The smell exuded by the man – it couldn’t be compared to the smell of deodorants but it was akin to the heavy smell given off by men. It was a pleasant smell that urged Yigyeom to smell more. Was it perfume? There was more of a chance of being one since Yigyeom couldn’t smell pheromones.
“I am the resident of that red container.”
It felt strange because he spoke to Yigyeom so casually that it was a bit scary. He was tall and had an intimidating figure, and if he were to threaten Yigyeom; without a hitch, even if he approached Yigeyom a little, his lips would clamp shut and he wouldn’t be able to move at all.
“Do excuse me.”
How could someone barge into someone else’s house…Yigyeom was leaning against the door of the cleaning room and was engrossed in the thoughts of the man who claimed himself to be the Chief. His tall stature combined with his figure made him look really handsome.
He was scary but even in that situation Yigyeom’s eyes naturally followed him. He had a face that even made Yigyeom think that he was handsome. He had never seen someone as handsome as him.
“…”
Yet again, he was rude, wayward and sounded absurd. No matter how weird he was, whenever that Chief came close to Yigeyom, he felt chills run down his spine.
Since it was a feeling Yigyeom never felt before, the sensation still lingered in his system. It was a little warm yet cool, and as his fingers twitched, he couldn’t take his eyes off him. And…
“…”
When the Chief left, Yigyeom found his underwear to be wet. Yigyeom didn’t realize when it happened, but it was definitely because of that man. His face felt hot and he felt chilly as well while his lower stomach felt out of sorts, it was most probably then.
Why was it like that? Was it because Yigyeom felt pressured? Or was it because he was an alpha? No, it couldn’t be…because Yigyeom couldn’t react to Alpha’s pheromones. Even when he was with an Alpha, he couldn’t smell their pheromones. Yigyeom rubbed his fingers together, the ones that tingled that morning.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.”
You are not sorry one bit. Liar…Bully…Thug.
“…”
He must have been the new thug-like service Chief, because he said he was here because of the redevelopment work. Until last year, there was another service manager who wore a suit and went around the slum with an iron pipe in his head. He was similar to that person.
They looked very different but their suits were similar. Also, it was the same that they knew something about me even though Yigyeom never met them before.

What would he do if he saw Yigyeom later? Curse at him to his face? Or would he hit him…?
“…”
He was so much taller and his body seemed to carry some weight too. If he were to get hit by that person, he might really die. Just thinking about it made Yigyeom cringe, as he shook his head and gained his composure once he heard the front door of the cafe opening.
Yigyeom stood in front of the customers who were standing ignorant of the counter, scanning the menu. He shook his head as if he tried to shake off the thoughts about the Chief. He wasn’t a genuine person and it wouldn’t do him any good if he continued thinking about him.
But towards that threatening, thug-like Chief, his concerns didn’t recede easily. Like the tingle I felt and my wet underwear, those unpleasant feelings lingered for a long time.
***
The stay at the redevelopment area was more boring than Taejung thought. Of course, it wasn’t a real vacation spot; it wasn’t an official vacation that was granted to be spent at home. It was a given that it wouldn’t be fun. However, Kwon Taejung was too bored every single day.
Kwon Taejung’s recent routine was to wake up late and workout. He would then head out for the slum and kill some time, before returning home.
Since he was in the middle of self-reflection, it was difficult to meet someone over drinks. He also couldn’t stick to his older siblings for fun. The days were hence even more uneventful and monotonous than usual.
But the most important reason for this staleness was that Yigyeom, whom he was supposed to keep a watch over, was busy. If he talked with Yigyeom or teased him, time would have gone more quickly. But let alone that, he couldn’t even catch a strand of Yigyeom’s hair.
Fuck, Yigyeom should at least show his face or something once in a while. If things continued as is, he wouldn’t be able to see him once in those 3 months. Kwon Taejung who was sitting on the sofa with his legs resting over the table. He picked up the phone which vibrated beside his legs. There was a message from Secretary Baek.
[ Baek Jinwoo: Absolutely don’t come out]
Kwon Taejung knew what Secretary Baek suddenly wanted to say because earlier he had only gone out to receive something from the union leader. Kwon Taejung stood up from the sofa and sneakily approached the door. He opened the door slightly and glanced outside from the gap. He saw Secretary Baek standing not far from the container.
