DB Vol 8 Part 2

There was just something about his atmosphere. Like those times when Gye Yoon had dragged him to the villa.

Of course, belatedly realizing it was impossible since they were currently moving in a large truck, he felt foolish. He felt embarrassed for shouting based on just a feeling, but he saw Gye Yoon’s tightly closed jaw twitch. Huh? Was his intuition right? Was he really going to do it?

“What do you mean by no?” Gye Yoon asked a beat late, but Won-woo’s eyes had already narrowed.

“Just in case, I’m asking, but can you teleport the entire truck?”

“I don’t know, I’ve never tried.”

“But you think you could?”

“…Yes.”

A moment of silence passed. But Won-woo’s mind was noisy with confusion. He’s not crazy, right? He wasn’t really going to try to teleport this big vehicle speeding down the highway, was he? Why? Surely Gye yoon wouldn’t get so aroused just because of what he said… Unconsciously, his gaze went to Gye Yoon’s thigh.

It was dark so he couldn’t see well, but some kind of long shape seemed to be visible. No way, it couldn’t be. Who gets aroused just from hearing one nice word?

“How did you know?”

“…Were you really going to teleport?”

“I got turned on.”

A grumpy retort came out, sounding wronged. In Won-woo’s mind, various insults Gye Min had hurled at Gye Yoon flashed by like a panorama.

“Are you planning to take me to the villa every time you get turned on?”

“I can’t do that. I’m turned on 24 hours a day.”

“Hey, you… Haa.”

Won-woo had never felt so frustrated about his decision not to swear. After calming himself with a deep breath, he poured out a scolding.

“Gye Yoon, talk sense. Are you an animal? Is it mating season?”

As Won-woo angrily scolded him, Gye Yoon’s lips curved up into a long smile.

“Why are you smiling?”

“Because I’m even more turned on.”

“…”

“I’ll try to hold back. Don’t be angry.”

At the gentle voice, Won-woo barely suppressed his urge to flare up. But at Gye Yoon’s following mumble, his eyebrows, which had lowered, rose again.

“You’re so cute when you’re angry. It drives me crazy, I want to make you cry.”

Ha, seriously, what nonsense. Won-woo let out a dry laugh and roughly ran his hand through his hair. Cute when angry, he says.

“I’m too dumbfounded to even get angry.”

“But why can’t I teleport?”

Does he really not know why he’s asking that?

“Obviously because it’s dangerous.”

When Won-woo turned his eyes sharply, he saw Gye Yoon’s lips still curved in a smile. Whether he heard the word ‘cute’ or not, he was about to say something else when suddenly Gye Yoon’s hand came up onto Won-woo’s thigh.

And then, swish, it slid as if brushing towards the inside of his crotch. Won-woo, startled, tried to push his arm away, but the big eater who had cleared out the rest stop snacks was overflowing with strength.

“Take your hand off.”

“It’s not dangerous.”

Won-woo grabbed Gye Yoon’s wrist and threatened him by slightly touching his power.

“It will be dangerous. If I knock you out, we’ll both end up in the afterlife due to an accident.”

It was meant to be a threat, but it still didn’t work. Gye Yoon, on the contrary, couldn’t stop smiling as if something was so good. With anger not working and threats not effective, only exasperation remained. Just as he was thinking that he couldn’t win against this guy, a murmur escaped from Gye Yoon.

“Looks like I’m the only one burning up.”

Won-woo stopped in the middle of pushing Gye Yoon’s arm away. The large hand that had been gripping Won-woo’s thigh as if not wanting to let go also lost its strength. With the resistance gone, Gye Yoon’s hand openly kneaded and rubbed.

“There won’t be an accident. Because I can stop the car the moment I want to.”

Gye Yoon spoke as if coaxing, but Won-woo couldn’t hear properly. All his nerves were focused on his leg. The darkness in the car and the noise from the road were enough to hide the embarrassment, and he almost enjoyed it as is. Barely remembering they were driving, he pushed his arm away with effort.

“Just focus on driving.”

