#24.

Park Min-ah couldn’t fall asleep. She was so ashamed and tormented by the disgraceful behavior she had shown in front of Lee-han yesterday. She tossed and turned all night, wondering if he had come to hate her, if she had been too rash.

Even after going to work, Park Min-ah’s mind was filled with thoughts of yesterday. She couldn’t concentrate during meetings or while writing documents. Eventually, she even got scolded by her senior. Park Min-ah’s face burned with embarrassment.

,I should go home quickly today. I have no face to face the Director…’

After work, Park Min-ah glanced around, heading towards her apartment building. But she ran into Lee-han at the complex entrance.

,Uh…hello, Director…’

,Min-ah-ssi, do you have some time? I’d like to talk to you in the office…’

Park Min-ah couldn’t refuse Lee-han’s words. She tried to calm her pounding heart and followed him to the management office.

Upon entering the office, Lee-han suggested that Park Min-ah sit on the sofa. His affectionate tone made yesterday’s events feel like a dream.

,Don’t worry about what happened yesterday. Anyone could do that.’

Even as he said that, Lee-han’s eyes seemed to pierce through Park Min-ah. Park Min-ah shrank back even more. An awkward silence flowed between the two people sitting side by side on the sofa.

Lee-han spoke first. Starting with trivial greetings, the two were soon engaged in comfortable conversation. Then, Lee-han’s hand naturally began to tap Park Min-ah’s knee.

,Is this right…?’

Doubt arose, but Park Min-ah couldn’t refuse. She was afraid that if she rejected Lee-han’s physical advances, he would dislike her or treat her coldly. She shuddered, recalling his cold gaze before yesterday’s skinship.

Lee-han’s touch grew bolder. He stroked Park Min-ah’s thigh and caressed her chest. The moment she looked up and met his gaze, Park Min-ah realized that she was already aroused with excitement.

,Director…’

Unable to continue speaking, Park Min-ah surrendered herself to Lee-han’s caresses. As she reached her climax on the narrow sofa, her fluids soaked the leather seat. Even in this moment, which should have been filled with the afterglow of love in the brightly lit office, a corner of Park Min-ah’s heart felt bitter.

,Am I doing something wrong…?’

But Lee-han smiled kindly and stroked Park Min-ah’s hair, as if praising a well-behaved child.

,You did really well, Min-ah-ssi.’

Embracing the confused Park Min-ah, Lee-han said,

,Well, why don’t you go in now? I’ll clean up, so I’ll walk you home.’

Park Min-ah felt relieved by Lee-han’s attitude, but on the other hand, she was even more confused. As if possessed by something, she nodded at his words.

—

Two days passed, then three… Before she knew it, Park Min-ah was visiting the management office every evening. It was as if having skinship with Lee-han had become a daily routine. His instructions, which she had initially feared, were now accepted as a matter of course.

However, if Park Min-ah showed even the slightest sign of dislike, Lee-han would immediately stop the act. Then, he would say in a cold voice,

,Shall we stop?’

That cold atmosphere and aloof attitude were fear itself to Park Min-ah. She was crushed by the fear that if she didn’t please Lee-han, she would be abandoned. So Park Min-ah had no choice but to obediently follow all of Lee-han’s instructions.

After the act, Lee-han always praised Park Min-ah with a gentle smile.

,You did really well. You’re a special woman.’

Park Min-ah was increasingly drawn to his warm tone and affectionate gaze. Little by little, guilt and shame disappeared, and she even felt happy to be recognized by Lee-han. It was as if Lee-han was her everything.

One night, Lee-han brought a small device. Park Min-ah had heard about the device from her friends, but it was the first time she had actually seen one. Her face flushed with embarrassment. ,Do I really have to do this?’ Hesitantly, Park Min-ah said to Lee-han.

,Um…Director, I don’t think I can do this…’

Then Lee-han’s face hardened coldly. Without a word, he picked up the device and spat out in a cold voice,

,Is that so? Then go home for today.’

Park Min-ah’s heart ached at his cold tone. She didn’t want to leave his side right away. She apologized desperately.

,No, I was wrong. I can do it…please…’

Lee-han’s expression softened at Park Min-ah’s plea. He smiled kindly again and praised her.

,As expected, Min-ah-ssi is a special woman. Now, relax…’

Lee-han pressed his lips to Park Min-ah’s neck and gradually unbuttoned her blouse one by one. Soon, her bra was also removed, revealing Park Min-ah’s firm breasts. Lee-han stimulated her nipples by licking and nibbling them, while simultaneously rubbing her protruding clitoris with his fingers.

,Ah…Director…’

Park Min-ah moaned as Lee-han relentlessly targeted her sensitive areas. Lee-han, confirming her fluids on his fingertips, carefully placed the vibrator there.

,Eung…!’

Park Min-ah’s lower body twitched even at the low vibration. Lee-han slowly moved the vibrator from her clitoris to her wet vulva, stimulating her. Clear liquid flowed between Park Min-ah’s legs.

As the vibrator’s speed gradually increased, Park Min-ah moaned loudly. Sometimes she twisted her waist in embarrassment, but soon she was captivated by the intense pleasure and repeatedly reached her climax. Her vaginal walls contracted convulsively. In the afterglow of an orgasm so strong that her mind went blank, Park Min-ah lay limp, gasping for breath.

