[T/N] I apologize for grammar mistakes and incoherencies
Special Chapter 5: Exception #5.
Sangwoo took Jaeyoung’s cock into his mouth and began to move his tongue, flicking it up from the bottom, starting from the canal where a slightly salty liquid flowed continuously to the section of flesh that had small bumps. Every time he used the tip of his tongue to touch the sensitive part, Sangwoo’s saliva would flow down to his chin, but he didn’t have the strength to swallow. Just by stimulating that piece of flesh, it seemed to expand bigger and bigger, without knowing whether it was his own feeling or how it felt in his mouth became increasingly difficult.
Meanwhile, Jaeyoung continued to press the back of his neck against his lower area, making the end touch his throat. He wanted to tell the other person that he had boundaries, but Jaeyoung only bowed his head and tugged at his hair, making him unable to do it. Sangwoo slowly moved his head without any choice, circling his mouth and moving up and down using the tip of his tongue to stimulate the long surface as he had practiced three months ago.
“Ah, Ah.... Sangwoo-ya.”
The fullness in his mouth made him unable to answer. Jaeyoung raised his hair forcefully and tugged it back, his chin automatically raised and their eyes met. Sangwoo looked down again to concentrate on what he was doing, but Jaeyoung pulled his hair again, as if asking him to look at his face.
And so, Sangwoo looked straight into Jaeyoung’s eyes, licked the twitching cock until the end touched the throat before wrapping his mouth tightly and lightly nibbling on the end and then swallowing the saliva. He then used his tongue to lick it into his mouth again.
When Sangwoo moved down, Jaeyoung’s hand would press his head, and when he moved up, his hand would pull his hair up. At first, their movements were almost synchronized, but the longer it went on, the more hurried Jaeyoung’s touch became. Sangwoo moved faster in accordance with the command. Then he remembered that he had done the same thing before, and at one point his mouth had been injured, so he tightly wrapped his mouth even tighter.
“Ah, Ah-ah, Ahh...”
In fact, Sangwoo was not in a state to suck and lick anyone’s genitals, because he was too focused on listening to Jaeyoung’s moans, which made his own cock become swollen and almost explode inside his pants. He desperately wanted to touch and relieve it, but because one hand was holding his lower area, he couldn’t do it.
At that moment, Jaeyoung grabbed Sangwoo’s head with both hands and held it in place. While Sangwoo looked up, unaware of the reason the other party was doing this, Jaeyoung pressed his index finger against the roof of his mouth and forcefully pushed it in, quickly withdrawing the hardened flesh and thrusting it back in with equal speed. Although the impact was so strong that his head trembled, Jaeyoung still held his head tightly, and his enlarged male organ moved vigorously in and out. Judging from the increasing speed, it seemed that his mouth was about to tear again. Sangwoo held onto the other party’s legs tightly and endured every move.
Then, suddenly, Jaeyoung stopped moving and withdrew his hardened flesh. Sangwoo wondered. Even though he thought the moment of release was approaching, Sangwoo was about to touch the tip again. Jaeyoung inserted both arms under Sangwoo’s slender waist and pulled it up against his body, their eyes meeting for a fraction of a second. Then, his eyes, filled with intense feelings, closed, and the other party swallowed the edge of Sangwoo’s lips.
Saliva flowed into their mouths, intermingling with their linked tongues. Jaeyoung’s arms tightly embraced Sangwoo, who was about to escape, and his hands hurriedly pressed the back of his head and waist. Sangwoo could clearly read the other party’s intense feelings better than a hundred words from his actions.
Jaeyoung immediately withdrew his lips and turned to the side, while the other party stretched his hand far to open the car console. When he reached out a box of glasses and an album and threw them aside, it revealed a condom and a lubricant hidden underneath.
“... We agreed not to do it in a car for a long time, haven’t we? Don’t tell me you didn’t keep it.”
“Because I knew that a day like this would come.”
Jaeyoung kissed Sangwoo’s neck until there was a loud smacking sound, and whispered softly in his ear.
“Why? Can’t you stop yourself? Wanna go back inside like that and sleep in whose room, following the rules?”
“In that case, you should have said it before it got hard like this.”
“Exception Handling, right.”
“Yes.”
After getting ready, Jaeyoung took off his pants and underwear. Sangwoo could feel the slender finger that had penetrated his love hole tightly while hugging the other party.
“Are you not angry anymore?”
“I’m not really angry.”
“Liar.”
Jaeyoung stretched Sangwoo’s love hole without saying anything and laid Sangwoo flat on the seat, adjusted the seat support to lean back, and hugged the back of his neck with a gentle kiss. At the same time, Sangwoo lifted his left leg, Jaeyoung pressed his own arm, increased the number of fingers, and the more slurred the sound became, the hotter Sangwoo’s body felt. Although it seemed like he was forcefully penetrated, Jaeyoung only explored inside gently.
‘Why are you like this?’
It was clear that he wanted to hurry, but no matter how long he waited, there were only slow movements. Moreover, he deliberately pressed in strange places. Sangwoo forgot to close his eyes tightly and met Jaeyoung’s eyes, his slightly lowered eyes shining with confusion.
“Sangwoo, does spacing bother you that much?”
“...Just a little.”
“Yes, so why not stop?”
“Hmm, um… stop...”
“What is it?”
“Don’t tempt me. Stop slowly...”
“Use proper grammar and speak clearly.”
“I know that already. Why are you doing it like this, really?”
“Grammar…. Sangwoo… subject object verb.”[1.]
“Oh, damn...”
If he had started teasing once, he wouldn’t stop. At times like this, it’s best to do what he wants. Sangwoo closed his eyes and sighed.
“Please put your big dick inside me...”
Come - into - my hole - please. When he said the vulgar phrase that the other person taught him last month. Jaeyoung burst into laughter immediately.
“What is that? Are you a robot or something?”
“...”
Doing and not doing are both meaningless. When Sangwoo raised his eyebrows and looked angrily, Jaeyoung withdrew his fingers and grabbed both of their lumps of flesh. At the same time, his hip was lifted and something hard and smooth touched the entrance. Sangwoo felt excited and hopeful at the same time. Jaeyoung chuckled softly.
“As requested.”
Then the other party pushed in forcefully, because it had been stimulated from the beginning, Sangwoo’s mouth let out a loud sound.
