Taekju lived with Zhenya. He depended on Zhenya's rich lifestyle merely because Zhenya liked spoiling him. He liked seeing Taekju thankful or grateful just as much as he liked seeing him cry or annoyed. Often, Taekju was stubborn, saying he didn't need him. Times like these, Zhenya just didn't take him seriously, joking around.

He listened as Taekju was complaining, saying that Zhenya was a pain in the ass, that he didn't need him. That he was fine on his own. Zhenya was doing the usual, handling paperwork. He smiled, asking softly, "Really? You could be better off without me?" He enjoyed listening to Taekju. "I wouldn't let you leave me."
