TTD 145

When Il-hyun gestured to hurry up, the man looked up while trembling.

“If-if I do as told… will you… let me go?”

“If you do well. But if you fail, I’ll cut off your limbs here and make you crawl home. Understood?”

The man nodded vigorously with a pale face and pressed the call button. After a moment, the call connected, and when he turned on the speaker, Ja-kyung’s voice came through.

[Who is this?]

The man took a deep breath and spoke in a rather composed tone.

“I’ve kidnapped CEO Kang. If you don’t come within 30 minutes, I’ll kill him, you understand!”

[What? CEO Kang kidnapped who?]

Confusion spread across the man’s face. Il-hyun signaled him to continue, and the man immersed himself in the act.

“Damn it, I said I kidnapped CEO Kang! If you don’t come right now, I’ll kill this bastard, got it!”

[Look, calm down. Who did CEO Kang kidnap?]

“No, I! I did it! Do you have a dick stuck in your ear? Why can’t you understand what I’m saying! I kidnapped CEO Kang!”

After a moment of silence, Ja-kyung’s voice came through.

[Are you… okay?]

The genuinely concerned tone made the man slightly flustered.

“What?”

[No, I mean, are you still alive?]

At Ja-kyung’s words, the man looked at Il-hyun with eyes full of fear. He struggled desperately to survive.

“It’s real! I have him here! Want to hear his voice?”

The man respectfully held the phone up to Il-hyun with both hands, and Il-hyun said in a small voice with a brazen expression, “Honey, save me.” Silence. Looking at the phone, the call had already ended. When Il-hyun’s expression turned menacing, the man knelt and pleaded.

“I’ll call again. I’ll do it properly this time! Please give me one more chance.”

Without a word, Il-hyun threw the man’s phone far out onto the road. As he got back in the car, the man abandoned his companions and fled like an arrow. Tae-soo, behind the wheel, glanced in the rearview mirror.

“If you were really in danger, he would have come.”

Il-hyun sometimes thought about it. Maybe his relationship with Ja-kyung was still just that of a dog and its owner. Ja-kyung had many precious people, and sometimes Il-hyun felt like he was being pushed down the priority list.

What if someday he gets pushed out completely?

Suddenly feeling bitter, he opened the door, stepped out, and lit a cigarette. On the ground, the guys who had just been beaten were still crawling around, not having regained their senses.

Floating in the swimming pool, the sky came into view. Looking at the heavy clouds, it seemed like rain was coming. Though news said the typhoon had passed to a neighboring country, the wind was still quite strong. As he lay there, Il-hyun appeared before him. Ja-kyung swam closer to him.

“You’re here?”

“Have you been up all this time?”

“I slept during the day, so I couldn’t fall asleep.”

Ja-kyung gripped the pool edge and climbed up. As water trickled down, Il-hyun brought over a robe left nearby and helped him put it on. While drinking the remaining juice, Ja-kyung handed Il-hyun a watermelon slice.

“You know about that prank call earlier? Some crazy person saying they kidnapped you and telling me to come?”

Ja-kyung laughed, still finding it absurd. These days spam calls seem to come like this a lot. I’ve heard of calls asking for ransom money saying someone was kidnapped, but this is the first time they asked me to come rescue someone. Someone even imitated your voice. It was pretty similar, so it was funny.

Il-hyun put the watermelon back down and smiled bitterly.

“Honey. I was really kidnapped. I almost died at the hands of some vicious guy.”

When Ja-kyung showed a disbelieving expression, Il-hyun came close and wrapped his arms around his waist.

“But you didn’t come to save me, do you know how scared I was when that guy threatened me?”

“You’re joking…right?”

“Ask Tae-soo. I was dizzy when several of them attacked. They surrounded our car and threatened us with blue knives.”

Ja-kyung frowned while looking Il-hyun up and down. When he asked if it was true, Il-hyun nodded. Judging by his expression, it wasn’t a joke. Well, he’d only ever seen Il-hyun kidnapping others, never imagined he could be kidnapped himself.

“But you’re good at fighting.”

“No one can win against a group attack.”

“You look fine though.”

“I barely escaped. But I still haven’t calmed down. Want to feel?”

He placed Ja-kyung’s hand on his chest, but it was hard to tell. Having dismissed the call as a prank immediately, he felt a bit sorry now hearing it was real.

