OMS 48

Park Dong-sik mumbled while looking in the mirror with a toothbrush in his mouth. “Hey, Lee Hee-soo. How many nations did you save in your past life, huh? How can three wealthy men (including your father-in-law) be interested in you?”

Conversely, Park Dong-sik must have been a traitor who sold out his country in a past life. That would explain his miserable fate. After rinsing his mouth, Park Dong-sik came out and took another birth control pill just in case. Then he put a pain relief patch on his waist and went to the sofa.

On the table was the card key that Kim Tae-han had given him, placed in a box. His mind was troubled. How would Kim Tae-han react if he found out the Lee Hee-soo in front of him was a fake? Would he still be able to love him regardless of everything?

With a troubled expression, he lay down on the sofa and turned on the TV to find the news playing. There was a story about the recent fire in Jongno. When they mentioned that the discovered body was identified as loan shark Moon Ho-cheol, Park Dong-sik bit his lower lip.

So it really was Moon Ho-cheol. Thinking about who the culprit could be, only Kim Jun-han came to mind at the moment. Even for a bad person, burning someone to death…Would he dispose of me the same way if I fell out of favor with him?

Park Dong-sik got up from his seat while leaving the TV on. You need to know your enemy to either fight or flee. Unfortunately, all he knew about him was that he was the eldest son of the Daesan Group.

After contemplating for a while, Park Dong-sik went to his bedroom door and knocked. There was total silence. When he turned the doorknob and pulled, the bedroom scene was revealed. It was sparsely furnished with just a bed and table, with an overall dark atmosphere.

Since access was restricted, he carefully looked around for anything unusual but found nothing remarkable. After circling the room once, he opened the glass door and moved to the dressing room.

It felt distinctly different from Lee Hee-soo’s dressing room. The shirts were mostly white, while everything else was predominantly black. On the opposite side was a storage cabinet displaying shoes, bags, watches, cufflinks, and tie pins.

He’d expected extravagance from a corporate CEO, but compared to Kim Tae-han and Lee Hee-soo, he was rather modest. Come to think of it, Kim Jun-han always wore similar watches. It was  admirable that someone like that gave out such generous living expenses.

While walking around, he noticed another door inside. This space didn’t exist in Lee Hee-soo’s room. Wonder what’s in there. Curious, he grabbed the doorknob and turned it. Click—the door opened easily, and inside was an empty space with a single painting hanging.

Moon Ho-cheol had a safe hidden in a place like this, maybe Kim Jun-han does too? Feeling  curious, he removed the painting but there he found a button instead of a safe. What’s this? Without hesitation, he pressed it, and with a grinding sound, the wall shifted to reveal a space.

“Wow.”

Park Dong-sik carefully entered but stopped. There was a large TV that turned on as soon as it was powered. It clearly wasn’t ordinary CCTV footage. Surprisingly, the first thing he saw was Kim Tae-han’s dressing room. The screen showed exactly where Kim Tae-han and Lee Hee-soo had had sex.

“Damn…what a pervert…”

Park Dong-sik furrowed his brow and checked the other screens. There were several cameras in the main house too, but rather than bedrooms or studies, they showed the reception room, entrance, and stairs where guests were mainly received, perhaps to monitor outside visitors, who were entering the main house.

While watching in disbelief, Chairman Kim appeared in the reception room on screen. Madam Song, who followed, sat closely beside him and started rubbing against him. Surprised by this unexpected behavior, Park Dong-sik furrowed his brow. While wondering if he should go rescue Chairman Kim immediately, Madam Song straddled Chairman Kim, lifted her skirt, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Since only the back of her head was visible and Chairman Kim’s face wasn’t clear, Park Dong-sik jumped up from his seat. He needed to go rescue Chairman Kim, no, Kim Yoon-ah right away. But just as he thought this, Chairman Kim’s hands wrapped around Madam Song’s waist.

Park Dong-sik couldn’t take his eyes off the screen, his expression pale with shock.

[We have a lot in common.]

[Up close, you’re as delicate as a young girl. And quite beautiful too.]

Park Dong-sik couldn’t sit or stand, just leaning on the table while closely watching the screen. Their intimate act was becoming increasingly explicit. Kim Yoon-ah was a beta. Did she always like women? Or did she never feel maternal love and was drawn to Madam Song’s affection?

His mind was becoming hazy. While thinking about how to process this, Madam Song moved her hips. Oh my God. Park Dong-sik couldn’t bear to watch anymore and turned off the screen, holding his forehead.

