Summary

Yoojin didn't expect to get pregnant from a one-night stand since he was a man, but that was
fine. What wasn't fine was Yoohyun dying and having to regress to save him. He would have
had no regret if not for his unborn child. But he promised them he'd get them back when he
regressed, and he intended to keep that promise. Now, if only he knew how he got pregnant
in the first place.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin limped into the bar as he felt the heat under his skin radiating off him. It was always
annoying when this happened, but Yoohyun had left years ago so there was only one way to
get even a small bit of relief. Yoojin’s dread for these days increased the more time passed,
the longer he was estranged from his brother.

His ‘fevers’ used to be a fond memory, where he would call Yoohyun out of school because
of his urges to make sure his baby brother was being cared for. They would watch movies, eat
food they prepared together, and Yoohyun always allowed all the hugs Yoojin seemed to
need. It was an event they both looked forward to together, and it was enough to calm the
heat that came three times a year.

But now Yoohyun hated him, and Yoojin didn’t want to spend three days cranky and
overheated. Sleeping with someone was his best bet, but ever since the injury to his leg
finding a partner was infinitely more difficult. People usually didn’t find crutches attractive.
And sex was complicated when he couldn’t put his weight on one of his legs.

Despite this, Yoojin was at least going to try. What did he have to lose? He just wanted the
small bit of relief of another's touch on his skin. It was never enough, but it helped the itch
inside himself settle a little. He could survive without it, but why would he deal with more
discomfort than he already had? His reputation was already shit; he could only go up from
here.

Yoojin was unused to this bar, his regular closed for the day. He realized it was a mistake to
not look into the place beforehand, since the only seats were barstools too tall for him to use.
He resigned himself to standing as he drank, and he prayed that he would have someone to
spend the night with. He wasn’t picky, just a person willing to touch him properly. Today he
would even deal with an asshole as long as the sex itself was satisfactory.

Once he reached where the bartender was working, he ordered a pomegranate ginger spritzer.
He didn’t need to be drunk, just something to sip as he evaluated who he had a chance with.
As he awkwardly moved his crutches so he could lean on the counter for support, he
suddenly felt himself being lifted and sat onto the barstool next to him. The hands on his
waist were large, and Yoojin could smell a distinct scent of mint and lavender.
The stranger's hands lingered on his back for a few seconds and when they finally left Yoojin
felt as if the touch had burned marks onto his back. The scent was lovely, and his body urged
him to get closer to it. At least, that was until he turned around and saw Sung Hyunjae,
previous leader of Seseong Guild.

The S rank hunter had disappeared years ago, so what the hell was he doing in a tiny bar in
seedy parts of Seoul? Did he like sneaking around? With the curious smile the man was
giving him, his danger radar should have been screaming. However, it was silent. Yoojin’s
only reaction was a shiver down his spine when the smile turned into a smirk. The face of an
S rank was unfair on many levels.

“What a lovely surprise, to see the man I helped into his seat to be Han Yoojin. I’m oh so
curious on why that brother of yours left you with an injury this serious. But I can put aside
my questions, for I have an even greater curiosity.”

Hyunjae lightly traced Yoojin’s face from his temple to his cheek. Yoojin did his best to keep
still, following the motions with his eyes.

“I’ve never craved to touch another this way, you see. Even helping you into the chair was a
feat for me. But I saw your back and the urge to get closer to you was strong enough for me
to try. And amazingly, I simply want to touch you again. Your rose scent is quite alluring you
know, I would love to know where you acquired it.”

The hand slowly tracing Yoojin’s face lowered and settled as a firm pressure on the side of
his neck. It was a claim, or least the desire to have one. It burned, and Yoojn would have to
do something about it. He might have been a measly F rank hunter, but he wanted to establish
that he could contribute to this brief relationship. He didn’t like being walked over, but he
had claimed in his prayers that he would be fine with a jerk. He moved Hyunjae’s hand so
that it rested on his chest and held it there.

“Ah Hyunjae, what’s a handsome hunter like you doing in an area like this? For a man that
supposedly disappeared, you apparently still have the time to go after this thirty year old.
However I won’t complain, since I also like the scent of mint and lavender. Will you take
care of me properly? That’s all I need as well.”

Hyunjae grinned and lifted Yoojin onto his shoulder as if he was a sack of potatoes. What an
ass. He handed the crutches to Yoojin to carry and paid for the drink he ordered but never got
to drink. Hyunjae also asked for the nearest quality hotel, which was twenty minutes by car.
The sleek white car looked ridiculous next to the dirty wall it was parked by, but suited
Hyunjae quite well. The ride would have probably been awkward if Yoojin hadn’t gotten
interrogated the entire time.

“Yoojin dear, you never did tell me where your rose scent came from. I so do desire it”

“Who’s your dear? And any scent you smell is just me, I don’t exactly have the funds for
cologne.”

A scoff. “Hah! And the world is flat. With a scent this delicate you claim you produce it
naturally? When it’s this strong? I’m not a fool, maybe your lovely brother accepted a request
from the hyung he loves so much.”

Yoojin felt his face tighten with bitterness as he laughed scornfully. “Who’s the delusional
one who thinks my brother loves me when I’m a leech he cut off eight years ago. I don’t
claim any rose scent, I think your delusions are taking off. All I have on is soap and the
clothes on my back.”

Hyunjae hummed and glanced at Yoojin thoughtfully.

“Would you like to change that? I would like to try a few scents on Yoojin.”

“What? No. We only have one goal here. I will take anything you’d like to leave with me
though. I appreciate all gifts.”

“Oh what a shame. Now if you could give me your time I could buy a fun outfit…”

Yoojin and Hyunjae somehow survived the car ride.

As Yoojin struggled to exit the car with his crutches, he was turned into a sack of potatoes
once more. Without complaint, since Hyunjae had said the other option was to become a
princess instead. They quickly checked into their room, and Yoojin was glad he couldn’t see
the face of the receptionist. His embarrassment was at its max already.

Once the door was closed behind them, the atmosphere shifted immediately. Hyunjae was
going to take what he wanted, and Yoojin was only going to encourage him. He was laid onto
the bed a bit roughly, with Hyunjae quickly moving to kiss him. His lips were soft and warm,
and immediately started soothing Yoojin’s need to be touched. The bastard was great at
kissing of course, but he would let it go this time since it was in his favor.

It wasn’t enough. The heat was getting worse and Yoojin needed more. He tugged on
Hyunjae’s shirt.

“Hey, are you going to do something anytime soon? I need more skin than your lips you
know.”

Hyunjae smiled sweetly, it was bullshit of course. “I can’t enjoy the moment? Touching you
is very new for me. Yoojin should take pity on me and teach me what to do.”

“Hah, what do you need to learn? You are already kissing with flying colors. Isn’t the rest the
same?”

A delighted laugh. “I’m glad you think so, but I don’t do this kind of thing. No one has been
in my bed before, and I would like to be taught when it’s enjoyable. When will I desire to
touch a person like this again?”

He stroked Yoojin’s cheek with his thumb, and he failed to keep his shiver in. All right,
Hyunjae wanted a teacher? He’d get one. The bastard better be prepared. He slowly lifted his
shirt over his head and tossed it. He felt Hyunjae’s eyes following the movement and smirked
at his success.
“Fine, my dear student must follow my instructions well, okay? Step one, take off your shirt.
It gets in the way and my skin feels much better.”

Once Hyunjae promptly unbuttoned and slipped off his shirt, Yoojin took his hands and
placed them on his torso. He continued explaining. “You wanted to touch me right? Keep
going and find what you like and what I like. Your mouth is also a tool, don’t be afraid to use
it.”

Hyunjae seemed hesitant at first, but quickly got over it as his hands roamed around Yoojin’s
chest and stomach. He leaned over for kisses as well, which felt nice paired with his touch.
He was a quick learner as well, since he started to trail his kisses downwards.

Yoojin wasn’t able to stop the noises Hyunjae was coaxing out of him. His touch was
intoxicating, and he only desired more. His moans only seemed to egg Hyunjae on, with him
experimenting with teeth and tongue as well. As expected, being inexperienced was a lie.
Leaving marks all over Yoojin’s torso without shame, the man was just a pervert.

But Yoojin wasn’t much better. He moaned when Hyunjae sucked on his chest, and twitched
when his cock was palmed roughly. Hyunjae was finally taking the initiative. Yoojin sensed
his underwear becoming damp and knew he would be ready soon.

His pants were ripped off, and Yoojin tugged at Hyunjae’s pants to tell him to do the same.
However after removing Yoojin’s underwear as well, Hyunjae paused.

“Yoojin? Why is your underwear damp in two places? Did you have an accident?”

Yoojin groaned as he covered his face. He always hated explaining this part. “No, sometimes
when I get aroused I produce a natural lubricant. My penis is normal, but my ass makes it
easier for penetration sometimes. By the time it started I couldn’t afford to get tests to find
out what it was exactly, but all my partners who’ve interacted with it said it was similar to
lube. Don’t worry about it- What the fuck are you doing?!” He quickly uncovered his face to
stare.

Hyunjae had leaned down to lick at his thighs where his liquid had dripped onto. His
curiosity was evident, but he had a too pleased look for a person who just ate mystery liquid
from an ass.

“I’m simply following teacher’s instructions. My mouth is a tool, no? Your lubricant smelled
enticing enough that I wanted to try.” He licked his lips and smirked at Yoojin’s gobsmacked
look as he gripped his thighs. “You taste sweet, it’s quite addicting matched with the rose
scent that seems to be getting stronger. I would like to try other things with Yoojin, hm?”

“You lose common sense in bed? In what world are human fluids sweet? I’m not candy. But I
do want to move forward as well.” He looked pointedly at Hyunjae’s straining cock in his
briefs. “Don’t you want relief? I’ll give it to you quickly. Do you have a condom and lube?”

Hyunjae chuckled. “I was never interested before, and none of these condoms will fit. This is
what happens when people are unprepared for surprises. Do you even need lube when you
produce your own?”
“What am I, a god? I see your size; I need all the help I can get. As long as you don’t mind
not using a condom, I’m also fine without one.” He gave Hyunjae a crooked smile as he
spread his legs and reached down to start stretching himself. “I liked being filled up, you
see.”

“...Then I would very much like to do so. You can’t take back your words now, teacher.”

With eyes watching his every move, Yoojin was enjoying the feeling of power. But well, he
was having a little fun with the lesson. “Come here and learn how to stretch me properly, my
student.”

Yoojn grabbed one of the hands that were gripping his thighs and placed it near his entrance.
His other hand was still stretching, but he pulled it out to make room. “After adding lube to
your fingers, gently circle until you slip in a finger. Do your best to stretch me as much as
possible and get up to four fingers. Use lube as you need it. Once you use four fingers you
can do as you like. A good reward, don’t you think?”

He moaned when Hyunjae inserted his finger, his heat longing for more now that satisfaction
was so close. It was odd, it usually wasn’t that responsive when he had sex with others. But it
seemed he was blessed with extra relief this time.

Once Hyunjae finally worked his way up to the fourth finger, Yoojin was a mess. He needed
to be claimed. He wanted to be full of cum and touched everywhere he could be. He whined
with the sensation of the loss of fingers, but the head of Hyunjae’s cock quickly replaced
them as he slowly entered.

The stretch was huge and was satisfying an urge Yoojin wasn’t even aware he had. The width
was large, but the length also was a sight to behold. He wanted it all inside him immediately.
He hoped Hyunjae would go hard enough that thinking would be impossible. He could smell
the overwhelming scent of mint and lavender, and wished to drown in it.

But Hyunjae pushed slowly, and it looked like he didn't intend to use his entire length. That
had to be fixed. “My student is being too cautious; you should claim me completely. I can
still think, isn’t this a disappointment for an S rank? I am not full enough to be satisfied.”

A strained grunt. “I do not want to break my precious teacher, so I am being cautious. Can
you take responsibility for your words? I shall change you completely.”

He immediately proved his words by thrusting the rest of his length in one go. It was exactly
what Yoojin desired. To not be able to think, to only feel the cock fill him up over and over as
Hyunjae thrusted quickly. It was amazing and he could sense his climax approaching.

Then something strange occurred, Hyunjae’s cock was expanding at the base. It wasn’t too
noticeable at first, but the larger it became the more he could feel his entrance stretch as it
entered him. Hyunjae didn’t react to the change, and Yoojin was enjoying the extra
stimulation, so he didn’t comment. His heat lessened whenever it entered, and he needed that
to continue.
 Eventually, the base was large enough Hyunjae was unable to pull out, as if he had a knot in a
string. It left Yoojin full of electricity as he felt himself start to fill with cum, and he climaxed
in response. Each time he clenched around the knot it left him breathless. His fever was
mostly gone, and he wasn’t restless anymore. The problem was now that he could think, he
noticed the cum kept filling him.

“Um Hyunjae? Do you know why exactly you are releasing semen constantly? And your
base has inflated so much you can’t leave. Are you familiar with this at all?”

A pause. “I have noticed my large amounts of release, but the enlargement of my base is new
to me as well.” He smirked. “But I enjoy how it keeps me close to you.” He ran his palm over
Yoojin’s stomach. “I can feel myself inside you, as your stomach expands. Truly a beautiful
sight.”

Sighing, Yoojin resigned himself to his fate. He guessed they would have to wait to see what
would happen. He laid back and acknowledged the fact he was exhausted enough for a nap.
As he drifted off to sleep, he noticed the slight smile Hyunjae sported as he continued to trace
his stomach.

When Yoojin woke up, Hyunjae was gone, and he was all cleaned up. The hotel gave him
prepaid breakfast, and he noticed the note on the dresser as he ate.

Dear Yoojin, I had a great time learning with you, but I have matters to take care of. Wait for
me a bit, and I will see you again. The one who fell, Sung Hyunjae.

It was awkward, because this was obviously a one off, but Yoojin didn’t mind. The sex was
amazing enough that another try was an event to look forward to. Yoojin also recalled the
smile on Hyunjae’s face. It gave him a fond feeling. He could wait.

The only mystery was the tiny heat he could sense near his stomach.

Chapter End Notes

 Hello, Again
Chapter Notes

GUESS WHO'S NOT DEAD! Ok guys I'm sorry for the wait but school is hard and so
was this chapter. I'm not really used to writing smut so I struggled a lot rip. BUT I
FINISHED! This chapter will be confusing for people who haven't gotten to a certain
point of the novel but there are no spoilers! Just ask any questions you need and I'll
answer! Hope you guys enjoy!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin woke up feeling woozy and as if he woke up from a dream. He couldn’t tell what was
real anymore. Was he dead? If he was, where was Yoohyun? He hoped Yoohyun dying was
all in his head and he was just waking up from passing out drunk, but he hadn’t touched
alcohol since he found out he was pregnant. He touched his stomach on reflex, but was
startled to find a lack of bump.

The baby had been growing at a fast pace, by two months of pregnancy Yoojin looked as if
he was pregnant for six months. It had made him all the more desperate to do dungeons,
knowing he needed money for the kid. Sure, Sung Hyunjae was probably loaded despite
disappearing, but he wasn’t a reliable source of income. Truly, who knew if he would even
give up a dime for a kid he didn't sign up for. Either way, Yoojn was determined to have his
baby.

This would be harder now that he wasn’t pregnant anymore, but Yoojin could make a plan.
He was starting to remember his wish, and his promise. He couldn’t let Yoohyun stay dead,
but he would get his child back. Nothing could stop him.

My baby, I’ll get you back. I promised.

The first thing Yoojin had to consider was when in time he was. Second was how the hell did
he get pregnant in the first place. He reached out to check his phone from his bed, and the
date was about a week before he went to the awakening broker. It was precarious timing, but
he could make it work.

For getting pregnant again, Yoojin didn’t care if it was Sung Hyunjae’s. The problem was that
he had slept with people for eight years during his fevers and Hyunjae was the only one who
managed to get him with child. He hadn’t needed to think about how he got pregnant before,
but now discovering the reason was essential to getting his baby back. The bastard was his
best bet. It would be less tricky since Hyunjae wasn’t missing at this point in time, but now
Yoojin had to get the top guild in Korea’s leader to sleep with him. While he would be easy to
find, he wouldn’t be easy to get close to.
Yoojin decided that the specifics on getting close to Hyunjae would be a problem for future
him. For now, he needed food. He had to focus on not being a mess so he could reconcile
with Yoohyun properly. His brother was so young now and seeing how much Yoohyun
missed him while they were separated destroyed Yoojin. His precious brother didn’t need to
worry anymore, Hyung would be back in action soon and would take proper care of him.

As Yoojin got out of bed he realized that regression was great for permanent injuries. It was
unbelievable, that the leg he kept expecting to collapse on himself was equally as sturdy as
his uninjured one. It was good that he wouldn’t need his crutches anymore. Not having to
limp everywhere was certainly an advantage.

Yoojin felt he deserved to enjoy his new(old) body and so decided to walk to the grocery
store that was a little out of the way. His fridge was empty, and his body was yelling at him to
eat. It was a nice walk, and he enjoyed the refreshing breeze.

He was in a great mood until he saw Hyunjae standing outside the bar where they first met.
He had completely forgotten this route passed by the bar, but that shouldn’t have mattered.
No one other than him should have been able to remember the past. A man as famous as
Sung Hyunjae had no reason to hang around a cheap bar.

Hyunjae hovered outside the entrance, checking his surroundings with an intrigued look on
his face. It seemed as if he was waiting for someone. Yoojin couldn’t guess who, Hyunjae
never had a dating scandal and never gave the impression that he was looking for a partner.

Yoojin did his best to casually pass by, but was grabbed and pulled face first against a big
chest. Damn, it seemed he wouldn’t be escaping the bastard today. He put his hands on
Hyunjae’s chest to push away and look at his face.

“Do you grab random passerby all the time, guild leader? Surely not or the news would have
caught you by now.” He received a smirk.

“Oh but dear passerby, I simply couldn’t resist. I sensed your presence and thought that I
must have you. It was quite surprising, since I usually am not possessive at first sight. But I
was never one to deny the possibility of a fun time. Your rose scent is alluring.”

The onceover Hyunjae gave over his body was hungry, and Yoojin couldn’t stop the shiver it
caused. It made Hyunjae smile and tighten his hold on him. Truly, it was unfair that such an
attractive man was such a little shit. It wasn’t even enough to be a turn off since Yoojin
already knew how nice it was to sleep with him.

And well, he was just thinking about how he had no idea on how to get close to the man.
Yoojin didn’t know what Hyunjae did that got him pregnant, but if it happened once it should
happen again, surely. Sleep with him once and Yoojin would have his baby back. Then they
could go their separate ways and Hyunjae wouldn’t even need to know he had a child. A win-
win situation.

He gave Hyunjae a grin, he might as well have fun. “Well, I also appreciate a fun time but I
think I deserve a meal first, hm? I was on my way to the grocery store after all, I’m quite
famished.”
“Oh, our dear passerby was hungry? I should treat my new item well. We can go eat
wherever you like as soon as you tell me your name, random stranger.”

“Item? I don’t see one here. What on Earth could it be? Certainly not me. Our dear guild
leader seems delusional. I want expensive beef. You’ll be treating Han Yoojin, ordinary
civilian. Our powerful S rank hunter wouldn’t make a weakling like me pay, of course.”

The comment made Hyunjae give Yoojin a curious glance. It was obvious why, since he was
able to still make comebacks without faltering from the other’s aura. Sure, Yoohyun was
easy, but Yoojin could feel Hyunjae’s presence clearly. At least he used to, but the ‘fever’
basically made all of Hyunjae’s power more attractive. It was pure luck that this was not
discovered, and Yoojin planned to keep it unknown.

However, even though he could feel the power difference between the two of them, Yoojin
wasn’t scared of Hyunjae’s dominating aura. If it was the past he would have trembled from
it, hell, even with his ‘fever’ he trembled. But that was due to anticipation instead of fear.
Nonetheless, the physical reaction was gone and he was able to think clearly. It was odd, but
he could take advantage of this. It was clearly keeping the bastard interested, so that should
allow him enough time to get pregnant and ditch. He should just think of it as a sperm
donation.

Hyunjae smiled. “Oh what a brave civilian to speak like this to an S rank hunter, Yoojin
surely must be hiding a fun surprise. Our courageous passerby deserves a reward for
entertaining me.”

Yoojin slowly smiled and ran his hand down Hyunjae’s arm appreciatively. “I think I can
entertain you in more than one way today, no? I also enjoy having a good time like our dear S
rank. After eating I’ll be open to many activities.”

It showed how attracted Hyunjae was to him by the simple fact that he wasn’t pushed away at
all. In fact, his hold on Yoojin seemed to tighten. “I’ll make sure to do what you ask then,
dear passerby. I’m never one to turn down such an enticing offer.”

They were able to decide that they would get food delivered from the nicest restaurant nearby
and would head over to Yoojin’s place. Sung Hyunjae was still very popular, and they didn’t
need a scandal of the Seseong guild leader meeting up with an unknown civilian. It was odd
to have Hyunjae in his family home and sitting with him at the family table, but Yoojin
wanted his baby back. This was an easy concession.

The food was delicious and Yoojin was sure it was obvious on his face with the smug look he
was getting from Hyunjae. He was unsure why the male was satisfied with his enjoyment, but
the food was too good to ignore. Chances were not to be wasted.

“I’m glad Yoojin likes the food, I would hate to disappoint.”

He scoffed. “You were not the one cooking so what would I be disappointed in? Surely not
your restaurant taste since I was the one who got to pick. It was quite intriguing to find out
you don’t know which restaurants are popular until you purposely look for nice ones. Does
our precious guild leader never eat out?”
Hyunjae smiled, indulging. “Most S rank hunters cook for themselves because of the
possibility of poisoning attempts. I figured that I could try this one time with Yoojin and if it
was poisoned, I would just spit it out.” That had Yoojin freeze in shock, food hanging in the
air near his mouth. “Don’t worry, I didn’t taste any poisons, but I do want to get closer to
Yoojin. Should I come here again and cook for my lovely civilian?”

Oh shit, this was bad. Yoojin wanted Hyunjae’s attention to be a passing fancy, not a regular
occurrence. Also, why the hell was a S rank offering to cook for him? The difference in status
was so large it was ridiculous. If anything, he should have been the one offering. Either way,
Yoojin had to chase Hyunjae off after today. It would be alright; he had a plan.

