LM 42

Despite being told to slow down, Woo Hyunse aggressively pushed into Kwon Siyul as if to break him in. It was only natural for Kwon Siyul to gasp for air as if he was a fish out of the water.

After repeatedly thrusting against the tightly closed entrance, the smooth glans finally penetrated inside. Kwon Siyul’s hips jerked up but were blocked by Woo Hyunse. Kwon Siyul tilted his head back, and curled all ten of his toes, as every inch of him trembled.

There was no ejaculation, but there was a climax. It lasted for a very long time. He couldn’t hear or see anything.

Woo Hyunse took a short breath as he felt the tightness all around. Semen burst from the tip of his penis deep inside. He thrust several more times, as if planting it deeper would immediately sprout life there.

The lukewarm semen felt cold against the heated inner flesh. Even after emptying himself, Woo Hyunse’s still-hard penis made Kwon Siyul’s body twitch with each movement inside. It was hard to tell if it was the afterglow of the sex or if he was still climaxing.

Woo Hyunse finally pulled back his hips. The shaft leisurely grazed the wrinkled mucous membrane as it fell out. Semen clung like cobwebs to the red flesh inside the gaping hole, and a long strand of semen was still attached to the tip of the penis that had just exited Kwon Siyul’s flesh.

Woo Hyunse overlapped his body on top of the now limp Kwon Siyul. He held the twitching Kwon Siyul close and kissed him on the lips with a smack.

“Call me ‘hyung’ again.”

“…”

Kwon Siyul finally came to his senses after a while and glared at the other with tightly closed lips. He wasn’t just silent because he lacked strength, but because Woo Hyunse had pounded him so ruthlessly after he called him that as requested. He wouldn’t be fooled again. Even if he wasn’t panting, flames of resentment could still be seen rising in Kwon Siyul’s eyes.

Woo Hyunse smiled gently, folding his drooping eyes, even after seeing Kwon Siyul’s fierce gaze. His face looked so kind and innocent that it was hard to believe he was the same person who had just roughly folded Kwon Siyul in half and thrust into him.

“Siyul-ah.”

Kwon Siyul had intended to turn his head away to express his anger passively, but hearing his name, he couldn’t take his eyes off Woo Hyunse. It was different from how others called his name tiresomely. It sounded sweet. His name had a scent. It was as fragrant as Woo Hyunse’s scent that he remembered from burying his face in his sleeve before.

“Kwon Siyul.”

When their eyes met, Woo Hyunse smiled. It was a different smile from any he had seen before. It was clear, without a single speck visible. There was light in his eyes as he looked at Kwon Siyul, and his upturned lips and cheeks looked as soft as freshly pulled cotton candy.

It seemed as if he had shed a layer and pulled up something that had been hidden deep inside. The distance that had been subtly felt was gone, at least for now. Like a boy younger than himself, Woo Hyunse pressed his cheek against Kwon Siyul’s and slowly nuzzled the other man.

“Siyul-ah.”

Could it be this sweet just from dropping the surname? It felt like his eardrums would melt from just hearing his name spoken like that. If left like this, he would torment him like this every time they slept together. He should settle this matter clearly now, but that resolve melted away like snow. His resentment melted away with it.

“Please…call me once more,” Kwon Siyul requested in a terribly hoarse voice.

Woo Hyunse whispered “Siyul-ah” into his ear. Kwon Siyul stretched out his arms and wrapped them around the other’s neck. He wanted to hear it more. If possible, he wanted to record it and listen to it repeatedly whenever he had the spare time.

“One more time, please…”

Woo Hyunse called his name again as if rewarding Kwon Siyul for enduring well. It was enough of a reward. If he could just hear his name from Woo Hyunse like this, Kwon Siyul felt he could endure even if his body was shattered into a million pieces.

* * *

Although Kwon Siyul had called him “hyung” so much that day that the word almost stuck to his tongue, he still occasionally called Woo Hyunse “Director”. Even though he preferred being called “hyung,” Woo Hyunse let it slide without pointing it out, feeling a prick of conscience that didn’t even exist.

The sliding door opened with a rattling sound. Simultaneously, a voice shouted “Hyung!” Woo Hyunse turned his head away from the window that displayed cloudy skies. Woo Taeju, his hair disheveled like a puppy that had come running, saw Woo Hyunse and broke into a broad smile as he strode into the room.

“Did you wait long?”

“Don’t you greet people?”

“What’s with the formalities between us?”

Woo Taeju grumbled as he plopped down opposite him. Woo Hyunse, holding a warm cup of tea, stared at him intently. Despite being second cousins, their faces were quite similar, clearly showing the two mens’ blood connection. Sometimes, they seemed more like siblings than the relationships Woo Hyunse had with the Woo sisters.

