01. Who is the President of JM Group?
07:30 AM
Beep-beep--
나
"Ugh...I'm sleepy."
I'm a person who sleeps a lot, so I went to bed early last night, but waking up was still difficult.
But today was my first day at work, so I absolutely couldn't be late. So, I dragged my sleepy body and got ready to go to work.
The company I landed a job at was JM Group, Korea's most prestigious company. I was thrilled to be joining the company I'd dreamed of since college.
And since Kim Jun-myeon, the president of JM Group, was famous for being kind and handsome, he wasn't too anxious about the job I was given as his secretary.
But I didn't realize that was the beginning of my nightmare.
나
"Oh, hello!!"
변백현
"Are you, by any chance, Ms. Kim Yeo-ju?"
나
"Yes, can you tell me where my seat is?"
변백현
"Oh, you can sit here."
변백현
"Lady...and"
나
"yes?"
변백현
"Cheer up!! Fighting!"
It was senior Baekhyun who clenched his fists and took a fighting stance.
What is this ominous feeling?
dripping-
........
Knock knock--
나
'Huh? Is there no one here?'
나
"Baekhyun asked me to bring some documents to the CEO... I don't know."
나
"Excuse me..."
The president's office was spacious, had an open view, a large desk, a state-of-the-art computer, and the president himself.
김준면
"Ms. Na Yeo-ju, who just joined the company?"
The boss's voice was so affectionate that I answered brightly, not even realizing what I had done wrong.
나
"Yes!! Senior Byun Baekhyun told me to take this to the boss..."
김준면
"Who told you to come into the president's office like this?"
His voice was cold, as if he had never been affectionate.
김준면
"If you knock and there's no answer, you should wait a bit and then come in. Didn't Baekhyun even explain it to you?"
Now that I think about it, I vaguely remember the warning senior Baekhyun gave.
나
"Ah... I'm sorry, sir. I'll be more careful next time."
The boss just gestured for me to leave without answering.
나
'Wangssagaji'
I swallowed my curses and left the president's office.
Even after that, my suffering continued.
07:00 AM
I hate you~~~I'm going crazy~~
나
"Ah!! Who is it this morning!!"
나
"hello?"
김준면
"Oh, I suddenly have a schedule at 8 o'clock, so I need to be at the office by 7:50. Okay?"
나
"Huh?? There's a store over there.."
"Suddenly-"
This situation was basic.
나
"I brought the coffee you ordered, sir."
The boss took a sip of his coffee and then asked me with a distorted expression.
김준면
"Did you bring mix coffee?"
나
"Huh? There's only mixed coffee in the break room..."
김준면
"Do you have any thoughts or not? Don't you know that I only drink Americano at Starbucks? Do it again properly. No, this is not enough. Get out now."
As the weeks pass by since I started working, the workload is increasing.
나
"Oh... my arm is numb..."
It was so hard that I was lying down to rest for a moment.
Something warm touched my cheek.
나
"Baekhyun senior???"
I jumped up from my seat and greeted him.
나
"Ah!! Hello"
Senior Baekhyun was holding coffee in his hand. It must have been the coffee that touched my cheek.
변백현
"Hey~ Don't be so formal~ It must be hard between seniors and juniors, right? The boss's personality is just like that... But Yeoju stayed the longest. Everyone quit after about a week."
나
"Really?? Haha...."
나
'Should I just quit this damn company?'
변백현
"Do you have time this evening?"
나
"No, but why?"
변백현
"If it's okay, would you like to have dinner with me? I'll buy you something delicious."
나
"Oh, great!! See you later for dinner."
나
'I really go to work because of senior Baekhyun. How great would it be if senior Baekhyun were the CEO~'
Then the 'real' boss shattered my illusions.
김준면
"Secretary, come here for a moment."
나
"yes~"
dripping-
김준면
"Come in"
나
"Did you call the boss?"
김준면
"Oh, that's not the difference."
김준면
"Do you know how to get the girl I like to like me?"
나
"Wow, even a boss like me has someone he likes. That guy is really pitiful."
나
"In my opinion..."
"I think that if you subtly help that person when they're having a hard time, or say and do things that you like, and treat them kindly, they'll naturally start to like you."
It was an obvious answer. And besides, "affection" was a word that didn't suit the boss at all.
But for some reason, the boss had a satisfied smile on his face.
김준면
"Miss, stop working now and go home and rest."
나
"Huh?? It's only 2 o'clock. And you have an important meeting at 3 o'clock."
김준면
"It's okay. I've been using you too much lately, so I was going to give you a break. And..."
김준면
"You told me to be nice to the person you like, so I'm trying to be nice to you. Are you dissatisfied?"
나
'The person the boss likes'
나
'It was me???'
