“Haah, haah…”
Suhyeon, his lips bitten and sucked, panted as he lay on the bed, looking up at Hajin.
Tears leaked out, blurring his vision.
Even without a mirror, he knew his entire face was flushed.
It wasn’t just his face; his lips, the corners of his eyes, and even his body were filled with heat.
Kissing Hajin always provided a sensation that turned his mind blank, but today it was even more intense.
—Suhyeon is mine.
Was it because of that growling declaration of war, like a beast marking its territory?
Or was it because the blue eyes looking down at him while pinning him between two arms and Hajin’s face looked… to put it bluntly, too sexy?
Suhyeon wasn’t the only one exhaling feverish breaths.
Hajin’s eyes, as he continued the kiss with a force that felt like it would melt Suhyeon away, were thick with desire and heat directed at him.
The fact that such a handsome face was making that kind of expression toward him…
Suhyeon wrapped his arms around Hajin’s neck once more.
With a wet sound, this time Suhyeon’s tongue parted Hajin’s lips and invaded his mouth.
Hajin, who seemed to falter at Suhyeon’s lead, pulled his lips away for a moment.
“Ha,”
Along with a short sigh, a feverish heat rushed out.
“Heut…!”
And then, Hajin lunged at Suhyeon’s lips like a beast off its leash.
His mouth, loosened and wrapped in melting heat, opened helplessly, and Suhyeon accepted Hajin’s rough tongue.
He felt goosebumps rise as the tongue licked deep against the mucous membrane.
Suhyeon kept his balance by circling his arms around Hajin’s neck, pulling his head forward to lift his body.
Their feverish breaths mingled, and a refreshing body scent mixed with heat shimmered, tempting him.
Hajin leaned back against the headboard as if flowing with the movement.
While their tongues were incessantly tangled, a position was formed where Suhyeon sat astride Hajin’s lap.
The air on the heated bed was humid. Suhyeon felt something hot clumping in his stomach.
It was something on the verge of transforming into pure desire.
At this rate… Suhyeon’s face turned deep red.
He didn’t hate it. In fact, he liked it.
The desire for Hajin was slowly blooming inside him as well.
Suhyeon felt something bulging from Hajin’s body where he was sitting.
It seemed he wasn’t the only one feeling a primal urge.
This level of atmosphere was quite something…
“…Suhyeon.”
Flushed, Suhyeon met Hajin’s eyes at the urgent voice filled with heat.
And then he felt something strange.
Hajin’s face was twisted in a frown.
Before Suhyeon could even blink, Hajin scooped him up and set him down beside him.
Huh?
“Wait, just a moment.”
Then, after backing away, he vanished into the bathroom attached to the room in an instant.
Blue remnants fluttered, suggesting he had even used his ability.
Ah? Suhyeon blinked blankly.
Right before the door closed, he saw that the center of Hajin’s pants was swollen enough to be clearly visible even from a distance.
So, it meant Hajin was clearly aroused and felt desire for him.
Did he… run away? Why? For what reason?
Feeling the heat that had been warming his body gradually fade, Suhyeon slid down onto the bed and buried his face in the pillow.
Not that he was obsessed, but it felt like the right atmosphere to at least do something.
They were adults, and even lovers.
The scent left behind where the owner had been just a moment ago faintly tickled the tip of Suhyeon’s nose.
Hadn’t there been another timing previously where they couldn’t do it because Yihan barged in?
And the Hajin from just now really… made the urge surge.
Suhyeon buried himself deeply in the bed, feeling strangely dejected.
Unaware that Suhyeon was rolling around outside feeling dejected, Hajin, who had dashed into the bathroom, hurriedly turned on the cold water.
Swaaa—.
A stream of water, so cold it was icy, soaked Hajin’s body without him even taking off his clothes.
Hajin gripped the wall and looked down at the floor.
His lower half, heated to the limit, showed no signs of subsiding even under the water.
Now, he felt like he was truly going crazy.
Once before, when a similar atmosphere arose—the day after he brought Suhyeon from the association’s ward—he thought he was aroused then, but seeing today, he realized.
Back then, it was mild.
At that time, he was just angry at Yihan for interfering with the heating atmosphere; Suhyeon just felt lovely and cute, to the point where he wanted to take a little bite.
But now.
