The finger penetrating from behind extended and thickened. With one hand, he wet my buttocks on both sides and pulled the twitching entrance sideways. He gathered two fingers and inserted them into the open creases as if peering inside. He spread them wide as if examining the interior. Numerous fingers inside my body moved independently, making wet squelching sounds, and I couldn’t breathe properly.
“Do you like it this much? This erect at the front?”
“Ah!”
My hardened member was held in his hand. He firmly rubbed the protruding glans with his firm thumb, encircled it with his hand, and tugged it a few times. Just before the sharp climax was about to explode, his hand withdrew. I cowered like a malfunctioning machine, trembling. My lips felt parched from thirst.
The finger inserted behind teasingly pressed against the inner entrance. The air I breathed felt stale and scarce due to rapid breathing. Whether what I was about to say by opening my mouth was a plea or not, the words on my tongue were forgotten as soon as I opened my eyes.
Han Team Leader holding my member had his slightly parted lips at the tip. I felt the warmth, a gentle pressure, and then it released. Facing each other between my legs, he spoke with an indifferent tone.
“I don’t know what I’m rewarding you for doing well.”
“Team leader, huh!”
“There’s no need to ask for permission before releasing today.”
With a wet sound, my member was completely sucked into his mouth. Simultaneously, the finger penetrating into my body played with the walls of my abdomen as if building a wall. As if a switch had been pressed, my body convulsed into ecstasy. An unrestrained sob escaped.
While wiping his lips soaked in white liquid, he extended his tongue between the wet buttock clefts. He said with a satisfied voice, “Yes, cry like that.”
Without giving the fingers any rest, they relentlessly delved into the sensitized entrance. It was a violent insertion. With each deep penetration, he sucked and licked the red inner walls that followed. He pushed the firmly erected tongue into the wide entrance and explored the inside. The heat swept over me, breaking down resistance and passing through ruthlessly. It felt like my heart kept dropping from a high place.
“Isn’t it unsatisfactory with just fingers? Right now, I can insert my cock and give you a good time. Wouldn’t that be better? Here.”
He pulled the inserted fingers to both sides. The entrance widened smoothly. After leisurely licking the tightened folds, he sharpened his nails on the thin membrane.
“Wouldn’t it be good if I could tear it all up here?”
“That’s, ah- ah, haah- haah, ah!”
The fingers that were gently teasing suddenly thrust deep. The swollen part easily caught on the fingers. He tapped mercilessly, and I twisted my body while crying out. My vision darkened and then returned to white.
He grabbed my convulsing body and gently kissed the widened entrance. Sucking and kissing alternated. The fingers inside began to move faster. The lips, raised from the perineum, met the glans again. As he enveloped my cock and sucked forcefully, a ringing noise echoed in my ears. Nothing could be seen or heard.
When I regained consciousness, Han Team Leader was looking down at me while wiping his wet fingers with tissue. As I tried to sit up, he reached out to stop me.
“You need to stay still because I have to release your hands.”
My body didn’t respond as if it were powerless, even though it wasn’t soaked in moisture. So, I lay quietly, blinking my eyes, waiting for him to untie the knot of the tie. The tight knot, which seemed like it wouldn’t loosen again, easily slid down when he touched it. The freed wrists felt sore and stinging. My arms felt numb and painful. Looking down, there were sporadic red marks left behind.
Examining the bound traces, he said as if it were nothing unusual.
“Go home, apply some ointment, and don’t roll up your shirt sleeves when you see others for a day or two. Be careful even when washing your hands.”
“…Team leader.”
“What?”
I called him and closed my mouth. I swallowed the words under my tongue and lowered my head. Han Team Leader, without questioning, roughly grabbed the crumpled tie, stood up, and, as if changing his mind, slowly sat back on the edge of the bed.
My mind was hazy, as if sleep would come. I might have actually fallen asleep. Slowly blinking, my blurry vision cleared. His back came into view. Beyond the window, the city lights were gradually brightening the darkness like a sea.
“Lee Seodan.”