That day too, Lee-han carried the exhausted Park Min-ah home. In front of her front door, she mumbled,

,I’m sorry, Director…today I…’

,Shh, it’s okay. You did really well. I’m proud of Min-ah-ssi.’

Watching Lee-han’s retreating figure disappear beyond the door, Park Min-ah thought. She knew in her head that she was becoming strange. But in her heart, everything seemed okay when she heard his praise. As if Lee-han was her savior.

—

Park Min-ah’s body gradually became accustomed to Lee-han’s vibrator-assisted caresses. The sensations that had initially been unfamiliar and embarrassing now came to her as deep pleasure. The moments that had initially been awkward and shameful were already fading away.

Then one day, Lee-han suddenly stopped caressing Park Min-ah when she reached her peak, and then tried again when she was about to subside, as if blocking Park Min-ah’s climax. Park Min-ah felt like she was going crazy from the pleasure that had stopped just before her climax. Every cell in her body craved more intense stimulation.

,Director…please…’

,Shh, calm down.’

Lee-han soothed the excited Park Min-ah and whispered in her ear.

,Min-ah-ssi, shall we go out for a bit?’

Park Min-ah was taken aback by the sudden suggestion. What is he saying? Did I mishear him? Her mind was in a jumble. But Lee-han, without hesitation, started to dress her in her outerwear, leaving her wet underwear as it was.

Before she could even grasp the situation, Park Min-ah was walking through the apartment complex, led by Lee-han’s hand. She was overwhelmed with anxiety by the strange sensation she felt every time she walked without underwear.

,Um, Director…this is…’

Park Min-ah muttered in a trembling voice.

,It’s okay, no one will know.’

Lee-han said firmly, meeting her eyes.

In her head, she was shouting that this didn’t make sense, but Park Min-ah couldn’t bring herself to refuse Lee-han’s words. She felt a damp sensation in her lower body, where she wasn’t wearing panties, and it felt like un-dried fluids were running down her thighs.

Moreover, her body, which had been stopped just before climax, was so sensitive that even the feel of the clothes brushing against her skin was stimulating. Her whole body was trembling, and her legs were shaking.

After walking for a while, Park Min-ah suddenly realized that she was near the convenience store she often went to. She was afraid that someone would recognize her. But Lee-han, as if nothing was wrong, took her hand and quickened his pace.

Lee-han instructed Park Min-ah to go to the convenience store and buy something to eat. Park Min-ah was taken aback. How could she go in front of people in this state?

,Um, Director…this is a bit…’

She barely opened her mouth to express her refusal.

Then Lee-han’s eyes turned coldly.

,Min-ah-ssi, are you disappointing me?’

Park Min-ah felt like she was suffocating at Lee-han’s cold voice. Just facing his disappointed gaze made her heart ache.

,No, I can’t let the Director see me like that…’

Her mind became complicated. Going to the convenience store in this embarrassing state was out of the question. What if someone recognized her? Just imagining it made her feel suffocated.

But on the other hand, she couldn’t refuse Lee-han’s request. If she turned down even this opportunity that he had offered, it felt like her relationship with Lee-han would be jeopardized. She was afraid of all of this. Shame, humiliation, and subservience to Lee-han were intertwined.

In the end, Park Min-ah lowered her head. Biting her lip, she barely managed to answer.

,O-okay…I’ll try…’

Park Min-ah’s steps were slow. With each step she took, a strange sensation was transmitted from her underwear-less lower body. A sob welled up whenever her damp thighs rubbed together.

,What am I doing…how can I be like this…’

Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were damp with cold sweat and fluids. Park Min-ah’s appearance itself was blatantly showing what had just happened.

,Please, at least don’t let it smell…’

She desperately hoped, but a strong body odor that brushed her nose was telling her what had just happened. It was so intense that she herself was surprised.

The moment she opened the convenience store door, cold air licked her hot skin. Park Min-ah groaned softly at the contrasting sensations that were so stark they gave her goosebumps. Sensations that she would normally have passed by without a second thought felt very vivid.

While pretending to choose items, she looked around. Fortunately, it was late, so there weren’t many customers. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she made eye contact with the part-time worker behind the counter.

,I thought it was a relief that it was a woman, but…’

The part-time worker’s gaze swept over Park Min-ah. It was a suspicious look. Did she notice? Fear surged through her, making her want to scream.

With trembling hands, she handed over her card. She wanted to get out of this place as quickly as possible. The part-time worker silently accepted the card and made the payment, but her eyes, as she looked at Park Min-ah, were full of questions.

She barely managed to get out of the convenience store, but there was no time to feel relieved. The heavy reality weighed down on Park Min-ah’s shoulders. She longed for the ordinary life she had before meeting Lee-han.

,Why the hell am I doing this…’

Tears streamed down her face in despair. She collapsed on the street and burst into tears. Then Lee-han came and hugged her tightly.

,You did really well, Min-ah-ssi. You’re amazing.’

As she listened to the praise, Park Min-ah felt a little comforted, and she felt a warmth in a corner of her heart.

,I want to be recognized, by the Director…’

Even amidst the shame that enveloped her whole body, that feeling was unwavering. She wanted to be a necessary presence for Lee-han.

The thought that meeting Lee-han’s expectations was more important than anything else began to take deep root in her heart. No matter what it was.

Park Min-ah didn’t realize that her own standards of good and evil were becoming blurred. She felt like she could do anything to please Lee-han.
