Kiss the Ground

The island that Misha had prepared just for the two of them was, of course, uninhabited.Located in the far north of Sweden, this island was so remote that it took a 30-minute helicopter ride from the capital to reach it. During what felt like both a long and short flight, Misha eagerly defended his impulsive purchase, explaining how beautiful the scenery was, how great the location was, and how the price had been too good to pass up. His desperate excuses to avoid getting scolded were almost touching.“Wow.”Chahyun clicked his tongue in disbelief as he stepped off Misha’s helicopter. The island was small yet spacious, the kind of place you could walk around in half a day if you kept a steady pace. Turning around, Chahyun could see the central forest and the surrounding ocean, a size perfect for two people and a dog to live on without getting bored.As Chahyun took in the view, Hong Sami, who had been hiding behind them, bolted off into the distance. The dog would eventually circle back to where Chahyun was. Misha, watching his dog enjoy its freedom without a harness, smiled contentedly before turning to Chahyun.“So? It’s nice, right? Do you like it?”“Well, it’s impressive.”“Right?”Misha spread his arms wide in joy when Chahyun acknowledged it. Seeing Misha’s face filled with pride and happiness, Chahyun couldn’t bring himself to say anything negative. Well, it’s better than secretly buying chocolate….As soon as the helicopter left, Misha guided Chahyun to the edge of the island. As they walked along the sandy beach, Chahyun’s eyes widened at the sight ahead. A massive mansion stood proudly on a hill, with a small forest behind it and the sea in front.“Did you build that too?”“Yeah…. You need a place to take shelter if it rains.”“Rain? That’s way too big just to avoid rain.”“I’m a big guy….”“What are you talking about?”Even as they entered the spacious entrance, Misha kept glancing at Chahyun’s face, worried about his thrifty partner’s reaction. But the neatly decorated interior wasn’t bad, even in Chahyun’s opinion.They explored the house, climbing the marble stairs. After passing through the modern kitchen on the second floor, they reached the third floor, where a large space opened up. The entire wall of one side was made of glass, revealing a bedroom with a view of the ocean surrounding the island beyond the balcony.…This isn’t just about size.Chahyun stood with his mouth agape as Misha quietly whispered from behind him.“Yuan, aren’t you hungry?”He slowly backed toward the door, sensing that a scolding was imminent.“It’s already time for lunch. Since it’s just the two of us here, there’s no chef.”“You…”“I’ll prepare the meal, so relax and come down later, okay?”With that, Misha quickly disappeared downstairs, his head poking out from behind the door, then vanishing like an afterimage.“…….”Once Chahyun was sure Misha was gone, he turned back to the view outside the window. The sky was an endless gradient of pale blue fading into deep blue above the noonday ocean. It felt surreal, like standing in front of a massive oil painting by a master artist.It was stunning. He couldn’t deny that.And he realized that this place was the perfect opportunity that Yoon Chahyun had been searching for.Isolate yourselves! Adrian’s advice was spot on. The atmosphere was crucial. Although Misha had taken the lead, which wasn’t part of the plan, being brought to such a beautiful island made it impossible to complain. If anything, Chahyun felt like showering Misha with kisses for providing the perfect setting for a proposal.He pulled up his suitcase and unlocked it. Inside, hidden away, was a ring box. He carefully opened it, revealing two pairs of rings inside. The elegant bands and the diamonds set in them sparkled brilliantly. Looking at the jewels, he felt a bittersweet emotion.He always felt guilty for not having been able to put the rings on their intended fingers, but that regret would end today. Chahyun took out one of the rings and slipped it into his back pocket, then locked the suitcase and pushed it into a corner of the walk-in closet.With only two days of leisure on the island, today was the day to execute his plan. Yoon Chahyun was determined to formally propose to Misha tonight.Bioluminescence, was it?Late at night, when the sea would glow a beautiful blue, that unique moment would be the perfect time for the proposal. In the midst of that glowing light, kneeling down to propose would be the most beautiful thing. All that was left was to wait for the right moment.If everything went well, the two of them would be on the plane back to England tomorrow with matching rings on their fingers.Chahyun closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, bringing them to his lips as he took a few deep breaths. It was a habit he had before every competition, but the tension he felt for this life-defining challenge couldn’t be compared to any match. After shaking out his legs a couple of times, Chahyun headed downstairs.