“There’s nothing there?”
“I-I thought I saw a bug pass by… I’m sorry. I think I saw wrong.”
“How dull.”
Feng Tao, who turned his head back, stared intently at Kang Siwon. A silent pressure to hurry up and drink the wine was transmitted.
Kang Siwon grabbed his portion of the wine glass—no, what had been Feng Tao’s portion. The cold texture of glass wound between his fingers.
‘I don’t know anymore.’
Kang Siwon squeezed his eyes shut and gulped down the wine. Believing that no matter how insane Feng Tao was, he wouldn’t have put something in the wine he himself was going to drink.
“Hmm, the bouquet is quite good. Right?”
Feng Tao also drank a few sips with a satisfied look before putting down his glass. There seemed to be nothing wrong yet. If there really was nothing wrong with the wine, that would be fortunate in its own way.
“Let’s just finish the game. You didn’t switch cards while I was away, did you?”
“…Of course not.”
“Haha, just kidding. Whose turn was it?”
“It’s my turn.”
The game resumed. After that, boring play continued like flat beer. Feng Tao listlessly fiddled with his cards while sipping wine. He didn’t forget to force him each time, saying “You should drink too.”
“Wait, isn’t that a bust? Yaaawn…”
Feng Tao, who was calculating whether he’d exceeded 21 points, yawned hugely. His eyelids blinked heavily.
“What? Why am I sleepy…?”
“It’s early but it’s evening. And you drank a lot.”
“That can’t be…”
Feng Tao muttered while peering into his glass. Soon his eyes gleamed.
“The thing you switched wasn’t cards but glasses?”
He was caught.
Kang Siwon reflexively stood up and tried to leave. But Feng Tao lunged and grabbed Kang Siwon. The chair pushed by him fell over with a thud.
“Where are you going?”
“Let go!”
Kang Siwon roughly pushed Feng Tao away. Feng Tao, who was smaller in build than Kang Siwon and had even taken a strange drug, was pushed back helplessly.
“Fuck, you’re so hard to nail.”
Feng Tao grumbled with reddened eyes. His eyes showed he wanted to do something right now, but he seemed to know himself that he lacked the strength for that. Looking around, he grabbed a wine bottle.
“That’s a crime. Don’t do it.”
Despite the firm warning, it didn’t work. Feng Tao ended up swinging the wine bottle. Kang Siwon clicked his tongue and dodged. Since he hadn’t thought he would listen anyway, he wasn’t disappointed.
“I told you not to, damn it!”
Kang Siwon struck down Feng Tao’s wrist. The wine bottle fell, and the remaining wine splattered everywhere. Kang Siwon wiped off the wine that had even splattered on his face and clicked his tongue irritably.
“You, this…”
Feng Tao’s body, which had been glaring at Kang Siwon while holding his wrist, tilted to the side. He seemed intoxicated by the drug. He wanted to just leave him whether he collapsed or not, but if his head hit the floor, things would get complicated. Kang Siwon grabbed Feng Tao as if escorting him and made him sit in a corner of the dining room.
“This…”
Feng Tao spewed out curses, but Kang Siwon completely ignored them. Anyway, such disgraceful behavior didn’t last long. Feng Tao, who had been struggling desperately not to fall asleep, eventually succumbed to the sandman and passed out.
“Are you asleep?”
“……”
“Pervert bastard, are you asleep?”
Seeing no answer came back, he was definitely asleep. Kang Siwon, not even hiding his contemptuous gaze as he glared at him, immediately turned around. He didn’t want to stay in this place even one more moment.
He left the dining room and crossed the living room. Perhaps everyone had moved elsewhere, as there were only two people in the living room. It had been a bit strange that no one appeared even though there was a commotion—that must have been why.
The two were overlapping bodies on the sofa, sharing an intense kiss. Kang Siwon deliberately looked away from them and walked quietly.
“Hey, you!”
He’d hoped they’d leave him alone, but the man stopped kissing and raised his head. He pointed at Kang Siwon and said.
“You, you’re Feng Tao’s partner, right?”
“I’m not his partner.”
“Feng Tao was determined to nail you today?”
“No, that won’t happen. I’m going back now.”
“Who gave you permission?”
The man got up from the sofa and blocked his way. If he was going to do this, he should have put on his pants first—his lower half was bare. Kang Siwon tried not to lower his gaze and said.
“Do I need permission to go to my own home?”
“Try going then. If you can call the elevator.”
He said sluggishly. Like when he came up, it seemed to be a system where you needed a card key to take the elevator down too. Unable to leave freely without permission—it was a place with bad taste.
Kang Siwon glared at the man. Looking now, he was that very person who had switched cards earlier, Hou Yeqing.
“Hou Yeqing-ssi can call it for me then.”
“Ha, why should I? And you’re carelessly using my name…”
“Why. Looking at you play poker earlier, you had good hand skills. With those hand skills, you should be able to press an elevator button, right?”
“…What nonsense are you talking?”
Hou Yeqing’s complexion hardened. Unable to hide even a single emotion like that, of course he’d lose consecutively at poker. Kang Siwon inwardly mocked him thoroughly.
“I saw everything—you switching with cards hidden in your sleeve. Feng Tao-ssi seemed to enjoy poker purely, but I guess you’re not really his friend.”
“Who are you slandering?”
