TTOA Chapter 6

#6

‘If Seo Eui-woo asks me to date, I’ll just say yes, and then use my position as his lover to suck him dry.’

Seo Eui-woo’s omnipotent Esper ability as an S-rank.

And Seo Eui-woo’s bank balance of hundreds of billions piled up like a mountain.

‘I’ll use him like a slave with a flick of my finger and splurge his money.’

In my first life, I was captivated by Seo Eui-woo’s excessively persistent obsession and his innocent and pretty face, so I accepted everything without a fuss, but in this second life, I will never let it slide.

I’ll squeeze out everything I can,

Use everything I can,

To survive the Gate that will erupt in four years and enjoy a lavish second life without regrets.

‘Hmm, thinking about it like this, I feel a little better…?’

For the time being, I think I can look kindly on Seo Eui-woo, even if he acts like a crazy bastard.

In fact, Seo Eui-woo is quite cute.

‘Haaa… Okay, so what if my boy is a little crazy? It’s not his fault, is it? Seo Eui-woo didn’t want to be born as an Esper, did he?’

Kwon Jae-jin forcibly bent his arm inward.

In his heart, he wanted to disown Seo Eui-woo, saying he’s not my kid but your kid, but he decided to take his kid’s side, because good things are good.

‘If I keep comforting him and teaching him well, it will be resolved. Seo Eui-woo has a good grasp of things, a quick wit, and he’s an extraordinary guy who can see three moves ahead… It’s just that he wastes that good brain only on obsessing over people. His innate potential is good.’

After recovering to some extent, Jae-jin twisted his stiff wrist and got out of bed. His body wasn’t fully recovered yet, but it was good enough to wander around.

Jae-jin grabbed the necktie hanging around his neck and pulled it off, walking leisurely into the hallway. There was no need to look around, the mansion was exactly as he remembered. He could navigate this place with his eyes closed.

Kwon Jae-jin first stopped by the dressing room next to the bedroom. The ceiling sensor lights automatically recognized his movement and brightly illuminated the interior. The neatly closed cabinet doors all opened at once and rose upwards.

The first thing he saw was a huge glass case. A glass case full of weapons.

Like a special agent’s hideout in a movie, firearms, knives, and grenades were neatly hung in perfect alignment. Kwon Jae-jin glanced over the weapon shelf and passed by. Everyday clothes and underwear to wear at home were on the inner shelf.

After grabbing the necessary clothes and leaving the dressing room, the sensor lights reacted as when he entered, automatically turning off the lights and closing the cabinet. It’s such a convenient house. You get lazy if you get used to it.

Jae-jin yawned and headed to the next place. He needed to wash his sticky body, so his destination was the bathroom.

As befitting the name of a mansion, there were several bathrooms. Some with swimming pools, some with jacuzzies. It didn’t matter where as long as he could wash, but since he felt so dirty, he should choose the most luxurious bathroom.

Jae-jin walked to the living room, got on the elevator leading to the upper floor, and went up. By the way, there were three elevators in this house alone. One for people, one for cargo, and one for emergencies.

Arriving on the upper floor in an instant, Jae-jin stepped onto the stairs. The bathroom on the top floor has a good view. It’s quite helpful for the mind and body to lie in a hot tub while looking down at the outside as if you have the sea under your feet.

Kwon Jae-jin filled the bathtub with water and turned on the giant monitor on the wall. He turned on the news channel and pulled the handle hidden under the mirror. The finishing is so neat that you can’t tell, but there’s a wine cellar embedded here.

He chose a wine that was easily accessible and soaked in the bathtub. He had already taken off his torn shirt and thrown it into the laundry chute. If you put laundry in the laundry chute connected to the laundry room, it is automatically sorted, washed, and dried. This house makes people lazy after all.

Jae-jin gulped down the wine from the bottle. He didn’t know the taste. Even after drinking expensive alcohol for four years, he couldn’t tell the difference. It’s just the mood. Anyway, Jae-jin washed his hair, washed his body, and changed his clothes. A white short-sleeved t-shirt and gray cotton pants.

Seo Eui-woo’s clothes were a little big for Jae-jin. The sleeves were baggy and the hem of the pants barely touched the floor. Kwon Jae-jin was also well-built, but Seo Eui-woo was even more so. Besides, Jae-jin knew that he would grow even more over the next four years.

Jae-jin, who had freshened up, applied lotion, tapped his head with a towel, and came out. He put the remaining lotion in his pocket. He takes the elevator back to the lower floor. This time, his destination was the kitchen. He regretted drinking wine on an empty stomach. He had to grab something to eat.

