Speak of The Devil

Hmm. Scratching the back of my head with a subtle sense of regret, I eventually turned my body. Seeing the dismissive attitude despite reaching this point, I realized no matter how much I protested, the door wouldn’t be opened again.“Nope. Absolutely not. Just go and get some sleep.”Returning to my sleeping quarters, I took off my gown and lay down on the bed, the image of the face that had been angry coming to mind.“Please.”I couldn’t tell if it was anger or pleading… A smirk crept onto my face at that thought.Well, whatever. Today isn’t the only day. If I just get through the tenth time, I can live without seeing it. Until then, if I can torture enough, it wouldn’t be so bad.Though my body was slightly disappointed at not getting warmer, my mood was delightful.I fell into a deep sleep without dreaming, feeling content enough to sleep soundly.***Knock, knock. I heard a knocking sound. Having slept enough to be vaguely awakened by even the slightest noise, I realized it must be time for breakfast as the maid had come to wake me.“Lee Nan. If you’re awake, come eat.”However, contrary to my expectations, the voice coming from outside the door was Jung Yiyeon’s. Both the knock and the voice were so subtle, as if not intending to wake me, yet it was definitely Jung Yiyeon’s.I didn’t expect him to come wake me himself. I got up from bed, quickly washed my face, and went downstairs in my gown. My face felt a bit swollen, and my hair was in disarray.I greeted the housemaid and sat down at the dining table. I sat across from Jung Yiyeon. He was playing with his phone, and when he looked at me, he furrowed his brow slightly. I must have looked pitiful.Or maybe he still disliked seeing me in my gown. I had dressed properly, tied my waistband carefully, so there shouldn’t have been any problem.Ignoring his disapproving gaze with a smile, I chuckled.“Do you enjoy looking at your phone alone?”He had the audacity to take my phone without permission and play with it right in front of me. As I threw a remark, Jung Yiyeon looked a bit more serious.“Jung Yiyeon seems to be getting worse with his manners by the day. Still, he used to at least greet people before, didn’t he?” This was a conversation from when I worked as his secretary. He used to be someone who, despite being so indifferent to the point of not knowing someone’s name for six months, still managed to handle basic greetings well. “Good morning. Have you eaten? You’ve worked hard today.” Those kinds of greetings.But look at him now. Someone comes and sits down, and he’s just staring at his phone, furrowing his brow. What kind of manners is that?“Is there any point in asking? It’s clear you slept well just by looking at your face.”“No, I didn’t. Couldn’t sleep.”It was obvious to anyone that he had slept well, and he actually had, but a lie slipped out of my mouth naturally. Yet, it was Jung Yiyeon who hadn’t slept well.“…Why couldn’t you sleep?”“Discontentment.”“…,” Jung Yiyeon closed his mouth firmly.I did the same. Conveniently, at that moment, the housemaid came out and placed rice and soup in front of Jung Yiyeon and me. The main side dish for breakfast was grilled mackerel.I generously spread the plump flesh of the fish on top of the white rice and took a bite. The salty and oily taste of the fish was very satisfying. Freshly cooked rice paired perfectly with it.The seaweed soup, with plenty of beef in it, also went very well. The seaweed was tender, and the beef was chewy.But I wondered if it was too fishy of a diet for Jung Yiyeon. The well-boiled seaweed soup and fresh mackerel tasted fine to me, but apparently not to him. He hardly touched the mackerel and focused more on the braised dishes and fried eggs. Still, he seemed to eat the seaweed soup quite well.People never change. Lost in thought, I blew on the soup with a spoonful and brought it to my mouth. Just then, Jung Yiyeon swallowed what was in his mouth and took a sip of water.Blowing on the soup to cool it down, I subtly lifted my right leg forward, stretching it out towards the space between Jung Yiyeon’s legs.“Cough?!” The moment something squishy touched the tip of his foot, Jung Yiyeon spat out what he was drinking. With his quick reflexes, he twisted his body and leaned forward, preventing any disaster of the food getting dirty.“Cough, cough, cough!” Jung Yiyeon coughed violently as if choking, then abruptly stood up. In his haste, the chair tipped over, making a loud noise as it fell backward.I didn’t even kick hard, just gently tapped with my foot, yet it seemed to startle him so much.Curiously watching Jung Yiyeon, who was now coughing painfully and looking puzzled, I wondered why he reacted like that.“Boss? Are you okay?”Hearing the commotion, the housemaid rushed over. She quickly handed tissues to Jung Yiyeon and helped him up, even patting his back a few times as he continued to cough.