Passion Translation "Fanfictions"

Vol 1 - Chapter 22: I've slept with men before.

"A few years ago, there was a guy who tried to kill him to avenge his close colleague. Unfortunately, that guy was quite handsome and ended up being hospitalized for life. So... in the end, there's no karma here. He couldn't get his revenge and was crushed by that monster... Many people, unable to beat him, vent their frustration on themselves."

"That's... really unfortunate."

"Yeah... That's how it is. His character is terrible no matter how you look at it. But sometimes, you're unlucky enough to run into him, and it won't end well."

After saying this, Tou glanced at Jeong Taeui in the mirror and smiled.

"But don't worry. With your looks, you don't need to worry about unnecessary things. Just worry about your life."

"Oh, thanks."

Jeong Taeui said through gritted teeth, raising his hand to give Tou a smack on the neck.

A young and beautiful guy... For example... someone like Xinlu?

Jeong Taeui frowned as he thought about someone who fit all those criteria perfectly. If so, wouldn't that be Xinlu?

"Doesn't that mean Xinlu needs to be cautious too?!"

Jeong Taeui grabbed Tou's wrist and shouted, making Tou blink and look back at him.

"Uh... yeah. Thinking about it, you're right. But well, no member would dare confront someone from the office. Even he would have a hard time if he messes with someone there."

"Right... I guess... right?"

"..."

Jeong Taeui, nodding, suddenly raised his voice. Tou gave him a blank look as if to say, "Oh, you idiot." Only then did Jeong Taeui shrink back and close his mouth.

"Even if you're not worried, the staff knows how to handle themselves. If Rick comes here, just worry about your own life. No one but yourself will look out for you."

Exactly. Before worrying about others, he wasn't even confident enough to secure his own life.

"Hmm... I hope there's some issue with their personnel and Rick doesn't come."

Jeong Taeui prayed silently with a sliver of hope, knowing the chances were slim.

"Yeah, that would be great. But anyway, they're coming tonight, so we'll find out then."

"They must be in Hong Kong by now."

"Yeah. Hope they get here with their heads still spinning from jet lag."

Jeong Taeui laughed as Tou pretended to slice his own neck. That joke lightened some of the dark images clouding his mind.

Only a few hours left. By then, Jeong Taeui would meet the people he had only heard about in rumors. Though it was entirely different from what he expected, Jeong Taeui felt a bit excited and nervous.

"All right, they said we have to report to the office after moving rooms. They need to check."

Tou said while wiping his mouth with a towel as he passed Jeong Taeui. It made him jump.

"If we go to the office, we'll probably see Xinlu, right? Since he's in charge of internal affairs, we'll definitely have to talk to him. You must be thrilled, Taeil."

Tou smiled and gently elbowed Jeong Taeui's side. He dodged and evasively replied, "Mmm."

No. It's not that he didn't want to see him. Jeong Taeui wanted to meet him and hear that soft voice; he also liked the smell of the fragrant soap. But he wasn't confident to face him now. Somehow, if he saw Xinlu now, Jeong Taeui felt he'd freeze on the spot.
