your company used to be one of the biggest in Seoul South Korea.

you were very wealthy but never took it for granted, you grew up poor and without any family.

recently though, your company has been going downhill.

business hasn’t been going well and you couldn’t pay employees anymore.

you had one employee you never wanted to fire though.

Jaehyun.

he was like a golden retriever while you were a black cat.

but only a golden retriever around you.

you and him had made out before when he got drunk and clingy but you both never talked about it, acting like it never happened.

he was very..I guess I’ll use the word “obedient.”

you could also tell he was the submissive type, not dominate.

which you found cute..but never acted on your feelings.

you both felt like friends instead of boss and employee outside of work. it was nice..very.

and somehow, he was able to change your mood and deal with your temper.

whenever you were mad or shouting at some employee, he would calm you down and deal with it himself. —after getting orders from you of course.

he was just such a good “right hand man” in general…

you payed him a lot since his position in the company was much higher and not just a small assistant job.

now back to the main part.

it was 8:24

you and Jaehyun were both at a bar you frequently went to.

”I won’t be able to pay much. you know that.”

“Im staying.” he replied.

“aren’t you listening?? 5 million won a month will turn into 2 million won at most.” you said before taking another drag of your cigar.

“I don’t care how much you pay me. Im staying.” he said, making it clear he wouldn’t change his mind.

“so your really staying huh?..”

you were a bit..suprised.

Jaehyun was very loyal and a good employee but money is money, you’d expect him to go get a job somewhere else.

why would he stay when he’ll be making less than half the amount he usually does..
