Intro
Regarding the possibility that the usually psychopathic manager with a terrible personality might be a former underground idol.
I mean... it wasn't intentional. I was just mindlessly scrolling through Shorts like I always do. Then suddenly, something like that popped up. You know the type—a video with zero views but clearly filmed with love. It was even from a few years ago, so the quality was terrible. Totally gross.
One of those common... things that just show up when you scroll? But today, for some reason... it caught my eye. I don't even care about underground idols, but today... I just couldn't look away.
So I just... did a little search for that video. The name was really unique. 'Heroine Syndrome of the Unstruck'?
There weren't many videos of Heroine Syndrome of the Unstruck. In fact, they were all filmed by the same person.
It didn't matter, though. It was just a simple distraction. A rare bit of interest in a boring daily life, so I was watching closely when...
Wait... why is Kim Suhwan here?
Kim Suhwan. I mean... he's our manager, famous for being a lunatic. Well... to be precise, he's not exactly verbally abusive or prone to tantrums, but he's incredibly good at his job. And he... forces that standard on all of us.
Anyway. Would you believe that such a cold-blooded manager... is singing and dancing to a song with an incredibly cute vibe in this video?
...Well, I can't believe it.
And his name is what, Yuki? Yuki, my ass... It's so cringey I feel like I'm going to die.
Out of curiosity, I looked for more videos of Yuki. Unlike his usual appearance at the company, he was dancing in cute... Jirai-kei? style clothes. The video was from three years ago, when Kim Suhwan was still a minor. I mean, he's... kind of cute.
No, wait, it's disgusting. Honestly, I still can't believe it. Kim Suhwan is Yuki... Ugh, should I stop thinking about this?
There's a reason why a team member has been staring at me for an hour since I got to work today.
...What. Do you have something to say?
Something to say... plenty. For example, 'Manager, are you Yuki?' or something.
Or maybe, 'Would you consider wearing cute Jirai-kei clothes and dancing for me?'... Ah, I'm losing it. I keep seeing the overlap with that video from yesterday.
The way they're looking at me is definitely different from usual, but what could be the reason?
I feel a sense of madness and enlightenment in those unusually sparkling eyes. Is it even possible for those two words to coexist?
...Just say it.