Hou Yeqing frowned and denied it. But even in the midst of that, seeing him anxiously glance toward the dining room, he seemed worried that Feng Tao might overhear the conversation. Even though the current Feng Tao would take Hou Yeqing’s side over his anyway.
Kang Siwon inwardly mocked Hou Yeqing and quietly proposed.
“Just call the elevator for me. Then I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.”
Hou Yeqing, who spat out a curse, whirled around. He picked up the card key on the mini table in front of the sofa and headed toward the elevator. Kang Siwon silently followed him.
Hou Yeqing held the card key to the reader on the wall. When the elevator arrived, he immediately turned around as if nothing had happened.
Kang Siwon silently got on the elevator. Beyond the transparent glass wall, Nam Wan Lake could be seen below. The nightscape lights reflected on the dark water surface, creating a distant scenery.
Ding—
He arrived at the lobby. Kang Siwon, who got off the elevator, took a deep breath. Breathing in the outside air finally made him feel like he’d escaped.
“Fucking bastards.”
Kang Siwon raised his middle finger toward the penthouse before walking away.
* * *
After leaving the residential-commercial complex building, Kang Siwon first called a taxi.
Normally he would have used public transportation, but today that seemed absolutely impossible. His physical condition was very strange.
His heart kept pounding. At first he thought it was because he was tense from escaping the penthouse, but his heart was still beating fast. Just like he was running or something.
It would have been fortunate if that was all. For some reason he didn’t understand, blood was rushing to his important parts.
“Fuck… why is this happening.”
Kang Siwon frowned while looking down at his lower body.
He obviously hadn’t had lewd thoughts or anything arousing. Yet his dick stood erect as if he’d had a wet dream. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, its bulk stood out above his pants. If he took public transportation in this state, he’d likely be treated as a pervert.
Soon a black sedan arrived. Perhaps because it was a call taxi, the vehicle’s exterior was more luxurious than a regular taxi. The fare would obviously be expensive too, but right now, getting back to the dormitory quickly was more important than that. Kang Siwon, who got in the sedan, urgently gave the address.
Even while riding the taxi, far from subsiding, the erection seemed to increasingly draw strength to his lower abdomen. Kang Siwon clenched his fists and struck his thighs several times, but it was useless.
“We’ve arrived, sir.”
“Can I pay cash?”
“Yes, please do.”
The taxi stopped right in front of the dormitory building. Kang Siwon paid the fare with the cash Feng Tao had given him. Thinking it came from his hands made even touching it feel dirty, making him want to quickly get rid of it.
“You don’t need to give change.”
He got out of the taxi without even hearing the driver’s response.
He went straight up to the dormitory and opened the front door. A dark living room greeted him. Ray Jun seemed to not have returned from his appointment yet.
“……”
Kang Siwon first headed to the bathroom. He wanted to quickly wash off all the wine that had splattered during the scuffle with Feng Tao earlier.
He lathered up plenty of soap and meticulously scrubbed his whole body. He also vigorously rubbed and washed his genitals. Because of that, just when he thought it would subside after ejaculating once, his dick raised its head again. No matter how much he was an adult in his prime, there was no situation warranting it, so the erection couldn’t be this quick. It was definitely strange.
“What kind of drug did he use, crazy…”
Could he have used illegal or addictive drugs? Kang Siwon, who suddenly became anxious, frowned. But no matter how wild Feng Tao was, he probably wouldn’t have put anything dangerous in the wine he was going to drink. It probably wasn’t narcotics—he thought it was likely a male sexual function supplement.
“Bastard does all sorts of things.”
Kang Siwon stroked his genitals again. Thanks to the soap suds, his hand slid smoothly. After ejaculating once more, his genitals subsided a little.
He washed off the semen and suds cleanly with the showerhead and turned off the water. Kang Siwon, who dried off and came out, headed straight to bed. Now even a fever was rising—his physical condition was not normal. He felt like he needed to rest thoroughly.
“Ugh…”
Fever aside, he couldn’t sleep because he kept thinking about what happened today. He was trying to at least close his eyes when his phone briefly vibrated. Checking it, it was a text from Ray Jun.
[Roommate Ray Jun] The calamari and french fries here are delicious
[Roommate Ray Jun] Want me to bring some takeout for you?
[Roommate Ray Jun] Or is there anything else you need?
They didn’t usually text frequently, so what was this timing for contact? Kang Siwon stared at the phone screen emitting bright light for a while before barely moving his fingers.
[Me] My physical condition is strange
He hesitated to actually send it. What could Ray Jun do even if he told him? He didn’t know what he’d eaten or if there was even an antidote.
However, the only person he could rely on in this Macau was Ray Jun, and Kang Siwon needed help right now. He eventually pressed the send button.
[Roommate Ray Jun] What’s wrong?
[Roommate Ray Jun] Are you sick? Or did you have an accident?
[Roommate Ray Jun] Should I call emergency services?
He was about to reply that it wasn’t that serious. Two messages from Ray Jun arrived in succession.
[Roommate Ray Jun] Wait
[Roommate Ray Jun] I’m coming now
“…Hah.”
Kang Siwon sighed while putting down his phone with a thud. Now he seemed to understand. He had wanted to receive help from Ray Jun. Even if it meant showing him an unsightly appearance.
