When Taejung urgently pressed his desire to see Yigyeom while driving, he pressed well, but it became difficult to press after arriving at the parking lot. Throughout the elevator ride, Kwon Taejung anxiously watched the slowly changing numbers. And even when entering the password, he pressed the numbers at twice the usual speed.
Fortunately, it opened without mistakes at once, so he was relieved. If he had to press it again, he might have Hyungken the lock.
“Yigyeom!”
As soon as he entered the entrance, Kwon Taejung called Yigyeom’s name and quickly took off his shoes, entering with caution.
“You don’t have to come out, you don’t have to. I’ll go in.”
Entering the bedroom, there was Yigyeom, half lying down on the bed as expected. Hurriedly approaching the bed, Kwon Taejung grabbed Yigyeom’s legs, lifted them onto the bed, and covered him with a blanket.
“I waited a long time.”
“No, you came faster than I thought.”
“I knew you’d be wandering around too.”
Bending down, Kwon Taejung kissed Yigyeom on the cheek and lips, holding Yigyeom tightly, caressing his face as Yigyeom pressed his lips firmly.
“Oh… You’re so beautiful, what do I do.”
For a while, Kwon Taejung tried not to swear, but now, even though Yigyeom was so beautiful, the swearing didn’t come to mind first. Embracing Yigyeom, who had become a real adult, Kwon Taejung held him tightly, releasing pheromones appropriately.
Whether Yigyeom liked it or not, he embraced him more deeply, brushing his cheek against Kwon Taejung’s shoulder. Kwon Taejung, who had kissed Yigyeom’s lips throughout, slightly pulled away, lightly stroking the flushed cheek.
“Oh, I got tteokbokki.”
“I’ll go out to eat. I feel even sleepier just lying in bed.”
“Really? Then let’s go to the living room.”
Perhaps because Yigyeom stayed in the blanket, Kwon Taejung took him, engulfed by the warmth, to the living room. Carefully sitting him on the sofa, Kwon Taejung went to the kitchen and took out the tteokbokki that his Hyung had prepared, putting it in a bowl. The distance between the family home and their own home was quite close, so the tteokbokki was still hot enough to eat.
“I can smell something delicious.”
“Is it okay to smell this?”
“Yes, maybe because I want to eat it, the smell is fine.”
“Thank goodness.”
Kwon Taejung Hyungught water, milk, and even juice, placing the tray in front of Yigyeom. Then, using a fork, he picked up a piece of tteokbokki and offered it to Yigyeom.
“Try it.”
Yigyeom, with anticipation, took a bite of the tteokbokki. Despite concerns that tasting it might lead to nausea, he found it pleasantly spicy and sweet, thinking it was incredibly delicious.
“It’s so delicious…”
“Really? Ah… I’m relieved it suits your taste. Eat at your own pace.”
“Yes, thank you… Chief. Did you go far to buy this?”
“Oh, actually, my Hyung made it.”
“…Really?”
“Yeah. I called all the tteokbokki places near us that are on the internet, and they all had fixed recipes, so even the mildest flavor could be spicy. I was wondering what to do, and then I remembered that my Hyung and sister had eaten tteokbokki before, so I called them, and they made it for me.”

Taking a piece of tteokbokki and offering it to Kwon Taejung, Yigyeom chuckled as Kwon Taejung, without any complaints, accepted and ate it.
“Do you enjoy watching me eat?”
“…Yes. And because you’re cute….”
“Babe, am I cute?”
Resting his head on Yigyeom’s shoulder and playfully nudging him, Yigyeom laughed a bit louder than usual. The laughter echoing in the living room made Kwon Taejung feel good, so he leaned against Yigyeom and closed his eyes.
“Keep finding me cute in the future.”
Affectionately holding Yigyeom’s hand, Kwon Taejung, who had been kissing him on the lips all along, pulled away to make him comfortable while eating. Just watching Yigyeom continuously move the fork without stopping made him feel full.
