Nestled up against YoungSaeng's back, KyuJong reached over to turn the man's face towards him. Smiling softly, he ran a thumb over his cheek. "You okay?" he whispered.
YoungSaeng smiled as KyuJong's thumb ran over his cheek. "Surprisingly, yes," he replied quietly.
"Good," KyuJong returned the smile and leaned in to kiss him. "Because that was, very enjoyable," he murmured around his lips.
"I'm so glad that you enjoyed yourself," YoungSaeng whispered against KyuJong's lips before returning for more.
HyunJoong had to smile as the two. It was just so nice to see YoungSaeng so open and happy.
Shifting and rolling YoungSaeng onto his back, KyuJong continued the kiss, content to just hold him like this and kiss him for a while.
Turning his eyes away from KyuJong and YoungSaeng, JungMin tilted HyunJoong's face toward him and smiled. "And you? Did you enjoy yourself?" he asked quietly.
Looking up at JungMin, HyunJoong pouted. "Two on one is not fair..." he huffed, pulling his lover closer.
Laughing, JungMin tickled HyunJoong's side lightly. "No, it usually isn't, but it's still enjoyable, especially if it's with people you trust."
HyunJoong laughed quietly. "Glad you had so much fun watching, you voyeur."
"Hey, you were the one who was curious about what I was in to, no trying to make fun of me," JungMin said, poking him in the belly.
"Okay fine, I'll give you that," HyunJoong conceded, nudging him back as he bit down the laugh bubbling up at the poke.
"So, nap time?" JungMin murmured, settling down against HyunJoong and hugging him tightly.
"Nap time," HyunJoong agreed. It had been such an odd day, but he couldn't say that he regretted anything. Nothing had changed between YoungSaeng and himself, and nothing seemed to change between either couple, either.
"Excuse me," JungMin said, reaching over to poke KyuJong in the shoulder. "We're going to take a nap now," he said when KyuJong looked up at him.
"Okay?" KyuJong blinked.
"That's going to be hard to do with you two making out," JungMin said, wrapping the edge of the blanket over himself and HyunJoong.
"This is our bed," KyuJong blinked again, looking down at YoungSaeng and then back up at JungMin. "I don't think we're all going to fit."
"Sure we will," JungMin rolled his eyes, laying down and ceasing to pay KyuJong any attention.
KyuJong looked down at YoungSaeng, smiling as he leaned in for another kiss. "So I guess it's nap time."
HyunJoong and YoungSaeng both laughed at the two. After a minute, HyunJoong nudged JungMin playfully. "Come on, Min, don't be lazy. We can go to our room."
"That would require getting up and dressed," JungMin sniffed, not budging.
"It's fine, you two can stay if he's going to be that stubborn," KyuJong said, rolling his eyes and settling against YoungSaeng. "I doubt we'll be able to sleep for long though."
Looking at KyuJong and YoungSaeng, HyunJoong winked before slipping out of JungMin's arms and climbing out of bed. Slipping into his pants, he ignored his shirt and headed to the door.
"Well I think I need a bit of room to move around and perhaps for other reasons. Feel free to join me, JungMin, because you still owe me some one on one time after the nap."
With a teasing yet seductive look at JungMin, HyunJoong walked out of the room, trying his damnedest not to laugh.
YoungSaeng, however, had no such problem, yet buried his head in KyuJong's shoulder to muffle his laughter at his friend's antics.
Pouting when HyunJoong got up, JungMin stayed curled up in the blankets and watched him go. He looked up at YoungSaeng and KyuJong, blinking. "What just happened?"
"HyunJoong wants more, are you going to refuse?" KyuJong chuckled, then laughed as JungMin unrolled from the blankets and hopped to his feet, barely getting his pants up before he was running out the door after HyunJoong, closing the door behind him.
Removing the pants again, HyunJoong climbed into bed and laid down, stretched out across the bed. It felt good to be all stretched out with the room to move. While he loved sleeping with JungMin in both senses, he didn't mind having the amount of room he did until his lover showed up.
He wondered how JungMin would take what he just did, or if he would just stay curled up on the bed.
Both choices amused him.
"Oh, you trick me into following after you, but take up the whole bed?" JungMin huffed from the doorway, closing the door behind him and coming to stand at the foot of the bed. "Am I not invited?"
Smirking into the pillow, HyunJoong schooled his expression and rolled over before sitting up, blanket pooling around his waist. "Who said I tricked you?" he mused. "And besides, you seemed so comfortable in there," he sniffed, looking annoyed.
"I was comfortable because you were there, in my arms, and I didn't feel like moving," JungMin said, crossing his arms. "And you sure are acting jealous when I wasn't the one kissing YoungSaeng."
"Not jealous..." Taking a moment, HyunJoong sighed, falling back again. "I just wanted to spend time with you alone, and I know that YoungSaeng wanted the same," he replied, flushing slightly at the admission.
"Alone time? I thought we were taking a nap," JungMin raised a brow. Climbing up onto the bed, he moved to sit down on HyunJoong's lap, straddling his waist. "Unless you really did want more, but I'm not sure if that's going to be possible, I don't have limitless stamina you know."
"I really wasn't expecting more than sleeping like I said," HyunJoong replied, running a hand down JungMin's chest. "I get that I'm probably being too clingy or whatever, but I really enjoy when it's just us." Sighing, he looked away. "If you want to go back, it's fine."
"Why would I go back? You're here," JungMin said, blinking down at him. He leaned down, taking HyunJoong's chin with his thumb and finger, turning HyunJoong to face him. "I only want to be with you, wherever it is you are."
HyunJoong smiled at what JungMin had said. "How you put up with me is beyond my understanding sometimes," he murmured before lightly bringing JungMin down for a kiss.
Returning the kiss, JungMin ran his hand back into HyunJoong's hair, curling his fingers lightly into the locks. "Don't sell yourself so short," he said around the kiss. "You put up with me far more graciously than anyone should." Pulling back, he stared into HyunJoong's eyes. "Thank you, Hyun, and I mean that."
Still smiling, HyunJoong pulled JungMin down and rearranged the blanket so it covered both of them. "I love you and you're welcome. Now I wanna sleep," he replied before relaxing again.
It was refreshing to get that out, but he just felt so horrible. He didn't remember being so clingy, but maybe it was because he'd never been in love before.
