“Here, Assistant Manager Lee-nim, have a drink.”

Park Minchul, sitting across the table, chuckled jovially as he filled my empty wine glass.

Under hypnosis, he didn’t find my sudden visit strange in the slightest.

Instead, he welcomed me as if I were a guest who had been invited all along.

“To have played such a significant role in the project’s success, you seem young, but you’re truly amazing.”

“It’s all thanks to Team Leader-nim’s excellent leadership in guiding the team. What I did was negligible.”

I answered as politely as possible, taking a sip of the red wine in my glass.

On the table were appetizingly grilled steak, potato gratin, salad, and more.

Quite splendid dishes were neatly arranged.

Thanks to Minchul’s hearty laughter, the dinner atmosphere outwardly seemed perfectly cordial.

Except for one person.

That is, Juyoung, who was sitting next to me.

“Team Leader-nim, you should eat too. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”

Despite my urging, she remained silent, her expression rigid, merely cutting at her innocent meat.

Her expression clearly betrayed a mix of complexity and anxiety that she couldn’t quite hide.

A moment ago, when Minchul personally suggested I sit in the empty seat next to her, her expression was quite something to behold.

She was probably feeling a strong sense of discomfort, thinking, ‘Why do I have to sit next to this man?’

But that would only last for a moment.

Because the power of hypnosis and suggestion would slowly erode even her rationality.

“Haha. By the way, Assistant Manager Lee-nim, what do you think of my wife at work?”

Minchul suddenly posed such a question.

“I haven’t seen my wife when she’s working.”

At the sudden question, Juyoung glanced at me, seemingly a little tense.

“Team Leader-nim is a very professional person, and there’s much to learn from her.”

I met her gaze and smiled gently.

“She’s so meticulous in her work and has such strong drive that our team members rely on her greatly.

Sometimes she might seem strict, but that’s all because she’s working hard for the team, isn’t it?”

Minchul nodded, seemingly satisfied with my exemplary answer.

“…That’s too high praise, Assistant Manager Lee.”

Juyoung, however, looked uncomfortable with my praise.

Her heart must have been pounding, wondering what might come out of my mouth.

“By the way, I hope I haven’t inadvertently intruded on your intimate dinner.”

When I feigned an apologetic expression, Minchul lightly waved his hand.

“Oh, what intrusion? You’re a valued guest my wife invited after a long time. How could that be? Isn’t that right, dear?”

“Yes, yes… Of course.”

At Minchul’s question, Juyoung reluctantly gave an awkward smile and moistened her lips with her wine glass.

While she couldn’t deny inviting me due to the suggestion, she was clearly anxious about her husband finding out about Friday night.

“See? My wife is saying so herself. Please make yourself comfortable tonight.”

“Thank you.”

The man himself doesn’t seem bad.

Even though he’s ruined by business failure now, there must have been a time when he was clearly intelligent and confident.

Well, that’s none of my business.

I refilled his empty glass and naturally changed the subject to his job interview.

“You said your interview is next week, right? Is your preparation going well?”

“Of course. I’m preparing diligently, thinking of this as truly my last chance. I can’t disappoint my wife any more.”

“Minchul…”

Seeing Minchul’s renewed determination, Juyoung faintly smiled and lightly patted the back of his hand.

Whew~. I’m getting jealous, aren’t I?

“You’ll definitely pass. Here, I’ll raise a toast for your interview success. Team Leader-nim, you should have a drink too.”

“No, I’m fine…”

Perhaps because of last Friday’s incident, Juyoung clearly refused the alcohol I offered.

“Haha. You’re quite straightforward for a young man. Thank you once again for coming all this way.”

Minchul, on the other hand, willingly raised his glass and accepted the drink I poured.

He seemed to believe, without a doubt, that I was genuinely supporting his future as his wife’s competent and loyal colleague.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t support his recovery.

If their household successfully gets back on its feet, there’s no harm to me.

However, I will definitely take possession of his precious wife’s body and mind.

“Oh, by the way, dear, didn’t you say your business trip to Japan is next week?”

Minchul asked, as if suddenly remembering.

“Ah, yes. That’s right… For three days and two nights, from Wednesday to Friday.”

“Will Assistant Manager Lee-nim be going on that trip as well?”

“Yes. Since I’m in charge of the project, I suppose.”

“That sounds like a lot of trouble. Please, take good care of my wife while you’re there.”

His voice held sincere honesty, without a hint of deceit.

“Even though she seems thorough and strong on the outside, deep down she’s surprisingly delicate.”

I know that very well.

I replied with a good-natured smile.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Team Leader-nim by her side. Have no worries at all.”

‘At night too, of course.’

Adding a lewd thought inwardly, I raised my glass again.

As glasses were exchanged a few more times and the meal reached a certain point.

I now began to gradually, but surely, raise the level of conversation and action as planned.

“Truly, sir, you have a wonderful wife. It’s rare to find someone as capable and outwardly outstanding as Team Leader-nim.”

Feigning genuine admiration, I subtly moved my hand under the table onto Juyoung’s thigh.

