IPDT 20

“Yul, what are you doing?”

I got up from the rug and approached the bed where Yul was sitting. The closer I got, the more Yul curled up his body, as if desperately trying to hide something. What on earth could he be hiding to act so urgently? I stood behind Yul and peeked.

After tilting my head left and right a few times, I caught sight of what Yul was trying to hide in my blind spot.

Oh, this is…

“Don’t look!”

Yul, who noticed that I had seen, let out a growl. Glaring at me with fiercely raised eyes, he clenched his fists so hard that his veins stood out. Emotions like shame and anxiety ran wild in his black eyes. Yul looked as unstable as a sandcastle about to collapse.

“Um… Yul, if you want to be alone, I can leave.”

It seemed that Yul was probably masturbating. But I would say the method was wrong… Yul was handling his erect penis so roughly, as if he were trying to break it.

Indeed, it was closer to ‘self-harm’ than masturbation. It would surely hurt to do it like that. I lowered myself and sat down in front of Yul.

“But you know, I can help you. It’s not that I’m going to do anything to you… It’s just that…”

Yul’s eyes lost focus and trembled. His pale lips parted slightly. Some mumbling came out, but it seemed to be his native language. Even when I strained to listen, I couldn’t understand it. Instead of answering Yul’s muttering, I tried to prove that I was harmless.

“You’re treating that… so roughly… That hurts, you know.”

After several minutes of just looking up at Yul with a pleading gaze, Yul relaxed his tense body. I watched him cautiously and spoke in a small voice.

“Can I get on your bed?”

Yul didn’t answer and just looked at me. His black eyes were dark and sunken. But it wasn’t a look of rejection. I carefully placed my knees on Yul’s bed and sat down. Yul just watched what I was doing, like a person completely drained of energy.

“Yul, you’re in a cold sweat. Can I wipe it for you?”

This time, too, he was silent before nodding his head. I pulled up my sleeve and wiped Yul’s forehead. Swipe, swipe. Yul quietly watched what I was doing and then closed his eyes. Being like this suddenly reminded me of when I first met Yul. It felt like I had gone back to that time.

After wiping away the cold sweat, I glanced down. Even though time had passed, Yul’s penis was still standing erect. It felt strange. It was as if something I thought was just a child had grown up considerably and was now at eye level with me. It seemed even more so because Yul’s penis was big and long.

…Hmm. To think I’d ever have to touch a human penis. I hadn’t expected it, but the human in front of me was none other than Yul.

Besides, I didn’t like how Yul was treating ‘it’ so roughly. Yul’s body was his, but it was mine first and foremost, so I couldn’t tolerate him breaking it as he pleased.

“Can I touch it?”

I slowly extended my hand and stopped it in front of Yul’s penis. Yul lifted his eyelids to check me once, then closed his eyes again. Then, he rested his forehead against my shoulder with a thud. …This means he’s allowing it, right? I wrapped one hand around Yul’s hard penis. It was hot.

“Hut.”

I had only just gripped it, but Yul let out a faint moan. I got goosebumps. Was it because Yul was leaning on my shoulder? The moan seemed to echo right in my ear. My lips felt dry for no reason, and I wet them with my tongue.

Yul’s penis was a bit difficult to handle, as its circumference was more than I could grasp with one hand. It seemed I would have to use both hands, so I reached out my other hand and gripped it as well. As I stroked the veiny shaft up and down, Yul exhaled a ragged breath. The hot breath touched my shoulder and dispersed.

“Haa, uht.”

Yul’s rough hand gripped my thigh. I trembled at the unexpected contact, then moved my hands up and down again. When I rubbed the head, Yul let out a growling moan. His low voice made it sound even more so. I swallowed my dry saliva. My brow furrowed slightly.

“…”

Ah, this is a problem. Because we were connected, the excitement Yul felt was transmitted to me as well. Yul’s hotly pulsating penis felt as vivid as if it were my own. It became a little overwhelming, and I bit my lip and paused my hand for a moment.

At that moment, Yul placed his hand over mine. Then, he began to rapidly stroke his penis up and down. The hot, veiny skin felt like it would burn my palm. The heat that had seized Yul’s body was transmitted to me.

“Uht.”

I let out a small moan without realizing it. Yul’s hand, which was clutching my thigh, tightened even more. Slap, slap! Just when I thought the sound of the friction couldn’t get any rougher, semen shot out from the tip of Yul’s penis. Splat, splat. The milky-white semen splattered even onto my body.

“…”

“…”

Yul, who was breathing heavily, trembled slightly at his fingertips. A faint sense of shame was transmitted to me. I swallowed hard. Gulp. It was because I had become tense for no reason. After holding my breath for a moment, I spoke so as not to embarrass Yul.

“Yul, I don’t mind at all. This is something everyone does while growing up.”

There was no answer from Yul. Is he still embarrassed? I carefully placed my hand on Yul’s cheek and swept his limp hair up. Yul’s pale face was gradually revealed.

“Oh.”

Yul was asleep. I blinked blankly and then burst out laughing.

“Sleep well, Yul.”

I pressed my lips to Yul’s cheek and laid him down on the bed. Then I used a cleaning spell to get rid of the semen Yul had ejaculated. Although, now that I’d gotten rid of it, I felt a little regretful.

I looked down at my hand regretfully and then lay down on the rug again. Let’s sleep. Yul is sleeping, so I should sleep too.

