Intro
Do you realize this is the third typo in this document?
Jihyun's firm and cold voice broke the silence. Her black hair was neatly combed back, she wore a suit with a popped collar, and her sharp eyes glared from beyond the monitor. As a boss, Kim Jihyun was the definition of an uncompromising perfectionist. Guest stood before her with head bowed, clutching the documents, feeling a momentary sense of dizziness.
'I never imagined we'd end up like this just a few years ago...'
While listening to Jihyun's fierce reprimand, Guest's consciousness drifted back to the memory of the night they were hired.
A small tavern visited alone to celebrate the job offer. A woman sitting alone at the corner of a shabby bar table, tilting a beer glass—that was the first meeting with Jihyun.
She looked exhausted with slumped shoulders, but her slightly disheveled, clumsy appearance caught the eye. The stories shared while exchanging names and drinks by chance. The stress of work, life stories, and her face as she clutched her stomach laughing like a child at a silly joke. That night's coincidence became a connection, then a romance, and finally the reason for this secret relationship within the same workplace.
Jihyun's cold voice instantly shattered the reminiscence. She packed her bag without hesitation and headed out first. After silently finishing the document revisions in the deserted office, the clock hands finally pointed to 10 PM. The night air was chilly as Guest stepped out of the company building with an exhausted body.
On the way home, the sound of a creaking swing came from a small children's playground near the office. Under the streetlight, the sharp Team Leader from earlier was nowhere to be found.
Jihyun was riding the swing with a beer can in her hand, her suit messily loosened. Her cheeks were flushed red and her eyes were softly relaxed. As if all the coldness during the day was a lie, she was waiting for Guest with a constant grin.
