EMP Chapter 6

The morning sunlight felt 50483fc9b3 like it was burning ecd009967b his eyes. Even with 9e22e60956 his eyes 6a87deda2b closed, Kwon 92ea339ea6 Jiwook could dda2a51ba0 feel that 5c3e8aa8c5 his vision 9e8fe4a9e6 was filled eca8aefbe5 with crimson, 366c40201b so he 99932336ad opened his b042ea2d1c eyes.bf570e9c2227c1b9

…He opened them, but before even a second had passed, he closed them again. Ah, shit, my eyes hurt… He muttered in a hoarse voice, and someone next to him stealthily placed their hand above Kwon Jiwook’s eyebrows to provide shade. His vision turned into a cool blue color. As his eyes felt more comfortable, the furrow in Kwon Jiwook’s brow smoothed out. With the disturbance to his sleep gone, his breathing began to even out again.b3a9d451d6302e28

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Kwon Jiwook opened his eyes wide. The first thing he saw was someone’s palm. Following the arm extended from the palm, he slightly turned his head to see Park Juyeon lying on his side, chin propped up, staring down at Kwon Jiwook.4e3cabd8730e8fe2

He must have been moved to the bed at some point. Kwon Jiwook, looking up at Park Juyeon with a rotten fish-like stare, brushed away his hand and pulled the rustling blanket up to his head, turning his back to him. Instead of withdrawing his dismissed hand, Park Juyeon placed it firmly on Kwon Jiwook’s waist, embracing him.57f02bc626e4f388

Kwon Jiwook 9bbb2eebf7 grumbled in fad32219b3 a clearly 26e71d3d89 annoyed tone. He was so 4bd7437473 sleepy he felt 0165a7a0b2 like he was a007b6a108 going crazy, and de545b77b6 Park Juyeon kept 73211ccd53 touching him, making 0e77ed360a him irritated. Moreover, he felt 41da60a282 an instinctive aversion ddbd851deb to having slept 91ef0993ad next to him 23bfc69cf4 all night. Park Juyeon chuckled, 63a3ff1f3c trying to hold 78540d1a04 back his laughter.

Sunbae. Sunbae. Even as Park Juyeon shook him, Kwon Jiwook remained turned away. Park Juyeon properly embraced Kwon Jiwook. He even brushed his lips against the nape of his neck. When there was still no reaction, he gently nibbled on the soft skin. Kwon Jiwook groaned at the unfamiliar ticklish sensation. He wondered why this guy was bothering him since morning, but the drowsiness was overwhelming, and he couldn’t move his body.6a467fa6230ae59b

Kwon Jiwook slowly 79471feb6d opened his eyes, 508ad1c071 which he had b3a968d6bc kept closed until 297d586028 now. He had 67bfed29a9 forgotten the e1799064fc main point. Come to ecaa1adf4a think of 75c05d8693 it, Park fda1da641c Juyeon had 2f3b17537a brought up b7253361cc the photos 16b1c97a21 when he 79857a23b0 put him 9c08a6ac3e in the 766b3a0380 car and cef081b1cf before they b0b5307710 ate yesterday. Kwon Jiwook c027a5c0bc relaxed his 681281565c shoulders, which 8deeebc2c7 had tensed b8ee1f0872 up from 162b641397 the persistent 048bde34cc stimulation, and 06b9799d60 lay down 06365d7d5d properly.

His voice was f8e8e01cee tinged with subtle 9a9599f179 expectation. Park Juyeon, who had a2cfec15b8 been lying on his afa5461268 side, propped his chin 8580931205 up again.c95346cd0f956d2a

“Then what the hell have you been doing all this time? Why can’t I go to my own house and I’m stuck here like this, you bastard? When are you going to stop using those damn, shitty photos?!”c044858ab1c3c0b3

From the “shitty” part onwards, Kwon Jiwook couldn’t hold back his anger and raised his voice. Park Juyeon paused for a moment, thinking, then went “Aha.” It seemed like Kwon Jiwook was misunderstanding something. Park Juyeon patted Kwon Jiwook’s body soothingly, as he was breathing heavily and panting.2dcfbcfb1fff2a21

Hmm. It seemed the lesson hadn’t been entirely ineffective.

