Rainbow City

“It’s not as unified as I thought,” he remarked in a nonchalant tone, having anticipated it.“A new cult is expanding its influence, centered in Busan. The problem is that they don’t believe in the vaccine. They refuse to vaccinate even their own children,” Yang Sanghoon said indignantly.“Adam hasn’t been completely eradicated, so how can they refuse the vaccine?”“They don’t trust the city. But it’s not like they trusted the old masters either.”“And the head of this cult?”“Dr. Seokhwa.”“What?” Kwak Soohwan frowned deeply. “Someone’s impersonating Seokhwa?”“Probably. And they seem to know a lot about the internal workings.”“Yang Sanghoon might have a point, but there’s no evidence this person was ever a city citizen. The person impersonating Dr. Seokhwa hasn’t been identified yet either.”Kwak Soohwan drank the remaining alcohol in one go. There didn’t seem to be much more information to discuss, and he didn’t want to leave Seokhwa alone in the cabin. He put his cup on the chair and walked towards the cabin.“You’re not planning to sleep inside, are you?”“We brought sleeping bags. We don’t want to get shot in our sleep, so we’ll stay in the jeep, you bastard.”Kwak Soohwan, relieved, waved his hand. He heard the sound of them opening another bottle, indicating they intended to keep drinking. He gently pushed the door open, careful not to tip over the bucket. Once he created a small gap, he moved the water-filled bucket aside and stepped inside, then pushed the door back into place. The bucket, being quite heavy, ensured no drafts would come in.He noticed a test kit on the table. Seokhwa must have tested again while he was gone. Kwak Soohwan didn’t hesitate to check the result; it was negative again. He threw the kit onto the floor and approached Seokhwa. He wanted to hug him but felt he smelled of meat, so he took off all his clothes.He went to the cement floor with a drain and poured cold water over himself, washing his hair thoroughly. He had used several bars of soap during their stay here.Seokhwa, who valued cleanliness, would wash his hands even after simply stepping outside, so new soap wore out quickly. Kwak Soohwan also enjoyed washing, so Seokhwa never had to nag him about it. He had often cursed when he was with soldiers who didn’t bathe due to water shortages.“That’s what I call a perfect match,” he muttered. To avoid waking Seokhwa, he dried his hair by the fireplace before climbing into bed. Seokhwa’s body was as warm as ever.Seeking coolness, Seokhwa snuggled closer and opened his eyes slightly.“Sorry, did I wake you?”“…Adenovirus. You were wrong about it earlier, Major Kwak Soohwan.”Kwak Soohwan couldn’t help but laugh.“You’re correcting me in your sleep?”“It just came to mind.”Seokhwa rubbed his hot cheek against Kwak Soohwan’s chest.“I know. I know it’s different from the common cold or flu. I just didn’t feel like explaining. So, you were lying to protect my pride?”“You knew?”“Of course. I even read a bit to understand what my smart Dr. Seok was thinking.”Seokhwa’s breath tickled him.“And the other Majors? I laid out towels for them.”“They’re not coming in. They find the jeep more comfortable, so don’t worry and sleep.”Kwak Soohwan pressed his lips firmly to Seokhwa’s forehead. He liked how cool it felt to have his naked body against him. Seokhwa reflexively reached down and fondled his testicles.“Yeah, that’s Dr. Seok’s cure-all.”“I’ve been hard since earlier.”“Didn’t you sleep?”“I slept and woke up… I think I’m drunk.”“You’re handling your drink better than before.”“When I’m drunk, the world feels like it’s shaking.”“When you’re drunk, you talk faster and more. You seem pretty drunk now.”Seokhwa brushed his hand against Kwak Soohwan’s penis.“…I want to suck it.”He couldn’t believe his ears. So he asked again.“What did you say?”Without a word, Seokhwa slid between his legs. The blanket rose, covering Seokhwa’s body.Seokhwa took his penis into his mouth in one swift move. Saliva filled his previously dry mouth as he sucked. The smell of soap on his skin was refreshing. Seokhwa opened his mouth wider, pushing the head of his penis to his throat. His body, hidden under the blanket, felt like a furnace.Kwak Soohwan, flustered, pulled the blanket away and looked down. Seokhwa’s eager sucking made his head spin. He rubbed his hot cheek against his thigh before taking his penis back into his mouth. He was putting it in and out as he pleased.Are you trying to kill me?Kwak Soohwan glanced outside the cabin briefly before laying Seokhwa down on the bed. Seokhwa looked annoyed, as if asking why he was interrupting.“Hey, if you get drunk from this, what then?”Though he seemed to be scolding, he wasn’t really upset. Seokhwa, mimicking what Kwak Soohwan had done before, opened his mouth and let his tongue rest on his lower lip.“…Hurry,” Seokhwa said in a flat tone. Even though his voice was dry, it was enough to almost make Kwak Soohwan climax. Alcohol had made him much more straightforward.