Ginnan looked like he wanted to curse but he tried to hold it in.
Renji was allowed to monologue as he pleased. "Oh… by the way your cooking last night was not bad. I won't refuse to make it again next time."
Ginnan remained silent.
"I also thought about redeeming your contract. From your boss—"
"What?"
Ginnan reflexively pulled away until Renji almost hit the back of the chair on his head. Renji woke up. Their faces were only inches apart at that moment. Ginnan immediately pushed the face away.
"Too scary…" Ginnan said annoyed.
Renji just smirked slightly before making Ginnan more emotional. The man rested his head on Ginnan's thin thighs. Half of his body is leaning. While the other half is left straight on the other half that is still empty. Seems like he really wants to sleep there during the trip.
"A man as handsome as me is scary?" Renji asked. However, his eyes were completely closed.
Ginnan wanted to laugh, but sadly. He swung his arms in front of his face as if he was driving away a stench. "Gosh… so narcissistic," he said, increasingly irritated. He looked away at the window.
"I'm very handsome indeed," said Renji.
Ginnan gritted his teeth subconsciously. He hissed. "Yes yes yes … whatever," he said lazily. "Though I wonder what you're doing today…" His voice trailed off.
"I've never really been rude to you. So what's really scary…" Renji muttered, and of course got no response from Ginnan. Until his breathing began to slow down, a sign he really had entered into dreamland.
At that moment, Ginnan was just about to look into Renji's sleeping face. Of course, the man looked like an ordinary human in an instant. It's not annoying, it doesn't provoke emotions, it just makes him curious.
Ginnan even realized that Renji had a tiny mole on his right forehead after watching for a while. The mole was close to his eyebrow, hidden when his bangs were lowered, and he pulled Ginnan's hand gently to part it.
To be honest, Renji is indeed very handsome. The man wasn't narcissistic or anything, but really Ginnan had never intended to get to know his customers any further. Never even rented several times.
Ginnan then said quietly. His tone was regretful. "Why look at the profile book in front of me," he said. "You must have seen the year I was born. I feel so old and so lousy…"
Oh, yeah… who doesn't know about Renji. That man, at the age of one year younger than Ginnan and all his success in the chain, he became very annoyed and felt inferior.
Meeting and being with Renji several times, honestly it made Ginnan suddenly think, how great it was that he wanted to compete with him as soon as possible. Even though his desire to become a comic artist has been buried deep since he decided to become a prostitute educated by Madam Shin. But now, he thought once more about dreams.
Oh, no…
This is not a dream.
It's probably just a hallucination from the past that sucks… Yeah, right?
"Hhh…" Ginnan sighed softly. He let go of the messy bangs and folded his arms across his chest. Suddenly yawned. "I should probably sleep too…" he said. Then he went to a realm full of hallucinations.

[Milan, Italy]
The trip from Tokyo to Milan takes about 4 hours. In his chair Renji woke up two hours later. He looked up at the ceiling of the plane. The vehicle's body swayed slowly as it hit the clouds. It was very sunny outside, but he sat down just to pull the window blinds.
It should have been easy, but Ginnan blocked the pull. The man's head rested there. His bangs are a bit messy and fall to the sides of his cheeks.
Renji sighed and looked at the face. Faint glistening face. His white skin glowed gently because of the oil that came out. His lips parted slightly before biting himself unconsciously. Ginnan looked uncomfortable. The man frowned for a few seconds before gritting his teeth. Like a child who was only 6 years old, maybe he had an unusual dream today.
Renji turned to look at the slender neck. The neck with a faint Adam's apple fits perfectly with the necklace he's wearing. Renji didn't have to guess that it was no more expensive than the scarf, but the white glow that glowed with it looked different there.
Causing him to approach subconsciously, gently tugging at the thing with his fingers, and only then noticed the red markings peeking at the collar. The bitemark, which is left to others as well. Everyone he had touched, but never looked this attractive.
"Ugh…" Ginnan groaned. His expression was uncomfortable when Renji's finger brushed a mark on his groin. Good thing the guy didn't wake up. He just shook his head a few times before falling back into a deep sleep.
{"Eh? Is it okay if we come in?"} asked one of the cleaning services this morning. The two looked at each other after peeking at Ginnan's figure who was still struggling under the blanket.
{"Come in."}
{"Are you sure, Sir?"}
{"I'll wake him up later."}
{"Oh well."}
Furi and Takano. The two cleaning services are not just any workers in the hotel. Renji specially hired them to clean his penthouse every day. But if there was someone inside, Haru would definitely tell them to wait for Renji to come out. Because they don't have to guess… they were his last night sex buddies. With various identities, Furi and Takano are also contracted to keep their mouths shut in order to maintain Renji's privacy.
The types of people vary. Sometimes girls. Sometimes men. Sometimes it's a woman and a man at the same time.
To be sure none of them woke up dressed. That was probably the reason they were surprised this morning. Because even Jean and Haru, he never tried to hold back.
{"NOT FOR ANYTHING!"} Ginnan snapped at the park. Renji still remembered how red his skin was. {"I told you before… I'm not a common gigolo! I'm straight! I'm very, very straight! But you — it's presumptuous to touch me…"}
All this time, they were the ones who came to him. Approaching like a butterfly, invites him to play, makes crazy fun, but also blurs his memory.
Their faces come and go. Change every time. Then leave the scents of different perfumes. In short, apart from enjoyment, there is no deep impression.
Haru and Jean are definitely different, but they're not one to have by Renji forever. They can always understand. Too bad it will always be someone else.
Ginnan shouldn't be in the criteria. This man has a very bad temper. He may be nice, but only cares about his will to survive. Wherever his feet went, there he tried to take a chance. Either lucky or unlucky, Renji actually met him after feeling very tired.
"Sir…"
Renji turned to the voice of a flight attendant. The woman in the red uniform smiled. He pushed a wheeled table full of treats.
Renji usually never took anything. If it's with Haru or Jean, they sometimes do it. But after glancing at Ginnan, he nodded. "Give me some," he said. "Every kind, every flavor—"
Renji suddenly stopped talking. Choked. Remember Ginnan's complaint last night.
{"What are you ordering this much for?"}
{"Just eat what you like. I just don't know your taste."}
{"What?"}
{"You're not hungry, aren't you—"}
{"No! It's not like that! I'm really hungry. I'm really, really hungry. So, thank you…"}
{"Hn."}
{"But… but next time you should ask first. I mean, look at it all. How can we possibly spend it. Though you don't have to worry, I'll eat the meat."}
"Sir?" asked the flight attendant again. "So, every kind of every flavor?"
Renji stared at the row of snacks. A moment later, the flight attendant was surprised to see him take everything that tasted of meat. The label is BBQ Beef with salty, sweet, and spicy variants. Then put it on Ginnan's small table.
"Thank you…"
"You're welcome..."
The stewardess left.
Renji suddenly heard the sound of a sneeze. Next to him Ginnan rubbed his nose lightly before hugging himself.
Unlike back in the room, this was probably Ginnan's first time sitting on a plane. He must not have gotten used to the atmosphere and the temperature. No matter how wide this vehicle is, there must be something different.
Even though he was lazy, Renji took off his coat to cover Ginnan's body. It feels like just yesterday he did this.
{"Y-You… you can't just walk away, can you?"} Ginnan snapped as Renji was fond of him in the garden.
In the past, Renji was used to being shunned. At school he is known to be unfriendly despite being multitalented and very attractive. The good thing is that no one dares to mess around even if they want to. In fact, being close to him was something that felt almost impossible. Until Haru and Jean fill the void though in different ways.
