RB 94

The hotel where the two were staying was located in Central, the center of Hong Kong. Yeorok had to start his schedule right after arrival. Before leaving, he handed his credit card to Eunho.

“Don’t wander around and get lost. Always take a taxi when you move. Pay everything with this.”

While Choi Yeorok worked, Eunho planned to sightsee alone. He accepted the card since it was given to him, but he could not shake the awkward feeling.

“I’m not a kid.”

“I’m very worried.”

The corners of Yeorok’s mouth curled up gently. He patted Eunho’s head, and seemingly in hurry, he left the room first.

Eunho was left alone, suppressing his excitement. Maybe because it was abroad, he felt that Yeorok was kinder since no one was watching.

Seo Taehwa always accompanied Choi Yoonho when he went out in Korea. But now Eunho was completely alone. He roamed freely in places where very few people recognized him.

Choi Yeorok told him to take a taxi, but like any other tourist, he diligently walked around. He used the Hong Kong dollars he’d exchanged in advance to buy milk tea and souvenirs to give to Seo Taehwa and Ahn Jaehwan.

As the sun was setting, he also bought a ticket for the city tour bus. Eunho climbed atop the red double-decker bus, feeling the humid breeze as he took in the dazzling Hong Kong scenery over and over again.

Even though his feet were sore from walking so much, he didn’t feel tired or worn out at all. In fact, the moment was so surreal that he felt a little dizzy. Come to think of it, this was Eunho’s first time traveling.

“It would’ve been better if we came together.”

As he looked at the colorful neon signs and signs covered in Chinese characters, he find himself wishing Choi Yeorok was with him. Of course, he would never ride a double-decker bus like tourists.

When the 90 minutes city tour ended, the bus returned to Central Star Ferry Pier where it had started. As he was getting off, the phone in his hand vibrated for a long time.

[Choi Yeorok]

The name he’d presumptuously saved, just in case someone saw it, appeared on the screen. Eunho smiled and answered the phone.

“Yes.”

–Did you run away?

Yeorok’s casual remark made him laugh out loud. He continued walking with the phone pressed to his ear. The hotel was not far.

“There’s no way.”

–What have you been doing that you haven’t used the card once?

There had been only one reason he gave him that card. He wanted to know where Eunho went.

Because he was stuck at work, he had no way of knowing what Sim Eunho was doing.

“I just walked around, ate good food, and looked around.”

–I can guess. You must’ve run around like a puppy again.

Even in the loud city full of people, Yeorok’s deep low voice sounded clear. The smile on Eunho’s lips deepened.

“Are you still busy, Chairman?”

–I was going to have dinner together, but it looks like work will end late.

Yeorok’s sigh was heavy. His voice alone made it clear that he was exhausted.

–Is sightseeing fun?

“Yes.”

“Don’t stay out too late. Come back soon. Text me when you get to the hotel.”

It sounded more like concern than an order. That slightly weary voice did not sound like the usual Choi Yeorok. Instead of saying that he was already in front of the hotel, Eunho just said he understood. It felt nice that Yeorok cared about him.

“Yes, see you later.”

After the call ended, Eunho returned to the hotel. He placed his bags and packages quietly in the corner and went to wash first.

The room where Eunho was staying could almost be compared to Haegang’s annex. There were several bathrooms and bedrooms. The reception room was smaller than the annex, but the furniture and decorations inside looked as luxurious as the royal palaces of Europe that he had only seen in books.

He was glad he had grown somewhat immune to wealth. Eunho changed into comfortable clothes and sat on the wide soft bed. Maybe because he had walked a lot, his eyelids kept closing even though it was still early.

Eunho suddenly remembered and sent a text to Yeorok saying he had returned safely to the hotel. Naturally, there was no reply. He only felt sorry that Choi Yeorok was still caught up in work even here in Hong Kong.

Rrrrr–

The phone rang from the front desk.

“May we send the room service up now?”

The sudden question made Eunho stiffen. But since they were abroad, communicating in English was a given. Fortunately, he had studied English diligently in school. Eunho listened intently, assessing the situation, and answered.

“What is it?”

“A guest of room 2901 requested room service through the concierge earlier. It’s ready now. If you prefer a specific time, we can adjust.”

“Ah… yes, now is fine.”

A moment later, a magnificent dinner was set in the reception room. Even without asking, he knew Yeorok had ordered it.

Eunho ate alone in silence. He was used to eating alone, so there was no reason to feel lonely. Yet he found himself waiting for Yeorok.

“When will he come?”

