Gutter Chapter 9.1

🚬

Yeonjo, who arrived at work a little earlier than usual, headed to the dry cleaner’s right next to his shop. As he opened the hazy glass door and entered, a stuffy smell of fabric wafted over him.

“Hello. I came to pick up the scarf I left here last time.”

The owner, who was ironing right next to the entrance, set the iron down in the corner. She stood in front of the hangers packed with winter clothes.

“Your name and the last four digits of your phone number?”

After Yeonjo’s reply, she took out a red scarf from the hanger at once and returned to her spot. Then, with a face that seemed to have a lot to say, she sighed.

“Old items like this are difficult to handle. The patterns are all messed up, and if you’re not careful when removing the fuzz, it can all get ripped off.”

“Ah.”

“The ends here were very frayed, so I fixed them. Check it out.”

The owner spread the scarf out in front of Yeonjo. The parts that had been loosely hanging when he dropped it off were now neatly organized. Yeonjo smiled with satisfaction and took the scarf.

“Thank you. It’s not noticeable and looks nice.”

“If you can, just buy a new one. Aren’t scarves cheap these days? The cost of dry cleaning this would be more.”

“I’d like to, but… it’s meaningful to me.”

Touching the fluffy red scarf, Yeonjo smiled awkwardly.

That was because it was a scarf his grandmother had personally made for him a long time ago. Although he had left it at Mr. Kim’s house along with other belongings when his grandmother’s long-term hospitalization was confirmed, Yeonjo always made sure to take the scarf with him every winter.

A few days ago, Mr. Kim had suddenly contacted him and informed him that he would soon be entering a nursing home. He also asked Yeonjo to come and pick up any important belongings he had left with him. Although it was still too early in the season to wear something this thick, Yeonjo had taken the scarf from Mr. Kim’s house and immediately dropped it off at the dry cleaner’s in preparation for the deep winter.

“If it’s important, well… you should use it carefully.”

“Of course. Thank you. How much is it?”

Yeonjo handed his card to the owner. While she was calculating the cost, Yeonjo wrapped the clean scarf around his neck and checked himself in the mirror hanging on the wall. He recalled the curved side profile of his grandmother as she sat in the market, reading the instructions with her dim eyes, determined to make this herself.

Sometimes, when he felt too exhausted and wanted to give up everything, remembering the moment his grandmother was knitting the scarf somehow filled him with strength from within, warming his entire body. As it was too short to wrap twice, Yeonjo always wrapped it once around his neck and tied a knot.

“Oh my, perhaps because you’re a student, even this bright red color suits you well.”

At the mention of being a student, Yeonjo shyly averted his gaze.

“Here’s your card. But isn’t that your phone ringing, student?”

“Oh, it is.”

Feeling the faint vibration in his pocket, Yeonjo quickly took out his phone. He took his card with his other hand.

“Yes, auntie.”

The caller was his grandmother’s caregiver. Yeonjo opened the door of the dry cleaner’s with a serious expression.

—Uh-huh, Mr. Yeonjo. Are you very busy? Can you talk?

“Yes, please tell me. Did something happen to Grandma?”

—It’s not that there’s a problem with Grandma. Oh, right now at the hospital….

“Why at the hospital?”

Yeonjo asked urgently. The caregiver dragged out her words in a somewhat troubled voice. He was relieved that nothing had happened to his grandmother, but the caregiver’s unsteady voice made him anxious.

—Grandma’s grandson came to visit. With the police.

“What?”

Yeonjo, who was walking on the sidewalk, stopped abruptly. Because of this, he collided with someone walking behind him and his body swayed greatly.

—Grandma’s grandson. According to both Grandma and the police, he went missing 14 years ago…. His name is Lee Hanwook.

“That… what’s going on all of a sudden….”

—Well, anyway, I only overheard it, so I don’t know the details of what happened. They said there’s something they need to confirm, so Grandma, the police, and the grandson have been talking for a while now. Oh, it’s chaotic.

“…….”

—Anyway, so. Mr. Yeonjo, can you come to the hospital now?

🚬

The caregiver’s words were true. His grandmother’s missing grandson had appeared.

By the time Yeonjo arrived at the hospital, the conversation between his grandmother, her grandson, and the police was almost over. Although a few confirmation procedures remained, both the grandmother and the grandson, who had appeared out of nowhere, acknowledged each other’s existence.

The atmosphere in the hospital was chaotic. Because his grandmother had burst into tears, patients and medical staff had gathered around the ward.

The police compared the reported details with the grandson’s personal information, and after receiving contact information, saying they needed to process related documents, they left early. This was also influenced by the hospital staff’s earnest request not to cause further commotion in the ward.

Once the situation was somewhat settled, Yeonjo, who had been waiting for a long time, finally had the opportunity to speak with the grandson separately. They moved to the small smoking room located at the end of the hallway on each floor of the hospital.

“Do you smoke?”

While Yeonjo was contemplating how to start a conversation, Lee Hanwook, his grandmother’s grandson, spoke first.

“No.”

“Oh. I can smoke for a bit, right? Just one.”

“Go ahead.”

Yeonjo nodded as if it didn’t matter since it was a smoking area anyway. Even after lighting his cigarette, Lee Hanwook stood silently for a long time, staring at the sky. Due to the sudden turn of events, both of them missed the timing to properly introduce themselves, making the atmosphere incredibly awkward.

Yeonjo glanced at his appearance and tried to piece together the information he knew.

He didn’t know exactly how old Lee Hanwook was, but he knew he was considerably younger than himself. He must be in his twenties now. The real grandson of his grandmother, who, at the time of his disappearance, like Yeonjo, had no parents, loved Lego police cars, and was said to have been very affectionate.

Where and how did he suddenly reappear?

“Ha, I thought.”

“Yes?”

Lee Hanwook’s tone, after a long silence, was somewhat twisted. He openly looked Yeonjo, wrapped in the red scarf, up and down and let out a hollow laugh.

“A bunch of guys in suits came and asked me all sorts of questions, so I thought there might be something in it for me. But she’s just a penniless old woman lying in bed.”

“…….”

“They looked like gangsters, but I’m the idiot for even hoping. Ah, shit.”

Suits and gangsters. He didn’t understand what he was talking about, but Yeonjo tried to make sense of his complaint. Right. He heard that Lee Hanwook had adoptive parents. He wouldn’t have grown up missing a grandmother whose memory was fading, and he heard that he was living under a different name now, not Lee Hanwook.

To him, who was living well, the grandmother who contacted him one day might have felt out of the blue.

Although he understood it logically, Yeonjo was angered by his flippant attitude.

“What was your name again?”

“Cha Yeonjo.”

“Our grandmother took you in, but you don’t resemble her at all. Where on earth did she pick you up from…?”

“…….”

“I’m just saying this in case, so don’t take it the wrong way. Ha, so, by any chance… you didn’t find me now because of hospital bills, did you?”

Lee Hanwook stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, staring at Yeonjo with a wary look.

Yeonjo’s throat tightened. He almost cursed at him.

Who do you think I am, trying to burden you with hospital bills? Your grandmother was the type to quietly pass away from her illness, not someone who would ask such a thing of her grandson whom she finally met. So don’t speak carelessly.