“Mishaa.”Misha, who was wearing a neat pink apron, looked up at Chahyun standing on the stairs. Various ingredients they had brought were laid out on the wide kitchen counter.“What are you making for lunch?”“Just a simple pasta. We’ll have it with wine later.”“Sounds delicious. You’re good at Italian food.”Chahyun crossed the spacious kitchen and walked up to Misha, who was preparing mushrooms. Wrapping his arms around Misha’s waist, he rested his chin on Misha’s shoulder and murmured,“No matter what I say… this island is pretty great.”“Do you like it? Honestly, I was worried.”“It’s beautiful, it’s big, and it’s a good deal. You did well.”Here is the translation:—The island that Misha had prepared just for the two of them was, of course, a deserted one.The island, located on the northern edge of Sweden, was about 30 minutes away from the capital by helicopter. During the flight, which could be considered long or short, Misha worked hard to defend his impulsive purchase, saying that the scenery was beautiful, the location was good, and that the property was a bargain too good to pass up. His desperate attempts to avoid scolding were almost pitiful.“Wow.”As Chahyun got off Misha’s helicopter, he clicked his tongue. The island was small yet spacious enough that one could walk around it in half a day. A quick glance around revealed a central forest surrounded by the sea, a size just perfect for two people and a dog to enjoy without getting bored.While Chahyun was admiring the view, Honggami, who had darted out from behind, quickly ran off into the distance. If the dog kept running straight ahead, he would soon return to where Yoon Chahyun was. Watching the dog happily enjoy its freedom without a harness, Misha turned around.“So, what do you think? Isn’t it great? Do you like it?”“Well, it’s pretty amazing.”“Right!”Misha spread his arms in joy when Chahyun admitted it. Seeing his partner so pleased, there was no point in saying anything more. After all, an island is better than secretly buying chocolate…As soon as the helicopter left, Misha guided Chahyun to the edge of the island. After taking a few steps along the sandy beach, Chahyun’s eyes widened. There, on a hill facing the sea and backed by a small forest, stood a grand mansion.“Wait, did you build that too?”“Yeah… I mean, you need a place to stay if it rains.”“Rain? Isn’t it a bit too big just to escape the rain?”“Well, I’m a big guy…”“What are you even saying?”Even as they stepped into the wide entrance, Misha kept glancing at Chahyun’s face, gauging his partner’s reaction, aware of how much he disliked extravagance. But the clean and stylish interior wasn’t bad, even from Chahyun’s perspective.As they explored the house, they climbed the marble staircase. Passing the modern kitchen on the second floor, they reached the third floor, which opened up into a spacious area. One entire wall was made of glass, revealing a bedroom with a balcony that offered a panoramic view of the surrounding ocean.…This isn’t just about size, is it?As Chahyun stood there, mouth agape, Misha whispered softly from behind.“Yuan, aren’t you hungry?”And with that, Misha slowly backed towards the door, perhaps sensing an impending lecture.“It’s already lunchtime. Since it’s just the two of us here, there’s no chef.”“You…”“I’ll prepare the meal, so just relax and come down when it’s ready, okay?”Misha peeked through the door one last time, then quickly disappeared downstairs. His swift retreat left an afterimage.