Spin-off Ch 1

    “Where has the CEO gone?”

    At Se-hyun’s question, Chief Secretary Lee Jin-ho, tilted his head to look at the CEO’s office and muttered.

    “Seems he’s stepped out for a moment. Maybe he went to the bathroom.”

    He sounded unconcerned, but Se-hyun didn’t let it slide.

    “He’s been away from his desk for twenty minutes already.”

    “He could be taking care of some business. Twenty minutes is just about right. Is there a meeting that got moved up?”

    As Lee Jin-ho muttered while checking his watch, Se-hyun took out his tablet to check the schedule. There were about thirty minutes left until the Planning Department’s presentation, and nothing else had changed.

    “That’s not the case.”

    “Then let’s wait patiently. Want to grab a coffee with me?”

    Lee Jin-ho offered to treat and led Se-hyun toward the elevator. Without even waiting for an answer, he pressed the down button.

    Shortly after, the arrival chime sounded and the elevator doors opened. However, even while looking at the open doors, Se-hyun didn’t get on the elevator.

    “Chief.”

    “Yes?”

    “Today marks 123 days since I started dating the CEO.”

    Se-hyun said while looking at the control panel. Lee Jin-ho just nodded, not finding it strange at all.

    “Wasn’t it 111 days just recently?”

    While saying that ten days had already passed, no one pointed out the oddity of the specific number 123.

    This was all because of Shin Tae-oh.

    “The CEO might be preparing something for the 123rd day. He could be in the bathroom or at a store somewhere right now.”

    This was why Se-hyun had been looking for Shin Tae-oh.

    There was no way Shin Tae-oh, who would give gifts to Yoo Jin-ha whenever he found something he liked, wouldn’t buy anything for Se-hyun. Of course, Se-hyun didn’t refuse gifts as Yoo Jin-ha did. He accepted moderately and rejected moderately.

    However, as time passed, he couldn’t stop Shin Tae-oh’s escalating behavior. There were already two cars registered under Se-hyun’s name. He received them on the 66th and 69th day, just three days apart.

    The reason for the 66th and 69th days specifically was that 66 was a consecutive repetition of the same number, and 69 was the largest two-digit number, with 6 in the tens place.

    It seemed like nonsense, but it was admirable how Shin Tae-oh managed to find reasons for everything.

    “There’s not much time left, so he probably hasn’t gone far. I’ll check the nearby boutiques. I’ll be back in time.”

    Se-hyun got into the elevator and pressed the close button. As the doors were slowly closing, Se-hyun seemed to remember something and spoke to Lee Jin-ho.

    “I’ll have coffee when I get back.”

    He didn’t forget about the coffee even in this situation. As the doors closed and the numbers on the control panel started dropping, Lee Jin-ho picked up his phone. He dialed a familiar number and connected the call.

    “Sir, you’ve been found out.”

    Shin Tae-oh’s request to buy more time couldn’t be fulfilled. Lee Jin-ho ignored Shin Tae-oh’s complaint about not being able to keep Se-hyun in check.

    “I think he’ll be there soon, shouldn’t you hide?”

    Instead, he informed him of what needed to be done now, and Shin Tae-oh quickly hung up. Lee Jin-ho clicked his tongue at such a transparent reaction.

    “Why bother hiding?”

    He couldn’t understand why Shin Tae-oh was acting this way, especially with Se-hyun who knew him so well. And all this fuss about anniversaries.

    Watching Shin Tae-oh desperately trying to buy gifts and Se-hyun managing anniversaries like daily schedules, it was like seeing the perfect match of spear and shield.

    “I give up trying to understand.”

    Lee Jin-ho coolly decided to stay out of office romances.

    ***

    Shin Tae-oh’s obsession with celebrating anniversaries began with one comment from Se-hyun.

    “A man who gives gifts randomly isn’t attractive.”

    Se-hyun had said it hoping to ward off the excessive gift-giving, but that sly cat Shin Tae-oh had instead turned it into an excuse to celebrate every possible anniversary.

    Now Shin Tae-oh started attaching all sorts of ridiculous meanings to anniversaries. As he tried to prepare gifts and events for each one, even Se-hyun could no longer tolerate Shin Tae-oh’s excessive behavior.

    As expected, when Se-hyun caught Shin Tae-oh buying something at a boutique and dragged him to clear his schedule, Shin Tae-oh abruptly took Se-hyun to his house.

    When Se-hyun pressed him about what he bought this time, Shin Tae-oh smugly said that Se-hyun would find out anyway and wouldn’t be able to return it…

    While organizing his schedule as he waited for Shin Tae-oh, Se-hyun only raised his head at the sound of movement but then froze.

