Take responsibility, agent.
Episode 1: First day at work at V Company
"N-nice to meet you...! I'm Jung Yeo-joo!"
"Oh, a new employee! You brighten up the atmosphere in the sales department!"
"Yeoju, please sit over there. If you have any questions, please ask Assistant Kim."
"He has a scary face and a strange personality, but he's good at teaching."
After graduating from university, my first job was at V Company.
Because it was my first time, I decided to try harder and always have a smile on my face, and greeted everyone cheerfully.
There are no Showa-era bosses like those in TV dramas.
Everyone was kinder than I expected,
Feeling good, I turned on my computer and started tidying up my desk.
"Um... excuse me, Deputy."
"How do I do this...?"
I realize now that I'm pretty bad with machines.
I heard that the company has good employee benefits, so I studied hard and joined the company, but
I knew I was slower to understand than the people around me.
And just as the manager had said, the deputy was scary after all.
"Didn't you learn the basics before joining the company?"
"...S-sorry...?"
"You didn't join just because the benefits were good, right?"
"They've been pretty selective, so if you work like that you'll be fired."
"……very sorry…"
"Just remember this once. Drag this over here and it will merge."
"Also, this email. There's no need to write it all.
Who's going to read this long piece of writing?"
"……sorry…"
"That's enough about this, do that first.
I'll take care of this one."
Chief, I wasn't lying.
Although his face is godlike and handsome, his personality is extremely cold.
I know the basics, but there are things that no one knows, right?
Moreover, why would you suddenly start speaking casually on the first meeting?
"You" I'm a junior, but I'm also an employee.
I know he's a serious person, but the way he treats people is a 0. 0!!!
...But he's handsome, so I'll forgive him. And he's cool. Exactly my type...
"Hey, it's already lunchtime. Stop what you're doing and go eat."
"Oh, is it lunchtime already?"
"Here, use this."
"Huh? Your agent's card...?"
"Today was the first day and it was tough. Sorry for being so harsh.
The company will pay for your meal. And you can also grab a coffee."
"Oh, one for me too."
Hmm? Could this be a new kind of coffee chore...?
It's a bit tricky, but maybe he's not such a bad guy after all.
He glanced my way a few times while I was working.
Was it awkward?
When I looked closely, I noticed that his ears were slightly red, which was kind of cute.
As expected from Deputy Kim. ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )
"Yeoju, you were talking a lot with the agent earlier, right?"
"Uh... I think maybe he hates me now...lol."
"What? Seriously?"
"I just asked about computers,
"You can't even do something like this?"
"But in the end, my agent helped me with everything."
"Eh, that means... you really don't like it?"
"……picture?"
"Deputies hardly teach new recruits anything.
I think Yeoju is the only one who learned it."
"Plus, he's good at his job, good looking, and highly capable, you know?
Seize this chance!"
Huh...? The agent is talking about me...?
I have had zero romantic experience in 25 years.
When I hear a story like this, my imagination immediately goes wild.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Deputy Kim is...a truly wonderful person.
"Substitute! Coffee, hehe!"
"Oh, thank you."
"Anything else to order?"
"Can't you think and act?"
"Huh...?"
"If you're a new employee, try to learn the job first.
Why are you willing to do chores when no one has asked you to?"
"……sorry."
"It's okay, stop apologizing.
If there's nothing else, take this to the manager."
"Chief! Here are the documents!"
"Did a newbie do this?"
"Um, that's Kim-dai..."
"That was done by our new employee."
"Wow, that's pretty good for a first time."
"There's another guy like Kim Taehyung!"
"No, no, that's..."
"We have a new employee, how about we go for a drink today?"
"That's great, I can't do it without drinking!"
"Good job on your first day!"
"Th-Thank you!!"
At first I thought he was just a handsome guy with a bad personality, but the more I look at Kim Taehyung, the more I realize he's actually a really nice person on the inside.
