Cozy Obsession

“Oh, what is it? You’re making me curious. Just tell me, quickly.”“Just go to sleep.”I could feel his body relaxing and his breathing calming against my skin, as if he really was trying to fall asleep. For someone with insomnia, it seemed like he might fall asleep before me.“Hyung. Yiheon hyung.”Feeling a sudden sense of urgency, I called out to him. His low, deep voice responded right next to me, indicating he wasn’t asleep.“What?”“Is it something that can’t be done during the day? Do you have to go out at dawn?”“Yes.”“Can’t we just stay here tomorrow and go the day after?”“No. It’s something I promised in advance.”“What is it? Tell me what you’re going to do.”When I kept pestering him by holding onto his arm, he pulled me closer and whispered softly.“Fishing at sea while watching the sunrise from a yacht.”The unexpected words made me drop his arm. I remembered how Yiheon stayed up all night talking with the kid in the tent, missing the sunrise, and then crashing out.Yiheon had promised the kid that they’d go camping by the sea to watch the sunrise again when the weather got warmer, and now he was going to keep that promise with ‘Cha Yiheon.’But…I felt resentful toward him for stirring me up so much only to calmly close his eyes. Even though it wasn’t a heartfelt confession of love, I had told him I liked him, and it was really too much.I was the only one whose emotions were shaken to a dangerous level. Grumbling in a dissatisfied tone, I muttered softly.“…You said you’d suck me dry.”“What?”“I was looking forward to it…”I remembered something I read in a book before. It said that to make someone react, you have to seduce them indirectly with subtle hints rather than confronting them head-on.But what’s the point of giving hints or seducing indirectly if the other person doesn’t react at all?I couldn’t stand the unfairness. Feeling deeply sulky, I pushed his hand off my shoulder, turned around, and pulled the blanket over my head.“I held back for your sake, but you don’t even understand how I feel…”As soon as I heard his low voice, the blanket was quickly pulled down.“What are you doing? I thought you were going to sleep!”“How can I sleep when you’re provoking me?”“I’m done now, okay?”I stubbornly held onto the blanket, trying to resist, but he turned the light back on by the bedside. The sudden bright light made my vision go white, and I stopped moving, looking at him.His eyes had darkened dangerously, like a bottomless abyss. With both arms trapping me under the light, his face looked like that of a saint who had finally succumbed to desire. Or maybe it was the face of someone who had chosen the path of corruption without hesitation.“You always test the limits of my patience. So sly.”I didn’t even have a chance to retort that he was the sly one. Raw, unfiltered alpha pheromones poured out, intense and rough. It was a scent that weighed heavily on my entire body and violently shook my heart.But it didn’t feel like a noose tightening around my neck like before. My breath was caught, but it wasn’t enough to make me lose my senses.It was because of the immense trust I had developed, knowing that he wouldn’t hurt me and wouldn’t remind me of the painful memories of ‘Seo Heemin.’“You won’t be able to sleep until dawn.”He grabbed my chin, preventing me from moving. My heart pounded as fear and anticipation mixed together. I opened my trembling lips to meet his approaching ones.“Ugh…”His tongue pushed into my mouth, roughly exploring every corner. The thick, rich pheromones flowed into my throat. Even though my eyes were closed, my vision flickered as if submerged in a haze.Although I had been the first to express my desire, he was the one who quickly swelled with arousal and pressed his lower body against mine. Through the parted robe, his hardness jabbed into my soft skin.Every time the robe’s belt rubbed against my inner thigh, I wanted to undo the knot, but I was too overwhelmed, accepting his excited, thrusting tongue.Each time our lips moved and the angle shifted, our breaths tangled and scattered into the air. Our irregular breathing mixed in a dizzying rhythm.“Ha…”Yiheon slowed down, moving his tongue as if to calm his excitement, while his fingers teased my earlobe. A low chuckle slipped through our joined lips. The inside of my chest itched so badly, I wanted to scratch it.When I let out a shallow moan, he finally released my tongue, sliding his saliva-wet lips over my flushed cheek. His other hand quickly undid the knots of both our robes.He kissed my eyelids, forehead, nose, and the space between my eyebrows, then ran his hand along the exposed curve of my waist, nibbling on the earlobe he had just been playing with.