Chapter 63: Boss (6)
Chapter 63: Boss (6)
“…Why should I go to the office…?”
At my words, Noona shifted only her eyes to look at me, her clothes still disheveled and damp.
“Is it not allowed?”
“It’s not that it’s not allowed… it’s just so sudden.”
“It’s not really that sudden.”
Noona gripped the steering wheel so hard it made a creaking sound. Watching her knuckles turn white, I found myself swallowing hard.
“You’re not returning to university anyway, and it’s not like you have anything else to do at home.”
“Well.”
“That game? It only takes a few minutes. It’ll be over in less than ten, and you can wash up and head to work right after.”
She was right on every point. I shut my mouth, unable to offer a rebuttal, yet I didn't even know why I was acting this way.
I should have just said, "I see," and asked if I should start on Monday, or joked about how I was scared to work at a female-majority company.
But strangely, the words wouldn't come. An instinctual gut feeling—a warning that I shouldn't say anything—was keeping my mouth shut.
Unable to answer, I lowered my head and stared at the dashboard. Noona pressed for a response.
“Don’t you think? If you really hate it, we can just do it at home after work.”
Her tone wasn't her usual gentle, slightly slurred way of speaking. I realized then that Noona was still a bit angry.
I couldn't tell if it was irritation or genuine rage, but I had no desire to shorten my lifespan by asking.
Like a beast cowering before a sudden storm, I did the same. I lowered my head, hoping the storm of Noona’s anger would simply pass.
But the difference between a person and a storm mocked such an attempt.
A storm has no will, but a person does. A sticky, lingering will that can turn into malice at any moment.
The car, which had been moving steadily, began to slow down. Amidst a pressure that made me forget even my rising seasickness, I swallowed hard. Feeling Noona pull the car over to the shoulder, I squeezed my eyes shut.
“Jin-ah.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“Open your eyes.”
I couldn't open them immediately. The chilling aura still lingering around her forbade it. She said the words, but my sharp intuition told me that I really shouldn't open my eyes.
“Noona isn't angry.”
“That’s… a lie.”
“Why would Noona lie to you? I’m really not angry. Open your eyes.”
When I cautiously opened them, Noona was right there.
She didn't have her usual squinty-eyed smile. She was merely twisting her lips, mimicking her usual expression.
And though only the look in her eyes had changed, she was radiating a coldness and terror that felt untouchable.
My knees felt weak. It might have been the motion sickness, but still.
As I reflexively gulped, Noona spoke to me.
“But, you and I had sex at the office, didn't we, Jin-ah?”
It was an incredibly blunt way to put it. To me, having seen her and tangled my body with hers until now, it sounded jarringly foreign.
Usually, Noona’s lewd expressions fell into one of two categories.
Either they were words she squeezed out to provoke and stimulate me into taking her roughly.
Or they were the "saliva" of her desires, spilling out when her reason had blurred to the point of vanishing.
In either case, they weren't things she would say consciously while in full possession of her reason, nor had the circumstances ever allowed for it.
It was only natural that I froze in shock. But Noona was staring at me silently.
For a moment, I wondered if I was dreaming.
This wasn't the Noona I knew. No matter how diverse and multi-colored her charms were, like a rainbow.
This version of her was far outside that spectrum. So, I remained frozen, unable to answer.
Noona took my silence as affirmation.
“We did it a lot. In the breakroom. That’s why I had to go to a coin laundry nearby after evening had already turned to night, washing and quick-drying all the breakroom bedding and clothes until they were all wrinkled.”
She was right. The bedding would have dried eventually if left alone, and the breakroom would have aired out if the door was left open.
Since the office was high up in the building, that was the only way. But…
Washing them much sooner than usual and not finishing the job properly was bound to look suspicious.
And that wasn't all. Although I hadn't been able to sense much while Noona was pinning me down, and later I was too busy losing my mind while ravishing her to check…
Assistant Manager Kim might be vaguely considering the possibility that Noona had been doing it with someone.
She wouldn't know who… but still, wouldn't I be caught immediately if I started working there?
I looked at Noona, gripped by fear, and felt intimidated by the madness in her eyes.
Wow, damn.
Her eyes said she didn't care at all. For the sake of Noona’s future, her dignity, and my own social reputation, I had to make a big decision.
“And…?”
“Why do you think that happened?”
“Uh, well.”
Indeed, why? I stammered, unable to give an easy answer, but Noona had already reached her conclusion.
“It’s because you won't give Noona any attention and keep touching the other family members.”
“I-Is that so?”
“Yes, it is.”
It was the kind of statement that felt like it wouldn't tolerate any rebuttal. There was no logic or rational judgment in it—only pure emotion.
And that scared me. I was terrified, but I couldn't find the words to talk back.
Even if I said it wasn't true, what then?
Persuasion only works when the other person has logic, a willingness to listen, and the reason to understand. If even one of those is missing, the difficulty spikes exponentially; if two are gone, it’s practically impossible.
And if all three are gone? You just get swept away. That was the situation I was facing. Because my brain was operating at peak performance due to the successive rounds of post-nut clarity, I was able to realize this quickly.
