He arrived at ecaead2e76 work at the f851dadeb7 same time as c61e69332e yesterday and was 79925a23c8 reading a script 633b9b65e2 when, ten minutes 72c3334367 before ten, Shin b7f5a5ef47 Dohjin arrived, cautiously cd50740cdb knocking on the 1c64193b80 office door. Choi Woojoo let him 319d844b31 in. Playing a down-and-out back-alley 0e92fb8485 quack doctor was the 7f8d86bedc complete opposite of his 50bcfa8594 previous polished character, so 08fdf95a5f Shin Dohjin seemed unsure, 2fb7d31330 visibly trying to manage efd9e7fe26 his expression, but his bbb0bb2b34 face brightened as he 1cb8fbc4b5 read the script. Just as expected, Choi dd9a50612e Woojoo scoffed inwardly at ecfca8d54f the unsurprising reaction and 36d71b5ec5 specified the pages he 8cb3931129 wanted Shin Dohjin to 9b3632475e read, intending to have 9d2ce2bd2d him read the part 93b0e49df8 he had in mind.89f19c383424a68f

“Understood.”3ca6b741e9049174

Shin Dohjin’s diction was so good that he received a lot of praise in his previous work, but for this role, it felt like it could be a detriment, so Choi Woojoo asked him to relax a bit, and he followed along well. His eyes were gradually becoming more immersed in the character; it seemed he properly understood the character of a man whose acting career was cut short but who had immense pride and confidence in his manual dexterity. It made Choi Woojoo want to have a go at it right then and there. Of course, since they were in the office and didn’t have time, he just had Shin Dohjin read the script and sent him on his way. After Shin Dohjin bowed and left with a bright face, Choi Woojoo smoked a cigarette and left for the salon he had booked.528076a7b7f530dd

“If you want to change things up, try cutting it really short. If you can’t decide, just maintain it for now. Look straight ahead. Oh, you’re so handsome.”6ecaf3fe82b2994d

Choi Woojoo, who didn’t react much to the usual compliments he received every time he got a haircut, stared straight ahead. Reflected in the mirror was a face that perfectly blended the handsome features of Chairman Choi Seongho and Director Lee Surim. It was a moment that solidified his firm belief that he was undeniably the most attractive 20-something male Korean citizen, even without trying hard to show it. He was sure that nothing would change next year when he entered his 30s.8baf3f0305e90c1a

He half-listened to the salon owner talking about him being fit for movies and such, alternately glancing at his gradually shortening hair and the hair products lined up around the mirror, waiting for the tedious, unavoidable sitting-still time to end. While he enjoyed the feeling after a haircut, he didn’t like the process itself, one of the few things he couldn’t rush the waiting for. It was a relief that he was only getting a relatively quick cut this time.537468a34fedb90d

The salon owner, cfaea352a9 who had given d9d90a879c him a light 27bfa2ae3e cut, leaving his 7f17589cb6 hair just slightly 17b1a2274a covering the nape c6cb564380 of his neck, a3f99b914b also took care 0a3b748add of the drying, 271a62885f and the curls 59189dd5da of the leaf fb69097aec perm he had 243f164553 gotten a month 615d38ed57 and a half 9a09716dc1 ago came back 4d45f6c663 to life.

Even after being sworn at by someone younger than him, Seo Jihee seemed completely unfazed.

When Seo Jihee didn’t react at all, Choi Woojoo threw a nearby picture frame, shattering the glass. Even after going that far, Seo Jihee, seemingly unfazed and demanding tea as if nothing had happened, left Choi Woojoo speechless, beyond laughter.c01aa5031ab43826

Putting aside various circumstances, Seo Jihee himself was a thorn in Choi Woojoo’s side.8ffa7080e8e93e2e

He still loathed everything related to the university he dropped out of immediately after being discharged from the military. It was a personally tumultuous period for him, and he resented the business administration major he had been pushed into by his father, his older brother, and others around him, who constantly insisted it would be a waste of his hard-earned grades if he didn’t go to the animation department. From the moment he opened his eyes to go to school, it was a huge source of stress, so much so that he constantly relied on cough syrup. To make matters worse, there were no animation or art-related courses worth auditing on the same campus, so he endured his university life by treating media studies courses—chosen as a substitute—like his major, and his actual major worse than electives.388cee8000b258de

