In the end, the result of my poor concentration led to Manager Park’s scolding. It hadn’t even been 5 minutes since I’d emailed him the materials he asked me to pull.
Normally I would’ve thought ‘Manager Park is bitching about nothing again’ and gone with an empty head, but now the situation was different. Since my mind was wandering, I thought I might have actually made a mistake.
“Yes, Manager.”
First, I started with my hands clasped behind my back. At least my posture should be polite to get scolded less.
“How many years have you been with the company!”
“……3rd year.”
Of course, I knew well that Manager Park wasn’t asking because he was curious about my years of service.
“Recite the year-over-year growth rate formula.”
“This year’s sales minus last year’s sales divided by last year’s sales.”
Fuck, fuck. Warning bells rang in my anxiously trembling head. Don’t tell me I got the growth rate formula wrong?
“Hey, you come look at this.”
Manager Park clicked on the cell where the growth rate was calculated in the file I sent.
“I’m sorry. I’ll correct it.”
Without looking at it for long, an apology immediately burst from my mouth. I must have really lost it. The formula had this year’s sales minus last year’s sales, then divided by this year’s sales.
“Is the growth rate year-over-year growth rate, or this-year-over growth rate?”
“Year-over-year.”
“You know that but you fuck up the growth rate formula like this!?”
I had nothing to say even with a hundred mouths.
“You’re a 3rd year and you can’t even pull the growth rate properly!?”
My head bowed deeply on its own.
“No, if the growth rate is like this, the sales staff should have a sense that the numbers are off! Are you still a new employee!?”
I was genuinely embarrassed. Manager Park’s voice was already really loud, and he also tended to believe that scolding subordinates was a way to show his authority, so the sound of me getting scolded echoed loudly throughout the entire office.
It was my fault for not keeping my head straight, but in a corner of my heart, a sense of rebellion sprouted, wondering if this was really something worth scolding me this much over when he could just tell me to fix it.
“I’ll correct it right away and send it again.”
“Get your head straight, you bastard!”
“Yes.”
When I trudged back to my seat and looked at the file I’d sent again, I felt genuinely ashamed. If only I could turn back time just 30 minutes. Then I would’ve focused on work instead of caring about rumors about Seo Heejin.
I needed the time-reversing hourglass that Seo Heejin might have right now. As I let out a deep sigh, messages started coming in rapid succession.
Seo Heejin
Yunwoo hyung! 15:23
Hyung! 15:23
Wanna get sucked off? 15:23
It was Seo Heejin.
The energy of excitement was wafting from the messages. If I was down from getting scolded, the happiest person in this office would be Seo Heejin. Not a different Seo Heejin, but that very Seo Heejin who’d said he liked me so many times.
Even without me reading or replying, the excited Seo Heejin poured out messages.
Seo Heejin
Hyung. Should I wait in the bathroom? 15:23
If you’re worried because it’s work hours, should I go to the next building to suck you off? I found a clean place 15:23
Or even in the evening? Should I go to your place, hyung? 15:24
Yeah. I want you to suck me off 15:24
Oh boy, Seo Heejin. What would you have done if I hadn’t gotten scolded, from all that longing?
I wondered when he even toured the bathrooms of nearby buildings, and it was so absurd I almost laughed.
The situation was just funny, so I tried sending a positive reply for the first time to Seo Heejin’s “wanna get sucked off?” attacks. But then Seo Heejin had the audacity to read the message and not even reply. Thinking ‘what the?’, when I peeked my head out to look at Seo Heejin, I could understand why.
Seo Heejin, who always maintained a poker face no matter what messages he was sending me, was frozen solid staring at his monitor. Then, as if doubting whether he’d seen wrong, he rubbed his eyes hard and brought his face right up to the monitor.
After bringing it up first himself.
Seo Heejin. I said I want you to suck me off? 15:25
Seo Heejin
Hyung. This isn’t a dream, right? I almost screamed because I’m so happy right now 15:25
The sight was funny, so I sent another message and looked at Seo Heejin, whose mouth was half-open.
