“It’s a tree.”

Inseop muttered as he touched the wall of the bathtub.

“Hinoki”

“Ah… . Hinoki”

Inseop didn’t know, but he followed Wooyeon’s words. A faint scent wafted from the large wooden bathtub. It was large enough for two people to sit on.

Lee Wooyeon, who lifted Inseop and brought him to the bathroom, started filling the bathtub with water. No matter how much Inseop said that he was going to wash himself, Lee Wooyeon didn’t listen. Lee Wooyeon washed Inseop and soaked him in the bathtub water he had filled. The problem was that Lee Wooyeon also took off his clothes and entered the bathtub.

Inseop sat down with his arms wrapped around his knees. He was worried that Lee Wooyeon would find out about the bruises left on his chest. Fortunately, he was lying on his chest the whole time they had sex, so the area around his chest was rubbed red and the bruises were not visible.

It will be fine.

Inseop glanced down and checked his body.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Lee Wooyeon leaned against the bathtub railing and closed his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, Inseop was surprised to find out that he had moved.

“It’s nothing.”

Inseop answered while crouching down. Wooyeon opened his eyes. He stared at Inseop without saying a word.

Inseop was a bit embarrassed and rubbed his face. Lee Wooyeon could not have known that he was conscious of his gaze, but he seldom took his gaze away. He also never smiled.

“…Do you have anything to say?”

“No.”

Lee Wooyeon replied briefly and tilted his head back. Inseop wiggled his toes in the bathtub.

He was being weird. Lee Wooyeon’s attitude did not change at all. He didn’t want a dramatic change after sex, but he thought at least the air of walking on thin ice would soften.

He, even though he is still in the bathtub together, was just as awkward as a co-worker who happened to meet in the same bath and sat next to each other.

.. Even when he gave him a blowjob, he seemed in a bad mood. Was it because he was too clumsy that it was not fun?

With a sullen face, Inseop silently changed only the movement of the water surface in the bathtub.

He opened his mouth.

“Are your hands okay?

“Yes”

Lee Wooyeon didn’t think much of it, but Inseop was worried about the scars left on his hands.

“The next time something like that happens, I think you’d better get help from your manager..”

So he ended up saying things where he couldn’t even find his worth. Lee Wooyeon brushed up his wet hair and looked at Inseop.

Water ran down his arm and dripped into the bathtub. There was an awkward, suffocating silence.

“If I need help, I will.”

A formal answer came back, as if it had been put on a plate. Further conversation seemed impossible. Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes again and leaned against the bathtub and laid down. Inseop’’s gaze naturally turned to his face.

Has he lost some weight?

Inseop calmly looked at him.

“Aren’t you tired of my face?”

Lee Wooyeon suddenly asked.

“What?”

“That’s why I thought you only wanted to do it from the back”

“No. Absolutely not.”

Even though Inseop immediately refuted, Lee Wooyeon did not laugh. His jokes, which had previously been blunt, were light. Even if he was embarrassed by the mischievousness, it was so scary

…he didn’t lose interest.

“…I have something to tell you.”

At Inseop’s words, Wooyeon opened his eyes and slowly pulled his chin up. For a moment, Inseop seemed to be very nervous, so Inseop also put strength into his body.

“I’m listening.”

It was the same voice as when he announced his presence over the phone. Strangely, Inseop felt his throat dry even though he was in a bathroom full of steam. After rubbing the corner of his mouth once with the palm of his hand, Inseop continued.

“…Is it because of the cat?”

“What?”

“Why are you mad at me?”

When he went up to the second floor earlier, there was a cat tower installed in the room he saw. When Lee Wooyeon said he wanted a cat, Inseop couldn’t answer right away, which bothered him the whole time. Come to think of it, that was how the atmosphere between the two became awkward.

“… “

Lee Wooyeon’s expression subtly subsided. Inseop became a bit anxious.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t answer right away. I think Wooyeon doesn’t like animals very much. I will try to get it again.”

Lee Wooyeon burst into laughter.

“Haha. Do you really think so?”

Lee Wooyeon’s laughter echoed through the bathroom ceiling. Inseop liked Wooyeon’s laughter. He liked the light shaking of the air. But now, the more he heard the laughter, the more he seemed to be weighed down by the air around me.

“You’ve been waiting a long time, but since it’s a cat…”

“…”

Lee Wooyeon’s smile disappeared from his face, which was muttering unexpected words.

“Inseop doesn’t know anything about me. Is that why you like me?”

“That’s not… oh.”

Wooyeon lightly splashed water on Inseop’s face. While Inseop wiped the water from his face, Lee Wooyeon stood up.

“Warm up a bit more and come out.”

Lee Wooyeon said as he put on his bathrobe.

“Mr. Wooyeon. That’s not it, I…”

Inseop, who was about to stand up, was seated in the bathtub again by Wooyeon.

“Count to 100 and come out. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave this house until Inseop gets pregnant.”

His eyes were too fierce to dismiss it as a joke and follow Lee Wooyeon. As he tied the laces of his gown, he added,

“Your passport should be somewhere in the moving luggage. I’ll get it for you later when I have time. Count the numbers.”

After Lee Wooyeon left the bathroom, Inseop lowered his big eyes as if tearing them down. He didn’t know what it was, but he felt like he ruined everything again.

“…Stupid.”

Inseop put his head on his lap and started counting slowly.

Inseop opened his eyes at the sign of the person moving. Lee Wooyeon, who was buttoning up his shirt sleeve, found Inseop waking up and turned his head away.

