126: 6.9

6.9

Kibum woke up after he fell unconscious for so long. He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the high ceiling of his boss' office. 2

'Am I still dreaming?' Kibum thought. He was pretty sure that Mr. Jeon had fired him. He also realized that Taewoo had taken over his body, but it wouldn't be good-nature no matter what he did. Taewoo was inherently evil. 

Kibum knew that Taewoo was an unscrupulous madman. He would do something out of a short interest span or out of whim. There was no way Mr. Jeon would still keep him when he became Kim Taewoo. 

He turned his head to the left, and his eyes widened instantly, "M—Mr. Jeon?!"

He saw Mr. Jeon Junho sitting on his desk, reading few documents. Junho glanced at Kibum once and then continued reading his papers. He didn't seem to mind Kibum sitting on his sofa after what happened a few hours ago.

Kibum got up from the chair and stood in front of Mr. Jeon's desk. He bowed his head deep and then said, "I'm sorry for what I've done, Mr. Jeon. I will leave now." 

Junho glanced at Kibum again and then continued reading, "What is my next schedule?"

"Huh?" Kibum was confused. Why would Mr. Jeon ask him for the schedule? He had been fired already, "Sir, should I call Secretary Oh?"

Junho finally stopped reading his document and stared at Kibum. He looked displeased, "Are you deaf? I ask you my next schedule!" 

"But… but I've been fired…"

"You are not," Junho frowned, "Now get back to work, tell me my next meeting."

Kibum felt that something happened when he was unconscious. Did Taewoo do something to Mr. Jeon?

"Sir, did… my other personality harmed you in some way? P—Please forgive me because I cannot control him," Kibum apologized, but Junho didn't seem to mind.

[Hehe, yes, he made me a lot happier since my suffering in the fifth world. I am now well-done tofu, ehe… ehehehe…]

[Pupa: Do you enjoy it that much?]

[Of course! Taewoo is skillful and domineering. He is fantastic!]

[Pupa: … remember what you said in the first world? You said that you are transmigrating to complete the mission and save the world, so you can return back to your real world. You said you don't like to do PA PA PA.]

[Tsk, system, in this world, objective can change. What is the harm of enjoying some intimacy? Besides, Taewoo's Fatemeter also increases in exchange. I'd say it's a fair trade!]

[Pupa: You change your opinion faster than a politician who receives money. I'm baffled.]

"We had a talk and come with a deal," Junho stared deep at nervous Kibum, "You will keep your job as secretary here. But with one requisite, you will have to switch your personality with him every evening after work. I have my personal matter with him." 

Kibum was unsure if he heard it right. Mr. Jeon wanted him to switch personality with Taewoo? He wasn't even sure what would Taewoo does. Why would Mr. Jeon wanted him to change his personality? 

Kibum was lost.

[Wait, Kibum doesn't remember what Taewoo did? So that means their consciousness is not connected?]

[Pupa: I'm not sure because it's not in the character background. But I think, when Kibum fell unconscious, he doesn't remember anything that Taewoo did. But Taewoo knows at least many parts of Kibum's daily life.]

"Sir, but Taewoo is a dangerous man. If he is let loose, then he might bring harm to people!" Kibum warned. But Junho didn't seem to care;

"I know how to handle him. But I really need him to take over your body every evening," Junho said, "Don't ask too many questions, just tell me my schedule, and you may work on your secretary desk now."

Kibum was still suspicious about what happened. But he dared not to inquire about the reason. At least, he got to keep his job. Kibum would ask Taewoo before he slept tonight.

***

Kibum returned home after a long day in the office. Mr. Jeon was unusually tamer after that incident. Kibum would find him dazed sometimes when he was in the meeting, and there was a faint blush on his cheek. 

He had suspected something happened between Mr. Jeon and Taewoo when he was unconscious, but he didn't think Mr. Jeon would let himself get taken by Taewoo. 

Mr. Jeon was proud and powerful CEO. He wouldn't degrade himself into a sex toy for Taewoo, right?

Thus, once he returned home, he prepared himself to talk with Taewoo in his head. But he texted mina first before sleep, as always.

*Just returned from work, how about you?*

It took five minutes for Mina to reply;

*Good job today! Do you want me to buy you food for dinner?*

Kibum got excited. He thought Mina was near his building complex.

*Where are you? If you are near, I will come to you now.*

He checked his wardrobe and was about to change his clothes, then he got a new message.

*Ah! It's okay! I'm with my boyfriend right now. It will get awkward if you come. Just tell me if you need something, I will drop by and give it to you!*

Kibum silently staring at the phone. He was lost for a moment before he threw the phone away. He took the handcuff as usual and locked himself on the bed. His emotion was always fluctuating whenever he chatted with Mina, and his heartache was excruciating. 

Once he was unconscious, he met Taewoo again.

"Why are you in a bad mood? Is it because of that girl again?" Taewoo asked as he approached Kibum. 

Kibum didn't reply, which basically confirmed what happened. He peered suspiciously at Taewoo, then he asked back, "What happened between you and Mr. Jeon? Did you hurt him? I told you not to mess with this Taewoo. This is my first job."

Taewoo chuckled, he leisurely put his hands on his head, "I was just making a deal with him. It's not worth talking about."

"Not worth talking? Taewoo, do you know how powerful that man is?! What did you do to him? What happened when I was unconscious?!"

Taewoo laughed leisurely. He shrugged, "Why is that important? As long as you got to keep your job, everything is good."

Kibum nagged Taewoo continuously, demanding him to tell the truth. But Taewoo jokingly said, "He becomes my bitch now, do you believe that?"

"Don't speak nonsense! This is Mr. Jeon we are talking about! Just tell me the truth!" 

Taewoo shrugged again and ignored Kibum in the process.

"What about you and that girl, Mina. It's been so long, and you still latch on her? Come on, move on already."

Kibum lowered his head, he was obviously heartbroken, and Mina never actually put him in her eyes. But he still stupidly latched on her, wishing that she would accept him someday.

Taewoo watched his brother grieving after getting his heart shattered so many times. He didn't want Kibum to latch on to this clueless girl forever, so he asked earnestly, "Will you move on if someone falls in love with you?"

"Fall in love with me?" Kibum scrunched his brows, "No, I don't think anyone will be interested in me. It's okay. I don't want anyone to suffer because of our switching personality anyway."

"Then, you will move on if you have someone that loves you, right?" Taewoo asked for the second time, which Kibum didn't reply. He lowered his head in silence, lamenting his fate.

'Then, if I can ask him to be with Kibum…' Taewoo seemed to think of something, and then he had decided upon something.

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 10%.]
