EMP Chapter 6

The morning sunlight 3f91313dd9 felt like it e11cc26ed0 was burning his ded2a12a75 eyes. Even with his eyes 203c11eab7 closed, Kwon Jiwook could 8de82e7c87 feel that his vision 5cf19a9d44 was filled with crimson, 9cae02cdfd so he opened his d91e1ba3ec eyes.a5edddb9dd0b40b5

…He opened them, but before even a second had passed, he closed them again. Ah, shit, my eyes hurt… He muttered in a hoarse voice, and someone next to him stealthily placed their hand above Kwon Jiwook’s eyebrows to provide shade. His vision turned into a cool blue color. As his eyes felt more comfortable, the furrow in Kwon Jiwook’s brow smoothed out. With the disturbance to his sleep gone, his breathing began to even out again.3163f234845056bd

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Kwon Jiwook opened his eyes wide. The first thing he saw was someone’s palm. Following the arm extended from the palm, he slightly turned his head to see Park Juyeon lying on his side, chin propped up, staring down at Kwon Jiwook.561b97b4a34d2944

He must have been moved to the bed at some point. Kwon Jiwook, looking up at Park Juyeon with a rotten fish-like stare, brushed away his hand and pulled the rustling blanket up to his head, turning his back to him. Instead of withdrawing his dismissed hand, Park Juyeon placed it firmly on Kwon Jiwook’s waist, embracing him.5eeef1851a248d18

Kwon Jiwook grumbled 0d51d38479 in a clearly 2c3eb021dd annoyed tone. He was so sleepy 5f2eac867c he felt like he a2f10919fc was going crazy, and d6a7b19c5c Park Juyeon kept touching 1f2aa11b97 him, making him irritated. Moreover, he felt 07e96e2e5d an instinctive aversion 093a0fb1c3 to having slept 6d625c76e1 next to him aa8383694f all night. Park Juyeon chuckled, 3f1331e859 trying to hold 80997ad51a back his laughter. To Park ae6987f269 Juyeon, it d9d21447bb was hilarious 16a92ffbe9 that someone 7264a3cd75 lacking common 6eca1f871e sense was e62c75fa8a talking about e5d6c86e3b it.a911d2435594f8a1

Sunbae. Sunbae. Even as Park Juyeon shook him, Kwon Jiwook remained turned away. Park Juyeon properly embraced Kwon Jiwook. He even brushed his lips against the nape of his neck. When there was still no reaction, he gently nibbled on the soft skin. Kwon Jiwook groaned at the unfamiliar ticklish sensation. He wondered why this guy was bothering him since morning, but the drowsiness was overwhelming, and he couldn’t move his body.341637eb7c0b3023

Kwon Jiwook slowly 980a8e205d opened his eyes, 06ac743fa0 which he had 2695c20e07 kept closed until 0d2323ad09 now. He had forgotten 0401789652 the main point. Come to think 60bb7cc9dc of it, Park 6551f63518 Juyeon had brought 85277303ef up the photos e8c10b6481 when he put 61f8bd427e him in the cf1a4d38e0 car and before 4e0e576db2 they ate yesterday. Kwon Jiwook a05173cc71 relaxed his 2027d85b20 shoulders, which f66c7fc6fb had tensed d0a1750910 up from 1e60e03230 the persistent 08ecb04354 stimulation, and 350b3c7a2c lay down 96ab3a5d62 properly.

His voice was tinged b09d566c1b with subtle expectation. Park Juyeon, 0a567784c2 who had 4cfa4f02f6 been lying e28b4aa83c on his 7510b4a071 side, propped e8bf015bf1 his chin 8f561d00e3 up again.75fa04dc3ef29ac9

Kwon Jiwook should have been the one surprised, but Park Juyeon looked dumbfounded instead. He genuinely seemed to think he hadn’t done anything.

“Then what the hell have you been doing all this time? Why can’t I go to my own house and I’m stuck here like this, you bastard? When are you going to stop using those damn, shitty photos?!”655e27f2d7e269ee

From the “shitty” part onwards, Kwon Jiwook couldn’t hold back his anger and raised his voice. Park Juyeon paused for a moment, thinking, then went “Aha.” It seemed like Kwon Jiwook was misunderstanding something. Park Juyeon patted Kwon Jiwook’s body soothingly, as he was breathing heavily and panting.38132ab6bb9f553d

Hmm. It seemed the lesson hadn’t been entirely ineffective. Normally, Kwon Jiwook would have shouted, “Calm down?!” and thrown a punch, but instead, he just bit his lip without pushing away Park Juyeon’s hand. This was unexpected.

