Chapter 136 – Episode 136. Leave
The atmosphere at my first job was good. Everyone was kind and hospitable.
The only problem was that the proportion of women among the employees was very high, and Sihyeon didn’t like it because of that.
As I slowly started to adapt to the workplace, the number of employees around me began to approach me.
“Seonwoo, are you free this evening?”
“I’m planning to have a meeting with my classmates today… Will Seonwoo be coming too?”
“There’s a nice bar nearby. Would you like to go together?”
There have been a variety of approaches, from blatant ones to subtle suggestions.
Of course, all approaches were rejected from the beginning.
“My girlfriend is waiting. I’m sorry.”
When they heard that he had a girlfriend, they walked away with disappointed expressions.
… Of course, there were people who clung to me persistently even after hearing those words, but since it was something I was used to, I didn’t give them any room and maintained an appropriate distance.
While I was continuing a relatively smooth work life, an incident occurred.
People at work knew my girlfriend as her sister-in-law.
The reason I chose Si-hyeon among the three was because the work hours were similar, and her work was nearby, so Si-hyeon often came to pick her up and showed her face to people at work by deliberately bringing her a packed lunch to impress her. 〉
One day, Si-hyeon suddenly sent a message saying that something urgent had come up and that she was sorry but that she would not be able to pick me up today.
As she was about to return home by public transportation, she got a call from Su-ah saying she would pick her up instead.
I thought she might misunderstand me if I showed her meeting Su-ah near the office, so I purposely met her at a little distance away and went home together.
However, strange rumors began to circulate around the company, as if someone had seen me leaving with Su-ah.
I tried to ignore the rumor, but a senior assistant manager with whom I was close asked me about the truth of the rumor.
“Huh, Seonwoo? I normally don’t ask about your personal life, but I’ve been in trouble before for having an affair… What is your relationship with the person who passed away with you last time? Is he a family member or an acquaintance?”
“That’s…”
I thought for a moment about how to answer.
As the assistant manager said, you can surround yourself with family or acquaintances.
Even if she tries to hide it, Su-ah won’t know about it, and even if she does, she’ll tell her that she did a good job and that she’s okay.
But… I wasn’t okay.
“We are in a relationship.”
After hearing the answer after much thought, the assistant manager’s voice trembled as if he was embarrassed.
“Huh.? That person who visited the company a few times in the past…?”
“This is my girlfriend.”
“You two are both girlfriends…?”
“Yes, that’s right. Of course, since we both know, there will be no heated fights at work.”
“Huh? Uh. You know everything.? Well, yeah…”
“Yes.”
As soon as she returned to her seat, she let out a sigh.
‘… Should I resign?’
For the first time since joining the company, the desire to leave arose, but I suppressed it.
Although it was not a large company, it was a healthy mid-sized company.
It was a good company with good work-life balance, good benefits, and a low quit rate.
‘… And if you were going to resign, you should have done so before answering.’
I fiddled with the resignation letter in my arms, then shoved it deep in and composed myself.
As expected, other rumors began to circulate around the company.
It was about me meeting several women at once and that my private life was extremely promiscuous.
It was an unpleasant rumor, but after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be not entirely wrong, so I was able to pass it over with a bitter smile.
This level of rumor was worth holding on to.
It’s a rumor that won’t last long anyway and will die down.
But here, one more incident occurred.
After finishing the project, we had dinner with the team members.
Celebrating the successful completion of the project, all team members got drunk and said, “Pour and drink.”
While I was quietly emptying my drink, the manager approached me.
Even after knowing that she had a girlfriend, he was someone who would overtly flirt, subtly belittle Sihyeon, or gently touch her shoulder or forearm as if it was a joke, so I tried to leave in advance.
“Oh, Mr. Seonwoo, where are you sitting?”
I was caught before I could even get up from my seat.
“I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom…”
“Did I see you just came from the bathroom? You think I won’t notice that Seonwoo is avoiding me? Sit down quickly.”
“…”
If you know it, it will go away on its own. The words rose up to my chin, but I managed to swallow them.
“After hearing the story… I heard that our Seonwoo’s skills are that good?”
“… Competent is a word that suits the manager, not someone like me.”
“Kyahaha, I usually don’t like being flattered, but it feels good that our Seonwoo does it for me?”
The manager subtly leaned towards me, stroking my arm or pressing his meager chest against my forearm.
The more the manager clung to me, the more I wanted to see my family waiting at home.
“Chief, it seems like you’re very drunk, but you’re slowly waking up…”
“Oh, why are you holding my wrist? Oh, did you mean to go out with me? I didn’t notice. Shall we take a rest together?”
“…”
It gradually became difficult to manage facial expressions.
The smile on my face gradually began to crack.
“Seonwoo. When it comes to women… Huh? It’s not just about the face or the body. Huh? A man can only be happy if he meets a woman with a good personality and ability like me. Do you understand?”
“…”
“… No, no…! I’m pretty and have a good body, right, Seonwoo?
“… Yeah. Grutz…”
I held on to the last string of reason.
The manager pushed his chest towards me and placed his hand on my thigh.
The closer I got to her body, the more obvious the dull skin and wrinkles that couldn’t be covered by thick makeup appeared.
“So… How about me, Seonwoo? You know there are 2 or 3 people there anyway? After you meet me, you’ll be so enamored with the older woman’s charm that you won’t be able to come to your senses? This noona will be really nice to you, huh?”
