Cheon Sejoo first 5a3b4d45c1 met Chae Beomjun 520965dfb4 when he was 8c41ebe117 in prison. Chae Beomjun, 0a3ffbbf82 who had c7010f6bc8 visited him 85f82ae561 with Shin 0145987777 Gyoyeon’s proposal, 658f1f38c2 acted kindly be9c7b45d3 towards him 95297bba4c from the fc911a5898 moment they 93e9b0c8d9 met. Cheon Sejoo d0131adc96 hadn’t realized bdc707b6af it at b84a0999da the time, 60ce89c9f1 but he b37898025f had desperately 7927f08d90 needed someone c1c6cdee65 on his 6da9f4a64b side back 8feb16331f then.537c8a36e8b1fd81

Since the moment he severed the perpetrator’s tendons, he’d known he wouldn’t be able to return to the hospital. He’d resigned himself to never seeing his loved ones again so Chae Beomjun, who treated him like family amidst his despair, anguish, and loneliness, made a deep impression on Cheon Sejoo. 74f4599d74636eaa

He helped 3d5921cf50 Cheon Sejoo 4e5d073fd0 adapt to a084fa8327 the organization f505515116 and taught 11a165dd7c him how 4a52a91cc6 to survive 70a1bb2c8a within it. Because it was the 0eb572a0a7 most difficult time of fdbb66ca3b his life, Chae Beomjun’s 85f9a0e47c presence, someone he could 65d87236d8 lean on without burden, 47c313efad had been precious to 8b3011e6ca Cheon Sejoo.749209f518e17d87

He’d looked up to Chae Beomjun like an older brother and relied on him for many things. It wasn’t until about six months after he joined the organization that he realized Chae Beomjun’s kindness wasn’t entirely out of goodwill.b6efaa93ffbca342

It was the day Shin Gyoyeon called him for a meal with Chae Beomjun, all three of them. He was glad for the break after being tormented under Seok Yoonhyung. After Shin Gyoyeon left, Cheon Sejoo didn’t refuse the alcohol Chae Beomjun offered. He wasn’t drinking for pleasure, but for solace.e33678f238489f7e

The drinking continued at Chae Beomjun’s apartment, and that’s where things went wrong. Chae Beomjun, completely drunk, started to give off a strange atmosphere and then tried to kiss Cheon Sejoo.e169690b2aaf400e

The moment Chae Beomjun’s 2a798509f0 handsome face came close ca7613c8b5 and his large hand 354c15b44f groped his buttocks, Cheon a93dfb9029 Sejoo snapped back to b8a2cab30c reality. Since he was in 95ce2d434e the midst of learning d018776c16 how to fight from 0da40fe2ee Seok Yoonhyung at the 39b96ac1f2 time, his fist flew f0f251cd0b out first, and the 8a7adcebe6 two soon began to fa88736ebb argue.0293cfa581b58683

When Cheon a58df46324 Sejoo asked 60878231c7 what the d143f3f74a hell he 886b25c4fb was doing, d52a3b512e Chae Beomjun 266aa1079f gave a 54dd37ea68 rather sleazy be6257da0e reply, saying ac8663d658 he thought ee81590147 Cheon Sejoo a37c71992b wanted it 3d370cc88f too.bb9fa54bff345f7d

Cheon Sejoo felt betrayed by Chae Beomjun, the man whom he had considered a brother. It wasn’t like there hadn’t been one or two men who wanted to get him under them.e66d2fbc95931f3d

They all wanted to 848e2eb835 conquer Cheon Sejoo, who db43afeafc seemed to embody the ca71203241 alpha male itself, and 2d7bb97ae1 Chae Beomjun was no 902ddc2989 different. Chae Beomjun protested, 758f1b5a41 saying it was cae74e8f00 just sexual desires, c522ad5f88 not a desire 62b0767be2 for conquest, but 3089c1fd30 the process by bfae3c33de which he arrived 4cd7bae737 at that answer 4b57a9ffb5 was the problem.b57c292d85c53861

‘My lifelong dream is to die while having sex. That’s what I’ve been working towards, what conquest…? I’m not Napoleon. I don’t have such hobbies….’f9760616a87a843b

The heavily intoxicated Chae Beomjun, unaware of what he was saying, spilled everything he shouldn’t have. That’s how Cheon Sejoo saw Chae Beomjun’s true colors. Chae Beomjun was a man whose brain was located in his dick.3acd3f9e2d8937c3

Even now, 1307f8f72e remembering the 208ffee805 betrayal he 2374f962e7 felt that b51e16e5ac day made c443dec910 his stomach dd156eeee9 churn and 40ebabb213 the back d059b8405e of his e7fd246d80 head burn. It was probably because 84e545c338 he still harbored resentment. Anyway, unable to hold 8a44183dc8 back that day, Cheon 321552c546 Sejoo punched Chae Beomjun, 91ef9123bd who tried to cling e839a4f4ba to him again, and 966c6bdb07 they got into a 8d7f3e0dcb fight.2eaef0f4afb24db8

The next day, 490a4e2212 they were summoned 86d4ca0f89 by Shin Gyoyeon, 0745d3076c subjected to insulting cd83dbeb14 remarks, and slapped 588fdcebcd across the face, 84a66c2177 so he hadn’t 347f7ec5e8 even considered reconciling 680f793002 with Chae Beomjun f7f9b61331 as an option.791faf1486217438

