Chapter 58: Boss (1)
“Noo... na?”
I’m coming to. I knew something was off, but the mental exhaustion and the lingering sting of alcohol held my consciousness captive, slowing my reaction.
But now that I’m awake, I know. This situation is bad. Very bad.
My member, which had been standing tall under her touch, goes limp. As it sags, a clear bead of fluid clings to the tip. My Noona watches me under the moonlight.
It wasn't the way she usually looked at me—eyes crinkled in a smile or filled with warmth.
Her eyes were sharp, cold. A dark, crescent-shaped glint that sent shivers down my spine.
For the first time in a long while, my mother’s face flashed in my mind.
The expression Noona wore now was a mirror image of hers.
Mother was always beyond cool; she was freezing. She’d stand with her arms crossed, expressionless. She had a body similar to Noona’s, but she lacked any sense of maternal warmth.
Her expressions were rare, her tone clipped.
But I didn't hate her.
I liked her in my own way. Not the way I liked my family now, but still.
It was the typical feeling a son has for a mother. I thought she was beautiful and impressive.
She didn't feel like a "warm mother," but to me, she felt like a father figure—the head of the household.
Sure, she was scary, but that couldn't be helped.
To any child, a parent is a figure of both fear and deserved love—someone to respect.
Noona’s current expression was enough to strike me dumb. The mere fact that she had this side to her was alien.
It wasn't Mother’s clumsy love or suppressed maternal instinct.
It was a bone-chilling coldness that gripped my heart—something entirely different from anger.
I swallowed hard, instinctively holding my breath as I looked up at her.
The silence felt like an eternity. Cold sweat broke out, and my back began to ache from my awkward, twisted position.
But I didn't dare move. My breath was still ragged. Noona finally looked away from me and down at her hand.
It was splattered with semen. She had practically milked it out of me.
Because of my mental fatigue, I hadn't been properly aroused, so the discharge was thin and watery.
Even with my enhanced stamina, arousal dictates volume. It was inevitable.
I had been naive. I thought that even if she snuck into my room and begged for it, she wouldn't notice as long as I finished inside her.
“When you finish inside? I don’t know, I don’t really feel much... maybe just something flowing?”
That’s what Kang Yu-min had said when I asked out of curiosity. I figured that despite individual differences, human bodies were mostly the same.
But that only applied to finishing inside. If it was on her hand, there was no hiding it.
My Adam’s apple bobbed as I swallowed. A cold shiver ran down my spine.
“...Noona, I...”
“Kang Yu-jin.”
How many times had she called me by my full name? Hardly ever. If she had, I wouldn't be this paralyzed with fear.
“Y-yes?”
Instead of answering, she stared at her sticky palm for a long moment before running her tongue along her thumb. I swallowed again at the seductive sight.
“Kang Yu-jin.”
“...Yes.”
She called my name again. I knew something was wrong, but I had no idea what to say.
More specifically, I didn't know how much she knew or didn't know.
I didn't even know how I’d been caught. The way she had manually forced me to ejaculate just to check the fluid... that was the move of someone who already had a suspicion.
“D-did I... do something wrong?”
I asked, hoping she might still be in the dark.
“No,” she replied, her voice still icy.
Well, if I didn't do anything wrong, stop using that tone, I thought, but I couldn't bring myself to say it. It wasn't like I didn't have a hunch about what I’d done.
But I didn't let it show. In the slanted moonlight, I saw her face clearly.
Her cold expression definitely resembled Mother’s, but there was a difference.
There was a hint of sorrow mixed in.
“Jin-ah.”
As I stood there dazed, reading her expression, she suddenly used my nickname.
Not my full name, but the affectionate one she usually used. I was too caught off guard to respond, but she didn't seem to mind.
“Tomorrow... no, today. I’m working alone.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“There’s some heavy lifting to do, and I think I’ll be lonely by myself... Want to come to the office with me? It’s been a while.”
But her usual kindness was missing. She was still cold. It felt like she was whispering that I didn't have the option to say no.
My Adam’s apple bobbed again, and I managed a nod.
“I... I will. Yeah.”
Only then did she give a thin smile. It wasn't her usual gentle one.
“Goodnight.”
She vanished like a dream.
It was terrifying, like a nightmare born of sleep paralysis.
And yet, a part of me felt a strange flutter of excitement. I couldn't explain why.
“What? Where are you going?”
Morning came, and we were all having breakfast.
I wondered if the events of last night had been a dream, but they weren't.
“Noona has some stuff to move, and she said she’d be lonely. I’m going to help her out.”
“Oh, really?”