He pushed him away harshly, but as if that’s what he was waiting for, Gye Yoon caught his hand in mid-air and pulled it towards himself. Then he pressed Won-woo’s palm firmly onto his own thigh. The hard bulge was immediately felt through the pants. The firm column felt so hot that it seemed like it would leave a mark on his palm even through the pants.

“Touch me.”

Gye Yoon murmured in a low, cracked voice. The short word was so full of heat and lust that it felt like the temperature in the narrow car suddenly rose. Won-woo rejected coldly, suppressing the urge to swallow.

“No.”

He tried to pull his hand away, but Gye Yoon wouldn’t let go of Won-woo. He forcibly held onto his hand and made him rub his dick. If it had been someone else, he would have really gotten angry, asking why they were acting so recklessly and dangerously, but with Gye Yoon, it wasn’t so easy. He didn’t dislike Gye Yoon being in heat, and he felt pathetic for that. So he tried hard to scrape together his reason.

“Wait until we can safely park the car.”

“Then now…”

“I mean somewhere we can properly park, not just stopping abruptly on the narrow shoulder.”

Speaking firmly, he yanked his hand away, and a sigh mixed with dissatisfaction escaped Gye Yoon’s lips.

“Haa, you’re telling me to hold back until then?”

“If you hold back well, I’ll do what you want.”

For a moment, Gye Yoon’s hands gripping the steering wheel tightened. Won-woo quickly added.

“Teleportation is not allowed.”

“Why not?”

Sharp irritation unlike him showed in the question. Won-woo understood why Gye Yoon had laughed when he got angry earlier. Although Gye Yoon frowned as if quite displeased, to Won-woo he only looked cute. So he answered playfully.

“Isn’t it better if we wait?”

“Well, I think it’ll just make my mood worse.”

“I like that too.”

This time there was no sigh, no lewd retort. But Won-woo was certain that this statement had stimulated Gye Yoon the most. He clenched his jaw as if gritting his teeth. His eyes, fixed ahead, shone especially bright in the darkness, and his chest rose and fell greatly.

For a brief moment, it looked like his whole body had tensed up, but Won-woo couldn’t observe further. The truck suddenly changed lanes, then sharply increased speed and exited towards some tollgate. Huh?! The surprised Won-woo checked the rapidly passing road signs and his eyes widened.

“This isn’t the right way! Where are you…”

Won-woo couldn’t finish speaking and hurriedly raised his hand to grab the handle on the ceiling. The truck was spinning at high speed on the curved road leading to the tollgate. Are you crazy? Won-woo barely held back the curse that rose to the tip of his tongue.

“How can you turn so fast when we’re carrying cargo?!”

He shouted, but it was drowned out by the engine and wind noise. Slow down! Won-woo shouted again, but the car had already passed through the rotary in an instant. As they entered the straight road, Won-woo finally let out the breath he’d been holding.

“You should have slowed down when turning! Trucks can tip over due to the weight shift on the ax- Ack!”

Again, he couldn’t finish his sentence. The truck came to an abrupt stop on the wide shoulder just before passing through the tollgate. This time his body lurched forward sharply.

“What on earth…”

“I parked properly in a wide space, so it’s fine, right?”

Won-woo was at a loss for words and turned to look at him. In fact, he looked proud, like a child expecting praise for doing as Won-woo had said.

“Do you not know the meaning of ‘properly’?”

“I do.”

He replied shamelessly as he unbuckled his seatbelt. Won-woo frowned and looked around. It was already late at night, and the area near the tollgate was quiet, perhaps because it wasn’t a frequently used road.

“Someone who knows better shouldn’t drive like this… What are you doing?”

Click. Gye Yoon unbuckled Won-woo’s seatbelt and tilted his head to the side.

“It’s uncomfortable, isn’t it?”

“You’re going to do it here?”

Won-woo couldn’t hold back a sigh and quickly scolded him.

“You got lucky this time, but what if you drive like that? Especially with trucks, the braking distance is long, so if there’s an accident…”

“There won’t be an accident.”

“You can’t know that for sure.”

“I’ll use my ability before an accident happens.”

“Being an Esper doesn’t make you omnipotent.”