“….”After confirming that Misha was gone, Chahyun turned back to the window. The vast gradient of light blue to deep blue stretched endlessly across the noonday sky, blending into the ocean below. It was an unrealistically beautiful scene, like standing before a massive oil painting by a master artist.It was impressive. That much was undeniable.And it was also clear that this place presented the perfect opportunity Yoon Chahyun had been seeking.Isolation! Adrian’s advice was spot on. The atmosphere really mattered. Although Misha had taken the lead, which wasn’t part of the plan, after being brought to such a stunning island, there was no room for complaints. Instead, Chahyun felt grateful, even wanting to shower Misha with kisses for creating the perfect setting for a proposal.Chahyun pulled up his suitcase, unzipped it, and reached deep inside.In the darkness of the suitcase was a ring box. Holding it with both hands, Chahyun carefully opened it to reveal two rings nestled inside. The elegant bands, adorned with brilliant diamonds, shimmered brightly. Looking at the rings evoked a bittersweet feeling.Chahyun had always felt guilty for not being able to place them on their rightful fingers, but that regret would end today. Taking out the rings and slipping them into his back pocket, Chahyun locked the suitcase and pushed it into a corner of the walk-in closet.The time they had on this island, this brief respite from their busy lives, was only about two days. If there was a plan to be executed, it would have to be today. Yoon Chahyun intended to officially propose to Misha tonight.Was it called bioluminescence?In the deep night, the moment when the ocean glows with a beautiful blue light.In the middle of this beautiful and expansive island, the most beautiful and magnificent proposal would take place during that unique moment. It would be a perfect and splendid evening to offer Misha his long-held affection. Kneeling amidst the glowing blue light, it couldn’t be more beautiful. Now, all that was left was to wait for the right moment.If successful, both of them would be wearing matching rings on their flight back to England tomorrow.Chahyun closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and took a few deep breaths, a routine he always did before a game. But the tension of facing this challenge couldn’t be compared to any match or competition. After stamping his feet a few times to ease the tension, Chahyun headed downstairs.“Misha.”Misha, wearing a neatly tied pink apron, looked up from the kitchen counter at Chahyun. On the wide counter were various ingredients they had brought with them.“What are you making for lunch?”“Just a simple pasta. We’ll have it with some wine later.”“That sounds delicious. You’re really good at making Italian food.”Chahyun walked across the large kitchen and approached Misha from behind. Wrapping his arms around Misha’s waist, Chahyun rested his chin on Misha’s shoulder and mumbled.“I have to admit… this island is pretty great.”“You really like it? Honestly, I was worried.”“It’s beautiful and spacious, and you got it at a good price. You did well.”“Hah, ugh.”However, just as Chahyun opened his throat to take in Misha’s release, Misha grabbed Chahyun’s cheek and abruptly pushed him away. Startled, Chahyun, with his mouth wide open, fell back onto the floor with a thud.“Wah!”“I told you no, Yuan.”“What…?”“Because of you, all my plans for a nice meal are ruined.”A nice meal… Before he could even laugh, his body was suddenly lifted into the air. Defying gravity, he was tossed onto the dining table. The high ceiling came into view through his blurred vision.“I wasn’t planning to do anything in the dining room… but what do you think you’re doing?”“What? I wasn’t planning on doing anything either! I just wanted to give you a taste, that’s all.”Chahyun pushed against Misha’s shoulders, trying to turn away. But his attempt was in vain. As soon as his feet touched the floor, Misha grabbed his arm and pulled him back up. In a blink, his half-risen body was once again sprawled on the table.“Don’t mess around. You can’t just stop like that.”The face above him, twisted with desire, hovered over him. Maybe he had pushed things too far? While he was caught up in this uneasy thought, Misha yanked down Chahyun’s pants, swiftly pulling them off. The ease with which they were removed sent a jolt of anxiety through Chahyun. As he kicked his legs and yelled out, his pants and underwear slipped off his ankles.