He was really exhausted. Even though he had slept so much, his strength left him in an instant, to the point that his eyes became cloudy. Ji Hong understood this. It was mental fatigue. There is nothing to be done. Child, marriage, words that he thought would never have anything to do with him, suddenly appeared one after another. The very fact that he did not avoid these topics and seriously discussed them took a lot of energy.
"Marriage..." - Ji Hong mentally repeated this still unfamiliar word. In a way, talking about it was even more shocking than talking about a child. Well, they have already talked a lot about children during estrus. Although these conversations were not conducted in his right mind, but thanks to all the nonsense that they said then, he developed a certain immunity.

But they started talking about marriage for the first time. Jae Kyung had been singing about how much he loved Hyun all this time, but he had never mentioned getting married, so Ji Hong thought that he didn't have much of a desire to get married. Although not as convinced an opponent of marriage as he was, Ji Hong believed that Jae-kyung adhered to more liberal views, typical of the present time: "Why do you have to get married? If you love - live together, if you want to part - break up, if you don't want - live together all your life."
And it turns out that he was going to get married all this time. In fact, he took it for granted so much that he didn't even talk about it. And he even planned to make an offer after receiving the Olympic gold medal.
- …

For some reason, double fatigue set in. Feeling that he might doze off while sitting, Ji Hong climbed onto the bed and lay down. But as soon as he tried to fall asleep, the dream disappeared. My heart was pounding too hard. In addition, it seems that my palms are sweaty. The more he thought, the more confused his thoughts became, and although he tried not to think about it anymore, his head was spinning against his will:
"What is to be done, what is to be done? What if Jae Kyung really proposes?.. Maybe first pretend to be surprised, and then say that he is so shocked that he does not know what to answer? That I will give an answer later?.. No, then Kwon Jae Kyung will definitely get angry, saying that he told everything six months ago, and you pretend that you are hearing for the first time. He will surely forget that he himself asked me to pretend that I do not know anything, and will rage why I did not prepare an answer in advance...
Then... Maybe just agree? To begin with, say "okay"? And about the wedding date then we can calmly discuss? After all, you don't have to get married immediately after the proposal, do you? So hold on for about a year, and when Jae-kyung can't stand it and demands to immediately name the date, say that it would be nice in six years? Like, let's get married when you reach my current age, if you still want it? Of course, Kwon Jae Kyung will start saying "Hyung, are you a swindler?" again.

But I don't refuse to get married, I just want to do it slowly, do I? Why is this a scam? No?! Great! That's how we'll do it!"
After he arbitrarily came to such a decision, his soul was relieved, and drowsiness naturally came. And while he imagined how happy Jae Kyung would be (fraud or not) when he accepted the offer. The fear finally disappeared, replaced by a slight trepidation and anticipation. In a half-asleep state, Ji Hong even caught himself thinking that he wanted the Olympics to end as soon as possible.
"How much time has passed?"

Ji Hong, who had been quietly asleep, woke up to feel Jae Kyung climbing onto the bed.
"Oh, you're sleeping?..
In response to a question asked by a hoarse voice from sleep, Jae Kyung replied "yes". Judging by the darkness around, night had already fallen.

"Then move closer here."
Ji Hong, half-asleep, moved and muttered.
-Do not. There's plenty of space here. Sleep comfortably, hyung.

Ji Hong chuckled even in this state. This bed was not even king-size, but just a double bed. There was barely enough room to fit two adult men of normal build, and it was definitely impossible for two large guys like them to sit freely. Therefore, I always had to sleep, involuntarily huddled together, as a single whole.
"Stop being stubborn, come here." You'll fall down again.
After saying that, Ji Hong turned to the wall to make more room for Jae Kyung. Soon he felt his presence behind him. He lay down, turning in the same direction, and with a natural movement, hugged Ji Hong with one hand. At the same time, his fingers involuntarily slid over his chest, causing Ji Hong to involuntarily shiver. Noticing this tension, Jae Kyung immediately said with a laugh.

"I won't do anything. Sleep well.
"No, I wasn't actually worried..."
While Ji Hong was making excuses in his mind, Jae Kyung suddenly called cautiously.
"Hyung, aren't you afraid to lie like this?"

-A what?..
Ji Hong turned around and looked at Jae Kyung, wondering why he had decided that. After a pause, Jae Kyung explained.
"Then at the end... During the coupling, we were in the same position.