But sleep just wouldn’t come. I squeezed my eyes shut and thought of Fleabag. One Fleabag, two Fleabags…

“Ah!”

I shot up from my spot. A way to soothe my regretful heart had occurred to me. Wouldn’t it fade a little if I shared this amazing news with Fleabag? Don’t they say that joy shared is joy doubled? I quickly connected my mind with Fleabag.

「Fleabag!」

「Master?」

Hearing Fleabag’s voice after a long time made the corners of my mouth creep up into a grin. How would Fleabag react if I told him the news that Yul seemed to have become an ‘adult’? He would surely be so surprised that his tail would puff up. Poof. Ah, it was just a shame that I couldn’t see it happen before my very eyes.

「Fleabag, listen. Something really, really huge happened.」

「Yes? If it’s something huge, have the humans come to find you!」

Fleabag asked in an urgent voice. I frowned and tilted my head. Why would humans suddenly come looking for me?

「No, it’s not that. I’m saying Yul has become an adult!」

「…Isn’t that human already an adult?」

Fleabag answered dubiously. …If he were in front of me, I would have definitely turned him into a mouse. I considered abruptly cutting the connection and going to the lair, but I decided to endure it for Yul’s sake. It wouldn’t be right if I weren’t there on the day Yul became an adult. He might be sad if he woke up while I was gone to the lair.

「Never mind, never mind. But what do you mean, did humans come to find me?」

「Master, do you remember the order you gave me before?」

「An order?」

「The order to find a human with black hair and black eyes. So I searched the entire world…」

I felt a sudden sense of displeasure. I hadn’t even heard the rest of the story, but I felt like I knew what was coming. My excited mood instantly sank.

「There were no humans with both black hair and black eyes, except for Kwon Yul.」

「Is that so?」

「Master, and also…」

「You’re about to talk about the oracle, right?」

I cut off Fleabag’s story and continued.

「I know. You also think that Yul is the hero.」

「Yes.」

Fleabag answered obediently. He would have no choice. The oracle was so clearly pointing to ‘Yul’. But…

「I won’t give him up.」

「…Master?」

「I found Yul. I’m the one who taught him to speak, and I’m the one who took him for walks. What have the humans done for Yul? The humans don’t have the right. I am Yul’s master. Besides, Yul said he can’t be without me. He said he wants to stay with me forever.」

「Master, but the oracle…」

The oracle—the moment I heard those words, something welled up inside me. Dragons were life forms created by God to maintain the balance of the world. In other words, that meant I could not die until the world was destroyed. Because as long as the world exists, the balance must continuously be maintained.

I have lived for a tiresomely long time. And so, I have lost many things. I was crumbling like a cliff eroded by waves. I was wearing away like a tree being eaten by maggots. Still, I thought I was quite happy because I could still feel joy.

But now, God was trying to arbitrarily take away the human who brought me laughter. It was unfair. I don’t care whether the world is destroyed or not.

「I am the one who protects the balance of the world. God cannot interfere with me.」

But my words were nothing but sophistry. The ‘balance of the world’ was also created by God, so if he truly wanted to intervene, there was nothing he couldn’t do. Even so, I wanted to deny it and gritted my teeth.

「If that is your will, Master, I will follow it.」

I didn’t answer and blocked the mental connection with Fleabag. My mood sank to rock bottom. I sat collapsed, looking at the sleeping Yul, and then crawled over to him.

“You said you wanted to be with me, so it’s okay not to give you up, right?”

“…”

The sleeping Yul had no answer. I let out a sigh and rested my head next to his. Feeling Yul’s breath nearby made me feel a little better.

I quietly closed my eyes. It seemed nice to fall asleep this close to Yul.

“Uung…”

It seems I really did fall asleep just like that. I barely opened my eyes at the feeling of something lightly tickling my face. But I wasn’t fully awake yet, so I blinked blankly.

What was touching my face? It didn’t feel unpleasant, so I left it be and let out a sigh. Then, the thing touching me paused for a moment. Why did it stop? I lifted my eyes, which were slowly beginning to focus, and looked up.

The first thing that came into view was a pair of black eyes. Next, I saw a radiant face and black hair. A smile formed on my lips without me realizing.

“It’s Yul.”

Yul seemed a little flustered. The hand that had been fiddling with my face hung awkwardly in the air. Moreover, a strange feeling of embarrassment was transmitted to me as well. Feeling that ticklish emotion made me feel good. I pushed my head a little closer toward Yul’s hand.

“You’re not going to touch me anymore?”

Yul bit his lip. The tips of his ears seemed to have turned a little red, too. Was I too forward? I guess so… Even a small creature would be flustered if its master abruptly pushed his head at it, so how surprised must Yul, a human, be. As I was trying to sneakily pull my head back, Yul covered my eyes with his large hand.

“Yul?”

Yul didn’t say anything, and then he removed the hand covering my eyes. This time, he covered his own face instead. I approached Yul on my knees. I could feel Yul’s heart beating fast. What kind of emotion was this? Hmm… If I had to pick a similar feeling, would it be the feeling of wanting to give a kiss?

“Do you want to kiss me?”

“…No.”

Yul, who had mumbled softly, let out a long sigh. Then, before I could stop him, he shot up and strode out of the lodging.

“Uh, uh…?”

This was the first time Yul had gone out first without me even suggesting we go for a walk. No, did he run away? But to say he ran away, he left too confidently. I blinked blankly before belatedly jumping to my feet.

“Yul, let’s go together!”
