The room was dimly lit, illuminated by lamps placed here and there without any direct lighting. There were only five or six tables, and in front of them, plush sofas were arranged in a circle. Each seating area was partially concealed by a yellowish-painted concrete wall on one side. The concrete wall had a rectangular opening, as if it were a window, which did nothing for soundproofing but served faithfully as a psychological barrier. The music didn't cut across the space but seemed to embrace it,…- 124.1 K • Ongoing
- The three days passed by in a pale blur, as if diluted in water. During that time, Jaeri didn't even eat properly and was scolded once by Jungyoon. He was punished by having to stand with his hands raised for a full hour. The punishment only ended when his arms hurt so much that a tear welled up from the misery. For those three days, it was as if gaping holes were being punched in a corner of his heart, to the point he wondered if he had switched to a depressive state. Every time a hole appeared, if he…

- In the Vice President's office, Jungyoon was receiving a report from Director Gu on the progress of the so-called 'YJ Project', designed to weaken Yoonjae. Seeing Director Gu's gaunt eyes, Jungyoon thought, He must have pulled another all-nighter. “Director Gu, I gave you the authority to hire people. Why are you doing all the work yourself?” “There are many things that I must handle personally,” Director Gu said, pushing up his glasses. “Don’t be so full of yourself. Hire people and…

- Seonyeong, thinking about what to ask for, couldn't think of anything he particularly wanted from Jaeri, so he asked to be treated to more meals. Jaeri's request was quite a bother and a risk for him as well. “Ah, no way. Not that.” “Why not? You have a lot of money.” “How am I supposed to meet you twenty times? I’d have to listen to your boring love life stories twenty times. Let’s make it fifteen.” “Alright.” Jaeri brought a calendar and began discussing with Seonyeong…

- “You're an excellent doctor. If you weren't, I wouldn't have entrusted Jaeri to you.” — …Thank you, Kim Jungyoon. “The diagnosis of childhood depression will be a great help in his treatment.” The brief phone call ended. Sometimes, when he thought of her, he felt a feeling like looking at a faded photograph. This time, meeting and talking with her, and speaking on the phone, he would occasionally recall those times, but now the same memory was just crisp at the edges, like looking at a…

- His gaze was like that too. It was a bored attitude, as if he already knew everything and had no more questions, yet it lacked any hint of magnanimity. Under that unwavering, direct gaze, Jaeri had nothing to say. His hyung already knew. He felt like he was being interrogated. Jaeri parted his lips to say something, even if it was meaningless, but his hyung’s sentence was handed down first. “You need a spanking, don’t you?” That languid and gentle voice again. He headed towards his…

- Jaeri couldn't understand why things were going so well for him today. He was grateful to Seonyeong’s perverted hyung acquaintance. “By any chance, is it Minuk-hyung?” “Are you crazy? How could I say something like that to my hyung? What would he think of me?” “Ah. Really? Well, then. When can you give it to me?” “I’ll probably be able to get it around Christmas. The hyung said he’d contact me.” “Wow, seriously, how is there nothing you can't do? You're amazing, truly…

- Jaeri looked up at him. He laughed as if in disbelief. “This really won't do.” His eyes were not smiling. Jaeri, more afraid of his eyes than his words, avoided his gaze. “Is it okay for me to just touch your body?” “...No.” “If another guy touches you outside, are you going to stand there stupidly?” “...No. It was because you, hyung, were touching me… that I stayed still.” Jaeri defended himself, though he stammered. “I said I’d give you sex…

- Jaeri quietly let out a shallow sigh and, with his back held ramrod straight with tension, unknowingly gripped the edge of the tablecloth slightly. When Chairman Kim resumed eating after having paused, the atmosphere eased a little. Jaeri, also feeling the focused gazes dispersing from him, let go of the tablecloth he was holding and started eating again. From time to time, their father would ask after his children's well-being, and the atmosphere grew comfortably relaxed. Jungyoon answered on Jaeri’s…

- He had barely managed to suppress the most colossal emotion that had arisen, but it had been suppressed by cutting into his own living flesh. It was agonizing that the one person he thought he could no longer show weakness to was his hyung. That loneliness was a familiar ache. Because of this, because I'm gay, again, now, alone. Jungyoon watched Jaeri and waited. He wanted to see what kind of conclusion Jaeri would reach on his own. He knew well which direction the process of Jaeri getting his emotions…
