Muyoon forgot about Yu-Irim for a while. He stumbled across the news about his coming out several more times, but that was it. He didn’t call Yu-Irim, he didn’t look for him, and he didn’t want to see him again. His regret about sex lasted only until he fell asleep that day.

His life went back to normal. The only thing that changed was that the medicine he used to take every day became stronger.

His head hurt because he hadn’t gotten used to the new medicine yet. Muyoon pressed down on his temples and took off his glasses that he wears only when working.

“Should I lower the medicine again?”

“No, I’ll get used to it soon. It was like that with the previous drug too.”

“If you’re having a hard time, I’ll call Dr.Cha.”

“No, it’s not that bad, so don’t make a fuss.”

“I’m sorry.”

He was a bit tense. There were already so many things to worry about, but his head was ringing, and he didn’t want any other disturbance. Muyoon rubbed his temples a few more times and leaned back in his chair. And as he closed his eyes, he heard a knock. Muyoon did not open his eyes and Secretary Yeo quietly left to the door.

“CEO, I heard that the edited version of the corporate advertisement that we filmed last time has been released.”

Secretary Yeo, who came back, said quietly. Muyoon opened his eyes, and Secretary Yeo looked at him cautiously. Muyoon narrowed his brows for a moment and pressed the bridge of his nose firmly. Then he picked up his glasses and put them back on. The secretary immediately went outside and called in the people who came to report.

People from the PR team entered his office, and the office lights dimmed.

“The concept of our promotional video is…”

As the obvious explanation was about to begin, Muyoon gestured to move on. Anyways, he was fully aware of the concept and image of Seogeum Group for promotion this year.

Those people who came to report were moving in a hurry. The lights in the office went off and the TV in front of the desk turned on. Muyoon leaned forward against the desk a little more and fixed his eyes on TV.

Yu-Irim’s voice, which was pleasantly low and slightly resonant, was heard through the narration. Muyoon lightly squeezed his hands and then opened it. He listened intently to the voice, which recited the catch phrase that he knew well.

When the voice stopped, the black screen turned white and the letters passed over, and only then can Yu-Irim’s face could be seen. And within seconds of seeing his face, Muyoon raised his hand, and the screen stopped right away.

The office lights up again. Muyoon narrowed his brows slightly.

“What’s the matter sir, Don’t you like it?”

“Is this the best outcome?”

“What…”

“I mean Mr. Yu-Irim, Is that the best look?”

What Muyoon says draws attention. Everyone looked as if they didn’t know what to answer. Secretary Yeo also tried to understand Muyoon’s mind as if he was taken back too.

It’s not that Muyoon doesn’t know what they are thinking. Yu-Irim’s appearance on the screen was definitely perfect. It was far more beautiful than what he had seen on the screen before. The director did a good job filming, he chose the best cuts, the editing was good, and even the narration voice was pleasant to hear. But, it was not enough for Muyoon.

The Yu-Irim that Muyoon saw that day was much more beautiful than that. The face of Yu-Irim smiling at him was even more astonishing than that, and made Muyoon’s fingertips numb. However, he didn’t feel that way from Yu-Irim on the screen right now. His voice was certainly so good that it tickled his fingertips as if scratching a peripheral nerve, but his appearance on the screen did not seem to capture even half of what he saw that day.

“Are you not satisfied with Yu-Irim’s acting?”

“Please reschedule the shooting.”

* * *

Since this morning, Muyoon has been carrying anticipation, joy, and a little fear together. He got out of the car on the same shooting set as last time, at the same time. The car was halfway inside the filming site, and Muyoon stepped right into the filming set without stepping on the soil.

What he expected the most as he entered the set was Yu-Irim’s annoyed expression. He was curious about his face, which was hard to see on the screen. And as Muyoon expected, Yu-Irim stood in the middle of the set with a frown. His manager was trying to say something, but he didn’t seem to listen.

Yes, he wanted to see that lively face. As soon as Muyoon saw Yu-Irim, he pressed down the corner of his mouth that was about to go up.

And while he was suppressing his laughter, Yu-Irim seemed to have discovered Muyoon. He glared at Muyoon.

Muyoon raised his hand slightly to greet him when his eyes met him, but Yu-Irim strode up this way.

“What kind of joke is this…!”

Yu-Irim, who came closer, raised his hand. He didn’t mean to hit. The height was about the collar, and Muyoon was willing to hold him by the collar if he could see the angry face of Yu-Irim up close. But not his attendants.

