IOB Ch 29

Splish, splosh, I continued to thrust relentlessly into the hole already full of my seed, without rest.

“Heugh, heu……”

Yisak could not form any coherent words and only let out intermittent sobs. The sight of him from behind was beautiful. His upper body swaying with my movements, his spine twitching, his hips dirtied by all sorts of fluids……. I stared with my eyes wide open, to the point that the corners of my eyes throbbed, engraving the entire scene onto my retinas. I never grew tired of watching.

It had been a long time since Yisak had lost his reason. He kept fainting and regaining consciousness in fragments. No more semen came out of his penis, only a clear, water-like fluid that trickled out.

My own penis was beginning to ache as well. The pleasure had already surpassed its threshold. My glans, which had rubbed against his inner walls countless times, had been fiery red for a while now.

Even though we were both a mess, we could not stop our copulation. Like a mad dog, I wanted to hold Yisak and never let him go.

A while ago, when Yisak cried that it was too much, I personally fed him a piece of chocolate with my mouth. We also shared an electrolyte drink. And then, we went at it like dogs again. Like animals in heat. As if nothing but mating was left in our minds.

Just how many hours had passed? Semen had dried and caked onto the valley of Yisak’s buttocks. It was all that I had spilled.

I gripped Yisak’s pelvis and thrust hard from behind. Yisak gasped, his upper body convulsing as if in a seizure.

“Yisak, Yisak, Choi Yisak……”

My mumbling voice was completely hoarse. It was so cracked that it was difficult to understand.

Suddenly, I felt like crying again. It was because Yisak was so incredibly lovely. The one who used to tremble in fear was now, at some point, a body that readily felt good from behind. Only I know this body.

Only we know each other.

Why did Yisak lie and pretend to be promiscuous? I started to feel sorry for having resented him inside all this time. I lacked faith. There was no way Yisak would do such a thing. We are fated partners…….

To control my ejaculation, I briefly pulled out my penis and buried my lips in Yisak’s shoulder blade. Yisak’s hole, which had been filled with my own, twitched, unable to close properly.

“Should I give you some water.”

As I whispered, Yisak’s back, which had been limply collapsed, flinched. He seemed to lack the strength to even move his head, so I personally held his chin and turned it to meet his gaze.

His eyes were swollen red. His cheeks were sullied with tears, saliva, semen, and sweat. It was a side of Yisak that one could never see normally. But did I cum on Yisak’s face earlier? My memory is hazy. Well, my own state was probably not much different from Yisak’s. I liked that. That we were both equally a mess.

Yisak barely moved his red, swollen lips and spoke.

“Thirsty……”

“Yes. I understand.”

I picked up a water bottle that was rolling around nearby. I held water in my mouth and kissed Yisak. Yisak gulped down the water I passed to him. Even after that, as if his throat was still burning, he pecked at my lips, so I gave him about three more sips.

After wetting his throat, Yisak mumbled in a voice that sounded like it would break.

“What, time is it now……”

“I think it’s about morning.”

I vaguely remember closing the blackout curtains because the sunlight started coming in at one point. At that time, Yisak had just finished cumming for the fourth time and was limp.

“Crazy…… you crazy bastard……”

I placed a short kiss on Yisak’s watery eyes.

“Fuck, I’m never, ever having sex with you again……”

“I love you.”

“Even a, dog…… wouldn’t be in heat like you.”

“I suppose so.”

Yisak, looking thoroughly angered, continued to spew curses. Was I a little too harsh? I looked over Yisak’s mottled shoulders and reflected. Without realizing it, my teeth marks were left here and there on his skin. From night until morning, I had never let Yisak out of my arms.

I wanted to stay stuck in bed like this for another two days, but because I love Yisak, I decided to respect his opinion.

“Okay. This is really the last time.”

“Fuc……”

“But it didn’t hurt, right?”

Yisak only let out a small sigh and did not answer.

It was worth the effort I had put into Yisak’s behind for months. We did not see blood during our emotional first union. There were no tears anywhere. That’s a relief. After observing others having sex several times, I was worried because it seemed quite common for there to be blood during sex. I did not want to hurt Yisak.

Yisak accepted me well. Even now, as soon as I brought my glans near his hole, my penis was sucked inside.

“Ha, ah……!”

“It seems you feel better doing it from behind.”

“Sh, shut up, you fucker.”

“I’m disappointed because I like facing you……. But what Mr. Yisak likes comes first.”

Yisak reacted particularly strongly at certain angles and positions. He moaned the loudest when I thrusted deep from behind. I made a good note of it, intending to use it for reference in our next sexual encounter.

