TTOA Chapter 37

#37

A few dizzying days passed, and they decided to start with moving preparations for now.

They couldn’t stay in the house with the living room blown up forever, so the plan was to pack only the essentials and move to a temporary residence.

Since it would take time to complete the new house, they would stay in a suitable house in the meantime. Of course, what Seo Eui-woo considered a suitable house would probably be a luxurious mansion.

Whether it was because Kwon Jae-jin said he liked mountains, Seo Eui-woo instantly bought a private villa on a remote mountaintop and paid the balance in a lump sum upon signing the contract.

Watching him buy a house like buying snacks at a supermarket, Kwon Jae-jin could only blink in silence.

In any case, the move was a decided matter, and now that they had a house to move into, all that was left was packing.

In his room on the second floor, Jae-jin began to sort through the items he had impulsively bought. First of all, he would take all the exercise equipment, including the treadmill, and he was thinking of donating the two million seven hundred thousand won red dog collar and the one million six hundred thousand won dog bowl, which he had wastefully overspent on, to a good organization.

While Kwon Jae-jin was sorting through his belongings one by one, Seo Eui-woo was stuck right next to him. He held up the dog collar and briefly put it around Jae-jin’s neck, receiving a fierce scolding, and they spent a peaceful time together.

“I’m starting to want to try more difficult dishes. What’s your favorite food, Jae-jin?”

“I don’t really have any preferences. If you use expensive ingredients, it’s usually all delicious. Ah… I’m not very good with spicy food.”

“Spicy food, huh. I understand. But still, you must have some preference, like Korean or Western.”

“If I had to pick, it would be Korean… I do crave savory pancakes on rainy days.”

“Savory pancakes, got it. I’ll make them.”

Kwon Jae-jin sprayed a perfume he had never used. Perhaps the scent wasn’t to his liking, so he put it aside.

Seeing this, Seo Eui-woo cautiously asked.

“I know your taste in food, what about other preferences?”

“Other preferences?”

“Like… a preferred scent, or a color you dislike.”

“Ah.”

Kwon Jae-jin lowered his eyes imperceptibly. For a moment, he thought he was asking something strange. It seemed like something Seo Eui-woo would do.

“Well, when I was in the 6th Residential District, I used woody scents for men’s cologne. As for color, well, I think achromatic colors are safe.”

“What kind of weather do you like? Clear days, cloudy days, rainy days, snowy days.”

“Of course, it would be clear or cloudy days. It’s hard to go to work on days when something is falling from the sky. Traffic jams.”

“What, you don’t even need to go to work anymore.”

“…Then any weather is fine.”

“What about seasons? What season do you like?”

“…Spring. Or autumn.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t have to pay for air conditioning or heating.”

Looking at Jae-jin’s profile as he replied monotonously, Seo Eui-woo burst out laughing. He chuckled and leaned against the wall, propping his elbow up and resting his chin on his hand.

“Ah, that’s an unexpected answer. Kwon Jae-jin, you’re a practical person. Come to think of it, you asked for compensation for Guiding from the beginning.”

Seo Eui-woo, making such a pleasant expression while having these trivial conversations, really looked like he was twenty years old. An ordinary twenty-year-old who had lived an ordinary life.

“I requested fair compensation, that’s all.”

Kwon Jae-jin realized that he was matching Seo Eui-woo’s conversation and shook his head inwardly.

Until a few days ago, his head felt like it was about to explode with complexity and the future seemed blocked, but now he was relaxed without any tension, having silly Q&A sessions with Seo Eui-woo, which was strange.

“I know. The card I gave you, it has no limit, so you can use it as much as you want.”

“Yes, yes. I’m already using it plenty.”

“Now? Looking at the statement, you haven’t even used it much. Just a little?”

“I don’t have sophisticated and refined tastes like Seo Eui-woo. I don’t know much about art or wine. And I’m not interested in jewelry. It’s no use even if I have it.”

“Ah, so Jae-jin knows my tastes too?”

“……”

“How much do you know? Do you know everything about me?”

Seo Eui-woo tapped his temporomandibular joint with his index finger on the hand supporting his chin. He waited with a slow and regular rhythm, slightly folding his long eyes.

“I don’t know if it’s everything, but just.”

“Just?”

“Just… I think I know you as much as I need to know.”

Kwon Jae-jin pretended not to notice the gaze falling on him and shoved the dazzling luxury watches into their cases.

“I see. Then tell me.”

“Tell you what?”

“About Seo Eui-woo. As much as Jae-jin knows.”

“Why are you making me do that? Even though you know I know.”

“I’ll listen and let you know if there’s anything about me that Jae-jin doesn’t know. Go on, tell me.”

“No thanks. Let’s stop.”