This kitchen has hotel-level facilities. There are eight burners and ovens for each purpose. There are three built-in refrigerators, and the cooking utensils are state-of-the-art and high-end. But Seo Eui-woo doesn’t know how to cook at all. This kitchen had been neglected all along.

Jae-jin opened the lower cabinet of the counter and looked for a kitchen knife. Well-sharpened knives were neatly stored. Among them, Kwon Jae-jin’s favorite kitchen knife could be seen. He’d been with it for years, it was like a comrade.

He put his favorite kitchen knife on the cutting board and opened the refrigerator door this time. All there was were sealed combat rations or protein shakes. Seo Eui-woo only ate these things, so they were piled up in boxes.

When he opened the freezer door instead of the refrigerator, thankfully something was stashed away. Expensive beef in a wooden box and wild pine mushrooms wrapped in cloth. It must have been a gift from high-ranking officials in key government positions that he threw away without even opening. Seo Eui-woo would have forgotten that these things were in the freezer.

Anyway, if he reduced the wine he had been drinking to make a sauce on a heated pan and stir-fried the beef with mushrooms, something edible would come out.

Jae-jin thawed the meat and mushrooms, cut the ingredients into bite-sized pieces with his favorite kitchen knife, and cooked them deliciously. By the time he quickly stir-fried it over high heat and a delicious smell wafted through the air, the sun was setting over the horizon.

The sunset is setting.

He could see the sky, which had been blue, turning red.

Kwon Jae-jin transferred the stir-fried meat and mushrooms to a tray, took a spoon, and went to the dining room. When he placed the plate on the huge 12-person table and set the spoon, a white light flashed outside.

Fine droplets of light spread everywhere like spraying.

It was a trace of a momentary coordinate movement.

Seo Eui-woo, who had finished teleporting, came out of the Sterile Transfer Room and went straight to the dining room. He knew that Kwon Jae-jin was here as a matter of course, even though Kwon Jae-jin hadn’t made a sound.

Well, Jae-jin knew that Seo Eui-woo would be back around this time.

“Seo Eui-woo, please sit there.”

Kwon Jae-jin handed out a spoon for Seo Eui-woo. Then, as if demonstrating, he sat down opposite him. He nonchalantly picks up chopsticks and eats a piece of meat.

Seo Eui-woo, dressed in a black combat uniform, stared down at Jae-jin, who was chewing on the stir-fried meat. His gray eyes were filled with a strange heat.

“Um, I liked it, really……”

Seo Eui-woo blurted out a sudden remark like a boy in love and strode closer to Jae-jin. He didn’t seem to care about the words to sit down or the spoon he was offered.

Standing close, he reached out and cupped Jae-jin’s face in his hands. A jet-black shadow fell over the body that was eating.

“My Guide…… finally…… I liked it so much, it’s the first time…… My, my heart is so full. I’m so happy. What should I do?”

Seo Eui-woo wiped Kwon Jae-jin’s cheeks, smiling with his long, monolid eyes curved. His eye smile was innocent and his touch was affectionate. Anyone would think he was confessing. Jae-jin didn’t care about Seo Eui-woo sticking to him and picked up a mushroom with his chopsticks.

“Sit down there. I have something to say while we eat.”

“I don’t want to. I don’t want to be apart. I was so impatient to get back to Jae-jin. I was anxious. Look, I bit off all my fingernails.”

“Oh, is that so.”

Seo Eui-woo spread out his five fingers and held them out. The skin on the tips of his fingers was peeled off and festering from how much he had chewed on them.

Kwon Jae-jin appropriately ignored Seo Eui-woo’s familiar eccentric behavior and held out a piece of well-cooked meat to his mouth to eat. Seo Eui-woo didn’t even look at the meat in front of him and kept groping Kwon Jae-jin’s face.

He annoyingly massaged his cheeks and fiddled with his ears, and eventually tried to push his fingers into his lips, causing Jae-jin to frown. He turned his head to the side to avoid it.

“Let’s Guide, us.”

Seo Eui-woo was very persistent.

His eyes were turned inside out and all he could see was Guiding.

So this time, it wasn’t his hand but his mouth that came. Seo Eui-woo kissed the top of Kwon Jae-jin’s round head and made a smacking sound. His wet hair was pressed against his lips.

“Jae-jin is my Guide. Let’s Guide.”

“How much will you pay me?”

“Yes?”
