13 days of witches: the witch-poisoner, La Voison
"...let me have / A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear / As will disperse itself through all the veins / That the life-weary taker may fall dead." — William Shakespeare
Louis XIV, "the Sun King," is in his ascendancy, while the aristocracy continues to revel, Icarus-like, in their dwindling power. Against the background of their contest, Catherine Deshayes, "La Voison," merchant, midwife, and fortune teller, reaches the zenith of her own, less official, influence. Rising from humble beginnings, she has become wealthy and powerful providing her services to the dissolute upper class as a sorceress and poisoner. Now her vast network of agents, allies, and clients spans the breadth of society-- including, perhaps, the king's own mistress. At the hands of La Voison or those of her many underlings, inconvenient relatives are dispensed with; love potions find their way into the cups of unwitting suitors; arcane sorceries are worked at unholy masses; an attempt is made even on the life of the king himself. Eventually the reach of the poisoner-witch extends too far, and the Sun King's agents seek her out. But even the arrest and execution of La Voison herself is not enough to stamp out her ring of crime; her allies are myriad and in low places, and while many are caught, more escape through their inconsequence; the grandiose status of her customers, however, proves too much even for the king, and the case of the Affair of Poisons is officially closed to avoid bringing unbearable scandal down on the nation.

Scented Poison: Poison That Spreads (Pt 2)
Jaemin ft Jaehyun
Tumblr media
Words. 19k
SYNOPSIS. Your mind is imbedded on Na Jaemin. You can't stop thinking about it, especially now that you have his number. It was supposed to be merely a one night stand (even though you had already done it twice with the man that was not your husband), yet you've found solitude and refuge in crawling back to your friend's husband, Jaemin, with your legs wide open. However your infidelity is challenged by the reoccurring presence of your husband, Jaehyun who begins paying attention to your needs. Your only problem is that you've let Jaemin somewhat in your heart, you've let the poison of him sink into you.
WARNING(s). Longshot. Smut (infidelity, car session, consensual, rough/dominant, submissive, dry humping). Angst (guilty).
Masterlist: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
Tumblr media
Jaemin gave you his contact after the lunch break, well, he left it on a piece of paper telling you to call him whenever you’d feel needy. That was two weeks and a half back. You promised yourself that you would not dare to call his number especially after that steamy quickie in the café washroom… However his number was no longer on the piece of paper he gave, but instead for some sexual reason, it’s on your phone contacts. You wouldn't call him, is what you kept telling yourself. You wouldn't betray your husband by letting another man in between your legs again. Even though you already did so. Two times now.
But tonight, in this moment as your breath heaves with desire, you finish your meal and rest in your night gown and robe visualizing and feeling needy. You can't help but miss Jaehyun more and more. If you remember correctly, you were never sex deprived when he started staying late at work, you were just restlessly restless. You wanted him, needed him but slowly as he drifted to work you forced yourself to be on bay. But ever since Jaemin…
It's awakened your desires that you had put to sleep. As you make your way to your room and rest on your bed your eyes stare heavily with lust at the clock. Jaemin’s number forming in your head, and your legs crossing in desire. You gasp out when it reach 11pm. Your gaze rests on your phone screen and at Jaemin's number, you can't help it when your legs clench together creating friction around your womanhood. You can just call Jaehyun and do as you did back then, seduced him to come home. But knowing him now, you know his phone is off. Free of distraction. Which is fine, he needs to work anyway. The only one now, who can give it to you is…
"Jaemin," You breath out as he finally answers the call after several rings.
"I was wondering when you'd call me," You hear him and feel that there's a smile on his face. "Are you alone?"
"Mhm,"
"Are you wet?"
One question and already you feel so soaked. "Mhm,"
"Let me hear you moan."
On command the moan leaves your lips. It surprises you more than it should, but you rest on your headboard. Suddenly your hand has a mind of its own and swarms up your thigh to the opening of your silk night dress. Jaemin chuckles, it's enough for you to rub yourself listening to his husky voice. The moment you finger touches the sleek and smooth wetness of your throbbing core, you desperately rub your fingers around the little nob- earning Jaemin’s ears a wave of satisfying moans.
He groans on the call edging you more. “Fuck baby, you’re really touching yourself to the thought of me? To the sound of my voice?” Jaemin chuckles humming out with his raspy voice. "How does that feel?"
You moan out again, keeping the phone close to your ear as your legs part and bend with your other hand slipping inside your throbbing core. You feel your heat and roll your eyes shut, remembering Jaemin’s fingers entering inside of you and slurping as he rampaged on your pussy with such unknown speed. You try to resemble the act, and instantly your hand runs on speed and the only sound heard in the room is slurps of your fingers pounding into yourself. You gasp and moan allowed.
“Say my name baby, fuck, say it, let me hear you,” Jaemin pants out, and you can only guess that he’s at work palming himself or even rubbing himself as you hear his husky breaths turn into grunts of pleasure.
“Jaemin ah,” You moan aloud, your legs closing up with your own hand still speeding up. “Jaemin~” You exhale out your eyes trying to open as you try to picture his face on your mind.
"I wanna see what you're doing. You’re driving me crazy with your moans," He says. "I'm gonna cut the call to video call you instead, do you think you can prepare for me something delicious?"
“Mhm,” You hum out, slowing down, hearing your own heart trying to calm down.
Making the decision for him, you cut the call quick and wait for him while you slowly rub yourself. A name pops up on the screen and immediately you answer it meeting his thirsty face. As expected he’s in his work clothes, he seems to be in a secluded area as you hear low music playing. He grins seeing your own flustered face.
What are doing? You shake your head lowering the phone shamefully down to show of your figure in the pink silky night dress. Jaemin's face lights up and his mouth waters before he quickly puts on his earphones.
"Are you gonna touch yourself for me?" He asks. "I know you like it hard so go ahead and place three digits in your wet pussy, fuck."
It's already bad, so you continue.

11:09 pm
Chae-won gets up from her seat the time it reaches 11pm. She closes her laptop and places it in her bag along with her notepad and some money that was in an envelope. In her hand she holds some of the folders that her boss, Jaehyun wanted.
Sometimes she wonders why she stays this late with him. He had given her the will to clock out the same time as everyone else which was at 6:30 pm. But still even with his assurance to leave she stayed. She remembers that the first few times she'd stay because she wanted maintain a good work ethics and profile but as time stretched onwards it became a habit.
She presses the intercom button speaking onto the little mic. "Sir, you said I should drop these papers before I leave."
A long dragging silence makes itself known to her ears before he responds at last. "Enter."
She also wonders why he never uses the intercom if he installed it for himself to communicate with her. She opens up the door spotting him sitting near the large open view with his laptop.
"Are you leaving now?" He asks not lifting up his eyes to meet her.
"Yes sir. Oh, Mr Kun called and said the oud test samples are out and that whenever you can you should drop by."
Jaehyun nods his head. "You can leave the papers on my desk. Remind me first thing in the morning to go over to him."
"Yes sir." She nods her head walking to his desk placing the folders down neatly. She smiles to herself that his desk looked less cluttered and a bit organized. At night his office looked nice and a bit dim with the table lamp arched upwards to give light. He preferred using the lamp rather than the ceiling light. It had a more sensual feel rather than work feel, but Chae-won wouldn’t say that out loud. In his office he could dim the lights or make them bright, but it seemed he liked it when it was on low light. When she turns to where he is, she understands why he likes the lights low.
Because the view of the city light, the city looked so beautiful at night. A surreal cyberpunk aesthetic. Neon lights reflect off the buildings and street signs that glow orange against the dark sky. The sound of lonely distant cars whizzing by is almost hypnotic. It is hard not to get caught up in it all. The glass wall view definitely a stunning installment to his whole office "Wow,"
Jaehyun's ears perk up by her little expression and he turns his head to her. She was struck so much by the beauty of the outside that when her attention turned back to him, his eyes are still on her. "Can I… take a picture of it?"
Jaehyun removes his glasses not having a clue of what she's talking about. "Of what?"
"The view outside."
His eyebrow raises and he turns around. For some reason, the view that he's grown so accustomed to looks so different tonight. He's slightly gob smacked by its appearance.
It was beautiful and right in front of him but he didn't even notice.
"It's beautiful isn't?" She asks rhetorically.
He gets up from his seat taking his laptop with him, walking the long way to his table to take a look at the documents she brought in. Curiously he looks up seeing her still fascinated and infatuated by the view of the city below.
"You really like it don't you?"
She nods her head. He then looks outside sitting on the side of his desk looking outside too. He takes out his phone from his pocket removing it from plane mode. "Don't you like it sir?"
"It's spectacular." He remarks.
Chae-won nods her head being glad when seeing him moving off the table a little closer to the view. Not only is the view wonderful but so is the size of his phone and the quality she thinks, it brings the picture out more.
Jaehyun then turns to her with a wondering look. Chae-won blushes a little by his soft look and not his cold gaze. "How do you go home at this time of night? Transport? Last time I saw you walk,"
"I walk sir," she nods her head. "I walk to the train station and wait for the midnight train. I should get going,"
Jaehyun frowns a little. "But it's dangerous."
"I've got pepper spray in my bag so it's not that dangerous," she tries to joke but his face doesn't change.
He looks down to his phone before placing it to his ear. "Where are you? Figured so. I need you to drop my assistant at home,"
Her eyes widen and she's frozen. Just two weeks ago he said that they weren't friends and she shouldn't even consider it as a thought. But slowly he has been a little bit more… attentive to her.
He cuts the call and looks to her. "Forgive me for deciding that without your consent. I can't let you walk anymore. It's not safe out there. Haven't you been following the news?"
Oh right. The loose serial killer. Haven't really been paying attention to the news, especially since she got home around 1am and would have to sleep to get up early again around 5am.
"Thank you sir. Thank you very much."
He heads back to his table. "You remember Taeyong right?"
"The one-night stand guy."
Jaehyun's lips twitch a little to a smile and Chae-won's heart warms. "Yes him. He'll be downstairs waiting for you. Tell him where you live and he'll drop you directly. You can trust him, only with your address. Otherwise, don't be fooled by his eyes."
"Thank you sir." Chae-won bows her head with a pleased smile taking her leave. Once she's gone Jaehyun gets his phone out.
Jaehyun: Picture attached I promise that one of these nights we'll be together enjoying this view I love you
After sending the text message, his smile grows and he thinks about you. Seeing you for the first time in a long time, he was reminded of how nervous he was when looking at you. Your eyes were still so youthful and beautiful. From the moment he met you, he had always been attracted to your eyes. Your soul. The second he got the courage to speak to you and hear how you laughed, he knew that he'd work hard to get you to be his. Your beauty and soul was what he wanted. Your goddess looks graced his entire being and when you finally said yes to him, he was truly at his happiest in his entire life…you were all for him. He wanted nothing but the best for you.
And that's his motivation. Every day when waking up, he always remembers his promise, his promise to grace you with the world. Seeing you that day only filled him with worry that you’d leave him if he failed to accomplish or fulfill his promise. Which is why he worked hard?
He looks back to his work allowing the thoughts of you to linger on for a couple of minutes before working again. This was the last bet he would place on his company. If it sold well he would be a billionaire and would be able to spend and eternity with you every day. He double taps his laptop getting back to work.
Meanwhile Chae-won meets with Taeyong and he’s a gentleman with her. She speaks her address and he begins driving with low jazz in the background.
"Were you really waiting for him downstairs?" She asks capturing his attention.
Taeyong looks at her frame through the rearview mirror smiling. "This is his car. I'm stealing it."
"Please tell me you're joking," Chae-won's eyes worriedly looks at him.
Taeyong chuckles. "You really are at his feet. I was kidding. I wouldn't steal from the love of my life. I'm just borrowing his car for now. I was in the coffee shop doing some work when he called."
"Oh, so you're also an all-nighter,"
Taeyong smiles. "I don't have it as bad as your boss. He's the king in all night work."
"Mhm," She nods her head. "His goal is his wife. To spend more time with her."
"That's what he told you I bet. At least he's mentioned her." he smirks. "I still believe that he's scared. Have you seen his wife?"
"No," Chae-won shakes her head feeling worried for her boss. "Is she a bad person?"
"No, god no. No, never. How did I make it sound?"
Chae-won shrugs her shoulders. "You said he's scared."
