CHAPTER 13
On December tenth they visited another orphanage in London. This time Rick dressed as Santa to surprise the kids with Christmas presents while Elena, Elsie and Ava dressed like elves.
Min-Jun joined them as well, but he chose to wear only a Christmas sweater; Aidan bought two so they could match. Now they were dressed like twins and Min-Jun hoped it wouldn’t be too suspicious, although the idea warmed his heart.
Once the kids were playing with their new toys, Min-Jun seated himself in the quietest corner of the room with a cup of freshly made herbal tea. As he blew into it, Aidan slumped in the chair next to him.
“Taking a break?” Min-Jun looked at him with a smile.
Aidan released a heavy sigh and nodded with a grin. “Yeah. The kids are always full of energy, unlike me.”
“You were great. Although I would argue about you not having the energy,” Min-Jun said and tried his best to keep his face stoic but miserably failed.
“I agree. But it depends on where’s the energy is centered,” Aidan added with a knowing smirk.
Min-Jun blushed and looked away.
Aidan changed the subject. “I’m surprised you’re still coming here with us. Most young people don’t like being around children.”
Min-Jun turned to him again. “I want to help. And I don’t mind being around kids,” he said and took a sip of his tea.
“I really appreciate that,” Aidan admitted and leaned closer until their shoulders were touching.
Min-Jun tensed, but continued, “I must admit that I’m surprised as well. Why are you doing all this?” he asked even though he already knew the answer. He wanted to hear it from Aidan.
“I spent six months in this orphanage before my parents adopted me.”
“I’m sorry to hear that…”
Aidan’s look went distant as he remembered. “And I know about all the struggles kids face in these homes.”
Min-Jun looked at him, then he focused back on his mug. Both were silent for a while when Min-Jun spoke up again, “Can I ask you what happened? To your biological parents? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”
Aidan shook his head. “I don’t mind. And honestly, I don’t know why they decided to give me up for adoption.”
Min-Jun’s eyes widened.
Aidan continued, “I was only three and a half when they abandoned me. My… My biological mother brought me here and she left. I waited for her to return to get me, but that day never came.”
“That must have been… very painful.”
Min-Jun wished he could hug him, but they were in a public place.
“And stressful. I remember my father disappearing before she left me there. And to this day I have no idea what happened.”
Min-Jun’s mouth hung open, and his heart ached as he imagined a very small Aidan left all alone in an unfamiliar place.
“I want to help these kids as much as I can. And make their time spent here a little bit brighter,” Aidan added and gave him a smile, but Min-Jun knew it must have been a great challenge for Aidan to live with such a wound.
Min-Jun saw the smile but also noticed how Aidan’s eyes held unspoken sadness.
***
Aidan always looked forward to Min-Jun’s working days. And this day was no exception. He came out of the bathroom, with only his trunks on. He heard when Min-Jun vacuumed his room while he was still in the shower and he couldn’t wait to get his hands on him.
He grabbed the remote and turned on the butt plug hearing Min-Jun moan and gasp. He approached the young man and hugged him from behind.
“Does it feel good?” He inhaled the flowery scent of Min-Jun shampoo and his dick hardened.
Min-Jun nodded and greeted, leaning into him, “Good morning.”
“Mmm.” Aidan began planting kisses on the side of Min-Jun’s neck.
“Ah…” Min-Jun gasped softly and tilted his head to the side. He was about to change the sheets, but he ended up squeezing the pillow.
Aidan pressed his hard-on to Min-Jun’s backside and began undoing the buttons on Min-Jun’s uniform.
Once it was loose, he sneaked his hands in to caress Min-Jun’s skin.
Min-Jun’s breathing became ragged when Aidan circled and squeezed his nipples.
He continued poking Min-Jun’s butt, feeling the vibrations while Min-Jun arched his back and pressed harder onto him.
“Do you want to feel me instead?” Aidan whispered to Min-Jun’s ear.
Min-Jun replied breathily, “Yeah…”
“Would you be a good boy and bend over for me?”
Min-Jun nodded and pressed his palms on the mattress. Aidan raised Min-Jun’s dress and caressed his buttocks, saying, “You have such a delicious cake.” He licked his lips at the sight and slapped Min-Jun lightly on the exposed skin. Min-Jun gasped in surprise but didn’t move an inch.
Min-Jun wore a black lacy thong, and Aidan traveled his thumb over the strings. Then he reached for the condom and lube in his drawer.
He put the condom on and applied the lube to his fingers. He stretched the string to the side and pulled out the butt plug and circled Min-Jun’s hole. With his other hand he applied the lube on Min-Jun’s cock through the transparent material.
When Min-Jun’s delicious moans reached his ears, Aidan pushed his finger in and hit Min-Jun’s prostate.
“Ahh-!” Min-Jun arched his back again, and Aidan made sure he continued rubbing Min-Jun’s sweet spot at a steady pace.
“Oh, fuck. Fuck!” Min-Jun cursed while his body writhed in pleasure.
Aidan stimulated Min-Jun’s dick in the rhythm of his thrusts and noticed Min-Jun clenching the sheets.
He withdrew his hands and grabbed Min-Jun’s hips and pushed his cock all the way in with a slam.
Min-Jun almost lost his balance, but Aidan held him in place.