As Yu-Irim approached as if trying to grab Muyoon by the collar, a bodyguard standing behind him, dug in between them and pushed Yu-Irim’s chest. It wasn’t strong, but it was pushed to be quite impactful and spread the distance between them appropriately. Yu-Irim’s expression was more distorted, and Muyoon asked the bodyguard who blocked him to step aside for a while.

Yu-Irim did not try to grab Muyoon’s collar again, but the bodyguard still stood guard against him, and slightly backed away, wary of Yu-Irim.

“Isn’t it a job where you have to take care of people’s attention?”

“There was nothing wrong with the result. What the hell is this?”

“I’ll give you the proper money. What’s the problem? We will pay you more as you spend your time. Then there’s no problem, right?”

“So you’re saying that I’m the problem with the film when there is nothing wrong with it, and I have to reshoot it because me?

Muyoon looked down at Yu-Irim, who was slightly smaller than him. Yu-Irim was quite tall. It’s just that Muyoon was bigger. When Muyoon saw him standing with other actors, he looked quite big, and the last time he saw Yu-Irim sitting in a chair, he didn’t look small, but when he saw him standing face to face, he thought he was cute for no reason.

He shouldn’t have done that, but he kept laughing. He gently covered his mouth with his hand.

“Let’s go somewhere quiet and continue our conversation.”

Muyoon said, and Yu-Irim looked around. No matter how much he did, he couldn’t seem to show casually that he was screwing with the sponsor, Muyoon, in front of so many people

“You don’t have to follow me.”

“But, sir.”

“Can I be a babysitter?”

Yu-Irim said sarcastically, and secretary Yeo looked at him as if he didn’t like it. Muyoon looked at Yu-Irim and secretary Yeo for a while, then turned to Yu-Irim, and spoke first.

“I’ll catch up with you. Why don’t you go first?”

“Well, just around the corner, you’ll find my waiting room. Please come over there.”

Muyoon nodded lightly, and Yu-Irim pushed Muyoon’s attendants around him and slipped through them. The attendants, pushed by him in a snippy manner, looked at him as if they didn’t like him.

“CEO.”

“Injection.”

Instead of responding to the secretary, Muyoon took off his watch and said, and the secretary took out a metal case from his bosom.

“It’s the third time today. The amount of injections seems to be increasing too much in a few days.”

“I used a lot more than this in my twenties.”

“But now the medicine is twice as strong as it was then.”

Muyoon did not answer, and quickly put on his watch again after the injection. And then he followed the path of Yu-Irim.

A few bodyguards, and secretary Yeo tried to follow him right away, but Muyoon raised his hand to stop them and followed the path where Yu-Irim disappeared. Some of the filming staff were nearby, and when they saw Muyoon, they quickly left as if they were running away.

The corridor was short, dark and directly connected to the waiting room.

Muyoon stood right in front of the door with ‘Yu-irim’s waiting room’ written on it, and lightly knocked with his hand. Yu-Irim’s voice could not be heard. Instead, Yu-Irim, with a pretty annoyed expression, opened the door and grabbed his hand. It was the hand that had just been injected, and Muyoon narrowed his forehead slightly, but straightened it out immediately.

Yu-Irim pulled Muyoon’s hand roughly and dragged him into the waiting room.

There was not much difference between their physique, but Muyoon was definitely well-built. He had a natural appearance, but his body, which was managed by numerous experts, was solid and firm. On the other hand, Yu-Irim, a former model-turned-actor, had a solid but slim body. If Muyoon had held out to avoid being dragged away, he could have held on. However, he did not hold on, and just went inside following Yu-Irim’s hands.

“If you just had asked me to have sex, I would have done it. I don’t have any hobbies there, but I think I can embrace an omega like CEO.”

“I told you I didn’t want it that day.”

“And how many times have I seen you look at me with that excited, bewildered look?”

Muyoon holds his wrist firmly and looks at Yu-Irim approaching him with growling eyes. He was obviously smaller than him. Muyoon would be able to push him. But when he tried to push him out, it didn’t work. As soon as Muyoon realised that, he was able to smell Yu-Irim’s pheromones, which filled in the room.

“I don’t think that’s a very wise way.”

Muyoon pretended to be okay, but was actually little taken back. The smell of pheromones. He shouldn’t be able to handle it now.

