After that, we showered and did some light petting. While petting, I fingered Yoonseo’s inside, and unlike before, it was good that Yoonseo felt it well without any discomfort. Of course, if we’re talking about who felt more, I was the one overwhelmingly moaning and acting disgustingly needy.
I don’t know how long we had sex, but when we started earlier it was just sunset, and by the time we finished washing up, it was already the middle of the night.
“You’re staying over, right?”
I nodded at Yoonseo’s question. Tomorrow was a deadline day anyway, and I couldn’t just leave after fingering Yoonseo’s inside like that. Besides, Yoonseo took quite a while to climax, so I was exhausted from holding back my own orgasm to match his pace. Even without all those reasons, it was obvious that Yoonseo had better stamina than me.
“You’re finally staying over.”
At Yoonseo’s words mixed with laughter, I felt a bit embarrassed and laughed awkwardly. Watching that, Yoonseo let out a deflated laugh and asked me.
“I’m hungry, what should we eat?”
“I’m fine with anything.”
As if he hadn’t expected anything, Yoonseo arbitrarily ordered something and tossed his phone aside. His hair was still damp from just getting out of the shower.
“Shouldn’t you dry your hair?”
“Hyung doesn’t dry yours either.”
“It’s a bit bothersome.”
“Should I dry it for you?”
“While not drying your own hair.”
Without a word, I went to the bathroom, brought the hairdryer, and dried Yoonseo’s hair. Yoonseo silently accepted the hands drying his hair. Perhaps because it was a good hairdryer, his hair dried in an instant.
“Wow. Your hair dries really fast. Where’s this from?”
“Should I buy you one?”
It was a casual remark, but from that comment, I could instantly tell the price range of this hairdryer.
“It’s okay.”
“Why?”
After combing through Yoonseo’s dried hair with my hands to tidy it, I started drying my own hair. As expected, my hair dried quickly, and I roughly arranged it before putting the hairdryer back in its place.
“The things hyung would give me are too expensive.”
“If I put my mind to it, I’d give you even more expensive things.”
“…That’s a bit…”
“Why?”
Yoonseo asked as if he genuinely didn’t understand. I didn’t respond and just fiddled with the robe I borrowed from Yoonseo. Honestly, I was curious about the price of this robe too, but I didn’t really want to ask.
“What did you order?”
“Pizza.”
“Were you craving it?”
“A little…”
After saying that, Yoonseo went to the living room and sat down on the sofa almost lying down. When he turned on the TV with the remote, it smoothly entered an OTT program.
“Want to watch a movie?”
“Put on whatever you want to watch, hyung.”
“Well…”
After pondering, Yoonseo just randomly played an action movie from the top 10 rankings. The movie had no real plot but had flashy action, so it was good for watching without thinking.
While watching the movie, a call came from outside. Yoonseo answered the phone and soon hung up.
“They’re here?”
“Yes.”
Shortly after, Yoonseo brought the pizza and casually unpacked it on the table. I tried to get up to bring small plates, but Yoonseo stood up again.
“I’ll bring them.”
At my words, Yoonseo looked at me and chuckled.
“Do you have the energy?”
Of course I had the energy to bring small plates, but I obediently sat down. Rather than having a power struggle over a small plate, it was mutually beneficial to act cute and get out of one task.
I ate pizza while focusing on the movie. Out of eight slices, I ate five and Yoonseo only ate three. He said he ate more than usual even at that.
“How do you maintain your body, hyung? Eating that much.”
“It’s natural. I also exercise. At one point I ate a lot to maintain calories, but now I’ve settled on just eating frequently.”
“Do you like exercise?”
“I hate it, but I just do it to maintain my body.”
“Gym? Sports?”
“The gym is my best option. Still, since I do high-intensity workouts consistently without rest, I can maintain it.”
It was a bit surprising that Yoonseo disliked exercise. His body was so good that I thought exercise would be his hobby. Besides, when I thought of a young master, I imagined someone who enjoyed expensive sports. Like yachting, horseback riding, things like that.
“Haven’t you learned any sports?”