"Not scared of her. Does he look like the type to be scared?" Taeyong poses. "She's a dime. Gorgeous is her middle name. She’s gorgeously sexy, is what I mean. A real eye catcher if you meet her. I remember the first time I met her, I wanted her so badly, but he had somehow already captured her heart. And believe me, he had nothing to impress her with. Nothing. He had nothing. When I say nothing, I'm talking dry even on a rainy season. No money, no parents, nothing fancy, nada. Not even a great sense in fashion. In fact, his past self could never even compare to who he is now. She encouraged him a lot to study and work hard and to go back to school, helped him with money and the icing on top of it, supported him. I still wonder what he wooed her with,"
"She sounds like a goddess, wow. Seems like a perfectly fit package," Chae-won nods her head. "I wanna meet her. I should get tips from her too. Is she kind?"
Taeyong nods his head. "Extremely. If you'd meet her today and got to know her you'd think she's two different people. Her outward appearance deceives who she really is. She's purely and whole heartedly warm, but looks like a temptress on the outside." Taeyong begins chuckling by himself. "I remember on their wedding day, Jaehyun kept shaking his head asking what he did to deserve her, and if he even deserved her."
Chae-won smiles hearing how her boss was timid and shy around his wife. "I'd like to see him like that,"
"Too bad. It's only reserved for her. No one else makes him happy like her," he bursts her bubble catching her eye in the mirror. "There's always that one person who has that effect."
She keeps her gaze locked on his sinful eyes, desiring him to keep looking at her. But she snaps herself out of those thoughts. Thinking about her boss's warning. It wouldn't hurt to have a one night stand with him, right? She'd never see him again after all.
After a couple of minutes driving through the quiet streets he finally stops the car according to where the GPS locates her medium fair house.
"I know it's really late but," She drags her words out slowly hoping he'd come in. "Would you like to come in for a little bit, cup of tea maybe," she opens her door looking back to him.
He wasn't watching her. "Thanks for the offer but I don't usually… Stay."
"I don't mind. Just for tonight," her words sincere.
Taeyong's eyes meet hers through the mirror before he turns around. "Don't you remember what your boss said about me?" He looks up and down her body biting his lip averting his eyes away from her when sensing that the atmosphere had somehow changed and she wasn’t talking about tea anymore. "He's not lying. Especially at night."
"You were so kind already, thought maybe you wouldn't escalate to that," Chae-won already leaves leaving Taeyong alone in his thoughts. "Thank you Taeyong, for the ride,"
Even if she wanted him. She had class and dignity in herself, as much as a one-night stand sounded really good, there would be a fall somewhere.
Tumblr media
After receiving that message from Jaehyun, you immediately switched off your phone cutting the video chat on Jaemin. Your whole heart beating with such excessive speed. You fix yourself, my lips trembling heavily and you can’t even understand why. One minute you were desperate and horny, the next your heart was melted and you left Jaemin high and dry. But your soul missed the night spent with Jaehyun.
Your soul mourns for him and the terrible things you did yet again to him. If he's cheating like Haera always assumes…then he wouldn't have sent that… right? Where’d this view even come from? You bite your lips trying hard to justify your act with the thought that Jaehyun is cheating on you. But even though you say it in your head, your heart knows that Jaehyun is loyal as a dog to his owner. Your thumb has a mind of its own when you press the call button, expecting that Haera was right. Unexpectedly your heart skips a beat when he picks up after the first ring. You blink and your eyes widen in surprise.
To your surprise… He’s in his office, instead of in some secretarial place Haera always assures him to be in.
"Hey honey,” Jaehyun smiles lightly when seeing you. “You're awake till now?"
When he asks that, all that’s going through your head is that you literally videoed yourself in your most vulnerable parts to another man. Your face gets hot when nothing leaves your mouth except a little gasp. Fuck Haera. Fuck her for filling your thoughts with such… Quickly catching the look of concern coming on Jaehyun’s face you clear your throat. You don’t want to disturb him, and also because you’re afraid he might notice something in your eyes like guilt, neither do you want to hang up because just through the screen alone, you somehow feel connected to him… and all the bad you did seconds ago washes away. His eyes a haven of peace. “I got your text,” You simply say, a smile growing on your lips. “The view is beautiful.”
He smiles and turns his phone to the side showing where the view came from. His office. After a while he turns the phone back to himself. “You should be sleeping right now,”
“I know,” You tilt your head looking into his eyes that are tired yet have a glint of determination, probably from work. “But I missed you,”
He looks down with a chuckle escaping his lips too. “I missed you too.”
“Will you be back soon?”
He hums and looks around at his desk. “I’ve got a little bit left to do,” Which is a lie, he had decks left. “Don’t worry about me, I’ll be back home sooner then you know,”
"Can I watch you work?" You ask laying down on the bed leaving your bedside lamp on while the room's light is off. "I won't make noise,"
He watches you lay down and you gently smile at him placing the phone against the lamp table and your bed so that it can still show your face. The smile that carves his face never leaves even when he does the same thing, placing his phone somewhere and looking back at you.
"You're supposed to be working," You speak softly falling for his eyes and how intensely their on you.
He chuckles. "You're supposed to be sleeping,"
"I'll sleep better watching you,"
And so it is. When his eyes leave yours to continue his work you slowly start to drift feeling his presence someway. Once in a while he'd turn his head to look at you and you’d prey your eyes open for him to see you throwing a small smile, which he’d return back. Until you could no longer keep your eyes open and laid still falling into a slumber.
You heard his voice, muffled away in the distance but it was still loud and clear. "Goodnight my love,"
The next morning when you wake up, your phone isn't by its usually spot so you turn around on the bed and of course it’s empty but instead there are two boxes on the bed and a card under the blanket.
You first pick up your phone to check the time but the wallpaper catches your attention first. It’s him and you, together. You’re sleeping and he’s got his lips pressed to your cheek looking into the camera. Butterflies erupt from your stomach seeing how handsome he looks being next to you. Instantly you smile opening up your phone going to gallery. Where you see a bunch of photos taken at night and a little video. You click on the video and it's so quick with him looking at your sleeping figure and turning back to the camera trying to take a picture but realizing it's a video instead before cutting it.
The boxes under the blanket are both wrapped in black milky way galaxy wrappers. You pick the note up reading it as a smile draws on your face.
I thought of spoiling you galaxy style
The bigger looking box is mine ♡
The other small medium sized box is from a special sponsor
Love you
Jaehyun
After reading the note, you chuckle a little deciding to save the best gift for last. Your fingers pick up the first medium sized box, pulling off the wrappers getting a look at the gift, your mouth immediately drops seeing the SAMSUNG GALAXY camera box and it's design is in a beautiful milky way form. There's a note from the company of SAMSUNG GALAXY.
To: Mrs Jung
Hey there! We've been tracking you down since your awesome blog posts flew rocket high in the media.
We'd like to sponsor you for your next content.
Here's a little gift from the SAMSUNG family
Be sure to reach out to us
Keep up the good work
~thank you~
If by now your jaw hadn't dropped, then it surely did now. The camera you already owned was the latest Polaroid and took really nice looking pictures but this time with the SAMSUNG camera you can absolutely die from realistic quality. Plus, the pay from being sponsored and being recognized from your blog! Being a part time housewife and freelancer photographer at home had it’s benefits of you working at home building a platform of pictures to post on your platforms.
You set it aside reaching for the next box which is not so small, but has Jaehyun’s strong scent on it. Of course it has his signature brand aroma, which is so appealing. It's basically like he said, bigger box. You tear off the wrapper mentally dying. "Oh my! Apple!"
You open up the box seeing various sizes of apple products. “He's so- oh my goodness. Jaehyun,” You moan.
You take out the little gift card that's simply signed by Jaehyun- that is your husband. You giggle taking out the different types of boxes going over them. The apple watch series x, the iPad pro and it's keyboard that attaches onto the iPad, then there's an apple pencil, a clear case for of course- the new iPhone max 18 pro- “I'm definitely dead now.” You laugh.
Tumblr media
"Have a good day at work," Taeyong retorts from the driver's seat and Chae-won nearly has a meltdown seeing Mark walking up the stairs of the building. Great. Now she was as late as he.
"Thanks Taeyong," She opens up the door but Taeyong's quick in holding onto her arm.
She turns back and meets his happy eyes. "Shall we do that again next time,"
Chae-won's cheeks heat up and she looks away with a little smile. "I thought you never stayed."
"You’re an exception," he mentions.
She lets out a breathless yet nervous laugh quickly getting out the car. "I'll think about it. But right now I'm really late. Jaehyun will kill me,"
"He'll maybe kill you after the meeting," Taeyong starts the engine of the car.
"Meeting? Shoot! Thank you for driving me," She rushes out the car jogging up the stairs in her mini hills as she dashes towards the elevator that's held open by Mark.
"Hey latecomer," he grins. "Fancy seeing you here at this time. Late alarm?"
"Something like that," she sighs. "He's gonna kill me,"
"That's a tough position to imagine yourself in." Mark remarks. "I like the new fragrance you have on,"
"What?"
"The scent of a boss." Mark dramatically poses making her laugh.
The elevator ride is long but lucky Mark works at 30th floor, while she had to go up all the way to the 40th floor. She prepares herself mentally ready for Jaehyun’s cruel words for today, she was hoping that he'd never have to be on a bad foot with her again, but yet here she is again.
The elevator door opens wide and before she can exit, Jaehyun enters, stone cold as always not even paying mind and pressing the door to a close. "You're already late might as well head to the meeting."
Aside from his low tone, his anger is also evident.
"I'm so sorry sir. It'll never happen again." She apologizes handing him his coffee that she always brings when he arrives.
"Mhm." He answers not believing her but takes the coffee anyway. His nose picks up on a smell, a smell that shouldn't be with any of them now. He then turns to her with a confused burning look.
"Sir?" Chae-won quickly gets out her notepad ready to write down whatever it is he wanted to say.
"You smell like Taeyong."
Her cheeks redden and she looks away avoiding his eyes. Meanwhile it only takes Jaehyun a second to figure out that Taeyong had something to do with her being late. He shakes his head getting off the elevator when it reaches the floor they were going to.
He's greeted by many of his colleagues as they respectfully bow just as others greet him. Jaehyun as usual passes little to no greetings at all, but this time the greetings that he does pass are cold and threatening. Either way, his main priority is getting in the board meeting room. He passes his phone and planner towards Chae-won as she takes her usual seat by the corner (with her set up of a little desk) of the vast board meeting room that rapidly gets full as soon as Jaehyun arrives.
"I would say good morning but there's nothing good about this morning." He spits out bitterly, addressing everyone. "I bring forth two types of news, bad and worse."
Shoulders in the room slowly begin to slump and upright sitters shrink in their seats feeling a heavy silence penetrating through the air. Chae-won just as everyone else in the room knew what this meant, that their dear superior was not going to be a 'happy' soul for the next coming weeks.
Chae-won glances down at Jaehyun's phone that brightens up as he's talking. The caller ID named the person calling: ♡ Darling. This must be his wife, Chae-won quickly sends a quick system personalized message explaining he's in a meeting. Moments later a text message comes in and it makes Chae-won smile in response.
Darling: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! I cannot express how thrilled I am over a message but I really really am! Thank you so much. I feel like a child on Christmas, but maybe 10 times more than the average kid. I absolutely love both the gifts, I love yours more. Thank you for always spoiling me I hope your meeting goes well, if not then you know you can call me (if you want and if it's not going to take up your time) I love you
She closes his phone feeling all the weight of his phone. At times having access to his phone and other personal stuff as his planner or glasses was something really scary for her. One wrong move and her life would be toasted.
She opens up his planner to today's meeting beginning to tick off all the things he's spoken about. She reads onto the other things he's going to say and her heart drops. The company lost a sum of 1- 15 million! Oh crap, this would definitely be news to everyone's ears.
"I could fire your entire department!" He bursts to the salesmen from the 13th floor capturing all their attention. Jaehyun never yelled or forced his voice out but today was different, the boss is boldly enraged that fire burn through his eyes. He was sending everyone to hell with his eyes. "How could you all be sleeping on our prized investor! 10 million gone like that. You said you had it covered. That I should leave it in your hands. You gave me your word Johnny. I believed in you. What went wrong?"
She crosses off the tragedy of the loss listening on as the news gets from bad to worse- what could be worse than losing millions, say maybe a burnt fragrance factory in one of the region's largest area's- that was in the hands of a careless manager, another set of millions off the company's hands as well as messy publicity. All this in just the little spans of the early mornings.
