#101.

Every time Lee Han’s touch reached Kang Jiwon, her body heated up. Each time Lee Han’s fingers moved along her skin, Kang Jiwon’s breathing quickened, and something stirred within her.

,Ah…’ A small moan escaped from her lips.

But at the moment of climax, Lee Han always stopped, as if mocking her. Kang Jiwon’s body only trembled, halted just before the peak. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of desire and despair.

Returning home, Kang Jiwon took off her clothes with trembling hands. Looking at herself in the mirror, she bit her lip. Her skin was flushed red, her nipples were erect, and her wetness was flowing down from her private area. Everything proved her desire.

,Minah-ssi…’ Her voice trembled.

Lying on the bed, Kang Jiwon’s fingers slowly moved downward. With her eyes closed, she tried to recall Park Minah’s face, but Lee Han’s image kept intruding. Each time her fingers caressed her private area, a small electric shock ran through her entire body.

,Haa… haa…’

Kang Jiwon’s breathing grew increasingly rough. Her waist began to move rhythmically. But no matter how hard she tried, the climax would not come. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her lips trembled.

,Why… why won’t it…’

Frustration brought tears to her eyes. The movement of her fingers became more frantic, but satisfaction still eluded her, mocking her from afar. Kang Jiwon’s body burned with desire, but her heart remained as cold as ice.

Thus, Kang Jiwon’s night was a continuous cycle of endless longing and frustration. Her body was increasingly responding to Lee Han, but true satisfaction always evaded her. And after her encounters with Lee Han, she writhed in guilt over her actions, thinking of Park Minah.

—

The red sunset was painting the apartment complex. Kang Jiwon walked home with heavy steps. Her shoulders were slumped, and her eyes were empty. Just then, the phone in her pocket rang.

Kang Jiwon’s heart sank at the sight of Park Minah’s name on the screen. Hesitating for a moment, she answered the phone with trembling hands.

,Hello, Minah-ssi.’

,Jiwon-ssi! Did you get off work? Do you have time for dinner tonight? I thought it would be nice to have a beer together.’

Park Minah’s bright and cheerful voice came through the receiver. A flash of joy crossed Kang Jiwon’s eyes, but she soon remembered her contract with Lee Han. Her expression quickly darkened.

,Ah… tonight?’ Kang Jiwon’s voice trembled. ,I’m sorry, Minah-ssi. I have a prior engagement today…’

Disappointment was evident in Park Minah’s voice. ,Oh, really? That’s too bad… Are you busy?’

Kang Jiwon’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. The fact that she had to lie choked her up.

,Yes… I’ve been a bit busy lately.’ She tried to sound cheerful. ,Let’s definitely meet up next time. I’ll give you a call.’

,Okay, I understand. Definitely next time?’ Park Minah’s voice had a smile in it.

,Yes, definitely.’ Kang Jiwon bit her lip. ,Just a little more… there’s not much left…’ She repeated to herself in her mind.

After hanging up, Kang Jiwon stood there rooted to the spot. Hot tears streamed down her face. Among the people passing by, she stood alone.

,Minah-ssi… I’m sorry…’ Her whisper scattered in the evening breeze.

Kang Jiwon slowly moved her feet. Her steps became heavier, and her shoulders drooped deeply. Looking at the receding sun, she bit her lip. Thoughts of the times she had spent with Park Minah, and the times they could spend together in the future, tormented her.

—

Under the dim light of the management office, Kang Jiwon was entangled with Lee Han. Her fingernails dug into Lee Han’s back, and her breathing grew increasingly rough.

,Please…’ Kang Jiwon’s voice trembled.

Lee Han’s movements became more intense. Kang Jiwon’s entire body stiffened with tension. Her toes curled, and her back arched greatly. But at the moment of climax, her consciousness remained clear.

,More… a little more…’ Kang Jiwon’s voice cracked.

Lee Han pulled away from her. Kang Jiwon looked at the ceiling, trying to catch her breath. Her chest rose and fell sharply, but satisfaction was nowhere to be found.

,Good job,’ Lee Han whispered with a smile.

Instead of answering, Kang Jiwon turned her head away. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her hands were heavy and clumsy as she picked up her clothes.

On the way home, Kang Jiwon’s body was still burning. As soon as she opened the front door, she headed for the bed. Taking off her clothes with trembling hands, she looked at herself in the mirror.

,Is this really me…’ Her voice trembled.

Lying on the bed, Kang Jiwon’s hand moved downward. With her eyes closed, she recalled Park Minah’s face.

,Minah-ssi… I’m sorry…’ Her whisper scattered into the darkness.

Her fingers stimulated her private area. Her waist lifted and fell repeatedly. Her breathing grew increasingly rough, but satisfaction still did not come.

,Please… please…’ Kang Jiwon’s desperate whisper filled the room.

Her movements became more frantic. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and she bit her lip until it felt like it would bleed. But the climax still eluded her, mocking her from afar.

Eventually, Kang Jiwon stopped her hand, exhausted. Hot tears streamed down her face. She remembered the moment she had turned down her date with Park Minah.

,If I just hold on a little longer…’

Her sobs filled the silent room. Kang Jiwon pulled the blanket over herself. In her burning body, unfulfilled desire, and endless guilt, she had to spend another long night.

