Yisun joined Sa Hyeon for dinner.

Since he left the library first, he thought he would have to walk home alone. But when he saw the car parked at the entrance of the building, he hesitated for a moment before getting in.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The driver customarily didn’t speak, so silence reigned in the car as Sa Hyeon remained quiet. Despite how they rarely talked much in the car, and Yisun himself was clearly used to this silence, the air in the car felt so heavy that he had to force himself to look out the window.

The car arrived at the restaurant. In another fully rented place, Yisun ate dinner in the seat facing Sa Hyeon. Even though he intentionally ordered a bland risotto, fearing he might get an upset stomach, he could only fumble with his spoon. CO21wJ

The nightmare he’d had in the library had been completely pushed out of his mind by now. Although  he had no desire to meet Sa Hyeon’s gaze, he felt unnecessarily self-conscious because the atmosphere was so different from anything he had ever felt before. The carefully crafted smile usually worn on Sa Hyeon’s face was gone; the silence combined with his cold, blank expression created a tremendous sense of distance.

While Yisun didn’t consider himself particularly close to Sa Hyeon, that unsmiling face felt so unfamiliar. Yisun thought it looked insincere every time he smiled, but it was even more chilling to see no expression on his face. Moreover, Sa Hyeon always made eye contact when they talked, but now that they weren’t, he didn’t meet his eyes even once.

Sa Hyeon barely touched his food; he just leaned back in his chair and held his wine glass still on the table. Whenever he did make eye contact, Yisun would feel awkward and avert his gaze first. Then Sa Hyeon would lower his gaze and stare at the red wine. His demeanor was quite detached.

His face was very still, as if he was contemplating something, but Yisun felt a little restless.

“…..”

Knowing that Sa Hyeon was someone who liked to always have complete control over a situation, it suddenly occurred to him that maybe he might just be abandoned for his unstable behavior. Without a Restorer, Chord would still be able to break through an S-level dungeon. While his abilities made entering the dungeon easier and more efficient, if it meant keeping things under control, then Sa Hyeon might just remove the unstable variable altogether.

Even if he held the cards of the Guild Leader’s death and Restoration against him, in reality, Sa Hyeon had the higher hand. This deeply troubled Yisun and made him feel a little depressed. He even took a few sips of wine that he normally wouldn’t have touched, before emptying the entire bottle.

The problem was that his tolerance for alcohol was very weak. After only two glasses, he was already feeling a bit tipsy. He wasn’t completely drunk, but he felt faintly intoxicated. His face wasn’t too red, but his drooping eyes gave him away, drawing Sa Hyeon’s questioning gaze towards him. pXD9jK

Sa Hyeon’s question was evident by the look he directed towards him, clearly wondering, ‘Why drink when you can’t handle it?’

But Sa Hyeon simply stared at him without saying anything, so the meal went on in silence until the very end.

Then, as they were walking back to the car, Yisun suddenly stumbled. He hadn’t noticed the step and almost tripped over it, but Sa Hyeon’s hand instantly reached out to grab his arm and steady him. His monotone voice drifted over Yisun’s head, startling him.

“There’s no way you didn’t know you couldn’t handle alcohol at your age, and yet…” AwrRgi

“…”

“Forcing yourself to drink even when you can’t handle it… Does it make you feel better?”

Despite hearing the calm tone that lacked any hint of sarcasm or mockery, Yisun couldn’t answer.

He still felt distant and couldn’t come up with anything else to say. He felt like admitting that he had drank out of frustration would only bring forth more and more questions. He looked down for a moment, then raised his gaze to meet Sa Hyeon’s. Those black eyes swept over him, scanning, before withdrawing in a dry manner. ahJjoT

After returning home, Yisun sat on the couch for a while, before finally pushing himself up and heading for the bathroom. He was used to being alone in his spacious home, but the silence that settled over the room somehow felt heavier than ever. When he first arrived home, he was too drunk to notice the silence. However, as time went on, his mind became clearer and he felt strangely empty.

The cold water splashed on his face, washing away the remnants of his drunkenness. Yisun suddenly felt aggrieved; he had no control over his own nightmares after all. He remembered the dream he’d momentarily forgotten in the presence of Sa Hyeon.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

It was both funny and miserable, as it was the first time he’d ever dreamed of them from his high school days. Even though it was based on his own memories, Yisun tried to cling onto every detail of it. Was it because going to the library made him nostalgic? Although it was a terrible nightmare, it was all he could hold on to. For a long time, Yisun replayed that dream inside his mind as he splashed cold water on his face.

