnât even blink. âGood.â He begins to stroke, slow so the fabric doesnât chafe. âJust keep driving, hyung. Iâll take care of you. See if you can make it home.â
âFuck, Mark,â Jaehyun mutters, but he keeps his eyes on the road.
It takes a few blocks before Mark feels a wet patch of precome leak through the fabric under his fingers. âYouâre making such a mess, hyung,â he teases, but Jaehyun just makes a soft noise and bucks his hips up into Markâs palm. âDo you want it faster?â
âMm-hm,â Jaehyun hums tightly. Mark smirks to himself, even though heâs getting hard, too, just watching Jaehyun.
âI dunno if you can make it home,â he says, speeding up his hand anyway. âI know you, you donât come unless youâre with me, so youâre all pent up, right?â Jaehyun's silence is answer enough. âYouâre already so hard.â And he is, hard and hot, the heat of it obvious even through his shorts.Â
Theyâre out of the city now, heading up a hill towards Jaehyunâs neighborhood. Mark keeps stroking, even when Jaehyunâs hands start to tremble at the wheel. Thereâs less danger of them crashing here, which Mark is vaguely anxious about somewhere in the back of his brain. If they need to stop, they can just stop. Theyâre the only people on the road now that theyâre out of the downtown traffic.Â
âClose, baby, âm close,â Jaehyun warns softly.
âWeâre only a couple blocks away,â Mark teases, but heâs now made it his mission to make Jaehyun come in his pants. He leans closer, pressing his lips to Jaehyunâs bare shoulder. Jaehyun shivers. âSo pretty, hyung. Itâs almost worse if you come now than when we were in traffic downtown. What if one of your neighbors sees?â The streets are empty and quiet, but Mark watches the idea bloom in Jaehyunâs mind and send shivers down his back.Â
âFuck,â Jaehyun grits out, slowing for a stop sign. Mark can tell he kind of wants to just blast right through it, but Jaehyun is responsible, so he stops. And he doesnât go. His grip on the wheel tightens. He bends over himself, panting, forehead grazing the top of the steering wheel, abdomen working helplessly, and then he comes with a broken cry, spilling hot release in his pants.
Mark strokes him through it, humming encouragement, until heâs empty. Some of the come has leaked through the fabric; Mark brings his hand to his mouth to clean it off.
âJesus Christ,â Jaehyun mutters, finally easing his foot off the brake.Â
âAlmost!â Mark says cheerfully.
âYouâre literally evil,â Jaehyun replies, voice hoarse.Â
âWhat, youâre saying you didnât like it?â Mark asks, only a little worried that he really didnât.
Jaehyun gives him an exasperated look, but thereâs a fondness underneath it that he canât mask. âIâm not saying that,â he grumbles as he pulls into his driveway, and Mark laughs.
Jaehyun leaves Mark to set up their dinner out on the patio while he goes to find a change of clothes. It does amuse Mark endlessly, but it hasnât done anything to ease his own troubles. Even though it takes a good few minutes for Jaehyun to join him, Markâs slacks still feel tight by the time he sits down at the table. Hopefully, his behavior will earn him some form of retaliation after theyâre done eating.
But Jaehyun returns to the patio calm and poised, and they have a completely respectable dinner. They take a dip in the pool after, but Jaehyun keeps himself politely out of Markâs reach. Confused now and a little intrigued, Mark lets him play his game, wondering what his end goal is.
âYou know,â Jaehyun says, as he pulls himself up out of the water. âI still havenât seen your place. Still think the doorman is spying for your brother?â
âOh,â Mark says, a little startled. He supposes now is as good a time as anyâitâll be far less suspicious for Jaehyun to stay for an hour or two than overnight, and normally they wouldnât want to waste the time. But since Jaehyun has to take Mark back tonight anyway, itâs more worth it. And the summerâs going to be over soon, and Mark canât bring Jaehyun back when his friends move in. He thinks about his apartment, the places he could fuck Jaehyun. In front of the windows, if they kept the lights off. It would be better than Jaehyunâs car or backyard. Right up against the door, where anyone walking by would hear them. In Markâs bed, where he came thinking of Jaehyun just the night before. âItâs, um, itâs a little messy,â he warns, which is true.
âWe donât have to,â Jaehyun says. Heâs honest; thereâs a touch of uncertainty under his tone that Mark takes to mean heâs afraid of making Mark uncomfortable. Itâs sweet. âI just⌠wanted to see. More of you.â
Mark smiles, feeling pleased and a little shy. âOkay,â he agrees, clambering out of the pool and accepting the towel Jaehyun offers him.Â
They get dried off. Jaehyun lets the dogs out while Mark sneaks upstairs to steal some comfy clothes for the car ride home, then returns to the kitchen to clean up their dishes and file them neatly into the dishwasher. Their forks go in the second-to-back section of the utensil organizer. Mark knows Jaehyunâs system better than his own.
âThose my sweats?â Jaehyun asks when he joins Mark in the entryway.
âMm,â Mark confirms without raising his head, intent on lacing his shoes. âDidnât feel like putting my work pants back on.â
âJust checking,â Jaehyun replies, the smile clear in his voice even though Mark canât see it. âReady?â
âYeah.â Mark follows Jaehyun out the garage door.
Itâs early, still, the sun not even dipping low enough to cast a golden shine over the street. Itâs thinking about setting, though; the days are getting shorter, and Mark knows that soon the world will be night-dark at this time. But for now, the light is bright and clear and catches in Jaehyunâs hair. Mark watches him as he drives, wondering when heâll start to grey. He wants to see it. He thinks heâd like it.Â
Jaehyun doesnât touch him. Mark half-expected him to; maybe it was wishful, horny thinking. Jaehyun has a lot more restraint than Mark does, and heâs more creative in his patience. Simple retaliation isnât really his style. Mark shouldâve known that, but he still feels disappointed and, as a result, hopelessly turned on as they accelerate on the expressway.
The sun glitters over the lake, sparkling off buildings. Little boats dot the water; Mark thinks he spots a long, skinny rowing shell on the far side near the shore, trailing a little coachâs launch. Wakes from the bigger pleasure yachts streak white on blue.
âSummerâs almost gone,â he says quietly.Â
âSchool soon,â Jaehyun agrees. âThink youâre ready?â
For school? Certainly. For everything else? Mark looks at Jaehyun out of the corner of his eye. He hasnât said anything to make Mark think heâll be done with him once classes start up, but they both know itâll be different. âKinda,â Mark says. âItâs my last year, and then⌠I dunno.â
âYou have a while to think about it,â Jaehyun says sympathetically.
Mark doesnât want to think about it. He wants to fuck Jaehyun âtil theyâre both sore and aching and boneless in their exhaustion and Mark doesnât have the energy to even imagine tomorrow, or the next hour, let alone next year. If he doesnât think about it, maybe it wonât come. Itâs not an elegant solution, but it is a satisfying one. For now.
âMm,â he says instead.
âGraduating can be scary.â Jaehyunâs tone is still sweet, placating. âI was scared.â
âIâm not,â Mark says. âIâm not scared of graduating. I just donât like the not knowing. Itâs like when I was waiting for my college decisions. I knew Iâd get in somewhere. But I didnât know where. It didnât scare me. It just sat under my skin, like, I dunno. An itch I couldnât reach.â
âWell, donât rush into the future too fast,â Jaehyun says. He turns onto Markâs street. âYouâll miss this time before you know it.â
Iâm missing it already, Mark thinks. Thatâs the problem. Heâs gearing up to say goodbye, and he almost wishes it was already all over, so he could grieve it in peace, with undivided attention.Â
Jaehyun pulls into a guest parking spot. Mark gathers his things. They head into the lobby. No one bats an eye.Â
âYou said your friendâs parents own the building?â Jaehyun asks.
âYeah, no way Iâd afford it otherwise,â Mark replies. âA studio in the city with a nice view? Forget student loans, Iâd be in debt to management well into my next life.â
Jaehyun laughs. âCould get yourself a real sugar daddy to pay it off.â
âShut up,â Mark mutters, his skin hot.
He unlocks his apartment, letting Jaehyun in and re-locking it behind them. Jaehyun politely ignores the pile of laundry on one chair and the crumbs on the counter, instead strolling over to the windows to admire the view. âBeautiful windows. You can see the Space Needle!â
âCan fuck you up against them later, when it gets dark,â Mark offers, grinning when Jaehyun flashes him a mildly scandalized look. âWhat?â
âIs that what you think about when you look out them?â
âLately, yeah,â Mark says with an offensively casual shrug, tossing his slacks onto the laundry chair. âBed?â
âNot gonna give me a tour?â Jaehyun asks, a sort of glint in his eye that tells Mark his retaliation has finally come.
âYouâre standing in the foyer, kitchen, living room, and laundry all at once,â Mark says drily. âBathroom is behind that door and my bed is in the corner with a curtain over the opening, which is the only reason this isnât also the bedroom. Câmon, hyung, we both know you didnât come here just to see how I live.â
âBut I do want to see.â Jaehyun flops down on the couch, still looking around.Â
âIâm drawing the shades, then,â Mark says, moving to the windows. âSunâs about to get real annoying, anyway. We can open them back up again when itâs setting.â
Jaehyun doesnât protest, just watches Mark turn on his strip of neon lights and tug the blackout curtains closed. The room turns deep blue with the sun gone, light enough still to see, but dark enough that Mark has to blink a couple times to get his eyes to adjust.Â
He grabs a pillow off the couch, throwing it on the floor between Jaehyunâs feet, and goes to pull his own pants off.Â
âNo,â Jaehyun says, âleave them on. I donât want to be the only one who comes in his pants.â
âThese are your pants,â Mark points out.
âMm,â Jaehyun hums, watching him get on his knees anyway. âSo Iâll think of you when I wear them.â
âOh.â Markâs whole body feels weak suddenly. He runs his hands up Jaehyunâs bare thighs, slipping them under his shorts till he hits his underwear. He kisses his left kneecap. âOkay.â
He finally reaches up and tugs Jaehyunâs pants and underwear down. Jaehyun doesnât help him, doesnât touch him, just watches placidly while Mark frees his cock from the fabric and scoots as close as he can, tops of his thighs brushing the bottom of the couch. Mark blinks up at him, maybe for show, maybe to spur him into some kind of action, but Jaehyun is a wall. Before it can turn into a staring contest that Mark will surely lose, he dips his head and wraps his lips around the tip of Jaehyunâs cock.
Jaehyun starts soft, but hardens quickly under Markâs touch. Itâs enough gratification for a little drop of smugness to settle in with Markâs growing desperation. Because Mark is hard, has been half-hard basically since they first pulled into Jaehyunâs garage. He takes Jaehyun down to the base until heâs choking, and pulls off wetly. Jaehyunâs hips twitch, but his hands remain impassively at his sides. Mark whimpers softly, pressing his tongue to Jaehyunâs slit, licking up the beading precome, hoping to elicit some reaction for all his hard work. Jaehyun lifts his hand to Markâs hair, but he doesnât pull. His touch is featherlight, combing through, carefully and slowly working the tangles loose, letting the minutes pass.
But itâs something. Mark bobs his head enthusiastically, humming when Jaehyun gives the tiniest thrust up to meet him. Mark presses his nose to Jaehyunâs pubic bone, breathes in deep. Maybe itâs gross, but he likes the musky, heady scent there, a familiar comfort. He can barely feel the press of Jaehyunâs cock on the back of his throat, or maybe he can feel it but it just doesnât matter. He swallows around it once, twice, breathes out. A shudder passes through Jaehyunâs body; Mark readjusts his grip on his thighs as pulls off slowly, then pushes back down, keeping his cheeks hollowed. He does it again, and again, keeping his pace even, not fast, but not slow, either. Jaehyun trembles, huffing out tiny moans that make Markâs head swim. Heâs throbbing in his pants, but he canât get a hand down to reach himself, and he has a feeling Jaehyun doesnât want him to, anyway.Â
âMark,â Jaehyun whispers, and goes still. Come hits the roof of Markâs mouth, and Mark realizes, as he lets out a long, trembling breath, that there are tears stinging in his eyes.
Mark swallows all of it down, only pulling off once Jaehyun starts to go soft again in his mouth. He pushes Jaehyunâs tank up to kiss his stomach, tucks him back into his pants, then gets onto unsteady feet.Â
âThink the sunâs past the horizon now?â he asks hoarsely, keeping his tone casual.
âOne way to find out,â Jaehyun replies, equally casual, pushing himself off the couch.
Mark goes to the kitchen to fill up two glasses of water for them, leaving Jaehyun to pull the shades back. The sun is, in fact, below the horizon now, and itâs painted the whole city a brilliant orange. It washes over the vinyl flooring, turning gray to gold. Jaehyun pads over from the far wall, quiet.
Mark passes one of the waters to him when heâs close enough, taking a sip of the other one. Jaehyun sidles up next to him, facing away from the windows, leaning back against the counter. The dying light shines golden around his silhouette like a full-body halo. He reaches out with his free hand, gets a grip of Markâs hip and pulls him close.Â
Mark grins and kisses him. He hears the clink of the water glass against the counter, and then feels Jaehyunâs other hand on his jaw, his cheek. The hand on his hip shifts center, and lower. Jaehyun cups his cock and gives it a soft squeeze. Mark stutters a moan into his mouth, quiet and whispery. The counter is high enough that no one could see exactly where Jaehyunâs hand is, but one look at their position and the salacious pinch of Markâs brow would say enough. Then again, no oneâs really looking. The next building is far enough away that it doesnât matter.Â
âNo underwear?â Jaehyun asks.
âAccidentally took them off with my slacks,â Mark explains impatiently. âToo lazy to put them back on.â He kisses Jaehyun again, really kisses him, pushes his tongue in so he can run it over Jaehyunâs teeth, the points of his canines.Â
Jaehyun lets him lick into his mouth, breathing out soft moans of encouragement, but he makes Mark chase his hand instead of just giving him what he wants.Â
âHyung,â Mark mumbles against Jaehyunâs lips, rolling his hips forward into his palm. âMore.â
Jaehyun, infuriatingly, keeps his touch light. âCouldâve made me crash today,â he says.
âYou wouldâve stopped me, before,â Mark replies through gritted teeth. It feels so, so good, to finally have Jaehyunâs hands on him, but itâs not enough. He thinks he might cry, rocking his hips forward even though Jaehyun just follows the movement. He knocks his forehead against Jaehyunâs shoulder and lets Jaehyun pet soothing circles into his spine.
âItâs too bad we canât actually do something like that, like really in public,â Jaehyun muses. âToo risky. But itâs fun to think about, isnât it?â
Mark can only groan. He imagines them out at dinner, dressed up so fancy, Markâs hands in Jaehyunâs lap as they eat. Jaehyun frozen with his fork and knife still in his white-knuckled hands as he comes in his expensive dress pants. The unmistakable stain when he stands.Â
Jaehyun takes a firmer grip of Mark through his (Jaehyunâs) sweats. Mark keens softly, letting his mouth drop open and his teeth scrape harmlessly against Jaehyunâs skin, right next to the fabric of his tank top. Mark realizes suddenly that heâs still holding his water, as a drop sloshes over the rim and hits his thumb, but he canât bring his arm down, canât move at all, can only rut hopelessly into Jaehyunâs hand.Â
âWhatâre you thinking about, baby boy?â Jaehyunâs voice is pitched low, the rumble echoing in Markâs ears.Â
âWould make you come at dinner with my hands,â Mark pants out. He raises his head, hooks his chin over Jaehyunâs shoulder and stares out the window. He can just make out people moving around in the building across the street. Someone is cooking. A few floors down, people jog on treadmills. And in Markâs kitchen, in the apartment gifted to him by his friendâs parents, Mark humps an older manâs palm like a desperate teenager.
âAnd then?â Jaehyun prompts, and Mark remembers dizzily that he was in the middle of a fantasy.Â
âWhen we got up to leave, everyone could see the mess you made,â Mark continues. âAnd they would be able to see how hard I was, too. No hiding it. Oh, fuck.â Jaehyun wraps his hand around Mark, and even through the fabric Mark can feel the press of his fingertips, can feel Jaehyunâs thumb against his slit. âAnd then Iâd fuck you on the hood of your car, or maybe up against the side, in the parking lot.â He can see it, Jaehyunâs fingers sliding against the roof as Mark fucks into him, the car rocking gently with the force of it. Jaehyun weak-kneed and teary; they wouldnât have time for a lot of prep. Mark pounding into him as people walked by, uncaring. Jaehyun, dripping with Markâs come, covered in his own, driving them home. Or maybe they were out to lunch, and Jaehyun drives Mark back to school for his afternoon classes. He imagines waving bye through the passenger window, walking into class with his limbs still orgasm-loose.
âYou wanna fuck me where everyone can see?â Jaehyun presses.Â
âYeah,â Mark slurs. âWant people to see what I can do. How I make you feel. How Iâd only do it for you.â
âI want it, too,â Jaehyun murmurs. âGonna come?â
âUh-huh.â He slumps against Jaehyun, his free hand clutching at the back of Jaehyunâs neck to help hold himself up, shaking. He presses a hot, open-mouthed kiss to the top of Jaehyunâs shoulder as his hips thrust up into Jaehyunâs fist, the fabric of his sweats scratching and pulling with every movement. He locks onto a guy pacing in front of his window across the way, looking over the city with his phone to his ear. He doesnât see Mark, but Mark pretends he does, pretends he sees him draped over Jaehyun, eyes hazy, hips working behind the counter, Jaehyunâs arm moving in tandem.
He comes so hard he can barely hear himself moaning, his fingers digging into Jaehyunâs neck. âHyung, fuck, fuck, fuck, Jaehyun.â It spills out without Mark meaning for it to. His come is hot and sticky, trapped against his cock with nowhere to go. He feels himself sliding around against the fabric, which sends another crazy jolt of pleasure through his whole body. âOh, god,â he says weakly, hips twitching erratically. Jaehyun releases him and he bends over the sink, finally setting his water glass down with an unsteady hand. He blows out a hot breath; it fogs on the stainless steel.Â
Jaehyunâs voice bleeds amusement when he asks, âStill wanna fuck me against the windows after the sun goes down?â
âYes,â Mark spits out immediately. âFuck, hyung, I didnât even really think I was an exhibitionist before I met you.â
Jaehyun does laugh now, running a hand down Markâs back. âSometimes it depends on the partner,â he says. âMaybe youâve never had anyone you wanted to show off before me.â
His tone is playful, but it rings true. Mark wants to claim Jaehyun in front of everyone, wants him to be his and his only, forever, wants the whole world to know. âYeah, maybe,â he huffs quietly, standing up. âIâm gonna rinse off before these stick to me.â
When he comes out of the bathroom, shirtless, with a towel wrapped around his waist, Jaehyun is back on the couch watching the sunset. Mark goes to turn off the lights, plunging them into near-darkness, then joins him wordlessly, curling into his side.Â
âYour internship ends next week, right?â Jaehyun says. âAnd school isnât for another week after that?â Mark nods. âYâknow how we were talking about the peninsula? What if we spent the week out there?â
Mark sits up. âReally?â
âYeah,â Jaehyun says, like itâs no big deal. âI mean, I mightâve already booked the cabin. Sunday to Friday. Itâs okay if you canât make it, butââ
Mark kisses him, pins him against the couch and kisses him, smiling big against his lips. âYes,â he says when he pulls away. âLetâs go.â
âYou sure? You donât have plans with your friends?â Jaehyun asks.Â
âNah, theyâre not coming in until the weekend anyway. I can just move next weekend,â Mark says. âAnd itâll be nice. To spend the time with you, before I get super busy.â
âIf you,â Jaehyun ventures slowly. âYou know. If youâll be too busy with school, thatâs okay. I know neither of us really planned for this, soâŚâ
Mark shakes his head. âShut up,â he says. âI still wanna see you.â
âOkay.â Jaehyun still sounds uncertain, his eyes unreadable in the dying light. âJust, with all your classmates coming back and stuff, I thought maybe⌠I mean, if thereâs someoneâŚâ
âThereâs no one I want more than you,â Mark says. Heâs almost angry at him. Does Jaehyun think Mark could give him up that easily? Would it be easy for Jaehyun? He tries to make light of it, swallowing the weird tension before he can ruin such a nice night. âBesides, Princess and Bobby would miss me.â
Jaehyunâs lips quirk up at the corners. âAlright,â he says. âJust making sure.â
âYouâre stupid,â Mark says plainly, leaning in to kiss him again. Jaehyunâs laughter rumbles in his chest; he catches one of Markâs wrists in his hand and holds it between their bodies, trapping Mark at his side. Mark kisses him fervently, half climbing into his lap. The towel loosens and pools over his thighs, but it doesnât matter because the sun has sunk so far below the horizon itâs practically gone, leaving the sky with only a faint orange tinge. Mark likes this, tooâbeing naked when Jaehyun is still fully clothed. He rubs himself against Jaehyunâs stomach, the head of his cock bumping their hands.Â
âYouâre insatiable,â Jaehyun accuses softly. Thereâs no real accusation to it.
âYouâre the one whoâs gonna be coming for the third time this evening in just a little bit here,â Mark points out.
âYeah, and whose idea is that?â Jaehyun releases his wrist in favor of grabbing his hip. He pinches him lightly; it doesnât hurt, but Mark yelps all the same. Even in the darkness, Mark can see every careful line of Jaehyunâs smile. His heart hammers in his chest.Â
âYouâre pretty, hyung,â he says breathlessly, and Jaehyun rolls his eyes, tugging Mark into him, arms wrapped around his body.Â
âYou gotta stop calling me that. It isnât true.â Mark can picture the pink of the blush that heâs sure has risen to his cheeks. Itâs not doing much for Jaehyunâs argument.
âIâd never lie to you,â he says, earning himself a bone-crushing squeeze. He presses a noisy, tickle-y kiss to Jaehyunâs neck, then twists himself free so he can look out the windows.
The orange has faded from the sky. The stars are coming out and the moon hangs over the sliver of lake that Mark can see, its reflection rippling in the wake of the party boats.Â
âThink itâs dark enough?â Jaehyun asks.
âLetâs close the curtains a little bit,â Mark says. âLess light from the city. Then all people will see are two silhouettes. Theyâll look away pretty quick, and even if they donât, itâs not like theyâll see our faces.â
They pick the corner the half-faces the water, closing the curtains on the windows that face the other building and the rest of the street. Mark ducks into his room for lube. Jaehyun steps out of his shorts, tossing them over to the couch, and Mark returns to tug his shirt up over his head for him. Jaehyun splays a hand over Markâs stomach, and it strikes Mark then the comfort he has here. Heâs not extremely shy about his body, but he never feels comfortable just walking around topless, or pulling his shirt off when itâs hot out like so many of his friends seem perfectly content to do. Itâs not that heâs insecure about how he looks, itâs just a general sort of embarrassment at nudity. But not with Jaehyun. He wants Jaehyun to look, likes it when he touches him, skin against skin. Itâs not even really in a sexual wayâwell, not entirely, anyway.
