The car was empty.

After a man in his fifties, who was lying on the elderly seats at the end, got off, only Maru and Bangjoo were left in the car.

“Its like we have the whole train to ourselves.”

“Youre right.”

Bangjoo looked around before lying down on the floor and took a photo of himself.

Maru chuckled when he saw that.

“When else would I get to do something like this The train is so quiet.”

“Give it to me.

Ill take a good photo of you.”

Maru took a photo of Bangjoo, who got into a proper pose, from the other end of the car.

At his age, events like this would become memorable moments.

Bangjoo smiled in satisfaction after looking at the photo.

“Are you going to upload it to your cy[1]”

“I dont do that.”

“Thats unexpected.

I thought kids these days all did it.”

“I dont really want to tell others what Im doing.

Its fine as long as the ones that need to know, know about it.”

Maru nodded once.

For a brief moment, Bangjoo had a mature smile on his face.

Perhaps it was natural to think about the world differently from those of his age since his sister was a top star.

“But seonbae-nim.”

“Yeah”

“Didnt you feel angry back there If it was up to me, I dont think I couldve done that.

I mean, you were hit.

Quite strongly at that.”

“You get upset about all sorts of things.”

“Eh Youre not upset about it”

“If its a matter of being angry or not, then yes, I do feel angry.

Im not a pervert, so theres no way Id feel pleased when I get hit.

But theres also nothing to gain by becoming angry.”

“Nothing to gain”

“Bangjoo.”

“Yes.”

“No matter how crappy someones personality is, you should really hold back if that someones higher than you.

Going against him like what you did back there is not that good.”

“I… dont think I can do that.”

“Well, I guess its definitely hard for you if you have the same traits as your sister.

Your sister is aright person after all.”

“My sister”

“Thats not all.

Shes also amazing.

Normally, people cant do that.

If I was in that situation, at least, I wouldnt be able to do it.

Peoples gazes, right Those things definitely dont have any physical power.

No matter how many death glares I give you, you wont die after all.

But for some weird reason, when those powerless gazes combine, they suddenly possess the power to bury a person out of existence without breaking a sweat.

Your sister, she fought against the media, didnt she Moreover, she also fought against the people that insulted her.

She still might be at odds with people who ask bad things of her, you know Not anyone can just do that.”

“...Im not sure about her being right, but I agree that shes amazing.”

“People like you and your sister will end up fighting.

You dont care about the opponents weight class.

You will enter the ring based on absolute values such as whether something is right or wrong.

Those people dont worry about getting hit.

Theyre solely focused on solving the injustice in front of their eyes.

They are great people worth admiring, and theyre people that should be cheered for.

But if I was asked if I want to be like that, I would shake my head.”

Maru looked at Bangjoo with a smile.

Bangjoo scratched his head with an awkward smile.

He seemed to have understood a little of what he said.

“You know.

Youre like… an adult.”

“An adult Im just a man with a lot of fears.

In fact, its you whos more like an adult since youve been living alone since middle school.

Wasnt it hard”

“It wasnt that hard when I thought of it as just doing some more bothersome things.

Oh, it was a little hard when I had to lie down in bed due to sickness during the winter.”

“Theres nothing harder than being by yourself when youre sick.

But it should be better now that your sister comes home frequently, right”

“Shes coming home too frequently.

I dont think she has any plans on getting married.

She never brought home a boyfr….”

Bangjoo stopped talking and made a bitter smile.

Maru didnt say anything and just looked out the window on the other side.

The train was just exiting a tunnel.

“Do you think its better to just hold it in when something like that happens”

“If you can, itll be better.

In the perspective of good or bad rather than right or wrong, I mean.

However, there are times when you must get angry.”

“And when is that”

“Thats when someones trying to take something away from you.

Thats when you get angry.

You have to flip the table and cause a huge ruckus.

Even if you usually submit to one person, you need to get angry when that person wants to take something away from you.

In that context, the scariest people in the world are those that always seem to suck up to others.”

“Why”

“Because no one can be sure of the size of that persons anger if he or she does erupt.

Scammers dont look like scammers, right Scary people dont look scary.

They are polite and usually very generous.

They look like theyre making losses from what they do.

But the more a person acts like that, the better you should act towards them.

You never know what such a person is thinking.

Of course, there are also people like Daemyung who are gentle down to their bones.”

“Daemyung-seonbae-nim is really kind.”

“Hes worryingly so.”

“Hm, then I guess youre a dangerous person in a sense.”

“Me”

“Yes.

You held back last time.”

“I just told you, didn\'t I Im just a man with a lot of fears.”

“Is that how it is”

“Thats how it is, Mr.

Ahn Bangjoo.”

Maru straightened his back as he tapped Bangjoo on the cheek with the back of his hand.

* * *

“You should go back first.”

“What about you, hyung-nim”

“Damn kid, just go when I tell you to.

Youre terribly disobedient.”

Lee Hyuk slapped the manager on the back of his head before getting off.

Only after seeing the van disappear into the distance did he calm down and start walking.