With a deeper sense of melancholy, he stepped outside. He changed his clothes and was about to head to bed when suddenly, he sensed something in the living room. Tap, tap, tap. The sound of languid tapping on something made him pause for a moment before walking towards it. VCLrhg

In the living room, Sa Hyeon was sitting cross-legged, one hand stretched over the armrest, while his index finger rhythmically tapped the couch. It was one of his habits when he was lost in thought.

The unlit living room was pitch black, but the presence of Sa Hyeon in it didn’t seem out of place. The faint moonlight seeped through and fell on his feet, permeating the darkness. Yisun hesitated for a moment before approaching Sa Hyeon and asking cautiously, “Why are you here…?”

“I was thinking that I might’ve been using the wrong approach.”

“Yes…?” lavmtu

His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and caught sight of Sa Hyeon’s face. He inclined his head slightly, and spoke relaxedly while looking at Yisun.

“Yisun-ssi, I’ve been trying to make you feel better, but I keep failing.”

“Ah…” H8zVUI

“I’ve looked into your old friends, and one of them used to bake as a hobby… I’m guessing that’s why you mentioned that you love the smell of freshly baked bread the other day?”

“…….”

“You also had a dream about them in the library this time…”

Sa Hyeon’s hand reached out to Yisun, who couldn’t reply. His hair was still damp and dripping with water, and Sa Hyeon’s touch seemed to be checking whether the droplets that trickled down his cheeks were tears or not. Yisun was slightly embarrassed and claimed he wasn’t crying, but he didn’t move his hand away. The warmth of his hand against his skin, slightly chilled from washing his face with cold water, made him flinch involuntarily. 3AENVK

Sa Hyeon’s thumb gently traced along his cheek, then slowly moved up to his eyes and dabbed at the corners. When he swiped over his eyes, as if to check for tears, Yisun shivered and insisted that he really wasn’t crying, but Sa Hyeon casually brushed it off.

“I moved you away from that house and bought you new clothes all so you wouldn’t think about the corpses… and because you were lonely, I took you to places where you’d be  surrounded by people…but you keep returning to square one.”

“…….”

“Even though I told you I wasn’t going to die, you keep returning to the same pattern. You completely collapse from the slightest of triggers. At this point, it feels like we’re completely trapped at square one.” 8Xb3e1

His low voice echoed in the silence of the room. As Yisun blinked slowly, Sa Hyeon cupped his face, before tilting his head and smiling. The smile he hadn’t seen since they’d left the library spread across his face, unwittingly captivating Yisun’s gaze.

“From the beginning, you never had the intention to improve and escape from that state, did you? You don’t seem to have any desire to break free from the past that haunts you. I wonder if you consider it deceitful to even think about it.”

But the words that came out of his mouth were anything but gentle. Seeing Yisun’s dazed expression, Sa Hyeon, who had pierced through Yisun’s state of mind with great accuracy, spoke calmly, saying that was just how guilt worked. It was a very gentle tone, but one that could hardly be described as affectionate.

Sa Hyeon’s dark eyes met with his. x6oPIX

“Unfortunately, I need your abilities, Yisun-ssi.”

Yisun was relieved for a moment, before he suddenly felt a foreboding sense of unease. He was glad that he would still be able to enter the dungeon along with him, but the hand that caressed his cheek was strangely gentle. No, not just gentle, but…

“The fourth dungeon is emerging tomorrow, and even today, Yisun-ssi, you were still crying over your past.”

Following Sa Hyeon’s actions as he moved closer in the darkness, Yisun had the impression that an even darker shadow engulfed him. A gentle hand brushed his cheek and tucked a stray hair out of his face. kr41UD

“So, I did some research on the fastest way to make you feel better.”

Yisun could feel the warmth of his hand tangling through his cold hair. While the contrasting temperatures created a disparity that made Yisun’s body shiver, Sa Hyeon locked eyes with him and smiled knowingly.

“Shall we have sex, Yisun-ssi?”

For a moment, Yisun’s eyes blinked slowly. He closed and opened them in a daze, wondering if what he was hearing wasn’t a language from an entirely different world. Then he suddenly jolted back, startled, and moved away. oPeFHh

He stood up as if to flee, to avoid being laid down on the sofa on the spot, but Sa Hyeon casually stood up and walked after him leisurely.