Jaehyun leans in and kisses him. Mark throws his arms over Jaehyunâs shoulders and kisses back, pressing their bodies together. Jaehyunâs just a little bit taller than him, so his cock slides against Markâs stomach while Markâs brushes Jaehyunâs inner thigh. Theyâre both half-hard again, but neither of them move to do anything about it. They just kiss, body to body, soft skin against soft skin. Mark wants to touch Jaehyun everywhere. He wants to push his fingers against Jaehyunâs soft palate and run his thumbs over his teeth, he wants to open a seam in his belly and crawl insideâ
And it sounds insane, but all of this is insane. Heâs fucking his nieceâs fucking music teacher, whoâs just about double his age, whoâoh, Christ, who Mark actually really cares about, like maybe way too much. Who most certainly doesnât feel the same way back.Â
Mark bites Jaehyunâs lip, too hard. Maybe because heâs angry. Maybe because his heart hurts. Maybe because he wants Jaehyun to be his and this is the only way he can say it. With blood in his mouth.Â
Jaehyun, perfect Jaehyun, doesnât protest or push away. Jaehyun moans.Â
It makes Mark weak; he moans back, sweet and soft and low, swiping his tongue over the swollen lump heâs just made. âSorry,â he mutters.Â
Jaehyun just kisses him again. âItâs okay,â he says. âYou like it when I cry.â Another kiss. âHow do you want me?â
âFacing the window,â Mark says, trying not to say something else, something stupider.Â
Jaehyun presses himself to the glass, head turned so he can still see what Mark is doing. Mark pumps some lube onto his palm and then tosses the bottle aside, taking a small dollop of it onto his index finger and spreading it down to the last knuckle. Jaehyun sticks his ass out a little to make things easier, and Mark groans softly.Â
âYou look so slutty,â he comments.
Jaehyun tries to look put out, Mark thinks, but itâs not really working because his eyes are dark and unfocused. As much as this was Markâs idea, he can tell Jaehyun is enjoying it a lot. He grins to himself, pressing the finger against Jaehyunâs perineum, then pushing inside.
Jaehyunâs eyes flutter closed; he clenches around Mark, tight and hot. âJesus,â Mark mumbles, working his finger in to the base and giving Jaehyun a second to adjust before slowly pulling it back out again. âWish you could see yourself. But thatâs part of it, I guess. Everyone can see you but you."
Jaehyun gasps quietly, but he rocks his hips back to meet Markâs fingers. It softens something in Mark. For you, Jaehyun is saying. He wouldnât want this with anybody else. Mark wouldnât, either, he thinks.Â
He opens Jaehyun up pretty quick after that, too eager to get to the fucking to really drag it out. Besides, heâs tortured Jaehyun enough for one day with his antics in the car. Soon, heâs fumbling for the lube again to slick up his cock while Jaehyun catches his breath, fogging the window next to his mouth.
Mark pushes into him, gripping his hips with lube-wet hands, but it doesnât matter. Jaehyun makes fists against the glass, his cock dripping between his legs. Mark slips in deeper and leans forward to rest his forehead on Jaehyunâs spine. âHyung,â he manages. âGod, still so tight. Is it âcause youâre nervous?â
âMaybe a little,â Jaehyun says. âMostly turned on, though.â
âGood,â Mark says. He bottoms out, waits a beat, draws his hips back. Jaehyun is hot and wet around him, soft walls hugging his cock and making pleasure pool in Markâs belly. He thrusts in, jostling Jaehyun against the window. In the streets below, bar-goers mill about, waiting at stoplights, watching the moon over the water. Any of them could look up and see two bodies pressed to the glass, body heat making it steam up a little and blocking the view. Markâs next thrust is so hard itâs almost mean. He can hear Jaehyunâs teeth clack against each other, and does it again.Â
âBaby,â Jaehyun says, his breath coming in hiccups. Mark hums, kissing his vertebrae. He moves a hand around Jaehyunâs hips to jerk him off, and Jaehyun convulses beneath him. Heâs trying and failing to find some purchase on the smooth face of the window. His scrabbling makes something dark and jealous in Markâs heart bare its teeth.
âSo good, hyung,â he says against his skin. âAnyone who looks should thank you. Youâre like a fuckinâ wet dream, you know that?â Jaehyun makes a noise of protest, but it turns into a moan when Mark angles his hips just right. âFuck, yeah, right there?â He hits it again, and Jaehyun is noddingâMark canât see it, but he can feel it, the fervent bobbing of his head, the silent yesyesyes.Â
The world sort of stills around him. Or maybe Markâs mind just slows down. He listens to their bodies moving against each other, and the rapid beating of Jaehyunâs heart. He shifts his other hand up to the glass, crowding Jaehyun impossibly closer until heâs completely trapped, just enough room between his body and the window for Markâs fist, still stroking him in time with his thrusts. Mark pants openmouthed, the hot breath fanning back onto his cheeks after it hits Jaehyunâs skin. Pleasure sparks down his legs, making his knees shake, but he doesnât stop. Jaehyun is making noises that make part of Mark want to snap him in half and another part to wrap Jaehyun up in, like, fucking bubble wrap or something, Mark doesnât know, all he knows is everything feels good, even the way his knuckles bump against the glass, even the way his thighs are getting sore, andâ
âMark, Mark, gonna come,â Jaehyun warns, and Mark makes some kind of low, insane noise in his chest and speeds up. Jaehyun squeaks out something that sounds like oh, fuck, and then heâs shooting come over Markâs fingers and painting the glass with it. Mark lifts his head, craning his neck so he can see around Jaehyunâs body, can see his come dripping down toward the floor in a porn-perfect splatter.Â
It overwhelms him, and he canât even say anything before heâs coming, too, still thrusting unevenly into Jaehyunâs body. His come mixes with the lube, squelching a little, but even that is hot to Mark. He canât help the way his hips give little phantom twitches even after he tries to stop, still chasing the high as they both come down.
They stay like that, slumped against the window, Jaehyunâs release the crowning piece of evidence in their fucked up little crime scene. Mark knows itâs almost worse if people see them now, but he still doesnât care. Heâs bone-tired and deeply satisfied with himself. He doesnât even move when, after he pulls out, he hears his own release dripping out of Jaehyun and hitting his floors.Â
Itâs Jaehyun who finally peels them off the windows. Jaehyun who cleans up the come dripping down the glass, the spatters on the floor. Jaehyun who gets them in the shower, just enough to get the gross stuff off. Jaehyun who guides Mark to bed and tucks him in. He sits on the edge of the mattress, stroking Markâs hair while Mark battles sleep.Â
âIâll see you next Thursday at pickup,â Mark mumbles. âI have drinks with coworkers Friday and I need to finish moving Saturday, but I should be done before dinner. Weâre gonna head out Sunday morning?â
âMm-hm,â Jaehyun agrees. âNeed any help moving?â
âJames âs got me,â Mark replies. âItâs okay.â
âOkay.â Jaehyun leans over and kisses his forehead. âOkay if I just lock the bottom lock on my way out?â
âYeah,â Mark agrees.
âSleep well, baby.â Jaehyunâs voice moves farther away as he stands. âI already set your alarm.â
Thank you, Mark wants to say. But heâs so tired. He hears Jaehyun give a soft sigh of amusement. Another kiss to his forehead, to send him to sleep. Mark doesnât even hear Jaehyun close the door.
///
James comes to pick Mark up bright and early, but he has breakfast so Mark doesnât complain, just hops in the car, shoving his bag in the back.
âWhere are you taking Annie?â he asks, taking a bite of his ham and egg croissant.Â
âOver to Orcas Island,â James says. âBooked a nice hotel room, fancy dinner, you know. Weâre trying to catch the ten oâclock ferry, so weâll basically have to leave as soon as I drop you off.â
âHave fun,â Mark says around a mouthful of food.Â
Lucy is in high spirits when they arrive, giggling with glee over getting to have a sleepover with her Mark-samchon. She clings to Markâs leg as her parents finish packing up the car. Mark watches his brother and his sister-in-law, the easy way they have with each other. How Annie can hold her hand out and James knows to pass her his bag without a word. The way they donât bump into each other, not once, in the chaos of packing up their car because they know each other so well, know exactly where the other is at all times and what theyâll do next. Mark tries to imagine him and Jaehyun like this, years down the road, maybe with a child of their own. The image is fuzzy at best.Â
Because as much as he and Jaehyun play pretend, what they have isnât like this. No amount of blankets tucked securely around Markâs shoulders and kisses pressed to his forehead can change that. Mark is just a passing whim of Jaehyunâs. Jaehyun will, in time, find someone his age, someone more settled, more mature. The warmth of last night seeps away as his brotherâs life throws it into sharp contrast. At best, Mark will be a short, beautiful spring in the long years of Jaehyunâs life. Summer will burn through them and autumn will come. The leaves will change, and Jaehyun will have no more use for him. So thereâs no point in Mark trying to pursue anything more, because Jaehyun would say no, and even if he didnât right away, Mark knows eventually he wouldnât be enough for Jaehyun anymore.
And the worst part is, Mark knows Jaehyun would be right to say no. Because even if they could make it work somehow⌠then what? Mark probably wonât stay in Seattle, and he certainly canât settle down right away. Jaehyun wonât just wait for him. He shouldnât. Mark wouldnât let him, the same way Jaehyun wouldnât let Mark shape his life around their relationship.Â
He gets that terrible tugging feeling again, like heâs straining against the present. He knows itâs going to hurt when he and Jaehyun have to go their separate ways, and Mark almost wishes they could rush through goodbye so he could stop waiting for it, not knowing how bad it will be or how it will feel. Heâll be miserable, he knows, but at least heâll know where he stands. Itâs not like heâs not hurting now. He might as well get it all over with.
Jamesâ voice pulls him out of it. âWeâre gonna head out, okay? Just call if you need anything.â
âSure,â Mark agrees, still half in his own head. âHave fun!â
âBye!â Lucy calls, waving madly from the doorway until the car pulls out onto the street and disappears.Â
âWell,â Mark says after they close the door, trying to be present with her instead of drowning in his own head. âWhat dâyou wanna do?â
Lucy pulls him into an elaborate game of make believe, where Mark is an evil king and Lucy and her army of stuffed animals work together to take over his kingdom (the couch in the living room). It ends when Mark allows himself to be pulled to the floor and buried under piles of plush ponies and teddy bears, begging for mercy.Â
Lucy sits on Markâs stomach, grinning triumphantly.
âOof, Luce,â Mark groans, not really meaning it. âYouâre gonna be too big to sit on me pretty soon.â
âNot yet though,â she says pertly. âBut I wanna grow.â
âYeah?â Mark canât hide his amusement.
âYeah.â Lucy nods seriously, spreading her hand in front of Markâs face. âJaehyun-seonsaengnim says Iâll be big enough to play a real piano when I grow more. Iâm too small now. But soon.â
âI bet Jaehyun-seonsaengnim is right,â Mark says, regarding her little hand. âYouâre outgrowing that little keyboard. Itâll be a while before you can reach the pedals, though.â
âIâll make Appa press them,â she says, unconcerned. She tips her head. âYou and Jaehyun-seonsaengnim are good friends, right?â
Mark starts a little. âYeah, weâre good friends,â he agrees. âI like him. Heâs funny, right?â
Lucy nods. âHe thinks youâre funny, too,â she says. âHe always smiles when youâre there.â
Mark files that away for Jaehyun later. They better be careful, because it sounds like Lucy is picking up on some things. The last thing he needs is for James to hear from his baby girl that Mark and Jaehyun make eyes at each other every time Mark goes to pick her up.Â
Lucy has moved on, though; she stands with purpose, releasing him. âIâm hungry,â she says. âNoodles for dinner?â
The night passes uneventfully. Mark makes Lucy bunny-shaped mac and cheese and gives up on trying to explain that Annieâs is also a brand and doesnât have anything to do with her mom. They share a popsicle and watch cartoons until Lucyâs eyes are drooping, and Mark carts her off to the bathroom to brush her teeth and give her a quick bath before bed. Sheâs out like a light as soon as her head hits the pillow, and Mark goes back down to clean up the kitchen and then watch some TV until he gets sleepy too.
Around eleven, as Markâs just thinking about heading to bed, he gets a text from Jaehyun. He thinks about ignoring it, too sore and raw about the things that are breaking ground inside him, but he knows he canât punish Jaehyun for things that arenât his fault.Â
>>> How are things?
Good. Lucy didnât even complain about bedtime. <<<
I think sheâs onto us <<<
>>> uh oh. What do you mean?
sheâs noticed us joking around at pickup <<<
she asked if we were good friends <<<
>>> Good friends đ
Is that the first emoji youâve ever used in your life <<<
>>> Iâm not prehistoric, Mark
>>> so what did you say
yes <<<
hopefully not too nervously <<<
>>> Iâm sure itâs fine haha
>>> Iâll keep my distance next week just in case
Well, not too far I hope <<<
Mark pockets his phone and stands, stretching before he goes to put himself to bed. He tries to forget all the tough stuff for now, and lulls himself to sleep remembering the way he fucked Jaehyun against his windows. As far as lullabies go, itâs pretty shoddy, but Mark allows himself the bandaid.
The next morning, Lucy comes to wake him up so he can make them breakfast. They race to the kitchen and Mark asks if sheâs ever had chocolate chip pancakes. She shakes her head, shiny hair bouncing excitedly, and Mark considers for a moment the damage he may be inflicting on James and Annie before deciding he doesnât care because itâll make Lucy love him forever, and goes to get the flour.Â
Lucy settles at the breakfast bar while Mark mixes the batter so she can watch (and steal a few chocolate chips out of the bag, which Mark pretends not to see). âSo is it true you donât have a girlfriend?â she asks him as he beats the eggs. âOr boyfriend,â she amends, not-so-sneakily popping another chocolate chip in her mouth.
Mark gives a sort of sigh-laugh, reaching for the vanilla. âIâm too busy, silly! I have school and stuff soon, and then Iâm gonna have to look for a job.â
âBut,â Lucy protests. âAppa already married Eomma when he was your age.â
âWell,â Mark says patiently. He gets out the big cast-iron griddle and lays it across two burners, then turns the burners on. âYour appa finished school early. Careful of this griddle, âkay Luce? Itâs gonna get super hot and I donât want you to burn your hands. Itâll hurt for days and days.â Lucy nods seriously. âAnyway, my brother was lucky enough to meet his personâthatâs your eommaâwhen he was young. Not all of us are that lucky.â
âSo⌠you havenât found your person yet?â Lucy asks.
Mark thinks of Jaehyun. He shakes his head. âNot yet,â he says, spreading the batter for the first pancakes. âBut thatâs okay. I think I want to get my career started first, and then see what happens.â He plucks up the bag of chocolate chips before Lucyâs hand can inch any closer. âAnd donât think I donât see you, you little thief. Youâd eat the rest of this bag if I let you and then you wouldnât even get to try the pancakes!â
âNo I wouldnât!â Lucy protests, giggling, but she at least has the decency to look contrite. âI hope Iâm like you,â she continues, and Mark blinks. âI donât wanna get married early. I wanna be a musician like Jaehyun-seonsaengnim and go around the world!â
âI hope you do,â Mark says, smiling at her with genuine amusement.Â
When James and Annie get home that evening, they rescue Mark from, like, his twentieth round of Go, Fish. James sits with Mark in the living room, helping him clean up all the toys while Annie allows herself to be accosted by her daughter.
âDid she behave?â James asks.
âOh, yeah,â Mark says. âYou got a good kid, man. I may have introduced her to chocolate chip pancakes, though, so⌠sorry about that.â
Distantly, from the kitchen, they can hear Lucy asking Annie if they can have chocolate chip pancakes in the morning. James laughs to himself. âWell, that means I get to eat them, too, so Iâm not complaining. Ready to head home?â
âYeah.â Mark gathers his shit and says bye to Annie and Lucy before stepping out onto the porch. The sun is going down, and the heat is receding. Summer really is almost over, he thinks. It comes with a flash of unexpected anxiety.
He hops in the car and James joins him, pulling out onto the street. âAnnie was thrilled,â he says before Mark can even ask. âSo, thanks again.â
Mark nods. âI mean, I got to hang out with Lucy, so itâs no big deal, but Iâm glad it went well,â he replies. With a start, he realizes he still needs to tell James about his peninsula plans. âOh, I meant to tell you. Iâm gonna spend next week out on the peninsula, since my internship is over.â
âBy yourself?â James asks.
Mark makes a mental note to text Johnny. âYeah, I asked my friends, but no one was free. And I know I wonât have time once school starts, so.â
âJust be safe, okay? Momâd wring my fuckinâ neck if something happened to you,â James says. Mark nods, thinking about all the things Mom would wring both of their fuckinâ necks about if she knew.
âYeah, I know,â he says. âSorry for not mentioning it sooner, I just kept forgetting. Annieâll have to pick Lucy up from music lessons.â
âActually, I think her teacher is gonna be out of town that week, too,â James says, and Mark pretends like this information surprises him. âSo no music lessons. Good timing, really.â
âGood,â Mark says, turning to face the window so James canât try to read his expression. âThatâs good.â

cupid's mistake | tbz kim sunwoo
âNow thatâs a mistake that I can live with.â
âPAIRING Âť the boyz kim sunwoo x fem!reader (ft. nct's na jaemin) TROPE/AU Âť friends to lovers, non-idol au!, high school au! GENRE Âťâ THIS WAS SO FLUFFY UWU, but also add those angsts!!, SLIGHTLY suggestive (one makeout scene, sunwoo leaves kissing marks near your collarbones), love triangle...?, (kinda) slowwww burn, i love supportive and attentive sunwoo who gives so much love to the reader, MUTUAL PINING (they're both blind aye), sunwoo is an idiot because he PUSHES THE READER AWAY GRRR, clichĂŠ cause i live for this hehe, sunwoo babysits the reader's little bro (cutie sunwoo), sunwoo is the type to give the reader physical space because she's overwhelmed, reader blushing at sunwoo, a terrible attempt at comedy, oh...i think i'm in love with kim sunwoo again (i literally changed my bias to hyunjae like a month ago---) WORD COUNT Âť 13,061 (hi yes, izzy is entering her long wc era!!)â ESTIMATED READING TIME Âť i'm scared to put this down đ forgive me!! WARNINGS (lmk if i missed anything!) Âť suggestive!!, reader is a lightweight (not sure if this is a warning), reader uses alcohol to distract herself (sunwoo will come to the rescue tho!; of legal age), reader has a bad schema for men, incredibly fast proofread once
navi/masterlist!! đ¤ part of 'especially to you...'
hands down the hardest story i've EVER written (including my 40+ wips) and i stopped multiple times because it explores a huge part of my life that makes me super vulnerable. the internet may judge me after this but i'm going to stay strong for myself; they don't know what i've been through.
i'm glad that i have met idols who have at least helped my schema for men. mark lee, na jaemin, cho seungyoun (woodz), lee jaehyun (hyunjae) and kim sunwoo (sorry i was so harsh on you đ i'm very thankful for your existence no wonder what anyone else believes and thinks; and people can believe what they want to believe because i'm tired of trying to make them believe something else).
izzy...
if there is one internet trend (?) that you should take seriously, it's that: not all men are the same.
and you know that. you've seen it with your guy friends and the teachers that you were close to in high school. they're not like the ones who hurt you. i know you're scared and with what you've been through, i would like to at least believe that it's valid. i really hope that you keep going and keep fighting.
thank you for reading @heemingyu @mmoonbaee !! love our chaotic trio!! đĽ°
Youâve rejected Kim Sunwoo before.
Twice, apparently.
It left the rest of your friend group flabbergasted when they heard that you did something so incredible. When asked why you rejected the friend that has stuck with you since the beginning of your hellish high school days, the only response you gave them was a fake smile with your eyebrows knitted together and your eyes roaming around the room, avoiding the intense (and totally unnecessary) curiosity in their gaze.
The truth is that you really do see why people fall in love with Kim Sunwoo.
You agree with the fact that heâs a romantic person and would absolutely take care of his partner well. You can vouch for this with the number of times he almost faceplanted on the very non-slippery cement when he saw you on the other side of the road, excited to finally see his dearest best friend. You can confidently vouch for him when he stubbornly gives his favourite hoodie for you to use, not hesitating to make sure youâre warm even though he knows heâs going to be bedridden. You can brag about your best friendâs selfless personality, telling them how Sunwoo went out of his way to comfort you along the beach at night when you said you were feeling empty.
Out of everyone in the world, youâre the one who knows best that Sunwoo has always been a caring person. Like that time when you both finally became adults and he waited for his first sip of alcohol to be with you. Embarrassingly, youâre much more lightweight than you both thought but even though Sunwoo could barely balance his steps, that didnât stop him from giving you a piggyback ride walk to your house where he also really embarrassingly this time, actually faceplanted in front of your mother as he misses the step down the stairs when leaving.
So yes, you understand why people have massive heart eyes whenever heâs around.
But to you, heâs just your best friend. One that you hope would be there for you every step of the way even after you go on to the next chapters of your life.
The first confession was a quick one, a simple âHave you ever thought of dating me?â from Sunwoo and with a playful disgusted look, you simply respond with âEw, no way.â
But the second one is more serious for Sunwoo. His heart was beating so fast that it was strong enough to make his whole body fall onto the ground; maybe it wouldâve been better for the Earth to swallow him up so that heâd never have to face you ever again. He didnât know what took over him and where the sudden urge came from but he meant every single word that he saidâand the hues of red and pink on both his cheeks show his true feelings for you (which you missed).
But maybe Sunwoo overestimated how confident he could be around you because as soon as he sputtered âI like you. Should we start dating?â He saw the way your fingers stopped their aggressive tapping on the black squares of your keyboard, freezing and halting for a bit more before your shocked eyes met his nervous ones. Scared to ruin this perfect friendship that he already has with you, he backs out of his words, shaking his head and letting out his forceful rehearsed laugh that got you both kicked out of the library. Though the day could have been the start of something new, he still relished the way he managed to hear at least the rapid complaints fly out of your lips. Youâve been stressed out over the English essay that youâve been so distant, so at least even though you beat him in a game or rock-paper-scissors for food, the empty wallet that heâs left with after, filled the loneliness in his heart.