“Can I go down on you first?”“Twice is too much…,” Seokhwa replied. Despite his improved stamina, climaxing twice was still too challenging. Maybe he could handle it if Kwak Soohwan didn’t overdo it, but stimulating him deep inside made a second time seem impossible.When Seokhwa opened his mouth wider, signaling for him to put it in, Kwak Soohwan couldn’t hold back any longer. He grasped the bed’s headboard with one hand and his cock with the other.Rubbing the soft underside of Seokhwa’s lips with his glans, he felt the smooth teeth as he entered. Seokhwa’s wet tongue wrapped around his shaft, and his mouth sucked it in repeatedly. It was incredibly hot. He wondered if he might pass out, but the dazed eyes, filled with satisfaction, assured him otherwise.Kwak Soohwan’s cheeks were flushed as he cupped Seokhwa’s red cheeks.“Are you really okay?” he asked. When Seokhwa nodded, his teeth grazed the shaft, and he relaxed his body, waiting for more.Seokhwa had first experienced fellatio through Kwak Soohwan and had never imagined putting a penis in his mouth. But the sight of this strong man melting in his mouth, turning into a helpless boy, excited him. Kwak Soohwan might be right. No matter how tough a beast is, it becomes powerless when its testicles or genitals are held.Seokhwa’s curved shaft filled his throat. Initially worried about him, Kwak Soohwan showed no mercy once they started.“Why is it so hot, huh?” He gently soothed Seokhwa’s stretched lips with his thumb. As he pulled his hips back and thrust again, Seokhwa’s chest heaved.Though he wanted to cough, his cock blocked his airway, leaving no room for breath. The thick saliva inside stuck to Kwak Soohwan’s shaft. Seokhwa grabbed his thigh, pulling him deeper until his pubic hair almost tickled his face. Kwak Soohwan caressed Seokhwa’s swollen neck soothingly.Seokhwa, holding onto his thigh, lifted his face to swallow more deeply. But a sudden jolt made him quickly release it, his solid cock scraping out of his mouth messily.Coughing with regret, Seokhwa sprawled on the bed. Sticky strands connected his lips to Kwak Soohwan’s cock. He rubbed it against Seokhwa’s wet lips, who, despite coughing, still licked it.Unable to define whether Seokhwa was becoming more erotic or if it was just the alcohol, Kwak Soohwan weighed his impulses. If he did as he pleased, he might not even be able to depart tomorrow, risking a confrontation with the two outside.“Major…” Seokhwa’s breath touched his cock.“Suck my nipples,” he commanded, removing his hand from the headboard and lifting Seokhwa’s shirt.“Just there?” Seokhwa, frustrated by the teasing kisses on his sides, pulled his shirt up to his neck.“What about the other part?” Normally, Seokhwa wouldn’t have welcomed such talk, but he swiftly pulled down his pants, hooking them on his testicles. His chest and erect penis now fully exposed, Kwak Soohwan’s mouth watered.“What should I do? Major Kwak only has one mouth.”Seokhwa’s face twisted slightly. Even drunk, he disliked this. Kwak Soohwan laughed against his skin and slowly kissed up from his navel. His erect penis brushed against his abs, leaving traces of precum. Seokhwa slightly arched his back, enjoying the pressure.He teased Seokhwa’s plump nipples with his tongue. Seokhwa’s hand tangled in his hair, producing a soft rustling sound. When he nibbled the buds, a shiver ran through Seokhwa’s hot body. Responding to Kwak Soohwan’s stimulation made his grip tighten. He suckled and bit Seokhwa’s chest like a starving man.Only the spots he’d sucked were flushed red on his lean body, adding to the eroticism. He pulled off Seokhwa’s shirt and wrapped his arms around his waist. Despite Seokhwa’s body going limp in his arms, Kwak Soohwan found solace in holding him.He licked Seokhwa’s parted lips, fitting them together, while their cocks rubbed against each other. The sound of skin friction and the rustling sheets filled the cabin. Even the owls, who had hooted throughout the night, couldn’t intrude on their bed.Seokhwa grabbed Kwak Soohwan’s descending arm, putting his fingers into his mouth in place of the kiss. The skin covering his solid bones was surprisingly smooth for someone who fought often. Maybe it was the gloves. Seokhwa sensually licked the hand scraping his palate.Finally, Kwak Soohwan’s cock was fully engulfed. He didn’t stop there, pulling Seokhwa’s thighs towards him. He lifted Seokhwa’s hips with his knees and sucked his cock. The cock, previously standing firm towards his navel, now faced the opposite direction, creating a strange sensation. The tip pushed against his palate but only scraped its bumpy surface.“Ahh.”“You really enjoy receiving and giving this,” Kwak Soohwan remarked, letting go of Seokhwa’s waist.As Seokhwa’s legs hit the bed, he eagerly took Kwak Soohwan’s cock into his mouth again. Sucking with such vigor, it felt like his lower half would come off. Kwak Soohwan pressed him down, keeping him in place.