Eighteen’s Bed Novel Completed - Chapter 188

He talks nonsense. But strangely, I burst out laughing. I couldn’t believe that such nonsense made me laugh, and covering my mouth with the back of my hand to pretend I wasn’t laughing was useless.

Go Yohan, who had been lying face down, raised his body and looked at me. It seemed Go Yohan was quite pleased that I was laughing, as he also started chuckling with me. The funny thing was that Go Yohan was also bewildered.

“What’s so good that you’re grinning?”

Then what about him? He was grinning too. I deliberately cleared my throat loudly and instantly wiped away my laughter.

“You get serious right away after I say something.”

“I’m not getting serious to make you self-conscious.”

“You’re so scary…”

Go Yohan intentionally hunched his shoulders. They were so broad that even when he hunched them, it didn’t feel like he was hunched at all.

Despite his words, he was teasing me. Thinking of Go Yohan from a few years ago, I wondered if this was even teasing, but sometimes I realized that Go Yohan’s teasing towards me was “Kang Jun-exclusive gentle teasing.” Like in his gaze, or when he subtly let me win. Though he rarely let me win completely.

So, I also occasionally picked at Go Yohan. It was also stubbornness built on my pride that I couldn’t be the only one teased. I lightly punched Go Yohan’s arm. So faintly that it didn’t even make a sound.

“Go Yohan.”

“Huh.”

“Go Yohan—”

“Wha-at—”

Look at him subtly imitating me. I lightly hit Go Yohan’s forearm again and said,

“I want to see your graduation photos.”

“See— Huh? What?”

“Why are you so flustered? I said I want to see your graduation photos.”

“You can just look at yours. You must have your high school graduation photos.”

“What’s the point of seeing the same face for three years again? I mean, I want to see your middle school graduation photos.”

Go Yohan raised one eyebrow. Now I could tell without even having to read his expression. Go Yohan is most honest when he’s displeased like that. It’s obvious. He doesn’t want to show his graduation photos.

“Why?”

“What why?”

“Why do you want to see them?”

Well, why do I want to see them? I’m not so malicious as to insist on seeing something a person clearly doesn’t want to show. I tried to think deeply, but if I thought too much, a part of my chest would itch unbearably. I just stopped thinking and stretched my lips wide to the sides.

“To check if you were obese in middle school.”

“You’re obsessed with such trivial things…”

Go Yohan openly looked me up and down. Then he said with a suspicious look.

“Are you into pigs?”

“Why does that suddenly come up?”

“Why does it come up? Because I’m suspicious, that’s why. Your taste is really unique.”

“No— what are you talking about, no, what if I said I was into chubby people?”

“Then I’ll show you right away. Wait. I’ll find the bastards who went to the same middle school as me and make them take pictures right away. Wait, I’ll get my phone.”

Go Yohan sprang up like a coiled spring, opened the door without a moment’s hesitation, and left the room. It happened in an instant. What on earth just happened? I stared blankly at the empty space, bewildered.

“Was it true?”

Go Yohan returned after some time had passed, longer than expected. However, Go Yohan’s expression was strangely triumphant. Like a dog that had caused some mischief. And I looked at Go Yohan feeling like a newly returned owner, staring at such a dog with fearful eyes.

Moreover, Go Yohan’s hands were empty. He said he was going to get his phone. When I alternated my gaze between Go Yohan’s hands and his face, Go Yohan spread his empty hands wide and said confidently,

“I don’t have any friends to contact.”

“Look at you making excuses. You have a lot of friends, don’t you?”

“No. I’m an outcast.”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Actually, I just didn’t bring it.”

His words changed again. I squinted my eyes. Go Yohan, seeing my expression, shamelessly tilted his head up and continued,

“Because I was afraid you’d dump me if you saw a younger, more handsome Go Yohan.”

“What the hell…”

“It’s because I have a lover who only cares about looks. What can I do?”

“Didn’t you just say you’d show me because I’m into chubby people?”

“See?!”

See what? Go Yohan gave an awkward snort. As if he had expected this.

“You really were into fat, chubby bastards. If I had shown you, I would have been dumped for sure.”

“I said no!”

“Ahem!”

