A House for the Two of Us

A week later, on a Monday morning, Min-ho sat in the president's office at Venus Entertainment. Choi Seo-yoon drew a file of documents and smiled.

"Min-ho, congratulations!"

"For what?"

"The view-bonus settlement for First Meeting just came in. From S-Flix."

"S-Flix?"

"Yes. It's the platform that's exploding right now. They're carving up revenue really aggressively, trying to knock the old N-Flix off its perch."

Seo-yoon went on.

"You already received five million won as your base appearance fee. That's paid. This is the view bonus."

She held the papers out to him.

Min-ho's breath stopped.

"Two hundred... thirty million...?"

"And the views are still climbing, so there'll be more next quarter. Around fifty million, I'd guess."

Seo-yoon patted his shoulder.

"Ha-rin's title went up on S-Flix too, and the response is good. It's already past twenty million views. You'll probably get about another hundred million from that."

"Then..."

"Yes. Two hundred million now, a hundred million from Ha-rin's work, and once So-mi's title comes in... you'll clear five hundred million in earnings before the year is out."

"Five hundred million..."

"Enormous for a newcomer. You can thank S-Flix."

Min-ho's heart hammered. Five hundred million. Money he had believed he would never earn in a lifetime.

Now... Mom...

He made up his mind.

That afternoon, Min-ho went to the bank.

He checked the account, and two hundred thirty million won really had landed. Stacked on the contract money he'd been saving, the balance cleared three hundred million. And next month, another hundred million from Ha-rin's title...

Four hundred million locked in, and another hundred million still on the way...

He walked over to the mortgage window.

"Welcome."

The clerk greeted him. And then he saw the face, and knew it.

Kim Su-jin.

The banker who had helped him the day he came to pay the loan off in full. And that night...

"Min-ho...?"

Su-jin's eyes went wide.

"You remember me?"

"Yes... Su-jin..."

"Wow... it's been a while. Since then..."

Color rose in her face.

That night at her place came back to him.

"What brings you in?"

"I came for a consultation on a home mortgage."

"A house?"

She looked startled.

"What kind of price are you looking at?"

"Around eight hundred million."

"Eight hundred million?"

She looked even more startled.

"How much do you have in funds?"

"Three hundred million right now. Another hundred million comes in next month, and I think another hundred two months after that."

"So... about five hundred million altogether."

"Yes. That's why I was hoping to borrow around three hundred million."

Su-jin checked the computer.

"Min-ho... you're really something. A few months ago you came in to pay off a forty-million-won debt..."

"I got lucky."

"Can you document your income?"

"Yes. I brought a certificate from the company."

He took out the papers. A certificate of affiliation with Venus Entertainment, his production contracts, proof of earnings.

"Wow... you really are making a lot."

She looked through the documents, openly impressed.

"Three hundred million... and you're a rookie..."

"It's thanks to S-Flix."

"Even so, it's impressive. The views only come if you're actually good."

Su-jin stared straight at him.

"Min-ho... you never called after that."

"Ah... I've been busy..."

"That hurt."

She stepped in close.

"Min-ho... that night... it was really good."

"Su-jin..."

"I can approve the loan. Your funds are more than enough, and your income checks out. But..."

She lowered her voice.

"Do you have time this evening?"

Heat climbed into his face.

"Sorry?"

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

"I want to congratulate you. On hitting it big. At my place."

"Su-jin..."

"No?"

He hesitated.

Su-jin...

She was pretty. She was alluring.

"All right. What time?"

"Come to my place at seven. You remember the address?"

Su-jin smiled.

"I remember."

Seven in the evening. Min-ho arrived outside Su-jin's place, a small studio in Sillim-dong, and pressed the bell.

"Come in!"

He opened the door and stepped inside, and Su-jin was there to meet him. She had on a thin slip of a dress, and nothing under it. All of her slim figure—165 centimeters of it—showed through.

"Welcome, Min-ho."

"Hello."

"Sit. I got a wine ready."

She brought the wine over, and the two of them sat on the sofa.

"A toast. To your success."

"Cheers."

They drank, and they talked.

"Min-ho, you're really incredible. Succeeding like this in just a few months."

"I got lucky."

"No. It's skill."

Su-jin moved closer.

"Min-ho... I... I haven't stopped thinking about it since that night."

"Su-jin..."

"You were really something. That time."

Her hand climbed his thigh.

"Tonight... can you do it for me again?"

"Su-jin..."

"I want to. I really do."

She kissed him.

"Let's go to the bedroom."

In the bedroom, Su-jin pulled the dress off. A slim body, 165 centimeters of it. Small breasts, a firm figure.

"Min-ho, take your clothes off."

He undressed. The moment he pushed his leggings down, he sprang free.

"Wow... just like I remembered..."

Su-jin swallowed.

"You look even bigger than last time...? And I think ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠your body's gotten better, too."

"I've been working out a lot."

"You look incredible."

She sank to her knees.

"Let me take care of you first."

She opened her mouth and began to take him in.

