2. Wrong Line (Sexting Gone Wrong)

"I just hope you will be very careful." Doyun nodded to what his friend said. Just then, his phone rang.

Rring! Rring! 

He answered the call on the second ring.

"Hello?"

"Hi. Please, am I speaking with a mister Lee Do Yun? Do you happen to know the owner of this number?" A female voice asked from the other end of the line.

"Yes. She is my mother. Is anything wrong? Has she left her phone somewhere? Give me the directions and I'll be there right away."

"Ok good. She has been admitted to our hospital and has yet to gain consciousness, so we have no information on her. 

I was able to call you because her phone was not locked. I'll send you the address after the call so you can come and help us fill out her forms and chart. Please bring along some clothes and toiletries."

"The results are in, and I'm sorry to tell you that she has end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Meaning her kidney is failing. 

And the only way out right now is for her to get dialysis until she gets a kidney transplant. 

If not, then she would have only some weeks, or if lucky, just a few months, to live." The doctor told the three siblings.

Do Yun had called his sisters and told them about their mother's admission to the hospital after helping the nurse fill out the forms.

"Hye-Won, Hye-Ri, you two shouldn't worry about this. I'll find the money for her treatment. Go home and rest. You still have school tomorrow." 

Do Yun said to his two younger siblings. They looked very worried, which is quite understandable.

"But, oppa, where can you find the money? Per what the doctor said, oemma would have to be on treatment all throughout her life; how can you afford that?" The 19-year-old Lee Hye-won asked.

"I said I would find the money. Take Hyeri and leave. We will all take turns visiting her tomorrow." Doyun said it in a raised voice. 

"Oppa, how will you get that kind of money? We have been harassed by those loan sharks ever since appa died. If you could come up with such a huge amount of money, wouldn't you have pay them off by now? 

How do you expect Hye-Ri and I to believe that you can come up with the money? By what means are you going to get that? Are you into some gang of sorts?"

"Hyewon! Stop before I get angry." Doyun shouted at his sister.

"What? Do you think we are not aware of your suspensious behaviors? You make a lot of strange calls, come in late, and even sleep outside, at others homes, since appa died. 

Do you know how oemma has been worrying about you, not knowing where you go or what you've been doing outside?"

"Unnie! How can you say that to oppa? And oppa, please calm down. Both of you should calm down. Let's talk about this at home, please. You're both drawing attention to us.

Oppa, we'll be leaving. See you at home." The quiet 15-year-old middle schooler, Lee Hye-Ri, said and pulled her stubborn older sister out of the hospital.

Doyun sighed and tried to calm down before going to talk to the doctor about the treatments and the costs.

******************************************

Ding! A notification popped up on 23-year-old Kim Byeong Ho's phone.

"I know you still want me. Be here in under thirty minutes. If you come, then our deal is on. Otherwise, it's off the table, for good." 

The message was read along with a GPS address and a winking emoji.

"Who is this?" 

Kim Byeong Ho thought out loud and put down his phone. It's obviously a wrong line because this is his private number, which only a few of his close relatives and friends know. 

None of his flings or sex partners have this number. Not even his coursemates.

And another fact is that the few people who have it all know, that he will never answer an unknown number. So he doubts it's anyone he knows.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Came in an influx of messages, annoying Byeong Ho. So he takes the phone to block the number on the Messenger app, but...

Byeong Ho felt his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed them several times, but still, the images on his phone remained the same.

The person has sent a number of different suggestive pictures of a beautiful boy. 

The only way he was able to tell that this was a boy was because all of them were nude pictures of him!

He is lying on a bed completely naked, but with a thin, transparent Organza fabric on his midsection. Which did nothing better at covering that part up, but rather, it made Byeong Ho's eyes stay glued to what was underneath it.

If anything, it made him look so alluring, and him seductively looking at the camera didn't help things at all. It feels more like he is seducing this poor heir apparent of Knet Entertainment.

Kim Byeong Ho gulped. His little Byeong Ho has started to misbehave, making his owner feel so hot and tight. So he loosened his tie. 

He has just returned from work. Since school was on break, his father and grandpa both had him working during the vacation. 

He is the one to oversee everything after his dad, so this short working period during the first half of his vacations is to serve as a training period. He is allowed to enjoy the later part of his holidays as he wants.

'Ah, could it be because I haven't gotten laid in a while, that's why?' Byeong Ho thought, still surprised at himself. If not that it is still happening right now, he would've doubted it. 

How could just the pictures of another guy's body arouse him this much? If the person had an effeminate body type, then at least he would've understood. 

Sighed. He closed the Messenger app, texted his latest sex partner to come over, and closed the phone to go to the bathroom—to take care of his little man.
