VSP 124

Sometimes it happens. It’s not a dream, but it feels like his mind isn’t in reality. It’s like his consciousness is floating in some strange, unknown space.

Sejun had been feeling that way quite often lately.

If he had to use an analogy, it would be like feeling like his mind was floating in a place where there was nothing but a white, empty land, and the only thing visible was the distant horizon.

And he often saw a person there. Today was the same.

No, can he even call that a person? It was a white silhouette, but it looked like an adult male. However, since he couldn’t tell what clothes it was wearing, let alone its facial features, he could only assume it was an adult male.

That being always stared at Sejun whenever their eyes met. He didn’t seem to have eyes, so he couldn’t be sure, but it felt that way.

That day too, Sejun met eyes with that man.

Who the hell is that?

When Sejun thought that to himself, it usually meant that he would soon wake up, and that day too, he thought that he would soon wake up from this dream that didn’t seem like a dream.

[I told you it wasn’t my intention!]

Suddenly, a woman screamed. It was a voice Sejun had never heard before…

[It’s already out of my hands! I’m done with it!]

No. This isn’t the first time. Where have I heard that voice before?

[This isn’t my story anymore!]

Only then did Sejun remember when he’d heard it before. Ah, that’s it.

She wanted to write a BL novel, but she ended up writing a modern fantasy, and she cursed the PD in a resentful voice…

But Sejun had no time to continue his thoughts. His consciousness was fading, and he had no way to hold on to his mind, which was already drifting away from that space.

Sejun muttered unconsciously as he looked at the silhouette of the man still staring at him through his blurry vision.

Hey, System. What the hell is that?

At that moment, Sejun opened his eyes wide.

“…….”

It was an unfamiliar ceiling. Sejun, who recalled a phrase he’d heard somewhere before, turned his head, bewildered. Then, his eyes met with Cha Dogyeong’s, who was looking at him with a smile.

“Hi.”

“……Uh, hello.”

Sejun replied to the casual greeting with a blank expression. His sleepy mind couldn’t grasp the situation.

The fragments of the dream that had already vaguely lingered in his mind completely evaporated and vanished in that moment. Cha Dogyeong was right before his eyes. Cha Dogyeong.

At that moment, memories of what he had done with Cha Dogyeong here just yesterday came rushing into Sejun’s head like a wave.

“……Ugh.”

Sejun’s face turned bright red. He sat up in surprise, his whole body aching as if he’d been beaten. He’d never actually been beaten before, but it felt like the aftereffects of clearing a tough dungeon.

In addition, although his soft body was covered with a blanket, the problem was that he was naked and not wearing a single pair of underwear!

“Hyung, aren’t you hungry?”

Unlike Sejun, who was completely flustered, Cha Dogyeong’s face was calm, as if nothing had happened the night before. He was dressed, and unlike Sejun, his face showed no hint of the maddening embarrassment or shame.

His face was so calm and composed that even Sejun might’ve thought he had dreamed everything if it weren’t for the fact that he was naked, his muscles were sore all over, and a particular area was throbbing.

“What’s wrong, why aren’t you answering?”

Sejun was staring at him without any response, so when Dokyung asked him that question, Sejun opened his mouth, trembling.

“……Did I have sex with you?”

“…….”

Dogyeong’s eyes widened for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected such a question to come up, but his expression quickly turned sullen.

“I was wondering what kind of nonsense you were going to say.”

He crossed his legs and folded his arms, his expression and posture gruff as if he had never had such a friendly face before.

“Did you lose your memory in one day? Do you want me to reenact it for you?”

It was a clear response that he was offended, but to Sejun, it was a definite affirmative answer to his question.

“Huh.”

Even though he knew it, when it was confirmed right before his eyes, Sejun’s mind suddenly became noisy and chaotic.

I ate him.

I finally ate Cha Dogyeong!

If he had to be precise, it was closer to being eaten, but in any case, it was right that the mission had been properly accomplished.

Mission! Main mission!

Sejun hurriedly checked the main mission.

And then he opened his eyes wide.

Main Mission: Eat Cha Dogyeong (1/1)

The number 0, which seemed like it would never change, had finally changed to 1.

