No, he’s right. It’s a song famous for being used in musicals. It’s just a coincidence.

Soon the sweat started to run down Soo-min’s back.

“It seems hot, so I’ll turn up the air conditioning a bit more.”

A strong blast of cold air from the air conditioner poured down from above. The cold wind made Soo-min’s hands feel like they were turning to ice. Her wrist tingled slightly.

She gently massaged it with her other hand. When she turned to look out of the window, the mysterious looks continued to come her way.

“You’re soaked. You’re tempting.”

Even without speaking, he was looking right through her through the car window. Soo-min fought to keep her composure.

***

The soft grass spread out like a carpet between the manicured trees created a resort-like atmosphere.

Everyone paired up and started the game with their respective partners. There were ten teams invited that day.

Each person took turns playing golf with their partner. While everyone was skilled, Soo-min, with limited experience, occasionally hit the ball in the wrong direction.

As Soo-min’s strokes increased due to her mistakes, Yuhyeon reduced his strokes. Each time this happened, cheers erupted.

“Ohh!”

“You reduced your strokes again.”

Thwack, thwack.

Yuhyeon hit the ball one after the other. Each of his swings was so smooth and stylish that even professional golfers would be in awe.

“CEO Beom! You must be good at golf. Hahaha.”

“I still have a long way to go to match the Chairman’s skill.”

“This guy, he’s practically a Korean now. He knows how to humble himself.”

“All right, next up is Chairman Go’s nephew.”

When Soo-min looked back, it was Eunhyuk’s turn. He swung the racket hard and the ball rolled away. He played much better than Soo-min. He hadn’t realised how much his skills had improved after playing in a golf tournament with his friends. 

He had said that this time he would make his mark in the social scene, and now he was chatting non-stop with people he used to have trouble talking to. 

Soo-min stayed quiet, listening without interrupting the conversation between the others. 

Jinseong approached her.

“Han Soo-min, you are the perfect partner for Mr Beom Yuhyeon today.”

“Is it true that you recommended me to be his partner?”

“You’re the only one alone, right? Even without me, Mr Beom Yuhyeon would have ended up with you.”

“Eunhyuk pays more attention to me now, doesn’t he?”

It was really frustrating to see Jinseong acting like they were close. What bothered her even more was how he kept trying to connect her with Yuhyeon – it was annoying.

“Eunhyuk doesn’t seem to be interested in you. Just look at him. He seems to be good at talking now, doesn’t he? When did he get so close to the Y Electronics representative? He used to be so shy and couldn’t even say a word.”
“Why do you think Eunhyuk became like that? Have you thought about it?”
“No. Why should I think about it?”

She couldn’t believe it and let out a hollow laugh.

Wasn’t this the man who, every year during the holidays, would visit his maternal grandmother’s house but never even ate with them? He didn’t even call her mother “aunt” and openly treated her like the child of a mistress.

Just thinking about it made her shiver.

“Ha… Forget it. If I say anything, it’ll just turn into a fight. Move aside.”

“You’re so cold… I’m your cousin, you know.”

“Only when it’s convenient for you.”

“No matter how much you pretend to look after us, you’re still part of the Jaewon group.”

“Thank you. When we needed it, you despised the fact that we were relatives, but now that we’re close to Beom Yuhyeon, you finally accept us as family.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Jinseong laughed so hard that his mouth almost split open.

“You’re happy too, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I’m so happy that I cry and pinch my own hand several times a day. It feels like my mum is finally being recognised by her side of the family.”

“Well, that’s an even better opportunity. If you can get that big shot to come over to our side.”

“What… I can’t even speak…”

Soo-min’s teeth clenched in anger.

“Don’t joke around. All of this will benefit you. Vladimir’s funds move in trillions, not billions. The person controlling that fund is Beom Yuhyeon. He’s more powerful than you think. So, if he’s interested in you, it would be best to date him.”
Even without Jinseong saying it, Soo-min had seen with her own eyes and heard with her own ears just how remarkable Beom Yuhyeon was.

How else could it be that rumors claimed the economy of any country he visited revolved around him? The people who came to see him every day were all high-profile figures, the kind she had only ever seen in the media.

“Do you think a great man like him would dream of a future with me? Maybe I’d only be his girlfriend for a short time and he’d quickly lose interest”.

Soo-min wanted to crush Jinseong’s unrealistic dreams.

“Maybe just as a friend, if you both share the same values, who knows? You never really know what the future holds.”

“No, even if I were to be reborn, I would never marry that man.”

“Why?”

“Just because.”

Soo-min didn’t want to imagine a future with a man like Junhwan, even if it was only a chance in a million. 

Although she had married and left Junhwan, she had chosen to live the rest of her life with a deep sense of remorse towards him. 

She wanted to atone for the love that had been reduced to blackened ashes. A wave of emotion swept over her. When she thought of Junhwan, her heart ached deeply, as if something sharp was piercing it from within.

