“Ah… you’re scary as always, I can’t force you if you don’t want to. Then I guess I’ll have to seduce Room 801.”
Han Jin-seo grabbed the armrest of the chair and stood up. He didn’t even glance at Kwon Young-je as he took his steps.
“Director! Let’s shoot the next scene quickly!”
Kwon Young-je watched the man blend into the staff before getting up. Seeing his hardened face, the marketing team employees cautiously approached him.
He handed them his almost untouched coffee and straightened his disheveled clothes. Kwon Young-je pulled at his cuffs and calmly said,
“Is this the image you wanted?”
“…We’ll edit it well somehow.”
“Director Park.”
“Yes, Executive Director Kwon.”
Director Park, who had been shrinking in the corner, immediately responded to the call and revealed his face.
“You checked Han Jin-seo’s risks in detail before casting him, right?”
“…Well, that’s…”
“If any unfortunate incident occurs, Director Park will have to take responsibility.”
Director Park’s face turned pale as he rolled his eyes around. He glared at the marketing Team leader next to him with his eyes, blaming him. He clearly hadn’t expected Han Jin-seo to be such an immoral person.
“We’ll talk about this again at the company.”
Kwon Young-je turned around after saying that. His pace was so fast that the employees didn’t even have time to greet him. They deeply bowed only to his receding back.
An uncomfortable silence continued all the way to the parking lot. Hui-won was busy chasing after Kwon Young-je’s fast steps. He could only take a breather after opening the back door for him.
As soon as he got into the driver’s seat, an order came from behind.
“Move out immediately.”
“…Yes?”
“You live next door to Han Jin-seo, right? Don’t create any chances to get involved. If you have nowhere to go, book a hotel. I’ll find a place for you to live.”
Hui-won couldn’t answer and just gripped the steering wheel. From what he had seen earlier, Han Jin-seo had been provoking Kwon Young-je. It seemed like they had exchanged a few more words afterward, and judging from Kwon Young-je’s reaction, it probably wasn’t anything good.
He glanced back and saw Executive Director Kwon, who looked as prickly as a thorn. Only when they were trapped in the enclosed car did he feel the unfamiliar Alpha pheromone heavily permeating his body.
“What did Han Jin-seo say?”
Kwon Young-je frowned deeply at Hui-won’s question. He seemed to be refusing the conversation itself. Hui-won bit his lip and continued to observe him for a while longer.
Is he stressed because of the pheromone? Or did he hear something unpleasant? Maybe it’s both.
Hui-won hesitated for a moment, then unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. As he moved to the back seat, he was met with a fierce glare.
As a secretary, the way to appease Kwon Young-je was to just shut up and stay still. But now, Hui-won had another means. He didn’t know if it would work, but he had no choice but to act crazy and give it a try.
“Secretary Kim.”
Hui-won briefly kissed the lips from which the prickly voice was coming. Just a peck—enough to make a ‘pop’ sound.
After planting the kiss, he said with a determined expression.
“He’s originally a crazy bastard. His preferences are weird, and he spouts nonsense well… so it’s better not to engage with him.”
Kwon Young-je burst into laughter as if he was dumbfounded. But that was only for a moment. Soon, he erased the smile and returned to his cold face.
“You seem to know Han Jin-seo well?”
Pop, another sound followed. This time, he kissed him on the cheek. But instead of relieving his anger, it only deepened the wrinkles between Kwon Young-je’s eyebrows.
“What are you doing?”
“…Should I stop?”
Suddenly, a large hand reached out and grabbed Hui-won’s nape. He was pulled in, and their lips met in an instant.
A kiss that resembled a venting of anger began. Hui-won frowned for a moment at the force that sucked so fiercely as if trying to pull out his tongue, but soon he relaxed his stiff body and cupped the other’s cheeks.
He gave his tongue completely as he wanted. As the sticky contact continued, the sweet fragrant olive scent filled the car and suppressed Kwon Young-je’s sharp nerves.
He lifted his face after a long time. Although he had released his tongue, their noses were still touching, and his hot breath, which he was breathing heavily, warmed his philtrum. Kwon Young-je murmured lowly at a distance where their lips were almost touching.
“So, the answer is.”
“To what?”
“I asked if you’re going to keep living in that house.”
He thought his anger had subsided a bit, but the gaze still glaring at him was fierce. Hui-won couldn’t avoid the gaze flying at his face and only stared at Kwon Young-je’s long eyelashes.