“Sorry guild leader, I don’t sleep with people more than once and I don’t keep in contact with
them afterwards. I made a promise that if I did sleep with someone twice it would be because
we would be in a relationship.” This was actually true, because Yoojin knew he couldn’t get
attached to people properly. At the time he had thought Yoohyun abandoning him was his
fault for being trash and thought he would also destroy other relationships.

Yoojin knew better now why Yoohyun left, but it didn’t change the fact that he was trash
enough for his little brother to not rely on him in his time of need. Any romantic attachment
he had towards people would be one sided, so it was best to self-regulate, Yoojin didn’t need
another heartbreak. He would keep the rule, in order to focus on Yoohyun and the baby.

Luckily, his words seemed to be effective, and Hyunjae backed down. “I see, well if that is
what Yoojin wants then I can’t object. I’m not interested in a relationship,” He reached over
the table to grab Yoojin’s hand. “So I guess I will just have to take all I can from you today.”

He shivered. Well, that was a terrifying sentence to hear, but if Hyunjae left after today he
would take the strain his body would go through. The bastard would be mindful enough to
not be too hard on Yoojin’s body, hopefully. It would also be the first time he slept with
someone while not having a ‘fever’, but it couldn’t be so different. He just had to survive
today.

“Take all you can Sunbae, I don’t mind. Just remember that my body is not nearly as sturdy
as yours. Just let me empty my plate, it shouldn't take long.” Hyunjae was already done with
his meal, but Yoojin still had a few bites left.

The moment he set his chopsticks on his plate, he was grabbed and shifted onto Hyunjae’s
lap. Yoojin normally would have struggled, but the mint and lavender scent he inhaled had a
nice calming effect. He wanted to take what he desired from Hyunjae as well. After all, he
wouldn’t be sleeping with the man a second time.

Hyunjae cupped Yoojin’s face with both hands to kiss him thoroughly. Damn, did the bastard
retain muscle memory from the past? It felt smoother than the first time. Wait, did that mean
that Hyunjae wasn’t lying when he revealed that he hadn’t been with anyone before? He was
S rank, once should be enough for him to learn. He was already great the first time, but at this
moment he was better than his past self. Yoojin didn’t know how he should feel about being
Sung Hyunjae’s first time twice now.
(There was a small part of him that was extremely pleased and smug. Yoojin would not be
paying attention to it.)

The kisses were addictive, and Yoojin decided to run his hand through Hyunjae’s hair. It was
unfair how thick and soft to the touch it was, but it was a great decision since it prompted
Hyunjae to pull on his hair lightly. It was satisfying, but Yoojin needed more. He thrust his
hips to grind down, feeling the size of Hyunjae’s half hard length.

Hyunjae inhaled in surprise but was quick on the uptake. “I see our dear passerby is a bit
impatient. Well, who am I to deny you?” He thrust upwards while pulling Yoojin down,
causing Yoojin to gasp at the stimulation. He grasped at Hyunjae’s shoulders weakly.

“H-hey if you keep this up it will be over quickly.” Hyunjae thrusted again. “Ah! What did I
just say? You want to end it now?!”

Hyunjae bit at his collarbone leaving a bright red mark, the jerk. “As if I would stop at just
once, when I’m enjoying myself this much. Yoojin will be awake for the rest of the night if
it’s the last thing I do.” He sealed his statement with a final thrust and a hard bite at Yoojin’s
neck.

The sensation of the bite along with the grinding pushed Yoojin off the edge and he came as
he trembled. But two could play at this game. He shoved Hyunjae’s pants down and started to
pump his cock quickly. He could hear the stifled gasp and leaned back to appreciate the view
of a rumpled Hyunjae. Hair messy from when Yoojin ran his hand through it, shirt and pants
wrinkled from his touch, with his face tense with an unknown emotion.

He smirked at the sight, knowing Hyunjae was close to release. “It goes both ways, dear
guild leader.” Yoojin leaned forward to whisper in his ear. “You’re mine tonight.” He then bit
the section of neck that was calling his name. An eye for eye, as it should be. Sure, an F rank
couldn’t do any damage, but the bite was exhilarating in a way he couldn’t describe. It felt as
if he actually left a mark. Today, Sung Hyunjae was his and no one else's.

Mine. Yours. Forever.

Yoojin was distracted from his (frightening) thoughts by Hyunjae cumming into his hand. The
man had shuddered a bit before quickly composing himself and the look he gave Yoojin was a
bit terrifying. However, his desire just made him all the more attractive. Yes, an S rank
needing him like this was wonderful.

“Lovely Yoojin, I think you managed to actually leave a mark on me. How can our dear
civilian be so strong?”

He startled. “What? How could I actually hurt you in any capacity? Wait, my teeth didn’t
hurt when I bit you, but I thought it was just because I didn’t bite hard enough.”

Hyunjae pointed to his neck, the outline of Yoojin’s bite obvious and a bit bloody. “I actually
sensed your teeth and could have tensed to stop it, but I was curious on how you were able to
put any pressure with that small mouth of yours. I want to test it out some more. You won’t
stop me, won’t you? Lovely Yoojin who has marked me.”
Well, he would have fought if not for the fact there was part of him thrilled by the picture of
Hyunjae marked with his bite. With how happy he was from it, he probably held some of the
blame for this phenomenon. But the bastard didn’t need to know that.

“Oh? But all I did was have us match, no? Look here-” He gestured to the bite Hyunjae left
on his own neck. “I was repaying my lovely gift. But since I am a kind soul, I am gracious
enough to allow you some experimentation.”

This led to the two of them moving to the bedroom and trying many different bites on each
other as they made good on their promise of going through the night. Obviously Hyunjae was
able to accomplish every bite he tried, but Yoojin could only affect a specific area on his
neck. Yoojin passed out around the early morning, fucked out with marks all over him. It
turned out sex without a fever was definitely different.

They slept until around noon, with Yoojin waking up to a pounding on his door. He groaned,
turning in his bed to see that Hyunjae was still there, sitting up and looking down at him. The
asshole smiled as if he didn’t kill his back.

“Oh Yoojin, I recommend you get changed quickly. Your brother has been pounding on the
door for about a minute now, and he seems like he will take drastic measures soon. How odd,
he sounds eerily similar to Han Yoohyun. You wouldn’t happen to know him would you?”

Well shit. This wasn’t going to end well. Why was Yoohyun here? Yoojin scrambled to get
changed. He didn’t want his brother knocking down the door, which seemed a real possibility.

“Coming Yoohyun! Don’t knock down the door if you’re not going to pay for the
replacement!”

This was obviously a mistake, since Yoohyun immediately blew the door open while he only
managed to get his pants on.

“Hyung! I’ve been calling you for ages! Why did it take you so long to an- WHY IS SUNG
HYUNJAE IN YOUR BED? DID HE LEAVE THOSE MARKS ON YOU?”

Yoojin saw the murderous glares Yoohyun gave Hyunjae and resigned himself to his fate of
his private life bad decisions being in full view. Hyunjae decided to make it worse and
wrapped his arms around him from behind while still buck naked. Yoojin hated himself a little
from the way he leaned back into the touch almost immediately.

“Dear, I didn’t know I would have to persuade your brother in order to date you or I would
have treated him better. You’ll give me some leeway, won’t you?”

Yoohyun was steaming, but was obviously holding himself back for Yoojin, the sweetheart. He
was about to shut Hyunjae down, before he noticed the lack of warmth in his stomach he was
so familiar with. He wasn’t pregnant.

Fuck.

nothing will change either way lol. First chapter took me like 3 days last time too so I'm
just inconsistent. I just wanted to end the chapter here and get something out lol. Hope
you enjoy!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin was still in shock from not being pregnant and his plans were falling apart around
him. He was so distracted that he almost missed Yoohyun inching closer. He had to make
sure his brother didn’t get in trouble with Hyunjae. He was a guild leader and Seseong could
make his life harder if things went wrong. Yoojin also had to admit that he would have to
date the bastard now and he didn’t want them on awful terms the entire time.

“Yoohyun, don’t do anything rash. Everything here was consensual I promise. I don’t want
you getting into trouble.” He turned his head to glare at Hyunjae. “And stop provoking my
baby brother, aren't you an adult? I only date adults just so you know. People who act like
children are off limits of course.”

Yoohyun was quick to catch on. “Hyung! Surely you don't plan to actually date this bastard,
right? What if he wants to hurt you seriously and you can’t protect yourself! Just look at all
the bruises he left!”

Hyunjae seemed mildly offended at the last remark. “I would never hurt dear Yoojin more
than what you see here. I treat my items quite well, you know.”

“Hyung isn’t an item!” Yoohyun looked close to bursting.

“No, it seems that he is an owner instead.” He briefly kissed Yoojin’s cheek, to Yoohyun’s
annoyance. “And dear, I am very much an adult, as you know, but I like to have my fun when
I can. Can’t you forgive me, hm?

If Yoojin gave Hyunjae an inch he would take a mile, he could sense it. “Only good adults are
attractive, don’t you know? No teasing my brother. I’ll let you mess with people I don’t care
about, but you’re on thin ice.” He gave Yoohyun a pleading glance. “Could you give us some
privacy please? You haven’t talked to me in years and I don’t want my brother to see me like
this, especially after all this time. We’ll talk soon as I’m done, I promise. Ok?”

Yoohyun grumbled, but left. It pleased Yoojin that his brother still listened well to his hyung.
He didn’t notice his fond smile, but evidently Hyunjae did. “Dear Yoojin loves his brother a
lot huh. I guess I will have to settle on number two in your heart. If I got rid of him could I
become number one?”

Yoojin turned cold and stiff immediately, and wretched himself out of Hyunjae’s hold to snarl
at him. “The moment you lay a hand on my brother is the day I rip out your throat with my
teeth. We just found I could actually injure you somehow. I wouldn’t hesitate to use that to
my advantage. Even if that didn't work, I would find a way to end you. Don't touch him."

Hyunjae only hummed, an interested smile on his face. “Of course, I will do what you say. I
want to be able to date my dear Yoojin happily after all.” He stepped closer to grab Yoojin’s
shoulders. “Lovely Yoojin is accepting my offer of courtship, surely? I wouldn’t let anyone
other than my partner threaten me like that. Forgive my lack of patience, it’s my pride of an S
rank.”

Yoojin scowled. “Put some clothes on before you keep talking. It’s unsightly in the morning.”

Hyunjae pouted. “Oh? But you enjoyed this body of mine thoroughly last night, didn’t you? I
think it’s rather an advantage for me.”

He wasn’t wrong, Yoojin remembered the way he had fun with most of Hyunjae’s toned
body. Muscles were not to be wasted. He blushed at the memory of everything he did. But
that was that and this was this.

He sighed. “Sex is one thing, but I don’t want get threats to make me date you when you’re
stark naked in my bedroom. It’s ridiculous and I won’t stand for it. “

Hyunjae nodded in acquiescence and started changing. “Whatever dear Yoojin says. I’m
determined to date you no matter what, after all.”

And what a surprise that was. Yoojin didn’t know how many times he would need to sleep
with Hyunjae to get pregnant, but apparently more than once was the minimum this time. He
would need all the tries he could get, so dating was the best choice. He didn’t have to like it
though.

“Why do you even want to date me? I couldn’t have been so good that our strong guild leader
was seduced by me. What do you have to gain?”

“Why, I can gain lovely Yoojin! I was properly seduced; I can assure you. If you want a
different answer, it’s not much better. For you see-” Hyunjae leaned forward to whisper in his
ear. “I am simply captivated by you. So interested in you that I want to care for you and see
what else you can do. Won’t you show me?”

Yoojin observed the hand Hyunjae was using to subconsciously rub at his bite, as if he
wanted to claim him again. Well, they didn’t have the time for that. He gently pushed at
Hyunjae, telling him to step back.

“I will have boundaries, some that will fade and others that will never waver. You can’t cross
them. You can’t hurt the people I care for and if circumstances cause necessary action to be
done- we will deal with it then. I do not have money to spend on you at the moment, but I
 will do my best to not rely on you for everything.” Yoojin smirked, cupping Hyunjae’s face
with his left hand. “And I promise to do my worst and give a show worth watching. I shall
care for you as well, so treat me gently please.”

Hyunjae grinned, the bastard knew he had won. He pulled Yoojin into his arms. “I will treat
my partner with great care. But I have things to do, so I will leave with longing for dear
Yoojin all the while.” He kissed Yoojin softly. “I will have to use that to tide me over in the
meantime.”

Yoojin was a little dazed from the gentle affection, but he quickly pulled himself together.
“Don’t forget to give your partner your phone number, unless you somehow have become all
knowing.”
Hyunjae smirked as practically skipped out the door, calling out before he disappeared.
“Check your phone dear!”

Yoojin grabbed his phone and checked the contacts. Right at the top in the favorites category
was the name “My Partner♥️^^”. He couldn't help but let out a surprised chuckle. The bastard
sure liked to be ridiculous.

He then heard Yoohyun calling for him. “Hyung! Sung Hyunjae left so we can talk now,
right? Why was he in the house? Hyung!”

He sighed as he walked to where he left Yoohyun. He couldn’t avoid the topic anymore.

Time to face the music.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoohyun was sitting stiffly on the couch, hands clasped in his lap. His face tensed in a frown.
But the familiar grumpy expression almost made Yoojin dissolve into tears immediately. He
had been able to avoid thinking about his brother with the whirlwind of Sung Hyunjae, but
the bastard was gone now. All he could remember was his brother bloody, his corpse still
warm in his arms.

But here he was. Alive. Making the silly faces he made as a kid. Yoohyun was here. He ran to
his baby brother and hugged him with all his strength. He could hear Yoohyun making
confused noises, but frankly Yoojin didn’t care. He could feel his brother’s breaths, his proof
of life. But. Maybe he was injured.

Yoojin wasn’t sure what exactly Yoohyun was up to right now. Anything was possible. He
leaned back and started patting his brother all over, asking if he was hurt anywhere. Yoohyun
looked a bit disgruntled but also quietly pleased. Yoojin was reassured that there were no
injuries to be found.

“Hyung! I haven’t done anything that could hurt me, don’t worry.” He scowled. “What I
really want to talk about is why you let Sung Hyunjae into the house. Don’t you know better?
He’s dangerous! I was told today that there was a possibility he was here and I came
immediately. I knew you didn't care who you slept with, but that bastard is a step too far.”
Yoohyun ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “I can’t believe you were so careless!”

Yoohyun wasn’t the only frustrated one.

“Oh, was I supposed to somehow turn him down?” He let go of Yoohyun to pace around the
room. “Even if I wanted to, what power did I have to refuse him? I was depressed because
my precious brother had decided he hated me and ran away from home for three years!
YEARS! I needed someone who wanted me. What right do you have to interfere when you
didn’t even let me contact you? Yoohyun, you were my everything, how was I supposed to live
without you?”

Yoojin could sense his tears starting to form, but he couldn’t stop them from falling. He
believed every single word out of his mouth. Yoohyun seemed frozen by the unexpected sight
of his tears, Yoojin had never let himself fall apart like this during their arguments until now.

“Even if you were going through a hard time, that’s when you were supposed to rely on me
the most. Was I such a bad brother that you couldn’t trust me? You’re only twenty now, and
you left when you were even younger!” He collapsed into a crouch on the floor, covering his
face. “When you left, I was so worried. You’ve always been the person I cared for the most.”
My child. “And when you left you took my heart with me.”

Apparently, Yoohyun recovered from his frozen position on the couch and tried to comfort
Yoojin. “Hyung. I’m sorry. I only wanted to protect you from everyone after me.” Yoojin
could feel Yoohyun's tears landing on his hand. It seemed that both of them were sympathy
criers. “I was going to take care of everything and come back in five years.”

Hah. Yoojin knew how true that was. He had the past eight years to prove it.

He scoffed. “Liar.”

Yoohyun protested. “I’m not! I don’t think I could stay away from you any longer than that!
Hyung raised me! Hyung is my d-guardian! I just wanted you to live happily and out of
danger!”

Yoojin looked up and watched Yoohyun’s crying face. His poor brother was too kind. He
didn’t deserve Yoojin yelling at him. But he wasn’t alright enough to have a calm
conversation. He had lost too much. Yoohyun. His baby.

While Yoohyun was gone, Yoojin’s baby was his savior. He would constantly chatter at them,
telling stories and anything that came to mind. He remembered he especially loved telling
them the keyword whenever they were fussing. Baby, hang in there! It always calmed them
down. His baby gave Yoojin a purpose, which he had lost the moment Yoohyun left. They
were his hope.

And now they were gone. Yoojin would make sure to get them again, but his first plan was a
failure. He would have to wait to get his baby back. He couldn't give up on Yoohyun and
didn't regret his decision, but now with Hyunjae gone Yoojin felt his loneliness suffocating
him.

Yoohyun was here and yet it was as if he was oceans away. Yoojin didn’t want to fight like
this, but he was bitter that his ‘bad decision’ of sleeping with Hyunjae was the only reason he
could get his brother to come back. He saw Yoohyun’s memories and knew he cared, but at
the end of the day his brother was able to leave him. It was something Yoojin could never do.

It felt as if they would never be as close as they used to. The thought brought Yoojin’s mood to
rock bottom.

“Do you think I could have lived happily without you? I don’t want to get mad at you, but you
don’t get it! You’re the reason life was worth living! My lovely brother who made every day
brighter with his presence.” Yoojin’s head dropped back down. “But I guess I always needed
you more than you needed me.”
Yoohyun grabbed his shoulders and softly shook him. “No! Hyung I always needed you the
most! Do you understand how much I’m holding back for you? If you want, I can show you
how much I care. You’d hate it. You would stay in my house for years until I made sure you
were safe at all times. I know you, you like being social. You’d hate being with just me.”

“Yoohyun, it’s not a matter of the way you show your care, but that you’re all or nothing.
Why is it isolating me or abandoning me? I love your company the most, so of course I want
you to keep in contact. Couldn’t you have called? Explained your plan? I’m the older brother,
you shouldn’t have had to shoulder these kinds of decisions. You’re young, so you don’t know
all the different ways to deal with problems.”

Yoojin unfurled from his crouch to grab Yoohyun’s shoulders.

“You only come to yell at me, how am I supposed to think you see me? All this time I
thought the person I adored the most despised me. Let me help you. Rely on me. I want to be
close like we were before. I don’t want to lose you Yoohyun.”

Yoojin felt close to sobbing with how hard his tears were falling. Really, he was such a trash
brother, no wonder Yoohyun couldn’t confide in him. He couldn't even try to reconcile without
a breakdown. But if he lost Yoohyun, he truly would have nothing. He cried harder with just
the thought of losing Yoohyun again. His brother looked lost; he wasn’t used to comforting
Yoojin. It was never necessary. Yoohyun reached out to pull him close in a breathtaking hug.
Yoojin gripped back tightly, needing the comfort.

“Hyung, I’m sorry. I was wrong, please stop crying. I’ll rely on you more and keep in
contact. I hate to see you suffering like this. I love you.”

The phrase was like magic, Yoojin hadn’t heard those words from his brother since he left.
They made him warm and delighted enough that he thought he might be able to purr in
satisfaction. He hadn’t realized how much he needed the audible confirmation his brother
loved him. He sighed in relief as he released all the tension in his body and melted into his
brother’s embrace

“I love you too Yoohyun. So much. I’m also sorry for not handling things properly, so let’s
put these bad years behind us.”

Yoohyun nodded and Yoojin would have relished their hug more if he didn’t notice the screen
in front of his eyes.

HAN YOOJIN HAS BEEN REGISTERED AS AN AWAKENED!

Hm. Well that was a surprise. Now how was he supposed to tell Yoohyun-

Yoohyun leaned back to stare at Yoojin.

“You know we still have to talk about Sung Hyunjae right?”

He paled, knowing how much more Yoohyun would worry now that he was an awakened.
Especially since Yoojin planned to inform him of his decision of dating Hyunjae seriously. He
 might seriously get locked inside the house out of worry.

How was he going to get out of this?

Chapter End Notes

OKAY SO TECHNICALLY YOOJIN IS AN ADULT AND SHOULDN'T YELL AT

YOOHYUN WHO HE CONSIDERS HIS KID. But consider. He deserves to. I feel like
Yoohyun was important enough to him that these were all thoughts he had but he didn't
have the downtime to have a proper breakdown in front of his brother in canon. Next
chapter: Time to give Yoohyun the news lol
 Hello, Explanation
Chapter Notes

PHEW. Finally done! I like posting short chapters like this. Back to my roots lol. Hope
you enjoy the chapter! Please read the end notes this chapter! I have a question to ask
readers.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin knew he couldn’t lie to Yoohyun. He also couldn’t tell him everything immediately.
His brother would get too stressed and make the same kind of ridiculous decision he did
when he awakened. Last time he left Yoojin, this time he might make good on his threat of
locking him away for safety. Yoohyun needed to be eased into accepting that Yoojin wasn’t a
target most people cared about.

Yoojin reluctantly removed himself out of Yoohyun’s arms and sat on the couch, patting the
seat beside him.

“I think we need to have this conversation on the couch, ok? The floor isn't a great place to
have genuine family talks. One discussion there was enough.”

Yoohyun eagerly hurried to his spot, nodding in agreement. “No more floor talks.”

Yoojin took a big breath. He had to be clear. They couldn’t go on like they used to if they
wanted to have a solid relationship.

“Yoohyun, I want you to know that I will never lie to you, but I won’t always tell you
everything. You worry a lot, and I don’t trust you enough to not make a rash decision. Just
know you’re the person I believe in the most, ok? Trust is a two-way street, so I’ll be upfront
when I won’t inform you about something. But that means I want you to be honest as well.
Make your boundaries on what you want to say, but don’t lie to me. Never again. Alright?”

Yoohyun quickly shook his head in agreement. “Yes. Whatever you say Hyung.”

Now, which news should he start with? Yoojin had to think properly. Ease Yoohyun into the
worst of it or give him a big problem that would distract him from the second one.
Awakening was probably a bigger issue, so it would be better to save it for later. Yoojin could
only give his brother so much stress at a time. Plus, Yoohyun was a worrywart. If they solved
the Hyunjae issue well it would reassure him that Yoojin knew what he was doing.

