Episode 44: Reversal
How much time had passed since then?
My sense of time had long since melted away and disappeared.
"I can go all day."
As if to prove those words, Hyunseong ceaselessly ravaged my body.
I lost count of how many times I climaxed, how many condoms were used.
Around me, scattered on the bed, were spent condoms, boasting of his overwhelming stamina.
"Keuk, keuk."
My throat was completely hoarse and ruined from the relentless, intense acts.
My neck and lower body throbbed with a burning pain.
On my wrists and the insides of my thighs, his grip had left clear bruise marks.
"Yes, Rizeta. Looks like I won't be able to come home tonight either."
In this wretched reality, the man who had thoroughly violated and broken me sat casually on the edge of the bed, talking on the phone with someone.
"Something urgent came up. Yes, yes. It's nothing serious, so don't worry too much."
His gentle, careful voice was the complete opposite of the ruthless person who had just been assaulting me.
After hours of being tormented by this man, I couldn't even tell if that was his real self anymore.
His duplicity was endlessly disgusting.
"Yes. I'll tell you the details at home next time. Then tomorrow at home… Yes. Good night."
Finishing the short call, Hyunseong set his phone on the nightstand with a sigh.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he slipped under the covers and naturally wrapped his arm around my waist.
That heat made my skin crawl.
"I'll sleep here tonight and go to work in the morning."
I wanted to shake off his hand and run away right then.
Unfortunately, I didn't even have the strength left to move a finger.
After a night of continuous humiliation, my body and mind were already torn to shreds.
Meanwhile, that bastard showed no sign of fatigue, only a sly, satisfied smile gleaming in his eyes.
To be so lively even after all that-he's not human, he's a monster…
"By the way, how long did you take sick leave for?"
I kept my mouth shut.
I didn't want to exchange a single word or glance with this rapist.
Slap!
"Hiiik?!"
A sharp pain landed on my butt without warning, and I let out a scream before I knew it.
My body, hypersensitive from the endless stimulation, reacted helplessly even to such a small touch.
Shamefully, my lower belly clenched reflexively.
"You should answer nicely when I ask, okay?"
"I-it's until tomorrow, for now."
Hearing my pitifully cracked voice, he gently patted the spot he'd just slapped, as if handling something precious.
That hypocritical touch made my blood run cold.
"Really? I have to go to work tomorrow, but our junior gets to rest another day. I'm jealous."
Trying to make small talk after what he did to me made me want to vomit.
"Then, when you go back to work, make sure you tell your teammates or the team leader that it was all your misunderstanding."
My gaze unconsciously turned to him at those words.
In other words, he wanted me to publicly admit that I tried to frame him.
"That way, your reputation at work will drop, but you won't get fired. After all, it'll just be a rumor."
He added, smiling coldly as ice.
Honestly, it was unexpected.
If he wanted revenge, he could have just exposed everything I did and destroyed me socially.
"Oh, and what you said earlier-half right, half wrong."
As if reading my mind, he continued.
"I'm not sparing you just because I only want your body."
Then why…?
"That would be too boring."
His voice, cold as ice, made me hold my breath.
"Rather than that, it's much more fun to keep you under my feet and torment you until that arrogant pride of yours turns to dust."
At another time, I would have scoffed at such nonsense.
But remembering how he'd toyed with me until now sent chills through my whole body.
My lips trembled with helplessness and despair.
"So don't even dream of quitting out of shame and running away. Not that I'd ever allow it."
His ruthless voice tightened around me like a shackle.
He was no longer the naive, easy Hyunseong I used to look down on.
Slap!
"Hhng!?"
The pain was even sharper than before, and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Answer."
"Y-yes…"
Swallowing my humiliation, I nodded.
"Good. I like it when you're obedient like that."
His rough hand stroked my head as if petting a trained dog.
There was no kindness, only cold control and possessiveness.
"Let's keep getting along like this from now on, Mina."
That night, with my body and mind utterly ruined, I fell asleep in his arms as if losing consciousness.
What would become of my life, when this hell would end-I couldn't predict anything in the pitch-black darkness.

Two days later, the company was buzzing with new gossip.
That very morning, Park Mina, back from sick leave, teared up in front of Team Leader Kang Jooyoung and confessed that it was all her misunderstanding, that Senior Lee Hyunseong had done nothing wrong-the rumor spread in an instant.
"Hey, isn't this crazy? So, Mina was just putting on a show by herself?"
"I heard she was out to ruin a male senior's life. Total sociopath, right?"
"No wonder she seemed a bit off. Turns out she's way scarier than I thought."
The suspicion and contempt, the blatant whispers that had been aimed at me just two days ago, now turned toward Park Mina.
She was reaping exactly what she'd sown-serves her right.
…Of course, that didn't mean all suspicion about me was gone.
"Didn't they just plan it together? Does it make sense for her to confess all of a sudden like that?"
"Lee's kind of gloomy-looking and doesn't talk much."
"There must be something shady, that's why Team Leader Kang gave the project to Deputy Son."
Once an image is tarnished, it's hard to recover-especially for someone as invisible at work as me.
To restore my reputation, I'd need a clearer turning point.
Fortunately, the stage for that was already set before me.
How I used it was entirely up to me.
As I gathered my thoughts, I glanced at Mina, who sat beside me.
She tried desperately to cover up with makeup, but the dark circles under her eyes and her anxious, trembling demeanor were impossible to hide.
No wonder she was anxious-she never knew when her body might be controlled again.
She probably hadn't slept a wink all night.
"Oh my, Mina! Are you okay? Your face is half its usual size."
Right then, Son Junhyuk came into the office with his trademark easy smile and approached her.
"…Yes, I'm fine, Deputy."
Mina forced a smile at his words but kept glancing at me like a frightened puppy.
I barely held back a smirk as I listened to their conversation.
"Glad you're okay. But things feel different today, huh?"
Son Junhyuk pointed at the scarf around Mina's neck with his chin.
"Yeah, I just wanted to try a different look today."
She fiddled with the scarf as she answered.
Of course, it was just an excuse.
She was covering up the red and blue marks I'd left on her white neck two nights ago.
Son Junhyuk looked at her face for a moment, then nodded.
"Looks good. By the way, with the new project starting, help out a lot, Mina. You're so thorough."
"Ah… yes. Understood."
After smiling at Mina, he glanced my way, then went back to his seat without a word.
Shameless.
I stood up, pretending to head to the break room, and glanced over at Kang Jooyoung's desk.
As usual, she was buried in paperwork, but her expression looked sour, as if something was bothering her.
Without hesitation, I approached her.
I knew I wouldn't get a kind response, but I wanted to register her in the app as soon as possible.
"Team Leader?"
She didn't even look up from her papers as she answered, sounding annoyed.
"What is it, Assistant Manager Lee? I'm busy right now-unless it's important, come back later."
"I have something to discuss about the project. It's important."
At my firm tone, her hand paused for a moment.
She couldn't ignore anything related to the project.
"…Alright. Let's talk in the meeting room. Go wait there."
She reluctantly agreed.
"Yes."
I clenched my fist in my pocket as I turned away.
Fingering my smartphone, a sly smile naturally crept onto my lips.
I was already looking forward to seeing that cold face twisted with pleasure and humiliation.
