“Did you cry even when you were with a woman?”
“What did you say?”
“You cried like a new bride when I grabbed your dick and shook it. Remember? You were so cute I wanted to devour you.”
The incident when he was trapped in the freezer by Park Mu-jin’s gang when Ire was a trainee flashed through his mind. It was something he didn’t even want to remember. When Ire glared at Kim Ha-yoon for being so annoying, Kim Ha-yoon opened his mouth and moved his fingers back and forth in a circle.
“Or should I put it in here and do it? Until you feel better.”
“Shut up. If you say one more word, I’ll throw you into the incinerator alive.”
“How scary-.”
There was no point in dealing with him any further, it would only make his head throb. Ire sighed and stood up. He was about to leave without regret when Kim Ha-yoon’s voice stopped him in his tracks.
“Coward.”
That one word scratched him properly, and he turned back. He kicked Kim Ha-yoon, who was grinning slyly, with his foot. Unable to balance because he was handcuffed, Kim Ha-yoon fell backward. He climbed on top of Kim Ha-yoon’s body, which was rolling on the floor with a thud, and threw a punch. Thwack, his face turned and the corner of his mouth burst. The sight of him licking the blood and laughing again made Ire’s anger boil over.
“Do you still see me as that moronic idiot who obediently followed your orders?”
Ire gritted his teeth and twisted his collar. He yelled, asking what kind of human being he was to be able to do this. How thick-skinned did he have to be to joke around as if nothing had happened after doing that to him?
Unable to calm down, Ire grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the bathroom. Then he threw him into the corner of the bathroom. Kim Ha-yoon’s eyes were filled with desire as he watched Ire, who was panting and unable to hide his anger.
“I think I’m a pervert, damn it. Why do I feel so good when you hit me?”
The corner of Ire’s lips twisted. Okay, you son of a bitch. Since you’re a pervert, I’ll treat you accordingly. He climbed on top of Kim Ha-yoon, who was sitting against the wall, and pulled down his pants and underwear. He grabbed his chin roughly with one hand and rubbed his dick with the other.
“Here, eat this well, you son of a bitch.”
Without hesitation, he shoved his dick into his mouth. Seeing the corners of his lips rising even in the midst of all this, Ire wondered if he was doing the right thing. His pride wouldn’t let him turn back, so he unhesitatingly thrust it all the way into his throat. Kim Ha-yoon’s handsome brow furrowed, and his neck and face turned red in an instant. As his Adam’s apple bobbed violently, Ire grabbed Kim Ha-yoon’s hair.
“Open it properly! Before I tear your throat apart.”
Even with blood seeping from his torn lips, Kim Ha-yoon’s eyes curved. As Ire savagely shoved his dick to the back of his throat, the area under his eyes turned red.
Without realizing it, a sadistic impulse arose, and his hip movements became rough. Unaccustomed to the act, veins stood out on his neck and temples, and finally, physiological tears streamed down his eyes.
Seeing that, Ire belatedly came to his senses.
I’m crazy….
Regretting it, he pulled his dick out of his mouth, and Kim Ha-yoon coughed and laughed.
“Why did you stop? I’m enjoying it?”
“…….”
“You. You’re the leader of those guys, right? Then you should be able to do even more. Is this all you’re going to do to get revenge on someone who humiliated you?”
With a ferocious expression, Ire straightened his pants and underwear and stood up. But Kim Ha-yoon continued to provoke him, and eventually, Ire kicked him in the abdomen.
“Ugh….”
Even after being hit, Kim Ha-yoon chuckled as if he liked it. Crazy bastard! Psycho! Ire was about to hit him again when he heard people outside. Ire came out, wondering what was going on, and had no choice but to freeze on the spot. Jang-cheon, Gilsu, and Baek Seol, who should have been downstairs, were lined up, their faces pressed against the glass, looking at him.
“W-we suddenly heard a loud noise and came up? You’re okay, right?”
As if they had made a promise, the three of them stepped away from the glass and looked around in vain. Ire gritted his teeth and came out. After telling them that it was nothing and going downstairs, the three who remained in the hallway quietly exchanged glances.
A moment later, the bathroom door opened and Kim Ha-yoon staggered out and sat on the bed. His face was busted, but his expression looked somehow refreshed. Baek Seol, Jang-cheon, and Gilsu seriously pondered what this strange situation was. The conversations they had overheard were also unusual.
