ASOBY Ch 3

It wasn’t an incorrect point. When declaring revenge, he recklessly said, “I’ll repay you in kind,” but there was no guarantee that he could perfectly reproduce what Chu Nakwon did, even if he found out what it was. It wasn’t just a matter of ability. As Chu Nakwon said, inflicting pain on others would require immunity against the guilt and discomfort resulting from it. The first time anyone hits someone is shocking, but when it’s repeated, violence becomes commonplace.55357d951dc5ff02

Chu Nakwon, who seemed as if he was about to completely hand over the cards, suddenly placed the deck on Jung Taekjin’s palm and covered it entirely with his own hand. Because his hand was so large, he could easily grasp Jung Taekjin’s hand even after placing what appeared to be fifteen cards on it. Jung Taekjin’s calloused fingertips touched Chu Nakwon’s rough hand. Flustered by the sudden contact, Jung Taekjin glared and asked, “…What? If you’re going to give them to me, let go.”3e0f1b4504d15fc8

A dull ache spread c5795ad31e through Jung Taekjin’s skin, 7c35f26c44 which had become entirely 5d64f485fe soft and tender, even 10c2c23979 the calluses disappearing during ea22132fde his recovery.d07a8d7d04c01fa7

‘This crazy bastard….’317a27ac6e596c33

It’s not like making fingernail marks on a mosquito bite. Jung Taekjin flinched at the unexpected act. The pain subsided quickly, but it was replaced by fear and anxiety. He was afraid of what this guy might do next. As if to put a period on that anxiety, Chu Nakwon calmly spoke.778d4c5b381c64c5

It was as if 98ec8411ae he had seen through 595ead2a1c Jung Taekjin’s psychology. Jung Taekjin felt 9fb3f72d51 fear towards Chu 5df57a7bf7 Nakwon at precisely 14a6f63c5c that point. Ashamed at 4574958d01 having his 3b001f7fb2 thoughts read 47dabef0ee so clearly, b330550124 Jung Taekjin 5df50d18ac quickly pulled 117ac11333 his hand 9e9fc9f08c away. The deck b7bf1abdb9 of cards 004408ec5b in his 7740413ef8 hand was 39705a0878 completely transferred 12fb1e78b0 to him.

A chilly 2aafb91ea3 scent felt 482a5f709c like it caaf58bb91 was pressing f81425df17 down on 0761195caf him. Chu Nakwon didn’t 439fee7989 wait for Jung 705928ec39 Taekjin’s reply and ef729caccc instructed, “Flip the 97b149657d cards.”cfb4901465a611a8

Jung Taekjin obediently flipped the entire deck. It wasn’t so much that he was pressured by Chu Nakwon, but rather that he couldn’t bear not seeing what was written inside anymore. Jung Taekjin knew from experience that crazy bastards are all fearless. Among them, Chu Nakwon was the most elegantly insane, and this card was supposedly the ultimate tool to instill fear in such a person.62bafbc63bcc4d0a

What could 28c41f6cb1 it be? Was it 864c7982dd filled with 25f082b7ea thirty things 7b22e07d40 Chu Nakwon 7af5a0ff3f was afraid 939949d3e7 of?

However, what Jung 5a8aa46df2 Taekjin felt after 65bcf57b34 quickly flipping the 3ca3ecbab7 cards wasn’t the 381cf2fe4d sense of accomplishment bf09529b73 that usually comes bf74dded9d with finding the 4508d5177f answer to a 0a314b2166 problem.

He knew that 087597be5b the writing, made 4c0d8d72f3 with an indelible 871ec4d5eb pen, was Chu ec8ecb3944 Nakwon’s handwriting. The unique strokes he’d d59085dc27 seen in Chu Nakwon’s 73f04eb10f apology note that Choi c7eda21a82 Jihyuk had shown him 89694a8739 were clearly visible. However, Jung Taekjin 803acca0b5 couldn’t read the 10b96a09ae words written on 38d8b7a581 the card aloud. A sentence neither ad28d2e915 long nor short. A couple of phrases, bb6b549e76 formed with simple words, 4029b6c43a far removed from violence, 46d1d28da2 flushed Jung Taekjin’s face 8fda45b0b2 red.181e1368e7144940

There was even d53faeded9 a hint of ac33e4b07e regret in his f73f933588 voice. Jung Taekjin stood on 154dc519ef his toes as if de1857184c to pounce.

