BR - 14

Seo-kyung swallowed her tongue and tore her stockings, pushing his hand inside.

“Heuht.”

With a plaintive moan, her body lurched against the sink. Cold metal and lukewarm moisture touched her skin through her already loosened blouse. Seo-kyung stopped kissing and slightly pulled away, and she heard the sound of his pants buckle coming undone. Soon, he pressed his body close again.

“Seo, Seo-kyung-ssi. Are you going to do it here?”

Eun-chae’s body stiffened, as she had never imagined having her first experience anywhere but the bedroom. Without answering, she felt his penis properly between her buttocks.

“Wa, wait a moment.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t put it in.”

Seo-kyung, excited, bit her earlobe and breathed heavily. Soon, his fingers entered her, tickling and caressing her. Involuntarily, her hips swayed with his movements, and a moan escaped her lips. Even biting her lip couldn’t stop it.

“Please.”

Eun-chae pleaded in a breathless voice.

“Please what? What do you want me to do?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know.”

I don’t even know what I want. Do you want to stop, or do you want to have me like this?

“Please...”

“Okay. If you want it, I’ll give it to you.”

“No, wait... Ah!”

Eun-chae’s eyes widened in surprise. He used his foot to gently push one of her legs aside, creating space, and something large and long slid between her thighs. As soon as she felt the foreign object between her legs, not inside her, he began to move his pelvis as if they were having sex.

“Close them tighter.”

He used his hand to push her leg, which had been pushed aside, back together, then increased his speed. Her chest was being touched by his hand, and her lower body was being moved by him, pushing her closer and closer to climax. The slippery, sticky feeling made her head spin.

“Seo, Seo-kyung-ssi! I can’t take it anymore, I can’t...!”

“You’re about to come?”

“Ah, wa, wait...!”

Eun-chae’s back arched like a bow.

“Euht!”

At that moment, something hot splattered on her thigh, and Seo-kyung hugged her tightly. She was too dizzy. The ceiling and floor were spinning so much that she couldn’t open her eyes. But even with her eyes closed, the black background kept swaying.

“Eun-chae? Eun-chae-ya! ...Lee Eun-chae, come to your senses...”

Seo-kyung’s voice, heard from afar, soon faded away.

What should I do with you?

Seo-kyung looked at Eun-chae lying next to him with a troubled heart. In the end, he couldn’t resist his lust last night and held her. Although he didn’t penetrate her, they both reached climax, so it was no different from having sex. The only good thing was that she reached climax in his arms. After Eun-chae fainted as soon as she reached climax, he carried her to the bed, and they both fell asleep. He hadn’t held anyone for the past three years, or since they promised to marry, so this kind of outburst was very tiring for him.

“Uhm...”

Eun-chae, drowsy, wriggled and curled up close to Seo-kyung. Thinking she was cold, he pulled the blanket over her shoulders and hugged her gently. She snuggled closer, finding warmth.

“You really make things difficult.”

He whispered, afraid she would wake up from his words. Her long eyelashes looked ticklish as they rested on her peach-colored cheeks. Her hair, lightly brushing his shoulder, still had a glossy sheen, though not as much as before.

What am I trying to gain?

“There’s no reason for you to do this for me. As you said, Seo-kyung-ssi, our deal should be a give-and-take, but what do you get from this deal?”

It was natural that he couldn’t answer Eun-chae’s question. He wouldn’t gain anything by paying off her debt. Social perception? That was ridiculous. As she said, no one cared about something that happened three years ago. The only reward he got was the relief of his own heart.

Wasn’t that enough? No, there was no reason it shouldn’t be. Seo-kyung had never experienced such discomfort. So, he didn’t need any other reason to eliminate it. Finding a satisfactory answer, he smiled and held Eun-chae in his arms.

Ding-dong.

[Ms. Lee Eun-chae’s loan balance has been paid in full. Thank you for using ○○ Bank.]

Paid in full?

Eun-chae pushed her chair back and stood up. No matter how many times she read the text message on her phone, it remained the same. Paid in full? There was no way she had the ability to pay off a debt of over 1.6 billion won at once. There was only one person who would do such a thing, Seo-kyung.

“What’s wrong, Eun-chae-ssi? Is something wrong?”

“Oh, no.”

As soon as she met Hyun-woo’s worried eyes, Eun-chae shook her head and sat back down. What were you thinking...? But the surprises weren’t over yet.

“Lee Eun-chae-ssi, you have mail.”

Team Leader Yang, who had picked up the department’s mail on his way back from an outside errand, tossed a letter envelope onto Eun-chae’s desk.

“What is it? There’s no sender’s name?”

