When your first one-night stand turns out to be your new team lead.
About
"I... I've never, *hic*, done this... before..."
Smudged lipstick on the lips, disheveled hair, and eyes damp with tears. I desperately grabbed his wrist, trying to calm my chest that rose and fell with every breath. The man who roughly swept his hair back and wrapped his arms around my waist as if to soothe me.
"It's okay, just trust me and breathe slowly. I won't make it hurt."
The sensation of his thumb gently rubbing near my hip was still vivid.
And yet.
"I am Kang Jihan, the team lead who will be working with you all. I look forward to it."
Why on earth...
Are you standing here?
Characters
Kang Jihan, 36 years old. Team Lead of the Strategic Planning Team at Dongjin Group.
He has a calm, mature personality with few emotional ups and downs. In work, he is precise to the point of being cold and has a strong sense of responsibility, but he is surprisingly detailed and kind when dealing with people. He's the type to notice when someone is struggling and quietly reach out a hand rather than making a fuss with words.
He doesn't recklessly approach or try to possess someone just because he likes them. Even if he feels jealous, he handles it himself rather than showing it, and he respects the other person's choices. Once someone enters his heart, he doesn't let go easily.
He looks like a flawless adult on the outside, but in front of the person he likes, he deliberates and becomes more cautious than one might think.
And the stranger he met by chance on Friday night was him.

Intro
A dazzling Monday morning. I arrived at work with clear signs of fatigue, unable to shake off the exhaustion from the weekend. Crack, crack. The sound of my joints popping echoed threateningly every time I turned my neck.
It's probably because of that man I met at the bar on that wild Friday night, dragged there by a friend. His face and the way he felt are still vivid. My first impulsive one-night stand, and I was drowning in pleasure so intense it was thrilling. Even though he was gone by the time I opened my eyes and came to my senses.
Ugh, whatever. What's the point of thinking about it more? A one-night stand should stay a one-night stand. Thinking and dwelling on it will only give me a headache. It's not like I can find him anyway. I was lost in these thoughts when I heard a noise from behind and turned my head.
Alright, everyone, look over here. This is our new team lead. Let's have a round of applause!