Go Yohan cleared his throat lightly, but it was very artificial. Before that, I thought I saw his lips subtly curl up in the middle. I frowned and stared intently at Go Yohan’s face, but the upturned lips I had seen earlier had vanished like a mirage.

Go Yohan cleared his throat a few more times, then hastily lowered his head. His shoulders definitely seemed to be trembling. I squinted my eyes even more and looked at Go Yohan. However, when Go Yohan raised his head, he looked a little tearful.

At that moment, an immense wave of guilt seized me and slammed me to the ground. Was he crying instead of laughing? I got up, flustered and at a loss, and Go Yohan slowly walked towards me, then suddenly knelt down. And he grabbed my pants, pleading.

“Jun, please don’t abandon me. I’ll eat five bowls of rice starting today.”

“Hey, you’re teasing me, aren’t you?”

“What are you talking about? If you want, I’ll even roast marshmallows and dip them in melted chocolate.”

“You are teasing me!”

Ugh, seriously. Only then did I pull my leg back from Go Yohan’s grasp. Go Yohan, letting go, distorted his face more and more, then finally sat down on the carpet and burst out laughing. I watched the scene, feeling more and more mortified and burning up.

“Ah, you’re so cute, I could die.”

“……Hey, you really…”

“Look at your face, it’s all red. Crazy, so damn cute.”

Cute, my ass, you bastard. I clenched my fists and trembled. Why did Go Yohan seem to be enjoying teasing me more and more?

“You never intended to bring them, did you?”

“Of course not! What if you saw a younger, more handsome Go Yohan and dumped me, saying I’m old?”

“Do you think I’d feel that way about a middle schooler?!”

“No. I was handsome even in middle school. Of course, you’d say I’m handsome. And if you said I was handsome when you saw me in middle school, I’d go crazy with jealousy. It’s so annoying. That young Go Yohan bastard.”

“You’re really crazy.”

“I’m serious. Don’t dismiss my sincerity.”

What he said while kneeling on the carpet was quite serious. Go Yohan truly lowered his eyes and grumbled in a lower voice than usual. In other words, Go Yohan was truly sincere about what he said.

It was so childish, so utterly childish. I ignored my tingling fingertips and bit my lip.

“Don’t bite your lip.”

Go Yohan said nonchalantly, seeing that. While wiggling his hand as he sat. It was also my fault for walking over, as if enchanted, and standing in front of Go Yohan. And sitting down when Go Yohan lowered his eyes and his palm was even more problematic. Why am I doing this? I’m not an idiot.

However, when you see Go Yohan’s eyes, which lack pigment, you can’t help but move as if enchanted. I’ll excuse it as an unavoidable human instinct. In fact, Go Yohan is always the most noticeable person wherever he goes.

“You’re very obedient.”

My expression naturally contorted. Go Yohan lightly chuckled, then suddenly thrust his face close to mine.

“What…”

I took a deep breath. And couldn’t exhale. His grey-ish eyes were close, scrutinizing my face. His nose brushed against mine, and his exhaled breath touched my skin. I couldn’t even breathe.

“……”

“Hmm.”

I deliberately conjured up random thoughts to forget the large presence right in front of my nose.

Perhaps Go Yohan has foreign blood flowing in him. And from a very close relative. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such eye color. His eyes, so mysterious and sometimes so cold, disappeared and reappeared as Go Yohan blinked. Finally, his closely pressed face smiled and pulled away.

Just a handspan. Go Yohan, who had pulled his face back just a handspan, lightly tapped my cheek with his palm and said,

“Want to kiss?”

“……”

“Let’s.”

At those words, I nodded my blank head.

“Good, that’s a good idea.”

With Go Yohan’s compliment, his graceful jawline filled my vision. Long eyelashes slowly closing and overlapping, thin, white skin where all the veins were visible, and slender, long eyes that subtly shifted one’s mood, came close and then disappeared from my sight again. A musky scent mixed with soap held my shoulders and pressed down on my whole body. I felt a suffocating pressure and closed my eyes.

At that moment, my eyelashes and Go Yohan’s eyelashes brushed against each other, tickling.

“You’re ticklish.”

“I’m ticklish?”

