Chapter 224 - Hide and Seek Fucking 2
Thump—
Thump—
Suhyeon advanced one step at a time, scanning her surroundings more meticulously than ever before.
To her, it felt like she was surrounded by nothing but rows of sleek wine bottles; the Minseo she was hunting for was nowhere to be seen.
She had no idea that Minseo was trembling just a few meters away, desperately clamping a hand over his mouth.
'Please... just go back... please...'
Minseo could only pray, his heart hammering against his ribs, hoping Suhyeon would give up her search in the wine cellar and leave quickly.
Despite his desperate prayers, Suhyeon was drawing closer.
"Where could you be, Oppa~?"
Murmuring to herself, Suhyeon turned her steps toward the very corner where Minseo was cowering.
'Ugh... I'm going to get caught...!!'
Despair washed over Minseo as he watched her close the distance to less than three meters.
If she found him, he'd surely be devoured roughly and forcefully all over again. It was the last thing he wanted; after the grueling Training Hayoung had put him through, all he wanted was to rest.
Suhyeon's gray suit began to flicker into his field of vision through the gaps in the wine racks.
'It's over...'
Minseo squeezed his eyes shut, certain he'd been spotted.
Shhh—
Just as her silhouette seemed to be lunging toward him...
Ring—!!
Suhyeon stopped dead in her tracks at the sudden shrill of a phone.
After staring at the caller ID for a moment, she bit her lip and answered.
"Did you... find him by any chance?"
The caller was none other than Hayoung. Suhyeon's voice trembled slightly as she asked.
She figured there had to be a reason for such a sudden call—the most likely being that Hayoung had already found him.
"Why? Scared I beat you to it?"
Hayoung's voice came through the line, slick and sly.
"Just tell me if you found him or not."
"Well..."
Hayoung trailed off, her answer intentionally vague.
"..."
From that hesitation, Suhyeon realized Hayoung was still empty-handed.
"So you haven't found him yet. Then why the hell are you calling?"
The tension on Suhyeon's face relaxed a fraction.
It made sense that Hayoung couldn't find him.
After all, Minseo was hiding right here with her.
"Just checking in. Wanted to see if you were actually looking. Don't come crying to me when I find him first."
Patter—
Despite her casual tone, Hayoung was clearly sprinting as she searched.
The call was nothing more than a distraction to keep Suhyeon pinned in place, even for a few seconds.
'Oh no...!!'
Hearing Hayoung's rapid footsteps over the phone, Suhyeon realized she'd been played.
"Tch. Not a chance."
With that, she hung up abruptly.
To make up for the wasted time, Suhyeon turned to leave the wine cellar immediately.
She hadn't seen any sign of Minseo here, so she assumed he was elsewhere.
'She's leaving...!'
Watching from the shadows, Minseo cheered inwardly, holding his breath as he waited for her to disappear.
....
But for some reason, Suhyeon stopped just as she was about to walk away.
'What is it?'
Just as Minseo tilted his head in confusion—!
Swish—!
Suhyeon spun around and lunged toward his hiding spot with a powerful stride.
"Found you."
In the blink of an eye, she was standing right over him, a victorious smirk playing on her lips.
Seeing her suit jacket fluttering from the sudden movement, Minseo could only blink, his entire body frozen like ice.
"Ho... how did you know...?"
He managed to stammer out the question, completely dumbfounded.
She was clearly leaving... and then she just turned and charged straight at him.
"I was going to leave... but then I saw your face reflected in one of the wine bottles."
Suhyeon stroked his cheek softly, her smile radiating pure joy.
Her heart raced at the thought of the "sweet time" she was about to have with him, and she was practically buzzing with excitement at the prospect of rubbing her win in Hayoung's face.
"Oppa... I missed you. Do you have any idea how hard I looked for you?"
Her face flushed a deep red as she leaned into his chest.
Thump—
"Pfft—"
Seeing her act as cute and clingy as a schoolgirl, Minseo let out an involuntary chuckle. The contrast with her usual "girl-crush" persona was jarring.
'Why is she so cute when I'm holding her?'
If anyone saw her like this, they'd never believe she was the Mafia's top security expert.
Stroking her hair as she snuggled into his embrace, Minseo spoke softly.
