"What happened? Team Leader?"
"..."
"Team Leader!"
"Well...so..."
Choi Go-eun is flustered and can't continue speaking. Her always confident appearance is nowhere to be found, and even her words stutter. Choi Go-eun stutters...if I hadn't witnessed this scene today, I probably wouldn't have imagined it in my life.
"I drove because Manager Lee didn't wake up...but I took the wrong road..."
'How could I have taken the wrong road and ended up in a mountain village like this?'
Hyun-woo, who couldn't understand at all,
"I'll drive for now, Team Leader."
He puts Choi Go-eun in the passenger seat and sits in the driver's seat.
"Uh...that..."
The fuel warning light comes on on the dashboard.
'No way...'
Hyun-woo tries to start the car, but the car is already completely empty.
"I think the gas...is all gone."
'Haa...'
"When was the last time you drove, Team Leader?"
"I did it once before I was dispatched overseas, but it's been a while since I've driven. Don't misunderstand, Manager Lee. Hmm...hmm."
Choi Go-eun stuttered and made excuses, but Hyunwoo could tell right away. This woman... is a total idiot at driving.
In fact, thanks to her perfect image within the company, Hyunwoo thought Choi Go-eun was a perfect person in every way. The other employees probably thought the same. But of course, a perfect person couldn't exist, and Choi Go-eun had areas where she wasn't talented.
'But how could she be this bad?'
It was clearly a highway, but driving all the way into the mountains was a talent if it was a talent.
"Why were you so stubborn when you're such a bad driver?"
"..."
Have you ever been reprimanded like this while working? Choi Go-eun lowers her head and blushes, perhaps because she is angry at Hyun-woo's reprimand or because she is embarrassed that she can't even drive like any adult.
"...It's because of Manager Lee. We had a tight appointment time… and he didn't even wake up..."
The tiger who has been ruling like a dictator in the office has suddenly turned into a cat, muttering to herself as if whispering. Her appearance
'You're cute… cute. On a topic that reminds me of…'
Hyun-woo was a little cute. He was 170cm tall and had unrealistically curvy breasts. Choi Go-eun was armed with a poker face, but she was still a woman after all. And she was very attractive.
"I… I'll clean up what I did, so Manager Lee, don't worry about it."
Still, Choi Go-eun was a responsible career woman who couldn't be compared to women who made a mistake and kept saying 'what the heck, what the heck', and she immediately took out the emergency manual in her company car and called the insurance company as per the procedure.
"Yes, it's a corporate vehicle registered with your company's auto insurance. The license plate number is 0000. Yes, that's right. The vehicle won't start due to lack of funds and fuel. I'm requesting emergency dispatch service."
Still, Choi Go-eun's face quickly shows a sense of relief, as if the conversation with the insurance company went well.
"The location is, uh,,, this is… Geumchon-myeon, Heungcheon-gun, according to the navigation system. Maybe because it's in the mountains, there's no more detailed location information. The road is cut off, and there are no street trees or utility poles around."
"Ah…yes…I understand. I'll wait a bit. Okay, thank you."
"Haa..."
"Team leader, what did the insurance company say??"
"They said it would take some time to find you because the exact location hasn't been confirmed. For now… I guess I'll have to wait a bit.
"I see..."
"I… I'm sorry, Manager Lee. I caused trouble."
Choi Go-eun immediately admits her mistake. As expected, it's her personality that clearly knows right from wrong.
"It's okay. Well, that could happen. Hahaha..."
"..."
Whether her pride was hurt or she was embarrassed because her driving skills were discovered, Choi Go-eun didn't say anything anymore. An awkward silence soon fell between the two.
The car didn't even start, so she couldn't see an inch ahead of her. Maybe because it was in the mountains, there weren't even the usual streetlights around.
'If the insurance company can't find me, I'm going to get lost, right? Should I call the police right now?'
Hyun-woo also felt a little anxious. At work, he was above his employees with managerial authority, but outside of the company, he was just another ordinary office worker.
"Let's wait until the insurance company comes. It's dark, so it could be dangerous if we move around."
But if we called the police or 119, things would get worse. We might have to write a confirmation letter to the company later. Hyun-woo thought that it was really not necessary.
"Okay."
In that way, Hyunwoo and Choi Go-eun had to wait for the insurance company's emergency vehicle in the car without moving.
........
However, the insurance company's vehicle did not arrive even after waiting for several hours. Choi Go-eun tried calling several more times after that, but the location information was not accurate, so they only replied that they were checking the surroundings.
As the residual heat of the engine cooled down, the cold of the mountain penetrated the car.
"Haa..."
Choi Go-eun's body was shivering as if she felt the cold. The shivering was so strong that Hyunwoo, who was sitting right next to her, could feel it.
'I only wore a thin suit..'
Even Choi Go-eun, who was a perfectionist, would not have expected to get lost in the mountains like this while on a business trip. Of course, she was wearing her usual light suit, and Hyunwoo was no different.
'Ugh..."
He also felt the cold to the point that his breath was coming out of his mouth.
"Ugh..."
Just in case, Hyunwoo searched the vehicle, but there was really nothing in the company vehicle except the driving log.
'I'm freezing to death. Something that could raise my body temperature...'
Of course, the only thing that came to Hyunwoo's mind was sex. The two men and women roughly exploring each other's bodies, their flesh entangled. There was actually a story about hikers who got lost in the mountains and survived by having sex to maintain their body temperature.
[User: Choi Go-eun]
[Psychological Message]
[Satisfaction] that their abilities were recognized
[Anticipation] for the company's successful innovation
[Deplorable] for incompetent employees
[Contempt] for the opposite sex who lacks confidence
[Trust] for team member Lee Hyunwoo - Amplified activation
[Sorry] for team member Lee Hyunwoo - New!