“Major!”He even pressed down on Seokhwa’s lower abdomen, immobilizing him. Sucking relentlessly, he squeezed his lower abdomen, even triggering the urge to urinate.“S-Soohwan!” Unable to hold back, Seokhwa called out, but Kwak Soohwan, undeterred, continued sucking him to the root. Seokhwa’s flailing legs repeatedly struck his side.“I’m going to cum.”“Ugh,” Seokhwa groaned, trying to push him away with both legs, his strength making the effort quite fierce. It was clear he couldn’t hold back any longer, using every ounce of strength he had. In contrast, Kwak Soohwan seemed to be testing Seokhwa’s limits, pushing him further.“No, stop! Stop… ah!”Seokhwa’s body grew increasingly hotter. Just a bit more and Kwak Soohwan might devour all of him, but that could lead to resentment. Finally, Kwak Soohwan released his tightly suctioned mouth with a pop.“Ahh!”Seokhwa trembled with intense pleasure, unable to come to his senses. Kwak Soohwan, amused, wiped his wet lips with his hand.“Vacuum fellatio is killer, right?”“…Hah, hah,” Seokhwa gasped, his eyes glazed over, devoid of any reason. He even lowered his hand to check if his cock was still intact.Kwak Soohwan idly stroked his own swollen cock. “You know? I only do this for you. No one else gets this treatment.”“Hah, I… couldn’t do it either.”Kwak Soohwan laughed lowly, rubbing the head of his cock against Seokhwa’s buttocks. “True, if you did it, you’d probably need CPR.”As Seokhwa’s heaving chest calmed, he spread his own buttocks. Instead of arguing that he wasn’t that weak, he whispered for him to hurry.He should have loosened him up, but his twitching entrance was insistent. Kwak Soohwan reached to the top of the bed. Having the ointment Seokhwa made nearby was considerate but also a different kind of forethought. Praising himself for being a considerate man, he scooped out a generous amount of the ointment. The semi-solid ointment quickly melted with their combined heat.He spread the ointment generously inside Seokhwa’s buttocks, rubbing it with his cock. The squelching sound mixed with the sticky feeling of skin. Kwak Soohwan straightened up, holding Seokhwa’s buttocks apart. Even with the ointment’s help, the entrance was still tight.Seokhwa bit his lip, focusing all his nerves down below. Strangely, the more he tried to relax, the tighter it got, and the itchier it became. Kwak Soohwan grabbed Seokhwa’s ankles, sliding his tongue along his calves. Pulling out slightly, he rubbed his perineum and testicles slowly, waiting for him to relax.When he saw Seokhwa’s grip on the sheet loosen, he thrust his cock inside.“Ah! Hnngh!”In an instant, the head and the groove beneath disappeared.“Don’t pull out. Ugh!”Seokhwa moaned as he pulled back to gain momentum. If he pulled out now, his insides might turn inside out.“It’s still tight inside.”Despite this, Seokhwa nodded repeatedly, indicating it was fine. “It’s good, but I’m worried about hurting you, Dr. Seok,” Kwak Soohwan whispered, pressing his body against him.Kwak Soohwan’s weight was heavy, pressing down on both his upper and lower body. Seokhwa felt his body half-folded, the sensation of his earlobe being licked vivid in his ear. The wet sounds felt like they were licking his eardrum. To offset the pain, Kwak Soohwan kissed him all over, adding another layer of pleasure. He wished he would hurry, but more of his shaft was still outside.As he reached down to feel how much had entered, Kwak Soohwan suddenly thrust deep inside.“Ah!” In shock, Seokhwa’s hand interlocked with Kwak Soohwan’s, pinning it to the bed. The melted ointment made the movement easier, but his suddenly stretched insides were still tight.“Seokhwa.”“Hnngh…”Gradually pushing deeper, Kwak Soohwan kissed his forehead, which was covered in sweat.“Hoo, Seokhwa hyung.”The ointment on his pubic hair tickled his buttocks even more. The varied sensations inside and out were driving Seokhwa’s mind crazy. This painful yet pleasurable act might only be possible through sex, explaining why humans have repeatedly reproduced through such pleasurable acts. Though he and Kwak Soohwan couldn’t reproduce…Then why did it feel like his insides were going insane?It hurts, but itches…Seokhwa wanted to scratch his lower abdomen.“What are you thinking about?” Kwak Soohwan’s eyes were occasionally unfamiliar, wanting Seokhwa’s full attention.“Huh?”Prodding inside for an answer, Seokhwa’s mouth opened.“…Sex.”Drunk, Seokhwa’s responses were unpredictable. Determined to keep him focused, Kwak Soohwan picked up the pace.The friction and the viscosity of the ointment made his cock and Seokhwa’s inner walls stick together completely. The inside itch was unbearable. When his cock passed through, it felt cool for a moment, but he wanted to scratch it desperately with his fingers. His inner walls convulsed wildly.