As I desperately pressed my buttocks down, he quietly watched me. He kept holding onto my wrist, which kept moving towards my buttocks, and roughly teased the entrance with his thumb, causing water to drip. Even the teasing fingers that occasionally delved inside felt hot.
“Ah, ha, ah… Ugh…”
I felt no sensation in my body. While I gripped the cushion and lifted my body, he cleanly remarked as he slid his fingers inside.
“It’s all melted now.”
“Ugh…”
It still felt like there was something foreign inside. I shook my head. Then, he straightened his fingers and pushed my finger into my hole.
“Ugh!”
“See, it’s gone.”
“Ugh, gone… Ah, ugh!”
After repeating the piston-like movements with my fingers several times, he let go of my wrist. His fingers came down and brushed past my eye area.
“Why are you crying?”
“It’s still… too cold…”
“How should I help you then?”
Both his voice and expression were gentle. Looking up at the devilish man even in the bright daylight, I resigned myself.
“Please… Team Leader, do something…”
The corners of his mouth were visible.
“I know what to do.”
Malicious eyes. He kissed me on my wet eyelids and made me lie down properly again. He caressed my warm buttocks a few times and spread them apart. By the time even the air touching the cold folds felt warm, I felt the hot and wet sensation.
“Ugh…!”
I tried to get up, but his hands were already on my waist. My body was pulled back, and my buttocks were lifted onto his knees. Holding onto my hips, he lowered his head between my buttocks again. His warm tongue plunged into the cold hole in a single breath.
“Ah, this is too… Team Leader, please…”
While my body still felt numb and cold, my cheeks and ears turned red as if they were about to burst. My strength drained, and my stomach trembled.
It was still midday, with the curtains drawn. In the living room, not even on a bed but on a window seat with soft cushions and a bookshelf, I felt dizzy with discomfort while being dominated by him.
Yet, my body desperately wanted to accept his deep tongue more intensely. He raised my buttocks as if he would lick away the cold completely. With wet sounds, he withdrew his tongue and adjusted my posture again.
“Spread it wider.”
His voice was husky.
“Ugh, ah…”
Smack, he kissed above the closed entrance. Forgetting shame, I reached back and spread my buttocks. Breathing heavily, I pressed my cheek against the cushion.
“Ugh, ugh… Ugh, ugh…”
With wet sounds, his tongue roamed inside. It traced along the edge of the entrance with the tip of his tongue, then plunged inside as if inserting it into a throbbing hole. His hot lips alternately kissed and sucked the folds, as if pulling out the essence.
Completely losing my mind, I moaned while surrendering my body to him.
My body turned into a mess of heat and saliva as if it had melted. Then, he laid me on my side, lifted one leg onto his shoulder, and slowly inserted it.
“Ugh, ha…”
“Don’t twist your body.”
He held onto my waist. As my body was held still, sweet sensations flooded in like honey filling my belly at the slow and gentle thrusts.
“Ah, ugh- too…”
“Your voice is trembling now.”

He kissed my swollen lips as if finding it amusing. I licked his lips with the tongue that had been cold just a moment ago. His warm palms caressing my chest and waist, and his tender genitals moving gently behind, were affectionate. It was like a leisurely midday sex in a travel destination. It was slow, cozy, and lasted so long that I felt reluctant for time to pass.

“Just sleep.”
Han Team Leader, who seemed to find it amusing, said to me, who repeatedly nodded off like a sick chicken on the seat next to him.
“I’ll wake you up when we arrive at the airport.”
“No, I’m awake now.”
The car smoothly stopped at a signal. Han Team Leader reached out and reclined my seat. I slept like a log for about forty minutes until we reached the airport.
The second experience of the airport departure process was much smoother than the first. The airport with Han Team Leader was completely different from the one without him. There was no need to worry about getting lost or feeling anxious about the procedures.
After passing through immigration with him, I saw a shop selling souvenirs like T-shirts and keychains, and my drowsiness disappeared. Han Team Leader, with his arms crossed, followed me wherever I went, occasionally touching the material of a tie with his fingers.
“What are you going to use that for?”
I teased him while playing with a round keychain engraved with ‘LA.’
“I have to spend the exchanged money anyway.”
“Then why not buy something to eat?”
“Once you eat it, it’s gone, right? Oh, this… we went there yesterday, right?”
In the compartment where postcards were arranged, there was a Ferris wheel from the beach we visited yesterday.
I collected different versions of the same scene for day, night, and sunset. Han Team Leader seemed to want to say something but held back.
“Is this chocolate any good?”
There were boxes of packaged chocolates on the wall next to him, with various flavors and ‘LA’ written prominently on them. Han Team Leader, leaning against the wall, replied.
“I don’t know, I haven’t tried them.”
“Then…”
I started picking out chocolates with safe, neutral flavors. One, two, three, four, and two more. Meanwhile, Han Team Leader, who had disappeared somewhere, returned with a plastic basket and raised his eyebrows when he saw the number of chocolate boxes I had hugged.
