Private Secretary Episode 31

 

As the kiss continued again, Lee Seol instinctively wrapped both arms around his neck and pulled him closer, feeling as if she had climbed to a high place.

 

Tae-san caressed from Lee Seol’s cheek past her shoulder to her waist, then gradually put weight on his upper body.

 

Lee Seol’s back, slowly pushed backward, touched the sofa. Tae-san naturally climbed on top and overlapped their bodies.

 

Tae-san, who had been hotly exploring Lee Seol’s mouth, gradually moved downward. Passing her nape and placing his lips on her collarbone, Tae-san sucked hard enough to sting.

 

“Department Head.”

 

Though the flustered Lee Seol called to him, Tae-san came back up and pressed their lips together as if he hadn’t heard anything.

 

Tae-san gently stroked Lee Seol’s hair while penetrating deeply as if to monopolize her.

 

She thought it was too late now to ask questions about why he was doing this, whether they should be doing this. No, actually she didn’t want to ask such questions.

 

If she said such things to him, this kiss would stop. Then he wouldn’t touch her like this anymore.

 

Lee Seol, who finally realized her honest feelings, threw the confusing reality far away.

 

She wanted to fully enjoy this moment that might never come again. So Lee Seol hugged him tightly with as much force as she desired Tae-san.

 

Before long, the movement of his tongue binding Lee Seol and his hands caressing her began to become much more tender.

 

Naturally relaxed, Lee Seol gradually released the tension that had built up.

 

“Huu…”

 

Tae-san, who had separated their hotly touching lips, went down again as if asking for permission.

 

Lee Seol slowly stroked his firm back while exhaling her quickened breath.

 

The sensation of Tae-san biting and licking here and there felt comfortable rather than lewd.

 

Especially when he stroked her head, the sleepiness that had fled seemed to come rushing back like waves.

 

Was it because of the excessively unrealistic and dreamy situation?

 

Half-drunk with sleep, Lee Seol slowly closed her eyes while receiving his tender touch.

 

The more she did so, the slower and softer Tae-san’s movements became. As if he was trying to put Lee Seol to sleep.

 

Finally, only when Lee Seol’s arms that had been holding his shoulders dropped down did Tae-san bury his face in her sleeping nape and exhale deeply.

 

“…”

 

After calming his heated breath, Tae-san eventually raised his head, looked at the soundly sleeping Lee Seol, and lightly kissed her forehead.

 

Then he brought the blanket that had been placed at the end of the sofa, laid Lee Seol down on the sofa, and lay down next to her, holding her tightly.

 

This situation was just as confusing for Tae-san too.

 

Because he was led by an impulse so strong that he wanted to set aside the consequences, he had done it without knowing it himself.

 

Though he couldn’t explain the exact reason why he had done that, what was certain was that he didn’t regret what had happened earlier.

 

Tae-san put his arm under Lee Seol’s head to support it like a pillow and pulled her into his embrace.

 

Once he had kissed her, the urge to press his lips to hers kept surging endlessly.

 

Tae-san finally calmed his heart and closed his eyes only after giving countless light kisses to Lee Seol’s forehead.

 

* * *

 

“…Huk!”

 

Lee Seol woke up startled as if she had received an electric shock.

 

In that state, she stiffened her body and slowly rolled only her eyes.

 

An unfamiliar space. Where is this?

 

When she had slowly opened and closed only her eyes several times, the refreshing sound of water pouring could be heard from somewhere.

 

Using that sound as a signal, the memories of last night came back clearly one by one.

 

“Crazy. I must be crazy. I must be crazy…!”

 

Lee Seol, who had pulled the blanket over her head, blinked rapidly in that state.

 

So last dawn… Kang Tae-san and I…

 

As if proving the memories weren’t false, her lips were still tingling and hot.

 

But why am I here?

 

The place where we kissed was definitely on the sofa, so did Tae-san move me here?

 

When she had looked around earlier, the place where she had opened her eyes was definitely Tae-san’s bedroom.

 

Lee Seol curled up her body like a fetus and couldn’t escape from the rushing embarrassment.

 

Then, the sound of a door opening with a thud was heard.

 

Though she couldn’t see outside from inside the blanket, Lee Seol, who had held her breath to the end, only opened her eyes wide.

