I took a moment to gather myself and decided to present a serious demeanor.
This is a chance to prove that the drug-addicted grandson has turned over a new leaf, right? Seriousness is the way to go.
âIs that my grandson?!â
Hahaha!
As soon as the door closed, Mr. Go Yeong-man greeted me with a big smile.
The same person who didnât even bother to show his face a month ago was now beaming at me so brightly that I was momentarily taken aback. Still, I quickly bent down in a bow.
âGrandfather, have you been well?â
âYour old man is still in his prime, boy. Worry about yourself.â
Even though his words were dismissive, my grandfather smiled warmly and gestured for me to come closer. I smiled back and approached him.
But man, this is still my grandfather, right?
The thing is⦠outwardly, he looks like he's in his 30s.
I keep feeling like I should call him 'brother' instead, so itâs hard to get my words out.
âThis kid⦠youâve quit the drugs, and now youâre looking great. Yeah, this is the real you. The grandson of Go Yeong-man.â
Laughing heartily, he slapped my arm.
With his appearance resembling a man in his 30s, his strength seemed to match that, and every hit made my body sway.
Of course, part of that was because Go Muyeol's body was still weak.
âIâm sorry for worrying you all this time, Grandfather.â
âForget it, you fool. What matters is the present. Now sit down.â
âAh, before that, Grandfather, here.â
I handed him the wrapped Go board of the master.
âHm? Whatâs this?â
He accepted the heavy bundle and placed it on the table, starting to unwrap it.
âItâs a Go board. I thought youâd like it, Grandfather.â
âA Go board? This rascalâs giving me something unexpected.â
âItâs pretty old, so you might be surprised.â
âIs it some kind of antique?â
âAn antique, yes. In my opinion, itâs probably the most valuable Go-related artifact out there.â
âReally? That valuable?â
His hands quickened as he undid the wrapping.
It wasnât tied in any strange way, so it didnât take long to unravel.
ââ¦Blood?â
I had dusted it off, but only up to a point, so the bloodstains were still visible.
For a brief moment, I worried he might scold me for giving him something dirty, but thankfully, he didnât.
Instead, he carefully took out the container of Go stones and placed it on the table, gently caressing the surface of the board as if it were a precious treasure.
He mustâve recognized it as something valuable.
âBut that ghost guy⦠he jumped out right when I touched it, but now heâs not coming out.â
Maybe he's reading the room.
âThis design⦠and this material⦠It looks familiarââ
âGrandfather, do you know Master Korea-young?â
â! Right! Korea-young! This is the Go board that belonged to Master Korea-young, isnât it?! I remember watching him on TV when I was a kid. Heâd slam those stones down on this very board during the Sun-Ra-myun Cup! Back when there was still a country called China. There was a player, Cheating Anhao or something, and that guy arrogantly provoked him. I still remember it like it was yesterday.â
As expected.
Bullseye.
If he can recognize the board, heâs a true fan.
âBut where did you get this? Korea-young disappeared in his later years, and no one could find him.â
âI was able to track its location by chance. I immediately thought of you, Grandfather, and brought it here.â
âReally? Youâ¦.â
My grandfather cautiously broached the topic.
âYou didnât tamper with it, did you?â
I chuckled at his understandable suspicion.
âCome on, Grandfather. A simple inspection would clear that up right away. Why would I do something like that? What would I gain?â
âHaha, right? So this is really the genuine Go board that Master Korea-young used, huh? Wow⦠to think itâs hereâ¦â
âWe also found his remains. I had him respectfully placed in a coffin.â
âReally?â
âYes. When I found him, he was collapsed over the Go board. It looked like he was playing a final game until the end.â
âWow⦠so he really did⦠play Go to the very end.â
With a distant look in his eyes, my grandfather gently stroked the Go board.
âYou wouldnât know, being so young, but that man was a true legend. He held the world title for 20 years. Can you imagine? 20 years! Todayâs players donât have that kind of spirit. Even after 50 years, no one has come close to Master Korea-young.â
My grandfather went on, reminiscing endlessly about the glory days of Go.
Seeing the fearsome head of a powerful corporation so lost in his memories was both fascinating and somewhat poignant.
In the end⦠people are ruled by their memories.
âHeâs so happy with it, itâs almost overwhelming.â
I had planned this, but still, I felt good about it.
It was like⦠Iâd received a gift in return? Maybe this is how people who love giving gifts feel.
âCome to think of it, have I ever given anyone a gift before?â
Looking back on my life for a moment, I realized I never had.
The closest thing might be handing out a billion won to each of the women in my jojob, but that felt more like paying them off than giving a gift.
âNot bad.â
It felt nice, having someone sincerely happy with something Iâd given them.
Maybe it was because he was family?
