A Beastly Boss (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 3
Why is Chan Jeong here?
Seul Hee froze, stunned to see her boyfriend with someone unexpected.
Could it be someone else? Why is Chan Jeong here with Team Leader Lee?
The familiar faces composing an utterly unfamiliar scene made Seul Hee doubt her eyes.
Could it be a company dinner? Maybe all the coworkers came together.
Holding onto the faintest thread of hope, she turned her head to look for other employees—but there were only the two of them.
And that wasn’t all.
“Nuna.”
Nuna? Were those two really close enough to call each other “older sister” and “younger sibling”? But the shocking words didn’t end there.
“You can stay out late tonight, right?”
Chan Jeong whispered sweetly into Do Young’s ear. The sound tickled her, and she shrank her shoulders with a flushed face.
One of Chan Jeong’s hands was wrapped around Do Young’s waist. The distance between their tightly pressed bodies was zero centimeters.
It was simply impossible to believe this was just a team leader and an employee out for dinner.
Just as Seul Hee hurriedly tried to slip away down the alley, Eun Woo gently grabbed her arm and stopped her.
“Ms. Yoo Seul Hee.”
“Yes.”
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.” She had meant to say that.
But the couple’s actions—acting as if they were lovers—robbed her of words.
As she stood there, lips parting soundlessly, Do Young and Chan Jeong, who had been heading toward the restaurant, suddenly stopped in their tracks. Do Young looked over at Seul Hee, brushed back her hair, and gave a bright smile.
“Oh my.”
Do Young’s voice was smooth and mocking.
“Well, look who it is—Ms. Seul Hee, isn’t it?”
She raised her eyebrows as she greeted her.
“How delightful to run into you here.”
The drawn-out tone was infuriating.
Delighted? Delighted, she says?
At work, Do Young had treated Seul Hee like a thorn in her eye, even for simply breathing.
Even when Seul Hee quit and was packing up to leave,
“Thank you for everything until now.”
“It feels a bit odd saying this as you’re leaving, but it’s like having a painful tooth pulled. Take care on your way out.”
Do Young had coldly replied to her polite farewell.
They’d been sworn enemies—but now she was “delighted”?
Unlike Do Young, whose face lit up at the sight of Seul Hee, Chan Jeong’s expression beside her hardened instantly.
“Se-Seul Hee? What are you doing here?”
“……”
“What brings you here all of a sudden?”
“I’d like to ask you the same thing.”
A strained voice slipped from Seul Hee’s throat.
That morning, she’d habitually sent Chan Jeong a “Good morning” message—but it still hadn’t lost its “1” unread indicator.
She’d assumed he was just busy with work. After all, they’d been together since college—a long-standing couple. Their relationship wasn’t fiery or passionate, but it was built on trust.
Or so she’d believed. Yet…
Seul Hee’s eyes fell on Chan Jeong’s hand wrapped around the team leader’s waist. He awkwardly withdrew it with a sheepish smile.
“I didn’t know you’d be here.”
“I didn’t know either. If you’d just checked your phone, you’d have known I was here.”
“Well, I…”
“I thought you were just busy with work.”
Seul Hee’s voice dropped coldly.
“I had no idea you were busy with something else.”
She’d considered the possibility—maybe something like this could happen.
Chan Jeong and Seul Hee weren’t exactly lovers anymore; they’d grown closer to friends. Their relationship had simply continued from college into their jobs, neither breaking up nor burning with passion.
So when Seul Hee left the company, she’d braced herself for their bond to fade—not just physically, but emotionally too.
But she never imagined it would be with the team leader.
When Do Young had tormented her at work, no one had witnessed it more clearly than Chan Jeong himself.
“Why does the team leader keep picking on me like this?”
“Who cares? That awful woman.”
Whenever Seul Hee complained about the team leader, Chan Jeong—uncharacteristically—would pepper his replies with curses to console her. That had been the only thing helping her endure the painful office life.
Yet that same Chan Jeong now called her “nuna,” suggested staying out late together, and had his hand wrapped around her waist.
Infidelity—what else could it possibly be?
“It’s not like that, Seul Hee. It’s just that the team leader and I… we’re close.”
Do Young stepped between them.
“Ms. Seul Hee, I think there’s been some misunderstanding.”
Since Seul Hee and Chan Jeong were a famous couple even within the company, Do Young knew about their relationship.
She smiled brightly and continued,
“We’re not like that. We’re just affectionate like older sister and younger sibling, that’s all.”
Even as she said this, Do Young leaned her body toward Chan Jeong, who was trying to move away from her—
as if deliberately displaying their closeness.
“Ha.”
It was utterly absurd. Seul Hee stood speechless for a long while, lips moving without sound, until she finally took a step forward.
“Fine. We’ll talk later.”
Her mind wouldn’t focus enough to confront them properly. At the unusually cold tone in Seul Hee’s voice, Chan Jeong looked troubled.
“Seul Hee, it’s really not what you think.”
But she had nothing more to say.
She needed to cool her head. Otherwise, she felt she might truly collapse. Seul Hee lifted her gaze to Eun Woo.
He was watching her, brows furrowed, his expression asking, “Are you okay?” She wanted to explain something—but her mind had gone blank.
“Teacher… I’ll go ahead first. I’ll go…”
Leaving behind her fragmented words, Seul Hee brushed past him and ran down the alleyway.
***
How long had she run?
When Seul Hee’s legs finally gave out from exhaustion, she heard Chan Jeong’s voice behind her.
“Seul Hee!”
She tried to avoid him, but this time Chan Jeong was faster. His hand roughly grabbed her shoulder.
“What are you going to do if you just leave like this!”
“What?”
“You’ve misunderstood, haven’t you? What if you walk away believing that misunderstanding?”
What misunderstanding could there possibly be?