"If I need to do it all by myself, I will and I can. I started by myself and managed, I can finish it all by myself." Jaehyun warns with daring eyes. "And believe you me, I will fire everyone, starting with all you managers. Do your jobs or else you'll push me to measures that I'll be more than happy to take."
Silence.
"Is that all or is there more?" He addresses out and Chae-won knows he's talking to her.
She immediately stands up reading his planner, being slightly confused. "The name Na Jaemin is on the list, sir."
He lets out a sigh closing his eyes. When he opens them his eyes narrow to one of the managers, the youngest manger in the whole room. "Jungwoo. Your time and reign as manager of infrastructure ends today. I am demoting you-"
"S-sir-" the youngest interrupts already gaining a strong glare from the boss.
"If you can't even do the simplest of things as underlying the base or foundation of this company what makes you think you'll move up the ranks a-"
"I can- I can work hard. I promise-"
"Cut me off again." Jaehyun dares. "Do that and see what happens."
Jungwoo shamefully sits down maintaining the rest of his pride.
"You're being replaced by Na Jaemin. All your questions, suggestions and feedback to this meeting please see to it that you book an appointment with my assistant within an hour from now. Meeting adjourned."
Jaehyun is the first to leave the room leaving glum, lamented and distressed faces. Chae-won gets up from her seat heading to the front of the long table whereby his seat is- he hardly even sat down for this meeting- taking his coffee and rapidly following him and his quick pace still with her laptop bag, his planner journal, glasses, phone and coffee. She makes it just on time in the elevator with him and he lifts the weight off her hands taking his planner and glasses moving along other pages of his notes.
"I don't like the coffee. It's cold." He responds when she tries to give it to him.
"Sorry sir." She keeps the coffee. "You said I should remind you to speak to Mr Kun." And she gestures to his phone. "Sir you also had a call."
He looks at his phone in her hands before focusing back on his planner. "I have more pressing matters to attend to."
She wants to pip in that it's his wife, instead of the Dean of affairs, but the silence is provoking. She builds up enough courage to face him but at the same time not scream. "Sir it's your wi-"
The way his head turns sharply to her cause her lips to seal shut. "I fired a manager just now. Don't let that be your fate too."
"Yes sir." She gulps drawing the phone back to her comforts.
Tumblr media
You sit by the lounge area with your new iPad pro and keyboard after seeing it to your laptop and working on a duel screen, working on your blog space feedback section and editing a current picture on the other side. At the same time, your phone sits comfortably on its little plush pillow as you wait for a reply from Jaehyun.
He doesn't reply during work hours but considering the fact that he made your morning you’re sure he'll at least check on you. But patience, patience is the key and if you sit here really patient then the universe can give you what you want. Which is your husband's attention. Even if 4 hours have already passed, you still wait.
Your clients/reviewers really have been liking the new dark aesthetic concept, but a lot of them want something more, something darker, something more sinister and tacky. The only thoughts you can reverse to is on Jaemin… Your life can’t get more dark then Jaemin being in it. He is sin. He is poison. The dirty sin you try to wipe away but can't stop thinking about.
And it's not like you think about him in a loving way, it's just he's the only one giving your needy legs what you need. Is this what adultery feels like?
Your phone vibrates and immediately you pick it up knowing it's from Jaehyun. Your smile slowly fades from your lips leaving nothing by the air around to be dry, wet and sweaty.
Long, thick and throbbing, sharp with veins and promising as if inviting you to a big and very wild and extremely night. Why would Jaehyun send this very not so like him picture of his dick? You quickly avert your eyes to the contact name, a short breath leaving your lips. It's Jaemin's.
Haera's husband: That's how hard I was last night after your very short yet sexy performance I thought of sending it late at night, but I'm well aware you have a husband He wouldn't like what he saw He would've been jealous ;p
You chuckle a little closing your legs tight trying not to peak at the photo.
Haera's husband: Can I call? Video call?
Me: Yes
Immediately when the message is received, his name pops up on the screen and you answer it. If only Jaehyun could respond fast like that. Jaemin is in some sort of cafe and sipping on his mug, that probably has beverage.
"Hey sexy,"
Your cheeks heat up in embarrassment and you avoid his eyes. You’ve just shown this man your entire self- THREE TIMES! And one of them was through the phone, he's seen it all and he's not even your husband- yet for some odd reason, both your woman hood and nipples perk up by his smile. "Hi." You pip out.
"What're you shy about?" He chuckles. "You weren’t so shy last night showing me your all. Are you going to show me again?"
You shake your head rolling your eyes- this feels very dangerous chatting with him but you like the tingles of excitement peeking up in you. “Why are you so happy?”
“Come on,” Jaemin pouts playfully. “I’ll tell you if you show me something- actually forget that, I just got promoted to management!” Jaemin with so much thrill expresses.
“Management you said,” You chuckle snapping your fingers as an applaud. "Good for you, congratulations,” You smile genuinely. “Is that something you’ve always wanted to achieve?”
Jaemin is stunned by the question and retreats back in his seat with a little smile. “Well… I mean, it’s not what I’ve wanted, but it’s something Haera’s high list of priorities wants from me. So I guess yes, this is something I’ve wanted to achieve for a really long time,”
Somehow that makes you frown, yet you maintain a smile on your face. “Haera’s high list of priorities,”
Jaemin chuckles. “You know, make her live the same way she used to live when she was married to that wealthy Donghyuck. Big houses in every part of the world, many cars from all over the world, world-wide recognition, a high list profile of getting invited to diners and gatherings all over the world, going on vacations every single weekend, more love whatever that means and good sex. So far, the only thing I’ve got going on in that list is good sex.” Jaemin mummers, and you can literally see the smile struggling to stay on his lips. He snaps out of it immediately, the smile drawing back on his face. “If I can make her happy like he did, then I’m sure I won’t be just another guy she can replace,”
“Regardless of what she thinks,” You start and flash him your most pure hearted smiles, making sure to look into the lenses of the camera to let him know that you’re focused on him. “I’m proud of you. Your efforts got you promoted. I’m sure you’ve worked hard in your day job. I can see how thrilled you are, so I know that despite doing this for Haera, you’re also proud of your achievement. So congratulations Jaemin, I am happy for you. But hey, I thought you were the owner of that very exquisite bar down town,"
He smirks. "I thought I was gonna get a treat right there,”
"There you go again, not answering me. You’re such a hard worker, day job and owning your very own night club? That’s boss right there,” You let out a light laugh, making him feel warm. “Unless, you aren’t really the entrepreneur of that fantastic steamy night club,”
"I am the owner of Faded Fantasies. My true passion resides in business though, so even though I’m a bartender by night, by day I’m focused and fixed under pressure. I’d like to grow Faded Fantasies, into something big you know," Jaemin smiles, surprised that he’s just shared that with you. “It sounds unreachable but I can only dream so far you know,”
“You wanna make millions?” You’re charmed, by how shy yet bold he’s trying to appear. What you see, is a young man trying to reach for his dreams.
Jaemin flashes a smirk and nods his head. “Corny right,”
“No, it’s not corny.” You instantly say shaking your head and appearing with another smile. “That’s a dream that you believe in. And your drive shouldn’t wither at all, look at this great milestone you’ve just achieved. This is a starting step for you, you’re learning and applying your skills into your night job. You’re doing a great job, and I believe in you,” You throw in your supportive fist.
“You believing in me, makes me feel really good,” Jaemin nods his head feeling more courageous. "The more money, the more I can afford. The more I can attract you,"
"I'm not attracted by money, I've got all the money I need," You find yourself bragging, flaunting your husband's money.
"Right," he smiles. "I know what attracts you. Good hip game,"
"My husband's got that too,"
"Oh really?" He raises his brow. "So what's missing?"
You bite your lip. "His presence."
"Oh so that’s why I'm here. To shower your pretty little pussy with so much attention." His gaze gets steamy. "What do you say about that?" His voice gets husky, just as his smirk intensifies. “Show me something,”
“I’m only doing this as motivation. This is a gift for you,” You gulp biting your fingernail before your hand slowly trails down your chest in between your cleavage gently sliding your finger past your milky skin. You slowly open up the first button of your blouse and the second button… and the third…your other hand making sure that the camera is only on your chest area exposing your bra. You watch his needy eyes grow with lust, loving the effect you’re having on him you undo your entire shirt opening it up him to see.
"That's some high quality fine-"
You rapidly cover your chest with your shirt just as Jaemin slams his phone on the table giving you nothing but a black view.
"I think you forgot that you're in public," A man he's with comments. "Was that Haera?"
"Uhhh. Mhm." Jaemin stutters a little. "That was her."
"Well then." The man speaks up and it seems like he's trying to take the phone but Jaemin reacts and holds it tighter to his chest, since all you see is his white blouse. It must be their lunch break. "I also want to see how gorgeous her racks are. Is that a picture? You said she did a little flash for the crowd in the bar last night?"
"Don't you even go their Mark. She ruined my whole mood last night. Thankfully, I had another distraction," Jaemin groans while talking to the man called Mark. You can remember him from the last time you were out with Haera. He's the man who offered you guys lunch. "Where's Chae-won?"
"In hell. She's afraid to leave the office in case she might get fired. Her words. Did you hear what happened? The huge loss? Oh wait, heard you just got promoted, congrats man. There pressures on you now,"
“Tell me about it,” Jaemin positions the phone to just his face. "Let me kiss your boobs goodbye,"
"Don't you dare kiss your phone," Mark warns.
“Why can’t I kiss my promotion gift goodbye?” You try not to chuckle aloud but place the phone to your breast and he smiles and kisses them and whispers a quiet ‘bye’ cutting the call.
You quickly smile after cutting the call but your smile freezes for a second seeing there's another video call from… ♡ Baby Jae ♡
You finger hesitates as your eyes wonder around when realization dawns that you were enjoying your time with Jaemin. From one sin to the next. You gulp nervously and answer the call seeing him with his eyes closed and him rubbing his head as if in stress. "Hey,” Your voice comes out soft. “You look stressed? Did the meeting not go well?"
"Hmmm." His eyes open and he looks so tired and frustrated but keeps his cool when his eyes meet your. "Did I call at a bad time? You're…" His irked expression turns to one of being flushed as he chokes a little on his words gesturing to his shirt.
You quickly look down remembering that you were supposed to close your blouse. You rush to closing it up your cheeks flushing red- what the hell were you thinking when opening these for Jaemin? You look back into the phone screen seeing his amused smile. "Sorry about that, uh. Some water fell and I quickly changed but then you called. I'm decent again…" You smile feeling guilty but it quickly turns genuine when you’ve managed to bring him a quick smile from his tight face…even if it's a lie. "But I bet me buttoning up my shirt was just the distraction you needed,"
"The best one yet," he nods his head his lip tugging to a little smirk. "Especially when you held onto the phone and buttoned your shirt up. For some reason everything was so much clearer and… bigger,"
"Like it was in your face," I add with a proud smile. "That is the power of a high quality phone,"
"You're already using your gift?"
You switch the camera's showing him your little working area with the galaxy camera and iPad and apple pencil. "You mean gifts, plural. I absolutely love them all so much. I wish I could just give you a big kiss to thank you so much. I'm feeling merry,"
"Brings me joy when I see you happy," he says with a hypnotic smile. "Always,"
You frown pouting your cheeks. "That means your day has been crappy,"
"It's not crappy right now talking with you," he gleefully adds.
You grin feeling flattered. "Then I'll need to do something about your mood for when you're not going to be talking with me. What can I do?” You hum and tap your chin looking side ways. “How about, one act of kindness an hour. You'll need to do something kind every hour, to your employees. I know it’ll be hard, but you'll feel some tension leaving you,"
He shakes his head. "I can't even stand to see them right now.” He groans shutting his eyes rubbing his hand down is face revealing a dreaded and hurt angry face. “In total, the company lost 14 million. This morning, all that money was deposited out of the account, it’s why I couldn’t spend any time with you."
Your eyes widen seeing his scowl returning back as he stares into the distance. "That's a lot of money." You whisper out.
