Chapter 79 – Lee Junseo (Son) – Kind Hell
* Lee Junseo (Son) – Kind Hell (2)
Only after receiving a string of warnings from Munyoung and his underlings was I allowed to get out of the car. The garage was surprisingly modern, with several professional mechanics repairing vehicles, making it easy to see how much convenience was prioritized here. Despite the distant castle, the land itself didn’t seem that large, so I never imagined such infrastructure would be built here. Yet, it surprisingly looked like a place where people could live.
I unconsciously dusted off my suit jacket and put on sunglasses. Apparently, my face was famous here, and I was warned that I could be recognized even while walking down the street. The fact that the residents knew my face, even though I had never been to the village, felt like something out of a horror movie, but Munyoung’s face was so serious that it didn’t sound like a lie.
I decided to stick to the rule of never taking off my sunglasses. I also received explanations about each area, so I wouldn’t make any missteps. I got a guarantee that I could go anywhere except the residential area where the elders lived. It seemed that servants and children from each family freely roamed the streets, and thugs like Munyoung and his underlings also walked around in suits without any issue, so it wouldn’t be strange for me to blend in.
After Munyoung and his underlings showed me their lodgings, they each went their separate ways. They figured that sticking together would draw attention, and there was no danger within the village, so I was left alone as a matter of course. I headed towards the street where the most people seemed to be. There were traditional Korean houses, and more traditional Korean houses, and even more traditional Korean houses, with old-style buildings that looked like they were from historical dramas, but the interiors were modern, which was perplexing. It was normal to see a drum washing machine spinning inside a tavern, and the interiors of the buildings were incredibly clean and modern.
‘From a distance, I thought it was just a place that was out of sync with the times.’
This feeling is strange.
Is it because the sight is so mind-boggling?
This place was definitely beyond my common sense…
“Hey~! Over there~!”
“Would you stop if you were me~! Ahahaha~!”
Kids were playing normally, but large men in suits were passing by them, and women in hanboks were walking by, while prostitutes in revealing, flimsy clothes were also wandering among the children. I wondered how they were doing sex education, but since this was the norm, the kids didn’t seem to think it was strange.
‘Since they’ve been doing this since they were young, is that why they grow up to be like that?’
There were even kids clinging to a woman wearing a flimsy outfit that openly revealed everything…
I unintentionally thought of my father’s face…
I quickly erased it from my mind because it made me feel bad, but it was a scene that made me understand how he grew up…
“Gotcha~!”
“Ah~!”
“Ehehe~! Kiss~!”
“Aaaah~! I’m caught~!”
Little kids, barely reaching my ankles, were playing tag and suddenly kissing each other on the cheek. A boy was caught by a girl while running away and was forced to do it, but neither of them seemed to dislike it. My common sense was crumbling, so I moved on. I felt like a primitive man, but I thought it was better than just standing there blankly, so I looked elsewhere.
“Ugh, ugh, uuuugh, uuuugh~!”
“Uuuuuh~!”
I moved to a less crowded alleyway and saw a private house. I hoped it would be quiet here, but surprisingly, I heard moans from inside the wide-open courtyard. In the large room at the center of the courtyard, the sliding paper doors were wide open, revealing a couple roughly engaging in intercourse. Even though it was a less frequented area, it wasn’t completely deserted. Children passed by the house and glanced at the scene, but none of them pointed out anything strange and just disappeared.
‘My head hurts.’
At first, I thought this was a place that the country had deliberately preserved to maintain old Korean culture, with good intentions.
I had thought that.
But is this the reality?
Culture my ass, it’s a sex village.
‘Didn’t they say this was the most normal area? I wonder if I should look up the dictionary definition of what part of this is normal? The kids, the adults, their faces are completely consumed by sex.’
The savory smell of the kitchen stove mixed with the scent of lewd perfume wafted into my nose. This unbalanced feeling made me feel bad. As I stood there blankly, I overheard a conversation between a couple behind me who were having an affair while their spouses were left behind. It seemed that here, whether you were married or not, both men and women didn’t care if they slept with other people.
‘It’s not like a street where animals live… Geez…’
I took out the small map I received from Munyoung and started walking again. I kept looking for something with a historical drama feel that would fit this atmosphere, and as a result, I found a bakery on the way. I immediately rushed in to see what they had, and I was able to buy macarons with a credit card. The subtle feeling that hit the back of my neck at that moment didn’t disappear easily.
‘Why macarons?’
But they were delicious.
*gulp*
“Sniff, sniff…”
A delicious smell was getting closer, so I headed towards the area where the bakery was, and sure enough, there were rows of places that looked like restaurants. Taverns with expensive tables set up in the cool-looking courtyards, similar to what I had seen earlier. It was around lunchtime, so not only were there many men in suits like me, but there were also some who were hugging women around their waists.
There were people wearing normal modern clothes, and there were also some politicians I had seen somewhere, which made sweat trickle down my back. I thought that the higher-ups would know about a place like this, but I wouldn’t normally expect to meet them in a restaurant district like this. Moreover, one of them was sitting at a table in the courtyard, dressed in an expensive suit, fanning his face with a historical-looking fan, and laughing heartily, looking like an old man out for a stroll, as if he was enjoying the atmosphere here.