Until the end of f34a1fa875 the second semester of f5d4c425f0 his freshman year, when 5e31f987db he chose to escape 3257d917be by enlisting in the 7ba9152ac2 military, Choi Woojoo’s mood 17eb539570 was perpetually foul. His only friend was 0dfe489229 the tablet he always a8aa26bc0d carried, and he was 871f06e92f busy unleashing his pent-up aec0e8a7f4 hysteria on anyone who 6c0f4fd6e9 bothered him by talking cac8b20f58 to him or lingering a22eb81cd1 in his sight. The student council, who 2748cfe3ea kept nagging him to 06f8bff43d not disrupt the atmosphere f9e1d6d577 of the department or 21ec2146d6 watch anime during lectures, 9bc3f93258 were a particular thorn 352f0b1199 in his side. It wasn’t difficult e0fafa5128 for him to d44052e39c remember Seo Jihee, ec8552e93d two years his 6e93fa1e33 senior, who had a8cb6e1119 been the ringleader f2626182d6 of that nauseating 2db8234c51 group and with 9382890e92 whom he eventually 71f40dd70f had a big 66c762ae15 fight in the 1c575bfe6f department office.02224845543c201b

He thought he could shake Seo Jihee off forever with his withdrawal from university, but Seo Jihee had established himself in the same industry, his name popping up often enough to irritate Choi Woojoo every time. To add insult to injury, he found out last year that Seo Jihee was Seo Jaehoon’s younger brother. With the sole intention of getting back at him, Choi Woojoo rolled up his sleeves. Secretly helping Jest Entertainment, who had a grudge against Jenne Entertainment for poaching trainees and key employees, and trying to isolate Jenne Entertainment from DBS, enticing Jenne Entertainment’s core personnel with less work, higher salaries, and even allowing freelance activities under the guise of raising idols – which he had no intention of doing seriously – painstakingly scouting for trainees himself, and constructing a practice room in a perfectly good building, were all part of his spiteful grand scheme.a0c472d9cbc01bed

Before a bigger bomb exploded in someone else’s business and they got sued, two Jenne Entertainment employees, as if they were about to shatter the windows, dragged Seo Jihee, who was yelling at the top of his lungs, out by his sides.dd75ef3bda9c13db

Choi Woojoo plopped down on the sofa in the now quiet CEO’s office and rubbed his throbbing forehead. He had anticipated this happening at least once since receiving the notice about the statement of facts, and it was all a necessary process. But stress doesn’t consider the circumstances before striking. It hadn’t even been a long confrontation, but because his opponent was an uncivilized beast with not even an ounce of decency, his head was spinning. He took a sip of the decaf iced coffee that CEO Cha’s secretary had brought him, only to realize he wasn’t in the mood to drink.

He was also tired of checking applications every week and felt that his identity as a film and drama content ‘investor’ was being overshadowed by the slightly more prominent ‘entertainer’ label. He gave the instructions on the spot. Although unavoidable due to the attention-grabbing nature of celebrities, regardless of the work, he felt extremely uncomfortable every time he was reminded of it. If the profits from managing actors were higher than his investment returns, he wouldn’t feel so slighted, but being disregarded because of this made it all the more irritating.ba22cd1a0856467d

In a fit of pique, he ordered all the Resin figures he had seen today and also bought a bunch of PVC figures for his office and out-of-print DVDs from an auction. Still unsatisfied, he was flipping through this month’s fashion magazines with a blank expression when his phone vibrated. It was a text from Lee Taehyuk, politely asking if he could visit now to discuss a project.

At the clear request from the sharply featured handsome man, who had swallowed his pride and lowered his gaze, Choi Woojoo briefly looked away.