What older woman, what managing multiple prospects for a guy like this? Looking at the reply, I felt sorry for myself for imagining Seo Heejin’s non-existent other woman, getting a basic formula wrong, and being called in by Manager Park.
I should hurry and fix the mistakes and resubmit. While Seo Heejin, who’d almost screamed in the office, was busily making plans with me on his own, I didn’t reply even once.
***
As quitting time approached, Seo Heejin started nagging me about what time I was planning to leave. When I didn’t answer properly, he started acting all pitiful, saying he’d even canceled his dinner plans and was preparing to give me a blowjob.
In the end, unable to resist Seo Heejin’s nagging, I had no choice but to finish up my work appropriately and leave. Anyway, starting next week was settlement period so overtime was confirmed, so I should leave early this week at least.
As soon as I left work, I was dragged to my own place as if kidnapped by Seo Heejin. I was the one who was depressed and needed to get my dick sucked, but instead Seo Heejin was the one breathing roughly and impatiently.
At this rate, aren’t I going to be the one getting sucked off first? That thought was brief—as soon as we entered the house, Seo Heejin sat on the edge of the bed and spread his legs wide. Even without saying it out loud, I could hear Seo Heejin’s inner voice shouting hurry, hurry!
“How did you hold back at the office?”
As I scolded Seo Heejin and crouched down in front of him, long fingers played with my hair.
“I almost said I was leaving early today.”
“You should’ve.”
“What’s the point of me doing it alone when hyung can’t leave early?”
Listening to his sulky voice, I undid the suit belt and buckle. Even without me sucking him off, Seo Heejin’s cock was already fully prepared.
As I pushed up the boxer fabric and fumbled to pull out his hard dick, an “ahh” moan rang out from above my head. Seo Heejin’s big, audacious cock looked appetizing today too. This is the one that comes inside my body, stirs me up completely, and makes me lose my mind, right? Even knowing that, it felt remarkably impressive.
As I tapped the glans with my finger, playing with it, then gripped it fully with both hands and was about to put it in my mouth, something I’d forgotten suddenly came to mind.
“Seo Heejin, do you have a noona?”
So I asked his cock. The sight of me holding his dick like a microphone and talking was funny even to me. Anyway, my theory was that what people saw was Seo Heejin’s family. If they resembled Seo Heejin, they’d be pretty. Enough to catch the eye.
“I don’t? I’m an only child.”
Ah, is that not it?
“What about cousin noonas?”
“Mm… I do have them, but I haven’t contacted them in like five years? Six years? I’m really not close with my family.”
When my reasoning was smashed to pieces, embarrassment suddenly rushed over me. Then who was the woman Deputy Go’s colleagues saw? Is it okay to ask about this? It seems a bit pathetic.
I have relationships besides Seo Heejin too, so Seo Heejin could also have close people I don’t know about. Even thinking that, it bothered me. Honestly, it couldn’t not bother me.
“Why suddenly that?”
“It’s nothing…”
What do I mean nothing? All my thoughts were already focused on Seo Heejin’s older woman girlfriend, and I lost my appetite even for the feast before my eyes.
Perhaps thinking my reaction was strange, Seo Heejin suddenly went “heave-ho” and stood me up, sitting me on his lap.
This position was the official interrogation position designated by Seo Heejin.
A position that prevented me from running away, making me face him directly while he asked until I confessed everything. Caught in Seo Heejin’s technique, I tried hard to roll my eyes and avoid him, but I had no way to deal with that direct gaze.
“What is it, hyung?”
At times like this, hugging was best. When I grabbed his nape tightly, Seo Heejin stretched out his hands to support my back and waist so my body could be held stably. Reassured by those tender hands and escaping from Seo Heejin’s persistent gaze, I gained a bit of courage to ask.
“You know… I’m just asking because I’m curious…”
Having courage meant I could start speaking, but it didn’t mean I could speak clearly without mumbling. Seo Heejin calmly lowered his hand that had been holding my waist and kneaded my butt while waiting for my next words.
“People at the company said they saw you with a woman…”
