After finishing his visit to the intensive care unit early in the morning, Yigyeom wiped his tearstained eyes with the back of his hand. The caregiver comforted Yigyeom by patting him on the back.
It was heartbreaking to see his grandfather look much smaller and older in just one day. Even though he had overcome the crisis and was slowly recovering to the point where he could be moved to a regular hospital room, he was scared to think that he might have passed away if he had been living like before without the caregiver and Kwon Taejung.
What would have happened if he had really been home alone? If only he had come home after his part-time job and seen his grandfather who passed away…Just the thought of it made Yigyeom shiver in fright.
“Will you stay here all day? Go, get some rest. I will be here.”
“No. It’s not hard for me to stay here. I decided to go for a walk and have lunch with a friend in the hospital basement. Don’t worry, Yigyeom, because I won’t be sitting here forever. I’m not waiting here uninvited and being pitiful. It may sound cold, but I also work in the meantime, so you don’t have to feel sorry for me or anything like that. I hope you understand.”
Yigyeom knew that the caregiver was saying this because she didn’t want him to feel sorry for her or to think it was burdening, so he just nodded with a grateful and apologetic heart.
“…Yes…Still, thank you very much. Thanks to you, my grandfather is still surviving.”
“I didn’t do anything. Still, I think I’m really glad you’re not alone. They said the evening visitation hours start at 6 o’clock.”
“Yes, but I’m glad to hear he’s better than yesterday.”
“I know. Thinking of your grandfather, Yigyeom, I think he will recover quickly. He can’t go anywhere and leave such a kind and beautiful grandchild.”
The caregiver patted Yigyeom on the back again and sat down on a chair in the family waiting room. Yigyeom also sat next to her and checked his phone. There was a message from Kwon Taejung when he arrived home.
[Director: I think it will be around 10 o’clock when I arrive]
[Director: Even if you miss me, just be patient]
Yigyeom, who smiled slightly at the last message, quietly looked at the letters on the screen and typed back his reply.
[I’ll wait]

After washing up, Kwon Taejung laid out on the bed to dry his hair. Kwon Taejung closed his eyes, wishing he could sleep like this for a day or two without thinking about anything. He picked up his cell phone when he heard it vibrating.
[Yeon Yigyeom: I’ll wait]
[Yeon Yigyeom: You can come slowly, so drive carefully]
Kwon Taejung reflexively got up and hurried to the dressing room. He just wanted to dress a little more comfortably, but since he was going out on a weekday, he thought it would be better to dress up.
Also, since he had to take Yigyeom to the department store, he couldn’t wear just anything. Of course, even if he wore anything, there wasn’t anything in this house that could be called ‘anything’.
Kwon Taejung picked out a suit and shirt, brought them to the bed, and placed them on the bed. He called his personal shopper Yoo Jiyeon and took out a few underwear, a shirt and pants that were comfortable to wear while sleeping, from the drawer and threw them next to the bed as well.
“Yes, this is Kwon Taejung. I’d like to stop by the shop around 3 o’clock today. Yes. I want to see clothes fitting for my friend whom I bought sneakers for, before. I need your help to decide what I should buy. I think the smallest size will do…Well, we can go and judge the sizes. Do you remember his face from back then?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Kwon Taejung, who was quietly listening to Yoo Jiyeon’s words about noting down Yigyeom’s vibes and mood, nodded. The idea of a clean and neat image suited him.
“Tfr, la kbeiv yf clmf ab kfjg mbwobgajyif mibatfr atja ola atja lwjuf. P jugff, remt j asqf bo ibbx kbeiv ibbx ubbv bc tlw. Vlcmf tf’r qgfaas jmalnf vblcu qjga-alwf kbgx. Yo mbegrf, qifjrf. P’ii mbcajma sbe ktfc P jgglnf. Yxjs.”

“Also… .”
Kwon Taejung, who was looking around to see if there was something to do, took some of the medicine from the bottle containing the inhibitors, put it in a smaller bottle, and put it in his pocket. He thought he would leave this in the car he needed whenever he slept in another place.
Finally, Kwon Taejung went to the place where there were about ten car keys and picked the keys for the car that had the largest interior and the best ride comfort. Since he might have to sleep in the car again, he planned to mainly drive in large cars with comfortable back seats from now on.
Now everything was perfect. Kwon Taejung left the house feeling relieved and sent a message to Yigyeom.
[I’m leaving now]
[It will take about 30 minutes]
* * *
Upon receiving Kwon Taejung’s message telling him to come down to the first floor when he arrived, Yigyeom quickly went down and found Kwon Taejung. He could see him sticking out like a sore thumb among the busy people passing by. He was a tall and handsome man who stood out wherever he was. Yigyeom quickly approached Kwon Taejung.
“Are you here?”
“Hey, how is your grandpa doing?”
“He doesn’t have any strength yet, so he just keeps sleeping. Still, I heard he’s better than yesterday…It’s best to wait for now.”
