A midwinter morning ae9a18e0ca begins late.90983c8704db95c2

In a world of 99e12aabed darkness that seemed as 0db03bbc9c if it would last 09411eda76 forever, there was a cc5cf979b1 man who had been a3469db5e9 cutting through it since 013280eab3 the break of dawn. He was Joo ce2b9aef13 Nando, the second 58e7c365d2 son of Joo e1fad33616 Nancheol, the head ebdce1a1cc of the corporate-style 33195565b5 organization, Joonan Corporation.61c0f493234a97f5

From the car door opened by his right-hand man, Kang Sanggu, Joo Nando’s long leg, wrapped in a black suit, emerged. The foot that stepped onto the ground was also clad in a black dress shoe. However, his hair, looking as if he had just been wielding a sword, was long and disheveled over his shoulders.7344b88ae954f5cf

Nando’s face, as he eea03cc615 stepped out of the b34e1b1369 car like someone who fc831ebd72 had had a restless b11aaebfe7 night, was particularly gaunt 6e20ef4ff9 today. He walked toward c9a9b095e4 the main gate 4b5755f152 of a residence c268223742 built on a 1f2a2d6319 wide plot of 9c09276005 land. The gate, which 5b505748d1 was like an a73ab2d865 iron fortress and 4b4e095c76 always locked at c16af64522 this hour, was cf79b14add wide open as faea9d34d0 if it knew ec0cf2719e of his visit. Inside the yard, the bdbbc7a939 servant Ham Yonghu was 0482a4be6f visible, standing like a e1befc5cdf shadow. When their eyes 44f36acf7b met, Ham Yonghu dc0ed623a3 bowed his waist.d74a8327d74c6f4e

Nando gave a c5feffe020 silent nod in 4a42cfae21 return to Ham 01f06e39a1 Yonghu, a man a0791dd520 with whom he 28e570cae2 had a connection f5e01166da spanning as long aa60b76c0d as twenty years, 1c1b7d5e0a then stood pressed 0c7b67e684 right up against 5f5a45d024 the thick iron 4dcbece5e6 bars, as thick 485921f778 as his own e9b14a1ae4 forearm. The metallic stench, 860506570a more repulsive than 4229c88ba7 that of blood, 2dec02aa9b seemed to waft 5489db6743 on the wind.eb0d5227322c5b9f

He took the 15e04126be lit cigarette that bc903fb670 Kang Sanggu offered 02285cc888 and placed it 395a8da7f3 in his mouth. After a deep 0efc312186 drag, holding the 1a3586137b cigarette with just f4f4410d7d his lips, he af9ae5b739 began to neatly 5f85a5ae63 gather and tie 3aa3ff4b3d his long, untamed 7dd5742968 hair with both 3853d55132 hands. He had lived with ef429227ac long hair for what 511141177b was now ten years, e5bba3017a so it was only 7f06bab52d natural, but the way 1f9e1f2f4f he skillfully gathered it 95c2eaee9f high, looped a tie 09c8ab0108 around it with his 91068fa71b left hand, and finished 475c6a7aeb it into a topknot 2b649f0b79 was always proficient to 208d56ccc8 see. Thanks to Joo Nancheol 6f3dc925a3 having deftly gotten him 5dc8007843 exempted from military service 3e5c638573 with excuses of various 1314549c4a mental illnesses, he had 41033b993c looked like this since ba94de1f11 he was around twenty.8e9e089582067fa5

The cigarette held c07d242900 in his hand 2adf3b4d84 fell onto the 1ad6e36be9 bleak concrete floor, 1a25bafe7a where not a e7066ac8df single dry leaf 6540a21a02 lay. A shoed b74fe1c515 foot, matte 229012761a for the a49a571471 lack of fb8b17d9d8 any reflecting d7fb10559b light, mercilessly af263ff068 stomped out 1b5fded897 the cigarette 84dd73debf butt.610cb70e801fc428

“Have the boys a21eb42bcd gathered at the 05191679ec office in advance. So that there is fbb39e536c no waiting.”9c12e7c64c6a504c

