Holy B-Class Life

#093

“……”

Yoon Pa-ran was momentarily at a loss for words after hearing Dan Joo-hyuk’s answer.

Damn. Why did I say that?

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand. If Dan Joo-hyuk had undressed him, he would have been even more furious.

“Your clothes are over there. Change and come out.”

While silently groaning, Dan Joo-hyuk nodded towards one side. On the bedside table were the clothes Yoon Pa-ran had taken off before entering the gate.

Come to think of it, how much time had passed?

As soon as Dan Joo-hyuk closed the bedroom door and left, Yoon Pa-ran hurriedly got up. He quickly grabbed his clothes and checked his mobile phone.

It was still around dinnertime. Since it had been daytime when he entered the gate, he hadn’t been unconscious for too long.

There were no urgent messages either. Somewhat relieved, Yoon Pa-ran then began to remove each item with a disgusted look on his face.

“Ugh……”

When he touched the underwear that had been constricting him all day, the lingering sensation of a tingling pleasure tormented him. With his eyes tightly shut, he hurriedly removed the item.

Only then did he become aware of the pain that remained in his waist and other embarrassing places. However, it seemed like the kind of damage that would heal in just a few hours.

“Phew……”

Whether it was from being pressed down by the weight of the S-class items or not, he felt a kind of liberation as soon as he threw everything off and put on his own clothes. As he slowly moved his body, the memories from before he fainted came rushing back like a tidal wave.

‘If we’re going to do it anyway, it’s better to feel good, right?’

Strangely, his body felt hot. Surprised by the embarrassing feeling, Yoon Pa-ran rubbed his cheeks vigorously.

Somehow, the memories seemed to become clearer as time passed. At first, it felt like everything had ended while he wasn’t fully conscious.

It was the same when he fainted earlier due to the aftermath of the skill transfer. It was frustrating that even the timing of fainting was delayed today for some reason.

“Huff.”

Yoon Pa-ran exhaled briefly and scattered his useless thoughts.

He carefully placed the removed items under the bed and flung open the door.

“Why are you sighing so much?”

But as soon as he left the room, a voice pierced his ears.

“Eek!”

Startled, he turned around to find Dan Joo-hyuk leaning against the wall right next to the door. As if he had been waiting for him to change and come out.

“What is it?”

“It’s late, stay the night.”

Yoon Pa-ran had asked why he was waiting, but Dan Joo-hyuk made another unexpected suggestion. He slowly approached Yoon Pa-ran, detaching himself from the wall.

A bit too close.

“…Why should I?”

“We have to go out together again tomorrow anyway, right?”

As Yoon Pa-ran sharply avoided the fingers approaching his cheek, he narrowed his eyes.

Was there such a schedule?

Dan Joo-hyuk calmly mentioned a gate schedule that even the person involved didn’t know about. Because of this, Yoon Pa-ran looked up at him with a dumbfounded expression. Then, Dan Joo-hyuk’s fingers started to gently tickle his forearm.

Since that touch wasn’t particularly threatening, Yoon Pa-ran left it alone and said,

“No thanks. Just leave a text about where I should go.”

Dan Joo-hyuk didn’t answer. Instead, his fingers slipped under Yoon Pa-ran’s sleeve, gently caressing the soft skin inside his wrist.

This feels a bit… strange.

Unable to withstand the ticklish feeling, Yoon Pa-ran slightly pulled his arm away. Dan Joo-hyuk unexpectedly retreated cleanly and only said,

“Then at least have dinner before you go. I’ve already prepared it.”

“Huh?”

“Come downstairs quickly.”

Hearing something that really didn’t suit Dan Joo-hyuk, Yoon Pa-ran found himself following him out in a daze.

The bedroom was at the far end of the second floor. As they walked down the corridor and reached the stairs leading to the lower floor,

Dan Joo-hyuk suddenly approached again and naturally wrapped one arm around Yoon Pa-ran’s waist.

“What are you doing?”

Startled once more, Yoon Pa-ran instinctively backed away. As his back touched the stair railing, Dan Joo-hyuk pulled him closer, putting more strength into his arm.

“I was wondering if your waist is okay. We overdid it earlier.”

“Shut up.”

Yoon Pa-ran frowned at the tone that seemed to be making fun of him again. Judging by Dan Joo-hyuk’s chuckling laughter, it seemed he was indeed teasing him.

As he tried to push away the arm still attached to his waist, Dan Joo-hyuk moved a step ahead. He descended a couple of stairs, bringing their eye levels almost even.

Just as he was getting annoyed at the height difference, Dan Joo-hyuk’s face suddenly came closer.

In an instant, a warm sensation brushed against the side of his head and disappeared.

“Be careful coming down.”

