Projection Novel (Completed) - Chapter 101

Lovely Toyboy

After a long month-long vacation, not long after returning to Korea, Cheon Sejoo was back at work. From the moment he heard that no one knew of the existence of DG’s Strategy Department, he vaguely guessed that his workplace wouldn’t be DGO&M’s main headquarters, but rather a Junior Suite at a 5-star hotel in central Seoul.

He had been informed by Chae Beomjun the day before he started work. It was indeed no exaggeration to say that the work location constantly changed, and the atmosphere in the suite used as a temporary office was nothing short of chaotic. Because they didn’t know when they would have to move, everything was thrown around without any order.

“I am Cheon Sejoo. It’s a pleasure to meet everyone.”

With his impeccably tailored suit, Cheon Sejoo’s appearance immediately made the male staff in the strategy department shrink back. His face was so handsome it could be mistaken for a movie star, his tall, lean physique had no excess fat, and the overwhelming alpha aura emanating from him belonged to a man who graduated top of his class from Korea University’s Medical School.

In truth, compared to the other members, his resume wasn’t exceptionally outstanding, yet Cheon Sejoo easily secured the manager position in the strategy department after only a short time.

Compared to the other members of the team, he lacked both experience and knowledge related to management, but with a year of studying like crazy, he was second to none in theory. Moreover, because he wasn’t ashamed of what he didn’t know, he was ready to openly ask for guidance. This attitude made the older team members, even if they knew more, unable to act superior in front of him.

“…”

Most notably, the unique aura Cheon Sejoo carried from the special handling team was completely different from the men who had spent decades burying themselves in books and work. Just his silent stare could make one’s mouth go dry. Even the 38-year-old man who had always been stubborn and stone-cold before his arrival had to soften, meekly deferring to Cheon Sejoo’s gaze.

Just as Shin Gyo Yeon had predicted, Cheon Sejoo was the typical embodiment of an alpha who could easily subdue other men.

While Cheon Sejoo gradually took control of the strategy department, Sejin at home focused entirely on his studies. Believing this was his last chance to enter university, he poured all his energy into studying and achieved an excellent score of 455 points for the three subjects of Korean, English, and Math in the university entrance exam that November.

He had guessed his score from the preliminary answer key, but still didn’t dare to be careless to avoid later disappointment. He might have marked the wrong answer, or there might be a change in the scoring scale if there was an error in the exam paper.

However, the scores and rankings didn’t change much, and on the day the score report was scheduled to be released, Sejin officially held his score sheet with the scores: Korean 4, English 5, Math 5.

Early that morning, after leaving the score sheet on the dining table for Cheon Sejoo to see, Sejin went to sleep but suddenly woke up feeling something strange in his mouth.

“…”

“Are you awake? Sorry.”

Between his slightly parted lips, a hard object lay firmly within. Sejin blinked blankly, looking up at the man standing before him. Cheon Sejoo smiled faintly in the darkness.

Cheon Sejoo often said that his sleeping face looked like an angel and then occasionally put his penis into Sejin’s sleeping mouth. Even so, he didn’t feel disgusted. In fact, Cheon Sejoo pointing out that “you look cuter with your mouth closed” was a bit annoying, but he still liked being desired by Cheon Sejoo.

Still half-asleep, Sejin felt the little one in his pants gradually harden. He opened his mouth wider, taking Cheon Sejoo’s boy fully.

“Ha… Almost… coming.”

Cheon Sejoo whispered in a languid voice while stroking his hair. Sejin closed his eyes, slowly licking and sucking him. Perhaps because he had just showered, a pleasant scent emanated from his lower region. Sejin slipped his hand through the robe, caressing Cheon Sejoo’s buttocks, making him chuckle softly, then pushed the glans deep into his throat.

“Ha, h-huh… beautiful, Sejin…”

The hand stroking his hair moved to firmly hold the back of his head. Immediately after, Cheon Sejoo thrust his penis so deep it hurt Sejin’s mouth, then came deep into his throat. When the wet penis made a “chu-chup” sound and pulled out, his throat felt numb.

Sejin blinked, tears welling up, swallowing the saliva pooling in his mouth. He had to swallow many times to make sure the remaining semen in his throat went all the way down. While he was busy gulping like that, Cheon Sejoo had already lain down on the bed, embracing Sejin and pressing his lips to his.

“Today was truly exhausting…”

Cheon Sejoo mumbled, then wrapped his arms around Sejin’s waist, entwined his legs around his thighs, and continued to kiss him. Their lips softly brushed together, making “chu-chup” sounds, and sleepiness gradually crept in. Sejin tried to regain some consciousness, stretched out his arm to make a pillow for Cheon Sejoo, held him tightly, and quietly asked:

“Did you see the score report…?”