Although the curses he wanted to hurl filled his head, Yeonjo barely managed to maintain his silence. It was because he remembered his grandmother’s smiling face he had seen just a moment ago. She hadn’t smiled so brightly since she was admitted to the hospital. He didn’t want to recklessly ruin her joy.

“Whoa, look at that expression. Relax your eyes. I remember Grandma too, and I’m grateful that she raised me instead of my mom and dad when I was young. But since the situation is like this, I’m just asking.”

“From your perspective… I think it could be sudden.”

“Good that you understand.”

At the curt voice, Yeonjo parted his lips several times. He was vaguely aware of his role, but he was struggling because the words wouldn’t come out easily.

“Saying something like this, I know it must be awkward to hear.”

Lee Hanwook tilted his head as if asking what he was trying to say.

“Even if it’s just occasionally… could you please visit Grandma’s ward?”

Seeing his lips curve downwards, Yeonjo added hurriedly,

“Even just briefly. It’s okay if you just say hello and leave….”

“…….”

“If it really doesn’t work, even by phone. Of course, we will never burden you, Mr. Lee Hanwook, with financial matters.”

Unable to face him directly, Yeonjo stared at the area below Lee Hanwook’s chin.

After seemingly pondering for a while, he spoke condescendingly,

“I can do that much. But, you know. The memories of that day are really hazy… it’s a bit unsettling whether I was deliberately abandoned or what.”

“Don’t speak so lightly when you don’t know anything. Grandma searched for you, Mr. Lee Hanwook, for a very long time. She thought it was all her fault that she… lost her grandson.”

When the indignant Yeonjo retorted, Lee Hanwook let out a hollow laugh. He seemed unconcerned about how much his grandmother had looked for him.

“So what? I lived my whole life thinking I was abandoned by Grandma. Even after being adopted by my current parents, I endlessly ruminated on my problems every night, wondering if there was something wrong with me. Do you understand that feeling?”

“…….”

“What do you know about me to be babbling like this?”

“…I wasn’t trying to say anything. I’m sorry. I just thought you were misunderstanding Grandma…”

“So what if it’s a misunderstanding? What the fuck use is it now? You’re not going to compensate me for my lost time.”

“Hanwook, are you still far away?”

His grandmother’s voice faintly echoed from inside the building. Yeonjo unconsciously hid himself behind a pillar. Hearing his grandmother’s affectionate voice calling for Lee Hanwook, he felt as if his insides were crumbling.

Lee Hanwook, who glanced at Yeonjo, shouted towards the inside of the building.

“Ah, just a moment. I’ll be right in!”

“It’s cold outside, so tell our Yeonjo to come in quickly too.”

Because it was a smoking area, his grandmother seemed to be standing at a distance, unable to approach. Yeonjo clenched his fists.

“Does Grandma also have dementia?”

“No. She doesn’t have any symptoms of dementia.”

“That’s strange.”

When Yeonjo looked at him as if asking why he was asking that, Lee Hanwook shrugged.

“Well, you know. She said she lost her grandson and picked up a stranger off the street and raised him. I briefly wondered if she had dementia.”

Lee Hanwook easily separated Yeonjo and his grandmother as ‘strangers.’

“Still, it’s not a good feeling to hear that she’s sick.”

“…….”

“If there’s nothing else to say, shall we go in? I’ll say hello to Grandma before I go.”

Before Yeonjo could answer, Lee Hanwook turned and opened the glass door. Entering the hallway, he took his grandmother, who was pacing in front of him, and entered the ward. Whether it was due to old memories or the minimum human decency, he smiled warmly as he held his grandmother’s hand. Like a real grandson.

Yeonjo stood in the hallway and watched them like an outsider. A little later, when Lee Hanwook came out of the ward, saying he had to take an urgent call, Yeonjo cautiously went inside, checking the coast was clear.

“He looks a lot like his father. My goodness, how much he must have suffered all this time.”

Seeing his grandmother’s eyes welling up again, Yeonjo was speechless. Even after crying so much earlier, his grandmother sniffled as she looked at the door where Lee Hanwook had left.

“Now that you’ve found him, you can see him often.”

“Yes, that’s what we should do. It’s fortunate that we met before I die.”

“…….”

“Thank you, Yeonjo.”

“For what?”

“Hanwook. You found him at your workplace, didn’t you?”

“My workplace…? What do you mean?”

Yeonjo dropped the blanket he was tidying up.

“A while ago, some men in black suits came and asked about Hanwook. They said they were from your company. Don’t you know?”

His grandmother picked up the blanket, dusted it off, and looked at the frozen Yeonjo with a puzzled expression.

“Ah. Ah…. Right. I must have been mistaken. I’ve been so busy lately.”

Relieved by the clumsy excuse, his grandmother laughed, saying he shouldn’t be so forgetful already. However, no sound reached Yeonjo’s ears.

“I wonder when I’ll be able to see him again after he leaves today. If I were in better health, I would make him some food.”

“Grandma, I’ll be back after using the restroom.”

He couldn’t bring himself to continue the conversation any longer as if nothing had happened. Without waiting for his grandmother’s reply, Yeonjo hurriedly ran out of the ward.

As he walked with his head down towards the restroom, curious glances from the surroundings flew at him like arrows. They were mostly people he had encountered while living in the hospital ward.

‘He wasn’t the real grandson?’

‘I overheard the police earlier, they said he was picked up.’

‘Oh my, really?’

‘And he pretended to be her grandson all this time?’

‘But he seemed like a good kid. Taking care of her, so devoted.’

‘Devoted? He barely visits once a month after admitting her here. He didn’t even come when Grandma had a bad cold.’

‘I heard Grandma was crying alone secretly the other day. Saying she raised him even though they weren’t blood-related. How lonely she must have been, only receiving help with hospital bills and not being visited.’

‘No wonder….’

Even if he didn’t want to hear it, their mocking voices entered his ears. Yeonjo wanted to cover his ears. But even that action would become new fodder for their ridicule. All Yeonjo could do was walk past them, pretending he couldn’t hear anything, with an indifferent expression.

Yeonjo flung open the restroom door as if fleeing and stood in front of the sink. In the mirror, he saw his flushed face, wrapped in the scarf.

I wondered how they suddenly found her grandson. He didn’t need to confirm who was behind it. It was obvious. His shoulders trembled uncontrollably. His chest churned with intense emotions as if it would explode.

Should he tell his grandmother everything? That the man who claimed to be her grandson only came here expecting some kind of benefit. Not out of affection or longing for his grandmother. Not out of tenderness for blood ties, but…!

“Haaa….”

Yeonjo gripped the sink, barely maintaining his balance as he tried to calm down. He shuddered at the thought he had impulsively entertained.

No matter how angry he was, he shouldn’t say that. Because it was the day his grandmother had longed for so much. How could he when she was so happy….

Yeonjo turned on the water to escape the extreme thoughts that kept flashing through his mind like a storm. Splashing cold water on his face repeatedly seemed to clear his mind, which had been submerged in anger, a little.

Yeonjo turned off the tap and remained with his head bowed for a few more minutes. The water droplets that had run down his face and cheeks, over the bridge of his nose, were sucked into the drain of the sink. If only he could flow into it and disappear like this.

His wet face quickly dried. Yeonjo straightened his bent back.

Let’s go back in for now. He couldn’t just leave without saying anything. It was a happy day for his grandmother, after all.