    “What do you think?”

    Shin Tae-oh asked shyly with a flushed face, and Se-hyun was at a loss for words. His mouth fell open.

    Wait, what is that?

    “I thought about it, and the gift Se-hyun wants most probably isn’t a car or a watch.”

    That can’t be right.

    Who doesn’t like expensive things? He was only trying to stop Shin Tae-oh because he kept buying things excessively.

    Se-hyun cherished the two cars parked under his house, hand-washing them whenever he had the chance. Even though cars were said to be for show, he enjoyed just looking at them.

    “So I was thinking about what gift to give this time…”

    And that’s you?

    Se-hyun looked at Shin Tae-oh with eyes full of disillusionment.

    “Well? Do you like it?”

    “Is that the best you could do?”

    “Huh?”

    Shin Tae-oh looked down at his own gift. As if not understanding what was wrong, he looked back at Se-hyun with a bright smile.

    “Yeah.”

    Se-hyun covered his forehead with one hand. He was losing his mind.

    But Shin Tae-oh still didn’t seem to understand what was wrong as he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. The way he moved made something below him dangle as well, causing Se-hyun’s heart to skip a beat.

    “Tae-oh.”

    Truly dumbfounded, Se-hyun called out to Shin Tae-oh. No wonder he didn’t show what he bought right away and kept it hidden until the end.

    He’d worried it might be something outlandish, but he never expected it to be… a ribbon. And that Tae-oh would tie that ribbon around himself. More specifically, he’d tied it around…

    “The blood won’t circulate.”

    He had tied up his d1ck.

    He had wrapped a red string tightly around the shaft and even tied a ribbon knot at the base. What must he have been thinking while wrapping it up like that?

    Was it because he rushed to prepare it, afraid of being caught by Se-hyun? He had wrapped it so tightly that the tip of his d1ck was already turning dark red. It looked more dangerous than when it was about to burst during a rut, even just by looking at it.

    This seems to be at a dangerous level.

    If his eyes were drawn more to the dark red tip than the red ribbon, wasn’t this an emergency situation?

    Without taking his eyes off the d1ck, Se-hyun picked up his phone. He was ready to call 119 if necessary.

    “Untie it quickly.”

    “You untie it.”

    Se-hyun’s eyes widened at Shin Tae-oh’s outrageous words.

    “You want me to touch that bomb that looks like it’s about to explode?”

    “Of course.”

    Not understanding what was so obvious about this, Se-hyun kept his mouth shut. Shin Tae-oh raised both his hands, showing a strong determination not to untie it himself since he had tied it with his own hands.

    “The recipient should unwrap the gift.”

    That was his logic for why Se-hyun should untie it.

    “Sometimes you make nonsense sound so reasonable.”

    While Shin Tae-oh often made ridiculous remarks, he occasionally spouted something strangely convincing, and it was painfully unfortunate that this happened to be one of those times.

    Se-hyun wore an expression as if his own d1ck was tied up. He hesitated to touch the ribbon attached to Shin Tae-oh’s d1ck.

    “It’s yours.”

    “I really don’t want it to be mine just for today.”

    As Se-hyun was looking on with disgust, what happened next was even more shocking.

    “What… what are you doing now?”

    Why, why is it getting bigger?!

    “Well, of course, I’d get excited with my beloved watching me.”

    “No, no! Stop!”

    It already looked like a big problem, but if it was fully erect now, this would be hopeless. Finally, Se-hyun approached Shin Tae-oh with heavy steps.

    “Ah… I’m scared.”

    Se-hyun covered his eyes and pinched the end of the ribbon with his thumb and index finger. He felt coarse pubic hair against his fingers. If it wasn’t just his d1ck caught in the string, Shin Tae-oh would be in pain too.

    After briefly getting lost in thought, Se-hyun took a deep breath and slowly pulled on the ribbon.

    Was it prepared with the highest quality, even though it was just a ribbon? Fortunately, the ribbon began to unravel smoothly enough that he didn’t need to use both hands.

    Feeling this, Se-hyun lowered the hand covering his eyes and looked at Shin Tae-oh’s lower half. As the ribbon loosened and the string wrapped around the shaft relaxed, the suffering d1ck seemed to breathe again and started regaining vitality.

    What was half-erect became fully energized and thrust its head forward.

    “Look at this. It’s back to normal.”

    Having narrowly avoided a crisis that could have cut off the tip of his d1ck, Shin Tae-oh spoke with a bright face devoid of any tension.

    Seeing this, Se-hyun muttered with shocked eyes.

    “This crazy mystery of the human body.”