“……”

Yoon Pa-ran reflexively rubbed his temple vigorously with his palm. The moist sensation from just now was clearly… it felt like lips.

Why is he acting like this?

Yoon Pa-ran frowned at Dan Joo-hyuk’s strange and ticklish behavior since earlier. He couldn’t understand what his purpose was.

Anyway, as he continued walking, a savory smell wafted from the lower floor. Only then did Yoon Pa-ran realize how hungry he actually was, and he headed towards the source of the smell as if entranced.

From the living room where the swimming pool was visible, he headed down the corridor opposite the laundry room. It was his first time stepping into this area.

Another open space appeared, revealing a spacious kitchen. Yoon Pa-ran discreetly observed the impressive kitchen that looked like something out of an advertisement.

“Sit down.”

Dan Joo-hyuk, with his back turned, spoke without looking back. Lowering his gaze, Yoon Pa-ran saw that the table, as large as the kitchen, was set with dinnerware for two people.

But why are they set side by side instead of facing each other?

Just then, Dan Joo-hyuk approached carrying two plates. Yoon Pa-ran, who had been blankly staring at the table, sat down on one side as if pushed.

Before he could question the seating arrangement, a large steak was placed in front of him.

“Eat while it’s warm.”

As soon as he saw the dish, saliva instantly pooled in his mouth. The faint hunger he had felt earlier intensified. Come to think of it, hadn’t he been on an empty stomach since having breakfast?

Suddenly coming to his senses, Yoon Pa-ran looked at Dan Joo-hyuk with faint suspicion. He couldn’t understand at all why he was suddenly being so kind.

“There’s rice too if you need it.”

“…Thank you for the meal.”

However, the following words made up his mind. He decided to fill his stomach for now, assuming it wouldn’t be poisoned.

After all, there were two plates anyway.

The meat, which was quite crispy on the outside, was surprisingly tender when cut. For a moment, he even suspected if the knife he was holding might be an item.

“Mmm……”

After cutting off a large piece, he popped it into his mouth in one go. As soon as it entered his mouth, the steak’s juices burst forth.

“How is it?”

Instead of eating his own portion of meat, Dan Joo-hyuk asked while resting his chin on one hand, looking at Yoon Pa-ran for some reason. Was he not hungry?

Yoon Pa-ran looked up at him curiously, swallowed everything in his mouth, and replied briefly.

“It’s delicious.”

It was the most delicious meat he had ever eaten in his life.

Naturally, it made him think of his family. The little ones at home would surely love meat like this too. He should definitely take them to a Western restaurant that serves this kind of food later.

While absentmindedly thinking about his family and savoring the taste of the meat, Dan Joo-hyuk finally picked up his knife and cut his own steak.

Then he placed almost half of it on Yoon Pa-ran’s plate.

“Eat a lot. It’s rewarding to see you enjoy it.”

Before he could get tense again at this suspicious kindness, something strange caught his ear.

Yoon Pa-ran found himself looking straight at Dan Joo-hyuk and asking,

“Did you say you made this yourself?”

“Yes.”

Reflexively, he looked down at his plate again. The plate not only had meat but also things like asparagus and potatoes.

It seemed like it would have taken quite a bit of effort, not just grilling the meat. It was truly unlike Dan Joo-hyuk.

However, seeing the generous pile of meat, he thought it didn’t really matter.

“……”

After that, Dan Joo-hyuk quietly watched Yoon Pa-ran eat enthusiastically.

Even though he had deliberately sat right next to him, Yoon Pa-ran didn’t seem to mind much.

…Or maybe he was just really hungry.

Dan Joo-hyuk carefully observed Yoon Pa-ran’s serious focus on the meat. He tried hard to suppress the smile that kept trying to form at the corners of his mouth.

By the time Yoon Pa-ran had emptied about half of his plate,

“……”

When he finishes eating, he’ll say he’s going home.

He knew that the suggestion to stay overnight would be rejected without any room for negotiation. There was no need to keep him here any longer, especially since they had already been intimate today.

Thinking this, Dan Joo-hyuk found himself speaking to Yoon Pa-ran without realizing it. He chose a topic that could lead to a longer conversation.

Something kept feeling lacking.

“About that skill. You said it appeared when you touched the bronze statue in the safe zone, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Tell me about that situation in detail.”

Yoon Pa-ran, who had been eating even the rice that had somehow appeared in front of him, paused slightly. But soon, he nodded inwardly.

As expected. So he was acting teasingly because he wanted to ask about this. This meal must be some kind of payment too.

Realizing this made him feel more at ease.

With a mind even more relieved than before, Yoon Pa-ran started to enjoy the taste of the food. After swallowing what was in his mouth, he even leaned back in his chair leisurely and asked,

“What do you want to know?”
