You really like torturing me!

Lee Rang broke from his slumber but didn't open his eyes, he wanted this sweet dream he was having to last forever.

Whatever it was, his treacherous mind had filled with the most beautiful of images. He'd watched it as if floating near the ceiling, and yet he felt everything—his body, naked, moving over a lithe female form; his hands stroking and squeezing het warm flesh. The delectable tangle of arms and legs, the musky scent of two bodies in love—it had all been there, hot and vivid in his mind.

Then he opened his eyes and found himself in the reality and now he didn't know which was more pleasing his dream or reality. He was in Hjejin apartment more precisely in her bed  naked so whatever happened in his dream was true. He was never this happier in his life.

Lee Rang turned to another side of bed with sweet and gentle smile in a hope to see Hjejin but the bed was empty, he groaned and jumped out of his bed and wore his pants that was lying on the floor from last night but his shirt was no where to see, not thinking too much about it he moved on.

Ruffling his hair he went outside and searched for Hjejin and there she was, in the kitchen making breakfast for both. He got close to her not really looking at her but when his eyes fell over her he stopped in amazement.

Hjejin stood their in his black shirt wearing nothing underneath, his shirt was not long but was long enough to cover her bottoms, her hair was in a messed up bun which she looked cute in.

He came closer to her and slided down the shirt over her right shoulder and kissed her there. "Good morning."

"Mmh... Good morning." She mumbled, her voice hoarse from last night intimate acts and sound he guessed.

"You know, you look great in my shirt." He smirked. "and I look great inside you."

Hjejin just smiled and turned to face him and they both kissed, holding each other in their arms.

Finally Hjejin break free from the kiss and heard Lee Rang groan which made her chuckle.

"You having fun torturing me." Lee Rang asked slyly.

Ignoring his remark, Hjejin turned to check on her food and said. "I hope you're not hungry because this will take another 10-15 minutes to cook."

He bit her ears gently and whispered seductively. "I only want to eat you."

Hjejin now again turn towards him but this time she smirked as if challenging him and Lee Rang looked at her and said. "I know what we going to do for this 15 minutes."

He took her hand and lead the way towards the bathroom and when they were in front of bathroom door.

"What if I don't want to." Hjejin remarked and it made Lee Rang stop on his track.

"Then I won't dare to touch you." He dropped her hand. Again she chuckled. "and what if I say yes."

Hjejin pushed him inside the bathroom and slammed him on the wall, sliding her hand over his body affectionately but it was a torture for him because his desire was increasing every second.

"You really do like torturing me, don't you?"

She opened her mouth to kiss him but didn't. "I don't know, do I?"

Lee Rang grabbed her head from behind and pulled her mouth onto his, sliding his tongue in hers. In between the kisses he managed to say. "You talk a lot."

"You bring me here to tell me this." She gasped out of breath.

"No," he drawled, "I brought you here to do this."

And then, before she had a chance to utter a word, before she even had a chance to draw her breath, his mouth swooped down and captured hers in a hungry, searing kiss. His lips were voracious, taking everything she had to give and then demanding even more. The fire that glowed within them ignited even hotter than what they'd stoked last night in her room.

"You shouldn't do this to me," Lee Rang whispered against her mouth. "You shouldn't. Everything about you is absolutely wrong. And yet…" He didn't finish his words but his touch expressed everything.

Taking a few steps away from her, leaving her ajar with all those overwhelming feeling. It was his time to torture her.

Eyes looked into each other he slowly removed his pants and turned on the shower. The shower above Hjejin started pouring heavily above her and the oversized shirt sticked to her flesh making all her curves that was hiding because of his large shirt visible.

The more he stayed away from her, more he felt desire burning inside of him. When he took a step forward She also took a step forward and finally when they touch each other the shirt was thrown away from her body and soon there were more different noises coming from the bathroom than just the water pouring from the shower.

***

After eating breakfast Lee Rang head out or perhaps we should say dragged out by Hjejin from her apartment because she had to go to the station and he was making it hard for her.

After he left the apartment all the sad and upsetting thoughts slapped in his face as he remembered the truth about his life. He owned big dept to the creater of imoogi. If it wasn't for Hjejin he would probably be in despair.

In his life of 600 years no one really put faith in him like she did not even his own brother, he even abandoned him but she would never and for her he had to be on the right side. For that he had to find a way to break the deal and the only place he could find was the headquarters of Samdo River between the living realm and afterlife.

Rang disguised himself as Yeon and walked towards the gate completely ignoring the man who was supposed to be the gatekeeper of Samdo river

He hesitantly entered the place and saw the woman on the chair reading some papers, he got more closer and saw his own picture on the board of most wanted creatures. For the first time in his life he didn't feel proud.

"What would Hjejin think of this? Will she be devastated or angry or just disappointed?" He thought to himself.

"Look who's here." The woman with classes said with a smile which was not welcoming at all.

He didn't respond but said. "I came here to ask you something."

"Before that let me ask you something," She insisted, "Who do you think I am?"

Before he could say anything she shouted. "Answer me!"

"Master of Samdo river between the living realm and afterlife.

The woman smiled. "The last time I asked you that you said, I hope you get rheumatoid arthritis. Show yourself!"

"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath and with swift moment he was back to his original and true self, the real Lee Rang.

"Do you really think your little trick will work on me."

"I thought maybe it would."

She dropped the papers and crossed the hands together. "What should I do to you, send you to underworld."

"Can't you cut me some slack?"

"Yah!" She shouted. "What do you think this is a park to roam around? You would go to the underworld just like your brother." After hearing this Lee Rang's face paled but she continued. "Why? Isn't this what you wanted all along?"

He regained his composer and said "Of course you would know. Since you know, I'll be straight with you. I want to break the contract."

Taluipa answer him. "The gods used the debt contract to instill fear into them as a check of their power. The only way to break the contract is their death."

With that Lee Rang leave the building disappointed, he came here to find a solution to save his brother, to save his love Hjejin but it's always hard to be on good side. As he was in his own mind a hand dragged him towards the wall.

"Rather than thinking about breaking the deal, think about a way to untangle the mess." Hyun Eui, Taluipa's husband adviced.

Confused, Lee Rang asked. "What?"

"Keep in mind that all deals follow the rule of quid pro quo (equivalence)

Taluipa: the women Yeon call his granny, wears glasses is rude.

Hyun Eui: Gatekeeper and her husband
