Chapter Two (1/1)

​​    Jeonghan looked out of the grocery store window.  Today marks his and Minhyuk's fourth secret date.  He closes the store behind him with a sigh as Minhyuk is now an hour late to the date.  Not one text was sent saying that he was stuck in traffic or that work went late.  A normal person would think the worst.  They would think that the other person has been in a terrible accident or that the phone battery died. However, Jeonghan didn't have time tonight.  He either needs to go on a date or finish his school assignments.  He looked around and smirked when he saw the car coming up to him.  Late but cool entrance.  He folded his arms as the window rolled down. "Jeong-jeongie,"  Minhyuk gets out of the car, "I'm sorry."  He cupped Jeonghan's cheeks. Jeonghan nodded.  "It's fine.  Let's go."  He said with a forced smile.  He sat in Minhyuk's car and closed his eyes.  Take the first numbers then the outer numbers..  He was envisioning the math in his head.  Inner.. last.. why do we need to multiply them anyway?  Just keep them in the parenthesis!  He held his forehead as he ranted in his mind. Minhyuk notices the other's troubled stance.  "Is school hard?"  He asked with concern, receiving a hum.  "Do you need help?"  He offered. "No.. I just need to get through this semester, then I can work toward my degree.."  Jeonghan cracked his neck.  "Where are we going?  What street is this?"  Jeonghan noticed that they were getting off of the main road and going down a road Jeonghan's never been on. Minhyuk held the steering wheel tighter.  "There's a small cafe I like down this way."  He said.  Jeonghan saw the lights in the distance and nodded.  "I need some caffeine.."  He mumbled while rubbing his eyes.  Minhyuk walked the younger into the cafe and walked him to the back of it.  "I'll get us some drinks."  He said, leaving Jeonghan at the table. Jeonghan sighed and looked around the place.  There weren't any other customers and there wasn't any music playing.  He heard the woman at the counter faintly from the distance, but other than that this place was like a ghost cafe.  He looked down at the wooden table and traced his fingers around the circles and lines of the handmade furniture. "Hey,"  Minhyuk sat down with the drinks, "I know you said you needed caffeine, but your stomach told me otherwise."  He handed the other a decaffeinated beverage. Jeonghan smiled and thanked him with a small nod.  "So how has the company been?"  Jeonghan asked, sipping on the drink and reaching across the table to hold Minhyuk's hand.