After barely composing himself, Yeonjo left the restroom. His steps as he walked down the hospital hallway were heavier than ever.

“You grew up well, you’ve grown so much.”

As he approached the ward, his grandmother’s cheerful voice drifted out through the slightly open door. Yeonjo stopped and cautiously peeked inside.

Lee Hanwook, who had finished his call, and his grandmother were sitting face to face, talking. Yeonjo’s gaze went to Lee Hanwook’s and his grandmother’s tightly clasped hands. The other patients in the ward were commenting on how they looked exactly alike, saying their blood ties were evident.

Even though he was flustered by his grandmother continuously stroking the back of his hand and sniffling, Lee Hanwook smiled and didn’t push her away. Although he spoke curtly to Yeonjo, he seemed to have a lot to say, as he kept talking to his grandmother about old times.

Unable to interrupt their conversation, Yeonjo stood still in front of the ward and waited. He felt like an intruder.

“…….”

He rubbed his forehead, turned his head for no reason, lowered it again at the gazes of the hospital staff, and tapped the floor with the toe of his shoe as he waited for several minutes.

Unable to wait indefinitely, Yeonjo pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against. And after a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth.

“Grandma, I need to go because of work….”

“Wow, that’s right! I always cried for Lego in that alleyway!”

“I always regretted not being able to buy that for you.”

Yeonjo’s hesitant voice was drowned out by louder voices.

“I think… I need to go….”

He barely managed to add the last words, muttering, but neither of them looked back.

Yeonjo awkwardly touched the back of his neck and quietly left the hospital. Since he had come to the hospital alone after receiving the call at the dry cleaner’s in front of his shop, he was alone today, without the subordinate who usually watched him.

There were people everywhere, no matter where he went. As he walked aimlessly amongst the crowd, he suddenly felt that the red scarf he was wearing was shabby.

Yeonjo frowned, staring at his reflection in the glass of a shop window in the busy street. He looked like an orphan, utterly alone in the world. And for a moment, he thought that he had been presumptuous, desiring something absurd without knowing his place. An orphan yearning for a family.

The bright smile of his grandmother he had seen today, the relaxed back of Lee Hanwook, remained vividly in his mind, refusing to be erased.

Yeonjo took off the scarf. He wanted to throw it on the ground and vent his anger, but he couldn’t just throw away something he had cherished for so long.

“Haa, haa… ugh.”

Perhaps because his emotions were too intense, his breathing suddenly became erratic. He felt a sharp stinging pain inside his lungs as if he had been pricked by a needle. Yeonjo clutched his chest and coughed repeatedly.

As the pain intensified, he quickly took out the medicine he had gotten from the hospital recently and swallowed it. Then, leaning against a nearby wall, he caught his breath. After waiting for a while, his churning stomach gradually calmed down.

Yeonjo stared at the scarf in his hand with a tearful face. He raised his hand as if to throw it to the ground, but in the end, he wrapped it carefully around his neck again.

Even though his head was throbbing and his entire respiratory tract was aching, he began walking aimlessly. Even though he knew he had to go back to his shop, his body moved on its own accord.

However, there was no destination to his steps. All Yeonjo could do was wander, not arrive. Whether seventeen back then or thirty-one now, his situation was the same. Even if he ran away, there was nowhere for him to rest his body. Even if he disappeared like this and never returned, there was no family to look for him.

No matter how much he struggled, an orphan was just an orphan.

Even though I tried to think of something else, the face of my grandmother smiling while looking at her real grandson kept coming to mind. The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached.

I just wanted to live happily with my grandmother when she got healthy. Not alone….

Where should I go alone now? No, what should I do? I don’t have a proper education, nor do I have any decent abilities. I might even lose the only grandmother I depended on to a suddenly appearing real grandson.

Even though no one told me to leave, I felt like I had lost everything I had and was kicked out. I was helplessly caught up in all kinds of negative and extreme emotions.

Yeonjo pressed his dry eyes. Strange. Was it as if all his emotions had dried up? Even in such despair, not a single tear came out.

Yeonjo removed his hand from his face and walked on aimlessly. The phone in his pocket rang, but he didn’t even think about answering it.

As he moved, swept along by the crowd, he arrived at a quiet park. He only realized his legs ached when he saw a bench next to the grass. The sun had already set, and the surroundings were dark. Yeonjo sat on the bench, pulled his knees to his chest, curled up, and buried his head. Just like the day he first met his grandmother.

I’ve endured all this time for my grandmother, but that bastard, Gu Muncheon, ruined everything. It’s because of him. If I hadn’t met him again, this wouldn’t have happened. Everything went wrong after meeting him. He ruined everything. Everything.

A long time had passed since he left the hospital, but the feeling of being trapped in a swamp didn’t get any better. Only the disorganized resentment towards Boss Gu, who had made him so pathetic, increased. I wish I could just….

“This fucking bastard. He’s really at it again.”

At that moment, Yeonjo’s bowed head was jerked backward by someone. Yeonjo screamed at the rough grip that felt like it would pull out his hair.

“Fuck. I knew you’d cause trouble again.”

A familiar subordinate slammed Yeonjo to the ground.

“Aaack!”

“I told you to stay put, but you couldn’t even wait and ran away?”

When Yeonjo tried to get up to escape, he quickly approached and kicked Yeonjo. Then he grabbed Yeonjo by the collar and lifted him up. Yeonjo desperately resisted.

“Let go of me! Get away!”

“Can’t do that, can I? It’s the director’s order.”

The subordinate, whispering menacingly with his face close to Yeonjo’s, dragged him out to the street. People in the park stared at the two. However, no one stepped forward to stop them. Even if they had the intention, it would have been impossible to help. The subordinate quickly shoved Yeonjo into a black car.

Even inside the car, Yeonjo couldn’t calm down. He tried to open the car door several times, saying he didn’t want to go, but he was stopped by another subordinate in the back seat. He struggled, prepared to be beaten, but instead of hitting him, the subordinate tied Yeonjo’s hands behind his back.

“No, you sons of bitches! I won’t go. Who do you think you are! I don’t want to go, why are you being such a jerk….”

“Oh dear, how scary.”

“Doesn’t this bastard look just like an angry cat?”

The subordinates chuckled at Yeonjo, as if his words were meaningless. Yeonjo knew very well where they were headed.

As the car stopped in front of the familiar officetel, just as he had feared, all the strength in his body drained away like grains of sand.

“We’ve brought him, Director.”

He was forced into the officetel by the subordinate. Boss Gu, in the living room, was the first thing he saw. He was calmly re-bandaging his injured hand.

“You’re here?”

“…….”

Veins bulged in Yeonjo’s neck. So many curses welled up at once that he became speechless.

“You look like you want to kill me. I thought you’d be happy after seeing your grandma.”

“Gu Muncheon, are you crazy? Why are you doing this to me!”

“This little shit’s gone nuts. The way he’s talking to the director…!”

“Just untie his hands and get out.”

Boss Gu ordered the subordinate who was enraged by Yeonjo’s disrespectful behavior. He looked at Yeonjo disapprovingly, then untied his bound hands and left.

Left alone in the officetel, a greater rage swept over Yeonjo.

“You fucking bastard. You’re not even human.”

Boss Gu, who was calmly wrapping the bandage, paused.

