Harmonious Love

First Kiss (2)

Tae Young-won tended to enjoy this kind of vexation that suddenly arose in Mo Yeon. Initially, it was because of this fun that he kept Mo Yeon around, even though he was a man with the same equipment, even though he was a strange kid. Even when he impulsively decided to ask Mo Yeon out first, it was because Mo Yeon had provoked him and then tried to back out.

However, somehow, this time he felt different than usual about Mo Yeon’s actions towards him.

“Mo Yeon.”

Tae Young-won stared blankly at the expressionless face. It might seem out of the blue, but suddenly he was curious.

“Have you ever told me that it felt good when you kissed me?”

“…”

It was quite an impulsive thing to say now, several days later, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t say. After all, they were in a relationship.

“Ah, come to think of it, I guess I knew without you saying it.”

There was a flicker of emotion in Mo Yeon’s eyes. Mo Yeon probably remembered that moment when he heard Tae Young-won’s words.

“You were sucking so hard just because I slipped my tongue in a little, you almost came right away.”

“What are you trying to say?”

A sharp voice came back immediately.

“Don’t you want to do it again?”

“Why should I?”

“If we do it again, I think you might be able to finish your presentation really well.”

Speaking in a nonchalant voice, Tae Young-won rested his chin on his hand and looked at Mo Yeon.

Seeing this, Mo Yeon blinked for a moment and thought carefully about Tae Young-won’s words while swallowing. There was something about his earlier statement that didn’t make sense.

“…But I’m the one giving the presentation?”

Puzzled, Mo Yeon briefly recalled the kiss from a few days ago in his mind.

The first kiss wasn’t bad, it was actually much better than expected… but that didn’t mean it would give him strength to easily finish the presentation. Considering the secondary effects, it was even less likely.

“Um… I don’t think it will give me much strength.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry, but I’ll have to decline.”

“Huh.”

See? Tae Young-won burst into laughter. Honestly, it wasn’t unexpected. Rather, he had been expecting this kind of reaction.

“Look at this, are you trying to back out again after seducing me first? Do you know that’s a really bad habit?”

“…When did I ever?”

“If you’re doing this without realizing, that’s an even bigger problem.”

The problem is very serious.

He briefly rubbed his forehead, feeling dizzy. Lately, he had been wondering if he was getting too involved with this youngster who seemed born to seduce men.

Even though he clearly thought he had set the trap first, he occasionally felt this way. And the most troubling point for Tae Young-won was that he was quite enjoying this situation himself. He thought that might be the biggest problem in this whole situation.

“What’s the problem?”

“Mo Yeon.”

“…”

Nevertheless, Tae Young-won felt like he absolutely had to get a kiss from Mo Yeon today. He didn’t want to think too deeply about anything else. He spoke in a low voice with a seriously fabricated expression.

“Usually, when lovers kiss, it gives them both strength. That’s why people do it all the time. Don’t you know that’s what everyone else does?”

“…”

Everyone else does that?

Mo Yeon’s eyes, which had been on guard, suddenly widened. It was a very subtle change, but it was enough for Tae Young-won, who was right in front of him, to notice.

For a moment, Mo Yeon looked away from Tae Young-won and lowered his eyes.

Mo Yeon was often inexperienced with actions that ordinary people commonly do. While everyone else considered Mo Yeon strange and peculiar, Mo Yeon himself was most aware of how he stood out. Because of this, he couldn’t help but be intrigued by such words.

“Other people do that?”

“Yeah, I think so.”

Is kissing so common for other people?

“…How often?”

“Well, the more often the better, I guess.”

Tae Young-won spoke in a very dry voice, as if reciting simple information. Mo Yeon’s contemplation deepened.

Well, it did seem likely, especially between lovers. Of course, in their case, it was more like Mo Yeon had stalked and clung to Tae Young-won until he agreed to date…

While his thoughts deepened further, Tae Young-won reached out his hand. As he stroked Mo Yeon’s hair with a familiar touch, Mo Yeon blinked and thought busily.

