2.2 Tips. Pocket money. Sincerity.

Sighing, I folded the blanket and got out of bed. Today was Saturday, the day the kitchen auntie didn’t come in. Consequently, every Saturday was the day I opened the coffee shop. Originally, it was the job of the owner, Kim Jeong-suk, but from the moment I was dragged here, it became my responsibility. Since the coffee shop was where I ate and slept, it wasn’t difficult. It was just a pain to move after waking up.

Slipping on my slippers, I stopped by the bathroom first to rinse my mouth. Perhaps it was just my imagination, but a fishy taste kept lingering on the tip of my tongue. It tasted exactly like my own semen from back when I was immature. Rinsing with water wasn’t enough, so I squeezed out a generous amount of toothpaste and scrubbed the inside of my mouth as if scouring away grime. Only then did I feel like I could breathe.

After washing my face, I dragged my slippers toward the entrance. The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows was blindingly bright. Squinting, I unlocked the latch at the top of the door and swung it wide open to let in some fresh air.

Opening the door wasn’t the only thing on my list; there was plenty to do. I went to the kitchen to tackle the dishes left over from yesterday and organized the thermoses and cups I had pre-washed. I prepared the Obong trays and cloths, and filled the coffee, sugar, and creamer containers to the brim. After checking the ingredients for the day, I brought whatever was missing from the storage room and set it out. Since the weather had turned warm lately, more people were asking for iced coffee, so I had to check the ice supply. We didn’t freeze our own ice; we bought it from the supermarket across the street. This was based on Kim Jeong-suk’s judgment that it was cheaper than buying a machine. Fortunately, there was plenty of ice in the freezer.

Sweeping and mopping the hall had been my job from the start, [visit our site]so I continued with that. By the time I finished sweeping with the broom and scrubbing hard with a unauthorized copywet mop, it was [Read on Read BL Novels]nearly 8:00 AM. In a little while, Kim Jeong-suk and one or two of the girls would arrive for work.

I wondered what kind of hardship awaited me today. With the feeling of facing an adventure, I grabbed my cigarettes and stepped outside. I lit a cigarette while looking at the peaceful morning scenery, which stood in stark contrast to my own life. I didn’t know why I had ever tried to quit.

As I was smoking slowly and deliberately, Kim Jeong-suk appeared, driving the coffee shop’s car. After parking on one side of the shop, Kim Jeong-suk got out and tossed the car keys at me. Without a word of greeting, I snatched the keys out of the air.

“I was about to give you a beating if you were still sleeping in.”

Today, Kim Jeong-suk’s fashion consisted of a tight-fitting black sleeveless top and, as usual, white jeans that accentuated the figure. To top it off, a pair of open-toed yellow heels that didn’t match at all. Black nail polish was painted on the protruding toes. The hair, usually tied up, was left long and flowing, perhaps for a change of pace, and large hoop earrings hung from the ears. As for the makeup… it was an area I didn’t know much about, but ugh, it was really too much. If that eye makeup were just a bit lighter, it might actually look decent, but I couldn’t understand why all the madams insisted on such heavy makeup.

Kim Jeong-suk came over to my side and lit a cigarette. Perhaps out of irritation, the cigarette pack in the hand was crushed violently. It was soon tossed into a drum can behind us.

“You know the Daehan Motel downtown, right? If you go there, Byeol and Su will be waiting. Go pick them up.”

“Yes, sir.”

“And buy some cigarettes for me on your way back. Ah, money.”

Kim Jeong-suk opened the wallet and handed over a ten-thousand won bill. Then, visit our site[unauthorized copy]the words continued, “Buy two packs. Since you’re going anyway, buy one for yourself too.”

For once, a great deal of generosity was shown. It seemed Kim Jeong-suk was aware of having tormented me quite a bit over the last few days. Smoking heavily, Kim Jeong-suk scanned me from head to toe.

“Wear that today when you go for the Gimun delivery. You look good when you’re slimmed down. Stop wearing those uncomfortable jeans and wear something short, something short.”

Watching Kim Jeong-suk’s back as he entered the shop with a cigarette in his mouth, I flipped him off in my mind. Cut the crap. A few days ago, he had bought me short boxers from the market for less than five thousand won to use as pajamas, and since I had nothing else to wear, I wore them—only to hear all this nonsense.

