KTSR | Chapter 16

Seon Ijin’s eyes widened at the gentle nonsense. Ijin turned his head sharply towards the team leader and protested.

“Team Leader! I came in second! I got second, so why…!”

“I said two weeks, Seon Ijin.”

Team Leader Jung corrected him with a vile grin.

It was the perfect way of a loan shark, a thug, a villain. Not stating things clearly and later twisting the words to push someone around. Ijin had understood that if he escaped the bottom ranks within two weeks, the proposal would disappear, but now Team Leader Jung was twisting it to mean he had to do it for the entire two weeks.

“Where’s there such a thing!”

Ijin finally tried to lunge at the team leader, but he was grabbed by a man and couldn’t move an inch. The difference in size was expected, but the strength was enormous.

“Seon Ijin. You picked the wrong person to beg.”

“Ah…!”

At that moment, Ijin turned his body sharply due to the heat at his nape. A nearly burnt-out cigarette butt was about to touch his nape. It almost touched.

The man, after deliberately doing that, said, “Ah, sorry, sorry,” and flicked away the butt. He was chuckling.

“Think about it. Is he higher, or am I higher?”

He put his arm around Ijin’s shoulder in a friendly manner. It felt like a snake wrapping around him, making him shiver.

“You should beg me. What do you think you’ll achieve by going to the team leader?”

The man smelled not of the musty scent of a motel blanket but of a mix of thick cologne and cigarettes. It was an excessively obscene smell.

He pressed Ijin’s cheek, which he stubbornly refused to turn towards him, with the fingers of the hand that was over his shoulder. Pushed hard from the other side, his head had to turn naturally. The man bit into the cheek that was pushed in front of him. It happened in an instant. Ijin even missed the timing to be surprised.

It wasn’t just him who had a dumbfounded look. The team leader was the same. Surprisingly, only the glasses guy seemed indifferent.

“I heard rumors that you, with a punch, blew away some guy’s cheek.”

“……”

“Don’t you know any rumors about me?”

What rumors?

The man seemed confident.

Without the details, just the bluff of that ‘rumor’ sparked all sorts of wild imaginations.

Ijin naturally thought it was the kind of heroic tale that thugs embellish due to their bravado. But after meeting the man, the thought that it might be true started to creep in. That’s how much the man’s mere presence added vividness to B-grade horror movie-like imaginations.

“What are you thinking about?”

The man called out to Ijin, whose eyes had gone blank. Ijin, without realizing it, answered, “Imagining burying someone alive…” In that imagination, the face of the person being buried was the pig-like team leader.

Realizing what he said, he snapped out of it.

“Seeing a crazy face like this is a first. You definitely shouldn’t be a jockey.”

“……”

“But did you know? When you bury someone alive, if you lay them face down, they dig deeper into the ground themselves? They believe that’s the escape route. People are so stupid.”

“Oh, don’t say such things. I’ll really believe it.”

The glasses guy was disgusted.

As he said, Ijin almost… believed it.

“Really? Just kidding, just kidding.”

The man, laughing like coaxing a child, seemed so nonchalant that it made you think it might be true.

“In these times when land is as precious as gold, why would you bury someone? They say the crazier you are, the purer you are, and looking at him, I think that’s true.”

The man, who spoke as he pleased, headed towards the car with a swagger. The glasses guy, only half a head taller than Ijin, followed him closely.

The team leader, looking at Ijin, grimaced and asked.

“Did you sleep with the executive director?”

Everyone and their uncle seem to be asking about his sleeping arrangements.

Ijin was disgusted.

“Might as well sleep with you. I’m so frustrated and bored. Should I go sleep? Should I suck you off? You must be pretty frustrated having waited so long, Team Leader.”

At Ijin’s aggressive retort, the team leader was taken aback. When he first brought him here, it was tough to catch him because he was like a wild colt causing a ruckus. But after a few days of punishment, he was quiet for a while. Recently, though, he had completely lost it.

The team leader seemed to think it wasn’t their fault but that Seon Ijin was just inherently rude and brainless.

