The Betrayers Revealed (2)
I considered the slim possibility that he had sent Kim Kyung-hee to me to prove himself superior in my eyes or to satisfy his twisted sexual cravings. I had even hoped for it. But it was not.
The real reason Park Dong-hoon had introduced Kim Kyung-hee to me was to steal information for the company raid and blind my eyes. That meant Kim Kyung-hee and Park Dong-hoon had used me as a tool for thoroughly dismantling the company.
“Now I finally understand. Why did she keep asking me about Luna Planning and prying into everything?”
All the official content of Luna Planning had been released through press releases. A normal fan would have paid attention to such reports. Yet Kim Kyung-hee had asked quite detailed questions about her father and management issues. Recalling what she had asked while feigning interest, I realized everything had been groundwork for the company raid.
The mere fact that she was a double agent was more than enough to make betrayal feel like a knife in the back for a lover. When Dong-hoon had tossed away the sex partner he had been playing with and laughed at me, that was not betrayal—it was rage I should have felt.
But they had gone far beyond even that.
“You three also helped kill my father, didn’t you? You were all in on the company theft and pushing my father to his grave.”
I could not forgive it. If Kim Kyung-hee had simply been a double agent, I could have felt betrayed and discarded it like garbage. That would have been nothing more than a man-and-woman love problem. But if they had joined the conspiracy to kill my father, the story changed.
The identity of Kim Kyung-hee and Park Dong-hoon had been a surprise even to me.
Hidden betrayers my father never knew.
They were not employees working inside the company, so my father had no idea they existed. Discovering their true nature would have been less shocking than hearing they had been dating other people as college friends.
“I need to find out everything about those two.”
Just as I had infiltrated Yoo Seok-yeon’s representative office, I first entered Kim Kyung-hee’s apartment. It was a small officetel.
Was this really called an officetel? It was not a massive building. Still, it was not a studio either. With a parking lot underground and a corridor-style layout, it fit the definition of an officetel. I had already checked the corridor for hidden cameras. Fortunately, there was only one camera covering the entire hallway. Simply covering that lens would make entry possible.
I took a photo of the camera, printed a tiny version, and stuck it right in front of the lens. The old spy-movie trick. Then I slipped into Kim Kyung-hee’s officetel after the grain-sized photo was fixed from a distance.
“Move—!”
It had been ages since I entered Kim Kyung-hee’s officetel. I had visited occasionally, but never for long. Most of the time I had been at a motel or my own place.
After confirming there were no hidden cameras inside, I searched every inch of Kim Kyung-hee’s room.
I turned on her PC and searched the hard drives, but found nothing special. The hard drives contained too much data to scan in short time, so I copied everything in full.
I installed a hacking tool and placed a hidden camera in her room, the same kind I had used on Yoo Seok-yeon’s representative PC. Then I restored everything exactly to the original positions so no one would know I had been there.
“This time it’s Park Dong-hoon’s officetel.”
The reason the two of them lived in an officetel instead of their parents’ house was obvious.
“It’s for free sex, right?”
It was hard to bring a man or woman home to their parents’ house, so they lived separately in the officetel. Thanks to that, stealing data and installing the camera in the two humans’ officetels went smoothly.
“I need to do the same at Kang Jung-goo’s.”
Since I had to strip Kang Jung-goo too, I infiltrated his officetel.
I had never been there before, but I already knew the address from company personnel records. I installed the hacking tool in Kang Jung-goo’s officetel as well. With that, I had completed the installation of hacking tools in all three of the bastards’ officetels.
Catching the tails of those three was not easy. But patience and waiting would eventually yield results. So I waited.
The service of the two mothers and Hwang Ri-na helped ease the tension.
After her first service, Min-ji had asked for two more daddy services and was beginning to grow used to them. Meal times had also switched to eating together as three.
“After eating and showering, you have to make the bed.”
“Mom, sleeping is really hard. I’m serious. My back and waist hurt. Let’s sleep in the bed. Let’s buy a bed.”
“Ah, no. This isn’t your house. We can’t bring in a bed.”