“Ah, jesus!”
Jaeyoung stared deeply into Sangwoo’s eyes and slowly slid in and out, teasing and making him feel helpless. Sangwoo tightened his grip on the other party’s neck until their foreheads touched.
“Will you do it well?”
“We’re arguing, did you forget?”
“Who said I’m not angry... oh…oh my god…ah!”
Jaeyoung lifted Sangwoo’s left leg higher and thrust forcefully. Sangwoo stopped talking and clung to the person in front of him, as if waiting for something while craning his neck, but the other party stopped moving again.
When he looked down, he found that that huge thing didn’t go all the way in.
“Your revenge is so...”
“My revenge?”
“Because you talked about revenge like this...mmmhgr fuck!”
“You’re talking about it correctly, then why don’t I show you what my revenge really means?”
“You’ve gone too far… aaah…mmmmh!”
Jaeyoung inserted his cock forcefully until it reached the hilt. Although
Sangwoo had now become accustomed to the other party inserting it like the first time, when the other party resisted like this, it made it difficult. Sangwoo’s brain was blank before he could compare which was more intense between the pleasure and the resentment, and he closed his eyes.
“Hey, open your eyes.”
Sangwoo scowled and shook his head.
“You really are planning to not listen.”
Jaeyoung grumbled before starting to move his body, pulling back slightly and then forcefully thrusting in, causing his entire body to shake. At the same time, a queasy feeling in his stomach expanded, one hand interlocked with Sangwoo’s hand. On the other side, supporting the back of the head.
“Sangwooya.”
“Hah, ugh...”
“Answer... like that.”
Sangwoo wanted to answer, but only silence came out. Jaeyoung had already pressed deeper into the inner wall as if waiting, so he couldn’t answer. When he looked up, he was met with a determined face in front of him. Sangwoo attempted to kiss the other party again, but even the attempted kiss wasn’t allowed by Jaeyoung, who turned his face to the back.
‘An asshole with a really bad personality.’
“If you’re not going to fuck me good, then lie down. I’ll do it myself.” As Sangwoo tried to get up, the other side pressed his shoulders down.
Then the movements that made Sangwoo’s eyes have to close tightly started. Sangwoo even forgot about the feeling of annoyance that used to anger him as he wrapped his arms around the other party’s neck and hugged tightly, but in order to suppress the urge to moan, he tried to hold it in.
“Don’t bite those beautiful lips.”
Jaeyoung pushed his finger in his lover’s mouth as if seeing his state. So, Sangwoo abandoned his intention to resist and let out a moan that resounded through Jaeyoung.
His body trembled in response to the intense and rhythmic movements, blending with the car seat. Jaeyoung leaned his upper body closer, using his palm to gently stroke his cheek. When he lifted his leg and widened his arms and spread his legs, the penetration became deeper. Sangwoo became lost in complete bliss and didn’t care about his embarrassing pose even for a moment.
“Sang...woo-ya.”
“Hah, ah... ha, ah.”
“Answer me.”
“Oh, uh, huh, um.”
“You won’t answer... well... will you?”
Sangwoo forcefully shook his face and moved his hips to match the rhythm that Jaeyoung joined in, colliding and grinding against each other. In an instant, a bright light flashed, and every time he clenched his lower part without realizing it, Jaeyoung’s groans would explode.
‘Absolutely amazing dicking, damn.’
Sangwoo didn’t say anything, he just kept it in his mind. After discovering his own tendency to use foul language when drinking or having sex, he tried to stop that habit altogether.
‘Motherfucker…. I want to go crazy…’
Even though it seemed like the other party wouldn’t try to control him either, Sangwoo swallowed the corner of Jaeyoung’s mouth, which had been staring at him since a moment ago, and their tongues fluttered and clashed like two fighting snakes. The lower confrontation between a cock and cock holster became more and more intense, and as soon as Sangwoo realized, his back was full of sweat. Not only his back, but every part of his body that came into contact with Jaeyoung was moist and hot.
“Sangwooya, I...”
Jaeyoung gasped heavily, alternating between heavy and normal breathing. As he raised his face, sweat dripped down from his chin and hit Sangwoo’s lips.
“Why... uh...I’m trembling like this having sex with you... do you know?”
‘It’s an addiction. You should try going to the hospital.’
Because he kept making moaning sounds, he couldn’t say what he wanted to say. Jaeyoung grabbed Sangwoo’s cheeks strongly, as if slapping his face, and forced him to turn and look at himself.
“Your roughness...if it wasn’t now...when would I get to see it?”
“You...asshole.”
While Sangwoo laughed softly, Jaeyoung accelerated, and since then, his face and lower region moved in completely different directions. While the other party looked at Sangwoo affectionately, the lower region kept thrusting violently, repeating and intensifying more than ever before. Sangwoo wanted to face it with a smile, but all he could do was make moaning sounds.
“Hyung... Help me… slowly... Ah, mmmhpf...”
“Grammar. Sangwoo-ya.”
“Oh, fuck... shit, I misspoke...just once...”
“Ah, be yourself... You speak rudely, you know.”
Sangwoo reluctantly complained, accusing Jaeyoung of violating Rule 17, but because he was too overwhelmed with anger, he couldn’t respond. In the car that day, Sangwoo was eaten and chewed relentlessly by Jaeyoung’s cock due to a mistake. Therefore, it was clearly etched in his mind, while even minor problems would not request special treatment, there is an exception for exception handling.
***.
“Oh, so exhausted. Feels like I just played three basketball games.”
When they got out of the car, half an hour had already passed after one o’clock in the night. Sangwoo looked at the car seat which was so messed up that he didn’t even want to look anymore, unable to forget as he expected. But Jaeyoung said he would handle it himself, so he took out a tissue to wipe and helped him out of the car but Sangwoo’s legs trembled so much that he couldn’t even walk properly. Jaeyoung begged Sangwoo to ride on his back, but as soon as he turned to let the devoured man get on, the other person confused him by saying never mind.
“I am worrying.”
“Hey, don’t worry. At least with physical fitness, I can’t do this every day.”
“...No, try to think about when the semester ends. It will be like this.”