"Pretty good, I got a promotion."  Minhyuk replied.  "I'm finally going to be conducting meetings and making some decisions for the company."  The younger let the straw fall.  "Isn't that going to be stressful?"  Jeonghan asked with concern. "Yeah.. but I have you, so my stress will go away instantly."  He said, earning a small laugh from Jeonghan.  They look at each other for a few minutes as they drink their beverages.  "On a different note.."  Minhyuk started.  "I want to get closer to you."  He said with a serious expression. Jeonghan looked at the spot next to him and made more room.  "I don't mind, come over here."  He offered. Minhyuk laughed and moved to the other side of the table.  He put his arm around the younger male, getting Jeonghan's attention.  "I meant closer in our relationship."  He said softly against Jeonghan's ear. A shiver went through Jeonghan's body.  The vibes went from light to dark in a matter of seconds.  Jeonghan slowly turned his head to meet Minhyuk, their faces only a short distance from each other.  "What.. do you mean?"  He asked with caution. Minhyuk cupped the younger's cheek with a smirk, leaning down and putting their lips together.  Jeonghan didn't fight the kiss.  He obeyed when the older wanted to get into his mouth.  And for the first time, their tongues move together.  The movement is slow and captivating, making Jeonghan's eyes finally close. Minhyuk kept watch of Jeonghan's expression, seeing that the younger wasn't too into the kiss but giving up his lips and tongue anyway.  He pulled back and looked at Jeonghan.  "I would like to move our relationship to the next level, if you'll let me." "..sex..?"  Jeonghan whispered as he looked into Minhyuk's eyes with his mouth still open from the kiss.  Minhyuk nodded and thumbed the younger's cheek.  "..oh.."  He swallowed harshly as his eyes roamed around everywhere besides Minhyuk's eyes. "I'm coming all the way here once a month, I would like it if we didn't just drink and watch ducks."  Minhyuk commented. Jeonghan then felt a wave of guilt come over him.  "I'm sorry.. I'll.. okay.."  He nodded as he reached to hold the hand that recently went on his thigh.  "It can't be my house though.."  He muttered. Minhyuk gave Jeonghan's lips a few pecks before moving his hand to Jeonghan's member, gently cupping it through his jeans.  "I know a good place close by."  Jeonghan nodded as he let the man unzip his jeans and move his underwear aside.  His breath hitched when Minhyuk started pumping his dick.  "Is it your first time?"  Minhyuk asked in a whisper. Jeonghan nodded.  "Y-yes.."  He lied. "I'll be careful with you."  Jeonghan got the promise he was looking for.  Minhyuk helped the younger back into his clothes.  Jeonghan took a powerful swig of his drink before he was walked out of the cafe.  Jeonghan watches as they drive on a dead end road.  There was no traffic to the building that they drove to.  Minhyuk shifted the gear into park as they went into a small parking garage.  Jeonghan looked around as they were the only source of light for miles.  He looked back at Minhyuk when he heard the older unclick his seatbelt. "The backseat is roomy."  He said, pointing with his thumb with a small smirk. Jeonghan looked back at it and nodded.  He unclicked his seatbelt and opened his car door.  He then made his way to the back with Minhyuk following on the other side.  He comes over just for me, a whole four hours of driving.  This is the least I can do to pay him back.  Jeonghan thought as they started kissing. The kiss involved audible breathing and tongue wrestling.  Minhyuk slowly separated the younger's collar, feeling Jeonghan's shoulder as he pushed the material further.  Jeonghan moaned as he was pushed down to the seat, having his head rest against the plush.  Minhyuk spread Jeonghan's arched legs, putting his bulge against Jeonghan's hips. Jeonghan's lips remain parted as he watches Minhyuk take down his pants, showing off his erection that is beating and begging to invade all of Jeonghan's personal space.  Minhyuk then pulled a condom from the back of the driver's seat, putting it down his length. "Y-you planned on me saying yes?"  Jeonghan said in a whisper. "I had to prepare for either answer, Love."  Minhyuk said as he took down Jeonghan's jeans and boxers.  Jeonghan nodded and watched Minhyuk take lotion out of the center console.  "Thank you.."  Jeonghan said as he watched Minhyuk's fingers getting coated with that lotion. Minhyuk smiled and leaned down, putting their lips together as he stretched Jeonghan.  Sex - a very intimate scene that brings two or more people together.  Jeonghan's thoughts on it are both negative and positive.  He hasn't had great luck with it, but he believes there are two definitions of sex.  One is that the people are just relieving their hormones and that's all they want.  They don't want to bring their lives or relationship closer to the other person. The other definition is love.  A lovely feeling bringing the people together forever - a bond.  And tonight's sex to Jeonghan feels like the first definition.  He feels no love behind Minhyuk's thrusts or kisses.  He feels that the older is concerned to make sure that there's no pain, but that their relationship remains at the same level.  He's just relieving his office stress on me..  Is Jeonghan's thought, And I'm getting my school stress out. A little game of friends with benefits, but Jeonghan doesn't want just that.  "I love you.."  Jeonghan forced out when they came together. "I love you too."  Minhyuk said before getting up and reaching for his jeans and boxers.  "We need to get home now." Jeonghan nodded.  "Right.."  Not even a five-minute cuddle?  Jeonghan inwardly sighed as he tried sitting up.  The other man was already walking to the driver's seat.  Jeonghan reached for his discarded clothes and slowly put them on.  Minhyuk started the engine and clicked his seatbelt back on.  "I'll move here in a minute."  Jeonghan muttered. "Just stay back there and rest."  Minhyuk insisted as he already put the car in reverse. Jeonghan obeyed and put the seat belt on.  He watched the dark scenery in silence as they drove out of the warehouse complex.  Is this how it's going to be every month?  Jeonghan played with his nails.  At least he's being gentle with me.  He nodded inwardly. They make it to Jeonghan's home where his mother welcomes him in for a cup of water.  Jeonghan goes upstairs like usual to continue his school assignments.  She adores him..  Jeonghan realized.  "At least she won't be too mad when she finds out, huh?"  He smiled a little.  "A boyfriend with good manners and a stable job.."  He rested his forehead on his desk as he slowly fell asleep. *** Jeonghan cracks his neck with a yawn.  He stops automatically when a customer starts approaching his register.  He gave a smile to the man.

