The Hearing and Kang A-jin's Naked Dogeza
The atmosphere in the office was heavy.
Jang Eun-ha and Lee Han-seok, both fully dressed, sat side by side at the table where they usually shared meals, looking for all the world like a pair of criminals awaiting judgment. Across from them sat Kang A-jin, while Secretary Kim stood with her hands planted on her hips, glaring daggers at the two "defendants."
"At the office, of all places... and since this morning, no less... Boss, is this really happening?"
Jang Eun-ha blinked, her eyes darting back and forth between Secretary Kim and Kang A-jin, her expression practically screaming, What? What did we do wrong?
Kang A-jin forced a deliberate smile.
"I'm fine, personally. You're both adults, so it happens, I suppose. I'm sure you had no idea I was standing outside the door. But..."
She turned her gaze to Secretary Kim.
"What I don't understand is this. You knew Secretary Kim was right outside the door — and you opened it anyway, so casually, like it was the most natural thing in the world."
Now three people sat in a row across from Kang A-jin, looking every bit like criminals.
Kang A-jin nodded slowly as she spoke.
"So, to confirm — you were checking the effects of a drug the company developed, and to do that, the two of you... did what you did?
Secretary Kim had no idea Dr. Jang was also sleeping with you, Boss.
And you, Boss, deliberately opened the door naked so that she would find out Dr. Jang was involved as well."
Han-seok, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"That's right. It's a brand-new compound, so we wanted to verify it internally before moving on to full-scale clinical trials. Doing it with these two... well, the more participants, the more varied the data. Sorry for the surprise."
Jang Eun-ha folded her hands on the table and spoke with complete seriousness.
"For the record, this was my first time with the Boss today. And I would ask you to take into account that there was no intent on the Boss's part to sexually harass A-jin."
Secretary Kim asked, "Dr. Jang, you received BD when you were young, so why did you sleep with the Boss? I'm having trouble under—"
"While I was analyzing the semen sample the Boss had brought back after sleeping with you, Secretary Kim, there was an accident and it went off into my mouth, so..."
"Ah..."
Han-seok murmured, "What an incredible coincidence."
"Yes. Quite an unexpected accident."
Jang Eun-ha, who had been so composed moments ago, suddenly looked flustered. Apparently she had no intention of admitting that her scientific curiosity had driven her to swallow a man's semen outright.
Kang A-jin looked between the three of them.
"But what does having received BD have to do with running that experiment?"
Secretary Kim shot Han-seok a meaningful look. Han-seok reluctantly nodded.
Secretary Kim explained, "She agreed to participate in the trials on the condition that she'd be given one BD40 injection per year, for five years."
"I'm sorry — what?"
Kang A-jin's eyes went wide.
Medical experts claimed that five BD40 injections could produce effects equivalent to a single BD200. Two hundred and eighty years of life. It meant living a life entirely unlike anything anyone knew now.
Most of modern humanity lived trapped in a vicious cycle — borrowing money to get their BD injections, then working themselves to death for the extra years just to pay it off.
And now, right in front of her eyes, was an opportunity that might break that cycle once and for all.
Kang A-jin nodded, her face darkening.
"I see... so that's how it was."
"Boss, A-jin too—"
Secretary Kim turned to look at Han-seok.
"Not her."
Kang A-jin's head snapped up. "Wh-why not? You just said it's better to test with more people—"
"Do you even know what kind of experiment it is?"
"It's just... sex, isn't it?"
"If it were just sex, why wouldn't I have taken you on back at the officetel, when you were doing that job? Is it because the value you're expected to deliver is different now? You're going to work far harder than you can imagine — hard enough to feel like every won of it was earned. It's more dangerous than it looks."
"Ha-in-unnie and Dr. Jang are both doing it. Why can't I—"
"You're too young."
"I'm an adult too."
"Do you think I hand out BD to just anybody?"
Han-seok shot to his feet and disappeared into his private office.
Just... anybody.
Kang A-jin's heart plummeted.
He knows. He knows I'm Kang Jae-hoon's daughter.
Late at night.
Lee Han-seok's office at DB Pharmaceuticals sat in darkness. The only light came from the shower room off to one side.
Shhhhhhhhh.
Kang A-jin scrubbed the foam over her body, then turned on the water. The suds slid down the curves of her beautiful form and washed away.
What's wrong with me, of all people?
She wiped the steam from the mirror. Pale, flawless skin; not tall, a little thin, but with a chest and hips that were unmistakably well-proportioned. In the mirror stood a girl anyone would call attractive.
Kang A-jin remembered.
"How about it? I'll even take your cum in my mouth."