“…Ah!”The sharp sting of being bitten made me shiver. Heat pooled in my lower belly as if it had been scorched. With just a little stimulation, my half-erect member stood fully upright, and Yiheon, breathing heavily, whispered in my ear.“You. You’re quite lustful, aren’t you? You’re already soaking wet down there.”Somehow, my inner thighs and buttocks were wet with the slick fluid that had leaked out. It wasn’t as much as during a heat, but I was fully ready to accept the alpha’s member.“So, ugh, you don’t like it?”“No. I like it. It feels better when you want me, rather than doing it by force.”Yiheon’s lips curved into a smooth arc. He seemed extremely pleased that I was reacting to him even without being in heat.He propped me up against the headboard, folded my knees, and spread them wide. His gaze lingered on the exposed area, making my neck flush with heat.“I’ll suck you off.”He bowed his head and immediately took the shaft into his mouth. His soft tongue and the moist inner walls wrapped around the hot length, sliding down smoothly. Heemin’s shoulders heaved noticeably.“Don’t close your legs. Spread them properly.”Yiheon spoke, his lips still wrapped around the tip. As if wanting Heemin to fully appreciate the sight, he held his legs open and slowly licked the precum off the glans, like he was savoring the sauce on a sausage.“Ugh…”The sensation was different from when Yiheon entered him, as if all the blood in his body was rushing to one spot, stimulating his peripheral nerves.The stimulation was too intense. The contrasting sight of his shaft being sucked into Yiheon’s mouth and the delicate flutter of his eyelashes was imprinted on his retina.Listening to the lewd, wet sounds made by Yiheon’s mouth in his right mind made Heemin’s face burn with embarrassment. He bit his lower lip, trying to suppress the moans threatening to escape, but his breath, which felt like it was going to burst, leaked out between his teeth.“Ugh, haah… ugh.”The glans, which had been rubbing against the ridges of Yiheon’s palate, slipped deep into his throat. Despite the pressure on his uvula, Yiheon repeatedly swallowed the shaft to its root and then released it, picking up speed.Yiheon pulled the shaft out to the brink, took a deep breath, and with his neck and jaw tensed, quickly swallowed it back down. The intense suction made Heemin’s breathing grow louder and more desperate.“Ugh, haah, haah.”Each time the narrow, warm space gently squeezed his glans, Heemin’s splayed legs trembled. Despite being the one receiving the oral pleasure, the overwhelming stimulation made tears well up in his eyes.“Stop… stop…”“You can’t back out now after getting me all worked up.”Yiheon firmly scolded him and resumed the act, adjusting his angle slightly as if to leave no part of Heemin untouched. His expression was calm, as though savoring a flavor far more delicious than when he was eating a sausage.It seemed that Yiheon was genuinely enjoying the act. He looked like he could keep going for minutes, even hours, unless Heemin gave in first. Heemin gripped Yiheon’s shoulders tightly, swallowing down a sob-filled moan.“Come out… Come out now.”He begged, clinging to him as the urge to release built up. He felt like he might lose control and come in Yiheon’s mouth.“No, no, ugh!”Unable to hold back, Heemin mustered all his strength and tried to push Yiheon away. He slapped his shoulders and tugged at his hair, but Yiheon didn’t budge, only taking Heemin’s length even deeper.“Ah, ugh, haah!”Heemin couldn’t suppress the boiling heat any longer. Finally, as the wave of pleasure crashed over him, Heemin trembled slightly, releasing hot fluid outside his body.It didn’t take long for him to climax, as they had been intimate continuously for the past four days. However, the problem was that he had released it entirely in Yiheon’s mouth. As soon as the aftershocks of the orgasm subsided and Yiheon pulled away, Heemin, looking pale, spoke.“Spit it out. Quickly.”Now that his heat had ended, the pheromones must have become much fainter. The residual fluid on his glans smelled like under-ripe fruit.But Yiheon ignored Heemin’s words, and his throat bobbed as he swallowed the contents in his mouth. He didn’t seem displeased at all—in fact, the fact that Heemin had unraveled because of him seemed to satisfy him deeply, as he narrowed his eyes and smiled.“I want… to do it too.”Heemin wanted to torment Yiheon in the same way. Even if his lips stung and his jaw ached, he wanted to take control. He didn’t want to lose.“If you don’t want your lips to split, stop. It’s too big for your mouth.”“But…”“Just turn around.”Yiheon wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and sat up, turning Heemin’s body over. Since Yiheon preferred to be face-to-face when inserting, Heemin tilted his head in confusion before laying flat on his stomach on the bed.