The Weight of a Twisted Vow
Han Sujin was in Lee Han’s office, adjusting the device. With practiced, trembling hands, she secured the apparatus against her groin before meticulously smoothing out her clothes.
"Was it alright last time?" Lee Han asked out of the blue.
Han Sujin glanced at him, her expression curt. "It was fine."
"Don't worry. I’ve made thorough preparations for you." A faint smile played on Lee Han’s lips.
Seeing that look made Han Sujin’s stomach churn. She let out a long sigh and snapped, "What are you going to demand this time?"
Lee Han seemed pleased by her submissive attitude. He nodded slowly and suggested, "If you feel like you're in danger during your patrol, send me a signal immediately. I’ll run over right away to support you."
"Support me? To do what?" Han Sujin asked, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.
"I’ll escort you. If you aren't feeling well, you’ll need to rest immediately... When that happens, would you rather go home, or come here to the office?"
Han Sujin fell into thought. If she went home, she could rest comfortably. Furthermore, she had already let this man into her home once before, so she felt no particular resistance to the idea.
"...Home would be better."
"Understood." Lee Han nodded with satisfaction. "Then, if a situation like last time arises, tell me immediately."
Watching Lee Han’s back as he strode out of the office, Han Sujin was overcome by a strange sense of unease. Something didn't sit right. But she soon shook her head, casting the thought aside. She had no other choice now.
The moment she left the office and flipped the switch, Han Sujin realized something was wrong. The intensity was on an entirely different level than the stimulation she had endured until now. She gritted her teeth, trying to hold on as she followed Lee Han, but the vibrations were so powerful that they were nearly impossible to bear.
"Ugh..."
A moan escaped her lips before she could stop it. But since she was already outside the office, Han Sujin bit her lip, trembling as she swallowed her anger.
"What on earth are you doing?" Han Sujin snapped at Lee Han, suppressing her rage. But he turned back with an innocent face.
"Pardon? What’s the matter?"
"You changed the device, didn't you? Why on earth would you do that?"
"What? I thought it was the same machine... That’s strange, isn't it?"
Han Sujin ground her teeth at Lee Han’s feigned ignorance. Fury surged at the fact that she had been deceived once again. But now was not the time to show such emotions. Barely maintaining her composure, Han Sujin spoke with difficulty.
"I can't patrol like this. It’s much stronger than before."
At those words, Lee Han nodded as if he understood perfectly. "I see. Then it would be best to head home quickly. Don't you think?"
Even as he spoke, a sinister smile lingered on his lips. Han Sujin turned away with a miserable heart. With a heavy sigh, she gritted her teeth and trudged forward.
Watching her back, Lee Han could not hide his satisfied smile. He followed Han Sujin with a predatory gaze, as if watching prey slowly get caught in his net.
Han Sujin tried desperately to endure the intensified vibrations. But the stimulation being inflicted on her lower abdomen was unlike anything she had endured before. With every step she took, her legs tangled and buckled.
"Are you alright?" Lee Han’s voice came from behind. Distracted by the throbbing in her lower abdomen, Han Sujin turned to glare at him sharply. But unable to say a word, she gritted her teeth and hurried her pace.
Heat began to spread through her entire body. Her mind grew increasingly hazy. At that moment, she wanted to let go of everything and just lie down on the street. She wanted to cut the strings she was tethered to and be liberated from everything.
Just then, Lee Han approached and supported her side. When she looked up at him with blurred vision, he shook his head slowly. Then, he pointed his finger at the floor.
Han Sujin’s eyes widened. She realized her mistake. Due to the stimulation that had pushed past her limits, the uncontrollable arousal fluid was running down her thighs and dripping onto the floor.
Her face flushed bright red in an instant. Biting her lip, she leaned her body against Lee Han. She was too ashamed to even speak.
Lee Han held her body firmly and began to walk toward her home. Supporting her as she half-collapsed, he wore a sinister smile.
As she dragged her feet, led along by Lee Han, Han Sujin’s mind was filled with nothing but terror. She was terrified of the sensation of her damp lower abdomen and the gaze Lee Han directed at it.
Upon arriving at Han Sujin’s home, Lee Han carefully laid her on the sofa. Contrary to what Han Sujin had feared, Lee Han kept his promise; he began to remove her clothes and clean her up. After removing her wet underwear and skirt, he meticulously wiped her genitals and thighs with tissues.
