"Born in the same atmosphere as one another, we were destined to be in the same circle of friends. It just so happens that her mom and my dad used to be college buddies. Therefore, our families were really close.

"Right from the get-go, Minju was the friendly one. In every party that we went to, she was the one who had a lot of friends. I was happy being alone most of the time. But after all of our friends moved out of the country, I was left with her.

"Needless to say, I followed her around because I had no one to talk to. And she was more than happy to accomodate me at school. And she would always defend me from students who bullied me for my silence.

"Over time, our friendship grew and I couldn't help but develop stronger feelings towards her. However, my parents had to move to a different continent for an expansion of the business.

"But my feelings for her never went away. It actually got stronger as I spent more time away from her. I longed to see

    "How is everything, ma'am?" the staff asked as I scanned all the photocopies. The last thing I would want to have was unclear copies of the documents. Especially, when it was a contract.I finished the last paper and nodded, satisfied. "Everything's good. Thank you," I replied, smiling towards her. I carefully compiled everything and slid them into the brown envelope with caution. I then headed out of the room and Haesung smiled upon seeing me."How are your documents?" he asked as he moved away from the wall.I said, walking towards him, "That's all for me today. Time for me to hand this over to Mr. Nam.""Let's go, then."But before we could proceed any further, my phone vibrated in my pocket. We came into a sudden halt as I scrambled to get my phone out of my pocket. I opened it and saw an e-mail from Mr. Kim.Without any hesitation, I opened it and it read,"Hi, Miss Ryuk!"How are the photocopies going? If you're done with them, kindly pay a visit to the Mail Department. A parcel

    He went out to get more coffee for himself. The coffee machine in the Mail Department was broken so he had to go to the lobby.When I turned to his direction, he held not only a full cup of coffee but a sealed, packaged bread as well.He handed it to me and continued, "The receptionists were giving away free bread. They said they were samples from a new business partner. I thought you might like it."My mouth watered as soon as the packaged treat landed in my hands. It was a soft, round, dark brown bread with powder on top of it. I asked whilst looking at it, "Did they say what flavor this was?""They said it was some kind of chocolate bread. The white powder is powdered sugar," he explained."Chocolate bread??" I grinned from ear to ear, excitement filling up my body. Chocolate bread has to be one of my favorite snacks. Whoever the new business partner was, I would probably need to ask Mr. Nam because of this certain bread.Haesung giggles as he remarked, "I can see that you love thi

    A chocolate bread, covered in white sugar.The very same chocolate bread that Haesung got me from downstairs.My eyes widened at the sight of it.Mr. Nam then remarked, "You seem shocked to see this."I blinked quickly as I looked back at Mr. Nam. I explained, "I was just surprised to see this again, Mr. Nam.""Again?" he asked, his brows furrowed.I nodded as I carefully reached for the bread. I smiled as I replied, "Haesung got me one from downstairs. He accompanied me to the Mail Department during his quick break. When he got himself more coffee from the lobby, he said the receptionists were giving away free supplies.""Ah, I see," he nodded as he answered in a monotone manner. He continued, "Well, this was from a new business partner of ours. They were a newly-established bakery. Most of the time, I don't just accept very new companies. But since chocolate bread is your favourite, I figured that I'd partner with them."My eyes widened as my head shot up. I looked at him, confused.

    Immediately, I grabbed his wrist and my brows furrowed.Mr. Nam stood still for a bit, shocked with my reaction. He let out a deep breath and slowly retracted his arm. A sigh escaped his lips as he placed a hand on my knee. "I'm sorry. That was disrespectful of me," he said as he looked straight into my eyes.I then said, "Mr. Nam, you can't keep doing these unusual things towards me. You said it yourself, too many people know you. Too many eyes can easily spot what you do and create untrue stories about you. I just started working here and I don't want to cause any more trouble than what I already had with Minju. I just need an explanation for everything so I can understand and move on."But, Mingyu, I can't. Not now."Chills ran down my spine and arms as my name escaped his lips. It was the first time that Mr. Nam has ever used my first name in a conversation. And I never thought that the day would come where he would talk to me using my given name.He proceeded with his explanation

    As everybody stood from their seats, I looked back to Soyoung and she was worried. I smiled at her as my reassurance that I was going to be okay. She nodded faintly before she left the room.Once the doors were closed properly, Mr. Kim moved closer to me and lowered his voice, “How are you, Miss Ryuk? I hope the new rules didn’t terrify you.”My lips folded into a firm line as I shrugged. “With all honesty, Mr. Kim, I was scared for a moment. I never expected that I would be seeing a firmer side of Mr. Nam that quickly. And I think the same goes for everybody else,” I explained.“Well, Miss Ryuk, you’re not wrong about that. This is the first time that Mr. Nam went to great lengths to keep everyone in their places. Especially with what Miss Chun has done towards you,” he said.“But why is he only implementing such rules now? You said it yourself, Mr. Kim. Minju has done too many offenses at this point. I’m surprised that she wasn’t fired already. Mr. Nam has explained to me why has to

    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

    "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