“Score report?”

Cheon Sejoo shook his head slightly. He had completely forgotten that today was the day the score report was released. Realizing it too late, he immediately asked Sejin:

“I haven’t seen it. How were the results, good?”

“Hmm… I got a four in Korean, and English and Math were both fives.”

After Sejin spoke, Cheon Sejoo’s eyes widened in surprise. Although they had checked the answers together and somewhat guessed the result, he was still amazed when Sejin actually achieved 455 points.

He knew how hard Sejin had worked over the past two years, so seeing him receive a deserving result made him truly happy. Cheon Sejoo then smiled brightly, hugged Sejin’s neck, kissed his smooth, white cheeks repeatedly, praising him in an affectionate voice:

“You did so well. Truly amazing.”

Sejin tried to suppress the foolish smile threatening to break out, smiling shyly. He closed his eyes, accepting the kisses, then subtly parted his lips. Cheon Sejoo chuckled softly, pressed his lips against his, and gave him a gentle kiss. These kisses were so sweet they made Sejin’s heart melt. He rubbed his lower body against Cheon Sejoo’s waist, kissing him as if wanting to devour him whole.

However, knowing that Cheon Sejoo had to go to work early the next morning, Sejin didn’t go any further. He suppressed his rising desire, only gently stroking Cheon Sejoo’s waist. Perhaps due to fatigue, Cheon Sejoo closed his eyes, his voice tinged with pleasure as he asked:

“Now you have to submit your applications, right… Have you thought about which major to choose at Sunchon University?”

“Yeah…”

Sunchon International University, which Sejin intended to choose as his first choice, was a private university that accepted both scholarship students and tuition-paying students. Tuition-paying students would have to pay tens of millions per semester to access high-quality education, and because the minimum score required was only a 5 in the three main subjects, wealthy students who didn’t prioritize academic achievement often liked to apply.

As long as the basic conditions were met, admission results would be decided through an interview for each department the candidate chose. Sejin didn’t have too many expectations. He wasn’t good at speaking, nor did he think he made a good first impression.

“I’m planning to choose the nursing department as my first choice…”

Until now, he had never told Cheon Sejoo which department he wanted to enter, because Cheon Sejoo worried that his advice might influence Sejin’s choice, so he always remained silent. When he heard Cheon Sejoo say to think for himself and find what he wanted to do, Sejin pondered a lot and finally made his decision.

Sejin wanted to become a nurse.

When his mother was hospitalized, or when Cheon Sejoo had a car accident and was hospitalized, Sejin had seen male nurses at work. Before that, he rarely went to the hospital, so it was his first time seeing male nurses. At first, it felt a bit strange, but then seeing them work so hard, he felt incredibly impressed.

Sejin also wanted to become someone like that. Someone who could help those who were in pain and weary.

“But Cheon Sejoo, during the interview…”

He was about to ask more when he suddenly heard steady breathing. Sejin fell silent and looked down. Cheon Sejoo was resting his head on his arm, eyes slightly closed, seemingly having fallen asleep.

His lips were closed, his face serene… He looked as if he felt no discomfort at all. Seeing this, Sejin’s heart suddenly softened, and his chest warmed. He felt as if it was confirmed that Cheon Sejoo truly felt at peace when he was with him.

Sejin blinked his tear-filled eyes, hugging him tightly. “Good night, I love you…” – those whispered words dissolved into the darkness.

The Sunchon International University nursing department interview took place in January. From the day after receiving his score report, Sejin began preparing for the interview with Cheon Sejoo, but the process was truly arduous.

Sejin was the type of person who only spoke fluently when arguing. When arguing with Cheon Sejoo, he would argue fiercely, but as soon as they started interview practice, he would stammer, making Cheon Sejoo sigh many times, looking as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.

However, “even a dog that studies for three years at a village school knows how to recite poetry,” Sejin endured the high-pressure interview sessions set up by Cheon Sejoo whenever they had time, and at some point, he began to answer as smoothly as flowing water. His eloquence, which was previously only unleashed during arguments, could now be used in normal situations as well.

And then the day of the decisive battle arrived. Early in the morning, Cheon Sejoo postponed going to work to drive Sejin to the gates of Sunchon International University near their home.

“Sejin, look at me.”

Sejin, sitting nervously, turned at Cheon Sejoo’s gentle voice. Cheon Sejoo’s sharp gaze swept from his head to his toes.

His hair, meticulously styled since early morning, was neatly combed, neither too elaborate nor messy; his fair, rosy face looked adorable and pretty. A white shirt buttoned all the way up except for the top button, dark gray wool trousers, loafers showing his ankles, and a knee-length ivory wool coat – there was truly nothing to criticize, perfectly beautiful.