Suddenly, he called me. Without leaving the room, without leaving me alone. The neatly arranged back of his shirt suddenly appeared wrinkled. The tie he held in his hand was the same.
It might have been an auditory hallucination. There was no movement in the visible back, and the next words didn’t follow. Waiting, I closed my heavy eyelids. The wet eyelashes stuck to my cheek, resisting falling off. With strained eyes, I blurredly followed the straight line of his back.
He never turned to look at me, and I was sucked into a heavy sleep like sinking into a swamp. I could never figure out what he was trying to say.
Entering the meeting room on Thursday morning, a modified schedule was marked with a red marker on the whiteboard. Looking at the exclamation point, his business trip scheduled for next Monday was rescheduled to Friday. It was an unusual emergency.
“So it’s tomorrow?”
Deputy Kwon tried to tear his hair out.
“Are we all going to stay overnight?”
“If Friday and Monday are the same, why not just tell us to work on the weekend? Who said this company works five days a week? What do you think, Team Leader?”
“He said he would handle what needs to be done before the business trip today and postpone the rest until next week.”

He distributed the folders he brought one by one. Supervisor Kim, who had been complaining, quickly read it and put it down. Finally, on the folder dropped in front of me, a short list of tasks that could be completed today was written. After reading it twice, I looked up at him beside the whiteboard. Apparently, Deputy Park also made a groaning sound, thinking the same thing. Except for this, the remaining tasks were…
“I’ll take care of the remaining tasks.”
He replied casually as he turned the marker leisurely.
“At times like this, there’s a reason to read it backward because there’s a person in charge. If you can make sure to complete what’s written there by today, that would be sufficient.”
“But still…”
“Since there’s no time to argue, we’ll skip the meeting. We’ll handle today’s schedule when we come back next week. We’ll announce tomorrow’s tasks by tomorrow morning, and starting from Monday, we’ll modify the schedules and send them individually by email. If you have any questions, stay; otherwise, go and do your work.”
Because it seemed like I might be able to leave work today if I strained my eyes at the screen until they shattered, I quickly grabbed my folder without hesitation. Passing by Assistant Deputy Park, who was organizing his bag, as I was about to step out, Han Team Leader turned his head.
“Lee Seodan, wait a moment. Let’s go to the document room.”
“Don’t take it out on the youngest, Team Leader.”
“How do you see me?”
Still, before going back, seeing Deputy Park giving me a worried glance, it seemed he had a certain perspective on him. I continued reading the documents alone until the team members returned to their desks one by one. Tension pulled at my stomach. Why did he call me? What did I do wrong? Even after racking my brain, nothing came to mind.
“Lee Seodan.”
Finally, after the last team member hugged the documents and returned, Han Team Leader gestured for me to go into the document room, closing the door firmly behind me. It felt like the oxygen was suddenly sucked out, making it hard to breathe. I reluctantly sat down in my usual spot. Han Team Leader sat on the table in the document room and suddenly asked,
“Do you have any plans for dinner tonight?”
“…Yes?”
Confused, I handed him the documents he gave me.
“I need you to handle this.”
“I know that.”
Looking closely, Han Team Leader’s face was sharp with accumulated fatigue. Uncomfortable with his piercing gaze, I kept my mouth shut.
“I’m asking if you have plans after you’re done for the night.”
“…No, I don’t.”
Given the situation, there seems to be no choice but to cancel. Han Team Leader furrowed his brow, turned his body towards me while sitting at the table, and it felt like our knees might touch if he moved. I kept my gaze down, frozen in place.
“I won’t be available on Saturday due to a business trip,” he explained in a low, locked voice. I could feel his gaze touching my cheek.
“Ah…,” it dawned on me only then. I see, the business trip was rescheduled, causing this issue. If he’s leaving tomorrow, naturally, he wouldn’t be available on Saturday.
“So…,” I started to say.
“Let’s do it today,” he asserted abruptly. I caught my breath.
“Why? Don’t you like it?” Without realizing it, I lifted my eyes and met his gaze. Something dark was simmering beneath his black eyes. Instinctively, my body tensed, and my heart started beating faster.