“I’ll become omnipotent.”

“…”

“Anything more?”

“…Stop coming closer.”

Won-woo said this while backing away further, but there was nowhere else to retreat with the door behind him. Gye Yoon, who had approached as if cornering Won-woo, stopped replying for the first time. Instead, he curved his lips and smiled silently. Even though it was dark, it was hard to take his eyes off his smile. Those lips parted slightly.

“Alright.”

The low voice tickled his ear. Won-woo raised his eyes from the lips he had been looking at. As their eyes met, Gye Yoon caught Won-woo’s gaze as if he had been waiting for it.

The heat trapped in those black pupils seemed almost tangible as it flickered. For a moment, he was captivated by those eyes, as if in a daze staring at a burning flame. Won-woo opened his mouth because the other had come even closer, almost touching.

“I thought you said alright?”

“Yes. I understand very well. You like it when I do the opposite, Won-woo-ssi.”

“I do?”

Won-woo retorted as if dumbfounded, but in reality, it came out as quietly as a breath. In fact, this much of a response was the best he could manage. He was still captivated by those black eyes as if under a spell. Gye Yoon maintained a distance that was almost touching, without coming any closer. However, in that narrow gap, a tense heat gathered.

“When I do the opposite, your heart races.”

The low, cracked voice was irresistibly alluring. The will to push him away coldly slowly melted. Won-woo just instinctively uttered a response.

“…It could be because I dislike it.”

“No. You’re hard.”

Gye Yoon’s hand covered the front of Won-woo’s crotch and stroked upwards. As Won-woo held his breath and stiffened, Gye Yoon’s lips came close enough to almost touch. Won-woo barely managed to summon his reason and pushed against his shoulder with his hand.

“This is inside a car.”

“I like it even if it’s cramped.”

“It’s not even our car.”

“I’ll buy it.”

Like the villa? Won-woo quickly shook his head.

“Don’t waste money on unnecessary things.”

“Then I’ll clean it.”

“That doesn’t…”

“Alright. If it gets dirty, I’ll change the seats, change the engine, do anything.”

His lips were now close enough to almost touch Won-woo. The cracked, urgent voice settled on his skin along with his breath.

“Can I kiss you now?”

“…Why aren’t you teleporting?”

Though he was too close to see his expression, Won-woo could tell he was smiling. A shallow laugh mixed into his voice.

“Because you’ll be embarrassed if we do it here.”

It was a spot-on remark, and heat rose to Won-woo’s face. Suddenly realizing what he was about to do, he tried to push Gye Yoon’s shoulder again. Having sex inside someone else’s truck, parked on the shoulder of the road. But he failed again this time. Gye Yoon, seemingly out of patience, suddenly pushed against Won-woo.

His hot breath covered Won-woo’s lips. The way he sucked on his lips as if asking them to open made Won-woo unable to resist any longer. As soon as he parted his lips, Gye Yoon’s tongue eagerly invaded. The tongue swirling inside and the roughened breathing sounded like desperate moans, making Won-woo’s chest tingle.

The more urgent and impatient Gye Yoon became, this tingling always rose to Won-woo’s head, turning into euphoria. Feeling Gye Yoon’s heat pouring into his mouth, Won-woo couldn’t help but wrap his arms around his neck. Their bodies were already pressed together, but he still tried to get a little closer, applying force.

However, movement was restricted in the narrow car, and arms and hands bumped against the seat and window. Yet neither of them seemed to notice the pain as they explored each other. Meanwhile, the impatient Gye Yoon fumbled with his hand, trying to recline the seat. Unable to easily find the lever, he cursed.

“Ha, shit.”

Won-woo blocked his arm and murmured in a breathless voice.

“The back, to the cot.”

Gye Yoon seemed to finally remember the narrow bed made by modifying the space behind the seats. He quickly detached his upper body and grabbed Won-woo under the armpits, lifting him like a child. Won-woo tensed in surprise, but was instantly laid down on the cot by Gye Yoon’s hands.