"Not only that," his keen eyes tenderly look back to you. "Now it means that I'll have to start all over again, gaining the trust of the public, entailing that our current investors aren’t thinking of pulling out, making sure that the board of dean aren’t having second thoughts about me. Idiotic employees just had to mess everything up." He clicks his tongue shaking his head. "It probably also means I'll have to spend a lot of time away from you. This was supposed to be the month that I finalized so many closing deals, the month whereby I’d appoint a second level management to take my place as I go on leave, so that I'd have time to spend with you. Damn these workers. I even had to fire 2 staff today and demote a manager. I’m sorry babe. I promise I had everything under control, it just…” He grunts and shuts his eyes. “It all slipped through my fingers, I’m sorry,"
"Oh sweety," You sympathize, your heart feeling bad that you have to see him look so disappointed in himself, as if it’s all his fault. Your heart even aches when he apologizes to you. "You probably feel disappointed in yourself. And that a lot of days and time has been flushed down the drain,”
He nods his head.
“But it’s not your fault baby,” You assure him gently. “You're not in a good head space if you keep all that boiling in you," You smile tenderly seeing him sigh leaning his head back as he sets his phone against something so that it’s left in a standing position. "Baby look at me,"
He does so giving you his full attention still rubbing his hair. “I had a whole vacation planned out as a surprise for you. I even bought tickets in advance. Fuck,”
“Hey,” You hum out and tilt your head. Seeing him like this only reminds you of how much you’d hate seeing him look so disappointed in himself. It didn’t show on the outside, but inside he was pushing himself hard to the edge and convincing himself how much of a failure he was. And you didn’t like when his brain would take over. “Baby,”
He shakes his head and sighs leaning away from the screen, before looking to the screen with a hint of sadness and disappointment. “I hate them all right now. I could just…”
"Your handsome face isn't built for hating anyone. I know you wanna send all of them to hell for ruining your plans, but that's not possible-"
"I've got connections to hell," he thinks for a second. Causing you to let out a laugh making him smile.
"Funny but those connections won't be needed. What you need is to stay positively focused." You urge him biting your lip gripping his attention to your lips. "Remind yourself why you've held onto all this for so long. Shit happens,” You sigh. “That’s planet Earth for you. But spitting on the ground won't do any good. You need to be well with your employees. Motivate them to work, not scare them into rush work. They’ll be forced to work faster and initially produce work that’s not sufficient. Quality over quantity, remember that."
He nods his head leaning his head back before looking back at the phone.
"You're so tough, you need to be like me," You smile. "Soft,"
"You're so gentle and pure," he picks up the phone kissing it when you bring your lips close to the screen. You laugh. "If I was soft, the company would crumble and all the employees would plot against me,"
"That’s all in your head, kiss me again," You place your lips to the screen again just as he joins in.
Jaehyun was pretty ballsy and pissed for the remaining of the morning, completely frightening Chae-won. He told her that for the rest of the day she shouldn't even try to reach out to him through the intercom otherwise he'd fire her. He was in the firing spirit.
So right now as she stands outside his office door, she contemplates about her whole life and if she's got enough money just in case he fires her. Since she wasn't allowed to call him through the intercom, that would mean she would just need to enter his office with all her balls. She wouldn't be interrupting anything, he's been working since he got off the meeting.
She takes in a sharp breath pushing the door open freezing in spot when the sight she beholds is scandalous. He kisses the screen of his phone.
His eyes in an instant are cold and Chae-won gulps, hearing the giggling in the phone stopping.
"Baby? What happened, you’re looking deadly again?” The voice speaks over the phone. “Remember what I said? One act of kindness an hour."
A feminine voice alerts him. He takes in a deep breath looking down lowering his phone.
"C'mon baby you can do this."
The lady speaks over the phone. Chae-won knots the pieces together from him kissing the phone to the charming giggles, the woman calling him baby and the way his eyes were soft before being interrupted. That's his wife. It must be. The one that Taeyong mentioned, the only one he reserves his smiles and joys for.
Chae-won shrinks quickly walking forward placing the large amount of files on his table realising she did interrupt and now she might as well pack her things.
"Wait." Jaehyun lowly speaks making Chae-won stop in her tracks. "What are these?"
She turns around. "The files from SM, sir. The senior manager Doyoung offered to assist,"
"Baby you're scaring her with that look. One act of kindness, please do it for me."
The lady, his wife pleads over the phone. Jaehyun's look indeed looked like he would murder Chae-won just for barging into his office yet again. This assistant was really looking to getting fired. But with his wife watching him and himself wanting to let some stress go, he sighs and runs his hand through his black hair.
"Why didn't you go for your lunch break?" He asks a bit serious.
"Uh… I wanted to work." She nods her head.
He looks back to the phone screen seeing you with an encouraging smile urging him to go on.
"You should take a break.”
“No sir it’s oka-”
“I'm not firing you." He says in a hard manner that soon turns soft. "I insist. How will you work on an empty stomach?”
“I can just take a 5 minute break and I’ll get back to work.”
“You can take 2 hours off, hell even the whole year if you like-"
"Baby,"
"It's just a joke."
"That's not a joke, that's a violation of jokes. No one laughed," the lady says making him laugh for a second revealing a clear smile and dimples- which is shocking to Chae-won. Her boss just laughed and he looks even better and worthy of such a godlike face.
But when he looks back to Chae-won his smile is gone. "My bad. That was a terrible attempt at a joke. You can take two hours off. When you come I'll need you to set up a meeting for all managers again."
Chae-won's eyes widen by his request. He allowed her to go for a lunch break, for 2 hours. Aside from the other thing he said, all that mattered now was the lunch break. "Yes sir. Thank you sir."
Jaehyun looks back to the phone seeing you brightly grinning. "See that wasn't so hard,"
"It actually was." He sighs but frowns sensing his assistant's presence still in his office. He looks up. "Go."
"Oh yes sir. I'll go now. Thank you,"
He shakes his head focusing back on his wife but his eyes are blessed by the sight of her opened up blouse and her lace bra again. "Kindness pays off, doesn't it?"
He sneakily moans. "Don't tease me. I'm still at work,"
"Hmm," she purrs. "That means I'll have to taunt you with pictures every hour that you do something good, aka make an employee happy."
"What if I make them all happy at the same time?"
"Oh over achiever," She giggles. "That's my lion."
"Roar,"
Tumblr media
2 hours later:
Chae-won reads the one point on Jaehyun's planner being confused. Would he really? That one act kindness his wife was talking about really got to him, this a frightening act of kindness.
He stands by the head of the table just like this morning but his face and mood seems a little more carefree. Highly unusual.
"I realized that this morning made majority of you fearful of what was to come next. With the new arrival of Na Jaemin, I've heard the concerns that most of you voiced out saying how you're afraid that you might be next,"
Jaehyun indirectly introduces Jaemin to the foreign tables of people once known as his uppermen. He went from being a simple flowers delivery guy, to being an office desk worker taking down the data of each and every import and export of flowers turning to perfume, to being part of HR and hiring and training new interns, to being a supervisor and making sure that everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, to being a manager of his entire flowering department. Haera would definitely be proud to show him off as her husband now. He surely felt the new position come with such an intense amount of pressure, especially since the boss was in a bitch mood.
"I… apologize." The words leave Jaehyun’s lips.
All eyes snap towards their boss who had his eyes firmly on all the members. Nobody understood his mood and why he apologized. Out of the blue and all of a sudden. He never ever did that.
"I apologize for installing fear inside of you, I apologize for making you all fearful. Which is why, I know this decision will cost us a lot of time, but it's for the good of our health." His monotone makes it even harder for anyone to believe his words. "I want for the whole of tomorrow for everyone to take a day off."
Chae-won and all the other managers all have similar expressions- jaws tight with fear and even eyes widen. Had someone kidnapped their boss? Who was this robot spirited man?
"I want this day off for us all to mediate on the reason we want to be here. The reason we all want to work here. The loss is just another setback, a huge drawback for me, but this company is dear to me. I can manage losing clients but not manage losing the people who've helped and poured out their blood, sweat and time for the success of this company." Jaehyun wholeheartedly says, even if it comes off a bit stiff, yet it humbly gains some hearts to ponder and feel less fearful. "Forgive me for my actions this morning.” He bows his head, causing the other heads to instantly bow as well. “Meeting adjourned."
Just like the morning, he's the first to leave but this time instead of tainted black souls, everybody is strangely anxious and fidgety, however a sense of a stronger work ethic resides amongst them.
Getting in the elevator with Jaehyun, Chae-won can't help the words that slip out her mouth.
"Your wife is a miracle worker sir,"
Surprisingly he replies and presses their floor button. "I didn't really think I'd feel lighter but I do,"
Instead of the door closing, they both look ahead when a hand interrupts their ride. Jaemin enters, with wild hot eyes. “Mr Jung. I wanted to personally thank you for the promotion you’ve given me.”
Normally, Jaehyun would stare and give his best uninterested face. However, with your words playing in the back of his head about a reward, he finds himself tightly smiling. He hated promotion time, because it would mean a new face and a whole bunch of paperwork going backwards. However Jaemin has proven himself to be a diligent worker, even getting recognition from Jaehyun himself. “Don’t screw up.”
“You can bet on me that-”
“The last time I bet on someone, they got a whole firm burnt down.” Jaehyun makes reference to the disaster that happened earlier. “Hence my words, don’t screw up.”
“I won’t.” Jaemin ends up smiling, boldly holding his hand out. Chae-won shakes her head, knowing that Jaehyun doesn’t shake hands, however when seeing her boss’s hand stretch out to collide into Jaemin’s grasp all she can think about is how amazing this wife must be.
As soon as the elevator door closes with Jaemin bowing as both Jaehyun and his secretary leave, Jaemin lets out a breath of enthusiasm. Being promoted into an upper position surely requires for there to be a celebration. Jaemin digs into his pockets and brings out his phone as the elevator goes down past the other floors. Jaemin places the phone to his ear and clears his throat. “Hey darl-”
“Hey sweetheart,” Haera rapidly answers sounding extremely happy. “So, what’s this exciting news you say you have?”
Jaemin’s grin grows brighter by her enthusiasm. “I got promoted to management.” Jaemin exhales feeling thrilled and anticipating her reaction. Yet, when a full minute passes and Jaemin notices that two floors have passed, he takes a peak at his phone thinking it’s switched off. “Babe you there?”
“Yeah.” Her voice is an octave low and not that excited as before. “Uhm. You got promoted to management? That was the exciting news?”
“Uh,” Jaemin’s whole facial feature drops and he clinches his jaw, sticking his tongue against his cheek in disappointment. “It’s higher pay you know. Did you see the flowers I sent you?”
Nothing comes from her end until the elevator door opens up. However instead of leaving, Jaemin stays inside biting his lip waiting for her response. Which doesn’t come, not even a breath.
“Haera?”
“Jaemin another guy can get me roses, it means nothing.”
Jaemin is stunned for a minute, waiting for her to say something else. But she doesn’t. “It means nothing?”
“I was with you through whatever, but you know we need to elevate, right?” She starts in serious dissatisfaction. “We’ve been together for a year now and all you’ve got to show for the years we’ve been together is that stupid low budget club. You know I’ve got other men ready to commit to all my needs? They want you out the picture, they want me. Yet I’m here with you. I’m even wondering why. Your big news was seriously promotion?”
“But isn’t that what you wanted?” Jaemin finds himself asking rubbing his temple, his smile lost now and his promotion feels like nothing to get excited over. “You said to get-”
“Should I put you on notice?” She snaps. “I’m tired of dropping hints. What you can’t do, someone else can. While you’re out here playing, they’re not playing don’t you see? Other men are out there, working their butts off, yet you’re out here sleeping. For hell’s sake, even Y/n’s husband is out here sending her on trips by herself to the most luxurious places all over the world, designer shows, meeting all the greats, sending her thousands of roses, with cards saying how much he loves her, sending random gifts worth millions, even if he’s not present, he spoils the fuck out of her ungrateful ass. Shit, and all she wants is him around and nothing else. Seriously? Jaemin, compared to him, what the fuck have you been doing? Nothing. Since we’ve been together, you couldn’t even afford to take me overseas, always bringing me to your crusty nightclub. Ugh.”
Getting so upset, Jaemin isn’t surprised when the call gets dropped.
With his shoulders slumped and his head wondering in defeat, Jaemin moves onto his (old) company seventh floor passing by his old co-workers, who still congratulate him. He moves to where he sees his former manager Jungwoo setting up where his work station is…or rather would no longer be. Jungwoo unpacking doesn’t fail, as usual, to give him a polite smile and bitterly yet sweetly congratulates him on his new position. “Seems like you’ll now call the shots. I know you’ll do a good job.”
