The Gossip of BL [E-book on MEB]

CHAPTER 49 : Mon Jam

Everyone arrived at the accommodation on Mon Jam that Book had booked. The lodging was designed in a clear dome style, providing a clear view of the outside. Kan was initially concerned that it would not be very private. Fortunately, there were curtains installed that could be drawn for privacy. Another downside that the staff mentioned was that it could get quite hot during the day, but the accommodation provided an appropriately sized air conditioner to help alleviate the heat. In contrast, the nights were very cold, with temperatures dropping to single digits.

"I will take this edge spot," Kan announced.

"Then P' and Can will take this side, which is closer to the air conditioner," Nun said.

"Alright," Book agreed.

Kan chose the dome's leftmost sleeping spot because he frequently needed to use the restroom in the middle of the night and did not want to wake up the others. Can and Nun chose to sleep on the far right of the dome. This left Book with no choice for his sleeping position.

"No options left, huh?" Book mumbled softly before putting his bag at the foot of the bed and sitting down beside Kan.

"What? Don't you want to sleep next to me?" Kan teased.

"No," Book replied.

"Oh..."

Kan playfully flirted after teasing his senior. He liked it when Book pouted slightly when being teased. It was unbelievably cute. Although the other was not typically described as cute, Kan could not get over how adorable this facial expression was.

If Can and Nun had not been there, he would have pushed each other down and started some intimate activities.

"You two, please stop right now! "I can see what is going on!" Can shouted teasingly, as if seeing some kind of aura emanating from both Kan and Book.

When the youngest heard the teasing shout, all he could do was turn and smile awkwardly. He had attempted to secretly signal Book, but did not believe P' Can would notice.

"Sorry," Kan apologized softly.

"It takes one to know one, little brother!" Can retorted, making a face before leaving the accommodation dome.

Nun, seeing this, followed along without fully understanding what the group of young men were talking about. She looked slightly confused because, while the three men were discussing somewhat suggestive topics, she had been busy looking at her phone and replying to chat messages from a white foreign man she was currently seeing.

"Wait for me!" she called out.

Book turned to look at Kan and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. He had not expected his friend to tease him. Honestly, he felt a little shy. Throughout his school years, his friends knew he liked men, but they had never seen the faces of Book's dates or boyfriends. The reason was that those young men did not want to reveal their identities to anyone because they were not ready to admit they liked men. Some friends joked that Book was making everything up, and that the stories he told were probably about imaginary boyfriends.

However, Book did not want to argue much about it. Because the more he said, the more it would seem like he was making excuses. He let people believe whatever they wanted, so he did not have to waste his time explaining.

It seemed Kan was the first person his close friends in the group had actually seen face-to-face. Although Book kept insisting they were like brothers, Kan and Nun knew well that it wasn't just that.

Kan himself didn't want to think too much about it. Even though their actions were more than brotherly, because they had agreed to keep their brotherly relationship intact and not develop it further, becoming emotionally involved was probably not the best thing to do. Kan may have felt shaken at times, but he was able to maintain good emotional control. He liked it this way too—no strings attached, yet still able to have fun in bed whenever.
