On the news, a reporter was in the middle of explaining the case.
-New updates are emerging daily regarding the creation of slush funds and illegal campaign financing involving Guyoung Construction, a major domestic construction firm. Today, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office special investigation team mentioned in a briefing that they conducted search and seizure operations at 14 locations, including the regional offices of six members of the National Assembly and the homes of their aides, and revealed that a significant portion of the tens of billions of won in slush funds flowed into campaign coffers.
A moment later, the faces of the assemblymen were blurred and replaced by alphabets, with the amount of campaign funds each had received appearing on the screen. Amidst the flashing cameras, a close-up of Chief Prosecutor Cho giving the briefing was shown.
-As this is an ongoing investigation, we cannot disclose specific personal details. Necessary investigative procedures are underway, and we ask for your understanding that excessive reporting by some media outlets is not helpful to the investigation. Moving forward, the prosecution intends to handle all involved parties in accordance with the law and principles. Other questions will be addressed directly by the prosecutor in charge of the case.
As soon as Kang Hee-shin stood at the podium, the flashes began to explode. He remained composed despite the barrage of questions from reporters. He spoke only what was necessary, as if reading a prepared script, and sharply cut off anything uncertain or controversial. As he brushed them off with phrases like “I cannot confirm that” or “It is a matter under investigation,” the sighs of several reporters could be heard.
Then, one reporter raised a hand.
-Where is Financial Director Kwak Seong-tae now? Is it true that the prosecution is currently securing his identity?
-We have run out of time, so we will take no more questions regarding the investigation.
Jeers erupted from all sides, but Kang Hee-shin’s expression didn’t change one bit. Chief Prosecutor Jo Cheol-woong wrapped up the session, and the news anchor’s narration continued over the footage.
Chief Oh, who had been watching the TV screen in the prosecutor’s office, let out a low sigh.
“That’s why the reporters hate him.”
Regardless, Assistant Baek Young-mi brought over her phone to show the real-time comments.
The comments were filled with talk about Kang Hee-shin, completely unrelated to the case.
-Those eyes are insane. Is he an actor?
-His expression is fucking chilling lol
-His face is more shocking than the slush fund
-Isn’t that the prosecutor? The one who had a fan club before
-That’s him, old videos are popping up too
-Prosecutor-nim, please request a warrant for me. Please.
-Looking at these comments, you can tell how trivial inner beauty is lol
-His voice is so damn sweet
-I’m a guy, but with that face, I’m totally down hahaha
-The comments are a fucking mess, you crazies. Look at the state of this country
-Cold beauties are always right haha
-A filthy world that only remembers faces
-I love you, Hyung haha
-Fuck off, you f4ggots
Chief Oh let out a hollow laugh while reading the comments. The phrase “a filthy world that only remembers faces” perfectly described her own feelings. How grave was this case! Why was everyone only talking about the prosecutor’s face? How could the world be like this? At that, Assistant Baek Young-mi, who had been listening silently, nodded.
“Well, it is a bit much.”
“Right? You agree, don’t you?”
“Yes. He is severely handsome. He completely eats up the camera.”
“Is that what you’re supposed to say?”
“I bet we’ll be getting a lot of calls from all over for a while.”
Chief Oh couldn’t hide her anxiety, even as she hoped it wasn’t true. There was an incident back when Kang Hee-shin was first appointed as a prosecutor where he wiped out a famous gang in the region. He had pushed forward like a bulldozer and thrown them all in jail. When his face was revealed through the media at the time, the phone calls reportedly surged to the point where work was paralyzed for a while.
An investigator who worked with him had complained that he received more calls from variety shows than calls related to crimes, and it looked like she was about to face the same fate. Just then, the phone rang. Startled, she answered it, and it was Kang Hee-shin, who had just appeared on the broadcast. After a short conversation, Chief Oh tilted her head. She had a look of utter incomprehension.
“The prosecutor said he’s coming now?”
At Assistant Baek Young-mi’s question, Chief Oh shook her head.
“He said he has something important to do, so he’s taking today off and plans to come in tomorrow.”
Baek Young-mi tilted her head in turn.
“What do you mean ‘plans to’? Does that mean he might not be able to come in?”
“Exactly. I wonder what on earth is going on.”
Watching the prosecution briefing, Im Gyeong thought of Kang Hee-shin from last night. The face of the man who had pinned him down, grabbed his hair, and rubbed his cock against him indiscriminately. The more he thought about it, the more a strange thirst rose within him. He knew exactly what the cause of that thirst was. That he was sexually attracted to him despite the other being the same sex. Fuck, it would probably end if he just let him fuck him once.