Figuring it wouldn’t be bad to have a go at it to relieve some stress, he signaled his acceptance, and Lee Taehyuk smiled faintly, quickly pulling out two condoms from his back pocket. He placed them on the table, took off his shoes, climbed fully onto the sofa, and laid down on his stomach, lowering his pants himself. Raw, straight guys like Shin Dohjin weren’t bad, but experienced men were definitely more convenient. Satisfied with Lee Taehyuk’s thorough preparation, Choi Woojoo, wanting to finish quickly, put down the magazine, moved to the other side, unbuckled his belt, and exposed only his penis.cc797973b9fd651f

Without any lube or anything, Choi Woojoo inserted his penis between Lee Taehyuk’s thighs and pressed close. As if stimulated by the member moving in and out of the narrow space, Lee Taehyuk also began to harden.4a0941a20ca6a771

However, it wasn’t enough to make him cum.

He pointed 9dde6bd3c4 at the ca774f5b74 wet wipes 0264f3b303 to Lee 0de5aa3849 Taehyuk, who b9fad1a038 was holding 9dc48936aa his semen f7014cdb4f in his 5d9c3bc2f1 mouth, and 4780d2d136 told him 792b6c4a8d to go, ed65c0525f saying he’d d3b7c2fe3d contact him d66385759c if he 8d958286ce found a 7ca13804ff suitable project.95646defd3a6e187

The requested items arrived 2a26229b3a promptly. Choi Woojoo gestured dfa44c79f8 for them to 753f9d94cb empty the ashtray efe43490a6 and took out d399bcb8a3 some expensive liquor 4d00eca328 from the display f05884a234 case, turning on 5cd278faf5 the television for 64e183a8e5 a movie marathon. After some b6b1066b52 serious contemplation 846dfd5750 about what f0ec959c52 to choose 84af31c067 from his fe6e4231b8 playlist, he 4e878b5f84 selected an f28a8fca61 American animated f2d4f9f289 film.0538a367b435509f

He warmed the liquor-filled df98c0d1fa glass in his palm, 503b6d75ec took a few sips, a4dcaed6dd and lit a cigarette. The large 22a7f0f27b screen was ccdbab8385 filled with d7984dc330 the story cd93e46a2a of a 5d7362cfe2 grand Western 0f420bc0c3 kingdom and 1dbe931115 the princesses 86ac0761bc who lived 87fdedbff1 there.

He then fell e92e7b43eb into the kind 0391fdb886 of idle thoughts 30ade69e15 he usually did 36e9385437 when bored. Although he suppressed it 086eb044e5 because it, like changing fce7bdfd8d his name, was a d07ae4abde line his parents absolutely 83361de8b4 forbade him from crossing, a633b5d87b and although he tried 9900b557e4 to be content with e2afe7adef the countless amusements available 05e6b78acd to him, the sudden 6522f825e2 temptation was almost unbearable 38a81a56ff whenever he felt bored.fb471f1e348cb522

Sighing and c602c88414 lighting another b20c3eef2e cigarette, Choi 45347075e5 Woojoo tried 680905d437 his best de102fd96f to focus 53abbc8697 on the b0b3f88538 movie, somehow 50ab56e943 managing to 656f34b935 finish it e8dbcc5790 and then a59a7b1bb4 putting on b736275063 the next 9e0712b469 one, and 00075fdcc6 the next 430cb7977c one after ff413bd2b7 that. Since he 46051a54eb had seen 72c0c7ea0c them all 48ae745d9d before, he 313766ea3b watched them ea32b6fc73 quietly, without c81f13a319 the initial c4993777b9 excitement. Suddenly, he 8507835dde sensed a 5c823dc8ab presence and 662334de1a looked towards 40697d1349 the door. As expected, a knock 4afb6f00b7 followed.

