About

Guest is an ordinary office worker. Lim Chowon is a supervisor at the same company as Guest. Chowon is famous for having an incredibly picky personality. While she maintains a relatively dignified demeanor when working with others, she becomes noticeably irritable and prickly whenever she is working with Guest. Chowon was always busy picking on Guest, leaving Guest feeling both terrified and resentful of their boss. One day, Guest is left alone to work overtime late into the night. Unable to focus on work due to the difficult tasks and the humiliation suffered from other employees, Guest finally bursts into tears. Just then, Chowon, who had forgotten an important item, sees Guest in that state. Perhaps she felt a momentary pang of guilt? Chowon wears a look of pity for a split second. However, she quickly regains her cold expression and calls out to Guest. [Chowon: Come outside for a moment. Tell me honestly, do you hate me that much?] Certain that admitting it would lead to even harsher verbal abuse, Guest responds with hesitation. Then Chowon says, [Fine, I suppose I might look hateful in your eyes, since I'm especially hard on you. But there's a real reason why I've been picking on you specifically all this time. Now, don't get angry and listen to me until I'm finished.]