“I did what you asked, so I don’t know why you’re suddenly throwing a fit.”

“You don’t know? Is that something you should be saying?”

“Are you trying to leave now?”

Suddenly, the urge to strangle him surged. Yeonjo grimaced and rebuked Boss Gu.

“You son of a bitch. You’re not even human.”

Yeonjo rushed at him and grabbed him by the collar. Boss Gu simply looked down at Yeonjo with an unreadable expression.

His lips trembled. His voice wouldn’t come out easily. It was because an overwhelming confusion and passion, too much to bear, constricted his stomach like a whirlpool. Yeonjo clung to Boss Gu’s collar, panting like someone who had just finished a race.

After a while, Yeonjo finally managed to speak.

“Why me?”

I’ve wanted to ask you that since before.

Then, and now. Why me? Without a moment’s pause, why do you make me so despairing?

“Did you think that old woman was your real family?”

“…….”

“Don’t get any wrong ideas, Cha Yeonjo.”

Boss Gu said in an extremely dry tone. Unable to contain his anger, Yeonjo punched him in the face. Crack! The sound of bones colliding rang out clearly.

Boss Gu straightened his head and touched his bleeding lip.

“You pack more of a punch than you look.”

“Ugh.”

At Boss Gu’s indifferent attitude, which showed no remorse, Yeonjo finally sobbed and burst into tears.

You knew everything. You knew that my grandmother was all I had.

Tears that hadn’t come out even in that heart-wrenching moment at the hospital now streamed down his cheeks. The fact that it was Boss Gu who was ultimately destroying him was unbelievable, even to himself.

“I should have run away when I found out who you were….”

Yeonjo muttered as he stared blankly at Boss Gu’s blurry silhouette in his tear-filled vision.

“Run away?”

“…….”

“Who said you could.”

Boss Gu’s eyes, which had been indifferent until now, widened. His large body instantly pushed Yeonjo against the wall. He grabbed Yeonjo by the scruff of his neck and hurriedly pressed his lips against his.

“Mmmph… N-No!”

He pushed Boss Gu away and turned his head as Boss Gu tried to open his lips and insert his tongue, but Boss Gu forcefully grabbed his chin and held it in place. Boss Gu bit and crushed Yeonjo’s lips and tongue as he pleased. Yeonjo, in turn, bit at any part of Boss Gu’s skin that touched his teeth in an attempt to resist.

“Hngh, ugh! Uhmm….”

“Haa…, ha.”

The lips of the two men became stained red with blood, it was unclear whose it was. It was a violent kiss, almost bestial.

No matter how much Yeonjo struggled to refuse, Boss Gu persistently occupied his breath, tongue, and entire mouth. His jaw, firmly gripped by Boss Gu, hurt, and his gums ached whenever he tried to avoid the tongue and lips. He was so dizzy from the suffocating pressure, as if Boss Gu wouldn’t allow even the slightest gap, that he felt faint.

“Ugh… Get away, get off! …Haaa.”

Yeonjo pushed him away with all his might and punched him. But Boss Gu, without showing any sign of pain, placed both hands on the wall and trapped Yeonjo again. Then, he brought his face close and sternly warned him.

“You can’t take a single step out of here without my permission.”

“You crazy bastard. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to confine me, you son of a bitch!”

Boss Gu licked his lip where Yeonjo had bitten him, drawing a thin line of blood. Having tasted the metallic tang of blood, he hardened his expression like a predator ready to tear into its prey at the slightest provocation.

“If you run away. Where will you go?”

“Ha….”

“Are you going to go whine to that dying old woman?”

“Just shut up! Don’t talk about her like that.”

Yeonjo pushed Boss Gu’s shoulder away again. Once more, the statue-like body didn’t budge. He was hopelessly solid.

“Now that she’s found her real grandson, do you think she’ll be happy if you go?”

“Stop it! I told you to shut up!”

It was a scream close to a shriek.

“You’re nothing to that old woman anymore.”

“…….”

Yeonjo opened his lips to immediately retort, but he couldn’t find anything to say.

I’m nothing anymore.

Those were the words he desperately tried to ignore. Boss Gu knew exactly what Yeonjo feared most. And he pointed out that that fear wasn’t an illusion, but reality.

The powerlessness that ignited deep within his heart spread throughout his chest and burned like a raging fire. Yeonjo lowered his head after a long silence. At the same time, tears that had welled up in his eyes flowed down his chin.

Boss Gu, as if satisfied with the sight, licked the lukewarm liquid that had pooled in Yeonjo’s chin with his tongue. Even at the wet and slippery touch of his tongue, Yeonjo opened and closed his eyes slowly, as if he felt nothing.

“Give it up.”

“That’s not it. It’s not giving up… Sob.”

At some point, the tension that had gripped his body loosened. The murderous rage he felt towards the man in front of him vanished in an instant.

Yeonjo covered his face to hide his tears. No matter how much he tried to hold back, he couldn’t stop the sobs that burst forth against his will.

Despite his desperate denial, he was afraid that, as Boss Gu had said, he really had become nothing to his grandmother. He was more afraid of that than anything else. He had lived his life constantly trying to prove otherwise, but was it all for nothing? It could all be nothing more than pathetic and worn-out attachment. He had never told anyone, but whenever his grandmother was on the brink of death, she always called out the name of her real grandson.

Yeonjo remembered the image of the real grandson, who had spoken as if he had no affection left for his grandmother, holding her hand and smiling affectionately. It seemed as though he could steal everything Yeonjo had worked for over a decade with just a few sweet words if he wanted to.

Then what do I become? All the work I put in, all the time I endured….

“Why…? Why did you look for him? He has his parents anyway. He already has them….”

Yeonjo’s gaze, fixed on empty space, wavered. If his grandmother recovered from her illness, she might easily forget about a weak and gloomy fake grandson like him and leave with her real grandson.

“My grandmother is all I have, why!”

Yeonjo shouted with a pained expression. His body, which he had barely managed to support, quickly collapsed to the floor.

“Because she was never yours to begin with.”

“…….”

“You never had something like family in the first place.”

Boss Gu looked down at the slumped Yeonjo and spoke as if telling him to know his place. The man’s eyes burned with a long-standing obsession and deep hatred for Yeonjo.

Yeonjo gasped as if he had been stomped in the chest.

“I shouldn’t have taken you from the orphanage in the first place.”

“…….”

“That day… I should have left you in that dark room. I shouldn’t have brought you with me….”

“I bet you wish you had.”

Boss Gu interrupted Yeonjo’s dazed mumbling and grabbed him by the hair.

“Do you regret that day?”

“Ungh.”

“Poor thing. You’ll regret it even more after today.”

He dragged Yeonjo like a sack of potatoes to the bedroom.

“Aack! Let go of me!”

Yeonjo struggled. Even though he screamed and clawed at his hand, Boss Gu easily threw Yeonjo onto the bed.

A creepy creaking sound emanated from the bed springs due to the force of his body being thrown down. Goosebumps rose on Yeonjo’s back.

Boss Gu climbed onto the bed, looking at Yeonjo’s tear-stained white face without a shred of pity. Yeonjo kicked his feet like a madman, trying to escape him by crawling backward.

“Don’t come near me! I won’t do it with you! I don’t want to, never again with you…!”

