BOYFRIENEMIES

I'LL PROTECT YOU

The sun was already about to sink when a man named Ethan arrived at the abandoned warehouse where Chaerin was hiding for a while.

Chaerin already knew about the driver's arrival, because the night before Bear had already told him that he had just met Ethan and the rich man wanted to have dinner together.

Chaerin was actually curious as to how and why they met. Bear also did not reply when Chaerin asked why they could meet, like something Bear had hidden from him.

"He said he loved you Chae" Bear innocently talked about his love affair with her, but he himself never got into a relationship with any woman.

"Do you believe the bullshit that rich men throw?" Chaerin smiled in disdain.

Chaerin was still sitting on the couch smoking in his cigarette, not intending to move with the driver sent by Ethan.

However great Ethan is, he is surrounded by beautiful and sexy women more than himself, so he should not take Ethan seriously.

"What am I really? I'm just a rude woman who has absolutely no advantage except to be good at fighting"

Chaerin mutters every time she remembers Ethan's love statement last time, or when he remembered how warm Ethan Zie's lips were when he stole a little kiss from him.

A handsome Ethan Zie ceo of a leading pharmaceutical company, he is able to employ thousands of employees, his property assets reach billions of dollars, he also holds a 15% stake owned by the world's leading retail franchise company. With all the advantages that Ethan can find other women who are more worthy of him.

And Ethan's love statement the other day, was the craziest thing Chaerin's ever heard in his entire life.

Chaerin never even dreamed there would be a man in his life. Moreover, it is an Ethan, either luck or even a bad luck that is currently facing him.

It's the real world, not the Cinderella fairy tale that can get the prince's heart just by dancing once. Or about the rich and the poor falling in love because fate is too naive.

"Take this dinner as a thank you, he helped you when you were at Lady Castle" Bear continued to try to persuade Chaerin.

"I've given him that corrupt contractor as a gift, so he and I broke even"

Bear scratched his forehead trying to figure out what else was the reasonable reason for telling Chaerin to go "A few days ago Inguk came to him and asked him for money, Ethan gave a lot of money"

Of course Bear's words were a lie, because Inguk had suddenly disappeared without any news at all since their last meeting.

"That jerk!" Chaerin threw his cigarette putter on the floor and stepped on him "how dare he!"

Chaerin clasped his hands firmly holding back his anger at Inguk.

Chaerin was finally ready to leave. He feels he still owes Ethan because the fool Inguk even asked for payment.

"I'll be back soon"

Chaerin waved his hand at Bear, and behind him Bear smiled, not a happy smile, but a bitter smile that looked pitiful.

"I'll protect you, just like you always protected me" Bear had a monologue in his heart.

Chaerin only wears modest clothing, very unsuitable for dinner. But he wants to show Ethan that he's really not interested in him.

Chaerin assures her that she does not want any relationship with Ethan. Even if their relationship is forced, it will not end well.

Ethan is an honorable man, while he is only a former gangster boss, his bad reputation will certainly have a bad effect on Ethan who has an unreprehensible reputation.

Chaerin also still has a goal that must be achieved. He must be able to meet with GD, because Chaerin believes that only GD knows where Antoni Greco is, there is a reason alone that makes Chaerin willing to die to be able to find the man.

The reason that made him willing to risk his entire life. The reason why he was still able to survive in the crazy world that had been tormenting him for so many years. The reason that makes a child who should live happily should grow up with a painful sense of resentment.

The reason that made him as strong as he was now, was even to deal with the demon lord though.

Chaerin thought he would be taken to a fancy restaurant in the penthose and enjoy wine from 1982. But it turns out he was even brought to the roof of the skyscraper, which I don't know how many floors.

There Ethan waits for him, dressed neatly in a suit and seemingly expensive leather shoes while stretching out his arms to welcome his beloved woman.

Ethan stands in front of a helicopter ready for takeoff, the man's hair flying in an indeterminate direction due to the wind.