Meanwhile, Tae Young-won, after stroking his hair for a while, subtly caressed Mo Yeon’s earlobe. Without Mo Yeon noticing, he licked his upper lip as if waiting for a reward. Tae Young-won didn’t like other kinds of waiting, but he enjoyed this kind of anticipation.

However, the eyes that finally finished thinking turned very sharp, contrary to Tae Young-won’s expectations. He raised one eyebrow.

“Why are you like this again?”

At that naive question, Mo Yeon snorted coldly. What, they both get strength?

“Come to think of it, what strength? I seem to be the only one here remembering what happened the next day. Making my voice completely gone…”

As soon as he muttered without thinking, he regretted it. Sure enough, Tae Young-won’s lips, which Mo Yeon glanced at, were curved in a smile. Mo Yeon realized that his careless words had only made Tae Young-won more smug, so he shut his mouth. As Mo Yeon looked off into the distance, Tae Young-won spoke like a child.

“But really, just do it one more time. It’s been a few days, so I don’t remember the feeling very well.”

“…”

“Hm? Come on, hurry up.”

With that, Tae Young-won shamelessly thrust his face towards Mo Yeon. Even closing his eyes, how could he be so brazen?

Mo Yeon hesitated in front of him with his eyes closed.

Isn’t this too much like ‘real lovers’, like a tingling relationship where they really like each other…

To be honest, even though they were dating, Mo Yeon didn’t think their relationship was really like that. It was a relationship that would end without any lingering feelings once Tae Young-won’s interest in his body faded. They weren’t even close sunbae and hoobae before this happened.

If they went back, they would go back to being perfect strangers. Shouldn’t that be something to distinguish?

“You keep teasing me about kissing you first, how can I do it again?”

“Teasing? Who?”

Tae Young-won’s eyes immediately opened wide. As if he were truly an innocent person, Tae Young-won stared at Mo Yeon with wide eyes, as if he were a pure person who didn’t even know how to tease others.

“How is this teasing? I’m just being cute to my boyfriend because I want a kiss.”

“How is this being cute? And I got caught up in the moment without realizing, how can I do it again if you keep teasing me? That time was really a mistake.”

“A mistake?”

“Yes.”

“Mo Yeon, you stalk people when you like them, but kissing during sex is a mistake. It’s too hard to keep up with you to just let it slide because you’re cute.”

It seemed like this time, Tae Young-won genuinely wanted a kiss.

It seemed that day’s event had left a much stronger memory than Mo Yeon thought. Actually, he had felt like Tae Young-won had been looking at his lips often for the past few days. It was the first time he had verbally expressed that it felt good, like just now… But Mo Yeon consistently pretended not to notice every time, somehow feeling strange about just doing it once and being done with it.

However, having suffered quite a bit, there was no way he would fall for Tae Young-won’s perfect acting again from the perspective of someone who had been through it. Moreover, Mo Yeon had already paid a hefty price for initiating a kiss once before.

“Do you know what kind of state I’ll be in if I do that?”

Tae Young-won shrugged as if to say, what’s the problem with that?

“Well… don’t you know there’s chicken breast piled up in my fridge right now?”

“…!”

Mo Yeon looked at him with surprised eyes. Tae Young-won sighed as if he had just realized something.

“Ah, I should have grilled meat instead of sausages. Mo Yeon might cry again saying he’s lacking protein.”

“Shut up, will you!”

“Want to check again now? See if you’re still lacking protein.”

“…”

Just as Mo Yeon was about to kiss him forcefully to shut that constantly nagging mouth, he decided to just get up from the table and pass by him. Tae Young-won grabbed Mo Yeon’s wrist.

“Where are you going? To the bathroom?”

“What does it matter to you where I go, sunbae?”

When Mo Yeon replied gruffly, Tae Young-won burst out laughing as if to say, why are you asking such an obvious thing?

“Well… of course I was planning to follow you if you went to the bathroom. Why do you think I’m asking?”

“Aah!”

Mo Yeon shook off his hand and hurriedly moved away. He could hear laughter from behind, but Mo Yeon couldn’t laugh at all.

This was all because of his teasing words. The moment his gaze had turned to Tae Young-won’s lips earlier, all the memories of that night vividly came back to Mo Yeon’s mind.
