From the first day at work, Do Hyuk seemed to have attached himself to his job like a restless ghost, using the excuse of understanding the tasks to undermine the selfesteem of each team member one by one.
In just one day, he managed to make every employee feel the urge to quit, so if that was a skill, it was certainly a skill.
Thanks to his strong first impression, the team members were actually grateful that Do Hyuk never mixed words outside of work, even skipping welcome dinners.
Anyway, since that day, there was no peace in Product Planning Team 1.
Especially for Jae In, who was burdened with so much work by Do Hyuk, even staying late to work became suffocating as the workload kept piling up.
Although I wanted to argue that he was doing too much, considering my own mistakes and the fact that Do Hyuk dedicated himself to work until late hours, I decided to give up completely.
“Team Leader Seo, is there something you’ve done to upset the Team Leader?”
“NNo, nothing like that.”
“That’s strange. He’s always persistent, but it seems like he’s even more relentless towards you, Team Leader Seo.”
Park, the oblivious manager, scratched at Jae In’s sore spot without a care.
He knew the reason all too well.
The problem was just that she hadn’t completed her probation.
Jae In immediately apologized for her slip of the tongue and worked diligently as if to prove herself, but Do Hyuk still had an unsatisfied look.
For example, last week when Jae In was late because the bus she was on had a minor accident.
Do Hyuk raised his voice, specifically targeting the fact that she was 11 minutes late.
“Why is it that only Team Leader Seo’s bus had an accident?”
“I’m sorry for being late. The bus I was going to transfer to was delayed…”
“In that situation, didn’t you think about taking a taxi instead of the bus?”
Honestly, she hadn’t. How much does a taxi cost anyway?
The problem was Do Hyuk’s reaction when Kang Na Hee, the assistant who followed him, said she was late because she couldn’t find a parking spot.
Do Hyuk silently passed by Na Hee and entered the team leader’s office.
In that moment, a sense of relief and victory appeared on Na Hee’s face, which had been filled with tension.
“What’s this? The team leader is so lenient with Assistant Kang? It’s frustrating, Team Leader Seo,” Na Hee said.
Thanks to Manager Park’s rude impertinence, who even went as far as confirming Na Hee’s excuse, Jae In felt even more bitter.
It had been over a hundred days since she had been tormented by Do Hyuk like this. During that time, all that remained for Jae In, who had persevered, was the glorious chronic fatigue and frustration.
“Team Leader Seo, are you lost in thought right now?”
“Huh? Oh, I’m sorry!”
Jae In suddenly regained her senses under Do Hyuk’s pitiful gaze.
“If you have the luxury to be lost in thought during a meeting, then focus more on your work.”
Luxury? Is that what he calls it?
Jae In felt her anger welling up.
“What luxury? Can’t you see that I’m barely breathing because of your relentless demands? Give me a break as a human being! I work overtime every day, and there’s never enough time! If I die of overwork, will you take responsibility, you jerk!”
She wanted to pour out her frustrations and lash out, but payday was just around the corner.
“I’ll tolerate it one more time, as if my throat is a grape seed.”
But Do Hyuk had no idea about the boiling anger in Jae In’s heart, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care. He threw one last bomb.
“Are you aware that even the higherups are interested in diet products? It’s not working out. I need to check the progress, so let’s meet this Saturday.”
“On Saturday?”
Jae In doubted her own ears.
That day, which was so busy that Jae In couldn’t even catch her breath, was the day she met her friend Yura after a long time.
But on a golden weekend like this, to top it off, she had to have a ruthless work meeting with the terrifying team leader?
“Please tell me you’re joking!”
In the eyes of her sympathetic teammates, Jae In felt a surge of frustration.
She couldn’t continue to be helpless like this.
“Team leader, Saturday is not possible…”
In that moment, Do Hyuk’s icy gaze pierced Jae In.
Suck! With her entire body on edge, Jae In swallowed the words she couldn’t say. And reluctantly, in a voice as small as an ant’s, she replied.
“…I’ll see you on Saturday.”
“Let’s meet at 9 a.m.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Thud. Do Hyuk closed the file folder and spoke.
“Let’s call it a day. There’s no point in continuing the meeting. Everyone, revise the issues raised today and submit them by tomorrow.”
At the mention of tomorrow, everyone became lifeless and stood up from their seats.
In her eagerness to escape from Do Hyuk’s radar as soon as possible, Jae In swiftly opened the door to the meeting room.
That’s when a calm voice caught hold of Jae In’s ankle.
“Team Leader Seo, please stay for a moment.”
“…Yes?”
What could it be again?
