Gaeul's Book Club

IVE’s Kim Gaeul lingered near one of the bookshelves of Minho’s apartment, sliding an old paperback into place after reading the back cover. She adjusted the strap of her shoulder bag and glanced towards the kitchen where Minho was rinsing mugs. The rest of the book club members had already left minutes ago but Gaeul would always linger to browse the book club leader’s library.

“Gaeul-ssi, you’re free to leave whenever. We’re done for today.” Minho called over as he dried off his hands with a towel.

“I will soon. I just wanted to look at a few more of your books,” the idol replied cheerfully.

Gaeul moved to another bookshelf on the opposite wall but her bag strap caught on the corner of a side table and the bag swung open. A well used paperback tumbled across the floor along with the rest of her belongings.

“Ah!” Gaeul dropped to her knees immediately scrambling to gather everything, but Minho was already there, crouching beside her. He had picked up the book before she could reach it.

It was The Lady and the Heretics. The cover featured a shirtless man with abs that defied anatomy standing over a woman with a torn dress gazing up at him. The spine was cracked in several places and the pages were curled from repeated handling.

Minho held it up, turning it over in his hand. “Oh?” His eyebrows lifted slightly. “This is… not the kind of book I expected you to read, Gaeul-ssi”

“Minho-ssi, please,” Gaeul whispered. Her hands reaching out for the book. “It’s just something I read for fun, it’s not…”

But Minho had already opened the book to a random page and his eyes began to scan the text. Then Minho’s lips moved as he read and a grin spread across his face.

“His hands found the hem of her nightgown and pushed it upward slowly, his soft fingers traced the skin of her inner thigh until she trembled against…”

Minho looked up at Gaeul before continuing.

“..until she trembled against his lips, her back arching off the silk sheets as she spread her knees apart. He pressed his mouth to the slick, swollen heat between her legs without warning. His tongue dragged one long stroke against her entrance to her clitoris.”

Gauel lunged forward and snatched the book from Minho’s hands. She turned away from the book club leader as she clutched the book tightly to her chest.

Minho held up his hands in mock surrender, still grinning, his voice lowering as he teased the idol. “Ah, come on, Gaeul-ssi. Don’t be embarrassed. We’re a book club. We read and share our love of books with each other.” He gestured at his copy of their assigned reading on his coffee table. “This is just… a different kind of book.”

“I just read it for fun…” Gaeul protested, clutching the book tighter against her chest. She could feel the heat radiating off her own face and neck.

Minho wasn’t letting it go. He pointed at the spine of the book where it had been bent and folded so many times that the spine had cracked and turned white. “You know, the condition of a book can tell you a lot about its content.” He reached out and gently tapped the most worn sections of the spine. “This part here looks like it’s been read dozens of times.” He raised an eyebrow. “What’s in that section?”

Gaeul looked down at the worn book in her hands. “It’s…it’s just the good parts.”

“The good parts,” Minho repeated and then laughed. “So there are good parts. I see. What exactly happens in these good parts, Gaeul-ssi?” He leans down to bring his face level with hers. “Book club rules. We discuss what we’ve read.”

“Only the assigned reading!” Gaeul protested taking a step back from Minho.

"We also talk about the other books we enjoy with each other.” Minho teased as he smiled at Gaeul. “I’m curious about these good parts too.”

Gaeul looked at the the tall man in front of her. He was fifteen centimeters taller than her and at least two years older. Gaeul would have considered him good looking if she wasn’t constantly surrounded by other idols, actors, and models. But she enjoyed his insights on the books they read and how his playful attitude made her feel comfortable without her members or managers around. Her cheeks were flushed but her grip on the book loosened. “Y-you’re terrible,” She said biting her lower lip as she looked at him again.

“…Fine.” she breathed. “But you have to promise not to laugh.”

“Agreed.” Minho said as he straightened his body with a satisfied look on his face.

Gauel took a deep breath and laughed, trying to calm herself. She opened the book to her favorite sceme and began to read aloud, her voice starting soft and trembling before gaining confidence.

“Lady Agrias had never imagined herself in such a position — kneeling on the ground of the church, her armor discarded and her gown pooled around her waist. Ramza gripped her cheeks as his cock pressed against her lips, feeding her inch after inch of thick flesh while she sucked and moaned around him.”

Gaeul paused, swallowing hard as she looked up at Minho for a moment.

“Underneath her, Rad had already settled between her thighs, the thick head of his member pressed against her slick entrance. She felt him push inside, stretching her open slowly while the Ramza fucked her mouth. Lady Agrias whimpered around the cock in her throat while her body rocked gently between the two men.”

Minho listened to Gaeul’s every word. She looked at his flush face again but something else caught the idol’s eyes, the growing bulge in his pants as she continued to read the adult novel. Gaeul turned the page as her voice grew breathier.

“Meanwhile, Izlude positioned himself behind Lady Agrias, his fingers parting her ass cheeks and pressing his slick cockhead against her tight, virgin hole. She gasped around the Ramza’s length in her mouth while her body tensed as she felt the pressure of the cocks preparing to fill her at once.”

Minho continued to smirk at Gaeul as he stared at her. Gaeul brushed some hair behind her ear as she returned the smile to the book club leader. She bit her lip again before continuing again.

“Izlude pushed forward. The head of his cock spread her ass open and Lady Agrias screamed around Ramza’s shaft. Lady Agrias has never felt so full. Ramza in her mouth, Rad in her pussy, and Izlude in her ass.”

Gaeul’s voice cracked on the last sentence. She looked up from the page and her eyes met Minho’s again. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and thought for a moment. “Gaeul-ssi… that was one of the worst pieces of writing I’ve ever heard.”

“YA! You said you wouldn’t laugh!” Gaeul snapped as she hit him with the worn poorly written book.

“I didn’t laugh!” Minho countered but the grin on his face made it clear he was holding back. “I’m serious, Gaeul-ssi. You normally recommend some pretty good books but this one is terrible.”

Gaeul threatened to hit him with the book again but instead used it to point at his crotch. “How bad could it be if you got hard listening to it?”

“This…this was not from the book but from hearing you say those words…” Minho said as he tried to adjust himself. He cleared his throat. “Look, you clearly enjoy that… genre. There must be better written ones.”

“I don’t know…” Gaeul responded as she flipped through her book. “Yujin gave me this as a gag gift…I was going to throw it away but I read it”

“Ah, I see. Why not get a better one? Looks like you read that one several times.” Minho gestured at the cracked spine.

“I… I can’t just go into a store and buy one myself. And ordering one…I can’t get it delivered at the dorm or my family’s house. Sending it to Starship won’t work either. Someone will open it anywhere I get things delivered. I don’t have anywhere to get more” Gaeul trailed off.

Minho thought for a moment as he stared at the idol. “What if I ordered them for you? You can get them delivered here and pick them up on book club meetings.”

Gaeul blinked at him. “Really? You’d do that for me? What do you get out of it?”

“We do what we did today. After the rest of the club has left, you stick around and you read me the “good parts”. Minho extended out a hand to shake on it. “ Deal?”

Gaeul looked at his outstretched hand for a moment before she shook it. “Deal.”
