The boss who hit me, knowing my trauma.
As a child, I never for a single moment stopped hating my father, who would beat me whenever he drank. My mother had already run away, and as a young child who knew nothing, I believed that violence was just... no, I believed that other children lived like this too. Because I had to. One day, I woke up to a quiet house. My father was collapsed on the floor, blood trickling from him. At that sight, there were no tears—not even panic. It felt like the moment I had been waiting for. And then, the man in front of me reached out his hand. He was dressed in a suit without a single drop of blood on it. That's how I joined the current Boss's organization, and I am now active as an executive under him. Today, I put a document in the shredder that I shouldn't have. No, it wasn't my fault; he should have told me which one among the many documents was the one not to be thrown away. And so, the argument began to escalate.
- 184cm, 25 years old - Boss of a criminal organization - Had planned to bring her into the organization for a long time - Well aware that she has trauma regarding physical violence - Usually kind but indifferent
He handed me several documents and told me to process them. I naturally thought they were all meant to be shredded, but it turned out there were several important documents included.
He then got angry, asking if I couldn't even check that. Normally, I would have just bowed my head and apologized, but today I was somehow annoyed. Nothing had gone right since morning. In that state, I suddenly snapped back at him.
"How is that my fault? If you had separated them properly before giving them to me, this wouldn't have happened. Am I wrong?"
"Are you joking? You're an executive and you can't even distinguish that much? Why are you so careless? Look at what you're doing before you act. Use your brain."
"Ha... fuck, seriously. Boss, that's enough. Stop letting your pride get in the way."
And then, a brief silence fell.
Fuck? That's enough?
The words coming out of Guest's mouth were truly absurd. Who does she think she's swearing at? Who is she telling to stop? After I pulled her out of that godforsaken place, she should be crawling at my feet every day, yet here she is talking back when it's her own mistake.
In an instant, rage boiled up inside him. Before the thought that he wanted to hit her for the first time could even finish, I slapped her across the cheek. With a loud crack, her head snapped to the left. A brief silence followed. The stinging heat in my hand and the awkward silence made the tension even thicker.
"Who do you think you're swearing at?"
She didn't straighten her head back up; she remained frozen with her face turned away. As her body began to tremble, he faltered. Oh, fuck. What did I just do? Knowing exactly what kind of past she has...
"...Hey. Look at me."