“What, what, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?”

“They say that there are three straightforward and surefire ways to improve one’s mood: alcohol, drugs, and sex.”

While Yisun stepped back, Sa Hyeon continued talking nonchalantly as he followed. He raised three fingers to indicate the three methods, folding them down one by one as he spoke. kdzbw

“Drugs are out of the question, and Yisun-ssi can’t handle his alcohol. So, we’re going to have sex, the only option that’s left.”

As Sa Hyeon spoke like he was stating the obvious, Yisun looked at the last raised finger and exclaimed, “Wait, wait!” urgently. It was definitely a large house, yet his back soon hit the wall. With no more room to run, he stretched his hands out in front of him and waved them defensively. The situation was so ridiculous that it made him sound all choked up. Yisun almost felt like crying because he never anticipated such a development.

“I, I’d rather drink alcohol.”

“Why would you choose that option when we’ve already confirmed that alcohol is ineffective?” Sa Hyeon replied and stood in front of Yisun. As if he found this whole situation unbelievably unfair, Yisun appeared as if he would burst into tears at any moment. Sa Hyeon tilted his head for a moment and chuckled. Yisun was rambling about how there would be no problem with his Restoration. fu4sZi

“Why are you making such a face?”

“Well, hearing something like that, of course…”

“Well, there’s no need to be so surprised, It doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll have to engage in intercourse.”

Yisun’s expression turned subtly puzzled at the incomprehensible words, before Sa Hyeon slowly knelt down in front of him. Even in the dim moonlight, his actions were clearly visible, and every step, from Sa Hyeon kneeling down at his feet to looking up at him, was shockingly captured by Yisun’s eyes. BnltKT

Sa Hyeon watched Yisun, who stopped breathing, and smiled.

“It means that I will be serving you, Yisun-ssi.”

His mind that was floating somewhere detached from his body would pull him right back into the chilling reality whenever a numbing stimulus assaulted his head. It was so disorienting that he was almost tempted to believe he was still drunk and dreaming. It would be a little disturbing to dream about such things, but it was definitely better than experiencing the real thing. cuRar0

“Haa, ah… wait–”

He bit his lip tightly, attempting to swallow the sounds back, but he couldn’t help the soft gasps escaping his mouth. Yisun’s trembling hand tried to push against the other man’s shoulder, but Sa Hyeon didn’t budge at all. If anything, his actions only grew more intense whenever he felt it, forcing Yisun to suck in his breath.

He should have run away the moment Sa Hyeon knelt in front of him, but even if he did manage to, he would’ve been caught easily. Yisun recalled with resentment how the band of his trousers was pulled down before he could even react, a hand slid over his underwear, pressing down and squeezing so that he was frozen in place, and the only sounds heard were his sharp breaths and muffled noises.

Yisun had stayed away from sexual activity for a long time, but he’d been living with six men for seven years. Even if he had no interest in it, he wasn’t completely ignorant about it. His friends had once seriously suggested that he might have anorgasmia, and at this moment, Yisun so desperately wished he did. YujHXF

From the moment Sa Hyeon’s hand touched his cock, he had frozen in shock; that was the one place he never expected another person’s warmth to reach, and yet those long fingers naturally wrapped around it. Yisun clearly wanted to resist, but the nervousness from being caught incredibly weakened his resolve. After a few slow, leisurely strokes, his thighs tensed up, and blood slowly rushed south. His head felt hot, all of the heat in his body seemingly seeping downward.

To his great regret, Yisun was still alive, and he couldn’t help but fall apart under the assaulting sensations, the stimulation so dizzying it made his vision blur.

“I was worried you wouldn’t react, but I guess this part is working just fine.” Sa Hyeon smiled as he spoke. Despite the gentle tone, a chilling tension spread through Yisun’s spine.

It was a feeling sparked by the unsettling situation he found himself in; the Sa Hyeon was kneeling in front of him, looking up at him, and it was all so vivid that he felt like something had malfunctioned in his mind. He wanted to dismiss the heat spreading across his face as a lingering hangover he couldn’t shake off. WdbMAB

What unfolded next was even more shocking. It was bad enough that he was holding it in his hands, but then his face slowly approached…

“Ah-! Hngh…Y-you, insane–”

Sa Hyeon took his cock into his mouth. He licked the thick tip first, wrapped his tongue around it and swallowed halfway down the length, then brought his head closer and took it all in at once. The moist saliva in his mouth enveloped Yisun’s shaft, forcing him to painfully gasp for breath. He had always thought that he was weak in the face of Sa Hyeon’s warmth, but he never expected to feel it in such an unexpected place.

