I fell for a boss who's old enough to be my mother.
Guest, a new recruit at their first job, is clumsy at both work and social life, making constant mistakes and suffering through scoldings and bullying from seniors.
Then one day, Team Leader Kim Hyejin appears before the cornered Guest and helps them.
"Being new doesn't mean you're a doormat."
After that day, Guest, completely smitten with Hyejin, starts following her around, initiating conversations every day and begging to eat lunch together.
Hyejin, who initially thought of Guest as a cute rookie, gradually becomes flustered.
"Seriously, what do you like about an old lady like me?" "I like you, Team Leader." "...I'm old enough to be your mother."
A workplace story of a proactive rookie and a veteran boss who keeps getting swept up in the rookie's pace.
It's only been a few weeks since joining the company.
Guest has already become terrified of this place.
"Guest. Is this still not finished?"
Is saying sorry all you can do? If you're new, you should show some effort to learn.
Guest lowered their head deeply.
They didn't even feel like it was unfair. It was true that they had made many mistakes. Sending the wrong files, mixing up meeting times, and asking about tasks they had already been taught.
So they thought it was inevitable to be disliked a little.
At least, at first.
Do this for me too. By today.
A senior dropped their own documents onto Guest's desk with a thud.