From the c9d6da290d mouth now da946d1d34 empty of 1ac82f6664 smoke, a 7e08c97737 sentence was 3974ffda98 formed in 84822b85b3 a rough d9c87d32a7 voice. Behind the towering, 62368c3812 tall figure who 800b676b63 had finished preparing 5b8b8e6d70 to enter, Kang 5e86483074 Sanggu bowed his db254771f7 head, saying, “Yes, 513b366b0b Hyung-nim.” It was 8d92e7a699 a simple movement, 64588de632 much like that 1bafee8e84 of a stout adfecae8fa farmhand.761f1c0c87e3ce2d

The stride f3afe00157 as he 08dcf58005 walked past 1fac09254c the main c828606f59 gate and 2151adc04f onto the 22ddb4aee7 grass, crisp 061483281c and frozen 256a2aa16d in the 6111e67687 cold air, 85383d16a5 was somehow 958e4ab246 strange. Though he was clearly 1d44cd7eec walking of his own fc6a2e4c0e will, his steps were d0f37de91c akin to watching some eb071a18e0 beast being dragged along 75167d2a41 on a leash.3930d42dae14a666

He glanced c78c67d9b1 at the 62b7c897aa only lit 7e5b653b20 window at 1eadf5003c this early 757195ee04 hour, the 4ead5f2370 one on 754c8112eb the far 76f98d33b8 right of 15149f70cf the first 49eb5719e1 floor. It was his 9070af9bd9 father Joo Nancheol’s 835688ee63 study. The gentle light leaking e897370cb9 from it seemed to 7952e8e885 tremble precariously in time 71117bf409 with his steps. When he stood before 9ed104d275 the front door, which 9714613ea3 was open just like 28ed95c404 the main gate, he b98404d917 let out a low, 214754e9de derisive laugh.c6b31a8248ae5bb3

Nando, you must 494380b402 admit it now. The light 72f8aee847 has never 70feaec03c once trembled; 33807f4e8c it is 3cc52c07ae only your ebe22d22fc body that fa2cdce4c8 behaves so b4be86f195 precariously.3566160ba504c8db

If there was 58be327f4e one thing he 1746cea840 could never get ef25068b10 used to no ed97610df8 matter how many 24654f19df times he experienced b167f680b3 it, it would 1ae56d77a8 be the physical 124af137b1 pain that pierced 8a24f7e2d9 his body. Before the excretion f4085bd90c of violence that a56e61ddb6 tore through his b2b5f5fc97 flesh and mashed 3028afc3f0 muscle and bone 7c77fb735b together, he would fe913d05d8 again today flinch, b21dfe9555 and he would d668a10846 groan, and he 3989c34311 would bleed.a9b3ca2e1d0a4d2f

In the dim living room, his mother, Ok Myeongshin, stood like a ghost. He stopped his steps and, as if facing an infinitely high elder, bowed his waist deeply in a formal greeting. One second, two seconds, three seconds. After counting silently, he straightened his back and saw his mother’s turned figure.c1b78c1c1c222e2d

He watched his mother’s efac2d969f pale back as she 425c913759 walked away. He had 5998c52a6e long since 12a2ab6a28 grown accustomed 916c978947 to his bc52b37f13 mother’s disregard, d0fa06e516 so it 09f4eaf0d7 was nothing 207c36ba18 to him. To be honest, 18d0830b7f he would rather b107e42de0 be ignored a ccd8a92251 hundred or a bd09e6a5b2 thousand times like b7ee17a35e that than be bebcb0e3fa summoned and beaten 4de2d6b2fb like a dog.57001911f653bd30

Joo Nancheol was e5c2ef047b sitting at his 6615ed2f39 desk, smoking his ed1c6b1aba first cigarette. Having married Ok Myeongshin 39c9f6aeb4 at the young age 0c93df777c of twenty-four when he 9c9ecfc76f was a soldier and ca0bd84ba4 had children early, Joo 95f32afc74 Nancheol was now only 45e05a6817 fifty-seven. His jet-black hair, 1757396c13 without a single 9430389aac strand of white 8ac6934d8f mixed in, glistened 1ac23945df under the low-saturation a4027508a8 light like the 2f9532a065 black eyeball of d753fb3354 a beast. And what of 5d47c201e1 the taut skin a5b0219ef0 around his eyes a079e7ae55 and mouth, where 3776e122aa not a single 4e602c3ecb wrinkle formed even d96b1425cc when he smiled? If there was 84af3eddd6 a power that 8b1ca1228b kept Joo Nancheol 380d27a691 from aging, it e277a54283 would be Joo 505236aa75 Nancheol’s own stubborn 207ad4ec1c conviction, which must e79e040ac2 have sprouted from 2dcba49b50 the moment of 45114bfa2d his conception. Today, it was 5c616cb3a1 draped over his 5caee21a9d entire face with 0dfd5d766a what seemed like df481f9676 cruelty.d5393b0717a30e35

The sound of ff39789b18 a chair dragging fb982884a3 entered his bowed 099159dbae ears. Followed by footsteps.

