TTD Ch 63

Ja-kyung, who was walking on the lawn, stopped near the pool and gazed into the water. The lights shone brilliantly on the surface of the water. Park Tae-soo arrived after dinner and handed over the documents. It was the first work target. His name was Choi Man-shik, and he was said to be Choi Ki-tae’s uncle.

He took over the business after Choi Ki-tae’s father died, but after learning that Il-hyun was involved in Choi Ki-tae’s death, he attached himself to Chairman Kang and continued to cause trouble like a thorn in the eye. Furthermore, they appeared to be in trouble for selling drugs to minors at an entertainment agency run by Kang Il-hyun’s company. 

After dinner, the three of them talked about it for a while. Ja-kyung then went for a walk in frustration. It briefly rained in the afternoon, making the air damp and the grass wet. Even his exhaled breath was moist.

He was about to go inside the house after a walk, but the phone rang. It was a video call from Sasha. Ja-kyung looked back once to make sure there was no one nearby and pressed the call button. Sasha’s face appeared on the screen.

She smiled broadly when she saw Ja-kyung.

[Wei. What happened? I was surprised when you disappeared without a word.]

Ja-kyung smiled awkwardly with a shy face.

“It happened like that. I won’t be going back for a while.”

Her expression darkened.

[Rita is very sad because Han is gone.]

When there was no answer, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

[Of course, me too. I still think you thought I was special.]

Ja-kyung didn’t understand everything, but he could tell she was sad. He made an apologetuc expression, but Kang Il-hyun’s face suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Argh! His phone slips out of his grasp before he can even turn around.

Kang Il-hyun smiled and said a word to Sasha on the screen.

[He is my lover. Don’t contact him again.]

It’s amazing that he speaks Russian perfectly, but he throws his cell phone right into the swimming pool. Ja-kyung tried to catch it, but it was already drowning and sinking to the bottom of the water. He jumped in and picked it up, but the screen was damaged.

However, the phone’s screen was not the only thing that was broken. Kang Il-hyun sat down on the edge of the pool and smiled down at Ja-kyung as he turned around with a fierce frown. He grabbed Ja-kyung’s face as he approached and looked to the left and right. He hit him hard and Ja-kyung bit his teeth while asking him what he was doing.

“Usually, those who can’t understand my words have their ears cut off, but where should I cut you off in order for you to understand my words?”

“Get lost.”

“Well, even without ears, I think you’ll be fine because you have such a handsome face.”

Ja-kyung screamed because Il-hyun tried to touch his ear.

“You are a psychopath!”

Il-hyun made a sad expression. Even that was disgusting.

“Is it obvious?”

“…”

“They are called mentally sick people. So be kind to me. Give me affection, okay?”

Ja-kyung couldn’t respond at all. Ja-kyung walked out of the pool in disgust. Kang Il-hyun brought a large towel and tried to dry him off as the water dripped from him.

Ja-kyung pushed his shoulders roughly and strides away, but Il-hyun suddenly throws his body over his shoulders and throws him into the pool. There was no time to react because it happened so quickly. Ja-kyung came out of the water and stared at Il-hyun with a stunned expression.

“Cool off and come out. I will wait.”

Ja-kyung crawled out and lunged deadly at him as he smiled.

Wang Han filled a glass with ice, poured it, and brought it to his mouth. While drinking, he looked at the picture of the man Park Tae-soo handed over in the evening. Did he say he was selling drugs and organ trafficking? His shaved head was covered in tattoos up to his neck, and his impression was strong.

He needed to plan a suitable day based on the man’s movements and future plans, but Ja-kyung, who went outside to get some fresh air, did not return. Wang Lun, who was standing in front of the window at the time, burst out laughing. Wang Han was perplexed as to why, but when he stood up, he saw Ja-kyung and Il-hyun tossing and turning in the pool.

“What are they doing?”

“I don’t know. I guess they’re having a love fight. Just a moment ago, Ja-kyung punched CEO Kang in the face.”

“Crazy. Since when have they been doing that?”

“I think it’s been 5 minutes. Should I stop it?”

Wang Han shook his head. Rather than fighting, it appeared that Kang Il-hyun was accepting it one-sidedly. Ja-kyung, who had jumped out of the water, sat on the sunbed in wet clothes. Kang Il-hyun also comes out and grabs a towel to dry his hair.

They had been hitting and running until now, and looking at the current situation, they were lovers.

“He is kinder than I thought. Does he really have feelings for Wei?”

“Don’t trust him too much. That person is also using us anyway, so he won’t trust us.”

Wang Han was on his way back to his seat when Wang Lun whistled and exclaimed, “Wow!” He returned and saw Kang Il-hyun kissing Ja-kyung, who was sitting on the sunbed. Ja-kyung struggled as if it was a surprise attack from behind.

