Boy Monster Chapter 66

“This body is the flesh with which I will share my lifelong soul. So even if I appear as a man blinded by lust, I also wish to offer my raw desire as it is, without holding anything back.”

Jae Eunho mulled over Jang Hwonwoo’s words for a long time. A hot sense of fulfillment filled his body, to the point where he resented him for reciting such words.

Even knowing they were just words, it was a whisper that captivated him. This might have been the verbal skill the kid learned while navigating the wide world. Would anyone be able to win against this attitude of polite seduction, with such a body and gaze? It would be a difficult task for any woman or man. Due to his last remaining hesitation, Jae Eunho held his tongue.

“Please accept it. I hope that my other firsts will also be with you, Jae Eunho.”

Jang Hwonwoo kept his gaze lowered on the silent Jae Eunho, his quiet voice flowing out.

“Use my existence and body, my sexual desire and heart, as you wish, Teacher. Is any greater confession needed? Use my body and soul as you please.”

He seemed ready to whisper endlessly if Eunho didn’t answer. Jae Eunho thought of the many reasons he couldn’t permit him. The shame he felt for himself for craving a body burning with heat and vitality, the gaze of the head of the family, the shock the other Yeonris would receive and their turning away from Jae Eunho, the bloodline of Sa Hwelju that would one day appear, the bleak era….

He condensed everything that weighed on his mind into one thing and offered it.

“Hwonwoo…. You know that my body belongs to Sa Hwelju, don’t you?”

“What does that matter? I will be your master.”

Jang Hwonwoo, as if doubting what he had just heard, made Eunho, who was trying to sit up, fall back down by tickling his neck with the tip of his nose. As Jang Hwonwoo finished speaking, a ghastly energy seemed to flash in his eyes, but it must have been a trick of the mind. Jang Hwonwoo, with a gentle smile, added.

“I do not want the other Yeonri. I want you to be connected to my spirit.”

“……”

“I want you to become one with my body.”

Jae Eunho raised a hand and touched Jang Hwonwoo’s hair, following the line of his part. It might be a possible story until the bloodline of Sa Hwelju appears. But he had to calculate what would become of the era and the fate of their homeland, what the future of the Sashimcheon family would be. Right now, personal feelings are a luxury and a taboo for me….

“When will you permit me? So that I may enter inside you….”

He would soon become a First Lieutenant in the Japanese army and the head of the Sashimcheon family. After that, he could command Jae Eunho with orders. If he set his mind to it, it wouldn’t be difficult to forcibly spend a night or two with Eunho.

But tonight, he had started a riot to block Eunho’s path and was persistently seeking permission. That fact made the corners of his eyes grow hot and wet.

As the soft sensation pressed against him again, Jae Eunho, with his mouth parted, repeated to himself. I must calculate the future… Personal feelings are taboo….

However, the moment Jang Hwonwoo’s hot shoulder covered his upper body and his body heat poured over him, all his thoughts scattered and melted away. Jae Eunho wrapped his arms around his back and let his eyelids fall.

“After the great undertaking.”

He had thrown in the towel, surrendering completely to the sweet temptation of entrusting his body and mind to a passion he was caught in for the first time in his life. Even if he left later, whatever came next, he wanted to embrace the now. He couldn’t help it even if he was blinded by the shaking and trembling that might be his first and last. Feeling the walls he had built up crumble, Jae Eunho declared in a faint voice.

“Become my master.”

Jang Hwonwoo’s chest trembled greatly, unable to hide his agitation. After calming his breathing for a while, he broke the silence and answered.

“Yes.”

:･⚜️⊹.️

For a few days, Jang Hwonwoo’s daily life was like strolling through a dream filled with clear clouds.

Since Jae Eunho had accepted his courtship, there was no need to command him by force. He had been prepared to tie him by his side, even by force, if things didn’t go his way, so it was a relief not to have to do such a thing. Jae Eunho, too, felt a certain degree of physical attraction to Jang Hwonwoo, and he held a great fear of losing him, on whom he had relied for a long time… The night he confirmed that fact, Jang Hwonwoo tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

—Teacher, why did you make so many of those paper lanterns?

—Because someone was making my insides burn.

A short while later, Jae Eunho fell soundly asleep. Drops of sweat from Jang Hwonwoo’s face fell onto Jae Eunho’s face, plop, plop…. Jang Hwonwoo quietly watched the droplets that moistened Jae Eunho’s cheek.

As a bead of sweat dripped onto the bridge of his nose, Jae Eunho let out a childlike cough. When he gently smoothed out the frown on his brow, Jae Eunho fell into a deeper sleep with a more peaceful expression.

The Jang Hwonwoo who had been wearing only a soft, affectionate smile was not there. In front of the sleeping Jae Eunho, he had returned to his original self, his face extremely cold and venomous.

‘The bloodline of Sa Hwelju will not appear.’

Now, Jang Hwonwoo would take both the positions of First Lieutenant and head of the family. Jae Eunho, who had been the property of Sashimcheon, would inevitably become the property of the new head, Jang Hwonwoo.

‘My property.’

Thinking of those words, a ticklish desire warmed him from below. They were words that made his heart pound every time he repeated them.

‘Mine… The Yeonri who will permit his body only to me.’