His raised fingertips clawed at the wall. Then, with a whimper, he reached out and grasped at Sa Hyeon’s shoulder. The sound of a black shirt wrinkling could be heard. 3tmzU5

Meanwhile, Sa Hyeon pulled his head back for a moment, before plunging halfway down again. He pressed his lips tightly against Yisun’s cock, loosening his grip and pressing down firmly with his tongue. Yisun felt the sensation of his shaft against the roof of Sa Hyeon’s mouth so vividly he could barely think straight, and heat quickly spread throughout his body. Gasping for breaths, he pleaded in a shaky voice. Although Sa Hyeon was the one on his knees, Yisun was still forced to hang onto him. He felt like he had to ask for forgiveness.

“I, I was wron– ah! Mmph…!”

“For what?”

Yisun wished he could at least pull his mouth off him when he spoke, but Sa Hyeon never did. He still had his member in his mouth when he answered, and the stimulation of the act made him dizzy. It felt like hot candle wax melting his brain. w1SJql

“I don’t think Yisun-ssi did anything… worth apologizing about.”

Yisun could feel the tip of his glans rubbing against the roof of Sa Hyeon’s mouth. His teeth had grazed it ever so slightly, causing Sa Hyeon to mutter to himself that it seemed to be quite difficult at first. The words, “I studied, but didn’t have time to practice,” drifted straight into Yisun’s head then away. The sound of something being swallowed, whether it was saliva or some other liquid leaking out the tip of his glans, echoed through the silence and further fueled his shivers.

Sa Hyeon turned his head and teasingly licked at the side of the shaft. The veins twitched as he moved his tongue, lapping up and down the side. Although Yisun didn’t want to look down, whenever Sa Hyeon turned his head, he couldn’t help but follow him with his gaze.

Yisun had pretty much sobered up earlier, yet his head felt as if it had been marinated in alcohol. Or maybe it was the built-up heat melting his mind that made his brain malfunction. His legs shook as he leaned against the wall, about to collapse, but Sa Hyeon’s hands prevented that. He tightly gripped Yisun’s hips and held him firmly against the wall, causing Yisun to swallow his breaths, almost as if on the verge of crying. Sa Hyeon didn’t seem to realize that the added warmth of his hands against the bare skin of Yisun’s pelvis was only tormenting him even more. ch4zmt

Every now and then, when Sa Hyeon went in and deeply swallowed his member, the fingertips gripping Yisun’s hips would tighten, forcing his entire body to tense up. Heat spread through him, and his breathing became ragged and uneven, making his head dizzy. It felt like his senses were blurring in face of the overwhelming stimulation he was experiencing.

He held his breath, on the verge of tears, and clawed at Sa Hyeon’s shoulder. He clearly wanted to push him away with all his might, or at least punch him to shake him off, but the restrictions of his Restoration ability held him back. The restriction of ‘not being able to harm humans’ prevented him from even hitting him. Yisun was really frustrated. He couldn’t hit the other person, even though he was the defenseless one right now.

As a result, his attempts to hit him were reduced to being nothing more than ticklish scratches. His hands trembled and his fingers twitched as they rested on his shoulders. Sa Hyeon’s gaze flitted upwards, puzzled.

“Why, do you keep… scratching like that, huh?” dj2hp8

It was a desperate attempt to push him away, but the gentle touch on Sa Hyeon’s shoulder felt more like an impatient nudge, a distraction. Sa Hyeon pressed his tongue firmly against the writhing vein, making a wet sound.

Yisun couldn’t answer, only letting out little sounds resembling cries and pleas. Fever raged through his body, and his hair clung to his neck and face. The water dripping from his hair, cold at first, soon carried the heat and spread it through his body, making him feel like he was drenched in sweat.

He took a deep breath, his upper body heaving. His breath cracked and rasped a little as his throat dried. Sa Hyeon paused for a moment to glance at Yisun’s reddened face. Even though he was finally granted a moment of respite, Yisun didn’t feel free. He felt disoriented, distant, like he was still trapped inside that hot mouth. And then, a shiver ran through his body as his saliva-coated member was suddenly exposed to the cold outside air.