Soo-min directed her gaze towards Yuhyeon, who was executing a perfect swing. Beom Yuhyeon, resembling Junhwan, was the man who continued to unsettle her.

‘Why, of all people, does someone who resembles him have to appear in front of me…?’

Every time she looked at him, guilt washed over her, but she didn’t blame the heavens.

‘If my suffering can bring even a fraction of peace to your heart, Junhwan, then I’ll endure even greater pain every time I see that man.’

Soo-min looked up at the sky. It was as if the sky had heard her thoughts, and suddenly dark clouds gathered in the previously clear sky.

About 10 minutes later, a heavy downpour began. The torrential downpour came down like a deluge and people quickly ran for shelter under trees and umbrellas. Soo-min ran in the same direction, but the umbrellas had already been taken. 

She looked around and saw someone running towards a tree. Just as she was about to follow, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

She was startled.
“Run, if you don’t want to get wet.”

“Wait a minute…”

“We’ll find a way to avoid it.”

“Ah…”

Eunhyuk and the other person were separated in the hallways. As they ran through the dense trees, they lost sight of each other. They were running so fast that they were almost out of breath. 

Panting, she finally caught her breath outside a warehouse, but her clothes were already soaked from the rain. 

Looking down at her chest, Soo-min quickly covered it. But her pink underwear was visible through the white t-shirt, and the curves of her body were outlined.

“The weather seems to be bad today. It doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon… Ah… what are you planning…?”

Soo-min found herself pinned between the wall and Yuhyeon’s arm. His gaze trembled slightly and her heart raced as his lips slowly approached hers.

“It’s the perfect atmosphere for a kiss.”

“Hey, Yuhyeon. This place is open on all sides…”

Soo-min looked around.

“Then let’s go somewhere where no one can see us.”

“…!”

He slammed the warehouse door.

“There is no door that only authorized people can open.”

“Ah…”

The door closed with a bang.

A fiery intensity flared in his eyes.

Soo-min closed her eyes tightly. Then his lips touched her neck softly. The brief kiss caused her limbs to tremble intermittently. Soo-min felt her body stiffen and tried her best to regain her composure.

But when he sucked his lips forcefully on her neck, her shoulders tensed.

“Ah… don’t bite.”

“Your neck looks so tempting, it seems delicious.”

“Ugh…”

He nibbled at her neck, his lips lingering as he sucked gently. Then he cupped Soo-min’s br*ast, his lips moving with urgency. His warm tongue traced her skin, pausing between her collarbones. A small gasp escaped her lips.

He lifted her shirt over her head, revealing her curves as her br*asts slipped from the confines of her bra. His tongue flicked across the sensitive n*pples. Soo-min’s body shook, her back arching instinctively as she clung to his shoulders.

“You stand so pretty.”

“Ugh… Ahhh…”

A strange sensation spread through her entire body. Yuhyeon felt Soo-min’s lips with his fingers and sucked on her n*pple.

‘I feel like it’s going to fall off… my n*pples… ugh… but the feeling is….’

He sucked hard, as if searching for milk in her n*pples. Her body was pushed back. His lower body was pressed against her wide open legs.

As the golf clothing was a skirt, it wasn’t hard to find her panties and she was shocked when something hard touched the pressed area.

‘Ah, it’s too… big.’

Yuhyeon’s p*nis rubbed against her v*gina. It was dizzying, she thought she would go crazy as the big p*nis rubbed up and down.

This kind of stimulation, this kind of temptation, this kind of touch was too overwhelming. I couldn’t take it. As he repeatedly stroked my sensitive cl*toris, I ached to have him inside me right away. My body, unwilling to be satisfied with mere f*replay, mocked my vow to atone for my sins to Jun-hwan for the rest of my life.

‘I hate this body.’

Soo-min was consumed by self-loathing.

The deeper the pleasure he gave her, the more ashamed she felt of the dark desires hidden within her.

“You like it, don’t you? Just enjoy it.”

He grasped Soo-min’s chin.

“Stop it. The f*replay….”

“Then should I just thrust in?”

“No.”

Absolutely not. That was the one thing she couldn’t allow. No matter how unbearable it was, she couldn’t have s*x with him.

Soo-min shook her head frantically from side to side.

“I have quite a bit of patience. And we have all the time in the world.”

“Mmmph—”

Without warning, he pressed his lips hard against hers. He forced her jaw open and pushed his tongue in, swirling it aggressively. Their heated flesh intertwined.

As their saliva mixed, Yuhyeon’s *rection grew harder. He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her as if to consume her breath.

“Chuup— chuup.”

The thick, lewd sound of their wet kisses only intensified the desperate longing. It felt like electricity coursing through her entire body, sending waves of pleasure from head to toe.

Without hesitation, he licked along her upper gums, the roof of her mouth and even under her tongue. His tongue moved with unbridled passion as he kissed her deeply.

Their tongues, wet and slick, intertwined as their lower bodies ground against each other, shamelessly exposed to their growing desire. His hardened p*nis pressed repeatedly against her core, even with the thin fabric still between them.
