March Novel (Completed) - Chapter 34

“Kim Seokcheol?”

“Yes. He seems to be trying to sound out Lee Sehwa on the topic of what happened with Boss Son yesterday, saying he didn’t receive his commission or something like that. But the message content is a bit….”

“What’s wrong with the content?”

“You’ll have to see it yourself.”

Lieutenant Park stared at Gi Taejeong on the screen, then shifted his gaze to the phone. There seemed to be no particular problem. At least not yet.

“I’ll check the content for a moment, so report any issues immediately. Keep burning the CCTV circuits as you are. Don’t cut them off all at once, but gradually, slowly. That’s their usual method.”

“Yes, understood.”

Lieutenant Park, who had been pressing his eye sockets with his thumb and forefinger, quickly shook his head and opened the most recent message.

Lee Sehwa’s phone was simple. It seemed to be used only for communication, an old relic with hardly any working functions. The saved numbers were only house staff, drug dealers, and regular customers. He didn’t even have the phone number of a frequently ordered restaurant. Despite being a house player, he didn’t even play games.

It was so clean that at first, Lieutenant Park even suspected he might be a spy sent from somewhere. A drug distributor who had teamed up with Lieutenant Kim. It was a topic Gi Taejeong couldn’t help but react to, and an excellent bait he couldn’t help but fall for, even knowing it. Fortunately, Lee Sehwa’s range of activity wasn’t wide, so after reviewing all his past actions, Lieutenant Park felt a little relieved… but still, Lieutenant Park was displeased with Lee Sehwa.

Gi Taejeong seemed to find interest in Lee Sehwa’s naive personality, which betrayed his appearance. His superior would sleep with anyone when his blood boiled and his cock was hard, and among them were many celebrities as beautiful as Lee Sehwa. But they were ultimately just one-night stands. Lee Sehwa was the first sex partner he had shown such affection for and maintained a long relationship with.

Gi Taejeong even treated Lee Sehwa well. Lee Sehwa might feel wronged if he heard this, but Gi Taejeong was the type to tear a tight hole completely open and use blood as lubricant, rather than applying ointment to a partner who couldn’t loosen up. Moreover, Lee Sehwa had never broken any bones or limbs during sex until now. If Gi Taejeong hadn’t said he would abort the pregnancy immediately after the trial, Lieutenant Park might have wondered if his superior had finally found someone he truly cared for.

But if Gi Taejeong only regarded Lee Sehwa as a necessary partner… then, in Lieutenant Park’s view, Lee Sehwa’s personality, which Gi Taejeong liked, was extremely dangerous.

While Gi Taejeong placed a disguised doll in the quarters and went digging around with Gi Taejeong, his terrifying superior would occasionally look at his phone and laugh loudly. He said he was watching the CCTV installed in the house’s office. He didn’t show the videos, so Lieutenant Park could only guess from Gi Taejeong’s explanations, but apparently, Lee Sehwa liked it when he gave him some toys. This was despite being treated harshly by Gi Taejeong, and being trapped naked without even being allowed a single piece of clothing.

Just yesterday, for example. Hadn’t Gi Taejeong said that even after taking Gi Taejeong until he was exhausted, he cried and laughed when Gi Taejeong fed him a little cake? With such a personality, wouldn’t he easily fall for anyone else who just sweet-talked him a little, not just Gi Taejeong? A beautiful man ignorant of the ways of the world, who knew a fair bit about internal affairs, had the ability to distinguish drugs without being addicted, and was now even capable of pregnancy due to Lieutenant Kim’s mischief. If people who wanted to bring Gi Taejeong down found out about Lee Sehwa’s existence, they would undoubtedly try to win him over.

Indeed, it seemed the time had come for him, as a subordinate, to subtly advise his superior. To quickly get Lee Sehwa pregnant and get rid of him.

And Lee Sehwa also needed to know his own condition. He seemed to think that whenever Gi Taejeong talked about pregnancy, that crazy guy was just talking about being in heat in his own way.

“…What is this?”

Lieutenant Park, who had been sighing and about to read the message, frowned deeply. It wasn’t a saved number, but the sender was definitely Kim Seokcheol. Judging by what he was saying, it was him. But the content was…

[I heard from Boss Son yesterday about what happened to you. Something about not getting your commission~~ I don’t know the details, but it seems there was some trouble regarding money, right?]

