Be My Baby - Vol.2 Chapter 5 Part 5
With a bang, Eungyo first shoved Seonwoo into the passenger seat and closed the door, then quickly walked around the hood to the driver’s seat, sat down, released the parking brake again, and changed gears.
On his way to the hotel after work, he had seen Seonwoo and Eunsoo and was about to pass by, but when he saw Eunsoo grab Seonwoo by the nape, he got angry and had no choice but to stop the car.
Although he was aware it was dangerous, he couldn’t just leave it be, so he had dragged him to the car for now, but… it was definitely dangerous.
He was starting to have strange thoughts, which didn’t feel good at all.
As a result, the air in the car was heavy.
Disliking that tense atmosphere, he clicked his tongue softly as he changed lanes, and even at that small sound, Seonwoo lowered his head.
At that seemingly terrified behavior, he glanced to the side but quickly averted his gaze.
Thinking that if he got aroused right next to him when it was unavoidable from afar, today would be over, Eungyo gritted his teeth and stared straight ahead.
But despite that, as his mind kept wandering, he asked the most pressing question at this moment.
“So, have you come up with an answer?”
“…Pardon?”
“I told you to think hard, didn’t I? About what answer I want.”
“…”
“You still don’t know?”
Seonwoo didn’t answer that question.
He hadn’t really expected much to begin with, but somehow he felt frustrated and sighed, and the guy next to him flinched noticeably.
That sensitive reaction made him feel slightly irritated.
“Can’t you hear me?”
“…I can hear you.”
“Then…”
Just as he was about to press for an answer, a strange sound came from the stomach of the guy sitting right next to him.
At that sound clearly audible in the quiet car, a sigh escaped involuntarily.
“Haven’t you had dinner?”
“…No.”
“Let’s eat first. What do you want to eat?”
Thinking they might as well eat since there were plenty of restaurants in the office district anyway, he asked that, and the guy answered softly.
“It’s okay. I can just eat at home. You look tired, go and rest.”
“…Whose fault is that…”
That slipped out inadvertently, and he clamped his mouth shut, but the words had already left his mouth.
And Seonwoo had clearly heard them too.
“Are you tired because of me?”
“…”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s not because of you that I’m tired. I have a lot of work. Let’s just eat. What do you want to eat?”
“…”
“Tell me. The baby wants to eat, right?”
“…Samgyeopsal.”
Thinking that he wasn’t completely cowed since he could immediately say what he wanted to eat, Eungyo slowed down and looked around the area.
Not frequenting samgyeopsal restaurants, he didn’t know them well, so as he was scanning the storefronts, he saw a large building ahead with ‘Samgyeopsal’ written on the first floor.
“Let’s go there.”
Saying that, he roughly scanned the parking lot location of that building with his eyes and then moved the car.
But Seonwoo didn’t say anything more.
He just sat quietly next to him, only glancing around nervously.
As the meat sizzled on the grill, Seonwoo, who had been watching with bright eyes, was stuffing the meat into his mouth as soon as it was cooked.
He must have been quite hungry, as he was chewing with his cheeks already full to bursting, looking like a rice cake that would burst if pressed just a little more.
As Eungyo watched that guy, whose cheeks looked like they might burst, while silently drinking water, the guy who had been cowed until just now smiled brightly and picked up more meat.
And then, after blowing on it to cool it down, he touched the meat to his tongue slightly as if it might still be hot, and at that sight, Eungyo suddenly gritted his teeth.
If only that were mine touching his tongue, he thought, and the next moment, Eungyo held his forehead.
“This is the worst…”
Thinking that now he was even comparing pork belly to his own flesh, he felt self-loathing as a human being again, and hearing that sound, Seonwoo stopped his hand.
And then he glanced around nervously.
At that reaction, it was already too late to regret.
Due to the continued lack of sleep and sexual frustration over the past few days, his inner thoughts kept bursting out of his mouth.
Feeling like he might blurt out “Put mine in your mouth” at this rate, he gathered his wits and spoke in the gentlest tone possible.
“Eat more.”
“I’m full.”
“How can you be full with that when you usually eat three servings per meal? Eat more.”
“…Aren’t you eating, hyung?”
The words “I want to eat you” circled in his mouth at that moment, but he wisely swallowed them and calmly replied.
“I don’t like meat much. Eat as much as you want.”
As he answered indifferently, refilling his empty glass with water because he felt uncomfortable for no reason, Seonwoo glanced around nervously before moving his chopsticks towards the grill again.
No matter how dejected he became, he must still be hungry, as he started eating the meat deliciously again, and as Eungyo glanced at him, he touched his tongue to the meat again after blowing on it because it was hot.
His head kept spinning at the sight of him constantly sticking out his tongue while eating, so he closed his eyes tightly, opened them again, and then started the conversation again.
“How was the hospital?”
“Pardon?”
“Did you go to the hospital?”
“Ah… Yes. I went today, and at 6 weeks now, it’s dividing normally and well.”
As expected of a genetic engineering doctor, instead of saying it’s growing well, he says it’s dividing well. Come to think of it, this guy even confessed his love by saying “Please give me your sperm.”
