Chapter Title: The Newlywed Housewarming

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

"You want to have a housewarming party?"

"Yes. We haven't had one since we got married. I want to do it. Right, Byung-joo?"

"It's not that I mind doing it, but we've been married for over half a year already. Doing it now feels a bit out of left field."

"That's exactly why we should do it before it gets any later!"

"Alright, alright, I get it. But who are you planning to invite?"

"Deputy Manager Yi Hyunwoo!"

"What?!"

Whether it was from enjoying the beach with her friends or done on purpose, her wife’s face, glowing with a healthy tan, felt a little unfamiliar to Lee Byung-joo.

'That... tan line...'

A stark white bikini mark stood out clearly on her shoulders, proof she'd tanned in a bikini.

She must have drawn every man's gaze on the beach wearing that.

'She probably got hit on too. Nothing happened with those guys, right?'

He wasn't suspicious of his wife for going to the beach with friends, but the red marks scattered across her nape and shoulders kept nagging at him.

'No... it's probably just some skin irritation from the sunburn...'

Still, Lee Byung-joo said nothing to Seo Jin-ah. He couldn't. Ever since she'd caught him secretly filming her, she'd been completely furious with him.

If she hadn't approached him first about the housewarming, they probably wouldn't have spoken at all for a while.

But inviting Yi Hyunwoo to their housewarming? Byung-joo, who had watched him and his partner Kim Ji-na having sex just yesterday, felt more than a little unsettled.

"I didn't realize. Were you and Hyunwoo that close?"

"Yes. Back when he was on the Management Support Team, he always took good care of us with supplies and office items. I couldn't even buy him lunch when we sent out our wedding invitations, so this is the perfect chance."

'What do I do?'

It left a bad taste in his mouth. No, Yi Hyunwoo actually made him uncomfortable. It was true that Byung-joo had asked for it first, but Hyunwoo was the reason things had soured with his wife.

'If I refuse... we'll be in a cold war for a while.'

Maybe this was her extending an olive branch first. Perhaps she was being considerate, using the housewarming as an excuse to forgive him naturally?

"Haa... Fine. Set a date and let me know."

He'd never really had a choice to begin with. Complicated thoughts swirled in his head, but there was nothing he could do.

"Yesss~ Thank you, Byung-joo."

The first smile she'd given him since the hidden camera incident. Picturing her radiant face and the full breasts straining against her top, Byung-joo felt a slight stir of excitement.

'Yeah. We need to make up and get our married life back on track.'

He'd jerked off three times while watching Hyunwoo and Ji-na's steamy outdoor sex. With that kind of condition, he was sure he could have normal relations with his wife like before.

Lee Byung-joo decided to focus only on the positives from here on out.

Would you be able to come to our newlywed home for a housewarming?

A housewarming out of the blue? Who's attending?

Me, Byung-joo, and you, Deputy Manager Lee.

Just the three of us?

Yes.

Hyunwoo nodded at Seo Jin-ah's request, which was simpler than he'd expected.

'What's this about?'

She'd resisted fiercely at first, but in the end, he'd invaded her newlywed home—even their bedroom—and taken her.

Her [Obedience] had plummeted just from stepping into the house; it was a space filled with precious memories she desperately wanted to protect with her husband until the end.

'And now she's suggesting a housewarming there herself?'

Given her behavior so far, it was an odd request.

Revenge against her husband? Possible. Wedding photos or not, filming without consent was illegal.

'Or maybe...'

Hyunwoo checked her status in the Work System's [Female Employee] section. Nothing had changed, of course.

'The amplified [Desire] for intercourse from the Work System, her [Depraved] tendency, maxed-out [Libido], and the new Employment Contract's [Tendency Reinforcement].

Something among these might have shifted her mindset. But right now, nothing was certain.

"Eh, whatever. I'll figure it out when I get there."

Overthinking wasn't his style. He'd just go to the housewarming, see what happened, and read her intentions from there. That was as far as Hyunwoo's thoughts went.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

"Yesss~"

As soon as he rang the doorbell of their newlywed home, Seo Jin-ah opened it right away, as if she'd been waiting.

"Deputy Manager Lee! Come on in."

"Sure. Excuse me."

She'd clearly put a lot of effort into the housewarming. The dining table was laden with appetizing dishes.

"Here, have a seat right here, Deputy Manager Lee."

"Hey, Hyunwoo, good to see you."

"Feels awkward seeing you here again."

"Haha, yeah... You hungry? Let's start with dinner."

Byung-joo gave an awkward smile at the sight of Hyunwoo and sat at the table. The couple sat side by side, leaving the spot across from Jin-ah naturally for Hyunwoo.

'I've back-stabbed her here multiple times, though.'

Seo Jin-ah gripping the table while moaning and taking his cock. Eating a meal here as a trio felt strangely off.

Clink, clink.

"..."

Hyunwoo and Byung-joo weren't particularly close, so an awkward silence hung over the table.

"Oh! I prepared some drinks since you were coming, Deputy Manager Lee."

Thud.

Not liking the awkward vibe, Jin-ah pulled out the whiskey she'd prepared.

"Whoa! This must've cost a pretty penny."

Even Hyunwoo, no whiskey expert, recognized the high-end brand.

"No, no. It's the least I could do for you making time."

"Haha, now I'm embarrassed."

"Then let me pour you a glass."

Glug, glug, glug.

