Seo Won stroked Cha Han-gyeom’s head, noticing his troubled expression, and said,
“Yoon Jeong-ho would naturally wish for my death since he would gain everything if I died. Ha Tae-soo would also regret the lifespan he couldn’t take.”
Seo Won gazed out at the distant sea, as if looking towards the mansion where Ha Tae-soo and Yoon Jeong-ho remained.
“But because of the contract, they can’t kill me even if they want to. In fact, they have to protect me to avoid losing everything.”
Seo Won was well aware of the constraints imposed by the contract.
Knowing this, he kept Yoon Jeong-ho close and used him to his advantage.
Yoon Jeong-ho, understanding his own situation, reluctantly complied like a puppet on a string, even though he knew he was being used. Of course, he did so because there were appropriate rewards and benefits, but ultimately, it was a relationship that neither of them could escape.
It was similar to how Chairman Seo, who had lost many family members, kept his enemy Ha Tae-soo close and utilized his abilities.
In such a situation, Yoon Jeong-ho and Ha Tae-soo, as if they had planned it, took Cha Han-gyeom away and spoke to him about various things. Seo Won could easily guess what they had said.
Seo Won murmured softly as he stroked Cha Han-gyeom’s head, which he had been holding,
“So, they asked you to kill me….”
The reason Seo Won took Cha Han-gyeom to Chairman Seo’s mansion was not solely because of his promise to Yoon Jeong-ho.
It was easy to infer that Ha Tae-soo and Yoon Jeong-ho had joined forces. The question was how they planned to ‘use’ Cha Han-gyeom.
To allow Ha Tae-soo, who could not leave the annex of Chairman Seo’s mansion, to contact Cha Han-gyeom, it was necessary to enter his area of movement. As expected, Ha Tae-soo made contact with Cha Han-gyeom, and Yoon Jeong-ho, who was likely working with him, also appeared at the annex at the right time.
Perhaps it was simply because Cha Han-gyeom was ‘Seo Won’s only guide,’ or perhaps they had noticed the Imprint. Either way, Seo Won’s life was connected to their interests.
But they had asked Cha Han-gyeom to kill him.
This was likely the truth.
Cha Han-gyeom, who knew nothing about his family’s secrets or the contract, would not have said such a thing out of the blue. It was a statement he could make only after receiving sufficient information, and there was no need for him to lie.
‘Does Cha Han-gyeom have a way to kill me?’
For instance, perhaps they intended to make him go berserk by not receiving guidance, as his previous Imprinted person had done.
‘But they would know that forcing guidance is impossible with the tools available, so….’
There might be an ability of Cha Han-gyeom’s that Seo Won was unaware of.
They likely intended to use this to make him die by a method other than ‘murder.’ Since Cha Han-gyeom directly killing him would be detrimental to them.
‘Interesting’
The fact that Ha Tae-soo and Yoon Jeong-ho had manipulated Cha Han-gyeom to kill him was not pleasing. The audacity of them trying to use him was irritating.
Separate from that, the fact that they had gone to such lengths proved that this fragile and delicate man had a way to kill him other than murder.
He was the one he should avoid the most.
But at the same time, he was the guide he needed most in the world, someone he never wanted to leave his side.
So how could this irony not be amusing?
Looking at Seo Won, who seemed strangely happy, Cha Han-gyeom asked with a serious expression,
“Aren’t you curious about what my answer was?”
“Who knows.”
He had no intention of guessing. He also had no intention of pressing for an answer.
So he replied half-jokingly,
“Whatever you answered, I won’t die anyway.”
Unlike the wishes of all of Chairman Seo’s family, he was the only one who had survived. He alone had overcome the curse that had killed them.
Having overcome even the curse, he intended to survive tenaciously until his lifespan ran out, no matter who pointed a knife at him.
“You’re very confident,” Cha Han-gyeom said, rolling his eyes. Seo Won chuckled softly and gently pulled Cha Han-gyeom’s head closer.
“I have to be.”
Seo Won leaned in and kissed Cha Han-gyeom’s lips.
“Just by touching like this, I know what you’ll do for me.”
The soft lips, wrapped in the sea breeze, rubbed pleasantly against each other with the whisper.
Between the lips that opened like a habit, a sweet breath flowed out. Seo Won kissed him tightly so that the breath would not scatter in the sea breeze.