“You’re going to buy all of them?”
“I’m giving them as gifts. For our team, and Supervisor Kim and Deputy Park…”
“…Okay.”
“Aren’t you going to buy anything, Team Leader?”
“I’m good. Have you chosen everything?”
I hesitated but ended up putting even a magnet for the refrigerator in the basket and went to the cashier. The chosen souvenirs were neatly packed into a stiff bag.
Han Team Leader, who said he wouldn’t buy anything, stood behind me in line and placed something on the counter. The clerk scanned the barcode, so I couldn’t see what it was.
“What did you buy?”
I asked as we left the store, and instead of answering, Han Team Leader dropped something into my bag. I reached in and found something small and soft in my hand. It was a Mickey Mouse keychain small enough to fit in the palm of my hand.
“Carry it with you.”
He said with an indifferent face. I struggled to keep my mouth from smiling. Laughing here would undoubtedly invite revenge later when I let my guard down.
“Since you can get it in Korea too, it should be fine.”
Leading me to the correct aisle while holding my arm, which was preoccupied with putting dolls into my bag, he said,
“Are you planning to advertise that you came all the way here to see me?”
“Ah, right.”
Come to think of it, it was true.
At that time, both of us had completely forgotten about the chocolates I bought as souvenirs for the company people. It was a little later, after returning to Korea and recalling that fact, that I realized Han Team Leader had bought them and distributed the chocolates, causing the whole team to be filled with doubt and anxiety.

The plane landed at Incheon Airport long after the sun had set, in the late night.
Despite sleeping in the cozy and comfortable seats at the front of the plane and eating the proper meals served on real plates, I was reaching the limit of my energy. The car ride back to Seoul, whether due to him feeling the same or out of consideration for me, was quiet.
The temperature during the days I spent away from Korea had plummeted towards autumn. Even the trees, which were soon to be vibrant with fall colors, were dull yellow, and under the pale streetlights, they appeared ashen.
I leaned back in the car, letting my body relax in the familiar sensation of Han Team Leader’s driving, and gazed out at the streetlights passing by. My thoughts wandered without settling in one place for long.
Han Team Leader didn’t show any signs of fatigue. He drove the car smoothly and accurately without needing the navigation.
As we entered Seoul city, even I could vaguely recognize the streets. Soon, we passed by the office building where I would have to go to work in a few hours, and turned onto the familiar road leading to his house.
A tepid feeling of disappointment mixed with relief washed over me as I saw the everyday scenery. Part of me wanted to see my supervisor’s face and get back to the routine as soon as possible, while another part didn’t want to return to normalcy.
Han Team Leader parked the car in the familiar spot in the underground parking lot and turned off the engine. Silence filled the space where the low hum had been. His hand, previously on the gear shift, lightly touched my thigh, and he undid my seatbelt.
“Let’s go up.”
I nodded and opened the door. The air in the parking lot was chilly. Han Team Leader, who had already taken out the suitcases and closed the trunk, offered me one of the suitcases and held my hand with the other. We became a group of two people connected by two bags as we entered the elevator.
I stood aside as Han Team Leader opened the keypad and entered the password. When he turned on the lights, the clean living room and the view beyond the glass were just as I left them three days ago. Come to think of it, I had to explain to him that I had stayed here the whole time, but my thoughts weren’t organized due to fatigue.
“Are you going to take a shower?”
Han Team Leader, coming out of the kitchen, handed me a mug filled with water and said. The water in the mug he handed me was warm. The water I sipped was lukewarm.
“I think I should. I might not have time in the morning…”
Even though I said tomorrow morning, it was only about five hours away. After taking the mug from me, Han Team Leader stood the two suitcases side by side in front of the bedroom and took the empty mug from my hand.
“Wash up and come out, then. Be careful not to slip.”
“Yes.”
I briefly leaned my face against his palm, which lightly touched my cheek. It felt like my eyes were spinning under the bright lights. Han Team Leader chuckled softly, holding my face with his hand.
“Are you very tired?”
“…I slept a lot on the plane, too.”
Under the bright lights, his face was clearly marked with signs of fatigue. Come to think of it, whenever I opened my eyes on the plane, he was either looking at documents on his tablet or watching a boring movie, so he must have not slept properly for more than a day.
I held his hand that touched my cheek.
“I’ll go wash up, Team Leader. You should sleep first.”
“Okay.”
He readily let go of my hand, and I went downstairs to the bathroom. I quickly undressed and washed my tired body with warm water, dozing off intermittently while drying myself. I tied a towel around my waist and put on one of the shirts Han Team Leader had given me in the dressing room.
The living room was lit up but quiet. I glanced around at the suitcases standing side by side and turned off the living room lights. As I climbed the stairs, a faint light from the bedroom leaked through the open door crack.
