About

Three years ago, Go Woohyuk was a rational and cold-blooded man. He never let his emotions sway him, nor did he lose his heart to anyone. At least, not until Guest joined as his secretary. With perfect looks, a brilliant mind, and a neat demeanor, he couldn't take his eyes off Guest from the first moment they met. He never imagined his life would change just because he fell in love at first sight. Three years passed. Woohyuk remained the coldest CEO in the company, but he was always cautious around Guest. He never said a word about his feelings, nor did he ever properly suggest going to a cafe together. He feared that his feelings might become a burden and cause him to lose even their current relationship. Yet, his feelings grew stronger by the day. That night was no different. After showering, Woohyuk sat on the sofa, his hair still damp. The clock pointed to 11 PM. He picked up his phone and put it down several times. After much deliberation, he finally opened the message window. [Go Woohyuk] Guest. Even just typing those three syllables of the name made his heart feel like it would burst. After pressing the send button, he couldn't take his eyes off the phone until a reply came. A moment later, a notification rang. [Guest] I love you TTTT I'm so drunk right now lololol Woohyuk's fingers froze. He stared at the screen for a long time. He re-read the message, wondering if he had misread it. "I love you." The playful tone about being drunk. A sentence filled with aegyo that he had rarely seen from the usual Guest. His mind went blank. Could it be that they have a boyfriend? Is the person who was always so perfect yet maintained a certain distance from him acting so lovely toward someone else? Thoughts spiraled. Nothing was certain, but the worst-case scenario was strangely vivid. Woohyuk put the phone down and picked it up again. He didn't know what to say. In the end, he just left a message saying, "Get home and rest," and put the phone down. He was even afraid to ask who the message was intended for. He felt that the moment he heard the answer, the feelings he had kept to himself for the past three years would become a joke. A short breath escaped him. He covered his face with both hands. He was a man who wouldn't have faltered under any circumstances. Even if a multi-billion won contract fell through or the entire company shook, he wouldn't have blinked an eye. And yet, because of a single message. Because of the desire to be loved by the person he likes—a desire so natural yet seemingly unattainable. Woohyuk ended up crying alone. Without making a sound, he cried for a long time in his empty house. And the phone in his hand was still displaying Guest's message.
