EMP Chapter 3

“Apologies if the place feels a bit cramped. Please understand,” Park Juyeon said.

Cramped? Not at all. Judging by his shiny car, it was obvious. This bastard was loaded. Looking around the spacious and almost eerily empty officetel, Kwon Jiwook deliberately gave a curt reply.

“Why would I need to understand? You sure seem eager to host guests in such an underwhelming place.”

“Well, it’s more than adequate for some fun, isn’t it?”

“You’re seriously a brain-dead bastard filled with filth.”

Park Juyeon seemed to take the insult as a joke. Finding it amusing, he let out a languid laugh, looking down at Kwon Jiwook with a gaze laced with lust. It wasn’t hard for Jiwook to recognize that look.

Subtly stepping back, Jiwook inched closer to the door. If worse came to worst, he could make a run for it. But not before getting those photos deleted—that’s why he had come this far, after all. Justifying his presence, he reassured himself. I’m not scared. Without realizing, he pressed his legs firmly into the ground, ready to retreat further.

Noticing Jiwook’s shift, Juyeon hesitated briefly, as if deliberating, then shrugged.

“You’re probably right. I must be brain-dead. It would be tough now anyway, wouldn’t it? You haven’t eaten yet. I’ll hold off.”

Is he saying he’ll wait until after we eat? Growing agitated, Jiwook scowled, fully intending to clarify things. He grabbed Juyeon’s collar roughly with one hand, yanking him closer. The fabric, already wrinkled from earlier, crumpled even more under his grip.

He didn’t care if he got hit again; this needed to be said. Despite being on edge around Juyeon’s unpredictability, he boldly spoke his mind.

“You… Yesterday, I was out cold, so fine, whatever. But now, with me fully conscious, you think you can shove that thing at me? Try it. I’ll bite it off.”

Juyeon, who had been staring alternately at Jiwook’s lips and sharp eyes with widened eyes, suddenly relaxed, his face softening into something almost blissful.

“You’re offering to use your mouth? I wasn’t even hoping for that. What should I do?”

“That thought alone is just too good,” Juyeon added, his eyes curving into crescents, as if he was already relishing the idea. His gaze lowered slowly, fixing on Jiwook’s legs. The intensity of his stare, saturated with desire, made Jiwook feel as though every inch of his body was being scrutinized. It felt as if insects were crawling all over his skin. Jolted by the sensation, Jiwook shoved Juyeon’s chest hard.

“Watch where you’re looking, you filthy bastard. Who do you think you’re ogling, you freak?”

Thrown slightly off balance by the push, Juyeon steadied himself and locked eyes with Jiwook. The moment their gazes met, Jiwook instinctively let out a small, startled sound and trailed off mid-sentence. Juyeon, having observed this, casually dusted off his rumpled collar and chest, saying nonchalantly:

“…Fine. I’ll let it go this time.”

“What?”

With that, Juyeon lightly pressed his finger against Jiwook’s chest, pushing him backward. Each poke caused Jiwook to stumble until his back hit the wall. His trembling frame betrayed his growing fear, though he was too caught up in the moment to notice it himself. He resembled nothing more than a cornered mouse, a sight Juyeon found thoroughly satisfying. Flashing a grin, Juyeon bared his teeth.

“You’re worth watching when you’re trembling after throwing punches. I’ll let it slide.”

“You… bastard! Do I look like someone you can mess with?!”

Jiwook’s sudden outburst, shouted right into Juyeon’s face, made Juyeon flinch and grimace momentarily. What a stubborn man. Always refusing to yield—that’s the problem. Juyeon reached out, aiming for Jiwook’s abdomen, but his hand stopped midway when Jiwook slapped it away with a loud smack.

“Don’t touch me.”

“…”

As Juyeon’s action was thwarted, he shrugged nonchalantly, but then abruptly grabbed Jiwook by the hair. The move was so sudden Jiwook couldn’t even react. What the hell—?! Panic surged through him as Juyeon began dragging him toward the bedroom, his grip merciless.

“Ah, ah! What the hell are you doing, you bastard?!”

“Be quiet.”

Jiwook stumbled and staggered under Juyeon’s unyielding grip. Even when he tripped and fell, Juyeon didn’t stop or even glance back. His scalp burned as though it were being torn apart, and tears welled up in his eyes from the sharp pain.

