Narae then turned to me with a scowl. "You did this!" she pointed at me as she headed towards me. Mr. Kim put his arms out and prevented her from coming nearer. She continued, "You spoiled our fun! You ruined the night! Why do you have to ruin everything that we do?! You embarrassed us in front of everyone! Our friends, the police and more random people that we don't know!""If I didn't do anything, Narae!" I shouted. "And even if I did call the police, it was for the best! Your children were in danger! And all you can still think about is being embarrassed?!" I continued. "Your children were offered drugs and were almost assaulted. And you still think about your so-called friends here?!" I exclaimed as I pointed at the men. "True friends don't harm their friends' kids, okay?! Get that through your head!""Oh, stop it, Mingyu," Jaeyun entered the conversation. She looked to our direction and continued, "We already know how high and mighty you are. You don't have to act that way."My b

The elevator door finally opened and I stepped out without a fuss. I greeted the receptionist and she replied, "Good luck for today."I stopped before the glass door and turned to her. "What do you mean?" I asked.She gestured for me to come closer so I walked back to her. As soon as I reached her, she said, "Someone from the lower department just left and said that the office was in a bit of a chaos.""Really? Why? What happened?" I asked."He didn't say. But he just said that something went down inside," she replied.I nodded and answered, "Thank you for the early morning. At least, I'll know how to react and avoid further trouble.""No worries," she giggled.I headed to the glass door again. I grabbed onto the door handle, took in a deep breath and entered the room with caution.---*---*---*---I walked into the office and as expected, everybody was on their best behavior because Mr. Nam was in. All eyes were on me as I walked over towards my desk. Soyoung and I smiled at one anoth

"Uh, can we help you?" Soyoung asked sarcastically.One of them turned to me and remarked, "Are you happy now? You got our friend suspended for a week. I hope you're satisfied.""For your information, I never intended to get anyone suspended. I come to work, solely to do the job I was told to do. It's not my fault that your friend acted recklessly," I replied as I rolled my eyes."Well, if she's not happy that Minju got suspended, I am," Soyoung interrupted with a smirk.My eyes widened as I turned to her.She smiled at me before she looked at Minju's friends. I turned to them as well and they were even more furious because of what Soyoung said. Soyoung continued, "With all honesty, her suspension is long overdue. After everything she has done in this office to Mr. Nam's previous employees - especially the secretaries - I'm surprised that she wasn't removed yet."She continued, "You should be thankful that Mr. Nam still had mercy on her. You don't have to be angry. Your almighty leade

---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---"Born in the same atmosphere as one another, we were destined to be in the same circle of friends. It just so happens that her mom and my dad used to be college buddies. Therefore, our families were really close."Right from the get-go, Minju was the friendly one. In every party that we went to, she was the one who had a lot of friends. I was happy being alone most of the time. But after all of our friends moved out of the country, I was left with her."Needless to say, I followed her around because I had no one to talk to. And she was more than happy to accomodate me at school. And she would always defend me from students who bullied me for my silence."Over time, our friendship grew and I couldn't help but develop stronger feelings towards her. However, my parents had to move to a different continent for an expansion of the business."But my feelings for her never went away. It actually got stronger as I spent more time away from her. I longed to see

He went out to get more coffee for himself. The coffee machine in the Mail Department was broken so he had to go to the lobby.When I turned to his direction, he held not only a full cup of coffee but a sealed, packaged bread as well.He handed it to me and continued, "The receptionists were giving away free bread. They said they were samples from a new business partner. I thought you might like it."My mouth watered as soon as the packaged treat landed in my hands. It was a soft, round, dark brown bread with powder on top of it. I asked whilst looking at it, "Did they say what flavor this was?""They said it was some kind of chocolate bread. The white powder is powdered sugar," he explained."Chocolate bread??" I grinned from ear to ear, excitement filling up my body. Chocolate bread has to be one of my favorite snacks. Whoever the new business partner was, I would probably need to ask Mr. Nam because of this certain bread.Haesung giggles as he remarked, "I can see that you love thi