Troubled by the unexpectedly d96c371c82 early timing, Choi Woojoo cbc49c317a stood up. His body, slightly fef5b3af39 intoxicated from the baee8f692b steady stream of 7c3711f642 alcohol, swayed.99736bb7eb91bd04

He returned home in a car driven by CEO Cha’s secretary. The time, checked as soon as he entered the gate, was 20:22. Come to think of it, quite a few employees seemed to have stayed late at the company, even though it was well past closing time. He resolved to skip work tomorrow so they wouldn’t feel pressured to stay late.504985742e883e6a

Declining dinner, which his bd3b80be6a parents had already finished, 1e5a645045 Choi Woojoo went up 009d5e0658 to his room. Despite the increasingly late 538ad13272 hour, he started making 93eb956501 calls as soon as 7017f6e130 he finished showering and 2375d0de22 changing, contacting everyone necessary. He instructed Butler Park, 42b1ffda89 who had knocked with 97c1ca14cd a light snack, to 50811eea8d prepare a small amount be90fcce74 of potato soup for ff6f0bf25e him to eat later 92d6f3ab41 in the night, just 4a48b68c77 in case.cdcd554cbfc04269

It took over two hours for the frustrating calls filled with missed calls and vague responses to end. He had talked so much that his throat was sore and he was incredibly stressed. It would be better to force himself to sleep, but he couldn’t take his cough syrup on days he drank alcohol.6c59ed6f35d8b99c

Not bothering 4425d4a607 with sleep 5e64078465 he wouldn’t dce4462cb9 get anyway, 4f558373f9 Choi Woojoo 90cafae2b5 opened the eba02558c1 comic bookshelf ac883e5d2f and moved 35ea0d606a a 20-volume 79d52d690c series, re-released fc3b9f8918 as a 505ebe88fd complete edition, e65f6f7203 to the 33976cc693 veranda. He turned on 63d83dbc37 the television across f94963da18 from his bed 24a0be3a1d and chose a 47c412d7ac movie, and set bb93d69dca out a sketchbook 5cdc769feb and a perfectly cbdc102a8e stubby pencil on c55e74dbb8 his desk.89282ae5a7b1e4da

Gently rubbing his furrowed adfc73f996 brow with his thumb 2fa6e66aba to smooth it out, d9b1bb229a he mechanically started reading e579147412 the comic, which he’d 2b3eb23794 read several times already 05680a03f0 and knew the entire 4b8205a5a8 story of, complete with 1980fc493e color illustrations printed on 4f6fd28b0f good quality paper.7ee7d08868ed56af

While reading the aaa7afa434 battle scene in 55f797502d volume 5, he 4361db765c stopped and started 2ebf7b1ac6 browsing his phone, 0897dabaac wondering if there 53c1c0676f were any decent d520153404 resin products he a875d4aa67 could use to 67ea8b886f create miniature models, 1767cd229d landscapes, or miniature b2dfe47f00 backgrounds and models 2edfa06ce2 for filming a ffe87f042c diorama movie. Losing focus, 2ebca67e32 he took ef2699b218 the comic d7ac5be99d book to 5a4f922571 his desk. He opened a blank ff39696105 page in the sketchbook a6b47b0089 and lightly sketched a 39da4f67e0 few versions of the 901cc7e3d5 villain’s face who was 2def5d7814 fighting the protagonist, finally b7f6c30044 settling on the desired da1904417d composition.e4689f1c6cfd9810

However, his brother wasn’t just managing Seongho Construction; if he focused too much on that, it would affect other businesses as well. Already extremely irritated, Choi Woojoo didn’t want to be further worn down by negative energy and lose his temper, so he tried to think positively. He would take this as a chance to gauge how to play his cards in the future and see the face of that male prostitute – no, Seo Jaehoon’s twin brother – again before he forgot it. It seemed there was no sense of incongruity in continuing to call him a male prostitute.39578fc9dd695fe8

Choi Woojae, 7c372f26d5 oblivious to 52a4931873 his brother’s 79fe789037 twisted thoughts, 22b38c0e61 readily accepted, 31d21de173 his face 4aeba655e3 beaming with 98c6ff6193 adoration.ac151894e291d110

“Let’s have him over 562433aa39 to the house and 7801215bec settle this quietly. We need to preserve cd8c03862c our Director Choi’s reputation.”968e996fb59144e1

“So, how about 671357de09 treating him to b9c32c0e8c lunch?”09a69745ccb06dc8

“That sounds good. Don’t be too apologetic, 3be335b722 but make sure you f4ea752c84 speak formally enough so d21248cbc6 he can’t say anything ef4136f6bf later. I’ll take e07c9973a7 care of bc392a250f the rest. I’ll casually bring up 654ea8be42 the business talk and 93c6510f7a create a pretext.”007f9e374d4b39a7