I gazed at the back of Yisak’s head, which was damp with sweat, and slowly rotated my penis inside him. Since it was the last time, I wanted to do it slowly. While holding Yisak tightly, without any gaps, and sharing many whispers.

But then, a vibrating sound was suddenly heard. Bzz, bzz, Yisak’s phone was ringing. I was going to just ignore it, but someone kept calling relentlessly.

With my penis buried in Yisak’s deepest part, I extended only my arm and picked up the phone. Yisak mumbled.

“Give it……”

The three characters of the name Choi Geonyeong were displayed on the phone screen. For some reason, my stomach churned. I hate Choi Geonyeong. Even though we were business partners until just yesterday.

“It’s your second older brother.”

“Ah, then just hang up……”

“I’ll answer it.”

“What?”

I immediately answered the call and switched it to speakerphone. As Yisak flinched his shoulders in shock, the inner walls holding my penis tightened at the same time. I bit my lip to hold back a moan. A voice mixed with irritation and worry came from beyond the phone.

— Youngest, where are you right now. Why are you taking so long to get here?

“Hello.”

— ……What is this. Woo Seonrim?

“Yes.”

Choi Geonyeong’s tone quickly turned uncomfortable.

— Fuck…… why are you answering?

“Because we’re together.”

— Put him on the phone.

Yisak had frozen his whole body stiff with bewilderment and was burying his face in the bed. It seemed he was afraid that a moan might leak out.

“He says he doesn’t want to.”

— No, where are you right now.

“Why? Is something wrong?”

— What do you mean why. It’s because I’m worried that he’s been gone from the wake for so long. I’m his brother, and that means I have both the duty and the right to worry.

My stomach twisted every time Choi Geonyeong flaunted his relationship with Yisak by mentioning the half-blood they share. That man knew how to put a person in the worst possible mood.

“Mr. Yisak is…… safe.”

Yisak extended his right arm backward and fumbled his hand toward me. It was a gesture full of annoyance, as if telling me to hang up the phone quickly. I gazed at Yisak’s back and then slowly rotated my pelvis.

“Heugh…… heup!”

Yisak urgently sucked in his breath and bit down on the bedsheet with his teeth. However, the moan was quite loud, and it seemed to have been heard through the phone. Choi Geonyeong let out a rough, dry laugh and then raised his voice.

— What was that, just now?

“What was what.”

I buried my penis into Yisak’s deepest part. Yisak’s lower back was trembling. I would probably get hit once after this call was over.

— You, you fucking, no way, right?

As I slowly moved my hips, a wet, squelching sound echoed from where we were joined.

— You, you son of a bitch. I’ll kill you.

His voice grew increasingly menacing. The fact that I had cooperated with Choi Geonyeong last dawn felt distant, as if it had happened a long time ago. I was not pleased about joining hands with him, but I had no choice. I had to carry out the best plan I could come up with.

— Don’t tell me, you did that to the youngest…… wow, fuck. I raised him so preciously.

“Doesn’t seem like you raised him very preciously.”

— Get lost, you crazy perverted bastard. Fuck! Who do you think you’re laying your hands on.

“You once told me to take good care of Mr. Yisak.”

— That’s because I thought you would, huh? respectfully support the youngest……. Hey, give me the address right now.

“No. I will bring Mr. Yisak to the wake in the afternoon.”

— Hey!

“I’m hanging up.”

I hung up the phone just like that and changed the phone’s settings to silent. I do not think there will ever be a day when I come to like Choi Geonyeong. It was annoying how he acted as if he were someone special to Yisak. Not knowing his place. In the end, I was the one who thought up this entire plan.

After I hung up, Yisak spat out the bedsheet he had been biting and gasped for the breath he had been holding back. Then, he turned his body and swung his arm toward me with all his might. Thwack! I was hit on the side of my face by his arm. I thought Yisak had lost all his strength, but I guess it is because his innate physical stamina is good. The spot I was hit on was surprisingly tingly.

After striking me, Yisak froze for a moment as if surprised.

“……Fuck, why didn’t you dodge?”

“Because I felt like I did something that deserved to be hit.”

Yisak’s eyes darted around quickly. He must be flustered because he hit me harder than he expected. It did make a loud sound. Cute. I could even take a punch thrown by Yisak with all his might.

“Because you, huh? did something crazy, I had no choice but to……”

“I’m sorry.”

“F, fuc, how am I supposed to face Choi Geonyeong now.”

“Can’t you just not see him? You already decided to leave with me.”

“That’s that and…… hey, but have you two contacted each other separately…… heok!”

