Episode 41 – Workplace Manager Authority

The day of the trip with Hyeri. Hyunmin couldn’t calm his fluttering heart, as if he had returned to his school days going on a field trip. Kim Hyeri was close to his ideal type, but it was hard to calm down his excited heart to the point where he couldn’t understand himself.

,Is this love…?

,Pfft!

Just thinking about it makes him cringe. Hyunmin had a wealthy family environment and decent looks. Thanks to that, he had met many women more easily than others. He’s not the type to get excited about a mere one-night, two-day trip.

,Okay. Let’s maintain my pace. It’s beneath my dignity to be led around by a mere twenty-year-old.

Until now, he had been humble and accommodating to Hyeri, but he couldn’t be led around any longer. Hyunmin departs for Busan, his destination, determined to take the lead in the relationship with this Busan trip as an opportunity. Like the clear weather without a single cloud, this trip feels like it has good energy.

,It’s here. It’s here~

Hyeri seems excited, waving her hand happily when she sees Hyunmin’s car. She was wearing short hot pants and wedge heels, and an off-shoulder blouse that revealed her shoulders. Perhaps because of her exposed shoulder line, she was capturing the attention of the men around her without being overly revealing.

,She’s totally in the vacation mood.

She said she wanted to go to the beach first, and now she’s dressed in clothes perfectly optimized for a vacation.

,I left a little early too, but you arrived even faster?

,Hehe… I came early to see Haeundae beach first. The weather is so nice today too, Jui-nim.

,I’m glad the weather is good. Shall we unpack our luggage at the hotel first?

,Yes, that’s great.

Hyunmin knew the destination, but the hotel was much more luxurious than he had imagined. He heard it was the best hotel in Haeundae, and there was a good reason for it.

,Wow, this is so nice.

,Right? Especially the ocean view here is amazing. You can’t easily book an ocean view room, you know?

After checking in and entering the room, a fantastic ocean view unfolds through the large window, as if the sea had been moved there. The view was so fantastic that he could understand why Hyunmin had boasted so much.

,Wow…

Hyeri stared blankly at the scenery for a while. At first sight, she falls in love with this fantastic suite.

,Choi Jui-nim, isn’t this place too expensive? I’m sorry, it seems like you’ve overdone it…

Perhaps because the accommodation is better than she expected, Hyeri apologizes to Hyunmin with a sorry expression.

,I can afford this much, so don’t worry. Hahaha.

It was quite a big expense for Hyunmin too, but seeing Hyeri’s satisfied expression, he was satisfied that it was worth the money. He thought that there was nothing like a hotel with a good atmosphere to capture a woman’s heart.

,Alright, we’ve come all the way to Haeundae, so shall we go see the sea in earnest?

Hyunmin, who had gained confidence after seeing Hyeri like the accommodation, naturally puts his hand on her shoulder. Because she was wearing an off-shoulder blouse, her soft yet firm skin is felt directly on the palm of his hand. She was startled, but Hyeri doesn’t reject his touch.

,Okay. Let’s go quickly.

– Swaaa

Waves crash against the sandy beach, constantly creating sparkling ripples. It wasn’t peak season yet, so there weren’t many people enjoying swimming. Still, there were quite a few couples on the beach taking pictures and having a good time with the sea as a backdrop.

,How is it? You said you wanted to come.

Hyunmin and Hyeri walk side by side on the sandy beach like other couples.

,It feels like my heart is opening up. I’m so happy, hehe.

Hyeri couldn’t hide her excitement, running around like a child.

,What are you doing? Choi Jui-nim, let’s take pictures too.

,Haha, shall we?

Hyeri takes a selfie with her phone. Hyeri and Hyunmin take pictures closely together with the sea as a backdrop. Not missing the opportunity, Hyunmin naturally takes Hyeri’s hand.

,Ah…

– Click click

Perhaps embarrassed by his skinship, her face flushes slightly, but Hyeri doesn’t reject his touch and takes a selfie. The two people smiling with the sea as a backdrop. A pleasant scene like any other couple is captured in the camera.

,Hehe, as expected, people become quite open-minded in travel destinations.

When Hyeri doesn’t reject his skinship, Hyunmin’s hand naturally wraps around her waist. Her slender waist is felt directly through her blouse.

