Episode 113 – Workplace Manager Authority

,Can I talk to you for a second?

,Haa…

Choi Hyun-min blocks Hyeri’s path. She makes an obviously annoyed expression, but he doesn’t back down.

,Just get to the point. I have plans tonight.

Hyeri’s voice is so different from the sweet whispers she uses when she’s clinging to Hyunwoo. She’s already decided that she doesn’t need to impress Choi Hyun-min anymore.

,Okay.

The face that looked so handsome when she first met him now just looks ordinary. Or maybe like a clueless loser?

Thinking that, Hyeri follows Hyun-min out of the office and onto the terrace. Usually, it’s full of smoking employees because of the smoking booth, but maybe because it’s quitting time? No one is in sight.

,Hyeri-ya, don’t think of what I’m about to say as nagging, just listen.

Hyeri’s expression immediately sours at the first words. And so, his boring lecture begins.

,The other day when we went to our hotel… the day you accidentally left your phone behind. I happened to see your phone. I apologize for that first.

It even had a pattern lock, so did he really see it by accident? Hyeri scoffed inwardly but didn’t show it and continued to listen to him.

,What are you thinking, taking nude photos like that? And showing those photos to strangers on random chat. Do you even know how dangerous that is for you?

She definitely had a separate password on her messenger too. He pretends to be worried about her, but Choi Hyun-min intentionally rummaged through Hyeri’s phone, even seeing all the random chat conversations.

,Well, I kind of knew it.

It was Hyunwoo’s order that she did it, but Hyeri felt disgusted by Hyun-min’s two-faced attitude, rummaging through her phone and then lecturing her while pretending to be worried.

For a moment, she doesn’t understand why she was ever interested in this guy.

,Sharing personal information, especially photos, in places used by so many unspecified people…

,You didn’t meet that person offline, did you? If you give out your address or personal information, it’s really dangerous…

Choi Hyun-min drones on and on, pretending to be worried. Hyeri keeps looking at her smartphone screen, as if she doesn’t want to listen.

,I miss Assistant Manager Lee-nim.

,… You understand? Are you listening?

It seems Choi Hyun-min’s lecture is over while she was distracted.

,Are you done? Can I go now?

,You… did you even listen to me?

Hyeri is getting annoyed with Hyun-min’s clingy attitude when she was trying to end things nicely.

,What gives Choi Juim-nim the right to tell me what to do? Frankly, shouldn’t I be more wary of Choi Juim-nim for rummaging through my phone without permission?

,…I… I’m your boyfriend. Can’t I even say this much?

Hyun-min is flustered by the phone accusation.

,Haa… Choi Juim-nim, are you really that clueless? I’ve already moved on a long time ago.

,What?

Hyeri had been ignoring his calls and messages for days. It wasn’t like Hyun-min was dating a woman for the first time, so she thought it was a clear enough expression of her feelings.

,So stop it. Choi Juim-nim. I don’t want to see you anymore.

,…That’s ridiculous. I can never do that!

Choi Hyun-min refuses Hyeri’s breakup notice. Has he ever been dumped by a woman so unilaterally?

Because of his handsome face and abundant wealth, Hyun-min had always held the reins in relationships, and he had never been dumped, only dumped others.

His pride is hurt. Come to think of it, besides the sex he doesn’t remember at Haeundae Hotel, he hasn’t been able to sleep with Hyeri. He barely even had any skinship, let alone sex.

,Shibal, how much money did I spend?

Hyun-min suddenly gets annoyed at that fact. He can’t remember having proper sex even once while dating.

In fact, his uncharacteristic clinginess was due to the influence of the work system.

[User: Choi Hyun-min]

[Age: 28] [Height: 185] [Weight: 73]

[Stamina: 7/10] [Charm: 8/10] [Sex Drive: 10(+3)/10] [Mental: 1(-7)/10]

[Psychological Message]

[Annoyance] regarding system management

[Guilt] towards Kim Hyeri – Amplification Activated

[Obsession] towards Kim Hyeri – Reduction Activated

[Love-Hate] towards Kim Hyeri

The soaring [Sex Drive] due to forced abstinence from Hyeri’s rejection of skinship. The [Mental] that was ground down while being played by her.

With Hyunwoo’s manipulation added to that, [Guilt], [Obsession], and [Love-Hate] were added to the [Psychological Message]. Of course, he had reduced [Obsession], but these mixed emotions created Choi Hyun-min’s current state.

A personality full of pride, confidence, and only knowing himself. It would be accurate to think of him as a male Eunseol. But now, he’s become a pathetic fool desperately clinging to a 20-year-old college student.

,Then I’ll be going. I have plans.

– Hwik

Hyeri leaves the terrace without looking back.

,Wait… ah…

He tried to chase after her belatedly, but she had already disappeared.

,You’re… ignoring me?

Choi Hyun-min’s expression distorts as he remains alone on the terrace.

* * *

– Did you get home okay?

– You’re not doing random chat anymore, right?

– Don’t drink too often either

…

…

,This… this crazy bastard.

Even though she told him to end it clearly, Hyun-min keeps sending calls and messages to Hyeri, as if he couldn’t understand that.

Kim Hyeri’s [Obsession] – Reduction Activated

Even though Hyunwoo clearly reduced Choi Hyun-min’s [Obsession], he didn’t give up on Hyeri. Was it because the other emotions were influencing him?

Hyeri was so sick of Hyun-min’s actions that she immediately blocked his number. She even deleted him from her messenger account, so she wouldn’t receive his calls anymore.

,Hyuu,,,

Only then does she fall asleep.

,Can I see you for a bit?

,Let’s talk.

,Want to grab a coffee at a cafe?

Online blocking was simple, but there was no blocking function offline. Choi Hyun-min keeps coming to Hyeri’s office seat.

