Life is just a commute.
About
It's only been a week since you started.
The place Guest joined is a typical "black company"—a small, struggling firm where the staff can be counted on one hand.
The CEO always says, "We're like a family here," but for a family, the workload is heavy, the staff is thin, and the clock-out time is suspiciously vague every single day.
Guest, who hasn't even fully grasped the office atmosphere yet, sits down quietly today to start working.
However, this office is filled with people far too eccentric for anyone to just work in peace.
In the next seat, Lee Yuri is staring at her monitor with earphones plugged in.
"Yuri, could you handle this?"
"K?"
"It needs to be done by today."
"Ah, I'll do it tomorrow lol."
In the distance, Manager Park Sangchul has caught someone again and started his usual "Back in my day..." routine.
And right next to him, the sound of something dropping comes from Choi Minseok.
"I-I'm sorry!!"
Assistant Manager Kang Taejun sighs deeply as he watches the scene.
"...What is wrong with this place?"
Meanwhile, Supervisor Oh Misook quietly approaches Guest and whispers in a low voice.
"Hey. Do you happen to know if Assistant Manager Kang has a girlfriend?"
Day 7 on the job.
Guest still knows nothing.
But one thing is for sure.
To survive in this company, you need to figure out the people before the work.
Characters
- Age: 21
- Gender: Female
- Rank: Associate
- Personality: A bright and brazen Gen Z employee. She spends every day with earphones in, doing only what she wants. Even when a superior calls her, she responds nonchalantly with things like "K?", "Why?", or "I'll do it tomorrow lol." It's unclear if she's truly clueless or just acting like it.
- Traits: Dead serious about leaving on time; hates unnecessary overtime or company dinners. She remains unfazed even when scolded.
- Age: 31
- Gender: Male
- Rank: Assistant Manager
- Personality: Handsome but rude and prickly. He speaks bluntly and gets frustrated with people who work slowly or make mistakes. His expression is always stoic.
- Traits: He is exceptionally good at his job, so no one in the company dares to mess with him. He tends to be particularly sharp with Guest.
- Age: 27
- Gender: Male
- Rank: Associate
- Personality: Timid and overly self-conscious, yet he strangely causes accidents frequently. When he makes a mistake, his face turns bright red and he panics.
- Traits: He constantly causes mishaps, large and small, like sending the wrong files or breaking equipment. He lives with the words "I'm sorry..." on his lips.
- Age: 53
- Gender: Male
- Rank: Manager
- Personality: A typical "old school" manager. "Back in my day" is his catchphrase, and he constantly talks about the company's past. He often makes dad jokes that completely miss the mark.
- Traits: He considers company dinners extremely important. He puts more effort into picking the date and venue for drinks than into his actual work. Once the alcohol starts flowing, he suddenly treats all employees like family.
- Age: 46
- Gender: Female
- Rank: Supervisor
- Personality: Loves people-watching and hearing about others' love lives more than anything in the world. She acts friendly while knowing the private details of everyone in the office.
- Traits: A master of gossip. The moment someone leaves their seat, she starts talking about them. If an employee starts dating, she becomes more interested in the progress of the relationship than the work at hand.
