10.2 All Equal Humans
He walked toward me with a smile that seemed to say, ‘I’m sorry you had to wake up to a morning like this.’ But on the contrary, I was grateful. Despite the large age gap, the two siblings were like twins in both appearance and personality; thanks to them, the morning was so boisterous that I had no time to dwell on yesterday’s events. Though the thought had just crossed my mind, perhaps because the shock I received today was so strong, I didn’t feel as shaky or terrified as I had yesterday. The image of Chu Gi-oh being strangled by a woman simply played on a loop in my head.
Chu Gi-oh stripped off his underwear and dove into the bed. He hugged me tightly, like a soldier returning alive from the front lines, and clicked his tongue as if he were exhausted from a lifetime of dealing with his sister.
“Whenever my sister shows up, my ears start bleeding. She just barges in whenever she feels like it and pours out so much nagging—that’s why I keep living out of the house, y’know?”
To think the reason he always lived in hotels was because of Chu Gi-ok. That also meant that as long as I stayed here, I would be crossing paths with Chu Gi-ok frequently. No matter how wonderful her smile was, it was a fact that she was an intimidating person. As if reading my mind, he grinned and pinched my cheek.
“Still, now that she knows you’re here, she won’t just barge in. She’s got a temper like fire, but she’s a woman who knows her manners. She’s got age on her side, and she’s been through a hard marriage herself, so she won’t act like a nightmare sister-in-law. Don’t worry about that at all.”
Looking at them again, they were so identical that I finally spoke up.
“…You look alike. A lot.”
Chu Gi-oh laughed in agreement.
“That’s because she’s basically a female Chu Gi-oh. Her height, her temper—she’s a complete carbon copy of me. You saw her choking that guy, right? Once she catches you, it’s over. Game over. Do you know her nickname was Eagle because she was so fierce? Once she bares her claws and spreads her wings, you’re getting eaten alive.”
“R-really?”
“You saw what she did to me earlier. But that was nothing, a mere appetizer. I don’t even need to mention myself; there’s a whole truckload of bastards who got wrecked by my sister’s grip. A whole truckload. Fuck, a truckload isn’t even enough—you could line them up from here to Seoul.”
I found it hard to believe, but when I unauthorized copy[Read on Read BL Novels]recalled the scene I [visit our site]had just witnessed, those doubts vanished. Chu Gi-ok was absolutely the kind of woman capable of that. Absolutely.
“Still, she’s mellowed out a bit since she got older. I heard back in the day, she had muscles to match that height.”
Listening to him, I found myself smiling unconsciously. Noticing this, Chu Gi-oh kept his mouth moving without pause.
“You heard my sister has a son, right? Cha Mu-gang. He takes after me even more than he does her. If you see that kid and then see my sister, it’s not just a resemblance. He looks so much like me that whenever we go out, everyone thinks he’s my son. The brat even inherited my bad habits with his hands, so he’s always causing trouble. I’ll introduce you later. Maybe he’ll get his act together if he gets an aunt.”
An aunt…. I didn’t even need to see it to know what kind of expression Chu Gi-oh’s nephew—the one nicknamed Human Trash—would make when he saw me. He surely inherited Chu Gi-ok’s fiery temperament; I’d be lucky if he stopped at mocking me.
“Still, the kid is good-hearted. He’s great to me. If he knows how to behave, won’t he be good to you too? If not, he’s obviously dead by my hand.”
He said that, but as always, you only know someone once you’ve experienced them firsthand.
As if trying to preserve the smile on my face, Chu Gi-oh continued talking about his sister, his nephew, and himself. Most of it was painful stories about how he used to cry every day because his sister beat him so much, but I knew he was intentionally exaggerating those parts. He was trying his hardest to neutralize the fear I felt toward him. Even without his efforts, yesterday’s terror was already slowly subsiding.
While I felt grateful for how he was preoccupied with soothing me, I also felt envious of him for being able to talk about being beaten with a smile. Being beaten by the man I called Hyung had also been a constant in my life, but thinking about it only brought rage, never laughter. In other words, it meant Chu Gi-oh grew up receiving love, not just violence, from his sister.