Just in case, Hyunwoo checks Choi Go-eun's status window. But what was added was [sorry] towards Hyunwoo.
'If you're that sorry, give it to me. It'll raise your body temperature, right? If I say that, you'll be angry, right?'
Hyunwoo glanced at Choi Go-eun, who was shivering in the passenger seat, and amplified his [sorry] towards himself. Creating a debt of gratitude would be a huge weapon in her strategy.
"Are you okay? Team leader?"
"Yes… Don't worry about me."
'I can feel you shivering from here, what's wrong…'
That was something like Choi Go-eun's habit. Her young age and gender, the fact that she was able to rise to team leader was possible by completely hiding those two weaknesses.
Completely hiding her weak and tired appearances. Always maintaining a poker face. Choi Go-eun's secret to being promoted to team leader faster than anyone else.
'If this continues, something really big will happen…'
However, in the current situation, blindly enduring is not the way to go. This wasn't a company, and if she held on foolishly, she might really get hypothermia. Even Hyunwoo couldn't hold on right now, so how much harder would it be for a woman like Choi Go-eun?
"Team Leader"
"Ugh… why? Manager Lee."
"If we just keep waiting like this, we might get hypothermia."
"It's… it's okay. The insurance company will be here soon."
Whether it's because of her pride or because she's extremely reluctant to show weakness, Choi Go-eun tries to overcome this situation on her own, as she always has.
"Are you really okay, Team Leader?"
"Oh really! I'm okay!"
'Haa…'
"It's because I'm not okay. I… I haven't stopped shivering since a while ago… haa…"
In the end, Hyunwoo starts whining that he's in pain first, even though his pride as a man is hurt.
"Why… did you… bring the team leader… here in a car… haa…"
And the decisive blow. Because of you, I'm going to collapse right now. Take responsibility. It was just the kind of tantrum an elementary school student would make, but Choi Go-eun felt an incredible sense of guilt at those words.
'Because of my poor driving skills... I can't hurt Lee Dae-ri... I have to solve it.'
You have to take responsibility for your own actions. For Choi Go-eun, who had lived her whole life with that belief, Hyun-woo's suffering was a problem she had to solve.
"Then... Let's sit in the back seat together. Oh... Don't misunderstand. It's all for maintaining body temperature."
Swish
Then Choi Go-eun carefully hugs Hyun-woo.
Touch
'Ugh... Is this feeling right now?'
It was Choi Go-eun wearing a jacket, shirt, and even a bra. However, her enormous bust ignored all of her underwear and outerwear and revealed her presence to Hyun-woo without any filter.
I think I understand why women with big breasts sneakily link arms with each other. There is no man in the world who can defend against such a physical attack.
Hyunwoo immediately stiffens at the feeling of her chest on his shoulders and arms. It may have been different from her intention, but Hyunwoo's lower abdomen's body temperature definitely rose sharply.
'Mr. Lee is right. We need to maintain our body temperature to prevent hypothermia.'
"Haa..."
Hyunwoo lets out a groan that is hard to tell whether it is because he is cold or excited. Choi Go-eun, who does not know his condition, hugs Hyunwoo even tighter with her whole body.
'Sniff sniff... Lavender? Is it the scent of fabric softener?'
It is not a strong scent like the Shax perfume Eunseol sprays, but the subtle scent stimulates Hyunwoo's nose. She pretends to be strong, but her state of shivering from the cold is conveyed as it is.
"——!"
Hyunwoo also hugs Choi Go-eun tightly, and her body trembles. But because of the situation, she doesn't put up much resistance. Hyunwoo can clearly see her face, flushed red from embarrassment.
'Ah, just like this...'
In a dark mountain with no light. A man and a woman left alone in a car. And a passionate embrace. Anyone can tell that it's already over. If you can't eat this perfectly prepared meal, aren't you a brat?
'First, let's start with a slow kiss…'
Unable to control his lust, Hyunwoo finally sneaks his lips into Choi Go-eun's face,
He tried to act strong, but it was too late, because tears were welling up in her eyes behind her glasses. No matter how cold the team leader mask was, Choi Go-eun was still just a weak woman.
'Fuck…'
It was also because Choi Go-eun's status window didn't give him a clear sense of certainty, but Hyunwoo gave up on skinship when he saw her shivering from the cold and fear.
'Next…next time.'
Swish
In case Choi Go-eun noticed his stiffened penis, Hyunwoo sneakily lifted his lower body away from her.
The two of them waited in the car for a few more hours, embracing each other more passionately than any other couple. When the sun finally rose from the sky, the insurance company's emergency vehicle finally arrived.
.........….
"Haa… I should have just eaten it."
After being rescued from the mountains, the two returned home after receiving simple treatment at the hospital. After taking a hot shower and lying down on the bed, Hyunwoo began to regret his actions.
A golden opportunity created by the heavens. Will he have another chance like yesterday on a business trip with Choi Go-eun?
'No.'
Bang bang
Why did he, who had been living as he pleased after gaining the authority of the workplace administrator in the business system, do that? In frustration, Hyunwoo pounded the poor Matrix.
'Because of those damn tears…'
He had never expected Choi Go-eun, the best in the world, to shed tears. Of course, she didn't exactly shed them. It was just a little wetness? Anyway, it was a huge shock to Hyunwoo.
"Ah… Should I just stay quiet for a while?"
Choi Go-eun will probably distance herself from Hyun-woo because of this incident. She'll probably be a bit nervous. Hyun-woo lies in bed and tries to think of a way to win her over again, but is it because he missed his crucial opportunity? He's just at a loss.
"Hey, let's just sleep and think about it tomorrow."
Woowoowoo
Just as Hyun-woo was about to give up and fall asleep, a message from Choi Go-eun arrived on his phone.