"Mmm..."

"Su-jin... that's good..."

She worked him in earnest, with her tongue, with her lips. Five minutes, maybe.

"Su-jin... if you keep that up, I'm going to..."

She drew her mouth away.

"I want you inside. Min-ho."

"Then..."

Su-jin lay back on the bed.

"Come here."

He climbed over her.

"I'm going in."

"Yeah... slowly..."

He began to push in, carefully.

"Nnh... Min-ho... God... you're big..."

Halfway. Then two thirds.

"I'm all the way in."

"Nnh... I feel so full..."

He started to move.

"Ah... Min-ho... that's good..."

"You like it too?"

"Yeah... I love it... I think it's even better than last time..."

"Then I'll do better."

He picked up the pace.

"Ah... ah... Min-ho!"

Time passed.

"Want to change positions?"

"Yeah..."

Su-jin turned onto her stomach, and he entered her again from behind.

"Nnh... this position... it's deep..."

"Su-jin... good?"

"Yeah... so good... Min-ho..."

He took her by the waist and moved.

"Su-jin... I'm... close..."

"Me too... together..."

The two of them climaxed at the same moment.

"Min-ho...!"

"Su-jin...!"

A long while later, they lay side by side, catching their breath.

"Min-ho... that was really good."

"For me too."

"Once the papers you submitted are processed, the loan should come through within a week."

"Thank you, Su-jin."

"I'm the one who should thank you. Today... I was happy."

She pulled him ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠into her arms.

"Min-ho... we can see each other again, right?"

"Of course."

"Good. Call me often."

"I promise."

A week later, Min-ho went to look at an apartment in Guro-gu.

It was a new build listed at eight hundred million won, about seven hundred square feet—clean, and just the right size for him and his mother.

"Do you ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠like it?"

The agent asked.

"Yes. I like it. Let's go ahead with the contract."

"Wonderful! The deposit is one hundred million, and the balance is due in a month."

Min-ho signed. A deposit of one hundred million won. A balance of seven hundred million—four hundred million of his own money, plus a loan of three hundred million.

Finally...

His heart pounded. A new house. A house where he would live with his mother.

That evening, Min-ho went to Lee Mi-young's place.

"Babe!"

Mi-young welcomed him, bright with delight.

"Mi-young, I've got good news."

"What is it?"

"I bought a house."

"A house? Really?"

"Yeah. Eight hundred million. A new build, about seven hundred square feet."

Her eyes went wide.

"Eight hundred million...? You?"

"Yeah. The titles blew up. I made a lot of money."

"Oh my God..."

Mi-young threw her arms around him.

"My son... you've really become something..."

"Mi-young."

"Yeah?"

"Let's live together. In that house. This is only the start, but once I make it further, we'll move somewhere bigger."

She stared at him.

"Live... together?"

"Yeah. I earn money now. I've got a place of my own... I want to live with you."

"But... won't the people around us think it's strange...?"

"These days there are plenty of couples with a big age gap, an older woman and a younger man. So what. And we've just moved in—who's going to know we're mother and son?"

He pulled her close.

"You're my woman, Mi-young."

"Babe..."

Tears spilled down her face.

"Thank you... really, thank you..."

"So we'll live together?"

"Yeah... let's live together. With you."

Min-ho wiped the tears from her overcome face with his thumb.

"Don't cry. It's a good day. We should celebrate, shouldn't we?"

"Yeah... I'm just so happy..."

"Since it came up—want to throw a contract-celebration party? With our bodies."

Reading the heat in his eyes, color rose in Mi-young's face.

"Oh my... there's no stopping you. You only just walked in..."

"Why? You don't want to?"

"No... I do. I want to congratulate you too. Honey."

Min-ho swept her up off the floor. Against a Strength of forty-eight, Mi-young at 158 centimeters was light as a feather.

"Kyaa! Babe!"

"Bedroom. Think of it as a housewarming before we move into the new place."

He laid her on the bed and peeled her clothes away with familiar hands. Fifty-four years old, and it hardly showed—full breasts, a waist still narrow.

"Mi-young, once we move... I'll hold you like this every day. In the living room. In the kitchen, too."

"Aah... that's embarrassing... but I like it..."

He parted her legs and slowly pushed in, his length already furiously hard.

"Haa... babe... I swear you feel even bigger today..."

"Signing the new place must have me running hot."

He began to move his hips. Her inner walls clenched around him, hot and tight.

"Ah! Ah! So good! Honey! It's too good!"

"Mi-young, I love you. From now on, I'll make you happy for the rest of our lives."

"Yes! I love you too! Babe! Harder! Deeper!"

Charged with celebration, the sex burned hotter than it ever had. Drenched in sweat, they cried each other's names and climaxed in a fierce shared rush.

"Haa... haa..."

Min-ho sank into Mi-young's arms.

"Mi-young, I love you."

"I love you too, babe."

They kissed.

A new beginning in the new house was waiting for him—and, with Mi-young, a deeper bond still to be made.