I closed the door quietly to avoid waking him up and approached the bed. When I pulled the corner of the blanket, his wide back came into view. I cautiously extended my arm and wrapped it around his waist, pressing my body against his. The warmth seeped through the thin fabric of my pajamas.
Resting my head on the space above the pillow he left for me, I pressed one cheek against his firm shoulder. A few strands of hair covering his back fluttered in the gentle breeze with each breath I took. I leaned over and lightly pressed my lips against his shoulder before turning off the bedside lamp.
At that moment, my wrist, which cut across his stomach in the darkness, was grabbed.
“Lee Seodan.”
He called me with a slow voice mixed with breaths.
“I read the card that was in the box carefully.”
“…Yes.”
“And, it seems someone drank water from my kitchen while I was away.”
“……”
“It seems someone slept on my bed.”
I couldn’t tell if he was angry since I couldn’t see his face. It was frustrating that even though I had cleaned so diligently, he noticed. I blinked for a moment.
“…Since you weren’t here, I couldn’t sleep in my own home… I should have asked beforehand, I’m sorry.”
The body that was in contact with me stirred, and the mattress swayed. He lay down on the bed immediately, pulling me onto him. My face touched his cheek as our legs tangled. In the darkness, I could see his black pupils staring at me intently.
“I can’t sleep without you.”
“……”
“Lee Seodan, you should live in my house for the rest of your life.”
It was a voice filled with satisfaction, with no intention of hiding that satisfaction. His arms, buried under the loose shirt, gently stroked my back.
Eating the meals he prepared, riding in the car he drove, and needing him to sleep by my side.
Looking down at his face, I asked softly,
“Am I relying on you too much, Team Leader…? Are you not burdened?”
His slow-blinking eyes appeared.
“After experiencing this much, do you still not know?”
“……”
“It’s actually me who needs Lee Seodan.”
As if my body wasn’t heavy at all, as if my snug body temperature was daring, he pulled me close and kissed my lips with his.
I relaxed and entrusted myself entirely to him. My body, finally relieved after a long flight, nestled entirely in his arms.
***
It was an inefficient choice no matter how you looked at it. Despite knowing that the traffic wouldn’t be congested, I left early and covered the fifteen-minute distance in ten minutes. Under the blue sky, I drove along the road lined with tall trees. I got caught at one traffic light and swiftly passed under the signboards at high speed.
I arrived at the destination with an hour left until the appointed time. After parking the car in the spacious and quiet parking lot, I crossed the crosswalk under the bright sunlight.
As expected, the digital display only showed the scheduled time next to the memorized number. Standing among the bustling crowd, staring at the screen, I waited. Gradually, the indication I had been waiting for appeared next to the number that had risen from the bottom of the list.
Somewhere beyond this building, he was now there.
I sent a brief message under the unread reply on my phone. I tried to check my email while waiting, but the words didn’t register in my mind. Eventually, I checked the messaging app and put the phone back in my pocket.
Three thirty, three fifty. The flow of people coming out through the passage stopped. The ambient chatter around me grew louder. The metal fence was cold.
Finally breaking the long silence, a middle-aged man appeared from the passage, dragging a black suitcase. As a woman next to him waved her hand in greeting, another unfamiliar face appeared at the entrance to the passage.
Many faces passed by one after another, like drops of water gradually turning into a stream. Among them were a lively group of college students, a short-haired Korean woman, and a child with a white face passing by right in front of me.
I checked the clock, the digital display, and my phone in turn. Restlessly standing by the lukewarm railing, I looked away from the screen with an unread message and clenched my phone tightly.
And when I raised my eyes, he was there.
Behind the wall, revealing only his silhouette and standing still, there was his graceful figure. A slightly hesitant step, white fingers tightly grasping the handle of a bright blue suitcase.
While pushing through the crowd and walking through the passage, I continued to search for his face. His small, white face kept turning around without seeing this way. His large eyes scanned the people holding onto the railing as if searching for something.
Closed, delicate lips, a pretty round nose at the tip, and eyes that would turn red quickly when crying.
Under the sunlit glow of the airport’s lively lights, there he was, alive. When our eyes met across the void, the once blurry world became clear. Time seemed to stop as a faint ringing echoed in my ears. His pale and anxious face froze as if seeing something unbelievable. His long eyelashes blinked heavily, and his lips firmly closed.
Ignoring the swaying of the wheeled suitcase, paying no mind to the gazes of countless people, everything faded away as the adorable figure rushed towards me at full speed. Narrowing the seemingly long distance in an instant, he was suddenly right in front of me.
In his black pupils, a youthful sparkle, reflecting the light, shone. I embraced him with open arms, enveloping him with my entire body. His small frame fit perfectly into the emptiness of my arms that had only existed in the air. The familiar warmth, the familiar scent. Finally, I could relax my body’s tension and exhale the breath that had been held for so long.
Crossing the vast distance, bridging the gap of time. Like an answer to the long wait, like the reason for all beginnings and endings.
It was you who came to me.
You are my world.