Desperate, Jiwook clung to Juyeon’s wrist with both hands as though grasping a lifeline. Once they reached the bedroom, Juyeon released Jiwook’s grip on his wrist and flung him onto the bed. The force sent him bouncing on the mattress, his head throbbing from the impact.

As Jiwook tried to gather his bearings, Juyeon climbed on top of him, straddling his body while casually rolling up Jiwook’s turtleneck sweater. It was then that Jiwook’s face went pale. No… this…

Horrified, Jiwook attempted to push him away, but Juyeon, unfazed, grabbed both of Jiwook’s wrists with one hand and pinned them above his head. Though Juyeon’s touch felt deceptively soft, his grip was ironclad. Realizing he couldn’t budge, Jiwook squirmed, trying to dislodge Juyeon, but it was futile. His body felt like it was weighed down by a boulder.

Juyeon pressed Jiwook’s restrained hands into the mattress and began tracing his exposed abdomen with the other hand, slowly but deliberately. His fingers pressed against the bruised and reddened spots caused by earlier blows, causing Jiwook to writhe in pain. Each touch sent a sharp ache rippling through his muscles, forcing him to stop struggling as he whimpered in agony.

“Hngh, ah! Stop, damn it! Don’t press there!”

“Look at this. It’s already so red. By tomorrow, it’ll definitely bruise.”

Pausing his movements, Juyeon let his palm glide gently over Jiwook’s torso, tilting his head slightly as he spoke.

“Do you have any idea whose fault this is?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Jiwook clenched his eyes shut and turned his head away, unwilling to meet Juyeon’s gaze. However, as soon as he did, an intense, sharp pain shot up from his solar plexus, forcing a short, pained cry out of him. Even then, Juyeon’s tone remained icy and detached.

“I told you, didn’t I?”

“Ugh…!”

“I’m the one who beat you up and made you like this. So why can’t you act properly in front of me? Are you stupid, Sunbae?”

With each statement, he lightly struck Kwon Jiwook’s abdomen with his fist. The force was enough to cause pain. Only then did Kwon Jiwook realize that Park Juyeon didn’t like him not obeying. However, there was something he didn’t understand.

Why should I obey you?

Kwon Jiwook groaned from the throbbing pain. He gritted his teeth and tensed his abdomen each time Park Juyeon struck him, trying to suppress his groans. Watching this, Park Juyeon let out a hollow laugh.

“Is your pride that important?”

“It’s not about pride, you idiot. I’m pissed off because I’m in this state because of a bastard like you.”

“That’s what pride is.”

Park Juyeon released his grip on Kwon Jiwook’s wrist. Then, without giving him a chance to defend himself, he roughly slapped Kwon Jiwook’s cheek.

Thud!

The sound was so sharp it seemed like his skin might tear. Kwon Jiwook, unable to grasp the situation, had his eyes wide open and his mouth agape. Finally regaining his senses, he looked up at Park Juyeon with trembling eyes. Park Juyeon grabbed his throat as soon as their eyes met.

“Ugh!”

“Let… go… Ah!”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t act so stupidly.”

Another thud, and he slapped his cheek again, still holding his throat.

Park Juyeon mercilessly slapped Kwon Jiwook’s face with his palm after each sentence. By the time he finished speaking, Kwon Jiwook’s head was turned to the side, his face swollen beyond recognition. His hands, which Park Juyeon had released, were limp and only weakly covering his face. Kwon Jiwook’s fingertips trembled.

“……Huh…….”

“I like it when you resist. It’s so you, not being able to stay still.”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Feeling the movement, Kwon Jiwook stiffened and instinctively covered his face. His fingers trembled, revealing his frightened eyes.

“But you should know your limits, right? Ignoring what people say, shouting and cursing—it’s really annoying. You look like someone who hasn’t been properly socialized.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

Park Juyeon’s face contorted in disgust. The expression of seeing something repulsive flashed across his face for a moment, unseen by Kwon Jiwook, who was covering his face. Soon, Park Juyeon relaxed his expression. His soft features and voice returned to their usual calm demeanor.

“You’re quite good-looking, but honestly, your personality is terrible. So I thought about what to do with you.”

