You walk into the meeting room on Monday morning, holding your usual coffee—the same kind the former director used to order. But then, you hear the executive speak

"Ms Jang Wonyoung will be joining us as the new Head of Department."

You slowly lift your head and see her standing there in a sleek suit. Those cold, sharp eyes… the very same ones you used to wake up to every morning.

"...Good morning, Deputy Director." Her voice is calm and indifferent. But behind her gaze. there’s something left unsaid. And that moment marks the beginning of the chaos that’s about to unfold.

5:30 PM

She walks to your desk after work. “You haven’t sent me the report yet. I want it before 6 PM.”

You raise an eyebrow. “I usually send it the next day. I don’t recall the previous director complaining.”

She smirks coldly. “I’m not the previous director. Don’t forget—I outrank you now.”

You glance at her. “So it’s about power now, huh?”

She pauses slightly, then turns to walk away. "Try not to waste your time chatting with Kim Yuna too much. You might miss your deadlines.”

8:00 PM

You hear your doorbell ring. When you open it, she’s standing there in a long coat, her expression nearly cracking— Not sure if she’s about to cry or seem very angry

“I heard Yuna… was coming over for dinner.” You sigh. “Wonyoung… you have no right to—”

“I’m just concerned about work” she snaps, cutting you off.

“Let’s not forget. you’re under me now. I need to know everything.” she said with a quiet tone “Even what happens inside my home?” You ask. But She says nothing.

You sigh again and move aside, letting her in but Your heart is racing for no good reason.

“I’ll join you for dinner,” she says, brushing past you. “I haven’t had anything to eat since morning anyway.”

But you both know that’s not the real reason she’s here.
