Side Story 6

“Haa, haah, ah, ahh…!”  

With every intense movement, water sloshed and spilled from the tub. Hyemi’s arms, gripping the tub’s edge, trembled. Damon held her upper body and turned her face toward him.

He kissed her immediately, their tongues mingling. As he moved his hips, he kneaded her heaving chest with abandon.  

“Mm, mmm, mm, ah!”  

Moans spilled out between their joined lips. The heat made her mind hazy.

“Da… haah, Damon, ah!”  

“Yeah, what is it?”  

Damon licked her ear and answered sweetly. Hyemi struggled to focus through her blurry vision and asked,  

“Why… ahh, why are there condoms… mm, in here?”  

“Of course I put them here in case we wanted to have s*x.”  

Damon gently bit her shoulder, leaving a red mark and grinning in satisfaction.

“Are you curious where else the condoms are?”  

“Huh, what?”  

“There are some in the bathroom, the closet, our bedroom, the living room table drawer, the kitchen, and even the study.”  

Hyemi was shocked inside. At this point, there were condoms all over the house.  

“Oh, and there are some in every room on the second floor, too.”  

Damon laughed lowly and thrust in deeply. Hyemi shuddered and gasped for breath. He slipped his fingers into her mouth, moving them as if he was making love to her. Wet sounds echoed, and Damon’s hips moved in time with them.

“Hnn!”  

“Ahh…”  

Damon thrust deep inside and cl*maxed at the same time. He slowly pulled out, and Hyemi collapsed, the bathwater now only half-full.

Damon tied off the condom and threw it away, then drained the tub and refilled it with fresh water for her. Sitting behind her, he hugged Hyemi as they watched the water flow.

“Tired?”  

“Of course.”  

Hyemi pouted and shot him a look. Damon kissed her shoulder affectionately, as if to comfort her.  

“Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.”  

“…Okay.”  

Honestly, it wasn’t unexpected. Hyemi soon relaxed, leaning against Damon’s chest.

“Give me a massage later, too.”  

“Alright.”  

Damon kissed her cheek and nodded. He knew he should help her relax after working her so hard. 

After a leisurely bath and lying on the plush bed while Damon massaged her, it felt like heaven.

“Haa…”  

Hyemi let out a satisfied sigh, melting into the bed.  

“Feels good?”  

“Yeah…”  

Damon’s massage skills were top-notch.

“Where did you learn to massage like this?”  

“I just picked it up.”  

“So you’re just naturally good at everything? You were good at everything else, and you’re good at this too.”  

Hyemi giggled. Damon just smiled and focused on relaxing her body.

“That’s enough. You have a shoot tomorrow, right? Go to sleep.”  

“Okay.”  

At her words, Damon quickly let go and lay down beside her. As she snuggled into his arms, she spoke up.

“Damon, can I really come to your shoot tomorrow?”  

“Of course. Why? Don’t want to go?”  

“No, it’s not that, but I’m not staff. What if they kick me out…?”  

“My manager will give you a temporary staff badge. You said you’d just watch, right?”  

“That’s true.”  

Hyemi nodded quietly. It was her first time visiting a shoot, and she was a little excited.

“It’s at a studio, right?”  

“Yeah.”  

It would be her first time seeing Damon at work since they’d met.

“I’ll just watch quietly, I promise.”  

“Alright. We have to get up early, so let’s sleep.”  

He hugged her and patted her back. Damon always slept shirtless, and that hadn’t changed here.

Burying her face in his broad chest, Hyemi giggled softly and soon fell asleep. Damon gazed at her for a moment, pressed a long kiss to her forehead, then closed his eyes.

The schedule was packed. Early in the morning, Hyemi barely had time to wash her face before Damon dragged her outside by the hand.

“Hello, Miss Hyemi. I’m Damon’s manager, Yoo Jeongho.”  

“Hello, Jeongho. Nice to meet you.”  

At Jeongho’s voice, Hyemi hastily pulled herself together, smiled brightly, and shook his hand. Damon cocked his head and stared at them, then almost snatched Hyemi’s hand away as soon as she let go, taking her to the car.

“Huh?”  

When she came to her senses, she was sitting right next to Damon. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder as if she might try to escape. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she squirmed, but he just held her tighter, so she gave up and leaned against him.

As the car started, Hyemi, who had woken up too early, began to doze off. Damon naturally lifted her and set her on his lap so she could rest more comfortably. She snuggled into his arms and soon fell asleep.

