“Uh… W-what’s this? Damn it…”
The bleached-haired man’s face went pale as he pulled out a military knife from his pocket.
“Come here, you bastard! You’re in for it!”
Do-hwa was shocked. It felt like a bolt from the blue, sending shivers down his spine. He was afraid Min-jun might get hurt. So, Do-hwa grabbed Min-jun’s arm, reaching out to escape. And then…
“Kchaaak!”
A piercing scream echoed. Min-jun swiftly snapped the man’s wrist holding the knife and disarmed him. What followed was straight out of a horror movie. Min-jun stabbed and slashed at the men’s vital spots with the knife. Blood sprayed, and agonizing groans exploded in the air. Yet Min-jun was smooth and ruthless, without a hint of hesitation. In less than a minute, the men were drenched in blood and collapsed to the floor. What was even more terrifying was that not a drop of blood splattered on Min-jun’s body.
“Ah, this is fun.”
He smirked. He had committed a monstrous act. At that moment, Do-hwa felt chills running down his spine. How could laughter come out here? Moreover, this was a playground in the middle of a busy downtown area. A knife fights here? Is everyone crazy? Do-hwa looked around, wondering if anyone saw. It was mostly quiet, but men in suits poured into the playground. Do-hwa panicked, thinking they might be the police. Was it now that they would find out who Min-jun really was?
“Huh?”
However, upon closer inspection, the faces looked somewhat familiar. They were foreigners in suits whom Do-hwa had seen at the factory where Koo Jong-pil worked yesterday. They politely bowed to Min-jun.
“Please leave. We’ll take care of it.”

He seemed calm, treating the gruesome act as if it were just a minor mistake in ordering from a menu.
Do-hwa momentarily forgot about Min-jun’s brutality under the pressure of the men’s presence. He remembered how Min-jun turned Koo Jong-pil into a lifeless body with just a chair. Insane. Why would anyone ask to be associated with someone like this? It should be the other way around, where he should be the one groveling.
“Then, from now on, I’ll properly serve as seonbae. Count on me.”
“What?”
“You asked me to be your attendant earlier, didn’t you?”
“No… No, it’s okay.”
“I’m fine with it, so why are you changing your mind? Huh?”
Min-jun warmly pulled Do-hwa into an embrace. Thanks to him, Do-hwa could see the bloody men being carried away over his shoulder. They were all slumped over, completely defeated. Sure, those men had picked a fight with Do-hwa and initially threatened Min-jun with a weapon. But Do-hwa didn’t wish for them to become piles of flesh. They couldn’t be really dead, could they? A shiver ran down his spine.
“Do you dislike being called ‘seonbae’?”
“No… Do as you wish…”
If Do-hwa didn’t allow Min-jun to do anything, it seemed like trouble would ensue. Indeed, Cha Min-jun was scary. He was terrifying, but…
“Seonbae, can you open your mouth for a moment?”
“Why?”
“Why? I just want to stick out my tongue.”
Min-jun kissed Do-hwa’s lips and then slipped his tongue in. It was warm and pleasantly thick. Min-jun had his eyes closed by now, fully engrossed in sucking on Do-hwa’s lips. Thanks to him, a heavy heat rose in Do-hwa’s lower abdomen. It was honestly sweet and delicious. The physical stimulation caused a huge shock, following the mental confusion.
Once again, the now-tidy playground came into view over Min-jun’s shoulder. The men being carried away were now loaded into a sedan brought by the foreign men, and all the blood stains on the ground had disappeared. The situation that had unfolded just a few minutes ago felt like a distant dream.
At the same time, Do-hwa had a gut feeling. If he appeared in Min-jun’s eyes, he would disappear from the world, just like those men. It felt even more inevitable now, given the precarious situation with his family. Above all, this guy seemed to know all of Do-hwa’s lies but pretended not to. It was truly terrifying. Do-hwa’s whole body stiffened, and he began to tremble.
Min-jun’s eyelids gradually and gently lifted, which had been tightly shut. Then his tongue withdrew, which had been firmly pressed, and his lips parted. He scanned Do-hwa’s face with a worried expression.
“Seonbae, why are you trembling like this? Those guys are taken care of now, so calm down.”
Min-jun gently pulled Do-hwa into an embrace and caressed the back of his head. His touch felt affectionate, yet strangely cold.
“I’m fine…”
Nothing was fine at all, but Do-hwa forced himself to reply. He thought there was no point in showing his fear. Besides, he didn’t know what outrageous thing this guy might do to soothe him.
Thinking about figuring out the terrifying guy’s intentions ahead made Do-hwa feel overwhelmed. And even if he did find out, could he really find a proper way to escape from him? It was daunting—too daunting.
“Wisp.”
The foreigner who had been talking to Min-jun a moment ago approached. Min-jun turned his head towards the man, who had been facing Do-hwa.
“Seonbae, excuse me for a moment.”
Min-jun released his arm around Do-hwa, as he was aware of the newcomer, and distanced himself. They began to converse at the entrance of the playground. Suddenly, Do-hwa wondered if he could find clues about Min-jun’s identity by listening to their conversation. He strained his ears but couldn’t hear well.
Do-hwa was pondering as he bent down and crawled on all fours. He slipped into a flower bed with some awkward branches, worried that Min-jun might notice, and stealthily moved closer. He eventually reached the entrance and could catch snippets of their conversation.
“I saw the news about the Louis Family earlier. Our story was mentioned. How did it get exposed?”
“We’re also investigating the circumstances. The article will be taken down soon.”
Just bail dudeee leaveeee
