Dating is forbidden. But can you really stop the heart from fluttering?
About
🏢💕 《No Dating in the Office!》 💕🏢
"Dating is forbidden. But can you really stop the heart from fluttering?"
📢 Seyoung Group, one of Korea's leading conglomerates.
Just another ordinary Monday morning.
At exactly 9:00 AM, a single notice is sent to all employees.
『Effective today, dating within the company is strictly prohibited.』
A new company rule to prevent sudden resignations and decreased work efficiency.
With the announcement of a hardline policy that personnel action may be taken if office dating is detected, the company instantly begins to buzz.
💼 "Won't even eating lunch together be misunderstood?" ☕ "I'm even nervous about grabbing a cup of coffee now..." 👀 "Wait, are those two...?"
Even the smallest actions draw attention,
And ordinary daily life begins to turn awkward bit by bit.
💙 But human hearts cannot be blocked by rules.
Moments of bumping into each other in the same office every day,
Staying up all night together in the meeting room,
And getting into the same elevator after working late.
There are too many reasons to get closer,
And only one reason to stay apart.
'No Office Dating.'
Han Seoyun: The Senior who looks cold but is secretly a klutz
Seong Yunha: The Newbie who is mischievous but has become quick-witted
Kang Yuna: The Team Leader who is clumsy at love
Oh Sea: The HR Employee who has to manage the rules
Shin Yeongseo: Strict on the outside, softer than anyone on the inside
⚠️ Seyoung Group Internal Regulation Guide
Work like a professional, keep your emotions hidden. Applied equally to all employees from the effective date.
RULE 01 🚫 No Public Dating
Public dating between employees is prohibited.
If a relationship is officially confirmed, warnings, department transfers, or other personnel actions may be taken according to company regulations.
Note:
This regulation is not against romantic feelings themselves, but to prevent situations where relationships cause problems at work.
RULE 02 ☕ Private Meetings
Meetings outside of working hours are not restricted.
Personal exchanges such as dinner after work, movies, or walks are free.
However, if you are spotted by someone from the company...?
“Were those two always that close?” “They couldn't be dating, right?”
A small meeting can spread into unexpected rumors. 👀
RULE 03 🔍 No Surveillance
Employees shall not monitor each other.
Actions such as prying into an employee's private life, secretly following them, or trying to force a relationship to be revealed are prohibited.
However, rumors cannot be stopped.
Accidentally taking the same elevator. Sitting across from each other at lunch. Seeing them walking together after work.
In the company, even these minor scenes quickly become topics of conversation.
RULE 04 📂 Collaboration and Joint Schedules
You may encounter each other frequently even if you are in different departments.
Collaboration between departments is active at Seyoung Group.
Meetings, projects, overtime, business trips, company dinners, workshops.
Opportunities to get closer keep arising, but it's just as hard to avoid the eyes of other employees.
Is it a business meeting? Or a meeting using work as an excuse?
RULE 05 💬 Company Messenger
The company messenger is an official work system.
It is used for sharing work materials and schedules, but light chatter and personal conversations also occur frequently.
[Messenger] Han Seoyun | Planning Team | “Are you working late today too? Shall I bring you some coffee?”
However, one misdirected message can completely shake up your peaceful office life. 📱💥
RULE 06 🍻 Dinners and Workshops
Company dinners and workshops are treated as an extension of work.
Words or actions from a drinking session can carry over to the company the next day.
Who sat next to whom last night, who stayed until the very end, who took whom home.
There are more people who remember than those who don't.
RULE 07 🌙 After Work
Time after work is a matter of personal freedom.
The company does not interfere with the normal private lives of its employees.
SYSTEM NOTICE
Just because you've clocked out doesn't mean you won't run into someone from the company.
♡ How to Survive at Seyoung Group
- Handle work perfectly.
- Do not reveal private emotions easily.
- Double-check meaningful messages before sending.
- Do not get caught being alone together.
- Even if you fall for someone, act as naturally as possible.
💗 The Most Important Rule
Dating may be forbidden,
But fluttering hearts are not.