But their personalities were different. Woo Taeju was like a puppy, fearless and unrestrained. He had grown up without want and knew how to use his advantages well. When Woo Hyunse was treated as an outsider among relatives, it was Woo Taeju who first approached him, calling him a stone that rolled in.

Woo Taeju, the only Alpha in the family, didn’t care about the trivial matter of being disconnected due to his father’s absence. Positively speaking, he had a strong will—negatively speaking, he was arrogant, not caring at all about what others’ thought.

The food arrived soon, as it had been pre-ordered. Woo Taeju, seemingly starving, picked up his spoon first.

“What’s the reason for calling me?”

“Why else? I called to see my hyung’s face. And to get a free meal while I’m at it.”

He grinned cheekily. Not entirely disliking his brother’s brazenness, Woo Hyunse returned the smile.

“Actually, hyung, I’ve recently found someone I like. You’ve had a lot of dating experience, right? I wanted to get some advice.”

“Aren’t you old enough to figure that out on your own?”

“Well…”

This wasn’t like him, hesitating mid-sentence. For someone who had a history of directly pursuing and snatching others’ partners, what could be bothering him this time?

“Is she married?”

“Am I crazy?”

When bluntly asked, he vehemently denied it, waving his hands around. He chewed his food for a long time, as if debating whether to speak or not, then waved his hand dismissively.

“Never mind. It’s too early to talk about it now. I’ll tell you later if things work out. What if talking about it now brings bad luck?”

This was different from his past behavior of chattering without hiding anything whenever he liked someone. His cautious attitude piqued Woo Hyunse’s curiosity.

“Who is it?”

“There’s someone. Really cute. Small, pretty, makes you want to protect them.”

“Didn’t you say you needed advice?”

“I’ll ask if I get stuck later.”

He was quite fickle. Used to his brother’s personality, Woo Hyunse immediately lost interest in Woo Taeju’s love interest. Woo Taeju, as if it was no big deal, quickly moved on to another topic.

“My birthday is coming up soon.”

Having finished his meal and filled his stomach generously, Woo Taeju leaned against the wall and muttered. Although there was still plenty of time until his birthday, he spoke as if it was right around the corner. Woo Hyunse chuckled lightly, then spoke up as something occurred to him.

“What do kids your age usually like?”

Woo Taeju was around the same age as Kwon Siyul. No matter what Woo Hyunse bought for Kwon Siyul, he seemed more burdened by the gifts than happy. That was because he thought of presents as debts. Woo Hyunse guessed that Kwon Siyul might never have received a gift in his life that didn’t have any strings attached.

“That question is too broad.”

“For gifts.”

“Wow, are you planning to give me a gift early? I’ve actually been eyeing a pair of shoes. Should I send you the link?”

He chattered with aegyo despite his large build, then giggled as he took out his phone.

Woo Hyunse was used to Woo Taeju’s type. He clearly stated what he wanted and had no hesitation in getting it. He was also skilled at mooching. When someone gave him something, he accepted it as if it was perfectly natural. Though he was equally generous in giving.

“Not for you, kid.”

When Woo Hyunse scolded him as if disgusted, Woo Taeju pouted and put his phone away. He pondered for a moment with a “hmm,” then listed off items. Laptop, tablet, sneakers, watch…

“But hyung, do you know someone my age? Who’s this gift for?”

“A younger sibling of someone I know.”

“You’re looking after the younger sibling of someone you know?”

Woo Taeju laughed out loud with a clearly mocking face. Woo Hyunse hit his forehead with a spoon, making a sharp sound. Woo Taeju immediately made a crying face. He rubbed his reddened skin, exaggerating how much the smack had hurt him. He tossed the spoon far away on the table.

“Hyung-nim, give me some allowance for a date.”

Having cleanly finished even the dessert, Woo Taeju politely put his hands together and asked for money. At least he wasn’t boring to watch.

“Did I deposit it for you? What about your card?”

“I can’t use it. I’ve exceeded the limit.”

“You exceeded it?”

Woo Taeju’s limit was never exceeded no matter what he splurged on in a month, showing how precious a son he was. When Woo Hyunse asked, not understanding, Woo Taeju nodded his head with a gloomy and depressed face.

“I spent a lot last month, so Mom drastically reduced my limit. So I’m broke now.”

“Work.”

“Are you going to parachute me in?”

“You’ve got big dreams, huh?”

Woo Hyunse’s expression didn’t soften even for one bit. It was quite a talent to exude such a chilly atmosphere with a smiling face. Judging by his look, he had no intention of giving Woo Taeju a position, and if Woo Taeju tried to sneak in, he’d likely kick him out of his sacred business immediately.

Woo Taeju understood the reason why. Woo Hyunse probably didn’t want to get involved and have rumors spread to other relatives’ ears. At the same time, he himself wasn’t interested in simple labor either. Woo Taeju grinned, putting his hands together and laying on the charm, deciding to just get some pocket money as planned instead.
