Kill Your X Chapter 54

Even after talking with CEO Kang for a long time, Seo Seunghan showed no signs of waking up. Unable to wait, I placed the back of my hand on his neck. The distinct pulse felt like a lie, so I stayed like that for a long time.

Having come this far, I don’t care what Seo Seunghan’s true identity is. The most important thing right now is his safety. The fact that someone who boasted overwhelming force returned in this state was highly suggestive.

“Young master. Let him sleep comfortably. If you keep touching him like that, he’ll have nightmares. You look gentle, but you have a dirty habit.”

“Are you leaving now?”

CEO Kang, who had been nagging me with useless advice, got up from his seat. While he was straightening his clothes, I opened the window wide to air out the room. Despite my efforts, CEO Kang immediately took out a new cigarette and put it in his mouth.

“I have to go. There are many people calling for me here and there, and I also need to check if the underlings have done their jobs well.”

“Kumto-pa is planning to end the situation by offering Seo Seunghan as a sacrifice, right?”

When the name of the organization came out of my mouth correctly, CEO Kang turned around with a smile. The way he stood with his hands in his pants pockets and one leg bent was the very image of a gangster.

“You grasp the situation well. As expected, a college graduate is different. This is why people need to learn a lot.”

“CEO. I have one question.”

“What is it?”

I finally managed to spit out the question that had been stuck in my throat.

“If Seo Seunghan hadn’t tried to leave the organization, would something like this have happened?”

CEO Kang withheld his answer to the question and only puffed on his cigarette. After checking his phone, he put out the cigarette in his personal ashtray and said.

“No. Even if he had stayed still, Seunghan would have eventually become the scapegoat within the organization. It’s no exaggeration to say that they kept him for this very purpose.”

Even though I heard the answer I expected, my guilt did not fade in the slightest. There were still some unresolved issues, but it was clear that I was also responsible for him being caught up in the whirlpool of the incident.

CEO Kang, who glanced at my confused state, threw a word at me.

“Young master, you should get out of this at this point. Go back to the life you originally lived and live well, and if puppy goes to jail, send him some food. Although that would be impossible if he gets the death penalty.”

“Why would Seo Seunghan go to jail?”

“Then is there another way? There’s no evidence that he committed a crime, but there’s also no evidence that he didn’t. If both sides collude and insist on it, that’s all it takes. I think a policeman’s son would know better than me how many loopholes there are in our country’s investigation system.”

The situation where even CEO Kang knew my father’s profession felt strange. Since I had a police father, CEO Kang seemed to have judged that I wouldn’t do anything reckless even if I knew the current situation. He must have figured out long ago that I wasn’t the kind of person with that much guts.

“When puppy wakes up later, tell him to refrain from taking walks for a while. This isn’t just something I’m saying, so take it to heart.”

“I know. With his body in this state, where would he go out? And there’s no guarantee that he won’t be attacked like this again.”

“The best thing would be to leave the country with him right away, but our puppy doesn’t have a passport. And I’m too busy to forge an ID for him in a hurry.”

CEO Kang checked his phone again. For some reason, he looked troubled.

“Are you telling me to run away in the middle of the night even though he hasn’t committed any crime?”

“Si Yeonho is dead.”

For a moment, my heart almost stopped. Was it because I had lived for so long knowing the man lying in bed as Si Yeonho? I realized a beat later that the person CEO Kang was referring to was someone else.

Si Yeonho. The only son of the Kumto-pa boss and my ex-boyfriend.

“CEO. Even if you’re joking, a joke like that is…”

“He passed away at 12:30 last night. The cause of death is said to be from sexual overexertion, isn’t his death just like him? Geez, I don’t know what’s going to happen with this.”

CEO Kang repeatedly warned me not to come out recklessly before leaving the house. I trembled with extreme anxiety as I looked down at the man who was still sleeping as if he were dead.

‘12:30 at night.’

Seo Seunghan died and came back to life. And at that exact moment, Si Yeonho died. It’s a coincidental timing to be just a simple coincidence.

If, just if, the hypothesis that CEO Kang had laid out as a joke was correct. If, for some reason, Seo Seunghan’s life had also been in Si Yeonho.

I placed my hands on his heart and near my own heart side by side. The strong beat no longer brought me relief.

If it’s true that Seo Seunghan has three lives, then there are only two lives left, the one he and I share.

✽✽✽

I almost fainted after leaving the house for a moment to get ingredients for a meal. He was clearly sleeping soundly before I left the house, but when I came back, the bed was empty.

“Seo Seunghan! Seo Seunghan!”

