Chapter 315: 11.7

"I will have to get my investment back, and your body, I can sell you to some of my colleagues as a male prostitute. I'm sure they will pay a lot for your service."

Jay froze on the spot. He was too shocked to react properly. He didn't expect the highest opportunity with a high return, could also have the highest risk one could possibly have.

Truthfully, if this was a regular situation, Jay would immediately dismiss such an offer as a crazy offer made by an evil sociopath that had completely no regard over human right.

But now, since he was also struggling hard with his group to actually get fans and not disband in only two or three years, he had to take everything that came to him.

But that risk of getting sold as a male escort as part of the contract…

Lee Yongsun saw the hesitation. He raised his brow in a taunting manner, "What? Are you scared?"

"N—No, I'm not scared, I'm just…" Jay gulped. He was scared, obviously. He knew how powerful Lee Yongsun was and how horrible he could be.

"My offer doesn't come twice," Lee Yongsun pulled out a paper from a drawer and handed it to Jay. "This is the offer, you can read it, but you need to sign the contract now if you are willing. Don't worry about your company. I can just talk to your CEO, and he will definitely agree after I put some money in his mouth."

Jay gulped again. He started having cold sweat.

"Remember, once you leave the door, this contract will not be given to you anymore. Think fast and decisive."

Jay started reading the contract slowly, it was long, but he read it carefully, afraid that he might've missed something. Because Mr. Lee Yongsun handed him a devil contract, a contract that he couldn't leave if he failed.

After he read everything, he found there was nothing wrong with the contract. At least, everything that Mr. Lee Yongsun said was also included in the contract.

He was nervous that something might go wrong. But at the same time, he kept on imagining the pain of Haneul Hyung, who often collapsed because he was too exhausted but said he was alright as long as the group could push forward. If this continued, Han Hyung would die out of exhaustion, and Jay would regret that forever.

"I… I will sign this, but I want you to sponsor my group for the next show. We need that money for stage outfit and makeup artist," Jay said.

"That's easy, just sign the contract," Lee Yongsun agreed without much problem.

Jay took a deep breath. He took the pen on the table and signed it. He gave it back to Lee Yongsun.

"Perfect, I will talk to your company later. Save my private number, in case you need something from me. You are the first rookie artist that I contract, so you get the privilege to contact me personally," Lee Yongsun said. "You may leave now."

Jay returned to the backstage to meet his group member. He was pale, and all his previous hostility just vanished like thin air.

"Jay Hyung, how is it?! Did he do something to you?" Kyong asked first.

"Did he threaten you?" Taeyang asked. "Or did he threaten to do something to our group?" Taesa added.

Jay gulped. He said nothing and only shook his head. "He did nothing. But he said he will talk to our company. Hopefully, we can get some sponsor from him. He said that our group is promising."

"Ah, that's relieving," Kyong, Taeyang, and Taesa sighed in relief. They really thought Mr. Lee Yongsun did something to Jay Hyung. "Hopefully, we get a real sponsor this time!"

"Yes!"

While Kyong, Taeyang, and Taesa was happy with their successful performance and started posting on their social media account about the successful performance, Han stared at Jay worriedly.

Because he knew something was not right.

"Did he do something to you?" Han asked.

"No," Jay replied, but he dodged Han Hyung's eyes. He couldn't lie under Han Hyung's eyes.

[Tell me, good boy. Tell me, what did you do to my husband!?]

[Pupa: You sound crazy right now, don't you know?]

[Wuwuwu, I am having a mental breakdown right now, Pupa. My husband is in love with another man instead of me. Although that other man is also my boyfriend, why does this sounds like a contemporary romance novel?]

[Pupa: Okay, you are speaking gibberish right now.]

"Jay… tell me," Han urged.

Jay felt his heart was also burdened by such responsibility. He also wanted to share the news, at least to his beloved.

Thus Jay leaned forward and whispered to Han Hyung, 'I will tell you in the dorm, okay?'

***

After the show ended, BXB69 went back to their dorm. The CEO was very happy with their performance and decided to buy them five portions of chicken wings as a treat. They had a party until late at night, and slept with a full belly.

Only two members were not sleeping yet, Han and Jay.

They were sitting in the practice room together because Jay said that he would tell Han about what happened after he collected his courage.

"Tell me, Jay," Han asked worriedly. "You've been acting strangely after you met that guy."

Jay smiled bitterly, and then he told everything about the offer, the contract, and all benefits that he could get after he signed. "He even gave me his private phone number, in case I wanted to contact him regarding my work."

"So I signed it," Jay said. "But the contract has a risk, Han Hyung… if I failed to be a big star, he said he will return the investment by selling me as a male escort to the higher ups—"

The moment Jay said that, Han got up and take his phone from the charger.

"H—Hyung, what are you going to do?" Jay asked as he got alerted.

"I will send a text to our CEO-Nim and asked him to burn that contract. I will never let you get touched by someone else!" Han answered angrily.

"NO!" Jay snatched Han Hyung's phone and shook his head. "You can't do that, Hyung. I don't want you to get in trouble! I've signed it. The deal has been made!"

"But I don't want you to be harmed! I'd rather work every day than seeing you get taken by some random creepy old men!" Han yelled.

[Arrghh! That Lee Yongsun, I will punish him later! How could he ignore me! His future wife!]

[Pupa: Why did you get so worked up over this?]

[Because that should have been me! He is Master Han Ye's soul, right? Then that should have been me who play with him! How dare he give his private number to another guy!]

[Pupa: You know, you don't act this crazy before. Is it because Jay is not a master of the world?]

Yunyu stopped for a moment to ponder about his behaviour just now.

[Huh… I wonder too. I mean, I like Jay because he is a good man. But I have this… strange attraction with Lee Yongsun. Maybe because he is part of Master Han Ye's soul. I just can't get romantically attracted to anyone that was not part of Master Han Ye's soul…]

[Maybe this is also my way to distance myself as soon as possible from Jay. I don't want his feeling to develop too much, and it might create disaster, you know.]

[Pupa: I see, finally improvement over time.]

[What?]

[Pupa: Nothing, just a random whim.]

Jay hugged Han immediately to pacify him, "Hyung, I can do this. I just need you to trust me because I'm doing this for you, for our group."

Han rested his head on Jay's shoulder, trying to calm himself down. "Jay, I will always support you. I believe you can do it."

"Thank you for trusting me, Han Hyung…"

Late at night, when everyone was sleeping, including Jay. Han opened his eyes and took Jay phone beside his pillow. As a loving secret couple, they knew each other's password. Han opened Jay's phone and searched recent contact, then he saw a new contact under the name,

Mr. Lee Yongsun.

Han hurriedly copied the number to his phone and returned back to sleep.

[Pupa: What are you going to do with Lee Yongsun's contact?]

[I will confront Lee Yongsun myself since he doesn't have an interest in me, then I will make sure he sees me, at least. I demand an explanation!]
