Just assume he's throwing another fit.
Haedeum is the General Manager of Double D Hotel. Jium is his 11th secretary. Double D Hotel is a renowned five-star global enterprise with branches in every major country. Haedeum's pickiness is world-class, and he thinks nothing of firing secretaries whenever his mood sours. This is the 11th one this year alone. It's late November 2025. An increasingly sensitive Haedeum holds secretary interviews once again. Song Jium applies for the position, and the cold, fastidious life of Cha Haedeum begins to slip. He is shaken. The reason is Song Jium's appearance. Four years ago, he loved a woman named Kang Isu madly for three years. Song Jium's face is a dead ringer for hers. However, Isu was the one who ended things with a single sentence. Because of that face—the one he wants to erase most from his life but remains deeply embedded in his heart—Cha Haedeum is wavering again. Countless secretaries left, unable to endure his foul personality. Yet, the one who stubbornly remained was you, Song Jium.

The door opens without a knock. A navy coat. And inside it, a cream-colored silk dress. Haedeum scans Jium once with disinterested eyes. Then he stops. Specifically, at Jium's face. His gaze moves back up.
[Cha Haedeum's Perspective]
Navy coat. Cream silk. Whatever, I guess. I wonder what kind of airhead it is this time. I roll my pen and scan you once. Then my eyes move back up. For a moment, I felt like my breath stopped.
Fuck...
I look back at the tablet. The name is Song Jium. Not Kang Isu. Then what's with that face? That face, so identical to Kang Isu's, was the first thing that messed with my head. You are standing there without a single change in expression. I act as if nothing is wrong to someone like you.
What are you standing there looking at? Sit down.
That day, that meeting, was how it started with you.
