I looked up to Aunt Yen and she gave me a gentle smile.

I returned to Yeonseok and asked, "Really? You must be very excited to go there."

Yeonseok nodded and replied, "It's been a while since I last stayed over with Granny Yen. She also said that our cousins will be there so it will be a fun sleepover."

"It surely will be," I nodded as I stood up slowly.

"Everybody, why don't you all wait for me in the minivan? I need to have a word with your Auntie Mingyu," Aunt Yen told the kids. And they followed without saying another word.

"You can't do this! This is against the law!" My head quickly turned to Mama's direction. Without any sense of decency, she protested non-stop against the ladies.

"Do you want to discuss the law, ma'am? Let us do so,"one of the ladies stepped closer to Mama.

Granny Yen's hand snaked around my arm, pulling me away gently from the front yard. We stood behind the minivan and she spoke in a low voice, "The women from the agency and your boss told me everything that

    I stepped into the house and silently made my way to the stairs. Halfway up, quick shuffling headed towards the door."Ryuk Mingyu!" I came to a stop as Mama's voice echoed all throughout the house.I rolled my eyes before I turned to them once more.Mama proceeded, "Why are you doing this? Why are you making things harder for everybody? Your sisters are trying to find a way to provide for their kids. But you decided to call the police, throw them in jail and have child services take away their kids. What are you trying to do?""Instead of asking me, why don't you ask your two beloved daughters, then?" I spatted. I continued, "Your daughters brought home drug dealers into your house. They almost endangered your kids and me, who also happens to be your daughter. After what I did to protect everybody here, you see it as making things harder for us? When have they ever contributed to this house properly?""Mind your tone with me, Mingyu!" she shouted."Then, mind your thoughts about me a

    It read,"Hi and good evening, Miss Ryuk!"Hyeongu mentioned that you accepted the hotel access given by Nekobe. I can't express how glad I was to hear such good news. Rest assured that everything that you'll need will be provided for. Breakfast will be included in the package. I'm not sure if Mr. Choi mentioned it already. But if he didn't then I'm here to remind you about it."I know I wasn't able to answer your pressing questions today. And I'm very sorry that I couldn't give you what you want. Somehow, I know that there are words I know that you want to hear. As much as I want to give you just that, I would be lying, not just to you but to myself as well. And that's the last thing that I want to do to you."Anyways, I will not bother you anymore. I will give you some time to rest early."If I may ask one thing from you, please don't overthink anything. Leave those problems for another day. I promise I'll explain everything one day. But for now, focus on yourself and the career tha

    "Hi, good morning," I greeted with a bright smile, walking past the front desk. At the bench beside them, there sat my mother who wore the biggest agitation on her face.'I have the biggest feeling that this conversation won't go so well,' I thought to myself."Hi, Mama," I said as soon as I reached her.With a huff, she stood up and marched closer towards me. "Where the hell have you been? Is it a custom here to make their guests wait that long?" she ranted immediately as I stood before her.Heels clicking approached me from behind. I turned around and one of the receptionists stood before me, worried. She started, "My deepest apologies if we made your mother wait for too long, Miss Ryuk.""No, it's okay," I comforted her, shaking my head. I continued, "You were only doing your job. This is out of your control."Mama suddenly snapped, "I wouldn't mind waiting if I was given something to eat or drink.""First of all, you shouldn't be here during working hours, Mama," I spatted back as

    I quickly turned my head and my eyes widened upon seeing Mr. Kim is right behind me.With his hands behind his back, he stepped forward and shielded me from my exploding parent. He then continued, "If you must know, this is a well-mannered workplace. We don't tolerate loitering or any scandalous behaviour here. If you proceed to do so, I'm afraid I'll have to call security to escort you out of this lobby."Mama scoffed. She remarked, louder, "So, this is how you treat your guests, huh? You make them wait for hours and whenever they speak out their thoughts, you make them leave. What kind of moral etiquette are you implementing here?""First of all, madam, you're not a prestigious guest that needs to be doted on by our staff," Mr. Kim stepped forward, not letting Mama finish her sentence. He continued, "On the contrary, you are disrespecting a place where no one has shown you any disrespect. And the reason why you're still being paid the respect that you don't deserve is because we hav

