"Yes, ma’am. Hello." Myeongeun's mother bowed deeply toward the grandmother. The grandmother slowly got up and approached Myeongeun and her mother. She kneeled down with an "oof" and sat to meet Myeongeun’s gaze. Instinctively, Myeongeun grabbed her mother’s thigh and hid behind her. The grandmother had a warm smile, but there was an undeniable aura around her that made Myeongeun feel tense. "Myeongeun, come and say hello," her mother encouraged, gently guiding Myeongeun forward. "So, you're…-

Twenty-nine, or to put it another way, the cursed age. It was the first Tuesday of December, and the dreaded age loomed just around the corner. "The Section Chief says we should all gather in the conference room because the Department Head is coming in." Ten minutes after Assistant Manager Lee sent this message through the company messenger, six employees from the General Affairs Office gathered in the conference room. Ten more minutes passed, and the Department Head entered with an extremely tall…

Even when you tell the truth, the frustration and despair when the other person doesn’t believe you is something Myeongeun understood well. However, using someone’s disbelief as an excuse for violence was foolish, so he didn’t want to blindly defend Kwon Jinhwan. Myeongeun simply glanced up at Jinhwan. “……Alright. Next.” He quickly looked down and moved on to the next item. Though he didn’t want to defend Jinhwan, he also didn’t enjoy seeing him smile in that bitter,…

“Well, at least mentoring counts towards your performance evaluation score, so try to manage it without too much stress. That’s the hardest part, though.” Manager Lee wasn’t the warmest person, but he was one to offer support when he felt his colleagues needed it. “Manager.” After a brief pause, Myeongeun asked, “Have you heard anything about Kwon Jinhwan?” “Heard anything?” “Yes. I was wondering if you heard anything about him joining the office today.” Manager…

“I did mention this earlier, didn’t I?” The Manager looked at Kwon Jinhwan with a gentle smile. “Assistant Manager Go here will be in charge of your training, Jinhwan-ssi.” Jinhwan stared at Myeongeun before giving a slightly delayed, “Yes.” “I’m Go Myeongeun.” Myeongeun forced a smile in his direction, but there was no response. “Alright, Assistant Manager Go.” The Manager pushed a clipboard across the table toward Myeongeun. There was a note attached to…

“Uh, Deputy Head Manager…” “Of course, Myeongeun-ssi will receive a special allowance.” “No, that’s not what I wanted to discuss….” Myeongeun trailed off, hesitating with his words. Honestly, he was a bit tempted. The rent might be going up soon… Sensing Myeongeun’s reluctance, Kwon Jinhyeon tried appealing to his empathy this time. “I think if there’s anyone who can truly understand Hwan at this point, it’s you, Myeongeun-ssi.” “…Because of my past…

Jinhyeon paused for a moment before asking Myeongeun, “Why do you think I’m being so open about my family matters with you, Myeongeun-ssi?” From the moment Jinhyeon called him until now, Myeongeun had suspected the reason. He was being silenced. What happened yesterday couldn’t be explained logically or scientifically. Jinhyeon knew that too. Seeing Myeongeun’s response to the events, Jinhyeon probably judged that it was better to be frank, as Myeongeun seemed to have some understanding of…

— “I understand. If you’re free right now, can we meet for a moment at the cafeteria on the 10th floor?” Coincidentally, Myeongeun needed to check on the cafeteria today since he’d sent an email to all employees yesterday about cafeteria guidelines. “Sure, I’ll head down right away.” He hung up the phone and told Kim Junyoung, “I’ll go down to the cafeteria and check things.” Kim Junyoung looked pleased, as if he’d scored an unexpected bonus, and replied with a quick,…

It felt like a whole year’s worth of work had crammed into a single day, starting from the morning. Myeongeun was exhausted. He thought he’d fall asleep the moment he got in the taxi, but on the way home, he just leaned back against the seat, staring blankly out the window. When he got home, the hot water that had been acting up in the morning was working just fine. He figured a warm shower would make him sleepy, but even after warming up and lying on his cozy bed, sleep didn’t come. Myeongeun…

When Go Myeongeun looked at him with a questioning gaze, Kwon Jinhwan spoke up. “It’s funny that you call San Ho ‘Mr.’ like that. He’s still young.” As Myeongeun was fitting a key into the padlock on the metal gate of the warehouse, he shot a glance at Jinhwan. “Young?” “Yeah, really young. His appetite is huge, and if you’re not careful, he’ll try to eat just about anything. He’s still young and lacks self-control in many ways.” Apparently, Jinhwan had to tell him…