Itâs strange to feel this kind of warmth from a family known for being the worst in the world, but thatâs how I felt right now.
âMuyeol, is there anything you want? Just say the word, and your grandfather will make it happen.â
It seemed the gift had really pleased him, as he laughed heartily.
He was a completely different person from the man who had turned his back on me a month ago.
âAsking for something now would be too easy, wouldnât it?â
âSeeing you smile is enough for me, Grandfather. Iâve only ever caused you to frown until now.â
ââ¦Youâve grown up, kid!â
âWell, I should get going. I havenât eaten yet, and Iâm starving, Grandfather.â
âWhat?! Oh, right, right. You need to eat.â
We both stood up.
After saying my goodbyes and with my grandfather seeing me off, I was about to leave the room whenâ
âMuyeol.â
âYes?â
My grandfather called out to me.
âI donât expect much from you. Just stay healthy. Donât forget, your grandfather has your back.â
ââ¦Yes, Grandfather.â
+++
I stepped out of the room.
As soon as I realized everything had gone smoothly, the tension in my body began to melt away.
ââ¦It seems the task was successfully completed, my lord.â
âYeah. It went well. Grandfather was really happy.â
A pleasant sense of relief.
A feeling of accomplishment.
Because of that, even Baek Seol looked prettier to me.
ââ¦Seol-ah.â
âYes?â
âShall we⦠eat in the room?â
.
.
.
Click.
As soon as the door closed, I grabbed her.
I bit her lips and invaded inside with my tongue.
She must have sensed my mood already because she didnât seem surprised and began undressing herself.
âHaa, my lord.â
Honestly, thereâs no time for anything else.
I just want to have her.
I donât know exactly why,
though I have a feeling,
I am more excited than ever.
âThe task, ugh, went really well, didnât it?â
âYes. It went perfectly.â
As soon as Baek Seol was undressed, I laid her on the bed.
She spread her legs on her own.
She had adapted well to her role as my personal knight.
I donât know what she might be thinking deep down, but at least outwardly, she was accepting me.
âPhew.â
I took a deep breath and positioned myself before inserting.
Thrust.
I pierced into Baek Seol's body with my hot, rigid member, covering her with my weight.
âUgh, ughâ¦!â
I watched her face contort slightly in discomfort as I pushed in to the root.
âHaa, uhng, ngh,â
Squish.
The sensation was beyond anything.
Even the slightest movement sent shivers up my spine.
âHngh,â
It felt about five times more intense than usual, as each wave of pleasure coursed through me with every thrust.
The sounds of our hips colliding, accompanied by the wet slaps of flesh, only made my heart burn hotter.
I felt a bit sorry for Baek Seol, but honestly, I wasnât focused on her.
Not her pretty face, her bouncing chest, or her pale skin.
None of that mattered to me right now.
Sure, those things added to my excitement, but they werenât the main cause of this overwhelming feeling.@@novelbin@@
No, this was the euphoria of possessing everything.
Soft squeeze.
âHaa!â
A shut-in like me could have a woman like this thanks to the Go-Ryeo Group.
The power and right to freely grope her breasts, spread her legs, and ravage her as I pleased were all thanks to the Go-Ryeo Group.
I continued to move my hips, indulging in the fantasy of being at the top.
Knock, knock.
âSir, your meal is here.â
A womanâs voice came from outside the door.
It was the meal I had ordered.
âCome in.â
Click.
A young woman entered, closing the door behind her as she wheeled in the food cart.
Even as she witnessed me thrusting into Baek Seol, there wasnât the slightest reaction on her face.
âStand there.â
âYes, sir.â
She stood quietly by the food cart, her neat appearance resembling that of a flight attendant, her hair tied up neatly in a bun.
Her overall look was polished and modest, with a serene beauty about her.
I stole a glance at her, continuing my rhythmic movements.
"Ah!"
"Mm, ahâ¦"
Soon, I reached my climax, releasing deeply inside Baek Seol, filling her completely.
As I caught my breath, I brushed my hand over her face, tidying her hair gently, savoring the moment.
"Take a rest for now."
"Yes, my lord."
I withdrew from her warmth and got up, turning my attention to the other woman in the room.
As I approached, she lowered her head submissively, her posture stiff and obedient.
Regardless of what I did, she knew there was no resisting someone of my status.
"...?"
I stood in front of her for a moment, watching as she glanced at me briefly before looking away again, nervous.
Without hesitation, I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her towards the bed, her small gasp escaping as I pushed her down onto the mattress.
"Sirâ¦!"
"Stay quiet."
I roughly unbuttoned her jacket, pulling it open to reveal her chest, before hiking up her skirt and yanking at her stockings until they tore.
Her breath hitched as I forced her legs apart, leaving her vulnerable beneath me.
