His perfect way to break up
The Perfect Breakup _ Joohyun


Actually, I've been told I'm pretty since I was little.

The specs that supported that praise to some extent were my shield.

My weapon, which was still rusty after sorting out the messy relationships at university, was

It was a face.

There was no problem in living, and appearance was an appropriate alternative to make even that problem disappear.

Except for those people who say that social life is like that.

College life was okay until the beginning, it was okay.

-You should get an A, Joohyun. Just,

Stay still.

This happened just before graduation.

I hated the way his hands groped, and even the breath on my shoulder was horrible, so I tried to shake it off, but-

"Don't you think those people are really scary? Why? People who claim to have been sexually assaulted."



배 주현
'Hey- what's so scary about that? If I were you, I'd hit you and run away.'

'..Will that work?'

It wasn't that easy.

My body didn't move. All my attention was focused on the fingers that were about to descend, and just as my contempt for the aging professor was reaching its peak, the door suddenly opened, telling me I had to submit my assignment. I felt like I was finally alive.

I wasn't brave.

If you want to be precise,


My mental state was weak.

All my work got plus points for my face.

Maybe there was a time when I was so lazy that I ignored the negative elements.

I couldn't go out for a while. Not because of the aftereffects,

Depression and self-loathing consumed me.

I took a year off from college. The professor was still working normally, and I was desperately trying to hide and escape. Left in a corner, I cried until I could barely breathe, then took medication. Tranquilizers. That's how I lived.

He was a foolish being.

After graduating from the difficult university and completing my internship, I met many different people at the new job I joined.

And among them, I hear,

'There's Mr. Kim, Mr. Kim-'


배 주현
'..Mr. Kim?'

'Oh, Joohyun, you don't know.'

'Why? Because there's someone in another department who has good performance, is capable, and has a generous personality.'

"I heard that it was Manager Kim who stabbed the head of another department this time?"

"That's right. He was famous for sexually harassing female employees, but everyone kept quiet about it. Now, you're going to change that by putting up posters and protesting."

'Manager Kim is the hero of this company-'

rumors about someone,

'Defeat that bad guy.'

Rumors about other people than me.

The legend everyone calls a hero,

He is my future role model and a really cool guy.


That kind of person.


강 의건
"..Promotion. I'll make promotion a condition. I'll promote you to an overseas posting."


배 주현
'..Then, Manager Kim.'

I just hope he doesn't get sick. Working with Manager Kim, I've felt he's truly a hero. A leader who works for everyone.

What the company wants and what the world wants.

And that person's world,

I just hope that person doesn't get sick.

My hero has always been and always will be the one who suffers.

I finally took that hand.


..I hope that hero, my role model, hates me.

I drank like crazy at a company dinner party, but I didn't get drunk, so I just drank soju and sat down next to Manager Kim, still tipsy.

You look at me with cold eyes, sir. Of course you look at me with distaste.

It seems that even the foolishly kind and just agent hates me.


배 주현
"You were my role model-"

I don't know what you're muttering about, sir.

just,

just.

I just wanted to be like you.

I just wish people like you could suffer a little less.

Oh right. And,

Your person.

I hope you don't get sick - I hope so, more than I do.


배 주현
"Don't hate me too much.."

I've been in the swamp of depression for so long that I've become so dark that I don't care if you feed off my darkness.

I'm confident I can eat all your grudges, so please stay bright, my role model.


My, shining beautifully.

Object of admiration.
