Guon - T1 Empire: Mischievous Games

Chapter 32

Arriving at his upscale apartment building, Gumayusi felt a stark contrast to Oner's modest abode. The plush, modern design of the lobby, the attentive staff nodding respectfully, and the familiar scent of his home all felt comforting. However, today it was mixed with the weight of responsibility he felt for the ailing Oner in his arms.

Gently setting Oner on the luxurious leather couch in the living area, Gumayusi quickly grabbed a soft throw blanket to drape over him. Oner's face was still flushed from the fever, and every so often he would shiver, emphasizing his vulnerability in that moment.

Walking into the kitchen, Gumayusi took out a container of porridge he had picked up from a nearby store. He knew the warm, easy-to-digest meal would be perfect for someone in Oner's condition. As the aroma filled the room, Oner's eyes fluttered open, the fog of sleep and sickness making them appear hazy.

"Here, you need to eat," Gumayusi urged gently, holding out a spoonful of porridge.

Oner tried to protest weakly, murmuring, "I can eat on my own..."

Gumayusi chuckled softly, "Remember all those times you fed me during our lunches? Consider this payback."

As Oner relented, allowing Gumayusi to feed him, memories of their shared lunches, filled with laughter and casual conversations, played in Gumayusi's mind. It was one of the small habits that had developed between them, a simple act that felt intimate and genuine.

Once Oner had eaten enough, Gumayusi decided it was time for him to rest properly. Picking Oner up with surprising ease, he made his way to the master bedroom. The thought of sharing his personal space with Oner sent a thrill down his spine. For a brief second, his thoughts wandered into forbidden territory, envisioning scenarios he hadn't allowed himself to entertain before.

"*Get a grip!*" Gumayusi chided himself internally. "*He's sick and needs care, not whatever you're thinking.*"

Laying Oner down on the plush bed, Gumayusi ensured he was comfortable, adjusting pillows and tucking the blanket around him. As he watched Oner drift back into sleep, his heart swelled with a mix of concern, affection, and confusion over the depth of emotions he was feeling.