“Haa, hyung… This isn’t just for wounds, it’s for sex.”Maybe we should mass-produce it when we get back to the city? It’s better than any gel, considering you made it.Caught between itchiness and pain, Seokhwa gripped their intertwined hands. Surprised by his strength, Kwak Soohwan looked at his dilated pupils with admiration.“The ointment… what ointment did you use?”Thinking he had made a mistake, Kwak Soohwan tried to pull out, but Seokhwa shuddered violently.“The one stored in the herbal drawer. Ugh.”The clenching around his cock made Kwak Soohwan let out a low groan.“No, don’t… Because of the viscosity, I used it…”Seokhwa released their interlocked hands, spreading his fingers and pressing his lower abdomen hard. White marks were left wherever he pressed.“Inside, too. It’s so itchy. Ugh.”My penis wasn’t itchy at all, it just felt good. What on earth did he put in there…?“If you scratch it, it’ll hurt. Sorry, I should have told you.”I had just used the ointment Seokhwa made without thinking much about it.“It’s because of the mucin.”I didn’t know what that was, but since I was fine, I wondered if the symptoms varied from person to person.“Should I wipe it off? What’s mucin, should I wash it off?”Whenever he tried to pull out his penis, Seokhwa would wrap his legs around his waist, as if telling him not to.“Hyung, if you do that, it’ll hurt a lot tomorrow. If there’s a way to help, tell me, okay?”“There isn’t. Just… just stay still.”“Stay still? Do you mean yam, the edible one?”Seokhwa nodded while pressing down on my lower abdomen with his hand, trying to scratch.Is he talking about that yam that’s shaped like a blunt penis? I had no idea yam could cause itching. Besides, I didn’t know that such an ingredient was in the ointment.“Ah, I should have told you before applying it.”“Move, quickly, scratch it…”Seokhwa spread my buttocks wide with his hands. Despite the situation, it was thrilling. I quickly started moving my hips, as he urged me on.“Seokhwa hyung, is it itchy here?”“Inside… all over… Soohwan, do something… Ah!”I pounded slowly, then stirred in circles, making Seokhwa gasp silently, his mouth gaping. What are we going to do about hyung tomorrow? But it seemed Seokhwa didn’t care about tomorrow as his lower body twitched.“Faster… more…”Seokhwa’s incessant urging left me in a dilemma. Kwak Soohwan spread Seokhwa’s inner thighs with his hands. Moving slowly only made Seokhwa wriggle around, risking injury, so he gradually increased the speed.With vigorous thrusts, the sound of his penis hitting the stomach echoed, and Seokhwa’s thighs turned red and hot. His hole tightened around the penis, stretching and contracting repeatedly.“Phew, this is driving me crazy.”“Ah… me too. I’m going… crazy… it’s so itchy.”Seokhwa arched his back, constantly reaching down with his hands. Afraid of injuring the delicate skin, Kwak Soohwan pulled out his penis quickly. The ointment had melted inside, making it useless to wipe off.Meanwhile, Seokhwa was swirling three fingers inside himself. Pulling them out forcefully to prevent injury, Seokhwa whimpered with a mix of pain and frustration. Gently, Kwak Soohwan inserted one middle finger into Seokhwa’s swollen entrance. The inflamed inner walls were swollen all over.“Ugh. Scratch it harder…”He made Seokhwa lie face down and got off the bed. With one knee on the bed, he spread Seokhwa’s buttocks with his thumb and index finger, inserting his middle finger and swirling it around.His toes and fingers repeatedly curled and straightened, with no sign of the ointment’s itch-relief. The sound of fingers thrusting inside echoed, drenching the sheets beneath Seokhwa.Instead of fingers, hurry up and use the big one, Soohwan.Kwak Soohwan pressed his forehead with the inside of his wrist. Although the ointment’s effect wasn’t affecting him, pre-cum dripped from his aroused urethra.“If I do it now, I might be too rough.”Leaning back against the bed’s headboard, he placed Seokhwa on top of him. Seokhwa immediately positioned himself to insert the penis into his split buttocks. Before Kwak Soohwan could tell him to go slowly, Seokhwa had already lowered himself, taking the entire penis inside. Though he grabbed Seokhwa’s arms, it was already fully inserted. Seokhwa trembled, drooling as he sat impaled.Soohwan, what do I do? It’s too…Kwak Soohwan hugged Seokhwa’s upper body tightly.“Ha, ugh. Put your cum inside.”Seokhwa said nonsensical things, believing it would stop the itch. The combination of alcohol and the itchy ointment had left Seokhwa with no rationality. Moving recklessly, Seokhwa might really hurt himself.Kwak Soohwan held Seokhwa’s legs down off the bed, making it easier to move, while supporting Seokhwa’s back firmly.“Will it really stop the itch if I cum?”Ignoring the words, Seokhwa twisted his body, urging him to move.Hold tight.Seokhwa clasped his hands around Kwak Soohwan’s neck. At the same time, Kwak Soohwan started thrusting. Fearing Seokhwa might fall if he lost grip, he locked his arms tightly. Grasping Seokhwa’s hips, he thrust rapidly from top to bottom.“Ah, ah!”“Phew, still itchy? Really?”