The reddish afternoon sun was as if it was just shining towards Ethan, the man was glowing, his smile was like an angel descending from the sky, his shady eyes made the heart become peaceful instantly.

Chaerin stared at Ethan fascinated for a few seconds before finally coming to his senses and throwing his face the other way to cover up his ridiculous behavior that could not stop staring at Ethan.

Ethan manages to make himself the center of the world for a moment. Especially Chaerin's world.

"Based on a crazy woman, what you're thinking, looking a little cool doesn't mean you have to like her, you have to remember she's a jerk who likes to go to prostitutes, he must have slept with a lot of women, Chaerin wake you up!"

Chaerin was alluding to himself, while Ethan smiled at Chaerin who was misbehaving.

"Are we not going to dinner? Why take me to this place, Mr Ethan?" Chaerin ketus.

Finally Chaerin spoke first, trying to make himself look ordinary even though his heart was busy tidying up the chaos caused by Ethan.

Without answering any questions, Ethan grabs Chaerin's hand and leads him to enter the helicopter.

Chaerin actually wanted to refuse, he was very afraid of heights, but if he refused on that reason, Ethan would definitely underestimate him, Chaerin hated it so much when people underestimated him and considered him weak.

Throughout his journey Chaerin closed his eyes, his body trembling but trying to stay up as hard as he could.

For a second Chaerin did not dare to open his eyes, but seeing the view of the city from above is very beautiful and the purpose of Ethan took him using a helicopter is to show it the beautiful scenery.

But no matter how hard Ethan persuaded her, Chaerin did not want to open his eyes at all.

Ethan finally realizes the woman's fear and tries to make Chaerin feel better by holding her hand, but is soon tepis by Chaerin.

Ethan breathes rough, he is made very upset by Chaerin's behavior, whether this is Chaerin's rejection, because the woman always rejects him without regard to his feelings.

Ethan reimagines the moment Chaerin called him dear a few days ago, although Chaerin said that in a mocking tone, but imagining it again made his anger subside a little.

And again where maybe Ethan is angry at the woman he loves, it will leave a bad impression and make Chaerin probably will hate him even more.

Ethan decides to remain silent during this flight, only to stare at Chaerin's face for 30 minutes until the helicopter finally lands.

Ethan and Chaerin's helicopter landed on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean.

This ship is not a cruise ship that usually takes tourists for a vacation to sail the ocean. This is one of Ethan's private ships. Ethan's name is clearly written on the ship's body as a sign of ownership. Ethan plans to rename his ship Chaerin.

"We're up to Miss Chae"

Finally Chaerin ventured to open his eyes, he came out of the helicopter assisted by Ethan. His body was still somewhat trembling but now it was better since they had already landed.

Chaerin's fear was instantly lost somewhere when he saw the expanse of blue ocean, plus the reddish light from the sunset, also seen some dolphins swimming as if jumping.

The impossible scenery would be easily found elsewhere.

Chaerin even unknowingly took the phone in his pants pocket and captured the rare moment he had just seen that first time.

"You like her Miss Chae?" Chaerin's happy smile made Ethan unable to resist asking.

Chaerin is only aware of Ethan's existence, it is embarrassing to show his gentle side like this in front of people like Ethan who always play tricks on his feelings with words of love, should he show a strong side of himself.

"Lumayan" only one word managed to come out of Chaerin's mouth.

Chaerin kept his phone back in his pants pocket and moved from where he stood.

Though Chaerin still wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery before him, but his pride in no way gave him permission for it.

Ethan smiled proudly, not in vain the effort to prepare a yacht with a helicopter and all the other*****, although Chaerin only said it was good.

"How about giving me a friendly kiss as a sign of your gratitude for this pretty place"

Chaerin looked at Ethan for a moment, and a cynical smile fell on his red lips.

"You can smell the dolphins as you please, please"

Chaerin pushes Ethan rudely so that the man moves away from his presence.

Instead of being angry, Ethan smiled at Chaerin's refusal. Perhaps now he had started to get used to the rejection from the long-haired woman.