Jaemin can’t even be happy or enjoy the moment of seeing his former manager wish him luck, instead he nods his head. “Thanks,”
Jungwoo noticing the beat mood, acts out like he normally would when he was still a manager and would notice one of his team members weren’t well spirited. “Why don’t you get a head start into this little break? I’ll set up your office.” Jungwoo says patting Jaemin’s back. “You’re probably feeling pressure, yeah? Have a head start,”
Jaemin nods his head bowing his head somberly. “Thanks sir,”
Kissing Haera, is easy. Making love to her, is easy. Jaemin really thought that going into the marriage with Haera would be easy, because she asked for nothing more but love, touches and kisses and by chance if he could make her happier than her ex. Compared to her ex, Haera used to say that Jaemin had a much better physical attraction with striking features, so obviously Donghyuck would be jealous. At first, with his good sexual drive and passion for hot steamy sex, Jaemin thought it was all in the bag that as he had a girl who ‘loved’ him, then he could conquer anything.
It slowly started changing when Haera would make cheap comparisons of everything Jaemin did wrong, and why she couldn’t be quote on quote seen with a failure like him.
That pushed Jaemin to work harder.
Jaemin was happy when he bought his first house. He no longer would rent out, but would be a landowner. Haera wasn’t impressed, because the house was small and that her friends would laugh at her.
Jaemin made an effort to work harder and get more money to buy a new house, yet still working and building a profile with good ethics. Of course at times, he’d need to cheat his way through, but otherwise Jaemin worked hard in everything he did. But Haera wasn’t impressed with his position of the time.
Jaemin, with some money saved decided that operating a small business in his neighborhood would do good to his bank. So he bought out land and set up a whole construction site. Even though so much money had gone into planning and building his night club, he was highly pleased with the results. Yet Haera was not impressed, in fact she was at her boiling point and peak of anger- she had no more patience and used his club as a way to spite and mock him for quote on quote wasting his time and money in such a useless plot of land.
And now, here he is, on such a day that felt like it’d never come. It’s finally come, but he can’t even be happy for himself. After packing his work bag and sitting in the Uber ride for more than 30 minutes to get home, he sighs when seeing Haera’s car in the driveway. There’s no way he’d hear the end of how much of a disappointment he is if he enters now. So deciding against entering, he turns his footing deciding that the club would be better than home.
“Jaemin?”
Jaemin is stiff in hearing your voice. He turns around making sure he’s not hearing things. And truly, seeing you brings a smile on his face- it’s a confused smile, but none the less it’s there. He doesn’t move, instead watches you in your black pants and white blouse walk up to where he is. You’re cautious, and look a bit hesitant, yet you walk down the driveway and reach him. Jaemin’s eyes go from your face to the ground.
“You’re not going in?” You ask when you’re right beside him, noticing that he was walking away.
Jaemin tilts his head to the side, not looking at you again. Seeing his tired expression, his eyes avoiding eye contact with you and his body language not oozing out the cheating confidence he has, makes you feel glum. He was so excited hours ago, when telling you about his promotion. What happened? It’s even alarming, when he doesn’t reply and his attention is on his foot.
You clear your throat. “I actually came by to drop a little gift for your promotion,”
“Gift?” Jaemin tiredly rolls his eyes a forced smile on his face. “Thanks.”
You fold your arms and turn back to the house. Haera’s inside being bitchy as usual, and Jaemin is unusually upset. You don’t know him well, but this mood isn’t something you like seeing on anybody’s face. “Is there anything I can do to cheer you up?” Jaemin’s ears perk by your question, and his eyes move to your concerned ones. You can tell he’s unhappy, and by his reluctant movement to get in the house, you know he doesn’t want to enter the house. “I was actually going to head home, but seeing as I’ve met you here why not…” You shrug your shoulders, your eyes a bit suggestive. “Cheer you up,”
“You wanna cheer me up?” That makes Jaemin genuinely smirk. “How?” His eyes go over your body once and that gets you feeling heat run up your smile.
You don’t even know why you suggested it, but you go along with his flow. “Anything you want,”
He chortles. “Now that’s tempting,”
You smile tilting your head to the side. “How tempting do you want me to be?”
He chuckles this time.
Meanwhile, from the blinds over the windows, Haera has her eyes on you and her husband. You stormed out, when she mentioned how you were pathetic for loving Jaehyun, she expected you to go, but now seeing you on the sidewalk smiling with her husband makes her uptight. It’s even worse, when the longer you stand close to Jaemin, Jaemin steps closer to you before standing beside you. No sooner than later, a white car pulls up. You both enter the backseat and that has Haera in heaps of anger. “What the hell?”
Momentarily, once the Uber pulls up you can’t control the heat Jaemin is in when once the door shuts. He throws his bag over, his lips going straight for your neck, peppering dozens of flattering kisses against your neck.
The driver sighs turning up the music playing on the radio. Here comes another broad day couple that makes out on odd days such as Wednesday.
Jaemin scatters kisses down your neck, just as he corners you on the side of the seat. Without complain, and also in need, cling his body closer. You make out like two animals in heat, a complete mess and quick, yet slow. Your lipstick’s getting smudged whilst the buttons of his white shirt are being unbuttoned by you, just as he runs his hands down your tight shirt also unfastening your shirt. “Don’t rip it.” You warn with a smile leaving your lips, as he licks the bottom of your lip. His hands on your body has you feeling frizzy, or maybe it’s the music blasting through the radios, Sunmi’s Tail, which much to the driver’s distaste sets the mood for you and Jaemin. Your shirt is nearly off hanging by your shoulders as Jaemin ends up cupping and feeling the trace of your breasts through the red bra.
“You changed it,” He’s eyes glisten with excitement.
“You like it?” You ask as you follow his movement by leaning your hips up to unbutton your jeans, with Jaemins unfastening his belt and unzipping his pants.
“Don’t mess the seats.” The driver makes an intrusion, snapping your attention for a second on him before you focus back on Jaemin, who circles your wrist and gently guides your body on top of him. “If you mess, you’ll pay extra.”
Jaemin’s attention is not on the driver, instead it’s on his finger which traces patterns on the lace of your thong that’s peeing. He holds onto your waist, changing positions again as his fingers find your clit. “You’ve got a clit kink don’t you,” Jaemin helps to remove your pants, as his hand rubs your clit through the fabric of your thong, drawing out a moan from your lips. Unlike your shirt which he cautiously didn’t rip, he’s quick when yanking on your thong strap and snapping it off surprising you- yet it automatically makes you spread your legs giving him access to your wet clit.
“I just have a thing for wet pussies, because I know my baby likes it rough,” He leans his head against your shoulder as his fingers begin to work their magic by squirting quickly into you. “Just look how wet you are for me?" He says as he rubs your clitoris fast, before going gently, his mouth taking in yours engulfing your moans.
He inserts two fingers into you, causing you to gasp against his lips creating an opening for his tongue. He works his fingers at a steady pace, before rapidly moving his fingers backwards and forwards, his fingers curling inside of you as you let out muffled moans. He continues to thrust his digits into you causing your stomach to bunch up in a knot, you felt the knot loosen as he continued to finger you, and you were about to come undone on his fingers when he pulled them out of you, all possible signs of an orgasm flying out the window. You break the kiss, whining in annoyance. “Jae~ Why would you do that?" You question as you look at him, your annoyance turning to a smirk as he peers into your needy getting his pants lower.
"Fuck, I want you right now,"
You go in for another kiss whilst placing a hand on his growing bulge, massaging his dick through his pants you hear him groan. You become dominate and climb onto his lap, grinding against his bulge causing both of you to moan. You hike up your shirt that’s loosely hanging around your waist with two unbuttons undone, revealing your bare clit that's dripping with arousal. You fumble with his boxers in the way, eager to have him inside you.
"Look at you, so eager for me." He teases as his hands caress your ass, squeezing the skin. “Have I ever told you, you’ve got thee most superb ass?”
“Once.” You state with a sinister smile once you palm his dick before taking it out and putting it at your entrance, teasing yourself with just his tip, throwing your head backwards (ignoring the driver who complains that your hair got in his way) before sinking down on his length, feeling your insides adjust to his size. “Jaemin, why do you get bigger every time?” You breathe out, feeling your walls expand to accommodate his size.
“I’m not getting bigger, your tight little pussy just loves to close up on my dick, and on top of that, I know you like it rough,” One of the many things you loved about having sex with Jaehyun was how full he made you feel, while he had a large dick that fitted you just right, you love how big Jaemin’s dick stretches your walls out. You try to get Jaehyun out your head as your pussy grips Jaemin like a vice, causing him to hump in heat. You begin to move up and down his dick, feeling his large hand slap your ass cheek whilst the other holds firmly on your waist, his tongue pinching and rolling against your whole boob. You let out a loud moan, feeling waves of pleasure crash together inside you and around your whole body.
"Look at my baby riding, me so well." He praises, making you move up and down his length faster. You clench around him, letting out a guttural moan, closing your eyes enjoying the feeling of bouncing on his cock. He thrusts his hips upwards, matching your pace. “You’re so good for me,”
You continue to bounce on his dick, feeling the back of the car steam up as you place a hand on the window, not wanting to fall off Jaemin’s lap. The cold feeling of the window cooling your hand as well as the window from the front seat that the driver rolls down. You come down from your high, riding Jaemin bounce up and down in a gentle manner making him roll his head and you kiss on his Adam’s apple giggling when feeling his cock hit your cervix. Your breathing pattern begins to weaken as you continue riding him.
Over time your bouncing becomes sloppy as you feel your stomach bunch up like a knot, feeling the need to release, "Jaemin~"
"I know, it feels good doesn’t it," He says and picks up on speed, sending his own hips into overdrive as he thrusts roughly into yours, trying his hardest to mismatch the pace of your bounces as his hand moves from your ass to your clit, rubbing your bud in a crazy circular motions causing you to hold onto his head tightly as you let out loud whimpers of pleasure. His thrusts into you are so powerful and dynamic that you feel that you get knocked into another universe when stars fill your vision. Your thighs begin to shake once Jaemin pounds into you one last time. “Fuck, I love when your legs do that, shake for me, shake,”
He coos as you release all over his cock feeling the knot untighten in your stomach, a loud moan exiting your lips as your body jolts and shakes. You feel him cum inside you, a few minutes after. You get off his lap and collapse into the chair next to him, feeling his cum drip out your cunt, exhaustion overtaking your body. Your chest heaves as you pant harshly trying to regain your breathing pattern.
Sweat coats Jaemin’s forehead causing his black hair to cling to his forehead. He’s seated on the chair for some time before a quick glance at you has him holding onto your thigh before you close it and wipe yourself. He gets the wipe away from your hand a crazy idea weaves its way into your mind. “Let me clean you up,”
“Jaemin,” Jaemin gets on his knee before taking in your bud with his tongue. A wicked smirk gets on his face, as his tongue finds itself by your entrance pumping inside you. He smirks, when your thighs shake around his head. It goes on, with him licking and sucking you clean. When he’s done, your body is squirming as little squeaks leave your body. “Shit,” You curse out lightly panting out, as Jaemin gets back on his seat, his legs spread open with his dick slightly deflated.
You’ve never sucked Jaehyun off before, reason being you were afraid of somehow grating him. Yet, your hand holds onto Jaemin’s shaft surprising him. His eyes open and peer at you, but you’re already lowering yourself and you place your lips on the tip, sucking on it swiftly, cheeks hollowing whilst your tongue swirls around his slit. He lets out a string of groans and moans as you continue to pump him, wanting him to cum in your mouth. You give him a few more pumps feeling him twitch before he finally releases his load in your mouth. His warm, white, thick cum fills your mouth, you instantly swallow and squeeze your eyes shut.
Some of his cum had spilled onto your chest then trickled down onto your shirt.
Sitting beside him pulling your shirt over your shoulders and fixing your bra as you button your shirt, you can’t help the smile over your lips as you peek at him- who surprisingly has his eyes on you. “You’re amazing you know,”
“I know,” You laugh a little. Getting your pants on, you begin helping Jaemin to button up his shirt, especially seeing as you’re close to your neighborhood…when you’re still down the mountain, but it’s close.
"So, where are we going?”
“My house,” You say smiling earnestly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Is this your house?"
"Yes,"
"This is your house?”
