Yang Ilwoo and Me

양일우와 나

Dan Rim

When Hwang Mok-yeon's friend-with-benefits Chae Sunhwa proposes a threesome, he's only mildly intrigued until he hears who the third is. His target? Eun Nanjo: wealthy, polite, and perfectly presentable...but, according to Sunhwa, hopelessly boring in bed.

At first, it's just curiosity. But once the three of them are tangled in sheets, Mok-yeon finds he can't take his eyes off Nanjo...not even for a moment. And when he realizes Nanjo may be more interested in saving Sunhwa than claiming him, Mok-yeon makes a quiet, dangerous offer.

He leans in and says, "I want you. Do you think you could spread your legs for me?"

Oryu

"You smell."

One day, Taegyeol, a 20-year-old returning student, is abruptly told by a classmate he has never met before that he "smells." Caught off guard by something he has never heard in his life, he tries to brush it off as a minor incident.

Later, a careless remark from a teacher comparing him to another returning student from a different class leaves Taegyeol irritated. Acting on impulse, he heads to that classroom, only to run into the same person again. It is Muwon, the guy who told him he smelled.

When Taegyeol confronts him about what he said earlier, Muwon dodges the question with vague, half-hearted excuses. Annoyed by his attitude, yet strangely unable to look away from him, Taegyeol ends up making the first move and asks to be friends.

"Want to hang out later?"

"I can't..."

Despite clearly saying no, Muwon is waiting for Taegyeol in front of the school gate after classes. So what is this guy really thinking?