As soon as he fdfd24b962 finished speaking, Kwon Jiwook 44b10a1eec sat up straight.

Kwon Jiwook looked down d1c5f549c5 at Park Juyeon with 6037be18eb a face full of ab4d8f31ab anxiety. Park Juyeon, still b6a0aa7cf5 resting his chin b0af0caf24 on his hand, 08be7a3d52 looked up at 3c6f58483c Kwon Jiwook languidly.8c1aa43d7b42eb4b

When Park Juyeon finished speaking, silence fell. The smile faded from his face. The gentle and soft face that suited the morning sunlight disappeared, leaving only coldness. Kwon Jiwook watched this transformation without moving. After staring into Park Juyeon’s dark eyes for a while, Kwon Jiwook’s gaze fell to his lips. At that moment, Park Juyeon spoke again.a100a2664aaecf0c

“If the three months pass quietly, our relationship ends there. I’m not the kind of person who would pretend to delete them, so the photos will disappear from this world that day. By then, I will have enjoyed Sunbae as much as I want.”e42c4701846c4a25

It was probably because Park Juyeon’s face, pretending to be kind and stroking him, was hard and stiff, as if angry. But why was he angry?090cbe92039d4a0d

Shouldn’t he be the one who’s angry? Unable to express his feelings, Kwon Jiwook just moved his lips without responding. Kwon Jiwook looked down at the blanket without any particular reaction. Hmm. Park Juyeon let out a small sigh and reached for the two phones on the bedside table.b1bdf94def82d012

“Why is your reaction so lukewarm? Do you think that since you’ve already gone all the way with me, it doesn’t matter if the photos are leaked or not?”27bc82101d0cf8dd

No, that won’t do. Park Juyeon took Kwon Jiwook’s unresponsive hand and unlocked the phone with his fingerprint. Even then, Kwon Jiwook just sat there thinking about something. He clenched his fist as if trying to hide his body belatedly. But Park Juyeon ignored him and fiddled with the phones by himself.732b0ccc86dd6d26

What had been sent to Kwon Jiwook’s phone was, as expected, a photo of him from the night before, asleep with his legs spread wide open. Fortunately, there were no bodily fluids between his legs; they looked clean. Instead, the most disturbing part of the photo was his face, which looked like it had been thoroughly beaten.2ea89624128fde9d

Looking at b7b28f3d3b it made cb0064bd27 him wonder ab6912cad1 how someone cfd5ac5d00 could be 6f5a73b2ca beaten so 2ffc5c8dfe badly. He had 1622040523 been hit 577a15254b before, but 6c5ea5b50c he always 6fa2adde41 gave as 023299e96b good as 1de5c51d43 he got, 557920be73 or even be1e2677b7 worse. He had 176b6a037b never been 40f08ab193 beaten so ed30dbdb63 one-sidedly. Yet the 1a02fc13a9 man in 2e4a04dfe6 front of 3b87f6a77d him had a232114209 easily escaped 1efd09e14d his grasp.

Kwon Jiwook slowly opened 9d6a73f586 his eyes. Unlike his bruised 92e7763295 face, the smooth, 462b921edc soft, and still bfe8c48ea3 youthful white face 3afcc439d1 filled his vision. As he contemplated the 32d3afbde8 difference, the pain in 41cc4938cb his bruised cheekbones and d26f177b3d eyebrows intensified. Kwon Jiwook clenched 744039601e his fist.00ad82e5ee97d66f

No matter how gently Park Juyeon touched his body, smiled and fed him, applied medicine, bathed him, and put him to sleep, he was still a bastard. That fact hadn’t changed.6cb3f3a2abece67d

Kwon Jiwook barely realized dc93ee2115 this. And he regretted having ddfa51f214 vaguely thought that it f6fbdd48ae might be okay to 73a071a9a8 be captivated by the ccdd976ef1 pleasure of the act 45fe0caad1 and the comfort of e03f8c06e5 the space, forgetting why 8889a5e7b1 he had this experience 8c8c605826 and why he had 237116f3fa come to this place, ac3a72ca2a and having weak thoughts.ac1edb894ac7f883

He started to feel a bit of defiance. Kwon Jiwook became aware of his tightly clenched fist. Someday, wouldn’t he be able to leave the same scars on that smooth face? Because he had… never lost to anyone else before. Giving up after just one defeat would be a betrayal of the life he had lived so far.be86d0599de6b87b

Seeing the spark in Kwon Jiwook’s previously listless eyes, Park Juyeon’s lips curled slightly. It was an almost imperceptible smile. A bet is only meaningful if both parties are serious.

