Chapter 3 (Part 6)

The meeting concluded in 60 minutes.

Yoo-ra from the PR team spoke while tidying up the place.

“We’ll have a rehearsal next week. Only you, Ms. Seo-hye and our PR team staff will be moving, so just keep that in mind.”

With those words, the meeting wrapped up, and everyone left the room after exchanging farewells.

In the now quiet space, only Do-jin and Seo-hye remained.

Seo-hye started organizing the printouts and USB she had received into her bag, recalling Hwa-woong’s request.

“Since the secretary is coming, I can’t send Mr. Kim, so make sure to check in every 30 minutes.”

Chastising herself for forgetting, she quickly typed a message.

[Grandfather. The meeting started as soon as I arrived, so I didn’t have a chance to text you. The meeting is over now, and I’m heading home.]

At that moment, the phone slipped right out of her hand.

Seo-hye frowned at Do-jin, who had snatched her phone away.

“You saved my number as ‘Delivery,’ and as soon as work ends, who are you contacting in such a way that makes me annoyed?”

He looked at the screen, tapped it a few times, and then handed it back to her.

Seo-hye couldn’t believe her eyes.

[Meeting postponed by two hours. Having lunch with the secretary now, discussing program-related matters.]

“W-what is this!”

Setting aside the lie, the tone…

“This text is for my grandfather!”

“He’ll probably think you were busy and kept it concise. By the way, it bothered me throughout the meeting.”

Suddenly, he reached out and tucked the hair that partially covered her cheek behind her ear.

Then he pointed to the scratch from Chae-seon’s ring yesterday.

“Another mark, huh?”

His voice was as cold as a sudden cold snap.

“I told you not to let anyone touch your face.”

Seo-hye swatted away his hand that was close to her cheek.

“If you come back with another injury, I’ll forcibly take you out of that house, so keep that in mind.”

“By what right do you say you’ll forcibly take me out of my house… And didn’t I talk to you alone yesterday? I clearly asked you to break off the marriage talks yesterday.”

“Yes, Seo-hye, you spoke alone. I didn’t respond.”

Seo-hye’s brow furrowed awkwardly.

“Have I been overly kind to you?”

His voice, which had fallen, was brutally cold.

“That’s why you keep taking my words as a joke, right? Hmm?”

“…….”

“This issue is surprisingly simple, Ms. Seo-hye.”

With an uncomfortable expression, Seo-hye turned her head sharply to the side, rejecting his gaze.

But he continued to speak firmly, undeterred.

“If I hadn’t known at all, it might be different, but I’ve tasted something artistic.”

He grabbed Seo-hye’s chin and pulled her to face him directly.

In that unavoidable moment when their eyes met.

“I’m talking about your body.”

“…….”

“I think about you day and night, and just the thought of your name, Seo-hye, makes me stand.”

Seo-hye struggled, shaking her head to free her chin from his grasp.

“Of course, I can’t marry your sister or any other woman. Unless you agree to be my lifelong partner, regardless of whether I have a wife.”

“Crazy….”

At Seo-hye’s curse, he laughed and released her chin. Then he took a step back with his large frame.

As his shadow lifted from her face, she finally felt like she could breathe. But immediately, a bewildering question came at her, tightening around her throat.

“So I’m curious. Do you get wet thinking about me too, Ms. Seo-hye?”

His voice cracked enticingly at the end.

If she kept listening, she felt she might be completely captivated, to the point where it wouldn’t matter if he laid her down and shook her intensely.

She stood up from the chair. Then quickly packed her belongings into her bag from the desk.

Turning to leave without even a goodbye, he roughly grabbed her arm, stopping her.

“Take the painting today.”

Her tense eyelashes trembled slightly. Watching the vibration with interest, he continued.

“What do you want to do?”

Seo-hye lowered her eyes, which had become clouded.

“Are you going up?”

It was hard to refuse outright.

If she could get the painting even a day sooner, she wouldn’t be swayed by him anymore…

“Don’t change your mind.”

His low laughter tickled her ears.

He released her hand. Then he moved ahead.

Seo-hye exhaled a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding and followed him.

The two rode the elevator in silence to a higher floor.

Inside, it was eerily quiet.

Faced with a situation reminiscent of that day, a dull ache settled in her lower abdomen, and her thighs kept wanting to press together.

Oh, please. Don’t react.

She pleaded with herself, trying to relax her tense expression.

Ding— With a mechanical sound, the elevator doors opened.

They stopped in front of a room. It was the only room in the hallway.

Even though they hadn’t picked up a card from the front desk, Do-jin placed his hand on the fingerprint scanner and opened the door.

It seemed to be his second office, where he occasionally worked and stayed, aside from his house in Hannam-dong.

She carefully stepped inside.

Heading to the bedroom after a fresh-up gave her a strange feeling.