Come to think of it, my pants were also yellow. The thought that I had accidentally become a “couple” with Kim Jeong-suk made me feel filthy. Even more so than when I dreamed of sucking Chu Gi-oh’s cock. I resolved to strip them off the moment I returned from the errand. With that determination, I got into the car. With bare feet in slippers, I slammed the accelerator and left the coffee shop. The wind rushing through the window was lukewarm and stifling, despite it being morning.

Byeol and Su were twenty-five-year-old peers and friends who had been together since middle and high school. Both of them, like me, lived this way because their parents were a mess. However, unlike me, who had stubbornly attended school to get a diploma, they had dropped out early in their second year of high school and entered this line of work. It was because there were so many rotten adults.

Dressed in tracksuits and without a trace of makeup, they looked far younger than their age. It wouldn’t have been strange at all if they were walking around in school uniforms. It was a total irony—people struggle to look young as they age, yet they are desperate not to look too old when they are young. Anyway, I picked up the two of them, bought cigarettes at a nearby convenience store, and was on the way back to the coffee shop. Just as I entered the alley of the supermarket where I had once polished off two bottles of soju at once, Su’s phone suddenly rang. Listening to the conversation, it sounded like it was Kim Jeong-suk.

“Yeah, Auntie, we’re on our way. Now? Here, at the supermarket. No—right in front of it.”

“Yes, okay,” Su said, hanging up the phone, and poked my shoulder with a finger. “Auntie says to hurry your ass up. Says it’s super urgent.”

What could be so super urgent? A delivery? [unauthorized copy]If that were the case, the instruction to hurry would have been given to Byeol Read on Read BL Novelsand Su, not me. Because stolen contentof the dream I had last night, I felt strangely uneasy.

It was when I rounded a curve and had only a few dozen meters left until the coffee shop. Everyone in the car, including myself, muttered simultaneously at the sight before us.

“What…?”

“What is it?”

“What the fuck is this?”

The small parking space in front of the coffee shop was packed with black cars. Three luxury sedans and two vans. Because the space was narrow, they couldn’t park side-by-side and had spilled over into the road. The moment I saw that, my breath hitched. After seeing someone just stepping out of the driver’s seat of a van, I slammed the car to a halt.

Jeong-sik, a large man dressed in a sharp black suit, waved his hand toward me as I screeched to a stop. In the back, Byeol and Su exchanged surprised words between themselves.

“What the hell is that crazy bastard doing here so early? Has he lost it?”

“Hey, I don’t think he came alone. Look at all those cars. What’s going on?”

“Omg. Did Auntie spend money on Gimun?”

“Even if she did, would Auntie be the one spending it? That son of a bitch Kang Moon-soo probably spent it. It’s so predictable.”

My heart began to race uncontrollably. This was because my thoughts were entirely different from the girls in the back seat.

No matter how much he said, ‘We’ll see each other again tomorrow,’ wasn’t this too early? Moreover, he didn’t call for me; he came directly to the shop.

Jeong-sik shouted loudly and gave a signal like a traffic director.

“What are you doing? Sleeping? Move it, fast! Hyung is waiting!”

Pushed by the hand of the youngest, Jeong-sik, the scene inside the shop was even more spectacular than I had imagined. The hall, which had never been full before, was packed. All eight tables that could seat four people were cramped with large men in suits. My eyes naturally darted around, searching for Chu Gi-oh.

Chu Gi-oh was sitting with his back to the window in the innermost seat, and since he was the largest of the bunch, he caught my eye instantly without much searching. Beyond his size, he stood out even more today because he was the only one wearing a dark gray suit. He was sitting across from two men who looked quite old, looking through a folder and conversing. The three luxury sedans likely belonged to them. They had an aura of people who held significant positions somewhere.

Kim Jeong-suk, standing at the kitchen counter, gave me a hurried signal with the eyes. It meant I should quickly go to Chu Gi-oh and greet him. Even though I knew Jeong-sik was outside, I backed away toward the entrance. Unless I was insane, how could I walk into that suffocating place of my own accord? At my action of shaking my head and retreating, Kim Jeong-suk muttered, “This son of a bitch…?” Nevertheless, my feet only moved backward, not forward.

