“Am I heavy?”

Lim Dae-han carried me like a monkey dangling from a tall tree. Actually, it wasn’t what I wanted. This was due to Lim Dae-han forcing his back in front of me and threatening, “I won’t go unless I carry you.”

Lim Dae-han said that he was carrying me because my shoes were all wet, but it was the truth because I had gotten wet from the rain. I had no choice but to comply if he wanted to carry me on his back, but I would have been heavier than usual because I was wet. No matter how thin and small I was compared to Lim Dae-han, I was also a man with a certain amount of muscle.

“Am I not heavy? If it’s heavy, drop me off…”

I asked Lim Dae-han the unanswered question one more time. With his hand supporting my ass, he lightly patted my buttocks. As soon as I understood what it meant, I closed my lips.

“It’s light.”

“…”

“You should eat more.”

Lim Dae-han said it after taking a few more steps. I just stayed still with my arm around his neck. I rested my cheek on his broad back. My cold, sticky skin felt naked because my top was wet.

I wrapped my hand around his neck around and rubbed Lim Dae-han’s back or shoulders with the remaining hands. Why was his skin so hard? I knew it was all muscle, but he seemed to be of a different race than me.

Lim Dae-han told me to eat a lot, but I had a very small mouth in comparison to my peers, and Lim Dae-han was the type to eat a lot.

When it came to chicken, when most people my age could eat a whole chicken by themselves, I couldn’t finish one. However, Lim Dae-han was able to eat two of them alone. If he did well, he could eat up to three.

Do I need to eat more in the future if I want to spend time with Dae-han? I stared at the calm sea while thinking hard by myself. The smell of wet sand, the sound of waves crashing on the beach, and the salty aroma of salt. I’d been to the sea with my family before, but this was my first time seeing such a romantic night sea.

“…”

I was embarrassed and shy somehow, so I strengthened the arm that was wrapped around Lim Dae-han’s neck. I touched my cheek, buried my nose on his back, and kept my lips still. Lim Dae-han slapped me on the buttocks again when I wriggled and couldn’t settle down properly.

“Stay still.”

“…Okay.”

Anyway, that’s what happened.

***

When we returned to the accommodation, it had already been cleaned up. There was no one in the living room. Even when we entered the building, I was still carried on Lim Dae-han’s back. This was because when I wriggled to get out of Lim Dae-han’s back, he said, “Pretend to sleep because it will be annoying when they ask.” and suggested a useless alternative. I couldn’t help myself, so I opened my eyes and then I heard the sound of a previously closed door opening. I abruptly closed my eyes tightly again.

“Where did you find Ki Young-hyun?”

It was Jung Ji-pil. I pretended to be sleeping. My heart pounded because lying did not suit my temper. It was clear that Dae-han probably felt my heart beating fast.

“He was drunk and sleeping in the pavilion.”

“A pavilion?”

“Yeah. It was at the very end.”

“Ah…”

Lim Dae-han lied calmly. If it’s lying, wouldn’t Lim Dae-han be skilled at it? Was he pretending to be light-hearted when he said he loved me so much? In an instant, something soared.

“Then why don’t you drop Ki Young-hyun? Does he have no legs? You ignore Ki Young-hyun like that…”

“Ah, seriously. It’s because he was drunk. Who the one gave him to drink like that.”

Lim Dae-han slapped Jung Ji-pil lightly. He walked away again. ‘I’m sorry,’ I said inwardly to Jung Ji-pil. Jung Ji-pil did not say much when Lim Dae-han was more feisty than usual. Instead, he opened the door for him.

It was quiet so it was unclear as to whether the other guys were in the room. Lim Dae-han, who entered the room with me on his back, asked Jung Ji-pil to place a blanket on the floor. Contrary to my expectations, which I thought would do it roughly, Jung Ji-pil gently laid a blanket on the floor. Lim Dae-han dropped me off on the blanket while I pretended to sleep with my eyes closed. Then he sat down beside me.

“The other guys.”

Along with Lim Dae-han’s gentle voice, I could feel his rough but soft touch. Lim Dae-han raised the blanket up to my neck. He caressed my cheeks and swept up my hair. Beep, beep- I heard the sound of controlling the air conditioner. I kept closing my eyes quietly and facing his touch.

“They’re still drinking in the next room.”

“Oh.”

Lim Dae-han responded with no sincerity. Along with the rustling sound, Jung Ji-pil’s voice came from a little further away than before.

“Should I bring water?”

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Lim Dae-han as I heard the distant voice. Jung Ji-pil was standing near the front door. With the light leaking through the window, Lim Dae-han’s face faintly came into view. I raised my hand and grabbed Lim Dae-han’s pants, hoping Jung Ji-pil wouldn’t notice. His tilted head, which had been angled towards Jung Ji-pil, shifted to face me.

“… No, I don’t need it.”

Lim Dae-han said softly as he looked at me with a strange expression. Jung Ji-pil didn’t answer. Lim Dae-han, who had been sitting on the floor, slowly got up. I lay on the blanket and looked at Lim Dae-han’s back with my eyes squinted thinly. Lim Dae-han moved closer to Jung Ji Pil. Then he placed both hands on Jung Ji-pil’s shoulder and led him outside.

