I tamed the First Rank Chapter 139

"The Bo-Gyu-ha doll is really cute, isn't it? Ah, of course Gyu-ha-ssi is cuter!"


Hyeon Gyu-ha perked up his ears at the last words he had hastily added and smiled happily.


"But every time I look at that doll, I feel like something important is missing."


“What is it?”


“Here.”


Hyeon Gyu-ha lifted the doll, took off all his clothes, and pushed his middle finger between the doll's legs near the crotch area.


“In an indirect expression, it's 'that place.' In a direct expression, it's 'p....'"


“Wait a minute.”


"Considering the proportions of the short legs, which are abnormally long and have no joints, it's probably over here……"


"Gyu-Gyu doesn't have such an ugly thing hanging on him!"


In Yoo-shin almost screamed as he snatched the doll away.


"Huh?You have one of those between your legs too, Yoo-shin-ssi?"


"It's not there! I don't have one!"


"Then, shall I show you what's attached to me? Hyeon Gyu-ha's top secret, which I'll only confess to Master. It's the same color as my hair......."


"I don't need to hear a confession to know that!"


In Yoo-shin, exhausted since morning, stumbled out of the attic, accompanied by Hyeon Gyu-ha, who held a 6-se’s cage in one hand.


An important issue arose late.


"How do we get to Ganghwa Island?"


"Well, for me, I'd like to experience the experience of Master crying and clinging to me again."


“……”


"I hired a driver out of respect for the elderly."


“Elderly?”


“Even though he is a seasoned veteran, Henri Raymond Charles Françoise VI Noona is over two years old.”


In Yoo-shin thought of 6-se sleeping in a cage covered with a blackout cover. 8-se was also in the same cage, caring for 6-se. I hoped 6-se enjoyed this trip, too.


I thought I was going to ride in one of the Yuchun series, but when I left the house, there was a long black limousine parked there.


"I will make you feel comfortable!"


In Yoo-shin, who bowed to the knight who greeted him in full uniform, turned his curious gaze to Hyeon Gyu-ha. How could he hire a chauffeur for his limousine?


He awkwardly entered a limousine he'd only seen in movies, but the interior was surprisingly comfortable and spacious. I wasn't thirsty, but I felt strangely curious, so I grabbed a drink from the mini-fridge and drank it.


Hyeon Gyu, sitting next to him, used psychokinesis to firmly support Cage, ensuring he wouldn't sway during the drive. In Yoo-shin gazed at the sight of his hair, almost golden, shining in the sunlight streaming through the window.


Most people probably have similar memories of beaches during peak season. The beach is overflowing with parasols and crowds so thick it's hard to tell if you're there to see the ocean or to see people. In Yoo-shin, who had visited the beach while at daycare, had similar impressions, but this time, it felt like it needed to be changed.


"I didn't know the summer beach could be this quiet."


“Is that not good?”


“It’s perfect.”


The secluded property, where all you could hear was the sound of crashing waves, was the best. Next time I see Gong Tae-seong, I think I'll be able to at least say thank you.


“Squeak.......”


Even 8-se couldn't take his eyes off the sea, fascinated by its beauty. They say it originally lived underground, only coming up to the surface at night. If so, this must have been the first time even he'd seen such a vast, blue horizon.


"Sea water is really salty. You shouldn't drink it because it'll make you even thirstier. Okay?"


"Squek!"


8-se nodded, but couldn't overcome his curiosity and licked the shallow seawater before spitting it out.


It seems like a guy who eats raw garlic well can't drink sea water.


While he was playing with 8-se, Hyeon Gyu-ha unpacked his luggage at the villa and came out carrying a bag of clothes.


“Yoo-shin-ssi, please change into your swimsuit before entering the water."


In Yoo-shin's expression became strange as he lightly accepted the swimsuit that was offered to him.


"What is this?"


"It's a swimsuit."


“This?”


"For Master's legal exposure."


In YOo-shin looked down at the triangular swimsuit, the size of his palm. No matter how I looked at it, it wasn't a swimsuit, it was more like a thong. I'd rather just wear shorts than something like this.


“It’s a couple-look match with me, but you don’t want to wear it?”


In Yoo-shin raised his head at the sullen voice and saw another triangle swimsuit he was holding. A furrow formed between his eyebrows. If Hyeon Gyu-ha were to wear that…… no, no matter how much I think about it, I don't think he'd be able to wear it.


Hyeon Gyu-ha blushed shyly as if he had read the expression.


"I haven't tried them on yet, but I don't think I'll be able to fit them all. Actually, the drawers sold in Korea don't fit, so I'm buying them overseas."


