Chapter 106

The first time Siwoo heard about R was right after his first semester midterm exam. The bartender at his favorite club was always generous towards Siwoo. Siwoo was beginning to think it was because the bartender was interested in him. Siwoo had a lot of sexual experiences considering his young age, but the grownup world was still very different and new to him.

Bartender M was a good guy. He was much older, and he took care of Siwoo. Whenever Siwoo got too drunk, he made sure to grab a cab for Siwoo so he could get home safely. Of course, the problem was that such a nice guy was not Siwoo’s type.

Bartender M asked Siwoo one night, “Are you interested in going into the private room tonight?”

“Why?”

“R is here tonight.”

R. There were only two things Siwoo knew about this man called R. First, whenever R visited the club, he always rented the most expensive and luxurious private room. He never left the room until he left for the night.

Secondly, R invited different guys every night, but no one had ever seen him leave the bar with someone.

Siwoo remembered the first time he saw this infamous R. He came to this bar to look for a partner when he noticed a large room with a closed door. He has never seen this room locked in such a way, and Siwoo got a strange vibe around the bar that night. Curious, Siwoo asked M what was happening, and this was when Siwoo heard about R for the first time.

“R is here.”

“R? Who’s that?”

Just who was this R? Many of the regulars at the bar were staring at the closed door. Siwoo heard that there were many men whose dream was to be allowed to go into R’s room even for just one night. Apparently, those who hoped to make it in the entertainment industry were even desperate to be noticed by R.

There was a crowd outside the private room’s door, and feeling curious, Siwoo got closer to it only to be stopped by the security guards. Siwoo frowned unhappily, but blushed when he heard loud moaning and groaning coming out from that very room. He walked away quickly in embarrassment.

This was a few months ago.

Siwoo asked M, “Are you telling me I should go into R’s room?”

“No, the opposite actually. I was hoping you wouldn’t get noticed by him.”

The bartender smiled bitterly. M never showed any explicit interest in Siwoo. He never made an overt move on Siwoo, which was very unfortunate. Siwoo liked men who knew what they wanted and went for it without hesitation.

M poured him a drink and Siwoo turned towards the security guards that stood in front of the door.

“M, is R planning to make his choice out here tonight?”

“It sounds like it.”

“How do you know?”

“Because no one has gone in yet.”

Siwoo was told that R’s private parties involved only a few people. The average number of men invited was four, but sometimes, it could be up to 10 people. R visited this bar about once a week, sometimes once every two weeks. It seemed that once R had enough people for the party, the door remained closed all night.

Those men who’d been to the party mostly remained close-mouthed about what happened inside, but there were still some rumors regarding what went on at R’s party. Threesomes, sex toys, drugs, and hard liquor… Siwoo heard that the drugs and alcohol were items that were illegal in Korea.

Siwoo asked M, “And is it true that he is amazing at sex?”

“I really want you to drop your interest in R, Siwoo.”

“Why?”