Beside him was an unfamiliar man. Was it because of that man that he told me not to come out at any cost? Who the hell was that? After watching the two talk for a while, Kwon Taejung closed the door.
After 5 minutes, Secretary Baek came and opened the door. Kwon Taejung tilted his head curiously and looked at Secretary Baek, who wore a serious expression.
“Who was it?”
“The reporter from the broadcasting company.”
“Ah, fuck. They really want to do a follow-up broadcast, huh? So, what did he say?”
“They asked me if I was a resident here and if they ended up doing the broadcast they would interview me. So they told me to cooperate. I told them I was not a resident so they asked me if I was from the union or Taesung Group.”
Kwon Taejung leaned against the sofa as if he was tired as he relieved a long sigh. Those guys from the broadcasting team never left him or the Taesung Group alone.
“I told them that I’m here to visit someone I know here… but I don’t think we can continue like this. The fact that even the field team came here means they would do their work diligently.”
“Ah, shit. So, in the time I won’t be meeting Yigyeom, there is a chance they will meet him then.”
“Right.”
“If only I could lock him in and see him everyday and persuade him… But, what kind of part-time job is he working on so hard that I can’t even see his face? At this rate, I won’t be able to see him for the next 3 months.”
Secretary Baek dragged a chair and sat in front of Kwon Taejung, wearing a serious expression and as if he was deep in his thoughts, he exhaled gravely.
“I knew he was doing many part-time jobs but I didn’t know it was to this extent.”
Kwon Taejung, who was leaning against the sofa and had his legs propped up on the table, couldn’t endure it anymore and sprung from his seat, kicking the chair. Vacation, fuck! What kind of vacation is this?
By the time the broadcasting team were investigating and pushed their way through the rubble, simultaneously Kwon Taejung, listless, was sitting cooped up inside the container. It was not a vacation, it was torture. He didn’t want to stay still and wait for Yigyeom, hurting his own pride.
“I don’t have anything to do at home today so I should go and see his face for once.”
“Yigyeom’s?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you know when he will be back?”
“A person with lots of time should wait. Is there any other way? He will be here once he sees I am waiting.”
“How can that be?”
Secretary Baek examined Kwon Taejung with anxious eyes. After changing their workplace to the slum, Secretary Baek’s most important task was to watch Kwon Taejung, who would be surveillancing Yigyeom. As Kwon Taejung was keeping a watch on Yigyeom, Secretary Baek was also careful that he was not doing anything out of line.
“Jinwoo. I know I am not reliable but have you ever seen me have one accident after another? I won’t do something that would be newsworthy.”
“Still, you know when he will be back so why would you be waiting for him intentionally?”
Frustrated, Kwon Taejung tilted his head and looked at Secretary Baek with his most pissed-off face.
“So, should I just stay still? In that time, fuck! Those guys can film him a thousand times. Do you know what Yigyeom is up to outside? Can you be sure he isn’t out meeting the guys from the broadcasting station?”
“…No.”
“If I really have to stop him, I should be there with him all day. Should I hit and take him away so that he can’t meet the guys outside, huh? If he is out meeting them then after coming this far, are you saying that I should not seek him out intentionally?”
Secretary Baek was at a loss for words as he looked up at Kwon Taejung who quickly organized his thoughts and swiftly came to a decision. Kwon Taejung was a talented kid, but there was nothing he could do as he pleased or achieve what he wanted.
Secretary Baek forgot that he couldn’t use his skills for a while and remembered that he ignored Kwon Taejung and quickly apologized.
“You are right. So that the people from the broadcasting company cannot contact him, you should be by his side. Sorry. I didn’t think to that extent.”
“There is nothing to be sorry for and you should get off work. I have no intention to tire you too.”
“No. What are you going to do, spending the night by yourself?”
“Well, I will get dinner or something. Anyway, that kid will be back by night, right? Let’s go out. I’m hungry.”
Kwon Taejung got up from his seat and Secretary Baek, who was by the front door, swiftly opened it and scanned the surroundings. He investigated for a while if the guys from the broadcasting station, who were roaming the slum, were still there. Only after seeing no sign of them did he approve Kwon Taejung to step outside.
Kwon Taejung swung his arms over Secretary Baek’s shoulder and walked out of the container. He thought of eating dinner together with Secretary Baek before sending him home. Only then, could he have a frank conversation with that kid.