[You roughly know how well-off my family is, so lending a few bucks isn’t difficult for me~^^ Let’s meet and talk.]

[However, I hope our relationship changes a bit through this. I’ve wanted to say this several times, but… I hesitated because you seemed burdened… Honestly, it’s hard to just give this amount of money away. And it’s not like we’re in a sponsor relationship, are we?^^ Still, something needs to be decided clearly so I can ask my family elders. You know what I mean, right?]

[But this wasn’t just my thought, was it?^^ Seeing you smile every time you saw me, I guessed you felt the same way^^…]

“Is this bastard really crazy….”

Kim Seokcheol, this bastard, wasn’t just a drug-crazed addict. To be making advances on someone half his age without any shame. And yet, he was disgusting, making excuses about his family, unable to say he would just give him that money.

“Then what, should he cry at a customer instead of smiling? Crazy bastard.”

Lieutenant Park clicked his tongue and activated his own phone. He had received instructions from Gi Taejeong before. If Kim Seokcheol contacted Lee Sehwa’s cloned phone, he was to send this exact message, word for word.

[I don’t want to contact you anymore, mister. A new handsome customer I met said he only wants to deal with me.]

Gi Taejeong probably hadn’t foreseen this situation when he gave the order. But given the circumstances, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

“Lieutenant Park!”

Lieutenant Park, who had been clicking his tongue, was brought back to reality by Chief Warrant Officer Choi’s urgent voice. The cloned phone rang furiously as soon as the message was sent, but anything beyond this was not Lieutenant Park’s concern. Above all…

“There seems to be a system error!”

The movement of the fire doors, which had been falling neatly like stacked blocks, was unusual. Skipping the normal sequence, the ceiling was twitching far away. It was near where Gi Taejeong and Lee Sehwa were.

He had known Gi Taejeong was fast ever since he killed all the soldiers at the entrance. Earlier, when he ran far ahead, leaving him behind, and then came back to rescue him, he wondered how a person could move at such a speed… but now, it seemed he had just been casually walking until then.

As he had warned, Gi Taejeong didn’t support Sehwa carefully. As if it were a physical training exercise, he simply held Sehwa dangling and sprinted. It was his first time being carried on someone’s back, so when Gi Taejeong bent down and offered his back, he felt a little touched. His lower abdomen tingled and tickled.

However, while covering a considerable distance in a short time… somehow, Sehwa felt like he was a sandbag for training. How could Gi Taejeong move so fast? Are all soldiers like this? At least Lieutenant Kim definitely wasn’t. Gi Taejeong’s movements, far exceeding human physical limits, were a little chilling.

Anyway, thanks to him running like he was flying, they comfortably reached the target Section 9. The thudding sound of the fire doors falling from the ceiling still sounded distant.

After safely putting in the fifth syringe filled with medicine, he peeked out and saw that Gi Taejeong also seemed to have obtained the desired item. As he had said, it looked like a black ball packaged inside a transparent box. Perhaps because Gi Taejeong had mentioned dolls earlier, it felt like a toy. Even though what was inside was a terrifying bomb.

“Um, Director….”

“Are you done?”

“Yes. I packed one more, just in case.”

Now, all they had to do was wait for the fire door to fall near them. Once Gi Taejeong threw the Z2, or whatever it was, into the gap… he still didn’t quite understand what Gi Taejeong intended to do, but anyway, then they could get out of here.

Gi Taejeong twitched his hand. He was staring intently at something on the shelf, not even glancing his way. Sehwa cautiously moved. He had lost his other shoe while running on Gi Taejeong’s back earlier. Of course, Gi Taejeong was the kind of person who wouldn’t give him any slack, whether he was barefoot or had torn soles, so he had to move diligently if he didn’t want to be scolded.

Sehwa needlessly crumpled the hem of his giant top, stealing glances at the man he had made his landmark. Honestly… he felt a little sad. Even though Gi Taejeong was rough during sex, he always made sure he wasn’t hurt… It seemed Gi Taejeong only showed that consideration when they were intimate.