Normally, Kwon Taejung would have said that tasting one or two pieces would be enough, but today, he found himself eating quite a few that Yigyeom offered. It seemed that along with loving Yigyeom, his taste buds were also becoming similar, making the tteokbokki oddly delicious today.
“Finished eating?”
“Yes, I’m full now. I feel like I ate more than usual.”
“I guess our Piyak was good too.”
After giving a kiss on Yigyeom’s cheek and making kissing sounds on his stomach, Kwon Taejung, feeling sleepy again after eating, smiled as he looked at Yigyeom, whose eyes were getting heavy.
“I’d love to put you to sleep, but if you sleep right after eating, you might get indigestion. Let’s wait for an hour.”
“Chief, I want to go for a walk….”
“A walk?”
“Yes… I think it would be nice to go outside and walk a bit.”
“Should we? Let’s go for a walk then. Um, since I didn’t change my clothes after coming, I guess I can just go out like this. Let’s go.”
“Oh… I’ll be back after going to the room for a moment.”
Watching Yigyeom, who suddenly got up from the sofa and went to the room, Kwon Taejung became curious and followed him inside. Since he had already washed and changed into Yigyeom’s clothes when he came from his parents’ place, there was no need to change into outdoor clothes. Kwon Taejung wondered why he wanted to change.
“Is the clothing uncomfortable?”
“N-no, it’s not that…”
“Yeah, not that?”
“…Uh, underwear….”
“Underwear? Oh….”
Only then did Kwon Taejung realize that Yigyeom wasn’t wearing underwear. Oh, damn it. I should’ve forgotten about it.
“I’ll put it on for you.”
“…What? No, I can put it on by myself.”
“Why? You know I’m good at putting on underwear. I’m good at taking it off too.”
“Uh, I’ll quickly put it on and come out….”
Blushing, Yigyeom closed the door behind Kwon Taejung, who followed him into the room. Kwon Taejung, with his large build, found it difficult to resist, so he willingly let Yigyeom push him out and leaned against the closed door, sending a message to his Hyung.
[Hyung, really, thank you.]
[Yigyeom and I enjoyed it so much.]
[Hyung: I’m glad you enjoyed it.]
[Hyung: I’ll do it again next time.]
[Hyung: If you need anything, let me know anytime.]
Ah, really, my Hyung is so kind. Smiling as he looked at his phone, Kwon Taejung still had a bashful expression as Yigyeom came out of the room.
“Let me see if you put it on well.”
Slightly leaning in, Kwon Taejung trailed his fingertips down Yigyeom’s waist, and as he inserted his fingers into the waistband of the underwear, Yigyeom flinched. Kwon Taejung regretted having to remove his fingers just like that, but as a man in his thirties, he withdrew his fingers for the walk.
“You really put it on well by yourself. I allowed you to put it on by yourself, but I’ll be the one to take it off.”
With an explicit whisper in his ear, Kwon Taejung kissed the blushing tip of Yigyeom’s ear and wrapped one arm around Yigyeom’s back.
“There’s a park nearby; shall we go there?”
“Yes, that sounds good.”
“If it gets tiring while walking, let me know, okay? Never push yourself too hard.”
“Yes, I’ll make sure to let you know.”
“Let’s go.”
Today, the opening door felt lighter than usual. Perhaps it was because of the good mood. Two people who simultaneously had the same thought stepped out through the door, walking in sync.
Maybe because it was warm, even though it was night, the park was quite crowded. Yigyeom carefully walked through the crowd with Kwon Taejung. Although he hadn’t completely avoided going out, intentionally coming out to walk like this was quite a long time, and he found the air, imbued with the warmth of a summer night sticking to his face, very pleasant.
“Ah, it’s been a while since we took a walk.”
“I’m so happy to be out.”
“If you like it, let’s come out more often, when the conditions are good.”
