On the fourth day, Jeoyoon finally began to show signs of recovery. As he sat up in bed, looking around with bleary eyes, Chunho smiled and handed him a cup of warm tea.
"Welcome back, Jeo-ah," he said, his voice gentle and soothing. "I was starting to think you were going to sleep for a week."
Jeoyoon took a sip of the tea, his eyes still heavy with exhaustion. But as he looked at Chunho, he suddenly remembered the past few days, and his eyes widened in horror.
"Oh no...what happened and why am I in your room?" he asked, his voice trembling with embarrassment.
Chunho chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Let me give you a short recap," he said, his voice dripping with amusement. "Ah you were quite the sight to behold. Sluggish, sleepy, clingy...you stuck to me like glue all day, wouldn't let me leave your side. And ductile? Oh, my you were like a little puppy."
"…"
Jeoyoon's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he listened to Chunho's recap of his behavior. He felt his face burning with embarrassment, and he wanted to crawl under a rock and hide.
"I...I don't remember any of that," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Chunho chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "That's okay, you'd be more embarrassed if you did.."he said, his voice gentle. "You were quite...entertaining, to say the least. Just ignore Ahn when you see him."
"…"
"Why? What did I do to him?!"
"No…he just saw a lot of things…"
Jeoyoon's face was bright red with embarrassment, and he felt like he was going to faint from mortification. He couldn't believe he had behaved like that, and he couldn't believe Chunho was teasing him about it.
"Now that you're okay, can you tell me why you were like that? Even the physician had no idea what was wrong with you so he could only pin it down on the fever. But I'm guessing that's no ordinary fever.."
Jeoyoon looked down as he played with his fingers, he couldn't tell Chunho what was happening to him was because of his cycle and this was the period he could conceive.
"Csnt say? Does it have to do with your constitution? Mhm is it probably the time when you mate?"
"…"
"Dont say it like that, I'm not an animal.."
Jeoyoon blushed but his reaction only confirmed Chunho's guesses.
"So that's how it is?"
Chunho stood up and smile, pushing Jeoyoon down as he towered over him.
"Then lets make some babies.."
Jeoyoon's eyes widened in shock as Chunho's words hung in the air. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "W-what are you saying?" he stuttered, his face burning with embarrassment.
Chunho just grinned, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I'm saying that we should make the most of this opportunity, don't you?," he said, his voice low and husky. "You're in a fertile period, and I'm more than happy to help you conceive."
Jeoyoon's face was bright red with embarrassment, and he felt like he was going to faint from embarrassment. He couldn't believe Chunho would be this forward yet again this was Chunho he was talking about.
"N-no, we can't just...do that," Jeoyoon stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Chunho chuckled, his eyes never leaving Jeoyoon's face. "Why not, Jeo-ah?" he asked, his voice teasing. "It's the perfect opportunity. And I promise you, I'll make it worth your while."
Jeoyoon's heart was racing as he looked up at Chunho, his eyes locked on his face. He couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards Chunho, the way his body responded to his touch.
But he was scared, scared of what might happen if they gave in to their desires and he got pregnant?
What if Chunho wasn't the one?
"I...I don't know, Chunho," Jeoyoon said, his voice trembling with uncertainty.
Just how the hell would he know who is other half is, he bit his lips muttering curses at Yooshin.
Chunho's smile softened, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair out of Jeoyoon's face. "It's okay, Jeo-ah," he said, his voice gentle. "We can take things slow, you're already trembling…I won't hurt you."
Jeoyoon's heart skipped a beat as he looked up at Chunho, his eyes searching for any sign of deception. But all he saw was he clear gaze, it reminded him just how calm the water could be.
And in that moment, Jeoyoon knew that he was lost. He was lost to Chunho's charms and to his kindness. And he knew that he would follow him anywhere, no matter the cost.
"If I got pregnant and you're not the one…."
"Hush…say no more.."
Chunho stood up, as he arranged his robes now that Jeoyoon was himself. He could finally oversee his duties.
"I'm heading out, be a good boy the physician will be here to check your injuries soon."
Chunho wore it hat and walked to the door when he felt a tug on his robe.
He sighed and turned around "Yes, Jeo-ah do you want me to get sweets on my way back?"
"I want to come along.."
