Chapter 180 - Conversation with Soo-hyun
Knock knock-
"It's Su-hyeon. May I come in?"
The earlier situation, where Hayoung had nearly lost her mind and caused a major incident, had been settled. Now that she was calm, Su-hyeon was knocking on Minseo's door.
Geez... Hayoung-nim is too impatient.
Even if Minseo was being proactive, to lose her mind like that... has she been bottling up too much sexual desire?
Su-hyeon was lost in thought, waiting for an answer from beyond the door.
Of course, it was only natural for her heart to pound whenever she saw Minseo, who treated her with such kindness and smiled at her brightly like a child.
She'd often felt her cheeks flush and a bit of lust, after all.
But still... it wasn't to the point of losing one's reason like Hayoung-nim, was it? Su-hyeon worried that Hayoung-nim was losing her sanity too easily.
She was certain she would never lose her reason so easily.
Having been emotionally dull since childhood, it wasn't easy for her to lose her mind and have her eyes glaze over unless there was significant stimulation.
That's what she'd thought. Until a few minutes ago.
As Su-hyeon was lost in thought, Minseo's voice came from beyond the door.
"Yes. Please come in."
Creak-
As she opened the door and entered, she saw Minseo sitting on the bed in disheveled attire, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
He was wearing pajamas, and he must have tossed and turned quite a bit, as his pajama top was pulled to the left, clearly revealing his white, smooth shoulder.
"Um... may I take a picture?"
"Pardon?"
"Never mind."
The executives were gradually acting stranger and stranger.
"By any chance, would you like some tea?"
"Tea?"
"Yes. I thought it would be good for you to rest while drinking some chamomile tea."
Su-hyeon offered with a very comfortable smile.
The blunt Su-hyeon of the past had long since disappeared.
Now, because of Minseo, she had felt deep down what emotions were and how they worked.
I like you.
That was the exact and certain feeling Su-hyeon was feeling for Minseo right now.
The problem, however, was that she wasn't the only one.
"Hmm... shall we? The scenery is nice, too... it would be perfect for taking a rest."
As Minseo stretched, he walked over, dragging his black pajamas behind him.
Gulp-
Su-hyeon watched him as he approached, and then...
"Eut."
She buttoned up the loose buttons on Minseo's top and said in a low voice.
"You shouldn't keep showing openings. There are many who are targeting you."
Saying that, Su-hyeon pulled up his top... and his white left shoulder was covered.
"Ah. Thank you... but what do you mean by those targeting me..."
Minseo asked, tilting his head...
"You don't want mosquitoes or bugs to swarm around you, do you?"
Like Hayoung's secretary, she smiled while lightly deflecting the question.
"Ah. I see."
Minseo smiled brightly and walked out.
Whew. That was dangerous.
Su-hyeon was startled by her own true feelings that had slipped out, but she immediately smoothed over the crisis with an appropriate response.
.

"The scenery here is truly beautiful."
On the 2nd-floor outdoor terrace, Minseo sipped the chamomile tea Su-hyeon had prepared and looked around.
The wind rustled through the trees, and the view of the vast forest was enough to bring peace of mind.
Is it because it's all green?
I feel like my heart is becoming at ease.
The sound of the grass rustling in the wind is nice, too.
Minseo crossed his legs and smiled contentedly.
Umm...?
But I could feel a gaze from the side, stinging enough to be felt.
When I turned my head, Su-hyeon-ssi was staring at my face intently, with her face slightly flushed.
W-what is it?
Did I do something wrong...?
"By any chance... did I do something wrong...?"
When I asked her with a worried heart,
"Ah, I apologize."
Su-hyeon-ssi lowered her head, perhaps realizing she had been staring too much.
A few seconds of silence passed... and it was Minseo who spoke first.
"Haha. No matter how I think about it, I must have been a well-loved boss. That's a relief."
"Yes...?"
"The look in your eyes when you were staring at me was a bit strange. It wasn't just the look of someone looking at their boss... it felt like it was made up of a somewhat complicated relationship."
