—Although the appearance of monsters has increased globally, it’s been revealed that the situation in Korea is the most severe. As of today, the domestic rate of attacks has reached 12.7 percent. Protests calling for swift action are erupting across the nation.
“It’s so damn noisy.”
A middle-aged man with silver hair scowled as he irritably turned off the news broadcast. He spoke to the aide who had been silently waiting nearby.
“What’s the status on the shelter proposal?”
“Chahwa Group responded earlier this morning. Rather than reinforcing existing buildings, they suggested it would be more efficient to construct new shelters in more areas.”
Shelters served as places of refuge when monsters appeared. And when it came to building facilities that could truly protect people from such threats, there was nothing more essential than Chahwa Group’s technology. In the interest of protecting its citizens, the conglomerate had willingly cooperated with the government, constructing countless shelters to date.
Yoo Seok-heon, who was effectively in the middle of his political career, found it distasteful that they had to rely on Chahwa’s power. He held deep resentment toward the current Esper Association—and Chahwa stood firmly behind Association President Cha Eun-hyuk.
In a world plagued by the irregular invasions of monsters and the looming uncertainty of survival, the influence wielded by the Esper Association, an organization comprised of those capable of defeating such threats, was nothing short of immense. If the Association could be brought back under the direct control of the government, it would become a highly useful asset, both politically and in other avenues.
Yet no matter how many attempts were made to arrange meetings, the Association’s leaders had consistently ignored them. Grinding his teeth in frustration, Yoo Seok-heon recalled their cold indifference.
“Here is the list of proposed shelter locations, Assemblyman.”
He accepted the file from his aide and began reading through it.
“Based on our investigation, the Sun-eun-dong residential complex appears to be the most urgent priority. It’s a region that practically lacks access to any nearby shelters.”
“…And the detoxification research?”
“They report no significant progress worth announcing.”
Yoo Seok-heon slammed the file onto his desk and pressed his fingertips into his temples. If they could at least address one of the damages caused by these monsters, perhaps the public outcry would lessen.
Why was it that no Esper with healing powers existed in the world? An absurd hope welled up within him—that someone with the ability to neutralize monster blood might just fall from the sky.

Leaning against my hyung in the bathtub, I listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. The breath that brushed against the crown of my head. The gentle hand gliding across the submerged curve of my abdomen. Everything felt impossibly serene.
If anyone were to witness this—this scene where the two of them existed only for each other, like lovers locked in an intimate embrace—they would never believe that the two had once called each other brothers.
His fingertips suddenly rose and lightly tickled my armpit. I flinched and hunched my shoulders. I thought he’d stop after that reaction—but he didn’t. He just kept doing it.
“Ah, Hyung.”
Unable to endure it, I twisted my body this way and that. He asked lazily,
“What.”
“It tickles.”
Turning to him with a crinkled brow and a smile, I looked up.
His hand paused.
Hyung stared down at me in silence. I blinked, confused by the sudden stillness.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“It’s been a while since I saw you smile like that.”
A large hand came up and cupped one of my cheeks.
It was true—I hadn’t smiled much lately, pretending to be burdened by worry and gloom.
Was my Hyung… moved?
The way he reacted to just a sliver of my smile made him seem both pitiable and endearing. I kept those thoughts to myself and, instead, rubbed my cheek against his palm, feigning shyness.
The pectoral muscles against my back twitched slightly.
“Cha Eun-soo.”
“Yeah.”
He fell silent again, just staring at me. His expression was hard to read.
And yet—suddenly, I realized something.
…There’s not much time left until the end of his turn.
“Hyung?”
I called to him, wondering why he wasn’t saying anything.
Then his face leaned in, partially hidden by the damp strands of hair clinging to his forehead.
His lips touched mine.
Reflexively, I closed my eyes and parted my lips. His tongue slid in, coiling around mine. Warm, wet membranes rubbed together with deliberate friction, sending tingles through me. He licked up the saliva pooled under my tongue and swallowed before finally pulling away.
Opening my eyes, I met his gaze.
“Your smile…”
“Don’t show it to anyone else.”
His voice dropped low, heavy with warning.
“Only smile like that in front of me.”
His face was cold, like he wouldn’t yield on this no matter what.
“If you so much as smile at another bastard… I don’t know what I’ll do.”