“Are you upset that your inhibitors didn’t work? I’m sorry. That I’m a dominant Alpha.”

“The inhibitors are right, and it’s better not to use pheromones. The recent controversy…….”

“Are you going to have sex or not?”

Ignoring Mu-yoon’s words, Yu-Irim came a little closer, and Muyoon lost some composure. As Yu-Irim pushed him, he sat down on a worn-out leather sofa. Muyoon looked up at Irim while sitting on a leather sofa that smelled a bit musty. Yu-Irim was looking into his eyes as if piercing them, and a stinging sensation came up from the depths of his head. It felt as if his mind and body were going to melt down.

Muyoon swallowed a little. Perhaps because his throat was dry, his saliva was a little sticky and frothing. The end of his exhaled breath also trembled a little. And knowing his condition was the same as the man standing in front of him.

“I just hate having someone seize me and wield me.”

“… So, isn’t this job itself not suitable for you?”

“I know. That’s why I hate doing it.”

‘But why are you doing this?’

Muyoon was curious about it, but he couldn’t afford to hold on to that curiosity for long. And Yu-Irim didn’t seem to have any intention of releasing him.

“Are you going to have sex with me?”

The hand holding his wrist had more strength. The watch was pressed, and his hands were stuffy. And Yu-Irim’s face was too close. The muscles in his chest tighten, creating a tickling sensation. The tailbone trembled too. Muyoon blinked a few more times and swallowed. The smell got stronger than before.

“Mr. Seo Muyoon.”

That’s what his name sounds like. The mere mention of his name seemed to make Muyoon lose his fighting spirit. Yu-Irim’s voice was sweet, and his breath touched Muyoon’s earlobe as if caressing. His lips came close to his ears as if he could feel his body heat.

“I’ll hug you to the point where you can’t forget it, so let’s end it here.”

Yu-Irim whispered softly in the ear again. Muyoon trembled slightly at the sound of the voice going down the back of his neck. Yu-Irim’s voice was low and deep, with a few breathing sounds, and echoed repeatedly in Muyoon’s head. The temptation was so sweet.

‘What would it feel like to have sex with this guy?’

Muyoon thought of that question again. He clasped his hand tightly. Just like a middle school student in puberty, he had fantasies that made no sense, but he seems to be able to fulfill those fantasies.

He closed his eyes tightly. He shivered for a moment, and could feel Yu-Irim’s breathing mixed with laughter.

Muyoon let out a long trembling sigh, focusing all his attention on Yu-Irim. He then pushed Yu-Irim away. He grabbed him by the shoulder and pushed him hard to get up from his seat. He could feel the inside of his ass slightly wet.

“As I said before, I have no intention of doing it with Yu-Irim.”

And as soon as the words were over, the scent of Yu-Irim, which had filled Muyoon’s surroundings, disappeared at once. It disappeared in an instant, as if what happened a moment ago was a dream.

As soon as the scent disappeared, Muyoon felt the strength return to his trembling legs and felt a little relieved.

However, Yu-Irim frowned as if he couldn’t stand it, and flopped down on the sofa where Muyoon was sitting. Then, holding onto his forehead, he let out a shallow moan. Muyoon stared down at Yu-Irim.

“CEO Seo.”

“I’d appreciate it if you could call me Seo Muyoon like you did a while ago.”

“The thing I hate the most is feeling someone play with me.”

“Is that so?”

“But now I feel like you’re playing with me.”

“No.”

“What does it matter that you are not? Fuck. That’s how I feel.”

After saying that, he rummaged through his pockets and took out a cigarette. “Why are you doing this shit when you’re not even going to have sex?” His small grumbling voice was so full of complaints that Muyoon laughed a little and was able to find some relaxation.

A white, thin cigarette hung in Yu-Irim’s white hand, and he rummaged through his pocket again and took out a lighter to light it. His cheeks go hollow and the tip of his cigarette catches fire.

“So, are you really not going to have sex?”

“For now…it’s like that.”

“What do you mean for now, it’s like that again?”

He laughed incredulously and puffed at the cigarette smoke. Muyoon sat beside him as he watched the white cigarette smoke scatter through his red lips. He wore pretty heavy makeup for the shoot, but it suits him.

Yu-Irim inhaled the cigarette one more time, and then exhaled the smoke on Muyoon’s face. Muyoon didn’t react much, but he seemed to enjoy it.