Because she wasn’t unaware that part of her instinct towards him was buried in the reason for getting the painting.

“!”

However, before she could even reach the sitting room, her body was suddenly spun around.

His arm, as solid as if not even a needle could pass through, encircled her waist and pulled her completely against him.

Below her pressed abdomen, his er*ect*on was so hard it was painful against her.

“Ha.”

A moan she didn’t want to utter escaped from her parted lips.

When she met his gaze, which was as hot as if it would burn her at a touch, an even greater heat spread rapidly through her body.

He simply looked at her in silence, as if it would be better to just hurry and do something.

Gazing into his eyes for so long made her feel as if they were in a romantic relationship.

She was the only one filling his eyes.

“…Uh, Do-jin, huh.”

At that moment, he bit and released her lower lip.

Then he pulled her closer, moving his lips from hers to near her ear. As his lips sensuously brushed her earlobe, her shoulders twisted sharply.

He held her waist with one hand and tightly grasped her struggling arm with the other, confining her as he provocatively teased her earlobe with his wet tongue. She convulsed as if losing her balance, yet clung tightly to his forearm to avoid falling.

“Hmm, ah… strange…”

The sensation was so peculiar that she couldn’t tell if he was caressing her ear or her lower body. It felt as if she might wet herself, her lower region kept tingling, making it hard to stand still, so she squeezed her thighs tightly as she stood. However, his flamboyant teasing gradually weakened her legs.

Though she wobbled, losing her balance, he didn’t stop biting her ear and gnawing on her earlobe until it hurt. At some point, his tongue, soft yet firm, slipped deeply into her ear.

“Haang.”

As if sinking into a quagmire, her vision went dark, and her knees finally buckled.

He lifted her up immediately and took a few more steps.

Then he sat her on the console located in the hallway leading to the sitting room. Her knees parted without resistance under his hands.

He naturally positioned himself in front of her thighs and began removing her coat.

As the tightly fastened collar of the coat loosened, her smooth neckline was revealed. His lips descended onto her pale skin.

“Hmm.”

He bit and kneaded the skin on her collarbone hard enough to leave a mark, while also undoing the b*ttons of her blouse.

Through the parted fabric, her full chest was exposed, contrasting with her slender frame. His breath carried a chaotic excitement.

He wrapped his arm around her waist, lifting her slightly off the console, and with the other hand, pulled her skirt up to her hips.

The moment her hips settled back on the console, her right thigh, caught in his large hand, was helplessly bent upwards.

A strange sensation surged as her lower abdomen and gr*in area tightened.

He looked into Seo-hye’s eyes once, then let his gaze slide down to the more provocatively exposed area below. Embarrassed, she quickly turned her head to the side to avoid his gaze.

At that moment, he leaned in a bit more, gently overlapping their lips. He nudged her tense lips apart, inserted his tongue, and touched and moistened her.

When excitement began to outweigh tension in her body, he released his hand from her waist and moved it to her more intimate area.

“Hmm.”

At her unfeigned nasal sound, he pulled back his lips and asked in a deeply subdued voice.

“Seems like you like it.”

“……”

She didn’t know how to respond, so she kept biting and releasing her innocent lips.

He chuckled softly and provoked her with stronger stimulation. As he rubbed more intensely near her cl*toris, Seo-hye hurriedly grabbed his wrist.

His piercing gaze questioned her.

“What?”

“Ah… stop… please…”

He seemed amused, watching her expression with interest, and continued his hand movements more flamboyantly. Seo-hye’s mouth gradually opened. Do-jin looked directly at her and pushed his hand entirely into the now-wet entrance.

“Ah…!”

The dazzling and large movements of his hand, which seemed to blame the untouched depths, were driving her insane. Wondering if she might lose consciousness like this, Seo-hye furrowed her delicate brows and desperately clung to his arm again.

“Ah! It hurts… a bit…!”

“It’s not pain, it’s pl*asure, isn’t it?”

She struggled to push him away as his hand movements became more intense, but the excitement she had to endure only grew larger.

“You’re shaking your hips on your own, quite lewd, aren’t you?”

Seo-hye squeezed her eyes shut as if she didn’t want to hear it. By removing sight from her senses, the stimulation she felt intensified.

“Huh.”

She tensed her pelvis so much that he couldn’t move his hand. Of course, it wasn’t a deliberate action, but Do-jin’s eyes were filled with a wild lust that seemed to have gone mad.

“This… stop…”

“What?”

“……”

“Moistening your private parts?”

“Ah…!”

Her body heated up as if she might get sick from the unbearable words. Seo-hye pleaded tearfully for him to stop.

However, he was firm.

“Stop pretending. Mine was inside before. We’re far from starting.”

“Ha, uh.”

It felt as if someone had grabbed her by the hair and dragged her across the sky, her whole body tingling.