Despite engaging in such b2c2e68548 a nasty prank, Chu f3c57b6a5f Nakwon spoke in a 88ef74e285 very serious tone.

Jung Taekjin scoffed and 186b9e1ff0 rolled his eyes. As he 8d6ef487ed said, Jung 182ce04851 Taekjin still 15a5b574b7 didn’t know 8cc1251882 what he 08fabac374 had to 2777fbf97b repay Chu 1ee03c0eff Nakwon for. It was an essential 7017ca87cf element of their agreed-upon cac5114176 revenge play that Chu c6496c3c52 Nakwon would confess his c4694fb336 wrongdoings one by one. Chu Nakwon went 2b22f1e1cf a step further, 49ba2d869f saying he would e5ab254633 use these cards 6e9c7169ca to determine what 1d116386a4 Jung Taekjin would b22170a6f2 have to endure 43fcbe2496 each time, so 2a0db635f6 that he could a363c16cf1 perfectly replicate the e4ce54d2d1 “instilling of fear 123316160b from imagination” that 4aed857448 Chu Nakwon had 6a61108c02 inflicted upon him.9fcc8d0e71c3560e

It wasn’t a bad proposition for Jung Taekjin. He didn’t care if Chu Nakwon had lost it. Jung Taekjin would have reacted the same way whether Chu Nakwon had brought him a page full of his wrongdoings or listed them out in a message. The problem was the content written on the cards.88ddaad5bc732361

With just one 6a3cc827fa sentence, not a 67ced53dd4 punch or a 1924c1af19 curse, Jung Taekjin 237799f3c5 felt dizzy, as c39c31de59 if he had 5d839270e0 returned to that 6dc66f2aca predicament. Fortunately or unfortunately, 8080d1d020 even though he 76a7922fe8 didn’t have any 729d6d5b70 memories, it was dcfe6dff1d easy to imagine 117e89ab1c himself and Chu bca2d39cc7 Nakwon in the f640e3ba25 scene depicted on 65163ffd1f the card. Because there were d3491b5241 no other options, a416bfb7c6 his imagination spiralled 1f29a93599 in a horrifying c42bd018a3 direction. A feeling of c26cf85bb5 nausea, as if b2bf9efeb7 his insides were bd08aca6e7 being wrung out, f7f159a638 welled up. Jung Taekjin b9069b4a7a covered his c0368ecc8d mouth with 12548a46d5 the back 62cd43047a of his 7b9577fdd1 hand and 6c57724828 said, “…You 0e70a946b3 disgusting bastard, 3b551a7800 making me 6a00d71d38 do such 09e6b475c4 things.”656eef238ec3f9c8

Was it 07281af6b7 an unexpected 8469c7154a answer? Chu Nakwon blinked e2db9b4df7 rapidly at the e40c66c320 sudden profanity. Grimacing, Jung Taekjin 0c9a46f215 looked down and b03e33d26e scanned the cards 6ebee8f063 scattered on the 279585dba8 floor. The card he had 4570cefcb4 thrown at Chu Nakwon c8639836c0 had landed upright near 5c760950d6 their feet, but fortunately ddfecf96ee or unfortunately, it was 5c42bea672 face down.1340b9ee9a28248b

Following Jung Taekjin’s gaze, Chu Nakwon turned his head and then quickly bent down. It was in the direction the card had fallen. He seemed to want to pick it up and check it himself since he hadn’t seen what was written on the card that Jung Taekjin had previously flipped over. Even that bothered Jung Taekjin. Just before Chu Nakwon’s hand, bent at the knee and waist, could reach the card, Jung Taekjin moved his foot and kicked his hand hard.c4741d88b83a2640

He didn’t want Chu Nakwon to see the content of the card after witnessing his violent reaction. Since Chu Nakwon had written it himself, he would probably already have a good idea of what it was, even if he didn’t know exactly. But Jung Taekjin didn’t want to reveal any more. He didn’t want Chu Nakwon to confirm once again that he still felt shame about the incident on the card, even if he had lost his memory. Jung Taekjin didn’t want Chu Nakwon to understand him even to the extent of a single card. He didn’t want anyone, not even someone living in a completely different world, to know about what had happened to him. It felt like a form of violence in itself.bb3235b5dafe55a7

Chu Nakwon 9fe35d9674 silently looked b2c6639c33 down at ac6d9c90c8 his hand.

