A Beastly Boss (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
When she came to her senses, Seul Hee was straddling Eun Woo’s body.
‘Is a man’s body naturally like this? Can this really be the same species as me?’
His body felt incredibly firm and solid beneath her—so much so that she noticed the hardness of his torso even before the shock of falling over.
She once heard from the Manager during an idle chat long ago:
“Mr. Ok Eun Woo wakes up at 6 a.m., runs about 5 kilometers along the riverside path near his officetel, then returns home and does another 30 minutes of light weight training. Isn’t that insane?”
After finishing her hospital shift and crashing into bed, just opening her eyes in the morning felt exhausting. How could anyone possibly exercise at dawn—every single day, no less?
As someone with pitiful stamina, Seul Hee had never understood it—until now. Clearly, all that training paid off.
Beneath her palms, she could feel his broad chest. His chiseled abs pressed flush against her body, their definition unmistakable. Her delicate legs were drawn between his well-toned thighs.
Gulp.
She swallowed involuntarily, a shiver running down her spine.
How close their faces were—just a slight movement and the tip of her nose would brush against his jaw. Her gaze wavered. Eun Woo watched her, dazed and still.
“Are you hurt anywhere? From the fall?”
Meeting his eyes made her ears burn red instantly.
“No.”
“Your face is pale. You must be injured. Let me check.”
His composed face filled her entire field of vision.
“Oh!”
Eun Woo gently lifted her chin. Her lips parted unconsciously halfway. Unsure what to do, she widened her eyes and simply let him proceed.
He first checked her pupils for any issue, then carefully scanned her entire body—searching for wounds or bruises.
His fingers traced from behind her ear down her neck, then along her collarbone. Though entirely innocent in intent, his touch was thorough—as if examining Dol for injuries the last time.
His unintentional caress made her skin tingle and her cheeks flush; her toes curled in embarrassment.
“Haa…”
At Seul Hee’s sigh, Eun Woo’s brows furrowed.
“What’s wrong? Does something hurt?”
“No—it’s not pain. I just feel… strange.”
Eun Woo raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
“I’m nervous. You’re touching me all over.”
In the dim storage room, his expression shifted oddly at her words.
“Seul Hee, that remark…”
Just as he was about to continue, the door behind them burst open.
“Eun Woo! I’m here!”
Jin Ho appeared, shouting as he swung the door wide—and froze, staring blankly at Seul Hee straddling Eun Woo.
His awkward gaze darted repeatedly between them.
“Oh, Mom…”
Startled, Seul Hee instinctively pushed Eun Woo’s shoulders—pulling away from his lowered gaze just before her. Jin Ho took a step back at her sudden outburst.
“Uh… uh… Was I not supposed to come in?”
“…….”
An unbearable silence hung thick in the air. No one spoke.
“Earlier, that Eun Woo guy said he couldn’t get in because the door was locked, so I brought the key. Anyway, sorry for interrupting—whatever the reason. I’ll, uh—I’ll come back later.”
Jin Ho rattled off his excuse like a rapper on fast-forward, then slammed the door shut behind him. At his reaction, Seul Hee shot upright.
“Oh gosh, why’d he do that? It’s not like… we weren’t doing anything, right? Seriously—we weren’t doing anything at all!”
Her nervous laughter tumbled into incoherence, and Eun Woo narrowed his eyes.
“We weren’t doing anything. Yet.”
“…….”
“Not yet.”
Not yet? What did “not yet” even mean?
Before Seul Hee could fully process it, Eun Woo brushed off his hands and stood up.
“Are you really okay? You still look dazed.”
It wasn’t from falling—it was because of you.
She wanted to say it but only moved her lips, then simply nodded.
“I’m fine. But… um…”
Her anxiety was building. If she stepped out into the light now, her flushed face would be obvious to everyone.
She needed to go home—just briefly, to collect herself.
Seul Hee hurriedly continued,
“Mr. Ok, may I head home for today? I fell and got my clothes dirty anyway.”
“Go ahead. Today isn’t the only day.”
His words—clearly implying this wouldn’t end after just once or twice—made Seul Hee narrow her eyes.