“Hey, wait a minute, the pants…”But Misha seemed to regard Chahyun’s resistance as nothing more than a flimsy excuse. With the pants gone, Misha’s large hand found its way between Chahyun’s legs. The abrupt sensation made Chahyun sit up in shock.“Misha!”“You’re the one who caused this, Yuan.”Without hesitation, Misha’s middle and ring fingers pushed inside, spreading Chahyun’s entrance wide open. Holding his legs apart, Misha positioned himself between Chahyun’s thighs.The fingers moved skillfully, gauging the inner space. As they quickly rubbed the moist entrance, Chahyun’s body was jolted up and down on the table. It took only a few thrusts of those fingers for his body to start leaking a strange fluid.“Ah! Wait…”Chahyun’s arousal matched the stiffening erection, and his body, now accustomed to receiving, grew increasingly wet. As he felt himself soften, Chahyun placed his hands on Misha’s shoulders. His brows furrowed as he gripped Misha’s shoulders, who then slowed down the movement inside him.“Ah, ha, Misha.”“I’m going to do it inside, Yuan.”It was a brazen statement, especially with him still wearing the pink apron. As Chahyun panted and laughed, Misha narrowed his eyes.“You’re cute…”“I’m not cute at all.”Between his legs, Misha pressed his rigid member against him. This was definitely not cute. As the tip of the head nudged into his hole, Chahyun gasped for breath. The overwhelming sensation made him wrap his arms around Misha’s neck, and as he did, the head that had been teasing the entrance plunged deep inside, pressing against his innermost walls.“Ah!”The unbearable mass forced a scream out of him. His legs, raised in the air, trembled uncontrollably. He felt like he was going to die. Though he shook his head in denial, his hot, swollen insides were relentlessly pummeled without a break. The tight walls clung to Misha’s cock, squeezing it with every thrust. Each powerful stroke left his entire body soaked, and his brows furrowed deeply.“Ah, ah, ah, ugh.”Wasn’t this Chahyun’s fault? He couldn’t deny it. Misha’s large hands grabbed his hips, and as the cock plunged deep into his innermost walls, it immediately withdrew only to thrust back in, forcefully fucking the wet passage. The rhythm made him whimper in disappointment each time it pulled out. Chahyun spread his quivering legs and wrapped them around Misha’s waist.He could feel his insides clinging to the cockhead, getting pulled out and then dropping back into place. It felt like everything beneath his ribs was melting. With his body crumpling under the pressure of pleasure, Chahyun grabbed Misha’s neck. The two bodies clung tightly together, unable to move any closer.“Misha. Kiss me…”As he requested this, the same Misha who had been spouting harsh words, now eagerly leaned in, as if he had been waiting for it. He matched his tongue to Chahyun’s, intertwining them in a wet, sticky kiss. Chahyun drank in the saliva that filled his mouth as if it were the elixir of life. He swallowed, his throat bobbing, and even after, he still felt unsatisfied, so he sucked on Misha’s tongue while Misha continued his subtle thrusting.“Mmm, mm, mm…”The heavy stone table was inching backward. Chahyun’s brain, soaked in pleasure, wobbled like jelly. The more his insides were ravaged, the more he wanted to be completely ruined. He wanted to be so broken that he couldn’t walk. As his body grew feverishly hot, Misha finally whispered in a quiet plea, pulling away from Chahyun’s lips.“Yuan, I can’t hold it anymore.”“Ah, mm, mm.”“I’m going to cum inside…”Misha’s eyes, which had been wild with lust, suddenly softened. He licked Chahyun’s lips, looking like a beast seeking approval.“Is it okay to do it inside?”As pleasure shot through the top of his head, Chahyun felt all strength leave his body. Even though it seemed like Misha was going to cum inside him whether he agreed or not, that tender gaze rolling over his face made him feel even more loved. Misha always gave Chahyun a choice, turning every act into a binding commitment. Chahyun, drooling and panting, moved his exhausted tongue without resistance.“Okay, okay… hurry, hurry.”When Misha kissed his ear, Chahyun’s whole body arched as if pierced by a stake. Misha buried himself deep into the widened entrance, the tip of his cock stretching Chahyun’s deepest parts, making him cry out.“Ah, ugh, it feels so good…”With pleasure like a blazing firework, tears filled Chahyun’s eyes. The pit of his stomach heaved, and the hot seed flooded deep inside him.