Curling up around HyunJoong, JungMin watched the other man for a moment, frowning. That conversation didn't do much to appease JungMin's mind. Something was bothering HyunJoong, but he didn't know what it was. Had he really enjoyed what had just happened? Or was he lying to spare JungMin's feeling? Sighing inwardly, JungMin rested his head against HyunJoong's and closed his eyes. He wasn't tired anymore, but it was a good chance to sort out some things in his mind.
HyunJoong simply laid there for awhile. He was exhausted, but something was keeping him up. He felt awful for acting the way he was, and he knew that it all came back to him. The foremost thought was why he was so needy all of a sudden. While it had been odd, what happened earlier was something that really didn't bother him, and the last person he felt jealous of was YoungSaeng, or even KyuJong since JungMin had taken the time to reassure him about their relationship.
So what was going on then? Something felt off, but he couldn't even begin to figure it out.
"JungMin?" he whispered. "Min, are you still awake?"
"Hm? Yes?" JungMin's eyes opened. "I'm awake," he nodded, cuddling closer to HyunJoong.
Thinking about what he wanted to say, HyunJoong let out a breath. "Do you feel anything off within the last few days?" he asked quietly.
"What do you mean? Off like what?" JungMin asked, frowning slightly at the question.
"It's not like our village. I mean, I don't really know..." HyunJoong replied. "I think it's part of why I'm acting like this." Looking up at the ceiling, HyunJoong continued. "It's like, if I let go, something bad's gonna happen somehow..."
Frowning, JungMin listened to what he was saying. It reminded him of what had happened earlier in town with KyuJong, that odd presence. He wondered if that was connected. "Maybe we should talk to Kyu about this," JungMin said lightly. "This is not my area of expertise here."
"Maybe we should, but not now. We all need our rest," HyunJoong said, feeling the exhaustion catching up to him.
JungMin sighed, running his hand through HyunJoong's hair. "Okay, but first thing tomorrow, I want you to talk to Kyu," he said, kissing HyunJoong again. "Get some rest, I'm sure we'll be having another fun dinner tonight."
"You, too. Maybe with the sleep, I'll be able to figure out what's going on, or at least better be able to explain it," HyunJoong said, curling up against JungMin.
"Hope so," JungMin smiled, closing his eyes and settling in for sleep, his grip on HyunJoong a bit tighter than before.
---------------------
With a yawn, YoungSaeng woke up slowly. With a small kiss or two to KyuJong's chest, he opened his eyes and looked up, brushing KyuJong's hair out of his face.
Smiling slightly as the fingers against his face woke him up, KyuJong caught one of the hands and brought it up to kiss YoungSaeng's fingers. "Hey," he said, not opening his eyes and burrowing further against YoungSaeng.
Laughing lightly at KyuJong's actions, YoungSaeng kissed his cheek and pushed himself up a bit, brushing his own bangs out of his face and tucking them behind his ear. "Sleep well?"
"Very well, did you?" KyuJong smiled, opening up his eyes to look into YoungSaeng's. He leaned forward to give YoungSaeng a kiss.
Sinking back into the kiss, YoungSaeng smiled. "I did," he replied quietly. He felt wide awake for the first time in a while, the exhaustion that had been weighing them down lessened considerably.
"Good to hear," KyuJong smiled, running a hand through YoungSaeng's hair as he kissed YoungSaeng again and rolled them slightly so he was more or less on top of the older man. "I was afraid earlier had worn you out you'd sleep all night," he chuckled, placing a kiss on his lips and his cheek then down his neck.
Slowly wrapping his arms around KyuJong's neck, YoungSaeng allowed KyuJong to have his way. Oh, that's exactly why I fell asleep immediately," he chuckled breathlessly.
"Same," KyuJong smiled, worrying at a bit of skin on YoungSaeng's neck with his lips and tongue. "But, worth it, I think?" he asked, peering up at YoungSaeng as he slid further down to kiss the man's chest.
"I think that you and JungMin were a bit too excited by earlier," YoungSaeng chuckled. It was clear in his tone that he really hadn't minded since it was HyunJoong, and that it was just a kiss...or two.
Continuing the kisses down YoungSaeng's chest, KyuJong smiled up at him. "Well it's not everyday you get to see your lover making out with someone because you asked them too. Did you not enjoy it?"
"Surprisingly yes, but I would much rather kiss you," YoungSaeng replied, breath catching as KyuJong's lips met with a sensitive spot on his chest.
"Agreed," KyuJong smiled, scraping his teeth down the ridge of bone that was YoungSaeng's ribs. "But I wouldn't say no to watching that again. In the future, of course, not anytime soon. I'd rather have you all to myself for the time being."
YoungSaeng's eyes fluttered closed as KyuJong's teeth ran over his ribs. "Well, you got me," he said quietly, hands moving to massage his shoulders.
"I do don't I?" KyuJong smiled, sliding further down YoungSaeng's body to settle between the man's knees. "Nothing more enjoyable to me than having you, all of you," KyuJong murmured, pressing kisses up YoungSaeng's thigh.
A quiet mewl escaped when KyuJong began running kisses up his thigh, leg sliding up a bit at the touches. "Agreed," he murmured, quoting KyuJong's earlier statement.
"Curious though," KyuJong said, running his hand up and down YoungSaeng's thigh. "You know one of my dirty little secrets," he said, blowing on a wet patch of skin just shy of YoungSaeng's groin. "There anything you want to try?"
YoungSaeng let out a loud moan. "D-dunno. I suppose we'll have to experiment a bit and see," he replied before pausing. "M-maybe sometime soon we can try what you suggested before. T-the switching, I mean."
"Oh?" KyuJong smiled, moving up a bit farther. "That could be very fun," he murmured, taking YoungSaeng in hand and gently stroking. "You know, we've got the rest of the afternoon and the night to ourselves. I'm always open to experimenting," KyuJong smiled before ducking his head down.
----------------------------
It was still dark when HyunJoong woke up. Looking around the room, he had to sigh as he rubbed his eyes. He hadn't slept very well, his thoughts running a mile a minute. Pushing it to the back of his mind until they were able to talk to KyuJong, he rolled over and looked at JungMin.
Running fingers lightly over his cheek, HyunJoong prayed that he was imagining things. He couldn't lose this.
