CU Ch 1.1

Jaejun’s mother passed away a year ago, right after he obtained his specialist certification. His mother, who had worked tirelessly from dawn till late at night to make her son a doctor, hadn’t even realized her own body was being consumed by illness. Two months before his specialist exam, she collapsed at work and was rushed to the hospital. The diagnosis was terminal liver cancer. It was already too late to do anything.

Lying pale and dying in her hospital bed, his mother had two final wishes. One was to see Jaejun become a specialist, and the other was to see her “damn husband.” 

To Jaejun, his father was a good-for-nothing who abandoned his wife and child without a single word, a despicable being deserving of three days and nights of curses.

However, to to his mother, he seemed to have been a beloved husband. 

Why did she held such affection for the man who had made her suffer her entire life…?

After hearing the news of Jaejun’s passing the specialist exam, his mother smiled happily, but then murmured with a face full of longing, “I’m leaving without seeing your father after all.” That was the last he saw of her.

For about a month after the funeral, Jaejun was paralyzed by helplessness. The sense of loss from permanently losing his only family, his mother, and the guilt of not being able to fulfill one of her final wishes gnawed at his heart. His mother’s last gaze, filled with longing for his father, wouldn’t leave his mind. It was a bittersweet, heavy gaze, full of yearning.

Jaejun lived on alcohol instead of food, spending a month like a wreck before finally making up his mind. He would find his damned, rotten, not-even-worth-spitting-on father and force him to beg for forgiveness before his mother’s remains.

“That damn old man! Where the hell is he and what is he doing?!”

If he’d remarried, spawned a dozen kids, and was living the high life, Jaejun would castrate that bastard, father or not. He’d put his honed surgical skills to perfect use.

A year had passed since he embarked on his quest to find his wretched father with clenched teeeth. He’d made inquiries himself, searching high and low, and even hired a detective, but it was always in vain.

Jaejun glared at Kang Hyungkyu, who was chewing gum with a deep frown. The guy, oblivious to Jaejun’s contemptuous stare, was ogling the waitress’ shapely behind at the teahouse. His eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets. Jaejun clicked his tongue at him.

Hyungkyu, a self-proclaimed expert in finding people, had been disappointing Jaejun for a year now. He hadn’t graduated high school, but they’d attended the same school for a time, so there was a sense of loyalty between them. More importantly, he was cheaper than other detectives, which was why Jaejun hired him, but the results were far from satisfactory. Jaejun was starting to think about firing him and finding another detective.

He felt that every time they met, Jaejun found Kang Hyungkyu less and less trustworthy, especially now, when he was drooling over a woman’s ass. This is why they said you get what you pay for.

“Are you sure about this one?!”

Jaejun asked, lightly banging his fist on the table.

“Isn’t that girl totally hot?”

Hyungkyu asked, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and looking at Jaejun. Then, as if remembering something, he smacked his forehead. “Right. You’re the type who gets excited by a guy’s dick, not chicks. Like I always say, no matter how handsome you are and how nice your ass is, you’re definitely not my type. I’m not the least bit interested in a dude’s ass!”

Jaejun chuckled. The damn bastard was talking about others when he was the same.

“And like I always tell you, I’m not interested in guys with small dicks. Wouldn’t take it even if you offered.”

“Who’s got a small dick?! This bastard’s talking shit, not recognizing a real monster when he sees one!”

Hyungkyu snorted and spread his legs wide in a display as if to show off.

“I know your size, so don’t bullshit me….”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Jaejun stood up and looked down between Hyungkyu’s legs, his eyes widening. Contrary to his expectations, the crotch area was quite bulging.

‘This can’t be…’

He had already checked Hyungkyu’s size back in high school, and it was precisely a Korean average size. Not just Hyungkyu’s. Jaejun prided himself on having checked almost everyone’s size, as it was his hobby, and with a few exceptions, most were similar. This led Jaejun to lament the bleak future of Korea during his school days. Even the guys with bulky bodies were walking around with peppers between their legs – truly a tragedy. They should be sporting cucumbers, eggplants, or even pumpkins down there, not peppers.

Jaejun looked suspiciously at Hyungkyu, who raised his chin arrogantly as if asking, “See?”

“Did you get surgery?”

“Fuck, no way! As you can see, I’m delicate and I hate having knives near my body.”

“Then did you put in some kind of device to make your dick look bigger?”

“…….”

Judging by how quickly his face turned red, Jaejun must have hit the mark. Jaejun clicked his tongue.