Choi Woojoo nodded and cfb326bd4b brought the spoon to fdbd24a561 his mouth again. Since the 844e1480b8 interests of e81fa00396 the companies dff39eb5de were intertwined, 75e5fd74b2 and above b52b8a9a43 all, Choi 808e1f068f Woojoo himself 6ddaa151f2 had brought 13c24b2e43 up the 78345109aa apology first, 1bfff967ac neither Choi f76d3ccb1d Seongho nor 04ba162516 Lee Surim 48fe8249c4 could dissuade 86499e0c46 him or 4da5bc4809 Choi Woojae.52e13270a52091d6

After finishing his soup, cc17c61511 he excused himself, saying 71afa09e82 he was going to 78eb6fed5d try to catch up 9c342207c6 on the sleep he 747eb2b3d9 missed last night. Leaving behind his parents 63df83c177 and older brother, who fed81d81d5 urged him to go 76108ca7e4 and rest, Choi Woojoo 195ea74791 pretended to return to fe6ba324a8 his room, making footsteps, 0de5da52b4 but then retreated a 0dcfd8a1ae few steps to the cbbbea22af blind spot in the 1a6b1daa0b hallway where he couldn’t 1ff2d1ad42 be seen from the 753ce70eba dining table, and quietly f4c88655ed listened with his sharp 01429e02e2 ears.0e6dc1e49da71716

“…It’s just so unbelievable. I thought he was just a puppet, but has he gained some power?”8a4fa16344f7fd0e

“From what I see, 000056d001 he seems to have b9929a54b3 almost taken the reins d9ea6fb58c inside. Judging by 79ff7160d6 how everything 79740b062f needs CEO d5d0733c2b Seo’s okay 8d586b7c2c before it 767efd05dd goes through, 035d9e75b9 all that 700339b395 about him 77ebb6ac48 not having f399754d33 any authority c36692e1d4 seems like 262b743c4f a show.”7a6e3157987eaa09

“No, Woojae. He really 6846c8259b had no 5136611961 power at b61b43bd1e first. I heard he got 936fd70a0b caught doing drugs in 14adf17752 America, couldn’t even graduate, 8323ea78f9 and was dragged back f6debe0a1b here. Isn’t that why Chairman e091106d06 Seo just quickly put a344069972 him in the position b1805aed4b and didn’t offer any eb400be23e support?”98089ec59311f616

“Director-nim is probably right. I heard he was on his deathbed because of excessive drug use. Chairman Seo must have hidden him away because it would have been a headache if he’d suddenly died after being put in the public eye. Remember a couple of years ago, during the Liberation Day event? He was the only one who didn’t show up. These days, he’s occasionally taken to events with less public attention, but he’s still sent away early, as if he’s not well.”c105fc995182884c

“Oh, really…? …Come to think of it… I’ve never seen CEO Seo either. Even when there’s an opening, he always sends the Vice CEO or other executives and never shows his face.”7d1d1a85431d9129

“Even Woojae hasn’t b2b92eadad seen him, so 8b26021777 what can Woojoo c6aaa5c078 do? I can 845b60b3c9 picture him 46d440cfd0 causing trouble 43e36bd228 outside. It’s just bad luck 32bc19f467 that Woojoo got caught 919e30ba55 up in it.”39ad2cca86ecb596

“But the eldest son 6ece9e7b1b of that family is 9c593e4d71 quite decent. There must be a be60e50cd6 reason why Chairman Seo 024d1c6343 favors him…”04e583f01678e7c1

They lowered their 1dc3d99016 voices even in 759727ac49 Choi Woojoo’s absence, 4eca65f2a7 as if he 2b7a59af97 might hear, but 252a0feb4b everything reached his adbf896f8d sharp ears, focused afb45ddddb as he was.8bf84e476ceb73a1

