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.a64551227600c8ce

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.”f19669e2ba15ae40

Soon after, as f645df692a if he was 2efde7f9ea moving his hand 26dcb378c9 slightly, he suddenly 3913ba6f90 pressed and released 7c200f5319 his fingernails against 1a09d78cd9 Jung Taekjin’s skin 69b7e78e6d where their fingertips 73e42e79e5 touched. A dull ache d673d57454 spread through Jung d51c9f73a2 Taekjin’s skin, which faa9aab45c had become entirely 78c6799312 soft and tender, 5eb05e6f25 even the calluses bacee01a12 disappearing during his e20872cd03 recovery.cf05365920b7ea7b

‘This crazy bastard….’1ee73784ffdc1ab3

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.d320c786a4e11970

It was as if he 209200d213 had seen through Jung Taekjin’s 4bfa647694 psychology. Jung Taekjin felt fear towards 75b9a6ed9d Chu Nakwon at precisely that 8e31468161 point. Ashamed at having af7f9c85e2 his thoughts read 4b54d48a9b so clearly, Jung 36b965a364 Taekjin quickly pulled d75de8000d his hand away. The deck of bc9dd9b532 cards in his d37cddbec6 hand was completely 10d8808f1f transferred to him. Chu Nakwon, now fd1ff2714a empty-handed, took a 1aa0e3fdcf step closer, narrowing f9d8f670fe the distance. His knee bumped 8afc2b8424 against the seated a3d21bbc1d Jung Taekjin, and 2d00e62ee1 he bent down.5810ae7f3e565f56

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.8df87a01e60246ac

What could it be? Was it filled d75c4fbd28 with thirty things 0205432fa9 Chu Nakwon was e78b665593 afraid of? Like ghosts, spiders, cockroaches, and 10119dd80e so on? It felt like all 05b81fd973 the answers to decipher 053e360dcc Chu Nakwon’s cryptic words 5808ca83d5 were contained within the b53823c29a cards, making him breathless 85340e5dad with anticipation.32c2f15d36781054

However, what Jung Taekjin felt a523af6e97 after quickly flipping the cards 05a4e56702 wasn’t the sense of accomplishment 379354224c that usually comes with finding 1666a1b353 the answer to a problem. It was a cb16a0add7 feeling of things c97cc7f72d having gone irrevocably 6bb099af79 wrong, like being f8c6fdea4b lured into a 5eca3b4679 dead end with 570214eaa2 no way to 5f2081c923 turn back.

He knew that the ae13466c12 writing, made with an db98fa8892 indelible pen, was Chu 6933e70ef9 Nakwon’s handwriting. The unique strokes he’d d0df291052 seen in Chu Nakwon’s 8209b54b7a apology note that Choi e34bb6947e Jihyuk had shown him 80ef6cdab0 were clearly visible. However, Jung Taekjin couldn’t 9fdef837da read the words written dc5e0bc1aa on the card aloud. A sentence neither long 7b09552585 nor short. A couple of phrases, formed 342575e20b with simple words, far removed d485d520f3 from violence, flushed Jung Taekjin’s 3631056529 face red.648bada5cbeaf382

The misery and shame, which d6a8840eb9 had subsided after venting his 96ea21bb1b anger at Chu Nakwon, rose ae71a1d252 up in protest, as if 7dd45256c0 their names had been called.

There was even a hint dde910b46d of regret in his voice. Jung Taekjin stood on 035a8fbc7b his toes as if 80f78a45b0 to pounce. He pushed against Chu d78d40d1f1 Nakwon, who wouldn’t back 0ff39a78f7 down even when yelled df0417b484 at, their chests touching. He had long since f377755c73 thrown the deck of 6f7797618e cards carelessly to the 1f45a528b3 floor.