Hyunjae it was. “So I know you think staying with Sung Hyunjae is dangerous, but I
disagree.” He held out a hand to stop Yoohyun’s protests. “Let me explain. You were worried
that people would try to hurt me to get to you right? What if they thought hurting me would
upset the leader of the number one guild of Korea? Sure, I’d have more eyes on me, but Sung
Hyunjae has the resources to keep me safe. With you as my brother and his own popularity,
he wouldn’t be able to hide any nefarious actions either.”

Yoohyun had settled down but was still uncertain about the idea. “But Hyung, what if he
decided to hurt you? You wouldn’t be able to protect yourself. I could prove he was guilty,
but if you’re gone what’s the point? You being alive is what keeps me going.”

Yoojin couldn’t give in to Yoohyun, but the puppy eyes he was receiving were dangerous.
Why was his brother so cute? He had to give in to his urge to ruffle his hair.

“Aw, I love you too Yoohyun. I don’t want to worry you, but I also am serious about dating
Hyunjae. How about for now every time I meet him in person, I get a chaperone who can
protect me until I have a way to protect myself. That way he can’t get rid of me. Does that
work?”

Yoohyun frowned but nodded. “That does make me feel better, but I don’t get why you want
to date that bastard in the first place. Hyung, you could do so much better than him! What
about him made you decide to give him a chance?”

Yoojin rubbed his chin as he thought about it. It was a question he should give serious
thought. He needed his baby back, but that wasn’t the only reason. He could feel it, a part of
him telling him to take the chance in front of him. He had liked the way Hyunjae looked at
him ever since they first met. Yoojin hadn’t been lying when he told Yoohyun that he enjoyed
knowing he was desired.

Every stare Hyunjae gave him made him feel seen. Yoojin could hide none of his flaws from
him, but he was wanted all the same. He could rely on Hyunjae, a fellow adult who could
identify his struggles and stand with him.

Hyunjae simply gave him hope. To get his baby back, to not mess up a second time with his
brother. To never be alone again. He needed to see where their relationship led. They barely
knew each other; but every time Yoojin thought of Hyunjae his body warmed with emotions
he couldn’t identify.

But Yoohyun didn’t need all that.

“He made me feel safe.”

Yoojin chuckled as Yoohyun turned towards him incredulously. “I’m serious! Despite the
power difference, it was as if I could be in charge whenever I decided to.” He wasn’t
remembering the teacher roleplay. He wasn’t remembering the teacher roleplay. “I genuinely
felt cared for and cherished. I’m not used to that kind of sincerity. It’s lovely.”

He smiled softly as he uttered his final line.

“I think I could start a family with him.”

Yoohyun flinched back as if he was hit. Yoojin knew why. For most of their lives, their only
family was each other. Yoohyun never considered expanding. But he knew Yoojin did.
 Yoojin knew his brother was enough. But Yoohyun couldn’t be around all the time. Yoohyun
also knew this and of Yoojin’s desire to have a lively house. He had talked about his dream of
having a big family when they were smaller, rambling about how Yoohyun could stay over
whenever because he was his brother and family was always welcome.

But Yoojin had high standards for his ideal family partner. Yoohyun had heard the extensive
vetting process. This sentence alone told Yoohyun that Yoojin was serious about Hyunjae.

Yoohyun groaned with a smile on his face as he sunk into the couch.

“Well, I guess the minimum for any partner of yours was that they made you smile like that.
Hyung, I’ll make sure that bastard treats you with the respect you deserve. You tell him he’ll
only get my blessing if he’s on his best behavior for you. I’m always on your side, Hyung.”

Yoojin grinned, reaching out to hug Yoohyun.

“I love you Yoohyun. But I still have something to talk about. It just happened when we
reconciled so we are going to have to figure it out together.”

Yoojin let go of Yoohyun and sat back as he scratched his head.

“It seems like I have become an awakened.”

“WHAT”

Chapter End Notes

OKAY SO. I am genuinely considering changing the keyword into "I love you too"
instead of "I love you." This was unplanned but the way I wrote the argument set that up
perfectly. I think it would be funny to have to use it that way, but also makes it less
emotional than it used to be. If no one stops me I WILL change it but I'll keep it the
same if someone stops me lol. Comment your opinion if you care! Hope you all liked
the chapter!
 Hello, Phone Call
Chapter Notes

WOOOOOO NEW CHAPTER! Also a short one but I like updating regularly lol. Hope
you all enjoy!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoohyun jumped up to pace around the room in worry. “Hyung! Sung Hyunjae is dangerous
enough, but now this happens? You were safer out of the awakening world!”

Yoojin quickly tried to placate his brother. “Don’t worry too much! I haven’t checked my
skills yet, but anything that could put me in danger I can hide. I won't register with my full
strength anyway, it’s best to keep a few things hidden. Here, let me look through them and I
can tell you the parts we need to deal with or that you should know. “

He opened his status window, checking what was the same and what was different. Yoojin
had some high-class skills, but the worst part was that he was still an F rank. Honestly, they
would have been more useful if he could have given them Yoohyun. It was good to see he did
keep some rewards from defeating the Lauchitas, but they were annoyingly specific. Yoojin
thought he might be an overly fancy specialized kitchen tool. Like a watermelon cube scoop
when you could just use a knife.

But he did have a few new skills that would be useful. Being able to see a person’s potential
class paired nicely with his growth buff, but it seemed like his keyword had changed from
‘hang in there’.

Yoojin groaned and put his head in his hands. He briefly ignored Yoohyun’s worried
questions. Fate was truly cruel. Why would his keyword change to “I love you too”? It was
trickier to pull off than a simple confession, since at times it wouldn’t seem genuine. He had
to get close enough to the person emotionally for them to be influenced. It was a disaster
waiting to happen.

Well, Yoojiin wasn’t planning on saving the world, but it would have been nice to be able to
help Yoohyun. But he wouldn’t be as helpless as he was in the past. He had Hyunjae and
Yoohyun now, and he could find others with the power to protect him that would have gotten
lost otherwise. Though he still needed to tell Yoohyun his skills.

He finally bit the bullet and revealed his abilities with their full power and his title, making
sure to leave out his “My Little One’s the Best” and related skills. Yoohyun almost had a
meltdown from the information and Yoojin did his best to comfort him. He told Yoohyun his
plan on how he would present himself, how he would hide, and his plan on how to help his
brother with all he was capable of.
Yoohyun still looked apprehensive, but he wasn’t on the verge of hyperventilating like he was
before.

“Hyung, I know you won’t disclose your skills actual rating, but people might find out how
good your skills are. I don’t know if I could protect you enough with just my own power.
Can’t you just keep your awakening a secret?”

Yoojin smiled fondly. “Yoohyun, you have to know I want to help you as much as I can. Sure,
I could stay a civilian to the outside world, but as you said I could get found out. Better to not
get a proper exam and just register with my lower stats. Plus, you won’t be protecting me by
yourself. As you know I have a very powerful acquaintance.”

Yoohyun seemed confused until Yoojin took out his phone. He lunged to grab it, but the call
had already been accepted.

“Hello dear, what made you call so soon after I left? Miss me already?”

Yoojin scoffed but laughed a bit as he put the call on speaker.

“It hasn’t even been two hours yet, how could I miss you? I simply had to give you an
update, since I like to keep things exciting for my poor S rank who’s constantly bored.”

Hyunjae laughed and Yoojin ignored the disgusted look Yoohyun sported.

“I have awakened as an F class after reconciling with my brother, but we couldn’t resolve one
issue. Many of the skills I will be downplaying could be found out by others, so I think we
should distract the people with other news. Don’t you think it would be fun?”

Yoojin could hear the smile in Hyunjae’s voice.

“Oh dear, it seems like I missed a good time! How tragic. And darling are you implying that
you’d like to make our relationship a little more public? How daring. What’s in it for me?”

He made sure Hyunjae could hear the smirk in his voice.

“Dear, as you know I’ve come to an agreement with my brother. However, part of this is that
I won’t meet you without a chaperone until I have a way to protect myself as a weak F rank.
So, our only options to meet are to find an S rank defensive item I can use with my little
mana or meeting in public. Getting publicity would be a nice excuse to meet up, don’t you
agree?”

Hyunjae sighed fondly. “Dear, you wound me. How could I not get any alone time with you?
Do I have to find a dungeon with defensive items? You’ll need an S rank chaperone, and I’m
sure Yoohyun doesn’t have free time. How will I get to see you? Though I can get us a
chaperone, it might take a bit of time.”

Yoojin held in a laugh as he continued.

“Oh? I’m glad we have a solution for that issue. In the meantime, I had an idea on how we
could reveal our relationship and spend some quality time together. Have you ever heard of
 Hi Hello Romance?”

He ignored Yoohyun sputtering in surprise.

“It’s a reality TV show where the featured couple does various things to get closer or maybe
find out they’re not suited to each other. Each couple gets several episodes at least but can
extend depending on how popular they are. You wouldn’t have to stay there the entire time,
so you could still get your work done and go to the dungeons you needed to.”

Hyunjae hummed before replying. "I have never watched it, but I don’t think they have an S
rank guard on hand. My lovely partner has a solution to this problem, right? I don’t think I’ll
stay still if I’m separated from you for too long.”

Yoojin smiled coyly, hoping it was audible in his voice.

“Don’t you think certain government S rank agent would worry over an F rank dating an S
rank? Enough that if I personally requested the protection they would volunteer?”

He could clearly hear Hyunjae’s bright and excited laughter.

“Yoojin, my dear, you truly have my heart. How may I be of service?”

people liked the idea! I left it up to the comments bc it makes more work for me to

 Hello, Bodyguard
Chapter Notes

6 DAYS SIX UPDATES WOOOO. This is a slower chapter but things should start up
next chapter!!! Hope you enjoy!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin quickly explained the plan to Hyunjae, so they could join the show within a week. It
wouldn't be difficult. A famous S rank asking to appear on the show to specifically reveal
their relationship was publicity anyone in entertainment drooled over. They would have
found a way to fit Hyunjae into the show even if he wasn't dating someone.

Only a few S ranks catered to the public and Sung Hyunjae only revealed what he decided
people should know. Which when it came to his personal life, was basically nothing. He
never had a scandal until he disappeared before the regression, and by then any speculation
couldn't be confirmed.

All in all, the public would be absolutely obsessed with any scraps of information Hyunaje
gave them. And soon they would be receiving a feast. It would allow Yoojin to be introduced
as 'Sung Hyunjae's partner' instead of 'Han Yoohyun’s brother'. The media did always prefer
to focus on the individual who they saw as stronger. Though he hated to admit it, Seseong
wasn't the top guild in Korea for nothing.

Of course Yoohyun was the strongest in his heart, but he needed time to grow both physically
and politically. As of now, Yoojin would be seen as a boyfriend rather than a brother. It was
annoying, but it put less stress on Yoohyun, since most masterminds would think twice about
pissing Hyunjae off. The public being able to recognize him would also stop attacks in the
open since people would notice.

Though he’d never admit it, Yoojin was a bit nervous about appearing on television. He has
never had a single good media experience in the past and being the scum of Korea was not
ideal. Or fun. He couldn’t tell if Hyunjae’s popularity would keep him safe from haters, or if
people would antagonize him because Yoojin was dating him. It would be up to fate to
decide.

But that was a problem for future Yoojin. After finishing his call with Hyunjae, it took a few
days, but he got a call from the producers to confirm things for his part of the show. A lot of
it was repetitive, but he understood their caution. He and Hyunjae would sign the proper
documents once arriving for the show, but the producers still had to have a general idea on
what they were working with.
At times it took all his restraint to keep himself from laughing, like when they realized he
was a man. The way they lost their composure was quite hilarious. It seemed like Hyunjae
either hadn’t informed them of Yoojin’s gender or when he did they thought they were
mishearing.

Korea got more accepting of the LBGT+ community after the dungeons appeared, but it still
wasn't talked about much. The idea that Yoojin could make an impact and normalize the
concept did give him confidence for his upcoming television appearance. Even if the public
hated him, he’d be helping someone who was struggling on their own.

In the end the process went smoothly, with Yoojin and Hyunjae scheduled to arrive on set in
two days. The producers had fast tracked everything so the news couldn’t leak before their
appearance. The timing had worked well since the previous couple had just broken up and the
fans were ready to be introduced to a couple who were still in their honeymoon phase.

Yoojin made sure to request the S rank chaperone, knowing he had to do his part. He claimed
that a reality show might rile up his partner, but Hyunjae had thought ahead and mentioned to
the crew that he didn’t want to injure his partner even by accident. According to the
producers, he gave an extremely moving speech on how he hoped to get closer to Yoojin
through the show but didn’t want his romantic overtures to accidentally go too far. He offered
to pay for any extra security and the crew managed to get Song Taewon in time to be their
chaperone for their entire time on set.

He was reassured that no matter what drama happened on the show wouldn’t endanger him
and Yoojin made sure to be properly grateful. The poor crew probably went crazy getting
everything ready while Yoojin was basically using their work for dates. But shame was for
people who weren’t desperate to achieve their goals and Yoojin needed his baby back. He
would do nearly anything to make it happen. A TV show was nothing.

The phone call ended soon after confirming security, but almost immediately afterwards,
Yoojin received a call from an unknown number. He answered quickly, always having a blast
listening to scam callers. They were amusing to mess with. It was a good way to release
tension without guilt.

“Hello? This is the Han residence. Who might be calling?”

Yoojin heard a throat clear before they spoke. “Hello, this is Song Taewon and I am looking
for Han Yoojin. Might you be him?”

Yoojin hummed, unable to decide if this was a prank call or not. “Why would the famous
Song Taewon call me? Are there ways to prove your words?”

Song Taewon sighed.

“I have nothing I could use to prove my identity quickly or over the phone, but this call
shouldn’t be too invasive. I just wanted to check in on you. You’re not feeling pressured by
Sung Hyunjae to be on the show, are you? Are you threatened by him at times? What can I do
to make you the most comfortable around him?”
 Yoojin smiled warmly. A spam caller wouldn’t have this information, only a certain soon to
be bodyguard. It was hard to find people genuinely concerned for him like this in the past. It
should be cherished.

“Thank you for your concern, but you really don’t have to worry about me. I was the one
who suggested going onto the show. I thought it would be a fun way to get closer to him.
Since my brother is protective, this was the solution I came up with. Hyunjae doesn’t frighten
me, but thanks to your presence I can be confident in facing him properly as his partner. I
truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Yoojin bowed in gratitude even though Song Taewon couldn’t see it.

“You’re not threatened by Sung Hyunjae… at all?”

Yoojin laughed at the obvious doubt in his voice. “You might not believe it, but he is quite
sweet to me. You’ll see it for yourself on the show.”

“...Alright. Please call this number if you need me. I’ll see you in two days.”

Song Taewon hung up before Yoojin could reply. He saved the number and speed dialed
Hyunjae.

“Dear! You’ll never guess who just called!”

Chapter End Notes

All done! Time to pass out lol. Hopefully be back tomorrow!

 Hello, Reality TV
Chapter Notes

PHEW JUST MADE IT! I was sooo close to falling asleep without finishing the chapter
lol. Hope you guys enjoy!!!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

The day Yoojin was set to film Hi Hello Romance, Song Taewon arrived at his apartment to
escort him. Apparently, he didn’t want to take chances if Yoojin came to the show early and
met Hyunaje without a bodyguard. Which was silly, since Song Taewon knew they were
already dating and so by default should assume they met without a bodyguard outside of the
show.

Nevermind that the former was the correct assumption, and Yoojin had hoped to get some
alone time with Hyunjae. It was ridiculous how easily his mood lifted when calling him, as if
he was experiencing happiness twice over. Even the ‘dear’ he had started using sarcastically
had become genuine the more he said it. Despite the daily phone conversations, Yoojin was
anxious to finally see Hyunjae in person again.

Once Yoojin arrived, it was easy to spot Hyunjae. He couldn’t help himself and quickly
sprinted to tackle him in a hug. Evidently, he had also missed Yoojin since he lifted him and
spun the both of them in a circle. Hyunjae was laughing as he set him down, but Yoojin
couldn't muster any annoyance. His handsome face was strong enough to forgive his silly
antics.

But Yoojin didn’t need to stay quiet about it.

“Dear, was the spin really necessary?”

Hyunjae smirked and tightened the hug. “Oh but darling, I was just excited to see you again.
Plus, I wasn’t the one who ran at my beloved. With an embrace that romantic, surely I get
some fun too? Especially with your new outfit.” He leaned back to slowly give Yoojin a once
over. “If you always look this nice in new clothes, maybe I should get you a few things. I
quite like the choker.”

He groaned and dropped his head onto Hyunjae’s chest. “Don’t remind me, I can’t believe I
actually missed you that much. These clothes are just hunter gear to raise my stats that
Yoohyun made me get as a precaution after I registered. It can’t be that great.”

Yoojin couldn’t see his face, but Hyunjae bent down to whisper in his ear. “I think you
underestimate yourself dear, I am very much appreciating the view. I also missed you terribly,
love.” He then straightened and called out while Yoojin continued to hide his now red face in
his chest. “Song Taewon! My friend!”
As Hyunjae annoyed Taewon, Yoojin could hear the crew murmur about how they wished
they could have filmed the interaction. He was eternally grateful he hadn’t signed the
paperwork yet. He didn’t need more video evidence of his fondness of Hyunjae, the show
would be making plenty.

After all of them settled and the paperwork was signed, it was time to start. The host readied
herself in front of the camera with Yoojin and Hyunjae in chairs next to her. Song Taewon
stood behind the camera crew, ready to move at a moment's notice. With her signal, the show
was on.

“Good evening, and welcome to episode 48 of Hi Hello Romance! I’m your host, Park Jihyo,
and I get the honor of introducing our new couple! I think you will recognize one half of this
match: Sung Hyunjae, guild leader of Seseong. Next to him, we have his partner Han Yoojin!
He is not known to the world yet, but with this show I’m sure this will change soon. Could
we have a brief introduction from each of you?”

Yoojin bowed his head.

“I’m Han Yoojin, a recent awakened. I’m still figuring out my skills, but I don’t plan to let
Hyunjae walk all over me during the show. I like cute things, so I’m still trying to figure out
how Hyunjae seduced me. I’m honored to be here with a talented person like Park Jihyo
hosting.”

Jihyo laughed. “Thank you for the compliment!”

Hyunjae was next. Though he was forever a rude bastard and only leaned back to put his arm
around Yoojin, instead of any signs of respect. With all his power, it wasn’t necessary, but
manners were important. Yoojin’s pinch to his side in punishment went unignored

“I’m Sung Hyunjae, leader of Seseong guild. I met Yoojin before he was awakened and have
been hopelessly enamored with him ever since our first meeting. I’m excited to learn about
Yoojin and cement our relationship while filming.”

He leaned over to press a kiss onto Yoojin’s head, and he used all his mental strength to not
turn red from embarrassment.

Jihyo smiled softly. “I’m glad to see you two get along well. Now, I’ll ask you both a few
questions before I introduce our activity for this episode. Let’s start with Yoojin. You said
you prefer cute things, so what made you decide to date a person well known for their
intimidating and handsome figure?”

Yoojin laughed. “What a good question! Hyunjae said he was taken by me immediately, but I
took slightly longer than him. I liked the way he was sincerely interested in me. Despite my
flaws, he made it clear I didn’t need to change. I’m not used to that kind of attention. It made
me want to take a chance on him.”

She cooed. “Oh, how sweet! Hyunjae, what’s one major thing you like about Yoojin? Enough
that Yoojin could believe and trust your interest.”
 Hyunjae hummed in thought. “This is hard since Yoojin has many traits I adore, but one of
my favorites is his ability to stand up to me. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, so he keeps
the atmosphere lively.”

Jihyo gasped in surprise. “Really? I heard S ranks have a pretty scary aura when they want to.
Yoojin must be very brave."

She turned towards the camera.

"We will ask more questions later, but for now I'll announce the activity! It's called 'Trust
Me', where we give you a series of challenges where you have to rely on your partner! It is a
good way to get couples to rely on each other. We will see how our new couple measures
up!"

Yoojin nervously played with his hands. The activity didn't sound awful, but he was sure he'd
find a way to mess it up. Hyunjae reached out to grab his hand, keeping him still.

Yoojin exhaled to release his tension.

That's right. I'm not alone this time. We can do this. Together.

Chapter End Notes

Park Jihyo is my favorite idol in the group TWiCE but I won't get into her, I thought
didn't want an OC and she was an option I wouldn't bring a ship into lol. Speaking of
ships I'm planning on Myungwoo and Taewon becoming pretty close in my fic! Would
you guys mind if I made them a ship? I kind of really want to. And if I did should I
make them an alpha/omega pair? They wouldn't be Mpreg, but I thought Myungwoo
getting stronger but still being an omega would be nice. Hope you guys liked the

 Hello, Challenges
Chapter Notes

8 days 8 updates!!! Today is a good day! Hope you guys have fun with this chapter! I
sure did!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

After the camera and all the props were moved into place, the show quickly continued
filming. The chairs had been removed, and now everyone was standing.

Jihyo cheerfully waved to the camera. “Welcome to our segment, Trust Me! Today we have
three challenges for our new couple. Let’s see if they can trust each other or set the other up
to fail! The first challenge will have a blinded Yoojin go through a cone maze. Hyunjae will
give him directions, but if Yoojin hits the string connecting the cones, he will get a small
shock. He better trust his partner not to lead him astray!”

Yoojin sighed, of course he was the one who would get shocked. Why couldn’t it have been
the both of them? What was to stop Hyunjae from getting him shocked for fun?

Oh. That was the entire point of the exercise. But knowing that didn’t stop the fact that Sung
Hyunjae liked being a bastard for fun. At least they promised small shocks.

Yoojin was put in a blindfold and a bracelet that would give him the shocks. After being spun
around three times, he was ready to go with Hyunjae waiting on the other side.

It actually went quite smoothly, with Yoojin not getting shocked a single time. There was
almost no tension, since Yoojin was able to quickly pick up the fact that Hyunjae was giving
him genuine directions. He had asked him to take a sample step to calculate properly, told
him specific directions such as taking half his normal stride, and the like.

