INT Ch 11.1

After finishing his investigation and leaving work, Woojin opened the door to Haewon’s officetel. The place was dark, even though it was only a little past eleven. Haewon was asleep, still holding his phone as if waiting for Woojin’s call.1f776bb88a938281

Woojin took the phone from Haewon’s hand and unlocked it. The security on the phone was so simple that Woojin didn’t need to steal a glance to figure it out.0eacf6cc66ef8844

After placing Haewon’s phone on the side table, Woojin undressed and hung his clothes in the closet. Although there were already a few of his outfits in Haewon’s closet, he didn’t have enough to change into.e812d5b4056e27e2

He took a b55ecf5a37 quick shower, wearing 66d91acd06 only his briefs, d6ed9d6f2b and lay down ee63d41451 next to Haewon. Haewon slept quietly, 5c9781c905 without making a 875fafeed5 sound. There had 267d3c8874 been times 9d214aaf2a when Woojin 32607c9558 came while 0a67675df2 Haewon was 37022abf62 asleep and e63f92ab22 left before 58cf210a7b he woke 6af71d5eb6 up.e40e689cee53ff69

From Haewon’s perspective, it was as if Woojin hadn’t been there, but in reality, Woojin had never gone more than two days without touching Haewon, except during their separation. Just like now.7d13bee703aec427

Woojin slipped his hand into Haewon’s pajamas and touched his chest. He felt the steady beat of Haewon’s heart. Haewon showed no signs of waking, even as Woojin touched his chest and stomach, enjoying the softness and warmth of his skin. Touching Moon Haewon always satisfied Woojin.f4ffff3cec89c707

Haewon breathed deeply, lost in sleep. Woojin’s hand slipped into Haewon’s pajama pants, brushing against his groin. He gently squeezed Haewon’s flaccid penis, feeling it smaller than expected, and a smirk crossed his lips.fded149f29aa3923

His hand moved from Haewon’s groin to his slim, muscular waist, pulling him close. Only then did Haewon stir slightly, letting out a small moan.01489413480ed788

This was what annoyed Woojin. Who else could it be? Woojin was the only one who came to this officetel and the only one who could touch Haewon’s body freely. Moon Haewon’s mind and body belonged completely to Woojin, now and forever.507e00fad2e29c16

Every time Haewon asked “Who is it?” Woojin felt like he was just one of many, and his mood soured. He needed to discipline Haewon, whether through training or brainwashing.2bea08211d71ac3b

Woojin had another unpleasant dream. Whenever he was tired or sensitive, he dreamed of her. It wasn’t for any sentimental reason; it was because he couldn’t repay Kim Haeyoung for what she had done for him. She had become a debt he could never repay, and this guilt caused the dreams.dbe23158031a7042

He opened his tired eyes, knowing it was around 6:05 AM without even looking at the clock. He became aware of Haewon’s presence, still asleep with his arm around Woojin’s waist.88387144dd9a4468

Haewon, who usually slept 99f3bd6d6e until eight or nine, c22699a751 was surprisingly awake before 33184992d6 six-thirty.

[Hyung deleted the photos? Sorry, but I restored them all.]

An unexpected trick. Along with Haewon’s message, the photos Woojin had deleted, now strangely edited, were sent back. He looked at his phone with a stern expression. There was no contact from the magnet he had placed on Kim Jeonggeun. Kim Jeonggeun was sensitive about being tailed. Woojin had set the bait, so by the end of the week, he would know who Kim Jeonggeun was meeting or who he had called.03facb81cd45810e

Until recently, the pleasure house was a place for partying with drugs and sex. Woojin had told Taeshin that he wanted to bring him to a place where he could drink and have fun with friends.

At first, it was just a place to drink and have fun, but as they got drunk and high, it turned into a wild and chaotic scene.

