TTD Ch 66

Il-hyun frowned in the humid weather. He noticed the light in Lee Ja-kyung’s room was still on as he crossed the yard. Is he not sleeping? His mouth became itchy after two days of simple greetings, and he can’t stand it any longer. He was dying to see Ja-kyung’s face when he had had enough of his teasing.

The urge to spread his firm ass open and shove his dick into it boiled over several times a day. He has to be patient. He tried to suppress his craving by chewing on the end of his cigarette. He smoked a few cigarettes while sitting like that, but the desire did not go away but rather flared up.

Fuck. I can’t. If he entered the house in this state, he would immediately proceed to the second floor and attack Lee Ja-kyung. He took off his shoes and jacket, loosened his tie, and walked into the pool to cool off. He will come to his senses if he soaks in water. When the security guard outside with the dog looked at him, he waved that he was fine, then relaxed and lay down in the pool.

He couldn’t hear anything because his body floated and his ears were submerged. It’s relaxing. Raindrops began to fall from the sky one by one. It’s like returning to his dead mother’s womb. Long before he was born, his mother discovered she was pregnant for the second time and was devastated.

Her condition deteriorated beyond all recognition at the time, and she referred to the child in her womb as the devil, beat him with her fist, rolled down the stairs, and later used drugs without his father’s knowledge. Regardless of how difficult his life was, he eventually came out to the world.

Chairman Kang was elated to have a son, but his mother’s eyes were filled with hatred throughout Il-hyun’s growth.  He used to do bizarre things when he was younger, longing for that kind of motherly love. Perhaps this irritated her even more. It got so bad that he blamed himself for being born a human who shouldn’t have been born.

But not anymore. He had wanted everything since he was born. He wanted to get to the top so he could look down at the world beneath his feet. He needs more power than he currently has to accomplish this.

The world fell silent when he closed his eyes. Raindrops hit his face. After lying down for a while, someone jumped into the water. Il-hyun opened his eyes and straightened his body. And he couldn’t help but be surprised to see the person in front of him.

Lee Ja-kyung, who should have been inside the house, entered the pool and stood in the middle of it, holding his arm. Fear flashed through his big eyes.

“Why are you making that face?”

“What face?”

It was a brusque tone, but Il-hyun instinctively realized that Lee Ja-kyung was worried about him and jumped in. Just in case, he blocked the rain with his hand and carefully wiped his face. He usually hated even the slightest touch and slapped him terribly, but today he is calm.

Ah, I’ve realized now. What kind of person you are.

“Let’s not get caught in the rain and go out. You will catch a cold.”

He grabbed Lee Ja-kyung’s arm and pulled him out of the pool. He was drenched, and the rain was pouring down heavily. They walked into the house. After roughly wiping off the water with a towel in the closet in front of the entrance, Ja-kyung headed to the second floor. Il-hyun also walked to his room on the first floor without saying anything.

Ja-kyung came out of the shower, changed his clothes, and brushed his dripping wet hair. The rain that had been falling for a short time had stopped as if it had never happened. When he looked out the window, the pool was completely empty, as if nothing had happened. It’s as if he was being possessed by a ghost.

Why did he go down there? He went to bed and sat down, regretting his actions, when he heard a knock on the door. Kang Il-hyun appeared as the door opened. With a mug in one hand.

“May I come in?”

He entered after Ja-kyung nodded. He sat down after placing the teacup on the bedside table. He’d just gotten out of the shower and was dressed in an ink-colored gown, but his wet hair was covering his forehead, making him appear much younger and gentler than usual.

“Thank you for earlier.”

“What?”

“Actually, I wasn’t feeling well… You may have heard… Today is my Mother’s memorial day…”

“…”

“I thought I could see my mother’s face for a moment if I lay there, but you appeared.”

Ja-kyung was at a loss for words for a moment as he stared at Kang Il-hyun, who drew the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. Was it because he was really sad? He thought   Il-hyun was trash that even dogs wouldn’t bite into because he was a human with no blood or tears. Ja-kyung couldn’t believe it and examined his expression. Didn’t he talk about his dead mother before and seek his comfort?

Kang Il-hyun bit his lower lip and rubbed his face with his hand, avoiding his gaze. Ja-kyung was taken aback as he noticed Il-hyun’s eyes turning slightly red as he returned his gaze. What. What’s wrong with him?