……Is it over? Kwon Jiwook thought his cheek might be torn. He couldn’t see his reflection, but he felt like it might be. He slowly lowered his hands from his face and lifted his head. His vision was blurry with tears. He couldn’t tell if they were tears of frustration or pain.

Kwon Jiwook blinked once. The tears that had welled up but hadn’t fallen yet trickled down his cheeks. His cleared vision caught Park Juyeon. He seemed pleased with the subdued Kwon Jiwook. After blinking a few more times, Kwon Jiwook looked at him.

“At least, I’ll make you act like a human being in front of me.”

Park Juyeon gave his characteristic charming smile. You should act like a human being first, you bastard. Kwon Jiwook bit his lower lip until it turned white.

Some people inherently hate being subordinate to others. They enjoy being dominant and controlling others. That was Kwon Jiwook’s nature. He had never thought of changing it, and no one had ever criticized him for it.

But is having strong pride a sin?

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

That thought lingered in Kwon Jiwook’s mind. Why did this happen? Why did he have to endure this beating and humiliation? Why did he have to be under someone who was a complete stranger until just the day before? Really, was it just because of his pride? Was it worth all this…….

His swollen lips trembled as if he had many questions. Park Juyeon pretended not to notice. Then, he casually moved to sit between Kwon Jiwook’s legs and grabbed his crotch without hesitation. Kwon Jiwook gasped, finally realizing the situation. His eyes widened in shock.

“Stop what? We haven’t even started yet.”

“Don’t do anything from now on!”

Stop it, you bastard! As soon as Kwon Jiwook regained his senses, he shouted. He started thrashing his arms to free himself from Park Juyeon’s grip. His lips, already torn, bled again as he shouted. He twisted his hips, making the bed shake violently. Park Juyeon almost fell off.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Ha, this is troublesome. Park Juyeon laughed softly, raising an eyebrow. He had expected a more submissive reaction. Looking down at the struggling Kwon Jiwook, he felt a mix of annoyance and curiosity. Maybe he had been too lenient. After all, if everyone succumbed to a mere slap, the world would be a boring place.

Having made up his mind, Park Juyeon nodded slightly. He had to admit that he had underestimated Kwon Jiwook and that he wouldn’t break easily. He felt a strange mix of relief and disappointment. Fine, a little more defiance wouldn’t hurt.

Even as these thoughts crossed his mind, his hands didn’t hesitate to strip Kwon Jiwook. Kwon Jiwook was already exhausted from his struggles. Park Juyeon considered just taking him like this.

But Kwon Jiwook gritted his teeth and shook his head. No, this bastard could really ruin him if he got the chance (even though he already had once).

Kwon Jiwook was strong enough to resist Park Juyeon’s attempts for a while. But that didn’t last long. Frustrated that his attempts to undress him were being thwarted, Park Juyeon suddenly started punching Kwon Jiwook in the face. He said he enjoyed seeing blood.

Park Juyeon struck Kwon Jiwook mercilessly every time he tried to speak. Kwon Jiwook, exhausted from resisting, could not counterattack effectively. He could only try to protect his face from the blows. Park Juyeon showed no mercy, and Kwon Jiwook took several hits directly to his face. When Park Juyeon struck his cheek, which had already been hit repeatedly, a sharp pain shot through his entire head.

Once his stance was broken, Kwon Jiwook struggled to cover his face. Every time he was hit, his arms weakened. Park Juyeon grabbed Kwon Jiwook’s collar, lifting his torso halfway, and began to strike him relentlessly. Thud, thud. The sound of the punches echoed eerily through the room. Kwon Jiwook’s body convulsed with each blow before going limp.

“……Ha.”

“…….”

The fist that had been beating Kwon Jiwook senseless finally stopped. Park Juyeon released his grip on Kwon Jiwook’s collar, and his torso fell back onto the bed. For a moment, Park Juyeon held his breath, staring in disbelief at the fallen body.

“…….”

Kwon Jiwook lay on the bed, his face a bloody mess, gasping for breath. Every breath was accompanied by a wheezing sound. Park Juyeon had not only punched him in the face but also struck him with his open palm around his eyebrows and ears, causing his ears to ring.

In fact, it wasn’t just his ears that were ringing. His vision was spinning, and he couldn’t believe he was still conscious. Kwon Jiwook, his mouth filled with blood, spat it out onto the bedsheet. He turned his head to avoid choking on the blood flowing from his nose.