Min-ji began to complain bitterly about sleeping on the floor, and every time Choi In-sook would look awkward. For Min-ji, who was not used to sleeping on the floor with just a thin blanket, the floor was painful.
“If the two of you are fine, you can sleep in my bed. It’s much bigger than a king. It’s a great king bigger than a king. The three of us can sleep comfortably.”
“Ah, no. I can’t sleep in the same bed as the representative. We’re not family.”
“I’ll sleep in the representative’s bed.”
Choi In-sook rejected my suggestion, but Min-ji did not. Choi In-sook panicked at Min-ji’s words.
“M-Min-ji. No, that won’t do. Why would you sleep in the representative’s bed?”
“But it’s better than sleeping on the floor. If I get a herniated disk because of it, will Mom take responsibility? What if I get a slipped disk?”
“T-That’s…”
“Since the representative can sleep with us, too. From today on, I’ll sleep in the bed. I can’t sleep on the floor anymore.”
“You’re going to sleep in the same bed as the representative? The representative isn’t family.”
Choi In-sook opposed because they were not family, but the real reason was the danger of sleeping in the same bed with a man.
“Forget it. Then buy me a bed. I’ll sleep in the bed. Mom can do whatever she wants.”
Choi In-sook could no longer oppose after hearing Min-ji’s words about her aching back and the risk of a herniated disk.
“Hoo, okay. You can’t hurt your back. Got it.”
Min-ji’s insistence won out, and Min-ji ended up sleeping in my bed with me.
“I can understand why In-sook would hesitate. But Min-ji, who doesn’t see sleeping in the same bed with a man who is not family as strange, I cannot understand at all. Min-ji doesn’t know she has already been penetrated by me. She has no reason to feel burdened by sleeping in the same bed.”
In a normal situation, a woman would reject sleeping in the same bed with a man who was not family. But Min-ji had zero hesitation about sleeping with me, so Choi In-sook could not understand.
Min-ji did not feel any burden about sleeping in the same bed because she did not know we had already been intimate in the nude. It was impossible for her to understand why she was not uncomfortable.
A great king bed that was 40 cm longer than a queen was more than enough for three people. From tonight on, Min-ji and I would sleep in that bed. Choi In-sook seemed to believe it was impossible for her to sleep in the same bed with me.
“Slepping in the same bed with a man who is not your husband would be hard for anyone.”
Ultimately, it was Choi In-sook who reluctantly agreed for Min-ji to sleep in the same bed with me, citing her aching back and the risk of a herniated disk.
That evening, Min-ji made the bed with a thin blanket on the floor and greeted her before going to sleep.
“Mom, sleep well.”
“Yeah, you too, Min-ji. Sleep well.”
“Yeah. From today I’ll sleep in the bed, so I’ll sleep comfortably.”
“Yeah, sleep comfortably. Sleep quietly on one side so the representative isn’t bothered.”
You say so the representative isn’t bothered? I turned her words around. I had told her to sleep a little apart without touching me.
“If she already knows I have penetrated her, she wouldn’t have said that. Looking at how Choi In-sook wants me to keep physical contact away from Min-ji, it’s a strange feeling.”
Choi In-sook’s gaze toward Min-ji carried a complicated expression. It was fear for her daughter sleeping in the same bed with a man who was not family.
I watched her cover her daughter with the blanket and leave the room. Min-ji moved toward the bed with a shy expression, climbed in, and lay down. As someone who would be sleeping with Min-ji in the same bed, I had no intention of letting her sleep sweetly.
“Why are you sleeping so far away?”
“Mom said to sleep apart. To not bother the representative.”
“That’s because Mom doesn’t understand us. We’re already rubbing naked against each other. No reason to keep distance. We can hug and sleep.”
“Still…”
“Come on, lie down next to me.”
“Okay.”
Min-ji lay beside me and pulled the blanket over us. But sleep was unlikely to come easily. It was her first time sleeping in the same bed with a man who was not family, so the tension made it hard.
* gulp *
The sound of swallowing saliva echoed. Min-ji was tense the moment she lay down next to me. It was understandable. This was the first time she had slept in the same bed with a man who was not family.
