Boy Monster Chapter 109

Afterward, the two embraced each other again. There seemed to be no end to the pleasure. Shi Taehyun endlessly sought climax and fulfillment inside Jae Eunho’s body.

Carefully bitten until heat blooms erupted, his body opened up completely. That man’s physical form, enveloping both his body and deep psyche, sucked Shi Taehyun either into the abyss or up to heaven. It was a hole, an eye, a voice, and a skin that sucked in everything that was Shi Taehyun.

Lying beside Jae Eunho, who had fallen asleep after leaving word to wake him at 6:00 AM, Shi Taehyun sank into thought.

I feel like I talked a lot during sex. Was I the only one too excited? And didn’t I push too hard with pure strength? While scratching his head in embarrassment as he reviewed the one-night stand, Shi Taehyun came to the conclusion that, regardless, it was certain Jae Eunho had felt it until he passed out from exhaustion.

While soaked in the afterglow, he admired Jae Eunho’s naked body. So, what exactly does Jae Eunho want to say to me after staging a blockbuster-scale play by faking his own death just to call me out? What kind of excuse is he trying to prepare regarding the past?

“I really shouldn’t trust my teacher. I have no intention of being fooled again. Am I fucked?”

Shi Taehyun’s gaze indulged for a long time in the token of their connection. The demon-shaped pattern spread around Sa Yeonri’s belly and waist… and even the Chinese character ‘死’ (Death) engraved over his own heart.

We are connected.

The moment he intensely realized this, the vertical pupils of a beast suddenly appeared in Shi Taehyun’s eyes. The two sleek pupils flashed and moved rapidly through the darkness. It was as if he were dreaming with his eyes wide open.

Shi Taehyun felt an irreversible change. He couldn’t stop wandering through deep memories.

While Shi Taehyun’s eyes, which had been trapped in a dream, briefly returned to those of a human, he thought:

Sex is just sex.

Yeah. It’s just sex between a Hwelju and a Yeonri. I was attracted to his flesh just as designed by instinct. A spark of hormones occurring in a supernatural connection, the sexual desire derived from that, that’s all it is.

We just filled what each other needed.

Above his freezing face, the beast’s pupils moved without rest.

And how much time had passed?

Around the time a faint dawn began to shine beneath the curtains, Jae Eunho mumbled in his sleep.

“The operation… I’m going to stop it……. It never happened, stop everything. Don’t set out… Hwonwoo…, wait……!”

Waking up from his sleep with a heavy gasp, Jae Eunho met eyes with Shi Taehyun, who was looking down at him in the dim dawn light. Shi Taehyun said, “Sleep more.” Jae Eunho, exhaling rough breaths in and out, replied like this, as if unable to distinguish it from a dream:

“Don’t go there today. The operation is all canceled. Don’t go.”

If it was the operation, it meant the full moon of July 1941, the day Jang Hwonwoo became a monster. Shi Taehyun could only vaguely guess the meaning of his words. When he pulled the blanket up to cover him, Jae Eunho quickly fell back asleep.

Even after that, Shi Taehyun, who rolled his beastly eyes here and there for a long time, finally let out a dry laugh and wiped down his face.

“I’m really ruined…….”

:･⚜️⊹.️

“Ah.”

Jae Eunho, who was picking up a fishcake skewer, clutched his waist. Since they had joined their lower bodies like that last night, there was no way his waist and private parts would be intact. Shi Taehyun wrapped his arm around his waist. As he slid his arm under and lifted to support him, the weight was distributed, making it much more comfortable. Rather than worrying about onlookers, Eunho’s thick-skinned ego of “let me survive first” took precedence, so he let it slide.

“I told you let’s eat something delicious, so why come to a place like this, Mister?”

“There’s no time.”

Jae Eunho replied firmly while chewing his food. He needed to grab a quick breakfast and visit Lieutenant General Lim Geonhwi, but because it was early morning, no Chinese restaurants were open. To settle for the next best thing, they came to a street food cart. Since Jae Eunho, who was a grand 108 years old according to the Resident Registration Act, had a palate that wouldn’t touch a McMuffin or a bagel, there was no choice. Working professionals on their way to work passed by the street from early morning, sweating profusely while holding iced Americanos.

Shi Taehyun, who was picking at the stir-fried blood sausage and barely eating, had been unusually tight-lipped ever since they left the hotel. He looked lost in thought. Eunho spoke first in an attempt to brighten the mood.

“Why were you watching me at dawn? It was chilling.”

