“Our younger one, no, my second brother’s driver, what’s your name?”
“…Choi Jaekyung.”
“I see, Choi Jaekyung. …Driver Choi is… an alpha, huh?”
You just realized that now? I chuckled, muttering it like a joke. Everything felt fun and moving.
“Driver Choi.”
“Yes.”
“Please turn on some music. I want to hear music.”
I tried to catch the musical notes floating before my eyes but couldn’t. Can you catch these notes for me? I asked, reaching my hand into the air, and Choi Jaekyung turned on some music at a low volume with a small sigh.
“It’s so sad.”
I muttered, lying stretched out in the back seat, curled up on my side.
“It’s so sad but I’m having fun. I want to cry but I keep laughing.”
“What… did you take?”
“Marijuana, he said. There were also some powder drugs, pills, and they were passing around syringes, but I don’t know what those were. I didn’t want to do it, but he said he wouldn’t let me leave if I didn’t.”
Even while complaining, I couldn’t help laughing. I was looking up at the car ceiling but couldn’t hold back my laughter. The slow music, whatever it was, stuck to my ears like sweet chocolate.
Speaking of chocolate, it reminds me of Kwon Yikang. When his sweet pheromones settled on my skin, I would get so excited I felt like I could climax at any moment.
The tiny dust particles floating in the air gathered to form a large lump. I kneaded it firmly with my hands to make arms and legs. I also made a big cock, a broad chest, and a gentle face.
“I want to go, Driver Choi.”
“I know Lee driver’s contact information, so I’ll call him right away.”
“No, not Lee driver.”
“…”
“Call my boyfriend and tell him to come pick me up. I miss him.”
“I’m sorry, but this is a place where it would be problematic if others knew about it…”
“Then I’ll just go myself. I’ll call from somewhere else. It’s okay. Don’t make that face. I feel really good right now.”
I wriggled around and raised myself up from my lying position. I took out my phone and dialed Kwon Yikang’s number.
“Young master.”
Choi Jaekyung, sitting in the driver’s seat, turned around as if trying to stop me. I raised my finger to my lips and shushed him.
“Quiet, quiet. My boyfriend will misunderstand. He told me not to be with alphas.”
Choi Jaekyung’s lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, tickling my finger.
“Hello.”
“Why did you take so long to answer?”
“Cha Sukyung?”
“Yeah, it’s me. Does my voice sound strange?”
“…Have you been drinking?”
No, I smoked something else. But strangely, it feels similar to when I’ve had alcohol. When I’d get pleasantly drunk and take a drag of a cigarette, my head would spin with a “ping,” just like now.
The feeling of my lightened body floating up to the sky. The roads winding like an artistic maze, stars pouring down like a meteor shower, and the world that had been especially harsh suddenly becoming kind to me.
“Come pick me up. I feel sad but I keep laughing because I’m having fun. I think something’s wrong with me.”
Stars are twinkling before my eyes. I feel like I could express the glittering of these brilliant lights in a hundred different colors. My hidden artistic sensibility was awakening.
“You’ll come get me, right? You said you’d be by my side. Right?”
“Where are you?”
“They said this place is Gwangju earlier, but they say you shouldn’t come here. I’ll come to you. If I walk, we can meet somewhere away from here.”
Through that forest. The trees will guide me to you. I might even be able to float and arrive in front of you.
“Young master, let me speak to him instead.”
“Why you, Driver Choi?”
“Because I know the location. Please give me your phone.”
Choi Jaekyung politely extended his hand. I handed him my phone without suspicion, and after thinking briefly, he held the phone close to his ear.
“The location is Gwangju city… Yes, Gwangju in Gyeonggi Province. If you’re coming, I’d appreciate it if you could come as quickly as possible. No, nothing’s happened, but the situation isn’t exactly good either. Yes, yes. I understand.”
After giving the address, Choi Jaekyung returned the phone to me. From the phone, which hadn’t been disconnected yet, I heard my name, “Sukyung.”
“I’m leaving now. Nothing’s wrong, right?”
“No, nothing. I just… feel too good. Painfully so.”
“It seems that way. I’ll be there as quickly as I can. Should we stay on the line?”
“No, that’s dangerous. What if you have an accident? Car accidents are dangerous.”