The lack of drama made it so Jihyo had to keep asking questions as Yoojin went through the
maze.

“Hyunjae, how long have you been dating Yoojin?”

He answered immediately. “About a week, give or take a few days.”

“But didn’t you apply to Hi Hello Romance about a week ago?” Jihyo sounded confused.

“Yes.”

Yoojin was exceedingly grateful he didn’t have to see Jihyo’s face during that conversation.
He had forgotten how crazy the both of them were in terms of relationships. He and Hyunjae
had literally applied to a dating show the day they decided to date. Their first meeting also
only added an extra day to their relationship timeline. Yoojin had forgotten in his
companionship with Hyunjae that the familiarity they had with each other usually took more
time to develop.

But Yoojin just knew certain things about him. He knew that Hyunjae liked their phone calls,
that he enjoyed using pet names, and that he was infatuated with Yoojin. He could simply tell
when Hyunjae was being sincere.

Yoojin also knew Hyunjae was the same. He knew that Yoojin had used the pet names for fun
until he started to mean them, that he got a feeling of safety when Hyunjae touched him, and
that Yoojin needed a phone call a day minimum or he couldn’t sleep.

He still couldn’t figure out how Hyunjae had known to call that day. But after being too antsy
to sleep the day after reconciling with Yoohyun, his phone had started to ring. Hyunjae had
claimed that he needed Yoojin’s voice to cheer him up, that he had an itchy sensation in the
back of his mind that he needed to forget with his partner’s voice. But as they talked Yoojin
had finally been relieved enough to go to bed and had ended up falling asleep in the middle
of their conversation. After that day, Hyunjae called at least once a day before going to bed.
He always claimed it was for his own gain, not Yoojin’s.

It was a bit strange. Yoojin wasn’t used to understanding someone this intimately and being
understood in return. But it had been so easy he had forgotten to think about it. It was a
mystery he shouldn’t brush aside, but he had bigger problems to focus on. The reason why he
and Hyunjae worked together seamlessly was lower on the priorities list.

Soon enough, Yoojin reached the end. Hyunjae had made him walk right up to him, so that he
could be grabbed and lifted into a princess carry. He would have complained, but Hyunjae
took his blindfold off quickly. And Yoojin did appreciate not getting shocked. He was curious
on what stopped Hyunjae though.

“Dear, why didn’t you get me shocked? You love that kind of harmless prank.”

Hyunjae made a grumpy face and almost seemed to growl. It was loud enough that Yoojin
could feel it throughout his body.

“I wasn’t the one with the control to give you the shock. I didn’t like the thought of someone
else having the power to give you the ‘punishment’. I should be the only one who can
directly mess with my darling.”

What a surprise. But Yoojin wasn’t one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Hyunjae not
wanting a stranger to influence him made sense. If a stranger had tried to do even a silly
punishment to Yoohyun, Yoojin would also object. But the growl made him curious.
Especially if he could make it happen again. He would save the thought for another day.
When they could finally meet at night again.

For now, he should encourage Hyunjae’s protectiveness.

Yoojin pulled down Hyunjae’s head to give him a long kiss. “Well I appreciate it. This is your
reward for your good behavior.”

Hyunjae gave him a bright smile. “I will endeavor to be on my best behavior then.”

Jihyo cleared her throat, reminding them there were still more activities to do. Yoojin
suddenly remembered that he was being carried in public with a camera on him, covering his
face in embarrassment.

“What are the chances of you not using that footage?”

She giggled. “Zero! It was a cute scene. When the episode airs, I’m sure the public will agree
with me. Now, I’ll explain the second activity! This time it will be Hyunjae suffering the
consequences of any mistakes! After all, it would be unfair if Yoojin was the only one who
put his trust to the test!”

The activity was simple, Hyunjae had to ‘put the tail on the donkey’ along with other body
parts while blindfolded and Yoojin gave him directions. However, if he missed, they had
slime to dump over him at a moment's notice.

It ended without consequence, though Hyunjae demanded a kiss for his success. It was easy
to oblige him.

Jihyo clapped her hands to bring attention to herself.

“You two are going strong! Now, we have our last activity. It is less trust focused and is more
oriented towards the couple's ideals. We will give both of you a series of problems and you
both will answer the way you would deal with it. If you vehemently disagree with your
partner’s answer, you’ll press a button to start a debate. The loser will be sprayed with
washable pink paint!”

What were the producers thinking when creating this challenge? Yoojin needed to know.
“How does this count as a trust exercise? People have very different ways to deal with
problems depending on their experiences.”

Jihyo smiled. “What a great question. We at first wanted a task that would make sure our
couples had the same morals, since we have found that couples without matching personal
beliefs don’t tend to last. But it was also based on a sentence many of us hear. ‘Trust me, my
way is better!’”

Hyunjae smirked as he headed toward one of the two podiums the crew had brought onto the
set. “I like that phrase. Hope you’re ready to be dressed in pink dear.”

Oh? A challenge was something he could get behind. Yoojin grinned and pointed at Hyunjae
once he reached his own podium.

“Bring it on! Don’t worry darling, I’ll comfort you over your loss. I won’t even mind the
paint you’ll get on me. Let’s see who comes out on top.”
Chapter End Notes

Lol it's not the ship we love if they don't fight at least a little. Also I'm planning on the
show making a ship name to call the both of them in future episodes, and would
appreciate any ideas because I've only seen Jinjae as a mixed ship name and it has a
cross relation with at least one other ship. I think I will be committing to the taewon x
Myungwoo ship, even though we probably won't get to myungwoo until like 2 chapters.
He's close though! Hope you all enjoyed! (P.S I probably won't update on the 20th in 2
days because that's my birthday so I will be busy!)

YOOHYUN HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY I'M ONLY A DAY LATE.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Jihyo joined in on the momentum to begin the questions.

“First question! How would you deal with family getting in the way of your relationship?
They can be your own family members or the family of your partner.”

Hyunjae hummed. “This actually applies to real life, since my dear Yoojin’s younger brother
doesn’t like me much. He was worried over our power difference and doesn’t trust me
enough to leave Yoojin alone with me. So far, the deal is until we can get an item to
guarantee his safety, we can’t meet up without a chaperone.”

Jihyo laughed as if it was a joke but startled when Yoojin just sighed.

“Hyunjae called someone who can chaperone, but they’ve been delayed a bit. I suggested this
show in order for us to get to spend time together. I love my brother and he’s the best, but he
can be a bit overprotective. I would offer my own answer, but I was the one who was able to
get the agreement from my brother to allow me to date Hyunjae. This might as well be a joint
answer.”

Jihyo cleared her throat. “Ah yes, let’s count that answer for both of you. Our second
question is how you would deal with your partner asking their family members to move in
with you. This is on the assumption that the two of you are living together.”

Yoojin actually wanted the answer to this question. “Dear, do you have any family that would
want to move in with us? I wouldn’t mind, but my brother would probably also come if we
brought in any extra family.”

Hyunjae smirked. “No immediate family you have to worry about dear, and I don’t pay
attention to the rest. Your brother could come if you’re alright with it, but I would appreciate
him giving us privacy when we needed it. No parents to worry about?”

He waved it off. “They died when I was eighteen on a trip, it’s only my brother. Guess we
will have to work on making the family bigger.”
Yoojin wasn’t sure why Hyunjae smiled at his last sentence, but he didn’t object to a larger
family. This was good. He already had a spot reserved for his baby.

Jihyo gave a solemn nod for the deceased and continued in a calmer tone. “Our third question
is: with an unlimited birthday budget, what would you spend it on? It has to be focused on
the birthday aspect.”

Hyunjae laughed. “Well, I already have a planned birthday celebration that I paid for. I guess
I would spend it on the chaperone so I could make sure Yoojin attended.”

Yoojin smiled as he reminisced about the past. “I would probably spend it on celebrations for
my younger brother’s birthday. Maybe get a nicer cake and snacks.”

Suddenly, he heard an alarm noise. He turned to see that Hyunjae had slammed his button on
the podium to start the debate. He leaned his elbow on the podium while innocently smiling
at Yoojin. What a bastard. Then he had to go and open his mouth.

“Darling, how could you not spend your birthday money on yourself? Your brother should be
able to afford his own party now. How did you celebrate your birthday when you were
younger?”

Yoojin wasn’t going to back down. “What's wrong with spending money on my brother? He’s
only twenty, and at this point it’s family tradition. We’ve been using my birthday money to
buy him a cake and celebrate his birthday together since he was small. I don’t remember how
I celebrated without my brother, but it can’t have been as great as having fun with him.”

Hyunjae raised an eyebrow. “Your parents didn’t celebrate with the two of you? Why
wouldn’t they give your brother birthday money as well?”

He shrugged. “They were away often, and since I took care of my brother most of the time,
they might have thought it was my responsibility. Honestly, it was their loss, since my brother
was an extremely cute kid. Actually, he is still cute.”

Hyunjae didn’t relent. “Imagine you already had all the money you needed to celebrate your
brother’s birthday and had some left over for your own. How would you spend it?”

That. That was a difficult question. “I’m not sure. Ask my brother what he would want to
do?”

Hyunjae looked triumphantly at Jihyo. “Lovely host, I think Yoojin loses this debate. I would
like my dear Yoojin to reflect on what he wants for himself.” He seemed a bit sad as he
glanced at Yoojin. “Whatever you desire dear, I’ll get it for you. So let’s have fun with your
brother next time, alright?”

Yoojin tuned out the conversation as Hyunjae was handed a small bucket of pink paint. Did
he really have no thoughts on how to celebrate his birthday? Having Yoohyun as company
was enough of a gift. But what did he like to do? Yoojin liked gifts but did he have any
hobbies? He was so used to being in financial trouble it was hard to picture what he would do
in his free time. He couldn’t believe that bastard Hyunjae had a point.
All his thoughts were halted once Hyunjae dumped the bucket of paint over his head. Yoojin
sputtered and swiped a hand at him, but the jerk danced out of reach.

“Sorry dear! Winner gets the right to dump the paint on their partner! On the bright side you
look good in pink.”

Yoojin wiped the paint off of his face. Hyunjae really had to shut up. He would get his
revenge.

Only Jihyo continuing the segment got Yoojin to stop glaring. “Our first debate has finished!
We have a few more questions to ask, so maybe the odds will even out. Now onto our fourth
question. How would you react to a crying child alone on the street?”

Yoojin sighed in relief. An easy question. “I would ask them if they were hurt, and then ask if
their guardian was nearby. If not, see if the child could contact said guardian and take them to
a police station to be picked up.”

Hyunjae shrugged. “I would probably pass them without doing anything. They don’t seem to
be in mortal peril, and it can probably resolve itself.”

Annoyance flared up in Yoojin as he slammed his debate button. “Don’t leave a crying child
alone! Can’t you at least check on them?”

Hyunjae was indifferent. “If it's not my child, I have other priorities to focus on. If I stopped
for every crying child, I would never get anything done.”

Yoojin flailed an arm in Hyunjae’s direction. “You see that response? I won, right? There is
no way that response should win. Please give me the bucket.”

Once handed the paint, Yoojin realized there was a problem. Hyunjae was too tall. Standing
in front of him with the paint in hand, the height difference was obvious. But well, he was
told his lack of fear was attractive.

“Please bend down.”

Hyunjae chuckled. “My lovely partner is making me enforce my own punishment, how
cruel.”

Despite his words, he leaned down easily. Yoojin decided to reward Hyunjae for not making
a fuss by kissing his nose before stepping back to pour the paint over his head. It was
rewarding to see the pink stick to his clothes. Hyunjae lunged as if to hug Yoojin and he
quickly ran back to the safety of the podium.

Jihyo laughed. “It looks like our couple have both been defeated once! Let’s see how you two
answer the last couple questions. What is a date you would like to have with your significant
other?”

Hyunjae grinned. “I think I’d love to take my dear Yoojin on a date in a dungeon.” He
ignored the incredulous stare Jihyo was giving him. “I think it would be good to show off my
strength and help Yoojin get stronger as well.”
Yoojin hummed. “That actually doesn’t sound too bad if we stick to lower-level dungeons
and I’d get all the rewards, right? I could never compare to my dear S rank. For me, I think
we could probably have a relaxing dinner at home afterward. I was never a fan of crowded
places anyway.”

Hyunjae brightened. “Would my dear Yoojin cook dinner for us? I’d love to taste your
cooking. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Yoojin grumbled but didn’t deny it, which made Hyunjae beam. Being that handsome was
lethal. It was too easy to forgive him.

Jihyo recovered from her shock of their planned dungeon date to move on to the next
question. “Glad to know our couple are excited for future dates. Now for our last question!
How far would you go to protect your partner? You’ve only been dating a week, so I bet
everyone is curious how close you two are.”

It was a tricky question. “I think it really depends on what would be necessary to protect him.
Hyunjae is strong enough that there isn’t much I can do to help. I could tarnish my image to
take some heat off his back, but there is a good chance any sacrificial action I take could
simply be solved by his own talent.” Yoojin felt an irrational anger well up inside of him of
the idea of Hyunjae in actual danger. “I think if a person was dangerous to Hyunjae I’d do my
best to make them irrelevant.”

Hyunjae gave a sultry smile. “Oh lovely Yoojin, you already have my heart but you’re
stealing it once more. I don’t mind anything really, so simply ask and I will follow your wish.
I would like a reward for my hard work though.”

Yoojin snorted. “Yeah? Is murder on the table? What reward would you even get from that?”

It was a joke, but he was taken seriously. “If someone is threatening you, killing is a good
permanent way to keep you safe. My reward would be Yoojin in my arms to make sure he
wasn’t hurt.”

He was speechless, but Yoojin couldn’t tell if it was from mortification or affection. All he
knew was that he was red all over.

Jihyo was also flabbergasted, but she was professional enough to still be able to speak. “You
two are very close for people who have only been dating a week! Isn't it odd to do so much
for someone you’ve been dating for so little time?”

Hyunjae made a thinking pose as he leaned onto the podium. “I didn’t realize we were closer
than normal couples are, I never cared about other people’s relationships much.” He had a
curious look as he glanced at Yoojin. “Should I propose then? I think I have a ring I could
use. The title of fiancé has more weight after all.”

Holy shit. He was serious. Yoojin wanted to scream. He was proposed to on a reality dating
show. Sung Hyunjae proposed to him. It took all his courage to choke out his response before
curling into a ball on the floor.
 “Ask me again in three months.”

“!!!”

The crew and Jihyo were visibly losing their minds while Yoojin stayed in his ball of shame.
But if he couldn’t get pregnant in three months, marriage was a good way to keep Hyunjae
close. Dating also worked, but it was easier to break up than get a divorce. Yoojin was getting
his baby back no matter how long it took.

Apparently Hyunjae liked his answer, as Yoojin was picked up and spun around in his arms.
It got paint everywhere, but he didn’t complain. What he did do was use his hand to smear
paint all over Hyunjae’s face. Retaliation was quick, and soon the both of them were too
absorbed in their little fight to pay attention to the camera.

Jihyo shook her head as she failed to stop their antics.

“As you can see, our couple are too focused on each other to end the show properly. So I’ll
finish it here! This was Hi Hello Romance and I hope you’ll look forward to our next episode
with this couple. Can they ever top the drama of Hyunjae’s casual proposal? We will find out!
Let’s root for them and give them a fun couple name. See you next time!”

The filming stopped and everything was wrapped up quickly. Song Taewon stopped their
petty fight and Yoojin apologized to Jihyo for their behavior. He kissed Hyunjae goodbye
after changing into a clean outfit the crew provided and headed home with Taewon.

Everything was normal until Yoojin spotted a person about to jump over the bridge they were
driving over.

“Hey! Stop the car! Right now!!!”

Yoojin jumped out as soon as the car was mostly still and tackled the person to the ground,
away from the edge of the bridge. He sat up to check their health as Taewon parked properly
and came out of the car.

“Are you alright? I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

Those must have been magic words because the man started tearing up. Yoojin panicked but
did his best to console him. He rubbed the man’s back and gave him a light hug.

“Let it all out, I got you. You’ll be alright. What’s your name?”

The man sniffled but raised his head from Yoojin’s shoulder to answer.

“Yoo Myeongwoo.”

Yoojin didn’t want to keep his brother waiting for him, but he couldn’t leave Myeongwoo
alone if he was still inclined to jump off the bridge.

“Myeongwoo, I understand this is a personal question, but what caused you to jump off the
bridge? If you can’t explain, could you at least tell me if you’re likely to try again? I’d like to
get you the care you need if I can.”

Myeongwoo started waving his hands rapidly. “Oh no! Please don’t bother with me, I’m not
worth it. I want to say I won’t try again, but I don’t have anything going for me right now.
I’m useless and can’t make a living, so death seemed like my best option.”

Yoojin frowned in worry. He felt a kinship with Myeongwoo. It was hard to explain, but he
could tell they were similar in more than just their feelings of being useless. Noticing their
parallels made him hate seeing Myeongwoo so downtrodden. He could see Taewon also had
a worried expression. Well, if he thought himself useless, maybe Yoojin could fix that.

He was still wearing the hunter accessories that helped his mana, so he should put them to
good use. Luckily, his promising sprout skill was an action he could make without speaking.
Myeongwoo needed to be reminded of what he was good at, so his potential could tell Yoojin
what his specialties were.

The moment he activated; the SSS rank blacksmith skill blinded him with how much it
shone. Apparently Myeongwoo had great potential, despite his belief otherwise. Yoojin also
noted that he was a fellow F rank, but that didn’t matter much. He clamped a hand onto
Myeongwoo’s shoulder.

“Hey, you’re good at using your hands right? Crafts or cooking maybe?”

Myeongwoo startled. “How did you know? I can make figures and other similar sculptures,
though I’ve never tried cooking. What are you getting at?”

Yoojin dismissively waved a hand. “Nevermind how I know, the problem we have to focus
on is that you think you have no value. This is inherently wrong, but I know it’ll be hard to
convince you. So how about a job? I think I have one you’ll be able to do well.”
Myeongwoo looked a mix of hopeful and suspicious. “Where could I get a good job that I
was actually qualified for?”

Yoojin just smiled as he took out his phone and hit his second speed dial. It was picked up
immediately. He held it between them and pressed speaker.

“Dear, the crew said the person who was meant to help out for the next episode bailed after
watching our filming right? I think I found a good replacement!”

“Oh? Dear, you work quickly. I’m glad, I would hate to cancel our meeting. They can be
ready by the next filming?”

Yoojin glanced at Myeongwoo who still looked confused. “I’m sure. He’s good with his
hands, so he should be able to teach us how to make different kinds of crafts.”

There was a pause and Hyunjae’s voice lowered darkly. “Is that so? How do you know he’s
good with his hands? How close are you two?”

Myeongwoo became petrified but Yoojin did his best to console the man as he dealt with
Hyunjae.

“He told me? I just met him but he should be perfectly qualified. I wanted a housekeeper but
figured you would be opposed. This was a good compromise, don’t you think? If this is a no
go, I could always go to Haeyeon to get him as a janitor or something.”

He was actually still planning to get Myeongwoo help from Haeyeon, but Hyunjae didn’t
need to know that.

Hyunjae sighed. “My darling is right; I don’t want other men in your house. Do I at least get
a reward from helping out your new friend?”

Yoojin smirked. “Darling, since the last person was scared off, don’t you think the three of us
should meet up beforehand? To get Myeongwoo used to us. It would be terrible if he was
terrified of my dear S rank. Why let this opportunity go?”

Hyunjae laughed. “I’d love to take my darling on a date. Do you want to try eating out? I’d
love to show you off to the public. Do we need Noah? He should arrive a little before the
second episode filming, it will be difficult to plan.”

Song Taewon cleared his throat. “If you still require a chaperone, I have time in about three
days. It would be good for me to keep Sung Hyunjae in check when I can.”

Myeongwoo gave Taewon a grateful glance, though the man looked away.

Yoojin grinned. “Did you hear that dear? Your second favorite person has volunteered to
chaperone us once more! It will be fun with the four of us, I can tell.”

Hyunjae hummed. “Ah, I do love Taewon’s company. Then maybe I’ll consider this a double
date? My friend needs to get out more.”
 Myeongwoo sputtered while Taewon stiffened. Yoojin was sure he was regretting his offer.

“Dear, you need to save that for when we’re on the date and they can’t run away! Make sure
to have free time in three days, I’ll see you then.”

Hyunjae chuckled. “I’ll make time. Missing you terribly already.”

Yoojin laughed. “I love you too!”

He hung up before they could continue, the phone still on speaker. Yoojin hated to admit it,
but he and Hyunjae were one of those couples who tried to end the call and then kept talking
for an hour. It was nice until you had an audience or things to do.

He turned to Myeongwoo who seemed scared but hopeful.

“I’m sorry I didn’t explain, but you’ll basically be a crafts teacher in the reality show Hi
Hello Romance. My partner is a notorious S rank, but since I’m an F rank, we get a
chaperone so it doesn’t get too rowdy. Don’t worry about safety. Song Taewon will definitely
be able to protect the both of us. Are you up for it?”

Myeongwoo gulped, but after glancing at Taewon he nodded. “I think I can. Thank you so
much- oh my god I don’t even know your name. I’m so sorry! You’re helping me so much and
I was so rude. Why do you even want to help a hopeless case-”

Yoojin cut Myeongwoo off before he could spiral any more. “Don’t worry about it. I relate to
you in a lot of ways, so I wanted to help you out.” He stood up and held out his hand. “I’m
Han Yoojin and I think we could both use a friend. Interested?”

Myeongwoo gave a shaky smile as he grasped Yoojin’s hand.

“I think I’d like that.”

Chapter End Notes

And Myeongwoo has established himself as a character!!! Yoojin has used the
keyword!!! Does he realize this? No. I actually planned Taewon and Myeongwoo to get
closer on just the show but now they have decided to do a double date. Looking forward
to that mess!!! Since I took so long to see the fanart this time should I link my tumblr?
Nothing happens on it so if you guys message me there I should see it quickly. Have a

Yoojin took care of everything quickly. He made plans with Myeongwoo to visit the crew
before the double date so everyone could get familiar with each other and was able to
convince Song Taewon to drive Myeongwoo home. However, that meant he was late getting
to Yoohyun’s place. He hoped his brother didn’t worry too much.