It was then. A hyung sitting at the table right next to Chu Gi-oh raised his hand and gestured for me to come over. He was the man I had already seen twice, the one who had gripped [Read on Read BL Novels]my cock. Chu Gi-oh, who had been flipping through documents, noticed the man’s action Read on Read BL Novelsand whipped his head back. Suddenly. I locked eyes with those fierce eyes.

Grinning at me, he tapped the empty seat next to him. Then, the small shop was filled with his cavernous voice.

“Come here, quickly. I’ve left a spot for you.”

Including Chu Gi-oh, there were twenty people in total. And every single one of them ordered Ssanghwa-cha. Ah, except for one human being. That person, no matter the day or time, only drinks cold black coffee with two spoons of sugar.

The sofa was narrow, and since CEO Chu’s thigh was as thick as my waist on one side, I had no choice but to sit pressed right up against him. Unluckily, I was wearing short boxers, so the warmth of the touching skin was felt vividly.

“Here…”

Without making a mistake like yesterday, I placed the properly brewed coffee in front of CEO Chu. He snapped shut the folder labeled ‘Non-reflective Golf Course Construction Project Plan,’ lowered his right hand beneath the table, and immediately grabbed my thigh. Ah… I felt a strong force, and a moan escaped me involuntarily. I quickly lowered my head and bit my tongue. I felt him glance at me from the side.

His grip was enormous, enough to wrap around my thigh completely. With that hand, CEO Chu kneaded the inner thigh muscle particularly. All the while, he looked only at the directors in front of him and conversed calmly. The touch was soft at times, and at other times, it suddenly became forceful and rough. Every time that happened, my body jolted as if an electric current were passing through it.

A moment later, Su brought out two cups of Ssanghwa-cha. Perhaps because she had to make nineteen cups in a hurry, Su’s cheeks were lightly flushed. Thanks to that, the scent of Ssanghwa-cha permeated the entire shop. CEO Chu pointed with his chin toward the Ssanghwa-cha placed before the directors and spoke.

“Drink it while it’s warm. They say it’s the most expensive thing here; it’s got [visit our site]pine nuts, Read on Read BL Novelsegg yolks, and a lot of stuff in it.”

“CEO Chu, you should have some too. It’s morning, so you should fill your stomach. Will coffee be enough?”

“No, sir. I’ve always been bad at eating hot things. Just like my father, I even eat soup cold. This is just right for me.”

CEO Chu spoke, lifting the cold black coffee I had brewed with his left hand. Only after taking a sip did he finally look at me properly. Until then, his hand had been massaging my thigh.

“You brewed it well today.”

The kneading hand suddenly gripped the flesh painfully and didn’t think of moving for a while. I didn’t dare look back at him while he just stayed like that in silence. I was afraid of what kind of expression he was wearing while looking at me.

Only after an eternity did his head turn forward again. After finishing the coffee in the cup in one gulp, the strength in the hand gripping my thigh loosened. As I stealthily looked down at my thigh, all of his fingers had slipped inside my boxers. If he moved just a little higher, he would touch my balls and cock.

They continued talking about work until they finished the Ssanghwa-cha. Because CEO Chu had a separate schedule in the afternoon, it seemed they had gathered early in the morning to inspect the golf course construction site. Seeing this, it seemed that even if they were a gang, they didn’t only do illegal things. Even so, the Chu Gi-oh sitting next to me didn’t seem any different. In my eyes, he was still a terrifying man who could cut off a person’s ankle.

The two directors, having finished their hot Ssanghwa-cha, stood up first. CEO Chu, who nodded at the request not to come out, remained seated on the sofa. Only a few of the large men went out to see the two directors off. A moment later, I heard laughter right next to me.

“So. You were dressed like this knowing I was coming?”

“…Yes?”

“Leaving both your legs exposed. Asking me to touch them.”

“…”

The blatant touch began again. This time, he gripped exactly there. The moment my cock was kneaded, my waist arched sharply. It was because his thumb pressed exactly on the glans.

“Ah, CEO…!”

“What.”

His massive frame pressed firmly against my side, and he whispered into my ear. It was remarkably similar to the voice that had told me to suck his cock yesterday.

“What? If you called me, then speak.”

“The, the hand…”

“What about the hand?”

“If you could just let go…”

“Let go of what?”

“There, there,” I replied. Out of habit, I wanted to say cock or dick, but that felt too impolite. At my words, CEO Chu whispered, pressing even closer to my ear than before.