I had intended to accept all of Yisak’s complaints obediently, but this topic was troublesome. I had no choice but to powerfully push my hips, which had been moving gently. Thump, I angled my penis to the side and forcefully crushed the spot where Yisak felt the most. Yisak’s upper body immediately collapsed forward.

“Since this is the last time, let’s focus on just the two of us for now, Mr. Yisak.”

“Heu, eup, euht……”

His inner walls clung to me as if welcoming me. Fortunately, Yisak quickly lost his words and began to focus solely on our coupling.

Even if I were to be interrogated by Yisak later, for now, I wanted to fully savor our ecstatic moment. I did not want any other impurities to interfere.

Yes, it was all over anyway.

۶ৎ

The time when everything happened, was around 1 AM yesterday morning.

I had the Hae Won shaman in the passenger seat and I held the steering wheel. I had decided to drive her to the villa myself. Only a small number of people participated in the ritual that took place at dawn. The rest of the people, excluding the shaman, were following us in a truck with the ritual tools.

While driving on the dark dawn road, a withered hand slowly crept over to my side. I know well the look in the eyes of those who feel desire for me.

The shaman asked me in a higher tone than usual.

“So where do you live now?”

“I live in Seoul.”

I could feel that she wanted me. Her emotion was not the sublime love that Yisak and I shared, but something closer to a primitive sexual desire.

In fact, it was a good thing for me. Thanks to that, it became much easier to approach the shaman. This kind of situation was something I was very used to anyway. The moment an uninterested other yearns for me. The times when human sexual desire seems to exude such a vulgar and hideous smell.

I slightly opened the car window. The rough noise of the highway entered the car.

“The Chairman seems to really cherish you.”

“Is that so.”

“An opportunity like today is rare. You should get a position for yourself too. You’re not going to live your whole life just making music, are you?”

The shaman tilted her head askew and smiled. I looked straight ahead and answered drily.

“That’s right.”

“Oh, tell me a little more about your aunt.”

“Ask me if you have anything you’re curious about.”

We grew closer for our respective interests. I approached the shaman because she was currently the person Chairman Choi Byung-gwan relied on the most. I intended to use her as a middle bridge to make my connection with Choi Byung-gwan even thicker.

The shaman’s situation was not much different from mine. It seemed she intended to get as much information about Lee Seon-ju from me as possible. She said she was planning to hold a gut ritual to appease Lee Seon-ju’s vengeful spirit soon. If she mumbled things there that only an acquaintance of Lee Seon-ju would know, Choi Byung-gwan would be completely captivated and believe in her even more blindly.

Both Choi Byung-gwan and the shaman regarded me as Lee Seon-ju’s nephew. In truth, I do not know much about the deceased. The only thing I know is that my mother loved her and then went mad. Any other information was just things I had picked up vaguely.

So I roughly made up some lies and told them to the shaman. After all, she would not have a chance to use this information in the future.

Choi Byung-gwan will be dead within a few hours.

We were getting closer to the villa where Choi Byung-gwan was staying. The shaman held a bell in her hand, fiddling with it, and yawned widely.

“Oof, why am I so tired……”

“Go to sleep. I’ll wake you up.”

“I can’t sleep with the driver next to me, sweetie.”

“……”

“You have to do well later.”

The shaman said, blinking her eyes that were clearly full of sleepiness. I checked the clock with a sidelong glance. It seemed we would arrive at the promised time.

“Still, the kid is pretty so it’ll be worth doing.”

“The person coming as the misfortune bearer is your spirit daughter, right, Bodhisattva-nim?”

“Yes. The kid is fine. If I were just 10 years younger, I would have done it.”

The shaman giggled and tried to grab my hand. But her hand movements were incredibly clumsy and she could barely move properly.

“I’m driving without a license, so it’s a problem if you distract me.”

“Without a license? Oof, why am I so tired……”

The time had come. I checked the rearview mirror once and said.

“Sleep well.”

“……Huh?”

“From now on, don’t just readily accept food given by others.”

CRASH! A loud roar echoed on the quiet country road.

A van coming from the opposite direction passed us, suddenly crossed the center line, and crashed into the truck that was following us. Screeech, the sound of tires scraping the asphalt road was deafening. The shaman, unable to withstand the effects of the drug, fell asleep, only moving her lips. A sense of fear was visible in her eyes.

Thud, the shaman finally fell asleep and her head dropped. The truck, which was carrying her spirit daughter and the ritual tools, was slammed into the guardrail. Right after I pulled the car over to the shoulder, a call came in. I put the phone to my ear.

-How was it. My guys arrived right on time, didn’t they?

Choi Geonyeong’s voice was heard from the other side of the phone.

“You’re good at keeping your appointments.”