When he opened the door Yoohyun rushed over immediately.

“Hyung! You’re late! Did anything happen? Was it that bastard Sung Hyunjae? I can get rid
of him.” He started checking over Yoojin. “Was Song Taewon doing his job? Why are you
damp?”

Yoojin gently pushed Yoohyun away.

“Don’t worry Yoohyun, I wasn’t hurt. I know you just came back from a dungeon, so really I
should be the one fretting. I’m damp because the show had a messy aspect so I had to get
cleaned up. How was the dungeon?”

Yoohyun shrugged but gestured to the transparent cage behind him.

“We were able to get an adolescent Horned Flame Lion but-”

That’s all Yoojin heard before he rushed to the wall of the enclosure. A baby. It wasn’t his,
but they were obviously Yoohyun’s, so they were family. A new baby in the family. Yoojin
was finally an uncle. Sure, they were a monster; but Yoojin was taking what he could get.
Plus, no matter how intelligent, the horned flame lion should be able to understand Yoojin
posed no threat.

He quickly entered the cage, not comprehending what Yoohyun was shouting, and crouched
down with his arms wide open. He made various cooing noises to try to call the monster over.
They seemed a bit apprehensive but curious. Adorable!

“Yoohyun! What’s their name? I have to introduce myself to our new addition, they’re so
cute! What do they eat? I want to give them a treat!”
Yoohyun had a worried face as he slowly came closer to not startle the baby. “Hyung, please
be careful- we haven’t tamed it yet. It can be very dangerous because even though you have
some strong skills, the monster is a rank C. It can damage you greatly, so please slowly exit
the enclosure while you can. I’d use the owner’s token, but it only makes the monster more
agitated.”

Yoojin frowned. He was excited to have a baby to fawn over, and Yoohyun was informing
him that it wasn’t meant to be. Wait, the monster didn’t have a name? They were too cute to
be nameless!

That was when the monster started to head over toward Yoojin. They went up to one of his
hands and sniffed carefully before rubbing their head against it. It was so cute he had to stop
himself from cooing at them some more.

Yoojin turned his hand to rub the monster’s head. “Aw, you’re such a cutie! A good baby.
You deserve a pretty name. How about Peace?” They started purring at Yoojin’s attention.
“Do you like your name Peace? I’ll use it well.”

He knew that this was a bad idea, but Yoojin felt even more desperate for a child ever since
beginning to date Hyunjae. There was a part of him that was saying Peace was a good
candidate to care for. A lovely child.

Peace decided to come closer, much to Yoohyun’s audible dismay. They put their paws softly
on Yoojin’s leg to look up at him, and he couldn’t stop the urge to pick Peace up. He rubbed
their back as they purred.

“What a good baby you are Peace!”

He turned to Yoohyun, his satisfaction of holding Peace evident. “Yoohyun, I think my

caretaker title lets Peace like me more. I think that’s why I was able to do this without the
token. I should have it just in case though. I’d like to see how Peace grows.”

Yoohyun pouted. “Hyung, the problem is that you could have gotten hurt! Peace was
untameable before this. You didn’t know the caretaker title would help you at first. You
rushed in without information! Please be careful. I know you don’t want the extreme form of
my personal protection.”

Yoojin smiled sheepishly. “Sorry Yoohyun, I’ll be more careful in the future. Peace just
reminded me of how cute you were when you were a baby. I couldn’t help myself.” Yoohyun
scowled. “Of course you were cuter though.”

Yoohyun was appeased with Yoojin ruffling his hair like he used to when they were younger.
He handed over the token, Peace’s purring immediately getting louder. Yoojin read the
notification that popped up, informing him that his title made the token more effective. Hm.
Then if there wasn’t a notification before this, it probably wasn’t his hunter abilities that
made Peace like him. Which was worrisome.

Yoohyun didn’t need to know. At least not yet. Yoojin needed to find out what about himself
Peace was able to trust. Yoohyun would just get anxious over an unknown he couldn’t figure
out.

Yoojin’s thought process was derailed when Peace lifted their head to give him a lick to the
face. Oh, what happiness he had from having Peace in arms! Their cute face and soft fur were
the best, truly. He couldn’t ever be in a grumpy mood with such an adorable baby in his
arms! He was so full of warmth and pleasure he sensed a rumble in his chest.

It got stronger at such a rapid pace he couldn’t stop it, with it vibrating throughout his torso.
Was he… purring? Peace excitedly rubbed his head against Yoojin’s throat, happy with this
development. He couldn’t understand what was happening, but maybe it was part of the
reason Peace was so willing to trust him.

Even if it was, Yoojin was worried about how Yoohyun would react to it. He was already a
loser of a brother, he didn’t want to add to the list of his disappointments. Before he managed
to stop, Yoohyun had come close enough to hear him. To his surprise, Yoohyun only smiled.

“I’m glad to see Hyung happy enough to make that sound again.”

Yoojin tilted his head in confusion.

“I’ve made this sound before? I don’t remember.” Though apparently he wasn’t able to purr
and talk at the same time.

“You did it a lot more when I was younger, whenever we were together. Usually it started
when we had a lot of physical contact, though I guess you didn’t notice since you were
mostly focused on me. I’m pretty sure you stopped when our parents died because you were
so stressed. You didn’t do it at all when I was gone?”

Yoojin laughed bitterly. “How could I ever be happy when you were gone, Yoohyun?”

It’s been a total of twelve years since their parents died, though in Yoohyun’s perspective it
would be seven. It made sense that Yoojin would forget.

Yoohyun lowered his head with shame. “... Sorry Hyung.”

Yoojin sighed as he set down Peace to hug his brother. He shouldn't be bitter forever.

“You’re forgiven. But you can’t leave me again, alright Yoohyun? Never again.” Yoohyun
nodded as he tightly returned the hug.

Peace started begging for attention, cutting their hug short. It took all his energy to play with
them until he had to sleep, but it was a fun time. There was just a special feeling when
playing with a baby.

He was just about to change when his phone rang. He smiled as he answered the call.

“Hello darling, miss me?”

“Always.”

much smut lol. I of course write it more when my plot allows me to, but I have thinking
about whether you guys actually want more smut than the bare minimum. Do you prefer
that I have been doing minimal smut and mostly fluff in this fic? Or would you like me
to write more smut when I can? Though I am very inexperienced at writing it lol. Please
share your thoughts because I'm debating over writing a phone sex chapter/ whether I
can actually write a phone sex chapter. Hope you guys liked it!

to all people who don't want to read it this is your free pass. The main point was that
Hyunjae was extra horny from getting the keyword. There is no plot relevant stuff here.
Hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin was feeling more excited than usual as he laid on his bed during their phone call.
There weren't any obvious tells, but there was a sensation under his skin that wanted
attention. He wanted to be caressed and cherished physically, but it would have to wait. He
would have to make do with Hyunjae’s voice.

Hyunjae seemed more engaged in this phone call as well.

"Yoojin, love, what’s on your mind? I can hear your mind straying from our conversation, it’s
quite upsetting. You know I require all your attention. I’ll have you know I’m extra needy
today.”

Yoojin shuddered as he felt a wave of lust rush over him, stronger than he thought he was
capable of. It was strange, why were his emotions overwhelming him like this? Usually the
emotions he couldn’t handle were anger and despair. He was used to managing lust, his
fevers made that necessary. So, what changed?

Well, there was one easy solution to his problem. Hyunjae was hard to understand at times,
but he would always appreciate a new activity if he thought it was fun. And Yoojin found out
pretty quickly that Hyunjae was… extremely interested in sex now. What was the point of
dating such a crazy S rank if he couldn’t use him?

Despite his confidence, Yoojin flushed red in embarrassment at having to make a request.

“Darling, don’t worry, you have all my thoughts. I’m just… missing you a lot right now. In
several ways. Could we turn this into a video call? I want to see you.”

Hyunjae hummed. “Of course, whatever my love desires. I could never deny you. However, I
would like you to turn on your video as well. Seeing your face is always a pleasure.”

The last sentence was practically purred, with Yoojin flushing redder at the audible lust. He
moved his phone in front of his face and started his video, Hyunjae following soon after. It
was easy to see the pink on his face with the bead of sweat on his temple. It could almost
rival Yoojin’s own tomato face.

It should be illegal to be that sexy.

Yoojin swallowed heavily. “Love, are you touching yourself right now? Because I could have
sworn you only turn that color when exerting yourself.”

Hyunjae smiled. It was lethal in his current state.

“Ah, it figures that lovely Yoojin has found me out. How could I not? I’m missing you
terribly and couldn’t touch you much on the show today. How else am I supposed to cope
other than using my darling’s voice? Let me say that admiring your face is helping-” Hyunjae
winced and let out a short gasp. “greatly.”

If there was a tipping point Yoojin had with his lust, it was clearly this moment. He had needs
and Hyunjae was a bastard for taking care of them on his own. Didn’t he know he was dating
a F rank loser who was obviously horny way too much for his own good? It seems his darling
had to learn.

“Let me see you touching yourself, love.” His voice lowered as he gave the command.
Hyunjae easily complied, but Yoojin could tell he wanted a bit of a battle. The phone moved
enough to cut off his face, so it only showed his fully clothed form except for the hand
touching his dick. That simply wouldn’t do.

“You’re showing off too little skin, darling. Take off your shirt for me and keep your face on
the screen. I need to look at you properly.”

Yoojin couldn’t guess what made Hyunjae comply, but he made a point to convey the fact
that it wasn’t a request. The sight of Hyunjae slowly unbuttoning his shirt with one hand until
he was able to cast it away was breathtaking.

He slowly appreciated Hyunjae’s bare chest with his dick on full display. It matched
beautifully with the flush on his face. If Yoojin hadn’t been hard before, he definitely was
now. His darling deserved a reward for good behavior.

“You’re so handsome, love. Thank you for indulging me. Is there anything you want me to
do?”

Hyunjae had gone back to touching himself. He nodded and gave a small smile that made
Yoojin twitch.

“I’d like to see my darling Yoojin with his legs wide open as he stretches out his hole. I’d let
you touch your front, but I’m afraid you need one hand for the phone. How sad, truly.”

Bastard. He pretended to be kind enough that Yoojin was considering the proposal, but shit
like this was the reason he needed three months. If he could get his baby back before
committing, it would be for the best.
Nevertheless, he caught the soft gaze Hyunjae was giving him as he grumbled and took off
his pants. There was no point of faking that expression. Maybe marriage wouldn’t be so bad.

Yoojin’s insides warmed at the thought, though he immediately discarded the notion. He had
embarrassing actions to do for his pervert boyfriend. Feelings had no place at the moment.
He grabbed his lube and did his best to get the phone in the proper position as he spread his
legs. It was quite frankly, a pain.

“Do you think I have the flexibility to keep this up? I need to lift my hips to give you
anything to look at and my legs are spread as far as they can go. Don’t expect a long show.
You’re not allowed to be disappointed.”

Hyunjae laughed softly. “How could I ever be disappointed when Yoojin is so lovely? I’m
sure with beautiful scenery like this I won’t last long anyway. I’m lucky to have a such
gorgeous boyfriend.”

Yoojin had been circling his rim and had just inserted a finger when Hyunjae’s last sentence
gave him a full body shudder. Jerk sure knew how to time his sentences. Despite knowing his
angle Yoojin couldn’t help the enjoyment he felt from the words.

“W-who is gorgeous. I’m a simple F rank who is dying of embarrassment right now.”

“Why, it is apparent that my darling Yoojin is dazzling. Who could possibly compare?”

Yoojin could sense his blush spreading down his torso. He was two fingers in with little pain,
it was almost as if he were loosening up from just Hyunjae’s words.

“I know you’ve passed by a mirror before. But even if you hadn’t, there are many who
surpass my measly appearance. Your bias is blinding you.”

“The only thing blinding me is your beauty, love.” Yoojin could see the possessiveness taking
over. Hyunjae’s face. “I can’t wait until I can cherish you properly again. I’ll leave new
marks where they faded on your chest and thighs and fuck you slowly enough you’ll feel
every inch of me. You’ll be captivating.”

Fuck, he was three fingers in and that line was all he could take before cumming. He bit his
lip and let out a muffled shout, falling limp on the bed. Bringing his phone back to his face,
Yoojin did his best to hide his shame. It wasn’t working.

“I told you I wouldn’t last long. You’re going to have to use only my voice for now.”

Hyunjae was so satisfied it was practically radiating off of him.

“Whatever do you mean? The view of Yoojin succumbing to my seduction was enthralling. I
followed my darling’s lead quickly after. I won’t turn down another show, but my immediate
need was taken care of.”

That did relieve most of Yoojin’s anxieties. If Hyunjae wasn’t happy with the results he
would have demanded more. But. Well. It was nice to get compliments. He wouldn’t mind
some more. Hyunjae could get another reward.
 He rubbed the back of his neck.

“Well, I still have to clean up the mess. Would my lovely Hyunjae like to watch me in the
bath?”

Hyunjae gave him a hungry look and grinned.

“My darling Yoojin treats me so well. I’m yours for the rest of the night.”

See the end of the chapter for more notes

It was the day of the so-called double date and Yoojin was genuinely looking forward to it.
Myeongwoo meeting the crew for Hi Hello Romance had gone swimmingly, and the entire
group was looking forward to working with him. Yoojin hadn’t been allowed to go with him
since they were planning the next episode, but it was clear the crew had adopted Myeongwoo
as one of their own. The excited summary the producer had given him in their phone call
made that evident.

To get to the date, Song Taewon had to pick up Yoojin like he did for the show. However, this
time the journey was much more fun since Myeongwoo was also in the car.

Yoojin used this opportunity to ask the main question that had been nagging him.

“So Myeongwoo, you have to tell me how you managed to seduce the crew! The producer
wouldn’t give me any information about what you did, just that you were a lovely person and
deserve good things. I need to know what happened!”

Myeongwoo blushed as he scratched the back of his head. “O-oh they said that about me?
Everyone was very nice from the beginning. I’m not sure I even did anything; the crew did
all the hard work of accepting me.”

Song Taewon surprised them both by including his input. “Yoo Myeongwoo had cooked the
entire crew lunch. According to the reactions, his cooking is phenomenal. They were very
grateful for the taste of a home cooked meal.”

Yoojin raised an eyebrow. “And how did you find this out? Weren’t you working?”

Taewon didn’t move an inch. “I offered to drive him after he asked me how many members
there were and asked for my opinion on how to make a good impression. I told him to do
what he wanted and that I could drive him so it would be easier to transport whatever he
prepared.”
He glanced at Myeongwoo through the car mirror. “I do believe it was an excellent way to
show your sincerity. I always appreciate a good meal.”

Myeongwoo blushed and tucked his hair behind his ear.

“T-thank you. Please just use Myeongwoo, I’d feel terribly rude if I made you talk formally
to me after all your help. You even picked me up afterward.” Yoojin gave Taewon a pointed
stare that went completely ignored. “Is there anything I can do for you? I'd like to return your
sincerity.”

“It’s not necessary.” Taewon’s reply was stiff enough to leave the entire car uncomfortable.
Myeongwoo looked especially depressed. “... But if you really want to, you can make me
lunch for the next filming.”

Myeongwoo instantly recovered, practically vibrating with excitement. It promptly melted

the awkward tension that had been choking Yoojin before.

“Yes! If my cooking is enough, I’ll gladly do it! Yoojin too, do you want anything? The
amount you’ve helped me is so much I don’t think I can ever repay you.”

Yoojin grinned. “You should worry about how to thank me when you finally have enough
money to live comfortably. I’ll suck you dry then.” He was joking, but the serious way
Myeongwoo was nodding in agreement worried him. “For now, I’ll take a lunch as well! If
your cooking was able to seduce an entire crew I’d love to try it.”

The atmosphere was pleasant by the time they reached their destination. Yoojin immediately
spotted Hyunjae nearby and waved to get his attention as they parked. As Hyunjae reached
the car, he opened the door and took his hand to help Yoojin out.

Hyunjae kissed his hand. “How lovely it is to see my darling today. Do you have anything
you’d like to do? I want to treat my partner preciously.”

Yoojin gave a small smile. He truly was ridiculous. It was hard to resist doing whatever he
wanted. And well… there was no reason to stop himself. He used both his hands to pull
Hyunjae’s head down and gave him a proper kiss.

The slightly dazed look Hyunjae had was truly satisfying. “I like tripe, but that’s my only
request today. Let’s all have a good time together. Here, I’ll introduce our new friend! This is
Yoo Myeongwoo!”

Myeongwoo was shaking slightly, but managed a polite greeting. “Hello, nice to meet you. I
hope we can get along on the show!”

Hyunjae grinned, but the ominous aura he radiated was the true indicator of his emotions.

“You must be the man my partner liked immediately, hm~ He must have treated you nicely.
Do I have to worry about you?”

The shaking suddenly stopped as Myeongwoo became frozen stiff from fear, and Yoojin
decided that was enough. Hyunjae couldn’t be allowed to do as he pleased whenever he got
 worried. He smacked the back of Hyunjae’s head and ruffled it for good measure. Irritatingly,
he still was handsome as he pouted.

“Back off, you’re scaring my friend! You should be focusing on me instead, if you’re going
to act like this. No kisses for you until he forgives you.”

Hyunjae stiffened. “... No kisses at all? Not a single one?”

“None. And if you get worse than this, I’ll limit touch.”

He winced. “Darling Yoojin is too cruel. I’m devastated you’re giving a man other than me
special treatment. I’ll be good.”

Yoojin scowled. “You still need to apologize. Look-” He pointed to Song Taewon comforting
Myeongwoo while glaring at Hyunjae. “He’s terrified! I want to have a fun date with my
boyfriend, is that so much to ask for?”

Hyunjae brightened up immediately. “Not at all, my dear.” He bowed. “I’m sorry, Yoo
Myeongwoo. I got jealous when Yoojin was so happy to hang out with another man, I didn’t
consider that I should be trusting him. Please forgive me.”

Myeongwoo took a deep breath as he straightened. “I understand, though I don’t like how
easy it was for you to get possessive. I don’t want Yoojin getting hurt. It seems you like him
enough to listen to him, which is why I’ll forgive you. Please remember I am F rank and
cannot handle your aura when you use it. Yoojin is also F rank, so maybe take pride in the
fact he loves you enough it doesn’t affect him. And then not get threatened by a random
person he met on the street.”

Wow, Myeongwoo really went for the throat! How impressive. Was Hyunjae truly acting like
this only because he thought Yoojin would get seduced by Myeongwoo? How silly. He hated
to admit it, but Hyunjae was a catch on many levels. Yoojin didn’t want to say it out loud, but
he was captivated. He might leave, but definitely not for another love interest.

Hah! Like there would be another contender. Sung Hyunjae was a psycho from wanting
Yoojin in the first place. He wasn't going to waste it though.

He pulled down Hyunjae for another kiss. “You’re ridiculous. I’m not going to leave you for
someone else. When you proposed I told you to wait three months to try again. That means
I’m seriously considering it! Think of it this way, you’re mine, and I’m not letting you go
anytime soon.”

Hyunjae only nodded, and Yoojin was satisfied to have that problem taken care of. “Let’s go
eat then! I’m starving.”

He linked his arm with Hyunjae’s and set off, not noticing the glare behind him.

 Hello, Bak Yerim
Chapter Notes

IM SOOOOO SORRY THIS CHAPTER TOOK SO LONG IT FOUGHT ME

VICOUSLY. At least it's a little longer? Small wins. Hope you all enjoy!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

It was fun chatting with Hyunjae as they walked outside, with the sun overhead and the sky
clear. It was nice to have a real date. Not a phone call or a one night stand, but an actual date.
Yoojin was new to the romantic part of relationships, and he was nervous that it was obvious.

He tugged Hyunjae down to whisper. “This is my first proper date. I’m not acting weird, am
I?”

The grin Hyunjae sported was blinding.

“To have a first of Yoojin’s is my greatest gift. You’re doing wonderfully.”

Yoojin frowned anxiously. He wasn’t used to having so few things go wrong.

“You sure?”

“One hundred percent.”

“I don’t know if I should trust your judgment.”

“The point of the date is for the both of us to enjoy it, no? I am fifty percent of the opinion
that matters, and I am very confident in the fact that your company pleases me. If you aren’t
having fun, I am the one who is lacking.”

This smooth talker really knew how to help sooth Yoojin’s nerves. He appreciated it though.
He reached out to interlock their hands and smiled up at Hyunjae.

“Then I guess I have to keep up the good work.”

Hyunjae squeezed his hand. “That you do.”

Once they arrived at the restaurant, Yoojin suddenly remembered they had company. He
winced at the fact they were ignoring Myeongwoo when the whole excuse for this outing was
to get him closer to the both of them.

As they sat down, Yoojin apologized and made sure the conversation included everyone. At
least, he tried. Song Taewon only participated in the bare minimum. He spoke the most when
Myeongwoo had a question he could answer, but otherwise kept to himself.

It was nice, talking with everyone and eating without worrying over the price. Myeongwoo
made sure to keep Hyunjae in line, with inner strength Yoojin was sure he wasn’t aware he
had. Some of his favorites were:

“I’m a simple F rank, but wouldn’t it be so sad if you bullied me when your treasured partner
is the same rank? Almost as if you see him as lesser.”

“Song Taewon is also an S rank but makes sure to keep his aura down to make sure I’m not
frightened. Are you saying you’re less talented than him? When Yoojin is right here to hear
you?”

“Do you want Yoojin to live without any male friends? You know that only leaves women,
right? Who literally make a point to look attractive because of our society? Yoojin don’t you
like women as well?”

The reaction Hyunjae had to finding out Yoojin liked all genders… was intense. He seemed
ready to murder everyone present in the restaurant. Thankfully, he calmed down when Yoojin
took his hand and kissed it. It was a close call.

Yoojin really wanted that personal bodyguard, if only to give the attention needed to keep his
partner from going insane with jealousy. The reaction was surprising. Yoojin might be
bisexual, but it was hard to top Hyunjae’s- anything. Wealth, power, looks, persuasion; he
truly was the man to have it all.

So why was he worried about losing Yoojin when there wasn’t even any competition?

