Property of SM Entertaint

4:15pm only 15 more minutes then you can finally leave.

That's the only thing on your mind right now. To be honest, you should probably be a bit more motivated since you were one of the lucky few who were actually able to work at such a prestigious company as SM Entertainment, not to mention the fact that you were able to get a job at SM while being a foreigner; but then again, you were still a 24 year old who just wanted to go home or more realistically be anywhere other than at work.

4:17pm, "fuck it's only been 2 minutes" you think.

Lots of people you meet, even your coworkers, have often asked how you ended up working at SM Entertainment in Seoul and honestly, you kind of had no idea. Well, sort of. To be honest, you had no idea what Kpop was or what SM Entertainment was until your sophomore year of college. It was the fall of 2020, you had finally returned to campus after being kicked out during Spring Break of your freshman year due to COVID. Quarantine had gotten to you that May and you caved and downloaded Tik Tok. During one of your doomscrolling sessions, you had stumbled upon a group of four pretty women singing in a language you did not recognize. You were instantly entranced by their visuals but even more so by how the blonde one with the chipmunk-like cheeks said "This beat got me feeling like". A few videos later, you learned that this group of four women was a group called "BlackPink" and apparently they were part of a genre called "Kpop". Suffice it to say, you were hooked. You started out by watching and listening to BlackPink; but eventually that led you to listening to more and more Kpop. You even ended up listening to so much Kpop that in your Spotify wrapped was entirely Kpop. That was 6 years ago now.

After a few years of listening to the music and consuming as much content as possible, you started to look into the Big 3 entertainment companies out of curiosity and when you landed on SM Entertainment's company home page, you were surprised to see that they were hiring for a Business Analyst role in Seoul. Having a YOLO moment, you decide to apply since who knows you miss every shot you don't take... and somehow you got an interview. A few interview rounds later, you were suddenly on a plane bound for Seoul with a job at one of the Big 3 entertainment companies waiting for you when you landed despite having 0 knowledge of the Korean language except for the words you picked up from Kdramas.

That was a year ago and somehow, not only were you not fired, despite still knowing very little Korean, you were even being pushed for larger tasks and bigger projects by your manager, who thankfully spoke fluent English thanks to going to college in the States. Another amazing part of being a foreigner employed at SM was that they didn't expect you to maintain the Korean work ethic/business hours, so the second it ticked 4:30, you were free to leave.

Realizing that you were spacing out a little too much, you shake yourself out of it and look at the clock on your laptop, 4:30pm. Seeing that it was finally quitting time, you quickly packed up your backpack before saying goodbye to your manager and the rest of your team and heading to the nearest elevator. Hitting the down button, you wait for a few seconds for the elevator to arrive before stepping in. Seeing that the elevator was empty, you release a sigh of relief. You don't usually care if you share an elevator with anyone, but the feeling of riding an elevator by yourself is a nice sense of peace that you've always enjoyed. Seeing the doors start to close, you take your phone out and start to scroll through Instagram. Your focus being taken up by Instagram, you don't notice a hand stop the doors from closing. Confused why the elevator isn't moving, you look up and you are met with the face of one of SM Entertainment's biggest prizes and most important assets: Yu Ji-min aka Karina of Aespa, one of the 4th generation of Kpop It Girls. For a lot of people, honestly most people, this would be one of the greatest honors of their lives. Hell, most SM Entertainment employees would be overjoyed to share an elevator with Karina... but you were not one of those people. Well, to be fair, if it was you even a year ago, you would be thrilled (and anxious as hell) to have the honor of sharing the same air as Karina... but this was you today and unfortunately, sharing any space with Karina was not something you looked forward to. Was Karina rude or mean to you or anyone? No. Was she ungrateful or toxic to the employees of SM? No. Your problem with sharing an elevator with Karina was something you could never or would never tell another soul...

"Fancy meeting you here Y/N" Karina said with a smirk on her face.

Not wanting to attract any more of her attention, you start to scroll Instagram again, effectively ignoring her which of course earned an annoyed "Hmmmph" from Karina.

Seeing that her annoyance with you wasn't leading you to give her any of your attention, Karina decided to go with another tactic. Grabbing your phone out of your hand, Karina quickly deposited it in one of the backpockets of her jeans and shoved you against the walls of the elevator. Making sure to place herself directly in front of you, separating your legs so she could occupy the space between them.

"What the fuck Karina?" you say surprised.

Grabbing a fistful of your shirt, she responded "Don't ignore me next time" before capturing your lips in a searing kiss. After a few seconds, she finally releases you.

Looking around panicked, you say "What the hell! You can't just kiss me, especially not here".

"Relax Y/N, this elevator's cameras have been down for weeks".

"That's not the point Karina, we can't kiss while at SM"

Smirking again, she says "Oh just at SM?"

"No No No, I meant in general." you say while waving your hands in a panic which causes Karina to pout for a second before the seductive vixen inside of her takes over.

Inching even closer to you, Karina slowly starts to hump her clothed sex against your now hardening bulge.