Unable to come to a conclusion, they went downstairs, and Ire called Gilsu.
“Go release that guy.”
Gilsu was puzzled because he thought Ire would keep him as a hostage.
“Release him? Where to?”
Instead of answering, Ire’s eyes flashed fiercely. Gilsu was excited and didn’t ask any more questions, quickly going upstairs. When he opened the door, Kim Ha-yoon was staring at him intently. Soon after, Jang-cheon abruptly covered Kim Ha-yoon’s face with a black cloth.
“What is this?”
At those words, a smile spread across Gilsu’s face.
“Release. We’re going to take you to a good place.”
After days of heavy rain, the bright blue sky revealed itself. However, puddles of water formed in various places on the ground, so the wheels of the military trucks were dirtied each time they passed. Kim Seon-oh sighed as he looked at the passing scenery outside.
This place had a lot of particularly desolate land and old, abandoned houses, and it made him feel strange every time he saw it. Someone must have lived there before. He imagined families gathering and eating happily, then his curiosity turned to wondering where they had gone.
After driving for a while, a radio message came from a helicopter nearby. Kim Do-cheol’s face twisted at the news that a person presumed to be Kim Ha-yoon was tied to a pillar. First, they positioned the military truck in the rear, and only Kim Seon-oh and Kim Do-cheol headed that way.
Two helicopters were circling around, and as reported, a person was tied to a pillar. It was difficult to tell exactly because he was wearing a black cloth, but he looked very similar to Kim Ha-yoon in terms of height and build.
“Looks like him, right?”
“He’s uselessly buff, so it must be him.”
“I know. He’s annoying even with his face covered.”
After stopping the car and getting out, they looked around. Then he sent a radio message to the other members to keep them from coming near. He judged that it would not be good to show the man who would become the Chairman of district a hanging in that state. When they went closer and took off the black cloth, Kim Ha-yoon frowned.
“You’re here early. Do you know how long I’ve been tied up here?”
Seeing the bruises on his face, Kim Do-cheol took out his gun with an incredulous expression. While Kim Seon-oh was wary of the surroundings in case there were any ambushes, Kim Seon-oh untied the rope and separated Kim Ha-yoon from the pillar.
“Are you okay? What happened to your face again…? Where did you throw away your clothes and wear this rag….”
“Shut up and give me a cigarette. I’m going crazy from withdrawal.”
Kim Seon-oh handed him a cigarette and lit it for him. A sense of relief was evident on his face as he took a deep drag and exhaled. Looking closely, the tip of his ear was also torn. Kim Seon-oh had seen Kim Ha-yoon since he was very young, but this was the first time his face had been so messed up.
“How did your ear get like this?”
“I got shot. Bang.”
Kim Seon-oh and Kim Do-cheol were speechless as he pretended to shoot with his fingers. Judging from his expression, it didn’t seem like a joke. They moved to the car, and Kim Seon-oh asked him about this and that on the way, but Kim Ha-yoon closed his mouth and closed his eyes, saying he was tired.
Kim Seon-oh wanted to ask if he had met Ire, but he stopped, worried that Kim Do-cheol would become suspicious. A helicopter was following overhead, and a vehicle carrying armed soldiers was returning the way they had come.
Only after the car became quiet did Kim Ha-yoon open his eyes and shift his gaze out the window. Is he watching me from somewhere over there? He gave me a favor by saying he would release me, but I didn’t know he would tie me up in this barren land.
He used to have some compassion.
When he put his hand in his pants pocket, he felt the gold ore he had received from Ire.
―Tell us the location and give us a share.
The plan to restore district d and create a new base. He would have thought it was a pipe dream in the past, but he thought it might be possible with the current Ire. What he witnessed while coming out of the lab was somewhat shocking. There were more members than he thought, and it seemed to be operating systematically. Moreover, the many infected were gone without a trace.
When he asked how he did it, Ire said that he had processed them whenever he had time and piled the corpses in one building. The way he calmly said that he would incinerate them as soon as the electricity came on was different from the way he vomited after shooting the infected with a gun.
“Should we go to the hospital first?”
Kim Ha-yoon shook his head without hesitation at Kim Do-cheol’s question.
“I’m going to convene a committee meeting right away. I have something important to tell you.”
