Jeong Tae-ui barely knew anything about Riegrow. All I knew was that the guy was incredibly dangerous and someone I should stay far away from. But then, did I know much about Ilay? Not much. I had only talked to him a few times on the phone. While I might have been a bit better than others at figuring out people after a few conversations, I can't really define someone just from a handful of calls without even seeing their face. However, like most people who've had a few conversations with a stranger, I had a first impression of Ilay. It was a vague idea of the kind of person he might be: someone you could talk to, someone whose conversations sometimes made you feel heavy but also cheerful, yet who every now and then gave off a chilly, water-like shiver. Come to think of it, some of that impression seemed to be right. But then, how much did I really know about either of them? Jeong Tae-ui walked down the hallway, rubbing his neck, not caring that the security camera was already recording him, or that it might record him more. He clicked his tongue, a bitter taste in his mouth. "Damn it. This is a fraud, a total scam. How can such a beautiful hand be attached to the wrist of a guy like that?" It was a hand so beautiful that my eyes were naturally drawn to it. Even seeing his bare hands at the beach, after he’d taken off his gloves, the feeling hadn't changed. In fact, it was even prettier than when it moved on screen. But Jeong Tae-ui knew. That man could casually swing that fist at him. And the fact that he'd cut Jeong Tae-ui's throat the moment he felt like it hadn't changed either. I sensed it during the last call. No matter if we talked a few dozen or a few hundred times, that man would never see me as anything more or less than a pure stranger. Yes, thinking about it like that, Ilay and Riegrow were definitely the same person. “Seriously, this is a scam……. Even if they say it doesn’t suit me, maybe I should just cut off those hands and replace them with mine. They’re wasted on a guy like him.” But considering his neat, well-defined, white face, his looks were certainly fitting for the owner of such a hand. The real problem, however, wasn't his hand or face; it was his personality. Jeong Tae-ui suddenly slowed his pace. What had happened that morning came to mind. That morning, the man who had targeted Ilay with a crossbow last night had died. Ilay had told Jeong Tae-ui that he would take care of it after returning to Europe, and he had kept his word—until that man had approached again. It was morning when they returned to the branch building after their march. After eating, they couldn't even rest and had to immediately start their morning duties. People grumbled and cursed as they carried their gear into the building. Jeong Tae-ui was also complaining, muttering, "They're really overworking us," as he picked up the load he’d set down. Then, he suddenly saw someone and murmured, "Oh." A young man stood out among the rough, rugged men of the European branch, appearing somewhat small—though in reality, he wasn't that much different from an average-sized man. Jeong Tae-ui stared at him, wondering why he looked familiar, and then realized. It was the man he had seen last night. He hadn't seen him clearly, but he had seen him giving blowjob to Ilay. His profile and jawline looked familiar, so he looked again and confirmed it was indeed that young man. Jeong Tae-ui cleared his throat, feeling awkward for no reason. My eyes hadn't even met the young man's, and I hadn't directly encountered that embarrassing scene yesterday, yet I still felt awkward. So, that’s him, huh. That's Ilay’s type: a smaller than average build, with relatively delicate and slender features. Jeong Tae-ui felt a wave of gloom. His gaze, which had been fixed on Xinlu, returned to his mind, and he remembered the concern from earlier.  I knew I should be careful, but I didn't know how I could be careful. I couldn't just fold Xinlu up and put him in my pocket, and frankly, if Xinlu decided to go, all I could do was stare helplessly. That man, Ilay, was undoubtedly overwhelming, powerful enough to make one feel their life was in danger. Yet, on the other hand, he possessed an equally distinct and intense primal charm. Hadn't I felt it so desperately last night? Jeong Tae-ui's chest suddenly tightened, and he grew even more depressed. I couldn't shake the unsettling thought of whether I could even stand a chance if that man seriously pursued Xinlu. As Jeong Tae-ui was lost in this gloomy contemplation, it happened. In front of everyone, the man with his head wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage lunged at Ilay. A gleaming blue blade, aimed directly at Ilay's side, swiftly closed in on him. Jeong Tae-ui was about ten paces away from Ilay, adjusting his pack, lost in thought. Then he saw it. The blade, about a span long, was sharp enough to cut through flesh and bone. Just as it was about to touch Ilay's side. Ilay turned. He gave the man a fleeting glance, then his eyes met Jeong Tae-ui's. It was a very brief moment, too short to even tell if his eyes truly met, but he smiled slightly. You understand, don't you? It's not my will that breaks the promise. This is out of my hands. That smile seemed to say just that. And then, Ilay slashed the reckless and foolish man who had probably charged at him in despair. Without hesitation, he slit the man's throat in one swift motion with the very knife the man had brought. A fountain of blood erupted from the deep, half-severed gash in his neck. Drenched in the spray, Ilay tossed the knife onto the ground like garbage. He then wiped the blood from his eyelids with the back of his hand, leaving only his eyes stark white against his blood-smeared face. Jeong Tae-ui stood frozen, staring blankly at the scene. It had happened mere meters away. A few drops of blood even splattered onto Jeong Tae-ui's cheek and collar. No one uttered a word. They simply watched the man slowly collapse, gushing blood, and Ilay standing expressionlessly before him, looking down indifferently. Ilay lifted his gaze from the fallen man. His eyes briefly met Jeong Tae-ui's again. Jeong Tae-ui, looking at the now-dead man, murmured quietly. ‘Another instance of self-defense.’ Ilay was not a man who would miss the sarcasm hidden in those words, and although he must have heard the murmur, he merely curled the corners of his lips in a faint, almost imperceptible smile. Jeong Tae-ui wiped the blood from his cheek with his thumb and began to walk. As Jeong Tae-ui passed Illy and entered the building, a short while later, the instructors rushed over. With a troubled and exasperated expression, they sternly warned Illy. The warning was that while they couldn't hold him accountable under regulations, if this continued, they wouldn't overlook it, and that further incidents would result in measures being taken. It was the kind of warning that neither Ilay nor even Jeong Tae-ui would scoff at. Jeong Tae-ui rubbed his arms again, feeling a chill. Even inside the perfectly air-conditioned building, recalling the morning's spectacle made his stomach churn and a cold shiver run down his spine. He was Ilay, and at the same time, he was Riegrow. A man who, even in such a situation, didn't bat an eyelid and showed not an ounce of difference from his usual self. That very point was what Jeong Tae-ui found most unbearable. "He actually came here because he could kill people without being punished, didn't he?"  Jeong Tae-ui muttered grumpily to himself. I didn't want to think that way, but what if he was someone with a strange liking to kill people from the start? "Who, Tay hyung?"  Leaning against the wall and staring blankly at his feet, Jeong Tae-ui suddenly looked up in surprise at the unexpected voice. A few steps ahead, Xinlu stood still, gazing at him. When their eyes met, his wide smile was as sweet as cotton candy today. "Oh, Xinlu. How long have you been standing there?" "Since you said 'those beautiful hands are wasted on him.’ Whose hands are that nice?"  Xinlu asked, tilting his head slightly. At the subtle question, Jeong Tae-ui quickly waved his hand. "No, no one. That’s someone you don't need to worry about. Someone you really shouldn't get to know." "Hmm……." Xinlu stared at Jeong Tae-ui for a moment, and then nodded with a full smile. "Yes. Whatever it is, Hyung, don't worry too much about it. It’s only been a few days, but you look really stressed. ……Are you on your way back from seeing Instructor Jeong? I hope you didn’t get caught." Xinlu spoke with concern. The floor they were currently on was somewhere I shouldn't have been. However, I, who was already prepared to transcribe ten volumes of the disciplinary code, had nothing much left to fear. I figured that once I was caught in the records, it didn't matter if it was once or ten times. Jeong Tae-ui quietly looked down at Xinlu. Just looking at him would make me smile. He is so beautiful and lovable every time I see him. Simply looking at his pure and innocent demeanor calmed my mind. What's more, was that sweet smile. "Xinlu." "Yes?" "…….Just." Jeong Tae-ui called his name and chuckled aimlessly. Xinlu tilted his head with a strange expression, but soon showed that lovely smile. Seeing that smile, Jeong Tae-ui's heart ached. This joy I have never felt before— perhaps this must be the happiness of romance everyone talks about. I wasn't sure if I can call this dating, but I liked Xinlu, and Xinlu also knew my feelings and feels something for me as well, so it wouldn't be wrong to call it dating. Jeong Tae-ui even remembered that they had kissed, even if it was on the cheek, and he smiled happily to himself. "Where are you going?" "Oh. I'm on my way back to my room. I've just finished my work right now. I had a lot to do today, so I finished a bit late." "I see. ……Alright, then go get some rest. I'll see you later." Jeong Tae-ui suppressed his regret and patted Xinlu's shoulder. Xinlu, also seemingly regretful, was silent for a moment before speaking. "Okay, then take care of yourself. Don't forget, we're going somewhere after your training ends." That slightly playful, whining tone made Jeong Tae-ui's heart ache once more. This really must be the happiness of romance. "Yea, see you later then……." A smile, unwilling to be suppressed, slowly crept onto his face, and Jeong Tae-ui rubbed his mouth with his hand, muttering shyly. The next moment, he fell silent. The smile instantly vanished from his expression. This was because he saw a man rounding the stairwell behind Xinlu, directly in front of Jeong Tae-ui. Ilay Riegrow. Perhaps realizing Jeong Tae-ui's expression had instantly hardened, Xinlu looked back with a puzzled face. Ilay, who had turned from the stairwell and was walking towards them, also stopped his gaze on Jeong Tae-ui's face before looking at Xinlu as he turned around. "……." "……." A subtle silence fell. Ilay looked at Xinlu. Xinlu also looked at Ilay. Jeong Tae-ui nervously alternated his gaze between the two. Whenever I thought of Xinlu in front of this man, I felt a faint sense of unease. It was an instinctive anxiety, a fear of something precious being taken away. Just like now. "……Tay hyung. I'll get going now. Please be careful on your way back," Breaking the short, heavy silence, Xinlu spoke quietly. His back was facing Jeong Tae-ui, so his expression wasn't visible, but a faint wariness was in his voice. Jeong Tae-ui felt relieved by that voice. At least at this moment, what Xinlu felt for that man was not interest or curiosity. He was guarding against him with a defensive heart. Even if Xinlu was wary, a monster like man would have no hesitation in taking what he wanted by force.  Still, Jeong Tae-ui felt a slight ease in Xinlu's reaction. There had been a worry lingering at the bottom of his heart that Xinlu might somehow be drawn to that man's threatening charm. " Unn . See you later then." "Yes. I'll contact you." Xinlu turned back to Jeong Tae-ui and smiled sweetly. It was a slightly stiff yet still lovely smile. The thought that Ilay was also watching this smile from over there didn't entirely put Jeong Tae-ui at ease, but he leaned back, observing them as if enjoying a show. His eyes held a hint of amusement. Xinlu bid Jeong Tae-ui goodbye and turned to walk towards his room. Ilay was standing in his path. As he drew closer to him, his steps became stiffer, like a young animal facing a predator, with its fur bristling in fear. One step, then another. The distance between Xinlu and Ilay gradually closed. Ilay stood leaning against the door, arms crossed, silently watching him with a smile. At one moment, Jeong Tae-ui's heart suddenly warmed. "Xin—" Just as Jeong Tae-ui was about to open his mouth. Xinlu, who was a couple of steps away from Ilay, heard the call and turned to Jeong Tae-ui. At the same time, Ilay straightened up and reached out an arm, snatching Xinlu by the waist. Without a chance to react, Ilay pulled Xinlu into an embrace, pushing him against the wall and pressing his body close. Ilay's long fingers gripped Xinlu's chin, tilting it up. Then he bit into Xinlu's lips as if to devour them. Ilay's thick tongue delved into Xinlu's parted mouth. Xinlu's eyes widened. "Ilay! Stop it!" Jeong Tae-ui roared in a surge of fury, rushing towards them. Even as Jeong Tae-ui yelled, Ilay seemed not to hear him. He lowered one hand and brazenly seized Xinlu's crotch. A short gasp escaped Xinlu's lips. Ilay's large hand held Xinlu's crotch, slowly and forcefully rubbing and kneading. The hand, having burrowed between his legs, sensuously traced the path from his buttocks to his groin. Over a single layer of clothing, that hand, pressed against Xinlu's genitals, took on an utterly lewd and dark gleam. "Ilay!!" Jeong Tae-ui grabbed Ilay's shoulder and yanked him back. Ilay, as if he had intended to comply from the start, readily pulled away. Jeong Tae-ui seized him by the collar and slammed him against the wall. "Don't! Leave him alone!" Jeong Tae-ui cried out, eyes blazing with fury. His mind felt scorched black. Recalling the moment Ilay grabbed Xinlu and bit his lips, the moment he pushed his hand between Xinlu's legs, Jeong Tae-ui felt suffocated. Ilay looked down at Jeong Tae-ui as if amused, but then shifted his gaze to Xinlu. Jeong Tae-ui, who was infuriated by the attitude that conveyed he didn't care about the likes of him, tightened his grip on Ilay's collar. "Ilay……!!" "Hyung……! I'm fine. Don't." However, the person who stopped Jeong Tae-ui was Xinlu, who was frantically tugging at his collar beside him, looking flustered. Jeong Tae-ui held Ilay by the collar and looked at Xinlu. With clear signs of bewilderment, Xinlu's unsteady gaze shifted between Ilay and Jeong Tae-ui. Xinlu's voice, repeatedly whispering "Hyung, don't, don't fight," sounded incredibly anxious and uneasy. Hearing that voice, Jeong Tae-ui's heart ached again. He glared at Ilay for a moment before slowly releasing his grip. Ilay chuckled faintly and smoothed his collar. "Quite excellent. Much more delectable than he looks……, Unn ?" "……!!" Jeong Tae-ui's anger flared up once more at Ilay's low, laughter-laced murmuring. But as he clenched his fist, Xinlu grabbed him from the side. Jeong Tae-ui looked at Xinlu with a face hardened white with fury, but Xinlu, who was too anxious and looking as if he might burst into tears at any moment, shook his head. Jeong Tae-ui barely managed to steady his ragged breath and stepped back from Ilay. Then he spoke to Xinlu in a low voice. "Go inside. ……It's okay. Go on." Xinlu, who still looked uneasy, looked at Jeong Tae-ui. Then he looked at Ilay—with eyes that were far from kind, which was Jeong Tae-ui's only faint relief. Not wanting Xinlu to remain in that spot, within Ilay's sight, Jeong Tae-ui urged him to go again. Xinlu, as if understanding his true feelings, nodded. And slowly, he began to walk away. Jeong Tae-ui didn't move until Xinlu, who had turned back several times to check, finally entered his room and closed the door. Ilay, who was standing right beside him, also remained still. Jeong Tae-ui continued to stare in the direction