Tired and half asleep, Ken sat at his desk and daydreamed about going home again to play computer games. The annoying sound of an incoming message from one of his colleagues brought his attention back into the bleak office environment. He hated this office. Most of his co-workers were immature and shallow.
"We need a new laptop in the meeting room asap." Maya, the head of PR, had messaged him. Ken usually tried his best to avoid her in the office. She was noisy, arrogant, and always wanted to be the center of attention. Reluctantly, he searched for one of the leftover laptops and made his way to the meeting room.
The lights in the meeting room were switched off because Maya was presenting her weekly report to her team members Mia and Hana. As usual, all of them were completely overdressed with their fancy blouses, high-waisted office pants, and skirts. They sat around the large conference desk like models posing for a photoshoot. To him, they seemed to be putting more effort into their appearance than their work.
Mia was a very pretty but silent girl whose face was always hidden behind her thick glasses and bangs, while the new-hire Hana seemed to have very good chemistry with Maya, even though she looked much more serious and grounded with her strictly tied back hair and strong, defined eye brows.
"Finally, the geek has emerged from his cave." Maya teased him in a friendly but nonetheless mocking way. Her long black wavy hair looked like she just came from the hairdresser, and her make-up seemed to be getting more professional each day. Ken always wondered how she found the time to put so much effort into her appearance every morning.
"Hana has already been onboarded last week, and she still hasn't received her laptop from you. We need it right now." She said in an unnecessarily bossy tone, her lush, curved eyelashes agitating him with every blink.
"Yes, yes, I've got one here." Ken replied politely, trying to avoid confrontation.
He placed the laptop and charger onto the desk in front of Hana, who just silently sat there with her arms and legs crossed. Her white blouse was tucked into her long, tight skirt, showing off her slim waist.
"It also needs to be plugged in," Maya remarked condescendingly before diverting her attention back to her presentation. As continued to explain her performance graphs to Hana and Mia, Ken grabbed the charger with a sigh and quickly crawled under the desk to plug it in. The space below the desk was almost pitch black. Unable to see clearly, Ken carefully felt his way forward.
Suddenly he felt something bumping against his shoulder. Ken immediately moved away from it and stayed completely still, but then he felt it again.
"Did you lose your glasses under there?" He heard Maya's voice mocking him before casually resting her leg on his back.
Confused and nervous, Ken didn't dare to move. Unsure of how to react, he just silently stayed on all fours to support Maya's leg while the girls continued to discuss their targets and strategies. Without changing his position, he carefully reached for the plug and inserted the charger. Then he felt another foot tapping his shoulder.
"Are you done yet?" he heard Hana ask him impatiently. "What are you doing down there, you creep?"
"I think he fell asleep." Maya laughed, followed by someone whispering something he wasn't able to hear properly.
Embarrassed, Ken tried to slowly crawl back out from under the table, but Maya's leg held him in place. Then he felt a third foot stepping on his forearm while two other feet forcefully pushed into his left side. He heard the girls giggling as he finally tipped over to the side. Before he could push himself up again, he already felt four or five feet all over his body pinning him down. Someone's coarse pantyhose gently scratched against his cheek as one of the girls provocatively rubbed her feet against his face. Another foot was pushing his head down to the ground, seemingly locking him in place. He also felt two more feet resting on his belly.
"So what are we going to do in quarter 3?" he heard Hana ask in a serious tone as the girls casually continued their meeting while he was trapped under the desk.
Every time he tried to move, the feet pushed him back down onto the ground. Drowning in feet, Ken completely lost his orientation. His heart was racing, and he started to sweat. In his entire life, he had never touched a girl before, and now he had their feet all over his body. Ken felt shy, embarrassed, and trapped but also strangely aroused.
As their meeting seemed to reach its end, their feet slowly moved away from his body one after another. While the girls still discussed how to best allocate their resources, he slowly crawled out from under the desk. With fogged glasses and his hair completely messed up, he silently stood up and tucked his shirt back into his pants. The girls didn't pay any attention to him and acted as if nothing had happened.
