Hyunwoo quickly ran away from the porch to give Suji some time to take a shower, but the thing was whether the supermarket was still open.

When they came into the village some time ago, the supermarket was open, but it might be closed by now as it was late at night.

Maybe a few cans of beer could determine Hyunwoo’s fate tonight.

He ran to the supermarket that was about 150 meters away from her house, at full speed. The owner was about to close the door. If he had arrived there just a little bit later, he might have had to knock on the door.

He purchased six cans of beer and walked back slowly.

While walking back, he was totally lost in thoughts about her.

What kind of clothes will she wear after taking a shower?

Though it was his wishful thinking, he wished she would just put on a bathrobe without wearing any underwear.

Do I need to take a shower, too?

Though he took a shower with hot water that the morning, his body would have gotten dirty in the meantime. When he thought as far as that, he giggled in spite of himself.

I think I am counting my chickens before they’re hatched. Let me drink beer first.

When he arrived at her house, he waited for about five minutes outside then rang the bell.

The front door opened immediately as if she was ready.

She didn’t put on a bathrobe but a comfortable tracksuit, but that kind of jogging suit turned on him all the more. Though it was a long sleeves and pants style, it was very thin and tight enough to reveal her bosom, waist, and pelvis. Hyunwoo found himself scanning her body from head to feet in spite of himself.

“Oh my god! What are you doing now? Just come in quickly.”

They called it apple hip on TV when they saw a woman’s tight and rising buttocks. Suji’s hips were like that. Hyunwoo’s heart began to pound. Suji prepared some side dishes such as peanuts and seasoned seaweed.

“How is your work at the company?” said Hyunwoo to break the ice first.

“Well, a stalker is following me at the company,” she said, reeling off company life.

“Hummm… What a miserable guy! How could he set an eye on a girl who has a boyfriend?” said Hyunwoo sarcastically.

Suji just smiled at that, as if she agreed with him, “Let’s have a drink.”

They drank beer together.

He cracked a peanut with his teeth and held it out to her. Looking at him, she took it with her lips then tried to step back, but he couldn’t miss the chance. He held the back of her head with his hand and kissed her. She didn’t resist this time and began to move her lips like him.

Then, he gently put his hand in her hair, on her neck then her waist before stopping for a moment. Her thin and flexible tracksuit seemed to make him feel her body at his fingertips.

Whenever he moved his hands, her body wriggled. She didn’t try to stop him, which made him freely touch her side and armpit up and down. He was agonizing over what to do next now.

What should I do?

He gently raised his hand and cupped her face then put his fingertips on her neck and collarbone all the way down. Obviously, he wanted to touch her bosom now but didn’t press on it like before.

Until then, she seemed not to have been undecided how to respond, just looking at him. And then she avoided his eyes as if she was resigned.

Now, he cautiously began to kiss her lips with his hand on her bosom.

She closed her eyes when he kissed deeply, grasping her bosom at the same time.

She didn’t resist, staying silent at the mercy of his lips and hands. He could feel her strong physical desire in her wriggling body, too. Just like he wanted to have more physical contact, she did as well, but he was prudent to the end. As if he wanted to sound out her feelings, he put his hand down her body slowly, feeling her gentle trembling as well as rough breathing. Then, he took off the upper jacket of her tracksuit and reached her underwear at last, but she stopped him at that moment, holding back her rough breathing.

“My room is upstairs…” she said.

Chirp, chirp.

A song chirped outside the window.

Hyunwoo opened his eyes gently.

The sun had risen already, shining a light through the window brightly.

He turned his head and found her asleep, with her head leaning on his shoulder.

It looked like she was tired last night, given her sound sleeping.

She was wearing pajamas, unfortunately, while he was naked in bed.

He cautiously he moved his hand and put it on her back before undoing her bra.

Can I undo the hooks with one hand?

He gave it a try with patience but stopped suddenly when he found she was smiling a bit.

“Are you awake?”

She responded by moving her body at his quiet question.

And she lay face down, so he could have sex with her easily.

He didn’t have any reason to hesitate now.

He took off her underwear quickly, along with her pants.

Her tight and white buttocks were exposed, which made her scream briefly.

“Oh my god! What are you doing?”

“I just want to enjoy the taste of your buttocks.”

Then, he bit her buttocks gently and kissed her whole body with his lips like yesterday. She was now more aggressively responding to his touch. Then, they had another round of burning sex.

***

At the office of Ani & Funny, Hyunwoo had an exclusive office as its president, but he was always in the office with the staff. Though Kyungsu wanted him to go back to his office, complaining that the staff felt uncomfortable about his presence in the office, he didn’t care.

