𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of its founding. It is a company that has been crowned world leader since its founding less than two years ago, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world's leading companies.
From food to fashion, electrical engineering, construction, automotive, semiconductor, and more recently, IT, the brand's products are used in virtually every corner of the globe, to the point where it's even joked that everyday life is impossible without them.
In particular, as a leader in the IT industry, when a new product is released, reservations are sold out even before its release, and its impact is so great that it can even paralyze the website. If you ask anyone passing by on the street to name the best company at the moment, six out of ten will point to it first, making it the undisputed best company.
_
hello.
I am the vice president of a company.
And I have a very unusual secretary.
My secretary is very meticulous and decisive.
Isn't that the best virtue for a secretary?
That should be moderate, too. To give you an idea of how bad it is, look at this.
"Secretary Han, who wrote this report? It's been a while since I've liked it."
"This is a report written by Team Leader Kim of the Technology and Information Department."
"Then, what about this?"
"That's a new product design plan written by Deputy Manager Jeong of the Design Department."
"Hmm? This is the content. Do you see what the problem is?"
"Yes. First of all, the spacing between the letters on the left side is out of standard. This part on page 5 is also not suitable as supplementary material."
"Good job. Please submit a request for revision and tell them that the rest has been paid."
"Yes, Vice President."
"Oh, Secretary Han. And... are you free this evening?"
"no."
"...Then how about we eat lunch together?"
"No. I have a prior engagement."
"You know it doesn't exist, so why would you come out like that?"
"yes."
"Do you hate eating with me even if it kills you?"
"yes."
"You're so decisive."
"I hear it often."
"Then how about we take a short break and then continue? I'll buy you some coffee."
"It's okay. I'm busy right now."
You don't know what the problem is?
Then take a look at this conversation.
"Excuse me, Manager Jang. Do you know that this data is incorrect?"
"Huh..? Where the hell?"
"First, page 1. Does this standard make sense? Don't you know how to write a report? Are you a deputy manager in name only? I wonder what happened to your title if you handled things this way. Second, here on page 3. You cited data from an unverified paper. Do you know? There's a meeting going on today where you'll be looking at this data, and what are we going to do if you don't check even one of these? If our company's important project is shaken by data that is just one person's guess without any concrete evidence, does that really make sense? Do I, who reports directly to the vice president, have to point out every single thing like this? You're a deputy manager, after all. You must have worked there for at least three years. Why did you make such a mistake? And here, page 7. What is the most important thing in architectural design? Innovative design? Or beautiful design? No. A building must be safe and stable, and therefore, architectural design must be precise without even the slightest error. In your eyes, team leader, this building, with its right column being 50m and its left column being 50.5m, can be built stably. "What are you thinking? Is this some kind of Leaning Tower of Pisa? It's not even a design element, and what are we going to do with the central pillar looking like this? Do you want to see an accident, everyone die, and it's all over the media? That would be quite something. [Filter Group, Dozens seriously injured due to numerical error during construction•••] What, is this the kind of article you want? There are three hours left until the Vice Chairman's next schedule. There are more things to fix, so fix them quickly while you have time. Before the Vice Chairman finds out, right now."
By the way, my secretary received that report exactly five minutes ago.
She was actually cute when I first started working here, but now she is my competent and well-matched secretary, but more than that, she is also firm.
_
hello.
I work as a secretary directly reporting to the vice president of a company.
And our vice president, whom I serve, is a huge perfectionist.
"Secretary Han, did you just write this as a report? They say even a dog can recite poetry after three years of studying at a local school. Shouldn't a person be able to do it after about three months? Are you kidding me, right now?"
"No, I'm sorry. I'll fix it."
The person who is getting angry right now, no, getting very angry, is our vice president.
He is a person who is prickly in everything and only pursues perfection.
So, are you saying that I did something incredibly wrong and that you are justifiably angry?
I made a mistake. The reason the Vice President is upset right now is precisely because of three errors: one typo, one attached photo that was 5mm off format, and one line break error.
Oh, and you've been yelling for exactly 15 minutes now. I think you plan on yelling for at least another 15 minutes.
Perhaps, if you weren't perfect, you'd be the kind of person who would have a thorn in your side, Vice President.
As the next president of a company, he is very good at managing himself and is very strict with himself, but he maintains a prickly attitude as if he is no exception to others.
And as I said before, I am this person's secretary.
I've never heard anyone say they lacked thoroughness in their work, but I remember the first three months or so I was really struggling at this company. Even then, I wasn't even a dedicated secretary. I was just the youngest employee in the secretarial office.
Oh, but I'm probably the only employee who has seen the other charms of this seemingly prickly, perfectionist boss.
Sometimes, you're really cute.
"Secretary Han, the golden hazelnut fell."
"I'll buy it today."
"Haa... I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind..."
"You can't get it right now, right? Who would have thought you'd eat that much all of a sudden? If you're in a hurry, should we go to the company cafe?"
"Ha, I thought there was still one more left. I usually buy them in advance. But Secretary Han, what nonsense are you talking about? Even though it's our company cafe, I can't bring myself to say anything about their Golden Hazelnut. I'm not interested in that nut drink that seems to contain less than 3% real hazelnuts."
"Then just endure it and get to work, Vice President."
"Secretary Han is too much. Huh! Huh!"
You see? It's not easy to see something like this.
Our Vice President, you're so cute sometimes. Well, I can't show you the details yet, but sometimes you're really sexy. So... if I were to make a comparison, you're like a prickly cat, and at other times, a pure and innocent puppy...?
Dog or cat..? No, isn't there a more rounded expression?
Ah, Kang Yang!
Yes, our vice president is usually grumpy but sometimes cute, he is a strong man.
_
"I think I warned you once last time. Have you already forgotten?"
Sometimes it's brutal,
"Good job. Then let's go on a date."
Sometimes sweet,
"I love you so much. You know that I love you so much."
"Of course. I really, really love you too."
Overflowing with pink love,
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑.
It starts now.

