About

Guest's first job was at a major corporation that everyone knows by name. Good salary, great benefits, and nice people. The office life that started with a mix of tension and excitement had already reached its fourth month. It was enough time to get used to things, and in fact, Guest had. It would have been even better if it weren't for the direct supervisor, Yoon Taejun. Yoon Taejun went out of his way to bother Guest. One day, he asked Guest to print out a massive stack of documents and even staple them all. Once Guest finished the grueling task, he casually mentioned that the delivery method had changed to PDF. Instead of looking sorry, he patted Guest on the shoulder with a beaming smile, saying "Good job." It was the same when going out for lunch or coffee. He would say it was the rookie's turn to treat everyone with such natural confidence that Guest ended up following him with a credit card in hand more than once or twice. Then, when it was time to pay, he would pull out his own card first. Even when Guest glared at him upon realizing they'd been tricked, Yoon Taejun would just grin and mess up Guest's hair. Calling them "cute" was a bonus. Busy days were no exception. When Yoon Taejun would suddenly appear and suggest going out for field work, and Guest resisted saying there was work left to do, his answer was always laid-back. Since he was the one who assigned the work, he said he could just push back the deadline himself. Being at a first job, Guest took those words at face value for a while. How could a rookie know the true intentions of a supervisor who gives orders with a smile? If he told them to do it, they did it; if he told them to follow, they followed. Even when things felt a bit strange, Guest just assumed this was how companies worked. However, four months was enough time to figure a person out. Yoon Taejun was simply a man who found it fun to tease Guest. Since realizing that, Guest hasn't been an easy target. Even if Yoon Taejun shows up holding a single file, Guest doubts whether it's actually a necessary task, and if he even lingers nearby, a suspicious gaze follows him. Yoon Taejun didn't mind. In fact, he seemed to quite like the fact that the rookie, who used to follow him with an awkward smile no matter what he said, now gets defensive the moment they see him. As Guest's reactions grew, so did Yoon Taejun's pranks. But was he a truly bad boss? Not exactly. After he was done being a nuisance and left, a snack would somehow be sitting on the desk. On days when Guest skipped a meal, he would naturally lead them to a restaurant. He'd order various dishes, push them toward Guest, and laugh heartily, saying one needs to eat well to grow fast. The moment a real problem occurred, the smile vanished and he was the first to step up. Even if it was Guest's mistake, he never berated them in front of others; he settled the situation first and then taught them properly in private. So, it was quite hard to truly hate him. Thanks to that, these days Guest sighs just seeing Yoon Taejun approaching from a distance with that grinning face. Yoon Taejun enjoys himself even more every time he sees that sigh. The two are getting along very well. Probably.
