PEN Vol 4 Ch. 7
by kissesTurning his back to Cheon Sejoo, he began to stretch. Cheon Sejoo laughed as if Sejin was being overly dramatic, then got up and adjusted the air conditioner.
He raised the temperature and lowered the fan speed so Sejin wouldn’t be too cold. A moment later, he stood facing Sejin, who had finished stretching.
“I told you before, right? What do you do if someone attacks you with a knife?”

“You said to run away.”
“Yeah. You know well.”

Cheon Sejoo smiled faintly and took out a fake knife from the storage cabinet. Sejin narrowed his eyes at the plastic knife in his hand. He couldn’t remember how absurd he had found it when Cheon Sejoo first said he would teach him how to deal with someone wielding a knife.
But when Sejin asked what exactly he was going to teach him, Cheon Sejoo had retorted that there were plenty of crazy bastards in the news these days. After being shown hundreds of articles about knife attacks that Cheon Sejoo had found, Sejin had no choice but to accept his teachings.

That didn’t mean they fought with knives every day. Cheon Sejoo mainly taught basic self-defense techniques on weekday mornings and how to deal with armed opponents on weekends.
However, they hadn’t trained since Kim Hyunkyung had fallen ill, so it was the first time he had seen that knife in a whole month. Sejin swallowed nervously, meeting Cheon Sejoo’s eyes as he approached.

“But situations aren’t always the same. You could be in an alley, or it might be difficult to escape. Or the person might already be close to you.”
Cheon Sejoo spoke as he moved behind Sejin. The moment Sejin felt his breath on the back of his neck, Cheon Sejoo’s chest pressed against his back, and an arm wrapped around his shoulders, resting just beneath his chin. Startled, Sejin held his breath.

“What are you going to do if I grab you from behind like I’m taking a hostage? What if I’m trying to take you somewhere secluded?”
The knife Sejoo held touched the left side of Sejin’s neck. But Sejin didn’t have the time to care about such a thing. Feeling the warmth of Cheon Sejoo’s body against his back, Sejin closed his mouth. His heart felt like it would leap out of his chest. His mind was in a daze from the scent of the man pressed close behind him.

“Kwon Sejin, what are you going to do?! Are you going to die?”
When Sejin remained silent, Cheon Sejoo urged him, asking again. Sejin finally came to his senses and swallowed hard. He cleared his throat and answered.

“I surrender. Do what you want.”
“This crazy…”

It was Cheon Sejoo who was taken aback by the response. As if he’d heard the most ridiculous thing, he let out a chuckle, lowered his arm, and stood in front of Sejin. After meeting his eyes, he spoke as if to bring Sejin back to reality.
“Didn’t I tell you? The moment you’re kidnapped is the only chance you have to fight back? Once you’re taken, it’s hard to get out alive. Resist with all your might when you’re first threatened. But you surrender?”

“…….”
Sejin, who hadn’t been listening properly, blinked and closed his mouth. Seeing the redness around Sejin’s neck where he had been holding him and Sejin avoiding his gaze, Cheon Sejoo wondered if he’d held him too tightly, then sighed and placed the knife in Sejin’s hand.

“You try it. I’ll show you how to do it.”
“…Okay.”

The knife, still warm from Cheon Sejoo’s touch, rested in Sejin’s hand. Sejin went behind him and stood there, just as Cheon Sejoo had done. Cheon Sejoo’s back, standing defenselessly, came into view. His neatly styled hair, the straight line of his trapezius muscles.
Sejin’s t-shirt wasn’t as thin as the one Cheon Sejoo wore, so the tattoo on his back didn’t show through. But it was thin enough to expose his slightly protruding shoulder blades. Sejin stared at his curved back, which looked as if it had wings, and then took a step closer.

“Wrap your arm around my neck like I did, and hold the knife like you’re taking a hostage. You’ve seen it in movies, right?”
Seeing Sejin hesitate, Cheon Sejoo explained. Sejin answered with a small “Okay” and wrapped his arm around Cheon Sejoo’s neck.

Sejin’s chest touched Cheon Sejoo’s back, and the inside of his arm brushed against Cheon Sejoo’s right cheek. Sejin lowered his gaze to see the tip of the knife he held pointing toward Cheon Sejoo’s left neck.
Then something caught his eye. Two tiny dots, so close together that they were almost invisible unless seen up close. One day, he had secretly kissed that spot.

He wouldn’t know.
Sejin slightly lowered his head, listening to the loud thump-thump of his heart. His lips were almost touching Cheon Sejoo’s neck.

“Good. Now watch how I do it.”
However, the intimate contact was fleeting. The moment Cheon Sejoo grabbed Sejin’s right arm and shifted his weight, the body that had been in his embrace slipped away, and the knife Sejin held was now pointed at his own chest. Stunned by what had happened in the blink of an eye, Sejin was dumbfounded. As if he had just woken from a dream, Cheon Sejoo’s body was now away from him.