From such an unexpected reason, Ji Hong couldn't help but exclaim.
-A what? Not at all!
He finally woke up.

"I didn't even think about it, hey.
Hearing these words spoken with laughter, Jae Kyung finally buried his face in Ji Hun's shoulder with relief. For a moment, he seemed to squeeze his hand tighter around his waist, but then he loosened his grip again.
"For some reason, it seems that he cannot hug me calmly..."

Ji Hong also felt uncomfortable. And indeed, after a while, Jae Kyung carefully removed his hand, got up and got off the bed.
"Maybe you should go get some water?" thought Ji Hong as he listened to the door open and close quietly.
He decided that he would be back soon, but no matter how much he waited, Jae Kyung didn't come back. With a feeling of foreboding, Ji Hong went into the living room and, as expected, found Jae Kyung lying on the couch. He shook him by the shoulder.

"Why are you lying down here?"
When he told to go to bed to sleep, Jae Kyung opened his eyes for a second, closed them again, and answered:
-Everything is fine. You are still not in the best condition. Sleep peacefully alone.

"Hey, what the hell?.. I'm perfectly fine, by the way.
Ji Hong laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
- And I don't feel uncomfortable when you're around. Do you think I'd sleep with you all this time if it was uncomfortable?

-But...
-Stop it. Get up quickly. Let's go to sleep in bed.
Ji Hong grabbed Jae Kyung's hand and forced him to stand up. Although he forcibly brought him to the room and put him to bed, Jae Kyung clearly continued to worry about Ji Hun's condition. He did not hug as usual, did not press his whole body, but lay down as far as possible, turning in the opposite direction. Looking at this, Ji Hong suddenly thought.

"Maybe he left not because he was uncomfortable with me, but because he himself was uncomfortable?"
The next day, Ji Hong's suspicions intensified. The fact is that Jae Kyung, as soon as he opened his eyes, immediately went into the living room, as if he was waiting for just that. He had never done this before. Usually, Jae Kyung, being a morning person, woke up without an alarm clock at six in the morning, but did not get up first. He continued to lie next to him and waited for Ji Hong to wake up, and when the alarm clock on Ji Hun's phone rang, he hugged him tightly, kissed him: "Hyun, get up. If you don't get up, I'll kiss you further," and under the pretext of waking up, he satisfied his desires to his heart's content.
And now he runs away like this at lightning speed, as soon as he opens his eyes. Moreover, after that, he never entered the room. Usually, when Ji Hong was lying in bed on the weekend, Jae Kyung would lie down next to him as a matter of course, hugging him, fooling around, and giving him no rest. But today there was nothing like that - all day he just sat alone in the living room and watched movies.

Ji Hong was quite puzzled. Of course, although he didn't talk about it, he was preparing for the fact that from now on, Jae Kyung ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) would harass him a lot. Since Jae Kyung's injection had become useless, there was only hope for his own pheromone suppressants, but it would take a long time to find a suitable dosage that would not harm him and at the same time not affect Jae Kyung. Until then, it is best to avoid contact as much as possible. It seemed that Jae Kyung had also realized the uselessness of the injection and prepared for it. Considering that this was actually the last vacation before the Olympics, Ji Hong naturally thought that Jae Kyung wouldn't just waste this precious week.
As soon as they were alone, this guy hugged, touched, bit, and licked as a matter of course. He behaved like this, even when he loved alone, and now that he knew that the feelings were mutual, that they had gone through heat together, and that he had announced his intention to propose (although he asked him to pretend that he hadn't heard), he would surely act as if they had really become one for the rest of the week. Ji Hong was even worried in advance, thinking that although penetration was impossible due to his condition, Jae Kyung would try to do the rest as possible. And suddenly such modest, even alienated behavior.
"Maybe he thinks I'm very unwell since I'm in bed all the time?.. Is that why he protects me so much?"

Ji Hong, finally worried, got out of bed and walked into the living room. Jae Kyung was still sitting alone on the couch and watching a movie.
-Interesting?
Ji Hong deliberately sat next to Jae Kyung.

-So so.
Jae Kyung replied curtly and, casting a sidelong glance at Ji Hun who was sitting next to him, moved slightly to the side. At first glance, it seemed as if he was just giving up his seat to make him more comfortable sitting, but Ji Hong was sure that Jae Kyung was trying to escape from him. Because as soon as he sat down next to him, Jae Kyung's expression barely noticeably tensed.