"Can't sleep?" JungMin murmured, wrapping his arm around HyunJoong's waist. He hadn't slept at all, just content to lay next to the other man.
Smiling crookedly, HyunJoong shook his head. "I got a little," he answered quietly, voice still thick with sleep. "Did you get any sleep?"
"No, I wasn't that tired after all," JungMin said, opening his eyes and looking at him. "You okay?"
Pausing, HyunJoong sighed, shaking his head again. "Maybe I'm making too much out of this. I mean, it's been so hectic..."
"I know, it's been a rough couple of weeks for us all," JungMin nodded, his lips pursed. "Let's try not to think about it okay? We'll be leaving here in a couple days and heading to Kyu's temple, then we'll get all this finally sorted out. We just need to keep our heads until then."
Listening to JungMin, HyunJoong smiled and nodded. Only a few more days and they would be okay. Deciding to do as JungMin suggested, he leaned forward and brushed his lips over the redhead's shoulder. "I wonder what else there is to think about..." he mused, trailing off, tone light and playful.
"Plenty, if you like thinking," JungMin mused, running his hand through HyunJoong's hair. "I'm more of a man of action than thinking, I leave that to other people."
"Thinking's highly overrated anyway," HyunJoong chuckled against JungMin's skin before turning up and bringing their lips together.
"See? That's why I like you," JungMin grinned, returning the kiss and slowly rolling them both over. The older man pinned under him, he continued and deepened the kiss, wanting to distract HyunJoong from whatever odd feeling he'd been having. He could do that much at least.
"And here I thought it was because of my body...apparently it's because I don't like thinking," HyunJoong chuckled, a sound that was quickly overtaken by a moan as JungMin deepened the kiss, rolling them over until HyunJoong was pinned to the bed, his lover's firm body pressed against him.
"I like everything about you," JungMin murmured around the kiss, nipping at HyunJoong's bottom lip. Settling his knees between HyunJoong's legs, he reached under the man and bodily hauled him up so the man was in his lap. "You going to fault me for that?"
HyunJoong let out a startled gasp as he was suddenly lifted up and placed in JungMin's lap. A moment later, he grinned before leaning forward again. "Not a chance," he responded before returning to JungMin's lips.
Continuing the fiery kiss, JungMin's hands were roaming around HyunJoong's body, seeking out those points that would bring out the cries from his lover that he loved to hear. "You know we're probably not leaving this bed tonight," JungMin murmured, dropping his head down to HyunJoong's chest.
JungMin's exploring hands indeed brought about their desired reaction, HyunJoong's body responding to JungMin's touch. He swallowed deeply, quiet sounds falling from his lips before he nodded his head slightly and placed a kiss to JungMin's head. "I would hope not."
Grinning around the patch of skin he was marking, JungMin dragged his fingernails down HyunJoong's back. "So, since I got what I want earlier, how about you dictate what happens now," he said, finding another spot to mark. "Anything you want."
Breath and pulse quickening, HyunJoong thought on it. "I just want you...I don't want to think about anything but you," he replied before slipping from JungMin's lap, yet remaining in the man's arms. "Do you think that you're up for the challenge?"
Nodding, JungMin brushed back HyunJoong's bangs and smiled. "Not much of a challenge if you ask me," he murmured, leaning in to kiss his neck.
"I'm not feeling much up to challenges right now," HyunJoong said, head falling to give JungMin more access. He just wanted JungMin when it was only the two of them with no one else to interrupt.
Frowning, JungMin pulled back and held HyunJoong's face in his hands. "You're going to have to make a decision here, because I'm kind of getting mixed signals," he said. "You want me to keep you distracted but you pull away. You say you want to know what I like, but all I want is to please you. I don't know what you want from me right now HyunJoong."
HyunJoong averted his eyes at JungMin's words. "I don't think I know what I want right now. I know that I want you and I want to protect my friend." He paused. "Goddammit, this is all so much to deal with...how the hell do you do it?"
Sitting back, JungMin considered HyunJoong for a moment. "I do it because I have to," he said firmly. "KyuJong and HyungJoon depended on me with their lives, and I couldn't fall apart at every little thing that came my way. Yes, this has been a lot for you to deal with, but how do you think YoungSaeng is feeling right now?"
"YoungSaeng's always been the stronger one of us," HyunJoong finally replied, smiling wistfully. "He doesn't act like it sometimes, but it's true." Shifting again, he curled up a bit, resting his head on his knees. "Sorry for being such a damn mess right now. I know Saeng is probably freaking out even more than I am..." he sighed.
JungMin sighed, rubbing at his forehead. "Look, I think you just need some perspective here," he said quietly. "You worry so much about things that are out of your control, and let it build up inside. Now I promised to take care of you and keep you safe, but that doesn't come at my expense. If I'm spending all my time making sure you're not falling apart, then I'm not going to see the real dangers coming up behind us."
Straightening a bit as JungMin spoke, HyunJoong nodded his head in understanding. It made such perfect sense when spoken to him that he wanted to hit himself for not realizing it. He was a bystander, barely able to fight but learning to remedy that. He had no control over the Formless One's actions or anything related to the goings on.
Panicking and worrying would just get them killed.
"...Sorry...I'm an idiot," he sighed, running a hand through his messy hair. "You're right."
"You're not an idiot, just not used to any of this," JungMin said. "And I'm always right." Drawing the man back into his lap, JungMin cradled him in his arms, kissing the side of his head and shoulders. "Feel better now?"
"Yeah," HyunJoong replied, letting JungMin pull him back into his lap. "And you are not always right," he said with a small smile before wrapping his arms around the man. "Thanks, Min ah," he murmured after a minute of silence.
"You're welcome," JungMin smiled, burying his nose in HyunJoong's hair. "And I am too always right."
"Not," he smirked, poking JungMin in the ribs lightly.
"You better watch it or I'm dumping you onto the floor," JungMin said, swatting HyunJoong on the ass before rolling him off his lap.
Yelping at the swat, HyunJoong pouted. "I'm just being honest with you, Min," he pointed out as he was rolled off of JungMin's lap.
"Says you," JungMin snorted, flipping HyunJoong over onto his belly and sprawling out on top of him. "I think, you just enjoy getting a rise out of me," JungMin whispered in his ear.
