It was a word ordinary people didn’t often speak. Lee Jeong flinched in surprise and looked at him.
“The new president of Yeodan and I… are very close.”
“……”
“So, one omega like you is nothing to me.”
Despite Hyunjin’s threats, his head was still held up high and proud, not broken, still glaring at him. Impudent bastard. Inwardly mocking Lee Jeong, Hyunjin slowly took out his phone.
Normally he despised such childish acts. Being treated not by his own ability but by his father’s name was something his pride wouldn’t allow. However, to continue playing with this omega, it was worth doing once. To make him deeply realize what he’d just done and truly repent. And so he’d never dare act so impudently again. The first rebellious appearance Lee Jeong showed was thrilling and enjoyable to watch, but he didn’t want a second time.
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, while the ringtone went through Hyunjin’s phone switched to speakerphone, Lee Jeong’s expression gradually became tinged with suspicious anxiety. Click, the other party connected. Staring straight at Lee Jeong’s face, Hyunjin greeted the person on the other end of the phone.
“Ah, President Jeong. How are you?”
—Hey, Hyunjin-ah. What’s up? It’s been a while.
The color drained from Lee Jeong’s face. If it was President Jeong, he was the person who took over the position after the former head of the Yeodan organization died. Since he occasionally stopped by Yeodanhwa, Lee Jeong had seen him from afar a few times. It was definitely his voice, no mistake.
“I just called to say hello. I’d like to see you soon with my father.”
—Oh my, I’d welcome Assemblyman Kim with open arms. Our Hyunjin is just so sweet, you know? Even calling to say hello like this. Your father must be so reassured.
“Hahaha, you’re too kind.”
—Come visit Yeodanhwa too, Hyunjin-ah. If a man’s going to work outside, you know? You have to relieve stress and all that.
“Ah, actually there’s been an interesting omega lately, so I’ve been stopping by often.”
A cackling laugh could be heard from beyond the phone.
—Hahaha, really? Who is it? Should I tell the manager? So that omega won’t interfere with your use of him.
“Haha, no. Thank you for your concern. But it’s fine. It’s more comfortable for me if the manager keeps not knowing. Then, I’ll see you soon. Stay healthy!”
—Alright, alright. Hyunjin, you get going.
Hanging up the phone ostentatiously, Hyunjin grinned. Lee Jeong’s white face, biting down hard, soon lowered. Seeing the face clearly showing defeat, Hyunjin inwardly mocked Lee Jeong. This situation where the omega who had been holding his head up high and slapping his cheek was being broken so miserably was so enjoyable.
He’d never revealed his relationship with President Jeong even to Yeodanhwa’s manager. Using his father’s status and power was embarrassing to him, and since his own ability was sufficient anywhere, he didn’t want to use his father’s name. So even though he could have anyone at this establishment if he wanted, Hyunjin had been putting up with the inconvenience.
Doing all sorts of things because of one whore.
Even as he felt that way, Hyunjin trembled at the pleasure this situation was bringing him. Along with the thought that sometimes doing things like this was okay too.
“Ah… To someone working so hard, did I scare them too much?”
“……”
“You know, our Lee Jeong-ssi always works hard receiving customers.”
Hyunjin smiled quite generously. Pointing to his own cheek that would be swollen with red handprints, Hyunjin’s eyes sparkled mischievously.
“But sometimes you make mistakes like this, I guess. I have no intention of just letting this slide, so what should we do? Should I tell the manager first? Or should I go straight to the president?”
“……”
“Then what will happen to Lee Jeong-ssi? Will you get fired? If you get fired from here, what happens, Lee Jeong-ssi? This is quite a high-class establishment, so instead of a place like this, will you go to, like, those places where street beggars come and go for ten thousand won? If you go to a place like that, what about the baby?”
The red lips bitten hard trembled violently. He couldn’t dare raise his lowered gaze. The spirited man who had been glaring at him with such contemptuous eyes until just now was gone, and only a man with his head bowed extremely servilely was standing dumbly before him.
This splendid gap was truly a sight to behold. Feeling the pleasure rushing in like waves, Hyunjin grinned.
“You don’t work on weekends here, right, Lee Jeong-ssi? The manager must think very highly of Lee Jeong-ssi. It must have been good for raising a child, right? But with one word from me, Lee Jeong-ssi can’t work here. Did you know that when you slapped my cheek like this?”
“……”
“Or was it that you just weren’t thinking at all? Since you had a baby, you just fought back. Since you were angry, you just slapped. Lee Jeong-ssi lives pretty thoughtlessly. I wish I could live following my heart like Lee Jeong-ssi does.”
