#52.

Lee Han approached Kim Eun-ju, holding the baby and chattering away. A gentle smile graced his face.

,Jin-woo, he’s so cute. Hyun-woo-ssi would be so happy to see this.”

Lee Han’s words were kind, but a bitter feeling crept into Kim Eun-ju’s heart. Her husband rarely spent time with their child.

,Hyun-woo-ssi is working hard for the family. I’m sure he feels bad that he can’t play with the baby as much as he’d like because he’s so busy…”

Lee Han’s words seemed like a comfort, but they only stirred up more questions in Kim Eun-ju’s mind.

,Is he really staying late for the family?’

,I hope your family becomes happy, Eun-ju-ssi. I’m sure Hyun-woo-ssi feels the same way.”

Lee Han spoke with a sincere voice, but a hidden emotion lurked in his eyes. As Kim Eun-ju’s suspicion deepened, an invisible smile spread across his lips.

,Thank you. I should try to trust Hyun-woo more.”

Kim Eun-ju replied, but her voice lacked confidence. Lee Han’s words were only fueling her distrust of her husband.

Lee Han lifted the baby up and smiled brightly. He looked almost like Kim Eun-ju’s husband.

,Jin-woo-ya, you’ll be able to play with your dad more from now on. Right?”

But a faint malice was etched on Lee Han’s face as he looked down at the baby. As Kim Eun-ju’s anxiety deepened, his plan was progressing smoothly.

Kim Eun-ju hugged her child, trying to gather her scattered thoughts. Love and trust for her husband, mixed with growing suspicion, created a complex mess.

Lee Han glanced at her, a smile playing on his lips. His kind words were subtly tightening the noose around Kim Eun-ju.

–

Late at night, Kim Eun-ju sat alone in the living room. After putting the baby to sleep, she was waiting for Lee Hyun-woo to talk. With each tick of the clock, her heart grew heavier.

The sound of the front door opening made Kim Eun-ju look up. Lee Hyun-woo staggered in, his face flushed with alcohol.

,Eun-ju-ya, I love you… Thank you so much for today…”

Lee Hyun-woo mumbled as he approached Kim Eun-ju. He opened his arms to his wife. But the perfume scent wafting from his shirt made Kim Eun-ju freeze. It was the perfume Park Min-ah wore.

Kim Eun-ju’s mind went blank. A strange scent also lingered on her husband’s collar. Lee Hyun-woo must have been with Park Min-ah.

Kim Eun-ju swallowed the surge of anger she felt. She gritted her teeth and forced a fake smile. Then, she opened her arms to Lee Hyun-woo.

,Honey, you worked hard today.”

Lee Hyun-woo hugged his wife tightly. Kim Eun-ju endured the stinging smell of alcohol and Park Min-ah’s perfume as she embraced him. But her eyes were filled with coldness.

,Let’s go to bed now… You must be tired?”

Despite her soft voice, Kim Eun-ju’s body was stiff. Lee Hyun-woo, oblivious to his wife’s awkward reaction, leaned on her.

The two remained embraced for a while. On the surface, it was a loving couple’s hug, but a bitter truth lurked within.

Kim Eun-ju’s mind was in turmoil. Love and betrayal towards her husband clashed violently. But she swallowed it all, maintaining a facade of peace.

After a long hug, Kim Eun-ju helped Lee Hyun-woo to the bedroom. Her face was devoid of even a smile now.

Even after laying down her drunken husband, Kim Eun-ju stared at him for a while. With a faint sigh, she left the room.

As the door closed, tears welled up in Kim Eun-ju’s eyes. She tried to act calm, but her heart was breaking. Kim Eun-ju felt keenly that the breakdown of her marriage was imminent.

–

Inside the management office, Lee Han and Park Min-ah were intertwined on the sofa under the dim light. Their sweaty, naked bodies became one with the shadows of the night, and the lingering afterglow of their lovemaking permeated the air.

Park Min-ah leaned her head against Lee Han’s chest and murmured slowly.

,Chief, is everything over with today’s work?”

Lee Han buried his face in Park Min-ah’s neck. He sniffed deeply, inhaling her scent. It was a thick smell of perfume and bodily fluids mixed together.

,Yes, this is enough. Good job, Min-ah.”

Lee Han’s breath tickled Park Min-ah’s skin. He added in a low voice.

,Weren’t you ashamed to walk around with such a sultry scent?”

Park Min-ah giggled at Lee Han’s words. She reached out and cupped Lee Han’s face.

,I can do anything if it’s what the chief tells me to do. What is there to be ashamed of?”

After speaking, Park Min-ah pressed her lips to Lee Han’s. They intertwined their tongues and kissed deeply.

Only after kissing for a long time did Lee Han and Park Min-ah part their lips. The flames of lust flickered in their eyes.

Park Min-ah stroked Lee Han’s penis with her fingertips.

,Chief, how are you going to spend tonight? Is there anything else I can help you with?”

Her voice was filled with anticipation. Lee Han hugged Park Min-ah tighter and laughed.