Last Friday, she’d gone to Wonderful Land with Mr. Ok to visit the zoo.
Sea lions, penguins, dolphins—they’d practically walked through the entire zoo together. Shouldn’t she only be remembering how joyful and fun those animals were?
But reality was…
“Ugh…”
Seul Hee raised her hand. Her small, slender fingers gleamed under the fluorescent light.
“I’m going crazy.”
Again and again, she recalled the firm, solid muscles beneath her palms. His deep, dark eyes gazing into hers. And that low whisper by her ear:
“Seul Hee. Yoo Seul Hee.”
Eun Woo’s voice kept echoing in her mind. Maybe she should see a doctor—was she hallucinating?
She didn’t know how to face him now. She didn’t fully understand this feeling—but it was embarrassing and overwhelming.
“I must be losing it. He’s Mr. Ok, for heaven’s sake.”
Why am I so flustered? He’s that strict Mr. Ok!
Just as she tried to shake herself out of it, someone suddenly popped their head over her shoulder.
“What’s got you going crazy?”
“Oh!”
Startled by the sudden appearance, Seul Hee jumped. Had Mr. Ok heard her? She widened her eyes in panic—but luckily, the giggle behind her was unmistakably feminine.
“Why so jumpy?”
“Oh! Manager. You’re here?”
“Yep! Good morning, Seul Hee.”
The woman with her brown hair tied back was Mi Jin—the Manager responsible for accounting, PR, and reception across the entire hospital.
As soon as she greeted Seul Hee, she pulled out a hidden bag from behind her back and began crunching on brown pellets.
“You came in early today?”
“Yes—couldn’t sleep.”
“Oh dear! Didn’t sleep? Are you exhausted? Is it insomnia?”
“No, it’s just… I’m a bit unsettled.”
She almost added that, then bit her tongue and offered a small smile instead.
Ever since Seul Hee first joined the animal hospital, everyone—except the notoriously strict Mr. Ok—had treated her incredibly well. She’d worried that, aside from her uncle the Director and Eun Woo, all the staff being women might lead to cliques and power struggles—especially with lingering trauma from her previous workplace, which had also been mostly female.
But she’d been wrong.
Everyone had been so kind to her that it made enduring Mr. Ok’s long lectures almost bearable. Not wanting Mi Jin to worry if she mentioned feeling unsettled, Seul Hee shifted the topic to the bag in the Manager’s hand.
“What are you eating? Breakfast? Snacks? Cereal?”
The Manager showed her the bag.
‘Premium Organic Lamb Formula—For All Life Stages.’
With a dog pictured on the packaging, it was clearly pet food. Seul Hee’s voice shot up in pitch.
“You’re eating… pet food?”
The Manager nodded calmly.
“It’s tasty once you try it. Want some?”
Seul Hee stared blankly at the offered bag, then waved her hands.
“I—I already ate a big breakfast. I’m full!”
The Manager was a wonderful person—but definitely eccentric. Noticing Seul Hee’s shocked expression, Mi Jin giggled.
“People can eat pet food too, you know.”
True—companies wouldn’t feed animals anything unsafe for humans—but watching her munch on it so contentedly was oddly fascinating.
“Sometimes customers even ask, ‘What does this taste like?’ or ‘Do dogs really like it?’”
“Oh.”
“And I’ll say, ‘This one’s pretty bland, but the one over here has more umami—they tend to prefer it.’ Then they’re always surprised and ask, ‘How do you know all these flavors? Is it written somewhere?’ And that’s my counter-punch: ‘I taste everything myself before selling it.’”
“Wow. Really?”
Seul Hee hadn’t expected that.
That level of meticulousness was impressive. Come to think of it—if the Manager actually tasted the products herself, customers would absolutely trust her and buy on the spot.
“You’re amazing, Manager.”
“Amazing? Nah—I just learned from great people at Dolmae.”
“That’s right—Dolmae really does have wonderful people.”
Every day, Seul Hee found herself learning something new. Just as she marveled at this, the clinic door chimed.
Jingle.
At the sound, Chae Rin rushed out immediately.
“A patient’s already here?”
