#get buzzed

Joonhyuk loves eating. He's a normal office worker, and his handsome coworker Yoon Jihoon has always been kinda sleazy.

They aren't friends.

They don't hang out.

They're only just close enough to share a cup of coffee.

After Joonhyuk drinks from that cup he gets sick. He goes to multiple doctors, and even the best professionals cannot figure out what he's got.

He's got no sense of taste. He feels weak. He keeps throwing up and he can barely keep water down.

After five days he can see his breaking point coming.

He's desperate and afraid.

Yoon Jihoon says his friend experienced something similar. That friend supposedly has medicine to share and perhaps a doctors name. They agree to meet up.

Joonhyuk is nervous and obedient because he's sick. When you're really, truly ill no isn't in the cards.

How fucked up would it be if someone had the power to make you sick at will?

From then on your will would cease to mean anything.

Joonhyuk musters up his strength and alot of hope for the meeting.

It's a trap.

The "friend" never arrives.

Joonhyuk ends up in a locked room, with a coworker he hardly knows.

One with a bad reputation.

His head bows.

He's so sick.

He can't leave.

Yoon Jihoon confesses his love. He kisses Joonhyuk, and just like that he can taste again. Not only can he taste again....but it's better! It's like the world is covered in molten gold. He's free to drink and taste and run and work again.

Yoon Jihoon takes full advantage. Joonhyuk enjoys the taste too much, and they sleep together.

Joonhyuk runs away in the morning, because of course he does. He has no feelings for Yoon Jihoon. Eating street dumplings makes him cry. He can breathe again. Yoon Jihoon is just a scumbag who wanted a quick lay. His body got better on its own.

Gosh, Yoon Jihoon really is sleazy.

Better forget about him and go back to life.

Twenty four hours pass.

Joonhyuk loses his sense of taste.

Within a couple of days he'll start to feel ill.

Who knows? If he's separated from Yoon Jihoon for too long he could die.

Why?

How?

Yoon Jihoon is a strange creature. He needs sex to live, and his bodily fluids are an incurable addiction trap. Any part of him that gets swallowed delivers a permanent curse. One that can only be periodically cured by him and him alone.

It was an accident the first time.

He ruined his boyfriends chef career, and the boy eventually killed himself. Terrified by the unnatural connection that was starting to control his entire life.

I'm not saying Yoon Jihoon didn't feel guilty, but now he's a fully grown monster. His feelings for Joonhyuk are not a high school crush. He's fully embraced his monstrous ability, and he's happy to use it to force Joonhyuk to date him.

Joonhyuk resists.