Even when talking about sex at an age when he should be very interested in it, he expressed the act itself as “mating,” making Eunsoo cringe, so at this level, it’s an occupational disease.
“When do you put it in the incubator?”
“I calculated between 15 and 16 weeks, so we should separate it when entering the 5th month.”
“So it grows in the incubator in that state?”
“Yes.”
As he answered like that and started eating the meat deliciously again, Eungyo deliberately turned his gaze to look elsewhere.
But no matter how much he tried to divert his attention elsewhere, he couldn’t help the warm heat rising in his lower abdomen.
If only he could rub against those chubby cheeks once, and put it in between those lips once…
At the fantasy that arose again, Eungyo quickly shook his head.
Not yet.
It’s not time yet.
Just wait a little longer.
If he waits just a little longer, this guy will soon figure out the answer.
If he gets impatient, this guy will cling to him first, so if he endures until then, everything will flow smoothly as expected.
Resolving his mind once again like that, he refilled his empty glass with water again, and Seonwoo, who had been eating meat, glanced around nervously.
As he seemed to be hesitating about something, Eungyo raised his head to look at him, and the guy who had been hesitating with his chopsticks in his mouth put them down.
“Um, I’m done eating.”
“Eat more if you want more.”
“No, it’s okay. I’ve already eaten three servings. It gets hard if I eat too much.”
At those words, he looked down at the grill again and saw that it had been cleaned empty.
He had only eaten the meat without touching any vegetables, but he had finished it very cleanly.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”
Thinking it was enough now that he had seen him finish his meal, Eungyo stood up first, and Seonwoo, who had picked up his bag placed beside him, also quickly got up from his seat and followed him, pattering along.
With the guy following behind him like a student with his cross bag, Eungyo paid at the counter, and the guy blocked him in front.
“I’ll pay.”
“It’s fine.”
“I’ll do it. I ate too much…”
Seeing him take out his wallet from his bag, apparently aware that he eats excessively a lot, Eungyo handed over his card first and paid, then left the restaurant, and Seonwoo hurriedly followed behind.
Glancing at the guy who was following right behind him like a puppy, Eungyo got into the elevator that had just arrived, and the guy hopped into the elevator and glanced at him.
“Are you sleeping at the hotel today too?”
“…Yeah.”
“I, I can stay at your house. All my stuff is there too…”
“How can I trust you? What if you disappear again?”
“I won’t run away anymore, now…”
At those words, muttering softly “Because everything’s been revealed,” Eungyo sighed, and at that moment, the elevator doors opened.
As he stepped out of the elevator, he spoke once more as if warning him.
“Don’t think about moving from that house until that issue is clearly resolved. I need to get a definite answer to feel at ease too.”
Thinking that the answer was already decided and he just needed to say those words, Eungyo shouted inwardly as he slowly walked towards the parked car, and the guy behind him let out a deep sigh and approached the car hesitantly.
“Get in. I’ll take you home.”
“…I can take a taxi from nearby.”
“Are you trying to go to Daegwallyeong again?”
Since there was already one precedent, Seonwoo couldn’t refute anymore and obediently went to the passenger seat and got into the car.
After confirming that Seonwoo had gotten into the car and even fastened his seatbelt, Eungyo also got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and started the engine.
And then he started the car and drove down the familiar road for the first time in four days.
Arriving at the complex after about 30 minutes due to hitting rush hour traffic, Eungyo stopped the car in front of the building entrance.
“Go up and sleep. If you’re hungry, have a late-night snack.”
Although it was ridiculous to talk about late-night snacks after eating meat like that just now, worried that this guy might be hungry but holding back out of consideration, he spoke first, and the guy sitting quietly glanced to the side and spoke cautiously.
“…Wouldn’t you be tired if you go to the hotel? Can’t you just sleep at home?”
“…”
“I can sleep in the living room…”
Whether it’s the living room, bathroom, or kitchen, just being in the same house was dangerous enough.
Especially now, when it felt like a volcano that could erupt at any moment, he deliberately ignored the pitiful guy and spoke coldly.
“I’m tired, so get out.”
“Are you very tired because of me?”
“…”
“I’ll get out.”
As Seonwoo answered in a weak voice and obediently got out of the car, Eungyo felt an inexplicable sense of guilt at the sight of him closing the car door and bowing slightly.
He really didn’t know why, but feeling as if he was doing something very wrong, he looked at Seonwoo’s face through the car window for a moment, then shook his head and changed gears again.
And just as he was about to take his foot off the brake and look towards the side mirror, he saw Seonwoo’s gloomy face faintly reflected in the darkness.
That face lingered in his mind.
The moment he saw that face, like an abandoned puppy, he absolutely couldn’t step on the accelerator and ended up stopping the car.
At that moment, he saw Seonwoo’s face brighten in the side mirror.
Seeing that face, he both sighed and laughed.
He wouldn’t be able to sleep at the hotel anyway.
So let’s endure this living hell for just one more night, he thought, boldly turning towards the car elevator.
And as expected, he had to spend that night wide awake.
