Takeya Junâs car followed him at the same speed as he drove at full speed. Wang Han quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Park Tae-sooâs number. He answered the phone as soon as the signal went out and then screamed.
âSecretary Park! We are under attack! Send someone out quickly!â
He also asked that they bring a gun, but the car shook and the cell phone fell. They hit them from behind again as he bent down to pick it up. Wang Han bounced forward and collided with the dashboard. Ugh, he clutched his head and groaned, and Ja-kyung stepped on the gas pedal full force.
Takeya Junâs car caught up with him at a terrifying speed as he accelerated. Takeya Jun rolled down the windows and mercilessly fired his gun from behind and to the side. To avoid the flying bullets, Ja-kyung and Wang Han lowered their bodies. Bullets pierced the seats and shattered the windshield, pouring in like rain.
Fuck. It was difficult to see the attack in a situation where it was difficult to secure sight. Ja-kyung needed to hold on and buy time. Kang Il-hyun must have had a tracker attached to the car. He just hoped his men would arrive as soon as possible.
As the chase continued for more than 30 minutes, the terrifying rain stopped as if it had never happened. While passing over a bridge over a river, a bullet hits the wheel of a car. Bang, the tire burst, and the car skidded at high speed.
He stepped on the brake and adjusted the steering wheel, but it was difficult because it had been raining on the street. The car eventually collided with the pier railing! Bang!!! The airbag exploded as a result of the impact, and Ja-kyung and Wang Hanâs bodies bounced forward before returning to their original positions.
Ja-kyung, who was barely awake, looked in the rearview mirror. Broom, broom, and Junâs car were about to drive right up to them.
âGet out!â
As soon as Ja-kyung hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and jumped out of the driverâs seat, the car came at full speed. The car they were riding in shattered the railing and crashed into the river beneath a bridge. Jun stepped out of the stopped car and loaded his gun. He wore a leather jacket even in the middle of summer, and he had visible scars from the tips of his lips to his cheekbones. He said that it was a scar left by his parents many years ago. And that he killed his parents with his own hands.
He sat leisurely on the bonnet of the car and looked at the two of them.
âItâs been a while, Wei.â
His smile was viciously unwelcoming. Ja-kyung smiled and responded.
âLong time no see, hyung-nim. Your face has gotten better since I havenât seen you.â
âIâve heard about you. They say youâve been tasted by men and even treated them with your body these days?â
Ja-kyung wrinkled his brow. Wang Han intervened in the middle.
âJun. Donât be like this. Wei was your colleague.â
âA colleague? That weakling?â
He openly scoffed. Ja-kyung looked back once more. The river flowed quickly after heavy rain. It appeared that if they jumped down, their lives would be saved, but the problem was that they would almost certainly get shot. He approached Wang Han with caution. Ja-kyung considered pushing him away and dumping him in the water.
But Jun noticed it like a ghost and switched the muzzle from Ja-kyung to Wang Han.
âWei. Donât play tricks.â
Ja-kyung glared at him.
âTake my life. Han hyung did nothing wrong.â
Jun cackled loudly. It was a terribly unpleasant sound.
âYouâre still the same. Pretending to be a hero when youâre a murderer.â
He brought up the past. Takeya Jun kidnapped the 6-year-old son of a high-ranking official who was attempting to flee to another country while they were working together. He intended to send the child to the parents in pieces. However, Ja-kyung secretly released the child, and everything went to waste.
This time, Wang Han asked politely.
âLet Wei go. Instead, I will pay the debt.â
âYou fools. Donât be ridiculous. I will kill all of you anyway.â
He shifted the muzzle to the left and right. Who will be the first to have their head blown off? Ja-kyung took another step back. Wang Han moves along as well, possibly realizing his intention. Jump off the bridge at the same time if necessary. They were only looking for opportunities to jump off the bridge. As they wait for their chance, they hear the sound of a crash.
It was around this time. The moment Ja-kyung touched the handrail, a car rushing from the other side crossed the boundary line and crashed into Takeya Jun. His body flew like a feather and landed on the ground. Ja-kyung stood firm on the railing, and Wang Han couldnât hide his surprise.
Takeya Jun, who fell to the ground, did not even move as if he had lost consciousness. Kang Il-hyun and Park Tae-soo got out of the stopped car. He was the first to check on Ja-kyungâs safety, his eyes scanning every nook and cranny of his body.
âAre you okay?â
Ja-kyung nodded. He never dreamed that Il-hyun would come to him in person. Il-hyun took out a gun and threw it at Ja-kyung. As he accepted it, Il-hyun raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
âYou canât even act, and now you forgot your gun.â
Ja-kyung, who was loading his gun, averted his gaze, embarrassed. Il-hyun returned his gaze to Park Tae-soo, who had been riding alongside him.
âTae-soo, this means we got scammed, right? Shouldnât we sue?â
When Ja-kyung tried to approach Jun with a loaded gun, Park Tae-soo went first and grabbed Jun from behind. He seemed to be trying to forcefully lift him up and place him in the car. His clothes were tattered, revealing a tattoo between his shoulders. Il-hyun went straight to Jun and lifted his top after discovering the tattoo.