“Because it seems like you might be tired, Team Leader…,” I stammered.
“Since when did Lee Seodan worry about me?” He leaned in with an expressionless face. His warm breath touched my cheek. I instinctively stepped back, unsure where to look.
“But still, you have a business trip tomorrow morning…,” I tried to explain.
“I have a business trip tomorrow morning, so let’s resolve it now, shall we?” He said indifferently, pushing me without any intention of waiting.
“So, is it okay or not okay?”
“Suddenly on the same day like this…,” I began.
“It’s better for Lee Seodan like this.”
“What?” I raised my eyes. Han Team Leader’s mouth curled slightly. As he hid the fierce eyes behind lowered eyelids, his face seemed unexpectedly gentle.
“Isn’t it better to give sudden notice considering your personality? It’s better than lingering until Saturday, I think.”
“Since when have you been concerned about me, Team Leader?”
His words were sharp. He raised his eyebrows slowly without changing his expression. Just that made me discreetly retract my protruding claws. It was a nerve-wracking situation.
“Why should you worry about me, Lee Seodan?”
“…I apologize.”
“Lately, it seems all I do is worry about you, Lee Seodan.”
He stretched lazily, yawning. Staring at his face in a daze, I eventually lowered my gaze. I really didn’t want to be dragged to the hotel today, but the truth was he didn’t look well. Biting my inner lip, I looked down at the table, then finally lifted my head.
“I understand.”
“Finish by 9 o’clock.”
“…Yes?”
“I plan to leave here at 9, so wrap up by then.”
“Team Leader, that’s just impossible…”
“If I say to do it, you do it.”
He looked down at me and gave a brief smile. Faced with such a resolute decision, I opened my mouth in surprise but quickly gave up. It was better to focus on work at a time like this. As I stood up without a word, he kindly opened the door for me. I hurriedly walked past him, hunching my shoulders. My heart was pounding like a rabbit, fearing that even the slightest noise might reach him.
As I walked to my seat, I pondered. By the way, when and how would I…
I thought it might happen, but I had no time to even take a sip of water. Skipping lunch and dinner, he worked without taking his eyes off the screen, grabbing a sandwich. Deputy Park, who was next to me, was supportive enough to pat my shoulders as if steam would come out of my ears.
The workload given by Han Team Leader was exquisite, straddling the borderline between almost impossible and possible. Complaining that 9 o’clock was an unreasonable demand wasn’t an option, and relaxing for just five minutes was also out of the question. In any case, it wasn’t me but him going on a business trip tomorrow, and since he said 9 o’clock, I had to adjust to his schedule.
Exhausted from work, every time I lifted my head for a moment of respite, the heavy realization that I had to see him at the hotel tonight pressed down on my head like a burden. Whenever I immersed myself in work again as if trying to escape, I forgot about it. It felt like my heart sank with a thud every time I remembered. Like a dog running a short-distance race all day, panting heavily, I sprinted at full speed. Finally, I clicked the last save button at eight fifty. I had ten minutes to spare.
“You really did it.”
A voice came from above my head. I exhaled, shrinking my neck like a turtle. When I rolled my eyes up, Han Team Leader’s face was peering through the screen beyond my shoulder.
“Send it to my email. Let’s go.”
“Now?”
“Then when, tomorrow?”
He was already wearing a coat. I attached the file to the email, belatedly realizing the harsh reality. There was no time left to prepare. Should I stop by the pharmacy on the way and ask for something?
Following him to the underground parking lot, I planned to mention it at a suitable time until we got into the Audi I had seen last time. But as the car started moving, my tongue went numb. The sound of my heart was too loud, almost dizzying. Biting my dry lips, I absentmindedly stared out the window. Every time I managed to gather my thoughts and turn my gaze, he was staring straight ahead with a stern expression. I didn’t know how to break through his stubborn and firm silence.
True to his personality, his driving was swift and safe, without missing a single traffic signal. The hand loosely gripping the steering wheel seemed to move very little, yet the trajectory of the car changing lanes was flawlessly beautiful. Tense from head to toe, if I hadn’t been so focused, I might have dozed off due to the smooth ride.