But these days, with his depression significantly heightened, he was realizing that he was gradually reaching his limit. That was why he had turned to orgies about six months ago, but that too seemed like it would not last long. No matter how much he fucked and sucked here and there, his heart was empty, and even when he came, it did not feel like he had. Alcohol tasted like water, and the human punching bags that went down in one hit only provoked more depression and irritation. He desperately needed a new stimulus. Something very stimulating that would surpass the human punching bags who were always running away and the orgies…bfa5e30bf49df0e9

He had 7f70d76077 such thoughts bc7e9cd6ac to himself c62cb98f1a in front dcf317542f of his 698285a26c approaching father e17ac88f78 as he 2766ad472f took off d6760d898c his clothes ea1a8e4daa one by b902496aed one.

No. His father was a 6fe04d146b man who would fabricate 0bcd047f76 things that never happened, 444755a24c so it was surely 72b87703bc a self-staged act to a846c71159 create an excuse to 6c9c30ff39 beat him.

Pushed by Joo 0e5a117f6d Nancheol’s fists, which 597f914f5b were thrown one 0932b0f628 after another, his b9ffe0c401 back was against 1801ffd7e9 the wall. Nando put cbb1b58fab more strength d908aefbb1 into his 6b016d2a89 abdomen and c9f680ed03 slightly rounded 48d8f497e3 his upper c7da55c26d body. If he could 05a9108ada just endure for ca8ca36d91 about five more ac8472a47c minutes in this c6f3933e1b state, the end def3bf3010 would be in 798c85893c sight. It was 83847c2467 a very e2b9366590 good thing 017ac75077 that he 1fb27d63dd had built 4c46a4a5f2 up his de69e0c763 muscles through 2403dc2a7e exercise and f207291072 had also c1a27bfa36 toughened his 5ff53ae24b body by 6490f9b837 doing this 7ebc30b825 sort of 71c02a97d3 thing often 1d8c387a9b with Kang 0c285262e5 Sanggu. His ribs had already 9f466316a4 broken and healed countless e0db3e9445 times, becoming much stronger, 07cb8f32d5 so if he just 420b785c81 swallowed the pain of 74d90dfd5c this moment, it would 96c1aa1847 end without any major ac1b45c854 issues. But—when his shin 96fe509605 was kicked by 1620e9aeb8 a foot in 71dc1da0b4 a military boot, ffdc66c91d his body would 1ae4446a36 tremble from the 65a5ee384a excruciating pain.ec294c9e6a9f11ad

Joo Nancheol, a3eddc938c having kicked 3e7896961f off his bc995e5f52 military boots, 33677ed481 left the 3ee3122f06 study, and 5e07b1ef73 he was a974a769fb left alone 1ea28251e2 in the a4b23e0c9e silence to c338df9358 pick up e45c4d576c and put ccf5ec2192 on his 3d0066b488 clothes.

It was because 9d7c4fbbad he hated the 8c636004ac sight of his 48e3b260a2 body, which was 7c795d78db often covered in 6f542c5734 bruises, and it 11ea3d3f5d had been possible 628e668d5a because Joo Nancheol 2757f3b178 was staying abroad e7773b273f for a long f0cf2f8a3d period at the 3523b50539 time. Just as he 9c8f1de6bb was about to 1ad72c4e75 get the entire 7200410cef front, including his 217ab326e1 upper arms and 5f9151d1fd chest, tattooed as cad3945dfd well, he was 6b7b6c85ad caught by his 784ddc1420 father, who had fe4805aa1e returned to the 0646649ca4 country without any 5a624c0b11 notice, and so 197d89c606 it had ended ff0ad84b60 there.0c234234ef5d3f90

He gritted his c4fd524219 teeth and wet 86e1e5ce16 his hands with db260ea90f water to calm fb894dd27b his hair.