But the problem was the other letters underneath it.

<Calculating rewards>

Calculating?

The unexpected combination of words prompted Sejun to blink.

“Hey…….”

Sejun, who was about to call the system naturally, quickly shut his mouth when he saw Cha Dogyeong with a sullen face in front of him.

“……Cha Dogyeong.”

Sejun called Dogyeong naturally, as if he had originally intended to call him.

There were many things he was curious about, but the mission was a success anyway, and since he hadn’t started this because he was curious about the reward in the first place, it seemed more appropriate to pay attention to Cha Dogyeong, who was irritated by the question, “Did I have sex with you?” right in front of him.

Moreover, Sejun, with his extraordinary keen eye, knew that this was one of the few moments when he could push things a bit with Cha Dogyeong. Sejun immediately narrowed his eyes.

“Why do you look like that? Unlike you, I’m sick right now. My whole body hurts, you bastard.”

“Does it hurt? The back wasn’t torn.”

But the imposing Seo Sejun’s battleship instantly sank. Sejun’s face flushed bright red as the unimaginable words spilled from Cha Dogyeong’s lips.

Dogyeong continued speaking calmly, not caring about Sejun’s reaction.

“I thought it would be okay since we only did it once.”

But the shame and embarrassment were quickly replaced by anger. Sejun threw a pillow at Dogyeong.

“You squeezed everything out of me even in that one time, you animal!”

Once? Once? It was absurd. If he had to count the number of times, it was once, but Sejun felt it was too unfair to count the intense act that continued from the bathroom as just one time.

Dogyeong, who had caught the pillow thrown by Sejun in front of his nose with his amazing physical ability, sighed.

“The animal is someone else.”

The face that was muttering in discontent seemed to be recalling some unpleasant memory, but Sejun couldn’t understand it.

But whatever the case, Sejun felt he couldn’t continue the conversation. He was so weak compared to Cha Dogyeong on this topic. Embarrassed, he fanned his red face and changed the subject.

“Cha Dogyeong.”

“What?”

“I’m hungry.”

Fortunately, even when the topic of conversation was changed, Dogyeong nodded without any particular reaction.

“What should I order?”

“Hmm.”

Sejun, who rarely orders delivery at home, frowned. He knew Cha Dogyeong didn’t have much at home.

“I’m not in the mood for processed food today.”

“Then?”

“Is there anything to eat?”

“There is bottled water.”

What came out of his mouth wasn’t ramen or a meal kit, but bottled water. Sejun sighed, knowing that Cha Dogyeong wasn’t joking and that there was really nothing in this house.

“What on earth do you eat to live?”

“All men who live alone are like that.”

As a man living alone, he couldn’t just sit by and watch. But Sejun knew that he was the only one who took care of himself, and he knew the average man living alone was different.

No, to be precise, Cha Dogyeong was below average. Even so, most tend to have things like ramen and tuna, but Cha Dogyeong’s house didn’t even have those.

The fact that there were no side dishes or anything else meant that he wasn’t even buying anything and was taking care of everything with delivery or eating out.

Usually, parents would step in before things get to this point… Sejun groaned as he briefly thought of Cha Dogyeong’s family.

Even though Sejun hadn’t been close to Cha Dogyeong for very long, it was well known how terrible Cha Dogyeong’s family was.

“Shall we go grocery shopping?”

Finally, Sejun sighed and suggested they go grocery shopping. While they’re at it, let’s stock up on this guy’s fridge and make him something to eat.

“You will cook?”

“Yeah.”

Cha Dogyeong seemed lost in thought for a moment, but quickly nodded. He even smiled, as if the suggestion sounded good to him.

“Okay.”

“Hey, if we’re going out, give me some clothes.”

Sejun quickly asked for clothes. He hadn’t actually said anything, but he was still quite embarrassed, having been wrapped in a blanket and naked.

Even though he’d seen it all the night before (his repeated requests to turn off the lights were ignored) his body was so soft, Cha Dogyeong must have seen it all while washing him! But Sejun was still too inexperienced to act shamelessly the day after sex.
