Chapter Title: Kang Seo-yoon's Wounded Pride
-----------------------------------------------------------------
With the materials I gave her, Han Yu-ra worked hard on the revisions and finally got the recognition she deserved.
"Yu-ra. This is good. See? It worked out. Great job. Let's use this for the next shoot."
"Kyaa! Thank you! Writer!"
"What do you mean thank you? It's all because of your hard work. Thank you for not giving up, Yu-ra."
"Ughhh!"
Overwhelmed with joy, Han Yu-ra started shedding tears like raindrops.
She even buried her face in the desk and sobbed.
We all watched her with warm smiles.
"Congrats, sunbae."
"Yu-ra. Congratulations."
"Heartfelt congrats, Yu-ra. You've been through so much, haven't you?"
With everyone congratulating her, those pretty eyes just wouldn't stop tearing up.
Han Yu-ra, crying and beaming at the same time, was truly stunning.
"Thank you, everyone! Really, thank you! Min-seong! Really! Thank you so much!"
She singled me out by name, and sure enough, my inner closeness with her ticked up.
That day, in high spirits, Han Yu-ra bought coffee for the whole team.
"Min-seong. Thank you so much. I owe you big time."
"But you're settling it with just coffee?"
"Hehe. No way. If there's anything you want help with from me, just say the word anytime."
"For real?"
"Yeah! I'll do whatever I can."
"Anything at all?"
"Ah! W-well, not everything. Just stuff I can actually help with."
Her face flushed bright red as that evening flashed in her mind, and she quickly looked away.
"Got it. I'll think about it."
"Y-you have to pick something I can actually do."
"Sure, sure."
What should I ask for?
"Choi Min-seong. My office."
Kang Seo-yoon called me to her room again today.
When I got there, she crossed her legs seductively right in front of me, blatantly on purpose.
"Hand over the documents. I'll review them with you."
"Here you go."
She knew her legs were her weapon, crossing them again slowly.
Each time, her skirt teased a glimpse of her panties, incredibly tantalizing.
'Doing it again.'
Kang Seo-yoon held the documents up to eye level.
It was like she was openly inviting me to stare at her legs.
They really were a work of art. No way I'd pass up a chance like this.
As I stared openly...
Suddenly—
Kang Seo-yoon stood up abruptly and came right next to me.
She pressed so close that her intoxicating scent tickled my nose.
"Min-seong. Let's look at this part."
"Ah, sure."
She even deliberately placed her hand on my thigh.
"When they exchange the item here..."
Her hand lingered on my thigh far too long.
Distracted by her touch for a moment...
"Choi Min-seong. Are you even focusing?"
"Pardon? Yes. Sorry."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Hmm."
I glanced down at my thigh without answering.
"What? Because of this? Why? Does my hand on your thigh get you hard?"
She said it so casually.
"You're teaching me one-on-one, so I should pay proper attention, right?"
Her scolding felt oddly intentional.
"You were staring at my legs earlier too."
So she was set on seducing me today as well.
"You said it'd be trouble if we got too close. But you get erect from something this minor?"
"Writer, you're just too alluring. It's hard to hold back."
I said it to cheer her up.
"You've been saying your libido's been building up lately. Do you really get hard all the time?"
"..."
"This won't do. Take it out. I'll help you."
"Pardon?"
"What? Still refusing? Just cum and focus on work. You're my item idea, but it's my shoot in the end. We need to do it right."
"..."
"I'm not saying sex. Just a handjob. No pressure. As long as we don't get caught."
So this was the buildup for that.
Bold—way too bold.
A handjob from my boss? Ultimate perk, but I can't cross that line.
"I'm fine. I'll focus, so let's work."
From then on, I ignored her smoldering gaze and all her touches.
She seemed pissed, her contacts getting rougher.
When her hand slid from my thigh toward my crotch...
"Writer. You can't do that."
I grabbed her hand firmly and stated it clearly. She pouted her lips.
"Who said I enjoy touching you?"
"Please refrain from this kind of contact from now on."
"Fine, I get it! Happy now? It was a mistake!"
She snapped back and stormed to the opposite side.
Then she crossed her legs again, blatantly, very slowly.
"Hmph. Go ahead and stare at my legs then."
Her pride was clearly bruised.
Should I tease her a bit more?
"Writer. You're not seducing me, are you?"
"S-seducing? Me? You?"
"Yeah. Like offering a handjob before, and today you're constantly arousing me."
"And it worked?"
"Yes. It did. But then I have to go relieve myself alone in the bathroom, so please hold back."
"...That's why I offered to help."
"I feel too guilty facing Go PD if we go further."
"Ha. Unbelievable. What happened to pounding away like crazy before?"
"I wasn't in my right mind then. Anyway, please keep the physical contact minimal. I'll go take care of it first."
I said that and quickly left the room.
Kang Seo-yoon looked flustered, like she wanted to call me back, but I was already gone.
After killing some time, I returned to find her biting her lip and glaring at me.
"Oh dear, Maknae Writer. Did you handle it refreshingly?"
"Yeah, sort of."
