“I hope you by no means ever name me like this once more. I, too, clearly go to work like your son, and I should not have such free time to reply these sorts of calls.”

–  Kim Na-Yool!

“All I did was report being overwhelmed by your son as a result of I used to be overwhelmed, and state that I used to be nearly raped as a result of I used to be nearly raped. Not a single factor was made up, so—”

–  How might you report him as not solely a prison however a sexual offender for one thing that didn’t occur!

“I’m hanging up.”

Na-Yool put down her memo on Seung-Jae’s desk as she ended the decision. One more name from the identical quantity got here in, however she hung up and swiftly blocked it. Then, as if to someway relieve her frustration, she walked off.

Even pretending to say howdy to passing colleagues was nerve-racking proper now. She finally stopped when she reached the merchandising machine positioned in a distant nook and stood in a daze.

Come to think about it, she didn’t even have any cash to get a drink. Realizing she had to return to her desk for it, Na-Yool was so irritated that she stared on the merchandising machine for some time, earlier than lastly sinking into the chair subsequent to it. It felt like shortly listening to the girl’s voice was sufficient to empty all her vitality out of her physique. Her useless eyes repeatedly gazed on the wall, then on the display of her telephone, which was turned off.

Who is aware of what number of minutes she sat there. Then, as if possessed, she turned on her cellphone display and pressed the decision button to Si-Jin’s quantity. The decision was rapidly rejected, however Na-Yool was not disillusioned as she checked out her cellphone.

[We’re in the same building, why call?] 2:44 PM

A small smile appeared on Na-Yool’s gloomy face.

[I am in front of the vending machine, but I don’t have any money] 2:44 PM

[You can’t be asking me to bring it to you?] 2:44 PM

Her temper sensitively fluctuated to each small element, a slight disappointment cracked in her expression.

As if he had sensed it, one other message from Si-Jin arrived.

[Wait for me] 2:45 PM

Na-Yool was lastly satisfied of no less than one factor. Si-Jin may placed on an expression of full indifference, however his actions had been all the time the precise reverse. Even when he pretended to not be, in the long run he was a person who all the time compromised for her sake.

It is perhaps frequent within the early days of a relationship anyway, however there isn’t any cause you can’t get pleasure from it now simply because you already know it’ll finish sometime. Na-Yool’s low temper cleared up within the blink of an eye fixed.

Perhaps it was the satisfaction of efficiently bothering the busiest man of the corporate over such a trivial cause as her private laziness. Or possibly it merely was an excuse to see his face.

“…I appear to have allow you to decide up bizarre habits, Ms. Na-Yool.”

A brilliant smile unfold throughout Na-Yool’s face as she seemed up at Si-Jin.

Opposite to the phrases spoken in a businesslike voice, there was not a touch of annoyance on his face trying down at her. Na-Yool accepted the invoice he handed out. Si-Jin had apparently by no means used the corporate’s merchandising machine. It was a 10000-won invoice, and this merchandising machine solely accepts 1000-won ones. However it didn’t matter anyway.

For what it’s value, possibly she actually simply needed to see him.

“So what, you don’t prefer it?”

“No, truly, I’m moderately glad.” Si-Jin frowned, like he himself felt puzzled. Then, as if one thing cleared in his thoughts, he added with a twisted smile, “…Solely by ruining your habits one after the other will you not go to another person.”

“……You’re so brazenly depraved.”

“So what, you don’t prefer it?” Si-Jin threw again the identical query as hers as he gently ran his fingertips beneath her chin. As Na-Yool seemed up at him with out saying a phrase, he lowered his hand from her chin and gently wrapped it round her neck. An odd smile fashioned on his lips. “Me, I’ll do no matter you ask.”

“…Actually?”

“I informed you. The gist is to mess up your habits.”

With him appearing so openly sly, the much less Na-Yool might put up a entrance. She seemed up at him with conflicted eyes. Simply as she lowered them with a sigh, he lifted her face up once more.

“So, what’s happening?”

Si-Jin requested straightforwardly, in a single swift shot. Because it appeared, he had pretended till now to not discover her temper. Her brows furrowed, Na-Yool answered in an odd tone.

