Butterfly Girl
10. Actually, I'm scared




변백현
Wake up, Princess

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was startled to see Byun Baekhyun staring at me, so I almost fell off the bed.

They boasted that it was a bed made by a famous craftsman, but it's ridiculously high.

나
What's with the princess? It's not like this is fanfiction.



변백현
My princess is so pretty even without makeup that I'm scared someone might steal her away.

Hearing sweet words since morning makes me feel very excited.

I finished getting ready and got into Byun Baekhyun's car, and oh my god—

나
This is my first time riding in a Ferrari. It's fascinating.

So this is what the inside of a Ferrari looks like. Byun Baekhyun must have dozens of cars like this, right?


변백현
Just say the word. I'm the president of H Group, no less.

Various expensive car keys, which I had only seen in photos, jingle and make a cheerful sound.

나
But you know what? Should we keep our relationship a secret for now?

Byun Baekhyun seems to be deep in thought about something, then smiles again and speaks.


변백현
Let's reveal that slowly. This guy's popularity is sky-high, so if we reveal it right away, we'll be in big trouble.

나
We're going to eat together, right?


변백현
Of course. Besides, everyone in the department is a guy, so I'm definitely going to eat with them.

While chatting about this and that, we arrived at the office before we knew it.

나
I'll go up first. See you later.


변백현
Yeah, I'll miss you later.

Then, he hands over a butterfly drink again.

나
I'm really curious about this. What on earth is it?



변백현
The beverage is an unreleased product scheduled for release, and I drew all of these butterflies.


변백현
Whenever I think of you, butterflies keep coming to mind.

Byun Baekhyun is so cute as he speaks with a blushing face, so I give him a short kiss on the cheek and say.

나
Thank you always.


변백현
I'm the one who's grateful. I love you.

As soon as I arrived, Deputy Manager Kim Jun-myeon gave me a gift.

The terrible gift of writing a proposal, ha

He was promoted recently and moved out of the manager position, but since then, he has been making me work my fingers to the bone.

나
Um... Deputy Manager Kim Jun-myeon?


김준면
Ah, have you finished writing?

He took the proposal I was holding, quickly scanned it, and then immediately frowned.



김준면
Here, make the flow of the content on the 3rd line smoother, and there is a spelling mistake in this part on the 8th line.


김준면
It has been well over a month since you joined, [Name]. You are no longer a new employee.



김준면
Aren't the points raised today things I've been pointing out all along?


김준면
Deputy Kim Jong-in will be unable to come in for a month, so the person who will effectively have to take his place is Mr. OO.

That's right. Deputy Director Kim Jong-in said he couldn't come due to a sudden matter...


김준면
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Please don't blame me for always nagging, and let's work hard.

I almost came to hate Manager Kim Jun-myeon because of the nagging I hear every day, but that smile radiating handsomeness always calms me down.

나
Yes, I will do my best.

01:00 PM
Completely drained by the insane workload, I sat listlessly and looked at the clock; fortunately, it was lunchtime.


김민석
Everyone, I’m planning to treat you to lunch today to celebrate becoming the department head. Is that okay with you?

Manager Kim Min-seok, our department's self-proclaimed fairy, energetically announces lunchtime again today.



김민석
How is it, OO?

나
Ah, I'm not feeling very well today...


김민석
Okay then. Take a rest.

After the people in the department left, I dragged my exhausted body to my feet—


김준면
OO. Are you having a hard time?

나
Ah... no, Deputy General.


김준면
OO, if you're having a hard time, always have black tea.

Suddenly, Deputy General Manager Kim Jun-myeon pauses, then opens his mouth again.


김준면
Oh, no. Get some good rest and I'll see you later.

Black tea... come to think of it, Assistant Manager Kim Jong-in gave me black tea last time too.

The contents inside this butterfly drink also taste like black tea.

Suddenly, overwhelmed by a throbbing pain, I clutch my head and slump into my seat.


변백현
You're hungry, aren't you, my OO?

I was surprised by Byun Baekhyun suddenly appearing from behind, not knowing when he had arrived.


변백현
Let's hurry. I'm hungry too.



변백현
yes.

나
why?


변백현
What's wrong? Why are you so drained?

나
Ah, just... I'm not feeling well..


변백현
Here, please give me a cup of black tea.

Black tea, it's black tea again.

나
Why black tea?


변백현
Hmm, just?

Hiding my throbbing headache at Byun Baekhyun, who smiles lightly as if nothing is wrong, I smile back.

With a headache that persisted even after lunch, I eventually left work early and came to Byun Baekhyun's house.

I sat on the sofa without even changing my clothes.

Whenever I hear the word black tea, I get a headache.

Just then, someone enters with the sound of a password being entered.

나
N, who are you?

김종아
I am the owner of this house's fiancée. Who are you?

김종아
Get out of this house quickly.

The woman claiming to be Byun Baekhyun's fiancée stares intently at me and flinches.

김종아
Ah, so this is that black tea?

나
Excuse me, I'm not feeling well right now, so I don't have the strength to deal with anyone.

김종아
yes.

I flinch and look at the woman, wondering how she knows my name.

김종아
Seeing that you don't know me, I'm sure of it. I'm Kim Jong-ah, the second granddaughter of the Chairman of J Group.

나
A, so what?

김종아
You really can't remember? That's fascinating.

A woman named Kim Jong-ah speaks to me again, letting out an unpleasant laugh.

김종아
The position you are coveting right now is a scary one.

김종아
This world is much harsher and more reckless than you think.

나
You must think I wasn't prepared for that, but I'm not that easy to deal with.

김종아
I guess so. Then again, I suppose.

Kim Jong-ah mutters as she walks toward the door, as if about to leave.

김종아
Good luck, [Name]?

As soon as she leaves, her legs give way and she collapses with a thud.

I'm not scared. I hypnotize myself, but actually,

나
.. scared .