"I hope you found everything well today."  He said in the usual, cheerful voice he's required to have.  Of course he doesn't over do it.

"I did, thank you.  I'm finally done settling in this town."  The man said with a laugh. Jeonghan raised an interested eyebrow. "You just moved here?"  He asked as he passed the items along the scanner while looking at the man with a small smile. "I've been here for about a month now, my parents and I decided to move here while my brother stays in Dalseo-gu."  The man replied with a big smile. Jeonghan thought for a moment.  "That's a bit from Seoul, what are you guys doing here?"  Jeonghan chuckled as he pressed some keys for the vegetables. "I need to complete my liberal arts degree here, and my brother already is settled with work back home.  So my parents wanted to come with me since I'm their baby."  The man laughed. Jeonghan laughed along.  "I get it, my parents baby my little sister all the time."  He said as he watched the man count out his bills and coins for the total. The male then handed Jeonghan the money.  "Well I only live five minutes away, so you'll probably see me often."  The man said.  "I'm Choi Seungcheol."  He put his hand out. "Yoon Jeonghan."  He shook the other's hand.  "How old are you?"  He asked casually. "Eighteen and a few months, and you?"  Seungcheol replied. Jeonghan's eyes lit up.  "Same here!  Are you going to the college over there?"  He pointed the direction to the college. "Yeah!  Seungcheol replied excitedly. "Maybe we can hang out sometime." Jeonghan nodded with a smile.  His attention was then captured by the bell ringing.  He looked past Seungcheol to see Minhyuk there with a frown.  "Here, let me give you my number so if you have any questions about the school."  Jeonghan took his phone out. Seungcheol copied the younger and exchanged numbers.  "It was great meeting you. Honestly, I'm a bit shy.."  Seungcheol admitted, holding the plastic bags with both hands. "I've been around so many people growing up that it's my nature to be a social butterfly."  Jeonghan said with a tooth smile. "I'll help you warm up to the neighborhood.  Everyone's pretty nice here."  He advertised. "Thanks, it means a lot."  Seungcheol bowed.  "I have to get going, I told my parents I wouldn't be too long."  He said as he scratched his neck. Jeonghan nodded with a wave. "Be a good boy and don't worry your parents."  He said teasingly.  Seungcheol was out of the door, leaving Jeonghan to finally look at the other male that entered the store.  Jeonghan sighed happily.  "Hey there, I figured you would be a bit late today.  Didn't you say you had a meeting?"  Jeonghan said as he turned off the light for the register. "It ended quickly."  Minhyuk said.  "Who was that?"  He asked while folding his arms. "Seungcheol, someone who just moved into the neighborhood."  Jeonghan replied.  "He's about our age."  He continued. Minhyuk clicked his tongue.  "You think it's cute to flirt with other men when you already have a boyfriend?"  He asked with a raised eyebrow. Jeonghan dropped his vest after hearing that. "Flirt?  Of course not!  I was making a friend."  He laughed while walking up to Minhyuk.  "I don't flirt with strangers and I don't believe in side pieces.  So quit your worrying."  Jeonghan said with a quick peck to the older's cheek before leaving for the staff room. Pff.. if he considers that flirting.. he's easy to bother.  He shook his head.  "You almost done?"  Minhyuk called from the registers. "Yeah, hold on!"  He yelled back. Jeonghan made it back to where he left Minhyuk.  "What's the rush anyway?"  He pouted his lips. "There's a restaurant that I want us to start meeting up at."  Minhyuk started as he walked Jeonghan out by the waist.  "My shifts are going to be pretty late and with the four hour drive, you won't be able to stay at the store until midnight." Jeonghan furrowed his eyebrows.  "Midnight?  Where do you want to meet up?" Minhyuk walks him forcefully in silence to an outdoor barbeque restaurant.  "Here for something small to eat and then we'll go to the warehouse like usual."  He instructed. "Where does that leave my sleeping time?"  Jeonghan questioned as he sat down with Minhyuk. "It's once a month, I think you can sacrifice one night out of thirty days to accommodate me.  I am making a four hour drive."  He said in a guilt-tripping voice. Jeonghan nodded.  "That's true.. okay.."  He obeyed. "Good."  Minhyuk got up to go order them some food.  

As a sext couple, how will things go now?