He walked past the hotel lobby and grabbed an elevator.

He got off the elevator while muttering the room number and checked the number on each door as he walked.

“Is this the place”

After gulping several times in order to ease his throat, he took out his phone and called someone.

After checking that the signal repeated itself three times, he quickly hung up.

He had to be as careful as possible.

Soon, the door opened.

The one that opened the door was a cute girl with a bob cut.

She seemed to be just past 20.

Lee Hyuk put on an awkward smile at the girl who flinched after seeing his face.

“U-uhm.”

“There are people inside, right”

“Yes.”

“Is this your first time here”

“I can tell that youre a trainee, but lets not pretend we know each other.

You should know that this is a masquerade without the masks.

Ill also pretend that I never saw you when I come across you outside, so dont worry about that.”

The girl nodded.

She was wearing a black silk one piece dress, which revealed her cleavage every time she moved.

It didnt look like she was wearing any underwear either.

Normally, he would have pleased his eyes to the utmost, but right now, he didnt have the leisure to do that.

The calm music that flowed out made him tenser.

This was a party room that required millions if not tens of millions of won to rent per day.

He didnt have the leisure to appreciate any of the pop art on either side of the corridor as he walked in.

While he was walking, he heard a womans moan from his left, but he ignored it.

He didnt have the courage to open the door and look inside.

The first thing he saw when he went in was the large glass window which allowed him to see the entirety of Seoul, and the second thing he saw was the people who were appreciating some drinks lightly.

The man that was giggling with the ladies on a white sofa looked at him.

Lee Hyuk tried his best to ignore that gaze and walked around in order to find the person that called him here.

“Oh, my.

If it isnt Lee Hyuk.”

One of the girls he met eyes with approached him with a smile.

Lee Hyuk did not know who this girl was.

However, just from the fact that she acted so boldly here, he knew that he had to be polite with her.

If it was before he screwed up his business, that is, four years ago, he wouldve held his head up in pride, but right now, he had to be an obedient dog.

He lowered his head at the girl who touched him like a toy before walking further inside like he was running away.

Just as he was looking around like a foreigner in a new place,

“Over here.”

A voice could be heard inside a room with a bed in it.

Lee Hyuk put on a smile and walked towards that place.

The woman sitting on the bed puffed on a cigarette before putting the cigarette on an ashtray.

“One of the CEOs of my business partners enjoys appreciating the smell of cigarettes like this, and well, it is quite decent.

Its horrible when you do it with domestic cigarettes, but the imported ones have a good smell.

Oh, please sit.

I guess I was talking too much by myself when theres a guest around.”

Lee Hyuk obediently sat on a chair when he heard the womans words.

His mouth felt very dry.

The woman was in her late twenties.

She was younger than him, but aroundhere, age was merely a number that did not have any significance.

“Come here, have a drink.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Oppa.

Youre a lot older than me so dont use polite speech towards me.

Lets drop the honorifics, alright I think its been four years since we met.”

“This is more comfortable for me.”

“Haha, there you go again, oppa.”

Lee Hyuk pretended not to have heard her sayyoure pretty good right after that.

He put down the glass after drinking it.

“How was the shoot”

“Good, thanks to you.”

“How is it thanks to me Its all because of your efforts.

Come and sit over here.”

The woman spoke as she shifted her chest length long hair to one side with her hand.

Lee Hyuk sat obediently in front of her.

“Oppa, you really become more my style every day.

This is really a problem.

Ive never been engrossed with a man for such a long time before.”

Lee Hyuk clenched his teeth when he felt the hand that stroked his neck.

“Looks like youre still working out”

“Ah, yes.”

“Oh my.

Look at that sturdy chest.

Men are really attractive when theyre past thirty.

Oppa, I really like you because I dont get fed up with you.

Youre so good at managing yourself.”

“Because Im an actor after all.”

“Aha~n.

Actor, you were an actor, thats right.

I almost mistook you for a dog I raised.

Haha, then Im a woman who gets horny for a dog, huh How lewd.”

Lee Hyuk flinched when a hand reached inside his pants, but he relaxed after seeing the womans gaze becoming sharp.

“I am really tired these days.

I mean, work keeps screwing up.

So, I want to relieve some stress this time.

Oh, before that, though.

Theres something I need to do.

Lets give the kind oppa a present for now.”

The girl handed him a box.

When he opened the box, there was a watch inside.

“Its a limited edition, apparently.

It costs around 80 mil.

Put it on.”

He smiled even though he felt insulted as well.

He put the watch on and showed it to the girl.

The girl smiled back at him.

“It suits you.

You should wear it from now on.”

“Yes, maam.”

“Its almost time too.”

At that moment, a boy opened the door and entered.

“Hey, what are you going to do if this noona was doing something strange”

“At that time, Ill just quietly close the door and leave.”

“Geez, how bold of you.”

Lee Hyuk nodded towards that boy.

“We meet again, Lee Hyuk-seonbae-nim.”

“Ah, yes.”

Lee Hyuk licked his lips as he spoke.

“Mr.

Kang Giwoo.”
