Chapter Title: The Virgin Team Leader
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Uh…. Young Master?"
"How long have you been doing it?"
"Pardon?"
"How long have you been offering up this sexy, slutty body of yours?"
"..."
I deliberately phrased it crudely.
How would she react?
Would she get angry?
Or deny it, saying nothing like that ever happened.
It was hard to imagine that a woman this pretty had never done any sexual favors once in a police force that corrupt. And she wasn't some low-level grunt either.
Just the fact that she'd volunteered to guard me right away suggested it was on orders from the police commissioner, so there had to be something there.
"Oh, come on…."
I figured since I'd blurted it out without any filter, she'd at least get pissed off or show some displeasure, but her reaction was a bit unexpected.
"Young Master, what do you take me for? Do I look that stupid to you?"
"?"
What did being stupid have to do with anything?
"Offering yourself up is meaningless unless you get the highest price for your most valuable asset."
She spouted some nonsense like that, then slyly guided my hand—still gripping her ass—around to the front.
I felt her waistband through the taut fabric of her skirt.
"Do you think a cop like me would sell her body for something as trivial as a promotion? It has to be worth at least…. something that changes her life."
"..."
She leaned into me subtly.
"I'm still a virgin."
I'd just heard something utterly ridiculous.
"…You're a virgin?"
"Should I take that skepticism as a compliment on my looks?"
"Hah…."
It was so absurd that I didn't say a word the whole way out to the lobby.
Im Soo-ah, a virgin.
Did that even make sense?
She was a woman with killer looks and a body so stunning it made me wonder why someone like her would even be a cop—yet she claimed to be a virgin?
Her attitude was pretty forward too.
She didn't complain even when I groped her ass like crazy; she even subtly pushed it out more, like she wanted me to get comfortable with it.
But a virgin?
"Well…. it could happen. It's a game, after all, at its core."
I decided to accept it for now.
She said she was a virgin—what else could I do?
"But she's openly advertising it…. Does she want me to take her?"
I'd dropped some hints about the drugs we found in the basement, so she probably figured she could get something life-changing from me.
"Then…. I'll send Seo Aram off for secretary training at Goryeo Prestige, and have this one fill in as my secretary in the meantime."
She probably wouldn't be all that loyal or professional, but since I wasn't planning on doing anything major right now, it should be fine.
I could always train her up properly later if she proved useful.
'Should I take her tonight?'
The moment our eyes met, I started thinking about marriage and all that—like some classic shut-in fantasy—but the signals Im Soo-ah was sending made it seem definite.
'Whoa. Actual sex?'
Having lived as a total shut-in loser who barely left his room, let alone met women, I couldn't contain my excitement now that real sex was within reach.
The sex addiction effect was probably kicking in too.
'Good thing I'm a chaebol scumbag in all this. No need to worry about optics.'
Being in a position where I didn't have to read the other person's mood was a huge advantage.
It gave me a whole different level of leeway.
Lucky in every way.
As I sat down in the lobby chair, I said,
"I'm looking for a secretary right now."
"A secretary? You don't even have a driver."
"Time to go independent. I'm old enough. Gotta fill the secretary spot with my own people."
It was basically punishment for screwing around, but I packaged it to sound reasonable.
"I'll bring in Seo Aram as my secretary and send her to Goryeo Prestige for training. She's a total civilian with no ties to this world."
"Ah, so that's why you covered her mom's hospital bills."
"Can't have my secretary bogged down with useless drama."
"…But if you send the secretary you just hired off for training…. won't the spot open up again? It's not gonna be over in a day or two."
"Gotta hire one more then. Someone who can handle stuff right away."
I stuck a cigarette in my mouth and chewed on it.
Wanted to light up, but it was a hospital, so I held off.
"What you saw earlier, plus a guarantee that it'll change your life. How's that?"
"Pardon?"
Soo-ah tilted her head, then her face lit up like she got it and stood from her seat.
She cleared her throat with a hem-hem, smoothed down her hiked-up skirt, then bowed at the waist.
Her blonde hair cascaded down.
"Just give the order, and I'll serve you with absolute loyalty!"
"You know what that'll entail?"
"I'll do anything you command."
"The police job okay?"
"I can report it upstairs and get assigned as your guard on a dispatch basis. Of course, if you want, I'll quit on the spot."
"Our team leader's got fire. Stay with the police. Makes you more useful that way."
.
.
Seo Aram came down about ten minutes later.
Soo-ah waved her over when she spotted her glancing around, makeup neatly fixed.
