Seventh Chapter

It had already been pretty much minutes, the cell phone kept ringing as the missed calls and messages flooded it but the man just ignored it as he focused on his driving and reaching the destination.

“Good day, Sir Jungwoo.” The guard at the first entrance greeted as soon as Jungwoo reached the area. The latter nodded and drove further reaching another gate.

Another guard by the gate stood from his spot and went nearer to Jungwoo's car. “Welcome Sir Jungwoo. Junior Master has been waiting for you, glad to see you here. Shall I swipe the card key for you?” The man asked the latter in case he preferred since Mark had already provided him his access card to his house as he had kind of become a regular visitor. The surroundings and the servants didn't feel any more strange to Jungwoo. In fact a few servants had become quite friendly to him, acknowledging the timings of his arrivals or departures, acknowledging his preferences and situations. Just like the one at this moment.

Even though Jungwoo could just go inside by himself without any authorization, he still sometimes preferred others' assistance. Especially when he ran out of time. And today it did seem as if he was running late. “Sure please.” Responded Jungwoo and the guard did as asked. The latter thanked him and went inside and to his surprise, the shorter fine man was standing outside the building by his car. Probably waiting for him. Jungwoo got off and rushed to the man.

“I'm sorry Mark. Got a little late.”

“Not little though. But the indigestible thing is that you didn't even respond to my pings.” The latter said while crossing his hands in disapproval.

“Yeah I know. Sorry again, I was driving.”

The younger shook his head. “Just get in already.” He said as he and started shifting in the driver's seat while Jungwoo went in the passenger one after giving his car key to the servant for parking his car in Mark's home parking lot.

“You again used the perfume I gave you.” Mark blurted out taking the elder's attention as they started buckling on their seatbelts.

“Not really. The one you had gifted me was finished so I had to purchase a new one. Though, I've to admit that it smells really good.” Jungwoo exclaimed and they both chuckled lightly. “It suits you, though. We can purchase more on our way.” Mark added and the latter could just blurt,

“Thanks. You too. You too smell really good.”

Mark laughed lightly and maybe it was the first time Jungwoo heard him laughing openly without any mocking intention. “I don't use perfume.” Mark confessed and Jungwoo felt his cheeks reddening a little at the realization of his previous words. To change the topic immediately, he started speaking, “Anyways, why are you driving? Shouldn't you ask your driver to drive us?”

“Slaves are only meant to work what they're assigned for. Not to acknowledge the process or purpose behind it. They have no authority to object or protest.” The younger answered again in his cocky and mockery tone. Jungwoo just frowned in disgust but didn't say anything more, he sure regretted asking that question. He actually regretted many things but he probably didn't care about anything anymore. The car then started as they went on their way.

The area was really weird with full of awkward people drinking and throwing up here and there. The roadways were not clean and an awful smell made it worse but thankfully Mark's car had such an extensive fragrance inside. To avoid the smell, Jungwoo checked if all the windows were closed. He personally disliked such an environment, especially because he himself had lived in such an environment and it reminded him of his past.

“Where are we heading?” He interrogated the younger.

“Kang Daniel's garage. According to the information I've received, he's probably the only man in

Seoul who does such a business of renting unidentified, abandoned vehicles or maybe even sources.

Since it's a black market, nothing is authorized anyways.”

The taller raised his brows at the fact that the younger was for sure a sensitive and expensive person yet he acted all cool in such an area. “Is this place comfortable for you? I mean, you can see what kind of people are hanging around in here. Are you used to it?”

The latter chuckled emotionlessly before answering, “No. I'm not. But then again, what kind of love is that, which doesn't make you cross your limitations?”

Jungwoo decided not to ask nor say anything further. They just both stayed silent as Mark kept driving further.

Soon they arrived at their destination and got off the car entering the garage. Jungwoo looked around and a few drunken teens were around the entrance. They were eyeing them as if they saw something unusual. Something they didn't get to see regularly. But what was more disturbing is that they were eyeing Mark more intensely. As if they were preying or something. He then looked at Mark who didn't seem to notice anything as he was busy on his phone. The elder went nearer to Mark as to show that the younger wasn't alone. He was with him.

“Yes. It's the right place. Let's go.” The latter confirmed and they both went in.

They both met with a man who seemed around Jungwoo's age. Quite tall but not taller than the latter. Fine muscled body with a bunny-like facial feature. Jungwoo remembered his boss but it wasn't the time to remember about his workplace.

The man went by their side and welcomed them. “Welcome to Daniel's, Mr. Mark Lee and Mr.?”

He interrogated while looking at Jungwoo along with moving his hand forward for a handshake.

“Jungwoo Kim.” Jungwoo answered and shook their hands.

The man then moved his hand towards Mark and waited for the latter to take it. Mark looked down at his hand and then back at his face as he started speaking, “I believe my staffs had already informed you about the purpose we are here. I also hope that you already have arranged the product we have requested so kindly let's not waste any more time and get done with the business already.”

The man chuckled while nodding and taking his hand back which was unfortunately rejected by

Mark. “Yeah, yeah. Please follow me.”

They went to a parking room where Daniel showed them a jet black four wheeler with literally no identified symbols or numbers. It was entirely black and blank.

“This was the best I could manage following the instructions your people had given to me. I hope this is satisfying.”

“As long as it is unable to be verified in any way, it's fine.” Mark exclaimed while springing his credit card out.

“Please, the swiping machine is in my office. Let's get the payment done in there.” The garage owner asked to which Mark nodded and followed him behind.

The man opened the door of his office for Mark while smiling widely at him though the latter didn't offer a smile back. The man then himself went in closing the door as well as locking it.

Which caught Mark off guard.

“The fuck is-” Mark couldn't complete his sentence when the other pushed him and pinned on the wall roughly. His card fell onto the ground as he tried to release his wrist from the man's grip.

“The hell you're doing! Get your disgusting self off of me you freaking bastard- Mhhm…” Mark's voice muffled as the latter covered his mouth.

“You don't know how hard it's for me to keep myself off especially when seeing an expensive doll like you. An expensive doll which people keep safely into their showcase because they know how sensitive and delicate they are.” The man reached Mark's ear and started nibbling making the latter shiver. “How sensitive and delicate you are.”

He then started kissing his jaw rolling down to his neck. Mark tried pushing the man away but the latter's grip went harder. “Wondering how sensitive your inner heaven will be? How good it'd feel to play and wreck you right here, right now.”

CRACK!

The sound of door breaking took the man's attention but before he could even process, he was already punched in the face and knocked down on the ground. “Fuck you Jungwoo Kim! How dare you to hit me in my own office!” He tried standing and fighting but another smack landed on him making him groan and unable to move.

Mark looked at the scene and at the two in silence for a few moments. Daniel laying down almost unconscious and Jungwoo just standing by his side. The taller then turned back facing the younger.

“Are you alright?” Jungwoo asked Mark and noticed there was already a light bruise on his neck. It made his blood boil.

“Y-yes. Let's get going. We are already running out of time.” Mark said and left forgetting about his fallen card.

Jungwoo approached where Mark was standing and picked up the card and started leaving.

Though, he stopped by the door and looked for one last time at the helpless man.

“Don't you dare to touch him in this life.”