In the elevator, Jaeyoung talked like it wasn’t important, but Sangwoo was worried that his life would be shattered. He was a student who had to take 24 credits, while Jaeyoung was a new employee of a company called ‘De:ex’. But Jaeyoung misunderstood that Rule 32 and 33 had been canceled, so incidents like this would happen every night.
“If every day was like today, it would be great.”
Jaeyoung leaned lightly against Sangwoo’s back, letting his weight down like that. It made Sangwoo walk home feeling like he was carrying a bear. After unlocking the door and entering, he managed the priorities.
“First, have a glass of carrot juice. Then take a shower. Absolutely do not enter my bedroom before that.”
Sangwoo assessed Jaeyoung’s attitude, thinking, ‘Just today I want to rest, without any disturbance, please.’ Then he took a glass out of the refrigerator and handed it to Jaeyoung. Jaeyoung looked at the glass with a downcast expression before snatching it away from Sangwoo’s hand.
He placed the plastic wrap on the floor before closing his eyes tightly and starting to drink the water. His Adam apple moved every time the liquid flowed down his throat. Jaeyoung drank five hundred milliliters of water in one go before placing the glass on the table.
“Hah, hah.”
“Well done.”
“As for you, I will drink for the last time because I see how difficult it is for you.”
“What is it?”
“It’s fine now, I don’t want to drink.”
“But your dry eyes...”
“Exception Handling.”
Sangwoo couldn’t say anything. Jaeyoung held the weapon tightly in his hand without letting go. Sangwoo thought of vitamin A, pills, and chamomile tea as backup plans before finally replying that he understood.
Jaeyoung took a red magic marker from the box, put it in his mouth, and walked to the wall with the thirty-three rules. He then crossed out rules 32 and 33, making a loud scratching sound as if they were his enemies, and wrote in large letters.
[New negotiation, agreement reached.]
Jaeyoung hugged himself and looked at the destroyed message on the wall with great pride.
“Good, very good.”
Sangwoo was contemplating, reaching into his heart to give the other party a new pair of underwear, saying, “You must always sleep in just underwear. No pajamas.”
“Now, I’ll take a shower.”
“Are you going to shower first?”
“Yes.”
Jaeyoung stretched his arms and lazily pointed towards the ceiling before yawning and taking off his clothes, throwing them towards the bathroom door. Sangwoo silently looked at the back of the other person before changing his mind and stepping closer to hug him from behind. Jaeyoung turned around with a somewhat reluctant expression and looked at Sangwoo.
“Who said we’re taking turns showering?”
“Exception Handling.”
Jaeyoung laughed and pulled Sangwoo into the bathroom. Then, the door closed with a loud bang.

Special Chapter 6: Propose 5.0, #1.
Two months left before leaving the country. Sangwoo was busy with various things, such as preparing to move, planning trips, selling his car, and others. But for him, there was something more important than everything that needed to be done.
[Have you quit your job yet? _18:55.]
- [♥Jang Jaeyoung♥: 7 more minutes until I’m off work _18:57.]
- [♥Jang Jaeyoung♥: Do you want me to buy something or do you want to eat outside? _18:57.]
[You don’t have to buy anything. _18:58.]
Sangwoo put his phone on the phone holder in the car and took a deep, silent breath. He had rehearsed this moment many times and imagined it hundreds of times, but he still couldn’t help feeling excited.
‘This is the most important day of our lives. We can’t afford to fail.’
He immersed himself in his thoughts and carefully checked each step in the process, every step filled with romantic events and meticulously planned to elevate the emotions one step at a time. When it reached the end, Jaeyoung would not refuse the offer. There was no way for him to refuse, only imagining the other person’s face nodding with tears welling up. Sangwoo cock hardened.
‘I won’t ruin this day because of lust.’
Sangwoo quickly turned on the radio and tuned it to a Buddhist channel. As he listened to the slow chanting of the Buddhist scriptures and calmed his mind, a familiar hatchback car drove past the car Sangwoo was sitting in. After the car parked, the engine turned off.
Then, the man whom Sangwoo was waiting for got out of the car. He had long hair tied into a single bun and wore three earrings. Although he looked unusual, he was an employee of a company and perhaps it was because the workplace was for designers, so they had the freedom to dress as they pleased. When Sangwoo tried to visit the company, as Jaeyoung had told him, he claimed to be a fairly neat and organized person and Sangwoo saw that out of almost all the designers there, Jaeyoung was the most neat and orderly.
Jaeyoung closed the car door and took off his glasses, putting them in his coat pocket. Underneath his red jumper that extended down to his waist, he wore long black pants. On the other hand, he swiftly moved his legs and took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket, making a call somewhere.
Suddenly, there was a ringing sound coming from Sangwoo’s pants pocket.
Jaeyoung had a habit of calling while on his way back home.
“Hello.”
[I told the chairman today that I want to resign in December.]
“What did he say?”
[What do you think? He scolded me.]
“Did he say anything that would need me to inform the Ministry of Labor then?”
[Not to that extent. We smoked and talked for about an hour, and he said he might let me handle the collaboration and keyring for next year.]
“It’s a shame that you have to go without doing it.”
[That’s true, it sounds fun.]
“I understand that it’s disappointing when a capable employee is about to resign, but if he wants to scold you, next time, tell him to call me.”
As soon as he realized, Jaeyoung came closer until he could see a smiling face through the car window.
[We ended the conversation with a goodbye. What should we eat today? Hyujin and I were talking and he mentioned that there’s a Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood that has been open for forty years. It’s delicious! Have you tried it?]
As Jaeyoung was about to cross the road, Sangwoo honked his car horn.
“Jang Jaeyoung, over here.”
After waving and walking away, Jaeyoung turned around for a moment and saw a smile appear on his face. But as he saw Sangwoo’s appearance and the black sedan he was sitting in, the other party was speechless. He had forgotten that his mobile phone, which used to be attached to his ear, was now swinging on his thigh unnoticed.
“Where are you going? What’s that Benz over there?”
“Get in... there’s a place we need to go together.”
Sangwoo thought he had said it in a cool way, but a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Jaeyoung’s lips.
“Oh, today? You should have told me earlier.”
“...Do you know something?”
“Wait in the car, I’ll quickly take a shower and change clothes before coming down.”
Sangwoo held Jaeyoung’s arm, as if guiding him home.
“You can’t. You still can’t come in.”
“Why?”