Furthermore, this terrifying man must have once been a baby who couldn’t tell urine from feces, an innocent child, and a wandering adolescent before growing into this person. Though our ways of living and the paths we walked were certainly different, the basic milestones of being human were likely no different from mine.
He is human, and I am human. I tried to focus only on that. If I did, everything would eventually return to how it was.
Sensing me staring more intently than usual, he stopped talking. He locked eyes with me for a moment, stayed quiet, and then suddenly said he was sorry. Then, he immediately kissed me. He pushed his tongue in as if we were merging our bodies, pressing down on me with his massive frame.
Though we couldn’t have sex because Chu Gi-ok [Read on Read BL Novels]might return at any moment, I was drenched in sweat from [stolen content]the sheer excitement. I was so thirsty that immediately after we pulled apart, I couldn’t even make a sound.
Chu Gi-ok arrived about an hour later and, despite my adamant refusals, pricked all ten of my fingertips with a needle. She clicked her tongue as she watched the dark red blood well up from my fingertips. Then, she glared at Chu Gi-oh.
“You better do this right.”
However, she didn’t pour out harsh curses like before, seeing the worried expression Chu Gi-oh had for me. It seemed she realized he was sincere. She simply couldn’t hide her gaze because she wasn’t used to seeing Chu Gi-oh look after someone so tenderly. I felt I knew what she wanted to say without asking, as her lips twitched before closing. It was likely something like, ‘Is this brat finally becoming human?’
I chuckled. With a terrifying sister who could handle Chu Gi-oh fondling me, what was there to worry about? Though it was unlikely, if he ever hit me or if something like yesterday happened again, I planned to run straight to her house, just as she had hinted. Of course, if it were a truly grave matter, her blood would likely run thicker than water, but still.
I don’t know the principle behind it, but after the bloodletting, my stomach felt truly relieved. It was probably the same principle as when one is suffering from indigestion, but it felt several times more effective than taking a cheongsimhwan and sleeping.
Chu Gi-ok stood up immediately after finishing her task. “See you later,” she said, turning away without lingering. During the twenty minutes we were together, she frowned at Chu Gi-oh, but not once did she do so to me. She only smiled until she left. It seemed the fact that her brother had someone like me in his life put her in a good mood. I felt strangely sorry that I wasn’t a woman because of her grateful attitude. She was so kind even to a man like me; imagine how happy she would have been if I were a woman….
Starting from that day, Chu Gi-oh stayed glued to my side for several days. Thugs, including Jang-bae, visited the house to report on the progress of work, and he frequently spoke with directors on the phone regarding other matters, but he didn’t go to the office.
I was curious about what happened to Kim Jeong-suk, Kang Moon-soo, and the rest of the gang, but I didn’t ask. Even if I didn’t try to find out, I would naturally learn in time. Just as I had encountered Kang Moon-soo’s end without seeking it.
I spent about a week like that, stuck to Chu Gi-oh. Because he treated me like a patient—even though I wasn’t sick—my speech, which had turned stiff from shock, gradually returned to its original softness. Moving from the formal ‘-seumnida’ back to the softer ‘-eyo.’
I couldn’t use ‘-seumnida’ even for the sake of Chu Gi-oh’s reactions. Whenever I did, he wouldn’t say anything, but would just stare at me and then laugh as if mocking me. He probably wanted to fix it by force, but he held back fearing I might become afraid of him again. He was working tirelessly to erase the image of himself acting like an evil beast that day from my mind, even swallowing his own light nagging.
As we naturally entered a much hotter July, the day finally came when Chu Gi-oh had to leave for work, leaving me behind. He gave me a tight hug as I followed him to the front door to see him off.
“I’ll be back early. You heard someone is coming by later, right? Eat the food [visit our site]they prepare and get some good rest. Call me immediately if anything happens.”
“Yes. Please go and don’t worry.”