Amber whiskey flowed into the glass with a crisp sound. The aroma hit immediately—expensive liquor really was on another level.

"Here! One for you too, Byung-joo."

"Shall we toast?"

"To the happy married life of you two!"

Clink.

"Kuh..."

The awkward atmosphere thawed quickly as the strong whiskey flowed, one glass after another, ramping up the energy.

"Byung-joo... You're so good to your wife. Where else are you gonna find a woman like this?"

"I know, I know... Don't worry! No one knows better than me."

"Don't tease me like that, Deputy Manager Lee... It's embarrassing, so let's have another shot!"

'Seems like she's pouring extra into Byung-joo's glass.'

He hadn't noticed at first, but she was filling his glass with over twice as much. Hers and Hyunwoo's got just a splash by comparison.

Gulp, gulp.

"Kuhuk!"

Lee Byung-joo downed a hefty pour of whiskey in one go. Chugging 40-proof like soju—no wonder he was getting ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠smashed.

"Deputy Manager Lee's glass is empty. Let me pour~"

Jin-ah stood and slid into the seat beside Hyunwoo. Their shoulders pressed together as she poured with coquettish flair, like a lounge girl.

"Ah, thanks, sister-in-law, haha."

'Heh heh heh... This is fun.'

Reading her intentions from her actions, Hyunwoo decided to play along.

"Huh? Jin-ah, when'd you move next to Hyunwoo? You two seem awfully close."

"Hmph, we've always been close. Right, Deputy Manager Lee?"

She boldly hooked her arm through his, right in front of her husband. The soft give of her breasts pressed unmistakably against his arm through her thin blouse.

"Hmm... Aren't you a bit too clingy?"

Byung-joo muttered, displeased by the sight.

"Oh? Jealous? My jealous Byung-joo needs another shot."

Glug, glug, glug.

"Bottoms up!"

"Kuuuh..."

'I've only had a few, right? Why am I this drunk?'

Six glasses? That should've been fine for his tolerance, but the buzz kept pulling his eyelids down.

'Am I usually this weak?'

He could've handled it normally, but Jin-ah had slyly increased the pour size bit by bit, so he'd ingested far more alcohol than he realized.

The wide glasses with big ice cubes made it hard to gauge unless you stared—especially as you got drunker.

"Ahn, say ahh, Deputy Manager Lee."

The more out of it Byung-joo got, the bolder Jin-ah became, feeding Hyunwoo bites of side dish herself. They looked like a couple.

"Jin-ah... you..."

His wife was glued to Hyunwoo. He wanted to say something, but the dizziness kept his body from cooperating.

Squish.

"Ahng... Deputy Manager Lee."

Hyunwoo's right hand slid naturally behind her back, fingers dipping under her armpit. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠He pulled her into his lap, her breast filling his grip effortlessly.

"Hyunwoo... you bastard..."

"Stop... just stop it... for real..."

Thud.

Hyunwoo groping his wife. Sober, Byung-joo would've thrown a punch, but the alcohol surged with his rising excitement, and he soon face-planted onto the table.

"Mmmnya... mmm..."

Smooch, smack, smack.

The moment Byung-joo collapsed, Jin-ah, nestled in Hyunwoo's arms, showered him with kisses.

"Uuht... Seo ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Jin-ah... uu-mmm... you okay with that guy?"

"Ahm... Yeah... Byung-joo gets... uu-mmm... weak with whiskey..."

She'd upped the pours gradually, making him drink way past his limit. Knowing this full well, Jin-ah lavished kisses on Hyunwoo.

'Byung-joo won't wake up for a while.'

Smooch, smack, smack.

"Haa... haa..."

Both had drunk whiskey too, so their tongues carried a sweet, lingering aftertaste. Her husband lay passed out right in front of them, yet Jin-ah was locked in a sticky kiss with another man.

"Uup... uung..."

Hyunwoo pushed his saliva into her mouth as if it were the most natural thing.

Gulp.

Jin-ah swallowed his thick saliva without resistance. Mixed with whiskey, it tasted oddly sweet tonight.

Pop.

While kissing, Hyunwoo deftly unbuttoned her blouse.

'Oh ho. No wonder it felt like bare skin.'

As if anticipating this, she'd worn a cupless bra.

Just lace straps below, no cups covering her ample bare breasts, pink nipples dangling pertly in the center—fully exposed.

Hyunwoo had ordered her to buy it before, but he hadn't expected her to wear it voluntarily in her husband's newlywed home.

Squish.

"Haht... hht..."

Just the blouse open, and her full breast filled his hand directly. Squeezing made his fingers sink into the soft flesh. That endless, pudding-like texture never got old.

He'd shown Byung-joo sex with the dolled-up Jin-ah before, but groping her openly like this, right in front of him, felt thrillingly different. Anxiety that Byung-joo might wake mixed with electric thrill.

'This is goooood... too good...'

But Jin-ah savored the peak pleasure more than anyone. She finally understood. That ecstasy she'd felt at the Gyeongpo Beach hotel, with Byung-joo watching—it was this.

'Ah... I wanted to feel this again...'

Without realizing it, she'd become addicted to the mind-melting bliss.

The innocent, elegant wife who'd known only her husband was gone. Now she was a bitch in heat, chasing pleasure even if it meant deceiving her man.

"Haeng... hheut..."

"Eum... eueu..."

Even as his wife let a strange man knead her breasts, Byung-joo remained out cold.
