ACM | Chapter 3.2

“Thank you, sunbae-nim!”

The juniors happily cheered as if they had achieved their goal and moved farther away from us. Taegang, who had stood stiffly without showing his voice to anyone, moved toward the table they were heading for, then suddenly turned back toward my side.

His eyes were still cold. He had usually been a quiet kid but kind, so his attitude, as if he were looking at an enemy now, began to worry me a little. Had I made some mistake with that kid without realizing it…

Just then, I felt a warm touch moving over my thigh under the table. From a position where the other people in the restaurant could not see, hyung had reached under the table and started stroking me.

It was a gentle, soft touch that seemed to be asking for understanding, like, ‘You were startled because everyone suddenly came in, right?’ The tension in my face loosened on its own, and I kept smiling foolishly while repeating that I was fine. Then I sipped the gamjatang broth, which had become salty from being boiled down.

I do not have a particular desire to get people to acknowledge us as a couple. If we can keep hiding it and meet like this, that alone is enough for me. If I got a little greedier, then all I wanted was for hyung to have me as the only person he kissed and had sex with.

* * *

I was on my way back to my officetel alone after parting with hyung. I was startled by the sound of someone following behind me, so I quickened my pace, and the speed of whoever was chasing me also got faster. Hyung had left the gamjatang place and gone straight to his next appointment, so there was no way the person behind me was him.

I had to go through a darker alley to get home from here… It looked really dangerous if I went as far as the entrance road to the villa building where my studio was. Thankfully, there was a convenience store at the corner of the road home, so I went in even though I did not need to buy anything, just to waste some time.

Whoosh-.

“Hah!”

It was just as I opened the door after killing time and was about to step out. Whoever had followed me must have been hiding and waiting near the entrance of the convenience store, because the moment I stepped out, they slammed right into me from the front.

I was frightened by the threatening size and momentum, and let out a short scream, but as soon as I confirmed the other person’s face, I felt relieved and at the same time a little deflated. The one who had been following me was not a stranger, but Lee Taegang.

“What the… It was you following me?”

“……”

Was he following me because he was upset that I had not taken his greeting at the gamjatang place earlier? The fear I had felt a moment ago about a mysterious stranger chasing me was gone, but his behavior, which I could not understand, was still just as bewildering. Then Taegang opened his mouth and fired an abrupt question that stabbed into my ears.

“Hey, are you a homo?”

“…What?”

“Why are you coming out of that motel with that sunbae alone?”

“…What are you talking about? You must have seen it wrong.”

I felt like I was trembling all over. Taegang’s answer to my denial, which was desperately trying to shut it down, was to scowl as if he had just witnessed something even more indecent.

When he frowned with that neatly handsome face, he looked more terrifying than any thug in the world. He was even more irritated because I was clumsily denying it in front of someone who had clearly seen everything.

“I saw everything by myself while the others were gathered in the corner smoking earlier. The two of you were coming out of Rain Motel, laughing together.”

“That’s…”

Even though I had been caught on the spot, I thought I could still wriggle out of it somehow since it involved two men. I had continuously hoped for the ending where Chorong noona and Jinhoo hyung broke up, but I had to stop this from falling apart by being followed like this. If the truth came out, noona would of course cut hyung off, but hyung would also clearly be unable to forgive me and would dump me too.

“Su… sunbae said he rented a room because he had drunk in the afternoon and got sleepy, so he wanted to lie down for a bit. We were supposed to meet and eat around here… Hyung called and said he had a lot of stuff, so I should come up to the motel to help carry the bags and bring them down together… So I also had to stop by the room hyung called me to and then leave…”

“……”

It was a flimsy excuse even to my own ears, something I had barely come up with by desperately racking my numbed brain. Even so, I had no other way. If I did not protest with something, then it would be the same as admitting what he had seen was real. Naturally, Taegang looked like he did not believe me at all, and without saying anything else, he simply turned around.

‘Is he just going to believe me and leave? Still, he is a junior from noona’s department, so he wouldn’t snitch on me to noona, right?’

But contrary to my hopes, it did not seem like he was going to believe it obediently and let it go. The moment he had turned his back and started walking back the way he came, he suddenly stopped and turned his head. He stared straight at me and muttered something, and although his voice was not loud, my ears, already on edge, were not going to miss it.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I heard that sunbae’s place is also nearby, so what do you mean renting a room to take a nap?”

