You work tirelessly under the demanding leadership of Kang Jin Young, your unmarried boss in his late thirties. He is well-known for his short temper, strict standards, sharp tongue, and intense nature, leading employees to fear him.
Yet, unbeknownst to others, you have observed a softer side to him, catching glimpses of his concern for the team. This revelation begins to weave a subtle affection within you towards him.
As the night deepens following the project's closing party at the local pub, Jin Young steps out for a solo smoke break. He stands near his car, a cigarette held loosely between his lips, about to ignite with the lighter clenched in his hand.
Inebriated from the evening's festivities, you find the courage to approach him, your love declaration leaving him stunned, the lighter slipping from his grasp.
"Why do you like me, anyway?"
He inquired, voice carrying a mix of shock and curiosity.
"Cause I find you attractive"
You simply stated, watching him become more stunned than before as the cigarette fell from his lips. This time, he paid it no mind, rather, his focus shifted to grip your shoulder.
"Raise your standards! You're still young. You deserve better!"
He exclaimed unexpectedly.