At Hyunjin’s voice that even sounded innocent, Lee Jeong’s gaze began to tremble miserably. Plop, a teardrop fell from both eyes brimming with tears.
At that moment, a thrilling shiver ran to his toes. Should I torment him a little more? A wicked playfulness stealthily raised its head.
“Well, it’d be fortunate if you just get fired from work. Since Lee Jeong-ssi made me so upset… What would happen if I told the president that an omega here hit me and upset me? Lee Jeong-ssi probably wouldn’t be able to stay alive, right?”
“……!”
“No wait. You know what Yeodan people do, right?”
Hyunjin smiled broadly as if truly delighted.
“They’re an organization, organized crime. What’s really scary about these people is, if I do something wrong, they don’t kill me, you know? They always grab a family member to threaten.”
At the word family, Lee Jeong’s eyes widened. His lips that had lost color and trembled now looked pitiful. While chuckling inwardly, Hyunjin continued in a rather sorrowful manner.
“Let’s see, our Lee Jeong-ssi’s family… who is there, besides the baby? Well, if we investigate, it’ll all come out.”
Unable to endure any longer, Lee Jeong squeezed his eyes shut. Trickle, tears flowed ceaselessly through his closed eyes. The teardrops sparkling sorrowfully were poignant.
Should I stop teasing now? Hyunjin closed his mouth with a smile. Having teased him this much, now it was time to shut up and enjoy.
The two white legs soon approached Hyunjin’s front hesitantly as if determined. And slowly knelt down. Lee Jeong’s small forehead, bowing his head, gently leaned on Hyunjin’s thigh. Like a loyal dog submitting to its master. Like a slave begging for mercy and forgiveness.
Although warm satisfaction was already beginning to fill his heart, Hyunjin deliberately hid his smile and asked coldly.
“What’s this?”
“……”
“Trying to rub yourself on me physically? I’ve lost interest now.”
Hyunjin spoke spitefully and twisted up the corner of his mouth.
“I’ve gone cold, you see. Lee Jeong-ssi slapped my cheek, so all desire to do it completely disappeared, what should I do?”
“……”
“I should just go down. I need to complain to the manager. I have no intention of fucking someone who slapped my cheek, you know.”
Hyunjin rose from the bed. At the same time, Lee Jeong’s white hand grabbed Hyunjin’s leg. Kneeling, looking up at Hyunjin desperately, teardrops fell drip drip from his eyes. To others it would be a pure and pitiful sight that would break their hearts, but seeing that appearance, Hyunjin only sneered.
“What? So what? Is it enough to just kneel like this? Lee Jeong-ssi needs to let me know what you’re thinking.”
Understanding what he meant, Lee Jeong quickly raised his body. The man ultimately wanted to use even his only means of communication to humiliate him.
Running quickly to get his notebook and pen, Lee Jeong knelt again. Hastily putting the notebook on the floor, he began scribbling letters. With a satisfied expression, Hyunjin looked down at Lee Jeong like that.
[I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.]
“What? This is the same thing you wrote last time? Can you only say this, Lee Jeong-ssi? There’s too little sincerity.”
It was concise and sincere writing. However, seeing Hyunjin ruthlessly reject it, Lee Jeong bit his lips. After pondering, Lee Jeong turned the page of the notebook and wrote again on a new page.
[I’m truly sorry. I overstepped my bounds. I won’t let this happen again.]
“What are you sorry for?”
Hyunjin arrogantly extended his foot and pointed at the writing with his toe. Lee Jeong, biting his lips, lowered his head and picked up the pen again, but his trembling hand couldn’t readily write the next words.
“What did you do wrong? I need to know that to forgive you.”
“……”
After hesitating for a moment, Lee Jeong wrote again.
[I hit the customer’s cheek.]
“And what else?”
[I should have endured more but couldn’t endure and got angry at the customer.]
“Ha, this is funny.”
Seeing Lee Jeong’s writing, Hyunjin laughed, making cackling sounds.
“Ah, so Lee Jeong-ssi should have endured shitty me more, but couldn’t bear to endure anymore so got angry, right? Then I did something wrong, isn’t that right?”
Lee Jeong hastily shook his head. Seeing Lee Jeong’s face shaking his head desperately while kneeling naked, Hyunjin deliberately made a cold expression.
“That’s right though. Huh? To a kind person like Lee Jeong-ssi, I, with a trash personality, said shitty things, so you couldn’t endure me anymore and slapped me. Isn’t that right?”
From the large, clear eyes, tears rolled down once again. Biting his red lips until they burst, Lee Jeong lowered his head. Lee Jeong, who roughly guessed what Hyunjin wanted to say, began writing again with trembling handwriting. The man wanted Lee Jeong to write words that humiliated himself, willingly and of his own accord.
