“Well, I would have resented you if you hadn’t regained consciousness and died, but you woke up safely, so it’s fine.”
“Didn’t the Chairman pass away?”
“He was an old man who didn’t have long to live. He was my biological father who never gave me any affection. He’s nothing compared to you, Tae-hwon.”
“Are you really alright with that?”
“Tae-hwon. You keep worrying about me, but the person who needs to be worried about right now isn’t me, it’s you. You’ve lost your memories, you might lose your right arm, and you’re being chased by the Gyeongjeong Faction for your life, who’s worrying about who?”
That was true.
Tae-hwon drooped his shoulders and took Kwon Rae-i’s support as he moved his feet. He limped back to the bed, one step at a time. Even in the dim bedroom, Kwon Rae-i’s white hair and skin were clearly visible.
He laid Tae-hwon down on the bed first and carefully covered him with the blanket. Then, he smoothed his hair and whispered softly.
“Stop worrying about it. We kissed so intensely, and you still only have old things on your mind, Tae-hwon?”
“……”
“Ha. What should I do? Should I just have sex with you…….”
What.
Tae-hwon was startled and stopped him.
“No, you can’t.”
Kwon Rae-i merely whispered calmly, as if he knew Tae-hwon would answer that way.
“I know. You can’t. If we do it now, you might go into shock, Tae-hwon. Let’s recover your body first.”
“What are you talking about? You can’t even if I recover. We really shouldn’t do something like that.”
In fact, even kissing was something that shouldn’t have been done. He had been driven to the edge of a cliff and swept away by a storm, and somehow ended up doing it, but even that, he didn’t know it would be such an intense kiss. He just thought it would be a little, a slight touch and release.
But in this situation, sex, what was that, it was something that shouldn’t even be said as a passing joke.
‘Did I misjudge?’
Should I have refused the kiss to the end?
Feeling uneasy, Tae-hwon swallowed a sigh and spoke with difficulty.
“Young Master. I’ll say it again, but I think we’re going down the wrong path like this. We…….”
But, before he could finish speaking, Kwon Rae-i got angry.
“God, I’m sick of it. I know without you drawing a line like that. I know everything. I know that you would never see me as a romantic partner even if you died and came back to life, I know that.”
His beautiful eyes were distorted as if to show it. Sharp, blue-gray eyes questioned and cornered Tae-hwon.
“Who said anything about dating? Dating, god, I don’t even want that. But sex is possible for anyone with a hole and a dick, right?”
His growling voice and expression were filled with deep resentment.
“Just putting it in and cumming, that’s all it takes, can’t you even give me that much?”
“No…… I, I keep telling you no, why do you keep insisting? How did you grow up to be so stubborn? Who taught you to be so unreasonable, Young Master?”
“Who else would it be but Woo Tae-hwon?”
Kwon Rae-i turned away from Tae-hwon. He walked to the door and opened the doorknob roughly, and looked back at Tae-hwon with his arm propped against the bedroom doorway.
“Just get better. I’ll make you feel good. Really.”
And Kwon Rae-i touched his crotch in front of Tae-hwon. Only then did Tae-hwon notice that his front was bulging up to the middle of his thigh. Kwon Rae-i slowly stroked his tightly swollen crotch with his palm and whispered.
“And I’m going to go masturbate now while thinking about the kiss I had with you, Tae-hwon.”
Tae-hwon desperately had to turn his gaze away, pretending not to see.
“As you can see, I’m so horny that I think I can easily get off three times. Keep that in mind and recover quickly.”
Thud. The door slammed shut as if to show off.
***
Tae-hwon barely slept. He spent the night staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, and finally got out of bed when dawn broke and the twilight faded.
He had been lying down all night, lost in thought, but his head was still complicated and nothing was sorted out. He hadn’t come to any conclusions either. He could easily accept that his life had been cut in half, but what could he do about it? Right now, what was important to Tae-hwon wasn’t his own life.
‘Young Master Rae-i.’
He was worried about Kwon Rae-i. Right now, he seemed emotionally unstable at first glance. Because of Woo Tae-hwon, of all people.
Of course, the Kwon Rae-i that Tae-hwon knew, the ten-year-old him, wasn’t very stable either. The young master was weak and suffered from various minor illnesses and was lonely. If Tae-hwon wasn’t there, he would cry, whine, or get angry for days. Every time, Tae-hwon had a hard time trying to appease the young master with all his heart.