-We’ll take care of things here now.

“Those people won’t die, right?”

I looked at the accident scene unfolding behind me in the rearview mirror. The side of the truck was badly crumpled.

-Probably? The guys would have skillfully crashed into it. Well, our doctor’s skills aren’t bad either.

“……”

-It’s a bit much if several people die in one night. I’m almost there now.

I could see the headlights of a car approaching. It was Choi Geonyeong’s car. Choi Geonyeong would take the sleeping shaman and hold her captive. In the meantime, I would take the car and head to where Choi Byung-gwan was, alone.

-Just be careful not to get caught by the bodyguards.

Because today was a special day, the villa’s CCTV would be temporarily turned off during the dawn hours. I would sneak in, avoiding the security guards’ eyes through the entrance Choi Geonyeong told me about. And then, I would quietly finish ‘that matter’. This was our plan so far.

“Yes. I’ll handle it and contact you.”

However, my plan was a little different.

Neither Choi Jae-young nor Choi Geonyeong, no, anyone except Yisak, would be allowed to get everything they wanted.

۶ৎ

I walked confidently through the front door of the villa. The more people who witnessed me, the better.

“I came separately. The Bodhisattva-nim will be here soon.”

The bodyguard let me in without much suspicion. They would have already been told that I would be coming here at dawn. I was scheduled to participate in the exorcism ritual with the shaman. Well, that is what Choi Byung-gwan believes.

‘We must get rid of the misfortune that has clung to the Chairman. And my spirit daughter will receive the misfortune. Only people like us can perform such a role.’

It was a way of saying she would send her spirit daughter to have sex with Choi Byung-gwan. It was called an exorcism to sound nice, but it was no different from a sexual offering. It seemed Choi Byung-gwan had often done such things in the name of shamanism until now. It was not surprising. At the Su Dowon where I was, countless similar things happened, only with different names for the acts.

Choi Byung-gwan resembled my biological father in many ways. Indeed, he was a man who deserved to die.

‘But…… the Chairman, lately, his function is not working at all. Hmm? The yin and yang must be in harmony for the illness to be completely cured. Anyway, will you help out from the side?’

‘Me?’

‘The Chairman asked me to have Ms. Seon-ju’s nephew do something good. There will be a total of three women going in.’

It seems Choi Byung-gwan, after his sexual function had significantly declined, had shifted his tastes toward voyeurism of orgies. How could he be the same as my biological father in this way too.

Choi Byung-gwan had nominated me personally. It was not a simple coincidence. I had slowly and intentionally worked from the middle for him to do so. Deception and disturbance are my specialties.

When Choi Geonyeong found out his father’s current condition and passed it on to me, I would embellish the story plausibly and tell it to the shaman.

‘By any chance, is the Chairman coughing frequently these days? The other day, my aunt Seon-ju appeared in my dream and said…….’

Something like that. The order in which the story was adapted and passed on was as follows.

Choi Byung-gwan, Choi Geonyeong, me, Hae Won shaman, and then back to Choi Byung-gwan.

At some point, the shaman began to sincerely trust me. The same was true for Choi Byung-gwan.

‘The Chairman really seems to like you. He said you have a strong and special energy, and that he wants to call you over for this exorcism to receive some of your yang energy…….’

The wait was not very long. The day had finally come when I was invited to the exorcism ritual. The day I could approach a defenseless Choi Byung-gwan.

The day to finally get rid of him.

Thump, thump, I walked to the third-floor room where Choi Byung-gwan was waiting. It was around 2 AM. The inside of the villa was quiet. Perhaps because an orgy, which would be a scandal if it leaked out, was scheduled to take place, only a minimum number of servants and bodyguards remained on the first floor.

I was able to stand in front of Choi Byung-gwan’s bedroom door without being stopped by anyone. I checked my attire once more. The insulin solution and the recorder I received from Choi Geonyeong were safely in my pocket. In my left hand, I held a micro camcorder, contemplating where to place it for the cleanest shot.

Knock, knock. After a moment, I knocked on the door and said.

“Chairman, it’s Woo Seonrim. I came separately due to a matter. The Bodhisattva-nim will arrive in about 10 minutes.”

“……Huh? Oh, oh.”

A drowsy, muffled voice was heard. As soon as I entered the room, I locked the door with a click. Then, I quickly scanned the room’s structure as I moved inside, one step at a time. I saw several places where I could hide the camcorder. I mentally sketched various camera angles.

Choi Byung-gwan was lying askew on a large bed against the wall. He was wearing only a thin silk gown, and his cheeks were flushed. When I took a breath, I smelled wine in the air. It seemed he had been drinking beforehand.