The streets of the city look wet because of the rain that fell since this afternoon, it has just stopped raining and left a lot of puddles in the streets.

Bear stepped for sure, his brown boots several times stepped on the puddle, making splashes in various directions, splashes of water mixed with the ground that would dirty the tip of his pants, he said, but the big-looking man did not care at all.

Behind the green Coat he wore, Bear hid the Assault Rifle he had hung on his back.

Bear walked so fast that he nudged other pedestrians several times. Some scolded him for being discreet while walking, but, many of them chose to be quiet after seeing Bear's large body size and unfriendly-looking face.

Upon arriving at his destination, Bear immediately broke into the entrance of the Gold Hotel, and headed straight for the 12th floor using the elevator, taking out the concealed rifle.

Bear shot blindly, with the help of the fully automatic Assault Rifle he was carrying.

Bear moved quickly to get in, he could not waste any longer, soon the police will definitely get a report about the chaos in this place and will come here.

Bear was already very confident and believed that he would not die tonight, but it turned out that what happened was completely different from his original plan.

Dozens of men confronted him, and Bear was convinced they were all George's men. A swarm of men stormed him and several shot him, but luckily Bear managed to dodge.

Since the situation did not go according to plan, Bear now does not care if he dies tonight, or if he will be caught by the police and severely punished.

As long as he can kill George, whatever happens next, he doesn't care.

Bear takes the elevator to the 13th floor, where the guests' rooms are located. From the story he heard from Chaerin, George was more often on the 13th floor to greet the guests and keep watch, just in case there was a bitch of his who was trying to escape.

Turns right. After the elevator doors opened, George's face immediately greeted him.

Bear was ready to fire when the elevator doors opened, but unfortunately George managed to evade by making one of his men as a shield to receive a barrage of shots from Bear.

George ran inside, and ordered all his men to come forward to face Bear who was still in the elevator while firing dozens of bullets.

Bear exited the elevator, stepping on the dozens of lifeless bodies lying on the floor. Bear felt sorry for George's men who died to protect Lord Meraka, as if their lives were worth nothing.

Bear stepped in following the direction where George was going. But he didn't look around.

From behind the door of the room made of wood, George shot out, the bullet went through the door and hit Bear right in his chest.

Bear desperately tries to stay standing, firing a barrage of bullets that smash through the door where George is hiding. But unfortunately his body could not last much longer.

His vision slowly blurred and his body weakened. Bear fell on the floor with his face up, towards the ceiling.

It flashed through his head the moment he and Chaerin first met. When Chaerin reached out his hand first when everyone, even the whole world refused to accept it.

They share food, share shelter, and share the same suffering. They did bad things in their youth to earn money.

As they grow up, they agree to make an illegal money lending place that is disguised as an animal slaughterhouse. Anyone who cannot repay their debt must pay with their organs, whether it be their eyes, kidneys, or even their entire body will be removed.

Actually the one who deserves to be the leader of the gang is Bear because he is much stronger, but Bear is already quite satisfied with being number two, because for him Chaerin is always number one, since then, they have never been separated.

George's laughter rang out, Bear faintly saw the shadow of George coming out of the room without any injuries on his body.

George several times kicked Bear's body lying on the floor.

"You've got a big body, but you're so weak, you're no match for me"

George's laughter was heard again, but it did not last long. A hot bullet pierced through his cranium, sending George directly to the floor with wide eyes.

A man dressed in black walked up to George who was not breathing. He crouched down and picked up the gun still held tightly by George.

"You're told to vacate this place and let the big bear play alone, but you're too presumptuous to change the plan" whispered the man in his slow hoarse voice accompanied by a sly smile from his reddish-colored lips.

"I didn't really intend to kill you, but it seems like I was a bit drunk, I drank too much red wine earlier, should I drink your blood as well? It's a great ending for people who ignore orders like you. May you die peacefully and let's meet again in hell"

The man smiled cynically, while George tried to reach the man, wanting to fight him.

The still conscious Bear could clearly see who the black-clothed man was, and he knew him quite well.