It was nice to know how much Hyunjae valued him, but it was unexpected. That in so little
time, Yoojin was important to someone. Sure, the proposal happened, but it had occurred
after only a week of dating. Yoojin couldn’t take it seriously.

Witnessing Hyunjae act appropriately because of Myeongwoo reminding him there was
Yoojin to behave for- it left an impact. Bowing down to a weaker rank for him? He told the
butterflies in his stomach to settle down, but they refused to listen.

He wasn’t the only one affected. Song Taewon was looking at Myeongwoo as if he had
sprouted wings. Impressed and with a hint of fear. For Myeongwoo’s safety or his sanity,
Yoojin couldn’t tell.

Myeongwoo certainly wore confidence like he was meant for it. Yoojin wanted to see it more
often. Maybe they should try unlocking his blacksmith skill. It certainly couldn’t hurt.
Honestly, it would be wasteful to not let Myeongwoo use his full abilities.

Yoojin’s thoughts were halted when Hyunjae pulled him onto his lap. The bastard had no
shame. He was lucky that Yoojin also appreciated the touch. After years of abandonment, he
missed the warmth of people he lo- cared about.
But that wasn’t the problem! Why did Hyunjae have to make a scene in public! Their
relationship hadn't even aired yet. Was there no way for him to have patience?

He shoved at Hyunjae’s shoulder. “Stop making a scene.”

“But I want to show everyone that darling Yoojin is mine.”

“Do that after the show reveals that we’re dating. I hate scandals. I despise being the
scandal.”

“I’ll do as you say if you accept my marriage proposal.”

“Darling. Are you trying to bargain right now?”

Suddenly the waitress next to their table tripped, spilling the food in her hands all over
Hyunjae as Yoojin caught her. As she frantically apologized, Yoojin took in the sight of
Hyunjae covered in food. His miffed expression contrasted with the meat juices ruining his
suit.

Yoojin burst into laughter. Every time he calmed down, he would look at Hyunjae and start
all over again. It was lucky that Hyunjae seemed more preoccupied with his laughter than the
currently soiled clothes. Yoojin reassured the frantic waitress and couldn’t help but notice her
awful state.

Wasn’t this Bak Yerim? Why did she have tattered shoes that looked too small? There wasn’t
enough meat on her bones. And wasn’t she too young to work? He was pretty sure she was
only fifteen. Yoojin wanted to have words for whoever was taking care of her.

He would have fussed over her more if he couldn’t feel Hyunjae staring daggers at the back
of his head. Could he be… jealous? Of a fifteen-year-old? Surely not. Yoojin looked back and
confirmed that, yes, Hyunjae was threatened by Yerim. Geez.

Yoojin left Yerim for a moment to whisper harshly in Hyunjae’s ear..

“Darling. She. Is. A. Child. I don’t see children as romantic prospects. Get yourself together.”
He squeezed Hyunjae’s shoulder tightly. “Did you know? I want children. Lots. So you’re
going to have to prove your worth as a guardian. Let’s start now, hm?”

Hyunjae gripped his chin to kiss him softly. “So, I see my darling wants to add to the family.
I’ll behave. You still need a gift, don’t you? Do you want her?”

He was quick on the uptake. Yoojin knew it was ridiculous, he didn’t know Yerim and there
was no reason she would prefer him to her actual family. But. He wanted to help her. He
couldn’t have in the past, but he can now.

Yoojin turned to Yerim and asked her quietly.

“Would you like to get out of your situation? You might not trust me, but over there at my
table are Song Taewon and Sung Hyunjae. I promise I just want to help.”
Yerim looked as if she had a million questions, but there was only one that came out.

“Why?”

He smiled. “Because you look like you need it, and I can give it.”

She nodded. “Okay, Ahjussi.” Ouch. “I’ll follow your lead.”

Perfect. Now all he had to do was distract Song Taewon.

“Myeongwoo! Wouldn’t it be so nice if you asked our government worker about the rules
that apply to F ranks? I’m sure there are things you’re confused about.” Myeongwoo was
obviously confused, but quickly understood with Yoojin’s small gestures at Yerim. “I’ll be
going with the waitress and Hyunjae to resolve the spill issue! Be right back.”

Yoojin tugged Hyunjae towards himself and told Yerim to lead the way. He remembered that
she used to work at a family run restaurant, so this should be resolved easily. Once there was
enough distance, he finally replied to Hyunjae’s question.

“Yes, I do want her.”

Hyunjae grinned. “Ask and you shall receive.”

As it turned out Sung Hyunjae, covered in food with his menacing aura, was very effective.
One implied threat because of his upset, asking for a person to take responsibility, suddenly
Yerim was very available for the taking. To her family, she didn’t have worth.

It infuriated him, but he endured. For now, they used the contract they had saved for Noah to
sign her up as Yoojin’s ‘assistant’ with the family promising they would sign the other
necessary papers once they came back to pick up Yerim’s things.

With the main problem taken care of, the three of them returned to Myeongwoo actually
seeming interested in all the regulations Taewon was talking about. What a guy. Yoojin
explained how he had Yerim as an assistant for the day (a lie), so she would be joining them.
Song Taewon gave a suspicious glare to Hyunjae, but couldn’t prove anything and so kept
silent.

The rest of the date went great. They bought new clothes for Hyunjae who looked amused at
mall clothing prices, but was happy to try on different styles Yoojin chose. Yerim also had
input, claiming that he had terrible clothing taste and that it needed major correction.
Hyunjae’s silence on the matter meant she was right, but it was still fun.

They went to the arcade, which Yerim loved, and ended with a pottery painting shop.
Myeongwoo blew all of them away with his painting of a multicolor storm. Hyunjae
demanded his return gift be Yoojin’s painted lion. It was for the best, since even though he
had tried to make it look like Peace for Yoohyun, he failed miserably. Nevertheless, he still
put up a fight. Sort of.

“No, you can’t have it! This was for Yoohyun!”

 “Ah but darling, you owe me now, don’t you? I can always take a different kind of reward…”

“Wow suddenly this is not nearly good enough for Yoohyun! I’ll make him his favorite food
later. Here, my darling can have it.”

The day ended with Taewon driving everyone except Hyunjae back. Yoojin said Yerim’s
guardian would pick her up at his place (another lie), and so she was approved to come along.
Hyunjae was extra clingy before they left, but it was easy to indulge him.

As Yoojin taught Yerim what to check on in contracts while in the car, he was full of warmth.
He had a kid now, and a boyfriend who was willing to get him said kid.

Maybe staying with Hyunjae wouldn’t be so bad.

Chapter End Notes

OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT. NERD TAEWON IS REAL AN MYEONGWOO LOVES

IT. I told another commenter that I was changing the meeting of all the characters and
this technically is different but not by much lol. In my defense the other option was
having her come to cater food for the show which I was considering but I had to get her
already. Next chapter should be meeting Noah! I think! I keep being wrong so maybe I
just need leeway. Also the surprise was Yerim if you were still confused!
 Hello, Noah
Chapter Notes

OKAY SO I KNOW ITS BEEN FOREVER I HAVE NO DEFENSE. I started a new s

class fic I'm having fun with so updates will also probably be less frequent sorry! But I
promise it's not dead!!! I have too much planned!!!!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Having a kid around the house was both fun and a struggle. Yerim loved spending time with
him but Yoojin was, as she claimed, ‘an old man at heart’. Almost everything she was
interested in, he didn’t know much about. That made it so Yerim was determined to catch him
up on all the media he hadn't paid attention to when he was younger.

On the bright side, since Yerim didn’t like Yoojin spending money on her, he was able to
make a deal where each episode he watched he was able to buy her an expensive item she
wanted. He had money now, and was determined to spoil Yerim until she could put the days
of tattered shoes behind her. Of course he still bought her new necessities, such as a complete
wardrobe, but the deal was for objects like a five hundred dollar plushie of mimikyu.

Yerim tried to be sneaky and would sometimes ask for furniture to decorate the house, but
she forced Yoojin to watch enough shows that she did end up getting a good amount of
presents for herself. Each time she made a new request she slowly became more confident,
and Yoojin loved seeing her blossom.

Each day with Yerim was a new experience, and Yoojin felt as if he could actually become a
decent parent. Maybe. It gave him hope for when he would finally get his baby back.

Speaking of his baby, he was currently waiting for the new bodyguard Noah to arrive at
Yoohyun’s.

Yerim was at school, but Yoohyun insisted on using his place so that if it didn't work out
Noah wouldn't have Yoojin’s address. Yoohyun also wanted to give his own approval in
person. Any person protecting Yoojin needed to be vetted thoroughly, or so Yoohyun
claimed.

And while Yoojin knew it was unlikely for Hyunjae to do anything awful to him, Yoohyun
was much more cautious. The only reason he was considering it was because he knew Yoojin
would eventually sneak out if he wasn’t allowed outside and Yoohyun genuinely did want
more protection for him.

It was the safest option, though Yoohyun wasn’t happy to acknowledge it.
But when Noah stepped through the doors, Yoohyun kept his manners. He was a good kid
like that.

Noah bowed and gave his greetings, fully professional despite his young appearance. It was
impressive, though Yoojin felt guilty for relying on a younger person for protection.

He bowed back and did his best to make conversation with Yoohyun glowering behind him.

"Hello, I'm Han Yoojin and I'll be in your care. Please don't mind my brother behind me, he
gets serious when it comes to my safety."

Noah was obviously stiff from nerves, but didn't let it affect his words. "Ah, it seems like you
two have a good relationship then! It's always nice to see siblings get along. You're not
affected by his aura? I've been told you're an F rank."

Yoojin scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"I've never been scared of Yoohyun. He's my baby brother and I trust him more than anyone
in the world. He makes my days brighter. I didn't realize I was supposed to be scared of him.
I assumed that siblings don't get affected by each other's auras. Was I mistaken?"

Noah laughed softly, a hint of bitterness audible through his tone.

"I can assure you that's not the case. Most of the time it doesn't matter if they're both on the
lower side of the ranks, but even an A and S rank can have problems with the difference in
power. It's why you should cherish your relationship with your brother all the more. It truly is
a miracle."

A worrying sentence. Yoojin had no idea he could have been scared of Yoohyun if things had
worked out a little differently. But it was also clear Noah had also suffered from a rank
difference.

It was odd for an S rank because Yoojin would have assumed from Noah's tone that he was
on the less powerful side.

But Yoojin couldn't get too distracted. One win was that Yoohyun was basically preening
about having their relationship be approved of. Noah wasn't done being tested, but he had
cleared a big hurdle. The interview continued.

"Noah, could you tell me how long you've been a hunter and your experience? I'm sure you're
capable since Hyunjae brought you here, but I'd like to get to know more about you. I'd like
to establish mutual trust if possible."

With a transition from a depressed to an excited face, Noah quickly answered.

"I've been a hunter for two years now and I was a guild master for Ark Guild which focused
on hunters with support abilities. I've completed several types of dungeons from F to A rank,
with a certification to use my healing ability when necessary. I'm certain my Heal skill was
the main reason I was chosen to be your chaperone. An immediate first aid option is always
good to prioritize."
Yoohyun had become grumpy once again and decided to butt in. "What's the point of a Heal
if you can't stop that bastard from hurting my Hyung? How would you handle a situation
where Sung Hyunjae attacked?"

Noah wilted a bit before straightening with determination. "In case of attack I might not be
able to subdue an S rank like Sung Hyunjae, but I'm confident in my ability to remove myself
and Yoojin from an altercation faster than others could follow. I have enough strength to
protect Yoojin long enough to escape and return him to a safe place."

Yoohyun crossed his arms. "And how can I believe you? It's not like I know the skills you'll
be using. How can I be sure your plan would work?"

Yoojin put his hand on Yoohyuns shoulder to calm him down. Noah's stress was easy to see.

"Hey Yoohyun, you know it's rude to ask for people's specific skills. I bet it's better to have
them as a surprise from the enemy, yeah? We need to protect my new bodyguard's
information."

Yoojin turned towards Noah. "Would you happen to have any contracts to make sure your
information won't get leaked from us? We will be happy to sign it."

With a nervous smile Noah revealed the NDAs he prepared. After signing and learning his
skills it was easy to iron out the details for the job contract. Noah being able to turn into a
dragon was quite useful. But Yoojin still felt bad for relying on a younger person. He had to
know.

"Noah, I know it might be rude to ask but could I know your age? You seem a bit young to be
interested in chaperoning me and Hyunjae. I guess I'm simply curious about what made you
apply."

Noah rubbed his neck bashfully. "Well I don't really mind. It's kind of nice having someone
care about my past like this. I'm nineteen and I guess the best way to put it is this job also
gives me the benefit of Sung Hyunjae’s protection. The saying of 'the enemy of my enemy is
my friend' can be applied here I think."

He suddenly became nervous and started waving his hands frantically. "Not that I wouldn't
save Yoojin if he was attacked! I just meant that as long as this contract lasts I also benefit."

Nineteen. A year younger than Yoohyun. How crazy it is to see how much kids can grow. It
was worrying that Noah felt like he needed Sung Hyunjae’s power, but Yoojin wasn't going
to judge. He was using Noah's strength for himself after all.

Yoojin smiled. "Thank you for answering. You've accomplished many things in a short period
of time. I'll be happy to have your protection."

Noah's flushed pink and bowed gratefully. It seemed like everything was sorted out properly.

With all the papers signed and the schedule of the next week confirmed, Noah headed out.
Yoohyun was obviously relieved to see him go.
 The minute they were alone Yoojin put Yoohyun into a headlock and violently ruffled his
hair.

"Hey Yoohyun, you were so aggressive! Poor Noah was practically a nervous wreck! He's a
year younger than you, so you need to be nice to him!"

Yoohyun grumbled. "If he was too scared of me, what chance would he have against that
bastard? I had to make sure he was strong enough to protect you. He just barely passed, but
I'm still worried about Hyung. Anyway, he's only a year younger than me."

Aw, Yoohyun was still a sweetheart. But he wasn't getting away with being mean to a kid.

Yoojin patted Yoohyun’s back.

"Well despite your good intentions, you were mean to poor Noah. Your punishment this time
is that I'll be inviting Sung Hyunjae to the dungeon raid we were talking about for Yerim,
Myeongwoo and me. You guys are going to have to get along."

"Hyung!"

The look of betrayal Yoohyun gave Yoojin was almost enough to make him take it back.

Yoo Myeongwoo bowed as he held out a handmade lunch towards Taewon.

“Thank you for all your help!”

Taewon struggled to respond, awkwardly taking the lunch but not saying a word. Until he
realized that Myeongwoo wouldn’t stop bowing until some form of acknowledgement was
made. Taewon cleared his throat.

“...Thank you. It wasn’t any trouble.”

Myeongwoo straightened and beamed so brightly Taewon's stiff shoulders relaxed slightly.
And then immediately stiffened again at the involuntary response. It was confusing.
Myeongwoo wasn't dangerous, but in his presence Taewon would occasionally let his guard
down. An amateur response.

Maybe in another place he would have welcomed this change. But Taewon was at the
television studio to work, and he knew better than anyone that Sung Hyunjae was not to be
trusted. Han Yoojin deserved the best security.

Taewon turned to see Yoojin in the front of the studio openly laughing at him as he leaned on
Sung Hyunjae, who was trembling from holding in his own chuckle.

…Perhaps they were meant for each other. But for now, Taewon had to be on top of
everything. He couldn't slack off because of a little ridicule. He still had to help the new hire
Noah get used to the work around the studio.

Myeongwoo had run off after his response, Taewon standing alone with a lunch in hand. He
had to get it together. Keep his aura in, but be ready for anything. Controlled restraint to keep
the monster in check.

After making his rounds, it was time for filming to start. Noah was to patrol the outside
perimeter while Taewon kept an eye on Sung Hyunjae. He had a higher likelihood of being
able to subdue a fellow S rank, as he had more experience in fighting them. Taewon would
make sure everything ran smoothly.
The host Park Jihyo was lively as she started the introduction.

"Welcome back to Hi Hello Romance! I hope you all are ready for a good time, because we
are here to bring back our newest couple! Sung Hyunjae, Han Yoojin, how are you feeling
today?"

Yoojin brightened as he hugged Sung Hyunaje’s arm.

"I'm happy to be able to spend more time with Hyunjae! He's so busy that times like these are
precious. Though now that we have made some changes I hope that will improve soon!"

Yoojin failed to notice the fond smile on his boyfriend's face, but Taewon was sure multiple
cameras caught it full force. He was somewhat looking forward to the public reaction.
Taewon knew better than anyone that Sung Hyunjae would either love or completely despise
the attention. He was hoping for the latter. Some people needed to suffer a bit, and Sung
Hyunjae was definitely one of them.

Jihyo wasn't afraid to take advantage of the good atmosphere. She leaned in as if waiting for
a secret.

"Sung Hyunjae, are there any new developments you'd like to share with us? Since last week
was so… hectic."

Sung Hyunjae chuckled, draping himself over Yoojin’s back. "I'm sorry to say the answer to
my question is still delayed, but the family has gotten bigger! My darling has learned to tame
a flaming horned lion. Isn't he too alluring? He should accept my proposal so I can make sure
he's only mine."

Yoojin blushed and swatted at Sung Hyunjae behind him, but made no move to escape the
body hanging over him. Yoojin could protest all he liked, but it was obvious to anyone
watching how much he cared.

Jihyo laughed and commented how the two of them were a cute couple. Taewon was
skeptical, but it was truly none of his business. After all the pleasantries were finished, Jihyo
turned to the camera.

"As the audience might be guessing, today we have a guest to help get our couple closer!
Please give it up for Yoo Myeongwoo!"

Cue given, Myeongwoo hesitantly stepped onto the set with slightly hunched shoulders.
Luckily, Yoojin made small encouraging hand gestures that emboldened Myeongwoo to stand
a little taller. He bowed toward Jihyo and then the camera.

"Thank you for having me!" Myeongwoo sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, and
Taewon couldn’t help but notice the soft blush on his face. "Yoojin and I are acquaintances,
so I'm grateful he gave me this opportunity to help him out. Today we will be having a
cooking lesson. Though I've been told it will be a little different?"

Myeongwoo looked to Jihyo for confirmation.

"Yes!" Jihyo gave a mischievous smile to the camera. "In fact the special addition will be
very easy to do since our lovely couple is doing all the work for us! Can we get the handcuffs
please?"

Yoojin gave Jihyo an alarmed stare while Sung Hyunjae didn't react at all, happy in his
position. A crew member went and handcuffed each of Yoojin’s wrists with one of Sung
Hyunaje’s. A puppet with his hands-on puppeteer.

He thought this had gruesome connotations, but it soon became obvious who the real person
in charge was. Taewon focused on Myeongwoo whenever he could get away with it, trying to
ignore all the flirting the couple did as they cooked. It was a difficult endeavor.

Taewon would watch Myeongwoo gently explain how to sautée the onions and right before
he was done-

"Darling why are you so focused on the food when I'm right here? Am I less attractive than
the onion?"
Sung Hyunjae rested his head on top of Yoojin’s while the other struggled to move under his
weight.

"I'm not sure if you remember love, but this is actually a challenge we need to complete. I'd
like to at least do well. If my S rank boyfriend can't help an F rank like me succeed what's the
point? Why should I marry you when you're so unreliable, hm?"

“It’s not like we get a reward for successfully cooking a delicious dish. I can get you any
reward you want myself if you give me the attention I need. I am deficient in love from my
darling, how cruel.”

Yoojin sighed. “Oh you’re so ridiculous, why on Earth do I like you? Here, how about this.”
He whispered into Sung Hyunjae’s ear for a minute.

He perked up instantly. “Darling, you have given me plentiful motivation. I didn’t know you
had such great ideas. I’m looking forward to them later.”

Sung Hyunjae immediately turning compliant was a sight to see. It felt more as if Yoojin was
the puppeteer, treating his puppet gently but firmly. Their relationship didn’t seem unhealthy,
but Taewon was certain it wasn’t the kind of relationship he desired. He glanced at
Myeongwoo smiling happily at Yoojin.

Not that he wanted a relationship.

Soon enough the filming was over, with Yoojin and Sung Hyunjae successfully completing
their dish. It had ended with a comfortable atmosphere with everyone on camera trying both
dishes and declaring that Myeongwoo’s food was superior.

With his job done, Taewon got ready to head back to the Association. Noah had returned for
bodyguard duty and was currently suffering from Sung Hyunjae’s glare. It had yet to be a
problem, so Taewon was going to leave while he could still ignore it.
 That was until Myeongwoo came up to him and bowed once more.

“Thank you once again for helping me. I got here with the support of several people, and
your assistance meant a lot to me. Could I please give you my number? Feel free to contact
me if you’re having trouble. I’ll do everything in my power to solve it.”

This time, Myeongwoo had the courage to keep eye contact with him. The determination in
his frame made it clear that he couldn’t be persuaded to give up. Taewon needed to try
anyway. He couldn’t risk Myeongwoo making him complacent.

“What if I just message you for random things that don’t matter? Or I ask for favors you can’t
complete. I could treat you like the dirt I walk on. Should you be troubling yourself like
this?”

“Yes, I think it would be worth getting to know you.” Myeongwoo smiled awkwardly and
held out a hand. Taewon reluctantly gave it over and watched as a new contact was made. “I
believe you’re a good person, Song Taewon. I want to repay the kindness you showed me.”

Returning the phone, Myeongwoo blushed and called out as he quickly scurried away. “I
hope you enjoy the lunch!”

Taewon was left alone once more, with a new contact and confusion over the enigma that was
Yoo Myeongwoo.

He was looking forward to lunch.

 Hello, Handcuffs
Chapter Notes

HEY GUYS IM MAKING AN S CLASS BIG BANG MORE DETAILS BELOW. I

hope you enjoy the chapter! It's a smut one if you couldn't tell lol.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

"If you behave, I'll wear an exciting outfit the next time we're alone."

Yoojin regretted his words immensely as he adjusted his outfit for the last time. He had
hidden away in Hyunjae’s bathroom with the excuse of the outfit being a surprise, but he was
beginning to have doubts.

Maybe the maid outfit was too much. The petticoat made him slightly more comfortable with
the tiny length of the skirt, but he felt ridiculous. He wasn't meant for costumes like these.
The stockings and garter were fine, but the puffed sleeves and choker with a bell made him
feel like a child.