“I can’t tell you. Get in the car quickly.”
Jaeyoung pouted and looked down at his sneakers.
“Then you go up and bring out the trench coat and combat boots.”
After finishing speaking, the other party disappeared and sat in the seat next to the driver.
‘I didn’t plan for this.’
Sangwoo felt restless as he walked back to the house. He tried not to step on anything and grabbed Jaeyoung’s coat and shoes before returning to the car. As the car started, he felt a little bit braver. Although he still felt anxious, he had time and hadn’t failed yet.
Jaeyoung replaces his shoes and gazes at Sangwoo’s side face.
“What are you looking at?”
“...Uh.”
“Is there a problem?”
As he turned his head to look, Jaeyoung lunged forward, planting a kiss on the corner of his mouth, while slipping his hand into his coat and caressing his waist. As he tries to brush him off and make him sit back down, the tongue of the other party took the opportunity to slip in.
“Hyung, wait...”
“Wait for yourself. You are so sexy right now.”
The whispered sound of temptation makes his body instantly heat up. Sangwoo decides to make an effort to resist and opens his mouth wide, while being overwhelmed with kisses. At the same time, Jaeyoung’s hand slips into his pants, not only that, but also slides down to grab and knead his firm buttocks.
“Oh, why are you like this, like a beast...”
Jaeyoung pretended not to hear Sangwoo’s words and kissed him more passionately, grinding their bodies closer. Sangwoo falls into a state of daze before regaining consciousness after seeing Jaeyoung take a condom out of his wallet.
“...Wait.”
He can say yes to having sex every day, but today is a day where failure is certain because desire is not even present for a second. Sangwoo demonstrates immense self-control by pulling Jaeyoung’s hand off and using his knee to push back the other party’s chest. Jaeyoung has no intention of retreating easily, so Sangwoo holds the face of his lover and gently throws him away with a low murmur.
“I think this isn’t going to happen. Just endure it for a bit.”
“How long is ‘a bit’?”
“Two hours and fifty-two minutes.”
“How am I supposed to endure for three hours?”
“Just endure it. We’re in the same situation, after all.”
Jaeyoung returned to sit down, sulking with a gloomy face. Sangwoo took a deep breath, relaxed his shoulders, tucked his shirt back into his pants, and adjusted his belt.
‘Well then? No problem, let’s start fresh with new determination.’
Sangwoo sighed and patted himself on the back. Despite the turmoil in his mysterious heart, he tried not to care and shifted gears before stepping on the accelerator. As he glanced back to check the road, he caught sight of
Jaeyoung, who still had eyes that resembled those of a mental patient.
“So, where are we going?”
“High State Hotel.”
“Wow, looks like you’re really motivated. Are we planning to stay there for one night?”
“We’ll have dinner and come back later.”
“Let’s check-in before we have dinner.”
“Say something meaningful. I’ve already made plans.”
Sangwoo grumbled coolly without realizing it, then glanced to the side to apologize, but Jaeyoung was laughing as if it were amusing. Sangwoo bit his lip.
‘Today is an important day, no frowning allowed.’
“Don’t say anything inappropriate, hyung. I’ve already made all the plans.”
Even though he tried to smile and speak softly, the sound that came out sounded strangely aggressive, and Jaeyoung covered his mouth to suppress his laughter before answering.
“Okay, I understand.”
“Thank you very much for your cooperation.”
He didn’t calm down, but the way he spoke sounded strange.
Fortunately, Jaeyoung didn’t say anything or complain until they arrived at the hotel. At that moment, Sangwoo was so stressed that his hands were trembling, and he felt like he would vomit immediately if anyone touched him. As he drove into the underground parking lot, Jaeyoung, who had been silent throughout, finally spoke up.
“Sangwooya.”
“Mmmh?”
“Why did you park your car like that? It’s so rude.”
“You…”
When Sangwoo saw Jaeyoung’s face, he added, “On a day like this, do you really think I would be mad at you?”
“How would I know it’s an important day?”
“...How could you not know it’s an important day?”
“I don’t know anything, I just guessed randomly.”
“Really?”
“Can’t you at least tell me how I would know? How am I supposed to find out?”
Sangwoo took a deep breath and put on a poker face. This was a complete surprise, and he had carefully concealed all the preparations. Therefore, there was no way the other party would know. After parking the car without any hesitation... Sangwoo turned off the engine. Jaeyoung said he would wait and get out of the car, but Sangwoo remained seated, adjusting his breathing for a moment.
They took the elevator to the top floor. Although it was an exciting elevator with glass on all sides, Jaeyoung didn’t bother to admire the exterior scenery and just kept staring at Sangwoo.
The night scenery was dimly lit, and a man stood with his hand in his trench coat pocket. Sangwoo did all this because he wanted to possess that man, the one with the neatly tied bird’s nest hairstyle. The scene and imagery was more magnificent than he had imagined, making him regret not bringing a camera.
“Did you make a reservation?”
“Hello... Mister Chu Sangwoo.”
Soon, they entered the five-star Italian restaurant, which offered a view of the night scenery of Seoul and the mountains. A staff member in a black suit guided Sangwoo to the reserved seat by the window, booked twenty days ago.
Sangwoo sat down on the solid seat with his knees covered by a stained cloth. When he saw the staff bring the wine list, he relied on his pre-learned knowledge and ordered a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon produced in Italy, known to pair well with meat. After the staff left, Jaeyoung leaned back in his chair, hugging his chest.
“I wonder what you were thinking. Even a stingy person can spend this much money.”
The cost of getting a suit tailored, renting a car, meals, and wine, all of these expenses are necessary. Sangwoo doesn’t feel regret at all.
“I spend as necessary during regular times, so it’s the same during occasions like this.”
“I’m curious to see what you’re going to say and do.”
Sangwoo secretly smiles, knowing that the one who planned the surprise must feel like this. He wants to see Jaeyoung’s surprised face quickly.
“Do you like it here, hyung?”
“Hmm.”
“Really?”
Sangwoo asked again. Jaeyoung, who always has a comfortable image, is neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. Sangwoo feels a bit regretful inside, as if he hopes that the other person will show excitement after seeing the city’s night view and enjoying the splendid atmosphere of the restaurant.
“I...”
