VSP 65

Cha Dogyeong was one thing. He could accept Lucky Love Mode, sub-missions, and the main mission.

But at least Cha Dogyeong persuaded Sejun when they kissed for the first time.

Did he know how terrible an Antlion Hell in an A-rank dungeon was?

Sejun flinched and ended up only biting his lips while thinking about the mission. When Sejun awkwardly bit his lips, Cha Dogyeong clicked his tongue and kissed him.

It was unbearably embarrassing. Lucky Love Mode was not that easy, he had only rubbed his lips against Dogyeong’s smooth lips, hoping he would complete the mission. He had even mumbled complaints about why it would not clear.

Ah, thinking about it again made him feel ashamed.

Maybe it was because he had already brooded many times over the kisses with Lee Dohun and fallen into gloom, or maybe it was because Cha Dogyeong was right next to him so only that came to mind. Sejun remembered the past instead of today’s memory and felt embarrassed. While Sejun sat there lost like that, Cha Dogyeong quietly looked at him and opened his mouth.

“Seo Sejun.”

For some reason, his own name sounded very grim. Sejun flinched and lifted his head, and he saw Cha Dogyeong’s face looking strange, unlike usual.

Huh?

“How was it?”

What is that question?

Sejun had to think carefully about what he had just said last. Ah. He had said let’s go to the Antlion Hell, and trailed off. Just that much seemed enough for Dogyeong to figure out what had happened.

If someone knew about Sejun and Lee Dohun’s relationship, it was not that hard to guess.

Lee Dohun had the power to force Sejun, and although going to the Antlion Hell required both of them to agree, a kiss was something that could succeed as long as one side had a little more strength.

So what he was asking, in the end, was how the forced kiss was?

Sejun’s expression stiffened. He could not understand why he was asking this. Of course it was shitty.

But was Cha Dogyeong really asking that obvious thing?

“How was the kiss?”

Sejun blinked several times.

Was this bastard really asking how the kiss was?

Sejun was about to answer that of course it was shitty, but he flinched.

Wait, was this bastard maybe asking about the one with himself…?

Of course, from the situation it seemed more like he was asking about the kiss with Lee Dohun. But Sejun still asked just in case.

“You’re not asking about the one with you, right?”

“Ha.”

Cha Dogyeong laughed like it was absurd.

“You just thought about the one you had with me?”

Not Lee Dohun?

At that moment, his voice sounded almost delighted. Was Sejun’s ear hearing wrong? Though before any delight, his tone made Sejun’s face heat up fast.

No, saying it like that makes it sound weird, you crazy bastard!

Sejun could not hide his heated face and rubbed his cheeks roughly. Cha Dogyeong showed a pleased expression.

“That’s good too, Seo Sejun.”

Good, my ass!

What Sejun was saying in his head, Dogyeong neither knew nor cared. He narrowed his eyes.

“I asked how it was with Lee Dohun?”

“Ah.”

So it really was about the kiss with Lee Dohun, not with him.

Sejun was about to feel embarrassed for a moment, but at the phrase “the kiss with Lee Dohun,” made him frown.

“Fuck, don’t make me remember it. It pisses me off.”

Those words were a 200% honest.

The kiss with Lee Dohun? The worst. Just recalling it ruined his mood and pissed him off. Maybe because of his nature, he rarely felt gloomy, but today he couldn’t help but feel that way.

The fact that the bastard’s kiss had been somewhat skilled made it even more infuriating. While Sejun frowned in annoyance, Cha Dogyeong, who had been quietly watching him, slowly spoke.

“Right.”

He brushed his bangs up as he said that. Sejun did not know how to interpret the expression on his face at that moment.

“What is this dirty but not bad feeling?”

Even Cha Dogyeong seemed unsure how to express his own mood.

“Seo Sejun.”

When Sejun stared blankly at his face, not understanding what this was about, Cha Dogyeong suddenly made a demand while staring into his face.

“Kiss me.”

That was what he said.

Sejun’s eyes blinked like a dying light bulb. Did he hear wrong?

“What?”

“I said kiss me.”

But Sejun’s ears were perfectly fine. He had not misheard. Cha Dogyeong really was telling Sejun to kiss him.

Sejun’s head tangled like a twisted skein. What was this? What was happening?

