Even when he opened his eyes, the room was pitch black. He didn’t realize lunch had passed until he fumbled with his hand to check the time. The blinds were raised and sunlight streamed into the bedroom with the press of a button. Ja-kyung rose from his seat with a swollen face.

He groaned spontaneously as pain rose from his tailbone. Kang Il-hyun had been hugging him from behind until dawn, but he had disappeared before he knew it. He crept under the bed after looking at the empty place where he was lying down. Clothes were strewn across the floor, along with the wet towel used to wipe his body.

He went into the restroom and took a cigarette. He was about to light it when he caught sight of himself in the mirror. There was no place left untouched. Anyone would have assumed it was a contagious disease. There were visible kiss marks on the body as well as under the chin, and faint teeth marks on the cheeks. and faint teeth marks on the cheeks. At this point, he should’ve just eaten him whole.

Grinding his teeth, he lit the cigarette and came out. Kang Il-hyun had brought a lot of patches to the table the day before. He doubted whether he expected this when he wondered why he brought so many patches.

He took off the patches one by one and placed them around his neck. He went outside after smoking a cigarette and changing his clothes. He stood in the hallway and knocked on the next room’s door. It was completely silent. He heard a loud noise as he walked downstairs.

Wang Han and Wang Lun were conversing with the house chef at the table when he arrived. He was greeted by the house chef who had first discovered Ja-kyung.

“Are you up?”

Wang Han and Wang Lun looked back.

“You’re up.”

“Come over here and have lunch. This person cooked the food and it was really delicious.”

The two looked comfortable as if they were at home. Ja-kyung sat on the other side of the table, his face expressionless. Wang Lun then leaned forward and asked.

“Are you okay?”

Ja-kyung raised his eyes and looked at Wang Lun.

“What?”

“Do you want me to bring you a cushion? Would you like to sit on it?”

When Ja-kyung frowned, Wang Han told Wang Lun not to do it and slapped him on the side. Wang Lun swallowed his laughter and placed the food in his mouth. His cheeks twitched even more. Ja-kyung clenched his teeth and glared at him. Damn, they heard it all.

He will be teased for this for another hundred years. He had no idea about Wang Han, but Wang Lun is still the same. He was teased for years as a child for peeing in his pants after being chased by a dog. He cursed Kang Il-hyun inwardly while grinding his teeth. Who is he blaming? He should have just kicked him out, but he went all out for sucking his dick once.

After dinner, the three of them went outside and sat next to each other near the pool. When an employee asked if he could bring tea, he politely declined and smoked a cigarette after looking around to see if anything could be cracked. Bodyguards were passing by, but they paid no attention to this side. Rather, they widened the gap so they could talk and then withdrew.

Instead, there were CCTV cameras set up all over the place. He didn’t think he needed to be aware of it, so the three of them sat comfortably and talked.

“Have you thought about it?”

Wang Han asked Ja-kyung, and Wang Lun giggled.

“Did he have the energy to do that yesterday?”

“Lun hyung. Shut that mouth.”

“Could it be that the tooth marks on your cheeks were also made by CEO Kang? Is he as fierce as his personality?”

Ja-kyung frowned while smoking a cigarette and threatened to shoot him if he continued. Wang Han came forward and scolded the two. Now is not the time to crack jokes about such things. Wang Lun raised his bandaged hand after speaking.

“I agree. A year is not a long time, and I think it is appropriate. I’m tired of running around anymore but good for you. And he pays us a lot of money.”

Wang Han’s gaze shifted to Ja-kyung. Ja-kyung smoked a cigarette and thought for a while before opening his mouth.

“For now, I agree.”

Even if he refused, Kang Il-hyun would do anything to get him to sign the contract. Maybe he’ll cut off his hand instead and get in trouble. He was still a human. Ja-kyung lowered his voice after looking around and confirming that no one was nearby.

“Let’s get out in the middle instead.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m saying running away after getting paid.”

Both of their eyes widened.

“Wasn’t that yesterday a joke?”

“I meant it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Wang Lun’s lips began to rise. Such a cute kid. He grabbed Ja-kyung’s face and tried to kiss him, but Ja-kyung pushed his face away.

However, Wang Han’s expression was quite serious.

“Will it be okay?”

“Do you think that human nature will keep us alive even if the job is over? It is also a problem that Kang Il-hyun’s father finds out. Then they’ll be after our lives, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to stay here for a year. I think the best approach is to solve a few things in moderation and then leave.”

“Hmm.”

