Knock, knock, Ja-kyung, who knocked, hesitated for a moment before entering. The model in the second-floor living room had disappeared, so he wondered where it had gone, and it was in Kang Il-hyun’s bedroom. Ja-kyung looked at it in bewilderment, but the bathroom door opened and Kang Il-hyun came out, shaking his head and wearing only a towel over his lower body.
The man with a damp face and wet bangs was not the man who appeared to be a murderer just a moment ago. It wasn’t like Ja-kyung hadn’t seen the naked body in a few days, but he was embarrassed and averted my gaze elsewhere.
“I was going to come down after washing up, but it seem you couldn’t wait and came here.”
Ja-kyung frowned. He heard from Park Tae-soo that Il-hyun told him to come here. Ja-kyung didn’t know who was telling the truth but seeing Il-hyun’s smile made him more inclined to believe in Park Tae-soo, whom he was not close with. Il-hyun took off the towel that was covering him.
Ja-kyung’s mouth dropped open when she saw Il-hyun’s dick poking out hard. A full erection for 24 hours. Il-hyun casually pulled on his gray robe and walked over to the couch as he tied the laces. As he sat down across from Ja-kyung with his legs apart, his robe fell open, revealing a barely contained dick.
Kang Il-hyun smiles blatantly after noticing the gaze.
“Stop staring at me if you’re not going to suck me up.”
It was ridiculous. Il-hyun was so naked and had his crotch open, but he told him not to look. Ja-kyung scolded him and threw a cushion at him, but it was in vain. Finally, Ja-kyung had to avoid his gaze on his own. Il-hyun lit a cigarette and handed Ja-kyung the brown paper bag next to the table.
Ja-kyung took it and looked inside. It contained simple documents, an airline ticket to Hawaii, as well as business cards and photos of strangers. Surprisingly, the ticket’s departure date is two days later. The photo was taken in Hawaii, but the man was dressed in a black suit, so you might think it’s fake at first glance.
“Yoon Soo-hyun. He is the person in charge who will take care of you there. He’ll pick you up at the airport, so familiarize yourself with his face.”
The word “care” got on his nerves. Am I a kid? Ja-kyung showed protesting eyes, but his attitude was firm. Along with a few precautions, he repeatedly asked him not to move alone just in case.
Ja-kyung didn’t like the fact that Il-hyun already made up his mind before he had even given him a clear answer. Il-hyun asked him bluntly as if he realized it.
“You don’t want to go?”
“Rather than not wanting to
”
Ja-kyung blurted out his words. Then he remembered the people in the living room. After washing and coming down from the second floor, they had left.
“The people in the living room earlier.”
“Yeah.”
“Are they new hires?”
Il-hyun nodded.
“Then isn’t it a loss to you? If you’re going to pay them to make fun of me, why did you keep me?”
Il-hyun extinguished his cigarette and smiled sadly.
“Are you asking because you really don’t know, or are you pretending?”
Ja-kyung mouth tightened. Do you really like me? The words that couldn’t come out of his throat racked up in layers. Ja-kyung had been questioning him since the moment he began to believe in him and want to protect him. Is it possible for someone who hates his own family to love others?
Likewise, Ja-kyung had never truly loved anyone. He was lonely both physically and mentally, so he only met and relied on them for a short time. So he didn’t understand Wang Lun’s attitude, in which he resents his lover for betraying him but also misses her and can’t forget her.
“If there is something you want to say, say it.”
Il-hyun seemed to be aware that Ja-kyung was thinking a lot, so he spoke first. Ja-kyung clenched his jaw and shook his head. Then he packed up the documents. Nothing would change now. Il-hyun was the boss, and he had to follow his orders.
“Are they trustworthy?”
Just in case, he checked again. Il-hyun smiled and got up and came to sit next to Ja-kyung. Il-hyun smells like peaches. Though Ja-kyung thought it didn’t suit him, he unknowingly put his nose close and sniffed the scent.
Il-hyun pulled Ja-kyung in with his arms around his shoulders. Il-hyun grabbed Ja-kyung’s escaping hand, interlocked his fingers, and tilted his head to meet his eyes. Surprisingly, this was more embarrassing than having sex with this man. As he tried to pull away, Il-hyun leaned his head on Ja-kyung’s shoulder. It was not like his shoulder was going to break, so Ja-kyung let him be.
“Are you worried about me?”
“No way.”
“Even if I can’t shoot a gun better than you, I’m better at acting than you.”
Ja-kyung shook his head and pushed Il-hyun away. Don’t make that sound. Il-hyun pushed him when he loses his temper. His dick poked through the sheer robe and rubbed up against Ja-kyung’s thigh. He struggled to get up, but it wasn’t easy with Il-hyun already on top of him.
“Ah! Get off me.”
“Please get out of the way, try saying it sweetly.”
Ja-kyung narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth reluctantly, chewing and spitting out word by word.
“Please, get, out, of, the, way.”
Il-hyun replied immediately with a smile.
“No.”