I stopped in front of the side table and clasped my hands behind my back.

“Chairman.”

While pretending to be polite, I quickly moved my hands behind me. While I was carefully placing the small camcorder on a flowerpot on the side table, Choi Byung-gwan sat up in bed.

“Weren’t you supposed to come with the kids?”

Choi Byung-gwan said with slurred pronunciation. I took a step toward Choi Byung-gwan and tightened my lips.

“They’ll be here soon.”

“Are the kids pretty?”

“I haven’t seen the others’ faces yet.”

Choi Byung-gwan fumbled with the area of his groin over his gown. He seemed to be getting excited already, imagining what was to come. He looked me up and down and said.

“You can do everything I tell you to, right?”

“I will move as you wish, Chairman.”

I continued to speak as if I were someone accustomed to this kind of work.

“But will you only be watching? Or will you join in the middle.”

“It’s just that I can’t get an erection. It’s not easy for me to put it in and move…… aish, why is it so limp. Anyway, just hand them over to me at the end.”

Choi Byung-gwan’s breathing became slightly ragged, and his eyes, colored with desire, gleamed. Now he was openly putting his hand inside his gown and fiddling with himself.

“I have to touch it like this for a while for it to get a little hard.”

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting……. But for the greater cause of Yisak’s happiness, I must endure this moment.

“A guy like you wouldn’t know these troubles. It’s a good time for you. My body is like this, so I can’t even take medicine. When I was your age, I just, this woman, that woman, all of them……”

“I’m sure you did.”

“Being born handsome, you must have had your share of fun too.”

“So, speaking of which, are you not interested in something new? Since you say you have trouble getting an erection. In that case, stimulating the prostate is good.”

“The prostate? I’ve received it once or twice from the madams, but it wasn’t that great……”

“Receiving it from another man will definitely feel different. All the men who suffered from erectile dysfunction were satisfied.”

“But you, you bastard, turns out you were a male prostitute?”

“Ah, I have to live up to being born handsome.”

“Tsk…… but still, how can you tell me to show my ass. Aish, forget it.”

“You won’t feel refreshed even if you ejaculate like this.”

“That may be true, but……”

His face, subtly expectant, was nauseating. Of course, I had assumed Choi Byung-gwan would refuse, so it seemed I wouldn’t even need to use the method I had prepared.

“Since the Bodhisattva-nim seems to be a little late, shall I give you a massage in the meantime?”

There was only one reason I was making such a proposal to Choi Byung-gwan while suppressing my nausea. It was because his end had to be as ridiculous and sordid as possible. To the extent that the moment it is revealed to the world, all the authority and honor that the Jaeyu Group has built up until now will be shattered.

“Well…… what are you going to do? Will you touch me directly? Hmm.”

“Yes. May I go over there, Chairman?”

“You prostitute bastard, look at you staring with that handsome face. You’re quite the pro.”

Choi Byung-gwan muttered curses but also flicked his fingertips as if telling me to come over to his side. It was absurd. Choi Byung-gwan looked like a beast crazed with sexual desire. It was just like a man who lived with three wives at home. He knew nothing of fidelity, was promiscuous, and utterly vulgar.

Now that the pleasure he feels in the front has dulled, he is now prepared to be fucked in the back. To think he would entrust his ass to me, a much younger person who is not even a close acquaintance. He is on a completely different level from Yisak, who had hesitated cautiously for a long time. I had no idea how the blood of such a vulgar human being could be mixed in Yisak. As expected, I had to get rid of him as soon as possible.

“Would you like to take off your gown and lie down?”

I slowly walked toward Choi Byung-gwan, trying to calm my queasy stomach. My complexion was probably much paler than usual.

Of course, I had not the slightest intention of touching Choi Byung-gwan directly. Am I crazy? Why would I touch that old and vulgar ass. My goal was simply to capture Choi Byung-gwan’s hideous appearance well on the camcorder.

And when I feel that I have achieved my goal to some extent, I will take the breath from that old body.

۶ৎ

“Eu, ooeu…… oohot.”

I sat on the bed and looked down at the writhing Choi Byung-gwan. He was going wild all by himself. An Aneros, generously coated with gel, was inserted between his dirty buttocks.

“……You seem to be enjoying it.”

“Heoeok, heok.”

I do not know if he could even hear me. Choi Byung-gwan shook his own hips and made sounds like a beast crying. He did not hesitate much from the beginning, and everything went smoothly. All I had to do was gently guide him with my words and heighten his excitement.

“Chairman, you have a talent for this.”

“T, this is my first time……!”