“Where is ‘there’? Cock? Dick? Or maybe your willy?”

“…My, my willy.”

I felt like I was going to cry having to answer such a perverted question. Soon, even more vulgar words followed, accompanied by hot breaths.

“I’m telling you, I did this on purpose. To ripen it and then pick it. It’s summer, isn’t it? A willy tastes best when picked in summer. By the way, your cock is quite big. I thought it would be small even here.”

His hand moved deeper, kneading as if he were about stolen contentto rip off my underwear. stolen contentFearing a reaction, I stolen contenthurriedly grabbed his hand with both of mine.

“Hng, C-CEO… please…”

At twenty-three, one could get hard just by a brush. Moreover, in a situation where I had skipped masturbating for a few days and couldn’t release the fluid, it would be even more so. Even if that weren’t the case, anyone would have to react to such blatant foreplay. I had already become half-hard.

“CEO, please…”

As I pleaded with a voice that didn’t sound like my own, trembling, the touch fortunately stopped. He stared intently at me from close range.

“Then do you want to do it?”

“…”

I looked at CEO Chu with a face that felt like it was about to explode from heat. I was screaming inside, asking why he was doing this, but he chuckled softly and pulled his hand out of my pants. Not only his hand, but he also pulled his lips away from my ear and detached his massive body that had been pressed against me. In an instant, he created distance and tapped my chin up to make me look at him. Then, he stared at me intently again.

“I came here because of you.”

“…”

“Now what shall we do?” he said as if whispering, raising an eyebrow as if urging me. The finger that had touched my chin moved up to my lips, tracing the line of my mouth. While blatantly teasing me with his hand, he continued.

“The car is fine, my office is fine. Or we could just finish it here. What’ll it be? Should I start the engine or send everyone out?”

Without realizing it, I looked back at Kim Jeong-suk standing by the kitchen. Knowing it was useless, I sent a desperate look for help. However, the moment our eyes met, Kim Jeong-suk hurriedly avoided my gaze. Not only that, he disappeared entirely into the kitchen. There was no one nearby—neither Byeol nor Su. Everyone had left the spot, unable to withstand the atmosphere. I had never trusted them to begin with, but being left alone in this situation brought a terrible sense of betrayal. I had been so kind to them all this time.

“I’m right here, where are you looking? Aren’t you focusing?”

My captured chin was forcibly turned back toward CEO Chu. I don’t know what my expression looked like, but he frowned menacingly and clicked his tongue.

“You spoke well yesterday. You practically gave an oration in front of me.”

“…”

“If you seduced a man that much to make him come all this way, you have to take responsibility. You can’t just pretend you don’t know. It’s not like you’re playing games with me. Isn’t that right, Jang-bae?”

At his words, a booming response came from the table right stolen contentnext to us. “That’s visit our siteright, Hyung! He absolutely must take responsibility! Otherwise, isn’t it a crime?”

The one who answered was the hyung who had gripped my cock. Jang-bae. The guy with a name that perfectly suited his face had an equally booming answer. He was trying to dry me out and kill me. My body instinctively jolted at Jang-bae’s loud voice, which felt like it would burst my eardrums. This time, CEO Chu raised both eyebrows simultaneously.

“Did you hear? Our Jang-bae says it’s a crime, a crime. To me, fraud is a grave sin, just like murder. You didn’t know that, did you?”

“CEO…”

“Stop just calling me that and speak. Yes or no.”

“…I’m sorry.”

I squeezed my eyes shut before continuing. From where I’m standing, Chu Gi-oh, what you’re doing to me right now seems more like a crime.

“No matter how much you want it… I really don’t think I can do that. I’m sorry, CEO.”

I managed to squeeze out that answer with all my courage. The moment I finished speaking, silence fell. I couldn’t bring myself to open my eyes. After a long while, CEO Chu let go of my chin.

“A difficult bitch changed her mind after waking up.”

His tone suggested he had expected me to act this way. After a moment, even his frowning expression relaxed, and he even let out a smirk. As he did, he suddenly grabbed my left hand and forced it to touch his cock. It was incredibly, terrifyingly erect. To the point where I felt sorry for him as a fellow man since I had rejected him. Holding my hand over his, he slowly rubbed his cock against my palm, speaking as if demanding.

“This is because of you. Keep that in mind when you reject me.”
