What Grows In That Garden?
그 정원에서 자라는 것
Synopsis
“If it’s alright with you, ahjussi, I’d like to help.”
Dohyung works for a company that maintains the gardens of Yulim’s family villa. While taking care of the grounds, he meets Yulim. At first, he worries about getting on the bad side of the owner’s son, but once he realizes Yulim is kind and friendly, he relaxes. Before long, he grows close to Yulim, who treats him with easy familiarity.
Then one day, while working in a white T-shirt that ends up soaked through with sweat, Dohyung’s inverted nipples are discovered by Yulim…?

“Ahjussi. They’re inverted?”
“…Huh?”
Not immediately understanding what Yulim meant, Dohyung stared back blankly.
His gaze lingered on the spot where Yulim’s soft finger had poked him, then shifted to Yulim’s smile, sweet as green gr*pe candy.
“Or not? Did I see wrong?”
Yulim tilted his head innocently.
Then he abruptly grabbed the hem of Dohyung’s T-shirt and pulled it up.
“Take it off for a second.”
“W-Why?”
“What’s the big deal? We’re both men. Besides, you sometimes came out without a shirt after showering.”
“That’s different…”
He had only done that occasionally when Yulim was holed up in the kitchen. He hadn’t realized Yulim had noticed.
After hesitating awkwardly, Dohyung reluctantly removed his shirt. It was already soaked through and clinging to his body, revealing everything underneath anyway, so he figured it hardly made a difference.
Dohyung’s sweat-slick body was imposing.
Having just finished work, his muscles were swollen with heat and seemed to twitch with every pulse. The contrast between the dark skin around his neck and wrists and the comparatively pale skin normally hidden beneath his clothes was strangely eye-catching.
Rather than openly ogling his impressive physique, Yulim fixed his gaze on the chest Dohyung was subtly trying to shield with his arm.
“So I was right. They’re inverted.”