Xinlu had disappeared, as if chasing an afterimage, before slowly turning his gaze to Ilay. Ilay was standing with his arms crossed, looking at the opposite wall, seemingly lost in thought. Feeling Jeong Tae-ui's glare, he only dropped his eyes lazily. Jeong Tae-ui slowly unclenched the fist he had still been holding tight. With a sigh, the intensely burning anger that had flared up momentarily began to fade away. I was rarely one to get violently angry, nor was I the type to contain such emotions for long. Jeong Tae-ui felt a little pathetic, and stepped back. He asked, unpleasantly and gloomily. "What are you playing at? Are you trying to pick him up or something?" A small light of curiosity flickered in Ilay's eyes. That interest was only the desire for something. "He's not yours yet, is he?" "Isn’t he? I think Xinlu likes me too." When Jeong Tae-ui said that, Ilay chuckled softly. It was a laughter with slight disappointment. "Listen, Tay. You have the wrong idea again. I'm not talking about emotions like 'liking' or whatever. You can have those feelings as much as you want. I don't want it. I’m only interested in brief and intense pleasure." "—So." Anxiety, nervousness, and an overwhelming sense of displeasure spread across his chest. Jeong Tae-ui stared straight at Ilay. Ilay met his gaze with cool, deep black eyes that revealed none of his thoughts. This was a man who would get what he wanted, no matter what. He was not a person to give up or abandon a desire. That's why I can't back down. I couldn't just stand by if Ilay intended to claw at and cut down Xinlu, or anything else I held dear. No matter what. Even if I’m not strong enough to try to stop him. Suddenly, Ilay chuckled, almost a sigh. He shook his head, looking as if he'd thrown up his hands. "Alright, fine. I don’t want to fight you right now, anyway. Even if we were to fight, now isn't the time. So, let’s make a compromise. Let’s both take a step back." Jeong Tae-ui frowned slightly at Ilay's low, suggestive words. I couldn't guess what this man, so openly displaying his desire for Xinlu, would say something like that. He looked at Ilay, then quietly clicked his tongue. Damn it. I finally understood what uncle was trying to say to me. It was best to simply not be noticed or involved, regardless of whether it's good or bad. Jeong Tae-ui said bitterly. "I'll hear your 'compromise' first. Though I doubt I even have much of a choice." Ilay smiled at Jeong Tae-ui's grumbling, dissatisfied words. Then he spoke as if making a grand concession. "He's the one you’re interested in, isn't he? To me, he certainly looks appetizing and gets me hard-on. It's my rule of mine to get what I want, but as I said, I don’t want to fight you right now. So— no matter what I do to him, don’t get in my way. In return, I won't force myself on him." "What?" "Didn’t you get it? As long as he's not entirely yours yet, you're to have no say if I approach him, seduce him, or drag him to bed. In return, I won't use threats or force him to do something he doesn’t want to do." Jeong Tae-ui stared blankly at Ilay for a moment, speechless. He felt as if he'd been lightly struck on the back of the head. "No……, that's……." "If you're not even officially in a relationship with him, you don't really have the right to tell me what to do, do you?" Jeong Tae-ui fell silent. Ilay was right. In truth, I don’t know for sure if Xinlu wanted to be in a relationship with me. If I had to, I would say I was trying to win him over, and Xinlu was receptive to his efforts. I wasn't in a position to demand that Ilay stay away from Xinlu. However, even though he couldn't bring himself to readily say, "Then do as you please," Ilay turned away, as if he had finished saying all he wanted to say. "Ilay!" Jeong Tae-ui half-involuntarily called out to him as he was about to turn away. Ilay raised an eyebrow slightly, turning only his head to look back. Jeong Tae-ui glared at him for a moment with a heavy heart, then said gloomily, "If you use any forceful methods, …… I absolutely won't stand still." Ilay then chuckled pleasantly. "Sure thing," he said, leaving only that brief, ambiguous reply, before he resumed walking. Jeong Tae-ui stood stiffly in that spot until Ilay turned around the corner and was no longer visible. The moment he disappeared from sight, Jeong Tae-ui slumped against the wall and slowly slid to the ground. It suddenly felt as if decades of fatigue had descended upon him. Things had taken the worst turn possible. I couldn't have refused Ilay's offer anyway— there was no knowing what Ilay might do if I stubbornly refused till the end— and I had no grounds to refuse, yet this was definitely not the situation I had wanted. "I won't stand still…… Only someone with the power to back that up can say something like that and expect it to matter." Jeong Tae-ui let out a groan, muttering to himself with self-deprecating humor. Since coming here, not only had my life taken an unlucky turn, but I also felt like I was making every foolish mistake possible, all by myself.

10. Yoo Ji-han, who could barely control his rough breathing as if he had run at full speed, raised his head, and tried to ignore the drowsiness that was coming on him. He might be dead tired, but he had to make sure Chae Yoo-jeong was satisfied.   “Yoo-jeong, how was it……………”   But Yoo Ji-han’s words did not last until the end. Chae Yoo-jeong, who had taken off his used condom, was opening a new condom as if it were completely natural.   ‘No way?’   Are you thinking about doing it one more time? Are you crazy?  The moment Yoo Ji-han, who instantly got a straight face, turned back to run away, a strong arm wrapped around his waist.   “Hyung, let’s do it one more time.”   “No, I have to go to work later...……………”   “I’ll finish it quickly. please?”   “It’s difficult… Hu, ugh...…………….”   Before the rejection was even finished, Chae Yoo-jeong’s glans opened his hole and came in. The hand holding the sheet naturally gained strength. The cooled heat burned hot again and Yoo Ji-han let out a moan.   ‘Chae Yoo-jeong, you son of a bitch!’   Yoo Ji-han regretted once again as Chae Yoo-jeong was shaken by the loose reins. If I had known it would be this difficult, I would have made my decision more carefully.   04. Each other’s sincerity   I put instant coffee in a paper cup and poured hot water. The strong scent of coffee spread throughout the bathroom.   “Oh my, my back………………”   I put the paper cup down on the table and pounded my throbbing back with my fist. The pain did not decrease at all. When I get off work later, I’ll have to buy a pain relief patch right away and put it on.   It wasn’t just my back that was uncomfortable. Grinding my teeth against the dull pain coming from an embarrassing place, I muttered the curse I had already uttered several times to myself.   ‘Chae Yoo-jeong, you bastard.’   The sex with Chae Yoo-jeong started early in the night and continued until late at night. He couldn’t finish it quickly, and Chae Yoo-jeong threw me around dozens of times throughout the morning, turning me this way and that.   Could it be that I was deceived? Chae Yoo-jeong, you bastard, didn’t you act all innocent to do this?  As my anger filled me and I vented my anger at him, the cell phone that I had placed in my pocket vibrated at the right time. It was a message from Chae Yoo-jeong.   [Yoo-jeong: Hyungㅜㅡㅜ]   [Yoo-jeong: Are you okay?]   [Yoo-jeong: It’s not that good?]   [Yoo Ji-han: I will kill you]   [Yoo Ji-han: Just wait and see]   [Yoo-jeong: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]   [Yoo Ji-han: _ㅡ]   [Yoo-jeong: I’m sorry...]   [Yoo-jeong: When does ur work end today?]   [Yoo-jeong: I’ll take the car and go find you..]   [Yoo Ji-han: Buy some pain relief patches too]   Still, my last conscience remains. Fortunately, there was little work today, so it seemed like I would be able to leave work on time. After sending his reply to Chae Yoo-jeong, I patted my sore back again, when a bright voice suddenly interrupted.   “Oh my, Ji-han-ssi. Does your back hurt?”   He was a new employee who joined the company. I smiled awkwardly at the sudden question and took away my hand from my back.   “It’s a little crooked. It’s not that bad.”   I couldn’t say I was in pain because I had amazing sex with my lover yesterday, so I responded appropriately. Then the employee smiled lightly and took out a paper cup. It looks like he came for coffee like me.   “I’m glad it’s not serious. I also had a hard time for a week after accidentally spraining myself while exercising a while ago. If it’s severe, be sure to go to the hospital.”   “Haha, I should.”   I sighed deeply inwardly. If it hurts like this tomorrow, should I really go to the hospital?   As expected, work ended at 7 o’clock sharp today without overtime. The longer I sat, the more uncomfortable my lower back became, so I was especially glad to leave work early.   As I passed the lobby and came out of the building, I saw a familiar car parked there. I soon approached the car and opened the passenger door, and found Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been waiting for me intently, smiling brightly.   “Hyung, hello!”   “Yes.”   Just bending my upper body a little to get into the car caused a lot of pain. Ugh, I groaned like a grandfather and finally got into the car and fastened my seatbelt.   Since this morning, whenever Chae Yoo-jeong looked at me like a puppy that got into an accident, he glanced at me for a while driving and finally opened his mouth.   “………Are you okay, Hyung?”   “Do I look okay?”   “No… sorry……”   When I spoke coldly, Chae Yoo-jeong immediately became sullen. While waiting for the traffic signal, Chae Yoo-jeong reached into his backseat and handed me a large paper bag.   “Huh? Why did you buy so much?”   “There are many different types of pain relief patches. Paste to stick and paste to apply………I heard that the cheap paste only has a pain-relieving effect, so I bought an additional paste that relieves stiff muscles. And just in case, I bought painkillers as well.”   “Might as well sell these pastes.”   “I… I thought it would be hard to eat outside, so I packed some food... how is it? Let’s go home and eat together.”   “I didn’t say I want to have dinner with you?”   “Hyung…………!”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was shocked, looked very sad, as if he was about to burst into tears. When I saw that, I smiled involuntarily.   Ah, I should have tried to act angrier, but it really didn’t work out that way. In the end, I smiled coolly and said,   “I’m kidding. Good job. Let’s hurry, I’m hungry.”    “Yes yes!”   Chae Yoo-jeong, whose eyes were sparkling when I smiled, nodded his head vigorously and concentrated on driving. Meanwhile, I rummaged through the bags to see what food Chae Yoo-jeong had packed.   ‘It’s beef rib soup, right?’   It was a food that brought back memories. Does this mean that you remember the past and ask for forgiveness just once? Whatever it was, it’s rather cute.   By the time I arrived at my apartment, barely able to navigate the congested roads during rush hour, the sun was setting. The red sunset pushed down the sky and a bright blue night began to arrive.   When I got out of the parked car, I saw a streetlight with its yellow light starting to turn on right in front of the entrance to the building. It wasn’t even dark yet, but as I looked at the lights that turned on early, I remembered the first time I kissed Chae Yoo-jeong. Even when he came running crying after one of my phone calls.   “Yoo-jeong-ah.”   “Yes?”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was following me with a bag containing medicine and food for me, immediately answered my call. I stood under the streetlight and confessed while looking at Chae Yoo-jeong.   “Thanks. For not giving up on me and waiting for me.”   Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes widened as he looked at me at my sudden appreciation.   “Actually, I’ve wanted to tell you this whole time. Thanks to you, I became very happy.”   As I smiled and added it with no hints of joking, Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes twisted sadly. In an instant, thick teardrops fell from the corners of his reddened eyes.   “Hyung, it’s really too much………”   “Why are you crying again?”   “T-those words…… listen… How can I not cry? I was very surprised...Ugh…….”   He must have been really surprised, so his tears poured out without any way to stop them. I expected him to be surprised, but I didn’t expect him to cry this much. I was embarrassed and hugged him.   “I’m so scared I can’t even speak. Hik…”   Yoo Ji-han’s shoulders immediately became wet as he buried his face. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was crying with his back slightly shaking, stuttered and opened his mouth.   “M-me too...…”   “Yes?”   “Me too… Thank you. For forgiving me, for accepting me... I’m really happy to be able to meet you.”   As Chae Yoo-jeong confessed his sincerity in a wet voice, something hot surged deep within my heart.   Ah, I now understand why Chae Yoo-jeong is crying so sadly. The moment he hears the sincerity of the person he loves is such a sad and happy moment. He closed his eyes and continued to cry so I lifted Chae Yoo-jeong’s head.   His face reflected under the streetlight was very pretty. I remembered a story Chae Yoo-jeong once told me. When he met me, he said it felt like color had been added to a world full of black and white. I wanted to return those words as they were.   I couldn’t help but realize how boring and uninteresting my world was until I met the sparkling Chae Yoo-jeong.   There was no need for any talk. We looked at each other for a moment, then slowly kissed.   The wind blows. We didn’t know whether the small, white things flying with the wind were flower petals or snowflakes. But it didn’t matter now.   We will be together even in spring when the flower petals flutter and in winter when snowflakes fall. By understanding each other and walking step by step together.   My jewel, my light. I was truly happy to be able to be with Chae Yoo-jeong.   That guy is that guy Side Story 2 completed.     HM: I need a revenge for MC. So that he can get back at MC. Kehkehkeh evil laughs With that TGITG is finally over. Just kidding, there's side stories 3. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Meimei, Ghostx We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