Gosh even when youâre mad, he finds you adorable.
But itâs been three years since the second confession and now three years after, Kim Sunwoo is still next to you. Call him a loserâa hopeless romanticâbut he would argue the term, telling the people around him that he has his reasons.
âWhat are we doing for Valentineâs Day?â
The question is not a weird one between you both. Maybe you shouldâve said the just-friends boy and girl version of âGalentineâs Dayâ or whatever the kids these days call it because Sunwooâs heartbeat would always spike at the mention of the coupleâs holiday. Heâs always spent the day with you and how could you refuse when he assures you that you can leave your wallet at home?
In truth, he just didnât want other people to take you out. He tried to fathom the image of you receiving that giant teddy bear, a heart-patterned bow around the neck and maybe the word âloveâ embroidered on its fluffy white tummy. The only smile in his head is yours and the date that is not him, and he couldnât help but notice the constricting muscle around his heart and the churning of his stomach.
Kim Sunwoo will always root for you. If your happiness is with someone else, then he wouldnât dare to take that away from you. He just wants to let you know his true feelings somedayâif he could.
Sunwoo swivels his chair around, a quiet hum gave out as an answer for now. He hasnât thought much about this year, his part-time job and full-time high school student occupying his thoughts a bit too much more than he would like. Usually, he would have a list of things to do but as responsibilities piled up, the wants decreased and with how youâre practically stuck with each other either way, he manages to check off most of the things in his places to go list.
Youâre unaware of the longing eyes that fixed upon you as you kept your eyes directed to the ceiling, phone raised above your eyes. You made yourself comfortable on Sunwooâs bed, his blanket going past your chest and covering your lower body from the blasting air conditioner. Your arms are getting a bit sore but you just want to know if the main characters in the drama would kiss sooâ
âAlright, thatâs enough internet for you today.â The device is snatched out of your hands, your arms cheering in relief as they plop down on the bouncy material. In refute to his actions, your back straightens but everything happened in a quick three-second interval that you didnât realise that Sunwoo was already bending down and your forehead collided with his. âOh my Goââ Sunwoo exclaims, his butt hitting the floor in surprise.
âServes you right!â You exclaim, begrudgingly rubbing the area with your palm. âWhy were you so close?!â
âI was telling you stuff but you werenât paying attention!â
âYou couldâve shouted it!â
âI called your name thrice?!â
âOh my God! Okay, what was it that you wanted to say?â
All words get stuck in his throat. Even though his head and bottom hurt with the two critical hits at the most unexpected time, he couldnât help but shy his face away with the way you blew the loose strand that blocks your vision, paired with the slight jut of your little lip as you turn your attention to him.
Sunwoo stutters, gulping when he sees your raised eyebrows from the corner of his eye. âU-Up to you.â Another gulp and wandering eyes, âIs there nothing you want to do?â
âOh but,â you recall the favour that your mum asked from yesterday. âMy mum asked if I could babysit my brother because she has plans already.â Heaving an apologetic sigh, feeling bad for letting Sunwoo down.
âHey no,â an idea comes to mind as he leisurely crosses his legs. âI love your brother! How about we just spend the day together with him?â
Your eyes narrow suspiciously to the comment he once made about kids, âI thought you said you hate kids.â
âNo, I said I hate those who are cuter than me.â
A scandalous gasp from you, âAre you calling my brother ugly?! Iâm telling him and my muââ
âNo!â Realising his mistake, he quickly untangles his legs and tackles you back down on the bed instantly, his bigger build toppling over yours easily. âThatâs not what I meant! He's an exception!â It's unclear whether his sobs are real or not at this point. âYour mum loves me! Donât do this to me!â
âGet off me, you stinky raccoon!â
The gym resonates with the squeaks of sixty-something shoes on its polished surface. The sound easily makes you squirm, hating that it screeches against your eardrums so violently. A chuckle is heard at the sight of the displeasure written on your face.
âVery annoying.â The honey-like voices your thoughts. âWould you like to borrow my headphones for a while?â
Instantly, youâre met with his popular gummy smile, the one that swoons everyone in your school. If people arenât swooning over your best friend, they most probably are falling for the man who made himself comfortable next to the gym steps where you sat. His features are nothing like Sunwooâs, softer and more approachable with the way his eyes sparkle even more with the help of the shine from above. Because this isnât sport class, he wears his everyday uniform, his collar is properly presented and not a single speck of ramen soup makes its mark on the annoyingly white cotton. Even with the physical exercise he did, he still looks dashing and neat, wondering how his messy hair still looks attractiveâbut then again, men with messy hair have always captivated your heart. Jaeminâs kind personality is the final cherry on top and with how you usually have conversations like these when heâs benched or having a break, youâre certainly one of the girls who is attracted to him in no time. Your brown eyes travel further down his dazzling smile, to the black headset on his open palm.
A wave from Na Jaemin to your dazed face pulls you back to reality and you nod wordlessly to the question before. Like the gentleman he is, Jaemin doesnât even ask you to turn to him but instead adjusts to your line of vision, slightly making the gap between the earpads bigger before resting the cushion perfectly for you. The way he did so was gentle, even tucking your hair strands behind your ear.
âBetter?â Another wordless nod. Jaemin lets out an airy chuckle at your pursed lips, moving back beside you. âHere for Sunwoo?â
âAnd to kill time, I suppose.â
Your eyes wander back to the boy whoâs working hard on the soccer field. Itâs a usual routine for you to wait for his weekly soccer training so that you both can walk home together. Usually at this time, your nose would be buried in your textbooks, catching up on the work you missed due to the lack of sleep from the previous night. Usually, as well, the practice would be outdoors, the same squeaky sound being non-existent, the same one that ripped you out of your focus since the start of the practice round.
The whistle blares and the coach shouts at the team for a five-minute break. Sunwoo stops his jogging, hands on his knees as he leans to catch his breath while the rest of the team sends encouraging slaps on his back to their dear captain. Sunwoo sends a playful one back to their buttcheeks, the rowdy group enjoying the little gap before they have to get back in the zone. But this is when Sunwooâs eyes fall upon his teammate and his best friend not too far away. His eyes soften at the way you just blink at Jaeminâs smile, betting that youâre not paying attention to a single thing that heâs saying. Unconsciously, he doesnât realise how his hands clenched at the growing redness on your cheeks but Sunwoo doesnât look away even when he walks to get his water bottle.
âOh.â Eric teasingly remarks. âThatâs not a good look, Sunwoo.â
âShut up.â He mumbles back to his closest teammate. Even though he forces his back on you, he canât help but steal obvious lovesick glances back.
âJaemin said heâs going to ask your dearest bestie out on a date for Valentine's.â
Sunwoo tries his best not to let the comment get to him. âWell, sheâs busy already.â
âWith you?â Eric questions his trailing voice. âThe guy she rejected?â
âShut up!â Sunwoo groans to the boy, swinging his arm around his neck for a headlock. âYouâre actually so annoying, Sohn. The whole cohort knows because of you!â
The poor boy begs for mercy, sending hits to his friendâs stomach. And Sunwoo does let go, poking his tongue out at the boy after. Overdramatically, Eric sends one back, calling mischievous names to the boy who is looking over to you once more. He couldnât force himself to look away from the vital information that Eric said. Without knowing, his feet stride over to you both, finally catching the words from Jaeminâs moving lips.
âCan I take you out on Valentineâs Day? Are you free?â
Sunwoo sees the gears turning in your head and he pleads that you would reject the offer, pleading that you didnât forget your words from last night. Heâs looking forward to the day, especially when he researched a bunch of things that your brother likes, combining with the things you like to make sure the day will be well spent. But the breath he takes stops at his throat when you just continue to stare at Jaemin with wide eyes. Sunwoo mightâve imagined it, but he swears he could see the corner of your lips rising, your head probably thinking of a fun, romantic date with Jaemin.
Itâs obvious to him even on the other side of the gym, that Cupid has shot his arrow.
âYeah.â
The answer didnât come from you, the response was too deep to be your timbre. The headphones did their job well, masking Sunwooâs steps and leaving you confused by the clear and loud answer he gave. Excited at the confirmation of your empty schedule, Sunwooâs heart churns at the way Jaemin excitedly holds your hands, turning your confused head tilt to him into another blushing one. Unfortunately, you were unable to say a word to any of the two boys, the coach beckoning everyone in the team over for the final part of their practice.
Faintly, you hear Jaemin saying that heâll contact you and that you can return his headphones tomorrow in class. You just watch the way Jaemin hops back to the rest of the team while Sunwoo follows closely behind, his shoulders slightly slumping as he drags his feet to make that noise you hate.
The walk home isnât as bad as you thought it would be. Sunwoo acts like the gym didnât happen and you raise your eyebrows at his suspicious actions of him walking slightly in front of you even though he still talks about the parts of the day when you werenât with him. With the slight gap, you observe the way his front bangs slump over his vision, covering his sullen eyes. The hands inside his pockets continue to tense and he tries his best to ignore the obvious crease between your eyebrows. He doesnât even question the short answers you came up with in his storytelling. Even now as you arrive at your front door, Sunwoo doesnât bring the topic up, choosing to send his usual smile and âsee you tomorrowâ.
But you refuse to let his actions go. âWhat was that all about back there?â
It puts Sunwooâs feet rooted to the ground and he feigns an innocent look. âYou know,â he starts now with a smirk on his face, âNa Jaemin could totally figure out that you have the biggest crush on him with the way you looked at him with those googly eyes of yours.â
âI do not have googly eyes when I look at Na Jaemin!â
âSure, you donât.â Rolling his eyes, âYou were close to drolling over him back there.â
You could tell that he was just avoiding the subject and prolonging touching it until you just let it go. âSunwoo.â The tone of your voice tells him that you're seriously looking for answers, âWhyâd you say that back there? I thought we were babysitting my brother together?â
âItâs fine.â He swats his hand in the air. âYou go have fun and Iâll look over the child myself.â
âBut Iââ
âCan you just stop complaining and go in? Iâm tired from practice.â Sunwoo cuts you off, turning the doorknob and pushing you in with small strength. âSee you tomorrow!â
He does close the door on your face, ignoring the inhale you take and walking away before you start rebutting his words. But with that, you also missed telling Sunwoo of your mum who stands leisurely behind him and when your mum greets him, Sunwoo gets the scare of his life, yelping and crouching to the floor, a hand over his chest.
âServes him right for cutting me off twice.â
At this time, you didnât realise the ache in your heart, too busy chuckling at his misery as your mum helped the poor boy before he disappeared out of your sight with multiple polite bows.
Now, Sunwoo is left to wallow in his stupidity. The devil in his head even shakes his head disapprovingly and the angel desperately tries to cheer him up, telling him that everything will be fine but it has no effect on the distraught boy. He lets out all the swear words that he knows, mumbling them to himself, criticising his past actions. A headache starts to form and he is unable to walk a straight line on the well-leveled road.
âYouâre an idiot, Kim Sunwoo.â
He replays the earlier scene. The way your eyes fall on Jaemin fondly, the way all words seem to be lost when he speaks to you and the way you freeze when Jaemin holds your hand in his. His feet stop dragging on the stone when he spots an ice cream truck and the sweet fragrance of your favourite flavour. Even with small things like this, he thinks of you.
He observes the two friends who approach the vehicle, recognising the uniform as the same as the ones he has on. Judging by the satisfaction on the girlâs face and the complaints of the boy, Sunwoo assumes that the shorter one probably won a bet or something. His mind wanders to you once more, the dynamic of his two underclassmen similar to the one he shares with you.
More calm and accepting that he has probably lost you to Na Jaemin, if asked why he still chooses to stick with you after two rejections, Kim Sunwoo can.
The fastest and simple answer is that you donât have a good schema for love. It was shattered the moment that you found out that your dad cheated on your mum four years ago. Your family fell apart shortly after your dad packed everything and left, leaving your mum alone as the sole parent when you were still trying to fully understand the world around you.
The rest of the world doesn't see how the separation affected you. However, Sunwoo was there during the times when you cried your eyes out, taking the frustrated punches on his chest, when you declared that you would never fall in love, scared of falling into the same fate as your mother especially when your dad has always voiced out that he loves his family and would always stay with them.
The world doesn't see how you hide behind his reassuring back whenever a male is too close for your liking. They don't see how you practically hold onto his arm with anxiety after a person confesses to you even though you're thankful that they look at you fondly. They don't see the fear in your eyes like Sunwoo has seen every single part of it.
When you would tease each other, like the time when he tackles you onto the bed, that's an exception. Sunwoo has always paid attention to your actions, both conscious and unconscious. He knows all about when you and when to keep his distance.
Thirty centimetres, sixty sometimes, and he would always wait for you to close the gap, stealing glances behind to make sure you were still following. Ninety-nine point nine per cent of the time, you would pick up your pace and Sunwoo would purposely slow down and the gap between the side of his arm and body would get bigger with each step you grow closer to him. When you clutch onto his arm again, he sends you that understanding gaze, mouthing a little 'hi' or 'hello' before facing forward again with newfound happiness.
The other point one is you asking if he could come back to stand beside you. But again, he would never ever touch you first and even when you arrive at your doorstep with no progress, Sunwoo would still look at you, reminding you of how proud he is and winks playfully to lift the corners of your lips before sending his 'see you tomorrow' still with happiness as his main aura.
It breaks Sunwooâs heart whenever he sees you like that. That's the reason why he took his second confession back.
So when Kim Sunwoo, selfless and rooting for your genuine happiness, sees the different gaze that you send Na Jaemin, he canât help but push his feelings aside. Plus, Na Jaemin is a good guy so he feels more reassured setting you up with the ace striker in the soccer team.
Cupid frowns down at the boy, his wings flapping sadly at the fake smile he puts on as he continues his walk home. Itâs strange how he found himself sad for the dejected boy.
âTruly an idiot you are, Kim Sunwoo.â
Back home, you rewarded yourself with a warm shower. Though your physical body was able to let loose under the light sprinkles, your eyes couldn't help but mix in the metallic water with your salty ones. The water pressure manages to swallow most of your cries but the mirror doesn't lie when you see your red eyes after.
The gulp you took is painfully dry, tired from the tears from earlier. Your reach for the bathrobe is slow, letting the air cool touch your slightly red skin after the temperature. âAt least he made it clear that he doesn't like me in that way.â
The knocks against the nearby room beckons a âCome in!â from you and you quickly run the sides of your fingers on your eyebags as soon as you register the young boy from the mirror.
âSis!â Dashing towards you, headbutting your back, âI heard Ddeonu hyung will be here tomorrow night!â
It's endearing to see how the news makes the little one jump, both his hands on your arm for support. A hand ruffles his already messy nest, âBe good tomorrow, okay?â
And the response morphs the smile upside down, âYouâre not gonna be with us?â
Overloading with cuteness, you couldn't help but swivel around on your vanity chair towards your sibling, your hands pressing his cheeks, âWith or without me, you're going to be with Sunwoo all day anyways!â Remembering all the times when he preferred to be in Sunwooâs arms over yours, âJust don't make the poor raccoon run around too much, okay? He's getting old.â
âDoes that mean he will fly to the cloud soon?â
âNo, no.â Making a mental note to tell Sunwoo and imagining the way his jaw would drop at the wild question, âHe's just old and tired now.â
Though confused at the repeated answer, the child seems to let it go, shrugging in satisfaction anyway at the plans for tomorrow. The smile upturned once more and you lift the boy much to his happiness, kicking his legs when you adjust his posture on your vanity table.
âMakeup!â He exclaimed about the objects around him, open palms to mimic a twinkling motion in the air.
âMakeup!â You echo, grabbing the cushion foundation. âDo you want to make me into a Princess?â
Obviously, he would not reject the offer, snatching the round object into his palm and patting the powder onto your neck.
âI'm going to make you the prettiest sister ever and raccoon hyung won't be able to take his eyes off you!â
Cupid shakes his head once more, his belly lying on the puffy cloud. He rests his chin on his palm, wondering how the similar-sized boy is more likable to him than the two blind adultsâbut it's obvious because he's not the stupid one.
âWell,â clicking his tongue on the roof of his mouth, âthis one is an idiot too.â
Leading up to Valentine's Day, you thought at the very least you could spend the missed day with Sunwoo but he's more than adamant about pushing you to Jaemin. Whenever he saw a window of opportunity, he would call the boy over, a big waving motion from his hand in the air.
Whenever Jaemin spots you, every part of his face lights up and yours is supposed to reciprocate the stars in his eyes. But how could you even see it when all you see is the whole universe in Sunwooâs ones instead?
The realisation that it has always been Sunwoo scares you and it terrifies you even more that the same boy who has always given his heart to you is making the gap between you both larger, further away, more and more within arms reach for your comfort. At first, it was confusion but then every part of your aching heart just longed for his presence beside yours once more.
Jaemin reminds you of the date one last time, the final text before you part ways at the school entrance is bolded, italicised and underlined. And Sunwoo? He intruded the house way earlier than everyone expected but judging from the open arms from your mother and the way you could hear your brotherâs shrieking from the other side of the house, it's obvious that youâre the only one whoâs dreading the early visitor.
Speaking of the visitor, your brother made himself comfortable by sitting on his neck, hands gripping his hair to make two little pigtails. Seeing Sunwoo fit right into your family from the very start has always been heartwarming and you would've told your brother to pull on two tails if you weren't busy avoiding his eyes from the mirror.
âLook!â Sunwoo gasps to your brother, finger pointing to you, âYour sister is so pretty, isn't she?â
And it became ten times harder to keep your tears from falling.
âThanks.â You managed to seeth out from gritted teeth.
âCome on! You're going to be late.â Reminding you of the long hand of the clock reaching the top of the circle when Jaemin promised to pick you up. âWhich bag are you using?â
It's heartbreaking to see him just walk past you after the compliment, whistling leisurely as he looks through the pile of bags on the side hook of your wardrobe. You found yourself looking down at your lap, trying to shake off the nervousness and anxiety in your mind. You try your best to focus on the tension of your gripping fists, letting go and repeating to ground yourself back. The tears are starting to blur your vision but you push the sleeves of your outerwear over your knuckles and smudge them away.
The way that Sunwoo still entertains your brother as he takes the body of the bag in your direction, humming intently to see if the colour of your outfit will clash with the accessory, brings your emotions to their peak and you just want to run away from this situation. He settles on one, a victorious exclamation falling from his lips and begins stuffing your necessities himself.
âPhone,â checking off the mental list, âkeys and wallet.â Your brother pointing at the lone lipstick left at the centre of the painted surface, âAh! This too!â Putting the closed cylinder inside the small purse before the metal zips and is carefully balanced on your shoulder.
Your thankful mutter didn't go unheard by Sunwoo and so did the tinge of makeup on the sleeve that you used when he looked away for a brief moment.
âHey!â Sunwoo cranes his head to speak to the younger, curious eyes. âWhy don't you go on ahead first and pick what ramen you want?â
The kicking of his heels against his chest made him wince a bit, quickly putting your younger brother where he dashes off with his favourite food.
Throughout the whole exchange, it once again confirms the fact that Sunwoo is truly loving to the people around him. The way that he tries not to disappoint your brother, even if there are probably bruises forming from his kicking, the way that he peels his head out to make sure your brother is taking careful steps to the kitchen and finally, the beaming but adoration in his eyes when he finally lands on the casual outfit you're wearing.
âWow.â A breathless chuckle, head empty with the sight of you.
His cheeks flushed and he couldn't help but stare at your stunning choice of outfitâif hoodies and no makeup could make his heart jump out of his chest, then he should go to the hospital because of your off-the-shoulder white top paired with the beige pleated skirt and cardigan.
âOkay?â You ask timidly, âL-Like, do I look okay?â
âYou're stunning.â He says truthfully that your body goes numb, looking away from the sparkles in his eyes.
Now, that's new. âHeyâŚâ Taking steps towards you, âWhat's wrong?â
But your heart is fighting so hard that you feel like you're about to give up. If Sunwoo is going to reject you, then you just want him to do it so that you can forget about all this and just go back to pretending that you will never have heart-shaped eyes for Kim Sunwoo ever again.
âY-Youâre okay with this?â The leather of your bag crinkles at your gripping question.
âYeah,â Sunwoo answers. âDon't worry. Jaemin is a great guy.â
Your eyes widen at the comment, âNo, I-I know that buââ
But Sunwoo suddenly zooms into your face, even bending his back to make sure that you wouldn't miss the pout on his handsome face. His eyes landed on your lip-touched makeup, âWait, can I have your lipstick? Let me retouch it for you.â
You couldn't even refute, feeling the cooling pink painting your lips, contrasting the palm on your cheek that steadies the delicate work on your lips. Why did he bother asking if he was just going to retrieve it himself? You're thankful Sunwoo can't multitask, missing the glimmer in your orbs as you try your best to keep your lips from shaking like your legs are slowly becoming. Itâs clear that he didnât know how to properly manoeuver the brush on your lips but you find yourself forgiving him even if your lips become a mess after this.
The defeated groans from his lips only made your heart swell and you take your time to look at him as if youâve never done so before; from his eyelashes that flutter prettily, to his tongue that pokes out in concentration, itâs crazy how handsome someone can be when he's not doing anything special. The pads of his finger spread the colour, smacking his lips as a sign for you to copy which you eventually do.
âDone!â And just when your heart thought it could finally get a break, Sunwoo decides to play with it a bit more, fishing out a snap hair clip. His hands smooth any bumps that arenât visible to the naked eye. A hand holds the side of your head gently, the other sliding the gift across your scalp carefully. âAlright, now letâs go!â
Your tears are so incredibly close to flowing but the lights of your room die like every hope of telling Sunwoo that youâre not as excited as he is for the night to come. But if this is Sunwooâs way of completely rejecting any romantic feelings for you, then what can you do except to trudge down your hallway where even your brother wishes that you would have a fun time? The smile on your lips doesnât reach your eyes when both boys remind you not to come home late in addition to Sunwooâs âText or call me if you need anything!â
You spare a final glance at the two, sombre smile plastered on your face. The last face you see is Sunwooâs whose eyes still held on a smile even though yours has been wiped away. Maybe it was supposed to encourage you or maybe itâs nothing and youâre just reading too deep into it but if thereâs one thing you know is that the night with Jaemin, even though he is a well-mannered man, a gentleman inside and out, your head couldnât help but wish that it was Sunwoo who took you to the arcade, making sure your arms are filled with snacks and drinks.
You wished that after that, no one was there to pull your chair out, instead laughing at the way you almost tripped on air while trying to sit down. You wished that you couldâve just stared at the menu in contemplation and for Sunwoo to just choose for you so that he could silence the growling in his stomach.