“It feels so good, so good, ah… ah!”The scene before his eyes became hazy. The feeling of pleasure from his partner’s release, even more so than his own, was an extraordinarily mysterious sensation. Whether it was the violent pleasure or the almost fainting climax that Misha gave, it all seemed delightful. The bodily fluids that filled his abdomen seeped out of their connection point. The two reddened bodies that had reached their climax were sprawled out on the table.Breath came in ragged gasps, and their pounding hearts collided. Even the awareness of having soiled the place meant for dining was a pleasure in this moment. Chahyun held his partner’s face between his legs, inhaling deeply. The flushed face, now a mess of raw instinct and desperate affection, was a sight to behold. Chahyun placed his lips against his partner’s wet mouth once more, their kiss clumsy and lacking in coordination, but it immediately reignited the heat in his body.Misha gently lifted Chahyun’s limp body. His legs, still trembling from the climax, touched the floor, but Misha turned him around smoothly, facing the table.“Ah, this…”The black stone table was slick with semen, its origin unclear. The weight distribution felt off. It wasn’t suitable to lie down or sit. If they continued to have sex in this position, he would surely end up falling forward and hitting his head.“Do you dislike this position?”Misha fumbled with the apron strings and untied them. Throwing the cumbersome piece of cloth onto the floor, he wrapped his arms around Chahyun’s wet waist. Chahyun grasped Misha’s arms around his waist with both hands.“It’s… fine, but I feel like I’m going to fall…”“I’ll hold you. Relax.”“Ah, ah, wait.”He felt disoriented. The cock pressing into him through the swollen hole showed no sign of cooling down. As Chahyun’s body was enveloped by Misha’s large arms, he was penetrated while still standing.“Ugh!”It pierced straight through from the entrance to his belly. The breath against the back of his neck was terrifyingly rough. With his toes precariously pointed, his body was impaled by the large cock and driven forcefully downward.The size difference, which he had never felt on the field, seemed fearsome. It felt as though his body was merely a large tool. He struggled to support his trembling legs, but every time the cock pulled out and thrust back in, his knees buckled.However, once he had allowed release, his insides had melted to accept the thick cock. Unlike the frantic first time, the second time was unusually soft, slow, and tickling his inner walls. As Chahyun, barely covered by a t-shirt, succumbed to pleasure and nearly collapsed, Misha continued to tease his sensitive nipples. As Chahyun raised his torso in response to the electrifying sensation, the tip of Misha’s cock pressed firmly against his favorite spot.“Ah, ah, mm!”Chahyun frowned, disliking the embarrassing noises he was making. Trying to escape by standing on his toes, Misha’s lips touched his ear.“You’re cute.”“Ah, damn…”It was like being hit by a boomerang. Without missing the contraction of his insides, Misha rhythmically thrust into Chahyun. As the slipperiness improved, the penetration became smoother. The sound of their bodies moving together echoed through the quiet kitchen.The end of the large cock kissed the inside deeply, then partially withdrew before thrusting back in. The wet, sticky sounds made it clear how thoroughly he was being fucked.“…Ah, wait.”As his pupils dilated in a daze, a strange sensation crept from below. It was a familiar and unpleasant feeling. He tried to adjust his position to endure it, but nothing could be done in this pose. He braced his legs to withstand the humiliating result, but there was no escaping it.“Ah, ah… no, oh.”The semen filling his insides finally began to leak out. Packed tightly inside and with the hole pressed upwards, it was inevitable. The semen defied gravity, seeping out from their connection point, and flowed down Chahyun’s buttocks and thighs.Chahyun dropped his head and looked down at his legs. The white streaks that had spilled onto his knees and calves soon soaked the carpet beneath them.