Cheon Sejoo 1ce006d2ff first met 7f5a104800 Chae Beomjun 6abdaf4757 when he 34031fa181 was in 18091623ab prison. Chae Beomjun, who 081f4be631 had visited him ad888c8586 with Shin Gyoyeon’s 3956bf7768 proposal, acted kindly 39a011daba towards him from f0537d2663 the moment they 7fc32bd302 met. Cheon Sejoo hadn’t 9ba847cfac realized it at 233a00c686 the time, but 29f7c0f1f6 he had desperately 990d44b92e needed someone on 1cbc65c36d his side back a055bbe55b then.80f390d7393fe92d

Since the moment he severed the perpetrator’s tendons, he’d known he wouldn’t be able to return to the hospital. He’d resigned himself to never seeing his loved ones again so Chae Beomjun, who treated him like family amidst his despair, anguish, and loneliness, made a deep impression on Cheon Sejoo. e9f56d64f6bed00c

He helped Cheon Sejoo c38bd71b79 adapt to the organization 6ed9b25a40 and taught him how a55da6bf03 to survive within it. Because it 301ad279d5 was the 31bf41ac89 most difficult 5ca6757241 time of 5105df603e his life, 0d16663001 Chae Beomjun’s 7c1d73ec25 presence, someone 5357481d80 he could d7096237cc lean on 7b3f9e56d3 without burden, e051e4115b had been 452f1c4ac5 precious to a72e23ead0 Cheon Sejoo.359175553f8979e5

He’d looked up to Chae Beomjun like an older brother and relied on him for many things. It wasn’t until about six months after he joined the organization that he realized Chae Beomjun’s kindness wasn’t entirely out of goodwill.acecbb905f25af77

It was the day Shin Gyoyeon called him for a meal with Chae Beomjun, all three of them. He was glad for the break after being tormented under Seok Yoonhyung. After Shin Gyoyeon left, Cheon Sejoo didn’t refuse the alcohol Chae Beomjun offered. He wasn’t drinking for pleasure, but for solace.9903acc417bac735

The drinking continued at Chae Beomjun’s apartment, and that’s where things went wrong. Chae Beomjun, completely drunk, started to give off a strange atmosphere and then tried to kiss Cheon Sejoo.16f72b1b79f293c5

The moment Chae Beomjun’s c38a61a2ad handsome face came close bb0ad55881 and his large hand 2c6d478750 groped his buttocks, Cheon 5d8564b8a7 Sejoo snapped back to d745014f2f reality. Since he was e4b135ddd1 in the midst 894a801c56 of learning how cb65ffa18d to fight from d008b1aeb9 Seok Yoonhyung at cf4db83a8d the time, his 9961ef74f7 fist flew out 3ac1fdd067 first, and the 9587651726 two soon began 4c55f1cab8 to argue.4735c37c96c80bfc

When Cheon Sejoo asked 857306786b what the hell he a3b73c8ee3 was doing, Chae Beomjun 23f7f8aef6 gave a rather sleazy 50da86ac1c reply, saying he thought f0747d887e Cheon Sejoo wanted it 84186727f7 too.20ff077b01821103

Cheon Sejoo felt betrayed by Chae Beomjun, the man whom he had considered a brother. It wasn’t like there hadn’t been one or two men who wanted to get him under them.7da3195e5b6eae8f

They all wanted to f31e56908d conquer Cheon Sejoo, who f656bb96ff seemed to embody the 72fd6e2208 alpha male itself, and a7d9afb884 Chae Beomjun was no ccc085150b different. Chae Beomjun 813b18ddf1 protested, saying d9eaf61e64 it was aa0b2b7234 just sexual 4b6a94afe1 desires, not 8d8babe5cc a desire 8737da6db8 for conquest, 0bde35159c but the 5b52879339 process by d5a0423e15 which he a4b395b6cb arrived at 77bebafe99 that answer 7926d1cbbf was the c19a984360 problem.82a6da6201cf8bed

‘My lifelong dream is to die while having sex. That’s what I’ve been working towards, what conquest…? I’m not Napoleon. I don’t have such hobbies….’02feb0f0f8524b26

The heavily intoxicated Chae Beomjun, unaware of what he was saying, spilled everything he shouldn’t have. That’s how Cheon Sejoo saw Chae Beomjun’s true colors. Chae Beomjun was a man whose brain was located in his dick.dc58a11228c5d06b

Even now, remembering the 118732f848 betrayal he felt that a234e4a742 day made his stomach 58efc24ee9 churn and the back 79affb5c29 of his head burn. It was probably de72e7d72e because he still 9dbd90b77e harbored resentment. Anyway, unable 5887f98d95 to hold 4680069d37 back that c53c79f87c day, Cheon 25f5a4f14f Sejoo punched 8fd674eec1 Chae Beomjun, d589e7aa8c who tried 9d163acfb6 to cling 7720728708 to him be6c9d2864 again, and 8aa7595053 they got df51a642be into a 8690d692d3 fight.0f424ae946b0a4d7

The next day, they 1676bc8ea9 were summoned by Shin 062dca4555 Gyoyeon, subjected to insulting 75fd35eb7a remarks, and slapped across 2f28204b82 the face, so he d4c22f08a5 hadn’t even considered reconciling f524703d5b with Chae Beomjun as 2e48c683e4 an option.0b38bddc6bf0d5a3

