Dane, who was bringing a half-drank can of beer to his mouth, paused. It seemed that he had quite a bit of memory of his reaction last time. However, he couldn’t lie. So Dane just drank the beer without saying anything. Grayson looked down at his reaction. He looked genuinely depressed. Dane, who had been quietly looking at his face, opened his mouth.
“Are you upset, or are you sad?”
Grayson blinked. Dane waited without rushing him to answer. Grayson, who had been staring at Dane for a moment, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
I guess he doesn’t know.
Dane decided. Of course. That man wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. No, he couldn’t tell if he was actually feeling anything. He just made an expression out of habit.
After thinking for a while, Dane turned his head. The bright sky stretched out beyond the window of the snack room where they were sitting. It was still sunny even though they had just returned from work during the summer time.
Dane put the empty beer can down on the table and turned his gaze to Grayson. His eyes narrowed slightly. Slowly raising the corners of his mouth, Dane asked in a low voice.
“Have you ever been hit on?”
Grayson blinked twice with his mouth corners raised. ... ... What did I hear?
“What?”
Dane smiled strangely at him, who had only said one word, as if he had expected that. When he felt a chill for some reason, Dane got up and said.
“Get up, let’s go.”
“Where?”
Dane simply answered Grayson, who asked curiously.
“You drive.”
He frowned at the unexpected words, but Dane turned around and left the snack room, seemingly unwilling to say anything more. Grayson eventually followed him out without asking any more questions. Suddenly, he heard a sound. Grayson opened his eyes wide in surprise when he realized that Dane was whistling ahead of him.
There's something.
Grayson glanced at Dane, who was sitting in the passenger seat, even though he was behind the wheel. Dane was lying down with his seat back and his hands clasped behind his head. Looking at his eyes comfortably closed, he seemed to be asleep, but Grayson knew very well that he wasn't.
Grayson became increasingly anxious as Dane drove along the route he had personally entered into the car's navigation system. Eventually, he couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a sigh.
"You're not going to sleep with anyone, are you?"
He asked lightly, trying to hide his true feelings, but Dane answered dryly.
"Well? I'll go and see."
This time, he turned his head completely and looked at his face. Grayson asked Dane, who was still closing his eyes and pretending not to know, with a smile. Of course, he didn't tilt his eyes at all.
“You don’t think I’ll just watch, do you?”
Then Dane twisted his lips and smirked. The moment Grayson paused, he said as if he was annoyed.
“What do you care?”
For a moment, Grayson wanted to just crash his supercar into a wall. However, just as he was about to turn the steering wheel, a mechanical sound suddenly rang out.
[Going straight. Switched to autonomous driving.]
To his dismay, the car took the steering wheel away from Grayson. Grayson was shocked, but Dane just closed his eyes and giggled.
In the end, he was forced to accompany Dane on his way to find a sex partner against his will.
“This is unfair.”
Grayson complained as soon as he got out of the car. Dane closed the passenger door and stared at him with half-open eyes. His attitude only made Grayson even angrier.
“We decided not to do this for a while, right? But what the hell is this? You are such a godless man. How can you drag someone you’re dating to cheat on me? Hey, can’t you hear me? Where are you going? Hey! Dane Striker!”
Grayson’s clothes finally burst as he slowly walked toward the shopping district, scratching one of his ears with his pinky finger.
“A godless and promiscuous bastard. A horny dog. A sex addict. A worn-out penis.......”
“Come in!”
A loud voice cut through Grayson’s endless swearing and cursing. Grayson, who had followed Dane into the store after only looking at the back of his head, belatedly stopped and turned his head. The owner, who was standing at the cash register at the entrance of the store, greeted Dane, who had entered first, lively and cheerfully.
“Oh my, who is this? Welcome, Dane. How long has it been! How have you been? Why haven’t you been here? Did you move to a different store? Huh?”
Dane smiled brightly at the owner’s noticeably nagging behavior. Grayson’s face turned grim for a moment, but he ignored it and continued talking.
“No way, you were just busy. How have you been? You’re still pretty......”
“Oh my, now you’re even talking nonsense.”
The owner lightly scolded Dane, but he seemed happy. Of course, Grayson’s insides were completely twisted as he watched the scene.
What? Pretty? That punk says that to everyone?
He used to call Grayson pretty and flirt with him, but now that he looks at it, he says it to everyone. That fact alone was shocking, but surprisingly, Dane laughed and even joked with the owner. I couldn’t believe that Dane, who was never sociable, but rather full of complaints and even bluntness, would say and do such things.
Could it be that his target was that man?
Grayson’s head suddenly cooled down. It was obvious. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to come here and say such annoying things.
While standing in front of me.
Grayson’s eyes turned golden with anger. At that moment, the owner who was smiling at Dane stopped.
“Oh my, what is that smell? It’s the first time I’ve smelled it... Did you spray perfume?”
The owner sniffed out of nowhere and brought his nose to Dane’s body. Of course, it was the scent of Grayson’s pheromones. But how could he use such an obvious method? It’s disgusting!
“That’s....”
Just as he was about to say, “It’s my pheromones,” Dane laughed and said.
“No way, I don’t spray perfume. See, I don’t?”
He deliberately opened his jacket and leaned down. It seemed like he was trying to give him a better smell, but to Grayson’s eyes, it just seemed like the two were just joking around. Of course, that was actually Dane’s intention. The owner, who had been breathing so close that his nose was almost touching Dane’s chest, blushed and looked up at him.
“Huh, really? That’s weird.”
“Right?”
Dane smiled softly and pointed to the window next to the cash register.
“If it bothers you, why don’t you ventilate?”
“Should I?”
Only then did the owner reluctantly pull away from Dane and head to the window. Dane turned toward the inside of the store after seeing him pull up the blinds covering the window. He naturally grabbed one of the baskets next to the cash register and glanced back. He said nonchalantly to Grayson, who had been glaring at him with scary eyes until then.
“What are you doing? You pick one too.”
What are you talking about, that kid.
Grayson frowned even more in disbelief. But Dane just looked around the display case, picking up items one by one and dropping them into the basket.
What the heck... ... .
Grayson, who had no idea what was going on, walked briskly toward Dane with a frown on his face. Now that he thought about it, what kind of store was this? He belatedly began to wonder. He had been busy following Dane in, so he hadn’t even looked at the sign properly. He had been so distracted by Dane’s flirting with the owner that he hadn’t had time to look around the store.
I guess I came to sleep with the owner... ... .
As Grayson turned his head while thinking that, something came into his sight. Dane had just picked up an item from the display case and put it into the basket. At that moment, Grayson saw the words and pictures written on the box.
Nipple clips.
Grayson stopped moving and stared at the box.