Cursing the famous day as well, seeing the love around you, the couples enamoured by their partners all around you, it only made the guilt inside grow further.
By the time the night is spent, Jaemin knows that his feelings aren't reciprocated. First, it's the way you ask him to repeat his words multiple times. Second, it's the way that your eyes are blank, just your orbs staring into space. Third, it's the way that you try to discreetly check your smartwatch for notifications from your best friend at your home.
âI'm sorry.â Jaemin chuckles in response after he softly calls you out.
The boy shakes his head, hands inside his pants pockets. âI knew that you didn't like me. I guess I just wanted a chance to maybe change that once.â But then he sighs an understanding sigh, closing his eyes before fluttering them back at you, âbut you're too far gone into your feelings to realise what I've been doing.â
Your eyes welled up with tears, apologetic at his words and Jaemin couldn't do much but give words of comfort after you explicitly stumbled away from his reaching hand, asking for physical space. You mutter a million apologies for today but Jaemin is respectful, convincing you that the friendship between you both won't change and that eases your mind.
âShould I text Sunwoo?â He carefully asks. âTo pick you up.â
A shake of your head is what had Jaeminâs eyebrow furrowing. âItâs okay. Iâll text him right now.â
And though your makeup is a mess, transferring onto the sleeves of your cardigan more, Jaemin still thinks you're stunning, the clenching of his heart intensifying at the glitter you still managed to hold. Jaemin leaves you alone in a convenience store near your favourite beach and somehow, you manage to convince him to go on ahead first, leaving your thoughts alone in the night of love.
Your feet routinely take you along the beachside, taking shelter at the convenience store for a while, grabbing drinks and food to aid your broken heart. When you crouch for the bottle at the bottom shelf, your mind just has to remind you that someone wouldn't even let you do this, always protecting you from any wardrobe malfunction.
Your knees finally give out and the back of your thighs meet with the back of your lower leg. Your hands only clutche on the neck of the green bottle while you hide your distressed face behind the curtains that your hair made.
Thinking of it all infuriates you.
Why can't you just be more trusting towards others? Believe that not all of them are out to ridicule or make fun of you.
âSunwooâŚâ You couldn't help but mumble as your tears finally painted your beige skirt darker.
Thankfully you were able to keep your emotions somewhat at bay, straightening your posture with the cooling drink in one hold. The cashier could only offer you an encouraging speech and an empathetic smile as soon as she saw the trail on your cheeks. The gesture is needed but the anxiety still weighs on your chest deeply. She must've thought that you've gone through a huge breakup on this unfortunate pinky day but you think the internal agony is worse.
For the last few hours or so, Sunwoo has been updating you with your baby brother through pictures. If only the pictures were just about the younger one and not a duo picture that once again shows that Sunwoo is a keeper when it comes to babysitting. The device is stashed in the bag that he chose from you earlier but if you could, you could honestly feed it to the sharks on the beach in front of you.
The wind provided you company, hitting your red apple-coloured cheeks to balance your rising temperature. You knew you shouldn't drink alone especially when the moon was high in the sky but you couldn't help but bask in the tide that hit the sand, pulling everything back into the body of water.
The tips of your toes are drenched and you would usually be running further away as soon as water hit your ankles but you didn't want to. Itâs times like these that youâre thankful for the invention of safety shorts as you're able to sit in any posture you like without worrying. Your knees constantly bend and straighten, dragging the sand along with it and at this point, you've created a shallow hole.
âI mean,â you slur, âIâm so comfortable with Sunwoo so why can't I be the same with the others?â your eyes could only shut in self-contempt from todayâs date, âAnd Jaemin was so respectful to me tooâŚâ
Itâs frustrating that you can't trust others when they've done nothing wrong. The only thing that responded to the strike down your cheek was the last drop of liquid courage; now even objects have started mocking you.
âI have to stop relying on him,â a hiccup and a humourless laugh. âWhen he gets a girlfriendâŚâ the thought cracks your heart into pieces and your knee grows closer to your chest, âGosh, what am I doing?â
âI could ask you the same thing.â
The deep voice and a couple of deep breaths made you turn back so quickly that you fell over sideways. The boy momentarily scolds you even more, grumbling, pointing at your ruined shoes tossed aside in the sand and exhaling whilst turning his head away to catch a break from the soaked ends of your outerwear. When the worry envelops him again, Sunwoo takes a better look at your state.
His tongue clicks against the roof of his mouth loudly and the crease between his eyebrows only deepens each time his eye focuses to another part of your face.
âDid you drink?! Alone?! I told you not to drink without me!â
His initial volume made you jump a bit, especially with how he directly circles behind you to pick up the discarded, lonely bottle. Sunwoo's nagging continues, crouching beside you to your eye level with the bottle making tunes from the wind. The pout answers him, along with the way your fingers fiddle on the hem of your sleeves. You had no intention of voicing out the answer now that he knows so you just say something else.
âYou actually cameâŚâ
The âsomething elseâ did make his ramble stop and his intense features started to soften and melt away when your words hit him.
âOf course, I came.â Reassurance above the whispering wind, âYou texted me.â
Your lips couldn't even gape open with a response because Sunwoo takes a couple of steps back, away from you. Though his body is still facing yours with his shoes pointing at you and arms around his knees, the safe distance is what makes your head hurt at the many things you could say to him.
âDid you put him to sleep?â You opted for this conversation instead.
Sunwooâs nods just got in your peripheral vision, but your nod is the centre of his.
You let the wind break you even more, not even raising your hand to move the strands that became trapped between your lower and upper eyelids, tickling your eyes when it finally is freed. Without a doubt, you know that Sunwoo is just watching you patiently, waiting for you to tell him to drop you home or to at least talk about the night whether it be his or yours. Your nervous system couldn't help but relax in his presence.
Inside, Sunwoo wants something from you too. An indication to move further and to close the thirty-centimetre gap he has created. Just anything so that he could finally leave the coldness that nips at his trembling skin. His bangs brushes over his sight but he still has a clear view of you. The side of his head only rests on his arm as he just stares at you, humming a tune that hopefully reaches you.
âWoo.â
âHm?â
âDo you like someone?â
A series of stuttering and unsure hums came from him. Your knees push against your chest hard, burying your head between them. Soon enough, you're convinced that the pressure is what kept your heart together after the affirmative answer.
âIâŚâ Here goes nothing, âwas supposed to be with her today and maybe ask her out officially but she had other plans and so did I.â
âOh.â You didn't know if he heard it. You kind of wished he didn't because of how sore your throat suddenly feels. âIâm sorry, I should've been the one to take care of my brother insteââ
âShe was busy too,â Sunwoo repeated, words clearer and punctuated. âIt doesn't mattââ
âWill I be able to trust anyone again?â
âW-Whaââ
âWill someone ever love me the same way that you love her?â
The thoughts haunt you every night when you're asleep and now that you finally share it with someone, you lose yourself in the alcohol and blurt out the impulsive thoughts.
âW-Whoa.â Sunwoo nervously chuckles. âDid the date really go that baââ
âDo I know her?â
âYeââ
âTell me. Let me make sure she's a good person.â
The only response you get is a low groan and sigh; both from Sunwoo and the guardian Cupid above you both. The moonlight twinkles the curve of the forgotten bottle but it reminds Sunwoo that you're not in your right state of mind and that you're just pressing to get the thoughts out of your head rather than truly looking for answers.
For the first time, Sunwoo took action, dusting his clothes from the damp sand. You merely watch with half-hooded eyes as he strides against the swallowing sand, your head slowly turning from the side to the front where he settles himself. Sunwoo gives you a soft tug of the corner of his lips and his dancing bangs only make him all the more attractive. He tests the waters, holding his hand out to reach yours, permission to touch you through his gaze. When you nod, he doesn't hesitate to share his body warmth starting from his bigger palms, relieved at how you seem to let out a breath that you have been holding.
âDeep breaths, bubs.â
The nickname makes you swoon and makes his instructions unclear. Though the pounding on the side of your head makes it hard for you to morph Sunwooâs clone together, the name managed to at least get your attention. With this, he didnât mind the way his clothes drank the seawater when he kneeled, even dragging his fabric across the surface. Sunwoo responds with a jut of his lower lip when you just shoot him a glare but your act disappears when he opens his arms wide. Without any further hesitation, your forehead rests on his chest. One of his hands cups the curve of your waist and the other threads through your silky hair. The act makes your body shudder and you find your arms start to hold his middle even tighter when he collects your hair and tosses it over to a side, his palm now covering your whole nape.
âYouâre alright.â Sunwoo muses. His diverts to yours and maybe youâre just imagining the adoration dripping from his eyes but you couldnât help to speak a bit of your mind.
âYou're doing it againâŚâ
âDoing what?â
You didn't give him a verbal answer, the shake of your head and the whines you gave were enough for him to just embrace you into his presence. Sunwoo hides you from the world when he sees the tears brimming across the eyes that heâs fallen for. Daring, he presses a kiss on the top of your head, smiling fondly at your more balanced breathing.
âLetâs go home?â The shake of your head made Sunwoo rake for more ideas. âWanna have a sleepover at my house then?â
âNo.â Muffled answer from his chest. âYouâre just going to make me sleep on the floor.â
âHey! You lost the bet last time! Donât blame your skill issue with rock-paper-scissors on me!â
âFine then! Iâll just stay here for the rest of the night!â
Oh, he's so in love with you. Sunwoo only coos, his heart fluttering and content when you respond to the playful war that he wages.
âIâll let you take the bed.â A raised eyebrow is what you offer him with when you crane your head and Sunwoo could tell the suspicion that you had against his words. âIâm serious!â
âReally?â
A roll of his eyes and a scoff, âAs if Iâll let you take the floor knowing that youâll be hungover tomorrow.â
âWell,â a shaky inhale, âyou could.â
âYeah?â This time itâs his turn to have an eyebrow raised. âWhy would I do that?â
âBecause when you go off and date someone, you wonât be able to keep doing whatever this is.â
âYeah?â He repeats himself, desperate for a little bit more of your feelings. At least let me down properly, he thinks to himself. âAnd what happens if I donât want to put my focus on someone else? What happens if I just want to keep focusing on you? What happens if I just want you in my life and no one else?â
Now, Sunwooâs hands grip a hold on your upper forearm and pull you away from his body. The moonlight finally reaches your face and Sunwoo observes you thinking, his eyes boring into yours, silently pleading for some sort of indication that would end the pink and red swirls in his eyes whenever he catches even a glimpse of your figure.
âThen I would tell you that I like you and that I have for the longest time.â
Are drunken thoughts still sober thoughts in this situation?
Sunwooâs head dips dangerously close and it takes everything in him to not press his lips onto yours. If you even allowed any words that imply that he may have taken your heart, he told himself he would look away even if it meant burying himself into the ground and never seeing civilisation ever again. The struggle is written all over his face: the tight wrinkles around his eyes that accommodate the crashing of his eyebrows, the protective hold he has on you and the way he presses his forehead onto yours with his hair tickling you, quiet exhales leaving his lips.
âPlease donât do this to me,â he pleads, âYouâre drunk and Iâm trying to not cross the line.â
âCross itâŚâ Mellow and enchanting. âI give you my consent.â
âDonât.â He grits and tries to still his heart. âI can'tâŚâ
âKiss me, Woo.â
Sunwoo swore that his heart almost leapt out of his chest when his eyes shot open, immediately growing bigger with how you nudged the tip of your nose to his. His temperature receptors feel the shift of the warmer air growing closer to his lips and he canât help but focus on the way your eyelids flutter close.
The attraction is fatal and so is the small distance left. Unconsciously, even though itâs wrong, he couldnât help but adjust his position, wanting to claim you as his even if itâs just for a while. Just when your lips are mere millimetres away from touching, Sunwoo denies the touch of heaven, the angel inside gets his hands to fly and block the intimate act with his fingers. A hand cups your cheek, tracing along your jawline and a thumb slots in between your plump lips from reaching his. His breath hitches when you peek at the smooth surface, void of the curves that you were expecting. He watches the stars fade from your eyes, replacing them with a wall that he couldnât decipher.
Through his eyelashes that flutter quietly and the painful gulp, he prompts you once again, âLetâs go home.â More resolute and grounded than before. âWe can talk about this tomorrow.â
The thumb did leave the presence on your cupidâs bow but lingers at your lipâs bottom edge. Sunwoo watches as your lips bounce back after he lightly pulls it down and he sees the dullness from your eyes with every single second that passes. He shoves his sleeves past his fingertips, wrapping the grey around his pointer and starts to collect your confusion on his sleeves.
âI-Iâm sorry.â
He could tell it was genuine and he assumed that you mightâve sobered up a little bit within the last couple of seconds. Sunwoo met your forehead once again with his thumb that still held you like you were as fragile as the glass bottle that had been discarded.
âPlease donât leave me.â
âIâm not going to leave you. Donât even bother to think of those things ever again.â He reassures your muddled-up mind. âIâm going to pick you up, okay?â
Between your hazy vision and the churning of your stomach, the only indication you could give is a nod and outstretched arms towards his now-standing figure. Sunwoo adoringly chuckles, bending down and supporting your weight by scooping you up by your waist. He kept your body close to his even when he turned around and kneeled, patting his back for you to slump over.
Out of energy, your arms lazily dangled during the walk, elbows resting on his shoulders during the whole walk. Truth be told, his back aches because you couldnât get a proper grip on him but he knows as soon as he straightens his back to a more comfortable position, you might actually hit your head and wake up in the hospital. The walk back to his car is quiet, chattering filling the background noise. If youâre awake, you can feel the shaking of his thighs as he carefully rests you on the cushioned seat, an arm coming over his head onto the back of yours as a safety measure from the upper door frame. Without a single sound from you, he successfully buckles you securely in the front seat. Your coat is gently undressed from you to be used to cover your legs, the short skirt only makes you shiver in the night.
âWhy do cars always sound so loud?â
Sunwoo complains when he twists the car key to start the engine. His eyes fall to you again, observing your sleeping figure who is unaware of the little jumps and loops his heart made. His pointer reaches over to the loose strands that tickle the front of your face. From the back of your ear, he holds his breath at your slightly gaped lips that pull him closer, drawing him nearer to share a kiss with you. Why did you have to look so stunning despite the reeking alcohol that only becomes stronger in the small space?
Though faint, his reflection from the front window stares at him and he canât help but sink further into the seat, wanting to hide and run away from himself. âWill you ever look at me the same way?â he grumbles hopelessly into the palms that shield him from reality before driving towards his house.
The exhaustion from the eventful day finally washes over him as soon as he parks his car in one go. Usually, you would give an impressed look and Sunwoo would wiggle his eyebrows when you only scoff at his achievements. The connecting door to his house opens, throwing his things inside the hallway without much thought before jogging back to your side. His eyes narrow, concentrating on making as minimal noises as he can whilst opening the metal surface that separates you and him. A hand pushes on the door while the other does the contrasting action with the handle to avoid the loud click that vehicles make. Thankfully your head isnât resting on the door, something that he made sure didnât happen so that you could rest in his house without the bumps of the road lifting your head and slamming it back down due to ruthless gravity.
And as much as Cupidâs curly blonde hair is between all the sides of his fingers, he mastered the art of patience and âtrusting the processâ as he took a series of deep inhales.
Throughout the whole time, Cupid is impressed at how blind you both prove to be. Itâs obvious now as he pays attention to the way Sunwoo treats you and the way that you desperately clutch on his jacket that you both are more than best friends. He ponders if he should shoot another arrow even though the initial one he shot is showing progress.
In this line of work, where heâs used to shooting, and observing for a while before going to another potential couple, he seems to be stuck with the couple in front of him. Up until now, he has never thought to shoot the second arrow that is reserved for a couple that makes him look away distastefully. Heâs never met one that makes him take them out of their trance as itâs obvious it became more bad than good for them but what heâs twirling in his hand is not that.
But he starts to think about his decisions whenever you're hurting because of the world and he starts to think of the shatter in Sunwooâs heart whenever he's around you.
Is it worth it to have you both come together?
âBut you know,â the arrow stops between his pointer and thumb, the crest hitting the perimeter of the stationary cloud. Cupid continues to peer over the two, finding himself squealing with the way Sunwoo continues to make teasing jokes to make sure you donât fall asleep behind the bathroom door while brushing your teeth and changing into your favourite hoodie of his. âI donât think shooting one towards these two will do much.â
He smiles knowingly, completely immersed in the way that Sunwoo hops over to cradle your head into his chest as soon as you open the door. Your mind is still under the scorching forty percent but you didn't miss the way Sunwooâs fingers rub on your exposed thigh when he brings you to his bed bridal style.
And if he shoots another arrow?
Oh, Cupid knows that youâre both more than just teenagers in love. Especially in your case, terrified, and for Sunwoo who just wants to see you happyâanother arrow means nothing if you both donât learn and figure out this obstacle yourselves.
With Sunwooâs help, youâre snugged underneath his blanket, pulling it up to your nose, just the way you like it. The laundry detergent brings you rest, and your brain immediately relaxes as it associates the scent with safety. Your body rests on its side and you watch Sunwoo as he takes a kneeling position on the side of his bed, taking his hand to yours while his other forearm rests on the bouncy futon. The act makes his heartbeat increase once more. âSunwoo.â The boy only keeps his affectionate eyes on yours while he strokes your hair. âThank you for picking me up.â
The brushes of his thumb on the back of your palm could lull you to sleep. âCan I sleep on the living room couch today then?â Mischievously suggesting, knowing how much you would complain about leaving you alone in the room for the whole night.
The question makes you pout awake again, âYouâre going to leave me?â Maybe you werenât up for the joke and Sunwoo smiles sadly, clearing his throat and shaking his head assuringly.
âIâm just joking with you.â An airy laugh seeped out from his lips. âIâll sleep on the floor.â Pointing at the unoccupied space behind him. âDonât worry.â
âOr you can sleep next to meâŚâ
Cupid feels the tension in the air after your suggestion. He propels the bed of clouds, flying closer to have a better view of you two. Heâs so invested in the way Sunwoo softly looks at you that the shake of his head after some thinking makes him scream once more, burying his face into the white puff of air.
âWhy not?â You scooted against his bed, making space to prove your point that the bed was big enough for you both. âItâs not like weâve never done it beforeâŚâ
âI know.â Sunwoo stands from his kneeling position but you refuse to let go of his hand. Instead, your hands slides from his wrist to entangle them between his fingers. âBubsâŚâ
âIâm scared.â Thatâs all it took for Sunwooâs knees to hit the floor again, coming closer to you. âWhat if I do manage to fall in love but then I just get hurt?â
âThen heâll deal with me.â It elicits a whimper from you and your vision suddenly blurs once more. The tears brim up more when Sunwooâs hand cups to rest against the apple of your cheeks with his knuckles, brushing in a circular motion. âLove them, itâs okay.â
The pressure youâre exerting on his fingers makes him furrow his eyebrows. âYouâre okay with that?â
âIf he makes you happy then Iâm okay with that, yes. If he is the one that will make you believe in love again, then yes.â And his shoulders shrug, not as a way to say that he doesnât care about your feelings because he doesâeveryone knows how much he cares for you. âI just want you to be happy.â
âThen make me happy.â
There it is again.
The implication that makes his eyes dart his focus from your heavy eyelids to the small gap between your lips. It travels down to your joined hands that lay next to your plump lips. He loves it. The sight of your hands, intertwining beautifully between his and the way that youâre holding him close to you as if his presence is a giftâif only he knew how much you treasure him.
âGet some sleep okay?â Ignoring it once more by throwing his eyes to his lap.
By some miracle, Sunwoo manages to break free from your hands but not before he wipes away the leftover final drops from your doe eyes. He didnât completely leave your side just yet though. Sunwoo just sinks his right forearm on the edge of his bed, his left on top before resting his chin later on. His eyes blinked and he held the momentary darkness for a few seconds longer before opening them again. You understand, nodding defeatedly. With Sunwoo looking over you, admiring you even though heâs much more exhausted after running around your house with an energetic child, you were able to finally slumber off to sleep. He only thought about standing when heard your drowsy breathing becoming soft snores. Even then, his hand snakes behind your nape and under all your strands, pulling your luscious locks up to hang over his pillow and leaving the cold air to cool your exposed skin.
âI love you.â
And thatâs when Cupid made up his mind.
The first thing that greets you when the flock of birds chirps too loudly for your liking is the gutting feeling of wanting to run down to the toilet bowl and empty the contents of your stomach. The second thing that hits you is the desert down your throat, your hand blindly rummaging on the bedside table to find the familiar shape of your water bottle. The third thing that hits you is the remnants of a tight non-existent band that wraps around your head.
Itâs all a good potion to remind yourself never to drink so much liquor in such a short period.
But the fourth thing that hits you as you rise to a sitting position, thumb and pointer running up horizontally across your eyebrows, is the familiar room that isnât yours. It takes you a while to notice but you recognise the one familiar arcade teddy bear on the very unorganised study table on the opposite of the room. The picture framed your scowl while the owner of the room held his phone up, tongue sticking out to the camera with the little peace sign above your head.
âShitâŚhow the heck did I get here?â Your bed hair becomes a bird's nest in a matter of seconds. âWait so last night I went to the convenience store,â tracing your steps carefully, âdrank at the beachâŚâ but a blank after that, âSunwoo must've picked me up.â The dread hits at the name you just spoke, âIâm not ready to face him!â
The blanket is ripped out from your lower body, and the drop in temperature sends goosebumps all over your body. Quite simply, you're embodying the term of waking up on the wrong side of the bed without its metaphorical meaning.
There was no point in peeking through the slit between the door and the frame of Sunwooâs bedroom because you knew directly on the other side is a wall with framed pictures of the family who resides there. You ready yourself with an inhale through your nose, preparing a bunch of words despite the still evident headache before exhaling through your mouth.
The smell of batter and vanilla becomes more evident as soon as your hand creaks the door open. It excites you knowing that your favourite breakfast isn't too far away from reach. The smile that you gave though, reminds you of the pressing matters when it strikes pain through the veins on the side of your head.
Your exclamation to the feeling is what rips Sunwoo out of his daydream, turning around to see you tiptoeing not too far behind him like a thief.
âYou're awake.â
Beside him, a tower of the perfectly circular cooked batter is stacked in five, maple syrup around the rim of the treat as it drops down naturally onto the rest of its friends below. You could tell that he probably timed each side with how uniform the colours of each side were. Sunwoo hasn't picked up the panic behind your eyes, setting the plate on the island between you both.
âTake this first.â He pops the white pill from its aluminium seal and reaches for the full glass of water he prepared earlier from the fridge.