Watching in the rearview mirror, Jeongho shook his head, feeling a bit amazed. Until now, he’d honestly thought Damon was either gay or uninterested in women. Even women much prettier than Hyemi had tried to approach him, but he’d been cold as stone.

“Damon.”  

“What is it?”  

“So… you’re not a eunuch after all.”  

Damon’s eyebrow twitched up. Jeongho just grinned and focused on driving. After about thirty minutes, the car finally stopped in front of the studio. Damon gently shook Hyemi.

“Hyemi, we’re here.”  

“Mmm… When did I fall asleep?”  

“Not long.”  

Damon kissed her lips, and Hyemi smiled sleepily. Then she remembered Jeongho was in the car and quickly turned her head, but he had already gotten out. Hyemi sighed in relief and slipped off Damon’s lap.

“Damon, I wasn’t weird just now, was I? I’m okay, right?”  

“You’re fine. You’re beautiful.”  

It wasn’t a lie; to his eyes, Hyemi was truly beautiful. No one else could compare. Embarrassed, Hyemi cleared her throat and opened the door.

As she got out, she saw Jeongho approaching with something in his hand. Spotting Hyemi, he quickened his pace.

“Miss Hyemi, here’s your staff badge.”  

“Oh, thank you.”  

Hyemi bowed and quickly hung it around her neck. The STAFF badge dangling from her chest felt a little awkward.

“Shall we go?”  

“Oh, yes.”  

She swallowed nervously. Damon patted her shoulder a couple of times reassuringly, then wrapped his arm around her as they walked inside together. She’d expected to follow behind, so she was surprised when he went in with her.

As Damon entered, everyone in the studio stared. Soon, all eyes shifted to Hyemi.

“Who’s that? New staff?”  

“No, that’s Damon’s girlfriend. She’s been trending lately.”  

“Oh, right. I saw her on SNS.”  

People quickly recognized Hyemi and started whispering. Even someone as tough as her felt a lot of pressure under all those stares.

But the staff soon fell silent and got busy again under Damon’s icy gaze. Just then, a man with a large camera waved and approached.

“Damon, long time no see!”  

“Hello, Photographer Lee Jeho.”  

Damon bowed politely. This was Lee Jeho, the photographer in charge of this magazine shoot. Hyemi immediately smiled brightly and introduced herself.

“Hello, Sir! Nice to meet you. I’m Cha Hyemi!”  

At her cheerful voice, Jeho’s eyes widened, then he laughed and shook her hand.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Hyemi. I’m Lee Jeho.”  

“I just came to watch the shoot. I’ll just sit quietly, so please don’t mind me.”  

“Haha, alright.”  

Damon immediately went to change clothes, and Hyemi quietly stood in a corner. It was the perfect spot to see the shoot without being in anyone’s way.

Standing there, she waited for Damon to come out, sitting in a chair someone brought her. Soon, Damon emerged in his new outfit, and Hyemi’s eyes widened.

“Wow… He’s really handsome…”

A gasp escaped Hyemi’s lips reflexively. He was only wearing black dress pants and a thin white shirt with the buttons undone, but it looked absolutely stunning. She stared at him, lips slightly parted, and quickly closed her mouth as soon as her eyes met Damon’s.

She saw Damon smirk, and Hyemi averted her gaze, pretending to be distracted. But it only took a few seconds before she found herself staring at him again.

His exposed chest and abs between the open shirt were far too tempting. Last night, she had touched that chest and pressed herself against those abs while making love. She knew exactly how big the thing hidden beneath those pants was.

Now, for a different reason, she swallowed hard. Then, snapping back to her senses, she mentally hit herself with a hammer inside her imagination.  

‘Get it together, Cha Hyemi. What are you even imagining at a sacred workplace?’

She shook her head and opened her eyes wide. As the shoot began and time passed, Hyemi’s mind became filled with lewd thoughts.  

‘If he just pulled his pants down a little, it would be perfect for s*x… Isn’t there a waiting room here somewhere?’

She looked around for a waiting room, then snapped out of it again. But Damon’s expressions and gestures during the shoot were so s*xy that she couldn’t stand it. She wanted to touch that chest and those abs right now.

Her hands twitched, and her lower belly grew hot. Hyemi quickly crossed her legs, folded her arms, and furrowed her brows. If she didn’t, she felt like she might run to him at any moment.

Damon quickly noticed her state. He smirked to himself and glanced at the clock. Break time was coming up soon, and he figured they could sneak into the waiting room, pretend to nap, have s*x, and then touch up their makeup.