“I’m glad he’s feeling better. What time is the afternoon hours for visitation? Was it 6? Or 7?”
“6.”
“We can go have lunch, go to the department store, then go home, rest for a bit, and then go to the hospital again, then. We can have our dinner after we are done with the visit.”
Yigyeom, who tilted his head for a moment when he heard that he was going to the department store, remembered what Kwon Taejung said yesterday about buying him clothes. The moment he remembered that he had masturbated with his Tee, his fingertips started to tingle.
“You must be hungry. You didn’t even eat breakfast. Let’s go.”
“Yes…”
Kwon Taejung’s fingers touched his itchy fingertips. Kwon Taejung, who was naturally trying to hold Yigyeom’s hand, took a look at the people around him and tilted his head towards Yigyeom.
“Should I not hold your hands?”
Yigyeom straightened his clenched fingers and very slightly hooked his fingers onto Kwon Taejung’s fingers. It was a very weak gesture and his fingers could easily be released if he twists it in the other direction even lightly.
“You’ve become bolder, babe.”
“Well, don’t call me that…”
“Why? We slept together twice. We weren’t just sleeping, we kind of touched ours…”
Yigyeom, who covered Kwon Taejung’s mouth with his palm to prevent him from speaking anymore, took his hand away only after observing that no more sound could be made. Kwon Taejung just laughed the whole time, wondering what was so good about it.
“Okay. I’ll talk about that when we’re alone.”
“…You don’t have to do it even then…”
“With whom I should talk about it, then? It’s so cruel to keep to myself.”
Yigyeom’s cheeks heated up slightly at Kwon Taejung’s charming words, who even leaned over to make eye contact. Even though he was tall and looked somewhat cold when he wasn’t smiling, that soft voice suited him very well.
“…Then…When it’s just the two of us…a little bit…”
“Yes, just a little bit.”
Kwon Taejung smiled at Yigyeom’s permission and placed one of his fingers around Yigyeom’s finger again. It was so cute that he was holding onto it and tagging along with him like a kid, so even as he walked to the parking lot, Kwon Taejung laughed the whole time. These days, he felt like he was smiling all the time because of Yigyeom.
“Chief, aren’t you tired? Your arms must have been sore because you slept on the floor yesterday and made arm pillows for me…”
“I liked it. Should I just move in and live in your grandfather’s house until he comes home?”
“… It would be really inconvenient for you if you stayed there not just for a day, but every day…”
“It’s not like we’re just staying at home together all the time. Or maybe I should buy a futon.”
Yigyeom, who was watching Kwon Taejung mumbling, climbed into the passenger seat first and looked at the white box placed in the back seat. He didn’t know what it was, but it was similar in shape to the cake box.
“How about buying a real futon? There are pretty nice and fluffy ones in the market these days.”
“… Like a mattress?”
“Yeah. I would be able to sleep much more comfortably if I had it.”
Kwon Taejung, who was in the driver’s seat, started the engine and looked at Yigyeom as if asking how he was feeling. Yigyeom smiled and shook his head slightly. He didn’t think there was a need to stock up on good things because he had to move houses in two months anyway.
“The room is small…I think it will be difficult to take it out later.”
“We can call someone if needed to.”
“… I haven’t decided where I’m going to move yet, and it might be smaller than my current house.”
As Yigyeom talked about the aftermath of the demolition, Kwon Taejung looked at his face for a moment, then nodded and finished talking about the futon. He didn’t want to make Yigyeom upset by saying more.
“How do you like this car? The seat is big, so I plan to ride on it when I meet you in the future.”
“It’s comfortable and nice.”
“The back seat is also spacious. It may not be comfortable to sleep in the car, but I think it would be more comfortable if it was a little more spacious.”
“… In the car again…Are we going to sleep together?”
Kwon Taejung laughed out loud when he saw Yigyeom asking the question as if he was really curious, but as he left the hospital, he stopped laughing and started to sound serious.
“You don’t know what people think. I might suddenly feel crazy and want you to hang out with me. So what should I do, then? We have to stop the car and cuddle together.”
“…Why me…”
“Do you know what cuddling is?”
“…Yes.”
The moment Kwon Taejung saw Yigyeom slightly nodding his head as if he knew, he felt his lower stomach rumbling. It was so cute when he nodded as if he knew so innocently.
“What is it?”
“… Sleeping together…”
“Now, how do people sleep together?”
“… It’s too crude…”
“Oh, shit. Why did I even ask that? I am so horny, right now.”
Yigyeom’s answer was enough to make Kwon Taejung momentarily insane. Kwon Taejung immediately stopped the car on the side of the road and fell silent, suppressing the desire to mess up his words, which were still crude.
“Common sense tells me this isn’t a bad thing to say, but I guess it’s because you did it.”
“…”
“Do you know what horny means?”
“…Getting excited…”
“Fuck…”
There was absolutely nothing about Yigyeom that wasn’t pretty. He was so pretty that the way he spoke, the way he was honest, and even the tips of his ears that turned red from embarrassment after talking were all overlooked.
