#29.

With a voice choked with tears, Park Min-ah called out Lee Han’s name and clung to him. Lee Han hugged her tightly and stroked her back. As his warmth spread, her sobs gradually subsided.

“Team Leader-nim… today at work, Department Head Lee Min-ho…”

She barely managed to speak with a trembling voice. Lee Han’s expression turned strange.

“What about him?”

“He… tried to touch me… and then I fell over…”

Recalling the incident where her crotch got wet, she felt suffocated. After barely explaining the situation, Lee Han’s face filled with concern.

“You must have been very surprised. Thankfully, nothing serious happened.”

“Yes… I’m sorry, Team Leader-nim… I should have been more careful…”

“No, it’s not Min-ah-ssi’s fault. That bastard is the bad one.”

She nodded at his kind words. Soon, she began to recount the events that had transpired at work.

“The president said that instead of making a fuss about Department Head Lee Min-ho’s actions… he’ll make me a permanent employee.”

“Really? That would be a great opportunity for Min-ah-ssi.”

“It is… but even though it’s not my fault, they’re just trying to cover it up, so I feel a bit weird…”

Hearing the bitterness in her voice, Lee Han held her hand tightly.

“Min-ah-ssi, hang in there. It’s a tough world, but we have to endure it. I’m here for you.”

She felt grateful for his comforting words. Leaning against him, she slowly lifted her head and met his gaze.

“Thank you, Team Leader-nim.”

With a smile, Lee Han cupped her face. Their lips slowly drew closer. Their breaths mingled, and their lips lightly brushed.

Lee Han’s hand, which had been casually loosening her clothes, stopped.

“Min-ah-ssi… you’re not wearing panties?”

She felt like she was dying of embarrassment, but she mustered her courage and confessed.

“Yes… it got a little wet earlier today…”

A playful smile appeared on Lee Han’s lips. Seeing that, Park Min-ah’s heart raced like an arrow. She felt proud that her little event seemed to have pleased him.

Their clothes fell to the floor. Her bare skin shivered in the cool air. Lee Han’s lips traced her neck and nibbled at her collarbone. As his hand touched her lower abdomen, a groan escaped her lips.

“Eung…”

With a small moan, she clung to him. Biting her lip, wanting something deeper, she mustered her courage and asked with hesitant eyes.

“Team Leader-nim… can I now…”

At those words, Lee Han looked at her with expectant eyes.

“Are you really sure?”

She nodded, and he smiled. He laid Park Min-ah down on the bed and climbed on top of her. He carefully spread her legs and lowered his waist. Something hard touched her lower abdomen.

“Team Leader-nim…”

She whispered in a trembling voice. Earnestness bloomed in their gazes as they looked at each other.

“I love you… Team Leader-nim…”

Finally, Lee Han plunged deep inside Park Min-ah. A suppressed moan burst from her lips. Tears streamed down her face from the pain of her hymen tearing. At the same time, an unfamiliar pleasure spread throughout her body.

“Ugh… ah… it hurts…”

“Bear with it, Min-ah-ssi. Just a little longer.”

Hearing Lee Han’s voice whispering in her ear, she mustered her strength and nodded. His hand gripped her slender waist tightly, and he slowly began to thrust. Something hot filled her inside, engulfing Park Min-ah.

“Heueuk… Team Leader-nim…”

“Min-ah-ssi, you can’t leave me.”

Tears streamed down her face at his words, overwhelmed with emotion. She had offered him her virginity. She had given him both her body and soul. Ecstasy filled her foggy consciousness. The tearing pain slowly faded, leaving only the sensation of being completely enveloped by him.

“Ah… aah…”

She couldn’t come to her senses with Lee Han’s increasingly rough movements. Her vision blurred white as the shock penetrated deep inside her. She looked up at him with half-unfocused eyes and whispered.

“Team Leader-nim… I love you… I only love you…”

She didn’t hear his reply. Only his hot lips touched her eyes. From below, something hard relentlessly pounded, driving her crazy. She couldn’t distinguish between the tears and the vaginal fluids, from the pain and pleasure of penetrating a virgin. Her climax was approaching.

“Eung… I… I’m getting strange…”

“It’s because it’s your first time… Min-ah-ssi…”

His voice trembled slightly. Lee Han increased his speed. She was swept away by a pleasure that felt like lightning was running through her head. Park Min-ah’s body convulsed, tightly clenching Lee Han’s penis.

“Min-ah-ssi…”

Instead of replying to his moaning voice, she let out a long groan. Something hot poured inside her. The evidence of her virginity and his semen mixed and flowed out. At the same time, a white flash exploded before her eyes, and she reached her climax.

“Aeuuu…!!!”

