#28.

Lee Han gently picked up the exhausted Park Min-ah and laid her on the sofa. Park Min-ah’s body twitched with each touch of his hand. Having been tormented by the device all day, she had already reached her limit. As Lee Han removed her sweat-soaked clothes, Park Min-ah’s tension melted away, and she could no longer hold back. Like a dam bursting, a wave of ecstasy crashed over her, and her vaginal fluids gushed out, eventually causing her to piss herself.

Park Min-ah burst into tears, sobbing. Shame, guilt, and pleasure mingled together, causing her body to tremble. Lee Han tenderly embraced her and stroked her back. As her sobs gradually subsided, he removed her wet underwear. Soon after, he began to carefully wipe her entire body with a warm towel.

,Manager-nim, I’m sorry… for showing you this side of me…”

Her face flushed with embarrassment, but Lee Han simply smiled. He wiped away the moisture with the towel and neatly folded her underwear and clothes. Then, he picked up a large towel and wrapped it around Park Min-ah’s naked body. Lee Han carefully carried her on his back and left the office.

Lee Han’s body temperature, felt through the towel, was warm and comforting. However, walking through the apartment complex with her entire body exposed to the gazes of others felt terrible.

,Someone might recognize me…’

Park Min-ah, terrified, buried her face in Lee Han’s back. He held her tightly, as if carrying a precious object, and quickened his pace.

Soon, Lee Han arrived at Park Min-ah’s apartment and gently laid her on the bed. He kissed her forehead and whispered for her to rest. She was more embarrassed to show him her messy room than her naked body. Park Min-ah, her face bright red, mumbled her thanks. Then, she quickly hid under the covers.

Lee Han carefully closed the door and disappeared. After Lee Han left, Park Min-ah curled up under the covers. The events of the day flashed through her mind like a slideshow. Lee Han’s touch, the device’s stimulation, the moment of climax, and the shameful mistake. Despite the humiliating experience, she felt strangely at peace.

,Manager-nim loves me. That’s why he cherishes me and takes care of me like this…’

The things he had done for her filled her mind. Gently wiping her body, carrying her all the way home. Even the way he looked at her, as if she were a treasure. She felt that all of this was an expression of his sincere affection.

,I want to make him happy too. I’ll do anything for him.’

She believed that obeying his requests and accepting everything was the way to prove her love. No matter how painful or embarrassing the task, she felt she could willingly endure it. A life of complete obedience to him. Her mind was filled with joy.

But along with those feelings, she also felt a sense of emptiness. A feeling of having lost something, a hollow feeling. Something inside her was breaking and collapsing. The more that happened, the deeper her dependence on Lee Han became. She felt like she couldn’t live without his love.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she soon drifted off to sleep. In her dream, Lee Han was smiling kindly. He praised and embraced Park Min-ah for accepting everything he had given her. Her entire body melted into his warmth. With a happy smile, she fell deeper into dreamland.

In this way, Park Min-ah’s reality became twisted and distorted. She came to regard Lee Han’s domination and abuse as love. Her healthy judgment became clouded, and her self-esteem crumbled. Becoming merely his doll became the entirety of her life.

As Lee Han periodically made Park Min-ah wear the device, her daily life gradually changed. What was initially uncomfortable and embarrassing became increasingly familiar. She developed the habit of stopping by the management office before going to work. Putting on the device that Lee Han handed her was as natural a movement as putting on socks or underwear.

Even at work, she trembled from the stimulation caused by the device, but pretended everything was fine. Secretly removing the device in the bathroom and cleaning it was no longer unfamiliar. During lunchtime, she ate with her female colleagues while trying to ignore the vibrations coming from the device and focusing on the conversation. Swallowing the heat that crept up from her lower abdomen and smiling became her daily routine.

After work, she headed straight to the management office to see Lee Han. She wanted to lean on his touch, which always embraced and caressed her. Lee Han would remove the device and cool down her heated body. Sometimes, he would introduce a new device. The size and shape varied, but Park Min-ah accepted them willingly. She was ready to follow any request of his.

In this way, wearing the device and entrusting her body to Lee Han’s touch gradually permeated deep into Park Min-ah’s daily life. Even though it seemed like Lee Han was playing with her, she regarded it as an expression of love. She felt that her relationship with him had become the entirety of her life.

But deep down, a question was rising. The fact that she had never truly become one with Lee Han. Sometimes, she wondered if she was being treated like a toy. The more that happened, the greater her anxiety about Lee Han grew. An unfulfilled emptiness deepened. Such thoughts swirled in her mind, tormenting Park Min-ah.

She was afraid to voice her questions about him, fearing rejection. After much deliberation, Park Min-ah picked up her phone and contacted an old friend. Talking to her after a long time made the stress she had been feeling melt away like snow. She cautiously asked questions about relationships.

,You finally got a boyfriend? How far have you gone? Tell me everything!’

Park Min-ah’s face broke into a smile at her friend’s excited voice.

,Well… it’s like…’

She cautiously began to talk about Lee Han. However, she omitted the embarrassing parts, such as the exhibitionism and the use of devices, mentioning only the foreplay.

,But what I’m worried about is… isn’t he treating you like a toy?’

Park Min-ah was startled by her friend’s worried question.

,No, it’s definitely not like that! He cherishes me and loves me so much.’

Her mind calmed down only after she strongly denied it.

,Okay, sorry. But you need to be more assertive. That’s how the relationship will develop.’

Her friend advised Park Min-ah to take the initiative. Lost in thought, Park Min-ah took her friend’s words to heart.

