Bang!

“Nice shot!”

An appointment made for a weekday morning.

While others were busy at work, I leisurely pursued the blue sky, and a bean-sized ball drew an arc before gently dropping onto the green.

As it landed on the short, meticulously maintained grass, the surrounding caddies clapped politely, and the members of parliament joined in with unenthusiastic applause.

“Wow, your skills are improving by leaps and bounds every day.”

“That was a very nice shot!”

“Hahaha, thank you.”

They were mostly middle-aged, with even the youngest being in their early thirties.

Eight adults responsible for South Korea’s national affairs had gathered.

Most were pot-bellied men in their fifties, a ratio that seemed to metaphorically represent the general composition of the Korean National Assembly.

“You seem to pick things up quickly when taught, don’t you?”

Amidst this dull field of ‘gochu’ (peppers, a slang term for men), one woman exuded a uniquely fragrant scent of powder.

She was Ryu Sua’s university senior, whom she’d brought along before, and a figure elected to secure votes from young women.

National Assembly member Song Hanna.

At her young age, the five-sided badge of a Korean National Assembly member shone even through her golf attire.

After their meeting that day, a glance at her resume revealed a person who had truly lived a busy life.

After graduating quickly, she worked as a public broadcast announcer, then swiftly ascended to a member of the National Assembly—a rapid career path.

Well, the very fact that she was working as a National Assembly member at just 31 years old was usually an unbelievable level.

She was truly a woman with extraordinary drive and ambition.

“Being under a good coach, this much is thanks to your excellent teaching.”

She even played golf well.

It wasn’t empty flattery; her basic score was par or birdie per round, showing a skill level good enough to aim for a semi-professional career.

When I responded favorably, Song Hanna easily revealed her white teeth in a smile.

“There are also students who can’t follow, no matter how well they’re taught. Isn’t that right, seniors?”

“Oh, come on! We’re trying our best too, you know.”

“Hanna-ya, if you embarrass us so openly, we’ll feel a bit hurt, won’t we?”

The pot-bellied members of parliament laughed heartily as they retorted.

Even this gathering with these older gentlemen was a place opened by Song Hanna herself.

She mobilized her connections, bringing together many ‘heavy-bottomed’ (indolent/stubborn) members of parliament for a monthly social gathering.

A good talker, excellent golfer, and a resourceful, well-connected person.

Even beyond competent, she showed an excessive degree of competence.

*Click.*

However, I postponed the praise for a moment.

As Song Hanna flicked her head as if signaling that now was the time, I immediately caught on and approached the next member of parliament whose turn it was.

I was not so foolish as to miss this opportunity, which was like a mother bird feeding its chick directly into its mouth.

“Assemblyman-nim,”

“Ah! Please speak, CEO-nim.”

“Looking at your score today, it seems there might be something wrong with your golf club.”

“My golf club?”

“Yes, my iron is a brand-new model I just bought. Why don’t you try it?”

“Hmm…?”

I handed over the golf club I had just swung.

When the pot-bellied middle-aged assemblyman, though not fully understanding, came close enough to receive it, I intentionally pressed my body against his.

I whispered at a distance only audible to the two of us.

‘The A○M stock will double soon, so buy plenty.’

“!”

Information secretly conveyed between just the two of us.

The middle-aged National Assembly member recoiled for a moment, but then naturally took only my golf club and pulled his body away.

“Oh, I feel like I’ve certainly received some good energy!”

The assemblyman walked to the ball set up by the caddy, feigning an exaggerated reaction.

*Thwack!*

After landing the golf ball on the green near me with a rather good shot, he exclaimed, “Clothes certainly do make the man!” and then approached.

As he returned the golf club, simultaneously,

‘Soon, I’ll call my friends as well, so let’s continue to get along well in the future.’

He whispered back, signifying success.

He immediately fell hook, line, and sinker for the ‘bribe information’ that caused no trouble, no matter how much was consumed.

*Grin.*

Friendships extending through connections.

Like holding hands, one person bringing another to this secret gathering.

Thanks to Song Hanna’s resourcefulness, even gaining control of the National Assembly members was incredibly easy.

*

*Whoosh!*

The golf cart, driven by the caddy in front.

Song Hanna, who naturally sat beside me, surveyed the peaceful surrounding scenery before opening her mouth.

“It seems the seniors are satisfied.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course they’re satisfied.

They’re gobbling up incredibly juicy bribes that cause no trouble, no matter how much they consume.”

“That’s thanks to Hanna-ssi’s excellent persuasion.”

“That… well, I don’t know.”

She shrugged her shoulders self-deprecatingly, then,

“Even if I tried not to spread rumors, there was a big news article about Doyeon-ssi recently, wasn’t there?”

“Hmm…”

“Over 7 trillion in performance… Good heavens.”

After a clear sigh,

“Do you honestly think it makes sense for a credit card company to earn double its market capitalization?”

“It still happened.”

“Yes, it happened. All from your hands.”

At this point, she slowly twisted her head and looked back.

Shaking her flowing hair and flicking her golf skirt, she turned towards me.

Looking at her now, her hairstyle was quite unique compared to before; her side hair was styled in cute, curled shapes with reddish tints.

Her appearance was neat and tidy, befitting an announcer, but it seemed she liked to adorn herself flamboyantly.