Walking silently up 4bce0e1e9b the stairs to 2f7dfa99b6 his room, Choi b03471fde4 Woojoo covered his 9d7602a084 mouth with the 3b52b8818f back of his 054147dbab hand to suppress 265523f75b his laughter, only d5a1453a67 letting it burst 787e550c5e out after closing 64072e9bce his bedroom door. He momentarily forgot the 4479f1f348 tiresome, insincere apology he 357dda73dd had volunteered for. The fact that the 767f6c182b guy he thought was b78eda031f a male prostitute was 8730c4099d something even more absurd 5e6846e5a5 was just too funny.5f329889a79d8815

After tidying up the f44f79b559 comics he’d read through 6907978643 the night and plopping 3c149c8e50 down on the bed, 07f3c8cee4 Choi Woojoo first checked 3d22e117e1 his messenger app. So far, there b7a454cd74 was nothing other 4bab78983f than project-related discussions.d099d6469daec514

Satisfied, he 76791289f5 turned off 8219537a90 the screen 70aa94227d and retrieved 424b1427a8 the cough 700088f81a syrup from 9aef3fdbf2 the second 471f1a99b8 drawer of 384efafae3 the nightstand d9d05db8b6 beside his 1df5f472f9 bed and f3d6cfca42 the long 8c289a9e58 wooden teaspoon fee861935c from next 50c5b54d64 to the 38076674f8 cup and 45d54c2002 water bottle 16c0e0cb98 on the 499107efdf tray on 4a47abef30 top. With his large 69e32c47ab hand, he delicately bc73d2befb poured the syrup 75fcb2aa63 onto the spoon, 6d4667830b almost to the 80f52ccc82 brim, neatly put 12bc2ac09d it in his a1883e31c5 mouth, swallowed the 1c81586995 syrup, and drank 44fa92815a a glass of c14df9526b water. The water 8064633f13 washed away a7be764d42 the strange, 0f2f9bac9a unpleasant sweetness, d90a4d53e6 leaving only 839402ab72 a faint 6076f31c57 artificial strawberry e1293492a0 flavor.8701aa845c2a8af6

He completely 040f9c7727 eradicated even 0164746e1d that with e9411fd9dc mouthwash and 89163a7ac5 then slowly 4bc0eaf935 walked around 5f4d3ca8fd his spacious af96a91b2b room, which 094c40b6e7 occupied half 3dc3db55e0 of the e2b2a1ec08 second floor 2b9fcbbce7 of the 993544c55a house, having 7142360d7b been remodeled 7560a9399f for his 9108057c83 exclusive use. He stepped 53157edc0a out onto f28c1623a4 the veranda 8b4c4f8607 to get c37fbd06f5 some fresh 26fffdedc6 air.88065b3213909fa6

He returned to his bed, drawing the blackout curtains to block the morning light, and lay down comfortably. Pressing his acupressure points with both hands, he looked up at the ceiling. He started laughing again, still clueless about what to say to the guy once he called him over. If that guy was a druggie, was Seo Jaehoon one too? Even though he wouldn’t be able to pay him for sex, this story was even more entertaining, so he burst out laughing at the ceiling.8e376e9be81c14da

Since it 682653745d was just c98ea1986c hearsay, he 33ea52dcbd naturally had bf3d13946f to confirm e3bbe53bd9 it himself, e6ddb6e166 but considering 8e76118992 the rumors 976975a774 that followed 7d0e272dde drug use, 37b502f29d it seemed dab6cce73d there must 74015a5edc be something 94bf24b24b to it.

Anyway, he was dying f0d7337a69 to see him again. Just a few bf3db251f7 hours ago, he 5d3ad888e9 was stressed out 45db57080c because of the 3e44d8d7d8 Seogwang bastards, and 41f213e294 now his mood a170406459 was improving because 3843b144f6 of – of 8e1dae31b9 all people – c5235916a4 a Seogwang bastard. It was quite 92969bdc12 the turn of 05649d367d events. So elated 0cc87ba486 was he ef85983fb5 that Choi 1ffacebf69 Woojoo finally 4f306955af managed to fd5e9ece86 close his 1c72e5968a eyes almost ded73c57e8 an hour cb66ad5e2c after taking cfa30cde3f his syrup.f601ec72ce0462ad