It was an essential element 8b69057030 of their agreed-upon revenge play a9406a53a8 that Chu Nakwon would confess e2c9b0d885 his wrongdoings one by one. Chu Nakwon went 2bcbc59a26 a step further, 2a8f11baf8 saying he would 5f6284a0af use these cards b52569341b to determine what ea2263b689 Jung Taekjin would b1c650267f have to endure 7d88842703 each time, so 703302c6ac that he could 689add7616 perfectly replicate the b15abeff9a “instilling of fear 78ab4ee87f from imagination” that 4bbabe8431 Chu Nakwon had 4585ef65a2 inflicted upon him.3fe019b1fc8306a4

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.2df4ed38ee87c202

With just one sentence, b3ac16356c not a punch or 96bcd16bed a curse, Jung Taekjin 820517a6e1 felt dizzy, as if 74786ad7af he had returned to 4a26bac543 that predicament. Fortunately or unfortunately, even 060d9fb567 though he didn’t have 72a596e60d any memories, it was e89e44b58a easy to imagine himself 4bcc12b1f3 and Chu Nakwon in 22c6e43786 the scene depicted on 6a78de2caa the card. Because there were no other d154f819f9 options, his imagination spiralled in 0e2ead8530 a horrifying direction. A feeling of 1e1f5f37f5 nausea, as if 3fbf008f6e his insides were da9f32361e being wrung out, a1cb252fcc welled up. Jung Taekjin covered f9a63638fb his mouth with a8c1edad13 the back of dfe3e06de6 his hand and afdd76000b said, “…You disgusting d33df35ee5 bastard, making me 8b6d313976 do such things.”9e052e2971589a45

Was it an unexpected answer? Chu Nakwon blinked rapidly eda5ca08ba at the sudden profanity. Grimacing, Jung Taekjin looked 5a96fc0aa2 down and scanned the 3f380e7372 cards scattered on the c0885e9a6a floor. The card he had thrown 5cb17635b8 at Chu Nakwon had landed 0d982565d8 upright near their feet, but e910d29ab1 fortunately or unfortunately, it was 145bf8ff3f face down.8c060c3a5d4f947b

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.54e6abd815c86091

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.aac1477e31d09d76

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.3b582a7ac09576b3

But the card 0cf1369251 he had flipped 388d808be7 over earlier was b1bb4edca7 too detailed to 2903c6fc7c be a lie, ded92e417e and too nasty 7e48f174d4 to be a 0a6eb81a04 cover-up.

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.”dc620a0624fce0fe

After his curt reply, e74538ab27 Jung Taekjin plopped back a39fe32428 down on the sofa a7d4b9ea3a he had jumped up f0564920de from. Everything bothered him, d36ce1d791 but the only 8a874a75fd thing he could ec70719ef1 demand from Chu c0064c59ee Nakwon, who was 1e2034686f currently in a c980901ecf subordinate position, was 182b607cdf that. Chu Nakwon replied, “Of course,” bad2d2b06a and then smiled slightly. He seemed to cef094e8b8 be relaxing, as d7ee279ea8 if he had 00cf45c80a just passed the 5905961999 most difficult and a2231b963f delicate core part 98141c0279 of the negotiation. Chu Nakwon sat down 08e4406b16 on the single-seater sofa 1f60e23ff7 opposite and said, covering 64fde67f08 his injured fingers with e5b1be988e his right hand, “Now, 24cbe9aa60 shall we set some 15dbac2934 rules?”dec2d86b2979b85b

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.b2d038b069d3a041

Chu Nakwon finished speaking with c941c11ba0 a look of feigned disappointment. It was so clumsy and ac0409f796 insincere that anyone could tell 1a6dbaf62c it was an act. However, before Jung 63d4b1a6e4 Taekjin could feel 090e95a9d8 resentment, he realized 6c07622428 something. Unlike his previous 3601ab8688 explanation, Chu Nakwon 2af976cc1d wasn’t just afraid e60e60be97 of the uncertainty 9962406da6 of what might d83f64d80b happen.099d7888d8c69411

