“Um.”
Do-hwa took a deep breath from his chest and exhaled slowly. He eventually lifted his eyelids gently. A clean and tidy ceiling stretched out above him. It wasn’t unfamiliar, yet it wasn’t exactly familiar either. What’s this vague sense of unease? As he looked around, the strange feeling mixed with questions dissipated.
It felt like the VIP room where he first woke up after mixing with Min-jun. Do-hwa checked his condition as if confirming his suspicions. He was wearing a neatly laundered hospital gown. Why did he come back here again? Do-hwa wondered.
The curtains were drawn over the window, but judging by the brightness, it seemed like daytime. The digital clock on the wall showed the date as December 26th, and it was past 4 PM.
Beside him, he felt a subtle scent and a hand holding his own. When he turned his head, Min-jun came into view, who was sleeping next to him. Long eyelashes, a sturdy nose, moist red lips, and a sharp jawline. Even if someone were perfect, Min-jun’s beauty was so breathtakingly flawless that it made one wonder where else such perfection could be found. As he confirmed Min-jun’s presence, Do-hwa realized why he had come here.
Do-hwa not only went to the extent of pushing it to the end but also ended up fainting as he was trying to coax out Cha Min-jun’s identity by pretending to have a heat cycle. It was pathetic and dismal.
‘Then, would you like to call me Daniel?’
‘I was born between an American father and a Korean mother.’
Still, Do-hwa could deduce some parts of Cha Min-jun’s identity. Compared to what Do-hwa sacrificed, it wasn’t exactly a fruitful endeavor, but it was still a step closer to uncovering Min-jun’s true self. And there seemed to be something more that Min-jun said. Do-hwa tried to recall the memory.
‘In fact, the reason I’m in Korea is because…’
He tried to convey something. But for some reason, nothing came to mind. It felt like a dream, and he couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Unraveling his identity from now on didn’t seem like a piece of cake.
“Ha.”
Do-hwa was exhaling in embarrassment as he suddenly remembered the first time he met him.
That day, Do-hwa finished volunteering at the Naeun Orphanage and was cleaning the club room alone. It wasn’t very spacious, but it felt overwhelming to do it alone. He originally planned to do it with his hubae like Jihoon, but they all had their own tasks and appointments. They all told Do-hwa to come early the next morning to do it together, but he couldn’t. He had to work loading and unloading packages for a delivery job.
So, Do-hwa was organizing the boxes piled up in the corner, as he was planning to do what he could alone before leaving. At that moment, he sensed someone’s presence.
‘Is this the Eternal Hope Volunteer Club?’
‘Who’s there?’
When Do-hwa turned his head, his eyes widened. It was Cha Min-jun, a recent hot topic among students at school. Do-hwa nodded his head in surprise at the sudden appearance of the famous person.

They said he was a once-in-a-millennium handsome guy at Korean University, and it turned out to be true. His stunning beauty felt surreal.
‘You’re recruiting for the 31st intake, right?’
‘Starting tomorrow, you can apply via email.’
‘Yeah. Actually, I came to see what the atmosphere was like before applying.’

Do-hwa reached out to try to catch the box, but his fingertips barely grazed it. He felt a sense of dread because if they broke, he would have to pay for everything, and he was struggling financially, having barely enough to spare. The box swayed dangerously, on the verge of causing a disaster. In that moment, Do-hwa instinctively squeezed his eyes shut.
However, the box didn’t fall. Instead, Do-hwa saw a long shadow behind him. Min-jun had taken the box instead. He effortlessly placed it on the table with a light movement.
Do-hwa was caught in a subtle mix of relief and gratitude. He felt thankful, flustered, and a bit rueful about why he was short in stature. Regardless, if it hadn’t been for Cha Min-jun, Do-hwa would have either incurred a hefty expense or gotten hurt.
‘Thank you.’
‘It’s nothing much to be thankful for.’
Cha Min-jun smiled. It was a brief moment, but Do-hwa felt a fluttering sensation in his stomach from that eye smile.
‘Well then, see you again.’
Min-jun soon left the club room. Do-hwa secretly watched Min-jun’s retreating figure. It was strange. He couldn’t understand why he felt excited about seeing him again or what that simple phrase meant. He attributed it to temporary excitement from receiving help from a celebrity, and he then resumed cleaning.
The classmates who had left earlier, citing other engagements, returned to the club room to help with the cleaning. However, what was strange was that although they usually regarded Do-hwa with familiarity, on this day, they seemed somewhat sheepish and avoided making eye contact with him. Whether it was out of guilt for leaving first or for some other reason, Do-hwa couldn’t tell. But thanks to them, he was able to return home earlier than planned.
As he passed by the Business Administration building, Do-hwa spotted Cha Min-jun, whom he had encountered earlier. Min-jun was sitting on a bench, gazing up at the sky, as if waiting for someone. He seemed like a kind statue sitting there.
