‘Even if I don’t have my memories, it’s my responsibility since I committed the act.’
A crime stained with blood must be repaid with an equivalent price someday. That was the law of this world. If you take someone’s life, you must be prepared to give up your own. Although Tae-hwon didn’t have his memories, Tae-hwon had taken Chairman Kwon Jung-il’s life, and this fact would become a ghost, chasing Tae-hwon to the end.
He was currently hiding in Kwon Rae-i’s house, but how long could this precarious life on the run last? It wouldn’t be strange if black suits invaded the house tomorrow.
‘Eventually, I’ll get caught.’
Tae-hwon was a wanted man by the Gyeongjeong. If the fact that Kwon Rae-i was hiding such a wanted man were to be discovered, it would lead to a great disaster. Kwon Rae-i would be in danger.
Kwon Rae-i was Chairman Kwon Jung-il’s biological son, but he was born to a concubine, and there were three older half-brothers born to the legal wife.
The true successor of the Gyeongjeong.
No… the candidates for successor.
First, Kwon Tae-oh. Second, Kwon Hyeon-oh. Third, Kwon Sang-oh.
They were already displeased with Kwon Rae-i and frequently harassed him. If they found out that Kwon Rae-i had taken Tae-hwon and hidden him, who knew what price he would pay. He might lose all of Chairman Kwon Jung-il’s inheritance, be kicked out of the Gyeongjeong, or suffer physical harm, such as having his fingers cut off.
‘In the end, I’m a burden holding Master back.’
And not just any burden, but a ticking time bomb.
Tae-hwon might regain his memories at any moment, and if he did, his current thoughts might completely change. He had killed the Chairman he served, so wouldn’t he harm the Master he served? Was there any guarantee he wouldn’t touch him?
At first, he had wanted to regain his lost memories out of frustration, but as he thought about it repeatedly and time passed, he realized that wasn’t the case. The answer was actually the opposite.
He must never regain his memories. It would be dangerous because who knew what the monstrous thirty-year-old Woo Tae-hwon would do.
‘So, before my memories return, I have to clean up this mess.’
He couldn’t leave Kwon Rae-i like this.
He couldn’t just stand by and watch him live in this situation, in this state.
‘Even if I can’t stay by Master’s side.’
To Tae-hwon, Kwon Rae-i was more precious and unique than anyone or anything else. So now was the time to lead Kwon Rae-i to become independent from Tae-hwon’s shadow and live his remaining life.
Kwon Rae-i had to meet someone else and be happy.
‘With someone other than me.’
Loving Woo Tae-hwon was absurd. It was just a fleeting infatuation, a delusion, a fantasy. Eventually, the fantasy would shatter.
After pondering for a while, Tae-hwon made a sound. He opened his lips and called out to him.
“Master Rae-i.”
“Yes, Tae-hwon?”
At the call, Kwon Rae-i slowly opened his eyes and turned to Tae-hwon. His blinking eyelids were beautiful. His long, dense eyelashes were pleasing to the eye. They looked so soft and ticklish to the touch.
“It just occurred to me, but I think there’s some truth in what you said.”
“Yes…?”
“Feeling good isn’t a bad thing, is it?”
How much time would it take?
For Kwon Rae-i’s fantasy to shatter and for him to lose interest in him and leave. How long would it take? He didn’t know, but the sooner the better.
“Maybe even someone like me can enjoy it to some extent.”
It seemed like he was starting to see the answer now.
Woo Tae-hwon had to make Kwon Rae-i, whom he had raised like a son, independent from him, and then go to the Gyeongjeong to pay for his crimes and offer his neck.
To finish everything and put it back in its place.
This was something that only Woo Tae-hwon could do. Tae-hwon was prepared for it.
‘I have to do it.’
To do that, first, Kwon Rae-i…
Kwon Rae-i…
“I think it would be okay to sleep with Master a couple of times.”
“…Tae-hwon, what did you say?”