Even if it was said to be off-limits, it wasn't like you changed the password. Jeong Tae-ui was lying on his uncle's bed, jingling the key card on his finger. Thinking about it, I did something foolish. Although my uncle had told me not to come, it wasn't a forceful command. If I had barged in and insisted on staying here, my uncle would have eventually let me have my way--of course, if he had truly wished for me not to come, he would have probably concocted something to prevent it--. Currently, amidst the menacing figures from Europe that had permeated the branch, this was the safest place in this building. The instructor's personal room, it’s off-limits area. Then, instead of pointlessly running around and only going to shadowy places, I should have just come straight here after finishing my regular schedule and stayed put. "I was too rigid……. If Uncle doesn’t let me in, I should have just snuck in and hidden under the bed in this room." Jeong Tae-ui shook his head and muttered to himself. For a moment, I thought about doing that from now on, but it was already too late. I had already been marked by those who were going to come after me, and I had fallen as low as I could into unlucky circumstances. There was nothing more to be marked for, and nowhere further to fall. "Aish," he clicked his tongue, tossed the key once and caught it, when the door opened and his uncle entered. His uncle, who had been entering while unbuttoning his uniform one by one, looked surprised, saying "Oh?" when he saw Jeong Tae-ui lying on the bed. "What are you doing in here right now? I told you not to come until the joint training is over." "I finished reading the books, so I came to return them." Jeong Tae-ui wiggled the book he held in one hand. His uncle took off his uniform jacket and hung it on the back of the chair, then stared intently at Jeong Tae-ui. This quick-witted uncle seemed to be trying to figure out why this nephew, who wouldn't have come just for that, had come to visit. "You should’ve taken your time reading it. Well, anyway, since you're already here, just take another book with you that you would like to borrow. But don't bring it back until the joint training period is over even if you finish reading it. --Want some green tea?" His uncle took off even his shirt and started boiling water in a pot. When Jeong Tae-ui shook his head for the offer of tea, he took out a teacup just for himself. After cracking his neck left and right since his body was stiff, he let out a light sigh. Jeong Tae-ui put the borrowed book back in its original place and scanned the bookshelf with his eyes. Since it had only been a few days since he last came, not much was expected to have changed, but a few books I hadn't seen before had been added to the shelf. Gently running his fingertips along the top of the bookshelf, Jeong Tae-ui stopped his finger over a book with a familiar title. "This……, they said it was sent by ship, so it seems it's already here. 'Mythology'." "Ah, it arrived yesterday. It's a fresh new book. I haven't read it yet either, but you can read it first, if you want to. Anyway, I don't think I'll have time to read for a while, and I have other books to read." "Hmm……. Then I'll take this. I'll bring it back when I come again after the joint training." His uncle gestured with his hand as if to say okay. He drank the greenish tea brewed in the teacup and let out a long breath. He never showed signs of exhaustion, but being no iron man, it was impossible for my uncle not to be tired these days. However, when his eyes met Jeong Tae-ui's, who was staring at him, his uncle tilted his head slightly with his usual expression. "You seem very tired these days. You don't even have time to read. Besides, I think this was a book you really wanted to read, Uncle." Jeong Tae-ui said, lightly tapping the spine of the new book he had taken out with his palm. His uncle chuckled, "Hmm," and shrugged his shoulders. "That's right. The original idea was that if I sent it by ship, it would arrive around next weekend, which means right after the end of the joint training period, so I thought I could read it right away at my leisure." "But it came much earlier than I expected," his uncle muttered. Jeong Tae-ui understood, thinking, "Ah, so that's why," and nodded. "Indeed. You deliberately asked them to send it by ship so you would receive the book after the joint training was completely over? I wondered why you specifically sent it by post when you could have just received it directly from Ilay anyway, since he was going to come here." His uncle's hand, which was bringing the teacup to his mouth, paused for a moment. His uncle stopped the teacup near his lips, looked at Jeong Tae-ui for a moment, and then smiled slowly. It was a look that said he now understood why he had come. He took a sip of tea and placed the teacup back down. "Did that guy tell you himself? Well, well……. It was shocking enough that he told his name to someone he would see for the first time. He must really like you." I don't think that's quite right……. Jeong Tae-ui muttered inwardly. If he liked me, would I have spent all this time trembling with anxiety and only stepping in the shadows? He mumbled to himself, but decided not to say anything explicitly, as claiming "He didn’t like me" also felt a bit silly to say. Besides, even if he liked him, it wouldn’t change anything. That man's idea of liking someone was different from how ordinary people felt about someone they liked. To that man, liking someone, it meant he regarded them as an interesting object. It was far from the usual meaning of regarding someone with affection or cherishing them dearly. He was that kind of person. And it wasn't as if my uncle didn't know that. Thinking about it made my mouth taste bitter. Ultimately, no matter who he was, whether a weapons dealer living somewhere in Germany or a lunatic brawler affiliated with the European branch, nothing changed. Jeong Tae-ui sat on the bed, smacked his lips, and asked with a sour expression. "I have absolutely no intention of prying into someone else’s life, Uncle. But I'm someone who has to look after my own life for the next half year, so I get anxious if even the smallest thing seems strange." "Understandable. So?" "What kind of relationship do you have with that crazy guy?" Jeong Tae-ui's question was concise. Who he was referring to was also perfectly clear. However, his uncle remained silent for a moment, just looking at Jeong Tae-ui with a subtle smile. His face was lost in thought. "I guess…… you could say we're book friends." When his uncle slowly opened his mouth, Jeong Tae-ui frowned slightly. Then, he looked at his uncle silently before shrugging his shoulders. If my uncle didn't want to talk about it, there was no need to force it out. "Okay. Well, I'll just take good care of my own life, then." "I know his brother. To be precise." His uncle continued. Jeong Tae-ui closed his mouth again. His uncle spoke calmly, while his face showed no hint of falsehood. His uncle's face, which smiled slightly when their eyes met, indicated that his words were the complete truth. It’s not the whole truth though. "…….Okay. I don't know why a guy like that is stuck in the UNHRDO branch, but you can't predict what happens in people's lives." Or perhaps it's more accurate to say I didn't understand why the family background of the guy in the UNHRDO branch was like that. Jeong Tae-ui shrugged his shoulders. In fact, even if my uncle had given me a heads-up earlier, nothing would likely have changed. Perhaps only a vague prejudice would have increased. Or I might have made a ridiculous mistake and only seen the man named Riegrow on the screen as the Ilay I knew. Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head. "Okay. I'll get going now. Well…… I probably won't have much time to read either, so by the time I finish this, the joint training will have been long over." "Hmm……. Alright. Since I haven't read that yet, don't give it back too late." "You said I could take my time." "I didn't say that about that book. I just said you could look at it first if you wanted to." "What's that supposed to mean? You said you had plenty of other books to read," Jeong Tae-ui grumbled as he headed towards the door. Sighing inwardly, "Ugh, tomorrow's a precious weekend but I can't rest, it'll be training again. They called it extreme training, I wonder what it'll be like this time," Jeong Tae-ui was opening the door to leave when his uncle suddenly called out from behind him. "Tae-ui- ya ." "Yes?" Jeong Tae-ui turned back, his hand on the doorknob. His uncle was looking at Jeong Tae-ui with a subtle expression. It wasn't the face of an instructor, but purely the face of my 'uncle'. "It doesn't matter what kind of person that guy is or what he does. If you were thinking of Ilay and Riegrow as separate people, the one you misunderstood was Ilay, not Riegrow." Jeong Tae-ui looked at his uncle without speaking. What he was trying to say was crystal clear. He was saying that the image of Riegrow, whom I had faced directly, was closer to the truth than the Ilay I had chatted with occasionally over the phone. After a moment's pause, Jeong Tae-ui let out a small laugh and shook his head. "You’re wrong though, Uncle. I couldn't really know anything about Ilay either."  Jeong Tae-ui said, adding, "From the moment he only showed his hands, he was already someone you couldn't figure out." Jeong Tae-ui then held out both his hands, showing them. At this, his uncle chuckled softly. "Alright, then you can go. Try not to be seen by people." "Hmm--- Wouldn't it be impossible not to be seen? With surveillance cameras installed everywhere here." "…….Right. There’s that. You'll have to copy the disciplinary regulations ten more times later." Jeong Tae-ui's face instantly contorted into a frown. My uncle said, looking regretful, "That's why you got caught on camera, be careful from now on," but it was already too late. *** ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Tâmago We made a discord server! please join us!

9.   Chae Yoo-jeong, unable to swallow due to having Yoo Ji-han’s penis pushed all the way down his throat, wiped away the saliva with the back of his hand and took off the top he was wearing. Then he reached out to his nightstand and grabbed the gel.   When Yoo Ji-han saw Chae Yoo-jeong holding the gel, a little bit of tension appeared on Yoo Ji-han’s face. It was then.   “Hyung, here.”   “……?”   Chae Yoo-jeong held out the gel he was holding to Yoo Ji-han. Yoo Ji-han, who thought he was going to use the gel on him, asked in a confused voice.   “Why are you giving this to me?”   “What?”   After hearing the question, Chae Yoo-jeong looked as confused as Yoo Ji-han.   “Isn’t Hyung… the one who’s gonna be fucking me?”   “……You’re going to get fucked?”   “Yes? It is natural because they say the burden is greater on the person who gets to bottom. I’m sure you’re more skilled than me.”   There was no wavering in the immediate answer. Yoo Ji-han, who read the sincerity in Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes that were staring at him, sighed softly and pushed the gel toward Chae Yoo-jeong.   “No, you do it.”   “Hyung?”   “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to put that kind of burden on you either.”   It seems that Chae Yoo-jeong was planning on being fucked. How can our thoughts be so similar?   ‘You could be a little greedy in this part.’   Yoo Ji-han, who clicked his tongue inwardly, kissed Chae Yoo-jeong’s cheek and continued speaking.   “Yoo-jeong-ah, this is your first time.”   “Yes.”   “So you have to fuck me. The first person you fuck will definitely be me.”   Yoo Ji-han’s fingertips passed between Chae Yoo-jeong’s legs. His hand briefly passed over the fabric, giving him goosebumps. Yoo Ji-han smiled as he watched Chae Yoo-jeong swallowing his dry saliva and whispered in his ear.   “I’ll be satisfied with what I just stuffed in your mouth. So, feel free to do whatever you want, Chae Yoo-jeong.”   “…….”   “I bet you fucked me even in your dreams.”   The corners of Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes turned bright red at the sight of Yoo Ji-han clearly seeing and caring for him. And soon he was filled with moisture.   Still, this time Chae Yoo-jeong held it in without crying and nodded his head with a determined expression. His burning eyes exuded determination to never let Yoo Ji-han get hurt.   After making his decision, Chae Yoo-jeong uncorked the gel he was holding and squeezed the gel into his palm. A clear, viscous, sticky liquid flowed down onto his palm.   “I’ll do it.”   Chae Yoo-jeong muttered in a slightly stiff voice from nervousness and first wrapped Yoo Ji-han’s penis with his hand. His penis, which had lost its strength after cumming once, was stimulated and began to stand erect again.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been carefully stroking his genitals with his gel-soaked sticky hands, slowly lowered his position. It was evident from his touch that he was taking care not to startle Yoo Ji-han.   The long finger passed through his perineum and entered between his buttocks and soon dug into the narrow hole.   “Ugh…………”   A finger wet with gel entered, pressing on his inner wall. Yoo Ji-han frowned at that uncomfortable feeling and let out a suppressed groan.   “Does it hurt?”   “No, it’s a little hot……………….”   After moving one finger back and forth a few times, Chae Yoo-jeong carefully inserted a second finger. Yoo Ji-han bit his lip as the unpleasant sensation became more severe than at first.   “Yoo-jeong-ah, this………”   “Hyung, it would be better to change your posture.”   “What? Gasp!”   Suddenly both legs were lifted up. Chae Yoo-jeong held onto the back of Yoo Ji-han’s knees and raised his upper body, placing both of his legs on his shoulders.   In the blink of an eye, Yoo Ji-han’s legs were lifted up, and his abdomen was folded, exposing his buttocks. Yoo Ji-han’s face suddenly turned red due to his aggressive posture.   “Wait a minute, Chae Yoo-jeong! I don’t think this……………”   “Sorry. But I’m scared that Hyung will get hurt.”   “Ugh!”   Before Yoo Ji-han could properly protest, two of his fingers stuck into the hole. The fingers that moved back and forth a couple of times spread wide to the side like scissors.   “Ha, ugh………………”   It was definitely less uncomfortable than when I was lying in the upright position, but it’s very embarrassing.   Yoo Ji-han, who could not bear to look at Chae Yoo-jeong’s face as he pushed his face close to his buttocks and widened the hole, covered his eyes with his arm.   Some gel was squeezed into Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand, which had been widening for a long time, once more, making a squishing sound. Another soaked finger came in.   Yoo Ji-han’s butt was covered in sticky gel. Gel was dripping down his waist, which had risen upwards. Squish! When three fingers were pushed down hard, clear liquid splashed around.   “Ugh, Chae Yoo-jeong… Yoo-jeong-ah.”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was completely absorbed in widening the hole, moved his hand persistently. He twirled it with his finger all the way in, and he also shook it hard and fast as if he was fucking his penis.   Chae Yoo-jeong did not rest until the hole was so hot that it was flushed. In the end, Yoo Ji-han, unable to hold on, took a deep breath and roughly grabbed Chae Yoo-jeong by the hair.   “Stop it……Put it in!”   “I can’t do that. What if it hurts...………….”   “If it hurts, I’ll say it hurts, so now put it in!”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who barely came to his senses after seeing Yoo Ji-han wheezing with his whole face red, slowly pulled out the fingers that were filling the hole.   With a gurgle, the gel that had entered the hole through his finger flowed out. His waist suddenly trembled at that unfamiliar sensation.   Chae Yoo-jeong fumbled on his nightstand, picked up a condom, and tore open the wrapper. Yoo Ji-han, who was lying helpless due to exhaustion just from widening the hole, opened his eyes wide when he saw Chae Yoo-jeong taking off his pants and his penis sticking out.   ‘Holy shit.’   At first, after experiencing a series of shocking events, he thought he had lost his mind and was hallucinating.   Chae Yoo-jeong’s penis, which was standing up straight toward the sky, was stretched straight without any bending and had the same color as when Chae Yoo-jeong blushed. Plus, it was very smooth with no hair around it!   Yoo Ji-han, who came face to face with the white paper he had only heard about, closed his eyes tightly. To be honest, the appearance itself was really pretty. Throughout his life, he didn’t know that the genitals of a man would be evaluated as pretty, but Chae Yoo-jeong was really pretty there, too.   But the problem was size. It was too big. It was even thick. The veins sprouting from the roots added to the ferocity. Yoo Ji-han was overcome with belated regret at the terrible reality.   I should have just fucked him. How do I swallow that inside? No matter how much I thought about it, it’s impossible. If I had known this would happen, I would have checked the size written on the condom box earlier.   “………Yoo-jeong-ah.”   “Yes?”   Meanwhile, Chae Yoo-jeong, whimpering and putting a condom on his genitals, looked up at Yoo Ji-han’s call.   Yoo Ji-han, facing Chae Yoo-jeong’s flushed face with excitement, could not bear to spit out the words that came up to his chin.   “…Please take your time.”   “Don’t worry.”   Just like when Chae Yoo-jeong was widening the hole, Yoo Ji-han’s legs were placed on his shoulders and the pose was taken. The huge glans covered with a condom reached the end of the hole.   “Gasp, u-ugh!”   