“Nothing, I got here to get a drink on the merchandising machine and didn’t have cash.”

“Then what are you ready for?”

Na-Yool shook the 10000-won invoice she was holding.

“This factor solely operates with 1000-won payments.”

“……”

“Mr. President, you will have by no means used the corporate’s merchandising machine, proper?”

“…I don’t often drink this.”

Certain you might be! Na-Yool internally scoffed, not shocked by his ‘I don’t belief any drink until I make them myself’ perspective.

“Yeah, I assume you’d moderately gulp down an entire jar of sugar than drink these.”

“My level precisely.”

“And solely fools would get pleasure from such drinks.”

“Exactly, sure.”

“I drink them on daily basis although?”

“Nicely, everybody has the liberty to decide on.”

A fast change of perspective. Identical to with Seung-Jae and the sushi. Na-Yool smiled frivolously, and Si-Jin gently shook her shoulder and caressed her cheek.

“For instance, you will have the liberty to be a bit extra silly and drink one thing like this on daily basis.”

“If you’re going to change your phrases, no less than say one thing good, Mr. President.”

“Can’t do. You moderately not drink these issues and stay a protracted life.”

Progressively, the caller’s voice was put out of thoughts, as if no name was ever answered. Si-Jin was nonetheless sporting his ordinary blunt face, however Na-Yool seemed up at him with a completely relaxed expression.

He all of a sudden set free a low sigh.

“Wait right here.”

“Why?”

“I’ll convey it to you. 1000 received.”

Would this man even carry round such a factor? Na-Yool shook her head.

“Overlook it, I’ll move on the drink and hold the ten,000 received invoice.”

“Good concept.”

She anticipated Si-Jin to no less than nag her for slyly stealing his cash, and he as an alternative appeared moderately pleased with her. She felt like a well-trained pet. Though one may surprise what pet would extort folks’s cash this fashion. Na-Yool was puzzedly taking a look at Si-Jin casting his gaze far past the hallway resulting in the workplace, when he all of a sudden lowered his head. The following second, their lips met.

“Not right here… it’s not correct…”

“You’ve accomplished worse.”

“……”

It was an irrefutable fact. What a wierd factor being in a relationship is… The institution of their courting standing was the one change, and but every part she each day did with him felt anew.

“…A minimum of look ahead to when everybody went house, and in your workplace… What the heck am I saying…”

“I like while you generally crazily let go like this.”

“……”

“And much more that you simply’re a pervert.”

She couldn’t deny it anymore. She couldn’t, so her head remained shamefully down.

“…Nonetheless, I can’t beat you to it, Mr. President.”

“You’re a fantastic feminine too. You might be pleased with it.”

It most probably was too late to really feel skeptical about such a doubtful encouragement. As a substitute, Na-Yool cautiously requested in return:

“……Absolutely that’s not the rationale you want me, is it?”

“If I didn’t such as you within the first place, I might not even care a few lewd girl operating round in panties.”

“I might by no means try this.”

“Ah, however then I might have fired you.”

“Exactly, which is why I might by no means.”

“So, I’m like this as a result of I such as you.”

“……”

This man, since when did these phrases got here out so simply…

“That’s why, even for those who cowl your self from head to toes, I hold getting arduous like a intercourse maniac. As a result of I such as you.”

A transparent, bare self-acknowledgment, ruined by the truth that the pervert appeared moderately pleased with being a intercourse maniac.

Confronted with such self-righteousness, Na-Yool nearly felt like a drama heroine, however the feeling didn’t final.  She squinted her eyes at Si-Jin.

“…Are you certain that is the one trigger?”

“Do you count on I might get a boner anyplace I am going?”

Aren’t you getting arduous just about anytime anyway… Si-Jin frowned at Na-Yool’s suggestive expression.

“Am I a beast?”

Did you not name your self a intercourse maniac earlier? As Na-Yool rolled her eyes in reply, his lips got here down once more. The contact was extra tenacious, nearer to a kiss than the smooch from simply earlier than. Her coronary heart beat jumped, in concern somebody may seem any second on the finish of the hallway and run into this scene.
