Chapter 10
“Do you know how sweet a life you are sucking on right now? You have a solitary cell, food comes out on time. Right, is it not?”
“…That is right.”
“What the hell did you do to end up here? I searched, but all that comes up is access denied.” Baek Jin clamped his mouth shut. Not revealing what had happened with Russia was a condition the Bureau had set.
“Shall I guess?”
Kim Hyeong-seop swung the expandable baton through the air. Whoosh, whoosh. The sound of it cutting the air rang through the room. He began, kids like you, you see.
“You definitely committed a crime outside and came in here. Isolation and a solitary cell. At a glance, it is rape. Exactly, your age is full of vigor too, huh? Who did you fuck?”
He paced around the narrow room acting as if he were a detective. He was busy talking to himself, saying if it was not rape, would it not be fraud.
“Since you look gloomy, did you touch your family? Tell me, you fucking bastard!”
The man, who strode up close, brought the expandable baton in his hand straight down onto Baek Jin’s back. When the steel, capable of breaking even glass, touched his skin, a groan burst out.
“Ugh!”
His arms bent and his posture collapsed, but Baek Jin soon raised his upper body again. He had no choice but to endure, biting his lip against the pain spreading from his back. There was no resentment about why he had to suffer such a thing. To him, curses and beatings were part of life.
“Where does this bastard dare make a sound! I am already in a fucking mood!” Kim Hyeong-seop brought the expandable baton down over his thin back and waist. At the sight of him not budging an inch, more and more strength went into the man’s hand. As Baek Jin tensed his body and endured the pain, blood rushed to his face. While he held back his groans and endured, a drop of blood fell to the floor.
Baek Jin could not tear his eyes from the bright red circle. He had to endure. The miracle of waking after sleeping to find his body healed would no longer happen now. Because the one who had stabbed the man who had saved his life with glass was Baek Jin himself.
“Heok, heok… Ha, this bastard is really tough.”
As if exhausted, Kim Hyeong-seop bent at the waist and spat out rough breaths. But the corner of his mouth was raised. His face looked refreshed, as if this act were some kind of sport.
“You awakened people need to be humble. The country holds you up so much, after all.”
……
“Espers like you especially! If I could, I would want to kill you.”
Kim Hyeong-seop, whose expression hardened in an instant, grew angry again at Baek Jin, who still kept his mouth shut. An ordinary person would have rolled around long ago, but the fact that he kept his posture upright like that was also unpleasant to see. Hatred of the awakened and the frustration that he himself had not been chosen mixed together and burst out.
This time, he kicked Baek Jin in the side. For a moment he was flustered, as if he had struck a hard wall rather than a person’s body, but seeing him fall sideways, he found his confidence. He grabbed the fallen Baek Jin by the collar, dragged him over, and climbed on top of him. He raised his arm to drive his fist in, then hesitated at the sensation he had felt a moment earlier.
“Fuck, fu. Are you not going to open your eyes?”
When he snapped at him for no reason, Baek Jin, who had had his eyes closed, slowly lifted his eyelids. His bloodshot eyes and long eyelashes were wetly moist. Kim Hyeong-seop could not tear his eyes from the empty pupils looking up at him. He lowered his fist and lifted the shaggy hair that covered Baek Jin’s forehead.
“Ha, haha… Wow, what is this windfall?”
It was a completely unexpected appearance. When the hair covering his eyes disappeared, the gloomy atmosphere cleared completely. His wet eyes and the blood flowing from his nose all felt erotic, and Kim Hyeong-seop swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
His heart pounded, and blood rushed downward on its own. It was not just anyone, but an esper, of all people, laid out beneath him.
Unconsciously, he checked the door first. The lock could not be operated from inside, so if someone came, he would be completely finished.
“Who is the person in charge of you?”
Baek Jin slowly blinked his dry eyes and shook his head. No one had told him, so there was no way he could know whether he had a person in charge or not.
“Well, if there were one, there is no way he would never come once, is there?” That was also why he himself could come and go here so comfortably.
After confirming there was nothing for him to worry about, Kim Hyeong-seop crawled on his knees up to Baek Jin’s face. His hands unfastening his belt were hurried.
“I am originally not interested in men, you know? You should consider it an honor.” He was so impatient that he could not even unfasten the belt properly, and he muttered a low curse. Jiiik- As he undid the buckle and lowered the zipper, his penis was already half erect.