"Yes, says me," HyunJoong remarked, the end of the sentence muffled as he was moved onto his stomach, JungMin pressed against his back. "Well, it doesn't take much, now does it?" he taunted, rolling his hips back just right.
Hissing slightly at how HyunJoong's hips rolled against him, JungMin took both of HyunJoong's wrists and held them up over his head. "You saying I have a short temper or something?" he asked, scraping his teeth along HyunJoong's shoulder.
HyunJoong's breath caught as JungMin's teeth ran over his shoulder, his hands held immobile above his head. "Do you want examples?" he asked, voice low and deep.
"Unnecessary," JungMin grumbled into the skin he was worrying at. "I just know you're lying so I'll keep doing more of this."
"Like I'd stop you," HyunJoong started, but it just came out as a loud moan as JungMin went about marking him. He continued to roll back into JungMin since he was unable to touch him with his hands.
"You have before," JungMin said, finding a spot on his neck to clamp his mouth down around.
Gasping, HyunJoong began struggling lightly, body reacting to JungMin as it did every time. "Temporary insanity," he murmured, continuing to squirm around.
JungMin had to laugh at that as he pulled back slightly from HyunJoong's neck. "Not really, but thanks for trying," he chuckled, running his tongue over the shell of HyunJoong's ear. "But do you really want to know what it is I want?"
At the feel of JungMin's tongue against the shell of his ear, HyunJoong sighed and closed his eyes, but made sure to remain alert enough to hear what JungMin had to say. "Hmmm..."
Pulling back completely and letting go of HyunJoong's hands, JungMin flipped the man over onto his back again. "I want to watch you get yourself off," he said, lifting up HyunJoong's legs and pressing his chest against the back of his thighs while he slowly thrust into him.
HyunJoong's mouth fell opened as he was flipped onto his back and his wrists let go right before JungMin entered him. No sound came out, his breath having caught at the act. His hands quickly moved, one twining in JungMin's hair and the other clutching his side.
Hands firmly pressed into the mattress to either side of HyunJoong's hips, JungMin slowly rolled his hips until HyunJoong was ready before he began to slide in and out of him. He watched the man's facial expressions though lidded eyes, groaning each time he pressed into the man. "Hyun... do it," he gasped.
Mewling quietly at both JungMin's movements and the sound if his voice, HyunJoong paused before allowing the hand on JungMin's side to slide off. Running it down the man's body, he slowly brought it to his own hardness, moaning loudly as he gripped himself.
Meeting JungMin's thrusts, he tried to match his own rhythm with JungMin's, but was unable to, which only served to enhance the feelings going through his body. "M-Min..." he panted, feeling himself get closer.
Increasing the pace of his hips, JungMin groaned as he watched HyunJoong. "Gods... Hyun..." he grunted with the exertion, getting close to that point of release with each thrust. He tipped forward more, spreading HyunJoong's legs further apart with his hands as the thrusts went deeper in the man's body.
HyunJoong cried out as JungMin pressed deeper into him, pace quickening. Body trembling, he continued stroking himself, rhythm becoming harder to control the closer he came to release.
He let out a curt cry as the redhead struck that spot within him, drawing an even bigger reaction when he gripped himself tighter at the suddenness of the pleasure it brought.
Watching in fascination through hazy eyes, JungMin continued thrusting into him, slamming his hips against HyunJoong's until he wasn't able to hold back any longer. Crying out, JungMin's entire body convulsed as the orgasm ripped through him. The last few thrusts were languid, continuing against HyunJoong until the other man was finished.
Feeling JungMin release, HyunJoong was unable to hold out any longer, following right behind. His body shook from both the fierce orgasm as well as JungMin's continuing movements. Burying his face in JungMin's chest, HyunJoong ran his lips over the area, mouth latching on to a few spots as he rode out the high he was on.
Catching his breath, JungMin ran a hand over HyunJoong's hair as he slowly pulled away and settled down next to him. He slung an arm over HyunJoong's chest and laid down half on top of him, nuzzling his nose into the man's neck. "That just gets better and better," he panted.
"Agreed," HyunJoong replied breathlessly, unable to form much coherent thought. Feeling JungMin partially draped over him, he smiled and curled an arm around his neck, fingers playing casually with his hair.
"You feeling better?" JungMin murmured, kissing along the man's neck.
"Calmer," HyunJoong murmured, shuddering at the touch."Still worried, but I have more control over it."
"Good, I'm glad," JungMin smiled. "What did you want to do now? Go back to sleep?"
"Dunno if I can," HyunJoong sighed, curling into the warmth of the other's body. "I don't want to move, though. What time do you think it is?"
"Probably a little after dusk," JungMin said, shifting so he could gather the other man up in his arms and hold him. "I'd say I was surprised we weren't called for dinner, but we were all being a little loud earlier, probably didn't want to disturb us."
"I tried, for the record," HyunJoong chuckled, placing a few kisses to JungMin's shoulder. A moment later, he looked up. "Hey Min, should I still tell KyuJong about earlier?" he asked after a bit of thought.
"Earlier?" JungMin blinked, his mind was still in a fugue state. "You mean your feeling? Yes, you definitely should tell KyuJong. Did you want to go see if they were up?"
Thinking about it, HyunJoong shook his head before closing his eyes and resting his head on JungMin's shoulder. "In a bit. I want to stay like this for a bit longer."
"Okay, we can wait a bit," JungMin smiled, nuzzling against him. "I should warn you though, if we lounge awake like this for too long I won't be able to keep my hands to myself."
HyunJoong chuckled, sound a bit muffled. "As if you can anyway, and I never mind your wandering hands," he pointed out with a smirk.
"That's good, would be awkward otherwise," JungMin chuckled, kissing the side of his head. "At the least you'll get a twenty minute buffer, give or take. So you'll have to decide whether or not you want more in the next half hour."
HyunJoong made a show of thinking about it. "How about this? We check on them, and if they aren't up, we go with plan B," he suggested with a grin as he looked up at JungMin.
"I do like the way you think," JungMin nodded, leaning down to give him a kiss. "Just let me know when you want to go," he said, yawning and nuzzling against him again.
"Five or so minutes sounds good to me..." HyunJoong murmured, finally able to relax. He just hoped that KyuJong would have an idea of what to do to get rid of the heavy feeling weighing him down.
"Five minutes then," JungMin nodded, running his hand up and down HyunJoong's back.