She remembered how, the first time she met Lee Han-seok, when she'd flashed a hint of what was under her clothes, his eyes had gone straight to it. How he'd openly ogled her ass while she wiped semen off the floor with a rag. He'd even left his business card, telling her to come to his company.
Looking back now, his goal had been obvious all along. He'd planned to offer her BD40 and bring her into the clinical trials.
And then—
Kang Jae-hoon.
She'd learned that the man who had once tried to kill her boss with a knife — Kang Jae-hoon — was her own biological father.
Nearly a month had passed since she'd joined the company. Why had he kept her out of the experiment all this time?
Because he found out I'm Kang Jae-hoon's daughter. That's the only answer.
Lee Han-seok, even when he seemed to laze around, caught every one of Secretary Kim's mistakes with uncanny precision and ordered them corrected. A ruthlessly thorough man who already knew everything, yet would still ask the other party just to confirm.
A man who buys buildings the way ordinary people buy ten-thousand-won clothes off the street.
Rich, meticulous — of course he would have looked into her parents and family background.
Of course he did.
Kang Jae-hoon, you son of a bitch. How does a man called "father" do nothing but wreck his own daughter's life? How does it happen. Every single time. Every! Single! Time!
She let out a long sigh. Lee Han-seok had been about to offer her BD, then withdrawn the plan the moment he learned she was Kang Jae-hoon's daughter. That was the only way Kang A-jin could make sense of the situation.
It's just sex, anyway. It's not like I'd be treated as a sex slave. It's not like I'd fall so hard for him that I'd spend all day thinking about nothing but sleeping with him... right?
When I get older, when I get a boyfriend, I'd end up doing it eventually anyway. And this way I could live a long, long time.
Just then—
Knock, knock.
Someone rapped on the shower room door. A-jin flinched in surprise. A human silhouette appeared against the frosted glass panel.
"A-jin, are you in there?"
"B-Boss? Is that you?"
"Yeah. I texted that I'd stop by for a bit, but you never answered. I left something in the office I need to grab — and I figured I should warn you first in case you suddenly came out. Sorry for startling you."
"No, it's... it's fine."
"See you tomorrow."
The silhouette vanished. A-jin stared at the mirror.
She had made up her mind a long time ago. She would never, never live like Kang Jae-hoon. The man who had raped her mother to conceive her, the man who had hounded her mother all the way to suicide. She swore she would never live trapped in the same cycle of life, born from a father who was less than human, spending her years sucking off dirty old men like a friend catching a disease.
And if, with nothing to her name, she was doomed to suck someone's cock regardless—
then she would rather suck a premium one.
Kang A-jin opened the shower room door and stepped out, completely naked.
Lee Han-seok, reviewing documents under the light of his desk lamp, looked up at her.
"Gyaah! Hey — what the hell are you doing?!"
Han-seok averted his eyes. A-jin padded toward him with the sinuous, feline grace of a cat in heat.
"Mister."
"..."
"You wanted to fuck me, didn't you? That's why you told me to come to the company in the first place, right?"
She stopped directly in front of him. Water still trailing down the valley of her breasts gathered at the tips of her nipples, then dripped to the floor. Behind the two of them, the night lights of Seoul glittered through the window.
A-jin clenched her fists. Her voice trembled, thick with tears.
"Mister. I'm sorry that... that my father is Kang Jae-hoon."
"You..."
Han-seok looked at her. Tears were streaming down her face. The proud little kitten moved slowly — very slowly — then sank to her knees before him, and in the nude, pressed her forehead to the floor in a full dogeza. Her pristine young breasts were crushed against the filthy floor, spilling out to either side.
"I'll work hard. I can do it well. Think of it as your revenge on Kang Jae-hoon — use me however you want. Please."
The silence stretched long and heavy. At last, a thick hand lifted A-jin back to her feet. Han-seok draped his coat over her bare shoulders, then raised her chin with his index finger, making her meet his eyes.
"Kang A-jin. Given the nature of the experiment, I can't tell you in advance what the drug is. What I can tell you is this: it's a contraceptive-based compound. You'll have to take my semen — in your pussy, your mouth, across your whole body. And I'll be observing every change that happens to you. Can you do that?"
A-jin nodded.
"Now that you've made me remember Kang Jae-hoon exists — something I'd managed to forget — I can't let that bastard go. I'll hunt him down and make him suffer until the day he dies. Any objection?"
The corners of A-jin's mouth curled upward.
"If he's hard to find, just say the word. I'll give you his address. Take my revenge for me — and for my mother, too."
Han-seok caressed her cheek.
"You're all healed up now."
"Boss?"
"Yeah?"
"When it's just the two of us... can I keep calling you Mister, like now?"
"Sure, why not."
"Mister... I'm pretty, aren't I?"
"If I answer that, you'll start crawling all over me. So no comment."
A-jin beamed.
