Prey (Lee Seohan) - Chapter 128
“……Our poor Detective Kim Choongseok.”
Twenty-five years had passed since then.
It had been a long time for Taewoo as well.
‘You’ve waited a long time, haven’t you, hyungnim(sir or older brother)?’
Kim Choongseok.
Taewoo’s eyes gleamed sharply as he thought of the detective who had been like an older brother to him and who died 25 years ago.
“…….”
Jeonghan silently observed those eyes.

“A business trip?”
Suhyeon blinked at Hyunwoo’s sudden remark. Hyunwoo grinned and said,
“Yes. Director Do Jeonghan has completed a resort in the Virgin Islands and will be attending the completion ceremony. He thinks there are aspects of the trip that might benefit the project we’re working on, so he asked me to adjust Manager Seol’s schedule.”
A sudden business trip to the Virgin Islands?
It was news that even Jeonghan hadn’t mentioned.
Suppressing her surprise, Suhyeon asked,
“Since when?”
“From next Tuesday to Friday. If there’s anything urgent you need to finish during that time, I’ll help you out.”
Hyunwoo spoke kindly.
Suhyeon appreciated how Hyunwoo, now aware of her past with Jeonghan, showed no sign of it in his demeanor, but she still looked uneasy.
“It’s not urgent… it’s just a bit sudden.”
“I’ve heard about the new Cheonkyung Resort being built there, and it seems like the architecture turned out really well. Take lots of photos while you’re there—I’m personally curious.”
Hyunwoo, who had a usual interest in architecture, said this and then added,
“It’ll be really helpful for Manager Seol’s work as well.”
Perhaps aware of Suhyeon’s hidden discomfort, Hyunwoo drew a firm line, emphasizing the professional aspect.
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
Suhyeon replied for now.
Given Do Jeonghan’s position of authority, it was natural that Hyunwoo couldn’t refuse the request. And as Hyunwoo said, it was likely to be beneficial for their architectural development projects.
But to specifically single her out for the trip? Without any discussion at all?
‘Seriously, this man.’
Frowning slightly, Suhyeon left the office and walked into a meeting room. There, she immediately called Jeonghan.
After a few rings, he answered the call.
– “Well, this is effective. Seol Suhyeon is the one calling me first.”
“A sudden business trip? What are you thinking? Is this seriously a work-related decision?”
– As if it could be.
Do Jeonghan let out a low laugh, not even bothering to hide his intentions.
“It’s not?”
– Don’t you care about social appearances?
“What?”
Suhyeon frowned, not understanding what he meant, but Jeonghan’s relaxed voice continued.
– If I dragged you along however, I wanted, people would obviously complain.
But I must take Seol Suhyeon with me on my vacation.
Suhyeon blinked.
“Vacation? So, you mean….”
– That’s right, I was being considerate.
Jeonghan summed it up simply.
Considerate, he says….
Pacing nervously in the meeting room, Suhyeon opened her mouth.
“Then this business trip is….”
– Just a public excuse to maintain Seol Suhyeon’s social image. Anything else you’re curious about? I’m on my way to a meeting.
“Oh, then let’s talk later.”
“I was about to hang up when Jeonghan’s low voice followed me.
– I’ll come by after work, so wait.
Ah.
With those words, the call ended. Suhyeon stared silently at the darkened screen.
Lately, every day…
Suhyeon’s earlobe turned red as he looked down at his phone.
After that confession, Do Jeonghan came to his house every day, whether it was early or late after work. Or else he would call him to his place.
Having intimacy every night was the same as before the divorce, but his behavior on the bed had changed from how it was back then.
His own reactions too.
‘Call my name. Seol Suhyeon.’
‘Ah, huh, ah, ahh, too deep…!’
‘I said, call me.’
‘No, uh, stop, ah, ah!’
‘Are you going to resist more?’
‘H-hhh! Ugh! Ah! Jeonghan… Do jeong, Han!’
‘…Ah, you’re making me dizzy. Really.’
The sound of a man immersed in pleasure and the sensation of his manhood becoming even stiffer inside him came to his mind at the same time.”
……What!
Suhyeon quickly shook her flushed face.
Having barely erased the lewd scene from her mind, she let out an awkward sigh.
Haa.
Every night, drenched in sweat and bodily fluids in Dojeonghan’s arms, she ended up moaning to the point of losing her voice.
And now this—Do Jeonghan and a vacation resort at a time like this.
“Honeymoon? We didn’t even go on one…”
Suhyeon muttered quietly, furrowing her brow and touching her chest with a troubled expression.
No matter how much she tried to ignore it, her heart was pounding wildly.
Caught up in a situation like this so suddenly, Suhyeon couldn’t help but feel both bewildered and, in some way, expectant.
Was it okay to let herself be swept away like this?
Without knowing anything?