Jaeyoung brought the chair closer to the table, the flickering candlelight reflected in the eyes of the other person. Then, his big hand touches Sangwoo’s backhand.
“I just want you to be with me. That’s all I want. Now, I hope you understand.”
The other person held Sangwoo’s hand and kissed it before letting go. Sangwoo felt a slight relief in his tense body and relaxed.
“I know, but today is a special day. So, I want you to like me more than before.”
“Today, you look extremely good. I can’t take my eyes off you.”
“...”
“I’m trying my best to be patient.”
Sangwoo secretly observed his reflection on the windowpane. He could tell that Jaeyoung liked the new blue suit he had just ordered. It seemed worth it to endure being scolded by Yoona for over two hours.
Meanwhile, soup and bread were served. Sangwoo scooped up some soup with a spoon but hesitated a bit, feeling that it was too hot. He couldn’t taste any flavor, and his hand trembled as he accidentally tapped the bowl, making a faint clicking sound.
“Why do you have that expression? Is it not delicious?”
Just a normal everyday sentence, yet why did the tone of voice sound so intimidating? Sangwoo looked up and locked eyes with Jaeyoung. The other side smiled faintly, dipped a piece of bread into the soup, and slowly chewed on it, intentionally running his tongue along the corners of his lips. Sangwoo fell into that trap countless times, and this time, he couldn’t look away as easily as before.
“Are you teasing me?”
“I’m just eating bread. Why? Is it sexy?”
“Teasing me doesn’t do anything for us anymore, does it?”
“We’re at a hotel... There are vacant rooms.”
Jaeyoung smirked and lightly licked his index finger. Sangwoo felt tempted to indulge without realizing the clear intentions behind it, but he didn’t think he would fall into the trap he could clearly see.
‘What does he want by doing this?’
Jaeyoung wasn’t an enemy and should be the one motivating him to feel good. But strangely, he felt that the other side was a villain trying to sabotage his plans. Sangwoo resisted the gaze from the person in front of him before scooping up the soup and consuming it uncouthly. He reminisced, ‘100 Good Questions to Ask Your Loved One Before Getting Married,’ but it scattered from his mind without his awareness.
“You have to talk about something important, but you just keep bothering me. Are you annoyed? Yourself?”
“You know that very well. Then don’t do it.”
“Fine, I won’t. Just look in my eyes.”
Sangwoo raised his head and locked eyes with Jaeyoung. As he looked at the other side with a hesitant gaze, Jaeyoung’s expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. Sangwoo could feel the vigilance melting away, like snow melting.
‘If I come to you angry like this, what would you do?’
Did the other person do something wrong? Is their appearance too charming? Even their eating habits are teasing? Sangwoo fixes differences with the person he loves in his heart before taking a deep breath and remembering the phrase that came to mind.
Special Chapter 7: Propose 5.0 #2.
“Hyung Jaeyoung, today I will present an important proposal, but before that, please listen carefully.”
“Hmm, I understand.”
“What do you think, if there is someone there to support you in difficult times, how would it be?”
Sangwoo asked calmly, his honest feelings reflected in his eyes. Jaeyoung sipped his wine and cleared his throat two or three times, then placed the glass down and looked at Sangwoo. The other side answered the question with eyes filled with deep affection.
“Hmm, I think it would be comforting, especially for someone like me who lacks security. It is important to have a good companion by my side.”
“....”
The answer itself did not seem to hide anything, but the intense desire reflected in the eyes was suspiciously unclear. Sangwoo tilted his head and moved on to the next question.
“When two people decide to live together, are there any conditions that must be met?”
“Love, nothing is more important than love.”
Jaeyoung spoke with emotions overflowing, like a scene from a theatrical play, before looking directly into the eyes of Sangwoo.
“Understanding is also important. Even if there are parts where both parties do not match...”
Jaeyoung gave a happy example answer before the expression in the other person’s eyes slowly changed. It went from clear and visible to a slight smile within a few seconds, his gaze drifted, and his mouth revealed a small hint. “Take care...and must make an effort...to adjust...” Sangwoo has a bad attitude, so forget it.
“Hyung?”
“...”
“Hey, Jang Jaeyoung.”
“...hm?”
“Focus. The next question, please tell me why you love me.”
“Um, because you’re extremely sexy.”
“...”
The main dish was served without any hesitation, it is the most famous dish in this restaurant, but Sangwoo ate it without even knowing it went into his mouth or nose for sure, at this point the atmosphere should be very romantic, and the mood should have been elevated to the point where Jaeyoung shed tears after hearing the proposal, but it seems like he is shedding something else.
‘Only a few events left. Need to change the atmosphere.’
Sangwoo finishes eating the remaining piece of meat before getting up from his seat.
“I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
He spoke softly and left the restaurant.
As he stood washing his hands with cold water in the bathroom, the cool happiness returned. Sangwoo looked at his appearance in the mirror to see if everything was in order and reflected on the different steps he had taken to get to this point. Although it may not flow smoothly like in movies, there was nothing wrong, and there were still several steps left.
‘I had high expectations, so there’s been an overly sensitive reaction. Hyung Jaeyoung didn’t do anything wrong. Focus, let’s not unnecessarily indulge in despair and ruin everything.’
Sangwoo looked at the mirror and paused for a moment before turning around and seeing Jaeyoung, who followed him quietly without making any noise, standing right there. Sangwoo was slightly startled but thought that the other party must also have business in the bathroom, so he thought of looking past him. However, Jaeyoung took a step forward to block his way.
“Are you following me?”
“Hmm.”
Jaeyoung’s hand touched his cheek, slid gently down to his chin, and then lifted his chin. On the other side, he slightly leaned forward and placed both arms on Sangwoo’s shoulders, then rested them on the back of his neck.
“Is there something wrong, Chu Sangwoo?”
As he met the warm gaze, he laughed. Sangwoo thought to himself that he was laughably confused.
“There’s nothing wrong. It’s just... I prepared this and that, but the atmosphere isn’t quite right. I’m afraid it will ruin everything.”
“The atmosphere is just like usual, isn’t it?”
“Today is a special day, so I thought it would be a bit different.”
“You and I are the same, you know. I don’t expect anything to be different.” Jaeyoung laughed and lightly brushed his fingers against Sangwoo’s cheek. Sangwoo laughed along, unable to help himself, realizing that the other person was right.
