BBK Ch 10

It was a 30-minute 02f3e4c77f drive, but the roads efbed5e44a were deserted, probably because cf61aaa8ec it was past midnight. Thanks to this, Minho 1b17a8cb8f arrived at his destination 6c84de9212 in less than 20 b50ffa81fc minutes and quickly punched aad22590d4 in the key code.a9a0b5f3fe34b33b

The smell 3b2e72e182 of savory a011debacb pizza wafted d80ab5492e out as 7ae410de25 he flung acfde2cd4b the door c586264833 open. It was 82c8be200a a mouthwatering 73494901f0 aroma. The apartment was brightly 17b8001286 lit, as if it 469a4ee7de were midday, and an 565873a0f6 idol song blared from 0aa28137af somewhere. Minho headed 80426caefd towards the a904a9fa12 sound.a4c61b842063593b

Gyuoh stood ee3b248108 in front a6ebf6e61e of the fcd6fb804c sink, shirtless, 0f538557c6 wearing an 40cdaec248 apron over 8a11ea4ac2 his sweatpants, fefc64b014 a bizarre d5cb369d23 combination. He held a packet b8625cc95e of ramen, seemingly about 535802f5ab to cook it, standing 601865f497 before a pot of 29f9aa96bd boiling water.a219a76e37f37bbf

Gyuoh’s lips were curled into a wide smile throughout the conversation. He seemed amused by how easily he’d tricked Minho.0965618e042b1217

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.85f0a6e04674183c

Gyuoh shrugged and 8a1c3370c0 laughed. His sharp 320f59aa52 features, the e5325cc11f exposed skin fb6967ccc3 of his 458d8cded4 neck and 76f8ab3b8f forearms covered ca9b84ebba in menacing 943e2dc4fa tattoos, and 579364a93a his physique, 88e24d3040 more toned 05f2664c72 from recent a740c06634 workouts—he exuded 9315e29683 a rebellious 8d1f6e5b98 aura, though f5d5cc32b2 his smile 5d3c3d61f0 softened the 9bd7610899 edges somewhat.9463b142fb55fbf4

Minho lost all 5799605fcf will to argue 4a20ab3e9a at the nonchalant 117ebca278 retort. He opened 830102fd4e the pizza 22c417f1b9 box without ad71e46dff a word. The untouched 581ad5a61e pizza was cbcb441768 still warm. A warmer hand 2f0e9b3e95 touched his shoulder.275e9fa8ecf77f56

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.3749348b5334ebfc

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 27d82ea6ca shower and stepped into 054762981d the cool water.8286a47423383162

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.9ae36a53fa7f64fd

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.4faacf859534bcbb

Mugyeong, holding a 2c940f4188 glove in one 626f159416 hand, tapped the 6cce694968 toe of his 5b8271a7dd shoe and nodded. Minho quickly fetched the 2ee4ca66f5 photos and spread them da6bddc6e5 out on the table. The topmost photo 60ec758eb6 was a sight 2fba5bc8ce to behold.a557681f6e2a6d68

[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.b2f2caa4a88d2539

Minho calmly added his 9bfda29438 opinion and picked up f634880457 another photo from the 2e188e360d scattered pile.

“Assault, drug trafficking, sexual favors… these guys never do just one thing.”65ae9f59831c5a8c

The Seongtak 72c6ef824d gangsters and 3f60ecc800 the pseudo-pastor d264945561 were exploiting 4707c51d74 the faith 16f9fb7312 of their cc853f9102 followers.