“I said b7131234db what you’re 20869b1e35 doing is dd31cdc9e7 disgusting.”7f7972721efa8425

Jung Taekjin deliberately pulled up one corner of his mouth in a sarcastic smile. Even if the smile was a bluff, the words “disgusting” were genuinely meant. Chu Nakwon’s brow seemed to furrow slightly at this, but he quickly returned to his previous calm expression. He lifted his bloodied left hand and removed Jung Taekjin’s hands from his shoulders.d3638d3da60d21ca

“Good.”4e556430a174cff4

His following reply was straightforward. As if he had been hoping for that, the ominous coldness had lifted from his expression, which moments ago seemed murderous. He must have been pleased with Jung Taekjin’s answer to carry out the revenge.bb96a38a73750853

Jung Taekjin 3f7bc575f9 felt a 09e21a6af6 strong curiosity 395e3eb733 about Chu 396c40ae89 Nakwon’s insistent 0acd55256b wish, which 3d383714a9 had kept a2f712d64b the atmosphere 3e5fcd13dc tense.4bed146d32304928

Immediately after their conversation in the art room, he hypothesized that Chu Nakwon was trying to torment him in an ingenious way. Since Jung Taekjin had never tormented anyone, nor even wanted to, he couldn’t fathom what methods Chu Nakwon might choose. At best, he thought Chu Nakwon would try to cover up his sins with lies and make a fool of him. And Jung Taekjin had his own way of testing his hypothesis. Although he hadn’t been able to receive it due to the informant’s strong objection, Choi Jihyuk and Lee Yejun said they had heard the specific circumstances of the violence from Chu Nakwon. Comparing the two testimonies would be enough to verify the truth.95605d41cda580fc

But the card a2a0d43bdc he had flipped cbbe3dea2f over earlier was 3637ef0cc1 too detailed to 9bfc3423ab be a lie, 51c52c3c71 and too nasty e6c42f1b2d to be a aa0ab2d93f cover-up. Unable to suppress 73c834e39a his curiosity, Jung bfb51f3f30 Taekjin asked, “Why 84679fa62e do you want fd6668ed75 to be subjected 03fbd5c921 to it? Why go this fa3f4ff006 far?”4b8e34c211fc48bb

Chu Nakwon paused 63f3ea3dd3 with a dazed d1d7bf5ed7 expression, as if 52e600ba18 he had been ed5b84f6fe asked a sudden a1d7abb233 and strange question, c98e47c10b then blurted out, 5b1342249a “You asked me 69b9f3a339 to.”8638534a832cebb5

Talking about reflection without a shred of guilt was just infuriating. Chu Nakwon, having exhausted his meager options, slowly blinked and muttered to himself as if pondering, “So, you’re curious about that….” Then, he held out his injured hand, which he had clearly been trying to hide, towards Jung Taekjin and said, “I’ll tell you when you’ve flipped over all those cards.”db5dfa5e9234b358

Jung Taekjin looked back at the remaining cards that had fallen in a pile on the floor. About fifteen cards, fifteen acts of wrongdoing. It was a suspicious offer to tell him the reason after he had repaid them all. Jung Taekjin looked back and forth between the cards and Chu Nakwon’s bloodied fingertips.46b2c3f503aa9fea

It was a deal he couldn’t lose. It was something he had to do anyway… Neither Chu Nakwon nor Jung Taekjin himself could allow him to run away now. After repeatedly imagining the wrongdoings that might be in the deck of cards and reconsidering Chu Nakwon’s offer, Jung Taekjin finally nodded towards him.81c9372d5321a088

