The spring night air outside still felt cold. Like skinning. Mingi hoped he could immediately feel the comfortable bed, soft pillows, and warm blanket as soon as he arrived without encountering Leedo awake first. He was tired, not in the mood to argue in these difficult conditions.
So, he opened his bedroom door slowly.
"Spending time with the kids all day isn't enough to make you tired, Mr. Song?"
"Oh my, Kim Gunhak, what are you doing? You scared me! What are you doing up at three in the morning?" Mingi clutched his chest, making sure that one vital organ he called the heart was still in its place. And he was thankful everything was fine.
"Waiting for someone who suddenly disappeared." Leedo's tone was as chilling as the air Mingi cursed on this night.
"Er... is it time for you to go back to sleep?" Meanwhile, Mingi, relaxed, tried to appear calm and not guilty.
"I refrained from scolding you tonight to let you rest. But you end up wandering without my permission. Do you want to learn to be a disobedient wife?"
"I wash your clothes, take care of your kids, tidy up the whole house, and you still say that to me?"
"I appreciate it. You've done a lot. But that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want if it's not good for you."
"Do you think I did something wrong?"
"Where have you been anyway?"
That was the question Leedo wanted to ask since earlier. Since he found his wife's absence beside him when he woke up earlier. And that was the question Mingi didn't want to face. He had gotten used to his husband lying several times lately. But continuously doing this over time made him feel uneasy.
"There's something important I need to discuss with Hongjoong."
There was a distinct pain for Leedo when he heard that name mentioned. It was the affectionate nickname of Mingi's most beautiful ex. The man. If it was a woman, it would be a different story. But essentially, if Mingi's biggest insecurity was his acne and chubby body, Leedo's was Hongjoong. He was not in a good mood when Mingi left. And when Mingi mentioned that name, it didn't help at all.
"Do you just accept that person's invitation to meet you in the middle of the night out there?"
"Relax. I didn't do anything weird."
Leedo's eyes rolled, pointing to a black bag Mingi held in his right hand. "Then what about this laptop?"
"Still remember the business project I discussed with him? That's why I agreed to his invitation. And, of course, I need this device."
"Is that so? Hmmm... but I still don't like the way he did it. I'll remind him not to do it again."
Reaching for his phone on the table, Leedo was about to call Hongjoong and intended to scold him right away. Unbelievable with Mingi's past that suddenly came to disturb the peace of his household.
"No!"
He stared in surprise at Mingi, who just shouted loudly in protest.
"Don't, next time, I'll reject him. But please don't blame him."
Leedo looked at him suspiciously.
"Are you defending him? You just defended another man in front of me? Wow. I'm impressed."
"That's too much. I haven't done anything meaningful with him to make you jealous like that."
"True. I can't imagine how hurt I would be if you did meaningful things with another man behind my back."
That sentence successfully slapped Mingi. Hard on his face. Also on his chest. His heart hurt. He loved this man. This Kim guy. The man who trusted him. But Mingi had been playing a game behind Leedo's back for weeks. He also couldn't imagine how hurt Leedo would be if he found him being intimate with the city man who had been sailing in his mind lately. Maybe he would feel sad when witnessing Leedo's disappointment in him. But maybe that was just a feeling of pity.
So now he wondered. Does he really still love his husband at the moment? Or is what remains only affection for togetherness and responsibility for obligations? Whichever it is, he doesn't want to guess.
"Why would I do that? You must be joking." And he was still very good with his pretense.
"Sure. I know you're just as faithful as me."
Mingi smiled after Leedo once again slapped him with his words. He didn't want to think about what would happen in the future. It was too terrifying. So, for now, he would just enjoy the pleasure available.
And bring Jung Yunho back into his mind. Then combine it with the pleasure of making love. He imagined him and Yunho being able to feel each other's skin. That was much more enjoyable. Pleasure in a fantasy that ignited a turmoil within him. Suddenly heating his body. Something that came suddenly, which he couldn't hold back.
Dropping his laptop to the floor, he rushed Leedo with rough kisses on the surface of his neck. Leedo, who was successfully surprised by it. Not expecting this at all.
"Hey, what's going on? Why suddenly--"
"Touch me, darling, touch me right now!" Mingi's grip on Leedo's broad shoulders vibrated. Leedo wondered if Hongjoong had just mixed a bottle of aphrodisiac into his wife's drink?
"Wow. Your hormones are really beautiful right now. How many weeks pregnant are you?"
"Eighteen weeks."
No wonder.
Mingi kept whining, asking to be touched with the deepest, roughest touch Leedo could give. Mingi liked scenes in bed that were done gently and peacefully. But tonight was different; he felt so passionate.
"Yes, yes, darling. Let's go."
Leedo lifted Mingi's body, which felt heavier day by day, and lay him on the bed. He started stripping off every thread that wrapped Mingi's body, touching every inch of Mingi's body with his lips and tongue in detail.
Good.
Because Mingi couldn't do it with Yunho, throughout this hot session tonight, he would imagine that Leedo was that man. He would pretend that the one invading his body tonight was the metropolitan man.
He hoped he could still control his tongue well enough not to moan Yunho's name rather than Kim Gunhak.
