Chapter 55: CH 54

Yul trembled as he recalled the shameful past at Duke Esirene’s residence, where only important parts were roughly covered with a piece of cloth. In the meantime, Yuri hurriedly raised his body from the bed, hoping Mikael would not wake up.

It was then. Mikael’s eyes, which seemed to be closed, slowly opened.

“… I’m going crazy.”

If he just woke up and his husky voice sounded particularly sexy, he must be crazy.

Yul reprimanded himself for having unscrupulous thoughts in this situation, telling himself to get it together.

But before he could even do that, a strange atmosphere hung around them. Yul felt that Mikael’s serious gaze was scanning his body. In an instant, Yul’s face turned red. It was the moment when Yul was in a hurry to cover himself with a blanket out of embarrassment.

“Mi, Mikael…”

Mikael reached out and touched Yul’s cheek.

Putting aside the fact that it was an unexpected action, his touch was so affectionate that he was surprised.

“… Yuri.”

When he called his name, Yul’s eyes widened. It was a name he called every day, so why did it sound so strange now?

As if responding to Yul’s thoughts, Mikael’s hand slowly moved to Yul’s lips. It happened without time to stop it.

“Mi- Mikael…”

Yul, taken aback by the elaborate hand gesture, called his name. At that moment, Mikael’s red eyes shone dangerously. A red alert rang loudly in Yul’s head.

“Uh, uh, Mikael, mmph…”

The startled Yul’s words were blocked by Mikael’s lips. His tongue parted Yul’s lips. Mikael’s tongue did not stop where he came in, and without hesitation, it dug into Yul’s mouth. Yul moaned involuntarily at the licking of his mouth and the stimulating sensation.

He couldn’t understand what the hell was going on with me. Even so, he couldn’t understand himself the most, not being able to push him away despite a sudden kiss.

For a not short amount of time, a deep kiss continued with each other’s saliva flowing back and forth.

Finally, when Mikael slowly parted his lips, a string of saliva hung between them, as if proving that they had shared a deep kiss.

Even with his drowsy mind, the fact that he had kissed Mikael hit him. It’s embarrassing and bewildering, but he didn’t hate it. Confused emotions took over Yul.

“Mi- Mikael… Wh- why…”

“Because I like you.”

An unwavering confession has returned. Yul blinked his big eyes because he had no sense of reality.

“L- like… ? Me… ?”

Did I hear it correctly just now? Mikael says he likes me?

He couldn’t believe his confession at all, so Yul asked again and again.

Since when? Since when did he like me? Does Mikael really like me?

“Me, me? You like me… ? Me… ?”

He mumbled like a broken toy for a long time, and then he suddenly came to his senses, as if a disconnected circuit was being reconnected.

Mikael shouldn’t like him. Because he was a gwanggong and the main character of “Red Prison”. In terms of development, the person he should like is not him, but Levi, the protagonist.

“W- why? Why? Oh no, w- why? No, wait. What is this… what about L- Levi? Leaving Levi behind, why me… ? Why? What’s going on? What? What is this? No, wait. It has to be Levi! Not me! The protagonist of ‘Red Prison’ is Levi?! What is this, what kind of gwanggong is this?!”

At the same time Yul screamed, Mikael’s eyes widened. His eyes were full of confusion. The red eyes lost their way and wandered.

“Yu- Yuri… ?”

He called Yul’s name in a panicked voice.

Who should be the one to be really startled right now? Was this how he’s reacting after suddenly kissing him? Yul was dumbfounded and opened his mouth.

“W- what is this…”

“Why is Mikael saying that! That’s what I should be saying! Why are you surprised when you kissed me, why!”

“W-we kissed… ? Really… ?”

“Hah…”

It is said that when a person is too stupefied, they’ll be speechless. Yul didn’t know what that feeling was until now. But now he knew for sure.

At Mikael’s words, Yul was so absurd and stupefied that he couldn’t even speak.

He kissed him first, and took someone else’s first kiss! What kind of immoral reaction was this?!

“Of course it’s a kiss, do you think we played a game of moving paper with our mouths1? Is this some kind of entertainment show?!”

“N- no. Wait a minute… So that’s… Aren’t I dreaming?”

“What do you mean, a dream? Would that be a dream? Lips collided, tongue twisted, saliva mixed, we did that all?”

Yul yelled in unbearable fury. He doesn’t even notice that what he’s saying was very explicit.

“So… That was not a dream.”

“Ah, that’s what I’m saying?”

“You mean, we really kissed.”

“That… uh… yes…?”

At Mikael’s question, Yul swallowed dryly. It was because he felt that his eyes were shining suspiciously. Was it lust or desire? Anyway, it was full of impure emotions.

Moreover, the moment he realized that those impure eyes were directed at his naked body, Yul recalled anew that this guy in front of him was a gwanggong.

“W- why are you looking at me like that… ?”

“Since it’s already happened, I might as well do something bad.”

“What, do what.. ?”

Do what, you lowly bastard?

Yul swallowed what he couldn’t bear to say behind his back and hurriedly grabbed the blanket to cover himself.

There’s no way he could stop him with just one sheet of blanket, but he wanted to at least do that because he was so anxious.

Mikael watched Yul’s actions as if they were interesting. But even that was short-lived.

“I have a question before that.”

""

“W- what is it?”

“I don’t see why I should like Levi.”

“That’s how the novel develops…”

While Yul was hesitant about the obvious question, he tried to answer as he thought of it, but Mikael asked again.

“Is there any reason why I should follow that?”

“Well, it’s not it but…”

Yul hesitated at Mikael’s question.

Come to think of it, it didn’t have to be that way. It’s strange that a character in a novel had an ego, but he’s not even in a novel he himself wrote, so there was no reason Mikael had to act according to the novel’s development.

Besides, if the novel progressed as it unfolded, that would be a problem. That would mean that he would soon become a real madman, but if his going crazy was a loss to him, it was a loss, and it would not do any good.

“The one I like is you, Yuri.”

“… Why?”

Yul was genuinely curious.

Putting aside the fact that he didn’t like Levi, he must have a reason for liking him.

Although he had turned into a human now, he first met him as a doll and had been living as a doll most of the time. He was startled and did not understand why he liked him, who was nothing more than a wad of cotton.

“I didn’t expect you to ask me why. Well… When I came to my senses, I realized that I liked you. My eyes kept going to you, but at some point I became anxious that I might not be able to see you. And you made me laugh all the time.”

Mikael said he didn’t expect Yul to ask why, but he didn’t seem to be taken aback in the slightest. As if he had been waiting for someone to ask him, he replied fluently.

At his confident attitude, Yul could not say anything while his lips were still wet with saliva and glistening.

“So, I want us to try dating. I think it’s good to kiss right now and then to the next one.”

“Next…”

“Sex—”

“Aaaaahhhh!!! You’re crazy, crazy! What are you saying while the kids are watching?!”

Why is this gwanggong moving so quickly all of a sudden?! No, that must be why he’s a gwanggong?

“What kids are watching?”

“Ah, no. Why did I say that? Why would kids be watching? Red Prison isn’t even a novel for all ages? Oh, anyway, L- Lucky is watching! Lucky! Lucky is a kid!”