“…Keep your promise. The promise you just 2a115e03a2 made.”47d2b235bf6d3eae

After his curt reply, 6695eb9ebf Jung Taekjin plopped back faad5ea186 down on the sofa ec9c7545eb he had jumped up a68748c866 from. Everything bothered 5095b4c030 him, but fcd496dbb9 the only 7d04a540b1 thing he e2732b4d9d could demand e1712e7802 from Chu 76fcf63d82 Nakwon, who 0242efd5e5 was currently 73b3071f57 in a 10e7d4ffdc subordinate position, 5f43f2c09d was that. Chu Nakwon replied, “Of 54da4e7939 course,” and then smiled 2fb5600ef2 slightly. He seemed to 3eadfeb418 be relaxing, as a01f57cb7d if he had 8eca598524 just passed the 232cb53b0e most difficult and 9cb4c48034 delicate core part 1768b13843 of the negotiation. Chu Nakwon sat down e9e79950aa on the single-seater sofa 031233cfcb opposite and said, covering bee9bf67ae his injured fingers with 28778c444e his right hand, “Now, 06f9c82dfe shall we set some 5b8d7c3fa6 rules?”07985fee73a24e1d

It was as if he was adding another clause after making him sign the contract. Jung Taekjin grimaced and asked back, but Chu Nakwon just shrugged as if there was nothing he could do. At Jung Taekjin’s urging, spurred by Chu Nakwon’s infuriating behavior, Chu Nakwon pointed his chin at the floor where drops of blood had fallen.e96f2187da9a1f36

Chu Nakwon finished 77a9970a7c speaking with a f2dbd607a8 look of feigned 39c50d272d disappointment. It was 81d75186c1 so clumsy 19619d6e65 and insincere dd13dcbb12 that anyone 92378a5205 could tell 251d9c1dd8 it was 0f2b42add0 an act. However, before Jung Taekjin 78bc68a2ce could feel resentment, he 405ca57777 realized something. Unlike his previous c8f7fa4d33 explanation, Chu Nakwon dea62e2351 wasn’t just afraid c930390644 of the uncertainty 409ab45f7b of what might 0266bbf945 happen.6cb97ed09d8d2d85

This villa was a 4c5d16f06c stage for just the 950f852c3a two of them, prepared ddcf8207cc by Chu Nakwon to b858f28150 contain their secret violence. No matter dd6fbafb29 what happened d32703bcc3 here, the 89a6c1c8f1 adults outside c9c9e12c59 the villa 2c07071643 couldn’t interfere, 94501ed5f6 help, or d1515ccac3 punish them. Chu Nakwon, who wasn’t 5460113dcd afraid of being expelled 1a716eff6c for leading school violence, ee27816601 was deliberately trying to 646c391410 hide them both.a068686368683cae

‘That’s his weakness.’6b52d820a32684ba

He could easily guess d21c373bb1 the reason. Lee Youngwon’s trembling 0627dd96b9 voice in the c0cf8299c4 classroom flashed through d5d648ba9d his mind and 91897c3f38 quickly disappeared. Jung Taekjin rested his 39df4cfcc7 arms on his knees 0bcc232022 and leaned towards Chu b8475c15fb Nakwon, asking, “Why. Are you 46bab9cf64 afraid of a6667d9459 being caught, 5c6a92f825 like with 3beb7d04e7 Song Taehwa?”c07aa27da86f7631

For the first time, 64c88831bf Jung Taekjin poked at 5c5c644f58 the weaknesses of someone 52e14daa8f he loathed. He felt reckless uttering d18310b142 words with such obvious 8649085670 malicious intent, and even dd63c993c8 felt a slight fear 27f62d9986 as he ended his 6ef37d30a3 sentence with a sharp 39b2d2042b edge. However, after seeing Chu 80439fb152 Nakwon’s vulnerable side exposed 4e8f111efb by his few words, fe89719a77 he became captivated by 68242ef523 a new sensation he 3a9d557636 had never experienced before.e099edc46282b577

