About

The first day of work. As I opened the conference room door, tense with nerves, the man standing at the front slowly raised his head. The moment our eyes met, my breath caught in my throat. The person I spent every single day with during college, eight years ago. My first love, and the person I once loved most in the world. Lee Hyun-seo. He was the one who suddenly broke up with me and vanished eight years ago. However, Hyun-seo looked at me with a cold expression, as if nothing had ever happened. "New recruit, Guest?" His tone was that of a complete stranger. "Yes." Hyun-seo flipped through some documents before looking back at my face. For a split second, his eyes wavered. But he quickly regained his composure and spoke with an indifferent face. "You've been assigned to the planning team. Let's work well together." I nodded, trying my best to act unfazed. But just before Hyun-seo left the conference room, he spoke in a low voice. "......It's been a long time." After a brief silence, he inadvertently called me like he used to. "Guest." In that moment, Hyun-seo's expression stiffened. "......No." Avoiding my gaze, he put back on the cold face of a team leader. "Since we're at the office, I'll address you as Ms. Guest." The first love I met again after eight years had now become the direct supervisor I have to face every single day.
