Passion Translation "Fanfictions"

Vol 1 - Chapter 18: Fluffy Chick and the Fox

Immediately after, Xinlu stepped out with a tray from a small room. The tea looked dangerous, so Jeong Taeui quickly stood up and took the tray. Xinlu's smiling face saying - "Thank you" - was also very adorable.

As his uncle had said, his taste had never changed. For the second time in his life, his heart raced wildly before such a lovely and beautiful young man.

"Have you adapted to this place now? It's tiring, isn't it?"

Sitting opposite Jeong Taeui, Xinlu spoke. Jeong Taeui momentarily pondered what that meant, but when he realized that Xinlu was asking about his condition after being here for a few days, Jeong Taeui nodded with an - "Ah."

If he said he wasn't tired, that would be a lie. In reality, just practicing and completing all the tasks during office hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. left him with plenty of free time to rest. Whether he drank alcohol or smoked, no one would say anything, so the schedule here was much more relaxed than in the military.

However, the tasks during official training were quite strenuous. He felt he had to complete twice the amount of work in half the time. There was a lot to learn, and the members working with him were top talents from the outside, so it wasn't easy to compete with them.

Carlo, with his massive physique, wasn't afraid of anyone. Tou always hovered around with simple thoughts, and Alta was a hot-tempered person reeking of alcohol... Thinking further, the madman he had seen in the video yesterday was also a rare talent...

Jeong Taeui didn't want to think about anything anymore. He sighed deeply to lighten his empty head. In what direction would the world around him turn?

"Are you tired? I have dried fruit soaked in honey. Would you like some?"

Suddenly, Jeong Taeui was startled when he realized Xinlu's presence. Xinlu was looking at him with a concerned expression.

He didn't know when, but Xinlu's face had come right in front of his eyes. He could even see the glistening fine hair on Xinlu's ears. The cheeks were also round like a child.

His heart skipped a beat for a moment. When Xinlu came closer, the scent of soap also wafted to his nose. Suddenly, his chest felt hot.

But it wasn't just his chest that felt hot.

"Um... I'm not very tired, but if it's from you, I also want to try."

Jeong Taeui forced a smile and tried to speak calmly. Xinlu gently responded, "Yes, yes," and stood up to go to the private room.

As soon as Xinlu disappeared from view, Jeong Taeui carefully, without making a sound, started pounding his chest like crazy.

What's wrong with you, Jeong Taeui? You've only met him for a few days, and you're already showing such an ugly side. Snap out of it, Jeong Taeui! He's still just a kid. Look at the fine hair on his ears and the cheeks still full of youth. How can you have such dark thoughts about a child?

But on the other hand, he could also hear a whisper in a corner of his heart. If he's 22 years old, he's clearly an adult. There's no reason to feel ashamed of having such thoughts. Besides, he's not forcing Xinlu to do anything. Look, they're still just drinking tea together, and the atmosphere is very good, isn't it?

Jeong Taeui was struggling with a mess of thoughts clashing in his mind. In any case, the top priority was to calm his body, which was heating up from the soft fragrance. Jeong Taeui wondered if it was because it had been accumulating too much lately. Yes, thinking back, it had been over a month since he last properly enjoyed that fragrance, but he still had a long way to go. He had to control himself.