"With all that overflowing lust, how do you even work? That's a big problem."
"..."
"Doesn't it hurt doing it alone?"
"What can I do? Gotta relieve it somehow."
"I offered to do it, and you bitch about it."
"I can't have that kind of relationship with you, Writer. I have some shame. You're engaged, after all."
"No! If you're too stressed to work, it's my responsibility as your boss, so I'm offering to fix it!"
Kang Seo-yoon finally exploded.
I'd planned it, but her blowing up so fast was hilarious.
Even in the midst of it, she made excuses to protect her pride.
"If there's anything problematic, let me know and I'll revise it."
"You little..."
"Anything else today?"
"No!"
"Then I'll be going."
As soon as I stepped out, a smile crept across my face.
Just two thrusts, and she's already this desperate?
Well, yeah. My cock must be haunting her thoughts, making it tough.
But calling another guy? Too risky.
Just a bit longer.
"That bastard..."
I tried seducing him so hard, but he slipped away like an eel.
After such a hot night together, is he really unaffected?
No. He said it was ecstatic. Said he keeps thinking about it.
Then he should want me more.
Is he really holding back because I'm Go Nan-young's fiancée and his boss?
"..."
That makes sense, rationally.
No matter how strong the lust, there's a line you don't cross.
Still, refusing even a handjob? What's that about?
"I'm crazy. What was I expecting from that guy?"
Min-seong's cock keeps popping into my head.
The feeling of him thrusting forcefully is still vivid.
I shouldn't. I really need to forget it.
The more I try, the clearer the memory gets.
Is it because it was my first time experiencing something like that?
I even masturbated after a long time because of it.
But it wasn't enough. The thirst wasn't quenched.
So I tried arousing him under the handjob pretext... to create an opportunity.
"No way that jerk's doing it on purpose?"
Trying to tame me? Make me beg for it?
"Crazy bastard. Think I'd do that?"
Never gonna happen.
No matter how desperate, no way.
If I give in first, I'll have to see that smug look on his face.
I hate that thought.
"Let's see who wins."
I'll make you say you want it.
Lately, I've been using my Conviction ability productively.
Since it's my first item idea, I've been meeting Go PD mainly to ensure the shoot goes as planned.
"Ahem. So you want us to film it like this?"
He's not the type to listen to me normally.
He nitpicks, belittles, and dismisses everything.
My intended scenes and episodes are likely to get changed.
So I had to use Conviction to shape it my way.
"Yes, PD. I think it'll make the visuals pop more."
"It's cheeky for an item guy to demand things, but... yeah, it doesn't sound bad. Let's do it that way."
You have successfully convinced them.
"Thank you, PD."
"Don't get cocky thinking it's because you're cute. It's my show, so I'm doing it."
"I'll keep that in mind!"
"Ugh. Your smile's annoying. Get out."
That's when something fun happened.
"Got chewed out again?"
I hadn't, thanks to the ability.
Curious why Kang Seo-yoon was waiting outside Go PD's office, I played along.
"Yeah, a bit?"
"Follow me."
She led me to her room.
"I don't get why Go PD picks on you so much."
Squeeze—
With that, she suddenly hugged me tight.
"Sorry. Since my fiancé did it, I'll comfort you."
She deliberately pressed my face into her chest.
'Well, well.'
Today's buildup was intense.
Her perfume and the soft give of her breasts made me hard.
Her hand naturally slid over the bulge.
"What? Now you're stiff at the drop of a hat."
"..."
"How are you gonna work like this? Embarrassed to even leave my room, huh?"
This wasn't dropping her pride—it was fighting to keep it.
Like, I'm Kang Seo-yoon—how can you not fall for this?
Since I was resisting, her bruised pride shifted her tactics.
Her cute antics nearly made me laugh, but I held back again.
"I asked you to cut back on this contact. This is harassment, Writer."
"Then don't get hard."
"You're impossible. Lots of work, so I'm heading out."
"Hey, wait!"
I slipped away that day too.
The next day.
"Choi Min-seong. My office."
She called me again, and this time...
"My body's stiff. Give me a massage."
Openly coaxing me to touch her.
"I believe that's inappropriate at work."
"So you won't?"
"No. I can't."
I said that and left.
I could imagine her trembling with rage inside—satisfying.
"Choi Min-seong. My office."
The day after, she called again.
"You've been through a lot. Stressed out. Today, I'll massage you."
She kneaded my shoulders deliberately, even breathing into my ear.
It was fascinating how far she'd go.
Was her wounded pride really that infuriating?
That's why it was fun.
I'd been wondering how to break her pride.
Now it seemed like it would backfire in my favor.
"Shoulders are good now. That's enough. Thanks."
I took just the shoulder massage and left.
Glancing back, Kang Seo-yoon looked genuinely furious.
I could probably fuck her right now, but I'm holding out.
I want to hear it straight from that haughty Kang Seo-yoon's mouth—that she wants me inside her.
The next day again.
That day, Kang Seo-yoon unleashed her ultimate weapon.
"Choi Min-seong. My house."
Her house, not her office?
