It is Easiest to be Obsessed by Everyone

Somehow, during the work dinner, I ended up checking out the status information of a few of the female colleagues.

Just a simple touch would automatically pull up their profile screens. I tried to avoid reading them and closed them out quickly without looking.

I had no interest in seeing lines like ‘Special Note: Wants to go to a motel with you right away.’

Since we were going to be working together for a while, knowing that kind of information would only make things awkward.

I already knew that they were attracted to me because of this ridiculously good-looking face. But that’s all I wanted to assume. No need to look into it any further.

“Why are you hesitating? So, do you have a girlfriend or not?”

There was no real reason to lie.

To me, Hyena was my girlfriend, even though she joked that she’d only consider me her boyfriend after three years of loyalty.

But what good would it do to clarify that here?

Words can spread easily, and I was well aware that my face was a major factor in our sales numbers.

Higher sales mean more profit for me, bringing me closer to finding a place for Hyena and me.

If word got out about her, and our revenue took a hit because of it, I’d hate that.

Besides, I was not here to date any of my female colleagues, so there was no harm in stretching the truth a bit.

“… I don’t have one.”

“Oooooh! But why’d you take so long to answer?”

“Are you sure you don’t secretly have one but feel bad lying about it?”

Damn it! What should I say?

Maybe I’d just lean into Chang-woo’s original style, as best as I can, anyway.

I leaned back, crossed my arms, and gave them a cocky smirk.

“Just wondering if I’d call them a ‘girlfriend’ or not. I mean, it’s not like there’s only one.”

“Wow! He’s really a player.”

“Right. But to confirm, there’s definitely no girlfriend?”

With a slightly tipsy glint in her eye, Ji-hyun pressed me for an answer.

I felt a bit uneasy, but as long as I kept my guard up, it’d be fine.

Ji-hyun was cute, but compared to Hyena? Not a chance.

“Yeah. I’m sure. I don’t have one.”

“Yesss!”

“And I’m not planning to get one either.”

“What? Come on, no way!”

“I need money.”

“Everyone does. What’s that got to do with having a girlfriend?”

“I want to earn a lot of money. And relationships feel like a waste of time.”

It started sounding like something Chang-woo would say, but somewhere in the middle, I think I veered off course.

Still, I think it was good enough.

‘Ji-hyun, please don’t try anything…’

‘I really don’t want things to get complicated with my boss because of you.’

——-

The gathering finally wrapped up around 2 a.m.

Chang-woo looked around at his coworkers with concern in his eyes.

Clearly, they were pretty drunk, and he was worried.

Gong Ji-chul seemed a bit annoyed at the situation.

“Chang-woo, you head home. I’ll take care of these guys.”

“Huh? Are you sure you can handle them all by yourself?”

“Actually, it’ll be easier without you here. Trust me, if you stick around, things might get out of hand. Just go home and get some rest; you’re due at work by 9 a.m. anyway. Ugh. This is the last time I’m doing one of these dinners. Look at them.”

“But I really think I should stay and help.”

“Just go. That’s how you can help me right now. Go on, get out of here.”

With Ji-chul’s firm insistence, Chang-woo had no choice but to turn and leave.

Once he was out of sight, Ji-chul turned to the rest of the group.

“Alright, everyone. Let’s wrap it up and head home.”

“Aw, come on, boss! Seriously?”

“This is too much.”

“You really think I don’t know you’re just pretending to be drunk? Hurry up and get home. And if anyone’s late tomorrow, there will be consequences.”

The employees were now noticeably more alert. They grumbled as they got up.

Gong Ji-hyun, in particular, pouted the most.

“Having a brother around is honestly no help in life.”

“Having a sister who nearly messes things up with my prized employee? Yeah, no, thanks. Don’t bother showing up at the shop.”

“Ugh, fine. I’ll still come.”

——

On my way home, my phone chimed with a bank app notification.

For a moment, my heart sank, wondering if it was another donation from one of those women, but it turned out to be from my boss.

What’s this?

Curious, I opened the banking app and nearly dropped my shopping bag in shock.

[Depositor: Gong Ji-chul]

[Amount Deposited: 10,000,000 KRW]

[Balance: 27,601,620 KRW]

I immediately sent him a message.

[Me] Boss, what’s this for?

[Boss] Today’s share for you, haha. I kept a solid 60% for myself this time.

[Me] So, the profit was 25 million today?

[Boss] Yeah. After running the numbers, it seems about right. But starting tomorrow, I’ll calculate the profits monthly and pay you as part of your salary. If you need any money in between, just let me know. I can always send an advance.

Thank you, boss. Seriously.

If only someone like you were a university professor instead of just running a business. It was such a loss for academia in Korea.

[Me] Thanks so much, boss. I’ll work hard to make you proud.

[Boss] One more thing I wanted to ask.**

[Me] Sure, anything.

