Chapter 4.3 - Moonlight Washed Away by the Rain (3)
“I, I’m just with someone I know…”At that moment, Kang Sangjun bent down, thrusting his face close.“You’ve gotten even prettier.”“…”“We’re going to see the night sea. Want to come with us? Shall I introduce you to my friends?”His eyes look strange.His unfocused pupils and dark complexion, too. Up close, he looked like someone sick. Cheongwoo only thought about escaping this situation quickly. He tried to dodge Kang Sangjun’s advancing shoulder while stammering.“No, it’s okay. I have to go quickly, someone’s waiting for me, …please move aside.”“What’s this? Why are you being so harsh? We’re old classmates.”Kang Sangjun’s expression turned more serious with a hint of annoyance, and his tone became oddly authoritative.Why is he doing this to me? Cheongwoo’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.“I came with someone I know. I can’t go with you.”“Who’s this person you know? Your boyfriend? Choi Gyu-jin? He’s probably just a useless idiot anyway. Bring him here.”Trying to avoid him to not engage further, at that moment, Kang Sangjun grabbed his wrist tightly.Before Cheongwoo could even say “Ah,” the snacks he was holding dearly in his arms spilled out. With the sudden commotion, people’s attention turned to them, and Kang Sangjun laughed mockingly at the scattered food bags on the floor.“You haven’t changed at all. Eating this kind of stuff. Are you a kid?”Cheongwoo struggled to free his captured wrist.“Let go… let go!”“Hey, Yeon Cheongwoo.”Laughing as if Cheongwoo was still ridiculous, Kang Sangjun pulled the captured wrist hard.“Let’s do it properly this time?”Cheongwoo’s eyes wavered faintly.“Game.”As Kang Sangjun murmured this, a long shadow fell over his face. At the same time, Cheongwoo felt the familiar, yet chilling presence spreading from behind him.Kang Sangjun, who had been facing Cheongwoo, slowly lifted his gaze upward.“What game?”Gu Wonjae, who had somehow positioned himself behind Cheongwoo, asked in a low voice, bringing the cigarette to his lips.🧸Just five minutes ago, Gu Wonjae was contemplating the utility of rainwater.His gaze, through the aimlessly dispersing cigarette smoke, was fixed on something far away. At the end of that gaze was Cheongwoo, just emerging from the restroom.Thud.With both hands in his coat pockets, Gu Wonjae watched Yeon Cheongwoo, only Cheongwoo, as the bluish smoke dispersed from his lips. The wind blew, scattering ash, but he didn’t even notice, just silently taking in Cheongwoo’s presence.…What is he doing?Then, he slightly furrowed one eyebrow.Cheongwoo, who had been walking towards him, suddenly changed direction and disappeared into the building. Gu Wonjae, biting down on the cigarette filter without realizing it, tilted his now cold eyes.Not attaching any of his men to Cheongwoo was a kind of test. He was curious to see how the kid would behave without anyone guarding him on all sides outdoors.But, given the chance, he looks away like that?Leaving the rest stop would lead straight to the highway. If he managed to hitchhike right away, things would get very complicated.After a moment of thought, Gu Wonjae gave a quick glance to Manager Choi beside him. The quick-witted secretary immediately understood, raising his phone.Just as Manager Choi was instructing the subordinates to keep an eye on the kid, Cheongwoo, hugging something close to his chest, was walking out of the rest stop building.“Hold on.”Even Manager Choi, unsure of what was happening, paused his call and fell silent. Gu Wonjae slowly blinked, taking in a breath.…Was he planning to escape again? But instead, he appeared with a bunch of snacks.For a moment, Gu Wonjae felt his energy drain. He then furrowed his brows again with a sense of futility and confusion.All the tension he’d built up on the way back felt foolish. What was it about this kid that made his mood fluctuate so quickly? The inexplicable irritation and the complex feelings that had been there before were now rendered meaningless.What was it?Gu Wonjae was genuinely curious for a moment.With now calm eyes, he quietly followed Cheongwoo, who was hugging the food bag tightly. Cheongwoo was dodging through the crowd, sometimes slowing his pace, looking around for the parked car.What are you, really?He couldn’t shake off the recurring question he had felt since the first time he saw Cheongwoo.This