“Lift your knees.”Yiheon pulled Heemin’s waist upwards. The exhaustion from the afterglow of his climax made his body easily rise, like a marionette.“What… What are you doing?”In no time, Heemin found himself with his face buried in the pillow and his hips raised in a humiliating position. The shame of having his most private parts fully exposed caused a surge of embarrassment.He craned his neck to see what Yiheon was doing. Yiheon’s expression was intensely serious as he spread Heemin’s buttocks apart to peer into his hole, making Heemin even more flustered.“It’s all swollen.”Yiheon continued speaking as he gently stroked the folds wet with slick.“If I put it in like this, you won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”It was at that moment, just as Heemin was mustering strength in his arms to lift his upper body, that something small and soft slipped inside his hole.“Haah!”The sensation of the soft, pointed object rubbing against his tender inner walls made Heemin’s vision go white, and a sharp cry escaped his lips.Incredibly, what entered him wasn’t a long, rough finger or an erect, heated shaft. It was something softer, more pliant, and wriggling like a living creature. It was Yiheon’s tongue.…How could he, how could he use his mouth there?Heemin’s hands, gripping the robe’s sleeves, trembled with shock and disbelief. No matter how different his body was from a regular man’s, or even from an alpha or a beta, this act felt overwhelmingly intrusive. It was on a completely different level from licking his shaft.“Stop, don’t… I don’t like… ugh, ah!”He tried to pull his hips back, attempting to escape the persistent intrusion of Yiheon’s tongue, but it was futile. The entrance, slick with slick fluid, offered no resistance as Yiheon’s tongue was sucked inside.Each time Yiheon buried his face deeply and extended his tongue, the electric sensation shot up Heemin’s spine, causing his head to jerk back from the pillow.“Stop… ah, ugh, stop…!”Yiheon’s sharp nose pressed painfully against Heemin’s tailbone. He twisted his waist, desperately trying to escape, but the grip on his buttocks only tightened.In the early hours just before dawn, when both starlight and moonlight had disappeared, Heemin drowsed off on the gently rocking waves, waiting for the sun to rise. Although there was no penetration, unlike the previous day, so his lower body, especially the area below his waist, didn’t feel like it had been crushed. However, having hardly slept, his eyelids naturally drooped as if a cover was being pulled over them.“Wake up. Are you really going to miss the sunrise after coming all the way here?”Yiheon pulled down Heemin’s windbreaker hood, which he had wrapped tightly around himself. The sea breeze brushing against his cheeks was cooler than expected, so Heemin had borrowed Yiheon’s clothes. Since the size was a bit large, even a slight tug made the hood slip off.Who’s the one making me so sleepy?However, acknowledging that he was partly to blame, Heemin merely pouted and lifted his head without resisting. He didn’t want to miss the sunrise as Yiheon had mentioned.The vibrant energy of the emerging light painted the sky and sea a deep crimson. Feeling oddly tense, Heemin grasped Yiheon’s hand and waited for the sun to rise.Before long, a blazing orb of fire majestically broke through the horizon. Yiheon, gazing at the distant sky, quietly spoke.“I really wanted to show you this.”“…It’s beautiful. So much.”It felt different from watching the sunset. It was a scene that evoked the image of life being born. The fan-like rays spread wide, illuminating every corner and even seeping into his mind. It was a radiant light that dispelled the gloom and fear of the previous day.If only ‘Seo Heemin,’ who was grieving over a miscarriage, could have seen this view.“Seo Heemin.”He called out to Heemin, who hadn’t been able to tear his eyes away from the morning sun. There seemed to be something on his mind.“What is it?”Tilting his head slightly, Heemin met Yiheon’s gaze. The sunlight reflected in his slightly lowered eyes, casting a mysterious hue. Captivated by this sight, which was more beautiful than the rising sun or the shimmering golden waves, Heemin quickly stopped him before he could speak.