Unlike the forceful grip on the chin, it was a slow movement.
Lee Young-jin slowly raised his gaze to the lips drawing nearer. They approached slowly and gently touched his lips. It was lukewarm, a bit rough, and soft. Unlike something made of melted steel or bronze.
Seo Seung-hyun, who pressed his lips closely against Lee Young-jin’s, exhaled into his mouth. His lips automatically parted further, allowing warm breath to enter.
“Mmm…”
Lee Young-jin felt Seo Seung-hyun’s breath on his parted lips and willingly opened his mouth wider. He already knew how much Seo Seung-hyun wanted from their previous experiences. Seo Seung-hyun pressed his lips deeply against his, his large hands embracing Lee Young-jin’s waist and back. The poorly grasped sheet slipped down. The pink marks on the left shoulder seeped down, reaching the collarbone.
Not yet. ‘A little more.’
Fortunately.
Lee Young-jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Following the kiss, a faint rumbling sound of a massive metal yacht taking a breath resonated through the dim bedroom.
The luxurious yacht cruised forward at a speed of 15 knots, cutting through the rough waves.
Anyway, as Seo Seung-hyun had said, the past twelve hours weren’t particularly boring. In fact, there was no time for boredom.
The yacht entered the Ningbo waters in the early afternoon.
The sky was covered in gray clouds, and the fierce sea breeze roared across the surface like a blade. Seagulls circled around amidst the gloomy clouds. The angle of the sunlight peeking through the dense, ash-colored clouds was nearly perpendicular. The pungent smell of the sea stimulated the nostrils. The lowest temperature in Ningbo in January was usually around freezing. However, on this day, an unusual strong sea wind, confined to a narrow area, chilled the sea temperature and caused the violent waves to rumble, leaving traces of foam mixed with ice.
The yacht anchored in the open sea not far from Ningbo Port.
Seo Seung-hyun pulled Lee Young-jin, who was trembling on the deck, closer. Lee Young-jin hurriedly followed him, walking down the stairs connected to the hull and boarding a small boat swaying on the sea.
It seemed that everything had been prepared in advance, as there was no conversation.
A crew member wearing a lightweight padded vest led them into a small cabin inside the boat. The cabin resembled a waiting room rather than a guest room. Long chairs were attached to three sides of the cabin, and an oil heater buzzed in the center.
The boat departed shortly thereafter.
Lee Young-jin gazed out through the misty, frosted window, watching the stern of the hull on the choppy sea.
The massive white vessel swayed slowly on the sea of bluish-gray waves.
There were no other passengers besides us.
Lee Young-jin became lost in thought as he gazed at the super yacht, worth as much as one percent of South Korea’s annual defense budget.
To rent something like this, how many months of work would it take?
The sleek yacht, with a minimum weekly rental fee of 2 billion won, showcased its smooth body like a humpback whale as it swayed on the water.
It grew smaller and smaller in the distance.
The boat docked at a small pier.
Everything was fast-paced and exhilarating.
The salt-tinged wind whipped through the entire pier, lifting the sea surface and creating whirlpools. Lee Young-jin was wearing the coat that Seo Seung-hyun had handed to him, but the coat’s shoulders and sleeves were loose, constantly slipping down. Each time, Seo Seung-hyun firmly pulled the collar of the coat upward, covering it up to Lee Young-jin’s nose.
At the end of the road, a spacious limousine awaited.
Seo Seung-hyun grabbed Lee Young-jin’s arm. A man in a long coat and suit, who had been waiting at the door, opened it seamlessly. Seo Seung-hyun pushed Lee Young-jin’s back and ushered him inside before getting in himself.
The interior of the car was already warm, as if it had been heated for a long time.
As soon as Seo Seung-hyun got in, someone closed the door from the outside.
The limousine set off immediately.
The interior of the car was spacious. There were two seats facing forward, each with armrests, and a short bar and refrigerator on the opposite side. Everything was decorated in soft ivory and gray. Unlike the outdated mansion in Shanghai, it had a modern touch.
Lee Young-jin’s nose turned red, and he sniffled. A sudden change in temperature caused him to sneeze lightly. He leaned his back against the comfortable leather seat and tilted his body towards the door, slumping down.