The glans slowly entered inside. Feeling the pressure and pain several times greater than expected, Yoo Ji-han tilted his head back and opened his mouth.   Squish. The sound of the gel rubbing against the penis was vivid. Chae Yoo-jeong held Yoo Ji-han’s struggling hand and pushed his waist a little more. Suddenly, the hole widened to its limit and swallowed his entire glans.   “H-haa...……………”   Like Yoo Ji-han, who was struggling with pressure and pain, Chae Yoo-jeong was struggling in a different way.   The hot, squishy insides surrounding the glans felt crazy good. I could barely suppress the urge to bury it in till the end right away. It felt like if I let go of reason even a little, my body would move on its own.   “Ah, Hyung………………”   “Gaasp, ugh, Chae Yoo-jeong………………”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was moving forward little by little, eventually let out a moan and stopped his waist when his inner walls became too tight. Chae Yoo-jeong took a deep breath as he felt the hot tightening of his genitals and held Yoo Ji-han’s genitals, which had become colder than before, in his hands.   “Hyung, relax a little bit.”   “Ah, wait… ugh!”   As Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand swept up his pillar and began to squeeze the tip of his glans with his thumb, Yoo Ji-han’s waist jumped up.   The stiff inner walls loosened from the pleasure radiating from his genitals. Chae Yoo-jeong, who did not miss that brief opportunity, thrust his waist fiercely.   “Ugh, ah……………!”   “Hyung, Ji-han Hyung.”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who finally succeeded in inserting more than half of his penis, called Yoo Ji-han several times in a very excited voice.   Chae Yoo-jeong lowered his upper body and buried his lips on the nape of Yoo Ji-han’s neck. My heart trembled at the kissing sound. Chae Yoo-jeong swept Yoo Ji-han’s sweat-soaked bangs and kissed him deeply.   “Uh-ugh, ha………………”   “Ah…….”   Chae Yoo-jeong moved his waist back as their tongues mixed together. Squish, the gel that entered deep into the inner wall along the genitals made an embarrassing sound.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who pulled out his penis so that it was covering his glans, lowered his head deeply and took the erect nipple into his mouth and sucked it, then took out his tongue and licked it for a long time. Yoo Ji-han let out a low moan at the unfamiliar sensation spreading from his chest.   As the slightly rough and hot tongue gently swept the areola, the hole containing the glans twitched and tightened. I can feel it in my heart too. Chae Yoo-jeong, who sensitively caught Yoo Ji-han’s reaction, slammed his cock deep into him.   “Huuk……………!”   Yoo Ji-han let out a short scream as the penis struck a deep spot in one go. It felt like he was ging to hurl.   “Hyung, ugh, does it hurt? Are you okay?”   “Uh, no, no………It doesn’t hurt, ugh, ah!”   Yoo Ji-han shook his head with difficulty as he was pierced by the throbbing genitals.   A tickling pleasure bloomed somewhere in his stomach. Every time the thick penis with prominent veins pressed down on something and passed by, his toes automatically curled.   His pain and suffering disappeared before he knew it. What remained was a feeling of maddening pleasure that I had felt for the first time in my life.   “Huh, ah, ugh………ugh! Good, ah… Huuk...…………….”   “Ha, Hyung… Hyung…………….”   Chae Yoo-jeong held Yoo Ji-han’s waist tightly with both his hands and started thrusting with his waist. His stomach was bubbling with heat. Every time Chae Yoo-jeong’s penis moved back and forth, Yoo Ji-han’s belly bulged.   Suddenly, water droplets fell from above and ran down Yoo Ji-han’s cheek. Finally, Chae Yoo-jeong burst into tears. Yoo Ji-han noticed the tears coming down his face and barely opened his eyes.   The only thing he could see in his wildly shaking vision was Chae Yoo-jeong’s crying face. His hair slightly wet with sweat, his cheeks with tears streaming down his cheeks, and his eyes shining like jewels.   It felt so good that it made his heart swell, so Yoo Ji-han kissed Chae Yoo-jeong again.   Ugh, their moans were mixed together, swallowed by their tongues.   Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand grabbed Yoo Ji-han’s genitals and kept pushing down his trembling waist in an attempt to invade more, and continued to thrust into Yoo Ji-han’s inner walls.   Chae Yoo-jeong’s thumb was rubbing his glans obsessively. Yoo Ji-han’s mind was tangled with the pleasure he felt from his genitals and his inner walls. Without realizing it, Chae Yoo-jeong followed Yoo Ji-han’s posture of raising his buttocks, lifting his waist and pulling out his genitals just barely enough for it to come out, then slamming the penis deep inside.   “Huh, ah……………!”   As his penis passed through the prostate, Yoo Ji-han could not hold on and his semen poured out.   As his inner walls tightened abruptly at the same time as he ejaculated, Chae Yoo-jeong bit his lip and cried out while he was buried in Yoo Ji-han’s deepest part.   “Haa, ha………”   Yoo Ji-han was breathing heavily as he was covered in sweat and dirty with his own cum. he didn’t have the strength to lift a single finger. Was sex this tiring?   Without even thinking about wiping his body, Chae Yoo-jeong pulled out his genitals from inside Yoo Ji-han, who was lying on his back, and immediately attached his body to him.   “Hyung, are you okay?”   “Do I look okay………………”   He had just had his first sex, so I wanted to respond as kindly as possible, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought. Even though Yoo Ji-han responded harshly due to his exhaustion, Chae Yoo-jeong just smiled happily and planted kisses on his cheek, eyes, and lips.   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Meimei, Ghostx We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

Clash. Clank. Bang, bang. Clank. Hey! Drive straight! Squeak. Clank. Clank. Boom. “Excuse me, Gyu-ha- ssi . It's not that I have some other intention, I'm really, really, really just asking just in case... Driving... Is this your first time driving in a long time?” Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled brighter than the morning sunlight shining through the car window. I never had a good experience when he smiled innocently. A chill ran down his spine. “I’m driving for the first time after getting a driver’s license.” “And when did you get your license……” “At 19 years old.” “I’m going to get off.” In Yoo-shin almost screamed and forgot to unbuckle his seatbelt and tried to open the car door, but it was already locked. A human who couldn't even start the engine properly was quick to lock the car. “We were each born on different days, but didn’t we decide to die together on the same day at the same time?” "I didn't! How on earth did you get to my house in a new car? “When I went to Yoo-shin- ssi ’s house, I carried it myself.” “Then you can just carry it and fly now!” "I want you to be the one I have my 'first driving experience' with, Yoo-shin- ssi . I'm really embarrassed saying this, but I'll do my best." “What about writing my final will!” “You like it? I like you too, Master.” "Save me! 112! 119!" With In Yoo-shin's desperate screams as background music, the top-of-the-line sports car, now adorned with numerous fresh scratches, diligently wobbled and swayed as it sped away. It was driving in reverse down a one-way alleyway, in a zigzag pattern. *** Bump, thud. Creak. The car, which was tattered with a dangling license plate, a broken headlight,  long and short scratches running down the side, In Yoo-shin, also tattered, got out. “Huhhhhhhh……” His body, which was staggering because his legs had lost their strength, was held in Hyeon Gyu-ha's arms. He was more mentally unstable than when he first rode his bike. He was protected by Hyeon Gyu-ha’s ability even in the car, so he wasn’t hurt anywhere, but his heart kept pounding and he felt like it was going to burst out of his mouth. 8- se  had already passed out and he couldn’t even feel his presence. “Why do you learn everything else so easily…… but driving……” “I’m excited because you’re riding next to me, Master.” In Yoo-shin also seemed incredibly excited in another sense. Completely drained of energy, In Yoo-shin lost the will to walk and slumped limply, and Hyeon Gyu-ha cheerfully tucked him under his arm and walked to the office. Usually, he would dangle jauntily from his side, but today's description is 'limp and lifeless’. The civil servants had become accustomed to seeing the beauty more like a celebrity than any other celebrity walking around the office, but today was an exception. Just like the day he first visited the office, exclamations like “Huh!”, “Wow.”, “Crazy.”, “Awesome.” could be heard everywhere. No one was surprised that In Yoo-shin was by his side. “Yoo-shin is here……………… Whoa.” Even Lee Hye-yeon, who had known Hyeon Gyu-ha the longest at the office, was wide-eyed. “Is today Yoo-shin’s birthday? The anniversary of your relationship? Or the anniversary of Yoo-shin’s awakening? The day they first met?" The words that came out one after another with questions were all related to In Yoo-shin, so it seemed that she was someone who knew Hyeon Gyu-ha well. Hyeon Gyu-ha agreed with her. “It’s similar because it’s for Yoo-shin- ssi .” “I thought he had an allergy or something because he never wore a suit even when invited to international events.” “Suits are uncomfortable and there are too many things to prepare. Even if it’s basic clothes, you have to have a pair of garters for the top and bottom, check the fit, tie pins on the collar bar, cufflinks, handkerchief or boutonniere, wristwatch, and hair. There are many ways to tie a tie. I was going to put on makeup, but I didn’t because my skin was smooth and shiny without any blemishes.” Not only Lee Hye-yeon, but all the office workers who were in an uproar after seeing Hyeon Gyu-ha in a suit had the same thought in their heads. Who would wear a suit to work and pack all that stuff? The male employees who came dressed casually in business suits were embarrassed and covered their bodies. “Listening to you, I think I should buy my husband a new tie pin…… But Yoo-shin- ssi , why do you look like that?” In Yoo-shin, who was freed from Hyeon Gyu-ha's side, collapsed on the desk, sobbing. He also took the unconscious 8- se  out of the pouch and covered him with a handkerchief. “I feel motion sickness…….” Song Chan-young, who had just closed his gaping mouth after seeing Hyeon Gyu-ha in a suit, quickly healed him. Thanks to that, In Yoo-shin, who had regained his energy, bowed his head and greeted him. “Haven’t you gotten off work yet, Nunim¹?” “Uh-Uh. I’m going to meet Seong-gil outside later, so I’m going to kill some time in the office and then go.” The stamina of a top-ranked hunter was amazing, as he had the energy to make another appointment even after working all night. If I had that kind of stamina, I wouldn’t have been so shaken even if I had been in Hyeon Gyu-ha’s car. ‘The answer is exercise after all…… Gasp!  No.’ In Yoo-shin quickly erased the bad words that came to his mind. “Gyu-ha- ya . Can I take just one picture? I’m going to show Seong-gil because he won’t believe me if I told him.” “Do whatever you want.” “Oh, Hunter. I’ll take one too…….” “Me too…….” As if his words had been a trigger, men and women alike began to pick up their phones here and there in the office. That’s how a makeshift photo zone was formed. In Yoo-shin, whose mind was still wandering on the road, asked Song Chan-young, who was the best at taking selfies among the hunters, to send him a photo of Hyeon Gyu-ha. He was lying down on the desk again when he caught a glimpse of Lee Hye-yeon's cell phone. “Are those your daughters on the phone screen?” “The older one is in middle school.” “Whoa, already?” “Why don't you come hang out later?  Now that they're a bit older, they usually holl up in their rooms and don't come out when Dad and Mom have guests, but I think they'd be happy to see you since you're not that much older than them.” “Hey, I’m an old man to your girls, too.” However, he was so happy that he was invited that his face turned bright red. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who overheard her conversation at the photo zone, intervened. “Yoo-shin- ssi  invited me, but why are you ignoring me?” “Huh? You didn’t come even though I told you to.” “……?” “The relationship between Master and me is like a dress shirt and a garter belt.” What are you talking about? No one understood. The others stared blankly at In Yoo-shin, who was second in command, so Hyeon Gyu-ha explained. “It’s a men’s garter. It’s a little tight, but it’s the one I’m wearing today. Yoo-shin- ssi , I’ll show you in the bathroom. Do you want to take a look?” “I think it means a relationship like a needle and thread.” When In Yoo-shin, who had finally understood, explained the meaning to Lee Hye-yeon, she nodded heavily. “To understand such a terrible explanation so perfectly, you two are truly a match made in heaven!  Alright, come over to play while holding hands! Because my daughters' faces light up when you come, and they really like you.” “Definitely! ah, that's right.  Since you mentioned 'face’, it reminded me of what I was going to say earlier – they say the first daughter who resembles her father has good fortune, right? Well, your eldest daughter is the spitting image of you, you know.” “When she was little, she would burst into tears if anyone said she looked like her dad.” Song Chan-young snickered as he recalled Kwon Seong-gil, who had an eccentric appearance to put it nicely, and a thief-like appearance to put it badly. “Perhaps it was because Master Kwon has such strong features.” But In Yoo-shin became serious. “No, where would you ever find a distinguished, dignified, classical handsome man like you, Hyung- nim ?” "………………Even when I was busy in the middle of a relationship, I couldn't even compliment Seong-gil's face to my friends." Hyeon Gyu-ha's eyebrows rose sharply, but fortunately, the sound of the door opening interrupted the conversation. “Hello…………….” Kim Ji-yeon, who opened the door with a lively greeting, saw Hyeon Gyu-ha at the photo zone, and stood still. Her blank, relaxed face soon turned pale, then turned red again, then turned white again, and then her knees buckled. “Oh my gosh. Your Majesty!” Hyeon Gyu-ha didn't care whether other people fell or not, but at In Yoo-shin's word, he immediately used psychokinesis to support her. Kim Ji-yeon, who sat down weakly on the chair, covered her face with trembling hands. “I would be happy to die right now…….” “Next time, Gyu-ha might come wearing a suit again, so you can’t die already. Please take a picture quickly.” Kim Ji-yeon, who regained her mentality to take pictures thanks to Lee Hye-yeon's kind words, also took out her phone. Even if I die, I have to take pictures and videos before I die. I had bought the latest high-resolution phone on a 36-month installment plan just for this moment. The rumours about Hyeon Gyu-ha’s suit spread like wildfire and reached the ears of the digital communication team, which were desperately trying to promote the company. Ohana was immediately dispatched. "Hunter- nim ! Hunter Hyeon- nim ………………!" “Why, another vlog? Is it the department that always films vlogs?” Hyeon Gyu-ha responded dryly, clearly showing that he was annoyed, but Ohana did not give in. “According to our team leader, vlogs are good, but Hunter-nim’s cool appearance today will soon spread all over the internet, and since we’re planning to release a dungeon training video next Monday, we need to grab some attention before then…….” "So what's the conclusion?" “Can we do a live broadcast?” “Dismissed.” “Hmph.” While decisively cutting things off, she looked at In Yoo-shin, who could control Hyeon Gyu-ha. The employees who were listening to the conversation also glanced at the control tower². “……?” In Yoo-shin, who was writing a document, suddenly felt a gaze on him and raised his head in puzzlement. *** E/N ¹Nunim (누님): The honorific form of "nuna," adding a layer of respect when addressing an older sister.