,Keu…her waist is so slender.

,Aing…I’m embarrassed… Choi Jui-niim…

,Why? Do you not like this?

,It’s not that… Choi Jui-nim, I… I’ll be right back, I’m just going to the restroom.

,Huh? Okay… go ahead.

,Tch…

,Shit, the atmosphere was good.

Hyunmin, who was trying to make progress all the way to a kiss, clicks his tongue in disappointment.

,It’s not going to be easy, huh?

Hyunmin, who boasts a fairly colorful history with women, knows from experience that Hyeri’s behavior is push and pull. She has feelings, but she’s doing the obvious action of pushing back once or twice because she’s afraid of being seen as an easy woman. It’s not like Hyunmin doesn’t know that much.

,Pfft, she suggested going on a trip first and now she’s pushing back.

Still, he doesn’t dislike Hyeri’s push and pull. He likes the sense of conquest and accomplishment when he gets a sly fox-like bitch like Hyeri, who pushes back slightly, rather than a bear-like woman.

,And I have plenty of time.

They have to be together until tomorrow, so there will be many better opportunities than this. Rather than forcing it, let’s go slowly and steadily.

Hyunmin smiled sinisterly as he watched Hyeri’s back.

* * *

,What? You said you didn’t like it, but you looked like a fresh couple to anyone who saw you?

,Nooo… I’ll be sad if you say that, Deputy Lee-nim.

,What, then is it acting? Hyeri-ya, let’s change your career path now, you could be an actress. Kim Hyeri-yang.

,Phee… Deputy Lee-nim told me to do it first, so why are you teasing me?

Hyunwoo, who arrived in Busan with Hyeri in his car, was following Choi Hyunmin and Kim Hyeri from afar. From the beginning, the Busan trip was Hyunwoo’s idea. Otherwise, there was no way Kim Hyeri, who had no interest in Choi Hyunmin, would have suggested going on a trip together.

,Still, we have to give that bastard a taste of his own medicine. Choi Jui-nim, that guy treats you badly, right?

,Of course! Deputy Lee-nim. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of expression he’ll make if we dump him at the last moment as planned. Hehehe.

Even though Hyunwoo suggested it first, Hyeri, who enjoys manipulating a man who likes her, doesn’t seem to have a very good personality either.

,Well, I knew she was a sly fox unlike her appearance, but her personality isㄷㄷ. Or is it because the [Affection] was amplified by the work system?

Well, it wasn’t important now whether Kim Hyeri’s personality problem was due to the influence of the work system or her innate tendency. Hyunwoo just had to enjoy this game.

,By the way, did anything happen when you were alone in the accommodation earlier?

,No, he was touching me sneakily, thinking I had feelings for him. Ugh… it’s annoying.

,Well, accept light skinship. If you push him away too much, he might hurt his pride and end it abruptly.

,Yes… so I held back? Did I do well?

,Yes, you did well.

,Then… please praise me. Deputy Lee-nim.

Hyeri looks at Hyunwoo with an expectant expression. Makeup and hair that she paid more attention to than usual because she was coming to Haeundae. She didn’t wear heavy makeup because she originally had clear skin without any blemishes, but the red blush on her cheeks emphasizes her cute image.

,What should I praise you for?

,Hiiing…

Hyeri’s lips pout out at Hyunwoo’s attitude of pretending not to know.

Hyunwoo sees Choi Hyunmin staring blankly at the sea, waiting for Kim Hyeri. Seeing that, Hyunwoo pulls Hyeri into his arms as if to show off.

,Kyaak!

The sun on the beach sparkles on Hyeri’s lips, which are painted with pink tint. Hyunwoo roughly covers those cherry-like lips with his own.

– Jjook jjok jjok

He feels a slight apricot flavor, whether it’s from the tint. Hyunwoo, who has fully tasted her moist lips, inserts his tongue between her lips.

,Eut!

Hyeri, who didn’t expect to have such a sticky kiss in a situation where there were quite a few people around, was surprised and tightened her lips, but she couldn’t help but relax her strength due to Hyunwoo’s persistent attack. Thanks to that, Hyunwoo’s tongue begins to tease every corner of Hyeri’s mouth like a fish in water.