Moving her lips until they were right next to your ear, she whispers "Don't worry baby, we don't need to kiss for you to breed me" causing your dick to come to full mast while you release a groan you were desperately trying to contain.

Seeing that she had gotten the response she wanted, Karina backed away from you, releasing her hold of your shirt; not before making sure to pat your chest and giving you a parting peck on the lips.

Hearing the ding of the elevator, Karina started to walk out of the elevator, but before she fully exited, she turned around and gave a coy wink saying "You might want to take care of that before other people see" with her eyes pointing to your very obvious bulge.

Breaking out of your stupor, take a few deep breaths, trying to calm yourself down, before running a hand over your face and releasing a quiet "Fuck".

Okay, backstory, you don't truly have no clue how it happened, but at some point within your first few weeks of working at SM Entertainment, Karina had decided that she was going to be your personal antagonist. You two had quote on quote "met" on your first day, coincidentally in this very same elevator. Because you didn't know any Korean, it had been a struggle to get past security, so when you finally did, you were a bit of a mess. Not thinking, you had thrown yourself into the first elevator you could find and clicked the button to the floor where you were supposed to be working on while trying to make yourself as presentable as possible, not realizing that there was someone else in the elevator. After a few seconds of getting yourself together, you had finally taken the time to take in your surroundings and when you turned around and saw that you were sharing an elevator with the Karina of Aespa, your jaw dropped. Realizing that you were staring at her, you had tried to mutter out a quick "annyeonghaseyo"; but instead it just came out as the most butchered, stutter filled "annyeonghaseyo" imaginable. Luckily, you had reached your floor, giving her a quick bow out of respect, you had dashed out the door as quickly as possible.

That was your first day at SM and somehow, also your first time meeting Karina; but what you didn't realize then but now realize, that was also the day Karina decided that it was her mission to cause you as much personal chaos as possible as some sort of sick joke.

The first few weeks, you somehow kept running into her and at first, she would give you a slight nod and quick smile in greeting, which still somehow caused you to stutter and act like an idiot which of course caused her to chuckle in amusement. But eventually, you got used to those quick interactions with her, so you were actually able to act like a normal human. From what you understand, most idols would love that someone had moved from acting like a starstruck fan to a normal human with them and from what you could tell, Karina loved that transition with other employees, but when it came to you, for some reason, the more normal you acted with her, the weirder the interactions between the two of you got. You remember when you first realized this. The two of you were sharing an elevator again and after exchanging quick pleasantries, you had gone on your phone to check emails. What you didn't notice though was that the second you had gone on your phone, Karina started to scowl. Seeing that your collar was a bit off, Karina reached out her hand and fixed it for you. Feeling her hand on your collar, you looked up from your phone and looked at her like a deer in headlights which elicited an amused laugh from her. After that first time of fixing your outfit, Karina had started to get bolder and bolder. She went from merely fixing your collar to fixing your tie then retying your tie even if it was perfectly fine, making sure to touch your chest as much as possible. You being the passive person you were as well as knowing your place in the company i.e. if you ever spoke up, you knew she had the power to get you fired in an instant, you kept allowing her to do as she pleased (and to be fully honest, you enjoyed the attention cause who wouldn't like that a beautiful women, no less a Kpop idol, was touching you). But of course, as you got more and more used to her touches, the less reactions you had to her and so the bolder she got.

You remember it like it was yesterday, the day that you called her out about her behavior for the first time. You had stayed late for a big deadline and had finally finished what you needed to submit. The rest of your team had left a few hours ago, but you knew you had to get your part done tonight so everyone else could do the rest of their parts tomorrow, so he had stayed even later. Exhausted, you had packed up your things and like a zombie entered the elevator, not realizing that someone else was in there as well. Opening your phone per usual, you had opened Tik Tok and started scrolling before hearing someone clear their throat. Turning around, you are met with an equally exhausted looking Yu Jimin. Giving her a slight nod in acknowledgement, you turn back to your phone; but before you can do anything, you feel your phone taken out of your hand. Turning around again, you see Karina looking at you with annoyance in her eyes and your hand in your phone. Holding your hand out, asking for your phone, Karina responded with a shake of her head.

Annoyed, you say "What do you want Karina?" which earned a scoff from her.

"Are you really going to be so rude to one of your company's stars?"

Not realizing what you were saying until it was too late, you say "Sorry, didn't realize that you were a needy brat" before raising your hand to your mouth, covering it before you could say anything else stupid.

Raising one of her eyebrows and letting a smirk come over her face, Karina replied "I'm sorry what? Did you just call me a fucking brat, Y/N?"

Dropping your hand from covering your mouth, you get on your knees apologizing "I'm so sorry, please don't get me fired" before realizing that she knew your name "Wait, you know my name?"

Realizing that she had made a mistake, Karina tried to backtrack "I mean whatever, I overheard someone call you it one time".

Hearing this you stand up and start to move closer to her, "Really, so you heard it one time and remembered it? Seems like someone thinks I'm special" you said while smirking.