“Diso-Team mentioned they want to do a live stream. Are you interested in watching?”(Digital Source Team) “Even if you don’t broadcast, I see Gyu-ha-ssi all the time……” Ohana quickly interjected. “But this is a great opportunity to permanently preserve videos and photos of Hunter-nim in a suit!…… Of course, Yoo-shin sees Hunter-nim in a suit all the time, but still.” Like that was definitely the case. In Yoo-shin looked displeased, and Hyeon Gyu-ha shrugged his shoulders. “What's the broadcast about? You're a public institution, after all, you're not just going to chat with me the whole time, are you?” “The team leader told me to get permission from Hunter-nim first…… If you have a concept in mind, I’ll make sure to tell you. I think the team leader will probably say okay.” “I don't have any. I can't exactly tell stories about my relationship with Master-nim, can I?” “Ah, that would be really explosive.” However, it was impossible. Ohana looked around with an expression as if she was wondering if anyone had any opinions. However, no one seemed to have anything in mind at the sudden mention. Then a hand carefully rose. It was In Yoo-shin. "You said the dungeon training video would be released on Monday, right? Since today is Thursday, how about we promote it a bit in relation to the training?" "Ooh! That's a good idea! I'll go and report to the team leader right away! And before that, Hunter-nim, can I take a picture? I'm going to upload a trailer before the live broadcast." “You’re not asking me to pose, are you?” "No, no. Just stay where you are. Just take off your gloves!" Ohana took a picture of Hyeon Gyu-ha's legs, not his face, while he was sitting on the desk. Ten minutes later. —The first of the talent department! The live broadcast will start at 10:30~^^ Please show lots of interest (shy smiling emoji) ……The content was revealed as an Insta story along with a photo of his ankles and shoes showing his hip bones slightly under the hem of his suit pants, and a photo of his hands neatly placed on his knees. After Hyeon Gyu-ha became a public servant hunter, the only photo posted on Department of Supernatural Affairs and Public Safety's SNS was a selfie. However, Hyeon Gyu-ha's fans, who are always hungry for bait, followed Department of Supernatural Affairs and Public Safety's account with the mindset of subscribing to his agency. - Hey, did you see what was posted on Department of Supernatural Affairs and Public Safety's Instagram? Is there something I can look forward to from my kid? Looking at those long, pretty fingers, that's definitely Gyu-ha's hand. Anyway, that. ㄴDon't expect too much. Gyuha has never worn anything other than a jacket..... ㄴㄴNo, why are you like that?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ His boyfriend might have told him to wear it ㄴㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just saying, but Gyu and that jacket are like one. It looks good on him, but still fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even sponsored clothes for promotion, he wouldn't wear them that often.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴㄴㄴThat jacket is basically Hyeon Gyu-ha's true form ㄴㄴㄴYou've gotten too comfortable now that Gyu's photos are being released a bit more these days. Back in my day, just seeing a tiny bit of black made my heart stop ㅠㅠㅠㅠ - Then if it's not Hyeon Gyu, who do you think it is? Since it's a picture of a man, is it Choi Jin-hyeok? I don't know much about public servant hunters, so the only one I can think of right now is Choi Jin-hyeok. Who else is there?? Whoever it is, why a live broadcast on a weekday morning... Office workers are crying... ㄴI wish it were Hye-yeon unnie haha I'm burning wishful thinking imagining she might be wearing a suit. ㄴOkay, maybe the subject is whatever, but the composition? That's fr got the 'eye' for what's good. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Watching Gyuha Big Vloog, I've felt this since a while ago, it seems like there's an employee in the Supernatural department who has quite a bit of fangirl experience.ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ Hyeon Gyu-ha's fans waited for 10:30 without much expectation, but with a hopeful heart. The live broadcast started at 10:45, a little later than scheduled. “Hello, this is Lee Hye-yeon.” Lee Hye-yeon, who was killing time in the office and ended up starting a live broadcast, greeted us with a tone that clearly showed her nervousness. “I’ve done interviews before, but this is my first time doing a live broadcast, so I feel very awkward. Please forgive me if I make a mistake. When I get home, my daughter will probably scold me for taking weird pictures.” The hastily arranged live broadcast was filmed in an empty conference room. Team leader Noh, who was sitting next to the camera, showed a fighting gesture, saying, "You're doing well." In Yoo-shin also used a mobile phone's electronic signboard app to write, "Noona is the best," and shook it. Hyeon Gyu-ha also used his psychokinesis to shake the electronic signboard app at his request. Lee Hye-yeon, who was very nervous about that remark, also ended up laughing. “There must have been someone who was waiting for you to appear on the live today, so you must have been very disappointed to see an old lady appear.” -ㅠㅠ No ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I really missed you, unnieㅠㅠㅠ - Unnie, you don't need a wife? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Lee Hye-yeon, who was not familiar with it, could not immediately see the viewers' reactions. She only moved her gaze after hearing Team Leader Noh's explanation. “Can I see the comments here? Aha, so this is where you ask questions and such.” - Master Kwon, are you good at fighting??? “My husband? He's strong from handling minerals, but he's not good at fighting. But why are you curious about this?” In contrast to Hyeon Gyu-ha, whose face and abilities overwhelm his personality, Lee Hye-yeon has both abilities and personality. She also has a lot of popularity because she has worked as a public service hunter for a long time. The atmosphere was good even though it wasn't just her fans who gathered. Lee Hye-yeon, who had somewhat relaxed while answering questions, started promoting the goal of today's broadcast. “Last weekend, there was a dungeon training session for those who passed the Hunter License exam. Some of you may have read the article, right?” “It was published as a brief article without any details.” “Ah, really?” Because the script was hastily put together, the words were not properly conveyed. In order to maximize the publicity effect, the Supernatural Department had kept the fact that Hyeon Gyu-ha had participated in the dungeon training a secret. Now was the time to blow it up and gather attention. "The team leader said that he went out alone. Up until now, the dungeon training scenes were only revealed as part of documentaries, but this is the first time that the entire video has been edited into a vlog. Some say that it is a picnic rather than training, but that means our public hunters are working hard to ensure that the newly awakened ones who have just obtained their licenses do not fall into danger." Lee Hye-yeon smiled awkwardly. "I'm talking like I'm so great, but the truth is, I wasn't there during the last training session. Our hunter Choi Jin-hyeok was the leader, but today is his off-duty. The other hunters ran away because they couldn't do the broadcast, so I ended up taking the lead." - Whoa then what’s that vlog?? - Ah... Ah... Aah... That means..... A few quick-witted people left comments. The comments started to pile up faster and faster. “It was an unprecedented training session where two S-class hunters participated as guides, one of whom was Guild Leader of Narsha, Gong Tae-seong.” Lee Hye-yeon only paused for a moment to take a sip of water because she was thirsty, but it created a dramatic effect. - Unnie, I'm out of breath ㅠㅠㅠ Hurry up, hurry up ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ -Perhaps another S-class hunter whose initial starts with H and whose name is the same backward and forwards? -Ah, my goshㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ "I'll introduce you right away since I'm watching the filming from the side. This is our Department of Supernatural Affairs and Public Safety's Hunter, Hyeon Gyu-ha." Lee Hye-yeon, who made an introductory gesture, stood up from her seat, and the camera moved smoothly to the side in the hands of Ohana, who possesses the skill to eliminate hand tremors. Hyeon Gyu-ha walked slowly in front of the desk, crossed his legs as instructed, and sat down with an arrogant gaze. “Hello, this is Hyeon Gyu-ha.” “Did my voice shake a lot?” Lee Hye-yeon whispered while waving her hand fan over her flushed face. In Yoo-shin raised his double thumbs-up. “Nunim, you were the best. When you retire as a hunter, you could do variety shows or MC work, right?” “Haha. Even just saying that is appreciated, man. Anyway, I’ll show the Gyu-ha video later. I’ll go first. Good luck with the broadcast.” “Thank you very much, Hunter-nim. I’ll greet you again later.” A low greeting whispered around the corner of the conference room. Lee Hye-yeon, who had postponed her appointment due to a sudden live broadcast, hurriedly left the conference room. In the meantime, Hyeon Gyu-ha straightened his posture in less than a minute of sitting with his legs crossed. “Who put this kind of posture into the script when your pelvis is twisted? You’re handling it so roughly that it’s not your pelvis.” Ohana, who insisted that one must sit with one's legs crossed when wearing a suit, tried to avoid it, and In Yoo-shin, who thought that look was fatal, was also stung. Anyway, from the moment his appearance was captured on camera, the comment section exploded and the number of viewers increased rapidly. It was impossible to keep up with the speed at which the comments were going up, but it seemed that there was no particular problem with Hyeon Gyu-ha's visual acuity. “What do you mean my ‘true form’ isn’t a jacket? I just wear jackets because they’re comfortable, my true form is my heart that adores my boyfriend.” “I’m not wearing a suit because today is a special day. You know, peacocks? Why do male peacocks decorate their tails? That’s right. I wore it to woo my boyfriend. I almost got dumped again yesterday. I don’t know if there are other men here, but if you don’t want to get dumped, you should take care of yourself like I did.” “I don't have any four-legged pets at home, but I kind of want my boyfriend to raise me. I can crawl on all fours.” “It’s a couple ring with my boyfriend.” “I like eating tteokbokki with my boyfriend the most.” “It’s a song I sing with my boyfriend.” “I’ve never been to the movies with my boyfriend, so I don’t know what’s good about it.” “It’s a good season for dating your boyfriend.” "I told my boyfriend I almost got dumped, but who asked me what I did yesterday?" However, because the answer to all questions was boyfriend in the end, In Yoo-shin constantly felt flushed and hot. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been answering whatever came to mind, paused his words for a moment and drank water. It was at that very moment that his eyes met In Yoo-shin's, who was flapping himself with a three-page makeshift script because even a hand fan wasn't helping. *** HM: Ohana really knows what she’s doing… Thirst Trap LOL ET: crawling on all fours is crazy work ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Editor M, eteryl If you wanna become a translator, editor or proofreader, please use the discord link given below and follow the instructions in the recruit channel.

Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been answering indifferently the whole time, instinctively closed his eyes and smiled faintly when their eyes met. Of course, the viewers who were participating in the live broadcast couldn’t see In Yoo-shin, but it was obvious who those meltingly sweet eyes were directed at. In the comments section where the comments were going crazy, In Yoo-shin couldn't raise his reddened face after seeing words like "salting" and "melodrama eyes". Even the other employees of the digital communication team in the conference room felt awkward for no reason, but Hyeon Gyu-ha remained calm. “Team Leader. But how long do I have to do this?” “Ahem, just answer three more questions that stand out to you and then we can move on.” "Then………………. 1 Are you asking me to make a survival report in the private chat room? Because I am a man without ego, only if my boyfriend permits it." In Yoo-shin nodded hurriedly with a red face, and Hyeon Gyu-ha took a selfie on the spot and sent it to the private chat room. “2. I don’t plan on creating an SNS group because it would be a hassle to manage. 3. I did join the fan cafe a long time ago when I was bored, but I got kicked out for posting spam when my ID was hacked. I couldn’t even re-join. Question time is over.” Whether the fan cafe that permanently banned him was overturned or not, Hyeon Gyu-ha continued with the script. He memorized the entire thing after skimming through it once and moved his lips absentmindedly. “As Hye-yeon said earlier, public servant hunters are people who do their best in places that are not visible, even though they get cursed at.” Hyeon Gyu-ha shrugged his shoulders as he recited a script that relieved the sorrow of the disabled who were being beaten here and there, while also asking for more support for the civil service hunters. “Well, I know that saying something like that won’t really get through to many people. Even if you work part-time at other engineering schools, you won’t get the same salary as the guild. People who don’t like shift work will have a hard time. However, there are definitely some advantages to working at a public service hunter. First of all, the cafeteria is delicious. They serve special meals regularly. They also provide breakfast and dinner for shift workers, so people who don’t want to bother cooking can eat three nutritious meals at the cafeteria.” This wasn't in the script. The staff looked puzzled, but since he was talking about the good points, they thought that good things were good. I didn't know what he was thinking, but I seriously thought that maybe we should shut his mouth first. “Here’s the point. Even if you’re a hunter who’s interested in becoming a public service hunter, you’re still at a low rank. If you go to a regular guild with that rank, you’ll be busy mopping up the floor for the higher-ranking hunters, so why not become a public service hunter instead? Rather than getting beat up in a shitty guild trying to make more money, it seems like it would be better for everyone to find mental peace in a small special ability guild. The extra money you earn could all go towards mental hospital bills. By the way, the hunters in the Ministry of Ability are generally the 'them' in 'I'm better than them.' I'm not included in that, of course.”¹ Team Leader Noh let out a silent scream. In Yoo-shin sank heavily. He had to cover Hyeon Gyu-ha’s mouth as well. “I think I’ve done everything I can to promote it, and I’ll tell you something personal. Those who wrote malicious comments about my boyfriend should be sued by me by now, but since there’s no agreement and no leniency, don’t waste your energy on useless things. That’s all for now. Thank you for watching the live broadcast.” The live broadcast that started unexpectedly was going well, but ended with Team Leader Noh's mental state suddenly collapsing. “T-Thank you for your hard work.…….” "Team Leader. Is what I said earlier okay?" “I don’t know……. It’ll work out somehow…….” It's already spilled milk. Team Leader Noh decided to think positively. Since he'd already drawn some aggro, he could probably call it publicity…….? He had said it was publicity. And he had Hyeon Gyu-ha as his all-purpose shield. Who could shut Hyeon Gyu-ha's mouth? And the only person who could do that task was more surprised by the other remarks. “What did you file?” "You don't have to worry about it, Yoo-shin- ssi . If those guys contact you because they can't get through to me, just ignore them and hand them over to me right away. I'll take care of everything." In Yoo-shin nodded absentmindedly. Ohana, who had no responsibilities anyway since she was a contract worker, quickly recovered and approached the two people. “Hunter- nim , I’d like to ask you to take just one photo to post on SNS.” She quickly continued speaking before Hyeon Gyu-ha could refuse and that it was annoying. “I brought a Polaroid too, so let’s take a nice picture with Yoo-shin to commemorate the live broadcast!” Hyeon Gyu-ha agreed without a second thought. In this way, the live broadcast ended completely after many twists and turns. Team Leader Noh learned the lesson from the public relations manager that he should never do a live broadcast with Hyeon Gyu-ha. But his aggro really worked, and the number of applications for civil service hunters increased more than usual during the next quarter's recruitment. Meanwhile, In Yoo-shin, who had never taken a Polaroid photo before, looked at it with curiosity. It definitely felt different from the photos taken with a cell phone. Is this the real emotion? Hyeon Gyu-ha also bowed his head and looked at the photo. “I was worried when I came out in the morning whether I would be able to pull it off, but looking at it this way, it’s not so bad.” “Who wouldn’t fall for Gyu-ha- ssi ’s face?” In Yoo-shin answered seriously and gently put the photo into his phone case. I planned to put it on the wall where it would be visible when I got home. It was the first photo I had taken with him. “I did something that pleased my Master for once today, so I hope I don’t have to fight with the devil so that I can maintain this appearance perfectly until I get off work.” “That sounds like a bit of a flag.” "Hey, no way." Hyeon Gyu-ha laughed as if that couldn’t be the case. *** By the time the live broadcast ended, it was roughly lunchtime. The employees' mentality is disturbed, and the broadcast commemorative dinner is therapy. When they arrived at the meat restaurant near the office building and smelled the lingering smell of meat, the employees except Team Leader Noh regained their senses. “If I had known there was a company dinner here, I would have gone to eat somewhere better.” Hyeon Gyu-ha clicked his tongue. He had already made a reservation so he couldn't cancel it. As the red hook and other meats were served one by one, Team Leader Noh belatedly regained his energy. If I stuff some meat into my stomach, wouldn’t I be able to endure it even if I was beaten by my superiors? "This was our first urgent live broadcast, but you worked really hard today. Our team owes a lot to Hunter- nim  and Yoo-shin- ssi . Please continue to support us in the future. We have to go back before lunch time, so eat quickly. And no soju, so as to not get a public complaint!" The table soon began to smell deliciously of grilled meat. As usual, Hyeong Gyu-ha snatched the meat before In Yoo-shin could even pick up the tongs, and began grilling the meat himself. The staff at the same table also felt embarrassed that they ate the meat for free. He heard that an 8- se , who was adored by the office staff and even got snacks while In Yoo-shin was doing a live broadcast. He cutely licked the cola that In Yoo-shin poured into a soju glass.  It seems he still had room for meat. “Yoo-shin- ssi , this kid eats raw garlic well too? That’s really amazing.” 8- se , who was munching on meat, also crunched on the garlic that the employee next to him gave him out of curiosity. It was spicy, so he ate slowly, but he quickly finished one garlic clove. In Yoo-shin put more meat on 8- se ’s plate. "Is its name Palse?" “The number is 8. I raised seven rats before this one.” “Aha. 8- se ya, eat lots of meat.” But really, 8-se is a hamster-shaped demon that I found in the dungeon and tamed. Hyeon Gyu-ha too. It wasn't entirely wrong. “I think that guy would eat raw meat well.” Even while grumbling, Hyeon Gyu-ha used scissors to cut the meat that he was going to serve to 8- se . 8- se , who was absorbed in the meat, rarely responded to Hyeon Gyu-ha's harassment and just eagerly ate the meat. One of the employees at the next table, who was fiddling with his cell phone, suddenly raised his voice. “Oh, our broadcast response is really good?” “It’s already spreading?” “Two hunter-nims have appeared, of course! Just by glancing, the hottest thing seems to be …… ahem, I think it's the part where Hunter Hyeon was smiling.” The dinner party became even more lively as the response was good despite the twists and turns. Hyeon Gyu-ha was the only one who was grilling meat without paying attention even though he was listening to his own story. “Would you like some more perilla leaves?” “Ah, yes.” While trying to secretly find out his reaction, Hyeon Gyu-ha spoke to him, and In Yoo-shin, who was pricked by his own behaviour, quickly put down his phone. After the company dinner, the other employees hurried back to the office, but In Yoo-shin leisurely headed to the Hunter waiting room with Hyeon Gyu-ha. If it were any other time, I would have been unable to resist Hyeon Gyu-ha’s seduction with his face and would have gone down to the gym in tears, but today, he was wearing a perfectly fitting suit. "I can't wear wrinkled clothes in front of Master." For a moment, In Yoo-shin was tempted to think that he should be asking him to wear a suit every day. But. “Next time I wear a suit, I should bring my training clothes too.” “…….” Well then, things can't be resolved that easily. The other hunters were either in the training room or out on business, so there were only two people in the waiting room. 8- se , who had inhaled a lot of meat, laid down on an empty chair with his bulging belly sticking out. “Kyuung……” I feel like I ate a dozen times my body weight, but where did all that food I ate go? While Hyeon Gyu-ha left the break room to make coffee for two people, In Yoo-shin quickly entered a search term into his phone. Hyeon Gyu-ha's melodramatic eyes. *** HM: By the way, the hunters in the special ability department are generally the 'them' in 'I'm better than them.'