“Ha, I know this for sure. Kwon Jae-jin’s most frequent saying. Second place is definitely ‘Let’s stop.'”

“……”

“First place is ‘No’.”

Seo Eui-woo tilted his head high and stared at the ceiling.

His straight neckline was as elegant as a white birch tree.

His gray eyes seemed to cool down dryly for a moment, but soon he asked in a friendly tone as if nothing had happened.

“Jae-jin, can I lick your eyes? Just the inside of your eyelids, just for a moment.”

Kwon Jae-jin swallowed and replied immediately.

“Absolutely not.”

“But the eye mucosa is very…”

“Yes, it’s an efficient Guiding spot. I know. No. Even if the world turns upside down, no.”

Somehow, Seo Eui-woo’s demeanor was unusual.

Since he had finished packing to some extent, Kwon Jae-jin dusted off his hands and got up from the room.

“It’s all done, so let’s get out of here. It looks like we just need to move these things.”

Seo Eui-woo leisurely followed behind Kwon Jae-jin as he left the room. As if it were natural, he wrapped his arm around Jae-jin’s waist from behind and even held his hand. It was just automatic.

“Still, you would have let future me lick them, right?”

“No. I didn’t allow it until the end. I told you to cut out your eyelids and lick them if you wanted it that badly, like a crazy bastard.”

“So, did I cut them out?”

“Are you crazy?”

“Ah, I thought…”

Jae-jin walked across the second-floor hallway with Seo Eui-woo attached to his side. As he stepped down the stairs, Seo Eui-woo suddenly stopped at the landing.

Without letting go of his wrapped arm or held hand, he stopped walking on his own, causing Kwon Jae-jin to brake as well.

“What is it?”

Is he thinking of licking them by force?

Kwon Jae-jin glared at Seo Eui-woo. His black pupils were filled with him. A sense of crisis arose.

Seo Eui-woo was coveting Kwon Jae-jin’s eyeballs like a dog licking its lips. He could tell just by looking at his heterogeneously shining hot eyes.

“……”

Seo Eui-woo smiled. Then, he suddenly grabbed Jae-jin’s chin and kissed him. He pried open his lower lip and pushed his tongue in.

Jae-jin, who was suddenly kissed, frowned and turned his head away.

“No, what is it.”

When he repeatedly asked, Seo Eui-woo replied as if nothing was wrong.

“I know you don’t like eyes, but it’s not the tongue. You don’t hate me sucking your tongue, do you?”

Seo Eui-woo pushed Jae-jin back. The landing was relatively small, and a large glass window was attached to the entire narrow wall.

Seo Eui-woo leaned Kwon Jae-jin’s back against the glass window and looked at his face closely at close range. It seemed like he could see every single eyelash.

“I know a little bit too. What reactions Jae-jin shows when I do something.”

Seo Eui-woo pressed his lips to Kwon Jae-jin’s cheek. His smooth and well-shaped lips were buried under his cheekbone. In that state, Seo Eui-woo whispered.

“Jae-jin accepts it pretty much whenever I rub his lips. Especially in places like this.”

Following his cheeks, his lips touched his chin, neck, and ears in succession. He kissed his hair and lifted Kwon Jae-jin’s hand to kiss the palm and back of his hand.

Seo Eui-woo, who gently took his lips off, looked at Kwon Jae-jin as if checking the answer sheet. Jae-jin stood still with his mouth tightly shut.

“But, if I use my teeth or lick with my tongue, you avoid it a little. Should I say you flinch…?”

Seo Eui-woo bit his neck. Kwon Jae-jin flinched slightly as he bit down a little harder. He felt uncomfortable because it seemed like he reacted exactly as he said. It was because he was surprised by the sudden bite, he had no intention of flinching at all.

“…I understand. How impressive. Dr. Kwon Jae-jin has arrived. So, slowly stop and get rid of…”

“Not yet. It’s different when I touch you with my hands. There are a few places you especially try to avoid.”

While Kwon Jae-jin was talking, Seo Eui-woo pushed two fingers into his open mouth. He pressed his index and middle fingers on his tongue and gave strength to his fingertips, gently rubbing the moist and soft flesh.

“Inside the mouth. Here. You always try to avoid it when I push my fingers in. Is it sensitive, it’s especially hard when I rub your tongue.”

“Ugh, Eui-woo!”

“It’s strange, you accept me sucking your tongue, but why do you refuse me touching your tongue with my hand? Even though I’m touching you gently like this.”

Seo Eui-woo continued to fondle his tongue while rolling up his hoodie with his other hand. He pushed up his clothes with his wrist and stuck his big hand close to his side, stroking his ribs. He focused on feeling the well-built muscles and every bone embedded in them, and then pushed his fingers between his large chest and arms.

He slowly touched the tender skin inside his armpits in an annoyingly slow way.