Seo Seung-hyun opened the bar refrigerator and took out a glass bottle. The label had partially rubbed off, and it was difficult to tell whether it was written in Italian or French. The cold moisture on the surface of the bottle soon turned into droplets and trickled down. He drank about half of it in one gulp. Afterward, he offered it to Lee Young-jin, who shook his head and declined.
Feeling groggy, as if he had just woken up from a long sleep, Lee Young-jin’s body felt heavy and sluggish. His limbs felt weak and limp, perhaps due to the intense hours of relentless sex.
Lee Young-jin dozed off briefly.
Amidst his restless sleep, Seo Seung-hyun shook his shoulder.
Lee Young-jin found himself lying flat with his legs stretched out on the reclined seat, completely turned around. For a moment, he couldn’t tell where he was. His heavy eyelids moved up and down, and his eyelashes fluttered. Just as he was blinking his eyes, Seo Seung-hyun pressed the touch button on the armrest of the seat, raising the backrest.
“Get up.”
He pushed Lee Young-jin’s back. At the same time, someone pulled open the car door from the outside.
Cold air rushed in. The air smelled of asphalt, cement, and metal.
It was an airport. Various airplane illustrations and immigration signs were posted everywhere.
Suddenly, there were people surrounding them. Forming a diamond-shaped formation, security guards dressed in dark suits stuck close to Seo Seung-hyun and Lee Young-jin.
The airport looked prosperous and new.
The glass and metal dome ceiling shimmered.
Unlike when Lee Young-jin departed from Incheon, there were no complicated procedures this time.
They passed through a sparsely populated corridor and went straight out onto the runway. A uniformed staff member approached Seo Seung-hyun and spoke to him in Chinese, and Seo Seung-hyun responded naturally in Chinese. Lee Young-jin listened intently to their conversation, but there was nothing to be gained from it.
Two four-seater carts with transparent plastic roofs were waiting for them on the runway.
After boarding the carts, they traversed the intricate marked path on the runway and stopped in front of a sleek, black-and-white painted small jet. The small jet, resembling an orca whale, didn’t have any logos or initials that could indicate its owner. It emitted a strong paint odor, as if it had been recently painted.
Seo Seung-hyun frowned upon seeing it.
“Who painted it in this color? I only asked them to remove the logo. When did I tell you to repaint the whole thing?”
Another man who had been on the same cart replied, “Secretary Jang ordered it.”
“Our Young-hee has a great sense of style. It looks sleek and cool in black and white.”
Seo Seung-hyun grumbled and walked towards the jet.
A makeshift staircase was already lowered at the entrance of the jet. Two pilots and two flight attendants in uniforms courteously bent their waists toward Seo Seung-hyun. Seo Seung-hyun flashed a subtle smile in their direction.
Casually passing between the pilots and flight attendants with a lowered waist, he turned around and spoke to his subordinate who was following him.
“Is everything ready?”
“No problems.”
“Good.”
He lightly tapped his subordinate’s shoulder as he naturally stopped and turned. “Good job.” His narrow eyes folded as he subtly smiled. The subordinate deeply bent his waist.
Seo Seung-hyun stepped onto the staircase ahead of everyone else.
The humid wind swept through the open runway, mercilessly tousling Seo Seung-hyun’s hair and the edges of his long coat. Lee Young-jin hesitated. Seo Seung-hyun turned around and glanced at Lee Young-jin. There was a moment of silence, and then his finger flicked.
“Come here.”
Lee Young-jin’s feet moved again. Silently stepping onto the stairs, Seo Seung-hyun reached out and firmly pulled Lee Young-jin’s elbow. Lee Young-jin’s body was effortlessly pulled forward, leaping several steps on the stairs.
Inside the jet, a comfortable interior unfolded, making him almost embarrassed recalling the two hours in economy class from Incheon to Pudong.
The interior of the jet was painted in black and white, just like the exterior. The floor and lower parts of the corridor were black, while the surfaces near the windows and ceiling were white. Everything had a sleek matte finish, and in the center of the floor, black marble tiles intersected like decorations. On each side of the corridor, two seats faced each other, making a total of four seats. All the seats had a smooth, streamlined futuristic design. The upper parts, including the armrests and backrests, were covered in plush white leather, while the lower parts matched the matte black of the floor. It resembled the cockpit of a spaceship from a sci-fi movie more than an airplane seat.
