      Chapter 90. Seoul. Broad Daylight. In the middle of a downtown street. Cover
      by Gideon — He sat down, pressing his body close to Jubin's side. I guess I can't fool Do Zion after all... "I'm sorry." The words were short, a mix of gratitude for the comfort and a touch of embarrassment. "What are you sorry for? You're doing great, Sunbae. Don't worry about it, just eat this." He held out the hand he'd been keeping clenched. In his palm lay a piece of sweet chocolate. "Sweets are a must when you're feeling down." "...Yeah, thanks." Grateful for the gesture, Jubin tucked the chocolate into…

      Chapter 89: Side Effects Cover
      by Gideon — The streets were deserted, the late summer heat still clinging to the air. The restaurant was a hidden gem Jubin had stumbled upon—a cozy sushi spot tucked away in a quiet alley, run by a single owner. It was the kind of place that required reservations on weekends, but today, they were in luck. After being seated, Jubin and Zion found a quiet table in the farthest corner of the restaurant. "I'll just have whatever you recommend, sunbae." "Almost everything here is great, but is there anything…

      Chapter 88: Taste Paralysis Cover
      by Gideon — The way Zion looked at him was strikingly similar to the possessiveness Wang Se-gyeom showed Hyeonseo. "Do you ever get too immersed in your roles?" Zion asked. It wasn't uncommon for actors to blur the line between reality and their characters when they got too deep into a role. Especially with romantic subplots, they often fell into "pseudo-dating" feelings. Most actors naturally shook it off after filming wrapped. But Jubin tended to lose himself in the work, often confusing the fictional world with…

      Chapter 87: Can I Go to Your Place, Senior? Cover
      by Gideon — "Did CEO Park tell you?" Jubin asked, startled. "No, Andrew called me yesterday, crying his eyes out." In an instant, the image of Andrew Jin, utterly devastated and despairing, flashed through Jubin's mind. It was unbearable to see his favorite person suffering because of him. "Andrew is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve," Zion explained. "He never hides when he's struggling, hurting, or happy." So he's that sensitive, Jubin thought. He let out a deep sigh, berating himself. What was I…

      Chapter 86: Pick One for Me Cover
      by Gideon — "Um... Zion? Could you..." As Zion gently pushed him away, Do-won watched from the side, pouting as he gave Zion a pitiful look. "Babe, what about me?" "Why am I your 'babe'?" "Are you bored of me already?! How can your love change so easily?!" Do-won threw a tantrum, demanding that Zion hug him too. Zion turned away as if annoyed, but Do-won, now completely fired up, grabbed Zion's collar and playfully yanked it upward. Everyone's eyes were instantly glued to Zion's now-exposed abdomen. "Ah,…

      Chapter 85: Chemistry Reading Cover
      by Gideon — "Zion, ungh, Zion, Zion..." The depth of their union and the intense pleasure made Jubin terrified, a sickening dread that he was about to lose control. "Zion. Stop. I don't—ungh—I don't like this..." He had never been afraid of the pleasure that brought him to the brink of climax before. Never. But now... he hated this sensation. It felt like watching a horror movie. He shook his head desperately, his voice rising in a frantic plea. "Zion, stop! Stop it!" But to Zion, Jubin's desperate attempts…

      Chapter 84: D-DAY 2220 Cover
      by Gideon — "Your heart is like such clear, pure water... I keep wanting to lean on your transparent heart." "No, I was just playing along with your mood." This time, I hoped there would be no more misunderstandings between our feelings. "...I... you too..." Of course, the weight and speed of Zion's love were completely different from his own, but he still held onto the hope that they could find some common ground. "I cherish you a lot, and I sincerely like you." The moment his trembling voice whispered those…

      Chapter 83: Because That’s Just What We Are. Cover
      by Gideon — I wanted to say it as calmly as possible—that I'd been doing just fine without him—but meeting Zion's eyes made it impossible. "I thought I just had to accept whatever choice you made back then," Jubin added weakly. "...Because that's just what we are." "Wait a minute." Zion stared at him, his expression one of utter confusion. After a long moment of thought, he let out a short, dry laugh. "Did you think you'd been ghosted?" Jubin swallowed the lump in his throat and replied with feigned…
    • Chapter 82: You Should Want This Too.

      Chapter 82: You Should Want This Too. Cover
      by Gideon — Jubin's anxiety spiraled without end. "Hmm..." He let out a short sound, his eyes betraying his hesitation. If I have to answer anyway, wouldn't it be better to ask the bare minimum as a partner? "Was there anyone good there?" The words flowed out with a surprising lack of emotion. It was a cruelty disguised as kindness, so effortless it shocked even him. His tone was that of a stranger offering polite, social interest to someone completely unrelated to his life. The faint glimmer of hope that had…

      Chapter 81: An apology, first, before it’s too late, I… Cover
      by Gideon — Even if it was just a hallucination, Jubin answered as if clinging to the empty air. The fluid leaking from his wrinkled entrance soaked his hand before trickling down below his groin. He felt a sense of satisfaction. He pictured himself being held, wanting to hear his voice just a little more. It felt so good to trace the hard arms and developed trapezius muscles forged from his long athletic career. The flawless abs, the explosive power of his thighs, the thick chest, and the intercostal muscles…
