ah...

여주

...

여주

then..

여주

What about the boss..?

남준

Oh, me?

남준

I...the pressure from society was too much.

남준

The reason is... I studied a bit, I'm in the top 5% in the world?

여주

Wow... Being a CEO at such a young age and being in the top 5% of the world... That's amazing.

남준

This is nothing special either. It has its own drawbacks.

남준

Even when I had a dream, I couldn't tell my parents. They just told me to become the CEO of a large corporation.

남준

So I just studied. Of course, I couldn't make friends.

남준

One day, I was not feeling well and my grades dropped a little.

남준

My father came home after drinking a lot that day.

남준

He suddenly came to me without me even knowing and kicked my stomach.

남준

I was really surprised. My father grabbed me by the collar and started beating me.

남준

I wanted to resist, I wanted to run away, but I didn't have the strength, physique, or stamina to do so.

남준

It was when I was a young student.

남준

It hurt so much while I was doing it.

남준

In the end, I couldn't resist and just took the beating, but when my father fell asleep from the alcohol, I ran out.

남준

That was... around 9 in the morning. I got hit early in the morning.

남준

I jumped out and ran without looking back.

남준

I ran to the city center, and as I was running, I bumped into the back of a person wearing a black jumper in the summer.

남준

He turned around and asked if I was okay. I guess I must have looked terrible at the time.

남준

Asking if I was okay... That's the first time I've heard that. My parents never worried about that.

남준

Eventually, tears burst from my swollen eyes.

남준

I just hugged him and cried. I was so grateful and sad.

남준

It's the first time I've ever heard such easy words...

남준

He must have been flustered, but he hugged me tightly. Then his shoulders started shaking. I noticed his shoulders were getting wet, so I thought, "He's crying too."

남준

I didn't know where it was or who this person was, but it was okay.

남준

Lady Yeoju, do you believe in fate?

남준

He was like destiny to me

남준

That person right now is... Chairman, Yoon Ki-hyung.

남준

Even though his face isn't shown much, he's a tsundere-like person and treats his employees very well.

남준

Yoon Ki-hyung is like destiny to me. I'm always grateful.

Namjoon laughed so hard his cheeks crinkled.

Now that I look at it, her smile is really pretty.

여주

..you are pretty

남준

yes?

여주

You're smiling, you're so pretty

남준

Ah..haha, the female lead is prettier than me. Thank you.

Namjoon had a pretty smile on his face again.