“Are you awake?”

“Where are you going?”

“I have something to talk about with the lawyer.”

Inseop stood up from his seat.

“Can I give you a ride?”

“That’s Okay.”

Lee Wooyeon calmly and resolutely refused. Inseop wrapped himself in a sheet with a slightly sullen face and stood up.

“You can get some more sleep.”

“No. I’ll wash up and go home.”

Lee Wooyeon’s mouth twisted as he fastened the buttons.

“Did you hide a jar of honey at home?”

“A jar of honey? There’s no such thing. Oh, there was some honey in the gift set I received from the company the other day. If you need it, I’ll bring it to you.”

When Lee Wooyeon didn’t answer and just looked at him, Inseop looked at him and continued talking.

“…If not, tell me what you need. I will buy you a housewarming gift.”

“A housewarming?”

Inseop was surprised. Due to Lee Wooyeon’s personality, there was no way he would invite people to his house just because he had moved.

“Then, I’ll give you a congratulatory gift for moving.”

“Would you like to congratulate me?”

“Of course I have to. That’s good.”

Again.

Lee Wooyeon looked at him blankly without saying anything. Inseop broke out in a cold sweat, wondering if he had committed a great disrespect. He may have a Korean moving culture that he is not aware of.

“When I’m sure it’s going to be a good thing, then I’ll get it.”

He didn’t understand what he was saying, but Inseop quietly nodded his head.

Lee Wooyeon, with an expressionless face, buttoned up the sleeve on the other side of him, and suddenly said something very absurd.

“You know there’s an awards ceremony on the weekend, right?”

“Weren’t you not going?”

Inseop changed his posture and sat down and asked.

After that incident, all schedules were canceled. No matter how much the other party started, it was true that Lee Wooyeon was violent, so it was good to show self-restraint.

“Is there a case where the grand prize winner is absent?”

“… ”

It wasn’t wrong, but he couldn’t say it was. Inseop muttered with a worried expression.

“I’m sure you’ll hear the bad words…”

Lee Wooyeon put on his jacket and then paused and looked back at Inseop.

When this happens, many people worry about Lee Wooyeon. In particular, CEO Kim used to worry so much that he couldn’t sleep. However, looking at that aspect, he rarely worried about Lee Wooyeon’s heart being hurt.

“I’ve told the company and I’ll seek the cooperation of reporters as much as possible, but not all articles will go out amicably. I’ll try, though, so don’t worry too much.”

Lee Wooyeon thought that after bringing Inseop to his house and having sex with him, he would feel better. But the result was crap. His anxiety, which had been pushed back, got tangled up with his desire, and he pushed him.

After all, yesterday’s sex turned out to be more rowdy than usual. He couldn’t contain his ferocious appetite, knowing that he couldn’t do that. It was beastly sex, with no affectionate words or kisses. Even after that, Inseop treated him like a normal person.

“… ”

When their eyes met, Inseop smiled.

Lee Wooyeon swallowed his breath slowly. Suppressed anger and sexual desire intertwined. His lower stomach ached from his half-erect penis.

“On the day of the awards ceremony, after it’s over, don’t go anywhere else.”

Lee Wooyeon turned his body to the other side and continued his words in a low voice.

“I have something to say.”

“What do you mean?”

Inseop asked carefully. If you have something to say, you can do it now, but it was ominous to postpone it until that day.

“It’s important.”

“… ”

The ominousness intensified.

Even after seeing Inseop’s pale face, Lee Wooyeon pretended not to see.

“I’ll ride the CEO’s car today.”

“All right. I will take the bus.”

Inseop quickly raised his head and replied.

“Take my car.”

“It’s okay. I’ll take this opportunity to know the bus route here..”

“You don’t need to know that.”

Wooyeon cut off Inseop’s words. It sounded as if he would never have to come here again, so Inseop felt very intimidated.

“Why would a person who can’t even walk properly take the bus?”

His kind regard has returned. Inseop felt like going back and forth between hot and cold baths.

Lee Wooyeon’s behavior was friendly, but his eyes and tone were still cold.

He said thank you in a small voice. Lee Wooyeon opened the drawer where the car keys were stored.

“I’ll return it right away.”

“You can give it later, so don’t worry about it.”

“No. I’ll leave it in the parking lot tomorrow morning. Rather, I’ll be less concerned about that.”

Inseop waved his hand. He was anxious to park the car in a good place because the parking lot of the apartment where he lived was cramped. Moreover, his father taught him that if he borrows someone else’s property, he must return it as soon as possible.

“Yes, then. I want to get mine as soon as possible.”

Lee Wooyeon’s gaze slowly traced Inseop’s cheek. The gaze, which felt greedy for some reason, gradually went down. Inseop lowered his head. He felt naked even though he had the sheet wrapped around him. A fever rose in his head. He remembered how the man, perfectly dressed from head to toe, coveted him yesterday. The inside of his stomach rumbled and the hole throbbed. It felt as if Lee Wooyeon’s genitals were still inside his body. Inseop talked as if he wanted to hide his embarrassment.

“Then, I’d like the oldest and cheapest car, please. It doesn’t matter if it was in an accident. Don’t worry. I’m good at driving, so I won’t have an accident.”

Lee Wooyeon put down the Mercedes key he was about to pick up and picked up the one next to it.

“Then, here.”

Inseop awkwardly took the key Lee Wooyeon threw with one hand.

“I hate having my things ruined.”

”… “

“So return it without any flaw.

Lee Wooyeon left the room.