“I’m fine. It’s okay. Go and attend to your work.”Despite his reassurances, he seemed far from okay with each word he uttered mixed with heavy coughing. With a flushed face, Jung Yiyeon sent the housemaid back to the kitchen with the water she brought. He coughed several times even while drinking the new water. It seemed like the cough was quite serious.“You…!”“Sit down. What are you doing instead of eating?”Oh, trying to maintain an innocent expression as if I hadn’t done anything wrong and teasing Jung Yiyeon about his attire. But as I looked at his face, still flushed and coughing, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.“Sit down.”“…Don’t.”“I said sit down. Don’t want to eat alone.”As I added a hint of guilt to Jung Yiyeon’s reluctance, his face, which had been glaring at me, softened slightly. Though still wary of me, he silently took his seat.“…Seriously, don’t.”I just couldn’t resist adding one more remark.I shrugged my shoulders and took another spoonful of soup. I even picked out a big piece of mackerel to eat and enjoyed the eggs in the braised dish.And then, I stretched my leg again.“…I told you not to.”Jung Yiyeon squinted at me. My foot hadn’t even touched the target.Perhaps expecting me to do that again, Jung Yiyeon was on guard. So, as I stretched my leg like before, I didn’t reach the intended target because he had tightly closed his knees. As a result, my foot only grazed against his knee, unable to delve further.“Put your foot down and eat your food.”Jung Yiyeon warned sternly. It sounded just like when he told me to go and get some sleep the day before.So, I complied and lowered my foot. But it was unavoidable that the tip of my foot grazed against his shinbone from his knee to his ankle. The desire to tease Jung Yiyeon hadn’t left my toes.“…Please, Lee Nan.”I had only brushed his leg with the tip of my foot, yet Jung Yiyeon raised his white flag. He had gone from glaring at me as if ready to pounce to now, not even able to lift his head properly to look at me.“I’m starving. Please, let me eat.”Ah, victory. The moment the word ‘please’ came out of Jung Yiyeon’s mouth. The moment he pleaded with me with a face begging for mercy, a sense of triumph pierced through my heart exhilaratingly.“Who said you couldn’t eat?”I muttered brazenly with an innocent expression, withdrawing my foot from Jung Yiyeon. As I leaned back against the backrest and adjusted my posture to start eating, Jung Yiyeon, who had been eyeing me cautiously, also cautiously picked up his utensils again.The bowl of rice was delicious. I finished every drop of the seaweed soup and even licked the plate clean of the mackerel, leaving only thick thorns behind.“Do you want to raise a dog or a cat if you’re bored?”“Suddenly?”“You said you’d like to have a dog in the yard before.”“Forget it. I don’t want any pets.”How long am I supposed to keep a pet here just because I’m bored? Judging by the sudden mention of such a thing, does he think I’m doing this out of boredom?Of course, I was indeed bored. But I didn’t need anything else.“Ugh…!”Just teasing Jung Yiyeon was entertaining enough. Stretching my leg again, I gently pressed the space between Jung Yiyeon’s thighs with the tip of my foot. His knees, which had been relaxed, gathered again, and tension ran through his thighs. I wiggled my foot provocatively, stimulating his thigh.The moment Jung Yiyeon’s face turned red again.Bang! He slammed the table roughly and got up from his seat. Thanks to him, there was no longer any room for my foot to move.“…I’ll go to work.”It was nine in the morning. Already late to go to work, and suddenly talking about work while dressed in workout clothes. However, before I could ask, Jung Yiyeon hurriedly left the dining room as if fleeing.“Oh my, did the boss leave?”The housemaid, who belatedly noticed Jung Yiyeon’s departure, asked me with a puzzled look. I shrugged, and she didn’t seem to care anymore. Instead, she smiled kindly and said to me.“Rest. I’ll prepare some coffee and fruit for you soon.”Ah, this kind of lifestyle is really nice. In the pleasant and refreshing feeling that tickles my chest, I even began to think that continuing this lifestyle a little longer wouldn’t be bad at all.***Jung Yiyeon arrived late at night. It was a late return, considering that unless it was something very important, he usually worked from home.As he entered, he looked surprised to see me standing up from the sofa. There was a look in his eyes that didn’t seem to approve of me wearing a gown.Even though I was only wearing a gown, it wasn’t the same state as the morning. I had breakfast, took a shower, exercised in the afternoon, and then bathed again. The whirlpool bath was quite addictive, and I had plenty of time. After leisurely showering and coming out, I put on a fresh gown. There were pajamas in the wardrobe, of course, but I didn’t touch them. Thanks to that, Jung Yiyeon didn’t have that stern look on his face anymore.