Your Majesty, I love you.
[Dong-woong] Company stuff, Secretary X Chairman
김동현
Haha, I'm nervous. Is this my first company?
It was the first company I joined after graduating from college. It was naturally difficult to get into such a large company, and I studied harder than others to pass the interview.
김동현
Personal Secretary... ... Well, I'm nervous about going first to see the Chairman.
김동현
Donghyun, don't be nervous and do your best! You're someone I'll be seeing more of in the future.
I was about to go in with such a strong spirit. Oh, but I arrived a few hours before work hours. There was no need to rush in, so I turned back to buy a drink on the way.
김동현
You've been struggling since day one. I've had a really hard time too.
I stopped by a cafe next to my office, ordered a drink, and sat on a bench to wait. I was just staring blankly when a man in a nice suit suddenly sat down next to me. What's this guy? Is he from the same company? Should I say hello or not?
I remembered the saying, "In life, when you're undecided, it's better not to do something," so I just fiddled with my phone. After a few minutes of that, someone next to me stared intently at me.
김동현
Why… why are you looking at me? Do you come here?
I asked, flustered, feeling like it wouldn't work, but all I got in return was laughter. What the... He really seemed like a strange person. As I tried to leave, he grabbed my wrist.
김동현
Why… Are you the chairman or something? I have to go—
전 웅
Yeah, I'm the president here. Are you new here?
김동현
… Yes? Master?
In that moment, I knew I was screwed. Yeah, Kim Dong-hyun, you looked like you were going to get fired from day one. I was even more flustered than before, so I couldn't say anything. As I stood frozen in place, the chairman spoke to me.
전 웅
It's okay, you might not know. But let's do better from now on, okay?
Everything seemed perfect, except for the words, "Let's do better from now on." It seemed like I wouldn't be able to last long at the company. When the chairman left, I smiled in despair and wept inwardly.
김동현
… This is Kim Dong-hyun. I look forward to working with you in the future.
전 웅
Yeah, did you enjoy your coffee earlier? I'll buy you one too.
김동현
Ahaha… Sorry. I was afraid you might not like it…
김동현
‘Why are you doing this to me when you have more money…’
Anyway, from the beginning, I had a feeling this chairman would be a very difficult person. Perhaps it was because I'd heard he was very meticulous and scary at such a young age.
전 웅
Oh, and give me your phone for a second.
김동현
Can I give you my phone number?
전 웅
Oh, I see. You got it right the first time. The others thought I was crazy. I guess I picked a good person this time.
김동현
Please don't just cut it…
I muttered to myself, feeling like I was going to cry. I hate this place. I'm not happy about getting a job or anything.
Later, when I picked up the phone again, I saw the name saved in my phonebook and almost fell backwards. It wasn't even the chairman's name. Do you know what was written there?
김동현
…Woong, who will be with me for the rest of my life.
전 웅
We've decided to do well from now on, and you're the one who should be by my side. And don't forget that I like you, right?
김동현
I'm sorry, but it's impossible to be together forever-
전 웅
Could you please tell me the meeting time this time? I have a lot on my schedule, so I'm a bit confused.
김동현
…..
Oh, I want to quit. I put on a smile, but my heart is completely different. Just thinking about what I'll be doing for the next few years is terrifying.
김동현
Then please call me when you need me…
전 웅
Yeah, just stay here. I need to see Donghyun's face a lot!
Shit. This isn't right, really!! I found out that it was true that the chairman was a bit strange. Phew, what can I do? They said they'd pay me a lot.
전 웅
Let's go somewhere nice together later! Can you come with me?
김동현
I have a girlfriend. She hates this kind of thing.
전 웅
I know you don't have one. I know all about your social media accounts.
김동현
… Oh really…!! J, I’ll just go to work.
For now, I just thought I'd hold on and endure it for a while. But in the future, Dong-hyun would have told me to run away. Obviously.
전 웅
Oh, don't doubt me! I couldn't say much about important matters earlier, you know that, right?
김동현
Yes, please tell me.
I could tell he'd called me to tell me something strange. But this time, I was wrong. He spoke with a truly serious expression.
전 웅
It must be hard for you since it's your first time, but you have an important appointment scheduled this time.
I thought, "We're finally starting to make some sense." We talked about work for a while, and as we were nearing the end, a woman approached me.
“Excuse me, could you give me your number? I like you.”
I thought he was another weirdo, but he turned out to be exactly my ideal type: long black hair, clear eyes, a voice, and a decent height. Wow, crazy. Is he going solo this time?
김동현
Oh, of course…
전 웅
Are you dating that guy?
What the hell is this…? I was so shocked I almost screamed. But then I ended up believing it again, so I laughed awkwardly and ran away. Is this guy really crazy?
김동현
No, what the hell am I doing? Am I dating the chairman? Yes?
전 웅
We're going to start dating soon, is that really a problem?
김동현
Huh... I really don't like the chairman. This is our first meeting.
전 웅
I… don’t like you…?
Just a moment ago, he was smiling brightly, but at the single word "dislike," his expression became grave. Then, he abruptly sat up and looked at me.
전 웅
Okay, okay! If you hate it that much, then don't look at me.
And the words I muttered to myself as I was leaving with my bag in one hand.
전 웅
I'm just doing this because I like you...
김동현
Seriously, what am I supposed to do? Are you going to get fired from the first day? What if I go tomorrow and tell you I'm fired...
김동현
Rather, I wonder if it's because I keep getting angry and it's really hurting me. Ah, Kim Dong-hyun is a bit out of his mind today.
Just as I was contemplating sending a text, the long-awaited message arrived with a ding. The content made my heart sink.
Yeah [I like you?! If you don't like me, I can make you like me, right? Donghyun, let's meet tomorrow?????]
