A small, pained sound escaped Ji Gwanyeong’s lips.

Truth be told, Choi Taehun’s fellatio was far from pleasurable. He couldn’t even manage to move his tongue, simply sucking on the Esper’s member with the same fervor as his personality. It was a movement that rendered the word “oral sex” meaningless.

However, the Esper was aroused to the point of disbelief by the clumsy stimulation. Taehun, his face flushed red, would occasionally cough softly when the hardened member poked his throat. Even so, he tried to find pleasure by clumsily scraping the glans with his tongue.

Choi Taehun was a man who swore he would never be gay. To see him now, sitting between his legs, diligently sucking on his member, was a sight both entertaining and adorable.

“I told you not to open your eyes…”

“It’s too good to miss.”

Right. “A relationship out of necessity,” he had said.

Ji Gwanyeong chuckled softly, overlapping the image of the past Choi Taehun, who had yelled at him with a flushed face, with the current sight of the man, his eyes narrowed, trembling as he sucked on his member with a muffled sound. He ran his hand through the hair buried in his crotch, causing the slightly lowered eyebrows to twitch.

“You said you wouldn’t be gay.”

At the teasing remark, Choi Taehun spat out the Esper’s member and opened his mouth in protest.

“I’m not gay!”

“Then what’s this?”

The Esper’s hand moved from the slightly warm hair down his face, along his jawline. The redness that reached his neck left no room for doubt about his acceptance of the act.

The guide felt a bit embarrassed and ashamed, realizing that he, who had so confidently declared his stance, had lost his aversion to same-sex relationships, or more precisely, “sex with Ji Gwanyeong.”

In truth, Ji Gwanyeong’s somewhat mischievous remark was a way to give Taehun a break from the vigorous sucking, despite his trembling. However, it was packaged in his usual way, making it difficult for the guide to immediately understand.

Ji Gwanyeong could clearly see Choi Taehun’s shrinking thoughts. He finally chuckled wryly and pulled the man kneeling before him to his feet. The guide’s face, transparent like a mirror, opened cautiously.

“…You haven’t… yet?”

“I prefer it in your back than in your mouth.”

“…”

Choi Taehun felt the six years of experience that set Ji Gwanyeong apart from him whenever the Esper spoke so directly. In fact, the guide had never demanded or received oral sex even with the women he had been with.

There was no particular reason. It was simply a rigid thought of his, “I just don’t like it.” The guide was speechless, his face flushed red as he turned his gaze away, contemplating whether to take off his clothes. The thought of “how to open your back by yourself” that he had learned during training flashed through his mind.

However, despite his brazen words, the Esper chose to pull Taehun towards him, burying his head in his neck instead of taking off his clothes.

“Gwanyeong.”

“…Yeah.”

“Do you have time tomorrow?”

A slightly hoarse voice escaped the Esper’s lips. “Yes.”

Choi Taehun felt a surge of heat in his chest as he saw Ji Gwanyeong’s noticeable lethargy. The person who was currently holding him, eyes closed, relaxing, was the Esper who possessed overwhelming power, capable of manipulating even the people in the center, including the Minister.

Choi Taehun went through the flowery words that described his Esper, one by one, then hesitantly raised his hand. His gaze fell on the beautiful, glossy hair.

But that was as far as it went. The guide couldn’t even bring himself to touch his pair. He was worried that the Esper might be offended, as he was known to be quite haughty.

However, this was the most unnecessary worry Choi Taehun had had all day. As the guide’s hand reached above his head, the Esper’s eyes, which had opened slightly, closed slowly again, somewhere between pleasure and satisfaction.

…Wow.

Taehun swallowed dryly, watching the monster completely lose his guard. A man like a ticking time bomb, who could go off at any moment, was rendered helpless at the mere touch of his fingertips. It was a strange feeling that made the back of his neck prickle just by looking at him.

The guide cleared his throat, his voice cracking and trembling, and continued.

“So, how about we go out together tomorrow?”

“Where do you want to go?”

“Just outside, anywhere. The cinema, a restaurant, a cafe. Even just a walk.”

Ji Gwanyeong is a celebrity in this small land, where it’s harder to find someone he doesn’t know. The Esper stared blankly, thinking about how to do things he used to do before his debut.

But Choi Taehun wasn’t finished yet. The guide whispered in a voice only his Esper could hear.

“I’ll be fine tomorrow, I’m sure of it.”

“…”

“So…”

Ji Gwanyeong raised his head, his eyes wide with surprise. He finally understood the true “intention” his guide was trying to convey. The completely unguarded face had a surprisingly innocent feel to it, and Taehun was slightly surprised. He saw an uncharacteristic hesitation in the man’s face as he looked up at him.

Taehun felt both grateful and sorry.