She rejected him strongly to his face, to the point of embarrassment, but his clinginess doesn’t end, as if he has no pride.

,Haa…

Just as her patience was about to run out

– Ttirring

The message she had been waiting for from her Master-nim arrived. Hyeri makes a completely different, incredibly happy expression and types a message.

* * *

,What is this? Since when did I become a consultation window?

Hyunwoo, who sent a message to Hyeri with his Master-nim’s account, had to switch his phone to silent because of the messages pouring out like a storm.

He definitely established an absolute relationship of Master and Slave, but Hyeri was constantly whining to her Master-nim.

She was upset about the infrequent contact and that she was having a hard time because of a man who had been clinging to her recently.

,It’s about Choi Hyun-min.

Thanks to that, Hyunwoo learned the latest news between the two. Hyun-min is clinging to Hyeri despite her clearly telling him to break up.

,Hmm… I need to take care of it.

Hyunwoo thought the same thing as Hyeri.

Whether it was because of Hyeri, who acted like a fox with an innocent face, or his colleague Jaehoon’s slander, Choi Hyun-min was inexplicably disliked.

When the two of them started flirting at the company not long after, Hyunwoo hated seeing it and broke up their relationship with the work system.

After that, Hyunwoo could have targeted Hyeri and dated her. But there was no need to date just one person when he had the authority of the work system manager. How many female employees are there in the company?

So he coaxed Hyeri to meet Hyun-min again. It was simply because it wasn’t exciting to just fuck her purely. Of course, it was a bonus to torment the obnoxious Choi Hyun-min.

Thanks to that, Hyunwoo had enjoyed the thrill of deflowering her and calling her out in the middle of her dates with Hyun-min to fuck her.

Of course, skinship was absolutely forbidden. He obviously had no intention of sharing his woman with another guy.

,But it keeps going out of control?

Hyun-min, who should have just been wanking off alone like a pushover and being dragged around by Hyeri, is starting to develop unnecessary emotions like [Obsession] and [Love-Hate], making it annoying to manage him. It was definitely time to take care of him.

,Hmm…

Hyunwoo, who was thinking about a plan to take care of him.

– So what do you want me to do?

He subtly asks her what she wants.

As if she had been waiting for that question, Hyeri proposes a plan in a long message. Hyunwoo reads the contents and

,Keukeukeuk… That’s Kim Hyeri for you.

He admires her amazing idea.

– Okay, I’ll help you with that much.

– Thank you. Master-nim~

Hyunwoo decides to solve this problem through Hyeri’s Master, not himself.

* * *

– Choi Juim-nim, let’s meet after work. Not inside the company.

,Hehe… That’s more like it.

Hyun-min smiles slyly at Hyeri’s message. He thinks he’s dodged enough, and he’s not dead yet.

,Alright… shall we go?

With expectations that he might be able to restore his relationship with Hyeri, Hyun-min heads to the meeting place.

,Hmm… Is this it?

Hyun-min arrives at the meeting place first. It was a cafe with a nice atmosphere that had rented out the entire top floor and rooftop of the building and decorated the rooftop with a rooftop terrace.

Hyeri hasn’t arrived yet. He waits for her while enjoying the softly flowing music.

– Uuuuung Uuuuung

At that moment, Hyeri calls.

– Choi Juim-nim, have you arrived at the meeting place yet?

,Yeah. I arrived first and am sitting at a table. The view is great here.

– Then can you look at the rooftop of the building next door?

,Huh?

The sun is slowly setting and darkness is falling over the city. Hyun-min stares at the rooftop of the building next door, which is the same height as the rooftop cafe. There, two men and women were standing, having been there since who knows when.

,What, is that you standing there now?

– Yes, that’s right.

The distance between the two buildings is quite close, so Hyeri’s face is visible in Hyun-min’s view.

A cute face bursting with freshness, a slim but voluptuous body, bangs in a see-through style, and long brown hair with thick wavy perms.

It’s her appearance that he saw in the office a few hours ago.

But who is the man next to her? A mysterious man standing right next to Hyeri. His face is not visible at all because he is wearing black sunglasses and a mask.

,But… who’s next to you?

– …

The call is still connected, but Hyeri is silent.

– Beolteok

,What!

Hyun-min gets up roughly from his chair. It was because the man standing next to Hyeri started groping her body.

The hand stroking her shoulder runs down her arm and grabs her bulging breasts over her thin short-sleeved blouse. Is it because it’s still dinner time? There were no other customers in the cafe yet besides Hyun-min.

Is that why? The mysterious man puts his other hand under Hyeri’s short frill skirt, which covers about half of her fair thighs, without hesitation.

The thin material of the skirt clearly revealed the shape of the man’s hand moving underneath. Hyeri was leaning against the railing, trembling, wondering where and how he was touching her.

,Wh-what… what are you doing? Kim Hyeri. Huh?

– Even though I told you to stop… Haaheung,,, because Choi Juim-nim wouldn’t listen… I have to make you give up. Heueung…

Hyeri’s voice is mixed with suggestive moans in between, due to the man’s touch rubbing between her breasts and crotch.

– Eudeudeuk

A chilling sound comes from his jaw, as if he’s clenching his teeth tightly.

,Stop that bastard right now. Unless you want to die.

– What right do you have, Choi Juim-nim? You’re not my boyfriend, are you? Heueung…

– Kwahang

The man obscenely caresses Hyeri’s breasts and crotch inside her skirt in real time during his call with her. Hyun-min slams the table roughly and vents his anger for nothing. But nothing changed.

The woman he loves was being molested by another man in front of his eyes.

,You… stay there.

Unable to bear it any longer, Hyun-min moves towards the cafe exit. He was about to run to the building across the street where Hyeri was right away.