“What… bullshit is this?”

When Sejun honestly reacted, Cha Dogyeong laughed.

“Ah, ruthless. You asked me to before too. I kissed you the moment you asked, but why won’t you do it for me?”

“No, that’s…!”

Of course there had been times like that! Cha Dogyeong had granted Seo Sejun’s request much more easily than expected! But that was, that was…!

That was only because less than a day remained for the sub-mission and Seo Sejun had been desperate, worried he might go bald!

Of course, even considering all else, it did not change the fact that Cha Dogyeong had gone easy on him and granted a request that seemed unreasonable.

How did that become a reason for Seo Sejun to kiss Cha Dogyeong now?!

“Unfair.”

But Cha Dogyeong clicked his tongue as if he was playing fair and Sejun had used a cheap foul. Of course Sejun was so dumbfounded by that attitude that he had to gape.

“What, unfair? What are you suddenly doing this for?”

Why was fairness coming up here? This was not a game of throwing and catching a ball! It was not even a sport!

“Then why did you do it that time?”

“Ugh.”

Seo Sejun had no words to refute that. Among the rules of the main mission and sub-missions, there had been no clause forbidding him from revealing the secrets of this world to Cha Dogyeong, but it must be an unspoken rule. The other person must not be allowed to know.

So Sejun, who could not say it had been because of the mission, because he did not want to go bald, hesitated vaguely.

Cha Dogyeong looked at him as if he had expected that. But he did not seem to want to insist further or push him harder about that matter.

“I don’t even know why am I doing this.”

That was what he said instead.

Sejun’s shoulders flinched without him realizing, then sank.

If Cha Dogyeong did not know why either, and yet suddenly felt that desire, there was only one possibility.

…Ah, had Lucky Love Mode activated without him noticing?

He had not seen any activation notice, but this world itself was practically obsessed with tying him and Cha Dogyeong together, and he could have missed the notice. His heart had been beating so hard.

Fuck, if it was going to pop up, it should have done so when a sub-mission was active.

Sejun even grumbled at the poorly timed Lucky Love Mode.

[Hmm.]

The system hummed and coughed several times as if it had plenty to say, but in the end it never spoke.

While that happened, Cha Dogyeong, who had been lost in thought for a moment, added more words.

“I’ve always been the type who likes living my own way.”

So even now, he said, he was only doing whatever he wanted, however he pleased, and he urged Sejun again.

Seo Sejun, what are you doing? Hurry.

Looking at Cha Dogyeong’s face full of confidence that Seo Sejun would kiss him, Seo Sejun realized that he was the only one flustered in this situation and bit his lips.

Sejun had never once taken the lead against Cha Dogyeong.

Sejun hesitated but made up his mind. Do it. If he thought about the main mission, building the mood with Cha Dogyeong when Lucky Love Mode was pushing them mattered too, and he still had to answer when Cha Dogyeong asked earlier why he had wanted him to kiss him, so this would make them even.

With a tense face, Sejun put his hand on Cha Dogyeong’s shoulder.

“Cha Dogyeong.”

He acted roughly, like the time when they first kissed and he had told Cha Dogyeong not to move.

“Open your mouth.”

Cha Dogyeong looked surprised, as if he had never heard such an order before, and opened his mouth with a “Ha.” But then he soon started laughing.

“Hah hah.”

Cha Dogyeong realized it was the same line Sejun had said on the day they kissed. He grinned as if it amused him, opened his mouth, and stuck out his tongue.

He acted obediently, like a child listening well. Of course, he was far too big to be a child.

Sejun hesitated for a moment, but somehow it was no longer a mood he could refuse. More than that, at that point even Sejun felt an unknown excitement filling his whole body. That was probably also the effect of Lucky Love Mode.

He held Cha Dogyeong’s solid shoulder, but still wavered a little, just a little.

Why had he told him to open his mouth? And why was this bastard sticking his tongue out when he had only said to open it!

Sejun, still hesitant, lightly bit Cha Dogyeong’s tongue.

It was soft. He touched the wet tongue with his own and sucked on it. Then, as if to make the kiss more comfortable, Cha Dogyeong pulled Seo Sejun’s waist toward him. Seo Sejun disliked the awkward posture too, so he let him pull him without resistance.
