“Aha……. I was wondering where you went, turns out you were having fun here.”

Accompanied by a light laugh, faintly echoing.

Sharp white teeth revealed between lips curled in a mocking smile.

Even the narrow, cold eyes seemed to freeze everything they touched.

Every little detail, one by one, made Jeong Taeui’s heart feel frozen.

“…….Il……., …….Rick.”

He unconsciously intended to whisper the man’s name, but suddenly realized Aquino’s gaze and quickly changed the way he addressed him.

No, but now the issue of addressing wasn’t the problem.

Taking advantage of the young man’s puzzled gaze at the newcomer, Jeong Taeui quickly pushed him away. But it was too late – Ilay’s eyes were fixed on a place they shouldn’t be: the lower part of Jeong Taeui gradually exposed, drenched in the young man’s saliva.

‘Oh God. Buddha. Please.’

Jeong Taeui clearly felt his heart shrinking bit by bit, his whole body stiff as a mouse before a cat. When Ilay’s gaze slowly moved up and met his face…….

“…….I……. I didn’t intend…….”

He intended to finish the sentence: ‘I didn’t mean to do that’, but realized Aquino was standing next to him, eyes bright and intently watching him. Jeong Taeui stammered midway, unable to utter a word.

“Do you know that person?”

The young man, still kneeling in front of Jeong Taeui, looked at Ilay with curious eyes and asked. Only then did Ilay shift his gaze to the young man. Ilay’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if considering something.

“Aha……. So this is the person you plan to ‘tear apart’ tonight?”

Ilay’s words made the young man confused, glancing at Jeong Taeui anxiously. For a moment, a sense of injustice surged in Jeong Taeui’s heart, but now was not the time to explain. Ilay began to move towards them.

*Thud*

*Thud*

The slow footsteps echoed, sounding like the reverberations in horror movies.

“Hmm……. Cute and pretty, just your type, isn’t it?”

‘Ah. Clearly, this sentence is directed at ‘Jeong Taeui.’’

Jeong Taeui closed his eyes. This bastard still remembered his old preferences, as if they had never been forgotten.

“No……. My type isn’t like that anymore…….”

Jeong Taeui mumbled defensively in a tiny voice, like a whisper of the wind. However, Ilay, now standing right in front of them, reached out and grabbed the young boy’s chin. He tilted the boy’s head back and forth, as if evaluating an item, then smirked.

“Yes, definitely a face that would look beautiful begging for mercy.”

Ilay’s whisper, like a soliloquy, made the young boy’s face turn pale, his eyes showing more fear. He looked at Ilay and then turned to Jeong Taeui, his voice trembling as he called out: “Hyung…….?”

(This part is where the young boy calls Taeui ‘Hyung’ in context and grammar, but from the background it’s not meant to be in Korean but to call an older man, so I’ll just leave it as ‘Hyung’, though I was thinking of replacing it with ‘Big bro’…….)

“Oh, it seems you haven’t said anything yet?” – Ilay shifted his sharp gaze to Jeong Taeui. He still held the young man’s chin, leaning down to whisper in a soft voice, as if pouring into his ear.

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay generously, even cover the hospital bills. Of course, you might have to stay in the hospital for a while because the lower part is damaged beyond use, maybe even for the rest of your life. But that price is worth it, because this guy is very rich.”

Every word Ilay spoke made the young man’s face grow even paler. His white lips trembled incessantly. Ilay slowly shook his chin and spoke in a low voice:

“If you don’t have the guts to take risks to that extent, then don’t open your mouth carelessly in places like this…….”

That sound was like the breath of a beast, and surely Jeong Taeui wasn’t the only one who felt it. The pupils of the young boy, whose eyes were wide with fear, slightly contracted in panic.

Ilay looked at the trembling young man for a long time, then suddenly laughed. He lightly patted the young man’s cheek twice *tap, tap.*

“Today is the luckiest day of your life, understand? …….Now, go quickly and bring the friend you mentioned here.”

Ilay’s threatening whisper quickly returned to his usual calm demeanor. Then he helped the young man to his feet and gently pushed him away. The young man staggered as if he was about to fall and only managed to steady himself after bumping into the wall. His face was pale, and his wide, frightened eyes darted back and forth between Ilay and Jeong Taeui before he stammered: “I-I-I……. I’ll……. take him there…….” After saying this, the young man hurriedly turned around and fled, nearly tripping a few times but still running at full speed. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from sight.

Aquino frowned and scowled at Ilay.

“Why did you have to say those things? That guy ran away. He’s not going to find his friend. He’s not coming back.”

“It’s better to clarify all agreements beforehand. Isn’t precision necessary in transactions?”

