I Bought the Male Lead with Money

6.

Jinhyeon lowered his eyes and imagined Yu Jin’s naked body.

Since he’s a man, he probably has the same thing hanging there. It’s likely small. Judging by his face, it looks like it would be small. He said he used it often, so would it be dirty? Or would it be cute like his appearance?

It doesn’t seem like he’ll be the one inserting, so I’ll have to do it. Can that small butt accept my genitals? I wonder if he’ll cry when he takes it in.

‘But crying might be fine too.’

He looks good to make cry. Jinhyeon smiled faintly when their eyes met suddenly.

Even when he first fell into the desert and realized it was another world, he didn’t feel much. Reality was so boring and terrible. He thought nothing would change even if the world changed. But that wasn’t the case.

The changed world was a place where killing was natural. If someone tried to harm him, he could also wield a weapon.

Jinhyeon remembered the moment he first held a weapon. The heavy feeling of metal, the hot blood that spurted when it pierced flesh, the simultaneous screams that thrilled him.

For the first time in his life, he felt alive.

‘This is it.’

This is where Jinhyeon should have been born and raised. Although he was captured in the desert and became a slave, failing to escape until he came here, it was much better than his previous boring life.

Jinhyeon realized his talent and quickly adapted to the Colosseum.

‘I wanted to rise to a high rank, but I expected to be sold midway.’

Because his face was pretty. Although the Colosseum was optimal for rising through violence, there were other methods too. So Jinhyeon didn’t get frustrated. Rather, he was feeling pleasure.

He found joy in not being able to predict the future.

‘But this is strange.’

As the carriage ride got longer, Yu Jin’s body sitting opposite him was becoming stiffer. Surely he was bought for a purpose, but he’s too scared of me.

‘I haven’t done anything scary yet.’

I did kill Al by crushing him into pieces, but is that something to be afraid of? The people coming to the Colosseum should be used to that anyway.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

Even if he’s scared, it’s not a problem in getting him. Have you heard of the bad boy rule? If a bad boy who’s mean to everyone is kind to just one person, that person develops an illusion.

The illusion that they can change this person.

All I need to do is make him fall into that illusion.

The man sitting next to Yu Jin was glaring at me fiercely, but what could he do? Your master liked me and bought me.

Jinhyeon smiled mischievously.

Yu Jin was barely restraining himself from jumping out of the carriage right away.

‘My God, I’m in the same space as the protagonist!’

Keith was also next to him, but he just couldn’t calm down. His heart was beating so hard it felt like it might jump out of his throat. He won’t suddenly try to kill me if he doesn’t like me, right?

Yu Jin worried about Jinhyeon’s impulsive actions, but fortunately, nothing happened and the carriage safely arrived at the mansion.

Keith naturally tried to send Jinhyeon to the slave quarters.

“No!”

The Lucid family treats their slaves better than other places. They give them clean rooms, and though humble, there are beds. They provide two meals a day without fail. Sometimes when they’re in a good mood, they even serve proper meat.

However, Jinhyeon was a modern person, right? Moreover, now that his ideology needs to be changed, he couldn’t be pushed in among them.

Keith stood still, waiting for Yu Jin’s next words.

“I’ll keep Jinhyeon by my side. Give him an empty room on the second floor. He’ll eat meals with me too.”

Keith’s expression turned cold at Yu Jin’s words.

“Is he a bedroom slave?”

Yu Jin nodded hastily and then realized the meaning of the words. Keith was asking if Jinhyeon and Yu Jin would be sharing a bed.

No, absolutely not. No matter how handsome Jinhyeon is, Yu Jin’s heart doesn’t waver for men. He’s acting like this now to keep the explosive close and defuse it. But he couldn’t say that outright, so Yu Jin had no choice but to reluctantly acknowledge it.

“Yes, I’ll keep him as a bedroom slave.”

It’s right to settle it like this, at least on the surface.

“Didn’t you not keep bedroom slaves before?”

“I’m trying it out this time.”

Keith, who regarded Yu Jin like a younger sibling, disapproved of bedroom slaves. But what could he do? No matter how close they were, Yu Jin’s status was higher.

Keith’s opposition didn’t last long.

“Then I’ll educate him accordingly.”

Yu Jin couldn’t stop him from saying he’d educate Jinhyeon. Keith took Jinhyeon somewhere right away. Then he reappeared much later.

The previously scruffy Jinhyeon was now clean. He had changed into new clothes and his hair was neatly arranged. But was it just his imagination?