Sunwoo didn't know that his proud smile would fall as quickly as you almost did when you stepped back. His feet rooted themselves to the slippery wood underneath, his eyes widening even though you managed to grab hold of the backrest of the couch next to you.
âAre you alriââ
âI should take my leave now.â You rushed to say, âMy mum must be wondering where I am.â
âI told her last night, don't worry.â
Right. Just like all the times he has done whenever you fell asleep on his shoulder while watching anime with him.
âEat something first and I'll drop you home.â His head tilted to the alluring warm cakes on the table.
The perfect cylinder on his hand would have slipped from his sweaty palms with how you shake your head in the slightest. Now he's picking up something. Do you remember the events from last night? No, you've always been a forgetful one and he would help you remember by setting up cues and would always have his camera facing you to record the horror creeping up your face.
Whatever it is, he felt the need to take the lead first, especially with how you're avoiding even looking his way and sitting down on the board of the furniture from before, your hands gripping the polyester beside your body. He's not too far away from you, maybe a metre apart but he's feeling anxious with the air himself, turning away from you momentarily.
You hear the exhausted exhale from your best friend and that made you scared to even look his way. The rim of the glass hits the marbled top. âI'm not going to do anything to you, you know?â
âOf course I knowâŚâ Keeping your emotions at bay.
âThen?â
Cupid raised both his eyebrows, hoping that you would be able to find the courage to rightfully confront Sunwoo for the feelings in your heart. His hands clamp together, lacing together as he rests his forehead on the knuckle of his thumb, silently encouraging the growth of the couple in front of him.
âI know that itâs my fault too that I didnât speak up about the date with Jaemin. I shouldâve been more honest to him first and foremost because heâs done nothing but nice to me and yes! The date was really nice and he was a gentleman like you said Sunwoo but,â the implications of the last word wipes the proud smile that he had, lips pursed to a thin line, âI wish that you didnât put me on the spot especially when you know that Iâm scared of being around men.â
There was no audible answer that he could truly give you. What you said is true and he hates that he projected to hide his feelings for you in the worst possible way. He left you alone at night, in the hands of someone that he canât fully tell your mother honestly that he knows. The shake of his head is slow but harsh and with a glance, you could hear the cogs turning inside the distraught boyâs head.
âIâm sorry.â Wavering in fear.
âPlease donât be.â He responds. âIâm sorry.â
Despite shutting his eyes, Sunwoo feels the looming shadow that falls over his slumped figure against the tabletop. His hands join together, a loud clap making you jump a little bit at the force of his thoughts. You watch as his hands drain the blood flow, slowly making his fist white. And though your chest hurts from the anxiety running through your veins, you decided that it was best for you to clear the awkward air.
What you did is beyond anyoneâs imagination but it felt right as compared to last nightâas compared to all those times two years ago. Your fingers cradle the underside of Sunwooâs jawline, separating his chin from his chest and angle his shocked face to yours. Sunwoo wouldâve genuinely run away usually, maybe even letting out one of those screeches that would leave you scolding him for the pounding of your eardrums, but something else is pounding in both of your chests and itâs syncing with each other for the first time.
You move little by little, your toes slowly moving in so that you can stand between his slightly open legs until the sides of your knees are between his. Slowly, the anterior side of his forearms starts to lift from the surface behind him, testing the waters to hold you in his arms by ghosting his already encircled arm around your middle. When you nod, Sunwoo finds himself tightening the hold immediately, pulling you into the crook of his neck while your fingers thread on the loose white of his fabric. His fingers widen their reach, wanting to feel your figure on a wider surface area.
âIâm in love with you.â
Itâs such a simple line.
It wasnât extravagant nor was it unique or poetic, yet you find yourself wanting to record it so that you could play it back whenever and wherever.
âI know youâre scared.â He affirms to your growing whimpers. âBut I want to continue to love you if youâll let me.â
Now itâs official. There was no buildup to the streams down your cheeks but you still let yourself indulge in the pent-up frustration over your lack of trust for the boy who is holding you like youâre the most precious thing in the whole world.
âIf our friendship is going to end and you'll never look my way ever again, then at least please let me hold you a little bit longer.â
You wish you could at least have enough strength to throw some punches on his chest but youâre breathless in both the way your throat begs for air and in the way Sunwoo nudges the tip of his nose to a sensitive part of your neck. The same area grows colder without any effort and it takes you less than a second to realise that Sunwoo is crying himself.
âWhy are you crying?â You ask as best as you can through your tears.
âBecause youâre crying.â He simply answers. âIt hurts me that youâve gone through so much.â Sunwooâs lips shudder, taking in small breaths himself. âBut Iâm really proud of you.â
âYou say that all the time.â
Sunwoo chuckles, acknowledging the times he did say it. âAnd Iâll never get tired of saying it.â
Cupid relaxes his shoulders when you both slightly pull away, tender eyes looking upon each other with a wide grin appearing on you both but he could tell you both are trying your best to not look away, wanting to live in the love that the other shared in the moment. He was about to flap his wings, thinking that it was enough eavesdropping for today but you quickly pressed a light pucker to Sunwooâs left cheek. Then to his right. Then to his philtrum. He couldnât help but cover his eyes at your daring act but what made him push back further to the corner of the room to give you space were your words.
âCross the line, Sunwoo.â
Sunwoo grips your waist, groaning against your lips and heâs momentarily still until you swipe the crease forming on his forehead and whisper a variation of assuring words. Thatâs all it takes for Sunwoo to finally close the gap between you both. Itâs no longer a metre, sixty or thirty centimetres, not with the way his hands roam all over your body, needing more confirmation that youâre the one kissing him. His hands slide from your waist, gently to cup both of your bottoms, pushing you up closer to him. It elicits a soft gasp from you but Sunwoo pulls on your bottom lip to connect you back to him. Your dazed eyes met his dark ones and he took this time to swipe his wet muscle across the teeth mark to soothe the pain.
Feverish for affection, your zooms towards his lips once more, locking the plumper ones between yours before pulling away with a soft hum and engulfing the other one to give it the same amount of love. Sunwooâs heart melts at the way you lightly tug on his scalp, the other hand sliding down along his nape and resting your palm on his collarbone. What makes him crazy is the vertical swipes that you give on his defined collarbones. He parts the kiss, pushing himself off the edge of the table and lifts you there, trapping your body with his palm on either side of your body.
âBubs.â
âYou okay?â
âMore than okay.â Sunwoo chuckles, devouring your lips once more. âCan I kiss you somewhere else?â As soon as the confirmation is given, a warm hand wraps on the back of your neck and Sunwoo starts to alternate the pressure from his open mouth on the side of your neck, starting to mark you his.
The black strands of his hair swallow every part of your gripping hold on him but he smirks against your skin with the little pretty sounds dripping from your lips.
âS-Sunwoo.â Realising now that heâs painting you on a visible area. âMy mum and brother are going to see.â
Itâs not that youâre embarrassed by himânever himâyouâre just shy at the new colour that he places on you, completely unfazed by what others think.
Possessive Kim Sunwooâyou could live with that.
âCan I pull the hoodie down a bit then?â Sunwoo pants against your skin, rough and slightly out of breath. âOnly if you want it.â And he made sure youâre comfortable with whatever itâs going to be with how he wipes the forming sweat on your upper spine.
You spent what it feels like a minute holding his gaze to you. âI trust you.â
And heâs back to creating a masterpiece on your skin. Three of his fingers hook on the neckline and expose the body part that he wants to place his hungry lips on next. He watches the way your collarbones become more visible when you deeply inhale and he waits for your next breath patiently. When it does come, you slightly throw your head back at the pleasure of his soft nimbles. Sunwoo didnât even want to spend a second away from you, his hand pushing on your lower back to press him up against you more. Your mewls are what motivate him more, pushing him just a bit more to finish the work in progress that he has in his head, pivoting his lower lip to a different angle and pressing the final press on you.
You release a breath you didnât even know you held and Sunwoo frowns at the way you limp your upper body onto him, arms around his shoulder for support.
âS-Sorry, I didnât mean to do it that hard.â
Your hair ruffles against his when you shake your head. âDonât be, I enjoyed it.â
Again, the room is filled with light chuckles once more, your dangling legs kicking the air at the shared moment together. Slowly but surely, the sweat evaporates from your face but your blush is still very evident. But before you become too shy and run away once again, you respond to his words that made you both cry in each otherâs safety.
âI love you too, Kim Sunwoo.â Sunwooâs hand that has been running up and down your back stops, wondering if he heard the right words. You turn to the vein on his neck, kissing along the line until the shell of his ear. âThank you for not giving up on me.â
Sunwooâs heart combusted at that and he only buries his heating face into your shoulder, making you giggle even more. His whole body is on cloud nine and heâs truly the luckiest person in the world to receive such words from you.
âI want to look at you.â He says before pulling away once more, hands planted next to your thighs once more.
Sunwooâs slender fingers tucked your strands behind your ears, squishing your cheeks in between and said a relay of sweet nothings. Even though his eye smile is mostly on you, occasional glances were being stolen somewhere else. Knowingly, your finger pulls the cloth down and you watch the shift of mischievousness start to leave.
âIs it pretty?â
The adjective is an understatement. Of course, he wanted to say âyesâ because itâs his art that heâs proud of. He's the one who put the distinct heart shape there, his teeth mark slowly fading on the tip of the heart where he pivoted before and the remnants of him still slightly shine on your skin thanks to the overhanging light.
âYouâre prettier.â Quickly stealing a peck from your lips to silence your shy complaints. âBe mine?â
âValentineâs Day passed, Woo.â
âBe mine for life then.â
Oh, Kim Sunwoo really does have a way with his words.
âPlus, Iâm glad that we didnât become official yesterday.â Shrugging when you tilt your head, still with that cute smile of yours. âNow we donât have to spend our Anniversary and Valentineâs Day on the same day. More mandatory days to spend with you.â
A light shove on his chest is what you respond with but your other hand already had a grip on the lower hem of his shirt. Sunwoo almost stumbled when you pulled him back, enveloping your lips with his.
âThank you for never giving up on me,â Hands cradling your jaw, yours doing the same and you make sure your feelings are known, âI love you so much.â
âI love you more.â
Guess Cupid changed his arrowâs trajectory much to Sunwooâs content.
Or maybe, itâs not really his doing after all.
Truth is, Cupid never shot an arrow in Kim Sunwooâs way.
In reality, Cupid actually shot his chance to Na Jaemin and him onlyâbut even he has made a wrong guess. The trust and hope that you and Sunwoo share are unmatched compared to the lovesick eyes that he has matched people with.
âA love thatâs greater than my powersâŚâ Though defeated and his self-confidence took a bit of a downfall, how truly upset can he be when he sees you and Sunwoo just embracing each other, body to body, close and loving each other just the way you both are?
Heâs glad of his decision to shoot that second arrow to the other boy after you both fell asleep last night.
âNow thatâs a mistake that I can live with.â

divine | nct jaehyun teacher!au x reader
Summary: The kids practically pushed you toward one another.
Genre: Fluff
âAnd that marks the end our lesson on cell structure and function,â you said. The students in front of you cheered and clapped. âDonât get too excited, yet. You havenât even done your exams.â The cheering turned into groans of dissent. You could hear someone muttering things about you in the back.
âI heard what you said, Jackson. Come see me after school later.â Jackson seemed to brush it off, scoffing and looking away. Somebody knocked on the door.
âCome in!â you called. Leaning on the doorframe in thin glasses and several papers in his hands. it was the schoolâs resident heartthrob, Mr. Jung Jaehyun. He taught mathematics, and you had often consulted with him when you were faced with difficult physics problems.Â
âWell arenât you being awfully mean to the students,â he remarked. âAnd I believe that the class period has changed.â
âOh, hello Mr. Jung. I was just tidying up, no need to mind me. And Jackson needs to come to me after school because I was going to give him a few tips on his dancing with... GOT7?â You swiveled your head towards the blonde-haired boy. Jacksonâs eyes were as big as saucers.
âAm I right?â you asked. âYour b-boying earned you that trophy at the Arts Festival last month, but your dancing still lacks technique, and you need a brushing up on the basics, Jackson.âÂ
You gathered up your books and laptop. Most of the class was still dumbstruck at what you had just said. You started walking to the exit.
âI see. By the way, your outfit looks good today, Miss (Y/N),â Mr. Jung said. You didnât know what to respond with, so you simply nodded your head and went to your next class.
Over the next few weeks, you met Mr. Jung in small but sweet little encounters. You were moving between classes again and stumbled upon Mr. Jung. He was wearing a smart black suit. One of his hands ran through his hair. Suddenly, you got why all these people were calling Mr. Jung the school heartthrob. He was.. well... really damn handsome.
âMiss (L/N),â he said as he passed by during break one day.Â
âMr. Jung.â You wanted to ask him about some meeting results from last week, but you must not have been paying attention. A puddle caught you by accident. You felt yourself falling through the air. Trying to reach for something was impossible in the hallway. Nothing was there to cushion your fall except... Mr. Jungâs arm.
âOh! Are you okay?â Mr. Jung asked. You hoisted yourself up. The studentsâ excited murmuring were all pointed at you. Some female students were glaring at you, but Mr. Jung paid no mind to them at all.
âYeah, yeah, Iâm alright.â Your brain was having trouble stringing together words. Small shocks of electricity prevented your body from being to function normally. You freed yourself from Mr. Jungâs grip. âDonât need to worry about me, âcause Iâm... gotta go!âÂ
What, what, what, what, what, you thought over and over. You had just made a fool of yourself in front of Mr. Jung. Now he would think you were a total weirdo. You stopped by the bathroom to get yourself together. The person in front of you was sweaty with disheveled hair. After returning back to a better state, you walked out of the bathroom and went to go to your second class.
Fate would have you meet Jung Jaehyun again, this time, at break in the staff room. Your stomach let out a loud grumble. The last meal you had eaten was last nightâs dinner, and your stomach was not putting up with it. Mr. Jung looked up at you.
âAre you hungry, Miss (L/N)?â he asked. You waved your hand.Â
âNo, not really. I just didnât have breakfast.â
âHave mine.â He slid a sandwich from his table. You picked at the plastic covering it before sliding it back to him.
âNo, itâs really alright, Mr. Jung. Iâll just buy something at the convenience store later at break.â You opened your laptop again, trying to get him to take back the sandwich.
âNo, no, no. Just take it. You have a class after this, right?âÂ
âWell, yes, but-â He stood up. Picking up the sandwich in his long and nimble hands, he put it in your lap.
âEat. And call me Jaehyun.â Mr. Jung Jaehyun extended his hand. The corners of his lips went up in a smile. Gosh, he really is handsome. You shook hands with him.
âThen call me (Y/N).âÂ
The halls were empty and deserted. Outside were some kids playing basketball for their extracurricular activities. There were bound to be some students inside too, but none of them were showing up. You passed an empty classroom with its door ajar. Walking up to it, you were prepared to close the door, when you heard your name.Â
âAnd so weâre going to lead Miss (L/N) here, and youâll be out here, and-â a student babbled from inside. From the crack in the door, you spied several students and... Jaehyun?
âI heard my name being called? Is there anything that needs me?â you said, bursting in. The students stuffed something into a drawer. You confirmed your suspicions. Ten students were crowded around two tables, with Jaehyun at the head.
âUm, oh, yeah!â a student said. You recognized them as the head of the student council. âThe student council needs your help with these matters, and since your our supervisor...â The student led you out of the classroom. They began to talk about an upcoming student event and how the student council would step in.Â
You nodded and gave bits of advice all while looking back at the classroom. Only one question was stuck in your head for the rest of the day. What was that man up to?
The rest of the week went smoothly. You still had your little encounters with Jaehyun, and each day he was getting sweeter and sweeter. One day, he gave you a ride home on his motorcycle when your car broke down. Another day, he bought you some food for lunch.Â
Finally, Friday arrived. One last day and you would get two more days of more work! The only thing that relieved it was the fact that you got to do the work at home, instead of at school.Â
It was a free period, so you were roaming the halls in search of a student you needed to speak with. âMiss (L/N)! Miss (L/N)!â somebody called. You turned back to find the head of the student council behind you. They were panting, exhausted after running.
âWhatâs the matter?â you asked.Â
âWell-â the student paused to take a long breath. âWeâre setting up the gym for next week, and we wanna see what you think of it.â You put your hands on your hips. Well, at least this would occupy you for some time.
âYeah, sure, letâs go.â On the way, the student chattered along about the progress of the event. He pointed out key locations around the corridors that they would use later on. However, none of his words seemed to be staying in your head.
Thought of a man snuck into your brain. A man with soft brown eyes that crinkled whenever he laughed. A man whose voice was as smooth as fresh hotel sheets. A man who had captured your heart.Â
Jung Jaehyun.
The student had left you at the doors of the hall, saying that they needed to go check on something else. You opened the door.
In place of the harsh lights above, spotlights were installed up above. The dim light made it almost impossible to see. Suddenly, a huge spotlight on top of you lit up.
âWhat is-âÂ
âOh, (Y/N). I donât know how to say this, but letâs get it on,â Jaehyun said, scratching the back of his head.
âI really, really, like you. I donât know, thereâs this-â he paused for a while. âThis warm, feeling in my heart whenever I see you. I feel really giddy and warm and just- just wonderful.â
âOh Jaehyun,â you rushed up to him. Your small height was no match for his taller and stockier physique. He slinked his arms along your waist and pulled you closer.
âBe my girlfriend?â Jaehyun asked, bringing forth a single rose.Â
And without you knowing it, your lips were on his silky ones. Jung Jaehyunâs scent was enveloping you all at once, loose strands of his hair touching your eyes, and it all felt divine.

Private lesson pt.2: the office
part 2 is finally hee! I've never wrote something like this, !I Tried to work as much on the plot, evolution of feelings and the nsfw parts equally! it was a lot -anD tough- work to make it as perfect as poasible
I hope you'll enjoy reading as much as I liked writing it!
part 1 here
warnings: johnjae x reader, teacher johnny, dilf johnny established relationship, con/ non con, cheating, discover of feelings ( gay little jaehyun* wink *wink), handjob, voyeurism, mature language, blowjob, pet names, 3some, they're all just horny for each other
-----------------------------
You met mr. Suh again the following week, his classes following your little intercourse were torture everytime . You couldnât stop thinking about him, your heart racing every time he walked past you or even looked in your direction.
So you met Johnny again.In his office this time, leaving Jaehyun worried outside of the building ,who was waiting for you like every other day after your classes.
You were 40 minutes late, not answering his texts, Jaehyun raced to one place, trusting his intuition , - deep down wishing he was wrong-, thousands of thoughts about how he was going to get Mr. Suh fired for daring to lay his hands on you.
He slammed the door loudly , the sound resonating in the empty hallways, he found in front of him, the said man sat at his desk, just pulling his head up to greet him warmly, unphased by the sudden entrance.
âDo you need something? you look pretty concerned, go on take a seatâ Johnny gestures him, like a gentleman
âShut the fuck up, I know y/n is with youâ Jaehyun violently spit back
At the sound of his voice your heart thumps in your chest, you freeze under the desk, you try to pry off Johnny's cock in your mouth only to have his hand pulling you back down , stroking your hair to sush you down .
âWell, sheâs a bit busy right nowâ Johnny says with a smirk as he throw a glance at you under his desk
You canât see the way Jaehyun looks at Johnny right now, contemplating wether he should murder him right now or later
âOhh donât look at me like that, if you wanted to take part in one of our lessons you just had to say it, mind joining us? Iâ m sure Y/ n would love it â
Johnny continues as he strokes your cheek, feeling the tip of his dick under the pad of his thumb, his eyes meeting yours lovingly when Jaehyunâs slammed his hands on the table, Johnny lift his head up, eyeing him up and down as he shoots:
âYou cunt how dare you using my girlfriend like that, sheâs mine get your gross hands off her.â
âHo wow wow calm down big boy, you werenât complaining that much last time, you think I didnât see you literally cream your pants and soak your hand in cum in front of me?â Johnny provoked him, actually not being totally wrong.
âYouâre a sick pervertâ Jaehyun said in disgust
âYou like itâ Johnny simply said with confidence, cocking an eyebrow at him, leaving Jaehyun speechless.
Jaehyun only gave a death glare to Johnny who looked amused.
Yes of course he liked it, but he couldnât say it. Getting angry was the normal reaction to having another man fuck your girlfriend right?, but god how much it was turning him on, he could get hard just by thinking about it. And Mr.Suh was rather hot...the way he was always riling him on, getting him to accept things he only saw in porn, he wondered how it would feel to be touched by him but no, no, no +he couldnât bring himself to accept that. no, no, he wonât give in , jaehyun thought to himself.
âSince it seems like you donât like me giving the lesson , I guess y/n willâ Jaehyun felt a bit disappointed deep down, curious about what it would if Mr. Suh would have been the one to give it.
You looked up at the man overing you in surprise, too scared to intervene, you has rest your head on Johnnyâs knee the whole time, secretly hoping for the situation to pass, or for Jaehyun to give in, you liked them both after all.
Johnny got up, obligating you to get out of your hiding place. He didnât bother to pull his pants up, walking around with his belt hanging low and his zipper open ,- which jaehyun found himself staring at - Johnny wasnât unaware of the eyes on him, he found a certain pleasure in swaying his hips to come closer to Jaehyun, a teasing hand efflering him as he murmured, low enough for the both of you to hear
â Make yourself comfortable dearâ Haehyun could feel his hot breath on his skin, the low voice and the nickname giving him goosebumps.
Jaehyun did as he was told, swallowing the lump in his throat as he sat down on the brown leather sofa across the desk. Quickly followed by yourself, the both of you staring at Johnny who was sitting on the edge of the desk, shirt unbuttoned slightly, giving you a glimpse of his toned chest.
Jaehyun hated how such simple words made his body react, just because they came from him, he hated how he was willing to listen to him, how he thought he was only there for you but it looked like Johnny didnât intend on letting him on the side.
Youâre confused as you see Jaehyun not rejecting the teacher right away, rather complying which is unusual. Unable to read in him you try to follow his movements, complying as well and trying to get him to relax. Scared he was mad at you. you tentatively move your hands to caress his shoulders and chest, taking his hand in yours and making sure to leave a sweet kiss to his cheek
âAlright baby relax, you look stressed nothing bad gonna happen uhâ Johnny tells you, noticing your worried expression.
The nickname sounded bitter to Jaehyun's ears as he was starting to get up in anger, you try to hold him down. But your boyfriend sits down as soon as Johnnyâs voice rings in his ears.
âShh don't be so violent, Love, youâre part of this too, donât you want this? â he asks calmly, no hint of teasing in his voice, only care.
