In the bustling campus of Eastwood University, two students led remarkably different lives. Jaemin, a college student with a heart of gold, was known for his impressive victories in the boxing ring, earning him the nickname "Crusher." Despite his tough exterior, he remained kind-hearted and approachable, admired by both his fellow boxers and his peers.
On the other side of the campus, Jeno lived a quiet and solitary existence. His father, a renowned boxer in his time known as "The Killer," had cast a long shadow over Jeno's life. It was a shadow that left him isolated and distrusting of those around him. He harbored a secret talent for boxing, honed by years of watching his father train, but he had no desire to follow in his footsteps.
One fateful evening, Jeno found himself in the college's small, dimly lit gym. The rhythmic sound of leather hitting the heavy bag echoed through the room as he practiced his punches. With a mask concealing his face, he sought refuge in the late-night solitude, far away from prying eyes.
Unbeknownst to him, Jaemin had a habit of pushing himself late into the night in the same gym. One evening, driven by an unexplainable urge to improve his skills, Jaemin stumbled upon the masked stranger's training session. What he witnessed left him in awe.
Jaemin was captivated by the fluidity and grace of the stranger's movements, the way each punch was executed with precision. He had never seen anyone train with such dedication and skill. He couldn't tear his eyes away.
As the weeks passed, Jaemin found himself drawn back to the gym, hoping to catch another glimpse of the mysterious boxer. Little did he know that this encounter would set in motion a series of events that would change both of their lives forever.
Jeno was standing in the corner of the cabin. I was just pressing him to the wall, our fingers gliding down and up our chests, faces, sides, backs, thighs. The way he had taken me on my bed almost an hour ago was as if a tornado has crossed my inner house. Jeno was the most passionate lover I have ever had, the most skilled lover, the most precious in a way.
His palm rested on my cheek, his eyes carried some nostalgia when he bent his head to the side watching me.
"I can't believe you will be gone in a week and three days." His palm trembled.
"You can come with me." I leaned in to catch his lips in mine.
"I can't. Ellie needs me."
I let go of his lips watching his trained chest rather than his face.
"So let's cherish what we have here even more."
"Jaemin!"
"What?"
"Are those really your words?" Jeno looked at me seriously.
"Yes, why?" I asked buffed.
"So why are you ready to destroy The Lagoon?"
