In a Maze...

Epilogue

Embracing Jinyoung in his arms, burying his face in Jinyoung's hair and locking his one leg around Jinyoung's thighs, Mark could not get enough of all of these.

On Jinyoung's small bed, their whole bodies were in contact, nuzzling against each other and the sexual tension arising.

But just lying together and releasing the exhaustion from work, was almost as good as sex. The silence of the room gave them solitude.

After work, they usually met either at Mark's place or Jinyoung's, and always ended up sleeping together at one of those places. Mark's place had more space and rooms then Jinyoung's and Mark had always thought it would be better if Jinyoung moved into his apartment. But considering why Jinyoung loved living here, he did not want to force Jinyoung to get out of here. In fact, he had never asked Jinyoung.

"Do you like my place, Jinyoung? I bet you're now as familiar with it as I've been. What do you think of it?"

"Of course, I like it," Jinyoung said, "The whole place just screams your name. All the more for that, I love it."

"If I ask you to move in, will you?" Mark's voice was muffled by Jinyoung's hair but Jinyoung went silent, having clearly heard it.

Mark got anxious as the silence ensued; he did not want Jinyoung to consider this a must or obligation.

"I don't mean you've to, Jinyoung. I'm just asking. I know you don't want to leave this place. It has a lot of memories for you, I understand. Just forget what I asked."

This time, Jinyoung shifted in his arms and Mark loosened his hands as Jinyoung turned to face him. The whole room was only lit by the bedside lamp, but Mark could see Jinyoung's eyes so clearly and he was once again lost in them.

"It's not that I don't want to move into your apartment. I was just thinking," Jinyoung said, staring into Mark's eyes, "I feel much attached to this place. I had my happy time with my parents here and this has been a shelter for me for years. Especially when I was lonely, this was the very place where I hid myself."

"I understand," Mark said.

"But I'm not lonely anymore. You're here. Wherever you're, is my home. I wasn't hesitated but you brought this up so suddenly that I couldn't give the answer immediately."

"So, you're saying that you'll move in with me?" Mark asked, looking astonished.

"I'm just upset that you didn't suggest you moved in here instead," Jinyoung said, his lips faking a pout.

Mark laughed and pressed his thumb lightly against that pout, before kissing it away, "I definitely would've if this place were a little bit larger."

"I see you don't like my apartment," Jinyoung said, trying to produce another pout but Mark kissed it half-way.

"You mistake me. I love here. This place has a lot of memories of us. We met and have fallen in love here. Why shouldn't this place be special to me? It's just that it's a bit too small for two people to live."

"I was just kidding," Jinyoung said, with a smile on his lips and his fingers on Mark's cheek.

The delicate touch of Jinyoung's finger pads on his skin made Mark's heart twitch with wants and desires. He took Jinyoung's hand away and interlaced their fingers. All the while, he absorbed all of Jinyoung's attention in their eye contact and inched closer and closer still. Until his lips captured Jinyoung's and rocked them in his desires.

Jinyoung's free hand invaded the strands of Mark's hair and brought themselves closer, as their tongues explored each other's world. They had had countless making-out sessions and every time they did, something in Mark's stomach never failed to wake up and flip there, crazy and endless. Jinyoung always made him feel like a teenager, experiencing his very first kiss.

Whatever was in his stomach, however, did not stay only there but went down his groin, giving it a fierce arousal. Jinyoung moving closer to him did not help either.

"I can feel you," Jinyoung whispered, detaching his lips from Mark's.

Instead of hungrily catching Jinyoung's lips again, Mark shifted his attention to Jinyoung's throat and trailed his tongue along it. Jinyoung's satisfied, encouraging moans were music to his ear.

Then Jinyoung's bold hand was sensually moving against Mark's boner through the pants and this time, it was Mark who moaned against Jinyoung's skin.

So clouded by desires that they could not register how they had stripped each other, but they found themselves all naked and devouring each other's all exposed skin.

A good sex might not be a perfect proof of love, but every time he was inside Jinyoung, Mark always had that feeling of completeness, that desperation to display his love for Jinyoung in every move and touch, and that contentment with the knowledge that their wants, desires and worlds were joined together.

The aftermath of sex was always as good as sex itself; it was like coming back home for warmth after a thrilling journey.

Their arms were each other's comfort and gave them that feeling of security. Usually, they would either fall asleep in each other's warmth or talk until sleep came.

Jinyoung was now still and his eyes were shut; Mark assumed he was already asleep. There was only one duvet over both of them and that gave them more intimacy.

Mark was still wide awake; he lingered his eyes on Jinyoung's face and let himself be mesmerised by Jinyoung's fine, handsome features.

Their circumstances had been strange, Mark acknowledged that, and he had never thought, back then, that they were actually going to bring him and Jinyoung together. Everything about those circumstances, had been a tragedy, and the only good thing out of those worst situations was that he and Jinyoung had found each other. It might be selfish of him to say this but he was somehow thankful to those circumstances for bringing Jinyoung into his life.

Mark's hand caressed Jinyoung's cheek and at the touch, Jinyoung's eyes opened and gazed back at Mark.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Mark asked.

"When I felt that your eyes were on me, how could I fall asleep easily?" Jinyoung said, nuzzling against Mark even more, "I love you so much. Let's sleep now."

Mark dropped a soft kiss on Jinyoung's lips and whispered, "I love you too. So much."