But he had to face the consequences of his actions. Yoojin took a deep breath and opened the
door, instantly flinching at the sight of Hyunjae leaning on the door frame.

He flailed his hands in embarrassment.

"Couldn't you have done something other than waiting?!"

Hyunjae smirked and slowly looked over Yoojin from head to toe.

"I simply had to see you as soon as possible. I can say now that it was worth it. What a
wonderful gift this is for me, darling."

Yoojin crossed his arms and turned away, noting the heat in his cheeks.

"I have no idea what you're talking about love, it doesn't suit me at all. I'll still count it as
your gift though. I don't want to have to do this again."

Hyunjae came up behind him and wrapped his arms completely around Yoojin’s waist.

"But darling, how could you deprive me of something this seductive? I'm full of anticipation
to slowly undress you like this."

Hyunjae’s hand snuck under the skirt to trail up Yoojin’s thigh and seized his cock through
his underwear.
Yoojin let out a whimper at the rough touch, but still leaned back onto Hyunjae to keep
himself from collapsing onto the floor.

"Ah! You jerk, we're not even on your bed yet."

He gripped Hyunjae’s arms desperately to keep himself upright, but the hand on his cock
made that almost impossible. Yoojin bit his lip to muffle his moans as Hyunjae stroked him
roughly.

A deep voice whispered in his ear as Yoojin did his best to keep a clear head.

"Darling, you're so attractive like this. I can feel the lace under my hand, you must have
dressed nicely for me. I'm grateful as your partner. If we only need a bed for me to touch you,
I can fix that."

Before Yoojin knew it he was picked up and lightly thrown on the bed, his back melting into
the expensive mattress. His cock was finally free of stimulation, but his embarrassment was
heightened immensely. Hyunjae had immediately flipped up his petticoat and skirt while
spreading Yoojin’s legs to expose him completely.

The desire on Hyunjae’s face made Yoojin shudder, and he could sense the precum making
his underwear damp. He suddenly regretted choosing white lace to match the apron.

Yoojin put an arm over his eyes, so he could ignore how pathetic it was to open his legs
further to give Hyunjae a better view. The mortification from being exposed was swiftly
washed away by his demand to have Hyunjae caress him and desire him as much as possible.

"Love, if you don't want this to be the last time I dress like this, you better pleasure me
enough that it'll be worth it. I don't do charity cases."

Hyunjae paused before speaking, making Yoojin curious enough to move his arm and freeze
at the soft smile on his face. His heart sped up uncontrollably and he needed Hyunjae to
touch him right now.

Caressing Yoojin’s face, Hyunjae quickly tugged his petticoat off and kneeled between his
legs.

"As you wish, darling."

Hyunjae leaned down to mouth at Yoojin’s cock through his underwear, sucking and licking
to thoroughly soak it. Yoojin covered his mouth to muffle his gasps, but nothing could be
done to stop the way his body trembled.

It wasn't long before Hyunjae reached his limit and quickly ripped Yoojin’s lace underwear
off with his teeth. The lace in shreds, Hyunjae tossed the scrap behind him and reached for
the lube on the nightstand. He quickly resumed sucking Yoojin’s cock and began to finger
him slowly.

The stimulation was making Yoojin dizzy, but he wasn’t going to complain. He was full of
elation and pleasure, as if Hyunjae’s feelings were mixed with his own. He felt wanted,
desired and pleasured all at once. He didn't want it to end.

However, once Hyunjae entered a second finger, Yoojin knew he would cum if this went on.
He grabbed Hyunjae’s hair to lift him off his cock.

"Love, we don't have a lot of time. Noah's waiting outside remember? Chaperone duties can
only go so far. You can't make me cum all alone."

Hyunjae pouted. "I was hoping my darling would be lenient and give me more time if he
came alone, but I've been found out. Why care about Noah, this is his job anyway."

Yoojin bent forward, slapping at Hyunjae’s shoulders. "I don't want poor Noah to hear what
he doesn't have to! He's just a child- Ah!"

He covered his mouth again while Hyunjae inserted a third finger. The bastard just had to be
sneaky this time.

But they had to finish together. Yoojin wouldn't take no for an answer. He also had taken
precautions.

He reached under the pillow to grab the pair of S rank handcuffs Song Taewon had given
him. Hyunjae had used his other hand to hold down Yoojin’s hip so it was simple to cuff his
hands together. All he had to do was wait for Hyunjae to bend down to suck his cock again
and that distraction was enough.

The lack of surprise on Hyunjae’s face was suspicious, but the curiosity he had instead was
cute enough that Yoojin overlooked it. It had nothing to do with the way he enjoyed the
image of Hyunjae being under his control.

Hyunjae lightly played with the cuffs, tugging them until the chain had no more give.

"Darling, what are these for? I don't think these belong in the bedroom."

Yoojin smirked, guiding Hyunjae to sit up against the headboard.

"They're to make sure you're a good boy while I take control. Handcuffs can be used in the
bedroom, but usually they aren't that strong. But my darling deserves the best, and we need to
finish quickly. You can enjoy the show while I do all the work."

Hyunjae started to protest, but stilled once Yoojin lifted his skirt to his mouth and bit down.
Leaking cock on full display, Yoojin easily released Hyunjae's straining member from his
clothes. He positioned himself properly, and slowly lowered himself onto the head, keeping a
hand on the base to make sure it went in.

Guiding Hyunjae’s cock inside of him, Yoojin groaned at the stretch. He loved the heat
Hyunjae radiated and he needed to be full now. He dropped completely, encasing Hyunjae’s
cock up to the base.

The stimulation was so intense Yoojin cried out, noise muffled by the skirt. Hyunjae grunted,
reaching out to press on the new bulge on Yoojin’s stomach. He cried out, the flash of heat
 making him press down heavily to get more pressure on the spot inside him making him see
stars.

He grabbed Hyunjae’s shoulders and rocked his hips with all his strength, drool dripping
down his chin with the skirt unable to absorb any more liquid.

Hyunjae leaned over to kiss and suck at Yoojin’s neck, which would definitely leave hickey's
later. But it was alright, since Yoojin liked the devotion each kiss left. As if Hyunjae was
confessing all over again.

Yoojin’s cock was ready to burst, but he refused to cum alone. Hyunjae wasn't the only one
who could whisper. He rocked back down and tightened as much as possible.

Leaning over he growled in Hyunjae’s ear.

"You're mine."

They both came at once and Yoojin collapsed onto Hyunjae’s chest, with no energy left inside
him. He wished he could stay full like this for another hour, but he knew they had to clean up
soon. Yoojin closed his eyes and nuzzled Hyunjae's neck, being calmed by the mint and
lavender scent.

A few minutes later, Yoojin had enough energy to get up, unlock Hyunjae’s handcuffs and
start shoving him off the bed. Until he realized he no longer had underwear to use for his
regular outfit.

Yoojin demanded Hyunjae give up his own boxers, since it was his fault. With a bit of teasing
Hyunjae handed them over, looking annoyingly smug once Yoojin was done changing.

Reaching out to pull Hyunjae closer, Yoojin demanded to know what was making him pull
such a face.

Hyunjae grinned stupidly.

"I was thinking I could spend the rest of my life like this."

Yoojin didn't have a reply for that. Or, maybe he did.

"I love you too."

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Hi Hello Romance was getting an increasing number of views as time went on. More and
more people were watching, if only to get the latest news on the country’s most famous S
class. Yoojin hated the attention, but he was grateful for the fact most of it was focused on
Hyunjae. Or, it had been focused on Hyunjae until their latest episode where the world met
Peace and Yoojin met Moon Hyuna.

The entire filming of the episode was fine, Peace was a darling and Hyunjae was only a little
bit of a bastard. Yoojin just didn’t understand why Moon Hyuna had to call him “the father of
her child” and create a terrible new catchphrase for everyone who wanted him to raise their
pets.

People didn't realize this, but S classes gossiped with each other a lot. They were always in
competition with each other and they spied on each other constantly, although they always
hid their own important information. This meant that trivial information was easily found and
reported. Information like the new embarrassing catch phrase S rankers were using on
Yoojin.

Yoojin himself didn't realize this until he was brainstorming date ideas with Hyunjae. His
boyfriend had looked up other hunters' famous dates because he was determined to show
them all up.

The only reason Yoojin didn't complain was because he honestly had fun listening to
relationship drama that wasn't his own. Especially with extra details Hyunjae’s personal
network found. Eventually Hyunjae also started bringing regular hunter drama to entertain
Yoojin.

He felt embarrassed at being caught, but also appreciated that Hyunjae had paid him enough
attention to notice. And well, the drama was very interesting.

Now that Yoojin had some attention of his own, he learned Hyunjae loved to make a scene
dramatic as possible. The moment he learned about the “father of my child” phrase, he was
elated. Hyunjae used it whenever he could, in front of as many people as possible. Yoojin
was sure it would become a meme once a new episode of Hi Hello Romance aired.
The only reason Yoojin didn't put a stop to it was because of Yerim. Since they basically had
adopted Yerim together, she was the main reason Hyunjae ever used the phrase.

Hyunjae would hug Yerim while asking Yoojin for whatever activity he desired to do
together.

“Darling, won't you have a picnic date with me? As the father of our child you have to make
sure we have a good relationship to keep Yerim happy.”

“Love, you and Yerim should move in with me. Even if you won't be engaged with me yet, as
the father of our child you should know Yerim would benefit living in a house with all of us
together. I'll even accept Yoohyun if I must.”

“Yoojin, won't you ditch Noah for a while to have some fun with me? As the father of our
child don't you think Yerim deserves another sibling?”

Yerim cringed at the last favor, but every other time she would melt into Hyunjae’s arms with
a small smile on her face. She liked being reminded that she was part of the family now.
Yoojin couldn't take that away from her.

There was also a part of Yoojin that preened at being reminded that he did have a family now.
He was taking care of them and he would make sure no harm would come to them. He didn't
have his baby back, but every time Hyunjae joked about adding another sibling it reassured
Yoojin. He wouldn't be left behind when he finally became pregnant again.

Hyunjae leaving wasn't the end of the world as long as Yoojin’s baby returned. But Hyunjae
was invading and becoming an inseparable part of his life. When Yoojin imagined his family,
Hyunjae was part of it.

If he ever lost Hyunjae, Yoojin knew he'd suffer. It quite honestly made him glad for the
constant affection Hyunjae showered him with, despite his antics. Yoojin was even
considering accepting the proposal earlier than he planned, though he wouldn't make it easy.

It was how they worked.

Hyunjae was the only one who could get away with that terrible phrase though. The fact that
he spread it so everyone else started using it was the current reason Yoojin had banned him
from dates together for the week.

Hyunjae had pouted but didn't fight the issue.

Yoojin was tired from the attention, but he was more worried about what had happened in the
training dungeon the day before. Weird system notifications, bosses being higher leveled than
they should be, it was extremely suspicious. And similar to how he lost Yoohyun before.
He’d never let that happen again.

Luckily this time Yoohyun, Yerim and Noah could take the monster down, but if this kept
occuring the danger would likely increase exponentially. Poor Myeongwoo was still
traumatized from the whole affair.
 Yoojin was told to take a break for a day because of the incident, but he couldn't sit still. So
he left the house to go buy groceries to make dinner. Yerim was still at school and Noah was
off duty, so Yoojin had promised to stay inside.

However, he was too trapped in his apartment with nothing to do. Yoojin figured groceries
wouldn't be breaking the rules too badly. Despite the attention he got from Hi Hello
Romance, most of it had been focused on Hyunjae and Peace. Yoohyun was just overly
paranoid.

But maybe he was right to be paranoid. Not because of groceries, but the very next day when
Yoojin went to visit Peace the guards were acting suspiciously. Yoojin gave them the benefit
of the doubt, but once he saw the smoke that knocked out Peace he immediately tried to
escape.

It had been a group of guards and they had been prepared, so he couldn't fight back for long.
As he fell unconscious from his lack of mana he could feel an invisible part of himself
reaching for something he couldn't see.

Yoojin couldn't tell if it reached in time, but he knew his family would come for him. And
then it was dark.

Hyunjae flinched in his seat, checking for danger and finding nothing. But there was an
instinct in his head, warning him. He wasn't about to dismiss it and regret it later.

Pulling out his phone, he selected the contact that said “My Darling’s Pet”. As soon as the
call connected, Hyunjae started questioning.

“Yoohyun. Where is Yoojin right now?”

Chapter End Notes

I realized really quickly I wasn't going to change much of canon in terms of kidnapping,
the dungeon training, and the peace show episode, so I skipped over that so I can finally
get to the juicy stuff! And my plans rip theyre still so far away. Hope you enjoyed and if
you didn't uhhhh blame the fact I was gone for 6 months I need to get into the groove.
Have a nice day!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Han Yoojin had been kidnapped.

Hyunjae was slowly losing his mind.

He was focused on moving his and Yoohyun’s forces to find Yoojin, but in the back of his
mind there was an instinct screaming at him that his partner was unsafe and that he needed to
move now. And as time went on, Hyunjae could feel himself succumbing more to that
instinct.

The only reason he hadn’t immediately started the search himself was for Yerim. The poor
girl was distraught about possibly losing Yoojin. He couldn’t leave her alone until they at
least had a lead.

Yerim was determined to help the investigation with whatever they needed, even telling
Hyunjae that she could read corpse memories. A part of Hyunjae wanted to take Yerim up on
the offer. He usually had Evelyn for these matters, but she was too far away to use.

But when he had gone to respond and give his approval to Yerim, all he could see was the
moment she gained her S rank hunter status. Yerim had recently moved in with Yoojin and
was still unsure of her place with him. She would thank Hyunjae and Yoojin for food,
clothing, blankets, and other necessities that made it obvious how much she had been
mistreated.

It made Hyunjae casually make a plan on how to ruin her uncle’s life after officially getting
Yerim into Yoojin’s custody. However, he had no idea on how to comfort her. All he could do
was provide the money for whatever Yerim wanted and try to interact with her. It worked
somewhat, though Hyunjae knew it would take a while for her to trust him.

Of course, Yoojin was able to understand what Yerim needed.

One day after Yerim had thanked them for escorting her to school, Yoojin had smiled with his
arms wide open. “Hey, I love you too.”
Yerim had instantly teared up and hugged Yoojin tightly. It didn’t last long, Hyunjae sensed
her awakening as an S rank and separated them as Yerim started cracking the pavement.
Yoojin would have been the next casualty.

They had called Yerim out of school so she could get used to her powers, and Hyunjae was
able to bond with her more by teaching her how to control her strength. She learned quickly
and he was sure Yerim would be able to surpass other S ranks with additional training.

She would be strong enough to find Yoojin.

But Hyunjae realized he didn’t want his daughter to look at a corpse.

Yerim was a lovely girl who suffered and preserved through her life and she was only
fourteen years old. Even if she could handle it, Hyunjae wanted it to be the last resort. He
knew Yoojin would agree with him, which only strengthened his resolve.

Hyunjae tried to comfort Yerim by putting a hand on her shoulder. Her bewildered face said
he wasn’t that successful.
“Yerim. I know you can use your power well, and that you’d be great at finding Yoojin.
However, I don’t want my daughter to look at dead bodies even with supervision. I’m sure
Yoojin agrees with me. We will do it as a last resort, but I don’t want this to be the first thing
we try.”

Yerim was fighting her tears as she clutched onto Hyunjae’s suit.

“I need to help! How else are we going to find Yoojin! I can’t lose another dad!”

Yerim didn’t seem to realize her words as she crashed into Hyunjae for a hug, and he made
sure to hold her tightly. “We were able to catch a few clues about where Yoojin is since we
were able to notice his kidnapping early on. It’s not hopeless. I promise I’m not willing to
lose my fiance any more than you’re willing to lose another family member.”

Hyunjae’s comment made Yerim laugh, as he intended. Perhaps his parenting skills have
finally improved.

“Yoojin’s not your fiance yet, despite asking him to marry you on reality television. Are you
sure we can find him in time?”

Suddenly, the instinct in his head that was demanding he find his partner became louder and
more distinct. As if it was giving Hyunjae a location. There was no basis of Yoojin being
there, but Hyunjae had learned early on to trust his instincts as an S rank.

“I’m sure we will. In fact, I have discovered a new lead to help us find my unfortunate
partner. Yoojin will be home soon.”

He would make sure of it. For both of them.

It was simple to get the manpower needed to collect Yoojin. All Hyunjae had to do was
summon Yoohyun to get rid of any obstacles in their way while he focused on finding Yoojin.
Hyunjae hadn’t let Yerim notice, but the screaming need inside his head to find Yoojin was
getting close to debilitating. If he was alone, Hyunjae probably would have destroyed
everything in his path on the way to find his partner.

Yoohyun didn’t even complain about being the muscle, only focused on saving Yoojin.
Hyunjae’s only trouble was trying to find a distinct location through a new demanding
instinct in his head. He could get the direction where Yoojin was easily, but distance was
difficult. Hyunjae noticed his instinct got louder the closer he was, but it would take too
much time to rely only on that.

Luckily after checking a map, it was obvious Yoojin had been taken to a port. From then on it
was a question of how long it would take to get there. Yoohun ended up using his willow
leaves skill, unhappily dragging Hyunjae as a personal radar to make sure they weren’t
mistaken.

He would have enjoyed making fun of Yoohyun for helping out his future brother-in-law, but
the screaming need in his head had suddenly added sorrow to the mix. Hyunjae knew Yoojin
wouldn’t be alright after this kidnapping.

Soon enough, it was obvious where Yoojin was held. Hyunjae could sense the poison energy
emanating from a warehouse next to the sea. The moment Yoohyun tossed him to the ground,
he followed the pounding inside his head and ran toward Yoojin.

Breaking any wall in his way and uncaring of the poison all over the floor, he made it to
Yoojin in under a minute.

Yoojin was passed out in a cage with Peace, the monster growling at him to stay away.
Hyunjae respected how it tried to protect its owner, but he had waited for too long. He had no
patience to deal with anything keeping him from Yoojin.

Hyunjae found himself growling back, making Peace retreat.

It was a surprise to the both of them, Peace acknowledging Hyunjae’s claim to back off and
the fact Hyunjae growled in the first place. He didn’t care enough to find the reason why, at
least not while Yoojin was in front of him.

He carefully pulled Yoojin into his arms, checking for any major injuries. Yoojin had several
bruises and cuts, but that seemed to be the worst of it. Yoojin groaned and shifted as he
started to come to.

When Yoojin opened his eyes and smiled sleepily at Hyunjae, the screaming in his head was
finally silenced.

Yoojin cupped Hyunjae’s face and gave it a light smack.

“What took you so long?”

Hyunjae could only smile back.

“I had to take care of our daughter of course.”

thought we were going to get to the juicy bit this chapter and I was wrong :( I had to do
things here URGH. But I did have fun this chapter so I hope you all enjoy! Will have a
question for everyone at the end!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin was going to die of embarrassment. It was one thing to pretend to be asleep so no one
would suspect he was the one who killed the assholes who kidnapped him, but Hyunjae was
taking the ‘overprotective husband’ role too far. The constant hovering and meddling was
getting on his nerves.

Hyunjae wasn’t even his husband! Yet. Yoojin was giving it more consideration as time went
on. With the recent development of how Hyunjae kept Yerim from using her power on
corpses, he was earning Yoojin’s trust and belief in him.

That Hyunjae would help take care of their baby as well.

But that was a problem for another day. Right now, Yoojin was trying very hard to forget
about Inky, who sacrificed her life. This wasn’t the first time he lost a living being he
influenced by far, however it was the first time in this timeline.

And with how Yoojin lost Yoohyun, the death hit even harder. He was responsible for a
monster under his influence dying for him. These two instances were too similar for his peace
of mind.

Yoojin couldn’t even get comfort from his baby as he usually did. The regression might not
have killed his baby, but they still weren’t here. There was only one thing left to do to forget
all his worries.

Get super drunk.

It was probably the only time Yoojin would be able to get away with turning off his poison
resistance, since once he was finally pregnant again he wouldn’t be able to drink anymore.
Yoojin couldn’t do anything to jeopardize his baby.

He wasn’t pregnant now, so everything was fair game as long as Yoojin didn’t do it long
term. It was time to drink his worries away.
And maybe influence some Hunters while he was at it. Yoojin wracked his brain for people
he could invite for a drinking party, until he realized he could throw that work onto Hyunjae,
who was still hovering over him with Yoohyun as they headed back to Yoojin’s apartment.
He might as well give Hyunjae something to do.

Yoojin put on a depressed face and gave Hyunjae a pleading look.

“Darling, this day was so stressful that I just want to drink the night away with friends. Could
you set that up for me? If you have to get security that’s fine too, but I really need this.”

Yoohyun scowled. “Hyung, it’s too dangerous! You just got kidnapped! We figured out that
MKC switched the people Choi Sukwon meant to send, but who knows who else is after you.
You have to be careful.”

Knowing he had to put on a performance worthy of convincing Yoohyun, Yoojin wore a

desperate face. “Yoohyun, I need to have a nice memory to combat this traumatic day. You
could handpick the security if you have to. I only…” He sniffled, eyes teary. “Wish to feel
like I’m okay again.”

Apparently the tears were enough for both of them, since Hyunjae immediately hugged
Yoojin to his chest. “Don’t worry dear, I’ll throw the best drinking party you could ask for.
Who are the people you want to invite? I’ll make sure to get it done.”

Yoojin wondered why Hyunjae was so affectionate, but he wasn’t going to waste an
opportunity. “I want Myeongwoo and Noah for sure, and maybe some other bodyguards I’m
familiar with. And you and Yoohyun of course. Only people I trust.”

Yoohyun snorted. “You shouldn’t trust that bastard as far as you can throw him. Hyung, I
know you’re dating him, but you could really do better than him. His only good trait was how
quickly he was able to find you.”

Hyunjae ignored the jab. “I’ll have the party ready in three hours. For now, let’s reassure our
daughter that you’re fine.”

When they reached the apartment, Yerim came running out to tackle Yoojin into a hug.
“Yoojin, you’re okay! I was so worried, please never do that again.” She sniffled and wiped
away her tears. “I can’t lose you.”