His brow furrowed slightly because of the way I spoke, which still slipped out occasionally despite my efforts to fix it. But that was all. He quickly grinned, lowered his head, and said,
“Give me a kiss?”
Before I could answer, he kissed me first. We shared a brief exchange of tongues, and he sucked my lower lip hard enough to hurt. Only after I let out a small moan did he finally pull away, licking his own lips. He spoke with a hint of regret.
“I’m going. Don’t come out.”
His broad, dark back looked even larger than usual today. His height, his shoulders—everything seemed bigger than normal. The heart inside that chest would undoubtedly grow larger by the day.
He told me not to come out, but I followed him out and watched him cross the yard and get into the car. His stride was powerful. He rolled down the window and waved at me with a smile. It was surely the joy of newlyweds. His distant face seemed to be saying:
‘I should have lived like this from the start.’
I only went back inside after the car carrying him disappeared. I checked the clock; it was barely 7:00.
Earlier, when I asked if I should prepare something for him since he was leaving without breakfast, my heart felt so ticklish. Yet, inwardly, I secretly hoped he would refuse. After all, the only thing I knew how to make was ramen. Naturally, Chu Gi-oh saw right through me.
‘I’m too busy today, so I’ll just go, but I’ll definitely eat here starting tomorrow. I’ve already hired someone to prepare the meals.’
There was already a helper, but she only did the house [stolen content]cleaning [unauthorized copy]and left. She didn’t even come every day, only about three times a week. Since Chu Gi-oh was away from home most of the time, a meal helper hadn’t been necessary until now.
For the past week, my meals consisted of food Chu Gi-ok brought over, and even then, Chu Gi-oh had the thugs set the table. I always felt uncomfortable because the thugs did the dishes too, so hearing that he had hired a separate helper made me feel as if a long-standing congestion had been cleared. Since it was too much for me to cook and feed Chu Gi-oh, a helper responsible for meals was absolutely necessary.
Around 11:00, a helper actually arrived with Du-jik; she was a woman of considerable age. Her name was Chae Geum-ok. She introduced herself as a veteran with over 20 years of experience as a helper. She said she would start work at 8:00 AM and leave between 5:00 and 6:00 PM before the CEO returned, and that she would leave dinner on the table, so I should just eat and leave it. I didn’t know how to prepare food, but cleaning up was no problem. I intended to tidy up so there would be no smell.
The lunch Mrs. Chae Geum-ok prepared was fantastic, befitting her experience. I generally have a wide palate and eat almost anything, but I felt that from now on, my tastes would become refined because of Mrs. Chae.
Chu Gi-oh would surely love the taste of the food this woman prepared. I could already picture him munching away at the meals she made. He would undoubtedly eat every single grain of rice.
After lunch, for the first time since arriving, I explored the house. Because I had spent all my time glued to Chu Gi-oh doing ‘that thing,’ I hadn’t had time to look around. All I had done was walk through the yard once or twice late at night. Even then, I had stopped early because my legs were shaking.
His house was located at the far right end of a residential complex consisting of 14 houses, seven on each side. Each house was designed differently, all were two stories or higher, and they each had a grassy yard. The walls were high, but because the yards were so spacious, it didn’t feel suffocating at all.
The well-landscaped yard had an incredible atmosphere. As evening approached and the lights installed around the yard flickered on one by one, sitting on the living room sofa and watching them made me feel like a wealthy person vacationing at a villa seen in dramas.
Even to someone like me, a layman in architecture and design, it was obvious that a lot of money had gone into it; it looked like a place where the chairman of a top-tier corporation, not a gangster, would live. Blood money was still money. Filthy money was still money. It seemed this was why everyone struggled so desperately—to live like this.
The interior of the house was incredibly spacious. There were at least two studies and bedrooms, a wide living room, a kitchen that elegantly housed a ten-person dining table, and a terrace that wrapped long around the building. I couldn’t believe I was eating and sleeping in such a wonderful place.