Her inside contracted convulsively, spewing out the hot, flushed ejaculate. Her mind went blank with the first climax she had ever experienced. The pain of her hymen tearing and the intense pleasure mixed and surged. It felt like the world had stopped. She trembled convulsively for a long time, clinging to him. She sank into a deep darkness, as if she had lost consciousness.

Her consciousness slowly returned. Gasping for breath, she weakly buried her face in his chest. She felt a heavy ache in her lower abdomen. A red tinge mixed with the white semen, flowing down the inside of her thighs. Her entire body was soaked in sweat.

“Min-ah-ssi. Was that your first time? Are you okay?”

Tears welled up at his comforting touch. Instead of answering his question, which seemed to see through her tender and aching heart, she sobbed. She now belonged to him completely. She was endlessly bound to him.

“Team Leader-nim… please never leave me…”

Swallowing her words, she burrowed further into his embrace. She wasn’t afraid of anything in the world, as long as Lee Han was by her side. She would live entirely as his. With that faint resolve, her eyelids slowly closed. She fell into a deep sleep, embraced by his warmth.

–

The twilight of dawn faded, and the morning sunlight streamed through the window. Slowly opening her eyes, Park Min-ah didn’t recognize where she was. An unfamiliar ceiling came into view. Turning her head to look around, she vaguely remembered. It was the bedroom inside the management office.

Suddenly, the events of last night flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. The moments when she and Lee Han became one for the first time. Her face flushed hot at the memory. Only then did she realize that she was lying naked. She quickly pulled the blanket over herself, covering her body.

Carefully getting out of bed, she approached the closed door. She gently opened the door and peeked out. At that moment, their eyes met. It seemed Lee Han had noticed she was awake.

“Min-ah-ssi, you’re awake? Are you okay?”

Lee Han asked with a worried voice. Too embarrassed to meet his eyes, she only nodded.

“Yes… I’m okay.”

“You fell asleep so deeply last night, Min-ah-ssi… I had no choice but to let you sleep. I’m sorry you had to be here.”

Park Min-ah quickly replied to Lee Han’s words.

“Ah, no. I’m sorry for suddenly falling asleep. I slept comfortably thanks to you.”

Avoiding his gaze out of embarrassment, she began to pick up her clothes and put them on. Lee Han watched her silently. After roughly tidying up her clothes, Park Min-ah raised her eyes towards him.

“I’ll be going now. Team Leader-nim.”

“It’s dangerous for you to go alone at this hour. I’ll take you.”

Before she could refuse, Lee Han grabbed his coat and draped it over her shoulders. A warm feeling spread through her.

The two of them left the management office. An awkward silence flowed between them. They walked side by side along the dawn streets, where the darkness had not yet completely faded. Before they knew it, they had arrived at her front door.

“Thank you for coming all the way here.”

As she was about to say goodbye, Lee Han leaned towards her. Her eyes closed involuntarily as his face drew closer. His lips gently met hers. A sweet kiss followed. It felt like the passionate moments of last night were being revived.

“Get home safe. Get some rest today.”

Park Min-ah nodded and smiled at Lee Han’s words. She waved goodbye and trudged to the front door, opening it and stepping inside.

After lingering for a while, she walked to the bed. It still seemed to retain his warmth. Her mind was filled with the passion of last night. A laugh escaped her lips. An emotion that was hard to tell if it was joy or madness erupted. She had handed the key to her life over to Lee Han.

“Team Leader-nim… I love you…”

She muttered, burrowing into the blanket. Gasping for breath, she indulged in the memories with him. The whole world shimmered in pink. The future that was soon to come was both frightening and exciting.

And so, Park Min-ah, bound by a new string, was dragged into the darkness. Soaked in a dreamlike happiness, she walked into the prison that confined her, as if of her own volition.

–

Lee Han leaned back in his chair, lost in deep thought. He was surprised that Park Min-ah was a virgin. Of course, he had vaguely guessed, but he hadn’t been certain.

‘Hmm… I need to be careful…’

Muttering to himself, Lee Han bit his lip.

It was obvious that the deeper their relationship became, the more she would cling to him. He didn’t want their feelings to deepen. He wanted her to cling to him, but to obey his words, and he didn’t want her to develop beyond simply demanding affection.

Casting his gaze out the window, Lee Han was lost in thought. He had to keep Park Min-ah by his side, but without crossing the line. If he acted too coldly, she might leave him. But he couldn’t give her affection either.

The image of Park Min-ah lying in bed came into view. He felt both excited and complicated by the devotion of the virgin who had offered him her purity.

He now had to figure out how to handle her, how to walk a tightrope skillfully. He had to make Park Min-ah fall deeply for him, but without pushing her away or making her rebel. Lee Han clutched his head and let out a deep sigh.

It was a situation that required delicate tightrope walking. He had to maintain her feelings for Lee Han and her obedience at the same time. It was going to be a difficult task. To keep her from seeing through his true intentions and to keep her by his side.