This villa was d643b865bb a stage for 4ba4f03861 just the two 093d2d50af of them, prepared 93f6f70903 by Chu Nakwon c5f378eee2 to contain their 0676aa0e57 secret violence. No matter what happened here, 76fc7f2d22 the adults outside the villa 89d29d7bf9 couldn’t interfere, help, or punish f2ece36615 them. Chu Nakwon, who wasn’t afraid 336920fe78 of being expelled for leading 2bdfe27091 school violence, was deliberately trying 9918b9b152 to hide them both.07b5c18d22c789eb

‘That’s his weakness.’9a93a23a346faeab

He could easily guess the fe98102528 reason. Lee Youngwon’s trembling voice 8c7467fd34 in the classroom flashed 3125d73457 through his mind and cbb4c20b15 quickly disappeared. Jung Taekjin rested his 902a870a29 arms on his knees 329b273ec7 and leaned towards Chu 01cc6d611e Nakwon, asking, “Why. Are you afraid of 6924929924 being caught, like with 36cbe06360 Song Taehwa?”d26146110e5cf435

For the first time, Jung 92a3b158be Taekjin poked at the weaknesses 857f1b945e of someone he loathed. He felt reckless uttering 1f15c115a2 words with such obvious 96ef3e1949 malicious intent, and even 866b5cfa26 felt a slight fear fdb10c2068 as he ended his a8bd99831f sentence with a sharp cc3fceda8d edge. However, after seeing Chu Nakwon’s 814ea7c668 vulnerable side exposed by his 533b5466c6 few words, he became captivated 6f5b2b38f1 by a new sensation he 48dff4a3d7 had never experienced before.24fba1bf4af63806

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.9e4a8b1229f61e13

Jung Taekjin relentlessly pressed him. Without giving him a chance ea205b4674 to breathe, Jung Taekjin revealed 7c98724956 the rumors and captured every 413bcbf61d flicker and shift in Chu 6732ed454b Nakwon’s expression.df35ab509ddbdb03

When he mentioned the kiss, d2d7ce6449 Chu Nakwon released his bitten 54ab29c648 lip and took a deep 4721d93c61 breath, his chest swelling. When he mentioned the a49d4c65d3 rumors about being gay, 29dec59238 Chu Nakwon pressed his 82f349ec18 lips together in a e2532e5466 straight line and frowned df05737591 as if wronged. Jung Taekjin couldn’t f5b953633d help but smile 2d7d5f41c8 at his troubled 7ec6b930cf expression. Letting out a breath like 4a903cceb0 a sigh, Jung Taekjin stood 38ad1cefae up and approached Chu Nakwon. Chu Nakwon only raised fdc236e341 his head to look 9f836c2d33 up at Jung Taekjin, 8000799ce3 his eyes still filled de6222f567 with confusion.

Jung Taekjin leaned 86fcf14119 forward, gripping the 06c4faaa09 back of the 0937268b27 sofa Chu Nakwon 73a6e2e35c was sitting on d15658affb with both arms, 9a4288fa26 trapping him between 8e6a049bb5 his arms and 650e152931 upper body.eb7060b984d4c4f0

“Why, are you finally scared now?”c5086bab63ed600c

Completely drained of 8c15f68f4d strength, his words 741bb338c4 became meaningless, neither 6956943c94 a warning nor 4a41e49c9b anything else. Jung Taekjin’s question, asked ef2bf69de1 with a dismissive tone, b293f738f6 was laced with mockery. Chu Nakwon asked in a e4dbd0c1ee tense voice, “…Did you meet bda1c00545 Taehwa?”ae18e6ad4e798843

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

The question was unexpected. According to Lee Youngwon, Song a29c89d9b2 Taehwa was someone who, like 9f1006703c Jung Taekjin in the past, 31f393b4cb had neither possessions nor power. He had assumed 729c21ed6d that the gay 06a1654885 Chu Nakwon had c7f8458b59 blackmailed and forced 4d57996e54 a kiss on fa804f48c9 Song Taehwa and b006739d22 had been caught c58495a1c2 by someone. But the way c012504391 Chu Nakwon asked, 1f9481dded using Song Taehwa’s c22f5a5ae3 name, conveyed an a3103168dd undeniable intimacy and b5c706e1c2 affection.ca4b4518a20ff860