“We’ve been together for five hundred days. You know that I’ve loved you from the beginning until now. No, my love has grown even stronger. Do you still want something else?”
There’s no way it could be like that. The past one year and four months have been the happiest time in Sangwoo’s life. Sangwoo leaned his face closer and kissed Jaeyoung’s forehead. Jaeyoung gently leaned his head and asked.
“Or are you worried that I will reject your ‘proposal’?”
That question was so terrifying that it shook Sangwoo, who raised his head and looked into Jaeyoung’s eyes before tightly gripping his arm and earnestly pleading.
“It’s not about that. No matter what happens, you must not reject it. Do you understand?”
“Whether I reject or not, I should know what the proposal is first.”
Even though he didn’t know anything, the other person laughed softly, his laughter ending in a gentle tone. The corner of his mouth pressed against his forehead, that small touch made Sangwoo forget his uneasiness. Jaeyoung whispered softly.
“Can I kiss you?”
“Ask before doing anything.”
“I’m a little scared today.”
Sangwoo raised his arm and held Jaeyoung’s neck, tilting his head and pressing their lips together firmly. In an instant, they both became passionate, with only kissing and touching each other’s bodies. Sangwoo was worried that someone would come in through the door, but they couldn’t stop. They both pushed each other’s bodies until they collided with the door of the bathroom, which was divided into small compartments. The sound of the impact echoed loudly. The back of Sangwoo’s head hit the door before Jaeyoung’s head touched the partition. Their feet moved continuously, unable to stand in one place. Then, Jaeyoung used his shoulder to push the door and pulled Sangwoo into the bathroom.
“Ha, ha, maybe we should check-in first.”
“I told you we can’t.”
Jaeyoung gently pulled Sangwoo’s lips and cautiously messed up his carefully styled hair. At the same time, there was a loud noise, ‘bang’, followed by the sound of a door lock. From then on, everything became more intense.
Jaeyoung’s lips seemed to slide down to the chin. Suddenly, he touched the neck and made a soft sound, waking up the soft skin with the tip of his tongue before licking it up fully and gently biting. Sangwoo tried to suppress the moan, but when the other’s hand, which moved slyly between his legs, reached his hardening cock, he couldn’t control himself anymore.
“Not... yet. Don’t you want to reserve the room after seeing this state?”
“No... I can’t. I can’t.”
“That proposal, can we do it on the bed?”
“No. I already said... I planned everything.”
Jaeyoung teased Sangwoo’s body through his clothes. Then he forcefully pushed the lower part against him, using his lips and tongue to caress his ears affectionately. Sangwoo felt the happiness that made him momentarily lose consciousness right in front of Jaeyoung’s smiling face.
“Then we can just have to handle it right here.”
Jaeyoung placed his hand on Sangwoo’s belt buckle.
“...crazy-guy.”
Sangwoo grabbed his hand, but the moment their eyes met, their lips were connected again. He couldn’t control himself because Jaeyoung’s touch made his calmed desires resurface, so Jaeyoung straightened his neck and took off the belt and unbuttoned the pants without realizing it, followed by pulling down the zipper. Jaeyoung then groped over Sangwoo’s wet underwear and moved closer. Sangwoo’s legs trembled, but he managed to hold onto Jaeyoung’s shoulder and stand firm.
“Ah, um... if you’re going to do it, do it quickly.”
Sangwoo’s panting sounds ceased. Jaeyoung moved his hand to his own pants and pressed his body against Sangwoo even more. Faster, hurry up. Sangwoo whispered to Jaeyoung’s ear before sucking gently on the other’s earlobe, and lightly biting Jaeyoung’s body while he laughed softly.
“Reserve a room, whatever you think...”
“I told you I can’t!”
Sangwoo rejected the suggestion and pulled down Jaeyoung’s pants. After pulling down the pants, he took the ripe fleshy cock that was poking out before the underwear. Jaeyoung let out a moan and pressed his forehead against Sangwoo’s head.
“We fit each other perfectly.”
Jaeyoung murmured while pulling down both their underwear before kissing Sangwoo fiercely and roughly grabbing both of their cocks at once. Sangwoo’s tongue, which had previously moved with overwhelming desire, stopped. The stimulating sensation made his thoughts disappear, leaving his pale white brain empty.
“Do you... like it?”
Sangwoo’s face froze for a moment, forgetting that he was in an unsanitary bathroom. He clenched his teeth and revealed in the utmost joy as Jaeyoung continued to drive him crazy. This mentally ill person named Jang Jaeyoung could do anything with his body, especially when it came to sex, better than anyone else. Among all these abilities, his exceptional skills in using his hands were particularly outstanding, to the point that Sangwoo couldn’t catch up no matter how much he trained.
‘Because he’s good at art.’
Sangwoo hugged Jaeyoung’s neck, feeling a sense of indescribable happiness. Their bodies pressed against each other, drenched with an unknown liquid. The speed increased continuously along with the growing sound of pleasure. Even though their eyes were closed tightly, the instinct allowed them to experience a variety of colorful scenes in darkness. Jaeyoung didn’t give in the slightest, and they both quickly reached their peak.
“Ah, hah...Hyung you and… me...”
“With me, what?”
“Nothing...I’ll tell you soon.”
‘Stay with me forever.’
Sangwoo held onto those words and clenched his teeth, despite the growing moans. But it was the least he could do to maintain some semblance of reason in this public place.
Jaeyoung’s skilled hands moved expertly, alternating between squeezing and releasing their cocks. Sangwoo tightly grabbed onto Jaeyoung’s shoulders as he closed his eyes. The other pressed his body forward, causing Sangwoo’s back and head to hit the door, shaking the whole body in synchronization. Jaeyoung whispered his name into his ear. Sangwoo could feel that they were nearing the climax.
“If it stains my clothes...I’ll kill you.”
That was the final struggle of the remaining consciousness, clinging on by a thread. Jaeyoung responded to Sangwoo’s threat with a kiss. Then, the jerking speed accelerated continuously until it reached a level that seemed impossible for humans to achieve. Sangwoo also cummed experiencing pure happiness that couldn’t be tainted by any surrounding situation. As time passed, the feeling of floating in the air slowly faded away, and his feet returned to reality.
“I thought my arms were going to give out.”
