“It hurts if you get hit in the groin, right?”d914d5007e1f837c

Kwon Hyeongdo seemed 268a314d89 to have the 5b8fbcc55a same thought. It hurt his 3bfad155b2 pride to think 71d597f8c9 he was on 2b389bb3e6 the same level 944cdee927 as that guy.a6cdd73ad307a09c

Seon Ijin glared at Kwon Hyeongdo like crazy at the sound of him scratching his head. Then he suddenly stood up. Kwon Hyeongdo chuckled and tugged at Ijin’s arm.75df5ac31251693c

“Maybe for you. Does it hurt? If you’re curious, why don’t you try getting hit?”11faae157b231b38

Ijin tried to shake off his hand roughly, but Kwon Hyeongdo just tilted his head to avoid it and didn’t let go of his grip. Jang Munyong, who was watching the two alternately, slammed the table with his big palm. Startled by the sound, Ijin reflexively curled up, even though it wasn’t painful enough to make him stand up.b8a17bb1384c4494

Words he couldn’t understand. But the unpleasant and sticky feeling clearly directed at him made Ijin slowly turn his head to look at Jang Munyong. Jang Munyong crossed his thick arms tightly and clicked his tongue.a16e8fb0764dc84b

Ijin finally spoke up long after getting into Kwon Hyeongdo’s car after leaving Trevi. He wasn’t shocked by Kwon Hyeongdo’s answer since he had a rough idea of what it would be, but it was enough to make his mood plummet.8aba2c41de78aca3

However, Ijin’s mood wasn’t Kwon Hyeongdo’s concern. Kwon Hyeongdo’s mind was racing. He licked his lips, still tasting the strong nicotine, as he thought about Incheon, Trevi, and the Colosseum.90bf0e3e2a1b3197

Executive Director Ma didn’t like the Colosseum. He thought it wasn’t profitable. He believed Chairman Choi wanted to turn the Colosseum into some kind of gangster art project. Because of that, Executive Director Ma’s influence didn’t reach the Colosseum. Or so he thought.c642333947a4c002

Trevi was out of the question. The relationship between Jang Munyong and Executive Director Ma was terrible. That left Incheon, but Kwon Hyeongdo didn’t have any connections there. Should he plant one? Who should he plant? Damn, he hated this kind of hassle.d694a7380c404608

“Why am I being picked? Huh? I gave you the spot, didn’t I? But now you’re turning it back on me?”23bddae1b2850f49

The chance that it started at Trevi was greatly reduced by today’s conversation. Jang Munyong genuinely seemed unaware. And even if he was pretending, knowing about Madam Ju’s involvement meant it wouldn’t go as Jang Munyong wanted.a7d4886fc9fb93ec

“Be quiet. Hey, I’m working right now. I’m thinking. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, should I give you something to bite on?”6a29aa671c9cf24b

The small face in his hand was warm. It was just annoying, not that he was genuinely angry. The warmth made Kwon Hyeongdo think about Ijin’s body, and it eased his mood.80b6891f7ed901b4

Should he really let him bite? Kwon Hyeongdo parked the car on the roadside while playing with Ijin’s face. By now, the sun had set, and the neon signs flashing “24-hour service available” and “Hot service available” flickered over their faces.dfee37336719820d

Even after parking, Kwon Hyeongdo kept playing with Ijin’s warmth. Because of his grip, Ijin was almost suffocating. His breathing became labored, and his lips were wet, making Kwon Hyeongdo’s palm damp as well.7ebbaf79fde8665b

Kwon Hyeongdo wiped his palm a7c402a67e on his pants and took 67ea5bbb19 out a cigarette. It was an American brand 34010a7065 he got from Jang Munyong. He casually tossed an American 2215cf82e1 condom that came out of f68d12e151 his pocket into the console 88b6213426 box, making Ijin flinch and 7929fc0f83 close his mouth.e7b37911971e0ea3

Kwon Hyeongdo lit two cigarettes 862f570310 at once and handed one f50dcf60e8 to Ijin. Caught off guard, Ijin took 67da69a076 a drag, but it was 71410dc762 noticeably different from what he 976e3c95d2 had smoked before. Despite coughing heavily, he stubbornly 835ae04fea took another drag. His head spun, and 5a0e6c5ea9 his throat felt like 3a6f5a8abc it had been punched.4cc94fe17c1264e8

Kwon Hyeongdo quietly smoked with fd83d5155c the window open and then 8d7895dd2d drove back to the Colosseum. About two minutes 770ce05a3c before they arrived, ebaa49b64f Kwon Hyeongdo spoke.f4d608aeabd65219

The guys high on drugs weren’t hungry. They weren’t sleepy either. The fried chicken was left untouched, but the ‘salt’ was all gone. Kwon Hyeongdo found Ijin quite admirable in many ways. Ijin had become an excellent bait. Even without seasoning, he looked appetizing, and with seasoning, he looked even more so.3ed4dc72a5cdc5fb