His obsidian eyes, thick with obsession and possessiveness, locked onto mine.
It seemed he couldn’t quite control his emotions at the thought of having to let me go soon.
I froze at the sudden shift in mood. His rough words startled me, and my body stiffened.
But I wasn’t entirely ignorant of the twisted feelings he harbored for me—so the shock didn’t last long.
“………”
I reached up and gently touched his face as I answered.
“I will.”
Looking up at him with unquestioning devotion, I saw his thick eyebrows relax slightly. However, his expression hardened again as he heard what followed.
“Anyway, I’ll always be by your side, so there’s no way that could happen.”
I wore a faint smile, feigning ignorance, and then lifted my head to initiate the kiss this time.
For a moment, he remained still, then roughly turned his head to deepen the kiss. I welcomed his thick tongue, gently moving my lower body. My wet buttocks slowly ground against his firm thighs.
His half-erect member, stimulated by the movement, grew harder as it rubbed against my back.
“Mmm…….”
He wrapped his arms around me from the front, teasing my nipples. I let out a soft moan, turning my face to look straight ahead. I could feel his erection pressing firmly against my back.
He lowered his head and bit my neck. The chilling sensation of tender skin being pressed by teeth turned into excitement. I reached back and cradled his head. Since we had already made love and come to the bathroom to clean up, there was no need to hold back.
“Ah…”
I pressed myself closer to him, as if begging him to enter me right then. He exhaled a hot breath. The warmth of his breath on my neck and shoulder made my whole body shiver.
He lifted me by the waist, and soon, the tip of his cock aligned with my entrance. Though the sensation was slightly dulled by the water, the distinct feel of his glans stirred anticipation within me.
“……!”
With a thrust, his hard cock pushed past the entrance, filling me completely. The sensation was so intense it felt like it reached my brain, making me arch my back involuntarily. My insides, already soft and yielding, welcomed him naturally, as if greeting their master.
Every time this happened, I felt like my body was no longer my own.
“Ah!”
“Ugh…….”
He let out a short groan and pulled me into an embrace, pressing his lips firmly against my shoulder in excitement. As I melted into his arms, my hips naturally bent to accommodate him.
“Hah, ah…”
A sigh of both thirst and satisfaction filled my ears. Soon, with a wet sound, his swollen cock began to thrust into me.
“Ah!”
I gripped the arm wrapped around my torso and threw my head back. There was no sensation quite like the feeling of his hard cock inside me.
Thrust after thrust, he moved in and out of me with increasing speed. Moans escaped my lips uncontrollably.
“Ah, ah, ugh…”
“Hah, ugh…”
He repeatedly pulled out his cock until only the tip remained inside me, then thrust it back in forcefully. This was it—a brutal pleasure that made my vision flash white.
The violent movements caused water to splash out of the bathtub. I leaned my head back against his shoulder, helplessly jolted by his thrusts.
My body, warm from the hot water, now felt scorching. Every part of me that touched him burned, but the hottest was where his thick cock relentlessly pounded into me.
“Ah, ah!”
He moved even faster, as if trying to imprint himself on me with a mix of endless lust and anger. It felt like he would have taken me regardless of any signal from me.
I pleaded in broken gasps, afraid I might bite my tongue from the rough movements.
“Slow down, please! A little, ah! Gentler, ah!”
“Ugh, ah…….”
Instead of slowing down, he pressed his hand firmly against my stomach, increasing the pressure. I struggled to breathe, my eyes wide as I thrashed my legs, causing more water to spill over the edge of the tub.
“This, ugh, this is too much……”
Despite his sadistic behavior, he seemed concerned I might accidentally bite my tongue. He forced his fingers into my mouth, pressing down on my upper and lower teeth to keep my jaw open.
“Ugh……! Ah!”
The sensation of being filled completely while my stomach was pressed down was overwhelming. I shook my head, feeling like I was going to lose my mind, but his rough finger rubbed against the roof of my mouth, making my tongue quiver. Saliva dripped shamefully from my chin.
Amidst the splashing sounds of water, he leaned in closer, his voice a harsh whisper in my ear.
“Eun-soo.”
“Ah, mmm, ah….”
“……I love you.”
He growled the words as he continued to thrust into me, as if asserting that if I were to love anyone, it had to be him.
Over and over again.
