Shin Yeon, holding her usual coffee from the cafe in front of the company, walked into the building.
Among the bustling crowd, she exchanged light nods with familiar faces and scanned her employee card.
Beep.
Then suddenly. She looked down at her name printed on the employee card.
Han Shin Planning, Strategic Planning Team 1, Manager Shin Yeon.
The employee card still felt unfamiliar.
After graduating, Shin Yeon had been preparing for her PhD.
She was a full scholarship student from an elite university.
There wasn’t a classmate who didn’t know that she had been preparing to become a professor since her undergraduate days.
But Shin Yeon, who had completed her master’s degree, suddenly stopped pursuing her PhD.

“Good morning, Manager Shin.”
“Uh, hello.”
She immediately joined ‘Han Shin Planning’, an advertising company renowned for its strict performanceoriented approach among large corporations.
It was a special recruitment as an assistant manager, acknowledging her experience of participating in a project after winning the grand prize in the Han Shin Planning competition during her master’s program.
Since then, she had immersed herself in work like a madwoman and was promoted to manager faster than anyone else.
As if being chased by something, it was a time entirely devoted to success.
She believed that her life, now that she had turned thirty, was going well.
At least until this morning.
Thud.
As the gate opened, Shin Yeon, hanging her employee card around her neck, headed towards the elevator.
“It’s crazy again today…….”
The elevator line during morning rush hour was hell.
Why doesn’t this rich company increase the number of elevators?

It’s killing me every morning.
“Good morning, Manager Shin.”
The elevator that opened was already filled with people who had come up from the basement parking lot.
Shin Yeon, who had barely squeezed into the few remaining spots, ran into an unpleasant figure.
“What do you mean, ‘good morning’ between us.”
Manager Kim Jae Hee.
Her college classmate, and someone like a nemesis.
Shin Yeon, who joined the company as a special recruit after finishing her master’s degree, was promoted to the position of manager at the same time as her, even though she joined the company later.
Their relationship, which had already been at odds since college, turned into a total enemy after joining the company.
“Senior Jin Woo. You’re back in Korea?”
What a hit this morning.
Of course, I recognized him the moment he greeted me cheerfully.
Shin Yeon felt as if her fresh morning had been completely ruined.

The narrow elevator felt even more suffocating.
“Looks like you didn’t know, judging by your expression?”
Park Jin Woo.
Her exboyfriend, with whom she dated for 6 years since college, and broke up on the verge of marriage.
Exactly a week after the breakup, he left for the United States.
“Isn’t it weirder not to know?”
Shin Yeon failed to hide her surprise from the sudden attack, but her voice remained calm.
“Why, he was someone you were about to marry.”
The elevator filled with murmurs as soon as she finished speaking.
It was an elevator filled with company people on their way to work.
Kim Jae Hee, you’re asking for it.
“Manager Kim. How’s Deputy Seo from Sales Team 2 doing these days?”
“Why?”
“I thought you lived checking on every man you’ve ever dated.”
Once again, the air in the elevator heated up at Shin Yeon’s words.
“Oh my, really unbelievable. I mean, really.”
Shin Yeon snickered at the fuming Kim Jae Hee.

She must still think I’m that naive old Shin Yeon.
Discussing the past, aren’t you more colorful than me who dated one guy for a long time?
Don’t carelessly open your mouth, talking about the past, as if it’s something to be proud of.
Ding.
The elevator arrived at the 15th floor, and both Shin Yeon and Jae Hee hurriedly stepped out of the doors.
“Shin Yeon, have you lost your mind!?”
“Hey Kim Jae Hee. You started it!”
As soon as the elevator doors closed, they both raised their voices at each other as if they had agreed to do so.
“It’s been a hundred years since I broke up with Deputy Seo?! Why are you bringing up his name!”
“You were the one who started the name dropping, okay? Why on earth are you bringing up the senior’s story!”
“They don’t know Senior Jin Woo! Everyone knows Deputy Seo from the sales team!”
“Everyone knows I got divorced? Why are you digging up someone’s divorce in the elevator, causing a scene!”
But then.
Swoosh.
The elevator doors that were thought to have closed, opened again.
“Ah, I’m sorry. It was crowded….”
The one who squeezed through the open doors was the newbie that Shin Yeon had run into in the morning.

He seemed to be at the end of the space, unable to get off in time, and opened the door late.
“Ah….”
That meant the elevator had been stopped all along, and everyone had heard their entire conversation.
Well then. We’re screwed.
“Uh, how long have you been here?”
“Since before you got on? Ah, I park my bicycle in the basement.”
It’s not just screwed. It’s completely screwed.