“No, no… it’s soothing.”“Soothing? Should I thrust more? Keep scratching inside with this?”“Ah! Ah!”Even thrusting to the limit wasn’t enough; he pressed Seokhwa’s waist harder into his lower body. Seokhwa’s fluids spurted out, dripping down and wetting the insertion point. Seokhwa’s sweat-drenched hands slipped off his neck. Kwak Soohwan quickly lifted Seokhwa.“Ugh!”He swiftly pulled the bed sheet to wrap around Seokhwa, pushing him against the wall.“Damn, I really tried to hold back.”Veins bulged on his neck and arms. Seokhwa clung to his forearms, but kept slipping. Even Seokhwa’s legs wrapped around his waist started to loosen. As his penis slid out of Seokhwa’s hole, Seokhwa’s shoulders trembled from the shock.Even as Kwak Soohwan turned him around, Seokhwa’s legs were still trembling. He pinned Seokhwa’s wrists to the wall and thrust upwards from below.The loosened opening seemed to welcome the intrusion, squeezing tightly, while Soohwan’s cock felt as though it might burst through Seokhwa’s tailbone. His arms were held so he couldn’t collapse to the floor. He was pulled out only to be rammed back in so hard it almost made Seokhwa gag.Instead of intermittent itching, it now felt like his entire body had become one giant nerve, responding wildly. Electric shocks sparked in his eyes, and his body was completely at Soohwan’s mercy. Stop, Soohwan…! Ah, hngh, even calling his name, which usually made him relent, was to no avail.The more Soohwan thrust inside, the more Seokhwa’s inner walls softened. The head of his cock repeatedly caught on the entrance before sliding out again, leaving Seokhwa unable to focus. Just when he thought he couldn’t take it anymore, Soohwan reached a depth he had never reached before. At the same time, Soohwan’s cock pulsed and released a torrent of semen.As he ejaculated, he gripped and shook Seokhwa’s own cock as if trying to burst it. Seokhwa, unable to hold back, ejaculated against the wall.“Ah… ugh.”With Soohwan still thrusting inside and shaking him from the front, Seokhwa’s legs completely gave out. He leaned his upper body forward, resting his forehead against the wall. His buttocks remained pressed against Soohwan, barely standing on tiptoes. He kept rubbing his toes against Soohwan’s shins.Kwak Soohwan began to move inside him again. The hot semen didn’t alleviate the itch; it only made Seokhwa’s belly burn even more.“Soohwan… I’m exhausted.”“Still itchy, right? Hmm?”Kwak Soohwan bit his shoulder hard.“It’s not itchy… Ah!”When he pulled his cock out, a flood of semen spilled onto the floor. Kwak Soohwan wrapped his arms around Seokhwa’s waist and fingered his hole. Each time, more semen gushed out.Stop. Enough.Ignoring Seokhwa’s plea, he scratched the perineum with his fingers, which was still itching. Kwak Soohwan glanced at the bed and clicked his tongue. The thin mattress was soaked, and they would have to sleep on the floor, so he got off the bed, though it was already too late. He decided there was no helping it now. Kwak Soohwan threw the wet sheet aside and carried Seokhwa onto the mattress.“Seokhwa hyung, let’s sleep on top of me tonight.”But Seokhwa was too exhausted to understand anything. His thighs were cramping too much to manage any position other than lying down.Kwak Soohwan propped a pillow under Seokhwa’s stomach to make him comfortable, lifting his hips slightly, and spread his buttocks. Despite the rough treatment, his hole remained open, showing no signs of swelling. Wiping away the white semen with his hand, Seokhwa whimpered.Kwak Soohwan climbed on top of Seokhwa and pressed his cock downwards from above. Seokhwa’s buttocks clenched, forming hollows. Telling him to relax, Soohwan gently massaged his buttocks, making Seokhwa sigh in pleasure.“Honestly, you like this position, don’t you?”Moving his hips slowly, he asked. Lying flat without using his legs or arms for support was, truthfully, the most comfortable position. However, the vertical penetration pushed against his lower abdomen, making him shiver. Nothing in the world is entirely perfect. Seokhwa pondered this as he had sex, coming to all sorts of realizations.“It’s comfortable… but it’s too deep, my belly…”Kwak Soohwan slid his hand between Seokhwa’s stomach and the pillow, gently caressing him. Pressing his fingers into his belly button, something squirted out below.Seokhwa winced, glancing back at him, but it was too difficult and he buried his face in the mattress again.“Is the itching… better?”A nod was his only response. Maybe Soohwan’s semen had neutralized the ointment, as the overwhelming urge to scratch was gone. Instead, another desire took its place inside him.Soohwan, I need to sleep. We have to leave tomorrow…The mattress absorbed Seokhwa’s muffled voice. Each thrust of Soohwan’s hips made Seokhwa drool onto the mattress.“Sorry, I’ll finish quickly so you can rest.”Huh? Just bear with it a little longer. Soohwan coaxed.Seokhwa regretted not removing the ointment earlier. There was still a faint itch, and every scratch from Soohwan brought him to the peak of pleasure.