“Hm…”
A reddish hue emerged from the slightly lowered eyelashes that trembled with the moan. The beautifully changing red eyes trembled as finely as the hair fluttering in the breeze.
Just as their lips naturally parted with each kiss, Cha Han-gyeom’s guidance was almost a conditioned reflex. Whenever there was a moment of contact, his eyes would inevitably turn red.
It was so lovable.
Because it was a sign of keeping him alive.
“He said that he lives to guide you. Since he can’t lie in front of me, that much is believable.”
Just as Chairman Seo had said with a satisfied expression, Cha Han-gyeom lived to guide him. Even as he moaned in his arms, his guidance did not stop, and he rubbed his flesh wet with saliva to touch more.
His heart raced. It pounded so hard that he felt like he was seasick.
The guidance flowing in through the kiss made his lower body pleasantly numb. The unintended moans that escaped from their touching lips blended with the sound of the rippling sea, adding a sensual undertone.
“Mm, ah….”
Seo Won sucked on Cha Han-gyeom’s tongue as if to devour it, then gently teased the back of his throat with his own. Cha Han-gyeom’s pale hand trembled as it clung to Seo Won’s arm, which seemed to please him, encouraging him to deepen the kiss.
After a period of restraint, a single passionate kiss was enough to make things uncomfortable in his pants.
‘I can’t hold back any longer,’ Seo Won thought, his breath ragged as he lifted Cha Han-gyeom into his arms.
“Ah, Seo Won… mmph….”
Caught off guard by being suddenly lifted mid-kiss, Cha Han-gyeom gasped Seo Won’s name, only to be silenced by another fervent kiss. The kiss was so intense that Cha Han-gyeom could barely breathe, his arms wrapping around Seo Won’s neck as he eagerly responded.
Seo Won carried Cha Han-gyeom effortlessly to the sandy shore before finally breaking the kiss. Their faces, flushed with desire, gazed at each other, the cool sea breeze doing little to dampen their heated expressions.
Seo Won gently licked the saliva-smeared lips of Cha Han-gyeom and whispered,
“It might be quite challenging, but should we hold back for now?”
In truth, he already knew the answer. Given their recent lack of proper intimacy, he was certain that Cha Han-gyeom would not push him away.
Cha Han-gyeom lightly bit Seo Won’s tongue, which had been teasing his lips, and replied,
“Don’t hold back.”
His eyes, still glowing red, looked up at Seo Won with an intense gaze.
“Do as you please, don’t hold back.”
Seo Won smiled and playfully bit Cha Han-gyeom’s lip in return, then carried him towards their car, walking across the sandy beach.
Inside the car, parked comfortably among a row of security vehicles, the sound of wet, passionate kisses and moans filled the air.
“Ah, ah! Mm, ah….!”
Sitting on Seo Won’s lap, Cha Han-gyeom struggled to take him in, biting his lip to suppress his moans.
“You told me not to hold back, so why are you?” Seo Won asked, his voice husky. “Just let it out.”
“But… ah, if I move… ah, ah!” Cha Han-gyeom gasped, his face buried in Seo Won’s shoulder, his body trembling but still trying to hold back his sounds.
“Just… just wait a moment… don’t move…” he pleaded, his voice broken and breathless.
Even with Seo Won’s careful movements, the sensation was overwhelming, making it hard for Cha Han-gyeom to breathe. If he could have moaned freely, it might have been easier, but the confined space of the car made him conscious of the noise, causing him to keep his mouth shut and making breathing even more difficult.
Seo Won gently stroked Cha Han-gyeom’s trembling backside, which had taken him in completely. He thought he had prepared him enough to avoid discomfort, but the current position seemed to make it quite challenging for Cha Han-gyeom.
“Should we stop?” Seo Won asked, though he didn’t mean it. He wanted to continue, even if Cha Han-gyeom asked to stop.
Fortunately, Cha Han-gyeom, who was leaning on his shoulder, shook his head.
“You can keep going….”
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
“It’s okay… now….”
Cha Han-gyeom turned his head slightly to look at Seo Won, his eyes glistening with a beautiful red hue that matched his flushed cheeks.
“Fuck me hard….”
Seo Won wondered where he had learned such provocative words.
Thanks to that, the thin thread of Seo Won’s self-control snapped instantly.