Jeong Tae-ui hesitated for a moment longer but soon gave up and shrugged. The man wasn't trying to harm me, nor did he seem likely to do anything to my comrades—the direction he was heading was the opposite, for one thing. In that case, it was best not to be curious about unnecessary things. Jeong Tae-ui cleared his mind again and turned his steps back in his original direction. As he expected the sound of water to grow closer, it wasn't long before his view opened up and the sea appeared. The night sea is pitch black. Utterly black without a single light, the sea, if not for the sound, would be a gaping maw of black darkness, impossible to guess if it was a sea or what it was. Black darkness. The sound of waves. The smell of the sea. The damp wind. All of it wrapped around his eyes, ears, nose, and skin. That's why Jeong Tae-ui had always liked the night sea. Hoo, he let out a long sigh. His breath mingled with the sound of the waves. Suddenly, he felt better, and a clear smile played on his lips. Should I bring Xinlu next time? Although it's a little dangerous at night due to the many snakes in the forest, I thought that if we were properly prepared, there wouldn't be anything to worry about after seeing it one day. In this vast darkness, how wonderful would it be to hold the warmth of another person's body in my hand? ……Actually, it didn't have to be Xinlu, anyone would do. The ground beneath his feet was unstable. The seashore, piled high with large rocks instead of sand, was difficult to walk on comfortably like a stroll. There were large holes in places and gaps between the rocks, making it precarious. However, Jeong Tae-ui tapped the rocks lightly with his heel, tapping, and smiled. When I was a kid, my parents were often busy and I was sent to my maternal grandparents' house, which was by the sea. So, I would play by running around on the rocks of the seashore. Thinking about it, my Hyung seemed to have already been talking about the process of rock erosion due to high salinity seawater back then. Walking on the rocks as if on flat ground, Jeong Tae-ui softly hummed a tune. The pitch-black darkness, the cold, damp wind – it all felt good. Perhaps because I was reminded of my childhood memories, I suddenly missed my Hyung. It would be nice if Hyung were walking with me right now. He surely would have been happy too. Jeong Tae-ui stopped, a hint of regret in his smile. A lighthouse stood in the distance. A couple of streetlights near the lighthouse were illuminated. Their light didn't reach brightly here, but they cast a faint glow on the surroundings. Perhaps I should head back now. This is far enough. One more step and this pleasant darkness would end, replaced by a dim light. Ending his night walk here and slowly returning to his comrades would probably align with his watch duty time. Jeong Tae-ui looked at the sea for a moment longer, then turned around. He looked at the way he came and gauged a shortcut. Going diagonally to the right would be faster. Confident in his sense of direction, he started crossing the rocks, deviating slightly to the right from the path he had taken. One, two, there were some quite large rocks, so he changed direction slightly as he made his way back. But at a certain moment. At a certain moment, I ignored that small sound that could have been, thinking that it’s mixed with the sound of the wind. Jeong Tae-ui's steps slowed. Tilting his head slightly and gradually slowing his pace, he finally stopped altogether. It was because he hadn't misheard the sound that was coming intermittently. The sound was coming from below the rock.  It was a large rock blocking Jeong Tae-ui's path—truly as big as a house. Deep within the rock, which seemed to form a shallow cave hollowed out inwards with a hole in the ceiling, I can continuously hear a lewd sound. It was a sign of a person. Someone was inside. Jeong Tae-ui realized that if he took just a few more steps, he would come face to face with the person inside. Perhaps it was someone who had come out to the beach in their sleep during the night and was relieving themselves in a secluded spot. However, I knew well that this was unlikely. It was quite a distance from the forest where they were camping to here, after all. Or perhaps it was the person I had glimpsed in the forest earlier.  Recalling that person who had seemed suspicious, Jeong Tae-ui inwardly clicked his tongue. Whatever it was, I want to avoid getting caught up in troublesome matters. Isn't it better to secretly turn back now? Hesitating for a moment and listening to the presence, Jeong Tae-ui soon realized that there was more than one person inside. No voices were heard. However, the short, sharp sounds and the sounds of movement were not those of a single person.  Probably two. Mixing with the sound of the waves, there was the sound of water. At first, Jeong Tae-ui thought it was the sound of water. But he soon felt a sense of incongruity. It was a sound of the same kind as water, but it was different from the sound of the sea or a puddle in a cave.  The sound was more sticky and wet, more lewd on the side. "...—." Jeong Tae-ui, who had been rubbing his chin and tilting his head in confusion, suddenly covered his mouth without realizing it. A look of embarrassment appeared on his face. It was a sound Jeong Tae-ui knew. It was a wet, lewd sound. To be exact, the sound of licking and sucking on wet skin.  And mixed in between those sounds were gasping, tearful breaths and low growling breaths. Occasionally, short moans of pleasure could be heard. ……Oh dear. I've come at an awkward time. Who on earth are these energetic fellows? I never would have dreamed that there would be people enjoying themselves on the beach in the middle of the night. This wasn't some resort beach, and I couldn't believe there were guys fooling around like that on the beach of an island full of nothing but men. Jeong Taeui scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. Should I go back and take the long way around? It would be a long detour, but if I passed by here and made eye contact, that would also be awkward. But to go around, I'd have to climb over the rocks behind me, which looked quite steep. It seemed a bit difficult to do with bare hands without tools. And if I went back the way I came and went lower down, it would be too much of a detour. Jeong Taeui examined the path ahead, lost in thought. The darkness, barely touched by the lighthouse's dim glow, pooled in the crevices of the rocks. The rocks were hollowed out in places, carved by the waves.  If I lowered my body and passed through there, I might be able to get by without being noticed, if he was careful. Well, in this darkness, and especially while completely lost in pleasure, it would be hard for them to sense someone's presence. Besides, well…… if push came to shove, I could just consider it an interesting sight. Though I probably wouldn't see anything. Jeong Tae-ui crept down into the gap between the rocks, muffling his steps. Clack , his foot struck a stone, but the sound was small enough to be lost in the sound of the waves. It's okay, I wouldn't be caught with this much noise. Come to think of it, even if I was caught, there was no reason for me to flinch. If they, who were trying to enjoy themselves secretly here, were startled and flinched, that would be another matter. I wasn't intentionally trying to peek, so why should I? Jeong Tae-ui patted his chest and moved forward. He lowered his body and passed in front of the hollowed-out rock. The fleeting glance he cast in that direction as he passed was not out of a desire to peek. It was merely to check if his figure would be visible to them. From inside the rock, a very faint light was leaking out. Perhaps one of the people inside had brought a portable temporary flashlight or something. But even that wasn't very bright, only lighting just enough to see around. There were two people inside. One person was crouched and bowed between the legs of a man sitting leaning against the rock. With both hands wrapped around the sitting man's genitals, they licked the tip. Then, moving down the shaft to the base and further down to the sac below, they licked and sucked as if entranced. Sticky, wet sounds continuously leaked from between the legs. The person crouched with their face buried between the man's legs seemed excited by that alone, shaking their hips and waist, lost in their desire. Occasionally, as if unable to bear it, a hand reached out to rub their groin, wet and glistening in the faint light. At the same time, short moans, as if they could no longer endure, burst out. And before him, the man sitting leaning against the rock was looking down at the man burying his face between his legs, lost in pleasure. With a placid yet openly desirous, languid face, he looked down upon the one faithfully serving him. The moment Jeong Tae-ui saw that expression, he felt a jolt in his chest. It was a combination of shock and dread. The man's eyes were exceptionally cold. Yet, they were infinitely hot. He was reacting hotly and passionately to his own desire, but it was not a longing for the person between his legs. He was enjoying merely the act itself, without the slightest trace of emotion towards the person performing it with him. And Jeong Tae-ui quickly realized who the man was. The face, whose outline emerged faintly in the darkness, was one he could not mistake. Riegrow ……Damn it. Why do I keep running into this guy everywhere I go? He's the last person I want to run into. He should be quietly sleeping at this hour. Why drag someone out to this beach to do this kind of thing? Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue. It would’ve been fine had I not known, but now I’m stuck. I feel like I would be discovered if I moved even a single finger. No, maybe I had already been discovered. Jeong Tae-ui stood there as if frozen, holding his breath. How can I get out of here?  That was the only thought in his head. Riegrow, whether he was aware of someone's presence or not, was engrossed in the act. Looking down at the young man between his legs, who was moving his mouth and wriggling his tongue as if ravenous, he suddenly grabbed the young man's hair. And roughly yanked that head close to his groin. "Swallow deeper. Harder. ……Can't you suck it right?" He lightly grabbed the young man's chin and shook it. Then, clicking his tongue, he gripped the young man's head and immediately began thrusting. The young man let out choking sounds and gasped for breath. Riegrow, who had been roughly moving his hips against the young man's mouth to the point where it seemed he would suffocate, then pulled out as the choking young man struggled, and lightly slapped his cheek. Though called a light slap, a dry, resonant sound rang out quite forcefully, and the young man's head snapped to the side. "Do it right, I said. Lick every inch, suck hard. Then I'll thrust into you as much as you crave. You're making a face like your hole is itching to be fucked, yet you're not putting in any effort." His voice was hoarsely excited. Dripping with lust and expelled with ragged breaths, his voice escaped hotly. The young man again frantically rushed between his legs. Soon, violent and urgent sounds echoed. Jeong Tae-ui could feel his own face hardening. My chest is heating up and I feel suffocated. This was not only because of this abnormal situation of peeping at another's act. Nor was it due to the fact that it had been a long time since I had relieved myself. Riegrow, this overwhelming man, was radiating energy as intense as his tyrannical might. He was the strongest male, one that would make any ordinary man tuck his tail and run away. Any woman whose primal instincts were alive would instinctively offer herself to him, and men wouldn't even dare to stand before him. It was inadequate to describe this as mere sexual charm. The scent of a male that would overwhelmingly draw others emanated from his entire body. So that anyone bitten on the neck by those cruel fangs would lie prostrate, unable to even contemplate resistance. The color drained from Jeong Tae-ui's face. I felt threatened by the very presence of this man, who was difficult to contend with as a male. Dangerous. Mustn't get close.  