“We’ll have to live in hiding for a while, but that’s our specialty.”

While Wang Han was agonizing, Ja-kyung glared at Wang Lun.

“If Hyung doesn’t come to Korea, he won’t be caught easily.”

Wang Lun sighs and clears his throat. He came to Korea on his own to see his girlfriend, and he also went to the cathedral. But he had no idea they would arrive so soon. If he received money, he planned to change his identity and spend the rest of his life with his girlfriend in a place with clean air, such as Norway or New Zealand.

Wang Han, the eldest brother, struggled to make a decision. Betrayal… It’s a common occurrence in this field, but so far, Ja-kyung’s choice has always been different. He stated that trust comes first, but he has already hit the back of Kang Il-hyun’s head for the second time. Of course, the first cause was provided by Kang Il-hyun.

He sighed in confusion, unable to provide a definitive answer. He wondered if it would be all right. As a team leader, it was a difficult decision. With Kang Il-hyun’s personality, if something went wrong, all three of them would be killed right away.

***

Chairman Kang smoked his cigar and examined the documents Il-hyun was holding out. A report about a project to build a hotel and a shopping mall on Jeju Island was promoted. The work went more smoothly than expected, but the problem was that if this project solidified Kang Il-hyun’s position, more executives would follow him. At a time when Kang Tae-han is not showing any significant results.

“Not bad.”

Il-hyun smiled. He knew better than anyone that he disagreed with what he said. Chairman Kang treated Il-hyun as if nothing had happened after the incident a year ago. It was the same with Il-hyun.

Lee Ja-kyung provided a USB drive, but it contained evidence that he was targeting Chairman Kang. After all, it’s the starting point. The two were spending each day like any other rich man, looking for an opportunity to bite each other’s neck.

“But since the Directors strongly oppose it, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

You should. Il-hyun nodded and smiled. It was not opposed by the directors, but by Chairman Kang’s order. No matter how old they were, they could not ignore his influence in the company.

In addition, there was a steady stream of talks about holding a general meeting soon to decide on a successor. If that happens, Chairman Kang, who has a lot of stakes, will have an advantage. Il-hyun laughed inwardly, but on the outside, he pretended to be calm and nodded and drank tea. The taste of bitter brewed tea was just like his insides.

He went outside and headed downstairs to his office after the conversation. He turned on the TV as soon as he walked in, using the remote control. When he switched the channel, CCTV screens inside and outside the house appeared in a split screen. Lee Ja-kyung and the two Wang brothers have gathered in front of the swimming pool.

The screen enlarges when the button is pressed. Tae-soo, who came in after him, took a moment to look at the screen.

“Shall we listen to them?”

Il-hyun smiled and took out a cigarette.

“Leave it. At best, they must be making plans to run away after getting paid.”

He lit it, inhaled deeply enough to make his cheeks thin, and then exhaled. He couldn’t see Lee Ja-kyung’s face in detail on the screen, but he seemed happy. However, Tae-soo, who was standing next to him, had an unusually dark face. He knew exactly what he was worried about. Wouldn’t it be difficult to point a gun at him again after the first time?

“Are you worried?”

“No.”

“Anyway, Lee Ja-kyung currently does not trust me. I have no choice but to calm him down by making the necessary adjustments.”

He wasn’t sure if he wanted to have him or play with him because it was fun. But he knew it wasn’t a feeling that would go away easily. The issue is that Lee Ja-kyung has no intention of doing that with him. It’s no different than a high-priced masturbation device that only provides pleasure. Thinking about that makes him more bitter than when he was facing Chairman Kang earlier.

Three people on the screen rose to their feet at the same time. He had no idea what Wang Lun had said, but Ja-kyung smacked him across the shoulder. Ja-kyung immediately grabbed his waist and bent his upper body as if it hurt. He could almost hear him swearing off the screen.

A smile crept across Il-hyun’s lips as he looked at the screen.

“Doesn’t it seem like they have come to a rough conclusion?”

“Yes.”

“Check Choi Man-sik’s personal information, range of conduct, and schedule, and bring it to me in the evening. Tell him to start working right away.”

Tae-soo bowed his head. Il-hyun leaned back on the sofa, smoking a cigarette. As Lee Ja-kyung moved, the screen changed. When he was with his brothers, he seemed much more comfortable than when he was with him. Nonetheless, he occasionally touched his waist.

He was far too harsh yesterday, he reflected on himself for a moment. The repeated action reminded him of his sexy face on the bed, and the lower part of his body became stiff.
