My company president and my childhood friend have the same name!
[EP.03 Let's start a full-fledged romance, characters!]


Bam bang-!

At the loud honking of the horn, Chaerin instinctively looked towards the direction of the horn.

Then, there was a foreign car that looked expensive at first glance, and the person inside it,

Kim Jae-hwan rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and spoke.


김재환(사장님)
Hey, is that stalker new employee there?


김재환(사장님)
Should I take my car now? If I don't take it now, I'll be late.

Chaerin's stomach was full, but there was nothing she could do.

If Jaehwan uses his personal car, he can barely make it to work on time, but if he uses public transportation, he will miss out on getting there on time.


김재환(사장님)
Don't you like it?

Jaehwan asked with a mischievous smile, but Chaerin smiled three times and answered.


김채린
Hey, what are you talking about, boss? Thank you for giving me a ride~

As he said this, Jaehwan patted the passenger seat with his hand as if telling Chaerin to get in as she was trying to open the back door.


김채린
'What the hell.'

And Chaerin's expression was rapidly hardening.

It was truly a day of no luck from the morning.

Percussion-

Chaerin, who barely made it to the office a little later, left a word of thanks and ran up to the department office.

And as soon as Chaerin ran into the company, the secretary called Jaehwan and asked.


비서
Boss! Where did you suddenly disappear without saying anything?


비서
It's already been twenty-five minutes.


비서
Mr. President, I know you're under a lot of pressure these days, but this sudden departure is unacceptable. You should also consider the company. This is the company you founded.

Despite the secretary's barrage of complaints, Jaehwan responded with a bright smile, as if he was enjoying something.


김재환(사장님)
Haha, don't worry. I'm right in front of the company.

After saying this, Jaehwan hung up the phone and walked lightly to the president's office.

Two minutes before work time.

Chaerin opened the door to her office precariously and came in.

And Chaerin, who was excited in many ways, greeted everyone in a bright voice.


김채린
Hello everyone! Have a nice weekend!

But, oh, I made a mistake.


박우진
Hahaha, I guess it's still the weekend, Chaerin ㅋㅋ

Chaerin, who finally realized her mistake after hearing Woojin's words, bit her small, plump lower lip, which was stained red with her upper teeth, with a flustered expression.


김채린
Ah... that... um...

Woojin smiled again at Chaerin's flustered appearance and said.


박우진
Haha, just kidding. It's work time, so sit down and start working. Haha.

Chaerin answered Woojin's words, clutching her shoulder bag tightly.


김채린
yes!!!

Break time

The break room is unusually noisy today.


김채린
'Why is it so noisy today? What's going on?'

As Chaerin took a sip of coffee and looked outside through the large glass window, Hyewon sat down next to Chaerin, making a fuss.


서혜원
Oh my, oh my! Chaerin, did you hear that?

Chaerin opened her eyes wide and asked at Hyewon's fuss.


김채린
which?


서혜원
No, well, I mean, there's a new managing director who recently transferred here. Oh my goodness. He has the same name as our CEO, and they look exactly alike!


서혜원
So, what did our boss look like before he started dieting?

At that moment, Chaerin put the coffee she was drinking on the desk and ran out into the hallway.


김채린
'Kim Jae-hwan, it's definitely that guy...?!'

The hallway that Chaerin ran into was filled with many female employees.

And at the center of the conversation, Jaehwan stood with a calm expression.


김재환(소꿉친구)
'Oh my, where is Kim Chae-rin?'

And now Jaehwan was very sad.

Among all these female employees, why is Kim Chae-rin not there?

As Jaehwan looked around, he noticed Chaerin, who had just come out of the break room.


김재환(소꿉친구)
Huh..? Kim Chae-rin!

Chaerin, smiling brightly like a lower grader, completely ignored Jaehwan, who called her name, and hurriedly went into her office.

bang-!

Chaerin quickly sat down and covered her face, her heart pounding rapidly.


김채린
'I'm screwed, I'm screwed..! I'm in the same company as Kim Jae-hwan..!'

Of course, it was true that at first he was happy and ran out into the hallway.

But, when I thought about it, there were a lot of annoying things.


김채린
'Kim Jae-hwan has been popular since he was young, so just being around him makes me uncomfortable.'


김채린
'Also, he's so overprotective that it's annoying.'


김채린
'More than anything, I just don't want to get involved...! I feel uneasy for some reason...!'

After thinking about her worries, Chaerin sighed deeply and slumped down on the desk.

At that moment, her boss's call came out whenever she forgot.

Tiring ringing-

I heard that lucky man's voice on the other end of the phone that I picked up without thinking.


김재환(사장님)
Hey, Mr. Stalker. Let me see.

Chaerin wanted to refuse strongly, but she was in no position to do so, so she answered in a weak voice.


김채린
Yes... yes... I'll go to the president's office...

Click-

The way she puts down the phone looks even more powerless today.


김채린
'Haa, Kim Chae-rin sold out her country in her past life...'

And Chaerin headed to the president's office with weak steps.

In front of the president's office.

Someone wrapped an arm around Chaerin's shoulder.


김채린
...!


김재환(소꿉친구)
Hahaha, surprised?

His smile is especially bright today.

Chaerin is really having a hard time.

Meanwhile, our lucky CEO finally opened the door to his office and came out into the hallway.


김재환(사장님)
No, why is this stalker guy so late? Is he dating or something?

It had been less than three minutes since he had called Chae-rin, but strangely enough, time was passing so slowly that Jae-hwan, unable to overcome his frustration, came out of the president's office.


김재환(사장님)
'I wonder where the new chick stalker is now.'

As Jaehwan was looking around the hallway, he saw Chaerin walking down the hallway, laughing as if she was having fun.

And next to it,

The man I saw yesterday..?!

When Jaehwan saw the man's hand resting on Chaerin's shoulder, strangely, strength entered Jaehwan's hand.

And Jaehwan walked towards Chaerin with brisk steps.

Ttukbuk-

Ttukbuk-

Ttukbuk-

When Chaerin heard the sound of footsteps coming from somewhere, she looked up and saw her nemesis, Kim Jaehwan, walking towards her.


김채린
'Damn it. We were just chatting for once.'

In Chaerin's mind, feeling uneasy, a superstition she had heard from her grandmother suddenly came to mind.

That's right, the superstition about 'doppelgangers'..!!!

And Chaerin, who remembered that superstition, hurriedly covered Jaehwan's eyes with her small hands and shouted at her boss.


김채린
D..If doppelgangers meet each other, they die!!!!!!

마시멜로우
Chaerin, don't die. I won't kill you (mhuhu)