    "Before we end today's meeting, I just want to congratulate everyone with their daily reports," Mr. Kim said, closing the projector and his laptop. The lights were turned back on as he continued, "Mr. Nam is impressed by everyone's quick reaction. And he also hopes that your amazing performances will last for a long time. Remember, if we work together, our company will last longer and will grow better. And that is beneficial for us. Is that clear?""Yes, Mr. Kim," we all replied.Once again, Mr. Kim led our after-work meeting. Our outputs were collected and he also explained Mr. Nam's possible plans for expanding several businesses under our name. Mr. Kim also confirmed that if it happened, we would be busier than before. But it would also be a good thing for some of us because Mr. Nam might choose new supervisors from our floor.It was a grand plan. I also sensed that most of my office mates were elated with the possible promotion because of it. And I could already sense that everybo

    My brows furrowed. I asked, "Aren't we going to Jeju Island together, Mr. Nam?""Yes, that was the original plan. However, something came up and I need to take care of it before I leave the office to Hyeongu. There are some matters that he can't handle and I don't want for him to have a hard time without me," said Mr. Nam."I understand," I replied."Will you be needing any help with your luggage? It's best that you tell me now so I can assist you," he said. He continued, "Do you have your own luggage bag? I can have Hyeongu buy one for you."I shook my head and answered, "That won't be necessary, sir. I can easily use a backpack for my personal belongings. I'll use a separate handbag for my work materials. It's only for a weekend, anyways. I won't need that much stuff."He looked at me, confused. "Miss Ryuk, have you forgotten that you can also have some time for yourself when we get to Jeju?" Mr. Nam asked, leaning onto his desk with his arms folded. "Yes, our main purpose of visit

    "Let's go, Miss Ryuk. The captain is excited to meet you," Haru said, seemingly unaware of my nervousness.Putting my bag on top of my thighs, my hold on it tightened as I took deep breaths.Haru moved closer and asked, "Is there something wrong, Miss Ryuk?" I remained silent for a bit before he asked another, "Are you alright, Miss Ryuk? Should I call for assistance?"I quickly shook my head and looked up to him. I smiled faintly but I stopped after my lips shook. I looked back down and said, "I'm just a bit nervous. I never interacted with these kinds of people in my entire existence. I don't know what I should and shouldn't say. I don't know what I should and shouldn't do.""Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Ryuk. I wasn't aware of that. Would you like for me to explain the situation to them? I'm sure they'll understand," Haru replied.I shook my head again. "That will be the worst thing that I can do," I answered, looking back to him. I continued, "As much as I don't want to put myself in an un

    "Good morning and welcome to Basapa Hotel. How may I help you today?" the receptionist smiled as Hyeorae and I approached her."Hi, I have booked accommodation for the weekend. It's under my boss' name," I replied."What's his name, madam?""The accommodation is under Mr. Nam's name.""Okay," she said, typing away on her computer She asked another, "May I ask for your name as well, madam? And what's your relationship with Mr. Nam?""Ryuk Mingyu. I'm his secretary."She typed once again on her computer before she replied, "Got it. Well, let me have a quick check into this. You may wait over there," she pointed at the bench across the front desk."Thank you," I smiled and we proceeded to the said bench. I sat down and Hyeorae did the same. He handed over my luggage and I put it in between my legs.The lobby wasn't what I expected it to be. Yes, it was in a beach but with the likes of Mr. Nam, I thought he preferred prestigious business partners. But to my surprise, this hotel has a sim