Soon after, Gye Yoon crawled on top, covering Won-woo. Originally a space barely big enough for one adult to lie down, they couldn’t fully stretch their legs even with their bodies pressed together as if overlapping. But if they could release this excitement, it wouldn’t matter even if it was an even tighter space.

“Lift your hips.”

Gye Yoon ordered while biting his lower lip, still clinging to Won-woo. Won-woo raised his waist while his lips were captured by Gye Yoon. Busy having his lips sucked intensely by Gye Yoon, he didn’t realize his pants were being roughly removed along with his underwear.

It was such a tight space that they kept bumping into each other, but it was only when Gye Yoon’s clothes rubbed against his skin that he realized his lower body was free. Even though it was just clothes, the direct stimulation on his dick felt so good that Won-woo unconsciously raised his hips. As Won-woo rubbed his dick against him, Gye Yoon let out a guttural sound and exhaled hot breath.

“You want to do it? Hm?”

“Ha, haah, yes, hurry up.”

Forgetting his embarrassment, Won-woo rubbed his dick against Gye Yoon’s abdomen again. Excited, Gye Yoon grabbed Won-woo’s thighs with his hands and pushed them up. But because the car was so narrow, Won-woo’s legs couldn’t spread as much as he wanted.

As a result, one knee banged against the car wall, but Won-woo’s senses were entirely focused on the weight pressing down on his body. Still obsessed with his lips and clinging to them, Gye Yoon, unable to hold back, lowered his hand to undo his own pants buckle. He hurriedly took out his erect dick, only lowering his underwear.

Mwah, mwah.

Gye Yoon didn’t stop audibly sucking on Won-woo’s lips as he grasped both their dicks together.

“Hng, nngh!”

Won-woo inhaled sharply just from being grabbed, and Gye Yoon also trembled as if shuddering.

“Haah, shit, I feel like I’m going to cum.”

He spat out his impression fiercely as he moved his hand quickly. The wet sounds of their saliva-soaked lips meeting and parting mixed with the flesh sounds of rubbing dicks. These lewd sounds filling the narrow car fueled their excitement.

Both of them struggled to touch and feel each other more in the cramped space. Their own impatient behavior, unable to control their urgency like inexperienced lovers, felt unfamiliar and stimulating. So Won-woo, unable to hold back the rapidly rising pleasure, came first. Though it was clearly a familiar ecstasy, this time the stimulation was particularly intense from the start. The tingling spread from his spine to the top of his head.

Hah, hah.

As Won-woo writhed his lower abdomen, shaking off the afterglow of climax, Gye Yoon’s hand dropped. Then, he grabbed the inside of Won-woo’s thigh and pushed it up. Won-woo, with no place to put his leg floating in the air, hooked it over the front seat. It was uncomfortable, but in this space, it was inevitable if the bulky Gye Yoon was to move from above.

Even though he couldn’t move his body freely because it was cramped, this restriction only fueled the fire. Far from complaining, Won-woo voluntarily spread his legs to make room for Gye Yoon. As his hole was revealed between his buttocks, Gye Yoon’s finger rubbed the entrance. Realizing that he was the only one who had climaxed first, Won-woo suppressed a moan and asked.

“What about you?”

Won-woo reached out a hand as if to touch him, but Gye Yoon grabbed his hand, pressed it down, and lowered his lips. Again, with a wet smack, a hot tongue entered and swept the inside of Won-woo’s mouth. Won-woo’s desire, which had subsided after his orgasm, surged again with the kiss.

“I’m going to cum inside.”

The husky voice came out mixed with rough breaths. Then, he pushed his finger, wet with bodily fluids, into Won-woo’s hole. His body, more sensitive than usual, was stimulated by just one finger. Won-woo couldn’t bear the sensation of his lower abdomen tightening and twisted his upper body.

“Ahng.”

Surprisingly, there was no pain. There wasn’t even a foreign sensation. The movement of the finger digging into his hole and widening the inside only fueled anticipation and impatience.

“Haahng.”

As a moan full of heat flowed from Won-woo’s mouth, Gye Yoon lowered his lips and sucked on his nape.

“Hah, haah.”