“Yes,”
“This is the inside of your house?”
“Yes,”
"This is the living room?"
"Yes,"
“This is your bathroom?”
“Yes,”
“This is the inside of your room?”
“Yes,”
You answer to all of Jaemin’s straight forward questions, finding it amusing how his jaw drops wider with each and every place you take him too.
“This belongs all to you and your husband? No tenants? Roommates?” Jaemin’s jaw drops upon stepping into the lounge of your house. “No way you’re living here all alone. No pets, no maids, just you? Seriously?” You smile lightly when getting out your room seeing Jaemin’s eyes all over the place ogling your entire house. “No wonder Haera wants me to-”
“No.” You instantly say out loud crossing your arms, coming down the stairs with him. “Don’t do that. Don’t compare yourself to what Haera wants. I didn’t bring you here for that,”
“Oh,” Jaemin somehow feels flustered, and in a charming accent he asks. “So why did you bring me here?”
“You were about to run away from your own house. I know you’re supposed to be celebrating, but,” You hold onto his hand pulling him to follow you as you go up the stairs into one of the balconies. The sun slightly tipping over the mansion of your house has him in awe. “I want you to massage me. Just like you did, the first time we met,”
“Massage?” Jaemin’s eyes turn to you, his eyes widening when you walk backwards undoing your own buttons of your shirt. You turn around and remove your shirt tossing it on the ground, now working on your pants. You stomp them off your legs, walking onto one of the curvy wooden deck chairs- it’s in perfect alignment with the sun. You find yourself laying on it, your red bra and nude bottom (because Jaemin decided to rip off your thong in the car) inviting for Jaemin. “Massage?” He asks again.
“I want your hands on me,”
“You know, it’s not gonna end up in me massaging you right?”
“Whatever it’ll end up being, I don’t care,” You shrug your shoulders leaning your arms on the back of your head. “I just want your hands on my body,”

By the time the clock strikes 6 pm, the knock out time for the employees, there's an atmosphere of longing. To believe that everyone would not be coming in the next day was completely unsettling. For most, their work place had become a home they could escape to, for a few it was a place to escape from- but for everyone it definitely was a part of their lives. Just like their clients, the employees as well found something in this business that they've never found anywhere else. So for the boss, to announce that the next day would be a day off- everyone had the same thought of what they would do when they eventually came back to work. Others for sure thought that they’d be replaced but only time would tell.
For Jaehyun however, the matter was different. Once he closed his laptop and put on his black pullover, all thoughts of business left his brain. The only thoughts that occupied his mind was his reward from his wife that he'd soon get when going home.
He couldn’t lie, he got needy from the thoughts alone, and it didn’t help with the pictures you sent. He had to be modest and not overthink his reward, but he was hoping for something to come out of this. Aside from that, the thoughts alone of spending time with you made his heart beat heavily. For the first in forever he’d be all alone with you.
This would be the earliest he'd be going home, and it made him feel excited like a little boy. So when he leaves his office and locks the door with a part smile playing on his lips, Chae-won who's getting out her cubic notices the little smile and feels chills down her spin. Her boss was definitely possessed. Seeing him happy made her confused. He hands the keys over to her telling her to have a good afternoon before heading to the elevators. In total they're seven elevators but Jaehyun liked the middle elevator more, for no reason in particular.
He steps into the elevator and it begins to go down but he isn't prepared for the amount of times it would seize at random floors with some of the employees wanting to enter. Yet when they realise it’s their boss they quickly excuse themselves and let the elevator door close. After all, who would want to have a ride with the boss? That's scary.
By the time the elevator reaches the 37th floor, Jaehyun has a pained bored expression on his face. When it reaches the 30th floor he has a pounding scowl that pushes away anyone by itself. But on the 26th floor when the elevator doors open, a grinning man, Johnny is the only manager who's got the guts to step into the lift with the boss.
"Sir," Johnny addresses.
Jaehyun acknowledges him. "Johnny,"
"You sound exasperated,"
Jaehyun surprises himself when he finds himself answering. "Since I've been going down. It never stops.”
Johnny chuckles. "Believe it or not sir, this elevator should've been full already by the the first few people of the 39th floor,"
Jaehyun lets out a snicker. "Then why isn't it full?"
"I presume you may be the cause," Johnny nods his head.
"Me?"
"If nobody has told you, let me be the first." Johnny leans in closer. "With respect sir, you could pass for the devil himself. Your face doesn't scream the words inviting or kindness. It screams the words, I'll push you into hell."
This makes Jaehyun automatically soften his face to a decent smile. "I'm well aware of the power I have."
Johnny chuckles. "A high power. I'm surprised you haven't spoken about the deal?"
"I must admit that immediately after the second meeting your enthusiasm shot rocket high. I'm glad that you got our best investor back on board, it really calms me down," Jaehyun nods his head. "Reason I haven't mentioned it, because I want to focus on this little break ahead,"
The elevator door opens on the 20th floor and Jaehyun sighs. "Not again. If you're not getting in press the close button."
At the demanding tone of their boss almost all of them step back allowing for the elevator to go on, that's until a large hand squeezes right in between the closing doors. A rusty Mark comes inside with big deer eyes and an inviting smile, but his whole face freezes at the sight of his boss and his manager. He got why everyone was shifting towards the other elevators instead of this one.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know." His tall figure humbly bows down nearly touching Johnny's waist.
"There's no problem Mark," Johnny, his manager answers. "Jaehyun, this is Mark our fine diplomat and back end developer. He’s in charge of maintaining and storing company data. He's easy money on technology, he brings us the finest designs every time."
Jaehyun nods his head sticking his hand out towards the fellow being. He really didn't want to talk business, he wanted to focus on nothing but the break ahead, but hearing compliments about employees really drew him in. He always felt it was his duty to give thanks to all hard work efforts. "Johnny's regard is never wrong. I trust you're a fine member of our team. Keep it up."
"Thank you sir." Mark smiles withdrawing his hand from the firm grip of the boss. "Thank you for this break as well. It really came unexpectedly. I mean after getting back our prized investor on board, I'd suspect that another row of work was ahead. But this break of meditation is what I needed, what we all needed and–"
"You'll have to forgive Mark here. The downfall of his precious skill and talent, is that he never stops talking," Johnny gives a specific look to the tall being causing Mark to retreat in silence.
Jaehyun nods his head. "In that case, come to my office Thursday morning and we'll see how to use that skill."
"Am I getting promoted?" Mark asks out loud being surprised.
"Self-verification is needed for me to decide that." Jaehyun remarks. "If I remember."
Mark already bows his head and in complete triumph thanks the boss for the promotion. All three men with no further interruption make it peacefully out the elevator and already awaiting for Jaehyun is an arrogant Taeyong.
"Wow you weren't kidding when you said you're coming out early." Taeyong acknowledges with a smirk.
"I wasn't expecting you to come. But since you're here, you can give me a lift." Jaehyun smiles making his way to his private parking, but Taeyong quickly holds him back.
"I get that coming out early has its advantages, I just don't understand this whole smile going on," Taeyong asks. "Plus, my car's this way." Taeyong points outside the building instead of in the parking.
"You mean my car," Jaehyun stands still.
"Well just as you are surprised to see me here, it definitely means I didn't come for you." Taeyong explains.
"Who did you come for if not me?" Jaehyun asks.
Taeyong looks towards the sensory processing machine. A calm and composed Chae-won scans her identity pass card and presses her finger on the little machine allowing her to move through the metal detectors successfully. She instantly meets Taeyong's eyes and he smirks. "Her,"
Chae-won's fasted pace immediately slows down when seeing her boss. Her fingers knit together and her face morphed in shock. Jaehyun on the other hand, briefly turns to Taeyong saying nothing about the matter except for him to lead the way to the car.
Jaehyun takes the front seat just as Taeyong opens up the back door for Chae-won. The trio are on the road with Taeyong driving the car safely playing some light jazz music in the background. The roads are full and lightly heading into traffic as it's 6pm and everyone's leaving work. Taeyong takes a sacred route deciding to drop Jaehyun off first. He wanted his time obviously alone with Chae-won. The car ride was meant for him and her, not a third party. However, no one complained. Jaehyun said nothing concerning why Chae-won was with Taeyong, he didn't even offer it as an option of conversation.
The conversation he had with Taeyong was relaxed and free as if a female wasn't present in the car. All business related matters as well as economic topics and suddenly going to the topic of music, which Chae-won learns that Jaehyun is very passionate in it. He even has records of music that Taeyong still has to return. Chae-won hears her boss laugh for the first time, but slumps because she can’t see it in the backseat position, but she can see Taeyong. Taeyong tries bringing her into the conversation a few times with which she only inputs with polite laughs and hums.
Taeyong turns into the wealthy compound driving up the hill going up into the secured area.
"Wow, sir, you leave on a hill?" Chae-won lowly speaks in absolute bewilderment tone.
Jaehyun hears her and nods his head. "People think that having large amounts of money will fulfill their happiness. They honestly think they can handle that responsibility. Managing a house budget, living from paycheck to paycheck and then growing my empire to this state all so that treasure may follow me. For me this isn't a house on a hill, rather it's a responsibility that I often hold up on a pedestal,"
"Oh please responsibility of what?" Taeyong smirks turning to his friend. "Your house is not too hot or too cold, you've got running water, clean water, you have a plentiful supply of high quality food you don't have to spend your time scrounging around to deliver, especially since you've got a banging wife in your corner. You my friend are basically covered in every sense."
Jaehyun laughs slightly. "Don't call my wife banging. But you're right. I don't have to scrounge around but I do have to ensure that I'm not effecting the stats of mankind, I make sure that at least 20% of my business gross income goes into profitable chains of humanity growth, I have to ensure that I'm not harming the environment and that my means of living do not affect or rather contribute to evil capitalist. I'm not ashamed to make money, but I have to hold myself in check every time. So this house is a responsibility, rather then a lifestyle."
"Branding, marketing and sales are different. Yet you are constantly branding, which is a long-term game. You are missing out on opportunities just because you make everything in your boxed world perfect. Jaehyun you need to live, at least just a little. Take a vaction trip with your wife, go get a massage, when was the last time you even partied? Kiss your wife like you're going mad, make love to her so that you she doesn't go branding off to another guy, because let's face it, you leaving her alone all the time is a scary amount of trust that you're placing on her," Taeyong advices. "I'm telling you Chae, frat boy Jaehyun is a different breed and man all together," Taeyong jokes making Chae-won giggle while Jaehyun snorts out a mocking laugh.
"I do not have the time to do all those things just yet," Jaehyun comments. "Besides, I know my wife. She's faithful,"
In the backseat, Chae-won smiles at the sound of her boss sounding soft like a petal for his wife. With her eyes still looking so stunned by the beauty of his house, she can't help but look at Taeyong. It's been a while since she got laid.
Getting her eye back on the view of the mansion, she's stuck in awe, with the sunset still setting, creating soft pastel colors of orange to surround as well as put emphasis on the grand size of the house. The more they go up, the bigger it gets until she comes with a side view of the entire house, but it’s being blocked by huge gates.
Taeyong stops the car by a set of huge gates, the security guard opens up his little window seeing Taeyong and Jaehyun before opening up the gate, humbly greeting both the men. The drive way is long and covered by massive trees but finally when they reach to a stop Chae-won's jaw cannot close by itself anymore. This isn’t just a house, it’s a dream that she’s always wanted. It looks more like a large banquet hall or even conference building. The vogue white with grey elevated high roofs, the house itself is charmed with beauty and old money. The windows are high, clear and clean- with just the right amount of sunlight hitting against and creating a hue of reflection making Chae-won feel partially blind from it’s elegance. Of course she couldn’t expect anything less from her boss, but this was just killing her. This house, this mansion was not just a dream but the type of dream lifestyle she could never have. To see it, to really set eyes on a mansion, she knows now that if she works hard enough… it can be possible for her too.
There’s absolutely no way he stays alone in this house with just his wife. It’s huge!
"Thanks," Jaehyun opens up the door.
"No problem," Taeyong smiles turning to the backseat looking at Chae-won, who's still fanatic over her boss's house. "Come to the front babe,"
The word babe gets her out of her day dream and she shakes her head before looking back to Taeyong. He just nods his head to the front and she opens up her door as well. To her surprise Jaehyun is already going up the stairs of his house. Just a little bit longer, she takes a good glance at the mansion, letting her eyes go over its aesthetics.