“Misha.”Calling out weakly, the one behind looked down, following Chahyun’s gaze. Seeing the glint in his eyes over his shoulder, Chahyun realized Misha liked this sort of thing. He quickly tried to close his legs, but Misha’s strong grip around his chest and waist held him tightly.With a pounding sensation that felt like it was hitting him from the inside, Chahyun’s toes practically lifted off the ground. The pleasure felt like an explosion, leaving his mouth open in a daze. Transparent saliva hung from his parted lips, trailing down to his chest. It felt as if his entire body was pierced by lightning.His insides ached, and his mind felt foggy. Semen, whose origin he couldn’t determine, splattered everywhere. After a few more thrusts, he was unable to speak. Instead, Chahyun placed his hand over Misha’s, merging their grips. The sweet smell of sweat and body odor made his brain melt away. Strangely, he felt like he might go again. Once a body reaches climax, it rapidly moves towards the next.“Ah, ah!”The climax striking his abdomen made his trembling body shake. As reason and pleasure tangled messily, all his senses were jumbled together, and kisses fell onto his nape. Tender affection and intense possessiveness. His body, trapped by Misha’s strong hands, began to melt like heated metal.While enduring the heat and catching his breath, Misha whispered softly.“Yuan.”“Ugh…”Whispers, softened by the lingering pleasure, continued to dissolve on his skin.“If I like the apron, I’ll wear it every day.”“Ah, ha….”“I’m serious. I’ll wear it anytime, anywhere.”Chahyun, panting heavily, burst into laughter. Misha, without smiling, pressed his lips to Chahyun’s laughing mouth. Through the thin skin, a very faint and clear voice seeped out.“I swear.”So many vows. Chahyun, drenched in sweat, smiled as he caressed Misha’s cheek. It was a warm and gentle kiss.***As the afternoon sun set in the west, the two finally had a late meal. Barely clothed, they clinked wine glasses and tasted the cold instant pasta. It was a makeshift solution after thoroughly dirtying the kitchen. Looking out over the wide sandy beach and the blue sea, they enjoyed their cheap meal.As the sky began to darken, Misha turned on his phone and played some quiet music. Listening to strange pop lyrics, they ran across the white sand and leapt into the sea. Misha, who had never played in the ocean before, floundered clumsily as he followed Chahyun’s lead. After laughing at Misha’s puppy-like swimming, a mischievous streak emerged.Seizing the opportunity, Chahyun wrapped his arms around Misha’s neck and pushed him straight into the deep water. As the stinging seawater surged into his eyes, nose, and mouth, Misha started to tear up and complain. “Yuan! It’s so salty…” But quickly learning the ropes, Misha began trying to dunk Chahyun underwater in turn. With this merciless counterattack, Yoon Chahyun ended up drinking about 5 liters of salty seawater.Soaked in seawater, the two stumbled out and collapsed onto the sand. As they caught their breath under the settling sunset, Misha gently placed his lips against Chahyun’s. The breathless gasps from their play blended softly with the kiss.It was a warm and romantic moment. Though the hand slipping in through the sweat shorts wasn’t exactly romantic. The touch exploring sensitive areas and sweeping over them made Chahyun’s head spin.In the middle of the white sand, their lovemaking began. The late afternoon sunlight shamelessly illuminated their wet bodies and legs coated in white sand. The thrilling sensations traced their bodies.“Ah.”Feeling his climax approaching, Chahyun opened his eyes faintly and gazed at Misha. Despite doing this every day, going first always stung his pride. Misha, who was holding his cock, slightly narrowed his eyes.“Are you about to finish?”“Ha, mm…”“Kiss me when you come.”The touch pressing directly against his most sensitive spot was relentless. Misha didn’t gauge the strength of his touch as Chahyun reached his climax. It was the cute mischief of someone who had just learned about sex.The impatient one rubbed the tip of his cock rapidly. Feeling the sharp pleasure approaching, Chahyun grabbed Misha’s cheek with one hand and pulled him into a kiss. If he didn’t follow the orders, he would be tortured repeatedly until he did. It wasn’t so bad, but excessive stimulation was somewhat painful.With a begging kiss, the tingling orgasm surged from his toes to his head. His sprawled body on the sunbed trembled slightly, and his kissing mouth fell open. With only their tongues touching, Chahyun’s body quivered, and Misha began nibbling on the tip of Chahyun’s tongue.