    "Ugh, ugh, do you like that, huh? Do you like it when I pound you?""Oh, I love it. I love it, I love it. Fuck me harder. Fuck till I come.""With pleasure. I'll hump your brains out!"Moans and curses filled Taeyoung's room as he did his usual rendezvous with his receptionist. It was the normal scene in his office once lunch time has arrived. His secretary, bent over on his table with her skirt down whilst he pounded her from behind. And for the longest time, no one has ever caught them.Until today.The door suddenly opened as Taeyoung's assistant entered. "Mr. Nam, you need to-- Oh!"Taeyoung and the receptionist immediately turned their heads in his direction.His assistant cleared his throat and turned around. He kept his composure as hard as he could but that was extremely difficult. You wouldn't want to see your girlfriend under some other guy, right?He held his breath for a moment before he continued, "Mr. Nam, I have something to tell you."Taeyoung chuckled as he pulled out

    He was thrown onto the table, breaking it with his body.I looked up and it was Mr. Nam and Hyeorae. Mr. Nam had death in his glare as he looked at the board member.Hyeorae quickly helped me up whilst Mr. Nam headed to the weakened man. And when he stood before him, he punched him without mercy. And there was no sign that he was going to stop."Sir, sir, that's enough," Hyeorae rushed over to Mr. Nam and pulled him back towards us. Mr. Nam resisted against Hyeorae but Hyeorae maintained his composure and held him back. He continued, "Mr. Nam, that's enough. People are watching."We looked around and the rest of the VIP section were staring at the commotion we started. Mr. Nam shook off Hyeorae's hand and fixed himself. "Take Miss Ryuk out of here and start the car," he gritted."Yes, sir." Without a moment to lose, Hyeorae gently led me out of the VIP section. He held me by the arm, his hand on my waist as we rushed our way out of this place.My heart pounded continuously as I became

    Whilst we waited for the board director, I stood in between Mr. Nam and Hyeorae. Mr. Nam stood before me whilst Hyeorae stayed behind me. This position was supposed to make me feel secure. However, I was still wary of my surroundings. Random men had been eyeing me since we got here and the presence of Mr. Nam and Hyeorae wasn’t doing anything to scare them away.I stepped back and Hyeorae was quick to step closer to me. He moved closer to my ear and asked, “Is there something wrong, Miss Ryuk?”I shook my head and replied, trying my best to push through the loud music, “I’m very uncomfortable. Some guys here have been staring at me and I hate that.”Suddenly, someone held my hand and I immediately pulled away. Thankfully, it was only Mr. Nam. I was quickly relieved and he stepped closer to us. “Did something happen?” he asked.“Miss Ryuk said that some dudes were staring down at her because of her dress,” Hyeorae answered. “She’s a bit uncomfortable, sir.”Mr. Nam looked at me and ge

    “As you can see, we still have more areas to expand our business. For now, we want to focus on what we have right now and make sure that we cater to everybody that we have,” Mr. Ho explained as he stood before us. On the whiteboard, the projector showed a map of the whole area of their vicinity.Today was the final day for us to meet with Mr. Ho and his board of directors. And he saved the best for last. He actually had a conference room behind the lobby and it was professional beyond professional.I knew I made the right decision in bringing my business suit.I looked to Mr. Nam anticipated for his response.Quietly, he tapped his fingers on the table as he looked down to his notes.The room was dead silent. The atmosphere grew thicker and thicker as we waited for Mr. Nam to say something. I shared brief glances with the directors and with Mr. Ho. And everybody had the same expression.Anxious. Nervous. It could be seen in their eyes. Their formal smiles couldn’t hide it from me.Fin

    “Alright, you two. You’re up,” the staff said to us as he opened the gate.“Come on, Jinho,” I said, stepping onto the platform. Immediately, I took a seat in our designated cart. As I got settled in, I was shocked to find Mr. Nam, frozen in line. Irritated, I asked, “Jinho, what are you doing?”The staff entered the conversation, “You need to move, sir. There’s a long line behind you.”Mr. Nam looked at him with frightened eyes. His hands gripped tightly onto his leather jacket.After a long sigh and a groan, I stomped towards him and grabbed him by the hand.“Wait, wait, Mingyu,” he stuttered, fighting against my pull. He continued, “Stop for a second, give me a moment to breathe–”Immediately, I sat him on his spot in the cart, not allowing him to finish. I replied, “There’s no time. People are waiting to get on the ride. You can’t just stand there, make a fool of yourself and shake to death.” I sat beside him and allowed to lock our seatbelts.The seatbelts weren’t that tight but

