I wrapped my arms around his back. I was planning to scratch his back hard because it was difficult to endure.
But…!
His subsequent actions were slow, affectionate, and gentle, causing my tensed body to gradually melt, and pleasure began to spread from the sensitive areas.
“Haah… I feel like I’m going crazy with pleasure. Juwon.”
A stifled sigh burst from him. My mind flew away, and I clung to his back.
“Fa-faster…”
He explored inside me again and kissed my neck and various parts of my face. Unable to handle the surging pleasure, I dug my nails into his back.
“Haah…”
Something inside me burst with a thud. While I was floating and wandering at the peak, his voice rolled around my ear.
“I love you sincerely.”
The physical intimacy that began as rough as a fistfight, progressed with a yearning for affection, and ended with a heavy confession. The weight of the words “I love you” pressed down on me as heavily as his body weight.
Even my parents never sacrificed anything for me, so I never expected to meet the first person who sacrificed for me in a completely different world.
How nice would it be if this kind of love was directed at me instead of Yoon Juwon? Yoon Juwon is fortunate. To experience this kind of love…
With such thoughts, I opened my eyes that had been closed, and deep blue eyes were staring at me.
“I think I love the current you a little more than the previous you.”
I must still not have come down from my climax. Judging by the auditory hallucination…
* * *
After falling asleep, I barely woke up and raised my heavy body. I hadn’t slept much, but Hajin, who had been by my side, was nowhere to be seen. I checked my phone and found a message from Hajin.
[You were sleeping so soundly that I couldn’t wake you. Eat when Hahyun comes later. I’ll contact you in the meantime.]
I sent Hajin a reply that I’d just woken up and stretched. When I turned my head towards the window, it was already dark outside.
10 PM, hasn’t Hahyun come yet?
Just as my stomach growled, the intercom rang.
“Who could it be? If it were Hahyun, he would have entered using the keypad…”
I carefully went downstairs to check who it was. An unexpected person appeared on the screen.
Why Secretary Kim…
Thinking that I absolutely must not be discovered, I held my breath. Then my phone started ringing. The caller ID was restricted.
Was this person the owner of the suspicious calls?
Otherwise, the timing couldn’t be this perfect. With trembling hands, I barely answered the phone.
– Hello? Mr. Yoon Juwon.
“…”
Hearing Secretary Kim’s voice, I felt dizzy and had no time to think about what to do. I couldn’t say anything and just held the phone.
– If it’s difficult to speak, you don’t have to. But could you please open the door? Keeping an older person waiting outside for a long time isn’t mannerly, is it?
“…”
– If you don’t open it, I’ll call the police right now, so think about which would be better.
The mention of police made my hair stand on end. But I was afraid to open the door, so I decided to try to persuade Secretary Kim.
“Hahyun will be here soon. It seems you’ve come here without the brothers knowing, but it would be better if you left.”
– Do you think I would come here without knowing that much? Young Master Seo Hahyun can’t come here. And didn’t CEO Seo Hajin just leave?
“…”
– Why is such an intelligent person acting like this? When I’ve come looking for you like this, wouldn’t I have considered everything?
Secretary Kim was cunningly trying to lure me. Since he thought my relationship with Hajin was hostile, he seemed to have judged that I wouldn’t refuse his proposal.
“How do you plan to help me?”
– Well, that depends on what you can do for me, doesn’t it? Hehe.
It seems my prediction was right. For a moment, I thought that I might be able to help Hajin by reversing the current situation.
But can I really trust Secretary Kim? I was worried, but there were CCTVs, and I had set up my phone so that with just one button press, Hajin would be contacted immediately in case of an emergency, so it seemed okay.
“Given the situation, I’ve become very suspicious. Let’s hear what you have to say first.”
I said something that Yoon Juwon would likely say and opened the door. Shortly after, Secretary Kim entered the house.
“I apologize for the late night intrusion.”
“…It’s fine as long as the brothers don’t find out.”
He entered the living room, looked me up and down, and showed a disagreeable smile. He seemed surprised that my condition was quite good for someone who was supposedly being held captive. I guided him to the sofa and brought out some tea.
“You must be having a hard time?”
