BR - 6

“Done?”

Seo-kyung, tilting his head back slightly and raising his chin, asked with a confident expression.

“What are you doing right now?”

“Doing?”

“To make me a full-time employee right away... people will think it’s strange!”

Wouldn’t people whisper behind their backs about why Eun-chae suddenly became a full-time employee?

Without a fair review of her past work, she was getting a full-time position just by sleeping with him.

No, they hadn’t even slept together yet.

“Secretary Won will take care of it so that people don’t think it’s strange.”

“But...”

“Are you trying to back out now?”

The smirk on his lips disappeared, and a cold aura spread.

“No, it’s not that.”

“That’s a relief.”

Eun-chae didn’t know what was a relief, but Seo-kyung looked satisfied. The cold expression from a moment ago had softened slightly.

The Hanwoo and lamb steak topped with caviar, which her mother had wanted so much, were placed on the table, looking delicious.

But Eun-chae couldn’t taste it at all. The taste was excellent, but it would be more accurate to say that she couldn’t enjoy it leisurely.

Because Seo-kyung was watching her intently as she cut the meat into small pieces, put it in her mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

Besides, after this pretend-couple act was over, their first encounter would finally take place as he wanted, so it was natural.

“How does it taste?”

“It’s good.”

“Eat a lot. You’ll need a lot of energy.”

He spoke indirectly, but Eun-chae knew exactly what he meant, so she cleared her throat and picked up the wine glass.

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Seo-kyung called the waiter to refill it.

“If you need to borrow the courage from alcohol, go ahead.”

His sarcasm made her head spin and her stomach churn.

But soon, she thought it was a good idea. Being in his arms was bound to be both painful and pleasurable.

Although she had forgotten about it for three years, sitting across from him like this and having a meal made her feel like they were really a couple.

That feeling pierced her heart sharply, bringing her immense pain.

“Wa, wait... heuht.”

Thump.

Eun-chae’s shoulders trembled at the sound of the door closing behind her, but she didn’t have time to pay attention to such things.

She was breathless from Seo-kyung’s kiss, which devoured her lips.

When they left the restaurant and got into the elevator, she was surprised to find that it was going up, not down. It was heading to the top floor of the building.

“Where are we going?”

“Does the place matter?”

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

Then, when the elevator reached the top floor and the door opened, he opened the door marked 4004 right in front of them.

Before she could even step inside, Seo-kyung, who was waiting by the open door, grabbed Eun-chae’s arm and pulled her inside.

Then, he grabbed her face and kissed her.

The light from the entrance turned on, illuminating the two of them.

A kiss.

Eun-chae melted as Seo-kyung persistently parted her lips and entwined his tongue with hers.

She never imagined that she would have her first kiss with Seo-kyung like this.

“Get rid of any stray thoughts.”

Cold words seeped into her mouth.

“You better focus on me here.”

Unlike the coldness of his words, his hot breath brushed against her ear.

When she flinched at the ticklish sensation, he bit her earlobe.

Before she could even feel the pain, his hand took off her jacket and tore off her blouse buttons.

When she tried to cover her body with her hands in surprise at the sound of the buttons falling, he pulled her hands above her head and held them in one hand.

“Don’t cover yourself. It’s nice to look at.”

His eyes, dark with desire, stared at her underwear.

“Ha-, you were hiding this?”

He murmured quietly as he tore off his own shirt with his other hand. The end of his voice was filled with heat from excitement.

“Showing it to other men, not me.”

She wanted to say that it wasn’t true, that Seo-kyung was the only man she had ever loved.

But all the words swirled around in her mouth.

Eun-chae turned her head away because Seo-kyung’s body, which had taken off his shirt, was too perfect. Just looking at it made her feel like she would revel in all of this joy.

“Don’t turn your head away. I want to see how you feel.”

“Please...”

“Please? Why? Do you want to stop?”

“No, no.”

Eun-chae shook her head.

Seo-kyung wouldn’t know her heart, which was both happy and sad. He would just think that she wanted to escape from this place. He would just think that she wanted to end it quickly and run away.

Of course, she had those feelings too, but that wasn’t all, so her heart ached.

“Or enjoy it. Don’t make me feel like I’m raping a woman who doesn’t want me.”

Eun-chae shuddered at his cold voice.

Yes, she came here willingly. Let’s just close our eyes and enjoy tonight. For the first and last time.