However, to Han Sujin, his touch was like torture. Her body, already heated by the intense stimulation, shuddered every time Lee Han’s fingers brushed against her. A dizzying pleasure wrapped around her entire body, and she couldn't help but let out a moan.
Gritting her teeth, Han Sujin swallowed her misery. It was so humiliating that her body reacted regardless of her will. She was terrified of herself, becoming accustomed to this man’s touch. Even though he was just cleaning her up, she was terrified by the way her entire body heated up wherever his touch reached.
Lee Han finished cleaning up without a word. Then, he stood up and left the room. Han Sujin squeezed her eyes shut, trying to avoid meeting his gaze.
"I’ll be going now."
With Lee Han’s parting words, the sound of the front door closing echoed. Han Sujin felt a sense of regret at the lingering excitement in her body, but she considered it a relief. What might have happened if things had gone further?
Lying limp on the sofa, Han Sujin tried to shake off Lee Han’s lingering touch. She gritted her teeth and endured the heat. Soon, she staggered toward the bathroom. She stood under the cold stream of water. Cooling her heated skin, she struggled to erase Lee Han from her mind.
But his touch did not fade easily. It felt as vivid as if it were etched into her skin. In despair, Han Sujin sat down in the bathtub and sobbed. Would the day ever come when this nightmare ended? Writhing in agony, she felt as though her future was shrouded in total darkness.
***
That night, Han Sujin lay beside Park Taeyoung. She buried her body, still radiating heat, under the blankets. Her body, heated by the incident with Lee Han, showed no signs of cooling down. Perhaps it was because she hadn't reached the end that she felt this way.
Han Sujin desperately wished for Park Taeyoung to hold her. She wanted to cover the traces Lee Han had left with the touch of her beloved. She felt as though she could forget everything if she were within his embrace.
"Honey..."
She whispered softly and moved toward Park Taeyoung. Her love for him welled up endlessly. She wanted him with all her heart. But all that returned was the sound of his rhythmic breathing. He was already fast asleep. Perhaps today had been a difficult day for him as well.
Han Sujin swallowed her bitterness. It would be greedy to wake her exhausted husband. She tried to understand, but a sense of resentment welled up inside her. How did she end up in this situation? A sense of despair weighed her down.
In the end, Han Sujin fell asleep while only looking at her husband’s broad back. It was a night spent holding onto loneliness, her body still heated by desire. The heat buried under the blankets showed no signs of fading, and the regret in a corner of her heart did not easily subside.
Why did she have to endure this alone on a night like this? Sighing, Han Sujin tossed and turned.
This night, when she couldn't lean on Park Taeyoung, felt particularly long. She was terrified that the scars left by Lee Han would only deepen. The fragments of her crumbling self-esteem seemed to slice through her drying heart.
Even though she was with her beloved husband, Han Sujin felt a great emptiness. Her heart, wavering between despair and regret, would not let her sleep. Filled with deep sighs, she wondered what to do about this nightmarish reality.
As the morning sun gently seeped into the bedroom, Han Sujin awoke to the sound of her husband preparing for work. Park Taeyoung was buttoning his shirt when he looked at his wife and smiled apologetically.
"Honey, I must have been so tired yesterday. I fell asleep right away. I'm sorry."
Her heart melted at his sincere apology. Yesterday’s resentment vanished like snow in the sun. If anything, her husband, who felt sorry, looked even more lovable.
"It’s okay, honey. You were tired, too. I understand."
With a smile, she approached him and buttoned his shirt. At that moment, something seemed to resolve within Han Sujin’s heart. The thought that she just had to endure all of this. She felt as though she could do anything for her beloved husband.
'That’s right, everything I’m doing is for Taeyoung. It’s a means to protect our happiness...'
She rationalized that her relationship with Lee Han was also something she was enduring for her future with Park Taeyoung. She considered it another cross she had to bear. She firmly believed that all of this was to protect the one she loved.
The more intense her affection for Park Taeyoung became, the more Han Sujin struggled to justify her actions. She made a vow bordering on obsession, swearing to stake everything on her love for her husband.
Once the front door closed, she let out a deep sigh, suppressing her complex emotions. The more she tried to rationalize her actions, the more she couldn't shake the feeling that something was twisted. Nevertheless, Han Sujin decided to believe that it was the right thing to do. Believing that this path was the only hope to protect her husband’s future and her own.