The guilt punched Yoojin in the gut hard and he winced, hugging Yerim back tightly. Don’t
worry Yerim, I’m not going to leave anytime soon. I’ll be careful, promise.”

Yerim gripped his jacket tightly and glared. “You better! Or you’ll find out how much a
teenager can control their dad. It won’t be fun, I can promise you that.”

Yoojin’s body filled with warmth and he couldn’t help but smile. “I guess I can’t chance my
daughter making a fuss when she shouldn’t have to. Now, why don’t we all eat together.”

Groaning, Yerim let Yoojin go to bicker with Yoohyun, but didn’t disagree. Yoojin had both
of them help him prepare dinner, and only three appliances shattered as they fought. Hyunjae
started verbal fights with Yoohyun, but not physical. It was a peaceful end of the evening.

When it was time to head to the bar Yerim begged to join, but Yoojin was firm in his
decision. He didn’t want to be drunk in front of his daughter, and she needed to rest. Hyunjae
even got Kang Soyoung to watch her while they were gone. Yerim would be taken care of.

The party in the bar began slowly, as everyone was fussing over Yoojin to make sure he was
okay. Kim Sunghan, Song Taewon, Noah, Myeongwoo, even Moon Hyuna. After countless
repeats of saying he was fine, Yoojin declared he would get extremely drunk and that no one
could stop him.

This was untrue and even Myeongwoo knew that, but it lightened the mood and everyone
began to drink and chat with each other. Yoojin only had eyes for the booze. He turned off his
poison resistance and drank enough that it was hard to see straight, only feeling the pleasant
buzz of being drunk.

And then it was time to enact his plan. Yoojin started off with Hyunjae, who the keyword was
easier to use on. He wrapped his arms around Hyunjae’s neck and leaned close to kiss him
softly.

Hyunjae grinned and held Yoojin’s waist. “That was a nice surprise. What’s the occasion?”

Yoojin only smirked and replied, “No reason, I love you too.”

And then off he went to Myeongwoo, Song Taewon, Moon Hyuna, and Kim Sunghan to
repeat the same phrase over and over again. It was a relief Yoojin had the excuse of being
drunk, since it was much less embarrassing this way.

Nobody took him seriously, but the keyword was enough to do the job, since they all liked
him a decent amount.

Myeongwoo had actually awakened on his own, with his time on Hi Hello Romance inspiring
him to do more crafts and fulfilling his knife sharpening requirement through sheer passion
(and a bit of encouragement from Yoojin once he realized what was happening).

Yoojin hadn’t been able to implement the keyword on Myeongwoo throughout their
friendship, and now that Myeongwoo was a Hunter, it was time to step up. Myeongwoo
deserved the best of chances to grow, and Yoojin would give it to him.

Everything was going great, which was why Yoojin got complacent. He went up to Noah
after everyone else and repeated the same phrase drunkenly.

“Noah!!! Thanks for all your help! I love you too!”

The air went cold. The other Hunters in the room immediately turned towards Yoojin, sensing
the danger in the vicinity. Yoojin turned on his poison resistance out of instinct.

As Noah lunged toward Yoojin with his poison claws, he was tackled to the floor by Yoohyun
and Hyunjae. Both of them seemed ready to kill Noah in the next minute. Yoojin couldn’t let
that happen.
 This was his fault after all.

Yoojin briefly wondered about how awful the person who raised Noah was, but it was time to
take action. He stepped closer to grab Yoohyun’s and Hyunjae’s shoulders.

“You can’t kill him yet.”

Chapter Notes

GUESS WHOS BACK WITH A NEW CHAPTER? THIS GIRL!!! My laptop is broken
so I typed this all on my phone so if I have any typos pls tell me it's 2am I am tired.
Hope you all enjoy!!!!

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Yoojin knew he was working on borrowed time. He had to check that Noah wouldn't attack
anyone else but him. Nevermind convincing Hyunjae and Yoohyun that Noah was harmless,
it was a mission destined to fail.

With the property damage bound to happen, Yoojin had a feeling their entire group would be
banned from this bar later.

But that was a problem he could think about later. First Yoojin had to make sure it was his
own influence that caused Noah to attack.

My Little One is the Best was a skill Yoojin never had pre-regression. The only solid example
he had to work with was Yerim. He had no idea of the limits and influences his skill had.

Yerim told him that Yoojin felt like her previous neighbor who took care of her. She said they
weren't similar in personality or appearance, and had joked that their only trait in common
was that she knew they cared about her. Maybe his skill had a brainwashing effect.

As Yoojin eyed the S ranks surrounding Noah getting progressively ready to pounce, he
quickly began his plan. There was no time to waste.

Yoojin leaned forward to peer at Noah's face. “Noah. Who am I?”

Noah struggled in Hyunjae's and Yoohyun's hold, but his attempts to escape were fruitless.
His eyes were cloudy, as if he couldn't see properly. Eventually, he hung his head in defeat.

“You're Riette. I lost again. As always. I thought I could finally do it! Overcome my fear and
escape your clutches for good. You've never been so weak before in the entire time I've
known you as my sister. I should have known I could never win.” Noah began to cry silently,
tears dripping down his cheeks.

Fuck. Yoojin felt like shit.

It hit him all at once how Noah was a year younger than even Yoohyun, who Yoojin still
considered a child. This was no way to treat a traumatized kid, held to the ground and
humiliated. At least, not because of Yoojin’s mistake.
Yoojin wanted to move closer to Noah and console him, but the wall of Hyunjae and
Yoohyun was effective. Yoojin couldn't move forward without their approval. Certain
measures had to be taken.

With no remorse, Yoojin went for the easier target. He had been planning on doing this
anyway. Might as well make Hyunjae work for it. “Sung Hyunjae. If you let me take care of
Noah, I will agree to marry you right now. No more waiting. You can get it in writing if you
prefer. We can always have a ceremony later.”

Hyunjae froze, looking torn and slightly annoyed. “You sure know how to tempt me, darling.
However, I don't enjoy the fact you're going so far for another man. What is he to you?”

Yoojin scoffed. “Get over yourself, who's proposal am I accepting right now? Noah is just a
kid, not a romantic prospect. Get your mind out of the gutter and let me through.”

Yoohyun jumped in, face red with anger. “Hyung! Don't agree to marry this bastard already!
Make him beg you for fifty years at least. Maybe then he would have died of old age. And
don't forget I can also stop you!”

This was true. It was time to pull out the big guns. Yoojin knew his Yoohyun had only one
wish he could fulfill. It would be a pain, but Noah was the priority right now.

Yoojin sighed. “Yoohyun. If you let me calm Noah down I'll stay in the apartment for a week.
No escape attempts, not even grocery runs. You can stay with me and everyone else the entire
week to make sure. Maybe force me to take some safety courses.”

Yoohyun’s resolve visibly crumbled. “You'll even skip your appearance on Hi Hello
Romance? You'll be taking a proper break and not run around trying to take care of my
problems?

Yoojin smiled softly. “It'll be an inside vacation. I'm sure the show could understand Hyunjae
and I taking a week break for family reasons. Handle security however you like, but Yerim
has to stay. My maybe future husband can be negotiated, depending on whether he accepts
my current offer.”

Yoohyun pouted in defeat. “Hyung, you know I can't say no to that. But I'll hold Noah down
even if you think he won't attack you. I can't take any chances.”

Yoojin grumbled, but knew that was the best he could get. He turned to Hyunjae. “Yoohyun
won't let Noah go, but it's different for you. I'm not marrying you until you let him go. You're
an adult and Yoohyun can take care of any problems. Time is ticking, my offer can only be
accepted in the next minute.”

Hyunjae gave a pitiful frown, obviously full of bullshit. “Darling, you're so cruel. I have so
little time to worry about your safety with my greed in the way. You know I can't resist
having you. In fact, I shall call Jupiter Guild to hand me the marital papers immediately. I
have no time to waste. ”
Yoojin couldn't believe he was marrying this bastard. “Don't use your guild for personal
matters! Especially at this time of night. They should all be asleep or doing actual work on
the night shift!”

Hyunjae hummed, stepping away from Noah to kiss Yoojin lightly. “But my dear Yoojin, I
can't wait a second longer. Please marry me.”

Yoojin blushed, both embarrassed and happy. “You're ridiculous. I guess I have to marry you
so no one else has to deal with your nonsense. Anyways, we can talk later, I have to comfort
Noah. Maybe use that time to find a better way to get those papers.”

Hyunjae gave a brief salute. “Your wish is my command. I'll be nearby for whatever you
need, love.”

Yoojin ignored Hyunjae, but was unable to keep the smile off his face. He took a second to
calm himself. Yoojin had a kid to console.

Creeping closer to Noah, Yoojin cupped his cheeks gently. “Noah, I'm not Riette. I'm Han
Yoojin, the person you guard. Riette is not here and she can't hurt you. Not now, and never
again.”

Noah's eyes that had been cloudy before, slowly started to clear. “You promise?”

Yoojin stroked Noah's hair. “I promise. If you don't harm the people I care about, I'll protect
you.”

Noah sniffled. “I'm sorry I tried to attack you. I don't know what came over me. I promise I
won't harm anyone you care about.”

Yoojin winced. He couldn't explain his skill, but Noah deserved to know he wasn't to blame.
“Honestly, don't worry about it. I'm sure I accidently passed my drunken state to you with a
skill of mine. That's why I'm sober now, while you're still trembling. I'm sorry about that.”

Noah shook his head. “No. I should have better self control anyway. There's no excuse for
hurting people when they've done nothing wrong.”

Yoojin wanted to scream. But your sister obviously did! However, time was running out.
Yoojin would have to table that conversation for later.

In the next five minutes Song Taewon arrested Noah for the attack, causing Yoojin’s guilt to
run deeper than the ocean. There was nothing he could do, and Noah went willingly. It was a
small relief. Yoojin promised himself to clear up Noah's reputation as soon as his week of
isolation was finished.

Luckily, despite losing a valued bodyguard, Yoojin was met with some good news before
heading home.

Myeongwoo had created a bead that nullified physical damage.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

When Myeongwoo discreetly handed him the physical damage nullification bead, Yoojin
could only focus on the next time he could get Hyunjae alone. He was lucky Yerim was
asleep once he returned to the apartment, his mind was in such disarray Hyunjae had to be the
one to dismiss Kang Soyoung. All he could think about was how Hyunjae was too far away
and that they should be closer.

They weren’t even a foot apart. Yoojin could smell the mint and lavender perfume that
Hyunjae wore when they first slept together, which made his brain even dizzier than before.
He couldn’t understand why this was happening.

That was, until he took note of the state of his body. His ‘fever’ had returned.

He could feel the heat under his skin, desperate for release. Taking care of Noah had stopped
him from noticing the beginning of his ‘fever’, but it was in full force now. And that meant
Yoojin would get Hyunjae in his bed in the next ten minutes or he would go crazy.

Before the regression, Yoojin would have been fine finding someone random to sleep with.
The heat never got too annoying, but it was always better to have relief. Maybe because he
had a fiance now, the mere idea of sleeping with anyone other than Hyunjae repulsed him.

However, the ‘fevers’ have never been this bad before. This time it came about a month early
and Yoojin had never been so desperate to be held. As if he would tear apart anything that
stood in his way.

So when Hyunjae turned to leave, Yoojin immediately grabbed his arm. “Where do you think
you’re going?” He hissed through gritted teeth.

Hyunjae had the nerve to look confused but pleased. “Now that we don’t have a bodyguard, I
can’t stay overnight. Are you going to break your promise to your brother for me? Having my
fiance care about me this much is heartwarming.”

Yoojin smirked and held up the bead. “Being friends with the best blacksmith in the country
has its perks. I’m not breaking any promises tonight. I just need you to fuck me so hard I
forget everything that happened today.”

It wasn’t hard to convince Hyunjae to stay. “I had wanted to leave quickly, since I knew I
wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off of you, my dear. Of course I’ll keep you company
whenever you ask. But are you sure sex is what you need right now? I can tell how upset you
are from today’s events. It would be beneficial for you to talk about your worries.”

Scoffing, Yoojin turned his head away from Hyunjae’s concerned face. “What are you, my
therapist? That’s not your problem to worry about. I can get my comfort from sex instead of
talking.”

Hyunjae used both his hands to gently cup Yoojin’s cheeks and turn his head to look him in
the eye. “I might not be your therapist, but as your future husband I have every right to worry
about my spouse. Can’t you rely on me? I know the emotions you’re internalizing right at this
moment. Fear. Love. Grief. Lust. Will this not hurt you in the long run? I refuse to be the
cause of your pain.”

Yoojin winced, thinking clearly with the support of Hyunjae’s touch. “...How did you notice
what I was feeling? I’m not that transparent.”

Tilting his head, Hyunjae shrugged. “My darling has the skills of a great actor, but it’s as if
my body is instinctively aware of how to take care of you. I want to cherish you properly. Is
that so much to ask?”

Staring deeply into his eyes, Yoojin understood what Hyunjae meant. He could sense how
Hyunjae was worried for him, wanted to protect him. But the greatest emotion was love. And
with Yoojin being the only person in the room, it was all for him. It was impossible to
comprehend. And impossible to resist.

Yoojin briefly held back his tears to ask his most important question. “No matter what I do,
will you still love me anyway? Once you find out what a trashy human I am you aren’t
allowed to leave me.”

Hyunjae chuckled. “Dear, I could never leave you. To me, Yoojin is my most precious
treasure. The one I love. If you change, I’ll change with you. If you fall, I’ll pick you up. If
you betray me I’ll retaliate. I’ll do everything with you, as your husband. Now and forever.”

Unable to hold back his tears, Yoojin sniffled while smiling. “Did you just say your wedding
vows after I tried to sleep with you? I don’t think now is the right time.”

Hyunjae grinned. “On the contrary, anything that gets you to smile is the correct course of
action. And I’ll have an employee come tomorrow morning to have you sign the marriage
papers, so I might as well say my vows to my lovely partner.”

Yoojin chuckled. “Well you’re not getting any vows from me until our official wedding day.
Though I’ll let you comfort me properly. Take off your jacket and shirt right now.”

Stepping back to take off his own shirt, Yoojin motioned for Hyunjae to hurry up. Grabbing
the clothes in one hand, Yoojin wrapped his arms around Hyunjae’s neck. Chest to chest,
Yoojin whispered quietly in Hyunjae’s ear.

“You can hear about my worries once you satisfy my needs. Carry me to bed. Now.”

It was good that Hyunjae understood when to listen. Yoojin was swiftly picked up and he
crossed his legs behind Hyunjae’s back to stay as close as possible while they headed towards
the bedroom. His ‘fever’ wasn't satisfied, but it had significantly subsided. Yoojin was able to
focus on things that weren't Hyunjae.

He didn't like that at all.

Yoojin tossed the clothes in his hand to the floor as Hyunjae gently laid him on the bed. He
had to establish that neither of them were getting sleep tonight. In an ideal scenario, that
would make Hyunjae forget that he wanted Yoojin to talk about his issues. “I hope you know
you’re not allowed to stop today. Your focus should be on me alone.”

Hyunjae smirked. “I could never look away from my beautiful fiancé. What else could ever
compare? But my fiancé also needs to take care of himself. You're not distracting me so
easily.”

Yoojin could take on that challenge. He raised an eyebrow. “Oh yeah? Well I have some very
clear goals for tonight and one of them if you fucking me senseless. Thats the only care I
need right now.”

To prove his point, Yoojin unzipped Hyunjae’s pants to free his straining cock and began to
stoke it quickly. He needed it to enter him as soon as possible.

Hyunjae sucked in a breath at the contact, putting a hand next to Yoojin’s face on the bed to
support himself.

Hyunjae narrowed his eyes at Yoojin. “Youre quite sneaky when you want to be, my dear. Do
you want to shut me up that much? Am I only useful to please you?”

Yoojin would have brushed this off as a joke, but an instinct inside him told of a different
story. Hyunjae was hurt by the possibility of being used for sex and nothing else. It made
Yoojin wince internally. If Hyunjae, who had enough confidence for one hundred people, was
hurt by Yoojin’s actions- then Yoojin was definitely in the wrong.

Yoojin grabbed Hyunjae’s cock tightly at the base to distract him and stop more negative
thoughts from entering his head. Using his free hand to cup Hyunjae’s cheek, Yoojin smiled
with all the love he had. Which was a lot.

“I know right now it seems like I only want a distraction and that anyone would do, but that
isn't true. I love you Hyunjae, sometimes so much it scares me. I want to start a family with
you. I want to wake up to your stupidly handsome face in the morning. I want to fight over
who gives Yerim the best hugs. When things go wrong, I want to find a solution with you. I
can't imagine being with anyone other than you, Hyunjae.”
Hyunjae chuckled wetly. “I thought you said I wasn't getting any vows from you until
tomorrow. And isn’t it cruel that you said this while edging me?”

Yoojin winced and immediately let go of Hyunjae’s cock. “Well the edging was only to stop
you from getting stupid thoughts but then I forgot to let go. And about the vows… I guess I
realized that even if I was going to use your money I should take care of my future husband
emotionally. Because I care about him a lot.”

Hyunjae hummed while leaning into Yoojin’s hand on his face. “Oh, this future husband of
yours sure is lucky. Getting someone as beautiful as Yoojin to love him this much. Just how
did he win you over? I simply must know.”

Yoojin used his index finger to theatrically tap his lips in thought. “Hmm, of course he's
incredibly handsome and wealthy, which is the bare minimum. He dotes on me and makes
sure i'm okay no matter what. When I’m in trouble he runs to save me. But even if he didn't
have all that, what makes me love him more than anything is how much he loves me for who
I am. I never thought I could settle down until I met him.”

Hyunjae’s face was still, but the tears welling up in his eyes said everything. “I thought you'd
tease me because I fished for compliments, but Yoojin is treating me quite well. My heart is
full, and yet this only makes me want to sleep with you more. Cement a claim that you’re
mine. Is this because my Yoojin is too beautiful to stay away from?”

Yoojin smirked. “My Hyunjae simply can’t resist me. But don't worry about claiming me,
come take a look at my neck. It still has the mark you made from the first time we slept
together. If it's lasted this long I doubt it's going away anytime soon.”

Hyunjae’s gaze immediately locked on to the mark with a hunger Yoojin had only seen once
before. When Hyunjae’s hand cupped his neck to put pressure on the mark with his thumb,
Yoojin let out a loud whine from how it made his ‘fever’ spike in pleasure.

In retaliation, he moved his hand from Hyunjae’s face to press where he had left a mark on
Hyunjae’s neck, surprised to see that it was still there. Hyunjae purred at the touch, which
made both of them freeze before they realized they were both too horny to care right now.

Hyunjae moved to lick at Yoojin’s nipples, sucking and biting to turn them both red. Yoojin
couldn’t keep his moans down, grabbing at Hyunjae’s hair to keep himself grounded.

Smirking, Hyunjae stopped to take in Yoojin’s flushed face. “Darling, it must be illegal to let
out such sinful sounds with a pretty mouth like that. How could one ever stay sane after
hearing them? The only thing I can think about is how gorgeous you would look with those
lips around my cock.”

Well that just wouldn't do. Yoojin needed Hyunjae’s cum to be used for getting pregnant
before they could have fun like that. It was time to speed things up.

Turning over on his hands and knees, Yoojin did his best to look appealing. It was
embarrassing to present his ass like this, but he somehow knew this was the best way to get
Hyunjae to fuck him as quickly as possible.
Face down on the pillow Yoojin lifted his head enough to glare at Hyunjae. “If you think
even a drop of your cum is going anywhere other than inside me you're dead wrong. You'll
get oral sex from me once I'm pregnant.”

Hyunjae ran a hand over Yoojin’s back from his neck to his hole, stretching him out slowly.
“What a roundabout way to say you'll never let me cum in your mouth. I'll have to try my
best to convince you otherwise later. For now I'm plenty distracted by that lovely fluid
dripping down your thighs. There's so much I'm already three fingers in without lube.”

Yoojin huffed. “I never see the appeal of that fluid, it just confuses me. But if you're three
fingers in why haven't you fucked m-”

Cutting himself off when he felt Hyunjae start to enter him, Yoojin keened at the pressure.
Hyunjae’s cock felt larger this time, and Yoojin could feel every inch of it. It was as if he was
being split open.

Yoojin loved it.

Hyunjae usually thrusted slowly, and this was no exception. His cock filled Yoojin up over
and over again, driving him crazy from pleasure. His ‘fever’ was making him more sensitive
than usual, and the only thought in his mind was that he was finally being filled.

That was, until Yoojin felt Hyunjae's cock start to grow at the base. He remembered this
sensation, even if it had only happened once. With Hyunjae starting to stretch him even more
than before and his ‘fever’ finally subsiding slightly, Yoojin couldn't help but grin.

He had a inkling that his baby would be back soon.

Yoojin caught his breath when he felt the bloated base of Hyunjae’s cock catch on his rim.
Soon Hyunjae wouldn't be able to pull out anymore. Perfect.

Hyunjae’s hips stuttered. “Yoojin. I think we have stop. I hadn't noticed my cock enlarge until
now, but I could seriously hurt you.”

Yoojin was not going to let that happen. “Don't you dare stop. You are going to keep fucking
me until you can't pull out anymore. Do you hear me? This is non negotiable. I'll be fine, I
can take it.”

Hyunjae started pulling out. “Yoojin I really want to but you're not in the best health because
of your kidnapping- urgh.”

Yoojin couldn't wait anymore and shoved himself fully onto Hyunjae’s base. The stretch was
intense, but his mind was clear even as he came from the stimulation. Hyunjae’s cum slowly
starting to fill him only heightened his feeling of satisfaction. His body was calming down,
finally having achieved its goal.

Turning his head, Yoojin grinned at Hyunjae. “What were you saying? I think I'm fine. In
fact, I could do this again. What do you say?”
 Sweeping the hair out of his face, Hyunjae sighed. “I can never win against you, darling.
How about we wait until I can pull out at least. This time I want to see your face.”

Unlike their first time, Yoojin was able to stay awake the entire night as they fucked three
more times. He guessed it was his younger body giving him the extra stamina. Either way, it
was a very enjoyable night.

And the best thing was by the end of it, Yoojin could sense a familiar ball of heat settle near
his stomach.