“Well, what can I do? It doesn’t seem like we can just keep going on like this indefinitely. So, just…”
“Wait a minute. So, when you say sleep, you don’t mean taking a nap, do you? You really mean sleep with me…? You mean doing that thing where you stick your Dick in my hole and cum?”
“Yes. That’s right. Since it seems like it’s going to happen sooner or later even if I refuse, I’d rather accept it bravely like a man.”
“Ha, are you serious? Even for Tae-hwon, you’re being too manly right now, aren’t you?”
Kwon Rae-i continued to be half-doubtful and suspicious. He seemed untrusting. He supposed it was understandable. Tae-hwon just quickly drove the wedge in. Now that the brave man had made a decision, he had no intention of dawdling any longer.
“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to do it or not?”
Only then did Kwon Rae-i’s expression immediately change.
He stared at Tae-hwon with a blank face that had lost its smile, then jumped up from the table. The chair he had been sitting on fell backward with a loud noise. A silence that foreshadowed a storm followed.
His eyes and aura were unusual. His presence was large and intense, like an active volcano that swept around and exploded dangerously in an instant. It felt like this area had all turned into a sea of fire in an instant.
Why did those words come to mind now?
The words of the late Chairman Kwon Jung-il.
The starting point that had led Tae-hwon to this place came to mind again. Like an inescapable curse. Like the beginning of all fate.
“…I see. So, Tae-hwon is also making a gamble.”
Kwon Rae-i muttered quietly.
It was a soft whisper, but it was no small thing. That coldly seething gaze was actually frightening.
“It’s obvious. I’m sure you have other thoughts in your heart anyway. But I don’t care.”
Staring straight at Tae-hwon, Kwon Rae-i, who was burning his soul, was like a sports car speeding at high speed. The unlucky ones whose paths crossed with him would be run over. He didn’t care how many corpses were lying on the road he had passed, he was just craving and obsessing like a racer whose only purpose was to run faster, further, towards Tae-hwon.
“I don’t care if it’s a conciliatory measure or a stopgap, and I have no intention of missing this opportunity. Since it was Tae-hwon who said he would accept it bravely, I won’t go easy on you and I’ll pour it all out.”
“Is that so? I have no intention of going back on my word either. Since it’s come to this, I’ll play along with Master.”
“That’s refreshing. You’re so easy to say it so coolly that it makes me angry.”
A multitude of emotions exploded simultaneously in his beautiful bluish-gray eyes. Excitement, pleasure, and joy were mixed with anger at the fact that the permission he had longed for so desperately for so long had been given so easily. The act that had been Kwon Rae-i’s lifelong wish had been easily accomplished with Tae-hwon’s sudden and capricious decision.
“Let’s set a date.”
Tae-hwon tapped the table with the cast on his right arm. There was a rough sound of hard objects colliding.
“We’ll sleep together the day I take this off. Would that be enough?”
“Yes. That’s enough. No, it’s perfect.”
“Please prepare the necessary items as you see fit, Master. I can’t even go out.”
“You worry about everything. Did you think I wouldn’t have prepared anything? I already had everything ready.”
Looking closely, his hand on the table was trembling. As if he wanted to rush at Tae-hwon right away. He clenched his fist to suppress the trembling, but eventually collapsed and rushed towards Tae-hwon impatiently.
He held the table with one hand and grabbed Tae-hwon’s collar with the other, pulling him in.
Even though Tae-hwon twisted his head to avoid him, Kwon Rae-i kissed him on his turned face as if he didn’t care. He kissed his rough cheek recklessly, and persistently followed his nose and philtrum to his lips and clung to them. It was almost a trance. No matter how you looked at it, his eyes were flipped.
His crazed eyes had a strange color. He acted as if he would engrave Tae-hwon in his bluish-gray eyes without even blinking.
“Ugh, hngh.”
As he continued to kiss him, Tae-hwon’s back went back, and his waist was bent as if he was almost lying on the table. His lips were bitten by his fangs and chewed on. His breath was twice as hot and rough as before. It was as if he was running wild.
