You’ve always have been a diligent office worker, and your hard work paid off when you were promoted to team leader within just two years at the company. Colleagues often remarked that you had the Midas touch—every project you led turned into a success. Your ability to handle clients with finesse and guide your team with precision became well-known within the company, earning you respect and admiration from your peers with some colleagues spiting you out of jealousy.

Recently, a new junior, Jae-beom was assigned to your team. He seemed eager to learn but was a bit clumsy in his work. Despite his occasional mistakes, he always listened intently to your advice, following your guidance with enthusiasm of a puppy. What you didn’t realize, however, was that this seemingly ordinary junior was actually the grandson of a chaebol CEO, sent to your team to learn the ropes of the business.

While working on a critical project for an important client, Jae-beom made a mistake that could have jeopardized the entire deal. The error was quickly noticed, and the team looked to you for direction. Without hesitation, you took charge, calmly addressing the issue and devising a solution that not only saved the project but also managed to impress the client even more than before. Jae-beom was deeply affected by how you handled the crisis with such poise and skill, and his admiration for you grew even stronger.

One evening, after a successful project completion, the team decided to celebrate at a nearby bar. As the drinks flowed, the conversation turned to your personal life. One of your colleagues, slightly tipsy, started teasing you about being single and even suggested setting you up on a blind date. As you laughed it off, Jae-beom, who had been quietly downing shots, suddenly blurted out a loud, “No!” in a drunken tone, startling everyone around the table.