I glanced once at the camcorder hidden inside the flowerpot. The image of Choi Byung-gwan on all fours like a dog, with only his ass lifted toward the ceiling and his belly fat shaking, would be captured in its entirety.

This was already shameful enough, but I decided to take advantage of Choi Byung-gwan losing his senses to dig up some stories from him. Squeeze, I grabbed the end of the Aneros and pushed it in forcefully. As his prostate was pressed even harder, Choi Byung-gwan made the sound of a crying beast again.

I looked down at him with a bored gaze and said.

“I’ll tell the Bodhisattva-nim to come in a little later.”

“Heok, eok, just tell her, tell her not to come…… you can do that.”

Choi Byung-gwan twisted his body and fiddled with his penis, which seemed to have hardened for the first time in a long while. Ah, so disgusting……. This is truly not a job for a human being. I wanted to finish this quickly and go home to see Yisak.

“But you still have to do the exorcism.”

“Huoeok……”

“They say the first madam who passed away holds a deep grudge.”

“Th, that’s all…… because I was trying to do something big, and that wench, d, didn’t, heok, want to help……”

“I heard the first madam also took her own life.”

“W, why talk about such unlucky things now…… hiyaak!”

As soon as I pressed down hard on Choi Byung-gwan’s back, he made a sound like a pig being slaughtered. It was bizarre. It seemed he felt good because his penis was being crushed between the bed and his belly fat. He looked like he was losing his mind.

“Aeu, aeuu…… b, breath…… heok.”

Choi Byung-gwan’s breathing quickened.

“Let go…… I can’t, can’t breathe……”

I stood up and completely stomped on Choi Byung-gwan’s back with my foot. It was about time to end it, and I had no intention of letting him go easily.

“Mmm. I’ll let you go if you tell me why the first madam committed suicide.”

“Th, just, heok, heok, a client, g, go to a client and entertain, entertain them a little…… she, she couldn’t stand that, heok……!”

Choi Byung-gwan’s body was increasingly convulsing. Even in this state, it seemed he was getting aroused because of the Aneros inserted in his ass. Moans were mixed in with his pained voice.

“Ah, so you told the madam to sell her body to a client?”

“Heuep, heok, heok…… heok.”

“And she committed suicide because she couldn’t overcome her anger. That makes sense. Chairman, you are truly trash. Ah, something like you……”

is Yisak’s father, that is absurd. I swallowed the rest of the words. Because I did not want to drag Yisak into this situation.

“Heo, keok, heok, p…… please.”

Choi Byung-gwan’s neck was soaked in cold sweat.

“Why did your third wife commit suicide?”

“Keuheup, keuk.”

“No. I don’t need to ask to know. It must have just been horrible to live in that house.”

“Ggeuk, kkeuk.”

“My father was also like trash. That is probably why I feel the urge to murder when I see old, trashy middle-aged men.”

“Ggeu…….”

“That is why I am going to kill you. Consider it the realization of social justice.”

From the middle, I was engulfed in anger and lost my composure. Seeing Choi Byung-gwan’s disgusting behavior, the emotions I had suppressed momentarily surged.

So, I did not immediately notice that something was wrong with Choi Byung-gwan’s body. I thought he could not breathe because his chest was compressed from me stepping on his back. That the convulsions were just the aftereffects of pleasure.

“…….”

At some point, Choi Byung-gwan’s breathing became faint and then suddenly stopped.

I was momentarily flustered. Conscious of the camcorder, I slowly moved my body. I shielded Choi Byung-gwan with my body to prevent him from being filmed and checked his condition.

“…….”

There was no pulse.

What is this?

Choi Byung-gwan was dead. He had died.

There was no way he could have died from suffocation with the amount of pressure I had just applied. It took far more strength than one might think to suffocate a person. It was a fact I knew clearly from indirect experience.

I mulled over the various symptoms Choi Byung-gwan had shown just moments before. Putting it all together, this current situation…….

It just…… seemed like a heart attack.

Choi Byung-gwan was at an age and physical condition where it would not be strange for him to die at any moment. Since he had diabetes, it was plausible for him to have an acute arrhythmia. But still, to die like this? This ridiculously? Everything surrounding me felt like a farce.

From Choi Byung-gwan’s perspective, being murdered by me and closing his eyes while trembling in fear might have been a cooler ending. Dying while masturbating anally because his heart stopped. This was truly a pathetic and insignificant death.

……I wanted to be the one to cut off his breath.

I rechecked his no-longer-beating pulse and then composed my breath. A slight hitch had occurred in my plan. I could not kill a person who was already dead.

But I had to become a murderer. Only then would everything fall into place more cleanly.

“Oh, Chairman. You’ve fainted…….”