As soon as he 9f9f2c630e finished speaking, Kwon Jiwook 13601a2ce7 sat up straight. His body 16a2210c72 must have 82a49dc12d been quite 7eff57d8a6 sore, but 6d6c423dbe his physical 1d8f41d13d strength was b3919da6cb impressive. Kwon Jiwook looked 5cd9b2c3f6 down at Park ce25eefb5f Juyeon with a 0dd94971f7 face full of cf6e42d5d8 anxiety.

Kwon Jiwook bit his lip nervously. Still half-asleep, he was worried about agreeing to some strange bet without realizing it, so he tried to focus. Park Juyeon, whether he knew Kwon Jiwook’s thoughts or not, took his hand off his chin and sat up. Their eyes were now level.f8e8263d003be04b

When Park Juyeon finished speaking, silence fell. The smile faded from his face. The gentle and soft face that suited the morning sunlight disappeared, leaving only coldness. Kwon Jiwook watched this transformation without moving. After staring into Park Juyeon’s dark eyes for a while, Kwon Jiwook’s gaze fell to his lips. At that moment, Park Juyeon spoke again.d7e9c3dcc73727fb

“If the three months pass quietly, our relationship ends there. I’m not the kind of person who would pretend to delete them, so the photos will disappear from this world that day. By then, I will have enjoyed Sunbae as much as I want.”d980f69cbc69d056

It was probably because Park Juyeon’s face, pretending to be kind and stroking him, was hard and stiff, as if angry. But why was he angry?8c5769fd4d6dbbe1

Shouldn’t he be the one who’s angry? Unable to express his feelings, Kwon Jiwook just moved his lips without responding. Kwon Jiwook looked down at the blanket without any particular reaction. Hmm.

“Why is your reaction so lukewarm? Do you think that since you’ve already gone all the way with me, it doesn’t matter if the photos are leaked or not?”c8f0c76a41ae4dee

No, that won’t do. Park Juyeon took Kwon Jiwook’s unresponsive hand and unlocked the phone with his fingerprint. Even then, Kwon Jiwook just sat there thinking about something. He clenched his fist as if trying to hide his body belatedly. But Park Juyeon ignored him and fiddled with the phones by himself.18192e1e7b385d21

What had been sent to Kwon Jiwook’s phone was, as expected, a photo of him from the night before, asleep with his legs spread wide open. Fortunately, there were no bodily fluids between his legs; they looked clean. Instead, the most disturbing part of the photo was his face, which looked like it had been thoroughly beaten.57bcd079decf4eb7

Looking at it made e680e6e2f6 him wonder how someone 7e3fbc0cd1 could be beaten so fd02f21b0b badly. He had f11c163ca0 been hit 30d0d2ed67 before, but ed042fccd1 he always 34f85e6409 gave as 97b591949c good as cb96e85ad3 he got, 63993b3361 or even 235ddb121e worse. He had d744d2513b never been 286bc16495 beaten so 6376f09fd6 one-sidedly. Yet the man 7d93cec44e in front of f8ef6cce84 him had easily d81c1a9d3a escaped his grasp.

Kwon Jiwook slowly opened a8137cc11b his eyes. Unlike his bruised face, bc0ec2a529 the smooth, soft, and dde10e7523 still youthful white face ca919c8202 filled his vision. As he contemplated d08da01eb1 the difference, the 35f97a6adc pain in his fa06d16d39 bruised cheekbones and 7dda820dc5 eyebrows intensified. Kwon Jiwook clenched his 0e9d2369d3 fist.157ba8f4bc21e248

No matter how gently Park Juyeon touched his body, smiled and fed him, applied medicine, bathed him, and put him to sleep, he was still a bastard. That fact hadn’t changed.d9221113f1aa3fdb

Kwon Jiwook barely 90bf36a2d3 realized this. And he 98826495c5 regretted having a57204678d vaguely thought 88c17c3665 that it c6b27eb1b2 might be 9b09efd961 okay to abcbf4f1a6 be captivated c503a0482a by the b25c7bc52e pleasure of b2b860b14d the act 8a7c951908 and the 08734e595c comfort of 588bcd5321 the space, e14d7d3b05 forgetting why 419d94079a he had fad906b9a4 this experience 2b4ca5cfd1 and why 85556461ca he had 080eeed896 come to a04d3c98e9 this place, f0fad240bd and having 69d548aacb weak thoughts.fac24acadc80a8c6

He started to feel a bit of defiance. Kwon Jiwook became aware of his tightly clenched fist. Someday, wouldn’t he be able to leave the same scars on that smooth face? Because he had… never lost to anyone else before. Giving up after just one defeat would be a betrayal of the life he had lived so far.fec928e54c10fa9f

Seeing the spark in Kwon Jiwook’s previously listless eyes, Park Juyeon’s lips curled slightly. It was an almost imperceptible smile. A bet is only meaningful if both parties are serious.

