Cold City Romance Chapter 8.8

Cha Dokyung stared blankly at Hyun Jaehwi with a dazed face, who spat vulgar curses savagely without changing a single expression on his picture-like refined face.

“Do you know how many hours you didn’t pick up the phone at all?”

“……”

“I know well what state you’re in right now because I washed you corner by corner at dawn……. Damn it, while I was frantically searching where the hell you went with that body, coincidentally, a call came from that unlucky bastard.”

“……”

“That son of a bitch talked so arrogantly to me as if you were his possession……”

Cha Dokyung swept up his hair and exhaled a deep sigh with a languid face.

Representative Yeom might spout nonsense to Hyun Seryin. That’s why he had been so cautious with his body like this. If it reached Hyun Seryin’s ears, his relationship with Hyun Jaehwi would end without looking back.

This was exactly why an immature kid who mistakes a simple physical relationship for dating was too much to handle.

“Jaehwi-ya, why are you acting so childish like this……”

“Who was the one trembling under a kid and crying like a baby?”

“……”

“Even during my first executive meeting today, presenting the results of my first project in front of my father and brother, including all the group executives, with my qualification as head of headquarters…… Throughout the meeting, nothing came to mind except you being thrust under me and crying.”

He loosened the tie that was suffocatingly tight around his neck in frustration.

“I couldn’t think of anything except quickly going straight home and holding you again.”

“……”

“Seeing you act like what we did was nothing at all, Cha Dokyung, with that indifferent face of yours. Fuck……, I’m so angry I’m going insane.”

Hyun Jaehwi, who had loosely undone his tie, roughly shrugged off his suit jacket as if it were a hindrance and extended his firm body toward Cha Dokyung.

“……Haa, I’m going crazy right now, can I kiss you?”

Cha Dokyung slowly swept his gaze over the man agitated with excitement.

The prim gaze sweeping down over others with a face sorrowfully wet from crying all night teasingly frustrated the heated opponent. However, in the end, Cha Dokyung ruthlessly stopped him.

“Don’t touch my body.”

At those words, Hyun Jaehwi’s large hand, having lost its way, stopped in mid-air. The angry silhouette outlined over the stiff white shirt bulged, unable to overcome the agitated excitement.

“Jaehwi-ya, sorry, but I’m not in the mood for that?”

Hyun Jaehwi exhaled a languid breath into the air hollowly while calming his excitement. ‘Haa.’ His chest heaved and swelled its volume. The inside of the car was filled with his excited breathing sounds.

“Do you know that Representative Yeom and Seryin-i are close, or not?”

“……”

“If Representative Yeom’s nonsense reaches Seryin-i’s ears. I can’t see you. This thing we’re doing will end too.”

To Cha Dokyung, who spoke of the end of their relationship aloofly, Hyun Jaehwi asserted solemnly with a fierce eye light.

“I’ll handle that issue myself.”

That momentum was chillingly resolute.

“And you don’t need to worry about Hyun Seryin. She owes me a lot, so I have no intention of allowing even a shred of say to her.”

He did not even use honorifics toward his older sister, Hyun Seryin.

He had felt it at the party last time too, but Hyun Seryin, who was so bold and fearless that she freely poured vicious remarks even in front of the chairman or Hyun Kangwoo, seemed strangely cowed only toward Hyun Jaehwi. He did not know the reason, but the moment it reached her ears, there would be no reason to continue this relationship.

“What are you going to handle, and how?”

He did not know what gave him such confidence.

“I’ll handle and resolve everything you’re worried and concerned about, so just focus on me.”

Contrary to his troubled mind, Cha Dokyung ended up laughing out loud at those words.

“I don’t really want to hear the word focus outside of acting……”

Cha Dokyung turned his body toward Hyun Jaehwi from the passenger seat. His noble pupils with red-tipped eye corners gazed at him deeply.

“Is it that I should look at you like a camera lens.”

Hyun Jaehwi smiled as if satisfied.

“Yes. That pretty thing you did while looking at the camera during the palace advertisement shoot that day……. How about trying that on me?”

“……”

“You smiled like you were doing it to a lover you love while looking at the camera and did pretty things. Seeing it in front of my eyes, it would melt a person completely……”

“That was, just acting.”

“Even if it’s acting, I don’t mind.”

The eye ends wet sorrowfully from crying all night glared at Hyun Jaehwi and said.

“Pretty things……. Aren’t those things you should do to me?”

Only then did Cha Dokyung slowly extend his hand toward the head of the man who was impatiently wanting to touch and hold him.