“Ha, our Seokhwa hyung’s cock seems to be doing well too.”Seokhwa groped for Soohwan’s arm, pulling it towards him and biting down.“I’ll stop. I did it because it felt good.”He leaned in and kissed Seokhwa’s soft ear and cheek.“It’s our last night here. We might never have a world just for the two of us again.”Seokhwa pressed his lips to Soohwan’s hand in response. Kwak Soohwan grabbed Seokhwa’s cock that had been rubbing against the pillow. He thrust hard, pressing his pubic bone against Seokhwa’s backside.As his prostate tingled, nerves raced through his cock. The inner stimulation made the outside even harder. Huff, huff, Seokhwa’s breaths caught in his throat. Kwak Soohwan shook Seokhwa’s cock until he was close to climax, then grabbed both of his arms and pulled them back.“Ha! Ah!”The sudden breathlessness made Seokhwa feel like he would pass out. His cock convulsed as it spurted semen without being touched. Seokhwa looked down in disbelief. It was his first time ejaculating hands-free, unsure if it was even possible. Continuous thrusts from behind made his softening cock jiggle.“Hurry, hngh, hurry.”I really can’t hold on any longer. Soohwan.Seokhwa let out a low scream with all his remaining strength. Soohwan pulled out his raging cock, scratching Seokhwa’s insides on the way out. Hot semen poured onto his sweat-cooled back. The contrasting temperatures made him shiver. The semen trailed down his sides, soaking into his skin and causing spasms.A kiss on the nape of his neck signaled the end. Feeling Soohwan’s erect cock rub against his back, Seokhwa used all his strength to flip over. He could feel him getting hard again.Seokhwa’s face had gone completely pale. Any more and he might really pass out. Exhausted, he could only breathe heavily.Feeling guilty, Soohwan also breathed heavily, kissing Seokhwa’s parted lips. Seokhwa looked too pale to withstand a full kiss. Kwak Soohwan sat at the edge of the bed until Seokhwa’s breathing steadied. He gently brushed aside the hair stuck to Seokhwa’s forehead, one strand at a time, as if sweeping them all at once would be too wasteful. Meanwhile, Seokhwa’s eyes gently closed.Kwak Soohwan heated water in a dented but clean pot while washing himself with cold water. Glancing outside, he saw the two of them had also fallen into a drunken sleep. Kwak Soohwan rinsed the towel Seokhwa had laid out on the floor with cold water, then soaked it in hot water.Now this is the last time I’ll be doing this for you.

Despite the poor conditions, Seokhwa seemed to appreciate what I did for him. When we get to the shelter, he’ll have hot water and a proper bath, which will obviously be better for him.Since it was the last day at the mountain cabin, Kwak Soohwan carefully cleaned Seokhwa’s body, making sure no trace of dirt or his own semen remained. Despite Seokhwa being just thin and not particularly small, to Kwak Soohwan, he often seemed pitiful. Of course, Kwak Soohwan had seen people smaller and thinner than Seokhwa, but he never felt this way about them. Seokhwa had always been special to him from the start.Seokhwa, his heart, his life, his family, lay on top of him. Seokhwa was everything that made Kwak Soohwan live like a human being.“You’ve had a hard time, haven’t you? Please bear with me, just think of me as your clueless younger brother.”Had Seokhwa been awake, he might have complained about Soohwan only acting like a younger brother when it suited him. Soohwan draped a towel over Seokhwa’s body. There was still no response, but the rise and fall of his breathing was endearing.***Not all soldiers can handle their liquor well, but the three from the invincible squad were known drinkers even in the military.They often drank together, not because they were close friends, but because they didn’t need to clean up after each other. Even though Yang Sanghoon had a habit of blacking out, he always managed to find his way back to his room. So he clearly remembered crawling into his sleeping bag last night.But why did Dr. Seokhwa’s face look so haggard overnight, despite eating so well yesterday?Did something happen while I blacked out? Did Dr. Seokhwa and Kwak Soohwan really try to escape, leading to a fight with Lee Chaeyoon?Yang Sanghoon had dozens of questions swirling in his mind. Lee Chaeyoon’s sharper-than-usual gaze repeatedly stabbed at Kwak Soohwan.“Do you think we can leave today? You son of a bitch? A bear came down and nearly knocked over the cabin.”“What bear? It was beyond my control.”Kwak Soohwan said as if he had done nothing wrong, noticing Lee Chaeyoon’s accusatory tone.“Hey, what happened last night?”Yang Sanghoon followed closely behind Kwak Soohwan, who was moving their essential supplies.“Nothing happened.”