GCT 13

“It’s just a hypothesis.”

Yohan let out a deep sigh.

“Messing with O’Connell was a dangerous thing to do in the first place and wasn’t in the plan but…. However, it’s a bit of a shame that things turned out this way.”

“But we have Miguel in our hands, don’t we?”

Only then did Yohan realize that he had forgotten about Miguel.

“Oh right, there was Miguel. What happened to him?”

“The place where you hit him is fine. He got a bit of a bump, but he was already a bit stupid, so it probably won’t have much of an impact.”

“O’Connell dead and Miguel kidnapped…. Our boss must be very flustered.”

Yohan scratched his cheek and thought of Glen Cowry. He was truly a guy who clung to power and only chased after money. To the point of using the foolish younger brother he had hidden away so tightly and getting rid of his own right-hand man.

Thanks to that, he had completely distanced himself from Jamal’s side, and Yohan was in a difficult situation. Of course, the thing with Jamal was also partly thanks to Fiona.

But that wasn’t the problem. Circumstantially, if a rumor had spread on the Declan side that Yohan was just Lear’s plaything, then the rumor might have spread to the Vasquez side as well, and his new nickname might have already become Sexy Kitty.

If there was any relief, was it that the organization members didn’t usually have much deep interest in him…. It could have just been mentioned as a joke and passed over. Fiona’s situation wasn’t that great either.

At the sight of himself being trapped on a lone island in both the FBI and Vasquez, Yohan wondered if there was a big problem with him at this point. He had even cut ties with his family.

“Well… I guess so. Besides, that woman’s condition is improving too. It’s going to be very interesting soon.”

“Are you sure Fiona is okay?”

“Of course. Did you think I ate her or something?”

“The way you talk.”

“…….”

“…You don’t really have any intention of doing that, do you?”

At the sight of Lear suddenly clamping his mouth shut, Yohan looked at him with an anxious face and asked cautiously. At that, Lear pressed his eyes with his fingers and pretended to wipe away tears.

“Are you being jealous right now? I think I’m really touched and about to cry.”

Far from crying, Yohan let out a hollow laugh at the sight of Lear shamelessly pretending to cry without even showing the sincerity of squeezing out a single tear.

“I said it out of anxiety, wondering if you, who are not very human-like, might do something outrageous, you know?”

“Honey, are you embarrassed?”

“Embarrassed, my ass. Stop with the nonsensical talk. Do you want to see me die from high blood pressure?”

“Our darling, I know very well that you’re not the type to collapse from something like this, since you’re so healthy.”

Lear raised both hands and made a gesture of massaging Yohan’s body. At that sight, Yohan sighed and was about to get up from his seat, but Lear urgently grabbed him.

“Alright. I’ll stop at the first verse.”

“You’ve already gone to the eighth verse, you crazy bastard.”

“Haha. Did I.”

“…….”

“But, think about it. If you say things like I ate that woman, would I be annoyed? Or not?”

Yohan reached out his hand, grabbed Lear’s head, and messed it up wildly. At that action, Lear grabbed Yohan’s arm and, putting strength into it for a moment, pulled him into his embrace. Then he bit Yohan’s neck lightly with his teeth and said.

“This is enough for eating.”

“What are you talking about, really!”

“I’m a very picky eater. I’m a fussy eater. The type that keeps eating only delicious things.”

“Stop with the bullshit, and don’t try to create a mood unnecessarily.”

At Lear’s action of slyly touching his butt, Yohan pushed his chest away, putting a bit of strength into his palm. At that, Lear hugged Yohan tightly as if to show off.

“It hurts.”

“I’m just holding you, don’t be a baby.”

“You crazy bastard! My bones are going to wear out at this rate!”

Yohan let out a deep sigh, then this time, he pushed Lear away properly, instantly grabbed and twisted his arm, toppled his large body, and in one breath, got on top of him and put his weight on him. In that moment, Yohan felt a pain that seemed to ring not only in his body but also in his head.

“Really, my whole body aches because of you.”

Lear, with his arm twisted, lay on the sofa, whining that it hurt and stomping his feet. Yohan clicked his tongue and only then let go of Lear.

“I told you to do it in moderation.”

Lear rubbed his twisted arm and looked at Yohan as if he had been wronged.

“Agent-nim, is it okay to use your special move?”

“That’s why you should stop when I tell you to.”

Yohan sat back on the sofa and stretched his legs out onto the sofa table. Then he crossed his arms and looked at Lear, gesturing to his own legs with his chin. At that, Lear, while pouting, started to massage Yohan’s legs.

“That feels good.”

“Pay the price with a kiss.”

“Ahem. You talk too much.”

“Then at least give me a peck.”

At the sight of Lear speaking with his lips puckered, Yohan pretended not to hear and asked him.

“Forget it, so do you have a next plan?”

Lear smacked his lips and said.

“Well… for now, the relationship between the brothers and business partners will be completely ruined, so won’t a lot of interesting things happen? Especially, once the seed of doubt is planted and starts to sprout, you can’t go back to how things were before.”

“Glen will be anxious in many ways.”

“That’s right. If the brother he sent on an errand after getting him a job evaporates and O’Connell dies…. On top of that, in this situation, if things go wrong, he could end up in the same state.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“For now, I’ve arranged for the guys who fell into my hands to rest in a suitable place. Those guys might actually think it’s a good thing.”

“And?”

“I have to release them at the right time. For now, there’s a lot of misunderstanding built up.”

Lear smiled brightly and looked at Yohan. Yohan first nodded his head. It was a situation where they had to do whatever it took to drag the unknown Shadow to the surface.

“Don’t worry too much.”

“I’m not worried.”

At the sight of Yohan speaking with a sigh, Lear’s expression hardened slightly, and he closed the screen of his laptop that was on the table. Then he met Yohan’s eyes and spoke in a serious voice.

“So about that, Yohan.”

“Hmm?”

Lear’s purple eyes sank low.

“For the time being, I think it would be best for you to stay here too.”
