“Kim Seok-cheol?”

“Yes. It seems like yesterday Boss Son didn’t move according to Kim Seok-cheol’s instructions, and they want to interrogate Sehwa about it. But the message content is a bit…”

“Why? What’s in the content?”

​“I think you should see it for yourself.”​

Lieutenant Park stared at Ki Tae-jeong on the screen before shifting his focus to the phone. There seemed to be no particular problem. At least for now.​

​“I’ll be checking the contents for a while, so let me know immediately if anything goes wrong. Keep the CCTV circuit running as it is. Block it gradually, not all at once. That’s their usual method.”

“Yes, understood.”

​Lieutenant Park, pressing his eye with his thumb and index finger, abruptly shook his head and opened the latest messages.​

​Lee Sehwa’s phone was simple. It was probably only used for communication purposes, but it was an old piece of junk that didn’t have any proper functions. The saved numbers were only House staff, drug dealers, and regular customers. At least there wasn’t a phone number for a restaurant he often ordered from. Despite being a House player, Sehwa didn’t play games.

​It was so clean that at first, ​Lieutenant Park suspected Sehwa was a spy sent from somewhere. A drug distributor who joined hands with ​Lieutenant Kim. It was a topic that Ki Tae-jeong could not ignore and a great bait that he knew he would fall for. Fortunately, Lee Sehwa’s range of action was not wide, so he relaxed a little after looking at everything Sehwa had done so far… Still, Lieutenant Park felt uncomfortable with Lee Sehwa.​

​Ki Tae-jeong seemed to be interested in Lee Sehwa’s blunt personality, despite his outward look. Lieutenant Park’s superior slept with anyone when his blood boiled and his dick hardened, and there were several entertainers with outstanding looks among them. However, they were ultimately just one-night stands. Lee Sehwa was the first person Ki Tae-jeong showed such interest in and had a long-term sexual relationship with.​

Ki Tae-jeong even treated Lee Sehwa well. While Sehwa might have felt unfairly treated when he heard this, Ki Tae-jeong was the type of person who, rather than applying ointment to a person who was struggling, had a personality to completely tear the hole and use blood as lubricant. Moreover, Lee Sehwa had never had a broken arm or leg during sex. If Ki Tae-jeong hadn’t said that he was going to have a miscarriage and dispose of him as soon as the trial was over, Lieutenant Park would have wondered if Ki Tae-jeong had finally found someone he cared about.

However, if Ki Tae-jeong just regarded Lee Sehwa as a necessary partner… Lieutenant Park thought Lee Sehwa’s personality, which Ki Tae-jeong liked, was extremely dangerous.​

While he brought a camouflage doll to the official residence and was searching around with Ki Tae-jeong, his scary boss would sometimes look at his cell phone and laugh out loud. He said he was looking at the CCTV installed in the House’s office. Since he didn’t show the video, Lieutenant Park could only guess from Ki Tae-jeong’s explanation, but Sehwa apparently liked it when given a toy. Despite being treated harshly by Ki Tae-jeong and was locked up naked, not even allowed to wear a single piece of clothing.​

​It was like that just yesterday. Didn’t Ki Tae-jeong say that even though Sehwa was pushed to the point of exhaustion, he cried and laughed when he was fed with some cake? If he had that kind of temperament, wouldn’t he easily give in if someone other than Ki Tae-jeong offered him any encouragement? He knew quite a bit about internal affairs, had the ability to distinguish between drugs without becoming addicted, and was now even capable of getting pregnant due to Lieutenant Kim’s mischief… a naive beauty who doesn’t understand the ways of the world. It was obvious that if those who wanted to defeat Ki Tae-jeong found out about Lee Sehwa’s existence, they would try to appease him in some way.​

Lieutenant Park felt compelled to advise his superior as it was his duty as a subordinate. Quickly get Lee Sehwa pregnant and get rid of him.​

​Sehwa also needed to be aware of his own situation. Whenever Ki Tae-jeong mentioned pregnancy, he seemed to think of it just to the extent that the lunatic got aroused.

​“… What is this?”​

Lieutenant Park frowned as he sighed and tried to read the message. It wasn’t a saved number, but the sender was definitely Kim Seok-cheol. The talk seemed to be about that. However, the contents…

​[Yesterday, I received a call from Boss Son about what happened. He said he didn’t get the commission from you~~ or something like that. I’m not sure, but it looks like there’s some trouble with money, right?]