“Then why is the Major acting like that? And why does Dr. Seokhwa look like he’s at death’s door?”Seokhwa had offered to help with the packing, but it was clearly beyond his ability. In the end, he had to lie in the sleeping bag on the backseat of the jeep to conserve his strength.“It’s just the ointment, the ointment.”Kwak Soohwan loaded food for their trip back to the city into the trunk.“Ointment?”“Hey, what are we going to do about the cabin? Set it on fire?”Lee Chaeyoon shouted from the front of his jeep.“We’re not running away after committing a crime, so why set it on fire? I’ll take care of the cleanup, Sanghoon, you get ready to leave.”Kwak Soohwan also had to put on his Rainbow City uniform for the first time in a while. He slipped his dog tags, brought by Yang Sanghoon, around his neck and tucked them inside his shirt.He went back into the cabin to finish up. He used the remaining water in the bucket to completely extinguish the fireplace and grabbed a few soap bars and towels. He also poured the properly heated tea into the thermos Lee Chaeyoon had brought. There was no need to take the burner, so he left it on the dining table. They had two jeeps for the journey. The bridge connecting Russia and the Korean Peninsula was in such a poor state that the jeeps couldn’t cross it. Taking the land route would double the travel time, and encountering looters along the way would be troublesome.Kwak Soohwan left the broken cabin door as it was and headed for the jeep. The two men standing by the hood had a map spread out on it. He loaded the trunk with all the food they wouldn’t need to take with them.“Did you guys come here by land?”“Yeah, through China. We had a few run-ins along the way. Why?”“I have a boat hidden up here. No one’s used it, so it should still be there.”It was a six-seater, so it would comfortably fit everyone.“Did you steal the boat from the city?”“Considering how much I’ve done for the city, even if I stole a ferry, they’d have no right to complain.”Arrogant bastard, Lee Chaeyoon flipped him off.“We’ll leave first, so follow us. It should take about thirty minutes.”“Why are you taking so much food?”Yang Sanghoon pointed to the trunk full of food.“There’s a village on the way down. No point in letting it go to waste, might as well give it to them.”Kwak Soohwan got into the driver’s seat.“That guy’s just doing this to impress Dr. Seokhwa.”“Obviously. That sly bastard.”I can hear you, you assholes. Kwak Soohwan manually rolled up the jeep’s window.He grabbed the headrest of the driver’s seat and looked back. Only Seokhwa’s eyes, nose, and mouth were visible outside the sleeping bag, tightly closed to keep the cold air out, making him look rather uncomfortable. Since he wasn’t sleeping soundly, Seokhwa struggled to open his eyes. He pulled his hand out from under his chin and stretched the elastic band at the entrance of the sleeping bag.“Are you okay?”Kwak Soohwan had already prepared an excuse, fearing Seokhwa might ask why he didn’t hold back a bit yesterday. He’d just blame it on being drunk.“I’ll move to the front seat.”But there was no sign of resentment in Seokhwa’s eyes. He was always like that. Instead of blaming others, he only blamed himself for being weak. Seokhwa, you fool, you should be resenting me. Kwak Soohwan felt inexplicably upset.“I must have been crazy last night. Just stay where you are.”“I’m fine. I feel bad for the other Majors.”“Anyway, we’re much better at heavy lifting.”Even though he was sick, Seokhwa felt bad about lying down and resting while others were working. Of course, even if his help would be more of a hindrance to them.“We’re about to leave. I’ll drive as slowly as possible.”“I’ll move to the passenger seat.”“I told you to just lie down.”For some reason, Seokhwa stubbornly got out of the sleeping bag and moved the blanket to the passenger seat. He was sweating cold by the time he got from the back door to the front seat. Kwak Soohwan wished he could remove and reattach his own dick, an absurd thought.Seokhwa fastened his seatbelt and leaned sideways towards Kwak Soohwan. When the engine started, the shaking almost made him groan. Unlike the others who had grilled meat for breakfast, Seokhwa had only eaten chicken porridge.“Get some more rest, you’ve already reflected enough.”“I’m not looking at you to make you reflect.”“I really didn’t know. That ointment would do that. Was it mucin? Mucin?”“…Mucin. It’s a slime from yams, but I’m allergic to it.”He was glad he didn’t have any allergies. If he had, Seokhwa might have been at death’s door by now.“Do you know what ‘death by overexertion’ is?”“Yes, I do.”“I have to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.”He couldn’t even laugh softly. It hurt too much to laugh since it made his stomach ache. Seokhwa silently said goodbye to the mountain and to the musk deer that might be somewhere out there.“Let’s stop by the village to give them the leftover herbs and food.”“Why?”Why? Kwak Soohwan was surprised by Seokhwa’s question. However, he continued to drive slowly.