“One day.” She quickly takes the front seat, buckling herself. "Did he say bye?" She asks looking out the window again.
Taeyong smirks slightly turning to her, he draws his hand under her chin turning her fixed eyes onto his. "He doesn't need to say bye, am I dying?"
"Uh, no?" She tilts her head being confused.
"Then there's no need for such words," he gets close enough to leave a bold statement on her neck, nibbling her skin a little bit more. Her eyes instantly close feeling her heart raising in a good way. "Mmm, how about we go back to your place and have some tea then we can get into it yeah?"
"Agreed," she pants out as he begins driving with his hand running up and down her thigh. The image of Jaehyun's home leaving her mind being replaced by the silk white duvet that Taeyong, for the second time would be placing her on. "I honestly thought you would be a one-night stand guy and I'd never see you again,"
"What am I now?" Taeyong asks.
"A second night stand guy who I'm seeing again,"
Taeyong chuckles while leaving the complex block of diverse houses just as Jaehyun enters into his home. With the open view windows allowing the sunset to shine into the house, Jaehyun carefully closes the large door walking inside with a smile as his eyes look up the high ceiling wondering where you are. Walking a few steps within the house, his eyes turn to the open layer of the living room- but he doesn’t see you. He leaves his work bag on the ornamented cream podium holding up vases of lilac flowers- you especially liked them because of their radiant pigments in boldness.
He goes up the long curvy flight of stairs passing by the large spaced area filled with podiums of different vases or statues before going to look for you in the room.
He frowns when opening up the door and you’re not there as well. He removes his black pullover and undoes his tie opening up the first few buttons. He was expecting to find you at home so that he could, once again, surprise you. But like the other time, you don’t seem to be home. He continues to search, hoping that you’d be perhaps in the kitchen and your camera studio which is in one of the rooms upstairs, but you aren’t there.
He however finds your shirt, pants and bra left out in the open on one of the balconies. The sight has him in fantasy, but he tries to find you first. What surprise did you plan for him?
Maybe you’re with Haera again. He picks up his phone going down the steps about to call you-
But that's until the front door opens up and a long dragged groan is heard from the living room. His eyebrows knot together and he quietly makes it down the steps seeing you holding a few paper bags in your hands as your phone is pressed in between your ear and shoulder. You stomp through the house going to the kitchen, with a quiet Jaehyun following behind you. You’re in a tensed conversation and Jaehyun’s face gets engulfed in anger- wondering who’s making you angry like that.
"I've had enough of this Haera. Just stop please!" You lose it. "Stop! I'm tired of you always saying that. Jaehyun isn't-" You drop the paper bags with grocery items sticking out on the counter. "He's not cheating on me! You don’t know him, you aren’t the one married to him. Why the hell do you always have that mentality? I'm not you! And you’re not me, stop sticking your foot in me and my husband’s relationship. My husband loves me and will never do that- Don't you dare go there. I swear to god Haera if you-" You huff out your hand gripping on the counter.
Jaehyun not liking how upset and fired up you’re getting immediately steps in your view caressing your waist taking the phone out of your tight grip. You jump a little but upon seeing Jaehyun your heart cools down. Yet, your heartbeats fast, when how minutes ago Jaemin went down on you in the house. Why is it, that only when you’re getting your hands dirty, Jaehyun is here? The tears are close to spilling out your eyes, and just seeing him makes you want to cry. Haera was fired up- saying how she spotted him with someone else. You knew she was lying but still, the mere fact that it could be a reality had you in rage-full tears, because you know him and how much he loved you. When you blink, the little tears leave your eyes and you have to cover your face sniffing back.
Jaehyun can hear the heated tension even before the phone is to his ear. Haera's screams are heard but immediately silence down when hearing a deep voice that she hasn't heard in so long. He speaks calmly but his threat shuts Haera up immediately. "Upset my wife again Haera, and I'll have you blacklisted all over the country. You know I can do that right? Don't test me."
After his threat he cuts the call leaving the phone on the counter. With his hand massaging around your waist, his heart slumps when seeing you sniff back. Carefully, he turns his body towards you bringing your waist closer to him. "Is this what you have to deal with every time I'm not home?" He whispers gently circling his hand around your wrist and the other departs from your waist to the back of your head. “Oh honey,”
You sulk and rest your head on his chest playing with the collar of his shirt as he places his face in between your neck, his hands circling your waist. You close your eyes only happy to have his warmth sipping into you along with the fragrance of his scent. "The worst,"
"Don't mind her,” Jaehyun assures calmly. “I'm here now,"
Your smile rises up to your eyes and you lean back to have a look at him. “Yes you are," Your about to ask about his work and why he's home early but his hand twirls you around and you giggle when your back is pressed against his front.
"Now," he claps his hands, still keeping your embraced and cupped into him with his chin on top of your head, rubbing his hands heading to the counter to the bags you brought in. "What are we making?"
"You decide," You smile beginning to unpack the few things you bought from the store. "It's been a long time since you've eaten what you wanted,"
He laughs. "That's right, you've just been giving me whatever you wanted without any of my consent,"
"I bought these," you show him the view of the full packet of smoked fish and oysters. “I was thinking seaside marinated salmon Sashimi and oyster fritters. What would you want?”
"I love that already,” Jaehyun’s smile is bright when you crane your neck to have a look at him.
“Yes, but what would you want? Side dish wise,”
“Hmm let's see, maybe you?"
"You're still such a bad flirt," You giggle.
"Spicy carbonara and spam omelet kimbap," Jaehyun kisses your neck.
“You’re so simple,” You can't help the giggle that bubbles inside of you as you lay your head back on his chest. "Today we’re gonna cook together. Is that okay?”
His lips find yours and his hands wrap around your waist making you turn around so that his lips can feel you more. Your moist plump lips have him wanting more, but he walks backwards before he places you on the kitchen stool. He breaks the kiss looking into your eyes before kissing you again. "Why don’t you sit," he whispers causing her to smile. “And then I can cook?”
"Tap me in when you need help,"
The evening goes well with some white wine and you catching Jaehyun up on your little house adventures, from changing up all the furniture to setting up a new studio in one of the rooms because of the view. Jaehyun inputs about the vases of flowers he saw, and how liked the warm colors around the house. He comments about how he likes that you’re not as bored around the house, but still enquires about getting a little cat to keep you company. For every little thing he makes, he allows you to have a taste- and eventually it becomes you walking around with wine being his taste subject, until you take over with him now drinking wine and letting himself go.
A nice supper around the kitchen filled with chatting mostly coming from you and Jaehyun admiring your entire being. His cheeks a light pink, his hair fuzzy and his enticing eyes on you while you both eat the delicious combinations of food. You both drink less, talk more, make subtle touches here and there loving the feel of having company tonight.
You don’t mention his work, feeling that it’ll be a complete kill mood, so you joke about taking over his work so that you can eat like this every day. Jaehyun loves to cook, although not to wash and dry, however, wanting more time to touch and feel him, you wash and he dries the plates. Jaehyun opens a new bottle of wine, kissing your cheek as you feel on his hair. He traps you in between the counter letting his nose sniff you, your body getting warm enjoying his presence. Quietly you both talk less, drink more and smile at each other going around the house.
“What new photos have you worked on?”
His question becomes a little tour around your little studio on the second floor where your photo designs and catalogues are. One thing Jaehyun loved about you, was your art and passion for photos. You were aesthetic and had a complete furtive sensual vibe. Your pictures are fabulous as usual and imaginative, some quite delicate, others a little erotic and emotional. While he looks through your various photos, specifically your erotic catalogue, you move to the next room going over to his record player setting the mood when playing one of his favorite records.
Cigarettes after sex.
No sooner then later, he follows you into the room where all his records where styled and hung on the wall, some cd players having their own wall as well. “Loved what you’ve done here,”
“All things music,” You smile.
Conversation easily sips into remarks that Jaehyun finds amusing of all the things you’re into, as well as all the embarrassing songs you were into. The only thing standing between him and you is his wide and diverse interest in music. A passion for heavy nostalgic music to gentle classics. Kept in a class case is an electric guitar that he gets out to play for you just as John Wayne plays. You play very badly which makes him laugh, yet he goes in sync with the tone and melody. You stand around him, drinking and slowly moving your body in a thematic suggestive way. Both your glasses are empty now, as you sit on the floor, listening to him sing along like the fanboy he his. But instead of it being unbearable to listen to, it’s smooth and music to your ears.
He makes you laugh, which intrigues you all the time, he’s hard looking but is so sensitive, yet closed but is so interesting. And that’s what you loved about him, because he was interesting as a person. He asks insightful questions, gives open answers, doesn’t try to impress you or even try to be cool, he’s just himself and smiles knowingly when you do something. Natural. Everything with him, is always so natural.
He connects the speakers to the record, so that the gentle album plays on with you and him souring around the house talking about kissing, and talking and kissing, kissing and drinking wine on the kitchen counter. Talking more and straddling him in the living room, talking and laughing, cuddling and laying your head on his chest. He gets up, from the living room going to the neighboring living room where they fire place is set. You follow him, the warmth on your cheeks making you aware of your little excitement. It’s an electronic fire place, so while he sets it up setting the view of which fire would look good and what temperature matches the mood- your sidetracked when you hear a ringing phone. It’s yours.
The smile drowns slowly from your face, before you move away from heated room moving to the kitchen.
"Jaemin?" You whisper and move further inside shutting the French doors. "Why are you calling me at this time? Are you insane!"
Jaemin's tone drastically turns to surprise. He isn’t expecting you to be angry, from the few times he calls you’d be wet and ready for him. "What's wrong? Why's my sweetheart yelling?"
"I'm not your sweetheart. Don't call me that," You warn as your chest rises. "My husband's home. So don't call me again."
"Your husband-"
You cut the call grumbling to yourself, scolding yourself for making him believe he had a chance with you.
"Jae?" You call out walking out the kitchen not finding him where you last left him.
"Upstairs,"
Instead of the living room downstairs, you follow his voice to the spacious living room upstairs seeing him on the floor by the fire place, not the electronic one, but the actual one. It already has wood inside, and by the rise of the slow flames you can see him with the metal stick conducting the fire. "Hey," You smile entering the room, suddenly aware of the setting.
Taking a seat next to him on the pillows that he has planted on the floor.
He adjusts his position laying his head on your thighs, his hand gently travelling to your neck as his eyes beam into you. "Why are you so…”
"So what?"
"Beautiful," his breath is soft, with a smile crawling on his lips.
You roll your head around trying not to laugh. "How dare you use the B word? I thought we weren't gonna use that word anymore,"
"Can’t help it when it’s true," he snickers slowly. You can feel the love in the atmosphere, and his eyes say it all. He wants you. "It's been a while seeing your face, you know what I missed most?"
"My eyes?" You ask and he blinks slowly with his dimpled smile never fading. "What did you miss?"
“Touch me with a kiss, want you to feel me on your lips,” He mummers lowly singing along with the record playing in the back.
You carefully bend down tilting your head to the side meeting his lips. It doesn't take long for him to respond to your kiss, his hand moving behind her neck removing her ribbon allowing your hair to fan across your shoulder. He breaks the kiss just to see the twinkle in your eyes and your face.
"Goddamn, you’re beautiful," he mutters thickly. He takes initiative getting his head off your lap, pushing you back on the pillows, holding you down lightly as you arch patiently towards him. He smiles taking his sweet time. He mouths his way down your neck undoing the buttons of your shirt. Having his warm fingers tingle your skin, you feel his big hands going behind your back unclipping your bra. "Is this okay?"
"Mmh," your whispers.
He continues to mouth his way up your body, your warmth on his tongue when he kisses you again. He strokes your heavy tits as they splay on either side of your ribcage, his mouth now going lower and lower. He dips his tongue into your middle tracing delicate whorls down your belly, leaving your large rounds to unbutton your jeans pulling them down along with her white erotic panties. He then spreads your legs and pulls you to the edge of him, you sit up helping him unbutton his shirt and removing his pants. Just as your lips find his again, the taste lingering of the wine. Tongues wrestling around each other, your wetness on his and his wetness on you.
"Tell me what you want," he begins kissing your neck again allowing you to move your hands anywhere. You clutch his back going up to his neck running her hands on his hair. He isn’t to know that you had rough sex with Jaemin today- TWICE!
