Ginnan's eyes opened instantly. And unfortunately, a portrait of a ridiculous expression reflected clearly in Renji's golden eyes that were right in front of him.
"Bareback or not," said Renji. "Stop pretend you don't understand."
"I-I mean… I don't know," Ginnan looked away. "But usually things like that are determined by the client."
"Then I don't have to."
DEG
Ginnan froze staring at the floor hearing that. "Ugh…"
"You're still sterile after all."
Ginnan squeezed the spoon tighter. And Renji must have seen all traces of his nervousness. "W-Whatever…" he said. But remained silent until Renji asked as lightly as the wind.
"Do you want me to strip you or take off yourself?"
"I…" Ginnan put his plate on the table and gulped. "M-May I want to do it myself…"
Renji was just watching. "Do not belong."
Ginnan looked at the man and braced himself. "Can I close my eyes too?"
"Tsk. Whatever." Ginnan immediately closed his eyes. However, he noticed that his fingers were shaking as he untied the bathrobe. This man saw it. See it. See it very clearly. From head to toe. Stripped himself to become a woman in bed—NO! FOR ANYTHING HIS CONSCIENCE REFUSED TO THAT!
"W-Wait… I changed my mind," Ginnan said. Still with my eyes closed. "Can you just do it? I… I really can't—"
"Ck."
DEG
Ginnan held his breath as he felt Renji's hand tug at the strings in one swoop. Making the knot fall apart and the collar slipping off to the shoulder.
Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! Lord Buddha! Hindu God! Christian God! Any god! At this time Ginnan just regretted not believing in God!
"Relax. I haven't touched you."
Ginnan knew that. But does he want to be tense? No! Of course not!
"C-Could you go any faster?"
"No."
"You enjoy torturing me."
The next seconds, maybe because he was too tense… Ginnan was busy with his thoughts. To the extent that he didn't notice Renji's movements were far from his imagination.
"Well done," said Renji. "Open your eyes now."
"What?"
"I said just open your eyes now."
From his left eye, Ginnan squinted before opening his right eye. There, Renji remained in front of him. But the man looked like he had just finished tying the bathrobe he had just pulled.
This time it looked tidier than before. Even his fallen collar was returned to its original place.
"Why?"
Renji looked at him. "Should I answer your question?"
"No," said Ginnan. "But, I wanted to know. But you probably didn't say it."
"Right."
"What… are you not going to do it?"
"According to you?"
Ginnan confused. He gazes at the man… even to the point of a mischievous grin appearing as Renji took a sip of red wine.
"Y-You!" Instantly Ginnan's face turned bright red. Realized he had just been played badly.
"Hahaha… a great face," Renji quipped while shaking his head. "Your reaction is even that of a teenaged virgin."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
"Hahaha…"
Renji moved from there. The man carried his wine glass lazily and headed for the bed. There, he finished the drink before slamming himself down without a care. His body was across the bed. Not neat. Then cover his eyes with his arms. Sleep. Just like that.
Ginnan immediately cursed harshly. "FUCK! WHAT WAS JUST?!" he shouted in disbelief.
He immediately felt very cheap. Been out with a bathrobe like this. Hopeless. Even just being bullied?
Ginnan vowed to bite the man even once in his life.
"Okay, I'm going to change into my pajamas! Just watch out if you want to touch me!" Ginnan snapped.
Grudgingly, he went to Renji's dressing room… which was like a typical rich man's wardrobe.
Spacious, fully clothed and laid out in structure. It was predictable that the inside was layered. Mostly tuxedos, shirts, and coats. But shoes, accessories, ties, and pajamas are no less. Ginnan was no longer excited to see all the motifs filled with cute cartoons. Oh, no. Some are also from the legendary faces of Naruto, Luffy, and Conan the Detective.
Ginnan also took the one that was Naruto. It was bright yellow and he came out still with heavy emotions. "Just watch out you—"
BRAKE! CTAR! It's a pile of books. Which fell from the nightstand together. Followed by the sound of broken glass and broken glasses.
It's was on the floor, the remaining liquid of wine was slowly spilling out. Then all the chaos was made worse by the contents of the stomach that was spewed out by Renji.
The man gripped the edge of the nightstand breathlessly and almost fell if Ginnan hadn't hunted him down.
"HEY DON'T JOKE!"
Ginnan grabbed Renji's shoulder, the man pushed him back and threw up again. All the dinner he had just chewed a few minutes ago came out with nothing left.
Ginnan remembered the sight of Yuki in his room a few days ago. But not. The vomiting of these two people is different.
Yuki was just too drunk and her stomach wasn't strong with alcohol. Meanwhile, Renji was too shaken and his whole body refused to walk normally.
Again, the man did not show any significant signs of bulimia to the point where it started to get worse. And now his face was as pale as a dead fish again. Even though a few moments ago he was still acting like an asshole.
"YOU'RE—CRAZY BASTARD!" Ginnan snapped. He really couldn't stand it. He pushed Renji into the pile of pillows. Then shook him like he was judging. "IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU CAN'T SPEAK AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN'T?! Aren't you the MOST shameless human?!"
Renji just smirked and chuckled. "Stupid…"
Ginnan to heat instantly. "What are you hiding?! Share with me!" Ginnan asked irritably. "Trouble with your ex again? Too much work? Fuck friends or something to do with your manager?"
Renji fainted after that.

NOTE:
** About Renji's illness. Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder caused by panic over body shape, excessive stress, and self-harm behavior. The majority of sufferers eat a lot at once but force themselves to vomit using laxatives and some people like Renji don't eat for a long time. Although similar to anorexia, bulimia sufferers have more stable weight, so it is difficult for the general public to know. This disease is vague but very life-threatening.
*** In this chapter, actually Renji thought twice about making love to Ginnan because he suddenly felt relapsed again. The stress about Jean and Haru torturing him.