Everything I’d experienced was real, even if Noona wasn't showing a hint of it now.
“Mhm, I asked Jin-i to help me.”
“You should’ve asked me or Yu-ri too.”
“It’s not that much work. Jin-i is enough.”
“True. He’s a guy, might as well put him to work.”
Despite the casual conversation, the memories of last night were vivid.
The cold face hidden behind her gentle mask, her frigid touch, the way she milked me.
And the icy voice whispering that it was "thin" after she licked it.
It was all seared into my brain.
“Anyway, I’m heading out.”
“Sure. I’m going to the gym.”
Kang Yu-min, stretching her stiff muscles, didn't know. Yu-ri, still asleep in her room, didn't know. Only Noona and I knew.
But I couldn't ask for help. Yu-min and Yu-ri didn't know about the nature of my relationship with Noona.
Well, Yu-ri might suspect something.
But Yu-min definitely didn't. How could I tell her that Noona and I were sleeping together, and that she’d caught us—or at least suspected us—last night?
I had no choice. I had to follow her quietly.
I didn't know what was waiting for me, but I tried my best not to look nervous as we left the house.
“Get in.”
“Okay.”
I climbed into her SUV as usual. As she started driving, I fought off the waves of drowsiness and dizziness.
I’d left on an empty stomach to avoid motion sickness, but my stomach was still turning. At least having something else to worry about distracted me from the symptoms.
I closed my eyes and wondered what would happen.
Would she pull the car over somewhere?
Or would it happen at the office?
More important than the where was the what.
I still didn't know what she was planning.
A mix of tension, anticipation, worry, a faint trace of fear, and the discomfort of motion sickness swirled together. I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing.
“Jin-ah, we’re here.”
I woke up in the parking garage beneath her office. I must have dozed off. I straightened my head and wiped the drool from my mouth. Noona was smiling warmly at me.
“...Huh?”
“Did you doze off? You must not have slept well.”
She was waking me up with a gentle smile. She looked sophisticated in her tight pencil skirt, stockings, and sweater, topped with a white waist-length jacket.
She was the same kind, beautiful Noona as always. Had I really just dreamed it all?
I stood up, thinking that might be the case, and followed her into the building—specifically, the first floor of the industrial center where her office was located.
Her company wasn't huge.
But it wasn't tiny either, and the work environment was quite stylish.
The main office was in Room 1101, and the warehouse was in 1102. She was making enough to cover the rent for both units.
With the money Yu-min and I had given her, her business had been growing steadily lately.
Whenever I mentioned it, she’d just laugh and say, “It hasn't even been a month. It’s too early to tell.”
But I had a feeling it would do well. And even if it didn't, I could always give her more of the money I made from the game.
The office was even more bustling than usual.
“Wow... you must have been busy.”
“Mhm. We’re expanding, so it’s bound to be busy.”
Noona gave her signature eye-smile as she took off her jacket and hung it in the CEO's office. She chuckled softly, as if finding my looking around cute.
That sight alone gave me a sense of relief. Yeah, last night must have been a dream.
A distorted version of reality playing out in my sleep.
It was wishful thinking, but that’s what I chose to believe.
“Give me your coat too, Jin-ah.”
“Oh, right.”
I handed her my coat and looked around. The modern office was filled with traces of employees whose names I barely knew.
Desks and computers sat idle but dust-free.
Organized files and stapled documents were left exactly as they had been worked on.
The door to the warehouse was halfway open, and the light in the breakroom was on.
It felt like someone could walk out of the breakroom or the warehouse at any moment. I heard Noona sigh and went to turn off the breakroom light.
Even if someone did show up, I could just say I was there to help her, but the vividness of the place sparked a stray thought.
If Noona and I did something here, the tension would be insane.
The thought made my heart race. I swallowed hard at the intrusive, inappropriate fantasy.
But Noona was someone who kept her professional and personal lives strictly separate. That wouldn't happen. I turned back to her with a quiet smile.
“Noona, so what do you need help wi—”
My heart dropped.
She was looking at me with that same cold expression from last night.
Time seemed to slow down. The moment stretched into eternity. I couldn't breathe, couldn't speak. Then, like magic, she smiled.
“Right. A delivery came to the warehouse, and I want to move it. Is that okay?”
“O-oh, yeah. Of course...”
“Good. I’ll buy you dinner later.”
As if nothing had happened, she smiled and walked away, the rhythmic click-clack of her heels echoing.
Only then was I certain.
The Noona I saw last night—that coldness.
It wasn't a dream. It was real.
My Adam’s apple bobbed in the thick tension.
