PASSION (Novel)
PASSION Chapter 10 – Peach Boy



Jeong Taeui checked the drawers, wardrobe and desk.
However, it was not completely cleaned, so there were still a few clothes,
books, and small items left. It seems that the empty closet without a speck of
dust was the one previously used by the deceased.

Either way, that person will not return. But you
can’t arbitrarily touch places that already have owners. Jeong Taeui carefully
looked around the room. He had left his luggage behind with the other group, so
there was nothing to organize, nor was there anything important that needed to
be kept carefully. Anyway, my uncle kept insisting to me that he was in a hurry
and didn’t have time, and I didn’t bring anything with me except what I needed
in the next half a year. It was said that everything from clothes, uniforms,
even underwear to toothbrushes were given to each person here, so he didn’t
bring anything.

The most important thing in that bag is…. The key,
right? The key thrown into his bag… was the key that he needed half a year
later. < Taeui’s house key 😀 >

Before going out, he cleaned the house once more and
left a simple message for his brother who didn’t know when he would return.

He wonders what Jaeui is doing now. But no matter
what he does or where he is, Taeui doesn’t need to worry about him. Because
even if his plane crashes, there’s nothing to worry about.

No matter where he is, as long as he wants, you will
see him again. Because whatever he wants can be easily done.

 

Jeong Taeui walked to the neatly arranged bed and
lay down.

His body was tired but the sleepiness didn’t last as
long as he thought. The spirit is strangely alert.

In the near future, he will be here alone. Quiet and
comfortable but there are also inconveniences for someone who has just come
here for the first time. If you want to ask something small, you have to knock
on someone else’s door.

Thinking of that, Jeong Taeui suddenly opened his
eyes and looked up at the ceiling and then slowly stood up.

He wouldn’t lock the door anyway, so he didn’t
really need a room key. But there must still be rules of living here. He
doesn’t know where to eat or what to do tomorrow morning.

Tou said there was someone named Xin Lu. As for
Kyoho, are those people from the logistics side?

Jeong Taeui scratched his head and stood up from the
bed. It’s only been half a year but he feels like he is about to go through a
thousand years.

It’s true that if you don’t strangle your uncle
once, the discomfort in your heart won’t be relieved. So on the way up, he had
to stop by his uncle’s room in the first basement to massage that face a bit
before he was satisfied.

*************

Jeong Taeui clicked his tongue.

He didn’t think he could get lost in this building,
even though this was his first time coming here. And even lost in a place
that’s only as big as an elementary school playground.

All problems start from that elevator.

He knew clearly the location of the elevator Tou
took him to. It’s an old-looking elevator located right at the corner of the
stairs. Even though he passed by this place or that place a few times, he still
couldn’t forget the road he passed that one time.

So, it would be better to go by that elevator, but
that elevator is located far from Jeong Taeui’s room. He didn’t think he would
leave the room and then go further just to take that elevator.

Because the structure of each floor in the building
is relatively similar. Even if there are differences in layout, these types of
buildings are remarkably similar in terms of architectural design.

So, Jeong Taeui thought he could just take the
closer elevator and then go in the opposite direction from the original.

“Damned. What kind of design is this building?
Doesn’t it look completely different from the floor below?”

This was the first time in his life he had seen a
building with a completely different floor structure like this. It’s okay to
have different hallways, even the location of the bathroom is
different,…speechless. Isn’t such a design absurd and not useful at all? So
what about the drainage system?

Within ten minutes of wandering around this floor,
he found a few more elevators, but they weren’t the one he was looking for.
That must be the elevator at the corner of the stairs.

No matter how strange the design of this building
is, the elevator location on each floor cannot be different. If there is a
building with such four-dimensional architecture, should you report it to the
architectural association?

“Damned. Why is there no one here at all?”

Come to think of it, most of the people here are
concentrated on the 5th or 6th floor, and normally, if nothing special happens,
they won’t go to the first basement to do anything. But even so, Jeong Taeui
couldn’t hold back a few curses when he set foot on this floor.

When he was in the army, he was very confident in
his ability to read maps. No, without even needing a map, he had a pretty good
sense of direction, never getting lost even when he had to carry his backpack
on his back and cross a shortcut that was closer than the main road in the
forest with a not very alert spirit when he did not sleep well the night
before.

In this building, you can’t even have a map and can
only rely entirely on feeling.

Uncle, you and everyone have worked really hard. How
can you live in a building like this?