Ja-kyung was lost and thinking about it, but Kang Il-hyun gave him a strange look.

“Lee Ja-kyung. I have a favor.”

“Tell me… ”

“Can’t I just sleep here for tonight?”

“…”

“I have no other intentions. It’s because I’m afraid of sleeping alone. Actually, I’m only telling you this, but I always have nightmares around this time of year. Of course, you won’t believe it.”

Unbelievable. Rather, Ja-kyung wondered if there were many people who suffer from nightmares because of him. Kang Il-hyun waited for an answer without pressing him. He just blinked his long eyelashes and looked down at his hands resting on his thighs.

“That’s… I don’t like it.”

Il-hyun’s eyes looked up as he notices Ja-kyung’s more determined demeanor than he expected. His eyes were even redder than they had been. Ja-kyung was stunned and at a loss for words. Il-hyun frowned and smiled heartbrokenly.

“Sorry. I asked for too much.”

He obediently stood up, said good night, and turned around. Ja-kyung bit his lower lip.  There’s no need for him to comfort him, no matter how he thinks about it. Then he remembered his childhood. Ja-kyung had nightmares for quite some time after moving to China. Every night, his parents crawled out of the drum and attacked him like demons, asking him to die with them.

Wang Han visited him on those days and patted him until he fell asleep. Even now, he has that dream on occasion. Even though he knew it was all a dream, he was terrified and always run away, and when he awoke, his entire body was soaked with cold sweat.

“From the side…”

When Ja-kyung spoke, Il-hyun stopped in front of the door.

“But, sleep away instead. Don’t do anything else.”

He thinks the corners of Il-hyun’s mouth raised slightly as he returned his gaze. Ja-kyung was suspicious, but Il-hyun’s sad expression made him couldn’t argue if he was acting. He can’t possibly be someone who used his dead mother as an excuse, can he?

Kang Il-hyun climbed onto the bed.  The atmosphere was awkward as they lay side by side facing the ceiling. Ja-kyung turned his back on Kang Il-hyun and looked at the other side.  This is better. He tried to fall asleep, but he felt warmth on his back.

He expected this person to be like this. When Ja-kyung turned around to look at him, he noticed saw Kang Il-hyun burying his face by resting his forehead on his back. He crouched like an abandoned baby animal with his large body. He felt strange for a moment because the appearance was so familiar.

“I’ll borrow your back for today.”

It was a voice that made even the listeners feel sad.  His chin stiffened several times, as if he was trying to keep a cry from coming out. Ja-kyung let out a small sigh and finally gave up. Kang Il-hyun’s left arm enters the front of Ja-kyung’s chest and hugged him.

But that was it. He didn’t do anything. An occasional sigh was mixed with the sound of breathing behind his back. Then something hard hit his buttocks, and his body froze when he realized what it was.

He tried to stand up, but Il-hyun was hugging him so tightly from behind that he couldn’t. He pushed his buttocks forward, but it followed him and poked him again. Unable to bear it, he pulled off his arm and turned over. Their breaths came and went as they faced each other right in front of their noses.

“Excuse me, Director.”

“It’s CEO.”

“Yes, sir… You’re sad, but why is your dick hard?”

“You don’t even go to the bathroom because you’re sad? Are you not eating?”

“…”

“It’s physiological… It’s separate from my sadness, so don’t worry about it.”

He said it with a sad expression, so Ja-kyung couldn’t tell him not to mess around. Why did his bangs come down again today, he looked gentler than usual, damn it. While he was swearing inwardly, Il-hyun buried his face in Ja-kyung’s chest.

He didn’t have the spirit to push him away because it happened so quickly. He was wearing a T-shirt, but it was thin, so his nose bridge was pressed down and he could feel his breath. He pushed against his shoulder, but he didn’t move. Furthermore, Il-hyun’s cheek kept touching the places of his nipple.

“Wait. Wait for a moment.”

“Don’t push… I want to be comforted.”

“…”

Ja-kyung let him go and hugged him before closing his eyes. Instead of his usual skin smell, he smelled like fragrant peaches. It felt like a different person, to the point where he wondered if he was really Kang Il-hyun.

“Sleep well.”

He still said in a sad tone.

However, Ja-kyung was so distracted by it that he didn’t even notice that the corners of Kang Il-hyun’s lips were going up.
