CH 35

“Sit comfortably. I’ll be done soon.”

When I asked why he stayed late at work, he said it was because he was working overtime. I turned down the offer to go home first and followed him up to the ninth floor. I’d like to leave work together. My resignation is due in less than a week. We only have a few days to go to work together. Besides, tomorrow is Saturday.

I’m looking around Director Lee’s office for no reason, and he smiles at me. He looks at me even when he is sitting and even when he is reading the documents. I really like his dimple.

“Why aren’t you concentrating? You have to concentrate on the documents so we can go home quickly.”

I’m smiling as I said that.

I heard a grunt while going through the books and my phone, waiting for Director Lee. Director Lee is pressing his forehead with his palm. He takes a pill from the desk and swallows it.

“Are you sick?”

“I think my rut will come soon.”

Director Lee turned his gaze back to the documents as if nothing had happened. The tips of his ears became hot in an instant. Rut? His rut is coming?

His rut is coming.

I’ve been waiting for this moment.

Director Lee is a careful person. He is gentle and calm, so he does not thoughtlessly touch me. We’ve simply held hands so far. Maybe if I die and bury myself, only my hands will wear away first. We haven’t even kissed. We’ve been dating for a month. One whole month. For about 30 days, we met almost every day.

Director Lee is thoughtful and looks after me. I’m not sure how the fact that I’m a Beta got to Director Lee, because he treats me as if I were porcelain. He seems to think that he is always doing good and giving for my sake. I’m just a regular Beta, not a cultural asset. Director Lee is there to serve me, not to date. I’m not sure if I’m showing Director Lee enough love right now.

I closed the book, as I can’t read it anymore.

No, I really don’t think it makes sense to just kiss. To be honest, I’m a well-prepared person. I have been buying multiple types of mouthwash since the week we started dating. Thanks to my purchases, I received a free gift. But the mouthwash really only did the job of keeping my mouth clean.

Hey, Mr, Lee.

Your rut is approaching. I can’t afford to miss this opportunity. I remembered my porn collection. I spent a lot of time researching for the day with Director Lee because I never knew when he’d get into a rut. It’s an opportunity for me to express how much I like Director Lee. I’m a Beta, but I’ll take care of your rut. Please trust me. I will satisfy you! The work disease of the service profession wriggled within me.

Eum, it’s the work disease. I opened the book again. My face is hot. Just what I was thinking at work. Anyway, people don’t know. I don’t know, so I’ll prepare for it. It’s safe and sound. It’s a safe bet.

“Joo-hyuk-ssi.”

“Yes!”

Nervous, I replied almost in a scream. Director Lee looks at me in surprise.

“Are you okay?”

I’m okay except that I want to kiss you right now.

“When are you done?”

“I’m almost done.”

When he was almost finished, Director Lee did not take his eyes off the documents. Look at me, look at me, look at me.

Even though I’m bored, I kept staring at him, and Director Lee noticed my gaze belatedly. A vein is bulging in the hand that puts the papers to one side. He rested his chin on his palm and looked at me without saying a word, so I came closer. I sat down on the desk. I leaned toward him. Director Lee is staring at me.

“Are you very busy?”

Director Lee smiled. He got up from his seat and stretched out his hand towards my face.

“I’m busy.”

I took Director Lee’s hand wrapped around my cheek and closed my eyes. I felt Director Lee approaching slowly. Director Lee’s breath. Am I breathing now? I opened my eyes slightly. Director Lee is looking at me. His eyes are pitch black. A small office with only Director Lee and me. The glass walls, the city scenery, everything is like a dream. My mind is floating.

Director Lee’s lips touched mine. Rather than excitement, I felt a sense of accomplishment that I had finally done it. This is more than just a kiss. This obviously goes to a deep kiss. It’s not a joke. One month! I had to wait a month. I pulled Director Lee’s tie. It seems that Director Lee made a sound, but that doesn’t matter.

I bit his lips with my open mouth. Director Lee’s mouth widens. I fought the kiss vigorously. I sucked Director Lee’s tongue into my mouth. Director Lee supported my back. I sucked and let it go again. And sucked his tongue again. I couldn’t rest for a moment. Director Lee raised his eyebrows and smiled ambiguously as he bit my lower lip. I didn’t know it before, but Director Lee looks lewd.

“Uhm…”

Director Lee patted my neck. His thumb presses against my neck. At some point, I lost control. When Director Lee licked up the roof of my mouth, the strength in my lower back wavered. I would have stumbled if Director Lee had not supported me at that moment.

Director Lee continued to caress my face. He caresses my cheek and the back of my neck. I also wrapped my arm around Director Lee’s neck. My legs drew up against the desk. There was a sound of something falling, but I pretended I didn’t hear it. Director Lee opened his mouth as if about to swallow me. A little more would be dangerous. My eyes welled up with tears. I want to do more, but my pants are becoming increasingly uncomfortable. I’d like to do more. I shifted my gaze to the side. Director Lee retreated reluctantly.

“Are you busy, Joo-hyuk-ssi?”

Director Lee’s lips are moist. His tie was twisted a bit because I grabbed it. Director Lee’s chest rose and fell. Both of us are out of breath. Director Lee untied his tie and tossed it to the floor. Wow. While Director Lee held my waist, I unbuttoned his shirt, which was fully buttoned.

“No.”

I’m not busy at all.

I ran my hand from the outside in, as if stroking a lion’s mane. With my fingertips, I can feel the vibration in Director Lee’s neck. Doing more is dangerous. Whatever.

“Director, I posted an approval, and please contact me as soon as possible.”

“Woah! Arghh! Ahh!”

I pushed Director Lee and jumped like a carp. He almost flew. He must have flown. I jumped off the desk, which made my ankles tingle. Director Lee, who was pushed by me, sat down helplessly. I covered my face.

“Joo-hyuk-ssi?”

It’s Section Chief Lee.

“Section Chief?”

“Joo-hyuk-ssi is here. Joo-hyuk-ssi…”

Section Chief Lee’s expression is strange. No, that’s it. No, that’s it. Now my legs are tingling. Director Lee opened his mouth while coughing.

“Give it to me and go now. Thanks for your work.”

“Yes. I will go.”

Section Chief Lee, who handed the file to Director Lee, took a step closer to me. Don’t come. Please don’t come.

“Joo-hyuk’s pants…”

Blood rushed to my head. I’m about to explode. I crouched down straight away. I covered my legs with a jacket. There is nowhere to look. When I opened my eyes, I saw Section Chief Lee’s trousers.

“There are papers on your pants.”

Ah.

Ah?

There really is. An A4 sheet of paper was crumpled between my crotch. Section Chief Lee tapped my shoulder.

“I will go home first.”

“Go home safely.”

Section Chief Lee greeted me with a wink before leaving the office. It’s okay, that’s just the way it looked. No, it’s not okay. It’s not okay at all. I feel like crying.

When I got up, Director Lee was bowing his head with both hands on his forehead. It seems that Director Lee is also shocked.

“Director, wake up. Hurry up, finish your work, and go home.”

I’m going home.

“…”

“Director?”

When I touched Director Lee’s shoulder, his warm body temperature almost seared my hand.

“Director? Director!”

“Leave, leave work first…”

It’s his rut.