It wasn’t just Jinhyeon. Keith seemed to be sparkling more than before. His clothes had changed, and he had more accessories. His long hair waved like water, and his face was glossy.

‘Didn’t he go to wash Jinhyeon?’

Yu Jin didn’t understand why Keith had returned looking prettier.

Yu Jin just blinked, not understanding the situation.

‘But it’s amazing.’

Seeing Jinhyeon and Keith, he couldn’t help but admire them. He knew they were both handsome, but seeing them like this, he felt he had been mistaken all along.

They were extraordinarily handsome.

Keith had a warm, gentle handsomeness, while Jinhyeon was cool and handsome. Either way, their charm was extraordinary.

While he was looking at them distractedly, his eyes met Jinhyeon’s. Startled, he flinched, and Jinhyeon smiled, his eyes curving.

“Master.”

His tone was friendly, unlike his appearance.

“Y-yes.”

I don’t like it. I don’t want to be called master! The original Yu Jin had barely heard the word ‘master’. Keith and Haruna never called him master, and he rarely encountered the slaves in the mansion as they were mostly bought to work.

As a rule, those who work should not encounter the master, so usually, there are separate passages for employees in the mansion. The maids and servants who appear and move around are those assigned to such roles.

As Yu Jin hesitated awkwardly, Jinhyeon smoothly approached and knelt at Yu Jin’s feet. Then he lowered his eyes.

“I’m pleased to serve you, Master.”

What do you mean serve? Yu Jin had no intention of receiving such treatment. Knowing what kind of person the original protagonist was, his heart might stop if he received such treatment.

But he couldn’t openly refuse either.

“Thank you. I’m glad too.”

At least the fear of death has lessened, so I can be a little glad. When Yu Jin grinned, Jinhyeon also lifted the corners of his mouth. Then he gently placed his hand on Yu Jin’s thigh.

The hand lightly caressing the soft thigh naturally pushed away the cloth covering it. As the hand naturally touched between his legs, Yu Jin became dazed. Then he jumped up in surprise.

“Eek!”

A strange sound escaped his mouth. Somehow, Yu Jin’s body had climbed onto the chair.

“W-what are you doing!”

When he asked in shock, Jinhyeon tilted his head.

“I’m fulfilling my duty as a bedroom slave.”

It seemed Keith had also noticed what had happened.

“Don’t act so impudently.”

He grabbed Jinhyeon roughly with a fierce expression. Because of this, Jinhyeon fell backwards. Yu Jin’s eyes widened at how easily he fell.

This won’t do. What if Jinhyeon dies from being mistreated! Yu Jin hurriedly opened his mouth.

“It’s okay! I’m fine, so don’t do that!”

When he flapped his hands, Keith let go of Jinhyeon. Although Yu Jin said it was okay, Keith still looked displeased.

‘Stay calm.’

He needed to resolve this situation. Yu Jin carefully got down from the chair and approached Jinhyeon. With trembling hands, he straightened Jinhyeon’s disheveled clothes and brushed back his fallen hair.

“I’m sorry. Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No, I’m not. You’re very kind, Master.”

Jinhyeon smiled brightly and grabbed Yu Jin’s hand, rubbing it against his cheek. He was clearly smiling, but Yu Jin’s heart was racing as if he was facing a growling beast.

‘He’s upset.’

This is terrible in many ways. How will I endure if days like this continue? Yu Jin felt like crying.

Even in this situation, he was hungry. Hearing the thunderous sound from Yu Jin’s stomach, Jinhyeon chuckled softly. Yu Jin deliberately ignored him and spoke to Keith.

“I’m hungry, shall we have dinner first?”

“I’ll prepare it.”

“Okay, for three people.”

“…Surely you don’t intend to dine with a slave?”

Yu Jin nodded.

“And you eat with us too.”

Keith hesitated but didn’t refuse.

“Still, it’s not good to eat with a slave.”

“I know. But this is my mansion. Can’t I do as I please?”

Keith was a good person, but he was still a person of this era. For him, dining with a slave was unthinkable. Usually, even if one loved their bedroom slave, they wouldn’t eat together.

Slaves usually slept separately too. It meant they were only together during sex. Knowing this, Yu Jin decided to be stubborn.

“I’m already a scoundrel anyway. There’s no lower to fall.”

“But…”

Keith looked like he had a lot to say, but Yu Jin cut him off before he could say more.

“So let’s just eat together.”

Yu Jin smiled brightly.
