Thinking that, Tae-hwon pulled his body back into the unseen part of the hallway and took cover. And at the same time, the front door opened, and Kwon Sang-oh entered the house. It was like the appearance of a terrible grim reaper who had come to take the life of someone about to die.
Twenty-three-year-old Kwon Sang-oh had bleached hair dyed bright yellow and a skull tattoo densely covering his neck. In addition, his flashy red leopard-print shirt was eye-catching even from a distance. He was even smoking a cigarette in one hand and carrying a golf club over his shoulder with the other, and he walked into the living room with his shoes on, tracking dirt everywhere.
Kwon Sang-oh sucked on the cigarette until his cheeks became hollow and rubbed it out on the back of the sofa as if to show off. A black burn mark from the cigarette remained on the leather sofa, and ashes fell in clumps.
“Ha, you low-class bastard. Kwon Rae-i, you’ve grown up a lot, huh?”
Saying words like a typical line from a third-rate villain, Kwon Sang-oh grabbed the golf club with both hands and pretended to practice his swing in the air. After swinging it a couple of times with a full swing, he swung it hard at the living room display case.
“You don’t answer my calls, and you tell your hyung to come and go as you please!”
Crash. The glass of the display case shattered miserably, and the original texts and canvases displayed inside rolled onto the floor. Kwon Rae-i had also stored several bottles of expensive liquor that he had bought for Tae-hwon, who liked to drink, and they also fell noisily onto the living room floor. Not only that, but Kwon Sang-oh aimed the golf club at the liquor bottles lying on the floor and smashed them all over the house.
Thwack! Thwack!
As if sending a golf ball far into the field, the liquor bottles shattered, and shards flew everywhere. Tae-hwon’s blood pressure rose at the sight.
Kwon Sang-oh was wearing shoes, but Kwon Rae-i was barefoot. He’s going to step on that and get hurt. Is Sang-oh Young Master a son of a bitch? And that wasn’t all. Now, he was even aiming the liquor bottle at the side where Kwon Rae-i was standing and trying to swing with a full swing?
“Okay, let’s tear up that pretty face of yours today. You look like a slut, just like your vulgar mother who shakes her hips and seduces men. I’ve never liked you, you bastard! Huh?”
“Hyung. You seem very angry. Is your business not going well these days?”
“Agh! Are you crazy? How dare you talk back to me!”
Kwon Sang-oh finally swung the golf club.
He came in and made a mess of the house with violence as soon as he arrived, but Kwon Rae-i seemed used to this kind of abuse, so he just watched silently with a smile. He didn’t even get angry and calmly and quietly let Kwon Sang-oh swing as he pleased.
Thwack!
As the liquor bottle shattered, shards flew toward Kwon Rae-i, and the broken liquor soaked the rug on the floor. A shard grazed Kwon Rae-i’s face, cutting him, and his eyelid was torn open. Red blood flowed.
‘…!’
Tae-hwon was horrified.
I don’t know what it is.
He said he would show it to Tae-hwon. He told me to watch. Was he trying to show me this unreasonable and one-sided violence against Kwon Sang-oh? I don’t know why he’s doing this, and Kwon Sang-oh, that yellow-toothed bastard, was as vicious as ever, then and now. I couldn’t let Kwon Rae-i get hurt by a guy like that.
But Tae-hwon couldn’t step in and stop him right now.
If Tae-hwon, who was wanted, was caught in this house, it would only harm Kwon Rae-i, and even if he did step in, he couldn’t go down to the first floor where they were with his ankle shackled.
‘Young Master. Rae-i, Young Master…’
Tae-hwon clenched his fists tightly and looked blankly at Kwon Rae-i, who was bleeding. Endlessly. A stream of red blood flowed down his pure white face, gradually wetting his cheek. It seemed his eye was cut quite deeply. But even so, Kwon Rae-i didn’t show any signs of pain and only wore a faint smile.
“Sang-oh Hyung. I’m sorry I couldn’t contact you separately. I was a little busy moving.”
“Oh, yeah. Where is this? How did you manage to crawl into such a nice house? Did you catch a rich old man somewhere?”
“Not a rich old man.”
Kwon Rae-i wiped the blood from his forehead with his hand. The sight of the crimson blood spreading red on his white skin was like painting a pure white canvas.
“More than that, you asked in the text message. Do you have any idea where Woo Tae-hwon is?”
“Ha, you bastard. You’re changing the subject. Didn’t you used to hang out with that traitor? You need to find Woo Tae-hwon. I can’t do it because it’s so frustrating to work my Dick off. Huh?”
“Ah, that’s right. I guess so. You can’t do it anymore because it’s frustrating, right? Okay, Hyung. I’ll take care of everything.”