was a transaction.The kid always looked at him as if he were some villain who had suddenly intruded into his life, but Gu Wonjae already knew every detail of his life. Was there satisfaction in that? Was there abundance?Cheongwoo had said he didn’t even eat properly before they met. Every time Gu Wonjae saw him, he looked like he might collapse, pushing a tray with a pale face, always living among old things.Therefore, this relationship was nothing more than a mutually beneficial transaction. Cheongwoo gave him energy, and he paid Cheongwoo money. They just exchanged what each needed, nothing more, nothing less.That should be all…Yet, the end of this clear definition always left a strange gap, and Gu Wonjae found that the most irritating.“Oh, he’s got so much.”Manager Choi, who had been silent, murmured with a note of sympathy at that moment.“Seems like rest stop food. I doubt he bought all that to eat by himself…”He added, cautiously observing Gu Wonjae’s reaction.“Could he have bought for our share too?”He might have. Out of his simple-mindedness.Instead of answering, Gu Wonjae quietly brought the cigarette to his lips, sucking on the filter. Who would buy for whose share? Some of the subordinates who had been watching the situation beside him twitched their lips with amusement. Sensing this, Gu Wonjae murmured without inflection.“Don’t laugh.”“I’m sorry, sir.”However, a wry smile also crossed Gu Wonjae’s lips as he remembered the 200,000 won Cheongwoo had been carrying around. That foolish kid.— Sir.The call from a subordinate came the next moment.— Yeon Cheongwoo has just encountered what appears to be an acquaintance.“Acquaintance?”— Yes, I can’t exactly figure out the situation. They seem to know each other, but there’s something a bit…Without listening further, Gu Wonjae moved directly.As he got closer, the conversation became clearer.“I came with someone I know. I can’t go with you.”“Who’s this person you know? Your boyfriend? Choi Gyu-jin? He’s probably just a useless idiot anyway. Bring him here.”The next moment, Cheongwoo tried to move away from the man, but the man grabbed Cheongwoo’s wrist. The paper bag Cheongwoo had been hugging like it was a treasure chest fell to the ground.Gu Wonjae slowed down as he saw walnut cookies rolling out of it. One of the snacks rolled to touch the toe of the man’s shoe.“Let’s do it properly this time? Game.”A famous brand t-shirt, a gold chain necklace not fitting his age, and eyes drooping from drug use.Recently, there’s been a trend of people gathering runaway teenagers or young punks for illegal business like smuggling or drug trafficking. Judging by his drug-addled complexion and attire, he was a notable figure in that scene.All sorts of trash keep sticking to him.Normally, he wouldn’t even cross paths with such people. Gu Wonjae’s gaze, which had been quietly observing Kang Sangjun’s face, slowly moved to the hand gripping Cheongwoo’s wrist.His black eyes were filled with icy coldness.“What game?”When he asked back in a flat, low voice, both of their gazes turned to Gu Wonjae. The cigarette smoke dispersed quietly.“…Who are you?”The man holding Cheongwoo’s wrist looked up with a bewildered face.How dare he. Gu Wonjae suppressed a short, scornful laugh, his eyes conveying a look of disdain, wondering what kind of trash this was. Kang Sangjun flinched.“What, who are you to suddenly… Ahh.”At that moment, Team Leader Jung, standing behind Kang Sangjun, grabbed and subdued him with a light hold.Freed, Cheongwoo stepped back, his face becoming even paler. With a crunching sound of bones shifting, Team Leader Jung twisted Kang Sangjun’s elbow and pressed on the tendons inside the wrist, which looked quite brutal even to an onlooker.“What’s this?” Kang Sangjun’s acquaintances, who had been murmuring nearby, stood up. However, seeing the menacing men surrounding the area to block onlookers, they hesitated.“What the hell is this? Who are these guys suddenly popping up…”Instead of just watching, report it. Kang Sangjun shouted at his friends, and Team Leader Jung, twitching his forehead, pressed Kang Sangjun’s head down hard.“Report? A drug addict like you? Bow your head.”At the same time, he kicked his knee, making him kneel.As the large Kang Sangjun screamed and fell forward, Cheongwoo, startled, instinctively grabbed onto Gu Wonjae’s coat.