excess bittersweet

"Hyung, I'm nervous!" Gunwook fidgeted with his hands for a moment before his boyfriend took one, rubbing his fingers on his knuckles to reassure him.

"Don't worry, Gunwookie. My friends and family are going to love you. They've been asking about you forever." Matthew's smile had to have been a ray of sunshine in the darker winter days because right now, he wouldn't have even thought it was cold out.

Originally, since Gunwook had come abroad while studying, he didn't really know anyone. It was a little difficult to make friends as the foreign exchange student from Korea... but he managed to make one that sort of became his gateway for meeting just about everyone that he had met this semester.

Matthew was that gateway. Before they were dating, he extended his arm and showed him just how to interact with everyone and everywhere he needed to go on campus. It didn't take long for Gunwook to actively search out his hyung's attention and with time, even asking more of it. Their mutual friends were able to tell from a mile away that they were going to get together. Matthew's childhood friend, Hanbin, made sure Gunwook had someone else to talk to just in case he needed to spill his guts about him too.

"Seokmae... he's a really good kid. Just like you really!" Hanbin's smile was wide as Gunwook smiled sheepishly. It felt cathartic to find another Korean friend in Canada and even more so to tell him about the crush that he had on him. "I think you should go for it... because if you wait, he's not going to realize... he... has a thick skull sometimes..."

A couple more pep talks from Hanbin and Gunwook ended up confessing. The success sent him to the moon and he thought they'd spend time together at the dorms for the holidays.... until Matthew quite literally invited Gunwook to spend the entire break together.

They arrived at the door to Matthew's house as Gunwook took a shaky breath before the door opened. Almost like a whirlwind, Gunwook's hand was taken while he was cooed at by his boyfriend's family, all praising him for his good looks and happy that their son had picked someone so perfectly for himself. It was all positive attention that made his face burn before Matthew stepped between them.

"Alright, alright! We're gonna go to my room since the trip was long and then we're gonna come right back down!" His sister nudged him playfully before he raised his hand jokingly before taking Gunwook upstairs.

It was going to be a wild month while he got used to this.

There was one thing that Hanbin had mentioned to him. It was at a party when Gunwook had told their friends that he was going to Matthew's for the holidays. Hao was sitting comfortably in his boyfriend's lap, the hand resting comfortably on his waist.

"You..." His words were slightly delayed from the alcohol they were drinking but Hanbin smiled, "You should be aware that Seokmae's family... love treating their guests. He definitely knows it too." He points an accusing finger to his friend who's dancing on the dance floor a little ways away as Hao squeezes his cheeks.

"He's just trying to scare you. They're really nice. They treated Hanbin extra kind when they were there." Hanbin pouted as his boyfriend before he was melted with a kiss on the lips, eroding any complaints that might have followed.

For a while, Gunwook didn't really give it any thought... but when Hanbin said they treated them well, what it meant was that they treated them like royalty. Every waking hour, Gunwook felt like there was food being pushed inside of him from any of the family members. His dad was barbecuing something delicious, his mom cooking something and even his sister bringing treats from outside... there was hardly ever a moment where Gunwook didn't feel like he was beached on whatever he was sitting on.

It's not like his boyfriend wasn't in a similar state. There were times where he rubbed his boyfriend's stomach from when he said that he overate.

He didn't think too much of it because it didn't really change much... it only really started to matter after Christmas dinner. The family was eating at chatting at the table and... halfway through his second plate, there were a few pinging sounds as Gunwook felt his stomach, now bare to the world because he blew the buttons on them.

It's not like he completely avoided gaining weight going to university. Hanging out with Matthew meant they frequented different foods to try and Matthew loved showing him his favourite dishes, which quickly became Gunwook's. He hadn't become this tall eating moderately.

But, the shirt that had been replaced without him knowing... the buttons that blew from his own gluttony and how much he had fattened up. He saw the way Matthew's ears flushed next to him and felt a hand on his thigh, squeezing the mass.

Oh. He knew exactly what he did.

Gunwook's hand moved underneath his belly, lifting it up and letting it flop before he looked at his boyfriend who was avoiding his gaze. If that's how he wanted to play...

"Auntie, can I get another plate. I really am hungry."

-

They had arrived in Matthew's room two hours later. Gunwook wanted to make sure they were in the clear before he got up. The buttons on his shirt were only the first to go and he didn't feel like exposing himself that much to Matthew's family.

They had already seen how wide he was getting so they didn't need to see the tent that he was pitching at the thought of getting so fat he broke out of his clothes like he did tonight. That was reserved for the one who pressed him against the door the second it closed.

Matthew lifted his leg, his own chubby thigh raised to Gunwook's crotch as the two groaned and Matthew fondled Gunwook's belly.

"Didn't know you liked this as much as I do, Gunwookie..." He squeezed some of the fat on the younger man as he groaned.

"You've been doing this for some time... did you do the same thing to Hanbin when he came here?"

"Ngh, you should have seen how big he got. So bad at saying no to people... but you look even better."

"Not like I'm the only one..." Gunwook's large hand moved to Matthew's moobs and squeezed, eliciting a moan from the shorter man before he bit his lip, trying to be a little quieter. Gunwook's hands moved to Matthew's own gut as he shook it. "You're getting big too... this isn't just winter weight, hyung."

He felt a hand on his crotch, his erection shaking as Matthew fondled his fat pad. "Yeah, you're just fat now... and this break is far from over, Gunwookie... make sure to eat well." The hand slipped into his underwear and began to pleasure him, his body convulsing and jiggling with each pump of the neglected length.

Their fat bodies grinded against each other and it didn't take long for Gunwook to release into Matthew's hand before they moved to his bed, hearing the prominent creak, wondering how much longer before their combined weight potentially broke the bed.

Arriving back on campus, Hanbin patted Gunwook on the gut that was decorated with angry stretchmarks from the sheer amount he blew up. "I take it you enjoyed the trip?"

Matthew approached from the side, his belly bumping into Hanbin, squishing his somewhat lithe physique between the two bodies. "Yeah! They loved him... and they missed you, hyung~ You should visit again!"