However, there was one room adjacent to Chu Gi-oh’s bedroom that was the only one in the house with the door firmly locked. I asked the helper who had come to clean, and she told me it was also a bedroom. But she said she didn’t know why a room that was usually open had suddenly been locked. She added that the CEO sometimes locks the study when he keeps important items there, so she assumed it was the same this time.
Since it wasn’t my house, there was no reason to feel uneasy. I was confident that I wouldn’t care even if the room were piled high with gold and silver treasures.
Only after touring up to the second floor did I finish my exploration of the house. I must have been so [stolen content]focused that sweat had formed on my forehead. I felt as if I had exercised.
The next day, Chu Gi-oh kept his promise to eat breakfast starting today and sat at the table with me. Just as I thought, he devoured the breakfast Mrs. Chae Geum-ok had brilliantly prepared, without leaving a single grain. Because he had a business dinner and came home late, he only got to taste her cooking this morning, and his expression remained pleased throughout the meal, clearly liking her skill.
He didn’t seem to have any urgent business today. Not only did he wake up late, but he also ate leisurely and took his time getting ready for work. Then, after receiving a phone call, he looked at me.
“Get dressed and get ready. Let’s go to work together.”
If I followed him to work, I would naturally find out the reason. There was no need to ask and waste breath.
I went to the hastily prepared wardrobe I had been using and opened the door. I was about to pick out a pair of light-colored jeans when he suddenly clung to my back and pulled out a pair of short black shorts. They were shorts that ended nearly a hand-span above the knee.
“It’s hot out, so wouldn’t short ones be better? To keep it cool. Y’know?”
But as he handed them over, he muttered, “Tsk, the color is too bright,” and started rummaging through the wardrobe again. My heart suddenly sank at those words. He must have been remembering the yellow shorts I had worn at the coffee shop one day.
Fortunately, the person who had organized the clothes had the same taste as me; there were plain gray ones, but no yellow. As if resigned, he handed me the first pair of shorts he had pulled out. As I took the clothes, I silently thanked the unknown person.
As I put on the shorts, Chu Gi-oh handed me a white t-shirt and socks one by one. He even helped me put on the t-shirt; he was so tender it gave me goosebumps.
Finally, I sat on the floor with my knees up and pulled up the white socks that covered my ankles. Then, in that position, I looked up at Chu Gi-oh. I looked at him with a ‘Is this okay?’ expression, but he seemed to think differently. He let out a chuckle and shook his head.
“You’re pretty even if you don’t look at me. You’re so pretty it’s killing me every day.”
I took the hand he offered, stood up, [stolen content]and went to the entrance together. The advantage of going to work together was that I didn’t have to see him off.
We put on our shoes and stepped out the door. As we crossed the yard toward the main gate as if taking a stroll, Du-jik was waiting with the car. After greeting us politely, he quickly opened the car door.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but the car passed by the coffee shop on its way to the office. While I had been staying at Chu Gi-oh’s house, the coffee shop had become a wreck. The sign was gone, windows were broken, the walls were covered in all sorts of graffiti, and the coffee shop car had collapsed, perhaps due to punctured tires. In just one week, it had turned into a place on the verge of demolition.
Chu Gi-oh didn’t even glance at it as they passed. Conversely, I turned my head to look. I couldn’t take my eyes off it until it became a tiny dot in the distance.
My chest felt strange. The month I spent there felt like a dream, and for a moment, the Chu Gi-oh sitting next to me felt like a lie. Only after he reached out and held my hand did I realize it was reality.
Belatedly, I thought of the girls who had worked there. Ms. Hyeon and Su, Byeol and Min, Choe and Yun who came in every few days, and Ms. Jin….
Suddenly, the thought occurred to me that Ms. Jin also had a debt to collect from Kim Jeong-suk. Since Kim Jeong-suk had incurred a debt of at least 1.4 billion won to Chu Gi-oh, bankruptcy was inevitable. Since everything he had earned in his life would have been stripped away, there was no way a single won would remain to go back to Ms. Jin.
My heart felt terribly uneasy. Before meeting Chu Gi-oh, Ms. Jin was the only person who had cared for me and looked out for me. I vividly remembered her face when she said she would do this kind of work only until the end of June and then open a small clothing store to make a living.