His eyes narrowed when he noticed he had the same tattoo as Lee Ja-kyungâs on his shoulder.
Jun, who had briefly lost consciousness, pulled a knife from his sleeve. The knife tip flew like lightning aimed at Il-hyunâs carotid artery. Il-hyun immediately grabbed and twisted his arm. His arm was twisted and bent backward as the knife fell to the ground.
Crack, with the sound of bones snapping, Jun screamed. Kang Il-hyun caused his bones to rip and protrude. Aargh! Jun screamed, grabbed his arm, and fell forward. Il-hyun crouched in front of him, violently grabbing his hair, and staring at him.
âWhatâs your relationship with Lee Ja-kyung?
Even though Jun was in pain, he held on to his broken wrist and laughed.
âAre you curious?â
Ja-kyung let out a sigh. Jun shouldnât have said a word. If he does, heâll die. But Takeya Jun was more stupid than Ja-kyung thought.
âWeâre very close. Isnât that right, Wei?â
Jun looked at Ja-kyung, and at the same time, Il-hyun looked back. Ja-kyung, who received the two menâs gazes, returned the stares with a look of disbelief.
Il-hyun asked with a sad face.
âBabe. You said I was your first man.â
Il-hyunâs eyes and expression were the same as they had been the night he swung the axe. Ja-kyung tried in vain to explain that his relationship with Jun was not as Il-hyun thinks. Takeya Jun spoke even harder.
âHow does that guyâs ass taste? Itâs awesome, right?â
Il-hyunâs eyes moved back to Jun.
A man with the same tattoo as Lee Ja-kyung. Same job. Ah fuck. I donât like it.
âDonât look at me so arrogantly.â
Jun laughed.
âWhy. You will pluck my eye-.â
Il-hyun covered Junâs face before he could finish his sentence. Jun trembled as Il-hyunâs left thumb dug under his right eye. Aaaaargh. Park Tae-soo grabbed Jun from behind as he struggled. Il-hyun quickly inserted his fingers into Junâs eye and pulled out the slippery eyeball in an instant.
Aaaaargh. Junâs limbs trembled with an ear-piercing scream. Ja-kyung standing behind watched the scene with his mouth shut. Jun clutched his bloody face and struggled in pain.
Il-hyun grabbed his chin and forced him to look at his face. Then, he put the right eyeball he had just plucked out into his left eye and smiled terribly. Junâs eyes, which had been arrogant, were slowly eroded by fear.
âHello? Say hello. Itâs your right eye.â
While shaking, Jun gritted his teeth and glared at Kang Il-hyun.
âWould you like to repeat what you said earlier?â
ââŠâ
âHow was Lee Ja-kyung?â
Kang Il-hyun bursts the eyeballs in his hands with force when there was no response. Kang Il-hyunâs cheeks were splattered with blood and unidentified lumps. He rubbed his hands over the things on his cheeks, tasted them, and spit them out.
âEyeballs donât have much taste.â
Jun Takeya, who was trembling and clenching his teeth, slowly lowered his gaze. Heâs a devil. Heâs a real devil.
âTell me. Or, do you want me to pluck out the remaining eyeballs too?â
ââŠâ
âDonât you want to feel what itâs like to be chased in the dark for the rest of your life?â
Il-hyun stands up when Ja-kyung tells him to stop. Ja-kyung trembled as he saw Il-hyunâs bloodied hands and crushed eyeballs. And now his eyes were in danger.
âWeâre not friends! Heâs just a colleague I knew before.â
Kang Il-hyun took out a handkerchief, wiped his cheeks and hands, and smiled affectionately unlike a while ago.
âAbout that, Iâll find out when we go home and check it out.â
He smiled, but his tone was completely cold. He soon called for Tae-soo and had him lift Takeya Jun into the trunk of his car. Tae-soo shoves the groaning Jun into the trunk and slammed the door.
Ja-kyung went to Il-hyunâs side and talked to him several times. He told him to just kill Jun here, bury him, or whatever since they werenât together, but it didnât work. Eventually, he was thrown into the backseat of a car with Wang Han and went home.
The whole way home, the car was as silent as a dead rat. If Wang Lun was there, he would have made some silly jokes, but his absence was disappointing today. After about 20 minutes, Kang Il-hyun finally spoke up.
âTae-soo.â
âYes, sir.â
âDo you know how to make sashimi?â
âI learned it before.â
Why sashimi all of sudden? He wondered if Il-hyun really wanted to eat sashimi in this atmosphere. However, what Kang Il-hyun said was something Ja-kyung never imagined.
âGood. I need you to remove the tattoos on Ja-kyungâs back.â
Ja-kyung, who was distraughtly looking out the window, opened his eyes wide and looked ahead. Kang Il-hyun ignored him and did not respond when he asked what he had just said. Sashimi. Sashimi, he wasnât even flatfish or rockfish! Ja-kyung was flabbergasted, but the only response he received was a threat to shut up and sit still.
