“It hurts if you get hit in the groin, right?”8fbe4880f7fc14d6

Kwon Hyeongdo seemed to have 72b7bfe8d8 the same thought. It hurt his 43ecef8929 pride to think 85beb07321 he was on 958e9e5204 the same level f311da2e6c as that guy.ff7572909fb7d6a1

“Right? It hurts, doesn’t it?”730a8867fa35ae05

The problem was that Kwon Hyeongdo’s nonsense didn’t stop there.72be4cd3e51ede81

Seon Ijin glared at Kwon Hyeongdo like crazy at the sound of him scratching his head. Then he suddenly stood up. Kwon Hyeongdo chuckled and tugged at Ijin’s arm.940e720f4e328f28

“Maybe for you. Does it hurt? If you’re curious, why don’t you try getting hit?”5e304f865f98b159

Ijin tried to shake off his hand roughly, but Kwon Hyeongdo just tilted his head to avoid it and didn’t let go of his grip. Jang Munyong, who was watching the two alternately, slammed the table with his big palm. Startled by the sound, Ijin reflexively curled up, even though it wasn’t painful enough to make him stand up.7b5f971fa58d093c

Words he couldn’t understand. But the unpleasant and sticky feeling clearly directed at him made Ijin slowly turn his head to look at Jang Munyong. Jang Munyong crossed his thick arms tightly and clicked his tongue.9a30613671b0bf5c

Ijin finally spoke up long after getting into Kwon Hyeongdo’s car after leaving Trevi. He wasn’t shocked by Kwon Hyeongdo’s answer since he had a rough idea of what it would be, but it was enough to make his mood plummet.0366db82f805bf5f

However, Ijin’s mood wasn’t Kwon Hyeongdo’s concern. Kwon Hyeongdo’s mind was racing. He licked his lips, still tasting the strong nicotine, as he thought about Incheon, Trevi, and the Colosseum.7774ec0f75e06c06

Executive Director Ma didn’t like the Colosseum. He thought it wasn’t profitable. He believed Chairman Choi wanted to turn the Colosseum into some kind of gangster art project. Because of that, Executive Director Ma’s influence didn’t reach the Colosseum. Or so he thought.af8701542b1d1e3e

Trevi was out of the question. The relationship between Jang Munyong and Executive Director Ma was terrible. That left Incheon, but Kwon Hyeongdo didn’t have any connections there. Should he plant one? Who should he plant? Damn, he hated this kind of hassle.72eec37514eddafe

“Why am I being picked? Huh? I gave you the spot, didn’t I? But now you’re turning it back on me?”2b4ed8a776eded2d

The chance that it started at Trevi was greatly reduced by today’s conversation. Jang Munyong genuinely seemed unaware. And even if he was pretending, knowing about Madam Ju’s involvement meant it wouldn’t go as Jang Munyong wanted.af06e3b00a3bcae9

So it had 8680192501 to be someone 1884cc8651 inside the Colosseum. Was it the team 9ad8e0033c leader nicknamed Ppochi, who 0d7152df51 was so obsessed with abc2aed981 money that even small ae429892e0 change made his eyes d47aa2c3da light up?1027afa63e46199b

“Be quiet. Hey, I’m working right now. I’m thinking. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, should I give you something to bite on?”56829f9912cc0d69

The small face in his hand was warm. It was just annoying, not that he was genuinely angry. The warmth made Kwon Hyeongdo think about Ijin’s body, and it eased his mood.a6f00be4b6cdd66e

Should he really let him bite? Kwon Hyeongdo parked the car on the roadside while playing with Ijin’s face. By now, the sun had set, and the neon signs flashing “24-hour service available” and “Hot service available” flickered over their faces.7cef40aff6a36f65

Even after parking, Kwon Hyeongdo kept playing with Ijin’s warmth. Because of his grip, Ijin was almost suffocating. His breathing became labored, and his lips were wet, making Kwon Hyeongdo’s palm damp as well.3c7ab1521ac4dcb8

Kwon Hyeongdo wiped his dcfc0609a1 palm on his pants f7b2e41094 and took out a f40082f7f7 cigarette. It was an bc39f4b855 American brand he be0a0879cf got from Jang d9fcfaa1c9 Munyong. He casually tossed an American 421065c8bd condom that came out of 1f5ee033e4 his pocket into the console ab6bb1de49 box, making Ijin flinch and ef721924c5 close his mouth.7684ebad761e20ae

Kwon Hyeongdo lit two cigarettes 3e6ebd9f94 at once and handed one 322d316711 to Ijin. Caught off guard, Ijin took 757478c364 a drag, but it was 59f1b6c046 noticeably different from what he b5c98448d8 had smoked before. Despite coughing heavily, bd856dae27 he stubbornly took 685f4d6684 another drag. His head spun, and his f81ffef965 throat felt like it had 922a9cf067 been punched.a777f44a665ba70d

Kwon Hyeongdo quietly 2a011818b9 smoked with the a735b3db78 window open and 63cdd2629f then drove back 4eb765b7a5 to the Colosseum. About two minutes before 9733024539 they arrived, Kwon Hyeongdo 8cd60c6690 spoke.8208ba374b18ffe1

“I figured it out when I saw him enjoying the fried chicken.”d2b16fa73acc662e

The guys high on drugs weren’t hungry. They weren’t sleepy either. The fried chicken was left untouched, but the ‘salt’ was all gone. Kwon Hyeongdo found Ijin quite admirable in many ways. Ijin had become an excellent bait. Even without seasoning, he looked appetizing, and with seasoning, he looked even more so.6d897ef30a482455
