Jeong Taeui checked the drawers, wardrobe and desk. However, it was not completely cleaned, so there were still a few clothes, books, and small items left. It seems that the empty closet without a speck of dust was the one previously used by the deceased.

Either way, that person will not return. But you can’t arbitrarily touch places that already have owners. Jeong Taeui carefully looked around the room. He had left his luggage behind with the other group, so there was nothing to organize, nor was there anything important that needed to be kept carefully. Anyway, my uncle kept insisting to me that he was in a hurry and didn’t have time, and I didn’t bring anything with me except what I needed in the next half a year. It was said that everything from clothes, uniforms, even underwear to toothbrushes were given to each person here, so he didn’t bring anything.

The most important thing in that bag is……. The key, right? The key thrown into his bag…… was the key that he needed half a year later. 

Before going out, he cleaned the house once more and left a simple message for his brother who didn’t know when he would return.

He wonders what Jaeui is doing now. But no matter what he does or where he is, Taeui doesn’t need to worry about him. Because even if his plane crashes, there’s nothing to worry about.

No matter where he is, as long as he wants, you will see him again. Because whatever he wants can be easily done.

Jeong Taeui walked to the neatly arranged bed and lay down.

His body was tired but the sleepiness didn’t last as long as he thought. The spirit is strangely alert.

In the near future, he will be here alone. Quiet and comfortable but there are also inconveniences for someone who has just come here for the first time. If you want to ask something small, you have to knock on someone else’s door.

Thinking of that, Jeong Taeui suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling and then slowly stood up.

He wouldn’t lock the door anyway, so he didn’t really need a room key. But there must still be rules of living here. He doesn’t know where to eat or what to do tomorrow morning.

Tou said there was someone named Xinlu. As for Kyoho, are those people from the logistics side?

Jeong Taeui scratched his head and stood up from the bed. It’s only been half a year but he feels like he is about to go through a thousand years.

It’s true that if you don’t strangle your uncle once, the discomfort in your heart won’t be relieved. So on the way up, he had to stop by his uncle’s room in the first basement to massage that face a bit before he was satisfied.

************************

Jeong Taeui clicked his tongue.

He didn’t think he could get lost in this building, even though this was his first time coming here. And even lost in a place that’s only as big as an elementary school playground.

All problems start from that elevator.

He knew clearly the location of the elevator Tou took him to. It’s an old-looking elevator located right at the corner of the stairs. Even though he passed by this place or that place a few times, he still couldn’t forget the road he passed that one time.

So, it would be better to go by that elevator, but that elevator is located far from Jeong Taeui’s room. He didn’t think he would leave the room and then go further just to take that elevator.

Because the structure of each floor in the building is relatively similar. Even if there are differences in layout, these types of buildings are remarkably similar in terms of architectural design.

So, Jeong Taeui thought he could just take the closer elevator and then go in the opposite direction from the original.

“Damned. What kind of design is this building? Doesn’t it look completely different from the floor below?”

This was the first time in his life he had seen a building with a completely different floor structure like this. It’s okay to have different hallways, even the location of the bathroom is different,……speechless. Isn’t such a design absurd and not useful at all? So what about the drainage system?

Within ten minutes of wandering around this floor, he found a few more elevators, but they weren’t the one he was looking for. That must be the elevator at the corner of the stairs.

No matter how strange the design of this building is, the elevator location on each floor cannot be different. If there is a building with such four-dimensional architecture, should you report it to the architectural association?

“Damned. Why is there no one here at all?”

Come to think of it, most of the people here are concentrated on the 5th or 6th floor, and normally, if nothing special happens, they won’t go to the first basement to do anything. But even so, Jeong Taeui couldn’t hold back a few curses when he set foot on this floor.

When he was in the army, he was very confident in his ability to read maps. No, without even needing a map, he had a pretty good sense of direction, never getting lost even when he had to carry his backpack on his back and cross a shortcut that was closer than the main road in the forest with a not very alert spirit when he did not sleep well the night before.

In this building, you can’t even have a map and can only rely entirely on feeling.

Uncle, you and everyone have worked really hard. How can you live in a building like this?

Jeong Taeui gritted his teeth and stopped, trying to estimate the position. He didn’t know the entire structure of this building and didn’t know what the inner wall had, but he slowly thought back to the distance he had traveled since entering this building……. Of course it’s still unclear. Then he can just wander around until he finds it.

