TTD Ch 51

Il-hyun stared at the picture that Ja-kyung drew on the paper. He was drawing on paper where he would stand and where Lee Ja-kyung would shoot on the day of the shooting, and he burst out laughing when he remembered that he lied about being an art major due to his poor painting skills.

Since Ja-kyung had toured the building in advance, he gave Kang Il-hyun exactly where he should stand.

“I see you from here. I’ll shoot you right away when the director comes out to the side of the podium to give your closing speech.”

He drew Kang Il-hyun on the other side of the building, and all he had to do was draw his arms, legs, and his head, but his eyes were unusually sharp and ferocious. Il-hyun was dissatisfied with the drawing. Paintings also reveal people’s unconscious thoughts, but in Ja-unconscious thought, he had such an ugly and wretched face. He felt betrayed because he was so nice to him.

The bullet flew at a high speed and will hit Kang Il-hyun’s left chest. Kang Il-hyun sat on the other side, staring at Lee Ja-kyung’s face as he worked hard to explain the picture. Later, Ja-kyung noticed and tapped the paper with his hand.

“Concentrate. Are you listening?”

“Continue.”

“You know, vests block bullets but do not stop the impact. Your ribs or intestines may be injured if you are unlucky. According to the director’s body, it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen.”

“Of course. There is nothing wrong with my body.”

While saying that, he raised his chin and stretched his shoulders wider. Ja-kyung deliberately pretended not to see.

“Anyway, you have to deal with that.”

Il-hyun continued to stare at Ja-kyung’s face. He thought only his eyes were pretty, but the closer he looked, the thicker his lips became.

“You can’t make any claim for damage compensation from me.”

Il-hyun laughed out loud when he heard him say it softly.

“Do I seem to be that petty?”

“Yes.”

When Ja-kyung answered without hesitation, Il-hyun looked at him with a sad face.

“What’s wrong with you. Do you want to see what being petty really is?”

“Enough of that. Anyway, that’s my job. The director should handle the rest. If you are concerned, you can form a separate medical team.”

Il-hyun laughed.

“Don’t worry about that. Because I believe in you.”

Ja-kyung’s eyes fluttered slightly. Il-hyun took Ja-kyung’s hand and placed it on his chest.

“You’re going to shoot properly. Here.”

This time, Ja-kyung moved his hand a little further to the right. The heart is here. Thump, thump, thump, his heartbeat was transmitted through his palm. He quickly took his hand off because it felt like it was moving on his body, but Il-hyun grabbed it and placed it on his dick this time.

“But I guess my heart is in my dick.”

“…”

“How’s it, is it beating?”

Ja-kyung wriggled his hand and was disgusted as Il-hyun’s dick visibly grew bigger, he then slapped his hand. Ah. Il-hyun frowned while smiling, then took Ja-kyung’s fountain pen. Ja-kyung had no idea why, but when he saw it, Il-hyun drew his shoulders a little wider. He did this to make himself look good.

Ja-kyung burst out laughing. It appeared that the house chef’s claim that there was nothing that couldn’t be done was true. It was a crude drawing, but it seemed plausible. Then, this time, he drew big alien eyes on Ja-kyung’s face. He scribbled the first three letters of Lee Ja-kyung’s name next to his face. The letters were perfectly straight as if printed.

He even drew a heart next to his name, so Ja-kyung frowned and took the paper in a hurry. He was annoyed, but his neck and cheeks were a little hot.

Kang Il-hyun turned the fountain pen between his fingers while looking at him, his chin resting on the other hand.

“You look like a teenage boy. Getting shy because of the heart.”

“Don’t you think I’m creeped out and pissed off?”

“Not at all.”

Il-hyun smiled slyly and flicked his fingers.

Come here.

“Why?”

“I won’t be able to see you in two days, so I want to kiss you goodbye.”

“I don’t want to.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Il-hyun got up from his chair and moved his upper body forward while placing his hands on the table. Ja-kyung tried to run away, but he was one step too late. His lips were lightly touched and the back of his head was gripped. Il-hyun then sucked his lips and pushed his tongue in.

His tongue was tangled, and his breathing was becoming increasingly hard. Il-hyun reached out his hand and began unbuttoning Ja-kyung’s shirt. Ja-kyung also didn’t do much of a deterrent. Then there was a knock, and they both stopped. Their lips parted, and Il-hyun turned to face the door with a dissatisfied expression.

“Director are you here?”

It was Park Tae-soo’s voice. Il-hyun sighed and looked down at Ja-kyung, who had his head bowed. It was lovely to see the tip of his ears turn red as he tried to hide the paper, making him smile without realizing it.

He felt a terrible pain in his left thigh. Il-hyun lowered his head to look at his legs. Blood gushed from his thighs. This time, a shot was fired in his right thigh, causing his body to fall back and the back of his head to hit the ground.

People gathered around him and Kang Yoo-jung’s pale expression came into view.  She called Park Tae-soo as she pressed her hand against his thigh. His breathing became more difficult, and his consciousness became hazy. The screams, shouts, and screeching of people deafened him.