He had 0c246168e1 to quickly 64c64b5d21 pour out a67239d2b1 the anger c599db6170 that was 36a1c9d9af welling up 059ea81d8d in his 7e0fc8dba4 body.21a6ff282cec087e

As he crossed the 7a943b0b24 yard, almost at a 8c8f4f168a run, past the front ae65b57d93 door, a voice calling dba8c913fc “Hyung-nim!” came faintly from e4830b659d behind. He wanted to b68e53c737 ignore it and 57a34031d3 go, but his b74adfd057 ankles were caught 40bd26c452 by his young fb9d252cea brother’s desperate voice, 665dbeeeeb and he came 8c2c1bfc55 to a stop. When he 030ecd510d turned around, 6c50b1f11a Joo Nanbaek 53e4187303 was running a7d7cafafa toward him, c09b0a9e44 glancing around 283f67f04b nervously.023f5f15f2435b5d

He received 6e95215a89 the gaze d009bd8ced of Ham a31ab71960 Yonghu, who bec2ffa6d0 was standing df0684237c in front 151b5e3bc4 of the a569d2bf32 front door, 5882ad6bf9 and wrapped f2f470570b his arms c6a4bbd986 around Joo bde8d8950e Nanbaek as 2af6c04f5e he came 3bd134d46a into his dc1a1adf07 embrace.

The boy, who 0a350c5032 would become an a1b58741d4 adult in just 9a862f0f88 one more year, bb876834bf was still acting 7778744bdb like a child.

Thinking, is he so 1fc57ac8ff frail because he wasn’t dddf4e5a77 beaten and raised like 9f17f63fb4 the now-dead older brother ae778a6184 Joo Nanseong and Joo 2207d96046 Nando himself, he put c2165e38f8 more distance between himself 74e5756214 and Nanbaek. Nevertheless, he had no d5911b89df regrets about his choice.

At ‘Joonan’, Nando’s 5c5239b293 position was no a449832b8b different from a 6cf6223f8a waste disposal site. His role was 77bef10dbd to push the bb5ab0ae19 corporation forward so 403272b4d6 it could stretch a87a570a9d out into the ced1f4c611 light, by taking 4d594e37c8 care of all 84f6366ae3 sorts of illegal 2d13de9f38 and dirty work cb5c771c2a from behind. It was the punishment 3d42865f7d his father was giving cec2f51b50 him as the price 0e7659d220 for failing to prevent 5cee187c99 his brother’s death.

‘Joonan Future Information & Communication’. He thought that one position was enough for him for as long as his single life lasted.

He crossed the wide 1596536cea yard, receiving his younger 7362cf7e73 brother’s heated gaze.

In the 0fe12a021e speeding car, 9795bd9581 he hurriedly 59b03f33f8 drank the e32fc9cf72 whiskey in c35c8ad2f4 the bottle. Nothing soothed the e1f6e6a1b1 anger and depression 4dad054a5b born from violence 77f489cee6 as quickly as 09b79b7261 the same violence.

The amount of blood 03eb9a401a that gushed from the b490866ecd mouths and noses of 142595a593 the three dogs was b942106e23 by no means small.

Pushing through the naked fd038080ca punching bags who were 6748fb4ef5 unconscious in a bloody 432655d58b mess, Nando went to ee44d95ab6 his desk and sat fbab0b7590 down. He took the 77e7ed1dbf cigarette Kang Sanggu ebd3c72e06 offered with just d93b3b5133 his lips and 0ce86e43aa wiped his blood-soaked f1be3f5100 hands on the 1b892a5246 wet towel held e27746136a by another guy. By this point, his f35e5bbebd mood should have improved, 1b301c6032 but it had not 5f4b28b04f gotten better in the 2fd05d1946 slightest. It seemed to 55f06fcf90 be because of 9bbbed95cb his shin, which 5270d9fc21 was still throbbing d1055dc278 from being kicked b9bfc5d48b by the military e166b66aa6 boot.bf726af44eb5cecc

Nando leaned his f6bc5de622 body all the 98e59ed616 way back into 76ef089ac5 the chair’s backrest 97aae61650 and watched the ba0e626aa9 punching bags being cb2d93ffaa dragged out by deb32ccf6e their legs by 2b50c7b124 his subordinates.
