Work Text:
Kim Soleum thought he was fairly aware of what would happen at his place of work in advance all the time. Which is why it was such a shock when after he was clocked in and entered the office all of D squad was showcasing their core muscles. The Squad Leader was seated at his office desk shirtless. Wearing only chest suspenders for his top, his shirtless was an anatomical beauty of muscle, if it wasn't for the scaly lizard head from the neck up, the muscles would be much more appreciated by Kim Soleum.
‘Can men's chests even get that big, even Kim Soleum didn't know’
Eun Haje was lounging on the office sofa smoking a cigarette, with a hand towel hanging off the back or her neck. Drops of sweat slide down the lean muscles on her arms. It seemed as if she had just gotten back from a run. She was sitting with a stylish sports bra. Lean abs defined her stomach. Giving a sense of badassery to the nonchalant supervisor lounging in what should've been a strict office dress code.
‘Is she even allowed to smoke inside the office’
“Oh, Roe Deer”
A cheery voice sounded from behind him, Park Minseong who had just entered the office was also shirtless, broad shoulders and defined muscular abs. He seemed to match just right in with Eun Haje and Lee Jaheon as muscular D squad members. Kim Soleum also had quite a bit of muscle but he began to feel a bit self conscious seeing the full course ab display from his coworkers. It made sense that the longer time employees had such physiques considering the kind of work they had to do.
‘Wait no, somethings weird’
“Why is everyone shirtless”
“Well why aren't you,did you not get the event announcement?”
Eun Haje said briskly in a teasing manner as she and Park Minseong put their muscular arms over his shoulders. Was there an event? Kim Soleum was sure he knew that today was supposed to be an ordinary day and he was not informed of such a sudden change.
“There's an event?”
“Yeah, it's Abs day in the company, after a vote the person who was nominated the best gets a bonus”
Park Minseong explained briskly. In the distance Kim Soleum could see Lee Jaheon suddenly stand up and walk out of sight. He was absolutely stunned
‘Did his boobs just jiggle?’
Kim Soleum brushed the image of seeing his coworkers' milk cannons bounce and the growing blush on the badger's ears who also saw the site.
Later~
Kim Soleum who was eating in the work cafeteria was stunned for the first time at the sea of defined muscles. Scarred war torn ab beauty, pale lean abs which seemed to have never seen sunlight, and sun kissed natural muscle, the sea of anatomical beauty did not discriminate against gender as men and women participated in the event. Of course, there were also many people who wore their usual attire and did not participate in the event, but it seemed as if 80% of baekilmong co was shooting to win that competition bonus.
To escape the jewel sea of sculpted beauty, Kim Soleum fled to the basement to see the Security Sergeant of basement 3.
‘No way the security team is participating in the event!’
And Kim Soleum was indeed right, the security team was not participating in the event. Most of the team at least, when he found j3 he nearly dropped the donut boxes in his hands. Sitting in the chair of the guard office j3 was shirtless. The muscle was unlike those of everyone upstairs. J3 was very slender, with fine muscular lines separating sectional or his stomach. A contaminating alluring beauty, his skin a stark pale from years of not seeing being in the sun, it was a miracle he somehow kept muscle with how sedentary he was. The rest was a blur for Kim Soleum, he can only faintly recall giving J3 the donuts and leaving the basement in a daze.

No matter where he ventured in the company, there was pure ab beauty in every department he looked, the only squad fully not participating in the event was A squad as they were super serious and already got paid more than enough for all they did. Even Lee Seonghae proudly walked around in a near matching sports bra to Eun Haje, showing beautiful muscles that fought against the muscles of evil.
The work day felt long and neverending to Kim Soleum. His vision harassed by abs all day. Furthermore, when he tried to escape by distracting himself on his phone, he got a strange thirst trap type photo of lean abs. He pushed the defining evidence of the suspect of the photo into the back of his mind. The only huge detail is of a peaking neck scar on the picture of a man lifting his shirt up with one hand showing his sweat dripping abs. The picture felt so perverted he did not want to tie the unknown number with one of his favorite DER characters.
The entire commute the beauty of abs engrained in his mind. Actually, after reflecting of the day at work, Braun was silent since he entered the office. He didn't want to admit that he missed talking to his darkness friend.
Kim Soleum opened the dorm door and wanted to scream at the sight of Baek Saheon barely just putting a top on after coming home from work. It was obvious that he was also participating that day. He was certain if he confronted him about it, he would just say it was for getting better items. Seeing the scary expression on his psycho roommate's face, Baek Saheon hurriedly fled to his room.
Finally resting after the… impactful day, Kim Soleum slept. Perhaps the day affected him too much as he even had an odd dream of Braun showcasing his abs and absolutely massive chest.
