The start of the week, Monday. It was timed for when employees were setting up their work environment and actively connecting to the intranet. That way, the rumor would spread in all directions without a moment’s delay.
Soon, the world was about to be in an uproar with eyewitness accounts of Tae Min Hyuk taking Eun Seo Woo, an employee, up to the suite.
Facing such an event, one couldn’t not see that guy’s face beforehand.
“Let’s go to Tae Min Hyuk’s company.”
“Huh? TH Foods?”
“Where else?”
“Why go there if you’re not working…”
The driver trailed off, and Min Chan raised his voice, sounding frustrated.
“I’m going because I want to see him. Just because I want to. Do I need a reason to see my brother’s face?”
“Still, it would be best if you were careful now…”
“Man, you talk too much. Just go.”
I had to take a good look at his smug face in advance.
“He dared to touch an innocent female employee, being the president and all, ha. Goodbye for real, Tae Min Hyuk.”
Once everything crumbled, I might even miss that arrogant face.
Min Chan hummed a tune as he looked out the car window. Seeing the morning landscape, he felt a desire to take in the fresh air and pressed the button to lower the window.
“Uhmm… the air feels great… huh, it’s cold, cold, cold.”
Startled by the biting wind, Min Chan shivered.
Will it really be okay? The driver looked worried as he watched Min Chan through the rearview mirror.

The office apartment complex in Cheongdamdong.
Han Cha Woong, who was waiting as usual at the entrance of Tae Min Hyuk’s house, was taken aback when he saw him walk out.
“What is that, in your hand?”
“What do you mean ‘what?’ It’s just as you see.”
He replied nonchalantly as he got into the backseat.
“I’m not asking because I don’t know, but why…”
“Like a truly loved woman, happily.”
Tae Min Hyuk recited what Cha Woong had said.
“As you told me. To Eun Seo Woo.”
Cha Woong was surprised, as he didn’t expect he’d go this far. He stared blankly.
“Aren’t we leaving?”
“Ye, Yes.”
Their car also started towards TH Foods.
It was a morning mixed with the fresh energy of the cold wind.
◇ ◆ ◇
“Good morning.”
It was a morning like any other.
Standing in front of the lobby desk, Eun Seo Woo greeted the employees with a bright face.
“Oh, it’s so cold today.”
The Design Team Manager Yoon paused on his way to talk to Seo Woo.
“Yes. The cold wave has made it even colder.”
In particular, the winter shift in the lobby was challenging due to the cold. Even though it wasn’t outdoors, there was no way to block the chill entering through the entrance of the open space. The afternoon, when sunlight streamed in, was a bit better, but early mornings were extremely cold.
“Did the meal with the President go well?”
“Yes, it went well.”
“I’ll come down later. Please tell me more.”
Manager Yoon, also an ‘evening dinner with the president’ veteran, seemed quite curious about Seo Woo’s experience, the last one in line.
I drank wine, passed out, slept in a hotel, woke up in the morning, and the President proposed a relationship.
Even if there was no need to tell the truth to Manager Yoon, recalling the events only brought out a sigh. After pondering all weekend, she had concluded that a relationship with President Tae Min Hyuk was not going to work.
How to deliver the message was the problem. She couldn’t just go to the president’s office and ask to see him.
“Then, take care.”
“Yes, you go ahead.”
She was just bidding farewell to Manager Yoon.
The revolving door in the distant lobby started to turn slowly.
It was always the same time. Even the surrounding air changed, she didn’t need to see who it was, it was that time.
“What? Is that really the president?”
“What’s that in his hand?”
“Are they shooting a movie now?”
“Wow… it’s an advertisement, an advertisement.”
Admiring voices scattered here and there.
Soon, even those sounds faded into the distance. The light in Seo Woo’s world went out with a snap, and darkness fell. A bright light swallowed up the darkness and poured down like a waterfall.
At the end of the lobby, President Tae Min Hyuk, and towards her.
The light connected and it felt as if only he and she existed in the world.
Following the light, Tae Min Hyuk walked towards her. Seo Woo’s heart dropped and started to race uncontrollably.
“Miss Eun Seo Woo.”
Tae Min Hyuk, who had walked up to her, extended a very large bouquet of flowers he was holding.
“Let’s have lunch together later. What do you like?”
Overwhelmed by the dizzying scent of the flowers, Seo Woo felt faint.