At dawn on the day of the operation, he had thought Jang Hwonwoo, who couldn’t hide the eyes of a slaughterer, was sitting on the bed. It was an appearance that reminded him again of the shaman’s words: a person who goes against fate like the wind and possesses the instinct for slaughter.

“Did I do any strange talking in my sleep?”

“You didn’t, Mister. And sleep is for humans; I’m perfectly fine even if I don’t sleep for two weeks, and it doesn’t matter if I sleep in blocks whenever I feel like it.”

Right. That guy wasn’t human, but a beast. This strength, with which he was currently supporting Eunho’s waist with one arm as if it were nothing, was actually an absurdly superhuman strength. Jae Eunho joked while watching Shi Taehyun peeling a boiled egg with one hand:

“Since you don’t even need sleep, you’d be perfect for rolling through missions day and night.”

Is this not it? He expected Shi Taehyun to give a thick comeback, but there was no reaction as he just focused on peeling the eggshell. It was a joke that usually worked in the NIS. Was it inappropriate right now since the misunderstanding hadn’t been cleared up yet? Eunho hastily smoothed over his words.

“That… night mission, I meant something else.”

Is this not it either? As expected, reading a romantic context was an incredibly high level of difficulty.

Sigh…… I wish I could turn back a few seconds and just shut my mouth, he thought with regret as he accepted the peeled egg handed to him.

From earlier, Shi Taehyun hadn’t really initiated conversations first, and his sly attitude was oddly rigid. Even the dense Jae Eunho could notice the change.

Jae Eunho was originally not a person who cared much about others’ reactions. If the person lost in thought beside him right now were anyone else but Shi Taehyun, Eunho would have just stared at his phone and endured the silence regardless of whether they spoke or not, and the street food would have been a 5-minute finish. Was it because they rolled around naked so much yesterday that affection had attached overnight? He felt anxious and impatient. Hiding his anxiety, Eunho asked:

“What’s wrong? Did I make some mistake, Mister?”

Shi Taehyun tapped a new egg against the plate and replied:

“You really are seriously an adult, Mister. Sex is sex, work is work. It’s clear cut. Even after spending such a hot night yesterday, it’s like nothing happened, you even make jokes. You look really cool, Mister.”

“It’s not about being cool.”

Jae Eunho stuffed the boiled egg into his mouth and expressed his honest feelings.

“I think I’m feeling a bit good right now.”

With his cheeks completely puffed up, Eunho subtly curved his eyes and smiled. At the radiant face shown for the first time by Jae Eunho, who always had a blank expression and only calculated what needed to be done, Shi Taehyun stopped what he was doing and had his eyes stolen away by it.

“…….”

However, unable to notice that, Eunho’s expression quickly returned to its original state. He was afraid of when this happiness he had felt since last night would disappear. That was why he had ended up reading the mood of Shi Taehyun, whose attitude had changed. Did he lose interest because he had possessed him once, or was it nothing special after actually having sex? Still, it felt good yesterday, but was I the only one who felt that way?

His throat got blocked from swallowing the egg whole. While chewing mumble-mumble and dropping his gaze so as not to get caught, a can of soda approached before his eyes. Soon, the breeze from a portable fan also cooled his forehead.

The moment he felt it was burdensome, Shi Taehyun, with a grinning face, hugged Eunho’s waist tightly and lifted him up.

“It’s my first time seeing our darling smile, and it’s pretty. I just fell for you again. Come here…!”

“Hey…!”

“You’re carrying my seed, so you have to be careful. Don’t lift a single finger, I’ll feed you. Ah–!”

With a disgusted expression, Eunho pushed away the guy’s lips and wooden chopsticks. It was an appearance where the vibe that had been chilling all morning vanished in an instant. Seeing his crazy attitude that didn’t give a damn about the food cart owner or the surrounding onlookers, it seemed he had returned to his original self.

Come to think of it, no matter how hot the weather was, no one was coming to the food cart. It should be normal for it to be crowded during commute hours, but only the surrounding shops were teeming with crowds of people. He newly came to examine how threatening the guy’s outward appearance was. How menacing the physique standing and wrapping around Jae Eunho, the back, and the patterns on the forearms with rolled-up sleeves were, that customers wouldn’t approach just by looking at his back. It was a relief that no one saw the sickening display of affection just now.

Because I misunderstood that you were too cool about sex when you were simply feeling good, you were that cold all morning because of that? Just because of that? Even if I were cool about a one-night stand, why? Toward Jae Eunho, who was tilting his head, the guy suddenly threw words in an aggressive tone.