Through the smooth fabric of her skirt, the firm yet soft sensation of her skin was thrillingly transmitted to my palm.

“Gasp…?!”

Juyoung gasped, sharply glancing at me, but perhaps because her husband was right in front of her.

Or perhaps due to the suggestion that had already begun to work, she couldn’t audibly protest.

“Haha. That’s right. Sometimes when I look at my wife, I feel so small myself. She’s truly a proud wife.”

Minchul, slightly tipsy, genuinely rejoiced at the praise for his wife, like a child.

Unaware in his wildest dreams that his wife’s thigh was being lewdly caressed by another man’s hand right in front of him.

This time, I was bolder, wrapping my arm behind her shoulder and unhesitatingly gently grasping her ample breast.

Even through her clothes, the large and weighty sensation filled my hand.

“Gasp?!”

At my touch, Juyoung let out a startled cry mixed with bewilderment.

Even under the dim lighting, the tips of her ears were visibly flushed scarlet.

“Truly, the more I see, the more envious I become. To the point where I think if I could date a woman like Team Leader-nim, I’d have no other wishes.”

I grinned slyly, squeezing the breast I was kneading.

“A-Assistant Manager Lee, wait, h-huff.”

At my shameless and blatant actions, Juyoung momentarily couldn’t restrain herself and raised her voice, but.

Her rightful protest was absurdly drowned out and lost by her husband’s casual reaction that followed.

“What’s wrong, honey? It looks fine, what’s the big deal? That’s just light skinship between coworkers, isn’t it?”

“…Huh?”

At her husband’s beyond-common-sense reaction, Juyoung asked again with a bewildered face.

I watched her reaction, barely suppressing the laughter that threatened to erupt.

“R-Right… Yes… H-huff.”

Soon, she too seemed to have completely succumbed to the effect of the suggestion, letting out a sigh mixed with deep resignation and confusion.

“And Assistant Manager Lee-nim. You don’t need to be envious; if someone is as capable as you, they’ll find a good person soon enough.”

His wife was being openly molested by another man right before his eyes.

Yet he calmly accepted it, even supporting the male perpetrator’s future romantic prospects.

This situation, both surreal and perverse, intensely stimulated my arousal.

In response to Minchul’s words, I smiled and subtly extended my empty glass towards Juyoung.

“This wine truly has a wonderful aroma. Would Team Leader-nim pour me a glass directly this time?”

At my request, Juyoung, though still wearing a reluctant expression, eventually picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass.

A rich scent wafted from her hair as she leaned closer to fill the glass.

The moment Juyoung finished pouring the glass and tried to pull back, I spoke again.

“If it’s not too much trouble, I’d like Team Leader-nim to transfer it to me directly from your mouth.”

“Gasp!”

I said, giving her a mischievous smile.

At my excessive demand, Juyoung glared at me as if she was about to splash wine on me.

But.

“What’s wrong, dear? Just do it. It’s not a big deal, is it?”

In this situation, Minchul was on my side.

Kang Juyoung showed signs of resistance, but Minchul was completely at ‘free pass’ level.

It’s good for me, though.

“…Sigh.”

With her husband also joining in, Juyoung sighed as if she had no choice.

“…Is this just this once?”

Grumbling disapprovingly, Juyoung took a mouthful of red wine and slowly pressed her trembling lips, filled with shame, against mine.

Instinctively, she felt desperately that this situation was wrong, yet.

The effect of the suggestion was suppressing even her pride and anger, making her obey me.

“A soft kiss… a wet slurp… a low hum…”

Soft and pliant lips touched mine.

Through the slightly parted gap, her tongue entered, intertwined with mine, and passed the wine.

A strange taste, a mixture of the wine’s sweetness and her saliva.

It was even more intense than the kiss we shared on the emergency staircase.

I held Juyoung’s nape and kissed her even more deeply, exploring the inside of her mouth.

She seemed to resist for a moment, but then helplessly accepted my kiss.

“Haha, it’s good to see such a special relationship between a superior and a subordinate. With such good teamwork, it’s no wonder the project was so successfully led.”

Minchul, seeing this blatant and lewd scene right before his eyes, merely continued to chuckle and interpret the situation positively.

However, for a fleeting moment, his brow furrowed so subtly it was almost imperceptible.

So, he does react after all, it seems.

Even so, such a reaction only served to heighten this stimulating situation.

“Pant. Pant.”

When the short but intense kiss ended, Juyoung quickly pulled away from me, gasping for breath.

Her flushed face and slightly swollen lips spoke volumes about how passionate the act had just been.

Reflecting on Juyoung’s reaction and the lingering impression on her lips, I posed an even bolder and more blatant question.

“From what I see, you two seem to have a really good relationship. If it’s not too rude to ask… is your conjugal relationship still passionate?”

At my direct question, Juyoung’s face turned even paler than before.

Minchul also cleared his throat, seemingly flustered for a moment, but soon replied with a good-natured laugh.

Even this seemed like a playful joke between close acquaintances to him, under the influence of the suggestion.