Seo Aram approached with a hint of tension, startled when she saw Im Soo-ah next to me, then bowed to me.
"Thanks for earlier. But, um, why did you…."
"'Cause you're hot and cute."
"..."
Too direct? Her expression soured.
But better to lay it out upfront—no headaches later.
"Plus, you've got skills."
"…Is that all you have to say?"
Maybe the creepy vibe made her tone chillier.
She didn't bolt, though.
"I'm looking for a secretary. Was hoping you'd do it."
"A secretary?"
"You're Goryeo Group's young master's pick. Name's Ko Moo-yeol. Our Aram caught his eye, huh?"
I hadn't given her a business card or anything (didn't have one),
but with Im Soo-ah in uniform next to me, she bought it.
"Goryeo Group…! But wh-why's a cop saying this?"
I stood and approached her.
She flinched back.
"I'll get your mom treated."
"!!"
"Secretary salary's separate, of course. Deal?"
Her eyes widened big.
"You know it, right? This path leads nowhere. The ones lending you money? They all wanna fuck you. And not just one or two. How many do you think you'll have to pay back?"
"…Aren't you being too crude?"
"I'm not being crude—your situation is. What changes if I don't say it?"
"..."
Her face hardened, tears welling up.
But no comeback.
That's how bad it was.
In the year 77 storyline, she bulldozes the world with confidence, but right now, her mental's shattered—one push and she crumbles like a rice cake.
"Be my secretary, and no more of that. I'm super possessive. I'll chase off all the flies and get your mom treated."
"…You mean that?"
"Yeah."
"What do you get out of it? Going this far…. What's in it for you?"
"You know, and you're still asking? I said it the second I saw you."
"..."
She bit her lip silently.
Swallowing her rage, her face twitched over and over before she finally spoke.
"P-please…. take responsibility for my mom…. to the end…."
+++
On the way home.
Im Soo-ah was at the wheel, Seo Aram sitting rigidly next to me.
The scenery whipped by outside the window—night had fallen, neon lights blazing everywhere.
I called Chief Secretary Han.
He'd be swamped with personnel shifts, but he always picked up my calls promptly.
— Yes, Young Master. Chief Secretary Han speaking.
"Found a secretary. Sending you my address and her info—pick her up tomorrow morning."
— You want her trained? Understood.
"Her family situation's messy. Clean it up nice, make sure no weird shit lingers."
— Got it. Anything else?
"One more. She's a police team leader…."
"Incheon Autonomous Police, Songdo Innovation Future City Third Public Support Team Leader Im Soo-ah reporting!"
"Hear that? She says she can guard me on dispatch. Make it happen. Possible?"
— Of course. I'll handle it smoothly. Should we start her training tomorrow too?
"Nah, she's good. Just send basic docs. Or attach a subordinate."
— Yes, sir. I'll send up a reliable guy.
"Good. Sorry it's late. Thanks."
— Yes. See you tomorrow. Have a peaceful night.
I hung up and glanced over. Seo Aram, who'd accepted my offer, still stared down tensely.
Even that pitiful look was cute; I stared blankly until she slyly glanced my way, then whipped her head forward when our eyes met.
My lust exploded.
Wanted to do it right there in the car.
'…Hold back.'
But I held off.
Nothing I couldn't do in a car, but not her first time here—and Seo Aram wasn't ripe(?) yet.
I wanted her after proper secretary training, with some loyalty and skills.
So for now….
'I'll hold it and dump it all on Im Soo-ah.'
.
.
We arrived at the Songdo mansion.
Way bigger and flashier than on the app.
'Whoa….'
The hotel suite was luxurious too, but rented—so meh.
This was my real house.
My own place.
'Fucking huge.'
The house was massive, and the yard too.
Mini pond, pool, garden all cute and tidy.
And was it the uniform that was sexy, or her body?
Her waist was insanely slim against those huge tits—like it'd snap if I hugged her hard.
'….'
Yeah.
The house barely registered.
Not even the drug crates her subordinates left.
Been horny as hell since we got here.
I forced my eyes to Seo Aram.
"Pick a room and crash. Don't forget early morning tomorrow. Go."
"Um…."
"What."
"N-nothing. Got it."
She hesitated, eyeing my obvious bulge through my pants, bowed, and headed upstairs.
"Young Master, what about me?"
"You…."
I turned back.
In that split second, Im Soo-ah had unbuttoned her uniform top, baring an impossibly deep cleavage.
"Like this?"