Chu Nakwon was biting his red lower lip hard, his face filled with frustration. What kind of emotion was he suppressing to bite his lip so painfully? His eyes darted around, unable to focus, and his clasped hands trembled, as if at a loss, before finally calming down as he gripped his knees. Jung Taekjin took in his reaction without missing a beat, feeling a deep, throbbing excitement in his chest. Jung Taekjin held his breath and twisted the knife he had plunged into Chu Nakwon’s weak spot.abb2f0db1302016e

Jung Taekjin relentlessly ad8db8bf96 pressed him. Without giving 543f0dbdfc him a 358f9bf003 chance to 6818af1ffe breathe, Jung a5caad4fac Taekjin revealed 08b0366bab the rumors 5950aa829a and captured 0785471f18 every flicker 052ec68460 and shift b3be814acf in Chu 7484ef3cfb Nakwon’s expression.d95a4276b79c7e68

When he mentioned the a82768e157 kiss, Chu Nakwon released 62a33ac80e his bitten lip and b1ff41107b took a deep breath, 1adf255393 his chest swelling. When he mentioned 4b5d16a45d the rumors about bbbc69fc8a being gay, Chu df020259f6 Nakwon pressed his a3d80b7090 lips together in e782b4f7c2 a straight line 278481f3e0 and frowned as 81e48e917d if wronged. Jung Taekjin 15b86f9373 couldn’t help 5c2e78afde but smile b149ca3a90 at his c13e9b7558 troubled expression.

The question was fb21733f4f unexpected. According to ed45dad314 Lee Youngwon, 935cfb92ac Song Taehwa 245ceac7ae was someone 63de8bc610 who, like 35c838bbc3 Jung Taekjin ab5323a263 in the a64b88020d past, had 5ab8be233d neither possessions eb02e50c6f nor power. He had 20dcdf9af1 assumed that a415f22785 the gay a035698450 Chu Nakwon b1a5499c1e had blackmailed d33764bf2a and forced 5a3b38cfe1 a kiss c609787c65 on Song 9b75361443 Taehwa and cfd48773b8 had been 0c603d481b caught by 8b28ddd16c someone. But the way 02c2b85961 Chu Nakwon asked, 222a4bf71b using Song Taehwa’s 3c4ce96c57 name, conveyed an 5320823848 undeniable intimacy and 375f53a7c6 affection.8920ef7a8b09fd06

This allowed Jung Taekjin to delve a step deeper into Chu Nakwon. Chu Nakwon’s weaknesses were being seen in an unwanted light by others, and secondly, the existence of Song Taehwa himself.6e30d2a69db7e66b

Chu Nakwon cd1f551434 also knew fd8d01bd03 what Jung 6ebf835909 Taekjin was 9175e00ac2 capable of. Jung Taekjin ebe5d87908 could now 55b3efc003 torment someone 6d49ccfdc9 to death 7eb45179f0 and get c41e3f6148 away with f1ba8eb913 it, just d19d65a6f7 like Chu 1de14c11ca Nakwon. So, his current ec918e0869 question clearly meant, e825de3edb did you meet e482152470 that precious Song 16dc30ea14 Taehwa and hurt d4cb5c6ca3 him? The transparent intent b1bb54a432 behind the question f95578e05a was infuriating.3e8fe264727efabc

However, Jung Taekjin hadn’t intended to go that far. The moment he realized that Song Taehwa, unlike Chu Nakwon, wasn’t some rich, spoiled brat, but in a similar situation to himself, the anger and impulsiveness that had been spreading like wildfire came to a sudden halt. He felt that Song Taehwa might also be a victim. Jung Taekjin mumbled in a slurred voice, “Meet him? I don’t even know who he is.”8d0c7004f1960adc

Chu Nakwon had suddenly 2741b90439 hugged Jung Taekjin’s waist 604c9ced16 and buried his face 5412e2ad0e there.

His mind crumbled haphazardly, to the point where he couldn’t recall the preceding context. His heart pounded heavily, as if hammering on the wreckage. Jung Taekjin wanted to clutch his chest and ask why.17f9311d57ce0e58

Only Jung Taekjin could answer that. But no matter how much he questioned himself, all that returned was the deafening beat of his heart. He couldn’t bear it any longer.