“So why did you drag me here again when you don’t want to have sex with me? CEO Seo must have known that I didn’t like him very much, didn’t he?”

“I really didn’t like the film copy.”

“Did you really think my acting wasn’t good? I’ve been making a living from this.”

“No, rather than…”

“Rather than?”

“It was not as beautiful as the real thing. It didn’t justify your beauty.”

Yu-Irim opened his eyes wide for a moment. Muyoon did not avoid the gaze and looked at Yu-Irim, and Yu-Irim looked at Muyoon for a long time before bursting into laughter.

He laughed holding onto his stomach as if it was really too much fun, and then hurriedly extinguished the cigarette. Then he giggled, grabbed his stomach, crouched down, and exhaled.

Muyoon, who was a little flustered by Yu-Irim’s laughter, turned slightly, and Yu-Irim crouched to catch his breath, then turned his head to see Muyoon.

“Is that really the reason? really?”

“…yes.”

‘Is that so strange?’

Perhaps it was really funny, and Yu-Irim laughed a little more, wiping away the tears around his eyes. Then he stood up and reached out his hand to Muyoon. Muyoon didn’t know what it meant, so he looked at his hand and then looked up at Yu-Irim, who was standing in front of him.

“Give me your phone.”

“I’m not in charge of my phone.”

“You don’t even carry your phone?”

“Because I need to manage my schedule. It’s a caution not to make unnecessarily sudden appointments.”

“Did someone like that forcefully drag me into the photoshoot and bring me here?”

“Hmm, hmm. Well, I’m a human too, so……Sometimes it is.”

“So you don’t have a personal contact number?”

Muyoon shrugged his shoulders, and Yu-Irim withdrew his hand as if giving up.

He put his hand in the pocket of his clothes. Then, he alternately looked at Muyoon and the door of the waiting room.

“I’m leaving.”

“Are you done with your anger?”

“Well… I liked the reason. It really sucked last time, but this time it just sucks.

Then he approached the door, opened it, and looked back at Muyoon. Muyoon also rose from his seat and tried to go out through the door that Yu-Irim had left open. And the moment he was about to leave, Yu-Irim grabbed Muyoon’s shoulder. Muyoon stopped, and Yu-Irim smiled at him. It was so close, and Muyoon’s heart dropped at once.

“It’s still valid to have sex.”

* * *

This time, the director asked Muyoon if he could pick out the ones he liked among the filmed copies. But Muyoon refused. He knew that there was no way he liked anything about Yu-Irim’s appearance on the screen anyway.

The director was worried that he would have to reshoot again, but Muyoon had no intention of reshooting. It was just that the appearance of Yu-Irim in the first result was inferior to the image Muyoon knew of him, but it was not that he did not like it.

The director filmed quite carefully, and like last time, Yu-Irim didn’t leave midway through the filming saying he couldn’t do it, and he continued filming until the end.

Muyoon looked at his watch and beckoned the secretary Yeo while looking at Yu-Irim going in to change his clothes.

“Did you prepare the meal at the hotel last time?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll be going first.”

Getting out of his seat and he stood up. The filming was over, the manager was discussing the cut scene with the team leader of the PR team, and the other staff members were cleaning their seats. He was going to wait until Yu-Irim changed his clothes and came out, but he thought it would be better to move first.

When Muyoon moved, his attendants were also about to move. And then someone’s urgent footsteps were heard.

“CEO Seo!”

The only voice that makes Muyoon’s back twitch. Muyoon looked back immediately, and Yu-Irim, who came running in a hurry, was smiling. He changed his clothes quickly, but his hair was messy and his makeup remained the same. He approached Muyoon, arranging his hair roughly with his fingers. Muyoon, who had turned slightly around and looked back at him, turned completely to face him.

From behind Yu-Irim’s back, his manager rushed in bewildered and grabbed his arm, but Yu-Irim removed it annoyedly.

“Will you invite me to dinner today?”

“Yes, I was about to go first.”

“That hotel?”

“Yes, I suppose so.”

“Well, since we’re going to the same destination, may I get a ride?”

Muyoon looked around for a while and then looked back at Secretary Yeo. All the eyes of the rest of the filming set were focused on this place, and Secretary Yeo did not seem to be happy with the current situation. Just by looking at his expression, it was clear what the answer would be if asked.