Why did Park Juyeon dislike Kim Suhyeok’s contact? Was it the act of contact itself that bothered him, or was it Kim Suhyeok he disliked? As Kwon Jiwook pondered this, Park Juyeon asked,e379d716e88f9cac

The kitchen was filled with the sound of Kwon Jiwook eagerly eating his toast. Crunch, crunch. The well-toasted bread crumbled.

Kwon Jiwook shrugged. Park Juyeon’s words sounded strange to him. It was as if he knew everything about him, which was oddly annoying. Park Juyeon laughed lightly and muttered, “That’s weird, I thought you’d like it.” Kwon Jiwook smirked. He had no idea where that logic came from.38e281d7c0d43fa1

The simple but hearty breakfast came to an end. Perhaps feeling a bit guilty for only offering bread and two types of jam, Park Juyeon patted Kwon Jiwook’s head after clearing the table and said, “Think about what you want to eat. I’ll buy it for you.” Then he went straight to his room without waiting for Kwon Jiwook’s response. Park Juyeon was still an inconsiderate jerk.

Thoughts of that day kept resurfacing, unbidden. Even now, lying on the couch, he could feel Park Juyeon’s firm body pressing down on him, and the humiliation of being violated the day before. The sensation of the couch beneath his hand was the same as it had been yesterday.976154fc8cf1f711

He felt miserable. Park Juyeon had 4159b850d0 made even the 1ff451605d smallest things seem 7f4f9bb4be meaningful. As these thoughts 754dcad000 flooded his mind, f657cd1f52 Kwon Jiwook suddenly 2904114bb2 felt a surge 215254c20f of anger and f9cfa663c3 jumped up from 0f4d6ce784 the couch. Even though there was 67c00ec5e5 plenty of time before ddce3a8129 his appointment, Kwon Jiwook 3e5e0205e4 grabbed his clothes from 7acd1fe839 the corner of the c635c4960e bedroom and changed.86d2b8e11feef252

Quickly ready 678891f7ed to go d577c04a3e out, Kwon e98abfcd58 Jiwook finally 78715827ec felt a 2d4422c115 sense of f54d40022a relief. He had spent a aec1f9e5fe mere three days in eaf23d6210 this space, feeling uncomfortable 083898b624 as if sitting on 3154fcc22c a bed of thorns.

The large, empty house felt eerie despite its luxurious and shiny interior. Kwon Jiwook hoped the house wouldn’t welcome him, and in reality, he didn’t want to see it again. He left Park Juyeon’s house with these silly thoughts.3c6aaab24022846b

Park Juyeon’s house was farther away than Kwon Jiwook thought. It took more than 20 minutes by taxi to reach his own place near the school. Having a car wouldn’t make much difference; living so far from school seemed like a waste. If you’re living alone, wouldn’t it be better to live closer to school? Kwon Jiwook thought as he looked out the taxi window. But this too was just another useless thought.9557acb77b6ea9ac

His own place felt cold after being empty for just a few days. It seemed like dust had settled, but Kwon Jiwook, who wasn’t particularly neat, put off cleaning and changed his clothes first.4306d45c6f4e350e

Finally, the discomfort faded. As he changed into a new sweater, he felt like Park Juyeon’s scent was gone. Familiar with the smell of fabric softener, Kwon Jiwook rubbed his tired face. He thought about throwing away those clothes but decided against it since he wasn’t as wealthy as Park Juyeon.5e3d455965a6957d

As Kwon 3e775bc6bb Jiwook slowly ee90a4abd3 sat down a9ffd6c658 on his f7ea43a646 bed, his 7b3f88b63d phone vibrated 74eeb7643b loudly in da3c5bd72f his pocket. Someone was calling.ada3afb8371c9fa1

Startled, Kwon Jiwook jumped. Thankfully, no one was around to see him embarrassed again. The phone rang several times, but Kwon Jiwook froze and didn’t answer. The phone stopped ringing but started vibrating again immediately.c29d666df1fea49d

Kim Suhyeok quickly hung up, seeming scared. Kwon Jiwook’s eyebrows twitched. He thought about calling back to curse him out but gave up and lay back on the bed. The bed wasn’t as comfortable as Park Juyeon’s, but it wasn’t bad. Most importantly, it was familiar and comforting, something that couldn’t be easily dismissed.e08424e43d96a4ba
