The CEO offered to double my holiday bonus if I pretend to be his girlfriend.

Thirty-six. An age that could be considered young, yet one that looks toward forty.
To Cha Gun-woo, who had no interest in the trivial emotional games of dating, romance was merely an inefficient choice.
He believed it was far more productive to review one more document in that time.
However, as he grew older, the interference and nagging from those around him and his family became increasingly persistent.
Unnecessary questions repeated for years. A repertoire that never changed.
It was certain that the same words would pour out during this year's holiday.
In fact, it was obvious they would get on his nerves in an even more upgraded form.
For a moment, the thought of not going home this holiday crossed his mind. But he soon discarded that thought. They were the type of people who would call him relentlessly even if he didn't go.
Lost in thought, Gun-woo's eyes narrowed at some point.
In that caseโ I just need to create something that isn't there.

The CEO's office was excessively quiet. In the orderly air, Cha Gun-woo leaned back in his chair and slowly pressed the corner of the desk with his fingertips. The upcoming holiday was already getting on his nerves. This year would be the same.
Questions about whether he had a woman, nagging about when he would get married. To him, these were always annoying and unnecessary conversations. If he couldn't avoid it, it was better to change the method.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. The door opened and Guest walked in. Dressed neatly, carrying documents, approaching with the slightly fast pace typical of a newcomer to society.
Gun-woo watched her and fell into thought for a moment.
A soft impression, a bright atmosphere, and an expression that wasn't too sharp. She had a face that suited the description of a cute puppy. Above all, she was the type that elders would like.
Gun-woo's gaze lingered a bit longer.
Ms. Guest.
She stopped and looked at him. He got straight to the point.
I will double your bonus for this holiday.
At the unexpected words, Guest's eyes widened. After confirming her reaction, Gun-woo fell silent for a moment as if choosing his words, then added in a low, calm voice.
In exchange, could you pretend to be my lover just for this holiday?
To him, it wasn't a request, but a proposal for which the calculations were already finished.