A moment of silence.
Jaehyun was speechless, thousands of thoughts running through his head, he wanted to say no, to get out of here, to punch him, but his curiosity - well, feelings- got the best of himself, the tone of Johnnyâs warm voice eased him down yet made his heart race.
â Well I see no objectionâ Johnny breaks the silence, getting up to walk towards you, his eyes piercing through Jaehyun's as if only the both of them were in the room. The tension made Jaehyun bite and lick his dry lips, suddenly feeling nervous.
Johnny didn't miss this small reaction Jaehyun gave him as he kneeled before him . Not doubting you wanted this as much as him, he was happy, almost proud to see Jaehyun finally give in and show his emotions.
As he unzipped his pants, his eyes never left Jaehyunâs, his body heating up as he felt like it was his first time- technically it wasn't wrong- Jaehyun cleared his throat, eyes looking everywhere but him as he took off his belt, nervous about Johnny touching him there. His heart dropped when Johnny placed a hand on his thigh as he stand up.
You and your teacher exchanged places, Johnny behind the couch while you were kneeling at Jaehyunâs feet. You winked at him before peeling off his underwear, under the observant eyes of Johnny who was looking down at you as he unbuttoned his shirt you pulled Jaehyun's shirt as well, kissing him in the way.
Finally kissing your boyfriend after such long moments of stress felt relieving, you could feel that Jaehyun wasnât comfortable yet while your panties were already wet.You sat on him to hump against his clothed cock, kissing him deeper.
You âhands wandered all over his naked glory, touching every inch of his skin, feeling like you hadnât touched him in forever. Drowning him in kisses, marking every inch of his body while grinding desperately against him, sighing against his lips , finally able to release the pent up sexual tension.
Jaehyun got lost in your ministrations too, giving in, his hands became more daring, moving from gripping your waist to cupping your ass. Johnny was in the back, cock heavy in his pants, loving the sigh when you turned around with swollen lips and begging eyes, searching for him.
âJohnny pleaseâ you begged him, aching for him to do something, to guide you.
âAwww someoneâs needy uhâ You only nodded before he continued his sentence
â But this ain't about you sweetheart. Get on your kneesâ
You did as you were told, kissing your boyfriend one last time, you finally saw him smile at you as he was looking as fucked out as you.
You kneeled like you were told but Johnny giggled â Looks inviting but I didnât mean it was in front of me â he said with a smile. You felt a bit shy yet you all felt like your little mistake had eased up the tension in the room.
âAlright, I want you to take him in your hand, mustn't be too hard for you considering heâs smaller than me hmm and stroke his cock, but only tease the tipâ Johnny finally instructed.
You did as you were told, taking completely off his pants and brief as you head Johnny quickly comment
â Not quite what I expectedâ jaehyun don't know if he should feel hurt or proud,
â Shut upâ he blurted out, only to have the teacher looking down at him with a teasing expression he hated -not that much if he was honest.
you ignored their bickering, knowing he was only doing this to get a reaction out of your boyfriend. You took him carefully in your hand, slowly moving your thumb to rub below his tip, making his cock twitch in your hand before you gave it a sweet kiss, never leaving his eyes. You enjoyed the way your hand was wrapped around him, you loved to feel him harden in your hand, you rubbed his balls in the meantime doing everything you knew he was into.
You could see the way he spread his thighs more, his hands not gripping the armrests anymore.You lean in to lick his, circling it softly with your tongue as you rubbed the rest with your hand. He watched you extend your tongue to lick his whole length, riling him up so well. At the feeling of your wet tongue on his shaft, Jaehyun bucked his hips up, his fingers digging in the leather, your hand was too loose around his cock, not allowing all the pleasure he wanted to feel. You licked him ever so slowly watching Jaehyun lose his composure.
When you took his tip lightly in between your lips, it was the last straw for him.
âoh my god y/n pleaseâ he begged
Only for you to pull out of his cock and let a string of saliva fall down on his cock instead, making it sloppy, just how he liked. but you didnât give him any rest.
You leaned down to lick his balls, making sure to wet them, you could see his cock leak, adding to the wetness of your saliva, Jaehyun was groaning and sighing, cute small moans escaping his lips that made your heart melt.
Watching you intently, Johnny could tell that you were about to give him more than he wanted you to, so he tsked, getting both of your attention on him.
âDesperate already Love? i thought you would last longer than this.â he said , addressing to Jaehyun .
âHere, let me take the leadâ He told you as you exchanged places again.
Jaehyunâs eyes were fixated on Johnny who was kneeling in front of him, not missing any of his movements. Taking it as a challenge, Johnny never avoided his stare, instead he deeply stared back at him as he slowly wrapped his hand around Jaehyunâs cock. He moved closer to him, mere inches separating their faces, Jaehyun could almost feel johnnyâs lips as he murmured against his
âYou should do it like this, just like that, that's it Love '' he drew the words out, emphasizing the agonizing pace of his hand around his cock. Jaehyunâs heart stopped, sweat dripping down his forehead and his body heating up at the sound of his deep voice. He couldnât stop looking at his lips, mesmerized until the feeling of Johnnysâ fistclosing aroun him, squeezing him ever so slightly as he moved up and down made him throw his head back in a loud moan, his cock leaking down his hand.J
Johnny was noticeably satisfied. He kissed the pretty extended neck presented in front of him, and Jaehyun blushed hard, almost panicking but his thoughts were too engrossed in the feeling in his lower stomach -and Johnny-.
He swears he is going to die, heâs going to break, to lose all of his self control. He wants Johnny to touch him, touch him more, drown him in pleasure with just his voice, and he wants you too, feel your lips on his, feel you clenching around him, he wants to feel it all.
Jaehyunâs breath starts to become hectic the more Johnny strokes him, finally giving in. You did nothing to help as you slide your hands down his bare torso,the feeling of your soft palms made him lean his head back on the top of the leather, giving you an opportunity to kiss his pretty lips as he swears
âFuckâ he says shakily as you toy with his nipples
âSensitive there hunâ Johnny comments. And for the first time, Jaehyun complies, no insult, no enraged comment , he simply nods in ecstasy, letting the both of you pleasure him, allowing himself to thrust into Johnnyâs tight fist and god how good it feels.
But everything falls apart before him when Johnny withdraws his fist, making Jaehyunâs frustration and suppressed anger come to the surface again, poor him he was so close to comeâŚ
âBastard..â he says through gritted teeth
âThatâs sir to you,'' Johnny bluntly answers, and Jaehyun hates it but his body can't hide how much he liked the authoritative tone in Johnnyâ voice , his cock even twitching in the teacherâs loose hand, making more precum drip from his tip.
Meanwhile, Johnny starts stroking him again, you massage Jaehyunâs chest, kissing his neck, making sure to lick and suck on the sensitive flesh.
You can see Jaehyun quickly starting to lose his composure as you play with one of his niple and Johnny attaches his lips the other .Jaehyun huffs, groans and squirms as you torture him, ovewrhelming him with pleasure. He tries to grab anything he can, his knuckles turning white on the armrests.
You try to ignore the ache in between your legs, sneaking your free hand in your panties. As your fingers collide with your clit, your knees buckle at the contact, so sensitive and close already from being on the edge for so long.
Jaehyunâs eyes start to water, moaning louder he lets out a broken âPleaseâ with a hoarse voice, visibly worn out. Johnny coos , taking pity on him, he can'tâ help but find him adorable in this helpless state. He grabs Jaehyunâs drooly chin his hand, ordering him softly
âCum darlingâ before selling their lips together in a deep kiss, swallowing his moans as he cums hard all over Johnnyâs hand, you quickly come too at the sight.
Once Jaehyun comes down from his high, obviously looking spent on the leather chair. Johnny pulls out of the kiss but Jaehyun pulls him back in , roughly making out with him, melting against each other's lips.
You watch them pull out of the kiss out of breath, eyeing them on the side. They take turns kissing you, making your heart flutter.
Johnny buttons up his shirt and buckles back his belt, hair and face a mess, you both canât miss his thick cock probing at the front of his pants, he looks as fucked out as you yet he does his best to look composed as he pants
âWe need to have a talk together, we should address whatever⌠- â he pauses waving his hand in the air as if looking for a word to qualify what just happened , looking deep in thought before finishing his sentence with a warm smile, hiding his excitementâ
â this-â he emphasis with a smile before finally finishing his sentence
âmore thoughtfullyâ.
-------------------------
part 3 at Johnny's house hehe
Looking forwars to your feedback!!<3

âYou got there just in time to see a coach you were very familiar with run through the crowd of boys, shoving a few out of the way in his dash to get into the bathroom to break it up.â

You sipped your coffee leisurely as you waited by your door, greeting teenagers with a chirpy âgood morningâ as they walked through the door with dead faces, each desperately seeking the warmth of a bed and the relaxation of sleep that would carry them to the crack of noon. They didnât want to be here, much less early, but with one class finished and three to go, they pushed on with great effort.
You felt for them. You really did. You would have given just about anything to stay snuggled up in bed for another five minutes, cozy between the warm body of the man next to you and the Australian Shepherd curled up behind your knees. But when that 6am alarm tore through the morning, you were forced out of bed with groggy desperation. The shower had helped, but not as much as you would have liked.
Now, with coffee and a good first class, you felt much more energized and ready to joke around with your second class that were already sitting themselves into seats, though the bell hadnât rang yet.You walked into the classroom and placed your coffee on the back desk to cool and stepped back out into the hallway.
Thatâs when you heard it.
A collective group of deep, masculine bellowâs, followed by shouts of glee, fear, excitement, and adrenaline that could only mean one thing.
Fight.
High school fights weren't a rarity, but they happened much less since youâd transferred schools. Youâd heard about fights, but you hadnât actually seen them at the new school. However, past experience at a horrible school sent flashbacks, and you were lurching off your post by the door and dashing down the hallway. It sounded as though it had just started, meaning no teachers or administration was likely to be there yet.
You rounded the corner where the B-wing hallway opened up into the upstairs quad hallway and immediately found a crowd gathered around the boys bathroom. You got there just in time to see a coach you were very familiar with, Coach Nakamoto, run through the crowd of boys, shoving a few out of the way in his dash to get into the bathroom to break up the fight, followed closely behind Physics teacher, Mr. Leechipornkul, and History teacher, Mr. Suh.
As you reached the wall of the bathroom, you didnât dare go inside, it was already crowded enough, but as a phone caught your eye, you turned to a student towering over you, phone camera pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
âPut it up and get to class!â you hissed.
He didnât argue as you had counted on. He pocketed the phone and walked off, but your attention was already gone onto something else.
More boys crowded the bathroom though the yelling had stopped. Tall bodyâs trampled over your shorter one, but you didnât back away. You grabbed at the arms of the teens and yanked them away from the door, herding them toward the hallway, but you werenât doing much. They swarmed the bathroom like gnats.
âGet to class!â a loud voice bellowed nearby.
You glanced over to find basketball coach, Coach Jung, shouting out, his baritone voice carrying louder than yours could, thus deterring other students, none too eager to anger the man that had a history of punishing by forcing students, any students, to run laps around the track or do push-ups in the hallways.
You pulled a few more students from the mess around the bathroom, calling out a string of âmove!â and âget to class!â
All of a sudden, boys started running everywhere, several stepping on your feet and swarming around you, shoulders and elbows bumping into your body, but you stayed firm.
âGet to class!â you shouted.
As the boys swarmed as though gnats were being swatted away, Coach Nakamoto and Mr. Suh walked out of the bathroom, both holding an arm of another handcuffed male who was screaming and shouting profanities, attempting to kick away from them, but both only held on tighter.
Your eyes cast a worried glance at the two, one in particular, but your attention was quickly pulled away as Mr. Lee, a Literature teacher, started shouting for students to get to class as the bell finally rang. Students slowly began to disperse as more and more teachers circled the hallway calling for students to clear out.
When the last few straggling students had finally gone to class, you followed the group of teachers from your own hallway back to your classroom. Adrenaline was still pumping through your veins, your heart accelerated in your chest. Your nerves tingled jerkily, ready to leap into action should you need to.
When you walked into the classroom, your students were talking quietly. They werenât working on the Warm Up that was posted on the board and had been since they started walking in, but they were all in their seats, which was all you could ask for at the moment.
âGet to work on the Warm Ups please while I call attendance,â you spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.
Conversations quietened as bookbags rustled with moving papers as they got out their notebooks for the Warm Up. You moved around to your desk and took a few slow deep breaths, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.
âMs. (Y/L/N)? Are you ok?â one of the students closest to your desk asked.
This caught the attention of other students and pretty soon, all eyes were on you. You couldnât show fear or anxiety. If you did, students would either stop taking you seriously or youâd never get anything done that class period. Good thing youâd perfected the art of hiding your emotions.
âOh yeah! Iâm fine! Not enough coffee,â you laughed, suddenly realizing it was on the back desk.
You stood up and, with eyes still on you, wound your way around the maze of desks to the back desk where you plucked your mostly full cup from the table and took a sip. Surprisingly, it was still warm.
âWhoâs ready to share?â you called.
So class began and even though your nerves never calmed, you taught until it was time for individual instruction in which you turned your spotify playlist on the front board and released the students onto your laptops as soft melodies and the clicking of computer keys filled the room.
You turned to go back to your desk, hoping to wind your nerves down just a little when someone knocked on your door. A student in the back opened in and Coach Nakamoto stepped in.
âCan I speak with you for a minute?â he asked, voice calm as he spoke.
You took a deep breath, nerves even more abuzz now as you stepped from the classroom. No one said a word, most students remained focused on the task at hand as you stepped from the room, pulling the door closed almost completely, leaving only a small crack to get back in.
âAre you ok? I saw you when we were dragging that kid out.â
You nodded, casting your eyes down to the floor. If you answered, you were afraid youâd start shaking. You were used to fights, but they always got under your skin. It wasnât necessarily that they scared you. Just⌠watching high schoolers beat each other down with no regardâŚ
âLook at me and give me a verbal answer please.â
Your hands were already starting to shake as your nerves wound tighter. You looked up at him.
âI-Iâm fine.â
âMhm,â he mumbled.
He glanced around the hallways, most likely checking to be sure there werenât any students out of class wandering the halls before he wound his arms around your waist and brought you to his chest.
âItâs ok to feel nervous or anxious,â he whispered against your ear.
You could feel your tense muscles beginning to relax as you settled against him, nerves soothing back down.
âDo you want me to watch your class while you go splash some water on your face?â he asked softly.
You didnât respond for a long moment, taking in his cologne for just a second longer before pulling away from his embrace and nodding. He smiled and, checking for students one more time, he kissed the top of your head gingerly before pushing open your door and stepping inside. You didnât stay long enough to hear how he addressed the students, taking off in the direction of the teacher bathrooms for a much needed moment of peace that youâd hopefully get during the last school period, your planning period.
You unlocked the door to the teacher bathroom and stepped inside, locking the door behind you before slinking over the sink and taking a deep breath as you turned on the tap.
One hell of a day, and it was only 10:20am.
You cupped your hands beneath the water and splashed it up onto your face, sighing in relief as it brought you back down to earth.
- - - -
By the end of your second class, Coach Nakamoto, who had been sitting in your class, had been called away to handle another fight. The rest of class went by smoothly, though, and your nerves were settling as you found a discreet outlet for your thoughts.
By third period, you were completely back to normal, joking and laughing with the most energetic class. Youâd almost put the fight completely out of your mind. The class period brought on no new complications, which youâd been weary of as lunch also happens during third period. However, class time came and went, students filing out at the bell, leaving you in your classroom alone to collect yourself and get any work done that you needed to get done.
You took a breath and reclined your office chair back as far as it would go, stretching your back out to release all of the stress that had accumulated over the day. You had never seen such a mess.
You closed your eyes, taking another breath and just relaxing in your chair, taking a moment to collect yourself.
âWhy donât you get the fuck out of my face!â a loud voice yelled from outside.
You let out a groan. Not again. You got up from your chair, pulling your mask back on your face and walking toward the exit. Out in the hallway stood two boys, both obviously freshmen, shoulders squared standing toe to toe.
âWhy donât you-â
âWhatâs going on out here!â you yelled to deter them.
It didnât work. One boy lunged for the other and before he could make contact, you were between them, the punch landing against your side, though you didnât have time to worry about the pain.
You pushed the boy closest to you back and turned to face the other, holding your hands out to block any more punches. He squared up as though ready to fight you, but at that moment, the door nearby ripped open and your neighbor, Mr. Lee emerged.
He didnât ask questions. He got in between you and the boy, sending him a harsh glare that deflated the boyâs shoulders. You turned your attention to the one youâd pushed away and just pointed to your empty classroom with a hard glare.
Other teachers filed out of their rooms, one declaring that she was calling for administration and before too long, the halls were swarmed once again. Though not as needed, Coach Nakamoto rounded the corner of B-wing, Coach Jung hot on his trail and your shoulders relaxed.
One of the administrators walked into your classroom to speak with the boy still there while two others escorted the instigator from the scene, profanity leaving his lips as he was led away.
âYou ok?â Coach Nakamoto asked, walking closer to you but not touching.
You nodded, but didnât look at him.
âYou sure? I walked out in time to see that kid hit you!â
You let out a groan as all eyes turned to you. You could feel Coach Nakamotoâs eyes boring into your skull.
âThanks Taeyong,â you muttered.
âYou were hit?â the head administrator, Mr. Junmyeon Kim, asked.
You sighed but nodded.
âLetâs go see the nurse,â Coach Nakamoto insisted.
âIâm fine-â you would have continued but he cut you off with a stern glare.
Reluctantly, you let him lead you away.
âJaehyun!â he called when you were both about to leave the hallway.
âIâll get Yukhei to cover your class,â Coach Jung responded.
Coach Nakamoto nodded and led you down the stairs and into the staff workroom. You passed several frazzled-looking office workers before finally walking into the nurses office.
âMr. Kim, Ms. (Y/L/N) had a student punch her in the ribs,â Coach Nakamoto said pointedly.
âYuta!â you scolded.
A man wearing a white coat over slacks and a button down shirt walked out from the back room to give you a once over.
âWhere?â he asked in his usual short manner.
You didnât answer for a moment, but as Yutaâs eyes bore harder into your skull, you relented.
âRibs.â
Mr. Kim hummed and walked closer, pulling back a curtain to reveal a small examination chair and a computer heâd use to key in the information.
âLift your shirt please.â
You let out a grunt, crossing your arms over your chest as you glanced back at Yuta.
âWhat? Iâve-â you cut him off by stepping closer to Mr. Kim and closing the curtain on Yutaâs face.
You lifted your shirt for the nurse to see and the man tutted softly.
âYouâve got a bruised rib. No big deal. Take over the counter pain medication if the pain is too great,â he instructed.
Simple enough.
You lowered your shirt and stepped out to see Yuta still waiting on you.
âJunmyeon said I could take you home. He says heâll clock you out,â he said, flashing you his phone with the administratorâs text message.
You nodded. It was a relief of sorts. The day was almost over anyway.
âWhat about my stuff?â you asked.
âTaeyong is going to drop it off.â
You nodded. That pretty much covered the basics. Besides, you were beyond eager to get home. Who were you to argue against it?
You nodded and let Yuta lead you out of the nurses office and down a hallway where two resource officers, Officer Park and Officer Byun, were questioning the instigator. You turned down a hallway when the boy lunged at Officer Byun and Officer Park had to restrain him.
When you got out into the back parking lot where teachers on your side of the building parked, you let out a breath of air and quickly ripped the claustrophobia-inducing mask from your face, sucking in a deep breath of relatively fresh air.
âAlright?â Yuta asked, stepping closer until he could slide an arm around the small of your back.
âYeah, Iâm fine. Itâs just been⌠a long day,â you breathed.
He nodded in understanding and led you to the blue SUV parked among a cluster of cars. He walked you around to the passenger side and touched the door handle. When the car sensed the key fob, the doors unlocked and he opened the door, helping you slide up onto the seat before walking around to the other side and climbing in.
- - - -
Yuta paved the way up the steps leading to the front door of your small house, keys in hand. You followed closely behind, but didnât stop him as he pulled open the screen door and stabbed the key into the lock, turning it until it clicked. He pushed the door open and stepped back, holding the screen door with his body, but leaving room for you to step past him into the house.
Your Australian Shepherd, Squirrel, greeted you as soon as she saw you, dancing around your legs and letting out small little yips of excitement as she went round and round. You heard Yuta pull the door closed and locking it as you slid out of your shoes, placing them by his at the door before bending to pet Squirrelâs furry head.
âAre you absolutely sure youâre ok?â Yuta asked for the thousandth time.
You rolled your eyes, sick of the same question over and over.
âIâm fine, I promise. Youâre the one Iâm worried about! You were the one dragging those kids out!â
He let out a sigh and opened his mouth to say something before seeming to decide better of it.
âLetâs just admit that we could both use some time to process what happened,â he said.
You let your arms fall, shoulders relaxing. You hadnât even realized they were tensed.
âCan we take a nap?â you asked quietly.
Without responding, he grabbed your hand and led you into the master bedroom that was currently messier than you liked, though at the moment you didnât care. You let Yuta guide you to the well-made bed where you wasted no time in stretching out across the duvet, letting out a small groan as your back molded against the bed, your eyes slipping closed as you took in the comfort of the mattress. You didnât open your eyes as the bed dipped in and Yutaâs body fell back beside yours. You simply shuffled closer until you wound your dress pants through his slacks, letting your ankle rest over his. His arms wound around your waist, letting his hand slide up the inside of your shirt and press against your back. You let out a small, happy sigh and Squirrel reclaimed her usual spot behind your legs.
âWhen I walked that kid out of the bathroom, I could see you visibly trembling. Then when you got hit⌠I didnât know what to think or do,â he mumbled.
You let your head rest against his chin, lifting your face up gently to press a small kiss against the underside of his chin.
âIâm alright as long as youâre there. I was worried youâd get hurt, but just seeing you there felt so much better than being alone.â
His hand firmly pulled you closer, his arm tightening around your waist.
âAnd I will always be there,â he whispered.
He tilted his face down and captured your lips in a tender, soft kiss that made you remember just how much you loved the man.
âTomorrow will be better, Coach Nakamoto,â you said when he pulled away.
He smiled against your lips.
âMuch better, Mrs. Nakamoto.

[12:16 PM] "You know, one of my students said the funniest thing today," you tell teacher!Jaehyun, who works at the same elementary school as you. With a chuckle on your lips, you continue. "She said 'Mr. Jung likes you.'" As you're spending your lunch period with Jaehyun in your classroom, you take your sandwich from your lunch sack, raising it to your mouth to eat. Jaehyun sets his soda down on your desk. "Yeah, first graders do say the funniest things." You nod at his statement, but continue to look at him as a shy look emerges on his face. "But she's right, Mr. Jung does like you."

