Strategic Mating Partner Chapter 103

“My grandfather apparently owns an apartment here. No one lives in it now, but family members use it whenever they go on business trips, so there’s someone who manages it periodically, so it should be fine to stay for a short while.”

Oh…. As expected, the young master of Ilun Pharmaceuticals is different. For a moment, Taehyun had wondered how they would overcome the situation where all the surrounding hotels and motels were fully booked, but he had not expected that they would have numerous real estate properties scattered overseas, so he was unknowingly impressed.

“If it’s uncomfortable, shall we go to a hotel?”

Sejin asked with an attitude as if he would turn the car around right away, so Taehyun quickly asked back.

“Are there any vacant rooms in a hotel at this time?”

To which Sejin answered nonchalantly.

“The regular rooms are probably all full, but there will be VIP-only royal suites available.”

What is a royal suite anyway. Whatever it was, with the accommodation prices for regular rooms having already jumped 5 to 20 times, there was no way that royal suite would be under three digits. Taehyun immediately shook his head.

“No. Let’s go to your place. Home is the most comfortable, what’s with a hotel.”

It would not be good to stand out in a neighborhood where many Korean expatriates live anyway. At least since they were of the same sex, a scandal would not break out right away, but if even a witness account were to spread, people would inevitably wonder why the two, a combination whose only point of contact was the agency they belonged to, were spotted at a high-end hotel.

Perhaps the day would come when they would admit to their relationship someday, but it was not now. At the very least, it was premature until both of them had safely achieved results in this Olympics. Because if either one of them did not perform up to their usual condition, they would be stoned with accusations like ‘their skills declined because they were too busy with their love life.’

Of course, not everyone might point fingers like that. The age difference was honestly not that small, but it was not like a 30-something was dating a kid who just turned twenty; this was a level that could be considered for extenuating circumstances.

‘……’

Taehyun’s conscience pricked him slightly, but he soon finished rationalizing. It is not like I made the first move, the other side clung to me to the point of playing me like a fiddle on the palm of his hand, so what do you want me to do…. While thinking that, he slyly checked Sejin’s face. It was his first time driving on an American road, and he looked quite nervous. That was a little funny and cute, so as Taehyun was staring at him, Sejin glanced at Taehyun once and then said while staring out the car window again.

“Uh… stop looking at me.”

Why was that awkward-sounding voice so helplessly lovely? Taehyun thought he was a severe case and let out a hollow laugh. Still, it was nice. The pretty face that he had only been able to see through ugly pictures for the past few days was conscious of him, with a slight blush on both cheeks.

“Why, didn’t you say I was yours at one point? I’m looking because you’re cute, what’s the complaint?”

At that, Sejin’s earlobes turned the color of well-dyed maple leaves again as he answered.

“You said you hadn’t accepted it yet.”

“So you want me to stay in a state of not having accepted it?”

“No, that’s not it….”

Just as Sejin was mumbling something, something suddenly strode out onto the road.

“Hey, in front!”

“I saw it!”

They were both startled and shouted at the same time, and when he slammed on the brakes, the body of the not-so-cheap luxury foreign car shook for a moment. However, it came to a stop with a smooth braking that could not be compared to Taehyun’s small SUV.

“What is that?”

What appeared before Taehyun’s eyes, after he had barely come to his senses, was a small furry beast walking as if crawling low on the ground. It was about the size of a dog or a cat, but it did not seem to be either. For a moment, he was surprised by its form, with its strangely matted and rough-looking fur, and Sejin spoke first.

“Isn’t it a raccoon? It looks like it has some stripes….”

At Sejin’s words, Taehyun also opened his eyes wide again and saw that it was indeed a creature that looked like a raccoon. Thanks to the deserted road late at night, after patiently waiting for the raccoon to cross the road and then moving the car again, a hollow laugh burst out on its own. Of course, this was not something Sejin had accomplished. But seeing Sejin, with a rather serious expression, lowering the window to meticulously check if the raccoon had really crossed safely, if another one would appear, or if there was a possibility that the one that just crossed would come back, made him keep smiling foolishly. He had a thought that in the future, with this guy, everything would become a funny story that they could laugh about when they look back. As if he felt Taehyun’s obvious gaze, Sejin, pfft, turned his head away and muttered.

