EMP Chapter 6

The morning af7f1c260f sunlight felt 5ba5735f81 like it 52cc3bbd2d was burning 027e732cb9 his eyes. Even with his eyes 3084334dbc closed, Kwon Jiwook could 84758a8fd3 feel that his vision df5bc51e13 was filled with crimson, 7b6a79e6ca so he opened his 39fcf8cde6 eyes.5cf7bfe80641ca62

…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.ee019c7c6d2615ca

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.d99c2c83ecdabbe6

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.59b0be9d69a96aa6

Kwon Jiwook grumbled c1881a26fa in a clearly 23adf4b4c7 annoyed tone. He was so 8e8cd93d15 sleepy he felt 3177d2161e like he was 11239ecd24 going crazy, and 585d6f6a6a Park Juyeon kept ff4c5ac7f2 touching him, making 3b08285179 him irritated.

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.5143afb453f98289

Kwon Jiwook slowly opened 6a3780fb45 his eyes, which he 7405840c50 had kept closed until 7e4af67adb now. He had forgotten the 70a1b1f347 main point.

Kwon Jiwook should have been the one surprised, but Park Juyeon looked dumbfounded instead. He genuinely seemed to think he hadn’t done anything.

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.5220576eb4f35603

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

As soon 3e32035439 as he 0ccb276901 finished speaking, 0cd7345cef Kwon Jiwook 7b3a18da28 sat up 664aa12488 straight. His body must have df21deb784 been quite sore, but d935afe474 his physical strength was 4a2ee1982c impressive. Kwon Jiwook looked down 25850b1cf1 at Park Juyeon with 86714fb901 a face full of 137ccd4e0f 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.26cdd8e278d14722

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.a02c909b0b1bd737

“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.”46094a01bde9931e

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?e0ce0416c2d63f93

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.08a729de4fe94cb9

Looking at it made 0446d3db7c him wonder how someone f4423025db could be beaten so dfde6ab4bb badly. He had been d0a8aa2311 hit before, but 4d7b5d5e24 he always gave fb5b03deb3 as good as d13fab1a91 he got, or 409ee7b915 even worse. He had never c73176a896 been beaten so f71e4482cf one-sidedly. Yet the man in 3d1fd28901 front of him had 914afc8ead easily escaped his grasp. He had 249fdb8f15 been powerless.dcf96dfd46e57921

Kwon Jiwook slowly opened dbf6dc277e his eyes. Unlike his bruised face, 74952fa4f1 the smooth, soft, and 65270f9a89 still youthful white face adbe1ec617 filled his vision. As he contemplated the 58ec3d118b difference, the pain in 2c4ab8a996 his bruised cheekbones and 34d7b36b4e eyebrows intensified. Kwon Jiwook clenched his 80a05f2b76 fist.baaa27721ffa98b6

Kwon Jiwook barely realized d0f6c8a9e2 this. And he regretted b988c6bd1a having vaguely thought b4e9345286 that it might 64bb94c128 be okay to efa6b1399c be captivated by 3641f329bc the pleasure of 56a0abce3a the act and 3e9e139d0b the comfort of c43fb0ed52 the space, forgetting e1d89b7ece why he had 854c7c26ad this experience and c700674599 why he had 003aa35430 come to this 99067e0007 place, and having da1e80fada weak thoughts.ff4a53d5ec5773c5

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.9e69a482729c3f2f

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.

Well, actually, there was one. Perhaps worried about Kwon Jiwook, who had caused a scene at the club room and hadn’t been in contact since (though he didn’t really think that was the case), or perhaps curious about news of Park Juyeon, there was a message from Kim Suhyeok.748fb01a5fe10863

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,3518b4ab73b95f70

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.ed137b315e4cdbd9

But these pointless thoughts weren’t helping him with what he needed to do. So, Park Juyeon waved his hand, cutting off his words. He didn’t want to waste his mind on useless thoughts.5aaffcdaac51a6c1

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.

