At Secretary Kim’s report, Chairman Kang’s snake-like eyes narrowed. He’d sent Seok-joo to investigate, and he’d overheard the employees talking. He didn’t know if it was true or not, but they said that Kang Il-hyun had traveled alone.
It was very rare for him to move without Park Tae-soo accompanying him. In addition, the traces of Lee Ja-kyung disappeared. If they had met in the first place, there’s no way Kang Il-hyun would have kept him alive. If he did, there was only one reason.
“Investigate all the buildings owned by CEO Kang. He wouldn’t have gone far.”
“I understand.”
Chairman Kang’s eyes flashed like an awl.
“Once you’ve identified them, send the good guys to them.”
Secretary Kim immediately understood what Chairman Kang wanted. Chairman Kang leaned back on the sofa with a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. Others would point fingers at him for threatening his son in order to keep his position, but there were many things in life that could not be avoided.
Because they share the same personality, this fight will never end unless one of them dies first.

Ja-kyung was speechless after tasting Kang Il-hyun’s fried rice. He wondered if all the tears went into the rice as he sliced the onion while cursing. It was overly salty. He moved his jaw slowly and looked at Kang Il-hyun, who sat in front of him, fearful that he would spit it out right away.
Sure enough, Il-hyun’s expression was serious, and he drank water right away.
“Fuck. Why does it taste like this?”
He made it. Ja-kyung barely held back what he wanted to say. Il-hyun took his plate and Ja-kyung’s plate and threw them into the sink. Ja-kyung smiled involuntarily as he saw him sigh while holding onto the sink with both hands.
He only messed up one dish, so why was he taking himself so seriously? Plus, he’s so tall that his head almost touched the top shelf. Ja-kyung got up from his seat and walked over to the refrigerator. He took out a few ingredients and went to the kitchen table, and Kang Il-hyun looked at him.
“Do you have leftover rice?”
Kang Il-hyun nodded. He went to see it, but the amount was huge. This will last until tomorrow morning, but he must have used just the right amount of water. Il-hyun came up behind him and hugged his waist while he was chopping vegetables.
“Will you do it yourself?”
Il-hyun placed his lips on the nape of Ja-kyung’s neck, which irritated him and caused him to shake his shoulders. Il-hyun kept sticking and clinging to him, so he held out the knife he used to cut carrots.
“I’m holding a knife now.”
Il-hyun didn’t care even in front of the knife, but when Ja-kyung took out the onion, he immediately frowned and stepped back. The onion was particularly spicy, but not to the point where Ja-kyung was swearing at it. If he had known this was going to happen, he would have killed him with an onion instead of shooting him a year ago.
“You are much better than me.”
Il-hyun leaned against the sink with his arms crossed, watching Ja-kyung cook. Ja-kyung poured oil into the frying pan and skillfully stir-fried the vegetables, and Il-hyun applauded in admiration. Ja-kyung shrugged and moved the frying pan more vigorously.
Then he realized he was being played by Kang Il-hyun, so he frowned and quickly came to his senses. Il-hyun smiled as expected. Ja-kyung has the impression that he has been tricked. He divided the fried rice into plates once it was finished.
“Thank you for this food.”
Kang Il-hyun sat down, lifted his spoon, took a bite, and nodded.
“It’s delicious. You can marry me.”
“You’re noisy.”
Let us not waste energy by getting angry for no reason. It’s not like they’ve been arguing for a day or two, but it’s a little unusual to have a meal alone. It was even more awkward because there was no housekeeper or staff around, including Wang Han and Wang Lun. So Ja-kyung bowed his head and ate silently.
“Do you want to go for a walk at the beach after dinner?”
“No, I don’t want to.”
“Then how about sex?”
Kang Il-hyun smiles as Ja-kyung frowned and glared at him.
“Did you know my dick gets hard every time you look at me with your eyes like that?”
Ja-kyung recalled the model in the bedroom and said sarcastically.
“Good. You even made a doll, so you can stick it in there.”
“It’s not for me to keep, it’s a gift to you.”
When Ja-kyung asked what he was talking about, he laughed bitterly.
“I’m saying that if you run away next time, it won’t end up just in the model.”
Ja-kyung was startled, but pretended not to hear and continued eating. That doesn’t sound like a joke because Kang Il-hyun is a madman who can pull it off. Kang Il-hyun volunteered to wash the dishes after eating. Because he was uncomfortable, Ja-kyung came out to help, but he was kicked out and sat at the table.
“Sit here and admire my broad back.”
He said shamelessly. He rolled up his sleeves and began washing the plates and cups. Ja-kyung had no idea why Il-hyun had traveled all the way to the island and dressed in a T-shirt and suit, but every time he bent forward, the shirt pulled up, revealing his hard, sculptural upper body.
