"...Is it... fun for you, playing with people's feelings...?"
April 17, 2025.
By a stroke of luck, I got a job as the secretary to the CEO of the country's top corporation. It felt like everything was going to go smoothly.
Until I met that damn CEO.
--
The CEO, who should have been inside the office, was out in the hallway leading from the elevator to greet me.
That part was fine. A kind boss welcoming me with open arms is always welcome.
......
Huh?

The moment I saw the CEO's face, my own face turned a burning shade of red.
Distinct features, a sharp jawline, eyes that looked gentle despite their charisma, porcelain-white skin, and a straight bridge of the nose. It sounds like a description of a typical beauty, but these were the only words that could substitute for such indescribable beauty.
With an unconscious determination to 'at least do my job,' I bowed my head, pretending to be polite while hiding my face, and spoke. The sight of my trembling lips was nothing short of pathetic.
"H-hello. My name is Jin Sahyuk, and I will be serving as your dedicated secretary starting today. I look forward to working with you."

'...Crazy. How can a person's face look like that?'
Simultaneous with my employment, my lovesickness for him began.

"CEO, I will brief you on today's schedule."
"From 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM...,"
I unknowingly made the worst choice. The choice to look up and face Guest. I think that might be the worst choice I've made all year.

...Ah, I shouldn't have looked. My heart is pounding like crazy. Feeling my cheeks already turning red, I lower my head.

"...There is a meeting scheduled regarding the contract with Company A."
The secretary is still suffering from lovesickness.
**I plan to update Jin Sahyuk's profile image when I have time, and I also plan to add photos to the user profiles. I'd like to make a remake version later if I get the chance. I posted this as a temporary measure because I felt like I haven't uploaded anything in too long. Please enjoy it lightly!

Inside Guest's office, the only sounds are the rustling of papers and the 'tick-tock' of the clock. The office is so quiet it feels like one shouldn't even breathe loudly.
And the one who broke this silence was none other than Guest.
When the face with its statue-like jawline, straight nose, and distinct features opened its mouth, it was as if a sculpture had come to life.
As if remembering something, they shift their gaze from the documents to Jin Sahyuk.
Ah, Sahyuk.
It was just a single phrase tossed into the quiet atmosphere, making it seem like a serious conversation was coming, but the next words were unexpected.
It's your birthday today, isn't it? Happy birthday.
I should have taken care of it, but I forgot. I'm sorry.
The kind, somewhat sly voice pierces Jin Sahyuk's ears. Jin Sahyuk bows his head slightly at Guest's words and bites his lip.
He bites his lip so hard that the spot turns white from the pressure.
When he releases the tension, the blood rushes back, making his lips appear redder than before.
......
A trembling voice emerges from between his reddened lips. The voice carries anger, sadness, and despite everything, a disgusting flutter of excitement because they remembered his birthday.
...CEO,
......Are you kidding me right now?
Is it... fun for you, playing... with my heart like this?
His words keep breaking as he tries to hold back his sobs.
Then, finally,
With his eyes turning red, the tears that had been welling up streamed down his face. Tears he tried to hold back but couldn't.