Seeing this, Cheon Sejoo’s lower half, dressed in his neat work suit, began to react. He frowned in helplessness, then smiled and said to Sejin:

“So beautiful you made me hard.”

“…”

At the compliment, Sejin blushed and frowned. He glared at Cheon Sejoo as if asking “what the hell are you saying so early in the morning?”, then let out a tense breath and placed his hand on the door handle.

“I’m going now.”

“Okay. Don’t be too nervous, just seeing your face will get you in, so just say what’s on your mind.”

“…”

The words sounded absurd, but he felt the sincerity in them. Sejin stared at Cheon Sejoo and smiled faintly, took his hand resting on the gear stick, and kissed his fingertips. Cheon Sejoo couldn’t resist either and leaned over to kiss his cheek, and Sejin responded with a kiss on his lips. Then he wiped his wet lips with the back of his hand and got out of the car.

“Drive carefully, hyung. Drive safe.”

“Call me when you’re done.”

“Got it. See you later.”

“I’m going now.”

“Yeah, I love you.”

The rambling goodbyes dragged on. At Sejin’s adorable confession, Cheon Sejoo smiled brightly and affectionately, then quickly drove away. Watching the large SUV gradually disappear with the sound of its engine, Sejin sighed once more and stepped into the university.

Since it wasn’t during the academic term, there weren’t many students walking around campus. Every time Sejin walked by, the few eyes around him turned towards him. However, having grown accustomed to others’ gazes since he grew taller, Sejin didn’t pay much attention and walked quickly towards the College of Medicine and Pharmacy.

Sunchon International University’s College of Medicine and Pharmacy was located behind the tall building of the College of Engineering. As he approached, he saw a few students in uniforms who were probably also there for interviews, and also people in smart suits. Sejin felt like a dragonfly was fluttering in his stomach as he entered the College of Medicine and Pharmacy building.

The interview room was an auditorium located on the first floor not far from the entrance. Sejin presented his identification at the reception desk nearby, received his lanyard, and sat down with others to wait for his turn.

Perhaps due to the prejudice against male nurses, the waiting room was almost entirely female students; Sejin was the only boy. However, since Sejin always felt more comfortable with girls than boys, he wasn’t bothered.

There were about ten more people before Sejin’s turn. While he was texting Cheon Sejoo to relieve his tension, someone spoke to him just as he moved two seats over.

“Oh my god, I’m so nervous I could die.”

A girl sitting next to him mumbled, her legs shaking uncontrollably. She was wearing a uniform consisting of a jacket and pants, but only winter clothes without an outer coat. It was unclear if it was due to cold or nervousness, but her constant shaking next to him made Sejin feel flustered. Then, suddenly, the girl turned to him and struck up a conversation.

“Hi. Are you here for an interview too?”

Unlike her previous mumbling, this time the girl spoke very politely. Sejin glanced at the petite girl and nodded slightly. Not wanting to talk much, he just nodded to confirm, but then was surprised when the girl introduced herself.

“I’m here for an interview too. Are you twenty? Same age as me? Maybe we’ll be classmates, can I talk to you comfortably? My name is Lee Hyunjung.”

“…”

Sejin blinked then turned to look at the girl when he heard the name.

“Hyun Kyung?”

“Huh? No, it’s Hyunjung. Jung as in ‘denial of reality’.”

He thought she had the same name as his mother, Hyun Kyung, but after Hyunjung’s further explanation, Sejin said “Ah” and then fell silent. No, it wasn’t. His troubled heart immediately calmed. Sejin turned his head and replied:

“…Kwon Sejin. But I’m twenty-two.”

“Huh? So it was you. Sorry, you look so young. I thought you were my age!”

The girl seemed very friendly and lively. Listening to Hyunjung, Sejin felt something strange.

He remembered that in elementary school, there were many girls like this who would often strike up conversations with him. Because he was the youngest in class, Sejin was often bullied by the boys, and each time, the bigger girls would step in to protect him and talk to him.

Is it because I look pathetic that everyone wants to protect me? Sejin subtly furrowed his brows and nodded. Despite his distant attitude, Hyunjung didn’t back down. She giggled, rubbed her hands together, and asked:

“Oppa, aren’t you dying of nervousness? I took a sedative this morning, but I still feel like I’m going crazy. I’m about to throw up. I should have brought a diaper. Oh, and after this, I plan to go eat spicy Sichuan hotpot.”

The disjointed sentences poured out of Hyunjung’s mouth, surprising Sejin. He turned to look, unable to understand what she was trying to say. And then, Hyunjung grinned again and continued:

“You’re really handsome, you know. Do people often tell you that?”

“…No.”
