Chief Kim And Assistant Manager Choi Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Chapter 65.

Siwoo was on his way to the parking lot when he received a text.

-Tonight. Come to my house.

He frowned at it. It had only been a week since he met Jihoon, and that night, they went straight to a hotel. Since then, Siwoo learned that Jihoon Kang was a very forceful and demanding guy.

It was a surprise and a disappointment, because when he first met Jihoon, Siwoo thought he was gentle and pleasant. He was clearly wrong.

“a.s.shole…”

Siwoo ignored the text and opened his car door. Just then, a large hand grabbed his waist.

“Siwoo…”

There were times when Siwoo loved his voice. This man was able to make Siwoo forget his first love, Shin Kim. When Siwoo turned to look, his ex-boyfriend with kind eyes was standing there.

“…”

Without answering him, Siwoo tried to get into his car, but Joowan grabbed his wrist and stopped him. Afraid he might hurt Siwoo, Joowan quickly loosened his grip, making Siwoo tear up.

As coldly as he could, Siwoo said to Joowan, “What do you want?”

“Why are you doing this to us, Siwoo?”

It was very late, well after Siwoo’s normal work hours. There weren’t many cars left in the office parking lot and Siwoo wondered how long Joowan had been waiting there. Siwoo felt worried Joowan might get a cold, but he quickly shook his head to get rid of this thought. Joowan wasn’t his problem anymore. It was over between them, and worrying about his ex-boyfriend was not healthy.

Siwoo frowned and twisted his wrist to pull it out from Joowan’s hand. Siwoo replied, “We broke up.”

“I never agreed to that.”

“Well, you should have thought of it before you lied to me. I never imagined you would do this to me.”

Siwoo feared he might start crying, so he got into his car quickly. Joowan tried to get in as well, but Siwoo stopped him with his hands. Joowan’s cold hand touched Siwoo’s cheek.

Joowan was a man of few words. Although he didn’t talk much, he also never lied. Joowan argued, “I didn’t actually lie to you.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me about him? And why won’t you still tell me about what went on?”

“Siwoo…”

“You betrayed me. You made me a fool.”

“… Siwoo…”

Joowan’s voice was like a warm summer night. Siwoo used to feel so comfortable and safe around him. Joowan added, “I know that you still care about me.”

“… Joowan.”

“Yes?”

“I really liked you. I really did.”

Siwoo took a deep breath as Joowan looked down at him.

Those deep black eyes… Siwoo knew he still loved him.

Siwoo continued, “It would be a lie if I said I still didn’t love you. I admit that.”

“…”

“But why won’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t think it was relevant or necessary.”

“Did you ever think of me whenever you met with that man? Every month!”

“Siwoo, he and I aren’t in a romantic relationship. It’s business related…”

“What business?”

“…”

“If it really was a business relationship, you would be able to tell me.”

Siwoo bit his lips. It was finally time.

Time to let Joowan go forever.

Suddenly, Joowan whispered, “Why did you meet with Jihoon Kang?”

“How do you know that?”

Siwoo looked up in shock. He felt gooseb.u.mps covering his arms. He asked angrily, “Are you following me or something?”

“…”

“You…”

“He is a dangerous man, Siwoo…”

Joowan’s voice was trembling. He looked down at Siwoo with worried eyes, making Siwoo remember the happy days they shared. Siwoo also remembered the first time they met.

The first thing Siwoo noticed about Joowan was his long arms and cold hands. There was a small star-shaped tattoo on his palm. Joowan looked so kind and Siwoo fell for him immediately.

Siwoo replied, “Let’s be honest here, Joowan. You don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

“…”

“Because we are over.”

Siwoo’s heart broke just then, but closing his eyes tightly, he forced the door shut. He rested his head on the handle and waited. The car door wasn’t locked, but Joowan didn’t try to get in. He just stood there silently.

They stayed like that for a while and when Siwoo looked up, Joowan was gone. Siwoo started the car immediately.

He needed to be with someone tonight.

Anyone.

***

It had been a while since Woojin was at the Seoul train station. Woojin liked to take trains and the subway. When he was in Germany, he had to drive, but in Korea, he no longer needed to. The public transportation system was excellent here, and besides, Woojin hated driving, in Seoul especially where the roads were always busy. There were too many cars on the streets.

“… 7:30 PM.”

In 15 minutes, the train was going to arrive. In Korea, trains were rarely late, unlike in Germany. Woojin stared at the schedule monitor and cringed because of the cold. When he exhaled, he could see his own breath clearly. For some reason, he felt like smiling.

He heard the train arriving loudly. The metallic sound was booming. When the train stopped, his heart began to pound fast.

How strange.

“…”

Woojin looked around, trying to look at everyone coming out. He looked for a while, but he didn’t see Shin anywhere.

He decided that he needed to call Shin. Woojin took out his cellphone when suddenly, a warm hand grabbed his wrist.

“…What are you doing here?”

“Huh?”

It was Shin Kim, wearing a warm coat and a cozy grey wool scarf. It was nighttime, but Shin looked like a ray of sunshine. Woojin put his cellphone back into his pocket and they walked to the escalator quickly.

Shin asked, “It’s so cold outside. Why didn’t you wait at home?”

“…”

Without a word, Woojin looked up at Shin. He was still holding his hand, and it felt so warm. Woojin reached up to touch Shin’s eyebrow, but quickly pulled back, worried that his cold hand might feel unpleasant. Shin, biting his lips, took Woojin’s hand and placed it inside his coat.

Woojin’s lips were dry.

Shin continued, “I wasn’t sure at first if it was you. I almost just pa.s.sed by you.”

“I’m glad you found me.”

“Your hands are so cold. Just how long have you been waiting here?”

Shin leaned against Woojin and inhaled deeply. He desperately wished that they were alone. Making sure no one was looking at them, Shin held Woojin’s face in his hands and whispered, “What are you doing to me…”

“…”

“You drive me crazy…”

Shin felt almost sick wanting to kiss Woojin. When Woojin kissed Shin’s hand, Shin almost looked beastly. Shin kissed Woojin’s hand as well, making Woojin moan quickly.

It was getting too hot.

Shin whispered to Woojin, “I want to do it right now…”

Woojin knew exactly what Shin was talking about, and he felt his body tense up because he felt the same way. With his trembling hands, Woojin reached up to grab Shin’s neck. Shin lowered his face and bit Woojin’s neck. It was not a gentle bite, which made Woojin feel even more excited.

Woojin whispered, “Let’s go somewhere…”

“…”

“Anywhere… right now.”

Woojin thought he heard Shin laugh. Their fingers intertwined.