"Then why do you insist on wearing it in a triangle shape?"


“Couple look.”


“Is there anything else?”


“I don’t have any.”


Looking at his chubby face, it was clear that there were other swimsuits.


"8-se! Hold on!"


“Squeak!”


While 8-se bravely stretched out his tail and wrapped it around Hyeon Gyu-ha's wrist, In Yoo-shin quickly searched through his bag and found a rash guard. Fortunately, it was a style that could be worn over leggings and shorts.


In Yoo-shin, holding a rash guard with a hand-embroidered hamster patch, quickly went inside to change clothes and came out. Seeing Hyeon Gyu-ha, also wearing a rash guard as a couple outfit, a question suddenly occurred to him.


"Gyu-ha-ssi, last time you got wet at the research center, I bought you some panties. Didn't you wear them properly then?"


"Of course the size didn't fit. Please explain in detail where and how it didn't fit……"


"No! I think I know!"


"But I still have those underwear. They were a gift from Yoo-shin-ssi."


In Yoo-shin paused at those words. Up until now, the only gift I'd given Hyeon Gyu-ha was a pair of panties I'd bought at a convenience store.


Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled brightly as if he knew In Yoo-shin's belated realization and his mind was flustered, and lightly pressed his lips to the top of his head.


"You gave me something that no one else could give me."


“Still……”


"If it weren't for Yoo-shin-ssi, I would never have known that I could enjoy my days without having to scour dungeons for keys."


Hyeon Gyu-ha then wore a mischievous smile.


"Enough with my stuffy story, let's start with some fun stretching."


After completing his warm-up, Hyeon Gyu-ha lifted In Yoo-shin high and plunged him into the sea. Screams of joy erupted.


We played until the sun went down and even had a barbecue. In Yoo-shin, who had been struggling to push Hyeon Gyu-ha out of the bathroom, still felt the afterglow of the water play.


I didn't know you could see the ocean like that.


Wrapping my body around the force field and diving, I was able to gaze effortlessly beneath the surface without needing goggles or an oxygen tank. The limited air supply meant I had to surface within a few minutes, but there was still something to it.


It was a pleasant day, just as Hyeon Gyu-ha had said. Just like every day I spent with him was always like that.


In Yoo-shin stroked his right earlobe, examining his face in the bathroom mirror. He consulted a specialist, and the cuneiform inscription revealed that it was the Sumerian word for "Kur," meaning "underworld."


I was hoping this artifact would be helpful, but I never found a use for it.


“8-seya, why did you tell me to get this?"


"Sqk?"


8-se, who was lathering up in the sink, tilted his head. In Yoo-shin simply chuckled. Since Hyeon Gyu-ha had safely found all the keys, that was probably the point.


As he remembered that fact, a bitter taste rose from deep within his stomach, so In Yoo-shin quickly washed himself.


Outside, Hyeon Gyu-ha had finished preparing for bed. He was surprised when he lay silently on the bed, patting the empty space with his hand as if to show off.


"What aren’t you saying anything? I came here prepared to be kicked out."


In Yoo-shin struggled to find a way to begin. Even though he'd finished his thoughts while washing, they wouldn't connect. He just gulped helplessly.


In the end, In Yoo-shin rested his forehead on Hyeon Gyu-ha's shoulder as he lay on his side.


“What’s going on?”


Hyeon Gyu-ha, his playful side cleared, placed his arms under In Yoo-shin's neck and pulled him closer. The feeling of his slow breath gently ruffling In Yoo-shin's hair, the touch of his hands gently stroking his back, as if comforting him, were all gone.


In Yoo-shin slowly turned his mind around.


If you ask me if Hyeon Gyu-ha's heart is sincere, I can now answer without hesitation: yes, it is. Realization isn't just about the dramatic, mind-blowing moments.


"That's exactly how I feel. It was just the same as how you saw me, Yoo-shin-ssi."


As he once said, everything about him, every fragment of his daily life shared with me, was genuine. How could anyone deny that?


<I really want to hold on to you right now, but I don't know how.>


A person who was not angry at himself for acting like a traitor, but rather desperately tried to hold on to me.


<I will definitely find a way to come back.>


A person who will definitely return to my side.


So, what about me?


What about me?


In Yoo-shin asked himself. Cowardly and selfishly, he didn't want to let go of the comfort he felt in his arms. But compared to the weight of life he carried, his own existence felt so insignificant that he couldn't even hold onto him.


So what can I do?


In Yoo-shin moved his lips slightly, feeling depressed at his own pathetic state of being able to say such foolish things.


"Gyu-ha-ssi, you want to sleep with me, right?"