‘Since I’ve come all this way, maybe it would be good to have a meal… as a commemorative experience of my first time in a traditional Korean village…’
I moved away from the area where the politicians were. I carefully chose a place that was somewhat crowded but also where I could relax alone and entered the courtyard of a tavern. I knew that credit cards could be used from that strange bakery, so I wasn’t worried about money, but the prices were quite high.
‘A beef soup costs tens of thousands of won…?’
I was bewildered.
Was it a rip-off?
I glanced around and was even more bewildered when I saw a large man holding a bowl that was three times the size of my face and gulping it down. I realized why the prices were so high when I saw the piles of meat on the table. The size of the soup and the amount of side dishes were definitely different from what I was used to.
“Welcome~!”
“!”
As I sat alone at the table, looking around the tavern in bewilderment, a woman came hopping towards me.
But, that woman.
Her outfit was…
“Oh my, I don’t think I’ve seen your face before~? Sir, what would you like to order~?”
She looked much older than me, but that was also good. A long-haired older woman with a mature vibe was talking to me. The tavern owner, looking at me with a gaze that was more than just friendly, it was sticky. I didn’t think it was strange to see her wearing a jeogori (traditional Korean jacket) because it was the style of this village, but the problem was below.
This owner…
What’s with her not wearing a skirt?
Below, she was wearing fancy, short underwear with garter belts that exposed her pubic hair. A jeogori and garter belt combination? Isn’t that too innovative? Even though there was an erotic outfit that mixed the modern and the past to create a distant future look right in front of me, the people around me didn’t care and were enjoying their meals.
“Sir~?”
“Ah, ahem. It’s my first time here, but do you normally give out side dishes in such large portions?”
“Of course, the price is the price, so we give that much~! We even raise the cows ourselves and slaughter them when we need to. Being able to eat fresh raw meat is one of the advantages of this village.”
Looking at the menu again, there was also boiled pork and raw meat under the soup. It seemed like a place where you order one main dish and get a bunch of side dishes to enjoy with alcohol. I could eat rice, but the portions were huge, and it wasn’t a place to enjoy alone. That large man in the corner, stuffing a bowl into his mouth, was an exception among exceptions. I clearly saw the entire bowl of soup going into his mouth, but I still couldn’t believe it.
“Oh, sir~? Did you come here to play with women~?”
“?”
“That’s not here, that’s in the inner rooms? You can only play with women outside at night. It seems like you just arrived in the village, so the seniors didn’t tell you~! Ohoho~!”
So, this restaurant also allows sex from the morning? It’s amazing in many ways that it’s a place where you can drink with women at night. And the fact that she’s making a suggestive laugh with her fox-like eyes without me even asking, and now I understand why her outfit is like that.
“Ha, haha, I guess so.”
“Most men from outside are like that~!”
Somehow, I couldn’t help but laugh at this ridiculous atmosphere. It seemed that the Bokryong organization was bringing in thugs from the outside, so the owner in front of me was dealing with me skillfully. She was right that I was a newcomer to the village, but she was perfectly responding, except for the fact that I wasn’t a thug.
“So, what would you like to eat~? The boiled pork is delicious right now~!”
“Hahaha, I don’t know if I should ask this on our first meeting.”
“Yes~?”
“How much for a night with you, ma’am?”
“Me? Oh, young man, you’re so funny~! Such a big age difference~!”
The owner was laughing, but she didn’t seem to dislike being courted by a young playboy, and her mouth was stretched wide with a smile. The employee who was carrying dishes in the distance was wearing a normal hanbok and was working, but she couldn’t hide her surprised expression as she looked at us. The owner was a mature beauty that I wouldn’t see often, but it seemed that there weren’t many men who were trying to seduce her.
“Hey, I’m not joking. You still look like you’re in your prime, why are you being so coy?”
“Oh my, this customer~?”
“You’re walking around trying to seduce men with that outfit… huh, huh, huh~? Isn’t it good~?”
“Oh my, this young man must have made a lot of women cry~?”
The owner sat down next to me with a giggle. She was touching my thigh and seducing me like an old man who goes around harassing women at a bar, but it surprisingly worked well. If I had done this outside, I would have been immediately arrested, but here, it seems that this kind of suggestive behavior is the norm, given the woman’s outfit.
“Yura, are you busy~?”
“No~!”
“Then take care of this customer for a bit~! I’m going to talk to this customer~!”
“Yes~!”
After giving an order to the employee who was working in the distance, the owner brought alcohol with quick steps and sat down next to me again. She prepared the boiled pork without me even ordering it and took a drink first. My hand was on her waist, and the owner’s hand was on my dick. Such service without even asking, this village is definitely crazy.
“I’ll play with you for a bit today, so come back and try to seduce me again next time. Okay, young man from outside~?”
A glass of unknown alcohol went down my throat.
And as the table was being set, my dick was being rubbed with a sticky hand that had been licked.
‘Oh my.’
It was lunchtime when I realized once again that this place was indeed crazy.