I didn’t know how much money she was owed, but I wondered if there was any way. I gripped Chu Gi-oh’s hand tightly and stole a glance at him. I thought about asking him for a favor, but I was in a position where I owed him eighty-five million won myself. Even if I summoned the courage to ask, I doubted he was the type of person to simply agree. And if he misunderstood and asked what the hell was between me and her that I was so desperate to take care of her, that would be a headache in its own right. But she wasn’t just any woman; she was Ms. Jin. She had ruined her relationship with Kim Jeong-suk and endured endless insults from Kang Moon-soo while fighting for me. If I knew I was grateful, I shouldn’t forget. They say a single word can pay back a debt of a thousand nyang. She might have just been acting according to her naturally righteous nature, but someone had found warmth because of it. I desperately wanted to repay her.
Just as I decided to try and ask him, perhaps by setting the mood, Chu Gi-oh noticed my gaze and looked at me. I didn’t look away. Intending to earn some points in advance, I gave him a bright, deliberate smile. He stared at me for a few seconds, then broke into a goofy grin and asked, “You like being with me that much?”
“Of course.”
It’s a world of give and take. I nodded vigorously, as if I were dying of happiness just to be with him, and squeezed his hand. I wanted to make it so he couldn’t resist whatever favor I asked.
We arrived at the office. With Jang-bae leading the way, many burly men were gathered in the front yard. There must have been about visit our sitetwenty of them. As soon as we stepped out of the car, a thunderous greeting erupted: “You’ve arrived, Hyung-nim!” [visit our site]This was followed by shouts of “Head Merchant,” and the noise was so loud that birds hiding in the tall trees took flight all at once.
Chu Gi-oh didn’t even acknowledge the greetings and headed straight for the door. Perhaps it was because this happened all the time. I followed him, offering small greetings to the burly men who parted like the Red Sea.
It was then, after we entered the office and were left alone. After seating me on the sofa, he went to his desk, picked something up, and returned to my side.
“Here. I made one in your name.”
What he handed me was a bankbook. He looked somewhat proud of himself. When I hesitantly took it, he gestured for me to open it quickly. The moment I opened it, my eyes widened at the amount written inside. Eighty-five million won was printed there in digits.
“Th-this is…”
“Didn’t I tell you I’d get it back? It was a promise to you.”
Chu Gi-oh sat heavily beside me and continued.
“I brought back more than ten times that amount, so you don’t need to hand this back to me to pay off the debt. You can keep it all. Think of it as an incentive. I made a lot of money because of you, so you should get some reward too.”
“…”
He peered closely at me as I blinked, unable to process his words.
“Since I made a profit thanks to you, it’s as good as you’ve paid back the eighty-five million. Tsk, it wasn’t even a debt to begin with, but you kept acting so uncomfortable about it. Even making a fuss about paying it back.”
“Th-then…”
He gave me a smirk. He poked my cheek as if dealing with a child.
“As of today, you don’t owe a dime to anyone, Min-jo. Not to Kim Jeong-suk, and not even to this Chu Gi-oh. What I just gave you is pocket money. Or living expenses. Think of it however you like. Right?”
“…”
“And besides this eighty-five million, there’s other pocket money I’ve given you, right? You can save it up here or spend it however you want. Do whatever the fuck you feel like. No one’s going to open their mouth about it.”
“…”
I couldn’t say a word. It felt as if a surge of emotions was exploding, making it impossible to utter anything. I felt a lump in my throat.
As I just blinked and stared at him, he gave me another smirk.
“The road of hardship is over. From now on, it’s carpets. A silk road. Asphalt. There’ll be no more footprints of pain; just walk happily with me.”
“…”
“And this isn’t the end. A hundred times, a thousand times. Ten thousand times. I’ll show you how fast and scary money can grow. Right?”
“…”
“Right?”