“Does it look that way? Well, honestly, our passionate days are long past.”

He gave an awkward laugh and cast a glance at Juyoung, as if seeking her agreement.

Juyoung, however, bit her lips repeatedly instead of answering and lowered her head.

“The truth is, for the past few years, we’ve pretty much been sleeping in separate rooms.”

Minchul let out a deep sigh, revealing his marital secret with surprising candor.

I already knew they were sexless through the status window, but hearing it directly from the husband himself felt strangely different.

“As you know, my work hasn’t been going well for a long time, so my relationship with my wife has become distant. I’ve also done many bad things due to my inadequacy.”

At Minchul’s confession, Juyoung also slumped her shoulders as if recalling the difficult times.

“So, tonight’s dinner was, in a way, also a chance to resolve to make a fresh start and try to mend my relationship with my wife…”

“I see…”

I put on a genuinely regretful expression.

To have such a beautiful wife right next to him, and not be able to properly use his lower half for several years.

As a man, it truly couldn’t be anything but regrettable.

“So, actually, tonight, depending on the mood, I was hoping to… well, have some intimate time with my wife for the first time in a while…”

“Minchul! Wait, that kind of talk…”

As he trailed off, blushing, Juyoung frantically cut him off.

Hmm, I see.

Judging by her reaction, it seems her husband hadn’t specifically discussed it, but Juyoung had somewhat anticipated it.

“Ahem. It seems the alcohol is making me say all sorts of things. Haha.”

Not missing the timing, I applied the suggestion to both of them via the app and opened my mouth.

“Then, I have a suggestion I’d like to make to both of you. Would you care to hear it?”

“A suggestion?”

At my words, Minchul looked at me with eyes filled with pure bewilderment.

Juyoung looked at me with eyes filled with unease.

“If both of you are comfortable with it, tonight I’d like to teach you how to properly satisfy your wife.”

At my sudden and, logically, completely incomprehensible words, Juyoung and Minchul simultaneously tilted their heads and looked at me.

“How to… satisfy her?”

Minchul repeated the question.

His eyes held an undeniable curiosity.

“Well, it’s not really something to boast about, but as you can see, I have quite extensive dating experience.”

At my words, Juyoung’s face flushed brightly, as if she understood what I was implying.

“Assistant Manager Lee, what are you suddenly talking about?”

Juyoung whispered and argued in a low voice, but I paid no mind and continued speaking.

“If you haven’t been intimate for a while, sir, you might have lost your touch a bit, don’t you think?”

“Yes… well… that might be true.”

Minchul replied in a dazed tone, as if enchanted by my words.

His eyes subtly wavered.

“For a husband like you, I believe I can impart some special know-how. Consider it my small repayment for the delicious dinner tonight… What do you say?”

If he were in his right mind, he’d immediately be treated like a lunatic and reported to the police.

Or he’d be punched by a furious husband and thrown onto the street; it was such preposterous nonsense that nothing would be strange.

However, Minchul, whose basic ethics and common sense had been completely twisted by the powerful effects of hypnosis…

“I-I see. If Assistant Manager Lee-nim says so much…”

He swallowed hard and, absurdly, acquiesced to my suggestion.

“To be honest, I’ve been constantly uneasy deep down. I wasn’t confident whether I could satisfy my wife or not.”

Bingo.

“What do you think, Team Leader-nim?”

My gaze turned to Juyoung.

“I-I mean, no matter what, with someone other than my husband, it’s a bit…”

Juyoung’s face still held deep hesitation and confusion.

She must have been desperately resisting with her last remaining bit of rationality.

“It’s fine, Team Leader-nim. This time, it’s solely for the purpose of education and demonstration.”

Even so, it would be a thread of rationality, not even a strand.

“Since it’s not an act with genuine feelings, this isn’t infidelity. It’s more like a drunken happening, like last Friday night. Isn’t that right?”

“Ah, ah.”

As I whispered, digging into her weakness, her pupils seemed to spin like she was hypnotized.

The suggestions I’d placed on her must have been clashing and mixing, making it difficult even to judge right from wrong.

“Th-that’s right… If Assistant Manager Lee says so much… well… there shouldn’t be… a problem…”

Juyoung, who had acquiesced to my suggestion in a dazed tone, then glared at me with sharp eyes as if she hadn’t just agreed.

“However, if it’s clumsy or I don’t like it, I’ll stop immediately, so be aware of that.”

Despite her sharp retort, her voice trembled.

Because she herself would know best that it couldn’t be clumsy.

I clapped my hands with satisfaction and stood up.

“Alright, shall we go to the bedroom right now? Both of you, you definitely won’t regret it.”

At my suggestion, Juyoung and Minchul also slowly rose from their seats as if entranced.

I approached the standing Juyoung, gently wrapped my arm around her waist, and moved towards the inner door, presumably the couple’s bedroom.

At my audacious actions, Juyoung showed signs of embarrassment but obediently surrendered her body without resistance.

And behind us, Minchul silently followed, without any suspicion.

Thinking about the real party that was about to begin, my lower half swelled as if enraged.
