However, no matter how much of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come, I couldn’t just recklessly run away from that bastard Baek Sahyun. Perhaps thanks to the experience of getting beaten and educated by the guy until now, I had become able to use some judgment.
The wallet in my hand and Baek Sahyun in the distance.
This place was a highway rest stop bustling with many people.
Right. It wasn’t an environment where one person disappearing would be noticeable, but damn Baek Sahyun’s perception was as fast as a living ghost. Maybe the guy had sent me to the convenience store after predicting even this situation.
As a matter of fact, he was a guy who had been raging about reforming my mindset, so perhaps he was trying to test the educational effect with this opportunity.
So there was also a possibility that if I recklessly ran away like this, I’d get caught by Baek Sahyun again and be dragged along. Then fuck, my life would really be screwed.
“…No. Still, there must be a way to escape.”
But the temptation to flee was far too sweet. If I could somehow get away from Baek Sahyun’s side and find Hyung-man-ssi, it seemed like he would help me emigrate or study abroad.
I could cry and beg him, saying his son’s head had turned into a blockhead so please send him into exile, and whether it turned to porridge or rice, wouldn’t he do something?
And so I ultimately made up my mind. No matter how many times I thought about it, running away seemed better. But ‘secretly without getting caught.’ It would be safer to escape after blocking off any possibilities from the source.
“Excuse me…, hello?”
That’s why I decided to turn Baek Sahyun’s luxury brand wallet into cash. After choosing what looked like the most expensive car among those parked in the parking lot and approaching nearby, I slyly offered a greeting.
The man who had been puffing on a cigarette smoothly turned to look at me. With an expression as if a question mark had floated above his face, I quickly explained.
“I’m um…, my name is Jang Woohyun.”
While mentioning my real name instead of the name ‘Nam Heejae’ that I had been using ever since possessing into this novel. Honestly, this was also purely because of that bastard Baek Sahyun. Because I considered the case where the guy might track me down.
Since Baek Sahyun knew Nam Heejae but not Jang Woohyun, wouldn’t he now be unable to obtain information related to my whereabouts?
“…Ah, yes.”
The man with quite handsome features answered as if a bit flustered. He removed the cigarette he had attached to his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
As expected, rich bastards also have bright and clear features. I grinned along with him. And asked to confirm.
“This car, it’s yours, right?”
When I shone with anticipation, the man nodded with a lukewarm air. Okay! Even at his negative reaction, joy just kept blooming endlessly.
I fumbled and held out Baek Sahyun’s wallet and calmly said.
“I don’t have much time, so I’ll make a direct proposal.”
“Yes?”
“This brand. Do you know how expensive this brand is?”
It was naturally information I didn’t know, being completely ignorant about expensive items. But I asked thinking the man would know thoroughly, and as expected, he slowly worked his jaw.
I shouted ‘nice’ inwardly. The man said.
“I do know…”
A deep curiosity had already risen in his eyes. Looks like he’s tempted. Perhaps because it was Baek Sahyun’s wallet, it definitely seemed to be an expensive brand.
Just as I was about to start the transaction, the man rummaged through his pants pocket and suddenly pulled out something.
“But…, haha. I also have a lot of money.”
…Hm? What is this nonsensical talk all of a sudden? Why is he bringing up having lots of money here?
As I was dumbfounded for a moment, the man pressed the car key with a beep and giggled.
“It’s a unique approach, but I’ve never been seduced with money before, so I’m bewildered.”
“What?”
“Instead of that, how about you just give me your number?”
Click! Along with the sound of the car door opening, the foreign car next to us lit up its headlights. The man whispered toward me.
“Or we could get to know each other in the car right now. Are you good at it?”
“…What?”
“I like people who move well.”
“……”
“People who actively ride on top.”
Fuck! Don’t tell me this bastard was also a homo? Maybe because it was inside a 19+ gay novel, somehow every bastard I met wasn’t normal. Why their way of thinking jumped in this direction, from a heterosexual’s standpoint, I absolutely couldn’t understand.
I denied rapidly.
“That wasn’t what I meant, haa. If you know this is an expensive wallet, I was just trying to ask one favor. I’ll give it to you cheap, so take it for just 200,000 won.”