“Tell the kids to hang out there for a while, I’ll be there soon.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Speak properly. Jung Ji-pil.”

Bang. The door was shut. Click-, Lim Dae-han’s stout figure, who had locked the door, strode closer to me.

“Wake up.”

I raised my upper body at Lim Dae-han’s words. As I was just getting up, he bent one knee and hurriedly pushed his lips into me. He repeatedly bit and let go of my lips, as if they were playing a game of putting puzzle pieces together with each other. Meanwhile, Lim Dae-han grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it off. Even when his lips fell off for a while to take off his shirt, he tickled my body and placed his lips on the back of my neck or cheek.

Lim Dae-han, who had been rubbing his lips endlessly on my body for some time, moved away slowly. Haa… I took a deep breath.

“…Why are you taking off your clothes?”

Lim Dae-han, who was heated, wrinkled the corners of his eyes as I asked the question carefully. Then he gradually lowered himself. His lips brushed against my shoulder. His breath was hot. He rubbed his lips against my shoulder and pushed his teeth into the nape of my neck while making sure it didn’t hurt. While biting, he drew his tongue out and tickled my skin. Goosebumps swelled up all over my body.

“I’d like to do it when there are just the two of us…”

I leaned down as far as I could and stared at Lim Dae-han’s expression with my eyes wide open. I wanted to spend time with him in our own space, unnoticed and without holding our breath. Perhaps Dae-han was aware of my emotions. He looked at me for a moment before pulling me into a hug.? Unable to overcome his strength, we fell to the side. We lay on the same bed, staring into each other’s eyes. Lim Dae-han’s eyes were as dark as the night sky.

“Ki Young-hyun.”

“Yeah.”

His low-pitched voice tickled my ears.

“Ki Young-hyun.”

He called me again. When he called again, I put my hand on his thick waist. I felt a solid body in the palm of my hand. I like Lim Dae-han. It felt good to see him looking at me.

“Hug me…”

I pushed my body toward Lim Dae-han’s side in order to make physical contact with him. In fact, I wanted to forcefully pull Lim Dae-han to my side, but it was not realistically possible. I was wrapped in his arms. Lim Dae-han hugged me and supported my waist. I rubbed my lips along his jawline. I never closed my eyes and stared at Lim Dae-han. His expression wasn’t good, but I knew it was because he enjoyed it. I groaned and hugged him a little tighter without realizing it.

“Haa, I don’t know why you’re doing this.”

Finally, a blunt voice came from his mouth. I couldn’t hide the smile on my lips, then a momentary burst of laughter.? I wrapped one arm around his waist and wrapped it around him. I buried my forehead in his chest and stayed still. Lim Dae-han pressed his nose against my head. I was worried that my head would smell strange, but I thought it was not necessarily the case because Lim Dae-han kept his posture without saying anything.

It was a romantic night. It was a precious moment that came unexpectedly to me, who had gone my entire life without thinking about love. Thanks to the temperature of the room that had already dropped, I didn’t feel hot even in? Lim Dae-han’s arms.

“I like it…”

I muttered to myself. Lim Dae-han then immediately responded.

“Me too.”

“…”

“Ki Young-hyun.”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s send the other guys back tomorrow.”

When I raised my head, our gaze met again. Lim Dae-han smoothed my eyes with his hand. Everywhere he touched, I frowned.

“Shall we hang out somewhere else for another day?”

I liked the light voice of Lim Dae-han. It wasn’t too harsh, but it also wasn’t too blunt. It wasn’t too high or too low in pitch, but when he asked a question, he asked it until the end.

But realistically, it was unreasonable for us to spend another day playing with wet clothes like this. Because it was probably going to smell bad. Of course, even if we took a shower or washed our clothes together in the process, there was a difference from clothes washed clean in the washing machine after pouring fabric softener.

In conclusion, I wanted to go back. To a place where there was no time constraint and without noticing the people around us.

“Dae-han-a, I…”

“Yeah.”

“… I want to go to your house.”

I turned my gaze to Lim Dae-han’s eyes after I finished my speech. Most likely not, but just in case. I was concerned that Lim Dae-han would look at me strangely. When there were only two of us, we would naturally do this and that.? Then I’d appear to be someone who was only interested in Lim Dae-han’s body. That was not the case at all.

“…”

Lim Dae-han’s face darkened. He eventually frowned.

“How come you’re so obvious?”

My voice rang out unintentionally. ?It must have been strange because of my voice cracking, but I was embarrassed and didn’t think to stop the words from leaking out of my mouth.

“

I am not that kind of person. You must have been wrong.”

Lim Dae-han closed his eyes and laughed to himself. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and patted me on the back like a child. For some reason, it appeared that such a decision had been made in Lim Dae-han’s mind, so I was forced to continue speaking

“I’m really not. I don’t like that kind of thing… Dae-han… You’re not answering? … Hey? Answer me…“

I never got an answer from Lim Dae-han. I tried to get out of his arms but couldn’t, so I turned to look at Lim Dae-han, who had already fallen asleep with me in his arms. There was a real reason to be angry.

A strong negative was a strong positive.

I was embarrassed to speak out loud, but… It was, in fact, one of the reasons I liked him.