‘But it’s different from then.’
The reason why Kwon Rae-i was shaking so much now, 10 years later, wasn’t because he was sick or lonely. It was entirely Woo Tae-hwon’s fault. Tae-hwon had betrayed him, murdered his father, and thoroughly rejected his active advances.
‘Ha…… Well, I had no choice but to reject him. I can understand that.’
He didn’t know the reasons for the betrayal and murder at all, but he could guess why he had completely blocked the young master’s feelings. It was because they had a relationship like a son and family. Besides, there was a ten-year age difference.
Now that he had lost his memories, he felt like he was twenty, but before he lost his memories, he was thirty. How could he dare to do something so shameless to the young master, who was ten years younger and whom he had raised with his own hands? It would be a problem if he could do that.
‘As expected, I have no choice but to reject the young master’s feelings, but the situation is what it is right now. God…….’
Could he hurt the already unstable Kwon Rae-i any more than this?
He had vaguely gone along with it and even kissed him.
He really didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t accept him. But he couldn’t push him away either. Tae-hwon was already feeling guilty and regretful to the point of madness, but in the midst of all this, Kwon Rae-i was openly running at him, saying he liked him, and it felt like he was going crazy.
‘No, maybe I’ve already gone crazy and lost my memories.’
“Hoo…….”
Tae-hwon, who had repeatedly let out low sighs, slowly got up from the bed and grabbed the doorknob of the bedroom. Recovering his body was a priority, but he was tired and stuffy from tossing and turning all night with his eyes open. It wasn’t like lying down would give him an answer, so he thought it would be better to change his mood even a little.
Creak.
As he stepped out of the bedroom, the open interior of the house was clearly visible.
It was an incredibly modern and sophisticated house.
The place where Tae-hwon was standing was the 3rd floor, and the huge chandelier attached to the ceiling fell all the way to the 1st floor in a swirling shape, illuminating the space. The floor height was incredibly high.
Tae-hwon seriously admired as he limped along the glass railing on the 3rd floor.
‘Is this the young master’s house? It’s definitely not the Separate House in Gyeongjeong where we lived together. It’s like some kind of exhibition hall.’
It was more like an artistic work than a house where people lived.
Large black marble was meticulously laid on the floor, and the walls were painted with pure white paint without a single stain. Not only that, but pinpoint lighting was embedded in every ceiling he could see, and a huge piece of art was hung under each one.
Tae-hwon stopped in front of a dazzling abstract painting with blue oil paint and admired the painting. It seemed to be worth at least hundreds of millions. He was lost in thought for a moment, then turned his head and scanned the doors lined up along the hallway. He thought about where Kwon Rae-i might be among them, but he didn’t have the courage to open them and go in. He didn’t want to wake him up either.
At the end of the hallway, there was a staircase on the left that led to each floor. And on the right, there was an elevator. He didn’t know why there was even an elevator installed in the house. But it was lucky for Tae-hwon right now.
Tae-hwon, who was in pain in his leg, felt relieved and got on the elevator and went down to the 2nd floor. There were closed doors everywhere on the 2nd floor as well, and as he went along the straight passage, he came to a private study filled with books. A wooden desk, an armchair, and a green flowerpot caught his eye. The rug on the floor was also soft.
Tae-hwon reached out his left arm to pick out a book from the bookshelf. But the movement stopped just before. In the end, he couldn’t touch it and turned back as he was.
Then he went down to the 1st floor, and a wide lobby and an open-plan living room unfolded before him. The furniture was all made of high-quality wood, and there was a wall-mounted TV and display cabinet that could be automatically stored on the wall, and a passage connected to the dining room. Beyond the dining room, there was a kitchen with an island counter.
A display case filled with wine and liquor. A pantry filled with all sorts of food ingredients. Cooking utensils perfectly displayed according to size……. Tae-hwon repeatedly admired, then barely took a glass of water from the water purifier and turned around.
‘Shall I go up one last time?’
There was a button in the elevator that went to the roof. He guessed it probably connected to the rooftop. He decided to go up there while he was at it and came back to the living room and looked at the opposite side.
At that moment, the front door came into view in the distance.
‘Iron bars?’