Hearing Minseo's words, Su-hyeon flinched, feeling stung.
"So, I pondered what that look could be. Until just now."
"....So, have you reached a conclusion?"
"Yes. At first, it seemed like a look full of affection, but..."
"Cough-"
Su-hyeon coughed at Minseo's words.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yes..."
Su-hyeon answered while hiding her extremely flustered expression, and Minseo continued as he was.
"Su-hyeon-ssi and I aren't in a romantic relationship. If we were, you would have told me already. Then there's only one thing. The heart of cherishing and worrying about a respected boss. Right? Su-hyeon-ssi?"
Minseo looked at Su-hyeon's face with a smile on his lips...
And for some reason, Minseo felt like Su-hyeon-ssi's face looked even redder.
"Y-you're correct."
"Haha. Thank you."
"By the way... do I not have to work?"
Minseo, who was sipping his tea again, said to Su-hyeon with worried eyes.
"Even though I lost my memory... if I can be of help... anything..."
"Ah, if that's the case... could you do this much for me?"
Su-hyeon handed him a piece of paper with a meaningful expression...
"If it helps, of course!"
Minseo took the paper while sipping his tea.
.....
"Cough-!"
This time, Minseo coughed and spat out his tea.
"What is... this... cough-?"
At the very top of the paper Minseo was holding, these words were written:
Below that, along with trivial things like personality, hobbies, values, exercise, disliked foods, and favorite foods...
As one went further down, there were increasingly erotic questions.
Weight, breast size, desired body type, desired sexual position, and so on.
"I-I was just curious..."
"Let's pretend this never happened."
Minseo crumpled the paper, which was already soaked with liquid.
"...Yes."
There was a sense of regret in Su-hyeon's eyes as she answered.
Damn it. I could have found out.
Su-hyeon, who had prepared the questionnaire alone without the other executives knowing... had planned to make changes according to Minseo's answers if he filled it out, but that chance had sailed.
Was I... too impatient?
While Su-hyeon was pondering the cause of her failure...
Rustle-
Flinch-
Su-hyeon flinched. It was because Minseo was gently stroking her hand.
Gulp-
Su-hyeon, who felt aroused just by the touch of his hand... started to have delusions, feeling her vaginal fluid leaking out little by little.
W-what is this...?
The reason he's holding my hand is... could it be... that he wants to have sex with me?
Should I take off my pants now...?
Outdoor play on the terrace might not be bad...
It's not just "not bad," it's actually great.
First, I'll lay Minseo down... and take him once... and in front of the executives, in the reverse position...
Ah, first I need to lock the terrace door...
Su-hyeon, who couldn't understand why Hayoung lost her reason, had now lost her own reason just by holding hands with Minseo.
Completely covered in very dangerous thoughts.
Just when she, having half-lost her reason, decided to undo her belt-
"I'm... sorry..."
Minseo opened his mouth with a trembling voice.
Only then did Su-hyeon slowly lift her head to look at Minseo's face...
His eyes were filled with sadness as he gently stroked her hand.
"Why are you... ah."
Realizing the reason, Su-hyeon shifted her gaze back to her own hand... and soon, her scarred hands were revealed.
When Minseo was unconscious, Su-hyeon, unable to endure the constant auditory hallucinations... had clung to work until she collapsed from exhaustion... and whenever she woke up, she lived buried in work again.
Because Minseo's voice blaming her was so terrifying.
Afraid that he might never wake up from his coma.
Afraid that she would have to live forever hearing his voice full of resentment.
The result of working like a madwoman was... these hands.
Cuts from paper, stabbing herself with a ballpoint pen in her sleep, scratches from filing cabinets... those scars were etched into her hands.
"T-this is..."
"You had a really hard time when I wasn't around, didn't you?"
Although Minseo hadn't heard the exact circumstances properly, he knew this one thing for sure. According to what he heard from Hayoung-ssi, Su-hyeon had been clinging to work like a madwoman.
