“Shit, that scared me…”
He feared the Doberman might charge at him again, but fortunately, no running sounds were heard.
He surveyed his surroundings with eyes that had unconsciously narrowed. Unlike yesterday, he could see Ver on a leash. “Woof, woof!” Ver barked loudly with a fierce expression.
Jae-young snorted and passed through the yard. As soon as he opened the gate and exited, his body finally relaxed.
When would he ever get home? Sighs full of lament wouldn’t stop. He walked down the hill with a grumpy stride, his body uncomfortable.
Bang! Someone stopped Jae-young’s uncomfortable gait. A car parked next to him had honked its horn. Jae-young stared at the car with an indifferent expression. The window, which had been covered with film hiding the interior, rolled down.
“…What the.”
The person who honked was Seung-kwon. Seung-kwon sat expressionless in the driver’s seat. After looking around, Jae-young hurriedly got into the car. Seung-kwon changed gears and pressed the accelerator with his lips tightly shut.
“Don’t tell me you’ve been around here all day?”
There was no response.
“Are you doing your job properly? Why are you still here? Aren’t you going to work?”
“…”
Despite the countless questions, Seung-kwon maintained his silence. His gaze fixed on Jae-young, though not on his eyes.
Seung-kwon’s expression seemed complex and subtle. After taking deep breaths as if regulating his breathing, he eventually looked tired. Then he turned his head to face forward.
“I told you to be careful. I said don’t push in recklessly and to move according to the situation.”
What seemed like a sudden nagging was actually referring to how Jae-young had almost been caught by Sa Gong-hyun the previous night. Honestly, there was nothing to say about that.
It was clearly Jae-young’s mistake. He was surprised when Sa Gong-hyun suddenly disappeared, and so he unconsciously ran towards his house.
“It all worked out, didn’t it?”
“Don’t think so complacently.”
Embarrassed by the rebuke, he pouted his lips. It was awkward having Seung-kwon suddenly scold him when he hadn’t said much until now.
But aside from all those emotions, Jae-young felt relieved. From the looks of it, it seemed like a good relationship with Sa Gong-hyun wasn’t far off.
“You just focus on doing your job properly, hyung. I couldn’t search the rooms. A minion came in the morning. Oh, hyung, he keeps a Doberman. Its name is Ver. Fucking hilarious, right? Must have been too lazy to name it properly. It tears into strangers.”
Jae-young reported casually while massaging his neck with his hand.
“Hyung, was Sa Gong-hyun really a third-rate gangster?”
“Why?”
“For that, he seems a bit…”
Jae-young recalled the numerous scars on Sa Gong-hyun’s body. The inconsistent scars oddly bothered him. There clearly seemed to be an undisclosed past.
“He has so many scars. Seems like there’s more to his past that we don’t know, and it might be good to find out just in case. There’s also a tattoo on the back of his neck in Roman numerals. 17? I think it was 17. There was another one on his arm, but many gangsters have such tattoos, so that’s not an issue, but the 17 bothers me. It doesn’t seem like a tattoo one would get without meaning. Could you check if there’s any connection to that?”
“…”
“By the way, where are we going? To noona’s place?”
Despite Jae-young’s continuous talking, there was no reply. What’s really wrong with him? Seung-kwon’s reticence, unlike his usual self, was unfamiliar.
Come to think of it, Seung-kwon was acting strange today. Above all, it was most unusual that he hadn’t gone to work on time during the operation and had taken a different route.
That must mean he was worried about Jae-young… Is this what they call being overprotective? His suspicious gaze scanned Seung-kwon’s profile.
Seung-kwon had never been like this before. Though Jae-young had received his help quite often, Seung-kwon was usually clear about distinguishing work matters.
There was no time to figure out why he had been foolishly lingering around that area after attaching the bracelet. If it wasn’t working, he could have returned discreetly.
“Also, Sa Gong-hyun seems to have better peripheral vision than I thought. He remembered my age after seeing my wallet at that time.”
“He didn’t remember it; he probably already had you checked out.”
Seung-kwon, who had been silent as if practicing a vow of silence, finally opened his mouth.
“I see.”
Jae-young glanced at Seung-kwon and responded halfheartedly.
“Your back was being watched.”
His gaze had shifted to the window outside, but now it fixed back on Seung-kwon.
“Since they’ve completed their initial assessment, there won’t be anyone following you anymore as long as you don’t do anything suspicious. So be careful.”
“Who was following me?”
“…Seems that way.”
“…”
He hadn’t known at all. Despite claiming to be vigilant of his surroundings, he was still inexperienced.
Ugh. Jae-young made a pained sound as he reclined the passenger seat as far as it would go. He closed his eyes while lying comfortably.
He was trying to get some rest as his eyes were tired, but as soon as he closed them, Sa Gong-hyun came to mind. To be precise, the kisses they had shared. And the pleasure he had felt for the first time.
Previously, when he thought of Sa Gong-hyun, he was busy planning his next steps, but now he felt ashamed when that face floated into his mind. As if his input commands had changed, even just remembering a kiss was enough to make his body heat up.
It wasn’t his first kiss, so why did only Sa Gong-hyun affect him this way? Even though Sa Gong-hyun was good at kissing… Ah, is it normal to get hard from that kind of kiss? Or is it because he’s handsome?
That bothered him greatly. It felt exactly like becoming gay. Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine. Yet he couldn’t shake off that suspicion. Would he feel the same way with other men?
Deep in serious contemplation, Jae-young opened his eyes. He repeatedly brushed his bangs aside before suddenly speaking up.
“Hyung.”
“What?”
“Want to kiss me?”
Screech-
The car came to an abrupt stop as soon as the words left his mouth. Startled, Jae-young sat up.
Has this hyung lost his mind? The car had stopped in the middle of the road and quickly started moving again, but it was still absurd. Frowning, he hurriedly fastened his seatbelt.
“Can’t you drive properly?”
“…”
Jae-young sighed deeply after seeing Seung-kwon’s hardened face.
“I guess that’s fair. It’s a bit much even for you, right?”
Then he nodded as if he understood. He knew better than anyone how fucked up it was.
Jae-young lay back with his seatbelt still on. He could see the belt stretched taut in the air, not properly wrapping around his body.
“Forget it. What good would knowing do anyway? Ignorance is bliss.”
He muttered with his eyes closed. Seung-kwon must have been quite disgusted, as he made no response.
Even just lying still, he couldn’t help but snort. He must have truly gone insane. Mistaking himself for gay over one physiological reaction.
It was just too stimulating, that’s all. Sa Gong-hyun was exceptionally good at kissing.
But why did other men only sleep with Sa Gong-hyun once or twice? Was it because they were afraid? Or because his dick was too big? Jae-young cast his vote for the latter. Sa Gong-hyun’s cock was excessively large. Too big to handle, plus he was strong. That’s why it felt like his pelvis would be crushed every time Sa Gong-hyun thrust into him.
You know, people should be satisfied with something moderately large.
Jae-young deliberately ignored the memory of his thighs trembling uncontrollably the previous night. As if that memory didn’t exist at all. He just squeezed his eyes shut and tried to shake Sa Gong-hyun from his mind.
The car didn’t drive for very long. The smoothly moving vehicle stopped, and he heard the sound of gears shifting.
Thinking they’d arrived, he was about to sit up when he was startled by a hand cupping his chin.
“Ah, jeez… What are you doing?”
Jae-young was shocked and reflexively pushed Seung-kwon’s hand away. Seung-kwon didn’t budge.
“You said you wanted to. Let’s do it.”
