SOG Ch 111

Since Seon Eun-soo arrived a little late due to rush hour, Chae Seong-hwan had witnessed all of his actions. Until then, he didn’t know what the problem was about an older brother taking his younger brother, but seeing him behaving exactly like a stalker left him speechless. There was nothing normal about stalking your sibling for no reason.

Moreover, as Go Woo-jin expected, Seon Eun-soo approached Guide Seon Jae-chan. Unable to just stand by when the scumbag used psychic abilities on Jae-chan and the man with dyed hair, he intervened.

In short, that bastard Seon Eun-soo was in a very bad mood.

“I’ll talk to you later. And… I have another favor to ask.”

Go Woo-jin left a request regarding Seon Eun-soo. He wanted to personally take care of Seon Eun-soo, who had passed out in another car, but the priority was to take Jae-chan, who had swallowed some kind of medicine, to the hospital.

“Sure, but you owe me big time for this.”

Chae Seong-hwan, who shamelessly added to Go Woo-jin’s debt like when he stole the model answer key from Han Tae-hoon’s office, smiled and waved his hand.

Go Woo-jin heard Jae-chan muttering, ‘Woo-jin…’ softly and quickly left the alley. Since he was accompanied by a driver, he quickly got into the large sedan that was waiting where he got off.

“Please go to the Ross Clinic.”

The Ross Clinic’s neuropsychiatry department had a collaborative relationship with J Pharmaceuticals, so it was a destination he had considered in advance.

It was when he pressed the button to raise the barrier. He met eyes with Seon Jae-chan, who had been giggling.

“Woo-jin…”

This was the guy who kept calling him like he was drunk from earlier. Woo-jin answered “Yes” as he had been doing before and rummaged through the cocktail cabinet. It was when he was about to retrieve a bottle of water that Jae-chan said, “The suit suits you well…”

“I drank that….”

Jae-chan muttered. Indeed, it was a quite understandable pronunciation, just as Chae Seong-hwan had said, like someone who was just drunk.

Motel, Gyeong Chang-hyun, woman. Through a few words, Woo-jin caught on to what Jae-chan was talking about. It had been ominous since he heard about meeting Gyeong Hye-in.

He knew that Gyeong Hye-in was the one who distributed the drug nicknamed ‘Thirsty Zombie.’ He hadn’t intended to confess it honestly, fearing that Jae-chan might attract Gyeong Hye-in’s attention unnecessarily, but he hadn’t expected the two of them to get involved like this. Then he heard Jae-chan’s whisper.

“Shall we go to the hotel?”

“…”

“You… Do what you want. I won’t even remember anyway.”

Do whatever you want. Jae-chan said. Woo-jin stared stiffly at the weak-hearted, smiling man.

Suddenly, Chae Seong-hwan’s voice, which he had heard on the way, seemed to overlap with that flawless smiling face. When he heard that Jae-chan had taken a drug, he immediately contacted him, and when he did not answer the phone, he called Chae Seong-hwan again.

• Did you just call him? He seemed intentionally not to answer the phone?

Woo-jin suddenly felt angry. It was the quietly simmering emotion inside him since he heard that Jae-chan had swallowed something given by Gyeong Hye-in. Seon Jae-chan had said he had swallowed the suspicious substance without any hesitation.

The reason was obvious. It was probably because of the wide-eyed Gyeong Chang-hyun by his side.

This wasn’t the first time something like that had happened. The incident of jumping into the car of a sexual predator on behalf of Kim Geun-won to save someone, the incident of hugging an old man among a mountain of time bombs, and the incident of being taken hostage during the Universal Park incident passed through Woo-jin’s mind like a flash of light.

Seon Jae-chan had a tendency to treat himself poorly in the name of helping someone.

It was the same now. Acting out after taking drugs, it was only instigating trouble for himself. He said he didn’t care what happened to himself.

Why did he keep treating himself so poorly?

However, since it was not the time to let emotions take precedence, Woo-jin silently opened a bottle of water. He took out the antidote from his pocket. When he heard about Gyeong Hye-in and the drugs, he had immediately prepared it. Since discovering that Gyeong Hye-in was at the end of the new drug, he had stocked up generously on the antidote for that drug.

“Open your mouth.”

Since Woo-jin was still angry, a harsh tone came out unintentionally. Seon Jae-chan obediently opened his mouth. The pill slid into his mouth through the gap in his slightly parted lips. Jae-chan took the pill without any suspicion.