Even though he could have considered the rebound after their relationship a problem he had to deal with and overcome, the Esper chose to endure it himself.

A man who never takes orders from anyone, who wouldn’t dare reprimand him even if he acted recklessly, was acting so devotedly towards him. Choi Taehun smiled slightly, his eyes crinkled, and asked playfully.

“Do you not like doing this with me anymore?”

Finally, a faint smile, like a chuckle, escaped Ji Gwanyeong’s lips. It was because of a question that could never be true.

Taking off his clothes was much easier than he had imagined.

It was a far cry from the first time, when he had prepared for the act with the feeling of being dragged to a slaughterhouse. It made his insides tickle strangely. He even actively helped Ji Gwanyeong take off his thin knit sweater. This was beyond a significant improvement, it was like he had become a different person.

Of course, it was an awkward attempt to take the burden off his Esper. Ji Gwanyeong wasn’t stupid. He could clearly see his guide, trying to pretend to be calm, making an effort to mingle his body with his, and he inwardly clicked his tongue.

So when he carried him to the bedroom and laid him down, he moved slowly, as if handling a delicate doll that could easily break. He even listened to Taehun’s increasingly rapid heartbeat as they kissed, there was no need for further explanation.

But there was something else that stopped Ji Gwanyeong, who had been moving so cautiously, in his tracks.

“…What?”

“Ha, yeah?”

Choi Taehun had never dared to make the first move in the two previous times they’d slept together. The guide was so awkward even with spreading his legs, they usually ended up with Taehun being penetrated from behind.

But now, the inexperienced guide, Choi Taehun, was squeezing out gel with a flushed face, his hand moving towards his own rear. The Esper blinked, momentarily dumbfounded by the unbelievable scene unfolding before his eyes.

A month and a few weeks.

He had definitely spent time with his guide, meeting whenever he could, even though they hadn’t slept together. Not only that, Ji Gwanyeong had always been attentive to his guide, noticing everything from his weight fluctuations to the difference in his complexion on days he slept well versus those he didn’t. He even noticed the cleaner voice and improved lung capacity from Taehun recently quitting smoking.

But this was an action only someone with experience could do!

The sight of him biting his lip, twisting his body, and widening his rear with a slick sound was incredibly sexy, making it hard to believe it was “that Choi Taehun.”

The Esper had no idea what could have happened in the past month to make a man who couldn’t even utter the word “sex” think to prepare himself to receive a man on his own.

“Choi Taehun, what the hell…”

“Ah, ah! Ohh! Center training! Ngh!”

The guide, realizing belatedly what the Esper’s expression meant, flushed red and shouted. But the Esper was even more bewildered. He was even a little angry.

He wanted to grab the triangular sculpture in the middle of the center and throw it at them, asking what kind of mental state those guys had to be in to teach a straight man to move on his own.

Taehun cleverly read the meaning in his expression and quickly added.

“I, I get trained through videos! Alone in a booth!”

“You’re crazy. Choi Taehun, don’t get trained at the center.”

“It’s actually pretty informative! Especially the part explaining the Esper research results, that’s fun.”

Ji Gwanyeong, who had never had this kind of conversation in bed before, sighed softly, watching his guide, who was trying to protect the center despite his red face.

He often forgot that Choi Taehun was “this kind” of person with “this kind” of personality. In fact, if you looked closely, it was hard to understand why Ji Gwanyeong and Choi Taehun shared the same name, they were so different in every way.

It was his fault for keeping his distance from Choi Taehun, blaming his partner for learning bad things somewhere. But on the other hand, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

He always thought he was inflexible and rigid, but he never thought he would be able to prepare himself to open up on his own, just because he had “learned it in training.” Ji Gwanyeong stared at his guide, then picked him up as if he were a stuffed toy, despite the fact that he was a man who was never lacking in height or physique.

“Ouch, why?!”

“What are you trying to do, make me completely rude?”

“Huh?”

Taehun’s head shot up at the sentence, which was almost a monologue. The Esper’s expression was hard to describe.

“Manners? What manners?”

“Sex manners.”

“…Ah, just!”

“I don’t know about other things, but this is something I have to do for you.”

One of the man’s fingers slid smoothly into his rear, which had been awkwardly open, causing the guide’s mouth to snap shut as he tried to speak.

After all, this was a very long time since Choi Taehun had last had sex. The feeling of another’s hand touching his most sensitive area was incomparable to opening himself up, making his hips sway and his toes curl involuntarily. Taehun clutched the soft blanket in his hand and sighed.

The Esper’s fingers began to skillfully loosen his tight rear. It felt like he was back to the first time they slept together. Of course, there was a difference. Instead of awkwardly feeling the fingers probing his rear, he actually seemed to want them to stay, gripping tightly as if he was afraid they would leave, a clear sign that he was anticipating receiving a man.