Lee Han smiled slowly as he met Park Min-ah’s expectant gaze. He reached out his hand to her.

,Tonight isn’t over yet.”

Joy flashed across Park Min-ah’s face. Without hesitation, she took Lee Han’s hand and snuggled into his arms.

Lee Han hugged Park Min-ah’s naked body roughly. Their flesh, heated with lust, pressed together hotly. He left his mark on Park Min-ah’s neck and chest.

,Chief… Ah, please…”

Park Min-ah gasped and clung to Lee Han. Their bodies became entangled once again. The sound of the sofa creaking with their rough movements and passionate moans filled the management office.

Lee Han gripped Park Min-ah’s hips and moved violently, his movements becoming even rougher as he approached climax. Park Min-ah also moaned sweetly, entrusting her whole body to Lee Han.

,Ugh…!”

At the moment of climax, Lee Han pulled out his penis, removed the condom, and ejaculated on Park Min-ah’s buttocks. White, sticky semen poured onto Park Min-ah’s buttocks and back. Park Min-ah felt the warm energy pouring over her body and shuddered with a loud moan.

The two lay slumped on the sofa for a long time, breathing heavily and dozing off. Their bodies were stuck together with sweat and bodily fluids. The hot heat and sultry scent were messing up the office.

–

Kim Eun-ju entered the management office with heavy steps, holding her child. Anxiety and fatigue were deeply etched on her face. Lee Han looked up at the sound of the door opening.

,Lee Han-ssi…”

Kim Eun-ju’s voice was trembling. She barely managed to continue.

,I really can’t take it anymore. I can’t trust Hyun-woo anymore. What should I do now?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Kim Eun-ju burst into tears. Lee Han quietly approached her as she sobbed, holding her child tightly. He comforted her by patting her back without a word. Kim Eun-ju’s shoulders relaxed a little at his warm touch. Just then, the baby also burst into tears. Perhaps he felt his mother’s emotions. Lee Han carefully took the baby from Kim Eun-ju.

,Come here, Jin-woo-ya. Mommy is sad. Hush, hush…”

Lee Han held the baby and gently rocked him, soothing him. His voice was surprisingly gentle. The baby’s sobbing gradually subsided. The baby seemed to feel comfortable in Lee Han’s arms.

Kim Eun-ju stared blankly at Lee Han as he soothed the baby. He seemed more affectionate and trustworthy than her husband.

,Looking at this, I wish Lee Han-ssi was the baby’s father…’

Kim Eun-ju’s face turned red at the sudden thought that flashed through her mind. She quickly lowered her eyes.

The baby had fallen fast asleep in Lee Han’s arms. Lee Han smiled gently and laid the baby down on the sofa. Then, he took Kim Eun-ju’s hand and led her to the sofa.

The two sat side by side in silence for a while. Lee Han was the first to speak.

,I think it’s too early to give up yet. Maybe you should wait a little longer for Hyun-woo-ssi…”

,I don’t know either, Lee Han-ssi. Am I being too sensitive? But that scent… I definitely smelled a woman’s perfume.”

Kim Eun-ju’s eyes turned red again. Lee Han silently watched her as she revealed her inner thoughts in a trembling voice.

Then suddenly, Lee Han put his hand on Kim Eun-ju’s cheek. He gently wiped away her tears with his thumb. Kim Eun-ju looked at him.

The moment their eyes met, a strange tension flowed between them. It was as if the air between them had become hot.

Lee Han moved closer to Kim Eun-ju. Kim Eun-ju also instinctively leaned towards him, as if drawn to him. Before they knew it, their lips were close.

After a moment of hesitation, Lee Han and Kim Eun-ju lightly touched lips. It quickly turned into a deep kiss.

Hot sighs mingled, and tongues intertwined passionately. Kim Eun-ju wrapped her arms around Lee Han’s neck and pulled him closer.

A kiss that crossed the forbidden line. Lost in the moment, the two explored each other’s lips for a long time. Sensual sounds leaked out from the sofa. Soon, the baby’s cries brought them back to reality. Kim Eun-ju hurriedly pulled away from Lee Han.

,Ah…”

Kim Eun-ju felt her face burning and avoided his gaze. Holding the awakened Jin-woo, her heart was still beating fast.

,I… I should go now. Thank you, Lee Han-ssi.”

Kim Eun-ju trailed off and hurried out of the office.

After closing the door, Kim Eun-ju stood there for a moment, taking a deep breath. The heat flowing down her cheeks, the lingering touch of Lee Han on her lips, and the excitement rising in a corner of her heart. Everything was mixed together, confusing her.

,I shouldn’t be doing this…’

She muttered in her heart, but at the same time, she couldn’t hide the smile spreading across her lips. Amidst the complex emotions of guilt and joy, Kim Eun-ju pressed the elevator button.

In a corner of her heart, a secret satisfaction arose as she recalled the kiss just now. But as if returning to reality, she hugged Jin-woo tighter. As she got on the elevator, Kim Eun-ju couldn’t deny that her heart was already leaning in a dangerous direction.