Baek Jin quietly watched him. Short, if it was short, 10 minutes. Long, at most, it would not even take 15 minutes; would that act not be better than corporal punishment?
“Phew. If I had known this would happen, I should not have taken care of myself this morning.” Kim Hyeong-seop put his hand inside his briefs and busied himself stroking his penis, using Baek Jin’s face as his fodder.
“Do not think about trying any tricks. Kids who come here, if they attack a civilian like me, they are killed on the spot by summary execution.”
At the voice mixed with excitement, Baek Jin flicked his fingers out of habit. Tak, tak. The flames that should have bloomed only scattered small sparks because of the bracelet on his wrist.
Meanwhile, the dark red penis poked out into the air. Holding the still not fully erect thing and positioning it, Kim Hyeong-seop grabbed Baek Jin by the hair and pulled him in. The smell of blood from his nosebleed, which kept flowing, and the sour smell coming from the penis mixed together and came right up to his nose. When the penis poked at the corner of his mouth, Baek Jin put strength back into his slack fingers and flicked his thumb and index finger hard.
Bang!
There was no sensation in his hand at all. Baek Jin turned his head toward where the sound had come from. Only the outline of a person standing with the light at his back was revealed. Had one more person come. Slowly closing and opening his eyelids, the figure visible only as a silhouette approached.
His head, which had been lifted up by the collar, fell straight to the floor. With a beep- of tinnitus ringing, it felt as if he could hear no sound at all.
In the quiet, the features of the one approaching were the same as those that had not left his mind for several days. Although he was not smiling like before. Was it because the heat that should have burst out could not come out? Strangely, the rims of his eyes grew hot.

“Th, that, right now, this, this esper threatened me, aah!” Kim Hyeong-seop, who was sent flying by just a single kick, could not get up as he clutched his side.
Seo Young-woo’s face gradually crumpled as he scanned the room, which had not a single piece of furniture. The dampness from the humidity was unpleasant, and the smell of food vibrated from the lunch boxes shoved into a corner. He had asked them several times to take care of him, yet at the interior conditions, no different from confinement, a hollow laugh finally escaped him.
Seo Young-woo went straight up to the man and grabbed him by the collar. Even at the sight of him struggling as if his neck were caught in his collar, his cold gaze did not waver. Would the world not be better off if a bastard like this did not exist.
“Is the phrase ‘take care of him’ hard to understand?”
“I, I know nothing about it! Really!”
He should have come to find him sooner. His own complacency, thinking they would take care of him well enough on their own, was no different from having made the problem bigger. Within his anger, guilt rose.
Seo Young-woo raised his fist high. Looking at the man, who trembled with his eyes squeezed shut, unable even to see properly, he in the end shook off his hand and straight away looked for the emergency bell button beside the entrance. He smashed with his fist the cover that had been blocked off so it could not be pressed easily, and pressed the red circle.
A siren spread through the entire building. Kim Hyeong-seop lifted his head sharply at the siren sound, then hurriedly pulled up his pants.
“Se, Seo Young-woo Guide! I will explain. Even though it looks like this, I was the one being attacked! Yes! I was alone and it was hard for me to subdue him, so, so…”
“Shut your mouth.”
“…”
“If you say one more word, I will kill you right here, so stay as you are.” Seo Young-woo walked over to Baek Jin, who was still lying without the slightest movement. The nosebleed had flowed so much that blood had pooled on the floor as if he had suffered a cut somewhere.
When Seo Young-woo hurriedly wrapped his hand around the nape of Baek Jin’s neck and slowly raised him, the blood that had been hardening fell with a jjeoeok sound. Seo Young-woo met eyes with Baek Jin, who still made no sound at all.
“…Let us wait just a little more. I will treat you soon.”
Then the expandable baton lying abandoned on the floor caught his eye. When he hurriedly lifted Baek Jin’s short-sleeved T-shirt, at the bruise marks that entered his eyes clearly, he felt his whole body go cold.
“So, sorry…”
At the apology that came from Baek Jin’s mouth, Seo Young-woo felt frustration again. Who was the person who should be apologizing right now.
He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but as if he did not even have the strength to lift his eyelids, he kept closing his eyes.