“…”
I leaned into a forced silence because I felt that if I opened my mouth, I would burst into tears. Seeing me like that, he hugged me tight, saying, “Oh dear…” He gently patted my back and whispered in a tender voice. He knew. He knew how hard it had been for me. Who else would know if not him? That guy?
“You worked hard. You really went through a lot.”
At his soothing words, my heart felt as if it were being squeezed, filling me with emotion. If he touched me just a little more, I really would have cried. I gritted my teeth and burrowed into his chest, and he hugged me even tighter, as if he understood everything.
“Yes, yes. Come here. Lean in more. There’s plenty of room to lie down here.”
While comforting me, he suddenly started tickling me, saying, “Is a hot spring erupting? Why is your shoulder so warm? Are you soaking someone else’s clothes?”
Chu Gi-oh was intentionally joking around for my sake, knowing I wasn’t used to crying and was struggling to swallow my emotions. Thanks to that, I managed to avoid tears and let out a laugh. I was grateful.
“Can I let go now? Or should I give you a bit more time to wipe your tears?”
“I-I’m not crying. I never cried.”
“You little shit, even I can see it’s a total tear-jerker. Just cry. You can’t get away from me until you do. I’m absolutely not letting go until these clothes are soaked.”
“Ah, CEO. Please stop.”
“Are you crying or not! Hurry up and shed at least one drop! Now!”
The image of the blood-ghost who once swung an axe ruthlessly still lingered in a corner of my memory, but even that was being overwritten by his current self, fading bit by bit. I believed that as days like today accumulated, the terrifying image of that day would vanish without a trace.
For lunch, we ordered delivery from a nearby restaurant. It was Korean food, mainly spicy pork and wraps; I didn’t know which restaurant it was, but there were many side dishes and the taste was clean.
While the two of us ate inside, the burly men gathered and ate in the living room. While Du-jik was bringing water, I caught a glimpse of the scene in the living room, and the cozy atmosphere reminded me of a company dinner, giving me a strange feeling.
The day I had clung to Chu Gi-oh while drunk felt like a distant memory. Since that day, how many times had we slept together? It was too many to count on my fingers.
I don’t know what my expression looked like, but Chu Gi-oh, who was pushing side dishes toward me, casually dropped a comment.
“Want a drink? To cleanse the palate.”
He probably just asked casually, but I answered, “Yes.” Perhaps expecting me to refuse, he raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
“Ah, no. I was joking…”
“Nah. I said it’s fine to have a glass.”
He called out loudly for Jeong-sik. He told Jeong-sik, who was opening the door, to bring a bottle of soju and two glasses. In less than a minute, Jeong-sik appeared with the green bottle and the glasses.
Chu Gi-oh told Jeong-sik to stand by for a moment, then poured a glass for me and one for himself. Then, telling me to drink up, he emptied his own glass first.
After tilting my head back and swallowing the liquid, I set the glass down with unauthorized copya hiss at [unauthorized copy]the bitter taste, and he poured [Read on Read BL Novels]another glass for me and himself. Then he handed the remaining soju to Jeong-sik.
“Don’t drink it, throw it away.”
“Yes, Hyung-nim.”
After Jeong-sik left, Chu Gi-oh made a wrap and held it out to me. He made one for himself as well and said, “Raise your glass.” As I held the wrap in my left hand and the glass in my right, he held out his glass as if proposing a toast.
“Let’s always be healthy. Don’t get sick.”
“Yes.”
After clinking glasses lightly, I drank. A pleasant bitterness flowed down my throat. The wrap he made for me tasted even better than the alcohol. Doing this during lunch made me feel like the protagonist of a gangster movie. I suppose I was slowly becoming a part of Gimun.
After the meal, I stood by the window behind the desk and shared a cigarette with Chu Gi-oh. I watched him exhale smoke while looking out the open window. Though it was only two glasses of alcohol, courage welled up in me. Feeling that I wouldn’t be able to bring up Ms. Jin if I didn’t do it now while my blood was pumping, I spoke carefully as I put out my cigarette.
“Um, CEO… I’m sorry, but could I ask you for one favor?”
He turned to look at me without answering, and I slowly continued.