Choi Taehun trembled slightly as the Esper’s finger brushed against the wall of his entrance, letting out a slightly dissatisfied whine.

“…Ah, please, don’t do that.”

“Where’s that confidence you had about doing it yourself?”

“…”

It was a bit of a teasing remark.

But Choi Taehun knew that the man in front of him was treating him with utmost care. It was evident in the gentle hands that constantly stroked his shoulders and waist, soothing him whenever he tensed up.

The soft lips sometimes falling on his chest, the ticklish sensation of his tongue swirling around his nipple, were enough to naturally relieve the tension in his body. Ji Gwanyeong picked up a soft pillow to support his trembling body only when his guide’s rear could easily accommodate three or four fingers.

Taehun was embarrassed to spread his legs and receive him in a missionary position. Knowing this well, the Esper was about to turn the guide around as usual. But a hand reached out to gently grab his arm. Ji Gwanyeong’s eyes widened in slight surprise.

“…Do you not like it?”

“Of course not.”

It was a different feeling, whether it was holding onto his well-defined back muscles, engraved with his name, as they swayed with sweat, or watching his flushed face, eyes glazed over as he desperately tried to suppress his moans before finally letting out a wild cry with each deep thrust.

Ji Gwanyeong welcomed both.

The Esper kissed him lightly, supporting the guide’s waist with a pillow. Taehun froze for a few seconds, unable to close his eyes, before awkwardly intertwining his tongue with his. A fussy man who was more awkward with kissing than penetration, it was hard to tell if it was good or bad.

Ji Gwanyeong chuckled softly as their lips parted. At that mischievous smile, devoid of any guard, Taehun looked up at the Esper with a flushed face, slightly arching his eyebrow.

“Why?”

“It’s just, I find it quite…”

“…”

“You’re really quite something to look at.”

Taehun unconsciously tilted his head back as the hardened member touched his spread legs. A soft lip touched his neck, slightly damp with sweat, and a small, hot breath escaped the guide’s lips.

“I’ve heard that a thousand times.”

“…Ugh, you’re so annoying.”

“But it’s still pretty nice to hear.”

It was a bit of a sarcastic remark, but Choi Taehun had no time to retort. The guide was too busy trying to suppress the sound that involuntarily escaped his lips as the man slowly pushed into him from behind. The Esper, knowing this well, moved his hips leisurely.

In truth, he was almost as dazed as Choi Taehun, if not more. It was a sensation too intense to be described by the word “pleasure.” He even thought that this was the only thing that could hold the guide back.

This was more like driving him crazy.

The Esper pushed Taehun’s legs as far apart as they could go, then slammed his member in all the way.

“Ah, ah, wait, wait, just, ugh, ah!”

Until now, Ji Gwanyeong had been the type to take the lead in bed, so effortlessly that he could even mention “sex manners” without being awkward. He was a bit rough, but he never relinquished control, and while persistent, he never tormented Taehun.

But now, he was completely different. Taehun genuinely regretted starting to sleep with his Esper face-to-face. Everything was too much. His legs were pushed so far apart that he could barely breathe, and the insane sensation that made his head go blank from deep within his body left him no time to lament it.

“Ugh, ah, yes… ugh…!”

Taehun tried to cover his mouth with his hand, afraid that he would make an embarrassing sound. But the Esper wouldn’t even allow that.

He grabbed the guide’s hands roughly, kissing him passionately, his tongue entwining with his, a sense of urgency in his actions. The rough kiss drew a thin line of blood from the inside of his mouth, but even that only fueled the fire.

The guide’s hand, which had never broken a sweat during any training at the center, the embodiment of strength itself, trembled as he reached out to wrap his arms around the man’s neck, covered in sweat. He never thought that the fact that this man, completely aroused, was clinging to him would be so thrilling.

It wasn’t just the Esper who felt possessive of his. Choi Taehun’s lips fell onto the Esper’s ear and neck, a bit urgently. He bit the strong body with slightly bared teeth, and sucked lightly, leaving marks.

“…Damn…”

Choi Taehun was probably not even aware of what he was doing at this point. The Esper knew this in his head. He was acutely aware that he shouldn’t go any further, just as he had been holding back for the past month.

But now, as he realized how good it felt to be touched first by his guide, a feeling that made his insides ache, the recent vows he had made to himself, like a compulsion, were crumbling.

“…Gwanyeong, ssi.”

There was no other way, with that hot, breathy, low voice, calling his name in a pleading tone.

He’s completely playing me for a fool.

Ji Gwanyeong leaned slightly into Choi Taehun, pushing his member deeper inside, tilting his head so that the guide could wrap his arms around him more easily.