“Is it because they ratted us out?”Yesterday he seemed fine, but maybe he wasn’t.“If we leave it at the cabin, people will take it anyway.”“Then let’s just leave it at the entrance of the village.”The village was on the way down anyway.“…Do you think he’s dead?”“Huh?”“That person.”Kwak Soohwan instinctively thought of the rabies-infected patient.“We didn’t infect him, so don’t dwell on it.”“Major, I feel overwhelmed by people’s expectations.”Even with his hoarse voice, it was pleasant to hear.“I only made herbs and ointments because people needed them, not because I’m a doctor. But I was probably the only one they could rely on. I shouldn’t feel burdened by it, but when they’re disappointed in me like yesterday… I feel disappointed in myself too.”Kwak Soohwan didn’t know Seokhwa felt that way.To Kwak Soohwan, everyone but Seokhwa was just an outsider, and he didn’t care if they lived or died. And if someone had expectations of him and was disappointed? He’d spit at them, telling them to mind their own business.“Dr. Seokhwa and I are like fire and water.”“But you said we were a match made in heaven.”“What? You heard that?”Seokhwa, you sly fox. Kwak Soohwan was the one with a sly look.“Dr. Seokhwa is a researcher of mutants and the Adam virus. What else do you need to be good at? Expecting you to be perfect at everything is like telling me to hole up in a lab and make a vaccine. And you’ve always done well. You’ve always tried, and that’s incredible.”After being sick, I realized how much of a burden it is to be physically weak.“I didn’t say that to get comfort.”“I’m not saying it to comfort you.”He smiled with his eyes.Kwak Soohwan stopped the car at the entrance of the village, where a snow-covered sign hung. Smoke rose continuously from inside, indicating people were still living there.While he unloaded boxes of food and herbs from the trunk, Lee Chaeyoon and Yang Sanghoon sat in the jeep, resting their chins on their hands, yawning as if they couldn’t bear the boredom.“You selfish bastards, people should live like humans, helping each other.”Lee Chaeyoon stuck his head out of the open driver’s window.“Hey, you crazy bastard. Does living like a human mean smashing someone’s skull with your bare hands?”Would there ever be another time like that? He hoped not. Kwak Soohwan took off his leather gloves and put them in his pocket.When he returned to the driver’s seat, Seokhwa was waiting in the same position as before. It must be hard to stay in that position, but he couldn’t change it because he was in so much pain. At least from here, the road was paved. The cement was full of potholes, but it was better than the mountain path.As he drove towards the harbor where the boat was hidden, he opened the thermos lid and handed it to Seokhwa.“If by any chance… if I become a burden… you can tell me honestly.”“…Damn, babe. Are you trying to make me cry? I told you not to say things like that, it’s a bad omen.”Seokhwa didn’t see him almost getting angry enough to cry. He just sipped the warm liquid. The aroma wasn’t just water; it had a savory scent. It was probably the root of the Japanese angelica tree he had dried.“Honestly, Seokhwa hyung is hardly ever a burden. He eats little, listens well, and even has a naughty side.”“Yesterday, the Major took care of everything again.”“That’s my hobby and self-healing time.”Seokhwa poured water into a cup and handed it to him. Kwak Soohwan drank it all at once and handed the cup back to Seokhwa. He then noticed the black sea swelling in front of them and the wooden cabin next to the harbor, and he sped up a bit.Russia had always been part of the journey to return home.This time, it might be the final farewell, as they might never leave home again. The frozen valleys, the howling wolves, and the musk deer that had kept him company in solitude were all behind him now.Seokhwa sat up and looked back. The jeep carrying his comrades was closely following them.He had come a long way from Jeju Island. What if someone had told him all this would happen just before he moved up to Yeouido? He wouldn’t have understood or paid attention.In his closed-off world, his mother had loved him dearly. Dr. Oh had occasionally invited him home out of sympathy, and there had been peers who reached out to him at the learning center. But the world he had locked himself in had never opened. After his mother passed away, he had resigned himself to believing no one would understand him. But Kwak Soohwan had changed him. He was the type to forcefully break open and shatter any door.Perhaps he had been waiting for someone like that for a long time.“Shall we go?”Kwak Soohwan, opening the passenger door, pointed to the sea leading to the East Sea. The fierce winter wind could only ruffle his hair, unable to linger on any part of his body. Even if the high waves swept him away, Seokhwa wouldn’t hesitate to head toward the sea because Kwak Soohwan was there.“Let’s go back to Rainbow City.”They were heading once more into an open world.