His kicks, aimed at the empty air, landed squarely on Boss Gu’s side as he lunged forward. The impact was considerable enough to make his solid torso shake.

“Ugh.”

Boss Gu, who hadn’t even blinked until now, groaned, bending over. Startled by the unexpected reaction, Yeonjo stared at him with wide eyes. A beat too late, he realized that he had kicked Boss Gu in the same place he had been injured not long ago, and he awkwardly sat up.

“A-are you okay…. Huh!”

However, the groan was short-lived. Boss Gu grabbed and pulled down Yeonjo’s calf as if capturing him. His paper-thin body was dragged downwards.

“Such a coward.”

Scoffing as if he had never been hurt in the first place, he ripped Yeonjo’s pants off.

“Aaack! Get away, let go of me! Ugh, ah, I told you I don’t want to, not with you! Ah! Ugh, you bastard….”

He tried to kick him away again, but Boss Gu wouldn’t be fooled twice. He flipped Yeonjo over, made him lie face down, and pressed down on the area around his shoulder blades with his pants halfway down.

Yeonjo was forced into a position pinned beneath him. He struggled again when Boss Gu grabbed his exposed buttocks, but the difference in strength was overwhelming. Yeonjo couldn’t move, like an insect pinned to a display board.

When the click-clack sound of a belt being unbuckled came from behind, Yeonjo clenched his fists.

“No! I don’t want to! I’m not doing it… who do you think you are, you son of a bitch….”

Boss Gu easily positioned his cock between Yeonjo’s buttocks and pressed down on the entrance. He could vividly feel the tip of the half-erect cock forcibly spreading his hole.

“Relax. You’re going to be fucked by this bastard’s cock.”

“Let go… Ugh!”

Before he could finish speaking, Boss Gu shoved Yeonjo’s face into the bedsheet. No matter how much he shook his head or twisted his legs, the force pinning him down was too strong for him to move.

Unable to breathe properly, Yeonjo made muffled sounds with his face buried in the sheets, but Boss Gu ignored him and thrust his hips.

“Ugh, gasp! I, I can’t breathe.”

Only after he had inserted his cock halfway did Boss Gu release his face. Yeonjo gasped for air, sobbing with his lower body impaled.

“Haa, haa. Ah, it hurts….”

As if annoyed by Yeonjo’s fidgeting, Boss Gu pressed down on his back again and focused on the insertion. The wrinkled entrance was scraped, and the deeper the cock went, the more it felt like all his organs were being pushed upwards.

“I don’t want to…, hngh, I don’t want to do this.”

When Yeonjo continued to resist, Boss Gu frowned and exhaled a long breath. Due to the tension, the inner walls were too tight, and it didn’t seem like he could push in any further even if he forced it.

Having no other choice, he pulled out the half-inserted cock. A faint, bloody red color could be seen where the pink wrinkles had torn.

“Tsk.”

Boss Gu repositioned himself, pressing his lower body more firmly against Yeonjo’s thighs. In the meantime, Yeonjo wriggled frantically, trying to escape somehow.

He was annoyed by the actions that kept making things difficult. He could clearly feel Yeonjo’s desperation, as if he would run away the moment he was let go.

“Fuck, what a pain in the ass.”

When Yeonjo showed no signs of calming down, he lost his temper, pulled out the belt from his pants, folded it in half, and struck Yeonjo’s white buttocks.

Whack!

“Ow…!”

Yeonjo froze. His entire buttocks felt hot as if he had been cut by sharp shards of glass. The pain was excruciating.

Like a trained animal, Yeonjo couldn’t move, afraid that more blows would come.

“Don’t make me leave marks on your body.”

Boss Gu muttered, warning him as he panted. He liked Yeonjo’s smooth, unblemished skin. He didn’t like it when he had to leave marks that lingered for days because Yeonjo wouldn’t listen.

“Hngh… uh… uhngh.”

Yeonjo stopped moving and trembled slightly. Small whimpering sounds escaped him as he strained his throat to swallow his sobs.

Boss Gu looked down at the back of Yeonjo’s head, his hair completely disheveled. Yeonjo was weak to pain. In fact, most of the people he knew were. And when fear was added to the mix, it was easy and quick to tame them.

He liked how Yeonjo had become docile. As if he had given up on escaping, the muscles in his thin, pinned-down thighs had relaxed softly.

Boss Gu, who had been contemplating hitting him a few more times, finally put down the belt. Although he was slightly disappointed by the red mark left on his buttocks, this was relatively mild.

He once again spread Yeonjo’s buttocks and pushed his fully erect cock between them.

“Don’t tense up.”

Even though Yeonjo had lost the will to escape, he pushed down on his shoulder blades and thrust his hips. It was certainly easier to insert than before. Without stopping, Boss Gu shoved his cock all the way to the root in one go.

“Ack!”

Yeonjo screamed at the pain of his entire inner wall being scraped. He felt like his body was being split in two. Since Boss Gu was on top of him, he couldn’t see his actions or expressions, which intensified the pain stemming from his anxiety.

He told him not to tense up, but all the muscles in his body had already stiffened, making it difficult. The tears he had been holding back began to fall down his cheeks again. His stomach ached as if someone was stirring his insides with a hot iron.

“Hngh, ugh, ugh.”

Yeonjo scratched the sheet with his fingernails, enduring the sensation spreading from below. His chin, where tears welled up and fell repeatedly, was not just damp, but soaked.

No matter how much he struggled, it was impossible to escape Boss Gu’s grasp. He realized that meekly submitting was the quickest way out of this situation, rather than resisting and getting hit again. Clenching his teeth, he hoped that the man, who was freely wielding violence and lust, would quickly stop this horrible act.

Just then, a rough hand snatched the red scarf that had been draped around Yeonjo’s neck.

“Ah, no!”

Alarmed, Yeonjo wriggled, trying to keep it from being taken.

“You’ve been cherishing it since you came in.”

A mocking voice came from behind. He easily snatched the scarf from Yeonjo, who was clutching it to prevent it from being taken, and threw it on the floor. Then, he pulled his hips back and thrust down hard.

Thud!

“Haah!”

Boss Gu, with his long, imposing body completely covering Yeonjo’s upper body, bit his earlobe. Then he whispered softly,

“If it was that important, you shouldn’t have let me see it.”

He continued his violent thrusting, holding Yeonjo’s buttocks apart with one hand to make it easier for his cock to move in and out. Every time the cock pierced his inner wall, a pain like being punched in the stomach followed. The room was filled with the out-of-sync sounds of pelvises and buttocks slapping together, mixed with Yeonjo’s cries.

“If you hate me that much, ugh… why don’t you just, hngh, gasp… k-kill me.”

“Huu.”

“Instead of torturing me like this…. Sob….”

At the tearful words, Boss Gu, who had been focused on satisfying his lust, grabbed Yeonjo’s hair and yanked it back. He deliberately pulled his cock almost all the way out and then plunged it back in up to the root in one thrust.

“Ah! Ah, it hurts… just a little, slowly…”

“Are you serious? What will happen to your grandma if you die? Haa, don’t tell me you’re going to leave her to me?”

“No, th-that’s… hngh, not it….”

Yeonjo shook his head desperately at the mocking threat. His mind cleared at the mention of his grandmother.