Jaeyoung leaned weakly against Sangwoo, seemingly reaching his limit. He adjusted his heavily paced breathing, as if running a marathon, and as soon as he regained consciousness, the remaining consciousness returned.
‘Crazy, fuck we have actually done it in the restroom!’
At that moment, Sangwoo realized what they had done from the perspective of a well-intentioned mistake. His new suit pants fell to the floor, his sweaty legs and other fluids soaked the shirt, and his hairstyle he paid for at the hair salon - “When I said I was going to propose, the salon assigned three hairstylists.” A chaotic mess that shouldn’t be questioned.
Sangwoo shrugged Jaeyoung’s shoulder and used a tissue to wipe his body from every corner, pulled up his underwear, and pulled up his pants that were falling down and put them on again. When he finished buckling his belt, Sangwoo looked at his wristwatch and sighed.
“Missed it.”
“What?”
“There was a violin performance at 2 o’clock, but we missed it.”
“Oh, really?”
Jaeyoung, who did not know when he had finished putting on his pants, replied casually as if it was not important, and Sangwoo sighed before opening the door and going to the sink. He washed his hands with lukewarm water and examined his reflection in the mirror.
“Wow, you look cool.”
Even though both of them looked a little disheveled, Jaeyoung seemed to be more flustered. Sangwoo washed his hands clean, combed his hair a little, and stood waiting until Jaeyoung was ready. Jaeyoung hesitated before loosening the rubber band holding his hair and tucking it behind his ears. Then he raised both arms to tie his hair again. That was Sangwoo’s favorite gesture during this time. As he looked at the other person again, his racing heart settled down once more. Jaeyoung revealed a faint smile as if he understood Sangwoo’s thoughts.
“What song was it playing on the violin?”
“Salut d’Amour, by Elgar [1].”
“Oh, I know that song!”
“Really?”
“Ah, that was the song that played at the wedding when the bridesmaids came out with the colored candles [2].”
“…”
No, that’s not it. Sangwoo became angry, so he left Jaeyoung, who was pretending to smile, and placed his hand on the door frame, making a pose as if pointing to that place where the candles were, and walked out of the bathroom.

When they returned to the restaurant, they found the musicians busy collecting their instruments. As soon as Sangwoo sat down at the table, the waiter approached him immediately. Sangwoo asked quietly if they could help with the advance request for the event. Originally, they had planned for Jaeyoung to listen to the music and have dessert together, but Sangwoo had to suppress his desire and ask the staff to start working when the other person returned.
‘This is the worst.’
This is the time when emotions should be at their peak. Sangwoo was restless with external sexual desires, sweating profusely. He was agitated and lucky that nothing had stained his clothes, almost using the bathroom to wash his clothes.
Not long after, Sangwoo’s boyfriend, who he loved more than anything, appeared. He casually walked in, putting his hand in his pants pocket and looked relaxed, as if nothing had happened. Although Sangwoo was frustrated, he tried not to show it and drank several sips of water. He wanted to hold his lover’s hand tightly, have intimate conversations, and share stories about the future. He wanted to see the other person smiling while reminiscing about the most thrilling stories from the past. He wanted to pinch their cheeks and say how cute they were when they pouted.
“I don’t know why when you get angry, you look so attractive.”
The unashamed man who was moving his hand and foot under his chin, looking at him with a floating expression, who was he? The villain who was slowly destroying the event that Sangwoo had been preparing for over a month. He slowly used the items that he had prepared for over half a month, but still, nothing happened. This made Sangwoo lose confidence.
At that moment, the hotel staff approached, presenting a flower bouquet consisting of red roses to Sangwoo, and placing a cake in front of Jaeyoung, with fresh white cream and icing writing that said, “I love you.”
“Just say it straightforwardly, can this replace anything?”
Jaeyoung seemed unsure of how to feel impressed. Sangwoo handed him a bouquet of flowers with a hopeless feeling. The plan was for him to kneel down and present the bouquet with both hands, but if he did that in this situation, he would look foolish.
“Oh, thank you.”
Jaeyoung took the bouquet and smelled the fragrance. Then he smiled briefly and placed it on the side chair. That was the first normal reaction the other party showed today. Sangwoo summoned a little courage and urged the other party to quickly eat the cake. Jaeyoung used a fork to take a big piece of cake without taking his eyes off Sangwoo, then put it in his mouth and chewed. Then, he spoke up.
“It’s delicious. Not too sweet.”
“Hurry up and eat more.”
“Seeing each other like this is good, it starts to make me feel the same way again.”
Sangwoo sighed. They had been together for sixteen months, going on dates every weekend, traveling together every month, and the sex was as scheduled. He didn’t know what the problem was that caused turmoil outside.
While waiting for the fork to get caught on something, suddenly Jaeyoung raised his head and took a sip of water.
“I don’t know what I swallowed. Probably a fruit.”
“Oh?”
Sangwoo quickly stood up, stepped forward, and grabbed the other party’s shoulder before examining his face.
“Open your mouth a little.”
As he tried to force the other party to open his mouth, Jaeyoung pushed Sangwoo away and coughed two or three times, as if something was stuck in his throat. Then he made a gesture to drink water again. Sangwoo took the glass from the other party’s hand and placed it far away.
“What’s wrong?”
Jaeyoung just frowned in confusion, but Sangwoo’s face turned pale.
“Stand up. Hurry, you need to go to the hospital.”
“Why?”
“It’s not something to be taken lightly... Get up quickly.”
Sangwoo pulled Jaeyoung’s arm forcefully with his hot passion, but the other side stubbornly refused to budge even a little.
Do we need to go to the emergency room now? If it has passed through the food pipe, do we need to use a camera to examine the stomach? Sangwoo’s head was in a state of confusion and chaos like never before. Whatever the event may be, taking Jaeyoung to the hospital is the most urgent matter.
“Wait, hold on.”
Jaeyoung slowly pulled his hand out of Sangwoo’s grip and looked at him, alternating between his gaze and the cake. Then he picked up a fork and crushed the remaining cake, revealing a golden metal piece underneath.
“...”
Jaeyoung picked up the ring with a blank expression on his face, while Sangwoo stood still, feeling as if he had turned into a statue.
“Damn it.”