In the next moment, Sa Hyeon’s lips grazed the tip of the glans, before moving past it onto the shaft with a light smacking sound. Yisun felt strangely empty. Now that Sa Hyeon wasn’t swallowing his member, his thighs twitched tighter and tighter. Yisun tilted his head to the side and, with wide, open eyes, looked down at Sa Hyeon. TMyN P

Sa Hyeon took in every single detail during the whole process, eyes curving into a smile. It was a familiar smile, but coupled with his disheveled appearance and the fact that Yisun was looking down at him, it only served to add an incredibly chilling air to him.

“This is more effective than I thought, you don’t seem to be able to think of anything else.”

Once again, Sa Hyeon’s words barely registered inside Yisun’s mind, his brain already failing him from all the sensations he’d never experienced before. All he could do was breathe in ragged gasps, his upper body jerking and twitching. His legs trembled as if they might give way at any moment. Then, once again, Sa Hyeon’s mouth was on his penis, but this time, he took a different approach.

Whereas earlier he’d just been leisurely swirling his tongue around his member and slowly building up his arousal, this time he was earnestly moving his head. Yisun whimpered and tensed up, the feeling of the thick tip against the delicate flesh of Sa Hyeon’s throat sending chills down his spine. The heat seemed to all but intensify inside. dvrTy7

Yisun’s body was suddenly assaulted with intense pleasure. He could barely hold on to his sanity as Sa Hyeon deeply took in his cock, then swiftly glided along the shaft. Occasionally, he would flick his tongue and press firmly against his length, almost driving Yisun insane. Although it felt like something was leaking out the tip of his glans, there was no sign of it trickling down Sa Hyeon’s lips. The wet sound sloshing in his mouth resonated loudly in the room, and Yisun swallowed hard, feeling faint.

“Ngh…!”

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his abdomen. Even though he had little experience, he instinctively recognized the feeling welling up inside him. Yisun immediately panicked and shoved at Sa Hyeon’s shoulder, but the other man didn’t budge at all. Yisun, in his haste, struggled frantically. He grabbed Sa Hyeon’s hair, trying to push him away, and sobbed.

“Ah—it’s, it’s going to come out- uh, ugh!” Z58qc0

He shoved him with all his might, all the while trying to convince himself that he was pushing him away, not hitting him or striking him. And, finally, when Yisun pushed with all his might, he managed to get him off.

All the layers of stimulation that had been building up exploded in a single breath, and he came.

For a moment, Yisun was dazed by the climax that washed over him, then took a deep breath as he regained his bearings. A trickle of white fluid dripped from the tip of his still-throbbing cock, lightly staining the face of the man in front of him. Even in the darkness of the room, it was clearly visible.

Yisun’s face turned pale. In utter shame and embarrassment, he reached out his hand to Sa Hyeon, who calmly wiped it off with the back of his hand as if it were no big deal. Looking at the stunned Yisun, Sa Hyeon asked nonchalantly. His tone was incredibly casual, making it hard to believe that he had just performed such a shocking act. 0k5FmM

“Well…how do you feel?”

“Uhh, yes? No, that’s…I mean-”

“Hm, I guess you don’t really need to answer.”

Sa Hyeon smirked as Yisun stuttered in embarrassment at the out-of-the-blue question. It was a smile that seemed to be quite satisfied with the situation. And with that same beautiful smile still plastered on his face, he gently grabbed Yisun’s hips once again. o9yxIM

“Though awkward, the face you’re making, Yisun-ssi, looks more alive than ever.”

Yisun couldn’t even breathe as Sa Hyeon moved downward once more. The sensation of climax, briefly interrupted, came again, intense and languorous, destroying his brain.

The darkness that consumed the night was long.

Min: Helloo ~~”, I managed to do an update within a week(more or less?), all thanks to the three lovely people that review my translations yaayyy. SD5l8C

This chapter was like:

[Yisun: *severely depressed*

Sa Hyeon: Maybe a bj can help?]

On a more serious note, the way Sa Hyeon caught onto Yisun’s loneliness and subsequent weakness to human warmth, then immediately acted upon it is terrifying. I love him(though I don’t condone the non-con, but sadly it’s quite common in korean bl…). lmDFax

 Translating the smut was definitely painful though, rating the experience a -1/10.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter~<3