The same was true for water. As he carefully tilted the bottle to pour it, a small gulp went down. Woo-jin found his gentle movements both satisfying and frustrating.

Does he know what he’s taking? He doesn’t even ask what it is. Woo-jin could think of it as trust in him, but it also felt like indifference to Seon Jae-chan himself.

When he pushed aside the water bottle, Woo-jin slipped his fingers between the wet lips. Even with the intrusive touch, the soft flesh and seams yielded without resistance. Despite the rough touches against his white teeth and tongue, he only grimaced. The water-soaked soft tongue twitched as it was grabbed.

“…”

As Woo-jin laid eyes on the defenseless, tender flesh, Jae-chan’s voice saying, ‘Do whatever you want,’ came to mind and seemed to give him another impulse.

The worry lasted only for a moment. Instead of rushing at the defenseless opponent, Woo-jin finished the water bottle to cool his insides. He didn’t forget to reach out and fasten this belt.

“It seems the antidote was administered in time. However, the concentration of the antidote seems slightly weaker than the active substance, so the patient may experience dizziness.”

Ross Clinic Neuropsychiatry. Jae-chan received a positive prognosis thanks to the antidote. However, he was transferred to a hospital room due to mild aftereffects that could last for a few hours.

At that point, the nurse who connected the IV had left and only the two people remained in the hospital room. Woo-jin checked the text message Chae Seong-hwan sent.

[I found what that brat Seon Eun-soo locked in a trunk.]

[I think you should know.]

When Woo-jin’s face became extremely cold as he received the transmitted images, Jae-chan, who was slowly regaining his senses, asked a question about Seon Eun-soo.

“What about Seon Eun-soo?”

Woo-jin remained silent and put his cell phone away. He pulled a chair, sat next to Jae-chan’s bed, and asked a question.

“Why.”

“He got a new car.”

His voice was still slightly slurred.

“Rat-colored sedan…It was in an alley.”

Maybe it was because of the drug Kyung Hye-in gave him, but that was all Jae-chan remembered. He couldn’t remember the part where Seon Eun-soo appeared.

Meanwhile, Woo-jin was immersed in silence with his back turned to the dimmed lights. According to the follower’s report, Jae-chan has never met Seon Eun-soo. However, seeing as he knew that Seon Eun-soo had gotten a new car indicated that there were other sources of information besides him. And…

“Did you know and still took it?”

“…”

“Did you take that drug even though you knew Seon Eun-soo was there?”

Seon Jae-chan suddenly felt that Woo-jin seemed a little angry. It was possible since his consciousness was gradually becoming clearer due to the antidote.

Woo-jin also noticed that Jae-chan began to gauge his reaction. His watery eyes blinked awkwardly due to the effects of the drug. Woo-jin softened his voice, making an effort to be gentle.

“What would you do if something happened?”

Although Seon Eun-soo had relatively weak psychic abilities in special-mental categories, he was still an A-grade Esper. Even though Seon Jae-chan also possessed the characteristics of an Esper, the difference in classes was significant. While he was angry that Jae-chan had taken the drug so easily, he found out that Jae-chan was aware that Seon Eun-soo was around. Woo-jin took a deep breath and unbuttoned the tight button around his neck.

“Do you know what was found in that car?”

Suddenly, Woo-jin remembered the photos Chae Seong-hwan had sent him. The photos taken from various angles were taken inside the trunk of the flashy sedan. It was a mess. The sight of all kinds of broken or unopened sex toys overflowing was literally disgusting.

The most noticeable among the obscene pile was a male mannequin bound in a perverted position. Mouth gagged, with black leather straps crisscrossing from under the chin to the wrists and ankles. Woo-jin couldn’t help but notice the limp figure in front of him overlapped with the helpless mannequin.

“…It’s his hobby.”

Jae-chan, who furrowed his brows briefly, answered.

He was making a fairly accurate guess that there might have been adult items found in his brother’s trunk. He didn’t know exactly, but he knew that Seon Eun-soo played using tools. Although he mainly seemed to enjoy it with Jeong Yeon-oh, of course, he never did that to Seon Jae-chan. To Seon Eun-soo, he was just an old toy to be picked up and wielded when he was bored.

Woo-jin looked at Jae-chan’s expression and read his thoughts. This guy had no idea that the target could be him.

“…Yeah, you’re probably right.”

A disappointed laugh escaped. Even if Jae-chan’s words were correct, the problem still remained. There was a clear indication that Seon Eun-soo intended harm to Jae-chan, albeit with a difference in degree. And there was also evidence of Jae-chan casually endangering himself.