Watching this, Park Juyeon’s expression softened. He laughed hollowly, which turned into a full-blown laugh. The sound of his laughter filled the room.

“Oh, really… I thought you had passed out. You scared me.”

You crazy bastard… Kwon Jiwook doubted his own ears. Park Juyeon wanted to fuck him while he was conscious, but he had miscalculated and almost knocked him out. Kwon Jiwook tried to close his eyes, but Park Juyeon roughly slapped his cheek again.

“Open your eyes. If you pass out now, I’ll really tear your hole apart.”

“……Ugh…….”

The gentle, smiling face disappeared, replaced by a cold expression. Park Juyeon unbuckled Kwon Jiwook’s pants and pulled them down, exposing his lower body.

The space between his legs felt empty. The rustling sound of the bedsheet against his bare skin was eerie. No, stop it, I said… Kwon Jiwook muttered in a dying voice, trying to close his legs, but Park Juyeon firmly held his thigh and spread his legs wide. His legs were spread so wide that his hole naturally opened. It felt disgusting. Kwon Jiwook grimaced.

A satisfied smile spread across Park Juyeon’s face as he examined the area between Kwon Jiwook’s legs. His eyes were unfocused, but it was clear he was enjoying the sight. He slowly traced the entrance with his fingertip, then looked back and forth between the hole and Kwon Jiwook’s face. The contrast between the twitching hole and the battered face amused him, and he laughed openly.

“I was quite considerate, wasn’t I? This didn’t tear.”

Park Juyeon used his middle finger to rub the entrance of the hole up and down. Stop it, please. Stop it. Kwon Jiwook’s face contorted in despair. But Park Juyeon did not let his guard down. He knew Kwon Jiwook might still have some fight left in him. Holding one leg firmly in place, he began to insert his middle finger. Kwon Jiwook’s body tensed visibly. Unlike when he was unconscious, the reaction was much more intense. Park Juyeon pushed his finger in all the way.

Although Kwon Jiwook was conscious this time, the finger entered easily since he had been penetrated the day before. Kwon Jiwook let out a short groan, and his thighs twitched intermittently. He covered his eyes with one hand, panting. It was frustrating that it didn’t hurt.

Park Juyeon moved his middle finger inside, exploring and stirring. There was no lubrication, so the friction caused discomfort. Kwon Jiwook’s ears turned red. It would have been better to pass out from the beating earlier.

“Doesn’t this hurt? Huh?”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

“Fuck, you bastard, just finish it quickly…”

Park Juyeon shrugged, unbothered by the cursing. He pulled out his finger and positioned his erection at Kwon Jiwook’s entrance. He rubbed the tip against the hole, as if gauging whether it would fit. The sensation of a hard, erect penis rubbing against his sensitive area was nauseating. Kwon Jiwook trembled, clutching the bedsheet. He felt like he might vomit at any moment.

Amidst this, when the smooth tip of the penis touched his hole, Kwon Jiwook’s body tensed more than ever. The sight was incredibly arousing to Park Juyeon.

Kwon Jiwook slowly lowered his hand from his eyes and met Park Juyeon’s gaze. Under the lighting, Park Juyeon’s body looked even more intimidating. As their eyes met, Park Juyeon narrowed his eyes. Kwon Jiwook’s expression turned desperate. He tried to push Park Juyeon away.

Wait, wait, this is…!

“……!! ……Agh……!”

At an unexpected moment, Park Juyeon thrust his hips forward, forcing his penis deep inside. The sound of tearing flesh echoed. Ah, ah… Kwon Jiwook, unable to bear the pain, threw his head back and screamed. The hand that had been trying to push Park Juyeon away trembled and fell, clutching the bedsheet tightly.

“Huff, khh……!”

He hadn’t expected the pain to be so intense that it would take his breath away. His struggles ceased, and his muscles convulsed involuntarily. The pain spread from between his legs to his entire body, and he couldn’t even breathe properly, gasping for air. Seeing this, Park Juyeon let out a hollow laugh.

“You told me to do it quickly, fuck. Aren’t you going to relax?”

The sight of Kwon Jiwook’s battered and bloody face, his body trembling with each thrust, was both horrifying and exhilarating for Park Juyeon. He leaned down, his breath hot against Kwon Jiwook’s ear, and whispered, “You look like you’re about to break.”