something sweet, a peach tree (mark/jaehyun)
ââMark begins the summer after his junior year with an unpaid internship and no other plans. But when he agrees to go pick his baby niece up from her music lessons, her teacher, Jeong Jaehyun, catches his eye. Too bad heâs off limits, and not just because Markâs niece is involved. Jaehyun is 41 to Markâs 20.
To sate his curiosity about older men, Mark decides to look into becoming a sugar baby. He could use the money, after all. And he seems to find a willing patron right away. But for the first time in Markâs like, he finds he might be in over his head.
Chapter 3  | prev   next   mlist
Characters:Â Mark, Jaehyun, other members of nct throughout
Genre:Â romance, angst, smut, age gap, sugar daddy!au
Pairing:Â Mark/Jaehyun
Warnings:Â AGE GAP (older jaehyun, younger mark), alcohol mentions, poor decision making perhaps
Rating:Â Explicit
Length:Â 8.2k
Mark wakes in an unfamiliar bed with a beautiful man beside him. He panics for two seconds, and then remembers yesterday and sinks back down into the mattress, waiting for his heartbeat to slow. Right. Sugar daddy date. Jaehyun.Â
They ended up ordering pizza and watching Netflix while they ate last night and then turned in before the sky had even gone completely dark. But theyâd both been exhausted, and now Mark is glad. He feels well-rested for the first time in⌠well. A really long time, he thinks.
He rolls his head to the side, looking at Jaehyun. Heâs on his back, one arm flung out to the side, hand dangling off the edge of the bed, the other arm wrapped loosely around his own torso. Even in a worn cotton t-shirt, mouth slightly ajar and snoring softly, heâs still the prettiest person Mark has ever seen.
Anxiety rears in Markâs stomach, and he goes patting around for his phone. He finds it on the nightstand, and he unplugs it and checks his notifications. Nothing, just like there should be. Whoâs gonna find out, anyway? And why would it matter? Itâs not like anyone at work has any idea about (or any interest in) Markâs personal life. And his family doesnât track his location. And Johnny canât say anything to Mark now that heâs scored, so whatâs to worry about?
Itâs fine, he tells himself firmly, putting his phone down and rolling onto his side. Iâm an adult, anyway. I can fuck who I want.
He doesnât quite know how long he spends gazing at Jaehyun, thinking about the night before. He hopes Jaehyunâs up for round two (or three, or four) today, hopes he wonât have to face his real life until later in the afternoon. He likes the little bubble theyâre in, just him and Jaehyun and Jaehyunâs dogs and his pretty house and everything that Mark wants to try.
The sun finds a crack in the curtains and a beam of light dances across the bed sheets. Jaehyun draws in a deep breath and Mark snaps his eyes shut so heâs not caught staring.
Thereâs some rustling and a dip in the mattress, and then Mark feels Jaehyunâs hand on his cheek.
âI know youâre awake,â he says softly.Â
âHow?â Mark mumbles, firmly refusing to open his eyes.
âYour eyes keep trying to open,â Jaehyun replies.
Mark relents, blinking his eyes back open and giving Jaehyun a sheepish grin. âIâve been awake for a little while.â God, heâs pretty, he thinks to himself. He stretches his arms up, sighing, using it as an excuse to drape them over Jaehyunâs shoulders on the way back down. âGâmorning.â
âMorning,â Jaehyun replies quietly. âDoing okay?â
Mark resists the urge to roll his eyes. âIf I was gonna freak out, it wouldâve happened last night,â he says. âYeah, Iâm good. I donât regret it.â He leans closer. âDonât regret it at all.â Jaehyunâs leaning in, too; their noses bump but neither of them move to kiss. âDo you?â
Jaehyun gives a slight shake of his head. âAs long as you donât, no,â he says.Â
âYeah?â Mark whispers. âGood.â He finally presses his lips to Jaehyunâs, soft and chaste at first, then more insistent when Jaehyun kisses him back.
âMm, Mark,â Jaehyun hums between kisses.Â
Mark pulls himself closer, keeping his movements lax and slow. He wants to climb on top of Jaehyun and pin him down and kiss him until theyâre breathless and messy with spit, but heâs too tired to actually do it. It does register as a little funny that the desire is still there, thoughâMark kind of thought maybe heâd be a little less insane about Jaehyun once heâd fucked him, but heâs not finding that to be true. Actually, itâs the exact opposite. He pushes his tongue past Jaehyunâs teeth, moaning mostly for show, sneaking his left arm around his waist instead, splaying his fingers over his spine. He can feel the heat of Jaehyunâs body now where itâs touching his, his soft thighs against Markâs, hisâ
âHyung,â Mark laughs softly when they break apart, rolling his hips up to meet Jaehyunâs just so thereâs no way he can deny it. âYouâre hard.â
âSoâre you,â Jaehyun accuses, which is completely fair. âGuess we should do something about that.â
âGuess we should.â Mark kisses him again, working to disentangle their limbs somewhat. He kisses Jaehyunâs chin, his neck, his collarbone as he scoots himself down. âLemme suck you off?â he asks, though heâs pretty sure he knows Jaehyun will say yes. âYou wonât have to do anything.â His fingers are already on the waistband of Jaehyunâs underwear, but Jaehyun is nodding anyway. Mark pushes Jaehyunâs shirt up and kisses his stomach before tugging his underwear down just far enough for his cock to spring free.Â
He wasnât just saying shit yesterdayâMarkâs good at sucking cock and he knows it. He dips his head, swirling his tongue around Jaehyunâs tip and smiling to himself when Jaehyun gasps quietly. He anchors himself to Jaehyun with a hand on his hip, dropping his mouth open wider to take him deeper, reaching his other hand down to palm himself over his underwear. The heat quickly grows stifling, with Mark pressed so close to Jaehyun and halfway under the blankets, but he doesnât care.Â
Jaehyun tangles his fingers in Markâs hair; Mark thinks heâs using both hands. Mark hollows his cheeks, humming in the back of his throat when Jaehyun chokes out a quiet moan. He swipes his tongue slowly, running it side to side over the veins of Jaehyunâs cock. A sort of light static fills his head. He can smell Jaehyun, the earthy dampness of his skin; can taste him, the precome spilling out onto his tongue. Jaehyun, Jaehyun, Jaehyun. Everything else Mark knows is crowded out until only Jaehyun remains. He rolls his hips up into his palm, his heart pounding in his ears as he bobs his head. The obscene wet noises are only somewhat muffled by the duvet crumpled around Jaehyunâs hips.
It feels quiet to Markâs ears. The house is still, the air sort of soft and sleepy, like the world is only just waking up, slow and lazy. Thereâs a sort of serenity to it, even if what theyâre doing is messy and lewd. Mark breathes in, out, pressing his heel down against his own cock and feels wetness seeping through the fabric. The rush of his breath lulls him; he moans softly around Jaehyun. Who cares if itâs messy and lewd? Who cares about any of it, except that Mark is happy, warm with pleasure, and that Jaehyun is too?Â
âOh, fuck,â Jaehyun breathes, grip on Markâs hair tightening and making his scalp burn. âFeels so good, baby.â Mark only responds by moving faster, taking Jaehyun a little deeper each time. He relaxes around the intrusion, taking a few deep, steadying breaths through his nose as he goes. His gag reflex rears its head for a few frightening moments, and then he feels the tip of Jaehyunâs cock bump against the back of his throat.
Mark lets his eyes roll back in his head, dutifully hollowing his cheeks once more and holding Jaehyun there. He exhales sharp, short puffs through his nose; Jaehyunâs pubes are tickling him a little, but not enough that he thinks heâs in danger of sneezing.Â
âHoly shit, Mark,â Jaehyun mumbles when Mark still doesnât move. âYou sure youâre not gonna pass out?â Mark pauses briefly to give a minuscule shake of his head. âF-fuck, okay,â Jaehyun continues shakily. âI-Iâm getting close, I think, canâcan you swallow?â Mark nods as enthusiastically as he can, accidentally picking up the pace a little in the process. âOkay, if you need to pull off just tap my thigh or something, okay?â
Mark hums his agreement, but he doubts heâll need it. He knows what heâs doing. He keeps the same rhythm, timing his breaths as best he can, rocking his hips up into his palm mindlessly, so focused on Jaehyun heâs barely realized how close he is himself. It shouldnât be surprising, reallyâJaehyunâs making sweet noises above him, whining softly every time Mark takes him as far down as heâll go. Mark knows his throat is going to be sore, but itâs so, so worth it, especially now, as Jaehyunâs moans get louder and louder, as he releases Markâs hair to scrabble weakly at the sheets.Â
âFuck, oh fuck, Mark, so good, Iââ He cuts himself off with a soft cry, and Mark feels hot, sticky release hit the roof of his mouth. Mark swallows just like he said he would, slowing to a stop and rolling his tongue over Jaehyunâs tip instead to stop his come from shooting straight down his throat.Â
Itâs the combination of things, of the rough friction of his underwear and the weight of Jaehyunâs cock in his mouth and Jaehyunâs breathless moans and Jaehyunâs come on his tongue and Jaehyunâs scent in his headâMark canât help it. He gives a muffled groan, shuddering as he comes in his underwear. Itâs fucking gross and kind of embarrassing, but Mark canât find room for shame inside him when it feels so good.
âBaby,â Jaehyun gasps softly, coaxing his softening cock out of Markâs mouth. âDid you just come, too?â
Mark rolls onto his back, panting, pushing the blankets down so he can breathe, hand still over his cock so he doesnât stain Jaehyunâs sheets. âSorry,â he manages. âI was already so close, and you sounded so good, I couldnâtâstop myself.â
Jaehyun scoots closer, propping himself up on one elbow so Mark can see him. Heâs wearing a look of amused disbelief. âYou donât have to apologize to me,â he mutters, shaking his head. He reaches out with his other hand and brushes Markâs sweaty bangs off his forehead. Mark has to trap an embarrassing whimper in his throat. Jaehyun treats him so gently when heâs least expecting it, and he doesnât know what to do with it. âThatâs really hot, you know?â Jaehyun continues. âYou, getting off on giving me head.â The end of this last sentence is tinged bright with suppressed laughter, and Mark smiles up at him.Â
âI like the way you sound when Iâm touching you,â he replies softly, and Jaehyun groans, rolling away.
âI donât have another round in me, so donât try, because itâll probably kill me,â he complains, and Mark laughs with his whole belly. âI donât have stamina like you do.â
âYeah, and then Iâd go to jail for elder abuse,â Mark replies placidly, closing his eyes.
âShut up,â Jaehyun says, but heâs laughing, too. The bed dips and then releases again, and Mark hears shuffling. Jaehyun mustâve stood up.
âYouâre the one who was just saying how old and tired you are,â Mark points out. Thereâs a hand on his wrist; he snaps his eyes open, surprised.
âCâmon, letâs get up.â Jaehyun has already made it around to Markâs side of the bed. He tugs gently. âUp, and give me your underwear.â
Mark pushes the blankets out of the way, letting Jaehyun haul him into a sitting position. He raises an eyebrow at him. âThought you said you didnât have another round in you,â he says, swinging his legs over the side of the mattress and slips down onto the floor.
âNot for that, so we can throw them in the wash and have them dry before you need to leave,â Jaehyun says, that cute pink blush rising to his cheeks, though heâs adamantly holding his hand out for them all the same.Â
Mark grins to himself as he steps out of his underwear. âLet me hand-wash them in the shower first,â he says.
They get cleaned up, find Mark some sweatpants to wear in the meantime, and start the laundry like Jaehyun suggested. Jaehyun lets the dogs out briefly while Mark watches from the back stoop, grinning at Princess when she takes off, running in circles as Jaehyun picks up after them. Dogs taken care of, they all come back inside and head into the kitchen to see about breakfast.Â
âAs I said, Iâm not much of a cook,â Jaehyun says as he rummages through his cupboards, âbut I do have pancake mix and I donât think the berries I bought on Friday have molded yet, so we could do that.â
Mark huffs out a breath of laughter. âWorks for me,â he says, resisting the urge to wrap his arms around Jaehyun and squeeze his breath out. Mark always knew Jaehyun was hot, but he wasnât expecting him to be cute, too, unintentionally endearing in the most paralyzing way. âCan I help? I mean, I dunno if you should trust me around a stove, honestly, but I could make us coffee or something.â
Jaehyun chuckles at this as he plops the bag of pancake mix onto the counter. âSure,â he agrees. âCoffee is in that little pantry there, coffee maker just needs some water. Do you want something else, though?â
âI take a little coffee sometimes,â Mark says. âBut if you have juice, Iâll have that too.â
âOrange juice is in the fridge,â Jaehyun says, and Mark nods, busying himself with the coffee machine.
They fall into a comfortable silence. The morning light streams in through the big windows that face out to Jaehyunâs backyard, coloring the whole kitchen a bright, happy yellow. Princess sniffs around their feet, hopeful for crumbs, while The Dread Pirate Roberts munches away at their automatic feeder. The coffee maker burbles softly as Mark pokes around for mugs and creamer; on the other side of the kitchen, Jaehyun scrapes patiently at the pancake mix, folding it into the milk and egg mixture as he waits for the pan to heat.Â
And for one second, Markâs life feels still, full and quiet and warm. Obviously, he and Jaehyun are just fucking. They know that. And itâs not like Mark is in any danger of falling in love with him or anything, butâthis is nice. Itâs like a glimpse into his own future. Not now, not yet; heâs not ready. But someday, heâll have this: a familiar body next to his, working beside him, building a life slow but sure, one pancake at a time. Something separate from the gogogo of professional life, something rich and intangible, something for no one else but Mark and the person heâll love.Â
âDo you want sugar in yours?â Mark asks when the light on the coffee maker turns green, pulling himself out of his thoughts.Â
âJust a little, and a splash of creamer, please,â Jaehyun replies over his shoulder.Â
Mark makes their coffees, filing that information away for future reference. He gives himself a tiny mug, then carries them over to the little breakfast nook in the corner before doubling back to get a glass of orange juice, too. He spots the blueberries as heâs returning the carton and holds them up for Jaehyun to see.Â
âThese berries?â Jaehyun nods. âIâll wash them.â
Together, they finish making breakfast and setting the table, then get settled in their seats, passing the syrup and whipped cream back and forth. The dogs come trotting up; Mark giggles when he feels Princessâs cold nose against his ankle.Â
âThank you for the coffee,â Jaehyun says.
Mark shakes his head. âNo, thanks for cooking! These look really good.â
Jaehyun smiles into his coffee cup. âSo,â he says slowly. âWhatâs the plan for today, do you think?â
âOh,â Mark says, surprised itâs up to him. âI dunno. I donât have anything to do, so, uh, you tell me.â
Jaehyunâs smile grows. âWell, the dogs need walking,â he says. âBut other than that, I thought maybe we could just spend the day. Cool off in the pool, maybe. Get to know each other a little better.â Mark raises his eyebrows. âLiterally, not like that.â Mark gives him another look. âOkay, maybe both. But seriously. I know thisââ Jaehyun gestures between them. ââis pretty casual, but I donât want that to mean itâs impersonal.â
âYeah, I agree,â Mark says earnestly. âIâd likeâIâd like to know you, too.â He doesnât know why itâs embarrassing to say, but he trips over the words.Â
But Jaehyunâsweet, unassuming Jaehyunâjust keeps smiling. âGood,â he says softly, and takes a bite of his pancakes.Â
They finish their breakfast, leaving the dishes in the sink to soak, and then Jaehyun finds the leashes for the dogs. He hands Mark Princessâs.Â
âSheâs easier than Bobby,â he explains when Mark gives him a curious look. âShe has a lot of energy, but she knows how to heel. Bob⌠kind of has a mind of his own.â
Mark laughs as he shoves his feet into his sneakers. âI suppose I couldâve guessed that.â
Itâs not even noon, but the hot air sweeps into Markâs face in a violent blast the second Jaehyun opens the door. âDefinitely using the pool today,â Jaehyun comments, putting his sunglasses on as he steps outside. âSeattle never used to get this warm.â
âSo Iâve heard,â Mark replies, following him outside and stepping out of the way so Jaehyun can lock the door behind them. âBut werenât summers really rainy?â
âThey still are,â Jaehyun says. He leads them down the front path and out onto the sidewalk. âItâs a fun mix now. Letâs just hope August doesnât bring too many fires. Is this your first summer here?â
âUh, yeah,â Mark says. âI just go to school here. The last couple years I was backâup in Canada. Vancouver.â
Jaehyun nods. âThat explains the passport.â
Mark had forgotten about that. âYeah, Iâll probably have to carry it with me even if I do get a license âcause apparently a Canadian license is really popular for fakes around here.â
âIâd never heard that, but that makes sense now that you mention it,â Jaehyun comments. âSo, Vancouver. I went once when I was younger. Itâs really nice up there.â
âYeah,â Mark agrees. âI actuallyâso, I was born in Toronto, and then we moved to New York when I was, like, seven, and then over to Vancouver when I was around twelve. I donât have the clearest memory of Toronto, but I still really do like Vancouver the best.â
âOh, okay,â Jaehyun says. âSo youâve been all over. Like me.â
âYeah?â Mark looks up at him, curious.Â
âMm-hm.â Jaehyun nods. âI was born in Korea, then we actually moved to Connecticut when I was in elementary school, which is where I learned my English. We went back to Korea for the rest of my education, including college, but I came back to the States for my mastersâNew York, actually.âÂ
Mark tries to do some fast math, but concludes they probably werenât in New York at the same time. âAnd thenâhere?â he asks.Â
âYeah, people are big on the environment out here, so I found some investors and got started on my company after getting my degree,â Jaehyun says. âI was, what, twenty-four? Twenty-five, I think.âÂ
âOh wow,â Mark says, wiping some sweat from his hairline. If it werenât for the intermittent shade of the trees lining the street and the promise of an afternoon soaking in Jaehyunâs pool, heâs pretty sure heâd melt into a puddle right here on the sidewalk. He kind of feels like heâs frying. âSo youâve been here for a while, then.â
âYep,â Jaehyun confirms. âAlmost twenty years.â
âSo you like it here,â Mark says.Â
Jaehyun laughs. âI guess I do,â he says. âI think when I get older, I might want to go backâto Korea. But yes, I like it here. The seasons are pretty mildâwell, they used to be, anyway. And the culture is definitely better than on the East Coast, to me. And I love how green it is.â
Mark nods. âYeah, itâs beautiful,â he agrees. âHave you been out to, like, the Peninsula and the islands and stuff?â
âI go from time to time,â Jaehyun says. âHave you?â
âYeah, I went out to, like, Forks and stuff for spring break this last year.â They round another block, and Mark can see Jaehyunâs house come into view again. Relief washes through his body. He knows heâs not the only one; he can hear Princess panting raggedly beside him. âIt was so pretty. I loved the rainforest. And the night skyâway less light pollution, you know.â
âYeah, thereâs nothing else like it,â Jaehyun says. He slows as they come up to his front walk, though The Dread Pirate Roberts tugs insistently on his leash. âWell, maybe we can find a time to go this summer if you have a weekend free,â he suggests, glancing briefly over his shoulder while they climb the stairs up his porch. âThere are these beautiful cabins I really like up by Lake Quinault.â
Mark tries not to get distracted by the thought of spending a whole weekend alone with Jaehyun in an idyllic lakeside cabin. âI-Iâd love that,â he says. âReally.â
âIâll do some research then,â Jaehyun replies, opening his door and letting them into the blessed cool of the air conditioning.Â
âFuck,â Mark groans, kicking off his shoes and bending to help Princess out of her harness. âItâs scorching out.â
âWell,â Jaehyun says, releasing The Dread Pirate Roberts and letting him scamper down the hall, âitâs about noon now, so we can wait out the worst of the heat inside, and then later when the sunâs not so bad, we can take a swim. I can lend you some swim trunks. I have beer if you want it.â
âThatâs illegal,â Mark points out, grinning. âYeah, that sounds great.â
âAnd I think I have popsicles, too,â Jaehyun adds, padding off towards the kitchen and gesturing for Mark to follow. âWant one?â
âYes, please,â Mark says. âWhat kind?â
âLime or strawberry.â Jaehyunâs voice is muffled from behind the freezer door.Â
âIâll take lime,â Mark says, and Jaehyun presents him with a faintly green popsicle, a bright red one in his other hand.Â
They collapse onto the couch in tired silence, working on their popsicles as they wait to cool down. Mark squints out at the backyard. The sun glitters off the surface of the water, almost dangerous.Â
âWhat do you normally do on the weekend?â Mark blurts.Â
Jaehyun takes a moment to respond, caught by surprise. âI guess⌠I take care of my dogs. I work out. I usually have some business to take care of. I was on a lot of calls yesterday morning, butââ He pulls out his phone to check. ââtodayâs been pretty quiet.â He shrugs, swirling the popsicle in his mouth. Mark tries not to look at his lips. âI donât know,â he says, looking up at Mark with a small smile. âI guess I donât do much.â
âDo you mind me askingâI mean, okay, I am asking but if you donât wanna talk about it, Iâll just drop it,â Mark says haltingly. âItâs just that, youâre successful and youâre rich and youâreâyouâre really handsome, and you seem, I guess, like, normal and niceââ Jaehyunâs giving him a look that says get on with it. Mark hesitates for a second, choking on the question, then rushes on. âSo why arenât you married? Or dating? Why areâwhy the sugar baby app instead?â
Jaehyun blinks; his smile turns a little sad. Guilt grips Markâs heart immediately. âS-sorry,â he mutters, looking down at his lap. âThat came out ruder than I meant it. I justââ Youâre beautiful. Youâre perfect. You could have anyone. What are you doing with a kid like me?Â
Jaehyun sighs softly, shaking his head. âNo, itâs okay,â he says. âLooking for skeletons in my closet?âÂ
âI⌠I guess,â Mark replies. âI just donât⌠understand.â
âThereâs not much to understand,â Jaehyun says. âItâs a cliche, but itâs true. Iâm married to my work. Iâm too busy for a real relationship. Andââ A wry tint mixes in with the sadness. âI think Iâve gotten a little too used to solitude. I donât know how to do anything else.â
âOh.â Itâs sadder than Mark was expecting, butâwhat else could he have been expecting, anyway? âDo you⌠do you want a real relationship?â
âI donât know,â Jaehyun says evenly, but Mark gets the feeling heâs lying. He canât tell which direction heâs lying in, though. âWhy do you ask?â
âOh,â Mark says, his cheeks heating. Maybe it sounds like heâs trying toâget with him, or something. âNo, Iâm just curious, âcause I donâtâI donât really know what I want, either, I guess. I think I want to get married eventually. But Iâm not sure. I canât imagine it.â
The warmth in Jaehyunâs smile comes back. âWhat do you imagine?â he asks.Â
Mark thinks for a moment, then smiles sheepishly back at him. âI guess I imagine myself kind of like you,â he admits. âA good job. A couple of dogs. A place of my own. Yeah.â
Jaehyun laughs. âWell, itâs not so bad,â he says. âIf thatâs what you want, then do it. And youâre young still. If you want to change your mind in a few years, you can.â
âThatâs true,â Mark says, struggling with the last of his popsicle as it threatens to slip off the stick entirely.Â
Jaehyunâs polishing his off, too. âHere,â he says, holding out his hand for Markâs stick when he finally succeeds in fitting the rest of the popsicle in his mouth. âI want a beer. Can I get you one?â
Mark nods, handing off the popsicle stick. âYef plea,â he manages, and Jaehyun giggles.Â
They nurse their beers over the next hour or so, chatting. The dogs come join them, Princess panting happily at Markâs side as he gives her head scratches, Bobby taking over Jaehyunâs lap. Jaehyun talks about his company, how it started with pianos and violins and guitars but how heâs interested in expanding to woodwinds and things. Mark tells him about his internship, how he dreams of being a writer but more likely will end up an editor at a publishing company or something.Â
âDunno what Iâll do with my music,â he says. âGot any openings at your company?â Heâs only half joking.Â
Jaehyun laughs lightly but shakes his head. âNow that would be inappropriate,â he says, and Mark groans good-naturedly.