Go Yohan’s trembling touched my lips. Now even my lips were ticklish. Go Yohan, who had been lightly chuckling, delved deeper. The sound of wet flesh meeting was heard. My hands, clasped between my legs, twitched. A warm, moist warmth covered my upper lip, then bit it gently, just enough not to hurt.

Seeing nothing, I accepted the gentle invasion, feeling like I was enduring the night before a slowly brewing storm with just a paper window. The thrilling tremor of the storm rose to my thin skin. Go Yohan’s lips smiled and released a cool breath. That breath caressed my lips, spurring my trembling.

My thin eyelids fluttered. Go Yohan, who twisted his face and repeatedly bit and released my lips with his own, chuckled softly.

“You too, don’t scratch me with your eyelashes. It tickles.”

At that, I also opened my eyes. Was it ticklish? At the same time, embarrassment washed over me. Were we that close? Awkwardly, I subtly pulled my head back. No, I tried to pull it back. I would have succeeded if it weren’t for Go Yohan, who blocked my slightly tilting neck with his palm.

Like a prey caught by the scruff of its neck, I widened my eyes, and thanks to that, I could see Go Yohan’s face approaching with his eyes closed. I also heard a small whisper, “Don’t do that either.”

The intentionally missed kiss was Go Yohan’s malicious prank. When my lips met the corner of Go Yohan’s mouth, I narrowed my eyes and asked,

“……Are you okay?”

Go Yohan didn’t answer, but held the back of my neck with his left hand and gently scratched my cheek with his right index finger. It meant to be quiet. He was a pure dictator. But I, his pitiful subject, had no choice but to shut my mouth.

The hand that was scratching my cheek turned towards the back of my hand. His smooth fingernail brushed my cheek and moved down, and the hand that reached my heart area returned and lightly pressed my chest. It was a subtle pressure. I was still a poor child who listened well to his words. And I willingly followed his gesture and slowly lay down on the floor.

When my head touched the floor, Go Yohan leaned over me, placing my body between his knees. His fresh-smelling hair barely touched my forehead. As his fine hairs barely touched mine, Go Yohan gently opened his eyes. His long eyelashes tickled my eyelids.

“Jun, I’m going to give you a present, so…”

“Yeah.”

“Will you grant my wish after you receive it? It feels a bit wasteful to just give you my birthday for nothing.”

“……Okay.”

It was a strange reason, but I’ll grant anything. It was an action born from the adorableness that bloomed amidst a gloomy mood, and a secret I couldn’t bring myself to say aloud.

Go Yohan, having received my love, put his right hand into the crushed cake box.

“Ugh,”

My brightly smiling face instantly contorted. Go Yohan, seeing my expression, still raised one eyebrow and made a playful face.

“A ruined hand went into a ruined cake. Isn’t that fun?”

“No, it’s not.”

Go Yohan suddenly smiled at me.

“Oh, I washed my hands.”

“Hmm.”

Right, I see. I nodded with an expression that still hadn’t relaxed. Go Yohan looked at me, smiled brightly until all his canines showed, then pulled out his hand, covered in whipped cream. And he spread his palm in front of me. On his palm, which had less whipped cream, was a golden bracelet.

“Bracelet?”

“No, anklet. Stick out your foot.”

I stared blankly at Go Yohan’s gift and stretched out my leg. Meanwhile, Go Yohan put his thumb in his mouth and licked the white whipped cream. Then, seeing my outstretched leg, he smeared a long streak of whipped cream from his finger below my lip and said,

“Jun, lick it for me.”

He’d already smeared it all. I gaped in disbelief, and he took the opportunity to slip his middle finger in. Surprisingly, I willingly bit down on Go Yohan’s finger. The intense sweetness melted my mind. His middle finger, drenched in my saliva, pressed against my lower lip as it pulled out. Before I could close my mouth again, I licked the ring finger that entered, then the pinky.

Even though the whipped cream had long vanished, I was engrossed in sucking on Go Yohan’s “broken” fingers. My eyes glazed over from the sweetness, and the fact that Go Yohan had smeared it on me excited me. But Go Yohan pulled out even his pinky in an instant. My tongue, which had been diligently swallowing Go Yohan, pitifully followed after it.