Kwon Jiwook clutched the bedsheet, his body convulsing with pain. “It hurts, it hurts…” he whimpered, tears streaming down his face. Park Juyeon laughed, a sound that sent shivers down Kwon Jiwook’s spine.

“This is just the beginning,” Park Juyeon murmured, pulling out slightly before slamming back in, making Kwon Jiwook’s legs tremble. Each thrust sent waves of agony through Kwon Jiwook, but Park Juyeon seemed to enjoy it, increasing his pace and depth.

Kwon Jiwook tried to cover his face with a pillow, hiding his tears and humiliation. But Park Juyeon ripped the pillow away, forcing Kwon Jiwook to look at him. “Don’t hide,” he said, his voice cold and commanding. “I want to see your face.”

Kwon Jiwook’s sobs grew louder, his body shaking with each brutal thrust. Park Juyeon’s laughter filled the room, a stark contrast to Kwon Jiwook’s cries of pain. “You should see yourself,” Park Juyeon taunted. “You look so pathetic.”

With a final, brutal thrust, Park Juyeon came, his body shuddering with release. He stayed buried deep inside Kwon Jiwook, savoring the feeling of dominance. Slowly, he pulled out, the sound of their bodies parting filling the room.

Kwon Jiwook lay there, his body aching and bruised, his hole throbbing with pain. He could barely move, his breath coming in ragged gasps. Park Juyeon looked down at him, a satisfied smirk on his face.

“You’re mine now,” he said, his voice cold and possessive. “And don’t you forget it.”

With that, Park Juyeon stood up, leaving Kwon Jiwook alone in his misery. Kwon Jiwook’s vision blurred, and darkness claimed him, offering a merciful escape from the pain and humiliation.

Kwon Jiwook doesn’t break easily. He doesn’t die easily either, and he doesn’t know how to yield… So how can this be more fun? Park Juyeon tapped his pen against his lips, deep in thought. The boring lecture droned on, but Park Juyeon’s mind was elsewhere. He was thinking about Kwon Jiwook, about how to make this more enjoyable.

Last night, he had taken Kwon Jiwook roughly, not bothering with any foreplay or gentleness. He had fucked him until Kwon Jiwook’s body went limp, unable to resist anymore. By the end, Kwon Jiwook was a mess, his body battered and bruised, his hole gaping open.

Park Juyeon smiled to himself, remembering the sight. Kwon Jiwook would still be at the office, unable to move, trapped in his own body. The thought sent a thrill through Park Juyeon.

He looked down at his textbook, tapping the pen against it absently. He should go home and take care of Kwon Jiwook, feed him, talk to him. Make him smile. But what kind of food does Kwon Jiwook like?

The thought was irrelevant, but it lingered in Park Juyeon’s mind. He packed his bag, ready to leave as soon as the lecture ended. His movements were quick and efficient, driven by the thought of seeing Kwon Jiwook again.

“You…!”

Just as Park Juyeon was about to leave, someone blocked his path. He looked up, his face expressionless. Who is this? He thought, trying to place the face.

“Who are you?” Park Juyeon asked, his voice cold and dismissive. The person in front of him, Kim Suhyeok, flinched at the look in Park Juyeon’s eyes, his shoulders slumping.

“You bastard,” Kim Suhyeok muttered. “I’m the club president.”

“Aha.”

So, this person knew him. Finally, Park Juyeon’s blank expression softened into a smile. Kim Suhyeok almost lost himself in that smile but managed to hold on to his composure. Damn, even now, that face is too pretty, Kim Suhyeok muttered, scratching the back of his head.

“But what are you doing here?”

“I’m taking this class, too.”

“Oh… really?”

Park Juyeon tilted his head in mild surprise. He had thought this was a class only for freshmen or sophomores. There was no need for Kim Suhyeok to explain, ‘I couldn’t finish my credits because I was too busy fooling around.’ So he stayed silent for a moment, and the air between them grew awkward.

“Right…”

Park Juyeon muttered, his crooked smile betraying his disinterest in the person standing before him. He wasn’t fond of people who blocked his way, who struck up conversations as if they were entitled to his time. Even if it came from pure goodwill, he had no use for it.

“Alright then. Let’s get along from now on.”

