The Pathetically Jealous Man, Chapter 1.2

CHAPTER 1.2

Lumin sat between Taesup’s legs on the edge of the bed and focused on sucking his penis, bobbing his head up and down. Despite Lumin’s efforts to make him cum, Taesup didn’t show any sign of excitement. On the contrary, he wore a serious expression on his face. The man looked down at Lumin.

“Hey, Lumin.”

“Yes?”

Lumin raised his head at Taesup’s affectionate call and wiped the saliva from his mouth with the back of his hand. Taesup bent down and got closer to Lumin’s face, still between his legs.

“Did you, uh, know there was an article claiming you’re dating someone?”

“Of course.

“Oh, y-you do?”

Lumin answered without hesitating, as if he’d asked an obvious question. Taesup turned away in embarrassment. After all, the rumor concerned Lumin himself—how could he not know? Still, the curious Taesup asked Lumin another question just as he was about to continue licking his member.

“So, uh, what did your agency president say? I mean, you’ve got your image to protect, so he must’ve been pretty upset, right?

Lumin raised his head again and cocked an eyebrow, gazing at Taesup with a questioning expression. Yes, Taesup had anticipated this look. After rejecting his sex partner’s confession a year ago, he rarely asked about his private life. However, as someone who has known Lumin for a long time, he felt he had the right to know about his relationship with some ahjussi a full ten years older than him.

“I mean, I’m just a little worried, you know? It’s not like you’re actually dating that guy, Ma Jehyuk or whatever his name is… And a rumor like that could ruin your entertainment career, don’t you think?”

Taesup kept rambling on and on, and Lumin stared at him with his large, round eyes.

“Well, I guess,” Lumin answered with his red lips, pursed in a line.

Relieved, Taesup let out a deep breath and reached down to stroke Lumin’s head. Lumin stayed still and quietly accepted the touch. Taesup felt the soft cheek and hair against his hand and tried to confirm the answer once again.

“So you’re not dating him, right? I didn’t think so either. I mean, what kind of ridiculous rumor is that?”

“We are really dating.”

“What?”

Lumin’s answer cut through Taesup’s relief like a sharp knife. The man froze and stopped stroking Lumin’s face. He felt like he’d been hit on the back of his head with a bat. His vision seemed to blur.

“Jehyuk Hyung and I are really dating.”

Lumin rubbed Taesup’s penis against his cheek with a pretty smile before putting it in his mouth.

Hyung?

It was unconscionable to be called “hyung” when this guy was ten whole years older than Lumin. Taesup’s head felt hot, and his hands felt cold, as if his blood were flowing backward. Even though they were in a sponsored relationship, Lumin and Taesup were compatible, and they’d spent a long time together. He couldn’t understand why a child who didn’t know anything about the world would date an old man ten years older.  His worries grew even more. 

“Uh, hey, Lumin. Lee Lumin. Wait just a minute.”

Taesup’s head was in a state of utter confusion. He frowned and pulled out the cock that wasn’t even halfway in Lumin’s small mouth, making slurping sounds. 

“What is it?” Lumin wiped the saliva trickling from his mouth with a puzzled expression.

“Y-you’re really dating him?”

“Yes...”

Like a pitiful puppy, Lumin looked up at Taesup, who was clearly distressed by his answer.

“I mean, I’m not saying anything against it. But you are dating him of your own free will, right?”

The flustered Taesup asked again in an affectionate tone. He leaned closer, and Lumin smiled awkwardly and turned his face away. As Lumin moved back, Taesup followed him, getting down from the bed and crawling on all fours. The carpeted floor of the room felt rough.

“Yes...”

And the answer Taesup received was again shocking. Lumin must have been out of it from his busy schedule lately because why else would he willingly date an ahjussi?

“But he’s ten years older than you!”

“How did you know that, Ahjussi?”

“Huh…?”

Taesup, who was crawling toward Lumin, stopped in his tracks at the unexpected question and sat down, scratching the back of his neck. He couldn’t admit that he’d looked up the fact on his phone.

“Well, I mean, I just…”

“I’ve always…liked older men,” Lumin said quietly. “And my agency president is okay with the dating rumors. He even said it would be good to be part of the first same-sex couple in the entertainment industry in this day and age.”

President Shim Seung-hoon, that crazy bastard... To summarize the situation: Lumin was dating Ma Jehyuk of his own free will, his agency’s president didn’t oppose their relationship, and of course that idiot Ma Jehyuk would naturally like Lumin. It was all so awfully perfect.

Lumin finished talking and looked rather languid. He tilted his head back and stretched out his arms and toes. Then he looked into Taesup’s eyes with a faint smile.

The man’s eyes shook, and he reached out slowly to touch Lumin’s toes. The soft pink toes seemed to show off their youth. Actually, Lumin’s whole body was pink. His knees, fingertips, elbows, cheeks, lips, and even his private parts.

Taesup got up and gently lifted Lumin to hold him in his arms. Lumin accepted the embrace quietly, used to it. Taesup laid him down on the bed carefully.

Lumin lay down on the spot where he had been put. Somehow, he looked even more like a fairy today than usual, and Taesup couldn’t easily let go of him. Standing next to the bed, he looked down at Lumin and tried to utter the words that had been troubling him.

“Hey, you little punk, then…” he sighed.

“What is it?”

Lumin looked up at Taesup with his innocent face.

Taesup stopped talking—he was worried about the answer he’d receive. But he couldn’t just worry forever. He bit his lower lip and finally decided to follow through with the question. He got on his knees on the bed, which swayed under his weight. He crawled between Lumin’s legs and spread them apart, looking at the private place in between.

“...Then what are you gonna do about our sponsorship contract?

“Oh, well, that goes until February, right?”

Perhaps because of the long nap he’d taken before, Lumin fluttered his eyes and had a calm expression on his face despite the fact that his legs were spread wide open and his genitals were clearly visible.

“Yeah,” Taesup gave a short answer and lifted one of Lumin’s smooth legs straight up to the ceiling to kiss his calf. The soft skin clung to his tongue familiarly. Then he looked at Lumin with an intense gaze and waited for his answer. His palms were sweaty.

“Then I won’t extend the contract after Februar—ngh, ahh!”

Taesup didn’t listen to the end of Lumin’s answer and instead vented his anger by barging in without warning. Luckily, Lumin was already loosened up.

Even though he knew that ending the contract was the rational answer, Taesup didn’t know what to do with his feelings and thrust himself inside Lumin.

“Mmph, huuu,” he groaned.

“Hnnngh, A-Ahjussi, are you u-upset? Haa, ahh, why did you suddenly…”

“Me?” Taesup grunted. “No.”

Taesup took a short break and then thrust inside hard.

“Why would I be?”

“Ahhh!”

Lumin moaned at the rough movements inside of him. Taesup rolled his pelvis and thrust recklessly. He didn’t normally enjoy rough sex; he had always been a considerate lover, but for some reason, he didn’t want to do that today.

What’s wrong with me? Why am I mad? Of course he should end the contract if he’s gonna start a relationship. But why do I feel so upset?