“Trying hard, aren’t you? Just live as you are. Don’t deceive people by putting that kind of thing in your crotch.”

“De, deceiving who….”

“That’s exactly what you’re doing right now. Imagine how disappointed someone would be if they excitedly went to hook up, thinking it was real, only to see the actual size of your dick? Why don’t you get testicle implants instead? And don’t do it yourself, go to a clinic. I’ll introduce you to a good surgeon if you want.”

“Asshole.”

Hyungkyu, who had been spreading his thighs wide, drew them in and cursed at Jaejun. Undeterred, Jaejun continued his advice.

“And if you’re going to do it, get the biggest one. Bigger is better, you know? The bigger the dick, the better. Well, even the biggest implant won’t impress me, given your base size.”

“Fuck you, why should I impress you! And just how big do you want it to be anyway?”

“Hmm… about this much?”

Jaejun held up his forearm, and Hyungkyu made a grotesque face.

“Can you even call something that size a human dick? Does a human with that size even exist?”

Of course, they exist. A man named Kang Jugeon’s dick, for example. Jaejun sighed longingly, recalling the man whose crotch bulged noticeably even when flaccid.

“Yeah, they exist.”

“Don’t lie to me, you bastard. Could a guy with something that big even be human? Even a horse’s dick would be smaller.”

Hyungkyu held up his own forearm, vehemently denying Jaejun’s words.

“Why would I lie to you about something like that? I’m telling you, there’s a guy with a dick that size! I also just found out myself.”

Of course, saying it was the size of a grown man’s forearm was a bit of an exaggeration, but Kang Jugeon’s definitely was the biggest Jaejun had ever seen. Of course, it had now become a forbidden fruit, a fantasy cock, something he could never taste again.

At Jaejun’s confident words, Hyungkyu’s crumpled in humiliation.

“Is size all that matters? Technique is what’s important. Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘small peppers are spicier’?” 

Hyungkyu mumbled almost inaudibly and pulled out a cigarette.

“I don’t like spicy peppers, and no smoking indoors.”

“Fuck. Fuck you.”

“I already showed you my dick before.”

“Ugh, fuck, this crazy bastard.”

“Crazy bastard” was Jaejun’s nickname from school days, given for his occasional acts of madness despite his normal appearance. Just as Jaejun was about to react to the nickname he hadn’t heard in a while, Hyungkyu, whose face had been contorted, suddenly leaned in and whispered as if afraid someone might hear. 

“He’s here. That guy coming in now is the 58-year-old Kim Youngtae I investigated. He’s the teahouse madam’s kept man. But where the hell has this old man been all this time? It’s been a week, right?”

Jaejun quickly looked towards the entrance of the teahouse. A man in his fifties, who looked every bit the part of a kept man at first glance, was entering the teahouse with a broad smile. His hair was slicked back with oil, and while he was quite handsome, he wasn’t Jaejun’s father. 

Jaejun had had high hopes for this one, thinking that his father’s good looks and lack of financial stability would make him a perfect candidate for a teahouse madam’s kept man. But unfortunately, it was another miss.

Jaejun sighed quietly, got up, paid for the coffee, and left the teahouse.

“Not him again?”

Hyungkyu, who had hurriedly followed him out, looked back at the tea room, smacking his lips. He clearly had lingering regrets about the waitress with the fantastic ass.

“No.”

“How do you know just by glancing at him? You haven’t seen him for twenty years. Go back in and take a good, close look. Isn’t it a waste of the week you spent holed up in that teahouse?”

“No.”

“Come on, let’s go back in and…”

“You bastard, you just want to see the waitress again, don’t you?!”

Jaejun glared at Hyungkyu with narrowed eyes.

“If I say it’s not him, it’s not him! If you come up empty next time, you’re fired!”

Hyungkyu, who had shrunk back as if intimidated by Jaejun’s threat, cautiously gauged his mood and then quietly held out his hand.

“My fee.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

This money-grubbing bastard.

Grimacing, Jaejun pulled out the envelope he’d tucked away. He wanted to punch Hyungkyu a few times instead of paying him, considering the wasted effort, but he needed to pay the fee if he wanted the guy to keep searching for a potential father candidate. Thus, he couldn’t help it.

There goes the money he’d slaved away for two months covering shifts at his senior’s clinic.

Hyungkyu swiftly snatched the envelope, which Jaejun had reluctantly handed over with a trembling hand, spat out his chewing gum, and grinned.

“I’ll put it to good use. I’ll contact you if I find another candidate for your father. See ya.”