“I have a demand.”

“A demand? What kind of demand about what?”

“Why do you think I nicely and quietly entered as a temporary agent of your S.E.T.U, Mister? Do you think I’m such a righteous and pure guy?”

“…Can’t you just be a bit righteous and pure?”

“Of course I did it to make you absolutely listen to my words, teacher.”

Eunho, who was about to shoot a retort back at him as he scoffed loudly while lowering the ends of his eyebrows, flinched. Yesterday, he definitely said that if he backed off one step first, he would okay the recruitment proposal…… but… because I was so bad at masturbation, it ended in the middle….

“Beating and killing people, I’m always more than welcome to do that. From now on, I’m going to take care of all of those things for you, but I won’t do it for free. What do you think I’ll de–mand?”

Jae Eunho, who felt like he knew what he wanted, shut his mouth.

“In exchange for rolling me to your heart’s content as a subordinate agent, one, you must absolutely never leave my side, and two, whenever and wherever, you have to do what I want.”

Mating.

Within that condition, is the sub-premise of “whenever and wherever” a safe premise?

However, it didn’t seem like there was much to worry about, and from Eunho’s perspective, it was an agreement where the benefits outweighed the losses. With Jae Eunho’s long silence, a sexual demand rights agreement containing toxic clauses was concluded. The two toasted with paper cups containing fishcake broth to confirm the agreement.

Beneath the sound of cicadas, Jae Eunho thought deeply.

Does it mean that having sexual intercourse with me is an objective worth that much of a demand to Shi Taehyun…?

It was clearly a sex slave contract containing toxic clauses, but rather than being displeased, he kept chewing over the meaning. Hmm… somehow… I feel like I’m being swayed by that bastard. Detecting that his heartbeat was thumping more than usual, Jae Eunho unnecessarily changed the subject.

“Eat quickly. We have to eat quickly and go to interrogate.”

“Interrogate? Who, Mister?”

“…….”

At the phone call from Lieutenant General Lim Geonhwi, which had rung Eunho’s phone of all things, Shi Taehyun’s smile subtly froze.

Shi Taehyun released his arm and gripped the shelf with both hands. When the food cart shook violently, he said, “Oh, my bad,” and then crossed his arms. While catching the breeze from the portable fan, the guy muttered as if reciting a sutra, “Fuck, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva… Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva… endure it. If I kill again when it hasn’t even been a week, that’s a bit much. Endure it… endure. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.”

Shi Taehyun, who turned around after finishing the payment, struck up a conversation casually.

“And I’ve decided on the next sex location, Mister. In the room where you have your interview with Lim Geonhwi.”

“…Ah, really? It’s creative. If it’s too stimulating from the start, the steam might escape later, so be careful.”

Even so, he couldn’t be serious. It must be a joke.

It would be a joke…….

By all means, it would be a joke…….

Jae Eunho, who was suppressing the anxiety surfacing in a corner of his heart, decided to react even more casually instead. When leaving the food cart, he pulled the guy’s arm and played around.

“What are you doing, aren’t we going to do it quickly? And. Are you going to make me walk in this sweltering heat? You said don’t lift a finger because I’m carrying your seed. Hurry up and carry me on your back. Where did the fan go, can’t you see the sweat forming on my nose?”

It felt like it had been a long time since he laughed like this. Among the males who dealt with murder, terrorism, and counterintelligence every single day, smirking was all he did. Shi Taehyun, who was watching Eunho scattering a transparent laugh, furrowed his brow as if troubled.

“I was absolutely never going to say this. Ah…!”

Shi Taehyun, who burst out a deep sigh, lifted the portable fan. As he stood close, a shadow fell over his face, making it cool. Above the sound of the motor, a dark voice carried over.

“You, I mean. Don’t look for the love you didn’t receive from your parents in me. Go look for it somewhere else.”

“……!”

When he lifted his head with a frozen face, the other man calmly continued his words:

“Your words are harsh, Sa Yeonri. It’s the opposite. I came to give you love. Heh.”

On a sweltering August morning, beneath Jae Eunho’s sweat-soaked forehead, his two eyes shook violently. Inside the black eyes, an eye-light like starlight surged. Shi Taehyun faced his faded pupils.

“Right around up to here, the empty memories were filled up dawn today, Mister. After the connection with you was strengthened.”

Eunho finally came to know the bigger reason why he had been lost in thought all morning.