His lips find yours just as his manhood falls on your thigh making you moan. He laughs a little into the kiss, especially when his member rods itself and moves gently. Feeling him, you gasp lightly. How you’ve missed this, you’ve missed him and his member which always had a mind of its own.
"Hold me," You breaks the kiss whispering into his ear. He picks you up placing you on his shaft, you both stare into each other’s eyes strings of moans leaving your lips. Jaemins might’ve been rough, but Jaehyun was a package full of caring. Upon adjusting to his member, with your eyes fixed on his own lustful eyes, he pounds himself hard and comes out slow, going in hard and coming out slow.
His eyes, your lustful sanctuary, his body pressing into yours loving the bounce of your breast. His eyes never leave yours, just as his slow passionate thrust become heavy and more impactful, before plunging inside- his hips bucking into you rampaging inside of you, your wetness invites and envelopes him with every coming in. Your eyes shut, your hands on his shoulders, allowing him to do all the heavy lifting. You feel as though you might fly off him with every thrust he engraves in you.
You’re breathlessly moaning out at the top of your lungs, your head thrown back, just as his arms grip onto your waist, humping and grunting every time.
You’re moaning out his name, calling out to him eagerly and passionately only making him grow harder inside of you. “Jae~ Jae don’t stop, ah don’t stop~” He’s panting, holding you tight helping you go up and down, moving together.
You were his first and every time he’d get at it with you, he always felt the same as the first time. Special. He loved being inside you, how you made him feel. Under your skin and inside his head, he can’t help but press you into him hugging you tight as he pounds into you, his eyes on you. Even though you struggle to keep your eyes open, his eyes are on you loving your every expression. You are so beautiful that he doesn’t even know what to do.
When you both come into each other, you’re left shaking on his member from the pleasure and that makes Jaehyun laugh.
“How I missed that,” He laughs kissing your chest as you hug his body close to you.
He then lays your body back on the fort of pillows, spooning you into him, his breath hitting warmly against your back, his warm temperature making you push further into him, his arms around your waist just as the other hand strokes her hair and scalp from the back.
You briefly turn your body so that you’re facing him, your eyes leach into his own lustful ones. He whispers to you. "I'm crazy about you,"
You smile tiredly. “Love on the floor,”
He kisses your lips briefly muttering how we’ll get cold, before moving getting up quick and moving to couch where there’s a little adornment blanket. You place your head underneath your hand smiling when you look at him and his firm buttock. The confidence he has, makes you prrr out. “So manly,”
He chuckles deeply picking it up and coming back on the floors resting his head on the pillow next to you while using the soft refined sheet to drape around us. “Feels like we’re emperors,”
“Why do you say that?” He smile already having a feeling you’d understand.
“Sex by the fire, draped in sheets,” He mutters softly his eyes following his finger as it traces you’re your outline. From your lips down to your breast that’s firmly perking. His head dips down and he slants over to give your boobs attention. You moan lightly turning your head to look for your pants. When you find it, you pick it up getting your phone. Opening up the camera to pane down to your husband sucking your nipple off, you take a picture capturing the moment.
Just then, he smirks and moves his head back just as you snap another picture. He takes your phone gently from your grip and mutters. “Trust me when I say, the view of you is much better,” And he’s not wrong. You’re lying in front of the fire place, with your head prepped up by your elbow bent you’re your head on the palm of your hand and the blanket draped over your waist exposing the graceful beauty which are your boobs. Jaehyun gets himself steady, leaning back setting the phone on landscape view taking motionless pictures of you. You pose with your eyes vastly focused on him, until you move to him holding onto his waist kissing the tip of his slowly hard cock. “Baby,” he whispers, snapping a picture being impressed by your eyes that peer up. You begin to rub your hand up his chest, you lips kissing up his abs licking on them.
Your phone then rings, and his eyes move to the name being shown while the phone rings in silence. He tilts his head by the odd name. "Haera's husband?"
Instantly your motion of going down on him stops- if Jaehyun looked at the camera that was still opened he would’ve seen the guilt wave wash over your eyes in the instant, however it’s on the contact name. "Who's he?”
He turns the phone around, his eyes now turning to you.
He doesn’t look suspicious of anything just confused. And he really is, why is Haera’s husband calling you and who is he? The Haera he knew never had a husband. “And why's he calling you?"
Your hand is fast in taking the phone from his hand. "He's Haera's husband and he's probably calling because umm, he's looking for Haera or something. Because you know, she's crazy and stuff and not even her husband can keep up with her," You nervously ramble and cut the call- switching off the phone altogether clearing your throat before laying down again, just as Jaehyun follows you.
“Husband?" Jaehyun’s eyes enlighten. Your races wondering what he’s thinking. "Haera has a husband? That's shocking, who could love a cold soul like hers?"
"That's harsh babe, don't be like that," You pick up quick on his words and try to deviate the direction of the conversation a little.
“Don’t hate me,” He snickers using his fingers to brush over your jawline. “It’s what she used to say about me,”
Suddenly your thoughts aren’t on getting caught, but at the slight recollection of memories. As much as Haera loved dragging your relationship with Jaehyun down, in college it wasn’t any easier with her constantly giving him side eyes and attitude saying he didn’t deserve you at all. She’d say all sorts of nasty things indirectly addressing him whenever he was around. She’d look at you and say them out loud while he was there- she said some really nasty things as if he wasn’t even there. “You still remember her words?”
Jaehyun’s eyes go over your face for a brief second. He doesn’t say anything, as his eyes fall to your lips that’s in a slight frown. Simply, he breathes out. Jaehyun can never forget it. He can never forget how much Haera criticized everything about him because he was poor and an orphan, saying rude things all the time to him. It’s one of the many worries he had, that you’d eventually listen to your best friend and leave him alone.
Being in his own head, his eyes snap away from your lips when their pressed gently against his, before you rest your head on his chest snuggling to get into his arms. “I could love a cold soul like you. In fact, I love you,"
That puts a slight smile on his face, just as his hand roams around the nude your back. "Why didn't you answer his call?" He asks out the blue, plucking your attention back on stress. This time Jaehyun wonders deeply, about why Haera’s husband would call you- especially at this time of the night. For that reason, you sigh out internally and lean back to look into his eyes. "It’s hard keeping up with her, so he could be worried about something?”
You find yourself shrugging your shoulders. "I don't care about her or him. He's most likely gonna complain just like Haera- but let's not focus on that. It's all about you right," You dodge again.
He smirks and picks up your hand kissing on it. “I have the whole day off tomorrow,”
Your eyes enlarge in delight. “Are you serious? Are you really serious? I’ll really be waking up with you next to me? Jae?” You instantly smile looking up to him with tremendous joy. "Jae, I’ve missed spending time with you,”
In your heart, you repent. You repent for cheating on Jaehyun, as you know that your eyes on him are wholesome and pure. You love him. Even when you’re with Jaemin (which should never happen again- YOU’RE SERIOUS THIS TIME) your heart longs for Jaehyun. It’s the only reason, why you’ve allowed yourself to indulge in Jaemin, because you’ve been lonely. But recently, Jaehyun’s presence seems consistent. You don’t want him to disappear into his office again. You hold onto him tightly feeling so right.
“I’m sorry,” You say quietly, but his ears hear.
“About?” He whispers.
And you dig yourself into him. You can’t say the real reason why, and you also feel guilty for any words that might leave your lips. You’ve been a bad wife. “For making you work so hard,”
Jaehyun’s heart that was tightened in worry, calms down by your words. His arms circle you tight and not letting you go. His only fear is you letting go of him. “I’m sorry too,”
Now it’s time for your heart to heave in your chest. “Why?”
“For leaving you alone,” He presses himself closer to you again.
Even though he's holding you in his arms, he can't help but fear that you're somehow a bit distant from him. Perhaps it's because of not seeing each other in so long, but there's something else you're not showing and letting on. He can't help but think about Taeyong's words. He just hopes that it isn't true.

I agree with you about what that anon said about people saying their kisses don't look real and passionate. It's casual intimacy and I'm surprised that some people have forgotten that it exists. Their kisses are 100% real. Sometimes I question if we're watching the same show.
People create problems when things are going well because they want something to argue about. It blows my mind that they’re getting this criticism when they’re far more affectionate than any other couple on the show currently. It’s a sign of how healthy their relationship is that they’re always kissing and touching casually!! It doesn’t mean they lack passion or the kisses are fake (the fake kisses thing is so laughable considering how 99.9% of their kisses are fully in view. The directors are just ameteurs, guys! It doesn’t mean they’re not kissing when there’s an over the shoulder shot one time!)

Appetence
PSA don't cheat on your partner. Also, this one is based on one of my more personal writings. If you want me to doctor that one so it can be posted as a reader insert, let me know.
TW for kidnapping, captivity, implied emotional unfaithfulness, implied Kalim x Reader x Jamil, mention of poison, isolation, and forced marriage.
You are supposed to want for nothing. And you would. That’s what he promised, and you would consider that promise fulfilled, if not for one factor.
Sure, you are laden with ornaments and fine fabrics, nothing but the best for his dear spouse, nothing but the best, but you are not entirely happy. 
Now that you’re back in Scalding Sands, Kalim has duties, and is no longer with you as often as he could be. He dotes on you, of course he does, but boundless energy has to end at some point. He still hosts parties, still enjoys wrestling with his brothers, still treats you as though you are a deity among humankind, but as happy you can be for him enjoying his home life once more, your eyes are not on your husband.
You did not want to marry Kalim. He promised you that you would want for nothing, that Grim would want for nothing, and you had no real choice but to accept when you found yourself trapped in one of the spare rooms in Scarabia, again. You were under the impression that becoming his spouse would mean that you would no longer be chained to the solid metal ring underneath the bed, no longer waiting to be taken care of. That was not the case.
At first, waiting for someone to take care of you was mortifying, but now you will gladly wait just so you can see him. 
Jamil. You are married to Kalim, but you are in love with Jamil. It’s ridiculous. You know if Kalim found out, he’d either become annoyed or he’d attempt to give you Jamil, but you don’t want that for him. You know it from experience, there is nothing worse than being forced to love someone. 
As though he is the devil, Jamil enters, carrying a tray and followed by a stout, middle aged man. The middle aged man is someone you’ve never seen before. Jamil places the tray on the table and the man takes a bite of each dish and pours a bit of your wine into another vessel so he can drink it himself. Jamil blankly watches and the man nods, then bows to you and excuses himself. You look back at Jamil.
“Kalim is under the impression that some of his former suitors and suitresses have it out for you. You’re safe, though. That man was just the poison taster.”
“Oh… Jamil, are you going to stay here for a while?”
He narrows his eyes, “Why?”
“I… I’m lonely, in here, and I don’t want to eat alone.” It wasn’t a lie. You hadn’t seen Kalim for hours, since he left before you woke up.
Jamil seems to consider this. He doesn’t answer until you take a seat at the table, his hands gently brushing your hair out of your face. There’s a ghost of a smile on his lips, something tender in his expression.
“Oh, baby bird,” He purrs, the nickname making your chest tight and tears well up in your eyes, “I only brought enough for you.”
“That’s okay! We can split it.”
His hand slides down to cup your cheek, an impossible warmth as his thumb swipes just under your eye, “No. You’ll need to keep up your strength. But I can stay for a few minutes.”
He takes a seat next to you, hand sliding across your back as he walks towards the chair Kalim usually sits in. He sits in it so easily, as though it’s where he belongs. You eat slowly, drink slowly, and Jamil is next to you the whole time, telling you story after story. Kalim has already told you most of these, they’re snippets of their daily lives, but they almost sound better coming from Jamil. More realistic. You find yourself nodding off as he speaks once you’re finished.
“Come on. If you fall asleep here, you’ll hurt your back.”
His hands are a gentle reassurance as he guides you back to your bed. As you take a seat, he quickly unlocks the ornate shackles around your ankles and begins massaging the swollen skin where they rested.
You lay on your side, legs dangling off the side of the bed as you sort of doze. It’s that comfortable state where you could fall asleep, but you aren’t. Jamil clicks the shackles back into place and tucks the blanket around you.
“Sweet dreams. I’ll come back tomorrow morning, if I can,” his voice is a whisper, a promise. 
You think you’re dreaming when his lips press against your temple.

everything i write is romance-adjacent because i love a pair of perfectly matched freaks but i hate writing romance. so they don't act in a way that's explicitly romantic because they have so many more interesting things going on. but it still kinda reads as a romance