“Yes, that sounds good.”
Feeling the intertwined fingers between his, Yigyeom shook their hands slowly back and forth. The feeling of their fingers firmly interlocked, as if they would never come apart, was so comforting. Even in the heat, he didn’t want to let go forever.
“Um, Yigyeom. About what Mom suggested during the day.”
“Oh, yes…”
“Yigyeom, my mom said it’s okay for you to come in and live, but I wanted to hear more about it. If it’s something difficult that you feel you should listen to it because my mom said so, you don’t have to.”
“It’s not like that. I really… but I thought it might be good.”
“As I mentioned earlier, they are all good people, and there probably won’t be any trouble between us and Yigyeom, but still, it will take time for us to adapt to each other. I’m worried that it might be difficult for you during that process.”
Yigyeom, knowing the meaning behind Kwon Taejung’s words, listened quietly. They were indeed good people, but it could still be a bit awkward and challenging at times. Yigyeom fully understood his concerns.
“So, I thought it might be better not to go in right away and instead come back and forth often. If we see each other frequently, we’ll become closer, and then I can drop you off when I go to work, and you can stay there for a few days if you want. Plus, honestly, both of us want to live together.”
After hearing Kwon Taejung’s calm words, it seemed better to follow his suggestion. Rather than being together before getting close, it seemed more important to become accustomed to each other’s presence first.
“I’ll do as Chief says. I’m fine as long as Chief is there. And… even if I don’t live there, I can still see you often….”
“Yeah, if Yigyeom wants to go, you can go anytime.”
Yigyeom firmly held Kwon Taejung’s hand, squeezing it a bit tighter, and leaned his head lightly against Kwon Taejung’s shoulder. The scent of the thick grass on the summer night brushed against the tip of his nose.
“Your mom, since the day we met your mom and dad, kept treating me warmly. I felt so, so happy.”
“….”
“Eating dinner with the family, greeting each other warmly when entering and leaving the house… When I was young, I envied those things a lot.”
“….”
“While it might seem natural to others, it wasn’t for me…. After Grandpa got sick, he couldn’t talk much, and he mostly lay down, so there were many times when it felt like I was alone. So… I’m really grateful and happy for their words about wanting to spend time with me.”
When Mom asked how it was coming home, he had that face like he was about to cry. So… that’s how it was. Kwon Taejung raised the hand they held, deliberately shaking it more lightly and cheerfully to make Yigyeom smile, letting Yigyeom know that this hand would never let go even if shaken like this.
“Now, I also have… parents, right? It’s not something that can be achieved just by my efforts… Thanks to Chief, I have parents, a family… I’m so, so happy.”
Seeing Yigyeom smiling contentedly, it seemed like tears would well up again, so Kwon Taejung took a long breath and deliberately smiled subtly. Next time he goes to the center, he thought he should definitely ask Johyunjun why he acts like this.
“You said you envied it when you were young.”
“Yes…”
“You’re still young, Yigyeom.”
“….”
“You can do whatever you want, whatever you desire. I’ll make sure of that.”
“….”
“And now, you’re not really alone. I’m here, Mom is here, Dad is here… and there’s also Noona and Hyung. Oh, and Piyak is here too.”
The mention of Piyak making a sound was cute, and Yigyeom nodded with a smile. This summer night was truly delightful for Yigyeom, filled with love and moments with Kwon Taejung.
“Chief…”
“Yeah.”
“…But still, I… like Chief the most.”
“Really?”
“Yes… I just need Chief to be there.”
“Me too. As long as I have my Yigyeom.”
Tilting their heads, Kwon Taejung and Yigyeom, regardless of the people around them, exchanged kisses, their faces lit up with smiles, facing the warm night breeze. Yigyeom also moved forward with a smile, finding this moment, filled with love, truly wonderful.
I am so happy for them!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍾🍾🍾❤️❤️❤️
so glad you’re enjoying it!