“To even predict whether stock prices will go up, aren’t you practically seeing the future?”

It was truly the look one would give an alien.

I, too, evaluated Song Hanna highly in my own way, but from her perspective, I seemed like an incomprehensible alien.

‘If I had to nitpick, I suppose so.’

In her eyes, there was a mixture of playful, pure curiosity and a distinct seriousness.

“If it only brings profit, do we really need separate justification?”

“Hmm…”

A breath exhaled through her nose, as if deflated by my light answer meant to evade the situation.

Even if I suddenly tried to explain that the body’s owner had changed, there would be no benefit.

Rather than painstakingly explaining this unscientific nature, it’s better to demonstrate through action and persuade them.

Because it ultimately rises, people believe it.

Because the information always proves true, they follow.

Everyone can win, so that’s enough.

“Tell me.”

Song Hanna toyed with her curled side hair, then opened her mouth again as if poking a ripe persimmon.

*Slide.*

She subtly pushed her hip closer to narrow the distance, and,

“Do you still have enough high-level information that you know?”

“Well… the stocks or coins I’ve pointed out might still rise by luck.”

“Yes, ‘by chance,’ of course.”

After chuckling and agreeing,

“And that investment information, which ‘incidentally’ goes up, you’ll distribute it to people according to their value, won’t you, CEO-nim?”

“……”

Setting aside the suspicion that I know the future, Song Hanna started calculating on her abacus first.

It seemed her career wasn’t built by chance; her mind worked remarkably fast.

“Somehow, I have a hunch that even bigger news hasn’t come out yet.”

“Well… I suppose I could tell you that if we get ‘closer’.”

“Ugh~ You’re so heartless.”

*Rub.*

In an instant, the space that could fit a palm between our hips was now filled without any gap.

Pressing her thigh intimately against mine, she whispered into my ear with a purring, cat-like voice.

‘I thought we were already close enough.’

A greater greed openly revealed.

I deliberately avoided her gaze and parried her remark.

“You’ve already earned enough with my company’s stock, haven’t you? Is it still not enough?”

I had already given special information to Song Hanna, who was doing her work properly.

One of the few people I’d tipped off about the company’s performance before the general shareholders’ meeting.

She must have already earned double her investment just from my company’s stock, which had hit new highs daily immediately after the announcement.

“Of course, my wallet has gotten fatter thanks to CEO-nim.”

“Then?”

“Just because it’s fatter doesn’t mean there’s no more room, does it?”

After sweeping back her flowing hair,

“Besides, setting money aside, I want to get even closer. With the man who declared himself the number one in South Korea’s business world.”

*Smile*♥

Her hand caressed my thigh, which was pressed against hers.

It teased, almost touching ‘that’ part of me, pleasantly stimulating me as if she knew a man’s desires well.

Revealing her thick thighs beneath her skirt.

She rubbed the fragrant scent of her makeup against me.

“If CEO-nim is okay with it, I’d really like to get ‘closer’ even faster.”

“……”

Song Hanna was a style true to her desires.

She had carefully observed her ‘food’ so far, then quickly placed her trust in me.

‘I have a premonition that this is too fast and might cause trouble…’

Frankly, I don’t discriminate when it comes to sleeping with women, but this woman presses the accelerator with dangerous lack of hesitation.

Because my words had proven true a few times, she had bet on herself without reservation, as if throwing herself forward.

[Song Hanna’s Loyalty towards you: 98%]

As you can see, her loyalty is already at 98%.

She’d made a lot of money, which was proof of her trust, but she was excessively devoted to me despite not having met many times.

To the point where it felt like she was seducing *me*.

For someone like me with a terrible image, this was an excessive amount of favor.

‘Could it be… that kind of thing?’

*Slide.*

While I was lost in thought, Song Hanna pulled my hand.

With excessive aggressiveness, she roughly pulled my arm, and then,

*Squish*♥

“!?!”

My fingertips instantly landed between Song Hanna’s thighs, beneath her skirt.

With a flushed face, Song Hanna boldly carried out her sudden action.

Her abrupt action was surprising, but what was more surprising was,

‘Something… is immediately tangible?’

It was that sensation.

The damp, soft, moist sensation of a cave.

That spot that never grew tiresome, no matter how much it was touched or poked.

*Squish…*

“♥”

Just in case, I grazed the spot with my fingertips, and Song Hanna smiled even more salaciously.

With my hand still between her legs, she approached like a cat and purred, asking,

“CEO-nim, aren’t you suddenly hungry?”

A sweet whisper.

Among all the courtesans I had embraced, there was no woman like this.

On the contrary, they always spread their legs only after receiving money; there was never a case where they just spread them on their own.

An aggressive advance I was experiencing for the first time.

Moreover, the other party was a respectable member of the South Korean National Assembly.

Who would imagine such a proud opponent playing a round of golf without her panties on?

“…I’ve gotten damn hungry.”

“Ah! In that case, let’s just slip away by ourselves first♥”

Feigning innocence, she withdrew her hand and ordered the caddy who was driving.

As she whispered something into the female caddy’s ear,

*Creak.*

Makeshift Restroom

Soon, the cart stopped at a place that seemed like a deserted, empty restroom, where few people ever came.