After talking to her friend, Park Min-ah began to think deeply about her relationship with Lee Han. She kept wondering why he wouldn’t sleep with her.

—

Throughout the morning, Park Min-ah’s mind was filled with the thought of having a relationship with Lee Han.

,I need to ask him directly. I’ll talk to him tonight.’

Having made that decision, she focused on her work when she felt a strange sensation in her lower abdomen.

,Ah… I let my guard down.’

Her underwear was slightly wet and damp. This often happened after she got used to the device. She quickly got up from her seat and headed to the bathroom.

Sitting on the toilet, she carefully removed the device. A thrilling sensation ran through her entire body. She covered her mouth, barely managing to suppress the sound. She wiped away the vaginal fluids that had soaked into her crotch with a tissue and sighed. That’s when she suddenly realized that she didn’t have her usual spare underwear with her.

,What should I do… Should I go without underwear like this?’

She was lost in thought for a moment. Then, Lee Han’s face came to mind.

,Maybe… Manager-nim would like it?’

She was half expecting it, half afraid.

After hesitating, Park Min-ah decided to wear only the device without underwear. She carefully pushed the device in and pulled up her pants. Without underwear, it felt much more snug against her lower abdomen. The device poked and prodded her inner walls with every step. It was ticklish yet thrilling.

Her face flushed, but she gritted her teeth and returned to her seat. Having to endure the whole day without panties. Just imagining it made her dizzy. Still, the thought that it would be a special gift for Lee Han made her heart flutter. She bit her lip, imagining what would happen tonight when she confessed her decision.

Exhausted in the afternoon, Park Min-ah headed to the pantry to perk herself up. As she stood in front of the coffee pot, pouring coffee into a paper cup, she heard a familiar voice.

,Min-ah-ssi, how’s your company life these days?’

Turning around, she saw that Manager Lee Min-ho had approached her closely. He smiled with his eyes and placed his hand on Park Min-ah’s shoulder.

,Ah, it’s fine. I’ve been busy adjusting,’

Park Min-ah quickly replied, trying to hide her discomfort. She subtly twisted her body to avoid Manager Lee’s hand on her shoulder. That’s when it happened. His hand, which had subtly slipped, came down towards her butt.

,Wh-what?!’

Surprised, she turned her body abruptly, and because Park Min-ah’s legs, which had become sensitive due to wearing the device without underwear, lost strength from the sudden stimulation.

,”Hiik!”

With a short scream, she collapsed. With a thud, a transparent liquid seeped through her pants and the floor became wet. Manager Lee Min-ho, flustered, stepped back. Park Min-ah, who had fallen on her butt, lowered her head in shame and remained seated, unable to get up.

,What is this…’

His face was filled with bewilderment. A female employee who had rushed over after hearing the noise quickly assessed the situation. She wrapped a pantry towel around Park Min-ah’s waist and chased Manager Lee Min-ho away.

,Manager-nim, please leave now!’

As the commotion in the office subsided, Park Min-ah was summoned to the director’s office. The director said with a troubled expression.

,Min-ah-ssi, I heard there was an incident today. You must have been very surprised. Be careful today. Go home early and get some rest.’

Park Min-ah simply nodded. She swallowed the circumstances she couldn’t bring herself to say.

,I’m sorry… I had an accident because it was that time of the month…’

She didn’t feel good about lying, but there seemed to be no other option. It seemed the company didn’t want to make a big deal out of this.

,No, I understand. Your health is the priority. Get plenty of rest today.’

The director continued with a troubled expression.

,Oh, and about what happened today… We’ll say it was because of Min-ah-ssi’s period, is that okay? Also, we’re planning to proceed with converting Min-ah-ssi to a full-time employee because of her hard work. I’ll give you a vacation, so rest well until the weekend and come to work next week.’

Park Min-ah nodded blankly.

,Yes, that’s fine. Thank you.’

After finishing her conversation with the director, Park Min-ah left the office with a confused mind. Walking down the hallway, she replayed the events of the day. Manager Lee Min-ho’s brazen behavior, her own difficult situation, and the company’s irresponsible attitude.

,Even though this happened, they’re just trying to cover it up. As if it’s my fault…’

A bitter smile escaped her lips. She gritted her teeth at the unfairness she had to endure because she was an intern. But reality was harsh. She knew very well that she had nowhere else to go if not for this company.

,What can I do? I have no choice but to do what they want.’

With a self-deprecating sigh, Park Min-ah trudged along. A sense of helplessness welled up in her chest. Since when had she been living a life swayed by the gazes and evaluations of others? It felt like she was a doll.

,Should I just get out of here then…’

A thought flashed through her mind, and she chuckled without realizing it. But such a choice was a luxury for her in the first place. She had to worry about making a living right away. There seemed to be no other option.

As Park Min-ah trudged down the alley, a familiar building came into view. There, only one person would be waiting for her. She could only rely on him.

,Lee Han-ssi will understand me…’

Gaining strength from that thought, Park Min-ah trudged towards the management office. She struggled to gather her strength, wanting to collapse, and climbed the stairs. Soon, she reached the familiar door.

She paused for a moment to catch her breath and knocked. Her heart pounded at the sound of footsteps coming from inside. Soon, the door opened, and a familiar face appeared. Park Min-ah hugged Lee Han tightly, as if diving into him. As she entrusted her body to his warmth, all the events of the day felt like a distant past.

,Manager-nim… I had a hard day today… It was so hard…’

Tears she could no longer hold back burst forth. She buried her face in his arms and sobbed. It felt like no one in the world would protect her. Only this man was her only refuge. She couldn’t see anything else. Only this moment, this instant, was precious.