Conscious of the camera, I took out the insulin solution syringe from my pocket. I angled my body so that the scene of me inserting the syringe needle into his vein would be clearly filmed.

“Thanks to me, you will go peacefully.”

Will my acting look plausible? It has to. I pushed all of the solution into the corpse’s vein until the end.

I looked down at him for a long time, as if waiting for his breath to stop. After that, I took the hidden camcorder in my hand and more thoroughly captured the inside of the room with the lens. First, I showed my face filling the screen, and then I captured the entire image of Choi Byung-gwan, dead with a sex toy inserted in his ass.

Then, I removed the SD card and transferred the video file to my phone. The world is so convenient these days. Everything can be done with just one phone.

I immediately sent a part of the video to someone.

[If you ignore it, I will post it on the internet]

[Just one press of a button and it gets uploaded immediately]

I squatted down right next to the bed with the corpse. The wait was not long. A call came in right away in this early dawn. Choi Jae-young’s burner phone number appeared on the screen.

As soon as I answered the phone, an angry voice hit my ear.

— This, what is this right now. Hey, you son of a bitch. What the hell did you do!

“I told you last time. That I wanted to kill Choi Byung-gwan.”

— You fucking bastard.

“It would be quite troublesome if a video like this were to be leaked, right? In terms of the corporate image.”

— Is Choi Yisak next to you? Did you do this together? Put him on the phone right now.

“No. Mr. Yisak doesn’t know anything.”

— Then who the hell helped you. That’s the nursing villa, isn’t it. How did you get in there.

“You’re the one who has to guess who it is.”

He will eventually find out that the traitor is Choi Geonyeong. There is no need for me to tell him in advance. In fact, Choi Geonyeong must have helped me without anticipating the situation up to this point. That after I killed his father, I would use that as leverage to threaten his older brother.

Choi Geonyeong’s intentions and emotional state were very simple. He just wanted Choi Byung-gwan to die quickly so that Yisak could be comfortable. Even if the stock prices fluctuate and the conflict between the first and third sons intensifies as a result. In the first place, his personality was far from the meticulousness of someone like the first son who weighs all the practical benefits before aiming for the best time.

— Do you know what you’ve just done?

“I do. I killed a person.”

Although Choi Byung-gwan’s breath had stopped before I could lay a hand on him, I wanted to inflate the crime as much as possible. That way, I would seem even more like a crazy person.

— Do you think you’ll be safe after doing this? You’re going to jail too.

“Sorry, but I plan to turn myself in. I committed this crime with the intention of going to jail in the first place.”

— What?

“I’ll go to jail. I have to. I know it’s a bad thing. But because of your father, the person I care about was having such a hard time…… I just couldn’t stand it.”

The sound of something breaking was heard from over the phone. Choi Jae-young, whose well-laid plans had all collapsed, could not control his anger.

— Who said not to kill him? I told you to wait for the right time. Is there something wrong with your brain. Do you have anger management issues or something, fuck.

“Why should I have to wait? I felt like killing him today.”

— Hah…….

“Because the management rights dispute is still ongoing? Because you’re afraid of the stock prices crashing? I know you have one M&A deal in progress.”

— You know and you’re still asking, you son of a bitch.

“But these are all things that are troublesome for you, it’s none of my business, is it? It seems there will be a dirty fight ahead. I’m sorry to hear that.”

— …….

Silence fell over the phone. Then, Choi Jae-young covered the speaker with his hand and began to pour out angry mumbles to himself. ‘This crazy perverted old man…… causing trouble for me even in the moment of his death……’ It seemed to be something along those lines.

After a moment, Choi Jae-young said in a subdued voice.

— What do you want.

It seemed he had regained some of his composure. Now that a proper conversation seemed possible, I also opened my mouth calmly.

“Choi Yisak’s safety.”

I laid out what I wanted clearly.

“I don’t need anything else. Get out of Mr. Yisak’s life. Mr. Yisak is having too hard a time because of you all.”

— …….

“That’s really all. It’s simple, isn’t it. Where else would you find such a profitable deal. I didn’t commit this act for my own selfish desires.”

A deep sigh was heard from over the phone.

“For Mr. Yisak to live safely while enjoying the affluent life he has now. That is the only thing I want. If you try to drag Mr. Yisak into your dirty business again, I will immediately release this video, turn myself in, and go to jail. We’ll be ruined together.”

— …….

“If you kill me to try and shut my mouth…… my acquaintance will immediately release the backup copy to the world.”

— You even called a friend for this? There’s a crazy bastard who helps you?

Of course, it was still a friend in my imagination. Who should I entrust this to? One face came to mind immediately. Han Ye-seo. She was someone who cared for Choi Yisak and also had guts. I would have to meet her separately later and talk to her.