“But it’s not even 9 yet?”
A tall, burly man looked around, searching for someone.
It was Jin Ho—the veterinarian from Wonderful Land and Eun Woo’s friend. Seeing him, Chae Rin spoke up.
“We haven’t started consultations yet.”
Ah—he’s not a patient. Seul Hee stood to explain, then suddenly stopped.
No—she couldn’t let him know she was here.
It wasn’t that Jin Ho knowing she worked here was a problem—but what if he recognized her and mentioned their Friday visit with Eun Woo? Chae Rin and Mi Jin would surely wonder, “Why were the two of you alone at the zoo?” And then…
That would be the end.
She had to hide. Seul Hee began to rise, then immediately crouched low—flattening herself behind the counter so her face couldn’t be seen.
“We start at 9—could you come back a bit later?”
At Chae Rin’s words, Jin Ho, who had been stepping inside, halted. Surprised, he looked down at Chae Rin’s much shorter frame—then suddenly shook his head as if coming to his senses.
“Oh—uh, no, I’m not a patient.”
“Then…?”
“My friend Ok Eun Woo works here—I have something to pass on.”
Chae Rin’s face lit up with a smile.
“Oh! You’re Mr. Ok’s friend. Just a moment.”
Jin Ho stared at her face again, then nodded dazedly—as if under a spell. Chae Rin dashed inside and found Eun Woo, who was preparing in the examination room.
“Mr. Ok—there’s a visitor for you.”
Moments later, Eun Woo emerged.
“What do you want?”
Still crouched low, Seul Hee listened to their exchange.
“You dropped your wallet in the storage room at Wonderful Land on Friday night.”
You were there with Seul Hee.
What if he said that? If he gave details, she’d be exposed. Seul Hee was trapped—unable to leap out and stop Jin Ho, yet unable to just stay hidden and listen.
Then she heard a soft chuckle. Peeking up slightly, she saw Eun Woo smiling—he’d spotted her hiding behind the counter.
‘Don’t say it.’
Seul Hee shook her head desperately. Eun Woo reached out toward Jin Ho.
“Oh, right—so it was there all along. Thanks.”
“Uh… did your date go well? Seol—”
Was he going to say “Seul Hee”?
Before Jin Ho could finish, Eun Woo cut him off.
“Yeah, it went well.”
“Seol—”
“Yeah—the lady did too.”
Through Eun Woo’s ironclad defense, her name nearly slipped out—but somehow never did. Each time Jin Ho tried to say “Seul Hee,” Eun Woo deftly dodged it.
Eun Woo offered Jin Ho a polite, faint smile.
“Thanks for coming all this way.”
“Ah, I just popped by since it’s my day off. See you later—I’ll call.”
Waving, Jin Ho left the clinic. The instant he disappeared, the waiting room—previously silent as a tomb—exploded with noise. Chae Rin and Mi Jin’s eyes widened, and they whipped their heads toward Eun Woo.
“What’s this about? Mr. Ok—what’s going on?”
“Mr. Ok—did you go on a date? With a woman?”
At their noisy questions, he simply nodded.
“Yes.”
His blunt reply left their jaws dropped. They exchanged disbelieving glances.
“Seriously? You went on a date?”
This time, Eun Woo didn’t answer—he just tugged at the corner of his mouth. That silent confirmation sent them into even greater excitement.
“My goodness! Since Mr. Ok joined Dolmae, this is the first time I’ve heard about him dating! Didn’t you not even have a girlfriend all this time?”
“Right! Even when the Deputy Director tried setting you up, you refused!”
Surely he wouldn’t admit now that it was her he’d gone with—that would be disastrous. Thankfully, Eun Woo seemed to understand her panic perfectly and merely shrugged.
“Well… it happened.”
“So—you have a girlfriend now? Or just someone you like?”
“Hmm…”
He drew out the word, then nodded. Eun Woo glanced down at Seul Hee, who was still pressed against the counter—terrified of being discovered even though Jin Ho had already left.
After a brief silence, he lifted the corner of his lips.
“Yes. I have someone I like.”
He said something momentous—as if it were nothing at all.