He ends up smashing one of the cups after scrubbing the dishes until tendons form in his arms. He cursed and tossed the broken cup in the trash can. Ja-kyung sat on a chair and looked around the house.
He looked around the house, expecting to see someone at any moment. But the house was deafeningly quiet, with only the sound of running water and dishes clinking. Il-hyun wiped his wet hands and walked over to the table after washing the dishes. The water had somehow gotten down the front of his shirt.
As he looked down at his wet shirt and frowned, Ja-kyung blurted out without thinking.
“You should have brought someone to work.”
Il-hyun started unbuttoning his shirt one by one.
“I hate that you care about other people. I just wanted you to focus on me.”
“…”
“I want you to take this opportunity to properly look into my heart.”
“…”
“I will wait for you until then.”
“What do you mean?”
“I promise I won’t touch you while you’re here unless you come to my room first and take your clothes off.”
“In your dream.”
His tone was blunt but sincere. He’s such an unpredictable person. Sometimes he’s like a childish elementary school student, sometimes he’s like an adult, and sometimes he’s like a crazy killer, so Ja-kyung didn’t know which one is the real Kang Il-hyun. He was staring at him while Il-hyun took his shirt off completely. Then he tried to take off his pants.
Ja-kyung, who came to his senses, hardened his expression.
“Why are you taking off your pants?”
“To take a shower.”
He could take them off once he was inside. Why here? He dropped his pants down. Kang Il-hyun’s erect dick protruded upward. It was so hard it almost stuck to his stomach. Ja-kyung opened his mouth and was at a loss for words.
He wondered if he was on some kind of drug, how else could he get an erection every time he took it out? When he tilted his head as if he’d seen something he shouldn’t have, Il-hyun threw his clothes aside and asked,
“Want to eat?”
Ja-kyung screamed in disgust and told him to get lost, then Il-hyun smirked and laughed.
“I was talking about dessert. There’s a nice cafe at the end of the island.”
“…”
“Let’s go together tomorrow.”
Ja-kyung thought this was the only house on the island, but apparently not. Even though it was a bit of a drive away, Ja-kyung was relieved to hear that there was a resort and a restaurant. He could still eat properly.
Ja-kyung leaned his head with a tired face after Il-hyun left to take a shower. As he closed his eyes in exhaustion, he heard Kang Il-hyun’s voice from the bathroom.
“Honey. I can’t find the shampoo, can you come and find it for me?”
Ja-kyung frowned and screamed out of nowhere.
“Don’t play tricks!”
He could hear him laughing right away. He got up from his seat and went into his bedroom. After locking the door tightly, he turned around and was startled to see the model standing in front of the window. Ah, shit. It got really scary the more he looked at it.
Ja-kyung pulled the bed sheet over and covered it up. How did he get the idea to create something like this? At the very least, he should make his dick bigger. It wasn’t this small. Just because he was big, he thought everyone else was small. Ja-kyung got pissed off and went into the bathroom.
He lit a cigarette and smoked it before stripping naked. After turning on the hot water and finishing the shower, he felt alive. Ja-kyung, who was wiping away water with a towel, turned around and stopped. In the bathroom mirror, he caught a glimpse of his back, but there was something he couldn’t see.
No way… The moment he checked properly, his eyes widened.
There were letters he hadn’t seen before on the border of his waist and buttocks. It was small and in English, but it was clearly Kang Il-hyun’s name. He’s got to be joking. The letters remained clear even after erasing with water and then soaping.
He looked at it in disbelief and frowned. Fuck. Putting on the gown, he sprinted through the door and went to Kang Il-hyun’s room. Bang. He walked in and saw Kang Il-hyun smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone with only a towel wrapped around his lower body.
“I’ll call you back.”
After the call, he raised one eyebrow. What’s the matter?
Ja-kyung sighed and pointed with his finger.
“You tattooed my body!”
Il-hyun put down his phone and approached slowly. His eyes narrowed, and he looked like he was about to lose it. Ja-kyung clenched his fists. He’d regained some of his strength, and he didn’t think he’d lose this fight. Il-hyun approached and tilted his head sideways.
“I don’t know what you mean?”
Ja-kyung took off his gown in anger and confirmed the letters engraved under his waist. You don’t know? As soon as he finished speaking, Il-hyun grabbed him by the shoulder and pushed Ja-kyung to the bed. Suddenly, Ja-kyung under him crumpled his brow.
Il-hyun untied the towel that was wrapped around his waist and smiled.
“You come to my room first and take your clothes off?”