“Friend?”It was then that Gu Wonjae, who had been silent, asked in a soft voice.He pulled Cheongwoo close by the shoulder. Cheongwoo, tightly embraced against Gu Wonjae’s side to the point of squishing his cheeks, shook his head without being able to answer.“Then?”“Just… a classmate.”“Game?”“…”“What does that mean?”Only then did Cheongwoo slowly lift his head.Looking up at the man with eyes about to cry, Cheongwoo felt the shame he’d been suppressing burn his cheeks and cut deep into his heart when the man asked about the ‘game’.Just like someone said, this shitty situation.Even when he’s just standing still, strange men keep circling around him, and as someone once said, maybe it’s because he was born this way, making him feel like all this was his fault…“Yeon Cheongwoo.”Seeing Cheongwoo still couldn’t answer, the man called out his name more forcefully. Cheongwoo flinched, and Gu Wonjae gave him a look that was hard to read.“Should I follow them?”At that moment, Manager Choi approached and asked.Glancing over, Kang Sangjun had already escaped the noisy scene with his group.The man, after observing for a moment, looked back at Cheongwoo in his arms. The kid was struggling to catch his breath, his face filled with anxiety.A game, huh.From Cheongwoo’s reaction, he could guess without asking further.In the distance, boys around Cheongwoo’s age were just getting into a flashy foreign car. Gu Wonjae lowered his voice further and whispered something into Manager Choi’s ear, which Cheongwoo could only faintly hear as “lower parts.”After that, Manager Choi signaled to Team Leader Jung, who then led a few thugs to quietly follow them.🧸Still, it was a relief. He wasn’t interrogated further about the ‘game’.Cheongwoo, dazed with such thoughts, looked down at the paper bag in his arms.After some hesitation, he rustled open the bag to find freshly baked, warm walnut cookies. He carefully picked one up and took a small bite.The red bean paste inside was exquisite, with chunks of walnut adding to the texture. After swallowing once and wiping his still wet eyes, he put the rest in his mouth all at once.‘Don’t pick it up.’Suddenly, Gu Wonjae’s voice from earlier came to mind.Cheongwoo had only wanted to pick up the snack bags from the floor out of consideration for the cleaners.Looking up at Gu Wonjae, there was a faint hint of irritation on his face, an expression Cheongwoo had never seen before. That made him seem even more terrifying than usual.Gu Wonjae tightly grasped Cheongwoo’s trembling hand and headed back to the snack corner. His coat fluttered ahead, and his back, like a mountain, looked so distant and high. The fingers he forced into an interlocked grip hurt so much that tears welled up in Cheongwoo’s eyes.‘Buy it again.’He commanded, holding out a black card at the kiosk. Cheongwoo, hesitating, took it and, with a hiccup, paid for the same quantity as before.While the food was being prepared, people passing by kept looking at them, making him feel embarrassed again. It was only natural, being held by a large man while trembling.Should I hide behind the chairman? Or not?He briefly considered this while glancing at the man’s large frame. Then, Gu Wonjae, who had been silently watching him, opened his coat and pulled Cheongwoo into his side, covering him with the coat. Inside the wide embrace, Cheongwoo felt even more uneasy and bewildered.This feeling peaked when they arrived at the parking lot.“You distribute it.”“…”As soon as they entered the parking lot with the new snack bag, Gu Wonjae whispered calmly. In front, a line of thugs was waiting.“Thank you.”“We’ll enjoy it.”Every time Cheongwoo, trembling, handed out a chicken skewer, the large men bowed respectfully. Cheongwoo just wanted to throw everything away and get into the car quickly.And then they were back on the highway.He distributed snacks to everyone in the car following behind and even to the driver. All that was left for himself was one bag of walnut cookies. Glancing awkwardly at the seat beside him, he met eyes with Gu Wonjae, who had his chin resting on his hand by the window.“Would you like some, Mr. Chairman? Do you want to try?”Gu Wonjae looked at him with eyes that had deepened in some way, then glanced at the paper bag Cheongwoo was holding tightly and said,“I don’t like that kind of stuff.”