‘I just need to kill time and then go home.’
I entered an empty room, settled in, and spent time, but since there was nothing to do, time passed terribly slowly. The room was unpleasantly spacious with nothing in it.
Lee Dojun really seemed to have no plans, as he didn’t come to my room. He calls me to his house and then loses interest—he’s a unique guy.
‘Time is passing though.’
Fortunately, time did pass as I aimlessly browsed the internet on my phone. Looking out the window, the sun was setting. I should be able to go home now.
I went out of the room and started looking for Lee Dojun. I wandered around various places in this model house-like home where no humanity could be found, and discovered Lee Dojun in what appeared to be a study.
“CEO-nim, the sun has set, so may I leave?”
“May you?”
“…”
“It’s late, so let’s at least eat.”
“I’m fine without food.”
Grumble—
Is there a mouse hole I can hide in somewhere? At this timing of all times, my tactless stomach made a grumbling sound. The grumbling sound spread clearly throughout the quiet house.
“I don’t know. Your stomach doesn’t seem to agree.”
“…”
“Eat.”
Lee Dojun brought out a cooked steak. The outside seemed cooked, but when I cut a cross-section slightly with a knife, blood immediately welled up from inside.
‘This doesn’t even seem to be rare.’
“What is this? Did you even cook it?”
“…You require so much attention.”
After Lee Dojun showed his irritation, he took my plate and threw the steak into the sink. To throw away that precious beef without hesitation. A bastard who deserves divine punishment.
“What are you doing?”
“You said you can’t eat it.”
He deliberately took out new meat and cooked the steak again. He should have just cooked the original meat more instead of throwing it away. Seeing this rich bastard casually committing resource waste made me think all sorts of thoughts.
“Why steak of all things?”
“…You talk so much while eating. If you’re going to work, you need to eat heartily, right?”
Watching Lee Dojun eat the steak with blood dripping in front of him as if it were nothing, I thought he wasn’t normal.
What does eating meat to work and sitting me in front of him have to do with each other? Thinking he’d let me go home if I ate, I silently started eating the meat.
* * *
“Urk.”
I understood the meaning of the ‘work’ Lee Dojun mentioned. Very impure intentions were implied within that word.
He took me to the bedroom and skillfully laid me on the bed. After laying me down, he looked down at me from above with eyes like someone picking up and carefully examining goods at a mart.
‘This isn’t his first or second time doing this.’
“I don’t think this is right.”
“Playing dumb won’t work.”
Our bodies overlapped in an instant. It was difficult to move, crushed under his solid body.
A series of actions—naturally removing the shirt I was wearing and gently bringing his lips to mine—proceeded as naturally as flowing water. The kiss was very gentle unlike last time, but while I was off guard, his tongue was trying to enter inside me again.
‘No.’
A fundamental fear arose that if things continued like this, Lee Dojun might take away something precious of mine. When I pushed him away forcefully, he looked at me with an expression like he’d devour me.
“Let’s take it slowly.”
“What?”
Lee Dojun frowned as if he’d heard something he couldn’t hear.
“CEO-nim said it before. That I’d be fun to play with. Think carefully. If you handle a toy roughly, it breaks quickly. Let’s take it slowly.”
Saying things like ‘the other person gets hurt when you do this’ doesn’t work on psychopaths. Others’ emotions aren’t important to them. The most effective thing is to tell them what disadvantages come to them each time they perform certain actions.
Whether it worked, Lee Dojun separated from my body. Just a little later and an irreversible thing might have occurred. From now on, the only thing I can rely on is my quick wit.
“Fine. Let’s stop here for today.”
“Yes, CEO-nim. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow? You need to sleep over.”
“My home is nearby, and I don’t want to impose on someone else’s house.”
“This is an order.”
I was supposed to meet Seo Hanryul at the agency tomorrow. If I’m not careful, I might face Seo Hanryul and Lee Dojun at the same time. I thought I just had to meet on Saturdays, but that was wrong thinking.
Spend a whole day here and see his face again tomorrow? Is toying with me that fun? When will Lee Dojun’s interest fade? How can I prevent him from releasing the photos? As I struggled alone to find the answer, I just felt helpless.