The first impression was really good, but now it seemed like even demons weren’t as devilish as this. Do-hwa looked at Min-jun resentfully before his gaze shifted downward. He noticed Min-jun’s hand delicately holding his own. The joints were thick and sturdy, but long and elegant. The nails were neat and clean, without a single cuticle out of place. To anyone’s eyes, he looked like a refined gentleman who had never experienced a single storm in life.
In reality, he’s a crazy guy who enjoys beating people up and slashing them with a knife. And who knows how good-looking his body is? Do-hwa didn’t want to admit it, but he couldn’t deny the feeling he got when he had sex with him. So he felt overwhelmed by the thought that moments like these would continue endlessly.
“Are you awake?”
With the sound of sheets rustling, Min-jun sat up. Despite just waking up, he looked as put together as if he had just come from a salon. It was a truly enviable kind of specialness. Do-hwa suddenly became curious about his own appearance. He glanced around as he was hoping to find a mirror, but there was none in sight.
“Oh, seonbae, you have a bit of eye booger here.”
Min-jun reached out his hand and gently wiped the corner of Do-hwa’s eyelid. As he did so, Do-hwa closed his eyes, and he felt something moist touch his lips. It wasn’t unfamiliar, but it wasn’t a pleasant sensation either. When Do-hwa opened his eyes again, he saw Min-jun kissing him with his eyes closed. Do-hwa was startled by the sudden kiss as he grabbed Min-jun’s shoulders and pushed him away.
“Why are you suddenly doing this?”
“Because you’re pretty, seonbae. I couldn’t help it.”
“Stop saying weird things.”
Is he really crazy? Do-hwa cursed inwardly as he was feeling embarrassed as he lowered his head. His eyes were swollen from crying all night, and he must look like a mess. He couldn’t understand what was pretty about him. The more time they spent together, the more he couldn’t understand his taste.
“How’s your fever, seonbae? Let me see.”
Min-jun gently lifted Do-hwa’s lowered cheek with his hand, causing Do-hwa to meet his gaze again. He met Min-jun’s blue eyes, shining with a gentle light. For some reason, Do-hwa’s cheeks flushed, and his heart pounded. He didn’t know why. He avoided Min-jun’s gaze, as he was afraid that he might collapse under this strange feeling. However, Min-jun fixed his gaze on Do-hwa’s face and felt his forehead.
“Your fever has gone down a lot.”
Min-jun lowered his hand with relief. Do-hwa followed and touched his own forehead. It felt warm to the touch. However, judging by Min-jun’s demeanor, it was clear that something had happened in the early hours of the morning.
“Why am I back at the hospital again?”
It was perplexing to think that every time he had sex with him, it ended up with a hospital visit.
“I brought you here because your fever got worse. It seems like even the second heat cycle was tough on you.”
“Was I really in heat?”
“Are there fake heat cycles?”
His eyes widened in surprise. Do-hwa quickly backtracked, feeling a pang of regret. Yesterday, he had been somewhat tipsy and had pretended to be in heat to uncover Min-jun’s true identity, but it turned out to be real after all. Suddenly, Do-hwa felt incredibly pathetic for resorting to such tactics.
“No, no. I really was in heat.”
In the end, Do-hwa masked his surprise and confusion to hide his lie.
“Anyway, you came to hear the results of last time’s examination, right? Let’s have lunch and then head to the examination room.”
“Got it.”
After falsely claiming to have amnesia, Do-hwa visited a neurologist for treatment and underwent various tests, including CT scans, MRI scans, and others. Although he had to come to the hospital anyway, being in such a luxurious room felt burdensome.
“Alright.”
Min-jun got up from the bed. Do-hwa tried to stand up too, but a sharp pain shot through his waist. His stomach also felt like it was boiling. Nevertheless, he couldn’t muster the strength to set foot on the floor. He realized that accepting his massive member had actually caused his body to malfunction. Well, he should have approached it with some restraint; even beasts weren’t as beastly as this.
“…”
Min-jun pulled back the sheets, watching Do-hwa in this state, and supported Do-hwa’s back and knees before lifting him up in his arms.
“Let’s go wash up.”
As usual, it seemed like he would not only help with washing up but also brushing teeth.
“Now that I’m your attendant, you can feel free to rely on me as much as you want.”
“Oh.”
Because of the crazy suggestion that he should serve this peculiar guy, Do-hwa felt like his future would become more daunting in various ways. Not only was it burdensome, but he also didn’t want to show his messy side from time to time.
“Can’t I just do it myself?”
He knew it was a proposal that wouldn’t be accepted in the slightest, but he gathered courage and sent a pleading look along with it.
“No, you can’t.”
Min-jun’s answer was so obvious. With a gloomy expression, Do-hwa followed Min-jun to the bathroom, feeling like he was being dragged along.
“Haa.”
While Do-hwa sighed heavily, Min-jun’s eyes sparkled with the look of someone deeply in love, like no one else in the world.
