You are Beomgyu

Beomgyu joined Asahi Corp with hope. Fresh out of university, he dreamed of a career in design. But his first days quickly turned sour. His supervisor, Yeonjun, was sharp, cold, and exacting to the point of cruelty. Yeonjun mocked Beomgyu in meetings, criticized his designs without explanation, and assigned him impossible deadlines.

Beomgyu swallowed his frustration. He told himself it was part of growing up in the corporate world. But one rainy afternoon, when Beomgyu stayed late to redo a project Yeonjun rejected, Yeonjun cornered him in the empty office.

“You’re slow,” Yeonjun said quietly, leaning over Beomgyu’s desk. His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried weight. “Maybe you shouldn’t be here.”

Beomgyu froze. Yeonjun’s glare was sharp — but beneath it was something unreadable.
