Chapter 27.1
So-young thought in her heart that Tae-kyung was pretending. He had never rejected her clumsy temptation before.
Therefore, So-young doubted her ears the moment she was rejected by Taekyung. She was so surprised that her head was almost empty. The pitiful red face also quickly turned pale.
"I-I'm sorry…"
Han Soyoung, you crazy girl. What the hell did you do?
So-young spat out an apology at random and turned hurriedly. There was no way to control the shame that came like a tsunami, so her steps stumbled on their own. She wanted to disappear like smoke like this.
At that moment, Taekyung made a sound that made her ears suspicious.
“It’s enough to be treated like chewed and spit gum once.”
So-young, who stopped walking, turned her head. Taekyung was staring at her with an expression that was not as usual.
"What? W-when did I…"
So-young, who was only smiling in embarrassment, managed to say a word. At her weak defense, Taekyung lowered his eyebrows. There was a sad atmosphere around him that would make people feel an instinctive pity. A remark came out of his mouth as if he was sorry.
“When you groped my dick, you acted like we had a bond, and after we had sex, you immediately withdrew. To be honest, I was hurt.”
When Soyoung heard the words “sex or dick” in the office, she felt a burning sensation in her ears. At the same time, Taekyung's unreasonable coercion was unfair. It was so ridiculous that she couldn't even speak properly. Soyoung or not, Taekyung was always confident.
"Did you like it when we just had sex?"
"What are you talking about! When did I do that….”
So-young forgot her usual shyness and made a loud comment. She choked with resentment, but Taekyung didn't care at all. He stared at her and continued in a calm voice.
"Of course, I know well that you're only interested in my dick."
Did the team leader drink?
Soyoung bet on the possibility of rational reasoning. As if to shatter her expectations mercilessly, Taekyung smiled with a supremely normal face. Then he spoke as if driving a wedge, word by word.
"I knew, but unlike you, I'm delicate."
“…….”
“It hurts when you are treated like a human dildo.”

After having sex with So-young, Tae-kyung wandered in despair for a while. As if his brain would melt, he didn't even have time to savor the afterglow of the ecstatic sex.
Tae-kyung reconstructed his memories by reflecting on the time filled with misunderstandings, and whenever he had time, he pondered the last words So-young left.
[I really didn't want to move to a relationship beyond that.]
So-young made it clear that she had no intention of advancing her relationship with Taekyung in any way. At first, his heart was relaxed for no reason, and later his pride was hurt. He didn't tell her to go out with him, but it was like a difference in circumstances.
However, Tae-kyung, who reasoned with himself for a while, could not help but admit that So-young's judgment was right. As she pointed out, the relationship between the two was a fire play that began with lust. Therefore, it was best to organize it.
Taekyung thought so, but he could not shake off the emptiness that weighed heavily on his chest.
From the beginning, Taekyung's heart, held by Soyoung, was far from innocent. I didn't mean to deny that fact, but my body wasn't the only purpose like her.
From the beginning, Taekyung's feelings for Soyoung were far from pure. He had no intention of denying it, but her body wasn't his purpose.
Taekyung wasn't acting like a crazy person just hoping for sex. He was fond of So-young, overly interested in her, and easily agitated by her trivial actions.
However, it was only Taekyung's situation.
If So-young didn't expect anything from Tae-kyung, their relationship couldn't be more than a sex partner. If Taekyung had only wanted sex, she might have been different. But in some way, emotions took hold, and he couldn't be satisfied with such a relationship.
Since each other's expectations are different, it was right to organize them. As if nothing had happened from the beginning.
Taekyung thought so, but reason and emotion did not always move in the same direction.
Since then, Taekyung has not been able to help but pay attention to So-young. It was not normal no matter how much he thought about it, he felt disgusted just by her talking to another man.
The realization that he could not control himself threatened Tae-kyung, and made him powerless.
[Manager, did you cut your hair?]
[I just trimmed it. Can you tell?]
[I'm pretty good at watching things like that. You look pretty.]
Yi Hwan was particularly annoying. It seemed so obvious that he was flirting with So-young as best as he could. Fortunately, So-young, who was duller than she looked, ignored his attention.