Park Jimin | 26
Vice Chairman of 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Group
If you ask what a perfectionist is, look up and see the Vice President of Filter Group. He is the next generation leader of Filter, a prickly Vice President who pursues perfection more than anyone else. He is prickly and pursues perfection in everything, so if you can last under him for even a month, you might already be a Bodhisattva. He is famous for not tolerating mistakes and not giving more than three chances. Even then, unless you are somewhat close to someone or are competent, he considers more than two chances a luxury, and he is the type of person who can only feel at ease if every little thing is perfect.
Ah, regardless of personality, thanks to his handsome appearance and seemingly gentle demeanor, anyone who wasn't a company employee would have considered a romance with this man at least once. However, it's surprising that Vice Chairman Park Ji-min hasn't had a single love interest in his 26 years of life. Perhaps the Vice Chairman who has a love interest might be different.
Vice Chairman Park Ji-min's love of golden hazelnuts is also well-known. He's a picky eater, so he considers only the golden hazelnuts sold at "Gold Twist," managed by a master chef, to be truly golden hazelnuts. He enjoys drinking the store's golden hazelnut powder, and hazelnut chocolate is also his favorite snack.

Han Yeo-ju | 26
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Group Vice President's Direct Secretary
This is Han Yeo-ju, a secretary working directly under the infamous perfectionist Vice Chairman of Filter for six years. She started out as the youngest member of the secretarial office, but her exceptional abilities were recognized and she rose to the position of secretary directly under the Vice Chairman within just one year. This marks her seventh year at the company. Rumors even circulated that she was a bodhisattva, or perhaps a flawless machine, never making mistakes. But what can we say? She's not a bodhisattva or a machine, but simply a human being, just like the Vice Chairman. Han Yeo-ju possesses a keen eye for detail and attention to detail, rivaling even the perfectionist Vice Chairman. However, she was severely flawed during her first three months. Of course, she now holds the title of youngest employee, the fastest-growing employee, and the most competent and meticulous secretary to the Vice Chairman of Filter.
Ah, the saying, "If the water upstream is clear, the water downstream will be clear too," perfectly aligns with the situation of the vice chairman and his secretary. Surprisingly, Secretary Han, too, has lived a life far removed from rosy romances for 26 years. While one might expect her unwavering determination to be a factor, I'll simply say that falling in love is a human trait.
She boasts the appearance of a typical cool beauty, as if you could smell the cool scent of mint if you came near her. She actually enjoys both mint and mint chocolate, and her favorite scent is said to be refreshing peppermint. It's even said that the air freshener in Secretary Han Yeo-ju's home and personal space, as well as the shampoo and body wash she uses, are also mint-scented.