âCâmon, man,â he complains, grinning.Â
âOkay, looks like the temperature is starting to come down,â Jaehyun says, standing up and carefully depositing Bobby on the floor. âShall we?â
âOh, yes.â Mark takes the final swig of his beer and stands, too, giving Princess one last pat before following Jaehyun to the stairs. In all their talking, heâd forgotten about the pool and the heat outside.
Jaehyunâs already in his room by the time Mark makes it up the stairs. Heâs rummaging through his dresser, and produces two pairs of swim trunks a few moments later. âBlue or black?â
âBlue,â Mark says, reaching out for them.Â
They change quickly, leaving their other clothes on the floor. Mark takes his gaze over Jaehyunâs bare back, the contours of sturdy muscle, the line of his waist. Desire returns in an instant, curling up in Markâs belly like a little cat. It blinks lazily at him, asks, well? What else are you here for?
âI know I have sunblock somewhere,â Jaehyun is muttering, poking his head into the bathroom. âAha.â He returns with a can of the spray-on kind in one hand and a bottle of gentler lotion for their faces in the other. âLetâs go downstairs.â
ââKay,â Mark agrees vacantly, too busy staring at Jaehyunâs pretty chest, covered with little bruises from Markâs own mouth to give a proper response.
They pass the stuff for the face back and forth as they head to Jaehyunâs back door. Jaehyun also snags a six-pack from the fridge, then unlocks the door and leads them out into the oppressive heat.Â
Thereâs a minifridge outside, too, behind the little bar on the patio. Jaehyun slides the six-pack into the bottom shelf, then straightens. âHere,â he says, holding up the spray can of sunscreen. âIâll get your back, and then you can do mine.â
Mark turns obediently, wincing at the sudden cold of the spray on his heated skin. He hears the clatter of the can being set down on the countertop, and then Jaehyunâs hands are on his back, smoothing in the sunscreen, kneading at some tension in his shoulders.Â
And then, lips on the nape of his neck. Jaehyun kisses him softly before pulling away. âOkay, my turn.â
Markâs legs kinda feel like jelly, but he manages to turn and grab the sunscreen from the bar. He sprays some sunscreen on, then presses his palms to Jaehyunâs back. His skin here is smooth and unmarred, and Mark resists the urge to dig his nails in, just to hear him gasp. Theyâll have plenty of time for that later.Â
âAll done,â he says once the streaks are gone, letting his hands linger a moment longer before pulling himself away. His voice comes out a little hoarser than usual.
If Jaehyun notices, he doesnât say anything. While he puts the rest of his sunscreen on, Mark ducks back inside to get another beer, figuring heâll leave the six pack outside for when they donât want to drip all over Jaehyunâs nice hardwoods. When he returns to the heat of the patio, Jaehyun is wading into the pool.Â
âMake sure the door is closed tight,â he calls to Mark when he sees him. âI donât want the dogs to run amok. Weâll let them out when itâs a little cooler so they donât give themselves heat exhaustion.âÂ
Mark double-checks the door, laughing to himself. Who the fuck says ârun amokâ? And Mark thought he was the one with the weird vocabulary.Â
He pops the beer open at the bar, takes a quick swig, and then works on his own sunscreen. By the time heâs done and sauntered out towards the pool, beer in hand, Jaehyun is floating in the deep end.Â
Mark wades in, holding the beer up just in case and stays close to the edge as he makes his way to Jaehyun. He puts the beer down on the patio and joins Jaehyun in floating near the middle. Jaehyunâs watching him, smiling.
âWhat,â Mark asks softly.
âYouâre cute,â Jaehyun says simply, dimple popping.
âMe?â Mark blinks at him. âLike how?â
Jaehyun shrugs, sending ripples of water out from his shoulders. âJust, the way you do things. The way you waded in. You put your beer down so careful. The way youâre looking at me, now.â Mark must look as puzzled as he feels, because Jaehyun laughs. âBig, wide eyes.â
âOh.â Mark is flustered now, not sure how to respond. âThanks, I think.â
âI like it,â Jaehyun says, sensing his unease and paddling closer till their shoulders knock. âReally.â
âItâs just, um, I was kinda thinking the same thing about you,â Mark admits. âYouâre cute, too.â
Jaehyun groans. âI think Iâm a little too old to be cute.â
âMm-mm.â Mark flips over, slotting one of his legs between Jaehyunâs so he canât float away, using his arms to tread water. âYouâre cute when you blush, and when you giggle. Iâm serious, I was thinking it earlier, whenââ He sucks in a breath. âWhen I was fucking you. Youâreâyouâre cute when youâre getting fucked, too.â
Something flickers behind Jaehyunâs eyes, but he smiles easily all the same. âYou think so?â
Mark pushes himself closer. âYeah, I do,â he says. He doesnât know whatâs going on in Jaehyunâs head, but he knows how to make him forget it. Their noses bump, and Jaehyun giggles. âSee, there it is!â Mark rushes through the words so he can finally kiss him. Itâs a little unsteady since theyâre both still trying to stay afloat, but Mark doesnât care. His teeth bump Jaehyunâs, his upper lip throbbing from the impact, but he doesnât care. Jaehyun thinks heâs cute, and he makes Jaehyun giggle. Mark from two days ago wouldâve passed out and died from joy, probably. He presses closer still, though the water makes it difficult, Jaehyunâs skin soft against his own.Â
They pull away, chests heaving, watching each other over the surface of the water. Mark pants raggedly, waiting for the fog of pleasure to clear from his brain. Jaehyunâs hair is slicked back, water dripping down his forehead and jaw and neck. The world is still for a moment, just Mark and Jaehyun bobbing in the wake of their kiss, eyes never leaving each otherâs.
âIâm gonna get a beer,â Jaehyun says, smiling with one side of his mouth. He doesnât look away until Mark does, turning only after Mark goes back to the edge of the pool for his own beer, half-finished and warming in the sun. Mark clambers out of the pool from there, circling its edge and heading back into the shade where Jaehyun is bent over the mini-fridge. He must feel Mark come up behind him, or else be watching their reflections in the window, because without looking up, he asks, âNeed a refill?â
âNah, still working on this one,â Mark says, proving it by taking a sip.Â
Jaehyun stands, beer in hand, closing the door to the fridge. âThen what are you doing over here?â
Mark finds the bottle opener, putting his beer down on the counter and holding his hand out for Jaehyunâs. Jaehyun hesitates a moment, then passes it to Mark. âYouâre cute, but youâre also really hot,â he says quietly as he pops the cap off and hands it back. âGuess⌠I didnât want to let you out of my sight.â He holds onto the bottle even after Jaehyun takes it, releasing it after a second in favor of running his hand down Jaehyunâs arm. âYou look so good shirtless.â
Jaehyun gives him a warning look, but his amusement is poorly disguised. âAnd? Are you gonna do something about it?â He tips his head back to take a drink of the beer, but he keeps his eyes on Mark.
Mark runs his thumb over the muscle of Jaehyunâs bicep, looking at him through his eyelashes. Big, wide eyes. âI dunno,â he murmurs. âAre you gonna let me?â
Jaehyun presses his lips together, swallowing. âMmm, if you fuck me again, Iâm gonna be sore.â
âUgh.â Mark drops his hand, going back for his beer. âThat the only thing thatâs stopping you, hyung?â He half-sings the word hyung, drawing the syllable out. âCuz after dinner, you wonât see me âtil next weekend.â
Jaehyun steps up next to him and leans back against the bar, elbows up on the counter, talking to Mark almost over his shoulder. âIf it were up to me, and not the limits of my body,â he says softly. âIâd let you fuck me all day long.â
Mark groans, half earnest, half for show, taking his beer with him as he spins around to stand in front of Jaehyun, stepping close and trapping him against the bar. âYeah?â He leans close and presses a hot kiss to Jaehyunâs neck, right over his pulse, running his free hand down his waist.Â
âYeah.â Jaehyunâs voice is breathier than before, and Mark knows heâs won. He wonât fuck him, of courseâhe doesnât want to hurt him, and if Jaehyun says itâll hurt, then thatâs that. But Mark has other plans. He lets his hand travel lower, down to Jaehyunâs thighs, where his swim trunks are quickly drying in the afternoon heat. They donât cling to his skin, so itâs easy for Mark to sneak a hand under the hem. âMark.â This is a warning, though Markâs not quite sure why.
âWhat?â Mark asks, looking up at him and trying to arrange his expression into something doleful. âYour fence is high and you have a stupid huge backyard and tons of trees. No one can see.â
âI canât limp into music lessons tomorrow,â Jaehyun protests, though he makes no move to stop him when Mark inches his fingers up his thigh.
âNo? What if I fucked your thighs instead?â Mark asks, squeezing the soft skin, humming encouragingly when Jaehyun gasps. âHm? Would you be limping then?â
âYou that desperate for me, baby?â Jaehyun asks, all semblance of hesitance gone from his tone in an instant, replaced by a bright playfulness.
ââSânot desperate,â Mark counters around another drink of beer. Heâs getting near the bottom of the bottle now, and itâs getting pretty warm, and gross. Still, itâs getting the job doneâhis lips are numbing, and thereâs a tingling under his fingertips. âNot desperate,â he repeats, âyou just have really pretty thighs, hyung, did yâknow that? Been thinking about them all day.â
âOh, have you?â Jaehyun saturates his tone with incredulity.
Mark pulls his hand back, finding Jaehyunâs eyes. ââM being honest. I wanna fuck your thighs.â
Jaehyun blinks, then lets out a shaky breath. âFuck, okay,â he says. âThereâs aloe in the far drawer, that should be enough.â
Mark grins, leaning in for a kiss before releasing him, tugging the drawer open and finding the bottle. âThink one of your lounge chairs will hold both of us?"
âWeâll find out,â Jaehyun replies, and Mark laughs, looking up to see him crawling onto one, sitting on his knees, facing the back of the seat.
Mark saunters over, finishing his beer and tossing it in the recycling on the way over. He bends over so heâs eye to eye with Jaehyun. âSure itâs okay?â he asks quietly. âDonât mean tâ push, youâre just soââ
Jaehyun kisses him, and Mark nearly loses his balance. He grabs Jaehyunâs shoulder so he doesnât topple them both, kissing back once heâs sure his feet are gonna stay underneath him. Jaehyunâs hand finds Markâs waist, his hip bone, hisâ
âFu-uck,â Mark mumbles into Jaehyunâs mouth when he closes his hand over Markâs cock. Jaehyun strokes him over his swim trunks, dropping his jaw open wider so Mark can lick into his mouth. âMm, Jaehyun, ahââ He wrenches himself away. âYou wanna do this, or do you want me to come in my pants for the second time today?â
Jaehyun laughs, but his eyes are dark. âNo.â He drops his hand. âFuck my thighs.â
Mark exhales sharply, stepping to the side and coming around behind him. âYeah, okay,â he says. He gets onto the chair right behind Jaehyun, places a kiss between his perfect shoulder blades. âGonna let me use your body? Hyung?â He doesnât know why he uses hyung like a taunt, but it comes out low and pointed.
âMm-hm.â Jaehyun pushes himself up off his heels, bending over to balance on all fours instead.
Mark tugs Jaehyunâs shorts down to his knees and has to stop himself from staring, cracking open the aloe instead and squeezing some onto his palm. Itâs a little stickier than lube, but itâll definitely do the trick, so he coaxes Jaehyunâs legs a little wider and spreads it on his inner thighs, reaching forward to use the excess on Jaehyunâs balls and the underside of his cock.
âMark,â Jaehyun chokes when Mark wraps his hand around the base and strokes up.Â
âDonât want it to chafe,â Mark says, leaning over him so he can kiss the base of his spine. Itâs a shitty excuseâMarkâs big, but Jaehyunâs thighs are bigger. At most, his tip is going to make it to the other side, but Jaehyun drops his head and moans as Mark twists his wrist, clearly resigned.Â
Once heâs tortured Jaehyun enough, Mark pulls back and works his own shorts down his thighs, pulling his cock free. Heâs already half-hard thanks to Jaehyun groping him a few minutes ago, so he doesnât have to do much besides spread a little more aloe over the length of his cock before he puts the bottle aside and lines himself up behind Jaehyun. He has to take one knee off the lounge chair, planting his foot on the patio beside them instead to keep steady.Â
âReady?â he asks. Jaehyun nods. âKeep them tight for me, okay?â Another nod; Mark feeds his cock between the hot press of Jaehyunâs thighs, slick with aloe, and moans a little too loud.
âThey might not be able to see us, but people still have ears,â Jaehyun hisses, but heâs giggling as Markâs balls slap against the backs of his thighs.
âOh, fuck, thatâsââ Mark grabs Jaehyunâs hips with both hands, bending over and resting his forehead on Jaehyunâs back. âThatâs better than I thought it was gonnaâfuck, youâre so warm, hyung. Kinda feels likeââ He draws his hips back and pushes forward again, mouthing over Jaehyunâs spine, another moan forcing its way up his throat, quieter this time but just as embarrassing. âFeels like fucking a girl, mm, âs soft, and wet, ah, fuck, h-hyung, fuck.â
âIs it good, baby?â Jaehyun murmurs. âDoes it feel good, baby boy?â
Mark thinks maybe he blacks out for a second. He either stills, or his hips are moving by themselves, heâs not sure. He squeezes his eyes shut, letting out shuddering breath after shuddering breath. Baby boy. âJaehyun,â he thinks he whimpers. Whimpers. It should be mortifying, but one of Jaehyunâs hands is over his own, thumb sweeping over his knuckles. âOh, fuck, Jaehyun, lemme justââ
He snakes his other arm up until he finds purchase on Jaehyunâs chest, then pulls them both upright. Jaehyun gasps in surprise but goes pliantly, one hand flying up to grip Markâs wrist, the other scrambling backwards to hold himself up against Markâs thigh. Mark rests his cheek against the back of Jaehyunâs shoulder, pressing their bodies together and rutting up between Jaehyunâs thighs. With his other hand, he reaches around and takes hold of Jaehyunâs cock.
âMark, hah, careful,â Jaehyun manages.
âMm, I got you,â Mark says, slurs. Maybe heâs drunker than he thought. Or maybe itâs just Jaehyun, getting in his head and in his veins and making him slow with lust. âKeep your legs closed, hyung, you saidâyou said youâd let me use your body, right?âÂ
âYes,â Jaehyun whispers, slow. âBaby boy.â Mark groans, scraping his teeth over Jaehyunâs shoulder blade. âYou like that? You wanna be my baby boy?â
âYes,â Mark practically keens, maybe begs. âYesyesyes, please.â Heâs not sure why he likes it so much. Itâs just intimate and sweet and right. Heâs Jaehyunâs baby boy, and Jaehyun will give him everything he wants. His hips are moving without Mark even thinking about it, mindless chasing the gentle friction between Jaehyunâs legs. He refocuses on Jaehyunâs cock with the tiny fraction of his brain that hasnât been entirely corrupted by desire, thumbing at the slit. Wet noises fill the air, the sticky squelching of their bodies, but it just turns Mark on even more. Itâs so gross, but it doesnât matter because he and Jaehyun both want it, both like it.
âThatâs it, baby.â Jaehyun is shaking, Mark guesses from a mix of arousal and the exertion of keeping his legs pressed tight together for Mark. âLike that, so good. You gonna come?â
âMm, close,â Mark admits. His head swims. âPlease,â he whispers. âSayâsay it again.â
âCome for me, baby boy,â Jaehyun says, his voice sweet.Â
âFuck,â Mark groans, speeding his hips up. He thinks heâs digging his nails into Jaehyunâs chest, probably painfully, but Jaehyun doesnât complain. He thrusts forward, nosing at Jaehyunâs skin, breathing in his scentâchlorine from the pool, a hot hazy tinge from the sun, and underneath, clean body, something like sandalwood and teak. Jaehyun.Â
He doesnât even realize heâs coming at first until he pulls back a little too far and some of his release spatters up his stomach and across Jaehyunâs back. Jaehyun is murmuring encouragement still as Markâs hips slow, Mark panting hotly against his skin.Â
âShit, âm sorry,â Mark groans when he comes back to himself a little and realizes he paused, mid-stroke, and that Jaehyun is still hard in his palm.Â
Jaehyun fucking giggles, of course. âItâs okay,â he says. âLet go so I can turn around.â
Mark releases him, and Jaehyun manages to maneuver himself around so that heâs facing Mark, sitting down and leaning back in the chair.
âYouâre sitting in my come,â Mark comments breathlessly as he reaches for his cock.
âIâm covered in it already, anyway,â Jaehyun points out, which Mark has to admit is a pretty good argument.
âGross, hyung,â he says regardless, sitting down between Jaehyunâs legs and ducking his head to take the tip of his cock in his mouth.
Between both of Markâs hands and his mouth, Jaehyun comes only a few short minutes later, curled over himself with his fingers tangled in Markâs hair, pretty little moans spilling over his perfect lips. Mark strokes him through the aftershocks, the last of his release dripping down Markâs knuckles and onto the already stained cushion as Mark surges up, kissing Jaehyun so he can taste himself on Markâs tongue.
âOh, shit,â Jaehyun mutters when they pull apart. Another giggle. âIâm never getting those stains out. Iâm gonna have to buy new ones.âÂ
Mark slaps his hand over his mouth, but it doesnât stop the laughter from bubbling up out of his chest. âSorry,â he gasps out, and Jaehyun smacks him painlessly with an open palm. âYou could just flip them over.âÂ
âNo, thatâs fucking disgusting!â

They run around the backyard with the dogs after they clean up, and then eventually order dinner and eat that out on the patio too as the air cools and the sun begins to set, steadily sobering up. As the sky begins to color, Jaehyun gathers their trash and pulls Mark to his feet.
âCâmon,â he says. âItâs time to get you home.â
Mark retrieves his underwear from the dryer and the rest of his clothes from Jaehyunâs bedroom, retrieves his phone from the kitchen, and shoves his feet into his shoes. Jaehyun waits patiently, keys in hand.
âSo,â Mark says, taking his time with his laces. âNext weekend?â
Jaehyun grabs his phone out of his back pocket and brings it down in front of him so Face ID activates. âIâll put my number in your phone,â he says. âWe donât need that app anymore.â
Mark panics for a second, wondering if his text thread with Johnny is visible, but a second later, his phone is back in his pocket without any further commentary. âOkay,â he says, standing.
Jaehyun opens the door, watching the dogs while Mark slips past. âBut yes, next weekend,â he says, stepping out onto the porch as well and locking the door behind them. âI can come pick you up Friday after work, if thatâs good for you?â
Mark nods, then realizes he probably canât see him as heâs already out on the driveway. âYeah, thatâs good for me. I should get off around 5, so any time after 5:30 is good.â
Jaehyun unlocks his car and they both get in. âSounds good,â he agrees. âIf the weatherâs not too bad on Saturday, I was thinking we could take the dogs for a hike. I know a nice trailânot too hard, and really pretty.â
âIâm game,â Mark says. âItâll probably be good for me, I havenât really been working out since school ended.â
Jaehyun laughs. âWell, I donât think you need to worry too much,â he says wryly as he starts the car and pulls out onto the street. âYouâre in pretty good shape.â
Mark grins. âThanks.â
They chat about nothing as Jaehyun makes the drive across the city to Markâs place. Too soon, heâs pulling up in the loading zone in front of the doors. Jaehyun turns his car off and bends forward, peering up at the building.
âThis is you?â he asks.
âUh, yeah,â Mark says.Â
âWhy do you need a sugar daddy?â Jaehyun straightens, but when Mark finds his eyes, his gaze isnât accusatory, just confused.
âRight, sorry, I kind of forgetâthis, my friendâs parents own this building, and theyâre giving me a massive discount,â Mark explains. Itâs Chenle, of course; his parents have a small real estate empire up and down the entire West Coast. âMy friends and I are living here next year for school, but Iâm in a studio right now since the unit Iâm gonna be sharing with a couple of my buddies is still occupied by this other family. So it looks like Iâm rich, but Iâm just lucky.â
Jaehyun laughs. âGot it,â he says. âSure youâre not a scammer?â
âI told you, I donât need your money,â Mark groans, and Jaehyun laughs some more.
âIâm teasing,â he says. âGo on, itâs getting late. You can give me a tour next time.â
âUh-huh!â Mark agrees, thinking immediately about how gross his place is since he hasnât cleaned it in weeks. âUh, text me if anything changes. And, um, have a good week. Probably shouldnâtâkiss, James mightâve paid the doorman to keep an eye on me.â
Jaehyun snorts. âYeah, okay,â he says. âHave a good week, Mark.â
Mark pops the door open, waving as he steps out onto the curb. âBye!â
He waits until Jaehyun rounds the corner and disappears before heading inside, then hurries up to his apartment and immediately starts cleaning. The sun has fully set by the time Mark is satisfied with the state of his room, dragging himself to bed and just barely remembering to set his alarm.