Nestled up against YoungSaeng's back, KyuJong reached over to turn the man's face towards him. Smiling softly, he ran a thumb over his cheek. "You okay?" he whispered.
YoungSaeng smiled as KyuJong's thumb ran over his cheek. "Surprisingly, yes," he replied quietly.
"Good," KyuJong returned the smile and leaned in to kiss him. "Because that was, very enjoyable," he murmured around his lips.
"I'm so glad that you enjoyed yourself," YoungSaeng whispered against KyuJong's lips before returning for more.
HyunJoong had to smile as the two. It was just so nice to see YoungSaeng so open and happy.
Shifting and rolling YoungSaeng onto his back, KyuJong continued the kiss, content to just hold him like this and kiss him for a while.
Turning his eyes away from KyuJong and YoungSaeng, JungMin tilted HyunJoong's face toward him and smiled. "And you? Did you enjoy yourself?" he asked quietly.
Looking up at JungMin, HyunJoong pouted. "Two on one is not fair..." he huffed, pulling his lover closer.
Laughing, JungMin tickled HyunJoong's side lightly. "No, it usually isn't, but it's still enjoyable, especially if it's with people you trust."
HyunJoong laughed quietly. "Glad you had so much fun watching, you voyeur."
"Hey, you were the one who was curious about what I was in to, no trying to make fun of me," JungMin said, poking him in the belly.
"Okay fine, I'll give you that," HyunJoong conceded, nudging him back as he bit down the laugh bubbling up at the poke.
"So, nap time?" JungMin murmured, settling down against HyunJoong and hugging him tightly.
"Nap time," HyunJoong agreed. It had been such an odd day, but he couldn't say that he regretted anything. Nothing had changed between YoungSaeng and himself, and nothing seemed to change between either couple, either.
"Excuse me," JungMin said, reaching over to poke KyuJong in the shoulder. "We're going to take a nap now," he said when KyuJong looked up at him.
"Okay?" KyuJong blinked.
"That's going to be hard to do with you two making out," JungMin said, wrapping the edge of the blanket over himself and HyunJoong.
"This is our bed," KyuJong blinked again, looking down at YoungSaeng and then back up at JungMin. "I don't think we're all going to fit."
"Sure we will," JungMin rolled his eyes, laying down and ceasing to pay KyuJong any attention.
KyuJong looked down at YoungSaeng, smiling as he leaned in for another kiss. "So I guess it's nap time."
HyunJoong and YoungSaeng both laughed at the two. After a minute, HyunJoong nudged JungMin playfully. "Come on, Min, don't be lazy. We can go to our room."
"That would require getting up and dressed," JungMin sniffed, not budging.
"It's fine, you two can stay if he's going to be that stubborn," KyuJong said, rolling his eyes and settling against YoungSaeng. "I doubt we'll be able to sleep for long though."
Looking at KyuJong and YoungSaeng, HyunJoong winked before slipping out of JungMin's arms and climbing out of bed. Slipping into his pants, he ignored his shirt and headed to the door.
"Well I think I need a bit of room to move around and perhaps for other reasons. Feel free to join me, JungMin, because you still owe me some one on one time after the nap."
With a teasing yet seductive look at JungMin, HyunJoong walked out of the room, trying his damnedest not to laugh.
YoungSaeng, however, had no such problem, yet buried his head in KyuJong's shoulder to muffle his laughter at his friend's antics.
Pouting when HyunJoong got up, JungMin stayed curled up in the blankets and watched him go. He looked up at YoungSaeng and KyuJong, blinking. "What just happened?"
"HyunJoong wants more, are you going to refuse?" KyuJong chuckled, then laughed as JungMin unrolled from the blankets and hopped to his feet, barely getting his pants up before he was running out the door after HyunJoong, closing the door behind him.
Removing the pants again, HyunJoong climbed into bed and laid down, stretched out across the bed. It felt good to be all stretched out with the room to move. While he loved sleeping with JungMin in both senses, he didn't mind having the amount of room he did until his lover showed up.
He wondered how JungMin would take what he just did, or if he would just stay curled up on the bed.
Both choices amused him.
"Oh, you trick me into following after you, but take up the whole bed?" JungMin huffed from the doorway, closing the door behind him and coming to stand at the foot of the bed. "Am I not invited?"
Smirking into the pillow, HyunJoong schooled his expression and rolled over before sitting up, blanket pooling around his waist. "Who said I tricked you?" he mused. "And besides, you seemed so comfortable in there," he sniffed, looking annoyed.
"I was comfortable because you were there, in my arms, and I didn't feel like moving," JungMin said, crossing his arms. "And you sure are acting jealous when I wasn't the one kissing YoungSaeng."
"Not jealous..." Taking a moment, HyunJoong sighed, falling back again. "I just wanted to spend time with you alone, and I know that YoungSaeng wanted the same," he replied, flushing slightly at the admission.
"Alone time? I thought we were taking a nap," JungMin raised a brow. Climbing up onto the bed, he moved to sit down on HyunJoong's lap, straddling his waist. "Unless you really did want more, but I'm not sure if that's going to be possible, I don't have limitless stamina you know."
"I really wasn't expecting more than sleeping like I said," HyunJoong replied, running a hand down JungMin's chest. "I get that I'm probably being too clingy or whatever, but I really enjoy when it's just us." Sighing, he looked away. "If you want to go back, it's fine."
"Why would I go back? You're here," JungMin said, blinking down at him. He leaned down, taking HyunJoong's chin with his thumb and finger, turning HyunJoong to face him. "I only want to be with you, wherever it is you are."
HyunJoong smiled at what JungMin had said. "How you put up with me is beyond my understanding sometimes," he murmured before lightly bringing JungMin down for a kiss.
Returning the kiss, JungMin ran his hand back into HyunJoong's hair, curling his fingers lightly into the locks. "Don't sell yourself so short," he said around the kiss. "You put up with me far more graciously than anyone should." Pulling back, he stared into HyunJoong's eyes. "Thank you, Hyun, and I mean that."
Still smiling, HyunJoong pulled JungMin down and rearranged the blanket so it covered both of them. "I love you and you're welcome. Now I wanna sleep," he replied before relaxing again.
It was refreshing to get that out, but he just felt so horrible. He didn't remember being so clingy, but maybe it was because he'd never been in love before.