“I’m back.”Was he remembering being pressured in the morning without even getting a greeting? Jung Yiyeon offered a greeting.“You’re late. Must have had a lot of work.”“Yeah, a bit. Had a lot to review and approve.”“There were things I needed, you know. I waited.”“Tell the housemaid. What did you need?”As the conversation continued normally, Jung Yiyeon’s face softened a bit. He even seemed a little pleased.“Alcohol.”“Alcohol? There should be beer in the fridge.”“Not that. I mean liquor or wine.”Having taken a bath in the evening, I felt like drinking something like the white wine I had before. So, I looked around, but all I found in the fridge were a few cans of beer. Disappointed, I coolly drank one can, but today, I felt like having wine or something a bit stronger.“Wine, then?”“Yeah. Something expensive.”“We have a cellar downstairs. You can pick.”“I don’t know much about it.”“I’ll guide you.”Jung Yiyeon gestured to me without even changing his clothes. I got up and followed him.I thought there was only a gym in the basement. But when Jung Yiyeon pressed a switch, light flooded into the dark space.Under soft and mysterious lighting, a luxurious bar, as if transplanted from somewhere, was arranged. There were not only a bar and stools but also a plush and comfortable-looking sofa. It was a space where a bartender could start working right away.Shelves on the wall with red LED lighting were filled with beautiful bottles. And on one side, there was a huge wine cellar. Jung Yiyeon took out a bottle from the wine cellar, checked the label, put it back, and chose a wine.“Would a very dry one be okay?”“I prefer something slightly sweet and warm.”“Most of them are red wines, so I don’t think there’s anything sweet.”“Haven’t you had something before?”“Seems like that was the last one. Want to go for sparkling wine instead?”Hmm. Sparkling wine wasn’t what I wanted. If there’s no white wine like I had before, then a light red wine would be nice.“When you say red wine, one thing comes to mind.”“Have you had something delicious before?”Of course, I had. Since I enjoyed drinking with people, I had acquired various tastes. While wine wasn’t something I drank frequently, there was a time when I had a very enjoyable experience.“It tasted great when licked off someone else’s chest.”Well, more like licked than drank.At my words, Jung Yiyeon’s body stiffened upright. No, maybe it wasn’t because of what I said. Perhaps it was because of my arms embracing his waist as he was choosing the wine.“Wines drunk like that, even if cheap, taste great. Jung Yiyeon, have you ever tried it like that?”It was one of the messy days in my life that I barely remember now. A woman I used to fancy sprinkled some on her chest and made me lick it. Licking the pooled liquid from her clavicle messily and sucking on her breast, soaked in the reddish liquid, felt as delicious as fruits in my mouth. With each caress, the desire grew, and getting more intoxicated with alcohol made sex even more enjoyable.Of course, I didn’t have as plump and soft breasts as hers. But for a gay man like Jung Yiyeon, he probably wouldn’t need such things.“Should I do it for you?”The excitement over my flat and pancake-like chest was what this man, Jung Yiyeon, found attractive.“…Let go.”A firm voice. Jung Yiyeon forcefully removed my arms wrapped around his waist. Why does this feel so anticlimactic? With a chuckle, I let go of Jung Yiyeon.“No, you’re letting go too easily.”“Ugh-”As I let go, the guy who was trying to turn away from me, turned back and embraced him again. Pushing him towards the wine cellar, his back hit the cellar with a thud, shaking the bottles. Jung Yiyeon was startled, but I still firmly held onto his waist. As a result, Jung Yiyeon’s body stiffened even more in my embrace.“You…”As our eyes met just about to touch, Jung Yiyeon’s face contorted in unfamiliarity. What’s with him acting like I’m some kind of pervert for giving his butt a little squeeze? It’s not like it’s a big deal to push me away, yet he just stands there taking it.Deliberately, I squeezed his buttocks more sensually. His muscles were as hard as rocks. He must be someone who exercises regularly, his shape was quite beautiful, but the firm texture was a bit disappointing.“Ease up a bit. It’s too stiff.”“…”But it seemed like Jung Yiyeon interpreted the word ‘stiff’ a little differently. His face turned crimson.As I subtly licked my lips and glanced down at his pants, his stiffened body twitched again.“…Let go.”Jung Yiyeon tried to push me away. However, I pushed him further towards the cellar and gripped his buttocks tighter.