Ch.BONUSOvertime After Overtime!

Hmm. I don’t want to work. Ah, I want to go home. Go home! Go hooome!

I’ve been at work for less than 5 minutes and I already want to leave!!

Seojin Baek sat at his desk, trying to regain his composure.

If he stabilized his mental state, his desire to go home would fade. It would fade… fade—like hell it would.

No matter how he thought about it, he simply didn’t want to work. Being S-class didn’t change that fact.

Now he understood why Rina Lee was always darting around like that.

Honestly, keeping the best field agent cooped up inside—her madness was justifiable self-defense.

“There it is again. It’s written all over your face. That ‘I want to go home’ face.”

Jiyoon Han approached with an armful of documents and dropped them loudly on his desk.

Naturally, Seojin Baek’s face immediately fell as he quietly observed the scene.

“Ms. Jiyoon. Why are you doing this?”

“Doing what?”

“We’re all S-class, aren’t we? The best of the best. Top field agents. Korea’s strongest! So why, why have we been dealing with paperwork and overtime for over a month?!”

The feeling of injustice was clearly written all over his face.

Of course, this tantrum wouldn’t have the slightest effect on Jiyoon Han standing before him.

“Who went beyond the gate?”

“…I did.”

“Yes. And who would write a more accurate report?”

“…That would be me too.”

“Exactly! So shouldn’t you be working really hard?”

Don’t even think about escaping. Thanks to Rina, I’m already in work hell too!

If you’re upset, bring Rina here and make her sit down! Make her write those reports!

That expression was clearly visible on Jiyoon Han’s face. It was obvious without saying.

“…”

All Seojin Baek could do in response to Jiyoon Han was sigh.

What would Rina do in this situation anyway? She’d probably write one sentence and then complain she couldn’t do it.

Rina was already handling her duties by being dispatched to various gates.

The problem was that she caused incidents every time, making things worse for everyone else.

“Or you could ask Soohyun to help you?”

“I’d like to, but she’s busy with other things. You know how it is.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Recently, Soohyun Kim had been given a new duty: Rina’s restrainer.

Originally, Seojin Baek had been fulfilling that role, but he’d become less available due to other duties.

During that time, Soohyun Kim had taken over, partly voluntarily and partly involuntarily.

“It’s kind of ridiculous. Who would have thought that Rina would try to cause less trouble just to avoid someone’s disapproval.”

“I heard she tried her best not to get scolded by her mother.”

“In her mother’s case, it wasn’t so much restraint as it was… how should I put it. Just survival instinct.”

Well, she must have been intimidated by someone powerful enough to smack Rina’s back.

In contrast, Soohyun Kim’s case was different—Rina was showing restraint out of concern that her issues might be reported directly to Seojin Baek.

She was literally a restrainer, keeping Rina firmly in check to prevent her from causing trouble.

“But if you work hard just for today, you can go home, so hang in there.”

“Wow. That’s really encouraging.”

Though his response lacked any trace of spirit, Jiyoon Han merely shrugged her shoulders.

Come to think of it, she was always in the same state. Isn’t going home the shared sorrow of all office workers?

“By the way, aren’t Rina and Soohyun coming back today?”

“Thanks for reminding me. I’d forgotten.”

“Why? Aren’t you happy? It’s been three days since you’ve seen them.”

“I am happy, but when I think about what kind of trouble they might have caused beyond the gate, my heart starts racing.”

Hearing Seojin Baek’s answer, Jiyoon Han covered her mouth with an exaggerated gesture and laughed, “Oh!”

*

Beep—

As he opened the door and entered his home, Seojin Baek unconsciously let out a groan, “Ughh.”

After consecutive days of overtime, he finally got to leave work on time.

His body felt completely exhausted. Think an S-class is exaggerating? No way.

This was mental fatigue turning into physical fatigue. Being S-class didn’t matter at all.

He hadn’t even played a single game despite the new season starting.

Until recently, he’d been busy with work, and normally, he couldn’t concentrate on games because of the two women who took turns barging into his room—

“Ta-da!”

Seojin Baek flinched as Rina suddenly appeared.

Wait, did she really hide her presence just to surprise him…

“…Wait a minute. Hey, Rina. Your outfit…”

Her fair skin was completely visible. She wasn’t even wearing underwear.

The only thing covering Rina’s body was a single apron.

Yes, she was currently performing what’s known as the naked apron!

“Aha! You reacted right away?! That’s normal! You can’t help but react! If you don’t, you’re impotent! Hey, Soohyun Kim! Hurry up and dress like I told you to! Okay?!”

After boldly shouting, Rina rushed in front of Seojin Baek and suddenly knelt down.

Very politely, with both hands neatly placed on her legs, she continued.

“So, oppa? Do you want to take a bath first? Or dinner? Or perhaps me…?”

“I’m going to wash up, wash up. Don’t talk about ‘you first’ or whatever, move aside, move!”

“Aack! Th-this isn’t the reaction I expected?!”

Pushed aside, Rina made a sad face and nervously waved her arms.

She thought she’d gotten a reaction, so why was he suddenly acting like this?

“Thanks to someone, I’ve been working overtime for five days straight!”

“Ah, five days is only five days! Soohyun and I explored gates for three days!”

“Have you forgotten that those five days of overtime were caused by the incidents you created, Rina?!”

Meanwhile, he quickly took off his outer clothes and draped them over Rina’s shoulders before anyone could see.

Rina opened her eyes lazily and once again tried to charm him with a “Yeaaah!”

Muttering “When will she ever grow up,” Seojin Baek stepped inside and—

“…Urk.”

“Oh, y-you’re home?”

He came face to face with Soohyun Kim, who was wearing the same naked apron as Rina, fidgeting nervously.

“…This is your doing, isn’t it, Rina.”

“Why? Don’t you like it? Isn’t this a spectacular view?”

With motives like “You worked hard during the day, now work hard at night too!”

Rina giggled, slipping her arm through his, telling him to honestly admit he loved it.

Not to be outdone, Soohyun quickly approached from the other side and claimed his other arm.

“Let me wash up and think about this, okay?”

“No way. You might die while washing up!”

Rina pulled on Seojin Baek’s arm, urging him to go to the bedroom right away.

Soohyun Kim, who would normally be the one stopping Rina, was on her side this time.

Wow, this is really driving me crazy. If I give in now, they’ll keep doing this.

Despite all these concerns in his head, Seojin Baek’s body was already heading toward the bedroom.

‘Overtime after overtime. This is insane, really.’

It seemed like tonight would be another all-nighter.
