BBK Ch 10

It was 15d5975ca5 a 30-minute b05d67c4da drive, but 0fbf487fd6 the roads b3a35be5e3 were deserted, 18ef9b70a7 probably because 28979376cf it was e6ac715e00 past midnight. Thanks to 21d9dcebc4 this, Minho 3e79f73993 arrived at 9debcfcf60 his destination dcc7ebc840 in less 06d14ea9b7 than 20 692a9c1866 minutes and 474a344ac5 quickly punched 17dd35b0c3 in the 791c4022fe key code.75c6cbdc7dcbdec5

The smell 0126136c28 of savory 82c021056f pizza wafted 41c459b0a2 out as 4d5d220923 he flung 3d3beca27b the door f1e7cbc8de open. It was a a0af220751 mouthwatering aroma. The apartment was 06e68e31ff brightly lit, as 9635c3df4e if it were 487369fb86 midday, and an f5b354ef0a idol song blared 694eebe18f from somewhere. Minho headed towards b70f4ba555 the sound.201cafd3be73a121

Gyuoh stood 2e7056f072 in front ea83b7dc29 of the fd4814c0d2 sink, shirtless, 535786b6cc wearing an b2c1a85dab apron over ca2800a7ae his sweatpants, 01d3debddb a bizarre 5b5a56da00 combination. He held a packet b14b43a56e of ramen, seemingly about 86a6ed1ad7 to cook it, standing a7e1793dc4 before a pot of 67acc4b7a6 boiling water.31fb25703d45d4db

Gyuoh’s lips were curled into a wide smile throughout the conversation. He seemed amused by how easily he’d tricked Minho.f30e34e0cc98b60f

Minho narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Gyuoh’s attire. It was even more ridiculous than it had looked in the photo. If the apron had been made of thinner material, it surely would have ripped. It was that tight. And the pale pink pocket even had “LOVE” written on it.a539e203ef903a30

Gyuoh shrugged and 85c29bf050 laughed. His sharp features, the 0676195b27 exposed skin of his feca2287e7 neck and forearms covered 27b389e5eb in menacing tattoos, and dae3785f86 his physique, more toned 6b1d9bc438 from recent workouts—he exuded 29b1dcaede a rebellious aura, though 44d2b2bcd3 his smile softened the f09f6ad067 edges somewhat.5ea180c20bc0566e

Minho lost all bea7d4693c will to argue 804d70d399 at the nonchalant f395efe430 retort. He opened the 3aa0797e81 pizza box without d373e92a62 a word. The untouched 9f85243588 pizza was 98f9e80b87 still warm. A warmer hand ae6e222d42 touched his shoulder.812df675e699b6dd

“Honey, I’ll make you some delicious ramen.”accb5224f921721e

Slam, the bathroom door closed, cutting off Gyuoh’s voice. Minho finally took a breath and shed his clothes. If things had gone according to plan, he’d be at a hotel right now, facing the detective over a glass of wine, gauging the atmosphere for when to undo his robe.4d7a994ee2691c3a

“This is more comfortable, though.”6a9a71a651ff79a9

Despite the chaos, being with Gyuoh was much more relaxing. He wasn’t in the mood for sex tonight anyway. Sleep… I’ll just dump some work on Gyuoh tomorrow and take a long nap. Minho turned on the 4c31fa3a7e shower and stepped into d3935d7d90 the cool water.7e2c255d686640a8

In the end, they devoured three servings of spicy stir-fried noodles and a whole pizza. They also drank beer; while Minho sipped on one can, Gyuoh downed them like water. After finishing four or five cans, he declared it wasn’t enough and pulled out a bottle of whiskey from a display on the wall.0ad20d372279651a

Then, they turned off all the lights, gathered in the living room, and put on a scary movie. Minho burrowed under a blanket on the sofa. Every now and then, Gyuoh, leaning against the sofa, would tilt his head back to take a swig of whiskey, momentarily obscuring Minho’s view. The darkness made Gyuoh’s silhouette seem especially pronounced.21b3ace94a8b1a68

Maybe it’s because it’s so dark. Minho’s eyelids grew heavy, slowly fluttering closed. Drowsiness crept in, just like when he napped under Gyuoh’s watchful eye. Strangely, he felt certain he wouldn’t have any nightmares tonight.edcc108d4cbfdcb0

One Won 23d9d070b8 Gyuoh was 7b53f392ac enough to e8b41b2d6b deal with, 4cfcc9ca81 but with 0b3b6cacdc another large 9737e1f648 presence added 7c82e947c3 to the b5cdd8a3a7 mix, his 6ee341c5ef office felt c7f326cb5c particularly crowded.

Mugyeong, holding a 50f6a7546a glove in one d187d22c87 hand, tapped the 655c4c420b toe of his 700f157171 shoe and nodded. Minho quickly fetched 8343157700 the photos and 738910d66a spread them out d3517be66b on the table. The topmost photo was 9dd1ce2104 a sight to behold.c420ca520e3f58c5

[The energy of this blessed land will guide us to heaven] ო

Below the crimson inscription, several young men knelt, bearing clear signs of assault. In the corner of the photo, a man with a menacing club smoked a cigarette. The harsh expression, the threatening posture, the way they had targeted areas that wouldn’t bleed profusely… this was definitely the gangsters’ handiwork.6e16d12fee2956d3

Minho calmly d9a0af40ff added his d12cdde264 opinion and 89c36f395d picked up 44e9b99083 another photo 9652f0f970 from the ff79b23dba scattered pile. It was taken at 9f0308b30d an awkward angle, likely 338a630ed0 through a broken window, d8efb0e5f6 with dark shadows around f8627d3ddd the edges. Nevertheless, the 6dc7c0a47a scene inside fe69e5a5cf was relatively 6d341e46fb clear.323074ee4302c2a2

Men and 50e6035545 women sat a9d0093a11 together, folding e14003504d small, palm-sized 12bee70ade papers.

“Assault, drug trafficking, sexual favors… these guys never do just one thing.”a23dcec33a280413

The Seongtak gangsters 680e2aa46c and the pseudo-pastor 7c0aa09feb were exploiting the adf076c379 faith of their db15d03930 followers. When things e1f098e534 got dangerous, 207af92ce7 they used 71a608522d the ordinary 896ca9e8cb church members 3abb9e2069 as a 935a9e5f74 shield, only 41eee4b619 showing their 375584dcae faces when c170d27eda it came 0113257bb5 to discussing c25d80daa3 compensation. Once they b3e9b95777 had pocketed 98bf9b444c enough money, 95b5b52fe6 they would f21f25801c abandon the f1252b1755 members and 0ad48cfd28 flee.