“This crazy bastard.”

Shaking his head in disbelief, if it weren’t for the goal of building rapport with the executive director, he would have re-educated him. After all, whether it’s an animal, an appliance, or a human, if they don’t listen, you just need to beat them.

The busy team leader raised his thick hand and smacked Ijin’s head. A ringing sound rang in Ijin’s ears until lunchtime, finally ceasing.

The rumor that the man not only hit people but ate them had a grotesque concreteness and circulated through the Colosseum like a living thing.

With no new people coming in, this place, lacking in gossip, was enlivened by stories about the new executive director.

“It’s bullshit, guys. If you eat human flesh, your head cracks open and you die.”

“In your head? What’s that about? Does the bone melt?”

“Not that head, you idiot, the brain.”

The goons, squatting with cigarettes in their mouths, particularly enjoyed this. They were enamored with things that were vaguely cruel and strong, which was no different from the rules of the animal kingdom.

By the way, why here next to the racetrack? Ijin, while brushing Clover’s coat, was annoyed by stories he neither wanted to hear nor was curious about.

“If the brain starts leaking out of the nose and mouth, how can you stay alive? To be a gangster, you need to be good at this. You need to bluff well to make people believe your bullshit and run away, that’s how you win without fighting. Got it?”

“Ho… you’re damn smart?”

“Ha… you idiots.”

To Ijin, both the boasting one and the one marveling at his intelligence seemed equally foolish.

However, while doing the simple task of grooming, he found himself focusing on that meaningless chatter, and Clover snorted, biting at Ijin’s hair.

“Oh, sorry. I’ll focus.”

But his apology became empty due to the following words.

“But one thing for sure, they say his dick is huge. And he doesn’t discriminate, sticks it in both men and women.”

“The executive director is a guy, right?! There’s no way he could be a woman?!”

A shocked voice followed. Before long, Ijin’s hand had stopped. Even as Clover swished her tail in dissatisfaction, Ijin’s attention was already beyond the makeshift wall.

“Kid, if there’s a hole to stick it in, what does it matter if it’s a man?”

“Ugh, fuck. Just thinking about having something like mine between my legs makes my dick die.”

Laughter like “uhahaha” spread around.

“You’re just a tiny dick, whether it dies or lives.”

Meaningless talk… He was embarrassed to have been momentarily distracted by such conversation. Ijin shook his head and moved to Clover’s hindquarters. The muscles were so firm they felt more like a wall than flesh. At least, they were sturdier than this crumbling racetrack. He truly felt sorry for keeping her in such a place.

“My greed.”

Ijin muttered bitterly.

Clover was supposed to be sold elsewhere, but Ijin insisted on bringing her here by adding more debt. It was an enormous sum. But when they said they’d turn her into horse jerky, he couldn’t just leave her. Clover was like family to him.

“But imagine Seon Ijin, that bastard, being like that. If you tape your dick up tight with blue tape and tell him to stick it in, I’d do it.”

Seon Ijin made a silent gagging gesture, “Urk.”

“Seon Ijin could do it.”

“If he ends up in the bottom ranks in the next match, they might drive him crazy.”

“Fuck, really? From today, I’ll pray with water. If you live here, your dick will rot.”

It might be better for humanity if it rotted off. Ijin scrubbed vigorously with the wet brush. Clover seemed to enjoy it, laughing “hehehe.”

“They say he’s a monster, but they don’t know his age or name… They say he can rip people’s mouths apart.”

Is he a bear? Tearing people apart. Ijin scoffed.

Rumors among thugs aren’t to be trusted. They’re always exaggerated. Their tales of accomplishments are as exaggerated as their boasts about the size of their dicks.

…Though, amidst all that, there might be some truth to it, especially with this executive director.

Ijin shook his head to dismiss the frivolous thoughts. He took out his MiMi and covered his ears with headphones. The tape was stretched from listening so much. The sad voice of the singer his grandmother liked played, and finally, the nonsense was no longer audible.