Curling up around HyunJoong, JungMin watched the other man for a moment, frowning. That conversation didn't do much to appease JungMin's mind. Something was bothering HyunJoong, but he didn't know what it was. Had he really enjoyed what had just happened? Or was he lying to spare JungMin's feeling? Sighing inwardly, JungMin rested his head against HyunJoong's and closed his eyes. He wasn't tired anymore, but it was a good chance to sort out some things in his mind.
HyunJoong simply laid there for awhile. He was exhausted, but something was keeping him up. He felt awful for acting the way he was, and he knew that it all came back to him. The foremost thought was why he was so needy all of a sudden. While it had been odd, what happened earlier was something that really didn't bother him, and the last person he felt jealous of was YoungSaeng, or even KyuJong since JungMin had taken the time to reassure him about their relationship.
So what was going on then? Something felt off, but he couldn't even begin to figure it out.
"JungMin?" he whispered. "Min, are you still awake?"
"Hm? Yes?" JungMin's eyes opened. "I'm awake," he nodded, cuddling closer to HyunJoong.
Thinking about what he wanted to say, HyunJoong let out a breath. "Do you feel anything off within the last few days?" he asked quietly.
"What do you mean? Off like what?" JungMin asked, frowning slightly at the question.
"It's not like our village. I mean, I don't really know..." HyunJoong replied. "I think it's part of why I'm acting like this." Looking up at the ceiling, HyunJoong continued. "It's like, if I let go, something bad's gonna happen somehow..."
Frowning, JungMin listened to what he was saying. It reminded him of what had happened earlier in town with KyuJong, that odd presence. He wondered if that was connected. "Maybe we should talk to Kyu about this," JungMin said lightly. "This is not my area of expertise here."
"Maybe we should, but not now. We all need our rest," HyunJoong said, feeling the exhaustion catching up to him.
JungMin sighed, running his hand through HyunJoong's hair. "Okay, but first thing tomorrow, I want you to talk to Kyu," he said, kissing HyunJoong again. "Get some rest, I'm sure we'll be having another fun dinner tonight."
"You, too. Maybe with the sleep, I'll be able to figure out what's going on, or at least better be able to explain it," HyunJoong said, curling up against JungMin.
"Hope so," JungMin smiled, closing his eyes and settling in for sleep, his grip on HyunJoong a bit tighter than before.
---------------------
With a yawn, YoungSaeng woke up slowly. With a small kiss or two to KyuJong's chest, he opened his eyes and looked up, brushing KyuJong's hair out of his face.
Smiling slightly as the fingers against his face woke him up, KyuJong caught one of the hands and brought it up to kiss YoungSaeng's fingers. "Hey," he said, not opening his eyes and burrowing further against YoungSaeng.
Laughing lightly at KyuJong's actions, YoungSaeng kissed his cheek and pushed himself up a bit, brushing his own bangs out of his face and tucking them behind his ear. "Sleep well?"
"Very well, did you?" KyuJong smiled, opening up his eyes to look into YoungSaeng's. He leaned forward to give YoungSaeng a kiss.
Sinking back into the kiss, YoungSaeng smiled. "I did," he replied quietly. He felt wide awake for the first time in a while, the exhaustion that had been weighing them down lessened considerably.
"Good to hear," KyuJong smiled, running a hand through YoungSaeng's hair as he kissed YoungSaeng again and rolled them slightly so he was more or less on top of the older man. "I was afraid earlier had worn you out you'd sleep all night," he chuckled, placing a kiss on his lips and his cheek then down his neck.
Slowly wrapping his arms around KyuJong's neck, YoungSaeng allowed KyuJong to have his way. Oh, that's exactly why I fell asleep immediately," he chuckled breathlessly.
"Same," KyuJong smiled, worrying at a bit of skin on YoungSaeng's neck with his lips and tongue. "But, worth it, I think?" he asked, peering up at YoungSaeng as he slid further down to kiss the man's chest.
"I think that you and JungMin were a bit too excited by earlier," YoungSaeng chuckled. It was clear in his tone that he really hadn't minded since it was HyunJoong, and that it was just a kiss...or two.
Continuing the kisses down YoungSaeng's chest, KyuJong smiled up at him. "Well it's not everyday you get to see your lover making out with someone because you asked them too. Did you not enjoy it?"
"Surprisingly yes, but I would much rather kiss you," YoungSaeng replied, breath catching as KyuJong's lips met with a sensitive spot on his chest.
"Agreed," KyuJong smiled, scraping his teeth down the ridge of bone that was YoungSaeng's ribs. "But I wouldn't say no to watching that again. In the future, of course, not anytime soon. I'd rather have you all to myself for the time being."
YoungSaeng's eyes fluttered closed as KyuJong's teeth ran over his ribs. "Well, you got me," he said quietly, hands moving to massage his shoulders.
"I do don't I?" KyuJong smiled, sliding further down YoungSaeng's body to settle between the man's knees. "Nothing more enjoyable to me than having you, all of you," KyuJong murmured, pressing kisses up YoungSaeng's thigh.
A quiet mewl escaped when KyuJong began running kisses up his thigh, leg sliding up a bit at the touches. "Agreed," he murmured, quoting KyuJong's earlier statement.
"Curious though," KyuJong said, running his hand up and down YoungSaeng's thigh. "You know one of my dirty little secrets," he said, blowing on a wet patch of skin just shy of YoungSaeng's groin. "There anything you want to try?"
YoungSaeng let out a loud moan. "D-dunno. I suppose we'll have to experiment a bit and see," he replied before pausing. "M-maybe sometime soon we can try what you suggested before. T-the switching, I mean."
"Oh?" KyuJong smiled, moving up a bit farther. "That could be very fun," he murmured, taking YoungSaeng in hand and gently stroking. "You know, we've got the rest of the afternoon and the night to ourselves. I'm always open to experimenting," KyuJong smiled before ducking his head down.
----------------------------
It was still dark when HyunJoong woke up. Looking around the room, he had to sigh as he rubbed his eyes. He hadn't slept very well, his thoughts running a mile a minute. Pushing it to the back of his mind until they were able to talk to KyuJong, he rolled over and looked at JungMin.
Running fingers lightly over his cheek, HyunJoong prayed that he was imagining things. He couldn't lose this.