“Would you prefer if I kept you locked up and tortured you all day?”Attacking his conscience made Jung Yiyeon close his mouth.“You said you’d mostly work from home. Was it really that urgent?”“…That’s because… you keep… provoking me.”“If I had detained you, I would have to endure tormenting you. If you keep fleeing? Then what? Where would I flee to?”“…”“Should I jump out of the second floor window with a chair?”Jung Yiyeon bit his lip with a stern face, as if imagining carrying out what I had said.“I thought you’d turn tail and run no matter what, today?”I didn’t expect that either. Just this morning, I thought being a bum had its merits.But today, the day dragged on slower. After showering, I tried to read a book, but I couldn’t even turn the pages. Not only were the words unfamiliar, but I couldn’t recall what I had read the day before. It was as if I hadn’t been able to focus on the book because my mind was subtly fixated on Jung Yiyeon; I even confused the names of passing characters.So, I closed the book and browsed through the movie list. I even considered playing games, looking through game packs and CDs. But still, there was nothing I wanted to do, and it was just boring.In the end, I mindlessly watched TV and had lunch, and the tedious hours dragged on even after that. It was so boring that I even exercised excessively. My body felt fine, but the boredom was unbearable.Once I discovered the joy of tormenting and teasing Jung Yiyeon, everything else felt unbearably dull. So, wanting to torment Jung Yiyeon, but with the person himself not present, there was nothing I could do.I waited. All day today, I waited only for Jung Yiyeon’s return. Waiting for the man who imprisoned and threatened me, all because I wanted to torment him.“…Even if you provoke me, I won’t have sex.”“Then endure it. If you’re going to run away like that, why would I confine you? Is that what you want?”My voice sounded firm, but my hand was still fondling Jung Yiyeon’s buttocks. I don’t even know what I’m doing right now. If I were to see Jung Yiyeon’s face seriously stiffening, I would have burst into laughter inside.“But what about me?”I should be angry. I was irritated to the point of anger because it was too boring during the day. But now, teasing Jung Yiyeon was still enjoyable.And holding onto his buttocks… It heated up my body too. It felt like my mouth was getting a little dry.“Should I call someone else?”“…What?”“You said you’ve thought about it before.”A few days ago, when we went to the garden, Jung Yiyeon had said it himself.“Then call someone to drink wine with. I feel like I need to have sex to fall asleep, right now.”At this point, I couldn’t help but wonder how Jung Yiyeon would react. Of course, he could ignore it. But fighting with me wasn’t Jung Yiyeon’s intention. I understand that he just wants to share a peaceful daily life with me. He loves me that much.So, how would my lower half handle this situation? I, who supposedly love him so much, can’t control my desires.“Ha.”Jung Yiyeon let out a short sigh. Then suddenly, he grabbed my wrist. His hand, which had been gripping his buttocks, was forcefully seized.“Ah…!”He swiftly pulled me towards him, causing my body to sway. Jung Yiyeon easily pushed me away and, holding onto my wrist, walked briskly with long strides. I followed him, not knowing what else to do.Jung Yiyeon went straight from the basement to the bedroom on the second floor. Whether he hadn’t locked it on his way out, the bedroom door opened without any resistance.I plopped down on the bed. Gasping for breath after quickly ascending the stairs from the basement to the second floor, I looked at Jung Yiyeon. He took off his jacket, dropped it on the floor, and roughly loosened his tie.Finally.His chest heaved with slightly rough breaths. I couldn’t help but gulp as he forcefully undid his tie. I wondered how a man so excited would touch me, how he would hold me. Anticipation tingled at my fingertips.Jung Yiyeon climbed onto the bed. With his knees on the mattress, he leaned towards me. His approach seemed somewhat ominous, and without realizing it, I instinctively moved backward. Jung Yiyeon pushed me against the headboard.And then…“Wait. What’s this? Wait!”Was he tying my wrists with the tie he had been holding? Tying or being tied up wasn’t at all to my taste. So, I struggled, but I couldn’t stop Jung Yiyeon.My wrists were tied. And the tied wrists were fixed to the headboard. The rounded decoration on the wooden headboard was just perfect for tying and hanging wrists.“Ah…!”And Jung Yiyeon kissed me. I tried to pull my wrists out, but Jung Yiyeon wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me down. Because of him, I couldn’t free my tied wrists from the headboard.I would have to sit up properly to free my hands- but Jung Yiyeon was pressing down on my body, so I couldn’t even lift my upper body.