“Just stay like that for a moment. I want to take a picture.”The wind tousled his hair, and the countless strands of sunlight gently illuminated his body. Somehow, Heemin felt he could understand the feelings of his friend, who used to constantly take pictures. Perhaps that friend had also discovered something in him, something that captivated his heart so strongly that he wanted to capture the moment forever.Of course, to Yiheon, Heemin might be nothing more than a source of artistic inspiration, no more, no less. His friend always had an overwhelming pride in his photography. Unlike Heemin, who took pictures in preparation for the day they would part, his friend probably held the camera for a slightly different reason.Still, the desire to capture the person in front of him in the frame was the same. Heemin took several shots of Yiheon, who stood with the sea behind him, pressing the shutter repeatedly.Now that Yiheon seemed less uncomfortable with being photographed, the expression that used to stiffen whenever a camera was pointed at him had softened considerably. As a result, several good pictures were taken. Heemin wanted to choose the best one among them and definitely paint it as a drawing.“What were you going to say earlier?”As he checked the photos in the album one by one, he finally asked what Yiheon had intended to say.“….”But there was no reply. When he lifted his head, he saw Yiheon looking at him with a slightly defeated expression.“Why do you like me?”Heemin froze at the unexpected question. It seemed like Yiheon was asking on a whim, rather than what he originally wanted to say.So, he still doesn’t believe my confession?His eyes, which were as smooth and glossy as ever, reflected more of a probing light than pure curiosity.Well, from his perspective, after being threatened and kept from leaving the house, always placed under his control, and with an age difference of nine years and no decent job, it’s no wonder that my confession seems unbelievable.Looking into those cold eyes that occasionally showed no emotion, Heemin was reminded again that the project was still incomplete. Yiheon hadn’t given him an answer to his confession. With that in mind, Heemin slowly opened his mouth.“Because I have fun when I’m with you.”So much fun that I don’t want to return to my original world, that I can barely remember my family’s faces.How could there be a clearer sign of his feelings than wanting to stay here and live, disguised as another personality of ‘Seo Heemin’?“You’ve only ever seen me as a friend, haven’t you? Or just as someone to play with?”But Yiheon’s response was cynical.“I like you even when you’re not around.”He was someone whose presence was more keenly felt in his absence.Whenever Yiheon was gone, Heemin felt like he was trapped alone in a thick fog, waiting only for the moment they would reunite.Heemin put his phone in his pocket and approached Yiheon. Fixing his gaze on Yiheon, who still refused to meet his eyes, Heemin spoke in a serious tone, following his stubbornly averted gaze.“I want to make you happy. I’ll do anything for you. I’ll protect you, no matter what.”Yesterday, he had been consumed by a baseless fear, trembling in fear. But after witnessing the glorious sunrise, a new resolve had welled up within him.Time inevitably moves on, and the end will come. He wanted to eliminate all dangers to lessen the burden of unhappiness on Yiheon’s shoulders, so that when the time comes to part, he can do so without regrets and return home.“…Even after returning, your wish remains unchanged. I guess fate really can’t be altered.”Yiheon’s voice sounded as if he was speaking to himself. A touch of self-mockery crossed his lips as he smiled bitterly.“Fate?”Was he talking about the movie they watched yesterday? Not understanding the meaning, Heemin tilted his head and asked again. Ever since he had gone home to get his clothes, he had been acting like a different person, speaking in cryptic words.“A fate that prevents me from getting what I want.”Yiheon’s voice was low as he spoke, his eyes fixed on Heemin’s. But the wind carried his words away, making them sound like a whisper, so Heemin couldn’t make them out clearly.“What did you just say? I couldn’t hear anything because of the wind.”Heemin moved closer to him, looking up with wide eyes as he asked him to repeat what he had said. In response, Yiheon reached out, pinched one of Heemin’s cheeks with his thumb and forefinger, and unexpectedly pulled it hard.“If you’re really thinking of doing anything for me, then stop causing trouble and just stay still. I’ll handle everything.”“Ouch, that hurts!”“You need to learn a little lesson. You keep stirring up emotions without batting an eye. It’s getting worse every day, isn’t it?”Yiheon’s hands were large and firm, so even though he only pulled slightly, it hurt enough to make Heemin tear up a bit. He punched Yiheon’s chest in protest, but Yiheon just smirked, finding it amusing.“If you really like me, then show it. Be more desperate for me—not just in bed.”He seemed to be regaining his composure, his eyes, which had been clouded with anxiety and worry, now narrowing into a smile that hung at the corners.“What are you even talking about? Just let go already. Ouch!”Annoyed by Yiheon’s arrogant words, especially since he hadn’t even answered Heemin’s confession, Heemin replied bluntly. When he pushed Yiheon’s chest one more time, Yiheon finally let go of his cheek.