After thinking for a while, Muyoon looked back at Yu-Irim and said,

“Yes.”

“CEO.”

Secretary Yeo called Muyoon, but Muyoon approached the car without answering, and the waiting attendant opened the car door. Muyoon got on immediately, and soon after, Yu-Irim got into the car through the opposite door.

“What are you thinking all of a sudden?”

“Well, we’re going the same way anyway. What’s the point of moving two cars?”

Yu-Irim said that and leaned against the car seat. Secretary Yeo with disapproving eyes climbs into the passenger seat, and then the car starts off smoothly.

When the car left the filming site and entered the road, Muyoon peeked into the rearview mirror and looked back at Yu-Irim.

“Where’s your manager?”

“I sent him back.”

Muyoon looked at Yu-Irim with a questioning gaze, but Yu-Irim just smiled once and looked forward again.

Muyoon thought for a moment, and asked first. He was nervous about the answer, but he was still curious.

“Why did you do that?”

“I think I will go to sleep.”

Yu-Irim still didn’t look at Muyoon, and instead, Secretary Yeo looked back at Muyoon. Muyoon hesitated, not knowing what to say to Secretary Yeo, he just leaned on the car seat himself.

‘I guess he’s just going to sleep in the hotel.’

That’s what he thought, but he already knew it wasn’t.

* * *

“Would you like to go in first?”

“If you’re going to take inhibitors, just come in.”

“Mr. Yu-Irim.”

“There, secretary, May I have a room, please?”

Secretary Yeo doesn’t even pay attention to Yu-Irim’s words. He was just looking at Muyoon. Yu-Irim once again called Yeo, “Secretary.” This time, he even looked straight ahead and called out to the secretary. But the secretary still did not answer. He was deliberately ignoring it.

At the blatant disregard, Yu-Irim called the Secretary Yeo a few times in a slightly annoyed voice, “Hello, secretary? Secretary?” but he treated him as an unreasonable person until the end. Yu-Irim even waved in front of him.

At this rate, it seemed that Yu-Irim would hit Secretary Yeo, so Muyoon intervened in between.

“Secretary Yeo, I would like one room, please.”

“CEO.”

“I’d like a room, please. And medicine, that’s it.”

After saying that, Muyoon grabbed Yu-Irim by the shoulder and escorted him into the hotel. There was no need for that, but he did it because he thought the two of them would quarrel for no reason. Yu-Irim grinned and happily walked in with his escort, and the restaurant in the hotel had already set up a table like last time.

“I fast before I have sex.”

“As I told you…”

“It’s a little too much, isn’t it? You’re a sponsor, but I’m just taking it. I’ll have to give you some service, too.”

“I didn’t mean to be a sponsor in that sense…….”

“The first thing I said meant that.”

Muyoon looked at Yu-Irim’s smiling face. He didn’t know what he was thinking.

‘Why all of a sudden?’

Apparently, he was annoyed by the fact that Muyoon called him out claiming to be his ‘sponsor’, and also he was open to having sex at best, rather than being eager to. However he as of now looks as if he’s the one who want to have sex with Muyoon.

To be honest, it would be a lie if Muyoon wasn’t nervous about his behavior. The tips of his fingers tingle again. Muyoon raised his cup in front of him and drank a little water, and then looked at Yu-Irim again. Irim was still smiling at Muyoon.

“Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

“What?”

“You never wanted to do it so eagerly in the past, did you ?”

“Well… yes. If I have to explain it, I was curious about the CEO.”

“Do you relieve your curiosity about people by having sex?”

Yu-Irim laughed again at what is funny about Muyoon’s question. He was going to ask what was funny, but he saw the waiters in the distance preparing for the food set. Muyoon glanced at Yu-Irim and raised his hand as a sign that they were welcome to come, and the food was quickly prepared.

Foods similar to the last time were placed in front of Muyoon and Irim.

“It looks delicious.”

Yu-Irim says so, but he doesn’t eat, only fiddling with a spoon to see if he really wants to have sex. Thanks to this, Muyoon couldn’t even eat at all.

Yu-Irim’s gaze did not fall from Muyoon’s face. He held his chin and looked at Muyoon with his eyes open as if he was raising his eyes. Muyoon tried to force himself to eat the food, but he couldn’t concentrate on the meal, feeling Yu-Irim’s gaze, and eventually stood up without a spoonful.