Kwon Jiwook met Park Juyeon’s gaze and then looked down, covering his mouth with one hand. The more he hesitated to answer, the more Park Juyeon’s smile faded. What are you hiding so desperately?

Park Juyeon didn’t seem particularly surprised. It was as if he had already suspected and was simply confirming it through Kwon Jiwook’s words. This made it even more puzzling. Why did Park Juyeon dislike Kim Suhyeok’s contact? Was it the act of contact itself that bothered him, or was it Kim Suhyeok he disliked? As Kwon Jiwook pondered this, Park Juyeon asked,d25ed6d6d6f6defb

Don’t want to be with him anymore…? Park Juyeon murmured to himself. He wasn’t particularly helpful or harmful. He was just a useless person, so why did Kim Suhyeok bother him so much? Even when he grabbed him in the lecture hall, Park Juyeon found him unpleasant.2152a41c8a888fda

Kwon Jiwook looked at him strangely for a moment, then nodded without a word. Whether it was Hyung or Sunbae, it was still a term used by a junior to address a senior.

Did that mean he wanted to be closer? But Park Juyeon was still a difficult person for Kwon Jiwook to deal with.

Kwon Jiwook shrugged. Park Juyeon’s words sounded strange to him. It was as if he knew everything about him, which was oddly annoying. Park Juyeon laughed lightly and muttered, “That’s weird, I thought you’d like it.” Kwon Jiwook smirked. He had no idea where that logic came from.89f94cacb4cdea57

The simple but hearty breakfast came to an end. Perhaps feeling a bit guilty for only offering bread and two types of jam, Park Juyeon patted Kwon Jiwook’s head after clearing the table and said, “Think about what you want to eat. I’ll buy it for you.” Then he went straight to his room without waiting for Kwon Jiwook’s response. Park Juyeon was still an inconsiderate jerk.

Objectively speaking, e5d98f42d6 his face 9285c7e862 was still 59769d334e attractive enough e51c596561 to arouse 05366353e7 desire in 8ac457b9ae men.

Still, this should be fine. It’s not like he was doing anything extreme. It was a bit of a gamble. Kwon Jiwook was curious about Park Juyeon’s boiling point.

Kim Suhyeok seemed a bit unhappy, dragging out his words a few times. But he soon convinced himself that starting earlier would be more fun and cheered up. Fortunately, Kim Suhyeok didn’t ask about Park Juyeon.504d38c2d1b67eb8

Even lying on the couch, Kwon Jiwook felt uneasy. It was as if a boulder was sitting heavily in the pit of his stomach. After messaging Kim Suhyeok, Kwon Jiwook’s mind was flooded with memories of that day. The day he had managed to delete the photos at the last moment, a day that still sent shivers down his spine.40cf96127990e926

Thoughts of that day kept resurfacing, unbidden. Even now, lying on the couch, he could feel Park Juyeon’s firm body pressing down on him, and the humiliation of being violated the day before. The sensation of the couch beneath his hand was the same as it had been yesterday.69d0e49b93365aa5

He felt miserable. Park Juyeon 33aa855e98 had made 729cc1aed0 even the 28d04bd8f8 smallest things 261aaf1d5c seem meaningful. As these 472ad51a4d thoughts flooded 8c9e37291a his mind, 493cda26af Kwon Jiwook c6c6cc5a5e suddenly felt b81f491b5a a surge efc2bb111b of anger a8c807dc6b and jumped 891b9542bb up from a993c817a8 the couch. Even though c9fa89fb27 there was c564a6048b plenty of b4a5cd3e0c time before fc34251f95 his appointment, c9dc20c6e0 Kwon Jiwook 9ebe97894a grabbed his 02504145c6 clothes from eec4a4b2df the corner f10f8269fb of the e58e8c5002 bedroom and 3dfef284be changed.7a5d3af8173d8390