“Ah, I see…”So he doesn’t eat this kind of food.Feeling embarrassed, Cheongwoo quietly took out another walnut cookie to nibble on when suddenly, Gu Wonjae leaned over and kissed him.Fortunately, Cheongwoo had just swallowed the cookie, but he was so startled that he crushed the cookie in his hand, causing the red bean paste to leak out. Cheongwoo closed his eyes tightly, accepting the man’s thick, intrusive tongue.“Ha, ah, but you said you don’t like this kind of stuff…”When their lips parted slightly, his small face, complaining, had already turned red. As Gu Wonjae savored the taste by licking his lips lightly, his expression subtly contorted.“Yeah, I don’t like it.”With a low reply, he lifted Cheongwoo’s chin.“I hate it terribly.”Then he kissed him even deeper than before.🧸The night rain was falling.“Don’t spill.”Cheongwoo, with eyes red from holding back tears, tried his best not to cry.However, Gu Wonjae wasn’t talking about tears. He had just ejaculated inside Cheongwoo’s lower abdomen and was blocking it with his glans to prevent any spillage.On the living room sofa, not even in bed, Cheongwoo, with his legs spread wide, tried to push Gu Wonjae away. But the man, like a rock, didn’t budge.Every time Cheongwoo squirmed, the man’s engorged penis inside him stirred, wetly. Even after ejaculating twice, it was still hard and veiny.Drip.At that moment, despite the tight fit, semen started to leak down the shaft of the penis. It was because Cheongwoo moved, causing the semen previously deposited inside to seep out.“I told you not to spill.”Gu Wonjae, pressing Cheongwoo down, frowned slightly.Cheongwoo, looking at him with eyes that couldn’t understand, bit his lip hard. Today, Gu Wonjae was particularly relentless and cruel. After ejaculating inside, he didn’t withdraw, making Cheongwoo feel full.“Shall we mix it up?”With a low chuckle, Gu Wonjae whispered.Cheongwoo’s squirming intensified in shock, but to Gu Wonjae, such movements meant nothing. He spread Cheongwoo’s legs even wider, inserting himself even deeper without any gaps.“Ahh… ah, no!”Cheongwoo twisted his lower body, shaking his head. Gu Wonjae held the back of Cheongwoo’s head, pressing their foreheads together. His breath, smelling of apple, was filled with desire.While licking Cheongwoo’s trembling lips, he moved his hips gently. Instead of thrusting back and forth, he stirred inside, mixing the semen with the inner walls. Every time he pushed deeper, more white liquid leaked out.“How can you… do this, huh, this is really…”Cheongwoo covered his apple-like face with his arms, crying.Gu Wonjae grabbed those wrists, pinning them above his head to admire his crying face. This was not uncommon. Cheongwoo always tried to cover his face when he got too aroused, and Gu Wonjae never let him do so.“This kind of thing?”Gu Wonjae thrust deeper once more, then pulled back. His leisurely, vulgar hip movements thoroughly stirred Cheongwoo’s insides.The sensation of the man pressing, rubbing, and touching every sensitive spot was unbearable. Cheongwoo, swallowing small screams, eventually released what might have been his nth thin stream of semen. His round abdomen was soaking wet.“Huh, stop, I can’t anymore… I can’t, Mr. Chairman. I don’t want this.”In truth, Cheongwoo didn’t hate this sensation anymore.No, while his mind screamed no, his body didn’t agree. His inner walls willingly opened to accept the man’s penis and semen. That was what Cheongwoo hated the most.Why?What was the difference between Kang Sangjun and this man?If we judge by what he’s endured, this man was far worse. Yet, the repulsion he felt with Kang Sangjun didn’t surface with Gu Wonjae. Instead, with time, he found himself helplessly swayed by his movements, his gaze, and his words.He couldn’t understand it himself.Reading the still-present hint of rejection in Cheongwoo’s trembling eyes, Gu Wonjae’s lips twisted slightly. Despite saying no, Cheongwoo’s warm body kept gripping his cock tightly. Gu Wonjae thrust into that heat again and again.Thrusting deep, pulling out, then pushing in even deeper, Cheongwoo helplessly accepted it, crying.“Cheongwoo.”Gu Wonjae whispered softly, lifting his hips high before thrusting down hard with a “thud.”The pressure inside forced the semen to leak out again.“Ah!”Cheongwoo, trembling, tried to push Gu Wonjae away. Those cold yet hot eyes watched him closely, then retreated.The man’s glans, slipping out, lingered at the narrow entrance like a threat, watching him for a while.