The Gossip of BL [E-book on MEB]

CHAPTER 37 : Re-Union?

The slight wheezing noises of Kan's laborious breathing jolted him awake, and his eyelids began to flutter open. For a brief moment, he forgot this was not his bedroom, and the body next to him was not his usual cushion, which he caressed every night, but his close friend Han, who was still sleeping soundly and unaware that his guest was snuggling him.

Kan shifted slightly, gradually regaining his senses. His vision was initially blurry, and he struggled to see what was ahead of him. However, as his eyes adjusted and the image became clearer, he was surprised to see himself embracing the other. He slowly lifted his arm, not disturbing the sleeping person beside him. But before Kan could get up, Han moved and flipped over, their faces meeting.

Damn...

Kan remembered the term vividly. He did not want to be agitated, and his brotherly pride kept him from it. Furthermore, he promised P' Yai that he would never cross the line with Han. But this closeness was evil, manipulating his heart right now.

Han's long, beautiful lashes enhanced his attractive face more than other men's. His nose and lips enhanced his facial features, giving him a delicate handsomeness. Kan's gaze swept over Han's face intently. They had been close before, but never so personal. And now he had plenty of time to examine each other's features thoroughly.

"Mm..." A mumble emanated from Han's throat, prompting Kan to swiftly shift his gaze elsewhere.

"You're awake?" Kan inquired, his voice still drowsy.

"Mhm," Han said casually before flipping onto his back and stretching with a yawn.

Kan sat up for a moment to gather himself before getting out of bed and heading to the restroom. He picked up the toothbrush Han had left out for him last night, squeezed some toothpaste, and started brushing. The scrubbing sounds echoed against the tiled walls.

"Crap..." Kan muttered under his breath as he noticed Han dozing in the open bathroom doorway.

"Let me brush my teeth," the room owner simply said before entering.

As Han approached the bathroom, their shoulders collided, causing the elder to feel something. He did not know why his body and heart had become so sensitive recently. Perhaps he was lonely or had been alone for a long time. Even a gentle nudge made him nervous.

"Bro..." Han said abruptly, looking in the mirror.

"Hm?" Kan muttered curiously into the toothpaste foam.

"Since this morning, huh?" Han remarked with a faint smile, nodding toward the mirror to entice the other to see.

Kan still didn't grasp what Han was talking about. He followed the directions given, only to be astonished and ashamed to discover that a part of him was aroused, tenting his sweatpants.

"Crap!" Kan quickly turned away, humiliated.

He wasn't oblivious to the hardness down below. He realized that was simply natural biology. But he had temporarily forgotten that he wasn't in his own room last night, nor was he alone. Furthermore, the flimsy sweatpants Han had offered him to sleep in provided little cover. So when it decided to wake up, the outcome was obvious.

"Sorry," Kan said gently.

"I'm just teasing, bro. I get it, normal male stuff," Han remarked with a slight giggle, leaning down to spit his toothpaste foam. "Like this, see, just tucked in."

Shit...

You're messing with me.

Kan remained silent as Han stroked his free hand along the erect shaft, defining its contour. He gulped hard, attempting to maintain his composure and emotions under control.