Wang Han scolded Wang Lun for taking out his mobile phone and trying to take evidence.

“Don’t keep teasing Wei.”

“Because it’s fun. I never imagined he would do that with a man.”

He was determined to take a picture, so Wang Han pulled him by the back and led him to the sofa. He was organizing the target’s photos, placing them in an envelope, and began drinking alcohol when he heard a knock. When he opened the door, Ja-kyung walked in, wet and huffing.

“I’ll use the bathroom.”

He finished that sentence and went straight to the bathroom. Wang Lun looked out into the hallway to see if Kang Il-hyun was following him, but he couldn’t see him. The sound of a Ja-kyung swearing came from inside the living room.

***

Ja-kyung, who had been soaking in water for a long time, took a shower and came out wearing Wang Lun’s clothes. When he came out, Kang Il-hyun was openly drinking with the Wang brothers in the living room. Il-hyun had washed and changed his clothes and had a clean face before he knew it. The living room was thick with cigarette smoke, and the tables were crowded with expensive wines and snacks.

Wang Han was fine, but Wang Lun was slightly drunk.

“Come on, Wei. Let’s drink together.”

He pretended he didn’t hear Wang Lun’s call, but Il-hyun asked him to come. He went over to the sofa and sat down on the other side in case Wang Lun would talk about unnecessary things. Kang Il-hyun poured Champagne into Ja-kyung’s glass instead of strong liquor.

A drop rose from the golden liquid. Il-hyun rests his arm on the sofa as Ja-kyung raised the glass to his mouth. His arm came to rest on Ja-kyung’s shoulder. He thought about removing it, but instead ate the watermelon that had come out as a snack.

They must have been discussing work, based on the pictures scattered across the table.

“And then?”

Kang Il-hyun asked Wang Lun, who then responded enthusiastically.

“He met a lot of people after that. From Italian to Vietnamese to Spanish. Oh! What was the name of the Spanish girl? Was it Veronica?”

Ja-kyung, who was sipping champagne, burst out. It was only then that he realized what the three of them were discussing was not work, but Ja-kyung’s previous love affair. He widened his eyes and glared at Wang Lun, but he didn’t think Wang Lun would stop.

“Anyway, she has a pretty face, but her figure is really voluptuous. Right, Wei?”

He glared at him and signaled to stop, but Wang Lun smiled and added another word.

“You liked her quite a bit too.”

“It seems you liked her, my sweetheart.”

Wang Han noticed that it was getting serious and shoved a watermelon into Wang Lun’s mouth when Il-hyun repeated the words with his mouth. He told Wan Lun to stop talking and eat. Wang Lun pushed his hand away.

“I hate watermelons. Wei likes watermelon.”

“No, from today you like it too. Shut up and eat, quickly.”

Looking at them, Il-hyun smiled with a gentle face.

“It’s okay. I don’t really care about that. Because the past is the past.”

He smiled at Ja-kyung as he spoke. Ja-kyung got goosebumps and shook his arm off his shoulder and stood up. “Wang Lun suddenly praised Kang Il-hyun, saying, “Look at that, do you know how broad-minded CEO Kang is?”

He signaled with his eyes to tell Wang Han to quickly drag Wang Lun in and excused himself from the three of them.

“I’m going to bed. I’m so tired.”

He quickly left the room and went to his room. First and foremost, he locked the front door and the bedroom door tightly. Even after 10 minutes and 20 minutes have passed, nothing happened. He was relieved, and just as he was taken off all his clothes and go to bed, he heard a knock.

He didn’t respond, and the doorknob was turned. He frowned and rose from his seat, staring at the door. As expected, it was Kang Il-hyun.

[Stop pretending to be asleep and open it.]

As he pretended to be dead, he heard a small laugh outside the door.

[Should I destroy it to go in?]

Ja-kyung bets he won’t break it. He was just staring at it without answering when the door slammed! Then it opens up. Ja-kyung’s eyes widened when he saw an ax in his hand. Damn, where did you get that from?

Il-hyun smoked a cigarette and smiled as he swung the ax around.

“In case you didn’t know, I put it in every living room. I had no idea it would be used in this way.”

His appearance was similar to that of a killer in a movie. Il-hyun approached Ja-kyung, who was sitting on the bed, slowly while exhaling long smoke.
“I’ve been thinking about it. Where else should I cut beside your ears so you can understand what I’m saying?”

“What?”

Ja-kyung gave him a strange look, but Il-hyun raised the ax in the air and swings it. The ax flew toward Ja-kyung in the blink of an eye. Argh! When he came to his senses, the ax was lodged directly in front of his crotch. Ja-kyung looked at it with a pale expression.

“This crazy bastard…”

He looked up at Kang Il-hyun, who was smoking a cigarette and laughing like a devil.

“You won’t use it in the future anyway, so let’s cut it now. Okay?”
