Chapter 38: 18+
The solid body closing in gradually brought with it an undeniable pressure. Even after doing something no different from sex at the hotel, even after kissing, Mu-gyeong had forgiven a portion of his debt. Was he planning to do the same now, even while brushing over him with these subtle touches and hungry eyes? It felt necessary—vital—to know whether these actions held any feeling beyond just money.
"Are you planning to knock off more debt after this too?"
His voice trembled terribly from his uneven breathing, but the question itself was bold.
"Haha."
Each time Mu-gyeong chuckled, his breath brushed over him. That faint exhale, hanging at the tail end of his laughter, settled against Hongju’s nape.
"This is why you can’t even drink cold water around kids."
It wasn’t exactly a flattering comment, but Mu-gyeong chuckled without pause. Then he turned Hongju’s cheek toward him with the hand he’d been holding. Hongju had no choice but to lie facing him directly.
"......."
A massive, dark silhouette completely loomed over him. Hongju swallowed hard.
"Yeah. I’ll knock some off."
Mu-gyeong tightened the hand cupping Hongju’s dry cheek. He could feel the coarse texture of gauze under his palm, sticking like it was melting into his skin. As the pressure increased, the scabbed-over lips beneath it parted slowly. Mu-gyeong pushed his sharp gaze into that sticky, hot, bright red mouth.
"How much should I take off?"