"Can't sleep?" JungMin murmured, wrapping his arm around HyunJoong's waist. He hadn't slept at all, just content to lay next to the other man.
Smiling crookedly, HyunJoong shook his head. "I got a little," he answered quietly, voice still thick with sleep. "Did you get any sleep?"
"No, I wasn't that tired after all," JungMin said, opening his eyes and looking at him. "You okay?"
Pausing, HyunJoong sighed, shaking his head again. "Maybe I'm making too much out of this. I mean, it's been so hectic..."
"I know, it's been a rough couple of weeks for us all," JungMin nodded, his lips pursed. "Let's try not to think about it okay? We'll be leaving here in a couple days and heading to Kyu's temple, then we'll get all this finally sorted out. We just need to keep our heads until then."
Listening to JungMin, HyunJoong smiled and nodded. Only a few more days and they would be okay. Deciding to do as JungMin suggested, he leaned forward and brushed his lips over the redhead's shoulder. "I wonder what else there is to think about..." he mused, trailing off, tone light and playful.
"Plenty, if you like thinking," JungMin mused, running his hand through HyunJoong's hair. "I'm more of a man of action than thinking, I leave that to other people."
"Thinking's highly overrated anyway," HyunJoong chuckled against JungMin's skin before turning up and bringing their lips together.
"See? That's why I like you," JungMin grinned, returning the kiss and slowly rolling them both over. The older man pinned under him, he continued and deepened the kiss, wanting to distract HyunJoong from whatever odd feeling he'd been having. He could do that much at least.
"And here I thought it was because of my body...apparently it's because I don't like thinking," HyunJoong chuckled, a sound that was quickly overtaken by a moan as JungMin deepened the kiss, rolling them over until HyunJoong was pinned to the bed, his lover's firm body pressed against him.
"I like everything about you," JungMin murmured around the kiss, nipping at HyunJoong's bottom lip. Settling his knees between HyunJoong's legs, he reached under the man and bodily hauled him up so the man was in his lap. "You going to fault me for that?"
HyunJoong let out a startled gasp as he was suddenly lifted up and placed in JungMin's lap. A moment later, he grinned before leaning forward again. "Not a chance," he responded before returning to JungMin's lips.
Continuing the fiery kiss, JungMin's hands were roaming around HyunJoong's body, seeking out those points that would bring out the cries from his lover that he loved to hear. "You know we're probably not leaving this bed tonight," JungMin murmured, dropping his head down to HyunJoong's chest.
JungMin's exploring hands indeed brought about their desired reaction, HyunJoong's body responding to JungMin's touch. He swallowed deeply, quiet sounds falling from his lips before he nodded his head slightly and placed a kiss to JungMin's head. "I would hope not."
Grinning around the patch of skin he was marking, JungMin dragged his fingernails down HyunJoong's back. "So, since I got what I want earlier, how about you dictate what happens now," he said, finding another spot to mark. "Anything you want."
Breath and pulse quickening, HyunJoong thought on it. "I just want you...I don't want to think about anything but you," he replied before slipping from JungMin's lap, yet remaining in the man's arms. "Do you think that you're up for the challenge?"
Nodding, JungMin brushed back HyunJoong's bangs and smiled. "Not much of a challenge if you ask me," he murmured, leaning in to kiss his neck.
"I'm not feeling much up to challenges right now," HyunJoong said, head falling to give JungMin more access. He just wanted JungMin when it was only the two of them with no one else to interrupt.
Frowning, JungMin pulled back and held HyunJoong's face in his hands. "You're going to have to make a decision here, because I'm kind of getting mixed signals," he said. "You want me to keep you distracted but you pull away. You say you want to know what I like, but all I want is to please you. I don't know what you want from me right now HyunJoong."
HyunJoong averted his eyes at JungMin's words. "I don't think I know what I want right now. I know that I want you and I want to protect my friend." He paused. "Goddammit, this is all so much to deal with...how the hell do you do it?"
Sitting back, JungMin considered HyunJoong for a moment. "I do it because I have to," he said firmly. "KyuJong and HyungJoon depended on me with their lives, and I couldn't fall apart at every little thing that came my way. Yes, this has been a lot for you to deal with, but how do you think YoungSaeng is feeling right now?"
"YoungSaeng's always been the stronger one of us," HyunJoong finally replied, smiling wistfully. "He doesn't act like it sometimes, but it's true." Shifting again, he curled up a bit, resting his head on his knees. "Sorry for being such a damn mess right now. I know Saeng is probably freaking out even more than I am..." he sighed.
JungMin sighed, rubbing at his forehead. "Look, I think you just need some perspective here," he said quietly. "You worry so much about things that are out of your control, and let it build up inside. Now I promised to take care of you and keep you safe, but that doesn't come at my expense. If I'm spending all my time making sure you're not falling apart, then I'm not going to see the real dangers coming up behind us."
Straightening a bit as JungMin spoke, HyunJoong nodded his head in understanding. It made such perfect sense when spoken to him that he wanted to hit himself for not realizing it. He was a bystander, barely able to fight but learning to remedy that. He had no control over the Formless One's actions or anything related to the goings on.
Panicking and worrying would just get them killed.
"...Sorry...I'm an idiot," he sighed, running a hand through his messy hair. "You're right."
"You're not an idiot, just not used to any of this," JungMin said. "And I'm always right." Drawing the man back into his lap, JungMin cradled him in his arms, kissing the side of his head and shoulders. "Feel better now?"
"Yeah," HyunJoong replied, letting JungMin pull him back into his lap. "And you are not always right," he said with a small smile before wrapping his arms around the man. "Thanks, Min ah," he murmured after a minute of silence.
"You're welcome," JungMin smiled, burying his nose in HyunJoong's hair. "And I am too always right."
"Not," he smirked, poking JungMin in the ribs lightly.
"You better watch it or I'm dumping you onto the floor," JungMin said, swatting HyunJoong on the ass before rolling him off his lap.
Yelping at the swat, HyunJoong pouted. "I'm just being honest with you, Min," he pointed out as he was rolled off of JungMin's lap.
"Says you," JungMin snorted, flipping HyunJoong over onto his belly and sprawling out on top of him. "I think, you just enjoy getting a rise out of me," JungMin whispered in his ear.
