A Heart About to Burst
For some reason, the moment I walked into the office, I ended up staging a scene straight out of a romance manga.
Dayeon wasn't the only one thrown by it. I was just as flustered.
My heart's about to burst? Am I out of my mind? I can't believe those words actually came out of my mouth. Wow. Live long enough and you really do see everything. Not that I've lived that long, but still.
I stood there muttering to myself in a panic, while Dayeon — having already yanked her hand back — was clearly trying to figure out how to apologize properly.
...No, why did my hand go there first?
She'd been living with Eunchae for a long time, and being the same gender, the two of them had always been casual about touching each other. That habit had apparently spilled straight over onto me.
"God, I'm so sorry. I've been living with Eunchae for so long that my hands just... go places on their own. I think it's become a habit."
It sounded like a massive excuse, but if she didn't apologize with some kind of explanation, the whole situation could get genuinely weird. I hadn't seemed upset about it — if anything, I'd told her my heart was pounding, which was a relief.
If I mess this up, I become the Park Woojin type, don't I? The kind of person who does creepy stuff around the office... except the person I just did it to is the boss... wow. That's actually the worst.
"I'll be more careful from now on. For real."
"Ahem. It's fine. I'm sorry too — I said something weird out of nowhere."
I hadn't planned on saying my heart was about to explode. The words had just slipped out on their own. The silver lining was that Dayeon didn't seem to find the comment all that strange.
"But seriously, why does your skin look this good today?"
The whole embarrassing, flustered situation had started because my skin had been practically glowing, and it had caught her eye out of nowhere.
"Ah, I switched lotions recently. I guess the new one just agrees with me?"
I didn't even use toner — just lotion — so I deflected with something vague.
"Ohh~ You picked a really good one, then."
"Haha, I just grabbed whatever, honestly. But you got here super early today?"
Dayeon usually came in early whenever she had work, but just yesterday on the way out she'd mentioned she'd probably be late today.
"Mm, today's a late stream day, so I was going to take my time... but I got kinda bored."
Being home alone, she'd realized for the first time in a while just how bored she actually was. She had plenty of friends and knew plenty of other streamers. On a normal day, she would have just made plans and gone to see someone. But lately, hanging out with me and Eunchae had become such a habit that she didn't particularly feel like seeing anyone else.
"I figured I'd come watch you and Eunchae work, chat a bit. That kind of thing."
"Then want to finish up work and play some games together?"
"Hah, games? Hell yes."
Dayeon had always watched a lot of editors and thumbnail artists gaming together and running collab streams. She'd dreamed of finding people she actually clicked with, playing games together, and maybe even starting a group collab of her own.
"Th-then, maybe we could try a group collab stream...?!"
Her eyes sparkled as she asked.
"Ah, sorry... streaming's not really my thing."
Unfortunately, I had never once considered going on stream, and the refusal came back without a single second of hesitation.
"Ah— ah... I-I see..."
Seeing her dejected expression, I felt genuinely bad.
But no still means no.
No matter how I felt about it, I had no intention of streaming.
I don't think I could handle it.
I'd never seriously considered going on camera myself, which made me even more certain.
"Eunchae would probably do it if you asked. That's a real shame."
She said it with genuine disappointment, but she wasn't about to push someone who'd already said no. She'd only suggested it because she thought it would be fun to do together.
"Just playing games together should be fine, so let's do that after work."
"Yeah, okay. I'll get out of your hair for now so I don't keep interrupting."
Just gaming together in our free time sounded plenty fun on its own, so Dayeon quietly vacated the room.
We worked through the morning, and after lunch the three of us — noona, Eunchae, and I — played games together.
Eunchae still had work to finish, so she dropped out partway through. Noona and I kept playing until it was almost time for her stream.
"Ugh, this is so much fun. I really don't want to stop."
It helped that our playstyles clicked better than I'd expected, which made it even better.
"Right? Let's make time for this more often."
"Yes please! Tomorrow too?"
"Tomorrow? Hmm, I think I'll be wrapping everything up tomorrow. I'm down."
"Wait, you're already almost done?!"
I flashed a thumbs-up at noona's stunned expression.
"Then the day after we can game ALL day?!"
Ah. So that was what she actually cared about.
"Uh, yeah. Pretty much."
"YES! I'm coming in first thing that morning!"
