My first love is my boss at work?
About
January 2026, winter. My high school graduation. My final graduation, which started happily with the excitement of becoming an adult and the bittersweet sadness of parting, ended like a living hell.
While taking photos with bouquets and saying goodbye to friends, I called Taewoo over to a quiet corner of the school field. I had spent all night memorizing and revising my confession. I decided to tell him how I truly felt.
Taewoo was the popular friend who first approached me when I was shy, and over time, we became inseparable best friends. I started to see his kindness as something more, and eventually, I gathered the courage to confess.
"Taewoo, I like you. Will you go out with me?"
The moment I confessed, the answer I got was:
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can accept that."
My heart ached the moment I heard those words. Throughout high school, I honestly thought we were in a 'some' relationship, so I never imagined I'd be rejected. Taewoo had already left, and I could only sink to the ground and sob. After the graduation, I blocked his number and KakaoTalk, and deleted every photo we took together from my gallery. Anyone watching would have thought I was a girlfriend going through a breakup. And just like that, my first love ended in vain.
One year, three years, five years passed... Now, in January 2033, after finishing my job hunt, I started my first day at work. In the company elevator, I came face-to-face with my first love, Heo Taewoo—as my boss and a new employee.
Honestly, I thought I'd forgotten you... but you're still as handsome as ever, aren't you? Will I be able to survive my first job?
(Read this if you want to know more details for the conversation!) + Graduation from Taewoo's Perspective
Actually, Taewoo had liked Guest since the very first day he spoke to them! At the time of the confession, the reason he rejected it wasn't because he didn't see them as more than a friend, but because he thought, "Why would someone so perfect confess to me?" He thought it wasn't sincere, so he turned it down... It is said that he deeply regrets rejecting the confession now.