[Boss] If Ji-hyun ever makes a move on you, please don’t worry about me—cut her off coldly.

[Boss] You can even make her cry or give her a piece of your mind.

[Boss] And if she ever makes you uncomfortable, make sure you tell me.

[Boss] Right now, I’m only keeping her because we’re short-staffed, but if she bothers you even once, I’ll let her go.

[Me] Don’t worry; I’ll handle it.

[Boss] I trust you.

[Boss] Don’t quit on me; let’s work together for the long run.

[Me] I’ve already tasted the sweet side of money—I’m all in.

[Boss] Haha, see you later. If you’re tired, feel free to come in a bit late—just let me know ahead of time.

[Me] I’ll be there on time; I’ve got plenty of stamina.

———

I was on my way to Hyena’s workplace right now.

She was still working through the night.

Even at this hour, past 2 a.m., it felt unreasonable that they hadn’t let her go home yet.

Seriously. An uncomfortable thought crossed my mind: what if her boss has an ulterior motive and was intentionally keeping her there late?

[Me] Are you still working?

[Hyena] Yes… [Crying Emoji]

[Hyena] We’re taking turns resting for an hour or two while we work…!

[Hyen] I’m actually one of the most recent arrivals here. The team lead hasn’t been home for over 50 hours…

Looks like I was wrong about the boss.

But, still, when your girlfriend, who’s of marriageable age, is working late at a small YouTube studio, anyone would feel uneasy.

[Me] Could you maybe say you’re going out to the sauna for a bit? Even just for 30 minutes?

[Hyena] Sure! Should I go now?

[Me] I’ll book a room nearby and let you know. When I text, you can head over.

[Hyena]

She even sent a shy, teary emoji.

I chose a motel that was close to her studio but out of view from the office building.

I sent her the location and room number.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

When I opened it, there was Hyena, looking up at me, face flushed, with a hat and mask on.

“I probably smell a bit… I’ve been sitting at my desk all day and couldn’t get a chance to shower.”

“Of course not. You’re only supposed to be at the sauna for a short break. I haven’t showered either, so let’s wash up together. How long can you stay?”

“I can stay for up to an hour.”

“Before that—just a sec, I have something for you.”

“What is it?”

“A gift.”

I took out a gift from the shopping bag—an adorable turtle piggy bank about the size of two adult fists put together.

It was a simple, kid’s bank that cost about 10,000 won.

“Aww, it’s so cute! Thank you so much.”

“It’s just a cheap little piggy bank; no need to be so grateful.”

“But it’s from you, so it means a lot. Plus, it’s super cute!”

“Do you know why it’s a turtle and not a pig?”

“Why?”

I grinned mischievously and pressed the turtle’s head against her hip, making her giggle and squirm.

“Hey! You’re so cheeky! Was that the hidden meaning?”

“Kind of. But the bank is just the packaging—the real gift is inside. Open it.”

“A real gift inside?”

Hyena looked surprised and carefully opened the back of the turtle bank.

I really hoped she would like the real gift I put inside.

It was everything I earned yesterday from the 15 million won incentive bonus I received that morning.

Seeing the contents, Hyena looked at me in shock.

“O-oppa, is this… gold?”

“Yes. It’s 99.99% pure gold, certified by the Korea Gold Exchange. There’s one 100g gold bar and three 10g bars, totaling 130g.”

“Th-then, how much is all of this?”

“The gold itself was 13 million won, but with taxes and fees, it came to around 15 million. It’s a gift.”

If I gave her the money directly, I had a feeling she wouldn’t accept it.

And for a first gift, I wanted something she could actually keep.

Luxury goods seemed too impractical, and they’re not really her style.

If it were around 200 or 300 thousand won, I might have bought something like a designer item as a big gesture.

But with 15 million, I wanted to give her a meaningful gift with lasting value.

Something beautiful, something she could keep for a long time, and something that wouldn’t lose value over time.

Gold fit that perfectly.

“O-oppa…”

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She was moved, right?

I hoped I had chosen well.

A professor once said no woman dislikes gold.

“How could you give something so expensive to someone like me?”

“I wanted to give you everything from my first paycheck. Although, technically, it’s more like a day’s pay.”

“O-oppa!”

Hyena set the turtle bank down and threw her arms around me. My erection was pressing insistently against her lower stomach.

“Hyena, could we, um, finish talking after we… come together?”

“I’ll go shower first.”

“Let’s go together.”

In a flash, we were both naked, wrapped around each other as we entered the bathroom.

As soon as the shower was on, I entered her from behind.

With the water streaming down, we kissed continuously and pressed against each other.

In that hour, I climaxed five times.

I only thrusted during the first and last sessions, while the remaining three were Hyena helping me out with her hands and mouth, only moving to her body at the final moments.

After a thorough shower, Hyena felt refreshed and returned to work.

I took the gift with me back home, thinking it was too valuable for her to carry with her to the office.