His body suddenly lifted up. His eyelids were heavy, and blood was draining from his body. He then felt a chill from somewhere. His head tilted to the side, revealing the faces of his family members in front of him. Kim Seon-young, Kang Tae-han, Kang Seok-joo. Everyone appeared flustered, but only Chairman Kang’s expression remained calm. No, he seemed to be smiling.

Il-hyun glared at Chairman Kang, and then pulled the corners of his lips crookedly and smiled.

It’s still too early to be happy. Old man.

Even if he dies and goes to hell, he will definitely come to pick him up.

So wait.

His vision becomes increasingly blurred as he grits his teeth. Lee Ja-kyung’s face flashed through my mind. He looks cute. He slapped him on the back of the head with that cute face. His eyelids dropped, his vision became completely closed, and the loud noises faded away.

Everything was dark, and his consciousness had sunk to the bottom.

*** 

The warehouse was full of unused items.  It used to be a factory run by Wang Lun’s acquaintance, but it is now closed. Outsiders could not enter without permission,  so it was perfect for hiding for the time being.

Kang Il-hyun’s men had already set up camp near the port. He received a call from an acquaintance, and it appears that Il-hyun seemed to have swept the neighborhood with a picture of Lee Ja-kyung.

They must stay here for a few days to monitor their movements before boarding a fishing boat and changing to a smuggling ship while their surveillance is flawed. Wang Lun also goes to the place where Wang Han is with Ja-kyung. Wang Han organized everything in Thailand before moving to Russia.

Ja-kyung took several pills with water at the same time. Wang Lun sat in a chair next to him, preparing to sew the wound on Ja-kyung’s forearm with a medical needle and thread. Wang Lun was good at making things with his hands, which could explain why he was the best at stitching wounds of the three.

While he disinfected the needle and sewed up the gaping flesh, Ja-kyung clenched his teeth and endured it without a single groan. A cold sweat was forming on his forehead and blood vessels were visible on his neck. Seeing this, Wang Lun shook his head.

“Persistent, you’re so persistent. You aren’t even making a sound.”

[Don’t be expensive, hmm? Let me hear your voice.]

Why did he think of Kang Il-hyun at that moment? Ja-kyung clenched his teeth and tried not to think about him anymore. If Ja-kyung hadn’t shot Il-hyun, he would have been the one to die. Il-hyun would live because he didn’t hit his head. Il-hyun said no, but he was aware that he would be deploying a medical team.

“Take off your clothes. I’ll make sure if you’re injured somewhere else.”

Ja-kyung, who was about to take off his clothes, stopped. The countless marks made by Kang Il-hyun’s lips would still be visible. While Ja-kyung hesitates, Wang Lun lifts the back of his shirt and his eyes widen. He returned his gaze to Ja-kyung after noticing several marks that weren’t even bruised.

“Huh?”

Ja-kyung hurriedly put down her shirt and smiled.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“I have lived 8 years longer than you. Do you think I wouldn’t know just by looking at it?”

“I said it’s not like that.”

“Your skill is great. How did you meet a girl there?”

Ja-kyung sighed and kept his mouth shut. It was not a woman. He will be teased until he dies if the Wang brothers find out. It was said that Lee Ja-kyung came back after being devoured by a man.

“It must be a very hot girl.”

As Wang Lun tried to check again, Ja-kyung quickly got up and ran away. Wang Lun laughed as he organized the medicine. Ja-kyung, who was sitting in front of the window, was staring out the window and had stopped speaking. Wang Lun was unfamiliar with this appearance.

Ja-kyung usually looked refreshed when he finished work, but this time was different. He looked like he had left something behind.

“What are you thinking about?”

Ja-kyung smiled bitterly. 

“I thought that I should not act next time.” 

Wang Lun agreed and nodded his head. 

“It’s a wise decision.” 

In any case, he never imagined Ja-kyung to be such a performer.  

Wang Lun, who was speaking, stated that he would sleep first and lie down on the bed. Ja-kyung left him and went outside for a while, pulling out a cigarette. The car next to them was covered by an awning, and the entrance was tightly shut, so CCTV and alarms were activated 24 hours a day. He looked up at the sky, which was filled with dark clouds. It seemed to be raining.

He lit a fire and smelled the smoke while rubbing his face. The pain in the arm subsided as the daily dose took effect. He raised his eyes to the sky and heard a rustling sound next to him. He immediately reached into his arms and touched the gun, but two eyes flashed in the darkness.

Next to the drum, a small kitten came out. It appeared to have just been born, but it walked out. Ja-kyung went to see it, but a black mother cat walked out from behind it and looked at him with cautious eyes.

Ja-kyung stopped. The mother exposes its teeth and makes a mandibular sound. Ja-kyung took a step back and smiled. Then, not long after biting the baby, it disappeared somewhere. Ja-kyung entered the warehouse and locked the door after rubbing the cigarette on the ground.

Wang Lun’s snoring could be heard. Ja-kyung envied his character’s ability to sleep comfortably in any situation. He fell asleep on the old sofa. Fortunately, he appeared to be able to sleep comfortably today as a result of the medicinal effect.

However, as soon as he fell asleep, the evil employer’s face appeared and haunted him. He awoke several times from sleep, and as a result, he had to face the dawn.
