“It hurts if you get hit in the groin, right?”58c35eaf4d9aede9

Kwon Hyeongdo seemed to have 720dda060e the same thought. It hurt his a115faec69 pride to think 0afbc8e3f4 he was on 8e2b0b7bed the same level 7fa2ba502f as that guy.b9a4a7e05a0f5eec

Seon Ijin glared at Kwon Hyeongdo like crazy at the sound of him scratching his head. Then he suddenly stood up. Kwon Hyeongdo chuckled and tugged at Ijin’s arm.5f822e809b88da40

“Maybe for you. Does it hurt? If you’re curious, why don’t you try getting hit?”9b8175e2c08c3c1f

Ijin tried to shake off his hand roughly, but Kwon Hyeongdo just tilted his head to avoid it and didn’t let go of his grip. Jang Munyong, who was watching the two alternately, slammed the table with his big palm. Startled by the sound, Ijin reflexively curled up, even though it wasn’t painful enough to make him stand up.8c7301ce6a387b89

Words he couldn’t understand. But the unpleasant and sticky feeling clearly directed at him made Ijin slowly turn his head to look at Jang Munyong. Jang Munyong crossed his thick arms tightly and clicked his tongue.f8f5d407c7b9fa2d

Ijin finally spoke up long after getting into Kwon Hyeongdo’s car after leaving Trevi. He wasn’t shocked by Kwon Hyeongdo’s answer since he had a rough idea of what it would be, but it was enough to make his mood plummet.45d88eb9ddbb43cf

However, Ijin’s mood wasn’t Kwon Hyeongdo’s concern. Kwon Hyeongdo’s mind was racing. He licked his lips, still tasting the strong nicotine, as he thought about Incheon, Trevi, and the Colosseum.42544e881e023d99

Executive Director Ma didn’t like the Colosseum. He thought it wasn’t profitable. He believed Chairman Choi wanted to turn the Colosseum into some kind of gangster art project. Because of that, Executive Director Ma’s influence didn’t reach the Colosseum. Or so he thought.7ca83631a3a45de9

Trevi was out of the question. The relationship between Jang Munyong and Executive Director Ma was terrible. That left Incheon, but Kwon Hyeongdo didn’t have any connections there. Should he plant one? Who should he plant? Damn, he hated this kind of hassle.1794679336a75d8c

“Why am I being picked? Huh? I gave you the spot, didn’t I? But now you’re turning it back on me?”d99f1c1afe8c0f81

The chance that it started at Trevi was greatly reduced by today’s conversation. Jang Munyong genuinely seemed unaware. And even if he was pretending, knowing about Madam Ju’s involvement meant it wouldn’t go as Jang Munyong wanted.f78a5fc5820f6665

“Be quiet. Hey, I’m working right now. I’m thinking. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, should I give you something to bite on?”a8d07d3b49a9e37e

The small face in his hand was warm. It was just annoying, not that he was genuinely angry. The warmth made Kwon Hyeongdo think about Ijin’s body, and it eased his mood.08851d47ed98ce87

Should he really let him bite? Kwon Hyeongdo parked the car on the roadside while playing with Ijin’s face. By now, the sun had set, and the neon signs flashing “24-hour service available” and “Hot service available” flickered over their faces.6db56625f458eca0

Even after parking, Kwon Hyeongdo kept playing with Ijin’s warmth. Because of his grip, Ijin was almost suffocating. His breathing became labored, and his lips were wet, making Kwon Hyeongdo’s palm damp as well.736fa522141b19b0

Kwon Hyeongdo wiped 03f0f6c123 his palm on 23ed15a89e his pants and 60c2a53854 took out a 9c29444668 cigarette. It was an American brand 9686e2771e he got from Jang Munyong. He casually tossed 37ee5198f0 an American condom 085324f9c7 that came out 20358345c7 of his pocket 0df6e13c96 into the console 0bbfacd140 box, making Ijin c7a1442471 flinch and close ed192ea524 his mouth.c46ffa63791f00c5

Kwon Hyeongdo lit two cigarettes 2f641c0e0f at once and handed one 3bb6544c46 to Ijin. Caught off guard, Ijin took 3925329443 a drag, but it was a26b1be837 noticeably different from what he 1bf27671b8 had smoked before. Despite coughing heavily, he stubbornly 6a412049c4 took another drag. His head spun, and 401791fedc his throat felt like 693ca5eabe it had been punched.149943453150461c

Kwon Hyeongdo quietly 57748d865b smoked with the 092de2667b window open and 040420ce2c then drove back 6ff7d74011 to the Colosseum. About two minutes before they 876b7edea0 arrived, Kwon Hyeongdo spoke.f50713768cbc8bc2