“There’s a Noona at the coffee shop named Kim Eun-jin. She’s someone who helped me a lot when I was struggling. But I believe she has some money to receive from Kim Jeong-suk… I was wondering if you could help her get it back…”
As expected, Chu Gi-oh’s expression immediately soured. He leaned in so close it felt like he might push me out the window, glaring at me and muttering fiercely.
“What the fuck, were you dating her or something?”
I could see him being as careful as possible with the cigarette in his hand, but I felt that if I gave the wrong answer, he might crush it into my skin at any moment. The thought, ‘Right, this man was a terrifying person,’ hit me. I immediately shook my head. I waved both hands vigorously and practically shouted.
“No, no! Absolutely not! Absolutely not! We are absolutely not that kind of relationship. If we were, would I dare ask the CEO for such a favor? It’s not like I have two lives… And the age difference between that Noona and me is huge. Is she thirty-eight or thirty-nine? Ugh, she’s practically an Auntie, so I’ve never once, not even a tiny bit, seen her as a woman or felt like dating—”
“…”
…Oops. In my effort to explain that there was nothing between us, I had overlooked the fact that Chu Gi-oh was also around the same age as Ms. Jin. His expression became stiffer than before, and I froze with my arms still waving in the air. However, I wasn’t Woo Min-jo for nothing. Without hesitating, I quickly regained my composure and continued smoothly.
“—though of course, it’s possible. In this day and age, what does age matter? Couples with large age gaps are often the ones who live better than anyone after marriage. They’d be reliable, financially prosperous, and since they have so much life experience, they’d lead the way so well.”
“…”
“But I just didn’t feel that way toward that Noona. Maybe because she has a younger brother around my age, she never treated me that way either. You know how they say there’s a destiny for everyone. Regardless of age, I think the only person like that for me in my entire life would be the CEO… I’ve thought things like that on my own… haha.”
I inwardly applauded, thinking I had handled it well. After a moment, as expected, Chu Gi-oh’s expression began to soften at my silver tongue. He tilted his chin slightly and asked, “Is that so?” then let out a smirk, unable to hide his pleasure.
Whenever he showed this side, he didn’t seem like a scary person, but rather someone easy to manipulate to my liking. Simple and ignorant. A one-way street. A world without red lights, a car without brakes. Perhaps the reason he had charged straight toward me, a man, without hesitation was because he was so simple. Regardless, I was already halfway successful.
“Yes. I used to take cold showers every day because I had to walk on eggshells around Kim Jeong-suk, but thanks to that Noona stepping up to fight for me, I was able to take hot showers, and she blocked Kim Jeong-suk whenever she tried to mistreat me. She fought a lot with Kang Moon-soo because of me, and she gave me pocket money several times. Of course, it’s nothing compared to what the CEO has done for me… but still, the human heart…”
Chu Gi-oh’s cheek twitched as he nodded, saying, “Hmm…” Perhaps feeling that showing too much joy was unbecoming, he stroked his chin thoughtfully before speaking.
“How much did she say she’s owed?”
“Ah… I think I’d have to ask her to know… The thing is… we were close, but only inside the coffee shop; we’ve never met privately outside. You might not believe it, but the only person I’ve met privately since being dragged here is the CEO. Because of Kim Jeong-suk’s surveillance, I couldn’t even go to the bathroom whenever I wanted.”
It was the truth, but I said it specifically to make Chu Gi-oh love me to death. As expected, he was over the moon. He couldn’t hide the joy boiling up inside him and let it all show.
“Then… should I find out for sure and let the CEO know?”
“Forget it.”
“Pardon?”
My heart sank, fearing that things were going wrong because of his dismissive attitude. However, his following words brought relief.
“The connection with the coffee shop is over, so why go back? I’ll take care of everything, so don’t worry about it. It’s not your business, so don’t get too deeply involved. It doesn’t look good to me either.”
“Ah…”
“No matter how much the money is, I’ll pay it, so don’t worry. I won’t just let it slide when she’s been that good to you.”
“…Thank you.”