“More importantly, how did you know I was here? The brothers wouldn’t have told you…”
Secretary Kim’s eyes gleamed wickedly. Looking at those eyes made me nervous and break into a cold sweat. If Secretary Kim could so easily find out my phone number and where I was, it seemed the police might find out soon too.
Secretary Kim checked his wristwatch, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
“It’s not an important matter, but to become allies, I need to gain your trust first, so I’ll tell you.”
I casually threw out a question.
“Did you perhaps plant some kind of listening device?”
“Since you’re so sensitive about that, all bugging attempts failed, and I tracked the people who work for CEO Seo Hajin. What kind of phone they buy, what their numbers are. I didn’t know who you were when you didn’t speak, but after hearing your voice, I recognized you. That you were Yoon Juwon.”
“I see.”
So I was discovered because of the phone. Is it fortunate that it wasn’t bugging?
Although I was trying to appear calm, I felt like my throat was constricting from the tension.
“Anyway, you must have been through a lot.”
“Yes, I want to get out of here, but as you know, they have leverage over me, so I can’t leave.”
He nodded.
“I understand.”
“You haven’t alerted the police, have you? I don’t like being confined here, but I dislike being arrested even more.”
“If I had, the police would have barged in already.”
Secretary Kim seemed completely deceived. I went straight to the point.
“So? How do you plan to help me? Are you going to clear my false charges?”
“Well, first things first is making sure the management rights go to the right person at this upcoming board meeting. Plans are progressing smoothly in line with that.”
“That’s surprising. Seo Hajin wouldn’t be such an easy opponent.”
Secretary Kim’s brow furrowed. He seemed hurt in his pride since I had referred to the young Seo Hajin as a formidable opponent.
“Even so, he’s just a novice doing management for the first time, isn’t he? You don’t need to worry about that.”
“…Then what do you need my help with? There shouldn’t be anything I can do in the management rights battle.”
“Once the young master takes the management rights, CEO Seo Hajin will probably do whatever it takes to get them back.”
“That will be troublesome.”
“Exactly. So, here’s the thing.”
Secretary Kim’s following words were chilling. After Hahyun took the management rights, Secretary Kim planned to use me to report Hajin to the police for false imprisonment and kidnapping.
Since the reason Yoon Juwon was suspected was that he disappeared right after Chairman Seo’s death, if he claimed that Seo Hajin had imprisoned him so he couldn’t go out, the charges would be cleared.
“It’s good for me because I can completely break CEO Seo Hajin’s power, and it’s good for you, Mr. Yoon Juwon, because you can clear your charges and work as the main model for Fashion Group H. Wouldn’t that be great?”
To hide the fact that I was nervous, I firmly held my trembling hands under the table and forced a smile.
“Indeed, Secretary Kim is a strategist. Actually, I had been thinking about that aspect too, but I had no way to contact you.”
“I knew Yoon Juwon would understand well.”
After checking his phone, Secretary Kim rose from his seat.
“Ah, lastly, if you hear anything about me while having conversations in the house, please contact me separately.”
“Well, that’s not difficult.”
“Yes.”
I pretended to be calm and said goodbye to Secretary Kim as he left. The sound of the heavy door closing seemed especially loud.
As soon as Secretary Kim left, I felt all the strength leaving my body and collapsed right there.
By the time I managed to get up from the entrance, cold sweat was streaming down my back.
After coming to my senses, the only thought in my mind was that I needed to contact Hajin. With trembling hands, I texted Hajin that Secretary Kim had been to the house. Not long after, a call came through.
“Hajin-ssi? Are you not busy?”
– I’m a bit busy… What did Secretary Kim come for? No, why did you open the door?
“He threatened to call the police.”
– Hmm… So?
“As expected, he made a nasty proposal. So I said I’d cooperate.”
I heard a refreshing laugh from the other end of the phone.
“Why are you laughing? Do you like that I’m betraying you?”
– Because you’re cute. It’s not like it’s the first or second time Yoon Juwon has betrayed me. If I disliked you for such things, I would have stopped seeing you long ago.
After hearing that, I couldn’t say anything. Because Hajin’s words sounded like he was saying he would like me no matter what I did.