“I have. I’ve tried various things.”
“But you didn’t like them?”
“Now, rather than completely disliking them… I get really angry when I lose.”
At Yoonseo’s words, I burst out laughing without realizing it. In all my life, this was the first time I’d met someone who disliked sports for that reason. Yoonseo was about to say something to me but just smiled back. We didn’t even watch the movie from the middle, so I don’t even remember how it ended.

When I woke up, Yoonseo wasn’t beside me. When I went out to the living room, Yoonseo had his laptop open and was on the phone with someone. From what I could tell, since I couldn’t understand anything he was saying, it seemed to be German. I watched Yoonseo speaking German with my arms crossed, then approached after he hung up.
“Team Leader Jung…”
At my words, Yoonseo answered cheekily.
“You seemed to have pushed yourself quite a bit yesterday, is your body okay?”
“I’m not sure.”
At my words, Yoonseo chuckled and stroked my neck with one hand, where he had finally left marks yesterday by biting and sucking.
“What do you want to eat?”
“The timing seems awkward.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have to go to work. It’s a deadline, so it’s in the afternoon, but I think it’s better to eat at home and go. I need to change clothes too.”
“I’ll lend you clothes. I can just drive you there on time.”
I gestured at the laptop.
“You’re busy.”
At my words, Yoonseo immediately closed the laptop.
“Not so busy that I can’t drive you.”
“Still. And I need to cover all this on my neck too. How can I go to work with this? Do you have any patches?”
I rummaged through the first aid kit Yoonseo found and discovered patches, plastering them all over my neck. I really look like an injured person.
“You’re really going?”
“I really have to go.”
“How about quitting…”
“No.”
After firmly telling Yoonseo, I picked up the clothes I wore yesterday and put them back on. Yoonseo looked at it with displeasure and sighed.
“…I’ll drive you, so eat before you go. I already ordered.”
I pondered for a moment, then obediently sat down in front of Yoonseo. When he wants to drive me, it wouldn’t be polite to refuse.
***
After eating as well, time was really tight. Fortunately, Yoonseo lent me new underwear he hadn’t worn, so it seemed I could go straight to work. After all, I’d change into a uniform and had already showered. I got into Yoonseo’s car.
Yoonseo skillfully played music and drove.
“What kind of music do you like?”
At Yoonseo’s question, I pondered and shrugged my shoulders.
“I don’t really listen to it normally. After all, what plays all day at the store when I’m working is music.”
At my words, Yoonseo chuckled lightly and hummed along to the song. I watched Yoonseo for a moment, then slightly opened the window, closed my eyes while feeling the breeze.
Before I knew it, Yoonseo’s car had arrived in front of the cafe. Yoonseo let out a long sigh and said.
“Even now, can’t you not go?”
“Of course not.”
As soon as I got out of the car, I spotted Cha Hyunwoo putting out recycling trash in front. He usually puts it out during deadlines, but seeing him throw it out now, it seemed today was really busy inside.
“I’m really going.”
After unbuckling my seatbelt and getting out of the car, I immediately greeted Hyunwoo. …It felt very awkward, but I couldn’t not greet him.
“Boss!”
“Oh, Hyun-a.”
Cha Hyunwoo spotted me and smiled back, then frowned after checking on Jung Yoonseo through the open window.
“…Yoonseo hyung?”
…Did the two of them know each other?
- The Only Thing I Know Is That I Know Nothing
I searched through my memories to see if Cha Hyunwoo and Jung Yoonseo knew each other, but it was definitely information that didn’t appear in the original work. No, in the first place, Jung Yoonseo and Cha Hyunwoo never met each other in the original.
“Do you two know each other?”
Instead of answering my question, Jung Yoonseo parked the car on the shoulder and got out entirely. I’d never been told I was short or small anywhere, but for some reason being between the two of them made me feel smaller. Honestly, I was curious what their relationship was, so I just quietly stared at them. …Hyunwoo’s here too, so he’ll probably forgive me if I’m a few minutes late, right?
“How do you two know each other?”