“You must be curious about who my acquaintance is who will help me. But if I feel like you, the Vice Chairman, are investigating my surroundings, I will again immediately release the video and go to jail. We die together.”

— ……Hah.

“I am a person with nothing to lose. That’s why I’m not greedy and what I want is so simple. I just want our Mr. Yisak to live comfortably. That’s all.”

— You son of a bitch……. You, this isn’t normal.

“I have never once in my life thought that I was normal. So saying something like that doesn’t really affect me.”

Choi Jae-young is too greedy. On the other hand, I only have Yisak. A person with a lot to lose can never win in a negotiation like this.

“And are you so normal, making Mr. Yisak do all sorts of things just to satisfy your own ambition for power. Let’s handle our own affairs ourselves. You’re not a child, are you.”

I said, staring blankly at Choi Byung-gwan, who was dead in a grotesque prostrated position.

“So please give me an answer on what you’re going to do. I’m in a hurry.”

— ……First, get out of there right now.

“Wouldn’t it be better for you, the Vice Chairman, to come here? The scene needs to be cleaned up. And I need to get home quickly but I don’t have a suitable means of transportation. Please call me a car.”

— Fuck…….

While listening to the curses Choi Jae-young spat out as if chewing on them, I smiled faintly. It was because I intuited that it was my victory, just as I had expected.

In order not to arouse Yisak’s suspicion, I had to return home as quickly as possible. I had switched the sleeping aid that Yisak usually took to a higher dose, so he would be in a deep sleep. Even when I secretly left the house, Yisak showed no signs of waking up.

The first thing to do upon returning home. Erase the CCTV backup file from Yisak’s phone. Because the footage of me leaving the house would have been recorded in its entirety.

He might become suspicious someday. It was natural for him to find it strange if he discovered that the video footage was missing only for the time period when Choi Byung-gwan died, of all days. Well, if it comes to that, it cannot be helped. That too is fate.

In the first place, I had no intention of pursuing a perfect crime. Just as I had threatened Choi Jae-young, I was already prepared to turn myself in. If the negotiations do not go as planned, I will have to go to jail. What other choice is there? I just hoped that on the day of executing this whole plan, Yisak would not stop me.

Later on, Yisak might feel something strange and question me, or find out what I did and leave me, or report me……. Such gloomy imaginations do come to mind vividly.

However, I did not want to deceive Yisak for the rest of my life. This was my way of loving. I am not afraid.

Deep down, I was also curious about Yisak’s reaction when he finds out everything. If he accepts me even after knowing everything, it would be the clearest proof that we are destined.

Actually, if I were Yisak, I think I would be very happy to know the truth. I would consider it a gift. Because I killed the person he loathed. No, isn’t it rather something to be praised for?

Suddenly, I remember a stray cat I met when I was young. After I fed it a few times, one day the cat hunted a mouse and left it in front of my door. I was flustered when I first encountered the mouse’s carcass, but I was soon thankful and happy. Because that was the cat’s way of expressing affection. I looked down at the mouse for a while, then carefully picked it up and buried it in the flowerbed.

It is an apology to the mouse to compare Choi Byung-gwan to it……. The point is, I spent today with the heart of choosing a gift.

If I dare to guess, Yisak might find my gift gruesome, but he was not the type of person to throw me away. We had similar wavelengths. Yisak would understand my language, my way of expression, my way of loving.

I arrived home feeling both anxious and excited at the same time. I quickly deleted the CCTV file as planned and changed into my pajamas.

Yisak was still sound asleep on the bed. I dawdled and lay down next to him. The blanket, which held his body heat, was warm. I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep, and focused only on the sound of Yisak’s breathing. My chest tickled.

I hope Yisak never lets me go. I wished for it earnestly in my heart.

A few tens of minutes later, Yisak’s phone began to ring. It would be a call from Choi Jae-young after he had organized the situation to some extent. Yisak, who was in a deep sleep due to the sleeping pills, could not hear the ringtone.

I slyly nudged Yisak with my leg. After tickling the area around Yisak’s shin a few times with my cold toes, Yisak’s eyelids trembled and he let out a pained sound.

“Eueu……”

When the second call came, fortunately, Yisak came to his senses and opened his eyes. I pretended to be asleep while Yisak talked to Choi Jae-young. My desperate acting seemed to have worked well. As soon as Yisak hung up the phone, he shook my shoulder to wake me up and mumbled with a dazed expression.

“President Choi…… is dead.”

Only then did I slowly open my eyes.

Hoping that he would rejoice in my love.