Even when Seul Hee had quit, Chan Jeong had called Do Young a piece of trash.
“Ugh, seriously disgusting. Is this team leader even sane?”
Sometimes his words had even crossed into vulgar insults—so harsh they made Seul Hee uncomfortable. Of course, he’d only say those things when they were alone, since Do Young was their superior.
But the way he’d just been cozying up to the team leader was completely unlike the Chan Jeong she knew.
“What misunderstanding? It seems pretty clear to me.”
“It’s not like that. Didn’t you hear what the team leader—no, what nuna just said?”
Nuna?
Since when had you and the team leader become close enough to call each other “nuna” and “dongsaeng”?
“Nuna? Did you get yourself a new older sister I didn’t know about?”
Seeing Seul Hee’s stunned disbelief, Chan Jeong shook his head.
“I misspoke. I mean, the team leader and I really aren’t anything special.”
“Nothing special, yet the two of you came to a place like this for dinner?”
“We were working overtime today, and the team leader offered me a ride home, so she suggested grabbing a bite first. That’s all—we just came to eat.”
But the restaurant Eun Woo had brought her to today was run by a famous chef who’d even appeared on television.
It wasn’t the kind of place you just “grab a bite” at.
“You expect me to believe that?”
“So you’re saying I’ve cheated on you?”
“……”
Chan Jeong himself knew the answer better than anyone.
“Don’t you trust me at all? Don’t you know me? After all the years we’ve been together?”
Seul Hee shook her head at Chan Jeong’s words.
“Yes, I don’t know you anymore, Chan Jeong.”
“What?”
“How could you do this? I did wonder, when you stopped replying lately, whether there might be someone else…”
But she never imagined it would end this miserably.
“Fine, maybe it’s possible. We have been together a long time. But of all people—why her?”
Chan Jeong had been more than a lover—he’d been an old friend she trusted. His betrayal cut deeper than she could bear.
“You might as well have cheated with some other woman! Why did it have to be Lee Do Young? Why the team leader!”
“I told you—it’s not like that! It’s just workplace politics. She holds all the power; I have to get along with her.”
She understood that as a subordinate, he had to stay on good terms with his boss. Exchanging words at company dinners, being kind during work hours—that, she could accept. But—
“Do you have to wrap your arms around her waist just to get on her good side? What kind of lunatic touches a woman like that when you’re not even involved?”
“…Seul Hee.”
“That’s enough. I have nothing more to say.”
Any more talking would only make her feel worse. Just as she tried to push forward, swallowing back tears that threatened to spill—
Chan Jeong reached out and grabbed her wrist.
“Ah! That hurts!”
“Hey, Yoo Seul Hee! Just listen to me for a—”
Kaa.
Chan Jeong’s shout was cut short before it could finish.
A man appeared—ten centimeters taller than Chan Jeong, lean but solid—and cast a shadow over him.
Then, a low, deep voice echoed through the alley.
“Let go of that hand.”
It was Eun Woo.
Startled by his unexpected appearance, Chan Jeong shrank back instantly.
“What—what the hell?”
Chan Jeong raised his voice, trying to sound tough, but he was clearly flustered.
“I said let go.”
“What’s it to you?”
Despite Chan Jeong’s words, Eun Woo only narrowed his eyes and stood his ground without budging. Chan Jeong glared up at Eun Woo’s composed face.
“Seul Hee, weren’t you the one cheating? You were with some guy in that restaurant.”
“What?”
Seul Hee’s face instantly flushed crimson.
She’d forgotten in the chaos of running into Chan Jeong, but now she remembered—Eun Woo had just asked her to be his girlfriend.
Of course, they’d talked about dating—but she hadn’t known anything about coming to the restaurant today, nor that Eun Woo would bring up dating.
And what about Mr. Ok?
He hadn’t even known she had a boyfriend.
This was completely different from Do Young, who’d flaunted her relationship with Chan Jeong despite knowing Seul Hee was his girlfriend, or from Chan Jeong, who’d put his hand on the team leader’s waist and whispered sweetly to her.
But Chan Jeong didn’t miss the flash of panic that crossed Seul Hee’s face.
“See? You’re acting suspicious.”
Chan Jeong’s fingers dug into the soft skin of Seul Hee’s wrist.
In that instant, his nails pressed hard enough to leave red marks on her skin.
“I told you to let go of that hand.”
Eun Woo calmly lifted Chan Jeong’s arm instead, applying pressure.
“Aaah!”
Chan Jeong involuntarily released Seul Hee. He screamed in pain as his arm twisted, but Eun Woo showed no sign of letting up.
“You—what the hell are you, you bastard?”
Ignoring his question, Eun Woo turned to Seul Hee.
“Are you all right?”
Seul Hee stood frozen, her hand still raised, staring blankly at Eun Woo. Her mouth hung half-open in shock.
“Ms. Yoo Seul Hee, are you okay?”
When he asked again, she nodded.
“Yes, yes, teacher. I’m fine.”
“You’re not letting go of my arm?”
“I don’t feel like it.”
“I’m Seul Hee’s boyfriend. If you’ve got nothing to do with her, then get lost.”
Chan Jeong struggled, trapped in Eun Woo’s grip. He was much smaller than Eun Woo and clearly no match for his strength.
Eun Woo let out a short, amused laugh and released his arm. The momentum sent Chan Jeong tumbling to the ground. Still sprawled on the pavement, he looked up at Eun Woo, who stepped closer.
“If you’re her boyfriend, does that mean you can treat your girlfriend however you like?”
Answer me.
“How dare you—”
“……”
“—lay a hand on Ms. Yoo Seul Hee.”
Under Eun Woo’s overwhelming presence—so intense it felt like he might shatter him on the spot—Chan Jeong was left speechless.