-Chuuup…jjuuup….chupchup

A sticky deep kiss continues for a while, with obscene sounds of tongues rubbing against each other audible in her ears.

,Too… intense…

It’s not that Hyeri has no dating experience, and she’s had a few light kisses, but this is the first time she’s had such a sticky kiss where tongues intertwine like snakes. Is that why? A blissful pleasure that makes her whole body feel like it’s floating in the air dominates her body.

,Damn, go to a motel. Why are they doing that on the street?

,Wow, did you see the girl’s face? I’m so jealous.

,Oppa! What are you looking at now?

– Murmur murmur

As their sticky kiss continues, the attention of the people around them naturally focuses on them. Of course, Hyeri’s appearance played a part. However, Hyunwoo continues to violate Hyeri’s tongue without paying attention to the gazes around him.

With one hand wrapped around her thin waist, completely blocking her escape route, Hyeri had no choice but to be defenseless. And finally, the tongues of the two people, which seemed like they would never end, separate.

-Tzeueok

Sticky saliva stretches and breaks in the air.

,Haa…haa…

Hyeri, who can’t come to her senses even after the kiss, stares at Hyunwoo with a dazed expression. Her face is already flushed as if it’s about to burst, and even her neck is dyed red here and there. The carefully applied pink tint is smeared all over because it was constantly sucked and kissed.

,Is that enough praise?

,…

Hyeri, who is too embarrassed to make eye contact, lowers her head. At times like this, she is unmistakably a twenty-year-old college student.

,Choi Hyunmin will be waiting. Go now.

,Yes…

,I’ll Kakao you later.

Hyeri returns to Choi Hyunmin, shaking off the lingering feelings of the kiss.

,Choi Jui-nim, did you wait long?

,Huh? No. Time flies by when I’m looking at the sea.

Hyunmin pretended to be okay, but he had been constantly 고민한 about calling Kim Hyeri, who didn’t come back from the restroom.

,What the hell did she do in the restroom?

Hyunmin can’t get angry because she took a long time in the restroom, so he tries to manage his expression. But

,Hyeri-ya, but why is your lipstick so smudged?

The tint, which is completely smudged unlike when she left, catches Hyunmin’s attention.

,Like she was sucked and kissed.

His guess was accurate, but

,Water splashed all over my face when I was washing my hands, so it’s all smudged. Heeng… does my face look weird?

,Huh? No, hahaha, you’re still pretty, don’t worry too much.

Hyeri’s beauty wasn’t hidden just because her lipstick was a little smudged. Hyunmin puts aside unnecessary thoughts and naturally takes her hand. He holds her hand tightly, as if he will never let her go again.

,Keueum.., shall we go over there?

Hyunmin clears his throat, perhaps a little embarrassed.

,Yes. I want to see the sea up close.

The two walked along Haeundae Beach for a while like that. Like an affectionate couple.

* * *

,Was the meal okay?

Before they knew it, the sun had set on the darkening beach and darkness had arrived. Choi Hyunmin had reserved a decent Japanese restaurant nearby, so they were able to sit down right away without waiting.

,Yes, it was so delicious. Hehehe.

There was no way she wouldn’t like the 100,000 won per person Omakase sushi. Reserving the best hotel and Omakase Japanese restaurant was also an expression of Hyunmin’s strong will to definitely get Hyeri.

He ordered sake with the meal and naturally offers it to Hyeri.

,You can’t miss good alcohol with this kind of food.

,I’m… not good with alcohol.

Hyeri makes a slightly worried expression looking at the glass in front of her.

,This doesn’t have a high alcohol content. Just try one glass.

Hyeri reluctantly takes a glass at Hyunmin’s suggestion.

,Wow… I’ve never had such delicious alcohol before.

,Hahaha, right? I drink it often too, and it’s clean and tastes good.

The first time is difficult, but the two people empty a bottle of sake neatly as they exchange drinks. The sound of waves is heard softly in their ears, and the atmosphere of the trip ripens.

,Then… shall we go back to the accommodation now that it’s late?

,Ah…yes…

Hyeri, whose face is flushed with what she’s thinking, answers with her head bowed shyly.

And finally, the moment Hyunmin had been waiting for arrived.
