No Moral

boring any indecent feelings for me? I’m asking you very sincerely and not because I’m tipsy.”

Surprisingly, Sehun didn’t jeer at him.
He met Yoonshin’s eyes very patiently.
So despite his growing embarrassment, Yoonshin urged on, filling the air with his voice, “Do you?”

Sehun leered down doggedly like he was stripping the younger man naked, then he retorted, emphasizing each syllable.

His voice was deep and subdued.
“And if I do?”

Sehun’s deep, monotonous voice lingered in Yoonshin’s ears.

Yoonshin winced that instant and swallowed nervously.

Sehun’s reply was terse, but those words bounced around until they completely filled Yoonshin’s brain.
Sehun’s calm voice made Yoonshin’s bony body tenser than if the older man had yelled at him.
He asked after throwing all caution to the wind, but he had never imagined this answer coming from the lips of the cold and self-justified Sehun.

“If you do…” Yoonshin echoed, his face growing warm.
Unlike usual, it was difficult to look directly at the other’s handsome face.

Yoonshin’s mouth felt parched, and his heart pounded in his chest.

“If you do, then… Instead of keeping it to yourself, couldn’t you just give it to me? I’m in an urgent situation.”

Sehun, who was thus far listening attentively, asked, “Are you gay?”

“I never really thought about it.
I just assumed that I was straight.”

“You’re not gay, and you’re not interested in, attracted to, or curious about me in that way.
Yet you’re telling me I can have ulterior motives and that you’re hard-pressed for time.
This is fun.”

Yoonshin felt his cheeks burning and bit his lower lip.
All the while, he felt conscious of Sehun’s gaze.
There was no way Sehun, with his beast-like intuition and judgment, couldn’t catch every minute change in Yoonshin’s face.