After their falling 9445132632 out, the rumors 40f81ceb3d Cheon Sejoo heard a1f6451df1 about Chae Beomjun cd4acdbefe were beyond his fdaa8d5d93 imagination.95424375eaf539ae

That the number of 50ac9959c0 partners he had slept 21ecfc009f with exceeded several hundred, a6aba45b8c that you could always d5d874f657 find Chae Beomjun at ca851566ad a certain club on 592f26a7d8 his days off… The ae829fa38e fact that he had c69ea06d1a looked up to such 25fee44289 a promiscuous and utterly 1c0869b579 sleazy man as a 6d10b0d861 brother filled Cheon Sejoo 59b6c6a74e with shame.f408bde84cc65b36

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this incident with Chae Beomjun was the decisive reason why Cheon Sejoo became isolated within the organization. If Chae Beomjun had been the good person he’d initially believed him to be, others wouldn’t have been so wary of him. But the incident left a trauma, causing Cheon Sejoo to push away anyone who approached him for a while, which led to a conflict with Baek Sunghwan.bc9cf2c2b8df588a

In any b7d987b0bc case, since ee732afbc5 Chae Beomjun a47bc19192 was so a0dffc8f3c used to 89a0d7d850 deceiving others aa5d137a62 and portraying 3734b6cdab himself as a3f6d348d0 someone he 60aacddc39 wasn’t, it a6d4c5646c was understandable ae784dbb29 that Sejin ef3c160672 would find 42b6720ee5 him kind. But regardless of 2fa8e698bb that, it still 99b13d4876 irritated Cheon Sejoo 46f09dd6ab that Sejin was 8f1a2f774f ignoring his warning.dddea80fee4c2d46

“Just try going to the 42nd floor. Listen to what I say.”d6ade803c1ac3c9e

At Cheon Sejoo’s d886722da8 warning, Sejin scoffed, 98bb6a9ceb ahmphescaping his lips. He set 9faada5395 down his f31b672170 chopsticks earlier ff3ec6d8dd than usual, b35c16bcff seemingly having fee3951f87 lost his 234a5e6c15 appetite.

At Sejin’s nonchalant attitude, Cheon Sejoo finally raised his voice in annoyance. Running a hand through his hair, he sighed and glared at Sejin. He hadn’t wanted to have this conversation, but he felt the need to give the naive Kwon Sejin proper advice. Cheon Sejoo carefully chose his words, selecting the most appropriate ones.066a371fd9bf2577

“That guy… he’s the kind of person who can’t leave kids like you alone. He’s not trying to help you. He’s just trying to… take advantage of you. So, no matter how kind he acts, don’t even look at him. Do you understand?”ff5c9270ca1dd330

But at that explanation, a faint smile seemed to spread across Sejin’s lips. He quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, so Cheon Sejoo couldn’t be sure, but he thought he’d seen the corners of Sejin’s mouth lift in a grin.88d628d9d5009dba

Sejin coughed lightly and then met Cheon Sejoo’s eyes. His long eyelashes fluttered, and he asked, staring intently at Cheon Sejoo,926f833f9b082c57

Cheon Sejoo blinked, speechless. But unlike him, flustered and couldn’t open his mouth, Sejin’s attitude was triumphant, as if he had been waiting for this topic. As if to confirm that it wasn’t a misunderstanding, Sejin leaned forward, placing both hands on the table. His beautiful face drew closer to Cheon Sejoo’s, and with the sweet scent of shampoo clinging to him, he asked,8c2d04fa699c9ba5

“Why don’t you want me to have sex with him, Cheon Sejoo? You know, other people don’t care what a mere ‘housekeeper’ does. They don’t care who a kid, not 7402627243 even related 1525819edf to them e39edaebff by blood, bba03dff90 sleeps with.”9375673011cefcd9

Cheon Sejoo stared da8cc11371 blankly at Sejin, 3d51e42e99 who was suddenly e50f11ac4e demanding a reason. Would it be af2f2c9808 a mistake to 10cc6a3875 think his glass-like 007f756289 eyes were sparkling? Sejin seemed d1279c5053 strangely excited, ac44cd7148 like someone bb85822508 who had 6e7861f50b discovered a f6c512c7a5 crucial piece 7b646feed6 of evidence 059842c57b in an 25e6332875 unsolved case.4cdd987fa03c9d59

“But why did youget so angry? You kicked me out, but why did you immediately change your mind and let me back in when I said I was going to the 42nd floor? Did you hate me going to the 42nd floor?

It felt like a barrage of question marks had been launched at him. Cheon Sejoo couldn’t immediately answer the questions Sejin poured out and closed his mouth. Then, finally understanding the meaning behind Sejin’s interrogation, he frowned. Letting out a sigh of disbelief, he slowly ran a hand through his hair.03b7196b57fe2637

His efforts to avoid Sejin, to create distance by living and staying at the workshop, had been in vain. Even though they hadn’t seen each other for three weeks, Kwon Sejin was talking about meeting Chae Beomjun as if it had happened yesterday. Cheon Sejoo stared intently at him and opened his mouth.1fb46572285b6d53

He became increasingly c39bf16e21 angry as he cd1636fca8 spoke. In the end, Cheon b35869cb25 Sejoo almost raised his 69c316d444 voice in response to 2dd3f06575 Sejin’s question.