Car accidents are when you never know who might die, right? If someone has to die, it should be someone like Cha Donghu, not innocent people. That would be sad. I’ll just wait for you to come to me safely.
“Okay. Don’t fall asleep, stay alert.”
“Yes.”
After ending the call, I called out, “Driver Choi.”
“Yes, young master.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. I think it would be best for you to leave as soon as possible. In the future, if the second young master asks you to come along, please try to avoid it as much as possible.”
“Yeah, I agree. But I learned something good today, so maybe coming here was fortunate after all.”
“You shouldn’t become dependent.”
“I’m not talking about the drugs. I don’t like those. I just feel good… mmm, I feel good.”
Now that I’ve tried it, it does feel good. I feel like I’m floating and slightly dizzy with no sense of reality, but my five senses have become so sensitive that I feel more alive than ever. It’s like being forced to be happy, as if my hair is being grabbed, but rather than feeling displeasure, I just feel completely happy.
“Driver Choi.”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m thirsty.”
It felt suffocating, like when you eat powdered grain with a spoon and it sticks to your throat. I tried to gather saliva and swallow, but my parched mouth only felt rough.
“Have some water here. I’m sorry, but I’ve taken a few sips from it. But I didn’t put my mouth on it, so don’t worry and drink. I’d like to go inside and get you water, but I was asked to stay with you.”
“It’s okay. Thank you.”
Choi Jaekyung gave elaborate explanations as he took a water bottle from the console box and handed it to me, mentioning it was water he had been drinking. It’s not like he put poison in it; there’s nothing to be sorry about.
“Our Lee driver is kind, and Driver Choi is kind too. I wonder if they only hire kind people as personal drivers. …I like kind people. I want to be kind to kind people because then I feel like a kind person too.”
“Young master… you are plenty kind.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
Giggling, I opened the car door. As I put my legs out and stepped outside the car, Choi Jaekyung quickly got out of the driver’s seat and approached me.
“Where are you going?”
“Driver Choi, did they say there would be a meteor shower today?”
“…I haven’t heard anything like that.”
“That’s strange. It looks like stars are about to fall any moment.”
I muttered, tilting my head back and looking up at the sky. It’s really strange. Stars that weren’t usually visible were brilliantly decorating the sky today.
“I want to lie down here and watch the stars fall.”
“How about watching from inside the car? It’s cold.”
“No, it’s not cold at all.”
As I sprawled on the ground covered with small gravel, Choi Jaekyung hurriedly brought a thin blanket from the car.
“Young master, please at least lie on this.”
“It’s okay.”
“Please lie here. I’m worried about you.”
Choi Jaekyung spread the blanket on the ground and even took off his own coat to lay it down, then carefully moved my carelessly positioned body.
“Driver Choi, you’ll be cold.”
“I’ll be fine.”
“Want to lie down with me?”
“I’ll be even more fine.”
What a resolute person. My chest heaved with laughter.
“I can’t hear the music.”
“I’ll turn it up a bit.”
Opening the car door wide and turning up the volume, the faint sound of music finally reached me. Classical music isn’t my taste, but listening to it while lying on the street like this had its own charm.
“Driver Choi. Am I annoying you?”
“Not at all.”
“It must be hard enough dealing with my second brother, and now I’m being a nuisance too. I’m sorry.”
“You’re not a nuisance. You don’t need to apologize.”
“No, from now on I’m going to keep my mouth shut. When I count to three, it’s time to stop talking. One, two, three.”
After counting quickly, I burst out laughing. The situation was so enjoyable that it was hard to stop laughing.
The night sky looking down at me and the music enveloping my body pounded at my five senses. I felt like an artist experiencing an explosion of emotions.
As I wiggled my toes and hummed, a light approaching from the distance painfully pierced my eyes. When I raised my hand to shield my eyes, someone who had hurriedly gotten out of a car that had just stopped approached almost at a run.
“Cha Sukyung.”
Kwon Yikang’s face, which had pulled me up from my sprawled position on the ground, was slightly contorted. While holding me in his arms, he looked around and, spotting Choi Jaekyung standing nearby, approached him with long strides.
“I’m the one you spoke with on the phone.”
“Ah.”
“Hey. Why did you get here so quickly? It seems like it’s been less than ten minutes. Did you teleport or something?”