Kim Seok-jin | 29
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Group Technology Research and Development Department Team Leader
All of Filter Group's IT technology begins here. The core of Filter Group's IT industry lies in its Technology Research and Development Department, or R&D for short. The highest-ranking figure in this department, leading it and working diligently, is none other than Seokjin. His exceptional insight, striking appearance, and friendly, courteous demeanor make him immensely popular within the company. Furthermore, Seokjin's demeanor, sometimes firm but always incredibly kind, seems to embody the ideal workplace boss, making him a role model and a haven for many employees.
As I mentioned earlier, he is usually very kind and polite, but once he gets angry, the gates of hell open in the R&D department. There is a saying that the scariest thing is when a good person gets angry. That is exactly right. Also, contrary to his image as a team leader who is upright, sharp, and kind to the outside world, he is known to be cheerful and playful to his close colleagues.
Seokjin's department, R&D, is particularly important because it serves as the foundation for significant sales among many other departments. Perhaps that's why it's the department that gets the most calls to the vice president's office, where it's often broken and rewarded, but the rewards are sweet. Perhaps aside from the secretary who works right next to the vice president, if you were to pick the employee who has the most one-on-one time with the vice president, it would undoubtedly be Kim Seokjin.

Min Yoongi | 28
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Group Human Resources Team Leader
Would you believe someone knows everyone working at Filter Group? It's easy to think it's absurd to know every single head office employee, not just a few dozen, but well over a hundred. No, it defies common sense. But here's one. Not only does he know every head office employee, he's also well-versed in everything from new hires and resignations to the hiring of experienced employees and vacations. The master of this unbelievable memorization is none other than the head of the Human Resources Department, Min Yoongi.
There's a saying that everything related to work, from hiring and dismissal to vacation management, passes through Team Leader Min Yoon-gi's hands at least once, and it's true. That fact, coupled with his exceptional memory, naturally leads to his accurate and quick work. It's important to keep in mind that there's a reason he became a team leader at such a young age.
Contrary to his always precise and meticulous demeanor at work, Yoon-gi is more listless outside of work hours and enjoys rest. Furthermore, despite his cold exterior and the cold, exacting nature he displays at work, he possesses a boundless affection and lovable personality towards those close to him.

Jeong Ho-seok | 27
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Group Planning Department Team Leader
There's a human vitamin in the Filter Group Planning Department. The Filter Group's hopeful figure, who boasts immense popularity for his uniquely bright and cheerful atmosphere and friendly speech! This refers to the Planning Department team leader, Hoseok. Hoseok, the team leader of the department in charge of conceptualizing new businesses for the Filter Group and establishing specific plans, is always kind and friendly, and is sometimes called the dream boss by employees in other departments who usually have difficult bosses. Of course, the employees in the Planning Department who have been working with him for years like Hoseok, but they strangely become solemn whenever they hear stories like this.
In fact, behind that hopeful and energetic personality lies a resolute determination and outstanding work ethic. It wasn't his exceptional abilities that he initially possessed, but rather his consistent efforts, which led to his neat and accurate documentation and meticulous calculations, resulting in flawless plans. This is how Hoseok was able to quickly rise through the ranks to become team leader. While Hoseok certainly possesses a cheerful energy that lifts anyone's spirits, once you realize the intense effort behind it all, you'll see him differently. He's a true hard-working genius, Team Leader Hoseok of the Planning Department.
Ah, just like Jimin's love for golden hazelnuts, Hoseok also has a favorite: sunflower seeds. He says that eating sunflower seeds gives him energy when he's stressed or exhausted from excessive work. He says that he likes them because of the nutty flavor and the unique texture of chewing on the seeds. Perhaps because of this, he was once nicknamed the "Hope Squirrel." He also likes the refreshing scent of grapefruit, which matches his bright and refreshing image, so he always has a grapefruit-scented diffuser and sunflower seeds at his desk.