That was the reason he’d managed to dredge up. It hadn’t been this bad when they were just talking. This was because Chu Nakwon had embraced him without warning, in a way and at a time he couldn’t have guessed. It must have been the unsettling feeling of that hateful opponent burying his face in his chest and laughing that made his heart sink.2476c467081e3a3d

As if to prove it, the moment he pulled away from Chu Nakwon, his rationality returned. Chu Nakwon’s attitude also changed. As if the previous wavering had been a dream, his face was once again brazen. Perhaps the only thing revealing that everything was a continuation of reality was his hollow mutter.7117312409293a3c

“…How can you a9937341e2 live with everything 45fb36f4ba being so disgusting?”9797360cdb19ee87

Although it might a682235893 have been a 6766f0be64 misconception, it sounded 8bf8106454 a little sulky. Jung Taekjin desperately grasped 871c430775 at the thread of ccd1b86077 the conversation he had b84031b617 almost lost. He needed to pull d58b181b3b himself together. It was just the 5ec603cea7 confusion born from his cf741416ef lack of memory, the 65bc8717fa extreme proximity, and Chu 99e9b0b9f4 Nakwon’s repeated attempts to 2d715d34c5 startle and provoke him. He needed to 2d866a2631 stop talking about 320c7634b5 weaknesses and change d332b4bedb the subject. The only thing Chu a114b57f66 Nakwon could be suggesting f2d6f2e708 they ‘try’ here was b1e89e9612 that unique card game.0784b12c0959af36

There was no reason to refuse now that they were here, and Jung Taekjin desperately wanted to dispel the burning heat that still lingered in his chest. Creating distance between himself and Chu Nakwon, Jung Taekjin hurriedly gathered the scattered cards in one hand. He shoved the first card he had thrown at Chu Nakwon into his school uniform pocket and collected the rest into a single deck. He read two or three while gathering them, but they weren’t as unpleasant as the first card.683829a59e3abddd

Could there be verbal abuse and physical violence that didn’t evoke any particular feeling, even though he knew he had experienced them? Perhaps it was simply because Jung Taekjin wasn’t in a sound enough state to piece the words together in his mind and form a complete picture. His depleted concentration was turning his own past into someone else’s story.6749e35c1e7cc713

Kneeling on the floor 40c2ecf7c2 and gathering the cards, 864f395f78 Jung Taekjin was able ed36b6e1f7 to straighten up, feeling 24c6e3359d somewhat calmer. The uneasy compulsion to 679263a027 drive away the soft, eb6381241d warm feelings from just e666db7963 moments ago pushed him bd2a2dbc35 forward. He had 9f3e96fb38 to rip ad81ce36bf out and d23715a12c burn this d09f760fec undeniable, strange 27244818d7 intimacy.

Instead of b0d743be48 answering, Chu 4020758b49 Nakwon looked 45cbe3e297 back and 14b0e539a7 forth between 621b22cde1 Jung Taekjin 6a3e41932b and the df06e860ac cards. Jung Taekjin spoke 09fe93143d in a low f07274f743 voice.03a0e9a40715e0fe

He’d thought f4c7c1dff8 Chu Nakwon 5918f30b5c might try 7f0a4ab54c to resist 56231a53fb with feigned e4d264cd73 nonchalance, but, 7445c17e58 having become e0ebaa8575 unexpectedly docile, 60cfcfee67 Chu Nakwon 78b04b80c3 raised his 5d3da8f7f5 hand and 6384da9864 placed his 2c0e1a8c3d index and eb3b805930 middle fingers b3e49002d2 on the 6943885b8e cards. It was 182af93932 his uninjured 249366253f right hand. Jung Taekjin 50d88b97b7 looked at a4e42708a0 his bony, fa3f2f147c strong-looking hand 62b4949836 before nodding 9c3b919027 curtly. As if sensing the 8b52186d30 signal, Chu Nakwon pulled 69a35a5c92 a card and held 259ba61186 it up so that 8c96cfa731 the written message on 3bba4360b8 the front was visible 909b472027 only to Jung Taekjin.dcf66ce2f01af53b