“……”

“Nice try with the bags. You both didn’t even have a single bag on you from the start.”

I froze, unable to say anything. Taegang, who had been quietly staring at my dumbstruck face, soon turned back and kept walking down the path. Watching his back slowly grow farther away, I could not figure out whether I should tell hyung about this or just keep my mouth shut.

* * *

“Ah… it feels so good I’m going crazy…”

“Hng… hngh…”

An empty lecture room in the business college where there were no classes scheduled today. With my mouth covered so I could not keep making sounds, Jinhoo hyung was focused on rough thrusting from behind. Since there were a lot of students moving around inside the building, the noise made by people outside the lecture room came straight through the door.

The tension that we might be caught having sex in the lecture room surrounded hyung and me. Though since there were no classes, it was not like anyone would suddenly come in.

“Hah… there are people outside, so isn’t that making you even more excited?”

“Haa… ughh…”

“Today, your body feels even more sensitive too, doesn’t it? Hah!”

Just like hyung said, the situation of secretly having sex outside was strangely thrilling and made my body heat up. Not only me, but hyung too seemed to have been set on fire by the special nature of the place, because he was rougher than usual.

Maybe because of that, hyung finished earlier than normal. After it was over, the way he roughly wiped off the semen that had run out to the outside of my butt and pulled up my pants, which had slipped down, to dress me seemed a little rushed.

“I’m leaving first. Take your time and finish up.”

“Yes…”

I was still sprawled over a lecture room chair, not even having finished wiping away all the semen still left on my body. As if I were the only one drunk and lost in the ecstasy of sex, he had a calm, peaceful face while tidying himself up neatly and heading first for the back door of the lecture room.

Rattle.

“Huh? You weren’t answering your phone, so you were here? Do you have a class in this lecture room too?”

“Ah, Chorong.”

Startle-.

When hyung opened the lecture room door, the person passing by in front of it happened to be Chorong noona. It seemed she had come to hyung’s department building to find Jinhoo hyung because he was not answering her calls. This is bad…

What is this, running into her here of all places. I was still sitting in the center of the dark lecture room, so from outside the door they would not be able to see where I was. Even so, I reflexively ducked and crawled under the lecture room desk.

Please do not come in… Please do not come in and just leave with hyung… Please!

“I came in because there was a weird gap in time before the hour we were supposed to meet later, so I thought I’d lie down and take a nap here for a bit… Hey!”

“There’s no one in the lecture room? Let’s stay here a bit and go out later~.”

Flash-!

The fluorescent lights of the lecture room turned on brightly. She suddenly strode into the lecture room and turned on the light. If I had not hidden in advance, I would have been caught being here with hyung for sure.

“You were going to sleep alone in this pitch-dark place? There wasn’t someone else here, was there?”

“…What are you talking about? I just came in too and was about to leave right away.”

Hyung, too, seemed flustered by her sudden action of coming inside, because his voice was shaking more than usual. Even if I had quickly hidden myself under the desk, once the lecture room was lit up like this, that was a different story.

I could only cover my mouth and watch the two of them, hoping hyung would quickly drag noona out. Since I was looking from under the desk, the view was very limited, but I could clearly see the scene of noona clinging tightly to hyung’s arm.

“Jinhoo-yah~. Lock the door.”

“Why?”

“Let’s play around here a little. This lecture room has a nice view and it’s pretty.”

Contrary to my hopes, noona did not seem to want to leave. Even if hyung knew I was still in the lecture room, he should quickly take noona and get out. For some reason, hyung seemed interested once noona started clinging to him so actively, and he was only busy watching.

‘What are you doing? My leg feels like it’s going to cramp…’

And then something unbelievable happened. As noona started touching the lower half of hyung’s body and making sexual contact, hyung also began responding as if he did not dislike it. It had only been five minutes since he had relieved his lust with my body. And now hyung was letting a woman’s touch in and getting excited again.

Please… hyung, I’m here. Don’t do that in front of me, where I can see and hear it… How can you, with what was inside my body just moments ago… do it with someone else.

Creak, squeak-!

“Jin… Jinhoo, haa!”

“Shh, we’ll get caught…”

Their bodies tangled together and the lecture room desks were shoved this way and that, making horrible sounds. The noise, proof of just how violently they were going at it, mixed with their breathless moans, made it no different from a nightmare.