Sejin opened his mouth and looked back at Cheon Sejoo, who had escaped with disconcerting ease. Looking at his dumbfounded expression, Cheon Sejoo frowned and asked,
“You weren’t concentrating, were you?”

“No…. I was. How did you do that?”
“No, you weren’t….”

Cheon Sejoo sighed and muttered, then returned to Sejin’s embrace. He pulled Sejin’s arm around his neck again, and after warning him to watch carefully, he once again demonstrated how to break free from the hold. It was a ridiculously simple method.
Exasperated, Sejin tried every trick he could think of to prevent Cheon Sejoo from escaping, but even after ten repetitions, he couldn’t stop him from slipping out of his grasp.

“What is this?”
As time passed, Sejin’s lust dissipated and his rebellious spirit rose. Now with a sullen expression, he looked back at Cheon Sejoo, who was slipping away like an eel, and accused him of cheating.

“Stop messing around.”
“What do you mean, messing around? Still don’t get it? The center of gravity shifted. Well…. what would someone who got an 81 in math know.”

“Why are you bringing that up now?!”
Sejin shouted, his cheeks flushed at the sudden attack. Ignoring him, Cheon Sejoo clicked his tongue and lifted Sejin’s arm, placing it around his neck again. Then, holding Sejin’s forearm with both hands, he slipped out from underneath.

In the process, the center of gravity shifted from Sejin to Cheon Sejoo, and the knife ended up pointing at Sejin instead of Cheon Sejoo. As if he still hadn’t grasped the simple principle, Sejin wore a dazed expression, like he was watching a magic show.
“Ha…….”

Cheon Sejoo felt a sudden headache coming on as he watched Sejin. He’d explained it more than ten times, but Sejin still didn’t understand, and he was exhausted.
Is this guy for real?

Cheon Sejoo reached out and tapped Sejin’s small head.
“What is even in there?”

“…….”
Sejin sulkily pouted his lips at the exasperated question. Cheon Sejoo gave up on teasing Sejin further, who despite his large size, still acted like a child, and threw the knife into the storage cabinet. He wanted to keep teaching Sejin until he understood, but it was time to go to the hospital. Their training session had long exceeded an hour.

“Let’s do it again next time. Go wash up now. We’re going to the hospital.”
Even at those words, Sejin didn’t move. He stood there, shifting his arms back and forth, trying to figure out Cheon Sejoo’s movements, then tilted his head and stuck out his lower lip, apparently still confused. Cheon Sejoo chuckled at the sight and left the room.

Sejin wasn’t clumsy, so he learned things quickly when taught, but the stubborn Kwon Sejin tended to resist learning anything by rote until he understood the underlying principles.
This was also the reason for Sejin’s poor memorization skills. He had difficulty memorizing things he didn’t understand. In a way, it was the trait of a perfectionist, but in another way, it was simply a frustrating personality quirk.

In any case, Cheon Sejoo, having no more energy to spare, went into the living room bathroom and showered. He put on a robe, went back to his room to dry his hair, and dressed more carefully than usual. He would end up taking these clothes off at the hotel after taking Sejin to the hospital, but he still wanted to make an effort.
When he came out after styling his hair and even spraying cologne, Sejin, also changed, was in the living room. Dressed in his usual thick t-shirt and long pants, Sejin’s expression hardened when he saw Cheon Sejoo in a suit.

Receiving his fierce glare, Cheon Sejoo responded with a “What?” and jerked his chin towards the front door. Sejin stood there, glaring at Cheon Sejoo’s back before following him out.
“Do you have an appointment?”

“Yes.”
Sejin asked abruptly as Cheon Sejoo was putting on his shoes. At the casual reply, Sejin, who was putting on his sneakers, raised his head. He stared intently at Cheon Sejoo with an obvious gaze and asked again.

At the name that came out of Sejin’s mouth, Cheon Sejoo tilted his head and stared at him. Their gazes met at close range. Cheon Sejoo, realizing Sejin’s excessive interest in him lately, closed his mouth. A cold gaze swept over Sejin, seemingly piercing him.
Kwon Sejin didn’t avoid his gaze. His dark eyes stared back at Cheon Sejoo, filled with an inexplicable defiance.

“…No.”
“Then?”

Cheon Sejoo couldn’t understand why he had lied at that moment. But he didn’t feel like telling the truth either. At Sejin’s question, Cheon Sejoo furrowed his brow and closed his mouth, then finally said to him,
“I’m going out for a drink.”

“…Why all of a sudden?”
“I’m pissed off just thinking about you getting your CSAT score report.”

Sejin bit his lip at Cheon Sejoo’s retort as he opened the front door. The tips of his ears were flushed red with the shame of his academic performance.
Leaving Sejin, who was embarrassed, Cheon Sejoo got straight onto the elevator that had arrived on the 41st floor. Sejin, who followed him out with a sullen face, also took a spot inside, and Cheon Sejoo, as they descended to the underground parking lot, stared at the back of Sejin’s round head.