The arrest of the ruling party’s representative caused a backlash from political circles. The screams of the two arrested representatives, who had been crying out in pain, suddenly disappeared like a lie. Before the election results were announced, the super budget of 460 trillion won was reviewed in just 58 hours. The irregularities in the budget review process were exposed, and criticism of the budget execution itself emerged in the discussion.fa9196e5a337c363

『The National Election Commission’s budget review special committee spent 58 hours reviewing a super budget of 460 trillion won. Park Yongho, the representative at the time, used this irregular budget review to propose the establishment of the police agency and has since embezzled national funds under the name of education and training for two years. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s Special Unit 3 has arrested and detained Park Yongho, the head of the police agency’s finance department, and Lee Mo, the planning and coordination director, and is searching their offices and homes. We are investigating other crimes.eb380ae24f3d7238

As seen in this case, there is a need for a different approach in the process of the government submitting budget proposals through parliamentary negotiations to ensure that the tax paid by the people is used in necessary places.

In response to his indifferent reply, Haewon rested his cheek on Woojin’s chest, looking bored. Woojin stroked the back of Haewon’s head.d5aa5e37716031a8

It wasn’t that he was reluctant to let it go because he cherished it. Initially, he hadn’t intended to do that either. The moment Taeshin hinted that he knew about their relationship, Woojin thought only of dealing with him quickly. If Taeshin had mentioned that they had slept together, there was also a possibility that he had revealed the bunker to Haewon. He was talkative and had told Haewon all sorts of things due to his chattiness.f3667712310b689a

Through the bunker meetings, 7cf87b97f5 he frequently discussed money 6c489a8491 laundering related to slush 10f8adcf62 funds, but Haewon seemed a3ad7f1efa completely unaware.

From what he had observed, Haewon definitely did not know about the existence of the bunker. He also didn’t know why Taeshin had committed suicide. Woojin was curious about that too.

Lee Taeshin had offered to help, but Woojin hadn’t received much help from him. The money laundering he did amounted to only 200 million won. It was actually troublesome when Taeshin disappeared after being brought to the bunker meeting. They wasted three days searching for him in the forest.78cd88e26522f9d7

Woojin was still curious. Contrary to Haewon’s claims, he hadn’t toyed with Taeshin. He had acted affectionately to gain his favor and had sincerely engaged in the relationship. Lee Taeshin also said he loved Woojin, just like Haewon. Taeshin had a one-sided fantasy about Woojin. In response to Taeshin’s feelings, Woojin had devoted his time and emotions equally and only asked for help necessary for the investigation. Unlike with Kim Haeyoung, he hadn’t made unreasonable requests like stealing documents or betraying his birth father. He had simply taken him to a gathering of close friends, and Taeshin seemed to enjoy it at the time.710d932d37614491

Eventually, a fight a82e3b125a broke out between baca9074bd HanKyung Group and 6c5e443e19 Park Hyeongsu.2de16461a5eaacc7

Kim Jeonggeun fed1c4f1d0 had no f5171c5d81 idea about f188995e85 the influence fd9a8e05a7 Park Hyeongsu f4741c4b1a wielded within 06121ef350 the prosecution, 8a0e636dc5 despite his 00ad443891 unimpressive appearance.8df6ee0a6fd6f07f

The first sign was Park Hyeongsu, the prosecutor who was set to be the inspector general, being pushed out in the recent personnel changes. Park Hyeongsu did not stay quiet. Soon, the media reported suspicions that the source of funds for HanKyung Group’s overseas investment fund was the group’s slush fund.c5954a457b8e5487

The position of the Ministry of Justice’s inspector general, which Park Hyeongsu failed to secure, was filled by someone from the prosecutor general’s line, who had served as the chief of the central district prosecutor’s investigation department and the chief of the supreme prosecutor’s office’s criminal investigation department. This solidified the core line of the Ministry of Justice, along with the presidential secretary for civil affairs.6b027cd0297ae5f8

Woojin’s list of unspecified targets, Take 2, was narrowed down to three people. As the Minister of Justice directed and the prosecutor general officially ordered an investigation into the stock transfer route of HanKyung Group, Woojin crossed the suspect prosecutor general off his list.88d68fa946afcbca

The only options were to cover up the incident or pressure the supreme prosecutor’s office.