“You’re acting like a child.”“You’re the one who started acting like a child.”Heemin pouted, rubbing his sore cheek. It felt unfair that Yiheon, who was shining so brightly with the crimson sunlight, looked even more dazzling today. It was like he had a filter in his eyes that made Yiheon sparkle.“I guess I really do like this man.”He had a terrible personality, was arrogant, and dangerously unpredictable, but he was also kind and gentle in a way that Heemin just couldn’t hate.As he realized his feelings more clearly, Heemin reached behind him and pulled his hood back up. The reddish morning sun felt like it was burning his cheeks, and he didn’t want Yiheon to see his face at that moment.“Huh?”As he looked away, he noticed something strange. The fishing line on the rods that had been cast was trembling slightly.“Hey, look at that. The fishing line is moving. Do you think we caught something?”He stood up and moved toward the fishing rods. The float, which hadn’t moved at all since they cast the line, was now surprisingly pulling in the opposite direction of the waves. It was a bite.“Grab it quickly!”As Heemin stood there in a panic, Yiheon shouted at him. Snapping out of it, Heemin quickly grabbed the fishing rod. The moment he did, he felt a heavy weight and an indescribable dynamic force pulling at his fingertips.“I think I’m going to lose it!”The float plunged below the surface of the water, and the fishing rod bent so much that it looked like it might break. The fish’s thrashing was transmitted directly through the rod.“I’ll help you. Reel it in, but don’t let your guard down.”Yiheon, supporting him from behind, grabbed the fishing rod firmly. As Heemin frantically turned the reel, the line that seemed like it might snap finally started to come in. A shiver of excitement spread from his head to his toes. This must be what they call “feeling the catch.”“I got it!”Heemin, more focused than ever, managed to pull the fish up onto the yacht. A large red seabream with vivid crimson scales appeared before them.“Huh? There’s a small octopus stuck to it too?”As he caught his breath, still excited and tense, Heemin noticed a small octopus clinging to the seabream’s belly. It hadn’t gotten hooked, so it could have let go and escaped the moment it was pulled out of the water, but it clung stubbornly, as if determined to protect the seabream.“They’re just like you and me,” Heemin said.“The little one does look just like you.”“Hey, I’m the seabream, and you’re the octopus.”Heemin chuckled as he carefully removed the hook from the seabream’s mouth. Fortunately, the fish was unharmed.“Should we let it go? It seems kind of pitiful.”“Are you serious? That one’s too big to just throw back. It’s worth a lot.”“We can catch another one later.”Before Yiheon could stop him, Heemin quickly tossed the seabream back into the sea. The fish, as if to say thank you, leaped into the air before diving back into the depths with the octopus.“Seriously? I was about to make sashimi.”Yiheon looked at Heemin with an incredulous expression, as if to say, “What are you doing after catching it?” Then he let out a laugh.“Wow, you know how to make sashimi? Well, I guess you’re good with knives because of your job.”“I learned because someone likes fishing.”Fishing? Who?It probably wasn’t “Seo Heemin,” who had no other hobbies besides drawing.It was likely that the “someone who likes fishing” Yiheon mentioned was Chairman Yoon. He had built a resort with a hotel, casino, and golf course in a place that wasn’t even part of his management area, purely for his own hobbies.Was it called the “Black Tiger”…?As he watched Yiheon expertly bait the hook with a sandworm, Heemin thought about the name of the massive, luxurious two-story yacht they had seen at the pier. Yiheon’s expression showed a determination to catch and prepare fish for sashimi this time.The sun, which had been spewing orange flames while skimming the surface of the sea, had now risen above the horizon and was shining more brilliantly than ever.Heemin leaned back against the deck railing, taking in the vividly red sky, the golden sunlight on the sea, and the man he had come to care for so deeply.He wanted to etch this scene into his memory so that even after returning to reality, he could recall it at any time.The fishing line drew a long arc through the air before settling on the calm surface of the water. A salty breeze gently wrapped around him.They caught two plump rockfish and enjoyed a luxurious breakfast. For lunch, they used the ingredients prepared by the caretaker to cook a spicy fish stew. Afterward, they took a long nap in the cabin’s bedroom and woke up to the sight of the endless sea until they grew tired of it.