“Oh? Uh, yeah. Sure, let’s.”

With nothing more to say, Kim Suhyeok offered a brief nod and stepped aside. As he walked off, a wave of fatigue washed over him. This wasn’t even a morning class but one in the afternoon, and lunchtime was already long past.

‘Man, I just want to go home.’

But before he could leave, Kim Suhyeok blocked his way once more. Park Juyeon’s eyes narrowed.

Kim Suhyeok swallowed nervously as he asked. He was curious about the person who had sent Kwon Jiwook into such a fit of rage. That name, which Kwon Jiwook had been so insistent he find out, intrigued him.

Park Juyeon raised an eyebrow, as if the question were utterly random, then smiled wryly.

“Park Juyeon. Anyway, I really need to go now.”

The name rolled off his tongue without hesitation, catching Kim Suhyeok off guard. Kwon Jiwook had made such a dramatic fuss that he’d started to treat this junior’s name as if it were some kind of state secret. But for it to come out so easily…

After stating his name, Park Juyeon moved quickly to leave—or at least he tried to. That is, until Kim Suhyeok grabbed his sleeve.

What’s with this guy now? Park Juyeon thought, staring daggers at the shorter man as if he might crush his head on the spot. His voice was laced with irritation.

Park Juyeon’s face went blank. Who got on whose bad side? As he blinked in confusion, Kim Suhyeok ruffled his hair in frustration, likely recalling the chaos from before.

“I mean, that bastard Kwon Jiwook trashed the club room yesterday. That son of a bitch…”

“Oh… because of me?”

“Yeah, that damn guy. He couldn’t find you, so he took it out on me.”

“Ahh…”

It seemed that just thinking about Kwon Jiwook was enough to make Kim Suhyeok’s language grow coarse. Maybe he had picked up the habit from Kwon Jiwook himself. Park Juyeon suddenly remembered the things Kim Suhyeok had said about him at a drinking party.

…Something about being turned on? Or maybe about teaching him a lesson…

Park Juyeon had pretended not to hear, but he remembered everything. They had been speaking so loudly that it would’ve been stranger not to notice. For all his big talk, though, here he was, casually badmouthing Kwon Jiwook behind his back.

“Wait, so did Kwon Jiwook… Sunbae tell you to find out my name?”

Something about the way the conversation was going seemed off to Kim Suhyeok, and he blinked rapidly in confusion. Looking up at Park Juyeon, who stood taller than him, his unease only grew. Park Juyeon let out a light laugh.

“Do you really expect me to believe that?”

He knew Kim Suhyeok didn’t particularly like Kwon Jiwook. It wasn’t unusual to become curious about someone you dislike. Still, that didn’t make it any less annoying. To Park Juyeon, Kim Suhyeok was just another pawn, a means to get under Kwon Jiwook’s skin.

“…You’re really persistent, huh…”

The last words were more like muttering to himself. KimSuhyeok, who didn’t catch it properly, furrowed his brows and asked, “What?” Park Juyeon exhaled softly and smiled awkwardly.

“Are you really that curious? About what kind of trouble I caused?”

“Yeah. I’m dying to know. That way I can mess with that bastard a bit.”

It wasn’t time to tell him yet. Park Juyeon and Kwon Jiwook hadn’t even spoken about the blackmail photos yet. If an agreement fell through or if Kwon Jiwook made any move that didn’t sit well with him, he planned to gradually spread the word. But he didn’t expect KimSuhyeok to be so persistent. Park Juyeon closed his mouth and smiled vaguely.

“Hmm…”

Park Juyeon rolled his eyes. Amidst this, his expression was so charming and cute that KimSuhyeok held his breath. How is he so good-looking? He thought, staring at his white skin and long eyelashes. Park Juyeon either knew or didn’t know about his gaze and responded with casual indifference.

“Oh, but, well… I didn’t do anything that would embarrass me too badly, you know.”

“Then?”

“Maybe something a bit embarrassing?”

After a pause, Park Juyeon spoke, and just as KimSuhyeok was about to open his mouth, he burst into loud laughter.

“Wow, damn. That’s hilarious. Kwon Jiwook embarrassed by something? Now I’m even more curious.”

“Yeah, it’s funny. But I’ll tell you later.”

“Why?”

