Chapter Title: I'll Just Be a Bad Guy

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"I'll just be a bad guy. I can't hold back anymore."

I double-checked.

This boulder we were on was the tallest and biggest around, so I could see all the other rocks scattered nearby.

That said, the crevices between boulders of similar size were shrouded in shadows, making some spots hard to make out.

And in one of those spots, a yellow heat haze was rising up.

'No way?'

The reason for that heat, in my mind, was a guy's climax.

That spot was perfect for couples to get intimate, hidden from view.

But there wasn't a sound coming from it. No one going in or out.

Had they already slipped away?

Or was there another reason for the heat?

"Tae-hu."

"Y-yes?"

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

"Look at the sunset over there."

The sun was dipping low, its red glow overtaking the beach.

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Team Leader couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene.

"It's gorgeous."

"I can't even remember the last time I watched a sunset this relaxed."

"Really?"

"It's not easy carving out time like this with my husband."

"Couldn't you just sync up days off like today?"

"He travels so much for work. And I'm swamped too. Lining things up like this isn't simple."

"Makes sense. You're both so capable."

Team Leader drew her knees together and rested her chin on them, gazing at me.

God, she's stunning.

The red light reflected off her face, making her even more radiant.

I held her gaze until the embarrassment hit, and I quickly turned my head aside.

That's when I saw the yellow haze billowing even larger.

Thump! Thump!

Heart, calm down.

What's wrong with you?

Hoo!

I took a deep breath.

My instincts were testing me hard, poking and prodding.

What if I took Team Leader into that heat...?

Immense curiosity and towering anticipation were shaking me to the core.

That's why my heart was pounding like mad.

'No. Snap out of it.'

She's my bro's wife.

He's the guy I like most, and she's the Team Leader I respect.

To even think of doing that to her... that's beastly!

Sorry to him too!

I tried shoving those thoughts down to suppress my instincts.

But the pleasure I'd felt with Lee Eun-ae in that space wouldn't fade from my mind.

'What about Team Leader...?'

Ugh! You psycho!

Why keep thinking that?!

Am I really corrupted?

Just imagining it was making blood rush down there.

No, it's surging.

I quickly crossed my legs and covered myself with both hands.

That's when.

"Huh? Someone's up there."

"Yeah."

A couple nearby was chatting as they climbed up to our boulder.

Team Leader caught my eye and said,

"We've seen plenty. Shall we let them have it?"

She's so gracious.

"Sure. Where to next?"

"Over there."

"Pardon?"

Over there...?

"Lead the way again, Tae-hu."

"Team Leader, you mean that spot?"

"Yeah. It's quiet and nice. Not visible from here, so we can watch the sunset comfortably."

"......"

The space thick with heat haze.

That's exactly where she was pointing—the yellow glow between those sizable boulders.

You really couldn't see between them from here.

It was getting dark, and the rocks blocked the view.

The perfect secret hideaway.

Heading ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠there alone with her...

"What are you waiting for? Let's go."

"Y-yes!"

I stammered a reply and shot to my feet.

I shoved my half-hard dick to the side of my pants to hide it.

"Hold my hand."

"Thanks."

I took Team Leader's hand and we climbed down; the couple headed up.

"Sorry, we held it up."

"No worries. We were leaving anyway."

As we walked away, their conversation drifted over on the breeze.

"Bro, don't those two make a perfect couple?"

"Yeah, surprised me. Guy's handsome, girl's got a killer figure."

"What? Were you checking out her body?"

"N-no! I wasn't!"

A little spat broke out, making me flush for no reason.

"Heh. Guess we look like a couple."

Team Leader's smile set my heart racing again.

"That's 'cause you're so young and beautiful, Team Leader. Even with a young punk like me, you hold your own."

"Huh? Pfft! True that."

"Makes me feel good too. Being seen as your boyfriend? Boosts a guy's ego big time."

"What're you saying? I'm just some ajumma."

"For real. You look super young."

"My husband's always saying that."

"All guys see you that way."

"Hahaha. You sure know how to make someone feel good, Tae-hu."

"Intern life taught me that skill."

Her smile ramped up my tension even more.

No guard up at all, and that yellow haze drawing closer—it sparked this inexplicable anticipation.

"Hold up, Tae-hu."

Gasp!

I turned back as she spoke.

Sway—

I faced Team Leader head-on as she bent to pick up trash.

Her massive breasts jiggled wildly.

Oh, God.

This time, I couldn't look away—I just stared openly.

"People have no shame. Littering in a place like this."

She overtook me, picking up more trash.

'Holy crap.'

Her perfect rear view hit me then.

I'm losing it.

Her ass spilling out the sides of her bikini bottoms, those firm, toned thighs—insanely sexy.

That thin ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠fabric barely covering her from behind spiked my arousal to the max.

"Tae-hu, anything else to grab?"

"Bag over there."

I snatched the black bag and dumped her trash in it.

She kept picking up litter ahead of me, treating my eyes the whole way.

Just nudge that fabric aside and...

I followed her rear to the spot where ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠the yellow haze rose.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

My thumping heart now hammered like a mallet.

What'll happen in here?

Will Team Leader turn out like Lee Eun-ae?

That anticipation drenched my body in excitement.

"Wow, great view here too. Tae-hu, look over there."

"Yeah, beautiful."

Team Leader.

"Shall we sit there? Looks good."

I went to the spot she pointed at and stripped off my top.

It looked a bit dirty, sure.

But stepping into the haze, I suddenly wanted to look good for her.

I spread my shirt where she'd sit.

"Sit here."

"...You didn't have to."

"It's manners."

Surprisingly.

Team Leader's eyes flicked over my chest and abs.

Quick glance, but she definitely looked—then averted her gaze.

That little move heated my breath even more.

I can't hold back anymore.

I needed her info, at least.

I quickly pulled up her info window.

****

I was stunned by the info window.

It perfectly captured the Team Leader I knew.

Strict and stern, yet warm.

Her favorability toward me was a shock.

I'd always felt her smiles meant she liked me, and it wasn't wishful thinking.

'All that hard work paid off!'

And the corruption level blew my mind.

12% without doing a thing?

Shocked it could rise without contact.

And that she found me so cute? Thrilling.

26 minutes left too.

No clue on the mechanics yet, but plenty of time to hope.

Though her lust at 68 means I need to ramp it up faster.

'How?'

Reason and instinct still at war, I looked at Team Leader.

She quietly took in the sunset.

Making up for the healing time interrupted by that couple, just staring at the red sky.

Stealing glances at her profile made my blood race.

Splash—splash—

Even the waves crashing on the rocks sounded lewd.

Am I in heat?

Just be a bad guy?

"So refreshing here. Shade, good breeze."

"No people either."

"Yeah. The quiet makes it better. Yawn!"

She stretched, arms up high.

Her smooth, shaved underarms caught my eye.

Her breasts bounced with the motion.

I stared openly until our eyes met again.

She held her hair lightly with raised hands, beaming at me.

That smile steeled my resolve.

I'm a bad guy.

Just hoping something happens here makes me one.

But bro.

'I'll just be a bad guy.'

I can't hold back. No way.

How could I?