“I’m sorry…. Next time something like this happens, I’ll come running right away.”

“Really?”

“Of course. If you’re in danger, I should save you.”

Il-hyun hugged Ja-kyung with a satisfied expression. Ja-kyung patted his back in response. You must have been really scared, let’s go inside so you can wash up and rest. Or do you want to take that calming medicine or something?

“I’m fine. Holding you makes me feel better.”

“Oh right, I have something to ask, is that okay?”

“What is it?”

“From tomorrow, could I stay at Tae-ho hyung’s house for a while?”

Il-hyun’s smiling face hardened, and his eyes turned sharp.

“Why.”

“He’s with that lawyer, and I’m worried about leaving them alone. Since he’s an important witness, it could be dangerous if they find out.”

“Tell them to come stay here. That works, right?”

Ja-kyung just smiled awkwardly without answering. Jang Tae-ho still disliked Il-hyun, so he would obviously refuse if asked to stay here.

“It’ll just be a few days. I met the chief prosecutor today and they said they’ll lift his suspension right away.”

However, Il-hyun’s expression wasn’t improving at all.

“So you’re telling me to stay lonely by myself?”

“Please understand. We don’t have a choice in this situation…”

Il-hyun sighed and reluctantly nodded. He reached out his hand to go inside, but then sat on the sunbed and gestured to come over. Curious about what he was doing, Ja-kyung saw him undoing his pants and lowering the zipper. Seeing this, Ja-kyung frowned.

“What-what are you doing?”

“Sit on my lap.”

Ja-kyung shook his head. When he asked if he was crazy, Il-hyun smiled mischievously and pulled his hand. His body was suddenly pulled over and he sat facing forward on Il-hyun’s lap. When hands entered under the robe trying to pull down his swimsuit, he hurriedly grabbed them and looked back. The house lights were off and no security guards were visible. There should be people patrolling at this hour, but it was quiet.

“Did you… deliberately send everyone away?”

Il-hyun proceeded to remove his wet swimsuit.  As Ja-kyung fastened the front of his robe, Il-hyun’s hand reached inside and fondled his chest. Then, his erect cock pressed against Ja-kyung’s buttocks, and Ja-kyung kept shrinking his body, worried someone might see.

“Let’s do it inside.”

“Don’t worry. No one will see, and even if they do, they’ll just think you’re sitting on my lap.”

“No, but still…”

Il-hyun’s hand went down and grasped his cock, stroking it up and down. “Lift your ass.”  Ja-kyung obeyed, and Il-hyun’s cock touched his hole. He tried to insert it, but it was tight and wouldn’t go in easily. Kang Il-hyun’s breathing grew heavy.  “Damn it.”

Il-hyun wet his finger with saliva and inserted it into the hole, wriggling it around. The squelching sound mixed with the chirping of crickets, and Ja-kyung struggled, unsure what to do with his legs as sensation surged from his toes. His finger slipped out, and then the cock, widening the hole as it entered.

“Mmm…”

Ja-kyung bit his lip to suppress his moan, but while still inside, Kang Il-hyun pulled him back tightly by the waist. The penetration deepened, and Ja-kyung could no longer bear it.

“It’s too deep…”

“I know. I can feel you getting excited.”

Without being told, Ja-kyung began to move his hips slightly, rubbing his buttocks against Il-hyun.  A stranger would think they were having a tender conversation; they wouldn’t imagine the connection below. This amplified the excitement, and Ja-kyung writhed, searching for his pleasure point.

“Haah…!”

Kang Il-hyun pulled down the shoulder of Ja-kyung’s robe, licking and biting the tattooed wing on his back with his tongue and teeth. He focused particularly on the snake’s head, still intending to change it to a cat someday.

“Sir… CEO…”

He moaned and turned his head, and Il-hyun devoured his lips. Then, he put his hand inside Ja-kyung’s legs, spreading them slightly and lifting them. As he thrust his hips, Ja-kyung cried out and grabbed Il-hyun’s thigh.

Saliva flowed from their joined lips, and the speed of their movements gradually increased. The careful and secretive sex gave him a different pleasure than when they had sex indoors.

Ja-kyung threw his head back, resting his head on Il-hyun’s shoulder, breathing heavily. A full moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds. He felt a blush of shame, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