Jeong Taeui gritted his teeth and stopped, trying to
estimate the position. He didn’t know the entire structure of this building and
didn’t know what the inner wall had, but he slowly thought back to the distance
he had traveled since entering this building…. Of course it’s still unclear.
Then he can just wander around until he finds it.

Jeong Taeui sighed. Even though he knew it wasn’t a
good way, he still moved forward aimlessly.

The hallway he was walking through seemed to be
similar to the lower floor, and had identical doors symmetrical in a zigzag
pattern with each other.

Perhaps these rooms, like the downstairs, are the
living rooms of someone who has to stay here. Probably from the higher-ups in
this building…. … sometimes he has come to the right place without even
realizing it.

Think about that for a moment. Jeong Taeui sighed
when he saw a glass sliding door at the end of his vision.

Not.

Just now Tou led him past the bathroom and it looked
like this. Open the glass sliding door and go inside, there will be another
frosted glass door, go further inside and turn to the dressing room, inside is
the bathroom.

“But why do high-ranking litigants
even use the same bathroom? Or that’s not the bathroom.” Jeong Taeui stopped
one step in front of that door.

Even though it wasn’t good, he was still a
little curious. Time is not urgent, finding an uncle’s room is not a big
problem. Just go down by any elevator on this floor to the 6th basement floor
or go back to the ground and then find the same elevator as the one he got in
at first. “If we’re lost and have to go around everywhere like this,
should we take a shower?”

Jeong Taeui opened the bathroom door while muttering
desperately. As expected it was also a bathroom. When he opened the opaque door
inside, a wall appeared as a partition like the one on the lower floor, inside
it was a dressing room.

There’s a person in there. < Guess who >

As soon as Jeong Taeui opened the door and walked
in, he seemed very surprised. “um….ah….. that.”

The person in front looked at him with wide eyes, he
looked more like a boy than a grown man. And there can be no minors in this
building. He was only wearing a pair of pants as if he had just finished
showering, still holding a shirt in his hand. No, his hair wasn’t wet so he was
probably planning to take a shower.

Jeong Taeui was motionless for a moment.

Oh, it seems you made some mistake. But there’s
nothing worth calling a mistake, it’s just a chance encounter. But anyway, it
seems like he made a mistake, so why does he need to apologize?

That thought flashed across his empty mind. But
Jeong Taeui still couldn’t find any reason, because his smooth, pink,
peach-like skin attracted all his attention. It’s so soft that if you touch it,
the fluff will feel just as smooth. His body smelled faintly of soap, or was it
the smell of milk? < 👀 >

At that moment, Jeong Taeui suddenly became
confused. It seemed like he knew why he felt like he had made a mistake. But
that reason wasn’t very reasonable either, he hadn’t even seen what was
underneath that boy. Then why?

At that time, his face appeared with a mischievous
smile when he said that violating minors is a crime in this country. No, but
this branch has no minors so it cannot be said to be a crime. It would even be
odd to make it a crime just because a man accidentally saw another man naked.

Perhaps Jeong Taeui’s confused expression was all
over his face. His awkward appearance, not knowing what to do, was reflected in
that young man’s eyes. His surprised expression quickly disappeared and was
replaced by a calm face as usual.

“This is the first time I see you… Who are you?”

The young man asked quietly. Jeong Taeui was once
again shocked. Even that voice sounded childish. How should I say it, that way
of speaking softly and keeping distance in speech seems new. That’s it. If
someone thought he was a minor, it wouldn’t be unusual.

Jeong Taeui covered his mouth with his hand to hide
his embarrassment, but he didn’t realize that that gesture looked even more
embarrassing.

Wouldn’t it be rude to ask him how old he is?

“Sorry but… How old are you?”

Even though he thought so, Jeong Taeui still
couldn’t help but ask that boy. As if guessing the reason from Jeong Taeui’s
bewildered face and gesture, the young man replied with a slightly annoyed and
annoyed voice.

“Twenty-two. But who are you?”

Twenty-two. Still young, but even if you touch it,
you won’t be charged with anything… No, how could you think like that!

“um…. Do you work here?”

Jeong Taeui felt sorry that this seemingly honest
young man had to work among those ferocious and rough people. In the situation
surrounded by poisonous snakes on all sides.

By that time, the discomfort was even more evident
on that guy’s face. That face seemed to be wondering who the hell this guy was,
suddenly barging into someone else’s bathroom and not even answering a
question, then talking nonsense and treating him like a child.