    “So, how’s everything there?” Soyoung asked on the other line.“Mr. Nam and I are currently waiting for the clients to arrive. We’re supposed to be in the middle of a meeting right now. But for some reason, they’re still not here,” I explained.“Oh, how manners dissolve when you become rich,” she remarked after a sigh. She asked another, “How was your first night in Jeju? Were you able to enjoy yourself?”I replied, “It was a chill start for the weekend. I shared dinner with Mr. Nam. The resto bar here has such a delicious shrimp cocktail. And—““Hold on. You did not just say that and simply brush it off like it’s nothing,” she said.I stopped for a second before I asked, “What do you mean?”“Replay just what you said.”“About the shrimp cocktail.”“No, not that.”I took a moment and retraced my words. “Oh, okay,” I replied, realizing what she meant. “What about that?”“Did you just go on a date with Mr. Nam?” she whispered over the phone.“No, Soyoung, it wasn’t a date. We somehow bu

    “Oh, um, hi,” I replied, stuttering. “I didn’t know you’d be here, Mr—““Call me Jinho,” he interrupted as he whispered in my ear. He continued, “Remember, outside of work, you call me by my name.”“You know this girl?” the girl asked behind him. She continued, “You’re going to choose a plain dish rag over me?”Mr. Nam moved away from me and faced the girls. He then replied, “I’d rather be with a girl who’s a dish rag rather than a girl who’s an all-out buffet.”My eyes widened, looking up at Mr. Nam. He didn’t just say that. It wasn’t even directed to me but I felt how hurtful those words were.“Ah, Mr. Nam,” the bartender called out as he returned with the shrimp cocktail. He continued as he arrived with us, “I see you already found your lady. Here’s your shrimp cocktail, ma’am,” he gently put the cocktail in front of me. He then turned to Mr. Nam and asked, “What can I get you tonight, sir?”“A martini and a pineapple vodka for Mingyu over here,” he said, briefly pointing towards m

    “You’re going somewhere, Miss Ryuk?” Hyeorae asked as I headed to the door.I turned around and replied, “I’m just going for a walk.”“Do you want me to come with you?” he asked, quickly standing up from the couch.I quickly answered, “Oh, no, no, Hyeorae. There’s no need for that. I want to go by myself. At the same time, the day has already ended. You’re off duty.”“That’s not how my job works, Miss Ryuk. I was told to watch over you here in Jeju. I need to follow orders,” he insisted.“Hyeorae, Mr. Nam told me to enjoy the place. And I won’t be able to do that with a bodyguard,” I explained. I continued, “And besides, you worked well today. It’s time for you to simply sit back and enjoy the rest of the night. Like what you’re doing right now.” I then pointed at the television, which was at the sports channel.He glanced over at the television before returning to me. He asked, “Are you sure you can handle yourself, Miss Ryuk? You don’t know the place. What if something happens to yo

    Immediately, I turned around and my eyes widened upon seeing Mr. Nam was standing behind me.“Mr. Nam,” Hyeorae and I greeted in unison.“It’s wonderful to see that you arrived safe and sound, Miss Ryuk. But may I ask, what in the world are you wearing?” Mr. Nam asked as he looked at my whole outfit.“Um, well–”He interrupted, “Why are you wearing a suit? Didn’t Hyeorae tell you what I said?”“He did, Mr. Nam,” I replied right away. I continued, “It was me who chose to wear this outfit. When Hyeorae said you were in a meeting, I thought it was the usual business kind.”Mr. Nam chuckled. He then said, “Miss Ryuk, we’re at a beach resort. We don’t do formal business meetings unless deemed necessary. But not to worry, you can always change your outfit. The meeting hasn’t started yet.”“But I don’t have a beach outfit, Mr. Nam.”His brows furrowed. He asked, “Where’s the luggage that I sent Haru to give to you?”“It’s in my room, Mr. Nam.”“Have you opened it?”I shook my head. I replied
