Picked Him Up on the Way

Read

He was running from someone. Then he woke up in a hospital. The man who brought him there said,

“Perpetrator and victim.”

“…Sorry?”

“I’m the one who cracked your head open.”

He hit him with a tool. Because of that, he ended up with amnesia. The same guy who gave him a head injury suddenly brought him home, gave him a bed, food, and even paid him a salary. Then he said,

“You look like our Songi.”

…Songi? A girlfriend?

It felt rude to ask, so he just stayed quiet and let him spoil him.

“When I’m with you, it’s like being with Songi again.”

He kept looking at him with this gentle gaze.

Are we really supposed to be doing this?

his head was a mess. Heart pounding. he tensed up trying to stay quiet. Should I cover my face with my hand and pretend to be asleep?

Should I roll over and fake tossing in my sleep?

What if Jeong Mok really tries something? That’d be terrifying. But he probably couldn’t fight him off. He’s stronger than him.

And if he gave him that look and asked to just do it once…

he did get a hundred million won in compensation, so maybe…

‘What the hell is wrong with me. I’m not even gay… right?’

The biggest crisis of his life showed up without warning.
