Swallow Hunting - Chapter 28.2
“Yes, CEO.”
-Was the test today?
“Yes. That… I sent that text to you by mistake when I meant to send it to a friend. I wasn’t trying to speak informally to you.”
Even though no one was watching, he denied it vehemently, waving his hands back and forth. He didn’t want to be marked as an impolite brat.
However, Lee Kang-ju’s faint laughter carried over the line. The sound dug into his ears like winding waves. Perhaps he found courage in those calm vibrations.
“Actually, I passed the written exam last time, and today was the practical skills test.”
-It wasn’t too difficult?
“No. I practiced a lot with my friend. But I did lose some points because I stepped on a line once.”
Forgetting completely that he had been nervous upon seeing Lee Kang-ju’s name, Hae-jun confessed with a broad grin. Soon after, a congratulatory message came back. Embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head. The smile on his lips was shy, and his smoothly raised cheeks were flushed.
-We should have a celebratory drink.
“Pardon?”
-You said you passed.
“Yes. But… wait, are you coming over today?”
-I’ll stop by after work.
It was an unexpected visit. Hae-jun hung up the phone feeling dazed. Then, he immediately wiped his face with his hands as if washing without water.
He was used to the business of selling his body, but the nights spent with Lee Kang-ju were still awkward and embarrassing. It was ridiculous even to himself that he acted like an inexperienced innocent despite having shown the man every single one of his private parts.
“…Wow, is the CEO totally into me or what? This is troublesome.”
To forget his own foolish appearance, he made a mindless joke and reflexively looked to his side. His reflection in the dark glass was grinning foolishly.
What was so great about Lee Kang-ju coming over? He tried to subdue his expression with a dry cough and continued walking, only to stop in his tracks after a few steps. A stand sign on the side of the road caught his eye. It was a sign for an adult shop, filled with loud pink colors.
“…….”
Come to think of it, there was no lube at the house. Hae-jun looked around to make sure there was no one nearby and slipped inside the adult shop.
Hae-jun was the only customer. The elderly owner sitting at the counter adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up at Hae-jun.
“Welcome. Looking for something in particular?”
“I’ll just look around.”
“Sure. If you go further in that way, there are videos too. I selected and imported them myself.”
The owner gestured proudly with his chin, saying he had gone and picked them out personally. However, Hae-jun didn’t give that area a single glance and instead lingered in the corner where the lubricants were gathered. While he was picking one up to examine it, the owner, perhaps concerned about his only customer, suddenly stretched his arm over Hae-jun’s shoulder.
“Instead of that one, this one is better. If you apply this, even an elephant can fit into a dry hole.”
“An elephant?”
Hae-jun’s jaw dropped at the terrifying metaphor. The owner chuckled slyly, pulled out a box from behind him, and held it out to Hae-jun.
“Its reputation is legendary. The repurchase rate is high, too.”
Enchanted by the owner’s confident expression, Hae-jun took the box as if possessed. Since he was already here, he decided he should buy condoms too and looked around. He couldn’t find the right size easily, but while searching carefully, he found the largest size at the very back of the display case. However, they were the ribbed type.
Hae-jun had used them before. A customer had handed them to him directly. He hadn’t noticed any difference himself, but the customer was thrilled to death.
“…….”
Currently, the one being penetrated was him. It was already dizzying and overwhelming enough; he was terrified of what might happen if ribs were added to the mix. If those bumps scraped against his inner walls, especially if Lee Kang-ju pushed in with that fierce strength…
Hae-jun turned back to the owner with a complexion that was half flushed and half pale.
“Excuse me, do you have this size in a plain version? Without the ribs.”
“The ones on display are the last ones.”
It couldn’t be helped. Hae-jun set the two items down on the counter. Looking at the size written on the front of the condom box, the owner chuckled.
“My, my, you’re going to be loved by your lover.”
He wasn’t a lover. Since he wasn’t the one who would be wearing it, there was no reason for him to be loved. But was there any need to reveal that fact and let his embarrassing circumstances be known? Hae-jun kept his mouth shut and finished the payment. The sensible owner placed the items in a paper bag and sealed the top.
“Come back again. I’ll set aside the plain ones in that size when they come in.”
The owner was quite sociable. Hae-jun tucked the business card from the counter into his wallet and left the shop.