Just as someone entering a stronger male's territory instinctively flees that place, Jeong Tae-ui felt a suffocating sensation from the man, like primal threat and fear. Just then, Riegrow, who had been looking down at the young man with lowered gaze, lifted his eyelids. Those jet-black eyes unhesitatingly turned towards here. As if he had known from the beginning. Jeong Tae-ui was completely still, as if frozen. He could only face that man, as if confronting the gaze of a beast staring him down. From where Riegrow was, Jeong Tae-ui shouldn't have been visible. No, even if he felt a presence, he shouldn't have been able to discern at least who was standing there. Because the light didn't reach that far. Riegrow cast a chilling gaze towards where Jeong Tae-ui was. Then, at one moment, he subtly twisted up his lips. A sneer, or a threat. As if telling a weakling like me, hiding and frozen there, to quickly get lost. Twitch, Jeong Tae-ui curled his fingertips. Then, his body moved as if a person released from sleep paralysis. His heart, vigorously pumping blood, was pounding so fiercely it hurt, as if sensing danger from the instinctive threat. I would better go now. I must get out of here. I wanted to leave this spot quickly. I couldn't bear this suffocating intensity any longer. If I disappeared quietly now, that tyrannical beast wouldn't target my throat and chase after me. In that case, leaving now was the best move. Riegrow. This damn guy. Doesn't that guy ever get tired? Rolling around all day, then coming on a forced march at night without rest, he should be lying down quietly and sleeping. Why is he having this crude fun in a corner of a beach like this? Along with surging anger that welled up, Jeong Tae-ui felt anxiety subtly rising from within. Although I couldn't see properly in the faint light, I suddenly had a feeling that the young man giving his body to Riegrow might resemble Xinlu. Relatively narrow shoulders and slender limbs, the smooth lines of his body flowing down. Rather than the body itself, the image those features created was similar to Xinlu's. A soft-feeling body. Damn it. If he clearly has a partner, he should keep his eyes off Xinlu, I'm saying. This unfaithful immoral madman. Jeong Tae-ui chewed curses silently in his mouth and moved away without a sound. After walking ten or so steps, only reaching a place he felt was a little far from them, did he steal a glance back that way. Now their forms were hidden in the shade, and only flickering shadows on the rock could be seen. "My luck isn't going well lately, seriously…….." Jeong Tae-ui grumbled slightly and sighed. And it was just as he was about to turn back and leave. On top of the large rock where they were hidden, I thought I saw a shadowy figure moving slightly. Jeong Tae-ui stopped his turn and sharply turned his head.  I hadn't seen anything wrong. Clearly, one person was lying prone on top of the rock, moving cautiously. That person, who seemed not to have seen me, was giving all his attention to the person below the rock—probably Riegrow. And Jeong Tae-ui saw. The outline of that shadow's hand, faintly illuminated by the dimly reflected light from inside the rock. There, a large and seemingly heavy crossbow was held. Jeong Tae-ui gasped. Holyzone…… no, maybe it was Steck. Although it was dark and hard to see, the crossbow held by that shadow was more than enough to shoot and kill one person. Furthermore, especially like now, if the tip of the crossbow was aiming at the head directly from above. Jeong Tae-ui could soon make out that figure. It was the man I had seen earlier in the forest. That man I had given up following, although I had thought his behavior was somewhat strange, was now targeting Riegrow from up there. The man's index finger was on the trigger. If he pulled just a few more millimeters, the heavy and sharp bolt would pierce Riegrow's head. There was no time to think or move. Almost instinctively, or exactly according to the reflexes ingrained in his body since childhood, Jeong Tae-ui snatched up a fist-sized rock he could grab and threw it. The sound of it cutting the air ripped the night's silence. And at the same time, a snapping sound was heard from the man's wrist struck hard by the rock. "Ugh!!"  At the unexpected strike, the man's cry rang out. In that moment, pulling the trigger, the misfired bolt left the bowstring. And that bolt, as luck would have it, flew towards Jeong Tae-ui. " Gasp ...!"  Jeong Tae-ui drew a sharp breath. He reflexively dodged the moment the crossbow turned towards him due to the rock's impact, but the bolt was just as fast. The bolt he avoided by a hair's breadth barely grazed Jeong Tae-ui's elbow and passed by, embedding itself right where Jeong Tae-ui had been standing just a moment ago. Jeong Tae-ui broke out in a cold sweat. If I hadn't instinctively twisted my body, I would have been seeing the afterlife by now. I had almost died instead, while trying to save a person. Only after seeing the bolt embedded in the ground trembling did his mind, which had barely regained a little composure, sigh with a hint of regret. Why did I help? If I had just left him alone, I might have been able to see that ominous and dangerous man disappear from the world. Furthermore, perhaps the man with the crossbow wasn't he just trying to do what was rightfully needed? If you think about it, it's much more likely that Riegrow is the wicked one than that man. However, probably even if the same thing happened again—and even if the person changed—I would have done the same thing. In any case, I wasn't the type of person to just watch someone die before his eyes. While Jeong Tae-ui was steeped in countless regrets and worries during a short span of less than a few seconds, Riegrow's response was instantaneous. Pushing aside the young man crouching between his legs without hesitation, he picked up a suitable rock that was rolling on the ground. And half raising his body, he hurled it towards the head of the man on the rock gripping his wrist. The rock flew with perfect accuracy, striking the man's head, which broke open and spurted blood. Letting out a low single groan, he collapsed on the spot as if unconscious. Without even looking at the young man, who was screaming in belated surprise and frozen stiff, Riegrow picked up the crossbow that had rolled down from the man's hand. And from that crossbow, he saw the bolt which had flown just a moment ago and was embedded in the rock crevice. Finally, he turned his gaze to Jeong Tae-ui, who was next to it. When their eyes met, Jeong Tae-ui, feeling needlessly awkward even though he hadn't targeted him, raised his two hands to show them. Riegrow's gaze coldly came down towards Jeong Tae-ui's hands. "That wasn't me. ……No, actually, if you look at it, I helped you. There's no reason to glare at me like that."  Jeong Tae-ui mumbled, feeling a bit wronged. Riegrow said curtly, "I know." Then, clicking his tongue with displeasure, he just stepped forward. His steps approaching Jeong Tae-ui were unhesitating. Facing him who was approaching with large strides, Jeong Tae-ui instinctively wanted to step back, but because it was all rocks under his feet, he couldn't backpedal in his unstable state. "I keep telling you it wasn't me. Besides, I don't even know who that guy is. And his business has nothing to do with mine." Hearing "I told you I know" repeated, Riegrow muttered as if bewildered. Jeong Tae-ui glared at him with wary eyes. He won't suddenly attack the person who helped him, will he? But why is he walking towards me? No, I don't care, just put some clothes on. As the naked man approached without hesitation, Jeong Tae-ui felt extremely uncomfortable. However, Riegrow stopped about four or five steps away, completely unconcerned and with a calm expression. He then bent down and picked up the arrow stuck in the crevice of the rock. Examining the tip of the arrow, he tapped it a couple of times with his fingertips and chuckled. "If that had hit my head, even I wouldn't have been unharmed." Jeong Tae-ui corrected him, mumbling with a frown. Riegrow's gaze, which had been examining the arrow, fixed back on Jeong Tae-ui's face. Jeong Tae-ui flinched, twisted his lips, and made the same excuse for the third time. "It has nothing to do with me. ……Ah, really. Stop glaring at me like that. Why are you trying to give the person who saved you a heart attack?" Suddenly feeling a surge of indignation at receiving such a sharp glare after helping, Jeong Tae-ui complained. Riegrow raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly. "I wasn't glaring, but did it seem like that? I know who that man is. He's one of my team members. I know why he tried to kill me, and I know it has nothing to do with you, so don't get so worked up. ---Besides, even if I were holding a grudge, would I do anything to you in this situation, right after you helped me?" He chuckled as if it were amusing. However, the sturdy arrow spinning between his fingers like a twirling pen couldn't help but look extremely dangerous. Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue. "You're very calm for someone who almost died. I guess this isn't the first or second time this has happened." "Well, I experience it about once or twice a month." He spoke calmly, as if making small talk about worldly affairs. He tapped the arrowhead again and muttered. "That guy, too, if he gets a hole blasted in his head with this, just like I was about to, he'll probably come to his senses." "I don't care, but I'd appreciate it if you'd do it out of my sight. Preferably not where I am, either. ……Even better, if you could take care of it after you've gone back to Europe." Jeong Tae-ui grumbled with a look as if he'd bitten a bug. I absolutely did not want to get involved in troublesome matters, no matter what. I had no desire whatsoever to be a witness at a death scene. Damn it. Why do I keep getting entangled with this guy? I should have just pretended not to see and left. I'm an idiot. Whether it was due to the chilly sea wind or the man in front of him, Jeong Tae-ui felt a sudden chill on his arm and rubbed it with his palm. Then, feeling a sting, he rubbed it with his palm. He then noticed a long wound a little further down. Only after seeing the torn skin and bleeding did Jeong Taeui realize for the first time that he was injured. He muttered, "Uh," in confusion, then soon realized it was a wound from the arrow he had narrowly avoided when the crossbow flew at him just moments ago. "Wow……. incredible. To be this much just from a slight graze, if it had hit properly, it would have been a real goner……. That guy also needs to copy the UNHRDO Disciplinary Regulations ten times for violating weapons possession rules." Jeong Tae-ui clicked his tongue and muttered. It seemed to be cut quite deeply, as the bleeding didn't stop easily. Hearing that, Riegrow suddenly burst into laughter. The low but cheerful laughter didn't stop for a while. As Jeong Tae-ui looked at him with a displeased face, Riegrow gradually stopped laughing and said. “Ahaha, right. As you say, I’ll deal with him after he copied the Disciplinary Regulations ten times. Alright, while I'm here, I'll tell him to copy the regulations, and I'll handle it after I return to Europe. The person who saved my life tells me to, so of course, I must obey.” Riegrow continued to chuckle softly for a while, then lifted Jeong Tae-ui's arm, examining the wound. “The cut is a bit deep, but not severe. Once the bleeding stops, there's nothing much to worry about. ……I'll give you this to wipe it.” Saying that, Riegrow took off the glove he was wearing. Jeong Tae-ui agitated with a groan. Surely he wasn't telling me to wipe the wound with that glove, soaked in the blood of countless people? If he wiped it with that, it felt as though the grudges of all those people would cling to me. “You really are completely different from your brother. Even for fraternal twins, it's rare to be this different. That's fine though. It's not bad at all.” Riegrow whispered in a tone that still held a trace of laughter. Jeong Tae-ui, who had hesitantly reached out to take the glove he offered, paused for a moment. I feel like I had heard somewhere before. Although subtly different, I had definitely heard something with similarly like that recently. And who I had heard it from was--. Seeing Jeong Tae-ui just holding the glove and staring at him without moving, he tilted his head, took the glove back, and gently wiped Jeong Tae-ui's wound with it. His bare hand holding the blood-stained glove was remarkably white. Receiving the hazy moonlight under the sky where the fog was beginning to lift, his hand was unusually pale. Fingernails that sparkled neatly like glass. Long, delicate fingers. A white and beautiful hand. It was a familiar hand. So familiar that it seemed more accustomed to me than my own hand. Riegrow, who had finished wiping Jeong Tae-ui's wound, seemed to have noticed his gaze fixed on his hand. He suddenly raised an eyebrow and muttered, "Oh my," as if troubled, then clenched and unclenched his hand. That movement was also familiar. "Do you like my hand that much?" He asked Jeong Tae-ui, who couldn't take his eyes off his hand. Jeong Tae-ui raised his head and stared intently at the man who was smiling faintly in front of him. Damn it. What is this? Only that thought came to mind. His mind was blank, and no thoughts surfaced, but at some point, a sudden anger welled up. "If I say I like it, will you cut it off and give it to me?" When Jeong Tae-ui spoke gruffly, Riegrow laughed aloud. The tone of the electronic voice he had heard recently overlapped with his laughter. Thinking about it, even his way of speaking was similar. "If you want it. Your own hand suits you, but if you want it, I'll give it to you. After I die." "I don't need it. It doesn't make sense for me to ask for them now that I said I didn't need them until recently." Jeong Tae-ui's voice became increasingly displeased. His mood became as unpleasant as his voice. Riegrow was smiling in front of him. The smile that creased around his eyes subtly looked down at Jeong Tae-ui. Jeong Tae-ui glared at his hand again. There couldn't be two such hands in this whole world. Such a beautiful hand. "Which is your last name and which is your first name?" Jeong Tae-ui asked sullenly. A question he had never thought of before suddenly popped into his mind. Riegrow looked at Jeong Tae-ui, smiling subtly, then after a brief pause, he answered. "Riegrow is my last name." "I see. ……Which do you prefer to be called?" "Whichever is comfortable for you." "Fine. But I don't really feel like calling you by either, Ilay Riegrow." Jeong Tae-ui spoke, overtly revealing his unpleasant feelings. The man in front of him just sighed and laughed. I now had one more reason to resent my uncle. *** ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Tâmago We made a discord server! please join us!