He didn't know the details of why.
Minseo, who had discovered Su-hyeon's scarred hands while drinking tea like that... felt his chest ache as sadness washed over him like a tidal wave...
He felt so grateful and sorry that Su-hyeon had tried that hard while he was unconscious for a month.
Even though he had lost his memory, he could feel these emotions.
"Please don't work yourself too hard. You are more important than me. Because the most important thing is yourself."
Minseo comforted Su-hyeon kindly and warmly...
Hearing that comfort, Su-hyeon's eyes wavered endlessly, and her lips trembled.
"In the future, don't overwork yourself. Do you understand..."
Minseo looked at Su-hyeon's face kindly... and stopped speaking...
The reason was...
"Heuk... heuk..."
Su-hyeon's sorrowful tears were flowing down her cheeks, drip-drip-.
She had run to the hospital like a madwoman, and as soon as she saw Minseo open his eyes there, tears had flowed down.
Although she was widely known as the best bodyguard, she hadn't been able to protect even one fragile Minseo.
That self-reproach tore into her heart... and the auditory hallucinations kept ringing in her head.
As soon as Minseo regained consciousness, the hallucinations disappeared completely... and she decided that no matter what he did in the future, she would help him become happy.
And now... hearing Minseo's incredibly warm comfort... tears were flowing down from the eyes of Su-hyeon, who had almost never cried in her entire life.
She was the one who should have been comforting, she was the one who should have been sorry, but instead, she was being comforted by Minseo right now.
In this ironic situation... Su-hyeon's love for Minseo doubled.
Really... I love you so much... Minseo-ya...♡
Su-hyeon, whose eyes had turned into hearts, wrapped her arms around his white neck right then and there...
"Su-hyeon-ssi... what are you... ah-eup-!!"
Su-hyeon began to shower him with a deep kiss, forcefully overlapping her lips with Minseo's...
"Ueup-! Eup-!"
Minseo, who had been kissed without knowing why, was shedding tears while simply accepting Su-hyeon, who was pushing her tongue into his mouth, with his eyes wide open.
Thud-
Due to the intense and deep kiss, Su-hyeon and Minseo fell to the floor...
"Haa... haa... what is this..."
"Minseo-ya, I love you-♡ More than anyone else."
Su-hyeon had sticky saliva trailing like a thread from her lips to Minseo's...
Su-hyeon was crying while wearing the happiest smile.
Amidst the hot and rising heat, breathing heavily, Su-hyeon pounced on Minseo as if to devour him...
"P-please calm down... heup-!!"
Minseo's mind went blank from Su-hyeon's ecstatic kiss, and he tried to hold onto his sanity and stop her, but...
Climbing on top of him, Su-hyeon overlapped her lips with his once again and began to shower him with kisses that seemed like she would never back down.
"I like you so much-♡ I love you-♡ Hmm? I love you-♡"
"Heu-ap-!"
Slurp- smack- suck-
And- Chae-ryeong, who had come out to the garden to prepare for the barbecue... caught sight of Minseo and Su-hyeon on the 2nd-floor terrace, just moments away from crossing the line.
"W-w... w...!! W...!!! Hey!!! Go to the terrace and stop them!!!"
"Why... un... shit. We're fucked."
"Shit!!"
"Ah... this is too much-!!!"
When Su-hyeon, who was on top of Minseo on the terrace floor, kissing him intensely and licking his tongue erotically, had half-undone his shirt buttons-!!
"Choi Su-hyeon-!!!"
"Catch her-!!"
"Uaaak-!!"
"Are you crazy-!!?!"
If the executives hadn't caused a scene and dragged Su-hyeon away... Minseo would have already been taken.
"Heo-eok-! Heo-eok- W-what... is this..."
Minseo, who had been on the verge of being ravished, had dazed eyes and was on the verge of tears.
'I... I only comforted her...'
Minseo had no idea how much that comfort would drive the other person crazy.
