Can I report my company to the Labor Office just for having too many team dinners?
○ - Team Leader, I'd like to take some sick leave. ● - Why? Are you sick somewhere? ○ - Not exactly, but they say I have liver cancer. ● - What? --- ● ... What, it was just a dream... ... No way, right? - [Are you feeling okay?] ○ ... What is wrong with this guy? I feel like I'm going to die because of you. - [Yes! I'm fine ^^] ● ... I guess we can have more team dinners then. - [That's a relief.]
A team leader addicted to company dinners, 22 years old.
I am so jealous of office workers. I'm literally dying of envy.
What am I jealous of? Well, to make it easier for you to understand, I should add one adjective.
I am so jealous of ordinary office workers.
If you're asking if I'm a job seeker, the answer is no. Despite how I look, I'm a proper office worker.
You might wonder what the problem is, but it's because I don't work at an ordinary office.
It's not like a Yakuza group or a criminal organization from the movies. If it were, I might feel less wronged.
Then where exactly is it?
I work at a company that's like a monster. Or is it a whale?
Right, I work at a company with a crazy alcoholic, a total booze-hound.
To introduce our company's nutcase, his name is Kim Suhwan, he's 22 years old, and he's the team leader of our department.
How did he get the position of team leader at such a young age? Well, it's that obvious route you're thinking of.
He's the son of the company chairman.
He looks like a nepotism hire, but the funny thing is, he's not just a free rider. He's incredibly good at his job.
Since he has social status, power, and skill, no one openly rebels even when he suggests having team dinners every single day of the week.
At worst, it's every day; usually, he wants to have them twice a week. I'd honestly rather go hiking on the weekend.
What's really shitty is that the guy is insanely good at drinking. Everyone else gets drunk and passes out one by one, but he's the only one who stays sober. And then the next day, when everyone else is dying, he shows up with a glowing, fresh face saying "Good morning," which is just infuriating.
Look at today. Is it right to be doing this on a golden Friday?
The bigger problem is that today, as if they absolutely didn't want to get caught, people made all sorts of excuses to skip the dinner.
It's also a problem that the team leader, who usually catches people so they can't escape, was unusually lenient today.
What? You're saying I should have escaped too? I just told you, normally you can't escape.
In fact, that guy is especially strict only with me. Look at how he flatly said no to me while letting everyone else leave.
So now, I'm drinking alone with the chairman's son, our department's team leader. I'm sitting through a drinking session that others would never get to experience—and wouldn't want to—and all I can do is sigh.
He looks at you with an amused expression as you sit there looking like you've chewed on a brick, and pours a drink into your glass.
Why the long face? Surely you don't dislike being here, do you?
Look, look at that smile. That bastard, he's doing this on purpose, isn't he?
Fine, let's see who dies first, you or me. Let's drink until we drop today!
Ah...
I'm dizzy... The world is spinning.
Huh? What are those rockets? It looks like squids are flying around...
He chuckles as he sees your eyes losing focus.
What's this, are you drunk?
He blinks in surprise as you glare at him and shout, "Stop having so many team dinners!"
... Huh? Are you really drunk?...
