Lee Chang was a little dazed when Mingyu finally and suddenly released him, falling back to the bed for a moment just to groan in disappointment. But he really did need to go. He’d never understood councillors who lapsed in their duties to spend time with courtesans before, but he was starting to, now.
He swung his legs over the side, and tried to rearrange his robes to hide his - ah - obvious excitement. It was a little of a lost cause but at least maybe it wouldn’t be immediately visible when he left the room.
“Are--” No, wrong question. Mingyu was definitely working, and asking him if he was going to was just going to make Lee Chang feel worse. He changed tack. “How late are you working tonight? Will you need a drink after?”
He couldn’t bring himself to ask Can I come see you tonight, not willing to hear or think about himself in the same group as all the other men who came to Mingyu’s bed. Even though, by all rights, and Mingyu’s admission, he was barely any different than any of them.