Kim Namjoon | 27
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Group Legal Team Leader
Do you remember the young genius featured in a news article about ten years ago? It was about a 17-year-old boy with brilliant reasoning and eloquence who, while studying law—a field he was passionate about—helped police investigate and apprehend a criminal. The subject of that article was none other than Namjoon, currently a team leader at Filter Group's legal department.
In fact, even before the article was posted, Namjoon, who had been showing off his outstanding genius, had been receiving support from a foundation established by the current chairman of Filter Group. Thanks to this generous support, he was able to study law, which he enjoyed, and was able to enter and graduate from law school at the youngest age. As soon as he received his diploma, he was recruited as the head of the legal department at Filter Group.
Namjoon, fluent not only in law but also in languages, excels in all subjects, including math, science, and social studies, making him an indispensable figure in the filter. As a team leader at the Ministry of Justice, he also possesses exceptional leadership skills, and his young age belies his overwhelming genius. He's the epitome of a "mother's boy."

Kim Tae-hyung | 26
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Group Public Relations Department Team Leader
If you were to ask which department is busiest when a new product from Filter Group is released, employees from many departments would likely answer, but the busiest department by far would be the Public Relations Department. Prior to a new product launch, they send information to newspapers and media outlets, and afterward, they strive to increase sales. This indispensable department for any company is led by Taehyung. From new product launches to recruitment announcements and various articles related to the company's image, all materials related to Filter Group are released to the public through this department, through Taehyung's hands.
As it is a department that immediately connects with the public, who can be called consumers, its importance is also great. Taehyung, the team leader of the public relations department, is usually famous for his four-dimensional ideas and his signature square smile. Unlike his cute personality, Taehyung is said to be dazzlingly handsome, to the point of drawing admiration from those who see him, as he is focused on work.
Taehyung, who quickly rose to the position of team leader as his unique promotional methods with four-dimensional ideas led to successive achievements, received great responses from new employees even after becoming team leader due to his open attitude of reflecting opinions regardless of rank. Of course, there are rumors that he was scolded a lot in the beginning because of his four-dimensional ideas.

Jeon Jungkook | 25
𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 Youngest member of the group secretary team
The secretarial team, led by Secretary Han Yeo-ju, is a department known for its outstanding teamwork and remarkable execution. While their small, elite staff may be smaller than other departments, their accomplishments are undeniable. The secretarial team assists Vice President Park Ji-min with his efficient work, coordinates his schedule, and executes tasks in accordance with his schedule. The youngest member of this team is none other than Jung-kook.
As the youngest member of the secretarial team, Jungkook is the one who monopolizes the cuteness of the senior employees, and he monopolizes cuteness once again with his outstanding abilities. Like most youngest members of any department, he helps with basic tasks, but as the youngest member of the secretarial team, which has fewer employees than other departments, Jungkook also carries out his own tasks perfectly and professionally. He is also the only non-team leader employee who has received high praise from Secretary Han Yeo-joo, who is synonymous with meticulousness, and Vice Chairman Park Jimin, who is a perfectionist.
Jungkook is extremely sensitive to scents, preferring the scents of cool water and soap. He says that he always has a cool, yet subtle scent around him. Although he's the youngest, he's just as popular as the other team leaders in other departments, and he's nicknamed the "golden maknae" or "golden temple." This is the youngest member of the Filter Group secretary team, Jeon Jungkook.

Hello. I am the author who came with a new work, 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑.
If you've read the prologue all the way to the end, you might have thought, 'It's long for a prologue?' and you're right.
This is because the content is approximately 9,500 characters long, including spaces, excluding the dialogue I'm currently writing. (If you're curious about the exact character count, please refer to the notice board!)
(Yes, up to here it was a bit of a waste of time.)
Whenever I upload a new work, I always feel half excited and half worried.
Especially, I can't help but worry about 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑 because it is the work that I have conceived the fastest and the longest among all the works I have conceived so far.
I'm worried and nervous about whether people will enjoy reading it and whether I'm writing it well.
But since I've already started, I'll try my best to continue the series as much as I can😁
Finally, please note that all announcements will be made in my forum. There's currently an event going on, so please check back often! (Until June 4, 2021)
If you don't mind, please send me a message!
Thank you for reading🙇♀️