“In a place like this, you won’t find anyone to match this guy’s grotesque preferences.”

“So what? Just deceive and destroy someone at random?”

Ilay looked at Aquino with a cold and contemptuous gaze. Those eyes, as if silently asking: ‘Are you just going to turn a blind eye to inhumane acts like this?’ startled Aquino, making him wrinkle his face uncomfortably before falling silent.

As for Jeong Taeui, he just wanted to glare at Ilay and ask: ‘When did you suddenly become so humane and fair?’ But at this moment, that wasn’t the most pressing concern.

The young man, thanks to Aquino’s presence nearby – and thanks to Jeong Taeui currently having to impersonate Shima Qinwei – had unknowingly won the jackpot in life. He had been able to leave without getting hurt, losing nothing in the process.

But as for Jeong Taeui, who was now left behind——

He couldn’t run, and he had nowhere to hide.

Taeui felt unbearably wronged, though explaining his side wouldn’t convince anyone.

“……., ……., …….”

‘I’m truly innocent……. This is truly unfair…….’

Jeong Taeui mumbled under his breath, casting a pleading look toward Ilay. Finally, Ilay turned to look at him. The moment their eyes met, Jeong Taeui’s heart sank straight to the bottom.

Meanwhile, Aquino stood by, grumbling irritably: “That guy’s gone. He’s not coming back. Damn it, now we have to find someone else to crawl around this filthy alley with?”

Ilay tilted his head slightly, his cold, piercing eyes still fixed on Jeong Taeui. The faint, lifeless smile on his lips only made the atmosphere even more unsettling.

“So, how does it feel? Tasty?”

Ilay asked in a low, deep voice. Then, all of a sudden, his gaze dropped downward, fixing on a specific spot below Jeong Taeui. Instinctively, Jeong Taeui followed his gaze, looking down, and immediately froze. His piece of flesh was still sticking out from the zipper that hadn’t been pulled up yet…….”Hic.”

Jeong Taeui hurriedly intended to zip up and adjust his clothes, but once again. Ilay quickly reached out and grabbed his penis.

“――!”

“Is that brat’s mouth okay? He looks exactly like your type. It’s been a while since you’ve had a ‘change of taste’, so I’m sure you’re finding this quite entertaining.”

 “No, no, no, it’s not like that! I didn’t do anything, I just……. I just……. barely touched it for a second, and I pushed away right after!”

“I pulled out so fast I didn’t even know what was happening, and I didn’t feel anything at all, I swear!” – Jeong Taeui hurriedly spilled out his justification. But at that moment, Aquino, who was watching him with a strange expression, furrowed his brows and said:

“What are you doing?”

Aquino’s gaze clearly seemed to ask why Rick was getting tangled up with someone so filthy, but there was also a hint of confusion mixed in. However, in the face of that look, Ilay remained utterly calm, meeting it head-on before suddenly curling his lips into a sly smirk, revealing his white teeth as he spoke softly:

“Well, now that I think about it, this guy does match my type. This one right here. Especially that face he made when that brat was sucking him off, it was absolutely priceless.”

Jeong Taeui was about to jump up and shout: ‘When did I ever enjoy this?!’ but at that very moment, the hand gripping his lower half tightened, rendering him speechless. He could only gulp and shut his mouth.

Aquino frowned in a way that was both peculiar and telling, as if he had suddenly recalled the earlier conversation. Gradually, his expression twisted into a distorted smile.

“That guy……. seriously? Ha, your taste is really bizarre. Do you honestly want to ’embrace’ someone as messed up as him?”

“Those who are controlled by their feelings tend to be more intensely stimulated when they experience a shock,” – Ilay replied with unsettling calmness – “If someone like him starts getting addicted to being passive, he’ll go insane over it. If his preferences shift, it would be a benefit to the world, a benefit to me, and in the end, even he’ll find pleasure in it.”

“Could there be a more perfect outcome than this?” – Ilay said with a sly, challenging smirk.

Although Jeong Taeui was drenched in cold sweat, gripping Ilay’s wrist in a desperate attempt to stop him, the hand that was slowly kneading below him showed no signs of halting.

Aquino looked at Jeong Taeui with a mix of contempt and a hint of satisfaction, before turning to Ilay with a scowl.

“So what if he uses the code to cause chaos?”

“――That’s right! I won’t decode it! If you don’t let go, I swear I won’t decode anything anymore!”

“Won’t do what?” 