8.   As if to tease Chae Yoo-jeong, who was very nervous ahead of the most important moment of his life, Yoo Ji-han went into the bedroom bathroom and washed up.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was sitting on the bed listening to the sound of water coming through the door, could hardly calm down. The red tips of his ears showed how excited he was.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was staring at the closed bathroom door while holding down his trembling fingertips, hurriedly got up when a flash of thought occurred to him.   ‘That’s right. I should prepare in advance.’   Chae Yoo-jeong hurriedly walked to the nightstand next to the bed, opened the bottom drawer, and took out the items he had purchased in advance. It was a condom and gel.   It was a necessity prepared by hand for this day. Chae Yoo-jeong has been studying hard. If you’re with men, you definitely need gel, and it’s good manners to wear a condom... Things like this.   ‘Can I do well?’   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was anxious, soon held his chest, with his lips closed.   You absolutely have to do well. Because it will be my first sex with Yoo Ji-han.   It was at that time when Chae Yoo-jeong had a bright red face and was steeling his resolve. Click, the bathroom door finally opened and Yoo Ji-han walked out, his hair wet.   “Did you wait long?”   “Ah, no!”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was startled and answered loudly without realizing it, covered his mouth with his hand and bit his tongue.   Unlike himself, who was extremely nervous, Yoo Ji-han returned to his normal self while he was washing up. The difference was somehow embarrassing.   Although not similar to Chae Yoo-jeong, who was filled with tension and excitement, Yoo Ji-han was feeling a somewhat unfamiliar feeling. Even though I had to go to work tomorrow, I was amazed at how I had come this far with only the desire to see Chae Yoo-jeong.   ‘I’ll have to go to work tomorrow wearing the same clothes I wore today.’   When I think about it now, even though it was very inefficient and inconvenient, I didn’t feel any regrets.  Even if I go back in time and go back to when I passed the flower shop earlier, Yoo Ji-han would make the same choice.   ‘Well, it’s just clothes.’   If I thought it was the reward for clearing up his misunderstanding with Chae Yoo-jeong and having the sex I so desperately wanted, I could wear the same clothes to work a hundred more times.   Yoo Ji-han approached Chae Yoo-jeong, lightly brushing away the thoughts from his head, and soon discovered the items placed on the nightstand next to Chae Yoo-jeong. Yoo Ji-han’s expression became strange when he saw the neatly placed condom box and gel.   “Ah, this is……I-I bought it because you said you needed it.”   Chae Yoo-jeong quickly opened his mouth, fearing that Yoo Ji-han might feel rejected. Yoo Ji-han, who was blinking as if he was thinking about something at the explanation that seemed like an excuse, turned his gaze to Chae Yoo-jeong.   “Yoo-jeong-ah.”   “Yes.”   “You said earlier that you had a lot of dreams about sleeping with me.”   Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes shook greatly when he saw Yoo Ji-han asking him if he had dirty dreams about him. However, he did not deny it and answered calmly.   “Yes…………”   “How was it?”   “Uh, how was it… ?”   “Did it feel good? Are you satisfied?”   Chae Yoo-jeong was at a loss to answer a question that felt somewhat unexpected. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was hesitant and unable to make eye contact with Yoo Ji-han, quietly nodded.   “I guess? Sorry.”   “Why are you apologizing again? Do you think you’re the only one who had dreams like that? I also had a dream like that.”   Yoo Ji-han, who had appeased Chae Yoo-jeong with a joke, reached out and touched Chae Yoo-jeong’s lips with his thumb.   In a split second, complex emotions passed through Yoo Ji-han’s black eyes. But he soon whispered with a deep, relieved smile as if nothing had happened.   “Let’s kiss, Yoo-jeong-ah.”   “…….”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was looking at Yoo Ji-han as if he were fascinated, kissed him without hesitation.   After kissing deeply, Yoo Ji-han pulled Chae Yoo-jeong onto the bed. Contrary to Sunday night, Yoo Ji-han’s back fell onto the bed first. The heat that had died down was rekindled with one kiss.   “Hu, ugh…ha…………….”   Chae Yoo-jeong couldn’t help but moan at the thrilling sensation of his tongue rubbing against each other. He held on to Yoo Ji-han’s top with his slightly trembling fingertips.   When Chae Yoo-jeong whined, unable to kiss and undress at the same time, Yoo Ji-han laughed and lifted his waist. The clothes he borrowed from Chae Yoo-jeong were slowly taken off by Chae Yoo-jeong’s hands.   After safely taking off his top, Chae Yoo-jeong’s hands went straight to his pants. His hand gently moved from his waist, grabbed hold of his pants, and pulled them down.   “……!”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was busy taking off his clothes with both cheeks stained red, suddenly noticed something, and opened his eyes. Since the reaction was clearly visible, Yoo Ji-han spoke with his lips next to Chae Yoo-jeong’s ear, smile remaining intact.   “You only lent me clothes and didn’t give me underwear, so I thought you were telling me not to wear them.”   “Ah, Hyung………………”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was embarrassed because no matter how much he pulled down his pants, his underwear did not come out, bowed his head after hearing Yoo Ji-han’s words. The tips of the ears exposed through the disheveled hair were bright red.   “It’s okay because you’re going to take it off anyway.”   Chae Yoo-jeong, whose shoulders were shaking, glanced at Yoo Ji-han, who kept teasing him. For some reason, Chae Yoo-jeong started moving his hand that had stopped.   When his pants were pulled down to his thighs, his bare skin was truly exposed. Between his firm thighs, he could see his penis was half erect.   Yoo Ji-han, who didn’t seem particularly embarrassed even though his bottoms were taken off, continued to watch Yoo-jeong’s trembling actions. Chae Yoo-jeong licked Yoo Ji-han’s half-standing penis with his tongue.   “What the, Chae Yoo-jeong!”   Yoo Ji-han, who called him by his first name and last name, must have been so surprised that he hurriedly tried to raise his upper body.   Chae Yoo-jeong pressed Yoo Ji-han’s waist tightly and kissed the roots. Chae Yoo-jeong felt an exhilarating feeling after finally succeeding in embarrassing Yoo Ji-han.   “There’s no need to do something like that. Come up.”   “I want to do it, Hyung.”   “Yoo-jeong-ah.”   Yoo Ji-han frowned and spoke soothingly, but Chae Yoo-jeong was adamant.  I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long, how can I give up?   Chae Yoo-jeong begged again, rubbing his white face against his stiff penis.   “Please let me suck it.”   “…….”   “Please, Hyung”   I never thought I would live to see Chae Yoo-jeong begging to be allowed to perform fellatio. Yoo Ji-han, who was shocked and disgusted at the same time, let out a laugh.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who quickly realized that Yoo Ji-han would not refuse even without proper permission, stuck out his tongue again and licked the tip of his penis.    Ha, I could hear Yoo Ji-han exhaling hot breath above my head.   Feeling more confident, Chae Yoo-jeong opened his mouth and swallowed his penis first. Yoo Ji-han’s penis, which was much larger than average, quickly filled his mouth. Chae Yoo-jeong paid no heed and pushed the penis into his mouth, following his greed.   “Whoa………”   The feeling of the hot mouth spread to his genitals. Blinking his eyes slowly, Yoo Ji-han, who was feeling the pleasure of coming up, stretched out his hand.   His hand brushed Chae Yoo-jeong’s forehead and then firmly grabbed his head. His brown hair was gently tangled as it touched Yoo Ji-han’s long fingers.   “Yoo-jeong-ah.”   Yoo Ji-han, who raised the corner of his mouth, grabbed Chae Yoo-jeong’s chin with his free hand, and pulled him further.   “If you want to swallow it all, you have to open your mouth wider. Make sure it doesn’t touch your teeth. Yes, that’s right…….”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was new to sucking someone’s dick, was able to get more of his penis into his mouth thanks to the help of Yoo Ji-han.   Chae Yoo-jeong began to move his head back and forth, holding back the gag reflex that came up reflexively every time the glans touched his uvula. Every time Chae Yoo-jeong held back his nausea, he reflexively narrowed his throat and squeezed Yoo Ji-han’s penis.   “Ha…………….”   The hot, wet stimulation applied to his penis made him feel ready to cum. Yoo Ji-han thought he might make a mistake and tried to push Chae Yoo-jeong’s head.   “Yoo-jeong, stop.”   Chae Yoo-jeong lifted his gaze from the state where he was sucking his dick as his hand pushed him away. But he didn’t spit out the penis in his mouth even when he was told to stop.   Chae Yoo-jeong, with his eyes sparkling, moved his tongue more actively, as if he had been waiting for that. Yoo Ji-han’s hand holding his hair trembled as his tongue pressed against the tip of his glans again and again, sucking him like a candy.   “Gasp, ah……………!”   With a thud, Chae Yoo-jeong pushed his penis harder and deeper into his throat than ever before, accompanied by the squelching sound of his cock being thrust into the wet mouth. In the end, Yoo Ji-han could not stand the strong stimulation and his eyes twitched.   Chae Yoo-jeong swallowed every last drop of semen that poured into his mouth. Chae Yoo-jeong had finally achieved what he wanted, licking his glans with his tongue until the end.   “It’s fishy.”   Then, if the semen is dirty, it must be delicious.   Chae Yoo-jeong was dumbfounded as he said things that were obvious, so Yoo Ji-han let out a helpless laugh while he was lying down.   HM: My brain went up in flames….   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Meimei, Ghostx We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

7.   03. Younger heart   -I’ll be there soon.   After finishing the phone call with Yoo Ji-han, Chae Yoo-jeong jumped up from the sofa with a very flushed face.   ‘Hyung is coming to my house now!’   I thought Yoo Ji-han wouldn’t be able to see me on weekdays because he was so busy with work, but he suddenly came to visit! Is he saying that he wants to see me and is coming in person?   Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been circling the living room with a happy smile on his face, suddenly raised his head.   ‘Wait a minute, I can’t greet Hyung like this.’   He quickly looked at his outfit. A loose-fitting T-shirt and gray training pants. Hair that has just been washed and is slightly wet at the ends and slightly stretched out.   It looked like a normal person resting at home, but he was a little nervous about showing it to Yoo Ji-han. Chae Yoo-jeong rushed to his bathroom, straightened his messy hair, and checked the condition of his face again.   He was greedy and wanted to dress neatly, but he held back because he thought it would be strange for someone who stayed at home to wear outside clothes.   After he left the bathroom, Chae Yoo-jeong walked back and forth around the house for a long time. He was moving and couldn’t stay still even for a moment. It wasn’t any other day, and with Yoo Ji-han, who had met his friend and had a drink– Chae Yoo-jeong expected him to go home right away, so he was nervous since he felt like he had received a surprise gift.   About 40 minutes had passed since he waited anxiously with his heart pounding. The doorbell rang signaling Yoo Ji-han’s arrival.   Since he knew the door lock password, he could easily press the button and come in. Feeling once again that Yoo Ji-han’s manners were good in minute details, Chae Yoo-jeong hurriedly ran to the front door and opened the door.   “Hyung, welcome……..!”   Chae Yoo-jeong opened the door with a wide smile and was so surprised that he could not finish his sentence.   The strong scent of roses came over Chae Yoo-jeong along with the outside wind. With the sound of rustling from the wrapping paper, bright yellow gypsophila and white roses filled Chae Yoo-jeong’s field of vision.   “Gift.”   Yoo Ji-han smiled deeply as he placed a bunch of roses in the arms of the surprised Chae Yoo-jeong.   Only then did he realize that he had received flowers from Yoo Ji-han, and his neck and his face gradually turned red. He looked at the bouquet in his arms for a long time as if he couldn’t believe it, and soon his eyes were filled with emotion.   “It’s a little late, but it’s a gift to congratulate you on winning.”   “T-than… Thank you, Hyung. Too… great. I really like it.”   Was the reason he suddenly came to my house was to give me a bouquet of flowers?  Chae Yoo-jeong thought that if he became overly happy, he might faint.   As he closed the front door, he looked at Yoo Ji-han, who came inside and stretched out his hand and gently touched Chae Yoo-jeong’s cheek.   “Actually, I have something to talk about besides this.”   “What do you want to talk about?”   “Let’s go in first.”   Yoo Ji-han had just returned from an appointment after work, so he was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants. It was also Chae Yoo-jeong’s favorite outfit of his.   Chae Yoo-jeong followed behind Yoo Ji-han, who was walking towards the living room, and suppressed the desire that threatened to burst out at any moment. Just looking at his slim shoulders, straight waist, and legs stretched out underneath them was so sexy that it made his heart flutter.   “Yoo-jeong-ah.”   Yoo Ji-han, who had no idea how sinister Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes were, stopped in the middle of the living room and called out to him.   “Yes?”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who was secretly peeping at the strong arms exposed under his rolled-up shirt sleeves, suddenly came to his senses, and answered.   “Listen and don’t misunderstand.”   “Yes.”   “First… um……”   Yoo Ji-han looked unusually embarrassed, wondering what he was talking about. Chae Yu-jeong tilted his head and waited calmly without urging him to continue.   “The bouquet is just a gift to celebrate winning and has absolutely nothing to do with what I’m going to say from now on. So, don’t be swayed by the gift and tell me your opinion.”   At this point, Chae Yoo-jeong couldn’t help but become suspicious. Chae Yoo-jeong looked at Yoo Ji-han’s stern expression for a moment, even feeling the tension, and then nodded his head.   “Alright.”   “Good.”   Yoo Ji-han took a short breath, composed himself, and immediately opened his mouth.   “Yoo-jeong-ah, we drank together last Sunday.”   “We did.”   “Then d… Do you remember crying?”   “Ah.”   Only after hearing those words did Chae Yoo-jeong understand what Yoo Ji-han was trying to say. Chae Yoo-jeong, who glanced at him, lowered the corners of his eyes, and apologized sullenly.   “Sorry.”   “At the time… Uh, what?”   “Sorry. I was so drunk that I couldn’t control my emotions and cried.”   “No, why are you apologizing for that?”   When Yoo Ji-han questioned with an expression of astonishment, Chae Yoo-jeong was equally embarrassed.   Isn’t this it? But it would be right to apologize. Chae Yoo-jeong wondered if he had made a mistake, so he quickly added an explanation.   “Actually, I tried to apologize for what happened when I met Hyung. I broke the mood by getting too drunk and crying. I’m so sorry too...……………”   “No no. wait a sec.”   Yoo Ji-han, whose expression was even more determined than before, pointed to his forehead and covered Chae Yoo-jeong’s mouth.   “Please, Yoo-jeong-ah. I’m not here to find fault with you.”   “But………………”   “You didn’t do anything wrong. The problem is me in that situation. I don’t know if you feel burdened by skinship, but I..….”   “What? Hyung, wait a minute.”   This time, Chae Yoo-jeong was surprised and stopped Yoo Ji-han.   “What do you mean? Are you saying I find skinship burdensome? I’ve never felt burdened before!”   “What? But then you… You cried.”   Chae Yoo-jeong experienced being speechless for the first time in a long time. Seeing Chae Yoo-jeong astonished with his mouth open, Yoo Ji-han seemed to be misunderstanding something, and held his shoulder with a gentle expression.   “Yoo-jeong-ah, this is not a problem that you can say no to without paying attention to myself. Even if you find skinship difficult, I have no intention of breaking up and I can fully understand. So, please tell me honestly.”    “No… Hyung, I really……”   “This is your first time being in a relationship. I should have taken that into consideration, but I think I acted a little hastily.”   The more Yoo Ji-han spoke, the more Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes narrowed. Chae Yoo-jeong looked at Yoo Ji-han with his brows slightly furrowed, with a deep look of dissatisfaction.   “From now on, let’s do skinship whenever you want… Ugh.”   In the end, Chae Yoo-jeong, who could no longer bear it, lowered his head, and kissed him before Yoo Ji-han could even finish his sentence. When he suddenly started kissing Yoo Ji-han, his eyes widened.   Chae Yoo-jeong started the kiss first, and his kiss was very rough. In front of Yoo Ji-han, he could not help but recall Chae Yoo-jeong’s always gentle personality.   Unlike Yoo Ji-han’s kiss, which focused on his strength, control, and pleasure, Chae Yoo-jeong’s kiss was very urgent, like someone who had starved for several days. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was kissing Yoo Ji-han while tightly hugging his waist, kissed his lips a few times as he had learned from Yoo Ji-han, then took his lips away.   “I never lied. I never lied to Hyung.”   “…….”   “The reason I cried at that time was because I was truly so happy. I had dreams of sleeping with Hyung countless times. How could I feel burdened by skinship like that? I feel like I’m going crazy because I’m so happy right now.”   Yoo Ji-han, who was quietly listening to Chae Yoo-jeong, laughed. Then the lower body was brought closer together.   “Okay. I guess I misunderstood.”   “……!”   “You’re hard down there, Yoo-jeong-ah.”   Yoo Ji-han kissed Chae Yoo-jeong’s reddened cheek, conscious of the feel of his semi-erect penis clearly felt through his training pants.   “If skinship is definitely burdensome, I couldn’t make it happen with just one kiss.”   “Hyung……….”   When Yoo Ji-han wedged his thigh tightly on Chae Yoo-jeong’s genitals, Chae Yoo-jeong began to tremble and become even more restless.   Yoo Ji-han, who giggled and laughed at his raw reaction, pressed his lips on Chae Yoo-jeong’s lips again, as if stamping them, without moving his thigh away.   “Are you going to sleep with me?”   “…….”   “Hyung, are you coming after washing up?”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who heard the last whisper, closed his eyes tightly with an expression that said he couldn’t hold out any longer. Then, after a while, he answered with difficulty in an exceptionally deep voice.   “I’ll wait... so go wash up quickly.”   ***     HM: no wonder people told me to not expect much from +19 side stories…. There’s not going to be many scenes after this.