“Why would I move? I didn’t do anything wrong… And that place is so nice to live in,”
Before he could finish speaking, Kwon Young-je bit Hui-won’s lower lip. A groan escaped involuntarily at the pain that spread like fire. Hui-won clenched the lapels of his clothes tightly. His luxurious suit jacket was crumpled mercilessly in his grasp.
He bit him hard enough to make his eyes water, but now he gently rubbed his lip mucosa with his tongue as if a beast was caressing a wound. Kwon Young-je swallowed his panting breath and warned lowly.
“Report immediately if that bastard says anything nonsense.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll bury him. I’ll make sure he can never show his face again.”
Kwon Young-je was more than capable of doing it. Hui-won smiled and hugged his shoulders. It wasn’t something a secretary should do, but he patted his broad back as a sign of appreciation for his hard work today.
“I will report it, whose orders are these?”
The chests that had been colliding rapidly gradually calmed down. Even though the rush of excitement and anger was subsiding, Kwon Young-je didn’t release the arm around his waist.
Hui-won shared body heat and pheromones with him in a position that others shouldn’t see and thought. That dealing with Kwon Young-je had become much easier since they started mixing bodies.
Maybe his attitude towards him had changed.
After safely escorting Executive Director Kwon home, he immediately moved to the next location. The official schedule was over, but his day was not yet over.
The secretarial staff were having a company dinner for the first time in a while. It was a regular dinner held once every quarter, and he realized that another season had changed.
They had already moved to a bar. As he opened the door to the wine bar, he saw faces flushed with drunkenness. It was Friday, so they must have been determined to drink.
“Oh, General manager!”
Secretary Ji raised his arm when he found Hui-won. Everyone was thrilled when General manager Kim, whom they didn’t expect to come, appeared.
Hui-won slowly moved his steps and pulled out an empty chair. He scanned their red faces once and smiled faintly.
“You’re drinking expensive stuff, right?”
“Of course! We ordered the most expensive one, of course!”
Indulging in luxury with Executive Director Kwon’s card was the greatest joy and pleasure of company life. There was no limit to the dinner expenses, so they could spend as much as they wanted.
“Secretary Song is completely gone?”
“Secretary Song drank the most? He’s usually not good at drinking, but he really went for it today.”
“Oh dear.”
Hui-won sighed briefly as he looked at Secretary Song, who was lying face down on the table. He felt like he was the reason why he drank so much. He felt sorry and ended up watching him for a long time.
“General manager, would you like a drink?”
“No, I have to drive.”
Hui-won declined the expensive wine and ordered a carbonated drink that was easy to drink. He put the glass with the bubbles rising in front of him and talked with the secretaries. The stories they exchanged were obvious. Things like the hardships they felt while working. Fortunately, everyone seemed to be comfortable and said they wished it was always like this.
About an hour passed, and the bottles were empty, and it was time to wrap up. Secretary Ji and the new employee said they would move to another place to drink more, and Secretary Lee said he would take care of Secretary Song and go home.
Hui-won got up, put on his clothes, and said.
“Go in my car. I’ll take you.”
“We can take a taxi.”
“How can I send you two alone in a taxi when you’re drunk?”
He helped Secretary Song into the car. Since it was the way back from taking Executive Director Kwon, the car Hui-won brought was a large sedan.
Secretary Lee, who got into the back seat, leaned deeply against the leather seat. A faint exclamation escaped from her mouth as if the great ride felt good.
“Wow, I guess this is why people succeed.”
Hui-won chuckled lightly at those words.
Ugh, give me water…. Just in time, Secretary Song seemed to have come to his senses and bent his back. Hui-won opened the console box with his eyes fixed on the front. He took out the bottled water that he always kept inside and passed it to the back.
“…General manager?”
Secretary Song mumbled slowly as he drank the water. His blinking eyes looked at Hui-won’s round back of the head. Next to him, Secretary Lee was glaring like a supervisor.
“Secretary Song, it’s okay to act drunk, but you can’t throw up here, okay? This is Executive Director Kwon’s car.”
“……”
“Don’t spill water either. Hold your hand under your chin and drink.”
He was as strict as a drill instructor. Hui-won glanced at the rearview mirror and closely examined Secretary Song’s condition. Judging by his flickering eyes, it seemed like he would fall asleep again soon.
At that moment, the bell rang loudly. There was only one person who would call him late at night. It was Kwon Young-je, as expected.
What should he do?
He hesitated for a moment, but there was no option for him to not answer his call, so he lightly swiped the bottom of his phone with his fingertip.
-Secretary Kim.
When he switched to speakerphone mode, his low voice filled the car. He could feel the sound of suppressed breathing from behind.