“It can’t get hit after it went to all the trouble of crossing.”

The way he said that, as if it were an excuse and with embarrassment, kept making him break into a smile. Staring at him like that made him want to touch and tease him, so Taehyun forced himself to turn his head toward the car window.

‘Who told you to have such a good reaction anyway.’

While he was muttering a childishly pathetic excuse, the car picked up speed again and raced down the road. A short while later, the place Sejin took Taehyun to was a neat residential area, just like in a picture. ‘Oh, I’ve seen places like this a lot in American dramas.’ Taehyun was about to blurt that out but shut his mouth when he saw Sejin was tense all over again.

‘It’s not like it’s his first or second time….’

While Taehyun took a step back and waited, Sejin turned on his phone screen, entered the passcode for the door lock, and then, as soon as it was unlocked, pulled the door open.

“It’s done. Come in.”

At Sejin’s permission, Taehyun did not hesitate and quickly stepped inside. Thud, Sejin, who had entered first, turned on the light, and two pairs of indoor slippers, as if someone had prepared them in advance, greeted the two of them. Sejin pointed to the slippers and said to Taehyun.

“They said to leave the shoes you wore outside at the entrance and change into slippers indoors.”

Taehyun obediently followed the homeowner’s(?) instructions. The moment he had just shoved his feet in and taken off his sneakers outside and slipped his feet into the slippers, he saw Sejin looking at him with a face that still seemed to be gauging his reaction. Before Sejin could even react, Taehyun quickly stepped inside, snatched the nape of Sejin’s neck, and pushed him against the wall.

“……!?”

He liked the expression of his eyes widening in surprise for a moment. Maybe my personality is really bad, seeing as I don’t just want to tease him but also want to torment him. Taehyun swallowed the joke to himself, lunged for the flustered Sejin’s lips, and threw the jersey he was wearing over toward the sofa. Flump, along with the sound of the thin training suit falling to the floor, the familiar sweet scent spread out. As Sejin’s unique, refreshing, and fresh grassy scent filled the air, his lower abdomen began to tighten. Taehyun, unable to hold back any longer, sucked on Sejin’s tongue, touched the tender flesh inside his mouth, and swallowed the drenched saliva.

“Mmm….”

While doing so, he rubbed his already hard erection against Sejin’s thigh without even taking off his clothes. Even though both of them had not unfastened a single buckle on their bottoms, the feeling of the firm volume that had stood up inside their clothes rubbing against each other was good.

“Haa….”

Every time their wet lips parted, a waterlogged moan escaped. Along with the lewd sloppiness, as Taehyun also rubbed his erect nipples against Sejin’s chest, Sejin, as if he could not bear it any longer, suddenly grabbed the bottom of Taehyun’s t-shirt and rolled it right up, exposing his chest. His well-developed, firm, muscular chest was perky.

It was not a brawny body like professional bodybuilders, but his firm and thick chest, enough to fill a large hand, made Sejin feel impatient. With their lips still not parted, with only his eyes barely open, he grabbed both of Taehyun’s breasts tightly in his hands, and the soft volume that escaped between his fingers made his lower body tingle.

“Ugh….”

As he pressed and twisted the nubs caught between his fingers as if to torment them, another low moan erupted from between Taehyun’s teeth. The sound, which scratched his eardrums as if it were cracked due to his unique low voice, was unbearably good. Sejin once again inserted his long leg between Taehyun’s legs and, taking advantage of the brief moment their lips parted, threw off his own shirt. Taehyun, his face flushed red, was panting heavily because of the kiss and looking at him with wet eyes. Sejin met Taehyun’s gaze and asked.

“Shall we go to the bedroom?”

Instead of an answer, their lips crashed together again. The pressure of the well-trained, hard body touching his felt good. He could not stand the anticipation of seeing this wonderful body soon collapse from the pleasure he would give it and become completely aroused.