Could he have been kidnapped in the meantime? His body is not in a good condition, so if he gets hurt any more here, it’s really dangerous. The thought that I could really lose him this time made my eyes go crazy.

I was frantically searching for him when I stopped at the sound of water trickling from the bathroom. When I flung the door open, he, who was standing in front of the sink, turned to look at me.

“Gasp, hey…”

“Why are you sweating so much?”

Seo Seunghan nonchalantly turned off the faucet and put the toothbrush back in its place. I was at a loss for words for a moment at his overly calm attitude. The tears that were about to come out went back in.

“You… are you okay?”

“Yes.”

It was a question that didn’t need to be asked. The fatal wounds that were directly related to life and death had healed, but his body, seen under the bright light, was by no means in a normal state. A sigh escaped me at the sight of the stark surgical scar on his abdomen.

When I covered my face with my hands, he tried to close the bathroom door, thinking that I was disgusted.

“No, don’t close it.”

“I’m going to wash up.”

“How are you going to wash up in that state? You’re going to tear the surgical scar on your stomach if you raise your hand once.”

What am I supposed to do? Seo Seunghan blinked his eyes with that exact expression. His numb face was unbelievable for someone who had been seriously injured and come back to life.

“If you’re really uncomfortable, I’ll help you wash up.”

Seo Seunghan seemed a little flustered by my suggestion, but he didn’t refuse in the end.

When he took off his underwear and stood naked in front of me, I finally realized my mistake. It was because I had no experience washing another person, and a grown adult man at that.

“First, lean here and tilt your head back. It’ll be fine as long as water doesn’t touch the wound, right?”

“Yes.”

Seo Seunghan obediently followed my words. I sat on the edge of the bathtub and adjusted the water temperature. As I brushed his hair back and gently sprinkled water on it, he closed his eyes. I was relieved by his comfortable expression, but when I lowered my gaze a little, the large wound made me feel upset.

“All done. Now I’ll wipe your body.”

After contemplating the method, I decided to wipe his body with a towel soaked in water. The wound area was too large to use the showerhead to spray water.

I changed the wet towel several times and wiped his body as meticulously as possible. I tried not to show it on the outside because it was unseemly, but every time my fingers touched his bare skin, I was seized by an indescribably sentimental feeling.

I didn’t know how precious this warmth, this regular breathing was. All the elements of life that I had taken for granted until now came to me with a different weight.

It was good to confirm the evidence that he was alive up close, but I really didn’t want this much. I was dumbfounded by the sight I saw after mindlessly lowering the towel to his lower body and took my hand away.

“Hey. You get an erection in this situation?”

I thought I saw it wrong, but I didn’t. As I touched his body, his penis reacted in real time. It was a size that caught the eye even when it was still, but it was very annoying when it was like this.

“No matter how much a man’s body gets an erection when stimulated, you just came back from the dead, you really.”

“Sunbae is caressing my body so subtly, of course I’d get an erection.”

“This isn’t caressing, it’s helping you bathe, no, that sounds weird, but anyway, it’s something else.”

“I missed you, Sunbae.”

I was flustered by the sudden confession, but I tried to pretend I didn’t hear it and continued to wipe his body. Then his penis got bigger, and my mind became a complete mess. I don’t know whether to be happy that he’s healthy or not.

“I was worried about what to do if I couldn’t see you again, I’m so glad you’re alive.”

“Let’s go out now. I’ll dry your hair, ugh!”

He suddenly grabbed my face and kissed me. With a strong grip that could crush my jawbone, I had no choice but to accept the inconsiderate kiss. My back touched the marble wall, and his wet skin pressed against me.

Slurp, slurp. The sound of our saliva mixing was exaggerated in the bathroom. I couldn’t even touch him because his upper body was covered in scars, but he moved away on his own.

“Ugh, you really!”

“You go out first.”

He opened the door for me himself and walked past me to sit on the edge of the bathtub. I wiped my wet lips with my forearm and asked.

“Why, is there a part you want to wash more? If so, I’ll.”

Then Seo Seunghan silently pointed to his center. His face was so calm that I almost forgot. The dark red veins on the surface of his penis, which was expanded to its limit, stood out. It was so big it was disgusting.

“Your hands are hurt too, how are you going to masturbate?”

“Are you indirectly offering to do it for me?”

“Do you want to die?”

“No. I want to live now.”

I took a breath at the calm answer. The person who had acted as if his life wasn’t precious just a few days ago now desperately wanted to live. The thought that the change happened because of me made my heart feel heavy.