* * *
In the end, the unfortunate incident of spending a night at Lee Dojun’s house occurred. I had to spend the night lying in the same bed as him.
Fortunately, the bed size was large, so I lay down as far away from him as possible. In case he might do something strange to me, I couldn’t close my eyes comfortably all night.
I couldn’t even make a rustling sound in case that sensitive guy woke up. If he woke up and did something inappropriate to me, there would be no answer, so I stuck to the bed like a barnacle and didn’t move.
“Good morning.”
“Ah, yes.”
The annoying bastard just slept quietly, and in the end, only poor me couldn’t sleep a wink. He slept well alone, woke up, and greeted me in the morning with a refreshed face—I wanted to punch that clear face.
‘Endure. I must endure.’
“Get in.”
“It’s fine. I’ll go separately.”
“Don’t make me say the same thing multiple times.”
Even after leaving the house, the tiresome situation repeated. I had no choice but to become a passenger without even knowing Lee Dojun’s destination.
‘So the place we’re coming to is Youth.’
The destination was Youth Entertainment. Lee Dojun seems to plan to confine me at Youth until before lunch. It’ll be quite a headache situation if I run into Seo Hanryul.
“What brings you here from the morning?”
Nothing goes my way. I ran into Seo Hanryul in front of the elevator. Seo Hanryul’s face crumpled when he saw me standing side by side with Lee Dojun.
I don’t know anymore. It’s been how long since the 6 months ended, and what are you going to do with that crumpled face? Seo Hanryul looked at my eyes and demanded an explanation, but I cleanly ignored him.
When the door opened, the three of us entered the elevator in turn. Entering the narrow space together created a suffocating atmosphere.
After realizing that Lee Dojun had no interest in Seo Hanryul whatsoever, I thought it was right to lose interest in the original story. It seems the original flow has been going to Andromeda for quite a while.
“Jiwon-ssi, it seems you stayed out last night. Your clothes are the same.”
Lee Dojun suddenly opened his mouth. Calling me Jiwon-ssi in front of Seo Hanryul was very amusing. This is because Lee Dojun also knows well that Seo Hanryul knows my identity.
To say the person who was with me yesterday stayed out. Very inappropriate words that don’t need to be said in front of Seo Hanryul. Seo Hanryul, perhaps bothered by Lee Dojun’s words, glanced at my outfit.
“…There were circumstances that led to that.”
“It seems you use the same perfume as me. Judging by the same smell.”
The damned bastard seems to plan to spread rumors that he was with me all day.
“You’re joking too much. I don’t use perfume.”
Seo Hanryul didn’t join in the ridiculous conversation and just watched the situation. When the door opened on the floor Seo Hanryul pressed, he said see you later and quietly got off. He walked out so quickly that I couldn’t see his expression.
“Jiwon-ssi, is there something on my back?”
“…”
“Why are you staring holes through me?”
“No particular meaning.”
“Let’s see each other at lunch. Wait in the conference room.”
When the door closed, Lee Dojun revealed his true colors again. Leaving me alone and walking into the CEO’s office by himself—I wanted to throw a raw egg at his back.
* * *
“What’s with two men being so dreary?”
I thought we’d at least go to a restaurant for lunch. Lee Dojun took me to a quiet grassy area with hardly anyone around.
A suit and grass, a picnic with Lee Dojun. What a truly mismatched and bizarre combination.
“Didn’t you say you were quitting as manager?”
“Because CEO-nim despicably threatened me with someone else’s photos, I decided to do it a bit longer. I need to be worried enough to not be able to sleep.”
I really wanted to tell Lee Dojun he was despicable. In this strange situation with no idea when it will end, even if I’m exhausted, I thought that if I say what I need to say, I can at least avoid dying from suppressed anger.
“Stop being interested in Seo Hanryul. Don’t even you think it’s excessive interest beyond a manager?”
“How many times do I have to say it? I’m not interested in that guy. Would someone like CEO-nim be interested in someone with that kind of personality?”
“I don’t share what’s mine with others.”
I understand very well what that means. It’s truly a chuunibyou-like line. I’m temporarily Lee Dojun’s toy right now, so he means don’t play around with others.
