Chapter 130: 6.13

Kibum was still confused when he entered his house. He was still trying to process what just happened today. He sat at the edge of his bed, thinking about what was Mr. Jeon's real intention. 

'Does he really love me? No, at least, he said he is interested in me…'

'But, what is there to be interested with? I'm as plain as an average human can be.'

Kibum glanced at his reflection in the mirror. He inspected every facial feature of his; straight nose, chiseled jawline, and double eyelids that defined his country's beauty standard. But somehow, he always saw himself as uninteresting, bland, meh.

It was different when Taewoo took control of his body, though. His swagger and confidence made him the center of attention wherever he went. Maybe Taewoo also charmed Mr. Jeon with his smooth talk and fooled Mr. Jeon to romance him. 

"It is always Taewoo who get all the good things. He is the one that is better, also the one that is well-liked by everyone. I am just a forgettable thing…" Kibum lamented on his fate. Even though this body was his, Taewoo still beat him in everything. 

"But at least, I'm not a killer. I'm not the one who killed mom…" Kibum said. Although he was worse in everything than Taewoo, at least he was not a monster that everyone feared. 

Kibum started getting headaches whenever he recalled how Taewoo took control over his body all of the sudden when he had a heated argument with his mother. When he woke up, police already swarmed his house. He saw his mother lying on the ground with a knife on her stomach. 

Strangely, the police found evidence of burglary with many pieces of jewelry went missing, shattered windows, and a sign of struggle in Mrs. Kim's body.

Kibum, who was questioned by the police about the incident, replied, "I don't remember."

Kibum was only eight years old when the incident happened. He was returned to his father, and the case went cold after few years without lead. 

In fact, Kibum knew well that Taewoo was the one who killed his mother. But how could he prove that to the police, that Taewoo was his other personality? The sign of burglary would make the testimony of an eight-year-old kid seem like a child delusion.

Kibum's gaze went cold. He didn't have the mood to text Mina today. He just handcuffed himself as always and went to sleep to meet Taewoo.

'Yo, brother. You sleep earlier than usual today,' Taewoo said in their dream. 

'What happened between you and Mr. Jeon? He is suddenly interested in me, did you do something to him?' 

Taewoo shrugged, 'Why are you so suspicious about everything I did? I'm just telling him that you are a good man. Mr. Jeon is impressed with your perseverance to isolate yourself from society.'

'You know that your reason isn't adding up, right? Mr. Jeon is suddenly interested in me for no reason. I know you did something to him. Kim Taewoo, I know your maliciousness. You are the one who isolated me from everyone because of your murderous tendency. I won't let you hurt Mr. Jeon!' Kibum said warily. 

'Oh come on~ I never break anyone, except their hearts, of course, ahahaha!' Taewoo circled around Kibum and then rested his chin on Kibum's shoulder, 'Besides, don't you think Mr. Jeon is a fantastic man? He is rich, handsome, powerful, and is not shy to approach you first.'

'Because he is an amazing man, I don't want you to hurt him!'

'I will not hurt him, I promise. In fact, I also like him as much as you do~' Taewoo teased his brother by saying, 'As long as you agreed to accept his advance, then I will not hurt anybody else in this life.'

Kibum listened to Taewoo's promise. He still had a doubt in his heart. But he was tempted when he heard that Taewoo wouldn't hurt anyone as long as he opened his heart to Mr. Jeon. 

If that was true, then he wouldn't need to isolate himself anymore. He could also move on from Jung Mina, who only toyed with his feeling for years, 'Promise that you will never hurt anybody else if I opened my heart, okay?'

'Promise.'

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 20%.]

"Did you have a good rest last night?" 

"Um…yes, sir…"

"Don't call me sir. We are not working today," Junho smiled, "Call me Junho, okay?"

"Yes… J—Junho…"

Kibum glanced at Junho, who wore a casual blue sweater and khaki chino. It made him looked more down to earth compared to his usual black suit, though it still didn't hide his handsomeness. 

Meanwhile, Kibum himself wore a V neck white shirt and jeans. They were like a couple of two good-looking men on a casual date, if not because of the bodyguards who tried to mask their presence to make it less obvious that Junho was an important person.

"Where do you want to go?" Junho asked.

[Let's go to the adult sex toys store, hehe.]

'Let's go to the adult sex toys store, haha,' Taewoo said in Kibum's head.

Kibum shook his head and pointed at an ice cream parlor. They went to the ice cream parlor and sat at one table with ice creams in their hands. Kibum focused his gaze on his ice cream because Junho kept staring at him.

"S—Stop staring at me, it's embarrassing…" 

"I just think that you are very pleasant to look at," Junho said, his eyes softly gazed at Kibum, and he licked the vanilla ice cream slowly with his red tongue. Kibum blushed when he saw this because he got shamelessly aroused by the sight of Mr. Jeon licking ice cream.

'Oh shit! He is trying to bait me!' Taewoo said in his head.

'Brother, let me take charge. I will fuck this bitch for being shameless! I bet he has a vibrator inside his ass!'

'Stop saying ridiculous things! Mr. Jeon is a proud son of heaven! He should be treated like one!' Kibum and Taewoo were arguing with each other in Kibum's head.

Meanwhile, Yunyu and Pupa were also arguing inside Yunyu's head.

[Ah… today's vibrator feels nice.]

[Pupa: You really have to lick that ice cream seductively, do you want Taewoo to come out and wreak havoc? This is public space.]

[I just can't wait to see what Taewoo will do. He is so interesting, I can't control my excitement! Besides, this is Junho's real nature, right? That's why there is no OOC notification from you.]

Pupa couldn't come with a rebuttal because what Yunyu said was true.

They were eating ice cream while fighting against each other's archnemesis in their heads until the silence was broken with the presence of someone.

"Kibum? What are you doing here?" 

Kibum raised his head, and he saw the girl that he loved for so long standing in front of him with an unknown man, "Jung Mina?"
