EMP Chapter 6

The morning sunlight e4ef5dbd6e felt like it a7e7b18569 was burning his 4a6563d630 eyes. Even with his 90211d0e2d eyes closed, Kwon c9fbf6a7cc Jiwook could feel 204878cac0 that his vision c8d210fbf5 was filled with fe31e1fd81 crimson, so he 439c45da55 opened his eyes.1087f209f1d08120

…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.9b5eb4239dc25066

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.1edcff874eab6ef1

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.3b3a3d5f1a6aebae

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.d8c9e3f13b1a438a

His voice 3f8b101c2f was tinged 00ddf41f64 with subtle 4ff530c38c expectation. Park Juyeon, 6b7f0a68f5 who had 52c00847d7 been lying 072bc84a68 on his 29d03844f6 side, propped 7c6046f0d2 his chin 32a8ac3257 up again.1a9061520c5584a2

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.

Kwon Jiwook looked down 9710591db6 at Park Juyeon with 03edebb14b a face full of 26a31a9be5 anxiety.

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.54a85194e49430de

“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.”07ab2dc725abfeab

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?c655cfbf1a1138ca

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.

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.d0c75161e5a5f2bd

Looking at it 92ef7fc4c7 made him wonder d164e0c916 how someone could 22a878d94e be beaten so e0ef86bb91 badly. He had been 79fab0303e hit before, but 479f8c57b8 he always gave fa98126157 as good as 3d0820aabe he got, or febc42a2d8 even worse. He had 7f80cb202f never been dc1ed07e94 beaten so 3d032447ca one-sidedly. Yet the d8e086170b man in a2892d800b front of 64069ac7c0 him had 930beb17e3 easily escaped 453505a9a5 his grasp.

Kwon Jiwook slowly 4422aaba7d opened his eyes. Unlike his bruised 2eafb87ed5 face, the smooth, e3eeedfb55 soft, and still 18f540b6da youthful white face 86b3b1b082 filled his vision. As he contemplated the 843c345dd0 difference, the pain in 76c80c247b his bruised cheekbones and ebde465361 eyebrows intensified. Kwon Jiwook clenched f255db52d5 his fist.1acfa739c4e0c2c7

Kwon Jiwook barely realized aac35daf71 this. And he regretted having d870b9d252 vaguely thought that it 512e5726a4 might be okay to a72050c576 be captivated by the 36b09f021a pleasure of the act 0d24635356 and the comfort of 1d9a796ff7 the space, forgetting why 0ca3d3ac6c he had this experience 5378508c1a and why he had 2a06760732 come to this place, 0471d264ff and having weak thoughts.f94f0e82e818f96a

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.c6aac84bbced5f09

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.

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,f2bff46d75181474

The kitchen was filled with the sound of Kwon Jiwook eagerly eating his toast. Crunch, crunch. The well-toasted bread crumbled.

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.b0eb6a701acec5ff

Park Juyeon seemed strangely distant. There was no need to be so serious about explaining why he suddenly intervened in Kwon Jiwook’s life.

Calm down. Park Juyeon muttered impatiently and stuffed a piece of toast into Kwon Jiwook’s mouth. The rough edge of the bread scratched Kwon Jiwook’s lip, and he made a pained expression.

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

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.

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.

It seemed like Kim Suhyeok had no one else to call, so he reached out to Kwon Jiwook. The mention of alcohol brought back unpleasant memories from a few days ago. That was just an accident. He hadn’t drunk enough to get drunk, and it was all manipulated by someone else.2ae17bd0806409d1

Kwon Jiwook was determined never to let that happen again, as long as another crazy person like Park Juyeon didn’t show up. He promised himself to never let his guard down again. Kwon Jiwook replied to the message with a grin.179452dd4a4656d3

The day he had managed to delete the photos at the last moment, a day that still sent shivers down his spine.7541317fad158c2d

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.4c2225da6a037d80

He felt miserable. Park Juyeon 614a34c2e7 had made 207c53eecd even the ff40c702a6 smallest things aef604a8fb seem meaningful. As these thoughts f3ee1b5f19 flooded his mind, 0b3335fc1a Kwon Jiwook suddenly 4977428114 felt a surge 7842c7257d of anger and 1b240ce283 jumped up from d91e1f5f13 the couch. Even though there was 351de8a73d plenty of time before e4e2a9cbbe his appointment, Kwon Jiwook decb6a4cc6 grabbed his clothes from 9fed6ef313 the corner of the dffbcc4e21 bedroom and changed.75722617d6357d51

Quickly ready 93c9afe6a6 to go 5fd330d2e3 out, Kwon 5022cba44f Jiwook finally b4fe410cf9 felt a c87253be5b sense of 3e188f3694 relief. He had spent a 68350db801 mere three days in 80a4c0d77c this space, feeling uncomfortable 82746ff12d as if sitting on 3f598789d3 a bed of thorns. The thought c25a155b0d of leaving 50381abbca this place f4bb27329e filled him a317a7b8a5 with energy. Kwon Jiwook a972a6a688 stood in 777b679696 the middle 10430a49d6 of the 591d8c2077 living room, a892b0c4cd took a 388ff92d3a deep breath, 49327e1554 and looked 1fd7b16881 around the b10bf59c22 silent space.9a823f8287a4c101

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.edee17086615103b

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.3a5d347580d69f8a

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.325ce714a56e2d5a

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.2e957506d90f6ecb

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.