Haa. Ja-kyung was debating whether or not to punch him before leaving the country, but then Il-hyun moved behind Ja-kyung. The sofa was spacious, but it was too small for two people to lie on. Il-hyun hugged Ja-kyung from behind. He barely made it to the end of the sofa before wrapping his arms around his waist and pulling him.
Ja-kyung heard the sound of Il-hyun’s heart pounding as his hard chest was against his back. Ja-kyung tried to get away, but this time Il-hyun hugged him tighter. The bedroom was as quiet as a dead rat, and lying back on his chest made Ja-kyung feel strange.
Il-hyun put his arm under Ja-kyung’s head to make a pillow and patted him on the shoulder.
“I’ll put you to sleep.”
When he refused, Il-hyun hummed an unfamiliar song. When Ja-kyung asked what song it was, he said he didn’t know.
Come to think of it, Ja-kyung couldn’t recall ever hearing a proper lullaby from anyone since he was born.
“CEO Kang, did anyone sing you a lullaby when you were little?”
“No. I’ve slept alone since I was a baby.”
“Wasn’t it scary?”
“Not really. What should I be afraid of?”
“Something like a ghost
”
“There are no ghosts.”
Ja-kyung blinked his eyes. When he was staying in the Philippines before, he had seen a ghost with Wang Han in an old hotel. He didn’t see it clearly, but a white object flashed in front of his eyes. When he thought of that moment, chills run down his spine.
“There is. I saw it.”
Il-hyun laughed.
“You believe in ghosts, but how come you still kill people.”
Come to think of it, he’s right. Ja-kyung became hot for no reason.
“Is there anything else you’re scared of besides ghosts?”
Ja-kyung thought deeply. Anything with more than six legs is scary, including cockroaches. That was why he like snakes. Because it has no legs. He was afraid of his dead parents, who appeared to him in his dreams and tried to kill him, and
 There didn’t seem to be anymore.
“Will you tell me about your childhood? I’m curious.”
For the first time, Il-hyun asked about Ja-kyung’s childhood. He touched Ja-kyung’s ear when he didn’t respond.
It was a past Ja-kyung didn’t want to recall. There was a part of him that wished he’d just died rather than go through the same hellish cycle of being beaten, delivering drugs, starving, and being beaten again. His brown eyes were still, staring into one place. He felt his brain pause for a moment as his memory flashed back to that time.
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to.”
Il-hyun withdraws unexpectedly. The hand that had been touching his ear stroked his hair. He felt sleepy at the gentle touch. The sofa, which he had just considered uncomfortable, was actually more comfortable than he had thought, and his eyelids sank speedily.
Ja-kyung got up and tried to go upstairs, but he was caught again.
“I feel sleepy
”
“Sleep here, I’ll carry you to your bed.”
Ja-kyung laughed. It was so funny to imagine.
“Am I a princess?”
“There is no law that says a prince must carry a princess. I can be your princess if you want.”
His tone and touch were soft. He closed his eyes and Il-hyun continued to sing an unknown song. The sound of his voice was pleasing to the ear.
***
Ja-kyung, who had been tossing and turning in his sleep, opened his eyes. The bedroom was dark because the light was turned off. He searched his way to the side, but it was empty. He flipped on the bedside lamp and took a look around. He knew that Il-hyun was carrying him in his sleep, but Il-hyun left him alone. He wondered when Il-hyun left.
Ja-kyung got out of bed. The papers Il-hyun had handed him earlier were still on the table.
He walked out of the bedroom and found Il-hyun standing in front of the living room window. His expression as he stared out the window while holding a glass was so handsome. The dawn sky’s blue light poured down on him, and the atmosphere was that of a beast about to go hunting.
When he saw Ja-kyung, he immediately changes his expression and smiled.
“You’re awake?”
There’s an empty bottle of wine on the table in front of the couch. Ja-kyung couldn’t believe Il-hyun drank all of that, but his face was too fresh for that.
“Have you been drinking this whole time?”
“Yeah. I can’t sleep.”
Ja-kyung approached him, snatched the half-left cup, and placed it in his mouth. He drank two sips and it was immediately confiscated.
“Don’t drink. I’m afraid of your drunkenness.”
“
”
“Though the jealousy felt good.”
Ja-kyung glared at him as Il-hyun smiled. He protested that it wasn’t jealousy, but Il-hyun didn’t believe him. The gaze that used to be directed at the window has now turned to Ja-kyung. Instead of hostility, there was affection and lust in his eyes. His face came closer, and Ja-kyung didn’t avoid him.
Il-hyun’s fingertips rubbed Ja-kyung’s lips and then parted them in the middle.
“Suck it.”
Ja-kyung hesitantly moved his tongue and licked Il-hyun’s fingers in his mouth. Ja-kyung was not even drunk after two sips, but his body moved on its own. Il-hyun smiled and clasped their upper bodies close together, whispering softly into Ja-kyung’s ear.
“I thought I was going crazy because I wanted to torture you while you were sleeping.”