—

Kim Eunju’s steps headed towards the management office. As she opened the door, the sticky smell of sweat and body odor stimulated her nose. At that moment, her heart began to beat rapidly.

Kim Eunju’s gaze stopped on Han Sujin, who was sitting on the sofa inside the office. Her maternity dress was soaked with sweat, and Han Sujin’s face was flushed red. Her expression showed a sense of languor and satisfaction.

,How are you feeling?’ Kim Eunju said in a low voice.

Han Sujin slowly raised her head and looked at Kim Eunju.

,Ah, Eunju-ssi…’ Han Sujin’s voice echoed softly.

Kim Eunju quietly sat across from Han Sujin. At that moment, Han Sujin got up and stretched. As she moved, her maternity dress was pulled taut, making her round belly even more prominent.

,Lee Han-ssi is…’ Kim Eunju started to say, but didn’t bother to finish.

A small smile spread across Han Sujin’s lips. ,He was here until just a moment ago.’

The two women’s eyes met. In that brief moment of silently looking at each other, something seemed to flow in the air. The corners of Kim Eunju’s lips turned up slightly, and Han Sujin’s eyes deepened slightly. No one said it out loud, but they both knew they were thinking the same thing.

,Isn’t a pregnant woman coming here too often?’ Kim Eunju’s voice was slightly sharp. Her eyes swept over Han Sujin’s sweat-soaked clothes.

Han Sujin replied with a smile. ,Ah, I get stuffy if I just stay home. Coming here cheers me up…’ Her words had a meaningful nuance.

Kim Eunju’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. ,Really? Is exercise that good?’

,Yes, it’s very good. Especially when Lee Han-ssi helps…’ Han Sujin trailed off.

A tense atmosphere hung between the two women. While understanding each other’s situation, a subtle sense of competition was felt.

After a while, Han Sujin sighed. ,I understand. I’m a bit tired these days, so I’ll concede.’

Kim Eunju’s expression softened slightly at her words. The two women looked at each other and smiled slightly. Complex emotions were intertwined in that smile.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside. The two women’s gazes turned to the door at the same time. Lee Han was returning. Kim Eunju and Han Sujin’s eyes met once again. Their expressions were mixed with anticipation and anxiety.

The management office door opened and Lee Han entered. Jinwoo was holding tightly to his hand. Kim Eunju’s eyes sparkled for a moment, then changed to a look of surprise.

,Mom!’ Jinwoo ran to Kim Eunju and hugged her.

Kim Eunju smiled as she held her son in her arms, but a subtle disappointment flashed in her eyes. She tried to sound cheerful.

,Did our Jinwoo have fun at daycare?’

Jinwoo began to chatter. ,Yeah! I made a big castle with blocks today. And Lee Han uncle came to pick me up!’

Han Sujin turned her head towards Lee Han. Her eyes were sharp. ,Isn’t that a bit much?’ she whispered in a low voice.

Lee Han shrugged. ,I just don’t want to neglect family and children.’

Kim Eunju and Han Sujin’s eyes met. They both had dumbfounded expressions, but Lee Han didn’t seem to care.

Han Sujin got up from her seat. A playful smile spread across her lips. ,I’ll head out first. Thank you for today.’

Her voice contained a subtle joy instead of dissatisfaction. Han Sujin winked at Lee Han and said,

,I’ll look forward to the next time.’

Lee Han responded to her words with a smile. A strange current flowed between the two.

Kim Eunju watched this interaction between the two and frowned slightly. Complex emotions flashed across her face.

Han Sujin waved her hand lightly and walked towards the door. ,Then see you next time.’ Her steps were light, and a sense of relaxation seemed to emanate from her shoulders.

Kim Eunju also got up, holding Jinwoo’s hand. ,We’ll be going too.’

Jinwoo ran towards the door. Lee Han followed him and said, ,Go carefully, Jinwoo.’

Kim Eunju glanced at Lee Han. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions. Disappointment, dissatisfaction, and a faint excitement were mixed together.

As Kim Eunju walked towards the door holding Jinwoo’s hand, Lee Han followed them as if to see them off. His steps were soft and quiet. As he passed by Kim Eunju, Lee Han’s hand moved secretly.

His fingers slowly slid along Kim Eunju’s waist. The touch was light and quick, but it was enough to send shivers down Kim Eunju’s entire body. The moment Lee Han’s hand brushed against her butt and squeezed it slightly, Kim Eunju’s eyes widened.

,Ah…’ A small gasp escaped from her lips.

Kim Eunju froze for a moment. Her breathing quickened, and her cheeks flushed red. She turned her head in surprise and looked at Lee Han. His eyes were full of playful desire.

As the initial surprise faded, Kim Eunju’s eyes slowly changed. Her pupils dilated slightly, and her lips parted slightly. Her expression was now filled with anticipation and desire instead of surprise.

The two women’s eyes met. In that brief moment of silently looking at each other, electricity seemed to flow in the air.

The corners of Kim Eunju’s lips turned up slightly. Lee Han also responded with a smile. They quickly looked around, and after confirming that no one was watching, they moved closer to each other.

In an instant, the two women’s lips met. It was a short but intense kiss.

,See you tomorrow,’ Lee Han whispered in a low voice.

Kim Eunju nodded and opened the door. A satisfied smile spread across her face. Her steps towards home seemed lighter than ever.