He also let out hurried breaths, stretching his finger to widen the inside. Won-woo’s body, remembering the pleasure, was already wriggling and tightening his rear at the rough touch. Gye Yoon’s breathing became rough at the feeling of the firm inner wall enveloping his finger.

Knowing how tightly that inside would grip his own dick, a clear liquid unknowingly flowed from the tip of his erect dick. He gathered his dwindling patience and focused on widening the inside with his finger, but Won-woo’s cracked voice made it all in vain.

“Hurry, put it in.”

Gye Yoon, who had buried his face in Won-woo’s shoulder and was panting, spat out briefly between his teeth.

“Hah, shit.”

He cursed himself for his patience evaporating in an instant, but that was all that remained of his reason. From then on, instinct dominated him. Gye Yoon raised his upper body and grabbed his dick, bringing it to Won-woo’s hole. As he rubbed the entrance with the wet tip of his glans, Won-woo squeezed his eyes shut.

Goosebumps were already rising on his spine in anticipation. As Gye Yoon pushed Won-woo’s legs up further, Won-woo’s back arched roundly. It was an unstable position, but he didn’t even recognize it. Only the feeling of the wet glans touching below occupied his mind.

Even though the inside of the truck was dark, Gye Yoon’s form was visible as a black silhouette. He was supporting his weight with one hand, pressing close between Won-woo’s legs. Sensing that he was about to enter, Won-woo stopped breathing and froze. Gye Yoon also held his breath and thrust the blunt tip into the wrinkled entrance.

“Euuhng.”

Won-woo bit his lip, trying to endure the familiar pain. Normally, Gye Yoon would wait a little longer, but this time he didn’t give him any room and mercilessly thrust his waist. The tip of the tightly swollen shaft pierced into his belly like a sharp weapon.

“Ahht!”

Despite expecting it, a groan mixed with pain flowed from Won-woo’s mouth. The solid volume that filled the inside as if tearing it apart was overwhelming at first, no matter how many dozens of times he had accepted it.

“Haa, you’re too tight.”

Unlike Won-woo, a sigh-like whisper flowed from Gye Yoon. He hadn’t even inserted half of it yet, but his head was spinning. The sensation of his dick being squeezed made him feel like he was about to cum, and he couldn’t move any further. In the meantime, Won-woo breathed out through his mouth, trying to adjust to the thickness filling his rear.

“Haa, hah, euht… haa.”

With no place to grab, he groped around and grabbed Gye Yoon’s arm, which was propping up his head. Pleased by Won-woo’s unconscious movement, Gye Yoon’s eyes darkened even more with lust. No matter how high the stimulation of intercourse was, nothing was as exciting as Won-woo’s gesture of clinging to him.

Expecting the more desperate pleas that would flow from his mouth as he pushed him harder, Gye Yoon tensed his jaw and thrust his waist. This time, slowly, feeling the inner wall as it was, he released the breath he had been holding only after inserting it to the root. He stopped there for a moment and stared at Won-woo.

The sound of Won-woo’s breath filled his body like the three-dimensional resonance of an orchestra. The sound of his breathing was uniquely wondrous. Every time he heard it, he was filled with overwhelming emotion. Gye Yoon buried himself in Won-woo’s body and trembled slightly in his lower abdomen.

“Hah, hoo.”

Gye Yoon cummed quickly inside Won-woo, but moved again immediately. In the meantime, Won-woo, who had become accustomed to the thick shaft, twisted his waist at the feeling of it brushing against his inner wall.

“Euht.”

Gye Yoon pushed Won-woo’s legs and bent his upper body. As if wanting to stick closer even a little, he lowered his head and finally met Won-woo’s lips. At the same time, he began to thrust his waist in earnest. The friction of entering and pulling out heated the inside.

Gye Yoon covered the inside of Won-woo’s mouth with rough breaths and filled the lower part with heat. Slowly pulling it out, then quickly pushing it in. He stirred and stimulated the inside of Won-woo in an offbeat rhythm. At first, it only felt hard, but when a tingling sensation spread to his lower abdomen, it changed completely. The flesh that invaded mercilessly turned into a mass of heat and clung to the inside.