“From now on, you’re only doing it with Noona. Got it?”
This time, I didn't ask why. As if she wouldn't permit a rebuttal, Noona’s rarely sharp eyes glared at me while her hand rested on my thigh.
“So… that’s why I have to go to the office?”
“Yes.”
“W-Won't we get caught?”
“We can do it in the car, on business trips, or during lunch. I can make up as many excuses as I want. I’m the Boss, after all.”
“I guess so….”
The thought crossed my mind that this was exactly what people meant by sexual exploitation through abuse of hierarchy, but there was no point in a man saying that.
In the first place, since this was incest, I couldn't complain to anyone about it anyway. I had no choice but to accept it as my own cross to bear.
I thought things had been mostly settled when Noona was dazed after I came inside her a few times, but I guess not.
As I broke into a cold sweat, Noona’s dark pupils stared at me intently.
“Got it?”
She asked again. It felt like she wouldn't start the car until I answered. Since I didn't have a license and couldn't drive in her place, I agonized for a moment before finally opening my mouth.
“…Give me a grace period.”
“Why?”
“I think that Assistant Manager Kim person noticed something.”
Noona’s eyebrows shot up. She looked like she was wondering what that meant.
But even as I thought that, I didn't bother to explain. I just knew that now was the time to push.
While this fresh, venomous side of Noona was okay in its own way, all poisons eventually kill you if you keep consuming them.
It was "okay" only to a point; in truth, it was actually a bit scary.
Anyway, while Noona’s venom wouldn't literally kill me, I knew instinctively that I couldn't just act stubborn and refuse to go while she was showing these abnormal signs.
I wasn't thick-skinned enough for that in the first place.
So, what I needed was time. Time to think of a way to resolve this crisis, or time for Noona’s anger to sufficiently subside.
Human emotions are fundamentally volatile, so I believed that no matter how intense Noona’s anger or obsession was, it would diminish over time.
“…That makes sense. Fine, then… do you want to start in two weeks?”
“Okay, two weeks. Starting Monday?”
“Yes, you can start on Monday. You don't have to wear a suit or anything.”
“Oh, really? But… it’s a female-majority workplace, so maybe I should dress up a bit—”
“You can dress shabbily.”
She said I could, but it felt more like she was insisting that I must. I swallowed and nodded.
“I’ll… do that.”
Only then did Eldest Noona beam at me and start the engine again.
By the time the engine roared to life and its vibrations plunged me back into that dreamy yet terrible seasickness, Noona had returned to her usual self.
“Get some rest. I’ll wake you when we arrive.”
I wondered which version of her was the real Noona. Even as the thought crossed my mind, I closed my eyes, feeling my stomach churn in the swaying car.
I had to solve this problem, one way or another.
After returning home and laying my exhausted body down.
The next morning, after Noona had left for work.
I saw Kang Yu-min, who had followed me into the bathroom while I was going in to shower.
“Hey, why were you so late yesterday… Oh.”
“You’re here.”
“What’s with that look on your face?”
“Things happened.”
I couldn't bring myself to tell Yu-min the truth. That Eldest Noona had found out, that she suspected either her or Yu-ri, and that she was forcibly drafting me into the company to use me as a human dildo.
It was something I simply couldn't reveal. At least, not right now.
Even if I were to reveal it, I was certain I would need sufficient preparation and… psychological recruitment.
Knowing that Yu-min, like Yu-ri, saw me as a romantic interest, I had no other choice.
I gave a vague excuse, and Yu-min studied my complexion before pouting.
“This Noona can tell just by looking.”
“…Huh?”
“It’s all because you don't exercise.”
Yu-min chuckled and poked my nose. When I looked at her with a "here we go again" expression, she crossed her arms as if offended, asking, "What’s with that face?" But honestly, this side of her was much easier to deal with.
Eldest Noona’s venom and Yu-ri’s clinginess weren't good for my digestive health, so I thought that occasionally "consuming" Yu-min, who was like a healing type, would be better for my long-term mental health.
“If you’re really struggling, do you want to go to the gym with me? Sweating and exercising is good for the mind…”
“Should I?”
I reacted instantly to Yu-min’s sweet suggestion.
“Huh?”
Yu-min’s eyes widened in surprise. I became lost in thought, wondering if I could use exercise as a way to avoid Noona’s forced conscription, and soon I was certain.
If I said I was exercising for my health, there was no way Noona could say anything to me.
No, was that all?
What if I said I was going to use my 10x Stamina to its fullest and pursue a career in fitness?
Noona’s justification for dragging me to the office would be greatly diminished.
Once I made up my mind, Yu-min suddenly started looking beautiful to me.
“Hey, hey! Wh-What are you doing…!”
Naturally, I pulled this lovely Second Noona into an embrace and showered her with kisses. Though she tried to push me away at first, she was soon giggling and enjoying it.
“Seriously, such a fuss…. Hurry up and wash.”
I grabbed the lifeline Yu-min had thrown me and hurried to wash up.