He turned and walked away, humming a tune.

I bet that bastard will use the money to get drunk and chase after women.

Jaejun watched Hyungkyu’s receding figure with distrust before turning and starting to walk.

This is absolutely the last time. If you fail again, you’re definitely fired. I’ll find another detective, even if it costs more.

He had come all the way down to Janghang, lured by Hyungkyu’s boast about finding a strong candidate for his father, and he’d spent a week holed up in a teahouse, only to end up with nothing. The longer he waited, the greater his expectations, and the greater his expectations, the greater his disappointment. He craved alcohol even though it was still broad daylight.

Jaejun bought a few bottles of soju from a hole-in-the-wall store that could hardly be called a supermarket and trudged towards his motel. Where should he go now? After paying Hyungkyu his expenses, the money he’d earned covering shifts at his senior’s clinic was almost gone. He’d be pretty broke after paying for the motel.

Since he had to travel all over the country looking for his father, getting a proper job was out of the question. So he’d been earning money by filling in at various hospitals, taking on temporary positions, working night shifts for a couple of months at a time, or taking any odd job he could find when things were tight. But it wasn’t a steady income, and most of the money he earned went towards searching for his father, leaving him perpetually strapped for cash.

Should he earn some money until he hears from Hyungkyu again? 

He should go back to Seoul and pester his seniors for some work.  Just as he thought that, Jaejun sighed deeply. What a mess his life had become. 

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

He was a highly sought-after doctor, with several established seniors offering him associate director positions and decent salaries to work with them, yet here he was, worrying about his bank balance… All he could do was sigh.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered giving up. But giving up wasn’t in Min Jaejun’s nature. He was nothing if not stubborn. He’d dropped out of high school, went to college through the GED and proudly earned his specialist license, all thanks to his sheer stubborn refusal to give up once he set his mind on something.

I’ll find him no matter what. I will find him and make him kneel before mother’s remains.

“Oh, right. Snacks!”

He only had bottled water in his motel room, and he’d mindlessly bought only soju. No matter how pathetic his situation was, he didn’t want to drink soju straight without any snacks. Figuring he needed at least a bag of chips to go with it, he was about to head back to the hole-in-the-wall store where he had bought the soju.

Just then, a large figure slipped into view, entering the inn where Jaejun was staying. It was an unusual physique for a neighborhood where there were more elderly people than young ones. The large build, enough to intimidate the faint of heart, looked familiar even though he’d only glimpsed it

‘Could it be?’

Kang Jugeon briefly came to mind. Jaejun soon chuckled and shook his head.There was no way that man would be here. He should be in Seoul right now. Perhaps he was even frantically searching for him in every corner of Seoul, grinding his teeth.

No, he definitely was.

Unlike the thugs Jaejun had dealt with in the past, Solgae was relatively polite. Moreover, they had even managed to have a decent conversation, but he was still a gangster. So, the characteristic traits of gangsters wouldn’t have disappeared.

‘If he catches me now, I’m dead.’

Maybe he shouldn’t have left that note. Regret washed over him, albeit too late. JJaejun bought the first bag of chips he could find at the store and came out, scratching his forehead. Regretting it now wouldn’t change anything. He wouldn’t be able to return to Seoul for a while.

Wait, didn’t Jaehyo say he opened a clinic in Daegu? Should he go to Daegu and stick with him for a bit and find some work?

‘Solgae… wasn’t that Kang Jugeon’s gangster name?’

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

He’d thought it then too when he first heard it, but it was a fitting nickname. It might seem mismatched, considering his size, but there was something hawk-like about his sharp eyes. And they were both predators.

“I wonder where Mr. Solgae is frantically searching for me now. His dick was truly a masterpiece. Where else am I going to find such a monster? If only you weren’t a gangster…”

Lost in thought, Jaejun entered the motel. Just then, a massive figure lunged at him with the agility of a panther, twisting his arm behind his back and slamming his forehead against the wall. The plastic bag in Jaejun’s hand fell, scattering the soju bottles and chips across the floor. 

A chilling fear gripped his neck, accompanied by excruciating pain as if his bones were shattering. A burning sensation and pain also emanated from his forehead where it had hit the wall, and he felt something warm trickling down – it was blood, probably.

It’s him.

Jaejun immediately knew who his attacker was. It had to be the gangster named Kang Jugeon. He never imagined he would be chased this far. He had clearly underestimated this man.

‘You idiot, Min Jaejun, why did you leave that damn note!’

Jaejun cursed himself, screaming internally.
