The Country Life Diary of a Gangster's Secretary-Chapter 138

After their meals, Lee Hyuk would handle his work, but if Hyesung ever felt cooped up and suggested going for a walk, Lee Hyuk would immediately close his laptop and join him. In short, he was always by Hyesung’s side, except when they were asleep.

"You’re a patient too. You should go rest in your room."

"I’m more worried about you. I’m recovering just fine."

There was no arguing with that. Lee Hyuk’s condition was visibly improving day by day. The fact that he had even regained consciousness so quickly after losing so much blood was remarkable.

Every day, the doctor making rounds seemed increasingly surprised by his rapid recovery. Sungjin had jokingly referred to him as having superhuman strength, and Hyesung was beginning to see that it wasn’t just a figure of speech.

"I’m recovering well too. I shouldn’t even be in the hospital this long."

"You were malnourished, overworked, and covered in bruises. Are you saying that’s not enough to warrant a hospital stay? You know you’ve lost a lot of weight, right?"

Hyesung had a habit of brushing off his own condition, always insisting he was fine, that it wasn’t a big deal. Lee Hyuk knew this about him, but hearing him downplay his health even now made him both angry and sad.

"Hyesung, please, for once, prioritize your own health."

Lee Hyuk sighed in exasperation, and Hyesung responded with a soft, amused laugh.

"What’s so funny?"

"Nothing. It’s just nice to have you worrying about me like this."

As usual, Hyesung’s cheeks flushed with a soft pink. Lee Hyuk’s thigh twitched slightly at the sight. Whether it was because the hospital gown was too big or because Hyesung’s frame was so slender, his delicate neckline was fully exposed.

"Mister, you’re releasing a lot of pheromones right now."

"It’s because I find you so adorable."

"It’s always my fault…"

"Hyesung."

Lee Hyuk, who had been sitting on a chair next to the bed, slowly shifted onto the bed itself. He reached out to caress Hyesung’s cheek, which had now turned the color of a ripe apple.

"The doctor mentioned that being exposed to your partner’s pheromones can help stabilize them when you’re in an unstable condition."

"So you knew… huh?"

Lee Hyuk’s hand moved from Hyesung’s cheek to his jaw and then down to his neck. The sensation of Lee Hyuk’s rough, calloused hand running over his skin made Hyesung shiver with a mix of nervousness and excitement.

"If you knew, then why did you only release your pheromones when I was asleep?"

Lee Hyuk silenced Hyesung by tugging on his lower lip with a gentle bite.

"I told you, I was overthinking everything. And… I didn’t think I could control myself if you were in pain."

"Ah…"

As Lee Hyuk teased Hyesung’s neck, his hand slipped under Hyesung’s shirt, his thumb tracing circles over his chest. Lee Hyuk’s hands were rough, and even a light touch felt incredibly stimulating, like being rubbed with fine sandpaper.

"Hnn… I’m still a patient, you know."

If Lee Hyuk heard Hyesung’s words, he didn’t show it. He playfully pinched the peak of Hyesung’s chest between his fingers, pulling lightly.

"It hurts…"

"My poor Hyesung, should I help you feel better?"

With that, Lee Hyuk swiftly pulled down Hyesung’s pants and underwear in one motion, letting them drop to the floor. In a matter of seconds, he grabbed a towel from the nearby drawer, spread it on the bed, and placed Hyesung on top of it.

"I heard from the doctor."

"Mm…"

"That sometimes, releasing tension like this can help stabilize your pheromones."

Did the doctor really say that? Hyesung couldn’t recall hearing anything like that during his consultation. But he couldn’t focus on that thought for long, as Lee Hyuk suddenly released a wave of his pheromones. The slow-building pleasure that had been simmering within Hyesung suddenly engulfed him, causing his head to fall back in surrender.

"Haa… Mister, wait…"

Lee Hyuk’s touch was unusually gentle, almost agonizingly so. Normally, he was rougher, more intense, but today he seemed to be taking his time, driving Hyesung to the brink of desperation.

The careful, deliberate movements of Lee Hyuk’s hands heightened every sensation, making Hyesung feel more aroused than usual. Or maybe it was just because it had been so long since he had last felt Lee Hyuk’s touch.

As much as he hated to admit it, Hyesung found himself craving this closeness, even in a place like the hospital. He had always scoffed at scenes in dramas or movies where characters engaged in public displays of affection, never imagining that he would one day be doing something like this in a hospital, as a patient no less.

"You’re squirming. How cute."

Lee Hyuk’s lazy drawl was almost as stimulating as his touch. Hyesung’s hips began to twitch involuntarily.

"Hnn…"

"Hyesung, we’re in a hospital. You have to be quiet."

Lee Hyuk’s tone and actions were clearly teasing, and Hyesung bit his lip hard. Normally, he would have scolded Lee Hyuk for being childish and pushed him away, but it had been too long since he had last felt this way, and his body was too weak to resist. Plus, with his checkup coming up soon, there was really only one way to resolve the situation quickly.

"Mister…"

Hyesung wrapped his arms around Lee Hyuk’s neck.

"Could you just… do it quickly?"

"…"

Lee Hyuk let out a heavy sigh near Hyesung’s ear, mumbling something about not being able to resist.

"Hyesung, look at me."

Lee Hyuk pulled Hyesung’s face closer, pressing his lips against his. He kissed him fiercely, sucking on his lips and forcing his tongue into his mouth. Hyesung let out a muffled whimper as Lee Hyuk’s tongue ravaged his mouth, swallowing every sound.

At the same time, Lee Hyuk’s hand, which had been moving torturously slow, suddenly picked up speed, gripping and stroking him firmly.

"Mister, stop! Hnn…"

Hyesung weakly pushed at Lee Hyuk’s shoulders, but the overwhelming sensations made it impossible to resist. With a shudder, Hyesung’s body released, the thick substance spilling onto the towel beneath him. His lips were swollen and wet from the aggressive kiss, and his hospital gown had slipped off one shoulder, exposing the reddened skin of his chest.

Seeing the satisfied mess he had made of Hyesung, Lee Hyuk couldn’t help but smile.

"You’re beautiful."

"Ugh, seriously, why…"

Hyesung, finally regaining some semblance of clarity, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Lee Hyuk in frustration. He had let himself get swept away by Lee Hyuk’s pace again. Just as he was about to express his irritation, there was a knock at the door.

"Mr. Hyesung, I just wanted to remind you about your checkup."

"Ah, yes! I’m on my way!"

Hyesung hurriedly climbed off the bed, scrambling to put on his underwear and pants, which Lee Hyuk had carelessly discarded.

"Hyesung, I’ll be right behind you. Go ahead."

"No, don’t come."

Hyesung pouted adorably and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Lee Hyuk glanced down at himself. The front of his pants was conspicuously tented, throbbing painfully. There was no way he could stand up without calming himself down first.

"If only he’d hurry up and fully recover…"

Lee Hyuk sighed as he thought about how to help Hyesung regain his strength, both to take care of him and, selfishly, to finally sate his own desires.