And now, this existence only gave Won-woo pleasure. Every time his dick was pushed in, a tingling sensation flared up in his lower abdomen. At that moment, Won-woo clenched his rear and let out a moan.

“Ah! Ah… haht!”

As Won-woo, who had started to feel it, opened his mouth and let out a sensual whimper, Gye Yoon hugged him tightly and began to thrust in earnest.

Slap, slap.

Every time Gye Yoon’s pubic bone touched between Won-woo’s spread buttocks, a lewd sound of flesh echoed. As the repetitive stimulation continued, the tingling became so strong that it was overwhelming. Won-woo forgot where he was having sex and clung tightly to Gye Yoon’s arm.

He wrapped his legs around Gye Yoon’s waist to prevent himself from being pushed up as he was being pounded by him. As Won-woo clung to him, Gye Yoon began to rock his hips as if he had lost his mind to pleasure. Just the movement brushing against his pleasure point made Won-woo writhe, unable to handle the climax.

“Hngh! Ah! Haat!”

As if to keep him from escaping, Gye Yoon bent his body and held Won-woo even tighter. As the angle changed to a downward thrust, the dick that had only been rubbing his inner walls now hit the spot with every entry.

“Hnngh, ah! Wait, aah! Hngh!”

Won-woo gasped out his breaths as if sobbing, but the dick driving deep inside him showed no mercy. Rather, admiration mixed with overwhelming breaths flowed from above Won-woo’s head.

“Haa, hah, good. Hah, fuck, so good.”

The sensation of being squeezed along the entire length of his shaft every time he pushed deep was maddeningly amazing. His lower body, pressed against Won-woo’s buttocks, became as hot as the insides that held his flesh. The sticky fluids moistening the entrance seemed to melt in the heat, making the squelching sounds even louder.

“Hnngh… Ah! Haht! Ah!”

Every time their lower bodies collided, pressing down on each other’s flesh, a moan that Won-woo would normally be ashamed of flowed from his mouth. Won-woo’s dick, which had already cummed and was slick and wet, shook rapidly between them. At the moment of climax, Gye Yoon let out an animalistic groan from his throat as he trembled his lower abdomen and tightened his rear several times. Then, he straightened his upper body, readjusted his position, and began to thrust fiercely.

The sound of flesh from intercourse, excited breaths, and the creaking of the chair mixed together and turned back into heat. The narrow car quickly became hot. At some point, Won-woo began to lift his waist and tighten his rear, and Gye Yoon felt a climax and pulled his waist back greatly. He thrust briefly a few times as it was, then closed his eyes.

Won-woo held onto him tightly to keep from being pushed back by the force and felt the heat spreading inside him. After coming, Gye Yoon rocked his hips a few more times, emptying himself of the rest, and only then did he open his closed eyes.

The shivers and tremors that Gye Yoon felt as he climaxed were conveyed to Won-woo as well. Won-woo, who was breathing as if relieved at the barely stopped movement, let out a low moan from his throat.

“Euungh…”

He closed his eyes as it was and gasped for breath. When the storm-like climax, which he didn’t know how he had gotten through, ended and silence came, Won-woo felt uneasy and opened his eyes. Then, he met the gaze looking down at him in the darkness and muttered.

“No.”

He didn’t say what wasn’t allowed, but Gye Yoon clearly understood. He smiled and lowered his lips. Won-woo tried to push him away, but Gye Yoon’s lips covered him ravenously. And for a moment, a feeling of dizziness and the disappearance of sound enveloped Won-woo.

When Won-woo opened his eyes, thinking it was familiar, the location had already changed. It was dark inside, but he could feel that what touched his back was a soft mattress. And although he couldn’t see, he knew where this was. It was the villa.

“I said no…”

Won-woo’s complaint was again silenced by hot lips.

“Didn’t you say you’d do what I want if you endure well?”

Gye Yoon demanded, reminding Won-woo of the proposal he had made in the moving truck.

“I want to do it. Let me do it.”

Without waiting for Won-woo’s answer, Gye Yoon started moving his hips. The dick still inside Won-woo began to move again.