When Muyoon stood up, Yu-Irim stood up too. The movements of the attendants got busy, but no one talked. Secretary Yeo must have cracked down on them.

“This way, please.”

The manager of the hotel said in front of the elevator, they got in right away without waiting for the elevator that had been reserved in advance. Floor goes up one floor, two floors. And when they got out of the elevator and stood in the hallway, bodyguards were already standing along the corridor, and in front of their room, Secretary Yeo and Muyoon’s assistants and the hotel manager were waiting with the door open.

“There are no guests on this floor now.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

Secretary Yeo does not respond to Muyoon’s words. Instead, he looked at Muyoon with a slightly worried eyes. Since he was a person the same age as his father and had been assisting Muyoon for quite a while, so he must have been worried about Muyoon’s sudden behavior.

Muyoon was about to enter, but stopped when he saw his face.

“I have extra medicine, so don’t worry too much.”

Muyoon smiled lightly at secretary Yeo, and only then did the secretary nodded with a slightly relaxed face.

Muyoon looked back at Yu-Irim. He had already gotten himself into the room. Muyoon also made eye contact with secretary Yeo once more before entering the room.

The door closed behind Muyoon.

“It’s spacious. The room looks expensive.”

“I don’t care about the price.”

At Muyoon’s words, Yu-Irim glanced at him and said, “Indeed…..” He muttered softly and sat down on the bed. And look at Muyoon. Muyoon was still standing and looking at Yu-Irim, still not far away from the door.

“Are you going to keep standing there?”

“Are you really planning on doing it…?”

“Didn’t I tell you before, I want to pay for this sponsorship.”

“If you don’t feel like it, you really don’t have to do it. Just sleep in this room for a day and see the manager tomorrow….”

Yu-Irim, who was listening to Muyoon speak, jumped up from his seat. At that moment, Muyoon wanted to sit down for some reason. He felt weak in his legs, and he didn’t feel like facing him. But he braced his legs and backed off little by little.The scent of Yu-Irim touched the tip of his nose.

Yu-Irim did not hold onto the retreating Muyoon, and approached him until Muyoon lightly bumped into the wall and stopped.

“You got wet in the waiting room earlier. Weren’t you?”

Standing right in front of Muyoon, who was blocked from walking by the wall, he lightly tugged on Muyoon’s necktie.

As he pulled the tie, Muyoon’s body bent down on its own, and Yu-rim’s lips almost touched Muyoon’s. Following the finger tapping on the tie, the vibration was transmitted to the neck, and Muyoon moistened his dry lips without realising it.

“Try to deny it.”

“I… ”

Muyoon opened his mouth, but couldn’t speak. He moved his neck greatly and swallowed dry saliva meaninglessly. And Yu-Irim laughed at his response. It made a small sound, and the sound of his laughter seemed to travel deep into Muyoon’s body.

Muyoon closed his eyes for a moment and felt the echo. The desire to be swept away by Yu-Irim shook him all over. But he tried to hold on to himself.

‘This isn’t like me.’

It was something that he often uttered to himself. Muyoon pressed himself against the wall hard and swallowed his saliva again. His throat was a little sore.

He slowly opened his eyes and pushed Yu-Irim’s body with a little force. He saw a slight look of dismay flashed across Yu-Irim’s face in front of him.

Muyoon felt wet between his hip bones. His body was hot, his limbs were weak, and he sensitively set his grip on Yu-Irim as if he wanted to touch him. He did his best to push him away. His fingertips trembled as if he had used up all his strength.

However, Muyoon straightened his expression as if he was not about to collapse and smiled slightly. He met Yu-Irim’s eyes with a business-like face as much as he could.

Yu-Irim’s eyes narrowed slightly. Muyoon thought that his annoyed expression might be less beautiful than his smiling face, but it seemed to show him a little more vividly.

“You can sleep at this hotel.”

“So you’re not going to have sex?”

“As I told you, I wanted to see Yu-rim once, and because of that, I accepted the sponsorship proposed by Yu-rim, but the purpose of it was not sex.”

Yu-Irim looked at Muyoon, and Muyoon did not avoid those eyes. Yu-Irim, who had been looking into Muyoon’s eyes for a long time, turned around, walked over to the bed and sat down. Then he searched his pockets and took out a cigarette. Muyoon watched the scene and approached Yu-Irim, who was looking for fire, and took the cigarette from his mouth. Yu-lrim looked up at Muyoon with an expression of irritation and absurdity.