I'd originally planned to finish the work and just not come in on Friday. Somehow, it now looked like I was going to have to come in after all.
"Alright. Friday's an all-day gaming session, then. Now, shall we get you into the booth?"
"It's such a shame. If you'd just say yes to streaming, we could go straight into a group collab right now."
She still hadn't given up on the group-collab dream. I herded her into the soundproof booth anyway.
Ugh, streaming though...
Until recently I'd just been another viewer. The idea of having to worry about what those viewers thought of me...
Not that noona's chat would be that bad about it, but once you're on stream, you can never be completely at ease.
"Game over?"
"Hey, Eunchae. You finish up?"
Park Woojin had already left for the day, and there'd been a decent gap before noona's stream started, but Eunchae hadn't rejoined the game. I figured her work must have run long.
"Yeah, this one was pretty brutal."
"Looks like you wrapped it up okay, though."
"I hauled ass. We've got that promise, remember? I was trying to hit the time."
Ah. Right.
We'd promised office sex.
I'd been so locked in playing games with noona that I'd completely forgotten. But this... I should probably not mention that. She might get upset. Ahem.
"Want to head to the room, then?"
"Wait... I, uh, I'm gonna go wash up first."
The fact that she wanted to shower first meant she was planning to go all the way. I swallowed, suddenly nervous.
"Got towels and stuff?"
"Yeah, I use it as a bathroom sometimes, so there's towels and everything. Go wait in the room."
"What about a change of clothes?"
"Come on, we're just gonna take it all off and fuck anyway. What's the point?"
...So she was planning to walk out of the bathroom completely naked?
Granted, noona wasn't going to step out mid-stream. And I was going to lock the front door — safety chain and all — so Park Woojin couldn't walk back in. But still. Walking around the office completely naked...
Honestly? That was insanely hot.
"Hahh..."
Once Eunchae headed into the bathroom, I hooked the safety chain on the front door and went into the room first, sitting down in the chair.
But... where were we even going to do this?
The room had a computer desk, a chair, and two extra chairs that noona and Eunchae used when they came in to sit. That was it. The couch was in the living room, which meant if we stayed in here we'd be doing it on the bare floor.
That seemed a little much, didn't it?
"...Should we do it in the living room...?"
But the living room... noona could theoretically come out. Once she started a stream she usually stayed put — there was a bathroom and a fridge in the booth — but still. There was always a "what if."
Yeah, that was a problem. Doing it on the floor didn't make sense either, though. I'd be fine, but Eunchae's back would be killing her afterward.
I was still turning it over when—
"Hehe. Did I keep you waiting?"
Eunchae walked into the room completely naked, a towel covering nothing but the essentials.
Holy shit. That was... insanely hot.
No — this was genuinely too much. Every last worry I'd been chewing on vanished. The only thought left in my head was how I was going to take the girl standing in front of me.
"What's this? You were so shy earlier, and now you're fully prepped?"
She giggled as she came in, something that looked like a blanket bunched in her hands.
"What's that?"
"Ah! Even I figured the bare floor would hurt. I brought the mat I use when I sleep over here sometimes."
It was never going to be as soft as a real bed, but it was a sleeping mat. Infinitely better than the floor.
"Nice. Give it here."
I snatched it from her, shoved the chairs aside, and had it spread out in seconds.
"Someone's impatient."
"How could I not be?"
I pulled her down onto it in one motion.
"Kyah...!"
The towel went flying. Her freshly washed body — warm, soft, completely bare — was right there.
"Hahh..."
I dropped my head and buried my face between her breasts. They were B-cups, so lying down there wasn't much of a valley to speak of, but the feel of them alone was more than enough.
"You just got out of the shower. Why are you already this wet and sticky down here?"
I left a dirty mark on her chest and slid a hand down, rubbing at her pussy. She'd just washed, and she was already soaked — ready to take a cock. I huffed a quiet laugh.
"Nnhh... w-well... I was really looking forward to it..."
"Did you touch yourself in the bathroom?"
"A little...?"
She must have been worked up from the second we'd agreed to do this. She'd even gotten herself off a little in the shower.
"How many times did you come?"
I left mark after mark across her chest, rolling her other nipple under my fingers. The hand between her legs brushed lightly around her clit.
"Hngh, ah, nnhh... t-twice..."
It must have been a lot — she was already trembling, filthy little moans spilling out of her.