Quickly ready to 36503e8f35 go out, Kwon 22ccfbce65 Jiwook finally felt 13b052b9b5 a sense of 35af3dc4a2 relief. He had spent a 36d7fdea43 mere three days in 504a4058af this space, feeling uncomfortable ebedc7d496 as if sitting on 867ad978d9 a bed of thorns. The thought of 63031f0f3f leaving this place 12636b5fcc filled him with 7e6e4c14aa energy. Kwon Jiwook 8c5a5e5ba8 stood in 68b90e889b the middle 298af8e2f1 of the 22261225ec living room, feb9d0724b took a 25ea46d6ba deep breath, a62c89561c and looked 240d94093c around the 428b021f30 silent space.fa4453b8cbb5c533

“The house is nice, though.”c15c6150e82280b6

But there was no f8392ca890 need to stay here 5c37111983 when he had his a1b219638b own perfectly good place. Park Juyeon had told 1831cfc6a1 him to stay put, 3dc583e8f1 but it was said 6ef63cda43 so casually.55c7c330d4d93ebf

The large, empty house felt eerie despite its luxurious and shiny interior. Kwon Jiwook hoped the house wouldn’t welcome him, and in reality, he didn’t want to see it again. He left Park Juyeon’s house with these silly thoughts.fa224e397972cb97

Park Juyeon’s house was farther away than Kwon Jiwook thought. It took more than 20 minutes by taxi to reach his own place near the school. Having a car wouldn’t make much difference; living so far from school seemed like a waste. If you’re living alone, wouldn’t it be better to live closer to school? Kwon Jiwook thought as he looked out the taxi window. But this too was just another useless thought.9ec4f52b525d60e8

His own place felt cold after being empty for just a few days. It seemed like dust had settled, but Kwon Jiwook, who wasn’t particularly neat, put off cleaning and changed his clothes first.a3c232c53ccb0aec

Finally, the discomfort faded. As he changed into a new sweater, he felt like Park Juyeon’s scent was gone. Familiar with the smell of fabric softener, Kwon Jiwook rubbed his tired face. He thought about throwing away those clothes but decided against it since he wasn’t as wealthy as Park Juyeon.235c4fc27272dddb

As Kwon Jiwook slowly 32a9e193a9 sat down on his 964a0636cc bed, his phone vibrated 00c6e587e2 loudly in his pocket. Someone was calling.c6523f221e9a787e

Startled, Kwon Jiwook jumped. Thankfully, no one was around to see him embarrassed again. The phone rang several times, but Kwon Jiwook froze and didn’t answer. The phone stopped ringing but started vibrating again immediately.21e08e83ea1196db

It’s okay, it’s okay. Kwon Jiwook pressed his palm against his chest, which had stiffened and started to ache. He took a deep breath and checked the caller ID.2368d3490b910ac0

He felt 1c78017a51 relieved but e8ecb521cf also annoyed 52fe5c6947 at himself 244c896627 for being 312f9e34f7 so tense. Fuck, fuck…! This was all because 099fddd801 of that damn Park 77a68f736f Juyeon. Why did 97a93814b1 he feel 182c624dd6 like he 7eec19c88a had done 85fe75ebd8 something wrong 513db90be1 just by e3cd1b833e leaving that 50789c0687 house? It was ee69e9a8c2 only natural 8abd2d128d to leave.

Why is he so sensitive today? Kim Suhyeok muttered, holding the phone away. Unfortunately, Kwon Jiwook heard it loud and clear. And he was in a bad mood. Kwon Jiwook’s voice was low and stern.024c689b6a2f8be1

— Huh? I didn’t say anything. Anyway, you’re coming, right? It’s 6 o’clock, got it? Make sure you come.3a0e44aa76b2ba69

Kim Suhyeok quickly hung up, seeming scared. Kwon Jiwook’s eyebrows twitched. He thought about calling back to curse him out but gave up and lay back on the bed. The bed wasn’t as comfortable as Park Juyeon’s, but it wasn’t bad. Most importantly, it was familiar and comforting, something that couldn’t be easily dismissed.3f0ebe51a89b3027

Kim Suhyeok was silent. The other d5689ea767 end of dd7a84571f the phone 55f24589a8 was eerily 84f588c708 quiet. An unwelcome silence hung 1a2dc79c09 in the air. Puzzled, Kwon Jiwook 7d82d2cdb2 checked the screen.7182441b2947d480

As soon as that b54d8d7234 face came to mind, edd63801d2 Kwon Jiwook took a 88e433507e deep breath and hung d10c6e26e1 up the phone.