Then Kwon Rae-i smiled softly and suddenly called out to Tae-hwon.
“Tae-hwon.”
Tae-hwon was already so agitated that his blood vessels were about to burst because he was angry and upset at seeing Kwon Rae-i being unilaterally attacked, but when he even called out to Tae-hwon, he was so horrified that his stomach churned. His head felt like it was about to explode on the spot, and his heart felt like it was tearing apart.
He was going crazy with worry and concern for the injured Kwon Rae-i, and Kwon Sang-oh, who had always known Kwon Rae-i as his meal and tormented him, was also a son of a bitch, and his terrible situation, where he couldn’t step in and protect him even in this situation, was the most despairing.
Because if Tae-hwon stepped in, Kwon Rae-i would be in danger. That was the problem. He had no choice but to hide until the end.
“Tae-hwon? You’re watching now, right? You have to watch. Tae-hwon.”
“What? What are you up to?”
Kwon Rae-i narrowed his eyes as he stared directly at the location where Tae-hwon was. Kwon Sang-oh turned his head following his gaze, but found an empty wall and cursed irritably.
“Sang-oh Hyung. Tae-hwon is right there now. Not only in the past, but these days, I’m hanging out with Tae-hwon.”
“What…?”
“I’m trying to seduce Tae-hwon with my life on the line. I was just having sex with Tae-hwon to the point of death. But it seems that Sang-oh Hyung and the Gyeongjeong Faction are getting in the way.”
Kwon Rae-i murmured languidly as if he was sorry. His sweet bass voice sounded good even in this absurd situation. It was creepy. Kwon Rae-i’s blue-gray eyes, which were facing the side where Tae-hwon was hiding, looked dangerous. His transparent and clear eyes shone brightly with obvious madness. It was like a fanatic.
“It’s getting in the way. It’s a nuisance.”
Eventually, Kwon Rae-i even chuckled and shook his shoulders, laughing. Kwon Sang-oh, who was as dumbfounded as Tae-hwon, burst out laughing at the sight, then his face turned red with anger, and he acted violently, unable to control his anger.
“Hey, you psycho. Are you crazy?”
Kwon Sang-oh poked Kwon Rae-i in the chest with the golf club. The round head of the 8-iron pushed Kwon Rae-i back.
“Is it fun? Huh? Stop talking nonsense. Just get hit. Put your head down.”
Kwon Sang-oh pushed Kwon Rae-i hard and urged him to put his head on the floor. He was telling him to lie down in a place that was a mess with broken shards, and if he got hit like that, his whole body would be a rag. Even now, there were red bloodstains on the rug on the floor where Kwon Rae-i was being pushed, as if he had stepped on the shards.
“Sang-oh Hyung. What I’m saying is that Woo Tae-hwon, who you’re looking for, is here. Do I not need to contact Tae-oh Hyung separately? You’ll have to report it.”
“Damn it! You’re talking nonsense! Are you going to put your head down?”
“Haha. Ah, that’s right. I have to put my head down.”
“Put it down quickly! You crazy bastard. You’re being so annoying. Anyway, this illegitimate child is missing a screw. He’s always been smiling and stupid… Huh? Wait.”
Kwon Sang-oh, who had been talking like he had a rag in his mouth, suddenly stopped talking. Then his expression changed as if he was suspicious.
“How the hell did you know I went under Tae-oh Hyung? Who told you?”
Even though he tried to pretend he wasn’t, there was embarrassment in Kwon Sang-oh’s voice.
“How do you, who left the Gyeongjeong, know the internal secrets that haven’t been announced yet?”
“Sang-oh Hyung. Is that surprising? It’s no different from you, who can’t even play golf, carrying a golf club and acting up.”
“Wh, what?”
“Why are you so surprised? When did you start cursing other people’s mothers when you’re a son of a bitch whose mother died?”
Kwon Sang-oh’s pupils dilated and widened. The hand holding the golf club trembled, and he raised his arm as if he was going to kill Kwon Rae-i. He ran at him, trying to hit him in the head as it was a brutal and powerful movement.
“You son of a bitch!”
Kwon Rae-i saw the golf club flying toward him and dodged it accurately. It was an amazing reflex. Above all, his attitude was amazing. Anyone who is attacked in the head is bound to flinch or freeze, but Kwon Rae-i didn’t even blink an eye and made a cold and quick decision.
Not only that, but he raised his leg and kicked Kwon Sang-oh in the stomach.
“Ugh!”
Kwon Sang-oh, who had been hit hard in the abdomen, staggered backward and fell. He fell on the floor that he had made a mess of and groaned in pain.