The slamming of the flesh on the flesh could be heard through the room accompanied by moans and groans. While Aidan squeezed Min-Jun’s hips firmly, he noticed Min-Jun reach his crotch. As he began stimulating himself Aidan felt Min-Jun’s hole clench harder around his dick.
It took him only a few strokes and Min-Jun rode his orgasm out. Aidan slammed in him a few more times before he filled the condom with his load.
As Aidan tried to calm his breathing, the pressure on his chest became heavy. His breathing abruptly shortened and Aidan started wheezing.
Fuck. Not now.
Min-Jun turned to him, his eyes wide. “Are you okay?”
But Aidan only managed to shake his head and cough. He saw panic on Min-Jun’s face, and he motioned to his other drawer.
Min-Jun reacted quickly; he found the inhaler and was back beside him in the blink of an eye. Aidan sat on the bed, took in a few puffs, and his breathing eased.
“Thank you,” he spoke in between coughs.
Min-Jun’s eyes scanned him. “You sure you’re better now?”
Aidan nodded and relaxed his back on the headboard. Min-Jun pulled closer to him with his dress still in a disarray. Aidan saw worry on Min-Jun’s face, so he grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
What am I doing?
“I’ll be okay.” He gave Min-Jun a reassuring smile.
Min-Jun’s shoulders relaxed and he smiled back.
***
Aidan was typing hurriedly on the keyboard but was interrupted by a knock on the door. He paused and looked up, annoyed.
It shouldn’t be Min-Jun. So, who is this now?
The knock repeated so Aidan spoke: “Yes.”
Cade entered and greeted him with a smile, “Hey! Long time no see.”
Aidan glanced at him briefly then looked back at his screens. “I’ve been busy.”
Cade stopped beside his desk, his hands in his pockets. “You haven’t called me in days. Actually, three weeks.”
Aidan raised his eyebrows. “Oh, it’s been that long?”
“I didn’t want to wait forever, so I came.”
“Well, that’s nice of you.”
“That’s all?” Cade laughed. “All you have to say? I was worried you’re dead or something.”
Now it was Aidan who laughed. He put his right hand on his desk and drummed his fingers to avoid looking at the other man.
“I deserve at least an explanation, don’t I?”
Aidan looked up and clicked his tongue. “An explanation you say?”
Cade crossed his hands and stared. “Becky said you didn’t call her either.”
“So… What?”
“You’re a sex freak and now you’re telling me you were busy? That doesn’t make any sense.”
Images of him fucking Min-Jun flooded Aidan’s mind.
“You know that I don’t have to give you any explanations. Right?”
Cade gave him an unamused look. “You’re fucking someone else.”
Aidan stretched his arms and shrugged. “I might.”
Cade laughed. Aidan knew he was jealous, but he didn’t really care.
“You-!” Cade pointed his finger at him, but the words died at the tip of his tongue.
Aidan looked at him again and sighed. “Cade, I’m really busy.”
Cade leaned in and turned the chair towards himself. “Who is it?”
Aidan stared up at him and clenched his jaw. “Go home.”
“Don’t you send me home. I deserve to know,” Cade demanded.
Aidan heard the words roll off his tongue without control: “I think we should end this.”
“What? You can’t just–”
“I can. And I will if you don’t stop.”
Cade’s look filled with confusion, but he bit his tongue. It took another moment for the words to sink in, Cade’s shoulders slumped, and he looked away. “Fine. I’m leaving.” He took a step back and Aidan noticed Cade’s chin and lips tremble.
“We both agreed on this: If one catches feelings, it’s time to step away,” Aidan reminded him.
“I know.” Cade nodded. He fixed his clothes and cleared his throat. “I’m going.”
***
Min-Jun carried a clean pile of sheets up the stairs when he heard the footsteps.
He was already halfway up when he saw a man stepping down the stairs.
He recognized that it was one of the two people who he knew were seeing his boss.
The man was walking hurriedly and when he noticed him, he fixed his eyes on him.
As they walked, one up and the other down, their eyes met in that brief moment.
The man’s eyes narrowed, and he stopped in the middle of the stairs making Min-Jun pause as well. Min-Jun considered whether or not to greet him but decided against it. He didn’t like the man at all, so he just wanted to pass him.
The man looked him up and down and asked, “You’re working here. Have you noticed someone new coming here frequently?”
Min-Jun was surprised by this question, but answered anyway, “No. I didn’t notice anyone.”
“Hm…” The man seemed deep in thought then he suddenly looked back at him and his eyes narrowed. He stared at him and asked again, “What’s on your lip?”
Min-Jun remembered how Aidan bit him yesterday during their heated moment and he got the urge to tell the man the truth but instead only shook his head. “I fell while cleaning the windows.” He had this answer already prepared in case Elena asked.
The man on the other hand didn’t seem convinced. He frowned and said, “Be careful next time. You might end up with a severe injury.” With that, he turned and walked away.
Min-Jun raised an eyebrow and looked at the man’s retreating back. The steps echoed through the hall, and Min-Jun continued climbing up.
He is still seeing Aidan… But what did I expect? That Aidan would stop seeing him because of me?
He got to the top of the stairs and looked down the hall at Aidan’s closed door. His heart sank, and he bit his lip and clenched his fists.
I’m such a fool.