“What is it?”

“I didn’t have much time before, so I let it go, but I’m a non-smoker. I hope you don’t take out a cigarette and smoke it in front of me.”

Then Muyoon crumpled up his cigarette and threw it into the trash can next to him. However, Yu-Irim looked into Muyoon’s eyes and took out another cigarette. Muyoon snatched the cigarette from him, and even his cigarette case from his hand and tossed it into the trash can.

“You won’t let me have sex, you won’t let me smoke.”

“Didn’t you say that sex is just a price for sponsorship?”

“I’m a human being too, so would I want to have sex that I don’t like?”

Then Yu-Irim pointed between his legs. It looked like it was slightly bulged. And in response to his physical reaction Muyoon found some composure. On the other hand, he was slightly excited that a person named Yu-Irim really wanted to have sex with him.

Muyoon sat down beside Yu-Irim.

“I think I asked you last time. Are you sure you won’t regret it?”

“I think I answered the same thing back then, but I don’t think I’ll regret it.”

“Really?”

“Well… ”

Yu-Irim smiled in response to Muyoon’s reply. And then, perhaps because of the lack of cigarettes, he sighed and laid down on the bed.

There was a moment of silence between the two. Muyoon was just sitting with his eyes forward, while Yu-Irim lay looking at the ceiling and did not open his mouth. All of Muyoon’s nerves were on Yu-Irim, but he didn’t look back.

In a room where no sound could be heard. Out of habit, Muyoon glanced at his watch on his wrist. It was two o’clock in the morning. It was quite late. Even if he goes home right now, Muyoon, who wakes up at 6 a.m. at the latest to exercise, won’t have much time left to sleep.

He rubbed his temples as if his head was ringing again. And then, Yu-rim’s hand gently caressed Muyoon’s back.

When his heated hand made contact with his scapula, Muyoon flinched for a moment, but did not move away. He just slowly lowered his hand that was pressing down on his temple. As if to match it, Yu-Irim’s fingers slowly wander around the area as if rolling Muyoon’s scapula.

Focusing on his long fingers moving gently, Muyoon could see how they all were moving.

“You’re in good shape, aren’t you?

“I’m in charge of it.”

The hand that was stroking with only the fingertips, changed to the palm and moved widely and roundly. Muyoon unknowingly straightened his back, and Yu-Irim’s fingers slid down Muyoon’s spine as if responding to it. As if counting his spine, it slowly came down, reaching near Muyoon’s tailbone, and as soon as he pressed it slowly and gently, Muyoon jumped up with a numb feeling inside his body.

He felt a little out of breath, but he looked back at Yu-Irim, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Yu-Irim looked at him with an expressionless and unresponsive face.

“So far, the idea of having sex is valid.”

Yu-Irim said lightly. Muyoon almost replied yes. He had languid eyes, which seemed to cling to Muyoon. Muyoon swallowed heavily, and Yu-Irim must have seen all the movement of his nape. He felt a little ashamed.

Muyoon clenched his teeth slightly, but he couldn’t hide his slight blush.

“I’ll be off now.”

Muyoon turned around and headed to the door, thinking that if he stayed here, he would start talking about doing it first, and Yu-Irim was still watching Muyoon without getting out of bed.

Muyoon stood in front of the door and stopped just before opening it. He didn’t have much confidence to look back at Yu-Irim, so he just stood there and turned his head slightly.

“Today will be the last day to shoot a commercial.”

“Good to hear that.”

Yu-Irim said lightly. It was a voice that really made him feel relaxed.

‘You must have hated it….’

Muyoon felt a little bitter in his mouth, but he didn’t say anything and went out the door. He closed the door and let out a long sigh.

He saw a bodyguard standing outside the door radioing (talking on a walkie talkie), and within seconds, Secretary Yeo appeared from the elevator at the end of the hallway.

“CEO.”

Muyoon loosened his watch and held out his arm, and secretary Yeo immediately took out a syringe and inserted it deeply into Muyoon’s arm. The energy of the medicine spread quickly and hurt again like a ringing in the head. Muyoon pressed his temples and waited for his body to cool down completely from the medicine.

While he was with Yu-Irim, he felt uncomfortable because of the sweat and dripping wet underwear.

“I can’t wait to go back and wash up.”

Saying so, Muyoon walked down the corridor.
