Chapter 45 - 45. Pulse

"Jae... ahhh, so deep," Taesan moans breathlessly, his voice trembling as Jaewon holds his wrists firmly behind him. Each thrust makes him arch further, his body melting into the pressure. "Hngh... don't stop... I love it," he whispers, his words dripping with surrender and lusty desire.

 

"Ohhhh yeah, baby. Take it all... You are so warm and tight.... Ugh. That hole of yours is pulsating so much around my cock... ahhh." Jaewon gasps, picking up the pace with his thrusts—harder and faster.

Jaewon and Taesan, lost in the intoxicating wave of pleasure and longing, move together in synchrony, their bodies a tangled symphony of desire. Sweat on their skin, glistening in the dim light as each moan and the rhythmic echo of their movements stir the air, intensifying the heat in the room with every passing moment.

 

"Hyunngggg...hngh, I think I'm close....."

 

"Ahhhhh fffuckk.... Me tooooo....I'm going to... too..."

 

And with a last thrust, Jaewon spills his seed inside of Taesan. "Ahhhhhhhh...hnghhh Hyung...I came...in you..."

 

Taesan also squirts out on the bed. "Yeahh... hnghhhh fuck... Me too...I also...came... Ahh, your... cum is hot... hngh... ahhh. I love you, Jae..."

 

Jaewon's eyes widen in surprise. "I love you too, Hyung... more than anything in this world." He pulls him closer, his voice soft yet filled with sincerity. "You're everything to me, always have been." He slowly starts moving again. 

 

"Can you...handle one more round?"

 

"Yeah, I guess I can."

 

And with that, the night unfolds in a symphony of longing and desire, their connection deeper than words could express. With every touch, their chemistry ignites, a dance of passion and affection that seems to transcend time itself. The air is thick with their shared devotion, as they embrace in a union unlike any other, their love reaching breathtaking heights.

 

"Just once more, Hyung..." Jaewon pulls Taesan closer.

 

"Not this time... You said that before we started round four, and now we've just finished round eight. I'm not sure I have it in me for more. Your cock is so huge; it nearly did me in during round one."

 

"Ahhh, fine... as long as you're alright," Jaewon murmurs, gently pulling out and tenderly soothing the sensitive and sore hole of Taesan.

 

"I truly love you, Jae... and I am so sorry for everything I put you through all those years."

 

"No, Hyung... everything you did was in retaliation, and I deserved it. I betrayed our friendship. But I swear, I'll never do that again. I love you, and I'll love you with every breath I have left." Jaewon pulls Taesan into a tight embrace.

 

And with that, they drifted into a peaceful sleep, wrapped in each other's arms, their love and bodies finding solace in the warmth of their embrace. The moonlight softly filtered through the dimly lit room, casting a gentle glow on their intertwined forms, highlighting the beauty of their shared embrace. Taesan's head rested serenely against Jaewon's bare chest, while Jaewon's hands cradled Taesan's head tenderly, the other arm wrapped around him in a gesture of deep affection.

The next morning arrives quietly.

Soft light slips through the narrow gap in the curtains, spilling across the room in slow, golden strokes. It settles over rumpled sheets, over discarded clothes on the floor, over two figures tangled together in a way that feels both accidental and inevitable.

Jaewon wakes first. For a few seconds, he does not move. He lingers in that fragile space between sleep and consciousness, where the world is gentle and nothing demands explanation. Warmth surrounds him. Solid. Steady. Real.

Then he becomes aware of the weight of his arm. It is draped over Taesan's waist, his palm resting against bare skin, rising and falling with each slow breath. The sensation is grounding in a way that startles him. Not imagined. Not wished for.

Here.

He opens his eyes fully.

Taesan's face is inches away, softened by sleep. Without the sharpness he carries when awake, he looks younger. Vulnerable. A faint crease remains between his brows as if even in rest he is thinking too much.

Jaewon swallows. Memory returns all at once.

