Chapter 24. Ruthless Submersion

Whether it was Gi Chairman or Gi Jae-jun, in the end they were nothing more than bastards with dicks hanging between their legs.

Just imagining those vulgar bastards undressing Hae-yeong’s sensual body lines with their eyes made a possessiveness close to murderous intent surge bitterly within Taejun.

Taejun roughly tore off his glasses that blocked his vision and threw them aside.

Then he grabbed Hae-yeong’s wet, smooth waist and pulled her even closer to himself.

Her body, which had been coldly cooled, began to heat up red and melt under Taejun’s hot warmth.

The splashing, wave-like friction sounds didn’t cease until the entire bathroom was filled with steam.

Beyond the floating mist, the two entangled shadows seemed to become one giant mass performing a grotesque dance.

Every time the hot steam blocked her breathing, Hae-yeong scratched down the glass with her nails while moaning roughly.

Like a crashing airship, Taejun continuously threw himself toward her deepest abyss.

It was closer to a fierce battle to devour each other rather than lovemaking.

Just as the pouring water stream soaked the ice-cold tiles, Taejun carved his traces like brands into every corner of Hae-yeong’s soul.

The reality they would have to face once this thick humidity cleared was already of no concern.

Right now, in this moment, only the clear handprints on the mirror and the heart-rending moans were the sole truth proving this precarious sanctuary.

Taejun poured his burning hot breath into Hae-yeong’s ear as he ruthlessly submerged into her world that he had forced open.

***

Taejun and Hae-yeong entered the dining room side by side. Despite Hae-yeong’s earnest request that they move separately, Taejun didn’t listen to her.

Instead, he boldly placed Hae-yeong by his side as if showing off.

Jae-jun’s gaze lingered briefly on Hae-yeong’s flushed cheeks and slightly wet hair before disappearing.

“Why are you so late?”

As if he had been waiting long, anger could be felt in Gi Chairman’s irritated voice.

“I was washing up. I felt grimy from being at the construction site today.”

Taejun sat down without any disturbance, his wet hair roughly pushed back. His indifferent gaze had perfectly erased all traces of that fierce lovemaking in the bathroom.

“Hae-yeong?”

Gi Chairman’s gaze turned to Hae-yeong, who stood frozen beside Taejun.

Though his voice was affectionate, she could feel his gaze touching her meticulously as if examining property, so Hae-yeong kept her eyes on her toes.

“She seems to have encountered a sudden shower on her way home. She was soaking wet, so I told her to wash up. It would be troublesome if she caught a cold.”

Taejun naturally intercepted Hae-yeong’s response.

Behind the nice excuse of a cold, Taejun’s attitude of calmly concealing the moment when he had personally undressed her in the bathroom and they had fiercely entangled under the hot water stream was wickedly skillful.

Hae-yeong fidgeted with the ends of her wet hair, unable to relax her tension for fear that any traces remaining on her body might be discovered.

“Sit down.”

Gi Chairman pointed to Hae-yeong’s seat with his chin.

Hae-yeong precariously crossed between the gazes of Taejun, Gi Chairman, and Jae-jun, who was staring at her piercingly from the darkness, before taking her seat.

The calm before the storm was encroaching upon the dining table.

“Did you visit the Yeongdeungpo construction site?”

“Yes, it’s right before completion so there are many things that need attention. I’m not satisfied unless I check every finishing material with my own eyes.”

Gi Chairman nodded with satisfaction at Taejun’s calm report.

The construction business, which was Je-won Group’s core business, was enjoying unprecedented prosperity under Taejun’s recent leadership.

“We had been focusing only on apartment construction, but your judgment to hold off on that for the time being was right. The profit margin exceeds expectations.”

“Large apartment complexes have high risks. For Je-won right now, focusing on business centers and commercial complexes to strengthen our foundation is the best approach.”

Taejun’s voice carried conviction. The dramatic development of Je-won Group, which had once been unable to escape stagnation, was entirely due to the structural improvements Taejun made after joining the company.

So it was inevitable that Chairman Gi would blindly follow whatever his eldest son Taejun said.

It was all Taejun’s achievement to calmly settle down Gi Chairman, who had no business sense and was only eager to expand recklessly, and convert that violent wildness into rational numbers.

“Right, since you handle everything, I don’t have to rack my brains at this age, which is nice.”

Gi Chairman burst into hearty laughter and gestured to the assistant who had been waiting nearby.

“Bring out a bottle of liquor. My mouth feels dry, so I need a drink.”

“Yes, Chairman. I’ll prepare it right away.”

The assistant, who bowed respectfully, moved briskly.

Gi Chairman looked at his eldest son Taejun with satisfied eyes – the only one among his bloodline who went beyond control to inspire even reverence.

“Would Gi Corporation also like a drink?”

The more Taejun’s achievements shone, the higher the corporate value rose day by day, and he had now established himself as the irreplaceable heir of Je-won Group.

But at the end of that smile lurked deep shadows that even Taejun couldn’t fully fathom.

Though he now spent his debauched old age unable to settle down, having light relationships with this woman and that woman, Gi Chairman too once had a brilliant first love to whom he devoted his entire life.

The only person that Gi Chairman, who had lived alone relying only on his fists, ever revered and loved was Taejun’s birth mother.

When you think about it, living as a gangster’s wife was no different from risking your life every moment.

Gi Chairman was projecting his guilt toward his first wife, whom he had sent to the other world early due to his karma, onto Taejun.

Every time he faced Taejun’s cool eyes that perfectly resembled his dead mother, Gi Chairman returned to being not an all-powerful tyrant but a guilty husband, pouring blind affection onto his son.

“I’m fortunate that you, Taejun, are by my side. Your mother left behind something amazing in you before she went.”

At Gi Chairman’s words mixed with longing that he casually let slip, Chae-sin’s fingertips, who had been silently moving her utensils at one side of the table, trembled slightly.

To Gi Chairman, Chae-sin was merely a tool to satisfy his desires or someone who served the role of keeping her tied down through her connection with Hae-yeong.

In this family structure, Jae-jun was also in a position not much different from Chae-sin.

To Jae-jun, the son of his second wife who died young, Gi Chairman was simultaneously a father and someone who had to be revered like a supreme being in order to secure his own interests.

Gi Chairman had never given Jae-jun even half of half the affection he poured onto Taejun.

Jae-jun hid that discrimination behind a kind and gentle smile.

While Taejun built up the company and their father praised him, Jae-jun was only thinking of devouring Hae-yeong, whom they had raised preciously, into himself.

Taejun indifferently received the glass his father offered while observing that terrible favoritism directed at him.

Whether the source of that affection was his own ability or atonement toward his dead mother, such things were of no importance whatsoever to Taejun.

“Come on, Jae-jun, you have a drink too.”

“Thank you, Father.”

When Gi Chairman pushed the glass forward as if bestowing a favor, Jae-jun received the glass with both hands as if he had been waiting for it.

“Is Jae-jun graduating soon?”

Gi Chairman, who had filled the glass, rarely showed interest in Jae-jun and asked.

Jae-jun, who was usually treated like an invisible person in Taejun’s shadow, smiled brightly with his eyes crinkling as if he didn’t want to miss this momentary warmth directed at him.

Only Taejun read the cool hostility hidden behind that docile smile.

“Yes, Father. This is my final year. I’ll be graduating soon.”

“Once you graduate, go straight under your brother and start learning the work. Gi Corporation has so much work that even ten bodies wouldn’t be enough. Learn the work quickly and help lighten his load.”
