“I understand well. CEO-nim, don’t do petty things either.”
“Petty?”
“I’m talking about blackmailing with someone’s weakness. If those photos spread, I won’t stay still either.”
“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything you can do.”
It’s not like a cat tapping with its front paws before eating a mouse. Lee Dojun made an expression saying ‘someone like you?’ and kept teasing and ignoring me.
Fine, go ahead and do whatever you want. If the worst situation happens, I won’t stay still either. Since it’s ruined anyway, I’ll also smear some dirt on Lee Dojun’s pretty face and honor.
A few days ago, after making that resolution, I’ve been secretly recording everything in case it might help. A pen-shaped recorder hidden in my clothes is recording everything.
‘People need to know your true nature too.’
“Take your hand away.”
“You’d better guard this well.”
Crazy bastard. Lee Dojun’s hand habits are also insane.
I was eating a sandwich when he suddenly put his hand on my lower area. It’s because I’ve been through all sorts of hardships after entering this damn novel, otherwise if I were a normal person, I would have already dropped the sandwich.
“You’re blatantly committing a crime. Aren’t you creating your own weakness?”
“You’d better not think about living recklessly like before.”
“I get it, so take your hand off. Do you want to get hit in the face with a sandwich?”
How can I get rid of that annoying bastard? Should I sneak into his house and steal all the photos? That meticulous bastard has surely prepared all the backups, so it would be a meaningless action.
I want to stop caring about Seo Hanryul. But every time I see Lee Dojun’s face, that thought disappeared. Because if I really left as I pleased, it seemed like Lee Dojun would really bring down Seo Hanryul.
* * *
“Without this, it’s hard to endure with a clear mind.”
Not only did I spend a night with Lee Dojun, but I was even sexually harassed at lunch. Unable to endure the continuous adversities, as soon as I arrived home, I cracked open a can of cool beer.
After having an unpleasant lunch with Lee Dojun, in the afternoon I briefly met Seo Hanryul according to schedule. When I saw his back, it looked like he had a lot to say to me, but Seo Hanryul didn’t ask me any questions.
It’s very strange that the bastard’s attitude has changed to an amazing degree. If he had tormented me like before, I would have ignored Lee Dojun and left for America, but since the kid suddenly changed, it wasn’t easy to ignore Lee Dojun either.
I guess I really am a fool. Just because the bastard became a bit nicer, I can’t steel my heart.
“No answer.”
Ding-dong-
‘Who is it at this hour?’
Seo Hanryul’s face appeared on the intercom screen.
Right, I knew this would happen. Why did he only talk about work earlier? Seo Hanryul must have come to cause a scene at my house.
“What’s going on at night?”
“Huh? It’s Jaehyun.”
As soon as I opened the front door, Seo Hanryul called my name and hugged me tightly. A sticky smell of alcohol vibrated from his whole body. How much do you have to drink to smell like this? And what is this beggar-like drinking habit?
“Did you drink?”
“I drank a bit.”
The way he kept grinning while looking at me provoked irritation. This bastard must have similar drinking habits to me. The drinking habit of clinging to others.
“How come you drank? I don’t think I’ve seen you drink much.”
“Because of you.”
“…Forget it. I’ll take you home. Follow me.”
“I don’t want to. I’m going to sleep at your house.”
After getting drunk, he brazenly enters someone else’s house and even plans to impose. His shameless personality hasn’t disappeared.
“Ha…. Do whatever you want. The house is big.”
I had absolutely no intention of fighting with a drunkard, so I let the bastard enter the house.
“What did you do with the CEO today?”
“Didn’t I tell you not to acknowledge me except for work?”
I wondered why he wasn’t asking. I said while tapping Seo Hanryul’s forehead with my finger.
“That bastard is weird. He has impure intentions.”
“Hey, I told you to get along well with the CEO. The CEO is all for your sake….”
“Fuck, that again? What is this place? Just leave then.”
He cuts off my words and suddenly gets angry. This bastard must have caught some crazy disease.
I’m really worried. If he happens to run into Lee Dojun when I’m not around and shows this kind of attitude…. I don’t even want to think about it. Right now Lee Dojun has your weakness, you immature bastard.