This is what they call bad luck – even if he falls and breaks his nose [1], misfortune clings to him [2], the curse of Murphy’s law [3]. Sangwoo was so weak that he had never believed in astrology infiltrating his mind and causing him distress.
In the review blog, it was said that after the proposal, tears of admiration would well up when the proposee found the ring in the cake, but Jaeyoung’s partner put his finger on their mouth, laughed lightly, and used a tissue to polish the ring.
‘But at least it didn’t get swallowed.’
Sangwoo took a deep breath and returned to his seat, slumping his face onto the table without strength.
“Don’t put it on yet.”
With a sigh, his stubborn and adorable partner immediately put on the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
“Why?”
“I said, don’t put it on yet.”
“No, I will put it on.”
“... Please do as you wish.”
Overall, it was a terrible experience. Even though it shouldn’t have been this devastating, the event that Sangwoo had eagerly anticipated turned out to be a complete failure, with no expected results at all.
After that, what happened? Sangwoo couldn’t remember anymore. Is there more food being served? Or maybe coffee? He had been repeatedly attacked by failure and was in a state of near-death. He sat helplessly and accepted the food given to him. When Jaeyoung pulled his arm, he seemed to have stood up and went to pay. Suddenly, he realized he was already driving back home.
“Damn it!”
As he sneezed, Jaeyoung raised the temperature of the heater and grabbed his jacket from the backseat to cover his shoulders. Despite being a lovable person, sincere and not a bad person, why did it turn out like this? Sangwoo stepped on the accelerator with a desire to cry.
Jaeyoung sat in silence all the way home, and his anger gradually subsided. When he saw the other person sitting silently and holding a bouquet of flowers, he felt sorry for himself unnecessarily. When the car was parked, Jaeyoung unlocked his seatbelt and turned to look for Sangwoo.
“Hey, Sangwooya.”
“Why?”
“Let’s have two or three rounds of makeup sex in the car for a while.”
“Get out!”
Whatever, he would ask for a wedding or something. At this moment, Sangwoo thought about killing the other person.
“...Unfortunately, there is no doctor Jekyll[4.]”
After Jaeyoung put down the bouquet of flowers from the car as if being chased away, Sangwoo eagerly opened the rear door. A loud sound was heard from the outside. Sangwoo laughed when he heard Jaeyoung’s voice and got out of the car anxiously.
Jaeyoung approached him, gently teasing him for not expecting so much preparation, but when Sangwoo saw the other person’s face, he took a deep breath. Colorful balloons filled with helium gas, tied to the back of the skirt with a sign that read ‘Chu Sangwoo ♥ Jang Jaeyoung’, floated in the air perfectly, but Jaeyoung just looked amused. There was no impressive gesture.
“Why is it the font ‘Dotum’? Don’t you like the font ‘Gulim’?”
“We made a promise that we wouldn’t use it anymore, didn’t we?”
“Oh, that’s true.”
Did I choose the wrong font? I should probably consult Yoona.
While Sangwoo stands there dissatisfaction. Jaeyoung reaches to grab the sign and separates the balloons, folding the sign carefully. Then he held it to his chest.
“We have to keep it forever.”
Impressed or not, he couldn’t understand that reaction. Sangwoo said weakly.
“Go ahead.”
“Let’s go together.”
“I said go ahead.”
As soon as he saw Sangwoo’s expression, Jaeyoung understood and went home. When he saw that the other party had walked far enough.. Sangwoo pulled all the balloons down and opened the balloons to let the air out.
‘I wanted to make you truly happy, but it all fell apart.’
Sangwoo manages all the balloons with a bitter heart and closes the rear door.
‘But in the end, sincerity is important.’
Even though every event seen in movies and on the internet has failed sadly, Sangwoo still doesn’t give up hope, after abandoning all the balloons and walking to the officetel [5], he found Jaeyoung waiting in front of the door. Sangwoo felt slightly surprised, thinking that the other party would definitely have to enter the house.
“Why are you standing there?”
“We have to go in together, what’s inside, isn’t it? Like roses or candles.”
“...”
Jaeyoung hugged him from behind and kissed his cheek without realizing how Sangwoo felt. Then he unlocks the door. The other party hums, then sings, “Tam, Ta, Ta, Da, Dam, Tam, Taem, Taem, Taem,” as if implying to open the door. The humming stops briefly when Jaeyoung sees the image that appears in front before continuing, Sangwoo’s lips exhaling breath.
“No, I’m impressed.”
“Don’t say it teasingly.”
Sangwoo released Jaeyoung from his embrace and kicked the rose petal strongly towards the living room, he rudely took off his coat and hung it on a hanger. Then he walked to the refrigerator, poured cold water into a glass, and lifted it to drink all at once.
“...Are you angry?”
“Shut up and sit over there.”
Jaeyoung observed Sangwoo’s posture and walked to the sofa, using his backhand to sweep the petals before gradually sitting down. Sangwoo opened the champagne that Jaeyoung liked the most and handed the other party a glass as a ceremony, “Cheers!” he lifted the glass up to the ceiling and brought it down to Jaeyoung’s side. Sangwoo had hoped for it to fall on the other party’s head, but unfortunately Jaeyoung caught it mid-air.
Sangwoo went to stand in the middle of the table, where LED lights were arranged in the shape of a heart, before turning on the beam projector installed a few hours ago. He had thrown away all the cards that were prepared. Only one thing was left.
Sincerity.
Sangwoo pulled the laser pointer out of his pants pocket, opened the presentation file, and on the screen, countless hearts floated up followed by a photo taken together at the ski resort last year. Originally, he had planned to read the poem written by his father, which was on the front page, for the other party to listen to, but now he wasn’t in the mood for that. Sangwoo skipped to the next slide. [<Table of Content> Existing life plans.

“Powerpoint smells like Choi Yoona doing, distinctly.”
“Because she’s the one who made it.”
“Once in a while, I miss Bonobono [6] too. It’s a shame.”
Jaeyoung hugged the pillow tightly, his eyes looking somewhat gloomy.
“May I make a request? Please, don’t refuse.”
Sangwoo pleaded in his heart, taking a deep breath. He had never been afraid of presenting before, but this time he was trembling.
“I will start the presentation now. If you have any questions, please raise your hand. Don’t interrupt, please.”
“Please wait patiently, Captain Chu.”
“Close your mouth!”
