I'm just writing a erotica hockey romance novel for fun these days. But with an Asian twist (Asian League Ice Hockey or Russia's KHL)
Preview of my first erotica romance novel
-----------------------------
Korean woman falls in love with a Chinese-Canadian hockey player on Kunlun Red Star (KHL)
Shim Yeong-hee looked at her smartphone listlessly. It was 5.48pm on a Tuesday evening, and her boss was out on a work trip. Yeong-hee worked for a Korean electronics company in Moscow. At the age of 25, she was just into her third year at the company. A marketing graduate, she was dispatched to the Russian capital because she took a five week Russian course as a teenager - somehow the HR director thought her bare bones Russian would be a big enough asset for her to be sent abroad as an expat.
Yeong-hee’s Russian was actually pretty lackluster. Going into her fourth month in the frozen city of Moscow was chilling her both physically and mentally. Marketing department was a bore - the company she worked for was already extremely well-known in Russia, so there wasn’t really much else to expand. Her last boyfriend, an ex-Air Korea flight steward charmer with cheekbones of steel, left her more than a year ago. Yeong-hee looked at her thighs. She was wearing that tight K-pop mini-skirt and stockings - the kind that young Korean women all over Seoul brave even in wintry winter to show off their sexy thighs. She touched her mini-skirt, caressing that soft fabric of silk, and felt a jolt shoot up her spine.
There were six other people in the marketing department. Two stocky Russians, who she unfortunately couldn’t really communicate with, her boss, and three other South Koreans. Of the three other Korean nationals, two were women and the only one South Korean guy, Park Sung-yeop, was a bespectacled and unassuming man who spent his free time in bookstores across Moscow with his hot chocolate mug. Yeong-hee thought Park was a pretty good guy overall, but not spectacular in any fashion.
Her two female Korean colleagues, Cho Jeong-min and Kim Minji, were pretty fun to be with. They would hang out in Jeong-min’s apartment on weekdays to cook up some Korean delights, and weekends were for quick shopping jaunts in the most popular shopping malls in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Once, Kim Minji even took the threesome to an ice hockey match in Moscow, to the VTB Arena that was home to Dynamo Moscow of Russia’s KHL (Kontinental Hockey League). It was Yeong-hee’s first ever trip to an ice hockey game, and she enjoyed a dazzling performance there.
The strobe lights that projected a fantastic light show onto the white ice rink, the six-foot tall, hunky hockey players that careened across the ice at breakneck speeds, with the occasional testosterone-charged fistfight here and there, captivated Yeong-hee. Dynamo Moscow, a capital team, of course smashed their opponents that night, a team from Russia’s Far East.
But otherwise, her first four months in Russia was nothing to write home about. Between the unrelenting cold of Moscow during November, her uninspired, dry job, and the lack of interesting men she could talk to, she was getting real bored. Sometimes, the “ato!” from her KakaoTalk messaging app would ring with some meme pictures from her friends back in Incheon, Korea, or maybe a voice message from her doting mom, and they were comforting reminders of home. But, deep down, she wondered if her career path was entering no man’s land.