It was highly likely that he was just saying it to scare him, but Yeonjo was afraid that he might actually harm his grandmother. Just as he had easily found Lee Hanwook, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to harm his grandmother.

“Don’t….”

“Then you should live. Why are you thinking about dying? Do you think you can run away?”

He frowned, feeling the inner wall clumsily squeezing his shaft. He released Yeonjo’s hair, which he had been holding limply, and straightened his back. He then saw Yeonjo’s buttocks, barely swallowing his cock. The white skin was reddish and swollen, marked wherever the flesh collided. The mark from the belt he had struck in anger was still vivid.

“If you die, huu… I guess I can collect the money I lent you from your grandma.”

“Don’t do that to my grandmother… th-that’s… uh, just something I said… Haah! Ah, I won’t, die.”

Yeonjo pleaded tearfully. His voice, barely suppressing his sobs, trembled with fear.

Even after hearing his desperate plea, Boss Gu stared indifferently at the trembling buttocks as he pulled his cock out of the hole and then thrust it back in. It should have adjusted by now, but it was still tight like an unstretched rubber band. The inside, too, hadn’t loosened up like the first time, just relentlessly constricting without any yielding.

“Just relax your hole and take it quietly.”

“I, I will. Sob… Ugh… Ah!”

Yeonjo nodded obediently. However, as if he had no strength left in his body, his round head quickly drooped. As Boss Gu had said, he was trying to relax somehow, and the hole that had been tightly clenching his cock loosened, albeit slightly. Unfortunately, not enough to satisfy him.

“Fuck, you’re really fucking terrible at this.”

Boss Gu cursed, saying that it was more troublesome than with women because it wasn’t getting wet, and slapped Yeonjo’s twitching buttocks.

“Ugh! Ah, it hurts… can you, sob, just put on a little lube, please…”

“I don’t have any, so you’ll have to wet it yourself.”

He said condescendingly, furrowing his dark eyebrows. Without warning, he pulled his cock out in one swift motion, and Yeonjo screamed at the feeling of his inner wall being scraped. His stomach churned as if he were seasick.

Without giving him time to recover, Boss Gu climbed on top of Yeonjo’s chest and brought what he had just pulled out of the hole to his face. Yeonjo stared at the bobbing cock with his unsteady gaze as he lay on the bed.

“What are you doing? Suck it.”

It meant to wet it with saliva by sucking. Boss Gu placed his knees on either side of Yeonjo’s shoulders and thrust his heavy cock forward again.

The tip of the cock, with its veins throbbing menacingly, was faintly coated with pre-cum. Yeonjo, forgetting to wipe his tear-soaked face, shoved the glans into his mouth. Even then, his tears didn’t stop easily. His vision blurred as sadness continued to well up.

Nausea rose at the fishy smell spreading in his mouth. Placing his hands on Boss Gu’s thick thighs, he forced his lips open wider and took the cock deeper into his mouth. The shirt he was still wearing slipped down, revealing one of Yeonjo’s shoulders as he strained to move his head up and down. Boss Gu devoured Yeonjo’s pale, round shoulder, trembling with sobs, with a lascivious gaze.

He was adept at preying on the weak. After driving them to extreme fear and pain, he would take a step back and soften his demeanor just a little, and the weak would perceive it as an opportunity to grasp and desperately cling to it. Yeonjo was no different. The mere fact that Boss Gu stopped the violence and simply looked down at him was enough for Yeonjo to do his best to fulfill the unreasonable demand, just to avoid further punishment.

His chapped, red lips enveloped the cock, then, as if he thought it was impossible to swallow it whole, he pulled it out and diligently licked it from the base to the glans. His hot, wet tongue busily coated the shaft with saliva from the root upwards. Boss Gu let out a satisfied moan from above.

“Huu.”

Just then, the cock, which had been resting on his tongue, slipped onto Yeonjo’s face. Yeonjo hurriedly grabbed the shaft with his hand and licked it again with his tongue. Then, after carefully coating the sides with saliva, he glanced at Boss Gu before swallowing the glans. His cock was so large that it filled his small mouth. It wasn’t just that. He felt burdened by Boss Gu’s sadism, hatred, his gaze, everything. His past with him as well.

Above all, Cha Yeonjo himself, who had to endure and submit to him, felt the most burdened.

Yeonjo opened his throat and swallowed Boss Gu’s cock as deeply as possible. Even when the urge to cough rose from choking, he forced it down, tightening his throat and lips around the cock.

He wished he could clear his mind, but the misery constantly gnawed at his nerves.

“Hng….”

Boss Gu languidly looked down at Yeonjo, who was diligently sucking his cock and crying prettily. He was immensely satisfied with the current situation, having subdued Yeonjo, who had been shouting that he would run away.

“Huuu… Fuck.”

He grabbed the back of Yeonjo’s head and thrust his cock into his mouth as if he were penetrating a hole. Yeonjo’s Adam’s apple bobbed大きく.

Boss Gu’s coarse pubic hair brushed against the tip of his nose. Yeonjo furrowed his smooth brow. The strong, musky scent wafted into his lungs with a metallic tang.

“Cough, gasp, ugh…! Hng.”

Even though he knew Yeonjo was suffocating, Boss Gu moved his hips. As he thrust somewhat roughly, a lewd sound of friction, as if it were coming from the point of connection, escaped from Yeonjo’s mouth. The glistening cock moved busily in and out between his small lips. Boss Gu ravaged his soft mouth, changing angles as if he were fucking his lower hole.

Even while crying, Yeonjo diligently took Boss Gu’s cock deep into his mouth. Opening his throat and contracting it around the glans to encourage ejaculation were both familiar tasks for Yeonjo. He constantly moved his lips, gently rubbing the base of the shaft with his tongue to heighten the sensation. Even as he choked and gasped for breath, he diligently caressed his testicles and groin with his hands.

“Fuck, I wonder how many other dicks you’ve sucked outside. Haa.”

Boss Gu sneered at Yeonjo, who skillfully took his cock, a size that most of the girls at the establishment couldn’t handle, every single time. The tight space in his mouth made the ridges on his gums and the movement of his Adam’s apple vividly apparent.

As Yeonjo took the entire length, all the way to the root, with his mouth that looked too small to even swallow half of it, Boss Gu felt a simultaneous surge of inexplicable rage and thrill. His clearly defined rectus abdominis muscles tightened with the rising feeling of ejaculation.

Sensing his reaction, Yeonjo more enthusiastically opened his throat and caressed his shaft and cock as if massaging them. As if it had never been used for any other purpose, the inside was endlessly wet and hot. Even as tears still clung to the corners of his eyes and he sobbed, Yeonjo diligently satisfied the man.

“Why are you crying?”

Looking at his long eyelashes, wet and fluttering pitifully, Boss Gu touched them with his rough index finger as if catching a butterfly. The damp moisture touched his fingertip.

“Hng… uh.”

He pushed away Yeonjo’s face, stopping his tears, and pulled out his cock just before ejaculation. Then, as if urging him to answer, he tilted his head slightly.

“Why do you keep crying?”

Yeonjo wiped his wet face with his shirt sleeve and lowered his gaze.

“…I don’t want to do this with you.”

Boss Gu grabbed Yeonjo’s chin. As if to deliberately humiliate him, he nudged Yeonjo’s cheek and chin with his throbbing cock and said,

“Then who do you want to do this with? All you’re good at is spreading your legs and getting fucked, you.”