Jeong Taeui sighed. Even though he knew it wasn’t a good way, he still moved forward aimlessly.

The hallway he was walking through seemed to be similar to the lower floor, and had identical doors symmetrical in a zigzag pattern with each other.

Perhaps these rooms, like the downstairs, are the living rooms of someone who has to stay here. Probably from the higher-ups in this building……. …… sometimes he has come to the right place without even realizing it.

Think about that for a moment. Jeong Taeui sighed when he saw a glass sliding door at the end of his vision.

 Not.

Just now Tou led him past the bathroom and it looked like this. Open the glass sliding door and go inside, there will be another frosted glass door, go further inside and turn to the dressing room, inside is the bathroom.

“But why do high-ranking litigants even use the same bathroom? Or that’s not the bathroom.”

Jeong Taeui stopped one step in front of that door.

Even though it wasn’t good, he was still a little curious. Time is not urgent, finding an uncle’s room is not a big problem. Just go down by any elevator on this floor to the 6th basement floor or go back to the ground and then find the same elevator as the one he got in at first.

“If we’re lost and have to go around everywhere like this, should we take a shower?”

Jeong Taeui opened the bathroom door while muttering desperately. As expected it was also a bathroom. When he opened the opaque door inside, a wall appeared as a partition like the one on the lower floor, inside it was a dressing room.

There’s a person in there. < Guess who >

As soon as Jeong Taeui opened the door and walked in, he seemed very surprised.

“Um…….ah…….. that.”

The person in front looked at him with wide eyes, he looked more like a boy than a grown man. And there can be no minors in this building. He was only wearing a pair of pants as if he had just finished showering, still holding a shirt in his hand. No, his hair wasn’t wet so he was probably planning to take a shower.

Jeong Taeui was motionless for a moment.

Oh, it seems you made some mistake. But there’s nothing worth calling a mistake, it’s just a chance encounter. But anyway, it seems like he made a mistake, so why does he need to apologize?

That thought flashed across his empty mind. But Jeong Taeui still couldn’t find any reason, because his smooth, pink, peach-like skin attracted all his attention. It’s so soft that if you touch it, the fluff will feel just as smooth. His body smelled faintly of soap, or was it the smell of milk?

At that moment, Jeong Taeui suddenly became confused. It seemed like he knew why he felt like he had made a mistake. But that reason wasn’t very reasonable either, he hadn’t even seen what was underneath that boy. Then why?

At that time, his face appeared with a mischievous smile when he said that violating minors is a crime in this country. No, but this branch has no minors so it cannot be said to be a crime. It would even be odd to make it a crime just because a man accidentally saw another man naked.

Perhaps Jeong Taeui’s confused expression was all over his face. His awkward appearance, not knowing what to do, was reflected in that young man’s eyes. His surprised expression quickly disappeared and was replaced by a calm face as usual.

“This is the first time I see you…… Who are you?”

The young man asked quietly. Jeong Taeui was once again shocked. Even that voice sounded childish. How should I say it, that way of speaking softly and keeping distance in speech seems new. That’s it. If someone thought he was a minor, it wouldn’t be unusual.

Jeong Taeui covered his mouth with his hand to hide his embarrassment, but he didn’t realize that that gesture looked even more embarrassing.

Wouldn’t it be rude to ask him how old he is?

“Sorry but…… How old are you?”

Even though he thought so, Jeong Taeui still couldn’t help but ask that boy. As if guessing the reason from Jeong Taeui’s bewildered face and gesture, the young man replied with a slightly annoyed and annoyed voice.

“Twenty-two. But who are you?”

Twenty-two. Still young, but even if you touch it, you won’t be charged with anything…… No, how could you think like that!

“um……. Do you work here?”

Jeong Taeui felt sorry that this seemingly honest young man had to work among those ferocious and rough people. In the situation surrounded by poisonous snakes on all sides.

By that time, the discomfort was even more evident on that guy’s face. That face seemed to be wondering who the hell this guy was, suddenly barging into someone else’s bathroom and not even answering a question, then talking nonsense and treating him like a child.

“Which team are you from and which Vice Director are you subordinate to? Or did you come here to hear some news from me? Are you coming as a Warden or an Instructor?”

