Even after opening his eyes, he didn't realize he was awake. He just stared dreamily at the
blurry bedside table.
Gradually, his consciousness began to return, and the first thing he clearly saw was the clock
on the nightstand.
"9:46"
9:46... The bright lights indicated it was evening.
Jeong Taeui slowly blinked, noting the time and realizing it was nighttime; he had completely
lost his sense of time.
This wasn't a time to be waking up, so why had he been asleep?
With a hazy and sluggish mind, Jeong Taeui turned over.
"…!!"
At that moment, he realized why he had passed out there.
His lower body ached. It ached terribly. No, it didn't even have any strength left. It felt like
he had no body below the waist.
When he tried to move his fingers, they worked fine, but there was no strength in his legs. He
couldn't even get out of bed, let alone walk.
As Jeong Taeui broke out in a cold sweat, he suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Are you awake?"
Jeong Taeui instinctively flinched without realizing it. He had thought he was alone because
there had been no noise, but the voice came from very close behind him.
He slowly turned his head to see Ilay sitting on a chair next to the bed.
It seemed he had been reading a book. He closed the book and took off his glasses before
standing up and sitting on the edge of the bed. He slowly looked down at Jeong Taeui.
"How are you feeling?"
"...I feel tired. Sluggish. My head is foggy. ...Okay."
After a moment's hesitation, he added the last part, and Ilay chuckled softly.
"Do you remember everything?""...Yeah..."
Jeong Taeui muttered in response and slowly pulled the blanket up. He pulled the blanket up
to his nose, fearing his face would turn red again.
Beside him, Ilay just chuckled. For some reason, Jeong Taeui thought that smile looked a bit
silly, but he didn't say anything.
This was the first time.
Although they had been intimate many times, each time reaching climax and feeling pleasure,
this time was different.
The sensation was much more intense than before, incomparable.
"..."
Jeong Taeui pulled the blanket up even further, covering his forehead.
After a while, Ilay, who had been chuckling beside him, finally pulled the blanket down when
Jeong Taeui felt too stifled to endure it.
Feeling embarrassed to face him, Jeong Taeui tried to act normal and looked straight at him.
Ilay chuckled again but this time changed the subject.
"You must be hungry after sleeping for so long. Eat something."
"Huh? ...Yeah, now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry."
Hearing him, Jeong Taeui realized he was hungry. His body was tired, and he didn't feel
much like eating, but he was hungry.
Then he suddenly noticed a scent wafting to his nose.
"Oh? This smell is..."
As Jeong Taeui mumbled, Ilay bent down to help him sit up. As he sat up, the soreness in his
hips made him wince slightly, but it was bearable.
Leaning against the headboard, Jeong Taeui finally recognized the scent.
On the table was a large tray filled with food. The tray had many dishes and bowls.
"Though it was a bit rushed, I found the best Korean restaurant to order from."
Ilay said, placing the tray of food in front of Jeong Taeui. The tray was packed with familiar
Korean dishes.
In the middle of the tray was a large bowl filled with light yellow soup."This is what you wanted to eat, right? Eat a lot. There's more. If you want anything else, just
let me know."
"Yeah... Thanks. ...Wow."
Looking at the Korean food laid out before him, Jeong Taeui couldn't help but exclaim in
admiration.
The quantity of food was enough that just eating a little of each dish would make him full,
and all the dishes were ones he liked.
Jeong Taeui looked up at Ilay with sparkling eyes.
"It's great to eat this again after such a long time. Thank you... But is there a special occasion
today? Why such a feast..."
He asked cheerfully while picking up his chopsticks.
But there was no answer.
It wasn't until he had a spoonful of dried pollack soup that he looked up at Ilay questioningly.
Ilay was smiling.
It was a slightly strange smile. Cheerful and pleasant, but also with something unusual.
"Today... is a good day."
"...Yeah..."
Jeong Taeui tilted his head, feeling something was off. But after a few blinks, he was drawn
by the aroma of the food and went back to diligently working with his spoon.
Initially, he didn't feel hungry, but once he started eating, he ate a lot. The food was
delicious; he didn't know where Ilay had ordered it from, but everything suited his taste
perfectly.
Jeong Taeui immersed himself in eating for quite a while. It wasn't until his stomach was
completely full that he noticed the gaze on him and glanced over.
He met Ilay's eyes.
Ilay was smiling and gestured to the food.
"Eat more. If it's not enough, I'll get more for you."
"Oh no. This is enough. I'm really full."
"Is that so? You should eat more to regain your strength. From now on, too."Ilay said with a gentle smile. His eyes crinkled as he watched Jeong Taeui eat, looking very
pleased.
"..."
Suddenly, Jeong Taeui felt a strange sensation.
It was as if he were Hänsel sitting in front of the witch, being offered a sumptuous feast.
(Hänsel and Gretel: a famous tale from the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales.)
After Jeong Taeui hesitantly put down his chopsticks and drank a glass of water, Ilay cleared
the tray. Then Ilay sat close to Jeong Taeui, gently kissing the corners of his eyes, cheeks, and
lips. A deep, soothing voice spoke.
"Taeui. Earlier was amazing. The best ever."
"...Yeah... I think so too..."
After a brief thought, Jeong Taeui answered honestly, and at that moment, he realized another
truth.
[After a glorious night, the morning will bring a lavish breakfast that could break the table.]
That wasn't just a reward for the fun they had last night but also a promise for more such fun
in the future.
"..."
Jeong Taeui stared at Ilay. He responded with a look as if to ask, 'What's wrong?' and when
Jeong Taeui didn't answer, he continued to kiss him.
In that shower of kisses, Jeong Taeui felt a vague anxiety pass through him, but he shook his
head to dispel it.
Anyway...
To be honest, Jeong Taeui had experienced ultimate pleasure.
A sensation he had never felt before, this was the first time.
The intensity was so great that it felt like losing his mind, making his head and body drown
in pleasure. Just thinking about it made his body shiver.
If he could experience it again, Jeong Taeui wanted to.
So, even if there were any intentions in the food Ilay had brought, he was willing to accept it.
'NO!... Maybe I'm the one who needs to cook for Ilay more...?'Jeong Taeui pondered this thought for a moment but quickly dismissed it when he noticed
Ilay's lower body swelling as he kissed him and held him tightly.
There was no need to feed him more. Actually, he was the one who needed to eat more. The
physical disparity was too obvious.
Jeong Taeui sighed lightly - "Hmph" - but then shook his head.
Anyway, he felt comfortable and happy at this moment, and Ilay, kissing him with a very
happy expression, seemed pleased as well.
So that was good enough.