The reason Jeong Taeui, who was on the verge of desperately begging, fell silent wasn’t just because the hand gripping him tightened further, but also because of Ilay’s cold, piercing gaze right in front of him. A faint smirk played on Ilay’s lips, and his eyes, sharp as blades, carried a murderous intensity that sent shivers down Jeong Taeui’s spine. It had been a long time since he’d seen such a terrifying look, one that felt like it could claim his life at any moment.

“Should I call that kid back here for you?”

“――.”

“Will you do it?”

“――I…….won’t…….”

“You better make sure you can.”

Ilay’s grip tightened even more. Jeong Taeui flinched and curled in on himself, trembling, unable to let out a sound. Then, right by his ear, Ilay leaned in and whispered.

“You can’t just let this touch anyone or anything like that. Even if I sympathize and understand your situation, it still pains me deeply……. do you understand?”

As soon as he finished speaking in his low, steady voice, Ilay let go of his grip. Jeong Taeui slumped against the wall, clutching himself below as he gasped for air. Ilay turned away from him and shifted his gaze to Aquino. The faint trace of a smirk that had been on his face was completely gone, replaced by a cold, emotionless expression that made Aquino blink in startled confusion.

“The code will be decoded on time, so there’s no need to worry about that, Aquino.”

“But…….”

“When have I ever failed at something I confidently guaranteed?” 

Aquino fell silent. From what he knew, the man called Riegrow had never once failed to deliver on his promises.

Though still frowning in apparent dissatisfaction, Aquino glanced at Jeong Taeui – who looked utterly lost and unsure of what to do – and seemed to change his mind. A cruel, merciless smile spread across Aquino’s face. He spat on the floor, crossed his arms, and leaned against the wall, making it painfully clear he had no intention of interfering and would simply stand there to watch.

Jeong Taeui (though he had never expected any help from Aquino in the first place) now truly felt like the entire world had turned its back on him. And now, he was left completely alone, face-to-face with Ilay.

“Hold on, whether an action is intentional or just an unintended accident is a critical factor in making a legal judgment, and in this case, it’s clearly the latter…….”

“Oh……. Then, if it were intentional, what do you think your situation would be right now?”

“…….”

‘Perhaps……. I wouldn’t even be standing here to talk about it.’

Jeong Taeui found himself completely at a loss for words, as if his tongue had been tied or honey had sealed his mouth shut. He was utterly speechless. Seeing Taeui stammering, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness, Ilay allowed a faint smile to flicker across his face.

“There’s no need to worry so much. I just want to make you feel as good as that kid did.”

“No, what I mean is, I don’t feel comfortable,” 

But Ilay could no longer wait, and Taeui’s words could not continue either. In an instant, Ilay knelt on one knee in front of Taeui and immediately took his cock into his mouth.

“――.”

Taeui took a deep breath and gripped Ilay’s head firmly. Aquino briefly grimaced before turning away.

“Ha, ――uh,”

“Stay still.”

As Taeui tried to push Ilay away, shaking his head frantically, Ilay, who seemed like he might say something more, simply spoke curtly. His voice was menacing, like a predator ready to bite if Taeui moved even an inch further. The intensity froze Taeui in place.

“Wait, wait, ah, ――it hurts, it hurts, ah, uh, ――.”

The feeling of him sucking hard on the lower part of his body without restraint made Taeui feel pain. Taeui gasped and begged to the point of tears, but in the meantime, his breathing began to change gradually.

From the tip of the penis to the shaft, to the base, gliding along the blood vessels, the tip of the tongue presses against the skin and draws lines. Then, occasionally gently biting and sucking, he took the entire shaft into his mouth and sucked hard again, then glided over the shaft and crawled down to the base, his tongue lightly touching the scrotum beneath the base. Before long, he took the entire sack into his mouth and sucked hard.

“――!!”

Taeui let out a loud gasp and his body jolted violently. That bastard seemed to have found the weak spot, rolling those round things in his mouth with his tongue and pressing hard, and each time Taeui gasped for breath, moans would escape.

“Oh, oh, ――please, ――oh, I, I, am about to come, ――uh, oh, oh,”

Taeui curled up and almost hugged Ilay’s head tightly, while below, his body was already stiff. The head of the penis was drenched and twitching, seeming like it was about to explode at any moment.

But at that moment.

Ilay tightly grasped the base of Taeui.

The erect penis, as if about to reach its climax, suddenly stopped, still standing upright.

“――?”

When Taeui looked down in confusion, he saw Ilay tying a handkerchief tightly around the base.

“W-what the hell!”

“Fair is fair. What good is it if only you get to enjoy yourself?”

“W-wait, what do you mean by this!?

Ilay began to stand up from his seat, completely ignoring the shocked Jeong Taeui, then unzipped his pants and pulled his cock out from the zipper. Ilay looked straight at Taeui, licked his lips while gently shaking the heavy thing that had just popped out of his zipper. Then, he added one more thing.