“Ugh, n-no.”

Yeonjo turned his head away, avoiding the cock soaked with his own saliva. Boss Gu stared at his swollen lips, puffed up from sucking his cock, with a look of derision. They looked like a bottom, chapped and swollen from taking countless cocks. He thought that it was right to use that alluring flesh for taking his cock.

“No? Then where do you think the money for your grandma’s hospital bills came from? Huu, from your head?”

Like an animal marking its territory, he grabbed his veiny shaft and rubbed it all over Yeonjo’s nose, cheeks, and eyelids, which were crumpled in distress. Yeonjo’s face was as soft and delicate as a child’s, without a single rough patch. Even the lukewarm tears that touched his glans served to fuel Boss Gu’s pleasure.

“Don’t get any wrong ideas. I gave you all that money as payment for your hole.”

“H…hngh.”

Yeonjo burst into tears again, as if he had finally stopped. Every word he said was bitter and painful. Yeonjo covered his face with his arms and sobbed sadly.

Disliking his face being covered, Boss Gu forcibly pulled his arms away. As if he had no strength left to resist, Yeonjo moved easily at his command, like a wooden doll.

“Get on your knees and spread your legs.”

Boss Gu instructed, getting off Yeonjo’s body, which he had been on top of. After taking a few ragged breaths, Yeonjo clumsily got on his knees and raised his buttocks, assuming the position he wanted.

Seeing that the hole hadn’t fully closed yet, Boss Gu felt a shiver of excitement at the tingling desire rising from his lower abdomen. He quickly removed Yeonjo’s pants, which were precariously hanging from his calves. Although Yeonjo’s underwear, stretched from being forcibly removed, was still caught around his ankles, he ignored it and went behind Yeonjo’s buttocks, aligning his pelvis.

“Spread your legs wider.”

Boss Gu pushed Yeonjo’s thighs outward with his knees, but unlike a woman, Yeonjo’s pelvis was small and didn’t spread as wide as he wanted.

He hurriedly aligned his groin with Yeonjo’s buttocks and thrust his cock in all at once.

“Haah!”

Thanks to Yeonjo having sufficiently lubricated it, the cock slid into the hole much more smoothly than before. The wet shaft mercilessly pistoned in and out, scraping Yeonjo’s inner walls. The rough veins on his shaft caused intense friction against his sensitive flesh.

Smack! Boss Gu slapped the buttocks that had swallowed his cock up to the root.

“Ugh!”

“Legs.”

A large handprint immediately appeared on his thin skin, as if covering his entire buttock.

“It hurts, too much, …uh.”

He ignored Yeonjo’s pained moans and concentrated on satisfying his pleasure. As if to punish him for constantly breaking the position, he thrust his cock deep, pressing against his tailbone, and then pulled it out almost to the tip of the glans. Whenever he did that, Yeonjo’s slender waist trembled, his muscles tensing.

“Just a little, haah, slower… if you do it, …ah!”

The speed of the harsh slaps against his flesh was always erratic. The inability to predict when the next thrust would come intensified the pain. Yeonjo would collapse, unable to focus, and then, startled by his completely prone position, would raise himself up on his knees again.

The flesh of his buttocks, as soft as the inside of a peach, rippled every time it collided with Boss Gu’s hard pelvis. Boss Gu looked down at Yeonjo’s back, who was burdened by everything about him, and felt a boundless surge of sadism and desire.

He felt a perverse satisfaction in taking advantage of the weak body, to the point where he wondered if he had always been this despicable. He also enjoyed seeing Yeonjo’s ankles, which he couldn’t fully tense despite his frantic efforts to hide his discomfort. Because the weaker Yeonjo became, the less he would be able to escape him. The deeper the despair that enveloped him, the more thoroughly his will to escape would be stripped away.

The sight of Yeonjo, pathetically curling his toes and fingers to endure the pain, made every nerve in Boss Gu’s body tingle. A chilling thrill ran down his back and spread throughout his body.

Boss Gu then firmly grabbed Yeonjo’s hips, preventing him from moving. And thrusting his cock into his reddened buttocks, he came.

“Heok, heok.”

“Ah… aah.”

Hot liquid spurted deep inside Yeonjo’s flat stomach. Yeonjo shuddered at the wet sensation of his inner walls being coated.

The faint trembling of his straight spine wavered before Boss Gu’s eyes. Overwhelmed by an indescribable pleasure, he clenched his teeth and let out a groan that sounded almost animalistic. Boss Gu immediately pulled his cock out of Yeonjo’s softened inner walls.

“Haah.”

As their bodies fully separated, Yeonjo, who had been barely supporting himself, rolled onto his side. Sticky semen, which Boss Gu had spilled inside him, was oozing out of his still-open hole. Feeling it flowing down his perineum, Yeonjo blushed and tried to close the entrance by tightening his muscles.

Boss Gu carelessly wiped his semen-soaked cock with the sheet and, as if his clothes were bothersome, completely undressed. Then he got off the bed and went to the living room. He picked up the water bottle on the table in front of the sofa and quenched his thirst.

Yeonjo, clutching his stomach and catching his breath, turned his head. His crumpled clothes and his cherished scarf were scattered haphazardly on the bedroom floor. He didn’t even have the strength to get down and pick them up right now.

“…….”

Yeonjo cautiously looked at the bedroom door where Boss Gu had exited. Was this the end? He wished it were. The door was wide open, and he could see Boss Gu standing in front of the sofa in the living room. His imposing Adam’s apple moved up and down every time he swallowed water.

Naked, he looked like a black stallion he had seen at the stables. A huge body covered in muscles and bronzed skin. A well-maintained, pedigreed black stallion, with its exquisitely defined muscles rippling with every movement, was a stark contrast to other horses, stimulating a sense of aesthetic appreciation. Boss Gu, drinking water, was the same.

As if sensing the obvious stare, Boss Gu suddenly turned his head. Startled by the eye contact, Yeonjo flinched. He put down the water bottle and beckoned Yeonjo with his hand.

At the gesture to come over, Yeonjo, with no other choice, lifted his limp body. The half-removed shirt was still precariously draped over him, but he didn’t have the energy to think about taking it off. Barely managing to get off the bed, Yeonjo felt a pain in his lower abdomen and crawled towards Boss Gu on all fours.

“Make it hard again.”

Boss Gu said, sitting down on the sofa. Glancing at his half-flaccid cock, Yeonjo moved between his legs. As he spread his legs wider, Yeonjo, kneeling, reached out and grabbed his cock.

The shaft was sticky with semen, having been inside him and then come. Yeonjo cautiously stroked it up and down with his hand. His hesitation was short-lived; afraid that a hand would fly at him if he delayed any longer, he hurriedly put the glans in his mouth.

Ignoring the fishy smell, Yeonjo opened his throat and took the cock deep into his mouth. He could vividly feel the hard shaft hardening inside his mucous membrane.

“Hngh, ugh…, uhg, ch-ugh.”

He choked on the glans pushing into his narrow throat. Enduring the urge to gag, Yeonjo opened his mouth wider and started moving his head up and down.

“Uh…?”

Just then, surprised by the feeling of something touching him down below, Yeonjo looked down. Boss Gu’s foot was pushing between his legs as he knelt on the floor. His instep and toes gently rubbed his perineum.