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.a5a6dd293151807f

He felt miserable. Park Juyeon 57987f4411 had made 19e000461e even the cf910e1939 smallest things c9b91a852f seem meaningful. As these thoughts 3076476a8e flooded his mind, 86e5330eb1 Kwon Jiwook suddenly 3ed99216c9 felt a surge 4728ecfcee of anger and a3df58f1e2 jumped up from fb1fe97b6b the couch. Even though there 6f509573cb was plenty of 37329bbe31 time before his f5ba3b5672 appointment, Kwon Jiwook bbea113da6 grabbed his clothes 0397bc74fc from the corner 53d80eabfd of the bedroom e1e136e7c0 and changed.6f4d92dc0e0f81cb

Quickly ready to go 8e953521a7 out, Kwon Jiwook finally 50ad72fa4f felt a sense of 9362b6348f relief. He had spent 3b826efbaa a mere three 2a30bde3ea days in this c6d05a6f08 space, feeling uncomfortable 737ad9e8b8 as if sitting d0b7743832 on a bed 2d096435f6 of thorns. The thought of 83ab914e97 leaving this place 64f40b3fec filled him with 514fe08237 energy. Kwon Jiwook stood in c5d3f189f9 the middle of the 902d0b9873 living room, took a 495988d014 deep breath, and looked f6fd21677a around the silent space.3aaea5af00d59ab2

“The house is nice, though.”fd6a0eeb95494f27

But there was aab47c688f no need to ca4e16dd02 stay here when 0fc967dd09 he had his 7b0dbb0e06 own perfectly good 3e714d2b0b place. Park Juyeon had ea898b6af4 told him to 9831d2b4fe stay put, but 0b93682f7e it was said 81de785681 so casually.c08e33bcaeed902d

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.5ba864f010624c13

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.aceee2ad771bf0b7

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.7fbf192f54ede547

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.9d921ede2006023d

As Kwon Jiwook 14260b708f slowly sat down 4c03e5f1f8 on his bed, b1ff7c392e his phone vibrated fadce322d8 loudly in his d2c06f1e90 pocket. Someone was calling.6f0650f6cb52d41d

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.614089d2553266ea

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.aae9e1e18154d9ca

“Ha.”1cb0c94f39695e65

He felt relieved but 82da8e40c6 also annoyed at himself e24ad6c8a1 for being so tense. Fuck, fuck…! This was e1366f427d all because 2b2461c883 of that 22430f55e9 damn Park edb51c9eb0 Juyeon. Why did he 71768e455a feel like he da271a98c2 had done something a03ae9243e wrong just by 9d5345d92c leaving that house? It was only c53389710b natural to leave. So why… Kwon 4ec6159312 Jiwook suppressed the 9a99d4b1e5 urge to throw 94d5da3dcd his phone and 0d463b7fa2 answered the call.212f9ec731a65039

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.cbc11392914d3002

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.b583303addc39a25

As he lay 228f1f23c3 there staring at 3eb988aed9 the ceiling, his 29603d6535 phone rang again. Kwon Jiwook, bc78cd36f6 still gazing 166a164f51 upward, moved 9ec55059c1 only his 6cf455d910 finger to 004a68b488 answer the f0e520b429 call and 82bfce57b7 muttered in d52982882d a flat d268af0dcc tone.5a7a478d1e5e69d1

Kim Suhyeok was silent. The other end 8b5a43fecd of the phone d4c8b0e1ba was eerily quiet. An unwelcome cb944facd8 silence hung d7e971092b in the e229f7259a air. Puzzled, Kwon Jiwook a7e08b3443 checked the screen.0bb6a14fe0f530dc

The screen flickered, and in the center, the name “Park Juyeon” was displayed.4c347d493727812b

Kwon Jiwook stared at the screen in shock, his trembling hand barely managing to bring the phone back to his ear. Just in time, a familiar voice on the other end sighed deeply, “Haah.”9fdf6738028dafe1

As soon as that 267bd1b4d9 face came to mind, b242203c8a Kwon Jiwook took a a857b94826 deep breath and hung 521d32cc56 up the phone. Fearing that Park Juyeon 507d23076a might call again, he ea4980f2c5 hastily turned off his f3b4521249 phone. It was an impulsive 8164b57d62 action, driven by instinct 13298fc143 rather than thought.