To escape from this place, first, I had to catch a taxi or second, try hitchhiking. Whichever way, I planned to give generous compensation, so I wanted to have at least 200,000 won on me.
For the most important car, I planned to select an extremely ordinary-looking person to borrow and ride. No matter how I thought about it, it seemed that in this worldview, the more money one had, the more their head spun round and round, showing eccentric behavior.
Keu, Jang Woohyun. You’re using your head well today.
“Hmm, who carries cash these days?”
While I was praising myself, words like a bolt from the blue fell. The man who had snatched the wallet from me looked here and there, then clicked his tongue.
His refreshingly open eyes glanced at me. This guy was also cleanly handsome, but perhaps because I had been living while looking at Baek Sahyun’s outer skin, no exclamation was launched.
The man who had pressed his lips right against my ear whispered intimately.
“And you know, how can you sell this for a measly 200,000 won? Even if it’s used, still.”
Since it wasn’t my item anyway, it was content that didn’t matter at all, but the man was scolding me while treating me like a fool.
Damn it. At this rate, I felt like I would go crazy first. When I didn’t even have enough time to succeed in the transaction, I had to be in a situation exchanging such trivial small talk.
I reached out to take back the wallet, but he displayed tremendous quick reflexes and dodged my hand this way and that.
What is this, a new kind of crazy bastard? Just as I was dumbfounded, the man suddenly praised.
“Your face is really my type.”
Because of these homo bastards found everywhere I went, it was difficult to carry on daily life at all. And at this point, I had no choice but to acknowledge it. Apparently Nam Heejae was a type that appealed quite well to gays. Chae Eunwoo, Baek Sahyun, and now even a homo bastard I was seeing for the first time…
I appealed in as serious a tone as possible.
“…Give me back the wallet.”
“Haha. Are you sulking?”
“Hand it over.”
Then the man repeatedly burst into loud laughter and pinched my cheek slightly. My mood worsened and I brushed off the cheek his hand had touched. Being found cute by a guy with a dick wasn’t pleasant at all.
Just what did Jang Haesu try to read a novel book teeming with bastards like this for? Was she really interested in this kind of thing…?
I felt the emptiness of life, but nevertheless, I didn’t stop lunging at the man. Because Nam Heejae’s physique also wasn’t small, so if I made up my mind and charged in, it seemed I could recapture the wallet.
But fuck, that’s when it was!
“Huh…!”
I discovered Baek Sahyun approaching with slow steps from that far place and became afraid. When I killed my fierce momentum and stepped back, the man expressed doubt with a ‘huh?’
But only Baek Sahyun still entered my field of vision. The guy who should obviously be struggling with the spicy taste of capsaicin was crossing the parking lot using his long legs.
Damn it! He should have stayed quietly stuck on the bench, so why did he grace us with his presence here!
To make matters worse, Baek Sahyun was glaring at me while maintaining a cold expressionless face. Actually, I was confused about whether he was glaring or just looking, but anyway, it was an extremely horror-like appearance.
‘What do I do?’
Since I hadn’t even attempted a full-scale escape yet and hadn’t sold the wallet, the thought of trying to put on a thick face also rose up. If I made an excuse that I wanted to borrow a lighter because I wanted to smoke a cigarette, couldn’t I somehow get through it?
Hey, Sahyun-ah. You came? If I welcomed him in this way, couldn’t I roughly smooth things over? But I was somewhat predicting the fact that reality would never be that lenient.
So there was only one answer.
“Woohyun-ssi?”
“……”
“Woohyun-ssi!”
I don’t know. Let’s just run for now!
I started running away hurriedly, leaving the man behind. Because I hadn’t expected at all that the noble and elegant young master Baek would personally participate in a running race. If I hid in the last stall of the public restroom, it seemed that bastard Baek Sahyun wouldn’t be able to chase me even for hygiene reasons.
But I couldn’t help feeling anxious because of the people around me glancing at my rear. Thump thump. My heart raced noisily.
If it was true that Baek Sahyun was chasing me, I was certain that the better option would be to stop running right away and apologize profusely…
“Heejae-ya!”
…But for that, that bastard’s voice seriously provoked fear.
