Excerpt from the chapter 136 aka the kiss scene for comparison if ya'll curious how it went down
Cha Eui-jae climbed onto Lee Sa-young’s lap, supporting the back of his neck with one hand and covering the hand gripping his clothes with the other. He gently rubbed the veins protruding from Lee Sa-young’s hand, trying to soothe him. Lee Sa-young’s head lolled backward. His mouth hung open, gasping for air sporadically.
Was it because the memories inside the Memorial Dungeon, those of ‘Cha Eui-jae,’ were so sweet?
Slowly, Cha Eui-jae leaned down.
No, those were just excuses.
A sweet scent filled the air,
And maybe, just maybe, Cha Eui-jae…
Their soft lips met.
“…”
Cha Eui-jae tilted his head, deepening the kiss as warmth spread between them. He exhaled all his breath into Lee Sa-young’s slightly parted lips, then inhaled again before kissing him once more. He could feel the strength slowly leaving Lee Sa-young’s grip on his clothes.
How much time had passed? Cha Eui-jae opened his eyes.
The violet eyes, now focused, were filled with nothing but Cha Eui-jae.
“…”
“…”
Cha Eui-jae slowly pulled away from the kiss, his hand releasing Lee Sa-young’s grip. But just as he began to move, a large hand grabbed his wrist tightly. Their eyes met.
Cha Eui-jae spoke.
“…I told you, I have skills.”
“…”
“I don’t lie like someone else.”
The warmth of Lee Sa-young’s hand crept between Cha Eui-jae’s fingers. His strong arms wrapped around Cha Eui-jae’s waist. The violet eyes gleamed fiercely, as if they would devour him, and the lips, swollen and red, parted. A cracked voice sweetly whispered, almost as if in seduction.
“Not yet.”
“…”
“Just a little longer.”
“…”
Lee Sa-young.
Cha Eui-jae’s only success.
And…
Cha Eui-jae slowly leaned down. Something soft slipped between Lee Sa-young’s slightly parted lips, their tongues tangling as a wet sound echoed between them. Each time Lee Sa-young’s dark tongue rubbed against the roof of his mouth, Cha Eui-jae’s body jolted.
He wrapped his arms around Lee Sa-young’s neck, their chests pressing tightly together, leaving no space between them. Their hearts were beating wildly. This time, surely, Lee Sa-young could hear it all too. After all…
[Trait: Basilisk’s Venom (S+) activated.]
[Due to the effect of Basilisk’s Venom (S+), you have developed resistance to toxins you’ve already detoxified.]
[The detoxification speed has increased.]
[You will not suffer physical damage.]
[Detoxifying…]
There’s no way an S-grade Awakener wouldn’t hear it, right?
Ignoring the barrage of system messages, Cha Eui-jae closed his eyes. Their lips parted with a soft sound. A quiet laugh slipped out, barely audible.
“You’re right.”
“…”
“You weren’t lying…”
Lee Sa-young sighed, the sound so sweet it seemed to melt the air. He lowered his head, pressing his lips to Cha Eui-jae’s neck. Cha Eui-jae glanced down at Lee Sa-young’s tousled black hair, then gently rested his cheek against it.
A burning heat enveloped them both. In the stillness of the ruins, Cha Eui-jae closed his eyes and listened to the sound of their hearts.
Lee Sa-young tasted sweet.