“Mm, ah…”Secretion spilled from the reddened tip of his penis. Misha watched the sight of white semen being released as if it were a beautiful aurora. Any shame in showing climax had long since faded.“Ha, haa…”As Chahyun shivered with wet legs and stretched out his body, Misha gently licked his parted lips with his tongue. Whispered breaths flowed into the air.“Yuan, was it good?”An explicit and cheeky question borrowing from the sweet atmosphere. But Chahyun couldn’t respond and simply caught his breath.“You seem to feel it more today. It’s incredibly erotic. Cute and beautiful.”“You never run out of things to say…”“It’s true that you like it.”He did feel exceptionally good. Chahyun lifted his heavy arm and drew Misha closer. Misha then slowly climbed over Chahyun’s limp body. His face, flushed with sunset and excitement, looked incredibly endearing. It was a moment that couldn’t have been better.When the sky was filled with the red glow of the setting sun, they washed off their sand-stained bodies and lay back down on the sunbed. The intoxicated warmth of their bodies absorbed the evening light.“Look at the sunset, Yuan. It’s really beautiful.”Misha, lying on Chahyun’s arm and gazing at the sunset, suddenly raised his voice high. Misha had always liked sunsets. It was a similar reaction when they had ridden a Ferris wheel together once. Chahyun laughed and teased him.“Are you really being so romantic now? Lying here naked.”“It’s a romantic situation. Sharing love with your partner and holding each other like this.”“Sharing love…”“It feels like a dream.”Chahyun was taken aback by the embarrassing words, but Misha’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the sunset. He suddenly got up and brought his suitcase. Out of it came a dark brown violin. Not a guitar, but a violin… Chahyun’s mouth fell open as Misha began to play soft music.“Uh…”The warm and gentle melody was familiar even to Yoon Chahyun, who was unfamiliar with music.“I know this one! What’s the title?”“Salut d’Amour, by Edward Elgar.”Misha, resting his chin on the chin rest, answered softly. After the beautiful performance, Yoon Chahyun clapped enthusiastically, and Misha bowed deeply in an exaggerated manner. It was a one-person concert solely for Yoon Chahyun, a unique experience.As the piece ended, the distant sound of four paws walking around was heard and then faded away. It seemed a puppy had come to listen to the music and then left again. The puppy, running between the forest and the sea, seemed to ignore what its owners were doing. It was a rare moment of peace.“It’s hard to see the puppy’s face. What if he has so much fun that he doesn’t want to leave tomorrow?”“We had fun too.”“Yeah?”“Today.”Their gazes met, colored with the sunset’s red hue. The arms that wrapped around him tenderly still had no sign of fatigue despite their rolling around. Chahyun turned his body, embraced Misha, and tapped his nose with his finger.“We did have fun. If we had a drone, we would have had a clear record of how we spent the whole day.”“That’s a good idea. We should have bought one.”“Here we go again.”“Why? We could have watched it together when we go back…”Speechless, Misha smiled and kissed Chahyun’s lips. The gentle kiss was sweet and warm. His mind grew pleasantly fuzzy, and soon drowsiness overcame him. Perhaps it was because the red sunset had warmly enveloped his whole body. As Chahyun blinked, Misha slightly raised his body.“Yuan, do you want to sleep?”“Ah… just a little more.”“Okay, get some rest.”“Wake me up. Promise.”In the drowsiness, a plan that had been turned over in his mind for a long time suddenly became clear.Today, Yoon Chahyun had something he absolutely had to do.The chance to change the word “lover” from Misha’s lips to something else was today and today only. He had been looking forward to this moment for days, weeks, months. His mind, focused on the final mission, became distant. Amid the drowsiness that felt like his entire body was sinking into the sand, Chahyun felt Misha’s hand caressing his cheek.“It’s a promise. I…”With the sunset at his back, Misha smiled silently. His softly curved lips offered no response to Chahyun’s final request and simply left a kiss on his cheek.