“Ah, Yoon-ah…baby…are you crazy…?”

Muttering to himself, Park Dong-sik collected himself, cleaned up, and closed the door. As he was leaving the dressing room, he heard a sound from outside. Realizing it was Kim Jun-han, he stopped at the door.

His heart started pounding as the sound got closer.

Looking around for a hiding place, he quickly crawled under the bed as a last resort.

While hoping his pheromones wouldn’t act up and trying to think pure thoughts, Kim Jun-han entered. He held his breath as much as possible. He heard him talking on the phone, then it switched to speaker mode as he seemed to be changing clothes.

[What should we do about Moon Ho-cheol’s subordinates?]

Park Dong-sik bit his lip hard. So it turned out to be Jun-han’s doing after all.

“Just watch them for now. If they show any suspicious moves, clean it up.”

[Oh, and Chairman Jung’s son stopped by this afternoon.]

“Jung Sun-woo? Why?”

[Said he thought of you while passing by. He didn’t come up to the office. Just left a gift in the lobby. I’ll give it to you tomorrow.]

“Forget it. You keep it.”

[But it’s a gift and an expensive one at that. How can I?]

“Don’t make me repeat myself.”

[Yes, sir.]

“How’s Tae-han? I heard he came by today.”

[The executives’ mood isn’t great. It’s because he suddenly got the position without any practical experience. Even Director Yu quietly asked me if the Chairman might have dementia.]

Kim Jun-han laughed silently. Maybe he really does have dementia.

“It’ll take a few weeks to wrap up the movie business, so make sure there’s a position ready for him in the Planning Office until then. He’s just protesting against me, so it won’t last long.”

[Protesting?]

“I took something from him.”

Park Dong-sik, who had been quietly listening, tried to calm his pounding heart. Is he talking about me when he says he “took something”? Listening to this, it sounds like quite a plausible love triangle. The call ended, and footsteps could be heard.

He knew he should make a quick escape while Kim Jun-yan was in the bathroom. While waiting for his chance, suddenly Kim Jun-han’s face appeared before him. 

“Aaah!” Startled, Park Dong-sik screamed and hit his head on the bed frame as he tried to get up.

“Ah, shit.” While he was rolling around holding his head, Kim Jun-han grabbed his arm and pulled. Being dragged out like a sack, the embarrassment was worse than the pain. When Park Dong-sik gave an awkward smile, Kim Jun-han looked at him in disbelief.

“What are you, a mouse? Why were you under there?”

“…”

“I told you not to enter my bedroom.”

“I just came to look around, and something rolled under the bed…I was looking for that…”

“Where could it be? I dropped it right here…” As he pretended to search while peering around, Kim Jun-han’s expression turned cold. Sensing he was about to be thrown out, Park Dong-sik decided to be direct.

“I wasn’t trying to spy, but our CEO, who looks so proper, has some strange hobbies. Do the family members know about the surveillance cameras? There was one in Kim Tae-han’s dressing room too—did you peek at us having sex?”

Kim Jun-han snorted derisively.

“I told you before. I have more than enough evidence. Where do you think it came from?”

“There were cameras near the main house stairs too—did you see who pushed the Chairman?”

“No.”

Park Dong-sik was stunned by his immediate denial. There’s no way he doesn’t know. Kim Jun-han must know that his brother pushed their father’s wheelchair. How can he lie so smoothly without batting an eye?

On the other hand, he was scared of someone who would do anything to get what he wanted. If I lose my value, would he make me disappear without a trace? Like Hee-soo’s lover. Like Moon Ho-cheol.

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

Park Dong-sik got up and dusted himself off. “Nothing. I’ll leave now. Sorry for the intrusion.” 

As he tried to brazenly excuse himself and escape, Kim Jun-han grabbed his wrist. As he subtly rubbed the inside of his wrist with his thumb, Park Dong-sik’s nape suddenly felt hot. And with him releasing his pheromones too, things were starting to stir. He tried to shake off his hand quickly, but Kim Jun-han was faster.

“Wait here while I shower.”

“Why?”

“You invaded my territory without permission, so you need to pay the price.”

“What? rAe you going to hit me?”

“That’s for me to decide. The guilty party just needs to accept their punishment.”

His words were so irritating and spiteful. While glaring at him, he nonchalantly took off his shirt and disappeared into the bathroom. Though Park Dong-sik cursed internally, seeing those rippling muscles happened to pique his interest, and ultimately unable to resist his desires, he sat demurely on the bed waiting for Kim Jun-han.