The people around were paying attention in this direction, pretending not to know or not to see.
Nevertheless, no one stopped the exaggeration.
It seemed like the manager, who usually had an eccentric personality, was worried that sparks would fly if he got involved.
“Huh? To be honest… I’m better than that woman, right? Huh? If you come to this noona, I’ll feed you for the rest of your life! Isn’t that good? Wow, Seon-woo, you made a fortune, right?”
“… Manager, please stop now.”
“Stop what? Huh? Seon-woo was the first to tail me and stay still, so I especially approached him first. What?”
“What are you saying that I hit my tail?”
“Huh? He always smiles and smiles when he sees me, right? You like me, right? Oh, is that true? You call it fisherman management? Is that so? Are you meeting those women for money or something? Hey, if that’s the case, tell me in advance. I have a lot of money! Now, I’ll give you money, so why don’t you go rest with me?”
“… No matter how much money I pay, I can’t deal with a woman who smells like a chicken coop.”
“… W-what? What did you say? Did I hear wrong?”
“I said she was a woman who smelled like a chicken coop. And don’t laugh. Every time you laugh, your thick makeup crumbles and gets on my clothes.”
I patted her shoulder and stood up.
“What?! Hey, you bastard! You’re not there?!”
I threw the resignation letter in the face of the manager who was staggering out of his seat.
When I tried to stand up, I was hit with a resignation letter in my face and left the dinner party, leaving her falling down.
I just took a taxi and went home.
On the taxi ride back, the alcohol gradually subsided, and my mind became clearer.
I thought I would have some regrets after I sobered up, but instead my regret only grew.
Although the manager crossed the line and said shit today, I didn’t like it when other people gossiped about Su-ah and Si-hyeon behind their backs.
If this was going to happen, she thought for a moment that she should have kept her relationship with Su-ah hidden from the beginning, but she didn’t regret it.
I felt like if I passed it off this time, I would continue to hide the relationship next time and the next time.
When she got home, she went straight to her room and fell asleep, using the excuse that she was tired from the company dinner.
The next day, he submitted his resignation letter but went to the company to formally go through the retirement process.
I interviewed with the manager for retirement procedures.
I was told by the manager that the manager would be disciplined for sexual harassment and would be transferred to another department or branch.
“If you submitted your resignation out of anger, think again…”
“No, it’s okay. I thought about it a lot at home and came to this conclusion.”
The manager accepted my resignation without holding on to me any longer.
The project was finished, and since I was a new employee and had little work to do, I was able to leave the company without a separate handover process.
I told my family that I had left work in the evening.
I didn’t give a detailed reason, but just said that the job didn’t really suit me and that there was some friction with my boss.
It was because I felt like Sihyeon would go to the company and ruin it after hearing what happened.
After hearing that I had quit the company, Su-a and Si-hyeon comforted me.
“You’ve had a hard time, Seonwoo. Take a good rest for a while and cheer up.”
“It’s okay, you can do that. The company isn’t the only one there. Or… You can come to us.”
Instead of comforting Si-eun, she was happy.
“Huh? If you don’t go to work, you can stay with me longer?”
Si-Hyeon noticed by poking Si-Eun’s side, but Si-Eun didn’t even flinch.
“Why did you get annoyed and hate it when your brother came to work, asking what kind of company she was the only woman in? Oh, but isn’t your company a company filled with women?”
“… It’s noisy. Be quiet.”
“Brother, let’s just use this opportunity to get a permanent job at home. We can just live as pillars!”
“Is my dick the only reason for my existence?”
“Eh, that’s not it.”
I said this as a joke, but Si-eun’s quick denial made me feel a little better.
“Of course, you can’t leave out his handsome face. These days, I feel like I’m going to leak just by making eye contact with you.”
“…”
Her improved mood plummeted again, and I sighed and lowered her head.
“Oh? Oppa, of course it was a joke. I thought you were so upset, so I was just joking… Huh? Oppa… I’m sorry… Hehe…”
Si-eun ran to me with her head down and tried to show off her charms.
Only after watching Si-eun’s complete set of 13 deadly charms did she feel better.
“Hehe… Hehe… By the way, oppa, are you going to prepare for a job again?”
“Maybe so?”
“Uh, so… Are they going to reinstate the ban?”
“I think it should be so. And it’s not like it’s banned…”
“Keeeee! I can’t go back to that time!”
Si-eun grabbed me by the collar and shook me.
My body shook like a balloon doll in front of a store.
“… No, this will do!”
“Ugh. W-what is it…”
“Oppa, you want to work, right?”
“… Really… Me? I think it felt a little different…”
“We want to stay with you longer, right?”
Si-eun looked towards Su-ah and Si-hyeon.
The two people nodded slightly while avoiding eye contact.
“Then you can take turns helping us with our work! It’s great for him to be able to work, and it’s great for us to have more time to spend together! It’s a win-win! Solved! I’m a genius!”
“Huh? Is that how it happens? In the first place, I… Ugh…”
I tried to argue, but my strength was lost as Si-eun pulled down his pants and started sucking his dick.
“Jjook… Side… Then it’s done, right? Joooook…!”
“Uh oh… Ah, I understand… Uh…”
The objections that had been floating in my head disappeared along with the semen, and I ended up accepting Si-eun’s offer.