Seeing that she was losing her position of power, Karina started to look around desperately, trying to figure a way out of this situation. Seeing her vulnerable, you inched closer and closer causing her to backup until her back was against the wall of the elevator. You could see her brain scrambling for a way to get control back which caused you to smile even wider... that is until you say her eyes stop panicking which caused your confidence to falter. The combination of an idea coming into her head as well as recognizing that you were losing your nerve even slightly, Karina saw her opportunity and took it. Grabbing your shirt, Karina pulled you closer before capturing your lips in a sweltering kiss, not releasing you until you were practically begging for oxygen. You stumbled backwards, after being caught off guard by her sudden action. Not wanting you to be able to regain any semblance of mental balance, Karina followed after you like a hunter going after their prey. Watching her advance, you kept back tracking until suddenly you were the one with their back against the wall. Walking towards you in almost slow motion, Karina kept coming closer and closer until the two of you were barely separated. Unable to move, your breath was stuck in your throat which of course she noticed.

"What happened to all your bravado Y/N? Did this brat break you with just a little kiss?"

The mention of the kiss that had just happened only a few seconds ago, your eyes subconsciously took a quick glance at the leader of Aespa's lips before returning to looking anywhere but at her; but unluckily for you, she noticed.

Grabbing your chin, Karina lifted your face to meet hers before capturing you in another kiss. Right when you started to kiss her back, she suddenly broke off the kiss. Looking at her confused, you were met with the smirk of a woman who had figured out just how to break you. Patting your cheek, she said "You're right, I am a brat; but unlucky for you, no one will ever believe you" before giving you a quick peck before continuing "Don't forget that this brat can get you fired with a snap of her fingers". Backing up and brushing the wrinkles out of her clothes, Karina walked out of the elevator like nothing happened, leaving you there, dazed.

Unfortunately or fortunately for you, while that was the first kiss you two shared, that was not nearly the last one. After that night, Karina started getting bolder and bolder. Whenever it was just the two of you in the elevator, she would corner you and either kiss you so hard that you forgot how to breathe or leave in you such anticipation that you started craving the feeling of her lips. Not only that, she started visiting your floor. You worked on the fourth floor which had no practice rooms, studios, or anything closely related to an idol's schedule; but after that night, you started seeing her walk past the area where your desk was located. At first it was once a week, then twice a week, until eventually it was daily. What was even worse was that all your team members would always point her out in awe and even if they didn't, it was like she had conditioned you to be constantly aware of her whenever she was in close proximity. You would notice her even if she was merely passing by. She started occupying your thoughts on a daily basis. She was slowly consuming your every thought. The days where you wouldn't run into her, you would start wondering where she was.

One day, you thought you had had enough. It was 7pm, you had stayed late again due to another big project you needed to get done and when you saw her pass by your area, you stood up suddenly and walked after her. She had no reason to be on your floor, let alone so late at night, so you decide that enough was enough and that you needed to tell her to kindly "fuck off" because you could not deal with her consuming your thoughts anymore; but you were so caught up in your thoughts, that you didn't notice that she had picked up on you following her. Seeing her turn a corner, you speed up to follow her and the second you turn the corner, you feel an arm tug you into a room before hearing the door slam shut. Taking in your surroundings, you see that the arm of the person who dragged you into this random room was none other than Yu Jimin's and that she had shoved you against the door that had just closed.

"Why are you" you start but before you can finish, you are silenced by Karina crashing her mouth against yours; but this time, you meet her fervor with your own, stunning her.

Feeling the shift in power, you flip the two of you so she was the one with the back against the door. Grabbing both of her wrists and pinning them against the door, you meet her face to face, saying "Why the fuck are you on the fourth floor at 7pm?" but instead of panicking, you see a smug look come over her face.

"Why do you ask Y/N? Does my presence annoy you? Or even worse, do you care a little too much that I'm here? Don't think I don't notice everyone saying 'OMG is that Karina? She's soo pretty' Does that rattle you?" she said in a mocking tone.

Unable to formulate a response, you just hold her there angry before your subconscious takes over and you begin to assault her with kisses, the two of you exchanging "I hate you"s between kisses. You aren't sure how long the two of you makeout before you finally separate, breathing heavily, you rest your forehead on hers.

"I hate how much space you occupy in my head" you say

"I hate how much I crave your attention" she retorts before giving you the softest kiss the two of you have ever shared.

The two of you never spoke about that night again but both had a mutual understanding that while you two weren't going to talk about it, you two couldn’t ignore it.

After that night, while your interactions didn't change much, the way you two interacted shifted slightly, there was less bite between the two of you.. but what replaced the bite was sexual energy... not on your end of course, Karina had decided that since she didn't care as much about annoying you into anger, she focused more on getting you as sexually frustrated as she could. She would grab your shirt, pull you close, hook her leg around you, and kiss your jaw while fixing your tie. If the elevator was crowded, she would make sure you were behind her and would rub her ass against your bulge. She would make sure you were as hard as possible then leave you hanging every single fucking time. She was sexy and she knew it. The world knew it; but all her fancams and even her waterbomb performance would only show a fraction of how sultry and provocative she could be. She decided that the only person who got to see how much of a cock tease she could be was you... and boy did you know.

The next few months proceeded like that, she would tease you but never give you a release.