Cha Dokyung affectionately stroked the man larger than himself with his pale hand. It was a very plain touch without any sexual intent. It was a gesture like a trainer soothing a large beast. Because he seemed like he would pounce at even the smallest signal, Cha Dokyung was cautious even with this plain skinship.

“You’re much younger than me……. You should throw some aegyo and coquetry from your side for me to dote on you.”

“Is it not enough?”

Hyun Jaehwi finally grabbed his hand.

“I’m doing the maximum pretty things to you.”

Hyun Jaehwi pressed a ‘smack!’ kiss to the held white hand and smiled tenderly with eye crinkles. At that refreshing smile, it felt like a cool wind was blowing in his head.

“Do you know I hardly ever smile in front of others?”

“……”

“If you knew how much others call me a cold-blooded and inhuman guy, you’d be shocked.”

“That’s a lie……”

Cha Dokyung could not believe those words. He could not believe the fact that a man with such a captivating and pretty smiling face was stingy with smiles toward others.

He smiled faintly in self-deprecation.

“Because you said you like my smiling face, I’m putting in several times the effort. Also, how should I coquetry more for it to please you.”

Cha Dokyung pulled his hand out from his grasp and said.

“At some point, you…… absolutely stopped calling me hyung?”

At those words, he chuckled politely.

“Because every time I call you hyung, it feels like going back to the old days as Hyun Kangwoo’s young brother, so I don’t like it.”

“……”

“To be honest, I hate you thinking of me as young. You don’t even feel like a hyung to me.”

Cha Dokyung replied with an awkward face.

“I think it’s cute when you call me hyung.”

Hyun Jaehwi seemed surprised at that remark.

“You want me to call you hyung?”

“……Sometimes?”

The savage body with his head thrown back against the driver’s seat groaned as if stuck between options. He was heated up, his body groaning because he wanted to touch and reach him.

Cha Dokyung also did not find him annoying or dislike him, who had tormented him all night long. Because he had gotten erect just from hearing his voice over the phone. That was something he had not done even during his first manifestation period or puberty.

Cha Dokyung, who checked the car’s tinting once more, approached toward his body. Cha Dokyung placed his hand on the angry muscular thighs and whispered softly.

“Come here.”

“……”

“Do you want to kiss me?”

“……”

“I’ll kiss you now, so make an excuse to Representative Yeom right away that we’re nothing to each other. That we’re just close hyung-dongsaeng like family from when we were young……”

At those words, a cold silence instantly filled the inside of the car. Hyun Jaehwi’s coldly sharpened gaze pierced and glared sharply at Cha Dokyung.

“It’s suspicious……”

That interrogating gaze was fierce.

“Representative Yeom, what the hell is that bastard to you?”

“……”

“Ah, as that fucker said, are you really ex-husband or something? What did that son of a bitch say to me…. That the two of you are a community of fate.”

Fuck, Yeom Taejeong, that crazy bastard……. Chewing bastard, has he gone mad.

“Don’t say disgusting things. It’s not like that.”

“……”

“Don’t believe a single word that bastard spouts with his three-inch tongue! It’s just a scheme to test you.”

“Then, what the hell is that guy that even after hearing such shitty talk, you’re telling me to bow my head and make excuses?”

“What is Representative Yeom to me?”

Cha Dokyung answered flatly with an expressionless face.

“He made the current me, so he’s a person who can erase me with his own hands.”

“……”

“You said he talked as if I were his possession? That human will really think that way. If a scandal breaks out with a great alpha like you, the heir of HK Group, and the day the fact that I’m an omega is revealed……. He might really bury me in this industry.”

Hyun Jaehwi did not listen properly. The impudent pupils staring calmly seemed to ask crookedly as if there had been nothing else he was curious about from the beginning.

“Did you sleep with that bastard?”

He knew the meaning of that gaze. He was asking because he clearly knew Yeom Taejeong was a dominant alpha.

“Hyun Jaehwi…… Haa, you’re really bad.”

His precarious face gave a faint bitter smile.

“As you said, if a lewd slut like me says I didn’t sleep with dominant alpha Yeom Taejeong, will you believe it?”

“If you look straight into my eyes and say you didn’t sleep with him, I’ll believe it.”

The moist transparent pupils gazed truly at his pitch-black pupils.

“I didn’t sleep with him.”

“Then, that’s fine.”

Hyun Jaehwi added no more words to him.

“Then, you’ll tell Representative Yeom it’s not? Because he won’t believe if I make excuses, you have to say it directly.”

“What should I do? I don’t want to……”

He replied arrogantly in an insolent tone. His long eyes glanced at him coolly.

“Haa, you’re really watching that unlucky old bastard’s mood.”

“……What?”