As he watched the countless comments scrolling by, Tatsuki, who was in the driver’s seat, glanced back.
“I received a call from Assemblyman Bae’s side this morning.”
“Why.”
“It seems they are anxious.”
Assemblyman Bae wanted only one thing: to dishonorably remove the thorn in his side, Assemblyman Choi, and to nip in the bud the current Prosecutor General, who was being mentioned as a candidate for Minister of Justice.
Assemblyman Bae had once been a powerful presidential candidate. However, unfortunately, he was getting older, and the gap between him and his rival, Assemblyman Yang, was gradually widening. Assemblyman Yang was so close to Assemblyman Choi that they called each other sworn brothers. Their families had even discussed marriage arrangements. Therefore, the fall of Assemblyman Choi was also the fall of Assemblyman Yang.
“Tell him not to worry. I’ll cook him just right and pop him right into his mouth.”
Meanwhile, the car arrived in front of a large building. As they tried to go down to the parking lot, the barrier wouldn’t open. A security guard happened to come over and knock on the window.
“This vehicle is prohibited from entering. Please turn around.”
At the polite request, Tatsuki looked back, and Im Gyeong gave a signal with his eyes to just push through. As the car reversed, the guard stepped back. At that moment, Tatsuki smashed right through the barrier and entered the parking lot.
Amidst the sound of whistles and radios, the car soon descended underground. He got out and immediately boarded the elevator, and pressing the 23rd floor took him straight to the office where the President was. Upon arrival, several security guards were already waiting.
“Who are you people! Get out before I call the police!”
Tatsuki instantly subdued the guard at the front and pushed him aside with force. In the meantime, Im Gyeong opened the door to the CEO’s office, entered, and clicked the button to lock it. Choi Yoon-oh, who had been on the phone, looked back and his eyes widened in shock.
“You fucker, how the hell did you get here!”
In one motion, Im Gyeong stepped up onto the desk, grabbed Choi Yoon-oh by the hair, and slammed him down. Choi Yoon-oh resisted violently. “Let go! Let go of me, you fucker! Let go! Secretary Kim!” Im Gyeong shoved something deep into the open mouth and grabbed him by the collar to block his mouth completely.
Gulp. After confirming that the object in his mouth had gone down his throat, Im Gyeong shoved him back forcefully. Choi Yoon-oh, who had tumbled to the floor, staggered to his feet.
“Im Gyeong, you son of a bitch!”
As he screamed, he suddenly clutched his throat with both hands. Cough, cough, cough. He broke into fits of coughing as if having a seizure, and subsequently, his face and neck turned red, and the area around his eyes became bloodshot. Choi Yoon-oh beat his chest with his fist as if struggling to breathe, and not stopping there, he put his fingers in his mouth and tried to induce vomiting.
Im Gyeong sat perched on the desk, appreciating the sight.
“Hu, hu, peanuts… Fuck, pea…”
Hah, hah. Gasping for air, Choi Yoon-oh reached his hand up before collapsing to the side. Due to the excruciating pain, saliva dripped from his eyes and mouth, and his face began to swell instantly. Overwhelmed by the fear that he might die, he crawled on the floor like a dog.
Im Gyeong leisurely stepped down from the desk and pressed his foot firmly onto Choi Yoon-oh’s back.
“I warned you. Why did you provoke me? Hmm?”
“Kugh, kugh… Sa… sa…”
He was on the verge of suffocating.
The sight of him clutching Im Gyeong’s foot and even pissing his pants was pathetic.
“Tell me, Choi Yoon-oh. Do you want to live?”
Choi Yoon-oh didn’t even seem to have the strength to nod.
“You don’t?”
Choi Yoon-oh barely managed to reach out and grab the hem of Im Gyeong’s pants. “Li… li…” He couldn’t finish the word and could only tremble. Im Gyeong took a small case out of his back pocket, opened it, and grabbed a syringe. He immediately plunged the needle into Choi Yoon-oh’s thigh.
Right, not you yet. You have to stay alive until you witness your father’s downfall.
About a minute after the injection, his breathing gradually stabilized. Yet, as if the pain had not subsided, he couldn’t move easily. The noise outside had also quieted down, seemingly settled. Choi Yoon-oh, who had finally caught his breath, barely managed to lift his head.
When their eyes met, he immediately dropped his gaze downward like a frightened animal.
“Good boy. That’s how it should be.”
Im Gyeong smiled and poured the remaining peanuts in front of his eyes.
It was a warning that if something similar happened again, he would shove every single one of them down his throat.
