“……So. Aren’t you going to do it?”
“It is hard to say that I can do it easily…….”
“Jeong Yi-an. If you’re not going to do it, then don’t. As you know, there’s a line of guys willing to do this job. If you have nothing to lose, you can go.”
“It’s just that this one case is a bit like that; it’s not that I won’t do other things. I mean… aheuk!”
Slap. With a harsh snapping sound, Yi-an’s pale cheeks turned red. His vision instantly returned from Hwang Young-woo’s face to the concrete floor. an rubbed his cheeks, which were quickly swelling, and stood up, his body staggering. Hwang Young-woo, who had been leisurely watching the swaying Yi-an with his narrowed eyes, continued speaking.
“Get a grip? Did you think this business was a place where you could just pick and choose what you wanted to do? Fuck. Did I treat you too well because you were such a pathetic loser? Now you’re getting on my nerves……”
“Ugh…”
Yi-an covered his cheeks with trembling hands. A vivid sensation of heat spread through his palms, and he tasted the metallic flavor of blood in his saliva.
“No… I’m sorry.”
“What kind of asshole picks and chooses who takes on a job? Do you want to be the boss?”
“……It’s not like that…….”
“Are you going to do it or not? Since things have come to this, why don’t you just quit altogether? Stop wasting other people’s time.”
“…….”
“It’s because of the extra money I gave you last time… How old did you say your younger sister was? If you don’t want to, she should take responsibility as a co-guarantor. Damn it. When did I ever get around to raising them just to take advantage of them? I went to all the trouble to take care of them, and all they do is cause me a loss.”
Yi-an’s chin trembled as he lowered his head, feeling as if he had committed a crime, at the words that came from the lips bearing a sinister smile. It felt as though the world were turning upside down at thosevwords.
“No, no… I don’t dislike it… I’m sorry. I’ll do it.”
“Look at this…….”
Whenever the name of Jeong Yi-an’s younger sister, Jeong Yiseo, whom he knew only by name, was mentioned, he always reacted like this. It was his exact weakness. Knowing this well, Hwang Young-woo would find the right timing and exploit it every time. He was so naive that no matter how many times he used it, Jeong Yi-an would tremble without ever getting tired of it. It was a tearful display of family love.
“I’ll do it. I’m sorry.”