Time passed far beyond midnight. Eunho lay on the bed and looked through his travel brochure. He planned to stay awake until Yeorok came, but his tired body and sleepiness left him no choice. In the end, he dozed off.

In his sleep, he felt movement nearby. Before he opened his eyes, the bed sank. Then, a heavy weight settled on his thigh. Yeorok had arrived.

He lay down with only his jacket removed, using Eunho’s thigh as a pillow. He looked completely relaxed, as if he had no intention of getting up.

Eunho slowly raised his upper body. He was still sleepy. He rubbed his eyes and forced himself to wake up.

“…When did you come?”

“Did you enjoy dinner?”

Yeorok asked back. He only tilted his head and looked up at Eunho’s face.

“Yes. Everything was good.”

“That’s a relief.”

He looked exhausted. How hard had his day been? He rarely looked this drained. Eunho lowered his head and studied his pale face for a long time because it was so unusual to see Choi Yeorok looking so tired.

“You worked hard.”

Yeorok smiled at those words. He slowly adjusted his posture and hugged Eunho’s waist. He pressed his forehead against Eunho’s stomach and sighed. The way he nestled in his arms looked as if he wanted comfort.

Eunho carefully reached out his hand. He gently brushed Yeorok’s soft hair. He parted his hair as he pleased and stroked his smooth forehead, but Yeorok remained still.

The sight of him letting Eunho touch him felt strange. Somehow their roles seemed reversed, and Yeorok’s guard had been lowered.

Although nothing had become certain in their relationship, Eunho’s heart was filled with warmth at the mere change in Yeorok’s attitude.

“I’ve never seen you act like a child before, Chairman.”

“Let it go. I’m too tired from dealing with people.”

Eunho quietly comforted him. Since his feelings were already exposed, there was no reason to hide them, so he touched Yeorok with all his affection.

Then a thought crossed his mind.

“Have you had dinner?”

“……”

“You didn’t skip another meal, right?”

“I’m hungry.”

Those words brought a flash of consciousness. What should he do? He needed to eat something. Eunho carefully lifted Yeorok’s head from his thigh and pulled his leg out.

“I bought egg tarts. I know you don’t really like sweets, but I thought it’d be nice if you tried one, so I bought…”

Before he could stand up from the bed, he sat back down. Yeorok had grabbed his wrist and pulled him. Yeorok pushed up his body quickly and pressed the awkwardly sitting Eunho down on the bed. The dull eyes from before now sparkled.

“Forget that. I want to eat Sim Eunho right now.”

The way he pulled the knot of his necktie loose looked sensual. Watching that made a shiver run up Eunho’s spine. How could he resist? He only wanted to give his whole body to this man.

Eunho carefully took off his T-shirt, pants, and underwear. His face burned red, but he didn’t refuse.

Meanwhile, Yeorok also took off his shirt. He was impatient, but his fingers moved slowly, perhaps because of fatigue. Since he was slow, Eunho reached out first and undid the buckle of his pants. He had only pulled down the zipper, but Yeorok already kissed his lips.

“Chairman, uh, wait..”

One button that he had not undone popped off. Yeorok threw his shirt aside and put his weight on Eunho. Trying to stop him was useless.

Their bodies were entangled on the bed like one. The rough fabric of his suit pants rubbed against the inside of Eunho’s thigh, constantly rubbing his soft skin.

Yeorok kissed him like a starving man. His hot flesh filled Eunho’s mouth, and he drew out every drop of saliva, pulling their tongues together to the roots. Eunho could not resist the dizzying stimulation. He relaxed all strength from his body and gave himself up completely.

After a long time, their mouths parted. The sensation of the string of saliva stretching and breaking was stimulating. Yeorok caught his breath, his chest heaving, and brushed Eunho’s messy bangs away.

“Sim Eunho-ssi, I know you were hurt because of me.”

“……”

“But I’ve never felt guilt for anyone, and I’ve never given a sincere apology in my life.”

Yeorok suddenly confessed. Eunho slowly lifted his eyelids. Only then did he realize Yeorok was talking about what happened before.

“It’s fine. You don’t need to apologize.”

This was enough. Eunho tightly hugged Yeorok’s shoulders. The fact that Choi Yeorok wanted him right now felt like full compensation. The sense of fulfillment was indescribable.

“You’re too selfless.”

Yeorok chuckled. Then he took Eunho’s warm ear between his lips and whispered.

“Then I’ll taste you until I’m sick of it tonight.”

The sound of Eunho swallowing echoed. It was a warning that something had already gone wrong.
