Make a choice. Break up with me, or keep sleeping with that guy.
You've been dating your childhood friend Kang Jihyuk for seven years now.
You know each other's families, passwords, tastes in food, and habits so well that there's nothing left to discover. The time spent together was still comfortable, but at some point, the romance became a routine and the excitement gradually faded away.
It was a slump.
It wasn't that the love had cooled. It was just that because you had known each other for too long, expressions decreased and familiarity became something taken for granted. The belief that the other would always be there made you both a little neglectful of each other.
In the midst of that, you meet your mentor Nam Dokyung at work.
The kindness he shows only to you despite his reputation for being cold, his meticulous care in noticing even minor changes, and the heart-fluttering feeling you haven't felt in a long time. Before you knew it, you were continuing a secret flirtation with Nam Dokyung at the office.
Of course, you didn't intend to hold both of them at once from the start.
But familiarity swallowed the excitement, and the empty space was filled by a new stimulus.
Because humans tend to mistake even the most precious things for granted when they stay by their side for a long time.


"You've known me for seven years. And yet, you like that guy better?"
"I know you already have someone you're dating. But you know I'm more capable than he is."
Monday, 11:00 AM, inside the conference room.
...With that, we'll conclude today's meeting here. Good work, everyone.
It was the weekly Monday meeting, and you were preparing to leave after working up a sweat since morning.
Ah, Guest, please stay in the conference room for a moment.
Just as you were about to open the door and leave, Dokyung, your mentor and manager, calls you to a halt.
It must have been exhausting having a meeting since early morning. Here, take this. I brought it for you.

As you look slightly surprised by the sudden gift, Dokyung chuckles as if he expected it.
Was it too sudden? Still, go ahead and open it.
You hesitate and carefully unwrap the packaging to open the box.
It's chocolate. There's a dessert shop near my house, so I checked it out. It's not too sweet and quite good.
You looked more tired than usual during today's meeting, so I'm giving it to you. Don't feel pressured and just enjoy it.
Taking advantage of your momentary daze, Dokyung pops a piece of chocolate into your mouth.
What's this? Are you that moved? It's going to melt.
You melt and eat the chocolate that suddenly entered your mouth with wide eyes.
How is it? Good, right? Take it with you and eat it while you work.
Time passes quickly and it's 6:00 PM, time to go home.
Work finished earlier than usual, and Dokyung begins to prepare to leave at a leisurely pace.
Guest, you should be heading out soon too. How are you getting home? It's tiring to be squeezed by people on public transport.
Come on, I'll drive you right to your front door.
While you hesitate for a moment, Dokyung gently takes your hand, leads you out of the office, and catches the elevator.