*

It had been barely two weeks since both families had completely collapsed. But for the Gye family members, it felt like 10 years. There was so much to do. Even today, Gye Min, who had already finished several meetings since morning, took time to receive a report from Chief Jung.

“Who dealt with the monster farm in the western D-22 area?”

Chief Jung briefly answered her sharp question.

“Officially, it was the Vice Head.”

“And in reality?”

“Ji Won-woo.”

“Why didn’t that bastard actually do it?”

Although she referred to him as ‘that bastard’, Chief Jung automatically translated it to Gye Yoon’s name.

“The Vice Head was in the middle of solving monster problems at another farm. As the two farms were close, I believe he went to deal with it preventively, worried that the monster fruits at the D-22 farm might be affected.”

Gye Min said nothing, but Chief Jung added, as if defending Won-woo,

“We’re quite short on Espers in both east and west, so we’re struggling to deal with farm issues.”

I know. That’s why we started this farm reorganization work. Gye Min still remembered Won-woo’s voice when he made this proposal to her. She couldn’t tell if he was being bold or indifferent, proposing such an enormous task so calmly and casually.

Either way, she liked it very much. So much that she wanted to give him a major position right away. The problem was that he had thrown out the solution and then taken a step back, just touring farms. Well, she could guess the reason.

“There are still some who oppose the farm closures, but they’ve also keenly felt the lack of management, so now the opposition has quieted down.”

Chief Jung’s voice broke Gye Min’s thoughts. Gye Min, checking the report, brought up Won-woo again.

“So where is Ji Won-woo now?”

When no answer came, she glanced up to see Chief Jung hesitating before speaking.

“He’s said to be driving a truck.”

“Again?”

Why a truck of all things?

“Is there a special reason he’s not using the transportation portal?”

“A truck? Well, as seed prices have risen, it’s become difficult to move cargo via transportation portals. Because of that, truck transportation has exploded. Originally, the seeds needed for one use of a transportation portal were equivalent to operating 50 trucks…”

“I meant Ji Won-woo.”

Ah. Chief Jung pushed up his glasses sheepishly.

“Well… Perhaps he wants to see the situation of ordinary people firsthand? There’s also the proposal you made, Family Head.”

“He rejected my proposal outright.”

She had asked Won-woo again recently when had briefly stopped by to provide guiding for Hwan. She offered power that anyone would envy if he would help the administrator. If Won-woo went, his goldfish poop of a younger brother would naturally follow and take charge of that area, killing two birds with one stone. Of course, he rejected it outright this time too. While others were desperate to attain that position.

“And then he drives a truck?”

As Gye Min spat out disapprovingly, Chief Jung reported on Won-woo’s activities as if to inform her.

“It’s not just the truck. The ordinary people who worked at the farms have all but lost their jobs, right? Of course, some farms decided to build new power plants or research institutes in their place, so they absorbed the workforce as is. But for those that didn’t, relocating the workforce is met with protests and complaints. It seems the administrative staff is struggling to handle the civil complaints. I hear Ji Won-woo helps with that on-site every time.”

“Dealing with civil complaints? What has that kid been doing all this time?”

“The Vice Head is with him too.”

“…This goldfish poop bastard.”

“But this is nothing, Family Head. The farms are located in remote areas away from populated places, right? The only inhabited places nearby are small rural villages. In one of them, a goat they were raising escaped, and Ji Won-woo is now searching the mountains to find it. Of course, the goldfish poo… ahem, the Vice Head is with him too.”

“…”

There was no response from Gye Min, but Chief Jung could read her thoughts well enough. Because he too was speechless with disbelief when he first heard it. What a waste of manpower. There are so many good positions where they could immediately use their abilities, yet they want to drive trucks and chase goats?

“Perhaps he wants to be away from the Gye family for a while after going through such a big ordeal?”

At Chief Jung’s worried words, Gye Min shook her head inwardly. She thought that perhaps Ji Won-woo was trying to fulfill Gye Yoon’s childhood dream in his own way. She didn’t understand why it had to be a truck, but on the other hand, she found that sentiment lovely.
