Tae Yun turned his phone to contact his boss. His blonde golden hair moved gracefully in the air. He was at the temple still. His co officers parted to find Hwan. He was third stair from the upstairs of the temple. The atmosphere was ocean colored as the sun was sinking across the horizon.
His right shoulder jerked when someone bumped to it. He turned. His eyes widened in mesmerization. Five stairs down from him, the ethereal boy was standing who turned his face to him.
It was Hwan. Tae Yun's breath hitched when he looked into his eyes. Hwan's expression was laced by boredom. He was in black hoodie, covering his head. His brown deep eyes shined when in that almost dark atmosphere.
Hwan just turned to leave but.
"S.. Stop." Tae Yun called out. Louder than intend.
Hwan paused but never looked at him. Just walked far from Tae Yun who just stand there like possessed man.
THE PALACE OF LUST
chap 2
"Boss is gone crazy. His main intention is to expose Seung Cheol. The leader of black Panther." Min Soo exclaimed as he throw his hand around Sang Min's shoulder. They were walking through the streets.
Min Soo was elder among them. But he was a womenizer, with a charming smile with dimple, meanwhile Sung Min was one year younger than Min Soo. He was rude and hot tempered with short hight but muscler.
Jae Yoon was the lover boy of the group. He was obsessed with his girlfriend. Yeah. He was the family guy. With lip piercing and plenty of tattoos. What a combination!
Here, Tae Yun was most handsome in the group and less talk, even lesser than Sung Min. 'Love' never existed in his life. He never found any interest in any one.
Tae Yun pushed his hands into his pocket,"It's normal. Because no one would order to 'help the red light areas'." He said, his brain was in wondering around that boy, Hwan.
Jae Yoon raised his eyebrow,"Wow.... You developed." He chuckled. Meanwhile, Sung Min and Min soo continued their chaos.
Hwan stumbled against his door. His were teary and cheeks flushed. But a pleasant smile on his lips. He was pretty tipsy. He checked his pocket for key. But he paused when he heard,"Hey. Hwan. Come for an hour. Mr. Choi want a night with you."
He turned saw a man standing five feets far than him. He let out a chuckled,"Who's this Choi?" He raised his eyebrows. The man scoffed,"My boss. CEO of-----" Hwan didn't let him finish,"Tell him, I'm tired. I can't."
The man's expression darkened,"What do you mean by you can't?! See. He will pay you as much as you want. Just come on."
Hwan simply shook his head,"No." he again turned to opened the lock but,"Oh! Now you also show us ego. Listen keep that ego. Because you don't have rights. We will take just one second to see you, your place, whore."
Hwan paused. And looked at the man. He grinned,"My place?" he calmly asked. The man smirked,"Scared?"
"You're standing on my land." Hwan's word parted the air like a blade. The man was still unaware of the danger. Hwan's stare digging until his core. The man shifted uncomfortablly,"W... What?"
Within a blink Hwan kicked the man's chest who shocked and fall on ground. Hwan didn't let him breath, he lauched on the man,"My place huh?!"
The man stood with all his might and punched Hwan who's face snapped at a sight. But immediately Hwan stabbed the key on his neck who screamed him pain. He kicked the man's crouch, stomoch. The man fell on ground. Hwan kneeled besides the man and grabbed his chin,"Tell your boss, A serpent did this to you. Your boss wanted to sleep with a serpent." Then punched his face for the last time. And walked near the door, unlock the lock and went in.
"Can we meet Hwan?" Jae Yoon politely asked. They entered through the gate of the brothels. It was like a colony. Narrow alleys, red plastic tent side by side. For low charged people who worked there.
Whatever, They asked to a girl possibly who was a prostitute too. The girl raised her eyebrows,"Hwan oppa will kill you if he comes to know you four came together for him. It took hours for you four. Because he need to do one by-------"
"No No we're not here for sex." Min Soo nervously chuckled. The girl's expression became more cautious,"Then?"
Tae Yun sighed and show her their id cards. The girl's eyes widened,"C.. Come with me."
They started to follow the girl. The place wasn't bright despite it was still day time, seems to dark. In way many women gave them unpleasant expression to seduced them but they kept focus.
Soon they reached to a white minimum for a man, house. She opened the door, turned to them,"Stay here for a minute okay." the girl politely said and went in.
After a while the girl came out and signed them to come in. They went in. The furnitures was all in white. But not so expensive. After a narrow corridor they entered in a bedroom. Saw Hwan was laying on his side, resting his head on his palm by the support of his elbow. His eyes was closed.
The room was smelling so good. Tae Yun sniffed. He felt a sudden calmness which he losted after entering the brothel colony.
Hwan was in white sleeveless shirt. A calm expression was ruling on his face. He spoke up,"What brings you here, officers?"
Four of them swallowed,"W... We need help."Jae Yoon spoke with so much un certainity.
Hwan opened his eyes slowly, and laughed,"What kind of help? Help with your boner?"
Tae Yun didn't said anything. He was just staring at him. Min Soo spoke up,"Seung Cheol. We have to expose him. Please help us."
Hwan's smile faded,"How you know I could help you?"
"Because you're aware of every air particles of here." Tae Yun spoke up as folds curved on his eyebrows in determination manner.
Hwan's eyes narrowed,"I need something in exchange."
"How much money." Tae Yun spoke without even thinking.
Hwan shooked his head,"You have to free the people of Seungguk Dong. And give us our rights as humans not sex toys." he sat up slowly,"Agree?"
Tae Yun nodded,"Okay."
