… … … … …

“Where are they? Those gloves. Show them to me quickly.”

The moment Taeyang entered the department store, she asked. There was no patience in her voice.

“Oh, yes. This way.”

Feeling the overwhelming pressure from her, I dragged her to the gift corner in a hurry.

“Where were they… … Oh, here they are. These are the gloves.”

Among the numerous products, I found the leather gloves I was thinking of buying and showed them to Taeyang.

“Look at this. It’s pretty, isn’t it? Isn’t this okay?

The design is nice and I think it would suit President Haneul well.

The price is around 700,000 won, so it is a bit burdensome, but I can somehow cover it with the money I saved… … .”

The sun looked at the gloves closely. Her sharp eyes scanned the gloves in every detail. Then, suddenly, she snatched the gloves from my hand.

“I think you’re buying this for me.”

“Huh?! What the heck… … .”

Before I could finish my sentence, Sun-nim strode over to where the more expensive gifts were gathered. Her long, white legs moved gracefully yet quickly.

“Wait a minute, Sun-nim! I was going to give that to the Sky President――”

I hurriedly followed her and protested, but it seemed like she couldn’t hear me.

I barely caught up with her, but she was already standing in front of the display case, looking at the expensive items. Her golden eyes sparkled as she scanned the items on display, and eventually her long white fingers pointed to one item.

“Do this. Give this to your boss.”

I looked at the object her fingertip was pointing at and my eyes widened. It was a luxury bag worth over ten million won. The bag sparkled inside the glass display case, shining like a star.

“Ha, but this is too expensive! I can’t afford this――”

I stammered and tried to change the situation somehow. At that moment, the sun cut me off and pulled out a card with a flowing motion. The black card with the face of an ancient Roman soldier on it looked much more luxurious than a regular credit card.

“Okay, I’ll buy it for you. Give this to that woman who calls herself the ‘boss’.”

Her tone was calm, as if she was telling me something that had already been decided. Standing before her gaze as she held out her card and looked at me, I felt as if I was incredibly small compared to her.

“But, but… … Isn’t this bag too much? The boss might misunderstand… … .”

It was the final objection, but Sun-nim laughed it off with a ferocious smile. Her laughter seemed to split the air around her.

“Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding? This gift shows how much you value that boss.”

In the end, I had no choice but to stand there, not knowing what to do. The sun left me alone and called his staff to buy me a bag and leather gloves.

… … … … …

As I left the department store, my head was filled with complicated thoughts. Taeyang’s actions were so sudden and difficult to understand.

My hands were shaking slightly as I held the luxury shopping bag. It felt unrealistic to think about the value of the bag inside.

Only after I got back into her sports car did I take a deep breath. Sitting next to me, Taeyang still had a satisfied expression on her face. Her blond hair sparkled in the sunlight, making her look even more dazzling.

“That, Mr. Sun… … ? Thank you very much. But I don’t know if I can accept such an expensive gift.”

She answered with a light laugh.

“What are you going to do with that? It’s nothing to me. And you want to make a good impression on your boss, right?”

Listening to her words, I was lost in thought. Certainly, Mr. Taeyang seemed to be extremely rich. Maybe even richer than Ms. Seo-ah.

Her car, her clothes, and even the black card she just saw. Everything seemed like a world away from ordinary people. To her, this amount of money might not be a big deal.

‘Yes. This is just an act of kindness from the Sun. And if you give such a luxurious gift to the Sky President, he will really like it.’

Such thoughts filled my mind. This bag was so expensive that I couldn’t buy it even if I saved up for a whole year. How surprised and happy would the Heavenly President be if he received this?

I thought about President Sky’s reaction in my mind. Her surprised expression, her joyful smile, and her warm eyes looking at me. Just the thought of it made my heart swell.

“I think the boss would really like this. He’d probably be surprised.”

The sun smiled meaningfully. An unknown emotion passed through her eyes.

“Yeah. You’ll like it. Or you might react in an unexpected way.”

I nodded at her words. If it’s such a luxurious designer bag, she might like it more than I thought.

As the car started moving, I carefully placed the shopping bag containing my bags on my lap.

“Thank you so much. I don’t know how to repay such a great gift. What can I do for you?”

The sun glanced at me from behind the steering wheel. A smile appeared on her lips. There was something about that smile that seemed dangerous, yet also captivating.

“Thank you so much? Then I should pay for the bag.”

“Huh? How much is the bag?”

I asked back in confusion. Suddenly, I broke out in a cold sweat. How on earth could I ask for the price of a bag that cost over ten million won?

“Um, that… … do I have to pay the money back?”

“Let’s play together.”

The sun cut me off with a single stroke. There was amusement in her voice.

“Let’s have fun until this body gets tired. Then I’ll pay for the bag.”

I was speechless at her words. She was really difficult to deal with, making sudden demands without any warning.

“Ah, that’s… … I don’t know. Can’t I just go home… … ?”

“I don’t like it? I’ll go somewhere more fun.”

It was only then that I realized that the direction she was driving was strange. This was not the road to Taeyang’s apartment. We were leaving the city and entering an increasingly unfamiliar landscape.

As I looked out the window at the scenery passing by, a sense of uneasiness began to creep up on me. The high-rise buildings were gradually receding, and suburban areas began to appear. This road was heading to a place I had no idea about.

“Where are you going?”

“Don’t worry, kid. Is this body going to eat you?

… … Oh, by the way, can that kind of thing be likened to eating something?

Well, anyway, nothing will harm you. I guarantee that.”

The car continued to drive toward an unknown destination. The engine noise grew louder and the speedometer needle tilted to the right.

I could only look at the sun with an anxious heart. The only good thing was that the fierce anger that I had seen on her face while shopping had disappeared, and the empty space was filled with pleasant excitement and anticipation.

“Ugh… … .”

“Are you still that reluctant? You said thank you for buying me the bag? Was that just an empty promise?

… … Okay, okay. Then let’s decide on a bet.”

“A bet? What kind of… … .”

“Give me your phone.”

“Yes?”

“Please give me your phone.”

As I hesitantly handed her the phone, she did something I never expected.

She immediately pushed my handed-to her between her breasts. The amazingly voluptuous valley of her breasts beneath her white, tight-fitting top swallowed my phone completely.

She simultaneously drove the car with one hand and hid her cell phone between her breasts with the other, then glanced at me with a wistful smile.

“Okay, take it. Then I’ll turn the car around and drop you off in front of your house. I can’t resist because I’m driving. There’s plenty of time until we get there, so take it if you want. If you have the courage.”

The sun said playfully. Her eyes were filled with a strange pleasure.

On the other hand, I could see my face turning red without even looking in the mirror. I didn’t know what to do about her provocative behavior. The end of the cell phone, faintly visible between her breasts, caught my eye.

“Mr. Sun, if you do that… …then… … .”

I stuttered without realizing it. My palms were sweaty. I didn’t even have the courage to look at her properly.

“Why? Are you embarrassed?”

She said with a smile, her voice holding a strange note of provocation.

“Am I okay? Or… …is this not enough? Do you want something more stimulating?”

The car kept going, and I was just left with no idea what to do. The car seemed to be filled with the sweet scent of the sun, and her presence overwhelmed me.

I wanted to get out of this situation, but I felt myself being drawn to her charm without knowing it. I hung my head and thought about what to do.