He would be happy no matter where he went with him. The thought that he belonged to him and no one else made his heart race and his ears grow warm.

—Become my master.

“……”

Recalling the faint, intelligent voice, a fire ignited in his chest and his core. His ears grew scorching hot, and Jang Hwonwoo shook his head hard and slapped his own cheeks.

That one phrase whispered by Jae Eunho, with his mouth and body wide open, was a plea that had never existed in any fantasy starring Jae Eunho. He couldn’t stand the heat rising in his breath. He wanted to hear those words one more time, and next time, he wanted to hear even more erotic words. The endlessly rising desire was no different from an addiction.

Jae Eunho’s request and declaration had lit a deep fuse in the mind of the male named Jang Hwonwoo. Jang Hwonwoo had reached a point where he couldn’t bear it without burning that flame and pouring it out.

In their relationship, none of the phenomena that occur when a Hwelju and Yeonri are connected would appear. The mark, the genitals changing to fit each other, the restriction from having relations with other Hweljus and Yeonris. He couldn’t obtain any of the mysterious signs of connection, but it didn’t matter.

I want to connect him. I want to become his Hwelju.

A desire as intense as the instinct to live had captured one man’s life. Jang Hwonwoo moved solely for that goal. As if no other desires existed.

What Jang Hwonwoo had to do to become Jae Eunho’s master coincided with his own purpose. To start a rebellion that would make people forget them.

For a successful rebellion, a great undertaking was needed to throw the Japanese army into chaos. That night, until a few minutes before falling asleep, Jae Eunho had repeatedly explained the points of caution for the assassination plot to Jang Hwonwoo. Leave only the footprints of the two targets, don’t leave your fingerprints or blood, be sure to burn the fabricated telegrams, and absolutely do not get hurt….

—Won’t you be entering my mind to see and hear everything at the scene of the undertaking anyway? Are you that worried?

When he had answered like this, Jae Eunho had caressed his cheek and nodded. At that time, he probably had no idea that Jang Hwonwoo would move up the date of the undertaking.

Today, a few days later, Jang Hwonwoo had finished preparations to carry out the assassination two days early. The date they had decided on in discussion with Prince Ui was the day after the summer solstice, but from the beginning, Jang Hwonwoo had no intention of bringing Jae Eunho to the dangerous scene.

Jae Eunho doesn’t know that Jang Hwonwoo has come to deal with the targets by himself today. He would be in his room, completely unaware, researching how to make fake pills.

‘You said you would permit me your body after the great undertaking, Teacher.’

Jang Hwonwoo muttered to himself and smiled. His face covered by a black mask, Jang Hwonwoo watched from high up in a tree. At the thought of eliminating the Deputy Commander who drooled over Jae Eunho, a fierce spirit pounded in his chest.

It was a location with a clear view of the brothel district near the Deputy Commander’s mansion. This brothel, where women sold into debt or retired courtesans gathered, was a place the Deputy Commander often visited, making it a suitable location for the murder.

He had sent a telegram to the Deputy Commander, written in imitation of the Yeongheung Bay Division Commander’s handwriting. The content was a proposal to meet to offer a large bribe. The Deputy Commander responded to his subordinate’s request. He had intercepted and disposed of the Deputy Commander’s reply in advance and sent a different order to the Division Commander. The Deputy Commander has summoned you to the brothel, bring the order and come by 10 o’clock. He had just burned that order as well.

Jang Hwonwoo lowered his gaze below the forest. It was to check on the condition of the Division Commander, whom he had knocked out beforehand.

A little while ago, he had struck the Division Commander, who had arrived first at the meeting place, on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious, then tied him up and thrown him into the woods in advance. He couldn’t kill him first because he had to match the time of death.

‘Five minutes? Ten minutes at most, I suppose.’

He grew anxious, not knowing when the Division Commander would wake up. He had taken firm measures to ensure he couldn’t resist even if he woke up, but it was less risky to work while he was unconscious.

Just in time, he saw the Deputy Commander’s car entering the brothel. Jang Hwonwoo quietly flew down from the tree. Jang Hwonwoo’s face twisted like a whirlwind and changed into the Division Commander’s. Jang Hwonwoo lifted the unconscious Division Commander’s legs and swapped their fake military boots.

Holding the Division Commander, who had the exact same face, build, and attire as himself, in one arm, Jang Hwonwoo lightly flew over the wall and, without effort, floated in the air and passed through the window. He maintained a light flight to leave no footprints as he slipped into the room through the back door.

Jang Hwonwoo hid the unconscious Division Commander behind a folding screen and sat down at the table set with drinks. The sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway grew louder.

“This way, Your Excellency, the Deputy Commander!”

“The Division Commander. Is he waiting already? You’ve searched him for weapons too?”

“Of course, he arrived early and is waiting. I searched him thoroughly as you instructed over the phone. He had nothing on him except for the personal defense pistol he always carries.”

“You confiscated it, I trust.”

“But of course! Here it is.”

While walking down the hallway, the Deputy Commander confirmed the weapon that the brothel’s madam had confiscated. Although he had disarmed his subordinate as a precaution, the Deputy Commander himself would surely have taken full protective measures with a loaded gun.

Inside the military uniform of Jang Hwonwoo, who was casually glancing at the paper screen door while downing a cup of liquor, was a small dagger that would slit their throats today.