 

As the sound of footsteps got closer, she bit her lips tightly and couldn’t move at all.

 

“If you’re awake, why don’t you wash up?”

 

Tae-san’s leisurely voice heard from beyond the blanket. Lee Seol closed her eyes tightly from unbearable embarrassment.

 

What was I thinking doing that? With a boss I face every day.

 

Of course, at least when kissing, he seemed like a man she liked rather than her boss. That’s why she willingly allowed the kiss.

 

Now that day had broken, she couldn’t bear to look at his face.

 

“Han Lee Seol.”

 

“…Yes. I’ll, I’ll wash up.”

 

Lee Seol, who couldn’t bring herself to ask him to leave, just waited for his presence to move away.

 

But instead, Tae-san sat on the edge of the bed and slightly lifted the end of the blanket.

 

When Lee Seol’s forehead was revealed and her tightly closed eyes were visible, Tae-san laughed as if absurd.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

When Tae-san pulled down the blanket so only Lee Seol’s face was revealed, Lee Seol glanced sideways to steal a look at him.

 

“Are you worried something happened yesterday?”

 

“N, no…”

 

“Nothing happened. We both fell asleep on the sofa yesterday, and I thought it would be better to let you sleep somewhere comfortable, so I brought you to the bedroom when I woke up early.”

 

“…”

 

“Should I apologize for what happened yesterday?”

 

“What? No, no?”

 

“Then why are you acting so awkward and uncomfortable?”

 

Instead of answering, Lee Seol slowly sat up. And she stared at Tae-san, who had just washed up and was wearing a robe.

 

Tae-san also wore his clothes and gazed at Lee Seol, who had gotten up from his bed, with strange eyes.

 

“Perhaps…”

 

Lee Seol wanted to ask why he had kissed her yesterday.

 

Whether he perhaps had feelings for her too. Whether he had come to like her.

 

But the moment she met his gaze, all those questions ultimately couldn’t come out of her mouth.

 

Because Tae-san’s eyes were no different from yesterday.

 

As if telling her that last night’s events were just meaningless impulses committed by instinct.

 

“Perhaps what?”

 

“…Nothing.”

 

Asking whether he likes me or not over just a kiss would seem pretty pathetic.

 

Above all, didn’t Tae-san have another woman he liked?

 

No matter how she looked at it, last night’s kiss was just a product of dawn sentimentality.

 

But she didn’t want to appear to him, who was also her boss, as a woman who couldn’t distinguish between work and personal matters.

 

Lee Seol, who had lowered her head, stopped talking.

 

“Starting to say something and then stopping is the worst.”

 

“…By, by any chance, did I snore…?”

 

When Lee Seol made an excuse on the spot, Tae-san, not knowing her true feelings, burst into refreshing laughter.

 

Then he tapped Lee Seol’s nose and got up from his seat.

 

“You slept quietly and well.”

 

“That’s a relief.”

 

“Come out after washing up.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Lee Seol headed to the guest room where she had left her outdoor clothes from last night.

 

As soon as she got away from Tae-san, she pressed her heart that felt like it would burst with both hands and took a deep breath.

 

“This is serious, really. I think I like him even more, what should I do?”

 

Of all people, to fall in unrequited love with a man who likes someone else.

 

Lee Seol thought there could be no greater tragedy than this and closed her eyes tightly.

 

“I shouldn’t have kissed him. Then it wouldn’t have become this troublesome.”

 

Lee Seol, who had leaned against the wall and slowly slumped to the floor, only let out deep sighs with her forehead against her knees.

 

* * *

 

Unlike Tae-san, who looked surprisingly refreshed despite having slept for barely a few hours, Lee Seol drooped like a wilted scallion.

 

Although Lee Seol said she would drive herself, Tae-san insisted on taking the wheel and turned toward Lee Seol’s apartment instead of the company.

 

“Why are we going to my place?”

 

“You need to change clothes.”

 

“…Oh.”

 

Lee Seol, whose mind had been scattered with various thoughts, let out a short sigh.

 

“Please wait just 5 minutes. I’ll be right out.”

 

Tae-san nodded leisurely as if telling her to take her time, and Lee Seol hurried into her apartment.

 

She then pulled out a thin cardigan and black slacks from her closet, tidied up her messy hair neatly, and came back outside.
