Chapter 244: Does he think he’s a virgin or something?

As Shinwoo said, he wanted their relationship to start off with a probation period. That is, Dongwoo would watch him, how he acted, and if he would be a suitable lover.

And the probation was officially over when Dongwoo said so or if he made a move on Shinwoo.

Shinwoo promised never to make a move.

(Ah, I can’t hold it in. This guy is a snake. He’s a fake. Dongwoo, I wish I could warn you but I can’t)

(⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ

In the first few days, he decided he would help take Dongwoo’s mind away from what was bothering him.

He took him out to an amusement park and played a lot of games with him. It was something Dongwoo had never done before so it was kind of exciting.

There were a lot of rides and games to play and he had fun.

And after that, Shinwoo took him out to dinner. It wasn’t anything too fancy but Dongwoo rated it five stars since it was a restaurant that offered full-course meals that were very delicious.

One didn’t need to go to a five-star restaurant to be able to eat good food.

Shinwoo did a lot of ’good’ deeds for Dongwoo and before long, Dongwoo had started feeling he was a really good guy and if he could get even more comfortable with him, maybe his trauma wouldn’t act up and they could maybe get intimate on a level more than kissing.

Of course, they had never kissed yet and their first kiss was initiated by Dongwoo, who made sure to check both sides and make sure they wouldn’t get caught by the neighbors.

Shinwoo mistook this as a sign and wanted to take things forward.

(Never trust them when they say they can have and will have a relationship without sex. It’s just bull talk.)

He trailed his hands over Dongwoo’s skin and Dongwoo flinched, but not the excited kind of flinching but fear. He shuddered and furrowed his eyebrows. He couldn’t take it.

Shinwoo mistook that as a shudder of excitement and grinned.

"Shall we take things inside?" Shinwoo suggested, blowing on Dongwoo’s ear but that only gave him goosebumps.

"Um, let’s not... Let’s not take things forward." Dongwoo said, gently pushing him back and smiling awkwardly. "Well, I already told you I won’t be able to have sex with you. So..."

"Haha, of course," Shinwoo said, keeping his smile up. He hid his bitter disappointment behind that smile and though Dongwoo could tell he was disappointed, by the look in his eyes, he did not know to what extent.

"Then, I’ll see you tomorrow? I... I have to go to work early, so..."

"Of course. You can turn in early." Shinwoo said and leaned in to kiss his eyebrows. "I’ll see you tomorrow."

Dongwoo nodded and closed the door.

And Shinwoo left outside, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, showing the bitterness he felt at being rejected.

"Ah, this is driving me crazy." He muttered and stared at the door. He rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Is he a fucking retard or something? Doesn’t he know that this is the part where he lets me in?"

(Note: Shinwoo doesn’t always wear his glasses. Some days, he does and other days, he leaves it. But he takes it as a compulsory act to wear it to work)

He walked away from the door and kicked the trash can to the side. It fell and spilled the trash but what did he care?

"Fucking! Fucking! Fucking retard!" He kept muttering on his way out.

Dongwoo, from appearance and attitude, looked like an easy target. So why was he playing hard to get for so long?

"What? Does he think he’s a virgin or something?" He took out a cigarette from his back pocket and a lighter. "He’s probably had a bunch of guys drill his hole. Yet he won’t even let me have my turn."

(Scum bag! My boy’s a pure virgin. Hmph!)

Shinwoo made his way to a clubhouse to meet up with his friends. Sure, he was the party type who would pick up both males and females to spend the night with. Even now.

"Hey, what’s going on with that dude you’re trying to drill?" One of his friends asked, over the loud music playing. "Is he giving you a hard time?"

"Don’t even mention it." Shinwoo said.

"Haha, and you’ve been investing so much in him. He should value you and open his legs already. Hahaha."

"He’s just being a pussy. He’ll come around eventually."

Yeah, Dongwoo would come around eventually but even after an extra month, Dongwoo did not make a move to give himself to Shinwoo and that was when Shinwoo started showing his true nature.

He spotted Dongwoo smiling at a guy while they talked on their way out of the building he was working at and he frowned.

Dongwoo got home to find Shinwoo waiting at his door. He was excited but the first thing he heard from Shinwoo was,

"Who was that guy?"

Dongwoo paused and his smile slowly shifted.

"Excuse me? Who are you talking about?"

Shinwoo went quiet.

Then, he walked up to Dongwoo, massaged his shoulders quite strongly, and whispered in his ear.

"You seem to have had a lot of fun at work today. What? Did they tell you a funny story?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Is that why you were so happy and laughing like that?" He asked but Dongwoo couldn’t quite grasp what he was talking about. "Or did you tell them a funny story instead?"

"Shinwoo, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Please, make yourself clear."

Shinwoo looked at him and then laughed.

"Dongwoo, you don’t look very good in the eyes." Shinwoo said. "You know that, right?"

"Of... Of course." Dongwoo answered.

"Good. But in my eyes, you look quite okay." Shinwoo added. "And you could even look cute sometimes and do you know why? It’s because I like you and the person I like looks great in my eyes and only my eyes. To everyone else," he whispered once more, "...you’re probably another plain Jane walking on the street. So, don’t let them deceive you and try to entice you with compliments that aren’t true."

"I know." Dongwoo answered. "I don’t... I don’t need you to tell me that."

"Great that you know. So, don’t smile or laugh with others. I don’t want them gossiping behind your back that you look ugly when you smile or laugh."

Dongwoo stared at him and then nodded.

"I won’t."

"Good. Now, let me kiss you. You’ve worked really hard today. A job well done." He said and checked both sides to make sure there was no one before leaning his face closer. "Why don’t you take the initiative this time?"

Dongwoo was feeling uncomfortable and he gulped. Nevertheless, he had to do this much, so he leaned in and kissed him.

Shinwoo smirked.

"You’re such a good guy. Don’t let others take it for granted." He said. He shoved his fingers into Dongwoo’s hair and hugged him.

"Hm. I won’t."

He looked like he was starved of affection and Shinwoo decided to use that to his advantage. He would curl the starved Dongwoo around his fingers and then get what he wanted.