“Suck it up.”

Although Taeui didn’t feel as unfamiliar as he had the first time, when he saw the ominous-looking object in the dimly lit alley, he glanced at it briefly and murmured, almost on the verge of tears,

“No, not in a place like this…….”

“Just a moment ago, you were getting sucked off right here, weren’t you? So, what’s the problem now? Besides, isn’t it true that the esteemed Mister Shima Qinwei prefers doing it outdoors?”

The instant Ilay mentioned that name, Taeui’s breath caught in his throat. For a brief moment, the overwhelming sensations had made him forget about the bastard Aquino. But as the name resurfaced, anger and frustration immediately surged within him like a tidal wave.

“That’s right, I did it, I did it…….!”

‘Who was it that told me to pretend to be Shima Qinwei for three days straight? It’s not like I went around fooling with anyone else! It was just a complete accident that it happened to touch someone else’s mouth for a moment. All of this happened because I was trying to imitate him, and now you’re blaming me like this…….’ – Jeong Taeui had a thousand things he wanted to say, as countless as grains of sand on a beach, but he couldn’t get a single word out. His mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but no sound came forth. However, Ilay showed no signs of sympathy for him. 

Ilay unexpectedly put his thumb into Jeong Taeui’s mouth, pressing lightly on his tongue as if to suppress any resistance. Jeong Taeui, who was screaming inside, immediately stiffened, all movements stopped, and he could only stare wide-eyed at Ilay. Facing his unblinking gaze, Ilay slowly moved his finger, tracing the contours of his tongue.

“――.”

It felt as though his tongue was being trampled under Ilay’s thumb.

Unconsciously, Jeong Taeui felt his breath catch, his chest tightening as if the air had been sucked out of the room. His face gradually turned red, and his breathing became labored. Ilay, who hadn’t taken his eyes off him for even a moment, let a soft smile cross his lips.

“…….Suck.”

With those softly spoken words and a hand gently gripping the back of Taeui’s head, pressing him down ever so slightly, the fleeting hesitation within him dissipated, and Taeui’s head lowered almost instinctively, as if compelled by the moment.

That thing of Ilay’s has popped right into view. When looked at closely, it stood up a bit, but because it was shrouded in darkness, it appeared even larger and more bizarre.

Moans echoed from somewhere not far away, a cool breeze brushing against the exposed skin, the dark stone walls and the cold, hard asphalt beneath, the shoes of the man standing right before his knees, and the coat he was wearing……. All of it made one thing unmistakably clear: this was not a secluded, private space as usual, but an open, exposed place out in the open. Even Aquino’s muttered curses from behind served to heighten that stark awareness, grounding Jeong Taeui further in the unsettling reality of the situation.

Jeong Taeui bowed his head. His face was burning. It’s just the location that has changed. It’s just someone’s gaze looking.

Even though he tried to convince himself that it wasn’t a big deal, the scorching sensation in his head refused to subside.

Jeong Taeui gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and reluctantly lifted his head.

At that moment, Ilay, who had been silently watching him from above, suddenly reached out and placed a hand on his cheek. That hand gently stroked his face for a brief moment, and then Ilay let out a faint, resigned smile, as though he were sighing in exasperation.

“Alright……. Shima, you must enjoy things like this, but honestly, I’m not a fan of doing this where everyone can see. So――let’s settle for this level of compromise.”

Those words were accompanied by the hem of Ilay’s coat being draped over Taeui’s head.

In an instant, everything went dark.

The coat only covered the upper part of his neck, but anyone looking could easily guess what was happening beneath the fabric. Even so, Jeong Taeui realized this was an unusually rare concession from Ilay. And though it felt like a childish game of ‘blocking others’ view to comfort oneself’, Jeong Taeui’s pounding heart eased slightly. Feeling Ilay’s hand rest gently on his head through the coat, he obediently lowered his head and slightly parted his lips.

Immediately, the thick, ferocious piece of meat, so familiar――that thick, raw, and aggressive pillar, which no matter how many thousands or millions of times one might do it, one could never get used to something like that filling the mouth, and Jeong Taeui swallowed it down to the throat.

While Taeui was kneeling, Ilay placed his foot between Taeui’s thighs and rubbed his shin against Taeui’s genitals. Before long, the tightly bound erect flesh began to contract and tremble.

Inside the garment, muffled sounds, cries, and moans occasionally emerged, each time the head concealed within moved, and Ilay’s gaze downward with a satisfied expression became increasingly immersed in pleasure. The friction speed of the trousers against the kneeling man’s groin gradually increased, and from within the garment, sounds of moaning that resembled crying had been continuously emanating for some time.