“W-wait. If you do that….”

“Who said to spit it out? Suck my cock.”

At the reprimand, Yeonjo put the cock, which he had briefly taken out of his mouth, back in. However, he couldn’t concentrate on the blowjob at all. Because of the large foot moving between his legs, he had to spread his closed legs, and if he did, the semen that Boss Gu had spilled inside him would leak out.

Feeling the sticky liquid already leaking from below, Yeonjo tightened his muscles to close the hole. The sound of his instep continuously rubbing around the closed hole distracted him.

“Hngh… ugh!”

Yeonjo diligently moved his small lips, but in the end, the lukewarm semen inside him leaked out, interrupting the blowjob. He tried to tighten his muscles to close the hole belatedly, but Boss Gu’s toes pushed inside as if obstructing him, causing the wrinkles to spread further.

“Ah, no.”

Semen dripped from the slightly open hole onto the living room floor. Yeonjo blushed with shame as if he had been caught urinating.

“Lick it.”

Boss Gu, who had removed his foot from between his legs, then held it out to Yeonjo. His instep was soaked with the fluid that had just leaked from Yeonjo’s inside.

Yeonjo’s brow furrowed. Licking what was on his foot… just the thought of it made his stomach churn with disgust.

“Don’t want to?”

He asked as if amused by the disgusted reaction.

“I’ll give you five million won if you lick it all up.”

“…….”

“You’re welcome to refuse this one.”

Yeonjo hesitated and looked up at Boss Gu. Then he shifted his gaze to the wet instep.

Five million won to lick the man’s semen-covered foot. It wasn’t a small amount. He wanted to refuse and push it away, but the words of refusal wouldn’t come out. In his mind, things he could do with five million won were already surfacing sporadically. At the center of it all was, of course, his grandmother.

As if he had expected this, Boss Gu leisurely wiggled his toes. And he gazed at Yeonjo’s face, submerged in humiliation as he succumbed to the money, as if savoring it.

“Not going to do it?”

Yeonjo hurriedly shook his head, lest he take his foot away. At the same time, disgust welled up inside him. He couldn’t tell whether it was directed at Boss Gu or himself.

Swallowing a curse, Yeonjo slowly stuck out his tongue and licked Boss Gu’s foot. The salty, bitter taste of semen spread across his tongue. He had to tilt his head to lick the entire arch of his foot. Tears, which he thought had stopped, slid down his nose and fell to the floor.

Yeonjo desperately suppressed his sobs. And like he was sucking the man’s cock, he diligently caressed Boss Gu’s big toe. He gently nibbled on the joint with his teeth and then put it in his mouth, licking it gently with his tongue, which caused Boss Gu’s chest to heave.

After confirming that his dirty instep was clean, he nudged Yeonjo with his toes. At the gesture to come up to the sofa, Yeonjo got up and sat on his lap.

“You’re good. Makes me wonder how far you’d go for money.”

“…….”

“Now put it in and move yourself. Until I come.”

Boss Gu grabbed Yeonjo’s chin and kissed him. Yeonjo felt a consuming fear at the hot tongue that entangled with his like a chain.

Since he slapped Yeonjo’s buttocks as if urging him to insert it, he pulled himself together and reached down to grab Boss Gu’s cock. Thick veins were already bulging along the shaft. Yeonjo positioned the hard glans between his buttocks and rubbed it against his hole, searching for the entrance.

“Ung….”

The hole, which had been taking his cock until just now, opened softly and smoothly swallowed the tip.

“Haah.”

Yeonjo trembled and lowered his hips. He kept tensing up because it was difficult to endure Boss Gu’s persistent kiss. He took the glans in easily, but from the middle, it wouldn’t go in easily, as if it were caught on something. It was also difficult to slowly lower his hips and support himself so he wouldn’t fall forward.

Having no other choice, Yeonjo placed both hands on Boss Gu’s shoulders to steady himself. He could vividly feel his tough trapezius muscles through his fingertips.

“Slow.”

Boss Gu muttered, breaking the kiss. Yeonjo swallowed a moan and tried his best to relax his lower body. However, the impatient Boss Gu couldn’t wait and grabbed Yeonjo’s buttocks, thrusting down hard.

“Ahk!”

The heavy cock was shoved against his inner wall without warning. At the same time, his vision went white. Because they were facing each other, it was inserted deeper than usual, intensifying the pain. Yeonjo hunched his shoulders and stuttered.

“What are you doing? Move your hips.”

“J-just a second.”

Boss Gu slapped his buttocks as if he wouldn’t tolerate any hesitation. Yeonjo instinctively tightened his buttocks in pain.

“Ugh, fuck!”

Veins bulged in Boss Gu’s temples at the sudden pressure. Yeonjo quickly relaxed, afraid that he would get angry and hit him, and raised his hips again. Judging that it was better to appease him, even if it hurt, he blindly lowered his buttocks, taking the cock all the way to the root.

A squelching, wet sound echoed from where they were joined. Despite the dull pain spreading through his stomach, Yeonjo bit his lower lip and moved his hips faster and faster. Boss Gu’s breath grew ragged with excitement. He completely removed the shirt Yeonjo was wearing, then buried his teeth in his nape and collarbone, one after the other, savoring his pale, naked body.

“It hurts…. Haah, hng.”

Yeonjo ignored the feeling of exhaustion and continued to move his hips up and down. However, as if dissatisfied with the weak, fluttering movements, Boss Gu grabbed Yeonjo’s hips and began thrusting at his own pace.

“Haah, ung, ah… s-slow down, too… hng, fast!”

The wet sound of flesh slapping against flesh, splat, splat, flowed into his ears. His erect cock felt much harder than before.

Every time Boss Gu thrust, the vivid sensation of being pierced all the way to the back of his inner wall clouded his mind. A dull ache and a hot pleasure bloomed simultaneously in his lower abdomen. The inside, where the cock moved in and out, tingled so intensely that his toes curled.

Even as his body was constantly shaken by the man’s violent movements, Yeonjo tightened his lower body to match his rhythm. Instead of just enduring it, he gently swayed his hips. He relaxed when the cock was pulled out to the glans, and when it thrust back in, he contracted, tightly gripping the shaft. His lower body was already a mess, soaked with the semen Boss Gu had spilled, staining the sofa.

“Hngh, I’m tired… hng, this position…!”

Unlike Yeonjo, who was fidgeting as he found it increasingly difficult to keep moving his hips while facing him, Boss Gu didn’t look tired at all, even though he was supporting Yeonjo’s waist and hips. He gripped his supple waist and buttocks, spitting out curses.

“Hngh, ah! Ung!”

“Kgh… fuck.”

Yeonjo, who had been limply swaying, whimpered and wrapped his arms around Boss Gu’s neck. He seemed endlessly cold and rough, inside and out, like a creature forged from steel. Even the remnants of the burn on his fingertips felt excessively hard, like a pattern made of metal. The man’s neck and shoulders, which he was holding, were so hard that he had the illusion that he, the one embracing him, would break instead.

Yeonjo, feeling dizzy, hugged Boss Gu tighter. At the same time, Boss Gu let out a moan and came. Before Yeonjo’s barely supported body could collapse, a rough hand grabbed his chin and hurriedly kissed him.