​[I’ve already told you roughly how big my family is, so you know well, but lending a bit of money isn’t difficult for me~^^ Let’s meet and talk]​

[However, I hope that our relationship will change a little through this incident. I’ve wanted to say this several times before… but it seems like you feel burdened, so I hesitated… Just giving this amount of money outright is awkward. But saying things like sponsorship doesn’t suit us, right?^^ Still, something needs to be decisively decided, so I can also make a request to the elders at home. Do you understand what I mean?]​

​[But this wasn’t just my thought, right?^^ I had a feeling that you might have the same emotions when I saw you smile every time you look at me^^…]​

​“What is this lunatic doing…”​

This bastard ​Kim Seok-cheol wasn’t just a drug addict. He didn’t know shame and was fooling around with someone half his age. At the same time, Lieutenant Park was disgusted that he couldn’t even say that he would give Sehwa all the money and instead made excuses about his family.​

​“Then should he cry instead of smiling when meeting the customer? Crazy bastard.”

Lieutenant Park clicked his tongue and turned on his cell phone. He had received an order from Ki Tae-jeong quite some time ago. If Kim Seok-cheol sent a message to Lee Sehwa’s cloned phone, send this content immediately exactly as it was, without missing a single word.

[I don’t want to contact you anymore, old man. A handsome new customer told me to only do business with him.]

Ki Tae-jeong probably did not foresee such a circumstance when issuing the instructions. However, given the circumstances, it appeared like he had unintentionally poured oil on the burning house.

“Lieutenant Park!”

Sergeant Choi’s anxious voice brought Lieutenant Park back to reality as he clicked his tongue. As soon as the message was sent, the cloned phone rang loudly, but this was beyond Lieutenant Park’s jurisdiction. Above all…

​“There seems to be an error in the system!”​

​The movement of the firewall, which dropped one by one like stacked blocks, was unusual. It skipped the original order and the ceiling was shaking from a distant place. It was close to where Ki Tae-jeong and Lee Sehwa were.​

​***​

​Sehwa knew that Ki Tae-jeong was fast since he killed all the soldiers at the entrance. Even when Ki Tae-jeong had left Sehwa behind earlier, running all the way to the front and back to save him, it was amazing how a person could move at such speed. Now that he saw it, he realized that he had been just walking leisurely until now.

As warned in advance, Ki Tae-jeong did not carefully support Sehwa. As if it were physical training, he just hung Sehwa loosely and ran along. It was Sehwa’s first time being carried, so he winced a bit as Ki Tae-jeong leaned down and offered his back. The inside of his stomach was tingling and itching.​

However, when moving a big distance in a short period of time… Sehwa felt as if he had become a sandbag for training himself. How could he move so fast? Were all soldiers like this? At least Lieutenant Kim definitely wasn’t. Ki Tae-jeong’s movements, which far exceeded the limits of the body, were somewhat creepy.​

​Anyway, thanks to his incredible speed, they made it to the targeted Area 9 with plenty of time to spare. The sound of the firewall falling from the ceiling could still be heard far away.​

​When he safely secured the fifth syringe filled with the drug and looked up, Sehwa saw Ki Tae-jeong also seemed to have gotten what he wanted. As he said, it looked like a black ball packed in a transparent box. Maybe because they talked about toys earlier, it looked like a toy. Even though what was inside was a terrifying bomb.​

​“Um, Director…”​

“Are you done?”

“Yes. I added one more just in case.”

Now all they had to do was wait for the firewall to drop down to this point. If Ki Tae-jeong threw the bomb called Z2 or something into that gap… In fact, Sehwa still didn’t understand what he was going to do or how, but anyway, if he did that, they could leave.

Ki Tae-jeong flicked his hand. He was so intently staring at a shelf somewhere that he didn’t even look in this direction. Sehwa walked cautiously. When he was carried on Ki Tae-jeong’s back earlier and ran, he ended up losing the other shoe as well. Of course, Ki Tae-jeong was the type of person who wouldn’t care at all whether Sehwa was barefoot or his soles were torn. So if he did not want to be scolded, he had to work diligently.​

Sehwa crumpled the hem of his big shirt and looked at the man he had used as a guidepost. Actually… it was a bit disappointing. Even though he acted rough during sex, he always made sure there were no injuries afterward. But it seemed that such consideration only applied when their bodies were intertwined.