"Yes, says me," HyunJoong remarked, the end of the sentence muffled as he was moved onto his stomach, JungMin pressed against his back. "Well, it doesn't take much, now does it?" he taunted, rolling his hips back just right.
Hissing slightly at how HyunJoong's hips rolled against him, JungMin took both of HyunJoong's wrists and held them up over his head. "You saying I have a short temper or something?" he asked, scraping his teeth along HyunJoong's shoulder.
HyunJoong's breath caught as JungMin's teeth ran over his shoulder, his hands held immobile above his head. "Do you want examples?" he asked, voice low and deep.
"Unnecessary," JungMin grumbled into the skin he was worrying at. "I just know you're lying so I'll keep doing more of this."
"Like I'd stop you," HyunJoong started, but it just came out as a loud moan as JungMin went about marking him. He continued to roll back into JungMin since he was unable to touch him with his hands.
"You have before," JungMin said, finding a spot on his neck to clamp his mouth down around.
Gasping, HyunJoong began struggling lightly, body reacting to JungMin as it did every time. "Temporary insanity," he murmured, continuing to squirm around.
JungMin had to laugh at that as he pulled back slightly from HyunJoong's neck. "Not really, but thanks for trying," he chuckled, running his tongue over the shell of HyunJoong's ear. "But do you really want to know what it is I want?"
At the feel of JungMin's tongue against the shell of his ear, HyunJoong sighed and closed his eyes, but made sure to remain alert enough to hear what JungMin had to say. "Hmmm..."
Pulling back completely and letting go of HyunJoong's hands, JungMin flipped the man over onto his back again. "I want to watch you get yourself off," he said, lifting up HyunJoong's legs and pressing his chest against the back of his thighs while he slowly thrust into him.
HyunJoong's mouth fell opened as he was flipped onto his back and his wrists let go right before JungMin entered him. No sound came out, his breath having caught at the act. His hands quickly moved, one twining in JungMin's hair and the other clutching his side.
Hands firmly pressed into the mattress to either side of HyunJoong's hips, JungMin slowly rolled his hips until HyunJoong was ready before he began to slide in and out of him. He watched the man's facial expressions though lidded eyes, groaning each time he pressed into the man. "Hyun... do it," he gasped.
Mewling quietly at both JungMin's movements and the sound if his voice, HyunJoong paused before allowing the hand on JungMin's side to slide off. Running it down the man's body, he slowly brought it to his own hardness, moaning loudly as he gripped himself.
Meeting JungMin's thrusts, he tried to match his own rhythm with JungMin's, but was unable to, which only served to enhance the feelings going through his body. "M-Min..." he panted, feeling himself get closer.
Increasing the pace of his hips, JungMin groaned as he watched HyunJoong. "Gods... Hyun..." he grunted with the exertion, getting close to that point of release with each thrust. He tipped forward more, spreading HyunJoong's legs further apart with his hands as the thrusts went deeper in the man's body.
HyunJoong cried out as JungMin pressed deeper into him, pace quickening. Body trembling, he continued stroking himself, rhythm becoming harder to control the closer he came to release.
He let out a curt cry as the redhead struck that spot within him, drawing an even bigger reaction when he gripped himself tighter at the suddenness of the pleasure it brought.
Watching in fascination through hazy eyes, JungMin continued thrusting into him, slamming his hips against HyunJoong's until he wasn't able to hold back any longer. Crying out, JungMin's entire body convulsed as the orgasm ripped through him. The last few thrusts were languid, continuing against HyunJoong until the other man was finished.
Feeling JungMin release, HyunJoong was unable to hold out any longer, following right behind. His body shook from both the fierce orgasm as well as JungMin's continuing movements. Burying his face in JungMin's chest, HyunJoong ran his lips over the area, mouth latching on to a few spots as he rode out the high he was on.
Catching his breath, JungMin ran a hand over HyunJoong's hair as he slowly pulled away and settled down next to him. He slung an arm over HyunJoong's chest and laid down half on top of him, nuzzling his nose into the man's neck. "That just gets better and better," he panted.
"Agreed," HyunJoong replied breathlessly, unable to form much coherent thought. Feeling JungMin partially draped over him, he smiled and curled an arm around his neck, fingers playing casually with his hair.
"You feeling better?" JungMin murmured, kissing along the man's neck.
"Calmer," HyunJoong murmured, shuddering at the touch."Still worried, but I have more control over it."
"Good, I'm glad," JungMin smiled. "What did you want to do now? Go back to sleep?"
"Dunno if I can," HyunJoong sighed, curling into the warmth of the other's body. "I don't want to move, though. What time do you think it is?"
"Probably a little after dusk," JungMin said, shifting so he could gather the other man up in his arms and hold him. "I'd say I was surprised we weren't called for dinner, but we were all being a little loud earlier, probably didn't want to disturb us."
"I tried, for the record," HyunJoong chuckled, placing a few kisses to JungMin's shoulder. A moment later, he looked up. "Hey Min, should I still tell KyuJong about earlier?" he asked after a bit of thought.
"Earlier?" JungMin blinked, his mind was still in a fugue state. "You mean your feeling? Yes, you definitely should tell KyuJong. Did you want to go see if they were up?"
Thinking about it, HyunJoong shook his head before closing his eyes and resting his head on JungMin's shoulder. "In a bit. I want to stay like this for a bit longer."
"Okay, we can wait a bit," JungMin smiled, nuzzling against him. "I should warn you though, if we lounge awake like this for too long I won't be able to keep my hands to myself."
HyunJoong chuckled, sound a bit muffled. "As if you can anyway, and I never mind your wandering hands," he pointed out with a smirk.
"That's good, would be awkward otherwise," JungMin chuckled, kissing the side of his head. "At the least you'll get a twenty minute buffer, give or take. So you'll have to decide whether or not you want more in the next half hour."
HyunJoong made a show of thinking about it. "How about this? We check on them, and if they aren't up, we go with plan B," he suggested with a grin as he looked up at JungMin.
"I do like the way you think," JungMin nodded, leaning down to give him a kiss. "Just let me know when you want to go," he said, yawning and nuzzling against him again.
"Five or so minutes sounds good to me..." HyunJoong murmured, finally able to relax. He just hoped that KyuJong would have an idea of what to do to get rid of the heavy feeling weighing him down.
"Five minutes then," JungMin nodded, running his hand up and down HyunJoong's back.