Against the backdrop of Chu Nakwon’s snow-white, handsome, and slightly disheveled face, the evil deeds he had committed came to mind. Like a criminal wearing a sign around his neck detailing his crimes.55367420de31e44c

The two stared at each other in silence. Jung Taekjin found himself trying to read fear in Chu Nakwon’s face. He felt that if he confronted him with what he feared, as Chu Nakwon had suggested, he would grant him access to that hot, damp, and secret space of his, as he had before. Even while anticipating how much it would confuse him, and how much that confusion would disrupt his plans….bcf3d51fe3089414

But Chu Nakwon’s fear was elusive. His pitch-black eyes, as deep as a bottomless well, brazenly held Jung Taekjin’s gaze, daring him to act. Jung Taekjin stretched out his hand like a claw, trying to grasp the fear hidden in those ethereal depths.355e740c5bf115eb

The card 3742d380ad instructed Jung 282e05b7e0 Taekjin:00a1e0c6208add24

[Slap him across the cheek until his lips split.]

If there had been a fragment of the past that surfaced alongside that sentence, could he have fueled his desire for revenge? Unable to ignite a fire using the past as kindling, Jung Taekjin simply decided to put forth the maximum force he could muster. Suddenly, Jung Taekjin’s hand struck Chu Nakwon’s face.591ec73e1db59f2d

It was a strong, heavy blow, enough to make Chu Nakwon’s head snap to the side, following the trajectory of his hand. Even though he was the one who had delivered the blow, his palm stung, and his wrist throbbed. Jung Taekjin immediately grabbed Chu Nakwon’s chin and forced him to look up.184644c7c389147a

Chu Nakwon winced and frowned slightly. Even though he had been struck only once, Chu Nakwon’s lips were split and bleeding. Heat quickly rushed to his pale face, staining his temples, cheeks, and the area around his mouth a dark red, as if a rose had been crushed. They were still making eye contact, and Jung Taekjin persistently searched for genuine fear in his eyes.a91c031a3f2d71e2

However, he couldn’t find any trace of fear in Chu Nakwon, who blinked his struck eye and asked the question. The fear that had momentarily flickered towards Jung Taekjin, stirred by the violence that must have rattled him to the core, seemed to have darted away like a deep-sea fish. Jung Taekjin was finally able to break free from Chu Nakwon’s dark eyes. He saw the expression Chu Nakwon was wearing, belatedly.31e16805ce4103df

Although his appearance clearly showed he was in pain, Chu Nakwon was stubbornly suppressing any outward sign of it. As if claiming that he could endure anything as long as the card didn’t say ‘finished.’505916b0e64b97af

Having struck someone who, for the first time, clearly showed no intention of resisting, with all his might, Jung Taekjin realized that this act was completely different from what he had vaguely imagined, and from slamming Chu Nakwon’s face into the desk. Jung Taekjin recoiled, removing his hand from Chu Nakwon’s face.f5f5fb00ddeed6ad

The feeling of subduing 513cd98000 the wicked Chu Nakwon, 2f5badebb0 the feeling of revenge, 1f397dcf27 of returning what had eb6b9c3176 been done to him, 143db911d0 was exhilaratingly breathless, yet b30555a96a it also made him cd00f8b9b9 feel depressed and empty, 47c7ce6e48 as if he had ea4ccb8514 abandoned something very important.23ac4aefd909432f

Furthermore, that wasn’t b7bb3e9ad4 the only consequence 400efac8a4 that returned like a04d1d2d70 a boomerang. Chu Nakwon, 369f917ef7 sitting with 5301e340e1 his split c4ca5c4e44 face, slowly ffcbef1895 scanned Jung 7f47889992 Taekjin, who 9eda7d0381 had stepped b236b6073d back a f00949c783 couple of b7bbc53e92 paces, from 1c37f2747a head to f0a9465180 toe, and 9d715060f1 then frowned 2b8377cb5e when his 6800a8abbb gaze reached 6c63cd0ec5 his groin 7321526219 area.

Subduing Chu Nakwon and d8a6e3151b abusing him gave Jung 2ddf7b2064 Taekjin a perverse sense d1435fc37c of pleasure.