The quiet conversation that stretched late into the night. The hesitant touches that grew steadier. The first kiss that tasted like relief. The way Taesan's hands had gripped his shirt as if afraid he might disappear. The slow unraveling of years spent pretending. They had not rushed. They had taken their time, as though both of them understood that this was not something to be handled carelessly. Every touch had carried history. Every breath had held unspoken apology. It had not been reckless or impulsive. It had been deliberate.

They had made love with the kind of tenderness that comes from knowing exactly what it costs to lose someone.

Jaewon exhales slowly, careful not to disturb the rhythm of Taesan's breathing. His fingers flex slightly against warm skin, testing the reality of it. Last night had felt almost surreal, like something pulled from a version of his life he never thought he would be brave enough to live.

But this morning proves it was not a dream.

A strange nervousness begins to creep in.

Morning is different from night. Night forgives things. It softens edges, allows confessions to slip out easier. Morning demands clarity.

What are they now?

The question presses gently against his chest. Not painful. Just heavy.

He shifts slightly, trying to ease the stiffness in his shoulder, and Taesan stirs in response. A quiet sound escapes him, something halfway between a sigh and a groan. His eyelashes flutter before he slowly opens his eyes.

For a moment, he looks disoriented.Then he focuses. Their gazes meet. Neither of them speaks.

The silence is not awkward. It is searching. As if they are both waiting to see whether regret will appear in the other's expression.

It does not.

Taesan's lips curve faintly, still drowsy. "Morning," he murmurs, voice rough with sleep.

The sound travels straight through Jaewon's chest.

"Morning," he replies softly.

Taesan stretches without thinking, his body shifting closer. The simple movement sends a wave of warmth through Jaewon, intimate in a way that feels almost overwhelming. Skin brushes skin. Familiar, yet entirely new.

"You good?" Jaewon asks, quieter than usual.

Taesan blinks a few times, trying to wake fully. He turns onto his side so they are facing each other properly now, one hand slipping between them to rest lightly against Jaewon's chest.

"I think so," he says slowly. "Still catching up with reality."

Jaewon lets out a small breath of laughter, though there is tension beneath it. "Yeah. Same."

The room feels smaller in daylight. More honest.

He hesitates before speaking again. "Last night…" His voice trails off.

Taesan watches him carefully. Waiting.

"It wasn't just a moment, right?" Jaewon continues, forcing himself not to look away. "It wasn't something we'll pretend didn't happen once we're fully awake."

The vulnerability in his own words surprises him.

Taesan's expression shifts, softening in a way that makes Jaewon's throat tighten. He lifts his hand and cups Jaewon's cheek gently, thumb brushing along warm skin.

"Jaewon," he says quietly. "Do you really think I would let it be just a moment?"

"I don't know," Jaewon admits. "We've both been good at pretending before."

Taesan's thumb pauses. "Last night wasn't pretending."

"No?"

"No." His gaze steadies, clearer now. "It was the opposite of that. It was us finally stopping."

Stopping the pride. The distance. The fear.

Jaewon searches his face for doubt and finds none.

"It wasn't only about being together physically," Taesan continues. "It was about choosing each other without running. That's not something I'd take lightly."

Relief washes over Jaewon so suddenly it almost makes him dizzy.

He leans into the hand against his face, eyes closing briefly as if anchoring himself to the feeling. "I needed to hear that."

Taesan's lips curve gently. "You're overthinking."

"I know."

"But I get it." Taesan's voice drops softer. "Morning makes everything feel more fragile."

Jaewon opens his eyes again. "Does it feel fragile to you?"

Taesan considers the question seriously.

"No," he says after a moment. "It feels new. And new things are scary. But not fragile."

Jaewon studies him, the steady confidence in his tone easing the last tight knot in his chest.

"I don't regret it," Taesan adds quietly.

Jaewon's breath catches. "Neither do I."

They lie there, foreheads almost touching, the weight of years between them finally replaced with something lighter. Not erased. Just transformed.

Taesan's fingers drift absentmindedly through Jaewon's hair, slow and thoughtful. "We don't have to define everything today," he says. "We can let it unfold."

Jaewon nods. "As long as we don't pretend it didn't happen."

A faint smile appears. "We won't."