“Just sleep. Go lie down over there.”
“Hey, you’re hiding something from me.”
My own life is already hard, but Seo Hanryul was putting on a late-night one-man show in front of me. He was angry just a moment ago but now he started shedding tears.
I just wanted to knock him out and send him home cleanly. It’s truly a mystery how the bad-tempered Cha Taehan endured my drunken behavior.
“Go into that room while I’m asking nicely.”
“You know everything about me. …But why do you hide so much? …It’s annoying.”
It seems having a peaceful evening today is wrong. Because of that karma, I have to pamper and put this bastard to sleep.
* * *
“Tell me honestly. How much did you drink?”
“Don’t know.”
For 10 minutes now, I’ve been continuing a meaningless conversation with someone who’s lost their mind. It was amazing that the conversation was continuing at all. Seo Hanryul continued rambling without any intention of sleeping.
Crying, laughing, asking questions, then suddenly cutting off my words and causing a fuss…. I thought he managed to find his way here in this state.
“You said you’d throw me a party last time. But why didn’t you?”
“Because you didn’t ask for it.”
“The person who brought it up should prepare first. Is it right for the main character to ask for a party?”
“Ha…. Right, I was wrong. Let’s have a party this week. Now just go to sleep.”
“Forget it. Do it for me now.”
How long do I have to put up with this not-even-cute drunken behavior? At this point, I’m thinking I should bring a pillow and strike the back of his head to force him to sleep.
“Just go home.”
“I don’t want to. Han Woojin sleeps here, so why can’t I?”
Has Han Woojin slept here before? Ah, when he tutored me before, he slept over one night. But how does this kid know about this? I can’t feel at ease. How did I end up surrounded by stalker bastards?
“…Do you like that slimy bastard Lee Dojun?”
Now he’s latching onto Lee Dojun. I wanted to hit him once, saying ‘would you like it if you were him?’ but I couldn’t spar with a drunk bastard.
“He’s the CEO. You need to mature. Make a good impression on the CEO.”
“Why are you sticking around with the CEO? …Ow!”
I couldn’t bear the endless round song anymore. I grabbed the ears of the bastard who kept spouting useless stories in front of me and walked to the master bedroom.
“Stop causing a scene and just sleep. Unless you want to be kicked out.”
“It hurts. Don’t do that.”
His ears must hurt quite a bit, but far from getting angry, he showed aegyo that invited punches. Seeing the bastard clinging to my side with no intention of letting go, irritation started rising to the top of my head.
Suddenly I thought of Han Woojin. Thinking that I clung to Han Woojin like this on the night I drank was terrible. From Han Woojin’s perspective, it must have felt like suddenly getting hit with shit.
‘Han Woojin, I was sorry.’
I dragged Seo Hanryul and laid him on my bed. As if he wanted to wrestle with me, as soon as he lay down, he pulled my clothes sharply and I also fell onto the bed.
“…Really, stop it. Do you want to get hit once before sleeping, or just sleep?”
“Don’t hit me, it hurts.”
The bastard kept showing aegyo while grinning. It was an annoying action, but even soaked in alcohol, only his face was still shining.
“If it weren’t for that face, you would have been out long ago.”
“I know very well. That’s why you’re weak to my face too.”
Unlucky bastard. With that level of good looks, it would be stranger not to know, but this bastard has a very severe case of prince disease. Even lying on the bed, he doesn’t intend to stop running his mouth.
“Cha Jaehyun, in the past you followed me around to a terrible degree saying you liked me. Right?”
“Don’t know, you bastard.”
“Bad guy…. I’m pretty. Be nice to me.”
What is this bastard causing such a scene for when he opens his eyes tomorrow and has to smooth over the situation? Seo Hanryul hugged me tightly as I lay next to him and closed both eyes. He must finally be going to sleep.
I want to praise myself for responding calmly without getting angry until now. I lightly pushed aside the bastard’s arm that was wrapped around my body.
“Don’t go. Then I won’t sleep.”
When I push his arm away, he opens his eyes again and makes petty threats. Even shamelessness has its limits, what an absurd bastard.
‘Disgusting guy. His drunk antics are no joke either.’