“Which team are you from and which deputy minister
are you subordinate to? Or did you come here to hear some news from me? Are you
coming as a warden or an officer?”

He said coldly with an icy face.

Only then did Jeong Taeui startle as if he had just
woken up from a dream and scratched his neck. It seemed like his mood became so
unpleasant because of him.

“I got lost….I was just going to see officer Jeong.”

“Is it officer Jeong Changin? Exit this room, go all
the way and then turn right, go all the way to the dead end, then turn right
again from there, look to the right and you’ll see the elevator. Turn to the
right corner and go to the second room next to it.”

“Um… okay.”

Even though it was an insincere answer, it was still
very helpful. If you can calculate the direction, it will be easy to find.
“Then…. Thank you.”

Jeong Taeui greeted awkwardly. That young man still
showed an uncomfortable expression but still shrugged as an answer. His bare
shoulders seemed to shine.

Now he just need to leave this place, but Jeong
Taeui’s legs refuse to move. Such a beautiful young man, it would be nice if he
could see a little more. He immediately turned his eyes towards to Taeui as he
spoke and moved.

“Still not going?”

It looked like he was about to take off his clothes.
The young man threw the shirt into the basket and began to unbuckle his belt as
if he wanted to take off his pants. Seeing Jeong Taeui still standing there, he
frowned in suspicion.

Jeong Taeui blushed. He was embarrassed for no
reason.

“No… …I will go. So, see you soon.”

Jeong Taeui waved and left the bathroom without
looking back. He walked slowly to the right as the young man said. He had to
walk all the way to the end of the street before his mind calmed down a bit.
Jeong Taeui raised his hand to hug his cheek, even his ears felt hot.

Jeong Taeui was embarrassed and stood rooted to the
spot. Then shake your head, turn to the right and walk away.

He is not an excitable person. He often heard people
say that he was a bit indifferent and like a stone made of wood. But the
reality is that even if he’s embarrassed, he won’t show it on his face. But
now, even without looking in the mirror, he knows how embarrassed his face is.

“Damned…. Why didn’t you tell me there was such
a young boy?”

Jeong Taeui tried blaming his poor clueless uncle
for once. Of course there was no reply.

He had been like this once before. The way the mind
suddenly goes blank and he can only be confused and hesitant. Memories of that
past have fallen into oblivion.

That was when he was still a young student. Jeong
Taeui – a teenager who always wanted to grow up soon, or in a bad way, tried
everything he could (to prove that he was mature) since he was a high school
student . He has slept with both men and women. And soon realized that he was
attracted to other men than women. And other men’s soft bodies when hugged were
more to his taste. < 😳…J..junior? Tae, you’re such a
play boiz >

When you go to a friend’s house on summer vacation
and meet that friend’s cousin. It seems that person has become his first love.

Not too skinny, his skin is smooth and white, his
big eyes and cute expression are like cotton candy.

At that time, he was exactly the same as now.

The face feels hot, the heart beats fast, his mind
goes blank, and his breathing trembles.

He used an excuse to go to his friend’s house a few
days later and gradually got to know his cousin. Although their relationship
has become closer, every time he sees him, he still feels nervous. Even his
eyes couldn’t help but glance at that smooth skin.

Not long after, that friend’s cousin returned home
after the end of summer vacation and also ended Jeong Taeui’s empty first love.

Even after that, Jeong Taeui’s taste is still guys
who are cute, adorable, fresh and make his heart melt.

But guys of the same age or even older than him with
looks like that are rare to find. So he almost never really saw anyone like
that anymore. Occasionally, if he was impressed by someone with a similar
appearance in the club (Bar club), he would just happily satisfy them.

However, he never thought that someone exactly like
him would appear in a remote place like this.

“What should I do….”

Jeong Taeui muttered.

What to do now. Why is there someone so exactly like
your taste here?

Actually, thinking back, it’s unlikely that the two
would have gone to bed together. He had absolutely no intention of raping or
sexually harassing another person, so if it was a straight guy, he would end up
here. That probability is very high. Even if he was lucky enough to have the
same sexual orientation as you, your time here would only be half a year.

What should I do now? Jeong Taeui muttered without
knowing what to do.

Meanwhile, the long hallway ended. Jeong Taeui
looked at the wall in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh, then turned
right again.

Sure enough, as that young man said, the elevator is
right next to the stairs. That was the elevator that Tou had taken him down in
the beginning.

“Turn right at the second, second turn error….
That’s right.”

Jeong Taeui moved according to what that young man said. He quickly
found his uncle’s room.