At that moment,

“——It can be released.”

Ilay murmured softly, and Taeui lowered his hand, tearing off the tightly bound cloth around his base. The fingers untying the knot, because unseen, trembled with anxiety.

As soon as the knot was completely undone, the penis immediately swelled and ejected fluid, and Ilay pressed Taeui’s head into his groin.

It’s unclear which soft moan came first.

Ilay let out a rough breath that sounded like laughter and lifted his waist, while Taeui also released long-suppressed moans as he let out the pent-up emotions. Along with the suppressed moans flowing out from between the folds of the clothes, the throat exposed beneath the garment also gulped down saliva *gulp, gulp* several times.

The oppressive atmosphere suddenly filled the space for a brief moment.

After that suffocating silence, short if short, long if long, Jeong Taeui finally lifted his head out from under the coat. His entire face was flushed red with embarrassment as he kept his gaze down, wiping his damp, pale lips with the back of his hand before straightening his clothes.

Ilay patted the lower half of himself, which still hadn’t entirely lost its spirit, and smiled.

“This isn’t so bad……. I can’t say I don’t understand your preferences, Shima Qinwei.”

“……. No……. I’d really prefer if you didn’t……. absolutely not,”

Jeong Taeui lifted his still-flushed face and grumbled irritably: ‘I’ve seen all kinds of terrible things while being around this guy, but today is on another level of awful.’ Even though his body felt lighter, relieved of its tension and desire, shame and humiliation coursed through him like a raging tide, and inside, Jeong Taeui was cursing Ilay to no end with every vile word he could muster.

‘Well, it’s over now anyway. I’ll just use this as an excuse to leave……. That should work, right? Damn it, how was I supposed to know that bastard Shima Qinwei was such a sex-crazed maniac?’

Even in the midst of his current situation, Jeong Taeui couldn’t stop thinking about Shima Qinwei’s outrageous behavior. But he quickly realized that such thoughts were utterly pointless. Because his ordeal wasn’t over yet.

“Perhaps you’d prefer to finish the rest here since it excites you more, but unfortunately, I’d rather wrap this up in a more comfortable setting. Playing until we’re fully satisfied out here? I’ll save that for next time. For now, let’s head home and continue tonight’s session.”

As if that wasn’t enough, Ilay smirked and added: “If you want, I could even gather everyone at home and do it right in front of them to satisfy you.”

Jeong Taeui could only stare at him, dumbfounded, unable to find the words to respond.

“W-what…….?”

“What’s the matter? You look as though everything is already over. Isn’t it you, Shima Qinwei, who’s always so insatiable that you keep going until others can’t take it anymore? Don’t be shy. Tonight, I’ll ‘play’ with you until there’s absolutely nothing left to ‘squeeze’ out.”

“W-what……. what…….?”

“To the point where you won’t even remember that you just had a handsome young man sucking you off.”

Looking at Ilay’s sly smirk and the sharp, gleaming white teeth behind it, Jeong Taeui felt as though he’d been struck on the back of the head, leaving him dazed. The truth of everything lay in that final sentence, and Ilay’s true intentions were hidden within those very words.

“This……. this……. there’s no way…….”

‘If you’re even a little human, you should at least turn a blind eye to this much. No matter how dissatisfied you are, you clearly know it was just an accident—how can you be this cruel――’

Those thoughts swirled in Jeong Taeui’s mind, but none of them could make it past his lips. Because he was completely stunned into silence.

Ilay, paying no attention to Jeong Taeui’s stammering or his shocked expression, stepped closer and effortlessly hoisted him up onto his shoulder like a sack of rice. Then, as if nothing were out of the ordinary, he turned his head toward Aquino.

Aquino, who had been standing there in disbelief, his expression a mix of astonishment and smug satisfaction, quickly caught on to Ilay’s intent when he nodded toward the main road beyond the alley. Without hesitation, Aquino began walking, his steps casual, though he couldn’t resist throwing out a sarcastic remark as he glanced at Jeong Taeui, helplessly slung over Ilay’s shoulder.

“You depraved bastard, it must’ve been so much fun dancing around recklessly back then, huh? Well, now it’s time to face the consequences. Let’s see how it feels to get a taste of payback.”

“…….”

Countless words rose to Jeong Taeui’s throat, but not a single one made it out. Overwhelmed by humiliation and frustration, all he could do was let out a long, weary sigh, as if trying to suppress everything boiling inside him. It felt as though blood was rushing to his throat, choking him, yet there was no way to release the knot of emotions tangled within.