Seo Seung-hyun confidently took a seat in one chair and gestured to the seat across from him for Lee Young-jin. Lee Young-jin calmly walked over and sat down. Two other people also came and took the remaining seats. There was the inflated balloon man. Lee Young-jin glanced at them for a moment, but the inflated balloon man quickly turned expressionless. It seemed that a few more people climbed the stairs, but they didn’t enter this area of the jet.
Soon, the seat belt sign blinked and a ding sound rang out. [Hello. It is an honor to have our CEO on board. I am the pilot in command of this aircraft…] The announcement continued for a moment.
The wait wasn’t long. The plane began to taxi down the runway, gaining speed, and in an instant, it took off.
After about ten minutes, the seat belt sign was turned off, but Lee Young-jin gripped the seat belt tightly with both hands and stared blankly into the expanse of the wide aisle without blinking.
Seo Seung-hyun chuckled.
“Is this your first time on a plane?”
“…No.”
There was no need to explicitly mention that this was his second time.
Seo Seung-hyun unbuckled his own seat belt, got up from his seat, and approached Lee Young-jin. He bent down and placed his hand over Lee Young-jin’s hand, which was gripping the seat belt tightly. Lee Young-jin raised his chin slightly, looking at him with questioning eyes. Seo Seung-hyun smiled at him and pulled the seat belt buckle, releasing it for him.
“Get up.”
He helped Lee Young-jin up.
“It’s just a two-hour flight, no need to sit uncomfortably.”
Lee Young-jin was about to say that he wasn’t uncomfortable in this seat, but he decided to keep quiet.
He followed Seo Seung-hyun down the aisle. The security guards sitting in the other two seats didn’t even glance at them.
The plane was cruising quite smoothly. They had passed an altitude of 10,000 feet a little while ago.
At the rounded cylindrical end of the corridor, there was a sliding door covered in shimmering black material, as if a carrot had been sliced. Seo Seung-hyun pushed the door and opened it.
Inside the door, there was a small room resembling a hotel suite.
The slightly elongated room resembled a giant capsule hotel. In the middle of the room, there was a neatly made double bed, and on the opposite wall, a large TV was mounted. The wall behind the headboard of the bed was adorned with indirect lighting, emitting a soft and gentle crimson glow. It was a sophisticated interior reminiscent of the luxurious cabins on the yacht they had previously boarded. For a brief moment, Lee Young-jin glanced at Seo Seung-hyun, as if getting a glimpse of his taste.
Seo Seung-hyun nudged Lee Young-jin’s back, leading him into the room, and soon followed inside.
The door closed automatically.
Suddenly.
Seo Seung-hyun leaned against the shimmering black wall, looking down at Lee Young-jin. Their eyes met. The corner of Seo Seung-hyun’s lips twitched slightly. He flicked his finger towards Lee Young-jin.
Lee Young-jin, as if possessed, took two hesitant steps towards him. One final step. Seo Seung-hyun forcefully grabbed Lee Young-jin’s waist with one arm. Their bodies were pulled together. Their chests collided. Lee Young-jin let out a faint moan as he collided with the wall-like chest. Seo Seung-hyun grabbed Lee Young-jin’s chin with his other hand. Their lips touched. Seo Seung-hyun’s finger pressed against his cheek, making him part his lips. His mouth opened. Their tongues immediately intertwined. Just as it seemed like their tongues were overlapping, a thick tongue that didn’t belong to him, but rather to another person, filled the space between his tongue and the roof of his mouth.
“Mmm, ah, mm…”
Lee Young-jin weakly gripped Seo Seung-hyun’s chest with both hands as he moaned. The tongue that had forcefully entered his mouth seemed to wriggle its way deep into his throat. It was an excessively sensual and repulsive action to be called a kiss. In an instant, heat rushed into his belly button, and his waist twitched. The moistness rose from the back of his eyeballs, obscuring the surface of his hazy black eyes.
The thick chest pressed against him, overwhelming Lee Young-jin’s body. Seo Seung-hyun’s strong arms tightened around his waist. Lee Young-jin’s back arched backward. The shock and pain caused tears to well up in the corners of his eyes. The man who was actually breaking his back by embracing him was the same man who could easily shatter it.
Lee Young-jin weakly pushed Seo Seung-hyun’s cheek and chin with his trembling hands.
Their lips slightly parted.
Their erratic breaths, tinged with various emotions, circled between their almost-touching lips.
“It hurts, please stop.”
He whispered in a hoarse voice.
“I said not to be rough…”