“Well, they will be alright once they get accustomed to it. And I am not in the office with them often. As you know, the partition wall here is high enough, so they might not be conscious of me that much,” said Hyunwoo.

Hyunwoo guaranteed the staff as much liberty as possible in the office. For example, he allowed them to freely adjust working hours when they had a compelling reason, but he didn’t allow any behavior that could do harm to the atmosphere of the office. If that happened, he made sure Kyungsu and Sanggyu issued a tough warning.

If they still failed to listen to the warning, Hyunwoo fired them mercilessly.

Some cheerful personalities like Yujong Suh and Kunho Chung even pulled pranks on him.

Kyunsu was concerned about that, complaining to Hyunwoo that he needed to establish authority as the president.

Hyunwoo disagreed with him and said, “What’s the point of showing my authority?”

Instead of showing his authority, Hyunwoo thought hard about how to raise their motivation, and he concluded a guaranteed compensation was the best way.

Extra bonuses were Hyunwoo’s idea.

Of course, he didn’t reveal any individual’s compensation. He gave the bonus to those staff members that Kyungsu and Sanggyu recommended for their excellent work.

Accordingly, nobody knew how big of a bonus each of them received. They could only make an educated guess, based on each individual’s performance or working speed.

Even today was no exception.

As it was about time for everybody to get off work, there was nobody ready to leave the office.

Hyunwoo first stood up to leave the office. He reported to work late and got off work quickly ahead of anybody else.

And he had an appointment with some members of KOVE DREAM this evening.

At that moment, he heard a knock on the door outside.

“Hello!” said Heejung Yang and her five friends, as well as seven Anifan kids, came into the office in droves.

The students arrived around this time of the day as soon as their schoolwork was over.

Anifan kids were walking on air these days because of the money that Jihoon Kang and Suhim Yu had received in copyrights fee.

Heejung and her friends were as much excited because they expected that they might enjoy the same benefits someday if they worked really hard.

In fact, Hyunwoo had some complaints about the students, and those Anifan kids, in particular.

The reason was that they were so slow in making progress. Given that Hyunwoo’s expectation of their performance was ten, their performances were only five or six out of ten.

That was the same case with Heejung and her friends, too. Two of them showed satisfactory performances, but others didn’t.

Hyunwoo felt the main reason was the lack of any sense of purpose on their part.

They just liked animation vaguely without any specific goal.

With no sense of challenge or urgency, they just idled away day by day, but the payment of copyright fees to Jihoon and Suhim obviously motivated them.

Hyunwoo hoped they could maintain that kind of purposeful attitude for a long time.

However, the students acted strangely when they came into the office today.

They seemed to try to read the staff’s minds as if they were guilty.

What was more strange was that more and more students were coming into the office, in addition to the original 12 members who were supposed to take evening tutoring there.

The office door was closed when a total of twenty students came in.

Now, Hyunwoo seemed to figure out what was the problem.

Kyungsu asked the question on behalf of Hyunwoo, “Who the hell are you, by the way?”

They poked each other in the ribs among themselves at his question.

Finally, one girl raised her hand and came forward, “Can we learn the animation lesson here, too?”

Hearing their explanation, Hyunwoo realized that they were members of an internet cafe on animation with its membership reaching 150,000 people.

All of them lived in Ansan and came to know Heejung’s friends through the internet cafe.

In fact, Ani & Funny was short of hands all the time. Though Suhim kept producing animation stories, there was not enough staff to put them into animation, which delayed their work often.

There were a total of seven full-time workers including Hyunwoo. Recently Heejung and her friends, as well as seven Anifan kids, joined them making almost twenty, all told.

The office was not spacious enough to house them all, and it seemed like there would be more students coming in the days ahead once he approved them.

How can I help them? I wish I wanted to house the guys with talent and enthusiasm and raise them fully.

At that moment, he hit on a good idea.

Yea, that’s the best policy!

Hyunwoo called the students, along with Kyungsu and Sanggyu.

“As you know the office space here is not large enough. I can’t accept you all.”

They nodded but still didn’t give up.

“Just show me your talent. Let me figure out when your talent is good enough for us and then make the final decision.”

Hyunwoo continued with some emphasis, “Even those who pass the test this time will leave here in a couple of months when we find out they fail to show their real potential.”

Their eyes opened wide. In other words, they were supposed to show their talents for the next couple of months.

This time Hyunwoo suddenly turned to Anifan kids and Heejung and her friends, “You guys are no exception!”