“Huh?”

As Team Leader Yang said, only Eun-chae’s department and name were written on the envelope, and the sender was not indicated.

“What is it? Is it a love letter or something?”

“Of course not.”

“Open it, I’m curious.”

Team Leader Yang stood next to her, his eyes sparkling, showing no sign of leaving. What should I do? Eun-chae tried to feel the envelope to guess what was inside. But other than it felt similar to a credit card, she couldn’t guess anything. Seeing Team Leader Yang’s eyes fixed on the envelope, Eun-chae simply tore it open.

“Hmm? What is this? Isn’t it an apartment key?”

“Ah...”

Baek Seo-kyung, you really... The apartment name written on the black card was clearly the apartment where she had met Seo-kyung.

“Oh, my mom must have left it. I lost my key...”

“Eun-chae-ssi, your mother lives in this apartment? This place is very expensive. It’s an apartment that ordinary people can’t even dream of? Many celebrities live here too.”

“Oh, really?”

“What? You don’t even know where your mom lives?”

“It’s where my mom lives, not where I live.”

She felt sweat trickling down her back. I hope I’m not sweating on my forehead too. I can’t show that I’m flustered. Eun-chae did her best to act nonchalant, afraid that Team Leader Yang, who already didn’t have good feelings towards her, would find something else to pick on.

“I didn’t know you were from a wealthy family? You dress so modestly...”

Team Leader Yang looked Eun-chae up and down with an uncomfortable expression and returned to his seat. Whew. Eun-chae let out a small sigh. Why did I have to say it was my mom’s house? But who else’s house could I have said it was? It’s all Seo-kyung’s fault.

[I need to see you.]

She quickly sent a message to Seo-kyung. As if he had been waiting, she received a reply from him.

[Rooftop.]

Rooftop?

She didn’t want to meet him at the company right now. What would people think?

But those concerns were overshadowed by the loan repayment and the apartment card key in her hand.

After telling them she would be away for a moment, Eun-chae headed for the rooftop. Checking along the way to make sure no one was following, she opened the emergency exit door leading to the rooftop.

On the rooftop of the tall building, where the sounds of the noisy city were muffled, Seo-kyung stood at the edge, looking down.

“I’m here.”

“Yeah.”

“What are you looking at?”

She walked over to him, leaned out, and looked down.

“Doesn’t it look like toys?”

“Huh?”

“When you look down from this high, cars and people all look like children’s toys.”

“They do.”

“Why did you want to see me?”

Why is the flow of the conversation like this?

Still, she was grateful that Seo-kyung was talking to her without awkwardness, as it was their first conversation since they had done something similar to sex a few days ago.

“Did you pay off my loan Seo-kyung-ssi?”

“Yes.”

“And did you send the apartment key too, Seo-kyung-ssi?”

“Yes.”

“No matter how I think about it, I don’t think this is right.”

Seo-kyung finally turned to look at Eun-chae.

She held her breath at his transparent brown eyes, which showed no emotion.

It was hard to believe that this man, who showed no emotion, had been so passionately disheveled that night.

“So?”

“Huh?”

“You don’t think it’s right, so what? Are you going to take everything and then say it’s over?”

“I never said I would take anything.”

Eun-chae snapped.

When did I ask you to pay off my debt? I said I didn’t need the debt repayment or the apartment, but you acted on your own!

“What a shame? I’ve already paid it off.”

Seo-kyung shrugged, as if to say, “What can you do?” His expression showed no regret.

“Do you think I would do this for just any woman?”

“If you don’t do it for just any woman, then I guess you do it for the woman you slept with?”

“What do you think Baek Seo-kyung is worth?”

Eun-chae closed her mouth at Seo-kyung’s question.

“And what about the value of being in my arms?”

“My point is... why are you suddenly doing this for me? One deal with you is enough.”

“Forget it. Anyway, you can’t undo it. If you really want to undo it, return everything and quit the company.”

Words aren’t everything!

Eun-chae clenched her fists, feeling so absurd and angry. She wanted to punch that nasty mouth if she could.

With her fist or her mouth.

No, what is he saying?

She missed her chance to be angry, as a sudden thought popped into her head.

“You’re saying...”

“Wait.”

Seo-kyung stopped Eun-chae’s words and took his phone out of his pocket.

It seemed he had received a call, and his face hardened as he checked the caller ID.

“This is Baek Seo-kyung.”

So that’s how Seo-kyung-ssi looks when he answers the phone. Does he frown like that when he answers my calls too?

Eun-chae became curious as she watched Seo-kyung’s face gradually harden and his brow furrow as he talked on the phone.