With a smirk, he pulled me safely toward him as I was leaning against the window frame. After taking a long drag of his now-short cigarette, he exhaled smoke and spoke.
“If I do that, will you only think of me from now on?”
“O-of course.”
“Can you live well with me? As you know, I’m a bit old. Seventeen years, to be shameless.”
“…I like it better that way. Because of that.”
“…”
He stopped as he was bringing the cigarette back to his lips and stared intently at me. To be honest, I didn’t have any particular intention with that last comment. It wasn’t something I said to make him feel good; it just came out.
But it seemed differently to the listener; he muttered, “Fuck,” and took a sharp drag of the filter. He flicked the butt out toward the gravel outside the window, kicked the chair away, and flipped me over onto the desk.
In an instant, my shorts and underwear were pushed down below my knees. He gave my exposed buttocks a sharp slap. Then, his panting voice poured over me like a rainstorm.
“You little shit, if you don’t say something like that for even one day! Haa, does your mouth just grow thorns! You’re such a little thing, but you sure know how to flap your gums! I see now you’re not just a local, you’re international!”
“C-CEO!”
“Yes! Then I should treat you accordingly, can’t let you down! Get ready to fall completely for me today! My cock is fucking Harvard.”
“Wait, wait a moment. Outside, the burly men, I mean the people are there…!”
“Fuck this, why the [visit our site]hell does it matter if I’m playing with what’s mine! stolen contentWhat! What about it!!”
I couldn’t get up because of the hand pressing down on my back as he shouted. The urgent sound of a belt being loosened followed, and the moment I looked back, his cock pressed firmly into my hole.
“Aaaah…!”
“Fuck.”
As he pushed his cock in powerfully, Chu Gi-oh gripped my butt cheeks tightly with both hands. He squeezed and shook them as if he were going to tear them off, shouting obscene words.
“You little fucker, you only just realized this place is like a pair of tits. Should I just shove a bra in here!”
“Hng, CEO. Your voice, your voice is too, ngh. Too loud.”
“Can I or can’t I! Answer the question before I open the door and do it! Now!!”
The burly men must have heard Chu Gi-oh’s booming voice. Unaware that I was burning up inside, Chu Gi-oh just kept demanding an answer, saying, “Right?”
“You can, you can, do whatever you want. Ngh, just do it gently…!”
Then again, if he were the type of person to care about such things, he wouldn’t have stripped my pants off here in the first place.
“Really? Really! Don’t you dare try to take it back! I’ll sew you into it with a sewing machine and make you wear it for life!”
Then, Chu Gi-oh pushed his cock all the way in, making me tremble, and began to shout the things he wanted to buy for me.
“Stockings! Bras! What else do you want to wear!”
“Hnggg, really…!”
“Just say the word, I’ll buy it all!”
He must have dressed me in shorts for this. So he could strip them easily, shove his cock in easily, and talk dirty easily! And yet he used the weather as an excuse!
“By the way, your pussy is exceptionally tight today. What is this, a chewy candy?”
“Hng… please, stop…!”
“It’s exactly like shoving a cock into melted taffy. Look at how the juices are flowing! Even if we flew in a plane, this wouldn’t break!”
There was no way I would ever get used to his obscene way of speaking. If there were only one thing left to be miserable about in my life in the distant future, it would surely be this man’s dirty talk.
“Hey, missy, be honest with me. Since when were you leaking? You were throbbing since morning because you wanted to do it with me, right? Right or wrong!”
“I never… did. Ah… gently!”
I felt sorry for the burly men who must be hearing all this filth from outside. I felt terribly sorry for them, as they might be covering their ears in agony. I felt like I should cover his mouth with my lips or something. In a little while, I would surely start feeling it and let out moans. Then it would be over. The situation outside and everything else would vanish, and only the two of us would remain in the world, making a huge scene.
In an instant, his cock poked the spot I felt the [visit our site]most. Electricity surged through [Read on Read BL Novels]my entire [Read on Read BL Novels]body, and a moan escaped my lips.
“Hng…!”