“Eyes.”Cheongwoo, breathing heavily in fear, finally looked up at him, knowing what was coming next. Seeing his face stiffened with fear, Gu Wonjae’s lips curled up slightly.“…”Though the thrust wasn’t fast, it was deep and intense. The smooth, hard glans pressed firmly into his deep abdomen.Cheongwoo trembled silently, his mouth agape.With his knees pressed against his chest, breathing was difficult. His pink balls, plump perineum, and the space between his buttocks were all glistening with Gu Wonjae’s semen. Looking at Cheongwoo’s belly, swollen with his cock, Gu Wonjae leaned in with satisfaction.“I’ll give you more, so this time, don’t spill any.”“…Ha, huh.”Gu Wonjae covered Cheongwoo’s small mouth, thrusting all the way in at the same time.“Uh, huh, help… ah.”Gu Wonjae lay over Cheongwoo, covering him completely. Cheongwoo’s small body was completely hidden under the man’s large frame.Gu Wonjae gently opened Cheongwoo’s rectum in his embrace, persistently intertwining their tongues. He even nibbled on Cheongwoo’s moist tongue as if savoring tender meat.Cheongwoo couldn’t tell if this sensation was painful, scary, or pleasurable. His eyes gradually unfocused.“Haah, suck it.”Finally, the man gently pulled his lips away, sticking out the tip of his tongue as he whispered. Cheongwoo decided that sucking the man’s tongue was better than having his mouth covered again, so he quickly bit down on it. Even this man, who was always hard and cold, had a soft tongue. Cheongwoo gathered his lips as if feeding a baby bird and sucked gently. Gu Wonjae’s eyes, watching this scene with lowered eyes, were flushed with excitement.As if he couldn’t hold back any longer, Gu Wonjae gripped Cheongwoo’s pelvis.At the moment Cheongwoo’s eyes trembled dizzily, the man’s rock-like penis slammed down between his delicate legs like a thunderbolt.“Ugh!”Cheongwoo screamed, instinctively wrapping his arms around Gu Wonjae’s neck. Even while deeply inserted, the sound of friction accompanied the first, second thrusts, and his testicles were pressed against the entrance.Gu Wonjae bit down hard on Cheongwoo’s tender neck while hooking his arms under Cheongwoo’s knees, lifting him up. With Cheongwoo in his arms, floating in the air, the dark, snake-like penis thrust into him rapidly.“Hic, no, ah, no, I don’t, I don’t want this!”“You don’t hate it. You like big ones, don’t you?”Gu Wonjae chuckled, kissing Cheongwoo’s reddened nose. How could he say such things? Overwhelmed by deep shame, Cheongwoo didn’t know what to do and just clung to Gu Wonjae, crying.“Let go, put me down… ah.”“Don’t run away.”This was another phrase often said during their encounters. The reason their sex had moved from the bedroom to the living room was related to this.When Gu Wonjae had his first climax, Cheongwoo quietly climbed down from the bed and hid in the dressing room. Gu Wonjae caught him and laid him back on the living room sofa to continue.Just as he was about to lay Cheongwoo back on the sofa, changing positions to kiss him, Cheongwoo, trembling with his limp body, resisted violently as Gu Wonjae began thrusting again. Gu Wonjae tried to suppress him to kiss, but Cheongwoo suddenly bit down hard on the man’s lower lip.“Ah.”Frowning sharply, Gu Wonjae touched the bitten lip, which was bleeding.Cheongwoo, more shocked by his own action, was trembling when he escaped again. In the blink of an eye, where the child had been, only their mixed semen remained.Letting out a short, amused laugh, Gu Wonjae calmly stood up to follow Cheongwoo. Now, even such childish and ridiculous struggles didn’t bother him.Whether he liked it or not, Cheongwoo ran to the dining room and quickly hid, curled up in an empty cupboard. But the man, without any sign of searching, opened the cupboard door directly.“…How does the chairman always find people so well?”Cheongwoo, held in the man’s embrace, asked with a tear-stained, hiccupping face. Even in this situation, he seemed curious. Gu Wonjae looked down at Cheongwoo and answered calmly.“I can find you wherever you go.”Whether you go up to the sky or down into the earth.By then, the rain had stopped. The moonlight, washed clean by the rain, filled the dining room with a clearer, colder light. Cheongwoo only realized after the low whisper that he was laid out on the dining table.The heated cries of Cheongwoo began to spread through the elegant annex.