He said coldly with an icy face.

Only then did Jeong Taeui startle as if he had just woken up from a dream and scratched his neck. It seemed like his mood became so unpleasant because of him.

“I got lost…….I was just going to see Instructor Jeong.”

“Is it Instructor Jeong Changin? Exit this room, go all the way and then turn right, go all the way to the dead end, then turn right again from there, look to the right and you’ll see the elevator. Turn to the right corner and go to the second room next to it.”

“Um…… okay.”

Even though it was an insincere answer, it was still very helpful. If you can calculate the direction, it will be easy to find.

“Then……. Thank you.”

Jeong Taeui greeted awkwardly. That young man still showed an uncomfortable expression but still shrugged as an answer. His bare shoulders seemed to shine.

Now he just need to leave this place, but Jeong Taeui’s legs refuse to move. Such a beautiful young man, it would be nice if he could see a little more. He immediately turned his eyes towards to Taeui as he spoke and moved. 

“Still not going?”

It looked like he was about to take off his clothes. The young man threw the shirt into the basket and began to unbuckle his belt as if he wanted to take off his pants. Seeing Jeong Taeui still standing there, he frowned in suspicion.

Jeong Taeui blushed. He was embarrassed for no reason.

“No…………I will go. So, see you soon.”

Jeong Taeui waved and left the bathroom without looking back. He walked slowly to the right as the young man said. He had to walk all the way to the end of the street before his mind calmed down a bit. Jeong Taeui raised his hand to hug his cheek, even his ears felt hot.

Jeong Taeui was embarrassed and stood rooted to the spot. Then shake your head, turn to the right and walk away.

He is not an excitable person. He often heard people say that he was a bit indifferent and like a stone made of wood. But the reality is that even if he’s embarrassed, he won’t show it on his face. But now, even without looking in the mirror, he knows how embarrassed his face is.

“Damned……. Why didn’t you tell me there was such a young boy?”

Jeong Taeui tried blaming his poor clueless uncle for once. Of course there was no reply.

He had been like this once before. The way the mind suddenly goes blank and he can only be confused and hesitant. Memories of that past have fallen into oblivion.

That was when he was still a young student. Jeong Taeui – a teenager who always wanted to grow up soon, or in a bad way, tried everything he could (to prove that he was mature) since he was a high school student . He has slept with both men and women. And soon realized that he was attracted to other men than women. And other men’s soft bodies when hugged were more to his taste.

When you go to a friend’s house on summer vacation and meet that friend’s cousin. It seems that person has become his first love.

Not too skinny, his skin is smooth and white, his big eyes and cute expression are like cotton candy.

At that time, he was exactly the same as now.

The face feels hot, the heart beats fast, his mind goes blank, and his breathing trembles.

He used an excuse to go to his friend’s house a few days later and gradually got to know his cousin. Although their relationship has become closer, every time he sees him, he still feels nervous. Even his eyes couldn’t help but glance at that smooth skin.

Not long after, that friend’s cousin returned home after the end of summer vacation and also ended Jeong Taeui’s empty first love.

Even after that, Jeong Taeui’s taste is still guys who are cute, adorable, fresh and make his heart melt.

But guys of the same age or even older than him with looks like that are rare to find. So he almost never really saw anyone like that anymore. Occasionally, if he was impressed by someone with a similar appearance in the club (Bar club), he would just happily satisfy them.

However, he never thought that someone exactly like him would appear in a remote place like this.

“What should I do…….”

Jeong Taeui muttered.

What to do now. Why is there someone so exactly like your taste here?

Actually, thinking back, it’s unlikely that the two would have gone to bed together. He had absolutely no intention of raping or sexually harassing another person, so if it was a straight guy, he would end up here. That probability is very high. Even if he was lucky enough to have the same sexual orientation as you, your time here would only be half a year.

What should I do now? Jeong Taeui muttered without knowing what to do.

Meanwhile, the long hallway ended. Jeong Taeui looked at the wall in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh, then turned right again.

Sure enough, as that young man said, the elevator is right next to the stairs. That was the elevator that Tou had taken him down in the beginning.

“Turn right at the second, second turn error……. That’s right.”

Jeong Taeui moved according to what that young man said. He quickly found his uncle’s room.