She nodded slowly.

As if asking for permission, Seo-kyung’s lips moved again to her lips, her neck, and further down.

Every time his lips passed, the unnecessary clothes for this act disappeared without a trace.

It was fortunate that the lights had been turned off, thanks to the passage of time. She didn’t have to show Seo-kyung her naked body, which had been stripped from the entrance.

Of course, he didn’t care about that.

He was busy moving his lips, leaving sticky marks all over Eun-chae’s body.

Eun-chae’s legs gradually lost strength from the movements of his wet, hot, and sometimes sharp tongue and teeth.

“Seo-kyung... heuht.”

She bit her lip, but couldn’t stop the moans from escaping.

He continued to stimulate her with his hands and mouth, teasing her as she tried to hold on to her sanity.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she tried to hold on to her reason.

“Has this body been satisfied with just me?”

Seo-kyung sneered in a thick voice before burying his face in her neck and biting her shoulder.

“You would have eventually left me, unsatisfied.”

She wanted to push him away right now in humiliation, but she endured it.

She didn’t want to run away after coming this far. Since all the misunderstandings he had were her fault, she had to endure it.

He lowered the hand that had been gripping her wrist and pulled her naked body inside.

Even though the lights were off, she could roughly gauge the size of the room from the light coming in from outside and the moonlight.

It’s big. He lives alone in this big house.

She entered the bedroom, passing through the living room, which was the size of several of her single rooms combined.

Seo-kyung pushed Eun-chae onto the bed as if throwing her.

He unbuckled his belt, threw off his pants, and climbed on top of her.

When she felt his bare skin touching her stomach, her whole body tensed. It was inevitable, as it was her first time encountering a man’s body.

His firm chest and finely chiseled abdominal muscles came into view in her eyes, which had become accustomed to the darkness. And below that too.

When she turned her head away with a flushed face, he grabbed her chin and turned it back.

“Why? Like you’re seeing me for the first time?”

He slowly positioned himself between her legs.

As their hot bodies touched, the fear that she had barely suppressed finally washed over her.

It was the moment when she felt a ruthless pain in her frozen body from Seo-kyung’s eyes staring down at her.

“Wa, wait, just a moment.”

Eun-chae quickly pushed his chest with her palms, but his firm body didn’t budge at all.

Tears streamed down her face at the slow, encroaching pain.

“Why like this...”

Seo-kyung furrowed his handsome brow, finding it difficult to penetrate her properly.

“Don’t tell me...”

He suddenly relaxed his body and moved away from her.

“Hic, hic.”

Eun-chae turned her body away from the pain and shame, burying her face in the soft blanket. The tears that flowed down wet her cheeks and nose, then warmed the blanket.

Seo-kyung got up, turned on the light next to the bed, and looked at her.

“Your first... time?”

The end of his voice cracked as he asked.

It was a voice mixed with various emotions, as if he was surprised, angry, and regretful.

“Answer me.”

“...Yes, it’s my first time.”

“Why?”

Why?

Still burying her face in the blanket, Eun-chae gripped the blanket tightly with her hands.

Because there was only one man in her life, Baek Seo-kyung. Because he had left her alone even though they were married, she had never embraced another man.

She couldn’t be held by the man she loved, and she couldn’t love anyone else.

“You clearly said you had someone you loved... you clearly said you were going to be with that man as soon as we divorced...”

Seo-kyung couldn’t finish his sentence properly.

When the heat disappeared, a chill returned, and Eun-chae, covering herself with the blanket, raised her head.

Seo-kyung stared at her, still covered in tears, with a mixture of emotions.

Although they hadn’t completed the act, she knew he wouldn’t hold her tonight.

She wanted to go home.

“Please give me my clothes.”

“...”

“I want to go home.”

He got up, picked up a gown from a chair in the corner of the bedroom, and came to her. He draped it over her shoulders as she sat up, swaying.

“Wear this. And stay the night.”

“No, I have to go to work tomorrow...”

“Please.”

Eun-chae couldn’t believe her ears.

She raised her head and looked at him, wondering if he had really said “please.”

“I’m asking you.”

It was true.

He was pleading with her, looking at her with pitiful eyes.

“But tomorrow...”

“It’s an order.”

He had clearly asked her, but now he changed his words, saying it was an order.

“Our deal hasn’t progressed at all yet. You got the full-time position, but I got nothing.”