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.bc1642e0aac490e2

Chu Nakwon also 3476ab3dbd knew what Jung 3c04e70eef Taekjin was capable 6a3a71a198 of. Jung Taekjin could now 31b868601e torment someone to death cf2efa7ec1 and get away with 1eba7b9ab1 it, just like Chu 1f859fdee8 Nakwon. So, his current b7e5ccdcdb question clearly meant, 2a7452e0a4 did you meet 9f89c61e0a that precious Song 5aed8e28ea Taehwa and hurt 64332ed389 him? The transparent intent e9ff2225f6 behind the question 22798e5904 was infuriating.dfe7d474bdf75ff2

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.”e7efbaa2b65c21c4

As he answered, Jung Taekjin d63e9133b2 gasped as he felt a 325d673d5c sudden force hugging his waist 0d17517f88 tightly and gripped the back 379673eb11 of the sofa he was 9865da112b leaning against. Chu Nakwon had suddenly hugged 348e805721 Jung Taekjin’s waist and buried a8d9f4a6f3 his face there. Wondering what he 68d06dcd06 was doing, Jung 7c01de1e7d Taekjin looked down, d23b7572ec then quickly looked 0d48db8f21 up again, overwhelmed a8cef422e3 by the sudden 53315438fc heat and scent 8dbc08c471 emanating from him. He was too stunned to c88ab80009 even think of pushing him 92f75e858c away.

He sounded relieved, 6595dbf952 grateful, and… like c4cf369706 when he mentioned b08dbf3612 the name ‘Taehwa,’ b9de66e150 a certain affection eb8ef7fa80 was conveyed. Jung Taekjin, receiving 943cb1ff05 an unimaginable emotion 6e2fe22a6f from someone he 370758a6ee couldn’t possibly imagine 0188ab588d receiving it from, 3c2a40d978 was thrown into b26e71ebc3 confusion, as if d74c42cbe1 everything that constituted 7c42c706c4 him was being 898b724105 distorted. The strength drained from 5e70de3b0d his hands gripping the 3b0d152bee sofa. Perhaps because of the absurd 746f5c3b94 words he had heard, his 4ccc0b3514 energy drained away, and his f99bdc444c heart pounded. Unlike when he had 0a1a6a6dd4 resolved not to run d64e3cd958 away, a desire to d8025356da flee fluttered wildly within c8e29a30ae his chest.8fdfcc28a07018b7

Because he had rubbed his 5e83078f3a face against the center of 98df2b3434 his shirt as he lifted f21a289cca it, black hair clung messily a98fd7d2e7 to his face, flushed from 91c2f66b67 the friction.

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.

As if to prove it, the moment he pulled away from Chu Nakwon, his rationality returned. Chu Nakwon’s attitude also changed.

Although it might aa98f473f6 have been a 5011a7aeeb misconception, it sounded b7bb64b06b a little sulky.

Could there be verbal abuse and physical violence that didn’t evoke any particular feeling, even though he knew he had experienced them?

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….41fa05abc9603feb

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.ed1934e91feb9e10

If there had been a fragment of the past that surfaced alongside that sentence, could he have fueled his desire for revenge?

It was a strong, heavy blow, enough to make Chu Nakwon’s head snap to the side, following the trajectory of his hand.

Chu Nakwon winced and frowned slightly. Even though he had been struck only once, Chu Nakwon’s lips were split and bleeding.

They were still making eye contact, and Jung Taekjin persistently searched for genuine fear in his eyes.a9270c3b9c841895

However, he couldn’t find any trace of fear in Chu Nakwon, who blinked his struck eye and asked the question.