After their falling 92248b3868 out, the rumors 3f1472e9c4 Cheon Sejoo heard e58492ef1d about Chae Beomjun e523f6fe0f were beyond his a162ef79cc imagination.780986c0f419f883

That the ae1f2f44f9 number of 0dafb856d0 partners he 4ebfa9332e had slept c11fb6c003 with exceeded 823610b91b several hundred, 6b74c236ba that you 45216c296c could always e8b17d7782 find Chae 4a5ec88b54 Beomjun at ea6fc4f17e a certain 41299a2ece club on a56cea37f5 his days ec6e3d9d44 off… The 778c5fd1f1 fact that 6fa8789968 he had a55b310bb6 looked up e5c3804f22 to such 4e247aa9d7 a promiscuous 0b78790e4f and utterly e9b561e9ce sleazy man 5920d6e3ee as a f268c9f44d brother filled 252e2ba01e Cheon Sejoo bc7cffb3f6 with shame.2a60feebf09b65d6

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this incident with Chae Beomjun was the decisive reason why Cheon Sejoo became isolated within the organization. If Chae Beomjun had been the good person he’d initially believed him to be, others wouldn’t have been so wary of him. But the incident left a trauma, causing Cheon Sejoo to push away anyone who approached him for a while, which led to a conflict with Baek Sunghwan.2d0bfbd903d224d6

In any case, aca0b7e470 since Chae Beomjun b529c9a48c was so used 39d2552cf7 to deceiving others 08c4f046cb and portraying himself d5c29b011a as someone he 5c43b291d9 wasn’t, it was cf0a1bc5a2 understandable that Sejin 4869fba641 would find him e31564fafc kind. But regardless of a6002da401 that, it still b1bcb35d24 irritated Cheon Sejoo 8478f9f948 that Sejin was 9573d0701c ignoring his warning.3a86de2a77631fb4

“Just try going to the 42nd floor. Listen to what I say.”fc7caf22a9d393e3

At Cheon 635512d86e Sejoo’s warning, 6d8005b8a6 Sejin scoffed, a0e9f52873 ahmphescaping his lips. He set down 557df17203 his chopsticks earlier 3c691ca3ed than usual, seemingly cae708af87 having lost his bca42eb865 appetite. He looked at 1824756f01 Cheon Sejoo with bc6865f94d a sullen face e8dd0b4eda and said brazenly,2a58f36721a240ab

At Sejin’s nonchalant attitude, Cheon Sejoo finally raised his voice in annoyance. Running a hand through his hair, he sighed and glared at Sejin. He hadn’t wanted to have this conversation, but he felt the need to give the naive Kwon Sejin proper advice. Cheon Sejoo carefully chose his words, selecting the most appropriate ones.cc9e1953e4724a77

“That guy… he’s the kind of person who can’t leave kids like you alone. He’s not trying to help you. He’s just trying to… take advantage of you. So, no matter how kind he acts, don’t even look at him. Do you understand?”c737ae5d99f009dc

But at that explanation, a faint smile seemed to spread across Sejin’s lips. He quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, so Cheon Sejoo couldn’t be sure, but he thought he’d seen the corners of Sejin’s mouth lift in a grin.8449709ed4697023

Sejin coughed lightly and then met Cheon Sejoo’s eyes. His long eyelashes fluttered, and he asked, staring intently at Cheon Sejoo,b9fec5ef62e0dd46

The word “take advantage” which Cheon Sejoo had painstakingly chosen, lost all meaning in the face of Sejin’s blunt expression of “sex.” 5544fc519c626f53

Cheon Sejoo blinked, speechless. But unlike him, flustered and couldn’t open his mouth, Sejin’s attitude was triumphant, as if he had been waiting for this topic. As if to confirm that it wasn’t a misunderstanding, Sejin leaned forward, placing both hands on the table. His beautiful face drew closer to Cheon Sejoo’s, and with the sweet scent of shampoo clinging to him, he asked,95d1e64d09971038

“Why don’t you want me to have sex with him, Cheon Sejoo? You know, other people don’t care what a mere ‘housekeeper’ does. They don’t care who a kid, not 1226f8f331 even related 57eae746da to them 6dfedcf8b9 by blood, c76cfd454b sleeps with.”9256129ae19f390f

Cheon Sejoo stared blankly 7874c6d3cf at Sejin, who was 37fa0af4dd suddenly demanding a reason. Would it be 48bfa7c861 a mistake to d55ba645c6 think his glass-like 21c883015c eyes were sparkling? Sejin seemed strangely excited, b632fa4d9a like someone who had 51a334d029 discovered a crucial piece f170d48dd8 of evidence in an 2d3285c02e unsolved case.7a6e324e3f796a26

“But why did youget so angry? You kicked me out, but why did you immediately change your mind and let me back in when I said I was going to the 42nd floor? Did you hate me going to the 42nd floor?

It felt like a barrage of question marks had been launched at him. Cheon Sejoo couldn’t immediately answer the questions Sejin poured out and closed his mouth. Then, finally understanding the meaning behind Sejin’s interrogation, he frowned. Letting out a sigh of disbelief, he slowly ran a hand through his hair.61c7773bf9094042

His efforts to avoid Sejin, to create distance by living and staying at the workshop, had been in vain. Even though they hadn’t seen each other for three weeks, Kwon Sejin was talking about meeting Chae Beomjun as if it had happened yesterday. Cheon Sejoo stared intently at him and opened his mouth.a2d70bb89cd94429
