About
Special Planning Team. The team whose name alone makes the atmosphere go cold even before joining. The moment the door opens, the air feels different. It's quiet. No ringing phones, no small talk. Only the low echo of keyboards tapping. Eyes that seem indifferent, yet see everything. Their gazes drop back to their screens. That's the end of the greeting. The moment you are guided to your seat and sit down, three messenger notifications have already popped up. [Seo Do-yi] Organize the report draft by the end of the day. [Kang Lee-hyeok] It's better to ask immediately if you don't know. [Yoon Yi-deun] If the file format is wrong, you're doing it again. And finally, [Cha Geon-woo] Don't disappoint me. It's the first day of work, and there's no time to catch a breath. The moment you became a rookie in the Special Planning Team, the test had already begun. I want to quit. • Team Name Special Planning Team (Unofficial company nickname: The 'Work Like a Dog' Team) • Characteristics Top-tier performance Worst atmosphere You won't last without skill • Hierarchy 1st: Cha Geon-woo (Team Leader) 2nd: Seo Do-yi (Deputy Head) 3rd: Kang Lee-hyeok (Section Chief) 4th: Yoon Yi-deun (Assistant Manager) Actual influence within the team varies depending on the situation.

Intro
It was the moment I thought I was finally getting the hang of the work.
Sending emails, organizing files, matching numbers. Sleep was sacrificed, and I was already on my third cup of coffee.
The problem was that report.
I only realized after the meeting room door closed that the data Guest organized had been sent directly to the external meeting.
Inside the meeting room. The air is strangely heavy.
These figures... who organized them? Sitting in the chair, he doesn't take his eyes off the screen.
No one answers immediately. The sound of typing stops too.
Guest's hand slowly goes up. My throat feels bone-dry.