Hajin recalled the sight of Suhyeon sitting on top of his body just a moment ago.
The sight of his lover looking down at him with flickering tears, panting heavily, and his pale face stained red… made his urge surge up like madness.
Suhyeon couldn’t have looked more beautiful, and a desire to swallow him whole in one bite grew instantly, clouding his reason.
If he had slipped up, he might have lost control and treated Suhyeon messily.
Actually, more than half of his mind had already flipped.
In a split second, his sanity returned, and he pulled the reins of reason to escape. Hajin furrowed his brow.
“…Ha, I’m going crazy.”
His member, which he thought might subside in the freezing temperature, throbbed with renewed strength the moment he thought of Suhyeon.
When he lowered his zipper, he could see it standing robustly.
It was even leaking a cloudy fluid, faithful to his desire.
“I’m going crazy…”
Hajin had never been aroused by anyone before, nor had he felt desire surge like this.
He even had a fastidious streak, so being aroused by a person was even more unusual.
Until now, he had dismissed such acts as dirty, feeling only contempt and disgust.
Even during his reckless youth, he had never felt the sexual desire that any man that age usually has.
You need someone to be excited by to feel sexual desire.
In other words, this was the first time he had an erection like this, and the first time he felt a desire close to instinct—all because of Suhyeon.
Everything was a maddening stimulus, and Suhyeon’s attitude, which seemed to neither push him away nor reject him, had flipped a switch.
A beastly longing to prey on Suhyeon hungrily boiled inside him.
He felt like he had to extinguish this somehow before he could approach Suhyeon again.
Otherwise, he felt like he might hurt that small animal.
“I’m going crazy…”
Muttering words he had lost count of, Hajin stood stiffly under the pouring cold water and glared at his center, which showed no sign of going down the more he thought of Suhyeon.
Only after a long time passed did he let out a sigh and, under the cold water, creakily gripped his member.
“…Ha.”
The vivid image of Suhyeon in his mind was enough to make him stroke himself.
It was quite a while later when Hajin finally emerged from the bathroom.
When the afternoon—which had been embarrassing, shy, sweet, and somewhat dejected—passed and evening arrived.
“Suhyeon-gun!!! I heard you’ve made your decision, so I came running!!”
After dinner, Suhyeon, who was idling with Hajin in the first-floor living room, turned his head at the booming voice that had now become quite familiar.
There was that incident with Hajin, and it was a huge shame, but regardless, he had successfully gained Hajin’s consent to become his exclusive Guide.
Suhyeon flushed again as he belatedly remembered that the purpose he had forgotten while being disappointed was that, but that’s another story.
When he sent a text again after the brief pause, the Association President said he would visit Suhyeon in an instant.
And he actually showed up.
“In a way, it’s a predicted outcome, but it turned out really well! It’s not a bad thing for a couple of ‘Specials’ with similar power levels to sign an exclusive contract, indeed!”
‘Hahahaha!! As expected of youth!’
The words the President poured out afterward along with his booming laughter were very, quite embarrassing, though.
Anyway, the President showed examples of contracts between an exclusive Esper and an exclusive Guide and explained the contract procedures notarized by the Association in detail.
First, Hajin and Suhyeon would primary coordinate the contract terms and draft the contract; then the Association would verify the contract; and once the contract was finalized, the duty to guide as an exclusive Guide would be assigned.
For a while, Suhyeon’s daily life, which had consisted of nothing but vomiting blood and collapsing, then rolling around Hajin’s house once he stabilized, was joined by a busy task after a long time.
Since Suhyeon was in a state where even basic common sense of the world of “Specials” wasn’t properly established, Hajin explained every single clause to him alongside a lawyer while drafting the contract.
There was a moment of daze at the enormous salary, bonuses, and consolation pay items that were far beyond the Association contracts he had briefly seen before, and through learning various new things, Suhyeon coordinated the contract with Hajin for a week.
To list the important parts:
…The exclusive Guide shall continuously provide guiding so that the exclusive Esper’s guiding level does not fall below 60%.
The exclusive Guide shall accompany the exclusive Esper on gate missions where the guiding level is likely to become dangerous.
It contained contents such as these.
Upon seeing the contract drafted in this manner, many people were struck with shock. Suhyeon blinked his eyes.