Yeah, thankfully, I don't have to worry about getting fired, but I'm going to be incredibly stressed. Is it possible to date someone here? Even if it were, I wouldn't want to.
[ I say this again, I have a girlfriend… ^^ ]
Yeah [Oh, you sent the wrong text! I'm your boyfriend❤️]
김동현
… Oh, really.
Yeah [I'll be fine tomorrow too, come back cool🎶]
[I'll just wear something😛]
The chairman uses a lot of emoticons. Out of courtesy(?), I sent him one too, and he sent me a ton of emoticons. Will he laugh and talk to me again tomorrow?
김동현
Still… it’s cute.
김동현
…..
전 웅
Wow! Wasn't it so cute yesterday? Just give me that emoticon once! Okay?
김동현
Mr. Chairman, you should go in now. Let's avoid Saddam if possible.
전 웅
Hey, you're going too far... I told you I like you, right? I'm going to flirt with you.
Even as he ran away, he followed me around and acted cute. Is this really the chairman? Even though he inherited the position in such a hurry.
김동현
I don't like that kind of aegyo. If you're going to seduce someone, you should do it after properly understanding their tastes.
전 웅
Okay, I don't have to do it... ok? Let's go in quickly.
When I say I hate cute things, my expression and voice change. I think I'm really serious. Sorry, but I don't like you at all.
김동현
I'm going to quit my job...
전 웅
What? You can't do it. I won't let you do it.
김동현
But if you can't do it within a month, I'll close it. Okay?
I'm someone who's naturally suspicious of people and has never really liked anyone, so I thought I'd never be able to do it. That's what I thought...
전 웅
Dong-hyun, Secretary! My Dong?
김동현
Please call just one.
He bought me a cup of coffee and kept calling my name until I saw him. "Mydong, what's that?" Ugh, this has been going on for almost a month now. And so, strange rumors keep popping up around me.
“Isn’t the atmosphere between the chairman and his secretary strange these days? Is this an office romance?”
"What do you mean, Secretary, you're dating the Chairman? You're probably just stuck together."
김동현
What did the secretary say? Then what are they?
전 웅
You two are fired.
“Yes…? Me? Why me?”
전 웅
I can't stand people insulting my precious person. You don't even do your job properly.
김동현
No, why are you firing me? I'm fine.
전 웅
I'm not okay. Anyway, get out within a week. Employee Kim 00?
I've actually gotten fired a lot because of me. I don't know if it's because they're firing people who can't do their jobs because they think it's the right time, or because people gossip about me.
김동현
Thank you for today. I'll go now-
전 웅
Donghyun… Can you sleep over at my house today? Just this once. You’re not even coming to work tomorrow…
김동현
Since I'm not coming out, I should take a day off too. And what kind of secretary sleeps over at the chairman's house?
전 웅
Ugh... I hate being alone. I hate being separated from you in a few weeks.
I leaned on his shoulder and made a request. It was terrifying to be with the chairman from morning till night, but since that chairman was Jeon Woong, I decided to go at least once.
전 웅
Really? Awesome, I'll go make you something delicious!
김동현
Yes… I don’t know if the chairman can do it.
Crazy and crazy-!!!
김동현
…..
전 웅
Haha, it's been so long since I've done this that I don't know anything!
I was afraid I'd get hurt if I continued like this, so I ended up doing all the cooking myself. It was also a bit burdensome to have the chairman staring at me from behind.
전 웅
Wow - you're really good at it! You're my husband!
김동현
In our country, men cannot marry each other.
전 웅
Hehe, then let's just live among ourselves.
김동현
Stop talking like that and just eat…
I brought a large portion of the prepared food to the table. I felt a little proud as they ate it with joy, exclaiming, "Wow, wow!"
전 웅
I think this is the first time I've ever really liked someone this much. I love you so much.
김동현
Yes, me too.
전 웅
…????
I expected him to just push me away like he usually does, but when he told me that I was the same way, my eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, I don't know! Just say it."
김동현
You like it… You succeeded in a month?
전 웅
Woof... Kim Dong-hyun, you, I'm going to love you more!!
When I heard that he liked me, I almost burst into tears and sat down. What's wrong with him? I'm so embarrassed.
전 웅
Hehe, I liked you so much, but you pushed me away... I was so upset!!
김동현
Oh my... I'm sorry. Lift your head and let me see your pretty face.
I raised my head and saw her eyes brimming with tears. I cupped her cheeks and kissed her, and her pupils dilated once more. She probably never imagined this would happen overnight. It was surprising, since I was the one who went in and kissed her first.
전 웅
Huh… I love you, I will never let you go, so know that…!
김동현
I won't let go either. Mr. Chairman, I ask for your continued support.
전 웅
Donghyun, are you tired today? I bought you something you like!
김동현
Ah, bro, you don't have to buy me things like this... But thanks to you, I can work.
I never imagined I'd call this guy "hyung." But now we've been dating for about 50 days, and sleeping together at home has become a daily routine.
김동현
Hey, people are coming in soon. See you at home later!
전 웅
Hehe, I'll go when I have time...! Fighting today too.
Office romances like this aren't so bad, are they? You get to be loved, praised, and romantically involved 24/7 while working. And you get to see lots of cute faces, too.
전 웅
I love Mydong!!
김동현
Yeah, no, don’t say that quietly…!
Still, I was embarrassed to say this. But you never know what's going on. Maybe I'll end up doing more later?
김동현
…I love you, Woong.

I'm proud of myself for writing 5,000 characters while I can't write like this. Hahahahaha - The downside is that the content is weird.
휘슬 / 로휘
I definitely intended to write only about 3,000 characters😢 It's hard to control the length these days
휘슬 / 로휘
Anyway, I'll go try to write the rest of the articles. Thank you for reading and applying! Thank you💕❤️