“Because if I say it now, I might get hit by Jiwook Sunbae. When he calms down a bit, I’ll tell everyone.”

“Oh, really? Yeah, that guy is unstoppable once he goes off.”

At that moment, the image of the blood-stained, blackened bed sheet and someone’s devastated form lying there suddenly came to his mind. Park Juyeon, feeling the need for some self-reflection, shrugged his shoulders lightly.

“Yeah, so I’ll keep quiet for now.”

“Got it. I’ll be waiting, so contact me. You have my number, right?”

“Last time when I joined the club, the vice president gave it to me.”

“Alright, then.”

After finishing their conversation, KimSuhyeok’s expression noticeably brightened. He waved his hand with a refreshed look, but Park Juyeon couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Why was it that he felt this way when it was him who had intruded in the first place?

Park Juyeon waved his hand briefly and checked the time. How many minutes had he wasted on this pointless conversation? Frowning, he clicked his tongue.

Time continued to drag on, and it was nearly five in the afternoon when Park Juyeon finally arrived home.

After the afternoon lecture, Park Juyeon planned to pick up something quick from a restaurant. The problem arose there. The normally quiet family restaurant was swarmed with group orders today. After a long wait, the owner handed him the packaged food with an apologetic expression. Park Juyeon accepted it with a look of displeasure and got into his car.

But, oddly, traffic was jammed as well. Instead of being angry, Park Juyeon felt frustrated and placed both hands on the steering wheel, burying his head. What was going on today?

It wasn’t even rush hour yet, and looking back on the day (he had rushed out thinking he had a first-period class, only to find out it was canceled when he arrived at school), he felt like he was about to face Kwon Jiwook’s attitude, which wouldn’t be pleasant. He needed to calm himself in advance.

However, Kwon Jiwook didn’t answer his calls. That was strange. After driving for another 30 minutes, Park Juyeon rubbed his tired shoulders and unlocked the door to his house.

Click. The door opened.

“…?”

The large house was eerily quiet. Park Juyeon blinked, then took a step forward. The sky had nearly darkened, and the faint evening light filled the house. He turned on the lights and looked around.

“Sunbae, where are you?”

If he had gone somewhere despite being so tired, it would be worth praising him. Park Juyeon placed the packaged food on the table and went to the master bedroom, turning on the light.

No one. Kwon Jiwook wasn’t there.

The only thing left was the bed with dried bloodstains. Park Juyeon pressed his lips together and stared at the empty room with an indifferent face. When did he leave? Where did he go? Calmly, he checked around the room. Then, suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed. Kwon Jiwook’s pants and underwear, carelessly tossed the previous night, caught his eye.

Since he hadn’t even gathered his clothes, it didn’t seem like he left, but why was there no sign of him? As the stillness of the house sank in, Park Juyeon threw Kwon Jiwook’s clothes on the chair and left the room.

Without hesitation, Park Juyeon headed straight for the bathroom. He remembered he hadn’t taken care of the mess. If it were Kwon Jiwook, he would have been desperately trying to throw up the traces left inside him first thing after waking up. Park Juyeon quickly approached the bathroom door and flung it open.

“…Hah.”

A half-laugh escaped him. Maybe he had been nervous, wondering if Kwon Jiwook really had disappeared. Park Juyeon exhaled deeply and slowly approached the bathtub.

Who was the person lying there, comfortably stretched out with their neck resting on the bath pillow, the tub filled with warm water? They had clearly fallen asleep, their lips cracked and slightly parted as they breathed lightly. Up close, their face was… a mess. Park Juyeon felt a sudden wave of sympathy rising within him.

“Sunbae, what are you doing here?”

His voice, full of disbelief, echoed softly in the misty bathroom. Kwon Jiwook didn’t seem ready to wake up, as if he was extremely tired. Park Juyeon pressed his lips together and hummed softly. Was it a suicide attempt, lying like that in the tub? Given his stable condition, it seemed more like he’d just fallen asleep.

“Sunbae, Sunbae… Jiwook Hyung.”

Park Juyeon gently shook his damp shoulder and whispered in his ear. After hesitating for a moment, he added “Hyung” as well. Hearing this, Kwon Jiwook’s eyes slowly opened. After blinking a few times, he suddenly stiffened when he realized who was shaking his shoulder and quickly took a deep breath.
