DFY Ch 11

“Alright, Ms. Wang Sodam. It doesn’t matter if it was a mistake or not. Let’s have a serious talk about what happened yesterday after work today.”

Junwoo, who had been speaking coldly, switched back to a gentle voice.

He alternated between affectionate and icy, making her heart pound strangely.

Perhaps her heart was malfunctioning because she was in the same space as the man she’d spent the night naked with, engaging in indecent acts.

“Team Leader, couldn’t we just talk about it now?”

Sodam pleaded with her eyes.

Waiting for Junwoo’s judgment until the end of the workday felt like slow torture.

The mere thought of forced resignation or criminal charges made her dizzy.

Hadn’t she also enjoyed masturbating? She felt slightly wronged.

“Sigh… Alright.”

Junwoo’s heart softened at Sodam’s tearful plea.

“I know it’s inappropriate to talk about this at work, but we can have dinner later.”

“Dinner?”

“I wanted to talk in a nice atmosphere.”

“Atmosphere?”

She parroted Junwoo’s words, clueless about what was happening, until he dropped the bombshell.

“I’ve liked you for a year, Ms. Wang Sodam. Let’s officially date.”

“….!”

Sodam felt dizzy, as if she’d been hit on the head.

She thought Junwoo had called her to his private office to reprimand her, but he had unexpectedly confessed his feelings.

Yoon Junwoo, of all people.

Yoon Junwoo, the Vice Chairman’s youngest son.

Yoon Junwoo, the spoiled, incompetent parachute who didn’t care about HR work.

The man who had everything in the world liked her?

This had to be a trap!

Sodam wondered if their conversation was being recorded.

Oh, shit…

She had admitted everything.

If the conversation was recorded, her confession could be used as evidence against her.

“Recording without the consent of the parties involved is illegal!”

Sodam raised her voice involuntarily.

Junwoo looked at her as if she’d lost her mind.

“What did you say?”

“Oh, nothing.”

Judging by Junwoo’s reaction, it seemed he hadn’t recorded anything.

Then, did he really like her?

She still couldn’t believe it.

“Although the order of events was problematic, Ms. Wang Sodam, let’s do things the right way now. I like you. Go out with me.”

“Uh…”

A moan escaped Sodam’s lips.

Her head was already spinning from her absurdly broken engagement, and now her boss was confessing his love? She felt like she was going crazy.

“Why aren’t you answering? Don’t you have feelings for me, Ms. Wang Sodam?”

Junwoo pressed the dazed Sodam.

Sodam, struggling to regain her composure, finally spoke.

“Team Leader, you’re teasing me, right?”

“Do I look like the kind of guy who would lie about liking a subordinate?”

No.

That didn’t make sense.

Even if Yoon Junwoo wasn’t an ordinary person, he wasn’t crazy enough to play such a prank.

“If you’re serious, then I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your feelings.”

Sodam’s head was still spinning as she rejected Junwoo’s confession.

She couldn’t believe he’d been interested in her for a year.

“Is my dick not good enough for you?”

Sodam squeezed her eyes shut.

This was all her fault.

She had told him that she broke off her engagement because of another man’s penis, so it was no wonder he thought that was the reason for her rejection.

“Th-that’s not it!”

“Then what’s the problem?”

What’s the problem?

What do you take me for, a woman who rejects a confession because of a problem with a penis?!

Of course…

The penis was a problem, but his gaslighting was also a big issue…

“I broke off my engagement a week ago.”

“So what? Until a week ago, you were engaged. That’s why I couldn’t confess, even though I liked you. Now that you’re no longer engaged, we can start dating seriously.”

“People will gossip.”

“Why?”

“They’ll talk behind my back. They might make up stories about how I had an affair with you and that’s why I broke off my engagement. That rumor will affect you too.”

Sodam thought of Jooim Ji Miyeon, who was always on the lookout for office gossip.

Even without her, getting involved with Junwoo would make them easy targets.

“I don’t care.”

“I do!”

Sodam jumped to her feet. Junwoo’s eyes flashed.

“We’re not finished. Sit down.”

Intimidated by his sudden intensity and firm voice, Sodam awkwardly sat back down.

“It’s no use trying to persuade me. I’m not interested in dating right now.”

Junwoo glared at her as she drew a firm line.

“You took my virginity, so you’re responsible.”

“… What?”

Sodam stared at Junwoo, dumbfounded.

Yoon Junwoo was a virgin?!

What a bombshell! This was insane!

Her heart swelled with the knowledge that he hadn’t been carelessly waving around that large, hard penis with his handsome face.

It was unbelievable that women had left that penis, no, that face alone. At the same time, it was remarkable that Junwoo hadn’t been promiscuous despite the numerous temptations he must have faced.

The thought that not all men were disgusting made the world seem a little brighter, and Junwoo seemed different, too. She almost forgot the awkward situation.

It was a strange feeling of pride, even though it wasn’t her penis.

“I didn’t want to be this petty, but it was my first time. You grabbed my dick. So take responsibility.”

“Uh…”

Sodam moaned again.

Even if Junwoo was a virgin, dating him was impossible.

She wasn’t shameless enough to date a well-endowed man a week after breaking off her engagement, and she didn’t want to date her boss.

Especially not Team Leader Yoon Junwoo.

She was already hesitant to reveal the news of her broken engagement; what would happen if she got involved with the Vice Chairman’s youngest son?

She couldn’t risk her career on a relationship that had no chance.

Even though Sodam was also a virgin, she didn’t think she needed to mention it.

If she did, Junwoo might attach more significance to them both being virgins and cling to her even more.

“You’re not going to pretend nothing happened after sleeping with your boss, are you?”

Even if he had liked her for a year, this confession was unprecedented. He was practically begging her to date him because he was a virgin.

“Strictly speaking, we didn’t have sex. You’re still a virgin, Team Leader.”

Sodam argued that since there was no penetration, she hadn’t taken his virginity.

She hadn’t been taken either.

They hadn’t taken each other.

They just licked.

“My body is already defiled.”

But Junwoo insisted his body was defiled.

“Defiled? Team Leader, you’re clean.”

“No, I’m not a virgin anymore. I’m not the kind of guy who does that with a woman I’m not dating.”

Sodam’s lips parted in surprise.

So was he saying her body was defiled too?

Junwoo’s logic was absurd, but she felt a sense of guilt, as if she should be responsible.

But guilt didn’t mean she could date him.

“I’m sorry. I believe relationships should be based on mutual feelings. I don’t like you, Team Leader.”

“You grabbed my dick even though you didn’t like me?”

“… I told you, I was drunk.”

“…”

“If you have nothing else to say, I’ll be going now. I apologize again.”

This time, Sodam stood up confidently.

Fortunately, Junwoo didn’t stop her.

Cold sweat trickled down her back.

As she left Junwoo’s private office, a few of her HR colleagues glanced at her.

She wanted to die.

She realized it was time to tell people about her broken engagement.

✦ ✦ ✦

Junwoo swallowed his bewilderment.

He’d thought Sodam had run away that morning out of embarrassment, but it turned out she had no feelings for him.

Perhaps it was only natural.

It was absurd to think she’d develop feelings for him a week after breaking off her engagement. Why hadn’t he realized that before?

He must have been so distracted by rolling around naked in bed with Sodam that he couldn’t think straight.

“Fuck, why is this happening…”

But there was another problem.

His penis, which had become erect as soon as he was alone with Sodam in his office, hadn’t softened even after she left.