By the time we entered the hotel parking lot, my pent-up emotions reached their peak. My stomach churned with tension. Suppressing the urge to fidget, I spoke softly, almost squeezing the words out.
“Team Leader…”
“What?”
We were descending to the underground parking lot. When he turned his head towards me, the yellow light carved sharp shadows on his cheek. I touched my knee with sweaty palms.
“If you called, you should have said something.”
“I…”
At that moment, he raised his hand to stop me and opened the window. While receiving the parking ticket from the attendant, I closed and opened my heavy eyelids. My throat was so tight that words wouldn’t come out easily.
After finishing the reverse parking, he finally turned to look at me. A deep, dark silence settled in the spot where the engine had been turned off. I wanted to disappear just like this, staring down at my toes.
“What?” he asked succinctly.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
“I… I didn’t have time.”
I blurted it out as if vomiting, looking at the parking lot beyond the windshield. My cheeks were burning hot enough to be visible even in the darkness.
“What preparation?”
“Behind…”
“…Ah.”
He reacted belatedly. Laughter escaped from him.
“Did you whimper like a constipated puppy all this time just to say that?”
“…”
“Look at me. Is it that embarrassing?”
Gripping my chin, Han Team Leader forcibly turned my resisting head. As our eyes met in the dim darkness, my face turned not just reddish but so hot with embarrassment that my eye area felt warm. He chuckled as if finding my embarrassment amusing.
“Oh, dear.”
“I really, was planning to finish early and go to the pharmacy…”
It was unfair. The deadline I set in my head was actually eight forty. There was a pharmacy near the company. Right next to the convenience store. I had planned to finish and rush there, then go to the company restroom… Feeling unjust, the anxiety that had been chasing me all day welled up in my eyes.
“You really never have a day without tears. Shh.”
“If you hadn’t told me to leave at eight fifty…”
“I get it. Since I got it, stop crying.”
When my sobbing mixed with laughter reached his ears, he burst into laughter. He looked down at me as if enjoying the sight of my crying face, prompting me to lift my chin. I closed my eyes and bit my trembling lips. Truly, there wasn’t a single day I didn’t cry. I felt pathetic to the point where I had nothing to say.
The car was so quiet that even the sound of my unsteady breath swallowing could be heard. My shoulders intermittently twitched, and a soft touch brushed against the tightly closed eye area.
“You don’t have to prepare.”
A light smile settled on the corner of the eyelids on the opposite side. The delicate sensation sent a tingling feeling to my toes. I breathed barely through parted lips. With gentle lips, he caressed both sides of my eyes and spoke again.
“If you had asked earlier, I would have told you.”
“…Still, how…”
Since the words had come out, there was no turning back. I had no choice but to handle it while he was outside. Just as I was about to lower my breath and make the request, his face was within touching distance. No, it actually touched. It lightly brushed my nose.
“We came to have dinner.”
“…What?”
“We planned to eat last week, but you turned me down, Lee Seodan. The hotel’s Japanese restaurant is good. Do you like sushi?”
“…”
“They only take orders until 9:30. The time is a bit tight, but I made a reservation, so if we go up now, it should be fine.”
He showed me a wristwatch on his left hand. The silver hand pointed to twenty-five minutes. I tried to gather my dizzy thoughts and closed my lips. No, he said to finish work by nine… If I said I didn’t need to eat, I wanted to delay as much work as possible after that, and the aftermath of skipping the meal began to be felt with a sense of emptiness. Eating was fine, but if I were to go straight to the bed afterward… As if reading the end of that thought, he casually said,
“After eating, I’ll take Lee Seodan home.”
“…Then, what about you, Team Leader?”
“I’ll go back to the office and prepare for the business trip until morning.”
A faint annoyance crossed his neat face, as if questioning why I was asking such an obvious thing. In the blink of an eye, he leaned towards me. Click, the seatbelt unbuckled, and slowly, like a snake, he moved his body across mine.
“Let’s go up. It’s getting late.”
“…Did you bring me to the hotel just to have dinner?”