"Yeah... I missed you too. I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was back at the mansion... I was just so out of it..."
Seeing her disappointment, he felt a pang of guilt and offered a sincere apology.
"...So you know you were bad."
Suhyeon, who had been resting her head against his neck, looked up to meet his eyes with a pout.
"But it's okay."
She quickly dropped the act and beamed at him.
"It is...?"
"Yeah. Because..."
Suhyeon leaned in close to his ear and whispered.
"From now on, I'm going to eat you up until you're a total mess."
Her voice was so ripe and seductive it made his skin crawl.
'Hiiiik...!!'
At those chilling words, Minseo flinched, his pupils trembling as he looked at her.
"Oppa. You need to be punished, right?"
Suhyeon let out a lewd giggle, her fingers tracing his cheek.
"Su... Suhyeon-ah..."
"It's no use making that face. You know how long it's been since we've had sex."
Seeing his anxious expression only seemed to heighten her excitement.
This was the moment she had been waiting for.
Her time with him.
An ecstatic session of filling herself with him while listening to his moans to her heart's content.
It was time to end the game. Suhyeon immediately called Hayoung.
"Suhyeon... did you...?"
Hayoung answered, her voice thick with anxiety.
"You sounded so smug earlier, but now you're shaking?"
The tables had turned. Suhyeon teased her with a relaxed laugh while Hayoung tried desperately to keep her composure.
"You haven't... found him yet, right...?"
Hayoung clung to that final shred of hope.
But Suhyeon shattered it instantly. With a smirk, she handed the phone to Minseo.
Minseo stared blankly at the device before taking it with a conflicted expression.
"...Noona. She caught me..."
Hearing his voice, Hayoung felt her mind go blank.
The game was over? Just like that?
What about her time with him? The sex she hadn't even gotten to start yet?
"Noooooo....!"
Defeat washed over her, and Hayoung let out a despairing wail.
Listening to her scream through the receiver, Suhyeon finally allowed herself a true victor's smile.
*
Back in Hayoung's room, three people stood in the space dominated by the king-sized bed.
Suhyeon, the winner of the Betting Game; Hayoung, the loser.
And Minseo... the one who was going to be devoured regardless of who won.
"Hayoung-nim, you can sit right here."
Suhyeon said with a beaming face, placing a chair a short distance from the bed.
"......Let me get a little closer."
"Denied."
Despite Hayoung being her superior, Suhyeon firmly refused, forcing her to sit in the designated spot away from the action.
The winner gets to enjoy Minseo.
The loser has to watch.
Those were the rules.
"Fine... I get it."
A bet was a bet. Hayoung accepted the result and reluctantly plopped down into the chair.
The thought of having to just sit there while the two of them enjoyed each other was agonizing.
'God... I'm so jealous... I'm going to lose it!!'
Irritation was already boiling over inside her.
Ignoring Hayoung, who was biting her lip and glaring at them, Suhyeon locked eyes with Minseo as he lay shyly on the bed.
"Why are you being so bashful, Oppa?"
It had been a while since they'd done this, but she found it fascinating how he was suddenly blushing and acting so timid.
"It's just... knowing someone is watching us... it's embarrassing."
Minseo's face was flushed, his breathing heavy as he glanced at Hayoung, who was practically burning holes in him with her jealous gaze.
Grab.
Suhyeon took his face in her hands, forcing him to look back at her.
"Don't worry about Hayoung-nim. This time is just for us. Got it?"
Her tone was soft but left no room for argument. Minseo felt himself being pulled in, slowly nodding his head.
Shhh—
For a long moment, they simply stared into each other's eyes, the air between them softening.
Straddling his hips, Suhyeon slowly lowered herself, bringing their faces inches apart.
"Ha... ha..."
"Breathing a bit hard there, Oppa?"
At this range, their noses almost touching, Minseo's excited breaths hitched.
Suhyeon smiled broadly, admiring his sharp features and those cute eyes.
Their lips were a hair's breadth away.
In that space where tension and lust intertwined...
"Oppa, I love you."
Mph—
As Suhyeon's lips swallowed his, their "sweet" session finally began.
"Shit."
And of course, there was Hayoung, watching it all with her legs crossed and a look of pure misery.
